infections low while england grapples with a high number of cases it's an icon of its stand bulls skyline a powerful symbol of turkish history decision is now pending to turn the status of the i use of fear back into a mosque. and it's for liverpool manager you're going top says his team will attack not defend the premier league title next season is team now getting ready to play manchester city having secured top spot with 7 games to spare. so tension remains high in ethiopia 3 days after a popular singer and activist was murdered touch island has been laid to rest along a funeral in his home town of just west of the capital his political songs provided a soundtrack for anti-government protests that ultimately led to a new prime minister in 28. however it was his death that kicked off the violence

that saw more than 80 people killed now the military has even been deployed will stop with the support from shell a bit less. people gathered in addis ababa to school the casket of popular musician her childhood days so we shall do it on monday. this procession marks the beginning of violence that has moved dozens to. a child and was an icon for ethiopia's biggest ethnic group the roma. his music was a soundtrack to protests that propelled prime minister into office in 2010 then i want to talk about how chile was a role model for the struggle for democracy human rights freedom and justice he was treacherously murdered by some external and internal elements who have been planning for a while now to start a strife and chaos among our people. his killing has spurred angry protests which

led to the government shutting down the internet on tuesday there is not little evidence of what is happening inside ethiopia. there are unconfirmed reports of gunshots and explosions in the capital where the military has been deployed in response to gangs and legibly roaming addis ababa prime minister has accused foreign forces of assassinating the singer in an attempt to destabilize the country doesn't look at the one as the u.n. security council was meeting to discuss the rely so instead of crisis this is cessation crime took place external forces may have colluded with local forces to destabilize pace and security in the country the others argue it's unlikely another country orchestrated which is killing ethnic tensions have grown in recent years with the remote complaining of marginalization despite them being the biggest of ethiopia's i see you think groups and having abi a fellow roma as prime minister i challenge other romo's had. kamu critical in

recent months of it one of the big questions is who actually killed the musician this is the match that touched everything off and i think what you're seeing here is a great deal of. rush which has been touched by this incident. human rights watch has accused the government of making a volatile situation worse after some of these political opponents were arrested including media tycoon john well mohamad. the europeans now fear. in his hometown of and on thursday may result in more violence shallop down less. than it was following this story for us from neighboring kenya mohamad how did the funeral actually go off today i'm sure there must have been some concern about there being yet more violence all protests. high commodity. will help and in the tunnel of about 100 kilometers from the

comfort zone of his of a and some of the people we spoke to told us that the crowd is one of the they had . there would be because the police. cools the some of the roads leading up to arm bore and have been disposing crowds of. people who've been trying to reach the tunnels to take part in the federal procession and bid farewell among because you did to be an icon in the ice of the people the region of ethiopia the largest region but also. people the largest ethnic group in ethiopia overnight to have been hearing about collages between. use in the cup the thought of a suburb on its environs some targeted killings. so. many people are wanted these may not be the end of the violence that you have seen

the 2 days and there's the possibility of it spiraling into something else especially when you've got to the important fact is not good one as we heard in the report the military being deployed but also the internet being counts as well no i don't know if that's returned or not but the moment you start cutting people's information off that can also lead to problems. what is a quite. a very common thing for the internet and telephone networks to be cut in if you hear every time the ease tension of these magnitude it's happened before but and be among what problem is you know more freedoms for the people of ethiopia this is of course coming as a surprise to many people that is using the same tactics that people have been complaining about in the. their kids after you have promised so much to the people of if you. but again the tension is real and if they something that these

latest cycle of violence it is your peers shows is that the prime minister still has a long way to cover in. dating his support in these his own region the only origin of his you're ok mohammed following developments from nairobi 1st thank you mohammed and now more with our senior lecturer at keele university an analyst on the horn of africa and he's in the u.k. just a bit of context if you wouldn't mind 1st of all i was about himself what well actually know not a bit because clearly he's a popular figure and is being mourned widely but what was going on before his death that would lead to this to trigger such feeling. so there were series of events that have taken place as the country was. trying to go as quickly a transition. as you know this government came into power on the back of the

sacrifice and the struggle of more people in which i had trouble and is was so all instrumental was out of this that we would not have the kind of what innovation that we had between 12152018. without the modern way of protesting we would not have had the political change that have happened in 2018 and brought the current climate into power and see this coming to power because prime minister do not really try to act as some of the fundamental question of the horse for a very long period of time so you keep watch and almost ask the fundamental question that was asking answer close to 200 singles questions the prime minister. was hold on to the changing of the political parties. that used to go in the country and so from a kind of ending build toward gays if you moved you to have. ethiopian party in the

mystic for most or the most is that you need be to a system where if any groups that represent it be that made it their identities into a part of european system that really see the necessary turn to the past which is what one was and you fighting against and almost be demanding that they are language. the national language in a thing as they don't in that regard and some of the statistics that the practice that have taken really under the number of people so what we saw after the dealer can open is you know he ease so it a towering figure whose aura it could be you know it's you know significant level or under but i think it's also that the actual malaysian of all laws expectations. that really didn't go in but it didn't materialize the country's used in terms of the p.t.a. all of us who were of the system so that if they saw all those frustrated that only

. and then if we move it forward or potentially what could happen for these 2 very important words say external forces which is what i have met as talked about give us your take on what he is alluding to there and what the repercussions of that could be so here in the mill europe external adversity that is your view how the right now. as a result of the differences for the construction of the european ground or innocence and. it is so far as there is concern 99 percent of europeans are all on the same page concerned most people into a 99 percent believe that yes if you are beautiful a right to sit down and to start feeling. you know you may have some people here and. you know we have to negotiate this and that but 99 percent of if you get up on the same behind the government now which the egyptians have an interest

in somebody saw important in kind of somebody that is headed to the aid of the important political constituency absolutely we cannot hold out the possibility that you could be behind it but at the same time egypt cannot be the only pertti who have an interest in appealing high drama there are so many other actors who hate what he represents he hates who hates the hopes and aspirations lets that he and. it is you go to sleep at this point that it's not easy vision for the prime minister to say that or there are some external enemies usually important also you know these are and it needs to be stylishly is was evidence ok then i will always a pleasure talking to you thank you for joining us on this news hour. let's have a look at what's coming up for you at least 2 dozen people killed when an attack at a drug rehabilitation facility this is in mexico president trump has secured half

recent history but on this topic. yes they say that annexation is an existential threat for effect to have mass and also the whole palestinian national project and that's why they say that they expect that this would be an instant or this this would be a chance for them to get over their differences and unite they say that talks between them are not new they've been discussing for a while and ways to stop the israeli plans they said that not only that the israeli plans are dangerous on the national cause on a regional level but also on the palestinian people who are going to be pushed out of the land because israel is making life for them so unbearable that they have no option but to leave it but on the ground the rift between the 2 parties is still ongoing they said that they acknowledge that they still have points of difference is that if it is more than 13 years old and there has been many attempts to bridge

the gap and have palestinians reunite but it's proved every time they meet that they couldn't implement these decisions or some came up between the 2 but. really the have mass neither speaking from beirut said that they're going to be overcoming these differences that this is an instant for them to really go because it's they said it's going to be the end of the 2 state solution so it is seen here as a chance for the 2 parties to mend their gap of course there is a lot of skepticism and many journalists in the press conference addressed that but both of the there is said that they are an extension is a threat it's an existential threat and that's what is going to make the 2 parties unite and work on mechanisms ones netanyahu announces his annexation plans abraham and ramallah thank you for that. the saudi led coalition has launched

a new wave of strikes against yemen's hutu rebels bombardment in the city of assad is believed to have killed at least 2 civilians and injured 4 others 5 other provinces were hit by strikes last week yemen's hooty rebels launched missile and armed drone attacks targeting the capital of saudi arabia. if you have been to istanbul there's a very good chance you'll be the scene or visited this most famous of landmarks the i used to fear it is these days a museum it has been since 935 but it was once the biggest christian cathedral in the world for nearly a 1000 years before it was turned into a mosque and that could be where its future lies to the turkish government wants to reopen it as a mosque a move that's adding to tensions with neighboring greece and the orthodox church turkey's top court is holding a hearing on the plan which the foreign minister cites as a matter of national sovereignty simcoe soon is there for us in istanbul hyson and what sort of process happens with the court now is there

a timeline. for the well actually if there is. a council. by the courts in turkey and today they care and gathered. 10 division of the state council gathered especially for. to discuss the whether to open fire so yes they have a decision but still we don't know where i am your idea. what it is mike fisher they have 15 days and now see this is in many expect that the state council is going to end now since the session before july 15th because prisons are gone. they x. if the court the sides that. the music should be open for prayers they expect to do the 1st for your own dr saying let's watch the details of the story in our every court. once a church later

a mosque and now a museum i also fear has always been precious and sacred for both christians and muslims built as a church in the 6th century sufi i was converted into a mosque after the conquering of what was constantinople in 4053 that turned into a museum by mostafa camel toucher following the foundation of the turkish republic in 1923. now the turkish government wants to alter its status from be assumed to mosque reopening go for sophia for ship means and look it's really the most traditional for respect on our site for the world which establishes in the woman's at the same time it's a token of gratitude and loyalty to the spiritual person i wish of fulton fathi the conqueror. i also feel i support of the unesco world heritage which forms

the stumbles famous skyline it's been a museum since 1935. there are many in church and turkey stays by a sufi as should be open to worship for both christians and muslims and your thoughts christian church is concerned that the transformation the film version over the years will we drove it was really bizarre paul medium's of the theaters around the wall and the u.s. will feel relieved you reads this is a vital. worth is is a member is the worst really thrive to these 2 war. president trajectory fire dan say is i also feel i can function like the nearby blue mosque open today the prayers and tourists at the same time became took part in turkey a muslim country we are free to worship anywhere we want no one has any say on it.

petitions were signed by the church to support the conversion but their opponents you do a lot of this is said a blow to our tourism i believe is not good for turkey marginal point is sophia to a mosque is a popular discussion in turkey and has support from the public along with the nationalist and conservative parties until last year president adams stayed out of the debate how ever he is very vocal about it now many believe it's a political move especially given the rising tension between turkey and greece in the eastern mediterranean after part of the court on about conquest was resigned to deny a sophia last month the greek foreign minister said it insult the religious feelings of christians the turkish government says i also feel is a domestic issue not to be interfered with al-jazeera a stumble with scott from london who is a senior associate fellow at russi the royal united services institute must have

you with us tell me about the timing of this happening now there are thousands of years of history involved with fear and now in 2020 a push a nationalist push perhaps to turn it back into a mosque. well the call to turn it back to moscow has been be tough for decades now in sixty's and seventy's eighty's ninety's it has always been part of this culture war between the more secular aspects or turkish history where is it more religious anquan so irrespective of turkish history and add on as well there's a report that rightly mentioned i stayed all around this by and large even though he comes from that islamist movement that actively calls for it since the ration white impact on him to be seen what will impact on terror his relations with the next thing countries and i don't himself this bush projects on the life of civilizations etc does not mean a good things for christian minorities but if you look at that they will look once particularly last 2 years when you even last 3 months he has been raising the temperature on culture war questions are on l g b

t q why rights are engaging in specific sensitivities always on course which are easy because they're struggling to find their narrative to appeal to news what is the economy is not doing well make up projects we're lucky not to be actualized because the economy's not doing well turkey from post the strength it's got it's gone down some successful operations in its stock in syria it's relations with europe and us is on the shaky ground this heat up to any recent move to quit attempt in july i'm q. said bullets to use political force if you're a sunni to block come by is what is for sure yeah i was just thinking about the fact that the act party did not do well in the most recent i mean a spell elections i think the mayor of istanbul that position was lost in the party as well so. a perfect opportunity if you like to try to win back support. in fact i mean if you look at the celebrations on the end it very serious and conquering will be stumbled it was ignored for decades and he's through with what

the last film received came back as a large trying to granting source account of this in fact even last year and now i do want to reveal as i'm writing i'm trying to put on how i got sofia to try and even doing the quote 19 crisis you have seen that contention between airborne unclear and the mayor of istanbul and all the opposition mayors who are launching their own social projects to help those who are in need of these bethany that's it for a new narrative that argument can put out in the lead up to the 100th anniversary of the turkish republic that isn't right who doesn't want to eat foreign minister zebari to interrupt i do want to get one more question into you turkey's foreign minister says it's a matter of national sovereignty but also says it's up for the turkish people to decide it's got to be about what they want i mean turkey is a big country it's got a lot of people and it's got very different political views depending on where you are in parts of the country i mean it's not a simple of saying just what the turkish people want i mean speaking legally speaking of course he's right i mean we know the court case is not really necessary

only proves maybe the initial decision to quote it to a mosque was not necessarily robust legally but the president argue i could just do this we did see the signal signatures it was kind of a political process but i didn't think anything cations would this for turkey and to examine its relations and also for its own christian minorities is huge and it is a call collation onkar on later are not the benefits auglaize the challenges that will come this turkey need more challenges that greece i'm at the moment not really but this is not about greece this is primarily about turkish domestic politics and culture wars and some hotly page their calculation is this works in their benefit it's a really interesting story and i'm glad we could talk to you about it. from racine london thank you. gunmen in mexico killed at least 24 people and injured 7 of those of a drug rehabilitation facility this is the 2nd such attack in the city. north of the capital the area's become one of the main flashpoints of gang related violence

and something that the president on that has been well opens up the door is often promised to stop since he was elected back in 28 team has this update from because they're. on wednesday mexican president and that is manuel lopez obrador to address the nation in a special speech commemorating the 1st 2 years since being elected mexico's president president lopez obrador it touted the successes of his administration in curbing back violence speaking to putting an end to a historical trend of homicides a success in ending massacres in mexico unfortunately as the president was giving that address there was word of 24 people who were killed and another 7 wounded in an attack by gunmen in the state of what i want to has really become the sort of epicenter for this epidemic of violence that's plaguing mexico the state has seen a 5 fold increase in homicides over the past year and according to statistics from this year alone there have been $1405.00 homicides through the month of may alone

so headlines that say a dozen killed or more are not uncommon for the state but there have also been other attacks in states like seen aloa a brazen attack here in mexico city that's put into doubt the mexican government's capacity to enforce the rule of law and of course this goes contrary to the claims of president over the border in saying that violence is being curbed in fact the year 2020 is scheduled to be the most violent in mexico's history. the united states has recorded nearly 51000 new corona virus infections the largest daily increase so far in the world's worst affected country california florida texas ole new hot spots causing some governors to reimpose emergency restrictions and opinion polls 81 percent of americans are very or somewhat concerned about the pandemic or forgetting a 128000 people have died in the u.s. with more than 2 and a half 1000000 infections there's also international anger at the u.s.

for a vial of rendez of your average treatment will come to $2340.00 a patient however each vial for the u.s. private health insurance system is $520.00 or an average cost of $3120.00 a patient it's not clear how much each patient will have to pay either out of pocket or higher premiums as with many drugs that are eventually sold for profit by pharmaceutical companies from this if it was initially developed with taxpayer money at least $60000000.00 but watchdog groups suspect government costs are far higher and the taxpayers are being charged twice for the drug 1st for its development and then for its purchase a report released this week found that pharmaceutical companies have raised the prices on $245.00 different drugs since the 1st case of covert 19 was reported in the u.s. in january and many of those drugs are used to treat covert 19 or used in intensive care units but some economists wonder whether amid covert 19 economic collapse mass

cold and cloudy across the northern areas if wimbledon was on we'd have showers interrupting the play it's not all heavier showers are actually into central parts of him further south that's fine and dry lots of warm sunshine across the mediterranean into good parts of france but look further north this mess of weather fronts here slow moving funder storms heavy outbreaks of rain at least it's a mobile situation i saw they are rattling through from west to east there we go going to those temperatures into the thirty's across scandinavia 21 celsius in oslo 20 celsius there in stockholm and i'll be 20 degrees in london we have got to hate it to central and eastern parts and we are still going up into the thirty's cared for $31.00 progress $36.00 athens around $34.00 that heat if anything just gets squeezed a little further east which is because through the next couple of days we will start see those temperatures recovering over towards the west we go with the showers there lots of showers across the british isles through the low countries

down across southern france into the out some pushing across into poland and into bellary some really heavy downpours sliding a little further south which in the east which as we go on into friday will see some heavy showers there into creation which is pushing across towards rumania and again sinking further race but a window through our weather does come back as we had our way into the end of the weekend and we started to warm up they give us more with everton in our next news out 1300 g.m.t. now still ahead in this show there were a military operation to fight covert 19 in brazil is there a risk or is for the country's indigenous communities. a gauge at the national gallery of astronomy or went on beaches conservation project is underway on one of its most significant works by jonathan harley and sport into milan. continues its push for champions league qualification and you can be here with that and the rest of the sports and let's. play.

what's going on. from the news hour here at al-jazeera and these are the top stories tensions still high in ethiopia 3 days after a popular singer and activist was murdered a child of india has been laid to rest following a funeral in his home town just west of alice up. rival palestinian groups hamas and fatah have said they will work together to fight against israel's an extension plans for parts of the occupied west bank as comments come a day after the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu was due to launch that annexation process and turkey's highest court has met to display to debate the

status of fear museum government's been pushing to convert the building back into a mosque to the ottoman conquest of istanbul that is also a christian. while england wrestles with new lockdown measures code 19 infection and death rates very low in both scotland and wales the pubs and restaurants set to reopen across england this weekend while says it's harsher restrictions will stay in place if they work aren't they has the story of the border between england and wales the bridge over the river 7 cross it's a move to a different country inside the united kingdom and it is genuinely striking how different rules seem to have led to different outcomes because while the infection and death rates in england are refusing to go away in wales there are now close to 0. we have to remember that. significantly disproportionately affects the area deadly and the mortality rate sadly in fact age group is higher therefore we

do all expect to see cases but i'd like to see we go down to see all cases ready some by the time the virus was at large in england wales had begun preparing the to meet a rule which is being dropped in england from this weekend remains in force here it's also been forbidden for months for anyone to travel more than 5 miles from home while london is full of traffic again this is the center of the welsh capital cardiff outside the government offices part of this clearly is about the rules another part acceptance of them and people's behavior in wales and indeed in scotland where the daily death rates is now effectively 0 people seem to be much more willing to abide by the lock down than they were in england. that was most visible in the recent heatwave which saw one police of all numbers of people descend on the south coast of england the beautiful beaches of south wales by contrast have seen very little of the kind selina runs

a company here which helps rent holiday cottage is the lockdown has almost destroyed her business but she still supports what the government has done she's more worried about english people coming over the summer and breaking the rules in wales ideally if they could put signs over the him fall you know roadworks ahead but remember we are 2 metres distancing as they drive in into wales anything like that i think to help the visitors understand that we are operating in a different law governments are being judged over their response boris johnson's is not being seen as being on top of things in wales you can hardly find anyone with a bad word to say about their 1st minister it's about messaging you know my message you will it is always about doing this carefully about doing it cautiously about taking one step at a time again never forgetting the coronaviruses here and could come back whereas the messaging across the border has sometimes been led by a sense to which historic say to people it is all over you can do what you like i

just don't think that messaging is sensible at all only next week will wales begin to allow english people to cross the border into their country and if things get worse in england it might not sustain and there's nothing boris johnson can do about it the virus is leading to reputations being made and being broken lawrence lee al jazeera in south wales india's 1st plasma donation bank has opened in delhi state and the worst affected state has started what it calls the world's largest plasma therapy trial to say treating infected patients with plasma from recovered patients could reduce the number of coronavirus deaths as a purana reports from new delhi. but what is the problem with him but the we're going back to base con is the 1st person in delhi to have donated his plasma after recovering from the corona virus and april as the number of infections continues to increase and dia he's planning to donate for a 5th time. don't it can make

a bad boy it feels really good to donate plasma i feel like i am saving the life of someone i have given plasma to that i'm helping a family returning happiness to their family. plasma therapy is tracing cover on a virus patient's around the world plausible from a former patient's blood a separated for a transfusion to an infected person plasma recovered patients contains antibodies which can fight the virus. trials to determine its effectiveness the continuing but doctors say the results so far are encouraging. for using oxygen and the state of the dog and actually blocking. it does. have so. it can force and. so by virtue of. the rigid existence. delhi's government has set up

a plasma donation center to make it easier for patients needing the therapy is not only indicative that the good. people people are struggling to find pause to those who have recovered i plead with you in life you get very few opportunities to save someone's life this is your opportunity coronavirus is connected to the deaths of around 800000 indians with more than 600000 factions as well as expanding testing and facilities the worst hit states of delhi and maharashtra a promotion plasma therapy. my pastor's government says it's conducting the world's largest plasma therapy trial in 17 of the state's medical colleges while the state government here in delhi is organizing transport for diners willing to come here to this hospital with far more recoveries than active infections in both states hope that indians who were once sick well now help patients in need elizabeth purana

enormous if there is to be done by they go down the river they go for a walk it depends on the area one might be closer to the city they go up the river and then infect others who weren't infected before there are various focal points. but many do not trust local authorities to survive in this one just like with society they're afraid it's an unknown virus for them for us too many prefer to isolate themselves not having any contact not even with health workers as a form of prevention so we see that they're afraid. members of the military have been conducting tests and providing supplies like alcohol and labs they're also using clora keane a drug used to treat malaria which precedent and donald trump have been recommending to tweak over 19 despite warnings by the u.s. food and drug administration indigenous leaders. using this drug is a mistake. i think it's crazy because there's no proof that clerking is the drug to
