from around the world it isn't the 1st time that the new guinea network was forced off the air in 1972 it was also shot down. hello i'm barbara sara this is the al-jazeera news hour live from london thank you for joining us coming up in the next 60 minutes accusations and denials conflicting reports of a confrontation on the israel lebanon border. threats of a return to tough restrictions if spain cannot reverse its coronavirus spike driver is stopped and questioned but zimbabwe's leaders deny claims the lockdown is to

prevent anti-government protests and on nearing a civil rights leader john lewis lies in state in the u.s. capital. and in sport cats are has officially expressed an interest in staging a future olympic games the 2022 world cup hosts hope to bring the olympics to the middle east for the 1st time. we begin the news hour in israel where prime minister benjamin netanyahu has warned it is quote playing with fire he's accuse the lebanese armed group of launching an infiltration attempt in the border region of shane bauer farms has denies its fighters tried to penetrate the border or engaged in any confrontation the united nations is urging both sides to show restraint harry full set has more.

smoke plumes over southern lebanon after what the israeli military referred to as a security incident it said a cell of hezbollah fighters trying to infiltrate israeli controlled territory israeli soldiers tracked them and repelled them with machine gun tank and artillery fire in tel aviv where they'd rushed for security assessments israel's julian prime minister and defense minister put on a rare show of unity gone. a cell of hezbollah terrorists crossed into israel in an attempt to harm israeli soldiers i.d.f. soldiers and officers acted professionally and accurately and prevented a severe incident that could have cost human lives israel's prime minister made an explicit reference to the war of 2006 in warning hezbollah's leader hassan nasrallah that israel's armed forces stood ready to respond further because one of the usual guards hizbollah must understand that it is playing with fire it made a big mistake when it assessed israel's its own nation to defend itself and lebanon

paid a price any attack against us will be met with great force i urge him not to repeat this mistake and we do not live a normal. israel has been on heightened alert since an airstrike last week in syria attributed to israel killed a hezbollah fighter there has been has vowed to avenge any such deaths. in southern lebanon the aftermath of the israeli artillery barrage hezbollah denied having carried out any operation saying israelis fired into lebanon out of confusion and panic but its statement was read out on the hezbollah affiliated elman our t.v. then who allowed it was all one sided and it was by an enemy that is afraid terrified and worried our response to the martyrdom of our brother kamil most in who died in the zionist attack in the damascus airport region is definitely coming and design ists should be waiting for the punishment of their crimes last year a similar set of circumstances led to a hezbollah attack on an israeli military post and

a limited israeli response it was over within hours both sides seemingly keen to avoid an escalation that motivation has only intensified since with a surging pandemic in israel and an economic crisis in lebanon but for now at least hezbollah is saying that this round isn't over are a force that al-jazeera wester islam. said no harder is on lebanon's border with israel she says hezbollah is blaming the israeli army for the incident but there is a cautious calm on the border for now. the lebanese armed group hezbollah has denied that it carried out any operation it is saying the incident was one sided and it is blaming what it calls an israeli an anxious israeli army so a very different narrative from what the israeli army is reporting they are saying that a group of hezbollah fighters tried to infiltrate the shebaa farms it's very hard for us to independently confirm what happened but a lebanese security source did tell us at the time that some incident some kind of incident happened whether it was an attack or an attempt to infiltrate the

recognizance mission that that source could not confirm now cautious calm prevails along the border israeli planes continue to fly over lebanese airspace you can hear israeli drones in the skies the tensions have deescalated but definitely. you know what the tense atmosphere along this border is likely to continue and hezbollah knows that if it if it sparks an all out war with israel it will cause a domestic domestic backlash it will be blamed for dragging lebanon into war at a time that the politicians have really run the economy into the into the ground and and hezbollah and along with its allies now hold political power they control the government they control the parliament so right now it's that it's not in their interest really to see an all out confrontation but there is no doubt this border remains volatile especially since israel has to continue to keep up the pressure on

iran and groups that iran backs like hezbollah particularly in neighboring syria. spain is fighting to save its tourism industry after a surge of new cases and the introduction of new travel rules in the u.k. authorities in the catalonia region are considering stronger measures to stop the spread more than a 1000 new infections reported in barcelona in one day but the header has more. spain's sunny beaches mask a worsening health crisis infection rates have soared in recent days with more than a 1000 new cases a day. 80 percent of those cases are here in the regional capital buffalo no it's feared the cd is now the epicenter of a 2nd wave of corona virus based on this being a sharp rise in cases among people who have been gathering in larger numbers the regional leader urged them to stop partying or risk another total lockdown. if we

behind this is further to the north and you can see here just the damage this rain these floodwaters have done for that particular area roads through chooses a much improving picture that also a shot of the east of hungary across into romania and quite a few showers working their way crashing through the baltics into the far west of russia that system impacting you come monday that will head across the north sea beginning to push those strong winds in the rain across into southern as a scandinavian it'll reach the sunday by wednesday but the next system heading in from the lancet does tend to get blocked there's a little ridge of high pressure building so that means conditions will say fine and drive it quite a line of rain showers working the way through ukraine again the baltics and pushing into western areas of russia the rain could be quite heavy at times in the day so that ridge of high pressure doing its job quite well we've got some nice sunshine in london by thursday and friday look at these temperatures up to 28 degrees celsius and of course all the while across the south it's nice and sunny and very warm in rome wednesday.

from. a career reporting to the won't ruin it here one journalist documents life beyond the headlines. but certain stories can change us in the easiest cleaves use to it when you know you need. to change anyone a unique journey into what it means to be human the things we keep a witness documentary on al-jazeera his country's begin easing coronavirus restrictions scientists warn of a 2nd wave of infections in the last few days ago after the fall of the neighborhood and many feel the economy is being prioritized about for human life until fall of people getting the focus on the outfield what spike in public like to face as we bring you the latest developments from across the globe coronavirus

condiment special coverage on al-jazeera. the earth. welcome back is a reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu is playing with fire he's accuse the lebanese armed group of launching an infiltration attempt in the border region of farms as bala denies the claims the casket of civil rights pioneer and longtime u.s. for presented to john lewis is lying in state after a procession through washington d.c. the congressman died this month aged 80. and spain is fighting to

save its tourism industry as new corner virus cases catalonia authorities are considering a return it to strict that law that will make sure is. staying with the story the world health organization is warning that imposing bans on international travel do tick over $1000.00 is unsustainable and that governments should be doing more to reduce the spread of the virus within their own borders the emergency programs the rector's comments follow a surge in spanish cases as we've just heard that led to a new u.k. quarantine order for all returning travelers from spring. the ritual is always of those that travel measures should be used in conjunction with other measures to buy themselves trouble trouble measures are not effective in dealing with dealing with the movement of disease in the same way that hand washing alone a mask wearing alone or any of the public health interventions alone does not is

not effective it is going to be almost impossible for for individual countries to keep their border shut for the forseeable future economies have to open or people have to work trade has to resume well for more on this we can speak to sharon livingston managing editor of the online portal the travel magazine she joins us now via skype thank you so much for joining us here on out as they are so do you agree with the world health organization that a lot of these travel bans a little bit like what the u.k. is impose the u.k. has imposed a travel ban but a quarantine or a welcome back from spain that measures like that are unsustainable the. the idea that this could be sustainable in definitely if quite shocking because we as a global world rely only on travel very very much i mean. it's that it costs around $1.00 trillion dollars globally already

and if it continues like this for another couple months it will grow to over 2 trillion and that's one of money in that 2.8 percent of g.d.p. it's not conceivable that we could do this and still maintain a world that when jobs are consistent because tourism has white into coles it goes from not just the airlines in the hotels but all the people that service those industries and beyond that so when you bring people to sit here in town all the shops around will also benefit from that so again tell you forgive me for interrupting you but obviously a lot of industries have suffered because of the lock downs a harsher less harsh that we've seen in almost all countries affected by cove in 19 and the whole point is to reopen in a stable safeways so if the price the pay is

a quarantine from some countries that are seeing spikes isn't that fair enough because if you do it slowly then hopefully we can all return to normality eventually. yes that is correct and as we've seen here in the k. we hurt now from a bridges between certain countries which made us feel that we could travel across and everything would be fine however as we've seen just a few days later we now have quarantine again from spain to the a which was lifted just recently so these spikes will happen so travel back and do go a long way to stopping the virus however that has to be it has to be done in conjunction with many other things as well as a lot like what what do you think would be a safe way to get travel or tourism law on its feet again ok

i don't know that in the immediate future it will be if there really are safe way of doing it it's an unknown the whole of the covert 19 is unknown we don't know when a vaccine will be around we don't know if i have it you can get it again there are too many unknown all we can do is be diligent in the things that we are doing and we are wearing masks i mean a lot of countries now are saying you have to wear a mask we are being taught about hygiene and all these things are very important and respecting each other with social distancing even if you know you go viral you're speaking to us from london obviously was the u.k. that has imposed the scranton on spain and british travel is very important very big and it's very important to the spanish tourism industry so what advice are you giving your reader as the readers of the travel magazine when it comes to traveling in the next few weeks the summer holidays. ok it's really hard to give advice it

all depends on how risk averse you are because these things change on a daily basis i know that i come from a country where the population is intrepid we love to travel as people do around the world so it's hard to say to people don't travel however we may want to consider how much of a daredevil we are if we do travel we may have to then have an attitude towards towards whether or not we need to quarantine on the way back whether or not some spike could happen so we couldn't travel it so now we have to put these back to thin we are getting there is a world in sorting out of it and what exactly it is and we may get there very very soon but for now we do have to consider what it means when we travel and i know that people have traveled and come back and everything was great but it could

change at any moment and all we have to do is back to this into our thinking when we take a trip there back to a potentially also losing quite a lot of money if they can't get the money back for the holidays sharon livingston managing editor of the online portal the travel magazine madame thank you for sharing your views with us. philippine president or they go to the has the liver of his face a state of the nation address with a special focus on the government's response to the coronavirus pandemic but critics say the president's speech may not reflect reality jamila then reports now from manila. the president of. the philippine president's state of the nation speech is and will report card and the way to bring his government closer to the public but this year's session is different the coronavirus pandemic has forced through the good it or does the administration to limit those allowed to get close to him or deter to spoke of the achievements of his government over the last few

years but admits there are areas where he feels powerless so he's claiming. we claiming it unless we are prepared to go to war i would suggest. and 3 said we'll be diplomatic. and we have to go to war but i cannot afford it maybe some of the president. you know. the turtle also spoke about the economy and the benefits of improving the agricultural industry but he kept going back to the issue of security but he porn's his drug war is not over. outside the halls of congress protesters say they remain defiant against his government. police warn anyone raising placards in the streets will face arrest so hundreds of activists held

president did their day before he steps down from office in 2022 but for those who take to the streets they say hardly any claims of progress he made are jew that is because millions more filipinos are not jobless hungry and desperate and that they say is the true state of the nation in dog and al-jazeera manila. dozens of suspects have appeared in a south african court accused of killing 5 people during an attack on a church more than $200.00 members of the church just west of johannesburg where hold held hostage for several hours this month the standoff prayer being motivated by a feud between church members the court hearing in the town of west an area had been the labor because of the pandemic. i mean miller is following the case in western aria and has more now on the potential motive for the attack there's been very little progress in hearing the 43 bail applications related to the violence at

a point with least 5 people were killed some of them in a call that was city lights on the day now the church has said that it is trying to mend these strained relations a mediators trying to bring together all 4 sides so far we know only 3 of the factions are participated but they've said they're trying to pull the unity and try to sort these tensions out but at the end of the day it's left at least $43.00 people in courts facing serious charges and also raised questions around the operations within the church. at least 26 for hanjour refugees feared to drown and while trying to swim to malaysia have actually been found alive coast guard officials say they were hiding in the bushes on a small island they're being held in detention because malaysia does not recognize the status of refugees florence though he has the story. malaysian coast
