reign of terror. good evening thanks for joining us this is. palestinian groups have declared in a joint statement a cease fire against israel after the situation on the israel gaza border suffered what's being called its worst escalation of violence since twenty fourteen warplanes have unleashed a torrent of bombs hitting targets in gaza after hundreds of missiles have been launched by militants. the joint operation room of the palestinian resistance factions declares that the egyptian efforts have resulted in reinforcing the cease fire with the israeli occupation the resistance will abide by the cease fire agreement as long as the israeli occupation and here's to the egyptian brokered truce earlier i discussed the latest with artie's middle east correspondent paul

aslan he joined me in the studio. well as we heard over there have mass which of course is in control of the gaza strip and monitors what's going on with all the groups that operate there has called for ceasefire incorporation with islamic jihad primarily has been firing a lot of rockets at israel now half an hour before they made that statement they did issue on their twitter account a statement in which they say that israeli strikes were targeting civilians saying that they believe that israel had run out of what they say are military targets and they blame the whole aggression on the israeli side saying that israel started this whole flare up of course a very different narrative coming out from the israeli side where we hear that they're holding no surprise i must responsible they say it was triggered by an incident yesterday in which a rocket landed on the israeli bus that was carrying soldiers and a nineteen year old soldier is in a critical condition and they say there they say has intensified and caused the whole situation to flare up they also hold responsible the rand they say that iran

is the one that is supplying weapons money and orders to both hamas and islamic jihad in the territories now the final figure we have at this stage is seven palestinians killed and one israeli killed who of course was a palestinian worker unfortunately was on the israeli side during the conflict we are expecting that these tensions will continue to climb so it seems like a daily thing that we used to hear about the violence and the deaths in the region how did we get to this point well the last war between israel and hamas was back in two thousand and fourteen and it really has been an unstable situation along the border over the last few weeks we've had the great march of return that has intensified tensions and there's a lot of discussion a lot of emergency meetings that are being held in israel today there was a six hour security cabinet meeting where the israeli side is still trying to decide how to deal with the situation and what to do so it's not certain right now that this will flare up into a full scale war but certainly the tensions on the ground and every so often we witness what we've seen now is this kind of flare up in tensions in the last twenty

four hours there were four hundred sixty rockets fired at israel hundred ninety. intercepted by the iron dome that is the highest number ever that has happened at the same time israel struck a hundred and seventy targets in gaza over the period of twenty four hours just take a look at what the last twenty four hours have been like for the world. i . was. looking at those pictures there when the level of violence is it's terrifying to think that it's escalating you dread where this was going look really the reason maybe it's temporary but the you know there is a pause in the violence and i must mention egyptian led efforts what were they

referring to well egypt has always come to the party in terms of being a mediator between israel and hamas and it has the buy in from the israeli side has the buy in from the palestinian side so they are and natural mediator in this situation they have been egyptian intelligence officers in and out of gaza over the last few weeks because we have seen this flare up happening a few times this is nothing new together with the united nations and in this case norway and switzerland they have brokered what seems to be a cease fire we're hearing from certainly the palestinian side that it's a ceasefire that they willing to buy two if israel in its hostilities so it always becomes a bit of took for tat neither side really wants to see a flare up in violence it's not going to do the hamas and the palestinians in gaza any particular good and so israel wants to try and avoid it so the one good thing is that both sides will be trying to find common ground through the egyptians and reach some kind of mediated peace. these are two sides member who's a professor of political science at the west bank bears right university very good

evening to you professor still no official reaction we understand from israel on the cease fire announced by palestinian groups what do you think their israeli reaction will be will they support this truce. yes absolutely and i think this truce came out because there was a kind of a common agreement through the egyptian mediation to get to the this kind of truce between the israeli and the palestinian groups in gaza i think neither. side would like to see an escalation to go as far as a war like what happened in two thousand and fourteen so i think that. only homicide at least they said that from the very beginning that we are committed to come down the whole thing but at the same time we need to understand that israeli are also going to do so and i partly after the cabinet meeting today in israel they took they came to that decision it was

a difficult decision from their point of view because they thought in this last. they had achieved nothing to the contrary if we look at the israeli media they are absolutely wiping the government and say that there was a big failure by the government and the israeli army in even the you know dealing with the whole thing in. israel's claim was that it was responding to hundreds of missiles being fired from the palestinian side do you think the israeli response was proportionate. definitely not because any when we are talking about you know the powers between or the comparison in power between israel and hamas the absolutely there is no comparison. to have you know all kind of airplanes and especially the f. sixteen and the modified f. sixteen and they have the tanks they have the artillery what do have mass have they have only you know these rockets so that's the only thing that they can so in we

are talking about you know in a conventional kind of of war definitely there is no match in power but the thing is that you do know that if they are going further that not only by air strikes and you know artillery strikes to go inside the price will be absolutely very high for the israeli society because hamas is able to send rockets all over israel almost today with more fuel like developed. missiles that they have a blast or so if the israeli soldiers came inside how much there will be lots of traps and you know lots of resistance men who are ready for the confrontation so i do know that they are going you know to lose a lot and that maybe these are innocent is not going to tolerate that by the government and at the same time to just continue targeting you know by air or some . targets and buildings here and there like you know they brought down more than fourteen buildings don't really damaged and they had more than you know. fifty or

sixty of other targets they say that belongs to have resistance because all of them empty but that would you know leave you with nothing they can't achieve anything with all this kind of you know sending the force to do this kind of attacks and so by the end of the day the israeli think that it's much better for them now to go to this cease fire and to agree to the if you like. what the ship. came out both sides should agree on ceasefire to return back to the same square before what happened first the first sunday morning of course there's no way of knowing how long this peace might last it may be very fleeting do you think ultimately egypt can help bring peace to the region. well this is a very big you know word in this respect because if you are wrong to discuss peace

then you have to involve also the person in authority you have to involve all the palestinians you have to involve lots of issues it's not the matter of what we were talking about before the operations and this last conflict just only a come down that the hamas will keep the demonstrators of the great day mush mush is a little bit away from the fences israeli fences and enough to send these kites and balloons of fire to the other side and that's all about the demonstration will continue and return the israeli we ease a little bit. on gaza strip and the siege of that they are forcing for the last twelve years on allowing the petrol to come into gaza for the electricity allowing some other material to be of there and they were discussing a few other things that would ease a little bit this siege of again but not definitely the peace process if we are

going to talk about that this process we need first to end the separation between west bank and gaza between fatah and hamas and definitely to unify the palestinian and to have a reconciliation between the palestinians and to start a new government with the agreement of both sides and in this case then the palestinian will be united in going into any negotiations officially with the israeli side and this negotiation will end up in the you know the palestinian they are not going to negotiate terms over details but rather to end the occupation totally in the whole region and to give the palestinian the independent state on the borders of one hundred sixty seven including jerusalem and i think this is a whole a big deal we think that we need more than gyptian in this situation we need an international community to interfere in. case and since the american are begin by the palestinian at least outside the game and they are not anymore

a mediator between the israelis and the students from the perspective of the palestinians so we need differently russia and we need the european union we need the united nations we need international community to interfere in such negotiation either by international conference or by direct negotiations between the palestinians and israelis to be mediated by these powers not just united states and in this case we might come to and that also is conditioned by putting real pressure on the israelis to comply with the decisions and to start you know comply with the united nations resolutions regarding the occupation and indeed the accusation of speaking to professor of political science at bezout university side nima side thank you very much. if it is being released allegedly showing the executive director of a major n.g.o.s that provides help to migrants discussing how she teaches refugees

to lie to border guards. because you. are this is the. way that. this video that's been doing the rounds online is part of a larger investigation project by the canadian activist laura sullivan the clip allegedly shows rekha who's the executive director of the legal aid n g o advocates abroad in this video clip she seems to be telling the undercover crew who were filming her against her knowledge that she coaches refugees and migrants on how they should how they should speak to border police and to other officials. knowing that. this is working to determine if you are interested.

and. where many of you watching would be pretty unfamiliar with the name advocates abroad there are a legal aid n.g.o.s it's been operating since the beginning of twenty sixteen they provide legal aid to legal advice to people going through the asylum application process n.-g. o. operate in the e.u. as well as right across the middle east area their own website says that they've helped fifteen thousand people cross into greece into the european union that way and another two and a half thousand into the e.u. through differing ways advocates abroad issued a tweet in which they said this was all right wing propaganda that had been the video it being altered and it was altered for political means now that tweet was deleted they've also since delete to their online social media presence their

twitter account has gone. and their facebook account is gone as well so expect certainly more to come of this video coming out in more on that investigation into what's been going on there with n.g.o.s reportedly helping but in some cases asking to break the law those people who are trying to come into the country. the creation of the world's biggest trade bloc is on the table at the summit of the association of southeast asian nations or c. and that emir putin's making his first appearance in singapore of the events being overshadowed by rising tension between china and the u.s. he's done of reports. vladimir putin is here in singapore and while his official program is set to start only on wednesday he's already kicked off some of the events he had planned on the margins of the summit like for example meeting with the singapore and counterpart of another big thing everybody's kind of looking out for here is the fate of the so-called regional comprehensive economic agreement now

if that comes into fruition you could see this stablish month of the world's largest ever free trade zone because the sixteen countries it seeks to unite they all together make up with a total of a third of global g.d.p. it is being pushed forward by china it is the main spearheading force but it also does have some opposition some skeptics like for example india doesn't want to cut back on its import tariffs they say their economy benefits greatly from them and so that's why some analysts are saying that it is really unlikely that the deal that the pact will be signed here in singapore but well it's a good platform for those countries to sit down and resolve the cli some of the differences another thing also kind of all revolving around china is bending more city between beijing and washington you can see the two countries are literally at each other's throats over many many things for example china wants the united states to stop conducting military drills in the south china sea and washington

just flat out ignores that washington made an arms deal with taiwan that did not sit well with china either and of course there's a trade war that donald trump launched against china and so with both leaders with both the ping and donald trump not attending the summit these differences aren't going to go anywhere other nations who are present here they're concerned that they will have to pick sides between the regional powerhouse and the nation that sees itself as the globally dominant power things can get even worse because the man that the united states decided to send here as their ambassador is mike pence and he did not mean. when it came to china china has initiated an unprecedented effort to influence american public opinion the two thousand and eighteen elections and the environment leading into the twenty twenty presidential elections china wants a different american president he's remarks have been compared to those major in

the cold war between the united states and then the soviet union so it doesn't really look like that the whole animosity between beijing and washington will die down any time soon. international independent china specialist underling believes even though the the dollar is ation of the world may not happen anytime soon the use of other currencies in transactions will be more frequent i don't think is the likely to lead to the station as such. in the sense that u.s. dollar would be totally abandoned when i was definitely lead to a more than a single currency being used in some of the major transactions but don't forget the design a dollar we have already got the euro and the british pound i think that in the future we are going to see the remember. and want more than one row and

not too distant future the importance of the remember could well match that of the at least the british are all the euro. and could well overtake the japanese yen but then look this doesn't mean that it's going to unseat the dominance of the us dollar anytime soon it would hit many many many years. record numbers of french police officers are committing suicide the latest victim a prominent campaigner for officer welfare. reports from paris. well there's shock here in france because this individual is seen as being or having been a leading voice in the protests in the movement of police against the attacks that offices have been going over the last few years she was a woman called maggie and she was actually the founder of that movement now the reports here in front suggest that she took her own life in the last day using her

service weapon and she was found dead at home with a note nearby and that death now is being treated as a suicide here in france but why was she so important well the thirty six year old was actually also the founding member of the mobilization of angry policeman this was a group that was set up back in two thousand and sixteen after police officers received a massive attack they were attacked with protesters with molotov cocktails and in fact two individuals the police officers were severely burned with others being injured as a result of that attack as well now she has also been under investigation over the last year for what she described as speaking out to the media about attacks against the police without permission from senior officers from the police service now police suicide is a burning issue here in france with the statistics showing just how incredibly high it is for this particular profession now those statistics show that in july it was

the latest to sticks should that for this year nine thousand police officers and sixteen had taken their lives that was back in july in two thousand and seventeen more than sixty police officers took their lives now it's such a burning issue that the government did launch a plan to tackle this earlier this year saying that they want to do more to help people realize if their colleagues needed support but there was criticism that that plan didn't go far enough well there's been a lot of reaction on social. in media today the news of that death including from senior politicians such as the interior minister and the leader of the national rally i was in very city on with a co-exist few days ago megabits must not end here i hear the anger of the police and we are responding concretely with more effective measures and more resources on the ground the suicide of my keep scoops president of the mobilization of angry

peace officers. is a terrible symbol of the police suffering she said tirelessly denounced this suffering took and it's a big shock for all of us well we've spoken to many police officers over the last year or so who talk to us about some of the issues that they face some of the abuse some of the attacks that they face in fact one police officer we spoke to in the last six months said that as a result of that piece they had actually considered it taking their own lives let's look back now at some of the most serious attacks that offices have faced in france .

since the channel r.t. arabic has obtained documents that detail money rewards paid by islamic state to its fighters for example two hundred dollars for the capture of anyone doing to an infidel and fourteen hundred for destroying a tank and it shows us the terrorists were not only motivated by ideology.

worrying numbers of u.s. soldiers who've taken part in the international war on terror the military campaign launched by washington in two thousand and one and i was struggling to make ends meet in a new study finds that they're facing even worse hardship than veterans of previous wars caleb maupin has

a closer look better as are the favorite cause of pundits politicians and anyone else who wants to appear patriotic across america there is no shortage of support our troops bumper stickers flag waving and praise for the military remember all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation who gave their last breath dad a distant land fighting terror gave everything for family country god and freedom or you our respect our veterans are a national treasure their sacrifice will not be in vain but all. that bombastic praise an expression of gratitude doesn't exactly translate to a good life studies show that veterans of the war on terror are among the least likely to be able to afford a home once they return to the united states that's right those who've risked their lives in conflicts around the world are among those who struggle the most for basic needs like shelter with housing obviously veterans are going to space you know a whole host of related challenges

a combined with all the ways employment to legal situation to is but the general perception among the population when you have twenty thousand veterans suicides a day is it better and still make particularly good employees i'm tempted to say stones in a proud p.t.s.d. and in combat but it's really so much deeper than that in a big part of what my generation of veterans is beast need in the united states day particularly unique combination of mental health issues that come out of the nature of the occupations of iraq and instagram and the truly that we get from the v.a. is i have experienced myself where bill pushed hillsborough than actual fact the treatments the trauma suffered by many veterans takes its toll on all of society just recently a former u.s. marine gunned down twelve people want to california bar here or you heard it maybe suffer from p.t.s.d. or crisis. and i thought that was i don't understand that was part of discussion

when the deputies went out to the call with the crisis team that felt he might be suffering from p.t.s.d. facing that the fact he was a veteran has been a macor the war on terror has had a massive humanitarian cost the latest study puts the death toll at around five hundred thousand half a million but the authors of the study admit that it's actually much larger an additional large number of people have died in these wars by indirect means researchers suggest that in recent conflicts for every one direct death there are at least four other indirect deaths. that's surprising link among veterans many are starting to ask is all this bloodshed really helping a lot of veterans and we know are starting to understand that these wars was fundamentally illegitimate that the stack of spices they need were not made just in vain but not even in a righteous cause but who are the perpetuation of the current system of governance of the this live under throughout the world where people in charge get to treat

people who aren't like broccoli the perception of the wars in iraq and afghanistan has definitely changed over time you're in the united states i think just. a matter of going oh yeah we get it now that we were like you that we were taking advantage of it as a people so badly and being convinced to support these invasions and occupations many americans feel that during the vietnam war big mistakes were made and how veterans were treated that's why we see a huge amount of flagwaving and support for military families every time there's a pentagon intervention sense that however at this point a lot of americans are starting to ask if supporting the troops is really just about flags and bumper stickers a lot of americans are wondering if supporting the troops means that maybe we should be more cautious about sending them into harm's way so routinely and if we should be maybe more concerned about giving them a decent life once they return from conflict kaleb up and r.t. new york this thing with. the latest in haifa.

that whole russia gate hoax it never got any traction then no prob but it's great troll bait and i think trump is pleased that he got increased seats in the senate and he'll get barking mad nancy pelosi hitting the russia game in every single day

which will drive ratings for rachel maddow now but it will do nothing to help them win twenty. greetings and salutation is the united states of america celebrated veterans day this past sunday november the eleventh and everywhere on newsfeeds from sea to shining sea u.s. citizens thank their fellow citizens who served in the united states armed forces and while the parade of online thanks along with a few actual parades is a kind showing of respect to our veterans who according to the u.s. department of housing see roughly forty thousand forty thousand of their brothers and sisters homeless on any given night maybe.
