well we're joined now by our correspondent in jerusalem tanya kramer tony what's the situation there in jerusalem at the ban it. well as you said confrontations have broken out early this morning on what is known on the reef or temple mount with apparently a lot of young palestinians staying overnight on the compound to prevent those hardline. marches israelis to enter the compound now the israeli police are saying they entered the compound to disperse the crowds and that's when the confrontation started with stones and barricades being thrown from the palestinian side and the israeli police firing stun grenades and tear gas now this is of course one of the most sensitive sites and you could say in the
11:03 am
city it's a holy site for muslims and jews alike and many palestinians see that you know as an absolute red line that what's going on there and the palestinian red crescent said you know numbers rising over 200 injured over 150 needing medical attention and on the palestinian police side with police is saying 9 officers have been injured. is really a national search through march through the muslim quarter of the old city there in jerusalem later today as part of the jerusalem day events how much potential is there for the violence to escalate. well this national nationalist flak march happens every year it's an annual event it doesn't come as a surprise it's one of the tensest days you could say in jerusalem and this year of
11:04 am
course given you know the circumstances here in the city where we've seen you know several flashpoints in jerusalem even israeli security officials have warned that this could further escalate tensions and they have suggested to at least change the route which this march is taking why is this were to controversial because those nationalists. marching through palestinian neighborhoods so usually enter through damascus gate which is one of the main gates and the next is to produce a limb then going through what is known to be the muslim quarter that's a palestinian neighborhood and that is of course seen as a deliberate provocation by many palestinians the residents and shopkeepers to have to you know closed businesses for a day it's usually very tense because nationalists there they are celebrating the victory of the caps off 67 and the reunification for palestinians this is not
11:05 am
a day to celebrate they say they are under occupation here and they want to see. one day as the capital of their state. plans to a big palestinian residents to make room for jewish settlers he was explaining let's take a look at her. as 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 shake shadow. writing settlers could soon move in here. this is. the owners of the land we lived here legally and. everything is documented legally. and they come here and occupy the place and they want to occupy what remains of the neighborhood as.
11:06 am
this part of the house has already been taken over by to reset less 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 waged a lengthy court battle against the family. almost a 100 years. it just lived. and jews own the land. nothing changed the shy 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 their every settled 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 and
11:07 am
here appears there are no other legal options for the family. it's very painful very tiring psychologically speaking we're exhausted each one of us has packed evac with the most important papers passport identity cards anything important like said to focus from school and university in case they victimise and that's what we need to take with us. at sunset residents and supporters come together to break their ramadan fast soon after skirmishes break out at some point riot police harshly dispersed the crowd arresting some of the palestinian protesters the eviction by. over the homes it's like a symbol of what's at stake in the israeli palestinian conflict. chinese families like the one we just saw in your report there and waiting for
11:08 am
a long time for a court decision about whether they can be a big or not that decision understand has been postponed why. well we understand that the israeli attorney general got involved to. postpone and to weigh in on the case and what this doesn't mean so now the court has set a new date and 30 days but it doesn't mean that the families are off the hook to so to speak because the original decision by the lower courts to authorize the pending diction. claims by jewish organization is still standing so it's a brief perspired for the families but of course that doesn't mean that this makes an issue of the table for that. tony thank you very much for now that was our jerusalem correspondent tanya cramer. now to afghanistan

11:12 am
correspondent yulia hub reports. this is established 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 hardness of fear but everywhere in the city the few tourists who are here right now pretty much have to themselves. this is their super and. there's a good time to be. we don't have many trouble in the 1st 2 just 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 lockdown is a great time to visit istanbul the city is much calmer now under normal

circumstances it's very crowded but that is that. but while those on the cation are happy many locals are annoyed they have to adhere to a strict curfew until mid may. they can only leave their homes for grocery shopping and other essential needs and going to work requires a special permit. it's unfair my kids are asking why are the tourists allowed to be outside while we are stuck at home. 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
11:14 am
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 summit 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 70th is sofia who have barely earned anything for months. this if that was so but 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 expects a holy day season like before the pandemic. but many are hoping that
