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. but. leaders from both sides of traded accusations israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu called the soaring violence and the same violence is intolerable for many sides on the palestinian authority president said israeli aggression and the occupation of palestinian lands have crossed every line correspondent from our sister reports from gaza. 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 paying for 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 will cause 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 that 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 us where one was screaming other one was also screaming israeli raids to destroy multi-story buildings and workplaces used by investigative journalists the tower burj al joe was in gaza has a symbolic meaning it houses many local arab and foreign media as in any war the images and the narrative are at gunpoint palestinians believe that tell of evil

wants the world to see and hear only their version of events. although the tower is a hub for many media and research institutions it is now only suitable for demolition of the deliberate destruction of media offices including al quds 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. human rights lawyer who ate our founder

ruth us the mainland former member of the israeli parliament to serve the senior advisor to a previous president shared their thoughts on the escalating situation. all of this force has been used is because a red line has cost shooting so many rockets into civilian population concentrations is. despicable i heard there 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 meaning 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 true traumatized we've got the sirens and the rockets and this is not something new or this is not sustainable it cannot go on and by the way my heart

goes out to the gazan population as well they've 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 we've had and that is something that the international arena should we take to check and examine them because if each 2 is a tragedy if it had offices in that building that does 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 back also is a result of israel's closure not allowing people to to leave. and if it. 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 other. geisha of israel. to take care of where they're breaking because it cannot launch indiscriminate strikes knowing that there are lots of civilians in the area it could also not target civilians structures as they have been doing. meanwhile palestinian solidarity rallies are being held around the world including in the u.s. in new york in particular marches to scuffles with israeli supporters and several arrests were made.

on wednesday the u.n. security council held a closed door emergency session on the situation but no united response was reached reports claiming the u.s. blocked a draft president biden later said israel has the right to defend itself following a phone call with the israeli pm washington earlier been calling for calm from both sides saying everyone has a right to safety words that and raged israel. because for restraint and for calm israel has the right to defend itself and to respond to rocket attacks but 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 that launch missiles and rockets by the ministration. has

a distance with for them there and 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 that we have netanyahu who is 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 because were buried on wednesday 7 students and 2 teachers were killed in the massacre when 20 other people were injured most of them children have since been are lifted to moscow for specialist treatment of some said to be in critical condition monday an armed man opened fire at the local school in khazan a 19 year old suspect appeared in court for a pretrial hearing on wednesday in as vir have pleaded guilty and will remain in custody in the course of the suspect showed no signs of emotion. during proceedings . 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 here in the accounts 1st hand 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. 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. still seem in a state of shock and they were among the lucky ones for them the nightmare is over 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.

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 form which she was 15 when she was a very resolute girl she had big plans for the future to finish the 9th form and get an education in 19. 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 and 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 that 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 at the mosque today and tomorrow or holy days for muslims. 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 veil that's after president micron's own party refused to support candidacy of a woman who appeared in a campaign poster wearing the face covering details he shall do. the muslim veil has been drawn back into the fray here in fronts now merkel's own party has gotten itself wrapped up in a controversy that so rocketed over one of its candidates in the local elections in a move that some see is being the belt it's aboard a muslim woman from running on one of its tickets why because in this campaign flight she's committed apparently the ultimate heresy. to her job the values of the

republic called the move party is not compatible with the ostentatious wearing of religious signs on election campaign document he that these candidates change their face so all the party will withdraw its support this is a view that's being echoed by several prominent government figures from this report political parties stand for separation of religion 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 that i could be would you not wish to present a candidate with a conspicuous religious symbol it's a political choice the right now though has reopened place a divide within my party 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 is wearing a hijab or indeed any other religious symbol from appearing in a campaign flyer this isn't by man. 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 from whence they could also see the banning of young girls wearing a huge drop in public spaces have recently triggered international outrage on social media the hash tag hands off my he job said 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 sure but even ski all see paris. official figures show coronaviruses claimed the lives of more than 3000000000 people around the world but a recent study by the american institute for health metrics and evaluation so the university of washington claims actual figures are double but the research assessed . numbers around the world and climbed in the us for example the true number of deaths is more than 900000 well above the half a 1000000 currently recorded fundings claims so many disco reported as most countries only register those that occur in hospitals or patients with a confirmed infection a 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 outbreaks 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 are being missed and likewise people who die particularly people who die at home or people who may have died in nursing homes and so on may not necessarily be included in the numbers considered at the fatality count so. the final numbers really won't be fully known until we have done very very deep analyses after this outbreak here on the shortage of franks and still remains a key problem the global vaccine showing initiative called kovacs has failed to deliver the promised amount of shots to the world's poorest countries that's been blown up vaccine nationalism and insufficient production capacity to bring it to

a spokesperson again says all the countries are now starting to share their stance it is having little impact. indeed because many of the doses were have been taken up by the rich countries that what if i got. of 50 percent of the world's population has probably had a vaccine but the bulk of them in the high end up in middle income income countries they've received 83 percent of the world's fact scenes and all of 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 through the codes 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 that brings you out of study don't forget to check out more news stories on our website www dot com.

it's not all about. bad carbs good carbs bad it's much more complex not to depend on the run down not really what is good quality food what's a balanced diet and it's not about these 3 match. because food is actually 30000 chemicals. no one has ever cruised around the globe in an inflatable catamaran before. you go. i just use it but. it's such

welcome to the alex salmond's to from scotland now last week's elections across the u.k. threw up some interesting on contrast thing results in scotland people were so intense and wales labor one well and in england well almost all of england quarters johnson's tories made supriya now our guest on today show has a particular interest in the political success of boris johnson because he's written a book about the prime minister called the assault or untruth. as a former journalistic colleague peter oborne is in a strong position to explain the rise and rise of boris johnson and his apparent ability to write to any personal scandal to lecture think face how does peter oborne assess boris johnson's ability to walk on political water and i think you'll come out dry well with alex and peter to discuss preferable than your recent

book the assault on truth you've pointed out the relationship that johnson has worked but our city no just a few weeks after that damning indictment he is cock of the walk is master of all the surveys he's laid the labor party law in england what is going on. well 1st of all i think our next we have to say this is a very huge political achievement in angel and for the british prime minister i mean they were speaking in a moment when it really ought to be doing quite well as an incredibly batley. what is going on in terms of the truth the british people has made all the industry people one should say have made a really quite interesting decision and they have good reason to suppose that he's very sleazy in the sense that there's one inquiry after another and see his

personal misconduct thing done in st and as prime minister i know decided it doesn't matter and this is a new thing in british politics we haven't had it's my lifetime but it's not a simple explanation if you look at the results of the freemasons maté for wales nicholas starved and winning and scotland bala's does the winning and anyone isn't the public just commenting on the the handling of love the vaccination program in particular isn't this just a thank you to the 3 political leaders who have taken the country through the pandemic yes and he's not just the grand master nation there is in times of emotions international crisis like. there's a national does our people to look towards that that leaders and in the case of mr mr johnson he's considered sort of done well i don't think he did it so.
