9:01 am
victims of saturday's twin blast. >> nepal gets a new prime minister as the country is in the grip of anti constitution process and food shortages. >> we begin with breaking news. the iraqi military said its air force has struck a convoy of the leader of the i islamic state of iraq and the levant. baghdadi's fate is unknown. rumors about his death surfaced earlier this year and in march were reports that he was seriously wounded in an air strike by the u.s.-led coalition against isil. his only public appearance on video has been to deliver a speech in mosul after isil captured the northern iraqi city last year. >> israel's government faces serious questions over use of force against palestinian protestors as a wave of violence spreads across israel and the
9:02 am
occupied territories. since the beginning of october 4, israelis have been killed and 63 injured in attacks by palestinians. the 23 palestinians are dead, and 1,991 injured after action by israeli forces. that's according to the palestinian health ministry. well, witness accounts and videos have led to the accusations by rights groups that some of the deaths could amount to extra judicial killings. >> that's a palestinian teenager shot and killed last week. he was running from a stabbing that happened moments before. then on friday, an israeli palestinian woman was critically wounded after she was shot by israeli forces at a checkpoint in galilee. israeli police say she was waving a knife when they shot her.
9:03 am
real concerns being raised by human rights organizations about the rules of engagement being applied or not by israeli forces. what's been the israeli response? >> well, there's been no formal israel response as yet. we spoke to a police spokesman early on in the course of the day. he said that police officers had to deal with each scene according to the specific nature of it. he said that on each of the occasions in those knifing attacks, it was deemed to the police officer's life was at risk or there was an eminent threat to others within the vicinity and he's confirmed no investigations were being launched into any of those shootings as a consequence of those knifing attacks. that is from the police point of view at this stage. no formal response from the government to the allegations made by human rights organizations, but certainly one of the most damming of those claims was made by the red crescent, which says that in the
9:04 am
past week alone, nearly 300 palestinians have been wounded with live ammunition, wounded or killed. a number have been killed by sharp point ammunition, as well. this is an extraordinary high number and shows that live ammunition is being used very widely in the occupied territory. >> was this something at all that was discussed by the cabinet meeting discussed by netanyahu today? what do we know that has come out of that? >> well, in terms of the statements i should affidavit r. afterwards, no reference made to the accusations made by the human rights groups. instead, it was confirmed that legislation which has been pressed for for a number of weeks, this legislation is important, provides for mandatory prison sentences for anybody convicted of throwing
9:05 am
stones or lighting fireworks and has consequences for the parents of those who throw stones for light fireworks. clearly there were a large number of other issues discussed, but this was the statement that has emerged in the wake of the cabinet meeting, the first one in nearly three weeks. >> ok, mike, thank you for that update from west jerusalem. we want to show you a video that's emerged of an elderly palestinian man facing armed forces in hebron in the west bank. what he was doing is telling them to stop shooting and killing younger palestinians. they threatened to arrest him and told him to leave. take a look at this video. >> get away from here. >> i'm not going away from here. i won't go away. it's not right what you are doing, shame on you for pointing your guns at children. take your soldiers away from here. don't shoot, if one of them dies, you will all die, too. be careful, don't absolute,
9:06 am
don't shoot at children. shame on you, don't shoot, don't raise your hand at me. shame! shame! shame! get away. i will arrest you. you can't. don't shoot there. you have no right to fire your arms. get away, get away. >> i won't go away. i won't go away. don't shoot. don't shoot. why? you want to kill more? we just buried two today. you want to kill more? are you not ashamed of yourself? go to ethiopia. don't shoot. >> so that was a video that has emerged. has witnessed firsthand confrontations here. joining me from ramallah to tell me what you are seeing here today. >> today, there's again, i mean, this has been a flashpoint for
9:07 am
the past few days. just in the past few minutes, that group of youth that you can see behind us had pushed forward on to that road. immediately, the israelis pushed them back to where they are now. they managed actually to seize one of the palestinian youth. we did also see them shoot at some health workers who were trying to reach that area where they are just across the road to pick up what we believe is wounded palestinians. i have to say that this clashes here have been on going, but they're much more fierce clashes at the moment in nables. according to the palestinian health ministry, 45 people so far have been wounded by live ammunition. from what we understand from reporters underground, the intensity of the clashes there is quite unprecedented, actually in this latest crisis.
9:08 am
it had been calm. this his the first day of clashes here. there are clashes to the north and we here of clashes in bethlehem and hebron. >> with all of these clashes going on, what home run the palestinian authority representatives and officials saying right now? >> well, the palestinian authorities have been calling for calm. they do say that peaceful demonstration, they do prefer peaceful demonstrations while continuing negotiations. youth aren't listening to that. they say they will have their voices heard and they will continue doing that. you saw the video of the old man in hebron. there are several other videos
9:09 am
that go viral, each of these, plus the funerals, plus the wounded, all of that add to this charged atmosphere. no matter how much the palestinian authority would call for calm, at the moment, it's very difficult for the message to be heeded by these youth. they come from universities, universities really at the core at this time of the protest. they're not, they don't identify themselves as being part of any political faction, so -- and they are also angry, i would say at the palestinian authority, saying it's too weak, that the palestinians are giving in too much. there is frustration. that is increasing by the day, and so as long as that goes on, i think clashes like the ones behind me and the ones going a bit all over the occupied west bank will continue. >> thank you for that update from ramallah.
9:10 am
the israeli palestinian director of human rights watch, she says the use of lethal force in the occupied west bank is extremely worrying. >> we have very strong concerns about excessive use of force and very strong concerns about the possibility of in discriminate or even deliberate fire on crowds of demonstrators. certainly in the incident that i describe in which our research assistant was shot and injured, there did not seem to be any threat to life. i want to be clear. international standards rewarding the use of lethal force prohibit police and soldiers from using live firearms unless absolutely necessary to protect life, and even then, they must give warning so far as that's possible. that is not what we saw at the demonstration in which our research assistant was shot. it is not seen all over the west bank.
9:11 am
the sheer number combined with other reports raises strong concerns that israeli forces are violating international law. i want to be very clear. israel is the occupying power in the west bank. it has an obligation to protect civilians, even to protect the palestinian civilians who are protesting the occupation. lethal force is to be used only when absolutely necessary and that is not what we are seeing. >> here with the al jazeera news hour, security tightens up after days of fighting between rival camps. >> a massive march in the u.s. capital seeking justice for african-americans killed by police. >> the new york mets try to clinch their series against the los angeles dodgers.
9:12 am

9:13 am
aleppo. >> in aleppo, the opposition has lost ground to isil, who's fighters stormed into the northern countryside and captured villages along with a military base. it was the most significant advance by the armed group in months. the opposition says isil launched the assault while rebel forces were focused on reinforcing their defenses on other fronts. this is the only road leading to opposition controlled districts in aleppo city, the army and its allies are within firing range of the road, cutting it off with besieged rebel-held areas in the city. now, isil is closer than ever to what was once syria's commercial capital. >> syrians in general had people in aleppo in particular fear the word has abandoned them. russia is hitting their rebels and not isil. the so-called friends of the opposition are providing little help. we need immediate help to stop isil's advance and russian strikes. >> on the ground, opposition groups are fighting back.
9:14 am
they are promising that hama will be the gave yard for what they call the invading armies. the government with russian backing is just as determined. it wants to end the presence of the opposition. >> before the campaign, the rebels had the upper hand and were threatening the government on a number of fronts, especially in the province. the campaign has put the rebels on the defensive. they are facing pressure from many fronts and from many enemies. sedona horde, al jazeera, beirut. >> a funeral service has been held for a senior iranian revolutionary guard commander killed in fights in syria. he died on the outskirts of aleppo an thursday. iran denied that its forces are on the ground helping to prop up bashar al assad's government. tehran said it only offers advice to the syrian army. he was a veteran of the
9:15 am
iran-iraq war. >> there are reports of airstrikes against the kurdish in the southeast and northbound iraq. the armed group kurdistan workers party or p.k.k. ordered its members to halt fighting. 95 people were killed in those blasts at a peace rally near the main train station. thousands of people gathered in the turkish capital, for commemoration ceremony. the attack in ankara raised tensions ahead of parliamentary elections. bernard is there to tell us what the mood is like. we understand turkey is in three days of mourning as it investigates to try to understand what really happened during those attacks in ankara. >> this is a country in shock about this. this is the most serious terrorist attack there's been on
9:16 am
turkish soil in this country's history since its founding, since the modern turkish state was founded, 95 killed, 65 people in intensive care. the prime minister said yesterday that there were a couple of different groups. he suspected what could have been behind this, either the kurdistan workers party, the p.k.k. or isil. however, the p.k.k. have trailed that it was going to announce a ceasefire by some day today. it announced that on saturday instead in the wake of those bombings, and now the reuters news agency quotes security sources saying their initial indications suggest that both the farmers were members of isil, so they seem to have been able to identify the remains of those suicide bombers and attach them to people who have been suspected of being members of isil. there have also been a couple of
9:17 am
raids in other turkish cities today in which 28 people have been detained. all of those are suspected members of isil. >> has there been any response from the p.k.k. about those reported military airstrikes carried out on p.k.k. tares in the southeast of turkey and northern iraq? no, there has been no response. they say they targeted weapons storage facilities in northern iraq and southeastern turkey and turkish military said 49p.k.k. fighters were killed. also, there's been a separate incident in azurum near the border with armenia in the northeast of turkey. there, two turkish soldiers have
9:18 am
been killed in fighting with suspected p.k.k. members. we think this might be p.k.k. fighters involved in fighting in the towns rather than p.k.k. fighters that live in the mountains. >> bernard, thank you for that update from istanbul. >> iran says it successfully test fired a guided long-range bliss system missile. it's a new type of surface missile, which can be controlled until its eventual strike. ran hasn't revealed where or when the test took place. this is the first missile test by iran since it reached the historic nuclear deal with world powers in july. >> pro-government forces in yemen are now large i in control east of the capital sanna after the withdrawal of the houthi rebels. local authorities have reopened the only hospital in the regional capital. we have more.

9:25 am
the white policeman in the u.s. who fatally shot a black boy last year say the killing was justified. 12-year-old tamir rice was holding a pellet gun in a park when he was shot. the review said the officer exercised a reasonable use of force and had reason to think the boy was a serious threat. the killing of rice and other black men has become part of a national out cry against authorities of people dying in encounters with police. alan fisher has more. >> in the shadow of the u.s. capitol believe, they came, tens of thousands from all over the country, mashing the day 20 years ago when black men gathered, prayed and called for change. >> it's a great experience to see this many people come together for the cause. over the past 20 years a lot has changed. it's time for us to continue doing things like this to make progress in what's going on in

use of antibiotic in livestock production. there are concerns the over use is contributing to human infections from antibiotic resistance bacteria known at super bugs. our science editor explains. >> intensive farming has long relied on the routine use of antibiotics, which keep animals healthy and make them grow fast. so much so, about 70% of antibiotics sold in the united states are now used on animals. the overuse of the drugs on animals is a problem that can result in so-called super bugs, strains of drug resistant bacteria that can threaten humans. >> the use of antibiotics as a growth promoter is something we discourage countries to take steps to exit gradually, because at the end of the day, the antibiotic residual in the meat, in the seafood that you are
9:38 am
buying will also, you know, give you, over time, the problem. >> we all have e-coli in our gut, but some trains cause diarrhea, kidney failure, even death. traditionally you would have treated that with penicillin, one of the first antibiotics discovered. penicillin causes the cell membranes to rupture, job done. the problem arises when patients don't take the full course of their antibiotics or the antibiotics are of poor quality, giving the chance to develop a resistance to the drug. if this happens, the drugs don't work and the drug resistant strain of bacteria can fast become dominant. >> the new law aims to help prevent the rise of these super bags. from january 1, 2018, antibiotics will only be allowed to given to animals for disease prevention, not to fatten them up. antibiotics will have to be ordered by a licensed vet and
9:39 am
the state, food and agriculture department will monitor the sale and use of the frugs. in the u.s., about 2 million people a year are infected with drug resistant bacteria, about 23,000 die as a result. the problem is global and leading experts say the impact of enter bugs will be felt most in developing countries. >> if we don't turn the tide on this, in 2050, there will be 10 million deaths a year, more than we have dying at the moment of cancer every year, and that that will be predominantly in the developing word, india, china, they will all suffer. >> many say the rules like those planned in california are a necessary first step, but they need to be adopted and enforced more broadly if they are to be an effective global response to this growing health threat. al jazeera, doha. >> the u.s. is set to investigation allegations that
9:40 am
benefits in the u.k. may have led to the deaths of people. they died after being denied government support. lawrence lee reports. >> jill has nothing but fond memories of the place she used to play with their brother, david when they were children. now there's just a plaque in the ground and an oak tree to remember him planted outside the flats where he was found dead. this man served his country in the army, was part of a close knit family, nursed his mother through dementia. he had diabetes, but his government bens fits stopped when he missed an appointment. with electricity cut off, he had no money to keep his insulin cold in the fridge. he was found dead with a pile of c.v.'s next to his body and $5 to his name. >> the autopsy, said there was nothing in his stomach. there was no food in his stomach. >> the system of getting disabled people to work was

9:42 am
brother? >> completely. of course it did. and if i was very cynical i would say it's deliberate. they know in their heart that the marchness of applying the rules don't take into account mental health issues and have been told about it repeatedly. >> he lived here in this pretty little place in the can't sit wednesday of the prime minister, david cameron. the british government said there is no proof of disabled people dying as a direct result of being declared fit for work and taken off benefits. it's argued the people taken offer disability benefits and declared fit for work have died shortly afterwards, all of which have now piqued the interest of human rights workers at the united nations. >> the demand for the united nations to investigate this came from a small group of volunteers working for disabled rights. they argue that if the government doesn't want to find out the impact of its own policies, then maybe the u.n. will. >> we had a response from the
9:43 am
government. work is good for people and we are trying. they don't address the real issue that the system is harming people and i would say sometimes it's killing people. >> separately, jill thompson has launched a petition calling for an independent inquiry into whether government policies have killed the disabled in the name of austerity. she is also busy laying flowers on her brother's grave. lawrence lee, al jazeera. >> still ahead on the news hour, cracking the code, some of the brightest minds get together to find out whose behind one of the most complicated on line puzzles.

9:47 am
be a springboard to a diverse range of opportunities often unimagined by children who call this area home. >> thanks to a helping hand 14 years ago, he went to college to study art. today, he's a professional artist. from security checks at his local metro station to modern interpretations of mahatma gandhi's dough series to three monkeys, see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil. >> is the richest artist in the world, so if he can become such a rich artist, why want i? >> students approach him with a sense of reference. her feedback and encouragement provide confidence in otherwise
