in all more than 200 people were injured, as crowds threw stones and officers fired stun grenades in response. 0ur middle east correspondent yolande knell reports. "0ur blood is a cheap price forjerusalem," shouts this bereaved gaza grandmother. while this woman, who lost four children, can only weep. the casualties, mounting, after israeli air strikes. translation: this evening, | jerusalem day, gaza's terrorist organisations crossed a red line and attacked us with rockets on the outskirts ofjerusalem. israel will react very forcefully. his response to a barrage of rockets fired by palestinian militants.

israelis ran for cover when one reached jerusalem for the first time in years. while angry palestinians cheered. tensions were simmering on this holiday, when israelis mark the capture of eastjerusalem over 50 years ago. there is a party atmosphere, as israelis gather from across the country to head down towards the western wall. for them, this is a big day of celebration. for the palestinians, this march as a provocation. why am i here? because we are not going to let anyone win of when they are going to threaten us and try to stop us from being here and celebrate and dance. it is unbelievable. earlier, inside al—aqsa mosque, ramadan worship had quickly turned into violence.

stun grenades and stones on this site, sacred to muslims and jews. at this gate there was frustration as israeli police stop jewish people from entering. tonight, the al—aqsa compound was literally ablaze. the israeli celebrations continued. the fire was put out. what has flared up here may be harder to extinguish. us regulators say they will allow children as young as 12 to be vaccinated against the coronavirus. they are being offered the pfizer—biontech jab, which had previously been limited to those aged 16 and over, under emergency use rules. the us food and drug administration said it had carried out a thorough review of all available data before reaching the decision. most children who catch covid—i9 develop no symptoms, or only mild ones, but can still spread the illness to others.

we know that this is a big step for our country. vaccinating a younger population brings us closer to returning to a sense of normalcy and to ending the pandemic. now parents and guardians can rest assured that in making our decision the agency undertook a rigorous and through review of of all available scientific data as we have with all the covid—i9 vaccinations. let's speak to the bbc�*s north america correspondent. peter bowes joins us now from los angeles. peter, janet woodcock is saying it is a big step towards normalcy, normality. isuppose that imagining people were not crying out for this particularly. crying out for this articularl . ~ ~ particularly. well, ithink some parents _ particularly. well, ithink some parents have - particularly. well, ithink some parents have been| particularly. well, i think- some parents have been crying out for it. think there has been a certain amount of frustration where mum and dad have had both shots of the vaccine but the children who

hadn't and it therefore made them a little more nervous about venturing out, children going to school, entering summer school and outdoor activities, where now at least if the children are in this age group you can have the entire family potentially vaccinated, it makes people feel a little more easy about the situation. in terms of the overall numbers, perhaps it won't make a huge difference percentagewise, there are about 17 million young americans in this 12-15 17 million young americans in this 12—15 age group. as officials have been describing today, it does move us a little bit further towards that sense of normal life perhaps bright light at the end of the tunnel with the pandemic. the big concern, certainly this country, is the fact that the number of people getting these vaccinations overall is slowing down. i vaccinations overall is slowing down. , , , vaccinations overall is slowing down. , , ., , down. i suppose this would help increase numbers, _ down. i suppose this would help increase numbers, at _ down. i suppose this would help increase numbers, at least, - increase numbers, at least, from a purely political point of view it looks good if you are keeping the numbers going on vaccinations.—

for 17 —year—olds. it really isn't nothing. but in the light of the days of president trump where there was an issue about virtual immunity, whatever the precisely set or not, is there a general sense that they need this jab? i a general sense that they need this “ab? ~ , , this jab? i think they is. if you look at— thisjab? ithink they is. if you look at the _ thisjab? ithink they is. if you look at the numbers i this jab? i think they is. if- you look at the numbers there are actually more young people accounting for new cases now than a year ago. so it is a significant group. they might not as individuals be badly affected by the virus, but they still carry the ability to pass it on to other people, to other people who are not vaccinated. that is where the broader concern is.— that is where the broader concern is. ., ~ , ., concern is. peter, thank you very much — concern is. peter, thank you very much indeed. - concern is. peter, thank you very much indeed. peter - concern is. peter, thank you i very much indeed. peter bowes in la. in other news: we stay in the us for a moment. the pentagon says a us naval ship has fired multiple warning shots after more than a dozen fast boats from iran's revolutionary guards came close to an american submarine.

infections, with cases shooting up last month. doctors say the terrible scenes across the border in india have helped persuade people to take more precautions, but there are concerns the eid festival this week will lead to a dangerous spike. so a partial lockdown is now in place. secunder kermani reports from lahore. friday prayers in lahore. at this mosque, plenty of masks, but no social distancing. throughout the holy month of ramadan, congregational prayers have continued. beds for critically ill patients in the city have been filling up.

in public hospitals, around 75% are occupied. 0utside, families wait anxiously. a few weeks ago, it seems the health care system was about to be overwhelmed. since then, admissions have actually fallen but the danger of another, bigger spike after eid is very real. we do believe that there is some level of fear in the mind of the people, now, about the disease. seeing the horrific pictures from india and from elsewhere. obviously we have limited resources, we have a limited number of beds. if the number of cases overwhelm the availability of the hospital that's going to be a very, very painful situation. at this market last week, shoppers with masks, but out in force. the lead up to the eid festival is usually the busiest time of the year for retailers. but now a partial lockdown

is in place to try and reduce transmission rates. all nonessential businesses are closed until next week. the security forces are being called in to help enforce the rules. what happens over eid is going to be crucial in preventing the health care system from becoming overwhelmed. this is an important part of that, but an even bigger challenge is going to be whether families decide to have their own gatherings at home, and that's going to be even harder to control. the only way we can do that at the houses level, is to request an appeal to the people to behave more responsibly. obviously it's not possible for us to reach every house and household. a vaccination campaign is under way, but it is moving slowly with under 4 million doses administered so far. for now, all the focus is on avoiding a spike in the coming days. secunder kermani, bbc news, lahore.

things were building up. we had four elections in israel in the last four years and there is no government so you have a vacuum of power on one end, you have also political leaders who are trying to weaponise a religion, to weaponise into a political ideology, and you could see throughout the month of ramadan, jewish extremists have been trying to force palestinians, evict palestinians and steal their homes. they are even on video saying, "if i don't steal it, somebody else will steal it." they are trying to provoke clashes with muslim worshippers and they have been consistent, and they've been protected by the authorities. it was clear that, as if there was a plan, basically by some political leaders to distract from politicalfailures and use this kind of violence, especially religious violence, to build up a campaign so you can gaslight from the failure that's been

going on in israel politics. right, as the situation stands, israel will view the situation in eastjerusalem as a sovereign issue. is there any way in which president biden, the biden administration, can tilt things at this extremely volatile stage or are you a little bit beyond hope at the moment? i don't know ifjerusalem can be viewed as sovereign issue. according to the international law, if we still abide by international law... yes, but that is my point in a way, and israel doesn't view it that way, the biden administration, we are waiting to see what stance they are going to take on things like this but, as you know, the previous administration abandoned words like "occupied territory", even. yes, and they lost the election. president biden won. 84 million americans voted for president biden and the main mandate is to defend democracy. to defend democracy at home,

to defend democracy overseas. his secretary of state blinken, his main goal, overarching goal is to impose some kind of international—based order. they've been very good when it comes to calling out regimes like the one in china, in russia, however the real litmus test will be if they will call out allies. if they will pressure israel to abide by international law and to respect human rights when it comes to palestinians, especially palestinians who are residents of sheikh jarrah area who have been forcefully evicted, who've been displaced and dispossessed. we are in the midst of a global pandemic, however the state of israel continued its policy of dispossession, displacement and ethnic cleansing. the largest oil pipeline in the united states is still not functioning after a cyberattack

that's been described as the worst ever strike on us infrastructure. the biden administration has invoked emergency powers in an effort to avoid fuel shortages. today the fbi said a hacking group, based in russia, was behind the attack. the pipeline in question supplies 1a east coast states, with nearly half of the petrol, diesel and airline fuel they consume. 0ur security correspondent, gordon corerra reports. colonial pipeline tonight still not pumping fuel across america, thanks to a cyber attack. four days after online hackers infiltrated systems, its pipeline is still shut down. a development serious enough to lead president biden to speak out this evening. the department of energy is working directly with colonial to get the pipelines back online and operating at full capacity as quickly and safely as possible. the fbi also is engaged to assess

and address this attack. colonial�*s 5500 mile pipeline carries nearly half of all the fuel for america east coast, from texas up to the north—east. emergency powers have allowed tankers to carry more to avoid shortages, including at airports. what's called ransomware has become a profitable enterprise. the hackers behind this incident even licensing their software for others to use. they are thought to be based in russia, but criminals, rather than part of a government. the group call themselves darkside. today they put out a statement saying, "we are apolitical and do not participate in geopolitics. don't tie us to governments," they say. "our goal is to make money and not creating problems for society." it looks like they may be worried that this time, things have gone too far. what they have done

is they have taken some data, encrypted it, and they are holding it for ransom. and they are saying if they don't get paid, they are going to leak it on the internet. and likely this company is going to be either needing to pay it off, or getting some sort of help from the us government. because the longer this goes on, you can start to see supplies eventually, not this week, but soon, start to get a bit tight and that is going to drive up energy prices. colonial say they hope to restore systems by the end of the week. but this is notjust about fuel supplies. hospitals, police forces, even local councils in the uk have all in the past been hit by a ransomware threat that is still growing. gordon corera, bbc news. the banking giant hsbc has announced zoom—free friday afternoons for some uk staff in an effort to tackle stress caused by working from home during the pandemic. it comes after the issue of work—life balance was highlighted by one hsbc employee who suffered a heart attack while preparing

dominic patten is the senior editor of deadline hollywood, which broke the story, here's what he had to say. a lot of people, of course, have put emphasis on the fact that it was revealed, just before this year's golden globes, on february 28th, that the globes has not a single black member in their now 86 members because, of course, they lost a former president as a member recently because it turned out he was sending out racially offensive e—mails. so of their 86 members, 75 of them last week voted for a rather ambitious but not that great on the details reform plan that the hfpa board has put forward. among various things, they said they wanted to raise their membership by 50% within the next 18 months, which would have passed it beyond the point of the 2022 globes, and maybe even the 2023, depending on that.

they also had various by—laws that were yet to be approved under california law, and they wanted to bring in real governance and transparency and, after being around since the mid—40s, and actual code of ethics. those things may still happen — they seem to be moving forward — but as nbc and others pointed out and as netflix and others made a real point of, you need to show us the money and show us the reform. i've said this so many times, i've said this on the bbc, there is a reason they call it show business and not show friends. if you have a diving sheet to sell you may make some money. this drawing is expected to fetch $16 million when it goes on auction this summer. that would be a record and it would also be a big pricetag for what is a very small work. the drawing measuresjust is a very small work. the drawing measures just three inches squared. it is one of

only ten drawings by da vinci still in private hands. it was sold in 1864 £2.5 or less than $4. you're watching bbc news. thank you for watching. hello. as yesterday, today is shaping up to be a day of sunny spells and showers. the devil is going to be in the detail, though, for the next few days. those showers circulating this large area of low pressure, with still fairly tightly packed isobars today. but as the week goes on, the low pressure remains with us, just slowly meandering southwards, but the winds become lighter, so the showers will become slow—moving. lengthier spells of rain even as we pick up another area of low pressure within our main one. so that means most of us will have some wetter weather as we go through this week, in the form of showers. but you can see those rainfall totals are going to be totting up.

for the day ahead, as i say, it's a day of sunny spells and showers. best of the sunshine will be through this morning but as yesterday those showers will be pretty intense as we go into the afternoon, with thunderstorms around. and we've got more persistent rain. across the north—west of scotland, still further showers to come. they're not easing away everywhere, and it will be a coolish night but largely frost free. a few showers will come into southern and western parts of england, possibly wales as well, towards dawn. any bits of mist and low cloud first thing will meander out of the way. plenty of sunshine to come, as you can see, through the morning hours but won't be long before that strong may sunshine gets to work, bubbling up the cloud, showers develop more widely. still a fairly brisk wind, as i say, in southern and western areas. 0ur rain slow to clear but gradually clearing for the north—west of scotland, but a real rash of showers following behind, with hail, thunder, squally winds.

in between, 16 and 17, feeling quite pleasant, but clearly, in those downpours, there could be quite a lot of localised standing water. and they continue well through the evening and overnight. once again, temperatures falling back into single figures, but largely frost free. and then we're really chasing those showers. the devil really will be in the detail this week, with showers. it might be that we've still got that more persistent rain hanging around in the north—west of scotland, possibly more meandering into western areas. possibly even with a low pressure pushing into the far south of england. but what we do know is there will be heavy downpours around becoming more slow—moving by wednesday. still 15s and 16s between the showers but some lengthy spells of rain when they do come along, with hail and thunder. and as i say, it's a pretty showery picture for much of the rest of the week. as ever, there is more on the website.

i was completely intoxicated.

this is bbc news, the headlines: the health ministry in gaza says 20 people, including nine children, have been killed in israeli air strikes. the strikes were retaliation after a barrage of rockets was fired from the territory towards jerusalem. israel says it killed three militants. us regulators say they will allow children as young as 12 to be vaccinated against the coronavirus. those between 12 and 15 will be offered the pfizer—biontech jab. it had previously been limited to those aged 16 and over. the us television network, nbc, says it will not broadcast the golden globes ceremony next year, joining a growing wave of criticism about the organisers' lack of diversity and ethical stance. the hollywood foreign press association has come under pressure after it emerged that there were no black members.
