the russian capital we are watching international. the top story groups in gaza have to the cease fire with israel off to the west cross border escalation since twenty fourteen over the past few days israeli warplanes have pounded targets across gaza after hundreds of missiles were launched by minutes and. 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 that statement from her math referred to an agreement mediated by egypt however there's been no official word from israel on whether it will uphold the truce middle east correspondent paula flair joined my colleague know harvey in the studio to discuss the situation. well as we heard over
9:02 pm
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 off from the israeli side where we hear that they're holding no surprise hamas responsible they say it was triggered by an incident yesterday in which a rocket landed on any israeli bus that was carrying soldiers and a nineteen year old soldier is in a critical condition and they say that they say has intensified and course the whole situation to flare up they also hold responsible the ran they say that iran is the one that is supplying weapons money and orders to both hamas and islamic
9:03 pm
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 now 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 and fourteen. 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 with 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
9:04 pm
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 taking a look at what the last twenty four hours have been like. i . was. the i. guess looking at those pictures there in the level of violence is it's terrifying to think that it's escalating you dread where this was going luckily 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
9:05 pm
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 so. the palestinian side that it's a ceasefire that they willing to die too if israel in 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 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. after the ceasefire was sick people took to the streets of gaza celebrating what they see as the victory for math they gathered at
9:06 pm
the ruins of the al aksa t.v. station which was destroyed by an israeli aberrate. and across the border in israel people gathered to oppose any fees. they called for an immediate military operation in casa we had similar contrast views on the conflicts. i think. would like to see this commission to go as far as for the war like what happened in two thousand and fourteen so i think that. the homicide at least they said that from the very beginning that we are committed to go down the whole thing but at the same time we need to understand that this israeli are also going to do so as they thought in this last. action they had achieved nothing good to the contrary if we look at the media obscene mutely
9:07 pm
why bring 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. 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 that hamas has been behaving in the violence and the terror of hamas which is seeks to destroy the very state of israel if the come on us or any of the palestinian terror organizations would just lay down their weapons and stop you know inciting and stop terrorist stop paying terrorist families stop encouraging terror stop encouraging palestinians to kill jewish israelis the israeli army would react. every day has been released allegedly showing the director of an n.t.i. which provides legal aid to migrants explaining how she teaches refugees to border
9:08 pm
guards. because you know i think. this is an. artist. 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 into other officials. knowing that. this is going to be very interesting. and.
9:09 pm
while many of you watching will be pretty unfamiliar with the name advocates abroad there are a legal aid n.g.o.s that's been operating since the beginning of twenty sixteen they provide legal aid 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 deleted they've also since deleted their online social media presence their twitter
9:10 pm
a. and has gone and their facebook account has gone as well so expect certainly more to come of this video coming out and 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 block is on the table at the asean summit of southeast asian nations but the event has been overshadowed by tensions between china and the u.s. as he reports a lot of support 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 this stablish mint of the world's largest ever free
9:11 pm
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.
9:12 pm
sit well with china 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 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 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 china wants a different american president his remarks have been compared to those major in the cold war between the united states and on the soviet union so it doesn't really
9:13 pm
look like about the whole animosity between beijing and washington will die down anytime soon. china and less tantrum and told us the use of the u.s. dollar in trade between asian countries will decline over the coming is. i don't think is the likely to lead to a deal or as asian 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 well don't forget the design a dollar we have already got the euro and the british pound i think that in the future we're going to see the really. one grow and not too distant future the importance of the remember could well match that of the at least the. all the euro and. well overtake the
9:14 pm
japanese yen but there's the 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. astonishing numbers of weapons are going to islamic state in syria and iraq that's according to a new draft report to be tabled to the parliament speaking at the debate on tuesday no makers have already expressed their anger. explored skip feeling conflicts and are told to mass migrations of human rights a snap shot approach delivers policy countries need to share their interpretation of arms control's rules because currently we see member states failing to even make full submissions the draft by jim an emmy paisa being listening expresses shock over the volume of a weapon area going to die if it calls for much tougher action to stop export
9:15 pm
licenses that might be used to supply terrorists writer and broadcaster charenton fryer says the supply of european arms to extremists in syria has been known about for at least three years. well the reports are that indeed that has been the case this is something we've known about their lives since two thousand and fifteen when the mixtape was much stronger than it is today the syrian government was reporting finding caches of weapons which had the origin and even more importantly at that stage look all the weapons that were being found in iraq which had been seized by fighters but the really key element of this is really the and use certificates what seems to been happening is that weapons which are not in principle destined for the i os went through particularly into the lesser extent rumania and within channeled to fighters and that's very concerning and one understands completely why
9:16 pm
members of european parliament in strasbourg this week are taking this very very seriously and wishing to bring in new measures which could basically stop this sort of abuse of and use. the us democratic party is reportedly trying to hits president trump with eighty five investigations the party will take control of the house of representatives in january after last week's midterm election. there is going to have to be investigations if the democrats do take the house president trouble wake up wednesday morning to a very different political scenario here on the hill they are going to investigate this president and his administration thoroughly they do intend to request president's tax returns former speaker pelosi insisting that her party will be strategic when democrats take control of the house in january they're going to get
9:17 pm
immediately to investigations on impeachment the democrats are expected to demand trump's tax returns which he's refused to release since taking office they could launch new probes into alleged collusion with russia they'll be looking into the president's alleged role in paying hush money to form a porn star stormy daniels plus there are plenty of other items on the list ranging from the legality of a travel ban from several muslim countries to the administration's spending on finisher. with control of the lower house and congress the democrats will have subpoena power meaning they can legally require any witness to testify in congressional hearings and produce documents since september alone the republicans have blocked sixty four subpoena requests from the democrats form an annoyed congressman michael patrick from again believes the democrats should use their new powers sparingly. congress is not an investigative body it's not what it does it
9:18 pm
has the power of oversight but oversight of the administration in executing congressional will and spending and in the direction of the nation democrats who have no agenda and ran on no agenda and have no desire to actually manage the business of the nation have only this to run on and they want to distract this president from the work he's doing because they just disagree with him they just don't want him to be successful and this is a way to derail him and the policies that he's doing i think the nation would like everyone to just take a breath step back but stu's some stuff if there's really some wrongdoing the democrats think are some are some genuine wrongdoing not just we need to see his tax returns because we need to know he's not worth as many billions as he says he is we want to publicly embarrass him which is all that tax return thing is about that that's ridiculous and nobody wants to see the time and energy spent on. record numbers of french police officers are committing suicide the latest victim the prominence campaigner for office and welfare. dubinsky has more from power. well
9:19 pm
there's shock here in france because this individual is seen as being or having been a leading voice in the protests and the movement of police against the attacks that offices have been undergoing over the last three 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
9:20 pm
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 nineteen 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
9:21 pm
plan didn't go far enough well there's been a lot of reaction on. the 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 in the research with a co-exist 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 keep president of the mobilization of police officers. is a terrible symbol of the police suffering she said he denounced this suffering to 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
9:22 pm

9:23 pm
physically according to official data more than one thousand mayors have resigned in front since the last local elections in twenty fourteen that number is fifty five percent higher than in the preceding four years we heard from the director of the french will mayors association he said a start to cuts in government targets have made it difficult for local officials to do their jobs. as with the french government is trying to limit the powers of authorities in regions departments and this is a process that's been going on for a long time and it's made life difficult for local officials present martin is pursuing a policy of austerity in regard to local authorities he says he's not cutting funding for local securities funding has never been this is a toughening of standard which is local officials struggle to carry out. the main task of rural areas now is to receive new arrivals because rural france is becoming
9:24 pm
more popular than that there have never been so many people moving out of villages so it's important to maintain a dialogue with the french government officials in more room for maneuver so this is vital if you want to improve internet access health care education and expand employment in the broader economy we need to tackle these problems and the country will not develop if the government continues to hinder our efforts. angela merkel has received a mixed reaction from the european parliament of the coming out in favor of a single. pulse of the chamber. the german chancellor. then it's wrong for dion because some years ago already set that a common european on you would show the wild that will never again be living in europe i'm not saying anything against nato feel smart we can be a good sector that tomato thank

9:27 pm
popular support but in order to get something like this off the ground you have to do a lot of preparation for it and you've got to be ready to take on the americans you know sort of a goal that the americans were bound to react very negatively and i you know he hadn't really done the groundwork also obviously he gave up because he really wasn't that serious about it it's just you know neither he nor muckle nor anyone in europe has the stomach to confront the americans on this issue and the americans know this and from those this so you know it wasn't it was entirely predictable that mcgraw would give up immediately you can find more details on a story severance haughty to a call i'll have your headlines in just a five thirty minutes time.
9:28 pm
when else truths seem wrong. but all groups just don't call. me all the things yet to seep out these days to come after. and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. pranking gave americans a lot of job opportunities i needed to come up here to make some money i could make twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year truck so i chose to drive truck people rush to a small town in north dakota was an unemployment rate of zero percent like gold rush is very very similar to a gold rush but this beautiful story ended with pollution and devastation a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here in the slowdown so
9:29 pm
much they lost their jobs that laid off the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. and it's a tough reality to deal with. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line and they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to try to be close it's like them before three of them or ten people that i'm interested in always in the waters of our. city. greetings and salutation. as the world embraces automation online living rapidly
