's through punches, wrestled each other, while others tried to stop the fighting. the proposed e levy has been fiercely challenged by the opposition for the past month. it says the tax would hurt low income earners is really forces of shot dead, a palestinian man after claims that he tried to run over israeli soldiers in the occupied west bank. the israeli military says that they shot the man whose vehicle then became engulfed in flames after crashing into a military jeep. 2 soldiers were reportedly wounded israel to the eyes. the christians have been driven out of occupied east jerusalem. the old city of christmas. christiana, groups of accused jewish settlers of harassment and say that border closures as

a result of cobit 19 a targeting o lead, then i'll just here is harry force reports now from the old city it occupied east jerusalem. well usually this time of year, the square here in front of the church of the lease i took it would be from with christian pilgrims in the run at christmas the omicron search and the very strong travel restrictions imposed by the way the government had put paid to that in its stead though, in the run up to christmas, we have a route of red proportions between the church leaders here and the old city and the ready government. last week, those leaders put out of statements in which they talked about what have been happening in recent is they say pressure on christian communities throughout the holy land in the form of a tax on churches, desecration, a church, property, intimidation of christian communities. the purchase of christian property here in the christian quarter by what they call radical groups. a reference to the sort of secular activity over the name it as such that we've seen in recent years. now they are careful in that statement to pay tribute to the israeli government's commitment

to christian life to freedom of worship. nonetheless, there has been a very strong rebuttal coming from the very foreign ministry saying that these claims are baseless and distortion of the reality on the ground. they talk about that commitment to freedom of worship, and they say it's infuriating that these church leaders don't talk about pressure on christian communities elsewhere in the middle east. the strength of his response follows what we've seen published in the u. k. media in recent days. an article by the head of the latin patriarch it here in jerusalem. also by the archbishop of canterbury, the most senior figure in the anglican church in which he talks about a hot cry coming from christians in the holy land. the un security counselor's meeting to discuss the humanitarian situation in afghanistan that working on a plan to provide aid and to see when sanctions lation of 38000000 is facing food shortages that may trigger another refugee exodus. afghanistan's economy has been crippled on to the u. s. withdrew its troops in august and the taliban took over.

let's speak to kristin salumi, who's following the session for us at the other night at nations. kristen, what's the point of this resolution? is it going to pass so the united nations has been warning that the economy of afghanistan is on the verge of collapse because of some $10000000000.00 and assets that were frozen in international banks when the taliban took control. so given that money is not flowing into the country, the goal of this resolution is to get some cash into the system and prevent a humanitarian catastrophe. as you say, some to nearly 23000000 people are expected to be food insecure. this winter at concerns that that could trigger a refugee crisis a renewed refugee crisis. so the resolution that was put forth by the united states gives an exemption to sanctions against the taliban. for humanitarian purposes,

the united states does not want to recognize the taliban or allow it to have money, but it does want money to get to the people of afghanistan. so it phrased this resolution as a one year exemption to be placed for humanitarian needs. on the sanctions regime to allow that money to get into the country. will it pass? well, all of the security council members are concerned about the situation in afghanistan . everyone knows that the situation is dire, not just because of the lack of cash, but because of drought. and the corona virus pandemic, all wreaking havoc. the problem is that china and russia are reluctant to car about this one time special kind of an exemption. they in principle tend to not favor sanctions. so the question is, will they be satisfied with some changes that the united states made to the

resolution of mission? initially, they wanted a case by case exemption for aid to go to humanitarian organizations in the country or to humanitarian purposes in the country. now they're looking at something a little different, where the intention as for humanitarian in the un, we'll have to report back to the security council after 6 months, some technical issues to try to appease those who were reluctant to do this on a case by case basis. and at this stage, no one is sir, and no one we've spoken to is certain as to whether or not it is going to pass. the meeting will start in just a few minutes time and we'll, we'll see and hear from the countries as to whether or not they're satisfied that they can go forward. and, and that, of course, will be a great relief to the many people in need and afghanistan and the united nations who's trying to help them. kristen many, thanks out. as it was, kristen salumi, the alive of the you in a jury in the trial of a former u. s. police officer who's charged with killing a black motorist has been told to carry on deliberating. if it fails to reach

a verdict. kimberly porter pleaded not guilty to manslaughter, saying she meant to use her taser, but drew her gun on short, dante writes the killing trigger nationwide protests. john henry was born out from outside the court in minneapolis. all we've heard is that the jury came back with one question yesterday. they wanted to know about the timing. when kim potter consulted a defense expert that that's because there were some inconsistencies in her story about how she reacted to the shooting at the time. but we really don't know a lot more. the judge says that she wants to wrap up this case by christmas eve that's on friday. but you really has no control over how long the jury takes if they're hung, meaning they are not able to agree. they could deliberate for days until the judge determines it. they are your reconcile aubrey irreconcilable at def, at odds. she's facing manslaughter 1st degree. and 2nd degree,

the total maximum that she could potentially face if you were convicted of both crimes is 25 years in prison. more typically for someone like her who doesn't have a record, it would be 7 years on the 1st agree charge and 5 on the other charge. but when that verdict comes down to the court house behind me, there will also be a verdict in the streets. minneapolis is really the epicenter of the black lives matter movement. it was here that george floyd was killed. and of course this happened during the protests over his death. so the possibility is there that there could be peaceful protests. there could also be the kind of looting and arson that we saw in the summer of 2020. so what's at stake for minneapolis is also huge, but for kim potter, she phases of potential of years in prison and for a police officer here in the united states that does not tend to go well. branches of mcdonalds and japan say they're being forced to ration french fries state fast food chain says it will only sal small size orders for

which said that they were destroying the character of the neighborhood, but support from the residence quickly dismissed the accusation. the painting continues both with new work and maintaining the old. now that the crone of irish restrictions had been lifted, the artists and residents hoped the more people visit, and it will become a defining motif of the neighbourhood the years to come around con our desert cordelia, baghdad. just ahead here on these are brought to life after 66000000 years this baby dinosaurs, one of the best preserved embryos ever found. i'll tell you more and in sport, a painful twist fell upon james as his team suffers another defeat hamby here with that in just a few moments. ah, the latest news as it breaks this used to be the historic town center. now it is
