7:08 am
far israeli troops haven't entered gaza but artillery and tanks have been firing into the strip we heard from a journalist at the border about the current situation. we cannot disclose our exact location of the military operation but let me tell you it is really worrisome now these israelis have been in the rocket shelters sheltering from these incoming rockets sent out about from hamas the last days using just a few minutes ago that i haven't seen. a community already on the gaza border has the directly by now i would be surprised. how much of a right now we've been here on the border for the last few hours and we have had to lie on the ground for cover many times with hamas just send out these rockets into israeli territory the i.d.f. has called up thousands of reserve troops in preparation for
7:09 am
a potential ground operation. now these are the city of gold has been a flashpoint of clashes throughout the week it is just one of the cities for the next hour of the jewish population and tensions between them high. has been talking to both sides in the conflict. now if i was a popular who founded the 1st palestinian hip hop group he's lived in large his whole life a city often hailed as a symbol of coexistence but this week that symbol became a war zone shibo many in covering you are having a measure of rubbish when ashley and you get older you have a machine michelle mone yes name him just like outside your polygon ask you know i'm really going to talk about i very. bright and listen i mean the p. doc i called the cops i was like you sent us that we should stay in the houses like you should stay in the house again but there are armed settlers around the neighborhoods like screaming death to the arabs in
7:10 am
a way like yeah i don't know you know the police is taking care of those like you i see them the other sporting room and then suddenly the supervisor. takes a force like this is what it is we don't need you ok and good bye and they are not like like the 911 hunger on me tell me nothing hasn't called the police again but like of occurring night me he's relived the same terror every night this week now he stays glued to his phone guarding his home with the help of his arab neighbors and what about the jews who live next door if you have in in your neighbor from the same building as you that 2 days ago you helped him change his tires and 3 days ago he helped you carry your groceries up upstairs ok and suddenly he's pointing out to writers to say this is his this is a jewish car burn it or this is a jewish apartment throw him out of a bottle into it i don't know but trust is
7:11 am
a very fragile thinks one thing when it's once it's been broken. gaining trust again for years the central israeli city of large has been home to religious jews and arabs neighbors often living side by side in the same apartment block but the death on monday of an arab resident. at the hands of jews who were not acting out of self-defense depending he has fanned the flames of frustration on the streets into something much bigger something branded a nazi program by the city's mayor with all the hallmarks of a civil war was the. right the the. right track. you know 99.9 percent of the people who say coexistence and don't jews don't know you don't know
7:12 am
nothing about us when we don't have that image for housing when you have 300 demolished houses when a war crime the rate is the biggest and the police doesn't even give a damn about what is happening in a look laced they just come eat almost for like 15 minutes get that exotic amazing things like the music people's lives the coexistence and caring about each other came to love to live in a community of people who are different from me that is definitely part of my ideology of how i want to live and how i want to raise my kids i wanted to be not uniform it's interesting it's beautiful it's colorful it's great. if it's peaceful right now they're barely tolerating each other the streets are quiet soldiers patrol the neighborhoods and in one time too few is in place the question lingers if this can happen in what was supposed to be a model mixed jewish arab city what hope is there for the rest of the country i'm
7:13 am
very worried i'm not personally afraid for myself i am extremely afraid for the very very delicate. fabric of community and reality was created here that's being torn 1st of all you have around what 78000000 people you and your only are they really want to go exist but they have only 5 legs series and the other ones are separated like you think you can buy a house and live you for example. it's to be playful look at the facts just like much of the city the relationship between jews and arabs in knowledge has gone up in flames and hopes of restoring peace not only here but across the country is fading quickly. but we spoke to the press officer of the israeli foreign ministry michael freeman he told us why it's so problematic for israel to consider a safe. any ceasefire needs to be
7:14 am
a serious there's no point in having a ceasefire that after 24 hours or 48 hours who all of a sudden i must stop firing rockets again so we need to make sure that any cease fire is one that is going to last for a significant period of time hopefully many years and therefore we need to be in a position that hamas are really ready to take that and so we will continue our operation until we believe and we are convinced in the from outside they are ready for a cease in in activity and cease of their rockets for a very long time even go back a few days israel took many many steps to deescalate saying in the response we got from calm us with rocket fire every child and that we stop when we get more rockets it always seems to be that we do the ceasing of hamas to the firing and this time we're going to make sure that any time there's any stop the stop is for a very long time for the last 15 years have been firing rockets nonstop over to israel then maybe a break here for a couple of months or break that for
7:15 am
a few weeks and that's not acceptable it can't be that millions of israelis can't live a normal life because hamas are threatening to shoot rockets over that fence which that people when they're sleeping in their beds will be able to spoke to the leader of the palestinian national initiative party stoffel got in and he told us that the palestinian people have been subjected to persecution and deprivation for decades. this is the west bank would not or could stop short of israel were people are. divorced do it and as you can see those that are in harmony is using this. forum of violence against the book of the civilian population while they are firing at it is your idea then being responded to by israel by the idea not started with somebody gets you house confiscated. and then beats you and then sure but in terms of the current i don't. want to know but in terms of the current violence you can go back and not genetically but we can go back to adult sites that. you have
7:16 am
not given that you have the idea of we hear from people who live in their homes we'll find them for 55 years and when you practice our system. and one day i will defend themselves you damn food what's happening not you should the system of occupation this is our kind of sick you should. practice that against the palestinian people what about the fact that missiles are being fired when people are hungry they need medicines money is being spent on that because it has been under siege for 16 years. having people from the possibility of having clean hooked up 94 percent of the what is the point you don't want to because of as a people do not have enough medications because there's a cancer patient's going to. look at least because the president is that i was
7:17 am
there but i didn't ask for them but i don't watch movement is what it is there but i think that's what i'm the basic disability having not about infrastructure the problem is occupation the violence right now with so many palestinians dying israelis as well what can be done right now and the stuff or to stop the violence and get back to living i think that we are out of this is that it's simple. that is what it is that i and must stop it's ok i'm patient if i know that people is there and what's allowed palestinians finally to be free and all independent state there are only 2 percent but options one option is what i was doing his last bit of that on without the patient without a question without you should. have still got that in once the whole democratic state with equal rights where i'm just you know would be considered equal to any person i was watching on international be back with more wealthy each just after this break.
7:18 am
the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the dares thinks. we dare to ask. the states is lawful. pursuit which is not a country that's founded on liberal ideals and so country that is founded on slavery any no apology it's a country that's failing today because of the you know apologies that he has
7:19 am
created being surrounded on and produced over time both domestically and abroad as well. i. am now a free lift to get your vaccine and then a burger to reward you after you've got it that's the plan of the white house which is recruited to do behind also mcdonald's among others to drive up shop rates it's all part of president biden's ambitious targets vaccinate 70 percent of all dolled adults in the united states by july the 4th is artie's dimitri. have you heard about these things called covert vaccines yeah apparently they're all the craze right now i mean i wouldn't heard about them unless i was constantly
7:20 am
bombarded with calls to get vaccinated i mean seriously how many people do they think live under rocks we get it you want to get backs unaided but the advertisements are getting out right annoying and as if there weren't enough of them left over and mcdonald's have partnered with the white house to spread the message even further a white house that at this point seems kind of desperate lives and over will now offer free trips to vaccinations sites while mcdonald's will bombard their customers with we can do this coffee cups and stickers as well as a giant billboard on times square and if all of that doesn't convince the public to come to their senses politicians are ready to lay down their careers for the cause there's a lot of good reasons to get vaccinated but for some of them you know if you need another one go it actually is sure you're alive to vote against me in the next election. i'm going to get it done all these attempts have had some effect over the last 5 months there have been significantly less coverage vaccine skeptics but
7:21 am
there are still huge segments of the population which are far from convinced and the media has been trying anything they can suppress way these people bombard them with ads appeal to their human decency ridicule them in comedy sketches everything just seems to backfire. on the prison dealings and welcome to legal who take beginning so where i tried to convince my friends to take the cold with dixie but politicians won't sleep and so all these people are not related so i guess we'll just wait and see what other crazy strategies they come up with to convince a bunch of people to put a needle in their arm for the greater good in the meantime enjoy lockdown social distancing and hearing about vaccinations day and night even if you've already followed all the steps. and irish nationalist leaders have accused the british prime minister of shielding former soldiers from justice over a number of killings in belfast in 1971 earlier boris johnson apologized on behalf

deserves well earlier a court declared that 10 civilians killed in belfast 50 years ago in disputed shootings involving british soldiers were entirely innocent it found the british army was responsible for 9 of the 10 deaths in the belly murphy massacre in august of 1971 which included a mother of 8 and a catholic priest giving last rites to a wounded man however this week the u.k. government unveiled plans for new laws to address the legacy of the past in northern ireland it includes blocking former soldiers from prosecution for any killings committed before 1998 good friday peace deal but a former irish nationalist party leader alison what donal does say the families of the victims deserve a detailed investigation and a sincere apology from the prime minister. these were all terrorists these were not people who were who were engaged. any sort of illegal activity or
7:24 am
militant activity there were people trying to orbit their daily lives and some of the people that were shot were people who went to the end of all the innocent people that were shot. it was very brutal and the families have spent 30 years i just hating for justice what people are looking for now are you is some sort of accountability and a genuine apology from the prime minister and accepted. the army were to play a role here and murderous and their intention would have gone a long way towards towards old and tried to been a body but a half hearted believe apology. is seen as just that honest basically people are not happy with the people feeling that it's not sincere. is one of the poorest countries on the planet which was wracked by civil war for
