end soon. no one is ready was there of these guys that is there are a lot of people and it's just so. heartbreaking what happened and let that happen again but an end to the conflict on israel streets appears a long way off prime minister netanyahu has warned that violence is likely to increase in the coming days. and let's get now some analysis of the rising tensions between israelis and palestinians and the 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 mideast 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 flashpoints 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. restrain 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 your op 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 of the

22 really security forces to the palestinians including on the street where the temple mount where the oxen 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 in israel proper intercommunal violence and make cities like haifa i mean it has really showed to some really shocking volatile scenes that were you surprised by that as well that it spilled over in those mixed cities. it is shocking to see those scenes. it is at the same time i think something that isn't entirely unexpected. palestinians who are citizens of israel feels it 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 in the jewish connection to the land and there's no real explanation as to why this is happening now as opposed to 22. team where there 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 deep fissures 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 binding 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 the 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 announced like myself in washington to come to that conclusion but in fact it has been dead and has been dead for some time it is very very hard to imagine serious negotiations underway if only because as one the palestinians are fractured. the leadership of the palestinian authority is profoundly weak israel has been through for close elections over the course of the last 2 years has been unable to find a governing coalition and now you have these months 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 in the where mass this recommendation holds true whether you are inside or outside i think it's a great milestone for a great day. u.s. president joe biden there lauding the decision 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 an 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 well 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 at seeing

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 meola just sort of that are not happy at all there some of them are calling it and then. you have this rule because it's an about face from just a couple weeks ago because we know that the back scene while they're factoring in severe disease here is not perfect against transmission mild or asymptomatic where you're carrying it you don't even know it and we know that up to 50 percent of all transmission are east into magic precent and not ink and that is inherently a problem even though the vaccinated are protected decon transmit it 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 amounts because they are in the entire

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 pendennis very far reaching. yes you can resume but the problem is there is also the issue of public in danger that you could resume 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 yes and we know many of you know compromised because. we know there's many vaccine resistant people as well and so presuming that it's kind of dangerous

nonsense my main issue is with indoor. 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 not knowledge as well so with all that's indoor and mouse it's really risky but could this also be an incentive for people who are still on the fence about getting their shots to 2 well basically a get vaccinated. yes we do are some studies there are some studies a holes which is called on 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 certainly in in focus groups so vaccine resistant people 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 give me more freedom and i'll get vaccinated it's not perfect not everyone says they will and even if the save you will they may not actually do it and that's the concern and that's to concern and speaking of a concern so what are you most worried about now in the cove a pandemic or whether the pandemic stands at the moment. well i think we have to be very worrisome about something very the the in the area. 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 contact trees is having surgery and they are going to lock down japan is having a surgeon osaka india as you know is going to horrible face in addition to nepal in bangladesh any u.k. even the heavily backs new u.k. 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 adopt 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 when it comes as the country faces a 4th wave of corner 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 test 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 brian your question please a man posing as a journalist staged a cancel the olympics protest for the olympic committee's spokesman. where no

olympics anywhere. you know. we don't want the olympics used anymore. not that great no 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. 7 at the start though voiced the same disapproval the japanese themselves are voicing in small protest groups and in big polling data that shows 59 to 65 percent favor of canceling the games in light of the pandemic. oh no on all of it but 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 hills. 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. 4 time olympic medalist justin gatlin won the test 100 meters and was a few save in his praise despite living in a box 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 stay healthy before an athlete for nothing is coming into the country i think it was there 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 well 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 draft constitution will be voted on in another referendum next year and our next report takes a look at 28 year old event on the vitus need 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. well known 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 or. and who wants to help write the new constitution because the current one dates back to the pinochet dictatorship. the new constitution should be written by ordinary citizens because we know the real life circumstances in chile and we know that so far the 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. i have 3 children so it's hard to get by with the water ration from the pipes 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 . 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. the fact that water is private property has led to dried up rivers next to lush green avocado planting. exporters hoard their water in huge basins and expand their awful cargo groves every year. then you must finally right the wrongs of happy to listen and distribute water fairly especially during the current drought and climate crisis when i mean that in a good and. 50 percent of the seats in the constitutional convention are reserved for women that's why miranda has high hopes for her campaign. essentially activists like me have to push harder to get heard and 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 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 are 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 population so that it's truly historic and now explain to us a little bit because you know it's chile is known as the star of south america but there are a lot of problems just bubbling under the surface can you were talking through some of the issues that they're dealing with that's right even the presidents of us simply you know one set they've chile comparing it to other countries in the region was an oasis and that's definitely not the case the covered 1000 pandemic has shown that there are severe problems of poverty of inequality of overcrowding of people that need to go out where home office is definitely not an option so those who have

to risk their health to get to the dogs and others will have to rely on the private pensions to get through this pandemic because the financial work of the government is definitely not to been enough so. the story that chile is really developed and this macroeconomic 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 chile's moment in the sun in terms of its chance to reinvent itself it is it is its 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 members will be elected who will have the difficult task of. drafting this new constitution but of course a constitution itself will solve all the problems in the country and the other reforms that will 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 it's a lot of enthusiasm made it and they know that this is a way of channeling their 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 as you know saying you can reach out to me if you want to at la iraq ticket which.
