This is the first time israels pounded eastern lebanon since eruption of exchanges between the regime and hezbollah in. Response has fired over 100 rockets toward israeli positions, the Resistance Movement said it will continue attacking israeli targets until genocide in gaza stops, but israely military has recently carried out aerial raids even on residential areas of lebanon, and from one of the story we were earlier joined by our beirot correspondent matty am sal, they do. Target balbak and eastern lebanon in the vicinity of the cities of tariya and balbak itself, we know that there was total destruction of the buildings that were targeted and one person has been killed uh previous time also it was more of an open area that was targeted the previous time like agricultural lands, there was some sort of a residence there, but that also let to the killing of two hazbillah members. And now with this in place, it seems that hazbullah has basically become impatient with the israels presumptuousness when it comes to how they are targeting uh lebanon, the fact that theyre trying to put lot of pressure on the resistance and on lebanon itself with the fact that you do have some opposition from heizballahs political foes when it comes to hizballahs supportive front for the resistance. Inside gaza and for the people of gaza and so it seemed that this is why hazballah had in retaliation launched some were talking about more more than 50 rockets that were um witnessed or that were reported in some areas the israelies are talking about more than 100 rockets from on two different rounds a group of rockets uh was against the galila region another salvoy was against in the Golan Heights and it seemed that they many of. Them landed and struck their targets and how that will play out also is another surprise, the number of rockets that hazbullah is showing day by day seemingly increasing and targeting. Areas that are further off, yesterday, for example, uh, they targeted areas in the goal on heights uh more and more and so it seemed that for hazbulah they are basically unifying the land when it comes to how they target and what they target.

Uks National Health service has been a source of pride for millions of more than 70 years, but the nhs is now facing serious challenges and a great deal of criticism. The british medical associations warned Healthcare System is collapsing. Has this report from london. Britains treat their National Health service, better known as the nhs, with an almost religious reverence. We grow up using the nhs, from the cradle to the grave for the point of use, and that has tremendous significance for our lives. But today, this eternal source of National Pride is under increased scrutiny with new figures showing more than 120,000 people died last year in england alone from delays in lifesaving treatment. The nhs is a statefunded Healthcare System founded in 1948. Back then, it cost around 20 billion dollars in todays money to run. Last year the government spent more than 181 billion. Despite that, more than 7 Million People are now on the waiting list in england. Alone, thats nearly 12 of the population having to wait at least 52 weeks for health consultation. Our politicians arent really serving the public interest, they are serving a neoliberal agenda which is to transfer the countrys natural assets and wealth to overseas corporations like United Health of america and other big multinationals. The government has promised to cut the long cues, but has made little progress. The situation is. No better in the rest of the kingdom, in scotland and northern ireland, one in 80 people, and in wales, one in 20 are having to wait more than year for treatment. Theres also the energy cost and inflation that has reduced the value of the nhs budget, meaning it now has to do more with significantly less. Add to the mix, a shortage of staff, which means more pressure on exhausted employees. Weve had more than decade of defunding since the. Financial crash, this has led to a real terms wage cut for staff, the whole population, the health needs have gone up, we have trouble keeping hold of stuff, and weve also lost significant capacity with the nhs through privatization, so we dont have enough beds, we dont have enough staff, and the staff we do have are being treatedly, the Health Service is also coping with aging population, a large number of people now live with chronic conditions. Disease and diabetes, the covid19 pandemic severely tested the nhs with its aftermath still posing serious challenges, Health Officials and experts warn for the uk National Health service to survive, the next government should declare it a national emergency.
