6:03 pm
shoulder to shoulder looking only at one thing, bringing back the security and quiet to the people of israel as the prime minister of israel. the only thing that influences my decision is the safety and security of israel. and keeping at citizens and soldiers alive. the main goal of this operation was to hit the terrorist operation hard and bring back peace to date. not everything is known to the public and to whom us. and it will come out in time. at the stage, what i can say is we did brave and new things. got hollow correspondent, harry force that isn't garza for us her to me and also joins us live from the mount of olives and occupied east jerusalem. i need to, abraham is in ramallah. net speak to harry fast now, harry, it does look like the sci fi is so far holding it does. that means that people here have a chance to examine what has happened, and it is pretty devastating. what has happened. we heard the latest government
6:04 pm
figures that a 1000 times have been completely destroyed. 700 severely damaged. the 14000 partially damaged, so that is more than 80000 people that were talking about that with severe or major issues to do with, with the homes and the ability to carry on normal life. however, given all of that, it is pretty extraordinary. what is the atmosphere here is people talking about a post spoon, sort of a to celebrate treat atmosphere because they are celebrating victory. people are putting on their best clothes. they're walking around. finally able to get out into the street heading down to the, from an out for the sunset. and so it is this strange kind of mix of having to pick up the pieces of this very, very damaging, deadly 11 days. well, at the same time celebrating, what people hear is victory not began in the early hours of this morning. at the same time, the sci fi i came to was the, from a sci fi became
6:05 pm
a reality in gaza. there was a sense of liberation from days of destructive deadly strikes and artillery. also a celebration of what, how must, and its military lead him home a death say is a victory over israel. i bad, they killed young man. so my grandson was born and we called him home a death. we called another child, alexis thought they are in good health. they will grow up and be young men. god is gracious. the families who sought refuge in schools now able to return to the homes . they let in fear. this is a joyful moment for all gaza. this is the victory for done for each, for jerusalem. not been celebrations to an occupied east. jerusalem hammer said it had won concessions in the ceasefire, restricting israeli actions in the neighborhood of shakes euro and on the lock. so most compound, israel has denied that saying the sci fi was unconditional. but with victorious
6:06 pm
chanting, spreading across the occupied west bank, i must clearly feels it has improved it standing among palestinians in relation to the rival satisfaction of palestinian president bus molecule. what will come after the bezel of jerusalem sword is not like what came before the posting and people have back the resistance and know that the resistance is what will liberate the land and protect the holy sites in television subjected in recent days to the heaviest, most concentrated garza rocket fire in any previous war, the sense was of where we relief that the fire is good for humanitarian reasons. to civilians the relax a little bit on both sides. i'm skeptical though that it will really be kept for a while. unfortunately, i don't feel like we have much time for, for the next escalation. if anything significant will change, like come out, we'll get to israel says the days of strikes him god,
6:07 pm
zone tunnels. miss l site senior commanders have set how much back years and restored is ready military deterrents? president biden said the us would help replenish israel's i and don't. and he rocket batteries and aid rebuilding in gaza through the palestinian authority. not how must i also emphasize what i said throughout this continent. united states fully supports israel's right to defend itself against indiscriminate robert rocket attacks and mosse and other gods, based terrorist groups that are the lives of innocent civilians in his room. 12 people including 2 children, have been killed in israel and the 11 days of fighting. israel's army says it will keep its increased military presence in place for some days. as civilian restrictions are eased in gaza to daddy, life is starting to resume here. 232 people were killed. 65 of them children. each side's victory claim is at best open to doubt what is certain. the destruction and
6:08 pm
grief left behind hurry, given that the issue is underlying this conflict really haven't been address, do we expect that the sci fi will actually continue to hold? well, that's one big question. given the fact they already, we and i'm sure what is going to talk about this in a 2nd. but we've seen these incidents on the box, the most compound, the hamas, and the joint command room, spokespeople thing and eat his mouth honey of the leader of how much they've been saying that they have exacted a major concession from israel in order to, to get the sci fi granted, and not being that israel does not continue to show aggression in their words, in check, or on the most compound. and so we've, we've had a statement the last few minutes from the joint command room, which is the, to the ration of all of the fighting factions and saying that they have shown unprecedented fire. jerusalem has unified, the palestinian people, have adopted new tactics. and israel failed to expect such
6:09 pm
a response. any aggression injury than will be met with more such fighting. so we wait to see exactly whether they just try and ignore that. that happened again, maybe it's not a big enough issue. what has happened to induce them? so far on this day, of course, israel also saying that it is exactly huge price in terms of b at the damage done to the military infrastructure inside gaza along that goes with what we're seeing, the civilian infrastructure to now i think not aside, appears to want any more of what has been an extremely difficult 11 days, especially here in gaza. so we wait to see exactly what the next steps will be. hi, force on the ground for us in gaza. thank you so much, terry hall. let's now speak to her about him need. she joins us from the mount of olives and occupied easter recent order as he was referring to that katy tension still running high as resources vividly at alex today.
6:10 pm
yesterday i think it was quite unexpected in the sense that it was really less than 12 hours after the these fires aren't the place they were doing. had to gone to alaska accept most for the don't prayers. someone has. some people have lingered around, they were chanting slogans in support of guys they were carrying the ballast in flag that is really for the says that some of the you were on the complex down the platform that we're actually throwing stows at the israeli police. however, the palestinians are saying that actually they had been harassed at the very early hours when they were arriving to do most during the month. they were surrounded by the police and they felt a lot of pressure. but i think this is just telling about really how things are
6:11 pm
going to go ahead and how fragile the fire can be. in the sense that harry was saying clearly said that it had gotten guarantees that they wouldn't be any more sort of changes around the compound or bad materialized so far. as we've seen, both sides coming success with their respective campaigns. you can you talk us through the rhetoric that we've been hearing from news randy. science well from is really sad. we've heard we didn't hear much what we did here is the government saying 5 minutes to an attorney. i was saying that the, the fire was mutual and unconditionally didn't reveal anything else. about the negotiations that happened there, the mediation,
6:12 pm
the mediation that went through the egyptian, he seems to think that he seemed to so really to this really the people that the mission was accomplished militarily. that all the targets that the military had set out to have had been hit and damage and that how much had been a great blow that had set it back a few years. that's all he said so far, but he is coming under attack already from his political opponents and also from his potential political allies. some of them is twisted in the far right groups, being quite angry that the operation finished, they want to see a more forceful operation. how much they want to do much more harm than much for the ability to. so, you know, and then there's other political opponents, but that was the sort of said left are saying that really this whole operation had to do really with the political gains of germany. done, you know, on
6:13 pm
a domestic level this country has been in limbo. i would say for the past 2 years had been for elections now hasn't managed to bring about the coalition to govern discussion at the moment the mandate is in the hands of yeah e p and some of his opponents were saying that he was dragging on this war to try to drag it through the mandate. let be. we will hear more from him, but at the moment he is trying to play and sell it the. this is a great, big story for israel, even though many would also off how come after each war. well, the fire power of has become stronger and stronger, and those mis as a rocket, the must have a longer rage and hit for to deep into israel. what will he need there with all that has for us from occupied east through sun. thank you so much harder where we can now speak can either abraham,
6:14 pm
she joins us from ramallah and the occupied westbank need to give him the humanitarian crisis that we really seen deepen over the last 11 days. how is the palestinian authority dealing with the whole situation? what are their priorities? now? the palestinian authority has maintained a position regarding keeping this whole solution to the escalation in diplomatic means. so this is why they are hoping to lead the reconstruction efforts. as you know, the past in authority is the face of the house to new people when it comes to the international community. so any talks that need to happen should happen through the past and in or would happen rather through the palestinian authority. this is why they've been trying to use this moment that the past that the us administration is paying attention to the palestinian issue to kind of go back to the political process. and this is something that many palestinians here are against. they don't
6:15 pm
want to see more negotiations while the israeli occupation is still on the ground is really illegal, is really supplement expansion still ongoing. so i believe that the palestinian authority is going to seize this moment and try and engage in a political process because this is the talk that the past the new president has been taking. he's a firm believer in negotiations. he believes that this is how the palestinians are going to get a new dave with them as a capital. have you believe that there is a better chance now that why didn't is an office and not trump neither. abraham, they're on the ground for us in ramallah and the occupied west bank. thank you so much, nita. well, there's still plenty more to this news hour, including us president joe biden. welcome the steel calling it a genuine opportunity for laughing peace in the middle east. as you went to just all sides to renew dialogue will be live in washington and just a moment. and also the dangerous facing journalist in neon law. why they can't stay
6:16 pm
and they can't go. and columbia is trip to co hosting south america's biggest. how's it continues to deal with anti government protest? ah, well, the us president joe biden has applauded deceased by agreement between israelis and palestinians, saying that his administration worked tirelessly behind the scenes. let's now speak for our white house correspondent can be how could to get some more details. kimberly, given all the pressure that he was under, there must be a bit of a relief for president biden. there is no question that the white house is breathing a sigh of relief following the news of the the fire. and what they are saying is that, especially this is something that has culminated as a result of careful diplomacy, quiet diplomacy that occurred behind the scenes all this week. in fact,
6:17 pm
the white house press secretary saying that we're more than 80 telephone calls to world leaders to mid level leaders in order to achieve this. and of course, working with partners such as egypt and jordan and cut power in order to communicate with her mom that the united states considers a terrorist group and so will not speak directly. and so they feel that this is a sense of achievement in terms of the fragile calm that now exists, but they know there's still more work to be done, given the fact that there is a need to address what this administration and what the united nations is. called the root causes of this conflict in order to ensure that there is ultimately a lasting piece will. so kimberly, what should we then expect when it comes to us to privacy on this and the next for a while. the white house is very clear that it wants to continue a level of engagement through is mid level diplomats in order to try and continue
6:18 pm
to address the situation. but there is a challenge for this democratic party and for joe biden. and that is that this conflict has exposed a rift that exist here domestically in the united states. the fact that there are many younger democrats who are very pro palestinian do not accept the explanations of some of the older democrats, like nancy pelosi, the how speaker or even joe, by them the us president, that there should be unconditional support and unconditional military support for israel and not the same for the palestinians. so what we see is moving forward, there is going to be a shifting landscape where there is a shipping landscape and that will have an impact on diplomacy in this issue. in the days and weeks ahead. white house correspondent kennedy. how could that? thanks so much. kimberly. well, let's now get the thoughts of out of here as senior political analyst. my wonder sharra mom, when we just had kimberly that talk about all of this quiet diplomacy. so let me start with the big question, then how did egypt do this? and will this cease fire actually whole
6:19 pm
it could, it's the fragile the the details are yet to be worked out and real, real life in the sense of how much or how would the addictions on others be able to survey the implementation of the fire. but clearly there's been sufficient international pressure on the israeli government to stop the fight. and clearly, garza has suffered enough and clearly as well how much was able to break these reiney deterrence and achieve whatever they wanted to achieve in terms of its strategic goals. even though this has come on with a very, very heavy price. so i don't know for the time being this could hold. unfortunately, in terms of the deadlock, we are back where we were before the war. so you would wonder why this commission
6:20 pm
the 1st place, what's the point of yet another war when the results are or not even from the very outset, to be more of the same because we've already been at it 3 times before this year. we all remember there's been 3 guys awards already or and just and the major is a new offenses in 2008, 2012 in 2014. and for this to be repeated again, this year was such a huge, huge human cost. it's just so counterproductive that you would wonder what must happen now for this not to be repeated. and as you would say, some sort of a political solution, low on both sides really gained some political ground, both sides from the fighting. and they're both now claiming victory as we see what at least success to some extent. can you talk us through the political calculations they're having to now make here going forward and, and where that might leave
6:21 pm
a future peace person i must say almost step to go to clear and i'm not usually that's got to go to call about such issues. but i would say that's a go to med 0 political games out of this war 0 prime minister attorney who might have made some political gains personally. but that even that remains to be seen because the criticism against his performance is quite high. now why do i say that i didn't hear his press conference, then it's not much of a press conference because you would not answer any questions. why? why usually when you have something to boast about like a victory, you answer questions, but i don't think he wanted to answer any of the tough questions. why? because he is read, and i don't mean that nathan, you know, israel army, which is a far superior army, certainly more than her mouse. and certainly more than any other country in the region. unsurprisingly, one militarily against him out,
6:22 pm
she was able to flex its muscles, its high, thick weapons against him. as there is no doubt about that. anyone who was or is or was surprised by that must have been living on another planet. what happened is, although is there any one minute thoroughly lost strategically and politically? and why do i say that it last politically because the world is today, more against is there than it was 2 weeks ago. there is less sympathy to which is today than they were 2 weeks ago. israel, according to israel news themselves, has lost the hash tag war against the palestinians. there is less sympathy around the world for is read strategically and that's the more important point for israel . at this point in time. it was not able, after pounding guys out of the cup,
6:23 pm
decapitating hamas. it was not able to thought any defeat hammers. it was not able to restrain him, not from using rocket yet again in the future and threaten israel. yet again, it was not able to force any political conditions, let alone surrender on the palestinian group within, within the strip so on and all the strategic objectives that is there. i was hoping to achieve this time out on like 2014. now it did not that you but mar, one, you're referring them to the military campaigns that we've seen, right? but over the 11 days, we haven't just seen rockets from home, off and strikes from israel. we've also seen these various very deadly incidents of communal violence on both sides. those tensions, presumably haven't gone anywhere and there are more flash points ahead. what should we be expecting? and that's,
6:24 pm
that's goes even further to the detriment of the nathan, the whole offensive and gaza. i wouldn't call it communal violence. what i was calling is state supported police sponsored a times violence against a small minority 20 percent of the population, which is mostly an armed, while most of the jewish israeli is attacked. what armed or state sponsored? so it's not exactly communal violence, but yes, there was ethnic tensions between the arab been out of minority and israel and the jewish majority. and that, as, as i said, is to the detriment of. busy the nathan, you know, project or strategy, because again until 2 weeks ago, everyone at least in the israeli establishment, so that the palestinian israeli were in the pocket, the policy and minority in asia and or at least one part of it was wanting to enter to accomplish governments with design as parties. well, today we are looking at
6:25 pm
a different picture today. the student in israel joined signor's in general. so them in the west bank and gaza, basically about a city is everywhere, including the palace, things in israel have spoken with one words in sort of that with the, with the brothers and sisters and gaza as well as in, in the fight in the struggle for freedom from, from, from occupation and racism, and discrimination. so all of that, once again, did not go well for prime minister and now hold for a while. i'm shara that out there as senior political analyst, always great to get your thoughts. thanks for being with us. again, marlon. well, still ahead hear you on our 0. spain sends back thousands of microns to morocco, huge influx, and to, to, to in recent days. and we'll hear from one of the most successful gymnast imminent
6:26 pm
history. she proposed her final game all about coming up in force with a hello. we've got a run of son across the middle east and high temperatures to a lot of heat going on. but there is also the risk of some sand and dust being kicked up toward northern portions of saudi arabia, into kuwait, and southern sections of iraq and also southern areas of pockets. don incorrectly was just earlier in the week. we saw an intense dust storm, but i don't think we'll see a repeat of that on saturday. and that high heat we were talking about can be found in doha. 44 degrees on saturday, that wall above average temperature will come down a bit over the next few days across turkey. we've had some rain sweep across the boss for that knock down temperatures. same goes for anchor. you were just 31
6:27 pm
a day ago, and now you're down to 17. are heaviest, strain towards the tropics of africa can be found into the central african republic on saturday, right through into the gulf of guinea. ok, now let's go to southern sections of africa and we're drying out toward the western cape. or we did see a bit of heavy rain over the last little while. conditions are looking good in cape town with the high of 17. let's see if we can keep it go and look ahead to the next 3 days. temperatures will actually come up will pop up above average to high of 22 degrees on sunday with plenty of sun. the growing up in parson, unforgiving circumstances. children learn to pay dangerous gain. the thing is to have worn down by frustration and broken promises, young men living under the constant threat of imprisonment. they took me to the
6:28 pm
chief and blindfolded me the time for them to regain control of their lives is when the boys return prison. 9. inside and out on al jazeera. in the 1st episode of science in a golden age, i'll be exploring the contributions made my scholars during the medieval slamming period in the field of politics. professor jim alcholay li brings the brilliance of a past and light point. incredible doesn't the real, all we've done is block out the light from the room and then allow it to come to the school episode one of science in a golden age on al jazeera. ah
6:29 pm
ah. hello daniel watching al jazeera. that's remind you about top stories here, this allen, a sci fi between israel and mass appears to be holding, and went into effect on friday, off the 11 days of fighting, which killed at least 243 palestinians. 12 people died and israel both sides. meanwhile, all claiming victory. news that that's fine, has been met with celebrations across the palestinian territories to say families and begun returning to their homes following news of doctrine. and us president or button has also welcomes the agreement. thing is really isn't californians because of live in peace. he says washington will continue to support israel militarily, but also pledged humanitarian aid to palestinians. and god. well let's get more now on our top story. amman, con is joining us from the shake jaren neighbourhood and occupied east jerusalem. and we're on the push for evictions where you are standing now. this one of the
6:30 pm
flash points actually set off this round of fighting. how is the news of the 5 being received over there? well, to him on friday morning, when the cecil i came into effect though, was this fi. what celebration, palestinians were out in the streets. they were chanting, they were happy. they were saying that this was a good thing and everybody was. busy in a celebratory mood last it all the way up until friday prayers, little palestinians from this neighborhood when just down the road to the mosque. islam said the site where. busy they gave their friday press and then they were celebrating in the compound of alex most and then he is ready. police moved in to the compound using heavy crowd control tactics. stung grenades and guests. and there were scuffles that broke out between the palestinians. and these ready police, i've actually been in that compound when scuffles broke it out previously because
6:31 pm
it's walled off, it's very difficult to actually scatter. anyway, also we were hearing that the years really please actually attack the journalist. but with that we spoke to eye witnesses. they said that we were, we were simply celebrating, but he's right. the police issued a statement saying that there was a minor protest that broke out that they went in to clear. but every single palestinian we spoke to said actually we were just celebrating. and that's what happened here and shake, draw later on in the afternoon. those a protest from the israeli left wing group piece. now they were gathered in a fair number of people. they had various members that, that connected with them. showing solidarity with the palestinians. walkie bodies, jerusalem, but let me just show you something. you see the police checkpoint just found that that's a fairly recent edition to shake drugs. if you're a palestinian and you live in mister islam and you want to go into that neighborhood to see friends or family or to do some shopping. you can't get in the really police will not allow you. you can probably see some policy that trying to
6:32 pm
get in, but to no avail. if you are is really you can just walk through that checkpoint without any kind of problem whatsoever. and this is now what the palestinians are saying. yes, there is a cease fire. yes, up declared victory. how mass have done us a great favor. but putting israel on the back foot. but what happens next? we're still worried about these forced evictions. we're still worried that we might get thrown out of our homes. yes, things about how much may have changed things. we use ready government, maybe declaring victory. what happens to us in this day? but and as you said, the ship, this was where all began for the big sins, where the spoke amman con there on the ground for us, and shake gera, unoccupied, east jerusalem. thank you so much for me. now moving on to other news and a major conference on how to beat the current of ours is kicked off with
6:33 pm
a pledge to give poor countries more vaccines is lee is co hosting a g 20 summit with the european commission to address the global health crisis the european union says it will donate a 100000000 current of ours vaccines by the end of this year. while leaders are also expected to discuss scaling up vaccine production and also avoiding national export them. let's be clear. we are at war with the buyers. and if you look at why we the vitals, we need to deal with our weapons. we the rules of economy and we are not yet there . and this is true for vaccines, and it's true for other important components of the fight against the vitals. now go back to the delivery whenever the $70000000.00, those is that all globes, but to, to vex the nationally is limited production capacity and lack of funding. that figure is just 65000000. i call you 20 companies to lead by example and contribute their full share of funding. while india is corona virus death,
6:34 pm
toll is continuing to rise, but the number of new infections is falling. more than 4200 deaths were reported on friday, while new cases fell by around 15000 on thursday, one of the countries local vaccine manufacturers announce plans to ramp up production. india is facing a severe shortage of jobs with just 3 percent of its population and not related. meanwhile, though, an alarming new health problem is also complicating india's battle against the current of iris doctors. they are dealing with an increasing number of patients diagnosed with so called black fungus. it typically affects people who is immune systems of already been compromised. some dr. suggest steroids that have been used to treat severe cases of carbon 1900 could be one of the causes happening. miss l has more now from your daddy, the rapid rise in cases of black fungus are musical. my causes have complicated matters in india but quite a lot. 1 at least 7000 people have been diagnosed with mucus. my courses, at least 200 people have died. the government of india has now called this disease
6:35 pm
in notifiable disease under the epidemic act. what this means is that every time a case is detected, states have to notify the government of india and also follow certain guidelines on screening and testing and diagnosis. the prime minister also today called it a big challenge in india, fight against coven 19. actually 6 of the states including coming now to tell and garner and roger on have also called it a notifiable disease under the epidemic act. now the over use of steroids and diabetes make people if passionate vulnerable to this disease, it is a disease with high fatality rate. according to the c, d. c, at least half the people who do get infected do die. but it is treatable if detected early. so now hospitals are dedicating wards, especially to treat black fungus. but there is
6:36 pm
a growing concern about is shortage off the drug use to treat this disease. several hospital saying they do not have enough of this drug. and so the delhi government has now regulated the sale of this drug to prevent hoarding. and the government of india has now off several other pharmaceutical companies to start manufacturing it . for a non bon is a specialist in bioethics and public health research and yet employ university. he says this fungal epidemic is piling pressure on hospitals that are already struggling. it was getting a fairly serious in fact it's already being characterized as an epidemic within a band to make there now cases being reported from many states in india and the problem of the shortage of the medicine, specifically and potatoes and b is the cause for body now remember, a lot of these patients are patients will be discharged post recovery from cobra 19, but they have probably gotten the fungal infection during their stay in the
6:37 pm
hospital once they've gone back home. steroids, which are a mainstay of treatment. and there is enough evidence that said, or it's a useful, but the problem is that it's also pause, lower immunity and fees and show that levels. and given already that many people in india have diabetes, that can be a double whammy. so the. ready lord immunity and the highest levels are a sort of an invitation to this find this to say, and this is now leading to an increasing number of patients being identified with the disease. always the early identification is a key requirement because then management is relatively more easier but it wants cases can be very complicated to treat that can be long treatment. it can also won a lot of surgeries and require a lot of specialist who are in short supply. so especially with the spread of disease to linda. i think this would be a major cause of what he over the next few weeks. and hopefully we'll see some control happening. well, south africa has meanwhile begun the 2nd phase of its vaccination program. they're focusing on people over the age of 60. or the government has been criticized 1st
6:38 pm
floor, roll out and remains the worst hit country on the continent, and they are growing fears of a possible stud, waived mila has more now from cuz they're going to tell problems at this vaccination site and peter merits bug. rupert now lines up with hundreds of people for their 1st of 2 jobs. this is the 2nd phase of south africa, the vaccination program, and the government plans to vaccinate 5000000 elderly people by the end of june, said in the queue, which was very, very far, very efficiently done. and very nicely, 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. do 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,
6:39 pm
