Under arrest georgias former president Mikhail Saakashvili says hes on a Hunger Strike after the police in ukraine detained him. Bidding farewell to a rock icon thousands of fans lined the streets of paris to face their pay their final respects to the french rocka Johnny Holiday. Our top story the arab league is holding an emergency meeting later. On saturday to discuss Donald Trumps formal recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel now the move has drawn International Condemnation and sparked protests around the globe. On the ground Israeli Forces are firing tear gas at protesters in bethlehem on friday Israeli Forces killed at least four palestinians in shootings and airstrikes after demonstrations in the occupied territories more than seven hundred others have been injured palestinian leaders meeting in ramallah to firm up their response to that announcement from the u. S. Administration alan fischer is live for us in occupied East Jerusalem alan just walk us through whats been going on there so far today. A protest there just started literally in the last thirty seconds or so what street which is less than half a kilometer away from the city of jerusalem im going to ask or to tell the camera to see if you can see was going on behind the throng at the moment there are a lot more camera people here than there are protesters but you get the idea that the people here are making the point about how they want the final status of jerusalem should have been decided by the United States unilaterally that this should have been part of the discussions that a larger peace deal involving the palestinians and the israelis and this is just one of the protests that are planned and in iran. Israel and the occupied territories on saturday so theyre no marching and they are hoping that people will join them to see what do you see which is only a fairly busy shopping street here in jerusalem on a saturday the families lots of people there are fewer people here today that simply because they want to stand that there may be a larger protest possibly even trouble as well and the police have been no they arrived just in the last few minutes on either side of the street making sure that if there are any protests they are peaceful there were certainly demonstrations in and around the city of jerusalem on friday the police is going in. And you go there are a new manager from a friday there were a few scuffles recently where clashes simply because people were told to move out that they prayed they didnt want to immediately leave the Police Wanted them to leave the area and so they were pushed a couple of people were arrested but what you see here is the protest that is being. Used in the United States and was made organizers certainly hoping that the numbers will increase over the next few hours. Family only just having four or five people here know the number thats already taken out and then indicative of the way that people in the street here feel that their voices are being ignored but they want the chance to express their anger what the next step is is that connally clear but they think this is a good first step to show people not just here but around the world in particular in the United States but theyre not particularly pleased with the decision they dont trump has come to as to that next step palin and the clearly theyre rallying behind the palestinian leadership depending upon where they are in the occupied territories and the west bank are they expecting a presence from that leadership on the streets anytime soon. The selling. Going to one. Recently not all in favor of the palestinian. Issue im not entirely sure whats happening not. Knowing timely suicide and i think that what were what weve seen here is that the police have decided that theyre not going to march any farther and so they have just pushed people back and have told them that theyre not going any farther i dont oversleep created a little bit of panic in the crowd again nothing violent just a few scuffles people being pushed. You can see the tension in the case of the police as well they are concerned about whats going to happen here. But i think im just going to go after someone i dont think im going. Someone for exactly what happened but i suspect when i say it is true that the police have decided that theyre not going any farther down the street this family are not going to let them out as the old city there and who the police have decided this is fathers that protests who is. No farther than probably about twenty meters before the police decided they were coming back yeah yeah. Ok ill close keep us posted on whats going on there lets take you live to reporter another one of our correspondents Bernard Smith whos live for us in gaza city bernard clearly there by the story slim a slightly combustible situation is that being mirrored where you are.

Overnight in the early hours of the month of this morning some more rockets have been launched towards israel from the gaza strip by smaller groups not by hamas but hamas has influence over all of the groups here in gaza but two smaller groups launching those rockets hamas hamas leadership has called for another uprising a third intifada and while there have been protests in gaza as another one coming my way shortly there have been huge they have been intensive but they do echo of frustration and anger. And a sadness felt really by many palestinians here over what is happening in jerusalem. Ok burning to the moment you keep us posted im sure in the meantime thanks very much. Donald trumps to clear the worst wildfires in california history to be a federal emergency of the u. S. President and his order will not allow additional Government Resources to help rebuild homes which have been raised six wildfires continue to sweep across the southern part of california two hundred thousand people have been forced to leave their homes over the past five days some are returning to charred ruins this island shuffler reports now from ventura county. When the wind dies down the helicopter crews go up here taking advantage of morning call to attack the thomas fire northwest of l. A. The largest of the fires burning in Southern California its now ten percent contained but still growing and a slight break in the weather has helped firefighters in some areas and the fight ahead is all about how hard the wind blows and how dry the hills are theres three factors that influence fire behavior fuel weather and topography. Weather is a huge factor its the most available factor that fire for wildland firefighters face across the region fires have burned through more than six hundred twenty five square kilometers of National Forest land the coastal canyons and neighborhoods from san diego to ventura hundreds of homes have been lost thousands of people ordered to evacuate with likely more destruction and more displacement ahead the president has now declared a National Emergency and ordered additional federal help thousands of firefighters have converged here from all over the western u. S. In this ventura neighborhood where the flames have been out for days and residents are now allowed back in kim gray walks us through the home she moved into when she was two years old im very sad but and but seeing it had to be the worst part this is the new normal for us for a little while anyway she and her family got out just in time with only a few possessions when the fire erupted coming back has been so hard but she knows its a shared experience making the regions losses very personal this house was here since one thousand twenty seven so this is like one hundred year fire im hoping they wont happen again ever. It might because we are so dry while the battle continues in the air and on the ground in Southern California the grays and many other fire weary residents have no choice now but to turn to the future and the rebuilding job ahead alan kohler aljazeera ventura county.
