israel's genocidal war stands at over 27, earlier in our news review program we discussed with our guest the plite of displaced palestinians and israel's incessent attacks on gaza. here's an extract from that discussion. me to invite a couple of guests now for this news review, is our correspondent is in gaza and dar albela and nicholas js davis, independent journalist and author is also joining me from miami, good to have both of you gentlemen, let's first go to dalla and get an update from our corresponder underground there, israeli air strikes and the israeli incursions were maintained over uh the last couple of hours, began with the
8:33 am
central area of gaza strip where uh it was a bloody day for the palestinian civilians here in the city as the israeli war planes destroyed so far, at least for palestinian residental buildings in addition to mosque, these buildings actually were overcrowded with the palestinian people and the palestinian uh evacuees who fled their houses and their residental buildings and neighborhoods in the northern parts and gaza city every strike. every air strike waged by the israeli waring blans uh means uh the dozens of the palestinian casualties over the over the last three days the israeli occubition forces intensify their attacks on the central area of gaza strip city and rafa in city those areas they were claimed by the israeli occubition forces as safe areas and they have been demanding the palestina civilians to flee from gaza city and and the
8:34 am
northern bar of gaza city to those areas for three consecutive months since the very beginning of this brutal on gaza uh so uh generally when it comes to the israeli attacks we can see that the israeli attacks are covering all areas of gaza strip all right thanks for that now nicholas uh you see what the situation is like terrible is not enough to describe that this is something on present going and brought daylight this genus. and ethnic cleans in the palestinians and all the core crimes happening, the are western leaders just sitting there and saying, okay, it's enough, protective civilians, they're just giving it up service, and people are getting killed so easily, no safe place in gaza, so uh, would you anticipate, how many more lives should be lost for this to stop? it is very hard to say, because um, they um, we've had us officials today talking about, a ceace fire,
8:35 am
but the terms that the us wants for a ceace fire and that israel wants for a ceastfire are essentially um the surrender of gaza. to to the israelis um uh they you're talking about having a a six week um six week pause in the fighting during which all the hostages would be released and then and then the israelis would be free to just um unleash unleash their genocide with even less restraint because there would no longer be the hostages there so i mean this is not the this is not a serious negotiation on the part of israel and the united states, it is really for domestic consumption to their own people to act like they are support a cease fire, but you know, in instead, while even as they
8:36 am
conduct what what demands to a sort of propaganda operation to to, blame hamats, the palestinians for for the continuation of the genocide, um, "you know the the us and the uk are are are stepping up their assaults anyone around the middle east that is standing with the palestinians and trying to relieve some the pressure from gaza, and um, you know, president biden has admitted that bombing the hoousis in yemen will not lead them to cease their attacks." so these these actions by the united states on behalf of israel and and on behalf of their own interests um are really just um escalations. all right, appreciate that, that's the end of this news reveal, let

8:50 am
nigerian capital abuja muslim. women and girls have held a conference on hijab claiming that women are still persecuted and discriminated against for having hijab in the country. this is despite the supreme court ruling which established the use of hijab as a fundamental human right. one of the speakers at the conference explained that wearing the hijab is a religious obligation for muslim women who have been directed to cover their bodies. she that it is therefore unacceptable for any discrimination against women on account of having hijab. sometimes the non-muslims see hijab as kind of barrier or as kind of something that is... is anti-national development, feeling that muslims are trying to show that they are muslim is exclusive, but the truth of the matter, we all know that what we are trying
8:51 am
to protect is the morality of the society, so the moment lady wears hijab, it means he's been protected from the predatory eyes of the men, the coalition of nigerian muslim women also stage an outreach in a park in abuja where they engage both. muslims and christians explaining the benefits of the hijab. many women and girls were offered free pieces of head scarf, veils and were taught how to tie them. in a public park you have different set of people, different faith and different characters, so we feel that uh islam is a religion for the universe, and then we need to share with everybody, and then this hijab being a very controversial issue in nigeria, especially in our institution of higher lining and even in some few government establishment, we feel that we need to be here. the group of muslim women have insisted that everyone should understand
8:52 am
that the hijab emphasizes the dignity, confidence, modesty, protection and respect for females. they said the hijab is neither a symbol of the oppression of women, no an act of defiance against non-muslims and called on all nigerians nursing this erroneous perception, to stop in the interest of peaceful coexistence and respect for the law, abdullahi, press tv, abuja. iran has kicked off nationwide ceremonies marking the 45th anniversary of the 1979 islamic revolution. the 10-day celebrations dub the 10-day dawn, is traditionally a time to look back and to reflect on the achievements that iran has made thanks to the victory of the revolution. one of the fields in which iran has made significant progress is... technology, today the country ranks among the top five in the world. gisumy has more. scientists working
8:53 am
with special electron microscopes in order to undertake cutting edge research and product development. this is nanotechnology, the integration of science and engineering on a tiny scale, namely with atoms and molecules. a relatively new field of science and technology with perceived longter. benefits, one that iran has taken very seriously and today is reaping its rewards. this is all in line with long-term goals and three tenure plans to develop nanotechnology in iran with leader of the islamic revolution ali khamenei's full support.
8:54 am
is an important step and top priority. in 2001, which is pretty much the same time that other countries began to engage in nanotechnology development, we established a nanotech headquarters and in many universities and research centers across the country, scientists started doing research in this field. we started with few than 10 scientists, but today there are more than 40,000 researchers and university professors working in this field in more than 150. explain what we mean by prioritizing. right
8:55 am
now, as we speak, we have commercialized 1800 nano products. more than 350 manufacturers have received nanotechnology production permits and many laboratories are now equipped with or use nanotech devices and products, but the beat news is in 2022 we saw. over $1 billion worth of nano products and we earned $70 million from exports. currently $47 countries, including regional countries such as iraq and turkey import nano products made in iran. advancements in a relatively new field of science such as nanotechnology is only one of the many achievements aron has made after the islamic revolution and definitely one that every single iranian is proud of. over the past two decades, the islamic republic of iran has been able to gain a firm foothold in nanotechnology, today ranking among the world's top five in the field. yasummadi
