brahimi apologized regarding the meetings. >> dr. brahimi explained there had been arrest arguments over the agenda of the talks. he made a compromised proposal and he made it clear which side objected. >> unfortunately the government refused which raised the suspicion of the opposition that in fact, the government does not want a discussion at all. >> within minutes both sides came to brief the media even though everyone heard dr. brahimi say it was the syrian government that did not accept the agenda. the government had a different interpretation. why do you not accept his order of the discussion that he proposed.

>> the other side gave his own interpretation of the agenda by saying there is no need to finalize the first item. there is no need to fully finalize the first item. we will give it one day, one day for discussion, and then we'll move to the other item, which is the interim government. >> why don't you accept his proposal? he's the chairman? why don't you-- >> hold your horses. hold your horses. we said that we cannot move forward to item three and four without fulling discussion of this item. >> the opposition feels the government is stalling. >> as we speak here searching for a political solution the regime has chosen to bombard towns and cities, killing

civilians. >> it started with an international meeting of world leaders. since then there has been two sessions, 14 days of talks. also since then according to one monitoring group, 5,500 syrians have died. james bays, al jazeera at the united nations. >> governor of the syrian province of homs is pushing to have a careerfies in the city extended. it has allowed hundreds of people to leave unharm. as the cease-fire is about to expire many moore have been trapped there. >> reporter: this could be anywhere. but this is the city of homs desperately clinging to a from a apologize cease-fireacease-fire.

>> if they manage to leave they, too, will become displaced. many have made it into neighboring lebanon. there the residents are setting up new lives. from homs, a city more than 2,000 years old, to a new home, al jazeera. >> syria's neighbor lebanon has announced it's new government after 11 months of political limbo. after 11 months much bickering, they have a government. the prime minister said it was the best formula to allow lebanon to move forward. >> it is a comprehensive cabinet line up that for now represents

the best option for lebanon for the challenges that it faces for political, economic and security. >> the war in syria is having a deadly impact on lebanon. suicide-bombers in connection with hezbollah, groups fighting in syria for president bashar al-assad, and those are translated directly into politics here. the new government is made up of the hezbollah-led march pro movement and th they are suppors of the revolution. many say the agreement to governor together is a necessity for all parties involved. >> not only fo good for the country, it is good for everyone, too. >> stabilizing the security situation is something that

everyone agrees upon, and the hope is that this new government is a first step to bring things under control. the cabinet must decide on an agenda, and it has one month to present it to parliament. only after parliament approval can this government function and provide much-needed guidance in a country that many say is facing it's biggest crisis in years. >> thousands of protesters have returned to the streets to mark the third anniversary of the up rising. security forces fought demonstrators. the fighting became a day after a bomb blast killed an policeman and injured three others. the government managed to equal the 2011 protest with the happ p of saudi arabia, and since then they have been rallying against the ruling sunni family. we have the head of the

religious freedom years, and joins us now from the capitol. thank you very much for talking with us. talk us through what happened at protests today and the security response? >> well, what we have today was hundreds of thousands, some claim there were 300,000. others claim there were 250,000, but the majority claim there were at least 200,000 marchers who marked the anniversary much february 14, 2011, and that's when they ran out to the streets to call for the people elect the government rather than having an appointed government.

it was an indicator that people of bahrain would remain persistent to see the transformation happen, and it was very peaceful in its nature, and there was no violence associated whatsoever with the demonstration. there were some after the demonstration, but in general the demonstration was complete plcompletelypeaceful. >> we do see pictures of young people throwing stones and tear gas and in pockets it looked pretty violent. who is responsible for those. >> well, the view of violence amongst social leaders and civil society organizations, and amongst the democratic political movement. in general violence is denounc

denounced, unacceptable by all parties and by any faction. the democratic movement has signed a declaration of non-violence which clearly states that-- >> well, so sorry so interrupt you, colorly the government will be focusing on those incidents of violence, and it's focusing on the policeman that was killed in yesterday's pom attack. how did this upset the dialogue for those trying to take place between elements of the government and elements of the opposition? >> first of all i would like to reinforce that any form of violence is denounced and the political movements and even religious leaders most influence

shia religious leader who not only disagrees with violence, but it's very clear that violence is denounced socially by the baja rai bahrainians, the certain pockets that do not want to see a democratic peaceful protest, and if w it's very impt to lay the groundwork for success in dialogue. the government should take all steps to protect against human

rights violations, so it's very important for the government to free those prisoners of conscious, to stop human rights violations, and to put an immediate stop to the excitement of sectarian input. >> i'm afraid we have to stop there. thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you. >> now iraq's prime minister norial maliki has pledged $3 million in reinstruction. it's his first trip to anbar province. >> 92 prisoners have escaped from a jail in western libya.

a spokesman for the local council said four guards were watching over 200 detainees in the prison. the prisoners asked fo for for a doctor, and when they opened the gate they escaped. >> in struggling how to control this country, 92 prisoners escaped from a prison where 220 people were being watched bay mere four guards. some of those prisoners apparently asked for a doctor. when the gates were opened to allow those prisoners out, they escaped in mass. 92 of them were able to get out before the guards were able to fire on them, injuring two of them, and we're told something like two dozen of those prisoners have been recaptured. but this is the latest sign of insecurity here in libya where 54 prisoners escaped from the capitol just a month ago. at the same time the government

was announcing the latest of a series of coup plots. the government said it has negotiated with niger and succeeded in getting an official who is now being integrated. 30 government military officials are being sought. there was a youtube yesterday in which a former commander had sought the turn over of the government here. i spoke to the justice military and he said the obvious. when it comes to security there is a problem. >> a group of 20 people charged and accused of having links to a terrorist group. mohamed d fahmy and bededer

mohammed, and perimeter greste have been held for 49 days. and a journalist from our sister station has been held since july. he is now on a hunger strike against his detention. still ahead on al jazeera uncovering abuses on one of the world's most isolated countries. plus these people are all farmers so they're very much depending on their crops, and the ash is everywhere, and it is not very healthy. >> toxic ash from a volcanic eruption force thousands from their homes. and in sports russian hockey against usa.

>> turkey's parliament approved a law gives the government more control over how judges and prosecutors are appointed. the women is passed after an all-night session. the debate sparked a brawl that left two politicians injured. explaining what the new law will mean. >> will it brings two things. it increases the role of government in the appointment and promotion of judges and public prosecutors, and also their actions should be independently initiated are now to be reported to administrative shorts, which gives the government an opportunity to respond. so it is generally judged to be a blow to the separation of powers that has characterized the turkish constitution. i don't think the action will be met with favor. the opposition will be sure to take it to the constitutional

court, and recently also one might remember the turkish prime minister said to the european union with regards to democratic practices, this is about to generate a negative response among the opposition both domestically and it could put turkey in a difficult position. >> there have been riots in different parts of turkey. we have this from istanbul. >> reporter: more than just a rebel leader, he is an icon of the kurdish struggle. that's why many protest against the international conspiracy that led to his arrest in kenya in 1999.

a kurdish m.p. who was elected while she was in prison and said they should do more to achieve peace. >> they have nothing to do than to arrest democratic officials. we'll go back to the old days of war and conflict. >> in parts of southeast turkey protests turned violent. rocks were thrown and police responded with steel-coated rubber bullets. in istanbul this protest was peaceful and loud. >> the main demand of the protest is the release of abdulla ojianan. large year thethe government int

of reforms i but the pkk said it was not enough and stopped the withdrawal of its fighters overshadowing the whole peace process. she said both sides have no option but to reach a peace deal. >> the more important think is the peace because the main problem is lack of confidence between the two sides. >> turkey is going through a difficult time.

corruption scandals that is causing political turmoil and up rising with kurdish fighters. now the fate of the peace process lands with the ojinan and the turkish government. >> now italy could have a new prime minister within hours. let's get more on that story. >> thanks. it's increases likely that the 49 mayor of influence will become italy's youngest prime minister. they are now in talks about who will form a new government, and here's is the scene inside the presidential palace where a journalist watch the comings and goings of the various political leaders and asking questions as they come out.

what have people been saying about the potential of renzi as prime minister? >> well, they haven't heard much from the politician so far, it's been a very long day for the 38-year-old in the palace hyped me. i suppose it's been the longest day for the mayor of florence who is still waiting for the hour of his anointment of prime minister. as italy's youngest prime minister. in the last few minutes we've seen perhaps the biggest piece in the jungle of italian politics come and go, and that is silvio berlusconi, and he is still very much a force in italian politics. he said when he was leaving the palace behind me that he was going to stick to an agreement that he made with the mayor of florence, matteo renzi, and that is to push through reforms to

the political system here. so silvio berlusconi is still feeling very much a victim not of just politics but the judiciary of italy, but it looks like he'll stand by the young mayor of florence. as i say these talks have gone on well into the night. we may see the midnight oil being burned there, but i think now as most commentators have been saying as the night goes on that we will only hear the appointment happens some time tomorrow. let's wait and see. i'm not going to predict thing anything in italian politics. >> if matteo renzi does end up as italy's prime minister what does that mean for ploy? >> i wish i could say. but the people i've been speaking to, including that couple we saw outside in rome earlier in the day, they think the system here is rotten.

they've gotten so depressed about the economy, so depressed about i lack of jobs and opportunity here. they look in on rome, and all they see is a political circus where they keep changing the prime minister and nothing much happens to the economy. so i think most of all they're depressed. but if you speak to the most senior political correspondents who have been analys analyzing e scene, they'll say he's supported by big business, and you see that in the reaction by the markets. there has been no turmoil as we usual lay see. they think he'll perform a miracle, he'll lesson the taxes and increase the revenue of the government. can he perform that miracle? i have no idea. but he's trying to convince everybody that he can. >> thank you very much, indeed.

prison camps. artists are used to help illustrate the horrors they described. >> what was most painful is when they placed my hands in handcuffs behind my back at 60 centimeters. i could neither sit or stand, and that was torture. >> murders, rape, political oppression, in short crimes against humanity. the reports are due to be reported monday. if they are an accurate representation of the report, in it is it would not be particularly new. these allegations run back many years. however it does represent the most concerted effort yet by the international community to investigate north korea's human rights record and to hold them to account. target to the leak althoughs the

report calls for investigation of the north korean government. any hope of refer to the international criminal court looks farfetched with china, north korea's ally, holding the veto power at the u.n. during the investigation the chairman said it would cause accountability. >> not just general, but this is a hostile act because it's an act of the whole world community, a reaction which will be appropriately detailed to all the evidence we have gathered. >> north korea has reacted, calling the allegations of crime mention humanithumanagainst hum.

grow poppy. >> raising its total deployment to 2,000, the united nations union force of so thousand may be needed to control the situation. thousands of muslims try to escape fighting in the capitol of bangui have been forced to turn back. the director of viewpoint africa speaking via skype, he said divisions in the country run deep. >> you have a country that is split in two. you have a christian on one side, muslims on the other. we're not talking about normal people, but we're talking about a serious battle zone to keep the two sides apart. it's going to take money and more agency efforts, the u.n. the european union, the troops including the french who have

stepped up and are on the ground. ultimately the signs are not looking very healthy. the tit for tat violence does not seem to be stopping, the french have not been able to stop the violence. you have a new protesters main that has not shown the leadership required to stop the violence. >> the police in nigeria are accused of arresting muslim. hundreds of muslim men were arrested as they traveled to the south last month. the police deny the allegations. >> he was shocked when he was arrested and jailed by the police and accused of being a boko haram fighter. he was on his way home in southern nigeria from the north

they say they were acting on an intelligence report that the boko haram fighters were traveling down from the north. >> when you see such large number of buses, of people coming from that angle, it is the police who will find out what is happening. the large number of muslims came here peacefully, nobody to my knowledge have victimized anybody. >> but they say boko haram is not here and the arrests make people feel uncomfortable. >> it is not anything boko haram. we're muslim community here. we check everybody who come. when you come here we will check. >> but boko haram has threatened to launch attacks across nigeria and do want strict islamic laws enforced everywhere. they may be suspicious of people

traveling from the north, people here hope they're not victimized as a result. >> the area of indonesia is still under high alert after the volcano eruption. 100,000 people have been forced to leave their homes. many end up in temporary shelters. like this sports center. >> i'm here in the village, and it's not far from the mountain. these are the worst affected. this is the third time people here have felt an eruption, in 1990, 2007, and now last thursday night. and they said it sounded like a bomb exploded basically. what happened is stones like these fell on their roofs. it fell everywhere, and a thick

efficiency. >> we'll put in an extra effort to, changing information and discussing policies that will help both of us to be able to develop and lead on the standards that need to be announced next year for the global climate change agreement. >> while in beijing kerry toured an engine plant that is working to produce a more efficient engine. earlier today i spoke with gordon chang about cline. >> what we have is a policy working through policy in china. the number two guy in the regime was executed. he was china's guy in pyongyang, and so china has been demonized. we need to work with north korea directly so we can exercise our influence, and instead we're not doing that.

>> he was demonized. in what way? >> when they tried to justified his execution, which was unexpected they used his relations with china as one of his crimes. so you know, clearly right now china is on the outside in pyongyang, and therefore they don't have that influence that we hope that they would have. our policy has been predicated in beijing using whatever leverage it has, so this is not going to work for us. >> the obama administration has been trying to make this asia pivot. >> clearly we would like to spend more of our time thinking about the problems in asia because the problems are sliding to war. when you have war in asia there are nuclear powers and it do could be a big bust up. people talk about 1914 or 1939, this is a sign that the region is even more dangerous than the middle east. >> this brings something that

china's official news agency said on friday. they ran an editorial that says, quote, the united states has always have to know that beijing will not hesitate to take steps to secure key national security interests. have you seen any of these tensions ease up. >> it's not just japan. it's south korea, and you have an ark of friction from south korea and the north. there has been no easing. over the last two and three months it has gotten worse almost every single day. that's going to be a problem. that's why kerry is in beijing. that's why he's in the region. he's try to tap down these tensions but he's not having very much success from what we can tell. >> you mentioned success, but complicating that are the tensions between tokyo and seoul. let's take a live to what secretary kerry had to say. >> we urge both of them to work

together us to find a way forward to resolve these deeply felt historic differences that still have meaning today. >> now he looked pretty pained in that spot, to really try some diplomatic tone. but belying that, how frustrated is the u.s. having to deal with this? >> we're extremely frustrated. japan is our cornerstone allies but shinzo abe went to the shrine which has enshrined in it 13 class-a war criminals. that has enflamed south korea and countries the region are not happy. and we're not happy with some of the things that japanese officials are saying about world war ii. this is not helpful.

japan needs south korea, and south korea needs japan. and at some point they will understand that they need each other, but it might be too late to patch up relations. >> kerry is scheduled to make a stop at united arab emirates. nearly $3 million in bitcoins were stolen from silk road site and it's users. silk road acts as a middle man between buyers and sellers and does not use traditional currency. meanwhile, cyber crime is on the rise. look at what happened to the market. as jonathan betz shows us, one school in new york is trying to teach how to hack, but in a good way. >> reporter: every week students order pizza, play music and fire
