>> hello there, i'm julie mcdonald. this is the news hour. coming up in the next 60 minutes. knife more deaths across cities of occupied territories. the violence continues as politicians look for solutions. the battle for aleppo russia bombs positions. the lockdown.

stopping refugees flowing into the territory from neighboring croatia. also frozen assets, discussion of the new cold war over arctic oil and gas reserves. >> and in sports another serious allegations has landed at fifa's door. football's governing body has investigating claims that the world cup in germany is secure. >> hello there, a warm welcome to this hour of news. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu plans to meet secretary of state john kerry in berlin next wednesday to zeus the crisis in israel .

in bethlehem forces fire tear goosen against palestinian protesters. the u.n. security council upheld an emergency session to discuss the situation. second general ban ki-moon condemns what he calls reprehensible palestinian attacks on a jewish holy site. we have our coverage from occupied east jerusalem. >> after friday prayers in the wake of a week of violence and deep-set fear in gaza, more shooting from the israeli army and more killing of palestinians. members of casualties rising as protesters breach the border fencing in several places including the crossing point into israel. and these clashes came in

bethlehem the occupied west bank. there were similar scenes, and a palestinian man disguised with the word journalist was shot dead after police say he stabbed a soldier who was followed rately wounded. all over the occupied west bank there were stand offs, conflicts and injuries. in jerusalem there had been tension but no major incidents as they face roadblocks, check points and searches in order to make what are short journeys. they face long detours. friday prayers at thal aqsa mosque compound restricted to women and men over 40 was nothing new, but the mood was different. the security is heavy, so are the restrictions. the numbers are far fewer than normal. and that's because of the new security measures. as the violence continues unabated at the same time as the u.n. security council in

new york was talking about the situation here the question was still hanging in the air filled with tear gas. will the security measures make any difference to the situation? al jazeera, in occupied east jerusalem. >> let's get more from the west bank now. we go to ramallah. >> protests and violence that follows happens on a daily base now on friday. the worse fighting was in bethlehem. tensions have risen over the past weeks simply because two protesters died on two different occasions. one of them was a 13-year-old boy. now there was also similar fighting and unrest in other areas here in ramallah in the north, and in hebron.

violence that could indicate an escalation. a man dressed as a journalist with a t-shirt identifying himself as press had walked towards a soldier and tried to stab him. the soldier was slightly wounded, but the man was shot dead on the spot now this is the first time it happened in the occupied west bank and there is fear among many that this is something that signals the beginning of a way of stabbings that so far has not happened in the west bank. >> now to the u.n. where the security council has been holding an emergency session. the ambassador to the u.s. called for international help. >> we come to you today asking you to urgently intervene to end this aggression against our

defenseless palestinian people. and against our clines, which are subjected to violations by the israeli military occupation and israeli settlers, and by extremists. >> the deputy israeli ambassador is accusing the palestinian leadership for inciting the recent violence. >> we face an enemy who is willing to die in order to kill. these people who kill innocent civilian in cold blood abide by no rules. israel is taking every necessary means to defend its citizen and is responding proportionately to these attacks. i have no doubt that on a daily bases your citizens were stabbed in the streets with pusher knives or your security forces would have reacted in the same way. >> meanwhile, speaking in

washington, d.c. u.s. pratt barack obamu.s. president barack obama has this warning. >> over time the only way that israel is going to be truly secure and the only way that the palestinians are going to be able to meet the aspirations of the people is that if there are two states living side by side in peace and security. it's going to be up to the parties, and we constant ready to assist to see if they can start a more constructive relationship. but in the meantime right now, you know, everybody needs to focus on making sure innocent people are not being killed. >> live now to patty culhane in our washington bureau. u.s. secretary of state john kerry is set to meet with the israeli prime minister. what can they achieve at this stage? >> president barack obama is not

sounding all that optimistic that in his time in office he'll be able to find a two-state solution. we've been told that he plans to meet with palestinian leadership not that secretary kerry has enough influence to change the situation on the ground. he has spent a lot of effort coming to a two-state solution, but it does not seem that he has a lot of ways to pressure the israelis, and when it comes to the palestinians, it's not that they view the united states as an honest broker. in fact, they say they're not an honest broker. secretary of kerry was at harvard and said that the settlement has led to the tension that we see on the ground. now he's walking that back and saying that the settlements are an excuse for the attacks that

are happening. very sensitive topic here in washington. >> this is the big question. what is the current u.s. broader strategy. we used to hear the phrase two state solution all the time. but now it's been a long time since there has been any meaningful progress. >> what does the united states do at the u.n. stewart council in the coming months? remember when prime minister netanyahu was running for prime minister, he said there would be no two-state solution on his watch. now he has changed that to there will be no two-state solution while there are extrems . they said they're going to review their holy spirit at the united nations. we believe they're looking at the revolution that would say that israel and palestine have 18 months to figure out the

payments in a two-state solution or palestine would be recognized as a state. we'll see what cams out of that meeting. >> patty culhane joining me live from washington, d.c. we'll see what happens. thank you. now back to syria where russia said it has hit more than now they have been targeted in aleppo.

>> air power is being used to assist the syrian army and it's allies. >> in the short term it's clear that putin wants to protected assad. he wants to be clear that he's sticking his finger in the west and position himself as a key global leader. >> operations against the opposition are proving to be difficult. rebels are fighting back. russian airstrikes may have been effective in hitting vital targets but so far the syrian government in its allies a peer to have made no significant gains on the ground. government forces are on the offensive in the countryside of the northern province of idlib. they announced a major ground operation in the northern countryside of homs on thursday. on friday their forces moved south of the divided city of

aleppo. the area being targeted is close to a main road that would link aleppo to government-controlled areas further south. the latest defensive comes as alepp alesson in aleppo for the third week. rebel group as well as opposition in exile, the are refusing to be engaged in any peace process. instead, they're calling on their supporters to help them counter what they call russian aggression. >> we want to peaceful protests to start. russia, i think will accelerate the trial support. >> the counter offensive that is

now expanded is about eliminating threats to the government and defeating what is called the moderate opposition. russia hopes to persuade the west with the need to work with president bashar al-assad, not only to fight isil by to bring about a settlement. >> the touris turkish military said that it has shot down an aircraft, the well, al jazeera bernard smith is in istanbul. >> there are reports that this drone was three kilometers inside turkish air space when it was engaged by the air force close to the border as they gave three verbal warnings to the drone to move from its position. it didn't, so they shot it down.

it's not a particularly large craft. it doesn't have any identification. there are reports out of washington, d.c. that they believe the drone is russian. now earlier on this month russian jets have twice violated turkish air space as they fly combat missions over syria. the russians have apologied, and said they will make sure that it doesn't happen again, but this is the first time since world war ii that nato and russiaen aircraft have been flying combat missions in the same air space all parties keen to make sure that the others know what they're doing so there isn't a risk of any escalation or confrontation between those--between nato and russian aircraft. >> a gunman has been shot dead

at a religious sight in saudi arabia. the man open fired at the shia hall. >> we'll tell you why visiting one of greece's most famous sites is about to cost more. and and in sports find out which record england cricket captain alastair cook has broken in the first test against pakistan. >> the pentagon is keeping--a

man wounded in the taliban fighting. killed in the u.s. airstrikes on the doctors without borders hospital. his brothers say that the u.s. announcement to keep troops in afghanistan is unwelcomed. >> we don't need america to send their forces here to protect us. we demand that the united states and other foreign countries stop supporting the taliban and others who fight us. >> at a fu funeral, the sentiment is the same. >> instead of leaving thousands of forces here, the americans should equip and support our own forces and they should be equipped with modern weapons. >> the united states is helping,

president ashraf ghani welcomed the troops here and said it came after months of consultation. >> in this mosque in kabul. there is not much hope that the deteriorating economy and security situation. >> people are fleeing the country and in the past 13 years that america has been here what have they done to help us. now they have more loops in afghanistan. i don't think it will help. it's for their own interest, not ours. >> the u.s. decision to stay is in part because the taliban refused to come to the peace table and chose to fight instead. >> we should have worked for the

peace process, thin there would be no reason for the foreigners to stay in this country. >> they'll be staying in four bases around the country. many afghans say they're not convince that had u.s. soldiers could makes make a real difference in stopping the violence here. >> 28,000 people contracted ab contract ebola. it was fatal for 11,000 who caught it. that means there, there may be others sit putting others at risk. well, specializing in infectious disease and spent time earlier this year working with ebola victims. she said it takes one case to start a whole other epidemic.

>> well, what is concern something that first of all the world's attention has shifted away from ebola. this is precisely the kind of situation, moment, if there is any reemergence of the disease we're not prepared to deal with it. the fact that one nurse has relapsed with the decease means she could be infects others. if this were to happen in west africa this could lead to another outbreak. the first outbreak began with one case and it just takes one case to set this off again. >> now to hungary where they'll soon stop refugees from crossing its border. >> a violent end to a brutal journey.

an afghan man christianin of a--an afghan man traveling with 15 others. the man had been resisting arrest when the shooting occurred, and the victim was caught by the rick veh of a bullet. he died on way to hospital. the west of the men have sense been detained by police. it's the first incident of its kind since refugees began crossing across the country two years ago. the constant flow of refugees has strained the asystem and they have found little in the way of the a welcome. they have not helped others and it has not played well with germany, which has received most of the asylum seekers.

we all together arrive to germany, i think. >> now hungry said it will close down it's board on friday. it has already closed down it's frontier with serbia. as for those fleeing persecution there was an urgency to arrive before the winter sets in. as it has happened before there will be shows who are prepared to take the journey no matter the risk. >> germany's leader will be insure doing what it can for refugees. >> another to help refugees we have t.

>> now tickets to the famed decrop his is athens is look to skyrocket to help pay off its enormous dent. wdebt. >> when it was built the great expense caused a scandal and court case making the front page 25 centuries later. tickets are to rise from just under $14 to just under 24. it's part of a price hike in museums. some visitors dismiss the rise saying it's negligible once they've spent thousands of dollars getting here. >> it's history. we'll never see it again. especially where i'm coming from the other part of the world. i won't have a chance to see this again in my lifetime. so it's worth it.

>> others say they wouldn't pay it. you want people to come, keep it affordable. >> still the higher prices would not be a far cry. the coliseum in roam costs $14. the eiffel tower in paris is $20. with these new ticket prices the government hopes to bring the revenue to the 100 mark by 2016. >> what about the greeks, many could be priced out of their own heritage. >> in the winter months prices will be cut by half so greeks will have an opportunity to visit. museums are free on the first of

every month, and entry remains free for several groups of people. >> he says he wants to market greece more effectively. but tickets are not the only thing going up. greece now has 23% consumer tax on eating out. there is a danger that the buyer cosentire cost of coming here will deter tourists. the government is simply exhausting it's options. the threatenedder was meant to symbolize the health of the athenian empower and could become a symbol of greek indebtedness. >> in southern california heavy rain has caused flash flooding and mudslides and the worse could yet to come.

>> stranded motorists in california had to trudge through a sea of mud to get help. they were stuck for more than four hours on a mountain pass. the grave vine known to millions as a gateway had come to a standstill. >> all we saw was a mount of boulders and dirt and stuff coming right for us. it pretty much lifted my car up and spun us around like it was nothing. >> dozens of rescuers were sent out to help stranded motorists. california is now preparing for a godzilla el niño. it's expected to be the strongest since scientists began keeping record of it in 1950. >> the worse off the coast of southern california are already

4 degrees warmer than they should be. think of it lasting longer and falling more heavily. >> the last significant el niño weather to pound california with relentless rain happened 18 years ago. two dozen people were killed more than 2,000 houses were destroyed. thousands of people were forced to evacuate their homes. the 1997 and 1998 el nino cost $500 million of damage. back then state officials said that only a quarter of population took whether warning seriously and few bought disaster supplies in preparation. >> we're starting out in a position of extreme drought. this is the most ex-freedom drought in california's recorded history. what that means is that the soils are very dry. we've seen tree death, wildfires burning a lot of forest.

that all makes for a greater potential of flooding and problems with excess water. >> los angeles county wants people to be ready for more flooding, mudslides, downed trees and blackouts. there is an expected benefit. scientists think that el niño can help alleviate california's severe water shortage, but california needs several consecutive years of heavy rain before the golden state's aquifers are replenished. >> still ahead on the program. we'll go to kenya's, many worry about the plans to modernize the economy. and sepp blatter says he has nothing to fear despite being subject of a criminal investigation.

>> welcome back. now with all the day's sports news here is andy.

>> thank you so much. the germany football association the fifa related investigation. both fifa and the german fa are looking into claims that the 2006 was secured thanks to bribes. the focus is the payment by the country's world cup organizing committee to fifa. fifa said that the allegations will be reviewed as part of it's ongoing investigation into corruption. there is concern that it was not used for its intended purpose. >> they're saying that they found no indication of irregularities but during those broader investigation it is came across an april 2005 payment from the germany organizing committee to fifa. this may potentially not have been used for the intended purpose.

>> let, in danger of drowning allegations. but does this latest charge have more significant than others? it does. good to see you again. the significance here. well, let's back up. what have we be hearing up until now? we've been hearing the establishment of football in western europe we've seen them point a finger at russia and saying that how can you possibly let these countries operate in a different manner host the world's biggest athletic event. now we're seeing germany,

apparently operating in very much the same manager. we're seeing it's not an east-west cultural class. the game itself is rotten from within, and it's in need of an entire cultural change. >> what can you tell us about the relationship between fifa and aladar. >> you've seen fifa's other major sponsors, coca-cola, mcdonald's, and others saying blatter has to go. adidas has been silent. fifa and adidas needs each other. and adidas produces products used in the game.

and fifa and adidas grew together as international businesses. they're very much in bed with one other and their livelihoods depend on each other. it's going to be--i think we're seeing adi see seeing adidas as the last rat on a sinking ship here. >> should we expect more charges in the coming weeks? >> no doubt. my u.s. sources tell me there are more likely more indictments coming. people like you and me are doing our work in this regard.

i don't think we're at the end of the beginning here. we have not crested the wave yet. there is more to come and i think we need to be ready for it. >> senior writer thanks for your time well suspended fifa president sepp blatter admitted there is no written contract to explain the $2 million paid to michel platini blatter said that the pair had aa gentlemen's agreement. they have both been panned. plan at this any received the money in 2011 with both eand platter claiming that it was for work done with fifa a decade earlier. >> it was a why the that i had with michel platini, a gentlemen's agreement, and that was followed through on. but because the case is currently investigated by various committees i can't go into any more detail. >> now the rugby world cup has

reached the knock out phase with the first two quarterfinals kicking up by saturday. >> in the south of france, it's a religion. whether those prayers have been answered, they're reportedly trying to oust their own coach. >> we spoke from the start of the preparation that we're going to have to stay longer because there is a lot of roomers that have come out on the french side. we've been warned. it's happened, and we've prepared this game like any other game. >> whatever the state new zealand have been well

prepared. >> i always turn up. we're really looking forward to it, to the challenge. and there are not many bigger challenges. >> in saturday's other quarterfinals wales are determined to return to the venue for the semifinals. >> we feel we're in a pretty good place. we're competing with some of the top teams, and you need a little more luck and a couple of decisioning to your way. >> the springboks are weary from the last time they played. >> we know if we don't pick up

with the full on the day we'll come out in the second half. >> and the coach facing the prospect of being fired. >> now england's cricket captain alastair cook, 263 spans three days and more than 800 minutes of play making it the longest-ever by an english batsman. he guided his team, english finishing on 500 and 69 for 8 i'll hand you back to julie in lone do. >> thank you. you can find out much more on our website. why not take a look. we'll be updating you throughout the day on the situation. that's it for me. we'll be back with more.
