people are why they are kicking people outside their own their historical homes who got sick just if they let us live in peace we would certainly exist on our land without problem but that way imposing guesses 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 hours of scrambling through debris a little good news for one family one father finally reunited with his injured child that infant survived a strike on a residential building however his mother and 4 siblings died 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 dr month old baby omar and god survived and is now lying in hospital we have children

the resistance fighters in the 2014 war this house was bombed but it was rebuilt again and the syria does not fire on the troops and no rockets came out on what basis was the smallest destroyed plane minister benjamin netanyahu has defended his country's actions saying israel is doing everything it can to avoid civilian casualties and blaming a mass for using people as human shields added he sees no clear end in sight to the violence at the moment 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 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 shot dead after what police called a deliberate attack a mass later praised the driver. our correspondent paula slim next and speaking to
5:09 am
a former i.d.f. officer about his experiences in gaza more generally of late and the current 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 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 more so to last part of your hands to the last part of your body 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
5:10 am
morning i.d.f. 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 there 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 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 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
5:11 am
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 a plane just to make sure that no child or no innocent people will be on disposition a place in the gaza border here and recent video of these maybe only stopping a strike after seen children playing in the area looking to clean up with a big man are going to play a clip of qana. and 14 year old child riding a donkey and approaching him and his soldiers they yelled at him a piece of not to come any closer after we decided not to shoot this child
5:12 am
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 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 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
5:13 am
problems as come interesting if he's continued to heat up the prospect of turning to normal life seems a small way is in police here and syria. the rice previously worked for the israeli. defense forces he's joining us now on the line sir thanks for making the time to be with us today this is hugely unfortunate for want of a better word on all sides but the allegation here is considering the high civilian death toll that the israeli response has been out of proportion what are your thoughts of that allegation well 1st of all all the stories you told are equally tragic but let me make 2 point. 5 number one is the i.d.f. standing order the only allowed to attack military targets not everyone will know what the target was because some. intelligence information but there have been traditional on attacking civilian targets as opposed to what will be. the 2nd
5:14 am
thing is that even when they attack a military target they do everything they can to verify the minimum number of civilians or no civilians preferably in the mess and unfortunately because hamas is placed all its military installations in the middle intentionally in the middle of the civilian life of gaza it's incredibly difficult now the final point to your question in warfare there is no requirement for proportional i know people claim that but that's an invention. in warfare you are allowed to respond against military targets as long as you're only targeting military targets and as long as hamas fires at our cities towns women and children we will have to defend. ok israel. as it says is solely targeting hamas military sites why so many
5:15 am
residential buildings being destroyed then and more and more now we're hearing on the last couple of cases the last a day or so there's been no prior warning why no prob warning again is that a mistake a war. well i actually don't know all you need to understand that there is no requirement for your final warning to enemy soldiers or arrest however israel invented this prior warning in order to minimize collateral damage though your problem is when you give right awarding yes i also run the way the military piloting so obviously does the very slight balance you need to make here but the 2nd point on what you just. i need to retreat when the sun must decide based all of its military if it needs inside civilian buildings and hiding the behind the civilian they create an intentional dilemma for i don't know and i am back which obviously when i look equal or what we do fire back you will see the tragic children are left for the incidental and tragic death for hamas it's a win win either we don't care that all you'll show no pictures in both. the un
5:16 am
warning things are about to spiral out of control if it continues for the next couple of days how close is this to the precipice of a spate i actually think it's headed in the direction i think. some us apprised this around with its initial attack when he attacked tel aviv in all of the places i spent hours in in a bomb shelter because my buildings next to me were being hit by missiles but what happened then that we responded with force and now 8 i think they want the fighting to stop and my guess is that will stop over the next few days i don't think we're nearing a precipice i think we nearing the end of the cost of this because people are tired of it because of the physical grind out of this war because of the political input . good question. from there is no i can't speak for hamas obviously but from the israeli side there's a tactical and strategic agenda that tickle agendas obviously to hit and then me
5:17 am
terrorist targets and pay for about the strategic agenda is to convince hamas that it's never a good idea to start another war this road that they tried to start so it's maybe that the israeli side is coming into the situation where they think the message has been clear enough out of the tactical strikes have been effective it off i don't know i can't speak for hamas what was going through their heart and so your prognosis for the next couple of days you think this is going to carry on for a while next 2448 hours and then come down again you know my guests and you know i've been proven wrong before my guess is that we have around 2 or 3 more days of frantic fighting and unless something dramatic and catastrophic happens my guess is that the combination of international pressure that's the fact that both sides are suffering we need both sides to cease fire over the next few days thanks making the time to be with us much appreciated thank you. the only time major european cities
5:18 am
witness pro palestinian protests for thousands demanding that the attacks on gaza stop some demonstrations people burnt israeli flags they threw stones and bottles police responded with tear gas and water cannon and a number of arrests were made. was was was. a who. was. i was was. france's top cop slammed her tight offices asking for more help for the police it's just under 100 now signing a petition to the president asking that stations be protected from hordes of must individuals. reports from paris. this is another warning the security
5:19 am
threat faced by france by what's described as being a violent minority we've seen everywhere that's the warning from around a 100 retired police officers that we've had warnings in the last few weeks from retired generals and also from currently serving soldiers that there is a looming civil war here in roles but what's different on this occasion is unlike back then when the majority didn't defend names didn't keep their ranks the police officers with this letter this petition to press him on that not just sign their name but also the ranks of the chief the full left office they calling for affective measures to be able to recall the country today the authority of the state is undermined by violent minorities laws are no longer applied in the last several years of the republic the increase in attacks and the violence directed against guardians of the public peace demonstrators rejection of our republican
5:20 am
values our customs and our model of society in entire sectors of our nation never like to not just highlights 2 recent attacks that saw the deaths of police officers in graham lake which was being treated as a terror attack and also just off the bat in avignon where a police officer was shot this is trying 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 it's now becoming a regular occurrence to. look for. crimes that are being committed not only has it gone it moving. 1000 signatures to
5:21 am
date it's also attracted the attention of police is top officer here in france this is. who is unhappy with this letter from this retired police officer saying that he does more to damage institutional the police than it does to strengthen it 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 he's perhaps referring there to the controversial global security law which is being passed by parliament ariens but it's not yet back to fighting to do the simple separatism rule and the fact that the prime minister passed in the last week or so said he would be looking for tougher sentences to attack and police officers but despite that of course this reflects a war issue this is not the 1st time in the last month or so that the warnings about the right you're wrong this time coming for which i just previously soldiers
5:22 am
and retired generals to really you can imagine there is a lot of consternation immediately easy 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. international agencies clashed 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 a report that draws a gruesome picture of the white house's green ambitions. if we take drastic action right now to address the climate disaster for you see the nation. right 2050 the united states will be 100 percent. clear to me with near 0 emission. of the rules clean energy. 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
5:23 am
clean at least that's the conclusion of a new report by a top energy policy adviser and it's a bits of 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 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 the norm sure wind plant requires more mineral resources than a u.s. foreign power plant so to feed this we need to mine more. the report alleges that the future president will see jamal and explode by 24 to lift him supply will
5:24 am
rise by full 1200 percent graphite by 2500 these are some serious numbers and the wild can't 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 fall out with one. there's 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 ugliest 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
5:25 am
a political promise to peace 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 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 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 the battery lithium where do you find lithium in kopel but who is getting your cobalt the real frontier of the
5:26 am
battery revolution is in the unregulated coal mines of the d.r. see where 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 an acceptable 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 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. journalist charlie boyle he says the report leads them to more questions than answers. the biggest issue from an
5:27 am
economic perspective that i can see is that if you're running a large business that happens. 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 governments or around the world in order to get out of these obstacles because whichever way you look at these companies still rank tonight to make money one way or another so it's not it's not in use governments like the u.s. saying now i'm saying right right we're going x. finance. no nuclear energy and then 510 years down the line necessary i'm got the money anymore so i think these problems will be resolved one way or the other we have to get close at least to these targets but it's going to need government support rather than just so short term gesturing which which is what i'm seeing amount possible talk about from moscow so far kevin though in sounding off and now more for me in half an hour of a good monday. so
5:28 am
what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going foundation let it be an arms race based on often scaling dramatic development the only way i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very chaotic you'll die in time do you sit down and talk. i'm action right on c.n.n. we're going underground for the final lockdown edition is here in the u.k. draconian measures are raised even further which was johnson but stern 2 injections
5:29 am
like the oxford astra zeneca vaccine and pardew will talk to the lawyer who catalyzed the bally murphy inquest into the british parachute regiment getting into the millions but 1st joining me now from oxford is the director of the jenner institute who worked on the team to create the oxford astra zeneca vaccine professor adrian hell thank you so a chair 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 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 so if you didn't actually use a very long time and you and you only so this might drop to a little. it's more difficult for them to protect against the indian variants again so your original that's going to be in a small number of people and if you have high and you've got the charges as you should the vaccination most people you'll be protected against nearly all variants to a substantial look steps not what i mean but if you're very unlikely to end up hospital
5:30 am
or severely arm well you might have some symptoms but it should be a mild 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 side effects 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 heard you'd like to feel you were being rewarded for your pain by having stronger immediacy not that doesn't seem to be looking east with this taxi or with a large variety of other vaccines look both of your responses distinct once one of them calls your armchair you want to speak.
