this is the w. news line from berlin people united in anger across the occupied palestinian territories and in israel thousands of palestinians take to the streets to protest israeli airstrikes on gaza in some cities protesters clashed with police there's been no letup in the conflict after 9 days of fighting also coming up. spain sends in troops to restore order in the north african enclave of c.u. to it says about half of the 8000 african migrants who swam to the border have been

sent to morocco. and as britain eases coronavirus restrictions there are now growing concerns about the spread of a new variant 1st detected in india one hot spot has stepped up vaccination drive to stop a surge in new cases. hello i'm a head of 100 calls are intensifying for an end to fighting between israel and hamas militants in gaza france has followed the draft resolution at the u.n. security council calling for a cease fire thousands of palestinians protested across the occupied territories and israel launches say it was the largest show of their anger at israeli airstrikes since also began last week of a 200 palestinians have been killed. the streets of hay braun

full of palestinian protesters part of a day of anger that saw strikes and demonstrations in jerusalem in the occupied west bank a show of palestinian. shared outrage over the death toll in gaza and israeli policy toward the occupied territories. this is may have been put in at last we must all go out into the streets and fight in solidarity with our people dying in gaza because here we have settlements and checkpoints and an occupation and all palestinians must play a role. in the death toll rose again on both sides on tuesday on the israeli side rockets from gaza struck a house used by guest workers in the israeli town of ashdod killing 2 thai nationals. the sound of explosions is constant in israeli areas within the rockets range the iron dome anti-missile system stops most but not all.

i don't claim and we've lived in this situation all our lives we could say that we're used to it but it's not logical that a terrorist group is dictating how we live so for a few hours you can rest then after that hamas launches rockets it can't continue like this. israeli air strikes on gaza continued fueling a humanitarian crisis most of the dead here are civilians and now thousands of gazans are cut off from clean water and have no access to medicines. hospitals already struggling with a covert 1000 pandemic are stretched to their limits israel says it is targeting leaders of the militant hamas movement that governs gaza and a system of tunnels israel says are used to move weapons. as global calls mount for an end to the bloodshed the white house says president biden told israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu that he supported

a cease fire but stopped short of calling for war meanwhile netanyahu has said israel will not stop airstrikes and so hamas pays a price a price gazans are already paid. well i'm joined now by michael fruits and he's a journalist covering the middle east and executive editor of the media line news agency thank you very much indeed for being with us here on news now calling for a cease fire u.s. president joe biden says he supports one and did take a tough line with netanyahu in a phone call the day before and the u.n. security council held discussions on the israeli palestinian crisis idea today do you get the sense that there is movement here on the diplomatic front to end this crisis. absolutely and you know it sort of sadly tragically follows the pattern in the previous conflicts conflicts that went into ground invasions israel was given by the international community. slight demands for the 1st 2 weeks of

bombing from the air and that pretty much exhausted the tolerance that the in the nations the world had for may started squeezing to stop and israel did do that the leadership of israel is faced though with their people saying why do we do this every 4 to 6 years why do we do this to you know with such precision what we have to stop you have to prevent these rockets from flying again and that of course makes it go on and on non they're also involved and in the election cycles on both sides of the conflict this makes things even a little more cloudy the palestinians as well as the israelis so there's a lot of play without even going to the discussion of the proxy war fought on behalf of iran ok you mentioned the other the leadership and the elections and i wanted to ask your thoughts on this what do you make of how the leadership in the palestinian territories and in israel have handled the so far. well the

palestinians are of course divided between fatah and hamas. has to take in the the leader every time there's a conflict may say to the palestinian people our armed resistance is working it's noisy it's it's tragic we lose lives we lose people we lose buildings but we get somewhere and we end up with some tangible results in the end whereas fatah talks a lot promises a lot and nothing happens don't forget that there's supposed to be palestinian elections which would be seminal for the palestinians the hamas people want to once and for all take over legally as well as practically they believe that they have the chance to do this there's a lot of intelligence gathering going on as israel demonstrates how it responds to attempts to overrun the anti-missile system that goes on and what about how i

promise amid promises now who has handled this conflict so far we know that the bombing just hasn't stopped on both sides how much support does he have domestically for this if he has support but support with strings attached that the people want to support him because they want to support a leader when the country is being blown apart but at the same time they're saying you know you've we've been here we've done this this is not no it's it's really repetition already you've got to actually do something so we're seeing sort of a an urge on the part of netanyahu that we haven't seen before in and when use or desperation but he must have much more solid results and the people must believe that it's going to be over once and for all and not come back in 46 years. all right michael fritz and thank you very much for your analysis pleasure. let's take a look at other stories making headlines around the world in the u.s. state of north carolina the offices involved in the fatal shooting of andrew brown

will not face criminal charges prosecutors said police were justified in shooting brown a black man because he stayed his cotswolds them as they try to arrest him the killings sparked weeks of protests demonstrators marched again after the decision. police in bellerose have raided the offices of the country's largest independent online media outlets to buy and shut down its websites to buy has been a key source of information on the opposition protests that started last year is the latest crackdown on free media in bellerose. german police have courts one of the key suspects in a high profile robbery case in 2019 thieves stole priceless historical jewels from the famous green vaults museum in the eastern city of dresden the arrest on monday night took place during a raid on an apartment in brooklyn now spain is sending

back thousands of migrants from its north african enclave of sea uta on monday a record number of migrants arrives in a single day thousands of them most of them swimming almost to colleges along the mediterranean coastline breached the border from neighboring morocco spain's prime minister pedro sanchez made an emergency trip to see it or amid worsening bilateral relations with morocco. they have been arriving all day and night. most of them rich say you to by swimming some 2 kilometers along the coast of morocco or by using inflatable boats or on land by scaling this 10 meter high wall which spain had erected. spanish authorities quickly put a stop to all of that busily rounding up all the migrants and sending them back to morocco definitely not a place they want to return to. the

spanish authorities meant business and certainly didn't hesitate using force for some it looked like it was literally sink or swim. spain has sent in more police and military to secure the area the spanish prime minister petros sanchez has also arrived in ca before the trip he made this statement. my priority as spain's prime minister at this moment is to guarantee the control of transit through the border with morocco provide the cities of seo to emelia with everything they need to resolve the humanitarian crisis as a result of the arrival of people and to proceed with the immediate return of i repeat immediate return of everyone who has made an irregular entrance to say you and i stipulated in the agreements spain and miracles of scientists years ago. the a move. as if. the migrants from africa have been attempting to get into europe via

this beach for years but they have never crossed in such numbers. on some reports as well as this footage suggests moroccan police allowed many of the migrants to cross over into se you to in the 1st place because of a diplomatic spat with spain morocco is upset that a separatist leader who is seeking independence for the western sahara region ruled by morocco is true. only getting medical treatment in spain. officials in madrid say they are now reinforcing security in say you to to prevent any further arrivers . now to some of the latest developments around the corona virus pandemic the world's largest vaccine make up the serum institute of india says the exports of doses to other countries will be suspended for months the company will focus on india's new cases in the u.s. around 600000 children were vaccinated last week that's office regulators cleared

the use of the biotech phase a vaccine for 12 to 15 year olds and leaders have failed to finalize a vaccine pos scheme that holiday hub seen as a vital lifeline for this summer's tourist season talks will resume on does day. people across britain have been celebrating the easing of coronavirus restrictions by going to pubs restaurants and cinemas for the 1st time in months but the spread of a new variant fast identified in india is causing concern cases of the new variants have more than doubled within a week in the u.k. the town of bolton is the hardest hit is both to cues and waits. search vaccinations are underway in this northern english town to combat a rapid rise in cases of the covert 19 variant test identified in india it's already the dominant strain here and is likely to become dominant nation warned

what we've noticed is worth our virtual rates in both. the transmission has been happening in the younger age groups i've been getting a lot of pressure on their central government especially to make sure that we can rely the vaccination as quickly as possible and essentially what i've been saying in recent days after accelerate the whole also before the end of may this is a delicate moment in the u.k.'s fight against coded 191 thousands have been vaccinated here in the last few days alone these measures are unlikely to contain the spread with the same variant already detected in dozens of areas in england you cave had a successful vaccination campaign say for some 70 percent of adults have had at least one dose but that still leaves a considerable number who are unvaccinated the authorities here a warning is among that population this strain could spread like wildfire this variant is considered more transmissible than the u.k.'s dominant can strain what

isn't known is by how much a significant increase could see hospitalizations. but there is reason for hope in both in the majority of those in hospital haven't been vaccinated despite being eligible to sign vaccines a working. information that we've seen a j.c.b. and suggests that. our current vaccines do confer immunity against even this new variants we're picking up novel virus infections but we're not seeing severe disease emerge. in a fearful way so. so i think it's quite likely that we'll keep. be able to vaccinate. as some remain cautious others are enjoying newfound freedoms. socializing indoors returned across the country this week with the restrictions due to be lifted in just over

a month but the government says the next few days will be key dates your own case numbers in transmissibility will help determine with the england continues down its path to freedom oh puts the brakes on its road map out of lock down. news line from up next alcove of $900.00 special council find much more news and analysis on a website that has to. fight. the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. has the rate of infection been developing what does the latest research say. information and context the coronavirus update 19. on t w. o guys this is the something to 7

percent stuff about full blown off the streets of these deep issues and sure i did . what. young people did you have the solutions good future comes. 77 percent now every m d w o. there. is skepticism undermining the united states vaccination success story. about 250000000 doses have been administered so far. almost every 2nd american has received a shot in the arm a 3rd a fully vaccinated. but the pace is slowing which has experts worried.

bob or 6 percent to be the difference between you know really having protection is . worse is still having a lot of back to cases. without her immunity it will be hard to stop the coronavirus from always making comebacks. officials say the sudden slowdown in vaccination rates in june to some americans refusing to get their 2nd shot it worried about the side effects for hesitancy and skepticism is stubbornly high among republicans and white evangelical christians the more black americans are lining up for the jap. reports. there are over 30 vaccination sites in jackson mississippi a city of 160000 residents one of the locations is at the state university site empty chairs and in a waiting staff state the see they have 250 doses of the vaccine available today sometimes we have to waste and there's the shame because we know that there are

many more people that need to be vaccinated the mississippi is last in the united states and cope with 1000 vaccinations only 26 percent of the state's population is fully vaccinated some have changed their mind but a vaccine hesitancy still poses a major problem i was a very is the to put. everything kind of prayed about it and. gave it some thought i feel like this was the most responsible thing to do be safe with my family and people around me and i were going around a lot of patients every day so. at jackson hence health center dr chapman and her team offer daily vaccines for free with no apartment. quiet but also at this site the traffic of patients remain slow will find in those off the. a lot of conservative weiss. and then a lot of the minority young is not getting what he tried to just give them more and

more education. even some health workers are hesitant like barbara patrick who eventually was convinced would you like to look down the fire or to. move forward as a health worker she was offered the vaccine in january but didn't want to be the 1st in line for one day i think it was not that i was anti you know vaccination but now has a to it was because i wanted to see what the at home all those would be factors. with every shot of the vaccine the risk of the spread to returning dramatically decreases but this is still not enough the city of jackson has decided that if people don't attend the vaccination centers they are going to bring the vaccines into their communities. in a mobile clinic packed with vaccines and supplies the health workers strike 4 to 5 times

a week to the suburbs the goal is to make it as convenient as possible for people to get their vaccine or have you know. today it's a church after 2 hours only 2 members of the community come in to get their shots. i worked at my. in this way recommended for when we come in a community in a big so i can come in and take. this time there 100 vaccine doses available a much needed to all and wanted around the globe but demand here is quite low some are still has to there are some who are barriers like transportation we don't require a porn so it makes it more coming. to test it and see it's not only about convenience maybe they're trying to you. people of color to get the vaccine to really do some research. that's one of the things even asked for.

facts and statistics convinced her that this is the only way to return to normal also in their church. and let's bring in monica gandhi a professor of medicine at the university of california great to see you again since we spoke last time i don't know if things have really changed why why is there still so much to see. and resistance over this vaccine. you know i think there are 4 reasons and you just illustrated some of them one is in communities of color which additionally in the united states have had a mistrust of the medical system we have to work harder we have to work with communities to do the messaging church based messaging things that you just talked about the 2nd is distrust of the government and where a very polarized political country and right now this is being rolled out in the by an administration even though it was made in the trump administration and that i think it's the reason the c.d.c. said you don't wear masks after vaccination i think they're actually trying to

motivate republicans right now that are not sure about it and then i think there are people who are just simply it's inconvenient they will get it when they get it the young is among them and then i think people are waiting to see if it's safe and i do think we will get there but it's work it's hard work so what's what the governments need to put in. so what president biden is committed to is the hope is july 4th 70 percent of people will have gotten the 1st dose change from a system where we have mass vaccination sites which we used to have and now going out to communities which you just illustrated so rural communities putting it in doctor's offices where people have trust in their physicians longstanding relationships they can talk to putting it in pharmacies so this is called a spoke model instead of the hub that going out to actual communities it's it's

california put in $33000000.00 just for this campaigns for people to educate each other this is actually no longer just putting up a site and hoping people will come now it's actually work to think about how to message differently and i actually think that's why the c.d.c. gave us this message that you can have a normal life no more mask i think they are trying to motivate. dr anthony fauci says hoed immunity is still somewhat of an elusive number can you be any more specific i mean that's what the aim is here with the vaccine isn't it is you know herd immunity in the traditional infectious disease definition i don't think is allusive what herd immunity means is that you get enough of the population vaccinated or immune by natural infection but hopefully vaccinated that anyone who's unvaccinated is protected by other people's immunity and what it's reflected in is getting lower and lower cases with higher and higher vaccination rates so

that a child who can't get vaccinated is protected like they were in 2001000 by very low cases when we look at israel when we look at the u.k. they have such low cases even as they're opening up with the 1st dose rate of 64 percent and 54 percent respectively and i think we'll get there we think that europe will get there you know i think you know he gets a bit more of what what happens when all these countries open what about the fact that every country is moving at a different pace south korea set a goal of reaching herd immunity by november but shipments of being slow german officials hope to unity by autumn but caution the disease will not have disappeared by then i mean isn't it just going to keep coming back and coming back because it will disappear in one part of the world and reappear elsewhere there is no doubt that global vaccine equity there is no doubt that getting that scene to poor countries and places that need it is the only way to truly get

a herd immunity absolutely it will keep on popping up in knots why there's nothing more urgent right now than to getting the whole world vaccinated this is unfortunate coronavirus happen but we actually have a tool that is not that expensive to get there what gives you hope just briefly that we can beat this superbug. what gives me hope is that there are 4 countries that are going fast as you know states is the 4th bahrain in israel and the u.k. are 12 and 3 and they are opening they're actually opening people are seeing each other and he says are staying low i also think the corner of our us does not u.t. i know it seems like it mutates a lot because it was transmitting a lot but once we get the numbers down i don't think it's it doesn't mutate like influenza does this is an r.n.a. virus that has a very strict proofreading mechanism my hope is that these vaccines are incredibly effective and we can get if we all work together on accounting thanks for being on

the show again thank you. and it's that part of the show where our science correspondent there williams answers your questions on the carotid virus. i've been vaccinated and feel some side effects and i contagious to others. pretty much all of the vaccines approved so far and various parts of the world are fairly react though generally which means they often cause mild side effects like pain and swelling at the injection site as well as things like like 15 or headache or fever or chills or aching joints by and by some estimates about 2 thirds of all recipients report those sorts of effects soon after having a shot they generally disappear within a day or 2 side effects appear to be more common in women than in men and also seem

to happen more often in younger recipients then in the elderly but but side effects aren't caused by live virus replicating in your body because the vaccines in use don't actually contain any live virus instead they employ a number of different tricks to to fool your immune system into believing you've caught the virus many vaccine platforms work by delivering genetic instructions into your cells that cause them to build sars kovi to proteins these harmless components teach your defenses to recognize the virus without really exposure to it the available chinese vaccines accomplish the same goal by using chemically inactivated or or disabled virus to put the immune system on red alert but but because vaccines don't expose you to live virus they can't give you the disease

hence you. can't be contagious assuming of course that you didn't catch 1000 for real from someone in the days between vaccination and the ramp up of your immune response the sometimes unpleasant vaccine side effects experts say are actually a kind of confirmation that your immune system is reacting as it should. by. eco africa. when you combine initiative and bob a way that makes eco friendly transportation and a berlin startup that recycles batteries from electric cars what you get are emissions free cargo bikes for women who live in the countryside. the mobility for zimbabwe the code for go. next.
