if you may uh just previously we had news of uh the number of palestinians being abducted by israelis in the occupied west bank has now increased about 7,000 the beginning of the regime's genocidal war on gaza, please uh unpack that for us and our viewers as well. yes, let's start with the recent development and the new israeli aggression and crime, 17 year old maad bani shamsa was shot and killed by the israeli forces in the village of beta, south nableus. israeli forces had raided the village of beta and of course. inians, the residents of beta just left their homes in order to prevent israeli military raid incursion to the village of beta. israeli forces as usual used their weapons in order to disperse the protesters. at least three palestinians were wounded, one of them was

bani shamsa who second his injuries according to palestinian ministry of health and he is a palestinian minor 17 year old. the two others were als seriously wounded by the israeli forces, in addition to those three palestinians, dozens had been injured, suffocated due to inhailing tear gas during the israeli military aggression and raid to the village of beta, elsewhere in the occupied west bank, israeli forces had raided ariha as well as several villages in all than the occupied west bank, this means the number of palestinians who had been shot and killed. by the israeli soldiers since the 7th of october, today we are speaking about 390 palestinians were killed by the israeli forces here in the occupied west bank only since the 7th of october, the israeli military rates of course the main aim

according to the israeli military is it to arrest palestinians, so that's why today the israelas had detained according to a statement by the palestinian commission of prisoners affairs, 19 palestinians were detained early on friday across the occupied wisbank and the palestinian commission of prisoners affairs speaking about 700 palestinians have been detained by the israeli forces only since the 7th of october, this means that the number of palestinians who are being held in the israeli jails today has reached over 9,000 because because we were speaking before the 7th of october about almost 5000 palestinians and those 700 who had been detained, we speak about the the israeli policy known as the revolving door. palestinians are being held by the israelies

or are are detained and at the same time on the other hand palestinians who finish their sentences would be released from the israeli jails. so today there are almost 10. thousand palestinians, between 90 to 10,00 palestinians are being held in israeli jails. thousands of those palestinians are being held under the so-called administrative detention. this policy means that the israeli military keeps palestinians behind bars without charge or trial, without telling the the palestinian prisoners or their lawyers why they had been arrested in the first place, the israeli excuse. would be that there are secret information that the israeli military cannot reveal or unveal and that's why they keep palestinians behind bars. want to one quick question before we leave you, what's alarming about the uh the palestinians

that are being held illegally in israeli jails is the silence of the international community. tell us more about that please? the international community. unity has repeatedly called on israel to either prosecute those palestinian prisoners or release them, but every time the israeli military would declare that there are... excuse me, that there are secret information they cannot unveal and that's why they keep palestinians behind bars. all right, thanks lot. press tv's corresponding joining us from romalo. moving on, the leader of yemen movement says that aggression against this country will not protect israeli link ships in the red see. "it will not protect israeli ships and they will not be able through their aggression to resume the movement of ships

heading to the israeli enemy or connected to the israeli enemy. it is a failed objective, a futile objective and that has been proven in practice by the grace of allah almighty and his support, it will not benefit them. he said the armed forces have managed to completely stop the movement of israely linked vessels in..." red sea describing it as a real victory, the aunsarla leader also said, washington is in trouble as its own vessels and warships have become clear targets. he was referring to yemeny attacks against us interests as well as uk linked ships in recent weeks. santa says its attacks are in response to the air strikes that the two western states launched on yemeni territory on january the 11th. the latest such attacks hit two areas in the western province of holodeda. yemenes have once again

taken to the streets on mass and support of palestinians facing israeli genocide in gaza. the demonstrators waved palestinian flags enchanted slogans against the us and israel, they condemned israel's war on gaza and denounced the us for its direct and leading role in the regime's genocide against palestinians. the enemies vow to continue their support for gaza until victory against israel. they also held pictures of yemeny resistance leaders in a show of support for their anti-israely military operations. yemany cities have been the scene of mass weekly demonstration since israel unleashed its war on gaza on october the 7th. our

correspondent abdul latif fal washhami has been attending the pro palestinians rally in santa and gave us this update. we have thousands of people gathered here in the capitals to support the palestinian people and also to support the yemini army's naval operations. and the red sea and golfen even though the aggression of the uk and the us against the yemani people, the people here are supporting these operations, they say they will stand with the palestinian people at all coast and they have also said that they will they are ready to join the yemani armed forces in case of a warfare with the uh us and uk, they gather here every friday if you follow up and they will continue supporting the palestinian. was they said that the enable operations of the yemani army should never be stopped as long as the

genocidal war against the people in palestine continues and they will absolutely keep supporting the palestinian cause, they have been telling the whole world that they are ready to engage in a war with the whole world, the entire world to support the palestinian people, they said the international community did nothing for the people in gaza, they are still beseed, they are still getting killed. asked the people of yemen to gather in all cities, in all squares to express their solidarity and to prove to the entire world that they will never stop supporting the palestinan cause, part of the american efforts to control... uh middle east and to expand its influence in iraq, it managed to have a complete control on iraqi

finances. the us is sending very clear message to iraq that you either do as we tell you, or we will also destroy you. the airlines says the decision is grounded on misleading. fly baghdad has a contract with the us due to his excellent performance these. accusations are unreal because we are under the supervision. welcome back. european farmers have been blocking roads across the continent as ramp up protest against eu measures and rising prices.

and poland farmers blocked roads across the country and at border crossings with ukraine, they're angry about the impact of cheap food imports from their war ravaged neighbor. polish politicians have been calling on the eu commissioner for agriculture to quit. farmers in france, belgium, portugal, greece, spain, italy and germany have also been protesting. their grievances very somewhat, but they're generally complaining about rising fuel costs and the eu's environmental and other policies that have made their products more expensive than foreign imports. the lebanese resistance movement, hezbulah and israel have been engaged in clashes since israel launched its onslot on gaza early

october, now the reports of hezbollah fighters targeting several israeli military sites. in uh occupied palestinian territories, our correspondent in beiro joins us now with more details, that's maria who's with us now uh from the lebanese capital miam, what details do you have to share with us? well yes and although these operations for the resistance began on the in gaza and people of palestine, it quickly turned into retaliatory. that seem to be scaling up every time the israel their aggressions and escalate the situation, launch larger scale um operations and we say more than just the border area, and this is what we looked at today, the israeli seem to be uh basically violating the the the original rules of engagement that hezballah has laid out,

basically targeting only direct and very specific military targets, now the israelis are going more into... areas like nabati, which is around 20 kilometers away from the border, they're targeting even residents in the towns of which is also further away, and this is why seems hazbillah seems to be scaling up their operations, the most significant operation today, not was not only against lebanese occupied territory or palestinian occupied territory, it was against one of the significant baracks in the occupied golan heights and here we're talking about oc occupied syrian territory and that has of course many implications. hezbulah said they fired uh tens of rockets, they did not mention how much, the israeli media said that they of course activated the iron dome system and so on, but still we do know and hazbullah has said that they have been able uh to target that area and specifically they targeted the kilacks in the golan heights

with tens of rockets, even if some reached and others were basically stopped maybe intercept. by the by the iron dome system, but that in itself is a over for shadowing of what hazbollah can do, in case the israelis try to enlarge the scope of these clashes, hazbillah also targeted technological espinage devices for the israelis in three posts at least, in malkia, in duviv and in ramta as well, they targeted specifically those aspianage devices where hazbullah has been adamant on targeting and destroying, they also targeted. a markava tank in the in the baghdadi post also which is near the mesabal town in addition to blida and for two times in a row and so basically hazbillah is definitely stepping up their uh their operations whenever the israelis launch attacks that are basically further away closer to the civilian areas closer to the

residential areas and targeting civilian infrastructure hazballah uses katucial rockets and does launch. even harsher operations against even uh the military post and has stressed that they have been able to score hits and very precise hets for that matter. thanks lot mariam. press tv's mariam salah joining us from the lebanise capital bayroot. elsewhere around foreign minister says us military, financial and diplomatic support for israel will have no result but defeat during a press conference in beirot. hosen said israel wants to drag the us alongside itself and to the west asia, he stressed that the war is not the solution to the palestinian issue, amir abdul is in beirot to meet with senior lebanese officials, this is the third time the top diplomat visits lebinon since israel launched its genocidal war on gaz over four months ago, following his visit to beirot, amir abdul will head to the syrian capital,

damascus, regional issues including the gaza situation will be discussed during the regional trip. the us social media giant meta has removed facebook and instagram accounts of leader of iran's islamic revolution ali khamenei after months of pressure from pro israel groups. a spokesman for meta, the parent company of facebook and instagram claimed the move was due to violation of the company so-called dangerous organizations and individuals policy. metta did not point to any specific incident that could have caused the ban, however it's widely believed that the measure was taken after iran's leader repeatedly called out israel's genocidal war on the gaza strip. ayatollah khamenei has also lambassed the us support for the genocide, saying washington is to blame for more than 100 thousand. casualties so far, us social media platforms have also silenced other critical voices against the regime while allowing israeli officials to publish littny of hate speech against palestinians.

lebanese university professor jamal wakim believes that new platforms are needed to be created for free speech in the wake of censorship by pro israel media organizations in the west. because the... has always been biased towards israel and against our right to express ourselves and our freedom of speech, so they set standards for example that are biased and they try to see objective, however when it comes to reality they allow for example themselves to express any hate. also they allow the israelis to to express racist comments towards the palestinian people, however when it comes to our freedom of speech based on the the

international norms for for this freedom of speech set by the west, they would infringe it, they would violate it and they would forbid us from expressing ourselves, we should build our own platforms and our own norms in the arab islamic world and in the non-western world, well the the media in the west has always been under the control of the israeli lobby even before the establishment of israel, the zionist entity in palestine, and this is due to the fact that it's interf with the interests of the... international uh capitalist class, irons drone program began in the 1980s, few years after uh the victory

the islamic revolution. the focus of this program has been improving iran's military readiness with defensive approach for stable security and deterrents. through the years, tehran has managed to produce various types of domestically manufactured uavs with unique features. we have a report on that. in the early 2000s, only few countries had the technology to produce onmand aerial vehicles for military purposes and used them in combat. some like the us enjoyed a near monopoly on this technology back then. americans boasted about their advanced drones such as the reaper and global hawk that carried a price stack of millions of dollars. however, this monopoly no longer exists as many countries have managed to develop their own drone programs in recent. to a stage that enables them to produce and even export uavs. one of the countries that has made great strides in this field is iran. following the

victory of the islamic revolution in 1979 and the outbreak of the iran-iraq war year after, tehron understood the need for developing new defensive and deterrant capabilities, and this gave birth to iran's drone program. while since the very beginning of the islamic revolution, iran has been the target of harsh sanctions, it began producing drones by relying its domestic potential, particularly the knowledge of the youth. the result, an absolute technological treumph for the islamic republic. now iran produces drones with the ability to deliver precision guided missiles in a whopping range of 2,0 kilometers, besides flight endurance of over 24 hours and health capabilities. iranian drones also have a white diversity and are among the best and most efficient in the world and can perform missions in various fields. the main superiority of iranian

drones compared to foreign models is that they are cheap, have more range and flight endeurance, they have stealth capabilities and counter gps jamming systems. iranian officials say these reasons have attracted many customers in many countries to buy drones from iran. iran is now self-sufficient in equipping its armed forces with home-gown systems, since the onset of the islamic revolution, maintaining military readiness with defensive approach, for stable security and deterrance has been a definite and practical policy of iran. press tv, tehran. that's a wrap for now, but stick around, there's plenty more to come here on press tv. bye for now.

crisis devastating wars, terrorism, the israeli lobby, crackdown, diplomacy. anabated genocide in gaza.

ivf is a process of fertilization. in situations where fertilization is a problem, it's possible to create womb-like environment outside the mother's womb where sperm cells and egg cells are combined in laboratory dish. between two and six days later the combination is injected into the mother's womb. in 1973, australia succeeded in completing this complex operation for the first time. in 1988 and for the first time after the islamic revolution in iran, dr. abu talib saremi published his research on ivf. two years later, in 1990, the first ivf birth was recorded in yast, and year after that, pair of ivf twins were born in tehran. by the beginning of the 1990s, iran had acquired the science for ivf, short for invitro fertilization. "who could imagine something

could happen in in in iran, nobody? begin of 78, i decided to to try to go to iran, but then after my first trip i came back from iran, everybody laugh at me because i was full to imagine something would happen in a country like..." iran, you know, sometimes you never know, you have something in your mind, and um, well, when really everything started, it was end at the end of august, my pictures were publish everywhere, the rest of the world started to think, something is going to happen. who is michelle? it's me.

iraq's banks are underpressure. the us treasury has imposed sanctions on more iraqi banks claiming breaking sanctions when it comes to dollar outflows, especially when it comes to iran, so iraq has refuted those claims, more importantly, the us is holding iraq hostage to the dollar. money that it has rightfully earned, how it does that is one angle will be covering in this edition of economic divide. some of the headlines coming up, the us maximum pressure, sanctioning iraqi banks in order to squeeze iran's economy, that is the ultimate goal. why to prevent iran's access to the dollar? then we move to uh why iraq is opposing those us sanctions. obviously iraq is not thrilled by the fact that the us is controlling.
