a public statement but the u.n. secretary general antonio warned often and containable security and humanitarian crisis. israeli air strikes a lot of the night sky at one point dozens every few minutes creating another sleepless night in the gaza strip there is so far little news of casualties or the extent of the damage gaza officials say dozens of people including children were killed on sunday that would be the highest death toll since airstrikes began leaving palestinians to mourn their dead. watch this father himself wounded in an airstrike on his house breaks down as he bids his daughter a final goodbye. across the border in israel the damage isn't as bad but people are living in fear of hamas rockets. wrecked buildings and burnt out

cars proof that not all missiles are intercepted by israel's defenses. life here is not simple it is living with the fear but you never know where the rocket hits syria their rocket attacks for which there are no alarm as you see people are walking around as usual but it's quite distressing and then most of the united nations has called for calm. to leave. this latest round of violence where it's the cycles of this destruction of the spear. in the eyes of. existence and. fighting must stop the u.n. security council held emergency meetings but all efforts to produce a statement on the issue were so far blocked by the united states israel's closest ally. it comes as israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu

says he won't be reining in his powerful military anytime soon. we will continue for as long as it takes to bring back peace to you the citizens of israel will still take some time. people living in gaza say the magnitude of sunday's airstrikes was unlike anything they witnessed before as calls for deescalation continue to go unanswered. and. is covering the story for us she joins me now from jerusalem good to see you 10 yet a nother night of air strikes on gaza and rockets from hamas what more can you tell us. well absolutely now there are brand rocket launches during the night but there was also about a 3 hour long haul was in between and then the rocket fire have resumed from the gaza strip mainly into southern israel now israel's military carried out very heavy

bombardments during the night throughout the night with heavy bombardment reported in the early morning hours many also into norah's de israeli army says that they targeted again the tunnel system inside gaza what they called a metro system underneath gaza which is used by hamas and islamic jihad and the army also said it had targeted 9 homes or residences of hamas commandos now we're getting reports from gaza that also power lines have been damaged and that also a fact the water system and also one of the main coastal roads has been demonstrated waiting to hear about the number of casualties and injured. israel's prime minister. says that the campaign will continue at full force do we have a sense of how far israel is willing to go. well that's right he said it again on sunday that the military plane against hamas against

a continuing he also said that he feels he has the support of the international community or rather the united states as well that the pressure is mounting and i think the window of acting is closing in the coming days but you know we have conflicting reports now of what is whether this is going on we know that you know a possible cease fire was not on the table was not discussed in the high security cabinet meeting in israel on sunday and from our own sources who might understand it and those discussions only by mid tweak there. probably domestic considerations a lot of pressure to continue. to have some say is a big achievement or decisive achievement without really defining what that means and also the military has said continue see that they will continue they want to

degrade the military capabilities of the militant groups of hamas decisively all right that's. kramer reporting in jerusalem for us thank you tonya and now for some of the stories making headlines around the world the weather phenomenon lenya has forced heavy rains to bristles amazon region families have been forced to use can use to get around and they're queuing up for a these flats could become the latest in a century of thinking and hundreds of thousands of people. and that the trial is underway in hong kong for 10 pro-democracy advocates charged with incitement for taking part in an honorable to rise for taste in 2092 defendants i filled a banner that read free phonetical prisoners before going into court to me and i a prominent media tycoon is already serving time for 2 of the protests. and that's of rocket has brought it all from the u.s. state of virginia off to bad weather kept it grounded for several days the black

browed 12 carries a payload that will help scientists learn more about how energy travels in space. all signs are emerging that india's coronavirus spike may be easing the number of daily new cases has been declining over the last few days the crisis is far from over the number of new infections still drop special of the country's health ministry says around 280000 cases and more than 4000 deaths have been officially recorded in the last 24 hours and the real figure is thought to be much higher. b. international community has been delivering aid to india daily bureau chief under tichina sent us this report on equipment saved by germany. dutch town in delhi on a hot sultry evening this military transport planes bringing a precious cargo to a country struggling to cope with a deadly 2nd wave of the coronavirus it is

a medical oxygen generation plant sent by germany unloaded with care it's part of an international aid effort to bring relief to the city of delhi has gone through a harrowing time people had seen and then loved ones literally gasping for breath as often supplies ran out i only attempt to boost auckland supplies here is hugely balcombe by nightfall the plant is taken to a provisional field hospital set up not far from the airport. 13 members of the german bundesrat medical corps came with this oxygen generation plant to india. this by beach the machinery's assembled german position needs indian and genuity within a few short days the generator is ready for use its capacity is large for a city which has faced

a desperate oxygen emergency i think it's important to help in young people in general the supply system is able to provide 400000 liters. per day and it takes the surrounding air and furthers the oxygen out and this oxygen can be filled up into normal oxygen cylinders starting from 5 up to 50 little indian staff are receiving technical training on how to operate the system once the german team leaves as of today scientists from the defense research development organization and now fully responsible for running the plant. this sudden sunstone was not planned but everyone here is aware of the importance of this project dr look remember going all world record like $100000000000.00 or do a parliament. repent of good government gomer good never started the ball go to the small grove on the road for really good lovin oh no where to go good luck blah.

blah blah that will reduce. the oxygen is pumped into cylinders sealed and tested and then sent to wards in the field hospital west and 1000 covert patients being treated 10000 liters can be filled in less than half an hour time is of the essence as the german team prepared to leave india was its mission accomplished its absolutely mission accomplished and it was a great honor to be here 'd to help people here in india was just providing oxygen due to the fact that from our perspective every little county here and those who faced india's heartbreaking oxygen shortage can only agree they know every breath counts. now parts of the u.k. are easing lockdown rules today despite concerns over the spread of a coronavirus variant 1st detected in india pubs restaurants and the hospital is

even use are being allowed to reopen off to being closed for months people and families will also be able to meet indoors with some restrictions for the 1st time since last autumn but a number of health experts are calling for the measures to be delayed after cases of the indian variant tripled in the past week in parts of northern england. i'm joined by david is a correspondent bit of mass in london hike good it's good to see you so is there opposition to the government's course. well i think generally it is a happy story and many people will be really happy that they can go on and hug their friends that's officially being sanctioned and that people are allowed to meet in the woods again albeit in smaller numbers only 6. meeting indoors and private homes however the people who have been warning and are seemingly not very

happy with this development are some scientists and you've mentioned it some health experts and leading people in the fields have said that they are for them for their role in their own life that they wouldn't go to a restaurant just yet and that they wouldn't go to a pub and they are basically saying just because you are allowed to do something it doesn't mean that you actually should do it so they are urging people to stay cautious. and as you say i can imagine people are relieved that their restrictions are easing to a sense but what do people think do do console or relieve predominate here. well some older people i've spoken to are still quite cautious and they're not rushing off on a holiday just yet international travel also within limits is reopening younger people though we know that some pods and restaurants museums are being booked up but i think after all to to to risk is is something that is that's

a very pass nothing and there are obviously also young people who are still very cautious and there is one mitigating factor that was mentioned this morning by said the car on the london mayor when he was almost in the light of experts warning that maybe this is being too rushed he said that people should actually test themselves so the government has given out as freely available test kits so people are being almost 2 to basically self monitor with rapid tests and if people really do that twice a week is what's what can happen that's as many tests as are available passing so if people really did do that and continue to be cautious then maybe this can be sort of kept at bay this indian very and and speaking off it big it how far has it spread and where are the hotspots well at the moment are

from the data that we have available not very many cases just over 1300 they are mostly in the no thing then bought the london mayor has said that also there are 400 in london and the the warning is that this virus transmitted very very quickly so the help hypothesis is that it would spread quickly through the country if it's not being kept at bay and there are some people who are in the government to come forward with vaccinations in the hot spots so even younger people should be vaccinated where the virus is very very the new variant as is predominant. reporting for us amanda thank you because. in russia to decide where the groups opposing jailed craven and opposition. should be declared extremists they have been clamping down on opposition to president leslie a person designation could mean activists face long jail sentences for opposing

russia's leadership. when has been speaking the support about the precious face. this letter seals the deal it officially ends on the contract with a nice team under a head of the opposition politicians regional office and to fear for 4 years. russia will be free he says one day was arrested at recent an authorized protests his team organized into the air but now his office along with 36 others in the campaign network have had to close russia's state prosecutor wants them declared extremist under a tells us he wants to create a new local political organization to keep working. for politics was always centered on the russian capital moscow but thanks to the novell the campaign offices political activity has bubbled up across russia's regions roots now it's

time for us regions to jump into the deep end and swim for ourselves it's hard and dangerous but it's a necessary phase in the development of political life not only in fear but across the country. and that he and his team in there have become friends over the years like andre most of them have been arrested several times and have accepted threats and pressure as the price to pay for pushing back against the kremlin but the extremist label takes that to another level that could make symbols like this and for not viney illegal activists found to be part of an extremist organization could face up to 10 years in prison. i lost my job and when i tried to get a new one recently they told me in private that their security service wouldn't let them hire. me we have already had problems with work. if they really start tightening the screws and i see that they're making a show of putting former employees activists and volunteers of the not only offices in jail of course i will think about how i may have to lay low somewhere for

a while. but. even people outside of actual team have been facing increasingly serious consequences for protesting against the government earlier this year thousands were detained during demonstrations in support of me and there have been several reports of employers firing people for backing the politician since the recent protests in support of. kremlin critics across russia have been under increasing pressure and that pressure is unlikely to let up ahead of parliamentary elections in september including for the activists here. but i'm very proud is unrelentingly optimistic the 31 year old wants to keep pushing for a more democratic russia and he says he's willing to take personal risks to further strengthen the role of civil society in his home city and the whole to be our region. the example of alexina vali

who came back to russia knowing that he would almost definitely be arrested strengthens my sense that sometimes you have to pay a personal price in order for you and your country to have a bright future so you're clear. on me. now on that he wants to register as a candidate for the regional parliament in the upcoming elections he hopes his association with now by a nice team won't get him barred from running. and every show and who filed that report joins me now. as we've mentioned groups supporting alexina vonnie are in courts today state prosecutors according to them to be labeled extremists what can we expect. well this is the beginning of the proceedings against 3 organizations associated with me including

his anti corruption fund and also that network of campaign offices that we were just hearing about in the report the proceedings are taking place behind closed doors and of course we don't know what the outcome will be but judging from the signals that we've seen from the authorities in the last few weeks even it does seem a bit that the writing is on the wall even when it comes to the network of campaign offices for example it was the state prosecutor's office here in russia which actually asked for these extremist proceedings to be opened in the 1st place they've already stopped the activities of the offices that network of offices ahead of the trial that starts today they've also already added the offices to a list of extremist organizations even in anticipation of this trial today so it does seem that we're seeing the authorities cracking down on that network and on

that structure. right right m.b. and these organizations these groups that are affiliated to alexina vania they have a lot of grassroots support but could they survive being labeled extremist. i think that's the big question now these allies have said that the campaign offices one of which we just heard from will be continuing their activities independently without any centralized organization without being officially associated with me but we just saw you know that office and they are very optimistic but the question at the moment is how this extrude missed law if you know it comes to pass that these organizations are declared extremist how it will be used because essentially it means that even potentially former activists and volunteers could face jail sentences it also means that if you for example posted

symbols associated with alex say now on your facebook account 3 years ago let's say you could potentially face a fine or even jail time for that association and that support for an extremist organization if that is what we see today in the court proceedings all right emily and then you'll be watching that clip proceedings today thank you that's. been in moscow. now in chile a president sebastian pinera is center right government has suffered a defeat in elections to an assembly that will be tossed with drafting a new constitution but nearly all votes counted independent candidates and leftist parties secured the greatest number of seats now the constitutional assembly will have to address dave's seat of social discontent that triggered mass process a new legal framework will sweep away restrictive laws dating back to decades of the dictatorship of general. it's considered chile's most important

election since its return to democracy 31 years ago at stake our seats in an assembly to write a new constitution by design and half of those elected will be women there are also positions reserved for indigenous representatives. chile's social and economic divisions contributed to the outbreak of deadly protests in 2019 that stretch for more than a year many hope the constitutional overhaul will heal the rifts. we want an end to those gaps that restrict people's freedom to develop because of the place where you were born or because of the economic opportunities you have. you are we want our own constitution our law by us expressing who we are just that the people's constitution not a constitution dictated by other people none of. those

demands could be answered after this series of elections 1st there was a vote last year to draft a new constitution the current election is on who will draw up this document and then mid next year another visit to the ballot box to decide whether or not to adopt the new constitution but it's not expected to be smooth as parties on the left and right battle for their say on the final document. football news now and in the german bundesliga boris he had dortmund who knew that a when of a mind would sweep him into the champions league next season instead of france. already clinched their top flight survival and it looked like their minds were already on some a vacation as stuart went east to victory. dortmund might have expected an easy ride against them might side with 5 changes and little to play for and there was certainly enough chumminess before kick off to make frankfurt funds wince. and

their fears were realized on 23 minutes when james and son to set up rafael guerrero to curdle dortmund in front might see his young stand in keeper finn dumb and left clutching thin air. on 42 minutes sun 2 was at it again dunson down the left and feeding captain marco royce dortmund at half time and more wool for young dom and. it was too easy for son to as he was allowed to saunter into the box royce neptune just ahead of erling holland and the 2nd half was no looking like a straw for the visitors. on 18 minutes holland set up to watch road down and to make it through. the keeper taking a need to be face in the process. before been quite scored a consolation goal for months from the sport an injury free one the final score another feather in the cup for dortmund interim coach at inter it follows german

cup success with champions league qualification and a case of you could have won for frankfurt you could only watch on an envious dortmund celebrated. was ideal for both teams a secured life 2nd place in the bundesliga while the visit his clenched champions league qualification now a 1st half double from maximally and philip including this stunning strike could force 2 goals ahead at half time but justin cloistered holds a goal back for life and after i dar was stripped marcel made it to 2 from the penalty spot and that's outraged. and what he is has a reminder of our top story israel has launched a new serious strikes on targets in gaza as the conflict with hamas shows no signs of any u.n. security council talks on the crisis ended with no agreement on a public statement. and coming up after the break is our program to
