10:15 pm
but it's with reports. there are practical calculations to make when the lord decides to demolish someone's home how much explosive where to put it these israeli soldiers are doing the math. and there are human calculations for the family they are where will they go and how will they find the money for a new home and there will be all we do is think about our home we wake up thinking about this i don't sleep because i'm thinking about it we're going to become homeless i really can't describe how that feels it's very difficult for us to live israel isn't forcing for the 1st time an 8 year old military order that says nothing can be built here within 250 meters of the separation barrier that's why it's miles house the pink one has got to be demolished but the one behind it which is just as close to the fence it was built before the law was enforced and so apparently it can't be considered
10:16 pm
a security risk that israel demolishes palestinian homes isn't unusual palestinian researches say $538.00 of what israel calls unauthorized structures were knocked down last year but a legal precedent is being set in wadi al hamas it's the 1st time demolition orders have been issued for 16 properties built to with permits from the palestinian authority on land under its sole administration. and in a place where israeli control over palestinians is absolute even this tent put up to welcome visiting diplomats to be taken down on police orders they said it had no permit so the diplomats were ushered into a garage to listen to the fears of the people who live here it's a legal precedent so this is a limiter commander of the west bank decided to carry the similar. money since i me we're in the west bank and then the president is there it's is. nobody a
10:17 pm
family will stay here until the soldiers knock commodore because they have nowhere else to go that's when about i'm thinking about that day about what will happen i'm concerned all the time the palestinian authority says the demolitions are in breach of international resolutions destroying the prospect for an independent state of palestine bernard smith al-jazeera in the occupied west bank. now the word heat wave is an increasingly frequent use and here it is again with rob in the us right it is but it's a different type of we're not going to break any records with high temperatures this is a different beast altogether so around the edges of this beast have been some spectacular storms recently particularly places like wisconsin even bits of illinois in this this frontal system here drug into relatively high temperature this is typical of the summer in the u.s. so so far no surprise but look at the temperatures you got $37.00 in denver that starts writing frequent some 70 marching to another not that much and $34.00 in
10:18 pm
chicago these are all not record breakers either but they're accompanied by a fairly high level of humidity so possibly for the 1st time this number of americans 150000000 americans are under sort of a heat wave warning it's more of a heat stress were combining really high temperatures with hard humidity and that case you can be potentially fatal because you can't cool there and that's using a conditioning or jump in water and not everybody can luckily it's not going to be a prolonged heat wave is the is the number of states it covers the was the distinct thing but even by saturday was out in the cooler air that frontal system starts pushed out but for an example $26.00 down in chicago last 10 degrees let's pick a city and it will be chicago thunderstorms want that out of the way so we've only had 2 days of it and chicago new york at last one day longer but it will go something. still ahead on al-jazeera. going to continue.
