continues to spiral out of control with hamas and the i.d.f. exchanging more than a 1000 rockets for a 2nd day in a row of 5 israelis and at least 43 palestinians have been killed since the cross border flare up again.

well at the moment there are several hot spots in the conflict well he we can see them out coming up for you now you've got gaza of course you've got jerusalem tel aviv and load of the last the last day here has been the focus of some of the fiercest fighting ultimately leading the israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu to declare a state of emergency in this city now in this makes arab and jewish town 3 synagogues and numerous shops and cars were reported to be torched as intense rioting by the arab community broke out of the understand some residents reported power was cut to their homes and even though petrol bombs were thrown through windows the local like in the situation to that of a civil war this is the 1st time emergency powers have been used against the arab community in israel since well the end of the military administration in 1966 now only on a wednesday morning a rocket fell in load killing a man and

a child. well as we understand are riots have also gripped the city of jerusalem now for a 5th day in a row this is the worst unrest the city has seen for years and the confrontation between palestinians and israeli police 1st began over restricted access to wait. he holy site during the month of ramadan as well as the possible fiction of palestinians from their homes in east jerusalem more than a 1000 palestinians have been injured in the past few days in east jerusalem well in the meantime house has fired hundreds of rockets towards tel aviv and its suburbs leaving at least one person dead according to israeli media reports now israel in retaliation has continued to pound the gaza strip with missile strikes targeting police and of security installations as well let's cross live now to that part of the world where it's all getting very violent right now artie's producer. and middle east correspondent paula joining us here paula 1st to you paula is

actually in a suburb of television clearly paula a very tense situation for you right now can you bring us up to speed what's the latest where you are. well i'm here in the israeli neighborhood of give it a try and where at the moment things are quiet but certainly this is one of the areas essentially it's all that was hit by rockets overnight judicially hearing song the israeli defense forces that some $1000.00 doctors are looking fired at israel and it says that those rockets capable have landed in the scheme of the country now the israeli army says that it has responded with some 500 retaliate the strikes and see if it has intelligence information that it is acting on and that it is specifically targeting what is the most terror sites and by this it means the luck of the launching pads particularly sites that belong to have nots which is the body that rules dos it blames him us for being timed these rocket strikes but the fact is that most of the people who are being killed and injured in gaza os of

indians the israelis say that this is because hamas is using its rocket launching sites on the in the civilian population that they would seem to be being used as human shields but what we are hearing from the palestinian health ministry is that 42 people have been killed and amongst them 12 palestinian children hundreds have been injured. and we still have a choice as to how those of those i was with my brothers and there was an israeli bomb i think it was or 200 shells when i saw the horrible scene of my brothers lying around i couldn't take it it was like a massacre so many people were coming to see what happened and there were no ambulances were medical aid to the scene went to sleep confirms i've been i'm shocked i come believe it our children were playing in front of our house peacefully they were hit by a bomb after we heard it we rushed outside to find the children lying on the ground please stop killing our kids for god's sake what would they do if it was this

children good enough is enough they've done enough to us we're not resistance fighters or militia we're not killing anybody we're peaceful citizens standing in for. on to their houses peaceful people who did not carry guns knives or weapons were they doing this to us. my kids were killed both of them were very young one was 11 and the other was 7 years old playing in me they were playing only 30 meters away from me my nephews were playing with them too and a young guy called mad who was getting married in a few days they were playing and i was calling them they were looking at me when suddenly i saw a missile landed right in the middle of them got my heart is broken i lost my heart along with my children god help me. now signs have been sounding since the early hours of this morning particularly in the order community so goes all the israeli communities on the border with gaza and people there all being evacuated at the same time here in st louis well over night they were

a number of rockets and also into the early hours of this morning at about 3 o'clock local time they will walk it's that will sayat some gaza which it was fought in to install this here now most of the people in these areas have spent the night in bomb shelters many of them up choosing to leave their homes and move at the poles because they're hoping that that will give them some distance and some spite some the rockets one of those the launches that landed in the same sort of israel last night i went to the city or lawn now it's not far from where i'm standing right now there one of the rockets had hit a bus which i am again give a tie and be. into 61 of the rockets and it exploded causing fragments to fall onto a house not far from care and several people they were injured in hold on you had the rockets exploding into us we visited the scene chalky off the ways people were in shock it was shattered glass everywhere take a look. over room i'm just outside the israeli city of tel aviv in

a town called hold on where a short time ago a rocket landed and as you can see there is glass on the floor and there is a bit of destruction the whole area has been closed all 5 the israeli police now 3 people were injured at this location including a 5 year old child it was part of a barrage of some 130 rockets fired by him us and it says it was in retaliation for israeli airstrikes so you can see here the glass has shattered on and number of businesses that line this road now this is exactly where the bulk of the rocket landed. now israeli arab cities are also up in flames there has been rioting and confrontations particularly in cities where there is an arab and jewish population and one of those cities it's a city of love not fossils yet it has a population of around 50 percent jewish and the same as it the israeli army has

moved in they've dictated the city a state of emergency and it comes as some jewish residents actually needed to be evacuated out and the presence of the israeli soldiers while the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has said that hamas will pay a deal price for this is certainly while at the moment i speak to you things are calm and life seems seemingly normal behind me there is a sense of tension in the air and people here on expecting the situation to escalate all right well paula you are in a suburb of tel aviv however is in the heart of tel aviv as you know open to you what's happened where you are soaking in the past 1224 hours it has been as you said an hour ago pretty terrifying. well here in celebrative we've experienced 2 rounds of rocket fire from gaza our into the territory it all happened on.

tuesday night and you know they 1st got fire and i'm sorry the 1st that is that hamas that started firing on monday of the by when a barrage of rockets and all in all as well as they are there were around 1000 rockets flying from gaza into the israeli territory so 1st. they. used the some students on the border with gaza like ashkelon ashdod there or they came under fire i don't use deny it was celebrated and benjamin netanyahu a few us response but so did hamas take a listen. i must serve a judge hamas and the islamic jihad have paid and will pay a very heavy price for their aggression because if israel wants to escalate we are ready for it and if it wants to stop we are also ready if they want to release their grip over jerusalem we are ready. i have

a special at it it's called red alert and it shows you which cities are being targeted at the moment and imagine that a rocket is being fired from gaza into the israeli territory every 2 to 3 minutes so it's all over the place it's all over the country when i ask are you and i have worked together for years here in moscow but i know now for the past couple of years you've been living there in israel can you give us a kind of a personal perspective what was it like for you personally over the past 2436 hours . he was the 1st time for me and i was out in the city. when the siren went off and i can't tell you the sound of these terrifying and overwhelming and what you've got to do there is there is a certain protocol you have to follow in these and incidents you have to get to be near a shelter in 90 seconds and they say you shouldn't brush you know because most injure

is happen if people rush run they stumble and that's how they get injured so you need to proceed quickly but calmly and. i would actually dragged him to the shelter quite a passer by and. to tell you the truth there have shelters all over the city so my bill then has to you one is downstairs one is up stairs and almost every apartment has a shelter room so what does it look like there is it it's a normal room bedroom it has a iron curtain on the window so when the attack happens when the sarin goes off you roll down those are in code and then you close a metal door which is super have a you know like a spade and then completely sealed off. for me it was terrifying but a great then if you can say there is such a thing as

a great side show such as such circumstances is the feel and that she will try to be as friendly and as the porters as they can so i stand around that in minutes in the shelter because the attacks were on and on and on so they were like. last night on tuesday people were very friendly they were kind of trying to. you know keep you company asked how you doing how you feel and they distributed water and just just trying to be they have for you in case you are . all the you had to. stay with us dime for a person like me. then there was a 2nd attack at around 3 am. we were at whole. bedrooms last shelter broke and what we did is just close the window close the door and that's it still today as you can see it's

a beautiful day people go around the business as normally as they can but schools have been canceled children stayed home and people try to cheer as close to home and to shelters as they can because this is imminent this is still an open internet attack coming. as you say it's a beautiful day where you are now in the heart of tel aviv but clearly a very tense evening and a tense past 2436 i was a producer i see a pack of analyses a senior correspondent in the region polish with both of you thank you very much. well the founder and leader of the palestinian national initiative mostafa about who he has been talking about the escalating situation in the latest episode of going on the ground. no the root problem which solves the evils which will solve all the problems and still of this is coalition would be that is the. issue and i'll boast used loosely in their own independent state that would problems that

bind us in $63.00 it's just tools folly is either is or will allow us to have a stooge of our own and then at the state solution as the world speaks or we should be allowed to live in one state was full democratic rights thought oh you were votes you have to choose you know one solution or another but one thing they should know and the world is that we as close to new people will never accept to be slaves of occupation and updates live in my opinion the world has to stand up to its possibilities and stab suit was their only interest is now as you cannot be in punitive to international and israel cannot be allowed to be above international law it has to be a count of the local it is the other currency. it has a day of mourning in the russian republic of tatarstan as in his capital cousin of all the people there coming to terms with a horrific mass shooting at a local school and 9 people were killed most of them children while more than 20

others were injured the site of the tragedy has become a makeshift memorial with thousands of locals commemorating voted last year as a timeline of how the shocking events unfolded. let's look for the club kenya i was in the hood bangs that sounded like explosions 1st because the classroom doors and not let the children get near the windows we told them to sit down along the walls and try to calm them down to leave us on the street a man with a gun ran into the classroom and started shooting people who didn't shelter anything but before he did this heard an explosion right on to our classroom after that our teacher told us to hide under the desks.

for the family didn't feel like this you know if. you. can. get caught. up with my uniform or your life. you know not only did i look good i know but what is the you.

just see from the liberal political news when you were a sampling says emergency crews and fire trucks are at the site late so i sort. teacher covered in blood getting pulled out of school and about 4 children being carried away. but i guess there has been following the tragic events in cars on the reports now on the day of mourning currently being observed in the city which of course is still in a state of shock well as you would expect the city's heart has been shattered the days may be a day of mourning but it lasted throughout the night as tens of thousands literally

tens of thousands of people flocked to these small makeshift memorials. burying them with flowers with toys and memory of those who had died yesterday in the horrific attack yesterday long before that long long before that top 7 pupils as well as 2 teachers and the others are still in hospital several of them in here if you condition i mean if you read the list of injuries you can understand what sort of nightmare took place in this school yesterday as a 9 year old for example with multiple gunshot wounds shotgun wounds to the chest who lost 3 liters of blood is fighting for his life one of the us as well as others who have gunshot wounds to their backs to their legs broken hips. tropical cuts to the face and neck as they pandemonium and chaos and panic as they jump from windows down 3 stories to get away from the kids to get away from the shooting there's all sorts of videos online showing shouldn't hunkered down behind desks the teachers

stand god next to barricade the door with admissions shouting into the loudspeaker system for people to get in to cover the teachers to clues those not who put them for anyone we have frantic calls to parents you have parents all over the city literally sprinting running along streets the schools because messages that there may be attacks in other schools to safeguard their kids to get them out of classes to make sure. it was a scene of absolute chaos here in yesterday and things only calmed down towards towards the evening when the suspect was apprehended in authorities calm people down urging them to remain calm that everything is under control. obviously the people here many of them have kids many of them had kids yesterday in school so they were worried they were concerned they were in theory in terror of what what happened what could happen you know that will the messages with right of those who are still fighting for their lives in hospital and again for those who lost their

lives in the tragic attack that took place yesterday. i have 2 kids myself 2 sons what can i feel now i feel awful i came here from the other side of town just so i could see this place so i could place into one flower that they're going to finish with when i had the news and burst into tears have 2 children one of them is a school boy and when i imagine what the children from the gymnasium went through i feel very bad. for you on the destruction of the neighborhood is quite calm we did not expect to have very surprised that we had such an attack we can say that we are in shock i was at work what people obviously want now these odds is about how this was allowed to happen why no red flags were raised but a 19 year old boy with a shotgun how he was given a valid a real license how he possible the psychiatric tests the drug tests the medical evaluation the background check as this person was able to buy 350 reportedly 350

rounds of ammunition play shotgun without raising any red flags this is a person who lives in the middle of a city why this person you know is described as intelligent calm quiet without without any sort of red flags what pushed him to carry out this this inhuman act. and what authorities are going to do about it you know 3 years ago i reported from get for another school shooting took the lives of unfortunately many more children and people thought that lessons had been learned security had been established by law at schools all over the country and yet there are gaps gaps in security here they're already huge shortcomings in the security at the school as well as perhaps what people suspect shortcomings in the work of law enforcement agents nevertheless it is early to jump to conclusions the investigation has only begun that people here want to. or the shooting suspect has been identified as

a 19 year old it was a former student of the school where the attack happened the perpetrator used a pump action shotgun for which he actually had a license for now after c.c.t.v. footage emerged online it turns out the suspect was brazenly carrying the gun all the way to school that we can show you the route he reportedly took from his house as a journey basically the why you can see over here it took roughly 10 minutes for him to walk all the way carrying a big gun in his hand however questions remain as to why no passers by called the police to alert them that there was someone walking down the road carrying a huge pump action shotgun now it's one of a number of issues the incident has raised including what might have led the suspect to carry out such an attack in the 1st place and those who knew him said it went totally against his character because we met this boy before he's our neighbor and i remember his face i noticed that he had a very intelligent appearance he was

a very tidy i've never seen him heading out with any dubious people he was a good boy and was always so quiet he also helped me in the past with the tassel language i don't know why he became like this i don't know what happened to him but they have a very good and well mannered family i only had a good at binions of him. the russian human rights commission has now proposed raising the age for owning a firearms license from 18 to 21 in light of the tragedy because and we debated the broader issues surrounding gun control mental health and the targeting of schools. bulling we know at least in the research that i conducted is the leading cause of gun violence and also bullying revanche retaliation and side effects of psychotropic medications have been found to be the predominant causes of violence and i think one of the most important thing is that we need to do as counselors as

educators ask parents as administrator is we really have to work to intentionally create a very safe school climate working together collaboratively with parents with teachers with administrators to really identify those students who may be withdrawn who may be why if you may have struggled the recent loss who may be a victim of bullying who may be struggling academically or they have behavioral issues and the more that people can come together and identify the work that we can be proactive rather than reactive and really reach out to and connect with the struggling students that we can provide them with resources and support that they need and hopefully then prevent violence from occurring what was it that motivated the individual copycat attack possibly but only if the individual was following what was going on or reading about it and everything else most copycat attacks tend to happen within the days weeks and months after

a major incident so it's the police all of the movie trying to do the got the individual secure it work on what his motivation was behind carrying out the attack and then trying to identify if there's any way that they could have put mechanisms in place or could still put mechanisms in place to transport those motivations more guns you have in a society the more likely you are to have these kind of incidents and of course we've got an awful lot of people with mental illness of one form or not though they have extreme views and if you give these people guns you've got to expect at some stage that these are going to go wrong so you know. less guns in society the safer we all are it isn't a secret that you go on the internet and find out what to do and how to do it and this is a this is a problem for all societies and that's why i say before the less guns you have the less likely codes that the sort of incident took place because of course we have an awful lot of people a with mental illness but also a lot of radicalized and teachers as well who might want to go out in

a what they see as a blaze of glory. austria has strongly rejected a plea for other e.u. countries to take an migrants from italy it follows a surge of our rivals to the small island of lampedusa and more than 2000 mostly african migrants have reached the r. then off italy's southern coast overwhelming the reception center the local mayor explained how they are trying to deal with the situation. it's too much especially because there are quarantine ships and they cannot the docking ports because of the wind bad weather and rough sea there are many difficulties already and if the ships cannot take migrants in quarantine it becomes even more difficult because our islands cannot accommodate more than 250 people and there are already over a 1000 however we are working to ease the pressure both as a ride on his transferring my goods from the port to take them to a corn scene ship. producer is one of the main landing points for people trying to

get into europe from africa the latest arrivals are supposed to be transferred to somewhere else in italy however there is a lack of unity among members on who will then take the refugees from their land produces may again says there is no help at all right now from brussels. and is into zoom immigration's of brussels is perceived differently to how we experience it in italy until now brussels has only been interested in refugees not economic migrants whenever we talk to brussels they don't want to hear about economic migrants but at least 90 percent of the people arriving on our shores just economic migrants so how is it possible to solve the problem if we do not look at immigration globally the problem of immigration has never been properly addressed neither by the italian government nor by the european government so now there is this sort of ruthless campaign against immigration there is no program no project no idea how to solve it everyone is wrong with the italian government and the e.u. as a whole. it's fascinating to a busy day for your worldwide headlines here on r.t.

international we are back at the top of the hour hope you can join us. lintel . live.
