displaced and fleeing the country continue to rise we need the whole international community to work together to bring an end to this crisis. i and my colleagues in humanitarian human rights feel we have called several times to unhinder access and give aid to, and many in those in areas we have not been able to reach for months. we call on the warring parties to protect civilians from the brutal fighting and violence to stop targeting vie it will services like school, shops, and hospitals and stop violating human rights. we continue to ask for increased support for neighboring families in neighboring countries and showthose supporting. this calls on all parties to do their utmost to end the violence and stop targeting civilians.

it also reminds them that they must facilitate the swift provision of vital humanitarian aid, and there are serious consequences for violating humanitarian and human rights law. >> let's go to kristin in new york. it's all very well for valerie amass to stand there and say this, but is it going to make any difference? >> reporter: well, humanitarians certainly hope so. they're dealing with 2. 5 million displaced in the country, 745 million without enough food to eat, and they are the one who is lobbied hard the security council to make a statement calling for humanitarian access, and they have responded quite favorably to the statement. hoping it brings relief to the people. in the past they have not been able to get the access that they needed to help them out.
2:04 pm
but humanitarian groups are wary. there is a rights watch they have called on the u.n. to test the syrian authorities and rebel groups to let the aid flow wherever needed and report promptly to the security council if there is non-compliance. clearly the aid feels this is necessary and could help but they're wary that it might washington further action if it doesn't. >> any reaction from those within the country? >> well, we did hear from the syrian ambassador after the comments o of valerie amos and e security council, he expressed willingness to cooperate.
2:05 pm
>> the human rights law perpetrated by the terrorists and armed groups operating in my country. this is a political development. >> reporter: so the syrian ambassador stressing the opposition groups responsibility under international law rather than his own government there, although he did say that he did want to comply, his country did want to comply with the demands of the security council. i should point out this is a security council statement, not a resolution. it does not carry the same weight of international law that
2:06 pm
a resolution does. there are no consequences for the syrian government if it doesn't include, but it shows itcomply but it did saythey wan. >> 17 countries have agreed to take in refugees escaping the civil war. 10 million refugees going to placedifferent countries includg the u.s. senior spokesman for the h.c.r. >> reporter: this crisis is an
2:07 pm
enormous crisis. countries around the world have been approaching billion of dollars to help the people on the ground and to support the needs of the countries like jordan, lebanon, turkey and iraq because the countries enor must support. what this will do initially is to ensure up to 10,000 very, very vulnerable refugees, people who are victims of torture, of sexual or other violence, people who have very, very serious problems will be able to go to a country where they can get the protection, the counseling, the medical care that they need. and we do hope that other countries will come forward because there is a clear need for more places. but what's more there is a need for peace on the ground. how many more refugees can a country sustain is it 4 million or 5 million, the numbers are going up every day.

risk of the slow painful death. al jazeera. >> it has been a dramatic day. the italian politics let's go to felicity in our european headquarters. >> reporter: a surprise u-turn by berlusconi. after asking five of his government ministers to step down but just before the senate vote berlusconi said that they would support the government. a win for italy's prime minister, and a huge climb down for his predecessor. he sailed to the senate vote of confidence meaning his coalition stands for now. >> the majority of the italians are telling us, they're yelling
quote
2:11 pm
at us that they can no longer take these scenes of bloodshed in political arena, but nothing ever changes. >> reporter: berlusconi wanted his center right people to back his cause for his ministers to quit the cabinet. but once he found enough disdense he announce the i would back the prime minister. >> because italy needs a government to provide structural and institutional reforms. >> berlusconi who is 77 faces a vote on friday that could strip him of his seat because of his convictions of tax fraud. it was surprising and humiliating, while the party has been weakened, some refuse to declare his political career

2:13 pm
more crucial to be able to remain for there to be a civility. now looking ahead to friday, that is will going to be an interesting, shall we say, for mr. berlusconi. he faces senate who will decide if he keeps his seat in the senate because of convictions of tax fraud. many are saying this is signaling the end of the road for mr. berlusconi's career, while that may be the case, that will not be the end of his influence. he has been on the seat for two decades now and he still wields enormous influence. while he's going through a very challenging time it's not the last we'll see of mr. berlusconi yet. >> thank you for joining us. >> well, the leader of greece's far right golden dawn party has
2:14 pm
appeared in court in athens. he sayhis arrest from comes froa crackdown by the government who calls it a neo-nazi party. >> there is not the slightest evidence or even sufficient indication to support these charges and enable the prosecutor and the investigating judge to order the detention of it. do i make myself clear? this is why i was now satisfied that the prosecutor and the investigator did their duty. they'll do the same for golden dawn as the charges against the organization does not hold. >> now in athens, john, the golden dawn leader is still in court, i gather. what has been happening?
2:15 pm
>> reporter: that's right, now defending himself against charges that he created and leads a criminal organization. the best possible description of those charges is in the prosecutor's indictment which provides a description of how golden dawn operates with the series of local chapters, each run by a closed five-member committee which takes it's orders from the local m.p. and the local m.p. take their orders from the leadership of the party in downtown athens. that means each cell, the prosecutor says, operates different departments. one may be adding out aid or activities, recruiting minors. but the most controversial is what the prosecutor refers to as assault battalions. groups of people with military
2:16 pm
training or special forces training, some of them retired from the military who receive orders to commit acts of violence. always in a controlled fashion condoned by the party leadership, according to the prosecutor. those are the charges now that they are addressing. >> the latest still going on in athens. thank you. more from europe. a little later in the news hour, but right now let's return to doha and to david. >> we have this coming up, sectarian violence flaring up in myanmar. we'll have the details from the volumvolatile state. and more about bashar al-assad uncle. and the final asian champions league.
2:17 pm
>> the u.s. pratt president obama is making an attempt to end the political deadlock that has led to a partial shutdown. congressional leaders have been invited to a meeting at the white house. more on this from kimberly halleck who is there for us in washington, d.c. any sign that this is going to end any time soon? >> reporter: it is a good sign that these two sides are going to sit down and do some talking. they're going to do it at the white house with president obama at his invitation. this will be a discussion with top republicans and top democrats here. what they're going to be talking about is the pressing fiscal issues facing the united states right now. it's not just partial government shutdown that is causing a crisis, and there is this need of legislation and fund to go reopen the government. but there is something with more dire consequences facing the united states that is looming. we know from white house officials and, in fact, the
2:18 pm
treasury secretary will also be present at this meet to go implore the congressional leaders to also raise the u.s. debt limit. because we know but october 17th that that is not done the 16. 7 trillion ceiling the u.s. will default on its payment. this is the situation with even greater dire consequences that is concerning the white house right now. >> as head of goldman sachs went to see the president earlier and said, look, we need to understand the long-term consequences of this not raising the debt ceiling. everybody seems to be suggesting that political leaders are playing politics here. but is there an argument amongst the republicans that raising the ceiling time and time again while it may work in the short term, is actually going to be bad for the country longer term? >> reporter: indeed. that is the argument, and that's why there has been this push back not just about the attempt to raise the debt cerealing this
2:19 pm
time around, but it was the same argument that we heard in 2011 when the debt ceiling was significantly lower and there was fight about raising it then. there viewpoint held by americans that government should not be getting bigger, spending money that it doesn't have. if the ordinary american were to do that, we would have consequences. we wouldn't be able to spend indefinitely, and why should the government be able to, too. this is an argument held by many here at capitol hill, but there is an argument of compassion. the government needs to take care of its people. there needs to be a balance of entitlement, cost cutting, it's going to be difficult. the two sides are going to break some of their standing ground
2:20 pm
and come and meet somewhere in the middle. because the fact of the matter remains, as you pointed out, the ceo, the top ceos meeting with president obama at the white house saying this is going to have dire consequences. the u.s. has already had its credit rating downgraded once before. it could be worse if this political brinkmanship continues. >> thank you very much. that's kimberly halkett in washington, d.c. buddhist gangs ambush a home where an 84-year-old woman was killed. charles stratford has more. >> reporter: the burning aftermath after attacks against the myanmar's muslim community. crowds of buddhist were beaten
2:21 pm
and killed. this is myanmar's state, groups of hundreds of buddhist villages, some with swords roam the streets. they stabbed a 94-year-old woman to death. one man told al jazeera why he joined in. >> we're doing this to protect our own religion. because we heard the muslim men against buddhism. >> in one village police stood by while the groups moved through. >> the police are just merely shooting in the air. and not doing enough to stop the violence. >> reporter: 200 people have been killed and thousand versus fled their homes but not all buddhist agree with the gangs. >> we are all natives of this region. if this violence pressure assists all the businesses in the community here will be affected. >> reporter: the president is in state for the first time since the conflict broke out.
2:22 pm
he has been criticized for not bridging the sectarian divide but he said no amount of police or military can completely stop the violence. it has to come from the people. right groups accuse myanmar security forces for being complicit in the violent something that the government denies. >> it was very clearly stated by the president, so we will take necessary measures to stop the gang of violence. >> reporter: thousands have already fled the country. the latest attacks have pushed yet more men, women and children into hiding afraid for their lives in the forests and remote villages of western myanmar. al jazeera. >> we've been trying to reach somebody from myanmar's government to comment further on this, so far no success. the u.n. considere considers mye

2:24 pm
differences. do you think that the attitude toward the rahinga is softening, do you think they might get citizenship? >> yes, i think the reports we're hearing that the government has taken a softer tone on resolving the issues there. they're making conciliatory gestures at the international level, and we understand that the president has visited tup townships. we have to wait and see. the government has said that there are things that they have to resolve this issue, but we did not see significant changes in the situation on the ground. we're hoping this time the whaty say they mean it. >> some of the arguments against the rakhine in that area,
2:25 pm
they're afraid that they might take over that part of myanmar if given citizenship. is it possible any moves to make the situation better for these people could actually inflame passions on the ground and make things even shorter. >> yes, the situation on the ground is quite serious despite the conciliatory ground by the myanmar government of giving citizenship. they are the indigenous population of that ring of the r akhine state. in 1962 the military dictatorship took over and null and voided their status, gradually revoking citizenship. their citizenship has to be reinstated whether they need to modify or demand 1982 citizen
2:26 pm
law, or they have to walk away to accommodate that or walk away from the people who are indigenous of burma. >> the unsung hero champion of democracy now has a political voice than she has been allowed in many years, yet she has not not spoken up in support? >> i'm surprised. she has been the icon of democracy, and she had western-educated, and has been victim of this military dictatorship. now she needs to speak out. of course there may be political
2:27 pm
dynamics in the country that she may be worried about that if she speaks out she will lose the ground with the local--with this population, but that's not what she should be her strategy. she should have the principle of speaking out clearly the rights of minorities rather than silence. those around her have been a problem, party members, she should not be influenced by them. she should have her own thought that she can speak to and work with. we are surprised. i think there is still time. she could still come forward and make a statement. we want her to tell the truth. we don't want her to manipulate
2:28 pm
anything. just tell the truth to the wor world, are these justified. do you prove it or disprove it. can you be a facilitator with the myanmar government. she can participate in the peace process, and work with the myanmar government, and they need to come to the middle. not take sides. come to the middle and be sincere and honest. >> thank you very much, indeed. coming up on the news hour, homes and schools flooded in cambodia. cambodia. we report some of the worst in the provinces.

outrage and it was some degree of shock and surprise that the charges of piracy actually filtered out from the offices of the investigative committee where the activists had the formal charges laid thence the t them. just a week ago the russian president vladimir putin himself said that the activists were not pirates but did he expect that the activists would be charged with some kind of offense because he felt they had violated international law. it was expected the investigative committee would follow mr. putin's lead, and be rather lenient. that has not proved to be the case. the news that filtered out from the offices of investigative committee were that the 14 were to be charged with piracy, and another 16 are due to be charged and we expect with piracy as

2:48 pm
connective fixture schedule in 2021 and 202002. added to the scheduled will be the subject, the serious subject of workers rights in qatar, the spotlight on deaths over the summer in construction work in qatar and the supreme committee have come out very quickly and said, look, it will be a priority for our health and safety when construction of world cup sites begin. but fifa wants to make sure that it's discussed and treated extremely seriously. when they talk about the move to qatar, legally it doesn't look like they have any chance that have happening. they're on very secure ground keeping it where it is. >> that's all for me. >> thank you very much, indeed. we'll go to our top story, the u.n. security council calling for immediate access into syria to provide aid. we will talk now to u.n.
2:49 pm
humanitarian aid valerie amos. with all these fine words and a presidential statement from the security council, what's going to change? >> well, i hope we'll be able to get into places we've not been able to get into up until now. we estimate there are 2 million people in syria we've been trying to reach and we have not been able to. so if the parties on the ground stick by what the security council has said in this statement, then we think that we'll be able to get more people faster with more supplies. >> what makes you think-- >> it's extremely important that the united nations security
2:50 pm
council come together. we've been talking about this for two and a half years. it is ordinary children, men, women, who are suffering the consequences of the brutality on the ground. it's got worse. the fact that the security council have come together, there is a consensus statement. they're saying very clearly that it has to stop. they're saying they hav there he access. they're saying that we as the united nations with our partners need to do everything that we can and the groups on the ground need to do the same thing. this is a platform from which we can do additional work. that's why the statement is so important. >> let me ask you this. how do you take this forward? how do you negotiate with people who are fighting a war? early on in september you called
2:51 pm
for a cease-fire to get some help. that didn't happen. how do you go about this? what do you do next? >> well, we continue talking. we're already talking to groups on the ground. that's what helps some of our delivery now. we need to be in more places inside syria. that has been difficult for a variety of reasons until now. we think that this statement gives us a further opportunity to begin to negotiate that. we need to make sure that the attention of the word remains on those that we cannot reach. the 2 million people in hard-to-reach areas or areas under siege. i hope this will help the people who so desperately need to be supported. >> let me just change tacks slightly but dealing with the help that people on the ground need there. just looking at some of the figures. i think the united nations, your
2:52 pm
department in particular, has asked for roughly 4. $5 billion in aid. so far it has got not even near half that. 36% of the 4. billion dollars that need to be donated. there is not the world will out there to help, is there? >> there are two different things to say. one is to say that 4. $4 billion that we're asking for is for the whole of this year for the refugee crisis in neighboring countries as well as work in syria itself. so roughly just over $1 billion for the work inside syria. the numbers have gone up in terms of what we've received. it's about 48% for the work inside syria, and just under that for the work in neighboring countries. i think the world has woken up
2:53 pm
to the regional impact of this crisis. it's hoped that it's not just being seen as humanitarian aid but the comprehensive approach, development, longer term support for people bringing in the international financial institution like the world bank. not just depending on our traditional humanitarian donors. millions have fled the country, and millions more inside need our help. >> valerie amos, we do thank you very much, indeed. you have sat next to me in the studio on a number of occasions making the same appeals, and let's hope that messages are getting through. that's valerie amos talking to us live in new york. >> thank you. >> the world's largest book fair
