5:05 pm
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 a set to march through the old city's muslim quarter to mark the israeli siege of east jerusalem in 1967 dangerous days ahead for a flashpoint city that 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. some thoughts now from you'll see ben in who is a former israeli minister of justice he believes a new government could reduce tensions between the israelis and palestinians. i hope very much that in the coming days the danielle government will disappear politically and that there will be
5:06 pm
a new government which would be much more sensitive and will not only deal with the issues of flows where the it is legal or not is not enough but where that it is human or not and we're doing it hopes us those people to be closer get closer to peace or the other way around because on both sides what you have are extremists who would like to use any opportunity in order to inflame the situation and there is no place better than dead then the harm is showing because i mean historically there are confrontations many of them between israelis and arabs began there i really hope that majorities on both sides which are reasonable and the last thing that they need is an israeli police entering the harm michele leaves and and then the usual questions who began and who was more violent than the other it's really useless we really hope to get out of it and maybe maybe i'm not sure but maybe the

5:09 pm
in port says that our soft peace has begun and. you know they have got a new strategy that we if we attack the army the answer want waters we will play import that but yes and that tack on the public and we would just say that it is not us in the eyes i guess but behind the scenes everyone is aware of that the taliban in doha the taliban in pakistan in the shower. ordered your commander to start spreading attacks against the afghan government and people so the idea is not that that they are not fighting we had if we were not there very high ranking commanders in doha yet it's no other group but taliban responsible in they have the power for big attacks in afghanistan. protesters a bunch of times and blocked roads in iraq after a prominent activist was killed by unidentified gunmen it was name was shot dead in

5:11 pm
a motorcycle with 3 gunmen pulled up and shot him at close range multiple times they said that he had received several threats throughout the protests but as recently as a week ago that he demanded protection from the government which he didn't get and the family of course cannot directly say who is responsible but they are blaming armed groups that act outside of the chain of command that are act independently of the government and have close ties to iran and unfortunately did don't really believe that the government is able to bring the killers to account we've seen several promises from the side of prime minister most of the myth that he would rein in these armed groups that he would deliver justice to slain protesters and activists but so far only a handful of suspects have been arrested and no one has been brought to account. in

5:19 pm
vaccines one that was 1st identified in india to be 1617 is likely to be a variant of concern because it has some your patients which increase transmission and which also potentially could make them resistant to antibodies that are generated by vaccination or by natural infection. some states are imposing restrictions and curfews to arrest the spread of the virus but many people believe anything short of a national law is in adequate. that. the situation is really bad the problem is that the lockdown is not strict enough if the lockdown was stricter we probably would have been able to bring the change which we're not able to do right now maharashtra was able to break the chain after a month of lockdown. people are scrambling to get appointments to be vaccinated as states report doses are in short supply the government in new delhi has asked the
5:20 pm
central government for more vaccines saying it too will run out of doses in the next 4 to 5 days and although cases all falling here the state has extended its lockdown by another week. al-jazeera. health officials in sudan sounding the alarm after 2 states reported steadily rising corona virus infections both the term and. states are receiving an increase in new cases and deaths sudan's health minister says hospitals are in poor condition and there's not enough oxygen medicine or equipment just over 31000 people have tested positive in total but the government admits the actual numbers are much higher. and in latin america like most countries in the region peru is in the grip of a deadly 2nd wave overcrowded hospitals a slow vaccine rollout and a rising number of deaths leaving many people in despair and as daniel reports
5:21 pm
there's been struggling to bury all the dead. it was only when her case attracted national media attention the local cemetery found a place for guinea belt used as brother joyal she was desperate and working on a film and then we had 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 grew in the last 2 months is recorded more than 15000 deaths from the covered $1000.00 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 ours 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
5:22 pm
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're buried clandestinely in the hills by just digging a hole through his 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. i saw there were no places in the cemeteries and was worried that there was nowhere to take the debt nor money to bury them that is my concern and that's why i'm building this so my grave is ready for the many regions of latin america simply don't have the infrastructure to cope with sharpie. increases in covered 19 deaths earlier in the pandemic bodies were left on the streets in the it could dorian city . and the symmetries of the brazilian amazon city of man hours overflowed.
5:23 pm
the 2nd wave continues to bite dealing with that is again presenting a huge challenge. there al-jazeera. thousands of people are marching in several cities across from the government bring in ambitious measures to tackle climate change. they say a proposed climate law doesn't go far enough campaigners want any public funds used to support french industry to come with strict ecological conditions and they're pushing for the creation of thousands of jobs as well in the green economy. russia's president vladimir putin has said his country will firmly defend its interests during a show of military strength to mark the 76th victory day this is the anniversary of the soviet defeat of nazi germany putin watched all of its 12000 soldiers and 200 military vehicles in armaments were paraded through red square in moscow
5:24 pm
and a cousin of britain's queen elizabeth the 2nd has reportedly been recorded offering investors access to the kremlin for personal gain the london sunday times in the broadcast on channel 4 say they posed as businessmen in a meeting with prince michael of kent they say he told them he could make quote confidential representation to people close to president putin prince michael's office is that he has had no contact with the russian president or ever since 2003 . janice's the remnants of one of its biggest rockets have landed in the indian ocean after an uncontrolled re-entry into earth's atmosphere coordinates released by the chinese space agency put the landing area just west of the multi-use that's not yet clear whether any debris actually landed on the audience china says most of it burned up through the atmosphere the rocket was called long march 5 it launched 10 days ago carrying part of china's 1st permanent space station nasa has
5:25 pm
criticised beijing for failing to control the debris saying it isn't meeting responsible standards we heard from. earlier who is a senior research fellow at the university of southern queensland's institute for advanced engineering and space sciences he says china is the only country that still allows these uncontrolled re-entries of space junk. large spaces 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 it was broken up into many smaller pieces previously along much 5 babies being reported to have dropped a piece that was 12 metres 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 back down 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
5:26 pm
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 the actual space station with the launching or i would get more of that into orbit for a lesser cost both in mass and dollars and the result is of course that we have this one base left over after that for example he likes basics or of course real landing everything so that you 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 hopefully it won't be continuing in this line. from the start chile which exports most of the world's alginate or alchemize or if you want to say that's found in brown seaweed and is used in many products
5:27 pm
including cosmetics it grows in these underwater forests off shows coastline but as the sea in yemen now reports from. it's now endangered use of a growing black market illegal harvesting. added lentz it's obvious the planet earth is more water than land. but if there are at 1st it looks like there's nothing but underneath there is extraordinary biodiversity one trunk of our can sustain more than $400.00 species there are snails sea urchins and then many it's where life begins to call these our map grow algae forests as indispensable for our survival as those that grow above ground through photosynthesis they absorb just as much c o 2 gas and together with phytoplankton and sea grass they produce nearly half of our planet's oxygen and they're also like nurseries for small fish to find shelter
5:28 pm
from predators. along 2000 kilometers of chile's pacific coast these forests can grow 40 metres high and live for up to 25 years but they are in danger i thought marcus on the road access there are areas especially in the north where the algae is being extracted indiscriminately. killing other muslims almost every day maybe a campus walks on to the edge of these rocks to catch a needle as it's called in chile it's hard work but it's escalating price has allowed her to send her 3 children to university. these widows are are drying out here so that they can then be taken off to be sold and why is this algae in such high commercial demand because they are the source of alginate you probably have never heard of it but believe me you have consumed it this is making your car's
5:29 pm
dashboard into the most expensive type this variety is used for making green. and this one called the black widow is used in making the plastics that we use practically every day. it's also used widely in the cosmetic industry from here it's taken to a processing plant to be chopped and shipped primarily to china and japan chile produces 40 percent of the world's alginate but much of it is harvested illegally and media companies says she only takes what the ocean throws out in the thick of it all this is what we call the head of the tree the ocean to root out to shore because it was no longer needed this isn't the same we're all that the boat extracts the fisherman dive cut it off from the head and kill it. licensed fishermen are allowed to rip out the algae a technique that was illegal until 1980. last year 500 tons were exported
5:30 pm
half of it harvested without authorization in a thriving black market. chillies long coastline makes it difficult to police but there are other ways to help turn the tide like a system for example from sitting or regrowth so that there is still a bottom of the box in the wall or. it requires an investment yes but employing science to counter the depletion of natural species has already become a necessity so that as darwin once said we don't all perish you see in human al-jazeera peachey coolie cheney. top boss they are and these are the top stories another nice of violence in occupied east jerusalem outside alex a mosque compound partly started by palestinians being evicted to make way for
5:31 pm
israeli settlers but israel's prime minister has firmly rejected the pressure not to build let's hear now from prime minister netanyahu is defined despite a growing international condemnation over the crackdown against power.
