10:00 am
they are laying downy
10:01 am
their arms. also, this time. lift off for india's mongol, next stop, mars. hello, in london, with all the latest from europe. more work needs to be done. further uncertainty as they struggle to end high unemployment. and in the u.k., a somali money transfer service wins a court battle, meaning it can stay open for now. no surprise, really, but still no confirmed date for the so called peace talks. that is the message from the envoy. who is in geneva. efforts to organize the conference which was scheduled in some minds to happen later on this month, have proven even
10:02 am
hearted than expected. the u.n. in new york the security council has been briefed on the progress of chemical weapons inspectors working inside syria. to take part, but there are several apparently immovable obstacles. >> as you know,. >> are meant to prepare for the second conference, second conference in syria. we were hoping that we would be in a position to announce it today. unformingly, we are not. but we are still striving to see if we can have the conference before the end of the year, and you know, as far as the united nations united nations is concerned we are ready, and they are
10:03 am
impatient to get this conference going, because the situation in syria is extremely bad. the humanitarian efforts are telling us today that there is 6,000 people every day leaving syria for the neighboring countries. >> the situation inside syria we're talking -- i myself said several times that there is almost one third of the population that is frequently suffering from this situation. inside syria or refugees. but the united nations is saying now, there is more than 9 million people who are directly effected. >> we are looking at every angle, every side of this story. in new york, but first simon megagregor who has been outside that building where mr. bra himmy has been given his
10:04 am
press conference. i see a certain weariness. he says there could be talked he didn't sound that hopeful. >> no he didn't, and he has been renowned for his optimism, but i think we may have seen him run out of that today. there are some problems one he pointed to is the opposition getting its act together, and describing what he described as a delegation to the talks. he said the tri-group, would meet again here in geneva on the twenty-fifth of november. by which time he hopes they had got themselves organized and put together this delegation. they will meet on the 9th this coming saturday, to see whether they can resolve issues they have where coming to geneva 2.
10:05 am
and then as you said, mr. bra homemy would hope to get this process up and running and started by the end of the year. that there is absolutely no military solution, the only possible solution is a political one. is only solution for the humanitarian crisis is a political solution to the crisis. in addition to what we have been saying. forever, really, since the beginning of this crisis, that is that there is normally a solution to this. the government is not going to win, and the opposition is not going to win. simon interesting while he referenced the secretary generals impatient, he also went into some detame about the weariness, of the international community,
10:06 am
and having to sort of pay four, five, 6 billion every month he said to try to sort out this problem. >> je, that's right, and he said there would be another pledging conference. but this idea of dredging up billions of dollars to try to keep people in syria alive, is not a sort of long term solution to this. this has to be sorted out through a political solution. the two sides have to stop fighting hopefully by the end of the year, to stop a credible political process, and that is the only way he implied that there would be some measure of relief. to this appalling humanitarian crisis. >> simon, thank you very much. we switch to new york our dip lo malik editor is there, and we were talking about the supposed impatience of the u.n. secretary general. what sort of mood are you getting there from the number of people who have been coming in and out of
10:07 am
the security council? >> well, i think people are very depressed about this idea of geneva 2, which you will hear from the russians and u.s., they say it is the only way forward, but they have been saying that since they talked about the idea back in may. the original date was going is to be in june. now, rather than talking about a conference by the end of november, they are talking by the end of the year, and i can tell you here, there are some now even talking about ambassador bro homemy and whether he is the right man to lead this effort. some diplomats saying if he fails then maybe there is a new effort led by a new man. suggesting maybe he could set aside his other work, for programmy fails. a lot of grim atmosphere. on the military track,
10:08 am
the one bit of positive news, perhaps is on those chemical weapons. player say the plan is on track, that it has managed to close down all of its chemical weapons. we were briefed by the u.s. ambassador, the russian ambassador, but first by the special coordinator of this whole effort. the report speaks of progress to date under very difficult circumstances. it speaks of the very rapid launch of the joint mission, leveraging the combined assets and expertise of the two organizations. it speaks of the cooperation with the authorities and references the need with future assistance. >> we are very pleased with what we heard from ms. cart today, and the fact is that the
10:09 am
resolution 2118 is being implemented well, and with good base. good cooperation from the government. >> the chemical weapons agreement have not changed the u.s. position on asaad. a man who gases his people, and who uses scuds and all other forms of terror against his people, is not fit to govern those people. this deal takes away a weapon. it is not something he wants and it is not something that helps him. >> in a sense, you have to admire his bluntness in saying, the world is getting tired of paying out to france, we have to find some kind of political solution. he pointed out that the humanitarian situation is
10:10 am
deteriorating. if it can get any worse it will. >> it is certainly getting worse, and the neighboring countries dodges to grow. those at great risk continues to grow as well. some will compare the situation with regard to chemical weapons particularly when they are condemning the syrian government. because they say look at how they have helped those weapons teams. why can't is this happen for the humanitarian workers. why can't they go with their aid and medicine, wherever they want in the country. one possible bit of good news, and i do advice some caution here, because it is early stage, but there are discussions around the security council table it's being called a contact group for humanitarian situations.
10:11 am
possibly other members of the security council, and some regional countries for example, the saudis maybe the iranians and then where they are the sticking points and these problems getting access for humanitarian teams either with the government or the opposition, they look at those and those nations that may have sway with the opposition, for example, the saudis, and those that may have sway with the government, the russians and the irhinians maybe they can find a way to those they have influence over, and say why don't you think again, why don't you let this team in, it is an early stage. the news and the nuances there. and simon mcgregor wood outside that press conference in boeheimmy, we thank you both. to africa now, and the rebel commander and the democrat republic is believed to have fled across the border to
10:12 am
rwanda. his escape comes as his move is in ruins with the political leader. vying that fighters will lay down their arms. it can signal the end of the conflict in the drc. the army has been bombarding the group in the east of the country, pushing it back into hill tops near the city. malcolm web sends up this update with one of the last rebel strong holds. >> the remaining m 23 rebel fighters have fled, and the government troops have moved into their last hill top positions that they were fighting from just a day ago. some of the government troops we have spoken to say that the driver of the rebel leader surrendered, that's general mcenga's driver. he says that he himself fled. so people here are waiting to find out if that's true, and see what the government is going to do with him. in the meantime, the government is consolidating its new ground and bringing in
10:13 am
new troops. it would be difficult for them to continue. it seems that the government finally has control. >> well, this international studies john hopkins university, and he told us that while it may be the end of the m 23 group, it doesn't guarantee peace for the eastern congo. you need to keep in mind it is only one of two groups in the region. the rapes of thousands and thousands of one, and
10:14 am
displacement of 2 million condoles. and the problem is that impunity has been the core of the challenge in the region. it is the fuel of the conflict, the new development now pushing knew ban da to show real leadership and show this to justice. as grievances will remain unsolved. especially for the communities that have been effected. >> death sentences for more than 150 soldiers over a mutiny in 2009. and look to make history as they prepare to host the cs game in the championships league.
10:15 am
the irainian peninsula has launch add series of attacks. it is retaliating against drone strikes can have targeted its fighters. more from the yemen capital. >> al quaida and the arabian peninsula season othe offensive. its fighters are seen here, attacking military posts in yemen's province. the gunfire was just the beginning. what happened next would be one of the most violent attacks against government troops. into a check point, killing dozens of soldiers. two attack which took place a few weeks ago is among a series of al quaida operations targeting security forces. a couple hundred is a syrian commander, he
10:16 am
accuses the yemen government of passing on crucial intelligence on his group, to the u.s. government. which then launches drone attacks against his fighters. >> it's a war between muslims and crusaders. it's got to the point where the u.s. ambassador has been described as the actual ruler of yemen. the earn has been deployed and at the provinces two of al quaida strong holds. weakens by years of instability, soldiers are assisted by local militias. colonel says yemen's armies undergoing major transformation, to deal with al quaida's increasing threats. >> we started an operation to rout al quaida, but it is going to take time. it is an operation that requires huge efforts. we are adopting a new
10:17 am
strategy and also hot fying our tactics. >> but al quaida remains defiant. it's presence is almost everywhere. including the capitol. the increased security that you see here, comes after attacks against government targets. despite the on going military operation and u.s. drone attacks, al quaida is far from defeated. the group is very active in the south, where it enjoys tribal protection. and it's even expanding in some areas where there's no significant military presence. al jazeera. >> the european commission is saying there is some light at the end of the tunnel for the trouble euro economy, but warns that times are still pretty tough, let's get the details on that and the rest of the european news. >> david the euro zone may have reached a turning point.
10:18 am
there will be growth one year, but at 1.1%. it will be higher than first though remaining at the current level of 12.2%, which can mean more than 20 million people out of a job next year. and more problems for spain, predicting that its debt will rise further over the next two years. jackie roland has more from paris. >> the european commission says that there are clear signs that the economy both within the euro zone, and within the e.u. as a whole, has reached a turning point. it would appear to vindicate the kind of tough medicine which has been prescribed, but at the same time, the commission is warning that growth will be slower to pick up and it will only be very gradually that increased growth will lead to an improvement in the employment situation.
10:19 am
sew the commissioner is saying this is a time to keep working and in burglar there are a couple of issues that is still great concern, and one of them is implement. specifically youth unemployment. we have seen countries across europe trying to cut public spending and in particular by cutting the public sector, cutting jobs. reducing benefits all of this has led to unrest in a number of countries and also to political problems so it is quite clear that while there may be some positive trends there is reason to be very cautious about the outlook within europe. >> meanwhile, unemployment in spain is getting worse. new figures show the number of people without a job increased yet again in october. more than 4 million are now unemployed.
10:20 am
earlier -- authorities expect unemployment to stay above 25%, through 2015. >> anger too in greece. government employs there heckled and geared. as they left a meeting at the finance ministry in athens. the mass delegation visiting the city to check the progress in meeting its bail out commitments. meanwhile u.k. has been praised by the better life index. it ranks above average when it comes to job, earning and housing. as lawrence lee explains house prices are going up so fast, it is becoming increasingly difficult for people on the lower end of the pay scale to afford to live there.
10:21 am
certainly people like louize have to live in a los till would have had no chance of ard toking anything much better. >> it depends on who you are personally. i think living on the streets is probably be a bit more depressing than living in a shaping container. >> the idea whose man it was is putting up dozens in east london. >> i am so angry, that in london we have such enormous wealth, that there's enough to go around. if people shared, if there was justice and fairness, you wouldn't require anything like that. but if we don't do this, there's nothing. >> driven by low interest rates and influx of wealthy foreigners house prices in london have seen 10% growth, and a boom for the construction industry. queen to make the dreams come true, for london's young model families. >> the problem in london's property market
10:22 am
is that for many many people, the numbers simply don't work. supposing this couple have a joint salary of say $80,000 a year, which is well above the average, well, official figures say that the average price of a flat now in london is more than $600,000 that mean as bank, would have to lend them maybe eight or nine times their joint salary, to get a mortgage, and no bank in the country will do that. what it means is if they don't already own a property, they will never be able to afford one. >> this huge estate right in the center of london was due to be knocked down more than a decade ago. thousands of poor families were moved out while plans were hatched for it to be turned into affordable housing. the local council couldn't make it work, and in the end they surrendered to the developers that will turn it into more million dollar apartments. >> what would your best guess be as to how much an apartment will go for when it is done? >> i don't think of it a
10:23 am
lot of them have already been sold, but they are millions. they are expensive. millions of pounds each. this is a hub for central housing really. >> of course if you already own a property, it will most likely mean you can pay for your own, and probably leave something behind. but the young and the less well off are being failed by the market, and will never own a property to fund their healthcare when they get old. this bubble will have consequences for children yet to be born. i will have more news from europe later this hour, now back to david. >> thank you. ahead of his rival, israel says it is going to build a walt, a move
10:24 am
which would lay claim to large expansions of territory. coupled with the plans for settlements in east jerusalem, the move has propertied more skepticism about the prospects for peace. so what is the status of jerusalem in the eyes of the international community? well, it is accepted that jerusalem has a separate legal status from israel, and the rest of the occupied territories. but according to the u.n. secretary general, the precise nature can only be resolved through negotiations. the u.n. does not recognize israel's annexation of east jerusalem, it says the goal must be for jerusalem to be the capitol of two states living side by side. the arrangements of holy sites, must be acceptable to all and it is this issue that is the most explosive as mike hannah reports. >> even by the stormy
10:25 am
standards of the debate, this meeting stood out as rowdy, and a discussion in the parliamentary committee is the issue of whether jews should be allowed free access to pray on the shareef. one of islam's hollywoodiest sites. jewish prayer has always been allowed at the western wall which is under direct israeli control, but not on the shareef itself, which is administered by a trust under the authority of jordan. in the past, the status quo was largely charged only by an extreme fringe of the israeli right. but now it has become a matter of debate. >> the coalition government are members of the religious right, and the settler movement. who find common cause in gaining free access to what they call temple
10:26 am
mount. it is the most important place. to pray there is a 2,000 year dream. it is the holiest place in the jewish religion. >> but israeli palestinian members insist that to allow jewish prayer in the mobile sanctuary, would be the most provocative act. >> for palestinians this is a red line. we consider ourselves guardians of the mosque and it is our duty to defend it. if they go ahead with this, there will be massive confrontation. >> the israeli high court has refused to decide on claims that injuryish prayer on the site is a religious right, insisting that it is a security authorities that must decide whether to grant permission. former prime minister insisted on walking on the site, and while he didn't even stop to pray, the action was one of the factors that sparked the second. for those memories still
10:27 am
fresh, the official police view is that changing the status quo now, would spark massive religious and political unrest. should the prime minister continue to listen to his police, and block moves to introduce new laws it could face the collapse of the coalition government that keeps him in power. we have this in the news hour in a moment. >> crime here is sky high, am i going to raise two criminals, no, i don't think so, this is the time to leave. >> fed up with life in puerto rico. more islanders seek a better life in mainland u.s.a., and we will tell you which horse stop as nation in australia's biggest race, the melvin cup.
10:28 am
[[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.
10:29 am
10:30 am
>> al jazeera america is a straight-forward news channel. >> its the most exciting thing to happen to american journalism in decades. >> we believe in digging deep. >> its unbiased, fact-based, in-depth journalism. >> you give them the facts, dispense with the fluff and get straight to the point. >> i'm on the ground every day finding stories that matter to you. >> in new orleans... >> seattle bureau... >> washington... >> detroit... >> chicago... >> nashville... >> los angeles... >> san francisco... >> al jazeera america, take a new look at news. this is al jazeera, you are watching the news hour, and these are the top stories. still no confirmed date for the geneva 2 peace talks.
10:31 am

10:32 am
february 2009, members of the bangladesh rifles boarder guard rose in revolt, common deering their bar racks in the center, and shooting their officers who are members of the army. they demanded better wage as crack down on corruption, and the removal of army officers as their superiors. when the 30 hour siege ended 74 people were dead. including 57 army officers. it was a deeply disturbing event for a country that has seen emergency rule in its short lifetime as an independent state. beyond all expectation and description. >> a retired army general. >> i am convinced and a

fall out now four years more than 800 guards have been tried a third were found not guilty, hundreds of others were sentence to death by hanging or long prison terms they have the right to appeal. a judge presiding said there could be been motives behind the upriding, he did not elaborate. many reject official explanations for the causes and disapprove of the governments handling of the event and its aftermath. the government carries out an inquiry but has not made the conclusions public. >> families of the soldiers that were killed still say there are many unearned answers what is really behind the events of those violent days. >> zar,i the is one of them. his father was amock the dead, he wants the
10:34 am
government to make all the facts known. >> i don't think that mutiny was only based on we want more money. p i have lost my family member, so i have is the right to know what happened. and as the government, they are bound to let us know what happened. >> the end of the border guard trial brings to a conclusion a grim chapter in the history. but the mutiny stands as a reend mooer that in this country, the risk of political violence is never far from the surface. rob reynolds al jazeera, daca. >> pakistan's prime minister has hinted that peace talks may continue. now as the government had said that a u.s. drone strike on friday was an attempt to derail the peace process. taliban leader was killed in that attack, sha riff did not specifically mention the taliban, but underlined the importance of giving peace a chance.
10:35 am
>> ladies and gentlemen, 12 years old to bringing the cycle of bloodshed and violence to an end. but it cannot be done overnight. nor can it be done by unleasing senseless force, without first making every effort to bring the miss guided and confused elements of society back to the main stream. you also have to ensure that the political parties, military, and the civil society are on the same page. >> india has launch admission to mars. the 300 day journey to probe the red planet will cost $73 million, and will follow successful missions by u.s., russia, and europe, as well as failed launches by china and japan. reports now from new delhi. >> it is not the traditional start to a space launch, but the day before the launch, in a country steep with
10:36 am
tradition, nothing can be taken for granted. to get to here. >> the country's first attempt at reaching the red planet. that if successful will put the country in an elite group of three others to have reached mars. in india's capitol people were excited on what the mission means to the country. >> space exploration is an area that the country can feel proud about. i think it will unite the people, i think it will overshadow all the smaller problems that exist, if we were to succeed. >> this mission to marchs from start to launch has taken just 15 months. officials insist that it is to accommodate the window to when mars is closest to earth. academics say successfully reaching mars would not only be an
10:37 am
accomplishment for india, but for the developing world as well. >> we hope it would be successful, we have the hope reaching this kind of level of technology, which is very important to develop the country itself with high level jobs. high level technical jobs that will not out permeate a lot of things. >> a fraction of what nasa's mars mission cost including one scheduled for later this month. a low cost model that if successful could mean more indian missions to mars and the country taking a lead role in space exploration. says al jazeera, new delhi. >> officials have now unveiled images of some of the priceless pieces of art that found by tax evaders in an apartment last year.
