important to know that israeli airstrikes and on the gaza strip overnight have also hurt is to return roads throughout ringback the gaza strip as the case with this street where this is st and where the street and the heart of gaza city that is the situation for the moment israeli airstrikes over the area have all not only concentrated on residential compounds in their houses but also in history and roads and that's that's what's going on for the time being. used here a cure and found among victims of missile strikes this week on saturday 10 people were killed near the outshouting refugee camp in gaza 8 of the dead there were children to facility is the 3rd largest refugee camp in gaza and is known as the peach camp pretty close proximity to the mediterranean coast victims were taken to a local hospital where there distraught parents gathered

a warning you might find these images i think take. the. i. wear these ready defense forces have stressed that all operations are directed at rocket launch sites and claim that hamas deliberately places its military infrastructure in civilian areas israeli military insists they do take all possible precautions to avoid harming civilians during the operations and also on saturday an israeli airstrike destroyed a tower block house in the garden or offices of a number of world media. it also contain private apartments and businesses and is evacuated price the attack after an hour's warning from israel israeli army claimed that hamas was using the building to coordinate rocket attacks un's head expressed dismay that over growing

civilian casualties in the israeli palestinian conflict and nash that the destruction of the major offices in gaza we talked analogy syria journalist who worked in that building. 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 this place covering the news covering the walls the attacks in gaza now there's no break sure from engineer of a son in law something you know i feel very bad. i want to say that we will we will continue to deliver our message you will continue to cover the news in gaza that you will continue to tell the the message of the palestinian people and to deliver to all the all over the world ok this you will do won't be able to stop our voice by attacking you or building and this won't be easy no we will continue this would be of these there if the of this attack were building and destroy it we

will continue from anywhere from gaza all the offices of journalists of gaza it will it will be our office. because there's also foreign ways of rockets at israel so you the anti missile defense system called the are in dome there was stopping most of those from getting through overnight there was a large scale rocket attack on central and southern israel in tel of if the sound of air raid sirens and explosions filled the air with rockets lighting up the night sky midnight that came immediately after a 2 hour ceasefire declared by the militant group hamas came to an end now on saturday to a round of rockets was fired at a television suburb claiming the life of a 55 year old man according to reports he was unable to make it to a bomb shelter in time israeli military says more than 2000 rockets have been fired from gaza into israel since monday around half of which was were intercepted by the missile defense system in turn 350 fall in on the gaza strip now meanwhile major

european cities have witnessed violent pride palestinian protest with thousands calling on israel to stop the use of force in gaza demonstrators burnt flags and threw stones and bottles that police who responded with tear gas and water cannon a number of arrests were made. was it was uttered high. i. was a while. i i i. well the conflict is that also sparked tensions between israeli arabs and israeli jews who have lived side by side for years. and these jerusalem pro palestinian demonstrators clashed with police who kind of

deployed against the crag's while police removed pollutants which had been put up in the colors of the palestinian flag. between israel and gaza as they were going so far to the possible distant family. in the city. palestinian city of hebron meanwhile in the west bank it's also a scene of rest spilling on to the streets there this week tires were burned in the roads as protesters clashed with israeli so what has this been for them some of the cities in the west bank to.

sleep. and violence has flared within israel so i want thursday some disturbing images disturbing images sorry emerge from the city of battle an arab driver was assaulted by a mauled he was seen being beaten after reportedly being pulled from his fear when trying to flee party support asli sent this report from the city in the israeli town of packed young which is just to the south of jaffa and outside tel aviv should be showing students have gathered here and they also mashing cars that presumably they think belong to arabs there's also an arab owned ice cream shop down the road and the glass has all been destroyed be ironed fittings in front of the building they've come you know with the israeli flags to show their support and this is. a tiny ation to the finance we've witnessed in the last few days which has been predominantly arab on jewish violence so we cut the police are firing stun

grenades and trying. to police firing stun grenades and they trying to get people to run away from here. you can see the security officers coming down the road and they are trying to push the crowd further and further away from here and a lot of the youngsters have moved down the road of that they have finally come in to try and deal with the situation and bring order and calm back to back to yum. yes i think that you're moving on and you know the arab driver wanted to drive into us he pressed the pedal to the metal and wanted to kill us luckily he couldn't do it because another car stopped him because otherwise he would have killed us this is our country and they come to kill us in our own country arabs who live here want to kill us no small children died in the streets because of the arabs now we've

come here and the army and police are against us. we can't continue like this is not good with the jews are doing is not good for the arabs are doing the government isn't doing anything so this is what's happening each side is doing what they want for 70 years we've been good neighbors and it's a big bt that is happening now we have to make sure the things remain good between us this can't here was being driven by an arab men they took him out of the car and in an attempted lynch bets he has been taken to hospital in the same happened over here with all the sorrow over here the same happened with this car down the road here and now the attentively and share tensions time i they've been also shouting at the journalists and she. which channels we all belong to so we're going to make our way out of here it's not the safest place to be here r

t. well throughout the week israel has been amassing troops along the gaza border having called up thousands of reservists and that has led to fears of an imminent ground invasion of the home a shrewd guard to strip israeli troops they haven't entered the enclave although artillery and tanks join the air units and firing into the strip let's discuss all this now have a good review sheen contoured of it she's an israeli law professor very welcome thanks for your time this evening coming on to r.t. i know it's your profession so let's just start with the international law here and i always says look we're acting in self-defense but given the civilian death toll we've seen in gaza and also the latest strikes we've seen today some are saying that look you know israel is going too far what would be your view on that. are completely wrong so i think it's important to start with what international law says international law requires all combatants israel and hamas to adhere to the principle of distinction distinction means military and civilian

forces need to be separated and clearly marked so that both sides can target each other's military without killing civilians mixing the military amongst the civilians putting military targets military operations rocket facilities in or in proximity to civilian targets is a violation of the law war and that's what hamas is doing on the other hand in fighting a war the law of war and the geneva conventions understand that it's impossible to have a war without civilian casualties and the rule is those civilian casualties need to be proportionate to the military objective and right now israel has destroyed much of hamas as capabilities and the civilian casualties while regrettable are both proportionate and a direct result of hamas. using civilians as human shields critics who are making this argument essentially said that if hamas hides behind civilians they should be able to fire rockets indiscriminately at israeli civilians and israel just has to

hold up its hands. because they're hiding behind civilians at the same time israel uses every single method to minimize civilian casualties and i should point out that the civilian casualties are relatively limited so far so far the vast majority of people killed in these operations have been hamas fighters . that really truly missing 200 dead we know that whatever 50 children the dead 26 dead today and we had her local reporter in this occasion there was no actual warning shots from from israel and now you have all just got one warning shot the fact that israel sometimes warns people to the back away at sites so that it can destroy empty facilities and remove them from use does not mean it can touch the target it can't target militants without a warning no other country gives a warning this is a special in and israel does not need to give a warning every time hamas fighters are entirely unreliable but it seems that the

vast majority are indeed. hamas fighters and again what's required is only proportionality international law does not say that you know solution you can't have collateral damage because every war has a program pool in the 2nd chechen war some estimates of 200000 civilians were killed in fighting between russian and chechen forces. is that proportionate is it not each strike needs to be analyzed individually but no one has ever fought a war without civilian casualties and in this case hamas wants to have civilian casualties to generate the kind of coverage that have been that we've heard for the past 15 minutes because they would obviously deny that given that we're just a week into this conflict now you side looks like it's going to back down from your opinion how long can this go on for. well i think in one way or another it's going to go on forever that is the israel is probably not going to remove

a mosque because removing a mosque requires talking about reoccupying taking control of gaza and of course israel dramatic israel controlled gaza from 1907 until 2005 when it if it did every single jew living there to give the palestinians what they wanted territory with no jews that they could govern themselves that was supposed to bring peace now it's clearly failed it's clearly failed but at the same time after the trauma of the victim jews from there it's unlikely it's unlikely that is won't take them in control so what this is is it's a permanent sore in israel side a situation that they cannot permanently rectify and they cannot permanently fix and also a reminder of what happens when land is given to. the people who are going to elect a terrorist government and so this this particular round of fighting is very good and this week there will be more rounds of fighting because a mosque will remain in power supported by european donations to the united nations

relief works agency which is largely staffed by hamas operatives by foreign by foreign money they're not going to go out of business and the people in gaza are only going to suffer more and the people of israel are on going to suffer more this i mean it's very hard isn't it to pinpoint exactly where these tensions came from for this particular conflict that many people said look it was events in east jerusalem many of it should've of palestinians that it knew of u.g. think that there won't be any pace then in this region of the world until land disputes as so often it sounds a lot about it's going to be very unlikely it's very easy to pinpoint where the start of 1st love palestinians have been evicted what is being discussed is a support case that has been going on for 40 years where israeli property owners are attempting to. exercise property rights against palestinians who do not own the property who are squatters and who refuse to pay rent after 40 years there has not still been an addiction order but lead tensions clearly arise from the hamas

charter which calls for work and to israel so when you have a government that calls for the ends to israel it's not surprising that they periodically attempt to do that. and you know until hamas gets itself a different ideology. and that he while it hears to the ideology of eliminating israel of course there's going to be conflict with israel because israel does not want to be eliminated i came to control of it we're going to have to leave it there but good to get your perspective on all of this that was usually in control of it she's an israeli will confess a thanks for coming on. now a tragic event shook the russian republic tatarstan on tuesday a man opened fire on a local school in the capital because than 9 people died including 7 students in 2 teaches well more than 20 others were injured in the attack here's a timeline of high the shocking events unfold.

let's look for the clip key i was in the close in the 2nd floor we heard bangs that sounded like explosions 1st we closed the classroom doors and not let the children get near the windows we told them to sit down along the walls and try to calm them down to live on the street the man with a gun ran into the classroom and started shooting people who didn't shelter his name but before he did this which heard an explosion right on to our classroom so that our teacher told us to hide under the desks the little question what it was a mass last segment we heard a shot and at 1st we just thought that it was furniture being smashed and then the shooting came closer the door was ajar and i saw that the man had a fall and the teacher began to hold the door shut we did not have a key and she told us to run we were on the 1st floor one window was open and we

all rushed it will fall and in the show other but no one was hurt badly there were no deaths. was. basically. in the city it is because this is you know. if. it's for your good for you what's going to happen. here.

i feel really good i mean i don't know about what the law. is see from the world is going to polish the numerous ambulances emergency crews and fire trucks were at the site later isaura teacher covered in blood getting pulled out of school and about 4 children being carried away. one painful in a critical condition where airlifted to moscow for specialist treatment 2 children have undergone surgery with medics still fighting for the life of a boy who was shot in the chest up to 15 people remain in hospitals in cars that are said to be in a stable condition down hawkins spoke to some of those who were caught up in the

tragic events. shock pain grief on the faces of all those who came to pay their condolences the images of children jumping from windows of floors covered in blood shocked the world hearing the accounts firsthand was worse. before we came to school as usual heavy thing was fine when the class began the teacher called me to the blackboard and just a few minutes later we heard several explosions but no one was concerned and the class continued only some time later we had the school director telling us to me to close everything and leave the room. everyone was deeply shocked we owe our lives to our math teacher who saved us she ran to the door and locked it she was holding it very firmly alina and still seem in a state of shock and they were among the lucky ones for them the nightmare is over

though nobody can say just how long the mental scars will remain for others the nightmare has just begun. its race to the school when he 1st heard news of the attack hoping he would see his sister evacuated to safety and bring her home she was too late coming out of there which is the doors of the room where my sister was together with her classmates weren't locked so the attacker broke into the room and shot the students. her name was and mine is that's because our parents wanted our names to sound similar she studied in a form she was 15 when she was a very resolute girl she had big plans for the future to finish the 9th form and get an education and i teamed zal thought nose on the day school staff did all they could to protect the pupils risking it and some losing their own lives in the process he would be the only one asking questions though could more have been done

to prevent this tragedy and how could it be stopped from happening again. we should probably strengthen the school security as now we have mainly elder people working there also we should organize drills like the ones for fire safety and explain to children where they should go and hide if such tragedies happen. the bloodbath in school 175 how to clear a villain but also some unlikely heroes the son of the local imaam escaped the killer who broke right into his classroom only to run back into danger to rescue his injured younger brother who thankfully survived despite being badly hurt. after we were taken out of the school to safety i went to search for my classmates the ones who managed to survive when i found them i went to search for my younger brother when i failed to find him i searched for his class teacher and then

together we put my brother in an ambulance and the teacher sent me with him to there were 4 people with me in the ambulance one was my classmate who jumped out of the window on the 3rd floor to escape that nightmare the other was my brother who had his chest injured also there was a boy with his lip badly hurt by a glass fragment and one girl was sitting there with her hand almost torn apart. everyone i spoke to had one question why how was such cold merciless cruelty possible towards anyone let alone children. was confident that good prevails over evil and that khazan will emerge from the nightmare stronger. this tragedy has united everyone regardless of their ethnic origin or religious belief people from other cities are coming to mourn with us we must stand together in order not to witness such events in the future he invites us to evening prayers at the mosque today and tomorrow or holy days for muslims. or breaking the fast

understandably though the focus of today is on one of the darkest days in total starnes modern history. outside crowds continue to turn up an endless stream and aside from the pain on this day of mourning the term a nation is also present not to let evil break the city spirit which today has shown its strength. daniel hawkins r.t. . on the design shooting suspect has been identified is 19 year old in the house gallery for years he was a former student of the school where the attack happened the perpetrator used a pump action shotgun for which he had a license well c.c.t.v. footage was posted online which did show the suspect brazenly carrying the gun all the way to school he can see the routine reportedly took from his house it was

a journey that took him just over 10 minutes however questions do remain as to why no passers by called police to alert them it is one of a number of issues the incident has raised including what might have led the suspect to carry out such an attack or those that know him say that it went totally against his character on wednesday the suspect pleaded guilty and was remanded in custody people in the courtroom did say he showed no signs of emotion during these proceedings psychiatric test will be carried out to assess his mental state. so that brings you up to date you can watch the week here in r.t. good to have you company will be back with more stories from the last 7 days and about half an. eye like host question for the yes there actually listens to the yes and then react to that that's it folks that are still working i've got a new show. hello

everyone let's take a look at today's menu to see what we're serving up on the press. israel defends herself from hundreds of rockets being fired into the country by the terrorist group hamas and the media does what it always does blame israel will show you it's national police week and our men and women in blue continue to face physical attacks on the street and verbal assaults from the media as a mcdonald's author of the war on cops will join us how to cope with pandemic really stark we'll speak to one journalist who's doing his best to investigate that question and why is the president being told by his people not to take questions shouted to him from members of the media your eyes are bad and i'm going to be answering those questions forcibly she i wonder i have some thoughts on that for deserved.
