Question: How many Jews live in the continent of the first leg of Queen's mid 2000s tour with the performer of Now and Live/

prior to 1948, approximately 800,000 jews were living in lands which now make up the arab world (excluding israel). of these, just under two-thirds lived in the french-controlled maghreb region, 15–20% in the kingdom of iraq, approximately 10% in the kingdom of egypt and approximately 7% in the kingdom of yemen. a further 200,000 lived in pahlavi iran and the republic of turkey. today, around 26,000 jews live in arab countries and around 30,000 in iran and turkey. a small-scale exodus had begun in many countries in the early decades of the 20th century, although the only substantial aliyah came from yemen and syria. the exodus from arab and muslim countries took place primarily from 1948. the first large-scale exoduses took place in the late 1940s and early 1950s, primarily in iraq, yemen and libya, with up to 90% of these communities leaving within a few years. the peak of the exodus from egypt occurred in 1956. the exodus in the maghreb countries peaked in the 1960s. lebanon was the only arab country to see a temporary increase in its jewish population during this period, due to an influx of refugees from other arab countries, although by the mid-1970s the jewish community of lebanon had also dwindled. in the aftermath of the exodus wave from arab states, an additional migration of iranian jews peaked in the 1980s when around 80% of iranian jews left the country.

The first leg was in Europe, the second in Japan, and the third in the US in 2006. The band's drummer Roger Taylor commented; "We never thought we would tour again, Paul [Rodgers] came along by chance and we seemed to have a chemistry. Paul is just such a great singer. He's not trying to be Freddie." Queen received the inaugural VH1 Rock Honors at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, on 25 May 2006. The Foo Fighters paid homage to the band in performing "Tie Your Mother Down" to open the ceremony before being joined on stage by May, Taylor, and Paul Rodgers, who played a selection of Queen hits. <SEP> In fact, it is a re-release of the studio album "Now" including a disc of live material recorded in 1995 and issued on the album "". Now & Live is a double CD compilation-like album released in 1997 by Paul Rodgers of Free and Bad Company fame. <SEP> These numbers include all those who self-identified as Jews in a socio-demographic study or were identified as such by a respondent in the same household. The exact world Jewish population, however, is difficult to measure. According to a report published in 2014, about 43% of all Jews reside in Israel (6.1 million), and 40% in the United States (5.7 million), with most of the remainder living in Europe (1.4 million) and Canada (0.4 million). In addition to issues with census methodology, disputes among proponents of halakhic, secular, political, and ancestral identification factors regarding who is a Jew may affect the figure considerably depending on the source. <SEP> on 15 august 2006, brian may confirmed through his website and fan club that queen + paul rodgers would begin producing their first studio album beginning in october, to be recorded at a "secret location". queen + paul rodgers performed at the nelson mandela 90th birthday tribute held in hyde park, london on 27 june 2008, to commemorate mandela's ninetieth birthday, and again promote awareness of the hiv/aids pandemic. the first queen + paul rodgers album, titled the cosmos rocks, was released in europe on 12 september 2008 and in the united states on 28 october 2008. following the release of the album, the band again went on a tour through europe, opening on kharkiv's freedom square in front of 350,000 ukrainian fans. the kharkiv concert was later released on dvd. the tour then moved to russia, and the band performed two sold-out shows at the moscow arena. having completed the first leg of its extensive european tour, which saw the band play 15 sold-out dates across nine countries, the uk leg of the tour sold out within 90 minutes of going on sale and included three london dates, the first of which was the o2 on 13 october. the last leg of the tour took place in south america, and included a sold-out concert at the estadio josé amalfitani, buenos aires.
