8:19 am
and occupied east jerusalem has more no. what's happening in geneva there's been a situation developing around jeanine refugee camp in the occupied west bank. and that immediate situation really began on thursday evening when a gum, and that was from that camp. i went to central television and shot various people, killing 3 of them. now, after that, israeli security forces have asked his father the father of that gun man. at rod has sim, is the name of the government to turn himself into them. they said they want to question him. now he's refused to do that. he told out his era that his morning his son is not going to go with them. and if they want him, they can come and get him. now on sunday evening, at the his family members said that in the last of the caused,
8:20 am
that he'd receive 2 to ask him to hand himself in israeli security official said that they would come in to jeanine at refugee camp or on of raid. if he didn't do that now, why is that important? because jeanine refugee camp has a lot of gunmen and it has a lot of weapons. so this really is a primer for a confrontation and the mos in the refugee camp have been a announcing the people need to be vigilant. right now the secretary general of is lemetre. g had, has been saying, has been putting his fights is on high alert. so this is a very tense situation and both is re lease and police simians remember 20 years ago, a aid that lost its full days on jeanine refugee camp. that left more than 20 is ready. so just dead a more than 50 palestinians dead. so the situation was always already really tense
8:21 am
here, and there are fees that a ride, a large scale right on jeanine refugee camp. could just open pandora's box here. pulls of closed in mexico's referendum to decide whether president and that has monet, lopez, or bordeaux should stay in power. early estimate suggestive a 90 percent who voted back to him, remaining in office, but the 10 out of around 18 percent as well. below the 40 percent needed for a binding result, my rapid ripple's mexican citizens took to the polls on sunday for a 1st ever national referendum to decide the political fate of president. and that is manuel. nope. is overt other outside this polling station in mexico city, many seemed eager to cast their votes. no mass in fort phantom. i think the most important thing is that this exercise will keep happening in the future, independent of this president in the future. and this will be an opportunity that
8:22 am
citizens didn't have in the past. that okay, is i think it's good and positive and makes our society politically active. and that's a valuable thing. oh, the referendum on the presidency is a divisive topic in mexico. one that has sparked demonstrations both for and against some critics or calling the referendum unnecessary, given that president lopez over a lot already has a nearly 60 percent approval rating. others have argued the referendum is being manipulated by president lopez, but others party to rally supporters ahead of the next presidential election in 2024 in the state will say so long wayllace in this process rule set by congress and piper cannot be a campaign by the president, nor can public resources be used for his ramifications. nevertheless, what we have seen are public servants from the present party at every level based campaigning for it or exempt some have even argued the vote had opened the door to removing term limits in a country where presidents are only allowed to serve
8:23 am
a single 6 year mandate outside of the political debate. however, many social scholars have argued the new referendum process is ultimately a good thing for mexican democracy. the 8th that yielded as he would as it but she puts you into this and other forms of citizen participation are important and necessary as we confront the crisis of democracies. these mechanisms of direct democracy should serve to empower citizens in the public space. and in the decision making processes, a recent national survey suggest that only as much as 27 percent of eligible voters will participate in the recall referendum for below the 40 percent needed for the results to be binding. president lopez, obadiah lord, however, has bound to respect the outcome of the referendum and resign if he received less than 50 percent of votes, regardless of voter turnout. though polls have now closed election, official say it could still take several days for the official count to be
8:24 am
announced. manuel did apollo al jazeera mexico city in the u. s. a. murder charge against a woman accused of self inducing, an abortion is to be dropped. the texas district attorney says she's exempt from prosecution under the state strict anti abortion laws. last year, protests broke out in texas avenue measures came into effect, including a ban and woman terminating pregnancy as early as 6 weeks. or chris edelton is from the american university school of public affairs. he expects abortion rights to be further weakened in the coming loss. i think what's more significant than the decision is the fact that this one was arrested that she was held for 2 days. she was only release initially because an organization paid bill for her. there is no law in texas. that actually makes it a crime for women to terminate or pregnancy. the law you mentioned provides for civil penalties. i think this sends a very chilling message to women in texas and another state who may soon be in a similar situation not having access to legal worship. i'm assuming that united
8:25 am
states supreme court will either completely overrule roe v wade, which is already actually been eroded. it's part of it was already taken when 190200. this is called printed versus casey, or that the court will put additional holes in review with it's not clear that one of them, but i think it's a safe bet that will happen if it does happen. i think many americans are not prepared for what that will mean for those of us who grew up united states after review, when i was born in 971, we heard stories about women before 973 ros decided who would get worse and so called back alley abortions from people who are not doctors who are and they often got very ill or even died from this. the texas was already made it illegal, not a crime, but illegal for women to get abortions after about 6 weeks. one of the things i've been wondering about is, what are women in texas doing? and we seem to be getting some information. it's not that they're necessarily not getting abortions anymore. they just maybe get abortions that are not safe. and
8:26 am
that may be a story that becomes more widespread. united states, depending what supreme court does protest as in tennessee have returned to the streets accusing president chi sign of imposing a failed dictatorship side dissolved parliament. last month, after a majority of m. p. 's held an online session to revoke his decrees. your book has more sense us, the processes that she been slowing down, but though is some, 4000 people was so own avenue bill deeper. it's almost double the amount that we saw. the last big protest back in march in front of the parliament building. it's been mostly peaceful, but the police have been trying to disperse people and they sent me set of a lot of row blocks and stopped more people coming out for debbie. their round about the, the roads leading into avenue bulky by so although it's been peaceful, it's been heavily controlled. and they, they've also been putting out an image as
8:27 am
a sort of piece of propaganda to make it that only about $400.00 people took part. but it's a very crudely put together digital image, and that, that one of the activists within the movement, johnson mer barrick said to please e, counting yourselves not us. so this certainly is a, as swelling in the movement and it's more diverse. a lot of people who've been accusing this had been primarily and after the islamist party, that was the largest party in parliament. but we're seeing much more diversity. we leftist groups like amal at taking parton actually was seen more diversity during the plenary session and parliament coming together actually as an institution. now daughters in somalia, i've opened the 1st public blood bank there in 30 years. it was inspired by one doctor's personal experience. malcolm went, went to meet cooper, a tosh i made. abraham says he'll never forget the day a cobble, nearly killed him. he says it's shattered legs. what, gushing blood. he's
