good morning thanks for joining us here on r.t. international. across border onslaughts between guards in israel is escalating palestinian missiles reported to have penetrated this rails security shield and claimed to have hit a residential building in television over night. unverified video there reportedly showing blast as the city's suburbs are hit by rockets israel's defense forces say one and a half 1000 rockets of so far been launched by the militants. warned of worse to come. the attack comes in response to wednesday's airstrikes by israel which is said to have killed scene you commanders and destroyed

a multi-story building in gaza. 2 bombs fell on the building which housed media offices israel said it gave advance warning of the strike it is reports suggest $67.00 people have been killed in gaza and 7 in israel. and chaotic images are coming in from across the 2 warring sides for instance the israeli city of lord is a mixed arab and jewish city a curfew is currently in place there but the local mayor is like in the situation on the streets to a civil war. 2 . that. was.

so disturbing images emerging from the israeli city of arab driver was assaulted by a mob hussein crashing into another car in the time to flee and has them pulled from the vehicle and beaten by reuters reporting from the city is on his fall asleep. in the israeli town of packed young which is just to the south of jaffa and outside tel aviv she was young students have gathered here and they are smashing cars that presumably they think belong to arabs there's also an arab owned i spin shop down the road and the glass has all been destroyed b. i and settings in front of the building they've come here with israeli flags to show their support and this is imitation to the finance we've witnessed in the last

few days which has been predominantly arab and jewish violence so don't be so the police are firing stun grenades and trying. the police firing stun grenades and they trying to get people to run away from here and. you can see the security officers coming down the road and they are trying to push the crowd further and further away from here and a lot of the youngsters have moved down the road over the they have finally coming to try and deal to sell. to ation and bring order and come back to back to. yes. your movies the moment you know the arab driver wanted to drive into us he pressed the pedal to the metal and wanted to kill us luckily he couldn't do it because another car stopped him because otherwise he would have killed us this is

our country and they come to kill us in our own country arabs who live here want to kill us no small children died in the streets because of the arabs now we've come here and the army and police are against us. we can't continue like this and it's not good what the jews are doing and not good what the are observed doing the government is not doing anything so this is what is happening each side is doing what they want for 70 years we've been good neighbors it's a really big pity that this is happening now we have to make sure the things remain good between us. tensions high they've been also shouting at the journalists and checking which channels we all belong to so we're going to make our way out of here it's not the safest place to be. r.t. . leaders from both sides have traded accusations these really prime minister benjamin netanyahu called the soaring violence. so in the violence is intolerable

from the side of the palestinian authority president said israeli aggression and the occupation of palestinian lands had crossed every line a corresponding process to turn lotty arabic reports from gaza just to warn you you may find some of these images coming up disturbing. but even in his worst nightmares barak couldn't have imagined that he would lose his family in one of the israeli rocket strikes on gaza grief will accompany him all his life the spectacle of the last goodbye has become part of the memory aggravated by pain al-sharif a hospital is a frequent witness to the grief of families of the victims who leave from here on their final journey. the rockets attacks multiple injuries were sustained to different parts of the body wounding the head stomach and limbs more than half of the injuries to this extent because victims to become totally disabled omar hamaha the al yacoobi is a palestinian her house was partially destroyed and became uninhabitable she thanks

god that she managed to leave it before the rocket attack with her children the youngest of whom is 2 months old but instead on acutely were told to leave the has quickly we ran down the street all the time i was afraid of losing my children the youngest was in my arms and i looked around with the others where one was screaming other one was also screaming israeli raids destroyed multi-story buildings and workplaces used by investigative journalists the tower bridge. in gaza has a symbolic meaning it houses many local arab and foreign media as in any war the images and the narrative arc gunpoint palestinians believe that tell of evil wants the world to see and hear only their version of events. on that board although the tower is a hub for many media and research institutions it is now only suitable for demolition the deliberate destruction of media offices including our fear will not stifle the

truth and silence the palestinians the occupiers are well aware that the palestinian version of events exposes the israeli version and their crimes so they are trying to drown out in height the palestinians but. palestinian journalists continue their work and their mission to expose the crimes of the occupiers both here in gaza and in jerusalem and even in the west bank this is war and its brutality is seen by gaza not only in the raids but also in the ruins of houses and buildings which will remain a visible reminder for years to come. here in oslo and the roof of us i'm in london a former member of the israeli parliament who served as a senior advisor to a previous president shared with his their thoughts on the escalating situation all of this force this has been used is because a red line has been passed shooting so many rockets into civilian population

concentrations is. despicable i heard they are something that absolutely no country or force in shooting would have anything to do with agreed to in any possible way and israel has had the south settlements really the people living there at been in israel proper by the way on our side of the border alongside the gaza border living in absolute trauma for years children have been truly traumatized and we the sirens and the rockets and this is not something new this is not sustainable it cannot go on and by the way my heart goes out to the gazan population as well they have been. inhumanely used as human shields by the hamas the hamas is shooting rockets from civilian populations not

from the outskirts of gaza but from within he had and that is something that the international arena should we take it to chad and examined because the suit is a tragedy if it had offices in that. i think that this is not make these buildings a target so israel is targeting civilian structures and that is illegal also let's not forget that gaza is one of the most densely populated places in the world and that also is a result of israel's closure not allowing people to to leave. and if there. i don't think it's possible possibly to have hamas in an area where there wasn't some kind of civilian nearby it is a densely populated area this does not in any way lessen the obligation of israel to take care of where they're striking because it cannot launch indiscriminate

strikes knowing that there are lots of civilians in the area it could also not target civilian structures as they have been doing u.s. president joe biden has spoken in support of israel saying it has a right to defend itself after a telephone call with the israeli pm it comes as palestinian solidarity rallies of being held around the world including in the u.s. and new york in particular. scuffles with israeli supporters and several arrests tonight. i. hope. on

wednesday the u.n. security council hold a closed door emergency session on the situation between israel and palestine but the participants failed to reach united response with reports claiming that america is stalling on a draft with israel calling out its long term ally for a lack of support. because for restraints and for calm israel has the right to defend itself and to respond to rocket attacks the palestinian people also have the right to safety and security just as israelis do it is impossible to put in the same message statements by israeli leaders who call for calm alongside instigates is and terrorist organizations to launch missiles and rockets by the ministration. has a distance with the for the netanyahu and and israel generally because of the approach toward the palestinians even though they have

a they they are the united states is committed to israel's. basic security we have netanyahu was on the precipice of loot loot of league of losing his position as prime minister and this is really an opportune time for him now to to retain power when you think about it because even though lapid one of the can't one of the other people was asked to form a new government. that's been suspended as well. and as a consequence netanyahu remains in power and you cannot help but think that all of this was contrived in order for netanyahu to retain power otherwise he would have been on the way out. the victims of a school shooting in the russian city of cazan were buried on wednesday 7 students and 2 teaches were killed in the massacre well then 20 other people were injured

most of them children 8 have since been airlifted to moscow of a specialist treatment some are said to be in a critical condition on monday an armed man opened fire the local school in cars on the 19 year old appeared in court for a pretrial hearing on wednesday. elna as gallup we have pleaded guilty and he will remain in custody even the court said the suspect showed no sign of emotion during proceedings. and he's done you hawkins has been speaking to some of those who were caught up in the tragic events. shock pain grief on the faces of all those who came to pay their condolences the images of children jumping from windows of floors covered in blood shock the world hearing the accounts firsthand was worse well 1st of all we came to school as usual heavy thing was fine when the class began the teacher called me to the blackboard and just a few minutes later we had several explosions but no one was concerned and the

class continued only some time later we had the school director telling us to meet it to close everything and leave the room where we didn't hear what everyone was deeply shocked we owe our lives to our math teacher who saved us she ran to the door and locked it she was holding it very firmly alina and still seem in a state of shock and they were among the lucky ones for them the nightmare is over though nobody can say just how long the mental scars will remain for others the nightmare has just begun. its race to the school when he 1st heard news of the attack hoping he would see his sister evacuated to safety and bring her home she was too late. coming out of there which is the doors of the room where my sister was together with her classmates weren't locked so the attacker broke into the room and shot the students her name was and mine is old fart that's because

our parents wanted our names to sound similar she studied in a forum which she was 15 she was a very resolute girl she had big plans for the future to finish the 9th form and get an education and i teach. zal thought nose on the day school staff did all they could to protect the pupils risking and some losing their own lives in the process he would be the only one asking questions though could more have been done to prevent this tragedy and how could it be stopped from happening again. we should probably strengthen the school security as now we have mainly elder people working there also we should organize drills like the ones for fire safety and explain to children where they should go and hide if such tragedies happen. the bloodbath in school 175 how to clear a villain but also some on likely heroes the son of the local imaam escaped the

killer who broke right into his classroom only to run back into danger to rescue his injured younger brother who thankfully survived despite being badly hurt. after we were taken out of the school to safety i went to search for my classmates the ones who managed to survive when i found them i went to search for my younger brother when i failed to find him i searched for his class teacher and then together we put my brother in an ambulance and the teacher sent me with him to there were 4 people with me in the ambulance one was my classmate who jumped out of the window on the 3rd floor to escape that nightmare the other was my brother who had his chest injured also there was a boy with his lip badly hurt by a glass fragment and one girl was sitting there with her hand almost torn apart. everyone i spoke to had one question why how is such cold merciless cruelty possible towards anyone let alone children. was confident but good prevails over

evil and that because from the nightmare stronger. this tragedy has united everyone regardless of their ethnic origin or religious belief people from other cities are coming to mourn with us we must stand together in order not to witness such events in the future he invites us to evening prayers out the mosque today and tomorrow or holy days for muslims eed or breaking the fast understandably though the focus of today is on one of the darkest days in total stands modern history. outside crowds continue to turn up an endless stream and aside from the pain on this day of mourning determination is also present not to let evil break the city's spirit which today has shown its strength daniel hawkins r.t.

. france continues to wrestle with the issue of the muslim fail the president micron's own party refused to support the candidacy of a woman who appeared in a campaign poster wearing the face covering details. the muslim veil has been drawn back into the fray here in fronts now my party has gotten itself wrapped up in a controversy that it's a rush to over one of its candidates in the local elections in a move that some see is being done with a belt it's bald a muslim woman from running on one of its tickets why because in this campaign flight she's committed apparently the ultimate heresy. a hit job. the values of the on the move party are not compatible with the ostentatious wear

in the religious signs on an election campaign document either these candidates change their photo or the party will withdraw its support this is a view that being echoed by several prominent government figures from this report political parties stand for separation of religious and political issues when you are elected you represent everyone and you do not need to show things that are really to private to me. would you not wish to present a candidate with against christians religious symbol it's a political choice the road has a reopened place a divide within poti with not all supporting the leadership's views on this matter. rather than making the decision inside the party the discussion went to social networks lumping together separatism and the veil which we denounce this is a serious political mistake i disagree with my political party when you have a young female engineer volunteers who joins a party to promote progressive values whether she's veiled or not she has

a place with us it's an explosive subject political islam is a reality it is a simmering threat in some neighborhoods and we have to be very firm french law doesn't prohibit someone who's wearing a hijab or indeed any other religious symbol from appearing in a campaign flyer this isn't by my party is purely political what it really shows is just how sensitive issues around islam have become here particularly ahead of next year's presidential election for many this is another clear example of how much calling his party have moved towards the right some have described this latest move as discrimination so what people here in paris think it's a form of discrimination and yes france is a secular country. because i think it's a form of discrimination everyone has the right to introduce themselves regardless

of their religion no matter their origins and stuff like that when we go abroad we have to do what they require our face out of respect for the way things are done in such countries. she's a french origin i do not see why she would not have the right to be a candidate in the elections whether it is a french person or a foreigner everyone in the world has the right to be able to present themselves plans by fronts that could also see the banning of young girls wearing a hit job in public spaces have recently triggered international outrage all social media the hash tag hands off white he job say that would single out france's minority muslim population while amnesty international said the proposed idea was a serious attack on rights and freedoms whichever way you look at this this raul * has put my corns party in a pretty difficult and tricky position charlotte even ski otty paris.

official figures show corona virus has claimed the lives of more than 3000000 people around the world but a recent study by the american institute for health metrics and evaluation of the university of washington claims actual figures are double what the research assessed figures across the world and claimed in america for example the true number of deaths is more than 900000 way above the half a 1000000 currently recorded the findings came so many deaths go unreported as most countries only register those that occur in hospitals or of patients with a confirmed fraction spokesperson for the w.h.o. told us it would always be difficult to get exact figures. from the start we've been aware that indeed not all cases of cohered and certainly not all deaths from covert would be picked up in the early stages testing wasn't widespread and also when you get very low breaks as we've seen in the americas in europe and now in

south asia 80 india you are testing services are overwhelmed and when we begin to see something like 3040 percent test positive for tb we know that a lot of cases out being missed and likewise people who die particularly people who die at home or people who may have died in nursing homes and so it may not necessarily be included in the numbers considered at the fatality count so they're not the final numbers really won't be fully known until we've done very very deep analyses after this outbreak meanwhile the shortage of vaccine still remains a key problem the global vaccine sharing initiative known as kovacs has failed to deliver the promised amount of shots to the world's poorest countries that's been blamed on vaccine nationalism and insufficient production capacity the spokes person again says although countries are now starting to share the stalled since having little impact. indeed because many of the doses were have been taken up by

the rich countries that what if i got to. of 50 percent of the world's population have probably had a vaccine but the bulk of them are in the high end up in middle income income countries they've received 83 percent of the world's facts scenes and off the lower middle income countries where they've just received 17 percent world sex scenes we've been working very much with many of those countries for the coast xscape to ensure that they did get allocation now we are facing a critical shortage of doses and many countries are now stepping up to share what they have but indeed it is a race to get those doses to the different countries because you have to get it all back with more top stories in just under 30 minutes of does either.
