this military field hospital, the sheer dedication and professionalism of the medics. many of them volunteers working there, taking in ukrainian soldiers with a shrapnel wounds, bullet wounds, many suffering shell, shatka. we saw one man who were potentially was gonna have to have both, his legs amputated, the maddox. they're saying that her hospitals are being targeted in these areas where russia has been shelling russians are they say targeting hospitals. this is consistent with what the ministry of health says. yes, the last week saying that at least 36 ukrainian hospitals had been hit by russian shells. certainly we saw video evidence given to us by a soldier in this field hospital of the hospital in the town that he had been evacuated from having been wounded. that hospital having been completely destroyed
11:07 am
and speaking to other medics, it was incredible. one man said that he had been trained as a medic. he'd had decades of experience operating in other conflicts. so when we kosovo, syria, iraq, he said he been trained to save lives, but he said that he was so angry by what russia has done here. russia, he said, was turning him potentially into a murderer. because he now was that determined to defend his country. will bring him more on our top story and that is what transpired at an up some mos compounder is really forces and again fight rubber, bullets at palestinian worshippers. there let's speak to stephanie decker, whose joining us from occupied is jerusalem. so at least 31 people have been injured. stephanie, tell us a more about what happened. yes, this was in the early hours around 6 o'clock in the morning. i had a police presence at the entrance to the compound. according to worshippers,

11:09 am
garza and the west bank because it's also a jewish holiday. the last couple of days of pos over, but worshippers have been allowed to come from the west bank. so i think it gives you an indication of the real will to try and calm the ground here because of the escalation that we've seen over the last 2 is particularly week or so. also just briefly mentioning those, you know, those incursions by the ultra far what, right when jews that cause a lot of tension with between the palestinians because they say that it seems to be a change in the status quo. they, they're calling to be able to pray on the side something that is band under the agreement between jordan and the israel that stopped from now until the end of ramadan. 2 so again, as you can see, business as usual here in damascus gate many, many people coming to worship to prayer, which is going to take place in about an hour from now. thank you so much stephanie jennifer report from occupied east jerusalem. and us, foreign minister says he and bores johnson have discussed the urgent need for

11:11 am
someone found it hard to contain their distaste. i have to say, i'm sorry for not paying the letter and spirit. and i think we have heard that the prime minister did know what the letter was. the prime minister now should be long go back to speak off certain vote for this motion. but really the prime ministers, you just know, to get profoundly disappointed in what happened, that number 10, dining street people were bad, the let down, my constituents feel bad the let out. i feel personally badly let down by what happened. there must be consequences from that. the prime minister on a visit to india said he had nothing to hide. i'm very there. let me just say i'm very keen for every possible form of scrutiny. and if the house come can do, i think whatever it wants to do, i. but all i would say is, i don't think that that should happen until the investigation is complete. the math
11:12 am
. my only point, i said, i said it's time to time again. let's get the the investigators do that stuff. boris johnson has already been fined by the metropolitan police were attending a downing street event, his own birthday party. in fact, in breach of coke with 19 lockdown rules parliament's privileges committee made up of 7 cross party em fees will begin its inquiry only after the police investigation is over. it will look at whether boris johnson deliberately misled and be lied to them. in other words, when he said back in december that no covert 900 rules had been broken. remember, he maintains that he believed. then he had not broken any rule that defense could within. if, as expected, johnson receives up to 3 more fines for other events, among more than a dozen under investigation, the privileges committee would have access to much of the evidence. the police have
11:13 am
relied upon including hundreds of photographs. he is already the 1st serving prime minister to have been sanctioned by the police for breaking the law while in office . now for his johnson is set to become the 1st in recent times to be investigated for lying to parliament. finding if it comes that could force his resignation. joan a whole al jazeera, with the heads on the road, a court ruling at times too suddenly century old dispute between mister rog, ron's columbia over maritime borders. ah, the journey has begun. the before world copy is on its way to catholic book. your travel package today. it's friday. here's your weather report for europe in africa . hello everyone. good disuse. so we've got some disturbed weather for italy. the

international community, including the european court of human rights, say that a, the charges against o, small covenant, and his co workers, a lack evidence, and they must, they must be released as soon as possible. however, as many argue this, this trial is seen a highly politicized, because a swan kawan law is accused of a trying to overthrow the constitutional or they're the government. it's through financing and organizing the nation lights on to government, gives a protest in 2013, and then a, he's also accused of accused of espionage facilities. however, a whom a european court of human rights and some other human rights organizations. and they reports a suggest that all these accusations lack evidence. now we are waiting for a verdict, an acquittal. that doesn't seem possible because
