>> transpouration is destroyed. we've been trying to rehabilitate it, but we have priorities now. we finished building the mass gave yesterday afternoon and hopefully after the scene of the crime operatives and national bureau of investigation together with the department of health, we will be able to bury many of

our dead today. >> if you want to find out more about how people are coping, just go to our website. there's a gallery of some of the most striking images from the philippines there. that's at aljazeera.com and it is of course updated 24/7. >> now egypt's ousted president mohamed morsi has accused the republic guard of kidnapping him the day before the army overthrew him in july. he made the comments in a statement read by volunteer lawyers, who met him in prison tuesday. the former president is charged with being involved in the death of protestors outside his palace in 2012. he's refused to appoint an official legal team to represent him saying the court proceedings against him are illegitimate. here is some of the message he sent to the nation. >> let the people of egypt know that i, since july 2, i repeat, since july 2, 2013, i am

kidnapped against my own free will, in the republicken guards headquarters. >> i think after four months of not hearing at all from mohamed morsi, it's interesting that the first statements that he chooses to make that are addressed to the egyptian people are an affirmation of the fact that what he saw the events happening on the third of july were a military coupe, that he continues to be egyptians legitimate president, he never stepped down as he had been urged by the military and protestors on that day, that there was no legal mechanism for the transfer of power. as a result, because power was never transferred, the fact that he remains the legitimate president remains his point of contention. this runs counter to the

narrative the military and supporters have given, was that this was a peaceful overthrow of power, especially that they violently attacked many against it. it still keeps those questions open. >> coming up, the battle in syria. who's gaining more ground? >> plus a new alliance, far right politicians from the netherlands and france meet to discuss their thoughts on the euro and immigration. >> coming up in sports, why world cup in mexico could cost millions. >> israeli's prime minister has delayed the building of settlement homes. fearing repercussions as israel tries to stop world powers from

signing a nuclear deal with iran. the housing industry's new plans were for 24,000 homes. about 4,000 were in occupied east jerusalem and the rest in the occupied west bank. 1,200 homes are in the area that would cut them off. >> positioned between jerusalem and ramallah, the palestinian seat of government. we have more details from jerusalem. >> the israeli prime minister made clear this is a purely tactical move. he emphasized that he did not want a controversy over the new settlement plans to impact on israeli's attempts to get the iranian deal off the international table. a spokesman for the prime minister when asked about these events made two telling words, saying that the settlement development has been put on hold

for now. now, this proposal had been in the works for a period of tile as part of an annual review by the housing ministry. it was only when the peace now organization flagged it up that palestinian negotiators got in touch with the israeli justice minister, who in turn contacted the prime minister. this is a suspension of these projects. in no way is it removing it from the table. there has been little reaction from netanyahu's coalition partners. some observers expected resistance to what they see as the prime minister responding to pressure i don't mean the united states, however, the silence in the course of the day does indicate that netanyahu consulted with partners before taking this suspicion to suspend the development. >> chief palestinian negotiationer told my league that the strategy is clear. >> efforts undermine the two

step solution and destroy the negotiations, and now, even when the announcement came that they are reconsidering, look at the words he used. he used number one the term reconsider, not revoke and used the term for now, which means that the delay is temporarily, and then he used the iranian nuclear issue as the reason for why they should delay. it's not about the two step solution and the peace process. what we need to hear is the term revoke these settlement activities in order to give peace the chance it deserves. >> let me talk to you about the issue of iran. netanyahu did say the settlements would create unnecessary confrontation when israeli is trying to persuade partners to reach a better deal with iran. is israel trading off a deal with iran against peace with the palestinians and why would you accept that? >> no, i cannot accept this. i cannot accept anything about any correlation. israeli is an occupying power.

as of november 29, 2012, the general assembly and u.n. made palestine oh nation state under occupation. i cannot accept the excuses he uses to continue with his policy of dictation and activities. it's time for the international community to stop treating the government of israeli above the laws of man and to hold them accountable. those who worry about courts and international courts must top committing crimes in accordance with the geneva connections, building settlements in occupied west bang and east jerusalem is a war crime. >> the palestinians have said they will appeal to the united nations to urgently discuss this issue of the continued israeli settlement building. is that still happening and what can the u.n. do that washington

isn't already doing by pressuring israel no. >> it's not that we're threaten. it's our right, we are defending our rights, we are defending our people, our right to state hood. we're defending the land that's supposed to be the land of the palestinian state and have the full right to go to the security council general assembly as the israeli's continue settlements. it is an issue that will make or break the negotiations. imagine that if we as palestinians were to go building 20,000 housing units in israeli and yet for arabs and saying we want a state solution. what would the prime minister of israeli say? we need to get serious. netanyahu has a choice, settlement or peace. he can't have both. >> the captain of the oil tanker that sunk off spain in 2002 has

been jailed. >> this was an accident that led to one of europe's worst environmental disasters. thousands of kilometers of coastline across spain, france and portugal were that polluted. barnaby phillips reports. >> in a court, anticipation, a complex case, but a very simple question at the root of it for the judge to consider, who was to blame for one of europe's worst environmental disasters, the sinking of the prestige oil tanker. spanish maritime authority said the judge, nor the greek captain nor his crew, although the captain was convicted on a lesser charge of disobeying the spanish authorities. >> justice has moved very slowly in the prestige case, and it still doesn't feel complete. 11 years after the ship sunk, we're not much wiser, even after this trial as to who was ultimately responsible. >> they said shame, they wanted

politicians to answer for the disaster. >> i feel really, really sad, because today is a bad day for us, for all the country, and people. >> the prestige floundered for days in heavy seas. spain, portugal and france all tried to keep the sinking ship away from their coasts. when it went down, tens of thousands of tons of oil spilled into the sea and ended up on the shore. most cleanup was done by volunteers who came from all over spain. today, if you came to the coast for the first time, you might never know what had happened here. the birds are back, although not all species in the same numbers as before. the fisherman told us that their stocks have recovered. this is the town that felt the worst of the spill. i spoke to a man who led the rescue effort.

what advice can he give those who might be caught in similar disasters? >> what we learned here was firstly the importance of solidarity. many volunteers came here and helped us, and the other thing we learned is that when something like this happens, you to have react immediately. you cannot delay. >> maybe something else we've learned is that nature can heal, even when people make catastrophic mistakes. barney phillips, spain, aljazeera. >> form ago new pan european right alliance is a possibility. in the hague, they say the time is right to form a new block of like-minded parties across the e.u. the same of such an alliance is to capitalize on voter frustration with with mainstream politics ahead of elections. for months the two anti euro,

politicians have talked about joining forces. national front could win more votes than any other french party in the 2014 election. meanwhile, builder's freedom party, one of flunked in last years general election has bounced back to take the lead in dutch opinion polls. >> aljazeera is live for us right now in the hague. i know the two leaders held a press conference a short time ago. what did they say? >> well, the way that they summed up their mission a the that news conference was quite simply saying the leaders wanted to give our people back their freedom and sovereignty. that was how she put it. both the leaders spoke about the need to have sovereignty over the currency, sovereignty over the economy and above all,

control over the border so the individual european countries should be able to decide who comes in and who goes out. both leaders felt ordinary people across europe were increasingly frustrated and disillusioned with brussels, the centralized powers. penn said she didn't understand how leaders of mainstream parties could fight so hard to win election he is and not have the final say in policy says, but always have to defer to brussels. >> what could be the ramification of such a wide alliance being formed? >> it is quite a big if as to whether these different disparate parties could form an alliance together. that in itself is quite a question.

potentially, they could form a powerful new voice in europe. they would need to cross a certain threshold. they would needle to have a minimum number of elective members of the european parliament. they could form an alliance, a new block to have access to funding from the european funding level. they'd get office space, have important committees that would get time to speak in the european parliament and effectively be a trojan horse and with their mission of trying to destroy the european union from within. while the mainstream parties portray them at extremists, they feel threatened, because ordinary people across europe do seem to see the appeal of their message. >> thanks, jacki. i'll have more from europe later, but now, let's return to doha. >> still to come on the program, left out in the cold. hundred was native american

tribes weren't invited to a conference at the white house. >> the new generation, why the formula britain uses to count the so-called aging population is no longer relevant. >> in sport, miami's star player lebron james puts the heat back on track. action from the nba coming up later.

>> 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. >> welcome back to aljazeera. these are the main stories, philippines disaster agency says the death toll from typhoon haiyan is more than 2300 people. aid agencies warn of deteriorating health in the areas. troops have been deployed to restore law and order. hungry people are panicked over the shortage of food and water and taking supplies from shops. others have been digging up water pipes. >> egypt's ousted president

accuses those of kidnapping him. >> the coordination of humanitarian affairs in the philippines joins us, i understand you and valerie were traveling to tacloban today. tell us about the challenges you face. they are the same kinds of challenges all kinds of relief agencies are facing. >> indeed they are. we traveled with the head in the philippines here and the humanitarian coordinator to see what it was like on the ground. we traveled by plane down there. the difficulties are, a few of us were left behind, because one of the repeated cars had no fuel and there's no fuel available. i got to hang out at the and i

want for several hours while the rest of them made their way you into the town to see people, talk to people, see what was going on. i took myself around the airport and just started talking to people along the way, just stopping to see what had happened to them, how they were, were they ok. the first person i met with, a mother with her first baby, beautiful baby, one-month-old, the baby's name is isabel and the mother was desperate to get out, because isabel had diarrhea and she was terribly worried about her. the one thing that really truck me about this typhoon was that it was classless. it didn't choose class. everybody was affected. i also met a woman who was a lecturer in the university. her home was totally gone. >> this is the scene, isn't it, homes gone, people aren't able

to get ahold of food and water. we're hearing medical supplies are running out and so many bodies that the health risks are huge. >> yeah, valerie saw a couple of dead bodies on the street. she saw body bags, but there were one or two that weren't there and the smell and rising fears of disease from this, indeed, and they are big concerns, but people quite angry about it, you know, where is the help, why want it coming in? valerie was very, very concerned about how we could help, so she canceled the trip that she's had planned for quite a while to go to bangkok tomorrow and she's staying the night, and we arrived back very late, and she's staying to just see that this just gets moving, gets to

where it is needed. >> she was saying that the aid distribution has to move faster, more aid has to come in and really, it's just got to get out to the people who need it most. >> absolutely. these people are left with nothing. two and a half metric tons of aid arrived. you saw crews beginning to come in. not thank you very much, not nearly enough activity there, but at least it's a start, you know, at least it is the start out, and, you know, having valley amos around this signifies what a huge crisis this is. >> one of the side effects is as people become more desperate, there are incidents where security is an issue, because these people have nothing and they're trying to get their

hands on food and water and there are apparently armed groups in the area, as well. did you see or hear of anything about this, is security an issue for relief workers? >> i have heard that the red cross convoy was held up, and that they were trying to get things off. it's a bit of a vicious circle. you know, looting has certainly gone on, one of the reasons why there is no fuel is that the fuel was looted, so there's no generators, no fuel, no lighting. i was there for the whole day. about 5:00, my telephone all of a sudden kicked into life and started working again. it's just a very difficult situation, but the airport is also open to commercial flights now, so these are coming in and out. a lot of people in wheelchairs. i poke to a very old man -- well he wasn't very old, in his late 60's, and he was coming up to

his son. he looked washed out, he just looked worn. he said to me, i'm just trying to may go it up to my son in manila. i just want to stay with my son. >> there's a lot of people desperately trying to get out of tacloban, i think. thank you very much indeed for speaking with us and sharing your experiences. >> thank you. >> typhoon haiyan is the biggest storm ever recorded. could its officerty be the result of climate change? our meteorologist explains. >> storms like haiyan receive energy from the ocean. the latest data confirms that the earth's oceans are warming. this chart shows the different estimates are how the sea surface temperatures have increased since the 1950's. the surface is a part of the ocean that absorbs the heat as the earth regardless. it's also what powers these huge storms. this means that as the earth heats up, storms could become

more powerful with heavier rain and stronger winds. i look back at previous storms, still appear to support this. here's a list of the most powerful storms to make landfall on record. mayan is at the top. of these 12, five occurred just in the last eight years. now, as scientists, we can't definitely sig say that haiyan s made worse by climate change, more studied would be needed to say that. a warming world could make storms more powerful than haiyan possible. >> she says climate change does affect the storms but scientists haven't been able to model it. >> climate change will definitely have an impact of the frequency and magnitude of these kinds of storms, but for every given storm, we can't answer the question, well we haven't done that yet for haiyan, we have to

carefully model the event. because it is a difficult thing to model, it hasn't been done. it has not been done because it is impossible to do or a stupid question, it is a valid question, and might well be that we as scientists should put all our efforts in trying to answer these kind of questions. >> syrian government forces are advancing on rebels in the northern city. in response, opposition fighters have reinforcements to be sent to the front lines. >> the battle for elepo, reinforcements have been dispatched. this video posted appears to show the first batch sent to fend off new advances by the syrian army. over the past few days, government forces believed to be backed by fighters of the regime including hezbollah have been pushing in.

the northwestern city was once an important commercial hub and syria's most populace. it's valuable for the opposition fighters who have been using the north as a control base along their industry routes from turkey. with large districts under rebel control coming under risk of government attack, fighters including those linked to al-qaeda have called for support you to the front lines. it was in july of last year that the rebels made their first push into aleppo. managing to control the center. the airport has remained under government control. in recent days, the army seems to have secured most of the area around it. the army has recaptured a number of towns since the beginning of the month, including those that would open the road toward besieged bases and power plant. >> if it would take aleppo,

doesn't mean that the battle is finished or the game over, but it means that the syrian regime would have a big, big credit if the syrian regime would go to geneva to go towards credits, not with debts, go with conditions of the successful, not with failure fighting has killed many on both sides in the last few days. it's a turning point for the rebels who at one point earlier this year cut off all government industry routes to aleppo. the fighting appears to be costing them dearly, sapping much needed energy in the battle for ale approximate. po. >> the speed with which the u.k.'s population is aging is described as a ticking time

bomb. it is said that that is overstated. back to you. >> the british medical journal report challenged the nation that the state won't be able to support the elderly and over 65 shouldn't automatically be seen at dependent. we have more details. >> she considers herself part of the furniture at the pensioners project. >> they said to me will you retire and come and help. i said right. i retired on the 31 of march and i came here that week. >> 15 years later, the 78-year-old hasn't looked back. >> i like helping people. another thick, if i was at home, i'd be bored stiff. >> she and her friends are part of what's called the new generation of pensioners. according to the office, the new report, proving there's nothing to fear from an aging

population. >> people are saying because of population aging, the welfare state in the future isn't going be able to afford the kind of things it does today are mistaken. >> the court argues the formula used to calculate the so-called aging population is no longer relevant. it says people over the age of 65 are fitter and healthier than ever and still very much contributing to society. >> right now, abling population is calculated by taking the number of people over 65 and dividing that by the number of people aged between 16 and 64, but the reports also sees that formula as too as i am appliesistic. >> they take a fairly arbitrary cut off point and just say everybody who's 65 or older is old. it doesn't make sense of a fixed age cut off. you're better to say let's count everybody who has got to certain amount of time left to love. >> jonathan is with adjustments, saying the system will do fine.

not everyone agrees. a commit key setting up found the government is alarmingly ill prepared. >> the current health and social care system is very poor at managing these, because it's designed to deal with acute conditions, rather than more chronic conditions. it's going to need to change radically. >> the ticking time bomb according to some, but not one being heard in this pensioners club. the over 65 are there to help. aljazeera, london. >> now, work by the famous british artist francis bacon has set a new record price for an art auction. the three studies of freud have sold. >> wonderful thing with, here it

is. >> nice work, if you can get it. it took just six minutes for this piece by francis bacon to fetch $142.4 million in new york, the biggest price ever paid at auction. three studies was painted in 1969, a study of one legendary painter by another. >> the bacon record at $142 million is a record that will not be broken for many, many years. a very special picture, incredibly rare crypt ike of freud. >> the previous record was set by the screen, selling for $120 million at auction. tuesday's auction broke the record for a work by a living artist. the sculpture called balloon dog orange by american artist jeff coons went for $58 million. most accept that bacon really was an innovator.

>> he has moved the brand into the late 21st century by cutting the head in half and showing it move across the panel and showing us the feet moving, as well, and the hands fidgeting. in each individual panel, you see that movement. >> they painted each other several tiles. their friendship ended well before bacon died in 1992, but fame is furthered by this record sale. >> that is the latest from here in europe. >> we've got all sport here on the news hour. a dunk goes bad. all the details on that, next.

>> welcome back. there are 566 federally recognized native american tribes taking part in the white house tribal nations conference, but there are also around 250 tribal nations that aren't recognized by the u.s. government, from virginia, the tribes that first made contact with american colonizers. >> it's very difficult to determine the exact numbers. >> the chief ken adams has disbelief that as far as the federal government is concerned, his tribe doesn't exist. >> the first people who met the

british and first colonists, it's ironic, the people that came here and were supported by the people to help the colony along initially are not recognized by the federal government. that's where the federal government actually began! >> in the 17th century, the british acknowledged the native american presence along the river in maps and treaties, but chief adams hasn't been invited to the white house tribal nations conference, just 130 kilometers north at the white house. >> it's a matter of historical record that the ancestors inhabited this land between the creek and river for centuries, and up to this point, it's proven be impossible for the tribe to achieve federal recognition. >> the historical connection to the land and its sovereign status is not simply a matter of

receiving the financial assistance and protections that follow. it's also a matter of principle. the last tribe to achieve federal recognition was in 2010 after decades of litigation. >> it's humiliating, it's degrading. it tears you apart. we predated even the records here in this country. >> much of the ancestorial land is no longer owned by the tribe. some 600 members are scattered throughout the state and country. for chief adams, federal recognition is a way of holding on to the past and future. >> people have a tendency to sort of drift away from the tribal focus and drift into other areas of life. i think federal recognition would bring back a stronger sense of cohesion. >> they were amongst the first of the tribes to be devastated by the blood shed and disease

out. >> if they don't getting to the finals, i am canceling my trip to brazil. we are a group of eight, planning to spend about $6,000 each. >> that could spell financial truly. 50,000 out of 650,000 people expected to flock to brazil for the games are mexicans. losses could be as high as $600 million. >> in terms of the soccer economy, a financial catastrophe would ensue. it would affect the mexican league, lower sponsorship entries, brand prestige and advertising. >> it would have huge impact on the morale of mexicans throughout the country, especially on football fields where the younger generation dreams of becoming professional football players. >> 14-year-old carmen has played football for the last two years. like many here, she says she'll be very disappointed if mexico
