morning. by choice the peace card because given the way to transfer the troops. and in the last moments and i want. to talk. israel's war both inside and outside its borders vigilante violence putting neighbor against neighbor jews speedie arabs arabs attacking jews there's turmoil on the streets of israel's mixed towns burned out cars curfews lynchings defiled synagogues vicious scenes that can't be on seen violence on the home front violence from outside israel and the palestinians are on the precipice while a rock this is the day. orchestrating terror

got its greatest shot up most of my customers are arabs or jews with that makes together this whole time. it was never like this not on this scale never. will we need to live here together coexistence through their eyes we are on the verge of an abyss the home i never felt like there was something wrong they used to come up and try to talk to me in arabic so there are people and it's just. heartbreaking what has the internet. and also on the day can you get ready to ditch your mask if you were fully vaccinated americans can shut their mass if they had all their shots while new c.d.c. guidance announces a big change easing into a mask restrictions a major turning point but many wonder how will this be enforced if you're fully vaccinated. and can take your mask off you've earned the right to do

something americans are known for all around the world green another the smile. with a smile. gaza is burning the israeli army pounding the beleaguered territory launching powerful air strikes and ground attacks meanwhile hamas militants test israel's limits with a stream of rockets in several israeli cities the conflict is now fueling mob violence in neighborhoods where arab and jewish residents normally live peacefully side by side the police presence has been stepped up and more than 400 people have been arrested dawn broke unloads to reveal the carnage of the night before the streets littered with burnt vehicles and debris the fires had raged long into the night. which. was explosions drawing out the firefighters worked the smoke cleared to reveal the charred husk of

a synagogue another victim of the city's tit for tat apprise ols earlier surveillance footage showed a mob of palestinian youths attacking an orthodox jew. for days there have been severe clashes between arabs and israeli police the prime minister says it has to stop. we give 100 percent backing to the police to the border forces and other security forces to restore law and order to israel's cities we will not tolerate manichean but some fear that israel is heading for civil war. the royal couple but it was never like this with at this scale never. used to be small crowds small fires. we need to live here together coexistence we need to be partners to each other at. this hour of ice cream store in but was vandalized by a right wing jewish mold its owner says she was shocked by the violence. caught up

most of my customers are arabs or jews or we've been mixed together this whole time i never felt like there was something wrong they used to come up and try to talk to me in arabic that was normal i never felt anything wrong i don't want to have that enough that. many in these cities are just hoping the unrest will end soon. they'll want is raid was carried fifty's we isolate the cell phone of people and it's just so. heartbreaking what happened on the internet if it happens again put an end to the conflict on israel's streets appears a long way off prime minister netanyahu has warned that violence is likely to increase in the coming days. and now some announces the rising tensions between israelis and palestinians and a deepening intercommunal violence playing out on the streets of israel i'd like to

welcome now steven cook from the council on foreign relations he's the author of false dawn protests and democracy and violence in the mid east sir very warm welcome to d.w. news good to see you are you surprised by what is happening and how quickly everything has deteriorated. not really given the rising amount of tension in jerusalem over the course of the last month. coming together of a number of flash points in the city. and course hamas trying to take advantage of this in with the 1st volley of rockets on jerusalem which of course the israeli government knows really government would be able to. gauge and restraint so this is something that unfortunately has escalated very quickly but really not a surprise what is driving this latest cycle of violence. was a little too it was a number of issues but the one that has gained the most attention is the pending a vixen of a number of families from

a neighborhood in east jerusalem called shakes iraq this is something that the israeli courts believe that they have they have jurisdiction over because of israel's an exception of east jerusalem after the june $1067.00 war of course most of the world does not recognize that that annexation and thus israeli law does not apply there this led to protests and like to protests and battles $22.00 really security forces and palestinians including on the city for the temple mount where the arts and mosque in the golden dome of the rock are located it was that incident that clash between palestinians and israelis in hama city then it led to have to launch rockets in the direction of jerusalem that has led to this wider conflict between israel and hamas now on the home front and israel proper intercommunal violence and mixed cities like haifa lod i mean it has really showed

some really shocking volatile scenes there were you surprised by that as well that it spilled over in those mixed cities. it is shocking to see those seeds. it is at the same time i think something that isn't entirely unexpected. palestinians who are citizens of israel feel as if not only their right to be and did not put all the. surrounding countries but their identity has been arrested at the same time israelis believe that palestinians are trying to erase the israeli connection and the jewish connection to the land and there's no real explanation as to why this is happening now as opposed to 2014 when the. was a previous conflict or 2012 when there was a previous conflict in gaza or 2008 when there was a previous conflict but nevertheless i think it reveals these or is within israeli

society between the palestinian population and the jewish population there in which . palestinians deny israeli identity and jewish israeli. deny the identity of palestinians who are the remnants of the palestinians from 1948 now arguably the u.s. is the only country with any substantial leverage but it looks like this issue is not at all a priority for president joe biden how is the bind of ministration approaching. escalation in tensions with a body of ministers who has made no secret of the fact that it seeks to deemphasize the middle east more broadly and certainly the conflict between israelis and palestinians as vice president president biden oversaw negotiations between israelis and palestinians and saw that it came to not much of anything and i as president has clearly decided that. investing in his administration in trying to

resolve this conflict is not worth the time given everything that is on the president's plate in american official has been dispatched to israel in our system and use a very mid-level mid-level official i think this is a signal to the united states would like to manage this conflict and bring the violence to an end but without any real commitment to a new effort to resolve the conflict between israelis and palestinians can you imagine a possible peace process getting underway because for all intents and purposes the 2 state solution seems to be well dead. it doesn't seem to be dead it is dead and it's been very difficult for officials and former officials and analysts like myself in washington to come to that conclusion but the fact that it has been dead and has been dead for some time it is very very hard to imagine serious negotiations underway if only because one the palestinians are fractured. the leadership of the palestinian authority is profoundly weak israel

has been through for close elections of the course of the last 2 years has been unable to find a governing coalition and now you have this violence i don't suspect that either the israeli or palestinian elite are going to have much appetite for negotiation after this round of violence stephen koepp from the council on foreign relations thank you very much for joining us buster. the center for disease control and prevention announced that there are no longer recommended and fully vaccinated people the wear masks this recommendation holds true whether you are inside or outside i think you said great milestone and great day. u.s. president joe biden there a lot into the system by the centers for disease control to relax its guidance for fully vaccinated u.s. citizens basically saying that they don't need to wear a mask outdoors or inside while the decision has been met with and suzi as i'm in

some quarters especially the tourism and hospitality sectors. but many others are sounding a note of caution questioning whether the move is safe or workable oh my next guest is an epidemiologist and senior fellow at the federation of american scientists in washington d.c. i'd like to welcome back to the show dr eric feigele a very good day dr mixed feelings many welcoming it but i understand you are not pleased with this decision by the c.d.c. . yeah there is many others me ologists are up at arms and not happy at all there some of them are calling it and then. you have this rule because it's an out phase from just a couple weeks ago because we know that the back scene while there but they're against severe disease they are not perfect against transmission milder asymptomatic we're you're carrying it but you don't even know it and we know that

some of just 50 percent of all transmission are eastern tonight at present and not in and that is inherently a problem even though the vaccinated are protected decon transmitted to someone who is not vaccinated and we know there are still a lot of people that are not vaccinated yet and we don't really even know if you meet someone are they truly a mouse because they are vaccinated or the because they are in time massacre it is a very serious precarious situation and it's very unfortunate i want to ask in a 2nd about how you think this will be enforced but 1st the c.d.c. regulations say that if you're fully vaccinated and i quote you can resume activities that you did prior to the pandemic that's a very far reaching. yes you can resume but the problem is there is also the issue of public in danger that you could. some things and not worry

about dying yourself but we still know that the vast majority of the world or your country us still not been fully vaccinated and that does not mean 0 not flu protection we know kids are not protected yet and we know many of you know compromised because. we know there's many vaccine resistant people as well and so presuming that's kind of dangerous nonsense my main issue is with indoor going indoor is the main concern because we know the nature airborne aerosol transmission and wish that the virus can go around corners literally and great distances beyond 6 feet which c.d.c. know each other now acknowledges well so with all that indoor and mouse it's really risky but could this also be an incentive for people who are still in the fence about getting their shots to go to well basically a get vaccinated. yes we do are some studies there are some studies or polls

let's call them that show people who are and not vaccinate yet giving them more freedom after their backs needed is somewhat of an incentive but again this is just a poll and you know that oftentimes people express opinions on hold but don't actually act on a cycle in focus groups so vaccine resistant people they actually say that some will be willing to lie some more willing to forge vaccine cards to claim that their parents need even though they're not and this is been well documented in washington washington post and many other focus groups and surveys so it's not a reliable metric of these from these polls especially that oh give me more freedom and i'll get vaccinated it's not perfect not everyone says they will and even if the say do well they may not actually do it and that's the concern and that's a concern and speaking of

a concern so what do you most worried about now in the cove a pandemic and whether the pandemic stands at the moment. well i think we have to be very worrisome about some of the new variants. the in the area the b. 161-6172 some lineage 2 is soaring across the world it's causing outbreaks in as in places like singapore singapore one of the wealthiest highly tested. city states in the world most contractors is having surgery and they're going to lock down japan is having a surgeon osaka india as you know is going to horrible phase in addition to nepal in bangladesh in the u.k. even though heavily backs near you kate you seem the surgeons in this in the in the 16172 very this is a huge concern and the vaccines work with a vaccine don't work against for all transmission in the work was less well

attenuated for some of these marrons we have to be vigilant because the world does not prevent it and these variants floating around just use the virus more warm bodies and more hosts to adapt a new tape and find clever ways to invade us dr erica if i go ding epidemiologist c.f.l. at the federation of american scientists in washington d.c. so i thank you for your time. a petition to cancel the tookie a lympics has been submitted to games organizers on friday 350000 people signed a petition in just 9 days well that comes as the country faces a 4th wave of corona virus infections the capital tokyo osaka and other prefectures already under a state of emergency but the government appears commit to opening the olympics on the 23rd of july a series of tests events have been hell to check safety protocols and organizers

say a spectator free olympics is also a possibility none of that has however dampened the growing public opposition to the games. almost nothing has gone as planned ahead of what is still called the tokyo 2020 olympics at a wednesday news conference even by your question please a man posing as a journalist staged a cancel the olympics protest for the olympic committee's spokesman. anywhere no olympics anywhere. we don't want the olympics and use turning off some of. that great know i'm sorry to disappoint you that it was me not the president today obviously would have probably made that stunt a little bit more interesting was the stunt though voiced the same disapproval that japanese themselves are voicing in small protest groups and in big polling data that shows 59 to 65 percent favor canceling the games in light of the pandemic.

i was surprised that the number of people who are against the olympics have increased this much but i guess that reflects how bad the situation of the coronavirus is. but olympics organizers are moving forward and one thing that did go according to plan for them a dress rehearsal of what the track and field competition could look like. a mostly empty stadium safe for athletes and officials who've been placed into a virtual bubble for time olympic medalist justin gatlin won the test 100 meters and was a few sieve in his praise despite living in a locked down room to sleep to watch netflix to dine and then he was let out to train and compete. this competition here was a precursor to see exactly how you know the nitpicks can go off.

maintaining a bubble for the athletes to be able to stay healthy and also the citizens of japan to be able to stay healthy before an athlete for nothing is coming into the country i think you were a success. definitely different it's going to be hard to adapt but the caution is definitely needed. should the games go off as imagined or imagined this could well be the look world class competitors inside the venues and the athletes olympic village. protests on the outside. the people of chile head to the polls this weekend to decide who will create a new constitution while the existing constitution dates back decades to the days of the autocratic rule of general augusto pinochet a mass protests helped spur a referendum last year that set out the terms for the votes and the makeup of the assembly while that includes a provision that 50 percent of the new assembly seats must be held by women all the

constitutional will be voted on in another referendum next year and our next report takes a look at 28 year old evolve on the vitus made out that she hopes to be elected to chile's constitutional convention on sunday and is currently going from house to house canvassing support in her hometown. we all know that a few months ago ivana miranda never would have imagined she'd be running for office now she's on the campaign trail as a candidate for chile's constitutional convention aranda wants to help write the new constitution because the current one dates back to the pinochet dictatorship math including the new constitution should be written by ordinary citizen because we know the real life circumstances in chile and we know that so far. a state doesn't guarantee has the rights we should have. 21000 after weeks of police violence and riots the efforts of 1500000 protesters paid off citizens will now

draft a new constitution. to use this chance to bring about change she's demanding that groundwater be distributed fairly in the dry region of salamanca where she lives until now farmers have pumped water from 100 metres below the ground to supply their avocado plantations. can it be possible that there is enough water for hundreds of acres of avocado monocultures but not for local communities. you know. in many places people depend on water financed by taxpayers but time and again these pipes are closed off because water is in short supply. they have 3 children so it's hard to get by with the water ration from the pipes and that's why we rely on the city's water truck it comes by once a week another truck is from a private company that the neighborhood residents pay for out of their own pockets

well that's. according to chile's current constitution water is private property miranda shows us a new pipe made by a private water supplier it was developed for the avocado farmers not the residents . that was the libyan constitution favors agriculture and this pipeline starts at one of the few remaining above ground springs and it was originally intended to provide water to locals not allow at the fact that water is private property has led to dried up rivers next to lush green avocado plantations exporters hoard their water in huge basins and expand their office of growth every year. then you must finally right the wrongs of apple ism and distribute water fairly especially during the current drought and climate crisis want to be cut in again and. 50 percent of the seats in the constitutional convention are reserved for

women that's why miranda has high hopes for her campaign. essential activists like me have to push harder to get her down it's important that we put pressure on the old political elite now but. the outcome of the vote will play a key role in shaping chile's new constitution. i'm joined now by my colleague benjamin of artists their group were benjamin what's at stake for chile this weekend there is a lot of stake in the hopes a really high because this is a way of scrapping the current constitution that they'd spac to the time of the military dictatorship and replacing it with a new framework of this $155.00 members that will be elected this weekend with a half of them women and also elected seats for the indigenous populations all that it's truly a story and now explain to us a little bit because you know the chiller is known as the star south america but there are a lot of problems just bubbling under the surface can you were talking there were

some of the issues that they're dealing with that's right even the presidents of us simply you know one set that chile comparing it to other countries in the region was an oasis and that's definitely not the case the. 1000 pandemic has shown. that the severe problems of poverty of inequality of overcrowding of people that need to go out with home office is definitely not an option so those who have to risk their health to get to their jobs and others who have to rely on the private pensions to get through this pandemic because the financial work of the government is definitely not been enough so the story that chile is really developed in this macro economic numbers that always shown by authorities only show one part of the story only one part of the story now a lot of people are pinning their hopes on all these elections that are taking place in chile this weekend is this chill is moment in the sun in terms of its chance to reinvent itself it is it is his chance to reinvent itself and it's extraordinary if we think how this started this started on the streets of chile

protesting then led to this referendum in october of last year when overwhelming part of chileans voted to scrap this constitution and now with this pod with a $155.00 members will be elected who will have the difficult task of. drafting this new constitution but of course a constitution itself will not solve all the problems in the country in the other reforms that we'll need and that are really important as well for example of the police that has been heavily criticized for human rights violations during the protests so the hopes are really high that there will be a new chapter in chilean history and 10 seconds are people animated is a less of an animated and they know that this is a way of channeling the social and protests in the country to a new way to this new constitution benjamin gruber thank you so very much all eyes on chile this weekend we should. and that was the day as ever the conversation continues online you'll find us on twitter edu w news saying you can reach out to me if you want to at

jewish israelis have repeatedly attacked one another we begin now with dramatic scenes from gaza. in an instant a 6 story building is reduced to rubble. all throughout the day and into the night . explosions reverberated through gaza city as israel intensified its onslaught against hamas. as the conflict intensifies hour by hour gazans are fleeing their homes with whatever they can carry some have come to the school run by the un in search of a safe place. whenever one of the lot is that we were planning to leave during the night but drones and jets kept bombing us at dawn we started moving and ran to the schools and our children were screaming that they wanted to get away when we woke up we found everything behind us destroyed there's nothing left in the end of the

new album out in one hour. and many israelis too are living in fear. just north of gaza the city of ashkelon has been hit repeatedly by hamas rockets. that said it has been very stressful but we are following the government's instructions we have faith in the army and our creator globus in. gaza is not israel's only front in an intensifying conflict on the west bank tensions hit new highs as palestinians exchanged rocks and gunfire with israeli soldiers for the 1st time this week palestinians died in numbers on the streets of the territory. of. the united states has sent a diplomat to try and broker a cease fire between israel and hamas but as flames and fighting. spread across the

holy land peace seems like a distant prospect. like to turn now to do you know the jerusalem correspondent time yeah kramer tanya winner said that israeli forces have conducted air and ground attacks on gaza what more can you tell us. well the scene of build up the military build up around the gaza strip for that pos days but for now still the focus of the israeli army seems to be on concerted strikes from the and the naval and navy and artillery we seen that particularly last night this was a very massive bombardment campaign also by the a tillery and from the navy in specially in the noise and goes this gaza strip the army has said they deployed 160 jite of fighter jets and read targeting of what they called a tunnel system used by hamas and islamic jihad andrea have to impression that i mean today again it was

a bit more quiet during the day but it has picked up the rocket barrages came in waves and also the as trucks have continued of course this comes as an immense devastation for the residents to specially dowels and this northern area of the gaza strip and i talked to someone there on the sound today said they're hunkering down at home but that many of the neighbors have left as you've seen and to report to look for a kind of safe place which doesn't really exist in gaza what is the situation time here in occupied west bank. we seen today across the occupied west bank protests and demonstrations by mainly by young palestinians there's a lot of anger and frustration some came out in solidarity of what happened but what is happening in gaza so some of the use they read throwing molotov cocktails stones and other objects and the israeli army responded with tear gas rubber

bullets and some life mission now the ministry of house and my mother has said that at least 9 people or 9 protesters were killed and several hundreds injured now this comes of course as a davy's for friday which is a reminder of how many palestinians of their force displacement $948.00. commemorating this on saturday and of course we also will have funerals tomorrow so the some more protests and demonstrations at that point. correspondent on your screen were reporting earlier from jerusalem and there's also growing tension on israel's northern border with lebanon lebanese state media report a protester was killed while trying to cross the frontier he was one of a group of protesters who gathered near the border in support of the palestinian cause the israeli army says it fired warning shots when people try to cross

a security fence the border region has been on and she with palestinian militants firing rockets into israel. and moments ago ready to be used to resign samana gave us this update on events at the lebanese israeli border. there are says tensions at the borders after the israeli to troops taught civilian that he civilian how much the han who died few hours later due to his injury and that his the armed forces are working hand in hand with the u.n. peacekeepers jaunt and to evacuate the area near the border to contain the situation there are information circulating on social media and on lebanese media outlets that there are 3 other put esther's who have been ensure it. by shots after they try to cross what is know to be the blue line which is a border demarcation that was published by the un you peacekeepers in 2006 after

that it is really a war. there are also caused by it it is parties and that activists for a large protest to take place tomorrow add that it is border and there are fears of growing escalation in abuse resigned samana reported no moments ago a vigil meanwhile against anti semitism has been held in golson cure him in western germany well earlier this week demonstrators shouted anti jewish slogans outside the city's synagogue but today supporters rallied in solidarity with jewish communities police estimate that around 300 people took part a spokesman for chance on glimmer concerns germy won't tolerate anti semitic protests after recent anti israel demonstrations in a number of cities where israeli flags will burn crowds shouted anti semitic slogans. so what measures are being taken to save guard the

jewish communities in germany while a question. put earlier to felix climb the german government commission on anti semitism well it's appalling to see that this kind of hatred in 6. pressed towards german jew was and the synagogues here in germany to make them responsible for acts of the israeli government this is not acceptable at all and of course the police and security or authorities or observe very well the situation so also the curative midgets for the synagogues and jewish institutions in in germany have been enforced and i hope that any perpetrator who commits anti-semitic crimes will be. will be charged and will be held responsible for what's being done. when i get you caught up now on some of the other stories making headlines this

current drought and climate crisis when i mean. 50 percent of the seats in the constitutional convention are reserved for women that's why miranda has high hopes for her campaign. essential activists like me have to push harder to get heard it's important that we put pressure on the old political elite now but. the outcome of the vote will play a key role in shaping chile's new constitution. and at the other seattle rally spain's carlos signs for it in the fastest time in the auto category in stage 2 of the competition was found his veteran completed the 339 kilometers in just over 3 hours and 16 minutes in his mini cooper outpacing. she who was more than a minute behind 3rd on the day was another veteran qatari. who still retains top spot in the overall standings and motorbikes another spaniard lorenzo

a european privacy ruling that could disrupt company data flows between the continent and the u.s. ireland's high court dismissed the case against the country's data protection commission the watchdog had issued a draft ruling against facebook in september that's after the e.u. stopped court decided that the blocks current data agreement with the u.s. didn't adequately protect european users the commission still needs to finalize the draft ruling before facebook would be forced to suspend transfer. salaries to harlow joins us from the new york stock exchange floor he's there for the 1st time since the pandemic started good to see you back there jose but tell us about facebook how has it responded. basically you know facebook it's a definitely not happy about the situation even though it's sure to close more than 3 percent friday deals whole situation. foreseen phrase we could
