the news continues next live from london. ♪ ♪ >> hello there, i'm julie mcdonald. this is the news hour live from london. coming up, at least six palestinians are shot dead by israel forces in gaza. dozens more are injured as the situation across the occupied territory deter yates. the u.s. said it's overhauling its discredited multi million dollar training program for syrian rebels. arresting people smugglers on the high seas off the coast

of libya. plus, the nobel peace prize is awarded to t tunisians who helped pull their country back from the brink of civil war. >> and liverpool's new manager promises trophies but insists he's not special. >> i'm a to believ totally normal guy. >> jurgen klopp promises to deliver the league title after 25 years. >> hello a warm welcome to the news hour. in gaza, it's been a day of violence and death. at least six palestinians were killed when israel forces open fires along the gaza strip. first we have this report.

>> protesters carried the injured to waiting plans. live ammunition was fired into gaza. protesters on the other side were demonstrating over the restrictions at the al aqsa mosque restrictions. they were responded to with stun grenades and water canon and tear gas. hundreds of palestinians turned out to protest in gaza and there was further violence in the occupied west bank. tear gas was used against funeral protesters outside of ramallah. they gathered for the burial of a 19-year-old shot dead by israel police.

[ gunfire ] and video released on social media shows a moment when a teenager was shot dead by israeli border police israeli police said that she was holding up a knife and posed an imminent threat. al jazeera cannot independently verify the footage. violence follows ten days of confrontations at al aqsa mosque compound that is important to both views and muslims. palestinian proesters say that they will allow jewish extremists to enter the compound. but that is denied and they say they will not allow the status quo to be changed a new up rising against israel occupation, but this has been down played by both sides.

>> the battle of jerusalem is our battle. and the west bank, we will not hesitate to be in the right place as usual and take the right action to support our people. >> israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and palestinian president mahmood abbas has called for calm. they'll continue to coordinate with israeli security forces to try to restore order. but for now there are few signs of the violence dying down. al jazeera. >> well, we're live from ramallah, it's been an incredibly tense day. >> yes, it's an extremely tense day here in the occupied west bank, and as you said earlier, in gaza, several palestinians were killed. one of them has actually stabbed an israeli soldier near the town

of hebron. he was trying to get his weapon when he was overpowered by israeli forces. six others have been killed during the confrontation with the israeli forces on the eastern border of gaza. now there is a metal fence that separates both sides. the protester had gone up to that fence, they said in solidarity in what was going on here in the occupied west bank and in east jerusalem for the past few days. they hurled stones at the israeli forces, at the israeli soldiers, and the response was gunfire, rubber-steel bullets and fear gas, and here at the occupied west bank there were tense clashes that last the several hours, and there are

similar clashes in bethlehem, it is a volatile situation. >> what have people you've been talking to been telling you? is there frustration. >> frustration is certainly there. frustration that just built up over the past few years. it's not just about--extrem-- extremists have been allowed in the compound, but israel say they will not change status quo. there are further motives and this could be the beginning of a volatile continuous situation in occupied east jerusalem. there is the reality on the

ground of the west bank. people living under occupation. a wall that has been built. expansions of settlements and really, they live nearby the settlers and the palestinians, all this has been building up, it has reached this point, and there is anger from the palestinian authority. what are we talking about with this oslo accord. some of them say why president mahmoud abbas threatening to discard those accord. why doesn't he just announce that they're null and void. because we have not seen any fruit of it since we were born. all of that is coming up together, and it leads to the extreme situation. there have been calls to calm the situation. but when you see the situation

up and close, you see the determination, it's difficult to see how or what will stop them. >> joining me live from ramallah. thank you. >> the u.s. says it stands to overall it's much criticized syrian rebel training program, $5 million was set aside to train troops, but many have fled or have been killed in combat. >> we have been looking knew for several weeks at ways to improve that program. i was not satisfies in the early efforts in that regard, and to achieve the same strategic objective, which is the right one, which is to enable capable

motivated forces on the ground. to retake territory from isil and reclaim it from extreme. >> let's go live now to roslind jordan, hi there, ros. is this another sign of unturnty in the strategy? >> well, it certainly is a ply kateed factor in the obama administration strategy for dealing with isil inside syria because it's having to deal with this while it's also trying to get other parties to the table in an effort to try to end syria's civil war. that effort is far from successful as of right now. what is notable, instead of training the modern syrian rebels who wanted to take up arms against bashar al-assad, the embattled president, instead the u.s. is going to be

providing basic military equipment and support to existing groups that have been fighting against isil for the better part of a year now. >> just if you can the programs it will touch on. what will replace it? and does anyone have confidence in what is going to replace it? >> well certainly that question came up in whether this change in the u.s. strategy is going to work. even though obama administration officials told reporters that they believe this change will work, they also did caution the fight against isil is going to take years. it's not going to be resolved in a matter of weeks or a matter of months. but there is skepticism about whether the u.s. is going about this strategy the right way. one thing they did not note in their announcement of the change in the strategy, whereas before they said they would try to change upwards of 15,000 people to fight isil, now they're

saying that they're only going to provide support to unnamed local groups. they won't say who they are in northern groups who are trying to retake the territory from isil. they're not putting a price tag on it, and they're not saying how many people they're going to support. just that they're going to be doing this kind of support. >> joining me live from washington, d.c. thank you. >> meanwhile, russia says it's latest airstrikes in syria have killed 200 fighters and destroyed underground facilities. it adds that they have killed 100 rebel fighters in the aleppo region. five people were killed overnight in an airstrike in a camp for internally displaced people. another 50 were injured in idlib province. well, iran's ref lunation guard has confirmed the death of a top general in israel. he said that he was an adviser to bashar al-assad's armies.

we have reports from neighboring lebanon. >> he was a top-ranking member of iran's elite revolutionary guards. but his death in syria's northern province of aleppo leaves more questions than answers. a statement from the revolutionary guards said that he was killed by forces. some reports suggested that the general was supposed to supervise a major operation to lift the blockade of a military base. iran admits its military advisers are on the ground but denies if has ground troops. however, fighters from the lebanese movement hezbollah are in syria. thousands of its fighters have helped president assad in power. in the past it has spoken over overstretched army and lack of manpower. but now another assad ally, russia, has stepped in providing military support from the skies.

a few have hit isil-controlled regions, but isil is on the move. advancing on the ground. they would capture territory from the government. captured areas under the control of the opposition in the eastern countryside of the province. isil now controls part of the main rebel supply line linking turkey to its stronghold in the city. aleppo is a divided city. the opposition controls the east and the government controls the west. but assad's forces hold positions on the outer edges in the industrial complex. isil's front line has moved. the group is now a few kilometers north of the complex in the aleppo infantry academy, which was a base for the opposition.

they already controlled the town of beb further east. forces are stretched fighting two enemies on multiple fronts. now in hama province they're holding off an advance by government forces that is supported by russian airstrikes. another layer of confusion in the changing landscape of syria's ward. al jazeera, beirut. >> you're watching al jazeera. plenty more in this hour of news from london, including. >> i'm catherine soi in western kenya. i'll be telling you about this invasive weed and why malaria researchers here are so worried about it. >> plus, why the one strong relationship between china and northamptio north korea is becoming strained. and why sepp blatter hopes to be behind his fifa desk sooner than anyone expected.

the united nations security council has approved the second phase of operations off the coast of libya. they're permitted to seize and destroy boats used by human traffickers. >> the u.n. security council voted to endorse the european union naval operation off the coast of libya. thousands have died making the journal. now they'll intercept and later destroy the boats. the u.k. which drew up the resolution said that it will save lives. >> any smuggler stopped will be arrested, and their boats will be seized. we must not allow people smugglers to profit from other's despair. >> however, they said that it will lead to more people making

the journey from libya to europe. >> libya believes that migrants knowing about the removal or reduction will only increase the number of migrants and the number of migrants in a enter libya will go through open borders. >> the new e.u. operation will be limited to international waters. it does not go as far as the original european union plan, but that plan has been put on hold. >> the organization for migration said that there has been a surge in the number of refugees arriving in greece over the past weeks. people are trying to make the journey to europe before the

weather worsens with the northern winter. the nobel peace prize has been awarded to those who prevent tunisia from falling into civil war after the 2011 revolution. we have that report now from tunis. >> the announcement is a surprise to be sure. >> the nobel peace prize fo for 2015 is to be awarded to the tunisian national dialogue for its decisive solution to build democracy in tunisia in the wake of 2011. >> while many thought pope francis or angela merkel would

win, in the end it sent a message of the importance of dialogue. while his or her countries who went through arab spring was hit by conflict, the revolution in tunisia was more peaceful. it was made up of four key organizations. the labor union, the confederation of industry, trade, and handy crafts, and the human rights league and the tunisian lawyers. the quartet push the civility and inclusiveness and helped pull the country back from the brink of civil war. it would go on to hold successful parliamentary and presidential election. they hoped that it would

contribute to safeguarding tunisia, and d, and the country that has suffered from major attacks that devastated its tourism industry, this prize may have been unexpected, but it has given hope to tunisians. al jazeera, tunis. >> i'm joined now in brussels, the could you founder of the democracy report.

>> jeffrey, tunisia has succeeded where other nations have failed. you touched on it there. what is the collection of elements you think that helped it to survive. what would have been a much worse period in its history? >> well, i think there are two important elements that i would rate. the first one is that the revolution in tunisia was revolution that left the state pretty intact. in fact, three days after the

dictator had fled the country, the administration reopened and that's remarkable. the second element, is that fundamentally in tunisia you have a culture of tolerance you are in a situation where things could have turned in a difficult way and violent, but it did not. to you knee has and civil society go together to try to get out of the brink. >> and jeffrey, what more needs to happen in in tunisia to make sure that it survived? >> the organized collection. that was also done.

there is a series of institutions that need to come out of this. there is a whole movement of the revolution and organization that would bring governance closer to the tunisians. that is extremely important. that links up to the agenda which is also very important. and where a lot of investments should be put from a national standpoint and also from the international community so that people in tunisia see the benefits and reap the fruits of this revolution. >> jeffrey joining me live from brussels. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> now in parts of west kenya one in four people have contracted malaria this year. the deadly parasite is spread by infected mosquitoes.

we traveled to kenya for this report. >> scientists at the international center of insect and ecology in nairobi, they're studying the farming weed that it feeds on and finding out how much it has made gains in the battle against malaria. mosquitoes are attracted to the weed's nectar, which keeps them alive when they can't find blood to suck. the research started in 2007. it's still in its early days. but a lead researchers said that the preliminary findings are worrying. >> it just tells us that with this weed the parasite can survive a lot longer. what does it mean in terms of the impact? that we don't know.

>> it's weed originally from north and south america were introduced to east africa in the 1970s, and has been spreading fast. displacing many other plans it can grow in any environment and in any weather. >> a big concern for scientists is what it could mean in places where malaria is still very high. the research concludes that the weed also keeps the mosquito pair side aliv a--parasite alive longer, and that could be a big problem here. malaria is widespread in kenya, public awareness programs and other preventive strategies have helped to ease the burden. but many have been diagnosed with malaria, and many don't seek treatment. everybody should be made aware of the weed's dangers. >> as the government takes over,

this plant is common, but people don't know the effect on humans and on animals. >> clearing the weed for years, but it always grows back. he doesn't know about the link with malaria. he does know that none of his other plants can grow when it is around. >> we have been clearing it, but we don't know what to do about it. we've been trying to cut it. >> in nairobi scientists try to solve the puzzle of the malaria. >> still to come on this al jazeera news hour. >> al jazeera obtained exclusive evidence that european governments have been paying

ransoms to free hostages abroad. a warning for young men in china. one in three are likely to die from the effects of smoking. and in south africa where winning games is only part of their story.

>> we're in the "prairie state" yet we have such little of it left. >> now old-school methods meet cutting-edge science... >> we've returned this iconic mammal to illinois. >> with a much bigger long-term benefit. >> grasslands have a critical role in climate change. >> it's exciting. >> techknow's team of experts show you how the miracles of science... >> this is what innovation looks like. >> can affect and surprise us. >> i feel like we're making an impact. >> awesome! >> techknow - where technology meets humanity.

>> welcome back. a reminder of the top story on al jazeera. six palestinians have been killed from gunfire as they demonstrated between gaza and israel. palestinian was also killed in the unrest in the west bank and another 70 have been wounded, 10 of them seriously. israeli police say that a palestinian woman has been shot after she stabbed an officer. four teenagers were stabbed in separate attacks on friday. the u.s. will overall its program for supporting and training rebels--syrian rebels.

let's go to a local analyst who is in new york. hello there, this fear is this current violence will spill over into something much, much worse. >> this has been very painful not just for the palestinians but for the israelis. now many people are trying to continue. the question for many palestinians is to, the palestinian leadership is not united between hamas, and there is a lot of barriers today between israelis and palestinians, and those barriers are the israeli soldiers or palestinian security. there is a lack of will or

excitement, if you will, on the part of the palestinian leadership to support israel into a dialogue. it is a very flammable situation. there is a case for up risings and the sparks that we've seen in the holy places. and jerusalem is the kind of place that we've seen before that would imflame passions and going out into the streets. >> there has really been silence. >> the obama administration has had its share of friction but that was over netanyahu's

interference in american internal affairs when dealing with iran. the obama administration has been primarily silent about israeli occupation, israeli oppression, and israeli settlement. ever since president obama made his 2009 commitment to reduce or to freeways israeli settlements in that famous speech, president obama has been supportive of israel when it comes to its own policy or what it calls security and what palestinians call occupation. >> what is the difference in the palestinian and israeli perspectives on this? >> when you look at it from here, people are going to see it a as a symmetry. there are two versions of the story and it's very subjective.

we've heard reports and it's conflicting. at least one israeli put it in the last few days the palestinians are fighting for their lives for their national and individual liberty. the israelis are fighting for the occupation. that's the major problem. that's why many of those who claim certain neutrality about the issue need to be more obje objective and look at the occupation first and foremost because that's the difference between how palestinians and israelis see it. >> thank you. >> football's governoring body fifa just announced it will hold a committee melting on october 20th. it comes after the fifa ethics committee suspended sepp blatter and michel platini for 90 days. the executive committee was not

due to meet until december. a special report by al jazeera's investigative unit has uncovered evidence that the italian government is doing deals with kidnappers and paying ransoms with hostages. european governmentings often deny that they pay ransoms. >> italian citizen bruno pelizari and his girlfriend, released by somali pirates linked with al-shabab after two years in captivity. >> welcome home. >> the media was told that the couple's release was secured by a combination of diplomacy and intervention by the western-back somali military forces. >> thank you. we love you. >> but secret intelligence documents obtained by al jazeera's investigative unit revealed that this was a lie. the italian government, in fact, paid over $500,000 as a ransom.

bruno's sister, who negotiated for the family, was told to keep quiet about the details of her brother's release. >> we were told not to say that they actually paid. >> there were things that we were not even supposed to speak about. >> they're convinced that th the italian government saved her brother's life. despite the denials, al jazeera has uncovered evidence that these same tactics were employed by the italian government to secure the release of their hostages in syria. when they were released after several months in captivity in syria, there were rumors of a ransom payment. al jazeera spoke with eyewitness who is saw the cash happened

over. >> it was me and the the italian representative who brought the money. >> it contained $100,000 each in a separate plastic bag. >> the italian government said that the $4 million ransom was provided by the families of the hostages, but they insist the family did not pay while they say he's unaware of any family payment. al jazeera has obtained exclusive evidence that the italian government is willing to pass millions of dollars of payments. aid workers were released in january 2015. these exclusive pictures show the $11 million handed over to representatives of al nusra for the two women. the italian government declined to comment on the allegations

saying its policy is not to pay ransoms. >> you can watch the fuel al jazeera investigates documentary. the hostage business, and of course online at www.aljazeera.com forwar www.aljazeera.com/investigation s. a british nurse who recovered from the ebola virus is now being treated for late complication. she's being treated in a london hospital. she contracted ebola while volunteering at the height of the outbreak. the doctors say that the virus is still present in her body and she's in serious condition. the one strong relationship between china and north korea is strained because of a spike in cross-border crime. adrian brown explains from the border. >> north korea is tantalizingly close here.

the industrial city just meters from the chinese border. the river marks the front between two supposed allies, but it appears relations are not what they were. the police roadblock outside of the chinese village where four people were murdered last december. we were turned away. china's government blames north korean soldiers who came looking for food. this local man said that more needs to be done to protect the community. >> of course i worry about my safety, but there is nothing i can do about it. i live here. >> like most people here mr. li is ethnic korean. he lives in the village where three police surveillance cameras have now been installed. in total ten people have been murdered in this remote region since last december. chinese government officials confirm another citizen was shot in the area two weeks ago, but

they won't say if they think north korea is to blame. in response to the murders some have moved away, but villagers had already begun to empty as younger generations gun t begun to leave for better prospects. >> if you look for food, you just give to them or they might take revenge on you. >> the security fence is three feet high here but some worry the barrier is not enough to protect them. >> at a glimpse of every day life in north korea, as you can see there is a gap in the fence making it very different for a civilian or soldier to slip into china. >> china's government has shown willingness to publicize the murders. a sign of beijing's growing anger and frustration with

pyongyang. >> it may not at a tipping point but it's worse than it has ever been in. >> china's ties with south korea have rarely been better. it's president was a guest of honor in beijing. >> beijing is trying to present itself as a superpower, engaged geopolitically, interested in economic prosperity, and north korea is an embarrassing blight on that agenda. >> for now, though, china remains north korea's most important and far richer friend. but the tensions it is provoking along this border could put that friendship at risk. adrian brown, al jazeera, china. >> now a study published in the medical journey predicts one in three young chinese men will die from smoking-related diseases. while the report is bleak for men, it's not quite so bleak for

women. >> in a country where two-thirds of men start smoking mostly before they're 20, the dangers of tobacco have long been known. this report spells it out in the starkest terms. by 2010 china was recording 1 million tobacco deaths per year. if current trends continue, that figure will be $2 million a year by 2030. what gives these findings much weight is the survey they're based on. a larger group of men and women are being studied now to determine the scale of the problem across china. as china has become more affluent, so the smoking population has ballooned, helping grow one of china's biggest industries. >> for china the antismoking campaign is facing a big economic challenge. china has a huge population of smokers, and tobacco is one of

the top ten industries. >> the problems are well-known, but so are the solutions as shown in places like hong kong where public health campaigns have had longer to work. >> we have this control. legislation can stop the tobacco industry to advertise and promote its product, and create smoke-free areas that can create a favorable environment to create a smoke-free lifestyle. >> one positive note is the falling smoking rates among women with the reduced risk of premature death. it's the men who have the problem and the excuses. >> i would like to quit, but the best i can do is smoke less maybe. >> for millions of chinese men the look lik clock is ticking. al jazeera, hong kong. >> i'm joined by the director of quality for the london based action on smoking. hi, hazel, great to have you on

the program. why do you think there is such a high rate of smoking in china? >> well, smoking in china, most of the tobacco in china is produced by the state tobacco manufacturing in china, which has a large monopoly. it does not have the same efforts in place to discourage people from taking up smoking. that's starting to change in china, and i think it's making a real impression on the chinese government, and they need to take action and introduce things like a balance of smoking in public places, marketing, and communicating about the harms of smoke, which have not been done enough in china. >> we have several things going on here. smoking in public places, they do not like to advertise, but what is the rest of the world like? what are other countries doing?

>> there is a treaty called the framework tobacco control, and it sets out a framework of all things that you want to stop smoking in your country. there are 180 parties to that across the world. what we have are lots of countries committed to doing the right thing on tobacco. but a patchwork of things are happening depending on the country's income and how influential the tobacco industry is in countries. we've seen the industry going into countries that are more vulnerable and having tremendous influence over the framework in that country. >> can they lift strategies and implement them? >> to a great extent. particularly on taxation, which makes a massive difference on consumption and provides a resource for countries to invest in those other things like mass marketing, providing support to help people quit smoking and all those other things that have

expenditure attached. and taxation can drive consumption down is because of prices. markets are seeing this as an opportunity to sell. >> how important is it is marketing? how important is an ingredient in that of people start to smoking. >> you can look at the history of tobacco. it started with mass marketing and mass production and it cause this is explosion in the make approximating we've not exploited that around the world. to our shame. marketing has been very crucial in the rise of tobacco. history forcally and in the future. we know it's a very important driver of young people taking up smoking as well. it's a very important to look at control when we look at smoking across the world. >> thank you for joining me

here. >> thank you. >> now you're watching al jazeera, coming up. >> i'm in central malaysia. i'll be telling you why the oil this from these trees is big for poachers and how it effects the indigenous communities who depend on the force rest. --forest.

>> in malaysia, local tribes rely on a wood source from the country's forest.

it is also used to make popular perfume. >> two-thirds of malaysia is covered by forest, home to 1500 species of animals and as many plants. indigenous tribes have lived off the land for generations. tribesmen know the forest well and know how to harvest without causing permanent damage. >> when processed it is used as a perfume especially popular in the middle east. it takes a trained nose and eye to locate the right trees. but there are those who don't care about the trees. only the profit made from them. >> we feel very sad when we see poachers from thailand and cambodia. cutting our trees. people from far away lands come

and take the trees. and we have very few left. >> up to 18 members of the communities harvest the trees. but that's not the case of poachers who enter m malaysia and fell these trees whether there is resin in them or not. one ke kilo can be sold for $30. it can be difficult to produce and is expensive to buy. >> $1,000 to $2,000 sometimes. >> it's very expensive. >> the malaysian government needs to come up with a scheme so that only genuine malaysians are allowed to collect. >> the malaysian government did not respond, it is hoped that

farms like this one will deter poaching from the forest. local people such who live hundreds of kilometers to the north of those licensed farms, are depending, as it's tribe always has, on the forest to survive despite the threat of poachers to their traditional way of living. >> now with all the day's sport news, it's sana. >> thank you very much. sepp blatter has filed an official appeal against his suspension from football. he was given 90-day ban by the organization's ethical committee. he was suspended for making a payment of $2 million to michel platini. the 79-year-old is confident that he can prove he didn't
