ourselves, destroying terrorist houses, we are wiping out the people against us and the islamic movement. we are fighting against the molotov cocktails and the stones and taking revenge for the people who have been killed. i expect the support of the opposition party in these actions and also in establishing the law against this wave of terror. >> joined by al jazeera's andrew simmons, he is in west jerusalem. andrew i understand there are reports of another incident just in the past half hour or so. what can you tell us about that? >> that's right, the police are saying that here in west jerusalem a bus with a palestinian on board who pulled a knife on a soldier, and then the soldier was resisting, he was lightly wounded 5 by the knife. palestinians got involved trying to restrain the civilian, opened

fire killing the palestinian. nothing more is known on this but the police do confirm the palestinian man is dead. this is the fourth knife attack the police have reported today, and on monday. a really grim day. one of the worst since this crisis began. and really, there seems to be no real signs of any control being rested on the situation. it's definitely spiraling. barbara. >> i guess benjamin netanyahu is trying the take some control over the situation, we're seeing in parliament these new security measures trying to be pushed through. i mean ultimately how likely are they to be effective in their aim according to benjamin netanyahu is in calming the situation? >> well, that is the key question. there are so many questions about this escalation in the

situation. netanyahu briefed parliament the knesset after its summer recess, a really grim mood saying this was knife terror that israelis were being confronted with.about anwith.and went through a raft f clauses make parents of under 18s a go at losing their social security payment and paying fines for youngsters who were involved in violence. because so many of the people we are seeing are young teenagers not only just with stone-throwing as has often been the case but with knives involved in these lewd acts of random violence. which is not controlled by any palestinian leader. it's just random in its nature and very hard for the security forces and indeed for the

security forces to deal with. but netanyahu said he was going through with these new measures and he would also condemn the attacked palestinian leaders. he also attacked two members of the knesset accusing all of them of goading on the violence, insighting the violence. so we really have sabr arrakat the plo secretary responding that what netanyahu was sa talkg about, where israeli soldiers were goading on the residents. there are a powder keg of a situation, not going to be resolved by a firmer hand. nobody knows whether it's going to escalate or slightly die down. one of the other questions are just what procedures are the police and the army using in

confronting suspects in these situations? it would seem from all the limited evidence we have so far, there seems to be very hasty judgments being made, questions shoot first ask questions later. >> andrew simmons with the latest from west jerusalem. andrew, thank you. al jazeera's hoda abdel hamid is in bethlehem . she sent us this update. >> reporter: there have been daily confrontations with the -- between protesters and the israeli army. you see just behind me here the separation wall and behind that is where the israeli army is positioned. you see all around me it's littered with stones. and i notice that there is also another type of weapon that the protesters use here, and those are little marbles like this, little marble balls of all the

colors. the ground is littered with that. now people here tell me that every afternoon they do expect and they do take their precautions that there will be renewed clashes, as well as because a young teenager died during clashes near raw [applause] ramallah, yesterday afternoon. he is a 13-year-old boy and he received a rubber bullet just in the back of his head. fighting not very large scale not very intense. >> turkey's prime minister says the government is close to identifying the two suicide bombers that it says carried out saturday's bomb attack in ankara, amit davitolu says i.s.i.l. is the prime suspect.

mohammed jamjoom has the story. >> you can see it in their faces. you can hear it in their sighs. with each passing hour, sadness deepens, with every passing day, resentment grows. >> translator: in heart of the capital in ankara, these explosions occur it just raises so many questions. >> reporter: since the attacks near ankara's main train station on saturday two of this man's nieces is missing. mother of three children. fatima on the right was the mother of two. both were attending a peace rally when the suicide bombers attacked. in the painful wait to loak theilocatetheir bodies, they ary they are sad. >> how can nobody say there is no security weakness? how do these people bring the bombs here, how do they enter

the square? how do they debt inflate the bombs? >> as questions pile up satisfactory answers have yet to be found. these tents were set up immediately after the attack to accommodate families of the victims. now most of the people we've spoken with here are kurdish. they donated dna to help authorities identify the remains of their loved ones. family members wait outside ankara's medical forensic authority complex. farmer had been working the fields in her village when she heard the news. >> my daughter came here for a peace rally. did she come with a gun in her hand? no. she came empty handed and came to call for peace. >> reporter: she accuses the government of treating them like second class citizens. >> is my daughter dead or alive? if she is dead, show me her

body. show me her flesh and blood. nobody is helping. >> reporter: it's clear more and more of the kurdishing population feel aggrieved and down trottenned. >> we are just pro-peace, living for peace, dying for it. and even in our death we are asking for peace and peace only. >> reporter: that so many people were killed at a rally where they were demanding peace only makes it hurt that much more. with trauma this severe, these wounds will be extremely hard to heal. mohammed jamjoom al jazeera, ankara turkey. >> turkish analyst, joining us from washington, d.c. thank you for joining us on al jazeera. >> my pleasure. >> the government is pointing its finger to i.s.i.l, it is likely that i.s.i.l. is behind this attack.

it's interesting that they have not claimed responsibility. they are not usually a retiring group. even throw the government is accusing i.s.i.l. there is no open claim of responsibility. >> earlier signs had indicated that this could be an i.s.i.l. attack and now i'm hearing from friends in ankara that this could indeed be i.s.i.l. of course this is very problematic because turkey faces a real threat from i.s.i.l, daesh, and the larger problems that undercut turkey's society. this is as close as it could get to being a 9/11. killing nearly 100 people, injuring hundreds of others. any other country attack like this everybody would unite in sympathy for victims and unified front against terror. in turkey the opposite has happened. pro, and antigovernment camps

have emwroid, deeply being divided into proponents and opponents of erdogan. erdogan is a conservative right wing candidate liter leade leads built a support base of people that love him. but he won successful elections by beating out people who oppose him. he has gone after businesses that are unfriendly to him. sending police too crack down on peaceful rallies. he has alienated leftists kurdish rebels so turkey is divided between two camps of those who love erdogan and those who hate erdogan. and unfortunately, this plan is mobilized perhaps that is what i.s.i.s. wanted. it is time for turks to get involved instead of enflaming each other of course. >> how to not claim

responsibility that left a vacuum for government and other groups to accuse each other. it's obviously why i.s.i.l. would want to attack turkey, turkey is now attacking i.s.i.l. but in what specific way do you think i.s.i.l. is doing it? do you think it's specific as to create an even more divided turkey. >> i.s.i.s. has not claimed responsibility because obviously they realize after the attack the government would blame the kurds and their allies the leftists, and the kurdish block would blame the government. that's exactly what happened. i think that's why they're not claiming responsibility. otherwise, the group is very interested in seeing a turkish kurdish fight in the area which would undermine turkey's responsibility to help the united states and others in the area. and hoping turkey would be distracted in the battle against i.s.i.s. this is the group's strategy odivide turkey both inside the country and in syria.

as you know the kurds have been fighting i.s.i.s, of course this attack would now have an opposite effect, perhaps that's why i.s.i.l. miscalculated. it will be very clear in a few days that i.s.i.l. was attacked -- behind this and that the turks and kurds to be yeunteuniteduniteunited. >> sir thank you for joining us. well you're watching al jazeera, coming up on this newshour from london we'll hear from people on germany's southern border with austria, where picture post card scenes go hand in hand with a refugee crisis. an raising questions about argentina's indigenous people. and another day, another

allegation at fifa, the latest football official to be suspended. but first, syrian kurdish forces fighting the islamic state of iraq and the levant are joining together with smaller groups to forge a new military alliance. the situation on the ground remains fluid. president assad's regime holds the west of the country. de facto capital of i.s.i.l. is raqqa. kurdish ypg are now combining with syrian arab groups in the region to fight as the democrat democratic forces of syria. according to u.s. forces the syrian arab forces in the new coalition will lead a renewed push to retake tai territory frm

i.s.i.l. zeina khodr reports on what this means on the ongoing conflict. >> help of the u.s. led coalition air strikes much of the northeast areas along the border with turkey are now under their control. they have been fighting alongside some arab groups and an assyrian christian group. that alliance has now been formalized. they call themselves the democratic coalition of syria. >> now, the situation is changing very quickly, so this force is made up of, this kind of, we can't say unification on the ground. >> the new group says its role will be to fight i.s.i.l. and push what it calls for a diffraction and secularized syria. its leaders say they have the backing of the u.s. and russia.

the announcement was made days after the u.s. said it was abandoning plans to train some of the rebel forces and instead provide weapons to forces that have already been vetted. the united states has already worked with brigades who are part of the democratic association of syria. among the groups coming under fire are conservative brigades like arar ashem and el nusra front. they are not part of the alliance and not supported by the u.s. now russia says it is ready to cooperate with the u.s. led coalition. >> reporter: the democratic forces of syria is not a new

force. it is an existing one that was supported 50 u.s. coalition but now has a kurdish and arab face. zeina khodr, al jazeera, beirut. >> germany's ruling coalition is pressing ahead with plans to set up so-called transit zones at its southern border to assess asylum applications. german chancellor angela merkel, as jonah hull reports from southern germany, there are signs that her policy may be losing public support. >> reporter: when german chancellor angela merkel delivered what appeared to be an open invitation to refugees earlier this summer, it is likely that she didn't even foresee the overall effect. germany could take in 800,000, the real figure could be almost double that. here we are in a germantown on

the bank of the river, in this place, austria, the place where picture post card pleats the face of human tragedy. how long will you stay had? >> full of my years. >> the rest of your life? >> the rest of my years. >> there are signs that germany's generosity is wearing thin. last week mrs. merkel was tiched ttippedto earn the nobel peace e for her positions, she didn't. >> how many more people can germany take? >> translator: one of our main concerns is that unlimited migration could create insurmountable problems. >> already, problems are mounting. videos posted on social media show fights breaking out in overcrowded reception centers,

as frustration rises state governments report a shortage of winter housing. >> i think many people here. >> reporter: too many people? >> too many people be, just waiting. just waiting. >> waiting for what? >> i don't know. >> they don't tell you? >> no no no. >> so what do you think will happen? >> i don't know. >> reporter: perhaps most significant is the change in public opinion. just over half of all germans say they now fear the refugee influx, from a third during the summer. >> i think we can take a lot of them but not all. we have no houses no flats we have no shops, first they have to learn german. it's a problem. >> do you think chancellor merkel made a mistake? >> we will see. we will see. >> reporter: so the finger-pointing has begun and

while chancellor merkel insists the right to asylum has no limit, it appears that germany might. jonah hull, al jazeera, bavaria. >> almost two and a half thousand refugees are on their way through mainland greece, the ship is one of three being used to bring refugees from the island of lesbos, on the turkish coast. men and women disembarking, immediately took a bus to athens for next stage of their journey. well, australia is in negotiations with the philippines to resettle refugees it's holding on the pacific island nation of that areu. thanaru.from manila, jamilla aln reports.

>> even as far as europe, it provided sanctuary to hundreds of refugees who fled from vietnam during the civil war in the 1970s. they built a vietnamese village on the isle of pa pa palao. in a span of five years to take the refugees. something that officials here have strongly denied. >> in this recent issue of migration of refugees, we can consider, but at the same time, we have to take into account our own resources and capabilities. >> reporter: refugees have tried to reach australia's shores have been sent to hundreds of prisons on manos island and papua new guinea and

the small pacific island of na naru. , reaching australia by boat, the $55 million arrangement has been criticized by many. awft has long taken a hard stand on asylum seekers who reached their shores by boat. to prevent death at sea. >> i want to reiterate the resolve of the prime minister and myself the whole of nsc, the cabinet end of the government is to make sure we don't allow deaths at sea to recommence, we are absolutely determined to stair do you, and not allow the boats to recommence. >> but the united nations high commissioner for refugees says since australia is the signatory to the convention he has a responsibility to do more. >> is it fair for member states

to transpost its responsibility to another member state? that's an important question which must be answered in full consultation with all concerned stakeholders. >> reporter: rights groups here say australia can very well afford to take care of its asylum seekers. and it's a better to resettle them in a country that is largely impositive relinquished. a backlash for president aquino's government, may mean enticing more human smugglers to consider the philippines a dropoff point too. jamilla alendoggan, al jazeera, manila. preparing an attack on moscow, the national antiterrorism committee said it found explosives in an apartment it raided. no detail on the number of suspects or their identity.

stories here on al jazeera. three palestinians have been shot dead and two israelis critically injured following violence in jerusalem and the west bank. syrian forces fighting the islamic state of iraq and the levant are joining together to form a new military alliance in the northwest of the country. funeral services are taking place all over turkey. turkish government says it's close to oifer wh identifying ws responsible. marwan bashara, good to see you. violence is nothing new in the palestinian territories, and israel every couple of years, thousand-plus are killed in gaza in the latest war between israel and hamas there. but what do you make of this specific kind of violence?

people effectively taking knives, lone wolf attacks so to speak. what do you make of that development? >> i would actually steer away from calling it lone wolves because here in the united states and perhaps in the u.k. they tend to associate that with acts of terror. and in palestine regardless how we characterize this, it is different from i.s.i.l, al qaeda and so on. having said that barbara, i would say, i'm quite a pacifist as you know. if you look at the history of violence of occupied people, say the algerians against french or the iraqi against the americans, occupied people have generally far, far, far more violent in their resistance against occupier than palestinians.

i 30 question of so many of us that is kind of perplexing, not exactly perplexing, let me say confusing, how come the palestinians have been so passive towards their occupation. although they have been occupied for over five decades. >> and marwan, it's been interesting listening to the coverage on al jazeera, we have spoken to many in the occupied territories about it, even the youngish 20-somethings, even they said it actually, didn't have any belief that it was part of a structured attack or any coordination or any hope that it would change things. how different is the situation in the palestinian territories now as opposed to be second intifada, giving these attacks some sort of structure? >> look barbara the palestinians in general, because there has

been very little international intervention, you know because of the american veto specifically, and because there is no way to there is no way to divine help if you will, turn to the hamas islamist movement, that didn't help them too much. their leadership giving up on the international community giving up on the arab world taking matters into their own hands because simply no one is coming to their help. palestinians are trying to break out of occupation, the israelis are trying to prolong the occupation, until they are satisfied with their conditions being met by the palestinians, and hence, what you have now is palestinians basically have no one to turn to not even god for that matter and hence they're taking things into their own lands. and what is the international community doing about it? if i would quote to you prime minister netanyahu would i say,

silence, deafening silence like this. silence. >> okay. but i guess the thing that is different now as opposed to you know even five years ago is a situation in the surrounding area, the middle east, the war in syria, the rise of i.s.i.l, et cetera. how do you think that that will impact any decision or any action taken by the israeli government now? >> i think this is a very important questions barbara. the israelis look out to see what is happening, civil wars in yemen and so on so fort, shooting on the spot and the likes of kind of orders blowing the families of people who are accused of terror and so on so forth all that is taking place in israel because israel thinks

that it can get away with a lot that it couldn't get away with before when it was under far more scrutiny. it does live in a region that is kind of chaotic and hence it feels that it needs to do what it needs to do and it doesn't matter what the world says, certainly the mess that is called the middle east they can do you know quite a lot. now the question is whether or not this is effective. because we've been seeing as you have said, the second int nad anintifadaand the second intifay remain fragile. they're still whine going their insecurity even though there are far more powerful in occupying power. and what scares them? it scares them young palestinians desperate doing whatever they need to do to find their liberty.

>> marwan bashara, thank you. police in the u.k. have announced they'll no longer stand guard outside the ecuadorn embassy where juliana san asangs held up. officers outside the embassy ever since but say the 24 hour protection is no longer necessary, there will be other covert tactics in order to arrest assange. atracking controversial, critics say it's trying to portray the south korean founder park chung-had hhe harry fawcett

identified conflicts with indigenous groups. most of them are because of land or because companies were working near indigenous territory. >> reporter: argentina has had a brutal history against indigenous communities during colonial times. millions were either murdered or enslaved. in modern times, lack of access to land have left most indigenous groups in extreme poverty. >> translator: the loss of territory lead to lack of food water and exclusion. the problem is there are more health care centers where doctors do not want to give service to indigenous groups because of discrimination. schools do not have teachers had speak both languages. >> reporter: danlt fernandezdz says this government has done what others have not. >> more than 10 million hectares
