voices heard on the international news channel one moment i'll be very proud all was when we covered the nepal earthquake of 2050 a terrible natural disaster and the story that needed to be told from the heart of the affected area to be then to tell the people story was very important at the time. at least 200 people were injured in violence between palestinian worshippers and israeli police in occupied east jerusalem. i'm above this and this is all to syria live from doha also coming up warnings of a major coronavirus crisis in nepal as across the border in india pressure grows on the prime minister to impose a nationwide lock to. the head of the ethiopian author talks church describes

ethiopia's actions in the team grey region as genocide in a video smuggled out of the country. out taiwan's worst drought in decades is destructing industries ranging from cars to video games. that are being violent scenes in occupied east jerusalem that is to $205.00 palestinians have been injured in clashes at the al aqsa mosque compound and elsewhere in the city victoria gave reports. on confrontation inside the compound as israeli police spieth stun grenades to disperse muslim when she paid. 20 people all of a huge for the police. nothing more she thought of the way to find them out because

of the book and i think you know what chipotle i think you do because i know you are you know not one. of them. was the police also use stun grenades inside a clinic treating in japan askin ians if he was. fired tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters police say they responded up to stones bottles and fireworks with right at that was. out could stay the same now it is jerusalem day goes on the last friday of the fasting month of ramadan the annual event is a protest against israel's rule of jerusalem not know how well are they suffer cuts there is an attempt not only to apply time division at al aqsa mosque but also to

divide a looks most physically should not be done we must work to prevent it in the vigilantes are defending the mosque on behalf of the arab nation and the islamic nation. earlier on friday thousands of listening was ship as it answered the call from the islamic black the trust that operate the compound under the authority of jordan to pray in and around. the compound is a constant point of contention in the palestinian israeli conflict but tensions in occupied east jerusalem have increased in recent weeks as palestinians have protested against israeli restrictions on access to parts of the city during ramadan and there's been a rest over an israeli court order to evict palestinian families in the shaikh ciaran neighborhood demonstrators tried to enter the neighborhood on friday as soldiers you sam bombs against the crowd and closed all entrances to the area the

united nations has warned the post evictions could amount to war crimes this is a particularly sensitive moment and it was it was predictable and especially when israeli forces are using such violent tactics. that you know that are disproportionate firey. russian grenades and rubber bullets. on our progress through. the u.s. says it's deeply concerned about the heightened tensions and cooled on all sides to want to deescalate them regional countries such as turkey capital have condemned friday's actions by israeli security forces as an attack on human rights victoria gate and be. ok for more now we can bring in brian katulis he's senior fellow at the center for american progress is joining us by skype from bethesda in maryland good to have you with us on all does it or understand the situation they are like

some lost at the moment is quiet but groups such as hamas the group that's in control of gaza are threatening retaliation how do you see this escalating i think it could very well potentially escalate not just in jerusalem but across israel and palestine as well and i worry about a planned march by a number of israelis to go through some very contested areas in sensitive areas of jerusalem but over the next couple of days so all of this comes at a time when tensions are very very high and i think extremists and i'm both sides will try to seek to gain advantage of this and that could undermine the stability not only in jerusalem but more broadly across the region by but promising a reaction how much do you think that those on groups like hamas and others are essentially playing into the hands of far right politicians in israel for example

as you say could give people on both sides an excuse to ramp up on the already tense situation. well that's the problem that's been in demick for a long time which is extremist voices actually not listening to those who are in the in the middle who if you look at what was happening some peaceful protests about the evictions and shift your are and other parts of east jerusalem people using peaceful means to try to lift their voice up and then lift their voice up through social media and the problem that is that those voices are then drowned out by more stream ist voices that seek to use violence in other confrontational means that then lead to a spiral into the situation that is does no good for the common good for everybody who wants peace and security interest is there any way that you can see of deescalating this current situation. i think if there was more condemnation coming

from both the israeli and palestinian leaders of those groups those extremist voices that seek to 'd gain advantage and gain political advantage and lift their voice 'd up if you had kind of nation from the israeli leadership and palestinian authority leaders. rather than those who seek to stoke the flames that would be a good thing but i really worry about what will happen in the next 36 to 48 hours and jerusalem i want to talk to you about the level of international pressure that could or should be brought i was talking to a previous guest khalid al hindi of the middle east institute he says that he thinks is going to take a serious loss of life before foreign governments actually finally decide that they're going to have to get involved and do something how do you think this is going to play out particularly in the u.s. with the biden administration. well i'm afraid to tell it may be right and i hope he's not right but i'm afraid that that's the case. here in the united states you

have a bite and administration that has not prioritize the israeli postilion issue at all in its foreign policy priorities it's really put it on the. back burner. and unless you have massive escalation that unfortunately the deaths i think you're going to lead you see nothing little more than just tepid statements of the sort that we've seen already so and that's unfortunate but i think more engagement preventative sort of diplomacy that tries to seek to deescalate would be would be the important thing to do but i don't necessarily see that happening and that's where i agree with my friend salad i think he's right unfortunately we're not going to see much action by america or the or europe unless things get worse and what we see right now is a very pessimistic scenario brancato this is from the center for american progress

actually they do not this is just to remind them that the hunger village crystal's is a form that you feel being foreign minister and he's also a member of the people's liberation front is joining us live from washington fire skype's good to have you with us on disease or thanks very much indeed how much weight does a statement like this have coming from the head of ethiopia's orthodox church. indeed it hires human traits because the only miss my guess is likely to. be that it is just this within a school that he and i did this. and if. we have the 2nd starting from the 9th the city is where we fund and you have a duty to them if the. heat of the end of the earth and state innings i foresee in this and in our game when that is genocide.

there's more recycling in the short term it's not a big problem but it is an uncertainty in the coming quarter. and it's an uncertainty that adds to a global shortage of microchips as companies in taiwan and here in south korea have tried to increase production to meet the demands of changing lifestyles caused by the pandemic and that's led to hold up in tech hungry industries like car manufacturing back in taiwan president citing when has called for greater efforts to source and conserve water while visiting the hardest hit central part of the island where high tech industries compete with local communities for dwindling supplies that. we will try our best to keep people's lives from being to steps to much and at the same time to choose the impact on thai chung's industries. but farmers have also come up with their own solution as they look ahead to what should
