>> we are watching israel today, and they are firing bad. palestine continues to mourn the death of a body found yesterday and some believe it was a revenge death. nick is live and the funeral for the 16-year-old is delayed? >> yeah, this is news just in to aljazeera, del, the family lawyer told us that there's been an agreement between the police and the family, that the funeral is delayed and the family requested that the body be turned over and with the custom they want to bury somebody as quickly as possibly. the lawyer is saying there is an agreement between the police and

the family and the funeral is tomorrow. that is most likely increasing the hostility on the street in the neighborhood with the classes increasing and the anger on the street, and increasing the grief that the family is feeling. the anger is still smoldering and the family is burying their 17-year-old and outside the tear gas is hanging in the air, inside a mother surrounded by her family saying there is a hole in inside of you. >> will you ever feel whole again? >> i feel, she says, like my heart is ripped out. >> mohammad was taken next to the home in front of the shops and when the news spread of the death the neighborhood exploded. this is a garbage dumpster that

the neighbors use. today's violence has two fronts, the rockets are finding the targets and last night and this morning two rockets slammed into the neighborhood and apartments were hit and luckily no injuries, the families are hiding in the safe rooms, just like this one. we spept the day with a family, four kids and growing up with the rocket threats and they have memoryized a 15 second song. 15 seconds, because that is how long they have to run to a shelter before the missile can hit. >> it is our normalized. it is our routine. >> i sleep in the bomb shelter. so yes, i do and it wakes me up a lot. but you get used to it.

are sending more troops to gaza? >> yeah, on the face, it is looking like escalation, the israeli troops are on the border of gaza and hamas is using a lot of rhetoric and as they talk about the number of troops going to the border, this is not the escalation nor on invasion, this is defensive in their recowords. hamas is saying we want to restore the calm. both sides are aggressive, rockets from gaza and falling to israel and air strikes from israel to gaza but they have the understanding from the two sides that so long as the rockets are falling into the empty fields the air strikes are into empty training fields, so long as that

holds the both sides are trying to not the escalate too much. >> thank you, nick. >> meanwhile, saudi arabia is sending 30,000 of the troops to protect the border with iraq. as many as 45 people killed on wednesday in the clashes between the iraqi security forces. meanwhile kurds are now wanting to full independence. they are meeting today to decide their future. we have more. >> they have two main messages to the parliament here. the first was areas, disputed areas you should -- under the control of the kurdish forces,

after the advancements of the sunni rebels in north, those areas are remaining kurdish areas. something that is a direct response to statements made by maliki on wednesday and just because iraq is in a conflict with the north, it is not excuse for the kurdish politicians to take this as the opportunity to try to create a status quo and the disputed areas are under their control. the second important message to the parliament was directing them to form a committee, that sets about the way in which those living here in the north of iraq would go to the polls in a referendum to city their fate, essentially whether they are going to be an amon mouse region in iraq or separating and have their own state and adding to the political chaos that

continued political struggle and power struggle here in iraq. >> ukraine and russia is restarting the peace talks by saturday. they are trying to carve out a cease fire agreement. until then the fire continues in the east. this is the scene kiev that the troops launching a broad offensive in the eastern part of the country. there have been more than a hundred clashes. a u.s. is ramping up the u.s. security overseas and worried that the al qaeda groups are working on explosives to get past the airport screeners. they are incruising the scrutiny on the passengers travelling to the u.s. >> a town in california is bracing for more immigrants to

struggling. we still have not seen as much increase in income and wages as we would like to see. a lot of folks are still digging themselves out of challenges that arose out of the great recession. >> for the investors they are liking what they are seeing, within opening wall street, the dow climbed and up 92 points, which would be an another record. the jobs report is part of a larger narrative and some states as you heard the president say the jobless rate is higher now than before the recession, and 3 million americans are out of work for at least six months. we have a report. >> come on in. >> twice a month at this church in washington, d.c. they are welcoming the people nearby that say they need help. here neighbors can pick up a box of food to feed their families.

they are unemployed the likely they are depressed. out a year of work the level of depression doubles. that is because the u.s. economy improved but only for some americans. >> the recovery worked well for the people in the upper part of the economy, the bankers, the millionaires, the executives. >> those in the middle and working class told us us that the incomes are not keeping up with inflation and when the paychecks don't cover the bills they are coming here. before the u.s. recession she had a high paying salary position and working a number of jobs for tens of thousands less. >> it is just temporary. not permanent.
