one out there, but it hasn't been done before. can be done even better. as long as a human being is doing it. you can do it, no matter how you possibly it looks. it's you to put in the effort to put in the lock. and you also have to be patient with me. i am the captain. nice items need a so continue can and more so at this distance which we knew i. so the team in eastern central africa, we as a, i francois guessing pretty well. we had wanted to play in some international games . then when we came in, the i think was closed. and it's the only i think in the country for more bodies are pulled from the rubble of a mosque in pakistan that came under attack him, his shower at least 93 people are dead.
12:01 pm
aah! who wants to notice your life from a headquarters in south? i'm danny. navigate also a heads tension and occupied east jerusalem as palestinians observe. a stripe to protest against is really plans to demolish homes will have a live updates. 3 emergency responders are fired in memphis for not providing medical aid to tyrene nichols, the black man who died at the hands of police and not so gloomy the international monetary fund raises its global economic outlook for the 1st time in a year. ah, hello pakistan as morning, the death of at least 93 people killed in a suicide attack at a mosque in a highly fortified security compounds and per shower. debris is being cleared as most parts of the mosque have collapsed. rescue teams have been retrieving bodies
12:02 pm
from the rubble. it happens when a suicide bomber blew himself up during afternoon prayers. the to headachy taliban pakistan denied its involvement after initially claiming the attack that had targeted police officers a day after meeting the is really leadership. the u. s secretary of state antony blank canvas whole talks with the palestinian authority president and prime minister on monday, blinking held talks would be, is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu. the top us diplomat has urged israel and palestine to deescalate tensions violent surge between the 2 sides and the run up to blink ins arrival. or a diplomatic editor, james bass has more arriving at televi. therefore, the u. s. secretary of state is visiting at a time of high tension, but with few expectations. u. s. diplomacy can do anything to help. he spoke about
12:03 pm
recent violence. taken innocent life and inactive terrorism is always a heinous crime. but to target people outside their place of worship is especially shocking. a reference the death of 7 israelis near a synagogue at an east jerusalem settlement on thursday. it's notable he spoke about incidence in which his riley's died, but didn't mention the raid jeanine refugee camp last thursday. a day on which 10 palestinians were killed. before secretary blinkin got here, there was another death, a palestinian man shot dead by israeli forces as he drove his car in the city of hebron. mister blinkin has met benjamin netanyahu many times before, but this is the 1st meeting since he became head of israel's most right wing government. ever. the secretary of state said there must be a future where israelis and palestinians can live peacefully side by side. we
12:04 pm
continue to believe that the best way to achieve it is through preserving and then realizing the vision of 2 states. as i said, of the prime minister. anything that moves us away from that vision is in our judgment detrimental to israel's long term security. and it's long term identity as a jewish and democratic state. but the reality is that mister netanyahu in his key ministers don't support the idea of a 2 state solution. he didn't mention palestinians once, and instead focused on the threat from iran, most of the international community have seen the true face of iran. they've seen the barbarism of this regime against its own people. they've seen how it exports aggression. beyond its border and beyond the middle east. and i think there is a common consensus that this regime must not acquire nuclear weapons. let's bring in our diplomatic editor, james basie, joining us from lester is la, so on the diplomatic front. what do we expect to happen today, james?
12:05 pm
well, we've already had meetings, further meetings with secretary blinkin and israeli officials of collaborative. the 2nd is the secretary of defense of israel. they have been meeting. there's also been a meeting with yeah, the p, the former prime minister of israel with the government officials. of course, as you just heard, the secretary blinking is repeating the international community. his line, the line for decades has been the central platform of the policies over the world towards this conflict. and that's, that needs to be a 2 state solution. you're not hearing those words coming from any of the cabinet members or from mister netanyahu. and that's because some of those cabinet members have been really front about it. they don't believe in a 2 state solution. so although you see these meetings and handshakes and friendly chat between the us officials and these railey officials, actually on the fundamental point concerning israel and the palestinians,
12:06 pm
there is disagreement. they do not agree with the international communities, main policy, and the policies as directed it international law by the un security council. what's happening now is secretary blinking is leaving right now as we speak jerusalem, he's on his way to ramallah. he's going 1st to a village outside ramallah. we understand he's having a meeting with palestinian civil society. and then in about an hour's time, he's going to be meeting with mahmoud abbas the palestinian president to discuss where things go from here. but i think we already know the answer, the question of what is the us government's position now off the recent recent tension and the recent violence? has it changed? no, it has not. president biden has made it clear since he took office in january 2021 . really doesn't want to get bogged down in this dispute. he has seen previous administrations spend a lot of time, a lot of that effort on foreign policy and called in trying to have direct
12:07 pm
negotiations between israel and palestine. and he believes that is not the time is not right for that. and basically they are trying to not directly involved themselves in that sort of thing. even though many other members of the international community do want to see more proactive us diplomacy going forward. but secretary, blinking already, i think very clear from his public comments. the u. s. policy will continue as it has done so far throughout the by the administration. james base. thank you so much . we'll cross over to occupied east jerusalem job and ma caberry, specifically. there are suicides are. he's joining us from their resume. people are protesting against plans to demolish some homes. tell us what you're seeing. well, early in the morning, people in general to gather and they are blocking the roads by they've got to be trucks and setting fires on the tire. that's one of them is just behind the burning
12:08 pm
and they're trying to prevent these rally fully border police and also the valley, bulldozers and city in the region because the people here said that these rarely cabinet made some draconian measures that some of them are constituting the collective punishment, these regulatory thieves have called them and asked them to be ready for the militia of their houses. so yesterday the local moms here made announcements through the most and asked people to join a general strike to prevent this demolition. so yes, so they a house and garage owned by a senior was demolished here, and that's why after these announcements and particularly the court from the values of these people started who gather here and they're trying to block the road with the ross with a talk garbage and setting fire on the, on the tire. so here in the last 4 we in the last 4 weeks at least 4 houses have
12:09 pm
been demolished. and in the morning to day in the morning that has the confrontation between the israeli voter police and the local policy residents here . and at least 15 palestinians have been endured here. so particularly of the decisions that have been made by the israeli security cabinets. now the process of the more houses here, we can see that is being escalated and the tension is really going to hop. and there's a very much time smooth amount among the palestinians here in jamaica. because anytime their houses will be sealed off and demolished. and so here, by the way jim mckay is taking place at the sole source. jerry said it's quite that tiny pack really is a poor area. busy of jerusalem, and there are at least $30000.00 palestinians leaving here. so they are very much concerned that the next how demolish might be belonging to one of them. thank you
12:10 pm
so much for far. as i reported from job mach, i bet an occupied east jerusalem. 3 emergency medical responders have been fired in the u. s. city of memphis following the death of an unarmed black man at the hands of police. so they've been accused of failing to conduct a proper medical assessment and adequate patient care to tie re, nichols 5 officers have already been dismissed for beating him during a traffic stop. the 29 year old died 3 days later off his injuries. gabriel alexander has more from memphis under warning. you may find some of the images in his report disturbing. well, yeah, this investigation is very much continuing here in memphis. officials say that they are still the early stages of it and more charges could be pressed against officials or people that were involved in this, in terms of these 3 new people that have been fired. they were part of the fire department and 2 of the 3 were emergency medical technicians or paramedics and
12:11 pm
the other was an ambulance, or fire truck driver that was with them. they were fired according to officials here because it's part of the investigation. they were some of the 1st responders that arrived at the scene after tyree nichols laid on the ground helpless after he had been beaten for several minutes by those 5 police officers, all of whom have been fired and are now facing criminal charges. the fire department says they were fired because they did not render aid quick enough to tyree nichols as he laid their essentially fighting for his life. not only that, but the police department as well, has said another officer involved, other than the 5 that have been fired, has been placed on administrative leave. wow. this investigation continues. this
12:12 pm
particular officer was one of the 1st that pulled over tyree nichols in what they initially said was a traffic stop that led to him, fleeing from the scene after being beaten there, and then beat and later at another scene. so this is very much a wide ranging investigation, and the officials here that are investigator are casting their net wide and far to figure out who all was involved and how they will be punished. peruse, congress has found a debate to move forward elections. it's now scheduled for tuesday last week. parliament rejected a similar motion to have the cold of sir president. annabella martin has more politicians if they don't approve the change, she'll push for constitutional reforms to force early elections. there have been anti government protest since december, when the former president hedrick castillo was impeached and arrested. the

a policy of not selling weapons. the countries that are at war, rob mcbride has more from so the global search for $155.00 millimeter shells for ukraine's guns has now turned to south korea. which doesn't want to antagonize russia because of its influence over north korea. right now ukraine is getting through about $90000.00 shells per month. that's double the rate which that being produced by both the us and europe combined. the u. s. has reserved here, and it's buying more than 100000 shells from south korea to replenish stocks, being sent to ukraine. that way soul can help its western allies without contributing directly to the war efforts. let's bring an underline cove, who is a professor at cook many university on director of n k news. that's an online new source focus on north korea. he's joining us from so welcome to al jazeera. so will the us defense secretary lloyd often get what he
12:24 pm
wants? i would see not necessarily a song, because there are serious a kind of arguments for and against making such a g. i feel the fall generally so steady in public is suffered. you, for few cri like in most democratic countries, but as he still see ukrainian war as a distant conflict, where they have gnostics. and at the same time, there are 2 reasons not to get in trouble with russia. first of all, russia is a significant threat partner for south getty. and so as guardian for foreign policy is highly pragmatically, sometimes up to the point of being cynical, they're quite willing to trade with whoever is going to pay money. and to russia is a significant threat, but by the good is more important is nor scotty. historically,
12:25 pm
relations between last grady and russia, well have sometimes been difficult, but a very often they go allies, formal or informal, even formal, and eve herb sos grady. it starts singing shells are to heal russian soldiers in ukraine. a van would not be surprised if russia start setting something. oh, to na, scary. a beach might kill south guardians raised, but ever thank you. it is only that pharmacy secretary gives assurances to south korea and washington's commitment. for example, when it comes to the north korea, nuclear threats. surely, that is what south korea would be looking for as a nonce. they are ready for upset your shore and says, evans, all that are some people in cells, katy who say so probably assurances are good about sell. scotty and nuclear weapons to be developed is better. and so they are ready separate. but at any rate, they want to have good relations as united states of cells. katie is very pro
12:26 pm
american county, and especially as the current govern saw eve, the races, serious pressure from the united states may be just maybe stadium government. if you basically do what americans want each to do, it's possible because once again, no matter how important russian market no matter how much the worry about most get here. yes, a right now relation is the united states come shift. so if pressure is really high, 40 watts ideally high is he might make confession. but something tells me, is that most likely, cells, katie, of gal. i mean, you find ways, iraq, right? but behind the scenes behind the scenes, to what extent do you think that the americans are, are pressuring south korea? i don't know. i think they're pretty beat, but i don't expect them to press heart. and this is why i sort of mildly inclined
12:27 pm
to believe that cells getty, and then the unusual view more difficult to be used in your grade. i'm not sure, of course, as i have said, that argument was against the view and for the interview, but well, so scary and have always been in writing a sheet in order not to do something. they don't really want to do. all right, thank you so much, andrea. thank you for speaking to us from. so there are warnings of another storm in new zealand largest city author record down pour over the last 4 days. people in auckland are cleaning up after flash floods and lance lives that were triggered by heavy rain. for people have died up to 200 structures, including homes and businesses have been damaged. prime minister christ hipkins blamed climate change. a state of emergency is now in place and auckland's climate change is real. it's with us having an impact on now we have, we are seeing more of these extreme wither events. we're going to have to deal with
