face. >> hundreds of north and south koreans are to be reunited with their families after decades of separation. the situation is tense across israel in the occupied palestinian territories, where there was several stabbings and shootings, since october 1st, '44 palestinians have been killed and seven israeli cabinet have been meeting to discuss the crisis as the shoot to kill policy has not stopped the unrest. let's look at the figures of palestinians killed. sa jewish settler shot dead a person tore trying to tab him. the palestinian police say the he was killed before he could do parm. harm. an israeli police woman shot

dead a 16-year-old after suffering a hand wound. she attempted to stab her after asking directions. a third palestinian youngster was killed in hebron. that was on saturday. israeli forces shot dead a 16-year-old, this time in east jerusalem, again for allegedly attempting to stab a soldiers. under the same circumstances, a 23-year-old was shot dead at a checkpoint in ramada. we have extensive coverage. mike hanna joins us from west jerusalem. we also go to the occupied west bank. hoda abdel-hamid, the latest incident took place where the palestinian boy was shot. >> yes, indeed, it took place in this part of the checkpoint. which is the pedestrian terminal. they have to go flow several gates. he was on his way into ramallah,

and then overnight was tense. you this jewish settlers attack the house of the young men that were shot dead in the morning. there are two sides of the stories, and you have for example between the settlers and the palestinians. and under the security responsibility of the palestinian authority - that tension is continuing today. we do know about some confrontations going on now, that is after some students called for a demonstration of those we have seen over the past nearly three weeks. each time there's a demonstration it turns into devastation. there are clashes in the north, and now the worry for palestinians is that with the amount of settlement that exists

both in the occupied west bang and east jerusalem, with the amount of expansions announced, the outposts that exist. the continued friction between the palestinians and the settlers, it will cause a lot of unrest. the palestinians believe they are unprotected. many of the times, attacks happen, they go from vandals. for example at the moment. you will hear a lot of farmers complain that they wake up in the morning to find they are confirmed. and we have bodily harm, attacks on houses like what happened in hebron. palestinians say they go unprotected and all of the crowds are unprotected. palestinians are suspected of maybe wanting to carry out an attack. at the moment there's a heightened sense of security. he is immediately shot dead. all of that is increasing on a

daily base, and what palestinians are worried about is a friction all day long in different parts of the australianed west bank. >> on the points you -- of the occupied west bank. >> we'll cross to mike hanna, the government approved a law to allow police to search a person and their belongings if they are not is that corrected of carrying -- not suspected of carrying belongings, what can you tell us about the law, and whether there's a feeling that it will in flame tensions. >> well, the law that will go through cabinet is a restatement of what happened on the ground. that form of policy is in force. we see day after day, week after week, months after months, palestinians stopped on the street lifting shirts, taking

off their shoes. the legislation has been introduced and approved by the cabinet, this is not something new. the reality on the ground is something that has been practised. of more important note is binyamin netanyahu's statement into the status of what he calls temple mount. he made clear that there can be no international involvement in resolving the dispute over the area, rejecting out of hand a french diplomatic initiative to get the motion past in the al-aqsa mosque compound. israel is not the problem, but with regard to what he calls the temple mount, israel is the solution. this is something rejected by palestinian leaders pointing to the dispute over the al-aqsa mosque compound and the intentions as the core of the crisis that the area is

experiencing at the moment, arguing if there's going to be a diplomatic solution, the debate of the compound. what israelis call the temple mount must be at the center of the operation. >> what do we make of the timing of a visit by joe doesn't field, chief of staff. what is the message behind his visit? >> this is a very important side bar to the current round of conflict. the head of the joint chiefs of staff is here, effectively to kick start discussions about defense aid that binyamin netanyahu suspended in the year in protest over nuclear support. the head of the joint chiefs of staff is reopening discussions about the grant. and is expected to total $4 billion at the end of those talks.

significantly, it reflects an easing in the fractious relationship. and between president obama and binyamin netanyahu, and the easing of relations could play out in terms of releasing or relieving u.s. pressure on israel in terms of the steps it's taking. >> thank you for that updapt. >> voting has begun in egypt's election. since the overthrow of mohamed mursi. the poll is a final step in transmission to democracy. the 2-stage process will take weeks to complete. we have more. campaign posters are back on the streets of egypt. a variety of names and faces are running for parliament, political differences are

non-existent. there are no opponents of the leadership on the ballot paper. a stark contrast the last time there was an election. following the 2011 uprising, egypt witnessed its first free and fair election in which a plethora of parties contested. the muslim brotherhood freedom and justice party were the victors of the vote. a few months later military rulers used a court order to dissolve parliament. shortly after the 2013 coup, the muslim brotherhood party was dissolved and the movement described a terrorist organization. the army led by sisi promised to hold parliamentary elections. more than two years later the vote is held. the political climate is far from free or democratic. tens of thousands of activists are behind bars, dozens of journalists are in jail and the media is tightly censored. as a result, several parties, including the april 6th youth

movement pivotal in toppling mubarak, boycotted the poll. that was pivotal are boycotting the poll. for president abdul fatah al-sisi, it's important that a new parliament is formed. they continue to face criticism over a lack of democracy in egypt. as well as a crackdown on opponents. a new parliament presented as proof of a political process. it will be deeply flawed with most of the major parties not having contested the election. let's take a closer look at this election. 27 million egyptians are eligible to vote in sunday's phase. people will vote for the 596 members of parliament. 448 will be elected as independents. 120 representing a party. 28 are presidential appointees. any candidates that ran and won in the 2011, 2012 general elections cannot take part. last time 47% of votes went to

the freedom and justice party, rooted in the muslim brotherhood, but now it's outlawed. leaders killed or gaoled. a former editor of a newspaper in egypt said voters are disillusioned with the protest. >> let's look at the turn out in the expat election that took place yesterday and the day before yesterday. the turn out is almost 2%, which is an all-time low. this is telling about what is happening today and tomorrow in the first phase of elections domestically. let's face it, i mean, when you don't have a relation between the actual number of voters casting the votes and the turn out, you don't have serious elections. most of the people, most of the voters do not believe in the seriousness of this process. it's something unique when all

candidates, almost all candidates running for the parliamentary elections, their only programme is to give up the powers assigned by the constitution to its own institution, the parliament in favour of the president, then most of the people have the right to believe this is not serious. . >> two people have been killed by typhoon koppu. 10,000 have moved to safer ground. flights have been cancelled and power and communication lines snapped in several places. the typhoon is expected to bring winds up to 79km an hour. we sent this update.

>> right now we are in a province known to be the biggest rice producer. the center for rice production in the philippines. it has all been turned into swamp. we were heading to an area where the typhoon made landfall. we were met with flash floods. we have to turn back. now we are trying to find a safer ground where we can stay for the night. the situation is different for communities that are trapped at the moment. in some. provinces. rescuers are not able enter the areas. the death toll is at two at the moment. there's a lot of concern about safety and security for those that have been trapped by water. the water is up to the chest level at the moment, and there's worry that flash floods will go down. there's worry about security and safety. still ahead - activists in india express horror and disgust
