about two thousand people gathered to mourn the dead and offer prayers for the 21 people injured. a sense of shock is also being felt by those who new the suspected attackers personally as rob reynolds now reports. >> reporter: these men worshipped with syed farook at this mosque. they say they saw no signs that their friend was radicalise-- radicalized. >> how could it be? what would make a person do such a thing? >> reporter: they say he never appeared angry or held a grudge. >> he was very respectful person. >> reporter: they do say that he took his muslim faith

seriously. the men who prayed with him here at this mosque say they are shocked and baffled about why he did what he did. >> we knew him in the mosque. he seemed like a very nice person. to all of us, it's very shocking. it's someone that we know that actually did this crime. >> reporter: thursday afternoon police allowed journalists to get close to the inland regional center where the killings happened. what shocks many people here most is how syed farook and his wife tashfeen malik could have made pipe bombs and planning mass murder while caring for a six month old girl. people of the faith gathered to pray and trying to make sense of an unfathomable crime the russian foreign minister lavrov has said he has heard

nothing from his counterpart on the downing of the russian jet close to the syrian border. they met on the sidelines of the conference in belgrade. it was the first time they had met since the incident. the stand off continues with president putin warning of further action against turkey. >> reporter: this was a chance for russia and turkey to diffuse tensions, a face-to-face meeting between the two countries foreign ministers on the sidelines of the security conference in belgrade. he said it was unrealistic to solve problems with russia in just one meeting. >> translation: these meetings are important. both sides do not want to escalate the tensions. both sides want to repair relations. we have different opinions and positions, but turkey wants to narrow down these differences. i'm sure once the sentimentality

is left behind common sense will prevail. >> reporter: in moscow putin delivered his state of the nation address. it is something he has done 12 times now, but in few of his previous years was this nation quite so embrailled in the world's conflicts. after a moment of silence for russian service men and civilians killed abroad recently, he reiterated a call for global action. >> translation: we need to set aside all arguments and differences to create one powerful fist, one united terrorist front which will act on the basis of international order and under the auspices of the united nations >> reporter: for turkey a threat that more measures will follow. indeed, negotiations have been suspended for one of the country's biggest joint energy projects. the plans for the turkish stream gas pipeline. this would have been a way for russian gas destined for european markets to avoid

another neighbour that russia has ex-employ sieve relations with, ukraine. talk of russia's international isolation is over overblown but it has lost key allies in the last two years. responding to russian allegations that turkey has been buying oil from i.s.i.l., the president erdogan hit back with accusations of his own. >> translation: who is buying that oil? let me tell you. asyrian who has a russian passport, george hashrawi. he is the biggest trader. he buys oil from d.a.e.s.h., sells it both to the syrian regime and international oil traders. recently the u.s. department of the treasury made this public. there's a famous russian chess player also on the trade. we have documents and we are going to make them public to the world. >> reporter: russia is demanding an apology from turkey for the loss of its plane. turkey is urging russia to keep a cool head, but for now the war

of words goes on the bring the imprime minister has said air strikes against i.s.i.l. targets in syria will take time and require persistence. david cameron has been speaking for the first time since the go ahead for the royal air force to go into action is syria >> there will be very strong support from muslim countries, gulf countries that have asked us to take part in this action, as part of a process that will actually help to deliver the political and diplomatic change that we need in syria as well, but we're going to need to be patient and persistent. this is going to take time. it is complex. it is difficult. what we're asking our pilots to do and our thoughts should be with them and their families as they commence this important work the german parliament is debating the government's plans to send 1200 soldiers to support the fight against i.s.i.l.

a warship and reconnaissance aircraft are part of the proposal. france has appealed for gentlemen man help after last month's paris attacks. political analyst says the plan is being criticised for lacking clear goals. >> the opposition comes from the green party and from the very left who believe that it's neither convincing reason to a military action, they avoid the word war. nor is it clear what happens after the military intervention. there were different scenarios on the table, one was burden sharing if france is using in other parts of the world like aafrica, jeer germany could come and give more french troops to act the way they decided to act.

now it seems as if france wants germany to be visiblibly involved in this. this is the commitment that germany wants to take because france is our closest ally also in thailand have received a warning of russia of possible i.s.i.l. links an tarnal police document leakd to local media says ten syrian nationals who entered thailand in october will try to create incidents to affect russians. the challenge is a popular suddenation especially during the new year holidays oil minister from the are meeting in the coming hours. the ministers arrived in vienna on thursday. top of the agenda is oil production. so far the members haven't been able to strike a deal on cutting it. but oil prices continue to slump affecting revenues.

barnaby phillips is at that meeting in vienna. >> reporter: there will be a very big debate amongst the 12 ministers. on the one hand i think it's fair to say that you have the saudi position which is that the current level of production should be maintained regardless of the short term impact on oil prices. in other words, the sau darkss are prepared to see this glut of oil on the international market which has contributed to the current dramatic fall in oil prices in recent days going beneath $45 a barrel. the saudi strategy is to put high cost oil producers out of business. there are other countries in opec, venezuelan, algeria, libya, indeed nigeria who frankly lead a more hand to mouth existence, who need high

oil prices day-to-day to fund their government social projects, their security concerns and so on, and they will be saying to the saudis, please, let's cut back production, let's try and push the oil price back up to roughly at least 60/70 dollars a barrel which would give us something to play with, some flexiblity, and that is the nature of the debate that will take place in the meeting in vienna behind me still to come on this program, we speak to palestinian teenagers about what life is like under constant threat of an israeli crackdown. and as the first u.s. commercial nuclear plant in two decades nears launch, we look at the country's reluctance to embrace this source of energy. sure, tv has evolved over the years.

it's gotten squarer.

brighter. bigger. it's gotten thinner. even curvier. but what's next? for all binge watchers. movie geeks. sports freaks. x1 from xfinity will change the way you experience tv.

of israeli jewish youth have been arrested in connection with this case and they are being questioned. it comes a day after we had a statement from the u.n. special envoy to the middle east peace protest. he expressed concern at the slow process in this case. also it was a case that was very much affecting the palestinian street, even now when you speak to palestinians who are involved in the protests we see, we've had this wave of tension in the last two months. many of them cite this case of what happened to the family and that there is no justice. palestinians always very sceptical that when any israeli commits a crime against a palestinian, that justice is hardly ever done. so it is important that this kind of news comes out. again at the moment the case is still under gag order. we do not know the details, but we do know that a number of jewish youth have been arrested who are believed to have been connected and who carried out

this crime and they're currently being questioned palestinian teenagers in the occupied territory live under the constant threat of israeli crackdowns. the detail insecurity and the humiliation have led to growing anger and frustration and at times to violence. >> reporter: i wish to weak up in a jerusalem at peace. for how long will our blood run? for this boy rapping is the best way to express how he feels. >> translation: life in the old city has become very difficult to those of my age. we like to go out, but now we can't do anything. it's too dangerous. if i go out for a walk, i will get stopped more than once. if a soldier speaks bad to me, i want to defend myself b but if i say something wrong i will get

detained. our parents don't allow us to leave the home they're too scared. >> reporter: this boys' school is in the heart of the jerusalem's old city. tensions are hard and being a palestinian teenager these days is not easy. >> translation: we take our precautions. we don't go to the jewish site. it can be dangerous for us. anyone can accuse us of anything. i say he is an arab and that is enough for us to be shot at. i'm sad and high million crate. -- mew million crate humiliated. coming to school has become difficult for them. a respondent report says it is the sense of deprivation that is at the cause of the violence.

it is what happens to two cousinss of 15 and 13 with who after school stabbed two israelis. one died and the other was detained. >> he describes a situation while he is older 15 year old cousin addresses him one or two days before, and tells him we should be shot, should be martyred because life is so bad, we have no future. i don't see any horizon. in his affidavit from the 14 october still in the hospital, he says, we know what will happen after the stabbing, or they will break our bodies just like what i am now, or we will be shot, or we will be marnyrs,

it means we will die. >> reporter: he is now standing trial and could face up to 20 years in prison. this teenager shares that frustration, but he wants to become a professional footballer. >> translation: education is my way of fighting. with this situation many times i'm prevented from going to school and i mistery out on a lot of classes. what's the point of being free but not educated? >> reporter: he doesn't feel safe. his teacher walks him to the check point before his home. he went through this time, but tomorrow is another day full of worries to india where water levels have started to recede after a pause in heavy rainfall. that has given the emergency services a chance to step up

into darkness. >> translation: i am conscious of what's at stake. not just about the survival of the model. >> reporter: no lack of supporters here with the state's vast media network. for the first time in 17 years the opposition has a good chance of chipping away at the revolution on state power. it is an election that many view here as a refer encouple on t the-- referendum on the president who took over when the former president died. you can see the image here, don't betray him, he is watching. for veeps, one of the world's largest oil producing nations has plunged into an au acute economic crisis. they say they are tired of

shortages of food, medicine, basic services and the highest inflation rate in the world and more and more people here hold the government responsible. of all the government vows that will be respected, it is a contradictory message to the opposition, by telling supporters mere that they must win the election at alcost, no matter what it takes the first new u.s. commercial nuclear power plant for more than 20 years is due to go on line in early 2016. the u.s. is the world's largest provider of nuclear power, but also generates more electricity than other forms. the industry is being challenged by concerns over safety and cost. >> reporter: along the river it's the fishing that concerns
