Hello and welcome. Im shaun ley. The us has called for De Escalation in eastjerusalem, and warned against carrying out a threatened eviction of palestinian families that has sent tensions soaring. It comes as at least 50 palestinians have been injured in clashes with Israeli Police at the Al Aqsa Mosque compound in jerusalem. Video footage shows the Police Firing stun grenades and Rubber Bullets as crowds throw bottles and stones. Several police are also reported to have been wounded. Tensions have been growing over the potential eviction of palestinians from homes on land in eastjerusalem claimed by Israeli Settlers. The israelis say a number of people have been arrested. Our middle east correspondent tom bateman reports. A car burns. And an israeli settler fires his revolver. The air feels flammable in occupied eastjerusalem. In the neighbourhood of sheikh jarrah, the tension� s been growing for weeks. Several palestinian families face eviction from their homes. Across the street, israelis watch from home whose watch from a home whose palestinian residents were evicted a decade ago. Nabil and muna, father and daughter, here for decades. They could be evicted in days. Muna vows to stay. She says shell chain herself here if she has to. I feel not safe. I feel. Ifeel weak, although im strong. But i feel weak because im facing a whole government thats supported from america and other. Countries in the world. We wont leave, we wont leave. The Settler Group Claims Rights to land here, saying it was bought byjews in the 19th century close to a religious shrine. Israel sees it as a matter for the court, arguing the families have been offered a deal to remain for now. Their legal appeal is being considered. Outside nabil� s home, an iftar meal for the families and supporters to break the daily ramadan fast. Protests have intensified. The case has echoed widely among palestinians. The un and europe condemn the planned evictions, calling them forced transfer. Across the street, the Israeli Settlers gather. Word has spread that a far right mp is about to show up. Theres pepper spray from both sides, and then open confrontation. These clashes have been fanning a sense of volatility. Well, this is exactly why tension has been rising injerusalem over recent weeks. A far right israeli mp in the centre of this melee. Palestinians are unhappy about the settlement on the street thats been here for many years. Itjust takes a spark to make these things ignite. Translation this is ours. The situation here is very delicate for a simple reason there are attackers here. They are attacking jews just because they are jewish. Meanwhile, amid an uptick in violence in the occupied west bank, Israeli Forces on friday shot dead two palestinian gunmen who they said fired at a police base. With the focus now shifting back to the site at the heart of this conflict, many are braced for more testing days to come. Tom bateman, bbc news, jerusalem. British Prime Minister Boris Johnsons Conservative Party is celebrating resounding local election victories in england. Mrjohnson said this was down to focusing on what people want, including brexit. The governing conservatives also won a parliamentary seat from labour. A seat the party have not lost in 16 years. Results are still coming in from the devolved governments in wales and in scotland, where the Scottish National party hopes to get a mandate for an independence referendum. Our Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg has more. Who does he look like . The tory Prime Minister pumped up and inflated to 100 foot high. With his party taking big strides, Tramping Over Territory Labour used to take at its own. Par for an overnight shock but another step in a journey that started long ago. Its a mandate we were asked to deliver, notjust for the people of hartlepool of the north east, but across the whole of country. The public want politicians to get on with focussing on their needs and priorities. The air has gone out of his point, when of his opponents. One labour veteran said Holding Hartlepool was a test of whether party could hold its own. It did not, not here. And the tories were digging in deeper, taking councils in much of england like nuneaton, dudley, and harlow in essex. Little hope on labourfaces, that things could be better, since the thumping of 2019, everyone with a newish leader, maybe even with a newish leader, maybe things could only get worse. I am bitterly disappointed in the result, and you know, i take full responsibility for the result, and i will take full responsibility for fixing things. We have changed as a party, but we havent set out a Strong Enough case to the country. But a very public battle was under way, over where next even before he spoke. Labours old opposing generals, slugging it out. It is amazing because Jeremy Corbyn has not been leader of the labour party for you know, a year, and yet here i was in hartlepool, having his name, you know being bandied round, on the doorstep, honestly, he casts a long shadow still. But on the other side, pointing the finger in the opposite direction, at keir starmer himself. He said he wanted to make the moral case make the moral case for socialism, he wanted a united party, and unfortunately, hes failed in all of those area, because were now in a situation and hartlepool is the Fan Fest Oman fest tasting of it where people dont know what his vision is. The local elections arent just about the two biggest partiess wins and loss, there has been a list of complex contests too. The liberal democrats, picking up pocketses of support again. Hear in cambridgeshire an extra backing for the liberal democrats. And the greens together, edged out labour from overall control in sheffield, too. But remember, there are many, many results to come. So far, its labour in the doldrums, but they expect to keep london, and maybe march on in some parts of the south. And whatever happened to the banners in powys . Labours vote in wales held up pretty well. Down at least in part to the leadership of mark drakeford, more solid than the set. Yet there is a huge headache for labour and the conservatives in scotland. Theres never been a doubt that nicola sturgeon� s snp would win this election. What we dont know yet is by how much, or exactly how hard shell therefore push for another vote on independence soon, and isnt giving that away just yet. Extremely happy and extremely confident that we are on track in the snp, for a fourth consecutive election victory, i and to have the ability to form i a government again, and that is an extraordinary achievement for any political partx for all the parties, with many votes not yet counted, there will be losses unknown to commiserate and victories to celebrate. One tory neednt wait to cheer the mayor of tees valley, nearly three quarters of all of the votes went his way. Not only are we the party of the working family, but we are the new party of the north. Claims that not so long ago would have sounded audacious, fanciful, perhaps, but todays results so far underline, with the real Boris Johnson at the top, its not so far fetched now. Laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. Protesters have gathered outside a Police Headquarters in Rio De Janeiro in brazilfollowing a Police Operation in which 25 people were killed including one police officer. They accuse the police of carrying out a massacre against the poor of the favelas after witnesses said some of those who were killed had surrendered. Our correspondent camilla moto has more. There has been serious allegations of Human Rights Violations and what happened yesterday in rio, which turned out to be the Deadliest Police raid in the citys history. Residents and Family Members are saying that what happened there was an execution, that when police entered the slum yesterday, they knew exactly what they wanted to do, exactly who they wanted to kill, that they werent given a chance to turn themselves in. Images that have been shared since yesterday on social media showjust Blood Puddles in the middle of the street inside resident houses, grenade shells, wall covered in bullets. A wife of a 22 year old was killed yesterday. She said she was beside her husband when he was killed and he tried to turn himself in, but wasnt given a chance. He was shot by the police before he could do it. Police brutality is a problem all over the country, all over brazil, but in rio, it has a particular problem with it. It seems the police in rio it are the most violence in the country, and that the episode that happened. It cause such a huge commotion and spark that debate. What specialists are saying is that all the mechanisms that were supposed to supervise the police in rio have been weekend over the past four years, and thats because the state of rio has just plummeted in such a crisis. Six governors were arrested or prosecuted on corruption charges. Currently, the state has been governed by the deputy governor, who was impeached just months ago. All of this has created a huge selective government that is reflected on the police. What people are saying is they feel entitled that they have a Licence To Kill or Something Like that, that they are kind of Out Of Control in rio. Camilla moto reporting from Rio De Janeiro.

The International Travel ban for england will start to be slowly lifted in ten days time. At the moment it is simply illegal to travel outside of the uk unless you have a preauthorized reason, such as a Work Requirement or the death of a close family member. Portugal, israel and gibraltar are on a list ofjust 12 green countries that you will be able to travel to without quaranting on return. Meanwhile, turkey has been added to the red list for travel, so thousands of fans with tickets for the Manchester City chelsea Champions League final there at the end of the month have been told not to go. If they try to go they face severe legal actin, which will include significant fines. Heres caroline davies. Relief in portugal today. Just two months ago, the country was on the uks red list. Now, its one of the first to go green. No one enjoys the holiday more than the british people, and we all know that. And they bring colourful atmosphere to everyone and all the restaurants and bars and hotels around in lisbon. And its just. This is a happy moment for now. Its a happy moment for everyone. 12 countries and territories, including portugal, gibraltar, israel, iceland, singapore, australia and new zealand, will be classed as green, meaning anyone travelling from there to england wont need to quarantine from the 17th of may. That doesnt mean all of these countries will welcome tourists. Some, like australia and new zealand, will not. There are only 12 countries and territories on this list. Passengers will be very disappointed by that, as will the industry. Why are there so few . We are having to be cautious about this issue. We dont want to overturn all the brilliant work of, frankly, the british people in taking these vaccines and staying at home and all of that pain. So, we cant do anything to put that at risk. Please place your bagsi in the lockers and close them once they are full. After months of preparing, this isnt the grand reopening many in the Travel Industry were open for. Data and science will tell you that you could add the majority of European Countries alter that green list, and they have failed to demonstrate what data and points theyre using, why that should not be the case. Three countries have also been added to the red list from 4am on wednesday, including turkey, where the Champions League final between chelsea and Manchester City is due to take place later this month. The government has confirmed talks are happening to try to bring it to the uk and said fans shouldnt travel there. I dont think anybody was looking forward to the idea of eight, ten, 12,000 supporters travelling to istanbul, which is the worst Covid Hotspot in europe at the moment. More countries will be added or removed from the list every three weeks, and the government say those fully vaccinated will be able to show their status on the nhs app from the 17th of may. For now, travel to most of the world is still not possible, but more is promised just over the horizon. Caroline davies, bbc news. The us says it has no plans to shoot down the remains of a Chinese Rocket which could plunge to earth some time this weekend. A section of the rocket, like this one, that was used to deliver part of a Chinese Space station into orbit last week, is tumbling Out Of Control above earth. There are fears it could bring with it a shower of scorching metal debris as it breaks up in the atmosphere. China says the risk of damage is � extremely low�. Our asia pacific editor, Michael Bristow has more. Is not so much Out Of Control as uncontrolled that the chinese always expected it to do this fall to earth. Its going to come down sometime between Saturday Night And Sunday Morning over a wide range of area. From as far north as New York City and beijing, two as far south as new zealand. Thats because this fragment of the rocket is travelling at about nearly 30,000 km an hour, so it scientist are quite clear exactly where it will reenter the earth. The chance of a fragment of this Rocket Landing on somebody� s head are extremely, extremely small. Most of the earths service is the sea, so therefore theres a good chanceit sea, so therefore theres a good chance it will land in the sea. Even if it lands on land, many parts are uninhabited. The chances of it landing on somebody� s head are very, very small. Having said that, a year ago, it came back to earth in very similarfashion. A piece of the rocket, a long pipe. Similar fashion. A piece of the rocket, a long pipe. Rocket, a long pipe. Michael bristow. Rocket, a long pipe. Michael bristow. Or rocket, a long pipe. Michael bristow, or asia rocket, a long pipe. Michael bristow, or asia pacific rocket, a long pipe. Michael. Bristow, or asia pacific editor. Fascinating thought. Mightjust wear a hat outside just in case. Goodbye. Hello again. Friday was all about sunshine and showers. The best of the drier weather and sunshine was across Western Areas of the uk. But across northern and eastern scotland, Eastern Areas of england, we did have widespread showers, and some of them really pokey with some hail mixed in as well. At the same time, over the last 24 hours, troubles been brewing out in the atlantic. Look at this area of cloud and how its rapidly developed into what is quite a beautiful looking area of low pressure. However, this area of low pressure is a loitering low pressure system, a particularly slow moving system thats going to be with us for the next five days or so, bringing rain and showers our way. So, an unsettled spell of weather. The rain is beginning to arrive at the moment and will continue to work its way in across parts of england, wales and Northern Ireland over the next few hours. But as the rain starts falling, the mild air starts moving in, so temperatures 10 degrees by dawn across the southwest. Cold with a patchy frost in scotland, but at least therell be a bright start here. Its in wales where the rain is going to be at its heaviest and particularly across the high ground over the brecon beacons. Here, over the weekend, we could see over 100 mm of rain, and that could cause some localised flooding issues. After a bright start in scotland, the rain is going to be working in here as we go through the afternoon, but at the same time, the rain should ease off towards Southeast England and perhaps Northern Ireland as well. Temperatures higher than theyve been for quite a while 17 degrees or so in london, but its still cold in scotland. 7 or 8 degrees for many here with that persistent rain, and itll be windy for many of us as well. Indeed, through saturday night, there will be further bursts of rain coming and going, but it will be turning increasingly mild through the night as well. Temperatures are staying at around 12 or 13 degrees across england and wales, and a frost free night, something we really havent seen much of over the last month or so. The low pressure still with us for the second half of the weekend, arguably the better of the two days. Its a day of sunshine and showers, but those showers slightly to merge together to give some lengthier outbreaks of rain across Western Areas. We do have some showers pushing their way eastwards across england from a weak cold front, and that front separates really very mild air across Eastern Areas. With the fresher atlantic hit air, we have most parts, around 15 to 17 degrees. That area of the pressure is loitering, no surprise to see rain and showers for most of the days next week as well. Thats your weather. This is bbc news, the headlines. Israeli police have clashed with palestinians at Al Aqsa Mosque injerusalem. After marking the end of ramadan, many remained there to protest against the evictions of palestinians from their homes. The us has called for calm. Residents of a poor Rio Dejaneiro Neighbourhood have been protesting outside a Police Headquarters demanding justice for the victims of a raid on thursday in which twenty five people were killed including one police officer. 12 countries have been put on a Green Travel List for people in england, meaning anyone returning will not need to quarantine from 17 may onwards. A new Traffic Light System of rules means International Travel will no longer be illegal
