residential buildings as well as gaza's main covert lab of been hit by israeli air strikes more than 100 houses have been destroyed in the area since the start of this latest conflict with many more properties severely damaged we spoke to people whose lives have been shattered by these latest attacks both of us said it was my little children my core 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 streets and save them from the bombing we are terrified. the 1st thing was them bombing us at night suddenly it became severe and got 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 it 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 humanitarian group was also among the building was hit in the latest raids the cats are red crescent society saying 2 of its staff were killed and 10 wounded that a strike came a day after the doa funded group allocated a $1000000.00 to support those affected by airstrikes. the 10 year old girl also shared with us the shock and pain of seeing houses bombed out around. i dream about a little better future i dream to be a doctor and i dream to be helping my people but past when that happens i'm thinking can't i want the right to learn any more so what do you to me to do.

i'm just crying if we get a china stop myself up. like. i can 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 to check it out so we can help those folks we 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 ringback theirs kids in this in the situation it's hard for them hard for us no one is safe in palestine no one who 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 any minute now where is always your future in that many or 2nd or our could be our death so i don't play outside everytime i hear a missile my brother his 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 we have power and we put in the hallway 2 matches and then we fall asleep i try to sleep but if i can't answer the missiles and cries of children out there. the un's middle east peace coordinates are warns gauze or is rapidly running out to kill results says to right now and soon won't be able to care for those brain injured in the conflict the tertiary suffering constant power blackouts and also lack of clean water local journalist romeo mcgorry next. the station by the israeli warplanes 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 all 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. a 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 i didn't have a couple of water containers that will only be enough for a couple of the others don't even have that are now forced to buy drinking water for extremely high prices and the price has gone up by 30 times office and this happens along with other hardships and with unemployment soaring i get in their salaries i love them and. there's really no the electricity started coming lucas here 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 car 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 critically 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 over the past week. sorry. have been standing in the south of israel as a mass fired some 90 rockets over night according to the israeli defense forces palestinian militants who shot more than 3000 missiles into the country since the start of this new confrontation forcing locals to bomb shelters israelis gave their response to what's been happening around them. but it's not

a margin call that hamas is dictating how we live from town to 12 or yeah you can rest then hamas launches rockets it cannot continue like this and 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. the elderly are especially at risk here in bomb attacks with health issues all for making it harder for them to logistically seek shelter at his correspondent paula slee is speaking to one pensioner berthier a very real fear of getting caught up in the next assault. israel has the most advanced 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 pretty fit really put for the reason that and actually to be politically to early and very fearful that there will be a. sharon and i went here and obviously and advocate the top of the flat on the 1st floor and i can't get down to the mic left only go down the stairs to the fickle floor and the 1st 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 north new apartments to build one that was fortified in all the buildings such altars are either on the ground floor or outside from the moment of the siren sounds is in 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 bomb calls you hear the move move and what goes through me mad if they're being 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 eighty's and 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. always constantly for her grandson who's in the army but wouldn't have it any other way what keeps me strong that level this country and the conflict is 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 gift that keeps me very strong and that wasn't enough that 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 insists attacks are going to continue to as long as needed these said to restore peace and security for israelis he blamed the mass for garza civilian deaths thing in his view it uses people as human shields israeli foreign ministry spokesman paul hershon spoke to me and defended. every time i you know in newtown we need you and you're about civilian casualties on both sides of this conflict here in israel and in gaza i'm sick and i'm asked locating in souls deliberately in civilian neighborhoods firing from schools from hospitals from

mosques each and every time a war crime in orbits of deliberately firing into civilian neighborhoods in israel 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 israel with an ultimatum to to evacuate parts of jerusalem knowing full well that wouldn't happen and telling us that if it didn't happen they were going to open fire as they did with hundreds of rockets on civilian neighborhoods until of eve me into that they wanted this to happen and then the once we dragged into this conflict. with a band-aid on it again and i think we eat you to the point and they made a terrible mistake while some of us the u.n. security council expressed fears of an escalation in the fighting between israel and gaza efforts to bring it to an end have fallen on deaf ears because not all express the same common view the u.s. has blocked for instance for the 3rd time in a week a joint statement from the u.n.

security council calling for an instant cease fire but at the same time joe biden himself reiterate support for an end to hostilities in a phone call with his israeli counterpart though stressing israel still has the right to defend itself at the same time as 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 home or 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 president there's never been a fight like this in congress over a weapons deal to israel when the biden ministry approved this weapons dio

before may 5th they knew what the israeli government was about to do in the year approving it and giving it a green my every day that this goes on and clearly the biden history has been trying to protect the israeli saw it blocked 3 times a 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. from moscow a worldwide shortage of jobs's raise demand for a fake vaccination certificates how big a problem is that while travelers have been tolling the dot web to buy them a good report coming up and looking at it in more detail.

seems wrong but i. just don't. get to shape out just become educated and engaged with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to confront let it be an arms race in this spirit dramatic development that only. exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit

down and talk. again deadly landmines in civilian areas are widespread ongoing consequence of the central african republic so most decade long civil war and then our t.v. crew accompanying local military and russian instructors to villages freed from rebel control has come face to face with just that issue our correspondent on the scene there constantine. 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. were just to be trained to say they're supported 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 view 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 were 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 a u.n. mandate want you and us to 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 as slaves basically 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 hire we only for a $3.00. concert in russia r.t. from the central african republic. more than a 1000 sellers of fake open certificates have been found online in the u.k.

i will fold vaccine and test documents for as little as 25 pounds in the u.k. border stuff say they're catching around 100 people with fake papers every day mostly in from africa south america and asia spoke to oded vanunu 1st off this he's the head of the sub is a cutie found behind the findings he told me problems jobs fuelling the demand for these fake papers. we have a large gap in the war between countries that can supply and countries that want to have in and once you have the gap it created a black market in the global economy and once you have black market this is create a lot of mean we need to understand that the darkness is a parallel economy that supply things that are having like a gap between the supply and demand in the global network we believe that this is

like the tip of the iceberg you cannot state in dire darkness but we can see the trends and the trends are very clear so we believe it is much bigger operation when we talk about a small no to the issue of sake of is to focus maybe among the key topics of this week's international health summit coming up in rome coordinates by the european commission and the g 20 a manual topic about as director of health and care at the international federation of the red cross and red crescent is joining us now live hi there might see it again ok you want to charge of the questions that up up up put here to this distinguished panel of 20 world leaders and their representatives and of course the bankers of money there as well what would you like to be top of the agenda the. well we would like to see equitable vaccination to be at the top of the agenda right now the world is seeing a very unfair race with reach countries running 30 times faster than then poor

countries saw 30 percent of people in rich countries being vaccinated or at least every received one goes and only one percent the poor countries not having received any any just received one so it's really an issue of inequities a massive issue that requires that attention requires attention in terms of what waiving intellectual property rights. transfer of knowledge and technology is and also sharing of those from rich countries to poor countries and of course time is of the essence here there is no time to spare you're going to say that it's not all happening quickly enough i guess you know it's not happening quickly enough i mean the world to have these 2 to 1500000000 dollars until today which is remarkable but it's not enough people are dying in great numbers the pandemic is that probably in the worst moment terms of mortality that we have seen since last year and so these

these race to green vaccines to the arms of people is critical and so there's a huge effort that needs to be done on the manufacturing side increasing and also on the delivery site in countries but we're seeing as well even in countries that are fortunate enough to have a vaccine available to them there's a lot of problem with getting people to take it up for instance as a bubble in bolton in the u.k. at the moment where the indian variance there lot of people are in hospital younger people and people who refuse to take the vaccine there's a fear of the vaccine is it through lack of information these various vaccines or what is it how do you get people to actually be convinced to put the job in there are. yeah me d. estimated that around the world around one quarter 25 percent of the population doesn't want to get a vaccine and these are changes of course across countries but it is a huge number that may really stop but the ability to bring down the pandemic now what we need to do is increasing the quality of our communication and then very

much what works is quality at the personal level interpersonal level not not very much the drugs that comes from from specialist on on the news or those are important but he's really what our great cross volunteers repressive all theists do in countries talking to people listening to people responding to their questions and trying to to address the fighting that is there it's really a long haul process that requires a lot more interaction at the community level with the information that is of value and i think the more we'll see the portent cause if you have fact the vaccines the more people will reduce their resistance and decide to go and get the vaccine for those guys that are lucky we have it available but again time is a course of the essence we're saying just think about britain things are opening up just a little bit there but it's on the borderline again of that with there's going to be a full opening in june because of the in the invariant and after that i'm sure will

be another one as well as it's mutating all the time how it what is the bigger problem as you say the red cross is it getting people's heads around the vaccine and allaying their worries people are very concerned about it a number of issues why is that not being addressed higher up the list and you think that will be talked about in the g. 20. i think that requires the much a greater coordination between the political world and the scientific world and also a stronger gauge ment of the media in trying to pass the correct messages these viruses are skilled millions of people and we continue to kill millions of people and we do have one instrument that are the vaccines that can really save countless of likes these is the message that is needs to be passed more clearly and if there are questions question needs to be addressed properly in all in all possible for the same time what we need to continue repeating is the importance of public health

measures the simple ones keeping the distance ventilating indoor rooms because that's an important one that we missed for many many months more when your windows if you're meeting people side to your house and where a mask wear a mask all the time where you're meeting other other people but opening up windows for instance an eco ventilation is a critical element we have spoken not enough about about this it is important that we raise communication on this important issue and many others including the vaccine if you think about where mine comes being for for almost a year and a half now times quickly accelerating isn't it of course the other worry is the whole plethora of issues that are also been pushed to the background here there's the whole thing about people's mental health is going to come to the fore is already people being locked down they're afraid to go then you've got people's business is their word of a paying the bills etc etc more mental stress they've also got all the other illnesses like cancer detection all the other thing that's been pushed because of

course coverts come to the fore what else has been suffering of just covert aside for a minute what else should be on the list and there's a lot that has been suffering in many low income countries immunization programs i mean reduced in many countries. programs for distributing bed nets against malaria and those have been refused people are not being protected against malaria as they would have been without covert similar 4 x. this t.v. drugs or hiv drugs and also as you were saying the screening for other diseases cardiovascular diseases or cancers as being and interventions have been. massive but certainly if i have to point to one point it is what you mentioned caving at the very beginning is the mental health consequences of the use of terrible fund them if they are ready visible now without an increase of anxiety and depression even in large parts of the population but particularly in adolescence any sums that

will have to be grappling with for months if not years to come and here the red cross red crescent are investing a lot particularly with the with young people but also with the elderly that of course as we all know i've been the ones that have been taking the one of the huge you just wait of during this pandemic and so we have to continue battling go well beyond the disappearance of of course in 1000 on all these other shifts to final 30 seconds many well i mean the g. 20 so this every year you have something to be lauded but is it quick enough another that is fine for people to get together have the say in a form as i just talked a lot or does that should actually really come out of it at the end of the day. while there are important decision that can be taken waiving the intellectual property rights provokes it's a decision that could be taken if there is deplete you will be finding giving a vaccine to work on trees that through callbacks could be another decision that could be taken very very fast and be agreement on developing a treaty for future if you don't make them pandemics that agreement in itself would

be fundamental on friday to give then the full civility did you promise it to work in the next few months for future pandemics are there critical decision that can be taken and can really save lives at this moment in time and there's no time to be wasted money or couple of bianco director of health and care international federation of the red cross and red crescent was obviously on the program making the time for us we appreciate it really get on with it i thank you thank you. thank you for watching too it's 29 minutes past the hour that's just it's a day to take you through the afternoon though have no fear about that check it out of a social media for of the else we're talking about today but for now have a good.

reading and salutations democrats and republicans are at war with each other a little substantive change can happen in this clash of power different visions on basic things like what it means to be a democracy the role of the police what actually even happened on january 6th and who won the 2020 presidential election republicans are leading the charge on this information lives and fighting to maintain a white supremacist status quo recently the centers for disease control and prevention the c.d.c. added another wrinkle to the growing partisan divide.
