no, it's the fight of their life. the people in power brazil's amazonian battle on algae there on time, the differences and similarities of culture across the world. and you take it will bring you the news and current affairs that matter to you. oh i hello barbara, ryan, london. these are the top stories on al jazeera. we begin with some breaking news. if u. p. s. government has accepted an immediate and unit lateral sci fi or in the northern te gray region, and after months of fighting with the rebel forces, the t great people's liberation front says, and now controls the regions capital. mckinley, after ethiopian government appointed officials and soldiers abandoned the city that government and rebel forces have been at war since november when you feel p and prime minister are the made sent in troops,

the out the t p l. if the conflict triggered a humanitarian crisis that's left 350000 people, on the brink of famine, malcolm web has been following developments from nairobi in neighboring kenya. the gray people liberation front began an offensive about a week ago. we heard that just a few hours ago, there was heavy fighting on the outskirts of the city around the airport. and the edge of the city of mckelly and other places on the outskirts of the city dot went on for several hours. and the people we've spoken to that, say, the htp forces took control. they came into the center, the city took control of key road junctions around the outside of the city, and that the government forces left now since then there been people cheering along with tpl f fighters in the streets of the city shooting fire government administrators from the federal government appointed the administration had been

there since this conflict began in november. they said just in the, in the last few hours or in the last couple of days as needed. jubilation. at the moment, people on the street to the c mikaela, the regional capital, we don't know yet what this means and this is going to be stability across the whole of the rest of the region. a lot of this conflict has been for quite brutally in the small towns in the villages when there be numerous reports of massacres over the last month of civilian and particularly young men and boys didn't seem to be of fighting age, had been reportedly killed by ara tray and, and ethiopian troops that certainly mckelly is the big prize here. and everything suggests that the t p l f. have taken control of it. once again, iraq has condemned the u. s. air strikes along its border with syria. they targeted the popular mobilization forces. that's an umbrella group of iranian backed fighters,

that the group says 4 of its members were killed and it's threatening retaliation. the u. s. as a hit facilities that will be used to launch attacks against the troops. the president's view is that it was necessary, appropriate and deliberate action. the strikes designed to limit the risk of escalation, we will take and he believes we will should and will take necessary and appropriate measures to offend us personnel, partners, and allies in the region. certainly, i would say just kind of in relation to this question over here. we continue to believe that and have never held back from noting that iran is a bad actor in the region and they have taken pardon and supported and participated in problematic, extremely problematic behavior in our view. at the same time, we feel that we're moving forward and look, seeking the opportunity to move forward on new negotiations to prevent iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon is in an our national interest. and that's how we will evaluate.

but it was not linked to a visit by the president of israel and nor was it linked to any elections in iran either in the syrian government news agency is reporting that international coalition, military base in arizona has been attacked the basis stationed near the omar oil field the local storage sources told algebra that 8 miss isles hit the base. and another body has been found in the rubble of an apartment building that collapsed last week in florida. it means 10 people are now confirmed dead with that number expected to rise because more than 150 people remain on accounted for those. the main stories, jerusalem, a rock and the hard places. next the people of 3 faith gave their thoughts on the cities past, present, and future. and for watching the

news. oh, i use

me me ah ah ah ah. when i asked my mother, when was the last time she took the train and where did she go? and she does me. yes, of course. i took the train because there this train in jerusalem connects us with the rest of palestine. when you look at the photos and you imagine how the lifestyle was at that time, and when you visit the train station today, it's like this. me park it's, it's full of restaurants,

of the people who are completely indifferent to the history of the, of the space who are completely ignorant words to receive them. they don't belong, you know, my son often tells me, you know, mama, these people, they don't seem to belong at all to this city. it doesn't go with the spirit of the people today. ah ah ah ah ah ah, we were the owners of the houses 77 percent of west salem before $48.00 was but its own. and what i talk about finance i talk about

muslims, christian and the minority of jewish people. ah . the new 1st train station as they call it, of to slim look at the kitchens inside the restaurant. most of those people will be palestinian, probably from the west bank or from marginalized areas in jerusalem with very low salary. and they are treated like carpets. this alexis general is a man that i know that i went to visit was going on. so you need 40, i need to monitor me. she can come could come

from me and the facility would be on the bus in newco, mom and me had been placed with him he had been a little sick. i'm sorry, i'm keeping him head a minute but haven't got a lot of it open. it's not a clinic, sophia, and i'm, i'm in idaho. and so i mean,

ah, i my father's house is exactly opposite the streets which becomes there, the lower back half in arabic or data or the colony. so let's go to my father's house and i hope they want to call the police. so we'll do it very quickly. this is my father's house, the house of 30 man. my father lived in this house for 8 years. from the 40s until 48 with his mother, he was chased out of the house like most of the palestinians because they wanted to confirm the statement of them. i hear that this is a country, a land without peoples. but all these people who are living in these homes in the

1998. nathan. yeah. who came into governance and as he's a money, money maker and many money lover, he wants to privatize palestinian houses in the same time as israeli telecom, and, and electricity water, all these elements which, which can be privatized, so that he can gain more money. my father's house was sold for $4000000.00 by the cup land, who's a real estate agent who came from america. ah, ah, neither my mother nor my son agree to the fact that i'm very passionately and emotionally involved in the part. you can see that kenny didn't even come with me because he said he wants to avoid all these emotion and issues. when i came here last time, man. from outside, i was taking a photo, the people inside the house. so the flash,

they parked the car in the middle of the street, they called the police, they arrested me, they put the handcuffs in my feet and in my hand, i told them, but what crime have i done? what's my case? i just took a photo. i me not a banana republic, we have a court system. we have a court system who is definitely not in the pocket of the right wing or the religious of this country. no one can get away with just driving someone out. so anywhere in this country, i mean we know the breezeway here, we know exactly who is kicked out in what ease and $948.00. the jews also kicked out of the area taken as prisoners of all that's real, being kicked out and evicted by the arab world. no arab is being pushed out or

kicked out of any with actually been driven at no such thing. ah, that has the moon. we've seen these countries things, 17 concrete with familiar with was that have tried to driven us out when he was imperialist. we returned home is the indigenous people to our own homeland and is basically nothing to the world or the era will can do better. whatever teams have tried. one succeed the make or team a jew living in some ghetto or schedule under the nazis or under the czar or under whoever it may be, the parents we have today, a strong people who have come back to our land. we're back here now, and no amount of arab terrorism violence heights really is going to kick me up and

they will be eaten up for reference. you know, it's the same from the stranger that may be taken away, but it doesn't mean that me personally will handle it because we have all authority via any arab. the want to drive me out. someone that want to do some of the wants to drive me. someone wants to stab my god forbid my children like we've seen before. you know that person will be enough for breakfast now. that won't be, that won't be something i would do personally. the jewish people, the say, the police, what it has to be done that will be handled not only we looking over the temple mount the place with the golden dummies, that's the place the holy of holies. this is what the arab world wants. this is what they'll never get abraham's children don't get along. some brothers don't get along. in this particular case. in fact,

it's even worse because there's parts of a very, very violent streak in a south and my l, which is the combination and part of the muslim world today, is a dictum that says a sub heights. jacob was he upset that abraham or isaac only gave certain blessings to him and said another blessing to him. the children of a ram had been blessed in many different ways, but the jewish people, abraham, isaac, jacob, king, david, king, solomon, all the way to little daniel luria today in jerusalem is this one shy, and it's been blessed in a different way. the little end of israel, we have the covenant with god. we have returned home design. his dream is being realized all the time. and as the indigenous people here, the world and especially the air, is going to have to understand that at some point in time,

ah, in the me today, i live in ship cetera. but i live spiritually. if i may say so in the western part of the city, i wasn't born yet in 1948 during the deck, but i she led the deck, but grounded in these ties are dogs, which i got from my father's house. actually, id processed the style when the house was put on sale and they were uprooting all the ties and all what is in the house. i chose to put them and document my history and my story. i would ultimate goal is actually to preserve cultural heritage and precisely palestinian

cultural heritage into a slum knowing very well that on a daily level is an attempt to raise everything. holds palestinian. anything non jewish that for you think how you want to preserve and protect your traditions . you're rich was your root, whether it's the language food f, l, f l, from most, whether it's the coffee and the embroider dresses, that it's taking them all as a presentation. i will accept not to claim my father's house and i thought ok, i like said that for the sake of peace, i accept not claiming my father's house for the sake of my son, living in injustice inequality and freedom i see in a very, very, very, very sad, depressing situation we live and i am very, what is my living here?

me? ah ah, the the mother, the very emotion about service and about her father's house in about all this stuff. so she is very attached to the past them to the emotional heritage that call it for me, for example i, i try to focus more on the present what to do in the present like what,

what can make my life better? now i'm an artist, so this is important for my art because my art is not already made. it's also about exploration and investigation. ah, i had my 1st 6 mission with 16 and it was photography. and that time it was the 1st intifada. all the streets were filled with stickers and posters and graffiti everywhere. so it was like walking in the big piece of art series is called reconstruction because it's about to reconstruct the reality of the city sundays series of work is my latest work. it's called wonders and signs. one can see it as

a metaphor of jerusalem because of the layers of on top of each other the layers of history and layers of writings of messages or political messages. and then you have the soldiers coming in, covering them with white paint. and after it's covered with white pain, fellas hands come back and they put a new message on it. there isn't as also a big ball, a big bunch of things. so it's not easy to find your place. you feel like you're in intruder. paradoxically, the people that come from abroad, they feel home because it's their promise plan and for whatever reason, you know, oh i most people think that the space has been always a battle between religions. and that's because for 1940, whether you were jewish,

muslim or christian, we also our sense of stimulus muslims are phony, cushions, finney, and juice. ah, we have to know that. but you have to understand the context. most of the population of the country was the palestinian, mainly muslim and jewish and christian. but mainly muslim minority was christian and 10 percent and 5 percent were jews, and it has always been synagogues, churches, and the should values what the li underlines, the relationship between us is that an engine? i don't care if the pre on friday or saturday or sunday. i care about how they treat me. we are one people. but what is divisive is where do you stand on?

the policies are your government when it's the humanizing you read the bible to the city and i and we read it in the context of living under occupation. jesus lived under occupation, became a refugee under occupation. his medical work was done under occupation. the thousands gathered around him under occupation, so we see how really jesus resisted occupation and we try to walk in the same footstep. then the hoary is one of the found that had been and she is an excellent writer, and she has an excellent blog. most of them are secular jews, but of course they use this to justify that. this is sick and then you find all these crazy christians,

i call they call themselves christians and they're fairly completely christian because i mean when they say all the jews have together here the doing is happy about this part of the theory. but then so that the messiah can come and when they come they have to become christians. and those who don't become christians, then they would have to be to i mean, what kind of religion is this? what kind of god, god. when the messiah comes, if they don't believe, then they have to because it goes along with them. they accept the fact, the 1st part of it, which is having them come over here. what makes many people say, well, if this, if this is up, i mean, once, ah, i'm

a professor because my campuses, main campus is about 3 minutes off before noon. today i have to drive. it depends on the traffic. if i'm lucky, that would be like between half an hour and 45 minutes, that i'm lucky, i'm reluctant, but i almost kicked the wall. i feel terrible because at one point i had 3 kids at the university studying university collectively would waste 8 hours every day going and coming back from the rest. the situation was it's about it's a bug. a wall is slippery as well as seen in front of senior only living. ah,

i thought that this building, i mean i thought this building for many and i would have it i've now i have to go basically for about 45 minutes around the north. but other than that makes sense. i think the people who live there was no, no, no, no up anyway, one day was like the building or, or the 150, you know, about 18 years. was it was you look you for our gun in britain because of lack of sunshine for most of the time people talk when they meet each other, they agreed each other and they speak about whether they would make a difference to have useful day. and he and i have not as people at one point the speak spontaneously about the checkpoint house checkpoint today. the check point is the, the new one is definitely different from those of those. again,

i accept the walls of the city in the moving from one's neighborhood to another neighborhood. this is only for the, for the city, and they actually have a good many people here. it's in the morning during rush hour. the most difficult time when you have 6 people, people think to make it work. the

content of suppression incident. something that sucks you for a life time. there wasn't, was there a woman maybe like around 5. she was trying to go to 3. the soldiers were not letting them know that he had the other firm and you would say no in front of the store just she said. and she said, i was just making fun of what i remembered me and other young people and the other people on the policy is that the checkpoint, but then again that you need to go back. you need to go, they're not going to let us. but she and she doesn't like that, i want to go to jerusalem. so of course the army and we from the community because of the testing pressure to leave. we started in cottage, we saw in her leadership that's next to us. and i remember it

was already enforcement other just came in and they said grandma with guns, you need to go. and she said, no, i'm not going anywhere. i went to go to jerusalem to place. she wasn't the thing then or so just right to carry her. they could not then the so just give up and they said, you know what the hell with you. go to p and i remember she put it was she couldn't walk and so on. and then like a 3 year old kid without the support of the community without the support stuff, but i knew, but she made it to me in the next episode of science in a golden age, i'm exploring the contributions made by scholars during the medieval period in the field of medicine science tend to be a good subject to bring different people from all over the world together. office
