international condemnation of israel is growing over the forced evictions of palestinians from their homes in occupied east jerusalem but u.s. national security adviser jake sullivan has raised concerns about the violence against protesters who are angry of a palestinians being removed to make way for jewish settlers in shape gerar well the united nations security council has called an emergency meeting the u.s. and the european union have appealed for restraint after days of violence there is now an uneasy calm sunday night hasn't seen any major fighting palestinians say they will state defiant on sunday israel's supreme court delayed a decision on forcibly evicted palestinians in shape but prime minister benjamin netanyahu says he's determined to push the plan through we'll get the u.s. reaction with gable as from washington d.c. shortly but 1st here's how to force it with a look at the situation at damascus gate. so another night of tension here in

occupied east jerusalem this is what we've been seeing a pattern throughout the night every now and again israeli security forces moving in to clear certain areas around damascus gate so far the clashes the skirmishes tonight have been less intense than they were over the last couple of days certainly of what we saw on saturday night was a good deal more intense in terms of physical violence however there have been uses of the skunk water cannon the chemical waste water cannon to clear areas as well as repeated use of stun grenades as well the driver of much of this continues to be the situation of the occupied east jerusalem neighborhood of shesher are where palestinian families face it action and court case which was due to take place on monday to hear whether the appeal of some of those families would be heard that has now been put off for at least 30 days that does give the opportunity for some

respite some breathing space of more pushing over here some respite some breathing space but as you can see it still remains tense this campaign could continue and as well as that on monday we have one jewish israelis call jerusalem day when right wing religious nationalists most of them marched through the muslim quarter of the old city waving israeli flags chanting singing and shouting there are questions as to whether these really screwed forces will allow that to go ahead in the same way as it has traditionally if it does that's another real potential flashpoint. has more now from washington d.c. . you're getting a sense that here in washington that there is growing concern about the situation there in israel that we've been seeing over the last few days. biden's national security adviser jake so often had a call on sunday with israel israeli counterpart and according to a readout from the white house about that call sullivan told his or israeli

counterpart that the u.s. is very concerned about the violence that is taking place he said that there are serious concerns about the violent confrontations and that the u.s. wants to ensure colm and deescalate tensions and promote deescalation violence that we've been seeing also soul of in telling israeli officials that the u.s. it has serious concerns and according to the readout from the white house about the potential palestinian evictions palestinian families from their land in their homes in the shade neighborhood and he said that there are he expressed that to the israeli officials that that the u.s. has some serious concerns about that what was not part of this readout or at least what was not laid out in this readout from the call was any direct condemnation of israel's actions by the united states at least not from this readout clearly israel

is a very strong ally of the united states and whenever we've seen situations like this the u.s. usually treads very lightly when it comes to any sort of condemnation when it comes to any violence there but israel is facing mounting international criticism over its heavy police response on the plan defections from sheds are off people in the u.k. have gathered across london manchester and birmingham in solidarity with the palestinians they've been out on the streets calling for sanctions against israel. and pope francis addressed the violence in occupied east jerusalem during his sunday message from the vatican he called on israel to respect the multi religious identity of the city say welcome but if you go that it will place you in it 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 priya and pace on violent if we want to say that 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 with my model kurt is a writer and poet the video of his sister confronting a jewish settler went viral this week speaking from a protest in nazareth he said palestinians are under constant attack. and i knew that he in the neighborhood continued. to day invaders our neighbor's house house they invaded and they had bags of clothes they had been present at that palestinian resident to day and 5 minutes away from the neighborhood. near the hebrew university so we are under the constant threat of that lower violence in jerusalem because that's what happens when you put sellers in a palestinian neighborhood they abuse their indigenous people this is a very tiresome situation it's a very sleepy sleep was the phrase time but it's also i think you a sense that we have been 49 years in clinton 73 there's a big gun crime in our land. and we know that we must be persistent and we must be

resilient because they're not the best happens in small doses and no matter how long the law gave this process we're going to fight this because these are our home . well staying with that story al jazeera has spoken exclusively with iraq's prime minister mustapha hard to me in baghdad he's weighed in on the issue and backs the notion that the palestinian people have the legal right to stay in shape giraffe could take heede a lot in. iraq to notice all the crimes of the palestinian people and the prevention of the muslim community to access their holy sites and protecting the palestinian neighborhoods that historically belong to them it should be protected and defended protesters in the iraqi city of karbala are demanding answers after an anti government activist was shot dead in an apparent execution supporters of it was me set the iranian consulate on fire iranian backed fighters are suspected of being behind the shooting. was killed close to his home by gunmen in the early

hours of sunday. well he is one of more than 30 activists killed in iraq since the beginning of large scale anti-government protests back in october 29th seen some of the fault and 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 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 enough of 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 a harp 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 the rain and was ruled that acted outside of the state's control and to bring those responsible for the deaths of protesters and activists to account but only a handful of iraqis have been made and no one. and so the killings and the

funerals go on the protestors drove the haps body to catalyst central square once packed with crowds railing for a cause but after the movement crumbled i mean the repression they mostly just gathered to mourn the last few here dare to speak on camera in fear they might be next some expect violence to further flare and head 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 they think the october protestors will compete for their power to bring about change that's why they're targeting the activist and today he have paid the price. the prime minister promised justice and ordered and wiring but none of these investigations have borne fruit in the past leaving little hope for accountability

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 claiming responsibility for such attacks this means that there are other actors involved in of on is the one who has the capacity of challenging the state and the stability and peace of understand 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 hazaar ethnic minority lives in the neighborhood and has been repeatedly attacked in recent years its members have called on the government. i saw has claimed several of the attacks.

minister nicola sturgeon is demanding a 2nd referendum on leaving the united kingdom pro independence parties won a majority in scottish parliamentary elections but the u.k. government remains firmly opposed to the move the renewed debate on independence could mean years of potential instability and that's particularly the case along scotland's border with england is john the hope that there might be change coming down the track from edinburgh to london shaking the ties that have found 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 wants and my experience of talking to people locally and the idea of a hard border is completely unworkable and i think scotland is so intertwined

despite the u.k. . separation we just build 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 front line the 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
