our answers after an activist is shot dead on the streets of karbala funerals are held for young students killed in bomb blasts outside a school in kabul. and after parliamentary elections in scotland the divisive issue of independence from england looms large once again. international condemnation of israel is growing over the forced evictions of palestinians from their homes in occupied east jerusalem the us national security advisor jake sullivan is raising concerns about the violence against protesters angry over palestinians being removed to make way for jewish settlers in chapter are the united nations security council has called an emergency meeting the u.s. and the european union are appealing for restraint after days of violence there. an

uneasy calm sunday night hasn't seen any major fighting palestinians say they'll remain defiant on sunday israel's supreme court delayed a decision on forcibly evicted palestinians in church giraffe but prime minister binyamin netanyahu says he's determined to push the plan through well get u.s. reaction with gabriel as on though in washington d.c. shortly but 1st here's harry forces with the situation 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 in the occupied east jerusalem neighborhood of shesher are where palestinian families face a dictionary and a 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 is 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 what 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 on the reaction

from the biden administration. 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 his rig israeli counterpart and according to a readout from the white house about that call sullivan told that his or israeli counterpart to 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. p.j. crowley was senior director of public affairs for the united states national security council he joins us on skype from alexandria virginia good to have you with us so the administration is now speaking out about the situation but it

doesn't mean i think it's i'd say very diplomatically active why. well 1st of all the bottom astray she has only been in office for nearly 100 days and oversee the pandemic both in its domestic warmups national form and state prior takes priority over almost any other issue but i also think that if you step back the fighting ministration inherits. 'd the lowest level of us our israeli palestinian relations in probably at least 15 years and so i think its focus right now is just trying to prevent the situation from going back to what. given some of the campaign pledges which biden made to a stall and emphasize more human rights and u.s. foreign policy do you think that we will see more of an active role. and see some of those promises put into effect when it comes to the palestinian

israeli issue. i think over time the answer would be yes. you know the united states under the part of the restoration is trying to rebuild relations that ground to a halt. between united states and the palestinian authority during the trunk years and obviously we've got political uncertainty on both sides we're waiting to see after this most recent israeli election who will govern the country going forward and what what they will do about you know what used to call the peace process although it's been more of a you know for a number of years and there are the or should questions on the palestinian side as well as to whether they will go ahead with elections here in the near future or not but i think that the finding mr asian has to give time for new leadership to potentially emerge see how they see the current state of this really how skinny are

relations and then try to fashion a strategy going forward so i think this will take some time to develop. how concerned do you think meanwhile the u.s. policymakers might be by international public opinion seeing what you described as sort of the let's wait and see approach but seeing that as the u.s. not being very active in championing want is to many a human rights issue according to the u.n. to east jerusalem is all compiled these ready courts don't have jurisdiction then in population transfers and eviction of families are illegal. well i think in just the last few hours the fact that the supreme court has postponed a hearing on this issue i think that reflects you know there are legal questions involved in this issue there are significant political questions involved in this issue and the government wants to give time for us really is to think your out you know who will lead them going forward what their policy is going to be and then i

think you'll see you'll be the united states will be in a position to act accordingly how much tension is there between the by then ministration more progressive elements do you think in the democratic party have been more vocal on implementing human rights values when it comes to the israeli palestinian issue. i think it's a mix you know joe klein and benjamin netanyahu know each other well you know why the same token you know president biden who remembers very well in 2015 on a different issue you know we're benjamin netanyahu came to washington you know to lobby against the iran nuclear deal and still opposed that nuclear deal a very significant by the administration priority you know at the present time now so i don't think this relationship you know is going to be as close as we've seen in the past between american presidents and israeli prime ministers i think that's

why by having a strange who is giving some time for politics both on the israeli side and the palestinian side to want to settle settle in and then try to figure out what it can accomplish in this very very complex very very difficult environment thank you feel full sun analysis p.j. crowley about to welcome. israel is facing mounting international criticism over its heavy police response and the planned evictions and giraffe people in the u.k. gathered across london manchester and birmingham in solidarity with the palestinians who are out on the streets calling for sanctions against israel pope francis addressed the violence in the 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 larry political posts you only 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 multicultural i do to you the holy city is respected and brotherhood can prevail violence only breeds violence stop the clashes saying with that story i spoken exclusively with iraq's prime minister most often call them in baghdad he says the palestinian people have the legal right to stay in church or are you could take heed 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 demanding answers after an anti-government activists was shot dead in an apparent exit q shouldn't so forces of the habit of the iranian consulate on fire iranian backed disastrous bank would

have been behind the shooting there was and he was killed close to his home by gunman the early hours of sunday. and he's one of more than 30 activists killed in iraq since the beginning of large scale anti-government protests in october 2019 so no faulting reports 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 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 habs 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 the mic came to power almost a year ago he promised the rain was ruled that acted outside of the state's control and to bring those responsible for that that the protesters and activists

who are counted but only a handful of iran have been made and no one has. and so the killings and the funerals go on the protestors drove me 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 dared to speak on camera in fear they might be next some expect violence to further flare ahead of 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 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 in the future similar 14 al-jazeera caterpillar. at least 25 people are reported to have been killed after a bus was hit a bus was hit by a landmine in afghanistan it happened on the kabul kandahar highway in zabul province local officials say women and children are among the casualties but taliban has announced a 3 day cease fire in afghanistan during the muslim festival of evil for this week comes 2 days after the government blamed the group for an attack outside a school which killed more than 50 people in funerals have been held for victims of that attack it happened in a predominantly shia neighborhood of the afghan capital just as pupils were leaving at the end of the day syria contra for he has more from kabul. most of the debris is outside this girl's school may be gone but not the anger and grief among 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 a 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 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.

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. so i had an al-jazeera street celebrations in spain as people enjoy some long awaited freedoms. hello we have the threat of severe storms across the u.s. let me show you exactly where this threat is and where potentially it could spawn a tornado as we head toward texas louisiana mississippi arkansas rate through into alabama and the carolinas where we could see drenching rain and even hail as this

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 in my experience of talking to people locally and the idea of a hard border is completely unworkable and nothing scotland is so in twined this part of the u.k. it's. a 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 frontline of wars between scotland
