such. claim. this is g.w. news live from berlin and the clashes at a jerusalem flashpoint hundreds are injured as palestinians face off with colin usat. the unrest heating up ahead of a march by its really hard liners throughout the city the u.n. security council will hold and i moved into session to discuss the violence. also coming up soaring corona virus infections in turkey how focused on just strict orders to stay at home but the lockdown does not apply to every walk. and one

woman's landmark lawsuit over the harm done to civilians by agent orange during the vietnam war but a french court's ruling may have dashed her focus for justice. plus 8 nasa spacecraft 6 long journey back to earth if spent 6 months researching the surface of the asteroid bad news scientists hope that the probe is carrying clues on how life started out our. welcome to the program. emergency services in jerusalem say that hundreds of people have been injured in fresh clashes between palestinians and israeli police. fighting broke out inside the mosque with police fire exhaust stun grenades and

tear gas of palestinian demonstrators it follows days of protest over plans to evict palestinian residents from east jerusalem to make room for jewish settlers today tensions are particularly high as israel marks to roussillon day the anniversary of when israeli troops captured east jerusalem in 1967. correspondent tanya kramer is joining us now from jerusalem tanya what's the situation there right now. while the tensions persist in and around the old city and of course on this holy site they had before the temple mount over the most sensitive side here in jerusalem and according to the palace you read crèche and over 300 palestinians way injured in this confrontations that we have seen here over the course of the day on the police side

israeli police also dozens of police officers where injured and now of course those tension could further escalate as the plec marjoe parade is set to take place this afternoon in the old city and what is expected as the day progresses you think i mean you've highlighted a little bit of that there are there is more potential for this to split isn't there. right this flag march of the jerusalem day in itself is an annual event and it's considered to be one of the most tense days in to recent m. it happens every year but of course this year has to be seen a lot of tensions and confrontations over the past 3 weeks there is concern that this could lead to more confrontations between palestinians palestinian residents and israeli forces in and around the old city now we understand that israeli

security officials have warned to let the march go ahead and this original route of why is that so important because this leads nationalist right wing israelis usually that are taking part in this march through the gate in east jerusalem which leads us the main gate that leads into the old city and then this march goes through the muslim quarter a palestinian neighborhood it's a march that is seen as deliberate. provocation as a deliberate provocation for palestinian residents as much as are celebrating the cut off is to resume in the 1967 and palestinians of course are under occupation here and they want to see is tourism as a step future capital of their future state and tanya i mean as as you've highlighted the clashes have been going on for weeks now they have misused by plans to evict residents of east jerusalem to make one for jewish settlers you had

a look at some cases let's have a look and get your reaction there after. a cool it's 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 palestinians we are 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 or you. hate 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's going to do. almost 100

years of. it jews 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 they have 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 here piers there are no other legal options for the family. in the morning which would then one day 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 makes it difficult from school and university in case they picked us and that's what we need to take with us and. at sunset 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 the. back over the homes it's like a symbol of course at stake in the israeli palestinian conflict. and we're back now with tanya kramer and time you know just to look at that case that we're talking about there for example any decisions on whether or not these addictions will indeed take place have been postponed why. but from what we understand the israeli high court of justice has postponed this

hearing today which was actually postponed from last week already following a request by the israeli attorney general he apparently wants to weigh in on that case so that means for now the families will be able to stay in their homes and the court order to set a new date for a new hearing within 30 days what it doesn't do however it doesn't cancel actually the decision by a lower court which had also rise to the. that was basically done already in february. in favor of settlers to take over those properties so it is for the moment a postponement and it's a question you know whether this can lower the escalation that we have seen here also which is also based of course on this particular conflict tanya kramer and to rosalynn thank you. and let's have a look at some other stories making news the doctor who 1st treated alexina volley

after he was poisoned with a nerve agent has been found alive alexander mccall roski has been reported missing or rather have been reporting missing on saturday after he failed to return from a hunting expedition in siberia his disappearance caused concern as to other doctors who treated no volley have died already this year. me on mars deposed leader aung sang suu kyi has been ordered to appear in court in person later this month she faces a number of charges the most serious of which could see her jailed for 14 years the court appearance will be the 1st time that she has been seen in public since the military coup on february 1st. germany is making the one shot corona virus vaccine by johnson and johnson available to all adults the country's health minister had previously recommended only people over 60 should receive the jap

because of rare blood clots soon in some recipients the move is expected to help germany speed up its vaccination program. and turkey is currently under a nationwide lockdown to reduce a surge in corona virus cases and deaths people have been under orders to stay at home for a 3 week period until may 17th that applies to everyone. except foreign tourists they are exempt from the curfew free to walk the streets and see the sights as our correspondent reports. this is eastern bull's 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 hardiest sophia but everywhere in the city the few tourists

who are here right now pretty much have to themselves. this is their. sights there's a good time to be tourists we don't have many travel 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 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 different but while those on vacation 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. public it's unfair my kids are asking

why are the tourists allowed to be outside while we are stuck at home. he's maybe 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 gives sophia who have barely earned anything for months. you know this if there was a threat to 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 istanbul 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 holy day season like before the pandemic. but many are hoping that a bit more life returns to the hugin sophia one thing the lockdown is over. a french court has dismissed a landmark lawsuit against the makers of agent orange the court ruled that it did not have jurisdiction to judge a case involving the wartime actions of the u.s. government the suit aimed to hold the companies who sold the toxic are beside to

the u.s. military during the vietnam war responsible for the injuries that it cost. as we noted 62 in 171 american warplanes dropped over 40000000 liters of agent orange over south vietnam in an operation code named ranch hand it aimed it aimed to deprive viet cong fighters of food and hiding places but the spray contained a toxic chemical researchers estimate that between 2 and 5000000 vietnamese were exposed to agent orange as were 2500000 americans who were deployed in vietnam it's been linked to thousands of deaths from cancer as well as birth defects. met the woman who is leading the lawsuit seeking justice for herself and her daughter. for. me my 1st child was born with a heart defect. and of course she was not able to survive. she

left me when she was only 17 months old my 1st child. i've always blamed myself for being a bad mother because i couldn't protect my child. truncheon young lost her daughter to an illness caused by agent orange during the vietnam war back in the 1960 since seventy's u.s. troops sprayed 40000000 liters of the highly toxic harborside over vietnam the objective was to defoliate the chuang goal to prevent the enemy from hiding as well as destroying their crops during the war truncheon yacht was a teacher and john list following the communist resistance when she herself became affected. i saw a plane circling. when it was gone it left

a sort of quite close behind it. and then this cloud descended quite rapidly and there i was standing covered me. i was soaked with the source of liquid. sticky liquid so i was suffocating. a full. 2 days she lives in a suburb of paris the 79 year old is taking the company said produced agent orange to court 14 chemical giants including u.s. multinational dow chemical and monsanto now owned by germany's bio. if i don't bring this case to tragedy surrounding agent. all range over remain buried in the dust of the past it will be forgotten. even if there were about 4000000 victims in vietnam yet. in all that

you'll do. it is a historic case so far only military veterans have been compensated for damage his to their health but not generations of vietnamese civilians the french justice system allows civil cases over actions that took place abroad but you have to be a french citizen and directly affected like truncheon you know she has to take medication for multiple health issues including cancer and diabetes she says this case is not about herself though. others of either lost their legs their feet or their arms or they have marks everywhere they have serious disabilities. but they're courageous it means that. despite her advanced age she is committed to seeing this through to the end because this fight

she says is going to be the last fight of her life and we are joined now by marina strauss the correspondent who met with the complaint and has been monitoring the court proceedings marina as we see there there's one woman taking over a dozen multinational companies to court now the court says that the case is in investable why. said that it did not have to stiction to judge a case that involves the us government and military actions of the us government and that's interesting because trying to know the lady was just saw in the report she didn't know the u.s. government should sued monsanto and other like chemical giants who produced agent orange so the court basically backed them in saying you're not responsible for this it's the us government. you spoke with the complete after the verdict what did she say. she's

a very optimistic person that's how i like how i met her and in this. paris where she where she lives and also when i talked to her on the phone and she said yeah ok i'm i'm sad but i prepared for this mentally and i want to keep on fighting and she wants to appeal now she wants to keep bringing this this case but the only thing she was disappointed about is that the courts in everywhere she knew where she lives basically took all the arguments of the companies and accepted them as they were not not hers. some reports say that the chemical companies offered compensation to the complains what more do we know about that it was not the companies that's what she told me it was basically the courts who offered a negotiation process but that would also have meant that this case would then have ended and that's absolutely not what she wanted what she wanted she wants she says it's not about the money it's not about myself i'm very sick i'm 79 years old i

might only have a couple of years to live if it's it's about the fact that these things that happened back in the vietnam war are deemed unlawful that's what she wants and that's why she wants to keep fighting marina strauss in brussels thank you. a nasa asteroid probe is due to begin its return to earth today the space agency says that it will take around 2 and a half years for the o. cyrus rex to make it back home it is carrying a precious one kilogram cargo of dust and matter vacuumed from the asteroid surface scientists hope that the cosmic rubble will provide some clues about how life began on earth. the asteroid named venue gives researchers a window into the past. it's about 500 meters wide and composed

of the same material that shaped our planet earth. and that's what makes been to such a great find. every 6 years its orbital path brings it close to earth. even a small change in its flight path could result in a collision course. asteroids have changed earth's development about 4000000000 years ago they rained down on the young planets asteroids actually brought things like water and organic chemistry the chemistry that were based on to earth of the 1st place so when you go out and you see what this was like billions of years ago is that going to give us a better window into how how we got here how life started on earth are some of the chemicals in your body some of the water in your body today did they originally get delivered to earth through asteroids. in the space probe set out to answer these questions after landing on the asteroid it spent 500 days mapping the surface the

probe also researched its inner structure. the data showed how different pockets of warm air on the surface influenced bennett was flightpath this was vital information in case the asteroid ever threaten to crash into earth. a robotic arm was designed especially for the probe it was installed in october 2020 last year the probe edged close enough to bend to allow the arm to be shot a half meter into the asteroid surface pressurized nitrogen gas was set free and off matter was shaken up that the probe was able to catch pebbles and dust after churning up the material it was vacuumed up by the spacecraft get away thruster the robotic arm placed this collection in a special capsule then in april the probe sent photos documenting the location of the sample collection now the probe is returning to earth when it gets close it

will drop the capsule researchers around the world look forward to examining the contents. the perfect kind of mission of discovery that many of us have i mean we saw apollo in the the men walking on the moon returning samples but doing this all robotically in a place that would be very hard to send woman or man kind of makes it all very real the precious cargo was set to land in utah in september 2023. and let's get more now on the mission we are joined by a call from the d.l.r. institute of planetary research and welcome to the program we have heard that the cyrus racks will take 2 and a half years to return to earth with this precious cargo and now tell us a little bit more about what scientists are hoping hoping to learn from the asteroid sample. well a lot actually and. we might only hope to find answers to this quite sample from question so esther it's like when you are basically left overs from the formation

of the solar system so we hope that some of the mineral fragments that we might find inside and they could be older than that so the smiths and some of the microscopic grains in this embers could actually be the same ones that in the early ages kind of spewed from dying stars and then eventually coalesced in order to make the sun and the planets in the solar system that are as it serves are basically bent over and the sepals from ben and that's basically a time capsule from the very early sets of our system and they were telling us. about long say mysteries and questions that we have about the origins of our solar system and maybe also about the sources of water not going to want to use a nose so fascinating you know it has been evil to get to easy excuse me to get this material are collecting the asteroids what was a really complex actually so just what was through you know what challenges the mission had to overcome. actually there were quite some surprises.

the mission had from 1st base of ations and that was basically the only information that the team had early on finding mission and the team expected more of a generally smooth surface and on your few large orders under surface of and the spacecraft was actually designed according to that beds actually when spacecraft got there and we had the 1st images from the surface it turned out that they were not mobile those on the surface and the surface was about more rugged. and the space present for us so the mission stands for some deflection needed to be adjusted according to that and that also meant that there are margin or the margin for error for the very tricky descending maneuver jansha good to the surface was up more complicated and not much changing them and that she had really interesting effect on the end. sorry i just wanted to quickly ask you because we understand the you're on the. 2 team which brought samples back to earth from another asteroid

back in december what lessons have been learned there so far any exciting discoveries for example. yeah you have to see that that material actually going to get from a source is so precious that you don't kickstart or read away jump into the observations there or into the analysis but we do have some very early results from examinations of a very small part of the police and tokyo have done already at the japanese space agency so one of the very early results is that measurements show that material must have been subjected to very very high temperatures we're talking temperatures which is around in the order of nature just so you had 300 degree celsius and that cannot come from. from the heat from the sun alone so actually that suggests that in china the trade related and or down to pollution most affected when it was still out of its lot of power and body while and that would have also that which water

that might have been there that's really really fascinating stuff nicole smith from the d.l.r. institute of planetary research in berlin breaking it down for us what's at stake here what has been discovered so far we really appreciate it. thanks. i'm with that now you're up to date on d.w. news i'm sarah kelly in berlin thanks for watching. i'm going to.

india a small conspicuous rescued the story office. is one to inspire consummation is all over the world they were once hunted traded. disjointed today to treat only the features of funny as a place of all out to be coming.

home. in mexico many portions of lush us turn out in the morning right now climate change mean different office. your. face is much less when full in just one week. how much work can really get. we still have time to work i'm doing a little. subset. of subscribe and nearly as likely as. traffic it's. a lot of. extra gravity to help. the literary glitter glitter. the fight against prejudice i don't hold cable like i did nothing and just dancing

up. for the. little stores on the. 17. of these 40 bucks for this incriminating google what right do you have species called the amazing view of galaxies extending in the sky full of stars and like these that someone does i'll be coming in using any of it and it's not only the biodiversity that is true but also help this week we look at how we can restore balance which we need and. welcome to india. let's

start today's show with the big eyed slender loris a primate need to have to the sub continent discovered in the mid 17 hundreds these nocturnal animals have been considered magical in parts of the me and because of these there's a grave threat to their lives not to mention the imbalance in the ecosystem it will cause if they were wiped out all the musicians in that he didn't and now coming forward to protect. it is extremely rare to see this tiny nocturnal the slender lotus live in the branches of trees and like monkeys they don't jump from branch to branch but move slowly and carefully and being extremely sharp by nature they're really spotted in daylight. despite that one species of slender nortons is

classified as indentured. boredom or the model of the good god now you don't want the world at all and then you have particularly a little they live in groups you know but come out to hunt alone at night. go on average the only be about 300 grams and don't run fast you know and out of the really what about instead what i would really move with liberation i would they really want when they come out at night to hunt for food or water they sometimes come down to the ground and cost. a little bit of work i remember one of the one of the more knots of bikes and cars feel to see them in the dark and being the slow animal and they often. cross when you go oh yeah girl going to get 3 what a good video of it i'll mail id were day and every hour or action to not only do it . although they are protected under the indian wildlife protection act their numbers have declined for

a range of reasons including climate change and have a talk. sometimes they're supposed to be leaves. endemic to the eastern gods the. ones found great numbers from southern on that up and they do the southernmost tip of india today only exists across the scattered areas. i have been has been involved in efforts to safeguard the slender lot as for the boss 60. he's with the feed strikes a nonprofit organization based in southern india the program focused on raising event as well as creating or dunnit of sources of income for those who previously on money from hunting the norse. the slender loris is always been linked with various local believes they may be associated with black magic are considered a bad omen for pregnant women but they're also used in traditional medicine as a result this little animal has been hunted for years.

you're not going to love it. in the past children used to catch your races and tie a lot around their necks so that they could leave it there. being a small animal the concept of that kind of abuse and so did i i take it back when we did a study in one area we found there were only 4 slender loris is left but square kilometer. poaching has been a big issue up until a few years ago. belonged to a google village regularly for which to look for a quick buck. you had 10 years ago delivered many mortar landed a lot of people were asking so we would hunt them at night following their deflecting i guess the weather when you were there was. on a very of that if a caution is these men would hand over the captured animals to middlemen and born

in the animal training most of them one from the many of the animals with or illegally on the international market notice is often exported for research purposes in medical labs similar to lab rats. since learning from the and you'll see it's not it's just benefit of approx and my life we have left poaching and real life dockets that we no longer allow poaching if any most traders come here we informed of what is department immediately on the media. with an average length of 20 to 25 centimeters this small mammal plays an important crude in a species of biodiversity feeding on the nectar several kinds of fluff slender lotuses act as fallen into use and sea disposal. helping to regenerate block life throughout their habitat. through the effort of the seeds truss i allude is a forest has become a sanctuary with its fringe religion just as more than 8000 acres in size

a 5th heaven for the lawyers. the very men of this district also play a crucial role in many ways they are the backbone of the conservation program they depend on produce from the forest for their livelihood or the last few years close to 50 of them and from the local area have planted hundreds of native trees and shrubs both to help raise the water and to provide more canopy for their small friends today the vermin of our lower are also well trained in sustainable harvest practices yami of assets in the love. in the past we used to pick up all the turkey babies we didn't know that line from 4 sides could help groom trees . only that we have begun we leave the rest in the food forest down that new trees begin to be crude as variants all high up but it won't be until we get one part of

the law. today most of the local budget the blue growers have switched to organic farming realizing that the widespread use of best defines also killing the losses as they mainly feed on insects. today boast 15 to 20 slender lotuses. that's 5 times more than just a decade ago attracting the attention of conservationists around the world for the success a story. for many of us artificial lights changed our lives my home for instance like many homes and cities has some like me making light with which i can work read and countless other things once the sun sets in the evening but is it all positive the energy needed for lighting is often not from renewable sources and contribute to the carbon dioxide emissions causing climate change and that's not the only negative impact what can we do to combat light pollution let's

take a deeper look at this problem i have never ever seen anything like this obviously you have an earthquake really a magnitude 6.6 earthquake. in 1904 los angeles was hit by a strong earthquake it cost chaos on the streets and the blackouts you see as you look out your window it's probably fish dark right now during the blackout many people called observatories and even 911 not because the earth was shaking but because they saw a giant silvery cloud in the sky that cloud was in fact the milky way countless stars they had never seen before you maybe haven't heard much about it yet but light pollution doesn't really consume stars it seriously affects our health and the environment. turns a proportional changes. the world the introduction of this late into the night is one of the most dramatic changes that we made to the press here. this is because of . the research is artificial light emissions from cities and their impact today

more than 80 percent of the world's population is no longer experience dark skies for example nights are so bright in singapore that people can't adapt their vision for darkness today scientists are warning of the dangers of artificial light at night. it didn't look like me and that's when i decided it was us maybe. this is nina's desire activists in india his goal reduced night by scientists now consider artificial light at night a form of pollution. very we're tired of element of. multicellular organisms plants and animals that vertebrates urban mammals and primates and humans very death hold ready her there was this constant thing those coming from the environment this is the time this is not a time this is those are. areas that have experienced drugs like pollution

that signal is perfect the dream has been dramatic we create. industrialisation over the past century has led to assertion artificial illumination so we see that most countries in the world are becoming brighter this has accelerated in recent decades particularly in asian cities all violet dots on this map show new light sources installed in india between 20122016 there are various components of light pollution there's clear that's when extremely bright light causes visual discomfort . and clutter imitating groups of bright lights. like trees pass when night falls with not needed or wanted and sky glow when artificial light brightens the night sky over cities. instance in oregon. so you would you know you can you can see the aren't understood or. are combined with

a lot of absolution this is the view from the u.s. apartment in mumbai he lives in the 7th floor with his family and is literally in the spotlight the lights from nearby streets and the stadium shine directly into their apartment flight used to your to late program or sometimes. and the more i used to get because nobody liked you know bright lights coming into my. bedroom and it differently my poor me because i could not. and sleep masts fail to improve the situation so in 2018 he complained to the authorities claiming rights to darkness at 1st they ignored him even though studies link artificial light to eye injuries sleeplessness obesity and maybe even the pressure some studies of chip workers have indicated that exposure to light at night could increase the risk of breast cancer but why there is a hormone. that are brain makes called militant in which barrels as

a signal of darkness. when we don't get that hormone when we don't produce that hormone because we're exposed to so much later apartment or the shift worker. then the whole working of this whole illogical system becomes problematic. sleep digestion and blood pressure are regulated by this biological clock. the problem is not only brightness but also color blue light from phone displace screens and any disease is similar to daylight while lights in general can suppress the production of miller tone and blue light from screens and a disk can do so more strongly that's why experts at harvard recommend not using bright screens or any delights for 2 to 3 hours before going to bed or switching to dimmer and warmer shades of light. the light at night doesn't only threaten our

health there is tremendous change because increased brightness at night time is new. this is a bill from the life in its institute of freshwater ecology and inland fisheries in berlin she researches the impact of light on ecosystems live it's not unusual. that corals birds and many other species of wildlife struggle when it's light at night where it used to be dark freshly hedged turtle street make their way into the sea but lights near the shore can mislead them they had inland and died artificial light at night contributes to the decline in insect populations one study says the decline amounts to 100000000000 every summer in germany alone such light also contributes to a decrease in nocturnal pollination activity and u.k. study found that where there's nighttime lighting trees but earlier and lose their lives later than elsewhere all these various of facts and different creatures and

plans together affect the environment as a whole so could take your skin maybe humph. other. species. and it's disturbs that a 3 day great relationship. changes because it's with cheaper and more efficient light sources. the world is getting brighter every year the international dark sky association estimates that one 3rd of all outdoor lighting in the u.s. is wasted fulfilling no purpose. as fossil fuels are still the main source of energy this contributes quite unnecessarily to air pollution and climate change so what can we do as individuals it might sound obvious but turn on lights only when and where you need it and then turn off again. that a motion sensor turns on and off or you use lamp shades for instance to block

unwanted stray lights use lights with a warmer tone they can be just as efficient and lower the intensity when possible dimming is the magic word here. entire cities even entire countries can adopt such solutions france for example has been sky beams and in some places said times when lights in public spaces have to be dimmed or switched off as well as keeping the brightness of lamps and ecological the sensitive areas. i'm afraid back people will be amazed this is as he gets you an annual if he needs that need to be all over the next rules and regulations. and. after protests from citizens like militia desired by politicians have signaled they're open to reducing like pollution they have called on the indian ministry of environment to implement laws

in.
