5:37 pm
when they targeted the 91st division they used heavier rockets like full-up instead of their normal guided missiles or mortars and so we see that there's an attempt by hazballah to go back. to make sure that they are bringing the israelis back to this limited scope of the confrontation. we know from sources uh that there are western and european sides that are reassuring the the lebanese, the lebanese government after having put so much pressure on the litanese government to try to stop hazbolah's operations. now we see their reassurances that they are trying to limit uh the israeli escalation and they are trying to put pressure on israel, not. escalate the situation further, the secretary general of palestine's islamic jihad movement has hailed iran's support for palestinians in the gaza strip. ziad nahal said that palestinians could not have continued their resistance against israeli occupation without iran's

5:40 pm
regarding the pro- palestine solidarity protest. moving to sana, in yemen where tens of thousands gathered once again and took to the streets of the capital and several other cities. okay, it seems like we do have amina taylor back, go ahead amina. it doesn't appear like we uh are having success here, we do apologize for that. let's continue with the news that i was uh just telling you which concerns yemen and how the yemenes have once again taken to the streets of their capital sana, including several other cities to reaffirm their full support for the oppressed palestinians in the gaza strip. precific correspondent in sana abdul latif alwashali has more. on the third of friday of ramadan. tens of thousands of yemanies felt the streets of sana and several other cities, renewing their unwavering support for

5:42 pm
failure to put into the israeli atrocities in palestine despite its recent seas fire resolution. we consider the security council complicated in the ongoing genocide against palestinians in gaza. the united states manipulates the security council and the united nations based its interests. that is why the us used its battle power three times. atrocities against palestinians in gaza. the problem is not with the security council or the united nations, but with the united states which has the power to control and manipulate these international organizations. there are many binding decisions that have not been implemented because washington uses this power against the weak and oppressed people of the world. it is necessary to find effective mechanism for the security council, because there are many countries that are

yarning to be liberated from the western hegemony. the events that the world is witnessing in some african countries are a clear proof for this desire for change. on thursday, abdul malik, the leader of the ansarullah movement, criticized the us and the uk for exploiting the humanitarian situation in yemen. he slammed them for threatening to cut the un provided aid to yemenies in. order to stop the country's naval operations. al-huthi asserted that according to the u.s. officers, the american navy has not faced such humiliation in the international waters since the 19th century. neither the military aggression against yeman know the sessation of the supply for humanitarian aid has succeeded in halting yemen's naval operations. further more, officials state that the ongoing western aggression only serves to motivate the yemani army to continue enhancing its capabilities. reporting for pres. socially sun we're going to cross on over now again to london, hopefully we have amina with us to tell us
5:44 pm
about the protest there uh where people a from what we understand have come out in droves showing their uh obvious support for the palestinians to disple the systems of oppression well i assume your cutting to me over here um in the iconic truck falga square i'm just going to get my lovely cameraman adam. to do nice pan for you to get some idea the crowds that have come out today on the 11th march, the 11th national demonstration, not of course bearing in mind others that have taken place up and down the length of this country, and i don't think it's any doubt at all and perhaps any coincidence why this march is taking place today,
5:45 pm
palestinians and dozens mores were injured as they tried to reaffirm their commitments and their love to the land of palestine and i think that feeling has translated itself here rising up and leading marches. great very good so mina uh when it comes to the protest that we're seeing here um obviously these have escalated. as the weeks have gone by in london and the uk maybe overall has been two to his word in terms of conducting these protests uh almost a weekly basis, what sentiment do you see out there uh from people when it comes to not only the uk government but also the us, we're just a couple days back uh or as recent as yesterday announced a new military assistance for israel for example so please give a warm welcome to alex
5:46 pm
sale. just repeat the last part of that statement there for me, just curious what people are saying uh when it comes to things like military assistance from the us, of course, um, what is actually very interesting, especially on this day, i mean i know you mentioned it in your introduction that there are so many different aspects of british out. asking for not just the cease fire here in in more than you know words and empty retoric, but actually an end to the fact that we're arming this genocidal regime, but there is a fight back, there is an absolute fight back here, let me bring in a friend to the program, producer and broadcaster uh sakina datu, and i'm just going to get her perspective on how those
5:47 pm
pro-genocidal campaigners, those pro-genocidal politicians. supported this uh ethnic cleansing, how they will be impacted at the poll, sakina, people have been very clear about this message, have they not? absolutely, and i think there is such a renewed energy, you can see here, people have come up with one message that first of all they feel like you know all the processions they have been coming out to has made a difference in the sense that the british government voted for sease fire for the first time and they feel like this pressure now can be utilized to go. further and without a fail every person we've spoken to has made it very clear that at the poles this is their aim and this is what they are raising awareness for you can see that there are some political parties also who are present here who got their own stores and are mobilizing people and the message is very clear i think that for any of those politicians who support zionism who are not speaking out for
5:48 pm
palestine there is going to be huge punishment at the polls indeed i hope you've had the opportunity to hear. just a little bit of what we've had to say, thanks unfortunately to some of the communication errors. the speakers are gathering pace on the stage to my right, and we'll be of course bringing you some of the best bits of this when i found my package a little bit later on. it's uh goodbye from us in london until we talk again on this auspicious day, the 11th demonstration, london and will not be silence, back to you. okay, thank you very much for that, we do appreciate it. shows the depth of the numbers that have come out once again uh maybe another record to have been broken there we look forward to his to her package a little later on. our next speaker is member of parliament. well french firm has just been accused of providing arms components for israel which are being used against civilians in gaza. nearly a ton of parts needed for use in israeli and nato machine guns were apparently shipped back in october in what left this french
5:49 pm
parliamentarians have termed a massive scandal. ramin mazari has more from paris. a new report from a french investigative website alleges that france is supplying arms components for use by the israeli army in gaza. nearly a ton of parts for machine guns was sent in october to israel by a french firm whose parts have already been discovered in syria, somalia and elsewhere. the parts are for the type of weapon which has been used by israel in many of their recent massacres of palestinians. "the french government responded that the parts are being used by israel only for use in arms manufacturing for foreign customers, but many find that explanation hard to believe. opposition lawmakers have called it a massive scandal and accused the defense minister of lying before parliament. france claims that the only weapons authorized for export to
5:50 pm
israel are for purely defensive purposes, but activists say there is lack of transparency. in the arms export information which the government declassifies and an overall lack of honesty. these quote unquote explanations the french government are a joke and in very bad taste. how on earth can we possibly believe that machine guns are defensive weapon? however, this is very much in keeping with the national policy, which is total collaboration with. and cover for the regime of israel. spain, the netherlands, japan and canada have recently banned all arms exports to israel, and pressure is mounting for all western nations to follow. suit: multiple top ngos say that france is violating international treaties it has signed by continuing to supply military equipment to israel, even though it seems clear that these
5:51 pm
arms are being used to commit genocide, crimes against humanity and other war crimes. the complicity of france with the israeli genocidal regime is continuing, even despite the emotion and the anger generated by the... mass murder of tens of thousands of people in gaza. we shouldn't be fooled when paris rarely, and only rarely, modifies its tone slightly towards tel aviv, because its actions are 99% against the palestinians. the french arms dealers, eurolinks, who since 1950 have supplied the french army with weapons parts for use in places like algeria, vietnam and elsewhere, is expected to come under massive local protests in the coming week.
