the sort of war hotels on al jazeera ah, a diverse range of stories from across the globe. from the perspective of our networks, journalists on al jazeera, the. ready news here a secretary of state anthony blanket arrives in georgia and his latest stop on a middle east tor to strengthen the garza cease fire. ah, hello, i'm a very good. this is al jazeera life and also coming up protests outside of israeli course. has palestinian families fight efforts to forcibly a victim from their homes. of dutch court orders, petrochemical, company shell. it's almost half

a c o. 2 emissions by the 2030. it's completely crockett's that someone like me should have been in edge seems as quite as the boss johnson was in the choice of the last election, was gilbert former top adviser to the u. k. as prime minister testifies, or the government handling of the coven 19 crisis? ah, the us secretary of state us met with egypt, president in cairo to bolster support for the fall between israel and hamas. speaking afterwards found to be blanket called egypt, a real and effective papa. in dealing with the latest escalation, egypt played a key role in brokering the cease fire after 11 days of violence. lincoln is now in jordan, where he has an audience with king adela diplomatic at the james phase reports from western rejections. i think we'll 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 blinking wants 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 ethiopia. and saddam issues like libya and then probably for president ceasing, 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. while as diplomatic efforts continue, attention must turn to another potential flashpoint and israeli court has a john to review into the forced eviction of palestinian families and so one and occupied east jerusalem protests took place. place outside cause a reminder, a similar case, a nearby shake. java spot, the recent escalation,

i'll just here is a bill come, it has more air from outside the court in occupied east jerusalem. the court has a german and as the defense lawyer said, well, the court has decided not to take any decision at stake. here was an appeal made by several families who had received a ruling forcing them to leave their home. they had been living in 1967 in the neighborhood of one let. the defense lawyer tried to do is basically off the court to get the attorney general of israel's involved. in this case, that would be a very similar pattern that what happened with the staff ra issue. the reasoning behind that is that the, the defense lawyer said that that same attorney general had ruled against a family policy and in family borrowing, glad shifts. so he, they want to not put him on the spot and see if he would do the same thing when it comes to illegal jewish settlements in occupied,

easier wisdom and gossip palestinians are now facing the mammoth task of rebuilding after 1000 homes were destroyed in the 11 day conflict of hundreds more damaged beyond repair and israeli miss i landed directly in front of this building which is now severely damaged. the season sunk bitter into the ground. presidents have evacuated, the government has ordered the building. be demolished. you're outside is that of a site of the building that has more on just how much will have to be done to address the reconstruction needs in gaza. the ministry of works and how thing announced that he needs $350000000.00 just to reconstruct the residential buildings that have been destroyed, including a $150000000.00 to do all those the, those partially destroyed buildings and like like this building and building the building that has been partially destroyed or partially targeted. so as long as

this funding is delayed, also the, the reconstruction process is going to be delayed until now in many areas. almost all the areas in the gaza strip, the rubble hasn't even yet didn't renew. which means that the entire tree has been closed in front of the movement of the cars and people. because most of the streets, they're also destroyed. and as long as this trouble is kept in place, of course, because the ministry talked about the lack of capital, villages and equipment for the moon, for municipalities at the mysteries here in the gaza strip. this trouble shell say, until they can get lending had an emergency funding to help them out. a bunch court has ordered oil giant shell to cut its compet emissions by nearly 50 percent by 2030, greenpeace. and friends of the earth brought the case. and it's being held as

a major victory for environmentalists, shall unsuccessfully argue that governments, not companies are responsible for meeting targets under the parents climate deal. the dutch verdict could have major implications for similar cases around the world . that's gonna live out of the hague houses here a step, boston is step. what does this mean to show while this is seen as a really, as a landmark ruling, there was an outburst of joy here earlier in the court when the verdict was read out. even some people were in t as a cake is going around 7 organizations and for your mental groups. and 17000 dutch citizens have filed this case and there was a lot of course, some optimism that they could win this case because the same court had ruled 2 years earlier against the dutch state, a similar kind of verdict. but of course, when the verdict was actually read, they were so so joyful, actually joined here now by climate law expert law will have burgers who will give

us some more insights into the this ruling. thank you for joining us. what does this important ruling now mean? well, of course we have only here and her to judge reading a summary. we didn't read the judgement yet, but we can safely say it's a ground breaking judgment. and what it does mean is that shell has a legal obligation to do its share against climate change. so human rights are as they can you explain what that? yes, so indeed, against the dutch state in 20020182022019. the courts here in the hague says that the dutch state can violate human rights by not doing enough against climate change. so that human rights can be impacted by dangerous climate change was already sort of set in stone. but now that these human rights obligations equally apply to private entities such as shell, that is actually quite ground breaking. and what does that mean to us? so shall have to completely overhaul its business now for 2030 because they have to

cut 45 percent, nearly half of their emissions. exactly. so the court said that into essence here a t 30 and shell has to got 45 percent of its emissions compared to the year 2019. and not only has shell to got its own emissions, but it also must do its best to reduce emissions off its consumers using shells project for other for including people driving car exec getting gasoline. yes, exactly. so they have to go complete the renewable then in a fairly short period of time. well, that is likely course that it's not an obligation of absolute emission reduction. so they can also compensate for help and in a way so that it's nets and net reduction. india, and we're talking now about shall. but what could this mean for other companies, oil companies around the world? well, i think we can safely assume that shell will appeal this judgment,

but the judgement is already binding. so even though it will appeal, it has to act on it. and that means that it's very likely that other such cases will arise either any sanction. i mean, how can the court and for these kind of ruling? yes, so and court can then put penalties if the shell is not living up to this judgement . thank you very much. we have, we have yet to hear from michelle at the lawyer just left the court as soon as the verdict was read out to have from it some kind of response. and as laura burke said, we are expecting them, of course, to appeal, and maybe also friends of the earth and all the environmental groups will appeal because some issues were not clarified. yes, just yet. so this case isn't over yet, but of course everyone who has filed this case is very, very cheerful. now, i was 0, steadfast and reporting live from the hague step. thanks. iran, the president is urging the country's supreme leader to allow more candidates in

next month's presidential election. hassan ro, honie says that he's written a letter to i follow the hominy. who has a final say on all state matches for honey criticized a decision by the election watched on to reject several nominations. counselors approved 7 out of the $600.00 candidates the limit husky. jake. i wish the conditions were different than the guardian council would have allowed more candidates to be added. the nature of the election is competition. if you take this from the election, it becomes a body without life and falls down. this is the essence. there must be a tight race for reelection to happen to a high turn out an important election guaranteed to legitimacy of the establishment . and this is a fundamental thing. we have forgotten this. 5 out of town, i was a serious asset bank is there. so i said, president ronnie, clearly not happy, we expect to hear anything from the supreme leader. while we don't know if or when he will intervene or say something the last time he did intervene those

back in 2005 in favor up to reform his candidates that had been disqualified. incidentally, they stood and they lost the election. but there is considerable anger and frustration here in iran, not just from the moderate reformist camp, but also the conservatives. and also today that has been some very public public criticisms of the guardian council and the decisions has on how many the grandson of the founder of this. let me group public to know how many has come out. and he has strongly criticized the disqualifications. and he has called upon the proved candidate to stand down and he said that any, any actions the undermine the republican system and revolutionary and that this system is not the system that he's grandfather found did not that's very, very significant coming from the grandson of the 1st supreme nita of iran and we also had yesterday a member of the guardian cancelled that vetting body. incidentally, he's also the brother of disqualified candidates in johnny. he came back and said

that the decision by the guardian cancelled was indefensible. and accused of the security services of intervening. now it seems like there are political elements in this country. the are absolutely intent on disqualifying. any competition to abraham, right. you see to ensure that he becomes iran, next president. so as it stands with abraham racy, the clear favor, there's essentially no real competition in this race. yes, there isn't any real significant competition. but also if we can't just blame the lack of competition for him becoming possibly becoming the next president, there's also expected a low voter turnout expected. and that's not only because there's a lot of lack of competition. some people have blamed president passenger honie, and he's government the handling of the economy of the coven pandemic. people of last hope in the system. also the failure of the 2015 nuclear during the us sanctions. so you have sanctions on the country haven't crippled it. what they've

done is emboldened the hardliners in the country. and if you make you force them to take an iron fist approach against the west and tried to increase the grip on power . but what is new is that people here and now asking publicly questions of the political forces behind a brain, right? you see, and he's page to become the next president is the only to become the next president, or is he being lined up to give him this democratic mandate in this election to possibly become iran next? supreme need to have a serious asset base reporting live from town us. many thanks indeed we'll get a weather update next here on al jazeera, then severe rain and flooding, still a threat cycle. yas rips across eastern india and syria. this version of presidential election that's been condemned by the opposition as a sham ah

as well as giving his version of events which are rather and plausible in some places. for example, he's insisting that he didn't order that player to be diverted to land. it meant steven bow, his transport ministry, have released the details of a conversation in which in fact, the plane is told that it has to land in men's. can he claim that he didn't know that this opposition journalist and activists drama privacy, which was on board, but he's now in detention as well as he's russian girlfriend. president, look at shanker, obviously giving no grounds in the clip that you've just played and his prime minister and foreign minister in the last few hours have been hinting that bell roots could, in fact retaliate by trying to restrict imports as well as cross country transit, transit as you said, the european union is now putting pressure on the airlines not to fly over,

but in fact they have avoided doing so. since sunday will there be no formal measures? so lucas shank, really on the attack he has said as you heard that this is part of some sort of conspiracy, where the pressure he knows is mounting both from inside the european union and from the bell russian opposition. on wednesday, the exiled opposition leader svetlana to cannot sky up address the european parliament in brussels remotely. she's in lithuania now. she said that she wanted an international conference to address the barriers in crisis. she also said the following. the response must address the situation in both of us in its entirety. we will face such situations in the future. the point that she's making is the opposition figures and now liable to be targeted wherever they are. she clearly feel particularly safe. we know that that is going to be

they seem to have the upper hand. this seems to be a tone in which they seem to say that they will continue to control and hold to power despite calls by president amendment mcclung, the french president i'm calling this a qu within a qu, former south african president, jacob zuba has pleaded not guilty to corruption charges in an armed steel case. so the faces, 18 charges of corruption, racketeering fraud, a money laundering and a $2000000000.00 deal in $19909.00. when he was serving his deputy president, jim has rejected the charges saying that he is a victim of a witch hunt by a rival faction of the ruling african national congress. sirius president bash on his side as cast his balance in a controversial presidential election that sent to extend his grip on power. i saw that his wife, asthma voted in damascus some of the key rebels stronghold before it was retaken by

government forces in 2018. hosting is being held only and go government control areas. i said faces few rivals and is expected to win a 4th term. despite the decade of war policy and an economy in free fall, he's dismissed all criticism, but the election is a sham. on the other stage, we do not care at all about such statements but more important than what the government say's 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 of protesting against the election. it lived was the target of a fierce battle for control after government forces last offensive in late 2019. it now falls within a de escalations own, under an agreement between turkey and russia. that's ok,
