10:32 pm
reach gaza after many palestinian injuries uh actually succumbed to the ones they sustained over those attacks, i mean near the eastern and the western parts of gaza city, particularly in uh uh or around the al kuwait and annabul roundabouts, as you know that the israeli incubation forces committed several massacres against the palestinian civilians while they were waiting for those humanitarian aid heading to gaza city uh and this... number is uh highly expected to rise as many injuries are still suffering from the critical injuries they sustained over those attacks. in the meantime the israeli war plains continued uh decimating and attacking gaza strip. several areas of the gaza strip were hit by the relentless israel strikes over the last couple of hours here in the central area of gaza strip uh the israeli war planes attacked attacked multiple residental build. and and in almograga neighborhood
10:33 pm
located in the northern part of anosarati fuji camp, more zental buildings were destroyed over those attacks and in the meantime even in gaza city, the israeli war bands also renewed their air strikes against ash neighborhood, multipontal buildings were also destroyed over those attacks and when it comes to khanuni city the israeli uccuvation forces maintain destroying and blowing up more residental squares particularly in the eastern part of kanuni city al karara neighborhood, more residental squares were blasted using the explosive devices uh uh by the israeli accubition forces in that area, in the meantime the artillery shilling was renewed also uh against the eastern part of khanuni city. a senior leader of uh palestine's hamas says the movement is waiting for a response to it sease far proposal from israel and the us, the regime's main accomplice in the gaza genocide. osama
10:34 pm
hamdan said the initiative put forth by hamas is a realistic one with clear details. he said it provides for a swap of captives and palestinan abducties, the withdrawaly forces. hamdan added the palestinian movement in the negotiations call for an end to the war, the return the refugees, the dispatch of aid and the start of the reconstruction of the gaza strip. he also touched upon the divisions within the israeli regime on the war and said that tele avif is... achieve none of the declared objectives, despite the atrocities committed in gaza. hamdan added that hamas has told the intermediaries that acts of aggression against gaza must stop. well, as the us is really genocidal war grinds on, there has been a new proposal put forward by hamas raising prospects for sease fire. now hamas has proposed new 40-day troops. for the
10:35 pm
first stage, this is what is proposed for the exchange, as you can see the total number of israeli captives would be 42. this includes five female regime forces and 37 others, women, children, the elderly and the el. it would not include male regime forces. now here is where the ratio is different than the previous proposal: for the five female regime forces, the ratio would be one to 30 to 50 palestinian prisoners, for the 37 others, the ratio would be one ordinary captive to 20 to 30 palestinian prisoners. there's a possible snack here and comes from the israeli regime, it's opposing the release of palestinian prisoners who have killed israelis, especially israeli regime forces, something that was part of the hamas demand, and that is something that may be a snag. another hamas condition is the return of all palestinians to northern gaza, including
10:36 pm
19-year-old ameles who were restricted from returning in the previous proposal from the israeli regime. now hamas has required for the israel regime forces to withdraw from cities and populated areas. that includes al-rashed and salahdin streets in order to allow for the return of the displaced palestinians. aid is as important for hamas officials and they have required the 500 trucks to be allowed into the gaza strap daily, in the first stage also. now comes the second stage, the release of the remaining israeli captives. there are 130 captives, including 32 presumed dead, subtracting the 42 released. four leaves 88, which includes male regime forces, ratio is one to 30 to 50. hamas requires at this point for the full withdraw of the remaining israeli regime forces from the gaza strip, one of the major sticking points. other key demands include
10:37 pm
things like reconstruction, the crossings being reopened and ending the siege all together. us, qatar and egypt are the garantours of the agreements. hopes are, if this is... executed and there are no violations, it will ultimately end in a permanent ceasefire. israely prime minister benjam says the regime will proceed with a planned ground offensive in gaza's southern rafa city. he criticize allies for what are called having a short memory. at the comments came despite growing international concerns about a war on gaza and domestic criticism of his handling of the war. on sunday jordan in germany warned in israel ground attack on ra would worsen the humanitarian conditions in the southern part of the strip. the un world health organization chief also urged israel not to launch the assault. meanwile, a former israel minister commander has said that israel has already lost the war against samas. it's like brick said what's happening
10:38 pm
in gaza and lebanon would blow up in their faces sooner or later. the people in different european countries. continue to voice solidarity with palestinians in the netherlands capital, hundreds of pro- palestine demonstrators gathered outside the national holocaust museum for the second time since last week, the demonstration came as delegation from this region. was visiting the national holocaust museum, the protesters held pictures of the children killed in israely bombings of gaza, they called for immediate end to the genocidal war. in another european capital, london, people displayed their support for the palestinians during rally
10:39 pm
against racism, they called for an end to the israely occupation of palestine. also in italy, hundreds of protesters scattered in milan in support of palestinians. the demonstrators there held signs. stop the genocide and stop arming israel, the german state of berlin was also the scene of a massive rally, we are here to administrate for palestine, and i think it's not only about palestine here, it's also about showing - anger towards uh the german media and the german politicians because they have lot of power and they decided to take a side and even they use sometimes some wars for human crisis or something like this, i can't believe it, i don't, i have the feeling that it's just empty wars. the producers demand an
10:40 pm
immediate cease fire in gaza, they carried the blood stained, small mock body bags and reference to a large number of children killed there, and the... capital, thousands to the streets to slam the israelity genocide. the demonstration was part of the israely apartide week called by the bds movement, which promotes boycots against israely products and multinational companies linked to the regime. ralliers taken part there said that the european governments are complicit in the israel crimes. the appointment of new palestinan prime minister and plan information of new government have spark internal disputes and division. a senior person official told press of that some fanctions of call for national consensus and unified palestinian leadership before the formation of the government. mon cand. has more, the appointment of new palestinian
10:41 pm
prime minister at the current circumstances could deepen divisions as the israeli war on gaza rages. this is what some palestinian factions revealed after president mahmoud abbas appointed muhammad mustafa, a long trusted advisor on economic affairs as prime minister and tasked him with forming new government, both, hamas and resistance movements, the popular front for liberation of palestine on the palestinian national initiative said that without national consensus it's a reinforcement of a policy of exclusion and the deepening of division. we met dr. mustafathi, secretary general of the national initiative. he told us that the most important thing is now a unified leadership. we're not against the new government, we're against the way the government is being formed. we want national consensus government. a government which is acceptable and accepted by all palestinian political
10:42 pm
groups through national dialogue between the different groups and that that is natural because and and for us the main goal first before forming a government is how we structure a unified palestinian national leadership. mhammed mustafa replaces muhammed who resigned less than three weeks ago citing the need for real change exp. however, say there had been mounting pressure on abbas to reform the palestinian authority and initiate the establishment of a political framework capable of governing a future palestinian state to take charge of all palestinian territories after the israely genocidal war on gaza ends. first of all that there was a pressure on palestinian authority to make some changes and that's why uh they complied immediately and appointing muhammad mustafa to as the uh new prime minister, this is on the one hand, on the other hand, which is most importantly as well, what the
10:43 pm
palestinian wanted, uh, the palestinian don't want another government to be the same, the problem here is with israel, are they and the international community, are they able to really make the change and let this government to work or not? the new prime minister now would work to form a technocratic government of experts, abbas has also asked mustafa to create plans to reunite the administration of the west bank in gaza strip, reform the government and address internal corruption. a real political change, not a change in words only, is what the people here desire. moreover, the upcoming government faces numerous challenges, namely rebuilding the gaza strip, turpedowing israeli plans to control the coastal enclave, and managing palestinians lives. mona khandial for press tv. occupy dramalla.

people first learn to domesticate animals, then they kept animals in zoos, then they learn to earn money through displaying the animals in cages. then came the aquariums and the dolphinariums. there doesn't seem to be an end to this game of violating animals rights. welcome back. president joe biden and former president donald trump continued to move toward a rematch in november after clingching their parties
10:45 pm
presidential nominations, now both nominees have been exchanging jabs as campaigning intensifies. now to discuss that, we were joined by guests in our news reviewer program, a show while ago. you're watching uh press tv world news, time now for the news reviews. stay tuned, the us president joe biden warning that freedom and democracy is under attack and that after former president donald trump suggested a bloot bathh in the case of losing the fall election. biden with speaking at the great iron clap uh dinner, which was pack with journalists and politicians, he said trump's lies about a 2020 election, the plot to overturn it and to imprace the january 6 attack on the capital have posed the greatest threat to america's democracy. president joe biden's campaign also stated that trump wants another january 6th to happen. on saturday republican nominee
10:46 pm
for us president donald trump said if he does not win the fall election, america will never have another election. "if i get elected, now if i don't get elected, it's going to be a blood bath for the whole, that's going to be the least of it, it's going to be a blood bath for the country, that'll be the least of it. if this election, if this election isn't one, i'm not sure that you'll ever have another election in this country, does that make sense? i don't think you're going to have another election in this country, if we don't win this election, i don't think you're going to have another election, or certainly not an election." that's meaningful and trump was addressing gathering of gop supporters in ohio urging the people to vote forum in the november presidential election. he lashed out of his democratic rival and incombat president saying that he is destroyed america's economy. he said americans will not enjoy proper social security, medical and other welfare services with biden in office.
10:47 pm
campaigning is intensified in recent weeks with trump and biden attacking each other's. record and character. okay, now let me invite a couple of academics from the us to get their insight in this. so joining me is daniel shaw, he is academic and commentator out of new york and said khan is also associate professor with wayne state university is joining us from detroit. daniel, what do you expect would happened in the election day in terms of the results, would that capital hill thing be repeated again or something like it? right now every poll indicates that uh there's no confidence in joe biden uh about 84% of the populist thinks that he is indeed uh senial um lot of people don't necessarily trust trump they just so disgusted uh with the democrats uh with the corruption so another slogan that i heard uh from i where said is um i'm in new
10:48 pm
york city but having just returned from the midwest many people are saying well "throw away this clown, but don't throw away the burgers, in other words, throw away trump, but trump's base uh, which is indeed backward, extremely anti-immigrant, extremely uh pro- war in in in many cases, um, but they're angry, and they know that they can't trust the swamp and they can't trust washington dc, so how do we work with uh uh these workers who are uh disgruntled, they've suffered through the opio." epidemic, washington has completely forgotten about them and how much of the industry in cleveland and in um flint in detroit, chicago has been abandoned, how many working-class families are suffering, and they'll never vote for the democrats, they have zero faith in the democrats, so here comes uh trump with his rhetoric, and trump has really been able
10:49 pm
to manipulate people into thinking that he's somehow on their side, he's a billionaire worth $4 billion. 'who could never relate to the common man in in in any way, and just to point out that there are other independent candidates, there's dr. cornel west, there's claudia dela cruz, there's jill stein, but the system is rigged, it's not a democracy, it's a dictator of the dictatorship of the rich and they make sure that none of those third party candidates are actually viable. okay, so we get one minute, let me now what you uh predict would come out of this election in six months time, almost from now uh, i think it's right now far too uh early to and premature to predict what's going to happen, there's a there's a lot of moving parts here uh there is some uh notion that uh democrats uh who are currently disgruntled with biden uh who as daniel said uh don't have much faith in him may come back uh to him uh because they see trump as an
10:50 pm
existential threat the gop is an existential threat whereas biden being and the democrats being more of a strategic threat. uh, some of this is going to play out regarding gaza, i think a lot of it is now going to play out regarding tiktok, if uh, if biden signs a bill that then bans tiktok, uh, he's going to lose an entire generation of people as was said before, and that's game over for the democrat, so right now it's really going to be vote by negativity, uh, who does somebody want to see less in uh, in office, and again, there's just simply too much time between now and november for things to happen. uh where we're not able to predict that. okay, fair enough. all right, thank you so much for the uh insight. daniel shaw in new york, satecon in detroit. thank you for watching this episode of the news review. welcome back, we
10:51 pm
got a couple of more news items for you. russians casting ballots on the third and last day of the presidential election in which president putin is favored to win another chairman office. 60% of the eligible voters cast their ballots in the first two days of the voting across russia's 11 time zones and all online polling stations. that includes online balloting in four ukrainian regions annexed by russia in 2022, some voters in london, paris, berlin and moscow lined up at polling stations and what they called a noon protest, and that in response to the opposition urging the voters to attend the polling stations at noon, protesting the re-election of vladimir putin. the 71-year-old president has already served seven terms in office, including five of them as president. the initial results are expected to come out later today. and actually the results are coming out, as you can see vladimir putin secures 88% of the vote, early results uh were based on counting
10:52 pm
votes from uh almost 25% of the uh polling stations, and there was a great term. now i talked to john miller, our curesman of moscow an hour ago uh regarding the latest on the presidential election in russia. voting is almost coming to an end here in russia. after three three days of voting uh, my local polling station here in moscow, large cues outside uh today, but from what people are saying, i got the impression that uh, mostly that they are voting for for for vladimir putin, the people i was speaking to, a couple of people voting for, i spoke to was voting for other candidates and you also have an opposition in in russia that is... needs the system or don't have system, don't have candidates they want to vote for, that's but the reality is that uh the the the very healthy or vast majority of russian people uh
10:53 pm
certainly healthy majority are going to be voting for for vladimir putin and and he is inevitably going to win this election, russian economy has remained stable and growing for the last 20 or so years after vladimir putin's presidency so he remains a very popular figure in russia and uh thankly that's he's going to win the election, apart from the very the small, the much smaller uh opposition, pro-western if you like, anti-war opposition, in mainstream russian society, the feeling is that there is nobody else, that vladimir putin has been a very effective leader in russia, now for the third year in a row, afghanistan has been declared the least happy country in the world, and that's according to the un's world happiness report, we have a report by correspondent in capital. couple: the people of afghanistan are facing immense hardship and sorrow with the country finding itself at the bottom of the world
