definitive violent eruption as the hours tick by the answer came repeatedly grimly in the affirmative at 6 o'clock as threatened hamas launched a long range rocket attack on jerusalem's outskirts. and by nightfall it was counting a growing number of dead including children as the israeli military struck gaza one blast in the northern city of beit hanoun killed 9 people including 3 children and the saudi. children 8 months old were killed mohammad who is getting married 5 days after eat was killed how is this a children's fault girls between the ages of 7 and 9 have died how is this their fault we were just sitting outside the house waiting for the call to prayer from us military sources told us they believed israel was targeting a palestinian islamic jihad fighter who they said had earlier fired an anti-tank missile at an israeli jeep narrowly missing its civilian owner. ah

ah that attack coincided with the hamas rocket strike on jerusalem 7 missiles fired one intercepted 6 falling in open ground israel's prime minister said that crossed a red line requiring a forceful response on his board to colonel we will not tolerate harm to our territory to our capital tossed citizens or to our soldiers here attacks as will pay a heavier price. on your honor. i tell you citizens of israel the current confrontation the last for a while we didn't want to scale ation but here chose to escalate well phil are on strike. and i said earlier blamed israel for crossing the line with the actions of its security forces in the al aqsa mosque compound known to jews as the temple mount. they moved in in large numbers using tear gas. rubber coated steel bullets

batons and stun grenades for a 2nd time in 3 days the inside of the mosque became a scene of battle. blocks all ords. and jerusalem a red line whoever bears all the consequences of this dangerous zionist aggression is the israeli occupation this is why the situation is exploiting. israeli official said palestinians triggered the violence with stone throwing palestinian witnesses blamed the israelis for firing rubber coated steel bullets from long range injuries quickly mounted into the hundreds the palestinian red crescent said its own medics were among them in the neighborhood of shakespeare are where palestinian families face eviction palestinian israeli members of parliament faced off against representatives of far right israeli parties israeli jerusalem day march was called off after the government barred the usual route through the muslim quarter of the old city citing the risk of violence but through the day into the night that

violence came anyway the day that ended with violence just now and doing and. women holding on to that began here simmering tensions has spread those tensions spreading into truly dangerous territory now deep into the night waves of rockets continued to be fired from gaza at the locks a mosque the confrontations flared again setting a tree alight a violent day over dangerous days still ahead harry forces out a 0 occupied east jerusalem. let's get more on this we're joined from amman. co-founder of electronic intifada and the author of one country in the battle for justice in palestine and he thanks for speaking to us and al-jazeera what's your reaction to what's going on in east jerusalem. well it's. first of all her if picked to see israel once again deciding to try to.

redeem its humiliation in jerusalem by killing palestinians particularly children more than 9 report 9 children among 24 dead in gaza due to israeli attacks targeting residential homes among many other sites and let's recall what happened that israel thought that it could impose its will on the people of occupied east jerusalem by mounting an unprovoked assault on the worshippers of a lock some mosque. in order to crush palestinian resistance in the city and allow settlers to force their way through occupied east jerusalem as they often do chanting death to the arabs and muhammad is dead but what happened yesterday in jerusalem was israel suffered a humiliating defeat when palestinian popular resistance without the support of

any governments without the support of the palestinian authority condemned by the world. defeated israel forced them to counsel the settler module and is continuing to resist the ethnic cleansing in chad shutter our do you think will also miscalculate yes do you think hamas was justified in their rocket fire last night. i think what thomas and the other resistance factions were trying to say to israel is do not think you can attack jerusalem and attack palestinians in the west bank and count on the resistance not to respond to you so that was a major strategic miscalculation by israel because they thought that we can do as we please because we've divided the palestinian people they're a little bits of them in the west bank little bits of them in gaza and hamas and

the other resistance factions won't death to respond to us what have you it does it does that i'm saying oscillation by sorry to interrupt again but it does change the narrative doesn't it from palestinian what is being fired upon in a wholly muslim place to israel has the right to defend itself. well it only changes the narrative if that's the narrative you choose to adopt the current track record to have been the one that we should adopt because it's true is that palestinians an occupied people in the face of a nuclear state the by the united states the european union and in alliance with arab dictatorships. it is what palestinians are facing in palestinians have an absolute a right to exercise their right to resistance and self-defense as any occupied people and i have people say oh well palestinians shouldn't do this and shouldn't do that that's very easy to lecture palestinians if you're not the one in the

firing line if you're not the ones being attacked by occupation forces in your holy sites if you're not the ones being expelled from your home so that a death chanting israeli jewish settlers can take your place and if you're not the one who time off to time year after year in gaza is watching your children being killed by f. 16 of us supplied missiles and warplanes so the palestinians have a right to self-defense and resistance and there is absolutely no moral equivalence whatsoever between a nuclear armed apartheid regime attacking and killing and oppressing the people it's occupying and displacing and on the other hand those people resisting with the means they have i mean it's funny i all these there's lots of people who say oh well palestinians shouldn't fire rockets well i haven't seen the european union or

the united states providing palestinians with precision guided missiles so they can precisely target israeli military bases and the same people who object to any form of military resistance by palestinians all. so object to nonviolent resistance like boycott divestment and sanctions so people who quibble like that and who find excuses to condemn an occupied people for resisting a people who would like protestant to die quietly while israel does what it wants to them and i and i include in that especially the arab regimes and dictatorships who celebrated their marriage to israel's occupation in part that of what they fought was the dead body of the palestinian cause and what we've seen again is no matter how much these corrupt dictatorships and the european union and canada and

the united states unite to try to crush the palestinian cause the palestinian people are determined to win their freedom and that's what we're seeing they will fight back with their bare hands ok as they did in iraq and with whatever means they have to preserve their existence against the zine the state that is bent and has been bent on that destruction since the 1948. thank you for your thoughts co-founder of electronic intifada and author of one country in the battle for justice in palestine as they have off to previous outbreaks of violence while palace have called for calm western capitals hit out at hamas for its rocket attacks on techie said it would mobilize global action against what it called israeli tara jordan reiterated that it regards occupied east jerusalem as a red line gabrielle as reports from washington d.c. . u.s.

secretary of state anthony blinken met with jordan's foreign minister iman safadi in washington on monday in a pre-planned meeting both urged deescalation and committed to a 2 state solution but it's imperative that all sides take steps to deescalate the situation again i'm deeply concerned about the rocket attacks even as all sides take steps to be escalated israeli forces as a right to defend its people on its territory from these attacks maintaining peace and stability in jerusalem he and our focus right now on ensuring the. skin to install and for that to happen we do believe that all of the following of measures against either be the result of the. shift around or in the terms of the by nations until i have must stop status quo needs to be preserved and the rights of the palestinians need to be respected around the world protests in

solidarity with palestinians from beirut to the u.k. and outside the israeli consulate in toronto they waved palestinian flags pro palestinian protest erupted in turkey to thousands taking to the streets to denounce israeli aggression seen in occupied east jerusalem over the weekend and in amman jordan police blocked protesters from reaching the israeli embassy where demonstrators called for the ouster of israel's ambassador decided not cuddly on the stimulus our message today is clear continue the public pressure on the government in order to close the embassy of the zionist entity in our beloved capital amman and deport the criminal and bastard desecrates our capital. in washington a growing number of democrats in congress are pressuring biden to be more engaged and even the u.s. domestic politics are fascinating because some key democrats in the senate and even more so in the house of representatives are very much against what the israelis are

doing and are saying so vocally so it's going to be a very difficult balancing act for the biden ministration president biden had hoped to keep his focus in the early months of his presidency on domestic affairs things such as the rollout of the coven $1000.00 vaccine and the economy but it's becoming increasingly clear that he now could be facing his biggest foreign policy crisis of his presidency and might not be able to keep the u.s. on the sidelines much longer gabriels and oh how does it go washington. the rest of the day's news had its china is china's population at risk of shrinking we'll look at what's reshaping its demographic landscape. and georgia takes a big step towards resolving a long running political crisis. hello

as young as 12 most covered 19 vaccines well wide have only been authorized for adults the head of the european medicines agency has also said that the job could be approved for 12 to 15 year olds as early as this month. dad is chief strategy officer at the university of washington school of medicine he says extending the vaccine to 12 to 15 year olds is a good step towards herd immunity. you need to have done a lot of this and also look at that as a sole need to return immunity and i'm only vaccinated the term we are we want to reach earth immunity for even measles for example because not every child can get a vaccine good team unity are other problems so we need to vaccinate a lot of people in order to take away from the virus a chance for circulating in the community and herd immunity is always a desire for us vaccination we don't know what herd immunity is

a quiet put up an idea it's a new virus but if we look at viruses that have acted like that it's about 85 percent of the population that needs to be vaccinated and in fact in the combination of the 2 will give us a good reality if you look asian india has reported another drop in the number of new corona virus infections it says there have been 329000 new cases and more than 3800 deaths well that is in comparison to more than 400000 cases and over 4000 deaths which were announced on sunday the indian government is facing severe criticism on how it's handling the pandemic and the vaccine rollout has been forced off the supreme court not to interfere with its vaccine policies have the metal is in new delhi and says despite the improved numbers people remain extremely worried . as we've been reporting experts do believe that the number was asked of the early

undercounted because of testing issues and also the fact that deaths specially at home are not being counted as covered deaths what we are seeing as a trend is that the cold or hot spots are really shifting to the southern half of the country you know states like carolina and some a lot of 2 states which actually held elections last month and you are seeing them respond with fresh lockdown delhi has been experiencing a lot of oxygen crisis that seems to have gotten a little better but overnight 11 people in a sudden in a in a hospital in southern india died because of oxygen issues so obviously that issue still persists in some parts of the country the other issue is that of vaccinations as of now india has barely vaccinated 2 to 3 percent of its population i mean fully vaccinated very few to 3 percent of its vaccinate office population and at this rate experts predict that it would take a couple of the us 4 in just

a fully vaccinated its entire 1.31.4000000000 population the big issue is the chaos and confusion on ground states saying they do not have enough doses this in a lot of confusion because of a change of policy by the central government which has come under fire for of these policy changes so what we're seeing is center saying we do not have vaccinations for more than 2 or 3 days struggling to even on a possible. china's population growth is getting close to 0 that's one of the findings of its 10 years census the population rose by 72000000 over the past decade bringing it to 1400000000 in 2020 that's an average annual growth rate of just over half a percent. let's go to katrina you who is live in beijing because you know give us a bit more detail on the findings of the census and how significant of

a. well according to china's national bureau of statistics china's population did grow over the past decade but barely just play 5.3 percent so the official figure now is 1410000000 people which is just shy of the government target of 1420000000 but according to the figures the good news stops there china's population is set to peak and then shrink some say as early as next year and this is mainly because of true things one chinese population is aging rapidly at the moment about 20 percent of all chinese are over the age of 60 and over the next 5 years about 35000000 people are expected to age out of the workforce that's 35000000 people that helped to grow china's economy over the past few decades and at the same time we have 300000000 people expected to be eligible to retire 300000000 that's almost the entire population of the u.s.

so this is expected to put in then it's pressure on china's health and pension system and the 2nd problem is that there are not enough babies being born to replace these workers are aging out of the labor force just last year we had just $12000000.00 babies born and that's hard the amount of the views that were being born every year in the 19 eighties and this is even after china ended its one child policy in 2016 in an effort to boost the number of birds taking place so all of this means that this is going to really impact on his economic growth in the future and its ability to compete with other countries clearly that will be a big worry for the chinese government so what are they said about doing something to address these problems. well beijing itself is trying to downplay these concerns is trying to focus on positive things like increased station better levels of education but analysts that we've spoken to

say that it's difficult to overstate the scale of this problem if we have the continuing of the current trend that the bureau of statistics has already stated this means that china's population is going to age faster and shrink faster than countries such as the united states and india and there are a few policies that it's going to put in place to cushion the blow but it's not going to be able to reverse the trend so something is that it's thinking of doing is for example potentially ending birth limits altogether pressure is rising for that china's one child policy had been in place from 1979 so that's quite a long time of the things that it's continue considering doing is raising the retirement age also putting in place that is social benefits to help families who are struggling with the rising cost of living and also policies in put some policies in place that will help women to stay in the workforce after they have children currently there are quite high levels of discrimination against women who have children and they're not able to continue their career that being said though

because of the one child policy many families are already accustomed to having just one child so there's very little the government can do to change that are interesting thank you katrina are you there for us in beijing. george's opposition leader has been freed from prison after a court ordered his release on bail. arrest as role in antigovernment protests in 2019 triggered a political crisis his release is being seen as a major step forward in an e.u. back plant in the stalemate robin for sure walker reports from we're starving prison near the capital tbilisi. relief from the command and his supporters after 3 months of incarceration the leader of georgia's largest opposition party the united national movement walked free from pretrial detention in restudy prison and was engulfed by the media he said his release was

parliament claiming fraudulent elections last october it wouldn't but weeks of talks mediated by the european council ended with a deal last month the government has promised electoral and judicial reforms in exchange for opposition politicians returning to parliament most opposition parties have signed the agreement but not the united national movement do you think it's time now for your party to get back into parliament and personally i mean yes i think that we have that you are at a picnic and the polling the profit element from the palomino industry and products fell i mean you know like the political profit that could mean the end finally of george's political deadlock the basic reality of it with a view that what we had in there was really walking distance to overcome this crisis was walking distance you currently said just in feel free to pull that shit
