party till four filled with drugs and the whole party tillfoura.m.. filled with drugs and the whole party till four a.m.. they don't understand the resistance in it. we have a different message than our pa re nts' have a different message than our parents' generation had. no—one goes to throw rocks any more. there is no, absolutely no outcome in that. there's just small kids go and get killed. my parents my pare nt5 knew my parents knew the world, the area without checkpoints. they knew how it was. i don't. we don't. thi5 it5elf, it was. i don't. we don't. thi5 itself, not only checkpoints, the whole political logi5tic5 5ituation i5 whole political logi5tic5 5ituation is different from grandparents to parent5 is different from grandparents to parents to us. so it affects everything, not only mu5ic. they lost the palestinian interest.
4:46 am
they lost the palestinian interest. they are the ones who put on genes, not us. they lost our culture. we arejust building on not us. they lost our culture. we are just building on what they gave us. are just building on what they gave us. of course we are just building on what they gave us. of course we are are just building on what they gave us. of course we are creating something new. this is what the older people don't know. so this is what we know, right now, this is our contribution to society, whether they like it or not. i'm born and raised in haifa. my family is originally from eyre creek, which is in the north of the galilee. —— iqrit. i
4:47 am
creek, which is in the north of the galilee. —— iqrit. late grew creek, which is in the north of the galilee. —— iqrit. i ate grew up alway5 galilee. —— iqrit. i ate grew up always the idea that i must return back to iqrit and the destroyed and displaced village of my grandparents. —— back drop alway5. it actually gave me the ability to be an insider it actually gave me the ability to be an in5ideror it actually gave me the ability to be an insider or out5ider. you can see that, everything behind thi5 you can see that, everything behind this mountain is lebanon. on a clear day you can see haifa all the way from there. it was bombed on chri5tma5 from there. it was bombed on christmas eve 1951. a palestinian arab chri5tian village. we are allowed only to return back to the
4:48 am
cemetery, where all our loved ones are buried. so the only way for iqrit person to return to iqrit i5 actually in a coffin. but we as a young generation, we changed that equation and we actually decided to live here before we die here. and that'5 live here before we die here. and that's why we still come here and we 5till plant tomatoe5 that's why we still come here and we 5till plant tomatoes and still try to do ma55e5 here and pray in this church. so we are still alive, you know? 20%, almost, of the population of
4:49 am
israel palestinian people living within the borders of the state of israel, holding israeli pa55port5. we used to have a different name for haifa. the mother of the strangers. it was always like haifa gathering eve ryo ne it was always like haifa gathering everyone in sight together. when i used to live in my village, there we re used to live in my village, there were parties. when they reached entrance i was rejected since it says i am an arab on my 80. we thought, ok, if everyone is rejecting us, so we should gather together and find our own places and start producing our own parties. thi5
4:50 am
this place is a music bar. when you are occupied, you really need your owi'i are occupied, you really need your own space. so that's why we created it here. every one of us, even me, we live for at least two different live5. i'm a different person when i am in haifa. i'm a different person when i go to nazareth to visit my parents. i'm a different person when i go to tel aviv. like when went there at fir5t, tel aviv. like when went there at first, when i talked in arabic, everyone looks at you like you are going to explode any minute. i rarely talked in arabic. i rarely read arabic, heard arabic. and you 5ta rt, read arabic, heard arabic. and you 5tart, like, feeling like you're nothing. like who am i, what am i doing here, why am i here? the difference between the scene here and be seen in the west bank,
4:51 am
sometimes i feel like a bit of jealousy of them, because you feel like if we are re5i5ting here, they are really re5i5ting. so because of that, we are trying so much not to prove only to the worlds we are palestinian, but first of all i have to prove to myself that i deserve it. we are messed up. and we are not even aware of that. a lot of women around me, for years and years, they want to be djs, they wa nt to and years, they want to be djs, they want to do music, and they always expressed that desire, you know. but
4:52 am
they have their own fee is also about it, like some of them they really wa nt about it, like some of them they really want to do music, but they don't want to be known at all, they don't want to be known at all, they don't want to be known at all, they don't want their name anywhere —— their own fears about it. ijust i just walked down the street, i ijust walked down the street, i see it, sexual harassment, i have experienced since the age of six yea rs experienced since the age of six years old, you know. so whether it you are a child or a woman in this society, that comes back in may lyrics a lot of times. —— comes back in may lyrics. i have one piece for a talk about sexual harassment. some people even suggested that a come with another name and publish it anonymously, you know, like in a way that's how much women can be scared from talking about these things
4:53 am
also, you know. but this is actually the reality of the society in itself, because they watch women as if they were glass. as if they are going to shatter if they try anything different. lam not i am not just i am notju5t a female, i'm a person. it makes a lot of difference. a5 i always say, people might come to the party because i'm a girl, and they want to see that palestinian female who wants to play. but they're not going to dance for three hours because i am a girl palestinian. the going to down5 because the music made them dance. —— dance. this feeling of partial freedom that we get here, i wish that other people in palestine also can feel it, because for us it's keeping us positive and it's keeping us
4:54 am
breathing and it's keeping us going. we build this dance floor and being together and being connected to each other, in everything, in sharing everything that we love in music, in art in general, that is the close of everything, to show that we still exi5t. i believe that life is good and bad. it's not one thing or the other. i believe in this place. i believe it can heal. hello there. storm erik still not done with us
4:55 am
yet, there is more wind to come — in fact it looks like we could see some very gusty conditions through the early part of this morning. storm erik passes to the north of the uk with a swathe of 60—70 mph gusts likely for northern ireland, southern scotland and northern england first thing on saturday, gradually those winds will turn light into this afternoon. this swathe of potentially damaging and disruptive winds will affect the northern half of the country for a while this morning, some heavy rain and snow on the tops of the pennines and the scottish hills, further south some blustery showers, we will start the day with temperatures of around 6—8 degrees. a windy start this morning, further heavy pulses of rain, but eventually the rain becomes confined to the north—east of scotland and the northern isles, as storm erik continues to pull away into the north sea. further south there will be plenty of sunshine, a few showers across western areas, and a good deal of dry weather across eastern areas. it will be a gusty day, those winds gradually easing down into the afternoon. temperature wise, england and wales are seeing double figures again, 10—11 celsius, closer to 7—9 across scotland and northern ireland. something a little
4:56 am
bit fresher there. there could be some disruption from the winds through today, particularly early on, keep tuned in to the latest weather forecast and bbc local radio for the latest updates. storm erik pushes off in towards scandinavia, we look to the south, this next feature could bring a spell of very wet weather to southern parts of the country on saturday night, maybe on sunday some strong winds, but the strongest winds will be across the channel into the near continent. we could see some snow over the higher ground of wales for a while, but slowly this rain will ease away through sunday, it could hang back to east anglia and the south—east. colder air will be pouring south eastwards behind it, these showers across northern areas will be turning increasingly wintry as temperatures back into single figures for all of us. we will have showery burst of rain through saturday into sunday night, and then we see a ridge of high pressure building in which will settle things down but it will feel cold as we start
4:57 am
monday off on a cold note. a little bit of frost around. but we have this ridge of high pressure which should see a good deal of dry weather, winds lighter than we have had for the past few days. temperatures 5—9 degrees, so it will feel a little chilly to how it has felt at the start of the weekend. high pressure building in next week, temperatures will come down considerably, with dry weather and the return of chilly nights. welcome to bbc news — i'm reged ahmad. our top stories: president maduro refuses to allow aid into venezuela. he says the country doesn't need foreign handouts — not everyone agrees. translation: i want this aid to get in because people are dying. mr president, we are dying. families are dying. at least ten people, including teenage players, are killed after a fire sweeps through a building at one of brazil's biggest football clubs.
