♪ more bloodshed in israel and the palestinian territories, now the israeli prime minister vows to use all means available to end the violence. ♪ hello there, i'm barbara sarah, this is al jazeera live from london. also coming up in the next 30 minutes. the mh-17 plane crash report. investigators find it was downed by a missile, and questioned why ukrainian air space wasn't closed. the war in yemen has tripled the number of children at risk

of starvation. plus -- the uganda film director making blockbuster movies with a $200 budget. ♪ hello there. thank you for joining us. it has been another day of bloodshed in israel and the palestinian territories. at least three israelis were killed during two september attacks in jerusalem. they are the latest victims in a wave of violence. 29 palestinians and 7 israelis have been killed since the beginning of october. the unrest was sparked over the unrest over the al aqsa mosque compound. many palestinians believe jewish people are giving more rights to visit there and could be given

the right to pray there. mike hanna reports from west jerusalem. >> reporter: horror among morning commuters. the attack on the train line. israel police say two palestinians boarded this bus, at least one was armed with a weapon and opened fire. israels were killed and a number injured, at least one in a critical condition. the city's israeli 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 was injured, placed in handcuffs and taken to hospital for treatment. this followed an attack in a nearby suburb of west jerusalem. israeli police say a palestinian drove his car into a bus station and then leapt out and attempted to stab bystanders, another israeli killed. the attacker was arrested. and earlier a bus station was

again the target of an attack in the central israeli city of ramallah, a number of israelis were likely wounded in what israeli police say was a knife attack. the increased deployment of police appears to have had little auk -- sucks is in stopping these random attacks. unlike previous surges of palestinian resistance, this time there are no organizers to arrest, no chain of command to cut. after pledging to parliament to deal with the threat, the israeli prime minister has called an emergency meeting of his security cabinet. army police and intelligence chiefs are being consulted as to what can be done next. al jazeera's andrew simmons is in northern israel and joins us life now. there was a demonstration where

you are now. tell us about how the day unfolded. >> reporter: well, a very, very stark contrast, the sort of scenes you were witnessing in mike hanna's report here, quite a few people here, thousands of them massing into the tenter of this large town, 25,000 population, and they are palestinian-israelis here, they are citizens. they are voters. they have representation in the israeli parliament, 13 members in the united list of -- this is the united list of palestinian representatives of the people. they were here, and they were talking about the need for so many changes in the way the government is acting, the occupation, the resistance. this was a very big, really strong assertion that change has to come.

and so it -- it effectively was quite symbolic, because this town has figured throughout the history of resistance in palestinian terms and these people have said that they want a peaceful end to what is going on, which is in stark contrast to the sort of ghastly scenes people have been witnessing in jerusalem. barbara? >> and andrew, we have heard from the israeli government saying that they will use any means available to try to stop the violence that's ongoing. what reaction has there been to that, from the people you have been speaking to today. >> well, really, a controlled anger. an anger that was more verbal than with action. the organizers of this very large protest have made absolutely sure that there was no forms of violence, even on the outer edges of the

demonstration on the long march to this location. they want, as i say, a peaceful means of trying to resolve things, but the attacks were all in the direction of the prime minister netenyahu, simply because they say the people here have said that the more he asserts more control and security, the less likelihood there is of resolving any of the major issues involved. as mike hanna was reporting, it appears that the more police that pour into jerusalem, there is still no control on these random attacks. so it would appear that these will go on. no one is sure how they are going to end. is there control, is there organization going on? if there is, it's only in the odd location. it would appear that there is a level of frustration and violence that very few people have seen before in this sort of loan wolf style of attack, and

it's also at issue here in that it was a controlled demonstration to some extent with the cooperation of the israeli police and army, because they pulled back so there was no risk of confrontation. now this was very much a litmus test, a barometer of political support for resistance to the occupation. i would say politically, support for resistance. as for support for the violence, that's questionable. i would say with some of the people here, yes, they support the violence, with others they would be on the fence, but they certainly weren't going to say publicly that they were condemning it. barbara? >> andrew thank you. ♪ dutch investigators say the air space where malaysian airlines jet was shot down last year over eastern ukraine should have been closed to civil

aviation. the dutch safety board has released its long-awaited report into the crash in front of a partially reconstructed section of the jet. it concluded that the mh-17 was hit by a russian-made buk mu buk -- missile. it doesn't say who was responsible for bringing the plane down. and investigators couldn't rult the possibility that some passengers remained conscious during the 90 seconds that it took for the plane this crash. >> reporter: in a dutch military hangar lies the broken shell of flight mh-17. 298 died on board of this aircraft. it's a grim puzzle that has helped dutch investigators peace together their final technical

report about the flight's last moments. >> flight mh-17 crashed because of a warhead. this warhead fits the kind of missile installed on the buk surface to air missile system. >> reporter: the cockpit is peppered by shrapnel from the warhead that exploded on the left side. the entire front section then 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. moscow fiercely denies this. they presented a counter report. including this life sized

reconstruction that refutes the dutch findings. russia claims the type of missile used only exists this 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 airline companies to take more precautions when flying over conflict areas, and suggests ukraine should have closed its air space. we know why it crashed, but we don't know who is to blame, the results of a criminal investigation are expected next year, evidence that could lead to charges of war crimes and murder. >> neave joins us live now from the where the findings were made. there have been different narratives as to who was responsible for this event. but tell us more about the finding about the air space

being opened. because we have all known for a long time that there were tennings over eastern ukraine, and i guess a lot of people wouldn't have known that there was the option to fly over ukraine. >> reporter: that's right. as well as the key finding of what brought down the plane is the key question asked about why it was flying over the war zone in the first place. there are 160 civilian aircraft flying over the area at the time. it was seen as a very regular route for this airline, an ordinary route between amsterdam and kuala lumpur. it had been used many times before, and was planned for there to be many more flights after mh-17 as well. we do know in the days running up to the disaster, that several

ukrainian military aircraft had been taken down by pro-russian separatists in eastern ukraine. so it was common knowledge that serious weaponry has been used. but still that doesn't seem to have filtered down to civilian aircraft as well. according to investigators who have been very critical of ukraine in all of this, perhaps the air space should have been closed, but investigators have also asked serious questions of the airline too, perhaps they should have taken a more cautionary stance when playing their root. what we do know is what happened at mr-17 has had a knock-on effect for aviation planning around the world as well, particularly when it comes to syria. of course all of this is cold comfort for the families of those people who died on mh-17. >> neave barker live for us from

at least three israelis have been killed in two separate attacks. andrew simmons in is northern israel, where palestinian israelis were protesting against the violence. >> reporter: this town has figured throughout the history of resistance in palestinian terms. and these people have said they want a peaceful end to what is going on, which is in stark contrast to the ghastly scenes people have been witnessing in jerusalem. and a dutch safety board investigation into mh-17 has concluded that the plane was hit by a russian-made buk missile, causing it to break up in air, killing all 298 on board. the united nations military has confirmed that russian military jets came within visual

contact. let's speak to rosiland jordan in washington, d.c. ros, since russia started its aerial operation in syria, really there has been a threat of a potential, i guess collision or some kind of impact between the u.s. action, anti-isil action there, and these russian ones. how worried is the u.s.? >> reporter: the u.s. is very concerned about this development that happened over the weekend, and a pentagon spokesperson says that while the incident didn't lead to any sort of collision, he did stress that this is all the more reason why the u.s. and russia need to establish some rules of the road as it were, or try to have a formal de-confliction profess. they have had a second round of communications on saturday. we don't know whether that was before or after the russians and the americans saw each other in

syrian air space, but the spokesperson did stress this is all the more reason why there needs to be clarity and very quickly so that there isn't some sort of collision between the two forces that are both going after, they say, isil forces inside syria. >> and of course the aim of many of these air strikes to facility the armies on the ground. we have just heard the iraqi army is preparing to make another advance towards isil in the city of ramadi. what else do we know about how the americans feel that the advance against isil is going? >> reporter: well, basically the same military spokesperson who briefed reporters in the past hour said that while their preparations are pretty much ready to try to retake ramadi from isil fighters, he couldn't indicate when that was going to happen, but he did say that iraqi security forces, ground troops are about 15 kilometers

outside of the city center, and he also noted that some of the iraqi military fighter jets, which the u.s. finally provided to them earlier this year, f-16s, have been taking part in some of the softening up, making the way clear for iraqi ground forces to move ahead. now whenever this effort to try to retake ramadi gets underway, coalition fighter jets will be there to provide air support for the ground forces. again, we don't know when they are going to launch the assault on ramadi. they say is there are about a thousand isil fighters basically dug in, inside the city, and they have mine fields, and ied's laid to try to stop the iraqi military, but the u.s. feels like everything is pretty much a go to try to retake ramadi.

>> rosiland jordan life for us in washington, d.c. thank you. amnesty international is accusing kurdish forces of carrying out war crimes against civilians in syria. the ypg is a key ally of the u.s.-lead coalition against the islamic state of iraq and the levant. amnesty international says the military wing of the ypg has been carrying out a wave of attacks on civilians caught in the middle of the fight against isil. the u.n.'s children's charity has warned that the number of malnourished children in yemen has tripled since the war began in march. unicef says more than a half a million children under five are suffering from an acute shortage of food. 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 in the capitol sana'a.

mohammed faces complications from months of chronic malnutrition. >> translator: my child is sick. he had one surgery, which cost $2,000. now the doctor says he needs another. all of this caused by mall snu tradition. we are very poor. my husband had to borrow the money for the first surgery. >> reporter: the level of malnutrition in yemen is among the highest in the world. the situation is made worse by the conflict. aid agencies say if it continues many children are die. >> the situation is terrible. now after six months of conflict, we have half a million children who are severely and acutely malnourished. and at the same time last year, we had less than 160,000 children. so it has gotten three times worse. >> reporter: this hospital in sana'a was targeted many times.

doctors here fear they may have to relocate to a temporary clinic. other hospitals are overwhelmed with the growing number of casualties. putting thousands of malnourished children at further risk of death. hashem ahelbarra, al jazeera. the afghan city is on edge after four people were killed in a series of rocket attacks. taliban fighters attempted to storm the city on monday. it's just 120 kilometers from the capitol kabul. the border between north and south korea is the world's most heavily fortified national boundary, running 250 kilometers across and four kilometers wide, the so-called demilitarized zone is the site of a huge military standoff. the south korean military has now given foreign media access to the southern side of the border. harry fawcett has been there. >> reporter: we're here just a

few kilometers sport of the dnz on the southern side. this is a routine training session going on with soldiers. they are simulating coming under attack by north korean fire and repelling that fire. we're told this is routine training. it's something that they do every day before they would go in. but at the moment, just over two months since the double land mine blast on the southern side of the dnz which the south koreans are glam blaming on the north, all of this has been taken seriously. >> translator: the area the accident happened isn't far away from here. we're being more cautious. all units in this area are in a state of increased readiness. >> this fence represents the southern side. this is the south korean main defensive position on the southern side of that zone. the situation has changed a great deal since those land mine

blast just over two months ago. there was heightened tensions surrounding that which came to a deal signed between the north and south. we have seen a major military parade in north korea, but no long-range rockets fired. and also the prospect of a family reunion event next week between separates families. so the situation has improved between north and south, but still people here remain on a hiented state of alert. let's go to the u.s. now where the first of six presidential democratic debates will get underway tonight in las vegas. patty culhane reports. >> reporter: you just wouldn't look at bernie sanders and think political rock star. he doesn't come across as overly groomed. he is far from young and hip.

but he is drawing the biggest, most enthusiastic crowds on the democratic side of the race. >> they are sick and tired of establishment politics! >> reporter: his politics, often describes as socialist, he is blunt, and unlike every past presidential candidate, he refuses to run negative campaign ads, and it seems to be working. ing on the campus of gorge continue to university, his support is pretty easy to spot. these supporters say they don't just like him. they love his policies, promising to raise the minimum wage, abolish mass incarceration, and tax reform. he is promising to make college free for everyone, by taxing wall street. this organizer says stupths were excited for president barack obama, but like this. >> the takeup was really fast and merged organically and it

has been really tense as well. >> reporter: and sanders is coming close to clinton on fund-raising. she raised $28 million last quarter. he raised almost $26 million, and his cash is mostly coming from small donors, another selling point for these students. >> i think that bernie is doing a really good job of bringing attention to like the working class and the people who don't necessarily have the same voice and poll in national politics. >> reporter: but analysts are skeptical this enthusiasm will last. >> it's really unlikely that he wins. he is far to the left of the average democrat, and when you look at electability and eventually a lot of democrats are going to look at the question of who is going to win a general election matchup, they are really going to start to question bernie sander's credentials. >> is nothing, nothing that together we cannot accomplish!
