u.s. weapons sale to israel is causing friction among democrats with warnings is going to make the conflict with garza worse. hey there good morning from russia this choose to the 18th of may my name is kevin o. inherent international for the next half hour with our latest for you. on this big story her dominating our coverage again today the death toll now in gaza has risen as israeli forces continue to shell the enclave at least 212 people including 61 children have now been killed there since the latest violence started a week ago explosions lit the night sky in gaza city overnight as israel launched 30 new air strikes.

residential buildings as well as gaza's main covert lab were hit by the latest air strikes from israel more than 100 houses have been destroyed in the area since the start of the latest conflict with many more properties severely damaged 2 we spoke to people whose lives have been shattered by these latest attacks all those of us that it was my little children my call wife why were you 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 street and save them from the bombing we are terrified it's the 1st thing was them bombing us at night suddenly it became severe and get close to us we started being shelled with tear gas canisters 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 schools. 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 fear we spent 5 days without water or food no one looked after us. the headquarters of a humanitarian group was also among the buildings hit in the latest raids the qatar red crescent society saying 2 of its staff were killed and 10 wounded in a strike came a day after the door from the group allocated $1000000.00 in support of those affected by air strikes and a 10 year old girls also shared with us the shock and pain of seeing houses around her bombed out. i dream about a little better future i dream to be a doctor and i dream to be helping my people but how could that happen i'm just

a kid i want the right to learn any more so what do you tell me to do. i'm just trying it with a china stop myself well. i can't every day at night or at least when 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 people but we even can help people because we can't do anything in this war we're just kids and the parents don't know how to raise theirs kids in this and this just ration it's hard for them and hard for us no one is safe in palestine no one can play with our friends out when the streets because every day of missiles our 8th time to get ahead of us i only say a 2nd and a minute our word is always your future in doubt many or 2nd or our words could be

our death so i don't play outside everytime i hear a missile my brother shoots those missiles and he gets scared so i try to let him calm down i put me and my family when we hear missiles we stay away from windows and stay away from the glass doors like we have in our house and we put in the hallway to matches to and then we fall asleep or try to sleep but i can't bear the missiles and cries of children out there. us middle east preschool 2 nights and now i want to go as is rapidly running out of key resources to and soon won't be able to care for those being injured in the conflict territories suffering constant power blackouts and the lack of clean water on top of it local journalist romeo me go report. the station by israeli war planes oh phrase it in shell homes and different parts of the gaza strip but you clearly hearing gaza city and more specifically right india where 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 them like drinking water for other purposes this causes great suffering for everyone in the neighborhood as for 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 but others don't even have that now forced to buy drinking water for extremely high prices the price has gone up by 30 times and this happens along with other hardships with unemployment soaring people not getting their salaries i love them it doesn't provide locals with as right no the electricity started coming

locals who are desperately want to fill in their tanks but actually many of them just cannot afford it. right now 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 of the electricity flowing deep inside the rubble 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 palestinians here in gaza have been badly affected by the ongoing israeli attacks on the territory of the past week. i mean tell you the side of this. have been standing in the south of israel as hamas fired some 90 rockets over night according to the israeli defense forces palestinian militants have shot more than 3000 missiles into the country since the start of this new confrontation forcing locals into bomb

shelters in many cases israelis gave their response to what's happening. it's not logical that hamas is dictating how we live from 10 to 12 or yeah you can rest then hamas launches rockets it cannot continue like this they want to attack gaza so they are left with our weapons to launch on us. 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 prime minister benjamin netanyahu insisting the tanks are going to continue to as long as needed to restore peace and security for israelis he said he blamed her mass for gaza civilian deaths outing it uses people as human shields a retired israeli colonel says netanyahu is right on that. i worry that the israeli government right now may not 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 the peripheral horrific tragedy an irony is how hamas of invested over the last decade in a submarine a rino to protect the fighters the rocket launchers the headquarters and look at that poor child killed underneath their house is going to be a bunker or otherwise israel is willing to go forward if hamas steps aside hamas is not willing to stop hamas wants to destroy and they continue to do so and my heart goes out the families to the children on both sides the elderly are especially at risk here in bomb attacks with health issues making it often hard of them to try to get a shelter quickly correspondent policy spoke to one pensioner about her fear of

getting caught up in a soap. 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 the maclet bomb shelter pretty fit really cool for the reason that and actually to be politically to early and the very thing that there will be a. carriage and i went here and obviously and advocate for the top of the flat on the 1st floor and i can't get that to the mic left only go down the stairs to the ficus floor and for. 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 all the buildings such altars are either on the ground floor or outside from the moment the siren sounds is in he has one minute 30 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 they bark wolf you hear the move move and what goes through me matt if they're being in live in fear it's frightening if they knew of the learn if if it harder and have left it among the 1st civilians to be killed in israel by a rocket from gaza was a woman you know eighty's and indian caregiver they never made it out of their apartment zuki 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 but wouldn't have it any other way what keeps me strong that level this. and conflict is that the. defense force in the world and they create me have 3 of them and most of my grandkids are here in israel no ethics death keeps me very strong and. lot of people there left the biggest wish is that this war will be israel's last seen enough to know that it's unlikely police. or some members of the un security council expressed fears of an escalation of the fighting between israel and gaza efforts to bring it to an end of falling on deaf ears because not all are expressing a common view on it the us has blocked for instance for the 3rd time in a week

a joint statement from the un security council calling for an instant ceasefire at the same time as joe biden himself reiterated support for an end still as he's in a phone call he had with his israeli counterpart and at the same time stressing israel's right to defend itself there was a car via washington facing internal scrutiny too 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 martin has called that sale appalling saying it's going to provoke the situation i'm an independent consultant on u.s. foreign policy claims biden is team knew what was coming yet still nonetheless went ahead with the deal. if there is even a float if there is even a bill introduced in congress it would be historic it would be a historic precedent there's never been a fight like this in congress over a weapons deal to israel when the biden ministry approved this weapons deal

before may 5th they knew what the israeli government was about to do when they were approving it and giving it a green why every day that this goes on and clearly the biden history has been trying to protect the israeli saw it blocked 3 times the security council statement for a cease fire all other 14 members of the security council's where the statement 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. few of us internationally is 14 and a half past the hour thanks to checking in with us lots to come including this one not at all we look at the plight of the homeless as affluent people in los angeles come out against plans to house on the beach isn't campsites nearby. it's

a. single wrong. just. to. get to see a pallet just to come. and engage with. the trail. when something find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the

cares thinks. we are here to ask. good morning from moscow more than a 1000 sellers of fake covert certificates of being found online in the u.k. and worldwide offering false vaccine and test documents for as little as 25 pounds in the u.k. border stuff say they're catching around $100.00 people with fake covert papers each day mostly from africa south america and asia spoke to

a dead vanunu he's the head of the cyber security firm that uncovered the certificates he told me problems accessing vaccines are what feeling the demand. we have a large gap in the war between countries that can stop light and can presidents who want to have and once you have. it's created a black market in the global economy and once you have black market this is a lot of money we need to understand that the darkness is a borrowed economy that. things that are everywhere like a gap between the supply and demand in the global network we believe that this is like the of the iceberg. but we can see that and the trends are very clear so we believe this is much operational. president biden wants to make the us an arsenal of global coburg vaccine supplies meantime pledging

80000000 doses for overseas use an exceeding supplies from russia and china that surprisingly be given biden's history of vaccine protectionism before it 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 with russia and china we should donated 15000000 doses you know there's a lot of talk about russia and china in the world spec seeds we want to lead the world with our values just says who are 2 americas the arsenal of democracy in the battle against covert $1000.00 pandemic our nation is going to be the arsenal of vaccines for the rest of the room 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 do use diplomatic relations in the americas region to mitigate efforts by states including cuba venezuela and russia who are working to increase the influence in the region to the detriment of u.s. safety and security examples include using the office of global affairs health it's a state 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

wrist strick sions 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 and that could it leave 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 vaccine 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. residents of an affluent los angeles suburb are furious at a move to house vagrants of parks and beaches nearby them because fires related to homelessness have tripled in the 1st 4 months of the year it comes as officials

defend their plan though to house the homeless and cabins and campsites nearby opponents say children would no longer be safe in the area for instance authorities also insist the move is temporary almost $21000.00 people have now signed a petition against the campsites highlighting the use of drugs and mental illness among the homeless and the risk of fire we talked about they also say they don't believe temporary means temporary we got reaction on the streets. here knowing 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 campsites we don't he's origin 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 less homeless people living with them and this whole proposal of just putting people in parks and on beaches just like trying to put a band-aid over a gunshot. just seems like politicians trying to. make themselves look good that part can't serve double duty it can't be a full time. homeless here and serve as a residential camp where people actually go without the. you know. perils in another part of the world next to tell you about an r t crew suffered a close showing for the landmine in the central african republic at the time they were accompanying local military and russian instructors to villages freed from. well control correspondent that constant was called reporting from the say. 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 and certain roads hoping to blow up a military truck and seize their weapons and supplies. just as the truck was saying that exploded a 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 then 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 in a chopper and headed to

a gold mine and village that were 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 the entire villages being slaughtered for the equivalent of $50.00 as they had of this village told us they are lucky now to. i have a military outpost nearby that is run by the local army with russian instructors who work in the country under a u.n. mandate and with us 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 body holes the rebels force local villagers to work there is slave space equally and kill those who refuse to do the job or you are simply too exhausted to carry on but it seems like now since the local army and the russians came along the poor miners can finally keep the gold for themselves and it doesn't get them much though and one of them told us that he'll be able to sell what he has worked for for an entire year we only for a $3.00. concert in russia r.t. from the central african republic so tough life there is none of those to do with

as well the bravery of those people trying to defuse those awful things. we talked about so far this morning if you want to see more of a social media if you don't either up any breaking news we'll go straight to mobile device for the 26 minutes past the hour kevin 0 in on the team here sounding off thanks to tuning in have a good. first like all new on the sky. if somebody would have been going to spend my life for replaying committees of the 2 story corps over the salt it was clear. every night or we were. attacked by the arabs we were attacking them and we were extremely shocked. but that's not possible oh army doesn't often do such scenes and then this sort of

a simple myself. with. the hose with all the pools of water we've all gotten over do all the. 1000000000 much 2nd class citizens in the long haul. it was like a lightning of my hair that there is no way to be able to the group together without to. come. to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on offer and spearing dramatic developments only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. a new gold rush is underway and gonna thousands of ill equipped workers are

flocking to the gold fields hoping to strike it rich here's a good. as they are bicycles that work children are torn between gold. my family was very poor i thought i was doing my best to get back to school which side will have the strongest appeal.

i 1st heard about hart island when i was working on a story about a formerly homeless man he had lived in the tunnels underneath penn station and i think. there was this a photographer who photographed his little the little house he had made himself there and because of her work he had been rescued he'd been given a home and that he'd been found dead in that home and he was going to go to heart island. and it was there was such sadness at the idea that this man who had finally achieved a home of his own was going to be dispossessed it was going to be one of the multitude in these anonymous graves.

i'm a new yorker and i believe that new york is more than you know the old idea of the city on the hill new york is really what. america is about. and there is a tragedy inherent in a big metropolis and. there are all these stories of the chance is gone by the mistakes of the bad childhood bad choices or just bad luck. that's something that any great metropolis contends was. butt.
