>> israel's prime minister insists the campaign will go on until calm is restored. but there is tension in jerusalem after two attacks that police are link to go palestinians. we're live with the latest. also coming up in the program. baghdad order counter attacks on the islamic state group. and gunmen order

mobilization to defend the country. and 100 years on from the start to end all wars, europe pauses to remember the millions who died. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu said that the offensive on gaza will continue until calm is restored. partial cease-fire by the israeli army ended just over an hour ago. but even though israel said it would stop firing in certain parts of the strip some attacks still continue. this was the result of an attack on the refugee camp in northern gaza. one child was killed and 30 people were injured. hospitals are struggle to go cope with yet another influx. victims. the seven hours so-called cease-fire humanitarian window otherwise as it was known was

meant to allow displaced palestinians to return to their homes. it was also intended to allow badly needed aid and medical supplies. while in jerusalem tensions are also high after two attacks being linked to palestinians. a digger hit and killed a pedestrian as well as overturning an empty bus. now the driver of the digger was then shot and killed by police, and then in a separate attack in the city and off duty israeli soldier was injured in a shooting. well, israel's offensive has now stretched into its 28th day and the human toll continues to rise. 64 israeli soldiers have now been killed along with three civilians. one of whom was a thai national. now the number of palestinians fatality is far higher, gaza health ministry said 1,865 men, women and children have been killed. the u.n. estimates around 80% of them are civilians.

more than 9,470 gazans have within injured including 2,700 children. and more than a million ar quarter of a million are taking shelter in u.n. shelters. charles give us an idea of what is happening today particularly after the humanitarian window ended. >> reporter: as you remembered, the seven hour window did not last seven hours. in terms of what has happened in recent hours in the last 20 minutes or so we heard of two children who have been killed in airstrike in rafa. their home was hit. we've seen some of that concentrated fighting in the last couple of days. we heard tanks had been

operating. there is tank fire in and around the rafa crossing. we heard from the israeli that is they've closed the crossing over what they described as a security incident in the north of the gaza strip. and according to the ministry of health there were 22 people killed and have been killed so far here today, and another 32 bodies were retrieved from under the republic in various locations across the gaza strip. >> now charles two days ago alley told residents that they could return back to their homes, that it was safe. many chose not to. have many more areas been cleared for residents to return to? >> they have announced that one area is available for people to go back if they so choose. but people are absolutely

terrified of returning to their homes. for many what do they return to? this population of 60,000, the whole areas have been completely flattened. so a lot of fear and reluctance of people to go back and thousands remaining in these schools. you mention yes, people started to go back again, the area has suffered terribly. the question is really looking forward where schools are due to start again. we have these other schools and thousands of people too afraid to go back to places or literally do not have a home left standing. yes, these announcements gradually coming through almost daily with the israelis people can go back to these areas. reluctant to go back and very little for them to go back to.

>> charles, thank you for the update. they're speaking to us from gaza. well, as we reported, jerusalem is tense after a couple of attacks that the police are now suggesting maybe links to events in gaza. let's go to andrew simmons in whoa is live in west jerusalem. tell us more about these attacks. >> well, it was at the scene of one of these attacks. it was right beside the green line in west jerusalem, and construction working oh i, an excavator butting the bucket of this digger and turning the bus over, within minutes police responded, traffic officer open fired and after a volley of shots the driver was shot dead. his body removed and put on the

side of the road, a major sweep operation that took place with security services and forces right across this area of west jerusalem. then few hours later effectively a drive-by shooting a motorcyclist with a gun, and it was an off duty soldier who was hit. he received a serious wound but it is not believed to be life-threatening. we do understand that the security forces have stepped up with potential flash point areas and as far as the security services concerned they are suspicious of any usual actions anywhere in israel for that matter. >> we've just seen the end of the so-called seven hour

humanitarian window. in the meantime there is talk of possible peac cease-fire in cairo. where do you think this leads any cease-fire at all? >> well, it's right up in the air right now. with so many more people dying and so many children, the 72 hour cease-fire last friday which lasted a matter of less than two hours. now after the failure of that cease-fire with hamas blaming israel and israel blaming hamas, they don't want anything to do with the talks and they have no interest in cairo whatsoever because they don't believe there will be a breakthrough. hamas and the other palestinian

factions are in cairo. very little word is coming out of thee talks which have been broken by egypt. indeed, whether any action will be taken isn't clear. what we're hearing from prime minister netanyahu that this will end only when quiet and security are restored for the citizens of israel. now he intimates that the tunnel operation is all but complete. the impression given here is that the ground operation may be all but over but they will continue the airstrikes and the attacks on gaza that will certainly planning to stop any time soon. we're hearing now that's airstrikes are resuming. you heard charles stratford refer to the military that they'retively attacking again.

>> that's andrew simmons speaking to us from west jerusalem. >> iraq's prime minister has ordered airstrikes battling the kurdish area. >> reporter: it looked like a traffic jam but this was an exodus in northern iraq. many had to cross this bridge after leaving the latest fighting. forcing these civilians to leave the areas under control of surrenderish fighters. >> thousands of people have been killed, and thousands have become refugees. 40,000 have fled their homes.

they're controlled by the islamic state. they're killing the people and it's a big attack against them. >> reporter: fighters of the islamic state i.s. we're now waiting for the president's orders to attack them and wipe out the i.s. they're not going to let them get away. we'll kill them, wound them or arrest them. >> reporter: but it remains to be seen in kurdish fetterers strong enough to fight this on slot. they captured large parts of western iraq. they launched a military campaign across syria and iraq. in the latest offensive this time against the kurdish fighters they actual not only of several towns but three oil refineries.

making it unclear where they push to the nortthey--making it clear where they will push to the north. >> sunni fighters have crossed. 30 civilian and 16 soldiers have within killed in three days of violence and the arm said 22 of its troops are missing. >> reporter: the lebanese military battle fighters from syria. for saturday and sunday military check points and applications were seized by gunmen believed to be affiliated with the islamic state group. some were killed and others kidnapped. >> the gunmen are everywhere. they put a checkpoint there and they're preventing anyone to enter or leave.

>> reporter: more than 100,000 people live there including many syrian refugees. those injured in the fighting are being treated in a makeshift hospital. >> most of the wound ready syrian who is live in makeshift camps. most of the wound ready children. there is no place for them to go. >> heavy shelling and street fighting continued on monday as the lebanese army tried to take control and the country's political leaders pushed for a quick end for the rebel attack. the prime minister said he'll continue with the military option. >> there is no solution with sunni extremist fighters who are working to bring the war to lebanon. the army has full support from major blocks and we will use all security forces to support our fight. >> it had been an important support base for rebels for some

offensive will continue until calm is restored. there have been more attacks and more victims during the seven hour humanitarian pause declared by israel. kurdish forces are launching a counter offensive after the group calling itself the islamic state made more gains. the lebanese army agrees to a temporary cease-fire after clashing on the border with syria. 16 soldiers have been killed, and they say more soldiers are missing. let's go to our top story on the offensive of gaza as palestinians struggle to feed themselves. many turn to what little land there is no grow crops. charles starter ford reports farmers are risking their lives to feed their families.

>> they try to gather as much of their chili pepper crop as they can. they have first light and they want to fill their sack fast. there could be an israeli air strike at any time. >> we're very afraid. if there were an airstrike here and we were injured no one would come to help. but this is our livelihood. we're also afraid if we don't pick the chilis now we'll lose the crop. >> this is only the third time that he and his brother have come out to pick their red peppers on the farms since the conflict began. it is because they, like other farmers here and in sudden areas of the gaza strip are terrified of israeli airstrikes. >> reporter: airstrikes have targeted the road along the city. a number of farmers have been killed in their fields or while driving to the market with their produce. in another field we find two

boys at their home that their family has owned for generatio generations. they have been too scared to tend the crops. >> there is no water to irrigate the plants. we invested all of our money into this crop. we're afraid to bring our sons to help because of the bombs. >> reporter: providing food forga did's 1.8 million people under israel's blockade. it's even tougher now. up to 400 trucks a day were bringing goods in before the fighting started. now it is as little as 40. in this gaza city market people are stocking up on as much produce as quickly as they can. there were airstrikes close by as we filmed. >> the traders suffer because they come under shelling. there are few people buying, too, because there are no salaries, no electricity, no water, no gas. it's a disaster.

>> reporter: food and vegetables are imported from israel. they are more expensive now. prices for some goods have increased 90% in recent weeks. >> in general death would be better than life in this situation. things are so expensive and the quality of things s so poor. >> they put the chilis on their bicycle. they want to get into town as fast as they can. it's a three kilometer road on a road that they rarely risk traveling on. >> while fighting between armed groups continued in libya the country held its first formal session. fighting in tripoli and ben gas did i has maibengahzi has made the traveling unsafe.

a summit aims to trade. the u.s. is africa's third trading partner but lags behind europe and china. america said its interests go beyond i'l oil and minerals. they expect to use the summit to announce nearly a million dollars worth of business deals and will announce peacekeeping funds in six african countries and boost food programs. on the agenda, peace and democracy. >> u.s. president barack obama making the case african-americansafrica matters. >> the importance of this needs to be understood. africa is one of the fastest growing continents in the world. you have six of the ten fastest growing economies. >> reporter: this is the first time they're hosting a summit to

tap into that potential. since 2000 china has hosted five. and it's showing in the trade numbers. in the recent years exports between china and africa have jumped from $127 billion to almost $200 billion. for the u.s. just the opposite. it has dropped to below $100 billion. for the next three days the summit will focus on changing that, but the president is not going on his own charm offensive. unlike china's leadership he won't meet one-on-one with any of his african counter parts and there is no expectation of announcements to be made or deals to be finalized. >> what the chinese do at their summit is they roll out all these programs that have been rolled out between their counterparts. i haven't seen that here in washington. >> reporter: they're making the argument that china is using africa for its natural resources.

the u.s. want to be more of a partner but the president of the republic of the congo disagrees with that characterization. >> china doesn't get its natural resources for free. if commune needs to buy oil it buys oil at international market price. if it needs wood it buys it at international market price. china doesn't receive anything for free. >> it's clear that other countries have a big head start and one summit is unlikely to change that. al jazeera, washington. >> the "world health organization" said the number of people who have died in the west africa ebola outbreak has risen to 887. in nigeria a doctor has become a second confirmed case in the country. the doctor patrick sawyer died after arriving from monrovia.

nigeria is the fourth country to be infected. in china 391 people are confirmed dead after sunday's earthquake. many remain buried in the republic. as adrian brown reports thousands of rescuers are on their way to the remote location. >> reporter: relief and rescue workers are doing what they can. but their efforts are being hampered by aftershocks and poor weather. communications and electricity are also down. some search teams, though, have been able to reach the edges of the quake zone. it had already collapsed when we arrived. there were dead bodies everywhere. there are lots of injured people. >> reporter: the epicenter is the town where rescuers may have to reach on foot. many survivings spend the night in makeshift shelters. the liberation army is in involved and on their way to reinforce those already in the disaster zone.

the operation will be supervised by chinese's premiere who arrived earlier on monday. this mountainous area of southwest china is prone to earthquake. adrian brown, al jazeera. >> ukrainian government forces have recaptured a key rail hub from pro russian rebels. kiev had been intensifying it's campaign against separatists and it has been making steady gains. we go to slovyansk that had been recapped months ago. >> reporter: to get things moving again, to convince people the worst is now over. but it's a big job and many people here feel they have been left to fend for themselves. like ilya, whose home and garden center business was bombed into ruins. ten years of investment have gone, he says.

and no sign of the promised compensation from the government so far. in the town center he shows me where the separatists had their headquarters. he spied on them for the kiev government. he said not one of them have runaway from slovyansk. >> according to my information there are 200 to 250 people including some 250 russian specialists hiding in the forest. they're still active and threaten to come back and this frightens people. >> reporter: in this battle scared town ukraine's government needs to win over hearts and minds but it also wants to punish those who actively supported the straightist rebellion and this will involve a very difficult balancing act. in the town square they now wear the ukrainian national colors.

soldiers mingle with the local girls if there are separatist supporters here they're keeping a very low profile. everyone wants to stress their loyalty to ukraine. they're leading a discussion of what should happen to people who supported the separatists. >> each case needs to be treated individually. it depends on if someone was armed and whether they killed someone. maybe some should be forced to clean the streets. perhaps others should be september to prison for a month to help change their mind. >> reporter: clearing up a damage from a rocket attack that as long as a war in eastern ukraine drags on people in slovyansk will still feel their fate lies in the balance. al jazeera. >> it's exactly 100 years since the outbreak of world war i and commemoration events have been taking place. in scotland britain's prince charles and prime minister david cameron laid wreaths to honor the soldiers killed.

a separate ceremony was held at glasgow cathedral. french president françois hollande joined. starting a war that would be called the war to end all wars. >> more than 50 heads of state here gathered to memory rate those who died. the beginning of the great war this was the town that first came under seen by the german troops. they had swung into belgium to avoid the french fortifications and their first obstacle was liege. it was protected by very strong fortifications and the germans brought out one of its biggest guns, big bertha, which can fire shells of several hundred kilograms into forefications. it was the first time that gun

was used. soldiers actually wrote a boom about it, ending with the lines may god cut they from our soul. they helped the british to rush in and fill the gaps and keep them from reaching paris from the north. he said looking at those 100 years ago to a war that was supposed to end all wars, he's looking around and he sees the conflicts in syria and iraq, libya and of course in gaza. he said that europe must take a stronger role as a mediator and must try and solve these

conflicts. >> a reminder you can always keep up-to-date on the latest news including our top story and that is the conflict in gaza. we have analysis, features, interviews. everything you could want on www.aljazeera.com. >> hi i'm lisa fletcher and you're in the stream. walking down the street in chicago may now have a lot more meaning as city officials plan to attach dozens of sensors gathering data from everything from pedestrian movement to air pollution. online data, what happens to it after we die and who has rights to it? and later, struggling mom and pop shops and unrealized retail
