been named to the new white house press secretary . hello and welcome this street to our top story this hour an escalating dispute over metal that. a contest jerusalem shrine turn to violence on friday setting off widespread clashes. between palestinian stone throwers and israeli troops three palestinians were killed. and several dozens injured by live rounds rubber bullets and beatings this according. to medics the confrontations in jerusalem and the west bank abruptly. after mid day friday prayers. thousands performed those prayers in the streets rather than. . t the shrine this to protest israel's decision to install metal detectors at the gates to the wall. compound a little earlier we spoke to

our jerusalem correspondent. harris marker let's take a listen. it was a week ago today that two gunmen emerged from the al aqsa compound umd three gunmen sorry. and shocked to israeli police officers in the back in fact because they were coming from inside the mosque compound. the israeli police solution was to push up metal detectors there wasn't a consultation or at least sufficient consultation. with big mosque officials and they did not react well when they saw that and that is the problem here it's a shade site in effect. the muslim mosque officials have control over the. holy site itself and israel was responsible for security around it. so when you share in this contested site where both sides have such an emotional reaction. it's a very complex thing and there are criticisms from within israel security services that perhaps although they concede that something does need to be done to increase security. because of the events of a week ago that perhaps what

they need. is a different is certainly not these metal detectors because say. israel's intelligence and the israeli army if the game's not with the candle the price is too high and the price is the price we saw today. three did palestinian teenagers three hundred but injured palestinians and right now on going immigration jerusalem we still see questions. here's what is the way forward out of this set. spiraling attention it sounds like there's no immediate solution. eh. what what do you think or what are you hearing about the way forward if you like? i hear there is a lot of pressure eye on israel from. its allies in the region that includes jordan with him which is the area. and egypt two key at saudi arabia there's a lot of pressure on israel at the moment and we have food. from israel security minister tonight but perhaps a re think is necessary. i think that's a sign that if they can be some compromise that would

allow both sides to claim victory. the removal of these metal detectors perhaps some cameras or something else put up in its place that would allow israel to say. but it does have some kind of security supervision outside to try and prevent arms being smuggled into the mosque if those things can be brought about with this international pressure. including pressure from washington. i guess if some if they allow them provide a ladder so that they can climb down off this tree. then we will see a slow decline in this violence. you're smarter speaking to us there a little earlier. now a powerful earthquake kills two people on the greek holiday island of course in the early hours of friday the quake sent panicked tourists running into the streets. and also cause disruption in the nearby turkish tourist hub of boardroom. with about a bounce has the details. hundreds of tourists in the a jian work in the early hours of friday morning. to witness that dream summer holiday had turned into a

nightmare. the greek islands of course was the worst hit with at least a hundred people injured. residents and tourists run into the streets to escape as buildings collapsed around thehem when the earthquake struck. people drinking at this ball look crossed when the roof above it caved in. the injured were rushed to hospital for medical treatment. fearing for their lives many tourists evacuated the hotel rooms. and spends the rest of the night in makeshift beds and streets. hundreds were left stranded at the airport after the earthquake caused flight delays now all of a sudden it felt like a train was going. right through the rain but when i. i told my son. looks like an earthquake let's get the hell out of here. decide to go away because it. see you in here. they destroyed and i felt sick. it was immediately i was focus on now. just. meet surviving. but after one side hit me it really because i felt really sick.

grew up seven times. the epicenter of the quake was ten kilometers south the boardroom. and just ten kilometers below the seabed. turkish and greek authorities measured at magnitude six point three and six point six. and reported several aftershocks. the cctv footage captures the moment the quake struck the turkish city boardroom. officials say more than thirty houses were damaged in a local village. no deaths have been reported such as president. tayyip erdogan looted emergency teams who are effectively handling the crisis. turkey and greece atone significant fault lines and have regularly been hit by earthquakes in recent years. turkish president transept tayyip erdogan on friday told germany it cannot scare ankara with france this in the context of an escalating row. after wave of arrests of german citizens in turkey. germany has issued a warning to tourists and investors traveling to are already in turkey relations between the two nato partners had

already been brittle in recent years. responding to german criticism of the rights situation in turkey are too into carriage that's turkish court court court swore quote. more independent than german wants. the gloves are off in berli. german tourists of been warned against traveling to turkey. foreign ministers egmont gabriel had urged his citizens to exercise caution if vacationing in talkie saying that they're no longer safe from arbitrary arrests. this after the detention of the german human rights wor. on friday the finance minister added fuel to the fire. saying it reminds me of how things used to be in east germany. it was clear to anyone who travel that if something happens to you no one can help. german citizen seemed to side with like governments hardstone. we joined. of course it's absolutely not acceptable that people are detained without reason. at any substantial investigation. i

do this completely right that the german government is opposing it putting yourself. this could harm turkey's tourism sector web fifteen percent of annual visitors come from germany. but some touch remain optimistic. him because that is that i had all my i don't think it's a big deal that the german government set so that people don't get to take it because in germany and our country have been living one within the. last few years to to the presence of our one of his last mission enemies down below it. it's also reported that anchor handed over a list of german companies believe to have ties to foot to look good and. exiled cleric accused of masterminding last year's coup. the fare of summary retribution has led germany to threatened to remove its support for investments in turkey. president at one school to reassure. only i can hit you germany must pull itself together they should know that they can never scare us with these threats. they

should know that if they're judiciary is independence well than ours is even more independent than there is on under the belongs. while ankara dismisses any accusations of clamping down on foreign visitors on companies since at all on narrowly won his constitutional referendum he will effectively have the unchecked power. to do so. sean sought spicer has resigned as u. s. president donald trump's press secretary and communications director. the move came after trump hide already named anthony scaramucci as his new communications director. sean spicer side on twitter he will continue his service throughout august. meanwhile sarah saunders named was named as the new white house press secretary we're joined now. by washing correspondent phillip crowther. philip this announcement came quite suddenly boss it's not necessary surprises it. no i was only a matter time before sean spicer would leave israel officially as press secretary we hadn't seen him at the podium for quite a few weeks. him move to the background had been replaced at the podium by sarah huckabee sanders who

has just been announced as the new press secretary. the third woman ever to hold that job that was announced by anthony scaramucci at the podium that's is relatively rare to see especially because. it is that's nomination of anthony scaramucci as the new communications director in the white house that seems to have. pushed sean spicer to the exits exactly six months and one day into his job as white house press secretary this also shows that there is upheaval that within the white house. there were different factions of fighting for control fighting to get close to the u. s. presiden. mister scaramucci is somebody who has been close to him in the past was close to him during the transitio. and says now that he will be a very in very close contact with the u. s. president himself that is not necessarily something. that sean spicer as press secretary ever really managed to achieve he came from all establishment

republicans circle background whereas scaramucci is somebody without a real. politics background a financier from wall street and it seems a personal friends. bartram's he repeated the phrase i love the president four times at the podium when he took questions a short while ago. now filled his legal team je spokesperson for that team of lawyers decides to leave off to just two months in the job. while left shows festival that person doesn't want to speak for those lawyers and that's quite a few of them are not comfortable working on what they write working on right now that is the russian investigation. into possible collusion between the trump campaign and russia that is something that's the new white house communications team headed by anthony

scaramucci also rejects. as fake news as something that is not something that should be concentrated on by the news media but there is trouble ahead for the white house after all. because we know now that the special counsel investigating this matter that's robert mueller will also be looking at the president's finances his business transactions. with russian entities and russian companies and russian individuals and that is something the white house does not like a toll and the president himself does not like until. he doesn't want this investigation to be that vaast in nature because it could end up taking a look at his tax returns of all things. something that this president as candidates refused to show and that is maybe why he is so nervous and angry and why so there are so many changes changes to his. legal team as well on this of course comes ahead of a week when there will be some key testimonies from members of the close

circle of donald trump. about precisely the contacts that they might have been between the trump campaign team. and russian officials may be certainly russian individuals who are promising information that would be detrimental to hillary clinton a big week coming up for this white house and the legal team. alright philip thank set for those insights. now the us is set to bar americans from traveling to north korea officials say the ban will most likely come into effect on the twenty seventh of july. theh korean authorities. catherine v. acts as more. north korea is soon to be off limits to americans. the trump administration is expected to announce a travel ban to the country. to tour operators at organized group trips to north korea say they've already been informed of that decision. the news comes as donald trump searches for more ways

next up attacking passive energy usage from trains that remain connected to the grid even while they are stationary. which would reduce electricity usage by three percent your movie and i think he knows that the web based when the train is stopped for a long time for me we can disconnect the power and examine the internal systems like. black conditioning lighting the man's eleven achievemen. a homeowner clinical with us third is producing its own electricity with plans to install solar panels on top of france's three thousand train stations. thousand has already dubbed into this but by installing wind turbines among its tracks. with all this evidence we have these wind turbines which produce energy which is then sent to this transformer station right here. turned into electricity that's usable for the rail network which is right next door why do whatever access is produced. december than normal grip that serves households. when there's no wind no worry the traditional electricity network kicks back into play. it's a strategy the sncf is hoping to one day to play itself.
