i melissa chan, welcome. the mosse run. health ministry says more than 30100 people had been killed during the war in gaza. this, as the conflict sparked by some off flood terror attacks and october enters its 10th month you diplomatic efforts are once again raising hopes of a truce. as the violence continues. though the ministry set saturday that at least the 16th people were killed by and is really strikes on a un run school and the central refugee camp of new site, right. the screens and smoke filled the air moments of to is rails. the tech survive is scrambled to search through the wreckage at the school and know serrano around

stevens 1000 people estimated to be sheltering in the area. and as you know, the, we run to the target to the area. we saw bodies of children and pieces. this is a playground. there was a trampoline, he a swing set, some vendors civilians are killed. this is a united nation school. it's supposed to be safe and should not be targeted. every strike we find bodies blown to pieces. look upon, i swear to god. i took out children with my own hands. the wounded rushed to hospital. a belt with health services on the brink of collapse. children were treated in busy color, it was it's rouse, military student, had been targeting to your risk and be attacked from us, denied sizes. with their meanwhile in tel aviv thousands of protesters once again demanded as rouse government except

a char joins us now from jerusalem. what is israel saying about this deadly cause? a strike on that you and run school as well as our claims that the area around that school was allegedly used by homeless militants to carry out their attacks while i'm a submitted since again, claim that allegedly, the soldiers were not even nearby place and called to claims very similar ones. we have heard during the past 9 months as the war and guys and so it's 10 months today . and the question really is for the people on the ground for the hundreds of thousands of palestinians who have been displaced again. and again. what's next, either way out from this, just for this particular test drive the on that school, the hearing from the palestinian health ministry that at least 16 people had been killed. many others had been pulled to the injured. but where do these people go? weapon enjoyed their new operating only very rather mentally,

very partially operating hospitals at this point in gaza, is that people the thousands who have been seeking shelter in that particular school. these people have been displaced over and over again. and some of them probably have consider themselves even lucky to be inside the building as so many of the listing is right now. try to somehow survive intends if they even have a tend or look for a place where they can sleep outside. so that situation on the ground is drawing disastrous by the day. why once again people are asking, is there an end to these facilities at all? and when, and speaking of a way out of this about those ongoing ceasefire negotiations, any reason to be optimistic? this is definitely some cautious optimism. i would say the very fact that the diplomatic ask for us has been revived during the past week. and the very fact that obviously nobody expects how much split it into that is where the official has to be sitting at one table. but the fact is katasha that's playing with the key role

here in trying to mediate between these policies. to make sure that the u. s. proposed ceasefire plan is being put in action, is leading to some cautious optimism. i would like to revive a i would like to remind of you are since we got to that ceased by a proposal by the us that's been put full with the may that into it entails not only until 3 p. so the release of hostages allegedly, about $120.00 hostages, i still believe to be in gaza, but also the withdrawal of israeli troops and ultimately the rebuilding of casa, that's a long road ahead and at this point, a space that currently both either out and, and, and gods are in and the parties that are trying to negotiate with each other is the question. just how to move forward with regard to any framework to 8 shoes and what we are hearing right now that's kind of submitted and apparently you have dropped one of the key demands. and that was so far that they wanted to have a commitment. but as well to

a permanent fees file before any agreement is being signed, the document has been dropped. and now the boy is really the court of user on how they're going to respond to that hard. they going to respond to, i'm not saying that they're really ready to negotiate with the got to the release of is really hostages. any sense of how is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu is looking at the deal? so it's really difficult to look into the policy because mine to say, so for me to send it anyhow, i think it's supposed to mention that so far during the pos to a past 9 months, as the guys of was entering the 10 months today. there was only one week of truth and that was end of november last year that ended on december 1st and prominent students. and y'all has been very pores to repeat over and over again that he wants to eliminate how much militants and even though the intense fighting may be over at some point soon, he wants to eliminate even the remnants of that military of that militant group. i'm with that too much. obviously a lot is at stake when it comes to negotiations and also the question of trust. so

even if there's an agreement, can these policies actually trust each other that have been fighting each other, but only since october, 7th, but years and years before that that, that agreement then is going to be implemented. certainly what's happening here and is running across the country is an increasing pressure when it comes to problem to send it to y'all and his government that he's not doing enough people say that we've got to try to release and secure the release of hostages. thousands of people have been taking through the streets yesterday and also taking the just street today. they demanding a release of the hostages, but also they want to have someone else leading to walk in gall is out. they do not try got a problem and it's 10 to 10 now and he's government are the right ones in place. finance. i chart in jerusalem, thank you so much. now to some of the other stories making news around the world. at least 7 people have been killed after a multi story building collapsed in western india. it happened in the city of

serrato in the state of good drops trapping. residents, under the rubble authorities say it's unclear what caused the collapse as europe's tallest active volcano. mount etna is still spewing streams of red hot lava or cannick. activity from one of its craters has intensified this week causing explosions that had been covering the sky in black smoke and ash. and nearly 3000 people have rallied against mass tourism in barcelona, the popular travel destination in spain. ne, demonstrators say the number of visitors is forcing shops and businesses serving local people to close and local authorities say housing costs in the city as sort, almost 70 percent in the last decade. the city band, taurus department rentals last month, france is voting in the 2nd and final round of snap parliamentary elections. voters

are casting balance that could produce the country's 1st bar, right government, since world war 2, president emanuel mclaren who took a huge gamble on calling for snap the elections cast his ballot in paris. he could lose his centrist majority and parliament to the far right. national rally party, which has emerged as the dominant force in several opinion polls. earlier i spoke to the w correspondence. sonya found a car in paris. i asked her about the likelihood of the national rally winning. that's absolute majority. that was the national gravity is certainly going into the 2nd and final drawing, defaulting in and really unprecedented position all straightened. but in recent days, we have seen frantic efforts by the west wing alliance. the new popular front and preston, mccall sentenced alliance. really making efforts to block the far right. this strategy has been to kind of withdrawal candidates on 3 way to run off and unite behind the remaining content. those who have the restaurants to beat the national body. we've seen more than 200 candidates pull out,

and that could be working opinion both show the actual value and automation portfolio short of an absolute majority in parliament. but there are still a lot of unknowns today. one major concern is that not all of my call centers lives have united behind the strategy to, to block the far right that alone. because we've, you know, we did the left with the, with the pod. right. and it's tons of extremes, policies and the concerns of this kind of mixed messaging might put off sensors, photos, and stop them from voting for the left and drawn off against the far right today. so i think a lot depends to be on whether voters, really, he'd be schools, why mainstream policies to shun the pod? right? pretty whole then noises and bolts will candidates what really fall from being the 1st choice in the 1st round, but also showing not from authorities the to a note has been high by, by noon, slightly higher. in fact, then, during the 1st run, the highest, the thing since 1981. but we don't know is they have to false whether this a who the, the high to and out which quantity that would benefit from. and we're also hearing

the campaigns been marked by threats and even some uh, physical violence. can you tell us more? that's correct. i mean, this campaign has really been a very rushed and intensive very for the rising. we've heard from the interior minister jet, i've done my now who's saying that 51 candidates, the deputies of party activists have been physically attacked by people off reading backgrounds. the french media have also reported about a spike in kind of hate speech and racist incidents around the country to give you just a few examples that are reports of pamphlets targeting, but black people appearing in mailboxes in the powers sub recently that are reports of to be create in the southern city of, of the meal which reported the hired an apprentice from the ivory coast that victory was started with recent slogans and set on fire. and the ex, let's see over the explore express real concerns that the surgeon vote to support for the anti immigration. natural riley has really seems to have made some people comfortable using racist and 05 will be the language openly. now in public life,

the candidates, many kinds of natural gravity themselves wind gusts in controversies, they've been posting. it will races tapes for each on social media. and to add to all this that also security fields, your fields of alignments tonight, the virus mobile cities, regardless of the outcome of the vote, security has wouldn't be felt that i'm more than $30000.00 police officers deployed across bronze today to make sure the vitamins you know doesn't break out until the 2nd round is slightly taking place on the very fraught atmosphere and very quickly what does this mean for pet president because he stays president regardless of the outcome of the elections? correct? that is correct. i mean pressing macro on his said he will stay in paula to distress central mandates ends in 2027. but you know, regardless of the outcome of the vote, i think macro image is from the certainly we can, has sent us a lines. a somber is very likely to ship support lose seats, involvement, and battlefields that this might, you know, we can macros for the we can montrose ability to shape policy and it would probably
