israel continues its. 100. day. israel palestinian rockets rained down forcing people into bomb shelters. 12 israelis have died in the latest pension is meantime are among the most vulnerable. if it. keeps me strong. young people in the. u.s. . among democrats with warnings of the. conflict.

around the world around the clock this is your source for your worldwide news it's all international with me. and there's just no less israel's bombing raids across gaza where the conflict is now raging for a day at least $212.00 palestinians including $61.00 kids have died since almost up to 12 being killed by palestinian rocket fire on monday night the sky over gaza city was lit up by stop explosions. it's how a blocks in gaza have been left in a ruined by the air raids including medical facilities i got to stand more than 100

homes have been razed to the ground and many more severely damaged so we hit the streets and spoke to the locals. well i said it was my little children my poor 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 air strike was very strong we run to the children to drive them out into the streets and save them from the bombing we are terrified i think 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 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 among the buildings hit in the latest israeli strikes a cut out of red crescent society says 2 people including a child were killed and 10 wounded of the airstrike came a day after the doha funded group allocated a $1000000.00 to support those affected by the asterix well a 10 year old girl also shared with us the shock and pain of seeing houses being bombed all around. i dream about a little better future i dream to be a doctor and i dream to be helping my people but when that happens i'm thinking kids don't have the right to learn any more so what do you need to do. i'm just trying it with

a china stuff myself well. i think. i can every day at night or at least in 3 years the missiles in the mornings we hear the cries and screams of people so we try to check it out so we can feel so speak for both even townhouse people because we can't do anything in this war we're just kids in the parents don't know how to raise their skins and then in the situation it's hard for them and hard for us no one is safe in palestine no one. the un's that middle east peace coordinator has warned their dog is rapidly running out of key resources and soon won't even be able to care for those injured in the conflict the territory is suffering constant power blackouts and a lack of clean water a local journalist. reports. the devastation by the israeli warplanes oh freeze it in shell homes and different parts of the gaza strip but you can literally 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 lack 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 i 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 they're 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 soar and people market in their salaries a lot of them in this regard locals with as right know the electricity started

coming the locals here desperately want to fill in their trunks 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 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. well just a few hours ago. hundreds of palestinians marched in the west bank demanding an end to the israeli aerial campaign people held up banners with a message stop the genocide in gaza and israeli forces were seen filling the

streets of bethlehem with the video footage showing them using tear gas against protesters at the gathering comes out the party itself has joined calls for a general strike in the west bank and the arab israeli cities in a show of unity. let's take this a bit further to have a conversation with carman a senior research at the international institute for counter-terrorism in israel good to see you today sir thanks for joining us here on our see we often hear from the i.d.f. the israeli defense forces that there are only targeting militant factions and forces in gaza if they are only attacking militants and fighters and why are we seeing so many civilian casualties do you think. we have to do so it's the poor who need must be doesn't know it should. be this way be or will be scrambling. journalism we've got any idea of a real reason why we all be on the military hardware then we started

there are kids near drones aren't even. on our room she will. listen all the commercial grounds and. if you look to wherever. they are in the us no you just use the in $20000.00 words the sense that there are i think or even superior not that it's abuse or they are in the media or is the nation including schools and mosques are no longer 2014 operation they are worth fighting for most in schools. so some of the really good they don't want to be the one t.v. succeeded in fueling the scramble use of human thought to come in and started something like that you are going to but i don't know you little that i does not want us to understand what you're saying you're saying the palestinians are not the palestinians they don't have an air force the palestinians they don't have tanks for example but israel is conducting hundreds of overnight bombing campaigns on

a tiny little stretch of land that is gaza are you sure that only targeting militant fighters and militant factions. as i explained most of these programs are going to do some of the behind human shields in 2000. we don't struggle and maybe. they do go all the same and if we are not the city and the building or our undergrown tolerance or what or why. i'm going since $1000.00 thousands of commuters will go in peace travel plans just use more of the same already. we've lost the moment it needs to be don't you won't buy from us so how we can listen to really moral again. maybe soon or it since it's so difficult obama is going to try and find a middle ground here because clearly tom calma there are 2 sides in every conflict

here obviously now i'm not going to take my the side here but you've got to sizing engaged in this conflict i want to ask you there regardless of the palestinians and yes you're right they have been firing mortar shells and basically homemade rockets into israel but what do you see as the end game for israel that what point will israel say ok we've done enough we've leveled gaza now we can return to peace what is the end game for gaza if it sees me for i tell of eve do you think. he's a little gentle hamas not to return to this in riyadh when and using the money the international community united states europe the european union the gulf states give them in order to feed their population to develop water and electricity and they're using them all this money in building these military infrastructure because they won this election obviously are they going to want who you think have their constituency they don't give

a damn to their population because they know where you were when they've been besides behind the walls of the school behind the walls for. the pleasure of the public to be striken oh if was we going to do it otherwise it is not it is another possibility and they are in danger and they can close this their own book relation they don't give a damn to their population not to comment that's coming to forgive me for jumping in we have such little time but i really want to talk to you as much as i can do you find it concerning at all that america the joe biden administration has now approved a large weapons sale to israel at a time of this renewed conflict is that why are you at all. i don't. use a 7 good normal sequence if you will for what was in syria where is the blue government which was responsible for the death of culpability but i'm sorry i thought i did i feel rushed right russia was illegally invited by a democratically elected president of syria to come in to help against

a most scenary an army of most scenarios and your questioning of russia's role in syria let's try and keep our attention on the gaza strip right now why what the ones are going to do what are they going to take the states what's what this kid has he wants i'm going to take in the gaza strip to stop we'll be calling of civilians talk to calm and united states but what are these writers need when we're currently in game by these grabber. now i must be strong and not so good that you know that in 2007 how did you blow. the $200.00 members of the security and civil governments of gaza these are cute $100.00 beautiful little science building in gaza and the throw them down and the bus you're going to be has no so to be is no but i want to. include a lot of gaza because of hamas so if you think it's going to get what you think it's an escalator comment i'm sorry longer comment it like i got

a comment do you think this is going to escalate is it going to get worse do you think in the coming days and i think if you go into the if will be there will be as useful on your program would be what would happen after this goes if it was to be generous to rearm and to build another credible human shield underground over the ground there situation because if you read war 5 years what we are monitoring here at all of the international military saudi but of course online as well we're keeping a very very close watch on what's happening in israel and the surrounding region so that the common thank you very much for joining us a senior researcher at the international institute for counterterrorism thank you for joining us here on our teeth. thank you. and i thank you for joining us for the program as well the israeli military is saying hamas fired more than rockets in short succession in the early hours of tuesday into the south of the country a 2 israelis are reported to have died bringing the death toll to 12 and we heard from israelis living through this bombardment. i don't. look it's not

logical that hamas is dictating how we live from 10 to 12 but yeah you can rest then hamas launches rockets it cannot continue like this they want to attack gaza so they are left without weapons to launch an s. c.e. 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. with each new salvo of palestinian rockets israelis have been running to the nearest bomb shelter for anyone with limited mobility that can certainly be a challenge r.t. correspondent paula spoke to one pensioner in the region. 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 from a cleft or bomb shelter pretty fit really hope for the reason that and actually to really pull her family to italy and the very fear that there will be a. carriage and i went here and obviously and advocate the top of the flat on the 1st floor all and i can't get that to the mic left only go down the stairs to the ficus 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 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 the bomb calls you hear them move move and walk go through me back if they're been in in fear it's cracking if we knew of them alone if 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 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 that level of this country and and the confidence that we've got the best defense force in the world and the korean we have 3 of them

and most of my grandkids are here in israel and that gift that keeps me very strong and after a lot of people that are left here the biggest waste is that this war will be israel's last seen enough to know that it's unlikely. their prime minister binyamin netanyahu says the operation in gaza will continue as long as needed to restore peace and security for israelis you blame hamas for the palestinian civilian deaths saying the group is using them as human shields and we spoke with israeli foreign ministry spokesperson paul hershel 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 neighborhoods firing from schools from hospitals from mosques each and

every time a war crime in an orbit solved 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 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 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 we once were dragged into this conflict been marching with 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. in a 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 have fallen on deaf ears because not all expressed a common view of 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 reiterated support for an end to hostilities in a phone call with israeli counterpart though stressing israel's right to defend itself well meantime washington is facing internal scrutiny over its role in the conflict because the democrats are split over a planned oms sale to israel worth millions and one of the 1st muslim women elected to congress omar has called the sale of polling saying it will only provoke the situation robert naiman an independent consultant on u.s. foreign policy claims biden's team knew exactly what was going on but we still went ahead with a very lucrative 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 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 may 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 and 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 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 and also the coming on the program on including a fake vaccinations a difficult sell selling like hotcakes on the dock whether those details to come amid the rest of what you say well what happens.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. let it be an arms race. i don't see. very. widespread consequence of the central african republic so almost a decade long civil war and the government has been fighting rebels in the country since 2012 and about. mineral resources but also influence with neighboring countries it's a situation that has left over a 1000000 people homeless and 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 and certain roads hoping to blow up a military truck and seize their weapons and supplies. just to be trained to say they're supported by 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 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 top gear. 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 with. 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 skinheads and finally we reached a gold mine 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 muddy pools rivals local villagers to work there as slaves basically 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 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 it we are only for

a $3.00. r.t. from the central african republic. the international red cross and red crescent movement are both rich countries to share out their covert vaccines with poorer nations and says. need to urgently show actual property to allow jobs to be made fast and cheaply worldwide and a cold the holding of those who is morally wrong pointing out that the world's poorest 50 countries only have 2 percent of world supplies i would discuss those issues with emmanuel couple of the red cross and red crescent. right now they did world a seeing a very unfair race with reach countries running 30 times faster than then poor countries so 30 percent of people in rich countries being vaccinated or least every

received one goes and only one percent to poor countries not having received any any i've just received $11.00 though so it's really the issue of inequities a massive issue that requires the attention. they wore and didn't basic survival from from from bombs or or resized say is that priority and old the public health measures that are normally plays even in peacetime is. clearly a group down in terms of priority so more as a group of 8 the ability of communities to respond to emergencies of public health nature and then now and avoidably allow the viruses be the a bowling the or c. or or the 19 that's true to spread more more easily within the communities. the estimate is that around the world around that

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 what they did the ability to bring down they need time to make 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 into what our red cross volunteers are present all of us do in countries talking to people listening to people responding to their questions and trying to to address the young psyche that is there and i think they're more will see the court and positive effect of vaccines then more people will reduce their resistance and decide to go and get the vaccine for those ones that are lucky we have it available . the u.k. has one of the world's highest vaccination rates but efforts to bring infections under control are being somewhat undermined by

a black market in fake so difficult more than a 1000 sellers have been caught in the u.k. offering forged vaccine and test documents for about 25 pounds and border staff say they catch around a 100 people trying to get into the country with counterfeit papers every day and we spoke with a loaded of a new now the head of the cyber security firm behind these findings. we have a large gap in the war between countries that can supply and can prisoner to once you have ever seen and once you have. it's created a black market in the global economy and once you have black market this is created a lot of we need to understand that the darkness is a parallel economy that supply things that are like a gap between the supply and demand in the global image we believe that this is like the people who cannot see the darkness but we can see the trends and the

trends are very clear and so we believe that this is much bigger operation. that's the program for this half hour here on r.t. international live from moscow we are back with more of your choose day worldwide headlines. this is one business where you can't afford to invest i'm rachel in washington it

coming out of business.
