meets with his south korean counterpart. ♪ this is al jazeera america live from new york city. i'm adam may. est ka violence in israel and the palestinian territories today. israeli soldiers shot dead a palestinian man allegedly involved in a knife attack in hebron. at least four other palestinians have been killed in the occupied territories today, and more protests are underway right now. hamas is calling for palestinians to join in what has been called a day of rage. andrew simmons files this report there jerusalem. >> reporter: after friday prayers and a week of violence and fear, there was anger on the streets again. hamas had called for a day of rage, and some of the worst violence was in gaza.

shootings by the security security forces and some dead, because they tried to get through the fence around the border area. the israeli security forces ordered to use live rounds in that area, and in the occupied west bank there was also another dead at hebron, where a man disguised as a journalist with press emblazoned on his t-shirt is alleged to have knifed a soldier. the soldier was moderately injured according to police, and then the police opened fire on the man and he was shot death. really it has to be said that there is no real sign of any calming in the occupied west bank or indeed gaza, and in occupied east jerusalem at the al aqsa mosque compound it was calm, but very tense indeed after people rived there having gone through numerous check

points in the whole area. >> that's andrew similar sons in -- simmons, thank you. samantha power condemned the recent violence and stressed that both sides need to get back to the negotiating table. >> we remain committed to advancing a two-state solution. this underscores just how critical it is to achieve two states living side by side. to that end the united states continues to urge all sides publicly and privately to take affirmative steps to restore calm. >> we just learned that secretary of state john kerry will meet with israeli prime minister benjamin netenyahu next week. netenyahu has said he is also interested in speaking with palestinian prime minister abbas face-to-face. that meeting has not been scheduled yet. a developing story today near turkey's border with syria.

the turkish military says it war planes shot down a drone of unidentified origin. it happened in turkish air space near the syrian border. they said the drone was shot down after issuing three warnings. a u.s. defense official said the drone appeared to be russian made. however, russia says that none of its fleet was hit. also in syria, government forces are unleashed fresh ground attacks just south of aleppo. the offensive is once again being aided be russian air strikes hitting nearby towns. moscow has said that its air war is specifically targeting isil fighters, but rebels and their international backers say the strikes are concentrating on non-isil targets. that includes a major highway which leads to the capitol. our correspondent has the latest. >> reporter: the syrian government and its allies have

expanded their offensive. think that opened a new front south of aleppo. we understand that they are hoping to recapture a route, a very strategic route, the highway that actually links the northern province of aleppo to government-controlled territories further south. aleppo is not the only front. the government yesterday launched a ground offensive against the opposition in the northern countryside of homs, and a few days earlier they opened another front in the northern countryside of hama and in the southern idlib province. i -- it seems they are trying to take control of the supply route. a lot of questions are being asked what has been achieved on the ground? we do know the air strikes have

now placed the opposition on the defensive. but so far, the government has not made significant gains on the ground, and here is where the danger lies, because russia could get involved in what could be a prolonged and costly battle. vladimir putin the russian president said this military operation aims at finding a political solution, but right now the armed opposition and the main political opposition in exile they are not interested in engaging in peace talks. so russia is opening that the stepped up military pressure will bring about some sort of political settlement, or at least convince the west to deal with president bashar al-assad to try not just to fight isil but to try to find a political settlement in syria. we're also getting reports from the syrian observatory for human rights. they say that russian war planes also struck rebel positions in

president bashar al-assad's an sellal village. south korea's president park is at the white house right now, meeting with president obama. high on their agenda is north korea. good afternoon, jamie, these two leaders expected to pout a joint statement on north korea. >> reporter: they are going to have a joint news conference, and that may be the venue for this. it's not clear exactly what the united states and south korea will say except that this is a very long and strong alliance between the two nations. it has been strained a little bit by president park's attempts to open up diplomatic overtures to china, the one country that is seen as having some influence over north korea. president park was at the big

chinese military parade last month that was to mark the 70th anniversary of the end of world war ii, but really looked like a big flexing of military muscle by china, something that many countries boycotted, including the united states. so that might come up as well. but whenever the united states meets with south korea, the topic is north korea, not just the nuclear issue, but also the increasing cyber threat from north korea. so that will be a lot of the discussions, as well as what military measures might be ta n taken. >> you talk about the nuclear threat, you talk about the cyber threat. we just saw jamie live pictures from the white house there, where they are setting up for this joint conference, this joint public speech that they are going to make here and take some questions. one sticking point these two nations this anti-missile system

that the u.s. wants in south korea, but president park is getting pressure from china to come out against that. do we expect that to come up in these talks today? will they discuss this publicly? it will be interesting to see. there is a bit of tension between the united states and south korea over the deployment of the terminal high altitude area defense system. it's the kind of defense that is shooting down missiles from very close range. it would be an advantage to the united states to have these missiles deployed in south korea, at a time that north korea is claiming it has the ability to attack the united states with nuclear weapons. it's unclear how many weapons they have, and it's unclear if they have been able to

miniaturize those to put at the end of a missile. but they are claiming that, and the united states would like to put the system in place to help with that. china's position is not clear, but they do have an objection to it, and south korea appears to be resisting the deployment in deference to the chinese. jam jaim live for us at the white house. thanks a lot. but next year, milwaukee police will be wearing body cameras. they require most officers to now wear them while on duty. several other cities across the u.s. have instituted similar measures. this change comes as the murder rate in milwaukee is skyrocketing right now. we get more from sarah hoye. >> we are following breaking news out of milwaukee this

morning -- >> reporter: many u.s. cities have seen a drastic surge in homicides, with this city topping the list. so far, milwaukee has had just over 100 homicides, compared with 86 throughout all of 2014. >> how are you going to make it through the night with all of the gunshots? >> if you leave this room today, and they close the books on your life, what are people going to say about you? >> educators and friends, these two are trying to step in before anyone else gets killed. together they cofounded the i will not die young campaign. >> violence i think is a -- is a personal issue, and when you find ourselves riding through these communities and you see the shrines to teddy bears and throwers, a lot of people are disconnected because they don't

know the people. >> reporter: milwaukee's homicide rate is once of the worst, with around 14 killings per 100,000 people. the majority are black men with guns the weapon of choice. >> in some neighborhoods it's terribly bleak. the conditions under which people live, the housing, the access to health care, the access to education, it is a scary picture, especially if you are young, a person of color and male. >> reporter: when someone is lost to gun violence the impact is felt throughout the community. last november bullets ripped through a house killing leyla while she was sitting on he grandfath grandfather's lap. her mother remembers the day her father called with the news.

by the time she reached her parent's home, the road had been closed. >> everything was flashing lights. i didn't know what to do or think or go. i didn't know what was going on. i didn't know anything. >> reporter: as the death toll continues to climb, these two work around the clock in hopes of reaching as many young people as they can. >> how bad is it. today we get a class with a young man. he is 16 years old. he says i don't want to be vulnerable. correct. he says as a 16 year old male, it is easier for me to die than it is for me to go on. >> reporter: sarah hoye, al jazeera, milwaukee. up next, trying to stop a billion dollars business, why nevada gaming officials want to keep certain websites out of the state. and private companies are investing in detention centers. we'll see if they are trying to

help people, or are they simply in it for the profits?

if you like sports you may have played on these. two of the most popular fantasy sports websites have been told they can no longer operate in nevada. now this decision could have an impact across the country.

john henry smith has more. >> reporter: the announcement from the nevada state gaming board means sites like draft kings and fan duel are no longer allowed to operate there. both companies have long argued that players kin based on their skills and that what they do on the sites not gambling. without mentioning either side by name the head wrote: gaming is a multi-billion dollars industry in nevada, the fantasy websites have raked in $60 million in entry fees so far this reason. a spokesperson said, quote:

the website fan duel also responded saying, quote: nevada's ruling means there are now six states where the fantasy sports siteings are not allowed. the nevada ruling is the latest blow this week for the industry. on thursday, the fbi and the justice department said they are investigating fantasy sports sites to determine if they violate federal law. and new jersey lawmakers have again called for a congressional hearing on this fast-growing industry. >> at this point with it being an industry where companies are valued at over $1 billion, it's imperative that draft kings as well as others begin to spend more money on complying with legal risks, understanding legal

risks, and putting in place institutional controls. the united states and mexico will open two jointly staffed border stations on mexican soil. they announced the program on thursday, saying it would help speed up commerce. the preinspection stations will allow goods to be reviewed only once. the migrant crisis at the southern u.s. border is attracting private companies that are rake in a lot of money for running detention centers. questions are coming up about whether the profit motive is affecting the treatment of detainees. >> reporter: head about an hour south of phoenix into the heart of the arizona disease cert, and just off of a deserted highway,

you'll find the eloy detention center. but day-to-day operations at eloy are run by a private company called corrections corporation of america, cca for short. it's part of what activist carlos garcia is a troubling trend where prisoners and profits collide. >> when prisons become for-profit we see what is important is the bottom line. >> reporter: right now the cost is about $160 per day per detainee. companies like cca say they run the centers more cheaply and efficiently than the government, but critics say those cost savings are far from proven, and focusing on the bottom line can result in inhumane andlettel

conditions. >> it's the deadliest in the country. we have seen 14 deaths in the last 12 years. >> reporter: but while most of the deaths were related to medical issues, at least five were declared suicides, and studies show prisons most often cut costs on medical and security staffing. that can lead to higher levels of violence and an environment ripe for abuse, neglect, and misconduct. >> it makes a difference when a prison is run by a for-profit company, because it's that much harder to kp that prison accountable. >> reporter: every monday night he holds a meeting for family members for the men and women held at eloy. this woman is aing we here. her husband has been in eloy since may. he is seeking asylum after already being deported back to mexico four times.

>> reporter: what is your worst fear? >> translator: that something might happen to him. that later he'll suffer some injury and that they will say he took his own life >> reporter: those fears stem from the latest death at eloy. authorities say a man committed suicide by stuffing a sock in his throat. his family said he showed no signs of distress. juan miguel seen here dancing with his daughter probably won't be reunited with his family any time soon. a backlog has kept some detainees inside for years. what will you do next? >> translator: right now i'm going to try to continue fighting for my case, and -- well, i trust in god. i trust in god. i trust that there is justice in him. >> reporter: and what do you tell your children? >> translator: to forgive me for

not being with them right now. it's out of my hands. >> reporter: ines ferre, eloy, arizona. i'm jake ward in los angeles, i'm explain why this is just the beginning of earthquake worries in a moment.

>> killing of journalists is a question that is directed to society. >> they are impartial. >> if you wanted to be a good journalist in iraq, you had to risk your life. >> they observe and report. >> kidnapping is a very real problem. >> journalists on the front lines. >> sometimes that means risking death. >> getting the story, no matter

what it takes. >> that's what the fourth estate is all about. that's why i'm risking my life. >> i've been asked to keep my voice down cause we are so close to the isil position >> who is in charge, and are they going to be held to accout? >> but know we're following the research team into the fire >> they're learning how to practice democracy... >> ...just seen tear gas being thrown... >> ...glad sombody care about us man... >> several human workers were kidnapped... >> this is what's left of the hospital >> is a crime that's under reported... >> what do you think... >> we're making history right now... >> al jazeera america ♪ pretty tough to get around parts of southern california

today. a big stretch of interstate 5 is still closed. heavy rain caused mud slides that left a lot of the highway impossible. some roads were burr rid under as much as five feet of mud. most of the emergency calls came from drivers who got trapped in this. no reports of deaths or injuries so far. los angeles is hoping a new earthquake safety law will give people a few extra minutes to escape. jake ward talked to some people trying to prepare l.a. for the very worst. >> reporter: los angeles like so many major cities has a long history of simply ignoring the threat of earthquakes, but now everything has changed. when a big earthquake hits, it's

a feeling that nobody can ever really be prepared for. but los angeles is about to try. the 1994 north ridge earthquake did $40 billion of damage to the area. haunted by these dangers the city brought in scientists to figure out a new plan, and as of october, it's the law. we focused on these three areas, of living through it, responding, and being able to recover, and within that, one big area is dealing with the buildings that we know are going to kill people. >> reporter: across los angeles there is a particular kind of building type that regulators and scientists are worried about, and it's this kind. a building like this is very good at resisting the downward force of gravity, but when it comes to the side-to-side movement you get in a big earthquake that's when you get into trouble. the pillars can basically snap in that kind of shaking. is not an isolated building

time. you are talking about 13,500 at least. and the goal is to earn people the seconds they need to get out alive. these builds are also rent controlled. without them thousands of people could not afford to live in this city. >> if people are displaced they will have to find other housing and at that point they would probably move into buildings where they would have to pay more than they were paying before. >> reporter: the city is deciding whether to bend rent control rules so landlords can pass on the retrofit costs to their tenants. early owns a 21-unit building here and decided to beat the rush and just finished his retrofit. >> it that's largest single expenditure i have had to make since i owned the building.

there's no reason at all for it to be advantageous to have it rent controlled. >> reporter: considering everything that l.a. stands to lose, a big quake could change the city for years, maybe for a generation. >> the largest growth decade in the history of los angeles is the decade after the 1906 earthquake as people came south. we say we gained that time. what is going to happen when it's our turn. >> reporter: jake ward al jazeera, los angeles. check out the famous friend of famous guerrilla. i think she kind of fell in love. looks like she is kind of giving

her a hug there. this guerrilla is very famous for her ability to sign language. this is al jazeera. hello. you're watching the news hour live from london. coming up in the next 60 minutes. five more deaths across cities in occupied territories. the israeli/palestinian unrest intensifies. syrian forces launch a ground offensive in aleppo as russia says it has more than 380 isil targets in the past two weeks. you don't need americans here to protect us. mixed reactions
