>> the palestinian president has accused the israeli government of failing to prevent the violence. his spokesman said the crime wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for the israeli government's insistence to continue with the settlement activities and protecting settlers. the palestinians have urged the international community to take practical steps to stop further attacks. al jazeera. stefanie dekker is our correspondent outside the house where this horrendous incident happened in nablis. stefanie? >> reporter: that's right. we are at the back of the house. this is the bedroom window where we are told two marked men smashed the window around 2 to 3:00 o'clock in the morning and threw in some kind of incendiary device landed in the bedroom. the family of four were sharing this small room. we are also told by a witness who heard the father screaming who ran to the front of the house that he saw these two armed men standing over the

bodies of the mother and the father. their clothes were on fire. they saw him, followed him, and then went away. he said he came back to pick up the four-year-old they have 4-year-old totaler standing crying at the doorway, but the 18 month old baby could not be saved. i will take you to the neighboring house so you get an idea of the tajdamage that has happened on a physical scale. this is a neighbor's house. the family was not away. i will get joseph to show you a lot of people here, a lot of anger and people are upset. one man just as we were about to go live was asking in arabic words, we are left to our own devices to deal with this. this is the reaction we are having from the palestinian president. he is blaming israel for this because of israel's policy on settlement expansion. around this village, there are three illegal out posts. also, other settlement and people here will tell you that this is not the first. attack.

this happens very often. it's just the most tragic one which is why it's getting a lot of media attention right now. they say they feel they have settlers who are armed and often protected by israeli security forces it shows what a difficult dynamic is. people upset but not hopeful that justice will be done. >> at the center of this horrendous incident of course is a family an 18 month old who is funeral has taken place, we understand, and the rest of the family who are in critical condition. >> that's right thefuge recall of the 18 month-year-old boy is taking place. it's just finishing right now at a mosque further down in the village. the family was evacuated by the israeli army. both parents in critical condition, we are told here by people who saw them. we went to interview one man and saw blood on the floor when they brought the mother there first

before relatives evacuated the family because it took around 40 minutes for the fire fighters and ambulances to get here we are monitoring their conditions. people will tell you they don't think justice will be done. we are hearing strong words from theusisi government calling these terrorist acts. there was a gag order on the investigation at the moment. no details coming out as to how far they have come. they have sent more security forces here into the occupied west bank because they are, of course, concerned about a backlash. again, the main message from people here is that even though there are strong condemn nations coming frommusisi officials, from the prime minister himself, they don't think that any justice will be done here. >> stefanie dekker there, live in nablius. we now know who will host the 2022 olympics. >> beijing. these pictures are from outside

the bird's nest stadium in the chinese capitol. well celebrations as you can see in full swing. only two cities come pete finally, let's go life now to hong kong and rob mcbride. a massive victory for beijing. any idea what might have given them the edge over almaty? >> a widespread sense of satisfaction with this decision. as we can see, the party has now begun around beijing and will continue for some time. you know when beijing first announced it was bidding for the winter olympics it was treated almost with disdain, as a joke in some quarters. it is not a natural winter sport location. but as time has gone on and there are other more natural contenders dropped by the wayside, there has been a defendant growing realization of how much china wants this. i think what really per schwade

the olympic committee in the end was just the political will power and the guarantee that china will mobilize the resources to build the infrastructure not least of course put in place all of the facilities that will be needed to create the huge amounts of artificial snow to make sure all of these events will be able to take place and on time. so, a you said it came down to two cities in the end. i think beijing probably was the safer bet given the commitment of the chinese government behind this bid. >> and, also what they have to demonstrate, i understand is that they have managed to create a plan with which the -- all of those constructions for at a time current event will be used laterally. that's the thing that might have really got it for them. mightn't it? >> that's right. almaty said they are the more natural winter location real snow after all but what beijing

had was this infrastructure they would have to put in place. one of the arguments against beijing was that it was so spread out. almaty is a centralized location. beijing, the locations are very spread-out. you have son venues in the city itself. take place over 100 kilometers. it is a very fact of it is so spread out that china has committed itself to building. guests want more high speed rail links to make sure it is all interconnected and, also to put in place the different sports arena. china has already shown in 2008 with the summer games what it can do when it mobilize as whole country beside this national effort. it will i think it has been able to convince the olympic committee that it will do exactly the same again even to the point of cleaning up the air. it has guaranteed as it did in 2008 that the air will be 75% cleaner when the winter olympians come to beijing.

>> rob mcbride, thank you. three former executives will be tried for their role in the fukushima disaster. a citizenship panel ruled the executives including the chairman of the times should face charges of professional negligence. charges have decided there wasn't enough evidence. a massive earthquake destroyed the fukushima plant contaminating water, food and the air harry fawcett tells thus from tokyo tokyo? >> this battle goes back to 2014 which thousands of residents tried to bring a class criminal action against more than 30 tepco executives and government officials. prosecuteors decided there was insufficient evidence to bring a prosecution again in january of

this year prosecuteors said it was unreasonable to expect those executives could have foreseen the kind of scale of tsunami that hit the power plant on march 11th? if the coolant, reactors cutting off the electrical supply as well. >> civilian pan did have the power to reconvene, re-assess the case and override the decision of the prosecutors. that's what has happened. so, the court will appoint eight prosecutors outside of the tokyo tokyo prosecute ors office to adjudicate on this case to bring this case against these three tepco executives. they will face charges of professional negligence leading to death or injury if the object washed up on the french island east of madagascar.

officials will joint french counterparts where the debris is due to arrive. they said it's almost certainly part of a boeing 777. >> a british inquiry has been told two russian agents poisoned the former officer. the lawyer representing london's police force. he died in 2006 after drinking tea laced with pluonium at a london hotel. the latest from outside the high court in london. >> president putin and their cabal -- he is saying that because he believes the scientific evidence submitted in the last few weeks shows that

the court on friday proves the connection between the kremlin and this case the kremlin has sought to deny. both the family and the metropolitan police have accepted there is very little, if any chance of prosecution of the russians accused of being involved in the killing because russia says that it's constitution prevents them from extra dieding them and it rejects any connection between them and the killing back in 2006. >> the british workers are being sentence to france to repair fences around the channel tunnel. for the past few nights hundreds of migrants have tried to scale the barriers and jump on to trains. it will has been disrupted as the my grant try to cross over. >> tremors in the u.s. state of oklahoma are growing in number. >> controversy brews in brazil over an olympic venue full of
