zeina, what does this tell us about the dynamics of the rebel groups? >> reporter: from the beginning jane the syrian opposition movement has never been united nationsed. they mayunitedunited.some are secular some have different political positions but what is happening today is the incident involves division 30. this is a group that is ready to fight i.s.i.l. instead of the syrian government and this is a group willing to cooperate with the united states. now, not many are willing. nusra's actions today was really a message to the united states, as well as to the division 13, any other rebel force thinking about cooperating with the united states, nusra saying that they not only targeted the base

of the division 30 but it abducted its commander and several of its fighters, accusing them of working for interests of the united states. it is designated as a terrorist organization by the u.s. the coalition fight against i.s.i.l. doesn't include the u.s. but somehow works under the color of nusra giving this strong methodic message not just with the u.s. but that even thinks about cooperating with the u.s. >> it makes you wonder what the future is of the u.s. program to train syrian rebels. >> we understand division 30 was a part of that program. there have been a lot of difficulties from the start. it was launched in may after much delay an agreement between turkey and the united states to train and equip a rebel force that would take on i.s.i.l. the pentagon's plans was to in

train more than 5500 fight centers a year but they acknowledge only 54 have been trained. they are facing difficulties. finding potential recruits. like i mentioned a lot of people don't just want to fight i.s.i.l, they want to fight the yrnls government as well. these -- syrian government as well. they are looked upon as mercenaries. the united states has very strict vetting requirements which really means that they haven't been able to recruit a large number. now nusra really dealing a blow to this campaign to this process, american officials playing down the significance. but we can tell you that this is not first time that nusra targeted a group that cooperates with the united states. they targeted two powerful forces in syria the syrian revolutionary front as well as the hassam movement and both

those forces have ben forced to disband. like you mentioned the u.s. train and equip program now a lot of uncertainty surrounding it. >> zeina, thank you. palestinian president mahmoud abbas is planning to ask the international criminal court to investigate, israel forces over the last 24 hours at the demonstrations. israel and the united nations condemned the act as an act of terrorism. members guys the importance of all statements condemning this attack and conindex all condemn all acts of violence. avoid all provocations and seek

a path towards brief. blames the israeli government for allowing settler violence. >> let me in this connection just share with you these two pictures of ali who was murdered and then burned, alive and this is second case in less than one year in which two palestinian children were torched to death. these terrorist crimes should not go unpunished. and those who are responsible not only the terrorist settlers but also the responsible parties in the israeli government should be brought to justice and should face the punishment. at the level of this heinous crime committed against this palestinian family. we do not believe the words of the israeli government. let their deeds let their action

speak for itself. their action he in previous occasions there was a similar incident in 2009 in which a family of palestinians in the area of bethlehem were faced -- molotov cocktails were thrown at their car and that family was bender. those responsible for that act they are not facing justice. so we need to see a different action by the israeli government in which they hold those terrorists responsible to stop giving them coverage and protection. and to stop this illegal activities and this illegal policy of colonization and building settlements which is the environment that allow for the creation of such terrorists. >> the u.n.'s food agency says the humanitarian situation in yemen is catastrophic. the world food program has

started handing out food in the war torn port city of aden. it's delivered enough food to feed about 400,000 people for a month. many of those debting aid have not gotten help since the saudi led coalition began bombing in march. >> trade ministers from 12 countries have been negotiating the transpacific partnership. among the sticking points were issues relating to the automobile sector and access to dairy markets. andrew thomas is on hand for us. >> the hope had been that this press conference would be to announce at least a deal in principle. that hasn't happened. there was a lot of talk about not quite reaching the landing zone. that was a phrase that came up a

few times from the ministers on the stage. each group mexico, the trade minister from that country was talking about the auto industry, and japan autos as well. they haven't finalized those areas as well, there is considerable amount of area to go as well, and no date set for further talks. that will get underway january february of next year, once the prierms start not clear what the teech deal, and domestic politics so really muddy deal. no >> u.s. president barack obama's pivot to asia to count increasingly assertive moves by

beijing. rob mcbride explains why china will be happy that talks have stopped. >> the severance of satisfaction even glee is almost palpable. for beijing this deal has always been about far more than just trade. it is strategic significance of a pact fashioned by the united states with their allies on this side of the pacific seeming to stifle the ambitions of the world's second biggest economy what it would consider its own backyard. as america struggles with its own grand plan so china has been busy with its own trade agreement, far less ambition but agreements had have been put into effect with south korea and australia. as the tpp is further delayed it seems its very relevance is being brought into question. >> the debris from what is hoped

to be mh370 has arrived in france. 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 workers discovered the debris while be walking the beach. now this bottle he feels is another clue so he is taking it to the police. >> i have 30 walkers and every morning before we start we will check the sea and if we find anything we will call the police. >> this small find in the indian ocean, an important part of the search for mh370. aviation experts have seen this footage say codes on it show

answers but the mystery is far from solved. tanya page, al jazeera reunion island. >> plenty more coming up. pushing people to the limits in oil rich venezuela. plus. >> i'm lucia newman from international airport coming up i'm telling you why chilean copper is being university even here.
