current president's health allows him to perform his duties. other very good morning and great to have you with us here on r.t. . israel says that it is amassing troops along the garza border and calling up 9000 reservists as fears grow of an imminent ground invasion of the hamas ruled gaza strip israeli troops though haven't entered the enclave yet but artillery tanks and infantry have been firing into the strip overnight. and i says that garza was hit by 150 s. strikes in just a matter of minutes and that would make it the largest round of strikes against gaza in this 4 day flare up so far since monday israel has bombed more than $650.00

targets in gaza destroying several high rise buildings in the densely populated palestinian enclave and i.d.f. said this strikes have killed dozens of militants including some top and us commanders. so this is unverified video of israel's intense bombardment of gaza israeli air force including drones helicopters and fighter jets have been striking the strip since monday after the militant palestinian group hamas began launching rockets into israel amass said that its actions were reprisal for the eviction of palestinians from the neighborhood of jerusalem also some disturbing images victims including children were seen pulled from the rubble in garza following airstrikes the hamas health ministry claims the number of palestinians killed in the strikes has now reached 10928 of them believed to be children. let's go live now to local journalists around me al mcgarvie joins us now rami good

morning to you you're in the guards are from what you've seen on the ground there what's the situation like at the moment. good morning to you the situation for the moment is increased toll among the gaza's population because of the intensity of the israeli strikes and tanks bomb going to different areas of the strip the latest from gaza is the killing go for a woman and her 3 children in the beit lahiya in the beit lahia area and north of the to richer e this full last night last night's intensive israeli strikes on the to rich rate in which a woman and the children were killed inside their homes. and number of families have been forced to leave their areas in the north of the to richard and take shelter in a few. schools you run schools in north of the gaza strip

that's what has been confirmed by and run officials in gaza actually the laws already is really strikes and tank shows on the to reiterate were the most intense and the most. very intensive since the since the violence has brought out to break in and guards are a few days ago and this has made many people just. very scared and very frightened inside their homes no place in gaza is being safe for the time being everyone is vulnerable to being harmed by the israeli fire that is being described by the international organizations including the international committee of the road across as being indiscriminate

and illegal to flash so because of the killing of the people the. for interiors of gaza have seen as really strikes on homes. in the north and east region in the south room parts of the gaza strip strip as you mentioned in your in your introduction you mentioned that israel has beefed up the beefed up of presence on the border lines it's reported that about $60000.00 troopers including reservists have been stationed on the border lines of gaza with israel in preparation for and to leave for a ground attack on the territory but this has not been yet confirmed by the israeli officials as israeli prime minister has a stated that israel would continue its attacks on the gaza strip this

in light of some international efforts for containing the current this speech of violence in the region and the palestinians are getting very concerned that the international parties are not intervening seriously and also the palestinians are concerned that the united states is not taking any action towards stopping this what this what what's going on as described and believed by their people to be massacres a growing must because being committed against the palestinian people reporting from inside garza that's local journalist rami al mcgorry thank you. thank you former pink floyd frontman and activist roger waters thinks the israeli

occupation of palestinian lands is untenable. unless some pressure is brought to bear upon the israeli government to stop the ferocious murderous attack upon on gaza they're not going to stop of their own accord their will is not going to suddenly disappear but clearly in the long term. these really up to patient of palestine is untenable it is not a future that compulsively survive public opinion is changing all over the world and they are not going to be allowed to get away with it by the by global civil society in my view i can you understand i have to give israel's point of view all not they say an israeli courts ruled thought prior to 948 and one was in jewish ones and if the hearts because of jordan it was taken away from them this is not an equal conflict this is not when we're talking about gaza which will

can a barrel full of fish in the israelis as shooting into it with hugely efficient weaponry and them and you talking to me about what some israeli spokesman is saying about what's going on in ghosts or and how that the next thing you'll be telling me is that rockets rained down on jerusalem or something it's equally nonsensical. story which they've been saying they've been saying the same thing over and over again a single state from the rivets of the say a proper democracy with equal rights all rights equal equal human rights for every single citizen all people citizens all the jews all the arabs all citizens of a single state from the rivets of the sea that would. that would have a chance a real real chance of working you know why because it speaks to the collective

management of our human affairs that we're all going to have to adopt if we're going to save this fragile planet from this from what we're seeing on our screens here the number of casualties has been rising daily since monday so far 109 palestinians have been killed in the conflict 7 israelis have also died including a soldier killed by an anti-tank missile and a 6 year old child it in a rocket attack we all have our says it has already fired 50 rockets into israel and the latest exchange of fire the well now the. air raid sirens rang out thursday throughout several cities warning people of incoming fire from gaza including in television where artie's paulus leo was with this report. the sirens are sounding here in tel aviv i've just woken up and i'm just going to walk through the apartment to go outside and see what's happening so

i'm just switching on the lights because it's about 1 o'clock in the morning and they're coming from that direction and there's usually a pause after the sirens and then an explosion as to where the rockets have landed this is not the direction one should be moving in actually most people are sleeping in sheltered rooms i wish i was sleeping in a state as shelter clean up until now because should be hunkering down but i just want to show you what it's like here when the rockets sound so if we go here. and you walk with me. you can also seeing the roads are completely quiet tel aviv is a busy city and only the roads are busy at this time there is absolutely no one or nothing on the streets now is the pause i told you about and then after a moment or so they should be an explosion and that will be the iron dome anti-missile defense system into sitting with the ruckus there it is there it is

it's quite far away so it doesn't seem as if the rocket landed in tel aviv it sounded a little bit off to that direction. but for this reason at least 5000000 israelis are hunkering down in bomb shelters tonight while that sounds a bit loud that's coming from there so that's quite close to where we are i really shouldn't be out right now i should make my way back to the shelter room where i was sleeping up until a minute ago policy r.t. tel aviv. well the israeli city of load has become a flashpoint of clashes this week it is one of the cities with a mixed arab and jewish population farnum was seen dumping down a synagogue which had been torched israeli security forces were also patrolling the streets tension is east compared to previous days but the situation remains fragile a local man earlier likened defense on the street to a civil war and i.d.f.

spokesperson told r.t. as her master triggered the violence and israel simply trying to protect its people . say that not under siege it's all it's all it's a security blockade you have nothing no interest in this really think about it not a holy place a tiny place we want to live in peace but in the street the risk from us it target is ation we fear. brotherhood and they disagree to have israel highly only jewish state. and from time to time they launch mainly sites on the neighboring sakal mains and now it's a escalation about the ground forces we have to consider it because you have to seen what will be next if you ask me i don't think that we really see it israeli troops in gaza i think that our else forces are trying to do the best not to harm

the population but to harm the spoke. but let you know they hung must use the population is human shields but i i want to say something about the country is ok. i saw international t.v. always try to look like a wall or 'd basketball to me is just 7 casualties in israel and 84 in the palestinians and i think it's not fair ok because these really it's us trying to will take the sea billions in every house to behave new house we have a show like in my house we try to pick really and they deliberately. endangered. questions about president biden's health or

once again stoking fierce debate in america that's after $124.00 retired military officers signed an open letter where they called out the current state of affairs in the country and questioned the president's fitness to rule but their words angered other military servicemen and of course the democrats so ask you taylor explains you watch the news so you know joe biden's the best we see with president biden he's demonstrated to the country what a difference. the change of presidents has made president biden is confronting this enormous loss directly and publicly help americans heal on any front that something good show biden is uniquely qualified to do as a joe biden giving america a message tonight that and one i think that only this president president could give not the former one the thing is apparently the mainstream media doesn't speak for everyone sucking so what bones does this letter have to pick with the current

us administration well quite a few ranging from joe being too buddy buddy with beijing to killing off thousands of jobs and along with a big percentage of americans thinking that the ongoing border crisis is biden's fault. open borders jeopardize national security by increasing human trafficking drug cartels terrorist entry illegals are flooding our country we must reestablish border controls and continue building the wall and while the white house won't call it a crisis 10 times more migrants record last month at the border compared to a year ago border patrol says it's a crisis and people in texas are teaching their children to shoot here just in case but totally not a crisis though at least wool oh yeah didn't you hear by to the man who said there were not been of the fruits of wool constructed on my administration is a surprise constructing ok not a wool but

a barrier which apparently is very different but while biden's building back better on the border the letter claims that freedom of speech is crumbling down censoring speech and expression distorting speech spreading dissent from ation by government officials private entities and the media is a method to suppress the free flow of information a tyrannical technique used in closed societies which is strange because he promised to be a president for all americans want americans except subscribers to paula anyone who's up to red cap or donald trump that banned and given all these mixed messages coming from the white house the letter and asking the question is biden up to the job. the mental and physical condition of the commander in chief cannot be ignored he must be able to quickly make accurate national security decisions involving life and limb anywhere day or night now one simple video can prove that joe's not

sleeping at all. but that the one star group of democrats who spied him to think about giving others the authority to launch a nuclear attack not exactly a vote of confidence in the commander in chief so as you can see a fiery laughs with some serious allegations that have got people a bit angry that was way you bors and i was expecting some of it is very antidemocratic they are absolutely violating the norm to be a political they're being used for partisan purposes they're going against their constitutional oath all very good points very very good point that was not raised last year when almost 500 national security need has decided to publicly

dump truck the current president has demonstrated he's not equal to the enormous responsibilities of his office he cannot rise to meet challenges large or small let me guess that was different isn't it always in a country like america has a leader who clearly has some sort of cognitive decline who is not equal to independently leader and to make these kinds of difficult decisions or to lead the country in that way just objects alone can cause great instability in the global arena and global either one of the biggest problems we have is the mainstream media outlets in the united states who have not only there are no longer journalists there's no journalistic integrity within mainstream large media outlets in america and some of their. lies and progeny they have now become an arm of the democratic party and this is quite literally the definition of propaganda when you only praise

a leader and when everything he does is rated when you want to hand out cookies to his press secretary and when the questions are why is joe ball as joe biden such a great person i mean this is absolutely ridiculous in any legitimate person that watches how these stories are spent can see how ridiculous this is that it is completely 100 percent propaganda it's not only but a double standard it's completely destabilizing to the united states the news is covering something up because our american mainstream media outlets are propaganda arm for joe biden and the democrats when the news cover something up people are going to have to make up what that is and so they're going to come up with what are they trying to cover up they might make it much worse than it is or maybe better than it is and that will cause so much more instability so many more risks and that's that's what's dangerous dangerous to the citizens of this country it's dangerous to people throughout the world because of the role the united states has played in the world you're watching on international more news coming your way after this break.

he was in stitches lot of democracy in the country. so country that just found any new policy it's a country that's failing today. has created being founded long into joost both domestically and abroad this well. you've got the end of the spanish empire the end of the british empire the end of the roman empire and you have some similarities and differences but the 3 cities traffic we talk about the rise of one nation in this case china and the fall of the

ruling at the time this case the united states we've got all those kinds of things happening right now the people who are least informed about this are the americans themselves because the cable news network of mars the corporate news it's not in their interest to actually prepare people for this they're just considered to be expendable. welcome back a british army veteran has taken his own life after attending the funerals of 9 of his comrades killed in iraq. 34 year old father of 2 lance had been suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder since leaving the army in 2008 and mental state have been strained since attending funerals of each of his fallen comrades who've been killed in action in iraq he was found collapsed in his home in february of this year and despite being taken to hospital died

a short time later his widow holy god showed what happened here was a huge that's the army and it's popular because quite clear a few years after he left the army. and he was diagnosed back in 2012. well when he was diagnosed it was certain it wasn't a break you know. it all writes it out should be none of our streets really even when i was a remembrance i. put it completely $40.00 that's when it was really really bad r.c. actually up massive so far this go as far as he went to the end that chassis went to combat straps and not one passenger in any open i was actually not up can't you help that he's our according to the campaign group veterans united against suicide to 67 former servicemen took their own lives last year in the last 2 decades they were almost 300 suicides among serving personnel during this period the u.k.

had been involved in several conflicts including in iraq afghanistan and syria really got the going thinks the veterans just aren't getting the support they need . why these veterans are treated for me these boys and girls who go into fight frank control and that combat these horrific memories that none of us will ever you know not comprehend not what happened there but you know they're literally being thrown aside would that be taught that the too complex there's no one that can deal with veterans and to me that's not good enough i have to sit 2 children down child and that is dad because he wasn't helped. and you know in years to come that's going to be a difficult conversation to have of my children but you know not that he could have been saved if it wasn't for the organizations out there how completely filed him. many restaurants in the united states are struggling to hire enough stuff despite

hiking polaroids to attract more applicants critics claim generous unemployment benefits aimed at helping people through the pandemic are leaving many reluctant to go work or the other give it's been rejected by the white house. how does the white house know that people are just choosing not to for just because you are an employee benefits are so we don't see much evidence that the extra unemployment insurance is a major driver in people not rejoining the workforce as covert restrictions will ease than more people vaccinated the u.s. or 266000 people find new jobs in april but that was way off the mark of what economists predicted they were expecting around a 1000000 to find work a shortfall of about 75 percent and it meant that there was little impact to the unemployment rate some governors are encouraging people to return to work but cutting unemployment data americans now receive an additional payment of $300.00 a week which is sometimes higher than most being offered by employers in fact the

nation yet child care issues and close schools are also said to be preventing people from returning to work but president biden insists america's economy is headed in the right direction we put the issue of how the u.s. government should move to a pandemic economy for debate. when you have not working paying almost as much if not more than working that creates a disincentive for people to go and get jobs in the economy and that was on purpose during code that we didn't want everybody flooding in after you got disruptions in hospitality and travel but we need to be thoughtful about how we move out of that covert 'd economy and back into a more normal economy and i think wages are going to have to rise in order for that so will forward properly the schools have not really opened in us and most of the

places they say they're open but for maybe a couple hours or a couple days a week well that means parents have to continue teaching their kids they can't go back to work i suspect a lot of the recalls to work business isn't just testing the market and bringing people back and part time in other words their weekly earnings are far less if you want these people to come back raise the minimum wage for these people pay them a decent wage just so they can afford childcare make sure they have the same hours of work that you did before and the people will come back to work the idea that all these benefits isn't having an impact on the unemployment numbers is absurd sure there are other aspects of this that there are other factors in this equation but yes they do need to start moving more towards getting people back to work which means not paying them to stay home and we need to reopen our schools that is a that is a factor as well that is

a good point so it's not so this won't fix the problem as far as just removing the benefits but we also need to reopen schools there's also the fact that there are a lot of people especially here in austin texas who are just afraid to go back to work one because again the benefits and because they're still afraid about coping so it's a variety of factors we can't. say that benefits have nothing to do. following the horrific school shooting in the russian city of concern on tuesday the mother of a local teenager who committed suicide last year has us the authorities to investigate a possible connection between the 2 tragedies her son and the shooter studied at the same college both became selves to be gods the woman close that there may be parallels between the behavior of the suspect and her son are there you know we reveal that when i saw the video of the shooter lying in detention center in a cage with his hands behind his head half naked and the way he said all those wires and his behavior i saw my son he was saying god i am god the same words i
