4:02 pm
ah, welcome to the news our 1300 hours gmc and we begin with the latest on the rising tensions between israelis and palestinians after 2 attacks and occupied territories is really forces have begun preparing palestinian homes for demolition. so the 1st one to be targeted was that belonging to a man blamed for an attack outside as synagogue on friday. i have been to the cabinet approved a series of steps yesterday to combat terrorism. on the one hand, we are increasing the deployment and activity of the security forces. and on the other hand, we are exacting a heavy price from terror perpetrators and they supporters this morning we sealed the home of the terrorist who carried out the horrendous attack and jerusalem. and his home will be demolished. we decided on the cancellation of social security rights of families who support terrorism and the government will discuss further steps, including the cancellation of identity cause and tripping residency of families of terrorists who support terrorism. we will soon decide on steps to strengthen the
4:03 pm
settlement into dia and samaria in order to convey a message to the terrorist and from that seek to approve us from our land. that we are here to stay. while 3 palestinians were detained on sunday and they occupied westbank and occupied east jerusalem palace thing in families, homes have been set on fire in these areas right there. settlers broken to a house and a ton of messiah that's north of, from a law on saturday night. and said, it alights, we have to correspondence following all the developments. bernard smith isn't it, i'm another from the occupied west bank across them in a moment. but 1st let's bring in james bass from west jerusalem. so james, the, the measures announced by the israeli government are not new, but what do we make of the fact that they have been publicly announced and we can see them now being fast tracked on the grounds. yeah. fast tracks, and i think the public announcement is for consumption of these really public to
4:04 pm
show that something is being done in the past when you have the israeli government taking measures often they've been dealing with an attack say for example, by a person who's part of a group say how mos and then it's followed with an attack on gulf, an attack on how much i think the problem they face here in the most recent attacks is that they were carried out by individuals operating on their own. and that means they've got to find some sort of way to respond and the ways that they found and you heard them that demolishing homes of family and friends of the suspects. taking the same family and friends and potentially arresting them or making sure that they can no longer live in east jerusalem revoking their position to live in east jerusalem. these sort of measures a measures that i think are likely to be condemned by the international community. because many, we'll see them as revenge tactics and collective punishment. we're also seeing the idea of more guns on the streets. they are going to fast track gun permit. and
4:05 pm
already these ready police are saying to israeli citizens only israelis. of course, if you've got a gun permit, then please carry a weapon in public. so in this very volatile environment, we're going to have more people carrying guns. and the other part of this is, and you heard it from israeli prime minister, is going to use this as an excuse for more settlement building. in fact, in the security can cabinet statement it specifically said in response to palestinians some palestinian, celebrating off to recent attacks. we're going to then have more settlement activity and it looks like they're going to authorize. we don't know the details yet for the building on palestinian land. and of course that creates a real problem to the international community because they keep talking about a piece process as a process. but it's not going anywhere at all. and a 2 state solution. well, the 2 state solution should mean that there's not and is ready state, but a palestinian state. and the problem in the last 20 years is where do you put
4:06 pm
a palestinian state? because these railways, with their settlements keep building on what is supposed to one day be a palestinian state. all right, thank you so much. and phase james is reporting for us from west, russo and let's cross over to him along the occupied west bank and bring in bernard smith. so bernard, how volatile is the situation in the occupied westbank, particularly after we saw at least one house, a palestinian house being set on fire by is really settlers will say with the same of the fact that james was talking about the rising tension in the west bank and there is an increase in subtler related violence now subtler howard month and a tax on palestinians. i've been going on for many, many, many, many years. but the problem is that recently they're becoming more violent in nature. why was it was perhaps graffiti was stone throwing well now the stone throwing is turned into setting cause on homes, on the fire and talking palestinians, when they're in the car. and what goes along with this is the fact was feel emboldened the cause of the impunity that they impunity there is when the car out
4:07 pm
these attacks shows that only 3 percent of alleged attacks by said was last year resulted in any sort of prosecution or about a $150.00 on last year on the palestinian authority is pretty much impotent in the face of these attacks is very little. it can do except rely on international condemnation. what is going on in the occupied palestinian charges itself? it can't act very much. it's all yes, we know the palestinians of withdrawal and security cooperation from israel. but often though only short lived and the only card of the palestinian parties have left to play against these re. all right, thank you so much. bernard smith reporting from the occupied west bank. so let's take a look at some of the is really government's most controversial members. there's a national security minister. it's a mar, been giver was convicted of inciting racism in 2007. and the law passed in december
4:08 pm
gave him unprecedented power over the police force. finance minister, bestsellers, small riches, the leader of the far right religious zionist party. its supports is really settlements and occupied palestinian territories despite them being illegal under international law. and former general you of gallons is israel's new defense minister. since entering politics in 2015, he served as minister for education, housing and immigration. and as a prominent supporter of settlements as well, you'll see. belen is a former is really minister of justice. he says that there is sadly no sincere efforts to find a peaceful resolution. i believe that he is there not very close that you are logically to these people are, but it is the him hallway decided to form a government a with such extreme a politicians. and he will have to wear it to try and they
4:09 pm
and prevent them from implementing gay been thinks what is happening right now a after the horrible events in the last 2 days is that they extreme right? a which she had always said that they why should they take steps to take steps and take steps when it is in power? you see the del stamps out there or their weapons ceiling and demolishing and building settlements. it is not the to morrow. the home policy will change because of where the decisions of the cabinet yesterday. but what is very, i would say interesting, but also expected is that there is nothing new and they one think is not. they're being dried seriously a, regretfully on both sides. and this is the efforts for peace, which is the only solution to the,
4:10 pm
our ongoing crazy situation. hunter moorehead on the al jazeera news, our, including this education in free fall in lebanon, white children and teachers are staying away from classrooms. plus, i'm gabriel's under in memphis, tennessee, where many people are still in shock after getting an up close look at a young black men being beaten to death by the hands of police. that story coming up. and the new women's australian open champion celebrates her victory, but also faces questions over her ban from wimbledon. that'll coming up a little later with joe. ah, but 1st the u. k. prime minister receives tonight has fired the conservative party chairman from the government. the move comes after an investigation into a dean's a how he's talks affairs found his seriously breached ministerial rules. when he
4:11 pm
was chancellor soon, i've ordered the prob, last week, after facing political pressure over the issue. let's get more on this from the beam baba, who's joining us from london. so talk us through what's happened and, and why is that how we have been sent? well, let's not forget, it was only on monday that the prime minister wishes to not cost. he's independent advisor on ministers affairs, laurie magnus, to investigate the dean's always tax affairs. and now on sunday morning here, the prime minister has written to the hallway, who's the chair of the conservative party, and also a member of government, a cabinet minister saying when i became prime minister last year, i pledged the government i lead would have integrity, professionalism, and accountability at every level, he goes on to conclude the following, the investigation finishing. it is clear that that has been a serious breach of the ministerial code. well, that investigation is
4:12 pm
a 4 page document the conclusions. and it specifies but the dean's or how we fail to declare that the tax, so face known as h m r c. were investigating his taxi's, a conflict of interest when he became shown sort of the exchequer, the finance minister last year. and also that he failed to declare that he paid a penalty to h m. c. when he entered the government, now that these are how we all along claim to insisted that were just careless mistakes, rather than any deliberate avoidance of telling the whole truth to the tax office that has been disputed by a string of press reports. here in the u. k and now the labor opposition party and others, it must be said are saying that richey c not should have sex nadine's hallway before now. so what is then the wider fall out of all of this for not only receives
4:13 pm
tonight, but the conservative party as well well, it's hard to predict, but it certainly suggests the whole issue of integrity and conflict of interest is going to continue to be a problem for richie soon, at 1st thing, we know, the scoundrel, if you like the allegations about a loan to prime minister bar is johnson in 2020 and the possible involvement cheryl? good. what is crow tucker? coke. right. richard shock. those allegations are still rumbling on that as an internal within the b, b, a. c. and outside rich and sharp denies ever arranging alone to the tune of over a $1000000.00 for boris johnson. just before he became chair of the b. b. c. johnson's appointment. he says, but he's simply trying to introduce a friend to the cabinet, to,
4:14 pm
to see what could be done in terms of this in terms of bar johnson needing alone. but he wasn't involved. but that's not really satisfying a lot of people here. then there is the deputy prime minister dominic rob, facing allegations of bullying and ongoing investigation. and just last year, when sue not to copy see was criticized reappointing. so at abraham and his home secretary days off the sheet breach, the ministerial codes for using a postal email to send confidential documents. possible to now not small questions about whether receive so you're not really is taking these you seriously enough. i don't know themes, a hallway, what he knew about his tax problems and when. okay, thank you so much. i think bob reporting from london a protest or has been killed in peru during confrontations between demonstrators and police that takes the number of those who died during the unrest of 58. since the former president pedro
4:15 pm
castillo was impeached and imprisoned early last month. roads in the south have been blocked by protest or is after mainly indigenous leaders called a national strike or latin america editor lucio newman reports from southern peru. this is the road to the poodle region of southern peru. humanitarian truce is supposed to be in place to allow food and fuel through along the 400 kilometer route from the andean city of co school. oh, the route has been blocked for nearly a month by indigenous communities. they tell us there outraged about the deaths of more than 50 protesters, almost all of them here in southern peru since president be number one. they took office in december, man on the back, did they not motivated them? we one told this to changing. we want to polarity out, we want the congress out. we women are going to fight to the very,
4:16 pm
by come on. i was never bruce, southern and in region is worlds apart from the capital or the north. this is home to poor, mostly indigenous farmers and miners who voted for peruse, now deposed, president federal castiel early pharisee that but his removal, they tell me is no longer which feeding a regional uprising, no federal scope at all. pharmaceuticals, they're dickerson natalie's peruse, rich and natural resources. but what good does it do us, we get no support from the government, from the sale of our minerals, and guess we're still as poor as of ancestors. that's why we're finally rising. our w. w. o, the traffic starts moving, but not for long. well, so much for the 24 hour to smith road is blocked to know was going forward or backwards. we're trying to get to the front to see if there's any chance to let us pass o marquee not, you know, not as symbol one or class is a terrorist. it being paid by drug traffickers, like the government, caesar, we are here out of conviction. eventually
4:17 pm
a few of us are allowed to pass, but only to the next road block. the people on this side aren't letting anybody pass, even though they really don't have that much to stop us. but it underscores the fact that there is no central leadership here. the closer we get to bruno, the bigger the road blocks people cart or drag their goods as best they can. but they don't complain. let this protest is taking place 24 hours a day. each community teachers blocking the road g m, put it in re jazel. oh, the protest is here. the news, the congress has just refused again to meet their demand for immediate national elections. a clear sign that like traffic on this road peruse, acute political conflict, is at a standstill. you see a newman al jazeera in the poodle region, peru, tennessee, or as holding a 2nd round of parliamentary elections. the 1st one in december,
4:18 pm
soft fewer than 11 percent of voters cast their ballots. the opposition boycotted that vote saying president high society had lost his legitimacy. that after he introduced a new constitution that expanded his powers without having to stand by for us and to know so from what you've seen, how has voter turnout when this time around? well let's say that is not only the opposition that is boycotting this election, but also tunisians themselves. we, we've been through several polling station around the capitol and this is what we see empty courtyards. i'm going to take, you come and see here, one of the classrooms turned into a voting room. nobody here does a trickle of voters who had come through the electra electoral a workers sitting really idly most of the day are they are several rooms here and it's exactly the same scene and that we have seen all over the city where
4:19 pm
ever are we, where now we spoke to people, we ask them, why aren't you taking part in this election? they say that the biggest problem for them is that they know none of the candid is, as you said, the political parties are not involved in this election. many people would tell you that that's what the president wants. so every candidate is presenting himself is an independent, unknown, mostly jew, his eventual constituency. our people also tell him that a much more interested denying what will happen with the economy. how is their life good to improve in the next coming months and year? that's what they want to hear from the president. and also some people say that the president is actually doing all this to take all the power for himself. they go back to july 2021, when he dissolved the parliament. and then there was
4:20 pm
a cause to change it constitutional amendment referendum last year, which gave him even more power. so people are saying that this is actually a parliament that won't be able to do anything with that cheap, anything. and when it's in place also will not look for the benefit of the people and that's why they're staying away from the vote. all right, thank you. so much for that, that honey's, reporting from tunis, lebanon is relying heavily on foreign aid and money from people, and it's just for us to deal with its financial crisis. but that isn't enough to revive the economy and to prevent the collapse of institutions. now the future of education is under threat. xena hood that reports from beirut, 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
4:21 pm
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 school funds, parent counseling fund. 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
4:22 pm
goes on, aid that came in to lebanon in 2022 is more than the state budget. so if you just look alone at the aid that 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. in fact, lebanese economy is today, mainly dependent on the 8th 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 i've been on financial collapse in 2009 team, the international community changed the way it has been dealing with those empower 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
4:23 pm
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 then they wrote, hiker women is the project director for iraq, syria, and lebanon at the international crisis group. he says, the situation in lebanon's education system and others is guaranteed to get worse. the teachers these days can't even get to get to school on the salaries that there is have 2 people put to pay for transportation. so me what we're seeing is the gradual. ready erosion falling apart, but he pretty much everything that, that relates to the public sector and if there's no change in the political leadership or in their way to run things that downward trajectory will continue. i
4:24 pm
mean, you just have to look over the border to syria where you have a country that is correct, ravaged by thing, but fighting has seized largely and it's still going down. so i mean, i think the bottom of that this is still way down by now everybody would like everybody does not have a dollar income this way or that way is a basically scraping to get along the world food program. as of late the publish the map and see the food. ready insecurity, which is a nice word for them and creating in from the margins toward the center it and eventually it will reach, reach the old school will be would as low as going to bed was sure. link us foreign minister and warning the time is running out for the international monetary fun to extend the loan to the crisis, hit country, an economic crisis last year, a spark mass protest and prompted the ben president, go to buy
4:25 pm
a roger pox to flee the country and the sabra toll talk to al jazeera. but if colombo doesn't receive the $2900000000.00 from the i am asked by march 31st. it will struggle to service its debts. to dig through that i might be in need of loans. you have had extend to a discussion, but the precondition but just re long term gum and need to take in terms of revenue collection and other reforms. they're happy for the progress i have achieved. but bilateral creditors, they shows now. so we should, the india had. ready already given the assurance as to restructure the debt parish clubs should come out of the states and be at the advanced level of discussion with china. or you can watch the full interview would be through lincoln foreign minister, audi sabri on talk to al jazeera on saturday, february 4th at 430100 hours. gmc police in the u. s. city
4:26 pm
of memphis has disbanded a special unit known as scorpion. so that happens after several officers be unarmed, blackman tyree nichols who later died of his injuries protest calling for police reform had been held across the country. i'll zeros gabrielle is on the reports from memphis. a warning viewers may find the images in this report, disturbing her. oh, 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 light? it looked like, like i said, a like a slave of a movie. but what he was punching through his face. and he turned around and he did it the other way. they just, he'd be hailed and he's about to fall and they live in
4:27 pm
a big to take more lives. in one part of the video, nichols is in pain. none of the police officers or paramedics appeared to provide hell that left ron sin. angry. it was the constant beating. and, and then you had the fire me and that was as out there. you was supposed to hell. he was lying to me. i was landed in for die for no one day at their job. you beat him to death. you beat that, that man that n as a 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 tyree nichols has left them deeply affected. i intend on watching it at some point, i think, but i did this past. there's who i've been sort of bracing myself or it's unacceptable. i really, really hope that justice is served and that who understands that this sort of
4:28 pm
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 in memphis. so let's take a closer look at that police unit in memphis, which has now been disbanded. scorpion stands for a street crimes operation to restore peace in our neighborhoods. the cities police chief created the specialize unit in 2021 to help fight raising crime. it was made up of 3 teams of about 30 officers who targeted ports of memphis that police had designated as high crime areas. following nichols his death, his family had demanded that the unit be disbanded. they've held its dissolution,
4:29 pm
calling to move a decent and just decision for all citizens of memphis. franklin is the former executive director at law enforcement action partnership. he says that variations in the way police departments are run makes them hard to regulate. we'd 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 t c. j 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,
4:30 pm
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 in the unit time for a check on the weather. has rob, that extreme cogs has gone from afghanistan. but the legacy of winter is very obvious, is more cloud around low afghans. on northern pakistan,
