more than 50 people have also been injured while the blast targeted the say the shadow school in the predominantly shia neighborhood which is the actually the same area in which $25.00 people were killed including newborn babies mothers and nurses when the maternity ward of the local hospital was attacked last year the shia has our community has long suffered persecution and discrimination in afghanistan they've been increasingly targeted by i still in recent months and there are fears about intensifying violence and insecurity as u.s. troops withdraw from the country video controversy has more now from the afghan capital. the incident happened at 530 local kabul time that's the time when the afternoon shift of foss cools is ending the students are finishing their classes and that was a girls' school and there is no school buses here to take them home so at that time the streets outside of school are packed with students going home that's when i

witnesses say 3 explosions happened almost back to back and after that point according to eyewitnesses there were there was paddick there were students who were trying to run away crying and calling for their mothers there's some extremely graphic footage that has been coming out from the area of the attack with bodies lying next to each other with bodies being put one of almost on top of another in an area that could be either part of building or part of a hospital and dozens have been transferred in hospitals across kabul the taliban has. condemned the attack and it has blamed eisel for it and we have to remember that this attack happened in western kabul in dust which is an area that is predominantly has predominantly shia

and in recent years there have been many attacks in that area schools have been targeted gyms have been targeted and most of the times it has been i so that has claimed an attack this story is still developing but i can tell you is that was driving through kabul the entire city tonight is numb after this attack well earlier i spoke to chris affinia monday the afghanistan country director for save the children he says that children are often the victims of attacks in the region. i think this is an outrageous attack that is happening again targeting juden mostly us this is not new this is the reality of life in afghanistan we see time in a building that children are being targeted in this morning they live in a school. and. we panic it's appalling that this is happening schools should be safe havens for children not zones of war i think we will

be all the perpetrators and parties to this conflict that they should do everything to protect children especially in schools and i think it's easy the schools declared mission is good guidelines on how you know this can be done in accordance with international humanitarian law book including of waiting using schools is. infrastructure for. the district that we are talking about at this moment is a district that is suffered a lot of violence in the past as we have as you have seen at reportage. but again this is a school that is accommodating grows. and it's not new in afghanistan already we see that last year. over 50 percent of the victims of the

conflict in afghanistan which you are doing and this is said and. all now go to our other top story this hour israeli police are out in force in occupied east jerusalem a day after they strongly alok some mosque the security presence is threatening to further inflame tensions with the palestinians more than $200.00 people were injured in friday's violence that included the use of rubber coated bullets and stun grenades against the palestinians police have also blocked of muslim pilgrims from heading to the compound palestinian groups of called for protests after friday's events so let's now speak thai for set in occupied east jerusalem harry just explain to us where you are now and what's been happening around here. over here a damascus gate just on the fringes of the old city and since it was the last 2 off hours or so really there's been a repeated cycle of clashes and then the calm between the palestinian largely young

men groups here but families and children and elderly people as well and the israeli security forces it generally seems to be a case of of bottles being thrown by palestinians towards israeli security forces plastic water bottles and then every now and again they will come in and try and clear the square with liberal use or. to base stun grenades and it is so they've been using what's known as the skunk water cannon which distributes foul smelling water in areas where they're trying to clear we will so seen some running scuffles with people being dragged to the ground and beaten and then not arrested but simply sent on their way so so far the posse red crescent society is saying 53 people have been injured in tonight's violence it is so far not yet as well as extreme as the scenes that we saw on friday night the mosque itself there lots of mosques seems relatively quiet on what is

a usually significant night it's the holiest. night of ramadan a lot of cutters were 90000 people are said to have been in the mosque itself and we still have these continuing tensions in the streets nearby right and you say there and of course there are many thousands of worshippers in. the final 5 day of ramadan and many people that now can you tell us who you've been seeing is it mainly is it mainly young people who are out there tonight. here i mean it is mainly young men as you would expect there is a rising sense of tension in the city there has been really throughout the month of ramadan and so there are people here who are expecting some kind of a confrontation as i say so far it's largely been limited to water bottles being thrown and stun grenades and sort of hand to hand scuffles at as well as

the water cannon use but it's not just here there have also been reports of. protests and confrontations in shake share our which is a neighborhood where there are 4 families currently under imminent threat of eviction that has become something of a call to arms for people across the city and the palestinian side and also beyond . standing right now just. into the crowd this is what we've been seeing throughout the night every now and again that they were trying to clear this one very very just going off this is what we saw a few minutes ago i'm sure i will i'll stay true to the. source or a few moments ago they threw stun grenades very close to where we are standing our car here was hit by a way that i think i'm fairly sure that he was ok. that's

the most intense of all in one. place that we've seen so far. indeed the police israeli security forces. to clear the square in a pretty comprehensive fashion. and carry. it have seen throughout the evening it's been it's been relatively calm we have seen a heavy police presence on the streets there as we saw yesterday with many troops being deployed on the last friday of ramadan and of course worshippers who come to the al aqsa mosque that were faced with barriers and extra security and so the last few hours we've been seeing. we've been seeing people hurling

bottles at the police and they've been responding with with stun grenades but as you said that's. just a perhaps some more intense volleys we've just seen. yes i mean when it when you say it's been relatively calm i suppose relative compared to what happened on friday however there is still a lot of this night remaining. and i think to some extent each side knows the other's limits and we haven't seen particularly strong levels of violence but we have seen people wrestled to the ground. and then sent away again if it seems to make any kind of legal process or detention even the so that there is a will it seems by the police to try to clamp down on this but the question is whether that will have any kind of lasting effect because the more that these

syrians are seen and experienced. the hole that they're. is a possibility of it being. further expanded and indeed we have heard a warning from hamas in gaza or the brigades the military wing of hamas which is available seems to others an injury that we can see just now the passing red crescent society medics are coming down to try to help clear that injury away from the steps. so here we have had this warning coming in from gaza there's also. protests that have been going on right in the occupied west bank more generally and all of this is building towards what we expect on monday when jerusalem day is observed by israeli jews particularly right wing religious nationalist israeli jews who come to the old city and march through the muslim quarter waving israeli flags chanting and singing that day coincides with what with what is currently judging to

be a hearing in the israeli supreme court about the evictions in east jerusalem which i was talking about a few minutes ago and so everything really continues to point in the way. just tired stun grenade immediately behind us here where i'm standing by for that you know. you're right samir so as you can see they continue to throw these stun grenades right into where the media are standing i'm going to show you where we are we're on the steps here of damascus gate with the israeli security forces massing behind us people been throwing bottles in this direction and distribute forces have been throwing things with a good deal more volatility and power right here throughout as you saw earlier the whole amphitheater of the last district. and harry as you say is a great theory is that it happening that now and tensions are running high but as

you say monday is going to be very important because you have to use. one day coinciding with the supreme court delaying this decision over of the legality of this addiction notice said palestinians in the share neighborhood and this has been we have seen a crackdown on palestinians and protesters in that neighborhood in recent it recently. that. indeed yes this is a long running issue which has been going for many years but has really gathered steam in terms of its potency combined with what's been happening in damascus gate since the beginning of ramadan the issue at stake is that there is a group of houses that were built on land that were given to palestinian refugees after the creation the state of israel in 1956 when jordan was in charge in occupied in east jerusalem occupied then by jordan in accordance with the united

nations refugee agency it gave it this land and these houses to these palestinian families now there is this group of or other an organization which represents what they say are the original jewish owners of that land and that under the israeli national law they say that they are entitled to of it the palestinians from that land now this does not take into account international or under which occupying powers are obliged to keep up the promises of their predecessors as occupiers nor does it address the idea that palestinians aunts allowed to claim ownership and reclaim the property that they lost in the west that this is. an obviously iniquitous situation in the argument of many international lawyers and indeed international governments who've been condemning this in stronger terms than usual in recent days so that is one of the the many factors it's a multifaceted situation here in jerusalem which is leading to these tensions which

in turn. could easily spread as i have in the past elsewhere in israel and palestine and in the wider region. ok thank you thank you very much kerry for certain israel and will continue to just say only use images just to keep an eye on what's been happening there is as palestinian. have gathered on this very significant night the night of gathered in the holy month of ramadan so many people there and a very heavy israeli police presence there as well where harry was just now and in occupied east jerusalem in damascus kate we can now speak to our next guest via skype from tel aviv eldar a senior political journalist and author who co-wrote the bestselling book lords of the land the war of the israel settlements in the occupied territories and well i

mean just i suppose it is difficult to describe powell high the stakes are when it comes to jerusalem what is your view of recent events in and. does it signal an escalation. well as harry has just described and you just had to glance at the. footage that comes out comes out from jerusalem. you know jerusalem is also a place but no only that it's the timing is bad because of there on the dawn and jerusalem day and the routing of the quote. there is a lack of leadership swissair response a little. oh a gatekeeper. i remember was when the 2nd intifada happened it started in jerusalem there was

a government in israel that was in charge there was even a dialogue is. was fucked united states was involved now look there is no legitimate leadership in israel netanyahu has lost the elections there is no new government in ramallah we have a president that postponed elections and he lost these austerity and legitimacy we have the hamas in gaza that was expecting to take over and they are frustrated and in is well there is the islamic movement that has to prove because they were negotiating with this including was antonio know they have to prove that they are dedicated to jordan and they support your people of hockey by east jerusalem and you know we say that. we don't have not

light at the end of the tunnel but we don't have it coming because there is no peace process east jerusalem is occupied it's not israeli sovereignty in jerusalem it hasn't been recognized by the international community so we are sitting on a volcano and if nobody will. take responsibility things can get worse because before they get better. right and interesting what you say there about u.s. involvement in previous years i suppose what we've seen is this significant policy shift by the u.s. in the ministration since 2017 which essentially challenge to the. internationally established internationally supported promises for peace between

israelis and palestinians and now well there might be a new administration in place but it's not clear where this leaves us policy in terms of a peace process. and no. prime minister netanyahu doesn't have a real interest to. collide with his those settlers who are attempting to so to speak to his is jews in him and they are. saying openly that. sure is just the beginning and what they're going to do monday is to provoke the palestinians who live in the muslim quote and dance which was the israeli flag so there is a lot of all creation and you need to hear. actually street to tango it's not enough that you have. extremists from the right and from the left 'd there is nobody in washington that has a direct line

a hotline to ramallah and to an attorney oh president biden lost trust in the net and you know years ago he never spoke to abu mazen since he took office there was not even a phone call between the 2 so the international community is mute jerusalem is getting hotter and hotter well thank you for joining us appreciate it. eldar journalist and author joining us there from tel aviv thank you mariam ill with the news hour live from london much more still to tell you about on the program. meet physically for the 1st time in a while and a bit to get more coverage 1000 vaccines to india. a senior official says that nothing can stop the tokyo games from going ahead we'll have more on that story as well in the sport.

have been reports of shelling in ethiopia's to gray region and several aid agencies say that aid convoys have been blocked from entering the area now off to 6 months of conflict one of the country's top religious leaders has spoken out against what he describes as genocide same bus ravi has more. the ethiopian government has been fighting the tigre a people's liberation front since november the conflict in the northern region has killed thousands of people and displaced more than a 1000000. and now rare public criticism from inside the capital against if you look as prime minister. to go his i am not sure what the to great people did wrong what their crimes are i am not clear why they wanted to clear genocide on the people of to great i do not know why they want to why the people have to agree from the surface of the earth the whole world should know this. the

video of a beauty mathias a tigre a native and patriarch of ethiopia has orthodox church was filmed last month and smuggled out of other suburb. he accuses the government of creating carnage wanting to destroy the northern to greater region and censoring his earlier attempts to speak out. and other message to the people of to gray who live in the country and out of the country is this may god give you strength may he give you his strength and power everything passes and this might pass away this might pass away don't be demoralized don't be fearful or anxious the government has condemned atrocities in the conflict but has denied claims of ethnic cleansing and the targeting of civilians members of parliament choose the country senior leaders and this 40 percent of its estimated 110000000 people are orthodox christian

mathias his message is likely to resonate with voters ahead of parliamentary elections in june. no it's attempts to shape the narrative of how the conflict has under its bolded these kinds of contradictory statements challenge the government. which for example was denying the presence of eritrean troops or months before only confirming the present very trying troops when to go prime minister ahmed efforts to achieve peace in the region earned him the nobel prize in 2019 but he's faced multiple crises since. the humanitarian fall out of the tigre a conflict is likely to overshadow upcoming elections which could erode his hold on power and on wednesday the government appointed head of interim government resigned giving no reasons as to why. it's now speak to samuel get to

choose an ethiopian john list and has recently been incited great joins me from scenario in northern ethiopia can you tell me what it was a lie inside gray you must have had conversations with people in what you learnt about crimes that have been committed in the region thank you mariam. a guy. and i spent. over. 2. me my soul and money really look like a meager korean wrote people just watching what's happening in the region you know i've been able to travel to the region in the last 5 yourself or times this were people who were happy contented with what. and when i visited them earlier this week and last week there were just a siders people and there were just. as confused us 3 should be

because someone what we're hearing from the region that's just the side of us. so we've seen we've never seen him and the history of the standard that we've. and we have witnesses described significant civilian deaths in the fighting we have also heard about sexual abuse and sexual violence one of our own correspondents a survivor of sexual abuse who'd managed to escape to sudan what did what did you learn about human rights abuses and war crimes. for instance when i was an alley. which is the biggest public. hospital and in the region it looked like. something you would only see from from a movie many young doctors overwhelmed with what they have to you

know go through terms of treating people being injured so it's not abuse allegations are no longer allegations but seem to be true by the dea you know even if you were actually drivers it would seem the simple thing we know somebody who has been either abused or cured this conflict again it seemed like it was when you are seeing the same thing that this conflict has again thousands of people and i have no doubt many many thoughts and concepts. as you say that you are hearing consistent reports and descriptions from the people that you are speaking to but i'm just wondering if there was any particular conversation any person any story that as it made an impact on you that has stayed with here.

for instance again and mckinley i've been to other places and much into grass well . there was there's a big high school what used to be a high school has become a shelter for some of the displaced. people of. or to graduate. you know there's no school and there were young people following the informing other people that it's a school saying they really want to go back to what they used to which it was easy young people there there will be many many young people who are in a conflict. we have to really be what their parents lived through in the past conflicts outside of this region and all they wanted to say was they really want to. be happy and be educated meet their friends but again they're living in a dumpster and this high school which is not supported it seems to me find no one

except the neighbors new neighbors sending them. basic resources but again they've been overwhelmed it's run by volunteers and by aid organization that provided them basic needs but again they make run out of food and this is. only a couple of the great you can only imagine what's up all across the region are going again it's a very recent situation near a scene in. sana'a get itchy thank you very much for telling us more about your findings and what you witnessed there when you were inside. miriam goodman. now moving on and several states in india are going into lockdown as officials try to bring the corona virus outbreak on to control and is the country off to the united states and brazil to record more than 4000 deaths in a single day and as poverty mittal reports from new delhi many

infections last week and a quarter of the deaths anything. anyone can do to help is now significant enough people struggling to meet up a 2nd with the hope ministry is now saying patients no longer need a positive test result before being admitted to work or get care facility pardon him at the al-jazeera new delhi. now e.u. leaders meanwhile are aging the last lift restrictions on $1000.00 facts in exports a global vaccine shortage was one of the main items on the agenda during their 1st in person summit of the year you counsel present shall michelle says the white house proposal to suspend patents on vaccines would not be a magic bullet and in barbara's been following the summit from london well opinions are divided within the e.u. over whether to follow the u.s. which has said that it will welcome the idea of waiving vaccine pay to see if it's done through the world trade organization show me show the president of the

european council spoke before saturday's talks in porto saying that the approach wasn't a magic bullet but that the e.u. would seriously consider any concrete proposals now germany is known to be one of the major you countries that is more skeptical on the idea and similarly on saturday the french president emmanuel mcconnell said that the pay to was really a false a red herring it's a false argument right now he said that what really needs to be sped up is the export of vaccines pointing out that within the e.u. 400000000 doses have been produced and of those half have been exported to 90 different countries around the world. you default on clay they ask a successful i'm going to be more gentle we should work towards the vaccine becoming a global public product what does that mean firstly producing more that's why i'm calling directly on the united states to end the export ban on the vaccines but

also on the components of these vaccines which is preventing production or will the e.u. leaders also held a virtual meeting with the indian prime minister narendra modi now among the topics of conversation with a restart of trade talks on a free trade agreement with india which are actually suspended back in 2013 now they stalled over things like tariffs and indian workers access to the e.u. jobs market now the sort of underlie of the president of the european commission was pushed on what would be discussed she said it's far too early to talk about the details right now but we know that the e.u. and india are also looking at cooperation on the topic of climate change and reducing emissions or artificial artificial intelligence and supercomputers but the key thing that the e.u. wanted to stress on saturday was that member states are right now providing covered

19 assistance to the government in delhi in the form of things like ventilators and medication to the chain of 100000000 euros. now latin america in the caribbean a grappling with another wave of infections recording nearly 40 percent of new cases worldwide in recent days has put an increasing strain on health systems and as the death toll rises at the cemeteries are also under increasing pressure as well daniel shrine that brings us this report. it was only when her case attracted national media attention the local cemetery found a place for guinea bell just as brother joyal she was desperate and knocking on any human family we have decided to bury him in the garden in the front of my house because there's no other solution what could i do with my dead brother in my house with that smell brewing the last 2 months is recorded more than 15000 deaths from

the covered $1000.00 virus health experts say the truth figure is probably much higher symmetries are overwhelmed despite doing all they can to accommodate the increased demand. as you can see the sun is ours cemetaries on the verge of collapse which is complicated by the situation the world is in so we're trying to adapt our teams to mitigate the situation in our cemeteries but despite their best efforts it's not enough not with nearly 2000000 people in peru infected and 62000 deaths. unfortunately although peru is a rich country people are dying they are buried clandestinely in the hills by just digging a hole peru's underfunded health system is overwhelmed an oxygen is scarce and the vaccination program beset by corruption scandals which is reach less than 2 percent of the population off with little hope some have taken extreme measures in my life

. i saw there were no places in the cemeteries and was worried that there was nowhere to take the dead nor money to bury them that is my concern and that's why i'm building this so my grave is ready. it's not many regions of latin america simply don't have the infrastructure to cope with sharp increases in covered 1000 deaths earlier in the pandemic bodies were left on the streets in the ecuadorian city of black ill and the symmetries of the brazilian amazon city of man hours overflowed. the 2nd wave continues to bite dealing with the dead is again presenting a huge challenge. sure there are. there are stories of following scottish pro independence parties have won a majority in the country's parliamentary elections a scottish national party leader nicolas sturgeon now wants to seek a 2nd referendum in london and on independence from the united kingdom john holl has more on this now from edinburgh it's not the outright majority the scottish

national party had hoped for but the election has produced a majority for independence with the s.n.p. bolstered by the greens 1st minister and s.n.p. leader nicolas sturgeon made clear what she intends to do with it with the s.n.p. and the scottish greens stood in a clear commitment to an independence referendum within the next parliamentary tear and both of us be clear that the timing of a referendum should be decided by a simple majority of peas in the scottish parliament. pandemic recovery is the immediate priority after that the plan is for the scottish parliament to legislate for a referendum to take place within the next 5 years it will be for the government in london in charge of u.k. constitutional affairs to agree negotiate or challenge it in the supreme court a spectacle that would risk inflaming separatist desire and further so right now polling suggests perhaps the slate's slipped in not support for independence in

kind of 4849 percent and it's been 50 percent consistently over the last year but when thing that makes that would make this referendum different though is that there's not a whole lot of people who are undecided there's not a whole that if you haven't made their mind up on independence so you would have to change their minds rather than rather than in like the people i bring people together so you would have to have to change their entrenched positions which meant that my. prime minister boris johnson has consistently ruled out a 2nd referendum the 1st in 2014 was lost by a 10 point margin something he believes should have put the issue to bed for a generation. but then brics it happened which scotland voted against by a large margin in 2016 being taken out of the e.u. against their will as many see it as reinvigorated the drive to leave the united kingdom what it all serves to demonstrate this election intervening event since

2014 of the declining influence of unionist parties scottish labor in the conservatives is just how divided this country now is split pretty much right down the middle there may well be a pass to a 2nd referendum now but still no way of predicting the outcome if it happens and with its politics said to be defined by tag an ism towards westminster and the pursuit of independence from it for years to come join a whole al-jazeera. now they've been demonstrations across latin america and in spain in solidarity with colombians protesting against their government and the president even to k. at least $26.00 people have died since demonstrations 1st began in colombia last month an initially against a tax reform proposal that's now been scrapped thousands of colombia nationals in the spanish capital madrid brought streets to a standstill the protests have become a broad call for improvements to colombia's pension health and education systems

to the fact that if you appeal needs it to be able to elevate its people out of poverty and improve its economy it's also worried about its population but it's something that egypt has repeated 3 countries say that a deal is not impossible should they be able to come together but right now how do they come together and how they continue on with their talks is something that they're yet to agree on so while it seems like the 3 countries say that a deal is possible there is no new date set for rounds of talks knows nobody has come forward and said that they are going to set a timeframe and a date to start to resume negotiations between the 3 countries and sudan has repeatedly stated that with egypt very determined to continue with salt to the way it's been going on over the past few years it doesn't it is not eager sudan is not eager to continue talks in such in such a manner and that it will continue and it will try to pursue legal means international means if possible to prevent it from going on with willing operating
