12:01 pm
a secrets scientist, say there could be an entire ocean. beneath the surface of the color, we begin in great square. at least one person has died and a major wildfire on the outskirts of the capital. hundreds of firefighters are battling the inferno which broke out on sunday, or authorities, or evacuating towns on hospitals near athens as plains destroy, forest and homes, and the cause of the wildfire remains unknown. charles stratford is joining us from the mockery that's near us. as charles, tell us what you are seeing where you are. that's right. yeah, we're near mockery. this is a, a town north east of athens. it's a particularly dangerous time. now that's according to the,
12:02 pm
the firefighters in this area, and that's because the wind is picking up again, this town that was an evacuation or to put on it. we believed yesterday. and if i all of which of the camera mind to zoom up on that hill, you'll see the smoke, the rising. the big concern is, is the smaller fires. now getting back out of control, there's whole areas of the mountains in this area that are completely burned out. you can obviously see firefighters behind this on stand by. but just give you an example of just how close the spies all to where residents are living. this sort of being a small fire that have broken out, but it's gone right up to the perimeter fence of this property. we're unsure as to whether anybody is still here because we were told that many of the people, despite having the wound that they should leave, didn't. busy the authorities are saying, as i mentioned, that there is this window now for the next 3 or 4 hours,
12:03 pm
where they're concerned about increasing wins, swelling, winds that a very difficult to predict what way they will push the fires as you mention so far, at least one person we understand is being killed. a 6 year old woman who we had sold was founded in her work place at least 18 people injured. we've seen. i think the stuff helicopter is probably a little bit too far away, but they're all helicopters culturally so coming, going over to, to the sea, which i suppose is about 2 kilometers away. picking up what's out there and dropping them on the hills behind me. i think what's interesting to point out is this 5 seems to have broken out completely independently because there is a barrier here of an old grove. and we can see areas of school school which there is beyond that. so it just shows is you the danger, for example, of a burning tend to being taken by the wind and landing in other areas from where the main flies have been. we know that there is an increasingly uh,
12:04 pm
international effort involved in trying to contain these fires according to a single civilian protection agreement. the use agreement, we've got to contributions coming in from products from to a key from spain, from the czech republic, i'm supplying helicopters, that control. what was the planes, as well as many vehicles and person that were ready? 700 will. so we understand the greek firefighters are involved in this crisis, but yeah, as i say, it's gonna be very interesting to see how things develop in the next few hours. we understand certainly that in, in, in this area the main file is an area that is very difficult to access beyond the, the mounts and here behind me. but we understand that there are flies happening in various different locations all the way across this area. northeast of the capital
12:05 pm
athens. all right, charles, thank you so much for that. updates from greece as the more than 2250 is really illegal settlers, an ultra nationalist. i've entered the ups on last compound and occupied east jerusalem is really police prevented them from entering the mosque itself. many were seen performing jewish religious rituals, and israel's national security minister. it's more been gavera and another minister were among the group of settlers and they occupied westbank is really subtler storing the village just as to when they responded to calls on social media to raise palestinian villages. near hebron. the settlers arrived on buses under the protection of as really forces snipers provided additional cover for move tops. okay, shortly we'll be heading to it on
12:06 pm
a lot in the occupied westbank to speak with me that abraham about what's happening there. but 1st over to the invest, robbie, joining us from my mind and jordan is the, is really government has banned ultra 0 from reporting and is real. so we saw the pictures of it to me, our bank of the year for the 2000, and sellers entering the ups on last compounds and what are you hearing about the situation and what may happen next. well, this is an annual event to commemorate. so temple that is set to astute on that side centuries ago. there is not necessarily anything new to what we're seeing. but there are certain subtleties that are important. explore now in terms of what they are doing, the israelis, the, the, the jewish worshippers here are, have not so far broken any internationally recognized agreements with regards to the holy sites and to the use of those holy sites. but what we are seeing here that this new are the ritual practices there and this is no doubt and outward show of
12:07 pm
dominance by far right is released by it's marvin give here the minister. ready himself now, well, what we're seeing here is, uh, normally a march happens, they come and go. these numbers are also not unlike what we've seen in the past, but the singing, the lying down, the prayer, the carrying of flags. these are all in violation of agreements of govern holy sites between jordan and israel, and the palestinians. and these are all going to no doubt be seen as provocation. the minister himself, speaking of their said, we are on the temple amount to commemorate the destruction of the temple. i have to say frankly, there has been very significant progress here in imposing sovereignty and authority . hundreds of jews are performing prayers. our policy is to allow the jews to pray and i will say something else. victory in this war is to win, not to go to conferences in doha or cairo, but rather to win and force them to neil. this is the message we can defeat from us
12:08 pm
and brings them to their knees. so not only preventative shows of rituals being performed during this annual event, but very provocative language from a minister who has said that all guys i must be reoccupied, who be team lead pedals, hate speech as policy. he feels the government should take oftentimes and disagreements with prime minister benjamin netanyahu, himself of the policy and for ministry has condemned this which or condemned this practice, calling a provocative end timing, an optics matter what the far right leaders here are doing what the far right worshipers here are doing comes at a time of hiding tensions in gaza and comes ahead of talks. and no doubt these optics of a far right leader said he gets a backdrop of one of his funds. holy is cited is unlikely to help any future negotiations that may or may not have. okay, so thank you for that update from oman will cross over to the, the him whose joining us from. but i'm on the and tell us about what's happened in
12:09 pm
the occupied westbank, particularly the significance of the vintage of, of to one and how expensive that rate was. ended up was that in we've been speaking to people in the village of the wellness and why they say they've been getting used to, is really sucked to, there's storming their village under different projects, including performing religious rituals. they say that this time, this was by far the largest number of settlers storming their village, coming in with bosses responding to close on social media to perform these religious rituals. indeed, it's not the only location in the occupied west then that's we've been seeing is really settlers coming in and storming in large numbers. i'm standing here in a location in drama, and as you can see behind me, there is an old, a building, a historical one. and palestinian save. that is really subtler is try to use any
12:10 pm
historical area, any shrine, any spring to try a leg claims of the lamb. this is one of the cases that offers often visited by is really said there's on the protection of the israeli army, leading to confrontations with palestinians. you know, this is an occupied territory, or rather the existence of these really minute 3 and under international law is considered an occupation. but then you'd see these as rarely settlers coming in and how this thing is within you. that the reason is clear. they want to make name to the land and we've been seeing that in various other locations, mainly in joseph to area in nablus, north of the occupied to us bank. where do we see is really settlers storming this location various times we're talking about once every couple of weeks under the protection of these really on what is really subtler is want palestinians tell you is to push palestinians out of there then to try and come in push palestinians out
12:11 pm
as much as they could, and then with time billed and illegal is re the assessment to kind of consolidate these really subtler presence of the occupied to us back. so what might seem like a religious situation? palestinians send you, it's truly a political one to consolidate the suckers presence in the occupies with the haines . thank you so much for the palestinian statistics. bureau says really attacks have killed nearly 40000 palestinians across garza, in more than 10 months of war. the latest strikes have killed at least 15 palestinians across garza since tuesday morning. several others were wounded in attacks and the southern city of han eunice. fierce bottles are underway between the is really your army and palestinian fighters in hon. eunice a renewed is really military operation. in the southern city as forest,

12:14 pm
has not been able to do? i think one of the biggest take away is which many member states have been shouting from the roof tops is a need for a form of the security council. we're in a situation where the security council is clearly not working to maintain international peace and security, as it was mandated to do. re, augments your power. stein's ambassador to the un says the council and member states have the tools to hold israel to account. so there are many things that they can do if they have to put it together with to act. journalist report about it. diplomats listen to it. that is the power of the security council. and the hope is of been surely there will be the political will to in israel's war on gaza. something so far, the council has failed to do. gabriel's on to l, just needed at the united nations in new york. still ahead on al jazeera, a religious calculator is in quartz, antonio accused of encouraging hundreds followers to starve themselves to death and
