History and conversation with us. And to kind of create a space to put that history of conversation with the president and struggles today. Tonight we are going to be talking about black power and political refreshment. It feels a timely in the moment we are in.

I think the word i was looking for is dismantling. So taking it apart. I was down there all morning. It is just a massive piece of equipment. Im trying to figure out how they will clean it up. Good morning, everybody. Im rob nelson. We kick things off with the weather. Good morning to you. The system has moved out of here.

17yearold mohammeds body was found badly burned yesterday. His funeral tomorrow. Many believe that palestinian teenager was killed in retaliation for the murders of three israeli teens earlier in the week. Nick is live for news jerusalem, and nick, tensions certainly seem to be escalating. Tony, absolutely. There is so much fury on the streets and so much grief. And all that playing out on the streets of jerusalem. The battle lines are drawn, for two Straight Days the main roads have split in two. Palestinian challenges the claim that jerusalem is a united capitol, Israeli Police fighting to keep the city under control. A solitary run to throw a cocktail that lands far short of its target. Tomorrow this neighborhood will bury mohammed. The seven teenyearold who palestine yankees say was with killed to avenge the murder of three teenagers. Do you feel like you will ever be whole again.
