Several areas of gaza strip, particularly here in der balah city and almograga neighborhood and even refugee camp, heavy uh artillery shilling reach those areas uh and that shilling actually was maintained over the night and even in jabal refugee camp and in kanyunis city the israeli artillery also maintained and continued their attacks and air strikes in the meantime the central the central areas of khanun city and jabalya refugee camp also were hit uh relentlessly by those israeli continuous air strikes several horizontal buildings destroyed over those cruel attacks. The holy month of ramadan is observed as a special and holy month for muslims across the globe, but the situation is different for palestinians in gaza where theyre living under catastrophic conditions due to the israely war. Lets take a listen to comments by. The residence in gaza, we have been unstable, moving from one place to the next, there is no shelter or anything, theres no food, there is water, nothing, not even the most basic Living Essentials like bread, were forced to eat white plants when it rain and cook them, that is our situation, we hope from god to relieve this crisis and end this war soon, i dont know, look at my stomach how shrunk it has become. I was 80 kilograms and now im around 65 kilos. Ive lost 15 kilos. When you look at people, you see they talk to themselves. They can barely walk because of lack of food. There is no food or anything here at all. Of course, despite the fact that we are on the siege, starving and despite the malnutrition that our dear children, patients and elders are suffering from. We are still performing the tarav prayers during the holy months of ramadan. We ask almighty god for a relief soon to our people in northern gaza who are under siege from all sides. Australia says that it will resume funding to the un agency for Palestinian Refugees on rua. After consideration by the National Security committee this week, australia is unpausing our contribution. We have worked with partners and obviously youve seen the European Union and canada also unp their funding with the united nations, we have worked with unra and we have taken advice from agencies and from Australian Government lawyers and all of those has informed the consideration of the nsc that i reference today. The Australian Foreign minister also stress that honor and its operations are critical to providing assistance to the starving. Palestinians in gaza. Earlier this week, sweden and canada also announced the resumption of their funding to the un agency. They were among the 16 countries that paused aid after israel accused some honor staffers of involvement in hamass october the 7th operation. Honor however has described the allegations as unsubstantiated, saying that israel had extracted confessions from its personnel under torture. A senior eu official also said israel had not provided any evidence to support its claims. Conrow has been a lifeline for millions of palestinians since 1949, just months after the creation of israel, in occupied palestine. Now weve been holding an exclusive interview with the deputy leader of the Palestinian Islamic jihad movement, in it he details the latest cease fire plan proposed by the resistance in gaza, but cast out on israely willingness to reach a political settlement. New proposal was submitted which divides the agreement, meaning that the first phase would begin, which includes the prisoner swap, and we agreed to add other elements to it. Which would include a withdraw from the rashed street and the salahdeen square, which would allow for the return or guarantee the return the displaced to their homes in the north of the gaza strip and gaza city. The second phase which includes the swap of the soldiers, which must include guarantees for an end of the war, an end to the aggression and an end to the sees fire, and the third phase would include pledges to begin the reconstruction of gaza, we believe that the Israeli Government because it includes number of members of the far right will not respond and it has maneuvent, there is maneuvering on the part of a netanyahu government. India however said that such israeli maneuvering will not lead anywhere because of palestinian steadfastness. He said the resistance is carrying out operations in areas which israel claims to have captured including in the north. The strip and in khan unis to the south, the resistance official also highlighted the us complicity in the israeli genocide in gaza. In this aggression, there is american agreement with israel. And the. American administration is a complete accomplice with israel despite the crocodile tears which they are shedding, so the goals are to eliminate the resistance, and these are american israeli joint strategic goals. So the goals are the same, but the. Is a disagreement regarding the priorities, the americans talk for example about sparing civilians, but the civilians are being killed with american weapons and bombs, and some of these weapons. Described as an act of hypocrisy, uss delivery of limited aid to gaza through airdrops and temporary seaports while delivering weapons to israel, he said the us is attempting to mislead the International Conscience and buy time for israel, and he also pointed to israeli threats to invade the refugee pack city of rafa, describing them as meaningless given the large extent of israeli losses and casualties elsewhere in gaza, which he stressed, the regime is concealing. The International Court of justice says it will hold hearings in nicaraguas case against germany for aiding israel and its genocidal war on gaza. The world court said the hearings will take place on april 8th and 9th. According to nicaragua, germany is violating the 1948 Genocide Convention and the 1949 geneva conventions on the laws of war in the occupied palestinian territories. Earlier this month nicaragua asked the icj to issue emergency measures requiring berlin. To stop military aid to israel and reverse its decision to stop funding onrua. The icj recently issued an interrum ruling in a case against israel brought by south africa. It called on the regime to take all necessary measures to prevent genocide in gaza, however un experts say israel appears to be in breach of that order. Ground fighting rages on across the gaza strip with Palestinian Resistance fighters repelling attacks by Israeli Forces. The military.

The group says the regimes troops were targeted while moving explosive devices to building in al zahra municipality. A separate operation there. Alaassam fighters carried out rocket attacks against five israeli mercava tanks. The algorits brigades also launched mortar shells a gathering of the regime soldiers. Israel says it has lost 250 of its troops since the regimes ground and of gaza began in late october, palestinian groups, however say the actual number of the regimes casualties is much higher and israel is hiding it to avoid public anger. Operation took israel off guard. Playing the victim, the regime called it an unprovoked attack, but did hamas really attack the regime out of the blue with no good reason .

People across russia are heading to the post to choose new president for the next six years. The vote is taking place across the countrys 11 time zones, more than 112 Million People are eligible to cast ballots from friday until sunday, incoming president Vladimir Putin is running for fifth term. He has three rivals are from the new people party, the liberal Democratic Party and the communist party. Prior to the election, putin called on russians to. Vote saying that people are the only source of power in this country. He said russia is going through a difficult period and needs to stay united and confident to overcome it. The vote is also taking place in the four regions at russia annexed from ukraine in 2022, namely donetsk, luhansk, zapurisia and xerson. The conflict in ukraine has led to major restructuring of the global weapons market, according to new report from top ngo dedicated to peace europe. Has doubled their arms imports in recent years with russia dropping from its longtime number two spot behind the united states. Reports from paris. The top annual analysis of global arms sales found that france has risen to the number two weapons exporter in the world. The gains have often been made thanks to debt from ukraine, which has become europes largest arms importer. French arms sales have sored 50 . In recent years and now comprise 11 of the global market. The worlds leading arms dealer is still the united states, which controls a record 42 of the global weapons trade. For us its a little paradoxical that nation which claims to be a country which greatly respects human rights is also a nation which is so very proud of its weapon sales. Its clear that the values of the french people and human rights are subservient to geos. Strategic interest, and we shouldnt celebrate frances arming of often dictatorial regimes. Armed sales to ukraine has proven to be big business, and it may explain president emmanuel macrons about face on the conflict. Two years ago, macron warned that russia must not be humiliated, but hes recently become one of europes leading antirussia war hawks. Frances top three arms clients are india, which is the Worlds Largest arms. Importer followed by saudi arabia and tiny but rich khatar. Africa is still reeling from 40 tons of illegal free arms drops france made in 2011 to support. Antikaddafi rebels in libya. As predicted, the weapons soon found their way to syria, the Central African republic. And present them as combat proven. So africa is not just a show window for french arms, but also Testing Laboratory and was always destabilizing results for the continent. This week french. Parliament approved a 10year military pact with kiev which guarantees billions and more weapons deliveries. Russia continues to gain ground against natobacked ukraine, which is an important reminder that some weapons are made to work under actual wartime conditions, and some are made mainly for sales and profit. Robin mazahari, press tv, paris. Nigerian muslims, like millions of others. Worldwide are fasting in the holy month of ramadan, however the rising cost of living in the country is caused significant challenges for many nigerian muslims during this fasting period. Press Tv Correspondent reports. Ramadan, sacred month in islam is a month to cultivate selfdiscipline, selfcontrol, sacrifice and empathy for those in need. Breaking of the fast in the. Known as iftar also fosters a sense of community and sharing as people come together to share a meal. Here in nigeria, many muslims are observing the month of ramadan with fasting while grappling with the economic hardships plaging the country. The naira nigerias currency experienced a historic decline against the dollar in february this year, leading to rampant inflation that has rendered life exceedingly difficult for many nigerians in ramadan where people need so much food, where people need to have um access to to basic supplies, and then you begin to find that prices are exorbitant, um, the food is not even there in the first place, you know, so we have doubleedged inflation, the inflation is such that the money is not there and the food is not there, many people experience hunger before bedtime, making fast. During ramadan a formidable challenge, experts assert that there exists a fundamental issue that requires urgent attention. For a country where that is that has uh sorry uh 40 of the worlds arable land, you find that there is no food security, it begs for question, i mean it begs for answer, you calls to question what exactly are agricultural policies are, what are we doing, i mean how did we get here, its really uh quite pathetic. Religious organizations like the Alhabibiyah Islamic Society have established the food bank where muslims donate both money and food to support the less fortunate during ramadan. Dedicated volunteers cook and package meals ensuring that hundreds of impoverished fasting muslims receive a warm meal for iftar in the evening. Our purpose here is to improve lives through the support of allah with utmost humility and sincere. Attitude to the almighty allah, things are now Getting Better for us. Yesterday, we provided meals for 2,200 people, on the first day of ramadan it was 1,600, and on the second day it reached 2002. Only god knows at the count for today. The Nigerian Government has recognized the food challenge and has moved to address it. This is in addition to other critical measures. Beyond palliatives, experts say the. Government must have the right mix of fiscal and monetary policies in order to get out of the economic situation, they say more than 60,00 hectares of farmland have been abundant in Northern Nigeria because of the bandity and kidnapping. The government needs to address the general insecurity in nigeria. Danjum abdullahi, press tv, abuja. Lets wrap for now, but stick around, theres plenty more to come here on press tv.

It doesnt seem to be. An end to this game of violating animals rights. احنا معاك يا غزينات ولمن خاف مقام ربه جنتهان ومن دونهما اخر ليس سقط الزمان وفي المسرب يعني هل الذين سبقونا بالايمان. لما نحن نذكر ان رجل يتصدق بكل ما الله اكبر.
