old. and now look at me, i've got five kids and it's, like, life's crazy. but they're beautiful. they're-- the youngest is three, so he's always trying to kill the sausage dog, and the eldest is, like, 16 and i have to get an appointment to talk to her because she's, like, teenager, you know. but-- hopefully if i go back with some--. >> and do they--. >> --chocolates and--. >> do they-- do they all love chocolate? do they all love the family business? >> yeah, they do. yeah, they-- they really do. >> this is al jazeera america. live from new york city, i'm erica pitzi. tony harris is on assignment. there is global outrage over a fire bombing attack in west bank, that killed a toddler. and other members of the family are fighting for their lives. a vaccine to fight deadly ebola advisor e-virus. reworking of a mountain side that honors the civil war's

confederate leaders. we begin with new violence that has intensified tensions in the middle east. today the obama administration joined israeli and palestinian leaders in condemning an arson attack that killed a palestinian toddler. jewish settlers are suspected of setting fire of a residence. israel prime minister benjamin netanyahu visited with the boy's family at a palestinian hospital. he says israelis and palestinians must work together to find the attackers. >> we have to calm the spirits and recommit ourselves to our joint battle against terrorism and extremism. it's something that all participants of the israeli government and all parts of

israeli society agree on: it's important that we make common cause with our palestinian neighbors to give ourselves a better future. a future tree of violence, free of terror for the future of peace. >> some palestinians say they fear this attack will go unpunished because they argue this has happened before. we begin our coverage with stefanie dekker in dupa. >> the family share the only bedroom. they would have been fast asleep when their window was smashed and ibrahim saw two attackers standing over the parents who were lying outside with their clothes on fire. he went to get help and when he returned, the two were gone. >> smoke was coming out of the house. i pulled the four-year-old out they told me there was another child inside. there was a huge blast and no way to save the baby. >> this is room where 18 month old allie was found dead and we

spoke to the ambulance worker who removed his body from here and the way he described what was left of the baby was as of lump of coal. relatives of the baby laid pictures of allie on the floor he hadn't finished his milk yet. the words plastered on the home were "revenge" in hebrew. >> the government of israel unequivocally condemns this heinous crime the act of terrorism. we will fight terrorism no matter who the perpetrators are. >> palestinian president mahmoud abbas spoke presidential. spoke. >> they encourage settlers to do what they do every day. >> people here in the village

say the same thing that attacks happen often but they have never had such an outcome. hundreds showed up for baby allie's funeral. his parents in too critical condition to lay their son to rest. the israeli government says they will bring terrorists to justice but palestinians don't believe the justice will come. owmed eastoccupied east jerusalem nabla and east jerusalem we are not seeing huge numbers. what that means, when you speak to people here they are shocked there is a real sense that they are help tolls really try and change things, or to try to change this israeli government settlement expansion which has been active over the last few years. >> stefanie dekker reporting from the west bank there. revenge attacks like the ones on friday have been be

coming with price tags and generally targeted at palestinians. john terret has more. >> areas are now destroyed. >> he says the crops were burnt by ultranationalist israeli settlers. these kind much attacks are known as price tags as the price paid for any perceived attacks on jewish settlements. the perpetrators of the attacks typically spray paint the words price tag on their work. the price tag range from burning of crops to destruction of mosques to even murder. >> secular violence of all kinds, terrorism from settlers. this is what it can be called because this is what it is. >> although widely condemned by motion israelis some

ultranationalist settlers say the attacks are provoked by palestinians and are meant to send a clear message to them, stay out. >> we just got back after 2,000 years. we are here to stay. >> it is our land. we will not leave. >> there's been at least 120 attacks by israeli settlers of the west bank this year. more than 92% of the attacks on palestinians result in no charges being filed. the israeli government has condemned priet tag attacks price tag attacks. but this leaves be ibrahim wadi with no crops and no income. john terret, al jazeera. >> joining me, new book is why hawks become doves policy change in israel joins us from washington d.c. thank you so much for joining

us. >> thank you my pleasure. >> so the death of this baby is certainly causing outrage but putting this into context for us here how common is settler violence against palestinians? >> well, unfortunately we have seen incident after incident in recent years that stem from raisism and voings violence and extremism that the prime minister has yet to confront. >> and speaking of the prime minister, netanyahu came out quickly today condemning this incident against palestinian family as terrorism. how unusual is that for him? >> well, i think it was a good move, and the right move, and perhaps somewhat unusual because he didn't white wash the event and he swivelly condemned it and called it terrorism which is what it is. it was good to see wall to wall kind of nation in israel from pretty much all sectors of the

population from left to right. it was also gratifying to hear that prime minister called his palestinian counterpart you mahmoud abbas to condemn together. what we have not seen yet is the prime minister kind of taking a bottomed leadership and trying to stem settler violence and trying to subdue kind of violence that members of his own government have been involved in against arabs and other minorities in israel. >> the prime minister is saying this is a logical result of israeli policy that has not only allowed but encouraged illegal settlement in the west bank. do you agree? >> to some extent. i think it's also important to acknowledge that there has been a de facto settlement freeze up until recently that netanyahu

has quietly pursued. but at the end of the day netanyahu tends to be driven by domestic political calculations. and his partners in his coalition government and he has a very narrow coalition government some of his partners are to his right. and insist on constructing more settlements. so even as we saw some settlement -- some of the settlement you know being frozen or him not supporting settlement expansion, at the same time, we saw him cave in to the settler dmansdz, into the demands of his right wing construction of 300 new units in bae el. >> what does the prime minister nenlt need to do here you think? >> well, i think there are several steps that the government needs to take and that the prime minister in particular needs to take soon. first, i think that he and his education minister, naftali

bennett of the right wing party need to allocate and increase funds in the educational budget that would support programs to fight racism in israel. secondly netanyahu should inform any of his ministers any of the knesset members that are part of his coalition that if they are going to speak out against arabs they are going to incite racism and violence that they are put on notice that he will dismiss them immediately from the government. third and most importantly there has to be a discussion about ending the occupation and promoting a two-state solution to the conflict. there hasn't been such a discussion as of late and what i would like to see is netanyahu calls president abbas up and telling him look, it's time for us to restart the peace talks on the be basis of a two state

solution. >> and do you think the death of the baby could reignite those talks? >> i think it could reignite those talks but it could also start a cycle of violence and revenge and that's something that is likely to happen if we don't see bold leadership from prime minister netanyahu and president boost. abbas. >> thank you very much. >> reply pleasure. >> we are getting word this evening this an 18-year-old palestinian was killed today during clashes with israeli forces. died after being shot in the chest. the israelis say the team tossed a fire bomb at the troops. he lived in a palestinian refugee camp near the city. his funeral will be held tomorrow. investigators are on a remote island in the indian ocean hoping to stofl mystery of solve

the mystery of a missing marion barry airlines site. tanya page has more from reunion. >> this rocky beach is where the wreckage was found. police walk its length. and watch from the sky perhaps there's more to find. philippe's work is to discover the debris while cleaning the beach. now he thinks this bottle could be another clue so he is taking it to the police. >> translator: i have 30 walkers and every morning before we start we will check the sea. and if we find something we will call the police. >> reporter: the discovery of wreckage has made the small island in the indian ocean an important place in the search for missing malaysia airlines, mh370, which disappeared during flight from kuala lumpur to

beijing lathe lastier. codes on it say it's from the wing of a boeing 777 the same as mh370. the man who found it is relieved. >> translator: if it's debris from the plane i'm happy for families. now they know for sure they perished. >> for investigators to examine it the deep sea search continues. it may not reveal why the plane changed course less than an hour after takeoff or anything that happened on board but it does confirm that they are looking in the right place thousands of kilometers east of reunion island. looking out in the vast indian ocean, it is a miracle that any debris could have made it this far. if that wreckage is proven to come from mh370 it could be the only part of it ever found. now beach is attracting curious locals. they watch and speculate.

the wreckage may reveal some answers but the mystery is far from solved. tanya page, al jazeera reunion island. >> the debris from the plane is now headed to france for analysis. the debris along with anything else found will go to the city of bama. charld stratford is there. >> the piece of debris will be brought here in the next few hours to be looked at by investigation teams here at the french ministry of defense aviation investigation center. they're going to be honing in focusing on a number of different things to try and get some sort of confirmation as to whether this is indeed from a boeing 777. they are going to be looking at what are broadly described as data tags that can be anything from serial numbers to numbers that could point to previous repairs of the plane that it was attached to. they are also going to look at trying to figure out just how

long this piece of metal debris has been in the ocean. there is speculation whether the barnbarnbarnicles attached, may have floated 4,000 miles from where it is suspected went down. they are looking at the very fabric of the debris as well, looking at patterns of rivets, to try to focus down that this was part of the boeing 777. before they start to bring the piece is together and try the look for some sort of confirmation that this was indeed a part of flight mh370. >> british prime minister david cameron called french president

francois hollande this evening. to talk about the growing crisis of migrants accessing the channel tunnel. burning tires causing a massive traffic jam, barnaby phillips has been following development in france. >> they got through migrant cling to a top of a legislatory as itlorry.destruction is causing things oclog un. bad news for anyone wanting to cross to france during the holiday season. >> we're going to take action right across the board. starting with helping the french on their side of the border. we're going to put in more fencing, more resources more sniffer-dog teams more of anything we can in terms of

resources. >> over in calais, the situation is complicated by french ferry workers. they are striking in protest of reduced resources. people have been alarmed in britain but the number of migrants in calais trying to get into britain a few thousand are relatively small given how many are going elsewhere in europe. >> what we're seeing is the symptom of the fact that the world is in the grips of the worst refugee crisis since the second world war. the vast majority of the refugees are hosted by the poorest european countries. a tiny tiny proportion are trying -- are trying oreach the u.k. >> europe's politician he are in a quandary.

desperate people deserve compassion but the politicians answer to their own anxious electelectorates.barnaby phillips, be al jazeera. >> a vaccine for ebola appears to be working. our science and technology editor jacob ward appears from san francisco. how are you jake. >> the canadian vaccine was pushed through in 12 months became of they pulled off something that should have taken over a decade to do. and the results have really been tremendous. here is how the w.h.o.'s assistant director described the early phase of this vaccine trial. >> the data so far and it is as i said an intermediate analysis

and the trial is going on . the data so far shows that none of the 2014 persons vaccinated developed ebola virus disease after ten days after vaks vaccination. >> that's extraordinary essentially 100% effective. what the researchers did is divide the test subjects into two groups, they gave one the vaccine immediately and of that group nobody got it after ten days. that's an extraordinary 100% effective result. and then another group given it three weeks later again over 2,000 people were administered that only 16 developed the disease. an immediate diagnosing is amazing. this began with a two-year-old girl patient zero. she then gave it to her family, the rest of her family in the village, her grand mother, the

rest of it. as the transmission train went on it reached a midwife and hospital worker, and leapt to another prefecture and took off. if you can imagine all of these people that had been in contact if 50% of them were given vaccine it would have cut off the transmission instead of seeing 11,000 people die in the outbreak, you would have seen vastly fewer. if a vaccine could have been in there it just would have changed everything as you said erica a game changer. >> it's gone from development to the field very quickly. >> that's right. >> last it gone through rigorous trials? >> that's the question here. the w.h.o. who put together the trial, the governments of norway and canada, they pushed it very fast. to do so they didn't go with the normal gold standard you do with a vaccine trial. typically what you would do is give half of the people the

vaccine and half of them a fake version. nobody would know who had it until very end. but ethically in an outbreak like this, you are dooming half to die. depending on how the vaccine works. instead they gave a ring trial 50% of the people would be given the vac een and it became a question of time. if you give them when the vaccine occurs, over the course of the outbreak, do the symptoms appear? it's a different way of doing it rather than doing it in the middle of an epidemic. it trooived we only know this works for three weeks. this is very hard to store you have to keep it at negative 80°

celsius but it is a certainly extraordinary effect in midst of some of the world's greatest tragedies. >> jake, thank you. ready for combat after years of testing. the u.s. marines say the controversial fight are jet f-35b is ready to go. and an iconic monument is set for a face lift. somewhere somewhere

>> the marine corps nowfnsedtoday that the f 35b joint strike fighter is ready for combat. this is considered a key milestone for f 35 program that has been plagued with delays and cost overruns. jamie mcintire is in washington d.c. for us. good evening jamie why did it take so long to get this fighter jet program up and running? >> reporter: erica pilots swear by it and critics swear at

it. one plane with different models to be used by all services. this is pentagon so this turned out to be the world's most expensive weapons program. the pentagon planning to spend over $400 billion to buy more than 2400 jets over the next 30 years. but the marine corps today said the jet has now reached its combat capability, something called initial operating comparability and where passed all of its tests with flying colors. defensive air air interdiction assault support escort and reconnaissance. saying it has passed all of those tests. now in pronouncing the marine jet ready to go, the marines also said the first ten jets will be based in yuma arizona

and because the marine corps of needs a version of the plane that takes off vertically and lands vertically, this is the most expensive version sticker price $134 million although as they say as they build more in time that will come down to just over $100 million. erica. >> there is question about the performance of the jet. what are they and how has the pentagon addressed them? >> depending who you talk to the f 35 is either the most versatile fighter jet ever or the biggest boondoggle ever. they're taking a version of the jet that doesn't have all the features including a gun that's going to be added later and software upgrades and other upgrades that will give it more night investigation capability. that has critics crying foul. they say you know this is really not ready for combat, the marines are rushing in.

as an example just look at the statement by the senate armed services committee john mccain who issued a qualified endorsement. "i remain concerned about the capability and reliability of the aircraft." and tom christie told sheila macvicar that this version of the plane is, in his words a slam. >> the program last been embarrassing and they're just at the point to say you know we're going to take whatever we get. >> reporter: the pentagon insists that the f 35 is back on track after years of problems. it can be traced back to one miscalculation. the decision to buy the plane while it was still being developed and built and all the bugs hadn't been worked out. that violated a basic pentagon plasmmaxim, fly before you buy.

>> the atlanta city council has approved a resolution that could bring big changes to a monday i'm known across the south. the giant figures of confederate figures are carved into stone mountain in georgia. debate over the carving began following south carolina's decision to take down the confederate flag over south carolina's capital.

let's put this carving into context. stone mountain is the largest exposed piece of granite in the world. the edifice draws millions of visitors per year. joining us now from atlanta is city council member michael bond, who proposed a resolution to conduct a study on making changes to the mountain side. councilman thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you for having me, erica. >> the carving has been there 40 years. why make a push to change it now? >> well it's not so much the carving itself but what the carving has represented to some individuals. with the other confederate emblems coming down in

surrounding states, i thought it was an appropriate time to look at stone mountain not only in the context of the confederacy over the context of 280 years. what our resolution proposes to the governor is to see whether georgians worthy of being memorialized on the side of the mountain. >> you don't necessarily want to get rid of the confederate leaders that are there but make it a culturally sensitive place. >> james overthorp or chief tomachechee, perhaps our president who was a native

georgian jimmy carter, or even one of the original signers of the declaration of independence. there are many that are worthy. the three gentlemen who are on the mountain aren't even from georgia. so i think that we need to look at georgia's total history and try to represent it on what is widely known as georgia's number one icon, stone mountain. >> are you personally be offended by this monument? >> the monument doesn't represent me culturally as a native georgian. i have the experience of being the great great great grandson of a revolutionary war hero, i was also a great grandson of someone who was held as a slave and freed by the civil war. the confed confed confederacy what

also should be told on balance as best we can is the other 276 years of georgia history. the other perspectives and the other cultural representation of individuals who have been in our state. you know the native american perspective perhaps the perspective of the historic women who have come from georgia or even just honoring the man who founded georgia itself. these are all stories that are worthy to be told. they are all great american stories and they are stories that all georgians can embrace and should be made aware of. >> you proposed this resolution to alter some racist symbol of the south but you recently received some pretty racist

language there in an e-mail. does that kind of be language strengthen your resolve to make changes to this carving? >> yes it does. these are the types of ideas that need to be challenged. i take this very of seriously and i have turned that over to my police department and the homeland security office. we are going to address the attitude and the perspective that it represents. you know it is my contention that if georgia and some of the other southern states haven't allowed themselves to be defined in the recent history by just the four years of the confederacy, which has been highly romanticized in positive and negative ways, it's like we are looking through georgia and the south through a particular key hole. but if you were to open the key

hole, it is a representative history of a great american story. and if people can have the benefit of the balance of the entire story then it might become easier for some of these individuals who share these beliefs to adopt a broader and better perspective. >> city council member michael bond from georgia. thank you for being with us. >> thank you it's a pleasure to be here. 21-year-old21-year-old dylann roof is accused of killing nine people inside a historic south carolina church last month. roof wants to plead guilty it is believed but not until it is known whether the government intends to pursue the death

12 in different jails and institutions. there wasn't i knew how to do, i didn't have any marketable skills no education i had ged i got that ged ged at rykers island in 1986. >> how did getting that education change you? >> it helped me understand myself, my actions within the context of my environment. >> today perez works as an advocate for other inmates. >> if it were not for higher education i would never have been able to see opportunities where i only saw challenges. i would have never been able to see stepping stones only barriers. >> perez left prison with 30 college credits and continues to work towards his bachelor's degree. with the help of a private program. part of the program's first

year in advance to think about what we could offer, how much more we could offer, how many more students we could serve. >> i'm proud of the man i am today. i'm a father, i'm some successful in many different respects. >> perez is planning to pursue a law degree. >> i'm in support of the system of better education. >> makes college funding available for more inmates for the first time since 1994 when legislation was passed to ban it. critics say inmates should not get a free education but to help law abiding families instead. >> okay roxana saberi, thank you. drij for oil used todrilling for oil used to be the most profitable business in

the world. it isn't anymore. ali velshi is here. ali. >> oil drilling is not as profitable as it was. look where oil is selling 47.12 per barrel, this is taking a toll on america's big oil companies. exxon mobile profits came down 52% compared to the same three months in 2014 which makes some sense given had given this drop. the losses are being felt across big oil companies. friday chevron reported losses of 90% its worst profits in 13 years. but america's big oil will ride the downturn until oil prices come back one day. a lot of america's players in the fracking boom are not going to make it through. the big companies have their infrastructure all set the

little companies still have to bear those prices. erica. >> what is the likelihood that oil prices will stay this way now? >> well erica if i had that insight i would be doing this prediction from my yacht. the outcome is about 55 a barrel for nerk year about $65 a barrel. slow creep up. i don't think we'll look at 100 or higher dollar per barrel level. part of this came to the fact that there was a deal with iran. now with the deal, iran's expected to start selling oil to the world again which only means more downward pressure, more losses for big drillers and small drillers. it is good news for americans at the pump though. gasoline prices are down 24% compared to a year ago.

>> oh that is good. what else have you got on the show tonight? >> very interesting show, we're looking at the treatment of mentally ill tonight why so many of them are showing up in prisons. jails and prisons treat mental health more than hospitals do it's a crisis we're looking at flit. >> ali velshi, we'll see you then pnl you. you can watch ali velshi "on target." who is taking care of cecil's young cubs in the weeks after he was killed by an american dentist, and annal an olympic first for beijing.

>> joining me via skype from the u.k. is professional david mcdonald. he is director of the wildlife conservation unit the group that was tracking cecil the lion. in the aftermath of cecil's death what would you like to see happen that would send the right message? >> as a result of a chat show jimmy kimmel, in the united states urging people the donate it's expensive and challenging to do this people has now gone global and millions of people around the world are taking an interest in the work we do. if these donations continue to flow in, and i have some exciting news on that that is only just occurred but if these donation is continue to flow in it will enable us to equip more lions with satellite tracking devices to expand the project to train more wonderful young

zimbabwens in conservation science to bring them to oxford to be trained so they can in turn be at the forefront of the science, into surrounding areas of botswana and be zalbia. to really push forward for lion conservation both in zimbabwe and croot south africa. the exciting news that i want to mention to you that literally just happened as we went on air is as the appeal has gained momentum i was talking minutes ago on the phone to a new york philanthropistton kaplan and he said too me as of now he and his wife are prepared to put up

we would like to have regulatory systems and government systems that allow nature to prosper alongside people who also prosper. >> now that this powerful male lion is dead what does it mean for rest of the lions living in the region there? >> if if one of these lions dies through natural causes or through hunting it can cause a coalition be usurped by an incoming coalition and it can happen that the incoming males kill the cubs of the predecessor. in this case that may not happen because the lion cecil in which he had a partner we called him jericho. as far as we know he is still alive and fine and protecting the cubs. that is sort of knowledge that our research is reveeblg here at revealing here at the wild crew and the

information that can underpin thinking and policy to ensure that wildlife and people can better live together. >> we'll leave it there that's definitely a good message to end on. david mcdonald director of the research under wide crew. very good to know the cubs may survive. john siegenthaler is here. john. >> hi there erica. dylann roof pleads not guilty. the number of convictions is in the dozens, we'll try ofind out why. charleston emanuel ame church long term church members say there are many new faces about. >> they couldn't understand how we could come in and sing and have worship scriptures.
