>> hello, welcome to the news hour. these are our top global news stories. taking on al-qaeda, rebel forces drive them out to syria. in bangladesh on the eve of the election. we'll have the latest. and a half meter of snow faults on the state of massachusetts. >> reporter: with the headlines from europe including seeking a new life in precarious conditions. we have the latest in sicily

after a thousand migrants are rescued from overcrowded boats. and should this and gesture be classified as anti-semitic and banned? >> welcome to the program. rebel groups in syria are combined linked to al-qaeda. a confrontation that could change the course of the entire war. the fighting is taking place in aleep poe. the western backed syrian army taking on fighters on the islamic state of iraq. we're following the story from neighboring lebanon. >> reporter: protests are growing and they're becoming more widespread people in the

rebel-held syria want to lead their country. it is not just protests. armed rebel factions have turned their guns against this al-qaeda linked groups. there have been battles in parts of aleppo. in this video they captured a tunisiaen a commander of the group. a newly formed syrian rebel alliance went as far as declaring war on the islamic state. it demanded that isil fighters either join the ranks of other rebel groups or hand over their weapons and leave syria. they're accused of spilling the blood ever fighters and wrongly accusing them of heresy. >> islamic state in ruthlessness. we decided to fit them.

we won't stop until we're finished. they have helped us. >> reporter: they say they are receiving help from the islamic front. the front has not come out clearly to state its position but it's one of its commanders who was tortured and killed by "a" few days ago that sparked a wave of protest. >> i saw them execute him and that annoyed a lot of people and it became emblematic as they see the hijacking of their revolution by foreigners. >> reporter: at the start of the up rising foreign fighters were welcomed by the opposition. that changed when 1924 started imposing brutal tactics of tact. >> reporter: rebels have turned their guns on each other in recent months but this is the

most serious violence between syria's opposition and all quite. some activists are calling it a new revolution but it may be too early to compare to iraq's awakening movement which led to pushing out al-qaeda. hellrebel commanders say they'rt being called to wage this fight. the west has been talking about fighting terrorism in syria rather than focusing on the regime. >> fighters from the same al-qaeda-linked group the isil are also in iraq battling local police in the anbar province. a provincial official acknowledged that 15 people have been killed in violence since monday. we're joined now in studio, reporting extensively from iraq, let's begin with the iraqi prime

minister. he has been talking in the last hour. what has he been saying about the situation. >> reporter: he has been giving a speech on television. it was two-fold. it was reconcil reconciliatory. he has been accused of being prejudiced against sunnies, of a harassing and detaining sunni leaders and using a mara military force against sunni targets within baghdad itself. this teach was very much saying that the operation in fallujah was vital to the security of iraq. so he's on a real pr mission to make sure that this gets out. that this is not seen as a sectarian act. however, if you speak to the sunni groups they're saying that this is a sectarian act, and they feel that the iraqi army won't treat them fairly. that's why they're stopping the iraqi airplane from going into a

city like fallujah. that's why we're seeing a stalemate happen right now in anbar province. >> this discourse going on in iraq about this particular operation, are they trying to dislodge al-qaeda or start an up rising it's it depends on who you ask to interpret what is going on. >> absolutely. the way that the prime minister nouri al-maliki has said in the speech and in the past is saying they're going after groups who are causing disharmony in iraqi society. iraq is seeing its bloodiest year, he's under a lot of pressure. that's why he's coming out strong. he's cracking down on anti-government protests and trying to crackdown on al-qaeda linked fighters in

anbar. they need to bring those sunni fighters in line. >> that is the problem. >> every time they went to prime minister al maliki, they've been saying for years these groups with coming back.

he is in a position where he's going into the iraqi army trying to go in and sort the situation out, to try to get rid of these al-qaeda-linked fighters, but the sunni groups are saying too little, too late. >> thank you for joining us. now the man accused of master mining bombings in lebanon last november has died in custody. that's according to the lebanese news agency. he's reportedly died in hospital. his cause of death is not known. the saudi national was arrested on wednesday. 23 people died in the attack in beirut. the violence in bangladesh has intensified with only a day to go for elections. more than a hundred polling stations have been burned down. the political unrest has killed once of people. we have more. >> reporter: it is the eve of an

election much anticipated here in bangladesh for many turbulent months. 48 hours of national stoppage called by the opposition in protest against this election. an election they are not taking part in because of the government's own refusal to step aside in favor of a neutral authority to oversea a fair and credible vote. there continue to be reports of violence across the country has there has been for days and month. violence that each side blames on the other. and all the while there must be millions of voters in bangladesh wondering what on earth sunday's election will bring. thin campaign the prime minister appears undeterred in protesters threatening to boycott the elections. in her view they are the

troublemakers. with the leader under house arrest, it's hard to see this as a legitimate contest. much of the capitol is on security lockdown but under it protests continue. two hours north we found loyalists and activists representing the bangladesh national party marching in front of the court before disappearing behind the courthouse gates. they say here they're safe from arrest. and further into the countryside we arrive at the only seat in the area where a vote will take place on sunday. the opposition boycott means a majority will pass uncontested back in the hands of the government mps. we find one man who supports the process.

>> the opposition will participate. there are other parties taking part. so i don't think the election also affect it badly. >> reporter: and many more who do not. >> the government is just doing what it wants. so there isn't anything for us to do about it. >> i think the way the government is going about its work is really going to hurt the public, and it's hurt our businesses already, how can we support this government? >> reporter: this school will serve as the polling station only one of five seats in the region that will actually be contested on sunday. a free election, well, people will be free to turn up here and vote, but for who? well, in this seat three candidates are affiliated to the ruling party. a fair vote, perhaps not. the ruling party may be about to win an election, but it could be a questionable victory.

>> we definitely will not have people support. my fear is without people support and with questionable legitimacy, it is going to be impressive or not impressive. >> reporter: here and most corners of the country there is little enthusiasm and growing concern about sunday's vote. the government has been determined that this election go ahead on constitutional grounds, it says, and in spite of heavy international criticism calling it not credible from the start. it's pretty clear who will be in power after the election on sunday, but what will government have any friends here or abroad? will calm return to the streets? will the economy that has been so badly battered by the political turmoil be able to recover? these are some of the questions that will hang heavy over

bangladesh in the days and weeks to come. >> well, lots more ahead on the news hour including about a dozen people are dead after a building lapse in india. we'll have the latest. and it's a legal high that's hard to resist, but for some the popularity of designer drugs is proving to be a bitter pill to swallow in germany. and the world famous footballer, we'll have more with the rest of the sport. now hundreds of thousands of clothing workers have been holding mass rallies in cambodia. they want the government to increase their salaries. at least four people were killed on friday among demonstrators. we report from phnom penh.

>> reporter: this is where military police fired on protesters friday. again, out on the streets with ak-47 rifles clearing away people near a burning roadblock. telling them that there are thieves and looters not helping with their call for better wages. there is a job sewing together similar suits. she wants to leave the violence and go home to her village. but because of the strike she has not been paid and she cannot afford to travel. >> i have never heard gunshots before in my life. when it happened i was very frightened. my entire body was shaking. >> reporter: on the other side of the city opposition leaders sam ramsey worked to calm the city. >> there has been made an appeal for both sides, workers and armed forces to withdraw, to

stop using any form of violence so that we can find a peaceful solution. >> reporter: but a few hours later there was more violence, not a peaceful resolution. government forces cleared out to become the headquarters for the opposition protest. it is supposed to serve as a starting point for a huge protest planned for sunday. they came in fast and with force. capitol police sealed off the area around freedom park. thtaking down tents that protesters have been using the last two weeks. there were reports of beatings among protesters. it was unlike anything of the last two weeks of protesting. this raises concern of what they might do if the opposition goes ahead or if the workers attempt to take to the streets again near the factories.

>> the first couple of hours opposition activists said they would not protest to avoid confrontation with the army. u.s. secretary of state john kerry has been meeting with palestinian and israeli for the peace agreements. these were always going to be talks about talks, discussions that have been going on for months now. any word coming out? any progress? >> reporter: well, just a few minutes ago kerry said that the progress he noted progress but he said we're not there yet. by there meaning some kind of agreement on a final settlement within the nine-month framework that he and the two parties had arranged for themselves as a condition for resuming direct

negotiations, and that was five months ago. so he has been going over the last 48 hours between the israelis and the palestinians here. he has not submitted a former document for palestinians' approval, and it's not known to what extent these talks are talking about something in writing that both sides can exceed to or whether or not kerry is asking them to sign on a dotted line for so-called framework agreement. he's leaving for saudi arabia on sunday. we have no word when he will return to keep these talks going. >> as he continues we'll come back to you with developments. thank you, from jerusalem. the u.n. is sending reinforcements to south sudan, it includes logistics support and humanitarian aid.

at least 1,000 people have died. talks to solve the conflict have stalled. the european union said south sudan leaders are to blame. >> there is the responsibility for the situation we find ourselves in lies with the political leadership of south sudan, the leadership, the entire political leadership needs to find a resolution. there are no alibis, only they can find the solution that will help for the negotiators to find that solution. secondly, we need a cessation of hostilities. that must end now. people are suffering and dying. we cannot tolerate to have people suffering in that way while politicians haggle in a nice hotel. >> there are explanation of why those talks could have been

delayed. >> reporter: i think the vice president at the moment is looking for as much leverage as he can get. he needs as much military ground and as many troops from the government as he can possibly get, and it's very worrying to hear the reports of his troops moving towards juba although he has said he will stop short of juba because of negotiations that carry on. there are key stake holders in the region, uganda, who have monetary interests, economic interests, a large population who have been working in south sudan also closely between the president and uganda, and the current president of south sudan, but also equally so ethiopia and kenya, and the humanitarian aspect of the spill over of refugees, the hold up,

these are key things that could impact the region. >> well, a boatful of migrants rescued by the italian navy have docked in sicily. lauren? >> reporter: the group of 800 migrants was picked up on thursday off the coast of lampedusa. the area is a major gate away to europe from africa and the middle east searching for a better life. we have more in sicily. >> reporter: never before so many migrants rescued off the coast of italy were brought to shore at once. from tunisia, pakistan and iraq were taken here on saturday. they were found on thursday off the coast of lampedusa by the italian navy packed on ove overcrowded boats struggle to go stay afloat. earlier migrants were rescued in the same area bringing the total

of rescued migrants over a thousand. that's the most ever heard of whenned abouwhenned about weathr discourages migrants from taking the dangerous trip in the area. while this humanitarian mission is meant to prevent tragedies like the shipwreck last october in which 350 migrants lost their lives, they say their reassuring presence encourage migrants to take the trip even in winter. >> russian president vladimir putin has lifted a ban for the winter olympics in sochi next month. it came under pressure from the international olympic committee. russia was hit by two

suicide-bomb attacks which killed dozens of people. areas in the united kingdom are still at risk of flooding as high tide coincides with heavy rainfall and already soddened ground. warning people to stay away from coastal paths saying people's lives could be in danger. coastal regions have been particularly hard with the storm with homes and roads underwater. we go to southwest england, what is the situation there now? >> reporter: well, we'r if anywe is going to flood in this town it's going to be this part of town. it's now very much underwater. the situation in the u.k. has improved over the last 24 hours. there are still some roads that are impassable. the last estimate 220 homes that have been hit by flooding. but it's perhaps not as bad as

people were predicted it would be on friday morning or late thursday night. that is in part because the flood defenses that have been built over the last few years seem to have held up. we were in a place called upton on seven this morning, and their new flood defense system was built over the last couple of years. one guy told us he had been flooded six times in 14 years with water coming up here. but now he seems to be fine, very happy that flood system is in place protecting his town. we're expecting more bad weather in the coming days. >> you mentioned flood defenses. does it depend where you live and how it comes about. >> reporter: well, it is a long process and very expensive process to build blood defenses. the one that we saw cost $7 million. so each flood defense system costs a lot of money and that has become a political issue in

the last couple of days. the environment agency, which manages britain's flood defense systems is undergoing restructuring and a number of jobs will go, 1500 jobs, and we understand that jobs will go among the floods teams. so that is opening up the debate about how best to protect britain's areas which will be flooded. the government said they will not be effected by these cuts but a lot of people will see areas like this and become concerned about how those areas can be protected in the future. >> for more let's head back to doha. >> bad weather, too, in the united states. a huge storm has dropped 60-centimeters of snow on some parts of the east coast. at least 16 people have died as a result of the extreme weather. 4,000 flights have been delayed or canceled, in new york,

washington, d.c. and philadelphia mainly. the governments of new york and new jersey states have called a state of emergency to finance the clearing of major roadways. for more on this here is carmine malone. >> reporter: the dangers of freezing conditions is clear in new jersey where a bus skidded off the roads. people were warned to stay off the streets in major cities, but some had nowhere else to go. coles towns in massachusetts were flooded with icy cold waters from the sea while boston was hit with a half meter of snow and overnight lows of minutminus20 20 celsius, the lowest recorded was minus 30 in minnesota.

there were delays in getting to work on it friday for some people. >> i usually walk to work. it's a 15- to 20-minute walk but today it's slower. >> reporter: visiters to the capitol were surprised by the freezing conditions. >> washington here is very cold. it seems like the weather is in switzerland, but the wind is very cold here. >> reporter: some people are making the most of the snow and the fun it can bring, but the bitter cold will continue over the weekend. >> well, still to come on al jazeera, an originals and australia's mining companies. and cheerios saying so long to controversial ingredients, and

we have action from the brisbane international coming up.

>> welcome back. you're watching al jazeera. these are our top headlines. syrian rebel groups have turned on each other. islamic state of iraq has a. >> heavy snow in temperatures well below zero across the east coast of the united states. people have been warned to stay indoors. 16 people have been killed in the extreme conditions. more with violence in syria.

>> we've been talking all day with the developments in syria and the coalition of what seems to be a coalition of groups now wanting to fight. what seems to be the trigger for this event? >> reporter: there have been a number of instances in the past. however in this particular case it seems possible that there was a specific rebel leader, a doctor who apparently an isil group who was kidnapped who died in their custody. when they returned the body this is something that angered people in certain cities. however, i think we have seen the push backs in other situations as well. >> in terms of the groups that would be affiliated to this

larger scenario against al-qaeda, who do you think which groups are in particular, the ones you think would be part of this coalition? >> reporter: you know, it's very unclear which factions are joining in fighting against the group. i think the point they make is the battlefield in syria is a very confused one and it's often very difficult to know which factions are involved. there is a tendency for some of these groups, different battalions aligned in different fashions at different times. it's interesting to note that we have a pretty substantial firefighting between unknown number of factions and the isil. we've seen casualties. we've seen people take to the streets saying they want to be free of the groups in their cities. we've seen a consensus of people pushing back against the group. the exact make up of this

coalition is not exactly lear. >> in terms of how do you think this will play out in terms of the opposition coalition and their relationship now with the international community, thecommunity has been worried. the assad regime or the potential of an islamic state with this other group. >> reporter: i think you're 100% right. this is one of the reasons why they have become hesitant to become involved. it might end up prudent to support them. i don't know that this is going to be a positive sign, the fact that we're seeing a grassrootsry actiograssrootsto the group. while we're seeing the fighting here, were the assad regime come back and push back in force, it would not be surprising to see these same rebel factions team up again with some of the

al-qaeda affiliated factions to fight against the r regime. the battlefield is very fluid at the moment and it's unknown to know where the west would want to put its support. but expressing concern about putting support behind a group could have anti-western names. >> thank you. at least 17 people have been held an demonstrations turned violent in egypt. taking to the street in several cities on friday. they were demonstrating against the military-backed entering government and thebackdown on the muslim brotherhood. 58 people have been injured but activists claim the casualty number is much higher. three journalists have been held in custody for a week. ththey are accused of spreading

lies and joining a terrorist group. al jazeera said the allegations are aubrey kateed. two face further questioning on sunday. al jazeera demands the release of all of them. >> the attack in china killed one n.a.t.o. soldier. one attack and the other five were killed by afghan n.a.t.o. forces. a building under construction in the state of goa. rescuers are digging through the debris in search of survivors. we're joined now, it seems that such news of a collapse somewhere, what do we know about this one?

>> reporter: from what we know of this one, it was a building under construction at the time that part of it has collapsed. we believe army personnel has been called in to assist with the rescue that is ongoing keeping in mind that it's heading into later evening. it's just after 9:00, so it's a developing story at this time. >> the government had promised in 2013 to tighten up regulations on buildings and planning commissions in the wake of so many of these high profile collapses. what is being done? >> reporter: you know, that really is an interesting question. as these collapses, and we've seen several of them. several that al jazeera english has covered as well, particularly in cities in mumbai where the government has come out saying we will issue newer

regulations. it's not necessarily about issuing newer regulations but perhaps implementing the one that is have exist. that will be a key topic of discussion as this story continues as well and we'll keep you updated. >> thank you very much. now chinese ship that was sent to rescue 52 passengers the antarctica have been trapped in ice. the captain said that the ship is not in distress but is able to stay out of the dense-sea eyes. a helicopter has been deployed to transport the passengers that have been stranded since christmas eve to an australian boat. to australia, people in protest at a new cull of sharks. they announced plans to catch and kill any white tiger or bull shark more than three meters

long. now it's a hand gesture named after a fish dish, and it's causing a stink in europe. let's go to london to find out what's going on. >> reporter: yes, it's being called anti-is he ne anti-semit. the free speech campaigners sabaning it would be tantamount of a witch hunt. thank you for being with us. tell us more about this comedian and his gesture and why it's controversial. >> he is of african origin, his name means "given by god," who has been playing on the anti-semitism and jewish bashing in his shows, which are very popular among the extreme right and extreme left in france.

he is a comic in the sense that he never ever say something anti-systeanti-semitic. he would usually list the name of jewish names and the audience would understand. he would stop on his favorite lines, and the audience would just finish it so that the audience could be considered as racist. but what has created th was whee publicly attacked one of the most respected averager men of the french public radio because of his jewish name, and he said that the nazi gas chambers might not have worked as well as they should have. and this has.

>> he has been in the past fined for some of the remarks he has made. what action is going to be taken against him? i understand he has not paid some of those fines? >> well, the government is trying to strike him at the wallet. he has been fined for $65,000 euros. he has been ordered to pay 10,000 rue10,000 eur10,000 you . they're hitting him in the wallet, also to have his shows banned. which very difficult legally. >> there have been

demonstrations to get the shows banned. how likely will it be that they will succeed? >> well, it's a tricky thing. the previous governments have tried to silence him, but he says that his shows are only shows, and the government is trying to sue him by calling his show a political rally. of course when you have a political rally you can be sued or libel for being anti-semitism. >> for those who want to get high without getting arrested. many are choosing designer drugs. they don't even have to leave home to meet their dealer because they're shipped legally to their doors. as there are reports in berlin the increased popularity is causing concern in germany.

>> reporter: for people who want a rave all night a little chemical boost is hard to resist. one new drug a month is released on the global market. too fast for police to catch up. even dealers admit its getting out of hand. there are always new drugs emerging. people are very creative and it has taken on perverse dimensions of what people will take. it's getting increasingly unhealthy for mind and body. >> reporter: getting illegally high is as easy as going online to order from chemists in china or india, for example. they're very close to an illegal drug but just different enough to evade the law. this, for example s a dose of lsz with the same effects of lsd, but legal in most countries. they are furor, not cut with

caffeine or rat poison. >> and if someone takes a bag of that stuff into a bar it's a disaster. people will die. drugs have a stigma attached to them. people who deal they don't necessarily know the pharmaceutical profile. >> reporter: europe is trying to cut the ban of drugs from ten years to two months. but it's growing rapidly. in germany alone 120 new drugs have emerged in the last eight years and that some 400,000 people have taken them. >> finally for me we know how annoying it can be to miss a call. but for a group of spanish nuns that frustration has reached levels. the pope was calling people to wish them a new year. he said what are the nuns doing

to answer the phone? he sent them a blessing and hopes to speak to them next year. >> thank you very much. more ahead on the news hour including ♪ dream, dream, dream ♪ when i want you >> a sad goo goodbye to one-half the everily brothers. and the most important money stories of the day might effect

>> welcome back to al jazeera america. the mine industry has allowed australia to become one of the richest countries in the world. some indigenous groups say they're missing out on in millions of dollars in compensation. we report now from western australia. >> reporter: living in poverty, in one of the richest countries on earth. yet just down the road on land this aborinal community has rights over is fabulous wealth. >> they're exporting our country. for their own personal benefits. this company benefits, the investors benefit, the government benefits as well. but the people on the land don't benefit. it's demoralizing. >> reporter: under this sun-baked earth is a resource the world cannot get enough you have. this is what the whole operation

is about, iron other, the red rock that is key ingredients of steel. out here mine something digging up 60 million tons of iron ore a year worth $8 billion. even though the land is the governments, traditional owners whose ancestors have lived here for generations have rights and are entitled to compensation. leaders of the anoriginal group wants $40 million a year. they have offered $4 million. >> we have not conceded to going back to the payment of welfare or cash royalties which what the corporation were pushing for because we know that won't be for the benefit of the community. we don't want to see money that goes to a community controlled by very select few in that

community. >> reporter: deadlock associations are not getting in the way of the mining. they are allowed to continue even if compensation yet has to be agreed. it is providing training and job opportunities for indigittous people, that will make a long term sustainable difference than wea writing a check. >> doing this for my family as well as myself as well as my people. >> reporter: people are split. >> we had a community based on family. now i haven't spoken to my aunties, uncles, cousins in the last four years. sad. >> reporter: meanwhile on the mine trucks operate 24 hours a day with no direct compensation going yet to those whose ancestors have lived here for

centurcenturies before the crews arrived. >> now, one of the most popular cereal brands in the united states has given in to consumer pressure and removed genetically modified ingredients from its product. >> reporter: the self branded as america's favorite cereal, and cheerios is popular monday kids, soon it will be give another label, free of genetically modified organisms or gmos. general mills which makes cheerios has announced it's been making its best-selling cereal without gmos for the last several weeks. it will soon be available in american supermarkets. the company said it's a response

to consumer demand, but gmo critics point out it could be a financial move. >> when they put that non-gmo label on their package we're seeing a typical increase in sales 15% to 25% which is good news for any food market. the move against genetically modified food has been gathered around the world, online and in the streets. >> we are occupy monsanto. >> reporter: the main target has monsanto that makes genetically modified seed products for crops. it is widely used especially in processed food which include soybeans and corn. in the u.s. gmos are regulated by three agencies. but despite the campaign against

gmos not everyone is being scared off. >> from what i understand that it can be healthy for people. i know people think it's not natural but i don't share that opinion. >> reporter: gmo-free cheerios is a good start. consumers continue to have a greater say in what goes into the food they eat. >> well, it's time for sport. >> reporter: thank you very much. rafael nadal take, will take on monfils. to brisbane now federer wil, th7
