said the strikes have killed dozens of militants including some top amass commanders local journalists centers this report from gaza. scene where where i am is very tense for the moment as this really were planes and israeli tank or infantry have intensified their shilling going to. the palestinian gaza strip the population here being forced to stay indoors because of the intensity of the chilling in the 2nd day of the aisle for raid 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 city stayed indoors and did following up on the answer from the news on the social media and people are saying that children are screaming out of the. situation of the loud. around them around the cities and towns the death toll

in gaza is on the rise 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 policy 10 years which is which is illegal according to international law the infantry troops israel has beefed up their presence on the ball did 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 bass and the islamic jihad have warned against such an invasion by the israeli troops saying that. there is there will be some sort of 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 are being very concerned about their inaction by the international community especially by the nature of the state which described israeli actions against gaza as being 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. the number of casualties has been rising daily since monday so far $109.00 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 is in a rocket attack and while hamas says it has already fired 50 rockets into israel in the latest exchange of fire. oh no. oh. roads aren't running go out on thursday throughout several cities warning

people of incoming fire from gaza including in terms of all the slips and as 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 as a 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 would 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. policia r.t. television. israeli city of load has become a flashpoint of clashes this week it's one of the cities with a mixed arab and jewish population pharmacy in damping down

a synagogue to the talks there israeli security forces were also patrolling the streets tension is ease compared to previous days but the situation remains fragile the local mayor earlier likened events on the streets to a civil war. for the pink floyd front man 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 occupation of palestine is untenable it is not a future that compulsively supply 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's point of view all not they say and it's really courts rule prior to 948 was in jewish. and. because of jordan davis taken away from them this is not an equal conflict this is not when we're talking about gaza which we 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 it's equally nonsensical. story of which they've been said they've been saying the same thing over and over again a single state from the rivets of the sea 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 work. 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 and i.d.f. spokesperson told r.t. is hamas that triggered the violence and israel simply trying to protect its people that's safe not under siege all it's all it's a security blockade we have nothing no interest in this really think about it not a holy place a tiny place we want to live in peace back in district to risk it target is ation

receiving. end they disagree to have israel hang me the only jewish state. and from time to time they launch many results on the neighboring settlements and now it's a relation about the ground forces we have to concede the room because you have to seen what will be next if you ask me i don't think that we really see israeli troops in gaza i think that our else forces are trying to do their best not to harm the population but to harm the stalk by in-situ rob but you know they become must use that population is human shields that i i want to say something about the country is ok i saw even our international t.v. they always try to look like

a wall or basketball is just the casualties in israel and. or in the palestinians are and i think it's not fair ok because these really it's us trying to cause take the sea billions in every house we have a new house we have a show like in my house we try to protect our civilians and they deliberately. endangered. the 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 shingly have been suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder since leaving the army in 2008 his mental state has been further strained since attending the funerals of each of his fallen comrades who've been killed in action in iraq was found collapsed in his home back in february of this year and he died a short time later in hospital his widow helicopter shared what happened. i was

a he left the army and it popular because i'm quite clear that if you 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 right it's adult should be none of our streets really even when i was in remembrance that i. book could be years before he died that's when it was really really bad i was he actually up my suits that are this go as far as he went to the end that chassis got to come back straps and not one person in any organ i was actually not can't you help that he. according to the campaign group veterans united against suicide 67 former servicemen took their lives last year in the last 2 decades there were almost 300 suicides among serving personnel

during this period the u.k. had been involved in several complex including in iraq afghanistan and syria illegal for getting things veterans to start getting support they need to know why these veterans are treated and for me the boys and girls who go into fight frank control and neck combat these horrific memories that none of us will ever you know not comprehend not what happened. but you know they're literally. thrown aside 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 stick 2 children down talent that is that because he wasn't helped. and you know in years to come that's going to be a difficult conversation to have it my children but you know not that he could have been saved if it wasn't for the organizations are there how completely filed him if they stay with r.t. more news coming your way after this break.

this enormous loss directly and publicly for americans heal on any front that something could show biden is uniquely qualified to do as a joe biden giving america a message tonight them and one i think the only this president president could give not the former one the thing is apparently the mainstream media doesn't speak for everyone shocking so what bones does this lesson 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 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 terrorists 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 at the wool oh yeah didn't you hear biden the man who said there will not be into 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 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 out to red cap or donald trump that banned and given all these mixed messages coming from the white house the letter and all thing the question is biden up to the job. the mental and physical condition of the commander in chief cannot be ignored you 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 sleepy at all. but that is the one star group of democrats who spite him to think about giving others the all star a t. to launch a nuclear attack not exactly a vote of confidence in the commander in chief so as you can see a fiery left with some serious allegations that have got people

a bit angry that was way wars 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 on 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 lead up to a loan can cause great instability in the global arena and the global leader 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 in news. because our american mainstream media outlets are propaganda arm for joe biden and the democrats when the news coverage of the now 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 risk and that 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. joe biden's also feeling the heat at home over his recovery plans for the economy now several u.s. states are looking to slash emergency benefits in

a bid to boost the job markets restaurants across the country have been struggling just to have enough staff spot hiking pay rates to a trying time critics claim generous unemployment checks are leaving many reluctant to look for work or that argument has been rejected by the white house is the way. that people just choosing not to do their jobs because you are on a whim of ours so we don't see much evidence that the extra unemployment insurance is a major driver in people not rejoining the workforce amid coded restrictions being eased and 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 expected around a 1000000 to find work in short form and there was little improvement in the overall unemployment rate through until the autumn americans are receiving an additional payment of $300.00 a week which is sometimes higher than what's offered by employers childcare issues

schools being closed and no vaccination yet they're also said to be discouraging people from returning to work president biden insist america's economy is headed in the right direction and the job figures therefore justify his new spending plans. we put the issue of how the u.s. government should move to a post pandemic kaname up 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 this ructions and hospitality and travel but we need to be thoughtful about how we move out of that cold 'd 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 and i suspect a lot of the recalls to work business isn't just testing the market and bringing people back in part time in other words their weekly earnings are far less if you want these people are coming back raise the minimum wage for these people pay them a decent wages 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 'd 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 but we can't. say that benefits had nothing to do. investigations continue into a mass shooting at a school in the russian city of concern this week which left 9 people including 7 children that the 19 year old suspect appeared in court for a pretrial hearing on wednesday where he pleaded guilty and was remanded in custody his mental state is currently being assessed that the claim that he was acting as god raskar occurred on tuesday when the former student went to his old school and opened fire along with the 9 deaths more than 20 people were also injured most of them children 8 have since been airlifted to moscow for specialist treatment with

some to be in a critical condition. following the horrific events the mother of a local teenager who committed suicide last year is us the authorities to investigate a possible connection between the 2 tragedies her son and the shooter study the same college both proclaim themselves to be god's woman believes there may be parallels between their behavior or their you know all 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 in 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 travel 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 the contrary

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 a mask. the teenager killed himself last may his family says he had problems with his girlfriend and tried to commit suicide several times before after the neil's death his mother found it out on his phone the gives instructions on how to use weapons will come back that it was in college when my son became very distant from his family he completely pushed us away and didn't want to communicate at all he began to call his stepfather my 2nd husband by name although from the age of 7 he called him dat 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 the red painted face he stood for

a while and that 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 kill the guy with updates for you half an hour to see them. all as a fascist well given the state of our politics a fascist is your political opponent even mortal enemy tragically dangerously the term bashers is more times than not a political slur to destroy someone's character fascism is an odious ideology and political practice we all should be careful when referencing a. americans love.

this was a fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country at large understood the bargain you get a hope and then you know rebel right as the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. and the really interesting dialing back and think about the longer deeper history housings men in the united states not just that question of the american dream but the bigger question of who the dream is for.

teens so he could visionaries me. food is their primary source of energy growth but not always able to figure out their rights or wrongs about food inspector with us or. tim specter professor of genetic epidemiology bestselling author it's great to have you with us today so tim you've done a lot of research on the micro bio which is essentially the map with on the inside out that microbes bacteria and all that the micro biome has a direct influence on our house so in the times of the pandemic the question arises obvious question grow what role does our macaroni play in protecting us against code that.
