>> hello, and welcome to the news hour. i'm stephen cole, al jazeera headquarters in doha. these are the top stories. after the siege al jazeera goes intinside kenya's westgate cent. and turkey reforms, but leaders say they don't go far enough. coordinated attacks create more carnage in iraq. six people have died.

and barclays restrict many abroad. we'll talk but how that is impacting somalia. first, al jazeera has been inside nairobi's westgate shopping mall for the first time since the hostage crisis ended. the government is facing intense scrutiny of how it handled the attack. and leaks of years ago of such an attack. andrew, you've been inside the mall, what did you see as you walked inside the main entrance? >> well, initially it did not seem like a place of death, a placing of investigation. i walked through and many traders, business people all coming in to try to retrieve their belongings, walking

through the rubble. it was a scene of absolute chaos inside, but methodical operations by the fbi investigators who i saw. i didn't speak to them. then i walked through the entrance, left arts art cafe, that's right on the balcony at the front of the building. devastation obviously there. there had been a lot of clearing up going on. i moved through this to the first floor and saw a number of shops. everywhere you looked shards of glass, blood on the floor, dried. the smell in the air because of the food that was devastated and the hint of smell of bodies, but nothing intense. i then moved to the north floor and i could see the bird's-eye

view of the investigators in the rubble of that collapsed car park that had gone down in the center. >> there are reports that there are numbers of people missing. you detected when you walked in roughly the smell of death. the m macabre question, did you see bodies? >> no, absolutely not, and i hasten to add that it was a faint accident. the scene i was looking the thrh a smashed door on the roof of the building. then i looked down on the scene. it was if a bomb had dropped on that building. colossal damage. an earth mechanical digger was

going through the rubble, the cars sprayed around like toys amongst this rubble. it looked like a vacuum bomb, certainly nothing small. the entire roof had collapsed. amongst all of this, it was not forensic operation. just this digger moving in, clearing the rubble, also above that a number of cars just teetering over the edge. that was where i saw four investigators, whether they were fbi or not, i don't know. they're in forensic outfits taking photographs of one car. whether that one car was relevant, i would assume so, but from there i moved down to the super market itself basement level and then the center. and the supermarket was devastated. if there had been anyone in there, they certainly wouldn't be alive now. devastated. that was the key question.

was that damage done by the attackers or was it done by the defense force? it could be irrelevant if there weren't any hostages inside, and i didn't see any evidence of any hostages. i really didn't see any strict security. it didn't seem like a forensic sight. we'll try to bring the picture later that are being processed. and really i couldn't sense the somer nature of the events because of the routine job going on, the shops being cleared, and as you probably heard there are reports of looting and the kenyan government have confirmed three people are under investigation. they have been arrested, accused of looting. and three store owners complained of looting. it's hard to think that that happened after a colossal

tragedy after this. we did go the swiss shop that had obviously had been raided. it was a clear armor glass, and the door bent back and all the stock cleared. it seemed evidence of a job, and very expensive watches there. but the key point about bodies is this: there seems to be some sort of disconnect between the kenyan red cross and what they're saying and what the governmen--andwhat the governme. i could walk away and i wasn't challenged. it didn't seem that there were any bodies being recovered, and the kenyan mps were going around the building as i was going around the building. they were not looking forensic

about it. just a familiarization of what was there at any given time. those mps will be grilling the intelligence and security chiefs in parliament on tuesday. as far as security goes, it's quite lax. my photographer was not in because he had a camera with him. i was able to go through. i didn't tell any lies. i didn't di disguise the fact tt i was a journalist. i had my al jazeera identification. they may have taken me as a diplomat. i am a journalist and i see no reason why the media are not allowed in the building right now. >> andrew simmons in nairobi. thank you. a team from the organization of the prohibition of chemical weapons is expected to arrive in

syria today. an inquiry into the attack last month determined that the agency sarin was used, but i the report did not say who or what used it =fplt united nations meetings to doediscuss getting humanitariand into syria. james, what do you know from the council on humanitarian aid? >> reporter: we know it's being discussed in a couple of hours time. this is something that u.n. officials have been pushing for for months. it's hard for aid officials to get into aid into syria. the hardest thing of all is to get aid in.

it's statement is not legally binding but has more authority to bring in humanitarian aid. we already know from a number of interviews given including one that was given on al jazeera on friday, that he's not going to compromise in president assad's role. that he has to stay. >> thank you. >> turkey's prime minister is reaching out to minorities with radical changes with laws spanning from politics to culture. the percentage of national vote

needed by party would be reduced. that would allow smaller pro kurdish parties to have more political influence. some schools would be able to teach in schools other than turkish. and an institute would be set up to focus on turkey's roma population. why are they pushing for these changes? >> we will announce and declare a set of procedures. these procedures will not be the last and followed by other procedures to increase freedom in democracy and turkey. and steps to boost turkey as a diverse turkey.

>> addressing grievances with the pkk and minority groups. any response yet? >> yes, i'm outone of the headquarters of one of the biggest kurdish groups here in turkey, basically they're summing up in advance to the prime minister's proposal. the sign reads we want constitutional acknowledge that kurds do exist in this country. they also want free education. not only in private school but public schools using the kurdish language. they want the freedom for the ppk jailed leader as well as other ppk leaders.

and the only solution to peace is negotiation. so they are not ruling out negotiations to agree on peace with the pkk or the ppd. >> can i widen it now. i don't suppose you can hear me over the music, but it seems to be removing a major bank of the secular system. that won't go down well possibly in brussels thinking of e.u. membership, will it? >> yes, i think they will hate it because it will be seen as releasing and allowing more freedoms to more people. but the prime minister were adamant that the changes of his

government were there for the last several years, and-- >> well, we won't know, but we'll find out in the next few hours when we cross over to omar again at 1400 hours gmt. he's reporting against a pack ground of celebration. in yemen officials are suspected o of al-qaida fighters. it's unclear how many people were killed. the lawyer for belgium man arrested for spying for israel said the allegations against him are untrue. ali mansouri of iranen descent, he's accused of entering the country under a false name and taking photographs of an u.s.

embassy. a meeting comes as relations seem to be improving between israel and iran. but israel say they cannot be trusted. >> this seems to sum up b up the relationship with israel. threats by president obama and rebuke by benjamin netanyahu. the president's recent speech at the united nations might have made it tough iter. he appeared on pressuring israel on what he says are his top two priorities. >> these two issues: iran's nuclear program and israel

israeli-palestinian peace would have a profound and positive impact on the entire middle east in north africa. >> on iran the president is not talking about attacking but talking, putting the focus on a diplomatic solution. but president netanyahu made it clear what he wants. he wants a red line drawn. a threat of bombing of their facility sooner not later. >> he's upset that it has been taken off the table. >> the election and american media blitz by iran's new president seem to have made that an easier sell, at least for the american people as he has consistently been described as a

moderate. >> of course they don't have ahmadinejad. he was the gift that kept on giving for the iran haters and the chest thumpers around the world. the joke in tehran, and maybe it's not a joke, with the departure of ahmadinejad, the israelis lost their best agent in tehran. >> now israelis may fear they're losing their biggest backer for military strike. mr. netanyahu will push for tough words for a definitive timeline. if he doesn't get it. relationship might look less like this, but this once again. patty colhane, al jazeera, washington. >> 7,000 government employees could be sent home on tuesday if u.s. politicians fail to agree on a budget. details coming up. plus-- >> we keep finding carcasses of

elephants. poachers using cyanide. >> and in sport the man who brought the football world to africa, well, he starts his new job. >> there's ban series of bomb blast across the iraqi capital of baghdad. 16 people have thought to be killed and more wounded. caroline malone reports. >> reporter: this is one of the deadeadliest attacks of the day. the car bomb went off in baghdad. >> the explosion happened here. many people were killed. many cars were burned and many workers and poor people died because of this. >> reporter: while people scrambled for help, at least four blasts hit other neighborhoods in parking lots and an outdoor market.

crowded places that have resulted in a large number of civilians injured and killed. security has been tightened across iraq as violence claims more and more lives. even the north earn can yo kurdh reason was hit on sunday. >> there is a need for political approach to win over especially those people in the area they feel they're marginalized. mainly the arab sunniys. also now what is happening reflects the increasing role by some of the iraqi kurdish leaders in syria, especially in the kurdish syrian area.

it has become so linked that whatever happens in syria will effecaffect iraq. >> reporter: 5,000 people have been displaced within the country this year. joining more than a million others for many previous others of violence. caroline malone, al jazeera. >> a suspected drone strike in afghanistan's border. three people were killed and one other person was injured. there with been a thousand protesters rallying in sudan calling for omaral bashar to go. the government cut fuel

suddenicies. and in protests 33 people have died. we're live from khartoum. so the president now not just under pressure from people power, but political pressure, too. >> absolutely. there has been condemnation from his own party, people saying a bit off the record, a bit anonymously saying these subsidies, the cutting of these subsidies should not have happened at the moment. and we're hearing there is pressure on the president to try to retract that. however, we're also hearing officially from the government that that's not possible. many people within the government will tell you with all that loss of income that we got since the north split from the south sudan, and 75% less in oil income, that's the only way out of the current economic crisis. >> what is the feeling there? do people expect the president

to ride out this storm? >> well, i think people are still wondering what's happening next. we just heard actually from th e interior minister where they told us all along from the beginning of this crisis. they blame the protests and riots of early last week on a few foreign elements. they said that certainly they're not protesters, there were not peaceful protesters. it was all organized to create chaos. they point at the extent of damage that happened during those two days mainly tuesday and wednesday. they say up to 40 pet traditiona40 petrolseparations

stations were blown up. and if you speak to people on the streets? not everyone believes the full version of the government. there is a feeling that there was an excessive use of force used, but people are wondering what will happen next. people will tell you that in the next ten days leading up to the holiday are very curb here. some of the activists are afraid that actually after the ease of the momentum could phase out, and what they call the wish would be a second revolution would completely die out. very critical, but still not clear in what direction this country would go, and how the government would react. >> in khartoum, thank you. italian prime minister is facing a competence vote. it comes afterberlous sconey

resigned. we go to rome. >> reporter: now reaping to go to parliament on wednesday to try to gain a vote of confidence in his government. therefore a lot of political maneuvering, a lot of planning to work out which are the best possible options to save the government, stop it from being dissolved. giuseppe, what are the solution that's government should be looking at? >> on wednesday there will be a confidence vote, and what they're trying to do is reach 24 votes they need for support. the problem for this plan these 4 votes will be coming from different political area. as far from the far left t, and

it's possible they'll give the confidence. this will be okay for the short term. the government will be operational again. the problem is in the medium term when they need to find a new balanced law, it's not clear when they'll have hom homogeneos control. of course not least, members of the berlusconi's party, they'll need to work out what their options will be. >> a prominent indian mp could be the first forced to resign after embezzling millions of dollars. he's accused of being involved

of fake orders for cattle feed. millions in india are living in dangerous buildings, and many are put up illegally. one of those buildings collapsed and several died. they will try to stop illegal buildings, but not everyone will benefit from that. overcrowding forces people to live in badly built homes. >> what can we do? those are the words that they had. they lived with their three children in this cramped one bedroom apartment they bought 12 years ago. the 500 residents of this block have been served with an eviction notice. the building is illegally constructed and now may be unsafe. >> if we don't have a home where will we go and what about the

children's education? everything is connected. we live hand to mouth and without a roof over our heads, where will we go? >> they gave everything that they had to have a home of their own. they're not the only ones. 85% live in illegally constructed buildings. many have been given notice that they will be destroyed. pro government officials are standing strongly for evictions and demolition despite the effect of their own party. >> i cannot afford to live. leave them alone to fight their own body. i have a social responsibility towards them. i will not any agency to build

illegal houses. >> in april, a building collapsed and killed over 70 and injured over a hundred. this is all that is left that have building and those illegally around it that were knocked down after the incident. the government's proposal is to have annuitant regulator welcomed by those in the industry with people's participation. >> but more than that, there has to be stringent norms. it has to be followed. >> in 20105000000 buildings were estimated to be illegally constructed, and only 11,000 were demolished. if families have to be evicted no one has answers of where they

will go and how the area will be rehabilitated. >> al jazeera's online new spotlight page. that www.aljazeera.com you'll find content featuring graphics, galleries and photos from india. that's a pretty good site to click on to. now a pretty good weatherman to click on to. here's richard. >> meteorologist: and don't forget the excellent weather payable as well. well worth looking on to. across europe we have unsettling graphingraphics over italy overe last 4 hours. it's really the result of this frontal system. the boundary, the greatest

activity of rain in this particular system. look at the temperature contrast. and the difference of 20 degrees. we should be seeing 22 degrees in bucharest, and the rain just drags the temperatures down and down. so very heavy rain during the course of tuesday. there will be some improvement on wednesday. we'll ease off further to the east. slight improvement across parts of romania, but still looking wet here. we have fair amount of rain over parts of india. through also parts of of heavy rain, those indian monsoons looking very active at the moment with flooding possible. >> thank you. in zimbabwe, we'll find out why

more elephants are being killed than ever before. and more on messi, we'll have that bad news in sport. s2úq@eñsx

>> you're watching al jazeera. al jazeera has been inside nairobi's westgate mall for the first time. a scene of chaos and say investigators are still at the scene. blasts across iraq's

capital. and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu will meet about presidenwith president ob. >> barclays bank said it's complying with new regulations intended to stop money laundering, but many say it creates nor problems than it solves. >> collecting a pension from a money transfer agent. every two weeks her brother in london sends $100. he's always careful to check for forgeries. in this crippled economy it is their own income. but unless you can find another way of getting money, this will be their last point. the money buys enough food to last but it isn't always enough for things like clothes or medicine. now one of britain's biggest banks, barclays, says there is

no way of knowing if some of the money being sent to somali is being laundered or used to finances terrorism. so it stopped the payment. >> it will be a big problem for us. many somalis depend on the transfers. no one gives us a single dollar. we live on what my brother sends. with that gone i don't know what we'll do. >> the economy is made up of cash transfers. and a third of that comes from britain. there is no doubt that the money transfer system is flawed and some illegal money makes its way through but supporters say somalis have always used their networks to move money around. to shut it down means driving it underground. with an imperfect system. >> to work around the problem experts and agencies met in

nairobi. the biggest of the companies said it is willing to work with the authorities to find better ways of regulating the transfers. >> after the u.k. government, the community we serve, other u.k. citizens, they have a right to send money to their family. if there are issues, then they have to address by working together by the banks and money service businesses and the communities. >> reporter: back in somalia the economy has continue it had defy the analysts and thrive despite war and famine. but unless a solution is found soon hundreds of thousands of people will have to find other ways of staying alive. al jazeera, mow dis mogadishu. >> over 800,000 jobs in the public sector could be affected, the republican-controlled house

wants to control key parts of the obama's healthcare. key areas at risk include closing smithsonian museums and all national parks. pension, vets and disability payments. and halt to visa and passport applications. let's get details to libby casey in washington, d.c. outside of america very few people know or think how can a government completely shut down, and is this inevitable? >> well, it is sort of a quirky feature of our system of government. it didn't use to be this way but now it is the case unless congress can come to agreement, it will shut down. let's talk about airports. there will still be air traffic

controllers. there still would be tsa or security screeners, but non-essential staff might be told to stay home. so there could be slow down. this does have real-life ramifications. now is it inevitable. we're watching the close. it's midnight in the east coast when we hit this deadline. the republicans are insisting on changes and delays to the healthcare law. the ball is in the court of senate democrats. they say no, not happening. we're not willing to sacrifice the federal healthcare law to keep the government going. they're not tied together. they are two separate issues. the question is if house republicans, some very conservative, will walk away from the cliff they're looking over, and agree on a clean funding bill without changes to the healthcare law. that's the essence of the question that we're watching over the next 15 hours or so.

>> in other words, who blinks first what is at stake. >> you mentioned pension benefits and such. while many benefits will continue to get paid. those who would be entering the system for the first time, that would be on hold. and the federal jobs, the ripple affect. if many communities in the washington, d.c. area are very dependent on federal jobs, many people work for the government and even contractors who are paid and connected to the government. there will be communities that would have this ripple affect because restaurants might have to close or travel agents might have trouble. it's not just those jobs. then you turn to another sector, say national parks, and there are many in the tourism industry that are connected to those. a shutdown could last to two

hours, days, weeks. congress may have the incentive to come back to washington and figure this out, and harm it out. there is no guarantee that it would last for. the real question is how lengthy it would be. a short shutdown, not a lot of impact. a longer shutdown could have a very serious impact. >> libby casey reporting from washington, d.c. thanks, libby. the phase against giant oil bp is about to start. it's rig exploded in 2010 leading to massive environmental disaster in the gulf of information. they will determine how many billions of dollars bp and it's partners will have to pay in environmental fines. two canadians being held in egypt without charge have had their detention extended for 45 days. they're on hunger strike and say

they've been subjected to abuse. but their tactics are not new. many have been arrested and held in prisons since mohamed mors mi presidency has been toppled. earlier this month a french citizen died after allegedly being beaten to death in his cell. the canadians have now been held in the high security facility for six weeks. >> john and tarrack have spent the last six weeks in a cairo jail without charge. now the two canadians have had their detention extended. they're on a hunger strike and their families want help. >> any kind of charge stating that they are involved with muslim brotherhood is ludicrous. we provided extensive

documentation showing their credibility, their citizenship, their plans, travel documents, etc. >> they were arrested on august 16th during a turbulent week. in a statement smuggled out, they say they were arrested, searched, interrogated, beaten, stripped, and accused of being mercenaries. they're being investigated for possession of camera gear and a small remote control plane found in the hotel room. grayson is a filmmaker and the other an emergency room doctor. they were on their way for humanitarian work and got stuck in egypt. they werthey aretheir family ane

people march here and others blocking the highways. there are 14 federation of wildcat miners around the country. this is between 100 to 150,000 miners who have pledged this strike today. what they want first and foremost, the government stops the operations. what the police is doing especially here, the focus is here they are destroying the equipment that the miners use to get the gold out. and the government plans to continue until december until they have the situation under control. >> and the miners say they're poor, they say they need to work. so are the government helping them at all trying to find jobs? >> the government is saying get

formal, pay taxes, get authorization, the government said this is not a poor people's business. if you want me to make a comparison, peru is the largest exporter of cocaine in the world. the illicit gold train is much larger. it's the largest activity in the country of over $2 billion. the government said get formal, but main of the miners are saying we've had concessions in areas that are protected over 20 to 30 years and they want the government to respect this. the government said that was back then. the laws are different now and they have to abide by the law now. >> thanks. coming up on the news hour from doha we're looking at sport, the texas rangers set up a wildcard showdown as opposed to a wildcat showdown. we'll have details on that.

discussing austerity versus growth. >> the key question is can the government hard wire this into the system or simply repeat the old mistakes. that's the fear occupying the minds of the government at the moment and they want to make sure that this cannot be reversed. >> reporter: banks that had to be rescued are now being reprivatized. >> of course, the conservatives haven't yet won the battle. the opinion polls are still very close. but with more growth forecast for next year, increasingly they're arguing that they're on a glide path to victory in national elections in the spring of 2015. they say very simply that through bad times they stuck to their intellectual arguments that austerity had to be done and that's now become a model for the rest of europe to foll

the other animals that will die and perish because of this by also being poisoned is alarming. i would like to think that parks are doing their best, yes, but they're constrained because of the financial position at the moment. >> zimbabwe is only of some of africa's largest elephant herds. there's no way of knowing where or where poachers using cyanide will strike next. >> we're talking sailing but hahul will talk football. >> that's right. jordan was elected as president of the south african football association over the weekend. he returns to the job he held between 1997 and 2004. without initially left to head up south africa's bid to host the world cup. struggling after they failed to qualify for the 2014 tournament
