fridays are
pretty cool i guess didn't see that one
coming did you but the last day of the
work in school week doesn't need me to
say it'sawesome it just is i'm carl azuz we're
diving a little deeper today into the
ongoing conflict between israelis and
palestinians
often referred to as the middle east
conflict when we produced this show
not much had changed from the day before
the two sides were still engaged in
their worst violence in years with the
israeli military launching more
airstrikes in palestinian controlled
areas and palestinian militants firing
more rockets into israel
in several israeli cities there's been
rioting and violence between
arab and jewish citizens one mayor says
decades of coexistence between these two
groups had beenquote trampled flights into israel have
been cancelled by several international
airlines
and it looked like the israeli military
and palestinian militants were both
waiting for the other side
to stop its attacks first before pulling
back on their own
gaza is the palestinian controlled
territory from which rockets are being
launched and which is being targeted by
israeli airstrikes
gaza is controlled by hamas a muslim
fundamentalist group that does not
recognizeisrael as a nation because hamas attacks
through the years have targeted
civilians
the u.s government and european union
consider it to be a terrorist
organization
as does israel hamas wants an islamic
country established in the region that
now includes israel
but decades of efforts to establish two
countries in this area
a palestinian state and an israeli state
have all failed
it has tremendous religious and
historical significance to jews and
muslims as well as christians
these rugged limestone hills in a rift
valley east of the mediterranean sea
have a rich and storied past from the
bible
right up to the present different
peoples give it different names
palestine judea and samaria or more
simply the west bank
sitting as it does on the western side
of the jordan river
nearly three million people live here
about two and a half million
palestinians
and more than four hundred thousand
jewish settlers
it's not large just twice the size of
rhode island
luxembourg but it has been a central
part of the israeli-palestinian conflict
for decades june
1967 is a key month that's when israel
convinced it faced imminent invasion
from its arab neighbors
launched a series of pre-emptive strikes
in the shortsix-day war that followed israel
captured land from syria
egypt and jordan from which it took the
west bank and east jerusalem
when the united nations security council
convened a few months later
it declared the west bank like all the
conquered lands
occupied territory the israeli army was
orderedto withdraw but there was little
inclination
to do so not only did the land provide
israel with a greatly enhanced sense of
security along its eastern flank
it also meant access to holy sites with
which the west bank is
richly endowed in hebron stands the cave
of the patriarchs where abraham is
buried
in bethlehem there's rachel's tomb
further north in nablus
is the tomb of joseph these sites and
many moreare holy to jews as well as the
christians and muslims
in control of the west bank israel began
building
homes for jewish settlers which became
towns with schools
medical centers even the university
the population of the settlements grew
from 10 000 in 1979
to 100 000 by 1992 to over
440 000 in 2019
all protected and supported by israeli
soldiers
as well as concrete barbed wire and
checkpoints
tensions with the palestinian population
who felt they were being driven from the
landand subjugated have many times boiled
over
producing indelible images still
associated with the region the rock
throwing youth
the carnage of a suicide attack the
devastating power of tanks
and attack helicopters but there have
also been attempts at peace and
resolution
and the focus has generally been on the
same formula two states
for two peoples the united nations tried
it first in 1947
a partition of the land held by britain
for three decades into
a jewish state and an arab state the
plan
fell apart rejected by arab powers
the high point of peace efforts came in
the 1990s
as part of a negotiated agreement the
oslo accords
the west bank was divided into three
areas
it was an arrangement only ever meant to
be temporary
bridging the way to the establishment of
a state of palestine
also including gaza and parts of
jerusalem living
side by side with the state of israel
but it never happened
legally little has changed most of the
international community continues to
describe all of the west bank as
occupied territory
and says israel's settlements are
illegal
israel disputes that saying its rights
to the land stretch back to biblical
times
and the status of the land was unclear
when jordan had it before 1967
palestinians also lay historical and
religious claim to the land where they
still hope
one day to build their state
the reality is that diplomacy has been
in limbo for years
negotiations a peace process seem like
ideas
from another era

10 second trivia longhorn olympic and
pony express are all the names of what
national historic trails oil pipelines
railroad companies or cryptocurrency
these are all the names of oil pipelines
like the colonial pipeline we've been
reporting on
[Music]
less than a week after it was hit by a
cyber attack on its computer systems
the colonial pipeline is up and running
again the company's main supply lines
were restarted on wednesday
night but fuel flows through these pipes
slowly at five miles per hour
so it could still be days before
southeastern gas stations have fuel to
sellas of thursday morning most gas stations
in north carolina south carolina
and virginia were dry the fuel tracking
app gas buddy also reported significant
outages from tennessee to maryland
besides the slow flow of fuel there's a
shortage of qualified truck drivers for
gas deliveries so that's not helping
things
the computer hacked on colonial pipeline
was carried out using ransomware
it typically steals or locks up a
business's important information
until a ransom is paid to get it back we
had conflicting reports on whether
colonial paid the ransom
by thursday morning a source had told
cnn that the company and u.s government
officials were able to get back
the most important info that was stolen
without paying the hackers
but thursday afternoon sources told the
bloomberg media company that colonial
paid the hackers nearly five million
dollars to get its files back
on wednesday president joe biden had
signed an executive order
that requires better cyber security on
software sold to the government
but his administration says a lot more
work is needed to prevent hacks like
this one on colonial pipeline
a new electric vehicle concept is making
waves because it would fly right above
themthis is what a company named regent
calls a ground effect vehicle
it's a plane that would fly very close
to the water making it more efficient
of course there'd be less margin for
error that close to the surface at 180
miles per hour
other companies are working on concepts
like this regent hopes to get its off
the ground orwater by 2025. a seaplane that is plain
to see
would be an oversea adventure wave
hopping without stopping could be a
popping business venture still the
service could make nervous those who
fear they'd scratch the surface shaking
loose a new spruce goose on sea or sky
could ground its purpose
