now all jews are. growing anger over the planned evictions of palestinian families in occupied east jerusalem a court defers its decision for 30 days. hello i'm maryam namazie in london you're watching al-jazeera as a coming on the program in afghanistan funerals are held for the victims of bomb blasts at a kabul school most of those killed were young girls. restrictions in

india to slow the spread of the coronavirus experts argue only a nationwide lockdown would break the chain of transmission also. this analogy is used in part because we consume every day but it's also one of the most important sources of oxygen for our planet and it's in danger. hello welcome to the program we begin in occupied east jerusalem where of the days of escalating violence israel's supreme court has delayed monday's hearing on the planned forced evictions of palestinian families from land that claimed by jewish settlers 4 families have resisted a court order to leave their homes in the neighborhood their fate has fuelled growing protests in recent days of violence has also centered on the i like some mosque compound in occupied east jerusalem these were the scenes on saturday during

islam's holiest night in the month of ramadan israeli police who said they were acting in the interests of security beat palestinian protesters dozens of people including children were injured but israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu remains defiant despite international condemnation of the escalating violence and has vowed to restore law and order and says that plans to build in occupied east jerusalem will. and doc if we also firmly reject the pressure not to build in jerusalem tomorrow recreate these pressures have been increasing of light or so to the best of africans tourism is israel's capital and just as every nation builds and its capital and builds up its capital we also have the right to build in jerusalem and to build up to research on that is what we have done and that is what we will continue to do. that's now speak to a force that is at damascus gate in occupied east jerusalem and so just just tell

us what you've been seeing and hearing there for the past few hours harry. we are still see evening so far at least is less tense than it was at this time on saturday night we have seen a few very young largely palestinian children use trying to sort of demolish some of the barricades that these ready security forces set up along the roadway that was the only time really that we've seen much an intervention from those security forces they moved in and cleared them away without firing the the water cannon we've heard a couple of stun grenades in the distance but certainly compared to the kind of actions that we saw from the israeli side on saturday night things do seem to be reduced so there's a potential sign that there is an effort at the escalation on the west and certainly there are fewer numbers on the palestinian side as well we should emphasize as for this very important court case hearing that was judge ruled for

monday the supreme court of israel was to decide whether to hear the appeal by the families of chefs are are or reject it so we're never going to get a decision to uphold their appeal but it was possible that the eviction order could have been enforced from any time then on which the family brought in to the discussion the attorney general they have sought the attorney. general visual to be a party to this legal proceeding he is said that he now has to put this off the court has to put us off by 30 days or us or i pull out as the court has said that to put the hearing off by 30 days while this is assessed and so it could well be that this delay is even longer than 30 days so there's an opportunity at least for some breathing space however there is also the prospect of jerusalem day march is what we see religious nationalist israelis marching through the old city that is

judge will still for monday another potential flashpoint. rights so the perspiring end of this decision how could that affect the atmosphere there already we've seen some of my serious scenes of unrest that the pats we've seen fair quite a while could it could it diffuse that sense of tension or or add to the frustration. that is the the question that we're waiting to have answered obviously there is the case to be made that this is a considerable achievement for the protests that they have contrary to what the israeli foreign ministry was saying the other day that this is a private real estate dispute between 2 private parties they have involved it's only general they have had an official decision made with you know organs of the israeli justice system involved to delay this in a pretty clear admission or or

a tacit one at least that they need to try and calm the situation so that is an achievement for the protesters however it is far from victory this is a delay of the potential outcome and so it could leave room for this campaign to continue these protests to continue certainly when in the beginning near the beginning of ramadan when they removed the barriers from damascus gate behind us it did ease the situation a bit they were celebrates 3. events going on here at the same time it was a potential for them for the protest to say yes we have actually achieved something let's push on and try to achieve more so things could swing either way. thank you very much there is for some hurry for separating us the latest. well protest as across the world are calling for an end to the occupation of palestine these were the scenes in neighboring jordan where people rallied outside the embassy in the capital amman several demonstrators were detained by security forces and then here

in the u.k. protesters gathered to in london manchester and birmingham calling for sanctions against israel and pope francis addressed the violence in occupied east jerusalem as well sharing his sunday message from the vatican says the multi religious identity of the holy city must be respected say welcome but if you go to political posts i am following with particular concern the events that are happening in jerusalem i pray that it will be a place of an encounter and not a violent clashes a place of prayer and peace i invite everyone to sic she had solutions so that the multi religious and multi cultural identity of the holy city is respected and brotherhood can prevail violence only breeds violence stop the clashes. well now funerals have been held for the victims of 3 explosions outside a school in afghanistan the attack happened in

a predominantly shia area of the afghan capital at the said the show had their school and the dash to the neighborhood no group has claimed responsibility but the government has accused the taliban of being behind the bombings the taliban claims it was i still the attack took place just as children were leaving school at the end of the day the new controversy has more from the capital kabul. most of the debris is outside this girl's school may be gone but not the anger and grief among the people of. dozens of students mostly girls who were killed as they were leaving school 3 bomb blasts cutting their lives short. whoever comes in commits an act of terror should be prevented and punished and no other group conduct such kind of criminal activities in the future the security forces come to the scene after the attack and create more chaos that will never help prevent such brutal attacks witnesses say the attack appeared well coordinated and intended to kill as

many children as possible this is the school's gate and the girls were coming out a car bomb and 2 id's exploded almost back to back in 3 different parts of the road outside the school. the taliban has denied responsibility and blamed. the government says the taliban is behind the attack there are more than 20 groups operating in afghanistan peace talks between the taliban and the afghan government are at an impasse and some analysts say even if they reach a peace deal stability in the country is not guaranteed now the time when the taliban are not blaming the responsibility for such attacks this means that other actors involved in of on is the one who has the capacity of challenging the state and the stability and peace of honest sun which again means that the international

community is leaving an unfinished chapter behind the attack was carried out as violence is rising across the country and foreign troops look to complete their withdrawal in the coming months as our ethnic minority lives in the neighborhood and has been repeatedly attacked in recent years its members have called. the government to protect them. has claimed several of the attacks. we will investigate and find the perpetrators working very hard should be brought to justice but justice has rarely been served to the victims of the many attacks. and so once more they bury their dead and pray for the carnage to end. al-jazeera. there are fears that a 1000000 indians could have died from 1000 by the month of august the forecast

india's steep rise in infections and are worried about their potential impact on vaccines one that was 1st identified in india the 1617 is likely to be a variant of concern because it has some mutations which increase transmission and which also potentially could make them resistant to and to bodies 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 it. which were not able to do right now was able to break the chain after a month of lockdown. people are scrambling to get appointments to be vaccinated as

have been assassinated by unknown gunmen $81.00 attends so this is just one killing amid a series of targeted killings aimed at civil society activists aimed at protest leaders in an effort to really crack down on this movement now we spoke to was in this family the family home is right here next to me and what we understand what happened is that as he was coming home last night 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 they 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 our collimated 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. me and maz military is designated a rival shadow government a terrorist group is blaming the national unity government for carrying out bombings arson and killings the unity government made up of the exiled politicians announced a so-called people's defense force to protect civilians from the military that defense forces also have been branded a terrorist group by the chanter a local monitoring group says more than 770 people have been killed in the army's crackdown on demonstrators and protesters are continuing their rallies though in defiance of the crackdown in the city of yangon dozens of young people from

they are standing up against that military officials we geve this terrorizing you know committing brutal crimes against humanity every day and every part of the past as you see that and you see governments there exult go examine their within burma they are hiding and their communication with each other yet trying their best to serve the people so we understand they have in mind so challenges but the point here is what about the international community you know we are we sir we only have to have a lip service from international community yes we see that there are sanctions are going on as some pressure is going on on the on the military but we needed tangible . you know effective support for this and huge government and people those who are supporting supportive of the people you know not to overthrow the brutal regime. allen main segment of the chinese rocket long bartsch 5 b. is finally returned to splashing down in the maldives early on sunday rockets
