[♪ music ] >> >> announcer: this is al jazeera hello, warm welcome to this al jaseera newshour. i'm david foster, this is some of what we have coming up in the next 60 minutes. three months into his presidency, egypt's leader forced to announce why they have suffered power cuts. >> we hear dozens have been killed in fighting to the north of the capital, we'll be live there. a prisoner swap in ukraine expected as a ceasefire in the

east holds. you cranian -- ukranian authorities dispute this. >> i'm phil lavelle at the venice film festival. we are about to find out who has won the big prize, the golden lion, join us shortly as we go through the contenders. he only took over the presidency in june. egypt's president has been forced to explain himself on television. they suffered a massive blackout on thursday morning in cairo, and protests quickly followed. here is some of what abdul fatah al-sisi had to say. >> translation: we should be aware that part of the crisis can't be remedied overnight. let me remind you of my contract. i said we, egyptians have

insurmountable obstacles to overcome, and we can't do it without your support. >> let's get a point of view from a journalist who suffered. i think you got your power back. tell us a little about the scale of the problem. >> the scale of the problem is that food is going bad in restaurants, and people go to eat, and the stuff - people are suffering in hospital because of the lack of electricity, because power generators, and children and babies on support, on machines that support their lives - some of them die. some of the elderly people depending on machines for respiration die because of this.

people's electricity equipment in their homes they suddenly catch fire because of the - the electricity comes suedly, it was -- suedly. it was -- suddenly, it's high voltage, and the equipment doesn't really work with the high voltage. they are on fire. >> the president said in his speech an hour ago that massive investment is needed, it's been neglected, it's not his problem, and he arrived for patience from the people. >> if he's asking for investment. he should comfort the investors. the investors don't want to spend their money in a failed country with failed power, with failed water supply and electricity. if i want to invest in a country, i need it to be stable and providing me with the basic

needs, electricity, water, and other services. this is ridiculous if he's asking for invest to restore services in egypt. he's scaring off investors. >> the protests themselves, in the past in egypt. we saw hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people on the streets, which red to massive political turmoil. the egyptian president said there were those that were trying to ferment trouble. what is the scale of the unrest? >> the unrest will not stop. the unrest is not political. because of the lack of services, because of the prices of goods going up, people not comfortable about their lives, the salaries, the prices they are paying for,

and the new taxes imposed, because of many, many failures that they have witnessed under abdul fatah al-sisi. so it will no longer be political, but it will be more violent and more in size than before. reacting to the words of the egyptian president. apologising - not in so many words - saying it was hardly his fault but inevitable that there were power cuts across egypt. turning to ukraine, it's 24 hours, probably less, since a ceasefire was agreed in belarus, talks between the pro-russian rebels, the ukranian forces and other interested parties, including the russian hierarchy itself. well, we had understood, we've been broadcasting for a number of hours that things looked

stable in that country. as we go to paul brennan, in donetsk, in eastern ukraine, the suggestion from the ukranian authorities is there has been violations of the ceasefire. >> yes. we are getting - news is starting to filter in from the large area of donetsk, and of the strains which are being put on this ceasefire, by accusations from both sides, frankly of sporadic violations of the truce - the deal signed. realistically you would expect indiscipline because the forces, on the pro-russian side are often a rag tag militia, but the accusations on both sides are filtering in. we heard from the colonel, he's

speaking. it's going on at the moment. he's a spokesperson for the security council. he's enlisting, in some detail, the violations from the pro-russian side that he's alleging. from 6:08 to 6:13. the pontoon bridge was fired upon. during the night the ukranian military unit, which is holding donetsk international airport, that that came under fire, and we had spoken about whether there is a continuance on voluntary battalion fighters loyal to kiev are holed up. they came under attack overnight, but were able to repel the attack by pro-russian separatist militia. one of the senior leaders of the donetsk people's republic in the city where i'm standing, is

alleging that the ukranian army has been violating the ceasefire. it is both sides flipping accusations in either direction. i have to say, though, that there isn't a feeling that the whole ceasefire, the overall picture - it's not ripped up yet. we are not back to the drawing board as far as that goes. there are strains, perhaps inevitable strains as the early hours of the ceasefire takes effect. >> i'll ask you in a minute about where the situation goes from here. what happens next. but a little bit of history, not going to go amiss. since the beginning of the year we saw ukraine lose control of crimea, annexed by russia in march. there has been fighting in eastern ukraine, particularly where paul is in donetsk and luhansk. more than 2, 500 - 2,600 plus have been killed in the conflict, and nearly a million ukrainians had to leave their homes to escape the fighting.

you were showing us pictures of children roller blading in donetsk, a semblance of normality, and many hope that that remains. in terms of taking it to a conclusion. we are a long way off. >> i think that's the case, yes. you are quite right. i mean, there are too many people who departed from the city for normality to remain, resume. donetsk is like a ghost town. this is supposed to be a city of a million people. there's less than 200,000 people left here. many don't go out, the shops boarded up. there are basic amenities, we have been without running water for three days, it was restored that night. buses are running. the sense of normality has to return, hasn't properly returned in any great shape or form. the reality is that the conflict over the last five months has

driven a wedge between the two-thirds of ukraine, that regards itself as loyal to the administration, and the one-third here in the east, alining closely with russia politically and sentimentally, as well as the ambitions of the people here. you could argue strongly that the separatists ceased power, and the ordinary people didn't have a huge amount of say in it. it wasn't without some degree of support. people want peace. they want their right to be respected, and there was a strong feeling in the east that kiev was not doing that. i know from listening and reporting for the past five months that kiev was making announcement because the russian language will be preserved in the east. the message was not heard, whether it was not getting through or listened to, the analysts will have to argue about that one. there'll be a lot of bridge building necessary before the east and west of ukraine can

call this a proper peace. >> thank you paul beban in donetsk. i want to tell you that in egypt the prosecutor there has charged the ousted president mohamed mursi with passing state secrets to qatar. mohamed mursi, on trial, but now charged, according to authorities there, by the egyptian prosecutor, with passing state secrets to qatar. now to yemen - 50 have been killed in fighting in the past few days between yemen by troops and shia rebels in the north of sanaa, the capital. hutus are not letting up in demands for the governments resignation. let's go live, we were going live, i hoped to go there. we'll try to get them back but hear what they say in the

report. >> reporter: government loyalists on the streets of sanaa. they say they are ready to die for the republic, accusing the hutus of manoeuvring to create a religious state. >> translation: i feel sad because in 2011 the hutus are with us. now they are allies with the old regime and will never accept that. >> reporter: this gathering is sunni. thousands of people and the preacher who attended friday prayers denounced terrorism, . weeks of divide has divided yemenize and raised concerns, especially after the hutus vowed to press ahead with more political representation in the government. another rally, and another friday prayer, led by the hutus, who are escalating their protest. dismissing an of by the

president of forming a new government, and cutting fuel prices. >> despite the growing anger, hewitt yits nist their -- hutus insist their campaign is peaceful. >> i would like to reassure people that we will not let yemen slip towards civil war. the police and the army understands that violence begets violence. >> reporter: discontent spreads to the streets. back-channel talks are under way. latest talks by the hutus controls the north, boosting the chance for the president to make more concessions in the coming days. coming up on the newshour, an al-shabab leader is killed in a u.s. fight. we look at the security threats na somalia faces from the rebel group. plus... [ ♪ music ] ..music, yoga and ping pong. we are at the library redefining

what it means to be bookish. serena williams in another u.s. open file. the story of that and the rest of the news in a moment. kurdish fighters battling the islamic state group in northern iraq claim they are running out of weapons. they claim ammunition and arms meant for the peshmerga, are stuck in baghdad. >> reporter: germany standing by its pledge to help the kurdish. weapons, assault rifles, armoured vehicles have been sent to baghdad. at the n.a.t.o. summit david cameron reiterated the u.k.'s commitment to help. >> we are playing that role, we

are arming the kurds, helping the iraqi government, flying missions over iraq, supplying humanitarian aid. >> for all the politicians promises, and the boxes of arms and ammunitions, they have yet to turn up here. instead the kurds believe they are sitting in warehouses, while the peshmerga are running out of bullets for their outdated weapons. the policy was to keep the peshmer peshmerga in a situation that is not too strong. the policy is the same. there'll be attempts to keep them in baghdad. >> peshmerga command here say the same thing, they are not seeing the foreign reppons getting through baghdad in preparation for a push on mosul. >> we heard of weapons coming

in. we got information about that, but have not seen any weapons so far. >> reporter: the iraqi government insisted all foreign shipments must go through baghdad. the kurds suggested a fortnight ago that the plane land in erbil. there was no reply. it's suggested that the planes touch down in baghdad, checked and flown north. the longer the shipments are delayed. the longer the peshmerga are outgunned. the kurds are got only fighting the islamic state, but are giving shelter to the yazidi. who the islamic state group are persecuting. neighbouring states are giving a hand, when they've been able to make it over the border.

a report from refugee camps. at eastern turkey, near the border. >> reporter: this is a kurdish chant for those left behind. these yazidi are safe in a turkish refugee camp. many have relatives threatened by the advance through northern iraq by the islamic state. this person was one of thousands trapped on mt sinjar, circled by is fighters. >> we walked for a long time, until we reached the mountains, it was a small water spring for thousands of women. the peshmerga and iraqi army disappeared. we ran away to protect our honour. we yazidi are targeted. the islamic state group singled us out, meaning to kill us all. >> the camp overs schooling and

care. it costs $50,000 a day to run. next door, a reminder of the refugee crisis turkey has been managing for more than three years. at the top of the hill one of the more than 20 syrian refugee camps in the country. the facilities here are of a high standard. the camp is full. for now, this is the last yazidi refugee camp built in turkey. the turkish government is paying for three more refugee camps, but is building them over the border in kurdish glassed iraq. security concerns meant the final location of the camps in iraq had to be changed. now they are expected to be ready to host 35,000 yazidi by mid september. >> we have been in close cooperation with the local authorities, to ensure that the sight we will build the camps that (a) are safe and (b)

allowing us to provide the same services. >> reporter: many we spoke to will not go back to iraq. is fighters showed little tolerance, even for fellow muslims who deviate from the hard line determination of their faith. yazidi wonder how much hope they have. united states and somalia governments confirm the killing of al-shabab's top leader. ahmed godane and others died after a strike on a convoy. godane was the leader in 2008 after his predecessor was killed in another strike. >> reporter: the government of somalia reacted to news of the death of al-shabab's leader mohammed abdi godane. it was said it was time to take

advantage of peace and take advantage of a 45-day amnesty period. the president acknowledged that the air strikes against the leadership was war -- carried out with the knowledge of his government. it was he who led the group to cross its borders and carry out matters in kenya and uganda. obviously the remaining leadership of al-shabab will try to fill the role that has been left by godan e. it remains to be seen if they'll find someone with the clout and gravitas this man enjoys. still, al-shabab dominates many ruling parts of somalia,

after being pushed out of mogadishu in 2011. fighters lost a key port. and a year later al-shabab has a strict version of sharia law in areas it controls and has been blamed for a series of suicide attacks in somalia or kenya much the group says it is allied with al qaeda, and has up to 9,000 fighters. matt bridon is a researcher on somalia, and worked with the somalia monitoring group of the united nations, joining us from nairobi. as when the previous leader of al-shabab was killed, another was there to take his place, and the attacks continue. will the death of god arny make a difference. ane make a difference. . >> we'll have to see whether the movement can hold itself toot. a lot has change -- itself together. a lot has changed. godane controlled the organization and personalized

his rule. there are tensions within the group. there is a risk of fracture and different factions within al-shabab growing apart now that godane has gone. >> how much of a danger an al-shabab to the government in mogadishu, and other neighbouring countries such as kenya? >> there are parts of the al-shabab functioning with autonomy, especially parts involved in operations outside the country. we should expect a wave of retaliatory attacks, or attempted attacks. i don't expect the movement to cave in or violence to cease. the real key here is that the forces are depriving the al-shabab group from revenue on

taxing downs. it's lost its leader and territory and financing. it's, for the first time in a long time on the defensive. >> is he getting money from elsewhere. you talk about the taxes and the towns. the ransoms paid because of the boats held and people that were held prisoner for a long time. does he have support away from where it's based? it receives money from outside. all the indications are this is not as significant as the money the group raised through taxing territories under its control. more importantly, al-shabab is exploiting political and communal grievances in somalia. it's an extremist group rapped in insurgency.

the real challenge is to extend political outreach, extend the communities, use al-shabab for leverage and launch an ipp clues of political -- inclusive political process. >> thank you. matt bridon talking there from nairobi about event in somalia. it has brought torrential rain and killed more than 110 in pakistan. more heavy rain is expected. large parts of lahore, the second-biggest city. the rain is overloading the drapage system there -- drainage system there. worst affected, pun jab and kashmir. india has been badly hit. 100 have been killed in what is described as the worst flooding for 60 years. ever con is with us here. stayed -- everton is here with
