decorations but the outlook of business is less than festive. the israeli government has unveiled tougher security measures to tackle a wave of unrest in israel and the p palestinian territories. security forces have been deployed throughout the public transport network and military units will help police cities. since the start of october, 30 palestinians and seven israelis have died in the unrest. earlier, thousands of pal t palestinian israelis have held a protest regarding visits to the a al come /* mosque compound. let's take a closer look at the new security measures put in place by the israeli government. the government called up reservists to help police
1:02 am
cities. security forces have been deployed. police have new authority to impose block aides in palestinian neighborhoods. they can have their right to live in the city revoked and property confiscated. the government has authorized demolition of houses belonging to those responsible for attacks. let's go to our correspondent, mike hanna joining us live from west jerusalem. good morning, mike. what is the situation there this morning? >> reporter: well, at the moment, there is an area, atmosphere of uneasy calm. one might put it like that. east jerusalem, itself, is very, very tension. there is a huge amount of police presence in the area, no neighborhoods have been sealed off as yet. however, once again, extremely tense situation. now, the most significant of
1:03 am
these new measures announced is deployment into israeli cities. this is virtually unprecedented measure putting the army alongside the police in the cities and in what are termed sensitive areas. the exact phrasing of the closedush of certain east jerusalem suburbs is important. it says the israel police is authorized to impose a closure to surround septembers of friction in accordance with security considerations. basically, they have given themselves the authority to be able to seal off specific neighborhoods of east jerusalem. this, in itself, is going to be a point of major friction in the days ahead. >> well, how will these increased security measures, militarization, mike, of an already tense situation, how is that likely to be received?
1:04 am
>> reporter: well, it's very difficult to judge. one must remember as well that prior to these security regulations, there had already been some 2000 police reservists called up. these are civilians who serve in a reserve capacity. they have been employed in recent days by government order. so you have already had a massive bolstering of police forces on the ground. now, what you have is a massive bolstering of those bolstered police forces with army units on the ground. this is an incredible intensefication. whether this is going to deal with random attacks we have been seeing. increased measures had not dealt with it as evidenced by the wave of attacks that once again occurred within the past 24 hours, particularly within jerusalem, itself. so once again, the critics of benjamin netanyahu are going to be saying he is not dealing with the caused. he is attempting to actually manage a solution and this type
1:05 am
of management may, in itself, actually make the situation even worse. >> mike, thank you very much for that. that's our correspondent, mike hanna joining us live from west jerusalem. thank you, mike. the u.s. has denounced the latest violence. secretary of state john kerry said he will travel to the region soon to try to help resolve the crosses. >> the united states condemns in the strongest terms possible the terrorist attacks against israeli civilians. and they have resulted in the murder now of three israelis and left numerous others wounded, and this is on top of violence that has gone back and forth over a number of weeks now. naturally, we mourn the loss of any life no matter who it is. but this violence and any incitement to violence has got to stop. the situation is simply too volatile, too dangerous, and it is not going to lead to the
1:06 am
outcome that people want, which is to have a peaceful resolution of the differences. to other news. dutch investigators released their final report into the downing of malaysian airline mh-17. they claim it had been hit by a russian missile. all 298 people on board died. the report said that ukraine should have closed its airspace but pointed out airlines flying over eastern ukraine should have rec fri recognized dangers. investigators recommended more transparency. from the air base in the netherlands. >> reporter: in a dutch military hangar lies the broken shell of flight mh-17. 298 people died on board this aircraft, shot down over the war zone in eastern ukraine. it's a grim puzzle that has helped dutch investigators piece
1:07 am
together their report about the flight's last moment. >> flight mh-17 crashed because of a 9 m 314 m bore head. this war head fits the kind of missile that is instyled on the surface to air and missile system. >> the cockpit is peppered by slapnal on the left-hand side of mh-17. the entire fronts section broke away in midair. it would have been a defendant quick death for those piloting this plane. 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 al surface to air missile supplied by moscow. russia fiercely denies this. the state articles producer that makes book misses presented a parallel report including this
1:08 am
life-size reconstruction that refutes the dutch findings. russia claims the type of missile used to shoot down mh-17 only exists in ukraine's arsenal. they say the weapon was fired from ukrainian-held territory. for the families of those killed, it's been a defendant 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 airspace. we know where and why mh seventeen crashed but we don't know who is to blame. the results of an international criminal investigation are expected next year. evidence that could lead to charges of war crimes and murder. neep barca in the netherlands. >> countries like australia accuse russia of causing the crash and said her government will continues to pursue justice for those killed. >> we won't be bullied by
1:09 am
anyone. we will continue to pursue ju justice for the families and the loved ones of those aboard mh-17. we mustn't forget that russia backed the original security council resolution number 2166, which called for an independent international investigation. that's precisely what has been carried out. russia did block the setting up of an international criminal tribunal which we sought last july. part of its concern was said to be the timing of it. once these investigations and reports are concluded, they will no longer have that arm of opinion zopposition to rely upo. >> to the u.s. where the two leading typically democratic candidates have crashed in the first debate. hillary clinton and bernie sanders discuss u.s. involvement in the middle east, gun control and comic policy. taking part of the .2 former marylandgom governor martin o'malley and jim web and rhode
1:10 am
island's lincoln schaffey. >> i believe a no-fly zone in syria at this time actually sec, secretary, would be a mistake. you have to enforce no-fly zones, and i believe especially with the russian air force in the air, it could lead to an escalation because of an accident that we would deeply regret. i support president obama. i think we have to play a long game, and i think ultimately, you want to talk about blundzers, assad's invation of syria will be seen as a blunder. >> we are flying in syria just as we are flying in iraq. the president has made a very tough decision. what i believe and why i have advocated that the no-fly zone -- which of course would be in a coalition -- be put on the table is because i am trying to figure out what leverage we have to get russia to the table. you know, diploacy is not about getting to the perfect solution. it's about how you balance the risk. >> thank you. white house correspondent patty colhane has more from las
1:11 am
vegas. >> the very first debate among the democratic potential candidates for president now in the books, here, trying to spin reporters saying theircan data, of course, won the debate. one of the big areas where the candidates die virginia when it comes to foreign policy is on syria. we saw the former secretary of state hillary clinton try to tie herself to some of the foreign policy successes of the obama administration but she disagreed with him on syria. she said there needs to be a no-fly zone instituted within the country so that the refugees would not have to flee to other countries. the other two contenders in this race, former governor of maryland and bernie sanders said that would be dang rusz, sanders calling syria a quagmire within a quagmire. a few issues where they disagreed but in the end, this probably doesn't exchange the frontrunner status but seems likely the two of the lower tier candidates will probably have to drop out after a pretty poor debate performances.

workshop are struggling to remain competitive. all of the time when the economy has already slowed to its lowest level in 25 years. while this is very much the face of made-in-china but it's the face the chinese government wants to slowly phase out. it wants to end this sort of low-end manufacturing focusing, instead, on high-tech industries like green energy and robotics. it could mean a painful transition for this city. chi kin lian represents 2 he on 0 of its manufacturers. >> the government calls for us to use more advanced technology. other things have to be made by hand. >> the writing is on the wall in other ways here this cluster of drewedly made adverts or for apartments for sale or rent. priepsz negotiable. >> there are so many empty

1:24 am
emerging alpha advisors a country that focuses on asian markets. good to have you with us on,as. economists seem divided in their interpretation of the latest economy data imports now for the 11th month. exports falling sharply. how do you think the economy is doing? >> well, the data at either end of the curve or the trend line is quite messy. i would advise we are probably near the bottom but not there yet and have a lot of bumps to go. the problem is that as each country adjust manufacturing or export policies, the other is on the import side change as well so it's a never-ending game. we may think we are at the bottom but it could go a bit further. one of the big questions in all of this is: who is going to lend the money to buy more stuff and for what purpose? i think the general problem we face globally is that we are in the last part of a general deleveraging of the global credit system in which excess credit which basically fuels
1:25 am
speculation certainly 10 years ago is being squeezed out and that adjustment process is slow and painful. in china, as the worldses biggest manufacturer of many goods is feeling the pan pain perhaps more than many have but i think it's gotten through most of the pain. >> we have seen the slowdown, the effect it's having on the international landscape. what about the effect it's having on the chinese population? >> well, the biggest transformations in china has been the migration from the smaller towns to the large cities where the fact odors are. particularly from the west to the east. the very fact that labor costs arising or have been for over five or six years at significant levels is an education that migration has drained out all of the easy, mobile and quickly talented labor. now, of course, educational investments have been boost that supply but even still, the migration is partly complete. i mean china has moved from being mostly a rural country to mostly urban. maybe another decade, it will be
1:26 am
highly urbanized as much as western europe. the question is: how much more migration can go on? right now, that cost of migration provides more growth to poor areas but it's also meaning there is more consumption in the cities. i think the chinese, themselves are in for a shock if it's at the high end. >> emerging alva advisors joining us from man ill a, thank you very much for your time. jamac an jane has won the the 2015 man booker prize for fiction. judges describe his novel a brief history of 7 killings inspired by the attempted assassination of musical legend bob material in the 1970 did. james was the first jamaican to win the prize. >> i would be happy. it's really affirming and when
