weapon sales israel's causing friction about democrats as criticism of tel aviv grows from those concerned about human rights abuses of palestinians. good morning russia this tuesday the 18th of may is kevin irwin here about international with the latest for you and again one story dominating this morning what's happening between israel and gaza and the death toll in gaza 1st off has risen as israeli forces continue to shell the enclave at least 212 people now including 61 children have been killed this is the latest violence began a week ago explosions late the night sky in gaza city as israel launched 30 new airstrikes over night.

the headquarters of a humanitarian group was among the buildings hit in the latest raid the qatar red crescent society saying 2 of its stuff were killed and 10 wounded the strike came a day after the door funded group allocated a $1000000.00 to support people affected by the airstrikes residential buildings as well as gaza's main covert lab have also been hit more than $100.00 houses have been destroyed in the area since the start of this latest conflict with many more properties severely damaged we spoke to some people whose lives have been shattered by these latest attacks well those of us that it was my little children my call wife why were we treated like that the children were asleep and suddenly there was an explosion my wife and i we were shocked the airstrike was very strong we ran to the children to drive them out into the streets and save them from the bombing we are terrified some donate blood and others helping different ways as well but i

came here at dawn and help with the civil defense forces as you can see were coon out unprotected children and women have nothing to do with the palestinian resistance or the launching of. the 1st thing was them bombing us at night suddenly it became severe get close to us we started being shelled with tear gas canisters we were suffocating from the gas we called the civil defense and 1st state in order to take us and get us out of the place and into the school bus. when the bombing started and everyone was falling of course life is precious to everyone we left quickly we even didn't put on our shoes there was no blanket or anything thank god we got to the school we broke open the doors and sat in the school in. here we spent 5 days without water or food no one looked after us.

a 10 year old girls motional video about israeli attacks and the suffering they have caused has gone viral meantime the dean is seen standing by the rubble of a neighbor's home for an airstrike that killed 11 including 8 children she told us about the shock and pain wrought by the onslaughts. i dream about a little better future i dream to be a doctor and i dream to be helping my people but perhaps when that happens i'm thinking yes i want the right to learn any more so what do you tell me to do. i'm just crying if we get a china job myself up. like. i can't every day at night or at least when ince we hear the missiles in the mornings we hear the cries and screams of people so we try to go check it out so we can help those poor folks even can help people because we can't do anything in this ward we're just kids and the parents don't know how to raise there's kids in this and this just

rationed it's hard for them and hard for us no one is safe in palestine no one who can play with our friends out in the streets because every day of missiles our age trying to get ahead of us like i always say the 2nd minute hour is always your future in that many or 2nd or hour could be our death so i don't play outside every time i hear a missile my brother has those missiles and he gets scared so i charge to let him calm down i put me and my family when we hear missiles we stay away from the windows and the away from the glass doors. and we put in the hallway through it matches and then we fall asleep trying to sleep but i can't count the missiles and cries of children out there. goes for official say no the territories just days away from a total power blackout with the only power plant now running out of fuel the

relentless bombing raids have also left many without drinking water to go as opposed to just run me. next reporting on. the devastation by these greedy war of planes oh freeze. homes and different parts of the gaza strip but you clearly hearing gaza city and more specifically right in the street where we are is standing has not only left a rendered many people killed and injured including women and children but also impacted the basic services of the community of the palestinian community in gaza. the whole neighborhood is suffering from a water shortage each building houses at least 80 people all of whom like drinking water for other purposes this causes great suffering for everyone in the neighborhood as the electricity supply it's only on for a couple of hours

a day. and what didn't have a couple of water containers that will only be enough for a couple of days others don't even have that are now forced to by drinking water for extremely high prices and the price has gone up by 30 times often and this happens along with other hardships with unemployment soaring getting their salaries a lot of them it. is right now the electricity started coming the locals who desperately want to fill in their trunks but actually many of them just. so you know right now we receive a large number of calls from the local residents daily complaining about the power outages they ask us to fix the damage and restore the power supply many residential buildings have already been destroyed or shelled and these damaged buildings are very dangerous now because if you look through city flowing deep inside the rubble many international relief organizations mainly the united nations relief and works agency policy. and the gaza strip warns against what it terms the

shortages the sharp shortage of power supply and water supply for the population of gaza especially in areas like this one that have been damaged by the israeli ever strikes or warplanes or strikes against them. and the past a few days and this comes under the situation the bad economic situation and the territory with about more than 50 per cent of the people live under above or to line and that employment records have recorded so why in the territory of the over the past years and there's the situation for the moment palestinians year in gaza have been badly affected or impacted by the ongoing israeli attacks on the territory of the past week. meantime rockets sounding in the south of israel as a mass fires back palestinian militants have shot more than 3000 rockets into the

country since the start of this new confrontation forcing locals into bomb shelters there israelis gave their response to the escalation. of violence. but it's not marginal that has mass is dictating how we live from 10 to 12 or yeah you can rest then hamas launches rockets and cannot continue like this and want to attack gaza so they're left with our weapons to launch. surely i live here in the house there was a siren and i went down one floor to take shelter my mom is disabled but she was able to get to the shelter and that's what saved her. correspondent paula slater spoke with more traditionally pensioner about living under fear of bombardment. israel has the most advanced a defense system in the world and the army is amongst the best there is but still as much as a 3rd of his radius of vulnerable and exposed to rocket attacks from gaza. is 76 years old she's

a retired artist whose husband died 10 years ago she lives alone in an apartment block in central israel unable to reach a maclet or bomb shelter i'm pretty fit really cool for the reason that i and actually 2 bullet flee to italy and the other 3 fear that there will be a. carriage and i went here it obviously and advocate for the top of the flat on the 1st floor and. get that to the mc left that normally go down the stairs to the fickle floor and that. big anywhere between 2 to 3000000 israelis live in homes that do not have a bomb shelter it was only in the last 30 years that it became law for new apartments to build one room that was fortified in older buildings such altars are either one the ground floor or outside from the moment the siren sounds he has one minute 60 seconds to get to safety that's the time it takes for

a rocket fired from gaza to reach central israel but for those living close to the gaza border they have just 15 seconds when the barkov you hear the move move and walk go through me matt if they're been in there in fear it's frightening if they knew of the learn if if it harder and have left among the 1st civilians to be killed in israel by a rocket from gaza was a woman in a eighties and her indian caregiver they never made it out of their apartment as in she immigrated to israel from south africa decades ago she's witnessed many wars over the years but feel something is different this time around. she was constantly for her grandson who's in the army that wouldn't have it any other way what keeps me strong that that level this country and the confidence that we've got the best defense force in the world and we created we have 3 of them and most

of my grandkids are here in israel and that keeps that keeps me very strong and pleasant lots of people that i left the biggest wish is that this war will be israel's last seen enough to know that it's unlikely. prime minister benjamin netanyahu meantime insisting the talks are going to continue as long as needed to restore peace and security for israelis he blames our mass for garza civilian deaths so uses people as human shields one retired israeli colonel we spoke to says not you know who's right. i worry that israeli government may now choose to stop in the next day or 2 or 3 because they are in a mode of trying to finish off more of hamas them before my heart as an israeli goes out well for the palestinian children for the palestinian people who are held

there by commons by those leaders not just firing the rockets but to me that horrific horrific tragedy an irony is how some acid invested over the last decade in a sober true arena reno to protect the fighters the rocket launchers the headquarters . for a child killed underneath their house is going to be a bunker or otherwise israel is willing to go forward if hamas starts hamas is now willing to stop hamas wants to destroy me continue to do so and my heart goes out the families to the children on science. other parallel developments while some members of the un security council have expressed fears of an escalation in the fighting between israel and gaza meantime efforts to try to bring it to an end of falling on deaf ears at the moment because not all are expressing a common view about it the u.s. has blocked for the 3rd time in a week a joint statement from the u.n. security council calling for an instant cease fire at the same time as joe biden

himself is reiterating his support for the end to hostilities in a phone call with israeli counterpart stressing israeli's right to defend themselves washington is facing internal scrutiny over its role in the conflict with democrats split over a planned arms sale to israel worth millions one of the 1st muslim women elected to congress illinois has called the appalling saying it will provoke the situation robert nyman an independent consultant on u.s. foreign policy claims biden's team knew what was coming yet still went ahead with the deal. if there is even a book if there is even a bill introduced in congress he would be historic it would be a historic president there's never been a fight like this in congress over a weapons deal to israel when the biden ministry approved this weapons deal

for may 5th they knew what the israeli government was about to do in the era proving it and giving it a green money every day that this goes on and clearly the biden history has been trying to protect the israeli salt block 3 times a security council statement for a ceasefire all other 14 members of the security council square the state so they're coming under increasing pressure both internationally by ministrations both internationally and in washington so i think we could see a shifting picture on this even in the next day. morning assaults international. watching the clock now coming up if you stick around we'll tell you about this president but i didn't post that washington will give more coronavirus shelves to the world than geo political rivals now is that a race with more on that and the rest of the news this tuesday back in 90 seconds

that.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race is on spilling dramatic development the only really exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. president biden wants to make the us an arsenal of global covert vaccine supplies pledging 18000000 doses for overseas use and exceeding supplies from russia and china not surprising given biden's history of vaccine protectionism caleb maupin has got the story. biden is quite proud of this and says it puts the united states in the shoes of basically being

a savior around the world this will be more vaccines than any country has actually shared today we're going to russia and china we should donated 50000000 doses you know there's a lot of talk about russia and china influence in the world smack seeds we want to lead the world with our values just as in 2 americas the arsenal of democracy in the battle against covert 19 pandemic our nation is going to be the arsenal of vaccines for the rest of the world biden reminds us of his predecessor donald trump who often boasted about the united states being the number one around the world and in this case it is certainly not surprising that in his speech announcing that the united states intends to be number one in vaccine exports joe biden directly mentioned russia and china it has now been revealed that it was the policy of u.s. officials to prevent a country that was very badly hit by the coded 19 pandemic from getting the russian

vaccine u.s. officials lobbied the government of brazil in the hopes of ultimately succeeding and preventing brazil from importing the russian vaccine this is what has been revealed. the office of global affairs used diplomatic relations in the americas region to mitigate efforts by states including cuba venezuela and russia who are working to increase their influence in the region to the detriment of u.s. safety and security examples include using the office of global affairs health office to persuade brazil to reject the russian copied 19 vaccine now there's also been a recent spat between the european union and the united states when it comes to the restrictions on the export of vaccines and vaccine components we had the president of france and other leaders of the european union calling out the united states for its restriction on vaccine exports india in particular has been badly hit by the

restrictions on vaccine components and their exports i would have prevented india from manufacturing vaccines that could believe the suffering in india there was massive outcry both within the united states and around the world and ultimately it was only in the face of that outcry the ban on exports of that in components to india was lifted so it's clear that the priority of the united states is to be number one but the world is now asking at what cost. in america from next story residents of an affluent fluent los angeles suburb furious in a move to house vagrants of parks and beaches now because fires related to homelessness have tripled there in the 1st 4 months of the year it comes as officials are defending their plan to house the homeless in cabins and campsites opponents say children would no longer be safe in those areas authorities though insists the move is temporary almost $21000.00 people have no signed a petition against the camp sites highlighting the use of drugs and mental illness

among the homeless and the risk of fire so they also say they don't believe temporary means temporary reaction from the streets. the handling of the homeless situation by the local. the county and the state government it's criminal there has been so much money. shoved off by the state government by the taxpayers of los angeles county by the federal government to end this problem we need affordable housing we don't need campsite we don't he's storage cards we need what we were promised 10 years ago i think it's a good idea i mean it's a tricky situation because the homeless people need to live somewhere but i also see the other side of it where some of the homeowners around the area don't want to have this area homeless people living with them this whole proposal just putting homes people on parks and on beaches just like trying to put a band-aid over a gunshot and it just seems like politicians trying to.

make themselves look good that part cancer of double duty it can't be a full time. harmless can and serve as a residential camp where people actually go down state right now you know. an arty crew suffered a close shave with a landmine in the central african republic at the time they were accompanying local military and russian instructors to villages freed from rebel control our correspondent constitute rushkoff reports from that nation. this part of the country is considered to be under government control and that's true for the most part but there are still groups of armed rebels hiding in the jungles sometimes they lay mines in certain roads hoping to blow off a military truck and seize their weapons and supplies. are just as he tried to say they're supported mine and we almost ran into one of

those mines ourselves but luckily our ascared group spotted it in advance and it was destroyed. before it went off we managed to get some close up shots of it the mine was made in belgium which of course raises a lot of questions like how and where local militias get such deadly weapons because any firearms above $14.00 centimeters caliber let alone anti-tank mines like the one we discovered aren't allowed to be sold to the central african republic under a u.n. arms embargo anyway our days started as we took off on a chopper and headed to a gold mine and village had recently freed from rebel control as we flew over the think jungle i was sitting close to a supply of hand grenades the crew keep them in case they are fired at from the ground and they need to scare the shooters off i mean it's that tough here. the

village we saw was typical for see our poor and devastated people lack basic things like food and clothes but are still harassed by local gangs which usually come and take whatever they want and brutally killed those who dared to stand up against them and we heard accounts of entire villages being slaughtered for the equivalent of $50.00 as they had of this village told us they are lucky now to have a notary out that was nearby that is run by the local army with. russian instructors who work in the country under 8 u.n. mandate now with their lawsuit the government has sent russian forces here for the safety of the population is very quiet around here because the russians are here we don't want them to leave we want them to stay with sketch and finally we reached a gold mine that until a month ago was run by militants they work in primitive conditions extracting tiny nuggets by digging clay with shovels and then washing it in small muddy holes

rivals horse local villagers to work there as slaves basically and kill those who refused to do the job or who are simply too exhausted to carry on but it seems like now since the local army and the russians came along that poor miners can finally keep the gold for themselves i mean it doesn't get that much though and one of them told us that he'll be able to sell what he has worked for for an entire week only for $3.00. counted in russia r.t. from the central african republic. news tough life so so much to do with put it where there's no dog bus when things look in so far this morning 26 minutes past the hour is coming up so if you're watching the clock you've got to go out to work today have a good one thanks for checking in with us and keep our dog home by his side as well now kevin though in signing off this is our t.
