to the palestinian red crescent over 300 palestinians way injured in those confrontations that we have seen here over the course of the day on the police side israeli police also dozens of police officers injured and now of course those tension could further escalate as states and the like 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 as well it isn't there. right this flag march or the jerusalem day in itself is an annual event and it's considered to be one of the most tense days in jerusalem it happens every year but of course this year's be seen a lot of tensions and confrontations over the past 3 weeks there is concern that
3:04 pm
this could lead to more confrontations between palestinians and residents and israeli forces in and around the old city now we understand that israeli security officials have been warned to let the march go ahead and this original route why is that so important because this leads nationalist right wing israelis usually that are taking part in this march through the demo school skate in east jerusalem which leads us to 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 a celebrating the cut off is to resume in the 1967 and palestinians of course are under occupation here and they want to see is truce and step future capital of
3:05 pm
their future state and tanya i mean as as you've highlighted the clashes have been going on for weeks now they have been fueled by plans to evict residents of east jerusalem to make one for jewish settlers you had a look at at some cases let's have a look and get your reaction there after. a cool 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 but. 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 you. know we don't need to hate this part of the house has already been taken over by to resettle as a decade ago just like across the street where setlist moved into this house they
3:06 pm
claim parts of this neighborhood is actually their land and have waged a lengthy court battle against a family. going to do. almost 100 deals. a jews lived. and jews own the land. nothing changed we had 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're very 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 last properties. and that's the supreme court allows a european if there are no other legal options for the family. then with
3:07 pm
a it's very painful a very tiring psychologically speaking we're exhausted each one of us has packed evac with the most important papers the passport identity cards anything important next or to focus from school and university in case they victimise and that's what we need to take with us and it should initiate other. 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 thank you. and we're back now with tanya crave aren't on you know just to look at that case that we're talking about there for example i mean decisions on whether or not these evictions will indeed take place have been postponed why.
3:08 pm
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 sport it doesn't do that however it doesn't cancel actually the decision by a lower court which had also rise to the dictionary that was basically done already in a february. in favor of settlers to take over those properties so it is for the moment a postponement and it's a question of 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

the u.s. military during the vietnam war responsible for the injuries that it caused now between 19621971 american warplanes struck over 40000000 liters of agent orange over south vietnam in an operation code named ranch hand it is 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 has been linked to thousands of deaths from cancer as well as birth defects. met a woman who is leading the lawsuit seeking justice for herself and her daughter. my 1st child was born with a heart defect. and of course she was not able to survive. she

a sort of white cloud 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. 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. will see 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
3:14 pm
that. it is a historic case so far only military veterans have been compensated for damages 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 are courageous it means that. despite her advanced age she is committed to seeing this through to the end because this fight
3:15 pm
she says is going to be the last fight of her life and we are joined now by marina strauss 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 the best of all why. said that it didn't have to or 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 we just saw in the report she didn't assume the u.s. government she sued monsanto and other like chemical giants who produced agent orange so the court basically backed them in saying you're never sponsible for this it's the u.s. government. you spoke with the complete after the verdict what did she say.
3:16 pm
she's a very optimistic person that's how i like how i met her in. paris where she was she lives and also when i talk to her on the phone and she said yeah ok i'm. prepared for this mentally and i want to keep on fighting and she wants to appeal now she wants to keep bring this case but the only thing she was disappointed about is that the courts in everywhere she it 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 offer compensation to the complains what more do we know about that it wasn't 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
3:17 pm
might only have a couple of years to live if 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. even straus in brussels thank you. turkey is currently under a nationwide lockdown to reduce a surge in coronavirus 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 to see the sights as you leave 100 reports. and this is establish 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
3:18 pm
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 a time to. sights there's a good time to be tourists we don't have many travel in the 1st unit just from the moment 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 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
3:19 pm
a special permit. it's unfair my kids are asking why are the tourists allowed to be outside while we are stuck at home. 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 had threatened would have to find 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 some a season. bringing down the number of infections without dry. i've been following
3:20 pm
visitors the way many of those who earn their living from tourism think that's a good strategy. like the 70 othello's need a hug is sophia who have barely earned anything for months. of this if there was a 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 done both can accommodate many guests but 90 percent of the city's capacity is not being used right now. and none of the sellers here expect the holy days season like before the penn demick. but many are hoping that a bit more life returns to the hugin sophia once the lockdown is over. the united states has declared a regional emergency in that southeastern states due to a cyber ransom attack which has forced the biggest fuel pipeline operators to shut
3:21 pm
down colonial pipelines main fuel delivery line has been closed since friday it normally carries almost half of the east coast fuel supply the company stopped operations after hackers infiltrated its computer system authorities have eased restrictions on fuel delivery is by truck as it seeks to avoid shortages and price hikes. let's get more on this we're joined by reporter jill jill rai how big is this cyber attack it sounds massive it's being called the law just disruption to critical infrastructure by hackers in u.s. history and we can actually see the physical impact by having a look a colonial pipelines own distribution map which we can show you now now as we can see the pipeline stretches from texas in the west across more than a dozen states and reaches new jersey in the east now this is the region that has been placed under an emergency order where it's also been allowed that speed fuel delivery by road can be speeded up so far that hasn't been any major disruptions
3:22 pm
but this is now the 4th day of this shutdown and there's no end in sight now this all started last week when hackers breached colonial pipelines computer systems they stole a bunch of data they froze up the network and then they demanded a ransom and in a precautionary measure the company shut down its own pipeline and we actually don't know how much the company is being extorted for however. that's really really interesting who's to blame well so far u.s. media outlets are pointing the finger at a group called dioxide which is a really interesting example of a highly professional life hacker operation that's being called ransomware as a corporation dockside actually put out a press release last year and now i'm seeing their formation we can show you that now because it's really interesting it makes this group almost sound like a reputable service listen to this based on our principles we will not attack the following targets medicine education nonprofit organizations the government sector we only attack companies that can pay the requested amount we do not want to kill
3:23 pm
your business they even offer a customer a chat service they say they can connect to victims to dot a recovery companies to help them during the explosion process and they say they make donations to charity so who's behind dockside well we don't actually know us media outlets so focusing on the fact that dark side is previously only targeted western companies rather than russian ones and therefore maybe they're based in russia and also they communicate sometimes in russia but that's pure speculation we may never know who is behind oxide or whether indeed dockside is behind the colonial pipeline and i mean this is an attack on really a different scale than just walk us through i mean how common are cyber attacks well cyber security experts say there's actually been a huge uptick during the coronavirus pandemic interestingly enough because one of the main ways that hackers are getting into companies systems is via remote access software which has been installed to help people work from home during the pandemic so if seen an increasing number of attacks on schools universities and hospitals including one here in germany which led to the 1st known death by ransomware when
3:24 pm
a patient was turned away from a hospital in dusseldorf that had been shut down by a ransomware attack and later unfortunately died there is a big industry here of hackers you can pay to hack a company if you don't know how and on the other side of security analysts who offer to make your company more secure for a high price of course there's money to be made all round it really makes you realize that we're living in the disturb your future that we were once warned about absolutely. is reporting thank you. thousands of people have flocked to a volcano in iceland to catch a glimpse of the all inspiring eruptions foreign tourists are among the sightseers even with the country under partial lockdown due to the pen demick the volcano's one steady flow has changed to a spectacular geyser display now it's visible from the capital reykjavik around 60 kilometers away. lover spurts out of fishes in the fog
