Tanks and the Israeli Forces moved uh in a swift attack against the compound uh amid the heavy gunfire and the continuous bombardments at least 40 consecutive israeli air strikes hit the compound the buildings the yards and even the surrounding areas of the shifa compound knowing that thousands of the Palestinian Civilians are taking shelter in the hospital in addition to the paramedics and the medical staff and the palestinian injuries to actually uh uh are located there receiving the needed medical care uh the israeli accubition attack actually left thousands of the Palestinian Civilians killed and injuries in addition to the big fire that blazed in the Surgery Department uh in one building uh in a building inside the compound when it comes to the central area of gaza strip the situation is still catastrophic as well as the israeli incubation forces maintained the their strikes and incursions against the central area, particularly annosarati fuji camp, whereas over the last night the israeli war plains destroyed another residental building claiming the lives of nine Palestinian Civilians, most of them were children and women, these air strikes are of continued and even over the last the last couple of hours the israeli artillery maintained its shelling towards the eastern part of deril balah city and when it comes to khanuni city almasi area which is claimed by a the israel incubation forces as a area it was under a repetitive israeli attack, the israely regimes recent attack on alsifa hospitals drawn some widespread condemnations.

Al shifa, the largest hospital in gaza came under at least 40 attacks on sunday, killing and eating dozens of palestinians earlier we spoke to tim anderson, a director at the center for counterhegiemonic studies a sydney, australia, and he argues israel wants to push palestinians in gaza into full evacuation mode. Really, hamas is just the tip of the Palestinian Resistance iceberg, and thats not going to go away anytime soon, basically, but when youre talking about el shifa, remember also this is hospital that was. Devastated before, its in the north in gaza city, there are still civilians there even though conditions of life have been very difficult in the areas, all of the residential areas been devastated around there, there also is resistance there. The resistances back in areas where the israelis thought they got rid of them, so the civilians are there, and really, um, of course, this idea that theyre actually going after hamas is only part of the store anyway, lets remember that they have said many times to us, and this is what this africans have carried to the International Court of justice, they want to destroy the conditions of life to make it unbearable, they want to destroy the people will drive them out, and of course this new port that the us is involved in is widely suspected now, of being a way to try and evacuate and take palestinians out of gaza to help with the ethnic cleansing of the area, so the assault on civilians is has always been uh a openly stated uh part of this genocide, very few genocides in the past have openly stated as clearly as as the israelis have this one. The European Union Foreign Policy chief says israels genocide in gazas turn the territory into the worlds biggest open air graveyard. The situation in gaza gaza was before the war, the greatest open air prison to, today is the greatest open air graveyard, a graveyard for tens of thousand of people, and also a graveyard for many of the most important principles of humanitarian law. Bral was uh speaking just ahead of an eu foreign ministerial meeting in brussels. He reiterated israel is using famin as a weapon of war by not allowing a trucks into gaza. Burell said issue is not a lack of sufficient supplies for gaza, it is rather israel deliberately preventing them from entering the besieg strip. According to the world food program, 70 of the remaining people in northern gaza are at catastrophic levels of hunger. We need sufficient amounts of food to get into northern gaza and to be able to be distributed to the people who are in need over there. Mind you, there are 300 thousand people in that location right now, of which 70 , meaning 210,00 people are in catastrophic level of. Hunger, the remaining 30 , they are emergency levels of hunger. A un back Food Security assessment report also indicates around half the gaza population is experiencing catastrophic hunger due to the israeli onslot and siege. Addressing alarming new reports about hunger in gaza, the un secretary general is once again called for immediate cease fire. The latest report on Food Insecurity in gaza is an appalling indictment of conditions on the ground for civilians. The worlds leading experts on Food Insecurity clearly document that femin in the northern part of gaza is imminent. More than half of all palestinians in gaza, 1. 1. Million people have completely exhausted their Food Supplies and are facing catastrophic hunger, according to the report. Palestinians in gaza are enduring orifying levels of hanger and suffering. This is the highest number of people facing catastrophic anger ever recorded by the integrated Food Security classification system. Anywhere, anytime. This is an entirely manmade disaster, and the report makes clear that it can be halted. Todays report is exhibit a for the need for immediate humanitarian sease fire. I call on the israeli authorities to ensure complete and unfetted access for humanitarian goods throughout gaza and for the International Community. To fully support our humanitarian efforts, we must act now to prevent the unthinkable, the unacceptable and the unjustifiable. The hisb of Resistance Movement in israely forces have once again exchanged far long the southern lebanese border. We arether joined by beirout correspondent mat for the latest. Today we saw that there was a lot of calm during the day, the first part of the day actually, even last night, but then just just a little bit before so. Concept we saw that there was an intensified shelling from the israeli part, hezbolah also had intensified its operations, sometimes some operations that would be two or three minutes apart or simultaneously on several posts and so we had operations from the resistance launching their rocket fire on several posts including the lebanese occupied farms posts of and zibdeen and that is from the lebanese part territory also had other tack against the Israeli Soldiers in where hazbillah says it hit and scored its hits very precisely against those soldiers using as they said appropriate rocket fire we also had operations from the resistance and rockets being fired towards and is really. Was talking about really heavy fire from husband side towards the israel, the israelies as well of course have intensified their shelling, there was several areas like for example and jabal where there was very heavy shelling to the extent that it seems to be very become a usual routine for the israelies that they do what what they calls top um shelling where the shell the first place and perhaps wait until there are maybe ambulances or authorities to come near they launch attack on the same exact location. Iran has come a long way to gain independence in the Defense Industry since the 1979 islamic revolution. Its warships, speed boats, missiles and drones among many items in its arsenal have caught many countries in the world by surprise. But as military experts and top brass say, this is only a tiny fraction of irans capabilities that have been unveiled thus far. Watch for the details in this documentary. Welcome back everyone, youre watching press tv world news. Iran is dismissed as legally baseless findings of a Un Fact Finding Mission on the 2022 riots in the country. Speaking a meeting the Un Human Rights Council in geneva, head of irans high council for human rights said the socalled Fact Finding Mission has a glaring lack of independence and impartiality, causing gabadi said mission is result of lobbing by some western countries, and the relevant report is. Left it under pressure from those same countries. Khadi babudi also slammed un for politicizing human rights. The Un Fact Finding Mission was established two months after violent protests erupted in iran over the death of young woman. Its a recently released report is accused the Islamic Republic of Human Rights Violations and its handling of foreignbacked riding. Iran marks the 73rd anniversary of the nationalization. Of its oil industry, that was a turning point in the political and economic history of the iranian nation to save the National Treasure from foreigners. Fatima massumi has your details. On march 20th, 1951, members of the Iranian Parliament passed the bill introduced by the countrys democratically elected Prime Minister Muhammad Musaddiq to nationalize irans oil industry. The groundbreaking initiative put an end to britains for decade. Over irans oil industry, the britain owned Angloiranian Oil Company enjoyed a monopolistic control over the industry and paid only meger portion of the revenues to the iranian government. Nationalization was call for independence. If you go back then, the iranians, the entire public realized that this move was not about economy, it was about independence, and go the the musaddiq movement was very popular within. The entire world realized that it was about uh gaining independence from a colonial power that controlled the economy and from, mean based on the economy, control the political spec. Within iran, when the then government of musaddiq put the nationalizing of irans oil its agenda in april 1951, acts of sabotage and conspiracy against the country were enhanced. The American British coup in august 1953 against musaddiqs government was part the plot. Basically the british were plundering iranian Natural Resources and oil was at the top of the list. Iranians began to protest. And there was a growing social movement in the country to nationalize iranian oil. When that ultimately happened, the british impos sanctions on the country, similar to what happened after the revolution in iran. After the victory of the islamic revolution, iran achieved significant milestones in the petroleum industry. These include the discovery of numerous oil and gas fields, an expansion and extractable oil and condensate reserves, a rise in Oil Production and extractable gas and the discovery of new oil and gas fields. Iran was the first country in the west asia to reclaim its oil industry. The iranian nations move proved to be of great importance in giving rise to the anticolonialist tendencies all over the region and set a trend for other countries. Fatih massumi, press tv, tehran. Russian uh president Vladimir Putin has warned nato against deploying troops to ukraine. This shortly after he secures a landslide victory. In russias president ial elections, he says the conflict between russia and the military alliance will push the world to the verge of full scale world war ii. We discussed this with our guests earlier in our news review program. Heres a playback. The russian president has issued a stern warning to the west over sending military troops and of ukraine, Vladimir Putin says a direct confrontation between russia and nato will push the world to the brink of a full scale world war ii. I think that anything is possible in the modern world, but ive already said this and it is clear everyone that this conflict between russia and nato will be just one step away from a full scale of world war ii. I dont think anybody is interested in this. Nato military are present there in ukraine, theres nothing good in this, firstly for them because they get killed in large numbers. Putin made the remarks in the presser shortly after securing another sixyear term in office in the biggest landslide victory in post soviet russian history. And the warning came in response to earlier statement by french president Emmanuel Macron who highlighted the necessity of western ground operations in ukraine at some point, commenting on the prospect. Of peace talks with kiev, putin said moscow remains open to negotiations, but wont be lured into truth that would allow ukraine to rearm, he added that Russian Armed forces holy advantage on the battlefield as they have made advances in ukraine. Well like to welcome my guests to this news review, jan oberg, peace researcher and founder from transnational out of sweden. And christoph horstell author and politician, your thoughts on do you really think, i mean we heard what uh uh the french, well what macron had said, do you really think that europe would actually consider putting troops on the ground in ukraine . Well, there was a report in new york times, i think a week or so ago, which said the cia has been in ukraine the last 10 years and. The germans happened to reveal that the british were there to help with using british artillery, so uh, yes, it doesnt mean thousands of troops in uniform ready to to battle russian forces, but the question i ask myself at this moment, which is the most dangerous in europe since 1945, is how on earth did we get here . Nato was. According or is, according to its own perception of itself, defensive alliance that has promised us since 1949 to make peace in europe, and now its a major actor thanks to the expansion of nato, which is in contravention to all the promises given given to michael gobatjav, now we are there that the 11th party to this expansion, ukraine, and the 30 years nato has been around in ukraine. And the kutan 2014 orchestrated by the us is bringing us to Something Like you know, its not the same, but i mean if i say the cuban missile crisis, we must remember that russia. Will be neighbor to or part of if things go madly wrong in europe, whereas the United States is far away from that . Well, christoph, your taken, looking on the russian side, i mean, basically, its a matter of uh, russias own survival, um, and it does not seem that Vladimir Putin will back down or can back down, so and he has warn of possible world war ii nato does not back down, your thoughts on this, your overall assessment. President putin of russia is very much justified to rethreaten nato with nuclear war. The reason is very simple natos combined conventional force is so much stronger than russia, that russia in the end may face, in case of a war, a situation where the. Only way to preserve some kind of russian independence will be triggering nuclear war by using nuke arms first, that is very, very dangerous situation, and nato is crazy to push it so far that this happens and we can only understand that if we understand the deeply criminal mind within nato, aggressive as it is, they deep. Financial crisis which washington faces, they are bankrupt, bankrupt, bankrupt, and the only way to save that is to control the vast Natural Resources of big russia, so this is why they want to bring russia down, they are not anti russian, they are not anti anything, they are not anti iran, they just want to control the Natural Resources, because they are bankrupt, bankrupt, bankrupt, that is the real situation, and that is. Putins fight, that he wants to preserve sovereignty and freedom of his people in the face of this money driven western aggressiveness. All right, and on that note, i thank both of you uh for being with me, jean oberg, uh, peace researcher and founder transnational live out of sweden, and christopher horstell author and politician out of berlin, and thank you viewers so much for. With us a news review and thank you so much for staying with us right here at press tv. Welcome back ever
