> peace talks for syria scheduled for next month. will they happen? >> translation: the conference cannot take place without the presence of the opposition, representing the majority of the syrian people who oppose the regime

>> we ask what the chances are of bringing all sides to the table at the geneva ii. >> dozens of students arrested in egypt after confronting security forces. >> i'm in london with the latest from europe - including the widow of the former yugoslav communist leader has died. >> and violence breaks out at monta neeing roe's first ever gay pride parade -- montenegro's first ever gay pride parade. first - an explosion in iraq happening within the past hour. 35 people have been killed in the capital baghdad. a suicide attack happened outside a cafe in a neighbourhood, following two explosions on sunday. a dozen people were killed in attacks near tich reet and near

the town of roha. we are joined live on phone from baghdad. >> bring us up to date with what you know about the latest explosion. >> actual, it's before about an hour. a suicide bomber entered a cafe in the western part of baghdad and an explosion happened, killing about 35 people, injuring about 48. after the suicide bomber, another attack happened, another explosion happened by a bomb which was put inside the cafe, which means that it was programmed to happen as soon as possible and as much as massive casualties happen due to the explosion. you know, it's before about six months the explosion happened in the cafe, targetting

the cafe, gathering people and young people. it is the issue of targetting young iraqis, which is the - the - let's say the base of the improvement of let's say the development in iraq because, you know, we are, as a society, as an iraqi society, we have a high presence of young people inside the community. >> is there significance in targetting this particular cafe in this particular neighbourhood. it's a shia neighbourhood of baghdad. >> actually, as a cafe it was not an ethnic issue. before about 10 days, a cafe, a sunni area targeted, as i said, it's a series of cafes that have been targeted since about

six months, one in a sunni and the others in shia. it is targetting young people. that is the most important thing. casualties will be as much as possible for iraqi families, because they are the future of iraq. secondly, it's a message for the government that they have the most - the most failure security plan that ever happened in the region. we don't have anything in the baghdad territories that you have a secure area. only the green zone for sure is secured. until now, we don't - we didn't see any security as successful to make progress in the security situation in baghdad. >> that was a local journalist in baghdad giving us the latest on the breaking story. at least 35 people killed in a

cafe explosion. >> now, can talks to resolve the continuing conflict in syria prove fruitful? if some of the key players refuse to attend - that's the question on the mind of the syrian envoy. he has less than five weeks to convince stakeholders to go to the conference. he is touring the region in an effort to convene the conference. the clock started to tick on sunday when the head of the arab league confirmed that the long-awaited talks will happen in late november. >> translation: it has been decided that the geneva conference will be held on 23 november. preparations are taking place. there are a lot of preparations and obstacles that we should overcome. >> the main obstacle is the attendance of stakeholders. this is what the u.n. syrian envoy had to say about that.

>> translation: the conference cannot take place without the presence of the opposition, representing the majority of the syrian people that oppose the regime. >> to complicate matters further, the opposition in syria is a broad collection of groups - some allied, others opposed. there's the internal opposition - based in damascus, and recognised by the regime. they say they will attend geneva ii. then there's the external opposition. now, the main group is the syrian national coalition. it is set up in response to pressure from foreign backers to farm an organised alliance -- form an organised alliance. it's supported by the syrian council, the free syrian army and grassroots activists. some, not all, want to attend the geneva ii from the coalition. the syrian national council is a major player within the coalition but threatened to quit

if it takes part in the talks. then there's the armed opposition. there could be as many as 1 thus different groups with between 70 and 100,000 fighters. of those, the free syrian army remains the largest group. many, but not all of its members support the syrian national coalition. and, of course, there are quarrelling factions such as the syrian islamic front, the nusra front and others. they agree they want bashar al-assad out, but don't agree on how. here is what some of the inside players told our program. >> translation: we, as all the syrians, are looking for a political solution for what goes on in syria for the last 2.5 years. we think the russian position that supports the regime in syria is one of the problems,

the obstacles in syria >> our internal legal documents will not allow any group without a major voting from the general assembly of the syrian national coalition to go to any geneva talks without the approval of at least two halves of the members of the syrian national coalition, and that is a measured decision that the syrian coalition will face and discuss in two weeks in istanbul. >> more on this, to josh uee land. >> director of the center for middle east studies at the university of oklahoma. on the surface it looks like geneva ii will be hard to pull off, given the opposition within the opposition. we are five weeks away. is there enough time to make it happen, do you think?

>> it will be touch and go, there's no doubt. the united states, europe, russia want a political process going. i think they believe that this is the only way to try to force both sides to recognise that they can't win, and that they have got to stop fighting and try to reduce the amount of refugees flowing out of the country, perhaps - you know, reverse the flow of refugees, and certainly to take the pressure off jordan, lebanon, iraq, turkey, the countries overflowed with the refugee problem. the winter will be tough. they want to get going and will have to drag the opposition to this meeting. there's no doubt about it. >> you mentioned russia and the u.s. who else needs to be at the negotiating table for the talks to yield results. there's a lot of talks of the iranians having to attend and it's unlikely you'll get all the opposition groups we were telling our viewers about to

attend. who are the important players here? >> it is clear that iran, saudi arabia, turkey are the major players that are funding rebels, helping the rebels and so forth. hezbollah is one of them. iran , saudi arabia and turkey - and other gulf countries funding kuwait sent donations to the various rebel forces. all those players will have to be if not present, they'll need phone lines open and there'll have to be negotiations. ultimately to decrease the amount of violence, all of them will have to stop sending money and arming up their proxy militaries. that is a tall order. as you said, it's so fragmented inside syria. >> i'm assuming that events on the ground are important in terms of who holds the power balance, in which case do you think there's a danger that as

we approach the november deadline for the geneva talks, there could be an uptake in the violence on the ground in syria. >> no doubt there will be because most of the heavy lifters, the big militias in syria's they don't want a part of the negotiations, many do not recognise the syrian opposition coalition, they say that it doesn't represent them, it's made up of these ex-isles, and that it's really, you know, a mechanism for the united states and outside powers, including saudi arabia and so forth. and that this - it doesn't represent them. they'll continue fighting, that is the problem, is that the political opposition doesn't and cannot control what is going on on the ground inside syria. so they may turn up. on the other hand you have to start from some place. if the world can get better organised at pushing the various

actors towards diminishing violence, that's a beginning, because the outside powers play a big role in this. >> we'll leave it on that optimistic note. joshua landis joining us from oklahoma. thank you for your time. >> meanwhile syrian state media reports the deaths of 37 people after a suicide bombing in the central city of hama. dozens were injured. the attacker, driving a truck, is said to have debtonated explosives at the eastern entrance of the city. it follows a suicide attack killing 16 soldiers at a checkpoint near the capital on saturday. rebels took the position. there has been heavy fighting since. opposition activists say the military launched airraids on a checkpoint in the suburb of damascus. >> a total of it 11 hostages have returned to their families in lebanon and turkey. it's part of a complex deal

between lebanese, turkey and syria and syrian opposition fighters. the rebels freed nine lebanese shi'as held since last year, two turkish pilots kidnapped in retaliation in lebanon were let go, and more than 100 female prisoners in syria james are expected to be released. >> 55 students have been arrested after fighting with egyptian police in cairo, protesting against the military backed government. security forces used tear gas to disperse demonstrators at the university. dozens of bushfires are burning in australia, forcing thousands of people to leave their homes. the government has declared a state of emergency in the state of new south wales. one man died, 200 homes have been destroyed since thursday.

andrew thomas has more from the blue mountains near sydney. >> despite all efforts the fires are burning. the blue mountains, west of sydney orange and grey as they are blackened. this is a situation likely to get worse. weather forecasts, which had predicted rain over the coming days were wrong. the most up to date suggest it's about to get hotter and windier. . >> this is continuing, volatile, difficult, dangerous fire-fighter environment. based on the forecast, based on the size of the fires, it's spected to become worse. >> in sparsely populated areas people are receiving warnings by text message, "leave", or if it's too late, "shelter, fast." this is what they are trying to prevent. more than 200 homes were burnt since the fires on thursday. it's obvious how intense the fire was. it lasted only a couple of hours, enough to destroy almost everything.

a few things distinguishable. the washing machine, the ladder melted at the end. and here - the pages of a book. the house was peter moore's. already insurance assessors have been around to reassure him financial help is on the way, three days after he lost everything. he has advice for others who may go through the same trauma. >> you say to people you can only do so much. but in the end, you just have to make sure that your loved ones are safe. >> only one person has died as a result of the fire so far. few have been injured. animals, wild and domestic have not been lucky. >> this guy had hays forefeet burnt. we have to give him anaesthetic, clean up the wound, put bandages on him, he's on antibiotics, anti-inflammatory and heavy doses of pain-killer.

>> the fires began when wind brought down powerlines, but elsewhere it is being investigated whether an explosives training exercise by the army sparked another. the fear is with rising temperatures and increasing winds more accidental sparks will light others. >> still to come on the newshour - a tentative deal to settle bad deals contributing to the global economic meltdown. we tell you how much the bank jpmorgan may be paying out. and calling for more access against lead poisoning. a report from a nigerian village where more than 200 children have died. in sport, we'll hear whether egypt's coach believes his team have a chance of reaching the world cup.

she was his confidante and understand him. she sheltered him from those on many occasions. >> they married in 1952 when titto was 60. she was his fourth wife and 32 years his journal. at titto's funeral her grief was all-too apparent as she wept for the love of her life. only three months after the funeral she was secretly and force fully e-victoriaed from her home to this building, put under house arrest. she felt betrade and frightened as she is a dangerous witness for many. communism fell apart. secret services were not dismantled, local and international. they didn't want her to talk about what she now for instance on the preparations for the violent break-up of yugoslavia

or give test moanies on important people on politics. she was and still is an inconvenient witness. >> she requested to be buried alongside her husband. if approved the woman who knew too much will be buried taking with her secrets of a volatile era. >> a nazi war criminal who died under house arrest in rome will be buried in a secret location. eric pridco was convicted of taking part in atrocities. >> from the grave eric preibke is defending his actions from the second. >> the experience for me was the same as everyone. it was a terrible thing for us to have to do such a thing. >> the video from the convicted

he would have been shot if he had not followed the orders of his commanding officer. >> translation: naturally it was not possible to refuse. schulz told us it was an order from hitler. we had to obey. whoever was not prepared to do that better prepare to go with the victims, because he would be stopped. >> germany refused to take the body, fearing the grave could be a pilgrimage site of nazi supporters. relatives want him cremated. >> a girl found in a roma camp in greece is said to be in good health. she was found living with a roma couple who claimed she has their daughter. dna tests confirmed they are not related. police are investigating whether the girl was a victim of child trafficking. the roma couple have been arrested and charged with

the abuses during the foreclosure and mortgage crisis. we don't have some of the final details that will determine whether or not behaviour changes. one of those details people should be on the look out for is whether or not jpmorgan admits to wrongdoing. we have seen settlements where banks wrote large checks, but they said they did nothing wrong. the terms of whether they admit wrongdoing determines whether things change or whether taxpayers get a sense of vined kags. >> do -- vindication. >> do we know where the $13 billion will go? >> no, that's a big part of the question, what the final total is or where it's going. there was a big settlement a year and a half ago which the major banks were involved in. a lot of the money was credits for doing stuff they would have done - writing down loans or giving homes abandoned to up tos. we want to make sure the money goes where it's needed and where

it is appropriate that it goes. that's important, in addition to culpabilitiy and the final total. >> how do you think - not just the settlement but others that you mentioned will change the way ine jpmorgan and other banks operate. this is the big question. it will determine how the economy evolves. there's a lot of abuses during the housing bubble. there has been a large amount of regulation. this will be the final step in terms of - this is what taxpayers will get for the abuses that take place. you know, the housing market is starting to come back in the united states. it's very weak. the terms - whether or not there are protections and changes that have taken place at the biggest banks will be determinative of how big the judgments are. >> this was, if it turns out to be a settlement will be a huge amount of money. what does that tell us about how

the authorities are treating this, how seriously they are taking it. >> it seems they are taking it quite seriously. we have seen - part of this has to do with independent persons in charge of gfc, whose independent administration has pushed hard for the settlement to be a large one. we have seen a lot of can kicking and people ignoring abuses in the government. this group pushed this hard. it's a unique and appropriate and useful thing for taxpayers. this is a big deal. i mean, you know, it could change things for the better. if there's not culpabilitiy, if you money doesn't go where it needs to it could be a missed opportunity. >> members of the boko haram killed a number of people near the nigeria border near cameroon. it happened in the north-east. an eyewitness counted six dead

lead poisoning affects thousands of people every year,

especially children. the world health organization says there are ways to reduce the riskses and has called for action to eliminate the use of the metal. led exposure is estimated to contribute to the estimated 600,000 new cases of children with intellectual disabilities every year. children are particularly vulnerable because they absorb four to five times as much led as adults. those at highest risk are the very young and the very poor. we have this report from nigeria's zamfara state where lead is used in mining. fatima is four years old and has lead poisoning. she is among more than 1,000 children here who regular come to this rural clinic for treatment. her mother has lost two children already. >> translation: fatima has seizures and runs a fever. every time it gets worse. memories of my two dead children

come back to me. i'm afraid of losing fatima. all five children have similar symptoms. >> the surrounding vil iges sit on huge cold reserves. in the rush to extract the metal, unskilled miners came home wearing clothing contaminated with lead, polluting households. a u.s. company cleaned up the lead in homes. that eliminated the risk of more contamination, and allowed for the treatment of infected children to begin. so far doctors without borders or medecins sans frontieres have success fully treated 1,600 children in aid villages. hundreds of children are not as lucky. this village lost about 200. life here is getting back to normal after the clean-up. doctors from medecins sans frontieres are faced with a hum task of treating more than 1,000

cases. the aid agencies helping the children is warning that the problem is bigger than originally thought. >> there are more villages in the area affected. msf has not the capacities to take care of all villages. there are 30 villages identified in which msf are not working, which suffer from lead poisoning. treatment for these children is expensive and takes time. doctors say it could take up to five years of visits, medication and laboratory testing. for the mother the discovery of gold in their communities is a curse. their only concern now is nursing their children back to health. with so much activity at the goldmine, there's a good chance that the situation will get worse.
