7:06 am
are is standing has not only left a rendered many people killed and injured including women and children but also impacted their 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 lack drinking water 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 days others don't even have that now forced to buy a drink and water for extremely high prices the price has gone up by 30 times and this happens along with other hardships with unemployment soar and people market in their salaries and all of them it doesn't provide locals with as right no the
7:07 am
electricity started coming the locals here desperately want to fill in their turns but actually many of them just cannot afford it 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 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 of over the past week meanwhile sirens have been so. in the south of israel as hamas fired some 90 rockets over night that's according to the israeli defense forces a palestinian militants of shock more than 3000 missiles into the country since the
7:08 am
start of this new confrontation forcing locals in the bomb shelters so we got reaction from israel's high level frame of the growing look it's not logical that hamas is dictating how we live from 10 to 12 am you can rest then hamas launches rockets and cannot continue like this they want to attack gaza so they are left without weapons to launch an us sumi i live here in the house there was a siren and i went down on the 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 them to you well logistically seek shelter aussie correspondent paula sileo spoke 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 a maclet or bomb shelter pretty fit really cool for the reason that and actually to be politically to early and the very fact that there will be a. carriage and i went here obviously and advocate for the top of the flat on the 5th floor all and i can't get that to the mccann family only go down the stairs to the ficken floor and the. 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
7:10 am
either on the ground floor or outside from the moment of the siren sounds simply 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 bond calls you hear the move move and walk us through me matt if there and i've been in in fear it's cracking if we knew of them alone if it harder and have left that 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 . constantly for her grandson who's in the army but wouldn't have it any other way but it keeps me strong the level of this country and and the confidence
7:11 am
that we felt the best defense force in the world and my gran we have 3 of them really and most of my grandkids are here in israel that keep fish that keeps me very strong and after a lot 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 binyamin netanyahu insists attacks will continue as long as needed to quote restore peace and security for israelis you blame hamas for gaza civilian deaths i think it uses people as human shields but we spoke with the israeli foreign ministry spokesperson paul hushing every time i hear and every time we need to hear about civilian casualties on both sides of this conflict here in israel and in gaza i'm sickened i must locating themselves deliberately in civilian
7:12 am
neighborhoods firing from schools from hospitals from mosques each and every time a war crime in an orbit solve did liberally 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 how much knew what they were doing for vibing is out 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 the civilian neighborhoods in tel aviv meant that they wanted this to happen and that the once we were dragged into this conflict we're not in the mood put a band-aid on it again and i think we need to pursue a must to the point they understand that they made a terrible mistake. and while some members of the u.n. security council have expressed fears of an escalation in the fighting between israel and gaza efforts to bring it to an end to fall on deaf ears because no to
7:13 am
all express not a very common view the u.s. has blocked for the 3rd time in a week a joint statement from the u.n. security council calling for an immediate cease fire but joe biden himself reiterate support for an end to hostilities and a phone call with israeli counterpart stressing israel's have the right to defend themselves but washington is facing internal scrutiny over its role in the conflict the democrats split over a planned sale to israel worth millions and one of the 1st muslim women elected to congress omar has called the sale of palling saying it will just provoke the situation and robert naiman 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 an historic
7:14 am
precedent there's never been a fight like this in congress over a weapons deal to israel when the binding ministry 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 why every day that this goes on clearly the biden history she has been trying to protect the israeli salt block 3 times a security council statement for a cease fire all other 14 members of the security council's where 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 and still to come here on the program on a worldwide shortage of kofa it shocks us raised them on full fake vaccination
7:15 am
certificates with. such a dog website by them and that story on many people just a month. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to a guest of the world the politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see it end . is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. tyson lation community. are you going the right way or are you being
7:16 am
led. by. what is true. is faith. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the death. or inmate in the shallows. it's good to have you with us today deadly landmines in civilian areas are a widespread ongoing consequence of the central african republic almost decade long civil war and the government has been fighting rebels in the country since 2012 in a battle not just for valuable mineral resources but also for influencing neighboring states a situation that has left over
7:17 am
a 1000000 people homeless many more in chronic poverty. reports from the central african republic. 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. or just to be trained to say they're supported mines 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
7:18 am
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 puting 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
7:19 am
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 and we can i sue the government has sent russian forces here for the safety of the quote collation is very quiet around here because the russians are here we don't want them to leave we want them to stay with scared 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 the rebels force local villagers to work there is 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 the poor miners can finally keep the gold for themselves and it doesn't get them much though and one of
7:20 am
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. more than a 1000 fake covert certificates have been found online in the u.k. worldwide offering false rock scene and test documents for as little as $25.00 pounds in the u.k. border staff say they cut around 100 people with fake coping papers each day mostly from africa south america and asia oded vanunu the head of the cyber security from behind the findings says problems assessing the injections of fuel demand. we have got going to war between countries that can't supply presidents wants to have and once you have. it's created
7:21 am
a black market in the global economy and once you have black market this is. we need to understand the darkness is a borrowed economy that supply things that are like a gap between the supply and demand in the global image what we believe that this is. we cannot stand the darkness but we can see the trends and the trans are very clear so we believe there is much bigger operation. president obama flew into los angeles suburb of furious at a move to house vagrants parks and beaches nearby because fires related to homelessness have tripled in the 1st 4 months of the year and comes as officials defend the plan to house the homeless in cabins and sites opponents say children would no longer be safe in the areas of origins insists the move is only temporary
7:22 am
but almost $21000.00 people have now signed a petition against the campsites highlighting the use of drugs and mental illness among the homeless on the risk of fire they also say they don't believe temporary means temporary so we've got reaction on the streets. you can knowing 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 and this problem we need a portable housing we don't need campsites we don't need storage 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 were some of the homeowners around their area don't want this area homeless people living with them and this whole proposal just putting
7:23 am
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 them so. bad part can't serve double duty it can't be a full time. homeless camp and serve as a residential camp where people actually go down spaces right out you know. academics are clamoring for positions at a new online startup that promises known what education found matthew pole told us why it's being created from from my perspective personally you know as as somebody who it happens to be openly gay. i i have seen discrimination gone down going down significantly what i see as being extraordinarily dangerous with a lot of these new theories again with critical race theory and cancel culture. is
7:24 am
a reversal of a lot of that where people cannot go beyond their identities where people live and breathe and act based upon the color of their skin based upon their sexual orientation based simply upon surface characteristics and that defines exactly who they are and how they should be treated that cuts against the american spirit and the american identity and i see that movement being very very dangerous and again that's why american scholars exists and that is among the problems that we're seeking to solve one of the main drivers behind the online programs are u.s. movement which doesn't seem race as a biological feature of it as a social construct which benefits white in me it's the concept of critical race theory is seen as maintaining social economic and political inequality while
7:25 am
recognizing the systematic racism as a part of american society. critics argue however that it rejects the concepts of truth on merit and opposes liberalism a new platform gives a recent example of a math framework where a correct answer is seen as white supremacist invading the classroom it also highlights the issues caused by movements committed to anti racist and he buys teachings such as disrupt texts which once the great gatsby in some shakespeare plays were placed with books believed to better represent nonwhite people. for many parents opposed culture and education in the texas town of south lake parents have voted against plans to hire an equity ending kluge and director in some states including tennessee and i have banned critical race theory classes and some families are so angry they have upped and moved to florida where schools don't teach white privilege and michael wrecked and walt who was responsible for the
7:26 am
scholarly standards of the platform gave us his thoughts. american education today k. through 12 that is grade school or primary and secondary education as well as college education is shot through with ideology and a very pernicious ideology. critical race theory and. walk nest as we call it here i'm not opposed to the discipline of themselves i'm opposed to the way they're being taught they're being taught through an ideological lens. through critical race theory which is a way of demonstrating whites and telling them they're all racists and that there is this that make racism in the united states so we wanted to establish a platform for non indoctrinating education where students and parents and
7:27 am
adults can receive education without being indoctrinated and without having to go through the kind of shaming routine we're going to be delivering this content free of this ideology and underwritten by them. that are enshrined in the american constitution which are we we think should be common to every place that is free speech freedom of self-determination the right to own property and i'm just some of your stories for this hour here on our c international we're back in about half an hour's time with more of your worldwide headlines with just. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic developments only
7:28 am
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 a dream shaped by our own person. who dares thinks. we dare to ask. a new gold rush is underway and gone up thousands of illiquid workers are flocking to the gold fields hoping to strike it rich here's the good. as they are particles
7:29 am
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. hi i'm max guys or this is the kaiser report i may have to start wearing even wider ties says for going back to the 1970s possibly even a leisure suit powder blue of course stacy cray i know i actually
7:30 am
thought of wearing my poncho for this because you know how that how flower child thing was happening in the seventy's and of course you and i remember the seventy's during the oil embargo and then the iranian revolution which caused price spikes in gasoline and shortages here across america and we have them again max and i drove from northern virginia down to north carolina so about a 325 mile drive and as we're heading further and further south there are more and more gas stations without any gas and those that did have gasoline had huge lines sometimes miles long so it was so weird this time of pandemic and shortages and loads of things like microchips and other in the beginning of the pandemic of course we had food shortages now we also have oversupply and like you know money and treasuries and bonds all over the place that's why we have negative and stuff like that so we have also surprised signal.
