. >> announcer: this is al jazeera. ♪ hello and welcome to the news here with steve in doha and stories this hour a window of opportunity may have been opened as the west senses a chance to end the nuclear war with iran. the u.n. security council agrees on a draft resolution. more claims blaming climate change on manmade warming and an emotional farewell to one of new

york's longest players and presidential elections and we are live to london for analysis later in the program. ♪ but first there are two main issues dominating talks at a high level summit in new york and optimism that progress may be being made on both iran's nuclear program and syria's chemical weapons issues. agreement reached on a draft resolution to eliminate syria's stockpile and landmark talks between the united states and iran raised hopes of resolving the on pass of nuclear activities and kristen in new york starts of coverage. >> it was the most highly anticipated entrance at the general assembly, mohamed joined

the permanent five members of security council and germany hoping to end years of deadlock and sour relations. the presence of u.s. secretary of state john kerry made tit highest level meeting between the countries in decades and the european foreign policy chief described the talks as substantive. >> having them come and openly talk was a change in the dynamic engagements with that and had an opportunity to put their points of view and the atmosphere was have very positive one. >> reporter: there was a timetable to reach an agreement over the controversial nuclear program. ashton said she would like to see proof they are not working toward a nuclear weapon this a year and iran said they would like to move faster and eliminate the sanctions that crippled their economy. >> we believe that sanctions are

counter produck tiff in addition to being not founded in law and as we move forward there has to be a new role of sanctions and in the end it has to be a lifting of sanctions and unilateral sanctions as well as multi lateral and u.n. sanctions and hope to move in the direction within a short span of time. >> reporter: he and the american counterpart describe the meeting as positive but kerry remained cautious. >> we agreed to try to continue a process that we will try to make concrete and find a way to answer the questions that people have about iran's nuclear program. needless to say one meeting and a change in tone, which was welcome, doesn't answer those

questions yet and there is a lot of work to be done. >> reporter: the group meets again in geneva on october 15th, the last deal they offered iran remains on the table, scaling back enrichment activities in exchange for some relief from sanctions, they say it's now up to the iran government to respond, kristen with al jazeera the united nations. >> and we have a professor at tehran university and told us this is the first time both sides have been positive about making some progress. >> it is indeed a very positive start from the government. i believe it is for the first time after more than a decade of deadlock over iran's nuclear talk for the first time the two sides seem to be happy, seems to be hopeful that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

i could see that from what the iranian foreign minister said after the first round of talk, mr. john kerry said and william hague, everyone seems to be very hopeful, as far as i can remember, during the past ten years, it is for the first time that every side is happy. leaders realized that the sanctions is not aiming to a strategic objective which is preventing iran from developing its nuclear program and sanctions make iran people to suffer, that is the only result sanctions has had after ten years. iranian, the new iranian president mr. rohani promised during his campaign he will definitely do something about the economy. and mr. rohani knows he cannot

do anything about the economy unless he does something about the sanctions. >> reporter: well, to syria and the united nations security council may vote on friday on a new join resolution. i think that is today to ensure the destruction of syria's chemical weapons and helen force a u.s. russia plan and we are at the u.n. >> it has taken days as they worked on the exact language of a resolution but now the permanent five members of the security council have come up with this draft, they have shown it to the other ten members of the security council, now this is a draft resolution that doesn't threaten the use of force, it's not a chapter 7 resolution, instead this is a resolution that threatens another resolution which would threaten the use of force. the problem with that of course is that if there was that second resolution it could always be vetoed by the chinese and russians. the next step things move from new york to the hague and the organization for the prohibition

of chemical weapons and they are the people who will go in syria, they have got to then decide that they are happy with everything and things could move back to new york as early as friday afternoon for a vote on this draft resolution. i understand that stomach foreign ministers are staying here in new york, the russian foreign minister is certainly staying, he wants to be around the security council table when a vote is taken. >> reporter: plenty at stake and will this pave the way for talks on the broadest syria issues and let's get the thoughts from a middle east analyst who is live from london. mr. perry should we, do you think, be calling this in quotes the headline word breakthrough? >> oh, yes, definitely. this is a breakthrough for the first time after 2 1/2 years, the two super power sitting together and being managed to draft a compromise for the syrian five, the syrian chemical

weapons. so nobody expected that to take place. definitely the americans are not insisting to use force, the russian also are not insisting that they can deem three not to apply with this any u.n. resolutions so this kind of compromise i think it will pave the way for geneva conference too about syria. so i think it is a new understanding between the two super powers and definitely it will reflect on the situation on the ground and i believe that enemy of the russian and american is not assad, it's actually now the radical groups, al-qaeda affiliate organization on syria itself, so that is why we can see this sort of compromise. at the same time the atmosphere, the atmosphere of reconciliation solving the problems in the middle east by talks, not by force. and we have seen that there is a huge progress in the iran nuclear five so this i believe

the iran and syrian five are related. >> reporter: so is it related to the diplomacy between the united states and iran? >> oh, yes, definitely. i believe it's flexible, the american and russia were very flexible so now as i said they want a political sentiment in syria and the same thing they want a peaceful settlement for the iran nuclear five and today when you see the smile and the face of john kerry the secretary of state on the united states, when he met his counterpart, you can see it is completely differ atmosphere. it seems there will be some sort of reconciliation and more talks, it will be a truce when it comes to the syrian nuclear -- sorry syrian chemical weapons and iranian nuclear program. so i think it's a new atmosphere taking place in the middle east. >> reporter: the headline as you all have seen, the headlines

that will appear i'm sure, is the united nations agreed to a deal to force syria to hand over weapons. but then the devil as always is in the detail and the detail is if the united states and russia can agree. >> yes. steven you know that, nobody has a stomach to war. nobody would like to use force because it is very, very expensive, very costly and it could not solve the problems. so everybody is thinking about how can we get out of the deadlock and reach a settlement. this is the headlines and the headlines, the best headlines will be the breakthrough and no war, it is talked to peace and a truce at least and al-qaeda and devil and the details and assad survived and he will be in power for a year or two years and no more threats to use force against him by united states so he will comply with the

resolutions and the russian will force him to comply because in difference to chapter 7 of the united nations chapter it's clear that if you don't comply with the resolution we will get together and issue another one and the chapter 7 and the force will be used against you. so i think everyone will be happy with this kind of breakthrough and it will be definitely a different middle east at least for a while. >> barry, good to get your thoughts and thanks for joining me from london. >> okay. >> reporter: and that is what is coming up, on this al jazeera news hour and live in sudan where dozens have been killed during four days of protests and rising fuel prices and amnesty is calling for restraint and sweden and thoughts of the world's scientists who is to blame for global warming but does anybody believe them?

and allegations of tax fraud, details coming up. the president condemned the attack on a kenya mall and called for help to fight al shabaab and mohamed described the group as a threat that must be fought politically and economically and a need for an expanded the african union force inside somalia. >> we must enforce it and expand it, investment required for then hansment into significance compared to the great expense needed later if the international community does not help finish the job right now. >> reporter: let's go to

mogadishu, if they are shocked by the attack at westgate mall has al shabaab do you think miscalculated the level of its support? >> well, that's perhaps not it, they will be looking at the history of international involvement here and perhaps hoping to provoke greater and heavy handed response by the kenya because in the 90s when the americans were involved and again in 2006 when the ethopians invaded and al shabaab was the focus of a lot of national list who saw them as an opportunity to push back against foreign involvement and having said that there is a deep-seeded sense of frustration here and anger and disappointment at the westgate attacks and let's look at what we found in the streets of mogadishu yesterday.

he understands the attack and in one bombs this year he lost his restaurant, two staff and his nephew. his daughter died in another. the blast that took his business was aimed at a passing government official, the suicide bomb detonated the explosions in a car outside the restaurant. he has heard al shabaab's justification for the westgate attack and says it's hyprocacy. >> translator: they are punishing us for killing somalia but what did we do to be punished? >> reporter: he showed me the second-hand concrete barriers around his office they hope will fend off would be assassins. >> translator: this is not military, it's religious war and we need qualified, well-trained

individuals. and i think we don't have that intelligence and professional, we don't have it. >> reporter: sympathy for victims of the westgate attack runs deep here, you don't have to go far to find people to complain of what they say is al shabaab's hypocrisy, take hundreds of thousands of people for example who were forced to run from their homes from the policies. in the shade of the cathedral the animals wait for food and the family fled here a year and a half ago during the last drought after al shabaab refused to let agencies in. and the experience of the westgate attack still came as a shock. >> translator: i feel really bad for them. we expected here because we don't have a good government that can protect us but there they do have a proper government, i never thought it would happen to them. >> reporter: and so the city of more than a thousand kilometers from westgate feels the pain and

also learned difficult lessons that they believes that kenya would do well with. peter, what happens next in somalia and i wonder whether there are any signs that the kenyas will retaliate to westgate mall with military action in the country? >> indeed, we are getting reports from intelligence sources and sources in western kenya who told us there is evidence that the kenyans are building up military capacity with armored vehicles and the main staging post for military operations inside somalia itself and there is a problem here and that is kenya is a part of the african union mission inside somalia and control the southern sector. the rest is controlled also but the northern and central sector where we are now is by uganda and they are stretches to the limit and not seen them conduct

tur ther operations from alesha back in the past year or year and a half because they do not have the capacity to advance any further. the supply lines are stretched to the limit, so it's a difficult situation for them and can't act without significantly more military equipment, more hardware and more men and after that they need more support from the united nations. >> reporter: many thanks indeed, peter. and arrest warrant for a british woman linked to the al shabaab group at kenya's request and samantha is the widow of one of the four suicide bombers who attacked london on july 7, 2005 and wanted for possession of explosives in 2011. and they have not linked the arrest notice until the mall attack but british police are reported to identified her as one possible suspect. a bomb has gone off on a bus in pakistan killing at least 17

government workers, explosion happened during friday prayers in pashowa and 35 civil servants were wounded and last sunday a double bombing at a church killed 82 people. let's get more from the english news international and on the line now, and police say the explosive device was hidden in the back of the bus, is that your understanding? >> yes, the police officers are saying that it was hidden in the backside of the bus and it was then triggered with a remote control device and they are saying the person who triggered the device was somewhere nearby, that is why a search operation was launched and nobody has been arrested and the police is also saying that about 12 rounds were

used in the explosion. the death toll is 18 because one of the injured has died and about 35 people have been wounded. one of them is a woman and some of the employees were actually sitting on the roof of the bus and that is why there have been so many people killed and injured. >> reporter: many thanks for that latest from pashowa. security is being tightened in sudan's capitol and 29 people were killed in four days of violent protests and they began after government lifted subsidies on monday and doubling the price of fuel and amnesty has forces to stop using arbitrary and unlawful force against protesters. well, let's get the latest from

hariot martin and bring us up to date on what you know. >> well, we are expecting more protests today after friday prayers. how big those protests are going to be is really not clear. social media which is now back on after a 24 hour internet blackout over the last couple of days is very busy but not clear how many people will actually turn up in the streets and they suggest it's going to be big. one of the tweets i read said this is a make or break day for sudan. the thing we really don't know yet is the impact of the number of deaths. the government put the number of deaths and protests on wednesday and tuesday at 29 people. amnesty international has a report saying it believes at least 50 were killed and then protesters themselves, the activists and opposition groups are putting the figure over 100 and that is an enormous figure and 29 is an e near mouse figure

for people to die in protests and we don't know how much fear will hold people back from actually going on to the streets. >> reporter: they did try and cutoff the internet, didn't they, to try and suppress the word being spread by social media? >> yeah, there was a 24 hour internet blackout and again social media, the activists on social media are talking about that happening this afternoon but it has not so far. so we don't know again what impact that will have on the size, whether or not that will actually limit the procyst and it seems unlikely and there is a sense we are being told there is a sense that there will be a big protest and what form and where it will take place is not clear. >> hariot thanks for joining us. pakistan told al jazeera it's struggle to get aid to people of the earthquake because the roads are impossible, 359 are

confirmed dead and hundreds more injured and thousands made homeless in the providence and they said it's likely to be a week before aid gets through to the more remote areas. and al jazeera is the only international news channel with a team in the worst effected area, and correspondent joins me now from a war district, the epicenter of the quake, can you bring us up to date not just what happened during the earthquake but of course the relief operation afterwards as well? >> well, the relief operation was going to be the biggest challenge from the word go because of the logistic difficulties, because of the difficult road conditions here and the fact that there are also security issues and that is why it took so much time. but for the first time in 72 hours that relief has finally

started to reach the far flung areas in mongoli district which is 40 kilometers from town and however it takes 3-4 hours to get here and shows you the difficulty but the pakistan military is starting to distribute aid for those who need it most. the people lost everything. and their mud homes are demolished because of the earthquake and most of them are taking shelter and difficult conditions but the military finally beginning to reach those remote regions that is the first difficulty. but as we can see, and you can see they are coming and trying to get the food supplies and water supplies. this is little help for the time being but the hope is that more and more supplies will be able to reach the far flung areas. most people here had to cope on their own for quite a few days.

>> reporter: you talked about security issues and of course you are pointing us towards the insurgency that is there and that explains why the relief agencies did have problems getting relief and aid through, and that leads to the roads as well and told the head of the pakistan disaster management authority was attack as he tried to survey the area. >> well, that is true and areas that are strong points of the insurgents and, in fact, we are standing in one of those and the military which is now busy with the relief effort is in full combat gear with guns and flag jackets however because they have been given the difficult task and because they are the most suited for this particular mission, that they are now fanning out across this particular region to try and reach the region.

so those security challenges are a major concern and of course will remain a major concern throughout this crisis. >> reporter: thanks for joining us, very difficult conditions in a war district. let's take a look around the world at the weather picture. >> thanks very much steve and a small consolation and the sun is shining in pakistan and heavy rain not too far away and we have an area of low pressure swirling away and big downpours here and widespread flooding coming in across the region. over the next couple days i'm hoping to see the weather turning dry through saturday and sunday. this area of low pressure goes further east for sunday so hopefully we will get a chance to dry out. we have got some very heavy showers all the way into the northeast of india and arisa and up the eastern side of india and big downpours in bangladesh.

and on the other side we have seen extremely heavy rain, flooding problems here as well. in thailand, it's been tipping down, for much of the monsoon season and pour and 27 places have been flooded by the rains, mass evacuations taking places and nine districts are flooded across the country and thousands of people continue to flee from their homes. you can join up this line of hef showers through thailand, running across cambodia and through vietnam and they are seeing big downpours in the area of low pressure which is now a tropical storm. yes, the philippines continue to see more heavy showers driving in here through the course of saturday as this tropical storm continues to filter in heavy rain and it will slide further east as we go on through sunday but notice it stays very wet. >> reporter: thanks very much.

still to come here on the news hour, fishermen in northern canada are enjoying bigger catches than ever before because of climate change. plus. >> i'm john in chicago where former gang members blame the city's high homicide rate on a cowboy mentality. >> reporter: we look at hooliganism after a football match. ♪

♪ welcome back, you are watching al jazeera, and iran foreign

minister is looking to break the deadlock on the nuclear dispute within a year. the prospect of a game after talks between the united states and iran since the revolution in iran in 1979. there has been progress on syria at the u.n. u.n. security council could vote later today after agreeing on a draft resolution of syria's chemical weapons. and a new report on climate change says it's extremely likely human activity is responsible for global warming and it's the strongest message from the world's top scientists on what may be hind the average global temperatures. and terry is in stockholm, terry, the last major report by the ipcc was criticized for a series of errors including one claim that the himalayas, the glaciers would vanish but is

this expected to be more accurate? >> that is to one of the senior members a few minutes ago and he said this time they are more careful in sourcing information and didn't have the kind of data that had conclusive evidence at the end of which they could say with some certainty and greater certainty this is the case and left it out and have not wanted to say too much if you like in areas where they don't have a certainty around it. that said, they are more certain than ever before that human beings and their activities particularly the burning of fossil fuels is cause gz climate change and the climate change will have far reaching and deep consequences in decades and centuries ahead and one of the areas they looked at in the report in some detail, more data than ever before is the polar regions and particularly the arctic ice caps. now, that has, we have seen a great reduction in the cover of

ice and also the volume of ice in resent years. i think we have got a little graphic prepared just to show how dramatic that has been. late in the 1870s when the records began the ice cover in the arctic was around 11 million square kilometers but it drops away and starts to drop and by the beginning of the century it's below 9 million kilometers and 7 years it's below that each and every year. last year was a record low, just 3.4 million square kilometers and bounced back to over 5 this year. i want to ask our guest to bring in the conversation at this point, david vaughn from the survey, david is there anything we should feel any relief if you like out of the tact that the arctic ice has expanded this summer? >> we had a record low in 2007

and that was followed by you used the word a bounce back, a couple of years when the cic wasn't so depleted. and this 2012, last year was another record and maybe this is another bounce back and we don't get anything from looking at one year and scaling against last year with the ice. the ice comes and goes with the seasons. so if we look at a 30-year record we have an unbroken 30 year satellite record and we can see the ice is actually on a downward trend. some projections we have suggest that by the middle of the century we will have an essentially ice-free arctic in the summer. >> why should we care if the ice goes in the summer and comes back in the winter, is that a problem? >> the arctic ice is one of the signals we are seeing in the arctic. and they are showing us there is a high elevated area of warming

across the arctic, reduced snow cover and ice is reduced and the glass is diminishing and the green land ice sheet is losing ice in the oceans and causing some part of the sea level rise that we see. >> is it fair to say this report you wanted to be more certain about the things of which you are certain and perhaps leave out some of the comments in areas you are unsure about? >> we are cautious to calibrate the statements we made and have a code by what we mean by extremely likely or very likely or just likely. and we try to use scientific methods to code those. i think this makes the statements we are making that much clearer. and actually that much easier to defend. >> thank you very much for your time. there is a lot of looking into this report a great deal of detail and many aspects of the

environment and the climate and the of course the next step is for government and businesses and individuals really to get to grip with what the report has in it and perhaps what they can do to choose one of a number of outcomes which could result from the current conditions. >> thank you very much. a fisherman in canada are enjoying catches because of climate sun and ice free environments have a commercial industry for the first time and we meet a man enjoying a bounty in the eastern arctic in canada. >> beneath the steel ice free and warming waters ofinterland sound more fish than ever before. we will go from here. >> reporter: a great first catch for peter on his new maiden voyage and this is a species local that just began to catch in resent years. now a longer ice-free season is

helping build a commercial fishery where once people just finished for food. >> we tested the lines and fishing grounds in cumberland south and i'm glad to say that with the effort of everybody we did catch quite a bit of fish in a very small amount of time. >> reporter: machines at the fish processing plant prepare the fish for export to east asia, bigger boats catching more fish mean dozens of jobs in a place where most are unemployed or work for the government. >> it kind of falls really well into a traditional lifestyle and so if people are able to use some skills that they have always had and apply them to a job, then that is something that will probably be of more long-term benefit. >> projects like this newly

built craft harbor and this fishing peer show they are taking the commercial fishing seriously but those warn looking fortune on what is essentially a global climate crisis may be premature. in the western arctic and alaska commercial fishing has been halted until scientists do more research on the least understood echo systems on the planet, the polar seas. >> that is a precautionary approach and in international law is when you don't understand it you study it before you start exploiting it and that is what we should do. >> reporter: canada is cutting funding for research and many of those who live if the hash environment want to seize what arise from climate change as they confront the challenges. daniel lack al jazeera. >> reporter: well let's go back to one of our top stories, the crisis in syria. we are hearing that opposition groups are trying to break an

army blockade of rebel-held areas in damascus, for a year suburbs have been choked by assad's forces and means food and medicine is cutoff from the people who live there. and eight agencies are warning of the risk of mass starvation and we have the story in buiruit. >> he wants to find food for his children, relief organizations say more than 4 million syrians and half of them children do not have enough to eat. there is a humanitarian crisis in many regions but it's particularly dire in the suburbs of damascus and opposition-controlled country side of the capitol is under siege by government forces for almost a year. people there say children are malnourished as food is

increasingly hard to find. >> translator: dying is better than living the life of humiliation and no food and nothing left to eat and on top of that we are dying of hunger. >> reporter: the suburbs are some of the hardest hit of the war and also the site of the august 21 chemical attack that a u.n. report found included the use of the nerve agent serin. they are trying to push out rebels a few kilometers from bashir assad's power and managed to stop advances in some districts what are now effectively blockaded but the rebellion around the capitol is still not defeated. the rebels are maintaining defenses in some areas but their

main arms supply routes into the suburbs were cutoff by the army a few months ago. nevertheless rebels are trying to block the army blockade. >> translator: we set up a joint command to over see the battle for damascus and country side and called on brothers to achieve the goal and we want tond the blockade. >> reporter: but activists and people who live in these besieged areas have little hope an assault would end their suffering and want food and medal supplies to reach them so they can stay alive. eight agencies are pushing for parties to agree to cease fire so assistance can reach those in need and prevent the risk of what they are warning could be mass starvation. al jazeera, beiruit. >> reporter: back to sudan and the protests over rising fuel prices and how the country is trying to rekindle the economy after the split from what is now

south sudan and the demonstrations started on monday after the government cut subsidies as part of it's economic reforms and led to a doubling of prices to $1 a liter and police say 29 are killed and rights group but they put the figure higher and i'm joined by a director of al jazeera's center of studies. can you explain perhaps the demonstrators want to over throw the government, a student shot dead, why did everything get to this boiling point? it's not just about fuel rises, there is a broader context here? >> yes. it would not do justice trying to understand what happens if we look at it from the perspective of the latest increase of basic surfaces and stuff. >> reporter: fuel, right. >> we should look at it in the history of context and historically sudan under went

two previous up rising that toppled two dictators before 1964 and 1985 and if you remember sudan is part of the arab under protest and revolutions during the last two years. sudan under went very difficult political past during the last two years and we have wars going on where political stalemate between the government and the opposition and on the top of that we have the economic difficulties. and --. >> reporter: right up to date because sudan lost what 70%. >> of the oil, yes, because of the oil. >> reporter: and it happened and that is the main cause now of the unrest on the streets. >> yes, but remember also. >> reporter: or driving force. >> the government tried to

address that and in a way it denied that it would have an impact and south sudan said it won't have impact on life of the people and sudan went and denied for sometime when people started to realize that, no, it will impact. and especially the prices of all the basic necessities of daily life and people have been impacted and the price has soared and inflation increased and after that the political establishment of the country. >> reporter: i want to move on to the lead of the opposition and he is calling now for peaceful protests and a general strike so more like you see in some western cities, peaceful, general strike, so withdraw of labor. and sudan's opposition parties have that in the past as you know had a reputation for being to put it politely disorganized

and more protests are expected what type of protests do you think can we expect? >> the last four days and the protests although it was mainly by youth, students and people from schools, but it was over shadowed by violence and i'm not saying violence only from the side of protesters although activists are accusing the government of orchestratiing soe violence to isolate the public but government side violence was very high. i mean you mentioned figures of tests and government talking about 29 deaths and opposition groups put that as high as 5 times the number, talking about now close to 160, that is the human rights groups and activities and opposition political parties.

so the violence is there. the opposition now, the political opposition now, they have the challenge in front of them, either they take part in this protest, maybe offer some sort of a leadership, and put it in a peaceful political protest and increase the pressure against the government. if they stay behind there is a risk the government might be able to try and isolate these as violent protests that are targeting public utilities and that might -- remember the history of sudan in all the cases normally we find intellectuals whether judges, lawyers, university professors, doctors, they came to the front of leadership. this time around, we see young people protesting and they are asking where are the leads.
