al jazeera america. take a new look at news. >> hello and welcome to the news on al jazeera. four of the seven aid workers abducted in syria are free 24 hours after their ordeal began. new talks on iran's nuclear program is a room for compromise. we have live from israel. >> hello i'm fes felicity parr.

why there's yet again no winner for a major african award for leadership. three foreign aid workers remain in captivity somewhere in northern syria tonight. three were released after they were all abducted by an unoccupied group. colleagues and friends at icrc headquarters in geneva had been waiting ally. when it came, it was bittersweet. because some are still being held. despite the abduction, the red cross insists it's business as usual. >> this will not see us

suspending our operations in syria. even yesterday we were helping displaced people, in rural damascus. despite this unfortunate incident we're still going to work for the syrian people. numerous armed groups are fighting the government as well as each other. aid workers can unwittingly get caught up in the daily violence. like this car bomb so powerful at least 12 of the victims were burned beyond recognition. the attack happened beyond the turkish border, field hospitals are swamped with the survivors many with serious injuries. without nf beds, injured -- enough beds, injured people were treated where they lay. women and children among the dead. the bodies of the victims were laid outside so family and

friends could severa search thes of the dead. lying on turkey's border it's a crucial smuggling route to bring supplies in and out of the rebel-controlled region. car bomb attacks have become a hallmark of syria's revolution. on sunday two bombs exploded and appeared to target syrian state television building. only further undermine global efforts to find a political solution to a war now in its third year. al jazeera. more from beirut. >> the incident involving the aid workers really highlights the security concerns in rebel held north of syria. there has been really a rise in kidnappings. we have seen international aid workers kidnapped, international

journalists. they didn't provide any further details. many other journalists are missing, some have been freed. there has been report that ransom has been paid. the icrc not saying who these gunmen were, who was responsible for the kidnapping but we understand from workers on the ground, gunmen belonging to al qaeda and the levant, the activists got their information from the security detail accompanying the icrc convoy. yes, another incident a high profile kidnapping at a time when high profile aid is really needed in syria with thousands and thousands of people without their basic needs made available to them. >> u.s. senators have indicated they could suspend any further

sanctions against iran if the government takes significant steps to stop its nuclear programs. negotiators are heading to geneva for a two day conference. james bays reports. >> it was a historic meeting, are counterpart secretary of state are john kerry. that phone call with h5n hasan rouhani and president obama. in new york at the german mission to the united nations, i asked germany's ambassador how optimistic he was. his words were carefully choationen. >> prawn must where erase the doubts of the community about the peaceful nature of its nuclear program.

we welcome the fact that the iranian government here in new york was giving indications that it was prepared to do so. >> these lateliest talks follow stalled efforts earlier this year. these were the demands made to iran at a earlier meeting in el marti in kazakhstan. one of the world's top experts on iran's nuclear program told me this time the ball is in teheran's court. >> the western position has been on the table for many months. it's what they proposed in el mati back in the spring. they've asked iran to stop, ship and shut. stop 20% enrichment, shep out of the country the stockpile and shut down the activities at fordo, the deep buried enrichment facilities. they were willing to lift some sanctions not enough for iran and engage in some cooperation. they are waiting for iran to

respond to that offer. >> these will be important some would say crucial talks but they won't be make or break negotiations. yes they will be going through the technical detail of iran's nuclear program, but they'll also be trying to build much needed trust. james bays, al jazeera geneva. >> sadak de batalam is a professor at western university and the biggest issue is trust. >> i really believe sincerely that the issue between iran and five plus one is not the fordu, it is not natan, it is not how many kilogram that iranian can have. 20% enriched yeurm uranium,

simply trust. the western power they do not trust iran because they think iran is up to something. something they are doing something secret which is not true and iranians do not trust the united states and the european powers. they think they are at the end of the day, they are after regime change. so if we give some degree of confidence some trust building between the two, that is the most important issue. >> meanwhile israel's prime minister saying easing pressure on iran would be an historic mistake. speaking at the beginning of the knesset, benjamin netanyahu says it would be hard liners. why does iran need nuclear energy? it would be a historic mistake to ease the pressure now a moment before the sanctions have

achieved their goal. >> for more about this, we are join by achiva eldar. good to have you join us again. we see the where geneva nuclear talks and benjamin netanyahu making a statement earlier this evening easing off sanctions against iran would be historic mistake. doesn't netanyahu seem more isolated with the americans seemingly optimistic about a deal? >> yeah, it seems that he's the poor relative that was not invited to the wedding party. and is telling everyone, trying to convince everyone to get the guests that were invited that the couple are going to divorce soon. it seems like netanyahu will not

take yes for an answer. the options he had before the visit of rouhani and the new kind of relationship between the united states and the hopes that the five plus one are having, doesn't leave many options to netanyahu. because if the negotiations will end with a deal, with a compromise that will satisfy the five plus one netanyahu will not be able to strike iran and even his threat to do that, will sound i would say even a little pathetic. if they will not be satisfied president obama already said that the united states, yes, the united states will take the lead. >> my question to you, is that netanyahu has repeatedly threatened to strike raw iran ad recent at the united nations to say he would go alone.

does he have much room to maneuver? how would the israeli government and the rest of the government feel about striking iran alone? does he have that support? >> you know, i just visited brussels and met with senior european officials. they don't take this seriously. it sounds like he is threatening with an empty gun. yes, he is trying to dictate to the iranians put a red line. i don't think it's just about trust, i think it's about dignity, about dignity of iran. i think his requirements, his demands from iran are not even negotiable. and in a way he's right. just if you need the nuclear power just for civil, for peaceful use, you don't need to enrich uranium more than 23.5%,

20%. you don't need the number of centrifuges that iran is producing. he has the right to be skeptical because the iranians have been misleading the previously around israel. i believe at the end of the day in five, ten, 20 years it's everyone in the middle east will have the nuclear capability or no one. and the iranians are already questioning, why should israel enjoy the kind of discount that they are getting special treatment from the west that israel never signed the npt and according to foreign sources israel has got the bomb. >> thank you, that's akiva eldar. the south korean government has done a u-turn on its plans

to produce nuclear energy. nuclear power plants have come under scrutiny since japan's fukushima energy plant. >> investigators found key components there, as well as at another plant had fake security certificates. in a probe that last week netted 100 indictments for industry wide corruption going back a decade and had a senior minister talking about nuclear mafia. >> because of all the safety issues it was the people's concerns would start to be affect into policy. >> plants will still be built as older ones are phased out but therefore plans for new reactors are likely to be suspended. 60% by 2030, is being abandoned altogether. instead the draft proposal sets out an energy policy that would

keep the balance pretty much the way it is, lowering the nuclear proportion, due consideration to strong public opinion against nuclear power. of course the continuing crisis at fukushima accounts for much of that shift. the number of south koreans who thought it was safe halved after that. continue to wane since, antinuclear proponents are dhearnd the number of are, chief concern. >> the current system cannot deal with nuclear safety properly. and even if the new declaration or new plan by the government still is not -- still is very early to interpret that, as the increase of the nuclear safety in the korean system. >> the answers lie in the use of renewable energy and better use of run away demand.

designed to help manufacturing industry in south korea uses double the energy of other developed nations. >> coming up on the al jazeera news hour, urgent action dealing with migrants making the journey across the mediterranean. >> and did they fail to do the job? jamaica's antidoping agency. how it failed testing for the london olympics. but first the latest demonstrations by the eafnt coup alliance in egypt have produced considerably smaller turnouts than on other occasions. most of the marches brought our just a few hundred people. al jazeera's sue turton has more. >> about a thousand people have come out to join this march east of cairo in nasri city.

a very symbolic protestors were doing a sit in in that square when there was a huge crack down and hundreds were killed. now the security forces have made it clear that every square is shut off, despite an amnesty report come out on monday with health officials eyewitness and those wounded in the various demonstrations and they found that the security forces have patently failed to protect those who are protesting, even even when civilians that look like sifnlings in civilians clothing that attacked them with all sorts of arms leaving many dead and injured. that's not going to stop these people who want to go to the square and encounter security forces along the way. >> forces have swept through

aing are warehouse in moscow arresarresting migrants. >> that vegetable warehouse is the same one targeted by rioters on sunday. demonstrators broke in believing a man working there was responsible for a fatal stabbi stabbing. >> moscow police are facing challenge, accused by some russians being too lenient on migrant workers. this was theirs response. an early morning raid often a wholesale vegetable market. more than a thousand people rounded up for identity checks. southern area of moscow, after sat night's violence but antimigrant feeling hasn't dimmed. >> they rape and murder, all these facts are hidden in police reports and we look like fools. >> people live in flats that could collapse from the number

of people and nobody reacts. all those migrants live there without registrations -- registration and the police don't react. >> the murder of a 25-year-old russian man turned violent, some of the crowds do believe that a migrant worker from the caucasus. several police were injured, and 380 protestors were arrested . the eruption of citizen xenophobic violence. >> there are migrants all around the world. there isn't a state that doesn't have migrants. i don't know. the state should decide. it's not our decision. >> there are some five million migrant workers in russia three million thought to be undocumented. they do some of the most

difficult dangerous and dirty jobs, living in poor quality housing with few if any legal protections. as this weekend's violence shows the exceptions they get -- the receptions they get could be violent. only 16% felt migrants helicopter the are economy. >> the russian journalist feel there is why spread reaction about the number of refugees. >> there may be as many as 2 million of them living in moscow. still the majorities of muscovites, the work of nationalist groups mostly young people being nsa members and the people are not happy in general in moscow but it was the work of just a few hundred young people.

luckily almost no one got badly hurt. there were no killings but certainly it is a great danger on ethnic riots like this one. it is very bad that the liberal position seems to support sometimes this kind of action in moscow. >> in italy, priem min sister ps the mediterranean cannot become a sea of death. aimed preventing more shep wrecks after hundreds drown in separate disasters in little over a week. >> from tuesday italy will be operating a military and humanitarian application air and sea of important dimensions because for us it is intolerable that the mediterranean has become a sea of death. this is a mission that we have undertaken. i have requested the prime

minister of finland and other nation he help us because this is an important priority. the mediterranean sea is our sea and we can't tolerate what has happened in the past few days. >> claudio, they've had a meeting, it's over now. did the prime minister's plan get approval? >> yes indeed felicity, the prime minister's plan was approved and will go as early as tuesday, patrols the sea around the coast of italy will be tripled and there will be a number of military vesm vesselsd unmanned drone that will be employed to spot and intercept more migrant boats coming mostly from libya to the coast of italy in order to prevent more tragedies from happening.

well, as you've heard today the prime minister uses strong words saying it's unacceptable that the mediterranean sea is turning into the sea of death and it's something that action needs to be taken and needs to be taken now. but around here, the decision that was taken today is also seen as a way of showing complete action, so that europe does the same. he has said over and over again, that the borders of italy are also the borders of europe, and therefore, this should be also a european problem. and he hopes that aa concrete help from the european union comes as early as october 24th when the next council, when the next european council will meet again felicity. >> yes, there are big hopes by both italy and the european council will come up with some sort of strategy. how likely is that, it is going to be on the agenda surely. >> well, prime minister has said that he wants the immigration

issue to be high up on the agenda. and there seems to be the intention. by europe to do that. since there was a lot of solidarity, that was expressby europe and in particular by baroso and by the home affairs commissioner cecilia monstrom? that will involve more european countries to help pout italy and malta. but also today the prime minister said that the action needs to be taken on more fronts. he also says it is important to tackle the problem at its source, of course in libya where most of the migrant boats leave from and the relations from europe and this country need to improve so the problem can be tackled from there at the source felicity. >> of course it is people who are involved william what happens to people who survive

the journey, where are they ending up? >> well those who survive the journey felicity unfortunately realize very soon that the nightmare is not over once they reach the shores of italy. most of them reach lampedusa, immigration center built for 250 people. just recently there were 850 in in in pretty poor condition. many have been moved to the main island of sicily. they need to be spread out across italy where conditions are not that much better, felicity. >> claudio, in rome, thank you. the leader of a pilot group has been arrested, mohamed abdi hasan known as big mouth was wanted for the hijacking of a

ship four years ago. they tricked him by coming to belgium and both were detained in brussels. pregnant women, new concern about chemicals. animal research has previously suggests that bpa could be a danger to fetuses. now there have been limited studies on humans which suggest that high levels of contact with bpa could increase the risk of miscarriage. u.s. scientists says the biggest concern comes from warming foods contained in plastics. >> pregnant women which is one population that you would be very concerned about. they have measured chemical itself rather than just relying on maybe questionnaire responses

about types of foods and the behavior of people in the kitchen. so that is helpful. but there are some concerns about how they are damaged too. i think the study is a pointer to other work that needs to be done. and it needs to be done in a much larger group of individuals. i have some concerns about measurements of the chemical in blood because it does disappear very quickly from the blood after you are exposed to it. bpa disappears from your body within about 24 hours. so the blood test has to be done pretty immediately after someone is exposed. and if you do it some hours later and there are variations between when people were exposed and blood was taken, it's very difficult to accurate number-crunching if you like, to assess individual's exposures very well. so i have concerns about how the testing was done. it may have been done well but of course i don't know the full

details. >> still ahead from europe, lavish living, the german bishop is having to explain why his home cost more than $40 million. also coming up assessing the damage we report from india's cyclone hit eastern shore, and also, from so sao paulo. in sports. [[voiceover]] every day, events sweep across our country. and with them, a storm of views. how can you fully understand the impact unless you've heard angles you hadn't considered? antonio mora brings you smart conversation that challenges the status quo with

unexpected opinions and a fresh outlook. including yours.

>> you're watching the al jazeera news hour. here's a reminder of the top stories. four of the eight aide workers have been released. car bomb near the turkish border, many more were jirtd when the bomb was detonated near the square.

major powers are heading towards geneva. all sides are hoping for a break in talk after a recent thaw in talks between teheran and washington. cyclone phailin has destroyed hundreds of homes in eastern india. works have begun to restore towns. 17 people have been killed at least, authorities expect that number to rise. update from eastern india. people from communities worst affected by cyclone phailin, to pick up from where they left some days ago when they left for shelters and evacuation areas. from what we're observing and being told, by and large people are quite relieved to come home to structures that still exist to workplaces that also still exist, they are having to deal

with water damage and wind damage in some instances but by and large there is an effort on community level to get back on board, power splice as we have been going in and out of these areas, there are certainly widespread areas big areas that require this kind of assistance and help. that is a long term possible challenge for the authorities here. on another note, in terms of release and aid that we've been hearing about that the government and authorities are looking to provide we are hearing of some villages and areas frustrated by the slowness of that process. they're saying that look we really need things like food to be moving quickly. there are communities that are hurting in that respect and that again is a delicate problem that needs to be dealt with on quite local levels not necessarily from the state capitals and the central government in new delhi,

conditions improving on the ground, some getting back to normal but some challenges still remain. in india the number of people kil in a stampede at a hindu festival is rising. hundreds of pilgrims led to a festival, and panic spread when rumors that the bridge was going to collapse. seven years ago 50 people were killed in a similar incident at this same location. some jumped into a river to escape the crush. mostly women and children were killed during the stampede. datia district. >> we're in the hospital in the city which is about a two hour drive from where the stampede took place. some of the injured have been brought here for treatment. a local medical officer that we spoke to earlier is concerned that there are more than 100 deaths that have occurred in this accident. he said at least 120 people are

injured. now most of the dead seem to be amongst women and they have suffered from a lot of chest injuries, due to asphyxiation. we still don't know how or why this stampede occurred. some 500,000 people have gathered, had gathered at a hindu temple to celebrate the festival which is very important in the hindu calendar. about 20,000 people it's reported were gathered on a bridge leading up to the temple and it's reported that there were rumors that the bridge felt like it was going to collapse, and this may have triggered panic amongst the crowd and caused the stampede. however this has not been confirmed by officials yet. but these are not the only unanswered questions. india has a long and deadly history when it comes to stampedes during religious festivity. just in february more than 30 people died at the kumela

festival in el alhibad. community will ask officials why more precautions weren't taken to prevent this. central african republic perhaps could become a failed state. felicity. >> currently in bangi where he made the commitment. france already has about founder troops in the capitol, from paris, tim friend reports. >> the french foreign minister did not mention specific numbers but the diplomatic sources, currently it has 410 men on the ground in support of a small pan

african peace keeping force. >> first and foremost there is a serious security problem. a country where security is not guaranteed cannot meet the requirements of the population the foreigners and cannot grow properly so you have to restore security. >> as he toured the children's hospital the french minister repeated concerns of the central african republic risks becoming another failed state. despite sitting on vast mineral wealth it is one of the world's poorest countries. >> translator: france came to help the central african republic because the population is waiting for let's say an immediate solution. >> reporter: western powers have reluctantly recognized as the first president. he toppled francois bazize in

march. chaos followed the ousting of bazize. it is reported that selecca rebels have established fiefdoms across the country. >> i have been watching developments since december last year, and unfortunately, accelerating a tsunami of looting what used to be two to 5,000 selecca fighters is now 20,000. so time to act today. >> here the french foreign ministry it's feared that the brawkd in law and -- breakdown in law and order could lead to conflict, france wants the u.n. to act quickly, possibly with its own peace keeping force. >> tim friend, al jazeera paris.

>> and the french president has praised south africa for its stability. south africa has helped for the fight against rebels and the french military intervention in mali. >> the prize, has failed to find a worthy recipient, the last one was cape verde president. the committee after careful consideration, has declined not oaward the 2013 prize for excellence in leadership. >> it's just like last year and in fact most of the years since it was launched. the mo i ibrahim award.

>> suggest the criteria is too strict and you need to rethink how you award this prize. >> we are not a pessimistic group and we have real optimism about the continent, about continent leaders. but i think the mere fact that somebody has given a prize, is not a sufficient reason to rethink the whole process. >> ibrahim set up his foundation in 2006 and the prize a year later. it celebrates african leaders who have acted with, and pedro perez of cape verde. the prize was not awarded in 1910, 12, and now 13. the problem is that although african economies are growing

and there's big improvements in health and education it's not obvious that there are improvements in the quality of political leadership, especially at the very top. >> there are african presidents in their third decade in power. some even in their fourth who don't show any inclination to stand down. but mo ibrahim says a new president is emerging. >> we show, i'm sure in the next few years there will be so many winners. but what is important is to maintain our credibility. and we said, here is the benchmark for excellence. we need to reach that to the enterprise. >> mo ibrahim says life for most africans is getting better but until the leaders also improve his foundation will be holding

onto the prize money. barb biphillips, al jazeera. >> london police arrested a man who allegedly tried to break into buckingham palace. it's alleged a knife was found on him whether he was searched on the scene by officers. he is held in cult at a london police station. a german bishop is in rome to explain why his residence cost more than $40 million. it's not just his lavish home that's got him in trouble. >> i.t. looks like it's come straight out of the pages of a design magazine. more los angeles than lindbergh. but this isn't the residence of a pop star it's home to a german bishop and cost more than $40 million to build, six times the original resident.

it's earned him the nickname, the luxury bishop and angered church goers. >> it's simply not okay. it's high time that something is changed there not the individual but the church and that is us. >> the bishop has flown to rome where he is expected to have to explain the overspend and respond to claims he took a first class plain journey to india to visit poor children. he's denied the allegation. >> translator: you will understand this concerns and also disturbs me very much. i can't comment on it at the moment because it's a matter for the prosecutor's office. on the other hand it is for the bishop of lindbergh to comment. but i'm concerned that the bishop will engage in a spirit of self criticism and will respond in a spirit of self criticism.

>> since taking the office pope francis has preached on the austerity of the poor and a more understanding church, senior cardinals have been keen to improve the image of the church around the world. bishop's journey to the vatican has reported to have been made on a budget airlines. back to doreen. >> still to come on al jazeera news hour. >> the high cost of groceries is causing debt and fears of malnew transition. >> do the detroit tigers let victory slip through their fingers? the latest in sports.

>> this is not the inuit way. but if we don't do anything about it, it is going to be there forever and people are going to keep struggling . >> just below the arctic circle, it's run by the inuit. poverty and malnutrition, face the realities of a settled life. at this soup kitchen they're seeing plenty of evidence of that. >> this is a hunting culture and a lot of people are very frustrated by the barriers that have emerged over the last 30 years or so since the establishment of the settlements that we have today. now you know you're dependent on the local grocery store. and that just brings in a whole range of other issues. >> for thousands of years the inuit gathered food from the land and the ocean. now as reluctant townspeople they are dealing with challenges

anything, get that they're all tested here in jamaica bit our own antidoping mechanism. we of course have nothing to hide as far as drug testing is concerned. >> how damaging have these positive drug tests been to the people of ma jamaica? >> it is a massive law and months later we're still trying to come to grips with it. we don't have many things to be happy about. we are proud of since the 1940s we have been excelling in sprinting. very hard on the sport in jamaica and it is still something we feel very strong about concerned about. >> we'll leave it there. andre lowe has been speaking to
