from nairobi enabling kenya. 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 p easier paying government forces left. now since then, there been people cheering along with t p l. a fight is in the streets, the city shooting fire, government administrators from the federal government appointed. the administration had been there since the conflict began in november. they fed just in the, in the last few hours or in the last couple of days. certainly the jubilation. at the moment the people on the streets of the city mckelly, the regional capital iraq has condemned us air strikes along the border with syria . they targeted the popular mobilization forces. that's an umbrella group of iranian back fighters. the group says 4 of its members were killed and it is

threatening retaliation. the u. s. as it hit facilities that will be used to launch attacks against its truth. the syrian government news agency is reporting that the international coalition military base and they're as or has been packed the base station near the aisle. omar oil field local sources told al jazeera that 8 missiles hit the base. there been no reports of casualties and another body has been found in the rubble of an apartment building that collapse last week in florida. it means 10 people are now confirmed dead with that number expect to rise because more than 150 people remain unaccounted for. the rescue efforts of the beach front building in the city of surf side are now into their 5th day jerusalem . a rock and a hard place continues now and in just under half an hour. i'm going to have the news that we're for you with the latest on all of those stories of you that bye bye . i

me. i cannot claim today that i'm respecting is read because it's not possible to respect the apartheid regime and system which brings me and justice and unfairness to them. when i organize voice, i try to show what we are confronting is actually a very drastic and speedy transformation of our city wherever we go in this useful, majestic damascus gate. we see ours of police station coming, microscopes that to watch and to monitor the youth and the people walking in the streets and to the door. but i just want you to see that there are chargers everywhere. there is a very ugly scene today introduce them, which i try not to beautify but to be indifferent to these ugly scenes and to show

what's left of the beautiful palestine and the treasures of the city are getting on. and this is said owns how he laid his house. he never actually ended. we are here in the month and quarter. you cannot fill in. unfortunately, there is an occupation because before the occupation, i am are wide open for everybody because i think the most difficult and the most challenging part of the occupation in ah, ah, ah, what i want to do now is take you to the center of west jerusalem and just show you

how the occupation is not part of the lives in the fossil people. here it is as a visiting girl whom i'm originally from from jerusalem. are you from where the so come visit the old homeland although design isn't played a role in that i was able to come here. you know, i'm like probably the revenue still unable to come here. you know, i thought the idea of israel was such a bad idea if we could accommodate with the palestinian. i really believe that we could find a way to live together and so on. graders are able to dismiss it. they don't think about it. it's the land of israel that's it's in the bible. it's unproblematic, it's ours. we came back. you guys. palestinians are intruders. you know, and you know, this whole claim that actually isn't true,

but the whole claim that there's are a gathered tie between the israelite and the hebrews of the bible and jews of today, you know, is what makes that tie. so you know, this is our land, just go back and look at the bible the and that's where is your course gets a lot of support from christian fundamental. not just from the jewish community and abroad. i don't use the word palestinian. we talk about arabs in a very differentiated way. we never use the word occupation. you don't talk about settlement their community. you don't talk about settlers, their jewish residents of community. so the whole language has fantasized everything. if you talk to people, what is the occupation, where is the occupation, what does the palestinian people wouldn't know what you're talking? and that's where israel has really one. it's insulated people so much from political reality, that's a 100 meters away. and so in that sense, israel winning because it's taking the whole issue of palestine off the table for

his writing. don't even think about it. okay, so we have to talk about alright, okay, great deal. ah, the erotically assuming the but it, if you of the argument issue mad is included in the blessing and in the promise of the multiplication, this is biblical. still, the problem is if you try and you will do succeed in having an ideology imposed on politics or mixture than just mixture of, of, and this is by the way for all christians, muslims, and jews does not forget, it was own up more than 1400 years ago and the year 68 approximately, he allowed the jews back in july, so they were prohibited from living and juice. and for about 5 centuries,

1970 demolished the modal quarter to expand the area in front of the western war. the daughters demolishing everything historical buildings, including them also including school and they have ultimately used graders to so that they would level that man i i would like the idea that we have one define quarter all the way from 9 to 3. you have basically major christian sites that almost no family, for example, who live in the christian court. but it just when you see christian course, it also caught them. it doesn't sound right to build on what the for most of i said, my name is irma named after a lot of those are the for the city and christian from one of the main christian

families of jerusalem. i was named after a month as many to the beautiful relationship, answered the beautiful fowler and has express with his encounter with the thrown in my mother's breast had our christian name, but her name is let me because my mother referred me. so we became brother and sister, brother with sisterhood. that is not to be on the line. and someone from roman time, they had the strategy that divide and conquer and the british and implemented the 1st, the g very one me . we came down from the neighborhood that i live in good infrastructure, the new u. s. embassy, and then you drive down. first thing you get is a police station, a border police that kind of clarify from this point on. we need to be in control. and then you drive through a policy and neighborhood, but because there's a settlement here, the settlement behind this,

then you see there's good infrastructure, there's lights, the sidewalk, and then the entrance to the settlement. come and just after it. and there's no sidewalk you're in the neighborhood and you really see the and the fact that nobody cares about the infrastructure from that point on. because really it's about infrastructure for jewish population that israeli plan to have as minimum people here as possible to be able to keep the jewish majority. and if you want to be a jerusalem, that is, i don't know worth living in for everyone in it. then it has to be one that has 3 of those concepts of racism, but diner than me. i grew up in a kind of classic science left household. so growing up,

knowing that we're against the occupation, but having no idea what the patient is for me, one of those like her moments of understanding what those consequences are, was actually years ago. a sister this younger 10 years younger than me. and we were on this trip with different families, so it was just me and her and then different random israeli families and were together for a week. and there was a dinner and we're all talking about, you know, whatever small talk and i was $22.00 at the time. someone asked me, what did he do in the military, which is the normal is really small talk conversation. and just before i answered, i saw my sister kind of her face turning into the really like that. we have to get into this argument again. like does it have to be like this every time? can we just not just be normal? you know, and that's part of what, being a dissident in different ways. mean it's saying no, we can't ever just be normal. mm

. oh i, i enlisted. this is the default, right? so, so choosing to step out of that is, is choosing to be different and to define yourself with different and it has different consequences that are beyond prison. it's choosing to be an outsider. that is the problem there. it's just a feeling that's fair and it's an it's heavy and sure. but it's nothing. right. i did that for a few months. palestinian sit in prison before they're even convicted in most cases just for the duration of the trial and for years on when they are sentenced. right . don't you think that these measures make the people of sim fi safe us but building walls checkpoint more like a military police. we live in

a state of fear and we are told to continue to be afraid regardless of what the reality is. i think that this is very strong within those really mentality, i mean security, we need to be strong, we need to have and we need to be always in control and so on. it's also very evidence within the education system, the holiday system, and so on. even when you ask is valley officials, what is it about the wall that had to do with security like israeli security officials say very clearly, the wall doesn't prevent people from coming in. inequality is inherent part of the city, 40 percent, almost of the city or not citizen the of the state. they don't have the, the right to vote to be elected. but more importantly, they can lose that. like that's what's on it and looks like it was because that's what the state looks like. leverage that is the key thing we need to create. it's putting resistance. and we can hope that that resistance will be popular and will

not be armed and things of the sort when we talk about boycott campaigns about divesting campaigns is about creating different frameworks of power that policy and have to leverage to tell israel you want this to end you want this to change. ok. let's go to the table. let's talk about what you give for that. that's not the discussion that's happening today. ah, the 1st thing that struck me really the heavy weight of history that everyone here there is that somehow feels that you know, people who live in jerusalem comes through time and through their lives just to carry the burden of its history. ah many it is true, some face pressure and a threat to,

to move out. but if i can take the opportunity of this interview and speak through you directly to them, i would say despite the cost and despite the difficulties do not give up. never given. because palestinians are not people who are coming through this land, just just renting their apartments or their houses for a short period of time before they move on. they are part of this land, they're part of this landscape. one of our pete and founders of said the in is bishop investment from south africa. and he has this famous saying that there is an elephant, the stepping on the mouth, and you leave it for the elephant and the most to figure out your thing. the phase of the elephant, and this is, i think most of us are the citizens. we feel the international community observing us while we are on the margins and we need help with asking help. and you're right to do that. you're absolutely right to, to,

to demand that from the international community and just ask for it in any context . this would never be an association between equals, so how much should we wait as palestinians, or can we wait? we feel we are drowning their own. we refuse to drown. i think that's the that's the question that you posting and have to answer. and hopefully we will. mm . welcome to present of the buffer. i think it's always good to see you on the continent. this is not really is pete. so we call it installed, africans are preventive off of that. but then they think of an embassy. we see the occupation, part of what we supposed to be doing is hosting the palestinians to our home. most

palestine is i can host them at by this part of what was fatality is to hold people at rest. and also as part of the primitive work. but we had denied fundamentally as south africa, we actually eat what was called the peachy arctic trout. those that imposed partied came together and we realized they were common principles. and i think palestinians have to realize they have in common than that which divides to interestingly we call those so called tell the said we, we're a people know line up to meet us. people want to benefit from our experiences, even the international communities. and i would name countries as, as to engage palestinians across the board. but don't you think that of the community when it comes to south africa, the regime was racist and it had to go away. and it was trunk solidarity when it comes to us, palestinians, it seems, is what has impunity?

she had the masses of own destiny at the end of the d. yes, it is true. international solidarity did play a role. an important role in terms of bike or sanction and whatever else. and i solution of a party told africa, but it wasn't the south african collective who took to the streets. the palestinians have to work in a collective. you're going to have a math movement in gauging is really pockets. and we engage people in terms of the common values that we have in terms of dignity, in terms of human rights, in terms of democracy. and these common values would bring us together underneath the golden dime of today that has to be respected is the foundation, the sound of the wheels mount, mariah. and yes, there is something day to day. like to see got some every religious jew believes that one day in the future will be the 3rd temple were told that by our

prophets was seen, the deserts bloomed in getting the exalt we have returned home. but there were some things in the hands of god. so the 3rd temple itself very much in the same position that abraham attempted sacrifice. isaac with the 1st temple was of king solomon. and the 2nd temple will also be the surgeon. but there's some things at hand by god, not in man's hand. having a jew go to the temple mount today to pray, to walk around the whole these place the jewish people in a place that mohammed never visited. the 1st temple existed 1700 years before the dome of the rock was even built. some things in the process as we left to god, has begun with the tunnel thing. you know, it's nothing to do with the table man's any one tunnel and it's a parallel to the wisdom all nothing to do with the temperament itself. it's absurd, hysteria from the world. i'd be more concerned about the legal arab building on the

timbo man. that's a disgrace, and yet they've managed to get away with the huge boss on the temple mount destroying things with sick in general period. that's something that should be discussed not what the jews do walking on the outside of the general mouth. i with by the jewish people had some responsibility to act in a certain way in accordance to the laws that were given by the bible itself. it's very difficult for me to know exactly today. as many rabbis found it, difficult to know exactly what was the specific thing the god was angry with the jews about the people that know the future of profits and foods. and i'm neither, ah,

one of my favorite places to be here in jerusalem without a doubt is this casual, the old roman road that used to look like that is place in israel. christian for muslims anyway. we're not talking about sovereignty. can't compromise on sovereignty. you know what, hands away they're homeless. this is not a multicultural democratic. decide this is not another astray or america or friends . so english no. this is a jewish type. the jewish people ah . so we are now in the can you still pm, which translates to the church of the resurrection. every the very early in the

morning, the muslim permanent with open desert of the church because the church is divided by different cushion denomination. and there was a dispute on who should have the key for the for the door. so they divided the church, but when it came to the consensus, the agreed and on the muslim feminine. they knew that this was the family, it was expected just look like now. i mean, i've seen both you as efficient and i as a very, very tiny minute. you know, when we are just like it does not speak in the past. we used to worship in this church. the church is called the center of the world because of the importance of empty to him of christ. for some centuries, we have been forced to make space for pilgrims and foreigners. and we were moved to

one of the churches outside the complex of the church of that is actually the same thing at the next one. most put example notice would be unit in the way they would just go through the model, can gate restrictions almost. and even those who have jerusalem ideal and citizenship, my nephew and my new dream is to come to jerusalem. they don't have a thermal. their dream is to come to the church of the holy guys that they are trying to do die east jerusalem. you are the only one that can save the city, and if you will not do it is now a fear that in the future will not be nothing to save because they said to live the working secretly systematically and they are taking everything they can. so you should do something immediately in the cities and their

risk. ah, i was one of the founders of settlement in the guys us 3 net setting nixa him with this and i was one of the founder of of him. it's incredible. lay feel during this days. so fraud. to be a 2nd there. it takes. who, who are the 2 years before i realize that something it's doesn't work. each ideology has the price and the price that we are paying for the idea. ology of the great israel is to match this to match. oh,

i meant after arrive, i enter it into the army. a go to the army because they said that this is my role. zionist shoed. go to the army and fight for the country, knocked over 72 he, you know, the young people war started 2 weeks after a i was injured in front of the dirt egyptian army in see night. it was in, in the hospital for several months. when i start to look around me and to see people dying medium, they all speak and not there is that they lose their sons or sans they lose their fathers. then

a started to process debt. if they can me from the right thing to, to the left to desire just left at the beginning and after then to do de none the value nice left. this is the place where i am now. it was very hard to me to leave my writing friends. i change my mind, but they couldn't change my social group and it takes one year before i say ok, no more right wing. it's easier to change your mind than to change your social environment. you. i was alone in this, in the country. we've been traveling for a week and we've seen was there anything on the ground in general? it's miserable. you've met the politicians, they say there is no hope. you meet the united nation. they say literally,

there's nothing we can do. it is up to you. we must remain resilient. we must overcome justice for the palestinians and end of the occupation joined the civil society of the city and community initiatives like economy can sanction kind of major thing be should be the essence so on. we cannot give in to the powerful decision makers and their allies, the trump, and the powerful in the world. we must come together. we owe it, not only for us or for jerusalem, holy place for religion, but for the future generation. empires come and go. but the people remain, and this is the story with what has happened throughout every empire blue cross. they have disappeared and became ruined. but the people still stand here

ah, ah ah ah, ah hello there, let's start in australia and it's a west and windy picture for western areas of australia. we got a weather system working its way into path, bringing with showers and storms and plenty of cloud cover. and as the ease is off to the east, we are going to see the temperature pick up. but there will still be quite a lot of cloud coming through this country is sunshine ahead of that, where the system, affecting southern areas of australia towards the end of the week, it's going to be a rather wet picture. and things are looking wet across parts of queensland. we have had some flooding to the west of brisbin where those torrential rains fall and

we could see more and showers continued to effect the coast of new south wales. but inland things are looking a lot finer and dryer with plenty of sunshine and we hope across the tasman sea to new zealand. we've seen really unsettled weather conditions, severe gales and heavy snow. we've got a southwesterly wind blowing up across the south island, and that's dumping lots of snow on the southern out as we move into when say those things do ease, the cloud will remain, but temperatures pick up into the early teens with some sunshine managing to break through and it's still a very wet picture for east asia with japan seeing much of the wet weather from the remnants of typhoon champagne. ah, a faith compelling story without uttering a single word, the convention manatee, of life. witness through the lens of the human eye. on $20.00

o be the hero, the world. ah marsha, in. ah, me. this is al jazeera. ah hello, i'm barbara sarah. this is the al jazeera news, our live from london. thank you for joining us. coming out in the next 60 minutes. p o p s. government declares an immediate cease fire in the t grow region to grand forced to say that they now controlled the capital, making a condemnation and calls for revenge after us.
