8:08 am
is being carried out while israel is conducting air strikes against various cars that are well violence rages in the west bank where palestinians have been throwing molotov cocktails and setting ties alight in anger at the continued israeli air strikes on the region the i.d.f. has responded to the protests by firing rubber bullets killing at least 11 people.
8:09 am
well there is also violence too in east jerusalem overnight palestinian protesters there set barricades on fire while the i.d.f. deployed to gas and water cannon during clashes in a palestinian neighborhood inside the jerusalem these pictures here show protesters clashed with israeli soldiers in the palestinian city of hebron as ties burned on the roads demonstrators were seeing my even flags in support of gaza and israel police raiding police responded with tear gas them further north these pictures from the city of jenin that seen at least one protester killed in clashes with israeli soldiers his body was wrapped in the palestinian flag and carried through a large crowd. now we spoke to the press officer of the israeli foreign ministry michael freeman he told us why it is so problematic for israel to consider a cease fire. any ceasefire needs to be a serious inscribe there's no point in having a ceasefire that after 24 hours or 48 hours who all of
8:10 am
a sudden i must start 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 summit say that 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 the response we got from hamas was rocket fire every time in 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 there may be a break here for a couple of months or break that for a few weeks and that's not acceptable it can't be that millions of israelis can't live
8:11 am
a normal life because hamas are threatening to shoot rockets so that when to attack people when they're sleeping in their beds. but we also spoke with the leader of the palestinian national initiative party stuff we got saying he tells us that the palestinian people have been subjected to persecution and deprivation for decades. this is the worst that would not or could stop short of israel would people are. divorced do it and as you can see you know is there in music this. form of violence against the book the civilian population while they are firing what is your idea then being responded to by israel by the idea not of it started with somebody gets a little house. confiscated. and then beats and then sure but in terms of the current i listen and look to me and want to know but in terms of the current violence you can go back and likely but we can go back to adult sites that. you
8:12 am
have not only giving a view of the idea of and 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 fool what's happening not you should the system of occupation this is our kind of. practice 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 gaza has been under siege for 16 years israel is having people from the possibility of having worked up 94 percent of the work that in gaza is the couple who didn't want it 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 there but i didn't ask for them but i. meant is that it is there but i don't think
8:13 am
that's that's what i'm that basic disability you know 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 stuff 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 is it and must stop its occupation of other people is there and what's allowed palestinians finally to be free in depth in all independent state there are only 2 possible options one option just like i was in his last week on their own without to keep issues without opposition without as you should or did you have still got that in once the form of democratic state with equal rights where i was do you know would be considered equal to any person i was watching out international are going to take a quick break now i will be back with more world news and a couple of. join

8:15 am
in the death. or a mate in the shallow. welcome back 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 has recruited goober and mcdonald's among others to drive up covert shot rates it is all part of president biden's ambitious target to vaccinate 70 percent of adults in the u.s. by the 4th of july with more his to meet. have you heard about these things called covert vaccines yeah apparently they're all the craze right now i mean i wouldn't of heard about them unless i was constantly bombarded with calls to get vaccinated i mean seriously how many people do they think live under rocks we get it you want
8:16 am
to get backs unaided but the advertisements are getting out right annoying and as if there weren't enough of them lift goober 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 vaccination sites while mcdonalds 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 there are still huge segments of the population which are far from convinced and
8:17 am
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 provincials and welcome to legal who take beginning show where i tried to convince my family 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. irish nationalists 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 of the u.k. government for the mistakes of the past but not everybody is convinced by his
8:18 am
sentiment. the government prefer only regrets at least truly sorry for these a variance and how investigations of these terrible events were handled and the crime that the families of had to endure in their fight to clear the names of their loved ones john carlo was a mother of it she was shot by the british army 4 times she was left on the grown for over today that is not an air that is sheer bloody murder while the secretary of state asked the prime minister to come out of hiding come with me meet the polymer farmers and tell them to their faces what he wants to protect the killers where is the prime minister today and why has he not publicly apologized to the palin or the families and to this house will he take responsibility as prime minister and show the victims the respect they so obviously deserves well earlier a court declared that 10 civilians killed in belfast 50 years ago in disputed
8:19 am
shootings involving british soldiers were entirely innocent it found the british army was responsible for 9 of the 10 deaths in the ballad murphy massacre in august of 1971 which included a mother of 8 and also a catholic priest giving last rites to a wounded man however this week the u.k. government and veiled plans for new laws to address the legacy of the past in northern ireland and it does include blocking former soldiers from prosecution for any killings committed before 1900 school friday page deal but former irish nationalist party leader alistair mcdonald does say families of the ballot murphy victims do deserve a detailed investigation and the 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 militant activity there were people trying to orbit their daily lives. some of the people that were shot were people who went to the
8:20 am
end of other innocent people that were shot. it was very brutal and the families have spent 30 years i just hitting for justice what people are looking for now you is some sort of a cunt ability and a genuine apology from the prime minister and except. the army were to play a role here and murderous and their intention would have gone a long way towards them towards old incredibility but a half hearted really most apology. is seen as just out honest basically people are not happy with that people feel that it's not sincere. that was one of the poorest countries on the planet which was wracked by civil war for years hosting a global movie premier is clearly not an every day event but that's exactly what
8:21 am
happened in the central african republic with the curtain raised on and the film it does tell the true story of russian military instructors who were sent to the country to help in the fight against rebel forces these constant thing the risk of was at the premiere. more than 10000 people showed up for the biggest movie time hearing in this central african republic in decades it's a huge event for a country that has long forgotten what entertainment is life here is hard we're talking poverty of salmon tropical diseases like yellow fever and malaria and what seems to be the never ending cycle of news civil wars and violence but tonight these people are going to have fun for the 1st time in a very long time. it's
8:22 am
the 1st ever feature length movie filmed in the country and about the country it's fictional but based on a true story of a group of our russian instructors who came here to help the central government in its fight against rebels and as the russian front users of the movie claim things shown on screen including woeful atrocities committed by local militias and fierce fighting between them and the regular army backed by the russians are not that far from reality on the ground. so about how film it's a documentary of schools like journey through review some artistic license for all the events attributed to real. it was because yes yes there may be some slight differences to what actually happened in certain battles but this is enough to stick approach the actual story about the attempted coup the attempt to seize power are of course based on real events in fact for months ago an event like this was unimaginable because the very real rebels were standing on the outskirts of bondi
8:23 am
in the country's capital and were very close to capturing this city which could have ended any my dad but he's the head of the officers reserve corps contacted our president and according to our military cooperation agreement instructors which are represented by our organisation were selected some soldiers in the central african republic couldn't even disassemble a rifle but they were keen to learn and take their training very seriously and according to local officials the fact that russian answer to the call from president george ryan did 1018 he's also in the movie by the way and it read to send a contingent of around 300 instructors under the u.n. mandate through the war torn country a lifeline to the central african republic has been struggling ever since again to dependents from france and 916 the country is constantly ranked among the poorest in the world even despite having large deposits of diamonds and precious metals the republic has been plagued by civil wars and are now clashes between different rebel
8:24 am
groups the killed tens of thousands and left hundreds of thousands displaced in the past few decades it is still unsafe especially for foreigners and there is an a.t.m. curfew in the c.d.o. bunky and we were also strongly advised not to leave our hotel without security as we find a rock bottom for locals a big movie night like this is also a clear sign that things are looking up at least now there is help that they can keep the violence to the movie screens and not in real life. because of the rush to go r.t. from the central african republic. finally a non stop trip around the globe is a big enough challenge in itself but a group of explorers from siberia here in russia decided to take things to be extreme they attempted the journey with an inflatable boat and it took them years to achieve but you can watch the their documentary in full
8:25 am
a bit later this hour but here's a taste of what they experienced. the flowing in the shallows telling this was to get. vocal kenya. out of muscle pretty normal could be done on a pretty quick year graham the human cost cell phone. at the world as well in the. bottle snake of them around the world well in a much the part of. no one has ever cruised around the globe in an inflatable catamaran before. so no one knew it was even possible. we're different people and on land we work in different areas but we have one thing in common with siberians. the ancients believed the world was a book and those who didn't travel had to read the same page over and over again however if you do decide to grapple with the oceans be prepared for surprises
8:26 am
dangers and sometimes even death. for thieves. there's. only. one. thing to do with it is almost was that. it is a conspiracy to see if you would be. able to bring really need you to. believe is not beyond me off you both think it was. before she thought of you start you feel you for yourself and.
8:27 am
now the u.s. army is seeking to appeal to a new younger generation by getting woke it has released an animated recruitment campaign featuring women quote shattering stereotypes. it begins in california. with a little girl raised by 2 moms other i had a fairly typical childhood i also marched very quality i found a way to prove my inner strength to be chatting sincere you take along the way. i'm u.s. army corporal i am a long march and i answered my calling. well the campaign titled the calling features animated short films with the stories of 5 diverse soldiers from different backgrounds who will serve in the military the army is attempting to appeal to under represented groups in their ranks including b l g b t community ethnic minorities and women military chiefs say they are aiming to
8:28 am
ensure equal justice for all soldiers and to be truly inclusive however reaction to the animated campaign has been face look at this u.s. army recruitment video and try not to laugh you go of this is this the u.s. army or the girl scouts why why has the us army made me shame to have served for them why why a world this collapse in under liberalism collapsing 1st it was the world cia ads now is the u.s. army america's enemies a shaken well this all follows the lead of the cia his recent added feature again agency librarian who has a rainbow l.g.b. symbol displayed on the cia venue the host of the pseudo intellectual podcast lauren chen really the whole campaign though is misguided. i feel like whoever designed this ad 1st off should be fired but they also really don't know who their
8:29 am
target audience is only the progressive left thinks that this is how you appeal to people who are elegy the average person just wants to be treated like anybody else and a lot of my friends who are you know gay or lesbian they see things like this and it comes across as and during it seems like whoever made this ad is more interested in appealing to gender studies majors in college rather than someone who is actually ready and willing to fight and die for their country i think for any job the number one consideration should be whoever is most qualified should be the one who is getting that position and a lot of these diversity initiatives there unfortunately do place things like skin color sexuality or gender of the actual qualifications and i think for people of any race any gender or any sexuality the main motivating factor for doing something like joining the military should be the desire to serve your country and your fellow citizens not because you think it's it's going to be
8:30 am
a nice welcoming cheery place where you can express your gender identity or anything like that because that's not the main goal of the military nor should it be. ok let's just produce news just in because now you have an storey building in the gaza strip which has the offices of several world media outlets along with apartments and commercial companies has been hit by 4 israeli missiles this is the strike here an hour ago the israeli defense forces and manage their intention to strike the building that has the offices of al-jazeera as well as the associated press. that i just pictures we just received from that missile strike of course we'll be back with the latest on the conflict covered taking place in his trial in about half an hour's time along with the rest of the day's world unusual international.
