head held high. well fast one of the main palestinian factions has urged people to continue their street protests on saturday dozens were injured and arrested on the fourth day of demonstrations in occupied east jerusalem israeli forces fired stun grenades and tear gas as they charged through a peaceful demonstration in one of the city's busiest shopping streets alan fischer was there. was it would let you know that if. it started as a small protest handful of people but as they walked towards all jerusalem dome one of the city's busy shopping streets there was blogged by police and soldiers told they had no permit to march that they were blocking the road they were forcibly pushed back to the bar in a city where anger has been close to the surface since donald trump's controversial decision it sparked a series of running confrontations. police sent in horses to break up the crowds creating widespread anger and panic this has been

a pattern throughout the afternoon as crowds gather by the side of the street the horses have been sent ten at some pace to try and break those crowds up the riders have even been using their weapons it really is quite frightening for the people who are standing here watching these horses racing towards them. i don't want to see that getting here because i want to bend the big bend and yes i know i will never give up this is our country would save it was the clerk at that and i was seven at the antennas and it was. using. that as. the security forces using grenades and there were reports of injuries from rubber coated steel bullets if anyone produced a palestinian flag it was taken from them forcibly sometimes violently the flags destroyed in front of their face the other the were.

then the woman we spoke to earlier was arrested the police couldn't tell is why. this is what's happening and generously in journalism it will be thorough and that if you base in journalism into a beast through the capital of palestine. through the afternoon the security forces backed off the crowds gathered the police moved up and the whole cycle began again . the security forces tried to grab people they thought were throwing stones at them identified by police photographers who'd been in the crowd by nightfall the situation had stabilized but the under come to tension and the anger was still there but she was no sign of going away alan fischer al-jazeera in occupied east jerusalem arraf also joins us live from occupied east jerusalem harry what's the expecting there today. well so far it's extremely quiet here in moscow skates just

outside the old city in occupied east jerusalem this has been a scene of protest since the declaration by donald trump on wednesday night and as you saw in alan's package on saturday it spilled into the streets around here in them in the most of the substantial confrontations that we've seen with israeli forces that said it has been relatively limited so far the stun grenades you saw in that report that's the first time they've been used that was a regular occurrence in july when there were the mass protests about the imposition of metal detectors outside the al aqsa mosque compound so relatively restrained so far and that is the case as well despite the largest size throughout the occupied west bank as well we have seen more confrontational protests in gaza we've seen the fatalities the only fatalities so far taking place in gaza what we've heard from the israeli defense minister is an expression of hope as far as the israelis are

concerned that these protests will now start to die down that of course has yet to be seen what we what could happen is if there is if something unexpected happens if there is a major confrontation major loss of life or some other violence event then that could itself sustain greater protests at the moment things have been relatively restrained we wait to see how it develops on sunday we are continuing to get comments and analysis of this harry i see as well we've got some comments from lieberman the israeli defense minister for those in context for us because he seems to be playing down the central a c. of moving the embassy to jerusalem. well he's not the only one i mean there are some on the other side of the argument as well who say that it's less about moving the embassy than it is about the recognition of jerusalem as the capital i mean you

get there's arguments on both sides the israeli side of the argument is that look this is been our capital since the creation of our state in one hundred forty eight it is a recognition of that reality and that moving the embassy is something that the united states should do that every other country should do as well and that there is no great fuss to be made about it donald trump said that the final status of jerusalem was something to be negotiated and so nothing really has changed on the other side of the argument you get palestinians who say. that the embassy move is really just a follow on from this hugely. game changing decision by donald trump to recognize jerusalem in these very emotive terms as the israeli capital and so now you have the palestinian authority as of yesterday saying officially and they've been indicating this obviously for a few days but saying that now is the time to find another mediator that the united states can no longer be that mediator and they're also saying that more things need

to be shaken up not just that but also the idea of the palestinian authority merely as a service providing or foreign or for eighty it needs to be recast as a government of a future state and they need to start making internal arrangements along those lines kerry thanks very much. well as the israeli prime minister heads to europe he's facing growing anti corruption protests at home. and the latest demonstrations thousands rallied in tel aviv many are angry over the slow pace of a criminal investigation into benjamin netanyahu he denies accusations that he received gifts from wealthy businessmen and negotiated a deal with a newspaper owner for better coverage. iraq's prime minister has declared it's war against eisel as over. his troops have driven the remaining fighters from the iraqi syrian border and they are now in control of that area i slid vanstone iraq three

welcome back you're watching al-jazeera coming to live from doha this hour your top stories the israeli prime minister is on his way to europe where there have been protests and widespread condemnation of the u.s. decision to recognize jerusalem as the israeli capital benjamin netanyahu is expected to meet emmanuel michael in the coming few hours iraqi prime minister has declared the end of a three year war against eisel in his country he says his troops of clear the iraqi syrian border the last remaining pockets of the. a dangerous violation of international law that's how the arab league is describing u.s. recognition of jerusalem as the israeli capital now its president trump to reverse

the decision and says it will seek a u.n. security council resolution to reject the move and he has tied up. at an emergency session of the arab league a show of unity and anger the twenty two nations that make up the organization gathered in cairo to forcefully reject u.s. president donald trump's recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital. this decision threatens jury summons legal status and affects all the arab muslims and christians and the islamic world all together we would like here to be frank and call things by their real name the decision taken by the american administration to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel and to move the american embassy to jerusalem is unacceptable and very dangerous. the arab league has long been involved in the palestinian struggle first by denouncing the creation of israel and through its involvement in the one nine hundred forty eight arab israeli war. it

later supported the creation of the first international body representing the palestinian people which led to the formation of the palestinian liberation organization or p.l.o. which was admitted as a member in one thousand nine hundred sixty four. three years later after the six day arab israeli war the league issued the so-called khartoum resolution which said what became known as the three no no peace with israel no recognition of israel and no negotiations with it. but at the beirut summit in two thousand and two the league adopted the so-called arab peace initiative a saudi inspired peace plan to end the conflict a plan offered full normalization with israel in exchange israel was required to withdrawal from all occupied territories to recognize palestinian independence in the west bank and gaza strip with east jerusalem as its capital as well as a just solution for palestinian refugees peace initiative was indorsed again at the

riyadh summit five years later but never resulted in any kind of agreement now with president trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital and arab led solution to the israeli palestinian conflict seems further away than ever but whatever the case arab league leaders announce they reached an agreement on how to respond to the move. first thing this decision is rejected and the arab league with all its consequences secondly we have agreed to form a committee for peace making which will deal with the international community this is an order to achieve progress in respect of the palestinian issue jordan will be head of the committee which will be formed next month despite the anger the arab league put forward no measures against the united states although it said it would consider its options well continuing efforts to find a lasting solution to the palestinian struggle a struggle that shows no signs of easing.

now later today the nobel peace prize will be awarded to the international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons at a ceremony in all slowed the campaign has fought for a global treaty banning nuclear weapons which now has more than fifty countries signatories diplomatic it as james bases. in the grounds of united nations headquarters a statue showing a georgian the dragon the very in question beast made out of decommissioned nuclear missiles the u.n. was founded in the same moment in history as the only actual use of nuclear weapons in fact president harry truman signed the charter of the organization on the same day that his forces dropped a bomb on the japanese city of naggers sarky just five months later the first meeting of the un general assembly and its first resolution was about what it

somewhat euphemistically called the problems raised by the discovery of atomic energy that is adapted unanimously after seventy. seven more than seven decades later a new campaign to ban nuclear weapons was backed by a grassroots network of activists coordinated by icann the international committee for the abolition of nuclear weapons they made a significant breakthrough a new treaty in september when the treaty was open for signature on the very first day fifty nations signed it in this chamber now that number fifty is crucial if fifty countries go on to take the next step and formally ratify it in many countries that involves a parliamentary vote then this will become international law the five most powerful nations at the u.n. do not support the treaty the permanent members of the security council see their

right to veto and their nuclear weapons as key instruments of strategy there have been efforts at nuclear disarmament in the past in the u.n. lobby a picture of a meeting between u.s. president john f. kennedy in one thousand nine hundred eighty one with the russian foreign minister under a grim eco the hope in the following year died when the world came close to nuclear war during the cuban missile crisis some see parallels to recent events. i've been very much concerned because there is some talk about let's do something that's cool down the temperature and let's get into dialogue but the dialogue has essentially stopped already for a long time there were various efforts over the years and over the decades but in essence there hasn't been any dialogue for quite a number of years and in the meantime north korea has stepped up their efforts to acquire nuclear weapons it's not just the prospect of war in north korea and the u.s. threatening to pull out of the iran nuclear deal there's also the prospect of

a new arms race president trump has made it clear he wants to modernize his nuclear arsenal james al-jazeera at the united nations and you can watch the nobel peace prize award ceremony live at twelve hours g.m.t. here on al-jazeera that's five hours from now and later at sixteen hours g.m.t. we'll have an exclusive interview with the director of i can be interested in. the universal declaration on human rights was signed sixty nine years ago but the u.n. says the document is increasingly being forgotten or willfully ignored the war in syria is now in its sixth year all sides in the conflict have been accused of targeting civilians with indiscriminate attacks in yemen activists say who the rebels and the saudi led coalition fighting them are responsible for many violations including extra judicial killings arbitrary detention and torture the running a crisis in myanmar escalated in august of this year more than six hundred thousand refugees escaped bangladesh after

a military crackdown which the un has called ethnic cleansing and in the philippines the president there were eager to thirty has been accused of killing civilians in his campaign against illegal drugs child stratford's in cox's bizarre where hundreds of thousands of are seeking refuge first let's go to joel in the gun in manila where protests are taking place jamil of the protests are they for or against mr tertius and what he's been doing. well definitely this is a protest against the president there are very strong words against a president that was voted into office over a year and a half ago promised that he will end the presence of crime and corruption in the presence of illegal narcotics basically within three to six months in office now according to rights groups since it took office more than fourteen thousand people have already died in drug related operations some of them killed by vigilante groups believed to be in the police now they're here for

a rally. a stadium basically in that it seems to be a commemoration for a slain hero and they say this place is spitting exactly because this is the kind. is that so many filipinos are facing today here they're calling for the president to resign for him to pull out his so-called war in drugs and basically to ask him to be responsible for these thousands of philippine this law died there is a looming case of the president at the moment a complaint and the international criminal court of mass murder submitted to him submitted last year this year by members of the opposition and it's expected to the trial is expected to start next year because we're viewing this through the prism of the declaration on human rights i mean is there any hint or any idea that mr c. might at some point in the future put what he does through a jew process all the legality the police the lawyers the district attorneys people

get involved in it and anyone who's found allegedly involved in say the drug small kids goes through that process. well peter you have to look at the narrative of the president nothing has changed since he started this campaign here he remains defiant he's threatened to slap and physically harm activists he's actually called and decided to members of the new people's army the communist movement terrorists i mean this is c.b.s. their loans are. really good i'm betting look that he's group human right they learn what they're doing not just the party leader but will be. the philippine military and they you know he was army. reserve was killed north of the capital of manila where you are someone on his way out after rescuing basically someone who

has been freed from prison a human rights activist who say that it was already reached a level that is i'm seeing in recent years worse than during the time of former president for the marcos. thanks very much for his in cox's hundreds of thousands of refugees seeking shelter there because of that crackdown that really kicked off in august charles would it be fair to say that those reading the refugees they had little or no human rights in me and ma and the human rights still open to investigation question because they still in effect stateless. that's right it's vital to remember that the rangers in myanmar have suffered decades of persecution the government doesn't recognize them as an ethnic group it withdrew their citizenship in one thousand nine hundred eighty two which means that they they do not have the same rights with respect to education with respect to health care freedom of movement they have been subjected for decades to arbitrary

arrests and then of course we've had this most recent crackdown that started on august the twenty fifth following those attacks by a ranger militant group on police stations since then all the six hundred twenty five thousand ranger have come across to these camps in bangladesh and frankly the stories that you hear on speaking to the refugees are horrific the u.n. has not ruled out that genocide or attempted genocide may have happened against the ranger we've seen evidence and heard stories of hundreds of villages burnt we've heard stories and seen evidence of potentially hundreds of men women and children killed the u.n. says that many women were gang raped by me and my soldiers in uniform i mean we spoke to a number of people just in the last day or so one man describing how he faked dead

having been shot and he says that he saw men separated from the women taken off into a field where they were made to lie down and were gunned and machete to death he said that a group of women were led into a field and made to run for their lives they were then shot and he says that another group of women were taken away to a school that he didn't know the fate of those women now of course the myanmar government is still sleep denied these kind of accusations but all evidence suggests according to the testimonies here and he's now. being supported by the u.n. and by major human rights organizations that the human rights situation in myanmar today remains very grave indeed and briefly charles when the government the military and therefore son suchi basically say look come back home this is your home your human rights will be respected the sanctity of human life will be respected one can understand the refugees reaction to that which is ok we are not

coming near me in my ever again well that's right and the bangladesh and myanmar government have come up with what they describing as a repatriation plan a plan that they hope can start in the next two months that could see a voluntary plan they hope for hundreds of thousands of ranger to be given a choice to return but as you say none of the ranger refugees that we speak to here have any faith in any kind of agreement like that the u.n. the u.n. actually are that we spoke to yesterday on this issue say it's absolutely far cicle at this stage to consider sending these people back or given the option of sending them back they are literally too traumatized and of course the situation that they fled from with respect to their rights their lack of citizenship and so on remains the same let alone the fact that so many hundreds of their villages and homes have

been destroyed so where in fact they go back to so yes any any any sort of talk from the myanmar government with respect to repatriation and welcoming the range of back certainly to the people here in the camps is just unthinkable at this stage charles thanks so much. as christians in south africa at church on sunday a religious rights commission is taking steps to regulate all places of worship now is to stop what it calls the commercialization of religion and other dangerous practices twenty page up from pretoria. written from. this woman has come to prophet ship with machete for help he takes her crutches and she walks on they consider this a miracle the congregants believe the holy spirit is channeled through prophet pushy and that sometimes they can feel it too up to thirty thousand people come to his enlightened christian gathering every sunday to be blessed with good health and succeeds i've been pregnant with my studies but this is

a dream year from doing the fifteenth i thank my son take many of the people who come here want to take something home so there's a range of items for sale posters honey and little bottles of oil all of these things have been touched blessed by the prophet and so by taking the home people believe they're taking a little bit of his narcotics crime to these even a stall is selling tickets for a prophetic cruise and it's at this side of pushing his church and others like it that have created debate the commission for the promotion and protection of the rights of cultural religious and linguistic communities known as c.r.l. for short says probable people are being taken advantage of by being promised blessings sometimes for price it wants all religious leaders to be registered to stop what it describes as the commercialization of religion and other dangerous practices in the past some religious leaders have feared congregants grass and

snakes and sprayed insecticide in their faces this has nothing to do with the bible it has everything to do with the individual then division is no court. the individual is an individual chosen a particular. woman as behave professionally and while some religious leaders are opposed to any other the science supports it as long as the new regulator isn't biased he rejects the suggestion his church is a business you see this by a book i didn't get it for free. so if we see there's a question mark sitting all things then i hope that it has to be like. sitting in the bibles religion office and a since of community but it can also be used against people if it is the religious rights commission says it should be an incrementalist in time you hold al-jazeera
