Increasing clashes and violence in jerusalems old city prompted unprecedented security measures. The israeli Prime Minister has promised a fight to the death against what he calls palestinian terror. Also coming up for a this hour, scuffles at air france as management says they need to cut thousands of jobs after pilots reject a costcutting plan. Details coming up in business. Portugal reelects at centerright government for another four years despite its painful austerity plan. That and more on the way. First, our top stories. The old city of jerusalem is under a second straight day of strict restrictions, stopping most palestinians coming in. Only women and men aged 50 and above will be allowed to worship at the compound. Security forces have been on alert for more than a week after an intense. Of violence. Clashesve been several around the mosque, as well as of lone wolf attacks. What is the feeling like they are today . Iria you see a city and lockdown. We entered through the lions gate, which is the gate that the few palestinians and Israeli Arabs who can go when, go through, but when we get to the compound, even people within the restricted area over 50 years old not allowed to go in and pray. When you walk through the streets of the old city, there are more is really police and military Israeli Police and military then there are tourists. Many of the stores are shut. The few stores that are not shut do not have customers so it is quite sad. It is the last day of the jewish holidays. What we see is a city that has been locked down. It is now secure so far, but it is also. There have been very strong words from the israeli Prime Minister, pledging what he calls a fight to the death against palestinian terror. Perhapsrong words, because of what the newspapers are suggesting, he does not know what to do. He has suggested that israel will resume house demolitions, a policy it had abandoned because it decided it was not affected. Be an increase in Israeli Military and police presence, an increase in administrative detentions of palestinians. All that is technical, it is not strategic. It is not a big picture solution and that, i think, is what his critics are saying, that there is no big picture solution and there is not on the palestinian side either. This is what we are seeing as these ongoing, lowlevel violence, and you do not know which way it will go. Thank you. Meetingish president is eu leaders in brussels today.

Those two issues, the water and electricity go hand in hand. A third issue is that a lot of the roads are completely torn up and under the pavement, there are cables, pipelines not pipelines but what are pipes.
