another raid on the world one starts and one stops and it's just a multiple crises stacked up you know right there. my goodness gracious what happened. shocking images of children killed in the crossfire as violence between israel and palestinian militants enters a 2nd week with nowhere inside. they are children they are true 3 or 4 years old what did they do that made it necessary to kill them they were torn to pieces israel launches its deadliest onslaught so far while rejecting international calls for a ceasefire while the israeli say that hamas spares responsibility for the tragic escalation. i want to say is a former commander in chief to the citizens of gaza we love you we want you to leave. you need to know that your leadership hamas leadership making

all the problems and anti israel protests break out across europe is thousands take to the streets calling for the killing of civilians in gaza to stop. good afternoon just gone 4 o'clock here in moscow you watching r.t. international now israel the series of u.s. strikes on the gaza strip on monday in the ongoing tit for tat it followed militants firing about raj of rockets at its neighbor palestinians say at least 198 people have been killed in the coastal lang play even the past 7 days including 58 children in israel 10 are dead including 2 youngsters well hey you can see the aftermath of palestinian rocket strike on the city of ashdod in southern israel a residential building was severely damaged and at least 3 people were injured here emerged. if he were to say people managed to evacuate quickly preventing further

casualties what we're about to show you here the scene after an israeli strike on garza which you might find disturbing a wall plane struck several buildings and roads in cars on sunday with 40000 people there killed it was the deadliest single attack since fighting broke out a week ago on saturday for a minute and said 18000 rockets had been fired from gaza into israel by how massive islamic jihad and also other militant groups pictures from gaza show a bomb crater blocking a main road leading to a hospital and as we're about to show you next multiple children a foreign victim to the show. was about the load of the below the fold. up the food the. this. belief is that. it.

was ok for almost they are children they are 234 years old what did they do that made it necessary to kill them one of the targets the israelis were after we targeted their missiles at small children who did nothing wrong they were torn to pieces this is street of many buildings have been 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 area 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 vision board before they bombarded them which is something the new precision did as israel used to warrant to people before they attempted to strike the building there is. i mean a nearby who is living next to my. his wife told him i want to make it is each time

his wife wanted to go to visit her if i don't hear mother so she went to this building celebrating the 8th and unfortunately she is now under the rubble and instead of celebrating the cheese now under the rubble they're still searching for what they were a few hours now this machinery have been has been trying attempting to rescue the people they've inside this rubble of this forest or rebuilding their street and as you see here it's it seems to it seems to these people are trying to risk your very secure for a shed is a bit difficult their house is being 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 the destruction is widespread destruction is largescale noise then as this would begin the rescue operation we've seen a lot we've pulled 4 survivors from the rubble there have been many to well families in cars to continue the desperate search for loved ones in the aftermath of these strikes after hours of scrambling through the deadly one father was finally reunited with his injured child infants survived the strike on a residential building and which though his mother and 4 siblings died we spoke with the father. just one innocent children were targeted while they were going to visit their uncle and cousins the israeli army bombed their uncles house which led to the martyrdom of for his sons and his wife as well as for their uncles cousins and his wife dr who called bibi omar gallaga survived and is now lying in hospital we have children don't deserve being bombed with missiles from 35 aircraft what have they done to this child by rockets at israel what did he do to be targeted by

missiles what is how many guards is a crime against humanity house of being bombed in collapse in their residence without warning or notification no only crime is that the children of gaza. in while the palestinian prime minister has called on the international community to step in and help to stop the bloodshed was so waterlogged far the goring images and pictures of those children whose clothes have dripping in blood on have died so soon one of the biggest crimes punished by the international law we follow what is going on minute by minute and call upon the international community to intervene but israel until this moment is not responding to anyone. but we discussed the situation with israeli political analyst gideon levy he does think david palestinian a pails for foreign support will be left unanswered. who doesn't care you know what. this is it's look at both sides

oh it's a bogus true siege you know which we know how we do you really think your kid took over 14 years now this is the core issue. but now i want it. really. united states seems to be quite. weird in the. way. we would. remain you know as. we hear. you get in the same conditions. with their. religious buildings were also destroyed in the israeli air strikes a mosque in the north of gaza is leveled with surrounding property suffering massive damage to at least 3 civilians were reported to have died here. the 2nd wave next to the mosque and the street separates mark parkman from it i hug my

children and my wife thank 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 gazza not bombing the security forces inside the right children the elderly and women in their homes destroyed the seris civilian and there is no mildred presence for the resistance fighters in the 2014 war this house was bombed but it was rebuilt again and the sarah does not fire on the troops and no rockets came out on what basis was the smallest destroyed and israel prime minister benjamin netanyahu has defended his country's actions saying that israel is doing everything it can to avoid civilian casualties and blaming her master you for using people as human shields netanyahu added that the that he sees no clear end in sight to the violence meanwhile armed groups in gaza including how masting continue to target israel with rockets in the southern city of ashkelon here a recent focus there

a synagogue was damaged and cars destroyed although no casualties were reported in east jerusalem a palestinian rammed his car into israeli police on sunday injuring 6 officers the driver was immediately shot dead after the police called a deliberate attack a mass later praised the driver. our correspondent poorest laid to speak to a former i.d.f. officer about his experiences in gaza and more generally about the current 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 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 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 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 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 surgeries 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 risk my life so many times just to make sure that no civilians from the palestinian side will 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 this specific place in the gaza border here and recent video of the israeli army

stopping in a strike after seeing children playing in the area you're going to get away with a big man going to bring a. pocket book and the members a 14 year old child riding a donkey in approaching him and he 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. such a powerful way that it. destroyed completely the fence we will relocate 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. 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 how must leadership making all the problems as contrasted to tease continue to heat up the prospect to turn into normal life seems in small ways as a listener that's. what we also spoke to lawyer daniel reisner he previously worked for the israel defense forces and does say that hamas makes it impossible for the i.d.f. to avoid civilian casualties. the idea of studying or does the. military targets not everyone will know what the target was because some of the it's the

intelligence information but there have to prohibition on attacking civilian targets even when they attack a military target they do everything they can to verify the minimum number of civilians all know civilians preferably is a mess and unfortunately because hamas has placed all its military installations in the middle intentionally in the middle of the civilian life of gaza it's incredibly difficult they create an intentional dilemma thoughts i'd only those i have back which obviously what they're looking for or what we don't fire back you'll see the tragic judgment of well after that incident will tragic. for hamas it's a win with i know we don't care that all you'll show long pictures in both. meanwhile making european cities to witness probably palestinian protests like the weekend with thousands demanding the attacks on gaza stop some demonstrators flag 3 stones and bottles police responded to take acid water cannon and

a number of arrests were night. you're watching out a still film t.v.'s our top french police officer dismisses growing demands for members of the force to get better protection from rioters we'll have a look at exactly why just after the break.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. the world is driven by shaped past and person with those words. thinks. we dare to ask.

welcome back a top french police officer has lashed out at former officers for asking for more help for the police just under 100 have signed a petition to the president asking the stations be protected from holds of mass to individuals with more on the story is shot at a bit scary. this is another warning of a security threat faced by france by what's described as being a violent minority with a key everywhere that's the warning from around 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 grueling civil war here 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 letter this petition to president not going to have not just signed their names but also the ranks of the chiefs before they left office they cooling perfect information is to be able to recall the country today the authority of the state is undermined by fallen minority laws are no longer applied in the last series years of the republic the increase in attacks and the violence directed against guardians of the public peace demonstrate a rejection of our republican values our 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 of police officers in grand lake which was being treated as a terror attack and also just off the bat in avignon where a police officer was shot as he tried to stop a drug raid but it also talks about the continuing attacks the open attacks on police officers generally on back cause and also police stations which it says is

now becoming a regular occurrence to. grow 2 2. well the for to. who's calling for reform of the people who code in front saying it wants the sentences to reflect the verity of the crimes that are being committed not only has it gone to more than 40000 signatures to date it's also attracted the attention of police is top officer here in france this is said to be 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 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 sure 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 been ratified into law the so-called separatism and the fact that the prime minister has that in the last week or so said that he would be looking for tougher sentences against those who attack and kill police officers to spite that of course this reflects a war issue this is not a good time in the last month or so that the warnings about right you wrong this time coming from retired police officers previously soldiers and retired generals to really you can imagine there 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. reporting from paris that the international energy

agency has clashed with joe biden's team over whether the u.s. should actually spend trillions of dollars accelerating a clean energy transition it does come as the watchdog issues a report that questions just green the country's policy actually is with more. if we take drastic action right now to address the climate disaster 3 seated issues in our world by 24 the united states will be 100 percent. kona me with new mission. of the world's clean energy was that probably sent 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 crean and these thoughts the conclusion of a new report by a top and

a g 8 policy it finds 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 zz i'm talking things like nickel kopel 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 difficult 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 will the report alleges that the future president wants will see demond explode by 2040 lithium supply will rise by 4200 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 still says 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 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 the white imagines will 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 retroactive 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 went to 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 battery revolution is in the unregulated coal mines of the d.r. sea 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 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 what we heard from journalist charlie boyle on this to you does say that the reports leads to more questions than answers. 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 a pleasure 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 one way or another so it's not it's not and governments like the us saying now i'm saying right right we're not fine it's. manual only it's year now 510 years down the line necessary i've got the money anymore so i think these problems will be resolved $1.00 way or 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 is what i'm seeing a lot and that is how the news is looking at seyfarth today here on our table back again at the top of the.

new gold rush is underway and gonna thousands of ill equipped workers are flocking to the gold fields hoping to strike it rich here there goes. the present day over the homes that were children are torn between gold. was very poor i thought i was doing my best to get back to school which side will have the strongest appeal. one else shows seem wrong. but all in all just don't call. me all the yet to stamp out disdain he comes to advocate and in gains from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she says to look

for common ground. new york is really what america is about. when our mayor took our face she was elected because of his campaign on our city being a tale of 2 cities that had seen as not and those who have not are usually the ones who weren't being very hard at 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 is burial site where 1000000 souls are buried where so much of new york city's history is buried is the cement of the inequality that existed in

this city for centuries. joined me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see you then. hello and welcome the process for all things are considered i'm peter lavelle

historically speaking the cold war was a great ideological confrontation western liberalism versus soviet communism according to joe biden the great geopolitical struggle of our time is democracy versus a caucus each for 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 and 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 the 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.
