>> welcome to the news hour. live from our global news center in doha. i'm jane dutton. these are the stories we'll be covering. militia battle for control of the country. and an investigation into treason into two anti-government protests. month protests in hong kong

begins china's decision over future elections. and they risk death on a perilous sea trip and risk arrest if they come. we have more on the escapes. forming a new government just days after he resigned as prime minister. he has been prime minister since march, but his position has been challenged by a rival parliament and several militias. they're offering far away from the capitol. it's supporters have lost patrol of tripoli with former rebels turning their guns on each other. the most powerful brigades initially fought together to overthrow former dictator muammar qaddafi but are at odds

because of ideological differences. they've been battles over institutions such as the airport in tripoli. they have controlled the airport since 2011 go but it fell in the hands of the misrat brigades{^l" ^}. ththe fighters are believed to be were the council of the bengahzi revolutionary. more from this complex issue we have mahmood on the line in tripoli. talk to us about the movement to set up a new government. how is this going to work? >> well, this clearly shows there is a split on the political scenes especially with the house of representatives in the eastern city again the prime

minister of the new government met with a huge rage and anger especially in tripoli and bengahzi has also assigned revolutionary figure to form what is so-called national celebration government, and these days the gnc is waiting for the government. now the split is shown between two anniversaries. in terms of two different camps. the first camp, the gnc congress

with the national government led, and operation forces which has the upper hand, and ended with controlling the airport, and affiliated with the new parliament the house of representatives. as you know, the house of representatives is facing a major problem concerning the constitutional declaration. the house of representatives is unconstitutional because it does not meet the demand, it does not follow the instruction of the

declaration which said the house of representatives showe showed--should take this power or receive the power formerly from the general national conference in tripoli, and then the official head quarter of the house of representatives. now members gathering recently taking a decision that was met with a huge rage all over the country, which is demanding international intervention. yes. >> mahmood, thank you for that update on those rather dramatic developments under way in libya. now the islamic state group has been pushed out of another town in iraq. now under the control of an alliance of iraqi army forces kurdish troops and local

fighters. the town had been under control of the islamic state for three months. joining me now from the location of kikuk. i believe you have more details on the advance of the i.s. fighters. >> reporter: indeed, we're hearing that the fight early on monday but they have now cleared. i can tell that you because i've been talking about the mannedder of the special forces, and he was talking to one of his units. we could here the firing shooting off in the air. we were told that the fires have been pushed down to the southwest towards that that kind of push from both of those places is south. there is a range of mountains town there, and really the peshmerga is hoping that that

fight continues further down towards the mountain because they have traditions of fighting in mountain ranges. they feel they will have the upper hand if the fighting continues there. they are telling us that there have found bodies of i.s. fighters, they feel they have found 24 chechens from the i.d.es they're carrying. that's the first we've heard about that. the fight is pushing to the south. the fight is continuing towards where we were yesterday. >> this is a difficult fight on both sides but i'm hearing that they've got the iraqis facing the problem of i.e.d.s, homemade bombs. what is going on there? >> reporter: it's an eno an

enormous problem. they also have people looting. there are i.e.d.s all around this area. we're hearing that one group of peshmerga mine cleaning group, they have no equipment, they go house to house looking for anything that looks like a booby trap or i.e.d. and four of those soldiers have been injured doing just that. talking about the commander who runs the mine-clearing unit in kirkuk. this is a desperate problem. they're appealing to the additional community for mine-clearing equipment. the equipment that the americans left when they were here is useless now. they're appealing, one, can they get equipment, and two, can they get people to train them because they don't have the knowledge or expertise to use that equipment. >> thank you very much on that

update on that fighting in iraq. well, the pakistani government is mounding an investigation of treason against two opposition leaders at the center of the three-week sit-in. prime minister sharif has held talks with the army chef as protests for his resignation turn increasingly violent. i believe its getting increasingly violent from both sides. what's going on. >> yes, the stand off certainly has not calmed down in any shape or form. it has been going on throughout the day. as just mentioned the state broadcaster being able to--we'll have more in the report at the moment. but it's been a very politically charged day because we've heard scenarios of the government officially asking the police to

investigate charges of treason against two opposition leaders. now they're accused of in the paperwork of having been submitted to investigate committing destruction. the president sees the supreme court of pakistan interfering with state affairs and attacking state institutions. that could at a take days, weeks and month. this has launched the whole scenario into a different sphere. on one side you have the investigation of the possibility of treason. we are see several different stake holders and both trying to find a way with the politicians to talk to each other to try to calm the situation down and try to find amicable face-saving solution. the police were still firing

tear gas into the crowd. it is still ongoing at the moment as we speak. opposition leaders saying their supporters are acting peacefully. the police have been--or security says they have been quite restrained. after the day's events as we mentioned the state television prod castor being infiltrated by members of the public. kamal hyder has been watching those events and talks about how the event have been unfolding here in the capitol. >> reporter: for a moment the anti-government protesters, the office of the national broadca broadcasting transmission. the army and paramilitary rangers had to move in to clear the demonstrate tours resum

demonstrators to resume broadcasting. they call on prime minister sharif to step down. as their movement grow stronger, so have their demands. >> we're no longer going to be leaving until after a reignition. we are only leaving after a new pakistan. we're not going to settle with resignations. >> reporter: they accuse the government of fraud. three weeks ago the protesters staged a sit-in outside of parliament, but now a direct confrontation with the police. opposition leader khan said that pakistan's political system needs to change. >> we're saying to sharif that he should now step down because people will come out all over pakistan against him, and there will be losses to the pakistani people and their property.

all because he has no moral ground to continue as prime minister. >> although both leaders urge calm, both groups have gone into violence and police have responded with tear gas and republic bullets. the vie license on the streets force schools to remain closed. so far in this crisis the military has intervened only when asked by the government. but in this country that seems half its history ruled by generals. they are asking whether the military will remain neutral or take sides. >> now israel has come under intense international criticism over what palestinians are calling the biggest land grab in 30 years. israel has declared that

400 hectares of land on the west bank are state owns and say it is not a new settlement but a neighborhood of an existing one. the government invited the building of a thousand homes on the site whic. we have reports from the occupied west bank. >> this is part of the land that the israeli government is intent on confiscating, lapped that has been held by palestinians for generations. the livelihood of residents and three villages will be immediately impacted, and the mayor of this village said that move makes meaningless any claim that it wants a two-state solution. >> now in the front of the clean line, it's our land. we're talking more than 150 settlements in west bank.

more than 800,000 settlers, they live in our land. >> there has been speculation that th the confiscation is a punitive measure for the capture and killing of three young israel settlers earlier in the year. but this is more than just a punitive action. many believe highing behind th the confiscation of this land is a grand plan aimed at linking all the settlement blocks together. this is the settlement of the elite. just part of the massive complex which occupied vast waves of the west bank. successful israeli governments have made clear their insistence that it will remain part of israel even if a deal is reached through the palestinians. a clear expression of expanding

on the ground. they will continue encroaching on palestinian territory day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year. what is clear in the latest land grab which has happened south of here is that in these circumstances in this ongoing settlement growth no part of palestinian land is safe. al jazeera. >> in new york the humanitarian crisis in syria reach new heights. we'll ask whether the authorities here are doing enough to help asylum seekers. [♪ music ] >> more protest notice yemeni capital as they call for the government to step down. coming up in sport, new swiss star making he herself a

>> i don't have any hope, no. i don't have nothing. >> the family has little in syria, either. the hometown has been almost destroyed and he tells us he'll never return. but here in bureaucratic limbo implicated by strict security procedures weeding out terrorists. >> until now we don't have work permits. we don't have insurance. my son, until now he didn't go to school. all this i feel-- >> this is the largest asigh rum office in the northeast of the united states. despite the fact that the u.s. has given more financial aid to syria and has the largest resettlement program, only a few

hundred dollars have been given a home here. refugees poor into neighboring countries, the security for those still in syria is still a serious issue. immigration lawyers say many of his clients need help now. >> they have parts of their families still in syria. it's a life or death situation for them because the most this placing was delayed they may lose their family. >> reporter: the u.s. state department tell us they expect to receive nor case notice following months and say they're committed to helping the people of syria. for now all this family can do is wait. their fate remains unclear. >> the leader of yemen's community has accused the government and international community of bias against his people. he has warned of further civil disobedience if demands are not

met. >> reporter: yemen's rebels converge on the capitol square. this is where the movement galvanized the whole nation to rise. but they say the revolution has been hijacked by the old guards and they will fight until the end. >> i'm here to tell government loyalists and the president we're determined to eradicate running. the president and his government must know that they're no longer. >> they were asked by their leaders to set up protest camps and hold rallies every day to put pressure on the government. >> the time has come for the third stage of this popular he

is co-alation can i fall noose the framework of civil disobedience. we will continue in the end of the week. and if the corrupt can continue dealing in an irresponsible way we'll be forced to take further steps. >> security forces are deployed everywhere. they want to prevent any silence and their opponents. some are using these protests as a pre-ticket to stage a coup against the government. there are temperatures to reach a political settlement but for the time being if the government does not resigned and subsidies which were canceled are not reinstated, there will be no deal. >> al jazeera is continuing to demand the release of three journalists who have been detained in egypt for 247 days.

mohamed fahmy, bader mohammed, and peter greste received long sentences after trial. many observers saw as politically motivated. their convictions are being appealed. their case has been raised by the u.n. secretary general and the egyptian president. afghanistan has brought million costs of millions in the revenu revenue. >> the private sector has raised its prices so everyone comes to buy here. a lot of people come. >> prices are up in kabul's main market, not that it matters much. nobody is buying.

they say it's all because of the election deadlock. >> people are worried because of the dispute between the candidates. they won't spend a sent. >> afghanistan has been in a political crisis since presidential elections were held earlier this year. but neither of the two candidates won a majority. and each side has accused each other of fraud and vote rigging. the uncertainty is pay weighing on the people. there have been layoffs and businesses cut back and foreign aid could run out of money soon. >> reporter: they say political stalemate cannot go on much further. >> he is making less than a quarter of the money he used to. he said the politician who is caused the crisis don't care. >> neither of the two candidates will serve the people.

if they they wanted to serve the people they would have compromised right now. >> reporter: disspy problems there is optimism. the president is expected to be named soon. and they believe once there is political stability business will get better. >> let's move on to the weather. i'm hearing about flooding in south sudan. >> meteorologist: yes, it is a bit of a problem. there has been flooding over several days. we look at the satellite picture. you can see these convective storm systems which apply across the central part of africa this time of year. this is the northern part. this is where there are 40,000 displaced people struggling with the floodwaters, mostly disease and the general inconvenience of trying to get about. there is still fair amount of rain stretch from the ethiopian highlands and westward.

we're going to see more flooding over the next couple of days. the rainfall of 117 millimeters and then it starts to fall off fairly sharply. we see it push forward in the coming week or so. in the meantime the monsoon is looking fairly active across parts of west africa and as you can see we've got those clouds pushing further towards the west. we've seen flooding in recent days and it looks across most western parts there will be month flooding here. we're getting heavy rain across parts of the dic and heavy downpours. but you can see the heavy rain pushing towards the likes of senegal and it looks like there will be more rain to come here. >> thank you, richard. pro-democracy activists have erupted the speech of a beijing official after the chinese government ruled out free elections.

>> they had come to hong kong to explain what the new reforms will mean for the city. the pro-democracy groups wanted him to listen to why they were rejecting them. a move that turned their ejection from the venue. it is a taste of the direct action that is to come. >> but we will do it in a peaceful and orderly way. >> outside the shouts from the pro-democracy protesters were often drowned out by a larger demonstration of pro beijing supporters. >> what we want is a kind of democracy we just can't have. these people are just scum and running dogs. >> they were were distinctively camera shy. even scuffling with news media as they left and seeming to be

very well organized. >> many refocused to say if they were from hong kong or mainland china or say anything at all. what is clear that they are out in numbers. >> with both sides so deeply entrenched hong kong is in for discontent. demonstrations will be masked by more acts of civil disobedience. they'll be matched protest to protest. rob mcbride, al jazeera, hong kong. >> migrants are struggling to do business. plus-- >> reporter: indias new government promised to build more than 5 million toilets in its first 100 days in office. i'm taking a look at whether it has achieved that goal. >> reporter: then in sport real madrid are shocked in a six-goal thriller.

robin is standing by with those details. @

>> a reminder the top stories on. al jazeera. rival militias continue fight for control. the focus is now on bengahzi where armed militia group is reportedly moving towards the air base. thousands of anti-government protesters in pakistan's capitol are trying to storm the prime

minister's residence. now they've brought treason-related charges against their leaders. they're investigating that front. the islamic state group has bushed out in iraq. an alliance of army forces, kurdish troops and local fighters. africa union troops along with the somalia army have driven out al-shabaab fighters in as many days. the rebels left the area on sunday without a single shot being fired. the victory brings african union forces one step closer in their advance on al-shabaab's stronghold. the department prime minister headed to south africa to join talks to resolve the political crisis, there is confusion for who exactly is in power of the prime ministepower.

the prime minister left lesotho last week. senegal needs urgent help to or contain the owe bowl la virus after it's first case. there are now concerns of a backlash against the migrant population. >> for 40 years he has been selling fruits and vegetables from this market. he said he never felt so worried. the market is strangely quiet. even his regular customers aren't coming to shop any more. >> they won't say it to my face but i know they're scared of ebola. most of what we sell we bring from guina. >> more than 400 people have died in guinea. they're hoping to prevent the

virus from entering the country. but on friday the health minister announced it's first case of ebola. the victim is a 20-year-old guinean immigrants living in d dakar. >> they're holding him i in and looking for those he has come into contact. >> many travel across the border. they make up the largest migrant population here. >> of course there are risks shopping here. when i get home everything i buy from them i wash carefully. >> traders are finding it difficult to source different fruits. they've run out of avocados and pineapples but this is the least

of hasan's worries. his most immediate concern is to win back the trust of his customers. this might not happen until the ebola outbreak is under control. >> 4,000 migrants from the mediterranean sea over the weekend. u.n.'s refugee agency said those who survived the journey are now in spain. another 15,000 migrants are held in greece. but italy has by far the most with 17,000 people being held there. some 65,000 of those are from the first six months of this year and nearly as many as in the whole of 2013.

we've got reporters on both sides of the mediterranean for the story. in a moment we'll go live. he's on the catania island of sicily. but first let's go to where many people have been rescued in recent weeks. what's the situation there? >> well, of course, a lot of the people are going from libyan shores. that's because--that is where they're able to get on those smuggler boats and it's a treacherous journey. they're suffering a lot from this. they're saving around hundreds of people who have been brought here to tunisia, but they have found many people whose bodies have been washed up in recent days. joining me now the ac acting chief economists here. let's talk about this from an

economic perspective. is there anything that european countries should and could be doing to stop this flow? >> thank you so much. maybe i should begin by saying the african are in the process of holding back their headquarters. i appreciate this opportunity to say something to you and al jazeera, because i believe that we should put the issue in a challenging context. imagine africa, i red that 250,000 people have moved from south sudan to ethiopia. these are poor countries. and think about proximity. europe is very close.

tunisia and libya used to be provinces. it's that close. this movement should not be surprising to us. >> a lot of these young people are unemployed. some of them are illiterate. we're talking about young africans desperate enough to risk their lives so many times to get to europe. is this there something that europe should be be doing to stop this, is this just the way it is, it is just going to continue. >> there is a humanitarian crisis that needs to be handled, but you might put it in a broader context, and the context is that africa could be seen as an european opportunity. there are young men and there are many things that they can do. one big asset is their youth and their strength. nobody can cross the sahara and

come though thes to these countries without being strong and strong-willed. these are very strong people who could contribute. when you look at it in a broader context of the demographic challenges here in europe here there are people we could do training and also going back to the broader context, have we tried to help in africa to reduce the tariff barriers and so on. maybe we haven't. >> thanthank you for meeting us on this beach. we know where the migrants and asylum seekers are heading. they're trying to get to europe and the first port of call is catania and italy. where we're reporting from. >> yes, indeed, in the next 24 hours about a thousand more migrants are expected not only here in sicily, but in mainland

city in the port town. needless to say italian authorities are overwhelmed by the continuous flux of people. you know, they have put that mission--they go out on patrol and rescue these people who are braving very dangerous conditions really just to try to make it here as a first step towards a better life. they were asked about 220 kilometers southeast of sicily. some, to take their first steps on to italian soil. about 250 asylum seekers are saved off the coast of egypt. they are he asked but being ha handed over to guards. their vessel was on the verge of seeking. >> they call it the migration of death. the trip took 13 days instead of

five. they won't move until the boat is full. we didn't have food. we were given a few sips of dirty water in the morning. that's it. >> each paid an average of 205,00 $2,500 for the trip. many die on such journeys. these are some of the boats confiscated from smugglers. they're fishing boats designed to hold 20 people. imagine the dangers for hundreds of migrants stacked on board for several days and sometimes in rough seas. this one capsized and some of the bodies were never found. >> they often don't have a navigation system or safety vests. they detained the crew after asking the migrants to identify them. they face up to 10 years in

prison. >> they're all young, 18 to 25 years old. seven in told. one was organizing the passengers. one at the engines. one was the captain. each have a specific role. >> but the punishment is not enough for what he calls human smugglers. he said he still has to come to terms with what he went through. >> there are people with no principles. they have no problem throwing us over board. it's all about dollars. when you touch land you feel you have returned to life. >> the u.n. agency for refugees say more than 2,000 people have been lost at sea. since italy began its searc search and rescue operation many lives have been saved, but every day thousands set off from north africa on the same trip with dreams of a better life taking the same risk their journey might end up at the bottom of the mediterranean sea.

now making it here is one thing. but the process is still very long. most of the people who do arrive here "k" can apply for asylum status, but that takes months because of the sheer volume of people. italian authorities are sifting through the migrants priorities given to those who have come from syria, somalia, places where there is war, and it's pretty shoes they'll get their status as refugees. but you do have people who come because of economic companies back moment like egyptians, where they are usually sent back home. there are two flights that go every week from sicily back to egypt. bringing those people back. it is a huge concern for the italians, it's costing them about 12 months per month. now they have asked the e.u. to step in, and it appears the e.u. from november will be sharing some of that burden with the italian authorities.

>> thank you for that. >> in mexico city we complain what is behind the leader's fa fading popularity. >> reporter: he command to make mexico richer, strong. he pushed through a dozen reforms. overhauling education, banking, and perhaps the most controversial, the energy sector. and he even managed to capture the most wanted drug lord in the world. world leaders praised him for his tough stance on crime and ambitious reforms. his streak was so hot it landed him on the cover of timing a. why is president pena nieto, seeing his approval ratings

falling below 50%. >> it doesn't matter the production increases or the energy reform. none of it matters if people can't put food on the table. >> reporter: last year the mexican economy grew slightly over 1%. the fiscal reform hiked taxes on every day expenses such as school tuition, plane tickets, food items and gas. it has had a punishing effect on the middle class. despite the praise abroad it's here in markets like these where one gets a sense of how mexicans feel about pena n.i.e.t.o. and there is a lot of frustration. she voted for the president believing the promises to improve her life. these days few people stop at her stall and she's barely able to support her children. >> i struggle financially and i

feel helpless because i try to move forward, but we can't get ahead. >> or men like girl better, who has been selling fish since he was a boy. >> i saw a report on tv that every five second a crime is committed in the capitol. why? some people do it because it's easy money. others because they're poor and hungry. >> it's likely that the president knew he had to spend political capital to push through his agenda and he's depending on his popularity until his changes take effect. >> we'll go into the final hours

of the transfer period in european football. we'll take a look at the biggest money move so far.

>> intra's prime minister and his japanese counterpart have agreed to speed up talks on a nuclear package. signing infrastructure on a deal worth billions with prime

minister abe. india's prime minister has promised to build 5 million toilets. building toilets for a better future. thanks to a campaign to build out houses in a village nearly every family here has a toilet. but the founder of india's toilet biggest charity said the country needs more than the government has pledged to build millions of toilets in first 100 days in office. >> this is very important. >> for the people having a toilet at home is about more than just convenience. they have been taught the dangers of using the fields near her home.

>> for girl's safety there has to be a toilet in the house. i have told my parents that i won't marry into a house that does not have a toilet. it's about respecting me as a girl. >> according to the "world health organization" 600 million indians, half of the population, defecate outdoors. >> across the country even along mumbai millions of people do not have access to safe, clean, and private toilet facilities. even when shared toilets are available some people would rather not use them. this woman has no toilet in her home pays $0.03 every time she uses these facilities. but they're filthy and closed for most of the night. >> if we had a woman's toilet we

could use them in courage. strange men hang around here and we're scared to come on our own. >> many avoid relieving themselves late at night. this creates health problems. >> the government has made ind india's toilet troubles a top priority, but it may be some time yet before it ensures hundreds of millions of people are spared this daily humiliation. >> we go to robin. >> thank you very much. >> we're going to start with tennis. with only three of the top ten still if contention for the title. we have the action. >> reporter: it was another day of obsessive as more big names crashed out. probably the biggest wozniacki

beating out sharapova. >> it means a lot for me. the season for me has been a little bit up and down, and you know, it's so nice to start feeling i'm playing the way i want to, and this whole season has been amazing for me. i'm feeling really good in court. >> spa match followed by another upset as bencic knocked out yankovic to reach her firs

first--grand slam fight. the upsets were not restricted to the women's draw. roger federer goes into the further round. and will pla >> barcelona, 19-year-old earning a a win. 4-2. and the transfer deadline day.

the window closes i in eight hours and four minutes. this has been the most expensive of transfers. there has been an appetite of sinking teeth in opponents. suarez has started practicing with his barcelona players but is still serving a suspension for biting. and real ma dread spending

$118 million on james rodriguez. and he is $99 million for angel d maria. david luiz is the most expensive defender in history. we go to the author of a book called "the numbers game." we go live to london. thank you for coming to the program. what kind of success are we looking at here. there are certain teams it's staying up in the top leagues. and others it's profess. >> it's a very good question. when it comes to transfer money it has a lot to do with the

chicken and the egg question. do think make big money because they sign the players who will do so, or do they sign the players who will make them more money. some clubs just like to spend money because their fans expect it. you mentioned real madrid just a few seconds ago. it's the kind of club regardless of which year it is or which summer it is, a big signing is expected, and again we saw a big signing. >> many clubs are using technology to analyze the performance of new players? >> it's simply a new technology, more technology that is used to evaluate the players ability and quality. often times, though, it is technology being used at the tail end of the process. it's not the case that technology is used early on to say who do we need, who do we

need to sign. let's use technology to idea those players. oftentimes clubs settle on a play or players they want to sign using old fashioned methods of scouting and then using technology to make sure that in the due diligence of a player they're not overlooking something. the player really is who they thought it was. the video analysis using computers to watch video using data that are provided by pr. and still very much used by the scouting. >> the book, thank you very much for your insights. the second fedex event in

boston. rory mcilroy is second, and the $10 million tied for third, two shots back. the italian open was a disappointing day for gallagher and his hopes. they finished on 20 under after 4 under of 68. missing out on one shot finishing third. he could have a place on the team as the wildcard. that is sport for now. thank you for watching. >> thank you very much. we've got another full bulletin of news coming up. stay watching. we'll see you later. bye.

>> an eye opening america tonight special report. >> have you ever seen anybody get shot? >> one year later, correspondent christof putzel returns to the streets of chicago. >> i don't like walk out no more... >> why is that? >> a lot of shooting and stuff... >> a community still struggling against violence. >> i did something positive... >> have people lost hope? >> this is a grown man that shot a little kid. >> or have citizens made a difference? >> glad that somebody that's at least standing up and caring about us man... >> america tonight only on aljazeera america

>> there is no practical crstacle whatever now to the
