The latest where experts believe this Out Of Control Chinese rocket could crash. Welcome to all of those watching in the united states, and canada and around the world, im kim brunhuber, this is cnn newsroom. We begin with the escalating violence in jerusalem, where clashes broke out at one of islams holiest sites. The mosque, following Friday Evening prayers. Israeli police in Riot Gear fired rubbercoated bullets and Stun Grenades to break up crowds of palestinians who police say were throwing rocks and other objects. More than 200 people were injured. This latest violence comes at a time of heightened tensions in the city. Lets bring in cnns hadas gould in jerusalem, this is the latest flash point, take us through what happened and what some fear might happen in the sensitive period over the next coming daying. Reporter yes, kim, it is one of the most significant nights of unrest that the city has seen in years. According to the palestinian rez crescent, more than 200 people were injured in clashes as the temple, where you see behind me, and 88 of those injured taken to the hospital for treatment. Most of them, the palestinian Red Cross says were wounds caused by rubber coated bullets. 17 of the officers were injured. Some palestinians say the clashes began after worshippers in large numbers were prevented from entering the Al Aqsa Mosque which is the blackcovered building you can see behind me. Police say that some started pushing against barricade, throwing rocks and other objects at police. Police say they moved in at that point, they threw some stun grenade, some of which landed inside of the mosque, they were shooting Rubber Bullets into the crowd, and an imam at one point was calling for calm. But all of this is not happening in a vacuum. As you noted, there have been weeks of boiling, rising tensions in the city. Two weeks ago, there was quite a few clashes at the gate, one of the entrances to the old city, and police were trying to prevent palestinians from gathering outside the gate. That led to clashes. On one of those nights there was a march of hundreds of jewish extremists through jerusalem who at one point were chanting death to arabs, they were also some incidents of violence in an israeli on palestinian and contributing to a lot of the tension last night are the possible evictions of some plin families in the neighborhood of jerusalem, this is coming together, reaching a Boiling Point last night, with some of the significant Tension And Unrest the city has seen for some time. Reactions have been pouring in from other countries, from international nation, from the european union, the united States Department of state said in a statement that there is no excuse for violence but such bloodshed is especially disturbing now coming as it does on the last days of ramadan and calling on israeli and palestinian officials to act decisively to deescalate tensions and bring a halt to the violence. The israeli Foreign Ministry for its part is saying the Palestinian Authority and what theyre calling palestinian terrorist groups are presenting a real estate dispute, what theyre refer together possible eviction. But many people who came here are concerned about the next couple of days because as noted tonight is a holy day, one of the holiest nights of ramadan. And monday is known as jerusalem, a day that israel Marks Control of the western wall, and it is also the day that we may be seeing a supreme Court Decision on those possible evictions, in the neighborhood, so just a confluence of event, all of this tension coming together and putting the city completely on edge. Kim . We will keep our eye on those stories for sure. Hadas gold in jerusalem, thank you so much. The united states is making strides in its fight against the pandemic. Cases nationwide are on the decline. And the centers for Disease Control and prevention says one in three americans are now fully vaccinated. But Pfizer And Moderna warn Booster Shots may be needed to take on the more transmissible variants. The possibility of additional shots some medical experts are hopeful a new move by pfizer will reduce vaccine hesitancy. Cnns Erica Hill has details. Reporter pfizer applying for full Fda Approval of its vaccine for ages 16 and up. For a lot of people who are on the fence, who are worried about well, this is an emergency use, should i get vaccinated, it will give them confidence. And then a lot of businesses who want to require that their employees be vaccinated, but have been waiting for this full approval, i think its going to bump up vaccinations for a lot of folks. Reporter a third of the u. S. Population is now fully vaccinated. More than 150 Million have at least one dose. But the average daily pace of vaccinations continues to drop. When you get vaccinated, though, you break that chain of transmission. By giving the virus one less place to hide in your community. Reporter that proof in the numbers. The average rate of hospitalizations and daily reported deaths across the country continues to fall. And normal life feels closer than ever. We need to give people a sense of hope an encouragement that things will get better. New York City restaurants can see diners inside at 75 capacity. Kentuckys governor referred to lifting all Capacity Restrictions in july. We held the largest Sporting Event since the Covid Pandemic started. We are doing this right. The former head of the fda says its time to move forward. I think we should start lifting these restrictions as aggressively as we put them in. I think the only way to earn public credibility is to demonstrate youre willing to relax the provisions when the situation improves. Thats what gives you the credibility to implement them when things worsen. Air travel hit a new pandemic record. The tsa screened more than 1. 64 million people wednesday. A recent Travel Survey shows 72 of americans plan to take a vacation this summer. Thats up from just 37 in 2020. Yet another sign of prepandemic norms, slowly returning. Just pay attention to how much infection there is in the community, exercise some basically level of safeguards, i think its very safe to do something this summer. Reporter the cdc is upping its guidance on how covid spread, stressing that this is airborne, and its spread when an infected person breathes out. Those most at risk are anyone within six feet of that person, and avoid getting infected, wear a mask and continue to wash your hands frequently. In new york, Erica Hill, cnn. For the Third Day in a row, indias Health Ministry is reporting more than 400,000 new covid cases. Thats 1. 2 million people infected since wednesday. An unprecedented rate. And for the first time more than 4,000 people have died in just 24 hours. Have a look here. The red areas of the map show the vastness of the covid catastrophe. On the southWest Coast, more than half of those tested are coming back positive. Funeral fires along the Ganges River are burning nonstop even as the second wave exacts a heavy toll, the nation is bracing for many predict will become a third wave of sickness and death. It might be thousands of miles away, but the Covid Crisis in India Isnt far from the minds of people of indian descent now living in other parts of the world. Earlier this week, in london, nearly 800 cyclists pedalled a virtual relay to delhi and back raising money to provide equipment, and Hospital Bed and. Jen to those suffering back home. You know, when youre talking to your relatives, absolutely, do you feel really helpless, but i think thats where, in any way possible, that we can help. While many expats are feeling helpless, many are trying to do their part to help those in india. And one of those people is sunil tulani, the Founder And Ceo of Prince Organization and joins me now from yorba linda, california. Thanks for joining us. The Reports Night after night has been Heart Breaking for anyone basically with a heart but people like yourself with a personal connection to india, whats hit you the most . You know, its, ive been watching cnn for the last couple of weeks, when ive been traveling on the east coast, and you know, this coverage on cnn, and all of the scenes coming from india, its like an inferno, you know, rows and rows of patients, and struggling to breathe, and women are crying, you know, and its a tragedy, you know, it looks like the total catastrophic response from the people and the government, and it seems that its just been a farfetched thing, with the air pollution, which is very high in india, people have fatalities. No social distancing, no wearing of masks and all, so these are the things which are extremely high risk for them. And contributed to this Covid Infection over there. You and other people in the Diaspora Havent just washed it off, but instead youre doing something about it. What motivated you to say to yourself and to say to others to say that you have a role to play here . You know, My Family, first off, My Family has pledged to contribute a share of our unit blessings to have a positive impact on the lives of others in the world. When i was growing up, i saw my mom, i saw my grandmother, they are tireless examples of compassion, empathy, giving people hope, courage, kindness, and changing lives, and so then i came to america, america has made my dreams come true, i started here, and you know, i reached a destination here, so india is my country, its my motherland, its like my mother, india, so we really have to take care of our mother and our motherland. In your previous answer there, i heard you say that the government had a part to play here, youve been critical of the governments handling of this. Specifically where do you think theyve been the most negligent . Well, last year, when the Covid Phase one hit india, thank god it was not that bad over there, but im sure all of the indians and mr. Modi and his administration has seen the havoc which we have been going through in the u. S. , and then in london, also, lockdown, and then again lockdown, anden this again lockdown, and i think if they would have prepared, and kept their shutdown, or you know, social distancing in place, people are using the masks, and making sure that all of the oxygen is there, supplies are there, and not doing all of these, not allowing people to do these mask weddings, playing cricket and festivals, and new festival, all of these things, those were the super spreaders. Given that and the fact that there has been a huge, reporting of huge delays, about deploying the aid that has been given from foreign countries to india, are there any worries about the aid that youre organizing, it wont be dispersed quickly enough or to the right places . No, i think right now, i have confidence in india. They have really, really trying to put their act together. They know now, you know, the tragedies at their doors, and it is far from, what is the word, hopeless, it is a monumental crisis, and they are doing everything in their power. Before we go, i just want to ask, if people do want to help, how can they do this . There are many, many ways to help, you know. They can make direct contributions, like i have been doing, that is i know that there are a lot of asianamerican, and the association, putting their groups together, where we have 19,000 members. I have personally reached out to the biden government. Ive reached out to all my partners and intercontinental hotels and choice hotels and marriotts and all, and all of these doctors, associations in america, all of the local temples, everyone is pitching in. Everyone is doing something big, something small, or doing something, to take care of our motherland. Well, its a great thing that youre doing, and by the same token its a shame that it should have to come to this, but thank you very much for sharing your stories, really appreciate it. Thank you, thank you. Here in the u. S. , the Coronavirus Pandemic is being blamed for a dismal Jobs Report for the month of april. 266,000 jobs were added. Far below what economists predicted. Well, that has president Joe Biden pushing his economic package even harder. Cnns Kaitlan Collins has more from the white house. Digging out of an economic collapse. Reporter president biden reacting to the grim new Jobs Report today. The virus has stolen jobs but we cant let up. This Jobs Report makes that clear. Reporter u. S. Employers added just 266,000 jobs in april, far short of the One Million that economists had predicted, and far below the numbers in march. Biden arguing that the hiring slowdown only rein forces the need for his economic agenda. So the critics said that we didnt need the american rescue plan, that this economy would just heal itself. Thank goodness we passed the american rescue plan. Reporter but Business Groups and republicans say the enhanced Unemployment Benefits that biden extended in that plan are encouraging out of Work Americans to stay home, and leading it a labor shortage. That number suggests very strongly that the Unemployment Benefits are too generous and too long. Reporter the president is pushing back, and insisting todays data is not that is not the case. Todays report is rebuttal. The data shows that more workers, more workers are looking for jobs and many cant find them. Treasury secretary Janet Yellen echoed president biden but conceded that some businesses have complained directly to the white house. Theres no question that were hearing from businesses, that they are having difficulty hiring workers. I really dont think the major factor is the extra unemployment. Some Business Owners are proposing their own solutions. People should keep the Unemployment Benefits if they go to work now, and they commit to working until the end of the year. The shock over the lackluster Jobs Report is stirring debate in washington over the best way to revive an economy weakened by the pandemic. The american rescue plan, the 1. 9 trillion bill passed in march was too much. I dont think there is any question about that. Biden says it will take time for the 1. 9 trillion bill to reinvigorate the economy, pointing to the 1. 5 million jobs created since he took office. We knew this wouldnt be a sprint. It would be a marathon. Quite frankly, were moving more rapidly than i thought we would. Now, even as president biden tried to frame that Jobs Report today as a sign that the economy is picking up, that its going to be a long road out, officials did admit they were surprised by the number, including Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen who told reporters in the Briefing Numbers if she had to guess a number, she would have guessed higher than the 266,000 jobs but right now theyre focusing on whats to come and insisting this is a Volatility Issue and it could be different by the time the next Jobs Report rolls around. Kat Kaitlan Collins, cnn, the white house. What went up is about to come down. No one knows where parts of the 22ton Rocket might crash but china is getting a lot of heat over it.

Debris from a chinese rocket about the size of a tenstory building is expected to come crashing downtoearth sometime this weekend. And although the risk it poses is small, Scientists Cant be sure exactly where it might end up. And thats sparking calls for better regulation of space. Cnns David Culver has the latest from shanghai. Reporter what goes up must come down. The question is, where . Scientists say they will not know the exact Entry Point of the 22ton chinese rocket until its so close, its only hours away from reentry. Experts say dont panic. This is not like a Hollywood Blockbuster where the impact of something from Outer Space threatens to end the world. But uncontrolled Space Junk crashing back to earth is a growing concern. Whats expected to hit earth this weekend is the empty core of a rocket thats been losing Orbit Its since launch much of which should burn up in the atmosphere but some pieces could get through, like last year, when the largest piece of Space Debris in 30 years landed in the Atlantic Ocean and over parts of africa, remnants of a similar chinese rocket. The chinese have this new type of rocket called the long mark 5b, and unlike other big rockets, it Litters Space by leaving its big 20ton Core Stage in orbit, and american rockets, russian rockets, European Rockets dont do that. Chinese State Media says the risk of it hitting a populated area are low. And suggested it may fall in international waters or burn up on reentry. A fair guess since more than 70 of the planet is covered in water. The united states is tracking its course and says right now it has no plans to shoot it down. But with a cloud of 9,000 tons of Rocket Boosters and dead satellites flowing above, there are growing calls for regulation of what gets sent to space and how it returns. As we think about launching rockets at lower orbits we have to have a set of norms so everybody is playing off the same sheet of Music And Everybody is focused on the safety of flight. We dont have that sort of thing right now. Until then, all eyes are on the skies this weekend, with the questions of when, where, and how much debris will fall, still up in the air. And despite what u. S. Officials are tracking, chinese officials have remained relatively quiet. With one exception, being friday during a press conference, when they said that the chances of this rocket doing any Harm Or Damage are extremely low. Chinese State Media going a step further calling a lot of this coverage, our coverage, western media hype. David culver, cnn, shanghai. Well, is it hype . Lets bring in Cnn Meteorologist Derek van dam. If Neil Degrass Tyson isnt worried, then neither am i. You heard it perfectly and succinctly in that package, it is something to monitor, and need to be aware of future launches into space as well. Now, The Big Question here is when and where . And scliftientists and the peop crunching the numbers behind the scenes are starting to narrow in Om Son locations. A lot of information to unpact here. This is actually a current track of the long march 5b market, about to enter the West Coast of the united states, and pay attention to that yellow line. That is actually called an orbital path. This is the path that Space Debris, Space Junk, satellites take as they kir circum navigate entire world. And you see another map here with several orbital paths. This is, according to aerospace. Org, the best Guess Efforts that scientists have to put a trajectory on this. When will it land . When will it reenter in our atmosphere . The best Guess Calls for around midnight local eastern standard time. Give or take eight hours. On sunday morning. So youre looking at the time there, highlighted in yellow. Of course, there are verifications and deviations. This thing is literally hurdling at 18,000 miles per hour. In orbit at the moment. So any deviation from that path will have a major impact on where this thing actually ends up. At the moment, we have focused in on the south pacific, specifically across the. It asmin sea just off the coast of new zealand, between australia and new zealand, thats the area that area space. Org has shifted and altered just because of the Tran Trajectory of the rocket that continues to barrel towards earth. As we discussed already, this is really interesting. Over 70 of the world covered in water. The remaining area covered in land. It is only populated with 10 of the Human Population there on the ground. So very unlikely to impact us here. Back to you. Kim . Thank you for the assurance. Appreciate it. Derek van dam. Thursdays elections in the u. K. Gave Boris Johnson Reason to celebrate.

In the past 72 hours, more than One Million people across the country have been infected. And for the first time, the government reports more than 4,000 deaths in a single day. Some of the most alarming figures are coming out of the coastal state of goa, a popular tourist destination.

Cnn followed one covid warrior, as he and his team worked nonstop to answer desperate pleas. A Grieving Daughter says her final goodbye. Before her Fathers Body burns to ash in this electric crematorium. The daughter who asked for her identity to remain private during this emotional time says she never will forget how he collapsed in her arms the night before. Suffering from covid19, her Fathers Oxygen levels started falling. After frantic calls, a colleague reached out, the wing of an opposition political party for what most of delhi has been desperately looking for, an oxygen cylinder, which was soon delivered by his team to her house but later that night, when the cylinder ran out of oxygen, her father ran out of breath. People need oxygen. Alone, fragile, and covid19 positive, she asked for the cremated body, and he did, along with his team. While an unwell mother and an Infant Brother who lives overseas looked on. She has barely slept. The phone doesnt stop ringing. Desperate relatives beg for help with their medicines and oxygen. People call through the night. At 2 00 a. M. At 3 00 a. M. Begging for small oxygen cylinder, he says. But he must soldier on. Despite criticism from an indian government official, that this is all a public relations ploy. But at the time when the government is still getting its act together, thousands of Social Media reaching out to his group for help. He says the way he cries at night, so many Heart Breaking case parents have left behind young children, who will take care of them, he asks. The Support Staff back her had prioritized pleas through Social Media. Which has then been forwarded to teams in delhi and states across india. We segregate Medicine And Icu requests here and forward it a team, he says. A desperate call for help interrupts a conversation. A father begs for an oxygen cylinder, for his 3yearold son. The Team Set off with a cylinder. A visibly weak College Professor waits outside his house for his sons lifeline. He asked us to keep some distance. Hes covid positive. He cant thank him enough. The Boys Father says the service is a service to humanity. He did not ask me which political party i support, or Craft Caste i belong to. This is how people should help.

The Himalayan Nation reported more than 9100 covid cases on friday, a new record. Just a month ago, nepal was posting about 100 infections a day. Nepal has tightened the border with india and reported lockdowns in regions including the Capital Katmandu and appealing to the international community for help. Still in asia, an uptick in new cases is forcing changes in whats considered one of the pandemics safe spots. Singapore. The city is tightening covid restrictions starting today through may 30th. They include longer quarantines for travelers from other, from highrisk country, and the size of the public gatherings will be lowered from eight people to five and indoor gyms will have to close. Singapores Ministry Of Health reported 25 new cases friday. In the u. K. , england is loosening some of the Travel Restrictions for Holiday Makers wanting to go abroad. Travelers can visit 12 greenless Companies Starting May 17th without having to quarantine when they return. All of the countries have been placed on amber and red lists. VarCyril Varnier joins me live m london. Finally the english can get away to get some sun. So explain how exactly this is meant to work. Reporter kim, were just nine days away, in this country, from englands residents being allowed once again to take a foreign holiday. It has been illegal for the past few months, so they were really eagerly anticipating the governments announcement yesterday, there is a list of 12 countries starting May 17th that they will be able to holiday in, without having to quarantine upon their return. That quarantine is no joke because i went to france and came back and i had to stay here in this house for ten days, and police knocked at my door twice, and not a nice feeling, and they really are checking that you do respect that quarantine. So most holidaygoers will not be able to have that time commitment of staying ten days at home when they come back. So they will have to prioritize one of these 12 countries on the green list. Now, 12 countries, when you take away the faraway islands that most people wont realistically be able to go to, the south sandwich island, the south helena island, that list gets shorter. When you take away destinations that are not prime Sunshine Destinations like iceland, the list gets shorter still. Theres also australia, new zealand, singapore on that list, and fine holiday destinations but a, theyre pretty far away, and b, this was not made clear yesterday, but the devils in the details, if you stop over, if you transit anywhere on your way to australia, thats not on the grease green list, you have to quarantine on your way back because technically you stopped over in an amber or red country. So really if you want some sun that is not too far away, thats doable and youre an england traveler, the list goes down to Israel And Portugal and gibraltar. So yes, there is relief. But its a pretty short list of countries that you can easily go to for your holiday, kim. Thats right. It seems pretty random. While we hope for more countries added to that list in the future. Thanks so much, Cyril Varnier in london. Appreciate it. Coming up, Congressman Matt Gaetz launching his america first tour. Even though hes under investigation.

Embattled florida republican Congressman Matt Gaetz has made his most high Profile Appearance yet since em provided, embroile in scandal. Looking at Sex Trafficking allegations and more and hit the stage with another controversial member of congress, Marjorie Taylor green, pushing all sorts of debunked far right conspiracy theory, both spreads the Big Lie saying the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump and here is what they said as they kick off america first tour. Im a marked man in congress. Im a canceled man in some corners of the internet. Im a wanted man by The Deep state but im a florida man and its good to be home. Indicated that former President Trump tell me, who is your president . Thats my president , too. Okay. Just wanted to make sure i was with friends and family. Not with antifa, or blm, or democrat socialists. Did anybody in here vote for Joe Biden . Do you guys really think he won . Now, gaetz also said that former President Trump might join them on tour. Well, Donald Trumps tight grip on the Republican Party is playing out in the congress, in a major way. Gop lawmakers hope to force out Liz Cheney, who is the Thirdranking Conservative in the house of representatives. The top candidate to replace her, stefanik, a diehard Trump Loyalist but she wasnt always this way. Manu raju has the details. Reporter congressman Liz Cheney said to be booted out of House Gop Leadership over a fight with former president Donald Trump, the likely replacement is burnishing protrump credentials. We need fighters. President trump is afighter on behalf of the american people. And thats what im committed to, unify the message and unify the support of our republican colleagues and fight for the support of hardworking american families. And looking at the past my vision is to run with support from the president. The Battle Over Trump and the future of the gop expected to come to a head next wednesday. When house republicans plan to remove cheney after shes called Out Trump for his lie that he won the 2020 election. Stefanik, on the other hand, backed efforts in the court and in congress to overturn bidens victory. The Unity Cant exist under those pretenses so what theyre saying is if you dont go along with the Big Lie, if you dont go along with the fact that the election was stolen, then you basically need to go. And thats what that unity is. Conservatives now are scrutinizing stefaniks record. Where she broke with trump on his tax cuts, border wall, afghanistan, and the environment. Shes very much a liberal. Her ambition told her, well, i better get on board with President Trump. But our worry is when she gets into leadership, she has no principles at that point. Reporter stefanik was once a trump critic. I think he has been insulting to women. Reporter won trumps affection by vigorously defending him during his first impeachment and elevating her stature and winning over kevin mccarthy, quietly orchestrating the shakeup and keeping in close contact with trump. Yet the Senate Gop Leader wants nothing to do with the former president and the house gop turmoil. Do you support liz remaining in a position of power, yes or no . What im focusing on is this new administration. Reporter many republicans downplaying former president s role in the January 6th capitol attack. I would say to my republican colleagues, can we move forward without President Trump . The answer is no. Reporter now stefanik is still trying to shore up her ghflank and meet with most conservative members of the House Republican Conference On Monday and members of the House Freedom Caucus because of concerns of her more moderate Voting Record in the past and there are some questions too if in fact the vote would definitely take place on wednesday. That is the expectation at the moment. But if more republicans raise concerns, more conservatives say they want to bet her record, its possible that vote could be delayed and that could potentially be problematic for stefanik, even though it is still widely believed she will ultimately get the votes to become the next conference chair. But this is a secret ballot election. And secret ballots can go anyway way. Especially if debate shifts when the closed door meetings happen on wednesday. So a lot of questions going forward about the future of the party, as stefanik is trying to lock down votes to assure her ascension into leadership. Manu raju, cnn, capitol hill. Donald trumps Big Lie about a stolen election is fueling republican efforts in various states to adopt laws which critics say restrict Voting Rights. On friday, the Texas State House passed a republican backed Election Bill supposedly to tackle Voting Fraud and make voting more fraud. To be clear, theres no evidence of fraud in last Years President ial election. And democrats and the Voting Rights groups slammed bill as an attempt to suppress the vote. The bill now goes to the senate in texas. And georgia and florida have already passed restrictive voting laws. The british Prime Minister is enjoying the sweet taste of victory after thursdays elections. But the counting is not over in scotland. Well explain why it could lead to the Prime Minister with a bitter aftertaste. Stay with us. Its a tight race in scotland, where were waiting on final results of parliamentary elections. There many people, even half a world away, are paying close attention to see if Nicholas Sturgeons party wins and thats because the Scottish National Party is pushing for a second independence referendum. Cnns Bianca Nobilo joins us live now. Possibly huge implications here. Whats the latest . Reporter youre right, kim. Sturgeon has said that she will press ahead for legislation for a second referendum on scott Scottish Independence if the smp or other parties manage to create a majority for independence and that is a really important thing to watch out for today, kim. The smp, Sturgeons Party is, trying to cross that threshold to get to 65 seats out of the 129 available. But even if they dont, theres still a possibility that there could be a majority for independence in scotland. And that would be if the Scottish National Party won around 63 seats, or perhaps 64 and then they made up the rest with the green party, another party in scotland, that is pushing for independence.
