down you're the maltese at a time when back to earth in an uncontrolled reentry. but 1st there's been another night of violence in occupied east jerusalem outside the ark some most compounds israeli police citing security were seen hitting and fighting palestinian protesters the police crackdown is seen as a provocation by muslims who accuse israel of threatening their freedom of worship harry fawcett reports from occupied east jerusalem. on the holiest night of ramadan more violence on the streets of occupied east jerusalem. palestinian protesters threw water bottles israeli security forces use stun grenades foul smelling chemically laced water jets. a close up physical force. this man was beaten on the ground in front of us the. and then i should

a way into. the night with no attempt to detain him it wasn't an isolated incident . so the period just before and around pres was relatively calm here and the mask escape in the last few minutes was a road runner who did so another night with all the attention and scuffles don't worry is that another potentially violent night conceived in the following knows that potential was fulfilled the anger here isn't just about the scenes from iraq so on friday when stun grenades we used inside the mosque itself it's been building over threats to forcibly evict palestinian families from their homes in the east jerusalem neighborhood of shakes. and i said if you're not gonna see me people solidarity gave us the power to continue without peaceful resistance all that is peaceful solidarity against. we also any organizational governments to

stand with us and help prevent the false holy fictions in shaikh sherif. we are the rightful owners we are the owners of the land all we want is for them to stay away the forged papers they have to not make them the rightful owners i. it's been present since the start of the holy month when pandemic weary people found a major post pres gathering point bought off and it's been exacerbated by interventions from the israeli far right. we don't have no light at the end of that hour but we don't have a color because there is no peace process is jerusalem is occupied by israeli sovereignty in jerusalem it hasn't been recognized by the international community so we are sitting on a volcano there are concerns of a further deterioration on monday thousands of jewish israelis assert to march

through the old city's muslim quarter to mark the israeli seizure of east jerusalem in 1967 on the same day as a supreme court hearing on the shake evictions dangerous days ahead for a flashpoint city it can be both a focal point and a fuse the conflict within and far beyond its streets are a force that al-jazeera occupied east jerusalem. israeli military says rockets have been far towards israel from gaza and says it later launched airstrikes on hamas military posts in southern gaza houses military when said israel would pay a price for its treatment of palestinians in occupied east jerusalem the number of people killed in bombings at a girls' school in couple has risen to at least 50 almost all of the victims are children 3 explosions were set off at the school entrance on saturday the students believe in it happened in

a mostly shia muslim neighborhood in western kabul the taliban condemned the attack and tonight responsibility and to serious foreign reports from kabul and a warning some of the images in her reports are disturbing. children screaming for their mothers scattered notebooks and casualties strong across the ground in western kabul. girls' school had been a place of safety education and hope for the future now the scene of an attack intended to create maximum casualties 3 explosions at about 5 30 pm local time the same time young women and girls were finishing school and streaming out of the gate dozens of wounded civilians were rushed to mohammad ali jinnah hospital many in a critical condition in my view unfortunately during the time when students were coming out of the school a powerful explosion happened and then

a number of children will wind it and you can see that all the hospitals are full of victims. those who lost their lives lined up in the corridors a family members checked to see they'd lost their loved ones concerned people can't stop to donate blood. but there were a lot of casualties there were a few male victims but most of them were female school students the victims were female school students the bodies were everywhere and some of the bodies were missing here. took place in. a predominately and huzzaing neighborhood these groups have often been at the receiving end of violence by armed groups in afghanistan due to religious and political differences rights groups say there has been a recent surge in targeted killings of women and religious minorities no group has yet claimed responsibility for this attack but there is

a circle of blame among officials and fighter groups the taliban condemned the attack and denied any responsibility blaming eisel but president blame the armed groups saying the taliban have once again shown their own willingness to resolve the crisis peacefully and fundamentally by escalating their legitimate war and violence. in a country already torn apart by decades of war his attack will no doubt lead to more clear more anger and parents scared to send their children to school my life now is he feel contra free in philly oh as zol about are trying to distance themselves from this attack but has anyone claimed responsibility for the murder of schoolgirls. well actually no no one has claimed responsibility so far and like we've heard the taliban denied responsibility they blamed iceland directly

blamed the afghan government for supporting that group the afghan government openly blamed the taliban so there's this blame game that we keep seeing when such attacks happen as to could have done it now the government says they have been investigating the incident but we have to know that there is this culture of impunity here there have been so many attacks like this one and the government has has done arrests for example that. attack on the kabul university where a rests were made but nobody has really been held accountable and has been held to justice and that's why afghans have been so angry because they have been demanding from the government that this attacks are investigated and the perpetrators are brought to justice because this is one of the ways that this endless cycle of violence could break when there is no impunity now like you mentioned dusted bar cheese an area in western kabul that said we're don't want to leave

a neighborhood there has been so many attacks in that area the area has been literally reeling from attacks and a lot of them have been claimed by eisold but again no one has been brought to justice and it's important to remember that it's almost exactly a year ago that exactly in that area there was this horrifying attack on that my charity clinic that was stormed by gunmen and mothers with newborns in their all arms were gunned down no one has claimed responsibility been a year no one has been held to justice and really what happened yesterday that school could be one of those attacks that once again no one claims responsibility and no one is brought to justice if you took the bombing of a maternity clinic your newborn babies being. we've also seen a girls' school being targeted i mean these are pretty appalling crime is this an

indication of what lines the hades after the foreign troops withdraw on september 11th. well actually and i have to tell you that has since may 1st when the foreign troop drawdown officially began kabul has been on no very high alert there is checkpoints everywhere and that's another thing that afghans have been demanding from the government protection why there's all those security those things keep happening and right you know last year when the peace talks were still kind of holding because now have been stalled people were talking about those the so-called spoilers those who would want to undermine the peace process but now these attacks are happening in a completely different context the peace talks have been stalled of the foreign troop drawdown has been has began and these are very very uncertain times for afghanistan it looks like violence will be rising as we speak held mond there is

fierce battles going on down there in the south and nobody really knows amid all this uncertainty how things will be unfolding in the coming weeks and months if you are for it reporting live from kabul through a thank you. an iraqi activist has been assassinated in an early morning raid on his house in the city of karbala and identify gunmen stormed the home of a was any on sunday carrying silenced weapons police say a search is under way for the attackers the iraqi commission for human rights says women 550 people have been killed since a process movements against the government began in 2019. for the 2nd day in a rule more than 400000 people 4000 people rather have died all of call that 19 in

india bringing the total close to a quarter of a 1000000 infections show no sign of slowing down as the country battles devastating 2nd wave there were 400000 new confirmed cases on saturday alone several states have gone into lockdown but there are mounting calls for the national government to take action and impose its own nationwide locked i'm get more now from the towel in you delhi. badly we had heard that there was a warning injure could be on track for a 1000000 coronavirus deaths by all guests given the numbers i've just read said it seems pretty desperate situation just tell us what it's like right now in. you know the numbers don't seem to come down at all right now we're learning the 2 states the state of and delhi have extended their version of lock downs so if their provision had

a posh you can block down which it has extended and the city of jelly which you know we've seen cases come down a bit in jelly the positivity rate has dropped from above 35 percent a few weeks ago to now below 25 percent it has in fact not just extended its lock down but also tightened restrictions so starting monday we will not have metro service for a week but as you mentioned 4th straight day of more than 400000 fresh cases india now the 3rd country after u.s. and brazil to record over 4000 deaths in one day and as we've been reporting both these numbers remain under reported we've seen the cases really shift in the south of the country since that time allowed to carry karnataka announcing their own lock downs which are beginning now or on monday meanwhile the. horse whistles through struggling right now the case numbers keep going up what's the government

doing the appears to be missing in action. well there's been a lot of criticism of the government from all corners there is the skidding editorial by the lancet which has blamed the prime minister and the government for presiding over what it's called a self-inflicted national catastrophe and then there is the domestic criticism the indian medical association asking the government to quote wake up from slumber criticizing the government for the all surgeon shortage and also for not imposing a well planned national lockdown leaving the states to scramble both in terms of lockdown but also there is the lack of a central policy when it comes to vaccinations you was remember that india announced that people between the age of 18 and 44 can now be vaccinated about of starting may 1st but barely a dozen states have been able to stop that drive states are scrambling in fact

gerry now saying it only has enough vaccinations for the next 4 or 5 days and then there is the tone deaf message of it all that the government has been criticized for india has right now accepting aid from countries around the world rich and poor 1 but the central government is going ahead with a project that's costing more than a $1000000000.00 to revamp the parliament and other buildings including a new home for the prime minister oh ok. laurie from new jersey thank you. still to come here on al-jazeera the scottish national party basically pushing for a new referendum on independence for me after another election victory and missing out on a green gold rush where the potential might legalization of marijuana will do little to help mexico's performance you know.

but. another spring storm you have a spring storm is approaching the northwest of europe is already raining in the british isles that's the cold front behind it to change things which are currently quite hot ahead of it so in the south of france for example temperatures around about low thirty's for one or 2 places well border goes down to $26.00 as the crowd starts or increase in the rain comes in this is during sunday the same is true for portugal and spain ahead of it all clear skies and the warming sunshine right on the edge of your really beyond is still cold enough for snow in georgia and in the high ground in the northeast of turkey now this rain is it news for this cold front will become stationary against the alps us heavy rain with potential flooding in the south of france with wet snows bring snow for the alps big avalanche risk but the head of it still the sun is out and the breezes from the sides that's a warm direction this whole area is nuts much warmer that is the case even now that

we are rising by maybe 10 degrees that berlin should reach right 28 but what about the average which you sent 10 to head down towards by the time we get to wednesday so it's not going to last. same is true libya kept a record breaking days this small town on their way sis but that's already cooling down as the wind directions changed it to the eastern libya. frank assessments there are a lot of poison but the government needs to watch what exactly happened and what measures are now taking for a situation like i'm not to believe you could ever get informed opinions is the us with thinking the military positioning in the middle east or is it just a simple act of we're going to is it military assets this is a message to the region the united states hears rethinking its military posture in-depth analysis of the day school ople headlines inside story just era.

my. best is al jazeera a quick reminder of our top stories this hour it's been another night of violence in occupied east jerusalem one side a mosque compound the police crackdown a seems provocation by muslims who accuse israel of threatening their freedom of worship and amber of people killed in bombings at a girls' school in kabul has risen see at least 50 almost all of the victims are children the taliban has denied being responsible and has condemned the attack. and for the 2nd day in a row more than 4000 people have died of covert 19 in india infection still no sign

of slowing down of 400000 new cases recorded on saturday. like other countries in latin america peru remains in the grip of a severe 2nd wave of coronavirus infections lost loved ones overcrowded hospitals and a slow vaccine rulers are plunging many people into despair and as daniel schwimmer reports cemeteries are struggling to bury their dad. it was only when her case attracted national media attention the local cemetery found a place for guinea belt used as brother joy she was desperate and working on a film and reading 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 has recorded more than 15000 deaths from the covered $900.00 virus health experts say the truth is probably much higher

symmetries are overwhelmed despite doing all they can to accommodate the increased demand. as you can see the sun is always symmetries 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 it all meant unfortunately although peru is a rich country people are dying they are buried clandestinely in the hills by just digging a hole grues 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 of 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 without 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 coverage 19 deaths earlier in the pandemic bodies were left on the streets in the ecuadorian city of guayaquil and the symmetries of the brazilian amazon city of man hours overflowed. oh the 2nd wave continues to bite dealing with the dead is again presenting a huge challenge the anguish why there are dizzier. rescue crews in guinea are searching for survivors after a month slider's a gold mine at least 16 people have been killed after the collapse insecurity in the north east local media say as many as 40 people may be still be traps. london's mayor said he can has been reelected for a 2nd term in a narrower than expected victory over his conservative party wyvil can secure 55

percent of the votes the 50 year old's victory was one of the bright spots for the labor party. scotland's the independent scottish national party won its 4th street problem entry election and its leader nicholas sturgeon says the victory shows people are ready for another vote son scotland becoming independent from the u.k. join a whole reports 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 the s.n.p. and the scottish greens stood in a clear commitment to an independence referendum within the next parliament shit here and both of us be clear that the timing over it for in them should be to say by a simple majority. 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 and 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 desires even further so right now polling suggests perhaps the slates and not support for independents in kind of 4849 percent and it's been 50 percent consistently over the last year but one 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 lot of people who haven't made their mind up on independence so you would have to change their minds rather than rather than enlighten people or bring people together so you would have to have to change their entrenched positions which might lead one to. 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 brix 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 the declining influence of unionist parties scottish labor and 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 antagonism towards westminster and the pursuit of independence from it for years to come jonah how al-jazeera.

russian soldiers are marching in parades across the country to mark the 76th victim a day is the anniversary of the soviet victory over nazi germany in moscow president vladimir putin is watching over 12000 soldiers. and china says remnants of one of its biggest rockets have landed in the indian ocean after an uncontrolled reentry into earth's atmosphere coordinates for the spice chinese space agency but the landing area here just west of malta needs saying it clear whether any debris landed on the islands china says most of it's burned up. on the docket called long march 5 launch 10 days ago carrying part of china's 1st permanent space station nasa has criticized beijing for failing to control the debris saying it isn't missing responsible standards and zander is a senior research fellow at the university of southern queensland institute for

advanced engineering and space sciences he says china is the only country that still owes the un control re-entry of space junk. large bases can reach the ground but it doesn't happen too often and certainly not really way in populated areas today the main place that entered the atmosphere was about 20 tons in 30 meters long so that was certainly the single piece that entered the atmosphere once it entered the atmosphere was broken up into many smaller pieces previously a long match 5 b. is being reported to drop a piece that was 12 meters long so you could imagine if there were people around that it would be dangerous but again landed in the ocean and that's where most of the space debris doesn't tackle and so this chinese long match is one of the 1st rockets and it's only the 2nd of its type it's been launched whereby the main stage of the rockets at a very large component actually went over to this means it's orbiting around the earth and that's what we've been tracking for the previous few days normally these rockets would be disposed of in

a manner that means they drop into the ocean saley quickly after the launch and don't go into an uncontrolled orbit like this one with the set up they've got they can put more mass into orbit so so their actual space station launching or i would get more of that into orbit for a less cost both in mass and dollars and the result is of course that we have this one piece left over afterward for example people like space x. are of course real and everything so that they can reuse it and that seems to me like the international and global trends that's happening this single use is not really seen anywhere else outside of china so i hopefully won't be continuing in this line. poor mexican farmers hoping to cash in as efforts to legalize cannabis make their way through congress not everyone is convinced they'll get a fair share though on republican reports from mexico city. is a small village in central mexico it's a poor community lacking running water and electricity. villagers have relied on

the sale of traditional medicines and more recently honey for their survival but amid drought and environmental degradation neither industry is viable anymore which is why they are looking to grow marijuana now legal under federal law is one up on . its medicine ill planned the treats many things so why not we would accept working with associations to use our fertile lands that are free of agro chemicals for cultivation of cannabinoid which is medicine. many of you marijuana legalization as a potential boom for mexico's struggling economy a green gold rush to create jobs in poor areas and a new source of tax revenue for the government. policy experts however say the new reforms are not designed to benefit small communities like last. season so. unfortunately the side there of social justice to benefit rural communities who have been among the worst affected by the drug war seems more like fiction these

communities will supposedly be given priority to obtain certain licenses for growing but the entry costs are too high for them to afford. critics of the new law see the mexican government has not only falsely promoted the legal marijuana initiative as an economic relief for poor communities but also a benefit to patients who depend on marijuana for medical use. the bed is has been treating her 8 year old son with medicinal cannabis oil for the last 6 years she says it's the only thing that's helped against his chronic epileptic seizures but the reform still makes it illegal to give minors products derived from cannabis little sample in the hand the white and the law leaves us out so we are left with no choice but to make this medical treatment for him and for many other children in mexico illegally and also cultivate illegally in order to obtain the oil extracts at home. the legal cannabis in mexico means recreational use will be

decriminalized not everyone is pleased with the final outcome of the reform law in law hopes are still high the growing legal marijuana could lift the town out of poverty. unfortunately the law itself may not be entirely on their side. up a low al-jazeera mexico city. base is al-jazeera and these are the headlines there's been another night of violence in occupied east jerusalem outside the mosque compound israeli police were seen hitting and fighting palestinian protesters the crackdown is seen by muslims as a provocation and they accuse israel of threatening their freedom of worship.
