as president of the philippines is heading into its final stretch, struggling what its worth and he sent his ears punching. it's desperate for solutions. but what are the candidates offering and what direction? well, the philippines stay under you. leadership, special coverage on al jazeera ah confrontations. b o x, a mass compound israeli forces detain, at least $300.00 palestinians would lie from occupied east jerusalem. a more funerals amounting to the growing tension between palestinians and israelis. forces in the occupied west bank. ah, hello, i'm to clock this is alba 0 life. also coming up

a make shift food business people trying to make ends meet off to south africa's was flooding in decades. time to celebrate south korea is all set to lift my spit social distancing. rules to keep in mind. ah, he said that had been violent confrontation to the policy. so the all acts of mos compounded occupied east jerusalem. the palestinian red crescent says at least $150.00 palestinians have been injured. ah, yes, that video showing is ready. police rescue people inside the mosque that beat at least 3 hundreds of tensions divide. it started, it was limbs gathered from morning prayers during the 1st month of ramadan. israeli forces fight rubber bullets who take us as most palestinian men threw stones. i let's cross straight away to john holmes. he's an occupied eastern john,

so you're at damascus gate. what's the latest? yeah, you can probably see just behind us the constant flow of people that are heading through damascus gate for friday prays i like sir mazda. this is where a lot of people arrived for some of them via buses, from the occupied west bank to go and praise what you saw a couple of hours before this off to be attacked with the at the israeli and security forces put up barriers to stop people getting through there was quite a crowd they gathered there and also barriers up the top of these steps that people usually like to sit out and gather up before and after they've gone to to pray. so that was a bit of a tensor situation and then, but now there's been more of a free flow of people getting into, into the most, say all this coming at a time of heightened tensions we've seen is rated security forces doing what they call anti terrorism raids have been death, said one of the fairs. well,

all of us could lead a little bit. yeah, definitely. as you mentioned, nick, over the last few weeks we've seen a raids into the occupied west bank in 20 palestinians who died in the last 3 weeks . we've also seen attacks into israel and 14 people have died in those attacks. and it was about this time last year when clashes outside of the alexa, marsh, and restrictions. because obviously, the israeli security forces controlled this area in control of the mo, access into the mouth. so restrictions on the access to those who wanted to go and pray during ramadan. in the alex a most lead in the end to an 11 day war at the 11th day gauze of war last year. so this is the situation that in the past has led to an escalation and has led to more violence. and the fear is that it could do so this time,

these sorts of measures allowing free or access meant to calm things at this moment . and the how are the respective leaderships react in john the israeli leadership? and the telephone's val will be, is really police me is very be foreign ministry. are putting out statements are saying what they did, that they're saying the stone throwing master men entered into the compound with flags that had hammer in the p, a written on them. and they referring stones, and that's why she is really forces reacted as they did, the ha ha mass has said that it condemns the actions of the police that israel will bear the responsibility for the consequences. what happens as a result of this? the in ma'am as well, of the alexa moss has called upon thomas tinian authorities to protect the moss and it said that the orchard pay occupies,

and that he means he is really security forces. a trying to basically of back to wait to get people out of the most. they have con spray. so it is a situation in which there are m. i'd say accusations on both sides at the moment. we have to see whether that then goes further or whether things remain for the moment in a sort of calm or i. john, thanks for that. the time being a john holman reporting there and from damascus, thanks a lot. well, the funeral for a 17 year old policy is underway in the village of kosher down in the occupied west bank. 6 palestinians had been killed and raised fires. rental assistance wednesday . you inspect your general has called for maximum restraint and for israeli and palestinian authorities to work to preserve calm amid the escalating violence in the occupied westbank. it abraham reports now on the impact of those deaths. ah, 5 funeral to been held on thursday in one of the earliest these are the occupied west

banked into st once the palestinian victims were all killed during confrontations with israeli forces. this funeral is for 20 years old ahmed. i lay yan from silhouette village. near am allah o! paramedics told us these were the army delete ambulances and assaulted them before finally allowing them to reach him again. 20 minutes after he was shot by then. it was too late to save him, which was wished the warrior she had. my son's only wish was to die for what he believed in just like his whole generation because they see no future nor a political horizon for them. the palestinian red crescent says since the beginning of this month, medical teams have been blocked from eating the wounded. in 5 different incidents in the past 2 weeks, 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 we've with escalation, with almost daily rate wise, where the forces hundreds of gunmen live in the g, need refugee camp. and often return is really fire with fire trouble. i'm a law jamia ha! use in ramallah a raging. i'm not only talking about me, i know how every young man's feeling the use in ramallah all ready for escalation. we can't accept to just sit and watch up brothers in jenin and now bruce and other areas while they're resisting and being killed and injured. all of these really military says it's conducting a counter terrorism operation. it started early april after 2 gunmen from the jeanene area committed to attacks in israel, leaving 8 israelis dead. palestinian prisoners groups is really forces of arrested more than $200.00 palestinians since the version started, but tension stretched back longer than 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 really 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 heighten tensions 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 wade their cities, arrests people, and sometimes shooting, kill them. on thursday, a general strike was announced in 3 cities. and though i bank trouble law, bethlehem and jeanine, 2 more in that dead palestinians fear that they'll be moore's ready rate in the days ahead. or we can speak to need a live now in the village of crew for don in the occupied west blanca nida, the funeral for 17 year old palestinian is on the way right now. and then

he just left his house. as you can see behind me, where his mother, sister, and other family members and mourners were ready to bid him define and farewell. the family kept stalling. they wanted to see more of him. the mother kept saying that he was only 70 and she didn't have enough of him. so she wanted to sit. she begged even mourners to give her the space and the time to say good bye to him. seen his body move from the house to the mosque for prayer, where we are at. we are expecting him to be laid to rest in the upcoming hour in the villages cemetery. the funerals are becoming some sort of a regular scene here and they occupied westbank or seeing a few of the funeral, specifically in the northern part of the west bag. where we see israel is also intensifying its rays now passed. it is are wary of trying to set the recent attacks in israel and the israeli military operation afterwards as

a baseline for what's happening in the west bank and, and occupied this jerusalem. they say that they've been under occupation for decades and they've been trying to fight it. so this is why they want the world to know that the main reason and cause for their struggle and why they are fighting. is these really occupation some of the people we've been speaking to here? a say that they're following closely, beavens in alex, almost confound. there is an expectation here that whatever happens there, whatever escalation happens there is going to indeed have a ripple effect here to for. i need to leave that for the moment at thanks for the update, the needed abraham reporting or let's move on. the army has been called in to help with rescue and clean up her fruits off to south africa is worth flooding in 60 years, a bringing a to thousands of people left without power water meter miller reports now from durban. life is slowly returning to normal in amanda outside of

durbin, 3 days after torrential, rain, and flooding caused wide spread damage. this is the 1st day of 20 piney park. a money has been able to operate his food business, which he relies on for a daily income is corckalone has been up and o n is his cousin, the 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 law. you're even the little money they had mice. they had to use also with the water and electricity supply still cut off plenty. bonnie does not have any way to keep his star city officials a year to begin clearing and rebuilding some of the roads and bridges which collapsed to were destroyed by mudslides. at a home to la, kill himself, he's cleaning up. she says as the flood level reached as high as the rooftop of 5 children, just managed to make it out safely. bless elinor cornwall is if it is, i've lost everything. my kids birth certificate, school books and clothes,

my fridge, my television. nothing's working. as you can see around here and i've not received any help, i only managed to get blankets for my neighbor, la corla resident, no tando, zebra. yellow says some food has been distributed, but people in this ward have not received any. and they have to make use of whatever they can to get by with like was have one community members are using the stream where the water, we don't even know it's coming from. so to our wash our laundry and also drink from this are contaminated water. while people try to recover, it could be short lived more rain is expected in the coming days. we've been to a. 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 in the, 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 in the mud slides in recent days. and the were the 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 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. or the number of casualties from flooding in the philippines is also rising. a 156 people have now tied and more than 200 are missing. a tropical storm making dumped heavy rain over the central native province for days. devastating entire communities emergency workers sprint wednesday, retrieving bodies from a coastal village destroyed by a landslide. making is the strongest storm to hit the philippines this year. so, to come, paradise 0, a russian warship. now the bottom to see if we look at whether it was an accident or an attack by ukraine, and

a crack down on gang violence in el salvador. and find out why the new measures are also targeting jones. ah ha, who is a chilly start to the day for the australian state of queensland? hello everyone. so we had this temperature and well camp 8.9 degrees. that is your lowest temperature and about 5 months, so it's to be expected around this time of the year. but that never makes it easier . and for some across the state, i was our lowest april temperature in about 5 years. so let's talk about some of that wet weather and we've got showers creeping along the coast of new south wales into queensland like a brisbin twice, 6 degrees, a high for you on saturday. okay, fort new zealand, it looks like this. we've got some rain move in up the south island that too far away from christ church. you've got a high of 17 degrees next stop se stage. i want to focus on indo china because

we're seeing more pulses of rain here. it's going to move further west into bangkok, so watch what it does. it's going to drop down your temperatures to just 30 degrees on monday, which is actually below average for this year. so soggy. forecasts for central and southern portions of china. i mean, look at these temperatures as well. great, lin, 14 degrees. we've sliced temperatures down by about half from where they were just a few days ago. for japan, a typhoon is staring just toward the east. but that's kind of what back some rain and wind, but it's a quick mover. so things improve by saturday, tokyo's got a hive. 17 ah, more and more indians going undeniable to become tools. mm hm. when i, when i used investigate the length, some people are willing to go to reach you on al jazeera

outside of the conflict in the ukraine. how concerned should we be about this on to build up. we bring the stories in different months that are rapidly changing the world we're living because the want to come roches new dollars, it becoming rushes new dawn, counting the coast on al jazeera. ah, ah, how to get what you al jazeera reminder about top stories this hour at least a 150 palestinians have been endued during violent conversations with israeli forces. and alex and mos compound these ready army his detained at least 300 palestinians. the funeral for a 17 year old palestinian is underway in the village of crew for done the occupied

west bank. 6 palestinians have been killed in raids by israeli forces since wednesday. south africa's arby has been called in to help with rescued cleanup efforts. after the worst flooding in 6 years is bringing a to thousands of people about power and without water. so a number of explosions have been reported over nights in the key region of ukraine . yes, ukrainian media has published these videos believe to show russian that miss all strikes the bombing didn't extend to the city center, the sorry to go off several times every night in the capital at let's go straight away to charles stratford who's in the crating capital of keith and charles, tell us more about these attacks overnight as much as you know, suddenly residence in the area of on the outskirts south west of the ukrainian

capital give an area called vish. never vish, never a residence in that area are reporting loud explosions over night. and this is an area near one of the to international airports, as i say, on the outskirts of the capitol. and there has been no official confirmation by the ukrainian military, all the ukrainian government on these report. it strikes. however, the russian ministry of defense said that sam, they used see to land a missiles and stop what they describe as a weapons factory in that area overnight. and they say that sam, this is potentially in response to what they describe as being a ukrainian attacks on a towns inside russia. this was a warning that was given yesterday by the russian ministry of defense turning the ukrainians if they continue to attacked. attack areas inside russia than targets

inside cave in a round cave would be, would be attacked. also, the russians saying that there were attacks on positions in an area close to the bell, a russian border, an area where basically belarus meets ukraine and russia. now of course, we can no way confirm those kind of reports from the russian side. and there's always a lot of talk about so called false flag operations, false flag operations being basically falsified attacks or false reports of attacks by the russians in order to give them a pretext to, to respond or an excuse to retaliate. but as i say, and these attacks are the 1st in round kids that we're hearing about in the last 2 weeks since russian forces withdrew from areas, certainly to the north,

the west and the east of the capital city. so an example that in no way, despite that withdrawal of russian forces from this area that sir cave could not be conceived and potentially become a target once again or as of us at me around the capital. what about the east of ukraine? we've been anticipating this big rush in advance. what yes, from there. we'll 1st see some lines coming out of the besieged, pulled city of mariel, pull of the se on the yeah, on the as of sea city or sorties, they're accusing russian soldiers of eggs. zooming bodies of people that have been buried in residential areas of burial pal. again, we cannot confirm this, but the city of authorities saying are accusing the russians of eggs using these bodies as a means of potentially trying to cover up a legit war crimes. as i say no way in any way that we can, we can confirm that a naval commander in the town is also in the city. has said that sir,

we are basically running out of time. he said that today is the last opportunity for any kind of either political or military solution to save mariel pull a. this is a city that of course has been on the siege now. the 7 weeks it seen some of the heaviest shelling. we understand that, sir, you know, there are still thousands of people inside the city ukrainians, deputy prime minister again, announcing 9 humanitarian corridors, have been set up one of which to try and get civilians out of mariel. also from the towns of barrett dance, which is west of mariel and the town of talk back north of mary opal. but we know how difficult it is to try and get civilians trapped into an out of those areas and to try and get humanitarian aid in. we're also hearing reports of a russian push to the north of merrill pool, around the area of lou ganske ukrainians, claiming that they had repelled

a tax there. so all evidence would suggest that things are derek. a very much heating up with respect to a russian offensive, or concentrated fighting in the east of the country. or charles, leave that 9. thanks so much. i'll strap there in the craning capital of kiff. well, the largest warship in russia's black sea fleet has now sun called to being damaged in an explosion. the satellite images were taken on wednesday before the incident on the moskva, the russian defense ministry says ammunition explained from port, but the crating military says it hit the vessel with cruise missiles. the thinking is a major setback for russia and paddle falcon howard defense military analyst. no, he explained how big a loss is really is for the russians. the ship was important. it was specifically designed and soviet times to attack and destroy american. the aircraft carrier groups were very long range, a supersonic

o cruise missiles and the ship, and 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. that's also a possibility. and so it serv, old russian said that their main missiles were not destroyed. well, now they're on the bottom of the black sea. i just want to get it back to what you said very briefly about the munitions on board, the mosque for it. so they said this, it be conventional weapons as well as did you say nuclear as well? well that's a possibility ended perma. there is a kind of an issue agreement reached by actually of president bush and president gorbachev, and 9 the one not to deploy nuclear, non strategic weapons on sci vessels, as submarines and gret surface westhills. but that's not a treaty,

and they're being indications that russia was the boy that when the present situation, when they are such a tension between the west and russia, that could be a kind of possibility of that. some of the 16 at supersonic and the ship, marseilles on board could have had a specialist. they said russia nuclear warhead on board when the ship was killed. it, china is warning the united states is going down a dangerous path by sending its politicians to taiwan. 5 senators and congressmen are in taipei where they've met the president and have stressed support for the island. they say neither taiwan nor the united states seeks any conflict with china, which claims taiwan as its territory. the chinese army has sent a patrol to the east china sea and says is forces there are on high alert.

most cobra related restrictions in south korea are ending just a month ago. more than 600000 new infections were being reported every day from st . louis reports now from the capital of so cherry blossom season has arrived and so have the crowds gone. other barriers to prevent groups from gathering. there are no park employees reminding people to maintain physical distancing. south korea is still reporting high number of new cases with a daily average of more than a 160000 in the last week. but the government has announced it will lift all physical distancing rules from next monday or an iowa cove in 19 will not be completely over, but we are now chosing that it is the time to carefully tries to restore our daily life. again, people will still be required to wear masks, indoors, and outdoors. although the government has said it will review this in the weeks ahead. to date on id, i think it's still appropriate to wear mask indoors,

but i think it's ok without one outdoors. people are keeping a distance. south korea was one of the 1st countries to experience a coven 19 outbreak. but it was able to flatten the curve quickly with a combination of testing, tracing and treating. by because of that, it never had to impose any locked downs. public health officials were also quick to revise their strategy when the highly transmissible omi cron variant took hold is immune from tito lepeu then and we transition to system for a large scale outbreak. placing more importance on a universal approach under the ordinary system, while raising the vaccination rate and administering oral treatment device. so career is seen as a success in terms of how it's handling the pandemic. even so officials have not let their guard down. the health ministry is offering a 2nd booster shot of the corona virus maxine to p placed 60 and above the w h. o has recently warned. the corona virus is far from becoming an endemic disease and

could still trigger outbreaks around the world. florence lee al jazeera soul. are china's largest cities reporting fewer korean virus infections, but most of shanghai is 20. 5000000 residents remain unlocked. friday, so 23000 new cases is 4000 fewer than on thursday. the city has 95 percent of 2 new cases in china. el salvador has criminalized showing a gang related messages in the media in an attempt to end violence in the country. with association of journalists says the new restrictions target, freedom of expression, and media outlets or latin america editor. this union has this report because these are just some of the latest alleged gang members captured by salvador and special forces. nearly 11000 arrests in less than 3 weeks. anyone over the age of 12 suspected of belonging to a gang is brought here before being sent off to

a high security prison, where they are being denied legal representation mattresses and sufficient food. we are deeply concerned by the series of measures recent, introduced in el salvador in response to the rise in gan kelly's, with a new amendment to the penal code. people like erica villanueva are also being targeted on this day. she made the mistake of posting a tick tock video suggesting that she belonged to a gang. thus, according to when you law, inciting young people to become terrorists. villanueva faces up to a 15 year prison sentence. but the government's declaration of war against el salvador is 70000 gang members. targets not just suspected gang members and sympathizers, but also the media, which has often been a harsh critic of president naive bouquet, lay mother. i seemed salvatore's journalist association, close it open censorship. on reform we,

i'm be worth it. as i read the book is liter homes are very ambiguous and violate the law unconstitutionally. because the aim is to control the narrative. the government already has the control of our institutions. the only thing that remains to control is the media and freedom of expression. the penal code reform contemplates criminal charges against media outlets that we produce, or transmit messages or statements, allegedly created by gangs that quote, could generate a state of anxiety and panic, and g o say they can also be targeted letter for their or forms a dangerous because they block all communications with the gangs except by the government, not just a general escort, but also organizations that work in the community. yet many ordinary child during support, the president hard line measures to reduce crime reported for member. my only hope is that there will be permanent measures that me feel more secure going to market

and elsewhere. her mom says i'm but i'm very n decker. it's good. we're list afraid. those who are criminals have nothing to fear. according to official data. in the last week, there hasn't been a single gang killing compared to $62.00 murders and just one day last month. and the president is wanting, gangs honestly don't behave, he'll take it out on their imprisoned colleagues by reducing their meals from to a day to none at all. to see newman out 0. 0, so this is out there. these are the top story is owned, at least a $150.00 palestinians have been injured during filing confrontations with israeli forces at the al acts of mos compound is ready. army has detained at least 300 palestinians. john hallman has more b as riley police b as very be foreign ministry.
