5:10 pm
where john holmes in the occupied east jerusalem? jonathan was times done the last few hours or so. what's it like now? yes, all is call me now in the like. so most compound insert the damascus gate where we are right now, which is an area where a lot of people used to go through to get to be alike. so most is occasionally a flashpoint as well. so at the moment we're seeing relative calm and in that com that came off to the events of this morning. leaders on all sides have been a been weighing in on this is really prime minister, natalie bennett has said that the security forces continue freedom twice in any way that will bring security to the citizens of israel. but he also said they were trying to restore. com now jordan is the custodian of the lax and most so it's so a player in this and said that this was that he was making step to change the status quo and said it was a dangerous escalation. really what that's talking about is the allowance of jewish
5:11 pm
groups in for religious or national groups to visit the most. and that's what that's referring to the palestinian president he's spokesperson also said much the same thing. and then the chairman said it was an escalation. and also called for the white house, the us to get involved and intervene in solving with the rest of the international community. is let me, joyce, she had cooper protest and the gaza strip in solidarity. so at the moment, various groups, the palestinians condemning, oh, be asleep this. we're not seeing for escalation as yet. we have to remember the tensions around the, the most it last year did in the end, lead to a 9 day. it's like 2 a days long war it between hammers and israel. so that's what happened last year. and this time around, we're just seeing how things go in the aftermath. what's been not just
5:12 pm
a tense day to day, but a tense, you days and weeks in this part of the world. you know, there was an expectation that things were going to be particularly difficult or could be at least on this particular sunday. why is that john gets the crossover of a lot of different things as it always is here. one of those points of crossover is that you have pass over and ramadan happening at the same time. you also obviously have easter, which is a less of an issue here. those 2 of the main issues of what that's meant is that to explain to you the dynamic of the alex of mos compound. this area on friday and saturday is closed off to non muslims, but on the other days of the week, it is allowed for the norm muslims, jewish groups, tourists, et cetera, to go in during the morning. now, today was the 1st day during the jewish air, poli festival of par, sober in which they could go in. so there were hundreds of ultra religious,
5:13 pm
ultra nationalistic jews that were heading in to the alex and most now, right at the moment, that's a particular cause of tension, even though this happens normally for a couple of reasons. one we, we delved into that over the last few weeks there's been attacks within israel of left 14 people dead. their rules have been raised by israeli forces in the occupied west bank that have left a similar number of people, beds, flight schools, tension. anyway. there's also been this week, a call for from extreme is a small extremist you jewish group for sacrifices in the alexa compound that's obviously reach the muslim community. and this led to further attention is led to cause to stop those jewish groups. getting in to the alexa mos compound, which is what they attempted this morning. and then you saw the confrontations and the situation that were in as john harmon at the damascus gate in occupied these 2 islam. john, thank you very much. indeed. let me just to expand a little bit and what john was talking about there, the are like so. compound is,
5:14 pm
is john was saying one of the most volatile flashpoints in occupied east jerusalem from muslims. it contains 2 of islam, holiest sites, the oxen mosque, and the dome of the rock or juice. call it ample month revealing it as their 1st temple. they pray at the western wall in 1967, jordan and israel agreed that the walk for islamic trust controls the compound. israel controls external security only. muslims are allowed to pray in the mosque while jews can pray outside. the walk follows non muslims to visit the compound 5 days per week under supervision. tourists are also allowed in, but palestinians are concerned that the site's muslim identity is under threat by ultra right wing religious groups increasingly entering the site to attempt to pray their illegally castilla head on al jazeera, getting ready for fight. north korea says it successfully launched a new type of weapon and send your money home. how the government in nepal is

5:16 pm
cove. the yankee south was with will hand having lifted itself 10 degrees back up to normal in the last 24 hours. is the forecast for monday, where the rain is still falling in southern china. qualen still on the cold side, but again coming up rain heading towards hong kong like stream, but it's heading towards that city and tokyo dine t will see increasing the bright skies. the temporary heights is in the really nasty shower in the north east of india, and they are sometimes deadly rain proper is coming out through carola and sri lanka. it's possible c, redevelopment of big showers. i think in bangladesh, possibly early cowboy. jackie's deadly thunderstorms. ah, the mainstream coverage of big stories can sometimes deliver more heat than lights in a water scenario. there's always a push to simplify. narratives. nuances is always called for, even in the case of an aggressive war. the listening pace delve into the news,
5:17 pm
narrative, and dissect them. there is not our great deal of subtlety. we're talking about the barbarism that is unfolding as though we're somehow unique. it's not unique covering the way the news is covered. on al jazeera lou. ah, you're watching or is it a reminder? what top stories this are the russian deadline for ukrainian forces to lay down their arms and leave body of poll has passed the cranes prisoners wanting any attack on the port city will end peace talks. palestinian worshippers have been forcibly dispersed from the arc some mos compound 20 people have been injured and at least 18 have been arrested. is really police have now left the area. 15000000

5:19 pm
especially countries from different continents or development level. this is the exact reason why w commission, this expert with the i'm a member of which is to look at sort of a simpler measure, but are much more robust measure for comparison across countries across time. would you have access mortality? unfortunately, when i put them in psych, deaths are above and beyond what you would expect under normal time, you know, usual day in the car. 100 people die during play time. it might be $150.00 people and be 50 plus people are what we call access mortality. i really hope that a silver lining, if you can call it that would be for governments to vitally improve their vitamin patient system. many countries in latin america have been undergoing this reform in the past few years, which give us really an unparalleled insight into what's been going on there. but many countries in se, asia pacific and africa still register only
