were rioting in city after some protest will start to throw in stones and that's my work. police on horseback moved in to clear the area ah, the jubilant scenes in garza and across occupied palestinian territory as a cease fire takes effect after 11 days of complex. ah, hello, i'm darn jordan, this is just, they are alive and with extensive coverage of the ceasefire between israel and how much it's happened after global demands grew louder, including impassioned, please that the un general assembly if that he's
8:01 am
a hell or nurse if he's alive and jubilant in garza, today the 65 children are among 233 palestinian killed in the bombardment of garza compounding and already diet. humanitarian crisis also had gearing up for the games that was just 2 months ago. there's concern tokyo is not in great shape to be limping. ah, welcome to the program a new day with fresh hope. it stays peaceful across israel and occupied palestinian territory. it's just after 8 in the morning, they're 6 hours off at the start of a ceasefire between israel and hamas. it ends to end 11 days of conflict during which garza was pounded by israeli strikes. and thousands of palestinian rockets were fired towards israel, palestinian, celebrated throughout the night. cheers went up in garza warehouse. officials gave
8:02 am
speeches, praising what they called a victory. again is read. the celebrations too. when the occupied west bank traffic was to a standstill in bethlehem. and this is how it looked earlier in ramallah central square people fill the streets, charging with souls and blood. we redeem you. garza and fireworks were set off and the occupied eastern lim, neighborhood of ships are our efforts to force to be expelled, palestinians from their homes. there were a significant factor intention that set off the fighting 11 days ago. and these are pictures from the alex mos compound where they were celebrations after morning. pres clashes in the compound were a significant factor in the lead up to the conflict. well, here's our coverage team. hurry force that is in western, then we'll go to him shortly. but 1st, let's talk to human outside in gaza. you know,
8:03 am
so how people there and guns have been reacting to news of the c 5. hi, darren. so again, the people since the starting of the fire to a hot charted tree ring and chanting, god is great. and so they played their fireworks and and for them today actually considered the 1st day of eve. since the aggression started since the last day of ramadan, or before even the last day of ramadan. so they didn't really get to celebrate ede occasion. now i'm here at one of the homes for one of the families who their homes has been totally destructed. yet they returned from the school right at 230 a despite all the destruction that is in their home because of the very bad humanitarian condition that they were living in, in the schools where there is no water, there's no electricity. and they went out taking nothing with them,
8:04 am
but these people here now in these circumstances are compounded by the crisis of the very high poverty lions in the gaza strip at the very high end employment trade between the people. as also, there's trips and on the reconstruction materials that are allowed to enter the gall this trip. and at the same time they have no alternative but to wait for the refund or the funding for the reconstruction of their homes. again, all right, the human side of the gaza, you met. thank you. well, the skepticism among some israelis and television have these these fire wall class and at 8 hours. and they will start shooting got rockets again, and they will just try to peel our people. these fires good for humanitarian reasons, to civilians, to relax a little bit on both sides. i'm skeptical though that it will really be kept for
8:05 am
a while. i don't think israel has achieved much in there. no. anything, no agreements about the future. nothing. it's like a bigger way, it's like it's good that. 6 the conflict will end, but unfortunately, i don't feel like we have much time for, for the next escalation you came here, denied because we want to call for the media at the bar. we want to stop the tech and the tech and straight away because it's costing too many lives on both sides of civilians and reforms that join us live now from western. somehow he said finally a ceasefire after 11 days of fighting. what does this mean on the ground though? but we've just been hearing on ami radio from the israeli military spokesman. and he says that there should be a listing of some of the restrictions on civilian life around the gaza strip.
8:06 am
inside is really territory in the coming hours. he also says that the israeli military and placements will not be drawn down until after the weekend. so both sides remain poise, they say to resume hostilities if either side reaches the ceasefire. certainly that's the message coming from a hamas as well. the other thing that is ready to saying is that they deny the hamas claim that the sci fi includes provisions about staying is really aggression . as hamas puts it in both the occupied east jerusalem of shakes euro and inside the like some us compound, known as the temple mount to jews. those were 2 of the main issues at stake, at least publicly as far as house was concerned. when it launched the rockets the monday before last, which began this, this escalate 3 process in terms of the conflict. these really the saying that is simply a lie, that it is an unconditional cease fire. and that it will be monitored to make sure
8:07 am
that neither side breeches and hurry, the fire only brings an end to the current financing. it won't stop conflict from breaking out again. so what happens next? that's right. well, i guess the, the, the question is to what extent both sides have had enough for a reasonable amount of time. because as you say, we have seen this many times. this kind of very violent conflagration followed by some years of quieter, if not quiet between the 2 sides. the israeli defense minister is saying that israel has set back hamas and its military capabilities by years restoring is ready to terrance. and that it will think again before trying to do such a thing in the future, we hear that message pretty regularly ad such moments. the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is also missing what he sees as israeli military achievements.
8:08 am
certainly a lot of talk is now about the rebuilding process in terms of the international community starting to pledge funding the u. s. president is talking about replenishing, israel's, i don't stocks also talking about trying to funnel a through the palestinian authority into gaza, not through us. as for hamas, there is some political capital that it seems to have gained from this. you've seen those big celebrations of the victory as it's been defined by how mass both inside garza and in the occupied territory including occupied east jerusalem. so there may be some political gains, it's made in terms of its competition with the palestinian authority with pata but of course set against those claim victories on both sides of the huge costs in human life. in economic and infrastructure destruction and
8:09 am
a sentence again, just having secure things remain under the surface even when things had been relatively calm for many years, or i to hurry forth at live in western wisdom. harry, thank well little more israeli strikes in the hours before the cease fire and there was rocket fire towards israel. the truth broken by egypt includes other palestinian factions in garza, such as islamic jihad when the conflict claimed at least $233.00 palestinian lives in gaza, including $65.00 children. 12 people have been killed in israel. while the world has grown increasingly vocal in demanding an end to the bloodshed, the un chief antonio teddy has told the general assembly that if there is hell enough, if the lives of children in garza speaking after the si, fi was announced. the ted, as urged both sides to stick to it. i welcome the ceasefire between garza and the israel. after 11 days of deadly securities,
8:10 am
i extend my deepest condolences to the victims of violence and their loved ones. i commend egypt and katara for the efforts carried out in close coordination with un to help restore, come to gods and israel. i stressed that israeli and palestinian leaders ever responsibility on the restoration of cone to start a serious dialogue with the root causes of the conflict. when he was president joe biden, welcome the sci fi saying his administration worked tirelessly behind the scenes. gabler xander has more now from washington. president joe biden had come under increased pressure over the last week to do more to try to stop the violence. particularly with progresses within the democratic party, who were calling on biden to pressure prime minister benjamin netanyahu to pursue more aggressively a ceasefire. so ultimately, when biden did announce to cease fire, he wanted to show that the u. s. was very much involved in it and wanted to take
8:11 am
some credit. we've held intention, high level discussions our by our literally egypt, palestinian authority and other middle eastern countries with the name of avoiding the sort of prolong conflict we've seen in previous years when, how still it is broken out. i believe the palestinians and israelis equally deserved to live safely and securely and enjoy equal measures of freedom, prosperity and democracy. my administration will continue our quiet, relentless diplomacy toward that end. i believe we have a genuine opportunity to make progress and i've committed to working for the question now becomes as well the biden administration used this opportunity to pursue peace with israel and palestine in the region. we are getting late word now that secretary of state antony blinking will be heading to the region in the coming days to meet with both israelis and palestinians,
8:12 am
and regional players to pursue some sort of peace agreement where these meetings will take place and with exactly whom is still unknown, but it does give an indication that at least in some degree, by and does want to seize this opportunity to pursue a more lasting piece in the region. while some ester hartley is an associate professor of middle east studies at the university of oklahoma, he explained how egypt and cattle succeeded in sci fi talks with us did not. rejections deserve credit, of course for their efforts as do the cut to reason the united nations of the secretary general said. and i think particularly with regard to this cease fire. and it's because the by the administration has not been interested in addressing the palestinian israeli conflict. and in fact, as the world watched the bind administration vetoed security council resolutions and refused. in the 1st days when the death toll was mounting to put
8:13 am
pressure on israel. so the egyptians and others deserve significant credit. and of course, the biden administration, as all american administrations did not engage with high mass because they considered a terrorist group. so it's only countries like egypt and cut her and so on. that can address the israelis how math other groups in gaza and so on, and the americans that really can have the leverage required to bring the hostilities to an end time for a short break here. and i'll just say when we come back, joe biden will hold his 1st face to face meeting with his south korean county. north korea will be top of the agenda and the race to protect the arctic talk saying, but slowing down the damage inflicted by climate change more that stay with the me i it's
8:14 am
time for the journey with the sponsored by cut on airways. how i once again welcome to have a look at the international forecast, the weather pretty much as it should be across the middle east. lots of hot sunshine but hot, even for here, temperatures getting well up into the forty's, we're getting well about 8910 degrees above average, impact that and q weight 45 celsius haven. doha certainly hot enough and hot enough to it's a central parts of turkey to around $31.00 celsius, but we got this larry of rain to splitting off the bus for us. that's going to sweep its way through 17 celsius in ankara. big drop in temperatures here. cool a fresh weather coming in. then as we make our way through saturday, elsewhere across the region is as you were more very warm sunshine, continuing one of 2 showers around the southern end of the red sea. joining up with a few showers just around the c o p in highlands, but across the whole of africa can refine and try. there will be some showers into central areas of africa to striving the equator really pretty much where they
8:15 am
should be over towards the gulf. of guinea some heavier and lively showers just coming through here. but to the south of that is pretty much water was sunshine that said we've got some showers just grazing the far south of south africa around the western cape. the southern cape pool are coming in here. portal is booked, taped headed around 1516 degrees at west. what will make his way through the eastern cape, the saturday sponsored pay cut on airways, a life and death struggle for racial equality in a deeply unequal society. unfortunately, that was fine for the apartheid regime within that group. they've been very close friends like a family living together over 50 years after this torture and death in police custody. al jazeera world tells the remarkable story of anti apartheid campaigner in them of the south africa. the man fought apartheid on a jazz. ah,
8:16 am
ah ah, welcome back. a quick amount of a top stories here on our era cease fires and effect between israel and us, ending to end 11 days of conflict that killed at least $233.00 palestinians. 65 of them children, 12 people died in israel. egyptian broken truce includes other palestinian factions in garza, such as these land of jihad on the 7 celebrations across the occupied territory. this was a scene in garza how mass official gave speeches praise, and what they called a victory against israel. and only on thursday, the un general assembly held a special meeting to discuss the crisis,
8:17 am
un cheese on tunnel. good teddy said if there was head on us, it's the lives of children and gaza. you make an edge both sides to stick to the seaside. let's look at some other world news now. when officials from the international olympic committee are due to wrap up 3 days of talks with the organizers of the tokyo games, there's increasing speculation about the fate of the event we've just 2 months to go to lead. scheduled opening ceremony from ry report like use a national olympic teams have been going through the usual build up events. while all of them recognize these games will be like no other. that's assuming they go ahead. we're all well aware of what's going on. your copy and you've as an athlete to know that. and we don't want to threaten the type of security off the japanese as well. that's really important for us. brazil. one of the countries hardest hit by the pandemic is vaccinating its athletes and accompanying officials with other national olympic committees doing the same. such precautions on depend,
8:18 am
the international olympic committees continuing confidence that the games will go ahead. the i o. c has offered to the organizing committee to have additional medical personnel has parts offer the delegations to support the medical operations. but a request from japan's olympic organizers, full medical staff to volunteer to help out has been criticized in japan, where a widespread stated emergency is still in place. but you know, just over finishing rulers in japan, if there's a risk of a view in st region. anything here, you know, in addition and people who will also bring variance. so at this point, i believe it's impossible to older lympics if that's a view, consistently supported by opinion polls in japan. but any decision to cancel the games would be an extremely costly one. the budget has already ballooned to
8:19 am
$16000000000.00 with only part of that covered by insurance, and japan knows its loss from a cancelled games will be measured in far more than just dollars. i do think that losing face and reputation has something to do with it. certainly, the money is a big factor, but it is true that japan has been working over the last decade or so. to have this be its moment in the sun just 2 months to go. and there's still no guarantee the newly available team uniforms will finally get to be paraded at an opening ceremony. rob mcbride, al jazeera president joe biden, and his south korean counterpart will hold their 1st face to face talks of the white house in the coming out. the top of the agenda is north korea biden's trying to strike a balance between donald trump's lead at the lead diplomacy and barack obama arms length approach. kimberly helped get reports now from washington. he was the 1st
8:20 am
sitting us president to ever meet with the north korean leader. but donald trump's so called love affair with kim jung and was often a shaky rocket man. is on a suicide mission for himself. still, he hoped his efforts would change the relationship. washington house was feeling yang for all the hoopla and all the pageantry with the summit between the president, trump and north korean leadership. and all of the boasts about how things were gonna change for the better. and did nothing really change at all, and essentially we're back to square one just before the new president joe biden was inaugurated in january, north korea, launch what it called, the most powerful missile on the planet. stark reminder, appealing gangs, desire to continue its weapons program as byte and prepares for his 1st white house meeting with south korean leader moon j n. north korea hangs over every discussion. i think that i know,
8:21 am
given the timing with with moon possibly at the end of his term, i think if he wants to get something done quickly, south korean president needs biden to help with a long term p. steel to the north. and south korea are still technically at war, lot or 5 and predecessors fail to achieve what that officials are playing down any glitzy grand bargain from biden bite. and gould out the possibility of a meeting can tell none of the north. i mean, is that even a possibility? i don't expect that to be top on his agenda for the past week americans attention has been mostly focused on the ongoing crisis in gaza. and israel. that may be a distraction from the meeting. one area where the to leaders can reach a deal is on cobra 19 vaccine. sol needs more and they're hoping that president bided can help. kimberly help hit algebra,
