general neighbourhood of occupied east jerusalem. such a significant location there in round. what was the reaction liked the ceasefire. announcement well as soon as the deadline came about though, a rock, there were fireworks fired from this neighborhood. let me just give you some geography that shake, draw over there. between the 2 hills. the people running round is a real kind of celebrate street atmosphere. everybody within that cause that would be paying, but it was tempered, i have to say with concern about what happens next. now i'm just going to point to the police checkpoint down there. this is one of the ways they keep the palestinians in occupied is through slim in check right now, if you're not from say your neighborhood and you're a pallet student, you can actually walk down the street. however you. if you're a jewish settler, you want to go to the small synagogue,
2:07 pm
been built that you're allowed to can completely freely. it's one of the things that a lot of palestinians living in this day. but as that is an example of the heavy handed tactics employed by the israeli police. now in the last few minutes, i have to tell you that to be like some of the 3rd holiest sites in islam where friday prayers were taking place as seen israeli police go in and use the crowd control measures which include tig. guess we're hearing that there are pitched battles between the palestinians who are in sight. alex, i'm off and the israeli police, this is all taken place in the last few moments. we are getting reports from eye witnesses inside that, and that's the kind of thing that the palestinians were afraid of. they were afraid that yes, they could celebrate that victory. they could celebrate the fact that there was a sci fi. but when it came down to friday prize,
2:08 pm
they were expecting something. and it seems like it has happened now. these ready police haven't issued a statement so far. we are trying to get a statement of why they went in and tried to disperse. i, soon as i have more, i'll let you know. thanks very much. my con. shake. just need to abraham joyce's life from ramallah in the occupied west bank. nita was the atmosphere like that. we can see there was a protest or a demonstration going on behind. you hundreds of thousands of gathered here at the manada square and central government law. they say that they want to show up the court, those in the gaza strip to tell them that they didn't forget them. and we've seen a large number of flags, the green flag behind being a boss, a woman. why is she here? and she says that he has managed to unite the past. that she feels that this is the moment that she couldn't have been. this is a moment that she is proud of because in the past the p a wouldn't allow her to be
2:09 pm
carrying a lag inside the westbank. so she says she is proud of the resistance and gaza. this is the feeling of many who say that israel didn't win and attack against gaza and the resistance to arms factions in god about did in fluid. so there is a feeling of victory here, although many here are telling us that they feel sad or the lives that were lost in the gaza strip. and i've also met a family where just leaving, they were telling me that they didn't feel that this through the, through present them. they seen a lot of faction flags i green and red flags for math. and for the popular the p, f. b, which is another left wing passing in the fraction. so there is this sense that there is victory, but there is sadness when it comes to why haven't that the gaza strip to talk more about why people are taking the join here now by protest. her name and you've been
2:10 pm
processing for the past few days. why are you here today? why am i here today? i'm here today to the lives that were lost, the love in name and the people love their families their home. and because you know it just feeling feeling kind of grief and sadness and also like wanting a moment of to show solidarity show solidarity to my palestinian people. and to see that, you know, in this protest, there are different flags. there are from different faction and it's important to keep in mind that liberation, right? palestine is still occupied because it's still under siege. so this is a moment to keep on remembering to keep the momentum going to say we,
2:11 pm
we need to still be active in the struggle for liberation for ending the occupation and ending the field. and in that regard, what do you want to see the palestinian authority to the palestinian authority? honestly it needs to take, you know, right now i haven't seen any type of active activity from them to show solidarity with the people. the people have lost hope in the you know, use, and we say p a and i'm like confused them like more. they again, because they are not the people on resisting in the struggle. they are not at the lines, they are not active. so it's like, stand up, be active, rise up where, where, where are you? thank you so much. in that point we've been asking several political analysts. what they think is going to happen now after the cease fire has been achieved. the many were telling us that they think that the palestinian authority is going to seize
2:12 pm
the moment. now that the biden administration has this issue on its agenda, we've been seeing paulson is saying in the past. and they're saying that the other issues were taking priority. want to seize that moment according to political analysts and try to engage in a political process. as far as many palestinians are concerned, one battle has been won, but the war is not over and they wants to see the occupation and okay, need it. thanks very much we'll talk to later. i'm sure need to abraham report and then from romano. daniel levy is the president of the us middle east project. he says the issues that triggered the conflict are far from resolved. i think the chances of the specific sensation of hostilities holding ah, quite significant, but on the but here are also significant. the wasn't just about garza, it began in jerusalem and i imagine attention will shift bear again. the possible force removal of palestinian families from their home unoccupied. east jerusalem
2:13 pm
shift iraq events on alex, a mosque, provocative israeli releasing measures. we've seen protest in the west bank and of course and this is very important indeed. what's been going on inside 48 israel. i think he even underestimated the extent to which this was an aggressive, almost declaration of war or much of the palestinian arab citizens of israel. he never once turned to the jewish politicians who he has brought into the connecticut who incite against the palestinians, citizens day and night, and said, you go to hush as well. this was a very, very aggressive, very political attack will not community still come here on alex's era, concerns are growing over the paste to south africa, the vaccination program as it enters its 3rd wave of cove it and efforts to revive

2:15 pm
and haunt you on saturday, a bit of a chance to dry out there. now across india, you know, the radiant fee we are watching the cycle and there. and now the potential of another to form in the baseband goal will potentially see some circulation around this in it has the potential to become another very severe psychotic storm. otherwise, across india, some heavy range ward care like you're not a cut rate through into time only do on saturday, but should i will stay dry. i wanted to put this on your radar. the risk of some sand and dust storms towards southern areas of pakistan. so karachi that includes you on saturday, sponsor cut on airways, the world of frequency share trading, exposed. i had this engine that was basically trading at could last $30000000.00 was a terrifying experience. how artificial intelligence as rates for stakes and wrists on the money market. there's markets go faster,
2:16 pm
faster. we're opening up the possibility for an instability, for no, no use with money bought on now, jesse ah, the me welcome back. welcome to just joining us with al jazeera alive from the top story. so far. today's slide between israel and how does appear to be holding it went into effect on friday, after 11 days of fighting was killed. these 243 palestinians, 12 people died in israel. news that the c spy has been met with celebrations across the palestinian territories displaced families have begun returning to their homes

for news of the truce. us president joe biden has welcome the agreement saying, israelis and palestinians deserve to live in peace. he says washington will continue to support israel militarily and pledged humanitarian aid palestinians in garza and alarming new health problem is complicating india's battle against corona virus. doctors, a dealing with an increasing number of patients diagnosed with so called black fungus. now it typically affects people whose immune system has already been compromised. some doctors suggest steroids being used to treat severe cases. a curve at 19 could be one of the causes, fungal infection and be fun. and well, every last some kind of a surgical procedure to be buddies there to be because they're ready to start with family long wouldn't make required. and if you can,
2:18 pm
earlier, it can be less understand whether it's like it might be funny using local media and it's just going to be an issue that i've not seen happening. metal in new delhi happening, even the name black fungus sons of putting, where is it come from and what does it do? so rita, this disease, black, fungus, or mucous my causes, as it's called, is basically from moles that are around us in our environment. but when you have, you know, when, when someone is immunocompromised, and especially with people who are diabetic, this more basically, in fact, your body has a very high fatality rate. according to the cdc, at least half the people who do get infected, do tend to die. still,
2:19 pm
it is treatable and now what you're seeing is the indian government keeping major tabs on the disease and it spread. now this disease was, is very rare but did exist in india, but the alarming rate at which it is increasing has been a matter of huge concern. at least 7000 people in india has been diagnosed with mucus. my courses and at least 200 people have died. now the government of india has called it in notifiable disease under the epidemic act. what this means is that every time a case is detected, states have to notify the union government and follow certain guidelines when it comes to treatment and screening. and to now 6 states have coded in notifiable disease under this epidemic act. i'm the prime minister also called it a big challenge in just battle to battle against coven. now, the big, the other concern that is facing india is the shortage off the drug use to treat
2:20 pm
this disease. several hospitals are saying they don't have enough of digits of this disease. many of them have taught at ward to treat patients who are being diagnosed with black fungus. the deli government has now regulated the drug sale, so that people don't hold it. and also the more the government has off 5 other pharmaceutical companies in the country to stop manufacturing this drug briefly path nate, the health care providers and the health care source, is there an india. they've got such a big fight on their hands with cove? it any way, can they deal with this particular issue as well? you know, it is complicated things because you have a system where the resources are already stretched. i mean, even today, india has recorded more than 259000 new cases of corona virus. and more than 4000 people died on thursday because of this disease. and now you
2:21 pm
have a system where you have another thought of disease. because off, you know, all the use of steroids because in the treatment for cool. but the other big concern is that in india, because india has one of the highest populations of diabetic people, there's a disease does tend to is therefore of seeing a huge rise in the country. but, you know, as i said, the government has taken a few measures to make sure there is treatment available. you know, new guidelines are being released by hospitals that people can, you know, keep, you know, people who have immunocompromised systems are, you know, get screening and do get treatment. but it is a huge challenge. okay, we'll leave it there happening. thanks very much. property, motel report and i, there from new delhi, south africa has started the 2nd phase of its vaccination program focusing on people over the age of 60. but the government has been condemned because of
2:22 pm
a slow rollout for me to miller. as more now from consumer natal province at this vaccination site and peter merits bug rooper now lines up with hundreds of people for their 1st of 2 jobs. this is the 2nd phase of south africa's vaccination program, and the government plans to vaccinate 5000000 elderly people by the end of june. i've just said in the queue, which was very, very far, very efficiently done. and very nicely that they took care of all the over 61 and the there been any old person sitting around for a long time. so far more than 470000 health workers have received a job through a trial program. almost half a 1000000 still need to be vaccinated. the government says it wants to be vaccinating 250000 people a day by september. but their concerns, the program is and will be slower than expected. but between now and the end of
2:23 pm
june, we should every 5th goes with 6000000 boxes. we're trying to get more than that. but because of some of the days we're trying to deliver a research for later on india. and so we're hoping that on the 2nd phase, when looking at 16000000 people vaccinated, the government says a shortage and supply may delay 2nd doses of 5 vaccine up to 3 months. and some a worry that virus variance 1st identified in the u. k. in india will impact south africa. several cases of both have been identified here. the government has for months, want people, a 3rd wave is expected, and it's not been confirmed in 2 provinces. so electric is also entering winter when more people, especially the vulnerable, will become ill. government says it's focusing on vaccinating the elderly, and it's aiming to vaccinate also of africans by march next year. that's off to
2:24 pm
saying it will meet its deadline this year. for many watching and waiting for the jap, shifting target is wiring for me to mila ultra 0 was luna. tell south africa now. the political party, me and mas as the leader on suit. she is being dissolved while the countries electoral commission. that's according to reports from some local media outlets that the commission, which was appointed by military rulers fallen coo and february, accused the party of electoral fraud. florence louis is following developments from call and on the military when they took of a power in february, it justified its position on the basis of electro fraud. so it's following that line. now, one of the 1st things it did after the coup was detained election commission officials and investigated senior members. then it appointed its people, people that trust it to the election commission body. now there's new genta appointed electron election commission held a meeting on friday,
2:25 pm
and it's chad person said that they've made that decision. this was a meeting attended by political parties as well. but many of the pro democracy parties refused to attend. so it was attended mostly by the pro military parties. now the chairperson is non said that the election commission intends to dissolve the national league for democracy party. this is a party led by on santucci and it 182 percent of elected seats in last year's election. and the chair also said that the end of these leaders were he considered them traitors, and he said, action would be taken. that's as far as we know now, it has to be said that no credible election monitoring body has supported the military's claims of intellectual fraud. in fact, quite the opposite. they were to foreign election. observe the missions in myanmar during the polls last year. and they both said that by and large, the voting and the results result reflected the people's, when the military did say that when it took over power in february,
2:26 pm
but it intends to hold an election. but i think from what we're seeing that whatever election, whatever shape the election takes, it's not going to be one that will be free and will the ongoing situation for journalists and reporters covering the military cracked gun and me and my has grown increasingly dangerous. many have now gone into hiding or they've escaped to the neighboring countries. scott jaila picks up that story from bangkok. the night raids like this, one of the many dangerous journalists are facing in myanmar tongue me at ly was live streaming for the democratic voice of burma, known as the v. b. when he was arrested in march a few days earlier, he'd reported on a deadly crackdown by security forces. since the coo, on the 1st of february, more than 70 journalists, have been arrested. many independent media outlets have had their licenses revoked, including v. b reporters face intimidation, torture and are in constant fear of inform. it's turning them in. i spoke to don, went to d, v
2:27 pm
b in an undisclosed location. he escaped through ethnic rebel held territory. all was all the people who know you are going to be at the same time, you know, some information secret informants of the police, the military around you. you can know who's going to install us to the military. he says he suffers from survivors. guilt, he's left, but many of his colleagues remain. the need to continue their work is paramount. he says, and he's not alone. many other journalists have gone into hiding or fled to neighboring countries, including thailand. but 3 d. v be journalists and to activists were arrested in the city of tang my earlier this month for entering thailand, illegally. they said they had to escape me and mar, fearing they might be killed. they're being held in jail awaiting a trial that could lead to deportation. so with thailand they have law played host to many displaced communities. and so we're really urging the time already to continue providing safety not to court. these journalists and activists,
2:28 pm
or anyone really from me and my who is coming for safety for ty, foreign ministry, is that there are concerns about the case, but they are seeking a humanitarian solution for the group of 5. but it's a very delicate situation for the administration here. ty, prime minister 10 or a former general who initially came to power through a coo, has a close relationship with me in my junk liter gentlemen, online for the journalists still in me and march, they have a decision to make almost every day stay and continue to report or if they have the means go into hiding or leave the country and continue to work in exile. got either al jazeera, bangkok. ok. let's go back to developing aspects of what's going on between garza and israel. if you're with us at the top of the head correspondent in rank con, telling us that there was some trouble reportedly going on at the mosque alex, the most compound, we got a 15 2nd loop of pictures here, purportedly showing us what's going on there. as we look at these pictures,
2:29 pm
we'll talk to our correspondent in round con, in run, we did have a live shot. we don't have it anymore. we've got these 15 seconds of pictures. give us a sense of what the authorities are saying there as to what's going on there right now. no word from the old or if you play football, when this is inside the compound. a saying that after friday, pres, a lot of people just stayed within the compound, it was celebrating the ceasefire between us and the israeli government. they were saying they were chanting when a contingent of israeli police. now there is and there's ready police station. next to the compound, came into the compound. they started using crowd control measures that they use all the time that include stung grenades. smoke bombs includes also tig, as they started firing in that crowd, in an effort to try and disperse them whenever the is ready, police go and it's back kind of tactic that they use to try and get people out of
2:30 pm
the comp out. now, i've been in that compound when this is taken place and it is your enclosed in a spaces. no, really, you can run and avoid those crime control measures that take us flies up into your face. and that's the kind of thing that we've been told by when this is inside the compound that's been that has been going on. now in the last few moments, a lot of people from alex, i've come back to the shake, draw neighborhood where i am, the, i've been, some people middle ground and they've been chanting. alexa, alexa, so clearly something has happened. now whether that has an impact on the sci fi unlikely, i'm asked, we'll be looking the same pitch, looking at no measure whether alexa is actually under threat, or whether this is an incident that they can stomach now. but given everything that we've seen over the last 11 days, given the fact that once alexa was targeted, this is one of this box that created this last 11th.
