11:02 am
nick. last time we spoke there were barrys there just behind us. stopping people from getting in there was actually quite a crowd gathering on the other side of the barrier. you can see that it is rainy security forces have now taken that away and people are heading through damascus gate towards the alex and most are free late. there was also a barrier towards the top of this sorts of empathy. it's like a well of steps where people like to sit. so those have been taken away. that's important because when i access to alex of mosque is restricted, especially for the sentients, where a lot of people arrive from the occupied west bank to go and pray that it does cause additional tension. am problems so, so far this ramadan, israeli security forces have been trying to keep their presence more low key to, nor have those restrictions that have caused such problems in the past. and that for a moment, this more they looked like she was going to stop being the case off to the incident
11:03 am
and they walked, they were only letting women actually and the elderly through. but now that that's freed up. yeah. and the tensions extremely high. we have this conference of religious festivals, 2nd friday of ramadan, from muslims. it's possible for jude when this is happened in the past. what kind of situations have developed? nick? i actually can't hear you, but yes, from the start of your question. tensions are high at the moment. that's because we do have these are religious holidays coming together or from the jewish pos over the muslim holy month of ramadan. and also a christian at christians is celebrating to day at good friday at. but those tensions haven't just been from bright. now, there's actually been weeks of tension before they some violence in which there have been 14 people that have been killed within israel during attacks. and there have also been 20 palestinians killed during grades of the occupied west bank by
11:04 am
israeli security forces. so this is a moment when things could escalate. and what we have seen in the past at, during last year actually was during a problems crashes outside of the alex so most and then restrictions on getting into it. it actually turned into an 11 day war between israel and palestinian militant groups. so everyone at that worries of that could happen this time around and there's rooms or hope the measures like this one might calm the situation, at least for right now, or a john are back with you as the hours continue there at thanks her much leave. the time being for the israeli military is me accused of launching several stripes on areas in and around serious capital of damascus. a state media report that the country's air defense system intercepted some of the missiles, no casualties or injuries have been reported. the armies being called in to help with rescue efforts and cleanup efforts after south africa's worse flooding in 60
11:05 am
years. and they're bringing a to thousands of people left without power and water. at least 341. people have been killed and dozens more injured. government officials say whole families are missing homes and roads have been washed away and several power plants have been damaged. let's cross through from a miller right now. who's live for us in durban? familiar, i'm hoping you can hear me now. and so tell us what the situation is. now, what are we expecting more bad weather? expect it there is more bad where they expected over the next couple of days, perhaps starting from friday afternoon with some rain. it is sunny now, and that's been the case for the last day, and it's allowed people to try and recover from the impact of that flooding and mud slides, landslides that took place over the 1st part of this week. i'm just behind us who see how that the city is still characterized by it. some of the disruption that,
11:06 am
that, that ensued after that flooding behind us, you'll see containers from shipping companies that were overturned during that flooding. a lot of work still needs to be done. you've touched on the fact that some parts of the city also don't have electricity and water rescue services. r o operations are continuing with rescue. workers do have access to areas, but we've been to a number of places where people say that just hasn't been any help yet. they don't have electricity and water. they are. 8 still people missing and we know that at least 341 people have been killed or in that flooding. the difficulty the cities having it seems is that they just simply aren't enough resources to keep up with the impact of the, the flooding and the mud slides in recent days. and the weather services prior to that had said that it had expected rain, but not to that extent. and in some areas the rain so heavy and that's normally
11:07 am
associated with tropical psych loans. so while the city is trying its best to recover at the moment, the potential bad weather in the next couple of days certainly is a concern. ah, life is slowly returning to normal in an under outside of durbin, 3 days after torrential, rain, and flooding caused wide spread damage. this is the 1st day of 20 piney park, amani has been able to operate his food business, which relies on for a daily income is corckalone split up and this is cassandra floods of really affected us. the people who used to support us could not come in by law because they were not going to work and i or even the little money they had my they had to unit outside with the water and electricity supply still cut off plenty. bonnie does not have any way to keep his stock city officials a year to begin clearing and rebuilding some of the roads and bridges which collapsed to were destroyed by mud slides at home till i kill him. so miss cleaning

11:10 am
the difficulty for some people, especially in low lying regions and informal settlements, specifically, is that they already have a difficult time in terms of government service delivery in their everyday lives. and then it spurred, disrupted by with a vin such as the flooding that's taken place in recent day. so it's very, very difficult time for people who have few resources, which is then of course compromised by increasingly bad weather. i'm further input soon in a toe and areas where these a lot of farming we've previously had droughts. and so the extremities of weather conditions. you certainly felt a by many south africans whether it's drought at one point and intervention. damp was at another for me to, thanks very much indeed, or for me to mila reporting that from the oven. while the number of casualties from flooding in the philippines is also rising, a 156 people have now died. more than 200 are missing tropical storm making, dumped heavy rain over the central late province 4 days devastating into

11:17 am
3 attacks on medical staff and another on an ambulance were reported. 2 of those killed on thursday were from jeanine north of the west bank. jeanine has become the center of the current wave of escalation with almost daily rate wise. with the forces, hundreds of gunmen live in the g, need refugee camp, and often returns ready fire with fire trouble. i'm a law jamia use in ramallah, a raging. i'm not only talking about me. i know how every young man's feeling. the use in ramallah are all ready for escalation. we can't accept to just sit and watch up brothers in gen in nablus and other areas while they're resisting and being killed and injured. all. these really military says it's conducting a counter terrorism operation. it started early april after 2 gunmen from that you need and we are committed to attacks in israel leaving eat is really stead palestinian prisoners group sees really forces arrested more than $200.00 palestinians since the operation started. but tension stretched back longer than
11:18 am
that since the beginning of the year, more than $1500.00 palestinians have been detained and at least $41.00 palestinians have been killed the majority and confrontations with these written military. we're not just talking about the latest attacks in israel as a starting point for the current escalation. yes, indeed, it has contributed to hight intentions all across the west bank. but palestinians want the world to know that they have been under occupation for decades. and it's rarely been a night in the west bank where they haven't seen the israeli army. weighed their cities, arrests people, and sometimes shooting, kill them. on thursday, a general strike was announced in 3 cities on the west bank rabble, la bethlehem, and jeannine. 2 more in the dead palestinians. fear that they'll be more ready rates in the des. ahead need that. but a him. elijah's eda,
11:19 am
the occupied westbank for let's turn to the war in ukraine now. and president flood lensky says, the invasion was only possible because the world did not. i could adequately react to russia's annexation of crimea to dramatic decision. he believes that st. just 14000 people have died as of today since the beginning of the conflict and on boss . how did the world respond to it? and the question has remained rhetoric. but it's because of this that russia decided they can afford this large scale war that he had, he said needful during 50 days of rushes, lord skill invasion that they showed that it's the dumbass, that is the main target for russia. it's the dumbass that russia wants to destroy, the 1st place. it's de nets and la hun screeching that russian troops are trying to destroy in a way as if they wanted only stones left without any people at all. the largest warship in russia's black sea fleet is now sun comes to being damaged in an explosion. the satellite images were taken on wednesday before the incident on the
11:20 am
moskva, the russian defense ministry says, ammunition exploded on board with the credit military says it hit the vessel with cruise missiles, thinking as a major setback for russia. oh, so we've been in touch with ukrainians overnight, who had said that they struck the ship with anti ship missiles. we don't have the capacity at this point to independently verify that by 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 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 for them. but pebble falcon hires a defense, a miniature in this. and he says,
11:21 am
the destruction of warship will have an effect on both the ukrainian and the russian. military's losing a flagship is enduring. a war is well, really bad. it's that that p r. it's bad. it's going to expand, expand increase of the morale of the ukrainians at the time when they are on the verge of losing a real blow under which is under siege and where the air a small garrison is right now cornered. so for them, it's very important them to ship was important. it was specifically designed and soviet times to attack and destroy american aircraft, carrier groups where a very long range, a supersonic cruise missiles and the ship at which can also carry a nuclear weapon. and actually could be, it's a guest, but it's possible that they've had actually nukes on board when it went down.
11:22 am
that's also a possibility. and so it, so vote, russian said that their main massage were not destroyed. well now there on the bottom of the black sea, and of course this also ship had a very massive and the air capability and was used as an anti air, a defense ship in syria, where it was deployed several times to cover the russian air. be said from a name and in the black sea it back to it was there a snake island close to the shores of romania and ukraine through cover with the air the it provide. they are covered, defense cover to a much smaller russian ships. so, and now that's lost and that's a big loss. while the war in ukraine is having some unexpected consequences, germany had been phasing out mining, but has now reversed that decision after the e. u band imports of russian coal. that vessel reports from brandenburg on the
11:23 am
search for alternative energy click night brown color has long been at the center of environmental protest called the dirtiest form of coal that has been providing power to the german economy and households for decades under pressure from the green party the new government announced it aims to close these open minds by 2030 . that was before russia invaded ukraine college by gun grave of a terrible war ukraine means we are realizing. but alex's used to play in germany, wasn't and isn't very secure. i'm going to several possible risk factors that applies to gas oil and the hard cold too. and, but of course, some who are now thinking domestic energy source, which will always be available, as well as wind and sun, of course. and that's last night to make sure there's enough energy and future winters. the regional government and brandon book has asked permission to keep some late night power plant on stand by to have the necessary supply for the coming
11:24 am
winter season. and that hopefully without any dependence of importance from russia, that problem has still not been solved. and inter, as, as i'm coming from the field of industrial safety, i would prefer to as a situation with belt and parachute. and so it would be worthwhile to keep them available. ukraine has accused germany of financing russia war because of the dependency on russian gas, oil and coal. the u has decided to ban coal imports, which will cost russia around $4000000000.00 euros a year. in comparison, a ban on russian gas and oil would cause the country, $80000000000.00 euros. this is one of the few poet stations in germany, not depending on imports from russia domestically produce lick night is one of the most reliable sources germany has, but also one of the most polluting. it was unthinkable just a few month ago that the new government in which greens play an important role would even consider using coal. but the war and ukraine has changed everything and
11:25 am
the climate could be and not make them more c, o 2 emissions instead of less an uncomfortable reality for environmental groups who have long campaigned for an and to cold use. germany for a long period of time has sponsor to the russian redeem bonacre's, russia and has put russia in a position to finance that war. unfortunately, we cannot get rid of that dependency. renata itself is the bitter pill. we have all called power plants that have to get back on the grid, but we have to accelerate the builder of renewables this need some years. but germany industry now has a clear target that its future is based on enable mc. but building wind farms and solar panels takes time and germany is under pressure to act. now that pressure will only grow if terrible images continue to come out of ukraine. and you decide to go further and band russian oil and gas step, fasten al jazeera in brandenburg. china is warning united states. it's going down
11:26 am
a dangerous path by sending its politicians to taiwan. 5 senators and congressmen are in taipei where they'd met the president and have stressed support for the island. they say neither taiwan nor the u. s. seeks any conflict with china, which claims taiwan as its territory. the chinese army has sent to patrol to the east china sea and says its forces there are on high alert. the man accused of an attack on new york city subway will remain in detention and half a psychiatric evaluation. 63 old frank james made his 1st quarter periods a day after his arrest. his accuser shooting 10 people inside a train car on choose day more than a dozen passengers were injured. prosecutors say it was the worst disruption to the cities transportation. since the september 11th attacks, the world's richest man wants to buy twitter. it'll musk, who recently increased to stake in the social media platform to 9 percent as made a hostile bit for the poll company to it. it says it will carefully review the
11:27 am
$43000000000.00 offer. jeril and his own day reports now from new york. ah, he long musk likes being center stage in everything he does. he goes on to get done . and now must attempt to take over. twitter has certainly got every one talking about him. he'll em, us confirming in his 1st interview since the news broke, that he wants to buy twitter saying it's not about making money, but something bigger. having a public platform that is maximally trusted and broadly inclusive. is extremely important. so the future of civilization. a week ago he bought a 9 percent stake in the social media platform, making him it's a biggest shareholder, but he wasn't done. musk broke the news appropriately on twitter, making an offer for 100 percent of the company at $54.20
11:28 am
a share. a total purchase of a little over $40000000000.00 in a letter to the company's board of directors. musk said twitter has extra ordinary potential. i will unlock it. it almost got very strong opinions on, on free speech, you know, on his what he believes twitter needs to do to fix the platform. i think that those are not necessarily aligned with the majority of old, those children twenties. and so from that respect, i think this could be a bad day for because what he uses eye mask as a love hate relationship with twitter, with 81000000 followers. he is an adept user of the platform and both it's potential, but he's also been critical of twitters aggressive stance at canceling accounts of users. it feels promot misinformation, even if that user is a president. last year twitter permanently suspended, the account of donald trump critic say a twitter take over by musk would be dangerous. ellen musk on
11:29 am
a stick to cars in the twitter board on a rejected offer. and we've seen ellen musk time and again spread vaccine just information, use the platform to build his own wealth at the expense of others, and call on his troll army to attack and harass people who disagree with the u. s. government charged mosque with securities fraud in 2018 for misleading tweets that he sent out about his car company tesla. he agreed to settle and pay nearly $40000000.00 in fines, but musk knows that his attempt to buy twitter could bring similar government scrutiny. people should discount the fact that this is the world's richest man. and he is having a lot of fun here, and he's enjoying it and he could well turn out to be the biggest private that we had the world is ever seen. will the little bird have a new owner? it very well could, if musky serious and gets his way, which is far from
11:30 am
a sure thing. gabriel's ando, al jazeera new york, it could be little, nudging the direction of our website al jazeera dot com is the address solid news we're covering right there. and plenty of comment analysis to ah, so this is our desert, these all the top stories. ah, the 150 palestinians have been injured during violent confrontations with israeli forces at the alexa most compound. he's ready all me has arrested at least 100 palestinians. john holeman has more from damascus gate and occupied east jerusalem . this is a moment when things could escalate. and what we have seen in the past that during last year actually was during problems clashes outside of the i like so most i'm then restrictions on getting.
