a lot of tension, not only along that border this afternoon, but earlier in the day, at the extra must compound and also how long the guy's a border may be we will hear after that meeting what a new statement from the government, but this is the 1st time the prime minister conveniences security cabinets in february, diplomats of the un security council. the being briefed on developments in the region are diplomatic. it's james base has the latest just through that door, you maybe see the sign restricted area authorized personnel only only members of the security council can go through that door to the consultations room where the meeting is taking place. they are being briefed by the us special coordinator for the middle east tool when a student who is briefing them from a way where you just heard my colleagues speaking from east jerusalem about the current situation on the ground. obviously when their bosses came in here,

we spoke to them, we spoke to as many as possible about the situation. and 2 of those i think were important comments. because the 2 countries that have some influence on the situation, one is the united states. we spoke to the deputy and master robert wood, who is attending that meeting that's going on right now. and the other one is the united arab emirates, a country that more recently has diplomatic relations with israel diplomatic context with israel and is the current current member of the security council from the arab league. we spoke to. busy bassett, lana new, say, bob, this is what the 2 of them said to me. it's an issue calling for attention to be reduced. and the reason we don't wanna intention to get exacerbate because the region of course, this is very sensitive time years. so it's going to be important for everyone to do what they can to confidential. he's extremely concerned by the escalation and final

territories. extremely concerned that this was happening in a very poorly months for all 3 or how many religions for muslims, for christians, and for the jewish people as well. we call on all sides the cool and all sides to restrain themselves. go back to dialogue. but really, the sanctity of alexa must must be protected. and the rule, the custodianship of the hashemite kingdom of jordan must be upheld. so that is our position. the status quo must not be changed in jerusalem. and the u. e called for this close consultation along with china because we were worried about the development. while as this is a close consultations of the security council, there are only the 15 security council members attending. no one else gets to hear what's going on inside that meeting. even those that are involved in this situation, the palestinians and the israelis are not invited in to a close session. the washington has called for calm after the violence said alex a mosque and says it is maintaining regular contact with israel. and with the

palestinian authority. we are concerned by the scenes out of jerusalem, and it is our viewpoint that it is absolutely vital that the thing to be of holy sites be preserved. we emphasize the importance of upholding the historic status quo at the holy sites in jerusalem. and any unilateral action that jeopardizes and status quo to us is not acceptable. and we call for restraint coordination and come during the holiday season. rosalyn jordan joins us now from the state department robin to help us. just parse those words, help the untrained ear understand what that all meant because that statement reads is pretty non committal to the layman. well, there's been no official confirmation of conversations between the u. s. government and the israeli government, or with the palestinian authority leadership. and so a comment that might be perceived as non committal is of frankly,

a reflection of the actual law situation here in washington, are officials paying close attention? yes, they are, but are, is this a matter of love, the usaa getting ahead of our conversations, diplomatic conversations and making a pronouncements that are declarative? no, it's not. that is not how the u. s. government, whether it is a democratic administration or republican administration, will behave of what we did here for him of the dot hotel. the department spokesperson is that while the u. s. does believe firmly believes that israel has a right to protect itself from attacks of whether from the gaza strip or from in, in the case in the last 24 hours from lebanese territory. it also is very much concerned about any a possible escalation that could imperil the possible establishment of 2 states, one palestinian one israeli existing under a firm treaty agreement. so this is

a matter where they biden administration is simply moving very carefully given that development on the ground. keep changing it seems by the hour, rawson jordan, reporting from the state department there. thank you very much. a french president, him and, and mccoy, the urging chinese leaders shooting pain to reason with russia to help and the war in ukraine. even meeting in beijing to discuss the conflict mccoy's on a 3 day state visit there, along with european commission president for sue of underlying robin bright reports, french president emanuel macros being given, the owner of a state visit. welcome by his chinese counterpart, she's in pain. one of your most influential leaders coming to ask china to exert its influence on russia to bring an end to europe, worst conflict since world war 2. just to show who will keep you. i know that i can

count on you to bring russia to reason and every one to the negotiating table. this was she jane paying visiting russian president vladimir putin last month since moscow's invasion. more than a year ago. jane had stayed neutral and proposed a roadmap for sci fi and peace talks. most west and leaders, including macro, have criticize the plan. but the french president has been one of the more conciliatory voices among nato heads of state. 2 weeks before russia's invasion, he met president vladimir putin in the kremlin, under spoken to him several times by phone over the past year. many and now watching to see if macaroni and she together can provide a breakthrough, where others have failed. come on kinship channels, china insists on a peaceful resolution and as willing to work with front to maintain the rationality of the international community and avoid actions that could further escalate the

crisis or let things get out of control. in a show of european unity, macro is accompanied by european commission president ursula on de leon who has taken a much tougher line on china's failure to condemn the russian invasion. the europeans are looking at the very least to dissuade china from supplying russia with arms. we also count on china not to provide any military equipment directly or indirectly to russia, because we all know arming the aggressor would be against international law. and it would significantly harm our relationship, the signing of lucrative prey deals on this trip is seen as beijing's attempt to maintain good european relations, even as ties with the us sour. i hope china will tell president macro on the one hand and then toe. madam of on the they on the other hand that it is

absolutely impulse want to have a european perspective which may or may not be exactly identical to that of the united states. chinese and european leaders. hoping traditionally strong crate links can lead to a diplomatic breakthrough. robert pride al jazeera, while the kremlin says, china has strong potential as a mediator, but it sees no prospects for peace in ukraine. in fact, presidential spokesman dmitri pest golf said that the situation in ukraine is too complex for now, and requires russia to continue its military campaign. china is also playing a bigger role elsewhere on the geopolitical stage. saudi arabia and iran have agreed to resume flights between the 2 countries and facilitate visa to citizens as part of a chinese mediated deal. this follows talks between saudi and iranian foreign ministers in beijing. the 1st such meeting and 7 years to her on in riyadh are now working to reactivate trade deals and reopen embassies. hundreds of thousands of

people are rallying across france for another day of strikes and mass protests against pension reform. there have been confrontations between processes and police and paris. it's all comes out. the talks between the prime minister and labor unions failed to break a stalemate. it's sasha butler has more from paris. we've seen in recent weeks is more violence and more anger. these protests ever since the french government bypass parliament pushed the pension reform through by decree. a lot of people saying that's unfair and on democratic. but i have to say the violence that we all think is carried out by a minority of protesters and trouble makers who often infiltrate diesel to protest in order to damage property on target police. a short while ago, we actually saw a bank very close by the fire to buy some processes. might even be able to see

smoke quite high and quite picking the air. that's because they're also been some property the on fire down there as well. sort of thing we've been saying in recent weeks, but what rights groups are saying is that the french police off fueling the tensions and the situation because they are using excessive force against some of the protesters. right group say that instead of targeting the troublemakers, what the french police often do is indiscriminately target all the protest as many of whom are here just to walk. basically, it's really hard to predict where it is going to go. you have 2 sides that are very firmly entrenched their positions just on wednesday. francis main trade union leaders met with the french prime minister elizabeth born. it was their initiative to call this meeting to discuss the situation to find a way out of the deadlock. but that meeting lasted less than an hour. trade union leaders say the, what they want is the french government to scrap this pension reform. but they believe is unfair. that makes people work longer. but the french government have

made it very clear that they have no intention of doing that. natasha butler reporting there are still ahead on al jazeera. we will tell you why the british government is planning to house hundreds of asylum seekers on a barge. have you wondered why eggs have gotten so expensive lately? i'm kristen salumi, looking for the answer to that question. lancaster county, pennsylvania. ah, it's a $1000000000.00 money, no drink operation. the coal, marcia is bigger than the company with financial institutions, regulators and governments complicit. and what is this? is that right? i've described that in a 4 part series. al jazeera investigative unit goes under cover in southern africa, pittsburgh. we can fill 90 percent. it doesn't. once it's the falling, it's perfectly brand new. good. pop 3 on anxious era in me and monroe him gives

accommodate about $500.00 men. human rights group say it is quote, cruel and inadequate. the government says living conditions will be quote, basic and functional all brennan reports on this from london. this is the latest in a long line of british government proposals to try to get on top of the backlog and the cost associated with that backlog of asylum seekers arriving on these shores. we've heard, for example, of trying to house asylum seekers in full spaces in out of season holiday camps. now this idea of a bond which will hold $500.00 people. well, the barges currently in italy as we understand it. and when you ask the government exactly when it might arrive here, some months away is the answer. nevertheless, the prime minister receives soon on a campaign visit in the middle of the k. today. the said something had to be done to provide value for money for the british tax pay. we have a situation,

we are collectively spending 6000000 pounds a day on hotels for illegal us on. and because that can't be right. like said that i would do everything i could to stop that and reduce the pressure on all community from as long as they could, being in hotels. and that's what we're doing. we're bringing for what alternative sites can be the barge that we've announced today that will save us money and indeed reduce pressure on hotels, all part of all plan to stop the boat. we're also putting through parliament a new law, which will show that if you are right here illegally, you will not have the ability to say we will be able to detain you and then swiftly remove you to your own country. if a safe or a 3rd alternative country alternative like rwanda. i'm all given that the government is trying to save the taxpayer. money has been staving li. visser rated by the opposition party is a labor party. it's the the kiss sama saying today. the answer isn't more expense for the tax, but it's stopped the boats on process the claims. just one percent of those who

arrived by small bows last year he said actually have had the asylum plays process . it's the backlog. that is causing the problems. and the fun, i'm sorry, i missed the international also reacted saying that confining hundreds of people in isolate was just more of the political fear that this government has created to obscure its gross mismanagement of the asylum's system. not the reality is that it's not a done deal. the local people, the local and p where this barge would be situated is threatening the prospect of legal action to stop it. being more where the government wants to more it's, this is not by any means a done deal, pull, brennan, i'll just iraq. london. the u. s. is currently dealing with the deadliest bird flew outbreak and its history. more than 58000000 farmed birds have died or been cold to prevent the spread, the virus is contributed to rising egg and poultry prices. kristen salumi,

reports from lancaster, county, and pennsylvania. chickens are more plentiful than people in lancaster county, pennsylvania, but a severe strain of avian flu is taking a toll on the poultry population here and around the country. and restrictions meant to prevent the spread of the virus are taking away a source of income for farmers like jeffrey mitchell. so how long has it been since we've had chickens here? it was january 27th. when the last of them left, he sells his birds for meat. his 4 chicken houses are currently empty. well, i've never had the disease on my farm that i know about. so, you know, they're being being kept away from me for safety reasons. i'm because of the diseases in the area. it's in the quarantine area as a mine, avian flu, along with inflation help drive up the price of eggs as much as 70 percent last year in the united states, the world's largest producer and 2nd largest exporter of poultry. the virus is

carried in the droppings of migratory birds. this latest variant has not only spread like wildfire among poultry. it's also been found in mammals as well. raising the specter of a human outbreak, a drop of manure about the size of my finger nail. for example, would be enough to infect a flock very easily of scientists at penn state university are working to educate backyard chicken owners, as well as farmers to reduce the spread. humans should not be worried simply because only 2 percent of our population is actively working in agriculture. and so the majority of our, our public are consumers of our poultry and eggs. and those are safe because they're inspected before they're put out into the super markets. i think for us, the worst case scenario is seeing this continue to spread which the states governor has also set aside $25000000.00 from next year's budget to compensate farmers. another 6000000 for testing. but as this latest strain of avian flu,

no signs of abating. some of the industry say vaccinating chicken should also be on the table since 2015 a number of different outbreaks of billions of dollars spent on indemnification. 100000000 birds put down. it deserves serious consideration at this point in time. they say more needs to be done to keep this vital food supply safe. kristen salumi al jazeera lancaster, pennsylvania to ne uganda where people are struggling to access treatment for eye diseases such as cataract and coma. well, al jazeera heard from the 1st and only i doctor in the count mosier region, she's made it her mission to treat thousands of patients there. here's her story in her own words. oh, doctor, glad ears at her l. and, and doctor, looking in low take no, for a hospital in nathaniel, again, this community is purely pastoralists. community then move from place to place.
