in the west bank and mike is in jerusalem and what more do we know about the incident where a palestinian man was shot and killed? >> reporter: well, adrian as yet there has been no independent eyewitness verification of exactly what happened in the sequence of events and we have the statement from police that the man attacked four israeli border police at the gate of the entrance to the old city, they then fired on him, killing him. however, what is not known is whether any attempt to made to arrest him before he actually carried out the alleged attack and indeed if he was armed what was he armed with. details that may emerge with incoming hours, this was the second knife attack within the last 12 hours. overnight there was an attack in northern israel and significantly the attacker in this particular case was a palestinian israeli, the second attack in which a palestinian israeli has been involved in an

attack on essentially fellow israeli citizens, significant because palestinian israelis planning a series of demonstrations in coming days and indeed a nationwide strike tomorrow. >> let's get live now to bethlehem and al jazeera is there ahead of funerals that are due to take place there, tension continues to rise, what is the mood there in bethlehem? >> reporter: well, this is actually the flash point where usually according to the people i spoke to who own businesses in this area there have been daily confrontations with the -- between the protesters and the israeli army and you see just behind me here the separation wall and behind that is where the israeli army is positioned. you see all of the army is littered with stones and there is also another type of weapon that the protesters use here and

it's little marbles and the ground is littered with this and tell me in the afternoon and in a couple of hours they do expect and take precautions there will be renewed caution because as you mentioned a young teenager died during clashes near ramallah yesterday afternoon and a 13-year-old boy and received a rubber bullet if the back of his head. that funeral is supposed to start shortly after friday prayer and it's some sort of apprehension that sorry not friday prayer but noon prayer there is some sort of apprehension that after that the youth will go back to that flash point near the settlement and will be renewed clashes there. elsewhere in the occupied west bank we heard about some fighting not on a large scale and not very intense into karam

activists since june and attacked since people have been killed and the one that happened in july on the border with syria at least 30 people were killed in the attack and hundreds wounded and coming at a time when there are increasing political divisions and parliamentary divisions happening in a few weeks on november first and because of that the political divisions in this country really widing when the government is calling for unity and it's going to be hard to establish that unity especially for the akp ruling party in turkey and we expect that the cabinet will meet and will discuss the skron going investigation and try to determine who is behind these horrific attacks that happened and expecting a spokesperson for the government will be coming out with a statement once again calling for unity and all of this happening at a time when tensions are rising and the situation deteriorating and turkey is in multiple fights including against pkk and

against i.s.i.l. and a lot happening in turkey and a complex situation and doesn't look like it's going to get any easier any time soon. nato says that russia's support forci syria's support f bashar al-assad is talking about gaining territory with air strikes and shows a russian attack in idlib province and syrian troops say they have taken control of the area and meanwhile russia's president vladim vladimir putin met to discuss conflicts and says moscow is not planning to form an alliance with iran in syria. iran along with russia are the main syrian government's allies and russia says the bombing campaign is only targeting i.s.i.l. positions and reiterated his support for president bashar al-assad.

>> translator: we don't want to get involved in any religious conflicts in syria and have only one goal to support the legitimate government and create additions for a peaceful solution, that is how initial position and we stand by it. >> u.s. president barack obama says he doesn't agree with the russian approach. >> what we have not been able to do so far and i'm the first to acknowledge this is to change the dynamic inside of syria and the goal here has been to find a way in which we can help moderate opposition on the ground but we've never been under any illusion that militarily we ourselves can solve the problem inside of syria. >> reporter: syrian and kurdish forces fighting i.s.i.l. say they are joining forces with some arab rebel groups and new military alliance is called the democratic forces of syria, the syrian kurds or ypg are backed

by the u.s. fore midable force and managed to take large parts of northeastern syria and has the support of christian and arab tribes but not more hard line opposition groups such as al-nusra front. recently u.s. abandon plans to train level saying they will only provide weapons who those who are vetted and we go to zaina and what more do we know about this new alliance? >> reporter: well, adrian this is a significant government and democratic forces like syria like you mentioned and groups like the ypg, the syrian kurdish force in northeastern syria as well as arab groups and christian fighting brigades on the ground and all these groups have fought with i.s.i.l. in previous generations but now they formalized an existing alliance and what we understand their role to be, it will be to

fight aisle and a democratic and secular syria where all the different groups can live side by side and they are also telling me that they're hope ing this alliance will be the nucleus of a new army in syria and i managed to speak to a high-ranking official in a democratically autonomous area and an area under control of kurdish administration, what he is saying is that this unification on the ground was necessary because of changing dynamics and he talked about the russian military intervention. what he also told me was that this new force has the backing of both the united states and russia and signs on the ground really indicate or lends credence to those claims and just a few days ago the u.s. said we are not going to train a rebel force to fight i.s.i.l. and provide groups who we have vetted on the ground and the u.s. has worked with these groups in the past. they have provided air cover to these groups when they have taken on i.s.i.l., the russians

were meetings a few days ago between russian officials as well as syrian and kurdish officials and heard the head of the syrian kurds we are ready to work with any group who wants to fight i.s.i.l. and the question is will this group be the nucleus of an army and who they will work with against i.s.i.l. and possibly be part of a new army because we have to remember russian officials keep talking about saying we are ready to work with fsa groups and we would lake to incorporate those groups in the army, it's too early to say but undoubtedly this is a significant development. >> dana is live in beirut. five nato military personnel have been killed in a helicopter crash in the afghan capitol kabul and two were british and five others injured when the aircraft went down at nato's headquarters and says the craft was an accident. a court in iran has convicted

u.s. reporter jason rezaian in an espionage case but it's unclear whether he has been sentenced and the washington post chief has been held more than 400 days on allegations of spying and always disputed the, the washington post that is, that rezaian is a spy. >> how jason's case will be handled is political authorities, not judicial ones and we heard from president rohani saying they will move it to conclusion if the united states will do something in return so i really think that the court process that has been going on for months and months and months in some ways is just the first act, that the final decision needs to be made by iran's highest authorities. >> al jazeera's kimberly has more now on the details of rezaian's case and the campaign to free him. >> reporter: for months his name has flashed outside the headquarters of the washington

post reminding passersby that for more than 400 days one of their own newspaper reporter jason rezaian has been held in captivity and says his time in prison has been difficult. >> jason has been isolated for much of the time in custody. he spent a lot of the months in solitary confinement and had really very little contact with the outside world. >> reporter: rezaian was arrested along with his journalist wife and to photo journalists in 2014 and all were eventually released except rezaian who was charged with espionage and charged in secret inside this tehran court and his family maintained rezaian has been incents. >> he loved iraq and so infectious he has a career of sharing the beauty with others. >> reporter: he was born in california and holds dual iran and united states citizenship and joined the washington post as it's correspondent in 2012

and worked for release and appealing to a human rights panel for help. at a black tie dinner in washington the president of the united states spoke about rezaian's imprisonment. >> jason has been in prison for writing about the hopes and fears of the people. >> reporter: eliminating the program that rezaian and others in iran said would be freed as part of the deal but the white house says the issues are separate and the agreement was signed without their release, and rezaian's time behind bars has been troubling for the washington post foreign editor and says the increasing trend of locking up journalists is alarming. >> we are used to the threat from armies and from wars. what we have seen in the last couple of years is just as troubling, the governments seem to be arresting and holding journalists for the crime of acting as journalists. >> reporter: paying a

substantial price for attempting to tell the story that governments don't often want to be told. >> from the news area from al jazeera votes account attempted by the torch light in the presidential pole and the second since independence 60 years ago, travesty in south korea as they change the way they teach the country's past and tell you why. back from the brink and we will tell you how the toronto blue jays kept the series alives with the rangers in the baseball playoffs coming up, next. ♪ russian gas company has resumed supplies to ukraine after receiving advanced payment of $234 million and they stopped supplying gas to ukraine in july after a price dispute. under the deal ukraine's state energy company will have to pay

a total of $500 million and moscow hiked the charges for ukraine following last year's moscow's leader yanukovich and talked about the east of the soviet nation and give us some background to this news, rory. >> reporter: well, it took weeks of negotiations, tri lateral negotiations with the gas and involving ukraine and involving the eu as well as a mediator to get to this stage. they were talking about what sort of price they would be charging and finally got to an agreement towards the end of september and now we have the gas flowing again so it's a combination of a long process really. ukraine is paying $230 per 1,000 cubic meters of gas and it's not a particularly bad deal for

ukraine and it's more than they wanted to pay and higher when the relations between moscow and kiev were much better but it's less than moscow charges the other long time european customers and it's also less than kiev was paying when gas was flown before in 2015 so things have not actually worked out too bad for kiev here. having said that though it's a sign of how poor ukraine is at the moment, how bad its finances are and it cannot actually afford to pay for it itself. the money going into the gas coffers which of course is a state-controlled company and therefore going to the russian state is coming from russian institutions in form of bailouts. >> rory what are the political implications of this and what does it mean for the war in the east of ukraine? >> well, russia of course has a

representation as a country and energy exporting country that uses energy as a political tool for pressure rising its customers, pressureing the neighbors and seems like the conflict is deescalating and seems like the rebels in the east and the government in kiev are finding more common ground, both of them are pulling their weapons back from the contact line in donbask. the conflict seems to be at least for the moment winding down a little bit. now many people predicted this would happen if moscow escalated its activity in syria which it is obviously doing and many people said if that happens then the conflict in eastern ukraine might die down a little and maybe we could have a look at the gas bill of being a feature of that particular landscape and can also look at it more of a

business deal with more business orientated eyes and say russia is a gas exporting country and needs to export gas and the other needs to import gas and therefore these two brokers and these two players would have to come to a deal like this at some point and they have been. >> rory challenge in moscow. egyptian media is reporting that the sons of the former president mubarak are to be released from prison after a court on sunday ruled they completed their three-year charges of embezzlement in a case known as the presidential palace case. you will remember the former president himself hosni-mubarak was convicted in the state and embezzled funds ear marked for the renovation of egypt's presidential palaces, more on that when we get it and the two

and in the past seven years and it has a new kind of system where different publishers will introduce textbooks chosen by each school that will be used and going back to the history and going back to the past and the special event will continue on because the voice is very strong and very strong about government dictating one version of history and calling it the right history. actually it's interesting the name of the textbook will bear when it's introduced one year from now and will it be the right history to the textbook and people are saying this government dictated right kind of history which we are very one sided one. >> i'll show you a few there with heavy rain and even snow in some parts of eastern europe and here to tell us more is metrologist richard and it's early october. >> i know but the weather charts

in new guinea and we report from manila. >> reporter: the philippines has a long history of accepting refugees from other asian countries and as far as europe and provided sanctuary to hundreds of refugees who fled from vietnam during the civil war in the 1970s and built a ve vietnamese village and settling in other countries and those who attempt to reach australia by boat is not quite the same. australia has reportedly offered over $100 million to the philippine government in the span of five years to take the refugees, something that officials here have strongly denied. >> in this issue of migration of the refugees, we can consider but at the same time we have to take into account our own resources and capabilities. >> reporter: refugees tried to

reach australia showers have been sent to hundreds of prisons on the islands in papa new guinea in the tiny pacific nation of malu where living conditions are difficult for many and they set the refugees who tried to reach australia by boat but $55 million arrangement has been criticized by many. australia has taken a long stand of people taking the boat to minimize death at sea. >> the resolve of the prime minister and myself and the whole nsc the whole of the cabinet and the government is to make sure that we don't allow deaths at sea to recommerce and absolutely determined to stay down the threat of people smugglers and not allow the boats to recommence. >> reporter: since australia is the signatory to the 1951

joins us now live from sidney and many people watching around the world will see australian policies as truly shocking and how on earth did it become consensus across the political spectrum, do you see it changing any time soon? >> well, it is a shocking situation. we have got two of the main political parties that have just decided it is political with an advantage to be seen and hashed on refugees and convergence of policies between the two parties and the only way you can get elected in australia and we disagree and at a time where public opinion has been a majority against policies we are seeing now with off-shore processing and at the moment we are starting to see a change in community opinion and once again opposing people settled on the

rue and people horrified about bha the government is doing to people in the room. >> many people around the world and obviously people in australia too will see it as a racist policy and what harm is this doing to australia's reputation? >> it's doing incalcuable harm and the people who come to australia are australia's responsibility and shouldn't be a menace and not in cambodia and not in the philippines and the government's approach to the philippines is one indication of fundamental flaws in the off shore processing arrangement and doesn't have settlement arrangement and none with popa new guinea and 55 million and four people have been willing to go there, it's clearly dead in the water as well. i don't think the philippines will agree either. there are fundamental

contradictions which at the end of the day i think will make the off shore processing arrangements completely unsustainable and do agree lot of damage to the people involve and asylum seekers and to the international reputation and it's racist and zenophobic, no doubt about that. >> reporter: cambodia did get $55 million in additional aid from australia which is now negotiating with the philippines as well to transfer asylum seekers there and only four people have been transferred and some have been on there for what two years? >> yes, i would say yes now, it's very clear that cambodia cannot resettle. it's a very poor country they have been able to bribe and coerce rights of asylum seekers

and that is the problem australia has got, international community recognizes the people in australia's responsibility and able to bribe and new guinea and cambodia and don't think it's the same for the others, you cannot buy rights. an officer who shot dead a 12-year-old boy carrying a toy gun acted within reason and see if charges should be in the case of tamir rice and allen fisher reports. >> reporter: a video shocked the u.s. and world, a 12-year-old playing in a park in cleveland, ohio playing with a toy gun and missing the orange cap which would indicate it's a toy and a man is scared and the man sitting in the background called police and said the gun was probably fake. >> it's probably fake but do you know what it's scary. >> reporter: that wasn't passed

as was his response to that perceived threat and former f.b.i. agent kimberly crawford said not only was the officer required to make a split-second decision but the response was a reasonable one and could not say the weapon was anything but a real handgun and they say the reports are part of a white wash and grand jury in cleveland will decide if the police officers involved are to be charged, allen fisher, al jazeera. bolivia president has called for a conference on climate change ahead of a u.n. summit in paris in december. in his country the city people fear their voices won't be heard at the confwrens, many still don't have access to running water as daniel reports. >> she wants clean running water so she doesn't have to climb to this tank every morning or pay $6 she can't afford to fill it
