countries and all international and reefnl regional groups put d to the terrorism. >> the message is clear. without critical support from syria the battle to defeat the islamic state group in iraq will be lost. the foreign minister warned any military strike on i.s. targets inside syria without accordance with damascus will be seen as an congregation. >> the syrian government is the one -- as an aggression. >> the syrian government, to fight and combat terrorism, any efforts have to be done with coordination with the syrian government and the international government has to be up to the responsibility of implementing the resolution of the security council.

>> reporter: officially, no one has asked the syrian government to start combating i.s. but coordination has already started with some of syria's old foes. so far neither the united states nor its allies have asked the syrian state to fight islamic state group. but behind closed doors many believe that syria is already coordinating with some of its old foes. rula amin, al jazeera. >> my name is peter theo curtis. i'm a journalist. >> the u.n. says it was not involved in his release but facilitated the release to u.s.

funeral took place, brown's death led to protests around the country against police brutality. andy gallagher joins us live from ferguson. the day of funeral and remembrance, what's th the mood like? >> michael brown's father called for a day of silence and it really has been a quiet day. a day of reflection, a day of looking back at a life of a teenager whose life was cut short. ultimately there is a sense of anger for many in the community. that anger reflected by the reverend al sharpton. who spoke earlier. >> about justice, this is about fairness, and america is going to have to come to terms with

there's something wrong that we have money to give military equipment, to police forces, but we don't have moing for training and -- money for training and money to train our children. >> today a day to remember michael brown but the anger is still tangible. what do people there hope is going to happen next? >> i think first and foremost, a quick investigation into darren wills, the officer who shot michael brown dead in the street behind me, they really want answers but at the moment agrand jury is being convened. we're not expecting anything from them until at least mid october. but apart from that people in this community really want change. the police force here only has three american officers and people here believe

electronically that a police force should reflect the community it's sworn to protect. the reverend al sharpton talking about america having enough money to heavily arm and equip its police forces but not educate its young people. this is a community that's not above blaming itself. there was a lot of talk from religious leaders saying black on black crime should stop, people should have respect for each other and should teach their children properly and get out and vote and change their own community. today has been a day of reflection and remembering a teenager whose life was cut short. >> andy gallagher thank you. still lots more to come on the al jazeera news hour including can russian farmers take advantage of a gap in the market caused by the ban in western food imports.

mozambique, two years of fighting and in sport, football's most controversial figures is on the move again, andy will be here with that story. story. french president many francois s hollande has ordered his prime minister to form a new government. several ministers criticized austerity measures. imposing its will on european union countries. let's get the latest from al jazeera's jonah hull. this is the second rearrangement in seven months.

how did this crisis come about? >> reporter: well, it's a crisis born as much as anything about france's slow pace of recovery emerging much lower than other key euro zone countries. the socialist policies of francois hollande, who was elected, in the view of many, who has delivered so little. economic outlook is bleak, growth is all but stagnant, they are expecting a half a percent of growth, mooferred hardly at all. unemployment continues to rise to nearly 11% and all the while, spending cuts austerity continues to try and keep the budget in line. essentially trying to keep germany happy. and so on sunday, a key member of the cabinet broke ranks. the economy minister denouncing the policies of austerity,

calling for change and saying on the eve of the 70th anniversary of the liberation of france that a free france should not be in thrall t to to the gen right. the president and his prime minister emanuel valle moved swiftly. >> this is government as it was. on monday, president many francois hollande accepted the cabinet's resignation. accepting the austerity programs that are not working. >> i'll remind you that the french economy has been at ostandstill for the past six months. zero growth. >> prime minister manuel valles will quickly form a new

government in an earth to restore being austerity but hard to establish confidence. >> that's six years later, after the beginning of the crisis, we are just a bit above the gdp, the level of economic activity that we had in 2008. so we failed. and these measures are assessed. >> broadly speaking, france is not happy with all of this. president hollande's own approval is at a staggering 17% and a survey suggests well over 80% don't believe that he or his socialist government have the answers for a flagging french economy. many believe the man elected on a platform of change has failed to deliver. >> we'll have to wait and see. i'm not sure that things will change right away. i'm not expecting miracles. >> translator: change is a word we hear all the time.

but we're only seeing a change going backwards. we've got to stay hopeful. hope that the new government will do something. >> what happenwhat happens next? well, france gets to keep president hollande until at least 2017 and hollande has instructed that the cabinet should stay directed, in other words, no change. so instead of acting and moving on tuesday in the hope of forming a new cabinet minus those dissenters, the president and his prime minister will be hoping to get back to business as usual. towards what many people feel is a deeply uncertain economic end but possibly an uncertain political end as well. and that's because what is also going on here is a split, a very significant split, in the left

of french politics. the economy minister arnauld montbourg, french president hollande stands to lose much plairp along witpopularity alon. but that makes enacting any sort of vorms i reforms extremely di. >> jonah, thank you. convoy of russian tanks and armored vehicles crossed the border in the country's southeast. reporters were told that ten tanks, two armored vehicles and two military cargo trucks entered ukraine earl monday morning. ukrainian forces fought with the convoy and called for military backup. they managed to block part of the convoy from making it across

the border. russia denies any knowledge. >> the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov, are denies all, ukrainians call it an invasion, heavy fighting between the ukrainian army and pro-russian separatists flared up again. hopefully working in any way to help ukrainians agree among themselves. peter sharp has more. from kiev. >> armored column moving into southeastern ukraine from russia. two tanks and two armored personnel carriers carrying infantry. he claims this is an effort by russia to open up a second front better to help the russian

separatists, helping the besieged area of donetsk, area closer to russia. at the same time, sergey lavrov, russia's foreign minister really muddied the waters ahead of these vital talks between putin and president poroshenko in minsk on tuesday. he announce thread would be another convoy, so-called humanitarian relief convoy that would be leaving russia to go into ukraine in the next couple of days. that caused a great deal of consternation. to talk about this being unhelpful timing would be a gross understatements. >> italian navy and coast guard have rescued as many as 4,000 migrants in the past 48 hours. they were found in waters off sicily and calabria, sonia

gallego reports. a sample of 4,000 people who had been rescued by the italian navy over the weekend. some didn't make it alive. the bodies of 43 people were found by rescuers, a shipwreck that sank off the libyan coast on friday. at least 5,000 have died trying to cross the mediterranean sea since january. 100,000 migrants arrived in italy off the radar. almost always from libya where a breakdown of law and order has been exploited by human traffickers. and so many who have made the journey have fled war and destitution in if middle east, and as far away as asia. what they face could be just as dangerous. >> the statistics is shocking,

these sort of dangerous migrations have been happening for months and months, into the years now and the number of people dying on them have also been mounting through that time. so we are seeing a mounting humanitarian catastrophe. >> and the history doesn't end there, search and rescue mission to locate migrants would end this autumn, unable to continue, prime minister renzi says the onus is on the european union to do its dood. while it aids and coordinates rescue operation is it also cannot deal with the ever-increasing number of migrants. the cost of desperate human rights amounting to so little in these seas. sonia gallego, al jazeera. . >> joining us, thank you so much for joining us here on al jazeera. now unfortunately these sorts of

incidents have become all too common over the past the two years. this was however the deadliest weekend of the year. tell us what your organization has discovered further about the details of this particular case? >> this is one of the deadliest weekends of the year. as you said about 230 people died in the mediterranean, 200 went missing in the shipwreck of the libyan coast. the other 30 died or went missing off the italian coast while trying to reach europe. 18 bodies were recovered in the rubber dinghy and are rescued by the italian navy and we also met 73 survivors of this tragedy and they told us the migrants, the people were beaten by the traffickers at the moment of departure. when the rubber dinghy had problems trying to take on water and the engine had fuel leak

they were so injured they were bleeding they didn't have any strength to save themselves like the others. the others left the boat and tried to swim to save their lives but those people didn't have the strength to leave the boat and at the end they died probably suffocated by the fumes of the engine. this is not the first time that we hear that the traffickers beat the migrants who doesn't want to go on bard because they realize they are going to use unworthy and your honor safe vessels. this is a tragedy because we are actually witnessing severe human rights violations in libya perpetrated by traffickers of those migrants who are trying to reach europe in order to get protection. >> considering how unstable the situation in libya continues to be, not just libya but syria and iraq this is a problem that will continue. the italian government has said that it will stop its search and

rescue operation come october. what do you see or what do you think should happen to replace it? >> well, actually, the top priority is still to save lives. so mari nostrum carried out an exceptional work in these months and it cannot of course be stopped while all of a sudden bass it would mean that many people would die at sea. too many people are arriving but not in terms of excessive migrants reaching europe. too many people risking their life at sea. without marinostrum we would see many more deaths in the mediterranean. stopping marinostrum would see more tragedies. the european union states would

support marinostrum but it is hard to say it should be stopped. >> sir thank you very much for your time. in scotland, anticipation is growing ahead of one of the most important events in the brief referendum campaign. pro-independence first minister alex s-almon is to face al stair darling. money and awareness for a neurodegenerative disease, called als. the ice bucket challenge. salmon has challenged the british prime minister david cameron to take part. will he do it? spoke to us about the debate. >> the battle of the no campaign i spoke to believe that alex

salmon's fall tersalmon's fault, written up by commentators and analysts. at the same time, the tv debates are not the best way of pitching to undecided voters. all they saw were two men in suits shouting at each other and they came away none the wiser for issues and the policies that you consider important. >> well, lots more still to come on the news hour including squeezed and ignored. protestors in macao. and who's in and who's out? the final tennis grand slam of the year. the year.

at least 41 people have been killed in a spate of bombings in iraq. targeted commercial areas in and around baghdad. car bomb attacks in the city of carkarbala. michael brown unarmed teenage are shot dead by police, a funeral service was conducted. >> u.n. and uae have launched air tax in the libyan capitol . expwhrs joins us live now from washington, d.c. sir, thank you so much for joining us. so the u.s. officials confirming these strikes. what would be the significance of the uae and egypt striking against the libyan capitol? >> well, first, the significance is that we're seeing two

countries that are not normally aligned working together against the common threat. >> and that common threat being what specifically? in their eyes? >> there's a tremendous concern throughout the region at the rise of the militant islamists, we're seeing that throughout the region. we're seeing that in libya, in iraq, in syria and the united states has advocated for quite some time that this simply can't be a united states problem or a western power problem but that the local governments who are most threatened by these types of activities should be involved as well. >> it's interesting looking at the two countries. i mean one would understand egypt, obviously a neighbor in the region. but the uae, what do you think puts these two countries together apart from what you say, the common enemy. anything else? >> well, the united arab

emirates has the most capable militaries in the region and like the united states they want to be fighting terrorism from afar, not from within their own borders. there is a natural alliance between egypt and the united arab emirates and i think they recognize that it's within their interest to be fighting terrorists, rather than inside abu dhabi or de dubai. >> everything that's untotalling in libya right now. >> well, they're concerned about al qaeda on two fronts and radical militant islamists on two fronts. obviously they have a problem in the sinai, that's a long standing problem and now that they are seeing their borders, no respect for those borders by

the insurgents inside libya, they are taking a very strong look at i.s.i.s. going over the borders with syria and iraq and i suspect that the egyptian military in particular wants to make certain that doesn't happen there. >> mark kimmet thank you for your time, sir. >> sure. >> now israel says it carried out 16 air raids on gaza overnight into monday morning. nine people were killed. along its border with egypt, israel attacked the rafah crossing. reporting now from rafah. >> reporter: this is one of the only ways in and out of the gaza strip. for the first time in more than six weeks of conflict, the impact of the three missile strikes which hit just outside the passenger's terminal was so powerful it caused a partial

roof collapse. despite the attack, the crossing was left open allowing those with egyptian pass ports to leave. >> we know the israelis are accepting us a message, they want us to close this crossing but we will keep it open, even under fire. >> she says she's angry that after so many weeks the fighting still hasn't stopped. >> translator: we are mufs lims and we are taught -- muslims and we are taught to be patient but we will be victorious over our enemies. >> reporter: since the collapse of last week's ceasefire talks more than 100 people have been killed in the latest round of fighting. in recent days egyptian mediators have proposed a new ceasefire that would see all of gaza's crossings open to led in aid and construction materials. but hamas says, eight year blockade to the coastal strip

and sea port. >> seems the me we are back to maneuvering between the palestinians represented by hamas and israelis, everyone is trying to debrief the other side from any tangible results or any political victory which can be achieved at the end of this war. >> the damage caused by israeli shelling can be repaired. but what is less certain is if the lasting ceasefire agreement between israel, hamas and the very strong palestinian factions can be pieced together any time soon. al jazeera at the rafah border crossing, gaza. well since israel began its military assault on gaza july 8th, 65 israeli soldiers and three civilians have been killed. a thai national was also killed in israel. 2130 palestinians have been killed and that number includes 577 children.

army to be integrated there and that's supposed to insure that the army would not be as partisan in the future. economic issues about how ranamo will be supported both in terms of its earmt positions and as a general organization. >> 13 people have been killed by a new outbreak of the ebola virus in the democratic republic of congo. 90 cases have been confirmed in the northern he ca equateorial province. >> particularly making available protective equipment for all medical personnel. the active research for cases and following other people, these cases have come into contact with. making sure all burials are securely done. for those confirmed cases but also those unexplained deaths in

the communities. >> the leaders of sowndz government and rebel leaders group have signed obrand-new ceasefire deal. vowing to reach a seven month agreement. it forces salva kiir and riek machar to form agreements. are. >> reporter: there is a lot of pressure barbara, pressure from the international community, pressure from the regional block and the regional leaders here. they threatened sanctions if the two leaders and if the two sides do not meet a deadline of 45

days to form a transition government. certainly there's a lot of pressure and also a lot of skepticism about whether this is actually going to come to fruition. talks that have been going on back and forth for months, there are accusations back and forth, blame game has been going on as well, the regional mediators have been blamed as a stumbling block to successful talks. people are quite skeptical, yet again there is a hope. they're hoping that perhaps the pressure that is exerted is just as what is needed to stop this pressure. are authorities are hopeful that finally this is going to be the end, that these talks are going to come to an end and finally there is going to be peace in their country, barbara.

very clear, do not want to allow. >> can activists are going ahead with their campaign online but how much impact it will have is in doubt. in a city ever mindful of its giant neighbor upon which it relies for visitors, rob mcbryde, al jazeera, macao. >> there's still much more to come on the news hour. >> to be allowed to express my feelings my hopes and aspirations, so on, in the movies, in the sin pla, have gone with us. >> silver screen legend richard attenborough has died at the age of 90.

surroundings. >> suddenly, when people visit their land sometimes for first time it gives them a great sense of belonging and identity. and i think that really helps with their life in general. >> this expedition will last two weeks. it's hoped more art will be found but more important that those looking will find links to their past and a better future. andrew thomas, al jazeera, in australia's arnemland. >> sports and andy richard. >> thank you so much, barbara. liverpool have confirmed the $26 million signing of mario balatelli from ac mil ac milan. a game getting underway in a few
