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. and that with violence just now and doing and. women holding on to that began here simmering tensions has spread those tensions spreading into surely 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. well the powers have called for calm western capitals hit out at hamas for its rocket attacks while turkey said it would mobilize global

action against what it called israeli tara and jordan reiterated that it regards occupied east jerusalem as a redline gabrial as under 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 its territory from the attacks maintaining peace and stability in jerusalem to be our focus right now and ensuring that he. is going to install and for that to happen we do believe that all in the whole of the measures against either in the evenings over. shift iraq or in the terms of

the by nations into iraq must stop the 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 said it not just to me 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 investor who desecrates our capitol in washington a growing number of democrats in congress are pressuring biden to be more engaged

and even the u.s. domestic projects 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 roll out of the cove in 1000 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 gabriel zonda how does it go washington. let's get some more on our breaking news coming in from russia where at least 8 people most of them students have been killed in a school shooting in the southwestern city of can we know many more are wounded

local media is reporting that one suspect a 19 year old has been arrested witnesses have described hearing explosions now we know such attacks are rare in russia but incidents have been rising usually involving students let's get more on this we can speak to fred ware who's the moscow correspondent for the christian science monitor this is a tragic incident what more can you tell us about what exactly happened. well details are pretty sketchy and it will be some time before we know even the nature of the attack because although there are that american style school shootings that have happened in russia a few times and let past couple of decades you know where some lone shooter or some disaffected stressed out student goes on a rampage the thing is a cousin is a capital of tatler stand which is an ethnic republic and it's half opulent it with

muslims and half with orthodox christians there's a good deal of tension there and i did hear statement from the governor. describing it as terrorism so. i think it remains to be seen what the motives were it was an organized to shoot or a check for example so that's all up in the air don't assume anything but that that possibility is is there do we know much more about what exactly happened and the injuries sustained and the number of people that died will most of them children. you know well it was. preceded by an explosion according to russian media some so would suggest an organized well planned attack 2 shooters involved one of whom presumably is still there in the school standing off

with police the other has being arrested. and the numbers 8 dead 16 to 20 injured really a very serious. you know deadly attack indeed and reports of 2 children who died as a result of jumping out of a window do we know much more about that well the government statements that this attack occurred on the 3rd floor of the school. so that that would make sense if these attackers blocked off the stairwells or means of escape and then went on this rampage then of course when will you know would be from a 3rd floor window i know it is 80 days and we are speculating a little bit but you mentioned that this could have something to do with

ethnic tensions in the region what did you mean by that well in russia there have been 2. types of. violence in the past 3020 years one of which is of course. you'll remember the horrific attack on a school in beslan. 2004 when school opened. that killed over 300 people mostly children that was a terrorist attack it was chechen terrorists making their political points now. i don't want to sound alarmist but our stand ins is a very prosperous or oil rich qatar muslim ruled republic of russia on the volga river but i've been there it's a beautiful city but you know you see the spiers of mosques and and the domes of our orthodox churches it's

a very mixed population so i'm just saying that possibility is there and no one has clarified the motives for this attack yet so got to keep an open mind indeed many thanks for your time fred speaking to us from moscow he's a moscow correspondent for the christian science monitor trying to break down for us what the latest is going on from the school shooting in the city of cason in southwest russia. coming up to the weather. the oil pipeline cyber attack that's highlighting weaknesses in energy infrastructure. and i'm a look at the factors behind what's being called a cave in crime wave in the land.

a quiet put up an idea it's a new virus but if we look at viruses that have acted like it it's about 85 percent of the population that needs to be vaccinated and in fact the combination of the 2 will give us a good in reality if you look asian india has reported another drop in the number of new coronavirus infections of the situation remains dire more patients have died due to oxygen oxygen supply problems a symptom of health and that's in various states a collapse elizabeth problem reports now you daddy. the southern state of cannot occur as the new epicenter of the covenant of virus and dia as people wait for hours to cremate their loved ones migrant workers and leaving its capital. is one of india's richest cities attracting workers from all over the country but a strict lockdown means daily wage earners have lost their livelihoods. is going to

35000000 people it 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 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 and this is even after china ended its one child policy in 2016 in an effort to boost the number of births taking place so all of this means that this is going to really impact on his economic worth in the future and its ability to compete with other countries 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 raising the retirement age also putting in place that is social benefits to help families who are
