demonstrators inside the compound to a big palestinian residents from east room to make room for jewish settlers have fueled protests that escalated over the weekend and today tensions are particularly high as israel is marking jerusalem day the anniversary of when israeli troops captured east jerusalem in 1967 amid growing international calls for calm the u.n. security council is holding an emergency session to discuss the situation. not confrontation. 2 2 escalation. it's an entrenched pattern of behavior between jewish israelis and arabs palestinians who make claims to the same land.

this time the hatred flared at the damascus gate at the entrance to the old city. 8 ownership of land is at the heart of the bitter dispute. the prospect of forced evictions of palestinians from east jerusalem has brought arabs to the streets over the past 2 weeks hundreds of them have been injured as israeli police crackdown on the demonstrations. on sunday they were out again ahead of a controversial jerusalem day march through the old city. hard line israeli nationalists use the annual event to celebrate the capture of east jerusalem by israeli forces in 1967 war israeli security officials warn it could lead to a further escalation in violence. and we're joined by our correspondent in jerusalem tanya. tanya that contentious march is expected to take place by israelis today in jerusalem how much potential is there for the violence to

escalate. well i said it's it's a very difficult day. israeli celebrate jerusalem day which marks the capture of east jerusalem $967.00 and the reunification. of jerusalem but that is of course from an israeli point of view palestinians want to see is to islamist their future capital and they see this as a provocation it's a very difficult day usually the route goes from east to some to cut it's through palestinian neighborhoods through one of the main gates damascus gate and then through the most important we heard we understand that israeli security officials even have warned that under the current circumstances that the route at least or the route should be. changed but we haven't heard anything to that regard what has

been decided is to close the temple mount of the. mosque 2 israeli marches these are usually international religious very rightwing a people marching through the old city but we are seeing also this morning very heavy confrontations between palestinian youth. saying that it's ready police is using stun grenades and tear gas and palestinian youths throwing rocks and according to the red crush and there are dozens of injured already it's a developing situation and we will be sure of the looking at that giving you more on that during the day you mentioned those confrontations turn you know we've got some live pictures that we're going to play now from jerusalem that showing what's happening right now we've been seeing these clashes in jerusalem for several days now what is fueling the. well there are several reasons. that as you know it's has been tense in the city for

at least the past 3 weeks starting with police israeli police putting barriers in one of the central passes in front of damascus gate we had also march of ultra far right extremist jewish extremists on. 2 weeks ago but there's also another issue that is fueling those tensions is the potential. for palestinian families from one of the palestinian neighborhoods in shacks around in the next east jerusalem we have been talking to one of the daughters of one of the families they are facing eviction in favor of a jewish settlers let's have a look. more now i quote is documenting everything that happens here for social media her family is one of 4 families facing eviction from their homes in the

palestinian neighborhood of shaikh shut off in east jerusalem writing settlers could soon move in here. this is our life as we are the owners of the land we lived here legally and everything is documented legally. and they come here and occupied the place and they want to occupy what remains of the neighborhood you . hate this part of the house has already been taken over by to resettle as a decade ago just like across the street where settlers moved into this house they claim parts of this neighborhood is actually their land and have raged a lengthy court battle against the family. almost a 100 years. jews lived. and jews own the land. nothing changed one thing that the arabs suddenly decided that there was all of the

land of the property and decided not to accept the jewish ownership like other palestinian families who live in this neighborhood live every saturday here by jordan and the un after the israeli arab war in 1948 they had lost everything after being displaced at that time israeli law prevents them from claiming their lost properties. and that's the supreme court allows a european if there are no other legal options for the family. the morning would then with a it's very painful a very tiring psychologically speaking we're exhausted each one of us has packed a back with the most important papers passport identity cards anything important next a typical. from school and university in case they picked us and that's what we need to take with us and it should be an issue with the other not. some said residents

and supporters come together to break their ramadan fast soon after skirmishes break out at some point riot police harshly disperse the crowd arresting some of the palestinian protesters as the eviction back over the homes is like a symbol of what's at stake in the israeli palestinian conflict. tanya families like the one in your report have been awaiting a court decision on whether or not they're going to be evicted that decision i understand has been postponed why. well exactly that's what happened the supreme court at the high court of justice in israel has postponed the hearing that was scheduled actually for today from last week. and they could have made a potential decision on this pending eviction in favor of this jewish settler

organization who claims the land also the attorney general of israel has submitted to postpone the hearing to weigh in on the case now this gives the family is a brief despite so to speak they can stay in their homes for now but it doesn't actually cancel to sit the decision by a lower court that already authorized. after a lengthy court battle by this do is set logon ization spac in february so basically it doesn't also change the root cause as we heard it in the report about this very controversial legislation and there are also other families in the middle of court proceedings that are facing pending eviction that i understand of a vixen in the coming months tony thank you very much that was our jerusalem correspondent tanya kramer. it was check on some other stories making headlines around the world today protests erupted in several iraqi cities after the

failing to respect the conditions of their current contract public trust has been damaged by reports of rare but serious side effects of the job. speaking at the european parliament in strasbourg french president about a wal-mart call and said he welcomed the move. you know why we use this vaccine in france and europe and we must continue to do so because it will help us get out of the crisis but for the future to respond to variants in particular we see that other vaccines are more effective so this signals a european pragmatism which i welcome. correspondent joins us now from brussels belgium what reason has the e.u. given for not renewing its order for the vaccine. they sickly it is a lack of trust into the management of us doesn't it. good told the french

commissioner who is responsible for the vaccination campaign said there is no rely the plan tabled best as anyone how to deliver the doses the u.n. has already ordered for this year you have to keep in mind that only one 3rd of the dozers that ordered actually delivered to the customer is so that's why the u.s. looking for a target to but it is a business decision it's not about the medical. conditions as an it is still believed to be an effective vaccine the european medication agency says says any cut is reliable and safe so it's about business and trust in business ok you say it's a business decision there's also the medical aspect and of course then there's politics health politicized is this whole debate surrounding astra zeneca. well this is an ego of cause problems in the beginning of the compay in the you has

taken the company to call it and if you aren't caught with somebody it doesn't look good if you buy more stuff from the same supplier as this might also affect the end to the decision and turn to tips for the e.u. us there's any is only delivering a small portion of the doses needed in europe 400000 out of 2400000000 that have been ordered for this year and now the e.u. commission has renewed its contact or extended its contract was by ontic 5 they would buy up to 1.8 additional one point $8000000000.00 additionally it goes up through to the 2023 and biotech pfizer is by far the biggest supplier figure already so the e.u. is throwing its weight now behind by and tech pfizer by and check how quickly can that company that egg that production attempt get

ramped up quickly enough to provide those $1800000000.00 in. well themes from the commission biotech pfizer is doing a pretty good job they are delivering faster than originated the scheduled then new production side. established in germany 2 of them now the production sides in belgium so the production is actually taking place in europe more or less under the control of the commission and this is a plus for buy a new phase of cause but you also have to see that as as any guy is not out of the business says and it is road light seen the biggest supply of vaccines against kobe 2000000000 dozes alone this year so this does apply for europe but not for the rest of the world a systemic of will play a very important role in this campaign ben thank you very much for bringing us up

date there that was our correspondent brussels bad week out. now to turkey which is currently under a nationwide lockdown to reduce a surge in coronavirus cases and deaths people there have been under orders to stay at home for a 3 week period until may 17th well that applies to everyone except for and tourists they're exempt from the curfew free to walk the streets and see the sights as our correspondent yuliya reports. this is eastern boles most visited tourist attraction but hardly anyone is here these days. there is a very relaxed atmosphere instead of the usual crowds of thousands it's not only like this at the hadia sophia but everywhere in the city the few tourists who are here right now pretty much have is simple to themselves. this isn't fair and.

there's a good time to be. we don't have many travelling opportunities from the crane at the moment and istanbul and turkey is one of the many countries that are open for us that's why we decided to come here after like a year. to lock down is a great time to visit istanbul the city is much calmer now under normal circumstances it's very crowded but that is there. but while those on vacation are happy many locals are annoyed they have to adhere to a strict curfew until meet mate. they can only leave their homes for grocery shopping and other essential needs and going to work requires a special permit. to unfair my kids are asking why are the tourists allowed to be outside while we are stuck at home. he

stayed here the tourists know that we are a high risk country i'm fine. with them coming because they know the coronavirus situation here. we are threatened with have to fines if we leave our homes but the tourists can walk around freely that's not fair but there is nothing we can do about it. turkey has one of the highest coronavirus infection rates in europe and that's why many people here support a strict lockdown they just don't understand why tourists are exempt but the government is trying everything to keep turkey attractive as a holiday destination because the economy urgently needs a successful summer season. bringing down the number of infections without driving foreign visitors the way many of those who earn their living from tourism think that's a good strategy. like the souvenir is sophia who have barely earned anything for months. the pandemic has ruined the tourism industry here but

as long as there are still some visitors there is hope at the moment there are just a few but we are happy about every single one is stand bull can accommodate many guests but 90 percent of the city's capacity is not being used right now. none of the sellers here expect the holiday season like before the pandemic. but many are hoping that a bit more life returns to the hugin sophia once the lockdown is over. it's been $100.00 days now since the military in myanmar staged a coup and detained civilian leader aung san suu kyi the time since has been marked by protests violence and uncertainty today that she is attending another court hearing by a video link she faces a number of charges the most serious of which could see her jailed for 14 years since the 2 aunts also she has been under house arrest and has been denied the

a background hum of bombings and death this attack has been met with shock and in comprehension. she was 15 years old and in the 8th grade. she was very intelligent and didn't miss a single day of school. yesterday her mother told her not to go to school but she said no mother i will go today not tomorrow. that's what she did and today we're burying her here. multiple blasts had gone off outside the science school in weston couple as that lessons ended for the day many of the children killed were on their way home to break their ramadan fast with their families. and the violence comes a week the u.s. and nato troops began their final exit of afghanistan. some fear that could leave people here facing more scenes like this one as militant groups and afghan security
