fear and the border crisis in a joint letter they question whether the president's health is up to the job. oh they're welcome you're watching r.t. international this friday afternoon just gone 2 o'clock am in the russian capital violence continues to rage between israel and palestine has the region teeters on all out war in disturbing scenes victims including children were seen being pulled from the rubble in garza following israeli air strikes video emerged of medics and emergency workers recovering the bodies of 6 victims including 4 children following in the attack on thursday local media say they were found from the same household well after the latest strikes ambulances and other emergency vehicles have been ferrying the wounded to a local. little since monday $109.00 people have been killed in gaza according to

the hamas health ministry and $28.00 of them are said to be children meanwhile israel says it is massing troops along the gaza border and calling up 9000 reservists is fears to grow an imminent ground invasion of the how misrule gaza strip although so far israeli troops have entered the enclave however artillery and tanks have been firing into the strip overnight and. the israeli army claims to have destroyed several kilometers of underground tunnels in and around the israeli border with gaza during strikes in the early hours of friday morning the i.d.f. released footage showing a large scale operation involving ground forces artillery and $160.00 aircraft according to his statement and that would make it the largest round of strikes against garza so far in this 4 day flare up the israeli air force including drones

helicopters and fighter jets have been targeting the strip since monday after the militant palast palestinian group hamas began launching rockets into israel. well this is an unverified video 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 the i.d.f. said it strikes have killed dozens of militants including some top hamas commanders a local journalist sent us this report from gaza. the scene where where i am is very tense for the moment as this really. planes and israeli tank or infantry have intensified their shilling going to. the palestinian gaza strip the population here are being forced to endure 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 citizen indoor and following up on the answer from the news on the social media and people are sick 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 bull 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 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. to attack the gaza strip palestinians you are being very concerned about there in action by the international community. than i did a stage which described as really 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 in the region that's the update for the time being. while 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 in a rocket attack meanwhile hammer says it's already fired 50 rockets into israel this morning in the latest exchange of fire. oh no. oh the air raid sirens rang out through thursday several cross several cities warning people of incoming fire from guards including in tel aviv from where coarsely sent us 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 honest 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 normally 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 they were 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. to level. but also these are really city of lord became a flashpoint amid the clashes we've seen this week it is one of the cities with a mixed arab and jewish population firemen were seen damping down a synagogue which had been torched israeli security forces are also a trial in the streets to intention has eased compared to previous days but the situation does remain fragile the local mayor earlier likened events on the streets to a civil war. or former pink floyd front man and activist roger waters as think 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 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 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 again you understand i have to give israel a point if you all know if they say and it's really court has ruled thought prior to 948 the land was in jewish. and. 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 or some it's equally nonsensical. story 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 up we're going to save this fragile planet from this from what we're seeing on our screens

here. well an i.d.f. spokesperson is also told r.t. it's how mass that triggered the violence in israel is simply trying to protect its people. that's aids not under siege it to all it all it's a security blockade we have nothing no interest in the street 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 turgon ization we see it we stay with them brotherhood and they disagree to have israel tiny little only 2 states. and from time to time they launch many results on the neighboring estate settlements and now it's still ation about the ground forces we have to concede the river because you have to think what will be next if you ask me i don't think that we receive israeli troops in gaza

i think that our forces trying to do their best not to harm the population but to harm the stockpiles in sitaram but you know there is a must use the population is human shields but i i want to say something about the culture ok i saw in our international t.v. they always try to look at eat like a football or basketball or maybe there is just the casualties in israeli and in 84 in the palestinians are and i think it's not fair ok because these really just trying to pull thank the civilians in every house we have a new house we have a shelter here like in my house we try to protect our civilians and they deliberately. endangered. british army veteran has taken

hello again my questions about president biden's health are once again stoking face debate in the united states after 124 tied military officers signed an open letter claiming that meade ministrations launched nor latches on their constitutional rights and they questioned so you the president's fitness to rule but their words angered other military servicemen and of course the democrats as much. 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 americans heal on any front that something

that joe biden is uniquely qualified to do as a joe biden giving america a message tonight that 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 in long 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 7 month at the border compared to a year ago border 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 wool oh yeah didn't you hear by to the man who said there will not be another foot of will construction 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 left it 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 ends all thing the question is if 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 there was a 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 than 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 needers 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 evil to independently lead up to alone 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. 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 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'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. where joe biden is also feeling the heat to at home over his pandemic recovery plans for the economy several u.s. states and looking to slash emergency benefits in a bid to boost the jobs market restaurants across the country have been struggling it seems to hire enough staff despite hiking pay rates to attract applicants and critics implying that generous unemployment checks are leaving many reluctant to

look for work although that argument has been rejected by the white house. proposed a way no but he was just choosing to. be close to one of ours so we don't see much evidence that the extra unemployment insurance is a major driver in people not rejoining the workforce. with restrictions being eased to more people vaccinated the us did see 266000 people find new jobs in april but that figure was way off what economists had been predicting they expected around a 1000000 to find work and that shortfall meant there was little improvement in the overall unemployment rate until the autumn americans are receiving an additional payment of $300.00 a week which is sometimes higher than that offered by employers childcare issues schools being closed or no vaccination yet are also said to be discouraging people

from returning to work however president biden does insist america's economy is heading in the right direction and the low job figures there for justify spending plans we put the issue of how the u.s. should boost its economy 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 'd and get jobs in the economy and that was on purpose during code that we didn't want everybody flooding in after that disruptions in 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 'd 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 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 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 she 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 it. now investigations continue into a mass shooting at a school in the russian city of design this week which left 9 people including 7 children dead 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 that he was acting is god the massacre 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 injured most of them children have since been airlifted to moscow for specialist treatment and some

are said to be in a critical condition we're following the horrific events there the mother of a local teenager who committed suicide last year has asked the authorities to investigate a possible connection between the 2 tragedies her son and the shooter studied at the same college and both proclaim themselves to be god's investigators of already expressed interest in the case and proclaimed the relaunched or bricklaying to relaunch the inquiry the mother of the boy who took his own life believes there may be parallels in their behavior. god i reveal that when i saw the video of the shooter lying and tension said 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'm 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 country hyperactive but when he left school and went to study programming he changed he dressed all of black and had a hood covering his head you could only see his eyes he was always wearing a mask. but the teenager killed himself last may his family says he had problems with his girlfriend and the tried to commit suicide several times before after daniel was death his mother found an app on his phone that gives instructions on how to use weapons and not contact the novel 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 told 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 or shot international committee to help us to moscow thanks be company today more from us at the top of the. it's not all about. bad cards good cards bad it's much more complex than just their own going back on the stand not really what is good quality food what's a balanced diet and it's not about these 3 macronutrients because food is actually

30000 chemicals. hey folks next up on dennis miller plus one can you believe 25 years in order of a century since the original space changed film they got a new one coming out space jam a new legacy and one of the heavy hitters in the voiceover they also happens to be one of the sweetest guys eric i don't know quite know will find out from him who he's voicing and film but he'll be there they brought in all all the players in the boy so we'll also talk to him about a nice story as an apple t.v. plus a good message for the kid caught unplugs the internet certainly an alluring tool but strangely a pool of blood and get up there and i think the speaks to that eric bowzer right after this then a similar what's one.
