i thought i was doing my best to get back to school which side will have the strongest appeal. the number of victims grows as israel shelling of gaza runs a 2nd week marty speaks to a 10 year old girl of witnessed the destruction of her own neighborhood. every day at night. even in 3 years the missiles in the mornings when you're depriving screams of people i'm just playing it with a child that i myself. i can't. be while air raid sirens continue to sound that israel with potential is particularly vulnerable to attack. in new paltz and. if. it's holiday in towns like this what keeps me strong and lots of people there left. and a huge u.s. weapon sale to israel is causing friction among democrats with warnings it's going

to make the conflict with gaza worse. just here's a very good day from russia this choose the 18th of may it's kevin 0 in and out international with our latest for the next 30 minutes for you big story dominating again today now the death toll 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 began a week ago explosions lit the night sky in gaza city as israel launched 30 new airstrikes over night. residential buildings as well as garza's main covert lab were hit by israeli

airstrikes more than 100 houses have been destroyed in the area since the start of this latest conflict with many more properties severely damaged 2 we spoke to people whose lives have been shattered by these latest attacks. both of us said 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 drag them out into the street and save them from the bombing we are terrified to think 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 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 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 that cut red crescent society saying 2 of its staff were killed and 10 wounded the air strike came a day after the dollar from the group of delegated a $1000000.00 to support those affected by air strikes a 10 year old girl also shared with us the shock and pain of seeing houses being bombed around her. 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 mean if you can't i don't have the right to learn any more so what do you tell me to do oh i'm just trying it with

a china stop myself well. i can't. 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 check it out so we can help those folks we even can help people because we can't do anything in this war we're just kids in the parents don't know how to raise there's kids in this in this situation it's hard for them and hard for us no one is safe in palestine no one who can play with our friends out when streets because every day of missiles our 8th time to get ahead of us i only say a 2nd and a minute our is always your future in that many or 2nd or our would be our death so i don't play outside everytime 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 windows

and stay away from the glass doors like the having our house and we put in the whole way through it matches and then we fall asleep a travesty but if i can turn the missiles and cries of children out there. the diplomatic side of this the un's middle east peace coordinator warns that gaza is a rapidly running out of key resources and soon won't be able to care for those being injured in the conflicts the territories so from constant problem and a lack of clean water a local journalist romeo magali reporting next. that the 1st a should buy these radio war of lanes. oh freeze 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 whom like drinking water 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. yeah and what i didn't have a couple of water continuous that will only be enough for a couple of days others don't even have that now forced to buy drinking water for extremely high prices and the price has gone up by 30 times and this happens along with other hardships with unemployment soaring and their salaries all of the middle and this is why it looks. as right know the electricity started coming the locals who are desperately want to fill in their things 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 we were recently 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 their territory over the past week. we were. in the south of israel as a mass fired from 90 rockets overnight according to the israel defense forces palestinian militants have shot more than 3000 missiles into the country since the start of this new confrontation forcing locals to bomb shelters israelis gave us their response to what's happening. i don't claim either coates look it's not logical that her mass is dictating how we live from 10 to 12 or yeah you can rest

then one must launches rockets it cannot continue like this they want to attack gaza so they are left with our weapons to launch at us 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 the elderly are especially at risk during bomb attacks with health issues often making it harder for me just leave the sick shelter or to correspond policy next than speaking to one pensioner about her fear of getting caught up in an assault. 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 maclet obama shelter pretty fit

really for the reason that and actually to really pull her family to italy and the very fact that there will be a. carriage and went here obviously and advocate for the top of the flat on the 1st floor and. get that to the mic left only go down the stairs to the fickle floor and the 1st thing anywhere between $2.00 to $3000000.00 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 simply 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 the bombs fall off you hear them move

move and what goes through me man if they're being in in fear it's cracking 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 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 but wouldn't have it any other way that keeps me strong that level this country and confident we've got the best defensive wolf in the world and the green we have 3 of them and most of my grandkids are here in israel and that keeps that keeps me

very strong and i. love the people there and their biggest wish is that this war will be israel's last seen enough to know that it's unlikely the police here are t. . who is insisting meantime attacks are going to continue to as long as needed to restore peace and security for israelis as he put it he blamed hamas for gaza civilian deaths are being used as people as human shields well let's get the view now from tel aviv israeli foreign ministry spokesperson paul hersh is joining us hey there possibly can the time most basic time at the moment for you specially 1st question that a lot of people around the world are asking is well if these attacks are targeted as well as you say they're being wiser so much collateral damage what is the answer to that. but i'd like to say that every time i hear and every time we news and hear about civilian casualties on both sides of this conflict here in israel and in gaza

i'm sickened and that's precisely the problem with the attitude that. demonstrated by hamas locating themselves deliberately in civilian neighborhoods firing from schools from hospitals from mosques each and every time a war crime in an op itself deliberately firing into civilian neighborhoods in israel so i'll say this to you so far the there are about 200 deaths in gaza roughly approximately we don't have the final numbers 50 percent of whom are competent and 50 percent too many are our civilians of that 50 percent probably 25 percent have been killed by some us rockets which have led to the fall and short landing in the gaza strip it's precisely the reason we did not want to be in this conflict we did everything we could to deescalate and avoids the i want to get on to that i mean is there any reason then any explanation why the cat's a red crescent building was was hit in gaza was that

a mistake or was it seemed to be a legitimate target. i don't know the specific incident but i can tell you that we are targeting exclusively military targets now the question is whether there was for example a launch site from the backyard or with a we targeted to make sure the underground system and perhaps as a result it was it was sucked into the space below i don't know that specific incident but i know that we have a long list of what it's based on the military it's been reported 150 hamas islamic jihad militants have been killed my question to us was regarding that is are you likely to say when people's backs are against the wall as they feel it is on that side of the border are you likely to drive people in even deeper and bring more people in very quickly angry people to fill those shoes. well

you know this is a good question and i'm not sure what the answer to it is but we didn't want to be in this conflict and we were dragged into this conflict they knew what they were doing they harm us knew what they were doing providing is all with an ultimatum to to evacuate parts of jerusalem knowing full well that wouldn't happen and telling us that if that didn't happen they were going to open fire as they did with hundreds of rockets on civilian neighborhoods in tel aviv meant that they wanted to happen and that the ones were dragged into this conflict when not in the mood but a band-aid on it again and i think we need to pursue the mass to the point that they understand that they made a terrible mistake and not only will we have degraded their military infrastructure so that and how you want in your estimation alongside going to take then how much more bloodshed would there be do you think i know you're saying it's all very unfortunate but how do you how longer in british to take the the quicker the better as far as we're concerned i i i can't speak operational issues. if they

switch off the firing of rockets into israel then then we have something to talk about. but but the point is the bit here ability and their desire to separate issues to fire rockets into israel both of which need to be. cut down president biden is calling for the cease fire now it's not going to be he that will how is that core going to be heeded in israel going to make a difference or not you know i'll tell you this i'm a graduate of the previous military conflict to with a mass in gaza in 2014 and there were in this cease fires i don't remember the number of think of it 1617 israeli implemented in abided by every single one of them and some us did not implement and violated all our suppose if they didn't implement they didn't violate but they continued firing every single one of those zones. so i think that could be you know if and when the time comes for

a cease fire i assure you we will implement and abide by it and i think your question is a very important question to be put to comments we talk maybe about the further radicalization of people joining hamas what about radicalization of israelis that think this is the right thing to do that maybe on the middle on this or maybe radical about it are you going to make more trouble at home you know i 1st of all i'm from the foreign ministry and i don't really speak to internal issues but i'll tell you that the beauty of israel the jazz festival that is israel is the the open democratic conversation from the far right the far left from the religious to the secular and an end all of the sexes in israel so so we have voices here in israel expressing what we have been humans and that's the beauty of israel and then on occasion we have elections and we decide who's going to run the country and that's how we work here i think it's a legitimate we're working we do not have

a kind of and i'm into this i'm you know how much is an organization which is elevated suicide to a place in society which amounts to nothing less than the worship of the this is one of the darkest political ideas in modern history is there any space for political dialogue here who's going to blink 1st. well we went to political dialogue with the palestinians the political. you know i'm not going to tell you that there isn't a conflict there is a conflict we all know the difference of opinions between ourselves in the arab world for decades now. egypt in jordan and in the last year another 4 arab countries we plan to end in tinge to it with the entire arab world including that there. is very question here about who of the distance you represent they just called an election they blamed us for canceling the blame that's some us is in instigated this engagement with israel's military engagement glossary on the basis

of their own internal political needs. but in principle we've been waiting to. mahmoud abbas for for some years now paul ocean thank you very much from the israeli foreign ministry for share your time thank you for having. well talk to the diplomatic side as we touched on earlier on more of it while some members of the u.n. security council expressed fears of an escalation in the fighting between israel and gaza efforts to bring it to an end at the moment falling on deaf ears because not all are expressing a common view on 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 ceasefire but joe biden himself reiterate support for an end to hostilities and a phone call with his israeli counterpart he stressed that again at the same time as saying he believes israel had a right to defend itself washington's also facing internal scrutiny over its role

in the conflict the democrats split over a planned arms sale to israel worth millions one of the 1st muslim women elected to congress ellen omar has called the sale appalling saying it's going to 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 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 ministration approved this weapons deal before me 5th they knew what the israeli government was about to do in the era proving it and giving it a green light 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 supported 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. smith a 20 moscow time this tuesday high coming up. we look at the plight of the homeless as awful people in los angeles come out against plans to how does that lead beaches and campsites nearby we will check out their worries was so concerned about it just one of the stories after this break. so we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation

let it be an arms race. very dramatic developments. and going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

i 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 view sold to the central african republic under a u.n. arms and bargo anyway our days started as we took off on a chopper and headed to a gold mine and village there 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. tired villages being slaughtered for the equivalent of $50.00 as they had of this village told us they are lucky now to 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 we cannot sue 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 win 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. 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 refused 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 that poor miners can finally keep the gold for themselves i mean 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 it entire we only for a $3.00. concert in russia r.t. from the central african republic. well than a 1000 cell is a fake codes to for kids to be found online in the u.k. and worldwide offering false vaccine and test documents for as little as $25.00. in the u.k. border stuff say the culture and 100 people with fake papers each and every day

mostly from africa south america and asia i spoke to the new no he's the head of the cyber security firm uncovered this fake certificates he told me problems accessing vaccines and fuel the demand. we have a large garden the world between countries that can still play and counter is that once. 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 we need to understand and the darkness is a borrowed economy that supply things that are everywhere like a gap between the supply and demand in the global image we believe that this is like the tip of the iceberg we cannot see the darkness but we can see the trends and the trends are very clear so we believe that this is much bigger operation.

presence of an affluent los angeles suburb the furious right now to move to house vagrants a park some beaches nearby because fires related to homelessness have tripled in the 1st 4 months of this year they're worried about safety it comes as officials defend their plan the house the homeless in cabins and campsites opponents say for a start children in their view would be no longer safe in the area authorities insist the move temporary to almost 21000 people have no sign the petition against the campsites highlighting the use of drugs and mental illness among the homeless and the risk of fire that we talked about they also say they don't believe temporary means temporary we've got reaction on the streets to it. to hanoi the homeless situation by the local 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 need the orange 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 the. where some of the homeowners are on the area don't want to have necessary almost people living with them this whole proposal just putting almost people in 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 bad parkand serve double duty it can't be a full time. homeless camp and serve as a residential camp where people actually go to have space to spread out. the key posts known to us why things look in so far more for us in about 30 minutes but next up the bright variety of tailor made programs for you in your part of the world. have
