6:06 pm
jerusalem. that's the water shot there. we zoom in, 1st of all to the neighbourhood of a ship at a little bit for the north injuries, then this run will have head south that goes past all of those places you hear about stone with the rock temple mount alex, the mosque compound, all those areas within the old city, which we've highlighted there. and then further south, you can see still one now middle of your screen. that 2nd neighborhood. that's where we're going to go now. actually her bill, homemade. is there an occupied east? jerusalem, and still wants to tell us how the days gone harder. well, the day started very cheerfully. i would say you had these marathon runners who gathered in jefferson raw. they chose the route all the way to ceylon and to and in, but now how aware is the sort of a fit in 10 that's been there for a while in solar, the families who live on that street, who are also facing for eviction. now we followed them during the route and nothing
6:07 pm
was happening. they were young people, teenagers, all wearing white t shirt with the number is 7850 on the back. because according to them, that's the number of palestinians and occupied jerusalem who are facing the threat of eviction. now they arrived in this small alley way down there. there was a group of israeli forces waiting for the what we saw is that they were still standing, singing being cheerful and all of a sudden israeli forces move. dan started firing stun, good days to disburse them and has been ongoing since then. they come back and then is really forces, again, gross, done with a the question i still don't have an answer for is why? because really there was nothing happening. and these young people who were just standing there being cheerful and thinking and happy that they did a marathon. ok, tell me about the wider picture then. what are these 2 neighborhoods which we have
6:08 pm

6:09 pm
which doesn't allow you to kick out this place. people from houses that were empty when they moved in. so that is happening surrounding occupied east jerusalem, and then at the same time in the safety you have exactly the same thing. we were there just a few days ago. you have now the entire streets in the muslim and christian quarter does have been completely taken over by settler. and that is not likely to stop anytime soon. i mean, yes, you have these moments of places like shifts or raw, which led to all that incredible tension that happened over the past month with the war in gaza bought. it will continue its put on hold. but even the people living in those houses know that at some point that case will come back on the table. and they will be asked to leave those houses. and you have that basically in every neighborhood surrounding occupied jerusalem. and i have to say that they are not given an alternative housing they are told to leave and that's great stuff from

6:18 pm
company, or on the new list of 59 companies. there was an earlier list created by donald trump, which included only $31.00. so let's get more with alan fisher at the white house for us. so important to note that this is not a change in policy. it's an extension of what donald trump started exactly, job right and believes that there is a threat from the united states according to the executive order. he sees the reason to expand it to 59 countries, be companies where americans can no longer own born securities or stores in these companies. because they suggest that there was companies help could bonds the chinese military. and that in the view of the americans is a threat to the united states, but also what is about the technology that is being employed by these companies. particular when it comes to facial recognition, they believe that that is being used for repression and also abuses of human rights . and particularly the americans are concerned that this is being used in hong kong
6:19 pm
against protesters. and of course, also being used against the minority muslim, we goes interesting. it comes to the day before the anniversary of chinaman square . now there are some who believe that your biden isn't going far enough among them . marco rubio, who is a republican senator from florida. he believes that wall street is very much in tune with helping companies that help support the chinese communist party and he wants to see much stronger action against them. as for the moment, joe biden thinks that just expanding what donald trump introduced in the last months of his presidency is enough for the moment. he's also kept some of the tariffs in place that donald trump put in place. there have been ongoing discussions between the chinese and the u. s. including treasury secretary, janet yellow in which both sides have described as constructive. but certainly as you report, come all the chinese not very happy about this. and the me, well challenge this in american courts know there's
6:20 pm
a concern that when they did that in the past they had possible groans to do so. the initial orders were drawn up by donald trump's department of defense. it's now being transferred to the responsibility of the treasury, big deal, you're thinking, but actually the treasury has a lot more experience of doing this. so of things. so they think they will be able to make this executive order watertight not able to be challenged in court. the one bright spot for the chinese. this doesn't kick in straight away august. the 2nd is the deadline for these measures to come into force. thank you. alan fisher at the white house. so the u. s. d, and i said sorry, united airlines says it will buy 15 supersonic jets and move which could revive the industry of high speed commercial air travel. the jet may cause, boom supersonic, what they calling? it says it can fly twice the speed of today's leading aircraft that would cut the travel time from, for example, new york to london to 3 and
6:21 pm
a half hours back to the days of concord. united airlines plans to launch the service in 2029. this high speed travel market really did fail to recover off to the air france concord crash in the year, 2000 that killed a 113 people to lebanon, or an international tribunal has cancelled a new trial against the man convicted of the 2005 assassination of prime minister africa hurry re. that's because the court has run out of money. a 2nd case to prosecute selim i asked for a tax on 3 prominent lebanese politicians. was going to begin soon. families of the victim say they've been denied justice. santa hud reports from beggars, family, members of political figures, and others killed and attacks survivors. their lawyers, they all came together to say they won't give up on justice. a special un tribunal for lebanon was about to start a new trial into assassinations and attacks from a decade ago when
6:22 pm
a funding crisis forced to cancel the case. the victims called for this because never been unable and unwilling to prosecute these guns. so if we stop now, to set back for the victim, very bad message, lebanon is nearly bankrupt and can't pay it share, and voluntary contributions from donor countries haven't been forthcoming. the have based court could be shut down. in july. we are asking if there is any policy or even after it, or it's just a matter of money. that's our question. we need to try it. you cannot give us a reason other than that, it's no more money. last year, the court convicted in absentia a member of the lebanese armed group has the law for the 2005 murder of then former prime minister rhetoric of how do you to the lee my yes, has since been linked to 3 other attacks and his prosecution was due to begin this month. one man was convicted for the part that was not for one of one man alone to the court achieved in spite of great on. again, for more than a decade after,
6:23 pm
how do you this killing? a number of assassinations followed they targeted anti has below an anti syrian government figures. journalists as well as investigators family members say their wounds are still open. if anything, there was one lifeline left when it came to impunity. and a string of political assassinations and general crime in this country. all types of violence was that we could get to the bottom. and we could do the thing to the special tribunal. the tribunal is the 1st independent investigation into a political murder in a country where attacks like these largely go unpunished. political violence has not ended a few months ago. a prominent anti hezbollah critic, look monthly, was found, shot to death in his car. authorities promise an investigation like they did in pass cases, then like now there has been no outcome, no consequence, no arrest,
6:24 pm
no trial. the court has had its share of criticism, but the international community will have to answer now as it watches what is supposed to be a tool for justice prematurely shut down. so there else's ita, built with us, and skype from beirut alia, hindi, co founder of the international and transitional justice resource center. thank you for your time, sir. so as then it points out in her report lebanon's got economic problems. we'll talk a little bit more about that later, but that essentially means that this court could just be shut down because it can't quite reach what it needs to pay. i mean, surely this should be some sort of mechanism in place which ensures that justice can still be done. that's really a big shame that we get to that really level economy situation, as you said, has so many different practices to be discussed. but that's a different issue, but my question to get is,
6:25 pm
is the national community committed enough to international criminal justice or not to do the leaders of the word really believes in this concept. and that we should all of them responsible for creating this and continuing to support that. hopefully that will be some just the, some of the assurance stopping they can see that has been happening in the past decades. and this was the only hope for these people, for people who would even just let them all together. and now we're seeing that by the way, we will fight for this. we will be pushing for such a justice because we think it is really needed, especially in situation like we are. one cannot rely on the local just and it was important, wasn't it that mean, obviously not just the 100 irritates, but the subsequent ones. it's important that there is a process because as again, dana pointed out in your report, so many of these killings go unpunished. exactly
6:26 pm
. so exactly. so we live with computers complete impunity and as we know, as we believe in community will in cottage, the put up a continue committing crime. and thus we cannot vote a profit sustainable piece and level not without the justice and the public rule of law. and since the local courts cannot do it, then that's why we have to box them for the international criminal justice. and that's why we hope that that will continue to do so, really without achieving this justice, not only for the victim and but for the whole society together said it would be another rule of law. and now i know that the decision of that was kind of debatable whether because it was an extension, you couldn't get the person and so on. but i truly believe that truth, my direct part of justice by itself could be said from the
6:27 pm
crime. any, will you stay there for me just for one second? i want to just outline the economic situation a bit more for our view is for example, the world bank says lebanon's economic crisis may be one of the world's worst and 150 years. so bad that more than half the population now lives in poverty. the lebanese pound is lost, 90 percent of its value since just the end of 2019 tens of thousands of people have lost their jobs. that means about 40 percent of lebanese, they're unemployed, and food prices goodness, this is how much a liter of milk costs just 2 years ago. it is now more than tripled cooking oil. more than 16 times expensive, more expensive. i should say. people say they simply don't have enough to eat in i how do people live those basic milk cooking oil in any other number of basics? when you can't afford those?
6:28 pm
when electricity is only on for a few hours a day, and when the currency is out of control, how do people live? unfortunately it says the double edge sword that, that is eons that we speak about the people that makes them, you know, after every battle that stand up like you know, like the midst of the phoenix and try to bid against. but unfortunately, it's becoming get it curse at the same time that we are getting used to this painful living. and we're getting you into unity of our corrupt politicians. and i think this have spotted more than decades ago when the national community again left down back in the ninety's and allows for a system of the nation between incompetence caught up amongst the doctors to get together into kind of a system, a kind of a dean that have rooms the country that have both the place needs. and this thing
6:29 pm
is, so i'm that we really break through this coalition. if i want to put it this way and let the people the stand up for themselves in demonstrations i've seen in the past year, be at the be the next upcoming good actions on break the cycle. we will remain in this mission like this just putting us down and us just flipping the people on and it hadn't been as unfortunately our president invited us to or if the police were really tough for them like any out india. fantastic to talk to you and to get that sort of perspective. thank you. thank you. and then use a head from pull that's military support for molly, the latest move to pressure the government off. the last week's crew will get an update line from bama cope. also restoring nature, the netherlands moves ahead with its plans to turn a lake into
6:30 pm
a wild life. and your sports news as well in depth with a south american football champion will even be able to defend their title. ah hello there. the heat persist across the middle east temperatures across the gulf, states are continuing to come up above average from what we expect to see at this time of year q weight is really seem to heat. if we look at the 3 day forecasts, we're going to be touching 50 before things start to cool down slightly. and it's a similar story for saudi arabia. riyadh at $46.00, an kotob, doha at $45.00, slightly cooler in the south among seeing moscow.
