off to police killed 24 people in a deadly raid on a rio de janeiro. and china dismisses concerns that deadly from want to its rockets could crash on to populated areas of us. have been violent scenes in occupied east jerusalem at least 263 palestinians and 6 but offices have been injured in clashes between palestinian wash up as an israeli police at the mosque compound and elsewhere in the city tens of thousands of muslim washed up as attack the site for the last friday prayers of the holy month of ramadan but many stayed on to protest over a threat to evict palestinian families from their homes on land claimed by jewish settlers chazz rocks and shoes were thrown at security. says who responded with

stun grenades and rubber bullets would not know how lucifer cuts. is an attempt to avoid a physically we should not. prevent it. if you learn to use artificially the looks a lot of the heart of the arab nation. love also been clashes elsewhere in occupied east jerusalem as protests continue over those plans to evict palestinian families from their homes demonstrators again try to enter the chef jaron neighborhood soldiers used sound bombs against the crowd and closed all entrances to the area the united states has said that it's deeply concerned about heightened tensions and called on all sides to deescalate what's happening right so let's speak now to watch is on the phone who is inside the loss can you can you start by telling us what you're seeing right now what's happening there

i'll try. not sure if you can hear me. but we're just trying to you know yes hi 1 i can hear you ok so. please yeah i was just asking you what is happening around you inside that the mosque the compound or perhaps you should just confirm where you are right now here before you would you go along with the pope would. explain my ego and really look you got you are you you are not clashes between police even brought up only your clothes or bears repeating. soul. told to brutal attack but it's illogical to think for them look they join the police have absolutely nothing to do all this for them of what could help me think that almost by the end of the 3rd is going to have to endure

a bone of greater good thoughts you know some of those people are after all 20 people all of a huge force of police attacked most of all she thought of what inspired them all even now with her goal to give a little it's not all look also as though all these guys all young and old her maybe you still think back to women doing stuff you wouldn't even touch people because you didn't have the thought to start eating to start they can go off to just do their own 15 hours so it was not flashy you know those were told the clause the book and i fact in the world chipotle simply because you've produced 2 not one all such person it's all the luck some of the fault all of the nerves and keen to control thoughts of all of. the thermal noise of the australian support for fossil fuels the lead including variable who can i give you and changes over do you mind if i ask you mr team because the latest figures these are that i think figures

we have right now 163 palestinians 6 police offices have been injured you say that they entered the mosque before people had a chance to break that ramadan fast and of course this is the last friday of ramadan a very important significant day of course friday prayers always important but that would have been how many people with that thousands many thousands of people would have gathered to say that pres. indeed i mean that there were thousands of people gather inside the mosque and they have you know many of them as do all children oftentimes go you know if you have more news so they can break their fast and then told us that a prayer towards a. puppet is that they didn't even have the time to do that all were going to fund and they were attacked by those only for we all know that you will by the way this is nothing new i mean physical reality here in jerusalem been gaining a lot from all most people on here as well the sister of 2 still breaking for the

loss of all the provos of a muslim or 2 thirds or even when you know when you when you were there was a very tough building that says jim hill well they're all basically thought they were not you know. perfectly from a good sense and they are being attacked because they come from all across countries only please them there's only one few people as possible. and can you tell me who was inside the mosque you mentioned family and so on assuming the young and all that i mean with that many and that many young people that. you know i mean you know when they come to them oh oh look them come to work so they're not only recently bored so the young ones and there are actually a lot of. that figure that you have bill clinton the ongoing 60 do you think children if you think young people oh you know is the fun of them delivering down with only the news of. the green is. enough.

but there's a lot of. there's a huge difference those are actually what you're seeing the story all make and bullets but the outcome of the drama they can carry it through can actually begin a lot of people thought wouldn't you know the. shot that i was the head was there all of the things that the variable but it's still. definitely there this boy out indiscriminately. the idea was it was. going to ask people like their bodies all the don't just season because they're going to actually get to enjoy it and still get over inside the whole thing though they would not come back to a lot of trouble if there's nothing that would explain why there are more than a 1000 currently surrounding a way on william said to go i will look for most of all gathered in the low

visibility is good because then i can honestly when police entered the area how did people react because i mean i i suppose on a day like today there isn't much space in the mosque everyone is praying very closely together side by side and not much of a chance to easily move from one part of the compound to another how did how did people react. yes one of us just to put you into the picture of the night to lock them up i'm not defending someone in the building because i love some of these a lot component of what our own 154 doing them and if they don't have to make money then things inside the dome of the rock and then the little cookie and you know is that. they think the way the majority of people pay was told by all means and methods you know who are also people who does that i'm afraid because of the chemo

so i mean i'm not going to moan so what happens is that when you know the. price is all those other well you know people take it like you have talked the whole story because they have i mean it looked like talk to you to read but folks here already tried people's house so that they would not come back so imagine being you know most of them almost fuzziness i hope that you have never experienced the fun doing it because it doesn't bother you if you you know i can't even find the word to describe it it's kinda like terrified when you when you know if i'm going to explode you know what when you are can they go actually touches your body and then explode so people you know certain from you know directions. to any party and then you know one of the sudden you don't prevail dealing with those. and that's why you know 3. does then you know this child to go their own to get in because there were

things julie had a poem very most perfectly honest folks of course echo both worship reagan president must. you know that being attacked again and again to focus much different wrongs don't have anything and then discuss and gathering up with such as and that those are the only things you write on currency are you talking to you walk around with the things are going to go well you can sense that all the euro area. there are some of them on with. so i almost bought a little one chipotle out of. you know a thought in the local market if you believe you because they want to you'll kill all of it's actually regulated because a lot of basically the most whole you know like oh probably was. mentioning these extremists really but george the movie is called kill because. the law calls. all from of the students from the so you know the mob because that is our most of.

all being. old all fall took a little being who told they had basically cut out from that it because of all of the zulus. still chilly today may have been looking for lucky critters doing look. at the own dog you know the thought of bubbles a lot and there's no one. of them look because those are a lot who should be allowed at the console of it but you know this whole struggle for 12 years ago was that this was. a protein but i. thank you very much for joining us bill itself right. now correspondent abraham is in ramallah in the occupied west bank and i'm sure you are listening to what we're hearing there from. a teen who is an eyewitness to developments inside the al aqsa mosque today just describing people gathering there

to present and then at least storming the compound before they had a chance to break their ramadan fast is there a feeling that this could add to the sense of tension and frustration and probably for the protests of the next few days. just an example of how many palestinians goes through the list was speaking very passionately witnessed i'm sure more than one incident like this. the jewish and jews and that's already been volatile since the beginning of the month and. israeli police has picked up barricades near damascus one of the entrances to the eventually to all the compound and the palestinians said that this is a way to kind of push them away from the space which is very meaningful for them to really go and sit there after their prayers during the month but they protested and

they managed to pressure the israelis to put out and take away and put everything kates and also the situation has been intensified by what's going on in the judge off with the families are facing imminent. now. action plans are attempts to back the palestinians from their lands have been all knowing since the 1990 s. now it seems like these 14 are we saying this imminent addiction and this is also another factor that meet palestinians more stressed and more. excuse me. more prone to being angry about what's going on is true some remember the lives of palestinians and streams and are not easy to manage and this is an understatement they live under so many. rules that our chamber it is

really rather than indigenous people of the city and this is why the human rights watch has talked about this in a recent trip for being an apartheid state and also where we are seeing more and more dr doing is really settlers who are. taking a carriage to nan's of more boasting that they are. a country which and we are expecting as mark mentioned on monday that jerusalem day march which palestinian she is very provocative and it coincides with that the orleans night of ramadan where many go to a 3 so we are expecting. still ation specifically that also. in gaza has said that it's not going to stay silent she had said that the israelis should be expecting a response and president called upon the likes of nations to hold an urgent.

and to my protection to the past it's all right for now thank you not to abandon ramallah one of the stories now in the chinese coven 1000 vaccine made by sign off on this become the 6th to receive the wild health organization stamp of approval from the agency this means it can now be added to the u.n. back kovacs scheme which distributes chrono virus vaccines to some of the wilds poorest nations this afternoon. the bluto gave emergency use listing to sign off on beijing's 19 vaccine. making the 6 vaccine to receive the validation for safety if you can see and quality this expands the list of vaccines that kovach come by and gives countries confidence to expedite their own regulatory approval and to

perhaps he would have been alive all those who the father couldn't find medical care he was tested for 19 a test opposite the village haven't been able to get what they call billable. you know people are getting a free will for a few days and suddenly they are dying almost every home has a member who's here over testing is happening people are aware of the disease but don't have the means to get themselves tested to do it best they need to travel far and that isn't happening when people are dying without a test there's no desert if you go. and i'm a short saying who also lives in a village says that's how his 80 year old mother of a pea died. she had fever 2 days earlier and when she heard that my brother had passed away in an accident she fell further the fever became worse we couldn't take

where most cases and death are under reported the possible contesting elizabeth al-jazeera new delhi. we go now to brazil where a supreme court justice has called for the top prosecutor to investigate one of rio de janeiro's deadliest police rights. the. demonstrators took to the streets of rio also demanding an investigation into thursday's raid on the car as in your neighborhood the operation led to the deaths of 25 people one of them a police officer the deadly raid has drawn condemnation from the united nations as well as human rights groups and local activists. but as you today we are doing in brazil for 3 reasons lack of vaccines then covert and also from hunger on top of that black people dying in mass because the police. the former president of the maldives is in a critical condition after being injured in a bomb attack outside his home and doctors are saying that mohamed nasheed who's

size of this seat electoral realignment the conservatives ended up with twice as many votes as labor in a former industrial constituency that has been red for generations i mean credibly proud of the campaign my team and i have run in harlech poll. based on local issues of real concern to the community here and i would like to thank all of the people of this great town who've responded so positively to it i'm also immensely proud to be the 1st conservative m.p. in harley pulls the 57 is an inflatable boris johnson sprung up overnight anticipating the win with a victory in the bag on friday afternoon hard to pull out of the real thing this is a place that voted. breaks it. we got breaks it done and they were able to do other things thanks to that johnson is enjoying a bumper poll boost would be in working class pro breakfast areas like heart the pool that never used to vote for his party the u.k.

to fix that but a fix would be easy it is something that is difficult but i don't think it's impossible and i think it's by thinking carefully about which voters might be within reach for the party and how to reconnect with those rather than trying to win over everybody and when some some of those photographs maybe have moved too far away from the party now the results of the country's many other local elections for councils mayors and assemblies will come in over the next few days that picture isn't yet as clear cut as hard to pull but so far it's looking strong for the conservatives to rory chalons al-jazeera hard people in north east england now china says deadly from its latest rocket launch is highly unlikely to cause any harm even though no one actually knows where or when it will land remains of the long march 5 b. rockets have been cited above the us and what the country space command is calling
