an israeli settler shoots and kills a palestinian teenager but there are doubts as to whether he ever really posed a threat. hello there. this is al jazeera live from london. also coming up, anger,out rage, and shock in india after two little girls are raped in separate attacks. they've survived the war tearing their country apart. now these syrian refugees are battling to get life-saving medical treatment.

>> new frontier in identity theft. how hackers can have the living declared dead. despite renewed international calls for calm, the violence is continuing in israel and the occupied palestinian territories. questions are being raised about whether the shooting of a palestinian by a jewish settler in hebron was self-defense or an attack. shortly afterwards, a woman was killed after she stabbed an officer at a border police base. elsewhere, a 16 year old palestinian was skilled in jerusalem after he drew a knife on israeli forces. israeli police say he pulled the weapon when they stopped to ask for identification. >>reporter: one of the the

palestinian dead came from this neighborhood and was shot and killed in an adjoining settlement. it's one of the most heavily-blockaded parts of occupied east jerusalem. and the fact that a 16 year old there gained easy access raises questions about the effectiveness of israels closure policy. no attempt is made by the soldiers to disarm him and several residents allege a knife was placed on the body of the palestinian the settler just shot. the deep divide between israeli and palestinian is reflected in an urgent meeting of the u.n. security council where the representatives of each side exchanged blame for the crisis. the israeli prime minister is due to meet u.s. secretary of

state john kerry in germany on wednesday and will present israels view of israel's view of events. in particular the control it exercises over access to the al-aqsa mosque compound. the international calls for leaders to restore calm is essentially dealing with the consequences rather than the cause and palestinian leaders insist that the focus of diplomacy should be the core issue. what exactly does israel mean when it says it intends to preserve the status quo of what it calls the temple mount. mike hannah, al jazeera. a palestinian diplomat says palestinians will continue resisting the occupation. >> we're all united and will

resist as we've been doing for the last 70 years. we will not turn to history and today i assure you that every palestinian is united and i assure you that palestinian leadership will take every possible action to protect our nation as you saw what our u.n. ambassador did yesterday. i want you to point to the daily assassinations that happened this morning in hebron and in jerusalem. today we're living in a mad house inside israel and intoxilyz israeli-controlled areas if the this is a horror house. >> andrew joins us live. you heard in that report questioning the effectiveness of israel's closure policy. is it apparent to you that israel's response to these attacks, this massive security

presence just is not working? >> well, it would appear so, jonah. but the question has to be made, how can you contain this when there is no really as we've said so many times, there's no coordination or apparent organization involved in this. it's people who are loosely associated on social media with common interests all with a sudden desperate urge to express themselves in this horrendous violence. now, what we've seen on the streets again this saturday is a similar pattern, the common theme being that teenagers are involved and that shooting in hebron has caused such hebb -- a deepening and hatred. we've just been to the army

press afters again to see if there's going to be an inquiry. some eyewitnesss say that there was an attempt at stabbing a person, a jewish settler in hebron. others suggest there was no provocation what so ever. but there is also an allegation that a knife was laid on the body. now, whether or not that is an attempt at a cover up is entirely unclear because it could be that the scene of the crime was being cleared. but without any shadow of doubt, just the image of israeli soldiers not dealing with a man, a civilian with a gun which could be loaded and ready to go not disarming him at all making no effort, that image alone is enough to cause a complete inflamed situation in hebron. >> as much as you are referring of course to what is effectively

a leaderless up rising, perhaps there was also a lack of real political leadership because neither side seems to be offering up very much in the way of calming rhetoric. is this beyond them do you think? >> well, that's a fair point. i can't answer that. it is certainly stretching the whole thing to the very, very limit. the word on the street in the occupied west bank and indeed in the occupied territories certainly in gaza is that people, young people don't have the same leadership. there's a whole new generation growing up under occupation with all the consequences occupation means. it's very hard to take in in this 21st century what it's like to live under occupation, particularly in places like gaza

and the occupied west bank. and indeed here in occupied east jerusalem. and i think really what we're seeing now is an expression not just in these attacks but a level of desperation amongst young people which is very dissimilar to their parents and a different generation who have seen the awful effects on the economy and on lives and on families who are not interested in violence. so we have a sort of social rift going on as well as a political one. it's an incredibly complex situation and on the israeli government side, we have a prime minister who is also under pressure. he's under pressure to deliver some level of normality and right now it's not just the horrendous fear on the streets. it's also the economy that's at stake. it's normal living at stake. peace of mind. and peace for families trying to

live an ordinary life. >> andrew simmons in west jerusalem, thank you. in two separate attacks, new delhi police say a 2 year old girl was raped and dumped in a park near her home and a 5 year old was gang raped in a neighbors home. the toddler was playing outside her house when she went missing. three men are being questioned over the alleged gang rape of the 5 year old. both girls are in stable condition at the hospital. >> what is happening, i cannot understand. i met the girl in hospital. she has scratch and bite marks all over her body. she was left bleeding in a park. what kind of animals are these? >> russia says it has hit 49 positions held by isil in syria

in the last 24 hours but syrian activists say the strikes have also targeted residential areas in homs province killing civilians. >>reporter: a mourner recites the names of victims in this grave yard in homs. 36 names, 36 people he calls mar tires, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, all civilians the rebels say all killed during russian air strikes. >> they were killed while waiting in line for bread. they're not isil. they're innocent. we only have god on our side. >>reporter: the syrian government launched a new offensive on homs in the last few days. it's not its first on the rebel-controlled province but this time it has russian air support. activists say another 20

civilians were killed leaving behind a blood soaked prayer rug, a drink machine, and a large bomb crater. >> the polls landed here. this was a bakery. targeting this proves the russian government narrative is not true. where are the terrorists here? this was a bakery owned by a family and this is their property. >>reporter: syrian army commanders say they're targeting terrorists, part of a wider offensive that includes the second city of aleppo and the provinces of hama and idlib. if the syrian government recaptures homs, it would be able to regain control of roads linking the capital damascus to aleppo. the war in syria has driven thousands of refugees to neighboring jordan. almost a quarter of a million are facing food shortage and

some are chronic illnesses have also lost free medical care. >>reporter: most syrian refugees in jordon who have chronic diseases are battling against odds to get treatment. they have been left on their own after the government suspended free medical care last year for refugees for medical moneyeding. the patients still have to pay for essential medication here. he sold everything he owns including his wives gold jewelry to pay $150 a month for medication. >> aid agencies used to give us assistance and then cut us off. i swear my children and i cry at night. what's the solution for our

tragedy? why don't they just give us poison so we can take our lives. i think about suicide because i don't know what to do. >> the continuing war in syria raises concerns about whether there will be any assistance for years to come. >> we worry about funding. this patient relies on dialysis. a charity or hospital may provide a few sessions but continuity is not guaranteed and kidney failure is chronic and requires permanent funding. >>reporter: on top of that, refugees are not allowed to work in jordon. >> they are forced to make difficult choices like spending less on food in order to pay for treatment. last month about a third of refugees lost their food assistance. many say they have nothing left here. she has leukemia. her chemotherapy was paid for a

couple of months before medical care was suspended. her parents struggle to pay for her weekly treatments. sometimes we borrow money. sometimes my husband finds work and uses that money for her treatment. that's how we get by. we can't afford much. last month the family also lost the little food assistance it had been getting from the world food program. doctors say that she has an 85% chance of healing if she gets proper treatment. her parents say if they run out of money, all they can do is pray for her. you're watching al jazeera. still to come in the program, these sentiments make me feel very unsafe in my country and i was born and raised here >> canadians divided over an issue that's emerged as a talking point in the election campaign. plus, how mexicos top drug lord

a reminder of the top stories here on al jazeera. three palestinians shot dead in what israel said were knife attacks. two incidents were in hebron in the occupied best bank. a palestinian teenager was shot dead in occupied east jerusalem. two girls age 2 and 5 have been raped in separate attacks in india. russia says its air force has carried out another 36 air strikes in syria hitting isil

targets. 12 people have drowned off the coast of turkey as they attempted to reach the greek island of lesbos. four children and a baby were among those killed. staying with the refugee story, refugees have started arriving in slovenia after hungary closed its border with croatia on friday. >>reporter: this is the village on the croatia hungary border. as many as 8,000 refugees have crossed into hungary each day from here but at midnight security forces sealed off the crossing point. refugees desperate to get to austria or germany now face traveling will you slovenia or remaining in croatia where the

temperatures are starting to fall. >> a situation is a humanitarian situation on the ground. absolute disaster. >>reporter: these were the last refugees to get into hungary on friday before the crossing point was closed. it says it was forced to seal off its final crossing point after an eu meeting in brussels failed to agree on tough new rules to stop the flow of refugees into europe >> this is not the best. only the second best solution. but the best solution did not come about yesterday at the european council meeting as there is no agreement on the protection of the external borders of greece. >>reporter: the sheer number of refugees who have arrived has strained europes asylum system. the prime minister is standing

by a tough immigration policy and that has not played well with germany which has received most of the asylum seekers. the government of hungary is so far ignored all criticism of how it's handled the refugee crisis. it's now closed a second border, sealed off its frontier with serbia last month. its message so refugees is clear, go somewhere else. mexicos top drug lord has made another great escape. three months after he tunnelled his way out of prison. el chapo is thought to have injured his face and leg as he narrowly avoided recapture. here's more from mexico city. >>reporter: the worlds most wanted drug lord has slipped through the grasp of the mexican authorities once again. the mexican navy were closing in on him in the mountains of northeast mexico first of all by

helicopters in which they fired on communities around the area in which they believed he was and then by sending in the navy infantry that they hoped would capture him. but he had already got an way by that point but not completely unscath unscathed. he was injured in the face and the leg. it's finished off what has not been a great week for mexican authorities. early this week audio was leaked from his escape from a mexican high security prison in which he tunnelled out earlier this year. in that recording, you can hear the loud sounds of tunnelling and even his rescuing team calling up to him as he casually goes down into that hole that was dug underneath his shower. so once again, he has escaped from the clutches of the mexican authorities. he's injured but he's still a

free man. egyptians living abroad have gun voting in the first election since president morsi was ousted in 2013. the election in egypt itself starts on sunday and completes in early december. zimbabwe, soaring unemployment is being described as a ticking time bomb. the government is trying to make it harder for companies to lay people off but employers say they have no choice. >>reporter: a supreme court ruling recently gave companies permission to fire people. he was given no severance and told to disbelieve the master can do whatever he wants to do to employees. should there be any silly story

or silly case, you find that you are going to be fired. >>reporter: the government intervened, amended the labor law making it difficult to fire workers and assist assisting those who lost jobs get severance pay. >> companies insist the only way they can survive is by cutting jobs. economists say the unemployment rate is more than 80%. people on the streets are graduates. >> the economy is in very bad shape and we're anticipating a serious drought affecting crop and electricity production. we don't have the money to pay for the food we need to import. >>reporter: millions are struggling because of the rising unemployment. >> 2008, we had an election that was influenced by the economy and the government -- it's very difficult to survive in that

election. so if more people are losing their jobs, it will cause more suffering. i don't see the government being able to deal with that situation. >>reporter: civil servant wages make up more than 80% of the government expenditure. the finance minister warns that's not sustainable. in canada, candidates are making a last-minute appeal for votes ahead of national elections on monday. long serving prime minister stephen harper is fighting to stay in power initially the economy dominated the campaign but now it's been drawn to allegations of discrimination. >> she is 22. she is taking a degree in social work and religious studies. what she wears is a big talking point in canada's election campaign. >> i didn't realize this was

ever going to be an issue. things like that. and then i kind of became very hurt and offended. it makes me feel very unsafe in my own country and i was born and raised here. >>reporter: here's why, she wanted to take her canadian citizenship vote while wearing her head scarf. she was not allowed to. other similar issues came up. stephen harpers government said it was stripping citizenship from several men convicted of terrorist offenses who had dual nationali nationali nationality. the prime minister and his

political party deny they're driving wedges between canadians. to opponents though, the tactics are obvious. >> basically justin trudeau was -- >> this candidate came from lebanon in the 1980s. his election signs were recreditly defaced. he has no doubt why. >> when you create division, it's a scare tactic. it's not good for the future of this nation. >>reporter: both opposition leaders have strongly criticized the government for emphasizing these issues and promised to reverse some controversial measures including the tip line. >> we asked almost 1,000 people a day during the campaign what the most important issue is for

them in the election and -- most people say the economy. >>reporter: in the end, voters will decide on monday whether what seems to be singling out muslims is a way to get elected in canada. if so, this is a very different than it used to be. al jazeera, london, ontario >> more and more of us are falling victim to cyber criminals. in australia and new zealand, more than a million people have their identities stolen each year. even the dead are not spared. andrew thomas reports. >>reporter: a text message from her bank warned rhonda to check her account. when she did, she found it had been emptied. probably by stealing posts from her mailbox, somebody had gathered enough information to pretend they were her on the phone and carry out transactions. the bank refunded the stolen money but a second attempt was made. >> what's going to happen next.

my identity will probably be used over and over again. details are already out there. i can't stop that. >>reporter: it's a growing problem worldwide. in australia and new zealand, more than a million people have their identity compromised each year. established for the most traumatic cases. it's had more than 14,000 calls in ten months. >> one in five people require professional mental health support. to have your identity stolen, there's always something over your head. you don't get your identity back. >>reporter: in some cases, the identities stolen are from the dead. when malaysia airlines flight 17 was shot down last year, criminals saw an opportunity. >> within three days of that plane going down, mobile phones, credit cards, and social media were being used in victims' names.

>>reporter: it could be getting worse. most of those buried in this grave yard died long before cyber crime came about. but one expert says the next frontier in id theft is death. often now the administration of death is handled digitally. in many countries, doctors and funeral directors fill in electronic forms and death certificates are processed online. with enough personal information hackers can have people declared dead. you might electronically kill yourself for a life insurance payout or you might want to kill off someone you have a grudge against because being officially dead can be a barrier to every day life. >> you could be dead and not know it or me and you won't know until you go get a license renewal. then you have to unsolve the mess caused against me.

the worlds fastest-growing crime following the circle of life. andrew thomas, al jazeera, sidney. >> don't forget, as always, more on all our top stories on the website aljazeera.com. china's one child policy has quoted controversy, from accusations of the state confiscating children, to forced abortions. today it is being blamed for a declining fertility rate and a major gender imbalance, with more than 30 million men, to women by 2020.
