the poor conditions police face. that evening they say starting international. palestinian groups have declared in a joint statement a cease fire against israel and this is after the situation on the israel gaza border suffered what's being called its worst violence since two thousand and fourteen israeli warplanes unleashed a torrent of bombs hitting targets in gaza after hundreds of missiles were 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 it hears to the egyptian brokered truce. earlier i

discussed the latest with our middle east correspondent paula sleep. 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 a cease fire 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 are 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 were 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 it was. i i. only. the i. i. it's looking those pictures there in the level of violence is it's terrifying to think that it's escalating you dread where this was going literally 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 are willing to die to if israel ends its hostilities so it always becomes a bit of tit 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 in certain 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. after the cease fire was declared citizens of gaza took to the streets to back. the decision by hamas on the screens you can

see them gathered on the ruins of the axa t.v. station destroyed by israeli missiles. let's bring in political analyst and post the mitchell brock good evening to you mitchell we've seen the background to the story now but we still waiting on official reaction from israel why do you think we haven't heard anything as yet well you know this is like putting a band-aid on a very big wound for israel i mean it would be great if israel and the hamas which is a terror organization could come to some type of agreement but the problem is is that they fired four hundred rockets in the past few days into israel over the past few months there have been hundreds of times that there have been citizens palestinians from gaza trying to charge the fence and charge the border and they've been flying a flaming kites into israel which have been destroying lots of agriculture have been threatening people threatening buildings and starting fires they are hoping to

start fire simmers similar to the ones that are raging now in california so the israeli government on the one hand would like to have a cease fire right now the problem is is the israeli government and specifically the israeli people want to put an end to this type of behavior and the way the hamas has been behaving and the violence and the terror of hamas which is seeks to destroy the very state of israel given what you've just said do you expect israel to agree to this. yes if you ask me i mean i think that you know no one is looking for an escalation i think all along israel has been interested in having some type of quiet on the border this has been the case the egyptians have been involved since the palestinians have been charging the fence and trying to you know gain access to israel and through the border so israel has been trying all the time to keep things quiet and just in the last week prime minister netanyahu himself and the defense minister approved

a cash payment by qatar via israel and the fuel has been coming in and the supplies have been coming in from israel and everything was really going well as far as things getting hope you know back to whatever normal is gaza but israel wants to avoid the humanitarian crisis that could take place there i mean that place is very dangerous it's dangerous for the people that live there it's certainly dangerous for israeli citizens but the people the two million or so people that live there are living under very very difficult position conditions and that doesn't help anyone not israel and certainly not the palestinians or anyone else in the region when they are under such stress and such hardship given how long running and how big this conflict has been how much hope do you have that this truce will hold for very long. well again it's very simple and i've said in this studio on this station and many other stations if the come os or any of the palestinian terror

organizations would just lay down their weapons and stop you know inciting and stop terror stop paying terrorist families stop encouraging terror stop encouraging palestinians to kill jewish israelis the israeli army would react israel army is the israel defense forces it defends the state of israel so there is no interest on the israeli side to escalate the problem is and it always goes back to hamas is a terror organization they still call in their charter for the destruction of israel they still speak of liberating the entire land what they call palestine and where we are today in israel and the palestinian authority and pays terrorist families based on how successful they are in performing terror attacks and has not really fought terror coming from the west bank and the palace in authority itself was the you know was was founded on the ashes of the p.l.o. so they have a base in terror and that's really where the problem is if the forces would come

down there on the palestinian side certainly if you look back at israel since the oslo accord in the early one nine hundred ninety s. there was an interest and many many overtures by israel and israelis to trying to come to some kind of peaceful settlement or at least agreement where both sides could live together side by side mitchell thanks for joining us here in my guest post that political analyst mitchell barak thank you. videos being released allegedly showing the executive director of a major in which provides help to migrants discussing just how she teaches refugees to lie to border goes. because you. are this is. this video that's been doing the rounds online is part of a larger investigation project by the canadian activist laura so than the clip

allegedly shows rekha who's the executive director of the legal aid in geo 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 going to determine if you're interested. in what i'm. growing up. while 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 the 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 been altered and it was altered for political means now that tweet was later deleted they've also since deleted their online social media presence their twitter account has gone. and their facebook account has 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 a c. on putin's making his first appearance in singapore events been overshadowed by rising tension between china and the u.s. reports a lot of food in his ear 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 the establishment 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 least 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 xi jinping and donald trump not attending the summit these differences on 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 mince words 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 and 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 and independent china strategist underlying beliefs even though the polarization of the world may not happen anytime soon the use of other currencies in transactions will become more frequent. i don't think

it's a little leap to deal. 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 in the future we're going to see the remember the. row and there are not too distant future the importance of the remember well matched that of the at least the british pound are all the euro. and could well overtake the japanese yen but then this doesn't mean that it's going to unseat the dominance of the us dollar anytime soon it would take many many many years. record

numbers of french police officers are committing suicide with the latest victim a prominent campaigner for office a well for or to charlotte do basically 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 at offices have been going over the last three years she was a woman called maggie biskup ski and she was actually at 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 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. tac 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 this was the latest statistics showed 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 media today to the news of that death including from senior politicians such as the interior minister and the leader of the national rally i was embarrassed to yawn with colds a few days ago. and 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 president of the mobilization of group police officers association is a terrible symbol of the police suffering she said tirelessly denounced the suffering to occur 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. peace they had actually conceded taking their own lives let's look back now at some of the most serious attacks that offices have faced in france . astonishing numbers of e.u. weapons are going to islamic states in syria and iraq according to a new draft report to be table to the parliament speaking at the debate on tuesday

lawmakers have already expressed their anger. explored skip feeling conflicts and add a tool to mass regulations of human rights a snap shot approach delivers policy countries need to share their interpretation of arms controls rules because currently we see member states failing to even make full submissions of the draft by german any piece of been alerting expresses shock of the volume of e.u. weaponry going to die as it urges far more to be done to stop export licenses that might be used to supply terrorists adding more effective methods must be found to stop such transfers. i'm joined on the line now by jonathan fry he's a writer and broadcaster good evening to you jonathan sort of detailed what's happening here but could in your opinion large amounts of a united weaponry as the report suggest really be ending up in the hands of terrorists. well all the reports are that indeed that has been the case this is

something we've known about really since two thousand and fifteen when diana shaw islamic state was much stronger than it is today the syrian government was reporting finding caches of weapons which had an e.u. origin and even more importantly at that stage what with all the weapons that were being found in iraq which had been seized by fighters but the really key element in all this is really the use certificates what seems to been happening is that weapons which were not in principle destined for the i.r.s. went through particularly bold garia into a lesser extent rumania and were then channeled to i asked fighters and that's very concerning and one understands completely why members of the european parliament in strasbourg this week taking this very very seriously and wishing to bring in new measures which could basically stop this sort of abuse of and use.

this draft names the u.s. and saudi arabia as states that should not get a new arms if they can be guaranteed as being the final recipient at what you make of them actually being named. well i think saudi arabia is no great surprise there is are also a parallel to all this a huge debate in the european parliament and amongst the nation states of the e.u. about curbing sales to saudi arabia itself because of the war in yemen in particular several countries the latest being norway outside the e.u. have brought in limitations on arms sales but we do know is that a number of very rich individuals i mean some cases rich organizations in saudi arabia and in some of the smaller gulf states have been buying weapons and then passing. the mom to die ash and also to the what was used to be called

a loose from the front and of the radical islamist groups that have been fighting against the regime in syria and causing havoc in parts of iraq so this is a very serious issue indeed and it really needs international action not just by the e.u. but also a proper in gateman by the united states as well because the united states has been at times in fairly ambiguous in its position these v some of the islamic groups fighting against in particular they all assad regime in syria weapon is renowned for being moral bastions and when you consider just how much money there is to be made along the supply chain do you really think realistically that we can stop weapons ending up in terrorist hands. i think it would be all and possible to say yes we can stop all weapons ending up but it was very interesting what happened in

belgariad in that there really was a very concerted international effort to track down those some excellent journalistic reporting done and also work by numb governmental organizations who track where weapons come from and where they're going and they do that by looking at weapons found in syria and iraq looking at the serial numbers working out where they came from and how they got there and then alerting authorities in various countries to put a stop to that and certainly would bug area that has led to much more improved situation but you're right arms sales is a huge business we're talking about billions and billions of dollars worth of trade and whenever there's a huge amount of money involved mixed with very political payments of course people who try to get around it so perhaps it would be utopian to think that actually one could stop it for good. we've been hearing the thoughts of writer and broadcaster

jonathan fried jonathan pleasure to speak to you thank you. finally this hour our sister channel the arabic has obtained documents detailing money and rewards paid by islamic state to his fighters for example two hundred dollars for the capture of any will deemed to be an infidel and fourteen hundred for destroying a tank and it shows us a terrorist we're not just motivated by ideology.

you know what you're not international thanks staying with us this evening. and often. it's hard to imagine the decades after the war a nazi doctor was still active and rich in the nineteen seventies grin until had as

the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery at ash was a german company grown until it developed for the denied a drug that was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy it turned out to have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby is anything. you know she said is just cut short arms minix a little mind victims i have to this day received no compensation then never apologized for the suffering and not only want the money i want the revenge. that's not on every.

biomass geyser this is the sort of four of us are still in florida we're just finishing up our gonzo american pilgrimage shoot a cross-country journey into the soul of america coming to artsy in december look for stacy yes we're in florida which is the home of the swamp and we have had elections just now where we drain the swamp of one party and install some more in congress so we're going to go over some of the election results just so you know because this is a swamp people love the swamp and you might hear some noises behind us that is some people building into the swamp where they like to live with the alligators here

behind us in terms of the actual polls that we saw in these midterm elections twenty eighteen the number one issue for both democrats and republican voters was indeed health care that was the number one issue both parties both voters they cared about health care they did not apparently care that much about russia but we get into that in that moment but health care was the number one issue max. health care number one issue why because the country is sick the country is sick and the ability to mend the country and to take care of the country is waiting. all parties involved and putting the government are down doing their gouging individuals are gouging the citizens there they're just dropping in and gallons in their institutions looking for every nickel and dime to pay the rapacious credit tours the health care companies the insurance companies that are raking it in at

the expense of the country itself it's amazing.
