Tensions are running high in jerusalem as worshipers make their way to the mosque compound for friday prayers, following plans for palestinians to protest this friday. Under pressure and removed metal detectors and barricades from the compound which were directed following the killing of two israeli policemen. The move sparked some of the worst clashes in years. For more on the story we go across to our correspondent, in jerusalem, what more can you tell us . I can tell you that tensions remain high, friday prayers are longer than usual today. End. Are now, coming to an men under 50 who were not able to enter the mosque, once again praying in the streets near israel he checkpoints. The city is in lockdown. East jerusalem at any rate. The palestinian side of the city is in lockdown. It is difficult to move around. They came to the nearest checkpoint to the old city and that was where they prayed. When that happened last week, immediately as soon as the prayers were over, rioting began. The prayers in the streets have not taken as long as the prayers inside the mosque. Some of those prayers in the street are over and there is not the kind of writing that we saw last week. That does not mean that it wont develop because it did develop later in the afternoon but i recall watching what happened in one area where people were praying in the street last week and it was immediate. Perhaps that is a sign if you can redesign in this tense city, that it will be at a slightly that it wont be at such a high level. The flames wont be as high today because of the palestinian victory in returning the situation to the way it was on july 14. It an you really call victory now that men under 50 have not been allowed into the site . I think overall it is a victory for the palestinians and that is how they regarded. Men under 50 not allowed into the site at various times for various reasons, for security reasons, because israel site, theyontrol the are responsible for security, and they make those decisions. The demands of the mosque officials were met and they, the officials have said, that israel allow all meant to pray and not interfere with worshipers. Of the pastdemands those go weeks were met yesterday and the last obstacles will remove and that is why prayers have resumed. The Police Presence is huge and it is still tense but we will have to see what develops this afternoon. More likely in the suburbs, they areas the areas in the palestinian suburbs more than in the city itself. In a separate story, a diplomatic spat is brewing between jordan and israel.

Two jordanians, one of whom attacked them and one who did not. Israel was able to remove security paraphernalia that had been demanded by palestinian worshipers. It is very much tied to the story but because of the way it has been handled, which has been criticized inside israel as well, it claims that jordan is not happy. Greetednister netanyahu the returning Security Guard and there was film of this and the jordanian king has called this populism. The king went to the mou rning tent of the jordanians that were killed. Jordan is demanding a proper investigation and a proper inquiry and a trial since they released this man into israeli custody but it is not clear whether that is going to happen and also, what will repair relations between the two countries right now . This is a diplomatic crisis. Thank you very much for the update. Reporting from jerusalem. Hasther news, nawaz sharif stepped down as Prime Minister of accident. He was disqualified from office.
