all of a huge for the police. nothing more supportive. it was the only worship out of i think you because now you know not one. of them. police all say use stun grenades inside a clinic treating in japan. he was. fired tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters police say they responded up to stones bottles and fireworks with thrown at them was. 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 the how well are they so there is

an attempt not only to apply time division that alex a mosque but also to divide a looks most physically should not be done we must work to prevent it and the vigilantes are defending the mosque on behalf of the arab nation and the islamic nation. and here on friday thousands of muslim was schippers it answered the call from the islamic black the trust they don't break the compound under the authority of jordan to pray in and around al aksa. 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. unarmed protesters don't want to blow off the u.s. says it's deeply concerned about the heightened tensions and called on all sides to what to deescalate them we general countries such as turkey capital have condemned friday's actions by israeli security forces as an attack on human rights victoria gate and the al-jazeera. going to do list is a senior fellow at the center for american progress he says there's a risk of further escalation on both sides 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 evictions and shift your are and other parts of easter islam 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 extremist voices that seek to use violence and other confrontational means that then lead to a spiral into a situation that ends does no good for the common good for everybody who wants peace and security in jerusalem if there was more condemnation coming from both israeli and palestinian leaders of those groups those extremist voices that seek to 'd gain advantage and in political advantage to lift their voice 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 you respond. several states in india now going into lockdown as officials try to bring the krona virus outbreak under control india is the 3rd country after the u.s. and brazil to record more than $4000.00 said a day and it's just recorded another 400000 infections experts say the actual numbers are much higher let's get more on this from bob in new delhi our correspondent and despite the vaccine rollout the numbers are not looking good are they not at all if you see the 400000 mark in fresh cases was braced for the 3rd straight day in

a row and friday was also the deadliest day of during the pandemic for india and nearly 4200 people succumbed to the virus on friday alone and as we've been reporting the numbers are considered to be highly. conservative and under reported as the call for a national lockdown frost's states are imposing their own lockdowns individually and we've seen a number of them do it this week this morning we saw some a lot of this in the southern state which is one of the hard hardest hit states in the country impose a 2 week lockdown starting may 10th when only essential activities are going to be allowed over the last 24 hours we saw similar strict lock downs in karnataka and go on being announced and of course seems to be much anxiety about the figures whether they are recorded in the urban areas or the rule areas because now word is coming out that the rural areas are being hard hit as well.

yes the reporting if you look at it is seems to me under reported uniformly because tests are hard to access in most parts of the country but the picture is really really dire in for india especially if you're compare the caseload this time around russ's the case node oh during the 1st wave which was in september last year so this time the death toll and the caseload is 4 times higher that was the last time really putting a lot of strain on the system that is already spread by i mean we've been reporting on how deadly and the city of bengal nuru are really struggling to you know with medical facilities so we can only imagine what's happening in rural india where villages only have you know primary health care facilities at best barely any ventilators probably without the new delhi for a surtax very much for the update of course teach ecu with you through the day the

world health organization has approved the chinese made sign a farm job for emergency use is the 6th bank seen to get the agency's stamp of approval it cannot be added to the un backed kovacs scheme which distributes current virus vaccines to low and middle income countries health experts say adding chinese jobs to the list could be a game changer with poor nations desperate ok with 19 jobs now the number of recorded infections in brazil since the start of the pandemic has topped 15000000 the world's 2nd highest death toll almost 79000 cases were reported in the past 24 hours brazil's top court approved a criminal investigation last week into present dr allstars much criticized response to the pandemic inquiry could lead to his impeachment. families in peru are being forced to consider burying their loved ones at home and cemeteries are being overrun by a surge incredible stats april has been the country's deadliest month since the

beginning of the pandemic with one person dying every 4 minutes experts believe the actual death toll between march and april may have been more than $60000.00 hospitals are overwhelmed and less than 2 percent of the population's been vaccinated now kurdistan and the g can stand have agreed to use soviet era maps to end a decades long border dispute at least 50 people were killed during fighting last month a ceasefire brokered by russia is now in place but moscow's role as chief mediator is being questioned charles trafford reports now from the capital bishkek in the aftermath of the worst fighting between kyrgyzstan and as you can stand since the border dispute started 30 years ago one question is being asked louder than others how did you could stand launch what analysts say was a well planned military operation while on the same day this was happening in the town capital john by

a russian defense minister sergei sure go meeting his tactic and keurig is counterparts at a meeting of the collective security organization that's led by russia that seems to say something either about complicity of russia or relative remove of russia from what's going on in central asia or maybe some other sinister interests being played out in moscow that's the $1000000.00 question a statue of lenin in the cutest capital bishkek. the soviet union is no more but russia remains both kyrgyzstan and tajikistan's number one ally and rewards them if they do what moscow wants kyrgyzstan's relationship with russia has suffered in recent years analysts say the moscow is unhappy with a decade and a half of political instability including 3 revolutions and some say the kremlin is concerned about the new president leaning too much towards its rival china

president so there is a part of has for many cuties finch who conciliator e towards to as you can stand after at least 34 of the estimated 50 people killed in the fighting were courteous but he needs russia's support to deescalate the situation and help find a lasting solution russia has called for calm in negotiations but some analysts say it's relatively weak response maybe because of what's happening in another of tajikistan's neighbors afghanistan but i thought look i guess i'm not going to show . nato pulling out of afghanistan means the importance of his stand for russia is growing as you can stand as russia's 1st line of defense both kyrgyzstan to stand hosting russian military bases at one until he can stand as well important because russia understands that have to stand explodes because of spillover from afghanistan then the whole region could follow this doesn't mean that as you can

stand has the right to conduct what was a planned military operation on the characters borders and russia will not outright condemning the curious flag flies over bishkek but many are wondering how kyrgyzstan until you can stand it can reach a lasting solution to their border dispute and whether their mutual ally can or indeed wants to help chance trafford al-jazeera bishkek. well still ahead here on out is there allegations of genocide against the theory of his military in the to gray region in a video message smuggled out of the country. and how taiwan's once high flying tech industry is being drained by the worst drought in almost half a century. it's time for the perfect jenny the weather sponsored by qatar airways

but it's already raining in england which in itself is fine it's spring spring rains good but in this case that's part of a wind up system which you can see here which is looking more like an autumn storm so this rain is going to bring with it some strong winds that has the advantage of drawing very warm air for the south it's quite hot in the south of france it's quite a pleasant day in both portugal and spain and there's not much in the way of cloud for a good part of your right on the edges to cause a northerly breeze is bringing rain now to turkey but bordeaux's 31 is not going to last you down to 18 below average by tying it to monday because this thing of course will unwind and bring rain into the western side of france right portugal and spain this happening during sunday at the same time it's cold just chill for stowing georgia and for the far north east of turkey but in between a different story and this is going to be blocking heat i think really the rain then he's like to concentrate on the eastern side of france down to the cut as you

whiz some pretty wet spring snow for the outs and avalanche risk once more but look at this i colorized it if you like the oranges high twenty's in northern germany well above average and a huge difference from just 3 days ago. sponsored by qatar airways a weekly critique of the stories had to lay headlines in the news media have been left to sort through mixed messages on a quite complex story from mainstream to street journalism the enemy of objective is to get me to send it to the wall to show them what's going on exposing real world threats to objectivity often of our neighbor turned to moscow 11000 people were arrested the listening post covers the way the news is covered on the jersey you know.

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 it when dealing 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
