cme office israel's rocky caves of 19 vaccination program has seen more than 50 percent of the population fully vaccinated. police say they've arrested 2 people for disrupting offices efforts to keep order at the site and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has described the stampede as a heavy disaster. sort of hideouts al jazeera. arafa said has this update from israel where it's still unclear what caused the disaster. well still the reports are relatively unclear there is no question though that there was an enormous number of people at this very significant religious event last year it was severely curtailed because of coded 1000 restriction so this time there were more than 100000 people there by most estimates some suggesting it was even a greatly higher number than that and certainly the videos bear that out you see people gathered at this new site close to the tomb of a 2nd century rabbi

a religious figure revered figure whose death is marked every year in this large bowmore festival and so these crowds were swaying together dancing together jumping up and down there were images of people falling into each other as they were channeled through very narrow areas so the precise cause is still to some extent under question there were early reports of a structure collapsing but most reports now suggest in fact it may have been to do with an exit being barred and a stampede and crushing happen happening as a result of that certainly this is a major disaster that one that the prime minister has called a terrible disaster the other senior israeli politicians saying similar things so this is a major national event during the course of the most highly attended religious

a real under occupation what can we do if it were up to us we would love to have elections. it's really bad as a young 21 year old palestinian i've never felt that i had freedom to voice my opinion or be involved in the political system. a record number of 36 electoral lists have signed up for the elections well some say it shows how eager tell us in ian's our 1st change others say it threatens a bass's authority senior leaders have split from fatah means slate and plan to run separately. some of the candidates who reject the delay have taken to the streets of ramallah to protest the bass's decision polls suggest that the majority of palestinians think it's important to have elections and be. people here think that the president is using jerusalem as an excuse to delay holding them up both as the factions would work towards forming a national unity government but that might not be enough to quell the anger in the

can stand a very authoritarian state and then you have also the border guards in kyrgyzstan increasingly coming to blows received some video of on of arms being distributed to the population so we have some really worrying signs that the negotiation process that's completely broken down there's a lot of hot rhetoric going going back and forth this is one of the last undefined frontiers in the post soviet region in central asia when you look at this part of the map this is the they're gonna valley where it was back in stented you can stand in kyrgyzstan all sort of tailor around one another it's a very complicated ethnic patchworks of course you know you can't place blame on the fact that there are no clear geographic markers between the borders between the the kirghiz and the tajik side so that that's just sort of geographic confusion you could say there's also tend to be upstream on the water on the rivers and have better access typically to water have downstream access to bet less or access to water and these are fundamental rights but you know in addition to those things you

have to periphery southern kyrgyzstan and northern to stand there are just about as far as you can possibly get away from the capital cities of each of those countries and i think the residents of those areas those border communities are in economically depressed regions and they do not feel heard or respected very much by the central capitals. still ahead on al-jazeera as joe biden marks 100 days as u.s. president will have a progress report on one of his key foreign policy goals and up again refugees in the greek island of lesbos are forced to leave the home they've known for almost 2 years. it's time for the perfect gentlemen. sponsored point at ways hello there we're dealing with an unusual disturbance over the middle east i'll talk about why it's unusual in a sec but 1st let's look at the impact that it's had this is toward mecca after

severe thunderstorms rolled through on tuesday some hail here and flooding just because of all that rain it had to go somewhere and it did and it's unusual here is why it's unusual because we've got the rain for yemen not just in the mountains but this is also falling over lower ground as well so that rain will continue for yemen as we head toward saturday spells of what weather for areas of iran particularly toward the south and also unsettled for northern afghanistan still getting some pulses of moisture as we head toward tanzania some pretty good downpours to throw at the democratic republic of congo i want to take you further south because watch this push of moisture for the eastern cape we're really going to have to check for the potential of flooding over the next few days this system is also going to drop the 1st snow of the season for the suit to a vengefully making its way to johannesburg so i show you the 3 day forecast there

a drivin rally to mark his 100th day in office reflecting on his address to congress the day before he tells it what is it a ministration has achieved so far and he also echoed his promises to invest trillions in jobs infrastructure and education it's only been $100.00 days but i have to tell you i've never been more optimistic about the future of america and america is on the move again we're choosing hope over fair truth over lies light over darkness paperwork where work 2 again we're dreaming again we're discovered again and we're leading the world again and you're proving democracy could deliver for the people here but at his own who has more from washington d.c. . well he's got to sell his vision of america to the american people and that's essentially what he started to do this evening with this rally in duluth georgia just wrapped up his rally there in the last half hour or so biden really just

repeated a lot of the same things that he said in his address to congress 24 hours ago but just a bit of a shorter version of it but he was essentially trying to sell his vision of america to the american people and that's why he went to the state of georgia make no mistake that was not by coincidence the state of georgia was critical in this last election because as you might recall it was 2 senate runoff races in georgia that were both won by the democrats that essentially gave control of the senate to the democratic party divided senate 5050 but democrats essentially control it because a come a harris vice president is the tie breaking vote so this is what he was trying to do he's got a big vision for america that he laid out to congress the night before and now he was out there basically trying to tell the american people and specifically people in georgia get behind this plan push your senators push your congress people to

cocom told the new u.s. administration has not done anything serious so far the new administration speaks of diplomacy in words but in practice the same sanctions and pressure of the previous administration still continues the lifting of sanctions and return of the u.s. to the j.c. feel way requires only a serious will but does that statement signal an intent from the iranians that the u.s. needs to do more to convince them president biden made a lot of promises during his election campaign but he has not kept those promises he called sanctions counterproductive he he admitted that trumpeting the station's maximum pressure campaign had failed but he continues to to follow dissaving policies in practice iran has already announced it is enriching uranium up to 60 percent its highest level ever at its natanz plant that the

iranians say was attacked by israel earlier this month 90 percent is weapons grade we do not support and do not think it's at all helpful but iran is saying is can move ridge to 60 percent it is contrary to agreement we are though nonetheless. please around as we continue do agree to engage in discussions. during a 3rd round of talks in vienna this week with the remaining signatories of the nuclear agreement iran will want to see meaningful movement on the issue of sanctions relief well others will want to see concrete steps by iran to limit its nuclear ambitions getting to an agreement however will not come overnight but whether it comes within the next 100 days of biden's presidency is seemingly not assured either iran does or the kremlin's most high profile critical vonnie has lost an appeal against a conviction for defaming
