7:02 am
about that is exactly what caused this situation. be alex most just to give you a little bit of a context. this is something that isn't unprecedented. it has happened at times in years past that tends to happen when there's a lot of tension. but the worry now off to this is usually what happens that i like. so most compound doesn't stay there, usually spills over. and this is going to be an extremely busy day in if it's an occupied eastern limit, the old city because it's the most part. so very starting the jury special, we're try the press going on and also good friday for christian. so there's going to be a lot of people in the area pension in this part of the world at the moment if the occupied westbank is great, there's been about 20 pounds to be in. it's less dead this week. and also in a tax,

7:04 am
a compound so these to tensions. so what's happened and it happens every year, but it's become a bit of a biggest thing this year is a group of a small group of extreme mysteries. i've been saying that they going to sacrifice so that they just office sacrifices in the actual comb tiles. because a lot of these really government said that there's no way they can allow that to happen, but it still stokes things rather than come they find it. okay, john for the moment we'll leave it there. john, home and with a lady there from occupied east jerusalem. way they have been clashes as this friday morning at the i like some os compound. at least 20 people have been injured according to the palestinian red crescent. these are life pictures that were watching. we will keep a close eye on the situation there and bringing all the latest updates here on our
7:05 am
to sierra the the war in ukraine now. and it's being seen as a major blow to rush at the biggest warship in this black sea fleet has sunk after being damaged by a blast. the satellite images were captured on wednesday before the incident on the mosque of the russian defense ministry says ammunition exploded on board, but the ukrainian military says it hit the vessel with course miss signs allow us national security advisor james sullivan says whatever the cause, losing the ship isn't good for rush, so we've been in touch with the ukrainians overnight, who had said that they struck the ship with our ship muscles. we don't have the capacity at this point to independently verify that, but certainly the way that this unfolded, it's a big blow to russia. this is their flagship, the moscow. and they have now been forced to admit that it has been badly
7:06 am
damaged and they've had to kind of choose between 2 stories. one story is that it was just in competence, and the other was that they came under attack. and neither is a particularly good outcome to them. allergies here is very so sedar has more now from keith, ukrainian capital. early in the day i have talked to a senior army official in your, in your opinion official here. and he told me that they have a here, this washer, despite russia, russian religion that it was caused by an explosion. she said that they have here the worship by a neptune cruise missile. so i asked him, how is that possible? while this most worship is having a very advanced air defense systems, you say that at 1st by the drones, we have the word it's raider system. and then later we,
7:07 am
we strike to strike. did there the washer? so in any way, we will, we will, we know that russia a cs 2014, after the next session of crania was increasing its naval forces in the black sea. and so far, the russian black sea fleet has remained impact. but now of the ukraine, particularly receiving the weapons more and more from the nato countries. we can see that now there's washes, are coming under the range of the weapons that are being used by you frame which advice, defense and security analysts. with wiki straw, the global risk consultancy, he says, the thinking of the russian shape or force the kremlin to reduce strategy. it is a very severe symbolic blow. this was the main, the most important ship, at least in terms of prestige and profile in the russian black sea fleet. it also
7:08 am
was the ship that was involved in the famous sentinel and beginning of war and snake island when it can for the ship. confronted some brave ukrainian soldiers who resisted the attempted seizure of the island in terms of capabilities. it's an older ship soviet era. it has not been used till launched the long range. cruise missiles were seen, hit targets in western ukraine. for example, those caliber systems are coming from other ships, but it is important for air defense if the russians were going to engage in a troop landing, perhaps here on death and carry a lot of forces and supplies. so i think that it's a major blow symbolically. and militarily, it's going to force the russians to doubt themselves, to hold back some other other ships until they understand what happened. meanwhile,
7:09 am
