1:01 pm
trying to turn america on to cricket we will hear from the lone master and later in the program. tough new measures raising the minimum sentence to three years. lawmakers voted 51 to 17, in favor of the move, weeks after prime minister declared war on anyone who throws stones at the security forces. parents of underage offenders also face new sanctions it will be denied safe benefits while their child serves jail time. the israeli arm has also imposed a closed military zone in the occupied west bank. the implications of the move are unclear. it comes afters forces raided the radio station, and took it off air. the israeli army has accused
1:02 pm
the station of inciting violence, but the director says the shut down is a violent aggression against palestinian media. more for us from west jerusalem. >> while groups have described the passage of this law which has been fast tracked through the parliament, as harsh and extremely punitive, those convicted of throwing stones will now face a minimum of three years in jail. and a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison for the offense. it also means that a judge cannot offer a suspended sentence to anyone convicted of stone throwing either. so a prison sentence is all but certain, for those convicted of stone throwing. the law has also been criticized as amounting to collective punishment as well, with a provision involving children, children
1:03 pm
accused of the offense, while they are serving prison, their parents will no longer be able to have access to national insurance here in israel, now in the background of that we have seened continues protest acrossed the occupied west bank, and now we thans a radio station in the west bank city of hebron has been closed by the military. an israeli military spokesperson said the reason for that closure, and the destroying of broadcasting material and equipment, in that radio station was because it was broadcasting what it described as incitement. but if you speak to palestinians on the street, they say the reason they are protesting is not because of incitement, not because they are being told to, but because they are tired of living under israeli occupation, and that they wanted to end. >> the freelance journalist and human rights activist, specializing in palestinian
1:04 pm
affairs thank you for joining us, here on al jazeera. what do you make of this new law. >> well the new law is one of a number of measures that is passing to try to quell the unrest. and a new law is per seeding. >> the lawmaker said this is basicallying this being done as a deterrent, because stone nowing is viewed as attempted murder. apart from moving on is it right or wrong, does it work? a lot of the measures are advanced and justified in the name overdear tense.
1:05 pm
including both palestinians who are allegedly conducting attacks and the israeli military themselves said the punitive house demolition, did not serve as a deterrent, they said in the second -- and i think what you will find is with a lot of these steps including this new law, that even on it's own terms as a quote deterrent, aside from the issues of human rights it is not effected because it is not addressing what it is driving palestinians -- >> easy on going occupation. >> the radio station has been closed down overnight, accused of incitement, do you think we will see more of that and what with kind of impact does a radio station have -- >> not necessarily -- the general to keep i guess the the radio station all they are doing is broadcasting and informing people about what israeli forces are up to, and what they are doing in the occupied territories.
1:06 pm
and this attack and closing of this radio station, represents the lack of option os that the israeli government and authorities have. because they refuse or are unable to see it through the prison of an anty occupation rebellion. and hatred, and terrorism, and closing something like a radio station, really is indicative of a lack of good options from their point of view. in terms of responding to the events on the ground. >> uh yo mentioned the root of the cause is the on going occupation. k from a political point of view doesn't seem to get resolved any time soon. so if no change happens there do you ever foresee anything they could do to try to quell the violence? or do you see the violence continuing to spiral? the revolt will ebb and flow, and of course there are levels of repression, arrests waves of arrests that we have
1:07 pm
seen in the last weeks that can target activists that can obviously have an impact on the events and despite the limit the palestinians ability to organize and mobilize resistence. but these are at best sticking past the measures but more importantly, they are aggravated the original conditions of occupation, of colonialism that the palestinians are resisting. >> do job consider this the start of a uprising? >> what has happened so far could develop into a third, there's a lot of factors against that, from various angles. i think more important than looking for the label is finalizing what with is going on on the ground. against decades of occupation. >> human rights activists thank you. the two black boxes from the russian passenger farm. this says reports seeing

russian state media that the crash site is not actually belong to the aircraft itself. the plane crash in egypt has been identified the bodies of more victims arrived in st. peters burg early on tuesday. a third plane is expected in the city later in the day. the latest from st. peters burg. >> well, they have formally extended the crash site now, they are looking at an area of what more than 30 square kilometers and it is such a large area, that they are using drones to try and search for more bodies and more debris, well, they found more debris and wreckage, but no actual bodies today. meanwhile, here in st. peters burg, the awful task of identifying the dead. to the meteorologist ware where they are have their d.

1:18 pm
to -- but the children risk being stateless, if their parents don't complete the process by registering them with lebanese government. and for some, that is a complicated process. parents need proper documentation. some don't have any identification because they entered lebanon illegally. others don't -- or are too poor to pay for the paperwork. based on the random sampling we know that 60 to 70% of parent whose have had newborn babies have not completed the first weeks and the necessary steps in order to ensure the rights of their child, and that's a very large number. >> the u.n. says no other country has taken in as many refugees in relation to it's size. and remember monois now treating the refugee crisis

1:21 pm
farmers in rural northern germany. but such is the pressure on space to house refugees here are that this big office complex sitting uncomfortably in a small place was deemed ideal for 750 who have made the desperate journey to live for a few months. i am nervous and credited not only me but the whole team, but that's a part of it if you take your job seriously, we are excited about their arrival tonight, we will welcome them together. >> inside they certainly try to make it livable the charity of housing so many. held countless town hall meetings to reassure. an architect from the ruin city i think, yes, it is
