one man has been killed as over 1,000 migrants storm the channel tunnel in calais but first turkish jets have been bombing kurdish fighters in the mountains of south-eastern turkey. this will be the first time in this offensive that the kurdistan workers party, or the p.k.k. have been attacked inside a county. previously they've been targeted inside iraq. now n.a.t.o. says it backs turkey's fight against i.s.i.l. but urged it not to abandon the peace process with the kurds. bernard smith has more now. >> reporter: turkish f-16 fighter jets don't have too far to fly to hit new targets i.s.i.l. over the border. this was last week. they don't have further to go to target an old enemy many kurds are angry and frustrated that the turkish government seems to equate the threat from i.s.i.l. with the threat from the p.k.k. here, a mainly kurdish city, in south-eastern turkey, representatives from more than 18 non-governmental organizations have been meeting. they are working out a joint response to what they fear is a threat to the already fragile peace protest between the p.k.k. and the government. >> translation: we call on the people, the kurds and the people of turkey to show solidarity. the only way to do it is to stand up against the policies. >> last month most of these people were celebrating the electoral success of pro-kurdish h.d.p. winning a seat in -- 8 seats in parliament for the first time. >> now turkey's president was to lift the immunity of m.p.s suspected of being linked with what he called terror groups. recep tayyip erdogan is questioning the talks with the p.k.k. can carry on. >> i don't think it's possible to continue a peace process with those that take aim at the national security and brotherhood in this country. >> recep tayyip erdogan says having embarked on an offensive against terrorism, turkey will not back off. we can go live to bernard smith, our correspondent who is there in the area. that kurdish majority city - as parliament meets in this special essential, it seems as though the kurdish community wanted to hang on to whatever scraps of a peace deal remains. >> yes, and what is particularly interesting about the emergency parliamentary session is it will only be the second time that the 80 members of the h.d.p. appeared in parliament. they were lected only won their seats back in june when the h.d.p. managed to get over the threshold getting them representation in parliament. the ground is set for what could be a combative parliamentary session. one senior ruling party, the a.k. party official accused the h.d.p. of doing nothing for the peace process since it got into parliament. they are interested in peace, but not interested in a coalition, because there are talks between the various parties to see if there's a power-sharing government that can be achieved because it does not have enough to rule on its own. the leader of the aft kp called on all sides to put down the guns to talk about peace, where it continues. the defence minister will turn up. he'll give a statement to parliament, to the assembly and they may be able to ask questions afterwards. recep tayyip erdogan himself seems hawkish. he is the one that seams to say that there's no point to continuing with the peace deal with the kurdish community. i'm wondering how many members of parliament will be supporting him and following that kind of line. >> yes, there were hawkish comments from president recep tayyip erdogan but a slightly more conciliatory line came out from one. deputy prime ministers. he's in charge. he's from the a.k. party, in charge of the negotiations with the p.k.k. and he says that the p.k.k. needs to stop all the actions and leave turkey. he says they have not. one of the difficulties these days for the p.k.k. is once upon a time it was very disciplined organization from the top down. we understand that in recent times, it's become a bit more fractured. so there are youth groups allied to the p.k.k. that are responsible for the low-level incidents that have been over the years in turkey there have been kidnappings on behalf of the p.k.k. there has been road checkpoints set up. there's a policeman set up yesterday. there hasn't been a major offensive like a hole there's a problem of smaller groups acting independently. >> okay for now. bernard smith live there now the israeli prime minister

the beit-elsettlement. two were demolished there after a supreme court ruling. the government failed in a bid to legalize the comflint. israeli settlements are illegal under international law.

to my stomach. >> our stomach was empty. it hurt, they did it again. >> it was part of a hunger strike in prison, protesting against prison conditions, some were force-fed, two died. because liquid got into their lungs. it was the last known case of force-feeding, that could change. force feeding is a controversial issue, it could become law. supporter of the bill moderated the language to get it to pass. crucially, it faces strong opposition from israel's medical community. this is a social meet yaing campaign -- social media campaign by physicians for human rights. they'll never execute a law telling them to force-feed prisoners. this is one of them. >> this is whether to save life or not. the discussion shouldn't be whether to - whether it's dangerous or not, but whether it's ethical. whether you can demand from a musician to do something against his belief, his religion, against his medical ethics. >> we put that to the team drafting the bill. >> our law is not about force-feeding, but medical treatment. we wanted to be provided as necessary. it will be at the doctor's discretion. we will not force the hand of any doctor. thereby they will begin force-feeding, but rather with lighter treatment. if they need to force-feed. it will be after they come to the medical conclusion that it will save the patient's life. >> no prisoner died from hunger strike in israel. there'll be little prisoners can do if it becomes law and they are force-fed. >> they have to take us, be patient. resistance has many facets. we don't expect mercy from the enemy. it's been 35 years and days since then. >> he said force-feeding is not about saving lives, but breaking spirits. others could become a real and legal future. pakistani police say they shot dead the leader of the banned
