may go back there and live with exclusive into the we are fighting against the mother for home. i'll just be around. her teens on the reward will be documented and live news ah, protests outside court in occupied east jerusalem. the palestinian families fight forth expulsions from their homes. ah, i'm come all sons and maria here in doha with the world news from al jazeera, the united states efforts to shore up the seats firing guns continue. as secretary state entity blinking leads to cairo also needs more than

2000000 people, forced to take shelter of the powerful psycho and it's the east of india. and an official partner to the tokyo olympics calls to the games to be cancelled because of the corona virus wrist. ah, so diplomatic efforts continue this wednesday as late as work to cement the cease fire between israel and hamas. but there is a change in attention today this another potential flash point 7 israeli district court reviews, another case of forced evictions. this time it is 6 palestinian families in so one in occupied east jerusalem. you will remember the similar case in the neighborhood of chick gerra, which spunk the recent escalation, that is not far as well from this particular neighborhood based projects going on

outside the court. already police in attendance, as the crowds are there. meanwhile, us to say antony, bringing on his way to cairo, leaving just a short time ago that he of course, met palestinian and israeli leaders on tuesday. he also announced millions of dollars a new aid for palestinians, and the reopening of the u. s. consulate, excuse me, in occupied east jerusalem. so we will be speaking to james by diplomatic editor of the latest on entity begins to come to you in a moment. james, want to stop there, hold up till made an occupied east jerusalem. i think you're actually sort of a little further down the road from the live pictures which we were looking at. tell us what's been happening this morning. what is actually just here behind the buses is about 5 meters away. now. it has been more or less peaceful so far. what happened is that early in the morning, you had a group of activists and some members of the extended family of those who are

appealing their forcible eviction today, who have data in front of the main entrance of the by the here. now you can see there was a group of 50 been right seen yet any use of i would say tear gas grenades even though one person was now these people are here. i think this for civic explosive holder. i'm sorry. i'm going to have to interrupt you to the connection we've got with you is really good and we're really poor. i'm sorry, we're not actually hearing what you're saying. it's cutting in and out. we'll see if we can come back to you. we have got these last pictures are these, these are live pictures as well as the hood have said, actually only about 5 or 10 minutes away from where she is. the protests going on, the signs in the background saying, save so long as the 6 families wait to find out from the court about whether they

will be forced to leave the neighborhood or not. so the neighborhood in question. so one and him and con is there for us. he's got more about what's happening if that fill one over there. now, a lot of the families being displaced in have been displace. i've been displaced for a very simple reason. jewish settlers this stated aim and this isn't a hyperbole, is to get rid of every single palestinian family and occupied easterly slept and make the entire neighborhood jewish. that's slated aim. now they doing that through legal means. they sometimes particular me, early days this been going on since the ninety's, they buy properties from palestinians. now that's completely legal and nobody's disputing that that 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 turn into quite serious incidents between the settlers, between the police and it's often the palestinians who get arrested who get taken out of their homes. and this is very well documented by bit selim and peace now and other israeli activists organizations as a pattern that occurs in occupied east jerusalem. ok, as we mentioned, the us secretary states on his way to egypt. now, after spending the last 24 hours meeting, both his rally and palestinian leaders more on what's coming with james, but in a moment 1st his report on antony blink and diplomatic effort so far arriving in

tell of the us secretary of state on a trip with a narrow aim, keeping things calm after the c. 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 that 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 at the manner under kuhn. 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 of in. 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 closed by president trump. there was a commitment to help and the rebuilding of garza, after the 11th day war and the new package of funding for the un and the palestinian authority. james bass reporting their james by reporting live from west jerusalem now. so egypt and jordan next on the agenda, 2 of the i guess, traditional peacemakers and brokers in the region to of israel's

neighbors. 2 countries which have long standing to our countries, but long standing peace deals with israel and egypt, i think, hoping very much that after the work they did on that cease far, they were one of the main players getting the seas fall in place. in garza, they can improve their standing with the by did ministration. remember, the president biden has been office for 4 months, did not call president cc until last week and the final stages of negotiating the seas for he had shunned him before that. so they want to get, i think out of the u. s. is bad books. they're trying to do so and use the leverage over the seas far. i think the meeting is taking place but half an hour from now. that is still going to be some tough questions. on the other issues, i'm sure they'll be talking about the dam on denial and the tensions with ethiopia . and saddam, they'll be talking about libya as well too. and i'm sure the issue of egyptian

human rights will come up on the agenda as you say. then on to jordan for a meeting with king abdullah and the secretary of state. meanwhile, here following in the secretary state footsteps, is dominic rob the u. k. foreign secretary, he is meeting right now with prime minister netanyahu. we expect to hear their comments soon, and then we'll be going to remodel in the afternoon to meet my mood of ass, the president of the policy you know, authority will be interesting is to compare the remarks of secretary blinking and foreign secretary and rob. because secretary blinking had a very narrow focus is just about keeping the com and keeping the seas fall going, improving the lives of palestinians, but certainly not trying to get any peace negotiations going to work toward some final deal or to state. and compare that with you. k stated position. this is just

from thursday, recent events highlight the urgent need to make progress towards a 2 state solution. there is a difference that it's not just with the u. k. it's with the countries as well. it with the u. n as well. they believe it's time to get proper negotiations going. the u. s. believes no, we're just going to put a lead on this for now. negotiation is going to go. no diplomatic editor james base on the road and west jerusalem this wednesday. thank you james. let's move on to some of the news and the 2nd side claim to hit india in just over a week, which has now made land full on the east coast. the states of edition and west bengal will bear the brunt will than 2000000 people have already been moved to safety. psychoanalysis expected to bring gusts of up to a 185 kilometers an hour and severe flooding as well. you will remember last week as like when hit in these other coast the west and killed more than 41. i'm sorry, 140 people. there's a per on him as

a new deleon's in the cycle and is also complicating the coven 19 efforts? 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 strangers to cyclops and there be more than $2000000.00 people who've been evacuated from low lying areas to shelters 5 on mainland full on wednesday morning on dishes closed and so father being wind speeds of 142155 kilometers reported. the army has had to launch a rescue operation already for about 32 people who have been stranded after a search in water levels in the east midland poor district of west bengal now even before yards mainland. on wednesday morning. both states edition and west bengal will have been lashed with very strong winds heavy rain since tuesday, along the east coast. the army has 175 loan relief teams that they've deployed the

capital city of cold cutter and reuben, they should have suspended all flights for the day. many trains on the east coast have also been canceled. the preparations are in place, but the flight plan certainly complicates efforts to fight the corona virus. both dish and west bend goal west and goal more so then addition have been recording very high numbers of corona virus cases. and 2000000 people have been moved to shelters, where there is no room for social distancing. in the news ahead, syrians votes in a presidential election condemned by the opposition of the sham. we'll hear from refugees about a hope for the future. and airlines in the clear of bell roof and the european union is working out new sanctions over the arrest of a journalist whose flight was ordered to land and mince. ah,

ah, it's time for the journey with sponsored by cattle airways. hello there. they haven't been much spring warmed for europe this month, particularly across the northern areas that is going to change as we go into the weekend. but for now we've got that cooler wet weather across the north. but the warmth is coming through in the south. and much of that weather dominating scandinavia we're really wet and windy weather across sweden, affecting parts of finland and lexia and lithuania sonia as well. we have had some flood alerts around the bay, the gulf over riga in latvia where those rains on particularly heavy. and it's wayne, yes, nice. and found the storms as well. and that rain edges down across the balcony. we'll see some thunderstorms across romania. we were expecting pretty wet conditions here, and it's a similar story for germany and france wet weather dominating here. but as we go into thursday,

the temperatures do pick up and we will feel that warm things are drying up. so similar story for the u. k, that's the head of the cold weather that's on the way the sunshine coming through and some warmth, london at 20 degrees for the south. it is a pretty clear picture, lots of sunshine for greece and for italy, and for spain we have the heat building, but a few showers across the southern coast. sponsor cut on airways, killing the debate. you don't receive the picture and amplify your voice. they're only given a certain narrative, the media will miss the true story, know topic it off the table. why in the world, what do we humanize an individual domestic care? this was an illegal occupation of a country. what they're doing is they're removing knowledge vision at the, the stream where a global audience becomes a global community on al jazeera. ah,

ah, the me, you without the ran and things out. the stories processed the broken out and occupied east jerusalem again after will as and israeli court is reviewing another case of forced evictions. 6 out of indian families are facing the decision on their future in the day. but if you're a secretary, said antony, blinking, meanwhile, is on his way to cairo after meeting palestinian and israeli leaders on tuesday, he announced millions of dollars in new aid for palestinians as well as the reopening of the u. s. consulate in occupied east jerusalem on the 2nd, signed clearing to hit india and just over a week, as maitland full on the east coast,

the states of additional and west bank all will bear the brunt. with the 2000000 people haven't moved to the state. so palestinians har, dealing with a lot more than just conflict and israeli occupation. corona virus spreading almost entirely unchecked. officially, 250 new infections and 5 deaths are reported on tuesday, but it's harry false reports from gaza. there's no real way to know the actual figures. me dot, i'm a see is struggling for breath. like much of goes is population. he'd spend days at home in fear of his really bumming rates. the trouble was he'd been infected with coven 19, and was getting worse day by day. now, his condition doctor say, is very serious. hadn't married? he was 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 or in another ward and gaza cities. she for hospital, we find magic sallie, a doctor turned 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 in 1900 test lab, testing finely 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 and 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 spreads rapidly, that we have the british variant. aaron garza 5 cases would have been enough to infect all 4000 people in one school other than the local. one of 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 fires of 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. this is 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 so any 2 percent of garza vaccinated and believe it or not,

that's the same for japan as well, which like yours and then pick organizes the meeting to address the increasing press for the living to be cancelled. one of the official partners, the association with newspaper is warning about the dangers of corona virus, pointing to widespread public opposition. last week, a union representing medic said it strongly opposed the event scheduled to start in less than 2 months. well, we spoke to jeff kingston, who is the director of asian studies at temple university in japan. he says, despite these growing calls, the cancellation of government seems determined to go ahead and tour peter's full speed ahead and the people. busy are scratching their hands why? only 14 percent japanese favor host in the games that about 80 percent want them postpone or cancel? we have a who's who of c o. speaking out against the games. one of them all 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. the vaccination campaign here the roll out has been a dribble. only a just over 2 percent of japanese have gotten fully vaccinated. 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. 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 end of the panoramic. but a lot of people here are worried that the declaring mission 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 i'll see for

television rights. and so money is driving this decision, and this seems inconsistent with the olympic spirit. voting is under way across syria and a presidential election, which is simply set to extend bizarre la subs, grip on power. he faces few rivals and is expected to win his 4th term despite a decade of war, poverty of an economy in free fall. the opposition and western nations have dismissed the election as a sham. around half of serious population remains displaced and just have a look. these pictures which we just got in from it live, which of course we know was a rebel held strong hold approaches going on there. the flags there waving our or is the alternate syrian flag, the flag of the syrian opposition. so the opposition movement with some good life in it, in italy today on election day. but of course, as we say, the reality is that the sharla side will be winning this boats. they know how to,

who has reported so much on this conflict for the last decade, zayna and today in a, a syrian refugee camp in the con, neighboring lebanon. i can't imagine the people there got any hope about these elections. no, this is not going to change their lives. it means little to the millions of syria and to have been living in desperate condition for the past 10 years. these elections are not recognized by the international community. they're saying that these are not free. fair, incredible, you talk to people here, they say, of course we want to return home, but there are obstacles. first of all, many of us fear retribution if sharla had remains in power. some of these people took part in opposition activities throughout, throughout the years. and then there are many others who say the economists situation in syria so bad that at least 90 percent of the population, even those living in government control territories are poor and that's the united

nation statistic. so they say the economy has crumbled. there is no money to rebuild our homes. how can we go back here? we get some assistance from the united nations and a times find jobs, informal, informal jobs. but the message that the regime is telling the world is that we won . we defeated, we crossed the opposition, we are here to stay and it is quite symbolic that the decided to cast his ballot in duma. that's a suburb of damascus when the last presidential election in 2014, that's suburb was in the hands of the opposition. so he's telling the world you have to engage with me. but the message from the international community is we will not engage with you unless you meaningfully engage in the you. i lead political process. zayna the children there behind you. i see them well. mean just trying to keep out of the sun really hot temperatures. i'm sure looking at the bad, what i assume the age that they wouldn't know anything of syria would they?

they probably born in lebanon. yes, the majority are born in love and on the majority, you can see some of them don't even have shoes. people are poor, they're struggling at these children don't go to schools. corona virus is forcing online education. there are no computers or internet or phone for, for these people to, to be able to have online, to have an online education. this is the last generation. it's not just the education, it's health care, parents come to us and say, please help us. we need to be able to see a doctor. many of them don't know where to go to united nations. undoubtedly the you and hcr is helping as much as they can, but there is a donor of fatigue. so this crisis is, it's far from over at the united nations is not even involved in this election process. they say the us government should have agreed to a new constitution before an election is held in any election to be supervised by

the international community and all theory and should be given a chance to participate. so this is not any step closer on finding a solution to the crisis in syria. zanna called reporting from a refugee camp and become lebanon. thank is, i know memorial services have been held across the united states, marking a years since george floyd was murdered by a white police officer. the 46 year old family and friends attended a candlelight vigil in the me in the city of minneapolis where he was killed. the on, on black men's death spot mass, anti racism, protest and demands for racial equality. earlier, george floyd's family met president biden at the white house, biden told him he was hopeful that a policing reform bill named 5th george floyd, would be ready. by the end of the month, floyd says to did boy caught the meetings. she says biden's broken his promise to sign the legislation by this one year anniversary, but other family members said they understood the reasons for the delay. i think

that the meeting will be so concerned at all. i think generally he wants to know exactly how we were doing and what he could do to support us any day. let us know, days of course, passing the bill. but he wants to make sure that if the right build on that arrest of you know, airlines changing course to avoid bella races. international outrage mounts over a jet being forced land in minsk and then the arrest of a dissident journalist who was on board a fighter plane escorted the jetliner as to what turned out to be a false bomb threat. john hall has more. the video shows, journalist and vulgar roman protest, savage saying that he's cooperating with the bellows authorities and he's being treated according to the law. but look closer, according to those who knows him well, there are signs, he's been beaten, his nose looks different, possibly broken. there appears to be bruising and may come powder on concert. his face. lots and lots of many world leaders have condemned. what happened on sunday,

after a run, a plane from athens to vilnius, was intercepted by a bell russian make fighter jet, and force to land in minsk brought a savage and his russian girlfriend, sophia, a pagan, were taken into custody. pretty prime minister boris johnson is the latest joining us president joe biden. and the leaders of the european union, johnson said the video of protest savage was deeply distressing. and warned the barrows we'll face consequences. and those consequences are beginning to crystallize. targeted economic sanctions promised by the e u. the bella russian national airline bella via ban from e u airport, a host of international airlines avoiding bella and ask space, depriving the regime of valuable revenue for overflow rights. nato has stepped into the fray. secretary general jen stilton burg described sunday's incident as state

hijacking. the united nations office for human rights likened it to extraordinary rendition such abuse of state power against a journalist for exercising functions that are protected under international law is receiving and deserves. the strongest condemnation came to galvanize global outrage and speaking from exile in lithuania, opposition figures. fet. lana, take an op sky called for concerted international action function in the us and really it will be for june. she's asked that her group be allowed to meet g 7 leaders at their summit in the u. k. next month. french president emmanuel macaroni says he supports that idea, as mainly western opprobrium continues to build aimed at the 27 year long rule of
