several others were injured. it's a testing time in the israeli palestinian conflict and both sides on edge since three teenage settlers were kidnapped and killed in the occupied west bank. hours after they were buried a 16-year-old palestinian was abducted, his body was later found burned, the early autopsy results show he was alive when he was set on fire. >> translator: i asked for a community to be formed in connection to the terrorist crimes that have been committed to the palestinian people and the aggression especially the burning of the child mohammed abu khdeir who was burned alive. >> reporter: israeli police arrested several jewish suspects and say there is strong indication their motive was revenge for the deaths of the teenage settlers and the prime minister benjamin netanyahu condemned the killings and had a

message for relatives. >> translator: i would like to send condolence to the family of the young man and will deal firmly with this horrifying crime, these murders do not have a place in israeli society. >> reporter: but those words have done little to calm the situation. thousands of palestinians demonstrated in the streets of rafa on sunday voicing their discontent and vowing revenge. the protest feed into a cycle of retaliation that raised israeli palestinian tensions to a dangerous level, john in gaza. >> we are in jerusalem and joins me live from there and in addition to the tensions going across the occupied areas israeli media talking about tensions within the ranks of the israeli government, what more do we know about that? >> well, sammy we are reading

some reports in israeli newspapers suggesting that the foreign minister leiberman who belongs to the israel betu party may be breaking the partnership up with netanyahu's party, now this partnership was formed in order for netanyahu to have this coalition government. according to these reports, leiberman may be making this announcement to dismantle the partnership in the next hour or so. he may be making this formal announcement. now what we know from analysts is apparently tensions are rising between netanyahu and leiberman, probably about the issue of gaza and netanyahu has made it clear in the last few days that maybe now is not the time for an escalation. and leiberman known to be a right wing minister wants a comprehensive military operation against gaza and probably believes netanyahu is not

handling the rockets that are being fired from gaza in central israel well enough. this is not the first time that tensions rise between these two. we also know from analysts that leiberman is known to flip-flop between representing the right wing and the center right wing and also not clear whether this would effect the coalition government but for now these are reports we are getting from israeli media and we cannot confirm them until there is an official announcement of the partnership by leiberman who is expected to make statements and give a news conference in the coming hour. >> keep our eye on it later and thanks so much. crowds are gathering in the kenya capitol ahead of a planned opposition rally on monday and calling for a national dialog and the president says he won't talk unless it's inside parliament and we are in nairobi and looks like still quite a party gathering behind you.

>> yeah, it's a carnival-like atmosphere sammy at the moment and seem to be more policemen in nairobi, 16,000 than actual people turning up for the rally but it's early days, if i step out of the way so i can show you what is going on with people dancing we understand there was an incident just about an hour ago in central nairobi where we had some protesters who were getting up on important statutes and they were using tear gas but it's a relatively good natured so far. but of course people in this country are concerned about what this means for ethnic tensions, many of the people here are from certain tribes and the people in government are from certain tribes. and the worry is that this could just polorize the country and nobody wants to go back to the dark days of violence in 2007 and 2008 but people do have

legitimate concerns about the increase and insecurity in the country and they want to talk to the gof about the insecurity and feel like the government doesn't have a handle on things at the moment. >> reporter: natalie what exactly does the opposition want from the government, it says it wants to talk directly to the president about things like security, corruption and so on? >> let's give a list of demands to the government and one of the demands is increasing security in certain parts of the country, in particularly dealing with insecurity on the coast. we have seen in the past month various attacks that have claimed almost 100 lives. the economy of the country is being decimated particularly in terms of tourism by these attacks. and they want to talk to the government particularly about security but also corruption as well and inequality and some of

these issues were about election related and of course he lost the election last year so his opponents are saying you lost the election and let the government get on with the work with security and providing security for the country and the economy, why are you coming back and promoting yourself in such a way. >> all right, thanks for the update. now ukraine's president says he plans to seize more territory from anti-government rebels after capturing the town and they have regrouped in gonyesk and pope francis celebrated a private mass for six people sexually abused by priest and britain, german and island are meeting with the church with private residents now and tim friend is live from the vatican and what is going on in that meeting then, tim? >> well, one can imagine this would be an incredibly difficult and probability emotional

meeting with the six victims of church abuse and it's the first of its kind to take place if the vatican ever and the current pope who was elected february last year has met victims of abuse. he has been criticized for being slow to act but he is now meeting two people from ireland, two people from the uk, two people from germany. we understand all they the vatican is saying very little, they are in their 30s and leads one to think that perhaps the abuse took place some years ago when they were in their teens. the campaigners for people who have been abused globally by priests and there are many thousands of them are not happy with this meeting. they say that at best it's a placebo and at worst it's exploitation by the church to try to give the appearance that they are doing something when in actual fact very little has

changed. the investigations are still in private. priests under investigation have been moved from parish to parish with the colusion of bishops and groups are unhappy about this meeting and say it will do little to solve the overriding problem. >> reporting from the vatican there, tim friend. straight in government admitted a boat load of 41 asylum seekers were handed over to authorities and more than 200 people intercepted last week and no news on what happened to the remaining asylum seekers and human rights group said they could be tortured if they are sent back home. family of jailed al jazeera journalists, peter greste launched a new ap peach for freedom and he is in egypt with colleagues mohamed and bahir for 191 days and florence has more.

he picked up at a protest and video was used to convict them from another channel and al jazeera rejects charges and demands their release and journalists and government and international institutions around the world calling for their freedom. speaking to the egyptian media recently the president si si says some look at us as if we are interfering in the system and the victim against some journalists had a very negative effect and we had nothing to do with it and he went on to say i wish they were deported after their arrest instead of being put on trial. but the cold hard truth remains, three men are still behind bars in a prison in egypt for doing their job as journalists and convicted on false charges the families are paying the price as well seeing their loved ones suffer but determined to do all they can to secure their freedom, i'm with al jazeera in

these circumstances it is more suffering for those already displaced. fortunately it didn't rain long enough to flood out the tents but there is a real risk of that happening if it rains for longer, as with every conflict in the world it's the most vulnerable who suffer the most, this camel and the children who despite the hardships continue to smile are an example of just how true that is but like this little girl they are a testament to the fact that conflict can kill lives but it cannot kill people's will to live, i'm with al jazeera, northern iraq. and police in kuwait fired tear gas and stun georgia mads in the fifth day of violence from protesters and they reached court buildings where they are being held. he is facing trial after alleging senior officials and members of the royal family stole tens of billions of
