1:08 pm
the israeli town. fact which is just outside tel aviv where a jewish mob had attacked and i would drive and now the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has denounced what he said was an attempted lynching and he has to say it that there's no place for this whether it is g.'s attacking arabs or arabs attacking james in the israeli town of that young which is just to the south of jaffa and outside television should be showing stars have gathered here and they are smashing cars at presumably they think belong to arabs there's also an arab owned i screen shop down the road and the glass has all been destroyed b. i'm fittings in front of the building they've come you know with israeli flags to show their support and this is imitation to the violence we've witnessed in the last few days which has been predominantly arab on jewish violence so the so the police are firing stun grenades and trying.
1:09 pm
to police firing stun grenades and they trying to get people to run away from here . and you can see the security officers coming down the road there trying to push the crowd further and further away from here and a lot of the youngsters have moved down the road of that they have finally come in to try and deal with the situation and bring order and calm back to back to yum. yes. and i'm sure moves that on a dinars to the driver wanted to drive into us he pressed the pedal to the metal and wanted to kill us luckily he couldn't do it because another car stopped him because otherwise he would have killed us this is our country and they come to kill us in our own country arabs who live here want to kill us no small children died in the streets because of the arabs now we've come here and the army and police are
1:10 pm
against us they have showed so this. we can't continue like this and it's not good what the jews are doing and not good what the are observed doing the government is not doing anything so this is what is happening each side is doing what they want for 70 years we've being good neighbors it's a really big pity that this is happening now we have to make sure the things remain good between us but this concert was being driven by an arab men they took him out of the car and in an attempt to lynch he he's been taken to hospital in the same happened over here with. the same happened with this car down the road here and now the attempted lynch as tensions high they've been also shouting at the journalists and checking which channels we all belong to so we're going to make our way out of here it's not the safest place to be. ati. you know the city of bucktown the poll that was just in it's not the only scene of violent riots in the
1:11 pm
israeli town of lot a mixed our than jewish area the mirror has likened the situation on the streets to a civil war. was 2. that was i mean i. think. it's really border police are enforcing a state of emergency in law aimed at curbing a surge in violence that has engulfed the country despite the curfew are a demonstrator sporadically clashed with police vehicle was set on fire. unrest spilled onto the streets in palestinian territories su security forces responded with stun grenades and tear gas to disperse the crowds there 7
1:12 pm
palestinians are said to have been arrested the israeli president has urged the local religious leaders along with citizens to do everything to. do all you can to stop this terrible thing that's happening before we're dealing with the civil war between us without any reason please stop this madness earlier my colleague andrew farmer discussed the current violence and how authorities are humbling it with micky rosenfeld spokesperson for the police in jerusalem towards the end of ramadan which was yesterday evening things gradually calmed down quite unfortunate there were a number of incidents that took place in and around the area of the old city where police units had to respond to a number of disturbances so as far as the israeli national police concern we are mainly focused on preventing largescale incidents from thinking place across all the different israeli cities and i'm inferring from normal until the central part
1:13 pm
of israel and i'm there. as well as down south towards the area where. the police deployment is absolutely necessary in order to be able to respond to any acts of violence as we've seen my uncle jimmy local israeli arab residents who have taken the law in their own hands and vehicles and at least offices that are on the scene as well as attempted to kill a number of. their homes that type of situation is absolutely unacceptable in a democratic society where the different communities are living together so closely together there has been criticism hasn't there of the place being heavy handed the taking after the still many of the school on monday what's your response to that criticism. well if you look back going to just the year ago when the 119 was being dealt with here across the country the israeli arabs who preyed on the temple mount came and things were quiet and calm and took place ramadan in
1:14 pm
a respectable manner fortunately this year things have got out of control by local was really arab residents who have taken to the streets and have gathered rocks and stones on the temple mount and on the jerusalem celebrations they went ahead with a full scale riot on the temple mount this is border police used only the west weapons to respond to those incidents in and around the old city and that was absolutely necessary from that same event there were a lot of incidents into place not just in jerusalem's old city but also in the share neighborhood where we saw a lot of people involved in disturbances and all of that continued until hamas decided to take the initiative initiative and rockets into jerusalem. that was a major situation that the israeli national police and its units down south to respond and go into a mode of emergency mode all across the country inside the civilian areas as well as dealing with the rocket threats that it was so until today this evening. ok

she was a very resolute girl she had big plans for the future to finish the 9th form and get an education in i.t. . zal thought nose on the day school staff did all they could to protect the pupils risking on someone losing their own lives in the process he would be the only one asking questions though could more have been done to prevent this tragedy and how could it be stopped from happening again. we should probably strengthen the school security as now we have mainly elder people working there also we should organize drills like the ones for fire safety and explain to children where they should go and hide if such tragedies happen. the bloodbath in school 175 how to clear a villain but also some unlikely heroes the son of the local imaam escaped the killer who broke right into his classroom only to run back into danger to rescue

where the gun was had been opened with the key. issues are on muslim veils are once again highlighting the deep divisions in front so not just in society but in president as ruling party to that's after it refused to support the girl in the city of a woman who appeared in a campaign poster wearing a face covering with more on the story here's artie's charlatans. the muslim veil has been drawn back into the fray here in france now americans own party has gotten itself wrapped up in a controversy so rupp did over one of its candidates in the local elections in a move that some see is being dealt it's aboard a muslim woman from running on one of its tickets why because in this campaign flight she's committed apparently the ultimate heresy. a hit job the values of the
1:23 pm
republic called the move party and not compatible with the ostentatious wearing of religious signs on election campaign document he that these candidates change their face so all the party will withdraw its support this is a view that being echoed point several prominent government figures from its report political party stand for separation a fairly just and political issues when you are elected you represent everyone and you do not need to show things that are really to try to tell me. you do not wish to present a candidate with a conspiracist religious symbol it's a political choice the right now though has a reopened base a divide within. party with not all supporting the leadership's varies on this matter. rather than making the decision inside the party the discussion went to social networks lumping together separatism and the veil which we denounce this is a serious political mistake i disagree with my political party when you have
1:24 pm
a young female engineer volunteers who joins a party to promote progressive values whether she's veiled or not she has a place with us it's an explosive subject political islam is a reality it is a simmering threat in some neighborhoods and we have to be very firm french law doesn't prohibit someone who's wearing a hijab or indeed any other religious symbol from appearing in a campaign flyer this isn't by men. party is purely political what it really shows is just how sensitive issues around islam have become here particularly ahead of next year's presidential election for many this is another clear example of how much call in his party have moved towards the right some have described this latest move as discrimination so what people here in paris think it's a form of discrimination and yes france is a secular country because i think it's
1:25 pm
a form of discrimination everyone has the right to introduce themselves regardless of their religion no matter their origin and stuff like that when we go abroad we have to do what they require our face out of respect for the way things are done in such countries that we could have she's a french origin i do not see why she would not have the right to be candid in the elections whether it is a french person or a foreigner everyone in the world has the right to be able to present themselves plans by fronts that could also see the banning of young girls wearing a hit job in public spaces have recently triggered international outrage on social media the hash tag hands off my he just said that would single out fronts is minority muslim population while the international said the proposed idea was a serious attack on rights and freedoms whichever way you look at this this raul has
1:26 pm
put my corns party in a pretty difficult and tricky position so much even ski all see paris let's stay in france where parliament has approved a controversial health pass potentially allow an citizens to travel abroad and visit gatherings that's led to claims of possible discrimination against known vaccinated people we're told this bill will manage now. exit from the health crisis yet it is the most cost control since the beginning of the crisis the destructive madness of this mature decision has just adopt at least neverland in action the drugs. digital tree sing bonjour is box is open to health pulse would be implemented in paper or digital form and contain information about either vaccination a recent negative test or recovering from of its promise that it won't be used as a way to for instance visit restaurants cinemas or stores if the seller that dumps
1:27 pm
the bill as well it will come into force soon tonight the government says it will help france return to normal and will be restricted. the health pass will allow us to reopen places welcome in the public to festivals and gatherings without this health bias we would have to wait much longer the french help us is supposed to be part of a europe wide campaign so-called universal digital certificates aimed at finally easing trouble within the block the passes are planned to be implemented in summer for no longer than 12 months safe to say the initiatives have been getting a mixed reaction. this is a good idea because it will help those who still don't dare to get vaccinated to be finally inoculated we have to coerce people because otherwise they will never get jobs because french citizens don't believe in vaccines this has already been the case with bird flu and other similar vaccines. to
1:28 pm
a strict human rights it's against the freedom of choice this is free and informed consent we're not forced to be vaccinated it's the taken piece our test every time we go to a restaurant we travel or we take the train at some point it becomes a bit tiring and above all it's inconvenient the news elysia if they force us to issue health passports and don't respect our freedom of choice i prefer after all not to go to a restaurant or theatre not to travel if i have to do something for it i won't be part of the system we are not sheep where people who are responsible for our health our lives and they have no right to force us to do anything i'm against this initiative yeah a lot of debate going on we also heard from a member of the french national assembly who thinks that parcel really holds excess power over people's lives on the pandemic as only exacerbated. when the more. the authorities are completely disconnected from what all french people feel right
1:29 pm
now questions about these health passes remain and their introduction will inevitably lead to issues of inequality so far we haven't managed to vaccinate the entire population and it won't be possible to do that in the upcoming months the government already has excessive powers in dealing with this health crisis as it can make laws by passing regulations as it wishes stop taking french people as fools i don't think anyone wants to put themselves in excessive danger people just want to finally get back to a normal social life thats it. the former 1st minister of scotland house his say next on the current british pm yet another loss for the opposition labor party in the polls if they close for the if they elect someone show begins in a moment. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation
1:30 pm
let it be an arms race is on all sides be very dramatic developments only i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful and very critical time to sit down and talk. welcome to alex salmond's to from scotland now last week's elections across the u.k. threw up some interesting contrast thing results in scotland and i think people were so intense and wales labor won well i didn't go into almost all of england.
