military officers say that they're tired of the state of the nation left wing censorship and border crisis an illiterate letter they question with the president's health allows him to perform. other very good afternoon thanks for joining us on art. violence continues to rage between israeli and palestinian forces as the region teeters on all out war and disturbing scenes victims including children was seen being pulled from the rubble and guards following israeli air strikes video emerged of medics and emergency workers recovering bodies of 6 victims 4 children following an attack on thursday local media say that they were all part of the same household since monday 109 people have been killed in gaza or according to the hamas health ministry 28 of

whom were children. meanwhile israel says it is massing troops along the gaza border and calling up 9000 reservists that's as fears grow of an imminent ground invasion of the hamas ruled gaza strip israeli troops haven't had to the enclave of artillery and tanks have been firing into the strip over night. nasa says gaza was hit by 150 s. strikes in just a matter of minutes that would make it the largest round of strikes against gaza so far in this 4 day flare up strikes rained down on the area throughout the night israeli air force including drones helicopters and fighter jets have been hitting the strip since monday after the militant palestinian group hamas began launching rockets into israel here is unverified video of israel's intense bombardment of gaza overnight israel's on more than $650.00 targets in gaza destroying several high rise buildings in the densely populated palestinian enclaves the i.d.f.

said that it strikes have killed dozens of militants including some top amass commanders local journalist sent us this report from gaza. the scene where where i am is very tense for the moment as this really were planes and israeli tank the infantry have intensified their shilling and the board. of the palestinian guards us to read the population here are being forced to endure because of the intensity of the chilling in the 2nd day of the aisle furter 8 and actually it is one of the largest israeli attack on gaza in the last a few days and the people of guards are as a citizen and following up on the answer from the news on the social media people are 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 a 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 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 mr bass and the islamic jihad have warned against it such an invasion by that is really 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 israeli soldiers who are to attack the gaza strip palestinians

here are being very concerned about there in action by the international community especially by. the nature of the state which described is really actions against gaza 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 for the time being. the number of casualties is 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 it in a rocket attack and while hamas says it has already fired 50 rockets into israel in the latest exchange of fire. there were none of them.

over it sorry is running out on thursday throughout several cities warning people of incoming fire from gaza including in terms of who were all asleep 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 a 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 pause i told you about and then after a moment of so they should be an explosion and that will be the iron dome anti-missile defense system into sitting with the ruckus they what 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 wow that sounds a bit loud but 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 where i was sleeping up until a minute ago. policy at r.t. tel aviv. 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 father was seen driving down

a synagogue that had been torched the israeli security forces were patrolling the streets tension is ease compared to previous days but the situation does remain fragile the local mare earlier likened events on the streets to a civil war. former 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. the israeli 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 by global civil society in my view again you understand i have to give israel's point of view all not they

say an israeli court has ruled thought prior to 948 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 king 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 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 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 to put in the save this fragile planet from this from what we're seeing on our screens here. spokesperson told r.t. it's a mass the triggered the violence and israel simply trying to protect its people that safe not under siege all it's all it's a security blockade we have nothing no interest in the streets 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 see a muslim brotherhood and they disagree to have israel hine me

the only jewish state on earth and from time to time they launched many many sites on the neighboring settlements and now it's escalation about the ground forces we have to consider it because you have seen what will be next if you ask me i don't think that we re see 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 stockpile in cetera but you know they become must use the population is human shields but i i want to say something about the country ok. i saw you know our international t.v. they always try to look at the like a football or 'd basketball image is just 7 the casualties in israel and 4

or in the palestinians are and i think it's not fair ok because these raids are trying to kill take the civilians in every house behave newhouse we have a show like in my house we try to protect our civilians and they deliberately. endangered. a british army veteran has taken his own life for attending funerals of 9 comrades killed in iraq that 4 year old father of 2 lunch england has been suffering had been suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder since leaving the army in 2008 his mental state has been further strained since attending funerals of each of his fallen comrades you've been killed in action in iraq he was found collapsed in his home in february and died a short time later in hospital his widow haley got shared what happened he was

welcome back questions about president joe biden's health are once again stoking fierce debate in america this is after 124 retired military officers signed an open letter claiming the administration's launched an all out assault on their constitutional rights and they questioned the president's fitness to rule but the words angered other military servicemen and democrats taylor explains. well 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 that joe 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 letter have to pick with the current us administration well quite a few ranging from joe being to thoughts of wall 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 up and a red cap or donald trump that banned and given all these mixed messages coming from the white house the letter ends asking the question is it 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 then with 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 well 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 abused or 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 equal to

independently lead up to a loan can cause great instability in the global arena and a 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 and progeny they are have now become an arm of the democratic party in news. read something out because our american mainstream media outlets are propaganda arm for joe biden and the democrats when the news coverage of the 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. joe biden's also feeling the heat it home over his

pandemic 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 been struggling just to have enough stuff despite hiking polaroids to trying to topple accounts critics claim generous unemployment checks are leaving many people reluctant to look for work but that argument's been rejected by the white house how does the white house know that people are just choosing not to apply for jobs because yes or unemployment benefits are so we don't see much evidence that the extra unemployment insurance is a major driver in people not rejoining the workforce and the covert restrictions being eased the more people vaccinated the u.s. saw 266000 people for new jobs in april but that was way off the mark what economists predicted they expected around a 1000000 to find work the short form and there was a little improvement in the overall unemployment rate. there into the also

americans receive an additional payment of $300.00 a week which is sometimes higher than that being offered by employers childcare issues schools being closed the no vaccination getter also said to be discouraging people from going back to work president biden insist america's economy is headed in the right direction and that the low job figures therefore justify his new spending plans to put the issue of how the u.s. government should move to a post pandemic economy that in fact. 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 and 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 after rise in order 'd for that to move forward properly the schools have not really opened in the u.s. 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 come 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 towards getting people back to work which

means not paying them to stay home and we need to reopen our schools and 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. investigations continue into a mass shooting at a school in the russian city of cazan this week it left 9 people including 7 children and 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 after he claimed he was acting as god the massacre occurred on tuesday when the former student went to his old school and opened fire along with the 9 more than 20 people were injured most of them children

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 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 a mask. the teenager killed himself last may his family saying he had problems with his girlfriend and tried to commit suicide several times before after the news death his mother found it up on his phone that gives instructions on how to use weapons welcome back to normal like 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 a red painted face he stood for a while and that it out for him he found out our some was not at home in the safe where the gun was had been opened with a key. well bunch of other today tell me about with more on top stories in half an hour. new york is really what america is about. when our mayor took office he was elected because of his campaign on our city being
