2:03 pm
call jerusalem day palestinian red crescent says more than $270.00 people have been injured and their team is being prevented from reaching the compound with aides at least 80 people have been taken to hospital where they are prime minister binyamin netanyahu spoke about the violence in. some of what we talked about it was a long struggle this taking place in the heart of jerusalem this is not a new struggle this is a struggle between intolerance and tolerance between lawbreaking and violence and law and order the struggle is not new because it has transpired over jerusalem and the heart of jerusalem for centuries since the rise of the monotheistic religions for years one side ruled and excluded the 2 others and sometimes they changed in the same thing happened you can say that in the long history of jerusalem only
2:04 pm
under israeli sovereignty since 1967 we are witnessing a continuous and stable secure period in which we are working to ensure freedom of worship and tolerance for all. well neither abraham is live for us in ramallah in the occupied west bank 1st all those sorts of harry false that he's outside the mosque. a harry we're hearing there from the israeli prime minister talking about a struggle which he told her incidentally runs the mosque how does that analysis tally with the events just a few hours ago. well i mean certainly as far as those who are inside the mosque who they're camping overnight and wishing to be there in the final nights of the final days of ramadan i think you could pretty much expect them to discard and disregard those comments just to just to explain where i am i'm currently outside damascus gate. outside the walls of the old city in occupied east
2:05 pm
jerusalem and as well as obviously those very concerning images that we've all been seeing coming from outside the alexa mosque compound itself from inside it as well here we've just seen the 1st signs of the march of the flags the jerusalem day commemorations as they're known to israeli jews this is why people worried about this monday because this is a day when jewish israelis they commemorate what they call the unification of jerusalem i.e. the day in 167 when the israeli military seized east jerusalem for palestinians it represents the beginning of the military occupation of easters and that has been going ever since and so in such just such a time of heightened tensions the concern about tens of thousands of largely religious nationalist jews marching through the old city especially through the muslim quarter through the gate close to where we are now is something that is of
2:06 pm
can considerable concern we understand there is reporting that israeli security establishment has advised against allowing the traditional route to take place nonetheless very close to a group of palestinians here we saw a considerable number of of jewish activists walking past the israeli security forces trying to separate them using stun grenades to clear some of the crowds and it seems there are more running skirmishes potentially about to erupt now as well so this is why this day was always going to be tense starting off as it did with those terrible scenes in. there are lots of most compound only really are into that feeling that this could be a very dangerous day that we will it does appear to have the potential to rock there we are seeing people behind. harry starting to it's a mobilizing to just give us a sense of this jerusalem day margy you say that already so some marches have begun i mean is this an organized thing fully stang by the government. because it
2:07 pm
seems really a provocation of sorts and given that tensions are sore high given the. the images we see of some gas canisters going off inside the mosque during ramadan i mean it really seems quite remarkable really that another event that could provoke tensions even more it's being allowed to take place in such proximity. indeed i mean as far as palestinians here living in this area concerned every year they view this as a provocative act the kind of chanting and flag waving about it involves the sort of triumphalism of the whole event when obviously they see it as that is the beginning of of the occupation by a military occupying power i mean yes it is sanctions to the extent that it is always coordinated with israeli security forces there is always
2:08 pm
a huge police presence on the streets and in the alleyways of the old city this time around the israeli police commissioner as late as sunday night despite all the things that have happened up until that point and the concerns about what might happen today monday he was saying that he wanted to see it go ahead in its traditional form now that doesn't seem to be the indications that we're getting from the reporting of the high level security cabinet meetings or security meetings that have been taking place the israeli police the israeli shin bet the internal security service and indeed the defense minister benny gantz according to that reporting seem to be agreed on the idea that allowing it to take place would it in its traditional form would almost certainly lead to violence so there are barriers up there preventing direct access down to damascus gate and the area here for now we've also heard reports of other barriers being erected in other parts of
2:09 pm
jerusalem so without any official announcement yet it does seem quietly that they are trying to divert this march away from the most obvious flashpoints however as you say it still is going ahead and it's worth mentioning as well that we've already seen one very direct confrontation between an israeli jew and palestinians just outside the walls of the old city he was driving a car from the video that we could see he appeared to be put under attack by stone throwing youths in the. the car then veered very violently knocking over a palestinian if either that jewish settler or that jewish man or the palestinian suffer the fate fatality fatal injury in that incident that could have led to a huge conflagration so the more chances there are for jews and palestinian activists and protesters to get together and face off against each other the greater the risk of something like that happening and then really all bets are off
2:10 pm
things can really explode in a very big way very tense day at the best of times with the potential to get much much worse harry force there live for us in occupied east jerusalem will leave it there for now thank you very much indeed for bringing us the very latest that we are getting reaction from the palestinian leadership who are asking for the u.n. security council and the united states to intervene let's say cross street no need to bring him just as live from ramallah in the occupied west bank needed work he tell us about this. first of all let me start by telling you that there is the mini prose just behind me here the manara squid and where protesters are chanting against the old slow accords that we're signed between the palestinians and israelis are in the ninety's but also they are demanding freedom for jerusalem for all of and those were living in shifts of russian occupied east jerusalem there is
2:11 pm
a sense here that the response if it's going to calm the response is going to come from gaza this is why some of the protesters are chanting slogans now saying gaza they want the response to come from the gaza strip from a mouse namely who was launched a few rockets over the weakens towards israel this has has led to also to growing certain should also israel has decided to close off the fishing zone for in front of gaza fisherman completely and they say that this is a response to lose that were sent from the gaza strip towards israel that would filled with firing material over the weekend so there are some spontaneous protests here then they are in the occupied west bank not just city and some are even calling towards going to confrontation points with the israeli army not just staying in city centers because many palestinians do not have the ability to be in
2:12 pm
jerusalem here in the occupied west bank everyone who wants to go into occupied east jerusalem house to pass through israeli military checkpoints and has to have a permit approved before from the israelis of course not many palestinians have that although this city is far away from the physically they want to make sure that their voices are heard that they are expressing that anger even though they cannot pass and go and be with their fellow palestinians in jerusalem they were they are also calling upon the palestinian authority to do much more we've heard. from palestinian officials the spokesperson of the presidency dana has said that israel is challenging the international community and the u.s. administration and i have also spoken earlier too with p.l.o. executive committee member who believes that netanyahu the israeli prime minister of what has failed or wasn't able to. make
2:13 pm
a government in the last elections is trying as as far as the palestinian official is concerned he says that that that now it's trying to export his problem by a skill a thing tension in jerusalem to kind of hide the fact that he is in a political crisis again this is as far as the palestinian official is going certainly we also heard from a close aide. who has tweeted saying that the palestinian leadership is going to be meeting and studying what options they have to respond to the current escalation what as far as the protesters here behind us will tell you that the palestinian authority hasn't really been doing much when it comes to responding to the palestinians to the israeli violations they want a harsher response a response from them but as far as palestinian leadership is concerned they say that they've taken all the bureaucratic step this is what they could do and that they've called upon the international community to step up and hold sessions for
2:14 pm
the united nations as well as the arab. ok need to abraham the lawyer for from ramallah thank you needa. well as we've been reporting one of the issues behind recent unrest is a long running legal case the census on whether several palestinian families will be forcibly evicted from their homes but is jerusalem's share share our neighborhood has to make way for israeli settlers international pressure is mounting on israel going to zation of islamic cooperation says it's a hold by the brits hallett see of the force used against palestinian protesters years curator council will meet to discuss developments later on monday well this ruling to force a palestinian families from their homes and share photos decades of land disputes in 1956 dozens of palestinian families settles into the neighborhoods they were
2:15 pm
among hundreds of thousands of people who were expelled from palestinian towns 948 war was often referred to as the nakba or catastrophe about a decade later the families agreed to a deal with the jordanian government that would make them the protected tenants of homes they were. but the deal was cut short when jordan lost control of the land after israel annexed it in 1967 well a series of court cases of ruled in favor of a settler organization that seeks to judea is the area which is certain it's a focal point of process against the land sake over or mohammad dahlan has the founder of mohammed dahlan associates he says the vast discrepancy between israeli and palestinian forces is complicating matters even further. they have force sometimes have also a listening ear from the israeli land or 30 when they speak they said initiated
2:16 pm
this process of just studying this land in 100-6972 under their name the israeli lamp authority did not really pay lots of attention as it would have done in the palestinian was that you can and very easily just out of the land under under the name without enough proper documents as you can understand as the really governmental to support these claims groups actually they are very some that are very afraid of them. at some point but the trinity to support them all the time and they support them and just not that they support them in other issues you know that have to do with settlements in east jerusalem including taking property in east jerusalem palestinians who are not living in east jerusalem and the prefix that those palestinians are now absent because they are absent that is what is called the absentee property law and they can confiscate their property as well for

paul the taliban has announced a 3 day cease fire in afghanistan during the muslim festival over age of 50 this week it comes to days after the government blames the group for an attack outside a school that killed more than 50 people mostly young schoolgirls the taliban however says it's not involved. i didn't daily the number of covert 1000 infections in india has fallen to below 400000 for the 1st time in 4 days health officials have recorded another 3700 deaths of houses similar overwhelms pressures building on prime minister narendra modi so as a nationwide locked in like it's sharing india's 1st wave well india is one of the countries that has been asking western countries and companies to wave patents for
2:23 pm
coal with 1000 bags scenes but there are growing demands for new delhi to lead by example of the lacks patents for its own domestic coronavirus job it's developed in manufactured by by own tack for more we can speak to murali miller comes on he's a lawyer and joins us by skype from mumbai is kids have you had this here it is quite interesting isn't that these vaccine paid since and waivers are being asked to be brought in for western companies why aren't the indian companies willing to relax their patients as well. it's a fact question and i think that is a question that the. india this morning the government filed an affidavit last night with the supreme court to say that. it will look at the cations fall licensing off. that's not saying very much
2:24 pm
more it should have said of course that is an emergency of cause and we will issue licenses for patents. so we are in a difficult position as india with taking a stand at the deputy oh wanting to lead the global south asking for ip baber those which go beyond acton's for. gender the so it includes vaccines drugs that a few ticks equipment or all materials to produce these things so it's quite a wide ask that we have at the w t o and then to take an exact opposite standpoint in the supreme court it's very difficult for anyone to explain i think india's foreign service and the ambassadors in geneva are going to find it really hard to keep a straight face from there but they have to say this to their counterparts. that's reasonable point where do you think the problem lies certainly at leaving to side
2:25 pm
the the general covert situation in india which is heartbreaking its awards from the outside and sounds of the vaccination problem what he thinks the blame here are people being held back by this inability to reproduce the. other vaccines or is it down to it raw materials and production because when a lot of the western pharmaceuticals are trying to fight this patent waiver ip waiver they're saying that this isn't the thing that's causing the blockage it's terms of producing the vaccines so what do you think is behind the the slowdown. we have spare production capacity in india it's not as if we don't have that many countries that don't have access production capacities in india and in fact is the largest producer of axioms in the world so we have capacity we have technology we
2:26 pm
have know how we have the skills. the challenge for producing co vaccine is simply time we should have done this. when we could have transferred technology to several other vaccine manufacturers in this country and ask them to produce. it is something i said then the government eventually decided that it will allow certain manufacturers to produce it but that came so late it the announcement came in april it's going to take us another 6 months to produce the 1st vaccine from those facilities now i can only speculate but i still think that it might be that the governments aust bodies which it's ponces to be self-sufficient and so financing so i see them on the india council for medical research which has supported by the biotech in this product. is hoping to make royalties on the product rather than ensure that everybody gets it so the incentive. is to
2:27 pm
make huge royalties which means higher prices rather than the government telling. the point here is not to make money behave like big pharma the point is to get more vaccines if we've got this messaging right by now we would have had at least twice the capacity that part of biotech has today and just what do you think the indian government itself can. production oh it can do many things 1st deal with the problem of for auction off the vaccine itself which is allow more companies to make the vaccine. companies to make their own materials we have the ability to make all materials get out ip issues with making those in india so we can actually make several of those are already toast and exported to the rest of the world not just for india we can member of the world ok. thank you so much indeed. joining us from. thank you for the indians highland share
