these are inflamed in east jerusalem. we will of course be bringing you more details on the story once we get it. just to repeat, a driver rammed a car, and two police men have been run over. it happened in east jerusalem, and we'll bridge you more details as we get it >>> moving on, thousands are expected to demonstrate in mexico over the disappearance of 43 students. families are organising a protest on wednesday. it followed the arrest of a major and his wife linked to the disrespects of the student. >> reporter: captured, mexico's wanted couple. a former mayor and his wife. both are suspected of having links to a drug gang, masterminding an attack. it left 43 university students missing. federal police arrested a couple in a small apartment in the city, during a pre-dawn raid. it was a much-needed break for the federal government. police are looking for the students, more than a month after they disappeared in guerrero. >> translation: investigations advance. i hope in the next few days we can give you more substantia

you have 300,000 settlers in east jerusalem. you can't move those away, but often when we talk about these settlers, we talk about land that will be exchanged, and palestinians don't see that as okay. the more settlements being built, the more land is being lost, saying that we'll replace it with other land some place else, don't worry about it. palestinians hear we'll take what we want, and then later on we'll give you something else in exchange. that's unacceptable for palestinians. there is no reason to negotiate over a land that's being taken away while you negotiating at the same time. >> when we talk about land swaps, do we also have to concede that land in and around jerusalem because of its tremendous symbolic importance to what it shows the rest of the world is not like land elsewhere in the long border between these two small states. >> i would argue, that yes, the value of land in east jerusalem is not particularly high. when people talk about land swaps it's not just quantity but quality. and if it really wanted to c

this palestinian neighborhood in occupied east -- jerusalem. the protests follow what the israeli police are calling a hit and run terror attack. a man drive his car into a platform of waiting people at a train platform. the man was shot dead. he is widely reported as having connections to hamas. police say they shot him because he was trying to attack bystanders with a metal rod. >> translator: in recent days we have witnessed growing incitement by the head of the palestinian authority, including the sending of a condolence letter to the family of would-be assassin sin -- and calling to prevent jews from visiting the mosque. the ramming attack in jerusalem is a direct result of the incitement. we are in a continuous battle over jerusalem, which i have no doubt we will win. >> reporter: the attack happened shortly after a violent confrontation between israeli police and palestinian protesters at the al-aqsa compound in occupied east jerusalem. the fighting began after a group of far-right israeli activists tried to enter the holy site. they wer

jerusalem and territories while jordan is the guardian of shrines in east jerusalem, so the king has been growing increasingly frustrated with the situation there, and he feels that the u.s. has to play a role in stopping these violations. jordan also feels that israel hasn't been respecting jordan's role under the peace treaty, which gives this the guardianship over the islamic shrines in east jerusalem. according to government sources we spoke to, the king has told kerry i am fighting a war on your behalf, a war against terrorism. i am part of your coalition, international coalition against isil. we need the u.s. to also fight against what the king describes as zionistic extremism. jordan recalled its ambassador back to the country in protest of the israeli violations. the ambassador has not returned. during his visit to jordan, kerry met with palestinian president abbas to discuss ways to try to stop the situation from spiraling out of control especially in the west bank where we have seen tensions rise and violence and protests. >> we have more on the settlements from occupied ea

all the hospitals in jerusalem have been. [ inaudible ] the two terrorists we confirmed from east jerusalem. and the situation now is still continuing. as far as we are concerned police units are on the site. and heightened security in jerusalem at the moment. >> you talk about the two suspects as terrorist terroristu tell us a bit more about their background, are they palestinians, affiliated to any group or faction? >> that's being looked in to at the moment by security forces and us the police. we confirmed they are both from east jerusalem and continuing the work at the moment. >> any information, sir, whether this attack is related to attack a the palestinian bus drive yesterday, -- >> yesterday, i would like to confirm yesterday and differentiate. yesterday the pal still vinnie committed suicide an autopsy was carried out and the man committed su suicide. there was no foul play whatsoever. the -- this is on palestinian media as well as other media, it was unfortunate and unnecessary. and that is what is inciting terrorist attacks they moment and we are doing everything possible on the

we have also heard from the chief rabbi here in east jerusalem also appealing for calm. and now that the israeli leadership is becoming concerned about what is going on, there is still a huge security presence, and that certainly isn't helping calm things down. and indeed we are expecting more protests. whatever the case, this issue, which has been brewing here in the occupied east of jerusalem, is very quickly becoming an international concern. we have heard jordan raise concerns to the u.n. security council. we have the e.u.'s foreign minister here discussing the issue with the israeli foreign minister, and the white house has also expressed concerns, so there is a lot of pressure now on israel to calm things down here, and the measures they have been using, heavy security forces and indeed heavy policing tactics doesn't seem to be doing the trick, if you will, so one would imagine that is why we're hearing these comments and appeals for calm by the israeli government. >>> three people have been killed in the latest anti-government protests in egypt. a teenager died an

let's go straight to east jerusalem, of course, east jerusalem, the old city, the focus really of the most recent protests. just walk us through what is happening there in sense of some security measures. >> indeed. although the israeli prime minister making this dramassic step by going to aman jordan to meet with the king and indeed the u.s. secretary of state in the background of all this we still see protests we understand a few hours ago, it was a fairly heated contest. clashing with israeli forces, but we also have comments coming from israeli minister whose have suggested that they want to install facial recognition technology at the compound, as well as metal detectors. so while it is very clear that the prime minister is trying to diffuse the situation, has gone to aman in the the attempts to do just that when it comes to the situation on the ground, that indeed policy is very little is being done to prevent that, particularly with the news that 200 new settlements or units will be built to move that has been condemned. >> and of course, you mentioned that benjamin going throu

there are gunshots being fired in east jerusalem right now. it appears that things are anything but calm. >> this is a very -- what we're seeing in east jerusalem is essentially a long-running now, been going on since july, violence. the danger is that this isn't going away, the israeli forces haven't been able to get this under control and extremists on both sides are really aggravating the situation. >> you're concerned now that what is happening in east jerusalem is affecting isil. >> the connection -- >> in other words, it is causing them to be able to recruit easier. >> absolutely. this is, you know, there's nothing -- the issue of the -- >> i want to stop you, because we're going to take a look at what we're seeing. our viewers are seeing people on the roof. you saw the forces move in. they are firing shots now at the people on the roof. we're going to let this play out for a second. how concerned are you at images we are seeing? >> i think i'm not unfortunately particularly surprised by these images. these are the kind of things we've b

the palestinians want east jerusalem as a capital of a future state. the government says it will always be the unified capital of israel. if you look at the language, it's difficult to see the two sides. the government doesn't want to budge on some of the final status issues. we had nine months talks sponsored by the u.s. it didn't begin to address the issues. it gives you a sense of how difficult it is. in his language, when the talks failed, he can only do so much if two sides are not willing to compromise. >> stephanie dekker, thank you, from east jerusalem. >> earlier i spoke to a senior member member of fatah, and said the israeli government is trying to turn the conflict into a religious confrontation. >> unfortunately the world tension is on this unfortunate condemned attack yesterday on the israeli synagogue. there was attention, not nearly as scarily focused on daily activities, and by extreme terrorists on groups for a daily basis. today the situation is as such. it's one project only, the greater israel project. what we call. they want us al

israeli police have deployed reinforcements to occupied east jerusalem to present more violence. tensions have been high as palestinians accuse the israeli government of wanting to change the rules about who can worship at al-aqsa mosque. >>> the ukrainian military say tanks and heavy weapons have crossed into ukraine from russia. >>> and a new report accuses high-ranking officers in myanmar's army of war crimes. they committed executions and torture civilians in the state. >>> the united nations human rights office has accused sri lanka of trying to sabotage its war crimes inquiry. it says the government has refused to cooperate. the u.n. is looking into whether the government and rebels committed war crimes during the civil war. we spoke a submissioner for the human rights, and he says it's in sri lanka's best interests to cooperate with the probe. >> we know for a fact a number of people have been deterred from submitting answers to the inquiry. we have highly experienced human rights staff who, you know, look out for exactly that sort of thing. i think it's particularly unfor

gerald tan, al jazeera. >>> let's cross to stephanie decker in east jerusalem at the scene of the attack and stephanie what is the latest from where you are? >> reporter: that is the synagogue just down the road from us, a heavy security present here and also many people outside, you can see the crowd is further down, a lot of anger here of course at what has happened, the fact that two attackers managed to get inside the synagogue and kill four people, that is confirmed and two policemen also in there and others and police are stepping up their presence and not just this area but east jerusalem and we spoke to the spokesperson niki who you heard from the report and from the ground and intelligence level there is concern this could escalate and certainly speaking to people here they were saying death to arabs and people are praying outside that synagogue, what happened here at 7:00 in the morning with prayers two men came in holdings axes, knives and we are told a pistol and a fire fight also with police and which is why they got injured in that event but certainly a concern the fact tha

jerusalem -- or occupied east jerusalem and west jerusalem. and that is when a palestinian man drove his week into a crowd of people waiting at a train station. and one person was killed in that attack, and police later shot dead the palestinian driver of the vehicle. >> a struggle for control of east jerusalem. we have a statement by an israeli minister talking about building a temple at the mosque. how is that planning into the tension? >> reporter: i think it's enormously to be perfectly frank. the truth is, we have heard and particularly from some of these activists, we understand from eyewitnesss that they were chanting as they were trying to access the compound, they were chanting that very thought, that a third temple will be built there. they believe the al-aqsa was built on the foundation of one of their temples, and you have these groups advocating for that. it certainly inflames things within the palestinian communities who increasingly see the al-aqsa compound and mosque as something that is being desecrated by israeli security for

israel has announced it is to build 200 more settlements in occupied east jerusalem. the u.s. has criticized that decision. we -- a former ambassador says he doesn't consider this illegal. >> this is an negotiating arrangement between israeliians and palestinians. they agreed to negotiate this issue between them. there's no basic prohibition on building settlements. the issue has to be negotiated, and whilst both the jewish people and the muslim people have got well-based claims with respect to the areas of the west bank, historic claims, and legal claims, both sides have agreed to negotiate. nobody has ever established that this is palestinian territory. you know, you say that israel is building on occupied land, land that doesn't belong to it. well that's not true. this is an issue historical issue that has no be negotiated according to very strict international law and israeli law, nobody is allowed to take any private land from anybody. so any accusation that israel is throwing people out of their private land simply has no basis what over. it is not true. israeli settleme

and, of course, east jerusalem is completely under israeli control. so there's only so much the israeli authorities can do in retaliation for this brutal attack that took place this morning. >> ben, there's already claims from relatives of these assailants that, i think, somewhere along the lines of 13 different family members ranging from sisters to parents of these attackers have been arrested in that neighborhood. but at this point, is anyone being definitive about claiming responsibility and saying, we did it and this is why? >> reporter: the only group that seems to be doing it -- for instance, hamas has not claimed responsibility. it expressed support for the attack but didn't claim responsibility. the popular front for the liberation of palestine, a marxist organization, did issue a statement that some have interpreted as being a claim of responsibility. but our understanding is that no one in the families, the extended families of these two palestinians who were killed this morning by the israeli police after the attack has indicated that they

in occupied east jerusalem, we've already seen confrontations between palestinian youths, and israeli security forces, israeli security forces which have used stun grenades, tear gas canisters and the like against palestinian protestors, but of course, the background of all this and these picture at this funeral, not only a moment of sadness for many israelis, but one would imagine some anger, as well, whatever the case, it's been a very unpredictable and volatile day in west jerusalem and occupied territories. let's look at the day's events. >> more violence on the streets of jerusalem, this time in the city's west, a synagog in an orthodox jewish neighborhood was the tarts. according to israeli police, two palestinians wielding guns and axes attacked worshipers during daily prayers. cousins belonged to the palestinian group known as the popular front for the liberation of palestinian. a statement from the group's armed wing welcomed the attack but stopped short of taking responsibility for or directly organizing it. police say they killed the two attackers. >> police who arrived in

>> we know he comes from the refugee camp in east jerusalem. this is all coming after tensions in east jerusalem have been extremely high in recent days. we've seen almost daily clashes between palestinian protestors and israeli police in the old city of jerusalem around the compound t area the jews refer to as temple mount. >> talk us through what happened there. we have pictures of the temple mosque area. we saw some amateur video footage from that area today. >> reporter: that's right. this was from early this morning. israeli police have moved into the sight to clear in a sit-in by protestors. they heard jewish right wing activists were planning to visit the site and they were sitting there to protect the area as they saw it. as police tried to clear the area using stun grenades and other methods we're told, rocks were thrown and other items. a number of palestinians were hurt. one young man was hit in the face by a rubber bullets we're told. israeli police say a number of their officers were also hurt. the scene there is now calm. it's a r

thithis is the palestinian neighborhood in occupied east jerusalem. protesters took to the streets after what they see is increasing israel aggression, lighting fires and setting off fireworks. the protests follow what the israeli police are calling a hit-and-run terror attack. investigators say a palestinian man drove his car into a crowd of people waiting at a train platform in west jerusalem injuring several, some critically. a security camera captured the moment officers shot the man did. i has been identified who is widely reported to have connections with hamas. police say they shot him because he was trying to attack bystanders with a metal rod. >> in recent days we have see aggression. this incitement has consequences on the ground. the ramming attack in jerusalem is a direct result of the ensi incitement. we're in a continuous battle over jerusalem, which i have no doubt we will win. >> the attack happened shortly after a violent confrontation between israeli police and palestinian protesters at the compound in occupied east jerusalem. the fi

thank you. >>> tensions are still high in occupied east jerusalem. hundreds ofville security forces were deployed there, but there has been no signs of violence this evening. earlier in the day palestinian protesters clashed with israeli troops on the west bank. let's take a deeper dive in codirector of center for piece culture. good to see you. thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> why is this happening now? >> i mean, this is part of a longstanding campaign. >> why this flare-up? >> the official act that started the assassination attempt on jewish activists, that has encouraged right-wing politicians in israel to really seize upon this issue of rights on the temple mount for their own political purposes. at the same time you have muslim groups that feed upon the sensitivity of this side to stoke unrest. i think extremists on both sides have seized upon this. they're being called right wing groups. for more access from the temple mount complex. what's at the occur of it? >> they claim that you should have the right to pray feely. what goes behin

. >> in occupied east jerusalem, palestinian protestors also fought with police. fire and smoke were seen coming from the neighborhood where the attackers were from. israeli forces raided the homes of the two men and arrested members of their families. in recent weeks, jerusalem has witnessed a state of violence partly over a contested holy site sacred to jews and muslims. it created not only a security challenge, but with unfor the overall peace negotiates efforts when demands for jews to have access to pray. >> this is not really helpful for the peace process and for trying to deescalate the situation and tension in jerusalem. >> as israeli and palestinian leaders struggle to find a starting point to resume negotiations, the conflict continues on the streets. aljazeera, occupied east jerusalem. >> we are getting reports of a car bomb in central yemen. it happened near radah. three houthi fighters were killed. we will bring you more details as we get them. >> in israel libya, a ceasefirea response to the deteriorating humanitarian situation. we have more from the

in a shootout were living in east jerusalem. neither was known to having deep political ties and no group has credibly claimed to have sent them to that synagogue early this morning. let's go to our senior international correspondent who is there, ben wedeman in jerusalem. and so we heard from prime minister netanyahu vowing reprisals against the group or groups who ordered this attack. might this been, might this be the case of where they were sent by no one, simply acted alone. >> yes, it seems to be the case, brooke. and this is not the first. there have been a series of attacks leaving six israelis dead that have been committed by individuals with no apparent political affiliation. now, there was a statement put out by the marxist palestinian front -- popular front for the liberation of palestine suggesting that these two individuals from east jerusalem were somehow affiliated with the group. but that has not been confirmed yet. this is the problem, you know, obviously -- has a very close eye on east jerusalem on the west ba

units in occupied east jerusalem. now this is obviously not helping a very tense situation in which palestinians are literally frightened to drive out at night now because of the situation where they're perceived to be possibly going to drive their vehicle at a crowd. this is a whole new depth, as i said earlier, of fear. people looking several times before they cross the road, worried that a car might be driven at them. this is the depth we're at now here. a real sense of desperation on the part of the palestinians, and a sense of fear amongst israelis not seen for a while. not only that, the disturbing aspect of the religious nature of this conflict deeply set now and getting more in that direction over time, it would appear. >> andrew simmons, thank you very much, indeed. >> five people, six people, i beg your pardon, have been killed in a suicide attack in a city of erbil in iraq, the capitol of the semi autonomous kurdish region, until now has been relatively secure. we have reports from baghdad. >> reporter: fir

and indeed it has caused more demonstrations on thursday particularly in the occupied east jerusalem. and these demonstrations weren't huge, they weren't involving much violence, but the sway of situation is still very tense. >> and what could reduce that? >> well, it's hashed to gauge, nick. there's been a raft of new measures, most of them kept quoid by the security forces. one measure causing concern and that is the licenses are no longer required for security guards to go home with their weaponry. that applies also to retired security force members. that in occupied east jerusalem alone, requires for 1500 security workers taking their guns home, a lot of people here have license for firearms, and increased worries among both communities that there will be shootouts in the future. but for now, there is some level of calm. but then there's still this -- this whole cloud of tension around any gathering in jerusalem right now. nick. >> all right andrew simmons reporting. almost a thousand people have been killed in fighting since a ceasefire has been declared in september in ukraine.

thank you. >> security forces in israel fired tear gas at protesters in east jerusalem. palestinian youth threw stones at trucks and cars waiting to cross a roadblock. tensions were high after it two people attacked a synagogue. imtiaz tyab joins us from our bureau in west jerusalem. tell us, first, about the latest from east jerusalem, and whether the clashes there are continuing. >> the situation across occupied east jurisdiction is extremely tense, it has been tense for some time now. we have hit something of a peak, particularly following the attack by two palestinian men in the west of the city leaving five taken. the israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu ordered a large security presence in the occupied east jerusalem, which is saying something, considering the security presence was large to begin with, a number of roads have been blocked off, causing anger on the streets. what we understand, particularly in the shuffant neighbourhoods is that protesters have been trying to prevent israeli security forces from delivering a demolition order to the families of on

jerusalem, so we cannot deceive ourselves into thinking there is some grand conspiracy in east jerusalem now with some kind of underground movement. what this is are two young people deeply distraught that they cannot travel and continue to live under the kind of occupation that will breed this kind of violence for the foreseeable future unless someone points a way forward that is farther thinking and more progressive. i think that that's very possible if we listen to the people on the ground who have lived this reality for so long. >> as always, we thank you for being with us this morning. >> democracy protestors clashing with police in hong kong. a small group tried to break in so the cities legislature and police pushed the group back. the flareup comes after a relatively quiet last few weeks. protestors have held massive demonstrations since september demanding free elections in 2017. >> the midwest looking to warm up from a deep freeze. >> nicole mitchell is here. warm-1 is a relative term. >> it's going to take a couple of days. getting to freezing would be a warm up. 27 in atlanta

none the less they occupied east jerusalem and elsewhere. more importantly they angered this country. the united states repeatedly called on israel not to do so because of the escalation we have seen over the past several weeks including the restrictions that have been placed on palestinians trying to access the sanctuary. they called the temple mount in east jerusalem. >> from an american perspective, despite the horrible events in gaza over the summer, the beheadings have taken american media attention off of them. does that hamper the political clout, if you will, of netanyahu in terms of reaching out for american support? >> it definitely muddies the issue. israel and the palestinians need this commitment to encourage them if not to use the word forcing them to make progress. towards a peace process. it is clear that what's happening in syria with isis or isil is welcomed by israel, but used to make the point, look, what is happening in israel with the palestinians needs solving, but it's a drop in the ocean compared to the sea of violen

again in occupied east jerusalem. the fact of the matter is whenever, if ever palestinian states are made or announced or created, this is unlikely to be part of it. it fuels the tensions that we have seen over the past several weeks, and which heated up over the past few days, and the announcement of the expansion will not help things. >> we know the u.s. secretary of state secretary of state john kerry is about to meet with a mahmoud abbas in jordan's capital imam. what is expected to come out of those talks? >> well, really underscoring how serious the international community, particularly the united states is taking the tensions which has gripped east jerusalem, and the west bank. the u.s. secretary of state john kerry is meeting with the palestinian president mahmoud abbas, as you point out in jordan, neighbouring jordan. it's a conversation they'll have with the jordanian king. one will imagine mr kerry will persuade mr abbas to move away from the plan that he has to go to the u.n. security council for a resolut

occupied east jerusalem with the west. andrew simmons reports. >> reporter: in the ancient city of jerusalem, this is no ordinary tram line, it runs on a route of violent division between jews and arabs. stop by stop, this tram follows a modern time line of violence and tragedy. this tram line links occupied east jerusalem with the west of the city, and in doing so, it has become a focal point for anger. but here, right now, there's a sense of frustration, of fear. that isn't surprising, most places you look there is a gun in site. fewer people are getting on board now. the concrete ballard is to prevent attackers from crashing cars into crowds. two people were killed here fort night ago. and two weeks ago a woman and a baby were killed. >> translator: there is fear when you get on the train, but we have to reach a solution. we all live here, them and us. the train is ours and theres. >> the arabs have to understand that this is our place also. we are not the [ inaudible ] we are at home. and they will never throw us. >> t

. >>> security has been increased around the al-aqsa mosque in occupied east jerusalem. hamas and islamic jihad issued separate statements on thursday, calling on palestinians to take to the streets. palestinians say that israel want to change the rules on who can worship at the mosque. here is the latest from occupied east jerusalem. >> reporter: that huge israeli security presence ahead of and during friday prayers has filtered away into palestinian neighborhoods. security forces basing themselves for another evening of protests in occupied east jerusalem, the scene of major protests now for some time. however, in the backdrop of all of that, we are now hearing comments from senior israeli officials, including the prime minister benjamin netenyahu appealing for calm. we have also heard from the chief rabbi here in jerusalem, also appealing for calm. although it has now become clear that the israeli leadership is becoming very concerned about what is going on, there is still a huge security presence, and that certainly isn't helping calm things down, and we are expectin

in east jerusalem, palestinians put up posters of the two men hailing them as martyrs. but the father of one of the attackers says he can't believe it. i did not think at any time that my son would do such a thing, he says. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has ordered authorities to destroy the killers' homes and is promising tougher action to stop palestinian attacks. israeli security forces demolished the house of a palestinian who killed a woman and american baby when he rammed his car into a train station last month. tensions are high across the region with palestinians and israelis fighting over access to the temple mount, a sacred religious site. alfonso van marsh, cbs news. >>> in this country police say they arrest add suspect for pushing -- arrested a suspect for pushing a man to his death at a new york subway train.

jerusalem from the occupied west bank and this protest was called for 10:00 a.m. local time and two hours ago. a small group of protesters came and moved to another check post to hold the protest. we have seen a few confrontations between youth and israeli security forces and a few canisters of tear gasses but it has been calm and behind me you cannot see them now but they were there a couple moments ago is a fairly visizable presence d for now is calm and remains extremely volatile. >> and we see it spilling in the west bank and following the talks in jordan do you think things are expected to stay calm there? >> that really is the million dollar question and people are hoping that it stays calm and of course we have seen unrest not just for the last few days but the past few days and months and a number of issues that the palestinians are trying to find solutions for or at least very angry about now we have these sort of decisions or these sort of concessions if you will that the israelis have made, they allowed people to go pray at the mosque, people of all age

in fact, israeli police from right around the country have been brought to the annex east of jerusalem for that very purpose. now we're seeing even more security and that i guess partially why we've seen these continuing protests in several neighborhoods, several palestinian neighborhoods, whatever the case, the news of what again the police are describing as a hit-and-run terror attack happening in the occupied west bank in which three israeli soldiers were wounded. that is a cause for concern. many seeing that the occupied germ is spilling over into the west bank. that is a serious cause for alarm for the palestinian leadership and israelis, as well. >> leaders in burkina faso agreed to a one year transitional government in place until elections next year, but there's no agreement on who would lead that government. three west african governments are negotiating a return to civilian rule. the army took control friday after the president was forced from power. >> people are very concerned, scouring the newspapers. who is going to lead the government? people have misfeelings about the g

east jerusalem to prevent further violence and daily scuffles between israeli forces and palestinians over the past few weeks and palestinians are saying that israel is looking to change the rules of who can worship at the mosque and they issued separate statements on thursday and have called on palestinians to take to the streets following friday prayers. on the increase in security comes after an israeli man who was critically wounded in a car attack in west jerusalem died. a palestinian man had driven his mini van in a crowd of pedestrians on wednesday and was then shot dead by the israeli police and we are joined by occupied east jerusalem to set the scene for us and tell us if the palestinians have heeded the call by the palestinian factions to come and support the mosque. >> that's right, a very sense situation here in occupied east jerusalem, i'm standing at the damascus gate which is a main gate leading into the old city which houses the mosque and as you can probably see behind me there is a very large security presence here with israeli police and check asking people going i

we are just outside damascus gate the entrance to the old city here in occupied east jerusalem. people have been coming, trickleing in freely as i said to you, it's the least i have seen certainly in covering this area over a couple of years in terms of police presence. so i think it is a message that the israelis are trying to give that they are trying to calm the tensions here. we know that access to the mosque has been restricted over the past two months. they closed the mask for the first time since 1967, a huge deal. and of course that pressure from the israeli right wing groups trying to get access to pray. this is a red line for palestinians and indeed for muslims around the world. we have heard those words at that ti-lateral moving saying that they are giving guarantees the status quo will not change that this will not happen. but it's a very complicated situation on the ground. it's about the mosque but also about people that are frustrated. people telling you that they are living under occupied. everybody here they don't get the same services, education, settlement con

the problem is attackers come from an area east jerusalem that is under israeli control. they are blaming hamas and the palestinian authority for incitement. clearly they will come down harshly on anybody connected with the attacks in east jerusalem. but they still don't have any idea if the attackers had any affiliation with hamas or any other militant organization. >> john kerry, the u.s. secretary of state, is in london, he is meeting with philip hammond. thank you, ben. >>> turning now to the battle against isis. the terror group beheading of peter kassig leaves just two known western hostages. one is british journalist john cantlie. the other is a 26-year-old american woman. cnn's erin mclaughlin has more. we have not seen much from cantlie in days. almost acting as a war reporter under duress from isis. what do we know? >> reporter: that is right, christine. we don't have an update on their condition. this latest isis video which features the beheadings of the prisoners and the beheading of peter kassig is different from videos past. it doesn't feature the next vict

now, they are focusing on the neighborhood in east jerusalem, a palestinian neighborhood. the two perpetrators in their 20s are cousins. they were, of course, killed just outside that synagogue in the morning. we understand that there are large presence of security forces at the moment. the israeli police spokesperson say they arrested nine people involved in riots with the israeli security forces. now the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said israel will use a firm hand to punish those behind this attack. now he and other israeli officials are pointing the finger of blame at hamas and also the palestinian president abbas for incitement for the tensions around on the temple mount. an area where we have seen cl h clashes for some time. christine. >> ben wedeman for us this morning. escalation of tensions. a tense situation. >>> turning to the battle against isis. the islamic terror group beheading of peter kassig leaves just two known western hostagho. john cantlie and a 26-year-old american woman. cnn's erin mclaughlin is live for us from london. >> reporter: chri

. >> outside the damascus gate, in east jerusalem, is calm. the situation before friday prayers was anything but. there are hundreds of riot police and other security forces in this area and in front and around the old city and they barricaded many of the roads leading into this area. there was a group of palestinian men who were under the age of 50 who wanted to try to come in and pray. they were refused, however men over the age of 50 were allowed to offer prayers and women were as well. although the situation here in occupied east jerusalem remains relatively calm we are hearing of some skirmishes in some neighborhoods. but in the occupied west bank at the colondia checkpoint which is the main checkpoint which crosses from the occupied wercht bank, we understand a number of those protesters are been injured in those clashes. so although the situation here where i am now is much calmer than it was earlier on friday, the situation elsewhere continues to be very tense. >> mts tayeb reporting. zachary, he's in our studio tonight, zachary welcom

truth is when you look at israel's settlement expansions in the occupied east of giroux jerusalem. it's a very jewish area, it's where 70,000 housing units already had, homes around 200,000 people. most agree that whatever future settlement is reached between the israelis and the palestinians this will very likely remain in israel. still, it just under scores the tensions and indeed the divisions between the israelis and the palestinians, the pal steps of course see the occupied east of jerusalem as the capital of their future state. the israeli government and indeed the israeli prime minister has often repeated that he sees jerusalem as the unified capital of israel. whatever the case, this will do very little to calm the tensions that we have seen not only on the streets of the occupied east of gentleman ruus legal jerusalg over to israel and the indeed the west bank as women. this is just add to this tension that his we have seen seeing. >> we also know that u.s. secretary of state john kerry is meeting with the palestinian leader, mahmoud abbas in jordan in amman in particular.

this issue which has been brewing here in the occupied east of jerusalem is very quickly becoming an international concern. we have heard jordan raise concerns to the u.n. security council, we have the e.u. foreign minister here, and the white house has also expressed concerns. so there's a lot of pressure now on israel to calm things down here, and the measures they have been using heavy security forces and policing ak -- tactics doesn't seem to be doing the trick and one would imagine that's why we're hearing these appeals for calm. >> the increase in so security comes after an israeli man died. a palestinian man had driven his car into a crowd on wednesday and was then shot dead by israeli police. >>> three people have been killed in the latest anti-government protests in egypt. a teenager died and three policemen were injured during fighting. a second person was killed during a scuffle in cairo. a third died when gunmen opened fire near a check point. al jazeera continues to demand the immediate release of its journalist. peter greste, mohammed fahmy, and baher mohamed are falsel

and east jerusalem is under israeli control. it's not a no-man's land, but there is a constituent authority in east jerusalem. and you don't have the kind of organization. that's why it's so volatile. >> israeli human rights organizations have a long list of documentation on the discrimination palestinians face. as you mentioned, there is no presence of palestinian parties or any representation. that is why when you said when israel takes some of these decisions, what we're seeing are lone wolf attacks that are very deadly and have impact across the region. >> thank you. >>> civil rights icon is calling for massive protests in ferguson. if the officer who shot an unarmed 18-year-old man is not indicted that story is ahead. i got it. now jump off the bridge. what? in 3...2...1... are you kidding me? go. right on time. right now, over 20,000 trains are running reliably. we call that predictable. thrillingly predictable. ameriprise asked people a simple question: in retirement, will you have enough money to live life on your terms?

police shot the assailants, to palestinians from east jerusalem. the palestinian authority distanced itself from the violence. >> we strongly condemn this incident and did not accept attacks on civilians. we condemn the attacks on the a mosque and other holy sites. >> israeli security forces entered the east jerusalem neighborhood. they surrounded the assailants' homes and detained relatives. tuesday's attack could herald a spiral of violence in the middle east conflict. on the streets of gaza supporters of hamas hail the attackers as heroes. >> for reaction from the israeli government least both to paul, a spokesperson for the foreign ministry agreed he accused hamas of creating a mood of incitement that led to today's killings. he described the situation in jerusalem following the attacks. >> as you can imagine, emotions are high. it is not every day 2 butchers with knives and weapons go into a synagogue and butcher for people -- 4 people. there has not been an attack of this nature for many years. emotions are very high. the first thing the lead

these two men are two palestinians in their 20s, cousins from the palestinian neighborhood in east jerusalem. they entered not only with knives, axes, a handgun, it also appears from the pictures, they had meat cleavers as well. they starts to attack the worshippers. four of them were killed when these attackers were leaving with the synagogue, israeli police only took seven minutes to arrive on the scene. they engaged and killed these two attackers. now, we understand, as you mentioned, that three of those victims were -- three of the dead were israeli american citizens, dual nationality. the fourth is a british israeli national as well. so the fbi is going to become involved in the investigation. we don't know what british authorities are going to do. now, it was roundly condemned, this attack, by secretary of state john kerry, and the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, who said that israel would come down with a firm hand on those who were behind the attacks. now, he's blaming, in part, the hamas and the palestinian authority for what he calls incitement, to attack israelis in je
