israeli border police patrolled the streets of lords enforcing a state of emergency aimed at curbing a surge in violence of singles the country despite the curfew demonstrators sporadically clashed with the police and a police vehicle was set on fire on. the palestinian territories as well unrest the spilled on to the streets israeli security forces responded with stun grenades and tear gas to disperse crowds 7 palestinians said to have been arrested. and so some disturbing images of the most from the israeli city of backyard and our driver was assaulted by a mobster who seen being beaten after reportedly being pulled from his vehicle after trying to flee mostly his innocence of course. in the israeli town of pat young which is just to the south of jaffa and outside tel aviv to be showing students have gathered here and they are smashing cars that presumably they think belong to arabs there's also an arab owned ice cream shop down the road and the

glass has all been destroyed b. i'm fittings in front of the building they've come you know 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 on jewish violence so the so the police are firing stun grenades and trying. to police having stun grenades and they trying to get people to run away from here at am and you can see the security officer coming down the road. they are trying to push the crowd further and further away from here and a lot of the youngsters have moved down the road of it they have finally come in to try and deal with the situation and bring order and calm back to back to yum. yes. they're moving on it 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. so that we can continue like this and it's not good what the jews are doing not good what they 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 being good neighbors it's a really big pity that this is happening now we have to make sure the things remain good between us. this con here was being driven by an arab men they took him out of the car and in an attempted lynch he has been taken to hospital in the same happened over here. the same happened over here with this car down the road here

and now that attentively and share 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. . this really president to local and religious leaders along with citizens do everything to stop the violence. do all you can to stop this terrible thing that's happening before our eyes we're dealing with a civil war between us without any reason please stop this madness. the 2 sides have been trading missile fastens monday in the latest events palestinian rockets are reported to have penetrated israel's iron dome security shield and claim to hit a residential building in a television suburb overnight it comes a response to wednesday's airstrikes by israel that killed senior commanders and destroyed a multi-story building in gaza. the

other unverified video reportedly shows the city's suburbs being hit by rockets israel's defense forces say one and a half 1000 missiles so far been lost by the militants a bus earlier warned of worse to come. now pictures showing a tower hits by an israeli airstrike a partially collapsing palestinian authority president said israeli aggression and the occupation of palestinian lands have crossed every line correspondent from our sister channel r.t. arabic sent this report 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 pain i'll sheaffer hospital is a frequent witness to the grief of families of the victims who leave from here on

their final journey. the rocket 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 hour 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. we were told to leave the house 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 where 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 i'll just wara 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. but 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. human rights lawyer who are the other half

and ruth of usman land a former member of the israeli parliament who served as senior advisor to a previous president they shared their thoughts on the escalating situation. all of this is false this is the news is because a red line has been passed shooting so many rockets into civilian population concentrations is chichi despicable crime murder are something that absolutely no country are forced into doing would have anything to do with agree to any possible way and israel has had the south settlements really the people living there been in israel proper by the way on our side of the border up alongside the gaza border living in absolute trauma for years children have been truly traumatized with 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 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 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 at all and if there

if 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. geishas 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. palestinian solidarity rallies are being held around the world including in the u.s. new york in particular on lead to scuffles with israeli supporters and several arrests were made. you can.

one say the u.n. security council hold a closed door emergency session on the situation however no united for spawn's was reached with reports claiming the u.s. had blocked a draft president biden later said israel has the right to defend itself in the phone call with the israeli pm welcome to new delhi been calling for calm from both sides saying everyone has a right to safety words that and rage this round. the call for restraint 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 isn't possible 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 they're trying to show in a lukewarm way support for israel although as you know the by the administration doesn't agree with israel's approach toward the palestinians particularly on the issue of settlements and that doesn't really want to get involved in the fray biden really does not have control over netanyahu. like the trumpet ministration so there was a bond there between what right or wrong there was a barn and and and trouble really could control. netanyahu to a point and and of course the argument would. be that netanyahu manipulate trump that was part of the deal but you never head. between the palestinians. and israel during the trumpet ministration and that is because the trumpet

administration took a far different approach. the victims of a school shooting in the russian city of cars were buried on wednesday 7 students and 2 teachers were killed in the massacre and 20 other people were injured most of them children 8 of since been airlifted to moscow for specialist treatment some are said to be in critical condition on monday and our man opened fire at the local school of design a 19 year old suspect appeared in court for a pretrial hearing on wednesday now known as gala via pleaded guilty he will remain in custody people in the courtroom said the suspect showed no sign of emotion during proceedings. on the stand 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 shocked the world hearing the accounts

firsthand was worse than the 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. which 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 . 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. 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 sold for you and mine is old fought that's because our parents wanted our names to sound similar she studied in the 8th form but 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 teamed. nose on the day school stuff that only could to protect the pupils risking it 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 was such cold merciless cruelty possible towards anyone let alone children. was confident but good prevails over evil and that khazan will emerge 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 our holy days for muslims. all 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 spirit which today has shown its strength daniel hawkins r.t. on. the issues around muslim veils once again highlighting deep divisions not only in french society but in president micron's ruling party too and souter refused to support the candidacy of a woman who appeared in a campaign poster wearing the face covering the details. the muslim veil has been drawn back into the fray here in france now merkel's own party has gotten itself wrapped up in a controversy that has a rapid over one of its candidates in the local elections in a move that some see is being dealt it's aboard

a muslim woman from running on one of its tickets why because in this campaign flight she is committed apparently the ultimate heresy. a hit job the values of the republic called the move party 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 being echoed point several prominent government figures from its 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 too private to me. we do not wish to present a candidate with a conspiracists religious symbol it's a political choice the right now though has a reopened base a divide within. party with not all supporting the leaderships varies 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 movers 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 like hide 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 hit job in public spaces have recently triggered international outrage on social media the hash tag hands off while he job say that would single out

around the world but a recent study by the american institute for health metrics and evaluation at the university of washington claims the actual figures are double that research assess the districts from across the globe and claim that in the us for example the true number of deaths is actually more than 900000 way above the half 1000000 company recorded the findings claim so many deaths go unreported as most countries only register those that occur in hospitals or of patients with a confirmed infection a spokesperson for the w.h.o. told us it would always be difficult to get exact numbers. from the start we've been aware that indeed not all cases of cohered and sadly no 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 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 the fatality count so. the final numbers really won't be fully known until we've done very very deep analyses after this outbreak. you know all 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 wills poorest countries has been blamed on vaccine nationalism and insufficient production capacity and chose spokesperson again this is a low countries are now starting to share their stocks it is having little impact. indeed because many of the doses were have been taken up by the rich countries that have a good. of 50 percent of the world's population have probably had
