you're. supporting some 2000000 people made in right and we're hearing that some of these agencies are starting to downsize their operations that doesn't sound like a very good trend that the curve is on i think what aid agencies are doing are included in the norwegian refugee council is we're concerned about the current situation and if it escalates further it's a very unknown situation and it's very volatile we still have many many of our workers on the ground so for example we have $96.00 yemenis stopped in southern yemen $61.00 of whom are in art and so we don't want to stop our operations but we need to really expand in order to be able to move around and not only that civilians themselves they need a cease fire they need a political resolution so they can leave their homes that they can move around freely and that and so that they can feel safe you mentioned that 40 people have
12:01 am
already been killed because of this crisis so we need the fighting to end a peaceful resolution so that people can get the help they need i thank you so much for explaining the situation there now protesters in hong kong have been out in force once again across different parts of the city the latest standoff took place inside a train station that was filled with smoke after police fired tear gas at protesters earlier officers trying to disperse a crowd that surrounded a police station as a major shopping district some of the scenes played out across the city as police tried to chase away crowds who set up barricades meanwhile a 3 day sit in in hong kong international airport appears to be wrapping up the protest movement is now entering its 10th week bryant has the latest from hong kong . we've had a another day of the typical hong kong protests they start quite peacefully almost
12:02 am
in a carnival type atmosphere as you mentioned that the protests that were taking place today are not allowed to have taken place they didn't have permission from the police nonetheless thousands of people turned out police were nowhere to be seen they just basically allow people to take over the streets they they have their own marshals or there were marching along that seemed to control the traffic but then as predictably perhaps again the ends in these violent clashes the protests we've been following in particular this has been on the cow kalou district of hong kong from an area called champs choice and basically thousands of people marched all the way across the calhoun peninsula to this place which is trying to show one that now when they people reached here thousands of those simply went home but there was always in these protests a hardcore that advanced on the police station that's in this area actually show and they advanced as they have done many times before build a barricade put up the umbrellas to get closer and closer to the police station
12:03 am
basically trying to get within throwing range and they were using not only a few rocks this time but also marbles being fired from catapults devices there are . different types of devices being used and police did respond in force there was tear gas and also quite a few rubber bullets and then after that in this particular area of calhoun police really did come out in force to hold squads of riot police took to the streets very much as a stamping their austerity once more on this place that they are in control david's way again is professor emeritus at hong kong university of science and technology he says hong kong is governor should make an effort to talk to the activists. i think that the young people are just have the will to to hang in there because the government has refused to make any kind of concessions beyond the initial concession of tabling the. extradition bill and those other
12:04 am
requests that do not seem that silly that ridiculous i you know i think that what's really happened is that the young people have drawn a line in the in the in the sort of in the sand and said to both the hong kong government and the beijing government that we don't want any more constraints on our freedoms you know there's about 3540 percent of the people in hong kong who are pretty probe aging and have voted that way consistently for the last 25 years and so i think that's in part the audience she's speaking to and the extent to which she can get middle class people who might be leaning towards the students or the young people and just get them to say look this is really starting to cost us money people are coming in for business this is really bad for business and there's no doubt that it's bad for business but you know who started it one of the demands can
12:05 am
she saw i mean she is the one if she can get big and good grief she's the one who's going to be able to solve this the young people are not going to stop being you know she said at that same time stop the violence and then if you stop the violence i'll talk to you but until you stop the violence i won't talk to you and the truth is that without violence she's made no movements claim all still ahead on the news hour including. for the foreseeable future i would place the remains longside the libyan people. the u.n. says there were continue operations in libya despise an attack that killed 3 of its peacekeepers. and for the 1st time in 70 years tourists can take a hike along the demilitarized zone between north and south korea. and its 4 u.s. athletes face serious punishment after several podium protests at the pan american games in lima.
12:06 am
israeli police moved into a lock some mosque compound in east jerusalem during a standoff with palestinians in one of the gates of the holy site dozens were injured when officers set off sound grenades and rushed people out of trouble began when rightwing jewish groups demanded access to the site on the muslim holiday of. howie for said reports from occupied east jerusalem. chaos and confrontation inside the compound on the 1st day of her. usually non muslims about access on muslim holidays but for a 2nd time this summer significant dates for jews and muslims have overlapped and for a 2nd time israeli security forces decided to allow in jewish groups having said they would only do so if they assess the security situation is favorable. toward. the extreme right wing government in the state is supporting the settlers to target
12:07 am
the holy sites and to invade them in order to control into judea zone they try continuously and repeatedly jerusalem people are resisting and we will fight on against these practices. earlier on sunday tens of thousands of muslim worshippers had answered the call from the islamic walk the trust that operates the compound under your 40 of jordan to pray in and around other local mosques were ordered closed to man. numbers the muslim officials aware that right wing jewish nationalists have been demanding access to the site known to jews as the temple mount on t. shirt but of the day jews mourn tragedies in their history including the destruction of the 1st and 2nd temples perhaps the key question about today's events is why the israeli security forces decided to change their minds in the early part of the day they decided to ban on was limbs entry to the al aqsa mosque compound for fear of friction a change that position and friction ensued anyway
12:08 am
a police spokesman said the situation changed after they dispersed muslim worshippers using stun grenades tear gas and rubber bullets he denied that was a tactic to clear the way for jewish groups saying security forces responded after chairs and stones were thrown at them there has been an increasingly vociferously movement on the religious right in israel for more access to the site a change to the status quo arrangements in force since the start of the israeli occupation in 1967 you had a glick is a leading voice in that movement and i asked him whether the decision to allow access was a political one by a government that wants to satisfy right wing voters ahead of september's election mr netanyahu last week told the police you do what you think is right i'm not going to get involved and if you say on line that he did it for political reasons you are lying to your crowd it has nothing to do with the decision was made personally by the office of the police palestinians those see this as intensely political the senior p.l.o. politician hamas accusing israel of recklessness and aggression designed to provoke
12:09 am
religious and political tension this holy site is once again a flashpoint and a focal point in the conflict are a force that al-jazeera occupied east jerusalem. well ali i would ama is co-founder of the electronic intifada an online news publication focusing on palestine he joins us now from chicago good to have you with us so just to give some background to this story according to article 9 of the 994 peace agreement between the jordanians and israelis is the jordanian religious authority the half that administers the mosque compound as far as you know did the jewish visitors entered today with the permission or coordination of the half authorities at all. you know as you can see they end with the full might of israeli occupation forces gassing and you know firing stun grenades it was ship was on the 8th.
12:10 am
grade the biggest the most the calendar and one of the holiest sites to muslims in the world and i think it's pretty important that report you just had was very good but it was incomplete the american sackless seen in that clip click is not just fighting for more access for jews that was the term that was used but he's the leader of something called the temple movement one of the key leaders of the temple movement whose goal is very explicit that this is the destruction of our locks of mosque credits replacement with a jewish temple what they claim would be a rebuilt jewish temple on the site of this temple movement is funded by the israeli government and is funded by the jurors to occupation municipality and i get that very clear about what that goal is it's the removal of the dog of the rock the removal of the al aqsa mosque and that missing context is crucial to understanding
12:11 am
why these is ready propagations so dangerous. clarify than it on that point for some viewers watching around the world who might say well why would muslims and palestinians find it so provocative if others simply want to visit a site that's holy to others to. write well they don't but let's let's compare when there is a major jewish holiday israel imposes a total curfew on the west bank and tightens its blockade on gaza palestinians aren't allowed to and to jurors that millions of palestinians from the west bank they're not allowed to go to their home. leave places this is all supposedly to protect the safety of of jews but when it's a major must not call a day not only does israel not impose any restrictions it
12:12 am
actually enables extremists whose goal is the destruction of the most of them holy sites to go up and to provoke people and then attacks mostly worshippers with stun grenades and with tear gas. as we have seen in the clips so again. palestinians and probably the city and muslims and christians have no problem with jews as jews worshipping following their religion but again what we have to not be fooled by the israeli efforts to mosque they it's israel's constant encroachment in efforts to take over. most lymphocytes in jerusalem simply jews are let me jump in the press and if you don't give them any let me give you the line that will come from back from you who did lincoln people from the temple movement say that that what they call that advocating for civil
12:13 am
rights and freedom and equality in prayer rights. writes wrong with except you product you can't have civil rights under military occupation when his have no civil rights no human rights the bed the thing i would hope that lake which i fortunately i don't see many to too many journalists doing is why have you and your temple movement publish the blueprints for this jewish temple which will be built on the ruins of a lock some mosque according to their brides why have you published the videos raising money for the construction of this to have why are you receiving money from the israeli government in the occupation municipality injures them to promote this this jewish temple construction there's only one site where this jewish temple could be according to them and that's over the ruins about lots of mosques so that's that's what i would be doing to expose yet heard the lake's claim that this
12:14 am
is about civil rights and simply about jews getting more access this is about completing the messianic takeover of jerusalem and that includes not just the ox but the ongoing destruction of promised in your homes and said live and other neighborhoods to build settlements and the build jewish theme parks a mist to erase the arab muslim christian and palestinian past present and future of occupied jerusalem when i am in a from the electronic intifada thank you the hajj pilgrimage in saudi arabia is coming to a close for millions of muslims it's the world's largest annual religious gathering performing the stoning of the devil ritual some laid to sacrifice animals to mount the beginning of. on saturday more than 2000000 climbed the sacred hill of mount arafat's they prayed and recited the koran. people in indonesia marked the
