police is trying very hard friends, the scenario that happened last week when thousands were rioting and sitting across the ladder after some protest to start the rolling stones. and that's why you were police on horseback moved in to clear the area ah, protest outside in israeli court, and the palestinian families fight the efforts to forcibly a victim from their home. ah, hello. we didn't and can all santa maria here, and this is the world news from al jazeera, the us secretary state had the cairo, the latest self in his middle east tour to strengthen the god, the thiefs fire. it's completely krokus that someone like me should have been an

edge, seems as quick as the burst. johnson was in that choice to the last election was golden. i'm a tough advisor to the u. k. prime minister testifying over, among other things, the government's handling of the cove at 900 crisis and severe rain and flooding. still a threat of cycling, rips across eastern india. ah . so diplomatic efforts continue this wednesday as late as work to cement, to cease fire between israel and hamas. but in the region, this has been the flash point where people's attention has been focus the prospect of the forced eviction of 6 for palestinian families. this time it is, and so one in occupied east jerusalem protests broke out as an israeli court was expected to review and appeal of those orders. that hearing has however been

postponed. remember there was a similar case in checked her off, just 5 minutes away. actually the sparks the recent violent escalation. so let's start with bill. how may she is in check it all in occupied easter isn't we did have the families from the silhouette neighborhood and some activists who just opted to quote rude. because postponement, i would rather say had come here to show solidarity to those who faced exactly the same issue. one of the reasons also 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 it's 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. meanwhile, your secretary state antony blinking arrived in cairo. so you continue to try to bolster the ceasefire. meeting the egyptian president up the c. c, this is after tuesday when you met the palestinian and israeli leaders and announced millions of dollars a new weight for the palestinians, as well as the reopening of the u. s. consulate in occupied east jerusalem. mort with james bay's phonetic editor in west jerusalem. today, i don't know if anything's actually come out of these talks yet, but i guess what would the secretary state be hoping to get out of talks in egypt? well, i think he, as you say, the main effort of this whole trip is to keep the calm keep the seas fall in place . pretty narrow focus, not a very ambitious plan for the by ministration. they're not going to reopen active negotiations between israelis and palestinians pushing towards the 2 state

solution. i just don't feel the time is right for that. so more limited measures, as you say, providing more funding for palestinians. they're going to help with rebuilding of gaza to try make life policy is better hoping that that means that violence will not erupt again in the near future. and clearly egypt is important. egypt was the main class in instigating that sees fall last week. egypt has had a difficult relationship with the biden administration, which has been empowered now for months. in fact, it was own be less than a week ago. the president biden placed his 1st call to president cc didn't call him like many of the other leaders. when he was 1st took off his off the no gratian, he shunned him quite a long time. the gypsies, i think, will be hoping to leverage the fact. but now they have managed to get this cease far to improve relations with the us, but there are going to be some tough conversations. and not only on this issue,

there are other areas i'm sure secretary ben can want to bring up. we haven't yet had a read out of the meeting, which we believe has has finished for now. but we understand that it's likely that he's going to want to bring up things like the nile and the nile dime and relations with the c a p. and saddam bring up issues like libya and then probably for president cc, the toughest one of all likely the secretary of state is going to raise egypt. human rights record, which all human rights organizations say the pulling. thank you. james bayes are diplomatic headset in western. once, while the new theory, as president bashar la side has cast his balance in the controversial presidential election, which is set to extend his grip on power, assad and his wife some a voted in a damascus suburb, a key rebel stronghold before it was retaken by the government in 2018 voting is being held only in government control areas, a sub faces, the rivals, he is expected to easily win that 4th term despite the decade of war,

poverty and an economy in free fall. and he's dismissed all the criticism that the selection is just a sham. but on the other stage, we do not care at all about such statements, but more important than what the government said or does not say is what the people say. i think that's what we have seen during the past weeks. it's clear answer to all of those people and it tells them that the value of your opinions is 0. syrians in the last rebel held province have been protesting the elections, surveyed lip, which was the target of a fierce battle for control off to government forces launched and offensive in late 20. 19. these days it falls within a de escalation zone. under an agreement between turkey and russia, we can hear from her now a correspondent who is in neighbouring lebanon with thousands of syrians live as refugees in becca. president sharla says 21 year rule is about to be

extended for another 7 years. he's run for a 4th term in an election where the outcome is not in out. the long time leader stood against 2 largely unknown figures who aren't considered serious rivals and whose candidacy required the regime's approval. the exiled opposition was allowed to take part in our evident constitution and legal as security obstacles that not only deny the syrians inside syria, by dispensing in these elections and my adults. i mean the displace periods in oregon serial or even the series who are in the area is controlled by the regime. because even the fuselage in areas control by the regime have the freedom neither to vote nor to run for office. and many of the millions of people who live outside government controls mainly in the north are refusing to give us a legitimacy. they call him a criminal for killing and the resting tens of thousands of syrians during the 10 year war. the elections won't help bring about a lasting solution,

millions of syrians refugees, and they are losing hope of returning home. some are afraid of retribution as long as i said remains in power. others say they won't return because the living conditions are so bad in syria. i certainly believe he won the war, but there is discontent because of a collapsing economy. the serial leader hasn't been able to start reconstruction. he needs money, but the international community is refusing to engage with him. russia will attempt to convey this is game over to normalized series relations with its neighbors and international community. and to say that this actually hit to your insecurity council resolution 2250 for the opposition. the united states and many other western nations disagree. they said the elections aren't free and fair and there is no safe environment to allow all syrians to participate. resolution $2254.00 mandates that the you and facilitate the political process that

would come in in the holding a free and fair elections in accordance with the new constitution administered under un supervision. i said her so far, refused to meaningfully take part in that process. agreeing to political transition means losing his grip on power. he wasn't ready to do that. when his regime was close to collapse. years ago, his message has been and remains that the world must accept that reality. that the jersey though, because eastern lebanon, of a former chief adviser to the british prime minister as told a parliamentary committee that the government failed the public in its corona virus response. dominant cummings, as he and other officials, acted too late. last week. he accused bars, johnson government of incompetence and lying to the public about its herd immunity strategy. cummings was offered from don street in november and the room. it's a rift with the prime minister. she says the senior minister, senior officials,

to advisors like me fell disasters short of the standing spot. 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, sorry i am for them to make my own mistakes without joan a house in london. that snippet we played there was actually from a couple of hours ago by now. and the hits just kept coming, didn't they? absolutely excoriating testimony from dominant cummings over the last couple of hours. and there's much more to come. incidently, this man who held the extraordinarily powerful position in downing street as prime minister bars. johnson's chief advisor up until an acrimonious split last november . he doesn't like the turn whistle blower, but contrite. certainly, he prefers to present himself as a man. now seeking to reveal the truth about the government's handling of the

pandemic and setting the scene early on. with that, quote, you had this sort of collective responsibility, a cult dropping everybody in it from the top down, apologizing for the government's failure and setting the scene for revelations to come. they went through the alleged initial government strategy of heard immunity. they was talk of conversations around the cabinet table about chicken pox style parties that was before scientists dropped the ball on the this would lead to absolute disaster. they moved on to the idea of locked down and talking about the failures of locking down early enough. in retrospect, he said it became clear, the official plan was wrong. it's clear we should have locked down weeks earlier than we did. he talks of chaos in government unfolding like an out of control. movie independence day. he's mentioned a lot. he talks about no data system to tabulate numbers being schooled on

a white board in post johnson's office and calculated on an i phone fingers pointed in every direction most starkly, perhaps in the last couple of hours at the health secretary, mat hancock, he says he should have been fired for 15 to 20 different things, including lying on multiple occasions to just about everyone, including the public about things like pp availability, the preparedness of the health service. and so, and he describes the department of health as a smoking ruin. and so it goes on so fair to say, he's all forest johnson's christmas card list. i think thank you. turn the whole in london, the pictures we've had on the screen there was talking to joiner as far as johnson, the prime minister, obviously that you've been seeing here some of the leader of the opposition. this is prime minister questions. i shall we say lively debates going on in the commons right now after that extraordinary testimony from dominant cummins in the

corona virus cases continue to search in india, 5 new tunnels. at one of the former demonstrations in new delhi. i'm here in the outskirts of new delhi, at one of the 3 sides. the foremost had been camping out for 6 months to protest. freeform laws passed by the mo, the government last september now joined the peak of the movement. hundreds of thousands of protesters had gathered across the 3 sides 1000 at this time alone. but today, around a 100 farmers and of more are expected during the course of the day, the lighting black flags and the observing today is the last 2 months, 6 months since the agitation began last november. now because of the corona virus, time damage and the cobra, 1900 protocols in place, union leaders have asked people to show this on the data, the busting who and instead. well, i think black flag, dan made between the movie government and the farmers have gone on for a month despite 11 rounds of talk. not only this year,

the supreme court did the implementation of these laws and the multi government also offered to put them on hold for a year and a half. but sama said that these 3 laws put the likelihood that state of pro corporate and want them repealed. the former south african president, jacob zoom has pleaded not guilty to corruption charges in an alms deal case. zoom faces, 18 charges of corruption, racketeering fraud. money laundering stemming from a $2000000000.00 deal in 1909. this was when zoom is served as the deputy president zoom has rejected. the challenge of saying he is a victim of a witch hunt by a rival faction within the ruling african national congress. the court has been adjourned once again and reconvene july 19th, fami tamila in johannesburg, texas. 3 more of what happened in court. well, it was quite a moment for the old africans when the former president pleaded not guilty. this is

the 1st official plea despite a number. 2 of public uttered utterances, saying that he has not done anything wrong. and as you say, this is a witch hunt and it's politically motivated. not once the former president made that plea, much of the days proceedings only about 2 and a half was centered around the removal of the lead prosecutor. in this case, i believe donna jacobs is saying that that prostitute is compromised. he's not independent. he wouldn't be impartial. and then this would affect the prospects of a fair trial for the former president. this is what he has argued throughout. now some critics would say that this is the latest attempt to derail proceedings, to avoid fall on prosecution and trial because he's made that plea, but yet to hear from witnesses where he had to get into the full extent of the

corruption allegations against the former president and so, of course, again, so africans would be waiting months if not years to hear exactly what has happened . the president, if potentially hoping that donna is with hughes, he could potentially have an acquittal, their expert to say that this is a week, and that's likely not to happen, but we will know more in july when court resumes. ok, thank you for me to mila in johanna spoke with that update the messaging platform whatsapp is filed a legal complaint against the indian government of a new privacy laws, according to reuters, the regulation requires media companies to identify the center of a message if asked while forces lawyers for watson bog you, that breaches privacy rights which are enshrined in the indian constitution. they all say to compromise the identity of the receivers of the messages, as well as those who send them a better russian president,

very full reports from gaza. there is no way to know the real 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 cobit 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 in another ward in garza cities. she hospital, we find measured, sally, a doctor turn patient recently out of intensive care. it wasn't covered 19 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 air strikes also drove tens of thousands out and into temporary refuge in school buildings. there was some rapid flow testing done in places like this. the positivity rates were as high as 50 percent low, that about the units of no distancing, no masks, no protection, no hygiene. all of this created a bad situation. we know the 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 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 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 a 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 that, i'll just 0. gaza. taiwan has accused china of blocking a deal to purchase the finds a buy and take bank things. paging denies interfering, says it is offered to provide taiwan with the biotech shots produced in china. taiwan that says that lonely by from the original manufacturers gardens total infection rate remains low, but it has had

a recent spike in cases. and at the stage only around one percent of the population has been vaccinations. the took care of and picks organizes so they are not discussing a possible cancellation despite increasing pressure to do so. one of the official partners, the association, been newspapers as the games should not go ahead in life of the ongoing current of iris crisis last week. it was a union representing metrics, which said it strongly opposed the event. just scheduled to start in less than 2 months. here's some thoughts from jeff kingston, director of asian studies at temple university in japan. he says, despite all these growing calls, the cancellation, the government seemed determined to go ahead but the gains dan, the torpedoes full speed ahead and the people. busy are scratching their heads. why? only 14 percent of japanese favor host in the games that about 80 percent. want them postpone or canceled? 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. the vaccination campaign here, the roll. busy 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 . 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 for the ends of the pandemic . 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 iowa c 4 television rights. and so money is driving this decision, and this seems inconsistent with the olympic spirit. memorial services have been held across the us to market years since george floyd was murdered by a white police officer. the 46 year old family and friends attended a candlelight vigil in the city of minneapolis where he was killed on black man's death, sponsor mass, anti racism, protect, and demands for racial quality. earlier, george floyd found the mit president joe biden to the white house. but and told them he was hopeful of policing reform bill named influence on a would be ready by the end of the month, floyd sister had boycotted the meeting thing bite and broken his promise to find the legislation by this 1st 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 you want to know is that how we were on, on 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 view finally, some pictures from sydney, australia, of a rare astronomical phenomenon happening right now. it's called the super flower blood. and it's the super moon as well, just plain old. so the moon, the closest, it will come to earth all year. and apparently it's the years only total lunar eclipse. everything, all happening at a half past the hour. and these are the top stories and is really caught as agenda decision on 4th.
