ising a harsh response following more deadly violence in his country. his soldier was stabbed in tel aviv. -- a soldier was stabbed in tel aviv. he died from his injuries. a young woman was killed and two others injured after a palestinian man emerged from a vehicle brandishing a knife. the latest violence follows i will rest around -- ifollows months of unrest -- violence follows months of unrest.

we just heard that the second person has found -- has succumbed to injuries. >> the 20-year-old israeli soldier was emerging from a train this morning when an 18-year-old palestinian from the west bank, who was in the area illegally, stabbed him with a knife. he was trying to steal his weapon and he failed to do that. but the wounds that he inflicted on this young man were such that he has now succumbed to them. all day the doctors were saying that he was very initially wounded and that he was fighting for his life. he has lost that fight. >> a sad development. two deaths in israel in the space of today. it's difficult to know how to predict how the government will respond. today's attackers have been lone

wolves. >> they have their it -- they have. let's look at the young man who stabbed the soldier here he is 18, not a militant, -- the soldier. he is 18, not a militant. he was not sent by hamas. his father said he is surprised he has none this. he took a knife from home, hoping to get a weapon from a soldier. how could you possibly predict that? perhaps he doesn't even know until a few days before, even the money -- morning before. it's very hard to police that. he is still alive. they will be able to check with him as per his motives. but most of the young men whom we have seen carrying out these attacks have been religious and religious affiliated.

it goes back to the story of jerusalem and the al-aqsa mosque. these are only moments in these people's lives, and then they turn and do this, and that's a very difficult thing. >> thank you for that update irris makler, in jerusalem with the latest news. we've learned that the israeli soldier who was stabbed in tel aviv has succumbed to his injuries and died. the un's secretary-general, ban ki-moon, has appointed a team to investigate attacks on refugee shelters. the shelling is a moral outrage. israel says hamas militants were using the schools as weapons stores. 47 school students were killed today and dozens more injured in northeast nigeria after a suspected boko haram suicide

bombing, which struck an all boys school input system -- school in potiskum. it is assumed this is one of the worst attacks to target schools with a so-called western curriculum. goodluck jonathan has called it a dastardly act and he promised to track down those responsible. i spoke to our international affairs editor, who explained this isn't the first time boko haram has targeted schools. >> this is the second major attack on a school in nigeria this year, the one with the most international residence was in april, when more than 200 schoolgirls were kidnapped . schools are a target because they have elements of western curriculum, which is considered sinful by boko haram. this latest atrocity in potiskum is the worst school attack in terms of the death toll this

year, although there was in february that was nearly as bad in terms of the people that were killed. the interesting thing, i think about this is that it underlines a new tactic, suicide bombings against schools. those used to be quite rare. there was a similar kind of attack in september against the teacher training center. it is particularly shocking to nigerians, because suicide is anathema in their culture but you are talking about muslim world -- or christian or -- it is quite effective at creating terror in these mass casualties like we've seen today in potisum.kum. >> a jihadist group based in egypt's sinai peninsula is printing -- pledging its alliance to islamic state

organization. they have. out attacks -- they have carried out attacks in the ousting of president mohamed morsi last year. there is a growing appeal to the group. >> sinai-based militants have carried out a string of attacks targeting egyptian soldiers and police last year trying to assassinate the interior minister with a car bomb. it is the most significant allegiance to the islamic state group today. >> announced our pledge of allegiance -- we announced our pledge of allegiance, to listen and obey in all circumstances. >> their sworn enemy, the president, who led the overthrow of mohamed morsi. the militants want to implement islamic law. jihadist groups -- for jihadist groups, there is a big

difference between expressing support and pledging allegiance. >> when the group pledges allegiance, they become under the rule of the islamic state. anyone can support. for jihadist groups, either they are al qaeda or not. >> amongst a few others who have pledged allegiance, including the algerian group time the beheading of french hostage herve godel. the move is influential. >> it allows islamic state to hit in places which are really far from its origin, syria and iraq. the allegiance comes from egypt. egypt is the country of zoller here he, -- of zawahiri, the emir of al qaeda. it is the aim of islamic state

to replace al qaeda. >> it is overshadowing its al qaeda rivals. >> iraqi state television is reporting that the leader of the islamic state organization has been noted in an airstrike carried out -- and it in an airstrike -- has been wounded in an airstrike. he was injured in a strike in iraq's andy barr province -- iraq's anbar province. >> the syrian president, bashar al-assad, is reportedly studying n.u.m. plan which would ease -- studying a u.n. plan which would see fighting cease in the country's biggest city and commercial capital. >> there are once again, growing fears of a return to

all-out fighting in areas of eastern ukraine. that follows a weekend of intense shelling around the region of donetsk. kiev accused moscow of sending in dozens of tanks and other support for the rebels. there are tanks on the ground that are thought to be operated by pro-russian rebels in that region. the cease-fire was hanging by a thread. the ukrainian government says the rebels could be gearing up for a fresh offensive in the city of donetsk. for more on that, we can speak to ian kerns, a research director at the european leadership network, who joins us now from london. clearly, all hope of a cease-fire -- looking extremely dim at this particular moment looking at those events in the east of the country. >> good evening. that does seem to be the case. these recent reports of additional military equipment arriving in the eastern ukraine

from russia do indicate a possibility of further escalation in fighting, possibly even a handful of moves to expand the territory which they currently control. >> indeed. all of those denials by moscow of them supplying hardware to the rebels, what we are seeing todaytoday looks suspiciously like those counterclaims are untrue and that russia is indeed supplying the rebels. otherwise, where else are they getting all that hardware from? >> that's right. there's nothing new about this. i think we have become used in recent months to the fact that russia is supplying military equipment and hardware to the rebels in the east and then simply denying it.

there are various tanks moving through that part of ukraine. russia denies it, but i think those denials have to be dismissed. the big question is -- is this about strengthening the defensive positions of the areas held by rebels question mark in which case it looks like they -- by rebels? in which case, it looks like they are digging in. or is there an attempt here to build up the military capabilities of the rebels such that they can try and expand the territory they control? that would be a serious escalation of the situation. >> we've been looking at pictures of those tanks and other armored vehicles heading in the direction of donetsk. that's the new footage that we have. clearly, with that kind of hardware headed to donetsk, the

authorities in kiev have a much more serious battle on their hands if they find themselves confronted by it. >> i think truth be told, over the last three months, there was a situation in which the ukrainian forces looked like they were about to defeat the rebels, and the situation was reversed i direct intervention of russian military units -- reversed by direct intervention of russian military units. it's not only clear that russia assisted the military units in the east, but that a whole formation of russian troops went into ukraine and fought as organized formations of the russian military. what we are seeing is a continuation of the same thing. the reality for the government is, provided moscow is willing to do this, there is little the government in kiev can do. the military is not strong enough to defeat the russian military, which is what it is

effectively coming up against in some of these military encounters at the moment. i think it's going to be a long haul for the government in kiev. at the moment, it's not in a position to do anything about it. >> ian kearns, thank you so much for speaking to "france 24." if at first you don't succeed, try, try again. so goes the saying. we are about to meet one frenchman who embodies that at age -- that adage. he won it on his seventh attempt, setting a new world record for the journey. just 7 1/2 days. >> after his solitary effort celebrations in the company of others. he arrived into fourth in the middle of the night. thousands had arrived to greet him. >> what time is it? is there nobody in bed at this hour? it's not normal.

>> there's a bit of a crowd here. it's wonderful, great. a little stressful, but it is great. >> faced with a sea of cameras and microphones louic -- loick peyron finishes with a champagne shower. and a celebration from the local landlubbers. >> he is a hero, and a champion. we know all about champions here. >> it's extraordinary. what's really great is that he is very down to earth. >> last sunday, he was in -- today, he is -- it is wonderful. >> the race was a big challenge for loick peyron, challenging him to man a botat intended for a full crew. he was ahead of the field for

the first few hours. his navigational prowess propelled him to a new record. [applause] early monday morning peyron was not so much a man reaching dryland as a man entering the history books. >> incredible stuff. you are watching "live from paris" on "france 24." violence spreading israel. a woman and soldier killed and two others wounded in two separate palestinian knife attacks. one in tel aviv and the other at a settlement. 47 students killed and dozens more injured following a suspected the boko haram suicide blast in northeastern nigeria. mounting tensions in eastern ukraine -- the siding of armored vehicles heading to donetsk sparks fears of return to all-out fighting. time for a check of the top business news stories.
