officer about his experiences in gaza more generally 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 ups and jews in the same way. 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 really 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 d. improvised explosive device ended his service and almost his life it was 6 in the
4:10 am
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 all the pain filled my body i medically noticed that 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 and i realized exactly why it was all so almost disconnected lying on the flaming hot soil hanging all small pieces of skin and flesh so 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 left 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
4:11 am
so many times just to make sure that no civilian. from the palestinian side really hurt and in a 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 disputes if it plays in the gaza border here and recent video of the israeli army stopping in a strike after seen children playing in the area looking to get away that we're going to get married and i don't know if you know women are. going to come out and 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 that we decided not to shoot this child at all he ran away and the donkey was close to us and it was explode. in.
4:12 am
such a powerful way that it. destroyed completely the friends we will relocate 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 finished 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 come interested to continue to heat up the prospects of
4:13 am
a turn into normal life seems a small way is in police here and syria. we spoke to an israeli government advisor to he says hamas 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
4:14 am
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 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. made here pain cities witness pro palestinian protests over the weekend with thousands demanding the attacks on gaza stop and some demonstrators burned israeli flags threw stones and bottles police responded with tear gas and water cannon on
4:15 am
a number of arrests were made. one of the other. the easy. this is on since national good morning kevin coming up turning green of course seems very reasonable for the environment but if you dig deeper you may find the price we pay is worse than pollution this negative affects the stories coming up.
4:16 am
the crisis since the crisis began if that's the way used to be now there is just one crisis on top of another you don't know where one starts and one stops and it's just a multiple crises stacked up you know right there and you're thinking to yourself my goodness gracious what happened. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. thinks . we dare to ask.
4:17 am
again france's top cop for slander todd offices for demanding the president protect the police from holds of massed individuals frederick vo the claiming they're bound by judy of restraint after $93.00 signed a petition claiming attacks on police stations are spreading with impunity it's good lace on the shelves in paris for a small out of this role reversal happened the people set up to protect in the end needed protection themselves by the sound of it. that's right how many police officers apparently feel this is another warning the security threat faced by france by what's described as being a violent minority we've seen everywhere about the. warning from around 100 retired
4:18 am
police officers now we've had warnings in the last few weeks from retired generals and also from currently serving soldiers that there's a looming civil war here in france but what's different on this occasion is unlike back then when the majority didn't give same names didn't give their ranks the police officers with this elected this petition to president not going to have not just signed their names but also the ranks of the chief before they left office they calling for affective measures to be able to recall the country. today the authority of the state is undermined by violent minority laws are no longer applied in the last 7 years of the republic the increase in attacks and the violence directed against guardians of the public peace demonstrators rejection of all republican values or customs and our model of society in entire sectors of our nation. have outlets and not just highlights 2 recent attacks that saw the deaths
4:19 am
of police officers in graham lake which was being treated as a terror attack and also just off the bat in having your where a police officer was shot as you try to stop a drug raid but it also talks about the continuing attacks the open attacks on police officers generally on their cars and also police stations which it says is now becoming a regular occurrence just have a look at the last few months some of the attacks that have happened around france on french police stations. 6 2 long. before.
4:20 am
well the petition is calling for reform of the pima code in front saying it wants the sentences to reflect the severity of the crimes that have been committed and not only has it gone to more than 40000 signatures to date it's also attracted the attention of police is a top officer here in france this is said to be clear who is unhappy with this letter from this retired police officer saying that he does more to damage the institution of the police than it does to strengthen its and he's talked to them about the idea of looking at what the government is implementing at the moment saying that these measures should to make things better for the police seize perhaps referring that to the controversial global security law which is being passed by parliamentarian's but this will get back to fighting to be some quo ante it separatism law and the fact that the prime minister joe pass that in the last week or so said that he would be looking for tougher sentences against those who attack and kill police officers but despite that of course this reflects
4:21 am
a war you did issue this is not the 1st time in the last month or so that the warnings about the security right here wrong this time coming from retired police officers previously so it is retired generals and all of this comes just a vehicle for the next presidential election the presidential election where security is seen as being one of the concerns all the electorate and just to put this in context how much of a battle this could be for manual macroeconomy seeking that 2nd term a recent poll shows that security says that she is on life for the center of their ranks in the pen if it is a runoff against her and president might go on in that 2nd round so really you can imagine that is a lot of consternation immediately say at the moment about what we can do to perhaps stem the tide of people deciding that they not doing enough to protect the security services. facing it on many fronts for the moment is no thanks bring us up
4:22 am
to speed there from parish. more than 1450000000 corona virus vaccine doses have now been administered worldwide with a stark gap of merging 2 between the numbers vaccinated in different countries it's happening as problems are mounting for one of the main players to canada is now considering giving away the unwanted supplies of the astra zeneca vaccine after the job held from favre in 2 of its provinces and indian easier reporting distribution of a batch of the jobs to the death of a young man in the latest episode of going underground on this channel we talked to a scientist who developed the astra zeneca vaccine among other things adrian hill explains why he thinks blood clots and stories of them are now emerging. 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 lecturers and the spy got to. contribute to the us it's very interesting that
4:23 am
it appears 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 songs that we will be able to impress this hopefully in the coming months either it 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 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 might 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 we were able to do was to get a small number of cases miles disease so what was measured in that small silent
4:24 am
trial 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 exonerating a clean energy transition it comes as the watchdog issues a report that draws a gruesome picture of the white house's green ambition. if we take drastic action a great way to address the climate disaster for you see the nation. 25th 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
4:25 am
clean and these thoughts the conclusion of a new report by a top energy policy adviser and it's a bit 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 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 a lot will the report alleges that the future president will see jamaal and explode by 2040 lithium supply will rise by full 1200 percent graphite by
4:26 am
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 that washington's mind is on since china mines more than 60 percent of raw 'd 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 2035 the same year that might imagines we'll have 100 percent carbon free electricity an innocent mistake or
4:27 am
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 o'flynn generates toxic and radioactive 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 what do 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
4:28 am
mines of the d.r. see where 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 a hell 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 journalist charlie boyle who told us the report in his view leads to more questions than answers them. the biggest issue from a sort of economic perspective that i can see. if you're running
4:29 am
a large. leverage 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 stuff and that's the core all round the world in order to get out of these obstacles because whichever way you look at these companies. make money $1.00 way or another so it's not it's no use governments like the u.s. saying now by the same run rate we're not signed that's. when you build only c.n.n. 510 years down the line necessary and got the money and. i think the strongest will be result one will be on the other we have to get close to these to these targets but it's going to need government support rather than just search short term gesturing which which is what i'm seeing them are always what on topic with the big stories of the day check it out dot com as well go to the comments section let us know what you think about any of the stories we're bringing you and of course our social media outlets too but for now at noon covered 30 minutes past the hour
4:30 am
thanks for checking in with our international and me kevin no end of a great rest of this. crisis and so the crisis began is that the way used to be now there is just one crisis on top of another raid on our one starts and one stops and it's just a multiple crises stacked up you know right there and funny and you're thinking your son my goodness gracious what happened. one day with my friend in her living room.
