2:09 pm
places in the gods, the city, and they could right here behind me, it's the un headquarters. this is where they located. at the end, they delivered the message. this rally was called out for by the palestinian faction. they gave out a message and they said that they're going to delivered the written message or speech to the you when at the end after the delivery. that the most important is that they said that the 74 anniversary of next marks the displacement of the policy people and the uprooting from their land. they also affirmed on their right of return. and that this right shall never full or, or end even by as years go by. they also confirmed that the resistance is the only solution that they are going to be holding onto
2:10 pm
as their return off the for the return of the palestinian land. or human side the for in gaza. city. thank you. people are voting in lebanon to elect a new parliament. it's the 1st election since 2018 since then the public's trust in politicians is plummeted for an economic meltdown. a devastating explosion. if a report analysts say it could be one of the most competitive and unpredictable elections in recent years, spend a whole life for us now in bay route. they know what turn out be like so far. house people feeling about these elections rather appears to be in sociology. i'm a lot of traffic in the streets queues outside polling stations 2 hours ago, the interior ministry, a report to the 15 percent voter turnout. they're expected to issue an update shortly. we've been speaking to people here, many of them are telling us that this could be a make or break really
2:11 pm
a for this country that they're pinning a lot of hopes for change. but at the same time, they acknowledge that there's only so much change that, that, that can happen because the newcomers, the coalitions that were born from the protest movement back in 2019 are still weak . they're still divided. they're still unorganized. but they believe even if they can win 10 seats out of the $128.00 c, parliament change can begin. but in the wider picture, this electoral battle is between 2 camps. the what is known here in lebanon as the pro iranian camp has bala and its allies at this point in time. they have the majority in parliament, and then you have the traditional opponents of has below the pro west pro saudi camp. 6 they are trying to make gains, so there's so much it's fake for all the different parties, all the while. the country has all but collapse, the space has all but collapse, the economy has collapsed, the currency has collapsed. there's the breakdown of state services in this building station. there's no electricity. voters are using a flashlights. so it's
2:12 pm
a really dire situation and people are hoping for change. but at the end of the day, we're going to see a lot of old faces in the new parliament. but the question is, how will the balance of power differ? is that kind of things? me my next question, zayna. how realistic is it that whoever is voted in will be able to make any real change given the, the magnitude of the challenges facing the country? it's going to be very, very difficult. they expect so many people will tell you, we expect the traditional parties, whether they're in the pro hezbollah camp or the anti hezbollah camp. they will be the majority in the next parliament. none of them are talking about the economy. nobody, they, they make promises that the depositors are going to get back their money. money has been trapped and banks. but the big divisive issue in this country boils down to
2:13 pm
hezbollah weapons, as well as saying that we have a right to, to, to retain our weapons. the anti has bullet camp saying, no, you know, there should be a state. we need to build a state of functioning, a functioning state because all those in power have been in power for decades. if they are to reform the system, if they are to fight corruption than they lose their control over the state and lose their control over the resources. but like i said, people feel that this is a form of protests, even if they cast the ballot. and that ballad will only make a minor difference. they are trying to make to make that change. but what we have to see is whether or not has well in its allies will retain their majority in parliament, or whether the their opposing camp will do that. and if the opposing camp does, when their platform is closer to the newcomers. so really a very, very competitive electoral battle today that are there for us in beirut. thank you . still ahead on al jazeera pro abortion rights protest is make their voices heard

journalists arena, blocked by is, brady forces will be shake, dra neighbourhood, a bulky bodies. jerusalem is a big flash point you to forced evictions of palestinians live to him on con. who is there, emerald? tell us more about the significance of the neighbourhood. well, it was this time last year the israel made its war on garza. that was a direct result of the fullest evictions that took place in this neighborhood. i'll give you a very quick history lesson in 1956, 28 families fleeing the expulsion of palestinians from what was then becoming the newly was the new state of israel came to this neighbourhood. those 28 families were when it was under jordanian control. were given a plot of land that houses were actually built by the united nations. but ever since then, they've faced the threats of eviction from israel in the seventy's and 72. ah,
2:18 pm
the israeli courts awarded these houses some of these houses to israeli settlers of organisations. one of those is that house just that that used to be a palestinian home ever since the 70s. that is continuing with other houses being taken over by these illegal israeli settler organizations. now the house next door to me is actually a microcosm all the oh, what is going on here in front of the house is a juice settler family. this is the house and then in the back is a palestinian family. so the palestinians have to live with a jew settler organisation in front of them. now that those of these forced evictions have been continued for a very long time. they accelerated last year. people were showing their support not just here in occupied eastern eastern,
2:19 pm
but across the world. her mass then decided that they were going to back, the palestinians were losing their homes in occupied east jerusalem when the evictions took place from affluence rockets into israeli territories. and that's what sparked the war on gaza, which actually destroyed our desert office. so this is always been a flash point neighborhood. now i in the law a year and he's really caught his rule that for palestinian families, are allowed to fight their case in court to remain in lees properties that any decisions previous to that are now non boyd. and they're allowed to present their case. but that's only for family, they still at least $300.00 palestinians in this neighborhood that really don't know whether they are going to be a victim. and they don't know when the events that could come. they could come at any moment late at night. and they could lose their houses and run car, therefore us in checked her. thank you. finland has confirmed that it will
2:20 pm
officially apply for nato membership. it's long be neutral, where the government has said that the kremlin to unpredictable behavior is a pressing issue. it shares the 1300 kilometer border with russia. public supports infant and the membership of the alliance has more than doubled the start of the war in the ukraine. ordinary people, with their opinions, political parties, government, parliament, they have shown how strong phineas democracy is. as a result of that, we have to day historic day fear lunch will maximize it. sir. security was go of steadfast and her standing by for us in berlin, where foreign ministers of the meeting nature, foreign ministers, what have they been saying then about the about the prospects of finan sweet, enjoining later? well,
2:21 pm
the finished president uses the worth's a historic day, and that's exactly also what the foreign ministers here have been calling it and add to neutrality of for many decades by finland. but all the 30 nato member states have to agree with its membership, and that's a bit of a problem still, because at the moment, turkey is still making objections to president earth one just a few days ago said that he has a composite, safely respond because he said that to sweden and finland are hosting what he calls stories, organizations, he's been talking about the p k. k, the kurdish, a worker's party. but interestingly, the finished president during this historic announcement sat that he's kind of confused by on statement because we spoke with him on the phone a month ago. it was actually early on. he sat who brought up natal membership for failure and he said he would support it. so to finish presidents that he's a bit confused and he invites are to want to have
2:22 pm
a phone conversation. so this needs to be as straightened because all the foreign ministers who are supportive for membership say they want to do it as quickly as possible. there is a concern about his grade periods when finland and also expected sweden will not be protected by article 5, which means one attack on one is an attack on all. so there's a concerns about this period. how rush has gonna respond. so they're actually talking about only a few weeks that they want to, to make this whole process happen. but they are, this could be a bit difficult if turkey is not agreeing step. what is a reminder of what, what russia has been saying about this prospect. if in sweden, do join nato well, it's clear that russia is not happy about a president put in has called a death, a threat to russia. and we can of course see that this is completely the opposite of flow. what put in one or 2 achieve, when he sat,
2:23 pm
he invaded ukraine because nato was creeping up so close to russia. so that us now doubling the border between natal and russia. if finland and sweden are gonna join . so this is her a strategy, a rush hour. so there has also been talks about some measure. so some response that will come up from the kremlin. so that's a concern here. there were even question sir, to the finish prime minister about the nucleus rat. but she says, joining nato actually is reducing this threat because nato has nuclear weapons as well. but you can imagine it's a fence situation and us with some kind of anxiety about this decision. of course i had to take that out there to fasten there for us in berlin. ukraine has storm to victory at the eurovision song contest. it was represented by the folk rap band collage orchestra. adarine has this report from turin. this he has host city ah
