one palestinian man was shot and injured. as well as erupting in the occupied west bank and continuing here in occupied east jerusalem this violence between jews and arabs is continuing to flare in israel itself the image that shocked so many earlier this week was the beating of side mussa he's now given an interview to israel's channel 13 t.v. saying his assailants 1st asked him if he was an arab yes how can i help it was his reply the simple open innocence of that question now seems from another time or a force that al-jazeera occupied east jerusalem but we're going to hear now from our white house correspondent kimberly halkett who had the latest on the u.s. political reaction at the white house press secretary has been asked to clarify the president's position after critics accused him of failing to condemn israel. she is continuing to do some cleanup on the comments by the u.s. president joe biden on thursday where he stated that the response by israel

is in his view not significant and for a 2nd day john psaki found herself having to address those comments by the president saying that in no way was this a minimizing loss of life that in fact the united states is working very hard and mourns the loss of every life whether palestinian or israeli take a listen to what she had to say israel has the right to self-defense our focus remains on continuing to use every lever at our disposal to deescalate the situation on the ground i think it's also important to remind people the mosque is a terrorist organization hamas does not represent the views of the families of the people who are suffering all of the palestinian people who are suffering as a result of this violence on but there is no justification for 1500 rockets coming from hamas so the argument being made by the white house press secretary as you

heard there that she doesn't believe there's any justification for any firing of rockets what the white house is being accused of not just in the united states but around the world is being very selective about the starting point and once again completely ignoring many of the facts on the ground including those forced evictions of many palestinian families from occupied east jerusalem. the demonstrations are expected to be held around the globe in support of the palestinian people saturday also marks not good day all the catastrophe when 750000 palestinians were forcibly displaced from their homes in the war that led to the establishment of israel back in 1948 this is the scene in sydney in australia where a vigil is being held to protest against israel's actions from the u.k. to afghanistan and south africa to germany crowds are set to join their cause following similar demonstrations held since monday and hundreds of people held a rally in southern lebanon near the border with israel on friday one person died

that's denied by the local administration but behind is also india's poorest state with only 92 community health care centers for 120000000 people. and i've been there pandey traveled from his home town to the capital patna to find a hospital for his wife he told al jazeera he can't afford the medical care or food for himself. or. i have to buy medicines every day we get few tablets from the hospital for free but they are for basic illnesses we got medicine to work they don't bring decent and that's it we have to buy everything from elsewhere they give food to the position but not put the relatives . she had lost his uncle to corona virus he is amount of many people in bihar who say their relatives would neglected because of a lack of health care workers there was only one doctor for every 28000 people.

a problem with ali joins us live from new delhi and part may we're talking about 100 bodies found in the gun trees but there could be more possibly. yeah you know the tragedy we're seeing on ground simply cannot be quantified i mean if i could just run you through the latest number nationally the fresh count is the lowest we've seen in over a fortnight but still above the 300000 mark even the death toll is the lowest in 4 days but still where above the 3000 mark and they were in jail you know that's what we've been talking about a lot the tragedy over there and now the government has acknowledged that it has recovered more than 2000 bodies in and around the ganges and this is happening in 2 of in just poorest states there is a motion is that these are bodies of people who died of colvin and because of the

rising cost of cremation and the general fear of the virus this is how people are getting rid of dead bodies this really underscores 2 things that we've been talking about one the massive undercount both in terms of the death toll and also the caseload and secondly in rural india you know the combination of poverty a thread medical infrastructure and lack of literacy lack of know how this is these are places where you can catch a covert test more you're positive and isolate these are not places where you have you know high quality and 95 mosques or you know good facilities to sanitize and the combination of all of this has really allowed the virus to run rampant in rural india. and probably there is better news amid all the tragedy a slight dip in numbers of cases in delhi.

yes delhi where we are right now has seen has been consistently seeing a drop the latest numbers are that delhi recorded just about 6500 fresh cases on friday but the government here is trying to make sure that the situation we saw a few days ago which is high number wasn't high hospitalisation than an oval when system does not take place so we're still under a strict lockdown and secondly now the chief minister has announced that the state has deployed hundreds of oxygen concentrator across the state especially for people in home isolation so the idea is to prevent hospitalization and in and to be very honest the apocalyptic situation we saw in the nation's capital a while ago where people were scrambling for beds and oxygen or a pub many thanks for that update suppose. saturday is the final day of registration for kind of it's hoping to succeed president hassan rouhani following

iran's election gee this is very comes at a critical talking with her on and will power has engaged in diplomatic negotiations to try to revive 2015 you could deal let's speak to our correspondent was just barges live for us and in terre haute. the last day of registrations how is it shaping up. well nick we've seen some of the most high profile candidates hopefuls rather registering on this final day earlier this morning we saw larijani he is of course the former speaker of parliament register and we just seen the head of the country's judiciary ebrahim bracy register as well now these candidates will be vetted by a governing body called the guardian council that's a 12 member body who will decide who is eligible to run in these elections that are we held on june 18th the candidates will have to meet a number of criteria including they have to be between the ages of $40.75 and they

have to be rainy and nationals and of the countries majority religion the candidates we've seen so far come forth have also been the former defense minister as well as former president mahmoud ahmadinejad all in the hopes of trying to be to stand in this election the 2 most high profile candidates that we've seen so far is you see who has been within the country's judicial branches of government since he was at the age of 20 he was a prosecutor he was appointed in 2017 after he was defeated in the presidential elections by current president hassan rouhani by the supreme leader to the head of the judiciary now if he is approved which we believe he most likely will be he will have to resign from that position to run in the presidential election we expect the guardian council to announce the list of approved candidates by the end of may just to give you an idea the elections last time around and to 2017 there were 1600

people who register and there were 6 candidates approved by the guardian council so there is a long process for them to vet each candidate but the most likely 2 front runners are going to be johnny and for him gracie. the larijani families one of the most well known in the country and it appears that they will have the support of the current government has as well as those of the reformist camp because they don't have a clear candidate coming forward so they will have to pick which side they put their weight behind but we have to remember the previous election ever him bracy received just around 16000000 votes. rouhani got about 23 just over 23000000 votes so without a clear moderate voice other than only larijani we expect the race to be between these 2 candidates will have to wait for the final list of approved candidates from

the guardian council in about 10 days time all right that's a picture in terre in iran thanks for your is republicans have appointed a donald trump loyalist to a senior leadership role in the party new york congresswoman lee stuff and it replaces ms cheney who was pushed for her recent criticism of the former president john 100 reports now from washington d.c. . donald trump might seem like a man enjoying semi retirement but his grip on the republican party hasn't slipped just ask fellow republican liz cheney she spoke out against him i will do everything i can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the oval office her party repaid her by ousting her as the republican conference chair the party's number 3 leader in the house of representatives even though donald trump is no longer commander in chief even though he no longer sits in the oval office he still controls the party he still will be enormous influence over

the party and what you're seeing are republicans making it started effort to try to not only rewrite history but also rewrite it and the way that center is everything around done donald trump and that's for good or bad cheney was replaced on friday by a least a funny who made no secret of where her allegiance lies i believe that voters determine the leader of the republican party and president trump is the leader that they look to stiff voted not to certify joe biden is the winner of the 2020 election earning her the support of the man still claiming he won it is this is a rigged election everybody you know the republican congressman adam kinzinger says only a few of his colleagues really believe that donald trump won the last presidential election but few were willing to speak out against him so while the party is getting an injection of new leadership the man who calls the tune remains the same

as for the man who by every official count did win the election he seems to want to turn the page liz cheney we are seeing is above my pay grade i mean i have enough trouble figuring out of my own party all the time let alone in public with that could be difficult with his predecessors constant criticism and his frequent hints that he wants a rematch in 2024 john hendren 0 washington. petrol shortage is still ongoing in parts of the united states after a cyber attack on a major fuel pipeline led to panic buying a washington d.c. it's almost run out of petrol but government officials are telling motorists that supplies will soon return to normal the colonial pipeline was shut down for 6 days after being hit by a cyber attack last week reportedly paid hackers $5000000.00 in untraceable cryptocurrency as ransom to get the system back up. genetically modified mosquitoes have been released for the 1st time in the united states pilot program

that our mosquitoes received more support and election than any human candidate. while the majority of keys residents back the project some have concerns about the long term effects of a new technology you're going to risk our community you're going to ask the people in our community to be sacrificial lambs really because how else are you going to produce your mosquitoes if it weren't for the people in the caves donating their blood. despite some local resistance the pilot project received approval from the environmental protection agency the culmination of a decade long effort by mosquito control of our teas in tackling potentially deadly diseases nothing out there is a silverball it were looking to enter great whatever we can and to our current control methods just to make sure that we can suppress that population below

disease transmission thresholds mosquito borne diseases like malaria yellow fever kill over a 1000000 people a year according to the world health organization all this kind of technology is controversial to some it's also being watched closely during the initial stages of this pilot program here in florida around $250000.00 genetically modified male mosquitoes will be released if that proves successful in reducing the female it is to get top population millions more could be introduced and the gallacher al-jazeera miami florida. alright let's have a recap of headlines here in our desire and palestinians in gaza have woken up to more artillery fire from israel overnight a refugee camp was hit by an israeli airstrike clear at least 10 people including 8 children. but also if it's my cousin's house we were surprised by an instructor to
