now international condemnation of israel is growing over the forced evictions of palestinians from their homes in occupied east jerusalem the u.s. national security adviser jake sullivan is raising concerns about the violence against protesters angry over palestinians being removed to make way for jewish settlers and. the united nations security council is called an emergency meeting the u.s. and the european union are peeling for restraint after days of violence there is an uneasy calm sunday night hasn't seen any major fighting indians say they'll remain defiant on sundays for a supreme court delayed a decision on forcibly evict him palestinians and shift there are prime minister binyamin netanyahu says he's determined to push the plan through the u.s. reaction with gabriel amazon though in washington d.c.

shortly but 1st here's harry forsett with 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 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 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 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 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 girard 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 the international reaction to events in the occupied east jerusalem is extending to the u.k. people gathered across london manchester and birmingham in solidarity with palestinians they were out on the streets calling for sanctions against israel. 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 she will convert to go to any political post unit 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. staying with that story are just syria has spoken exclusively with iraq's prime minister most awful call them in baghdad he says the palestinian people have the right to stay and sure. you 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 and 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 shin supporters of. the iranian consulate on fire iranian backed fighters are suspected of being behind the shooting was and he was killed close to his home by gunmen in the early hours

scream the man who once stood by you help 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 is one of 34 activists assassinated since protests 1st began in october 21000 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 most the fall of kabul we came to power almost a year ago he promised the regime and the rubes that acted outside of the state's control and to bring those responsible for the that the protesters and activists to account but only a handful of iran have been made and no. one has been the victim and so the

killings and the funerals go on the protesters drove the haps body to calabar central square once packed with crowds railing for a cause but after the movement crumbled i mean 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 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

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 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 conflicts help that increase over the past few months. border crossings have been closed due to the coronavirus pandemic now if you. don't venture far from this area in a place called. 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 and my village and. in late november sudan you have to take over 3000 square kilometer region in the state. that sudan claims under colonial agreements 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 forces are now also combating an increase in smuggling of weapons to borders of 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 tend to the refugees 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 any repercussions on their lives and their future he will morgan al-jazeera. well still ahead on al-jazeera we'll be live from india with the daily number of infections this fall and there are fears the death toll could top 1000000 by all of us.

hello across the middle east we have seen flooding toward a huge swath of afghanistan into northeastern portions of iran let me get you the totals so far that we've seen keep in mind we're just about 910 days into may and already for northeastern iran 7 times what you would see for the entire month of may part of the issue is this rain is falling in the mountains it's draining off the mountains into tributaries that's rising water levels and on monday unfortunately looks like a raid across iran we do have rain in the mountains and also some pockets of heavy rain towards northern areas of afghanistan ok let me take you to the mediterranean where temperatures have been warm they're coming down a bit for example in stamboul but still on tallia 29 degrees in nicosia cyprus a high of 32 on monday for central areas of africa at this very wet weather towards southern somalia is starting to move offshore this is the direction of the wind

that we see as monsoon season starts and it will steer those heavy rains toward india otherwise have been getting some pretty good downpours toward areas of south sudan it's beginning to dry out toward the western cape and for stress by where we saw that heavy rain dry conditions so we look nearby to cape town plenty of sun and average temperatures. from the north of africa they crossed the mediterranean and they didn't hold. building new future in a secular. and the lines of france's 2021 contentious so-called separatism as we look back at the history of muslim immigration to the country in a 3 part series muslims of france episode 2 on al-jazeera.

org. the order. welcome back you're watching around the syria time to recap the headlines the u.s. national security adviser is expressing concern about violent confrontations between israeli forces and palestinians in occupied east jerusalem as tension over the potential evictions of palestinians from the shift of our neighborhood to make way for illegal settlers. in the u.k. people have gathered in london manchester and birmingham to show solidarity with palestinians calling for sanctions against israel. protesters in the iraqi city of karbala are demanding answers after an anti-government activists was shot dead in

an apparent execution supporters of we have always me said the rainy and consulate on fire iranian backed fi suspect of being behind the shooting. the daily number of corona virus infections in india has fallen below 400000 for the 1st time in 5 days this is according to official figures more than 3700 people lost their lives in the past 24 hours which is again slightly lower than the fatalities reported the day before but on sunday u.k. medical journal the lancet is warning the total death toll could reach a 1000000 by august have them into our ports from new delhi. mass cremations like this are becoming common in india these family members have been waiting for hours to see a dead final goodbyes to their loved ones but in many ways they don't you don't go to the front. does b.c. he was my relative and his name was reject. he had 19 for last 10 days and was

admitted to a play written hospital last evening he got a bed until hospital here he was 35 years old and has 2 young children and he passed away this morning his wife is 30 years old me no one play such a tragedy ever excel. many experts believe new strains of the virus are behind india's steep rise in infections and are worried about the 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 your patients 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 lockdown is in adequate. that. the situation is really bad the problem is that the lockdown is not strict enough if the lockdown with stricter we probably would have been able to bring the change which were not able to do right now maharashtra was able to break the chain after a month of lockdown. people ask rambling to get appointments to be vaccinated as states reported doses are in short supply the government in new delhi has also 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 week pottymouth the al-jazeera. elizabeth problem joins us now live from new delhi so elizabeth as i say the numbers are below 400000 can we read too much about. how low sammy no we can't read too much into that and that is because tests were also down

there were 400000 fewer tests conducted on sunday than they were on saturday and because it's taking so many days to get results at the moment in most parts of the country because labs the so overloaded that number of new daily infections isn't an accurate picture of the number of people who have tested positive the day before it's most likely people who tested positive many days ago the overall situation in the country that we're seeing is that places like maharashtra which were the worst affected for the longest time the entire time of the pandemic and again in the 2nd wave who hit. early on and who have had very strict restrictions for the past 4 weeks we are starting to see cases come down and now over the last weeks now that we can say that maharashtra might have might is starting to plateau but we're cases are coming down in some places like my last year there is certainly going up and

others worryingly in the southern state of karnataka which had more than 40000 new infections on sunday where one in 3 people testing for the virus have it the state of punjab has said that it is reaching and oxygen emergency is asking the central government to increase the allocation of oxygen send more oxygen because the needs are going up so much we have more restrictions coming into place and places again like not they have suspended all public transport they're only allowing private vehicles to get essential supplies or for emergencies here in deady case is also the lowest they've been since april say april the 12th but testing. has also been low so we won't read too much into that yet that is why the delhi government has also imposed tighter restrictions closing down of the metro and these states are trying to do what maharashtra did all of those really strict restrictions to try

and bring down the number of cases also a bit of controversy going on about vaccinations why. yet the controversy over vaccinations doesn't seem to end in india the supreme court is continuing to hear about the government's vaccine policy including why it's allowing vaccine manufacturers to charge completely different prices to the central government to state governments and to private hospitals the government expanded the vaccination program to include everyone about the age of 18 from the start of may but they aren't enough doses it told states to make its own arrangements with vaccine manufacturers and the people who are campaigning for more equitable access to vaccines say that allowing vaccines opening them up to the free market is going to divert vaccines to private hospitals and individuals who can pay for them and not to those who can't. thanks so much elizabeth around

scotland's 1st minister nicola sturgeon is demanding a 2nd referendum on leaving the united kingdom pro independence parties one of majority in scottish parliamentary elections but the u.k. government firmly remains opposed to the move down the hall reports there might be change coming down the track from edinburgh to london shaking the times 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 the 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 in twined this

part of 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 consequences. in the fishing port of i mouth boat surtitles post breaks it rules
