to assaults in ocoee potty jerusalem and israeli settlers set fire to palestinians, homes and cars raising phase of more violence. ah, hello mani. inside. this is al jazeera ally from also coming up a under pressure to the killing of an unarmed black police in the u. s. city of memphis dis, and a special team form to tackle street crimes. and i'm jessica washington in hong kong, one of the world's most expensive cities to live in oklahoma is on the rise. ah, hello and welcome to the program. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has

announced a series of measures off to 7 israelis were killed and 5 wounded in 2 shootings. the move followed a 4 hour meeting of a security cabinet which took place late on saturday. on the homes of palestinians, suspected of being involved in the attacks are to be demolished. the government will also make it easier for setlist own guns by false tracking licenses, and it will strengthen the policy, the police and military with operations planned to arrest. people collect illegal weapons, are you it's it, but the plumbing shall i guess the, the attorney general moment and every 2 hours i was in contact with her people not allowing us to feel any houses in my community. awful. i mean, it can't be like, not in my opinion, it's not terribly to me and the government, but the citizen of israel, not the most as a city to my by don't the issue of ceiling. the houses there's a further list of steps are requested,

which i hope won't face obstacles except 1st, that house demolition my astonishment over tens of houses in east jerusalem which is still not demolished still possible to demolish them to the police in the coming days to demolish those illegal houses and the issue of weapons. i want weapons on the street. i want a stick. he's a vase, we'll be able to defend themselves. let's try to correspond james base her is live for us in west jerusalem yesterday. the prime minister, lying these talk, new measures targeting family members of those involved in the shootings. you also talked about making guns more available for israel is what more can we expect from the team today? well, we know that in addition to the security cabinet meeting, which has made these decisions, specific decisions on security matters, there is the wider cabinet full cabinet which is meeting shortly. so that may have some follow up work from what has been decided by the security capitalist. i think

one of the problems the security cabinet face is that this is not the reason instance we've seen or not attacks carried out by members of any one group in the past. for example, hamas are carried out in attack. and you see these railways carry out a strike on whom ass in gaza. this is more difficult for them to respond to because these are sole attackers we think operating on their own. and that's why i think what we've seen from the security cabinet are measures that many in the international community will consider revenge tactics and collective punishment. for example, demolishing the homes of the suspects. well, the family homes where families live and there's no evidence so far that any of those families knew what was being planned, and yet they are going to be caught up in this collective punishment. we understand that family members, friends may be arrested as well. we also understand that they're likely to be stripped of that jerusalem id, 's,

meaning that they could no longer live in east jerusalem and will be expelled from the city where those families may have lived for very many years. the other tactics that, you know, the other measures that have been nouns by the security cabinet. well, one is to speed up the issue of gun licenses. that means more guns on the street already. he's ready piece encouraging is ready. citizens who have gun licenses to actually carry that weapons in public and that again, many fear, many international observers, fear is just going to lead to more violence when you've got people wandering, the streets fully armed. and the other aspect of this, which specifically in the statement from the security cabinet is in risk to celebrations palestinian celebrations. and there were some in response to the most recent attacks. and that is more settlement that they are going to, we think, and maybe the full cabinet will add to what we've heard from the security cabinet on this authorize. more building on palestinian land, just trash. that of course,

that on the numerous security council resolutions, which a binding international law is totally illegal, goes against all international communities of peace process. and it's plans for 2 state solution. because of course, the more land you build on palestinian land, the less likely is to be able to have an independent palestinian state. indeed, james, tomorrow the u. s. sex your stay, anthony lincoln arise. and israel could that end up having a d escalating effect on the recent tension? yes, i could bring can, will be making his way from washington dc, 1st to caro. will he be meeting with the objections? who clearly have some role in this? will that the discussions and car will mainly be linked to what's going on here? then he will be coming through the meeting with prime minister netanyahu meeting with other key members of the most right wing israeli government that we've ever

seen. and this is his 1st meeting here since that governments come into office and then he'll be heading at the end of his visit. we believe on tuesday to ramallah to see the pallet and you know, authority leadership will come and violence change the u. s. position. because the u. s. position really is not to get involved. it's to watch what's going on earth restraint, but not to actively involved themselves in any piece making. we saw certainly the trump administration was actively involved in, in what it said was piece, making the policy inside said that they were promoting a solution that was very much and israeli made a plan that really would not have left a viable palestinian state. well, since joe biden came into office, he's not pursued those trump plans, but he's not really doing much at all. and many other members of the international community would like to see much more international engagement. they'd like see more criticism of israel. what stopping that is the bike and administration,

which really doesn't want to get dragged into this complex. it's focusing its energy on other things, particularly the war in ukraine. will sec just a blinking coming. his seeing things for himself. will it change the biden, the, by the ministration position? let see, but i'm, i'm somewhat doubtful. ok now. thank you. james space that 1st and wester was lim, pain was rarely subtler to set on fire, palestinian families home uncall overnight on saturday. they broke into the house in the town of tour messiah, which is north of ramallah, before the setting of the lines. no one is reported to have been injured. in all the news police in the u. s. city of memphis have disbanded a special unit known as scorpion and happened after several officers beat unarmed black man, tara nichols, who later died from his injuries process have been held across the country. calling for police reform out there is gabriel. alexander reports now from memphis just

wanting to view, as you may find the images in his report disturbing. ah, the images of tyree nichols, a young black man being beaten to death by police a day after that video released, people in memphis still trying to grasp what they witnessed. one man told me he was shocked by the police violence. one police officer was holding, sorry. why the other one was swinging through like a look like like i said, a like a slave like a movie where he was punching through his face. and he turned around and he did it the other way. they just d b, a hailed and he's about to fall and they live in the back of the take more lives. in one part of the video, nichols is in pain. none of the police officers or paramedics appeared to provide help that left ron citizens angry. it was the constant beating and, and then you had the fire me in. that was as out there. you were supposed to hell.

he was lying to me. i was land that said for die for no one day at their job. you beat him to death. you beat that, that man, the innocent, young boy here in memphis. there are still some people that have yet to watch the video. but even for many of them, the beating death of tyrene nichols has left them deeply affected. i intend on watching it at some point, i think, but i did this past day or 2. i've been sort of bracing myself or it's unacceptable . i. i really, really hope that justice is and the people understand this sort of thing is not a free incident. it doesn't happen. rarely. this is america. at this point, we gotta do better. tyree nichols is now dead

and the residence of this city where it happened. now seeing his deck up close and asked why gabriel sancho al jazeera memphis. l franklin is the former executive director, law enforcement action partnership. he says, variations in the way police departments run in the us make them hard to regulate. we, the police are there for the community, were there for the needs of the community and the deactivation of the scorpion unit in memphis by g c, k davis. i think it's a good move because, you know, it demonstrates that she is in touch with the community and listening to those who are closest to the situation. and just because it's happening and masses. the elimination of this unit doesn't mean that it will happen in other parts of the country because in the united states here, every state is this. so different,

we have over 14000 police department, separate police departments across the country. and they're all very unique. they operate under different sets of standards. some are very general, especially when it comes to the use of force and the thing. but each state has its own regulatory body that establishes all the standards in which these police departments operate. after we've got a call to hear that has, that has been allowed to, to thrive well over a century in this, in this country here in the united states. and it's going to take a lot in the police reform, things like qualified immunity where police officers are pretty much immune financially from financial harm when they do these types of beads. and that's one of the things we're desperately trying to reform in this country is qualified immunity to this. he is holding a 2nd rounds of parliamentary elections. the 1st one in december. so few of the 9

the term of behavior. we are in geneva and entered the city and shoot and kill 9. but the thing is in one evening, i am afraid that her nose has tied. so it's between you know, you both. he has to decide which side the day. and i'm afraid that there is no responsible adults over there in his cabin, as he is in a cabinet that's consulting. and we need our before my benefit just a few days ago that we are headed to was another race like in may 21 which involved also is rarely arabs. and the only responsible can stop is if i 1st is the united states. but at the end of the day,

and this is your boss, and he has to take a decision and i don't envy it because it's own future. and the future of the country as simple as that protests against israel's foreign government have entered the 4th week. thousands of people have been demonstrating and televi against prime minister benjamin netanyahu proposals to reform the judicial system. the changes would limit the power of the supreme court and give more to the government. lebanon has been relying heavily on foreign aid and money from people and its diaspora to deal with this financial crisis. but that isn't enough to revive the economy and prevent the collapse of many institutions. and now the future of education is also on the threat saying to hold a report now from beverage. lebanon's economic crisis has devalued its currency and is hurting many in this once middle income country. among them public school

teachers who want better pay do not get to work. we need $4.00 a day. how teachers going to survive. education is being disrupted for a 4th year financial support from international agencies, like unicef has so far prevented the service from a total collapse. but there's only so much they can do with the international community unit that has been providing support to the entire education sector for many years. and we have intensified that support. i'm providing school books, providing funds for electricity for schools, school funds, parents, food fun. i'm trying to do our best to keep the schools open. we urgently call on the governments of lebanon to find the resources to be able to pay the teachers a livable wage. public education is not the only sector in crisis and dependent on support. the world health organization provides medicines and pays hospital bills

and staff at public health institutions. while the world food program feeds a 3rd of the countries, 6000000 people, the army to receive food donations and cash assistance for its soldiers. the list goes on, aid that came in to lebanon in 2022 is more than the state budgets. so if you just look alone at the aid, this came in through the u. n. program. it's around a $1000000000.00. that's the state budget for 2022. and this gives you an idea of how much we've become dependent on. and in fact, the lebanese economy is today, mainly dependent on 2 things. 8 and, and coming transfers from the day after the dependence is expected to increase as the political elite fails to address the financial crisis. since 11 on financial collapse in 2019 the international community change the way it has been dealing with those in power. here, it is no longer injecting money without conditions. and when it does, it channels,

funds through institutions, other than the states that sustain financial support is what lebanon needs to be able to respond to the needs of its people. but that means reforms to the way it is governed. and that means politicians losing authority and control over the state and society. and they're also, they route. i want to bring you some breaking news that's coming into us. the british prime minister, richie su, neck has fired his conservative party chairman the deem the holly. this is over his tax affairs and we've comes off to an independent investigation which is just completed into the hobbies tax affairs, which is found a serious breach of the ministerial code which you see not has been on the prussia in recent weeks over the issue as soon as we have more on this, we will indeed bring it to you. at least 40 people have been killed in south
