3:32 pm
thousands of israelis running for bomb shelters in the alert. the walls alsoo a miraculous esescape for thehese drivers as rockets struck a hobby afghan eft ashdod. that's been a correspondndent it was michael who is based i in j jerusalem fr us it was getting to you. tell us more about the e time line of today's events. and tell you that over the last- aloe we've seen the full set of airstrikes- from that i is israeli airir strikes i in the a strip. andndhat rocket firee is still c coming into israel now there's just been sirens in the south. earlier in the day the rockets did reach as far north as tel aviv in schools- w were clososed all the wayay up to th- but- now we are seeing the rocker slides. down in the south of israel closer to the girls a border- sir it's been. sixteen hours i think since the assassination. overer about who abu al ata. he it was a very
3:33 pm
significanant figure in n islamc jihad and that's why we saw ththat that lararge funeral tody and that's why w we've seenn ths barracks of rockets. and he was also responsible for a lot of rockefeller previously i think and that's part of why there is it's such a davis collection that we've seen. is there a fear that it will get worse- areas that more the exchange of fifire is going to happen. all i would definitelyay thatt that in the hours ahead there wilill be and- conontinue to exchange f fire. i it's quite interestiting what israel hahas done is it's isolated- islamic jihihad if you like. and it's targeting islamic jihad sitites at in the gaza strip no hamas arts and hamas has not joined in the rocket fire back i into israel what we have seen today is islamic g. had. rockets from islamic jihad which is- i'm sure you know are funded and backed by iran. so t the questin is will it be something that
3:34 pm
hamas joinsns will expand further- and then we would escalate into something reminiscent of the terrible war of twenty fourteen or are we going to see something more isolated. that lasts twenty four. thirty six forty eight hours and then comes down and i cannotot tell you which of those two options is going to buy. and as i have a wrist with the situations there are many- civilians. that are gonna get caught in the crossfire. that's right in the and there's been a relatively low injury level inside israel and that's for two reasons. one is that israelis are very gooood at listening to the very strict instructions they get about going down to bomb s shelters. the other is that israel has the i and- missile intercept system and it has been intercepting incoming rockets. in gaza they are less fortunate i dont havee bomb shelterers thy don'n't have a a goverentt that looks a after them in the same way. a a israel hasas much more terrible weaponsns than these national prerecision guided weapons.s. my whole terrible
3:35 pm
weapons actually- and so do t te people in gaza- more vulnerable thth the p pple in this role bubut people s suffer on both ss of this. conflict there is no doubt aboutut that. here'e's michaeael f for now w well belit that but- i think we mighght be talking- over the next a couple of hours about the situation thank you very much indeed ever smacked. our correspondent joining us from jerusalem. next we move on to our our a special series of features about that libya this week looking at the situation that tonight to report exams the human cost. off the conflict in l libya f from twenty four supporters have been on the g ground to meet the people. whose lives have been literally thrown into turmoil since the arab spring in thee full of colonelel wanna get aftr eight. hundred twenty thousand libyans at least are internally displaced that means forced. from their homes by violence and ongoing disorder some even yearned for the days off to take to ship. the second special report you don't go off. a dollar mark ollie and

3:37 pm
are imprecise shelves grad missiles and mortars some date back to the second world war it's impossisible to use them fr surgical strikes. where yeah in a very d densely populatated sub on the outskirts of the city. we could hearr frequently the sounds of the fighting people here tell us it happens daily. they could have more to find that is especially dangerous after the sun goes down. the impact of the wall is felt throughout tripoli the road signs a stacked with mountains of rubbish the main landfill site is blocked off by fighting. and garbage collectors are enrolled in militias on the front lines.. the u. n. estimates that at least a hundred and twenty thousand civilians have fled the violence. here in the neighborhood of abu salim of more than a thousand displaced families a sheltering. red one a former teachcher is now living in this school with his wife and three children. they
3:38 pm
abandoned the home on the frontline a few weeks ago. a number so there was gunfire a mortar shells right by us. my children all speech in the- they didn't want to stay there and that was in it. in the university so i want to send a message to my brothers in the east and the west. i want to sit around a table together and find a solution that satisfies both sides. i want to be able to walk safelyy in the streets. if you set out and then it was a- i wish i shed d by so many of the libyans we've spoken to. since the beginning of this conflict in april. countless lives have been overturned. all right exclusive reportining that from libya. next a abel morales says the strugglee conontinues bolivia's and latin america's first and only other indigenous president spoke from mexico he's been granted political asylum the left wing leader spot anger on the streets of the pods as he tried to cling
3:39 pm
to power at the expense of believe his own constitution he was totold to resign byy the a y thirty six hours ago. from city fools debbie kalman son of is a specialist on latin america he recently made a really interesting reporters that special program about bolivia under- morales on that david jones is not full- more comments and analysis of the current situation. david we saw in the report is program you did for us how. morales had made a big impact on the lives of ordinary bolivians and that was a really positive thing now of course he has been virtually kicked out of power he saying. the struggle continues. what to try to say without. hitting mark wills is pretty difficult to understand what's what's his what is it in his head because a few hours ago. it seemed like he wanted to lead a resistance to accrue from bolivia. and now he's in mexico. so what is for saying is that he's denying any wrongdoing. that that's the first thing. he is not charged
3:40 pm
with. anything and- and he's probably trying to say that he will be fighting for a political comeback in the in the next few months in the next few years. and that he doesn't want to go down in history as a villain i don't think that's- does very important to him. he's called me the coop is that a fair or accurate assessment in any way you think. well i will not give you- a black and white answer on this because it is pretty complex. yes in a way it is a crew because when- the police refuses to guard the presidential palace. that the army doesn't want to step in to replace the e all of the police that is a a mutiny. that is that is a crew. the fact that the right wing the position. said even before the count was finished even before the elections that they wanted him
3:41 pm
to go. that the east of the country which is a very rich. start to the civic movements others will call it an uprising against the president's yes that. that has elements of the crew on on on the other side- there are. elements now that are quite solid about a massive fruit during the elections- so and- the explanation that there has been a popular- movement a popular uprising against an arrogant presidents who has committed fruit. i think this is a valid point of view as well. and so in the next i don't the two point of f view al not exclusive i think i think there are elements of the crew and there are elements of the popular- of pricing but the reality now is that there is a
3:42 pm
big vacuuuum of power in bolivia and- we're expecting in the next few hours for some new developments so it to begin with mro as were very much amount of people- representing his indigenous say indian. tribe and coming forward and actually pretty lots of people's lives definitely but power corrupts and it seems that somewhere along the way he's kind of lost his way on the people of bolivia i'm happy with that and the call for change the militia forces him out like that. what happens next because i could say something has happened next few hours is there a fear perhapsps of. looks towards the far right in bolivia. that is a possibibility but we'rere we'ret ththere yet but what is h happeg now iss that the sentences all trying to convene in la paz and elect a new president of the sentence. who with the current situation will become an interim presidents. with the task of organizing new elections. the said the
