2:03 am
children inside their homes and it is important to note that israel did not send out free warning for these buildings this board before they bombarded them which is something only 3 sedated as israel used to a warning to people before they attempted to strike at any building there is. i mean a nearby who is living next to my house his wife told him i want to make it easy time to his wife wanted to go to visit her if i don't hear mother so she went to this building deliberating the aid and unfortunately she is now under the rubble and instead of celebrating piccies now under the rubble and they're still searching for her by the way look fuelers now this machinery have been has been trying attempting to to rescue the people leave inside this rubble of this for restore rebuilding in a way that street. and as you see here it's exceed it seems to these people who

2:05 am
the only disobedience will be the victims of those attacks and this is explaining why out of $1200.00 of the injured we have almost 50 percent women and children and this is explaining why there are 52 children among among those who were killed when you see children of 2 years are being killed you cannot you cannot make sure that anybody is going to be safe in gaza strip they 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 for god's sake 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 life the situation is becoming very miserable and hard and tough for. families continue the desperate search for loved ones in the aftermath of the strikes in gaza after ows a scrum. going through debris for instance one father finally being reunited with
2:06 am
his injured child he in france survived a strike on a residential building in which is mother and 4 siblings died though we spoke to the dad. this 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 4 of their uncles cousins and his wife 5 month old baby omar god survived and is now lying in hospital we have children to deserve being bombed with missiles from ethnicity 5 aircraft what have they done to this child by rockets israel what did he do to be targeted by missiles what is happening guys is a crime against humanity house of being bombed in collapse you know residents without warning or notification now only crime is that they are children of gaza religious buildings were also destroyed in the israeli air strikes a mosque in the north of gaza was leveled with surrounding property suffering massive damage to at least 3 civilians are reported to have died there. the 2nd
2:07 am
i'll leave next to the mosque and the street separates marsh partment from it i hug my children and my wife i think you would die from the intensity of the bombing but thank god we were not harmed unfortunately missile killed 3 of my brothers to my sisters and one neighbor i told the jews that you're destroying the mosques of got and not bombing the security forces inside the right children the elderly and women their homes are destroyed the seris severe wind and there is no military presence for the resistance fighters in the 2014 war this house was bombed but it was rebuilt again the cerro it does not fire on the troops and no rockets came out of on what basis was the small destroyed. prime minister benjamin netanyahu has defended his 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 now you know further added he sees no clear end in sight at the moment to the violence
2:08 am
meantime armed groups in gaza continue to target israel with rockets with the southern city of ashkelon a recent focus there a synagogue was damaged in numerous cars destroyed no casualties reported. over in east jerusalem a palestinian rammed his car into israeli police on sunday injuring 6 officers the driver was immediately shot dead after what police called a deliberate attack a mass later praised the driver. across poland polis leader next in speaking to a former i.d.f. officer about his experiences in gaza and more generally the recent tensions. when i'm seeing what's happening now in the gaza border it is killing me from the inside because you know i'm thinking. about what i read through and about their friends i lost fighting for this country for our robes and jews in the same way.
2:09 am
i'm asking myself sometimes if it will all to last part of your hands to the last part of your body the last part of your soul if this situation will continue and i'm uncertain myself every single time that yes as if she spent 6 years in the israeli army 3 of them in gaza where he commanded 130 combat soldiers an i.e.d. improvised explosive device ended his service and almost his life it was 6 in the morning id of 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 and i medically noticed that my left hand was missing there was blood everywhere and
2:10 am
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 hanging all small pieces of skin and flesh for days it was touch and go no one thought he'd pull through $700.00 and nearly a year of intensively habitation has lifted 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 until very complicated operations i risk my soldiers we walk. exposed completely instead of send sending a tank or a missile from
2:11 am
a plane just to make sure that no child all no innocent people will be on display place in the gaza border here and recent video of the israeli army stopping a strike off to seen children playing in the area looking at where they're going to be a bit mad but i don't know you and i could not have a clip of hong kong and a 14 year old child riding a donkey in approaching him in his soldiers they yelled at him a piece not to come any closer after we decided not to shoot this child oh he ran away and the donkey was close to us and it was explode. in. such a powerful way that it. destroyed completely defense we will relocate that really was under shelters and not to me
2:12 am
and not my soldier was harmed by this incident if israel won considering only the power of the i'll me. 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 mass leadership making all the problems as contrasted to tease continue to heat up the prospect of returning to normal life seems in small ways in police here it's in the air. we spoke to an israeli government advisor to talk to some masses violating the law of war and its use of civilians as human shields. international law requires
2:13 am
all combatants israel and hamas to adhere to the principle of distinction distinction means military and civilian forces need to be separated in 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 wall 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 the direct result of hamas is using civilians as human shields at
2:14 am
the same time israel uses every single method to minimize civilian casualties and i should point out that the 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 meanwhile major european cities witnessed pro palestinian protests were thousands to mount in the attacks on gaza stop demonstrators spent israeli flags threw stones and bottles police responded in turn with tear gas and water cannon a number of arrests were made to.

power just becomes agitated and it. equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. to look for common ground. join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport this list i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. again the use of viral videos to smear the black lives massive movement next to
2:17 am
promote conservative ideas that's the accusation interceptors leveled at 8 journalists the online news sites dubbed the riot squad even as they remain relatively unknown the start new group this produced many of the most viral videos of black lives 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 up to george floyd was kilt was nothing but an excuse for mindless rioting they didn't get anything right i could speak on behalf of myself and the smears and the swipes 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 comment so they could have got it right so they call themselves journalists but they don't even ask me any questions about what i documented or what i covered and they put out a story that doesn't even add up. well as
2:18 am
a journalist so denied the claims throat scored reported from the heart of the protests that broke out in the wake of last year's murder of george floyd by a police officer among the examples intercept gave us is a video of a white man being beaten by a black group which the website says was edited to remove him earlier threatening them with a machete one of those targeted by the new site journalist true and has told us the intercepts also guilty of editing videos in its favor. if it wasn't about black lives matter then why did they have the title of the article black lives matter and another point that i'd like to make is they used a lot of footage of black lives matter are separate entities but in this. they used an extensive amount. of footage of vandalizing buildings saying that that's somehow. smearing black white as matter if anything they're smearing likewise matter doesn't make a difference. can it is considering giving away unwanted supplies of the astra
2:19 am
zeneca the job favorite to of his province is the latest episode of are going to grow and show then we talked to one of the scientists who developed the vaccine among other things i did hill explains why he thinks blood clots are emerging. you know what's happening there's a huge amount of research going on my own view is that you need both the world picture and the saigon to show the. country to the us it's a very interesting it appears to be emerging just in the last few weeks but the 2nd dose of vaccine 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 trust this hopefully in the coming months either it was reducing the dose of luck scene or getting a different route or some other maneuver that's overly immediately or why does it
2:20 am
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 what we've got a very small trial 2000 people out of the 60000. were tested in southern africa and all we were able to do was to get a small number of cases miles disease so what was measured in that small south african troll was protection against mild disease which was not statistically significantly present but the numbers which was small so very much. international energy agency's clash with joe biden's team over whether or not the u.s. should spend trillions of dollars accelerating a clean energy transition it comes as the watchdog issues are important draws a gruesome picture of the white house's great ambitions. if we take drastic action
2:21 am
right now to address the climate disaster 3 seated issues in our world by 23 the united states will be 100 percent. kona me with near 0 emission. of the world's clean energy was that probably 7 to turn into a green tizzy and it does sound great wind turbines solar panels electric cars a green new walled 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 a g 8 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 cobalt and i'm talking a whole bunch of them because if you will buy it and thought that the average car
2:22 am
on the street was a gaza while introducing the green energy machines it's a pickle 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 i guess foreign power plant so to feed this we need to mine more a lot more the report alleges that the future president biden wants will see jamaal and explode by 2014 lithium supply will rise by full 1200 percent graphite by 2500 these are some serious numbers in the wild can 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 1. 1 of those 3 produces
2:23 am
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 demand tomorrow the earliest we'd see actual results is $2835.00 the same year that might imagines we'll have 100 percent carbon free electricity an innocent mistake or a political promise to please 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 often generates toxic and retroactive 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
2:24 am
and air pollution like i said green energy not exactly what it says on the box. and where 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 in creating other battery lithium where 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 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 ahead of a price for someone to drive around with a carbon free conscience and a tesla so going green is
2:25 am
a great slogan it's definitely a great way to get you some voters and it's great p.r. for it it's ministration that wants healing but dig a little deeper and biden's clean future has got a whole lot of dirty little secrets. we have a journalist and a campaigner who both say that they report leads to more questions than answers the . only. reason the something. new you know creations and. and. there are a number of about concerns homeless. as well if you take the example. in the trick car if you want the house it is the technology of the future.
2:26 am
if you exclude you. are the new new you have approximately 600 great all. in the look. the biggest issue from a sort of economic perspective that i can see is that if you're running a large business or have been sitting at your blemishes and eek come across the stumbling blocks for example a lack of supply or a flesh is you going to have to have quite a lot of governments the core or around the world in order to get over these obstacles because whichever way you look at these companies sterling to make them up and make money one way or another so it's not it's not a nice government site the u.s. saying now i'm saying right right when you next find out it's. manual energy and then 510 years down the line necessary i've got the money anymore so i think the
2:27 am
strongest will be result one way or the of the other we have to get close to these to these targets but it's going to need government support rather than just short term gesturing which which is what i'm seeing amount. go to the comments section of the stories you see on our site r t they'll com let us know what you think about the stories of the day that we're bringing you and any of us socials too but for now that's it for me kevin though in the 27 minutes past the hour good monday. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the
2:28 am
day or thinks. we dare to ask. time after time see how we're going underground for the final lockdown edition is here in the u.k. draconian measures are raised even further which was told from butts down to injections like the oxford astra zeneca vaccine in part 2 will talk to the lawyer who catalyzed about the murphy inquest into the british parachute regiment killing of civilians but 1st joining me now from oxford is the director of the jenner
2:29 am
institute who worked on the team to create the oxford astra zeneca vaccine professor adrian health thank you so watch and adrian for coming on i'm going to declare an interest i've been doubly vaccinated by your vaccine 1st of all i suppose everyone's talking about the same the invariant and i protected against the indian variant quite possibly yes i think it's likely that you are if you didn't actually see the very long time and. so this might drop to a level where it's more difficult for them to. be in a small number of people and if you close the chance of those you. should i thought about submission in most people you'll be protected against nearly all variants to a substantial extent what i mean by that is you're very unlikely to end up all spittle or severely on well you might have some symptoms but it should be
2:30 am
a mild infection and i know you've helped countless millions of people with with this vaccine and you're working maybe you moved on working on malaria which kills 400000 people a year but just a quick practical question if you experience more painful thing a defect does that mean your immunity immune system is stronger in some ways the good thing if you experience more pain after the vaccine you know i'm afraid not her you'd like to feel you were being rewarded for your pain by having stronger immediacy but that doesn't seem to be look at this with dyslexia or with a large variety of other vaccines the osa immune responses seems once one of them causes your arm to hurt you want to speak feel a bit flu ish the other increases your activities why does it not work so well against a south african variant do we know why because these initial trials and phase are in would earn or sign a farm the chinese one was good your one novak's johnson johnson don't seem to be effective against south africa.
