to walk out of prison thanks to forged documents sent to the clerk of the court. once out they walked into a jail in orlando to do what's required by law, to register as felons and have mug shots be taken and fingerprinted. a mother of one of the murder victims heard about walker's release from the corrections department. even the judge whose name was forged on the papers was impressed. >> i've never seen anything like this. you have to give them an a for being imagine active. >> family members of the fun actives pleaded to the cameras. >> we love you. we believe in you. we just want you to surrender yourself to someone you trust who will bring you back to safety. >> reporter: with reports out that the two killers were on the loose, the two men huddled together in orlando, hatched a plan and made their way here to the coconut grove motel in

panama city, florida, and authorities zeroed in on them in room 227. >> they surrounded the room and using a p.a. system from a car were able to instruct them that they knew where they were and wanted them to come out. >> neither were armed, and the apprehension was without a fight. they were then arrested and taken to the bay county jail and questioned without bond. on sunday morning a judge charged both men with one count of escape and ordered them to sit in a county jail until october 25th before they would be transferred back to the prison that they originaled escaped from. >> while the manhunt is over, there's still a lot that we do not know. i can tell you that there will be more arrests, obviously and we will be backtracking to those that helped to carry out the fraud. >> this remains an active investigation. the incident embarrassed florida prison officials who were eager to find suspected accomplices and put them behind bars as well. >> robert ray reporting. in less than an hour it's

so much rainfall, we had excessing flooding and lives were lost from mudslides. very destructive storm, and that was manuel. now we have raymond heading to the similar state. it's going to be just sitting offshore spinning around. bands of very heavy rainfall from thunderstorms and showers. the track of this is to move closer to the shore by tuesday, and it is not until tuesday that we're going to say it finally make a turn out into open water. the bigger issue with this storm is it's still very uncertain what the path will be and how much rain and wind the coast of acapulco will get once again still reeling from manuel last month. then we're watching typhoon francisco. it will make a similar tract towards japan as their last typhoon did. we keep tracking the storms that hit over and over around the pacific. we have another system offshore, and this is tropical depression

28 and it will move towards the marshall islands bringing excessive amounts of rain to 4 inches. we'll have more on the forecast for rainfall here in the u.s., though our story is more about snow. jonathan. >> okay, looking forward to it, rebecca. ahead on "al jazeera america," the week ahead. budget talks, opposition to the president's health care law. what washington can do to get along. >> america has to work on both sides of the aisle. that's the best thing that works. we sit here tonight and have a conversation, and they have to sit there and have a conversation in washington. kenyan soldiers deny they were looting after the mall attack, but new video tells a much different story. explore issues relevant to you.

(vo) al jazeera america we understand that every news story begins and ends with people. >> the efforts are focused on rescuing stranded residents. (vo) we pursue that story beyond the headline, past the spokesperson, to the streets.

>> thousands of riot police deployed across the capitol. (vo) we put all of our global resources behind every story. >> it is a scene of utter devastation. (vo) and follow it no matter where it leads, all the way to you. al jazeera america. take a new look at news. a state of emergency has been declared in southeastern australia where fires are raging out of control. 56 wildfires are burning, a dozen near sydney in the state of new south wales. the front line stretches 180 miles. that's longer, by the way, than the length of new jersey. joining us now is al jazeera's andrew thomas. andrew, are firefighters making my progress with these blazes?

>> reporter: jonathan, what they're saying is that what could be coming is a megafire. the fires that already exist are bad enough. they're concerned that three huge bush fires they're called here might join together. the winds pick up and the heat increases. these three existing fires become one huge fire ball that would have a fire front in the hundreds of miles. that may not be able to be contained. now, the threat then is to people's homes. at the moment the fires are raging in sparsely populated areas. in other words, lots of destruction of homes last thursday, most of the existing fires are away from people's homes. if the winds go in the wrong direction, they can head towards a famous tourist town in the blue mountains and springward or down the blue mountains towards sydney impacts the western suburbs of sydney.

that will be catastrophic. the state emergency described means that firefighters have the right to compel people to leave rather than request them to leave their homes. it means firefighters have the right to go in and tell people to get out because we're going to take your house down and demolish it because it's in our way. some drastic measures there if the authorities need them as the winds pick up and the temperatures increase over the next 24 to 48 hours. a very serious situation. australian authorities are saying these are the worst bush fires across the state of new south wales since the 1950s. that gives you some idea how big this bush fire crisis is. >> stunning the efforts firefighters are doing to stop the blazes. what's expected, though, over the next few days? >> reporter: well, they're hoping to contain the fires. that's what it's all about. what they do is fight fire with fire. they light the bushland, the

scrubland around the h of the fire perimeter and create a buffer zone and allow the fire to burn to that zone and hopefully not over that. they hope to control the fire. they don't hope to put it out. the area is too vast, but if they can control the fire they can steer it away from populated areas. the hope is at some point it might rain. it's barely rained in this part of southeastern australia since june. that gives you an idea how dry it is. tony abbott has been a volunteer firefighters for many years. it's easy to be cynical about the actions of politicians, but over the weekend on saturday night tony abbott went out with his crew and actively fought the fires. he wasn't just doing it for a photo opportunity, but he was there hose in hand doing his bit. easy to be cynical, but the fact he's out there giving up all other matters of state to be on the ground to fight the fires shows how serious they are. >> it's encouraging that he's out there trying to help. do we have any idea what may have sparked these wildfires,

andrew? >> reporter: well, the rumors that an 11-year-old boy may have sparked one by deliberately lighting a fire in the northern part of new south wales. he's being questioned by police at the moment. there's speculation another big fire maiven sparked by an army training exercise. they were using explosives on thursday last week when it was hot and windy. the big fire around springwood, the one closest to sydney, that's believed to have started when power lines came down in high winds. different reasons, but all creating sparks. once something is lit, it's very, very hard to contain it. of course, these fires spread incredibly fast. >> andrew thomas live for us in australia. thank you for that. washington faces another busy week ahead. the government is back in business, but it's only a temporary fix. negotiators soon need to meet for budget talks and there will be fights over any can you

tells. the gop is deals with infighting and an identical crisis made painfully public during the standoff. the obama administration apologized for glitches in the website healthcare.gov. earlier i chatted about it, about whether republicans are actually in trouble. >> any party out of power has more than one leader. you have the speaker, the minority leader in the senate and the rnc chair. the party of power in the white house has one message, and we have three messages. that's more challenging. within those three different areas of the parties, you have an opportunity for any group that's a minority to speak up and have power, too, and thoer voice. >> you don't see the pea party as a threat to the establishment? >> no. these are men and women that care about spending and the taxes they pay and they care about the country. they have a different way of doing things somewhat, and they have the right to do that.

the question is how everyone has to work together, whether it's the president, the tea party with the republicans or democrats. reach across the i'll and work together. >> do you worry we'll see another showdown next year when the budget debate comes up again? >> i'll give a huge amount of credit for dramatically under emphasized. according to gallup the republican party has a favorability of 28%, which is the lowest level for any political party recorded in the history of the gallup polling. number one. number two, the democrats are ahead of the republicans by six points in the congressional ballot, so you have lost ground electorally across the country. number three, the republicans managed to do the one thing that even the president couldn't do, which is spike support for obamacare by 7 points. the one thing they were against they actually drove up favorability towards. so i think the republican brand is in tremendous difficulty, and speaker boehner has to get

control of the conference in order to avoid another problem the beginning of the year. >> one of the factual events is more than two-thirds of americans want to get rid of every congressional member, too. that's both parties and not republican or democrat. the system is broken down there. >> bernard, the fact that president obama tomorrow is talking about problems with the obamacare website. an apology was issued for that. does this not give the critics some credibility here? >> that's what's amazing. the republican party actually had an opportunity to highlight and make changes to obamacare. instead they shot themselves in the foot by going on a crazy tactic to shut down the government until tinkers with obamacare. i think the president is open to that. the program is actually weakened in the public's eyes because people haven't signed on. they could have had an tount to really make a difference, but here's the thing. 19 million people have tried to access the site, 500,000 are in the process of enrolling. i give credit to the

administration for putting together a program that is extremely popular, but i give huge criticism to the administration for not being prepared, although, you know, from a technical standpoint this always happens. but it's been rather embarrassing. >> whether you say it's popular, is it because people are forced to do it or pay fines? are they forced to do it because they don't have health care and that's the only outlet they have? >> that's precisy. >> why did theyal lou people to go across state lines or if you're california and want to go to nevada, why can't you go across state lines? >> health and human services is apologizing for problems with the affordable care act website. in a blog tonight the government acknowledged the site has frustrated a lot of americans writing the initial consumer experience of healthcare.gov did not live up to the expectations of the american people. we are committed to doing better. officials called in outside help. president obama plans to address the problems tomorrow in the rose garden, and the

administration says about 476,000 people have applied for health care through the exchanges. >> all right. ross is here with sports headlines and drama in washington and drama with the football. >> buckle up. jonathan, a lot of roller coaster rides for teams. i swear like every single game came down to the final minutes, including the pittsburgh match-up. pittsburgh had the lead for most of the game, but the ravens tie it up late. with three seconds left, pittsburgh would go on to win it on a last-second field goal, and the steelers win their second straight game. dallas cowboys knocked out the eagles for first place in the nfc east. nick had to leave the game with a head injury as the cowboys rough up the eagles 17-3. i love a good streak, and who doesn't. the kansas city chiefs have won

six straight games. do i hear seven? yes, yes. it's case closed, chiefs have the 17-16 history over the texans to improve to 7-0 in the season. the only other indecent team on the ropes as we speak, the denver broncos trailing the colts 36-23. >> big game. we'll see what happens with that. okay. still ahead on al jazeera, she's called the blonde angel. a 4-year-old girl found in a roma community in greece. why investigators fear she could be part of a child trafficking network. plus, iran's new warning about its nuclear activity. uncovers unheard, fascinating news stories? it drives discussion across america. >> share your story on tv and online.

welcome back to "al jazeera america." i'm jonathan betz, and here's the top stories this half hour. federal safety inspectors are on the scene of this weekend's train accident in a san francisco suburb. two people were killed during the second day of a workers strike, leaving questions as to whether the strike had anything to do with the fatality. trains and unions have been on

strike since friday over a list of issues including wages and benefits. three died in egypt after gunmen attacked a wedding at a coptic church. the members of the church gathered at the scene to pray only hours after gunmen on motorcycles opened fire. no one has yet claimed responsibility. australia has declared a state of emergency in new south wales. brush fires there are raging out of control. a dozen of those are near the capital of sidney. 56 other wildfires are burning throughout the country. one wall of fire stretches 180 miles, and that's longer than the length of new jersey. newly released security video shows what appears to be kenyan soldiers looting a store during last month's attack at a nairobi mall. men in fatigues are taking items and fill plastic bags with merchandise and others are seen walking out store holding bags. kenyan security forces denied any wrongdoing.

it's been a month since the tragic attack. dozens of customers were killed that day, and a month later their families are still looking for answers. al jazeera has the story. >> reporter: for james the west gate shopping mall isn't so much a memorial as it is a grave. he was supposed to join his aunt and two children here to celebrate the eldest one's 4th birthday on the day the gunmen attacked. all three of them are still missing. the photo is a painful reminder of what happened here. >> she was my aunt, the first one. >> reporter: jaerary brought her son and daughter to a westgate for a treat. since then james has heard nothing, and now he's full of unanswered questions. >> they've been protected, and now they're hiding for us, which it is very wrong because we need to know. we know if the bodies are there. we need to do a ceremony to bury

them, to bury our people. they're not doing that. >> reporter: one month on from westgate, we still know very little of what happened after the shooting began. police and civilians in the military did their best to rescue people in what now seems like a well-intentioned attempt to contain the crisis. new silent video from security cams shows four relatively relaxed gunmen hunting down and shooting anybody they could find. this doesn't look like a well-coordinated military operation. more a random attempt to create as much bloodshed and fear as possible. the new video seems to raise far more questions than it answered. if there were only four men involved in the attack here, as the video suggests, why was the government initially tells us that there could be as many as 15 involved? and how was it that such a small group of lightly armed men were able to fight off the kenyan security services here for

almost four days? this is a former intelligence officer. he believes the government should have seen westgate coming. >> officers were aware of a possible attack. we didn't seem to be prepared. we didn't seem to have been prepared for it. we don't seem to have learned. >> reporter: the government has launched an inquiry, but so far it's declined to release the results or give any more information about what happened inside a building that's become a word for terror and confusion. al jazeera, nairobi. a warning from iran about negotiations over its nuclear program less than a week after talks resumed. iran's parliament speaker issued a warning on sunday that too much pressure from the west during talks could force the islamic republic to accept up nuclear activity. iran wants sanctions pulled back. the west wants iran to halt the

highest level uranium enrichment which they claim is several steps away from being weapons grade. another round of talks is scheduled next month in geneva. the mexican government is condemning spies after they learned the e-mails were hacked by the nsa. the magazine reported it got into the e-mail of former president calderon. mexico called the spying unacceptable and against international law. last month brazilian president rousseff canceled a visit to washington after learning they looked into her communications. shies she's called the blonde angel found last week, but they worry the mystery surrounding her may be a larger problem. we have more. >> reporter: greek authorities are now investigating whether this blonde 4-year-old is the victim of a child trafficking network. >> it shows that the community

combined effort of these people to buy and sell children, and we have good commodities like this trying to find a better price because this was in the streets of giza and everybody thought she was cute. >> the little girl known asthma rhea speaks a few words in the roma dialect and greek. they think she may be from scandinavia or bulgaria. >> she was living in very bad conditions, and she was neglected. no signs of any abuse, but it was in deterioration. she was dirty. >> reporter: she was discovered during a police drug raid. a dna check of the cup claiming to be her parents show she's not her biological child. people in the roma community deny the allegations of

kidnapping and trafficking and fear the case could spark further discrimination against them. >> translator: she was given to us, and we raised her. she had problems with her eyes. we took her to the doctor. we took her everywhere. we didn't take her to sell her. >> reporter: a roma community spokesman says the girl had a good life with the people who were raising her. >> translator: she spent her days well. i can tell you better than her other siblings, the biological ones. >> reporter: by sunday the charity received more than 8,000 calls about her including from the united states. greek police have asked interpol for help finding the child's real family. officials in argentina are trying to figure out what caused a commuter train crash in bun air res on saturday. the train smashed through the

buffers and ended up wedged between the floor and ceiling of the train platform. just last year a similar crash at the same train station killed 51 people. thousands of children in east africa suffer from a little understood disease called nodding's syndrome. the cause is unknown and there's no cure. in uganda one group of children suffering from the disease have suddenly gotten better. malcolm webb reports. >> walter can no longer talk or barely eat. he's 12 years ago out but his body is stunted. he has knotting syndrome fount in certain areas of east africa. here thousands of children have it, and there's no cure and eventually it kill i had. his sister grace has it, too. most of the time she's too weak to come out of the hut. the parents don't know what to do. >> translator: it's very difficult to look at these two

children. as a mother it's unbearable. i hope for any kind of support from any well w-wishewell-wishe. without that i feel useless and think they can eventually die. >> reporter: a few kilometers away it's a different scene. these children came to the special day for a year, and the improvement in their health is astounding. they're given basic education, balanced meals and the staff help them to wash every day. >> those that are not talking, now they can talk. we have some of them here. you can see them. those who could not play, they're now jumping, kicking. they were having no smiles on their paces, and now they laugh and they jump. >> reporter: they're still not cured. nodding syndrome gets its name because victims get seizures

that often begin with nodding. the children get seizures here, but they happen less frequently and staff are trained how to handle them. medicines for treating epilepsy help and it vitamin supplements too. the drugs alone have a limited affect. the whole program of daily activities is crucial. it was set up by two american doctors. they run a charity for nodding sydrome called hope for humans. nodding syndrome has baffled disease experts and there's no known could you recall. the children are improved considerably and that's simply because they get what all children need, some balanced meals, some exercise, some suitable education and some simple hygiene. that suggests that the reason that nodding syndrome is so devastating in this area is because of the broader context of extreme poverty. walter lives too far from the center to walk there. the government provides services

to children with nodding syndrome, but with much less sincerely yours sus. malcolm webb, al jazeera in nornt uganda. still ahead on al jazeera, it's week seven in the nfl with some key match-ups this sunday. ross will have the latest in sports next. also, flying high overhead. more on a new generation of drones designed to serve journalists instead of soldiers.

>> the most important money stories of the day might affect your savings, your job or your retirement. whether its bail-outs or bond rates this stuff get complicated. but don't worry. i'm here to take the fear out of finance. every night on my show i break down confusing financial speak and make it real. >> every morning from 6 to 10am al jazeera america brings you more us and global news than any other american news channel. find out what happened and what to expect. >> start every morning, every day, 6am to 10 eastern with al jazeera america. before last week's bill that ended the government shutdown and raised the debt ceiling, the

u.s. was headed to default. lew said it was a close call for the economy. >> there was a faction particularly in the house that took control of some of the direction of this debate. i would just look to what republican leaders have said themselves about how inadvise i believe it is and how it can't happen again. i think the message we have to send going forward is that there was a turning point on wednesday night, and it won't happen again. it can't happen again. >> it has caused tension in washington with many saying it's unclear what steps the gop should take in order to avoid further fracturing. earlier i speak with john hubert who is a professor at the college. i asked whether they should welcome the pea taert platform. >> for them to embrace the tea party would be electorally suicidal if the goal is to win a national election such as the presidency and to control the

majority of the congress. although they have very deep and intense support in certain pockets of country, there's still a small minority of public only. about about a quarter of americans right now will say that they are republicans, and only a fraction of those are tea party members. the republican party won the minority of the votes in the last house election, and although the democrats got more than a million more votes for republican candidates, they won a majority because of gerri mannedering that goes on in the congressional redistricting processes. for them to say they can do better seems fairly far-fetched. drones are often used in war because they can reach places nothing else can get to. as john reports, journalists are looking at drones for the very same reason. >> reporter: for the newest

media frontier, the sky is the limit. matt waite was watched the demonstration of an unmanned aircraft when he had an epifany. i thought there is every turned i've covered, hurricane, flood, wildfire, biblical disaster. use your imagination. >> drones long served as the eyes and arms of the u.s. military and intelligence agencies, but they believe the capabilities of $1500 drones like this could be just as useful to news organizations. >> he walks in my office and says, i want to create a drone journalism lab. my first thought was, what is that? >> reporter: with a $50,000 grant from the knight foundat n foundation, they launched the first uav lab for young

journalists. >> we are quite literally creating this new tool for journalists to use, because there is no -- there are no guidelines. there are no suggestions on how you should use this, what you could use it for. we're making everything up, and i want to keep doing that. >> the picture on your test model may look wobbly, but with refinements it could look like that. it could mean no place is out of reach. they're still in a work in progress, but a drone is also in use in australia to cover cricket. could unmanned paparazzi anext? it's so ahead of the law, it left many chances unanswered. >> somebody says if that flies over my house, i'm getting out my shotgun and shoot it down. as silly as it sounds, it's not clear whether or not they could

do that. we're kind of writing the rule book. >> commercial drones are still illegal in the u.s. but aviation authorities are crafting new laws filling skiet by 2014. al jazeera, lincoln nebraska. here are ross in sports. the patriots got off to a good start at least. >> before the game, it was all smiles, and it was a good news and bad news kind of day. gronkowski was back on the field, and no one was happier to see him than tom brady. he's had multiple surgeries on his arm and back. the big fellow is getting his groove on like you would not believe. he has eight catches for 114 yards. it was tied a 7-7 in the first quarter and gino smith throwing a perfect strike to logan ryan. ryan plays for the patriots.
