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 their 23 and 4 years old what do they do with me that mystery to give them the richer the peace of. it comes as hostilities between israel and gaza militants continue with missiles being fired from both sides and israel blaming hamas for the escalation and civilian deaths i want to say is for them a command to the citizens of gaza we love you we want you to leave and normal life you need to know that your leadership hamas leadership making all the

problems also anti israel protests break out across europe with some turning violent as thousands called on the attacks on sikhs. good morning start of a new week monday the 17th of may kevin owen here for the next half hour without international and one story dominating as you heard this morning israel unleashing 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 coastal on klav in the past 7 days including 58 children over in israel 10 are dead including 2 youngsters 1st off or about to show the aftermath of one strike on. gaza which you may find disturbing or plain striking several

buildings and roads and cars are on sunday with 42 killed there it was the deadliest single attack since fighting broke out a week ago pictures show a bomb crater blocking a road leading to a hospital at one point. what we're about to show you next multiple children falling victim to the shelling too. but there's a lot of the clothes was just some of the food. was just simply things to say that. you. love for almost and then their children their 23 and 4 years old what do they do that made it necessary to kill them what are the targets these royalists roof so that they target is there miss osa small children who did nothing wrong they return to

pieces this is street of many buildings that be destroyed already by the israeli warplanes including 2 main building the residential buildings this one and the other one next to it as really intensive ever strikes are killing women and children inside their homes and it is important to note that israel did not send out free warning for these buildings just boarded before they bombarded them which is something the new precision did as israel used to a warning to people before they attempted to strike and even think 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 your father and here 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. they are still searching

for him by the way the few hours now this machinery have been has been trying attempting to to rescue the people leave inside this rubble of this forest story building in a well that's 3 and as you see here it's it seems to it seems to these people are trying to risk you risk your operation is a bit difficult as their house has been totally completely destroyed and this machinery is attempting to save what could be saved of the lives of the inhabitants of this particular of this particular building that is the scene for now for the moment in gaza city where destruction is widespread destruction is largescale of was noised innocence who began the rescue operation we've seen a lot we've pulled 4 survivors from the rubble there have been many deaths too we also spoke to the head of

a gaza hospital about the israeli attacks and civilian casualties he calls the situation miserable and says people in gaza are losing all hope. now for the 7th day the israelis are attacking randomly and attacking domestic zones as you know guys a step is a tiny strip of land inhabited by 2000000 population squeezed in 360 kilometer square the problem is that when they are take any of us eventually. certainly the old 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 1000000 children and this is explaining why there are 52 children among among those who were killed when you see children of 2 years of being killed you do not you cannot make sure not sure that anybody is going to be safe in gaza strip they should let the palestinians live free on their land simply they're 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 just great and they lost hope in everything of this life the situation is becoming very miserable in our. families kiran tinley the desperate search for loved ones in the aftermath of the strikes in gaza after hours of scrambling through dead 3 finally one father was reunited with his injured child the infant survived a strike on a residential building in which his mother and 4 siblings did die we spoke with. 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 for his sons and his wife as well as for their uncles cousins and his wife 5 month old baby omar gallaga survived and is now lying in hospital we did was have children done to deserve being bombed with missiles from $35.00 aircraft what have

they done to this child and iraq its israel what did he do to be targeted by missiles what is how many dollars is a crime against humanity house of being bombed in collapse in their residence without warning or notification their 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 at least 3 civilians are reported to have died their. second i'll leave next to the mosque in the street separates mark parkman from it i hug my children and my wife think you would die from the intensity of the bombing but thank god we were not harmed unfortunately missile killed 3 of my brothers sued 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 sarahs civilian and there is no mildred presence for the resistance fighters in the 2014 war this house was bombed but it

was rebuilt again the syria does not fire on the jews and no rockets came out of on what basis was the smallest 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 did he sees no clear end in sight to the violence either 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 and 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 hamas later praised the driver. correspondent paula slee is there she spoke to a former i.d.f. officer about his experiences in gaza more generally and the recent tensions now.

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 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 and i had 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 the my left hand was missing there was blood everywhere around 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 also almost disconnected lying on the flying 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 surgeries and nearly a year of intensively habitation has lift him 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 or no innocent people will be on this specific place in the gaza border here and recent video of the israeli army stopping in a strike after seen children playing in the area looking for a little bit of a big man but i'm going to bring it up because we have a. book with all the comics and the members a 14 year old child riding a donkey and approaching him and his soldiers they yielded him a piece of 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 the fence we will rocky that we 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. could be vanished in 24 hours but we're not doing it we're not doing it just because we know that 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 hamas leadership making all the problems as common trust and if he's continued to heat up the prospect of returning

to normal life seems in small ways as a police here that's aliya. we spoke to an israeli government advisor who told us how mass is violating the law of war and its use 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 meanwhile major european cities witness pro palestinian protests for thousands to monitor the attacks on gaza stop at some demonstrators burned his rainy flags they threw stones and bottles police responded in turn with tear gas and water cannon and a number of arrests were also made. i think.

this is all since national good morning hope. coming up turning green of course seems very reasonable for the environment sake but he listen to other if you dig deep it you may find the price we pay could be worse than pollution the negative effects it's ahead.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. and spearing dramatic development that only.

exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. usage. in. more than 1450000000 coronavirus vaccine doses of now been administered worldwide with a start though emerging between the numbers vaccinated in different countries in the latest episode of going underground and here in r.t. we talked to one scientists who developed the astra zeneca vaccine other matters agent hill explain to us in some more detail why he thinks blood clots now were being talked about. we don't know what's happening yet there's a huge amount of research going on my own view is that you need both of our own picture and that's why i got to. contribute to the us it's very interesting the

you know who's to be 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 some things that we will be able to across this hopefully in the 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 at all why does it not work so well against a south african variant do we know why because there's initial trials and phase and would earn 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 won't be going to very small trial 2000 people out of the 60000 to been in trials with axing were tested in south africa and all are able to do is to get a small number of cases miles disease so what was measured in that small silent

trial was protection against mild disease which was not statistically significantly present but the numbers which was small so very much. the international energy agency's clash to joe biden's team over whether or not the u.s. should spend trillions of dollars accelerating a clean energy translation it comes as the watchdog issues a report that draws a gruesome picture of the white house's green ambitions. if we take drastic action a great way to address the climate disaster 3 seated issues in our world by 24 the united states will be 100 percent. kona me with a net 0 emissions america is the engine of the world's clear. was that probably sent back to turn it 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 its policy adviser and it's a bit of 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 a 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. the report alleges that the future president will see jamal and explodes by 24 to lift him 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 movement 3 quarters of all 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 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 voters 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 fake teletubbies 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 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 the 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 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 administration that wants healing but dig a little deeper and biden's clean future has got a whole lot of little secrets. we have from journalist charlie boyle who told us the report leads in his view to more questions than answers the. the biggest issue from that sort of economic perspective that i can see is that if you're running

a large business. and you come across the stumbling blocks for example a lack of supply or inflation issues you can have to have quite a lot of structure at the core or around the world in order to get out of these obstacles because whichever way you look at these companies. make money one way or another so it's not it's no use governments like the u.s. saying now i'm saying right now it will generate finance. manual next year now 510 years down the line necessary and got the money anymore so i think these problems will be resolved $1.00 way or the out the other we have to get close at least to these targets but it's going to need government support rather than just search short term gesturing which is what i'm seeing a lot you know a lot to sort in that well that's what we're talking about so far if we're to find out more of what we're on about today are to comment section have your say as well about any of the stories you see there or check out our socials but coming to 25

minutes past the hour kevin are in the team wishing you a great monday. the new gold rush is underway in ghana thousands of ill equipped workers are flocking to the gold fields hoping to strike it rich here the good. as they are by those that work children are torn between gold digitization was very poor i thought i was doing my best to get back to school which side will have the strongest appeal. new york is really what america is about.

when our mayor took our face he was elected because of his campaign on our city being a tale of 2 cities the haves and have not and those who have not are usually the ones who wind up being very hard and the city has always wanted to forget about iowa city has wanted to forget about the people who are buried there wanted to forget about the fact that there is a potter's field but there is a place where difficult stories are hidden the fact they were using inmates to maintain this act of burial site where 1000000 souls are buried where so much of new york city history is fareed is document of the inequality that existed in this city for centuries. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us in the

world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see event. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation for community. are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere. direct. what is true what is great. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or remain in the shallows.

l. look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. must obey the orders given by human beings except when such orders to conflict with the 1st law show your identification or should be very careful about official intelligence and the point obesity is too great. ever mention. names on theories chopping with artificial intelligence will summon the demon. obama's protect its own existence let's go next instant.

hello and welcome to cross talk we're all things we can see. i'm peter lavelle historically speaking the cold war was a great ideological confrontation of western liberalism versus soviet communism according to joe biden the great geopolitical struggle of our time is democracy versus a caucus leave for by we are in another great ideological struggle but there is a difference the west particularly the united states is the only ideological actor . cross talking geopolitics i'm joined by my guest rick ross off in chicago he is an anti nato analyst and a contributor to antiwar dot com in bath we have bruce gagne he is the coordinator of the global network against weapons and nuclear power in space and in

charlottesville we cross to david swanson he is the executive director of world beyond war all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want i always appreciate david let me go to you 1st in charlottesville . going after my introduction right here listening the to the president the united states we're in a great ideological struggle against autocracy here very much in tune with what we experienced during the cold war which i remember very well and it was an ideological struggle but is are we living in in 2021 in an ideological struggle on the on the world stage what's your take go ahead do i think mostly in the fantasies of us propaganda i think the reality is more a struggle between chrissie and oligarchies there's no democracy to be seen you know there's no nobody in the u.s. public has had a right of vote on whether to have a great battle against the top.
