1:02 pm
palestinian families this time and so one an occupied east jerusalem process broke out as at his ready court was expected to review and appeal all those orders. the hearing's not been postponed. the reminder, there was a similar case in nearby shake. java that sparked the recent violent escalation. our team of correspondence has run across developments on this story. you'll know outside of standing by for us in gaza in a moment will speak to our diplomatic as a james base for the latest on the us secretary of state and his tour of the region . but 1st let's go to 0. how made his in shake java in occupied east jerusalem hollow? what's happening well, at the moment we're nothing is happening. but we did have the families from the silhouette neighborhood and some activists who just off to the court room because postponement, i would rather say had come here to show solidarity to those who faced
1:03 pm
exactly the same issue. one of the reasons those who they came here is to make everyone understand that the what's happening in the one is exactly the same of what's happening in iraq and is also happening elsewhere around the occupied was back not only in the, in the occupied east jerusalem but it did go peacefully today, earlier by the court. there was a little bit of tension. one person was detained, but we haven't seen the violence or the police oppression that we have seen in the past few days. i was a serious heart. i don't need that live in shakes, shot up and occupied easter ruthless. now from i'll just here is m ron com who's in . so one and tells us more about what's happening with this case that fill one over there. now a lot of the families being displaced in have been displace. i've been displaced, were very simple, reason jewish settlers, they stated aim and this isn't hyperbole,
1:04 pm
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 merely days this been going on since the ninety's they by 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're 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,
1:05 pm
between the police and is often the palestinians who get arrested, who get taken out of their homes. and this is very well documented by bit selim and piece now and other israeli activists organizations as a pattern that occurs in occupied east jerusalem. meanwhile, us secretary of state, enter the blanket as arrived in cairo as part of his campaign to both the support for the cease fire. he's meeting egypt, president of the federal cc. on tuesday, he met palestinian and israeli leaders. he announced billions of dollars in new age for palestinians, and the reopening of the u. s. consulate in occupied east jerusalem. diplomatic editor james space join just now live from west jerusalem. so chance, what's the secretary of state hoping to get out of his talks today in egypt? well, i think the main aim is the same name as when he was here in jerusalem. and also when he went to ramallah, and that is to try and make sure the cease fire sticks. he's trying to provide
1:06 pm
some relief for palestinians. he's talking about hope and dignity for palestinians . and there was a funding package for palestinians. but there's no plan to push forward with negotiations for 2 state solution. at this stage, the meeting has taken place with president cc in karo remember that the jeep sions were key in getting the ceasefire. but also remember that the biden administration has not had good relations in his 4 months in power with the cc government. in fact, the 1st call from president biden to president cc was less than a week ago just before the seas fall, came into place. and for the egyptian side, i think they'll be hoping to leverage that diplomatic work on the seas far to get a better relationship with the united states. we haven't yet no details of exactly what was discussed between the secretary of state the president in that meeting.
1:07 pm
but pretty certain that some things will be on the list, in addition to the 11 day conflict that you've seen in gaza. those include the nile and relations between egypt and ethiopia. and saddam, which are very, very difficult, but also be libya and egypt involvement with its neighbor libya. and of course a very difficult subject. the u. s. i think is bound to press and that is the very bad state of human rights in ccs, egypt. diplomatic as a james space, i live in west jerusalem. james, many thanks. and date in garza palestinians and are facing the mammoth task of rebuilding after $1000.00 homes were destroyed in the 11th a conflicts and hundreds more damaged beyond repair. and it's really miss. i landed directly in front of this building. it's severely damaged and it's even sunk a meter into the ground. residents and evacuated. the government has ordered the building to be demolished. let's go live now to gaza. you me the outside. is that
1:08 pm
for? she's right outside that to destroy building the we've just mentioned. tell us more about the situation that hi andrea and yes, i'm here at the neighborhood. this neighborhood was really badly and massively destroyed in the 11 days of war. 3 buildings after this building in between, after this building and between the middle of the street and at the beginning of the street has been completely destroyed. actually over the heads of the residents, like a family, had the, the family and the family. these are the 3 buildings and now this building here at the beginning of the street, it takes the corner of this street. it has been been actually evacuated because the mystery of work and housing has ordered to demolish it because of the danger that it might actually full any time. so they're actually working now in,
1:09 pm
in that process, in, in the, in the overall, the streets of the infrastructure in this neighborhood has been literally destroyed . whether from here the pipelines have become quickly destroyed as well. and i just, just a while ago, we got the news that another building 11 story building, residential building, just in the middle of the tree, has also been ordered to evacuate. because it has also been which the dozens of policy and families have just been instantly. this place is now. yes. you know how much international support will be renewed, that will be needed then to rebuild. garza dementia works and how announced that it needs $350000000.00. just to reconstruct there is dental buildings that have been destroyed, including $1.00 to do wallace. the bill is partially destroyed,
1:10 pm
buildings and like like this building, and that's building the buildings that have been partly destroyed or partly targeted. so as long as this funding is delayed, also the, the reconstruction process is quite to be delayed until now in many areas, almost all the areas in the gaza strip, the rubble hasn't even yet been renewed. which means that the entire tree has been closed in front of the movement of the cars and people because most of the streets are also destroyed. and as long as this trouble is kept in place, of course, because the ministry talks about the lack of capital abilities as equip, thanks for the moon, for the municipalities at the mysteries here in the gaza strip. this trouble shall stay until they can get, lending had an emergency funding to help them out. you know,
1:11 pm
outside reporting live from gaza. you know many thanks indeed. let's bring it out here as senior political analyst, my one bashar then you joins us via skype from rome. moment to what extent his answer be lincoln's shuttle diplomacy merely about optics here. is there anything substances that it can achieve? well, he is trying to manage a balancing act and that's not easy, especially that there is something bizarre about the american policy, including biden's policy. but we should definitely distinguish the by the administration from the trump administration. i would, i would, i would bet if we are living on the trump nowadays that trump would be edging israel attacker. so i guess, i guess i guess from them. so clearly under, by that we have a different policy different diplomacy, but it is nonetheless lopsided diploma. say that this attempt at managing
1:12 pm
a balancing act is really clearly totally, utterly in balance and balance and why and balance. because just look at the announcement just the last few days on the one on the binary ministration and says $700.00. and let's say $50000000.00 in military 8 is right. at the same time, it says $75000000.00 in humanitarian age to the palestinians. so $75000000.00 and humanitarian have about us again, $750000000.00 in military aid to these. there it is. and what's the dynamics here? well, you are supporting i back on the right and then you are giving the gaza strip and the palestinians, 700000075 in order to cope with the destruction caused by the $750000000.00 in military. that's
1:13 pm
a very bizarre management of the conflict as they call it and trying to bring in the gym. she's in the jordanians, of course, is an attempt at better managing in miss manage diplomacy, which should have probably entailed more leverage, more pressure. and is that the by then administration is apparently not willing to do, but does it have an aim, an ultimate aim, or is it merely about maintaining the status quo? this is the thing. i mean, it should have, for the past 30 years, the ultimate aim is to resolve the conflict and how years of conflict according to the, by the ministration. according to washington perspective, for the last 20 years is a 2 step solution uni. they think it needs to be negotiated and they think they should be in the sponsor. and sometimes they said they want to leave it to the parties, which of course is meaningless because israel does not under nathaniel,
1:14 pm
accept the situation. so they're trying to bring this step to solution story, but surely clearly the circumstances now are not perfect because as i said that they are not upward. and so they are managing the conflict instead of resolving the contract. they are managing the contract and how you manage it. you give is military and you give up, understand some here, make that. and they, which as i said, is utterly bizarre. and in fact, does fuel the cycle of violence, the so called cycle of violence, it does fuel the occupation israeli occupation. it does fuel the supplement or the stabilizing. so while the by then the stretch, it is trying to manage the conflict, i think in so many ways it's escalated. the us is the only party that all of the other concern parties will actually talk to. but is it the best party to be heading?
1:15 pm
the, this diplomatic mission, this is a very good question by the way, because, you know, an average american, the average joe, the plumber, as it works wonders. why is it, the middle easterners always look to america for health when there's been diplomacy and resolving conflicts? and so on, so forth. it is not coincidental. i mean, yes, america is the world's superpower. yes, america things are important leader for any national effort to take place. there's no doubt about that. but the importance of and the relevance of america, is it all in the middle east? there's not because it's a super fall. it's because it's israel just patron because it's the one that enables israel to maintain its military status, may to maintain its occupation, to make, to maintain if even belligerence and the middle east. and so for the rest of them, at least they need the united states in order to curb to restrain the hold back as there is no other way nowadays to hold back
1:16 pm
a nuclear power and military superpower, like israel, then through its pizza and it's picked and it's not so once again, the question is, will the united states use this leverage with its client is right in order to bring about a solution of them is conflict. when there is a will, there's a way, there is a way, but apparently there isn't the will on the part of the binding ministration, like previous american administrations, to put enough pressure is why? well, and actually because of the politics, as president obama said, this is the only question in forum policy that has a huge domestic complications. and that's called the, is there a little bit whether it's in congress court in washington or in the rest of america . and the by the administration is ready sensitive to that kind of israeli pressure . so it's lobby in washington and hence it tries to mismanage that tries to manage
1:17 pm
or mismanage but conflict instead of resolving it because that's what it is right? and that in turn, will entail domestic implications by stretching out of era senior political analyst, mom and bashar that live in room one. many thanks your with it. he is out from out here are still to come on the program syria supposed to the presidential election has been condemned by the opposition as a sham will speak to refugees about their hopes for the future. south africa's former leader is back in court where he's facing challenges of corruption and fraud . added support, a chance for majesty, and i just finished the season on a real high. the details coming up later. ah, serious president, special aside, has cost his pilots and a controversial presidential election that set to extend his grip on part. i sat
1:18 pm
and his wife boasted in damascus above a key rebels stronghold before it was retaken by government forces in 2018. voting is being held only in government controlled areas. a sad faces, few rivals, and is expected to win a 4th term despite a decade of war, poverty, as an economy in free fall, he's dismissed all criticism that the election is a sham. siri. and from the last revel held province of protesting against the election, it led was the target of a fierce battle. so control after government forces launched an offensive the late 2019 and now falls within a de escalation zone. under an agreement between turkey, russia out there is a hunter, as life for us, a syrian refugee camp in the back of valley and neighboring lebanon said, how are these elections affecting or impacting the millions of refugees? that of course, the election in which they have no safe the, well,
1:19 pm
it really means little. it's not going to change their life. it's not a step closer to finding a solution to the political conflict. millions of serious have been living in tent camps like this one. they say they would like to go home, but there are many reasons why they cannot. one of them is that they're afraid of retribution as long as he remains in power. and this election is going to keep him in power for, for another 7 years. so people here are losing hope. and it's such as that. people say that the economic situation in syria, even in government controlled areas, at least 90 percent of the people 90 percent, according to the united nations are poor and there's food insecurity. these people will not be able to find jobs. their homes have also been destroyed during the war . a reconstruction has not begun in earnest and but sharla promoted himself and campaigned on a promise that he is the man for the post war phase. but the reality is he's going
1:20 pm
to need money from the international community in order to rebuild the country. and the international community is refusing to engage with him unless he meaningfully engages in the you and lead political process and agrees to draft a new constitution and agrees to hold what they're calling free and fair elections under you and supervision. what is happening today? according to the united nation, nice nations united states and other western nations is that this is not a credible process. because syrians, not the syrians are taking part and there's no real challenges because the exiled opposition is not allowed to take part. i was, there was a hold of that my for us in a syrian refugee camp in the back of valley and lebanon. the former chief advisor to the u. k. as prime minister as told upon entry committee that the government failed the public and its corona virus. response dominant coming since that he and
1:21 pm
other officials acted too late. last week he accused boris johnson's government of incompetence and lying to the public about it heard immunity strategy. coming so sounded from down the street in november amid rumors of a rift with the prime minister. the truth is that senior ministers, senior officials, to advisors like me fell the fastest shores of the standard scott, the public has a right to expect of its government in a crisis like this. when the public needs this most, the government failed. and i'd like to say to families of those who are who died uncertainty, how story i am for them to made my own mistakes. on i from out here at john hall had joined us live from london. jetta. what else was cummings at the se? and what's the significance of his testimony? absolutely fascinating testimony, this, the significance of which i'm afraid we'll have to wait to see depending on what
1:22 pm
more comes, how long it leads the news, a gender. and therefore, in time, how damaging it may prove to be for the government, but absolutely excoriating so far in the testimony he's offered about the government's handling all the pandemic. this man dominant cummings, formerly bars johnson's chief advisor right at the pinnacle of power beside the prime minister. now presenting himself calmly measured, deeply, contrived, quite on characteristic for him, presenting in his health as a man. now seeking as it were to expose the truth of what was going on, coming up with this, this very personal, sort of collective responsibility mia culp, dropping everybody in it from senior officials, to ministers, to advisors like himself apologizing for the government's failures and really setting the tone for revelations to come. and so far we've seen discussion about the governments initial handling pandemic. it's alleged policy of heard immunity
1:23 pm
being pursued. talk about conversations around the cabinet table, advocating chicken pox style parties until it became apparent based on scientific advice. so that was all going to lead to awful disaster then moving to failures, to institute locked down measures quickly enough. he said in retrospect, it became clear the official plan was wrong. it's clear we should have locked down weeks earlier than we did. the u. k. was heading for disaster, it was all playing out. he said like an out of control action movie independence day. mentioned repeatedly while he said lots of key people were literally skating in mid february. and then there's this extraordinary grenay logged at the secretary of state for health health mat hancock. he said he should have been fired for 15 to 20 different things, including repeatedly lying on multiple occasions to everybody in, in the public. cummings told the prime minister he should have been fired. the
1:24 pm
cabinet secretary told the prime minister he should have been fired. and remember that's mat hancock who has really been at the helm of the health response to the entire crisis. 0 to hold life for us in london joining many thanks. deed, matthew. good. what is the professor of politics? the university of kent. he joins us now. live by skype from london. good to have you with us. how worried should prime minister johnson be about dominate cummings? testimony just how much damage could he do? well, i think he's already doing quite large amounts of damage in terms of the immediate westminster community. he's making and shaving. not only government ministers, but also civil servants who he accused of handling the crisis. right poorly. what's interesting is just a few minutes ago dominic coming could actually why doesn't that criticism to include really the high political system. why should the british people are being placed with a choice between bar johnson and germany? corbin. ready at the last election, and he's really arguing that there are often systemic failures within the british
1:25 pm
political system more generally. ultimately, if it go to effect prime minister johnson politically isn't going to matter to the electorate. well, the thing we have to keep in mind is 1st, johnson is currently polling at a 40 percent off and he just had a good set of local elections, winning a key bi election from the labor party. and most folks is already do think that his government did not handle the crisis particularly well. having said that, this is an inside source, this is somebody who is work alongside board. so people will be listening intently to so many covering factors site. and it is quite clear, i think that he is going to entrench a view among the british public, that the government should have done a lot better when managing this crisis might, his testament, he said the pern for the, the independent inquiry that will get on the way next year, and what will johnson's enemies in his own policy and, and in the opposition seek to gain from this?
1:26 pm
well, i think the inquiry is going to be absolutely critical. it's going to be a long inquiry, going to look at every aspect of the crisis. and i think want come down with prominent companies. testimony and inquiry is going to give 2 different groups of people. ammunition, again, as far as johnson one in total, the conservative party ministers to be black, white bars johnson, i think he's not particularly competent and they have never really old style of leadership. and then next on the lee, we go what you might call the progressive alliance in british politics. the s m p, the labor party, the live damage. really looking for any opening, any opening a tool to be able to get back into the game of british politics. and this is a big potential evening pulled a really good start to professor many thanks. dave matthew goodwin that from the university of kent. tropical cyclone yas, has made land for india's east coast,

later on when it's probable psycho ja says made land fall on india's east coast. more than 2000000 people have been moved to safety. heavy rain has caused severe flooding across several regions. palestinians are dealing with more than conflict and israeli occupation. the corona virus is spreading almost on, checked 250 new infections, and 5 deaths were reported on tuesday. but as harry forced reports now from cancer, there's no way to know the real figures made out. 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, had the money 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 in another ward and gaza
1:34 pm
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. at 19 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 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,
1:35 pm
that we have the british variant. aaron garza and 5 cases would have been enough to infect all 4000 people in one school other than the american. look at 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. $48600.00 doses of the 5 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
1:36 pm
a brutal but short war. a longer term threat may well have been gathering pace. harry for it, i'll just 0 garza south africa's former president, jacob zuba has pleaded not guilty to corruption charges in an arm steal case. soon the face is a team. charges of corruption, racketeering fraud, and money laundering in a $2000000000.00 deal in 1999. zoom. served as the deputy president then. so it was rejected. the charges saying that he's a victim of a witch hunt by a rival faction of the ruling african national congress from lisco live. now, to johanna book al jazeera from me to mila. is that for us? what's been happening in court for me to well, most importantly for south africans is that plea of not guilty by the former president. he has many occasions publicly said that he's, he's not guilty of any wrong doing. and as you say a, which of these are politically motivated charges, especially off to he stepped down as the president about 3 or 4 years ago
1:37 pm
and, and following that, the reinstatement of these charges that go back at least 2 decades. so in court, for the 1st time is formally said, he's not guilty of these charges. and many, in many of those instances, he said he was up the right not to disclose the basis of his defense at this point . now, once that was done, the main crux of proceedings today is the the fences argument to remove the lead prosecutor, billy donna, in this case and jacobs who my is arguing that the lead prosecutor is not impartial . he's not independent and this would jeopardize the prospects or of a fair trial for the former president. so we like to see those arguments continue now and also later in july, when court resumes, once again. so again, a very lengthy process. one that is likely to take months, if not years,
1:38 pm
until africans are expecting some answers on these accusations that goes back decade. as you say, south africa went on says, why is this taking so long? it goes back over a number of years. the charges were at one point dropped by the national prostituting authority and in the instance of the charges being laid and withdrawn . many argue that has been political interference specific to jacob zoom. and that is why he says he may not receive a fair trial and just to give you some insight linked to that, to lead prosecutor jacobs. do my arguing that when these charges were reinstated by the prostituting authority that bleed down the lead prosecutor had submitted an affidavit in support of the opposition political party, the democratic alliance, who wanted the charges, reinstated. so on that basis he says that, believe, doubt, it is not impartial. so this is a case that is very complicated,
1:39 pm
that is multi layered and one that really speaks to the difficulty south africa having in tracing corruption, especially relate to 2 high ranking officials, jacobs, duma, as former president at the time of these negations between 29952005. he was a high ranking member. 2 of the political leadership in the province of course natal, he was involved with the president of south africa later president. and so he is one of the highest if not the highest ranking member of the a n c facing charges like this. and it's one that is impacted by the difficulties the a n c is facing in dealing with this fight against corruption. jacobs numa does have a supporters, but they are also many in south africa. say it's a long time coming for corruption to be dealt with decisively. houses here is probably the middle of that live and you had spoke probably the minute thanks. west african mediators are expected to meet molly is detained. president of prime
