some of the -- code. some of the brightest minds get together to find out who is behind one of the most complicated puzzles on the internet but first, israel's government is facing serious questions over its use of force in the latest outbreak of violence with palestinian protesters much since the beginning of october 4th israelis have been killed and 63 injured in attacks by palestinians. but 23 palestinians are dead, and 1,991 injured after action by israeli security forces. that is according to the palestinian health ministry. >> witness accounts and videos led to accusations that some of the deaths could amount to extrajudicial killings. palestinian teenager was shot and killed last week. he was running from a stabbing

that had happened moments before. then on friday an israeli palestinian woman was critically wounded after she was shot by israeli forces at a checkpoint in gala lee. israeli police say she was waving a knife when they shot her. >> hoda abdel-hamid is in the occupied west bank. first to mike hannah, our command in west jerusalem rsh, all mys must be on the israeli government to come up with something. >> indeed, yes, the israeli cabinet has been meeting in the of the day. the prime minister was in the u.s. addressing the united nations and subsequently there has been a jewish holiday. certainly much to discuss in the intervening period between meetings, one racked by violence within israel and the occupied

territory. one unfortunate issues is the high fatality yip rate as pointed out, the palestinian red cess ented members saying close to three have been shot. this figure is high. >> binyamin netanyahu - will he be particularly unsettled of the accusations of excessive force used by his security forces. >> well, he hasn't been unsettled in the past when similar accusations were made. for the fiorentied we put together rules of engagement and police spokesman said in each case the situation was life threatening, and each time officers on the scene have to respond to the specifics of what every scene demands. that's from the police point of view. the army conducting investigations - there has been

investigations conducted, preliminary investigation into the killing of a 13-year-old boy. there the army says the boy was mistakenly shot by an israeli sniper, as the army put it. significant to note. and this is something that binyamin netanyahu's government nose, is that it's only in six% of investigations that the matter moves forward in any way. in 94% of all investigations taken in by the army into its own actions, the case is closed, no prosecutions arise out of the investigation. now, these are things that the cabinet will discussion clearly the binyamin netanyahu government concerned not as much as what is happening in occupied territory, but concerned about anger among palestinian israelis, comprising 20% of the population. >> thank you. let's go to hoda abdel-hamid, who is at a checkpoint between

ramallah and nab lis. you witnessed the spreading of ut frustration ammon palestinians, what is the situation today where you are. >> well i'm actually in front of a university, simply because this university has been really at the core of a lot of protests that happened in ramallah every day since i've been here, students from this university go to ramallah, and we see what started as a peaceful protest turn into a violent confrontation. around the occupied west bank, there's clashes in the north, and in nablus. all of them called by the university students. we do understand from our colleague of al jazeera arabic, they were on the ground in nablus, that israeli forces have been using live ammunition, so the figure shown is likely going

to rise. when it rises, the anger of the young people, the students who are hopeless in the way - in the future, is going to rise as well. i think from what we have been monitoring over the past few days, you'll see more and more university students movements calling for protests. once they start you have other youth who join them. i have to say that rarely do you see any flag of any faction, political faction, at the protests. it's really a popular movement. and they say they are expressing built-up frustrations and reach a point where it's boiled over. unless there are concrete steps giving them hope. them keep on with the pressure. >> hoda abdel-hamid there live in the occupied west bank, thank you now, there are reports of the turkish military carrying out new air strikes against kurdish separatist fighters in

strikes in the south-east of turkey and northern iraq. it said that it killed 49 p.k.k. fighters in those air strikes. this issing it today because the p.k.k. declared a unilateral ceasefire on saturday. this has trailed a couple of days ago towards the end of last week, they were going to announce it today. they announced it on saturday, in the wake of bombings in ankara. the p.k.k. said it would not target security forces in the run up for the election. this attack by the turkish air forces, the turkish military - they say they have hit a couple of weapons storage facility. the military doesn't say it was targeted by the p.k.k., but they were statics targets that the turkish military decided to strike. >> do we know yet whether the

the majority of those are dependent on the agricultural sector. the number of family farms are doing well here. many of the farmers are small landholders, and they say making ss their land profitable is difficult. there's no subsidies here. more than 90% of farmers do not receive assistance at all. i think they are supposed to be more of the group that has to be driven to agriculture, not only on the production, but on the manufacturing of this agriculture. >> part of the difficulty is that there are not enough farmers to cultivate the land. most are recruited from lower lying areas.

hidden in an audio message. the answer a lot. >> that is a clean windows xp shut down sound. this one sounds identical, but hidden in the programming language is a lecture he gives in class and the audio file is the same size. those that solve the puzzles can join the organization. there has been three puzzles on january 4th, 13th and 2014. this year something more mysterious happened - nothing. there was no puzzle. they may have gotten tired or maybe whoever was doing it was wiped out by a drone. whatever the reason, the programming world will wait and watch next january 4th for a chance to join cicada 3301, whatever that is
