taken over police headquarters. >> this is the police station. usually for local officers now in the hands of pro russian activists. more than a dozen gunmen, many with professional grade weapons go in and out of the building. it's unclear how many more may be waiting inside. outside of the building hundreds gather. many here believe the interim government is illegitimate, not listening to the people's needs. >> our people want to live quietly, a peacefully without the junta. we don't want to be their slaves. we want to be with russia. >> this video shot from across the road shows them preparing to enter through a window. within hours they had fortified their positions.

>> we just saw a truck of reinforcements arrived. you could see they're pulling out large tires to reinforce their barricade. people are arriving bringing supplies, food, handing them over to those who are very much in control of this building. >> reporter: just moments after being told a mob of protesters turned on us, attempting to take our camera gear. riot police are reportedly being sent in, but they had still not arrived. kiev has unrest in the east spreading fast. >> kim join us live now. bring us up-to-date with what is happening now with the protests. we're also hearing reports of an armed attack on a police station in another town. >> reporter: that's right.

we are hearing comments from citizens in town. the interior minister has posted online that right now there is a shootout taking place. he said that the ukrainian forces will take control of that building from gunmen who had gone to police headquarters there, and they're engaged in some sort of stand off. we're hearing in another town about 30 kilometers from where we are now, that ukrainian official forces repelled gunmen who tried to take control of the buildings there. the interior said on the website at a these forces, these gunmen were repelled. and the gunmen appear to have russia-issued weapons. it's evidence that russian forces are operating here in eastern ukraine. >> kim, what more have officials been saying about how the police have or have not been responding to all this?

>> reporter: right now we understand that they should be meeting in kiev, that should now be under way. but the frontrunner in the presidential candidate, he has recently come out saying that the events that like over the buildings in eastern ukraine are illegal, calling them a violation to the institution. take a listen to this. >> it cannot be explained when armed people are conducted criminal armed assault at the police officerpolice station, ae officers did fought open fire. it's eye aggravation of the law and institution. >> it's very strong words from petro poroshenko. how will authorities react? we officially her from interim

prime minister arseniy yatsenyuk. >> thank you. five policemen and 20 protesters have been rioting in italy. >> reporter: yes, saturday marked the first national protest against italy's new prime minister. 39-year-old mateo renzi took the top job, and working out an european union plan of austerity. >> this was the heart of rome on saturday. one of the trendiest streets in the capitol became the scene of one of the most violent clashes seen in months. this was the biggest demonstration of the renzi government two months after he

became prime minister. it ended with urban warfare. >> it seems to be some kind of violence. i don't know if you can see that there is paper bond exploding next to police quarters. this is exactly what authorities thought would happen here right next to the labor ministry. they knew that this would happen, and it is happening right now. >> most of them protests against issues renzi inherited from previous governments. but many also posed renzi labor mark reform and made it easier for employers to hire, but also to fire employees. so far italians had been optimistic about tax cuts and

public sending reviews, but two months into the job he has faced the anger. >> let's go to claudio in rome. this is some of the most violent protests we've seen in italy in months. some of the problems that renzi has inherited. he's only been in the job two months. are people giving him time to tackle the serious issues facing the economy? >> well, most italians seem to be fairly optimistic about the renzi government because of what he has proposed until few to be popular with the electorate. he has proposed tax cuts, spending cuts and put money in the pockets of many italians. for instance, he has passed a reform that will give 1,000 eurs

who en earn per month. he inherited many problems and there are also people here as they said in that story that don't like the labor market reforms. they don't like the fact that while it's easier to hire employees, it's also easier to fire them. there are fast reforms for mateo renzi. and these violent clashes in rome will reveal to mateo renzi he is not popular are every single italian, and he has people who are against these reforms. >> things like this, the labor reform, making it easier to hire

and fire people, that's the sort of thing that some people argue that italy needs to have to make its economy more competitive, to maybe the labor market that much more flexible. how much more room to maneuver does mateo renzi have to produce growth and create jobs when he's subject to--he has to be careful about italy's debt and how much italy can spend because of e.u. rules, effectively. >> well, it looks like mateo renzi in a way has a free hand on reforms, including unpopular reforms including the labor mark because mateo renzi is the third consecutive prime minister who was not elected through elections but installed by the president of the republic because until now italy is being trailing in other countries in

europe in recovering the very heavy economy of this country. really, right now mateo renzi is enjoying the freedom of anything that he feels is right to get there back on track, including unpopular reforms like labor. >> claudio, in rome, thank you. long time allies of italy prime minister perlous cone any haberlusconi wasarrested in bei. that was ahead of a final verdict. they founded berlusconi's party in 1994. pushing the message that a yes vote is a vote for the entire country. we go to the national conference for historic referendum in

september. harry smith has this report 1234 there will be many more speeches before scotland decides it's future. this was the last chance for him to talk to his own party members for the campaign ahead. opinion polls suggest most scots want to stay in the united kingdom, but those who want to leave the union are closing the gap, which is why he told his followers they now had to take the argument to those who don't belong to their party but might still support independence. >> peoplmany people who never vd for a party will be voting yes. the referendum is not this first party, or this first minister or the wider yes campaign. it's about putting scotland's future in scotland's hands. and it's not a vote for the government in 2016. it's a vote for scotland that people in scotland choose the

policies that people of scotland support. >> reporter: he finished with an emotional and patriotic appeal. >> let us keep the eyes of the world on scotland. not to see how we're voting, but to watch in admiration of what we're building, building a new and better country. let's keep our talent, our commitment, all of our energies, let us build a nation that carries itself with pride and humility in equal measure. this is our chance to be a land of achievement. our country, our scotland, our independence.

sources saying they had been warned by th to give up the drug trade. they came in and more than 40 people according to the official confirmation, but some resources are saying the number could have been more, but we have confirmation of 40 people who had been taken away. we can say the contraband and other drugs were taken away by the militants. >> all right, thank you. now pakistani judge has thrown out charge of attempted

murder against a nine-month-old baby. accused of taking part of a riot last february. he had said to have throw stone at police. the boy's relatives still face charges. indian police say rebels have killed 14 people in two different bombings. the blasts have many of those killed are involved in voter safety or other voter polling tasks. >> iran has accused the united states of acting illegally. tehran said it will not change its choice of envoy and is looking at legal action it can take at the u.n. the u.s. accuses the envoy for

having taken part in kidnapping in 1979. he said that he was only an interpreter. they said that the u.s. does not have the right to refuse entry into the u.s. who is part of an u.n. member state. >> enabling the united nations to have headquarters in manhattan, so these grievances havagreementshave been running . the essence of it is that the u.s. cannot technically refuse entry into the u.s. territory of designated diplomats by member states of the united nations the

problem is as you're fully awa aware, the united states would be saying we are a sovereign nation. we are a sovereign country. if we say they are of proven criminalitierity, the problem is there is no leeway to that. the short answer is it's no it'e agreement that asimply allows iran to choose it's own ambassador. >> reporter: joining me live from washington, d.c. is raymond, professor of georgetown university. good to have you back on the program. president obama has been under intense pressure from the u.s.

congress not to grant this visa. let me can you where is washington doing this? what is the political dynamic behind this decision? >> well, number one, the united states has sovereign right to grant a visa or deny a visa on the grounds of terrorist activities. for instance, italy in 2007 provided police records to the treaty area in europe, which then decided to bar abutalabi of entering any part of the shangan area. he was a diplomat in 1989 to '92 in italy and he planned the assassination of a political dissident who effected in 1993. abu talabi, it was not a suspicion that he was involved

in this. this is based on police records in italy. so the denial of the visa is on top of the political assassination documentary record. >> we understand that the u.s. has never before denied an u.n. ambassador, and there is some concern in the wider diplomatic community about the precedence that this could set. the u.s. could refuse entry to any ambassador trying to get to the u.n.? >> the u.s. retains the right under any treaty under exceptional conditions. terrorist involvement is one of those exceptional cases. no treaty is absolute. i've worked at the house. i've worked at the pentagon, i've looked at the treaties very carefully, and i'm not an international law person but i am a political scientist who has policy experience at high levels

in the u.s. government and the u.s. retains that right as a sovereign nation. >> let me get a broader question to you. what about the impact of u.s.-iran relations? things have been improving of late. will this case then just eroad all of those diplomatic gains maim between iran and the united states? >> absolutely not. the iranian regime is in the negotiations in sienn in viennad geneva because economic trade sanctions kicked in, and these were crippling sanctions, especially the banks sanction, which drove iran, if you will, to the negotiating table. iran has big stakes involved in continuing the negotiations. in fact, the president of iran is under fire for having nominated abu talabi. why? because the stakes are so high.

the problems with the inplacing, and the economy going south will trump the idea of abutala bi being denied a visa. >> thank you. >> activists say ten people were killed when helicopters dropped barrel bombs north of aleppo. the syrian government has been dropping these becomes on rebel-held areas of the province. syrian warplanes have reportedly dropped explosive barrels, and opposition fighters say they have killed 50 soldiers. they have control of the checkpoint, the only supply route to the city of aleppo. children are enrolled in jordan state schools where they get free education, but there are tens of thousands of others who are barred from enrolling. we explain why.

>> all of the children in this informal class are syrian refugees. they're learning to read and write for the first time. they've fallen behind in school by three or more grades, and are no longer eligible for regular school because they've been displaced by the war in syria. mustache if mustapha has been ol for three years. he hopes this program will put him back in school even if it means being the oldest student in his class. >> reporter: being out of school has made me miss my peers, friends, and friend teachers wht me. >> reporter: now there are 25 centers across the country teaching mostly syrian refugees. the u.n.'s organization for children unicef said most syrian children sometimes drop out of

school because their families have other priorities. >> parents are not going to tell you directlier but in many cases it's about livelihood, so children are required to bring livelihood to the family. child labor is definitely an issue on the rise. >> that's why this year unicef is requesting for $30 million for education for children. children are out of school and need urgent infortunately education opportunities like the ones provided here. there are many reasons why they're not in school. some parents need their children to work to ease their financial burden. and some keep their children at home to protect them from a society where they don't feel integrated or safe. wela now lives in jordan's northern city. she has been out of school for two years and spends most of her time helping her mother around the house. ariam has never been to school

and should be in the first grade. her mother won't allow her daughters to walk to school. >> i'm afraid my daughters will get lost on the way to school or that a stranger will approach them and convince them to go with him. we've heard stories about girls being kidnapped near their schools. >> reporter: syrian children are among some of the hardest hit by their countries' war and many of those who have been forced to drop out of school not only lack a sense of purpose, but also feel hopeless. al jazeera. >> iraqi city of fallujah has been controlled by armed anti-government groups since the start of the year. the government said they will do whatever it necessary to force those groups out the city. but for those caught in the middle it's becoming increasingly dangerous. >> reporter: the government does not have control here. that belongs to fighters linked to al-qaeda as well as tribes

soon. >> reporter: for dr. mahmood, a specialist at the fallujah hospital. he said there is a shortage of staff and medical supplies. >> reporter: since the crisis in fallujah city, there is only one hospital this forces many to leave the hospital and escape the attacks. so facing a shortage, definitely a shortage staff and medical equipment because of sanctions, from the city, from the forces which make entrance from the hospital from the city difficult. >> al jazeera is demanding the immediate release of its journalists in prison in egypt. they appeared in court on thursday. the case has been adjourned until later in mop before

but authorities do not have enough force. not moral force, not organizational force. there is only one solution between the regions, between the center and the regions to define what local people are wanting. >> libya has detained hundreds of migrants trying to cross just this week alone. many of these migrants don't know when they'll be released. >> they want to know when or if they'll be set free. for now there doesn't appear to

be an answer. some say they've been detained for more than a year. this man has been held since 2012, and it's grim. >> i don't see any right in what you call respect for human beings here. for the vast majority of the people here that's more than 250 men. they're on lockdown most of the time. some of these men have not been outside for two to three weeks. >> i couldn't see sunlight, i couldn't exercise. >> there are ten men who have special permission to be outside and they help out. but the guards, who don't appear to be very attentive, say they don't have exercise sessions mainly because they don't have proper security.

>> reporter: isn't inhumane the way these people are treated. >> it's not for me to decide. i'm just a man doing the best i can under the circumstances. i'm not mistreating or hurting anyone. we do the best we can, but the state is not helping. >> reporter: the guards say conditions aren' aren't what thy should be because they're poorly staffed. many here don't know what will happen next. andrew simmons, al jazeera, libya. >> australia's prime minister is warning that signals believed to be from the missing malaysian plane are fading fast. we have more on the search of the jets. on friday abbott said he was confident that search crews heard signals, called pings from the plane. >> the signals from the black

enough. she says that they want justice. especially from a man whose mandate is to protect them. this report of recent progress filipino farmers are still the poorest in the country. according to the united nations they are even worse off compared to their asian counterparts. that's mainly because government land distribution targets are not being met. the supreme court has ordered the family of president aquino to redistribute its vast plantation to its farmers, ruling they have a right to rule their ancestor's land. but here they say justice is too slow, and they believe the struggle with the land owners still represent the darker side of president aquino's presidency. al jazeera, northern philippin philippines.
