we choose to look for common ground. to stop the madness that's the play from the israeli president as chaos reigns on the streets cars have been told someone our driver was dragged from his vehicle and beaten he's now in a critical condition but it all comes as the cross border onslaught between gaza and israel intensifies with a suburb of tel aviv reportedly kids overnight also to come this hour feels take place of the victims of a mass shooting at the school in the russian city of his medics continue to fight for the lives of those critically injured relatives of the victims have been speaking of their heart. her name was called figure she was 15 she was a very resolute girl she had big plans for the future. good

afternoon just gone 2 o'clock here in moscow you're watching r.t. international now across the border on short and israel is escalating with chaotic images coming in from across the 2 warring sides princeton's the israeli city of la is a mixed arab and jewish city a kid a few is currently in place there but the local mayor has likened the situation on the streets to a civil war. that was i could hear you i.

was. israeli border police patrolled the streets of north of here in force in a state of emergency aid that curbing a surge in violence to the country despite the curfew though demonstrators sporadically clashed with police and the police vehicle was set on fire and in palestinian territories as well unrest that spilled on to the streets israeli security forces responded to stun grenades and tear gas to disperse the crowds 7 palestinians are said to have been arrested and also some just a bit disturbing images to have emerged from the israeli city of bath and arab driver was the sole tid by mobs there he was seen being beaten after reportedly being pulled from his vehicle after trying to flee artie's course there is in the city. in the israeli town of that young which is just to the south of jaffa and

outside tel aviv should 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 out with israeli flags to show their support and this is imitation to the violence we've witnessed in the last few days which has been predominantly arab and jewish phyliss so b. so the police are firing stun grenades and trying. to police having stun grenades and they trying to get people to run away from he asks. you can see the security officers coming down the road today trying to push the crowd further and further away from here and a lot of the youngsters have moved down the road. they have finally come in to try and deal with the situation and bring order and come back to back to yum.

yet. 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 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 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. this card here was being driven by an arab men they took him out

of the car and in an attempted lynch but he has been taken to hospital in the same happened over here with. the same happened 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. arty. well he is ready to present as a local and religious leaders along with citizens to do everything to stop the violence. do all you can to stop this terrible thing that's happening before our ice we're dealing with the civil war between us without any reason please stop this madness the 2 sides have been trading missile fire since monday when the latest events a palestinian rockets are reported to have penetrated israel's iron dome security shield in claim to have hit a residential building in

a television suburb overnight the attack comes in response to wednesday's airstrikes by israel which killed senior commanders and destroyed a multi-story building in gaza. and rarefied video here reportedly shows the city suburbs being hit by rocket israel's defense forces say one and a half 1000 missiles have so far been launched by the militants by hamas earlier warned of worse to come these pictures to show a tower block being hit by a strike and partially collapsing the palestinian authority president said israeli aggression and the occupation of palestinian lands had crossed every line our 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 paying for hospital is a frequent witness to the grief of families of the victims who leave from here on their final journey little clearing the rockets attacks multiple injuries were sustained to different parts of the body wounding the head stomach and limbs more than half the injuries to this extent will cause victims to become totally disabled oh ma ma diao 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 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 with the other one was screaming other one was also screaming israeli raids destroy 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 are at gunpoint palestinians believe that tell of evil wants the world to see and hear only their version of events while on the board 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 al quds fear will not stifle the truth and silence the palestinians the occupier is a 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 the. 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. we spoke to human rights lawyer why the at f. about the escalating situation and also with ruth fasten landay she's a former member of the israeli parliament who served as a senior advisor to a previous president. all of this force this is the new it's because a red line has been passed shooting so many rockets into civilian population concentrations is. despicable on her there are something that absolutely no country are forced into doing 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 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 we the sirens and the rockets and this is not something you think of or this is not sustainable it cannot go on and by the way my heart goes out to the gazan population as well as 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 within him and that is something that the international arena should really take years to check and examined because if each suit is a tragedy if it had offices in that building 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 back also is a result of israel's closure not allowing people to to leave. and if 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 heretick civilian structures as they have been doing meanwhile palestinian solidarity rallies are being held around the world including in the u.s. and new york in particular arches there led to scuffles with israel supporters and

several arrests were masked. was. it. well on wednesday the u.n. security council held a closed storm urgency session on the situation however no united response was reached with reports claiming that the u.s. blocked a draft president biden later said that israel has the right to defend itself following a phone call with the israeli prime minister washington had only been calling for calm from both sides saying that everyone has

a right to safety words though that angered israel. 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 to try 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 it doesn't really want to get involved in the fray biden really does not have control over. there like the trumpet ministration there was a bond there between what right or wrong there was a bargain and trouble really could control. netanyahu to

a point and and of course the argument would be that netanyahu could manipulate trump and that that was part of the deal but you never had an outbreak between the palestinians and 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 than were buried on wednesday 7 students in 2 teachers were killed in the massacre more than 20 other people were injured most of them children have since been lifted lifted to moscow for specialist treatment and some a said to still be in a critical condition where on monday an armed man opened fire at the local school inca's than a 19 year old suspect paid in court for a pretrial hearing on wednesday known as if we have pleaded guilty and will stay in

custody people in the court said the suspect showed no signs of emotion during the proceedings. of his son hawkins has been speaking to some of those who got 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 media to close everything and leave the room. with what everyone was deeply shocked we owe our lives to our math teacher who saved us she ran to the door unlocked 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. communion 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 old for you 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 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. zal thought nose on the day school stuff did all

they could to protect the pupils risking on 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 let's go. after we were taken out of the school to safety i want 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 or holy days for muslims either futile 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 showed its strength daniel hawkins r.t. . now the issues around was unveiled to once again highlighting deep divisions not just in french society but also in president macron drooling party. refused to support the candidacy of a woman who had paid in a campaign poster wearing

a face covering with more details on the story his r.t. charlotte dubinsky. 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 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 flies she is committed apparently the ultimate heresy. to her 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 is being echoed point several prominent government figures from

a political party 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 that i could be would you not wish to present a candid with a conspiracist religious symbol it's a political choice the right now though has a reopened place a divide within my own party with not all supporting the leaderships 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. 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 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 just said that would single out france's minority muslim population while the international said the proposed idea was a serious attack on rights and freedoms whichever way you look at this this raul * has put macaroons party in a pretty difficult and tricky position charlotte even ski all see paris. official figures show the corona virus has claimed the lives of more than $3000000.00 people around the world however

a recent study by the american institute for health metrics and evaluation at university of washington does claim that the actual death toll. could be double that figure the research assessed a distinct throughout the world and claim that in the us or example the true number of deaths is more than 900000 way above the half a 1000000 currently recorded the findings going through 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 he would always be difficult to get exact figures from the start we've been aware that indeed not all cases of coke and certainly not all deaths from coke that would be picked up in the early stages testing wasn't widespread and also when you get very large 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 i may not necessarily be included in the numbers considered the fatality count so they know the final numbers really won't be fully known until we have done very very deep analyses after this outbreak and while the shortage of vaccine still remains a problem the global vaccine sharing initiative known as kovacs has failed to deliver the promised amounts of shots to the world's poorest countries and has been blamed on vaccine nationalism and insufficient production capacity the w.h.o. supposed person again told us although 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 would have a good. 53 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 vaccines and of the lower middle income countries with c. they've just received 17 percent of 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. relative to civilians killed by british soldiers in northern ireland in 1971 have condemned the u.k. government's plan to prevent the prosecution of former soldiers involved in the disputed killings with more on the story escape partridge on tuesday
