another seriously injured in a shooting is really army says the attack has targeted a vehicle and then illegal settlement in the jordan valley. so all 3 victims were women was seen also that attacking the jordan valley is really settlers gathered a different checkpoints across the occupied west bank palestinians. say they are reports of attacks on some vehicles that's going to correspond that the me who is live for us in occupied east jerusalem. well the, let's start with these israeli women who've been killed. what more can you tell us? well, from what we understand, the incident happened ended jordan valley. these 3 women were driving when they came on the gunfire. the car stood, one of the driver of the cars would have lost control and you have images of that car crashed into the side of the road. or we understand from health officials that

2 of these women have ad died. and one of them is in a critical conditions. now we can still days a manhunt as to who is behind that, the israeli police searching now sealing of areas. that is usually the pattern of what happens really when such incidents happen in this part of the world. you know, this is happening because of d. a was should have rise intentions following what happened earlier this week in the axa must compound when the israeli police should have went into the mosque and brutally asked to worshippers or attack to worship as we're stun grenades and other means and a made them leave. demoss, so what happens inside that compound usually is not limited to the walls of the compound and spills around the occupied at west bank. and you have these load

wolf's attacks. people who are angered from what they see from the images they see from how they perceive the oppression by israeli police specially during the month of ramadan. and that is a pattern that has happened in the past as something these railey authorities, no very well off, but very difficult for them to control. because by and large, if we look at the past at tax, well it's always been people, palestinians who took it upon themselves, were angered from what they see angered of living under occupation and who carry out these attacks in the kind of a desperate move. indeed, oh and you often have, you could say the same for the other side. i mean, now we're hearing these reports of settlers attacking palestinians in the occupied west bank at what more can you tell us about that?

well we know that at least one car, distant pilot, driven by palestinians, has come under attack by a settlers. we also know that settlers have been gatherings of different checkpoints around the occupied west bank, but i have to just put it into context bits settler attacks on palestinians has become a daily occurrence. oh, they've been $260.00 since the beginning of the year. and best according to do you and offers for humanitarian affairs. oh, that deals with palestinian issues. that report says that they're on average 3 settler attacks per day, either on palestinian property or on palestinian a themselves. so and that number of attack has actually been on the rise. that same report says that the settler attacks were on average one per day in 2021. and then 2 per day in 2022. and now this year, so far it's been

a 3 per day. thank you for that update. hold on the line of though hamid joining us there from occupied east jerusalem. all of this comes at a time of heightened tensions in the occupied east jerusalem. 6 ah, the 3rd straight day israel used both early friday morning against palestinian worshippers making their way to all acts and mosque. islam spurred wholly site. soon after hundreds of people gathered in the compound to protest against israel's actions are still setter, has the support from occupied east jerusalem. this is the damascus gate of the old city that leads to al oxer compound. early in the morning, people started to come here, towns of thousands of palestinians performing the fry, the prayer,

the 1st friday prayer after the violence broke out in a lock saw compound of the israeli security forces stormed into the mosque and have arrested around $400.00 palestinians nothing above the goodness mother, but there is lots of pressure here. it's very difficult. hard to get here. the crowd was huge, but they didn't let everyone in. but for the majority of them coming to alex moore's could to day was not easy because his read secluded, the forces has set up hands of the checkpoints across the city. and every one coming to alexa compound to perform the friday pre needed to go to do that check points. and the palestinians water coming from the west bank or gazette street. they need to be about 55 years old. they want the shape of a death will and i want to enter with my kids. i want to come to jerusalem and to alex, to pray. i want to visit around and take them to the zoom them any time freely, but this is impossible. the friday pre of today has ended up his father. however,

the situation remains fragile and pants. many palestinians here are seen that if the israeli government please to see 2 scores, arks are compound, they're not going to accept that. and that is going to be good with function again . this you said that all j 0 occupied east jerusalem. or in garza, israel's military says it's carried out as stripes on sites belonging to hamas. soft at intercepted several rockets fired from the region and no reports of casualties. even outside has the support from garza is early warplanes targeted and pounded the gaza strip in the late night hours of thursday and all through the morning hours of the friday. at least 10 sites were targeted and evacuated, military camps in addition to agriculture lands over here. where in to fuck neighborhood, this is a residential neighborhood. as you can see,

these areas have been targeted by, by f. 16 messed styles, causing huge holes into the ground. they have completely destroyed the infrastructure. the power pulls here, power has been cut because the power poles have been destroyed. also civilian homes around this area here have been severely damaged. in addition to that, a children's hospital, a direct hospital was partially damaged according to because the ministry of health guy didn't even have that with us for a stuck. but we were prepared in this whole meals 1st a new ramadan day. suddenly we heard a small exclusion and then 5 exclusion struct. everything made 5 big hole. the children were terrified on the broken glass. his father, my sister, why she was sleeping on the computer. now egyptian mediators say that what has

happened between israel and hamas so far is just an exchange of messages. and that both parties do not wish to escalate the situation. more mass has said that it is going to be ready to stand against any aggression against the policy indian people in gaza or the holy sites. in jerusalem. you may see al jazeera gods, the city, or israel has also conducted strikes on parts of 11 arm. it's off to rockets were fired from the area and northern israel. no group has claimed responsibility, but the israeli military blames hummer. playing a hollow report from tara in southern lebanon, the israel carried out air strikes in southern lebanon in the early hours of friday morning targeting what it said were, how mass physicians, there's really military says it was in response to a barrage of rockets, the palestinian group, fired on thursday, no casualties were reported,

and most missiles fell in open spaces to read this untitled freedom within a single israel wants to respond, but it doesn't want a wide scale war doesn't want to involve his belie in a war. there are many reasons among them, domestic troubles and israel doesn't want a war to disrupt its production of gas. the un peacekeeping force in lebanon has been in contact with the parties. it says, israel and lebanon don't want to walk. and while there has been no claim of responsibility, security sources say palestinian groups, many of which are armed and confined to camps, were behind the incident. some analysts say they couldn't have acted without the knowledge. and backing of lebanon's has below both hamas and hezbollah or iranian allies, and recently announced a joint operations room. when we look at houses, activity and lebanon, we see that. and 2019 onwards, we saw

a large number of hamas officials representatives show up in lebanon. and also to certain extent they loot as a, as a base for their for their presence. the hezbollah has not condemned the rocket fire, but the lebanese government has warned, against using its territory for acts that could de stabilize the country. this may not just be about palestine in recent weeks as well, stepped up its war against iran in neighboring syria. iran, in a rare acknowledgement, said 2 of its military advisors were killed, it promised revenge. other incidents have heightened tension among them, the alleged infiltration of an armed man from lebanon into israel. and while this round of hostilities may be over, the exchange of fire appears to be more of a warning. the region could slide into broader conflict. seneca, there as is it

a tire southern lebanon? who sams on lot is the palestinian ambassador to the united kingdom. he says the west should be holding israel to account the latest escalation of violence in the region. things are so clear, blunt, as well is in violation of every single provision of international law as well is in violation of the very basic principles of humanity. the universe and values, i mean, holly places more, specially in holly months, mike ramadan, the sanctuary of that is very well enshrined in our human values. or can you imagine if armed soldiers, storms, us ascending gold or church, for that matter of the international reaction, what it would be? what is happening here? why israel has been bought above the law. why these really exceptionalism for all these years and decades, either for just so many answers to that a,

but perhaps one of which is the west duplicity selectivity. and hypocrisy is one has been provoking and provoking over the, over the months the, the weeks the days. and janine and nobliss and hebron and gaza, they're located garza and then of course the peak of that provocation, as is right, knows very well as alex saw, a sharif and hobby sharif as happened the last few nights during the holy month of ramadan and this playbook goes like this because his wife lives on violence at lives on the oppression on subjugation of an entire mission. and the only resort they have to continue controlling such a nation that does not accept the israeli control on his romania and colonization, occupation apartheid and blockade. the only resort as violence ah,

it's bringing some other news now of course in the united arab emirates has dismissed a request from south africa. expedite brothers to admit josh kupta. a t businessman are accused of colliding with former president jacob zoom to siphon off state assets. they were arrested last year to buy after the 2 governors negotiated an extradition treaty. south africa, justice minister says he will file an appeal and call the you. it is non cooperation, unprecedented. kathy powell is associate professor and public law at the university of cape town. she says the south african government might now look for help from into poll. the group to the oh, it's a big part of a huge corruption enterprise. in fact, so big that it was caught stirred, capture it 1st, was it tackled in the report of the previous protector when she discovered set out quite well. is it done to get in control of is a city facility,

what property they had in the event? and in the matter was investigated in detail by a full commission of inquiry into state cancer, which found that the group to the family because of the implants, the bags, the size of the president of the time, jacob sooner had managed to acquire more than $15000000.00 rent from south africa's public instance who can appeal, refuse an expedition order and how and what the requirements are. all going to depend on the the way you rate you handled extradition. so at the moment that deciding factor is the agreement between south african you need to call for a ton of tradition that the actual nuts and bolts of actually extradition process within the south africa has claimed it's done everything it could be here. it is not given that the chance to prove its case or the got to rudders are subject to

a written that issued by interpol. which means that any country in interpol, at a $195.00 of them, actually has an obligation to arrest them to allow them to be expedited to so after sled on out his era. ah, and the intent of the house of representatives is 2 democrats are expelled. we'll tell you why. hello we got some love warm spring sunshine across a good part of china. and the same could be said for the korean peninsula, at least now where to weather is pulling out into the open waters of the north west pacific. as is where the system just topples a little further east was still

ah, jump into the stream 10 percent of the population globally is responsible for about 15 percent of carbon image showing the debate. people have already lost that line. people. how close to that culture people have to have your say, want to broaden this conversation by bringing more voices into it live on you to people commenting. i want to know that you are not headed all this with this on al jazeera. oh, a

a major focus as woman bread brought explained. president emmanuel macaroni has been wrapping up this 3 day state visit with a trip to the city of one joe, the main manufacturing and exporting hub of southern china. and it's, of course, the business aspect of this visit, which you're seeing is extremely important to china, to france. and the why that you, especially given the souring of relations between china and the united states. a number of deals have been signed and possibly an indication of the import. china attaches to this visit. macaroni has been a company to go on, jo by his chinese counterparts, president she jane ping. it's highly unusual for she to accompany a visiting head of state beyond their 1st official meetings in beijing. but today, hoping, holding more talks more meetings with entrepreneurs and investors ending this visit

with a private dinner. but earlier macaroni visited a local university talking to students there about the escalating tensions in the world. and of course the war in ukraine were not on the school. you can harrison speeches this rise and tension has a strategic character between the u. s. and china. it's becoming very open and it grows with the major conflicts going on at the moment, especially the return of what europe and rushes aggression against ukraine. this was a clear violation about international law. this is the country that's decided to colonize its neighbor without respecting the rules. deploying weapons invading, deeply disrupts our international order and risks precipitating this strategic tension is given china's relationship with russia. that's been a lot of focus on whether macro and the european commission president should have on delay. and who has been accompanying him can exert pressure on she to push russia towards peace,

telling him bluntly that he is the only one who can bring russia to its senses, macro and leaves the region with a commitment from china that it to wants to see peace but no firm proposals on how between them, they might achieve that. rob mcbride al jazeera, so and the criminal says it's been following the talks in china, describing them as important, but it costs down on whether beijing would change its position on the ukraine conflict. on the outside influence earlier, russia said it would be pressing on with its military campaign and saw no prospects for peace. former president, donald trump, is watching his legal was backup. he's a paid and caused some criminal charges accused of breaking campaign finance laws. now the secret service agents who guarded him all set to give testimony to grand jury in a separate investigation into whether he mishandled classified documents, unofficial reports. after his court appearance in new york, this week,

donald trump's legal problems continue to mount. know the spotlight is back on his handling of classified documents, many recovered from his florida home, shooting an f b i read in august last year. the illegal and unconstitutional rate on moral lago right? only trump has repeatedly claimed he did nothing wrong. there is no criminality under the presidential record, jack. that is not what it's all about. the unprecedented search of his home uncovered more than a 100 documents marked classified. this after he told investigators he had returned everything. now a grand jury, which considers if there is enough evidence to charge someone with a criminal offense. we'll hear from secret service agents, people who will her own trump. after he left the oval office, they are likely to be asked if he saw the ex president with the documents and who might have been with them. it comes a week after his personal attorney,

evan corcoran, was called to give evidence to the secret service testimony escamy cumulative. to show that this isn't an instance like joe biden. hey, he forgot things, we give it back, but he himself was orchestrating the obstruction. he himself was making it clear he wanted to keep some of these documents, not return him to national archives, and that is a very, very serious problem for mr. trump. donald trump is busy alligators. the obstructed attempts to recover documents that he should have handed over when he left the white house. in january 2021. investigators are questioning whether he directed people to lie to government officials who were trying to get the documents back and then issued statement through his lawyer saying all the documents had been returned when they hadn't. the special prosecutor clearly believes the secret service testimony is an important block. in his case against donald j. trump. allen fisher al jazeera washington. the republican controlled tennessee house of representatives

has voted to expel 2 democrats for their role in a gun control protest at state house representatives. justin jones and justin pearson. i've called it a dark day. the demonstration happened after school shooting in nashville and which 6 people, 3 of them children, were killed. jones pearson and another democrat lead protest is on to the house floor to demand strict gunners. i cannot reports. well, we have had now the tennessee house objecting to democrats who had claimed a lead protest in the house against the house rules. those 2 were african americans and there was a sufficient vote to get them expelled the expulsion requiring 2 thirds. however, with a 3rd democratic charge who happens to be white at the tooth foods majority was not achieved. so she was not objected from the house. but this is a situation where the, those who have been thrown out of the house insist that this is anti democratic,

a dog's day for democracy. they say they insist as well that they were speaking in cohesion and together with the relatives and friends of those who had been killed in that shooting the week before. and they had just be in a statement issued by president biden. and all of this harshly critical of tennessee house republicans saying that today's expulsion of law makers who engaged in peaceful protest is shocking and democratic and without president. he's also called on congress to revisit, to issuing strong good gun laws. put himself right behind those law makers in tennessee who have now been expelled. what happens next? well, within 30 days, special elections have be to be called to replace these 2 seats. the 2 who've been expelled can stand in those elections. california is the 1st u. s. stay to begin a process to consider reparations for black americans,

who just as suffered on the slavery segregation and discrimination. reynolds reports on the commission as considering the issue that's happening tomorrow. at a public meeting of the reparations commission, people spoke out sometimes passionately. our ancestors helped build this country, african americans, black people, whatever you want to label as this time. where on the island of desta to despair amongst a sea of abundance, shrewd lipper right should start with muddy the ab. $3121.00 task force meeting is now hard to order. the task force was set up by the state legislature in 2020, to develop proposals for compensating california residents who are descendants of enslaved people. this task force is designed to examine the harms associated with the enslavement of black people, african americans in this country as well. as the legacy of the harms of

enslavement, advocate, se reparations would not only be for slavery, but the century and a half of racism that followed. and we think about over time whether you want to start with the jim crow laws, whether you want to think about moving forward with the red lining with real estate are the, are the, the horrors of discrimination. segregation, all of those things followed, ah, slavery and, and i have continued a thing to plague us through to day. economists consulted by the panel estimate that the cost of compensating california's black residents could top $800000000000.00. that's 2 and a half times the state's budget for this year. the task force sure says reparations may not be limited to money. the recommendation for reparations must include compensation restitution, which account for stolen land are still in. well,

i'm stolen opportunities, rehabilitation. i mean, free education, free health care examples, i'm not saying that those are going to be the final recommendation. hash reparations are not unprecedented. the federal government has paid some native american tribes compensation for land improperly seized from them. and in 1988 paid $1200000000.00 to japanese americans inter earned during the 2nd world war a task force would like to hear from everyone. the task force must complete its report by july. first, the commission's ultimate recommendations will be purely advisory. the state's legislature and governor will ultimately decide what if any reparations are given a process that is sure to prompt war debate about history, equity, and cost. rob reynolds al jazeera los angeles. ah.
