one of the most controversial figures of the new far right government. they're, they seems almost certain to inflame tensions. yes, absolutely. even this is very much in keeping with his personality and his previous politics as a leader of a far right wing party. now, this was in the making for a few days. he'd already declared that that he was planning on signing off on most compounds bought. the plan was based on what was said between him and mess and yeah, home monday night that it would be happening in a few weeks. his him, tightening up early in the morning for 13 minutes was a quick stop, but it was unexpected. and he didn't make his statement in response to the controversial move that he is making on people. the palestinians have made it very clear that this is crossing a line in that statement. he said that he would respond to threats with an iron fist. and that's very much in line with his way of thinking when it comes to his
12:03 pm
role within the israeli new governments as the minister of national security. now we've had a lot of response already in the last few hours we've spoken. we've heard rather from the joe, they need foreign ministry. they've tweeted, condemning what they called an assault. and a violation of the states is calling the holy sites. i think it's a set that will lead to escalation and also cause on the international community to respond from a reliable israeli source as well. who says that he spoke to the us ambassador to israel earlier this morning and said the u. s. 5 administration has made it clear to the israeli government, but it opposes steps that could home. again, the status quo of the holy sites. the most compound is the 3rd most highly wholly rather sites for muslims. and there's a lot of. 6 lashed back or pushed back rather from the crude party members within
12:04 pm
this coalition government that have warned that this could really provoke the situation. a situation that is already and has been for the last year between the israelis and the palestinians. this is a minister, the hot new law named off to him, the bank of a law before being sworn. and it was part of the deal between the coalition party and to bring back next and yahoo as the prime minister of this country, the longest, longest running prime minister of israel. he has now sweeping an unprecedented house over the police to to turn up lock. so most compound, he would have to have pos received a clearance from security within the police and also for nets and yahoo to have agreed to it. but to no one has agreed. but like i said, it was meant to be happening in the next few weeks. and this goes back to what i had been saying in the last few days, covering the story as to who will have the upper hand within this new government
12:05 pm
isn't knutson, yahoo? or is it coalition party members like ben get there? who also has a conviction, a previous conviction of racism on a history that is provoking to the palestinians. and you know, this is, this is unprecedented as the palestinian for foreign ministry has said as well as how much space in gaza. yes, a huge the charged visit by been given to stay with us are because there's been more violence in the occupied west by the palestinian health ministry as a 15 year old boy were shot dead by israeli forces. it happened during a raid on a refugee camp near bethlehem saw war. can you tell us about this shooting? well, the israeli forces turned out to make an arrest in a refugee camp in bethlehem. as a result of the confrontations between the israeli forces and palestinians, a teenager was shot in the chest on his side since
12:06 pm
a 15 year old during his funeral had a will if you like. they call it a will but a let so that he had written as a palestinian in case he dies. this is something about palestinians expect could potentially happen any moment any time. and if not will, he said that he felt proud to if he thought that if he died he would feel proud because he was doing this for palestine. now this is not the 1st death. we saw a couple of teenagers, palestinian teenagers that died yesterday in a village near jeanine. they will also call top in confrontations between the israeli forces and palestinians when the is ready, forces turned out to demolish 2 homes belonging to palestinian families. and this is just a continuation within the last 3 days at the beginning of this year. we've seen lots of confrontations. plenty of arrest that been happening also overnight in multiple areas within the occupied was by making 2020 to $1.00 of the most violent
12:07 pm
for palestinians in the west bank. and this all feeds into rhetoric that is being pushed and will continue to be push. we're going to be seeing a lot more of this in the coming weeks and coming days from the new israeli government of far right government. that has made it very clear that israel and israelis have right jewish people have a right to every part of this land, or hire us in ocoee by the 3 slim. thank you. ah, no ukraine's president says russia is set to launch an extensive campaign of iranian made drone attacks. flawed may zalinski says, is trying to exhaust ukraine moment. we have information that russia is planning a protracted attack using shaheed drones. it is probably banking on exhaustion. exhausting our people now anti aircraft offenses in our energy,
12:08 pm
but we act and do everything so that the terrorists fail in their aim as all their others have failed. meanwhile, russia has made a rare admission that dozens of its soldiers have been killed. in one of the worst attacks of the ukraine war, the troops were in temporary barracks, beside an ammunition dump. mackie of camp and the occupied province of dun yeske. moscow says the barracks were struck by 4. missiles fired from us, made him ours launches. it says it's shot down. another to ukraine has a much higher casualty count. st. 400 russian soldiers were killed on new year's day. but russia says that figure is exaggerated. it puts the number of fatalities at 63. okay, charles is form b. conflict studies research center. he says, russia is likely to use the death of its troops to justify future attacks on ukraine. we've seen a tax like this before. the only real difference that we're seeing at the moment is russia admitting to having suffered casualties. that's really the only thing that was distinguishes it from other missile strikes, up and down the front line,
12:09 pm
and even on russian attacks on ukrainian barracks and military holding facilities. earlier in the war. we've seen that at the far end of ukraine as well as you heard from the, the russian program to still get mark of just now it won't make any political difference, but we can be sure that russia will present what it does next of some kind of response to this simply because they're admitting that it has happened. we hear that these troops were actually concentrated together in the building, which was also holding ammunition stocks which, which contributed to the large casualty numbers. but that's just a symptom of the care free way in which russia is treating the casualties of its own troops. now if you recall, earlier on in this phase of its so called partial mobilization, it was throwing untrained conscripts into the front line just to plug the gaps. and russia has always been fairly indifferent to the number of casualties that it's off, as in, in trying to reach a military objective. that will almost certainly continue and will almost certainly see high casualty figures on the russian side. simply because they do not treat
12:10 pm
minimizing casualties. as a priority, as modern western military is due tens of thousands, the railway workers in the u. k. a holding a 2 day strike starting on tuesday. pay and working conditions are at the center of the long running dispute. this is the 1st day back at work for many people who rely on the rail network. the strike follows disruptive stoppages in the run up to the christmas holiday period, or how you force it joins us now live from london bridge station in the british capital. and harry, what sort of disruption is this causing, am what is, as i mentioned there, the 1st a back at work for many people, a very major disruption. about half the network is down as a whole. so there are some parts of the country which have no rail services at all here in london, obviously a major commuter hub. there is a skeleton service. the network operators are saying it's about a 20 percent of normal capacity that is just about being run and every few minutes
12:11 pm
here at london bridge a does look temporarily busy as one pretty full train will will pull up and, and people get off, but it is a skeleton network services starting later in the morning finishing earlier in the evening. so it's a pretty grim 1st day back to work. and this is going to be a very grim, miserable 1st week. because this is the 1st day of a 48 hours strike by the r m t union that on thursday, a strike by the as left union, a representing train drivers. that's going to have even more impact we're told on this one. and then a repeat of this strike on friday and saturday, which could spill over into sunday as well. so a very disrupted 1st week of the new year. the government is saying that it's time for the strikers to walk away from the strikes the unions to disband. this action that the public is fed up and that the unions can't expect inflation matching pay rises because that would do further damage to the inflationary pressures already on
12:12 pm
the economy would make people chorus in the long run going forward. and what of the people that are one of the bodies that's been negotiating with the union's, the railed livery group. and it's saying that the union's need to reform their working practices that they need to accept. those changes to working practices are in order for the strikes to come to an end. and how, what precisely are the strike is demanding, doesn't go beyond paid as it go beyond precious to modernize the network and doesn't look like any of these demands will actually be met. well, it, it goes to those 2 things. most importantly that those, the core issues are the, the boss of the r m t union mc lynch. he's been out one of the picket lines again to day. and he's blaming the government for preventing these 2 bodies network rail on the rail delivery group from awarding the kind of pay offers that he says, have been achieved, where they have less influence in wales and scotland for example. and he says that
12:13 pm
it does unprecedented ministerial interference in these negotiations and that the kinds of awards he was talking about that had been made elsewhere, or been se 7 mine even more than that, that percentage points on the, the, a yearly pay. so that's one thing that they definitely want. they want to see a substantial pay awards for their members. but they also say that in terms of these reforms of working practices, which that the companies are talking about, that that shouldn't lead to the kind of low paid gig work or economy that so many in this country have to put up with. he wants to defend work life balance and that the kind of working practices, but his members have become used to over the years so. so those are the 2 key issues. i'd say network rails chief negotiator says that a solution is within touching distance, but certainly the 1st week back would seem to suggest that this dispute will continue for some time. i force at life and london bridge station still ahead on al
