1:02 pm
that, that at least 300 detentions that we know off and the violence started as muslims gathered for morning prayers during the fostering month of ramadan. israeli forces fought rather bullets and tear gas as mos palestinian men threw stones. let's go straight to a correspondent, john holeman, who is an east jerusalem for us tent scenes we saw in those videos. ali at the acts that alex said. mosque midday pres. are due to stopped soon, but what is the expectation of what is about to happen? you can see actually there were quite a few people behind us in damascus. gates, which is one of the main entry points into the old city in jerusalem and east occupied jerusalem. quite a few people heading in surprise. most of them already in there now in the alex most. and just a couple of hours ago, there was a quite intense situation here because is really security forces that had actually
1:03 pm
put a barricade there so that people can get through. and also one up the top of the steps from restricting access during ramadan to friday phrase has been a problem in the past, but then that was relatively quickly taken. it taken away, people were allowed to move through. so maybe in another 30 minutes or so were expect to be able to come out to those friday present probably gather on the steps here around damascus gate. now, israel's prime minister natalie bennett, has something to say a little bit earlier about what had happened in the course of the morning. and i hope all is well working to calm things on temple, mount and throughout israel. at the same time, we are prepared for any scenario i. that was one of the major. i think that he would talk about the fact that they have allowed again, freedom of movement relative freedom. this reason for people to go through this case and get into acts of most at 22 right. now on the other hand,
1:04 pm
we've got people that are condemning what happened this morning among the palestinians factions, hamas on top, both of whom have condemned what happened in the mosque, and that you were the actual damian foreign minister. now, jordan has, is the official custodian of the acts of most and what seems to have been a red line is the video that we showed actually a moment ago, which was, it is ready for us is actually heading into the mouth to i didn't take the young man who seemed to have remained in there after the violent altercation in the morning. and so many muslims, that will be seen as a red line the going into that holy sight for the tongue when these situations have happened before. and they have happened before, what has it led to because yes, actually i think it's on everyone's minds here. what happened last year when the
1:05 pm
old cations, in with alex and morse can it surroundings, and then restriction of access to get to it earlier, resulted in an 11 day war between israel and hamas. so there's a lot of worries that this could escalate as it has done in the past and hope so, i suppose at the same time that it can be, can say cont, contained at the moment with the relative movement that's been allowed and that it won't go to or the scaled that it did it went to last year townhome in that 1st in occupied east jerusalem. meanwhile, the funeral for a 17 year old palestinian is underway in the village of code for dan, which is in the occupied west bank. 6 palestinians have been killed in grades my israeli forces since wednesday. the unsexy general has called maximum restraint and is rainy and palestinian authority to work to preserve calm. m reports from the
1:06 pm
village of cooper don in the occupied west bank. 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 fed. well, the family kept stalling, they wanted to see more of him. the mother kept saying that he was only 70 in, 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 moved 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 were seeing a few rural after funeral, specifically in the northern parts of the west bank. where we see israel is also intensifying it's raised now passed. it is are wary of trying to
1:07 pm
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 who have been speaking to hear a say that they're following closely be events in alex, i'm off compound. there is an expectation here that whatever happens there, whatever escalation happens there is going to indeed have a ripple effect here to a number of explosions have been reported. overnights in the key region. ukrainian media have published these videos believe to show russian missile strikes,
1:08 pm
the bombing didn't extend to the city center. those sirens went off several times in the capitol as get more from charles stratford who was and key for us. charles, interesting developments when we thought the russians were done with their attack on keith, we hear about this. what more do we know? will this be no official statement by the ukrainian governmental military on these reported attack? certainly video evidence is strong and residents in that area which is to the south west of the capital. it's on the outskirts is an area called vish neva residents in that area are reporting loud explosions last night. now interestingly, the russian defense ministry has come out with a statement saying that they used m. c to land cruise missiles to strike what they describe as a weapons factory in that area. last night. now this comes after
1:09 pm
a warning by the russian defense ministry yesterday saying that they would attack what they described as a command senses, potentially things like weapons or military installations in a round cave. if ukraine, in their words continued to attack targets across the border in russia, the russian defense ministry saying that there been a number of targets or number of places hit inside russia and relatively close to the bell. russian border, an area where basically better roost, russia and ukraine meet a now, in no way, can we confirm this, but the russian saying that if those that targeting continued by the ukrainians, they would strike areas in ukraine. there are big concerns though, about this, this notion of false flags. the russians have repeatedly been accused of using so called false flag operations. now these are basically falsified pieces of information, a falsified video, evidence of
1:10 pm
a ukrainian strike according to the russians, which gives them a pretext to retaliate and to strike ukrainian targets. so as i say, we have no confirmation as to whether those attacks by the ukrainians happened in that area of russia. but what is very important to recognize is that these attacks and in and around, around kia are the 1st in the last couple of weeks since we saw that withdrawal of russian forces, we understand that move towards the east and more concentrated efforts now by the russians are in there offensive in the areas of commerce? well, let me ask you about eastern ukraine. we've been anticipating and assault, thereby, the russians. any sign that something there is due to happen? yes, very interesting lines coming out from that area. the governor of luke young's region and announcing that several as old people should leave that area. that region
1:11 pm
are announcing something on a telegram channel and saying that people should choose life and leave the area immediately. now that, that area, we have seen a movement by russian forces, they've had some success in that area of luke dance. we also know that there is a move south of give to a town called is you. now they are in control of ism, it's believed that there is an attempt by the russians of a pensive movement coming from the south west this town of idiom towards george luc guns and taking in the towns of slavery, answer, and cremmit tools. hugely strategically important for the ukrainians. ukrainians is still in control of these very large cities. but certainly evidence. they're the ukranian saying that they are fighting back russian forces in that area. a number of small towns close to slum dance. we've also heard from inside
1:12 pm
mary, or pull ukrainian military command is saying that to day represented the last in his words, political old, military opportunity to save that city. now we know that mary awful is sustained, 7 weeks now of heavy bombardment scenario that say to city a huge, huge strategic importance. because if indeed, the russians claim full control of that city, it would give them that land cordele between the dumbass area that has been held to the separatists for so long and cry. mia. and we also understand that there are literally thousands of civilians still trapped in that city. the ukrainian deputy prime minister today announcing the plan for another 9 humanitarian corals, one of which would be from outside, sorry, trying to get people out of mary or put another one in the town of very dance, which is west of mary opal. another from a town called talk mac,
1:13 pm
which is loss of mary for what we do know though, is just how difficult these humanitarian corridors have been in terms of establishing them both sides accusing each other. over of firing along the roads of shelling of preventing these corridors from actually being successful. so were some very worrying signs in, in mary opal. just one last thing on the russian defense ministry saying that they now have full control of a still works inside mario for we. no, certainly according to the ukrainians as well. that this still works was very much the epicenter of some of the most concentrated fighting in the city. there's been no official reaction from the ukrainians on this statement by the russians, claiming that victory on control of that still works. but yeah, all evidence would suggest that this promised east and offensive if you like, by the russians could well be underway. i gave that al stratford there for us in
1:14 pm
the ukrainian capital, keith or the largest warship in russia's black sea fleet has now sunk after being damaged in an explosion. the satellite images were taken on wednesday before the incident on the moskva, the russian defense ministry says, ammunition exploded on board. the ukrainian military says it hit the vessel with its cruise, myself. the sinking is a major set back for russia. so we've been in touch with the ukrainians overnight, who had said that they struck the ship with ship missiles. we don't have the capacity at this point to independently verify that. but certainly the way that this unfolded because 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
1:15 pm
is a particularly good outcome for them to listen to parties in moscow for us. and also what more did the russian defense ministry say about the most thinking? well, officials here have said that this i 186 meter long vessel was being towed back to the nearest port during stormy conditions. and that is when it sank. apparently, the, according to the defense ministry, it lost the ability as a result of the damage that was done to the hall of the vessel after the fire that broke out. and during the ice stormy conditions, the vessel sank. now, and this was an very important part of russia's navy in the black sea. they were at instrumental in the number of i'm missile attacks that were being launched into crane from that area to support the ground operation that the russian military was
1:16 pm
carrying out in the area of near your full a to try and take control of that. strategically important port city in the dumbass region. no the and defense minister official saying that they are continuing to investigate the cause of the fire and that they will reveal the details of the investigation once they have concluded. but certainly this is a very important a loss for the russian and military and the navy. and it is a very important and expensive vessel. it costs nearly $750000000.00 and it's been part of russia's at naval at fleet since 1983. but the defense ministry, adamant that there was a fire that broke out and there was a ammunition explosion as a result of that fire. and that is what caused the incident to occur. and all crew members at 500 of them were evacuated before the ship was being towed dead. but
1:17 pm
again, the investigation continues. and we'll get more details when the defense ministry finishes that investigation dos of any warnings from defense officials to ukraine. charles at touched on it. what exactly are the threats about well, there were 2 separate attacks alongside red brushes, bordered with ukraine on a russian territory. the 1st one on thursday and the brians could region of a russia that is a cross of from the bel russian ukraine border. the russian defense official saying that sad to ukrainian helicopters, entered russian aerospace and carried out 6 missile attacks on a residential areas in that border, towns and 8. people have been injured. all of them in hospital and 2 of them are in critical condition. and there was also
1:18 pm
a separate attacker in the belgrade region of russia that borders ukraine at the area across from our chief in ukraine in russia. there was a number of shelling that took place again in residential areas and 2, towns had to be evacuated. the russian defense ministry saying that if there are any attacks on russian territory, that the russian military world increase. it's missile attacks on key f, and that will continue, and that is something that is not acceptable to the russians. thank you for that. dawson jibari, therefore, in moscow, plenty more head on the knees our including pulled from their homes against their will. why coven 19 quarantine? centers in china, leading to protests without coal supplies from russia, germany turns to its own resources, but could it could come at an environmental cost and england looking for a new test. cricket captain will find out more with kids in this world.

ah, the army has been called in to help with rescue and clean up efforts after south africa's worse flooding in 60 years. they are bringing aid to thousands of people left without power and water meter miller reports. some durbin, life is slowly returning to normal in new nanda, 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 he relies on for a daily income is corckalone has been up high and owen, his cousin, the floods of really affected us. the people who used to support us could not come on by law because they were not to go to work. are you even the little money they had mice they had to, you know, also with the water and electricity supply still cut off funded. 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 mud slides. at a home to la, kill him swamis cleaning up. she says as the flood level reached as high as the roof top 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. lacorte resident, no ton does evil yellow as 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 5 was one community members are using the stream where the water, we don't even know it's coming from. so to wash our laundry and also drink from this contaminated water, while people try to recover, it could be short lived. more rain is expected in the coming days. we've been to
1:21 pm
a number of places where people say, they 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 that flooding. the difficulty the city is 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 where 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. let's get more on this with our weather present. adjust harrington. it doesn't look good for the south african stuff that no, and you know, for durban, not one month,
1:22 pm
but 2 months worth of rain fell on the city over the last few days within a short period of time. it inundated the area. so right now, it's actually a pleasant day. we've got some sun, but bands of rain, north of durban and also toward the south. but look at this, another feed of rain is coming to war. quite zulu natal on saturday. so this is going to play durban. and south africa's weather service has put this at an impact level of about 5 out of 10 saying that disruptive rain can be expected here, but also further flooding and land sides are certainly possible with this next round of rain. ok, so let's look at the 3 day forecast for durban. we've got days of rain ahead. here we go on saturday into sunday is wall and we'll see those wind start to back off by monday though. the sun poke straight back out. but all of this is going to hamper a cleanup efforts over the weekend when you consider another round of more intense rain is on the way mailing. thank you for that. now the war in ukraine
1:23 pm
is having unexpected consequences. germany has reversed its decision to phase out coal mining. after the band, russian imports and reports from brandon beg. on the german search for alternative energy. mcknight or brown call, 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 2031 that was before russia invaded ukraine college by gunner grave of a terrible when 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 applies to gas oil and to hot 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,
1:24 pm
of course. and that's last night to make sure there's enough energy and future winters at 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 winter season. and that hopefully without any dependence on imports 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 have 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 and germany not depending on imports from russia domestically produce lick night is one of the most
1:25 pm
reliable sources germany has. but also one of the most polluting, it was unthinkable just a few months ago that the new government in which agreed to play an important role would even consider using more coal. but the war in ukraine has changed everything . and the climate could be and not a victim more c, o, 2 emissions instead of less an uncomfortable reality for environmental groups who have long campaigned for an and to call use. germany for a long period of time has sponsored the russian, judy, loudecker's, russia, and test put russia in a position to find those that war. unfortunately, we cannot get rid of that dependency remote. it's obviously a bit appeal year old caught power plants have have to get back on the grid, but we have to accelerate the build of renewables. this need some years better. germany industry now has a clear target that its future is based on enable them. but building wind farms and solar panels takes time and germany is under pressure to act. now that pressure

1:34 pm
let speak to our senior political analyst. my one beserra who joins is from paris. the timing of these clashes marwan at oscars. hugely symbolic. last year. clashes there again during ramadan sponsor 11 days of war between israelis and palestinians . friday prayers just finishing off as we had this conversation conversation, what is your feeling? could the situation escalate further today? yes, potentially with kurt, i would think if it a day or as a profession escalation for the palestinians, because you know they've been continuously living on their occupation for 50 plus years. you could, you could turn that as an active volcano occupied jerusalem occupied by this time, all paid in palestine. israel from the reporter to the sea is an active volcano. we don't know when it's gonna spell it out. it's law,
1:35 pm
but certainly it's been active and it goes warm. as you said, jerusalem was a capitalist last year for war. but also remember that the biggest of all part of city that price range also happen after classes in jerusalem 23 years ago. yes there, there, the tension there is always ongoing. i agree with that, but there has been more of a bubbling effect of a recent weeks. what is your understanding of why things have been heating up? docu patient is a driver the the illegal settlements as the driver at the international communities in difference to passing a suffering white's focusing on ukraine is a driver the, the, the, the, the paralysis of the palestinian leadership is a driver of the, the violence of the illegal settlers is a thriving and certainly the idea that at athenians youth also kind of city and
1:36 pm
political parties do not find that there is any peaceful way out. all the conflict of the occupation of the party, the. busy that the so called peace process has been long buried and that there is no horizon for any diplomatic solution. and that in the absence of any israeli overtures, in fact, is rate is a c athenian not violence. protest as a sign of weakness is really c quiet in the west bank and is jerusalem on other places as a sign of weakness. and hence, palestinians have the feeling the sense rush. now, if you will, not only that, the need to resist the occupation, but that they must resist occupation maron, b is riley's launched and what they are describing as a counter terrorism operation on the back of a series of deadly attacks by palestinians inside israel in recent weeks,
1:37 pm
some would say that justified in finding out who is responsible yes, if this was a separate incident out of a blue moon, you could explain it that way. but the fact that this is part of a, a cycle of violence has gone on for 50 plus years, and that the palestinians feel basically strangled her in something like they genie refugee camp. that operation that happened in phillip eve came from jenny and refugee got refugees. this refugee camp has been on the the site or israeli repression, war invasion preoccupation and re occupation once and again and the assault on countless medicines in a refugee camp that's been there for over 50 years. so you can imagine the frustration of palestinians that even when they brought dest peacefully,
1:38 pm
the shut down. so some of them are probably taken to the conclusion that you know, what whoop says we're dying and dying since we are living on that occupation anyway and says, we will continue to dive and refuge within our own country. we can have to do whatever we must in order to feel ourselves. that is their rational. so while israel mike have its own rationale for why or how it was given security, what we know for sure for certain the past 50 years is that no israeli security measures were able to stop the conflict from going on, stuck the palestinians from resisting. so when probably indented they should draw, it should draw a conclusion. is it a sight of madness that these radius continued to use? the same security measures the same repression, same oppression, same occupation. and it leads to the same results by the senior resistance or should perhaps they need to pursue at different path one that does for a change. i propose something peaceful, just and fair to the palestinians,
1:39 pm
such as ending the occupation moron, beserra al jazeera senior political analyst speaking to a staff from paris. thank you. now twitter boss is considering whether to sell out to the wells. richest man, you own mosque has made a $43000000000.00 offer for the social media platform. he is gabriel, as on the new york. ah, he long musk likes being center stage in everything he does. he goes out a good time. and now must attempt to take over. twitter has certainly got everyone talking about him. illness 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 max more trusted and broadly inclusive. i is
1:40 pm
extremely important. so the future of civilization. a week ago he bought a 9 percent steak and the social media platform making him its 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 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 there's not necessarily aligned with the majority of all those children twenties and so from that respect, i think this could be a bad day for it because he uses eye mosque as a love hate relationship with twitter, with 81000000 followers. he is an adept user of the platform and boasts it's
1:41 pm
