i. feel. a. little. this monday morning shocking images of children killed in the crossfire as violence between israel and palestinian militants enters a 2nd week with no end in sight. their children good to 3 of the years or would you do with me to this story to give up the richer to be sort of becomes a sister that is between israel and gaza militants continue with missiles fired from both sides that. i. and his real protests have broken out across europe with some turning violent as thousands call the attacks on gaza to 6.

hey there good morning start a brand new week monday the 17th of may kevin 0 in here with the international for a latest for the next 30 minutes could have a company. israel unleashed a series of new air strikes on the gaza strip monday morning in an ongoing tit for tat after militants fired a barrel of rockets at its neighbor palestinians say at least 192 people have been killed in the coast along clave in the past 7 days including 58 children meantime in israel 10 are dead including 2 youngsters were about to show the aftermath of one strike on gaza which you may well find upsetting. all planes struck several buildings and roads in gaza on sunday with 42 people killed there it was the deadliest single attack since fighting broke out a week ago pictures show

a bomb crater blocking a main road at one point leading to a hospital and those were about to see next multiple children falling victim to the shelling. let's. let's fight almost their children their 23 and 4 years old what did they do that made it necessary to feel that what other targets these are all this rough that they tell us is them miso says small children who did nothing wrong they were terms of pieces. we spoke to the head of a hospital in gaza about israeli attacks. how will the severance pay these readers

are attacking randomly and attacking domestic zones here as you know gaza strip is a tiny strip of land inhabited by 2000000 population squeezed in 360 kilometer square the problem is that when they attack any of us eventually. simply the old the civilians will be the victims of those attacks this is explaining why out of $1200.00 of the injured we have almost 50 percent women and children and this is explaining why 52 children among among those who were killed when you see children of 2 years are being killed you do not you must make sure that anybody is going to be safe in gaza strip we should let the palestinians live free on their land simply they are not convinced that if the people are why they are kicking people outside their own their historical homes who got say just if they let us live in peace we would certainly exist on our land without problem but that way imposing

a siege on too many a population for 15 years what do you expect from those people displaced and they lost hope in everything of this situation is becoming very miserable and hard on top of so starting anew we hope is there for any peace to come go on the ground there gaza place cheerless rami. good morning what is the latest and what's the prognosis for the next few days with your. good morning she'll actually what's going on right now for the time being for the moment israeli warplanes and tank tanks are continuing on the gaza strip in different parts of gaza various regions in gaza have been hit so far since after the midnight yesterday it's after midnight today actually and many many several not several dozens of school resolved as targets have been haters locations have been hit by the israeli warplanes including houses that belong to us as stated by the israeli.

army night house is also different just read the longest reach and the gaza strip like the the coastal history to fall rashid that is one of the of the most modern is treating gaza city have been has been destroyed actually different locations have been hit by the israeli warplanes and these photos the statement by the israeli prime minister and his army leaders that the. attacks on gaza which continual for a few days or several days to come and let me just point here is that not so many casualties among civilians have been inflicted out of these attacks on the gaza strip extra border that if you and your is own only have been inflected. and the striking of homes and streets yes rami israel says it is targeting leaders and infrastructure linked to hamas as far as you know that is basically the

situation here. yes this is this is the statement and the statement as seen on the ground as i have just stated many locations including history it's roads in gaza many houses have been destroyed so there's 3 the army say itself says that 9 houses that belonged that he claims to be belonged to belong to him as leader have been destroyed and this is the kind of infrastructure that israel is hitting. a compound which is a security compound has been here old other facilities c.v.t. and facilities government run facilities have been heads and completely destroyed by the israeli army or israeli warplanes this is a widespread destruction right now across gaza streb that no one knows how long this will continue after israeli israeli there is a stated there which continues to work in gaza until they achieve their goal their

objective of ending the rocket fire from gaza and run a bicycle what ari what's to come next the u.n. now warning this morning there any further fighting could bring an uncontrollable crisis to the region and what's what can garza do to help take the heat out of the situation. i do believe that whatever israeli artillery israeli do for attacking gaza by air by by a land. i would lie here are leaked i would like to refer to a statement of a state different statements by different factional leaders faction groups or a resistance to groups in gaza that they say they will retaliate to whatever israeli actions against the territory especially those against the civilian population of the territory actually the scituate the humanitarian situation is getting disparate getting getting desperate right here in the gaza strip as more thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes to leave their areas and

go with to shelter places like run the schools for now there are about more than $40000.00 palestinians who are being displaced are taking shelter and run schools in different parts of the gaza strip this is a sort of a disparate situation at their humanitarian level and also the border closure the border crossings are being closed the kerem shalom or current crossing is being close which in which palestinians they bring through which the palestinians bring communities and goods as well as if you will to generate their power of the gods of power plant the situation for power is not that good for the time being as about 4 hours or 34 hours in some regions the electricity comes a day period day others are more others less but the situation regarding the electricity is getting wars as there is no fuel coming in the gaza strip it has

been reported that there is a sort of a shipment of a fuel coming out coming in from egypt via the rough terminal but so far we are not witnessing any of those truckloads of of fuel coming in the gaza strip. at the moment i think that's what i can say in a brief about the humanitarian situation yes thanks for bringing us up to speed take a yourself. as a base journalists on the ground there and. yes please. only time families continue the desperate search for loved ones in the aftermath of the strikes in gaza after hours of scrambling through debris one fire that was finally reunited with his injured child a little bit of good news coming out from her the infant survived a strike on a residential building in which his mother and 4 siblings died though we spoke to the dad. just one innocent children were targeted while they were going to visit their uncle and cousins the israeli army bombed their uncle's house which led to

the martyrdom of 4 of his sons and his wife as well as for their uncles cousins and his wife 5 month old baby omar thank god survived and is now lying in hospital which was of children done to deserve being bombed with missiles from 5 aircraft what have they done to this child by rockets israel what did he do to be targeted by missiles what is how many dollars is a crime against humanity how's the being bombed in collapsing on their residence without warning or notification their only crime is that they are children of gaza . religious buildings were also destroyed in the israeli airstrikes while a mosque in the north of gaza was leveled in the surrounding property suffering massive damage at least 3 civilians are reported to. have on the 2nd i leave next to the mosque and the street separates my apartment from it i hug my children and my wife thinking we would die from the intensity of the bombing but thank god we were not harmed unfortunately missile killed 3 of my brothers 2 of my sisters

and one neighbor i told the jews that you're destroying the mosques of god and not bombing the security forces inside there are children the elderly and women their homes are destroyed the seris seville in and there is no military presence for the resistance fighters in the 2014 war this house was bombed but it was rebuilt again the sarah does not fire on the jews and no rockets came out of on what basis was this must destroy it. they says prime minister binyamin netanyahu has defended the country's actions saying israel is doing everything it can to avoid civilian casualties and blaming hamas for using people as human shields he said you know added to the siege that no clear light at the end of the tunnel or the end of the violence yet meantime armed groups in gaza continue to target israel with rockets with the southern city of ashkelon in recent focus there a synagogue was damaged and numerous cars destroyed no casualties reported our correspondent paula slayer spoke to a former i.d.f.

officer about his experiences in gaza and the recent tensions. when i'm seeing what's happening now in the gaza border it's killing me from the inside because you know i'm thinking. about what i read through and about the friends i lost fighting for this country for our robes and jews in the same way. i'm asking myself sometimes if it will all worth it to last part of your hands to last part of your body to last part of your soul if this situation will continue then answer in myself every single time that yes as if she spent 6 years in the israeli army 3 of them in gaza when he commanded a 130 combat soldiers and i improvised explosive device indeed his service and almost his life it was 6 in the morning ideas tanks were waiting to return to

israeli territory and because of sniper threats xiv advanced alone to open the gate separating gaza and israel the id blew up in his face i opened my eyes and you know the pain filled my body medically noticed that my left hand was missing there was blood everywhere and i remember myself trying to reach and apply pressure on the room but nothing happened. and i looked on my right arm i realized exactly why it was all so almost disconnected lying on the flaming hot soil pen you know small pieces of skin and flesh for days it was touch and go no one thought he'd pull through $700.00 surgeries and nearly a year of intensive rehab dilatation has lifting with 10 percent movement in his left arm and a prosthetic arm on his right now he's taken it upon himself to make sure the world understands what it's like for israeli soldiers fighting in gaza i risked my life

so many times just to make sure that no civilians from the palestinian side really hurt and they were very complicated operations i risk my soldiers we walk exposed completely instead of send sending a tank or a missile from a plane just to make sure that no child all no innocent people will be on disposition a place in the gaza border here and recent video of the israeli army stopping a strike after seeing children playing in the area looking for another way that we're going to be married and i don't know you're looking at a lot of women on a pocket of the clock and the members a 14 year old child riding a donkey in approaching him and his soldiers they yelled at him repeatedly not to come any closer after we decided not to shoot this child at 0 he ran away and the donkey was close to us and it was explode. in.

such a powerful way that it. destroyed completely the fence we will rock you that really was. under shelters and not to me and not my soldier was harmed by this incident if israel want considering only the power of the army as there could be ventilation in 24 hours but we're not doing it we're not doing it just because we know there are many civilians that live there i want to say as a former commander in the i.d.f. to the citizens of gaza we love you we want you to live a normal life you need to know that your leadership how must leadership making all the problems as contrasted to continue to heat up the prospect to turn into normal

life. here. we spoke to israeli government advisor who told us a mass in his view is violating the law of war issues of civilians as human shields . 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 itself is a violation of the law of 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' capabilities and the civilian casualties while regrettable are both proportionate and a direct result of hamas is using civilians as human shields 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 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 meantime a major european cities witness pro palestinian protester thousands to monitor the attacks on gaza stop some demonstrators burned israeli flags threw stones and bottles and he said responded with tear gas and water cannon

a number of arrests were made. i. think the. head of the program is one that morning investigative journalists are accused of smearing the blood lives much of movement tell you more whereby.

they are. wrong. just don't call. to shape our. engagement because betrayal. when something find themselves worlds apart. to look for common ground.

again mourning the use of viral videos to smear the black lives matter of movement to promote conservative ideas that's the accusation an online news sites leveled an 8 journalists the riot squad even as they remain relatively unknown the state need group this produced many of the most viral videos of black live smacks of protests over the past year and those images have helped great the false impression relentlessly driven home by fox news some republican politicians that the nationwide waif of protests that erupted after george ward was killed was nothing but an excuse for mindless right saying they didn't get anything right i could speak on behalf of myself and the smears and the swipe they took at me in that specific article and was a 25 minute so many documentaries everything about me in that specific little mini

documentary an article is absolutely wrong and they should have reached out to meet the comics so they could have got it right they call themselves journalists but they don't even ask me any questions about what i documented or what i covered in a story that doesn't even add up. all those 8 journalists have denied the claims through a squad reported from the heart of the b.l.m. protests that broke out in the wake of last year's murder of george floyd by a police officer among the examples intercept gives then is a video of a white man being brutally beaten by a group of predominantly black protesters further it accuses the reporter of editing out the victim threatening protesters with a machete although supporters say the man was defending a store at the time one of those targeted by the intercepts journalist ruin and is told is that he was sights also guilty of editing videos in its favor. if it wasn't about black lives matter then why do they have the title the article black lies matter and another point that i'd like to make is they used a lot of. black lives matter are separate entities. in this.

they used an extensive amount. of footage of and allies in buildings saying that somehow. smearing black white is matter if anything they're smearing likewise matter doesn't make any sense. that is considering giving away unwanted supplies of the astra zeneca the job from favor in 2 of its provinces in the latest episode of going underground that we talked to one of the scientists who developed the among other things adrian hill explains why he thinks blood clots. we don't know what's happening yes there's a huge amount of research going on my own view is that you need both of our own picture and the spy got to show. us it's very interesting it has to be an emerging just in the last few weeks but the 2nd dose of that most people have to as you know doesn't seem to do that's. a clue as to what's going on

i do sing so that we will be able to address this hopefully. coming months either was reducing the dose of that scene or giving it a different route or some other maneuver that sir hopefully immediately or why does it not work so well against a south african variant do we know why because these initial trials and phase are in woodburn or sign off on the chinese one was good your one novak's johnson and johnson don't seem to be effective against a south african variant as well as might be done a very small trial 2000 equal out of the 60000 who been in trials without axing were tested in south africa and all we were able to do was to get a small number of cases miles to see so what was measured in that small south african troll was protection against mild disease which was not statistically significantly crescent but the numbers which was small so very much.

international energy agency's cash joe biden's team over whether or not the us should spend trillions of dollars accelerating a clean energy transmission it comes as the watchdog issues are reported draws a gruesome picture of white house's green ambitions. if we take drastic action right now to address the climate disaster for you soon as you know. 25th the united states will be 100 percent. with your own issues. of the world's clean energy was that probably sent to turn into a green tizzy and it does sound great wind turbines solar panels electric cars a green new wild the problem is green energy not so green i'm not so clean and these thoughts the conclusion of a new report by a top and the policy adviser and it's a it's a blow to the countries on the climate bandwagon who have already committed

trillions to the fight. the building blocks of a clean energy future a mineral z. i'm talking things like nickel kobold and i'm talking a whole bunch of them because if you will bite and thought that the average car on the street was a gaza while introducing green energy machines typical electric car require 6 times the mineral inputs of a conventional car and an on shore wind plant requires 9 times more mineral resources than the us foreign power plant so to feed this we need to mine more a lot will the report alleges that the future president will see demand explode by 2040 lithium supply will rise by full 1200 percent graphite by 2500 these are some serious numbers on the wild card catch up but even if we do have enough it will be

a very insecure future why well more than 3 quarters of critical minerals lie in the hands of 3 produces that's a whole lot of pressure on very few sources what if there was flooding or a war the supply chain shuts down and what if you forgot why. one of those 3 produces something probably the washington's mind is on since china mines more than 60 percent of raw minerals that's one trade war you just can't win. but even if we started building the mines to match the rising to mond tomorrow the ugliest we'd see actual results is 2035 the same year that might imagines we'll have 100 percent carbon free electricity an innocent mistake or a political promise to pay his party and put in the photos and i wonder what those voters would think if they knew the price of that guilt free electricity mining and

mineral processing o'flynn generates toxic and ready active materials these can leak into groundwater causing major health and safety issues including fatalities environmental impacts including biodiversity loss and social disruption due to land use change weather depletion and pollution waste related contamination and air pollution like i said green energy not exactly what it says on the box. and why did the minerals for biden's utopia come from if we take an electric car what does it need a battery what's the core ingredient of a battery lithium why do you find lithium in kopel but who is getting your cobalt the real frontier of the battery revolution is in the unregulated coal mines of the d.r. see what children as young as 7 work in perilous conditions earning a couple of dollars a day to work in narrow tunnels at risk of collapse it's unacceptable for businesses to shrug their shoulders about their supply chains consumers deserve to

know that their cars are not powered by human rights abuses the mining of many minerals is mired in slave labor allegations which will only get worse when demand increases a hell of a price for someone to drive around with that carbon free conscience in a tesla so going green is a great slogan it's definitely a great way to get you some voters and it's great p.r. for an administration that wants healing but dig a little deeper and biden's clean future has got a whole lot of dirty little secrets but we heard from a journalist also a campaigner who both say that the report leads to more questions than answers the problem with the. increasing murders in the summer. you know creations and birth.

and. there are a number of a bit. as well if you take the example. electric car one. technology of the future. if you exclude you. are the new new new you 160. all we were in and looked brand. new new components the biggest expense you can that sort of economic perspective that i can see is that if you're running a large business that happens today that you blemish it and you come across the stumbling blocks for example a lack of supply or a pleasure she's going to have to have quite a lot of stuff in the core or around the world in order to get over these obstacles because whichever way you look at these company still ranks matter up and make

money one way or another so it's not it's not a nice governments like the us saying now i'm saying right right when you next finance. new planets year now and 510 years down the line necessarily have got the money anymore so i think the strongest will be russell $1.00 nearly out the other we have to get these to these targets but it's going to need government support rather than just search short term gesturing which which is why i'm seeing a lot. more from ursula time at r.t. dot com of course for now kevin now in signing off of a good monday. overall this is driven by a tremendous centers and it is better.
