risen to 2,300. 2,000 police and soldiers have been put on the street to deal with the situation. eight people have been crushed after a stampede for rice at a store. and we have reports from tacloban, one of the worst-hit cities. >> reporter: there are so many casualties for tacloban the main hospital has no time to deal with the dead. patients are inside while doctors and nurses take a rare break in the fresh air. most have been working long hours, there is no electricity, and it's extremely hot. the storm destroyed it's main generator. >> the main floor was flooded so we have to bring patients on the second floor. but the proof is destroy, so when it rains it leaks.

so there is no place to keep patients dry and safe. >> reporter: one generator powers one light bal bulb in the surgery area. despite the many challenges, the hospital hasn't stopped taking patients. all things considered this small hospital is coping remarkably well, but the concern is that the health situation could get t worse. the cleanup is far from beginning. debris lines the streets, and in some places the only place for a wash is the water in the harbor which is more polluted than ever and to add to that the many bodies floating in the ocean. the search to find the missing are only just starting. the survivors are not getting basic needs to stay healthy like food and water. >> for the next week we're

it includes where a number of ships were washed ashore. large residential areas in the south of the city has been entirely wiped out, and the areas you see in blue have all been heavily damaged. these neighbors were totally flooded. well, the parts you can see in gray are heavily damaged but now uninhabitable because of the surrounding destruction of infrastructure. people who live in the city or lived in the city have been describing how desperate they are to leave. >> we have to get out of this place. >> we listed our names last night and up to now it has not been our turn to board the aircraft. i feel bad for my child because we don't even have any water. we just want some water, but we don't even have that. >> the mayor of tacloban city described of how impossible it is to deal with the scale of what has happened.

>> we'rwe are unable to help bee of this typhoon. all of our transportation has been destroyed. we have our priorities. we finished building the mass grave yesterday afternoon. and after the processing of the investigation of the scene, we'll be able to bury our dead. >> we'll go to where survivors credit faring a lit bit better. >> reporter: i'm in cebu, there is a remarkable story of survivor. people are gathering all together and basically celebrating that they're all still alive. the whole city of 51,000 people only one person died during the disaster of last friday. everyone was prepared, everyone evacuated on time and one person was unlucky to not make it alive. people are gathering here.

it's a celebration of togetherness, it's also their own connection to the outside world. there is no power in this area at all. they're all charging the mobile phones together here every night at the main square in this town. the mayor is providing all the service to his people, and also although their stomachs are still empty, they're not--they're not hungry, but they're still not having enough food, and the houses are broken, and many have no homes whatsoever. they are still so happy to be alive. >> there is one of the places that's been badly affected there. there is a great deal more on our website. the gallery of some of the most striking images of the philippines, and you can find them at www.aljazeera.com, and a great deal more. it's updated 24 hours a day, www.aljazeera.com. egypt's ousted president mohamed morsi is accusing the

army guard of kidnapping the day before they overthrew him in july. dominick can kane reports in cao 2347 mohamed morsi has tone to his country but because he is being held in prison he is telling his attorneys what he wants to know. >> let the people of egypt know that i since july 2nd, i repeat, since july 2nd, 2013, i am kidnapped against my own free will. and the republican guards headquarters. >> reporter: the lawyers spent two and a half hours with morsi in his cell. it was the first time they had seen him since his trial began. although mohammed morsi still maintains the court has no right to try him, he now face as

dilemma. does he accept court pointed lawyers, or does he appoint his own? and the law says morsi cannot represent himself. one leading egyptian legal expert says the trial judge has no alternative. >> i think they will ignore dr. morsi's actions and must continue with the case. the opinion of any suspect has no place in any trial. if we leave it to that then every suspect will refuse to choose a defense team and that would obstruct justice. >> he should have accepted to appointment a defense team. but he is still the legitimate president. we should accept the results of the balance box. but we cannot have people staging revolutions. >> i think he deserved t deserve tried and executed. he ruled the country and did nothing at all.

he said he would fix the country in three months but he did nothing. >> reporter: he thhe said those responsible for shedding egyptian blood is held accountable. and it is he who is on trial for inciting murder. >> the state department has designate two nigerian armed the groups as foreign terrorist organizations. they're both linked to al-qaeda, let's get more on this in washington, d.c. in practical terms what does this mean? >> well, it's not clear that there are any practical implications immediately because although the state department for bids any contact with people identified with baka haram freezes their assets as far as they're known.

there are ties to the united states of yet, the victims have not been designated of either group, but the white house counter terrorism adviser put out a statement in which she hoped that this measure would encourage the nigerian government to pursue current terrorism approach. that could be a signal that the americans would like to see a lot more action on the part of the nigerian government as has been the case with east african governments which have employed and enlisted help from the united states military to help track down insurgent groups. but in this statement itself they don't even know where funding sources are within the reach of u.s. authorities. >> tom, looking at boka haram it has been operating in a deadly fashion for a number of years

now. any idea why the u.s. has taken so long to do what it has done? >> well, one possibility is political. this announcement came just a couple of hours before the united states congress. the lower house foreign affairs committee is due to hold a hearing for the first time it documents accounts atrocities committed by boka haram including one christian man who was shot in the face and how he repeatedly refused to deny his faith in the face of this group which is an militant and extreme islamic group. it might be mentioned that one former american ambassador has sounded a note of caution here whether it's an advisable move at all for the united states government to make such a move at this time. john campbell said prior to this announcement that he thought that boka haram does not pose a

threat to the american moment land and further american interests in northern nigerian are few, an, and americans couln fact, become targets of boka haram. >> tom, we thank you very much, indeed. in washington, d.c. united nations has approved the sending in more troops into al-shabaab in somalia. out of 4,000, 400 have been oh authorized to bring the force up to 42 house. kenyen groups part of the union mission continue to the port. hundreds of people are missing after days of heavy floods in the area. governments have declared a state of emergency and is asking

>> we will fight for the practical things. it this is not practical. at the same time we're trying to convince the world to adopt a position on iran. >> reporter: the palestinian president reiterated last week that continued settlement growth made a mockery of negotiations, and illicitting an unusually strong agreement from the u.s. secretary of state. we consider now and have always considered the settlements to be illegitimate 37 the spokesman in the prime ministerster said that even the contentious e-1 development has only been suspended, i quote, for now. >> the negotiations, saying we

want an one state application. what would the prime minister say? we need to get serious, settlement or peace, he can't have both. >> significantly, too, there has been no criticism from netanyahu's coalition partners, including the recently reappointed foreign minister who himself lives in an illegal settlement. their silence signaling that the building of the settlement has only been paused not ended. >> coming up in the news hour the battle for aleppo. syrian government troops and syrian oppositional forces fighting for this strategic city. who is gaining ground if anybody. plus? the head of india's investigation agency makes a remark causing outrage across the country.

they think. but in both the netherlands and in france far right parties are gaining in popularity, and they look likely to do well in european elections. >> it's in the best interest to participate with all the best benefits, with more force and more power in european parliament and in europe. >> reporter: it's by no means certain that all these desperate far-right parties with their different nationalistic agenda would ever gray t agree to coopn an european level. the message of the far right, anti-immigration, and anti-brussels has a broad appeal. and the slow pace of economic recovery works in the favor of applications like these. al jazeera, the hague.

felt the worst of the spill. i spoke to the man who led the rescue effort. what advice would he give to those caught in similar disasters. >> what we learned here is firstly the importance of solidarity. many volunteers came to help us. the other thing we learned was when something like this happens you have to react immediately. you cannot delay. >> maybe something else we've learned is that nature can heal even when people make catastrophic mistakes. barnaby phillips, al jazeera, spain. >> three people have been arrested in moscow an after throwing fire crackers at the polish embassy. it's believed to be retaliation of the attack on the russian embassy in poland three days ago. the parliament has delayed the vote of a woman who wants to

attacks, fighters including those linked to al-qaeda have called for support to the front lines. it was in july of last year that they made their first push to aleppo controlling the eastern part of the district. the main rebel objectives has remained under government control, and in recent days the army seems to have secured most of the area around it. the army has captured a number of towns since the beginning of this month, including those that would open the road to government forces of the siege bases. >> taking aleppo does not mean that the battle is finished or the game is over. but it means that the regime will have big break, and if the syrian regime will go to geneva to go, and it would go with

conditions of the successful matt with the conditions of failure. >> intense fighting has killed many on both sides in the last few days. it's a turning point for the rebels at one point earlier this year managed to cut all routes to aleppo. opposition fighters have been battling each other over turf each month has cost them dearly sapping their energy in the battle for aleppo. >> forces have captured a suburb of damascus. they withdrew wednesday after being pounded by artillery and airstrikes. government forces have made strategic gains south of the capitol in recent weeks. still ahead, many filipinos living abroad are raising money for those affected by the typhoon in their home country.

philippines. let's hear from all the coordinator for humanitarian affairs, as she's been touring the disaster area. she described how lawlessness and knocked out infrastructure was affecting the relief effort. >> i have heard that the red cross convoy was held up, and that they were trying to get things--it's a bit of a vicious circle. one of the things there is no fuel there, is no generators, no fuel no, lighting. still, i was there to be the whole day, and at 5:00 my telephone kicked into life and started working again. it's just a very difficult situation. the air port is also open to venerable lights. and they spoke to--they spoke to

a very old man, well, he wasn't very old, but he was in his 60er60s, he just look worn. he said i just want to stay with my son. i just want to stay with my son. >> taking a look at photographs before and after the typhoon hit. this is the capitol tacloban. sheltering a family, no longer in the port. piers blown away like match stick. what was lur lush green, how fae water came, how fierce, and the most powerful storm to ever have made landfall. haiyan is the top five in the last few years. this is what many say climate

change at play in. surface layers are warming, and in the pacific its warming faster norman any time in the last 10,000 years. when storms like haiyan pass over these warm waters they pick up more of the energy, more moisture and more heat from the sea is sucked up making the storm stronger and winds stronger, too. this chart shows how temperatures have increased since the 1950s. this doesn't mean that there will be more storms. instead, stronger ones, heavier rain and stronger winds. the historical record for wind speeds in the philippines appear to support that. in 1951 winds up to 240 kilometers were recorded. and the record was then set at 275 kilometers per hour. and now typhoon haiyan has now

blown those records away at speeds of 370 kilometers an hour. >> the frequency and magnitude of these storms, it's a difficult thing to model. it hasn't been done because it's impossible to do. it might well be that we as scientists should put our efforts in trying to answer these kind of questions. >> reporter: super storms like haiyan are consistent with a warmer world. scientists say that storm intensity are increasing but they come short of blaming climate change. they say they need more data and they're working to get it. only then are they able to say for certain if a particular weather event is the result of climate change. >> let's bring in the secretary general of the world meteorological organization.

he's in geneva. do you think that it is only going to get worse? >> well, the climate change has many facets. one thing that is sure, it translates into a warmer world,, indeed, the ocean is getting warmer. which means there are more potential. the scientists at this stage are very careful not attribute a single storm to any particle. it's the result of complexion attraction as a result of many things. what we see according with the philippines is consistent with what we expect. in other words, we expect that there would be in the nurture more of the intense storms.

up thin that we feel very confident, the war warmer climae translate into the warmer ocean. the level of the ocean has been rising quite fast, faster and faster for two reasons. melting of continental ice and also because the ocean is warmer, the water tends to expand. and as a result it is higher by 25 centimeters than ten years ago. what is important for philippines, near philippines in the pacific around philippines the level of rise has been much faster. nearly three to four times faster than the global average. in other words, right now near philippine the level of the ocean is about 50-centimeter higher than it was 60 years ago. that's significant increase. >> i beg your pardon, how better

equipped are you now than 10, 15 years ago to predict that these kinds of terrible natural disasters are likely to occur? >> well, when it comes to tropical cyclones, hurricanes, the quality of the prediction, the early warnings has increased significantly, and what we have been through for the world meteorological organization been organizing all the regional network. for example, the philippines belong to a region why the riseries are provided by the agency shared with all the countries and national mid service of philippine is providing the warning for the philippines. and this warning, there's no doubt that the quality has increased to the point that it has to take preventive measures.

however, this has been quite exceptional even for philippines. it was said earlier in your programs that it was the strongest storm to hit the philippines in many, many years. this is why it has produced also so much devastation. but, indeed, we are in a better position than we were 50 years ago to provide warnings. >> well, some things you cannot cater for. many have been trying to trace their relatives in the areas affected by this terrible typhoon. many more are trying to raise funds for those who have lost everything from back home. we have reports from san francisco. >> reporter: the typhoons has

mobilized members of these filipino neighborhoods. they have donations dropping off, and some students showed up for food for the survivors of the typhoon. it's just one of the many places in the bay area responding to the disaster. >> we're collecting canned goods, clothes, blankets, everything. they lost everything. >> daily city south of san francisco has one of the largest filipino-american communities in the country. >> it's the big talk of the filipino-american community because it's the biggest one. it's bigger than katrina. >> i believe we have had typhoon through the year but this is the strongest ever. >> reporter: people have donated

food with good intentions but it will be costly to mail and it will take weeks to receive. financial donations are the best way to help now for experts to use funds with maximum impact. but it's for whatever people feel they can give. rudy kept the doors of his community center open until midnight. he's confident despite the tragedy everything will be okay. >> the will of the filipino people is such that they're very resilient. they can overcome a lot of catastrophe, and they'll overcome this, i'm pretty sure. >> so far away from the disaster filipino americans have certainly stepped up to the plate to reflect that very strength sending help and hope. melissa chan, al jazeera, san francisco.

>> apologizing for a controversial mark made about rape. he cause outrage across the country when he said this is in quotation marks, if you can't prevent rape you enjoy it, end quote. the gang rape of a woman on a bus in new delhi caused nationwide protests. >> i regret any harm caused. it was inned inadvertent. >> three irish women are taking a case to the united nations criticizing the eye lap's strict abortion laws as inhuman. let's go to the details of that. >> reporter: the women say they had to go abroad to terminate their pregnancies after being told that their babies had fatal

abnormalities. in 1992 the supreme court ruled that women had the right to determine nate their pregnancies. and two years later there was renewed pressure following the death of a woman. she was refused termination in an irish hospital. even though she was miscarrying. and in july the irish parliament passed the protection of life during pregnancy act allowing abortion but only where there is medical consensus the expect tent's mother life is at risk if she carries her pregnancy to full term. one of those women who is taking a case to the u.n. a little earlier i spoke to her about her story. >> it was a very much wanted and planned baby but we had a diagnoses that the baby would not survive outside of the womb.

they said you could continue with the pregnancy and we'll look after you, or you can travel. so we went to the u.k. to get the care we wanted. >> why do you feel you need to go to the united nations over this? >> we feel for the past 18 months we've been speaking to politicians here. we've asked for help. we've done numerous interviews. we've spoken to journalists radio, we've tried to keep the pressure on and nothing has changed. unfortunately this is happening to couples every week. they're getting this diagnos di, and if they feel they need to not continue with the pregnancy they have to travel to the u.k. >> what could the u.n. actually do? >> well, i mean, the u.n. they

could hold the government responsible for human rights abuse. but we will tell the irish government to do something about this before it gets to that stage. we've been told it could take two to four years for the u.n. could hear our case and come back with recommendations with ireland. we're hoping that ireland will be shamed into changing these laws. we're not asking for a radical change to the abortion laws, these are special cases. we just want women to be able to get the medical care they need in their own country. >> how many of those who say when you were in pregnant your life was not in danger, and as awful as an experience it would have been, but you simply should have allowed nature to take its course. >> well, if anyone wants to say

to me, you know, i got diagnosed at 12 weeks and what was i supposed to do for 28 weeks? continue with the pregnancy, are you excited about your baby, have you got the nursery ready? well, there is no point getting the nursery ready because there is not going to be a baby at the end of it. for me and my husband we made the right choice for us. we could not continue with the pregnancy. that would have caused me extreme mental torment. we fully respect couples who want to continue with the pregnancy, but they have that choice. we didn't have a choice here in ireland. we had to go abroad, and that is not acceptable. setting a new record price for an art auction. selling for more than $142 million. that involves more details 37. >> for the magnificent lucia

pride by francis bacon of 1969, wonderful thing, here it is. >> reporter: nice work if you can get it. it took just six minutes for this piece by francis bacon to fetch $142 million in new york, the biggest price ever paid at auction. three studies of freud was painted in 1969, a study of one british painter by another. >> the record of $142 million is a record that will not be broken for many years. a very special picture. >> the previous record was set by the scream by edward munch. it also broke a record by the work of a living artist. while critics are decided, most

accept that bacon really was an innovator. >> bacon has taken on cubism, and moved it into the late 20th century by cutting the head in half, and showing it moving across the panel. showing the feet moving as well, and the hands fidgeting, and in each individual panel you see that movement. >> reporter: francis bacon and lucien freud painted each other. their friendship ended before their deaths in 1992. >> that is the latest from europe. back here to doha and to david. >> felicity. we thank you very much, indeed. we have this coming up. left out in the cold. why hundreds of native american cries weren'native americantriba meeting at the white house. and why this could cost

>> there are 566 federally recognized native american tribes taking part of the conference, yet there are about 250 tribal nations that aren't recognized by the u.s. government. they include all the tribes of the state of america. >> meteorologist: it's very difficult to determine the exact numbers. >> reporter: the chief o doesn't

conceal his disbelief that as far as the federal government is concerned his tribe doesn't exist. >> the first people who met the british, and the first colonies were established right here in this area, they're not recognized by the federal government. it's ironic that the people that came here and actually were supported by the native people to help the econom the colony ag initially, those people are not recognized by the federal government. that's where the federal government actually began. >> reporter: in the 17th century the british acknowledged the tribe in maps and treaties, but chief adams has not been invited to the white house tribal nations conference just 130 kilometers north of here at the white house it's a matter of historical record that the an assessors inhabited this land between herring creek and the river for centuries, and yet up to this point it's proven impossible for the tribe to

achieve federal recognition. you it's not just a matter of receiving financial protections but it's principle. the chinicok is the last tribe o receive recognition. >> it's de grading and it tears you apart. we pre-date even the records here in this country. >> reporter: much of the ancestral land is no longer owned by the tribe. some 600 members are scattered throughout the state and the country. but chief adams federal recognition is a way to hold onto the past around the future. >> people have a tendency to sort of drift away from the tribal focus, and drift into other areas of life and i think

federal recognition would bring back a stronger sense of cohesion. >> reporter: among the first of the u.s. tribes to be devastated by the bloodshed and disease that accompanied the european settlers, yet still its members still stand no matter the opinion of the u.s. government. from king william county, virginia. >> time for sport. >> reporter: thank you so much. they will be stop at the latest football news in uruguay on the brink of a world cup 2014 place, ththe american champions thrashd jordan in the first leg of the match earlier. five goals, they were all getting on the score sheet. it was in stoppage time and the pick of the goal. take a look at this.

i don't know if we need to have another look. and in the next few hours mexico will continue for their push for a stop of the world cup this coming under the fourth in history not to make it to the fines, and costing the country millions. >> reporter: it's a matter of national pride whether mexico, one of the fiercest football-loving countries in latin america, qualifies for the world cup in 2014. if they lose to new zealand it will be the fourth time in history mexico doesn't make it to the finals for diehard fans, plans to travel to brazil to support his team it's nearly unthinkable mexico gets knocked out. >> getting to the finalist i'm canceling my trip to brazil. we are a group of identity guys

and we'll plan to spend $6,000 each. >> that could spell financial trouble. 50,000 out of 650,000 people expected to go brazil for the games are mexicans. losses could be as high as 6 of hundred million dollars. >> in terms of the soccer economy a financial catastrophe would ensue. it would have an affect on the mexican league, brand prestige. >> where the younger generation one day dreams of becoming football players. 14-year-old carmen man been hasn playing football for the last several years.
