2:36 pm
punishment of the palestinian people. the effective delivery of humanitarian aid requires the immediate delivery of humanitarian. cease fire, the need is urgent. i was at the rough border crossing this weekend, and i met with injured palestinian civilians and there directly from our frontline humanitarian colleagues. they are veterans of some of the worst humanitarian crisis in recent decades. they have seen it all, and yet without exception, they told me they had never seen anything as horrible as what... is happening in gaza today, the scale and speed of the deaths and destruction are on an entirely different level, and now starvation is bearing down on palestinians in gaza. there is a growing consciousness around
2:37 pm
the world that all of these must stop. a new study shows 99% of israel's arms imports are from us german. and despite international calls to ban weapon sales to the regime, the stockholm international peace research institute has reported that 69% of israel's weapons imports are from the us, 30% of the regime's arms purchases also come from germany. according to the study, the us rapidly delivered thousands of guided bombs and missiles to israel at the end of 20. 23, that despite calls for an arms embargo on the regime due to the ongoing onslot on the gaza strip. israel relies heavily on western countries for many of the components in his warplanes, helicopters, warships and submarines, the united kingdom, canada and the netherlands, also a provides real with
2:38 pm
critical aircraft components. we also have some breaking news coming in, as you can see on the screen, the health ministry and gaza. says israeli attacks have so far killed 20 32,333 and it has injured 74,694, the exact numbers. well uh, we were talking about the arm sales to israel, and we have mohammad khalid from the south africa, anc who was joining us live right now to... we discuss that further uh, sir, tell us what is your take on this new report? first of all, were you shocked to hear these numbers or was it something that you expected? thank you very much for having me, i'm most certainly not
2:39 pm
shocked in the least to hear about these particular numbers, because the west, the united kingdom, the united states of america. have always been, they've been actively in the genocide against the palestinian people, so one is not surprised, it is, it is out there, it is public knowledge, hence when we hold israel accountable, we also hold the west accountable, the us and the uk in particular, what do you think can be done in order to at least put an arms embargo on israel, it has proven that is not using arms um the least to expect is complying with geneva conventions. most certainly, look, the united nations needs to be lobbied, we need to have a united nations security council resolution uh, basically resolving that
2:40 pm
there's an arms embargo on the apartted genocidal state of israel, also pressure needs to be placed particularly in the uk. we know in the uk. there's an elections that are coming up as well um and and and and the political atmosphere is very very tense and open with possibilities in the uk, we already saw that the... is sease fire that british parliament did agree to because of pressure, so pressure needs to be applied by activists, by members of parliament as well, for an arms embargo against the apartted state of israel, by the by the uk government, um, no matter what you try in the us, that will not happen, we as the progressive world need to increasingly isolate the united states of america, that's what needs to happen, and do... do you think that the road to achieving that goal is clear or how many obstacles do
2:41 pm
we have to overcome? look, considering the growing, considering the growing anti-israeli sentiment and with the international community becoming more aware. i think now, compared to before, the road is not as difficult compared to before, the road will be difficult, the americans and the british and others will impose economics. sanctions or they will attempt to impose economic sanctions on countries who are making this cause make life very very difficult but compared to before the atmosphere as you have pointed out to is is is is is much more susceptible to achieving that particular goal. thank you very much mr. khalid, thank you very much mohammad khalid said from south africa anc. moving on, israeli occupation force. have raided the old town of nablos and the occupied west bank injuring several palestinians. our correspondent in ramala

2:49 pm
to the russian media said he is a citizen of tajikistan. all have been remanded that the... pre trial custody until may 22nd, authorities arrested the man as the men, all them, as they were attempting escape to ukraine. president vladimir putin has pleaded to, they have, he has pledged actually, to bring the perpetrators to justice. earlier, kiev rejected the notion that it was involved in the incident that took place at a crowded corcus city hall, the attackers also set the venue. and that caused the roof of the hall to collapse. russian authorities have confirmed 137 deaths and more than 180 injuries as a result of the attack. for more on that, we're joined by ryan dawson, human rights activist who is joining us live from
2:50 pm
soul. mr. dawson, what is your take on this attack? well, this was something that definitely. are not used to, the last similar attack happened nearly two decades ago, well there was the attack in in 2015 in france, they killed about 130 people, and of course israeli terrorists killed 118 people, starving people trying to get food from food trucks and they gun them down just a couple weeks ago, that's a state actor so maybe they don't consider that terrorism, excuse me, i'm focusing mr. and i'm sorry to cut you off right there, but we're focusing on the terrorist attack in moscow. i'm just responding to, oh, in russia, there hasn't been an attack like thats in decades, you're right, um, they could... they caught them and they're being interrogated, they seem to be blaming this on ukraine, of course ukraine denies it, the men were trying escape there, isis claim responsibility for it, but it
2:51 pm
doesn't really fit the isis mo, they didn't murder themselves, they all were captured and they have also confessed to trying to collect payments later, which is not really how the islamic state tends to operate, exactly, the attack does not definitely does not bear the hole. of isis attacks, so what do you think, what are the signs, what do the signs indicate, what could this be um coming from, who could be organizing attack of the scale a state like russia? well, there were terrorist attacks with drones last year, and moscow was the target, ukraine has done attempted terrorist attacks in the past, none them were successful as this one, this does seem to be... be a group of privateers, these are double digit iq mercenaries who were sent in to murder as many people as possible. it doesn't really benefit russia to lie about ukraine or isis, they're at war with both of
2:52 pm
them anyway. they've been at war with isis in syria, and they've been at war with ukraine with the past two years, so the evidence that they must have must indicate that these are uh ukrainian back terrorist proxy forces, not proper military, and that's usually how terrorist acts are conducted by western states is through. plausible deniability. thank you very much, mr. ryan dawson, human rights activist, joining us live from saul. and on the 25th anniversary of the nato bombing of serbia, people have gathered in the austrian capital to commemorate the victims of the aggression by the military alliance against the balkan nation. protesters in vienna chanted slogans against the continued nato expansion and medaling in eastern europe, they also... expressed their anger at the militarization of the eu as well as the nato's support for the israeli genocidal war on gaza. protesters held banners reading stop nato aggression and
2:53 pm
death to imperialism and freedom for the people. in march 1999, a western military alliance launched a 78-day aerial campaign against the federal republic of yugoslavia, which then included serbia and montenegro. the nato. aggression took place without a un mandate and in violation of international law. thousands of civilians were killed or injured as a result of the undeclared war. our correspondent in viena has talked to some the protesters. let say a listen. we are here uh to commemorate 25 years of nato aggression against yugoslavia. this nato aggression was the start of the new world order and uh uh meant. in uh consequence, also the aggression on russia. we are here because of 25 years of the nato invasion of yugoslavia. the event is
2:54 pm
exemplary of the new nature of imperialism. since the early 1990s at the latest, it has become clear that us imperialism is riching for global dominance. nato is it means to achieve this and the eu is its accomplice. this all runs through from the breakup of yugoslavia. eastward expansion of nato to the encirclement of russia to the current events in ukraine, imperialism as a word system is not capable of peace. the focus is always on saying, you cannot keep quiet about something wrong and forget it. we do not forget, we can forgive anyone who acknowledges their guilt, however, for those who are silent and think they are right to violate the un charter. "we do not need these people, we cannot forget or forgive as long as no one is held responsible for their crimes and apologizes. nato has
2:55 pm
declared war against serbia and the serbian people. serbia has never received any reparations or compensation that nato inflicted on them. 40,00 bombs were dropped on serbia alone. 4,00 innocent people died be kindem this war. however, today it is crucial to condemnate. attacks and us worse, they are slowly leading us into world war ii. austria must stand up and ensure that the usa, nato and the eu leave serbia alone. as we approach the 25th anniversary of the nato bombing of serbia. we must state clearly that nato as a military alliance must be dismantled. they will trigger wars around the world and massively increase arms spending. the answer can only be that this military alliance is also fought internationally. it is the reason for many military conflicts, russia and ukraine, the war against palestine and 25 years ago the war against yugoslavia. that
