israel's military pressure against the gaza strip with ground forces. and they shouldn't be. killed in the course in the middle of the crossfire. from the rubble. goes up in flames as tensions rise between the jewish population of. israeli security patrols on the streets. of the state of the nation with. the crisis. of the current president allows him

to perform. thanks for joining us here on our teens and. israel says it is amassing troops along the gaza border and calling up 9000 reservists as fears grow of an imminent ground invasion of the hamas ruled gaza strip israeli troops. that artillery tanks and infantry have been firing into the strip overnight. amass garza was hit by 150 airstrikes in just a matter of minutes that would make it the largest round of strikes against gaza in this 4 day flare up so far strikes rained down on the area throughout the night 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 or this is a very 5 video of israel's intense bombardment of gaza overnight israel has bombed more than $650.00 targets in gaza destroying several high rise buildings in the densely populated palestinian enclave yes it is strikes have killed dozens of militants including some top amass commanders. and some disturbing images victims including children have been seen being pulled from the rubble in gaza following air strikes the hamas health ministry claims the number of palestinians killed is now reached 10928 of them are believed to be children. local journalists from e.r. mcgorry joins us live on the line now from gaza rami good morning to you just take us through the scene where you are. good morning neil the scene where where i am

is very tense for the moment as this really were planes and israeli janko infantry have intensified their shilling and the board. of the palestinian gaza strip where the population here are being forced to stay indoors because of the intensity of the chilling in the 2nd day of the 38 and actually it is one of the largest israeli attack on gaza in the last few days and the people of guards are as a citizen door and following up on the answer from the news on the us so she'll be here and people are seeing saying that children are screaming out of the. situation of the of the loud. around them around the cities and towns where the death toll in gaza is on the rise the women are being killed children are being killed inside their homes because of what is being described by international

organizations like the i.c.r.c. as being indiscriminate fire against palestinians which is which is illegal according to international law the infantry troops israel has beefed up their presence on the boards and lines and it is likely that israel will take a sort of action on the ground the ground invasion for the gaza strip and i would like to mention here is that the palestinian resistance factions including days like mr marson. these lawmakers jihad have warned against is such an invasion by the israeli troops saying that there will be some sort of a retaliation a strong retaliation to any ground attack by capturing more israeli soldiers by by air by by attacking the israeli soldiers. to attack the gaza strip palestinians here are being very concerned about there in action by the international community especially by the night of the state which described israeli actions against gaza

as being good not exaggerated and giving a chance for more talks to happen in order to continue to be able to contain the volatile situation and the region that's the update for the time being many thanks reporting live from gaza local journalist rami khouri. former pink floyd front man and activist roger waters thinks that 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 global civil society in my view i can you understand i have to give israel a point if you all not they say an israeli court has ruled thought prior to 948 the land was in jewish girls and the huts 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 so say 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 rich 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 of also died including a soldier killed by an anti-tank missile on a 6 year old child it's in a rocket attack and while hamas says it's already fired 50 rockets into israel in the latest exchange of fire the well none of them.

are right sarin is running out on thursday throughout several cities warning people living coming far from gaza including intel of if we're obviously a sense is 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 was shit i was sleeping in a state as shelter clean up until now people 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 poor as 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 intercepting 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 africa now i should make my way back to the shelter room where i was sleeping up until a minute ago policy r.t. television. the israeli city of lot has become

a flashpoint of clashes this week it's one of the cities with a mixed arab jewish population time and there was seen dumping down a synagogue that have been torched really security forces was a patrolling the streets tension is ease compared to previous days but the situation remains fragile local maberly likened events on the streets to a civil war. and i.d.f. spokesperson told r.t. is a mass that triggered the violence and israel is simply trying to protect its people . safe not under siege all it's all it's a security blockade you have nothing no interest in the street really think about it not a holy place a tiny place we want to leave in peace back in the street the risk from us it target is ation we figure it leaves them with little brother and they disagree to have israel kind we really only jewish state. and from time

to time they launch mainly sites on the neighboring estate the 2nd main and now it's a escalation in both 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 forces are trying to do the best not to harm the population but to harm this talk. but you know the whole must use the population is the human shield but i i want to say something about the culture it is ok. i saw international t.v. always try to look like a wall or basketball to me is just 7 the casualties in israel and. or in the palestinians and i think it's not fair ok because these really just

trying to pull the civilians 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 once again stoking fierce debate in america that's after $124.00 retired military officers signed an open letter claiming the administration's launched an all out assault on their constitutional rights and they question the president's fitness to rule but their words angered other military servicemen and of course democrats so i ask you tell us more 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 could show by is uniquely qualified to do as a joe biden giving america a message tonight them and one i think 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 who patrol says it's a crisis and people in texas a teaching our children to shoot here just in case but totally not a crisis though at least at the wool oh yeah didn't you hear biden the man who said there were not spin of the fruits of wool constructed on my administration is 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 disinformation 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 ever owned a red cap or donald trump that bans and given all these mixed messages coming from the white house the latter 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 ugs spuyten 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 trump 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 evil to independently lead up to a lone 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 allies in progeny they are have now become an arm of the democratic party can use a sky. rates have been up because our american mainstream media outlets are propaganda arm for joe biden and the democrats when the news covers of you know 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 it 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 is played in the world. in all job on thing called on by some states being too generous they claim payments from this fundamental ballparks are keeping people from looking for work or that story after the break. or.

join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then.

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 singler has been suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder since leaving the army in 2008 his mental state had been further strained since attending the funerals of each of his fallen comrades who had been killed in action in iraq it was found collapsed in his home in february of this year and died a short time later in hospital his widow haley got shared what happened was a huge. problems because quite clearly. the

army. and he was diagnosed back in trying to teach how. well when he was diagnosed it was certain it wasn't a break you go out and you. don't write it up should be you know none of our streets really even then obviously remembrance i. book could be years before that's when it was really really bad i see actually much suits that are just go as far as he went and out checks you want to come back straps and not one person in any open i was actually not can't you know how that is that according to the campaign group of veterans united against suicide 67 former servicemen took their own lives last year and then the last 2 decades there 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 early got for game things veterans just aren't getting the support they need. the

why these veterans are treated for me these boys and girls are going to fight frank control and that combat. memories that none of us will ever you know comprehend what happened there but you know they're literally throwing assault would that be told that the too complex there's no one that can deal with veterans and to me that's not good enough i've had to sit 2 children down because it wasn't helped. and you know in years to come that's going to be a difficult conversation to have a part of that you know not that it could have been saved if it wasn't for the organizations are there how completely. many restaurants in the united states are struggling to have enough staff despite hiking rates to attract more applicants critics claim generous unemployment benefits aimed at helping people through the pandemic living many reluctant to look for work or

that arguments been rejected by the white house has a way of know people just choosing not to apply for jobs because you get from point a friend of ours and we don't see much evidence that the extra unemployment insurance is a major driver in people not rejoining the workforce with covert restrictions being eased than more people vaccinated of the u.s. or 266000 people find new jobs in april but that was way off the mark of what economists have been predicting they expected around a 1000000 to find work a shortfall of about 75 percent and it's meant that there's been little impact to the unemployment rate. some governors meanwhile are encouraging people to return to work by cutting their unemployment 8 americans currently receive an additional payment of $300.00 a week which is sometimes higher than what's being offered by employers childcare issues schools being closed the no vaccination yet they're also said to be

discouraging people from returning to work president biden systematic is economy is heading in the right direction we put the issue of how the u.s. government should move to a post pandemic economy for debate. when you have not working haying 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 cold economy and back into a more normal economy and i think wages are going after rise in order for that to move 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 recall 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 are 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 are welcome 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 and 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 because on tuesday the mother of a local teenager who committed suicide last year has us the authorities to investigate a possible connection between the tragedies of her son and the shooter studied at the same college both proclaim themselves gods the woman close there may be parallels between their behavior 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 heard from my child for about 2 years that he was both god and the devil in one person and that he knew everything and he knew how to live and he knew what was

going to happen he said something like that i can't just remember everything right now but i just saw my boy at that exact moment my son wasn't quiet he was on country hyperactive but when he left school and went to study programming he changed he dressed all in black and had a hood covering his head you could only see his eyes he was always wearing the mask the teenager killed himself last may his family say had problems with his girlfriend and tried to commit suicide several times before and after the neil's death his mother found an app on his phone that gives instructions on how to use weapons. welcome back the nirmal it was in college when my son became very distant from his family he completely pushed us away and didn't want to communicate a tool he began to call his stepfather my 2nd husband by name although from the age of 7 he called him dad suddenly daddy became just max to him his last words were

mother you'll be fine when i'm gone you'll live in peace my ex-husband said that on the night of the death my son came to him with a red painted face he stood for a while and then it out for him he found out our son was not at home on the safe where the gun was had been opened with a key. tuesday of this week a teenager armed with a shotgun opened fire in his former school and the massacre resulted in the deaths of 7 children and 2 teachers more than 20 other people were injured most then children 8 of since been airlifted to moscow for specialist treatment with some said to be in a critical condition a 19 year old suspect appeared in court for a pretrial hearing on wednesday he pleaded guilty and was held in custody. and that brings you up to date don't forget we do have more stories covered on our website you can check them out at r.t. dot com.
