Most here believe israel he extremists murdered the 16yearold boy to avenge the death of three israeli teenagers abducted earlier this year. At the funeral, the boys mother fainted, falling to the ground, and masks man vowed to exact revenge. I have a message.

Hundreds of palestinians have been injured in the fighting over the last few days, and today israeli officers were hospitalized. Over the past few days we have seen violent clashes at the protest of the murder of the Young Palestinian boy. Putting it in context, the funeral there, you motions emotions are running very high. The confrontations are usually very intense. The Israeli Security forces had stun grenades fired. They threw stones. We are getting reports now, negotiations underway for a ceasefire in gaza. What more can you tell us . It is unconfirmed, about the ceasefire in egypt is brokering to go back to the terms in place in 2012. Hamas officials have declared they are not really interested in a confrontation. However, they have moved more troops to the gaza border. They have also said they will defend themselves. I think in the next few hours or days, we will be able to tell if this is really going somewhere. When we look at the palestinian side, it seems hamas has been calling the shots politically and fatah has been remaining in the background. It is a conflict between hamas and the israeli government, and i think the Palestinian Authority is still dealing with the aftermath of the Israeli Military operations in the west bank and the abduction and murder of the teenagers, as well as the murder now of the palestinian boy. There is much criticism by the public over the Security Cooperation with Israeli Security forces. They have to be very careful now. Also related to this is the reconciliation ross is between hamas amnd fatah. Which is hanging in the air right now. Thanks so much, from jerusalem.

In germany, the ongoing revelations about american spying on everyday people, as well as on the chancellor, has given new life to calls for extended funding for the stasi archives. The house literally tons of archives. The old communist regime tracked phone calls, letters, and even the most intimate personal conversations. Many say the archive is vital so many will never forget how a totalitarian government can seek to control people through surveillance. In january, 1990 hundreds of protesters forced their way into stasi headquarters in east berlin to prevent secret police from destroying files. The scale had been in mens. Stacked sidebyside, the documents would stretch 150 kilometers. Even today, 5000 people a month apply to look at stasi files. We have to process this information because the people who experienced dictatorship are still around. It is important to explain how the dictatorship work. The next generation needs to know that. It is important to keep the files available. Funding for the Stasi Records Agency is guaranteed until 2019. The commission is looking at what happens after that. Access to stasi files and processing them are requisite for continuing the important task of working through the communist dictatorship, a view shared by the majority of parliamentarians. Looks like the files are set to remain accessible to victims arnd researchers. When we come back our correspondent travels to Uttar Pradesh and visits a mother whose daughters were raped and welcome back. Counterintelligence officials arrested one of their own spies for working with washington. The double agent was apparently hired by the u. S. To get inside information on the Parliamentary Committee investigating americans buying activity on the chancellor and spying activity on the chancellor and citizens. The Chancellors Office says it is not taking the incident lightly. A new source of friction between the two countries. Several major newspapers reported the man was suspected of passing on information about the very Parliamentary Committee investigating the nsa spying operation. A committee whose meetings are supposed to be confidential. It is also reported the man work for germanys foreign intelligence agency. German parliamentarians are furious. If the suspicions of spying are true, it would be and unheardof attack on our parliamentary freedom and institutions in general. There could be absolutely no justification for that. The government was reportedly informed of the allegation on thursday. This prompted an immediate meeting of the Parliament Tree control committee, which oversees the secret services. We have known since thursday about serious allegations against a german citizen. The federal prosecutor has taken on the case, and the man is in custody. The federal criminal police have been tasked with further investigations. Should be charges be proven, the case would be a further blow to u. S. German relations. Is it a olin bilateral relations . Lets bring in john barrick a new low in bilateral relations . Lets bring in john barrick. Is this the first time an american double agent has been arrested . This is more than unusual. This is a bizarre story. It reminds me of alice in wonderland, wendy hatt when the hatter said, you would have to be halfmad to dream me. I have to emphasize that reports in the media that the man was working for the nsa, that he received his orders directly from the u. S. Embassy here in berlin, and that he received at least one payment of 25,000 euros for supplying 280 documents on a usb stick to the americans, have yet to be confirmed by the public prosecutor. We are still waiting for confirmation. The nsa affair has been going on for quite a whaling. So far it is not noticeably affecting the relationship between Angela Merkel and barack obama. Is this arrest going to make a difference . Rex Angela Merkel has a reputation for being a pragmatist, and in 2013 when documents released by Edward Snowden suggested that her phone was being tapped by the nsa she was visibly furious. I was at the press conference, actually, when she expressed her reaction to that. On the other hand, we did not see a dramatic deterioration of americangerman relations after that. That is because merkel is convinced smooth relations between washington and berlin are in germanys interest. But now the story enters an entirely new level. John barrick, thanks so much for that update. The former media adviser to british Prime Minister David Cameron has been jailed for 18 months. Andy coulson, seen arriving at court friday morning, was convicted of complicity in the hacking of mobile phones by journalists. At the time he was the editor of Rupert Murdochs news of the world, which has since stopped publication. Journalists looking for scoops illegally tapped into the phones of countless targets, including government ministers, celebrities, and even a murdered 13yearold schoolgirls parents.

The suspect allegedly were protected because they belonged to the same caste as the police. The bodies were prevented from being taken down from the tree until police arrived, forcing a real investigation. At the familys account is being questioned and they had to take lie detector tests. The village elder says the events had nothing to do with caste issues. What people need is better education, he says, perhaps even university. There are only men in his circle. Ask women in the village and you will likely hear it is time for men to change their attitude. Nobody wants to listen to us women. If we go to the police they say, who are you .
