and there is a original set to psychs because it's at those borders were drawn without consulting the people who have to live with the. psych speak of lines in the sand on al-jazeera. the. israel supremes court delays a decision on the eviction of 4 palestinian families a case that continues to fuel anger in east jerusalem. and though i'm maryam namazie in london you're watching al-jazeera also coming up on the program in afghanistan funerals are held for the victims of bomb blast at a kabul school most of those killed were young girls as anger on the streets of

karbala in iraq after the killing of another anti-government activist and the restrictions in india to slow the spread of the coronavirus but experts say only a nationwide lockdown will break the chain of transmission. welcome to the program after days of escalating violence in occupied east jerusalem israel supremes court has agreed to delay monday's hearing on the planned forced eviction of palestinians from land claimed by jewish settlers before families of resisted a court order to leave their homes in the neighborhood and their fate has been fueling growing protests in recent days crowds are once again gathered close to the some mosque with police using water cannons to disperse them israeli security forces of violently crack down on these protests over the past couple of days with dozens of palestinians injured since police stormed the mosque compound on friday

or protests have also been taking place in the neighborhood itself which lies north of the old city this is where the forced evictions of palestinians achieved take place and it's been another flashpoint for protests. now speak with harry force it is that damascus gate in occupied east jerusalem and it looks as though people have left the area for the day but just tell us what's been happening throughout the day whilst you've been there. that's right it's been a nights of sort of fairly sustained on and off clashes skirmishes between palestinian protesters and israeli security forces but one of less intensity than what we saw on saturday certainly there have been instances of indeed looks like a another mine a little disturbance there have been instances of palestinian youths especially

throwing water bottles at israeli police sometimes slightly more other different objects as world pieces of wood stones and to a large extent there has been a pretty obvious change in approach by the israeli security forces they haven't been immediately coming in with the same kind of force that we saw on saturday when they were scuffling people to the ground and beating them as they held them down it's been largely written restrains to using the very unpleasant skunk water from the water cannon and fairly liberal use of stun grenades as well but certainly it's not as intense the numbers are fewer and so given that there has been this delayed to this very potentially critical court decision on monday when if they had ruled against hearing the appeal of the 4 families who have been appealing against

eviction instead then that would have pretty much inactive the of action order straight away that could have been a real tinderbox moment for this city and there is another issue on monday as well that of the jerusalem day march when especially religious nationalist israelis march through the old city waving flags chanting if they come up against a significant group of palestinian protesters that could be very dangerous as well so we wait to see if there are restrictions imposed by the israeli security forces in order to try and head that off before it takes place. what's the political reaction brain friend. the prime minister benjamin netanyahu. will listen you know is in a very difficult position right now he is facing the biggest threat of his political career to losing a certain his 2nd stint in office to losing his premiership the the

coalition that is now negotiating against him does seem to making some progress and so he is in a position where he is being. saying that israel maintains its rights to build wherever it wants to in its unified capital as the israeli government and israeli policy maintains that jerusalem is of course for palestinians in the occupied east this is their city that is under military occupation he has talked about enforcing law and order he has talked about freedom of worship being maintained of course what we saw on saturday was buses being intercepted on the routes into jerusalem israeli police saying that they were trying to target specific individuals i was questioned but unless. some more broken glass or people running again again some clashes but bit of a much more minor nature than what we saw on saturday so as far as i'm concerned he

is trying to say that he is maintaining access to this muslim holy sites the alexa mosque jury the month of ramadan while the same time trying to defend the practices and what we've been seeing from the security forces in these recent days all right thank you very slim harry for separating us the latest there from damascus gate and also been protests taking place in ramallah in the occupied west bank in support of palestinians there in east jerusalem need to eb ram has more on that now. freedom for sure start off this is one of the slogans that palestinians are chanting here in the protest in ramallah city these protesters have said that they wanted to show solidarity with palestinians in east jerusalem because not many of them can access it for palestinians they need a permit from israel to be able to cross the checkpoints into the holy city and for many of them they haven't been able to do so but still jerusalem remains crompton

center when it comes to the palestinian struggle for freedom and independence and having a state with east jerusalem as its capital we've spoken to some of these protesters who say that they want the palestinian authority to do much more to support the people in jerusalem and they say they were frustrated by the palestinian decision to delay the palestinian elections they were the 1st in 15 years if they were going to be held by the and of may and the if the reason why they were delayed is because the palestinian president said that israel didn't give a positive ounce or when it comes to holding these elections in jerusalem so palestinians here want to send the message that they are with palestinians in east jerusalem even though they can't be there with them physically.

now funerals have been held for the victims of 3 explosions outside a school in afghanistan the attack happened in a predominantly shia neighborhood of the afghan capital just as the pupils were leaving their classes at the end of the day for your controversy has more now 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 as

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 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 the other actors involved in of arm is the one who has the capacity of challenging the state and the stability and peace of honest them 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 has our ethnic minority lives in the neighborhood and has been repeatedly attacked in recent years its members have called on the government. 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. well now to developments in iraq protesters have set fire to the iranian consulate in the city of karbala they're angry about the killing of a prominent activist

a was me he's one of more than 30 activists killed in iraq since the beginning of large scale anti-government protests in october $21000.00 which called for an end to corruption foreign interference and a new political order so manifold to reports now from karbala. that agonizing wait for the body of a loved one this is the family of a was in the a well known organizer in iraq's anti-government protest movement he was shot dead of the night before just outside his home in iraq's southern city of karbala he had his mother told al-jazeera he had received numerous threats from paramilitary groups backed by iran the militias are everywhere in the streets they have a list which includes the names of all the activists they will kill them one by one today they killed my son and soon they'll kill another the funeral procession arrived in the scorching afternoon heat their religious punctuated with desperate

cries for survival. the parties are killing us screamed the man who once stood by you hop side in cabinets protest squares demanding change but is anyone listening inside the haps family said their final goodbye their anger directed at both the killers and the government who failed to protect him are looked at with we don't trust the government and we don't trust this political process if there is to be justice there should be an international investigation he is one of 34 activists assassinated since protests 1st began in october 29000 according to iraq's human rights commission a 3rd were killed after a new government was formed in may 2020 promising to end impunity when prime minister mostafa out of kabul may came to power almost a year ago. he promised to rein in armed groups that acted outside of the state's control to bring those responsible for the deaths of protesters and activists to

our count but only a handful of my arrests have been made and no one has been convicted and so the killings and the funerals go on the protestors drove body to care about our central square once packed with crowds railing for a cause but after the movement crumbled amid brutal repression they mostly just gather to mourn the last few here dare to speak on camera in fear they might be next some expect violence to further flare ahead of october elections. these assassinations don't come out of nowhere they are organized it's linked to the elections that have been set for next october and all these politicians are scared i think the october protesters will compete for their power to bring about change that's why they're targeting the activist and today he has paid the price. the prime minister promised justice and ordered wiring but none of these investigations have borne fruit in the past leaving little hope for accountability in the future

similar 14 al-jazeera. or in an interview with the talk to al-jazeera program iraq's prime minister most of them he says he's taking action to ensure the victims' families receive justice. also that these assessor nations took place during my term and before they have been happening for a long time now however we arrested several groups the notorious death squads and does or who were responsible for the killing of several journalists and activists teams of them are currently in custody the government is committed to its responsibilities and has 0 tolerance for such crimes. so i had for you on the program is the united kingdom about to run off the rails election result see a fresh push for scottish. independence. and a chinese rocket crashes safely back to us but critics on the the space agency gambled got lucky.

but we also leave economic justice for the workers studio unscripted. welcome back on a main stories now after days of escalating violence in occupied east jerusalem israel supreme court has agreed to delay monday's hearing on the plan 4th division of palestinian families from the chef john neighborhood. funerals have been held for the victims of 3 explosions outside a school in afghanistan at least 50 people maybe schoolgirls were killed when the bombs were set off in a predominately shia neighborhood and called bull. test as an iraqi city of karbala

are demanding answers after an anti government activist was shot dead in an apparent execution alba i was me was killed close to his home in the early hours of sunday morning by unknown gunmen. now to india because there are fears that a 1000000 people could have died from it 19 by august the bleak forecast comes from the university of washington's institute for health metrics and evaluation british medical journal the lancet says if that happens prime minister narendra modi would be responsible for presiding over what it called a self-inflicted national catastrophe countries already recording the 3rd highest number of $1000.00 deaths in the wild. reports now from me danny. mass cremations like this are becoming common in india these family members have been waiting for our was to say their final goodbyes to their loved ones but how

many days didn't you think. he was my relative and his name was. he had covered 19 for the last 10 days and was admitted to a private hospital last evening he got a bed until hospital he was 35 years old and has 2 young children and he passed away this morning his wife is 30 years old may no one face such a tragedy ever accelerator many experts believe new strains of the virus are behind india's steep rise in infections and are worried about their potential impact on vaccines one that was 1st identified in india the b 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 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 lockdown is in adequate. 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 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 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 we partnered with the al-jazeera. meanwhile doctors in sudan are concerned about steadily rising coronavirus infections in 2 regions their cases and deaths have increased in the capital hard to him and in just 0 state

sudan's health minister said the situation is worrying because hospitals are running out of oxygen medicines and equipment have been more than $31000.00 confirmed cases but the government admits the actual numbers a much higher. well now people smuggling between sudan and ethiopia is on the rise despite the border crossings being closed because of a dispute sudan has long been a transit center for many people hoping to make it to europe in search of a better life sudanese authorities say the conflict in ethiopia is to gray region is leading to many more trying to make that journey. morgan reports now from god or if. this shelter is far from was highly fair and his family had back in their hometown of ethiopia's to green region but when conflict erupted last november hyla says he was forced to abandon all he had and he and his family smuggled themselves into sudan through an unofficial border crossing. i came into

the country at night through the bush there was a form of the border and that's where i stayed for the day sudanese soldiers found me and others who were also escaping to great and brought us to the camp i had hoped to eventually leave and go to another country because i have relatives who've crossed the border before the conflict and they're now in europe and elsewhere but instead we came to the refugee camps the to great conflict is now in its 6 months and has forced more than 63000 people into sudan in search of safety many came through official border crossing points along the sudan if you pay a border during the 1st days of conflict but refugees shortly after the conflict started crossing the border from ethiopia became difficult and smuggling became the safest way to seek refuge in sudan sport estates of. they're not the only ones making the journey hundreds coming each year in search of work borders between sudan and if you were marked out in the early 20th century during british colonial rule despite being drawn on maps the borders between sudan and if you are poorly

defined on the ground in most parts there are no formal barriers to mark where one country and the other begins on the stretches of farmland and while border smuggling is not other factors besides the 2 great conflict helped increase over the past few months. border crossings have been closed due to the coronavirus pandemic now if you who do cross don't venture far from this area in a place called bad it's a new 2 kilometer stretch of land where no paperwork is needed to enter. it's better for me to locate and so that i can communicate with the people and earn money unlike back in my village and. in late november sudan you have to take over a fertile 3000 square kilometer region in the state known as that sudan claims under a colonial agreement dating back to mine 1000 or 2 but ethnic on her farmers from ethiopia say they've been farming it for nearly 5 decades and it belongs to them

local authorities say the situation at the border has also led to a rise in other forms of smuggling. the own forces are now also combating an increase in smuggling of weapons to borders of long being porous and with conflict into gray we find people seeking refuge more often they do that by smuggling across the border and those we detect 100 over to the refugee commission but we need organizations to turn to the refuses otherwise we'll start seeing trafficking of vulnerable refugio hyla says when he was smuggled into sudan he was concerned about the welfare of his family he says he still hopes to relocate his family to a better place but now wants to do it legally by any repercussions on their lives and their future he will morgan al-jazeera the body of now to some news from chad the military has claimed victory in a battle with northern rebels that led to the death of the president idriss deby captured fighters have been paraded in the capital niger mena the military is previously claimed victory only for fighting to then resume president debby's death

last month caused a political crisis in the country and protest after his son mohamed stay be took power he's promised to hold elections after an 18 month transition. now the scottish national party's win in parliamentary elections has put the independence debate back on the table here in the u.k. the british government is firmly opposed to scottish independence but scotland's 1st minister nicola sturgeon is demanding a 2nd referendum on it set the stage for years of debate and potential instability that that's particularly the case along scotland's border with inland from where joan hull reports there might be change coming down the track from edinburgh to london shaking the times that have browned scotland to the united kingdom since the 1700s. in the border regions the scottish national party's electoral reach wanes here specially a vote for scottish independence would have profound consequences basically i think

that the border and both sides of it is almost as one for people in this area separation is absolutely the last thing that people want and my experience of talking to people locally and the idea of a hardboard is completely unworkable and i think scotland is so in twined this part of the u.k. . separation we've just built something absolutely insurmountable problems there are questions about currency and travel but more concerning is trade england accounts for 60 percent of scottish exports the possibility of border controls and trade tariffs could do harm to the economy and there's disquiet on the english side of the border to where the ruins of berrick castle are testament to territory changing hands at least 13 times during the late middle ages the walls of barrack upon tweed were built in the 14th century a great defensive structure for this town on the frontline of wars between scotland

and england for hundreds of years now they'll never be that sort of conflict again of course but what may lie ahead for this border area for these 2 nations are new barriers new defenses are hard border perhaps with deeply uncertain consequences. in the fishing port of i mouth boat surtitles post breaks it rules limit seafood exports to major european union markets a border with england could make matters worse for some here there's only one solution i'm sure some will come in if and yes by and i think it's one thing in the road it's washed now when when when what and direct it because it because we were able to export. products no it's just it's just a name people walk and so forth and obviously the 1st thing that got us started is when f. should go independence when we get back into europe. out of one union and back into

another recognition perhaps that an independent scotland can't afford to be entirely alone the break up if it happens will be hard to turn to in this border region joho al-jazeera the scottish border. thousands of people have been marching in cities across france demanding the government bring in more ambitious measures to tackle climate change. they say a proposed climate law doesn't go far enough campaigners want french industries to be denied support from the government unless they comply with strict ecological conditions and they're pushing for the creation of thousands of jobs in the green economy. now the main segment of the chinese rocket launch 5 b. has finally returned to earth splashing down near the maldives on sunday a rocket orbital track meant it was most likely to fall somewhere between $41.00 and a half degrees north of the equator to $41.00 and

a half degrees south an area bounded by new york and rome and wellington new zealand it's also an area where the vast bulk of the world's population lives it did fall to earth within that window splashing down as hoped in the indian ocean off the coast of the multi-verse but critics say china was lucky nasa administrator bill nelson said china is failing to meet responsible standards regarding their space debris while harvard astrophysicist jonathan mcdowell wrote china won its gamble but it was still reckless or the rockets re entry into the earth's atmosphere over the arabian peninsula was seen from saudi arabia jordan and amman most of the 30 meter long and 5 meter wide core burned up on rianne tree traveling it's an estimated 28000 kilometers per hour. now archaeologists in italy of honor the bones of 90 and a thaw in a cave near the capital rome the remains belong to 7 adult males one female and

a young boy they were uncovered in the atari cave in san feature circa shedding new light on how the italian peninsula was once populated the oldest fossil dates from 100290000 years ago archaeologists believe most of these neanderthals were killed by hyenas and their bodies then dragged back to the cave. to look at the top stories this hour now and after days of escalating violence in occupied east jerusalem israel supremes court has agreed to delay monday's hearing on the plan.
