from the south for months. humanitarians have been been complaining of the lack of access to reach people. that un of said recently, there are hundreds of thousands of people on the verge of family and some of them already experiencing families in this complex been characterized by abuses of civilian widespread reports of sexual violence, massacres of civilians, looting of livestock burning of crops. and these are things in an area where most people are subsistence farmers are absolutely devastating. they've been violent confrontations and a palestinian neighbourhood where israeli forces up demolished a building to make way for an archaeological park. palestinian protest as have been come to monsieur one district since israeli officers bulldozed butcher shop. it's one of 20 properties being torn down after his rainy court ruled. they don't have proper punish. the family of

climate crisis is not a fiction. that is absolutely real. and if you look, i had a briefing from the wildfire service yesterday and again today the entire west coast of north america from baja to alaska is red hot and waiting. what could be another catastrophic fire season just ahead of us as lightning starts to come into the equations and germany had finished with drawing on its troops from afghanistan, ending and then the 20 year deployment. germany's contingent was the 2nd biggest stop to the united states, which was also withdrawing as soldiers. so africa form president jacob zuba has been given 5 days to hand himself in after a judge sentenced him to 15 months in jail. he's been found guilty of contempt of court failing to appear before a corruption. the inquiry says the headline news continues here off the jerusalem rock in the hot play station. thanks for watching bye. for now. oh

i i use ah

me ah ah ah ah ah ah, when i uh my mother, when was the last time she took the train and where did she go and she tells 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 photo, those and you imagine how the lifestyle was at that time. and when you with it, the train station today, it's like this. me park it's, it's full of restaurants,

full of people who are completely indifferent to the history of the, of the space who are completely ignorant, where it says to send 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 a spirit of the people today. ah ah ah ah ah ah, we were the owners of these houses. 77 percent of west salem before $48.00 was but it's still owned. and when 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 his limb. look at the kitchens inside the restaurant. most of those people will be beneficial and probably from the west bank or from marginalized areas in jerusalem with very low salary. and they are treated like carpets this alexis dental is a man that i know i have the ability to look to what was going on the near future. and maybe also not to me,

she can come, could come from me and the facility would be, i mean, but the mom, i had them in the placement and she hadn't been a little sick. i'm sorry, i'm giving them head a minute but haven't got a lot of open it's not the kinetic sophia not much. and i'm a man. i yeah. home. so i mean,

ah, i, my father's house is exactly opposite the street, which becomes there, the lower back half in arabic, or better or the colony. so let's go to my father's house and i hope they won't call the police. so we'll do it very quickly. this is my father's house, the house of freedom 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 cut plan, who is 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. in the past. 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 of anywhere in this country. i mean, we know that the british were here, we know exactly who was kicked out in what ease and 948. the jews also kicked out of the area taken as prisoners of war. 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

being driven at no such thing. ah, in, ah, has be moved here with seeing these countries things. 17 countries with familiar with was that have tried to driven us out. when he was imperialist, we have returned home is the indigenous people to our own homeland and is basically nothing that the world will, the era will, can do better. and whatever teams have tried when succeed the make or team a jew living in some ghetto or schedule under the nazis or under the czar or on to 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 violins will have really going to kick me up and

they will be eaten up for reference. you know, it's a thankfulness trainer that may be taking the roadway, but it doesn't mean that the put me land live because we have all authority via me, any arab the want to drive me out. someone that wants to do it. someone wants to drive me. someone that wants to stab my god forbid my children like we've seen before. that person will be eaten up for breakfast. now that won't be, that won't be something i would do personally. the jewish people, the said, the police, what it has to be done that will be handled not only we looking over the temporal mounds here at the place where the golden dummies . know that's the place the holy of holies. this is what the arab world wants, and 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 a combination and part of the modem. all today is a dictum that says a sub heights. jacob was he fits that abraham or isaac only gave certain blessings to him and said, and other blessings to him. the children of a ram had been blessed in many different ways that the jewish people, abraham isaac, jacob, king, david, king, solomon, all the way to little daniel luria today in jerusalem is this one chain that's been blessed in a different way. the little land 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 world, is going to have to understand that at some point in time,

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, 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 estimate the goal is actually to preserve culture and heritage and precisely palestinian culture and heritage

into a slum knowing very well that on a daily level and attempt to raise everything. colds, 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 home most, whether it's the coffee and the embroidery versus that is where 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 a very, very, very, very sad, depressing situation. we live and i am very worried about my living here.

mm hm. ah ah, the the, the mother would be very emotional about harrison and about her father's house in about all this stuff. so she's very attached to the to the past them to the emotional heritage, the for me, for example i, i try to focus more on the present what to do in a presence 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 mission was 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 3 constructing the reality of the city. sandy's 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, the 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, palestinians come back and they put a new message on it. there is 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, they're from a stand and for whatever reason, you know, oh no. most people think that the space has been on with it, but the ground between religions. and that's because for 1940. whether you are

jewish, muslim or christian. we also are in the and muslims of seni cushions, a city in jews. 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 the 3 to be. we are one people. but what is divisive is,

where do you stand on the policies or future government when it's the humanise you read the bible to 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 they need jesus resisted occupation and we try to walk in the same footsteps. then the hoary is one of the found to be in. and she is an excellent writer, and she has an excellent blog. most of them are secular journalists, but of course they use this to justify that this is the ticket. 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 the hearing, but then so that the messiah can come. and when the messiah 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. that makes many people say, well, if this is well, i mean once ah

mama could give me a c and my campuses, me main campus is about 3 minutes off before the war. 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 starting and we're see collectively waste heat hours every day going and coming back from the simulation wall it's about it's and above all is slippery as well as seen in front of me and only ah,

i thought that this building, i mean i thought this moving for many and i would have it i have now i have to go basically for about 45 minutes around the north. but other than that, i that makes sense. i think the people who live in there were no, no, no, no. but anyway, one day was like the building on the 150, you know, about 18 years was it was used for our gun in britain because of lack of sunshine for most of the time people talk when they meet each other, they greet each other and they speak about the weather, they would make a difference to have useful day and he and i have noticed people at one point they speak spontaneously about the checkpoint. how's the checkpoint today? the checkpoint is 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 trying to make it work

in concert, especially incident. that is something that sucks you for like there was an older woman maybe like around 5. she was trying to go to the georgia. we're not letting them know that he had met you would say no in front of us or just she said and she said, i was looking at the thought just making fun of what i remembered me and other young people and the other people on the policy is that the good that again, that you need to go back? you need to go, they're not going to let us. but she insisted she said, i want to go to do, tell him to be so of course the army got upset and we from the community because of the question, i don't have to leave. we started and cut it. we saw in her leadership that's next to us and i remember it was already in for many other

projects. him in and it 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 try to carry her. they could not. then the so just give up and they said, you know what the hell with you. go to pre. and i remember she couldn't move, she couldn't walk and so on, jump. and then like a 3 year old kid without the support of the community without the support and it, but she made it to me. i just need to basically who left the middle east and built remarkable like finding stuff in germany of the united states. yet never forgetting that homelands of the rock and palestine inspiring human

stories around the world. the designer and the atomic scientists are now just the world's lungs being seized. the amazon rain forest is diminishing it. a rate of football pitcher per minute to meet the market insatiable appetite for logging mining. i'm farming, as both scenarios, government seek to relax, conservation laws and increase production. indigenous communities on the brink of extinction. know it's the fight at their live. people empower brazil's amazonian battle on al jazeera. our coverage of africa is what i'm most proud of. every time i travel, whether it be still west africa, people stop me and tell me how much they appreciate coverage. and our focus is not just on their suffering, but also on the more realistic and inspiring story. people trust to tell them

what's happening in their communities in a clear and i'm biased and as an african, i couldn't be more proud to be autumn. ah, i'm darn zone in the top stories here on al jazeera to grind fighters have dismissed. the ethiopian government unilateral cease fire. on monday, the rebels captured the regional capital mckelly. they said they'll fight to skip the whole region. malcolm, with reports from nairobi who the sci fi itself in the 1st place was something that was agreed. it was something that the government unilaterally declared by itself when they appeared to be very much on the back foot after.
