stop the madness that's the play from the israeli president as chaos reigns on the streets cars are being torched and one arab driver is dragged from his vehicle and beaten he's now in critical condition but it all comes as the cross border onslaught between gaza and israel intensifies but the suburb of television reportedly paid overnight also this hour the funerals take place of the victims of a mass shooting at a school in the russian city is that it is medics continue to fight for the lives of those critically injured relatives of the victims have been speaking of their heart. her name was sold for she was 15 she was a very resolute girl she had big plans for the future.

good afternoon you're watching out international starts this hour some news just into garza the military wing of hamas has said it has launched a missile strike on the sudden israeli airport of around one international where flights from tel aviv had been diverted earlier the militants also stated today had fired dozens of rockets from the gaza strip at tel aviv and other cities in israel now all this does come as a cross border onslaught between gaza and israel continues to escalate with air raid sirens heard again in tel aviv within the last hour or so chaotic images coming in from across the 2 warring sides for instance the israeli city of lot is a mixed arab and jewish city a curfew is currently in place there but the local mayor has likened the situation

on the streets to a civil war. i. thought i. was you. i was i. was ready border police patrolled the streets of lord inforcing a state of emergency here aimed at curbing a surge in violence that has engulfed the country despite the curfew the demonstrators sporadically clashed with police and a police vehicle was set on fire and also in palestinian territories to unrest has spilled on to the streets israeli security forces responded with stun grenades and tear gas to disperse the crowds there 7 palestinians a said to have been arrested and some disturbing images have also emerged from the

israeli city of battle. are an arab driver was assaulted by mobs there he was seen being beaten after reportedly being pulled from his vehicle after trying to flee artie's porous layer is in the city. i'm in the israeli town of but young which is just to the south of jaffa and outside tell of if she was youngsters have gathered here and they are smashing cars that presumably they think belong to arabs there's also and ever owned i screenshot the down the road and the glass has all been destroyed b. ein fittings in front of the building they've come here with israeli flags to show their support and this is in the tiny ation to the finance we've witnessed in the last few days which has been predominantly arab on jewish violence so be such be police are firing stun grenades and trying. the police firing stun grenades and they trying to get people to run away from here

. you can see the security officers coming down the road trying to push the crowd further and further away from here and a lot of the youngsters have moved down the road over they have finally come in to try and deal with the situation and bring order and calm back to back to yum. yes i think that. 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 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 weeping good neighbors and it's a really big pity that this is happening now we have to make sure the things remain good between us. this cart here was being driven by an arab men they took him out of the car and in an attempted lynch that he has been taken to hospital and the same happened over here with all the sorrow 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. artsy. but he's really 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 eyes we're dealing with the civil war between us without any reason please stop this madness well the 2 sides have been trading missile fire since monday in the latest events palestinian rockets are reported to have penetrated israel's iron dome security shields and claim to have hit a residential building at a television suburb overnight the attack does come in response to the wednesday's airstrikes by israel which killed senior commanders and destroyed a multi-story building in gaza. unverified video here reportedly shows the city suburbs being hit by rockets israel's defense forces say one and a half hours the missiles have so far been launched by the militants while hamas early of warned of worse to come now these pictures headings show a tower block being hit yes strike and then 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 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 little clearing 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 our yacoobi is a palestinian her house was partially destroyed and became uninhabitable she thanks

god that should manage 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 where the others were 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 for. and 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 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 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. when we spoke to human rights lawyer out of the escalating situation and also with truth by some anon day a former member of these friday parliament who served as a senior advisor for a previous president. all of those forces been used is the cause of a red line has been passed shooting so many rockets into civilian population

concentrations is. despicable i heard there are something that absolutely no country of course into being a would have anything to do with agreed to in any possible way and israel has had the south settlements really the people living there in israel proper by the really on our side of the border 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 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 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 with him and that is something that the international arena should we take to check and examine because the 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 there is straight king because it cannot lodge

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 united states and new york in particular marches there led to scuffles with israel supporters and 7 arrests were made. i. think.

now wednesday the un security council did hold a closed door motions he said on the situation however no united response was reached with reports claiming that the u.s. blocked a draft president biden later said today that israel has the right to defend itself following a phone call with the israeli prime minister washington had earlier been calling for calm from both sides saying that everyone has a right to safety words that angered is right. because for the streets 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 that launch missiles and rockets they're trying to show in a lukewarm way support for israel although as you know be by the administration

doesn't agree with israel's approach toward the palestinians particularly on the issue of settlements and the 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 bonnet 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 outbreaks 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 is than were buried home wednesday 7 students and 2 teachers were killed in the massacre more than 20 other people were injured

most of them children 8 have since been airlifted to moscow for specialist treatment and some a said to be in a critical condition but on monday an armed man opened fire at the local school inc is an a 19 year old suspect paid in court for a pretrial hearing on wednesday in last california have pleaded guilty and will stay in custody people in the court said that the suspect showed no signs of emotion during the proceedings when artist and 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 shocked 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 me typically knows everything and leave the room. but 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 dos are 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 with their witches 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 and mine is still fun that's because our

parents wanted our names to sound similar she studied in the 8th form 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 t zal thought knows on the day school stuff that only could to protect the pupils risking on someone 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 can it be stopped from happening again of morning 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 unlikely 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 or holy days for muslims either future or breaking the fast understand 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 the term a nation is also present not to let evil break the city spirit which to day has

shown its strength daniel hawkins r.t. . the issues around muslim veils are once again highlighting deep divisions not just in french society but in present macron ruling party saying that after refused to support the candidacy of a woman who appeared in a campaign poster wearing a face covering more details his party's showed up in ski. the muslim veil has been drawn back into the fray here in fronts now maccollins own party has gotten itself wrapped up in a controversy that is a rapid over one of its candidates in the local elections in a move that some see is being the belt it's a board 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

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's 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 try to tell me that i could be a man who did not wish to present a candidate with a conspicuous religious symbol it's a political choice the right now though has a reopened base a divide within my party with not all supporting the leadership has been 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 not. unsporting 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 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 had our face out of respect for the way things are done in such countries. she is 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 huge drop in public spaces have recently triggered international outrage on social media the hash tag hands off why 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 my corns party in a pretty difficult and tricky position challenge even ski altie paris. now official figures to show that the coronavirus is climb the lives of more than 3000000 people around the world however a recent study by the american institute for health metrics and evaluation at the university of washington does climate the actual guy. toll could be double that figure of the research assessed a to 6 throughout the world including that in the us for example the true number of deaths is more than 900000 way above the half a 1000000 currently recorded the findings are going to 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 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 large outbreaks as we've seen in the americas in europe and in south asia india 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'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 amounts of shots to the world's poorest countries has been

blamed on vaccine nationalism and insufficient production capacity w.h.o. spokes person again says though although countries are now starting to share their stocks 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 53 percent of the world's population have probably had effects but the bulk of them in the high end up in middle income income countries they've received 83 percent of the world's feck 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 and that is your news wrapper

for this are you watching our national thanks for company don't forget always plenty of stories to what i website. it's not all about fat good fat bad carbs good carbs diet it's much more complex not just. john the stomach really. than stars and it's not about these 3 match. because food is actually 30000 chemicals. there are a. lot of time to make no sir you know borders are just flying to some of these i. was a little bit we took a back seat. the stick. thank you thank. you

judge. her this is so this is something. we should. everyone is contributing it's your own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges create the response has been masked so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together.

welcome to alex salmond's to from scotland now last week's elections across the u.k. threw up some interesting contrast thing results in scotland did i think people were so immense and wales labor one well and in england well almost all of england quarters johnson's tories the supremes now i guess on today show has a particular interest in the political fix say so boris johnson because he's written a book about the prime minister called the assault on truth as a former journalist colleague peter oborne is in a strong position to explain the rise and rise of borscht johnson has a patent ability to write to any personal scandal to actual success. how does people buy a safe body johnson's ability to walk on political warfare and i think i'll come right down well with alex and peter to discuss peter oborne than your recent book the assault on truth you've pointed out that the strained relationship that

johnson has with the acetate just a few weeks after that damning indictment is cock of the walk us 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 huge political achievement in angel. for the british prime minister i mean they were speeding at a moment when the early ought to be doing quite well as an incredibly bad actually . what is going on in some sort of the truth the british people has made all the english street will one should say have made a really quite interesting decision and they have a good reason to suppose that he's very sleazy in the sense that as one inquiry after another and see his personal misconduct in dining streets and as prime minister i noticed.
