Before we get into our top stories a developing story coming to us breaking news out of israel where the army says theres been a quote security incident along the northern border with lebanon yet to go into any detail of exactly whats happened but israelis living along the border have been told to stay indoors lets take you live to western islam and al jazeera is correspondent there harry forsett harry what do we know. Well as you say the official information coming from the Israeli Military is pretty limited at the moment they say that there has been a security incident in this area the shaba farms area in the occupied Golan Heights along the line with lebanon and they have instructed all farmers to stop operations hikers to get off the streets tourists to get out of open areas and to cover the other information that were getting is coming from Israeli Military sorry israeli media in the area there has been a lot of attention on this border area because of threats from hezbollah to respond the militia in lebanon to respond to the killing of a hezbollah fighter in syria last monday which was attributed to an israeli air strike and so what were hearing from israeli media is that the Israeli Military seem to have preempted an attempt of infiltration by fighters from the lebanese side which they say were trying to plant some kind of explosives again this is all reported information we cant. Stand this up separately but that they were trying to plant explosives and it was the exchange of fire and no reported casualties were hearing so far on the israeli side and that at the moment the situation seems to have quietened again how significant is this immediate region. Well its obviously something that does give cause for concern if this was the promised retaliation from hezbollah and if it didnt go off according to plan the question then remains as to what might come next there was a similar kind of situation a little less than a year ago after another strike inside syrian territory which killed hezbollah fighters that one a very deliberate one from the israelis to try to preempt and to cut off a unit that they said were planning to make drone attacks from is syrian territory into israel this time the israelis have said that the killing of the hezbollah fighter was not intended according to reports that they had communicated that message to hezbollah there have also been sunday escalatory messages coming from hezbollah as well about there being no appetite or atmosphere suggesting that a full blown conflict might break out however there is this long standing promise from the leader of hezbollah Hassan Nasrallah which was made in the aftermath of that incident last year in which there was an attack from hezbollah on an Israeli Military. Border post that any further kind of attacks on hezbollah fighters would be met from within lebanon the question is was this that response to this most recent incident and if they arent able to tell their own people that it has gone off successfully does that still mean that there could be more to come does this mean though that what were really talking about here is an israeli anticipation of a reprisal attack on the part of hezbollah that has yet to take place because weve seen no reports or no pictures of the aftermath or the ongoing Current Situation that would make us think that something was happening as we speak. Thats right and as i say israeli media are reporting that the situation there now is quiet after this exchange of fire i have to say again that we are basing this very largely on the reports from israeli media in the area of the official information coming from the military is extremely turfs but yes what is the reporting at the moment is that there was an attempt to infiltrate by a group of fighters to lay explosives but that was repelled by members of the Israeli Military who are on heightened alert they have been fortified in recent days in anticipation of such an attack so again the question is whether on a can be satisfied on both sides as to what has happened so far or whether there still remains an outstanding desire or need on the part of house as butler to respond to the death of its fighter last monday ok thanks for that do stay close youll come back to us im sure when you get the very latest information on that breaking story here on the news are a force of our correspondent there in west jerusalem. Ok turning our attention to iraq there protesters say theyre fed up with corruption unemployment and Poor Public Services and antigovernment rallies overnight in baghdad at these 2 people were killed they are the 1st fatalities during demonstrations since the Prime Minister mustapha was sworn into office iraq has seen months of unrest as it deals with an economic crisis and political instability so manifolds and is in fact that.

The memory of him and theyre marching from where indirect fire where violence took place. Right. After the fight in. March this year when he robbed. Me and now we can see that. They are angry at the government for not delivering electricity. The government not making the sweeping changes. In october. Who put the Prime Minister in his position what protection have you provided to the protesters what demands have you implemented for the protesters you didnt provide any solution not the simplest things its very silly that theres no electricity no clean water you didnt do anything for the citizens. The military spokesperson of the Prime Minister has condemned the violence has promised an investigation youre also said the Security Forces have been ordered to use force only as a last resort but until now the details of what happened last night remain unclear what is certain however is the demonstrators are very angry at the government and they have little confidence that this government could actually bring those responsible to account now the president of the philippines roderigo to say has defended his governments response to the coronavirus pandemic saying it prevented between one and 3000000 extra infections in his annual state of the nation address mr also highlighted the success of the lockdown there but admitted they were slow in rolling out testing the speech comes as around 2000 people gathered outside a university in manila to protest against his policies to turn hes been accused of mishandling. The response to the pandemic and criticized over a new Anti Terrorism law for more lets cross live. Is covering those protests in manila how combustible these protests because mr say for so long has had a very strong footprint on the country. Well peter you know over the last few years the state of the nation speeches of president through the good that theyre to have been overshadowed by protests and they were usually much bigger and much more widespread in the we compared to this year from the very beginning also because of the coronavirus endemic polices threats and protesters that if anybody appeared in the street with a placard or poster that they will arrest them without warrant immediately so majority of these protesters over a 1000 of them troop to the university of the philippines nearby about a few kilometers from congress where detectives spoke and conducted their rally there so they were able to contain the situation on the ground but not the rage you know this was a speech that was about several hours late but it was all over in less than 2 hours and president of the good that there just spoke of bureaucratic gains in government over the last few months he also said that there will be no face to face. Classes until a vaccine has been developed he revealed that he had this discussion with the chinese president xi jinping just a few days ago he said 4 days ago where he appealed to the chinese leader basically that the philippines the me the for your should a vaccine develop and surprisingly today for the very 1st time he admitted that he is powerless when it comes to fighting that there dorio this part of the philippines against china in the South China Sea he described himself as in utah and that hes basically not going to be able to do anything about it but still he said despite this you will not allow the return of u. S. Bases in the country now on didnt continuously he kept talking about infrastructure and the economy but he kept going back to the issue of security in the speech meter where he also said that because he was not able to come fulfill his Campaign Promise of ending crime and corruption within the 1st 3 months of office he now wants to implement the Death Penalty by lethal injection. Now activists are saying the president and his government is too focused on security and silas say of silencing this sense by fleeing dissent and this comes at a time when just a few months ago the biggest Media Network was shut down the same one you threatened will be able to renew its franchise you know at this point also the anti terror laws come into effect what a lot of critics were hoping today is for the government for president for the good of there to to lay out the plan a clear road map as to where the country is going over the next few years considering that its already on the recession that millions of village you know several ready lost their jobs and many are hungry and desperate peter jamila thank you very much reporting live from manila.

Turning our attention here on the news out of spain where the region of catalonia is considering even tougher virus restrictions if the infection rate doesnt improve within the next 10 days the u. K. Last thing has imposed a quarantine on all travelers coming from Spain International air transport association i asked which represents airlines describes that move as a step too far the World Health Organization says that while things do not bad countries such as spain are well placed to handle new outbreaks the situation is there were close to what it was there before in the authorities certainly assure us that theyre taking every possible measure to investigate and suppress clusters and taking localized action to suppress those who clusters of disease so i think it will take a number of days or weeks for us to to see what is the future in spain but we trust that with this wolf an approach with the sense of the surveillance with the sustained testing and with the cooperation of people in spain that we will see these clusters come under control into course live to barcelona and my colleagues.

Cases has been increasing in the last weeks we have reduced to 1000 infections spirit day and 80 percent of this infection are up and have been taking place here in buffalo now where we are right now so despite the regional catalonia has toughened measures than other regions seems spain like the mandatory use of mass to close in farsi perhaps in.

As the Spanish Government had anything to say about the quarantine regulations that are now in place for anyone returning back to the u. K. Having been on holiday in spain. Yes the Spanish Government is sending a clear message for everyone to start and to regain to recover the confidence of the other countries that already have some limitations on restrictions to travelers coming to a country like the United Kingdom and expect a measure of the 14 days of self isolation of people travelling to spain they want to send 2 clear messages of travelling to spain is safe.
