[000:00:00;00] ah, wherever you go in the world, one airline goes to make it feel exceptional. katara always going places together. ah, al jazeera,

when ever you ah ha . anger and grief in the occupied west bank is funerals are held for 6 palestinians killed in israeli rates. ah, i'm cyril van. yeah, it's good to have you with us. this is al jazeera live from doha. also coming up here for pakistani prime minister, im ron con coles off his election rally after police arrest his supporters for defying a ban on public gatherings. he tells al 0, the government is targeting him. there's a serious threat to my life. and the reason is, i'd repeat that these people said again, balboa petrified, of losing the election,

which they will violence in the greek capitalist, thousands protests demanding a prime minister, resign after the nations worst rail disaster emission. good luck and have fun. the world's 1st reading printed rocket is set to blast off into space. ah, so hundreds of people have come out in the occupied west bank to mourn and protest after 6 palestinians were killed by israeli forces. a palestinian presidency spokesperson called the israeli rate, an all out war, but many palestinians calling on their leaders to do more to protect them. neither abraham reports the division between palestine. 2 political factions laid out in the streets of nablus on wednesday. ah, the palestinian authority security forces attacked mourners in the funeral procession of

a high math gunmen busted in official se some participants violated arrangements that were agreed before the funeral. but many here believes that palestinian authority does not want him asked to have a strong presence in the occupied westman mistress. and the judge not only is his railey army worried about the fight as uniting palestinians who have personal interests. so worried about the units in geneva being copied in other places. before he was killed gunman, i've been fatter who she was taking refuge in jeanene, a hub for the armed resistance to his rails occupation. here in jeanine, a different fixture. not only do palestinians fight side by side, but government provides support to one another even when they belong to different palestinian factions and come from different city fighters tele, just either the internal palestinian division only serves to benefit israel. beer

the put on him and of the leaderships far away for the palestinian struggle for a long time. the palestinian authority wants to curb the resistance. and we're against that. the as that amy is one of 6 palestinians as ready, forces killed during the day in june on tuesday. he was a member of the palestinian security forces before he took up arms and joined other fighters and jean jennifer walker in law colors. now is the time for us to take up, arms with young people have much more awareness. they say we have to resist and we can't stay silent against the israeli aggression what he thought for palestinians. it's been a cycle of grief, anger, and mourning. united in pain and now they say the fight. neither by him. elijah's eda, the occupied westbank, must affable gluteus the secretary general of the palestinian national initiative. he says the israeli radon, janine was

a big escalation. but not unusual. when janine was vicious and against the william houses during which they used to look up at that house. it's a very good condition. although it's not very new. use it. it had ok. the currently, the tanker ok again when there was somebody but the over the picture is vitamins not only by the i mean, but once they got a lot of that we have seen in water when 240 cars were banned by settlers and 40 houses will put on fire under the supervision and observation of the army and without the right stuff because

it is on except that the but if you effect unit, it will be and can buy and it makes more sense. it's a serious my addition of human rights. and so see that's an issue of that i was people to be to be about it. and i think if i manner like a stands for a prime minister him or on con, has criticize the federal government's decision to ban public gathering, which forced him to call off an election rally. there were confrontations between his supporters and the belief. the head of cons, planned election rally in the hor, one person was killed in the violence. dozens of his pakistan to rekey a party were arrested just hours before the events authorities imposed the ban and all demonstrations for a week in an exclusive interview. thousands, 0 and one comes said his life was under threat. earlier i spoke to him and i asked him for his reaction to the ban on rallies. or the supreme court asked the

president of by august than to fix an election date. that date was, is fixed for the 30th of april, so that which means 50 days left. so my body decided to an election open our election campaign by a rally in law hoard to day. the police had given us permission that approved the route of the of the, the rally. and suddenly this morning the permission was taken away. but not just taken away. we had these heavy contingents of belize and these a people coming to attend a peaceful rally. we're hit with a deer guest shows, we're water cannon with some chemical in it, which people are still recovering from. how do you interpret what you are describing as this, this government, back and forth on the rules about holding a rally. the issue is that the government, the all the 12 parties said a good government and their backers,

the petrified of elections. because so far in the last 8 months, out of the 37 by elections, my party has won 30 out of them. some might answer that while the government is perhaps afraid of the upcoming elections. you are also afraid of complying with judicial rules and police did show up at your house in the hor, only a few days ago to arrest you to compel you to show up in court and you evaded arrest in let me tell you something so far. there 76 cases against me. i am charged for dead arisen judge for blasphemy. judge for sedition ah, in these 77 cases, and these cases have been better in the last few months. so i have been going from one courtroom to the other. what happened was when i was shot, were this assassination attempt on me for 4 months of my leg wasn't, i had 3 bullets and my legs. i couldn't go out of my house. right. and just for our

viewers, i want to make clear that they deny that including the prime minister, who said he has nothing to do with the or with the shooting against you late last year. how do you see the rest of this year playing out for you with these 2 elections coming up? well, you know, the, the biggest concern right now for my political party is or to protect me because there's a severe that there's a serious threat to my life. and the reason is, i repeat that these people said again, power, petrified, of losing the elections, which there will, which is why they don't want elections. counter zeros come, our hider has been following the developments in lahore today. here's his report. all word before emron fond. the leader of the buggers gone dead against gov or do to get golf head campaign the 1st and the beginning of the election campaign which are due on the 3rd year of april. all access road still had rented and have been

blocked by shipping container. thousands of police and have been, are blocking all don't act that you all could have been coupled with it. party at the border, the police using a water cannon there also arm greg. good guy shares are going to be interesting to see what happens next. right now. the police voted on red alert. they have barricaded, separated road, which i've gotten also got to do with rob loan, bob, camille, good. and this is a country richard. linda made up a grave economic great. therefore it, it can least afford more political uncertainty. come on like that, i will go down the hall and tens of thousands of people are protesting across greece after the nations worse trained disaster. ah, police fired tear gas and flash bang grenades. that is for a large crowds in the capital acids, civil servants, doctors, teachers, and transport workers have walked off the job to show their anger what they say is

the crumbling state of the rail network. protesters of questioning why the government failed to pursue safety reforms. jumps or office has more we heard that this government has inherited a situation in which only 1818 percent of the railway network had been installed with also major safety systems that could have prevented the february 28th train collision. and during the tenure of the last 3 and a half years of this government, that percentage has risen to 7070 percent. and that they are trying to fulfill the contract by the end of the year that our expediting, the princess and the prime minister spoke personally with the chairman of al storm and france, which is providing this equipment to try and accelerate the delivery rate. but the fact is that all the voice of the accident,

the local systems enlarge the station where the train left the room, we're an operation and wouldn't was able to station most to see that the train had left the station northbound on the cell phone. so evidently that system wasn't being consulted and that raises questions about the extent to which railway personnel had been trained on the system and were heating the system. tragically, the larissa equipment was isolated because of network problems from the rest of the country. so nobody else could see what the station master could have seen. if he cared to see it. agencies savvy, humanitarian response, and northwest syria to february's to devastating earthquakes has been inadequate. they blame it on a lack of funding. santa horner reports is going to go eat time has done little to heal the wounds, the earthquakes that devastated war ravaged towns and cities and syria have robbed

it's people of what little they had left. the challenges ahead involve rebuilding what was destroyed. hundreds of thousands of people have been made homeless in both government and rebel held territories. while worsening. the displacement crisis and the opposition controlled, northwest and cliff with so me hung with people with choice to live in the area is what i see over to probably more media people on condition. the needs are great in the region where 4000000 people were dependent on aid before the natural disaster. but agencies say help has been slow and adequate. they blamed this partly on the lack of funding, without which the ability to respond will be limited. we cannot skate to the level of needs, mostly because we lack funding. and because also coordination structures

that we're responding to not received before being in turkey and most of them have been selected to earthly syria was already among the most underfunded humanitarian crises in the world. and so far less than half of the $400000000.00 requested by the un to deal with the immediate needs from the disaster has been funded. but it's not the only problem. a coordinated effort is needed in a largely isolated region which lacks the capacity and resources to face its latest catastrophe. all the while access to northwest syria depends on a political decision by the syrian government. biggest thing is predictable access . we saw the addition of 2 border crossings for you and 8. access was a good start. but the 3 month window that you know, they're operating off of is wholly insufficient, the skill to humanitarian response and to north west syria. furthermore, is the 2nd piece, which is that we need a principal not

a political response. an unconscionable failure is how some aid workers described the international response in syria so far for those who survived. the recovery from the aftermath of this disaster has yet to start setting, whether i should, you know, still ahead on al jazeera us republicans hold a special hearing on the origins of coven 19. we will be live from capitol hill on that end to race against time. in the philippines to contain the environmental damage of a large oil spill that is threatening coastal communities. ah, the stents in his life is now home to home, to sort of steer your families. if to some is a model for who has to find a way to provide for her children. her mother who lives in his law, he as well died, he do earthquakes. i don't know,

we went free is beyond that. in my 27 years of life, i've never seen something like this. one median of nearly 4000000 student refugees living in turkey, bought into probus, cause yon tap menu if those west cape, to serious even war has spent more than 4 years in refugee camps into some of them . little bit modest homes, but many are now back where they started, more than a decade listed with what has killed for this place. many serious millions of them fled to turkey and looking for safety. it wasn't easy to begin a new life. now though it could have taken what they built here in the year seems and they would have to start from scratch. informed opinion far right extreme is there is really and need to be tackled as soon as possible, frank assessments. there was a joke about the interim government that it's not interact with, nor does it go inside story. on al jazeera

lou with ah, come back, you're watching al jazeera reminder of our headlines. this. our hundreds of people have gathered in mourning and protests in the occupied west bank after 6 palestinians were killed in arrayed by israeli forces is really soldiers violently stormed the janine refugee camp on tuesday. supporters of pakistan's ousted prime minister amer, on con, have been arrested in the hor, just hours before cons election, rally police imposed the ban on all large gatherings leading to confrontations on person died in the violence name. ron con, has told al jazeera, his life is under threat. tens of thousands of people are protesting across greece, over the nations worse trained disaster, civil servants, doctors, teachers,

and transport workers of walked off the job to show their anger over the crumbling state of the rail. network, a special panel formed by us house republicans was wrapped up its 1st hearing into the origins of coven. 19 the select subcommittee on the corona virus pandemic will investigate where the virus came from. the 1st hearing comes just days before the 3rd anniversary of the world health organization, declaring corona virus, a global pandemic. that was back in 2020 more than 7000000 people worldwide have died of cove it hydro castro joins us live from washington, d. c. id. so this hearing has now wrapped up, what have we learned? well, we have learned of the list a circumstantial evidence that the virus may have come from a lab, but no smoking gun. and we have learned a bullet. so circumstantial evidence that the virus came from nature jumping to

humans and yet no smoking gun. that leaves us still with these 2 varying theories that are competing with each other. and this hearing has not changed that or moved are in understanding any further. now, the intelligence agencies and the u. s. r e also split on this question, the u. s. energy department, as well as the f b i saying that they have low to moderate confidence that the virus came from a lab and will hon. china, while the of for other u. s. intelligence agencies and the u. s. intelligence counsels saying that they believe with low confidence of a virus came from nature. now what the consensus is from all the witnesses we heard from today from the intelligence department, is that to get to the true answer to solve this mystery, those would have to come from china and they're ivan, plenty of issues trying to get access and transparency out of the chinese government i do what is the investigation? i mean going forward,

what kind of evidence are they going to be able to look at to perhaps point the needle one way or another? right. so as they follow these to pass into the varying theories, in order to find that hard evidence that this came from animals, for instance, when investigators say they need would be to find an animal that is carrying the viral g. no, they may have passed to humans, or the chinese government says that it is already looked at more than 100000 animals samples in and around who hon. and have not found that genome anywhere. and just as frustrating in order to prove that this came from a lab, there would need to be a viral precursor in development. now there has been less transparency coming out of this lab, though that's been denied by the chinese government, but there is no evidence thus far revealed of a viral pre cursor and the ball. however, there is some circumstantial evidence that this lab was engaged in. corona,

virus research and that in years previous to the pandemic, they were particularly infecting humanized mice cells with these corona viruses. so again, what this all is, is a bunch of circumstantial evidence as seems to weigh the balance in both way. the scale both of these competing theories and we heard directly from the former director, the u. s. centers for disease and control, robert redfield who said he doesn't think the scientific community will ever come up with the answer, but perhaps the intelligence community will if there are answers to be uncovered. well, as you said, no smoking guns revealed on the on day one, a lot of circumstantial evidence, but will be fascinating to see what they do come up with over time. idaho castro, in washington, dc. thank you very much. they've been, you accusations about the possible involvement of a pro ukrainian group in the attack on russia, north stream gas pipelines last year, german media, se western investigators believe

a 6 person team launched from germany planted the explosives. hurry faucet reports the gas leak ended months ago. but the answers as to who carried out the attacks on an odd stream pipelines may at last be surfacing reports in the u. s. and now the german media suggest an anti russian government group based in ukraine. was responsible. according to the german reporting, 6 people all carrying forged passports, boarded a rented yard at the german port of rostock, on the 6th of september. last year the yacht sailed up the coast to the town of v come das. and on the tiny danish island of christiane, so close to the explosions that hit the pipelines on the 27th of september, almost immediately, western nations suggested russia might have sabotaged its own pipelines to create further chaos in europe's energy markets. russia accused the united states of being behind it to remove russian economic leverage over germany. a theory endorsed last month in a report by the investigative journalist, seymour hersh. now these revelations, becoming

a major topic of discussion at wednesdays, european union defense ministers, summit in sweden, there are ongoing national investigations and i think it's right to wait until those are finalized before we sent him more about who was behind. that has been the line from western nation since the attack last september. some now suggest it was a deliberate one to shield keith as it sought more weaponry from germany, the country from where without its knowledge, the attack was reportedly launched. kennedy released to what he does or shall i know the reports about this investigation. i read thought with great interest, and we have to distinguish clearly yes, whether it was a ukrainian group. so it could have been on ukrainian behalf or a pro ukrainian one without the knowledge of the government. but i caution against jumping to conclusions. the story is also said it could have been a russian full slag operation. ukraine continues to deny involvement. for me, it's a little bit strange story because it's not,

it's the story of the nothing with us. and i think the investigation of official authorities will describe every detail because it's like a complement for our special forces. but this is not our activity. if this attack can be proven to have been the work of a pro ukrainian group even if not ukrainian state, that could still prove tricky for a german government needing to bolster falling public support for military backing of ukraine. these latest leagues, it emerged well after germany pledged advanced air defense and tanks to cave. hurry, full sit al jazeera. more than a week after a tanker sank off the island of mon door. in the philippines, volunteers and the coast guard are struggling to contain an oil spill, and threatening not only marine life, but the livelihoods of people in the area are going to be low reports from manila, for generations. the people of the island below in the central philippines have lived off the waters around them. but the tanker,
