hospital or local railway station was also targeted. unset ablaze a residential area, and some apartment buildings were hit to with at least one person reported killed. and 3 others wounded there ortiz from on coster of has been to the hospital that was shelled on center. this report. ukrainian military continue shelling all districts of the next. we are now in one of the areas. actually, this is a hospital that was chilled by ukrainian nationalist. you can see there is still a rocket lane here. and maternity ward was struck in this hospital net resulted in a multiple injuries. according to local officials, at least 10 people are now being treated for various wounds, also in other places in the next, a civilian infrastructure was targeted. so cars, homes, multiple, ha,

ha, puerto buildings have also been struck here right now as i'm speaking. the shilling, it still continues all over the nest. now this is what the hospital looks from outside. several grad rockets landed right on to the roof of this medical facility . mind you, this is not the 1st time ukrainian nationalists have targeted civilian infrastructure including hospital hospitals. now in this area, another maternity ward was frog just like a couple of months back when an elementary award on the other side of the nest was so old. so i hit and that resulted in several injuries yet another big news line today, a fire has broken out on the territory of the russian controlled is upper russia. nucular power plant after it was shell, that's according to local officials who claim kiev is trying to bring about

a disaster with missiles fired up the plums. they're calling on the international atomic energy agency to intervene. no casualties have been reported from the showing or been numerous power lines linked to the station where broth dawn last month. ukrainian forces reportedly attempted to target the area using a drone. well to discuss the developments we cross live 2 or 3 underline thomas report for f for his take. hi thomas. on that last piece we were just speaking about the upper rouge it nuclear plant shall. that's territory, at least with local officials, claiming the key of bringing about a catastrophic event. if some of those missiles hit the, the plant, the term playing with fire seems a gross understatement. in this case. yeah, well, i just return from the net. so i kind of confirmed that he has

a really shooting and everything that they can. so i'm not surprised about this, but it's not the 1st time. and the thing is, it's really dangerous because we point up such and infrastructure the cooling system. and i don't know what the, i think you know, because this, if they would really make it make if they would hit it and make it hard damage, they would destroy their own country. i don't understand what's going on there. i don't know what they think about the key if it's, well, i was 3 weeks from the net and really i don't have any understanding. well, officials thomas have said that the international atomic agency, they want them to intervene. do you think it will? i'm a little bit of a general problem. we have the same thing with the prism and don't ask you enough. the official borders of ukraine include don bass and also be of the plan. so key of has to give the okay to send somebody of them. but they can't cross the front

lines, so they have to enter the area from russia and rest and ship. it's not allowing people to enter the area from russia. so key it will prevent these visits visit if they did as far into next. i was there when there was discussed whether the, you know, the un should visit the prism which was formed by keith and the, you know, the of the you and refuse to go. i was ready to just go with them to watch it. so this is the problem and the west, me a just cover the fact that here is not allowing obvious international delegations to enter the territory from the rush water, which is the only safe way to enter them. can we turn and tell us just some of the other shelling today? the maternity wing being struck is making headlines, perhaps not all over the west, but it's a big story. but that comes, the civilian infrastructure is almost being hit on a daily basis and done yet. why there's so much of that. go on, reported. well, wait for what it's reported because it's happening. it started somehow. with the

butterfly mind, they started throwing from last weekend on the net and they are really, really attacking actively in the civil infrastructure right now. i left next wednesday and i'm quite happy because what's happening there and up there. i know what friends are telling me. it's just how we have to ask you a way of doing this, but it's really, it's really heavy. what give us a sense of when you can, is it just in incessant, can people sleep at night? well, when i was there, you know, you get used to it, the grandma sitting them from the house and normally they discuss, you know, the shots of a neighbor and know they are sitting when discussing. well, this was not the whole time. was it? it's question real. i was working most of the time and strict are they don't it's, it's great, beautiful city with a really green center. it's warm and you have the feeling when it's time, when it's quiet that you have a holiday and then you hear explosions again. so i was working in the city send on

st. updates because of the weather. and the good didn't have there. and it's really surreal. you know, i mean, i met with you a call from the, with germany and people, you see the people eating and you see nobody even lifting the half because people are used to them. it's, it's, i'm believable. russian lead forces are continuing to push key of forces from their struggles in the den. yes, republic. i know you say to ask why the shelling has intensified, but there's not appeared to be the primary reason. again, i don't want to interpret this because what's really happening with the students instructor and then showing civil civilians what i have seen. i have no words for it, so ok. there really no, no military targets where the shooting i would, i would say ok if there are totally understand. but there is nothing and they shouldn't get it anyway. so i, i'm out of any understanding. yeah. thomas, you can see the pure frustration, even anger in your voice. there guys,

you're speaking to his thomas. thank you though for coming on the program and sharing what you've seen yourself direct on today's developments as well. we've been speaking to thomas roper journalist and author. ah, get another story to bring you to day 7 people have been killed including a 5 year old child after earth strikes by is really forces on the gaza strip out according to the palestinian health ministry. a further 40 people were reported injured. a warning, you may find the following images disturbing. this village you can see at the moment of building and garza was struck. israel sent out the leader of the militant wing of the stomach. g. how'd organization the movements in palestine it was killed in what was described as a special operation against that group. and this on verifying video allegedly shows the aftermath of the tank when people carrying the body of the 5 year old victim.

the strike was a part of the anti g had, is really operation. they've named breaking don't the same time the, it's really defense ministry at the most, the state of emergency in an ag kilometers zone and run gas extending into israel early the country's military. and it was sending more troops to the area in the case of possible reprisal attacks following the strikes. the recent rest of the senior militant in the west bank in all the policy and branch of the stomach jihad did confirm the death of one of its commanders. in the strike, it also issued a warning to israel saying it needs to quote for prayer, for what is coming in as well as cross live, no to international security, expert side mohammed ali for his tech hello their side and israel. thank

you. of course, israel said it's operation was to targets islamic jihad key commander's there on to mass groups. but according to the him, us ministry, 7 people are dead including a young child who we purported to see their being carried by. i imagine his family, perhaps his father, more than 40 injured. and what do you make of the it's really justification for the attack. ok, thank you for having me. let me explain the context, the timing and the intent, and the strategic purpose behind this. very belligerent attack during the month of the secret months in the slamming calendar. i think you should see it in that context of 4 things. number one, president biden's recent visit to israel about 2 weeks ago in which there

was a joint declaration between the us and israel. and the us will use all elements of national bar group united on the nuclear bomb. so it is a direct and valid dying israeli attempt to provoke hamas brigade and for perhaps also his will up so that the indirect gleam can be leveled against iran. and you know, today the talks a it on you, you have to started indiana. so it is a better time to attempt to subsidize that, but the larger job want to go. context is more important. busy for your viewers to understand, because you know, from the us national security strategy, they have identified 3 major challenges, or threats us china,

russia and you know, and what that he will seems to be doing directly or indirectly is too damned and new, and revoke all of these 3 challenges globally and regionally, the green water should be seen in that context to load and russia. and the recent visit of nancy pelosi diamond could be seen in that context who know ruled china. and now this is a reminder, a number of civilians, his it walking lost a sight. israel says that this was part of its anti g had operation and it's resulted in israel declaring a state of emergency in an 80 kilometer zone or on gas is saying that border is in gaza were being attacked and that they will not be dictated to by palestinian

authorities on their own territory. this is what israel allege is. is it expecting now a heavy response to its strike here is, is this just going to get bigger? i think it is unfortunately likely to get much bigger. and that is the strategic objective crew would come off and i was free game in good game and, but has eventually luring his bullet as well. and so that, you know, again, the police would be good on it on in the, because basically, it seems to be an indirect proxy war being at the geopolitical level, being that on and delivery. and that is the objective of soon these to you must also recognize or receded by heavy

deployment of the stream. and that you must also visited all the formations during the day before these attacks took place. so it was a valid part out bad plan today. it was not an angry outburst, so it is deliberately, were walking and engaging these organizations into a long conflict and are also due to the secret month of i'm just ready for that was the calendar side as well. thank you very much for your time today. we appreciate it's in the really immediate aftermath of outside mohammed ali international security expert where we're going to stay with this story because i believe that we, we can get a connection live to gaza itself and some insight from local journalist in could dory hens appreciate of course your time today, i'm sure you're busy updating the world really and what's happening

a few hours since start is really are a strike. what's the situation like on the ground? not what's the feeling? there are 2. ok, so fear is is in every house. now in gaza today around 4153 very loud explosion. have been heard that it's really unfortunate target in an apartment. if a building in the middle of a reminder, it's the center of the gaza strip. it's full of residential houses and shops and it's a very, very busy area and laza and today it's friday and through one it's off. so i believe the situation have been way worse if it was a normal day and everyone was on the streets and working as really strikes a t 8 people, including a part of your old girl. and they see the job ready, a commander of goods brigades, the military arm of diploma. she had

a japanese place but was killed also with them. it's really the air strike in 2019. he was reportedly killed in the apartment targeted by the israeli, or teens and a piece warranty or other palestinians have been hospitalized and injured. however, we are still hearing every true work brains and is really drawn in the other areas in august to have been also targeted, including community and shape and islamic jihad, the enemy, which is read the like, is the party that begun this war, and they have to do teach to themselves and their people and also tells you that whom it's not focused person that in

a statement that they will respond to this escalation. actually everyone cared from the night and the darkness because every time i strike start when it's nice and dark, we still don't know what we're waiting, but i'm sure that we're going to keep it. so there's an actual time for tonight about imagine as well. and just while we have you in the program, was there any sense that this operation, what israel say it is against islamic jihad, that movement was coming, wasn't expected? will actually yes, this comes after that is ready tension. would they climate jihad after arresting the senior palestinian leader but studying the occupied with bank in jeanine? it's also worth mentioning, the cut over time in the commercial across thing, which is responsible for the flow of needed for power plant. and it's really air is costing, had been closed since tuesday. know the people and patients were allowed to do

because the strip and no fuel was allowed to interguards a strip. even n g o and international working in the gaza strip were not allowed to be in the past couple of days. and i know couple of people that are now talk in the gaza strip and are not able to need. we don't know what borders are going to and i'm sure the next upcoming hours were that a lot and thanks very much for giving us a sense of the situation there and some of the anxiousness i would suppose in the coming hours as well. and could dory local journalists in gaza. think you think you can know the story the bring you to the turkish president rich of ty, berta. one says he hopes his country will open a new page in by last for a relations with russia. he's meeting vladimir putin and the russian black c resort . we believe that meeting is still ongoing. we're just waiting for little bit of

car vacation on something. and so those talks occurring, as the russian president said, europe should be thinking turkey for an uninterrupted supply of russian gas to the continent. but it's cheaper. so turk stream, in contrast to all other routes to europe, works well in without problems and delivers energy. not only to turkish customers, but to europe also. so i suppose our european partners should thank turkey for providing continuous transit of our gas to urine latimer, putin and regina tie. very dawn are always in touch. they can always pick up the phone and make a phone call or meet face to face like they did in the rainy capital to wrong 2 weeks ago. well now they are meeting in san she why that often? well, when western governments are putting maximum effort into isolating russia, moscow is expecting anchorage to become more how to part of for mediating the so called ukrainian grain deal,

which allowed the ships with the crating crops to leave the port city of odessa and also unblocked some of the russian exports known to kit hoosier. i do believe that we will turn a new page in our turkish russian relations. this also applies to energy. this is especially true of the grain corridor through the black sea along which we have taken step austin told him the head of an election campaign in turkey. the turkish president is seeking to create a buffer zone in northern syria by carrying out some form of military operation against the kurdish militias. in that part of syria, which turkey sees as terrorist out for that the turkish government will have to get some sort of greenlight or possibly a yellow light from russia. and the meeting in sashi is a perfect opportunity for that. now we do have to remember that turkey is a natal member,

and that's why any close contacts between mister dawn and mister putin will always be carefully watched by major nato countries. and of course, the summit in sashi is not an exception. beijing house severed communication in several areas with washington now as retaliation for nancy pelosi trip to taiwan. the ministry published a list of barriers in which there will no longer be any coordination between the 2 countries. it includes a dialogue between defense departments, military maritime consultation cooperation, all the legal migration and climate change. a plan phone call between senior military commanders was also counselled earlier on friday. the chinese foreign ministry and nines, personal functions on high speaker pelosi and her family members, adding in a stinging rebuke that the u. s. is an active pro on a crisis. make approval. excuse me. a crisis maker. in this case. i had told her

that everyone knows that the current situation is entirely caused by pelosi and american politicians. this kind of arrogance, selfishness and hypocrisy of the us. it should really be changed. the u. s. is an active perfectly her and crisis maker. the essence of the taiwan issue is not a democratic issue, but a major principle issue concerning china sovereignty and territorial integrity. while china is continuing as live fire drills as part of the operation, beijing has launched. most of the missiles including ballistic regional observers say this is the 1st time chinese missiles, the phone over taiwan drills are being conducted in 6 zones surrounding the island, 3 of which overlap areas. the tie pe contends are part of its territorial waters. taiwan sees it has activated its defense trucking systems, alleging 11 chinese missiles were fired into waters around the island. now also, taiwan was reportedly forced to counsel at least 40 flights its largest airport due

to the drill or lines are trying to avoid time when need your space with type a working to help reroute some international flight. well, in response, washington has decided to reschedule its own ballistic missile test off the coast of california. attention with china surrounding taiwan. continue to china, engages in the stabilizing military exercises around taiwan. the united states is demonstrating instead the havior over responsible nuclear power by reducing the risks of miscalculation and this perception. well, the vice chair of the shanghai center things like nelson wong believes miss pelosi was being deliberately provocative by visiting taiwan, forcing china to retaliate. whether this is going to be a long term thing, or it's just a temporary measure, that's something we have to wait to see. we have to see the developments of the

situation is quite obviously, a provocative step. taken by the us side to irritate china. and despite of repeated warnings and disagreements and persuasion, to now say, pollution, polosa inter counselor, she went ahead and make a trip to taiwan. this is not an individual visit because she has an official position. number 3 in the us government, she's the house speaker. of course, china is going to to, to show its determination. and these measures are all part of the retaliation measures of china. all nation should follow the u. s. sanctions regime against russia bounce according to washington's

envoy to the united nations linda thomas greenfield. if a country decides to engage in with russia where there are sanctions, then they are break, breaking those sanctions or breaking our sanctions. and in some cases they're breaking un sanctions with other countries. and we caution countries not to break those sanctions because then if they do, they stand the chance of having actions taken against them for, for breaking holy ambassadors. comments came at the start of her african tour, which itself comes a week after the russian foreign ministers trip to the continent. uganda was her 1st port of coal. it's recently expounded its ties with moscow instead of bucking washington sanctions, or wherever the envoy revealed african nations will be able to buy grain and fertilizers without punishment from russia. while food insecurity is not the only

problem faced by african nations, inflation rates, many times greater than those seen in europe for the u. s. are plaguing the continent causing soaring fuel prices and higher living cost anomalous warren. it's only set to get worse across live to moody bed, madiba co founder of the inside factor and use group. joining us from at south africa you're most welcome. the u. s. is pushing really a type of my sanctions. are your sanctions principal? it appears in its approach to get the world behind them. washington would like to lead the world and dictating policy. our african countries are the able to decide for themselves in the face of the pressure, or is there so much coming that they're going to have to bend to the u. s. approach . what's your take? look, i think the comments by the, by the, by the vote by, by the net state. and there was simply another form of quantization. the form of

security complex form, the thinking that they can dictate to the rest of the world, what they should do, how we should think, as if i can people hunting for the results. but i think african liter for a very long time or state prison from there, it's been a phase of america. but i think the time that i can begin to do things without the will begin to do things on themselves for themselves and for their own people. so i think the person will vote on that can be that, but i see there's been a total weight against anything which is with them, which is about the content. and i just want to do that. yeah, buster to the un american linda thomas said that african me if it's actions against him for buying russian oil is the u. s. diplomacy level is limited to only threats . it seems would be bad. like what exactly does she mean about facing actions? what she going to do against africa, you do you think that it's going to be direct action is going to be knock on effects? what do you reckon?

i think it will be to be direct effect and which is great. introduced, analyze the economies of those great develop the leaders of those countries. but i think it just goes back to the maternity or the way they they, they simply don't care about what's happening. are they want to push the on edge and at the expense of that? can people, i think that schedule will have to the right up above that's going to be doesn't show dealership when i have to, to, to stop, by the risk to form some problem with this nation's, you know, with china, with russia, to buy this global c p u, from, from, from, from there is the u. s. has expressed concern about africa because of a possible food crisis there. but why don't they mention the energy crisis inflation snowballing on the continent? do you think? i mean, because doesn't seem to care, but rather what happens at africa, benefits and the only reason why dimensions of what they want to make it seem as if

it's a rational sport with regards to the military operation in euclid. so they wanted to blame russia for that, you know, without looking at the facts about looking at they actually beta key or we could always be with regards to section, you know, there's a request on the content of the us section. and the way you know, so you know, just talk to a question, i just feel that they did their you don't k, i don't know. the reason why there was some information other than was mentioned was watching the key player there was because energy, anything that bridge at the end of africa, good job to come from.
