effects list indian families. international pressure is mounting in response the un security council is planning to discuss the situation later on monday. at least 215 people have been wounded in the latest outbreak of violence in and around the al aqsa mosque compound in occupied east jerusalem. israeli security forces fired tear gas and stun grenades at palestinian protesters from hold storms and other objects in return already simmering tensions are being further inflamed by planned march later on monday by right wing israeli nationalists for an event they call jerusalem day. my

i quote of also been explosions of stun grenades and tear gas inside. so understood that people were staging a sit in process and security forces attempted to clear them. they wanted to guard the mosque ahead of the nationalist march or the palestinian red crescent says its team has been prevented from reaching the compounds with aids 88 p. . will have been taken to hospital 5 nights a hairy fall since he joins us from there. seen those rather alarming pictures of the israeli forces storming the al aqsa mosque just talk us through this morning's events what exactly happens. well we know that there were thousands of people who stayed in the al aqsa mosque compound overnight that is not atypical in the last days of ramadan that people from around

the palestinian israeli towns and also from within east jerusalem will do that but obviously at the moment the state of tension within the old city and within occupied east jerusalem more generally is extremely high there were obviously a lot of israeli security forces massed around the site and something triggered the events that we seeing unfold now the israeli officials israeli security forces a saying that they came that there were rocks thrown at israeli police positions and indeed on to the road around the old city and that is when they moved in we've spoken to one witness who is there at the scene an activist who says that there were israeli security forces with rubber coated steel bullet guns who suddenly appeared and started firing it's not clear precisely whether they were doing so after stone throwing but that is what seems to have been the initial

moments of what then turned into an extremely serious situation in the compound with police coming in in huge numbers firing tear gas is especially into the area around the dome of the rock which is where most of the female worshippers were we've seen stun grenades use of rubber coated steel bullets injuries to the face and the eyes of several people at least 8 journalists injured i would also seen video of police backing people away very aggressively and in one instance appearing to fire a rubber coated steel bullets directly at very close range into the leg of one of the people they were trying to disperse also video of people being held and then being beaten by israeli security forces so it's that there. extremely concerning videos and also concerning numbers as you say more than 200 people injured according to the palestinian red crescent society they say one of their own medics was injured and was in critical condition as

a result of that injury it doesn't take much for this really to spin out of control especially if we start seeing anybody dying from what has taken place so far what could take place in the hours ahead one other concerning video that of a car being driven by a jewish man just outside the walls of the old city in occupied east jerusalem he appears to come under attack by palestinian stone throwers the car then swerves and knocks one of them one of those palestinians over extremely violent and then there are further attempts to throw stones before what appears to be shots fired by him into the it just shows that when people get in close proximity jews and palestinians at times like this things can really get out of control very quickly did they they certainly can carry how bad do you think this has the potential to get it is this is all taking place at

a time of heightened tension but also on the so-called jerusalem day a day which is quite provocative for many people living in the city. well yes that's right i mean even when they're on the current level of tensions jerusalem day as it's known to israeli jews is an extremely high pressure event requiring a lot of israeli security forces presence and. putting on the palestinian residents especially of the muslim quarter of the old city a great deal of pressure as well what it commemorates as far as israelis are concerned is what they call the unification of jerusalem in 1967 what the palestinians who live here represents the beginning of the israeli occupation in this half of the city and of course more widely across the palestinian territories . on this day the question is whether the israeli security forces are going to

inhibit at least some of the root of that march put in restrictions to prevent close proximity between jews and palestinians they would usually march through the the muslim quarter waving flags dancing chanting shouting banging on shut was limb owners shops and if that takes place today then as we've just seen already there have been very violent events that could trigger even further such events the israeli police commissioner said as late as sunday night that he wanted things to go ahead as they traditionally do however there is meant to be a decision made early monday we're still waiting to hear the official decision as to whether they're going to allow it to go ahead in its full form or whether they're going to place restrictions in either event it will be tense it will indies how a force that there are reports in live for is at the combine thank you harry for nigh

well the stay in occupied east jerusalem we can hear now from yes. advocacy directive from the palestine institute for public diplomacy exactly where this here on the program you've been day not the sites just tell us what you've been seeing. hello it is can you hear oh. yes hi there i was just telling our viewers that you've been down at the sites you've been at the. compound give us a sense of what you've been seeing where you were there. look. we cannot talk about clashes between 2 parties or attentions and this is clearly repression by heavy r. and occupation force against unarmed more shippers and people who are just trying to protest so this is a situation as you can see there is

a lot of injured we also saw that you know the parrot paramedics were prevented to access at the site there was a clinic that was attacked also by stun bombs so it's it's dramatic but it's not happening in a vacuum. it's not at all. do you think then the israeli response to do whatever the israeli forces were responding to the do you think it was disproportionate. israel's response is always disproportionate we're talking here about jerusalemites palestinians who have been repeatedly told since generations that this city is for the israelis and the jewish only they are born with inferior ranks they are constantly under pressure repressed oppressed so sometimes it bursts and i think it won't go away even if tomorrow it doesn't make the headlines in the media given the you know the. it's clearly

a problem that will stay because palestinians are not you know are denied their fundamental rights in this city and the israelis have emboldened. the settlers and they are also emboldened by constant impunity well there's a clear sense of injustice there for people who are. who are living in this situation but it is just in terms of the visuals you're palestinian how did it make you feel when you saw some grenades tear gas being fired inside the mosque itself one of the holiest sites in islam how does that make you feel. you know angry angry but we're not surprised because again this is not the 1st time it won't be the last time you can see that the israeli forces they consider how the sting and the persons in front of them as a 6 security threat as a democratic as a demographic threat not as human beings as citizens was right you know we are

considered a threat and i think this is overall how israel system you know functions whether it's delicious that is the executive or the armed forces this is a system it's a sophisticated system it's not only you know just a few policeman these for this man receive orders and they have been elected and trained and elected officials have you know supported that such action so again this is not comes as a as a surprise this is. of. education mentality and political and policy practices. given given this. how do you think the international community should be regarding all of this because whatever the reason rest of the story there are usually calls for a car war both sides here and as you pointed out. has rocks and empty bottles the other side has. rubber cover rubber bullets and tear gas canisters

how do you think the international community watching these images should be responding to this. i mean by starting by reframing that narrative we we can't continue to both sides you know what's happening it's not a both sides it's you there is an occupier and occupied there is a colonizer and a colonized and unfortunately the international community has not recognized that and so they're always making false equivalence is and these false equivalence is preventing us to move forward towards a just future so the only solution now is accountability israel has never been held accountable for its continuous violations of international law and human rights and let's repeat it what they're doing interests and i'm whether is the force expulsions or what they're doing and that's why it's work cripes and it's it can amount to crimes against humanity including the crime of up are tired and this has been analyzed so the response should be accountability and actions because

declarations are not enough what do you think. palestinians will ever get this accountability do you think this will ever come yes and i'm hopeful and you know palestinians again they won't go away and they won't i think back then they will continue to mobilize so i would urge also the media to you know continue to look when there is not this outburst of violence because often and most often the violence of the occupation and the colonial aspects of worrying if it is you know is underlined is continuous and is of low intensity but low intensity doesn't make it to media headlines so i think this is there is a root cause to all of this we need to address the root causes without addressing the root causes this this will continue and policies read continue to be killed and injured and will continue to mobilize. the joining as for the occupied

east jerusalem thank you so much for joining us on the program. thank you well as we've reported one of the issues behind recent arrests is a long running legal case centers on whether several palestinian families will be forcibly evicted from their homes in occupied eastern reasons gesture are neighborhoods to make way for israeli settlers international pressure is mindset known israel the organization of islamic cooperation says it is appalled spy the paternity of the force being used against palestinian protesters the un security council will meet discuss developments later on monday well al jazeera has spoken exclusively with iraq's prime minister moustapha in baghdad he says the palestinian people have the legal right to say and chefs gera you could take heed

a lot in iraq denounces all the crimes against the palestinian people and the prevention of the muslim community to access the holy sites and protecting the palestinian neighborhoods that historically belong to them and should be protected and defended. so to come on i'll just say we'll bring you the rest of the day's news including iraqi protesters turning very angry are on iran's consulate in karbala after the killing all of a prominent activist and a report from sudan on high people smuggling as flourished since conflict broke out it's neighboring ethiopia. it's time for the perfect gentlemen. sponsored point qatar airways how once again welcome to look at the international focus we have got more heavy showers across much of southeast asia as we should do some particularly wet weather

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 may came to power almost a year ago he promised to rein in our troops 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 iran 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 a central square once packed with proud swelling for a cause but after the movement crumbled amid brutal repression they mostly just gather to mourn those they lost 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 protestors will compete for their power to bring about change that's why they're targeting the activist today he has 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 fault in our jazeera caterpillar. at least 25 people are reported to have been killed after a bus hit a landmine in afghanistan it happened on the couple kandahar highway in zabul province local officials say women and children are among the victims separately there have been reports of at least 20 soldiers being killed in a car bombing that sets of happened outside an army base near the city of. the

crossed the border before the conflict and they are now in europe and elsewhere but instead we came to the refugee camps the degree 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 order 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 new other factors besides
