9:07 pm
a local journalist we are here on the rubbles on the ruins on the debris of the house that used to be the house of a family this is the 30 day of the 8 where one of the mothers that were killed yesterday night came over to this house with her a children hoping to to liberate some of their aides among the firm really as the area strikes has been intense and have been intensified on the gaza strip they came in from the neighborhood. where the israeli tank shells were entrance of fired on the on the east room parts of gaza city they felt that they will be able to get some secure moments some safe moments with this at this house in the center in the heart of gaza city that is that wave from the ball
9:08 pm
deadlines this. indicating that there is no safe place and safe time and the gaza strip for the time being. we were exposed to such powerful shelling but our home was severely damaged but people who were attacked during the showing a simpler civilians. of what happens is a groan and the world just can't remain quiet about it but because it is easier or taken the world is silent is because israel seems to be above the law yet in all of this is a big disaster really a big one imagine a whole family has been killed the album or a site another refugee camp located it located in the gaza strip was also hit by airstrikes. local health officials claim a woman and her 3 children were among those killed since the start of the week at least $145.00 people have lost their lives in gaza including dozens of children
9:09 pm
over a 1000 palestinians have been wounded and earlier we heard from juliette touma unicef's chief of communications for the middle east and north africa. violence should stop violence where every 2 years should come to an end violence will not bring the violence will only bring more violence and with that it means that the children will suffer 1st and they will suffer more state and so violence needs to come to an end only in the past 5 days we have reports. at least 4040 children have been carried in the gaza strip and it's a terrible situation 1000 have been reported injured and we are giving supplies to many can facilities that's what we are focusing on right now and we also were cleaning the water area and we also documents we don't command what's
9:10 pm
happening worth noting that unicef has been present on the ground for more than 50 years in and in the gaza strip and across the state of palestine and so it is important we do have supplies so what we're doing is we're seeing where the needs are so that we are able to send do supplies to those who need the most and the needs right now i'm most in the medical area so that doubt. has workers are able to provide assistance to the wounded among the many children we do hope for them that the violence does not escalate any further and instead call you on quite peace to the conflict to take a step back to deescalate to consume their children to stop the violence and to bring its solution not via violence to this crisis. also on saturday an israeli airstrike destroyed a high rise building housing bureaus of the world media in gaza.
9:11 pm
the 11 storey building which housed both al-jazeera and the associated press was destroyed by missiles it also had private apartments and business offices and was evacuated prior to the attack after a warning from israel israeli army said hamas was using this building to coordinate rocket attacks and prime minister benjamin netanyahu said israel was doing everything it could to avoid civilian casualties be with civilians to vacate the building used by the hamas terror into evidence who vacated the premises before the target was destroyed and that's why you don't hear of casualties from these collapse inter towers because we take special care to avoid the civilian casualties exactly the opposite of hamas a local reporter witnessed the explosions and talks to an al-jazeera journalist who worked there. oh my god that's what's going
9:12 pm
down right now actually being it's being had to grossly right now. it's now being gantz largely. sporadically this means that's it's being already destroyed completely by this raid of warplanes that's what we are witnessing and the whole word is what the scene with us via. t.v. . one more hit. the sides and the building is now dead and it's dead now it's stick by means of israeli besides it's already level to the ground right now at this 2nd as you see on the camera. where reading now for the place full of algae building that
9:13 pm
was a static if you minutes ago before it was a strike in by the israeli warplanes you see here the crowds of people are being a gathering around the building many of these people are those who used to live in this building that's the scene right now and the territory a great deal of anger and rage is ripping through the region to malley ways for the time being now how worse our picture cut now we will be we will not be able to deliver a picture to the world it's very difficult to me to see the semaj it's very hard for many years in working in this place covering the news covering the both the attacks in gaza now there's no brick sure from your office on them or something you know i feel very bad. i want to tell you that we will truly continue to deliver another message we will continue to cover the news in gaza that you will
9:14 pm
continue to tell the the message of the palestinian people and to deliver to the all over the world ok this you will do won't be able to stop our voice by attacking you were building and this won't be easy no we will continue this would be a these this is the their target we're building and destroying it we will continue from anywhere from gaza all the offices of journalists of gaza to the it will be our office number of fatah's revolutionary council which is part of the palestinian parliament dmitri duly and he says there is no end and it to the escalation in sight. of course it's going to continue it's a netanyahu school tical interest to. strengthen the right wing in this will start which is basically worked on fear mongering and that's their shop and i saw an opportunity also to slap back mahmoud up us for indefinitely elections so please floated leave through the 2 leaders and civilians
9:15 pm
3 that writes no i haven't said that you have given also the difference own and undo the crimes and massacres that are committed by this there is rather another group that's what a mess retaliate with anything in any event i believe that there is political interest for both sides to escalate and not to have any sign of ceasefire at this moment in order to gain more political discourse courson of the foreign ministry is still really detached from the world who who's telling who what is he talking about the night of sixteen's or plumbing the apartment buildings shopping centers businesses schools sports facilities in the jungle these pipes there and have said out who i'm going and getting killed i know will like this too much but you cannot compare 9137 and more than
9:16 pm
a 1000 engine you cannot compare that and you cannot prove their b b b b abilities of how master another was a distance actions in gaza with the ability of the strongest state in the middle east protests have also broken out on israel's doorstep with pro palestinian demonstrators and several middle eastern countries heading to the border with israel to condemn the violence. i around 1000 jordanians have been demonstrating on the border with israel for a 2nd day now to show solidarity with palestinians in jerusalem and the gaza strip police clashed with protesters using tear gas to disperse the crowds demonstrators were chanting down with israel as they march to the frontier several anti israel protests also took place in the jordanian capital and other parts of the country. a profile a stinging and rally was also held in lebanon
9:17 pm
a small group of protesters actually crossed the border into israel and were shot upon by i.d.f. forces according to local media a 21 year old protester was hit by israeli fire and died of his wounds in lebanese army and security forces were deployed to disperse the protesters and earlier we discussed the unrest in the wider region with middle east and defense analyst dan fefferman. tensions in the protests and what we see in israel's neighboring countries is shows us how much of a tinderbox the israeli palestinian conflict is to the surrounding region what's important here is that both countries the governments fully understand that it is hamas that must stop the rocket fire that hamas is the instigator and so they're going to try to do as we see everything they can to keep those posts yesterday and suddenly the protesters the people in the street do not understand this dynamic and naturally they're sympathetic to the palestinians in this case it's understandable because the the video footage you see on the news is much more dramatic and much
9:18 pm
more tragic on the palestinian side we hear on our side 2000 rockets is incredibly difficult we know how to defend ourselves because we've poured billions of dollars over the years to build up defensive capabilities to protect ourselves from hamas and hizbollah rockets if need be so that just goes to show you that the government's full well understand who is at fault here and hopefully they will continue to control the protesters as much as possible. in paris police were deployed to break up pro palestinian protests on saturday dozens of demonstrators were detained i find i. think you and the strangers chanted slogans and held banners which read israel is a murderer and the genocide activists had gathered despite a ban by authorities over fears of violence in the french interior minister himself
9:19 pm
called for the protests to be blocked over $4000.00 officers were mobilized in paris while pro palestinian rallies are also taking place in other cities across the country including marsay and leone. now in germany as well clashes and arrests were made in berlin the marches coincide with the annual naacp day which marks the expulsion of palestinians from contested land after the state of israel was created over 70 years ago while in greece pro palestinian supporters rallied next to the israeli embassy in athens offals broke out after around $500.00 activists faced off with police. a top prosecutor at the international criminal court has warned palestinian militants and israel that they may both be subject to investigation in early march this year the court opened a probe into possible war crimes in the palestinian territories with which dates back to the israel the israeli operation in the gaza strip back in 2014.
9:20 pm
the ongoing investigation is looking into crimes allegedly committed by individuals or groups of people as israeli security forces were accused by palestinians and some activists of targeting civilians and critical infrastructure in gaza including schools and hospitals palestinian militants were also accused of firing indiscriminately into israeli civilian populated areas now the 2 sides reacted
9:21 pm
quite differently to the launch of the investigation with palestinians hailing it as quote necessary and urgent while israel rejected the allegations and refused to cooperate altogether with the i.c.c. calling into question its authority and jurisdiction but those sentiments were echoed by our guests earlier. the international community is doing enough think to stop israel they are just what the watching even condemnation the security council is a lot of 11 foot of the palestinians they are hopeless they are helpless and they feel this verdict and this is what led to is available this is it is it only is trying to find a way to the cancer i c c c just a guess as are the other way think of the british prosecutor general to take his place next month and they think that he could change. this edition of the one who was supposed to become. a general thought organ so that listen even to hear of the

9:23 pm
it's all part of the president president biden's ambitious target to vaccinate 70 percent of u.s. adults by the end of 4th of july is the take of artie's dimitry pulp. have you heard about these things called code vaccines yeah apparently they're all the craze right now i mean i wouldn't have 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 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 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
9:24 pm
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 trying to get it done all these attempts have had some effect over the last 5 months there have been significantly less covered backs in skeptics but there are still huge segments of the population which are far from convinced and the media has been trying anything they can surface way these people bombard them with ads appeal to their human decency ridicule them in comedy sketches everything just seems to backfire. on them pretty jewels and welcome to legal who take the given show 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
