salaries are miserable people are starting to understand what is really going on. one minute past 8 in the evening here in moscow this monday me. you're very welcome to the news hour on r.t. . the palestinian armed groups fired at least 7 rockets into israel in the past number of hours after its deadline passed for us really forces to withdraw from the mosque in jerusalem israel has responded with her strikes and health ministry says 9 people have been killed including 3 children and it follows 3 days of violent clashes in jerusalem let's go live now to our middle east correspondent paula in this city paula a deadly escalation over the past number of hours tick. through what happened and

what led to it. yes in the last 2 hours things that he have escalated to keep her confirmation from the israeli army that they did carry out its strikes over the gaza strip off to several rockets were fired from gaza and israel exactly 2 hours ago now that was 6 o'clock local time when a how to mate and that had been given by have asked for israeli security forces to be out of this area of arab east jerusalem near the compound had expired of course the soldiers are still here as is the police the border police a strong israeli security presence so at exactly the moment that that hymn us out to me to me expired there was sirens that winchell here in jerusalem now that is unusual it's not often that you have silence in jerusalem be it's ready parliament the knesset what's immediately evacuated and at the same time there was that used in the march taking place now this is an annual event that sees tens of thousands of particularly young students waving israeli flags and marching through the

streets of jerusalem to celebrate the reunification of jerusalem off to the 1967 war by israel so those marches ran for cover that where i am in eastern we saw them people came out of the shops people came onto the streets and people were cheering at the same time the security forces here scouted moving forward we had scenes of water cannons operating we had police on horseback we had purchased a sewing stones and walks in the police responding with stun grenades so a lot of what we have seen over the last 4 days because this is the whole day that we are witnessing this kind of violence now at the same time the united nations security council has been holding a meeting behind closed doors it comes as international condemnation against israel is rising we've heard from amnesty international saying to quote that these raids are using excessive use of force and at the same time we've heard some uni safe saying that in the last week days 43. tell

a story in children who have been injured. stop violations and occupied east jerusalem amnesties been on the ground and witnessed israeli forces use of excessive force against protesters and bystanders israel must and use of unlawful force and forced evictions of palestinians the international community must hold israel accountable and additional 14 palestinian children injured in jerusalem's old city today bring in total to $43.00 children in past 3 days unicef urges israeli authorities to refrain from using violence against children. now right now things are a little bit quiet as you can see behind me and this is because people are breaking today's fast for ramadan we are expecting that in the next confound hour things could flare up again there is still a strong security presence here although the streets are largely empty of palestinians the people have been coming to pray throughout the course of the day and today this morning there were clashes last we saw something like 300

palestinians injured some of them australian hospital 16 years later police injured one of them is still in hospital now these were the prime minister benjamin netanyahu who is struggling or husband struggling to fill his own government has been quite forceful that he's not going to allow these elements to just to loosen up. we will not allow any extremists to destabilize the calm in jerusalem we will enforce law and order decisively and responsibly we will continue to maintain freedom of worship for all faiths but we will not allow violent disturbances in the same way i'm telling terror groups israel will respond forcefully against all acts of aggression from the gaza strip. there are signs that the violence is spreading not only the rocket attacks that we saw today in the israeli response in terms of is strikes but there it has been clashes at different account of he's across the west bank the israeli army has seen 2 in falseness to the west bank we've also seen

protests erupting in northern israel in the israeli town of haifa just a reminder that this is the worst violence that israel has witnessed in the last 4 years so certainly tensions are high and all focus is here on jerusalem because what happens in jerusalem has a with a ration and it could be saved and what happens elsewhere in israel and in the palestinian territories qualifies for about artie's polis lior lawyer in jerusalem with the very latest there. let's continue this story and speak live on the program to mustapha barghouti director of the palestinian health development information and policy institute you're very welcome to the program just on one of those. latest lines coming in to us mr ghassan health ministry is saying 9 people have been killed in the israeli are strikes including tragically 3 children can i put it

to you how must must have expected some like this to happen when it fired rockets into israel. haslett not fredricka. except when i started $333.00 produced a newsletter into to do an ox and. these were civilians not civilians back viciously but there isn't any and there's a new tools. among don't work 1st very few of them have lost that i have 4 of them out in good good condition. because of constant as a very good actor it's that continuing for the last the one to do so i do spend a significant amount 600 we don't want anybody that day but it made in my view that so far only produced in its half day 9 of them as you mentioned including 3 children who go there and there are more than $350.00 by the students and there was . violence but it's violence and of course we don't want violence but at the same

thing we have to remember that the core problem here is the continuation of is an ending occupation but it's the new man would show has been going on for 5040 years as a loon as the system with social discrimination on top of the load that has been poured in addition to illegally and it seems it was that which is that both vision and the national. and in other words there's a terrorist is conducting a war crimes against humanity and it has to be the sponsible for these crimes i'd like to get your response to the i.d.f. spokesperson who dies ilham and who is now saying quote everything is on the table including a possible ground operation and targeted killings of militant leaders. that won't be the 1st time since 2000 as they conducted the study. which took the lives of thousands in this. problem and

another the british would not do the problem would only be of course to go with palestinians and israelis the only way it will end the suffering is to stop the base and but it is there not the only thing palestinian protesters can do as well camping out poll back from what they've been doing on temple mind mix shift weapons hurling rocks if that happened that might deescalate that make things out a very tender box situation right now. unfortunately work you so this is a bit misleading because all palestinians have been pranked with creating in them but there's been violence was not there would not respond to this isn't it that's. not. what the reason those are the only. people. who after these are the people from reaching them was. going to contact

we want you for the jewish and muslim person to practice that we were israelis is that the different us that i'm having that today and that is the basis of this addition to the system which is a system. as you move out of the musicians have been. given israeli human rights i'm going to have been seeing it. right but you've also got some movement on the other side haven't you got jerusalem day celebrations called off we seem to be appear at least could be attempting to deescalate would it not make sense for the palestinian side to do so as well. they did not. march they did it only because they had the rockets and they were. the people and the match was going on how massive this was how council the police and they should have prevented. this spring.

the ones. paying us we are not the ones who have the power to practice. this. i must accept israel's right to exist does it. how much will this solution. and that's what we should but this does not want us to allow does not once allow us to have. a different state ok. it's. ok it's efficient and racism and that's unacceptable to us. let me just talk about . let me just talk about the political situation just to get your thoughts. here we've got a political stalemate in israel don't we after yet another inconclusive election do you think the lack of a stable government has really made matters as bad as they could possibly get here . i think the problem lies in the 5 i was sitting in the office of the

prime minister is like use the 4 pieces of corruption and the problem and he keeps insisting. because he doesn't want to give up. the problem into another is this just. so that you believe that some fascist like. fascism wearing it we have to cut back i'm sorry. you know i think. this is ok we know we can't we can't say that on the program though. and that's what i. missed off of thank you very much for your time and your thoughts then the stuff of barghouti director of the palestinian health development information and policy institute. ok moving the program on our european leaders have dismissed the u.s.

proposal to waive payton rights to covert faxing splits over the move arose during an e.u. summit at the weekend german chancellor angela merkel was among those opposed to washington's idea. for me for me questioning patient protection here is not the path to lead us to more vaccines and that's of vaccines have made it clear that i do not believe that the waving of peyton's is the solution to make that available to more people this was an idea mooted by the by i didn't ministration last week they said you know what we can do is we can waiver the peyton's oku vaccines which will allow the vaccine production to be ramped up in other countries because the portuguese who hadn't created ducks back scene would then be able to produce it it's an idea that the world health organization has welcomed but generally is welcoming this to all but could germany be left out on its own in the cold over this issue taking the opposite side to this was france's president michael who

suggested that the idea of wavering vaccine peyton's could be a good idea opiate he flip flopped on this quite a few times of the weekend so he's hinted to be determined where he will land on this particular issue he seemed to be incensed infuriated when he was pressed a press conference by journalists as with a europe should be following the us is a leader on this and he basically said us follow them i think you'll find it's the opposite way. i ask you the european press and almost psychological question when a year ago we europeans lost access to tools accelerates and you didn't say to you europeans have moral leadership and the u.s. isn't following you when the us follows us which is in fact what is happening you say are the us is showing leadership emanuel mako on though had his own criticism specifically for the u.s. when it comes to the export ban on covert vaccines and on essential ingredients

needed by european produces to make the vaccine here drop them is what he demanded . i call it very clearly on the. united states to win the export bans not only on vaccines but on components of those vaccines that are necessary for production we've killed back today saying it can produce a vaccine in europe because components a block from the united states lift the export ban. just about this into context has exported around 200000000 doses of vaccine is around the world at the same time the white house is pretty much put a blanket ban on any could get vaccines to leaving its shores and that comes at a time when this seems to be this growing frustration this tension in the e.u. over the idea that basically the party didn't administration is now pushing forward its own agenda as if it's the one we needing to charge all the way through the code that health crisis and some might be questioning whether in the future when this is

all over the story that will be painted is that this is a. covert war that america won glossing over what's really happens. when it comes to relations with russia the e.u. seems to be sending out mixed signals slovakia's foreign minister says it's time for cooperation with moscow to be fixed but the czech prime minister has suggested all member states should be expelling at least one russian diplomat earlier my colleagues knew harvey and saskia taylor talk through the situation. if you're trying to understand policy towards russia in recent days good luck because for a block his premise is unity and cooperation but some real splintering here on monday foreign minister came out in the senshi said that brussels needs to stop pushing ties with russia to an irreparable brink we're certainly in a difficult phase of our relationship with russia between slovak and russia but

also collectively between the european union and russia we need to stop the negative spiral of our relationship now germany supports the sentiment says it's time to mend fences with russia so there's one camp that's looking to reap rebuild news that the kremlin welcomes but on the other hand another camp has emerged and it's is the czech republic weeks off to prague out of the blue and without any evidence accused russian agents of being behind an explosion at a weapons stop in 2014 and expelled russian diplomats as punishment it's now asking all the e.u. nations to jump on its bandwagon and also kick out some russian officials on top of that it's also apparently going to demand financial compensation from moscow for that explosion to the tune of $39000000.00 euros now whether the whole block will take a sledgehammer to its ties with russia and fulfill progs wishes is pretty unlikely partly because the whole explosion story is so far from watertight 1st off it was

a case that ran cold for 7 years and suddenly it was resurrected from the dead the 2nd thing is that the investigation is still ongoing but already the blame has been laid at the kremlin still strip but the most bizarre thing is that the czech president himself came out and said he see nothing but would suggest russian responsibility and that this anti russia hysteria has to stop this is the czech president himself why would he want to undermine his own country for that statement he was actually accused of treason so like i said good luck trying to get to the bottom. what it what what is that the e.u. wants from russia is it dialogue or is it a deterioration of ties of individual states understandably i think at times looking after their individual interest but of course they're all part of this union has there been any kind of unifying message to come out of brussels well i think 1st off we need to talk about what russia's position is because russia has made it very clear from the beginning that it's always open to dialogue but when prague expelled the russian diplomats when talk of sanctions in march it did speak

out pretty strongly it said that this was all an effort for e.u. states to quote please that western leader now off the back of that regarding brussels and its statement i do want to listen to something that we heard from one of its representatives our relations with the u.s. is changing now we have a strong partnership this became especially clear after the g. 7 summit will discuss russia with which john the country relations are not improving what we just heard from raul is an incredibly strange statement because essentially the suggestion is that good relations with the u.s. are dependent on bad relations with russia and that kind of rhetoric does nothing to dispel rumors that a western leader is pushing e.u. russia ties to the cliff so like i said it's all really entangled infighting within the e.u. infighting within the czech republic and with prague diverging so much from its neighbors setting up its own campaign you have to ask is it doing it for itself or

is it doing it at someone else's behest. a new poll in front suggest 40 percent of nurses want to change their profession due to low pay and harsh working conditions we spoke to a trickle who says discontent among health workers has been building up for quite some time. you know when i read in the newspapers that 40 percent of nurses want to change their jobs i'm terrified they leave and want something else not because of the covert crisis is due to prostration has been building up over several decades and they have already expressed that by going out onto the streets and demonstrating that those protests were violently suppressed in france the police often opt for forceful repressive methods you saw what happened to the yellow vests and the demonstrations of medical personnel also brutally suppressed with john and special forces clearly in their powers so when the crisis hits employees who are

already tired and devastated by then demanded recognition of their work and a pay rise but it never happened it was like somebody poured ice cold water on them the french health care system which was ranked 3rd or 5th best in the world has turned out to be a fiction medical personnel are exhausted salaries are miserable and people are starting to understand what is really going on. in major discontent some pretty eye opening numbers here as well according to the poll 51 percent of nurses see no prospect of career development nearly 2 thirds consider their job thankless and more than 92 percent believe the all going health crisis shows that the role nurses play needs to be refuted the issue of salary concern to more than 75 percent of working nurses are less than the national average the issue caused widespread protests them all health workers last summer the government then promised to spend an additional 8000000000 euro to boost wages or trickle again sees the authorities

a failed medical workers. you want to do more priests we were called heroes during the 1st wave and now they are demanding that we do more than ever before and the directives that come from the government are a catastrophe bordering on criminal we have an invisible common enemy 19 and specialists from different fields of night to fight it and only the government failed to provide the medical staff with the necessary protective equipment and did not revise their working conditions i am simply horrified that the prime minister is talking on t.v. about some kind of victory they say we did not have to introduce another lockdown and this is a victory but let him explain that to those who've lost their relatives to be honest i don't understand what kind of victory we can talk about here people with. a topic that a lot of people want to speak about a former olympic weightlifter from new zealand claims female athletes are being

told to be quiet so over any issues they have about transgender people participating in women's competition whenever we have tried to speak out we've been told that we can't say that anything we to say but it seems to lately have been taken so that human rights courts so we've been distant carriage every step of the way even to this day it's still being told to be quiet and not talk about it laurel was overweight lestat before the transition so having transitioned in the thirty's that athlete would have still had the benefits outpaced ostrow for 30 years so there's no way of a woman making compete against a transgendered athlete who's had that been a sense of taste or strength or that long even with having to lower it the lowered amount as still male 18 times the amount the average female there's a reason why it ends what we do have male and female character and by allowing this

to happen it's. larry maligns let's just flesh out what's being talked about their issues were 1st raised when transgender athletes laurel hubbard was allowed to compete as a woman before transitioning in 2013 hubbard took part in men's weightlifting competitions later in 2015 she was permitted to take part in the olympics after the international olympic committee released rules for transgender athletes allowing them to compete as women here's what was actually decided to anyone who transitions from female to male is allowed to compete with all their meals without any restrictions but those who transition from male to female face certain conditions firstly their gender status has to be confirmed as female count of change for at least 4 years on their level of testosterone has to be below a certain limits the wycliffe do you heard from a moment ago tracy. thinks the rules need to evolve as the sport. needs to be

more research just. looking into the facts and making sure that everyone is on the same page whether or not the rules of stay here that's what needs to be discussed these roles were i think the balance in 2013 or 2018 when our 2021 so i feel like the ball should be evolving as a sport as and as. people of all because people are coming out now war transgendered and i think we just need to keep up with science why should i compete when i'm never going to be able to wear the that's what i'm up against and i think it bears seen sorta have women dropping out of sports which is not what we want we want to increase in women planes all. well let's keep the theme of sport going a protest has been held outside tokyo's national lympics the idiom against this summer's games which are due to be held in the city it's less than 3 months before

the event gets underway following last year's postponement shoot to the pandemic demonstrators marched around the stadium at the same time as a test event was being held inside with around 400 up and an online petition in japan calling for the olympics to be cancelled has already collected more than 200000 signatures since being launched and frightened it comes as japan just extended a state of emergency in tokyo 3 other areas on till at least the end of the month amid a huge surge in covert cases. a recent poll shows almost 60 percent of those quizzed on the games to be called on just over a 3rd think they should still go ahead and of those around a 5th think there should not be any spectators we asked people in the japanese capital on the street for their views. in my opinion this is because the lives and livelihoods of many people have been neglected for the sake of their

lympics of course the pandemic masses and fill their lympics the hours of sleep as the homeless people and the people in their apartment complexes they were evicted from here there are many problems like that happening i believe that their lympics must be stopped immediately and must be abolished. it's a celebration of nationalism edges criminate area and exclusionary event it's also a very near liberal ultra capitalist event where only a small percentage of people will benefit in order to make money and we will all be cut off that's why i am against such an event some activists outside the stadium there while others are up for an hour from the r. to news room but our programs are just beginning to stay close to find out what showing where you are today by phone or.

but if you will work for you to put up with a chance. to do good the idea for a brain tumor good for. us to keep it interesting. which 90 students that are saying no was listening because a lot of my think if you get. pleasure who fish not go for it the people who build them water should that is the deed to be sure that the sure small boat will respond to us with the she could. possible do what school to wants this issue will. go well for. the store to get to the beach. by itself much of what you mean you just put on persist. as they should but they could be when you get a. species in your she could just bits and pieces off what she has and it's just.

kind of financial survival job today with the money laundering 1st to visit this christmas and the 3 different. oh good this is a good start well we have our 3 banks all set up maybe something in europe something in america something overseas in the cayman islands or do all these banks are complicit in the kleptocracy you decide to give mccall it's a camera to do some serious mood hundreds ok let's see how we did while we've got home got a national dream watch for max and for stacy oh beautiful jewelry and how about. luxury on a bill again for a match you know what money really is highly illegal to be approached much because of course. well the demick know sydney melbourne is just blind to nationalities. as american targets are the we don't look like seeing the whole world needs to be.

judged as commentary crisis that is the system tends to. be better we should. everyone is contributing each of our own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenge is critical to response has been masked so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we're in it together. americans love buying homes. this was a fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country a large understood.
