9:05 am
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 i am says 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 come in to try and deal with the situation and bring order and calm back to back to yum. yes. what is your movies read on it in our street the 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 one . to kill us no small children died in the streets because of the arabs now we've
9:06 am
come here and the army and police are against us here show 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 that he has been taken to hospital in 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
9:07 am
be. arty. well the city of battle that we heard about there is not the only city no violent riots in the israeli city of broad makes arab and jewish area the mare it's like in the situation on the streets there to a civil war. that was i hear you. i was ready border police from forcing the state from the agency in law to her and they need it kirby a surge in violence that has engulfed the country despite the curfew demonstrators did sporadically cash with police and a vehicle was set on fire now unless a spilled on to the streets in palestinian territories to security forces responded
9:08 am
with stun grenades and tear gas to disperse crowds 7 palestinians a said to have been arrested by the israeli president has a local and religious leaders along with citizens to do everything they can 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 these pictures to show is how broken garza being hit by an israeli airstrike and partially collapsing the palestinian authority president said israeli aggression and the occupation of palestinian lands have crossed every line a local journalist sent us this report from gaza. here is the tower. which was completely destroyed by the israeli army by the israeli warplanes yesterday and today is the 1st day of the great celebration and the territory after
9:09 am
the end of ramadan the streets are almost empty and the people are just inspecting the damages that have been inflicted by the israeli warplanes or strikes this is actually a very sad scene to see here in their email neighborhood of gaza city one cannot describe what's going on here and that to retore as is really were planes continued to attack different parts of the palestinian gaza strip the latest of which was the strike against the 3 branches of one main one bank will choke which is called the national the palestinian national bank that is supposed to be to belong to gaza there strikes are continuing in the gaza strip and in several and intensely and and actually no one can predict when this the cease fire is reached as there are
9:10 am
international efforts to contain that explore the volatile situation and the region in both sides of the region only that be the people of gaza just told was that these these things will come to an end soon and that they can rejoice that people can rejoice with their for their families as most a majority of the people stayed indoors in this very special day of their aid and only the little numbers of the population of the locals managed to a pray at them or 6 very limited numbers of people prayed at the most in the airlie and the morning old leaves some with children in front of their houses. it's a liberating there where no cars in the streets no vehicles no movement in the streets of gaza because of the urgency of the situation so that is the situation for the moment and. no one can predict so far
9:11 am
when this will come to an end. we spoke to a human rights lawyer how wide out if about the escalating situation there and also we're through fast and one day a former member of the israeli parliament who served as a senior advisor to a previous president. all of this is false is the news is because of a red line has cost shooting so many rockets into civilian population concentrations chichi despicable on her dog something that absolutely no country or forcing tooting 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 way on our side of the border up alongside the gaza border living in absolute trauma for years children have been truly
9:12 am
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 in my car close 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 an exam 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
9:13 am
a result of israel's closure not allowing people to to leave. and if beth. 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. a ship of israel to take care of where there is straight going because it can not lodge indiscriminate strikes knowing that there are lots of civilians in the area it could also not terribly civilians structures as they have been doing for. president putin has described the school shooting in the russian city of his than as a bar barbaric crime adding that control over arms sales needs to be more strict with 7 students and 2 teachers were killed and more than 20 others were injured most of them children have since been airlifted to moscow for specialist treatment and some are said to be in a critical condition on wednesday 19 year old in

people around the world however a recent study by the american institute for health metrics and evaluation at the university of washington does claim to be actual death toll could be done. that figure the research assessed statistics throughout the world and claim 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 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 though 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 coakley 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
9:24 am
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 of the global vaccine sharing initiative known as kovacs has failed to deliver the promised amount of shots to the world's poorest countries and that has been blamed on vaccine nationalism and into fission production capacity the w.h.o. spokes person again says that although countries are now starting to share their stocks is having little impact. indeed because many of the doses were have been
9:25 am
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 higher up middle income income countries they've received 83 percent of the world's vaccines and of the lower middle income countries where they've just received 17 percent of world sex scenes we've been working very much with many of those countries through the kovac scheme 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. relatives of civilians killed by british soldiers in northern ireland during the troubles in 1971 condemned the u.k. government's plan to prevent the prosecution of former soldiers involved in the disputed killings with more on the story his cape partridge on tuesday
