mh-17, say ukraine should have closed its air space. and a special report from the world's most heavily guarded border which divided north and south korea. ♪ it has been another day of violence in israel and the occupied territories. at least three israels have been killed in two separate attacks in jerusalem. one palestinian man also lost his life. benjamin netenyahu is due to make a statement about the security situation to the parliament. mike hanna joins us from west jerusalem. mike, that statement coming after a security cabinet meeting. what are we hearing on the political front there in jerusalem? >> reporter: well, at this stage no details have emerged from that security cabinet meeting. benjamin netenyahu has been consulting his heads of police,

army, and intelligence services in terms of exploring ways in which the situation on the ground can be dealt with. in recent days there has been massive increase in the number of policemen deployed. large number of civilian officers have been called up to police duty bolstering the number of forces on the ground throughout the day. we have seen a massive increase in security in occupied east jerusalem, a number of people being stopped and searched by police. all of this follows a day of violence, yet another in the series of ongoing attacks. horror among morning commuters on their way to work. israeli police say two palestinians boarded this bus. at least one was armed with a weapon and opened fire. paramedics say israelis were

killed, a number injured, at least one in a critical condition. the city's major was quickly on the scene, the attack taking place a short distance away from his offices. one of the attackers was shot dead, the second injured, placed in handcuffs and taken to hospital for treatment. this followed an attack in west jerusalem. a palestinian drove his car into a bus station, and then leapt out and attempted to stab bystanders. one israeli was killed. the attacker was arrested. and another attack in the ren central israeli city. israeli police say it was knife attack, a palestinian arrested. the increase deployment of police seems to have had little success in stopping these attacks. the growing israeli perception

is that no place is safe. every corner is the scene of potential attack. and this time there are no organizers to arrest, no chain of command to cut. after pledging to parliament to deal effectively with the threat, the israeli prime minister has called an emergency meeting of his security cabinet. they are being consulted as to what can be done next. well, now benjamin netenyahu expected to make a statement in the coming hour about the resolutions that that came out of that security cabinet meeting. he has, as i said deployed large numbers of police, stepped up security in various areas, and still these attacks taking place particularly with the ferocity of what happened in jerusalem in the course of the day. >> thank you for that, mike.

palestinian-israelis have been holding a rally against the netenyahu government. andrew that rally that you were in front before -- not now -- but it looked like there was a significant number of people there. how significant is it in this current crisis? >> reporter: well, you are right, laura, there were thousands here packing this town square. they have now disbanded. they have been told by organizers please go home safely, do not engage in any way with police and army. this has intended to be a very peaceful event. it has been throughout of the joint list in the parliament, all 13 members, who were elected in the march elections were here, calling for more protests, but calling for a political,

peaceful solution to what is going on. we spoke to a number of these -- of these members of the parliament, and they did say -- they refused to condemn what was going on, but they did say something big has to happen to convince this israeli government -- that they are go no the wrong direction, and this occupation cannot continue in the way it has done so far. furthermore, there are some jewish politicians here and activists who have spoken to the crowds. right now everything is dispersing as i say, and there are no security forces, no police, no army in sight. they are some distance away, laura. >> yeah, it seems a lot more organized and under control than in other parts of israel. what is the mood like? is there a level of anger there? >> reporter: yes, there is.

but not in any way like in occupied east jerusalem or on the streets of west jerusalem, where that stay -- you know, i was there only a matter of hours ago when everything was going on in terms of attacks. the mood is just -- it's not been like it for a very, very long time. no one is sure what to do next. there is a mutual fear amongst everyone. that's jewish and palestinian. everyone is looking over their shoulder as to what might be an eventualalty. such as someone with a knife attack, or someone misreading ones gestures. many palestinians have told me if they go in their pocket in front of a policemen, what happens next? there are so many guns around, and 1500 extra border police. you have got many plain-clothed people with guns, and of course we have the israeli government

calling now for more relaxed controls on gun licenses for civilians. so the guns that are available to people, there -- well, you couldn't count them. there is a feeling of out right danger. but here you have passive protests right now. in that might change. we have yet to see what will happen in the surrounding areas. they have gone a long way, the organizers of this event, to try to keep things calm. it's the youth, the teenagers, those who are not prepared to listen to their elders. they want to go out and physically protest with violence. laura. >> andrew simmons live for us in northern israel. thanks for bringing us the screen from there, andrew. we have just been hearing benjamin netenyahu, the israeli prime minister speaking at the parliament, following a security cabinet meeting.

missile that is installed on the buk surface to air missile system. >> reporter: the cockpit is peppered with shots. the entire front section broke away. one thing the report does not answer is where the missile was fired from, and the burning question of who is responsible, but suspicions are rife. ukraine and some western leaders accuse pro-russian separatists of using a buk surface to air missile supplied by moscow. russia fiercely denies this. the producer that makes buk missiles presented a parallel report. en including this life-sized reconstruction that refutes the dutch findings. russia claims the type of missile only exists in ukraine's arsenal.

they also say the weapon was fired from ukrainian-held territory. for the families of those killed, it has been a desperate search for answers, including why the plane was allowed to fly over a war zone. the report calls on airplane companies to take more caution when flying over war zones, and suggests that ukraine should have closed its air space. the results of a criminal investigation are expected next year. neave barker, al jazeera. as neave mentioned, russia's state arms maker has refuted the findings of that dutch investigation. let's get more on that from rory challands. russia very keen to present its own findings before the dutch report came out. >> reporter: exactly. i mean, essentially what we heard from the russian arms maker today, the taker of the

buk missile system was a counter narrative, and it was a counter narrative as you say that came out before the dutch report. it was almost as if the russians and this company was -- was trying to kind of prepare the ground, really for what was going to come later in the day. i can expand a bit on what neave was saying in his earlier report. essentially what we heard were two arguments from this arms manufacturer. the first was that the missile that was launched -- and they admitted pretty much that it was a buk, came from an area that was not in control of the rebels in eastern ukraine at the time. now initial reports and various investigations have suggested that the missile was launched from a village in eastern ukraine. now they say that is not the

case. it was launched from a different village outside of the control of the rebels. the other claim they made was the type of buk missile was a version that is old, and because it is old, it is no longer in commission in the russian military. so by implication what essentially they were saying is that the rebels in the east of ukraine were not to blame, and the russian military was not to blame for supplying the rebels with something that apparently they didn't have. >> the dutch prime minister has also called on russia to cooperate in its criminal investigation. do you think it will? >> reporter: well, russia is saying that it has cooperated. it is saying that it has provided whatever material that was requested of it for the dutch safety board's investigation. and russia says that it will

very happily comply and cooperate with any investigation that goes forward providing -- and this is what they always say in these sorts of situations, providing that it is unbiased and it is unpolitical, and russia has said that the investigations that have taken place so far haven't been unbiased and they haven't been unpolitical. i can read a quote from the deputy russian foreign minister, sergei lavrov who was speaking after the dutch investigation was released today. he said it is obviously it is an attempt to fulfill a political order, an attempt to draw biased conclusions, and that is quite likely what russia will continue to say about any investigation it doesn't have control in. >> rory challands thank you for that. still to come here on the program. grim details on the humanitarian

situation in yemen, the number of children at risk of acute malnutrition has trimmed. and we look at the unexpected rise to political stardom in the u.s. plus in sport, a shot for roger federer at the shanghai masters. more on the that later in the program. ♪ afghan forces are battling the taliban in several areas, two weeks after fighters captured kunduz for three days. both sides have exchanged fire. many people living in the area are trying to leave. the taliban has also blocked the main highway. jennifer glass has more. >> reporter: the taliban are now fighting on two areas on the main highway that links afghanistan's major cities. they control two parts of

moderate rebels to fight isil. one of the authors of the report says the u.s. has now launched an investigation into the finding. >> it's forcibly displacing a civilian population is a war crime when there is mo military imperative reason to do so. destroying civilian property is also a war crime. what we saw is that while arab and turkmen residents were primarily bearing the brunth of these policies, that some kurdish residents were also being forced to leave. we do not believe this is a case of ethnic cleansing. we are very concerned that the ypg is using u.s. support to perpetrate rights abuse, and we are calling on the u.s. and other coalition states to condemn these unlawful practices and to ensure that any future assistance is not being misused to violate the rights of civilians in areas under the control of the ypg. the residents we spoke to believe in many cases the acts

of displacement and demolitions were in retaliation for us is -- suspicion that these were supporting other groups. but that was not born out. and these individuals did not have a chance to defend themselves. instead they were forced to leave their homes, and instead in some cases their homes, everything they owned was completely destroyed. unreceive -- unicef says the number of children suffering from malnutrition in yemen has tripled since the war began. hashem ahelbarra has more. >> reporter: mia is one of many children in yemen who's lives are at risk. she suffers from malnutrition and needs immediate treatment. her mother traveled a long distance to get to this hospital

ministers in the government, then the answer is yes, they are sup poring them and saying they want the situation to be changed. if you are speaking about the prime minister, though, and a formal government decision, then the answer is no. there has been no decision by the government and the prime minister has stated on several times that he can committed to the status quo. >> events since then have spiralled almost out of control. we just heard benjamin netenyahu speaking at the parliament saying they will use all means to end palestinian violence. what do you think he means by that? what are all means? >> reporter: i -- the sad thing is, is that the rhetoric is just getting more and more aggressive in the -- and it's not doing any good. how -- how can this kind of

violence teenagers, young children going out and knifing people today also shooting, how in the world can you stop it by force in the problem here is to understand first to address the situation where there's occupation. the conflict is continuing. palestinians are living under occupation, and unfortunately it is becoming more and more a religious conflict with the temple mount, the al aqsa compound becoming the sen transhot spot. >> what do you think needs to be done to stem the violence? >> right. so what is certain is that if we look at the chain of events, it all began in the -- in the temple mount, for us -- for jews it's the temple mount, for muslims it's the al aqsa compound. it began there with israel

setting severe limitation on access to worshippers, and the reason israel gave was security reasons, but for the palestinians and muslims, they understanding it as a means to take hold of their holy place. and this happened last year, exactly in the same manner, in the same time, around the jewish new year, and what luckily happened last year is that after many clashes, israel -- the israeli government just decided to step back, to allow muslim worshippers to have free access as it should be in my opinion, and then the situation quickly calmed down. unfortunately in this round, it looks like things have gotten out of control. it is still certain that the government must stop the restrictions on -- of access, but -- it doesn't look

australia's government brought in a new law that threatened prison sentences of up to two years towards anyone that disclosed anything that went on inside a camp. and that has had a pretty chilling effect as you can imagine. people don't want to come through with allegations of abuse if they fear they will be reported. now anybody giving evidence would in theory be protected by parliamentary privilege, many will have immunity from prosecution under this law. the hope is it will encourage whistleblowers to continue to report any abuse they find going on in these centers. in bangladesh an estimated 53,000 children die from malnutrition, related complications every year. as our correspondent reports, researchers have come up with an unconventional way to combat malnutrition. >> reporter: 13 month old should weigh between 8 and 12
