India on the countrys grapples with a raging coronavirus and havoc. And theyve got a nose for the job the dogs being trained to play a Critical Role in detecting the corona virus. And in sport cattle has officially expressed an interest in staging a future lembit games the 2022 world cup to bring the olympics to the middle east for the 1st time. Israels Prime Minister is warning has been all that its playing with fire Benjamin Netanyahu has accused the Lebanese Armed group of launching an infiltration attempt in the border region of shaba farms hizbullah denies that its fight has tried to penetrate the border or engaged in any confrontation the United Nations is being restrained from both sides and speaks well to serious carry forces are joining us now live from west jerusalem but we have a clearer hairiest what actually happened in that border region today. Well there are 2 disputed accounts of what took place israel is entirely rejecting the hezbollah statement in which it said it did no kind of military operation and undertook no attack on Israeli Forces in the occupied Golan Heights in the sheva farms area and that israel merely was acting in a panicky and worried fashion by firing on on lebanese territory as far as the israeli reservists are concerned thats not what took place there was a cell of some 3 to 5 has been a fight is that it tracked as they were trying to infiltrate israeli territory when they got a few metres inside israeli territory they were repelled by israeli fire machine gun fire tanks and artillery fire and in the last half hour or so weve had a joint statement from the israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his alternative Prime Minister former rival now Coalition Partner also defense minister benny gantz they came to a podium together in tel aviv after security assessment talks with Senior Security and military personnel and as you say there was a very strong threat from Benjamin Netanyahu to retaliate in force should there be further action from hezbollah and he made a clear reference to the war in 2006 saying hezbollah must understand that it is playing with fire it made a big mistake namely in 2006 when it assessed israels determination to defend itself and lebanon paid a price i urge him meaning the hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah not to repeat this mistake any attack against us will be met with great force as for benny gantz he talked about the seriousness of the infiltration attempt saying that it could have led to fatah fatalities and he praised the precision of the Israeli Military response and one of the timing of this incident harry is that significant. Well it comes a week after there was an airstrike south of damascus in which has been a fighter was killed that airstrike has been attributed to israel though not claimed by israel and it comes as israels very much aware of the fact that the hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has this long standing promise in force that should there be any more fighters killed inside syrian territory that there will be a response from lebanon a little less than a year ago there was an israeli air strike in which 2 as well our fighters were killed they were assessed to be part of a drone warfare team and that team was attacked by israel there was a similar incident in september last year when hezbollah attack was carried out on an israeli outpost near the lebanon border there were no casualties on the israeli side in that event either and the situation did return pretty quickly to normal however this time hezbollah is saying that it still has yet to avenge the man inside syria and that israel or what it calls the zionist entity will be aware that punishment is still awaiting it sorry for that reporting live there from west or aslan many thanks indeed lets hear now from aljazeera say the holder has put lebanons border with israel and says the conflict seems to calm for the moment. The Lebanese Armed Group Hezbollah has denied that it carried out any operation it is saying the incident was one sided and it is blaming what it calls an israeli an anxious israeli army so a very different narrative from what the israeli army is reporting they are saying that a group of hezbollah fighters tried to infiltrate the shebaa farms is very hard for us to independently confirm what happened but a Lebanese Security source did tell us at the time that some incident some kind of incident happened whether it was an attack or an attempt to infiltrate the recognizance mission that source could not confirm. A cautious calm prevails along the border israeli planes continue to fly over lebanese airspace you can hear israeli drones in the skies the tensions have deescalated but definitely the tense atmosphere along this border is likely to continue over the past few days there were fears of the possibility of a hezbollah retaliation retaliation for the killing of one of its fighters in what was believed to be an israeli air strike in syria and thats why israel really beefed up its forces along the border and took extra security measures now some analysts say that this is part of hezbollahs psychological warfare to keep this israeli army on its toes but many will say that you know both sides have no intention really or do not want an all out conflict because both sides really have a lot of domestic problems hezbollah knows that if it if it sparks an all out war with israel it will cause a domestic domestic backlash it will be blamed for dragging lebanon into war at a time that the politicians have really run the economy into the into the ground and and hezbollah along with its allies now hold political power they control the government they control the parliament so right now its its not in their interest really to see an all out confrontation but there is no doubt this border remains volatile especially since israel is. To continue to keep up the pressure on iran and groups that iran backs like hezbollah particularly in neighboring syria. Is the director of the Levant Institute for Strategic Affairs he joins us now live from beirut sorry we still dont have any clear idea as to what actually happened in that border area today its clear that something did go on what are your thoughts on it. I mean has to do. Anything about. That so he needed this operation in a whole new. Political base especially in that. Question. To the economic crisis. Pointing to him as a response to the current economy. Or. Having exposed to. International old to the region that conflict so its. Its at that. But i do not believe i mean as model of what is a race that means that ag to. Something similar to what happened. In 6 because this would have given us speed. On his part it. On. One has to keep in mind as one law got out exhausted. He did not win the war hes not among. The consideration with iran. Just before the march 2000 and when when it is not over so you can jump in and day out of knowledge having. Any insights. Which is that. Financial crisis. As. Hes on the economic sanctions so the conditions for him are a way a womb of the what used to be in 20062006 he emerged from that were against. As it was a little boy. Lost last autumn the day he turned into his evil after having blood on his hand because of meddling in this war in yemen war he says he. Has against him. Practically all of the companies some of them have. Settled down isolation this is why the pulpit and are not certain what not to race large as a warder. He cant fully measure his operation today just an office who face saving but not a lot of. That is to be dragged into. That i. E. It that he. Thought he had a structure and could have been. Somebody thinks did something out of there in beirut. In iraq there are new reports of violence against protesters in the capital baghdad video posted on social media shows riot Police Firing tear gas some even suggesting that theyre using live ammunition against civilians its happening after the few holes of 2 men who were killed in demonstrations on sunday they were the 1st protesters to die since the new Prime Minister mustapha cut amy took power in serious about a full team reports now from baghdad. After months of relative quiet mourners once again flooded by the dots to her square the epicenter of iraqs protest movement. Now dozens of demonstrators gathered on monday to pay their respects to the of the altimimi one of 2 People Killed the night before when Security Forces opened fire at protesters demanding Better Services these are the final moments matic captured on his phone before he was shot dead. A dozen protesters were injured and several tents burned in wileys so were going to look at. What protection as the Prime Minister provided to the protesters what demands has implemented for the protesters he didnt provide any solution not the simplest things its very silly that theres no electricity no clean water he didnt do anything for the citizens. These are the 1st protest related fatalities in baghdad and the Prime Minister mr file cabinets watch he was appointed in may to put an end to months of political crisis and man drifts of protesters who have since october last year demanded a complete overhaul of the political system and the military spokesperson of the Prime Minister has condemned the violence and has promised an investigation also said that 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 can actually bring those responsible to account. When he came to office the Prime Minister promised he would investigate the deaths of more than 600. 00 protesters killed since october last year the ms adviser told al jazeera that he hoped this fact finding process would restore trust between the government and its citizens so over the coun. This would be the 1st time in the history of the modern iraqi state that the government forms a committee to highlight whats happened to bring back the rights compensate the victims not commit the same mistakes it will strengthen the law and restore respect for the institutions the state and the citizen the latest deaths have cast doubt on these promises raising fears that systematic violence could once again return to Tahrir Square as well as questions about whether the Prime Minister is in full control of the Security Forces. And some of the joins us now live from baghdad some of whats happening on the streets of the capital right now. Well it appears that there are once again clashes in Tahrir Square similar to what happened last night we understand from the protesters that we have called on the ground that Security Forces are using birdshot which are small bullets to fire at demonstrators so far there are reports of several injuries we spoke to one medic based in Tahrir Square with that his particular clinic treated 13 people with light injuries as a result of birdshot but so far it appears Security Forces have not used heavy life minish and so far we dont have reports about any fatalities but of course that there is fear that as these small scale demonstrations for the cross southern iraq but also here in baghdad that there could be further escalation in violence that we could once again see the. Confrontations and the escalation to take place not just here in Tahrir Square but also in other southern cities of zerosum out a full team reporting live from baghdad many thanks. The casket of the civil rights pioneer a long time u. S. Representative john lewis has arrived at the u. S. Capitol in washington d. C. Where hell lie and states for the next 2 days his body arrived at joint base andrews a short time ago and was taken by motorcade through the city the congressman died on july 17th at the age of 80 after battling pancreatic cancer lets go live now to capitol hill and serums. Is the island this is the 3rd of 6 days of memorials for john. And the Memorial Service know under way nancy pelosi the speaker of the house a longtime friend longtime political ally of john lewis no speaking Mitch Mcconnell the republican leader of the senate he just said a few words and he said who would have thought that a young man who was tending the family chickens would end up leading a movement which helped to. His exact words were that they would help redeem American Society talking of course about the march on washington the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960 s. John lewis was one of the big 6 leaders all of that movement he was involved in the march on washington in 1965 where Martin Luther king delivered his famous speech and it was at the Martin Luther king memorial that the cortege that brought john lewis to the capital stopped a very briefly to pierce respects he then went on to the black lives matter plaza which has been established just in the last few weeks with all the protests weve seen in washington d. C. Just a short distance from the white house where john lewis actually made his last public appearance and then it came here to the capitol it was brought in john lewis will lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda for a very brief period but he is the 1st africanamerican ever to lie in state in the rotunda of the largest cummings did lie in state in the house at the end of last year the intention is that many people will speak during this service nancy pelosi will talk about the man she knew the man who she believed was so important to changing the face of america but youll also hear from people who regarded john lewis as an icon as a liberal tiger as a person who could be respected who brought both sides together and whose legacy should be something more than just warm words in the Capitol Rotunda on a very warm monday afternoon in washington d. C. That perhaps the Voting Rights bill that is going through congress at the moment should. Be renamed in his favor the bridge where he was beaten by Police Officers because he wanted to register more black people to vote should be renamed after the ku klux klan leader that it was named after but should be named after john lewis his family or the politicians are there but this is something that the entire country is watching in the days like this its sometimes difficult for a journalist to bring all the words to convey just hope love respected admired and adored john lewis actually was.
