to have however been smaller groups of settlers and white wing activists gathering on the streets but the main march involving thousands of people has been called off it follows a day of provocation and violence marking the worst unrest the city has seen india's. al aqsa mosque compound islam's holiest sites was the scene of a violent israeli crackdown on palestinians. now these pictures of from inside the mosque israeli forces firing rubber coated steel bullets tear gas and sound ball and a protestant and worshippers and that's the 2nd time that was ready forces of storm alex a mosque since last week we were praying in the southern soldiers. get it. without any air live they sucked the.

money goes into the injured dozens of. people the for all the bullets it's amazing this is a praying for. them take a look at these pictures from in and around the compound which houses the mosque israeli security forces targeted palestinian protesters who were standing guard the latest numbers from the palestinian red cross more than 330 people have been injured that includes journalists activists say that some protesters have been hit in that on eyes and heads with rubber bullets. in shakes which is the neighborhood that the heart of the current unrest between israelis and palestinians look at arguments and confrontations between members of the israeli knesset right wing activists and palestinian protesters centers on whether several

palestinian families will be forcibly evicted from their homes all the time getting there for generations to make way for israeli settlers here and at the national the shopping out of the one about a foolish i cannot imagine my situation i built my house brick by brick and stone by stone and in it i raised my children i lived here with my husband for 17 years suddenly they came and cleaned up my house has become there is soon they will come to remove us by force as they did in the family soon on the hikers who come to bring people out of their homes naked and pay for it's an unjust on and it is a dirty occupation. we have 3 correspondents tracking the story christian salumi is at the un on a closed door meeting on the acts of violence they were abraham's in ramallah and the occupied west bank but 1st let's go to harry force that is outside the mosque compound perry out of stop with the jerusalem day march which was due to have got

under way by now but we have a stand it's been canceled what's the latest. well let me just bring up to date on something else which is just literally happened while we've been on air in the last few seconds sirens started going off here in the occupied east jerusalem and of course more widely across the city people here in the in the amphitheater around damascus gate started to cheer and just as you were coming to us that even now we can hear homes in the not too far distance it sounds as i mean i've been on the border area with gaza many times during escalations there it sounds like iron dome interceptions of rocket fire i can't confirm that at the moment but it is. a relatively familiar sound certainly 6 o'clock which we've just gone past was the deadline that hamas is military wing gave to the israelis

to pull out their forces from shiites gerar the neighborhood at the center of an eviction dispute out of the area around the oxer mosque compound and to release all of the people detained and they said that if those things did not happen israel would be expected to have a price exacted from it i also have to say it's pretty rare only one time in my 4 years here anyway have there been rockets. in the area close to jerusalem just just. imagine them out jerusalem where the sirens for the rockets went off and obviously as well as that those cheering. palestinians have just been had to have just been dispersed from the steps with another round of stun grenades so very soon after that deadline imposed by hamas it seems they have acted or at least it seems that rockets have been fired in the direction of jerusalem all right

harry reluctant to keep you hanging around there were if things like backing off but if you can tell us about what happened to this this march why it was canceled. no it's fine i'm we're all here and we're not going anywhere we've we've seen a lot of this kind of action around us it in the last few days the march is due to take place every year at this time according to the jewish calendar to commemorate the $967.00 seizure of occupied east jerusalem by the israeli soldiers during the night of $67.00 war and it is called jerusalem day in israel it is huge here for palestinians in occupied east jerusalem and marks the beginning of the occupation but it is a day for especially right wing. nationalist religious nationalists. darts and seeing in a pretty triumphalist way with flags and march through the muslim quarter of the old city. and it is something that even in a good year even at

a time of reduce tensions is seen as something provocative and requires a huge amount you see to ensure. and this yeah of course there was real concern that it could really cause a massive conflagration because of the proximity that it would have involved between jewish and is and palestinian protesters israeli security establishment seem to be going back and forth on whether to allow it to take a sufficient route or not for some time the police commissioner as late as sunday night was saying he wanted to see it go ahead then reports earlier this morning that security establishment and advised against then reports that it was going to go ahead and then just minutes after that at the last possible 2nd really israeli prime minister's decided that the route could not go through the heart of the muslim section of the old city and then in response to that because they weren't going to be allowed to celebrate what they call a unified jerusalem and go wherever they wish to inside jerusalem the organizers of

the march canceled it entirely and so that is something that is going to probably harm benjamin netanyahu standing with the right wing that has been calling for so long especially and heightens only in the last election but it does suggest that he is very concerned about the security situation concerned too about what is obviously. the threats that have been apparently made going on from the hamas military wing in gaza and of course after the scenes that we saw inside the mosque compound a little earlier i think you got some sound there of benjamin netanyahu referring to what the israeli security forces did inside the al aqsa mosque early on monday. him of what really bush allusion our struggle is taking place in the heart of jerusalem this is not a new struggle this is a struggle between intolerance and tolerance between law breaking 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 them and the same thing happened you can say that in the long history of jerusalem only 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. i don't mean us and so we have a pretty big escalating situation here again i'm so far i'm i'm just going with what has been heard here the sirens the very loud bangs in the area but if it's if it is true that hamas is firing rockets in around the area of jerusalem we've already seen the israelis order a reinforcement of the area around gaza farmers in the area being told to get away

from the gaza envelope stay indoors road closures down there as well and a major military exercise historically big military exercise by the israeli military which was due to take place tomorrow tuesday that has been called off so israeli military obviously preparing for a pretty major escalation coming from gaza we will have to monitor this very closely as to how things go ahead from here but the kind of concerns that the scenes we saw and alex this morning that that but the that that that could trigger a wider conflict it's early moments just now but but there are certainly those fears seem to be pretty well founded right now. al-jazeera sorry for said reporting live for. from. perry for the moment many thanks you may well be back with you later in this news as harry was saying warning sirens sounded in jerusalem shortly

after 6 o'clock and several explosions were heard hamas had threatened to take action to issue an ultimatum for israel to withdraw forces from 2 flashpoints in the city and it's claimed responsibility for a rocket strike but no immediate reports of any damage or casualties but we'll we're keeping across this developing situation we've been getting reactions to from the promise to me and leadership who are asking the u.n. security council and the u.s. to intervene let's go live now to ramallah in the occupied west bank town just seriously doubt aber here is for us what's the palestinian leadership been saying today about. adrian let me 1st tell you that i was able to hear the rocket attacks from here from ramallah around 7 minutes ago i was able to hear 3. some noise that we really don't hear around here because it's rare that these rockets

would be. attacked or sent into jerusalem and i would produce. a confirmation from hamas from the spokesperson of the military wing to saying that they are did indeed 'd rockets against the israeli aggression what they called it and industry to many palestinians have been calling on gaza to react they would expect that the response would only come from the gaza strip many protesters have told us that they do not trust that the palestinian authority is doing enough to calm the situation. for the people and we've heard from the spokes person of the presidency who says that israel is challenging the international community but also. the u.s. administration that is trying trying to calm down the situation and we also heard from the p.l.o. executive committee member was that any he told us that he believes that if that

netanyahu is trying to explore as export his political crises his failure to form a government by escalating the situation on the ground in jerusalem it's also heard from the palestinian prime minister and how much they yes he has condemned the attack in the weekly government meeting and this is what he had to say and then your humble is that i hold the israeli government fully responsible for what the worshipers were exposed to in the blessed mosque and i warn of the consequences that will result from such incursions as well as attempts to evacuate the people of shaikh the original owners of the land from their homes why did mr maher don't i called on the international community to intervene immediately to stop these horrific violations and to provide protection to the citizens of the palestinian territories especially in the city of jerusalem which is undergoing ethnic

cleansing today jerusalem is restoring the glow of the coals. and they don't have the for the displays of solidarity today across the the occupied territory. most palestinians are wary of using the word solidarity although here in the occupied west bank they can't be in jerusalem physically they have to cross the checkpoint to have an israeli military permit beforehand that they can't do that so they would tell you that they want to show that they are angry that they are supporting the palestinians but they're not standing in solidarity with them because they believe their cause is one and the israeli violations are the same when it comes to palestinians those in the occupied west bank and in occupied rooms that. they have protested in several cities across the occupied west bank and we've seen here behind us that we. protesters chanting slogans against the

accords about were signed between the palestinians and israelis in the 1990 s. and they've also been calling for gaza to react they've been chanting slogans demanding freedom for. and occupied east jerusalem there have been more calls in more cities in the occupied west bank but there are more calls from palestinians to go to confrontation points to go to israeli military checkpoints across the west bank and protests there in the am to support their brothers in. all right maybe abraham reporting live from ramallah in the occupied west bank as we've been reporting the united nations has held a closed door meeting on the violence this really promised to the intention christian salumi joins us now live from the u.n. headquarters in new york the security council has wrapped up close consultations on the situation beforehand so of all member states have drafted a state but what's the latest. well as you say the

official meeting has ended but the discussions are ongoing on a possible statement to be released to the press this was the 1st order of business for the security council on a monday morning this emergency meeting that was called by china which was the presidency of the security council this month and a draft statement was put forward by china norway and tunisia statement in line with comments made by secretary of state secretary general of the united nations antonio good terrorists over the weekend condemning the violence going on in jerusalem calling on israel not to even accept letters from their homes in east jerusalem calling for restraint regarding these clashes and so on the discussions as i said took place for about an hour we know that over half of the security council members called for this meeting

a sign of just how concerned the international community is at this point but notably one of those countries was not the united states the united states didn't call for the meeting and we're told by diplomatic sources that they expressed some reservations about the statement as put forward their concern that it won't be helpful to the situation in of course the united states support would be essential for any statement to be released from the council it would have to be unanimous so we know that the negotiations are ongoing at an expert level that suggests that the united states is still engaged in this process and a compromise might still be possible but at this stage we are hearing individual countries expressed grave concern at the situation but no unified statement as of yet of course we'll be watching for developments throughout the day al-jazeera is kristen selebi reporting live there from the u.n. in new york christine but he thanks. the ruling to force palestinian families from

their homes in the shape follows decades of land disputes dozens of families settled there in 1956 they were among hundreds of thousands of palestinians who were expelled from that towns in the 1948 war and what's often referred to as the nakba catastrophe about a decade later the families became protected tenants under a deal with the jordanian government but this agreement was voided because jordan lost control when israel occupied the land in 1967 a series of court cases was ruled in favor of a settler organization that seeks to make the area completely jewish bomb a dollar is the founder of the legal father involved in the dispute he says that the israeli land of thorazine as long favored the expansion of settlements. we have force sometimes have also a listening ear from the israeli land for 31 days they said initiated this process of just letting this land in 100-6972 under their name by israeli land or 30 did

not really pay lots of attention as it would have done in the palestinian was that you can agree easily to just out of the land of the under of your 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 friendly and some at some point but definitively 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 while not living in east jerusalem and that is the prefix that those palestinians are now absent and because they are absent that is what is called the absentee property law and they can confiscate their property as well for settler purposes your cock out is the editor in chief of the jerusalem post he says that if

palestinians didn't result in violence and the israelis wouldn't have to use force . well imagine a scenario that there wasn't there weren't any rocks thrown or scenario there wasn't a mob that was rioting or a scenario that a jewish israeli driver who was driving just outside lion's gate outside the old city interesting was in stone didn't there was an attempted lynching on his life or it's of all of that was happening there wouldn't have been any need for any for straight israel for. the 67 when it liberated east jerusalem and reunited the city has allowed it free prayer for muslims on the temple mount that's never been a problem but if there's violence if rocks are thrown down to the western wall plaza and if drivers are lynch's are made and tempted on their lives that perforce needs to be responded to and there needs to be a reaction so people can be defended and protected dozens of israelis have been injured i would recommend going into just some of the wire services i'm sure it'll just here you have access to lawyers photos and just seeing the buckets of rocks

these are just you know small little pebbles like you would skip across a lake back home these are massive boulders and stones that they prepared and threw over is after forces at prayer which is to wish worshippers down at the western wall closet just below the temple mount the l.x. a mosque this could have gone completely differently but instead people had an interest to escalate tension to create some violence to cause some damage and unfortunately what has happened is there is this violence and there's this escalation i'm glad to see that these really the police now has just decided moments ago that the parade the flag parade on drizzling day which marks the liberation of jerusalem back in mensa 67 is not going to go through the muslim quarter through the what's known as the damascus gate and said going to go through joffe again this is an attempt to deescalate that's a smart move by the police but it needs to be met with on both sides right and you can't expect that there's just violence from one side and there's no response.

now to the rest of the day's news iran's foreign ministry has strongly condemned the attack on its consulate in karbala on sunday protestors in the iraqi city targeted iran after an anti government activist was shot dead in an apparent execution supporters of it how about was set fires around the iranian considers they suspect iranian backed fighters of being behind the shooting a wednesday was killed close to his home by unknown gunman in the early hours of sunday you'll meet on. the islamic republic of iran strongly condemns the right in its diplomatic posts in iraq it hopes that within the framework of the 961 convention iraq carefully fulfills its commitments regarding the protection of iran's diplomatic locations last night the iranian foreign ministry submitted a letter of protest to the iraqi embassy in tehran more now from al-jazeera some of

the 14 in baghdad. well protests are planned again for today over where it was and he was assassinated as well as in other cities including baghdad to protest not just the habs death but the series of s.s. nations and killings that have been taking place ever since anti-government protests 1st began in october 2900 just last night there was another attempt at the killing of a local journalist who is now in critical condition in a hospital being treated for those injuries so there is a general outrage at the government for failing to bring those killers to account for failing to rein in these armed groups that are backed by iran and it operate with complete impunity and if we look to similar assassinations that have happened in the past it's extremely difficult for the state institutions to really identify the perpetrators because 1st of all the ones who actually carry out the killings

are usually low level operatives and even if they are arrested it's very difficult to establish a link with whoever came gave the order and then there is the 2nd unit that these armed groups have actually not just not just operating in this environment of impunity but they have also to some extent penetrated state institutions they have penetrated the security apparatus of the judiciary which means that it's very difficult for the state even with the best of intentions to bring these killers to account the investigators who are charged with looking into these cases may receive threats themselves. the afghan government and taliban have agreed to a rare 3 day ceasefire for the muslim holiday of aid later this week it comes amid a surge in violence across afghanistan the latest explosion killed 11 people who were traveling on a bus in the southern province of zabul charlotte ballasts reports. travelling in a bus through southern afghanistan these passengers were approaching

a chick point around midnight when the bus drove over a mine their journey no one of recovery and no ice regional hospital the latest casualties in an increasingly insecure country are still not that. when our vehicle approached a checkpoint a bomb exploded many people were killed and injured i saw people's hands and feet had fallen to the ground they were not them selves. 2 more bomb blasts followed one in power one that killed 2 passengers another targeted soldiers in west and far province killing several in afghanistan this was a bloody weekend. on monday a health side in west in kabul was scored with dozens of fresh grapes teenage girls were targeted as they live school on saturday with 3 separate bombs it was the deadliest attack in more than a year in targeted members of the has are if knit group a shia minority. according to the new york times in the week starting april 30th $140.00 government forces and over 40 civilians were killed across afghanistan the

highest death toll in a single week since october the afghan government said the taliban were responsible the taliban blamed eisel and afghan intelligence services these are not. killing innocent people and won't these are against our border because our bullets practic are for the common people. national project best we have announced the rise in casualties has coincided with the final pullout of foreign troops may 1 was the former deadline for the withdrawal of american troops from afghanistan u.s. president joe biden push that back to september 11th the nato allies will leave then also e.u. foreign ministers met on monday the withdrawal from afghanistan at the forefront of discussions not in shrek. after the terrible attacks in the recent

days it's all the more important for the e.u. to make very clear that afghanistan and the afghan government can continue to count on europe support we'll do everything we can to ensure the ongoing peace negotiations reach a conclusion of a key goal in u.s. and nato negotiations with afghan intel a ban representatives has always been a reduction in violence and after and horrific weekend some progress the taliban announced a rare 3 day ceasefire for the muslim eat holidays will be only the 3rd break in fighting in nearly 3 years a brief reprieve for those caught in the middle chelate ballasts al-jazeera. well may has been the deadliest month in afghanistan this year it coincided with the ongoing withdrawal of u.s. and nato troops ending a 20 year presence in the country the most recent attack on a girls' school on saturday in kabul killed more than 50 people most of them students at least $160.00 pro-government forces but over $65.00 civilians have been killed in separate incidents bringing the total death toll to over $220.00 people

in just the last 10 days the united states under the trumpet ministration agreed to withdraw all its troops by may 1st but washington missed that deadline the pullout began this month that is expected to end by september the 11th as per the new deadline set by president biden. but here is a lecture of peace and conflict that caught on university joins us now live via skype from kabul good to have you with us this time yesterday i was talking to the taliban's media spokes person who was responding to the government's assertion that the taliban was responsible for that blast at the school on saturday it wasn't us he said how can you be so sure i asked him is the taliban united in its aims and objectives. well 1st off escalation in violence is a very natural part of these processes because different parties use it for

leverage again the taleban denying responsibility serves them very well because they tend to avoid international scrutiny while achieving military calls. the more important and difficult question to ask is if truly the taliban are not behind these attacks then there is a group here that has the capacity and the sophistication to carry such. complicated attacks however there is also a discord or a better term to be used as tension amongst the public on leadership as well the taliban leadership is divided into moderates that include brotherhood and who and on the other end their hardliners like. who heads the taliban movement and this escalation in violence sort of creates a polarity amongst them which makes it very difficult to reconcile the visions at the end of the day. the problem with the escalation and violence of course is that

the time about us is supposed to be preparing to integrate its fighters into the system how does it do that where people are so against it because of what it's doing to ordinary people in afghanistan. again of the 2nd level lawful or it exists among the afghan society as well people don't even understand what the utility of peace is anymore with everything that is happening we need to also understand that there is. peace is not an event it's a process phratry conciliation has to start with building mindsets strong words peace according to the united states institute of peace mullah muhammad months back the d.c. is taliban leader back in 2000 and $1516.00 had already started conducting workshops for taliban fighters to get them soften them up to the prospects of peace now with

the escalation and violence what i fear is that if the taliban fighters are smelling military victory they will not give in to any settlement because at the end of the day if a total war and total victory can be achieved why settle like compromise that would be something that's going in the heads of the fighters of the taliban that something that the taliban leadership seriously need to address because these fighters will not change within a day well not giant in the political system will not reintegrate there has to be a gradual reduction in violence for us to achieve that will really give service here so many thanks indeed but here in comp. we're just past the midway point in this news out time to get a weather update next then. i'm scott heiler in bangkok were thailand's indian community is scrambling to do what it can to help with the covert crisis in their home country. for more than 180 is this has been playing

100 years ago britain and france made a secret deal to divide the middle east between them now we can draw him. but what was the last thing affects of this agreement there's a original set to 6 because it's at those borders were drawn without consulting the people who have to live with the. sykes pekoe lines in the sand on al-jazeera. the latest news as it breaks off of the cold wind by separatists is relabeled as russian called transporters routes to asia and europe with detailed coverage the 4 inch old withdrawal is underway and will be completed after the may 1st deadline from the around the world all these demonstrates the team survived the british government without any new tools to sign sick a tail people's rights of assembly damage the country's democracy.

but i get adrian for good here in doha with the news from al-jazeera the headlines smaller groups of his ready settlers and the fight organizers by continuing to march in parts of occupied east jerusalem the made invest in bentonville think thousands of people was called off. we've been getting reports of rocket fire from gaza early on on the group the outcry some brigade issued a deadline for israeli forces to withdraw from the al aqsa compound or face attack or the israeli military says that so far 7 projectiles open files from gaza.

are more than 330 people were wounded earlier when israeli forces stormed the al aqsa mosque compound they fired tear gas and stun grenades palestinian protesters storms and although jets. protesters in the colombian city of cali are accusing the police of aiding armed civilians who shot at them. 8 people were injured at a roadblock that was being staged by a group of indigenous nasa demonstrates a stay say so-called vigilantes fired at them from their s.u.v.s colosseum some of the worst violence during recent anti government protests. let's go live now to bogota actually let me just tell you the president of iran do k.s.u. to meet with protest leaders for the 1st time later on monday i was on the run piers he joins us in bogota we'll come to that meeting in just a moment alessandro 1st of all tell us more about what happened in cali.

yes come on mr largest city saw another day of violence and chaos on sunday when as you were saying in your introduction of the group indigenous demonstrators were attacked by what seemed to be civilian vigilantes armed a group of civilians that opened fire indiscriminately on the protesters at least 8 of them were injured by gunshots one of them is in critical conditions in a hospital in this city of kali there were other confrontations following this 1st one throughout the south of this city and a number of accusations that are difficult to confirm my bond them the fact that the a group of these indigenous protesters tried to enter a residential compound the crushing the gate of this compound with the truck but we

haven't been able to confirm exactly who was driving that truck or who owned it even if some residents there and the former president of colombia. even are saying that they didn't as were responsible there there's also all these be those where you see civilians shooting on the protesters from their car of a terrifying situation a difficult to maintain control of the city so much so that finally president yvonne duke and the pressure from all sides travel to cali but in the middle of the night just for a few hours to hold a security meeting there are 2 president do they do to meet leaders of the protests today is that going to work help to calm the situation in the country today. well that's what the many people here i hope there were calls for president to get to do that he started the national governors association to try and bring these

protests under control but so far he has a man with the some opposition parties with their own tory d.'s in the country's leaders of some organisation but he hasn't met yet with those who are seen as the leaders of most of these protests they don't represent everybody but they represent most of the unions students associations and that have started these protests in the country for that have been ongoing for now 13 days hopefully this will help to calm down at least partly this situation given the fact that finally last night for the 1st time president hu k. said he is open to a negotiation to negotiate the demands of the people on the streets including young people but it's clear that the situation is quite complicated this will be a 1st exploratory meeting and we're going to have to see what comes out of it to
