tanzania. a suspended prison sentence for russian opposition leader. we'll be live in moscow with the latest. >> hello, welcome. this is al jazeera live from doha. coming up a powerful typhoon kills 14 in japan as it moves up the country's east coast. >> the philippines government says 2 million may be affected by a powerful earthquake that hit a holiday island. >> and celebrations in sarajevo

as bosnia qualifies for the world cup. but first, a russian opposition leader has beenhanded a suspended prison sentence. he says the charge was fabricated and politically motivated. he was released. he performed well, winning the early vote in mayoral elections. was this verdict expected? >> i don't think anyone really knew what was going to happen. this was an appeal against an earlier sentence of five years of charges of embezzlement.

i think he and perhaps his family and wife and supporters will be released he's not spending the next five years in prison. he thinks the whole thing is trumped up against him. what should be on trial is the judicial system in russia, saying the charges were trumped up by the kremlin and president putin, a form of political revenge against him because of his long-running blog about corruption. he's the sharpest thorn in the side of the kremlin. this is a different case from earlier proceedings. s since standing in the moscow mayoral election he's been a serious challenge to the kremlin. he had 27% of the votes in the election last month. some 660,000 people voted for him. this was a great shock to the

kremlin and the government and they were anxious to set up lavalni as a russian mandela, a martyr in prison. that's why we got the suspended sentence of five years. it means that navalni will no longer be able to take part in any elections, ruling him out from challenging vladimir putin or anyone else in the next presidential election. effectively the kremlin has a political nuisance out of the way. for how long we don't know. >> exactly, for how long? it rules him out of the election - a suspended prison sentence. what future does he have, do you think? >> i think, as i say his profile has changed. he's been strong on corruption in russia. he has a large following. he stood up to the kremlin, got 660 votes in the moscow mayor's

elections. i think the kremlin has not seen the last of him and he'll be prominent in the protest rallies. in the end, i think the kremlin has not solved the problem of alexi navally and he'll do his best to remain outspoken. in the end he'll be the main focus for all the opposition movements and his voice will be heard. the kremlin have not solved their problem. >> thank you. a powerful typhoon killed 14 in japan as it swept up the country's east coast. many of the dead were founded on the izu oshima island. many are missing. typhoon wipha packed winds of up to 180 k/hr. it tore up japan's east coast. what lay in its path didn't

stand a chance. theize -- the izu oshima island bore the brunt. 800 millimetres of rain falling, twice as much as what the island gets for the month of october. its lush hills bear the scars that the rain created. most of the dead were buried in the deluge. >> tif ons -- tif ons normally don't take the toll. this time, as they call it, a once in a decade typhoon and looking at the damage on this one island is devastating. >> tokyo took a glancing blow as the typhoon tore through. wind warnings called for people to get out of the capital. when it came, public transport was paralyzed. many were stranded at the airport where flights were grounded. typhoon wipha was powerful.

it saved japan's east coast from damage, ensuring the storm sped through within 24 hours, avoiding prolonged bad weather. efforts are concentrated on finding many people who are missing and cleaning up what typhoon wipha left behind. >> a rescue team is searching for 19 crew members from a cargo ship missing off the coast of south korea. the vessel went down, damaged after being pounded in heavy waves and took on water when it hit a seawall. >> a major rescue operation is going on in the philippines after a powerful earthquake hit the island of bohol. the death toll is 107. that is expected to go up. only a handful of people have been pulled out alive. up to 2 million may be affected by the 7.2 magnitude quake.

>> jamela alindogen is in bohol. i asked her for more earlier. >> the town of bohol province is one of the most devastated areas. when earthquakes shut the philippines tuesday morning - residents worried about security. those that lost their homes are unable to abandon their homes. they are sleeping by the roadside and are feeling insecure about the situation. the local government recorded 800 aftershocks since the earthquake started. the philippine government announced the provinces are under a state of callality. the president said his government is willing to extend help and aid to those that need it the most. in the province, the residents and government are worried about long-term repercussions.

bohol provide thousands of jobs for those living here, including those in the outlying islands of the region. they want help and know that they'll be able to get food and enough water for the upcoming days. >> rescue operations are underway. according to the local government and the agencies helping out with the rescue operation, chances of finding survivors are becoming slim. >> the second and last day of talks in geneva between world powers in iran are due to start shortly. both sides are trying to end the deadlock over disputed programs. state television in iran reflecting government views scribe the talks as positive. it's the first time since negotiations began in 2003 that a positive tone has been struck. iranian officials are hoping to end the isolation and crippling economic sanctions.

our diplomatic editor james bays is at the talks. i don't think they've opened for the second day, but bring us up to date with the latest from there? >> they haven't opened in terms of everyone sitting around the same table. what has been taking place for the last few hours is little talks. different groupings meeting others. we know some of the international community, the p5 plus 1, the group that is negotiating this on behalf of the international community, the permanent five members of the security council and germany. they've had talks amongst each other - because iran put forward a new proposal, a powerpoint presentation in english. i think some of the details were sent back some of the technical details were sent back. some of the diplomats have been discussing the position. it's worth remembering we talk about the p5 plus 1, and they

say this - they try to have a unified possession. there are varying thoughts about this on the way forward and how to accept the iranian proposal. i don't think they are totally united. there has been meetings between the iranians, we understand, with other nations - one-on-one meetings, small-scale meetings, rather than a big gathering of everyone around the same table. >> the rainians would like to see the crippling sanctions which is why the u.s. treasury officials are there. the sticking point, i suppose, the big issue on the table is enrichment. it is likely they'll be allowed some enrichment. it depends on the percentage, doesn't it? >> absolutely. enrichment is something that iran says that it has a right to. it says it should be able to pursue its own civilian nuclear power system and should be able to enrich its own uranium for

that. the problem is that if you enrich rainium to, say, 20%, it's for civilian use. it's simple steps to get to 90% enrichment, and that is military grade uranium, which is what they don't want iran to have. that's what they are talking about, ways iran can prove that it is for civilian use, they are not secretly trying to build a bomb. >> one of the three major credit agencies warned the u.s. that their lating could go down. while the deadlook goes on, ordinary americans pay the price. >> this is how harold carol passes the time - playing cards, having spirited conversations with friends, in this park not far from capitol hill. for him, he says these days that

seems like a world away. this is his world. >> i got a daughter. show feeds me. i go buy there. >> his social security check - barely enough to pay rent, medical bills and food. now it's possible he won't get the money in the following days. all federal funding may put on hold as law makesers fight about borrowing money. they run out of options on 17 october. >> i am on a fixed income. i paid half of my income towards rent. >> i have no income. too old to work, no income. i mean, you know - what's more to say. >> what exactly happens on october 17th. administration officials say

they'll have $30 billion cash on hand. some money will come in, others will go out. >> treasury can't make a choice about who it will pay. it's a complicated system. they are making millions of payments out every day to u.s. citizens, government contractors, to employees, and to the debt holders. >> the country has big bills coming due. on october 23rd $12 billion is needed for social security payments like carols, five days later $3 billion for federal workers. two days later, doctors and hospitals need another $2 billion, and at the end of the month $6 billion to pay interest on the debt. at some point the check will bounce unless congress comes to an agreement. for carol, it's too much to think about what happens if they don't, and he is the one left

with nothing. . more to come. including displaced within their own country. we look at some of afghanistan's porest people. and efforts in nab ibia to move on from its colonial days.
