5:08 pm
a good place working there was nice and it was located in a neighborhood without any problems with security or violence. i am on some for the reaction we've been getting was from part base political analyst nicole america who believes the deadly incident highlights the refugee crisis unfolding in fronts because too early to see now what type of change was done when these refugees come out come into france what kind of check does france do have what did you get to see their background for these people coming from what are their beliefs or what are their motivations why are they coming here 'd and do they belong to any specific organizations i think this definition shows that france does not do that in any case it doesn't do it correctly and it's getting people in which shouldn't be here if you are going to let 20300000 people into your country illegally each year and i'm not even if you're talking about people coming illegally what is your plan are you going to help them integrate are you going to do you have jobs for them are you
5:09 pm

fighting had flared up recently in a number of regions in the area with the 2 sides accusing each other of launching attacks your sit down of reports now of how life has been affected for those living in the conflict zone. this place could very easily be mistaken for the front line of nagorno karabakh but it isn't it's a small sleepy village of. also commonly known as red bazaar and last night it was battered by a very fire standing in one of the craters left by the bombardment it's about 8 meters in diameter. it was about 7 o'clock i wanted to park the car in the yard because the bombs had been dropped there. the cast iron explodes and splinters everywhere with a radius up to a few 100 meters today for example my house wasn't damaged but our neighbor's windows were smashed someone's roof was broken we're already used to it. like

with the director of human rights watch in the region omar sheikh cure who israel deported last year in charges of supporting a boycott of the tourist. this is clearly being done as an effort to muzzle documentation and advocacy around israel systematic repression of palestinians and i should say it's not a one off issue i was deported myself after being more than 2 and a half years based on the ground as human rights watch is israel palestine director based on our work on the ground as well and it's part of a long standing trend and it's part of a sustained assault on the human rights movement while the us has historically always shielded israel from accountability and turned a blind eye to. this u.s. administration has taken it a step further and even giving the green light for these abuses to continue should come to no surprise that we see settlement activities at unprecedented levels historically and continued efforts to entrench this discriminatory reality.
