the sentencing of derek children will be handed down on june 25th join us for lonely coverage at the historic us court case reaches a conclusion. june on i'll just use the united states pledges to help rebuild gather during a trip by the secretary of state. try to show up the sci fi with israel. we believe the palestinians and israelis equally deserved to live safely and securely, to enjoy equal measures of freedom opportunity, and democracy. ah, good morning everyone. i'm come off santa maria with the world news from out just 0 that these fire in garza is holding that the territory now has to renew it.

struggle to control covered 19 infections. also in the news, more than 2000000 people are forced to take shelter with a powerful cycle and hits eastern india and an official partner for the tokyo olympic games calls for them to be cancelled because of the cove at risk. ah, well diplomatic efforts are continuing this weapons days late, his work to cement the cease fire between israel and mass. but for many the attention is now shifting to another potential flashpoints as an israeli district court reviews another case of forced evictions. this time 6 palestinian families in phil one in occupied east jerusalem. so we will start with hold up till her maiden occupied easter islam to take us through what is expected today.

well, shortly we should be hearing for these for 2 of these 6 families who are phase of facing for civil eviction. now that this is an appeals hearing, the judge could very well the rule that the eviction should go ahead, but then the families are allowed to further appeal the supreme court. but i have to tell you, as you mention this in the mind, the palestine is exactly the same issue as in ships that ra and there is a little bit of tension behind me just 10 minutes ago in front of the court, which is now behind that bus, you had the extended family out there wearing t shirts and holding banners in support of their relatives and in support. denouncing that, they're being forcibly evicted. then you have some activists and then the right

police move. there's been a bit of a couple of shuffle, but they push them right and be at the end of the street, round the corner. they don't want anyone to be in front of the courthouse. you mentioned shake off to explain to us how this. well, does it differ at all from that situation, which was let's face it, the flash point for a lot of what we saw in garza. it doesn't differ in this says that this is again a policy of forcible eviction of people who have been living there since. 1967 actually i spoke to one of the family members. he said, well, we originally from the old city which is old and occupied. a by the jerusalem, so if they want to evict us from here, then they should at least give us back home in the old city. so it is part one even more than it is part of

a campaign that has been going on for decades to kind of push out the palestinians from these neighborhoods surrounding in occupied east jerusalem. and instead of them, you have settlers moving in and in the wind there is a good number of settlers that have already moved in and you know, the, the illegal us settlement that should be played bit it under national law. the problem also is that okay, 5 is do these people say why is basically the occupied was bag if the on the israel 7 know even if it should not be according to international law of occupation. what our bill, how may didn't occupied east jerusalem. thank you for that, starting to see some pictures coming through as well on the right hand side of your screen of scuffles. the getting is really placed in attendance that it has

a similar feel to what we have seen in the past. the tensions i've shut off and, well, any number of israeli settlements illegal is really settlements in the territory in run con, in so one let spring you in. now to i guess just give us a little more about what makes this area. so content just and see it behind yours, that would be maybe you can give us a sort of a little look around there as well. yeah, absolutely. let's start with that 1st. so that's so one over there. now a lot of the families being displaced and have been displaced, i've been displaced, were very simple, reason jewish settlers that stated aim. and this isn't hyperbole, is to get rid of every single palestinian family and occupied easterly slept, make the entire neighborhood jewish. that's stated, aim now they doing that through legal means. they sometimes a particular merely days of it's been going on since the ninety's they by

properties from palestinians. now that is completely legal and nobody's disputing that that has actually happened. but now what they're saying is that they questioning the laws that the palestinians bought properties from jordan when this was jordan in 6566 and saying that those agreements are now not void. and that's what they're trying to push through the courts right now. now when jewish settlers actually move into a neighborhood like this, they don't just move in and become good neighbors. what happens is that they bring with the board of police. they bring with israeli police security and even minor infractions. minor disputes turned into quite serious incidence between the settlers, between the police and it's often the palestinians who gets arrested, who get taken out of the homes. and this is very well documented by bit selim and piece now and other israeli activist organizations as a pattern that occurs in occupied east jerusalem. now the other way that these

radio authorities harassed the people living in fil one say for example, you want to build an extension on your property, happens all over the world. here. you won't get permission to do that from these really authorities. they very rarely granted. now sometimes the extensions are made and then no formal extension is not made concrete or anything like that. but the israeli authorities find out and they demolish the houses is just an example of another type of harassment that the palestinians face. now there is, i 3rd reason this area so contentious to believe that the city of david is actually somewhere around here. there's a lot of excavations going on and the jewish settlers believe that this area in particular, holds quite significant religious value to them. so that's the reason they move in, but once they do move income, all i have to say this quite clearly. the palestinians living in this neighborhood face an enormous amount of harassment. ok ever come

in. so one, thank you for that. giving us a look around this, as we say, very contentious area. ok. the secretary of state, you remember he was in the region yesterday now on his way to egypt after spending the last 24 hours with but israeli and palestinian leaders will speak to diplomatic as to james bass in western on about that shortly. first, his report on entity blinking diplomatic efforts on tuesday. arriving in tell of eve, the us secretary of state on a trip with a narrow ame keeping things calm after the sea spar. his 1st stop, an audience with israel's prime minister pledging the u. s. is continuing commitment to israel's defense. but adding this, we believe the palestinians and israelis equally deserved to live safely and securely, to enjoy equal measures of freedom opportunity, and democracy to be treated with dignity. that echoed by the israeli leader. his

words, perhaps unconvincing to some of the leading and 11 de bombardment of garza, we discussed also how to improve the lives in the conditions of the palestinians. the managerial conditions in ramallah. the 1st visit by a secretary of state to the president of the palestinian authority for over 3 years old contact was stopped when the trumpet ministration announced it was moving the u . s. embassy to jerusalem. there was a cordial tone, but it was clear one of the president central de bonds was not on the u. s. agenda . one of the month under coon. we hope that the future will be full of diplomatic activities in order to reach a comprehensive solution. and to put an end to recent events, president bass was told though that the u. s. would reopen its consulate general in east jerusalem. a diplomatic representation specifically for palestinians, which was close by president trump. there was

a commitment to help and the rebuilding of garza, after the 11th day war and a new package of funding for the un and the palestinian authority. james phase reporting there, he's now live in west jerusalem. take us through what's happening today. egypt and jordan, is that correct? that's where secretary blinking is going secretary lincoln in the air at the moment on his way to car. i'll tell you about that at the moment. but 1st what's going on here and that is a visit by dominic rob the u. k foreign set country following and secretary, lincoln's footsteps right now he's meeting the prime minister and israel benjamin netanyahu. then going on to c, mahmoud abbas the policy authority president in ramallah. and the question that is whether you are going to see him echoing the line of secretary blinking at the very narrow not. so i'm bishop's plan just to keep the com and hold the c spar, or whether he's going to push for negotiations for active negotiations towards the

2 state solution. those words not hosted by secretary blinking work, perhaps reminding you, come all what you were saying back on thursday. these were words uttered in the security council. recent events highlight the urgent need to make progress towards the 2 state solution. so the case position is somewhat different from the u. s. as i say, secretary blinkin on his way to car where he'll see president cc that will be about the situation in this region. egypt brown could that cease fall the main player brokering that sees while in gaza. but i expect other issues to come up as well. egypt tensions with ethiopia over the nile, the situation in libya. and i think the by the ministration likely to push quite hard on human rights in egypt, the u. s. secretary state then continuing the final part of his visit in a few hours after he's finished in colorado, going to amman, jordan, where he'll meet up to law. thank you. james bass, diplomatic editor,

following the us secretary state on his middle east tour were on 2 other news now on the 2nd side, claiming to hit india. and just over a week is made land full on the east coast. the sights of additional west bengal will bear the brunt will than $2000000.00 people have had to be to safety. it is psycho and yas then is expected to bring gusts over 285 kilometers now plus severe flooding last week. remember cycle and hit in his western coast, killing more than a 140 people. elizabeth around them in new delhi. how the preparations going for this given that it's a completely different part of the country. it's about to be hit. hello, come on. well, they have been a lot of preparations in place of the last few days and that is because dish and westbank goals are unfortunately no changes to cy clones. as you mentioned, there be more than 2000000 people who've been evacuated from low lying areas to shelters. 5 on mainland full on wednesday morning on our dishes,

deployed the capital city of coal cutter, and they should have suspended all flights for the day. many trains on the east coast have also been cancelled. the preparations are in place, but the flight plan certainly complicates efforts to fight the corona virus and both edition and west bengal west bengal. more so than or dish have been recording very high numbers of corona, virus cases. and 2000000 people have been moved to shelters, where there was no room for social distancing. thank you for that updates was withdrawn him need any we will grab a break when we come back. syrians, boasting in a presidential election, condemned by the opposition as a sham. we're going to speak to refugees about best hopes for the future. and airlines and steer clear of ruth. you works up new sanctions as well. let's over the rest of a journalist who's fight was ordered to land in minutes. ah

hello there. well, it's a conflicting picture once again for much of europe as we get into the mid week. we've got that cooler, wet weather, continuing across northern areas. but down in the south, things are heating up and much about what weather is concentrated over scandinavia . we've got a weather system bringing with persistent rain, some heavy strong winds there. and that's going to affect parts of sweden and norway as well as finan working its way into lithuania. we could see some, some the showers here. and the weather also dominates germany and france. but as we go into thursday that does ease and temperatures do pick up to where we expect them for may. we'll see some was coming in across london as well. so the 3 day look at this by the time we get to friday, temperatures are where we expect them to be and we will be feeling that warmth. but

for the south, the heat does continue. lots of sunshine coming through for turkey greases. well, though there will be a few showers in the north and italy, seeing plenty of fine weather for there are there in peninsula the heat, does continue, that we will have some heavy showers to the south. and it's a similar story for the north of africa. hot and dry, but as we go into thursday, we will see showers in the north of morocco. the frank assessments that the government in 11 exactly have. and what made of that taking situation might not be just again informed opinions is the us with thinking military positioning in the middle east. was it just a simple act of reorganizing military? this is a message to the reason that the united states is rethinking its military foster in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on our jazeera

oh the me. the top stories they saw on al jazeera protests of broken off and occupied east, jerusalem israeli called us reviewing another case of false evictions. 6 palestinian families facing a decision in phil one the secretary state antony blinking on his way to cairo. now, after meeting palestinian and israeli leaders on tuesday, he announced millions in new aid for palestinians and up the reopening of the u. s . consulate in occupied in jerusalem. and the 2nd cycle to hit india. and just over a week, as maitland full on the eastern coast,

the states of edition and west franco will bear the brunt and more than 2000000 people have been moved to safety. so palestinians dealing with more than just conflicts and israeli occupation, corona virus, which is spreading almost entirely unchecked. 250 new infections and 5 deaths a report on tuesday. but it's harry false reports from gods. there's no way to know the real figures. me that i must see is struggling for breath like much have goes is population he'd spend days at home in fear of his really bumming rates. the trouble was he'd been infected with cobit 19 and was getting worse day by day. now his condition doctor say, is very serious, had the money he's infected at home during the war, get corona virus symptoms, but he couldn't come to the hospital because he was scared of the shelling. we've had many cases like death that we've been dealing with in another ward in gaza, cities. she for hospital, we find margin sally,

a doctor turn patient recently out of intensive care. it wasn't covered 1900 that put in there. it was an israeli as strike. the security camera in garza's ministry of health building shows the moment he was blasted out of his office. the building wasn't hit directly. this was collateral damage from a strike across the street. but it was more than enough to shut down garz's only cove. at $900.00 test lab testing finally resumed at less than half the previous capacity on monday. as well as keeping people at home. the strikes also drove tens of thousands out into temporary refuge in school buildings. there was some rapid flu testing done in places like this. the positivity rates were as high as 50 percent low, that about the you know, distancing no masks, no protection, no hygiene. all of this created a bad situation. we know that corona spread rapidly that we have the british variant. aaron garza, 5 cases would have been enough to, in fact,

all 4000 people in one school other than the american look. and the health ministry is worried about the prospects of what it calls a disastrous 3rd way. the corona virus, which is why this is so necessary. 48600 doses of the pfizer vaccine delivered under the kovacs international alliance, straight to garz's only ultra cold freezer in the run tc hospital. in comparison to the vaccination campaign so far in garza, this represents a major delivery and a much needed one. but in comparison to the need across garza, especially right now, it remains the drop in the ocean. mrs. far from the mass vaccination campaign seen just a short drive and a world away in israel. so far less than 2 percent of garz's population has been fully vaccinated. while gaza has been focused on the immediate life and death concern of a brutal but short war. a longer term threat may well have been gathering pace. harry for it, i'll just 0 garza ciocca pix organizes are meeting to address increasing pressure

for the games to be cancelled. one of the official partners, the association, but newspaper is warning about the dangers of the current of ours and pointing to the widespread public opposition. last week, a union representing medics said it strongly oppose the event which had scheduled to start in less than 2 months. on the run, 2 percent of japan has actually been vaccinated. we'll talk about this with jeff kingston now in tokyo. he is the director of ation studies at temple university, japan just as anyone want these games to go ahead the government seems determined. so damn the torpedoes full speed ahead and the people are scratching their hands. why? only 14 percent of japanese favor host in the games that about 80 percent want them postpone her cancelled. we have a who's who of c o. speaking out against the games,

one of them call them a suicide mission and all public council experts believe that this is recklessly endangering the health of the japanese people. so yes, there are good reasons why people wonder why prime minister suga seems so determined to go ahead. tell me about until i view, as indeed about, aside from the newspaper, how much influences at home. oh, it's huge. it's like the new york times of japan or the guardian, you know, is highly respected generally on the liberal side of the spectrum. but the saw, he has a stake it all this and they just called out the authorities and said it doesn't make sense. you know, we're, you know, the vaccination campaign here, the roll out has been a dribble. only a, just over 2 percent of japanese have gotten fully vaccinated. this compares to like

40 percent in the u. s. 34 percent the u. k. so really depends a laggard on vaccinations and suddenly they're going to be bringing in 628-0000 visitors from all over the world for the olympics. you know, are good reasons. people believe this could potentially be a super spreader event. starting to wonder if there's some sort of misguided and that's my word misguided pride going on here. the fact that the games were cancelled last year that they would put forward to this year and it would just be some sort of great symbol for japan to show to the world that look, we can do this despite all of our position and concerns. yeah, i think you're right, i think perhaps there is some misguided pride there. i think that the also they want to hold the sort of global coming out party, but the ends of the damage. but a lot of people here are worried that the declaring dish accomplished a little bit too soon. i think more importantly is money. they spend about

28000000000 preparing for the olympics. nbc is pay 3000000000 to the iowa c 4 television rights. and so money is driving this decision and this seems inconsistent with the olympic spirit. and that has cause great concern among the japanese people who feel that they are being treated like guinea pig. so they are very skeptical about the government's assurances, but safety protocols will keep them safe and that they can conduct this massive games in a bubble. a decision driven by money who would have thought jeff kingston, i thank you for your time. we appreciate it. all right, thank you. now the voting has begun in syria and a presidential election, which is simply said to extend the shower law sounds grip on power. he faces few rivals and is expected to win a 4th term despite a decade of war, poverty,

and economy. and freefall opposition and western nations have dismissed the election as a sham, around half of serious population remains displaced. then what is that a syrian refugee camp in? because in neighboring lebanon, zayna, how do these elections will do they affect or impact all of these refugees who, who are outside of their own country? well, it will change little millions of refugees. this is not going to change their lives . this is not going to advance the un led political process. it is not the step closer to finding a political solution. we've been speaking to people here and what they've been saying is, we want to go home. of course we want to go home, but there are a number of reasons why we can't some of them fear retribution. there's a lack of a rule of law in syria and have many others who say, how are we supposed to survive when 90 percent of the people in syria in government

controlled areas are poor. there are no jobs. we have our homes have been destroyed in the war, and sharla said yes, like you mentioned, he is expected to win a 4th term in office. so his grip on power to continue for another 7 years. he has been campaigning on the promise that he is the man for the post war phase that he can rebuild syria. but the reality is the international community is refusing to engage with him. they want him to agree to political compromises, to meaning, fully engage in the un led political process. now what does that mean? it would mean him losing his grip on power. so instead of doing that, the message behind the selection is that it's one of the finance, and he's telling the international community i one you need to deal with me and you

need to engage with me. but on the eve of the elections, the united states and other western nations, even the united nation, made it very, very clear that they're rejecting this election. they're rejecting the outcome. they're saying it's not free, it's not fair. it's not credible. especially since not all. syrians are participating and there's still no safe environment and government control territories for an election to be held. because i know i wouldn't mind actually stepping away from the politics a little bit just because as your camera went through, then we saw the faces of those children. they are. i want to know about them, how long they've been there. do they, can they go to school today? what, what's their life? well, it's a very difficult life. as you can see, these children were born in lebanon. they've never been to their homeland. a lot of them don't even have shoes. we've been speaking to their parents, 11 of their kids needs, needs, hospitalization. the united nation knows houses happening as much as it can,

but the aide is not, there is, don't a fatigue. many of these children cannot go to school as well because of the corona virus pandemic. there's online learning. there are no computers, laptops, internet, i phones in this camp for these children to attend the online classes. so this is a last generation and their parents are telling us, at least here 11 on our life is difficult, but we can find informal labor. we can work in the fields, it's difficult and they get some cash assistance from the united nations. but life is very hard reporting from santa harder and the team and because in lebanon, syrian refugee camp, they thank you. now, memorial services have been hills across the us smoking one year since george floyd was murdered by one police officer. the 46 year old family and friends attended a candlelight vigil in the city of minneapolis, where he was killed, the unarmed black man, dest sparked mass, anti racism, protest,

and demand for racial equality. earlier on tuesday, the fluid family met president biden at the white house by and told him he was hopeful that a police reform bill named in name for george floyd would be ready by the end of the month. floyd's sister boy called the meeting though thing biden had broken his promise to find the legislation by today or the family member. they said they understood the reasons for the delay. so i think that the meeting will be so concerned, and i think generally you want to know is that how we were doing and what he could do to support us any day. let us know the support based on the bill, but he wants to make sure that if the right building not a rush view and just an update on a story from molly, where west african mediators are expected to meet the detained president and prime minister, who being held in a military camp the past 2 days, the interim vice president, colonel of see me go to who led last year qu, ousted the traditional leaders and ordered their arrests to insist the elections

will take place next year as planned. will have also the united nations security council holding an emergency meeting to discuss the crisis in mommy ah hop on the hour on al jazeera will take you through the headlines. us secretary said anthony, blinking now on his way to cairo, after meeting palestinian and israeli leaders on tuesday. he announced millions of dollars in new aid for palestinians and announced the reopening of the us consulate, unoccupied, east jerusalem as well. but this is today, protests in occupied east jerusalem isn't as ready court reviews. another case of forced evictions, 6 palestinian families are facing that decision in so one that is way in run comments.
