grannies fighting back against rising crime. ♪ a car bomb has exploded in syria killing dozens of people and the attack happened in the rebel-town near the turkish border and dozens were injured when the bomb went off in a main town square and we will go to where this is being monitored in lebanon and live from beirut and what have you learned about the incident and a very powerful bomb i understand. >> yes, a huge bomb and car bombing in a crowded area, a marketplace, people were buying fruits and vegetables when the bomb went out, this town lies along the turkish border and people were able to smuggling in supplies, food and medical

supplies and maybe even weapons but there is no claim of responsibility. dozens were injured so the casualty toll may rise even further. in area is controlled by a mainstream rebel forces and they are now being called. members of the free syrian army and we understand from activists on the ground that al-qaeda and foreign fighters have a presence in the town but not a strong presence and it's hard to see who is responsible even in rebel-held territories and they use planes and shelling and what we understand from activists and i can't confirm this is that after the bombing they used machine gunfire and no claim of responsibility but high death toll where displaced people have sought shelter. >> what is the latest on the fate of the workers who were kidnapped in syria on sunday, any information on who may have

taken them? >> not much. i managed to speak to an international committee in beirut and have no idea of who the gunmen were responsible for the kidnapping and no claim of responsibility. what we understand is they were providing assistance in a city under the control of the regime and left the city and on their way back to damascus and outside of a town called seroki and taken from there and the town is under control of rebels and where al-qaeda does have a strong presence and we are speaking to activists there and according to them the icrc convoy they were escorted by fsa rebels and came under attack and the gunmen took the cars and staff members but left the fsa rebels go. this is the information we are getting from sources on the ground, they don't know much but

this highlights the growing concern about security in these areas and it's not the first incident of the kind. international workers and journalists have been captured and kidnapped in the rebel-held north. icrc saying operations will not be effected in any way, but demanding their unconditional release of their staff members. >> call on the groups who are holding them to release them immediately and unconditionally and the reason is of course we are here to serve the syrian people. we are delivering water. we are working with the syrian and delivering food and health and other things and that is for them. it's not for us. and we expect that all our groups, all authorities respect independence, neutrality and give us a fair passage. >> reporter: this kidnapping really comes at a very critical time. humanitarian needs are growing in syria.

the u.n. a few weeks ago demanding the syrian government give access to workers to reach all areas in the country. but with this incident security risks, the dangers on the ground it's unclear now how aid workers will reach those in need >> thank you, we are reporting live from beirut in lebanon. at least 111 people are confirmed dead after a stampede at a hindu festival and they were heading to a temple in the indian state on sunday and people panicked after rumors spread that the bridge was about to collapse and 7 years 50 people were crushed to death death crossing the same river. first of all, is it any clearer why so many people were crushed to death? >> well, it seems that about 20,000 people were on a bridge

leading up to the temple. it is a festival season in india with the festival so hundreds of thousands of people gathered at this particular location to pay homage to the goddess and seems that these people on the bridge heard a rumor, in fact, that the bridge was unstable and about to collapse in a moment and it caused a panic and the stampede may be because of this. witnesses said that police did not help the matter and, in fact, used their bats to try to disburse the crowd and it made them more agitated. we spoke to a senior police officer just now and he denied any wrongdoing from the side of the police but he did say that there were only about 100 officers deployed here yesterday to manage crowds well over

100,000 people. so you know such a small police force is inadequate to handle a normal situation let alone a stampede. >> people are behind you and the festival is still going on despite the tragedy. >> yes, we have seen hundreds, if not thousands of people filing in today to pay homage to their goddess. it's the last day of the festival and people have been coming not only from all over this particular area but also from out of state. now, i had a chance to speak to some of these pilgrims and they have been coming every year for the festival and say the organization is very poor. there are no water, sanitation or food facilities for them. many of them walk hundreds of

kilometers to visit the temple and were very angry at the police organization of the festivals and only come when something bad happens and are concerned because in a month india will celebrate the new year and the festival and hundreds of thousands of people are gene specificed to converge on this particular spot. so they are very worried that if this kind of a stampede happened just yesterday, they are concerned about what will happen in the coming weeks. >> reporter: thank you very much, we are reporting there in india. in other world news the murder of a man in moscow are rioting and almost 400 people have been arrested and we report. >> one of the biggest antimigrant riots broke out in

the russia capitol moscow and vandalized property and angry over killing of a man and blaming it on a migrant worker of decent and scuffles broke out with police when they tried to stop the charged crowd. and one was injured in the clashes that lasted for several hours, dozens of protesters were arrested. the city government closed down a highway and cutoff all traffic in southern moscow and the people alleged that an uncontrol flow of migrants turned parts of roscoe into crime centers but they say there is no excuse for violence and an interior minister promised to retore order. >> it's a constant source of tension in the districts that circle the warehouses and i'm asking the head of police and managers on duty to quickly deal

with the warehouses and bring about order and make everyone work according to russian law, where they are located and work regardless of the region they come from. >> reporter: these tensions are not knew and there are small out breaks of violence between the moscow majority and minority workers from the ex soviet caucus states and they accuse of bringing crime and unrest and migrants complained in the past of poor labor and living conditions and for now calm has been restored to the capitol as the city's entire active police force seems to be out on the road. it's not yet clear whether this round of violence will bring better conditions or a crack down on migrant workers. al jazeera. >> reporter: the world's nuclear watchdog iea is at japan to resume safety at the fukushima power plant and they met to assess how the cleanup is going and in july they said it

was leaking in the ocean and the government admitted it needs international assistance and expertise. nuclear power plants have come under increasing scrutiny since the fukushima plant in japan they are scaling back and under a policy they have 22% of power from nuclear plants and half the previous target. and harry foster reports from seoul. >> for now this is a study and recommendation but it's a pretty strong one and comes with some sort of government approval in the fact that it was a statement from the energy ministry in which this conclusion was released and also the fact that the time coincides with a large global energy conference hosted by south korea at the moment and a strong signal of the intended direction of travel in terms of nuclear policy and reversal of that put in place just five years ago under the previous

administration. then the plan was by 2030 to pretty much double the amount of nuclear power generated into the electricity grid, raising the proportion to 60% of electricity production. now the new plan would have the level pretty much remaining as it is now, between 22-29%. the reason according to the relevant minister and prime minister's office we spoke with a while ago is the government wants to take into account extremely strong public opinion which is building against nuclear power for some years now. obviously since the fukushima disaster and continued problems with japanese authorities are seeing there that go on this week as iea inspectors are trying to assistant help japan deal with that and because of concerning wide scale corruption scandals in the south korea industry and last week 100 people were indicted in investigation running for five months over fake certificate

certifications dealing with come pointents in the stations which are found not have to proper approvals. this would be a major reversal especially for a country that relies on outside sources of energy and where nuclear power has been seen to be important for a reversal like this to take place. we will find out the official policy in december. >> reporter: a court in malaysia said non-muslims cannot use the word allah to describe god and it's a decision that raised questions over rights in the mainly muslim country and we have more. >> reporter: a three-man panel on court of appeal has unanimously decided that the word allah cannot be used by the catholic church in the newspaper. the word allah is not just the arab word for god but it's in the malay language. the court in making its decision sided with the home minister which put the ban in the first

place and the court said it found no evidence that the word allah word is integral to the church and using it will cause confusion in the community. the christian community here is understandably unhappy with this decision. the editor of the catholic newspaper said that this represents a step backwards in fundamental liberties of the religious minorities and indonesia with the largest muslim population allows christians and muslims to use the word allah, the word is used not just in malay bibles but also used in malay language church services and there are wider implications of this decision even though at the moment it is restricted to just its usage in the catholic newspaper. and the catholic church says it plans to appeal this decision.

people. so there is a real need for security and for to stop the massive violations that are occurring right now. >> reporter: what is the nature of the violence taking place, is it of a sectarian nature? >> at the beginning it seemed more political and more usual and we know the country has been unstable for 20 years now or maybe more. but now that is a political crisis before and became little by little enter religious because of the lack of security and lack of states and so this new style over of complete between the communities produce human rights violations for

a decentralized security apparatus along with the progovernmepro government militia. >> i don't think they want the security to disintegrate and they made it very clear they want to preserve the government which includes the military intact. i don't think he will be authorized or i don't think having him in power will be one of his provocatives. i think he will be allowed to complete his term. >> reporter: they want to revive this in switzerland that stalled over what should happen to assad. if it convenes in geneva discussions will not be about regime handing over power, it will be to transitional a governing body to involve members from the opposition and the regime and about reaching agreement on power sharing, that is something the opposition and
