and homes. this is not just about implementing effective deconflection mechanism. our movements and locations are shared, coordinated and identified already. this is about impunity, total disregard for the laws of war, and now it must become about accountability. it not only shows the failure of deconfliction measures, it shows the futility of these measures in a war fought of with no rules, that... these attacks on humanitarian workers are allowed to happen is a political choice. israel faces no political cost, instead, its allies enable this brutality with impunity and provide even more weapons that mame and kill civilians indiscriminately. international medical charity, doctors without borders has accused israel of deliberately and systematically destroying gaza's healthcare system, msf

palestine event held on the last friday of the holy month of ramadan. the day was designated by the founder of the islamic republic of iran imam khaini in 1979 in solidarity with palestinians. muslims worldwide marked this year's what's day this friday. our correspondent in islam abod has asked the number of pakistanis about the event and its importance in the muslim world. unite against the people who control you, unite against the people who are making your governmentts be silent. the first thing you can do, forget your political differences, forget your racial differences, unite for gazza, unite for your brothers and sisters and children in palestine and have a unified voice that we want nothing less than immediate cease fire and humanitarian corridor and a... just peaceful and everlasting solution to the problem. 1.1 million are on the verge of collapsing with
1:43 am
hunger, there is huge feman which is unfolding in gaz right right now and and the supplies in the hospitals especially in the alshipa hospital or any other hospital, there are no supplies, no medicins, patients are dying, simply dying and children are put push to fame mine every day, they are dying, so in that condition 57 islamic countries should join hands and enforce seiz fire immediately. it should be a logical conclusion, the proceeding of the icj and icc against israel, we want to demarch the ambassador of the united states, the ambassador of the egypt and the ambassador of the uae. and the ambassador of the uk, saudi arabia, because
1:44 am
they are silent facilitator of the israel. i feel very hurt and i feel guilty. i feel like i am privileged to live in my house and with my kids. when we have dinner, i usually think what are they gonna eat, and when i see the videos of them eating soup, grass soups that make me hurt and it made me think, ya allah, what is happening with them, and we cannot help them even. even though there are many countries, muslim countries that are not even supporting, even egypt is with like bordering them, leban is bordering them, but no one is able to give them food, shelter, water. to me, if the united nations security counsel can't impose the seizfire after this council last decision, so i think there is no need of the united nation then. our correspondent muslim salim has asked people in baghdad about the international goods day and his
1:45 am
importance in the muslim world. let's take a listen. today, as we witnessed the israeli genocide against palestinians, we call on the muslim world to stand up for palestine and show their support. the whole world is witnessing the systematic killing of innocent people in gaza, even after the un security. council ordered to stop this genocide, as zionist regime insists on continuing its crimes, international gots day is a chance for all muslims to stand together for palestine. honestly, it's unfortunate how some of the arabic countries are standing still without taking action against ongoing genocide in gaza. it's a day of solidarity with the palestinian people and to remind the world of this humanitarian case which represents the will and struggle of the free people against colonialism. the great imam
1:46 am
initiated day after many countries left palestine behind. we commemorate this day annually. exposed those who attempt to normalize their relationship with designist regime. which was initiated by imam khameini is a great event that pushed the palestinian issue to the four. it showed how the access of resistance is an indispensable regional force and it highlighted the rights of the palestinians. the genocide against palestinians makes it imperative for the islamic nation and the whole world to stand together this friday during international puts day to show their solidarity with the people of palestine. the kremland spokesman says nato continues to expand this military presence towards the russian borders, the criticism comes as the us lead alliance is considering more military aid for ukraine.
1:47 am
earlier we discuss the topic in our news review program. let's listen to what our guests had to say. gramen smokesman says the relations between russia and the nato military alliance has reached a level of quote direct confrontation. dimitri paskov said the members of the us led alliance are already in continuous movement towards russia's borders through their involvement in the ukraine conflict. moscow has clearly stated that the war with ukraine aimed to prevent the western alliance. from approaching russian borders, the military alliance enlarged to 32 members by accepting finland and sweden in the past year, nato has been helping ukraine with advanced weapons, training and intelligence. the military block's members are now discussing plans for more than $100 million dollars of further military aid for kiev. ukraine has also been seeking to join nato in recent years, which
1:48 am
could escalate the tensions between russia and the west to even higher level. don debar is radio host and journalist uh at cpr news joining us from osanny new york. we also have greg simmons an independent researcher and author joining us from absala sweden. welcome to you both. um, i'll start with you first, don debar. h billion dollars. i don't know if that's a lot or maybe it's not a lot, but it does sound like lot uh for a commitment to perhaps be pondering there by nato to give to ukraine. what are your thoughts on that? depends on what you're measuring it against. start with what was russia's annual military budget, this big threat to world peace prior to this war that began in earnest in february of 2022, $65 billion a year, that there's actually no country in the world that has a budget of more than $100 billion a year for their military except the us and china. china
1:49 am
is about 250 billion for its entire military to protect one and billion people, so from that measure a billion, $100 billion dollars is an awful lot of money. um, let's look at it, however, from the cost to the people that are paying it in the united states and presumably in the eu, with $100 billion dollars, you could solve the homeless problem in the united states entirely, there'd be no more homelessness in the united states rather than tens of thousands of people living in the streets and every major city, you could solve the hunger problem in the entire world. for five years with $100 billion dollars, you 9 million people a year die of starvation in the world every year, you could solve that problem, so it's a lot of money, indeed, it's quite, i shouldn't say surprising greg simmons, but it's somewhat um, i don't know, what to call it, to say that nato has done
1:50 am
this before trump comes comes on board, i mean we're looking at eight months now if that were to happen, and between now and e months from now, including world lot of things could happen when it comes to nato and russia uh given this uh aid were to happen or not we're still looking at the tensions there that keep ratcheting up uh what type of uh confrontations do you for see or where do you see this going in terms of uh the military aspect of it? well i think the main problem is the level of unpredictability and the unpredictability comes from the collective west. uh, because what you have here is a bunch of mediocre politicians at best who have bruised egos, they predicted that russia would be defeated. that ukraine would win, they've done everything to try and do that, yet this is not the case, so there, it seems their egos are worth more than a major
1:51 am
military confrontation that nato initiates with russia, so this level of emotional investment in it from them makes it very unpredictable, the predictability comes from r which has been to date, i'd say rather restrained and very cautious about these constant provocations which have been used to try and irritate russia. all right, thank you very much. let me thank our guest don davar, radio host and journalist of cpr news and also greg simmonster independent research, researcher and author. thank you to you both. with that we come to an end for this news review. pakistan's authorities have detained

1:53 am
the regimes attacks on all areas of the besieg territory, including hospitals, schools and aid convoy continue. we are uh already seeing the impact on the economy, on the financial decline of mcdonald's and bacon. it's huge, even in some countries in arab countries, those outlets are being closed because nobody is buying it, the ongoing genocide in gaza has fueled anger and frustration among people worldwide. prompting calls for byycots against entities believe to support israel financially or politically. we got is something that we are um, you know what, this is what we feel from our heart from inside that we don't want to support their economy, we don't want to support the companies that are supporting the israely. so for that we need to boycott, i know this is not a permanent solution, but we have to boycott. authorities are now faced with the challenge of managing the fallout from the incident and preventing further escalation of
