♪ >> announcer: this is al jazeera. ♪ hello and welcome to the news hour, live from our news center in doha, these are the stories we will be covering in detail this hour. [chanting] demonstrators storm pakistan state television channel as protests against the prime minister intensify. the u.s. urges israel to reverse a plan to seize a large tract of palestinian land in the occupied west bank. plus more protests in hong kong against china's decision to

choose candidates who can withstand future elections. death on a sea voyage and arrest if they reach land but still they come, a special report on the migrants desperate to reach europe. ♪ first to pakistan where the prime minister is holding crisis talks with the powerful chief of the army to discuss deteriorating security situation in the capitol. three weeks of protests calling for resignation and are turning increasingly violent and we report from islamabad. >> reporter: for a moment the anti-government protesters control pakistan state t.v. channel, hundreds of them stormed the office of the national broadcast and cutoff transmission. the army and military rangered

had to clear demonstrators and resume transmission. the seizing of the news channel is the latest episode in an increasingly tense standoff. supporters of two opposition leaders are calling on prime minister sharif to step down and as their movement has grown stronger so have their demands. >> translator: no longer going to leave after getting a resignation and leave only after we have made a new pakistan, i'm going to have a revolution, we are not settling for resignation. >> reporter: the opposition accuses prime minister of corruption and electoral fraud. three weeks ago supporters ma h marched on islamabad to stage parliament but a direct confrontation now with the police. opposition leaders khan says pakistan political system needs to change. >> translator: we are saying to sharif he should now step down

because people will come out all over pakistan against him and there will be losses to the pakistan people and their property all because he has no moral ground to continue as prime minister. >> reporter: leaders urged khan and they descended into violence and crowds have broken through police lines and police responded with tear gas and rubber bullets, and the violence on the streets forced schools to remain closed. monday was supposed to mark the start of the academic year. so far in this crisis the military has intervened only when asked by the government. but in this country this seems history, ruled by generals and the question people are asking is whether the military will remain neutral or take sides. and i'm with al jazeera, islamabad. >> reporter: and we are in islamabad and joins us live and

so very chaotic scenes and tell us about the latest political developments. >> reporter: well, since he filed the report the situation has calmed down and people in the red zone area of islamabad where the presidency prime minister house and parliament is and an incident can spark it off again in a matter of moments. but within the last few hours what was alluded to in that report was that the army chief or sharif is meeting with the prime minister and the outcome of that meeting has y et -- yet to be announced and they will brief the prime minister on the army's decision after the core commanders met laid on sunday saying they would not get involved in the political impasse we are seeing on the streets of the capitol and that they would want to see the politicians try and resolve the problems out for themselves. saying that we have the chief

justice of pakistan who sent up legal representatives to the political parties, khan and prime minister to try and find a way they can all sit down together to talk at the moment, opposition parties and leaders say we will not talk to the prime minister and that was before the military said what they said on sunday evening. after the mix foley in the last hour or so the government has issued or registered a legal case against the political leaders khan and the statement is the government is registered a treason case against pti chief khan and other leaders for committing destruction in the red zone, interfering in state affairs and attacking state institutions. we have to stress nobody has been arrested and nobody has been charged. what has been larged is a first incident report. it's an investigation as to

whether these individuals could have been behind the destruction we have seen in the capitol. this investigation could take hours, days, weeks or months but it certainly doesn't bowed well because on one side you have political leaders saying we are trying to talk or we would like to talk and may want to talk and on the other not pressing charges and it's a fluid situation, one that is changing by the hour. >> the next few hours will be crucial so we will follow the latest developments in islamabad on al jazeera and thank you for joining us. israel has come under intense international criticism over what palestinians are calling the biggest land grab in 30 years, israel declared 400 hectors of land by bethlehem in the occupied west bank are now state owned but it's not a new settlement and it's a neighborhood of an existing one, last year the government invited the building of a thousand homes

on the site. >> translator: we were surprised in the early hours this morning when israeli civil administration and israeli military gave warnings and put signs in many areas. to the northern, south earn and western wage of the village declaring dunam and expansion of three settlements surrounding the village. >> we are in tel aviv from peace now and opposes settlements in the occupied west bank and thank you for joining us on al jazeera, and they say it's bad publicity for israel and how can they justify the land grab now and they think it's a punitive measure. >> they asked me to speak on behalf of the government. i think this is a huge mistake that netanyahu is doing and the message coming out of this

action for palestinian and israel and the message is when you come to speak about peace and finding a political solution, the outcome will be settlement activity and when you are hamas and firing missile over israel then israel is ready to speak. so i think it's a one message that the government is taking. the only excuse that netanyahu has is the kidnapping remainder of the three teenagers three months ago, this is a horrible incident and something that everyone should condom but it's not in sentiment and taking land under despite between israelis and palestinians. >> tell us about the area because apparently it's a plot that israel has been denying for sometime now and it's part of the settler system, what impact do you think the appropriation of this area will have on palestinian's access to the west bank? >> actually the land is very

close to the border between israel and palestine and it's of course on the other side of the border on the west bank and this is a place and under dispute. it's a very strategic area because for israelis it will connect some of the sentiment in south jerusalem and palestinian and land to allow them to expand and expand their village's and south to jerusalem. it's a very strategic place. the only way to make a decision about this place is through negotiation and if there is negotiation with palestinian authority and the palestinian authority will allow israel to annex some of this in the area and israel will swap territories and it will be okay but israel can be there only after reaching an agreement that this will be very clear what is israel now and what is palestine and what

israel is doing is taking this land and give it away to the settlers only, palestinian will have no access to what they called a state land. the only people that will be able to use and enjoy this very strategic part of the land will be israeli settlers. >> those who are farming on this land have basically 45 days to appeal and get the atlanta grab, the you think they can succeed and can they get support within the israeli public and you know with the international criticism perhaps make israel change its mind? >> i think some of them might succeed getting some of the land but most of it will be a legally will be given to the settlers. the issue here is not so much about legal procedure, it's more about politics and diplomacy and

the only way to stop them doing it is create pressure of leadership inside israel to stop this kind of action and to push forward negotiation between israel and the palestinian authority. we are as israeli we try to push the government from inside israel and try to oppose such an action that is very unilateral action that actually says to the palestinian and israelis not really to speak and not ready to promote a two-state solution, the opposite, israeli taking more on the west bank and making the reality almost impossible to do. so i think that the in this case maybe some palestinian will be able to get some of the land but most of the land the decision is a political one and not a legal one. it's a decision by the prime minister and the defense minister and actually the government itself and it's not something that the judge can change in a very dramatic way, so the pressure and the ability to change it should focus on

political and diplomatic effort. >> peace now joining us from tetel aviv. they called for continued civil disobedience until they immediate the demand and he defied a u.n. security council saying end hostilities against the government and tens of thousands masked on the outskirts of the capitol and they want more power. >> translator: the time has come for the third stage of this popular escalation which falls into the framework of civil disobedience. i direct my call to residents of the call top and the outskirts together on monday morning in the square and we will continue to the end of the week and if the corrupt continue dealing with an irresponsible way we will be forced to take further steps. >> reporter: with more we are

joined now live from sinar and tell us more about the demands here and we saw impressive images and lots of people on the streets there, what are their demands and what is the likelihood they will be met? >> reporter: well, he was extremely critical of the government of the international community of the u.n. and also neighboring countries saying his demands are legitimate demands and that he is committed to go ahead until the government goes. it's a very corrupt government and say it has to go. they want a government of tecnocrats to be fulled and backed by political factions in yemen and want the government to reinstate fewer subsidies. this new speech comes against the back drop of a meeting between the president and the negotiating committee yesterday where the leader of the negotiating committee said he is very aragant and trying to get power and offered to in a way

offering himself as a substitute to the president or political establishment and this is why he came out yesterday and said, no, it's completely wrong but to bless ahead with demands he asked his people to go to the square, a very symbolic move and that is the place where the 2011 prodemocracy movement started to show the international community and the government that he is determined to go ahead with his own demands. >> you wonder how long and how prepared that will do and what is next? what is their plan? >> reporter: well initially the government has only four days, four days to try to salvage a deal with them and if that fails then they will see other options. the president and members of the government say that they are in favor of a very swift military operation against fighters here in the capitol and also northern city and strongholds here and this is a country where the army

is divided along sectarian line and we don't think the military option is going to solve any problem in the near future. it's a delicate situation indeed for yemen. >> we are reporting live from sinal. still ahead on the news hour, ebola backlash and why guinea migrants are struggling to do business. plus. >> i'm in mumbai, the new government promised to build more than 5 million toilets in the first 100 days in office and i'm looking at whether it achieved that goal. coming up, in sport a new swiss star is making a name for herself at the u.s. open. we will have all the action later in sports. ♪ the islamic state group has been pushed out of another town in

u.s. has not been in before and murky given participation of shia malitia and iraq forces say they will push on and chase the islamic group fighters further on into dakrete, the next big staging ground and will the stronghold of islamic state and former sadam loyalist and firm group, will it be another battleground that involves shia malitia and if so it is more tricky and volitile. u.n. working to negotiate the release of 45 peace keepers held by syrian rebels in the golden heights and they were captured last week by opposition fighting group the master front. part of an international force along the defacto, israeli, syria border. heavy fighting between syria

something critics say is whoa fly inadequate. on the scale of syrian's humanitarian crisis is putting a strain on the nation and going to neighboring countries and the internally displaced stands at more than 6 million and security of those still in syria is a serious issue. immigration lawyers say that is why many of his clients need help now. >> most of the applicants here have part of their families in syria. it's life or death situation for them because the most this application is delayed they may lose their family. >> reporter: expecting to receive more cases in the following months and say they are committed to helping the people of syria and now all the family can do is wait. like many syrians their immediate fate remains unclear and i'm with al jazeera, new jersey. in eastern libya, an armed malitia group is reportedly moving to the air base in

have been by the state department earlier last year. those groups felt by coming together effective they could have a stronger response and the very same thing is happening today in tripoli with the development of the beginning of the council of tripoli as well. >> but these group you talk about are not allied and how do they coexistent what sort of relationship do they have with each other? >> you have two big groups, operation dawn and operation dignity and both come to war on terror two big malitias in the operation and operation dignity has effectively libya has hundreds of malitia that do not feel aligned to either of these and now it is in effect have come together in this movement of sorts and have said let's have some power and unity and power in numbers and we don't want to be corrupt by either side and it's so polarized and

president poroshenko of ukraine said what made the difference is open aggression of russia and says there is no doubt there are russian regular forces and russian hardware operating on the ground across wide areas of the east. the other thing to mention is the battle is also moving to the sea as well. we had some kind of a missile or shell attack, it's still being investigated but separatists claimed responsible for it and a navy cutter where i'm standing here now was sunk on sunday as a result of a direct hit. separatists said from an artillery battery situated on the land and that is some shooting. two sailors remain missing, 8 others rescued. the conflict really has taken a turn here. >> reporter: paul thank you very much for bringing the latest in eastern ukraine. the world health organization says sinagogue needs help to contain the ebola virus after

dakar. number of migrants traveling out of north africa to seek asylum has risen sharply and 2000 people drown risking passage from libya this year, u.n. refugee agency says 1800 of those who survived the journey over the past year are now in spain, 15,000 are being held in greece but italy has by far the most with 180,000 people being held there, some 65,000 of those are from the first six months of this year and that is nearly as many as the whole of 2013. al jazeera ameed has more on the island of sicily in italy. >> reporter: ♪ they were rescued about 220 kilometers southeast of sicily. some too afraid to take their

first steps on to italian soil and others traumatized by i deal and 250 asylum seekers off the coast of egypt and rescued by a cargo ship before being handed over to italian coastal guards and the vesable that was carrying them was on the verge of sinking. >> migration of death and the smuggler treats us badly and the trip time 13 days instead of five and won't move until the boat is full and we were given a few sips of dirty water in the morning and that is it. >> reporter: they paid $2500 for the trip, some got a cheaper rate but had to sit below the deck by the engines with no ventilation. authorities say many die on such journeys asphyxiated by the fumes, these are fishing boats designed for at the most 20 people so imagine the dangers

for hundreds of migrants stacked on board for several days, sometimes in rough seas and, in fact, this one capsized, at least 50 people drown and some of their bodies were never found. they are rusty with poor engines and often don't have a navigation system or safety vests. italian police detained the crew after asking the migrants to identify them. they face up to ten years in prison. >> translator: they are all young, between 18-25 years old. there are 7 in total. one organizing the passengers, one at the engines, one was the captain. each had a specific role. >> reporter: but the punishment is not enough for what he calls human smugglers. he says he still has to come to throes with what he went through. >> translator: there are people with no principles and have no problem throwing us off board and it's about dollars and it's a strange feeling and at the sea you are at the walls of death

and when you touch land you have life. >> reporter: so far this year more than 2000 people have been lost at sea. since italy began the search and rescue operation many lives have been saved. but everyday thousands more set from north africa on the same trip with dreams of a better life, taking the same risk, their journey may end up at the bottom of the mediterranean sea. >> reporter: let's speak to sammy ahead of spokeswoman for the u.n. refugee agency and good to have you on al jazeera, thank you, we have seen a spike in the number of deaths in the mediterranean and why are more people embarking on this desperate journ my to reach europe. >> shocked by the people who are dying and receive r severing

news everyday about new people who left from tunesia and in front of nunesia and nigeria and it's a situation for any way for thousands and thousands of people to survive is fine their way to escape by crossing the mediterranean. basically we have tens of thousands of refugees that are sending an s.o.s. to europe in order to have europe to do more for them, to do more to keep and provide them with legal way to reach europe and find protection. >> tell us about the conditions they find, those who are able to make it, once they reach europe and reach italy what sort of conditions do they find and what are they facing daily? >> well, first of all you have to think that those that arriving, many times they are traumatized by what they

experienced especially in leap year and there is a war but there is a history of abuse and violence especially against women. we have many very young women pregnant arriving, many with children. so they are received in italy with the first reception measures where they have facilities. but of course they would need very specific help especially in the very first hours. they need specific assistance especially if they witness it, shipwrecks and the death of their relatives and close friends. >> certainly, as you mentioned there this crisis has thrown european union in a moral dilemma and people are asking if it's better to adopt policies or accommodate the newcomers and italy has been asking for more help, what is the unhcr doing?

what do you see as being the solution to resolving this refugee crisis? >> well, you see you have to think that really more than a half of people arriving by crossing the mediterranean to europe are refugees so people that have bright international protection so that is why we are calling to the european leaders to make available more legal ways to seek for protection in europe. either humanitarian or specific medical programs, sponsorship for students to continue their education. most of the people that are arriving are from syria, from s somalia and palestinians and iraqis as well and europe has to think about immediate strategy

but even on the short, not only on the short but even on the medium and long run, in order to make protection for them available considering all these conflicts and cries that are ongoing. >> speaking to us. >> you are welcome. >> unacr and is live and thanks for your time. deputy prime minister is headed to south africa to join talks with the country and confusion on who exactly is in power after the prime minister left last week. he is accused the military of attempting to stage a coup, that is denied by the deputy prime minister who has assumed control. in mexico the president will deliver his second state of the union address on monday night. and his approval ratings have taken a dramatic dip in resent months, in mexico city we go behind what is behind the fading

on everyday things like tuition and gas and had a punishing effect on the middle class. despite the praise abroad it's here in markets like these where one sees how people feel about him and there is a lot of frustration. people like gloria who voted for the president believing promises to improve her life, these days few people stop by her stall and she is barely able to support her four children. >> translator: i'm struggling a lot financially and feel so helpless because i keep trying to move forward but we can't get ahea ahead. >> reporter: he has been selling fish here since he was a boy, business has never been worse. it is down 50%. and he worries life is getting harder for everyone. >> translator: i saw a report on t.v. that every five seconds

a crime is committed in the capitol. why? some do it because it's easy money but others because they are poor and hungry. >> it's likely that the president knew he had to spend political capitol in order to push through his agenda and banking on popularity increasing once reforms take effect. but supporters here time is running out and he says if he can't sell more fish he probably won't vote for the president's party in next year's mid term congressional elections. i'm with al jazeera in mexico city. still to come on al jazeera, robin will have sport including the final hours of a record summer transfer period in european football and look at the biggest money moved so far. stay with us. ♪
