the gaza strip and firing rubber coated steel bullets and tear gas at protesters there and we are in the occupied west bank and mike hanna is in west jerusalem for us and mike let's start with you and bring us up to speed with the incident of the bus and the earlier vehicle attack. >> reporter: well, these attacks in jerusalem show a degree of linkage and in the past they have been haphazard and no sign of organization and the only common thread they were carried out by palestinianen as than which carried out by three palestinians from the same neighborhood of occupied east jerusal jerusalem, obviously intelligence, israeli intelligence looking at whether there was connection between these two attacks, the bus station attack occurring on the seem line between west jerusalem
6:03 am
and the occupied east. the earlier attack in which an israeli was also killed taking place in a neighborhood of west jerusalem. now there according to the police a palestinian drove his vehicle in a bus station and went out of a car and started attacking bystanders with knives. as you mentioned a security cabinet meeting has been called in coming hours, benjamin netanyahu also consulting with his police army and intelligence chiefs to find out what more can be done to deal with what is an ever escalating series of apparently random attacks. >> you talk about the fact by looking into possible linkage mike and up until now they appear to be random attacks and the security cabinet meeting, israel has already tightened security and it's difficult to see what else can be done to prevent apparently random attac
6:04 am
attacks. >> reporter: well, indeed, yes, from the very beginning of the series of attacks israeli intelligence and israeli police have been saying they are very difficult to deal with and have characterized them as what they call lone wolf attacks, there is no organizational structure to them, there is no chain of command to cut, so it has been very clear from the beginning this is something difficult to deal with whachlt the israeli government has done is issued an unprecedented call out of reservist police, some one and a half thousand people initially called up and now we understand could be another 500 and are civilians in the police reserve and have been called out and put on the streets of israel cities concentrating of course on west jerusalem, trying to prop up the police presence on every street corner, every bus station because every street corner and every bus station is a scene of potential attack so the actual psychological impact on israeli
6:05 am
society cannot be under estimated, the feeling is becoming increasingly prevalent that no place is safe. >> mike many thanks, mike hanna in west jerusalem protests underway in the west bank and pictures in just a minute and we are live there and tear gas is being fired i understand which is affecting you just to tell our viewers what is going on there, what you are experiencing when you are telling us about events there. >> reporter: well, a small group of protesters have arrived here at the check point about 100 meters away from here and israeli soldiers walked toward them and fired tear gas to keep them as far as possible from this check point. now there was earlier a gathering outside the columbia refugee camp and that gathering was called by all the palestinian political factions and we don't know if any of the
6:06 am
leadership of those factions is attending. from what we understand there is only low-level representations in those marches but they are all supposed to come here and around in general around the occupied west bank there are other marches and protests going on in hebron by the islamic university there and heard about bethlehem and fatah have called for a protest to go there to the check point there which is at the foot of is separation wall on the refugee camp. the atmosphere is much more charged than the past days simply because another video appeared on social media with the little boy gasping on the floor while being quite intimated by the people around him. that has really risen the level of anger among many palestinians here and we have also heard that schools want to march in protest of what happened there even though we are hearing that might
6:07 am
happen tomorrow and that anywhich the children would not be brought to these flash points. >> we will let you go and i know it's pretty difficult to breathe where you are and many thanks there. now afghan forces are battling the taliban in several areas two weeks after fighters captured kunduz for three days and exchanged fire in the gazni city and the taliban blocked the main highway between the capitol kabul and the southern city of kandahar and we will go live the kabul and jennifer glasse is there and will bring us up to speed and taliban still seems to be on the offensive here. >> that's right, there is fighting right now going on in zobul province on highway one, the crucial highway that links all of afghanistan's cities and we understand they are fighting in three areas of the province along the highway there and the taliban have taken a number of checkpoints there just a little bit north of there in gazni
6:08 am
fighting has been going on more than 24 hours as taliban blocked the road and the fighting continuing between afghan security forces and taliban and we understand the taliban have blown up six areas of the highway and lined the highways with explosives making travel dangerous and repelled an assault on gazni city and people there are nervous there and a lot of shops are closed and residents have fled the city concerned the taliban might try to launch an offensive and apparently did that monday night trying from three different areas to launch offensive by afghan sources say they repelled those attacks and are still in control of the city right now and residents very concerned and the feeling is very tense there. >> gennifer glass in kabul. dutch investigators due to
6:09 am
publish their final report of may la shay -- malaysia airlines and all 298 people died in the crash, the report should answer some questions like why the plane was taking that route but it does not include finding out who was to blame and lee barker reports. >> reporter: it was meant to have been a routine flight between amsterdam and kuala-lumpa flying high above the fighting in eastern ukraine but for the passengers of mh 17 this is where their lives ended, 298 people were killed including 15 crew, most of them were dutch. >> so many questions at this moment. >> reporter: dennis is among hundreds of family members desperate for answers. his brother in law donnie was killed, he was on his way to the far east on holiday. >> we have lost so many lives and of course a lot of families
6:10 am
have not been the same any more. all families have changed and that's something that will stay forever. >> reporter: soon after the disaster the netherlands ordered an investigation, an early report concluded the plane broke up in mid air after being hit by high energy objects and didn't explicitly say it was brought down by a missile but ruled out virtually everything else and ukraine and leaders accuse p proseparatists by moscow and deny it blaming the ukrainian military instead and the report to be announced at the dutch air base will focus on four key areas the under lying causes of the crash, what the last moments were like for those on board, were they conscious or not and why the families of dutch
6:11 am
victims had to wait two days before receiving any confirmation their loved ones were on board and the report will try to answer why mh 17 made the fateful decision to fly over a war zone. >> in the weeks leading up to the shoot down of the malaysia 17 there had been military planes shot down at greater altitudes and there was already an indicate that sophisticated weaponry was in the conflict zone. >> reporter: one thing the report will not answer is the burning question of who is responsible. a separate criminal investigation led by dutch detectives will report its findings at the end of the year, evidence that could lead to charges of war crimes and murder. we know where the plane crashed and investigators are about to reveal their final thoughts on why but we don't know yet who beyond reasonable doubt is to blame, lee barker, al jazeera, southern netherlands.
6:12 am
russia says its own research contradicts the preliminary results of that dutch report we are waiting for and we have revealed its findings after conducting several experiments and says it was shot down by a district controlled by the ukrainian government and dutch investigators had access to the wreckage of the aircraft and what has this russian team based their findings? >> well, it was a fairly long press conference in the center of moscow, the maker of the boot system which obviously forms a center investigation into the downing of mh 17, it was heavy on the technical side of things, heavy on information but what it provided really was a counter narrative to the one contained in the dutch report and a
6:13 am
narrative that by implication shifts the blame away from russia and away from the eastern ukrainian rebels that russia has supported. what especially they did was a number of experiments, a number of tests, they even blew up a plane to look at splatter patterns, of different shrapnel configurations and what it boils down to are key two assertions, one is that the launch site of the missile was not where many people in the west believe the missile was launched from and also an area that was controlled by the rebels. now they say that it was a different place that was probably not controlled by the rebels, probably controlled by the ukrainian military, that is contested by other people but that is what he says. the other assertion they make is
6:14 am
that the missile that brought the plane down was not the most modern version of it, the one that russia supposedly uses but an older version that the russians say has been decommissioned by the russian military. >> how credible this is report, rory? >> well, that is difficult to say. it's a lot of grass, it's a lot of photos and holes and different patterns of shrapnel and things like that, it's a very difficult body of evidence if you want to call it that to get to the bottom of -- from this point of view, from this perspective. you need a lot of expertise to be able to analyze that. but essentially what we are saying here, the company is saying this, they gave this press conference because they feel they have been unfairly hit
6:15 am
by sanctions because of the connection of the boot missile system to the downing of mh 17 and they want to essentially prove their innocence in a way, they want to say that it's not up to them, it's not up to the russian government. now, there were various questions asked in this press conference but we were told at the beginning of it any questions that were political in nature, that deviated from the technical competency of the company itself would not be answered. but there was one question that was asked by a journalist here which was why does russia keep on changing the narrative here, why did the story keep on shifting and the answer is quite interesting, the man says the story shifts because russia likes to look at all the different possibilities and only through doing that can be objective answer can be reached. >> rory challenge reporting live there from moscow. still to come here on the news

6:20 am
vegetables move through here every year and means a huge amount of wasted food and estimated 800 tons daily and the government and civil organizations agree that is a problem which is why ngo food for everyone is trying to make sure that access gets to those who need it most and set up food banks just outside the market. >> every morning we go to the city wholesale market to get food, vegetables and fruit because there are a lot of poverty in mexico and people who need it in schools, communities. not just a mega waste problem and 20 million people suffer from hunger and bat diet with staggering amounts of produce in the bin and a third of the food goes to waste and that is 30 million kilos and part of that food could get to those in need then no one in mexico would go hungry. right now mexico rescued only 2% of wasted food, ngos say it
6:21 am
could do much more especially if the huge farms that supply u.s. and mexican supermarkets reduced instead of dumping. >> it's productive and have a huge opportunity to go to the countryside and bring this excellent food to their food banks and from there and deliver it to their people which is in need. >> reporter: the roads and more specialized transport are needed to do that and tax breaks to encourage firms to donate, the government has not got there yet but slowly coming to food rescue and plowing money nationwide and opening their own food bank of their own in the wholesale market. >> translator: definitely the country is changing and seeing vulnerable groups need support in solidarity headed up by the government and civil society. >> reporter: in practical terms that means three square meals a day for these children and one of the schools benefitting from

6:25 am
de-militarized part of the zone and the situation has changed since the land mine blast and there were tensions that came to an end temporarily with a deal between the north and south to the end of august and since then we have seen a major military parade but no long range rocket launches and no provocation on that and no prospects of a family reunion event with separated families between north and south korea and the situation has improved between north and south but people here remain on heightened state of alert. to the u.s. where the first of six presidential candidate debates will get underway in las vegas on tuesday, former secretary of state hillary clinton is facing tougher than expected competition from senator bernie sanders and white house correspondent patty culhane has been taking a look

6:32 am
come to that conclusion. >> amnesty international's latest report is based on onsite investigations in northern syria in july and august of this year and while in syria we visited towns and villages under the control of the pyd led autonomy administration and a key ally against syria and in the villages we saw mostly civilians had been forcibly displaced from their homes and in some cases villages were entirely demolished. >> and forcibly displacing, is that war cleansing? >> that is a war crime when there is no military, imperative reason to do so and destroying

assistance is not misused to violate civilians under the ypg. >> how many people are affected and if it's not ethic cleansing what is behind this practice? >> we know that thousands of people are being affected. these are just in the villages and towns we were about to visit and document the abuse, the residents that we spoke to believe that in many cases the acts of displacement and the demolitions were in retaliation for suspicions that these individuals were supporting i.s.i.s. or supporting other non-state armed groups but those suspicions were not actually born out, in fact. there was not evidence and these individuals did not have a chance to defend themselves, instead they were forced to leave their homes and instead in some cases in their homes everything they owned was completely destroyed. >> many thanks indeed for being
