>> welcome to the news hour. we're live at al jazeera as news centers in doha and london. the u.s. and russian agree on removing chemical weapons from syria. in colorado record rainfall and mass flooding. iin the philippines in the south the end of a six-day stand

off. >> reporter: with news from europe including drumming up support, the 100,000 people protest against austerity in warsaw. >> an agreement at last, russia and the united states have reached a deal to rid significant i can't of its arsenal weapons. it took three days of talks in geneva, but secretary of state john kerry and his russian counterpart foreign minister sevgey lavrov. >> russia and united states agree with a plan to put syrian chemical weapons out of use. secretary john kerry said he wasn't under any illusion, but the job can be done. >> the world will expect the assad regime to live up to its

commitments. as i said outside of these negotiations, there can be no games, no room for avoidance, not anything less but full compliance from the assad regime. >> reporter: what if he doesn't comply after three days of talks with secretary of state john kerry, foreign minister sevgey lavrov watered down the u.s. agreement. >> we understand that the decisions we have reached today is only the beginning of the road. >> reporter: these are the key point of the u.s.-russian plan. syria must submit a former list of stocks and locations within one week. international inspectors must be able to begin their job in

november. and the goal is 2014. neither man spelled out how to achieve such an ambitious mission. and any should any threat of u.s. force has become almost meaningless. the deal in geneva has not gone down well with syria's opposition. >> we think that the russians and the syrian regime are playing games to win time for the criminal regime in damascus. we think that our friends in the western countries and the united states know exactly the main goal of the russian administration. they are trying to find a solution for the military regime

in damascus. >> reporter: as syrians continue to die in dozens each day by conventional force the promise to remove chemical weapons from the battlefield will not shift the balance on the ground. but a wider peace conference just might, and that is something now being discussed off the back of the negotiations in geneva. maybe the talks are to bring russia and united states together on syria after two and a half years apart. al jazeera, geneva. >> well, foreign governments have reacted to the deal. french minister said we're worlds apart. the two are mittin meeting for n paris on monday. the united nations in new york and has more on the international reaction. >> this deal is a deal that would have been unthinkable a week ago, and we're getting a

welcome from capitals all around the world having said that when the u.s. and russia do a deal, it's a done deal. it becomes a reality, and the only option really is for world leaders to welcome it. i think behind the scenes there is a little bit of unease. we know what the u.k.-french mission was. they wanted a security council resolution here at the united nations. with this sort of deal with the tight time frame, but they also wanted built in to that resolution the possibility of the use of force so if in any way assad breached the deal, this it would automatically and legally allow for airstrikes to begin straight away. i think you've got to look to a possible scenario where days away from now, weeks away from now, months away from now there is a potential breach. the western nation say that is a violation. the russians will say no, that is just a technical difficulty.

if they take it to the u.n. security council to try to get military action, russia is likely to use their veto again. >> meanwhile, two syrian rebel groups have formed a joint command to increase control over aleppo. they're continuously asking for support from the west. the groups still so largely fragmented. >> reporter: celebrating the merger, opposition fighters have joined forces against president bashar al-assad's troops in more than syria. >> the merger is the main demand of all fight necessary syria. we need to be reunited. >> reporter: these are fighters sent to support other factions.

the group has been instrumental in making rebel gains in alep po and the north over the last two years. >> merger under unified command by doing this we'll expand our reach and have a bigger military role. >> reporter: the general commander of the free syrian army. he's seen here on the front line of aleppo. his job is to bring anti-assad fighters under one command. this is his biggest challenge. fighters from the front, an all quite offshoot blacklisted by the u.s. the fighters say the goal is to establish an islamic state after the down fall of president assad's regime. right now they have no control

them. in attempts to reach out to major groups, the most powerful group, has shaled. they describe the free syrian army as a gathering of warlords. but one thing that most rebels agree on, damascus is where the most decisive battle will take place. but the capital is controlled. they initially joined the free syrian army, but on the ground they remained largely independent. [ gunfire ] for the time being units like this one prefer to launch attacks on their own. in this case captured in an army garrison in a province. but rebels know that their final push to capture damascus and force assad out of power may never take place if they

remained fragmented. al jazeera. >> all right, for more now on what the syrian opposition thinks about the six-point deal agreed to by russia and u.s. to rid syria of its chemical weapons, anita, the syrian opposition, disappointed. >> oh, indeed they are. all of them whether we're talking about the political representatives in exile based here in istanbul having shifted back from cairo, many of them, and the free syrian army command, the supreme military council who don't represent all the groups fighting on the opposition side in syria, but represent the groups that talks perhaps most closely to the western and gulf powers. they're all extremely disappointed with this american-russian deal on almost

every level you care to mention. they don't believe it's a genuine deal. they believe the russians have cooked it up--their words, not mine--to try to buy more time for the assad regime in damascus. they don't believe it's achievable. it's just too difficult a task, and more importantly they feel themselves abandoned by the west as the civil war rages o using conventional weapons. the refugee crisis continuing unabated, so no, they're not impressed. not impressed at all, and they've been saying so in statements in turkey during the last few hours. >> yes, in the last hour, anita, we heard from the new prime minister of the national council, how significant is his appointment, and what does he have to say? >> well, he's made a statement in the last hour, a fairly

neutral one. he hadn't himself personally addressed the issues you and i have just been discussing although it's safe to believe that he's similarly unimpressed. what is interesting about his appointment is here is another man jointly at the him of the syrian coalition, an organization that finds enormously challenging to stay together and speak with an unified voice. the previous man in his position resigned saying he just could not get the job done. therthere has indication of a st and focus. this new man is very much backed by saudi arabia as opposed to his predecessor who was viewed back more by qatar. he's also a long-standing member of the syrian opposition, but unlike many of his partners in the syrian coalition he fought

for increased democracy and human rights inside syria from inside. since being a part of the damascus declaration in 2005 he has been in jail three times and only escaped syria for turkey in the last few months. we don't know exactly when. he won't be accused as so many others have, for being out of touch of the needs of syrians inside the country. >> thank you. as the fighting continues inside syria, thousands of syrians leave the country every day. hundreds of refugees traveling by boat have arrived on atoolan shores in the past few day's loan. the coast guard intercepted 800 migrants, many of them t believe syrian. in other world news hundreds of people are missing from the u.s. state colorado following the worst flooding in decades.

dominick hanes reports. this is what happens when rainfalls for two weeks. motorists trapped in their cars, and rescuers trying to free th them. >> i have to pray, because i want to survive 1234 across >> reporter: across colorado meanwhile are missing. >> we're in a searc search and e mode at this point. there are several communities surrounded by water and people have not been able to drive out. now that the sun is up we'll be able to use the helicopter to lift them up and bring them in. >> reporter: many residents have not had power or water for two

days. days of flash floods have made it resemble an inland sea. and everywhere tales of desolation abound. >> it's just all gone. >> reporter: jeremy just managed to get out with his family before his house was washed away. >> by the time we got in the car and got the car started, the water was coming up the doors, and we couldn't come out of the driveway. you can see there, that's the car. >> reporter: emergency crews say the damage is the worst because the vast volume of water has surged down from the nearby rocky mountains. >> many, many communities in our western mountains are completely isolated. there is no road access, no power, no water. >> reporter: this flooding is the worst to hit colorado for more than 30 years. and it's prompted president obama to approve a federal disaster assistance request.

that will release funds to help with some emergency protection. but it cannot easily undo the damage that's already been caused. dominick hane, al jazeera. >> all right, still ahead on the news hour, riot police move in to end a protest by mexico can teachers. and why sharks have been off the menu in some hong kong menus. if this is a boost to the conservation efforts. and we have laliga action coming up later in sports. >> soldiers in the philippines are pushing deep in rebel held territory to indiana a six-day

stand off. thousands of people have been displaced. al jazeera reports. >> reporter: the uncertainty has brought a strain on this family. after escaping the fighting in the village she now struggles to feed her children. we line up before dawn just for food rations. that's not easy. this is how we sleep, on the floor. my kids don't even have blankets. >> reporter: many families here tell the same story. >> tens of thousands of people have already been displaced since fighting began nearly a week ago. many of them are living like this, in tents with barely anything to eat, drink, and with no clear idea as to when they can go back home. the resources of the fell beans government are stretched. it's unable to provide enough assistance for the thousands of people who continue to arrive here every day looking for food, shelter, and medical assistance. fighting between the philippine

government and rebels has killed dozens of people. government forces are pursuing the fighters in several suburban villages. the rebels are holding dozens of civilians hostage. >> this is not an issue of religion, for we have coexisted peacefully and worked harmoniously. this is an issue of people with misguided principles. >> reporter: the mnlf is demanding a 1990 peace agreement that was signed with the philippines government but never implemented. it proposes peace talks with islamic fighters. a cease-fire had been announced but the military did not observe the reported cease-fire saying it was following issue orders id

by president aquino. the fight has not stopped. for the people here all they want is to be able to live in peace. >> at least 23 pool have been killed in a suicide-bomb attack in northern iraq. it happened during a funeral for a member of iraq's minority in the nineveh province. protests and the rest of the lines from europe. >> reporter: that's right, the protests were the end of fur days of demonstrations in poland. they want the end of reforms and improved public sector wages. >> the protest reflects widespread public gloom over this year's sharp economic slow

down in poland, and the government's popularity is at its lowest level since the president took office in 2007. hundreds of protesters descended on warsaw, and they have the support of the majority of the public, including t according tn polls. while the union have a long list of grievances their anger is set on pensions. >> our situations is getting worse. our government won't listen to our words, so we want to today to hear us, hear our protests, and we want today--they know that they governor not very good.

>> reporter: the unions are calling for a higher minimum wage and improved job security particularly for young people. >> we are here today because in the words of our anthem it is better to stand dying than to live on our knees. >> reporter: tasks majority are now down to a fragile 232 seats in a lower house of parliament. the economy will recover, and dismissed ideas of a snap earlier election. >> finance ministers from across the european union are in talks. slits have emerged over a controversial proposal for financial transaction tax, part of a series of measures to tackle the problem of failing banks. it's proposed by 16 of 28 nations but the european nation is dismissing, and claims it may be against the law.

>> the commission is confident in the legality of the transaction tax we have propos proposed. we reject any claim that it goes against or compromises the market. >> the police in britain have arrested five people in connection with a suspected arson attack, which killed a mother and her three children. detectives say they can't rule out the fire was a revenge attack for an earlier murder. the woman and her three children all died in the fire in the early hours of thursday morning. it came hours after a man was killed in a nearby street in the city of les lesceister. i asked about the impact of the deaths on the community there. >> i think it's shaken the whole community as a tragedy of huge pro potions, and the whole city

is rattled first with the murder of this young man, and then followed by this arson attack that has killed four innocent people in the most horrific manner that we have not witnessedded in this city in a long, long time. >> how unusual to have two horrific crimes take place in such a short amount of time. >> it's completely unsuspected and something that has shaken everyone. now there are things that are under the surface which have not come out yet. that could be reason why the arson attack took place. that speaks not very well for community and resolutions in the area and the city. i think people in the city have lost their focus on which we had on developing and promoting good resolutions for a long, long time. i'm afraid they've lost the

focus and things under the surface do not seem t to have ge as one would like to believe j of course, we have to be careful linking the house fire with the murder investigation. the police have ruled out that the victims of the fire would have played any part in the attack that took place earlier. nevertheless, they're looking at loose connections. what are the people in the community telling you? how could this impact race relations? >> it would have a reverse impacts on the area if they are connected, and then we might be in for a difficult time. >> teams in russia continue to search for survivors after a fire at a psychiatric hospital.

34 people are confirmed dead and many more are missing. the hospital, which is more than a hundred years old, and built mainly of would failed a fire check earlier this it year. that's all we have from europe right now. we'll pick up with support ahead of germany's election. >> let's head to egypt, former president mubarak is back in trial. the trial has been. adjourned until november when many officials will testify. the judge has ordered immediate blackout. meanwhile rallies are being held across the country to mark since the military broke up two protest camps in cairo. protests are demanding

legitimacy an of president mohad morsi. more than an one people died when morsi supporters were cleared from two sit-ins august 14th. businesses and schools shut down in india. the widespread closures from ordered by oppositio by opposit. there has been controversy over the man that india's main opposition party has chosen as it's candidate for prime minister. some say that he has a strong economic record that could benefit the country. others say he fails to contain elementreligious riots that lef0 dead. >> the main opposition party

finally have a reason to celebrate. the party has chose an leader to spearhead its campaign next year, and this is the man who people in the party think will steer them to victory. >> i will work hard to achieve victory. i will keep working for the hopes of the common man and meet the expectation of the party workers. >> and if modi can convince hundreds of voters, he'll be india's next prime minister. he has built a big fan following in his home state, and he has been credited with turning it into one of the best performing areas in the country. >> i think the party has taken the right decision at the right time. modi has been approved more than

others. now with the election just months away it's natural for any party to choose the leader that is most popular. >> but many people question whether modi can get elected. in 2002 this riot questioned his leadership and some people accuse him of not doing enough to prevent or contain riots that targeted muslims in his state. at least 1,000 people have died. >> the kind of political division he has pursued he's very steadfastly followed politics which is further widening the social division in india. he has not practiced the politics of secularism which has been off indian government. >> but election victory is still a long way. the vjp has been in opposition for almost ten years.

and in a country as diverse of india, they'll have to do more than just secure the hindu vote to return his party to power. >> still ahead on the al jazeera news hour, patching up a serious health problem, how a high tech remedy could help prevent tuberculosis. >> in jamaica we'll look at voters attempted by the far left and the far right. >> and the new kid on the block, riders who make history at the san marino track. details coming up. do stay with us.

hi, my name is jonathan betz, and i'm from dallas, texas, and i'm an anchor for

al jazeera america. i started in a small television station in rural arkansas. it's a part of the country that often gets overlooked. but there are a lot of fascinating people there, a lot of fascinating stories there. i like that al jazeera will pay attention to those kinds of places. what drew me to journalism is i like the idea that we are documenting history. al jazeera documents it like none other. and to be a journalist, and to be part of a team like that? that's an incredible blessing. >> welcome back you're watching the news hour on al jazeera. russia ha and u.s. have agreed n an agreement to remove syria's stock pile of chemical weapons. meanwhile in the head of the

opposition syrian free army said it is just to give time to assad regime and they're ignoring the massacre of syrian people. in colorado seeing the worst flooding in decades, at least 40 people have been killed. we employ to a syrian specialist at a think tank. thank you for being on al jazeera once again. what do you think of this deal? do you think this is a game-changing moment in the syrian conflict? >> it's more of a confusing moment. i think we're in danger of losing perspective. there has been a revolt against the regime that has been there for over 47 years, and now we're being diverted to a game. there have been mentions of game, senator secretary kerry

mentioned games and the opposition mentioned games. we're being diverted into chemical weapons, talking about russian relations with the united states. personality clashes between putin and president obama. it started with--almost with a game of poker where the bluff of a military intervention was quickly exposed-- >> you say a game of poker and bluff. we heard president obama say in a statement if diplomacy fails the u.s. will prepare to act. has the u.s. lost face? >> well, i think president oba obama's threats are no longer

effective because he's backed down. it's moved from poker to chess to snakes and ladders. his threat is to move to the security council. i mean, that's where we started off with the failure back i in 2011. in the meantime what we're see something increased militarization on the ground, which will creak a lot of problems in the transition period post assad and syria. we should be looking at post assad. now we're looking at a deal that will guarantee assad at least another couple of years. >> n an adim shehadi for joining us from bay root. let's go to our news center again, angela merkel is making it clear she will not consider an alliance with the new party.

>> merkel is talking about the alternative party. they might be about to win their first seat, one of the smaller parties contesting the election, and as reports in senio eastern germany some hold extreme news. >> we're in scherwinn germany, a place where many voters are tempted by political extremes. they call themselves the left. more than two decades after german reunification the anti-capitalist, anti-n.a.t.o. party is reaching out to the next generation of voters. it's at home here that while it accepts democracy, it grew out

of the communist party ran by the east german dictatorship. this voter is out of a job, and out of unemployment benefits. she blames the big parties in berlin she says don't care about the little people. >> the world state no longer exists. it hasn't for a long time. it doesn't feel like we live in a democracy, that we have any way of changing things, or that the people are being listened to. >> around one in five voters cast a ballot for the left party in the last regional elections here. but there is another option for those who are not satisfied with the political system, that's the national democratic party, although one in 20 voters cast a ballot for them last time round, there is some shame because of

this country's nazi past. this member of the regional parliament said his party just wants to help people in need, especially the poor, as long as they are german. >> we want germany for germans. we're not against foreigners, per se, we just have to look after our own people first. >> to make that point the npd olds ralliepdhold rallies tellim seekers are not welcome. they could still drain votes from, say, chancellor angela merkel's party. the left party is expected to win seats, maybe 10%. but it's considered so beyond the pale that no matter will oh

form a coalition with it. a long shot unless the coalition leaves other parties no other choice. on the next stage of our tour we'll go to bavaria to meet anglega merkel's governing commission. >> he's biking across german, as you can see, and we'll have more on his reports. next we'll be in bavaria on sunday, don't miss it. heading to spain, the police arrested four hell's ankle anges smuggling cocaine from canada. now with operations in place for savaging the coast ca

concordia. it is scheduled monday morning. 32 people died when the concordia hit rocks 20 months ago. the ship will be broken up for scrap. that's all from london for now. >> thank you, sharks, finish, and bluefish tuna are off of many menu. hong kong will stop serving the delicacy to set a good example. >> on the rooftop of hong kong, business is booming. hundreds of shark fins are die. the last to be sent out to restaurant. the finishe fins are a delicacye government has long demanded that the shark be struck from

menus. sharks are caught, stripped of their fins and dumped over board to bleed to death. the practice is not only cruel but dangerous. >> we could see extinct of some of the species very soon, not in 50 years, we're talking five or ten years. >> so the celebration for decision of the hong kong government, no more shark fins. it's a significant step. hong kong accounts for half of the sales of shark fins. blue fin tune in, and also on the list. the decision in hong kong reflects growing movement around the ethics of food. last year the u.s. state of california made illegal in restaurant. the food is produced by force

feeding ducks and geese until their livers expand. similarly activists are trying to raise awareness. but the most exclusive could have any in the world, the cat is fede fed exclusive food of ce and it's feces roasted. causing unhealthy conditions for the cat. >> jill, good to have uneager. how do yoyou onal jazeera. what do you think of the announcement. >> the announcement made in hong kong, indeed, is viewed as

a very positive step forward for shark conservation. sharks are in trouble. there is no way about that. with 100 million being killed every year, the fact that the hong kong government is taking an official stance on this, and not allowing any of their government officials to consume shark fin soup at banquets, it's sending a huge message. hong kong is the world's hub for the trade in shark fins with 50% of the world's fins passing through hong kong at some point. to have the government out with an official position to say that shark fin soup they few as not sustainable is hugely encouraging. >> this is not enough. what needs to happen to raise public education and awareness of sustainability? >> clearly there is always more that can be done by governments. the announcement by the hong kong government follows a

year of very significant progress for shark conservation on a couple of levels. one n march of this year many countries around the world came together in the international convention and listed seven shark and rays species as species needing international protection to make sure that they're not endangered. that is a huge advance forward and the u unprecedented species that were listed. in hong kong the civil society in hong kong is acting. there are a number of restaurant, a number of businesses in the financial sector, a number of five-star hotels that have pledged that they will no longer allow shark fin soup to be served as part of their official banquets. >> are there statistics in place to allow consumers to know exactly what they're buying or eating? >> right now there is not.

and so i think that's exactly why the hong kong government took such a broad expansive move with suggesting that no sharp fin is consumed. there are over 400 species of sharks. it is very difficult for a consumer to know that the shark that they're eat something perhaps critically endangered. right now scientist versus assessed that a third of all shark species are threatened or near threatened with extinction. the move that the hong kong government did in the example that they're setting is one being taken up by consumers, businesses, and so it really does, it's a game changer for shark conservation. >> jill, thank you for talking to us. jill hepp of the shark conservation. thank you for your time.
