♪ >> announcer: this is al jazeera. ♪ welcome to the al jazeera news hour, i'm in doha and coming up, in the next 60 minutes, ceasefire and protesters in yemen capital and five people have been killed and more than 50 injured. iraq's prime minister forms inclusive government but not everyone is on board. sick but no where to go, ebola treatment centers are overflowing with new cases. and the world's most expensive video game goes on sale but will it make a profit? ♪

welcome to the program and we begin in yemen where police opened fire on protesters to stop them from reaching the prime ministers office and two people have been killed and demonstrators from the minority are demanding the government step down and we go live from the yemen capitol and tensions rising on the streets, tell us what has been going on there. >> reporter: we are still near the office of the prime minister where earlier in the day they were marching toward the building and prevented by security forces and there were fences there and knocked down by protesters and at that moment police started firing warning shots. somehow for some reason things went wrong and they started opening fire, injuring people

and five people were killed, dozens injured and a local hospital is asking people to donate blood. it's a very difficult situation. and they asked for more reenforcements and denied reports by protesters managed to break in the building but what we know so far is there is an escalation and the protesters go closer to the building and now they have set up a new protest camp, a new camp in the area. >> we know the protesters have promised updating demands to the government in terms of restoring fuel subsidies and pushing the government to resign and what is the next move for both sides? >> reporter: as far as they are concerned we do understand now we have a clear idea about the structure. this is one of the occupy movement. they want to go closer to buildings, occupy the area and then wait for orders from their leader either to move into the building, occupy it and send a

signal to the government they are determined to fight until the government goes. the political message is prime minister's office are inefficient government therefore we have to occupy them. but we have to see the reaction of the president. the president has been meeting with his top military commanders over the last 48 hours. we are getting more reports that if talks fail in the coming hours or the coming days he will have only one option, to go for a confrontation here in the capitol and in the strong hold province. >> we are in the yemen capitol and thank you. let's cross to iraq where the parliament approved a new government where the key roles are defense ministers are yet to be filled. prime minister a moderate shia is under pressure to foramen clue civ cabinet and many believe it's a vital first step to fight islamic state fighters who currently control a third of the country and will the

appointment follow the resignation of former prime minister maliki and accused of favoring the minority and two main from groups in iraq, a sunni and a kurd have been named as deputy prime ministers. and we report from the iraqi capitol. ♪ iraq is in danger of breaking apart. this new government is supposed to help bring it together. reluctant introduction of his cabinet this wasn't a great start. >> translator: i will go ahead and list the names but i have to say i respect all of them and i'm committed to working with them as partners, but i did not choose all of these names. despite the fact the designated prime minister has the right to choose a cabinet some of the political blocks did not give me that option. >> reporter: for eight years iraq's fate has been dominated by one man, former prime

minister maliki and the cabinet has far more political heavy weights including three foreign prime ministers and he reached out to ordinary iraqis. >> translator: we stand before the will of our people, aspiring to achieve their supreme goals and iraqi live in love and unity under one home land and enjoy the riches of the lands in every corner of the country. >> reporter: he promised to continue the fight against the islamic state group. but a government that was intended to reach out to the kurds and the sunnis left at least one of those factions unimpressed. it wasn't clear the kurds would show up and when they did they had a list of demands still to be negotiated including oil revenue and resolving disputed territorie territories. >> translator: despite disagreements they decided to participate in the government on a three-month trial basis pending its decisions regarding the demands of the kurd region.

>> reporter: in their rush to form a government by the deadline there were three posts left unfilled and two are crucial positions of defense and interior minister and they would agree on those in the next week. after finally agreeing to step down as prime minister, maliki becomes one of three vice presidents. >> there was an awful lot of pressure to put together this government on time. and there was some doubt that he could actually do it. now he has put it together the challenges to convince iraqis and his own political supporters that this is a government that can actually be effective, jane with al jazeera baghdad. the u.n. special envoy has visited libya officially elected parliament and his trip is a show of support against the rival assemblies set up by armed groups who seized tripoli last month and it's led and seen as

religiously conservative and supported by malitia from misrati and calling themselves the dawn of libya. and this is led by former prime minister who has been asked to form a government. and also supports the rent grade general from the libyan army who launched a war against rival malitia and we have more. >> reporter: functioning as a proper government but this is libya opposition government in tripoli with the prime minister in charge. >> translator: we call upon brothers and sisters and all ministries to start their work and work seriously in order to save the country and facilitate the missions of the state. >> reporter: but there is an issue here, 1,000 kilometers to the east is where the recently elected government and prime minister are based. libya has two prime ministers and two seats of power. because the previous parliament, the controversial general national congress refused to

break up after june elections and now is led by el-hissy and they are divided where their country is headed. >> translator: i feel for libya. i don't know about the future, still there is no real security, no real security. >> translator: i can say i'm very, very, very optimistic. >> reporter: the u.n. enjoy to libya visited tobrook the international recognized government and earned the various malitias to ceasefire and all to work on a political solution and this is a form too loosely affiliated blocks and one backing the good evening and seen more moderate and others backing leaders in tripoli and seen as religiously conservative. the diplomacy has so far failed and it appears that the gun holds all the power here. the u.n. and many foreign missions have pulled out their staff. libyans left their country because of instability. the june elections were hopes to

be a unifying step and divisions among two prime ministers and two governments. but in spite of the elections those divisions have deep enled it seems no one wants to give up power here, stephanie decker, al jazeera. united states and britain are sending medical equipment and military personnel to help contain the ebola virus spreading across west africa. the world health organization is warning of thousands of new cases in the coming weeks. five countries in the region have been infekcted and 2000 people killed as a result of the virus and 4,000 cases meaning the virus has a fatality rate of around 50%. in liberia the government has extended a nighttime curfew imposed last month to contain the spread of the virus but as we report the hospital betz that are really needed. >> reporter: these people in the liberian capitol might have the ebola virus but by the time

they find out it could be too late because most treatment centers are full. >> told me he said we only have five spaces this morning for patients and now they are filled. all ebola patient so there is no space again. >> reporter: at another hospital only pregnant women and critical cases are being cared for. new centers have been opened in liberia but even counting those the world health organization says the capitol and surrounding county only have half the betz they need. the who is warning the number of new ebola cases is increasing x and they are stopped treating the general public. the virus is also infecting liberia psyche and here artists paint a picture of fear on an mural in monrovia and former

footballer says the outbreak is changing the very nature of his country. >> it's an epidemic in society. we should hold our hands and embrace each other and it's ticking away that harmonious part of our life. >> reporter: liberia is the worst hit by west africa's ebola out break and no where to go more and more potential patients have no choice but to go home, carrying the deadly virus with them, joanna with al jazeera. we hope to go to liberia minister later in the program but still to come here on al jazeera, a new report outlining what happened to malaysia airlines mh-17 that went down in ukraine has been released. we will have details. a big day for apple's i-phone but why did it take a bite out of the asian market and could the winner of the u.s. open have

a change in guard in tennis, sport is a little bit later in the program. ♪ now investigators in the netherlands released their findings to what brought down malaysia airlines mh-17 over eastern ukraine, 298 passengers and crew were on board. let's join tim friend, he is live for us in the hague now. tim, this is just an initial report by dutch officials into the crash, what are the main conclusions from it? >> well, it says that when the technical faults, the crew did nothing wrong, but there is evidence, clear evidence from photographs they have seen of the damage to the aircraft that it was penetrated by high velocity objects which caused the aircraft to break up in mid

air and crash to earth. now, the allegation is from the ukrainian government and some western leaders that this aircraft was brought down either deliberately or by accident by pro-russian rebels in eastern ukraine, firing a book, essay 11 missile. now, this report which has been released in the last couple of hours does not go into that kind of speculation about who is responsible, it simply deals with hard facts at least those that have been able to ascertain and doesn't say it's a missile but rules out any other possible. all the recordings, the black box flight recorders as they are called and the voices ended at the same time. there was though distress call and no trouble on board up to that moment but four hours in the flight from amsterdam to

kuala-loupa happened and the damage to the aircraft is consistent with this type of missile because it doesn't actually hit the aircraft, it ex employeds nearby and scatters it, shrapnel and weaponry all over the place. so there is more work to be done because this report is preliminary report and a full report will be released within the year. >> tim, just briefly, as you say the report itself doesn't apportion blame and what happens next? this report still leaves many questions unanswered. >> they need to get better access to some of the wreckage. you will recall that when this aircraft first crashed, the site of the wreckage which was spread over several kilometers was not made secure. the bodies have been recovered over the ensuing days and weeks,

although there still may be remains there. but the investigators have not been able to get on the ground. they simply, as far as pictures go, had to rely on photographs taken by ukrainians at the time. they need to get to the site to examine more fully. and also, just i'll be brief, but they need to look at radar and satellite imagery which may help them later on further examination, the pinpoint where any missile if that is what it was was fired from and that may give clues as to who was responsible. >> tim friend at the hague and tim thank you. let's get more now on the ebola outbreak in west africa and we will speak to lewis brown, the information minister and is live via skype from the capitol monrovia and we will start briefly if we can and bring us up to date on the official position of just how bad the ebola virus is in your country and whether or not you are in control of it.

>> well, i can only borrow from the president and thank you for having me and in her words the situation is grave and we indicated previously it will get worse before it gets better, but we are encouraged by the level of work we are beginning to see in communities, communities are increasingly taking ownership of this fight. they have built or rebuilt themselves into teams where it would have been previously difficult for us to identify who may be seeking communities and community leaders have rallied around the communities and presenting people in record numbers who are demanding entry. >> okay, okay, so you're saying it's a community-based fight. some reports suggest that liberia with a population of just over four million people has only 50 doctors, if that is the case things are pretty

desperate, aren't they? >> absolutely. and these figures actually are improvement. you know that we have had a devastated conflict and the damage to infrastructure in the country. we were just entering the 10th year of the peace and giving comfort to people and brain power to return to our country and correct. up to 2006 we had about seven counties and we are a country of 15 counties and we have 7 without durable public health facility or a medical doctor in any of them, and we have to make sure that 80% of our population had access to medical facilities within five kilometers. >> and we know they are operating in liberia said the west needs to do a lot more to help west africa.

and will liberia be asking for international help, have you asked for help already? >> we have and we will continue to do so, quite rightly so this is an epidemic we could not have been prepared for, it has over stretched and over taxed or public health facilities and capabilities. and the world health organization on the center for disease control are working with a strategic partnership and getting support from friendly governments including the united king m do, the united states of america and china, but we want to emphasize that clearly we certainly need to do more. this is the community must do more at this time. >> lewis brown thank you so much for talking to al jazeera. >> thank you for having me. >> indian army and airforce rescued hundreds stranded by flooding in kashmir, more than a thousand flood victims made it to relief camps but many more

are still stranded with 2 1/2 villages submerged. 200 people killed and trying to bring thousands of people trapped in flooded village's to safety and kamal sent this from pakistan's province. >> reporter: the situation in the southern part of panjab is now precarious and they are trying to save the road links which will help rescue teams go in the affected area and they are using helicopters and boats. but as we can see the situation is now worsening in the south as the water goes through the towns and when water is receding in those parts of the country the water is posing a serious threat to other parts of the pinjab and in the south and right now the

priority is to keep the roads open so that relief supplies can arrive on the scene. >> i was going to check on the global weather now but richard things are looking pretty bad there. >> the report from kamal you say has sunshine and that is what they have at the moment so it's a case of what has actually fallen there. the satellite image shows nothing more than showers in northern parts of india and pakistan and both are badly affected so it's more of a problem rather than metrological and it's not what falling or fall end but it's what is in the rivers and it will take quite some time before all that water begins to flow away significantly. in the meantime it's further towards the south and west. we had heavy rain and we seen significant rainfall totals here. looking at the forecast you can see much of northern pakistan and northwestern parts of india are in this region and looking

large because the monsoon should be weakening and shrinking to the south and east and we will continue to see heavy rain over the next couple of days with isolated thunderstorms likely in the previously-affected areas. here in arab a showers in yemen but we have a wind picking up a little bit and the humidity levels are thankfully dropping a bit here and should continue to do so over the next few days as the breeze strengthens and it's 42 degrees across the rest of the region. still looking pretty hot like cities and temperatures coming out at 44 degrees. >> richard thank you. the u.s. congress is due to hold hearings on the millzation of police forces and the issue gained traction in america since the shooting of michael brown in ferguson, missouri, the death triggered protests and the police response that followed have been heavily criticized and malaysia chan takes a closer

look at the issue. >> reporter: it is an expo that attacks police from across the country and urban shield also attacks the military, army, navy and marine corps are here, you can of course tryout the hardwar hardware. >> oh, it's like a very expensive paint ball toy you have. >> it's a replica of a actun ac thing where the officer can make it feel like an actual weapon. >> reporter: the line has blurred between the police and military but officers tell us for good reason. >> the crux of the matter is in the world and in the united states we keep having what i call nut cases with a sole intent of killing people. >> reporter: the expo is one part of urban shield, the other half is training. in this scenario we are going to see an assassination attempt on a dignatory. over 48 hours scores of swat

teams will go through this training event. [gunfire] it's this kind of tactical training that has been crucial, for example in helping police prepare and respond to an event such as last year's bombings at the boston marathon, acquisition of military grade weapons they tell us has done more good than harm. >> don't shoot. >> reporter: on the streets the people don't buy that narrative. oakland especially has seen a host for urban shield, its police department placed under federal oversight following a corruption scandal, among protesters the mothers of men killed by police. >> take your military tactic and get out of here. >> my son was cut up, the military weapon and when it goes through the body it tears and rips your skin up. my son was ripped up. >> reporter: on this day the

activists win. over the weekend the mayor announced that urban shield will not be held in the city next year. melissa chan, oakland, california. >> if you are a fan of the tech giant apple you probably know what today is the iphone 6 will be unveiled later with other products. and lines are outside of the flag ship store in new york as fans wait to get their hands on the shiny new model and analyst expect an iphone with a bigger screen and smart watch that could usher in a new era after wearable technology. apple may be popular but sur pussed in two of the world's biggest markets, china and india and the newcomers have domestic case with locally made phones and we will go to new deli in a moment but first here is our china correspondent in beijing. >> reporter: this may be apple's big day but in china it's a local brand that is making big roads.

just a year ago it had 5% of the market, today it has almost 14% so it has come a long way very quickly. it is very popular with young consumers, principally because of the price. it's a third cheaper than the i-phone selling for about $300 u.s. dollars and also from the chinese government's point of view it's a chinese brand. but analysts say it's also popular for other reasons. >> i think the innovative marketing is talking about success in china and user interface and user experience of local people. >> reporter: and they are hoping to expand to markets like russia, brazil, indonesia but it's not just china where local brands are taking on the big international names and winning, the same thing is happening in india as my colleague now reports. >> reporter: it's a race to the bottom of the economic pyramid and phone makers bring out

cheaper smartphones as low as $35 to intwice them to increase their hand sets and it's the third market following china and u.s. and the fastest growing. the great equalizing factors is google android operating system and it made cheaper phones able to compete with more expensive ones. >> translator: my phone has a video and mp 3 and facebook, all the things an expensive phone has. >> reporter: there are dozens of smartphone companies in india, both foreign and domestic with most competing for the lower end market since hundreds of millions of indians are expected to upgrade from basic hand sets to smartphones in the coming years. >> as you see there it's a big day in the tech world and still to come on al jazeera a date with destiny as the world's most expensive video game is released. and dismissal of an american footballer for punching his girlfriend triggers a nationwide

>> i'm ali velshi, the news has become this thing where you talk to experts about people, and al jazeera has really tried to talk to people, about their stories. we are not meant to be your first choice for entertainment. we are ment to be your first choice for the news. ♪

welcome back, a quick look at headlines in al jazeera, police opened fire on protesters to keep them from reaching the prime minister's office and 50 have been killed. iraq approved a new government and he has been under pressure to form an inclusive cabinet but two important roles have not been filled, the positions of interior and defense ministers. the united states and britain are sending medical equipment and personnel to contain the ebola virus spreading across west africa and suspected patients are turned away from the capitol monrovia because there is not enough bed space. nine days to go when scott land votes to break away from the u.n. and there are campaigns for and against independence are running neck and neck and british politicians are scrambling to keep the 300-year-old union from breaking

apart and they have greater autonomy if the referendum fails with greater tax and spending powers and more control of welfare benefits but britain would not let scott land use the pound if they win the vote and we go to lawrence lee live from our studios and how is it likely to impact on the overall vote do you think? >> well, that is absolutely the question. it is darren absolutely extraordinary what is happening in the country at the moment. i cannot remember and nobody here can remember anything like this really in our lifetimes because it is increasingly starting to look like scott land may break away from the uk and that would end centuries of shared history here because the polls have been 2-3 days and one on sunday and put the independence vote two points ahead and this morning puts them neck and neck but trajectory is in the momentum and in the no campaign and yes campaign favor

so as a consequence of that which is nine days to go the three main scottish parties have come together and said okay fine, you want more powers we will give you more powers and just so you know you can trust us, we will start the transition of those powers the day after you vote no to independence but you have to vote no. so that is what they are saying to them this late in the day and this is how it was presented to the people of the capitol of scott land earlier today. >> importance of the people of scott land is certainty there will be more powers. we had enough. we had enough of our commitments being rubbished who they themselves can not answer simple questions about the project and people's jobs. so the point is whatever happens i will fight with my being for the government but whatever happens we know the scottish department is an important

commitment from all of us. >> reporter: the trouble is even though you saw the three party leaders from the conservative and liberals and parties standing together they do not agree on the powers and what happens if they don't agree and this is a problem with the timeline they set up and big questions as well about if they would give the scotts particularly more powers they are demanding for the nationalist than they have at the moment so these things have already been derided and too little too late by the national list and a lie and a bribe and it is frankly a very open question whether at this point in time if any of it is going to change anybody's mind and if it doesn't i don't know what they do from here. >> a close call lawrence and to explain things to our global audience out there what would yes vote mean for uk and its place in the world? >> yeah, and it is a very important question because all through the month there has been no independence campaign saying this is the disaster in scott

land and cannot have the pound and what they avoided is talking about the damage it would do to themselves, which is very, very profound in all sorts of different ways, militarily they would lose the british army and makeup a high amount of the british army. the scottish nationalist and saying the uk would have to move the submarine fleet because they don't want it and it would take the uk years to do because there is no where appropriate and crucially and above all else on the world stage it would lose a four corners and it would just be smaller and i think would look and feel weaker to countries like possibly russia and china and those countries which over the course of a decade the uk told or decided what it should do in the interest of democracy and these countries would say, well, who are you exactly to talk to us and you cannot keep your country together.

and i think it would just in the end it would be a massive humiliation for the political class in westminster. >> thank you. a day of remembrance in the philippines for the victims of a siege, a year ago rebels tried to take control of the southern city, a 19-day battle ended with hundreds of deaths and displacement of more than 100,000 people and rob mcbride has this report. >> reporter: a special service here at the chapel the worst affected by the fighting here and later on today there will be a ceremonial passing over of homes, new homes to some people displaced by the fighting and also simultaneous ringing of church bells and as night falls on this day there will be a candle lit ceremony for peace and harmony for a part of the philippines who has seen little of either. outside city hall pledging

allegiance to the flag that armed separatist tried a year ago to replace with their own. for those who took part in the defense, letters of accommodation from the city's mayor. >> it's really a victory of our people that have really worked very hard to protect the philippine land but to protect lives as well. >> reporter: around town local and national media have been assessing the progress made since last year's siege. all around here are signs of reconstruction and renewal but look a little closer and you find the same old political tensions that led to last year's confrontation. the incoursian from the separatist group mnlf and a riebel group and political

maneuver ings may make the situation worse. and it adds to the complex tangle of threats. >> we have to address so many death groups here, and we have the roga element and kidnap, ransom groups and try to under mine security. >> reporter: and she knows all about those dangers, a year ago she and her five children were all held hostage by the fighters for several terrifying days. >> translator: every time there is an alert the children are still scared and they ask me what is going on. >> reporter: she feels it's safe enough to move back and rebuild but only because there are no soldiers standing at the corner of her street. as indeed they now stand guard in so many neighborhoods, still getting back to normal. it seems that troops the street will be a fact of life for the

foreseeable future. in manila this week lawmakers will start looking at the peace deal between the government and the mi lchl f, the very issue which provoked the attack by the rebel faction a year ago and developments are taking place at a national level which may eventually lead to a long-term solution of this simmering conflict or may provoke further clashes in this volatile and troubled past. an environmentist and three others have been murdered on the border of brazil and he had been fighting against illegal logical in the amazon for years and received death threat from loggers who stripped the river basins of hardwood. mexico city farmers and landowners demonstrating on a construction of a new airport and they came from the town where the president wants to put the new $9 billion airport. in palamar the president

don't they threaten to rape our daughters and they are animals. >> reporter: gang activity exploded in panama. since 2007 the number of gang members has quadrupled and most murders last year were connected to gangs. the president announced an amnesty program for those who turned in weapons in july and a thousand people participated and joined rehabilitation programs. this playground is in the middle of a battleground where gangs are fighting for territory and they live in the buildings that surround this football field and they have names like baghdad and vietnam 23, despite the government efforts to try to help people get out of gangs people here tell us that those efforts don't go far enough. tired of the violence these gang leaders turned in their weapons after committing crimes for years. everything from selling drugs to murder. but they are skeptical that the government understands the roots of the problem. >> translator: people grow up

watching family members get killed, that pain and resentment stays with you and you continue the cycle of violence. >> translator: if the government doesn't give us jobs this will never end, we need to keep young people busy and give them opportunities otherwise it will be chaos. >> reporter: as for him he has no sympathy for those who join the ranks of the gangs. he says only a heavy hand from the government will eradicate them for good. and only when that happens will he be able to run without looking over his shoulder. i'm with al jazeera, panama city. time for a short break and when we come back on al jazeera how two riders came to blows mid race during the tour of spain, more on that, stay with us. ♪

everybody can relate to. >> reporter: everybody in the gaming world and for them the height has been building for months and it comes behind the smash hit halo and the trailers look like movies and paul mccartney wrote the music and the price is the highest ever for a game. >> it's a huge risk and do not expect to make the money back just over the game and hope to have sequels over the next ten years. >> 3, 2, 1. [cheers] at a shopping center in sidney, the game debuted at midnight but before that was the count down, the cake, and the cue. >> get the game, go home and wake up and continue playing. >> waiting, trying to pass time doing other things and it's finally here and excited. >> waking up at 9:00 a.m. and thought today is the day. >> reporter: what makes this

game special fans say it blends the best of the first shoot them up like halo with character building like the world of war craft and it's set in a vast and ever changing online gaming space with players worldwide cooperating and competing. >> people don't have to come out at midnight to get the game but they are here to bond with the community, make friends and that is what you see with video games these days. >> reporter: some like to be around a community in lounges like this even as they play. it is though the community within the game that is most important for destiny. only when millions are playing simultaneously and is this destined to be the most successful game ever, al jazeera in sidney. destiny is reported to have cost makers $500 million. significantly more than the 2009 shooting game, call of duty war far two and cost $200 million

and twice the cost of grand theft auto five and released last year and cost $265 million and how does that compare to blockbuster filmed tangled cost $260 million and the most expensive film made was 2007 pirates of the caribbean at world's end and cost $300 million. the company needs to sell more than 15 million copies at $60 each to break even and predicted half the number will be sold. they say the company will hope to make the rest back once the game is established by selling sequels or expansions to the game. we will get more on this and talk to a writer who specializes in gaming and technology and is live from northern england via skype and let's talk first about the huge cost offenders any, half a billion dollars to produce and to mar market and that is molly wood blockbuster. >> behind the game is activision

and they have call of duty which is the leader in the first person shooter market and sky landers which is an incredibly successful kids game and you boy toys to play with the game and they know what they are doing building big franchises and i think while the company have the spending at $500 million on building destiny i think that figure is based around building the game up and obviously developing the game and obviously the cost of marketing a game and reaching the core demographic of young gamers which is what it will appeal to and building it out to a massive universe and the game is universe and you can visit birth and mars and going to the moon and building this out over years and this is not one single game and this is what games are these days, it's a game that will go on through expansions and sequels and cross media things so it's a very, very big
