enough oil to fuel the nationalist dream, and what happens when it all runs out. francis hollande says the world must not waste time in coming together to defeat the islamic state group, or i.s.i.l. foreign ministers from around 30 counties are meeting in paris to decide how best to push i.s.i.l. out of large areas of iraq or syria, which are under its control. >> translation: the struggle of the iraqi people against the terrorists is our struggle as well. we have to act together. this is the purpose of the conference. we have to stand by the iraqi authorities, there's not a moment to be lost. we have to do everything to prevent the in doctrination of our youth, to prevent them being enrolled, break up recruitment and punish all those thinked to

it. >> that's french president francis hollande. imran khan is standing by, but first to nadeem barber in paris. both presidents really just laying out the stage for what happened in the coming hours. >> that's right. they've been at pains to stress that this is not just a military response to trying to tackle the group that calls itself islamic state in iraq, but also furthering their humanitarian efforts, helping the iraqi authorities, and stressing that now that iraq has a national unity government representing all sectors of society, they are coming on board, bringing more and more arab states to pledge money, perhaps to pledge intelligence supports for the u.s. air strikes, and we are hearing from john kerry, the

u.s. secretary of state, participation in future air strikes, although we don't know which those states are for the moment. >> do you think - it's only been going on for a matter of hours - do you think we'll find out at the end of it who will do what? >> nick, i think it's unlikely that the names of the states will come out, linked to x, y or z action. john kerry has hinted, rather, that he will tell the world which arab states are going to be prepared to take part in military action at the end of this week, when he speaks to congress. we do know that european union countries are having a lively debate amongst themselves as to how far they are prepared to go. germany ruled out any participation in air strikes. france and britain sent the message yes, we will, if the conditions are right, if there's strong intelligence.

they are worried about civilian casualties. they are signed up, as are some gulf arab states, we are led to believe. they are not named, and we don't expect them to be named on monday. really, what is crucially happening here in paris over the nest knew hours is behind closed doors, more and more discussion as to who will fund which operations. >> nadeem, thank you, nadeem barber in paris. now to background and to imran khan. both presidents were stressing the importance of regional involvement in this. >> that's absolutely right. this whole conference has been welcomed here in baghdad officially, even before the press conference began. the foreign minister minister of iraq sent out a statement saying he welcomed everything that was going on. i.s. didn't start in iraq, but they were an iraqi problem, and the world needed to take notice.

that is what is happening. officially this has been welcomed. there are fears from government sources, particularly civilians. they are worried about the air strikes, particularly in places like mosul, that it may result in high numbers of civilian casualties, and that is an issue for keeping momentum and support goi going, buts there are concerns from the opposition politicians, the sunnis in particular, saying it's fine getting the global regional cooperation, but we'd like to see cooperation between shias, sunnis and the kurds, without getting outreach work to the sunnis, particularly the rebels involved in the fight. this could amount to nothing. there's concern, and concern from shia politicians that iran has been frozen out of the process, clearly involved here in iraq, and close to the iraqi

government. they have not been invited to the paris conference. there are all of those concerns. officially it has been welcomed, and something that the iraqis hope will supply them with intelligence gathering, and, (b) to support the iraqi army. both emphasising there's a need to focus on the military aspect and the humanitarian leads on the ground. >> that's absolutely right. what they are looking for is a sheer amount of refugees, fleeing from syria. i've been told by one lawmakers that we can talk about humanitarian aspects, and the military aspects, that there needs to be a political solution sorting everything out. the root causes about i.s. has not been addressed. that's a concern as well. >> imran khan in baghdad.

senior united nations officials warning of a humanitarian crisis in iraq. valerie amos says half do not have proper accommodation. she says many live in open fields, abandoned buildings and schools. >> iraq faces a serious humanitarian crisis, with up to 1.8 milli 1.8 million iraqis displaced since jan, many living with families and communities. the influx create a shelter crisis with more than half the families sheltering in parks and other open areas from the sides of highway, in unfinished buildings, in religious buildings and in schools. with more than 650 schools in the government, hosting i.d.p.s, thousands of kurdish schoolchildren did not start school on 10 september as scheduled. winter is approaching.

since a conflict in april. in sweden, the leader of the social democrats declared victory in the parliamentary election. stefan lofven and his coalition have not won enough seats to form a government. we have this report. >> victory for sweden's paigs, led by the social democrats, and their partners, the green party and the leftists. social democrat leader stefan lofven will lead the largest party in parliament, but will have a hard job creating a new coalition, his bloc has no clear majority. the party's promised to spend more on public services attracted many. >> people are dissatisfied with the way that the old coalition treated people in this society. the unemployed, the sick people, and schools, health care and the elderly and those things.

that's why they i don't for a new government. >> so end eight years of policy, and the rule. he conceded defeat, and announced plans to hand over leadership of his party. >> we did not get far much. the coalition has more seats in the parliament, than the center right alliancement we will keep our promise. we will hand in the government's resignation. >> reporter: it confirms commitment to the welfare state. for the last eight years they had tax cuts and rising living standards. they have been suspicious about the privatisation of public services, especially education and health care. this vote says they've had enough. it was a good night for the right wing democrats. they tried to go mainstream and campaign for a 90% cut in the migration. they doubled their vote and will

be the third-largest party in parliament. none of the main parties say they'll work with them. the swedes will turn back, and the possibility of higher taxes to pay for it. at the same time, a surprising number voted for a radical party that wants to end sweden's reputation as a safe haven for not having war. a boat carrying 250 african immigrants sunk in the mediterranean sea, happening off the libyan coast. 26 people have been rescued. a libyan navy spokesman fears many have drowned. reporting from tripoli, it is said libya and others blame each other for the tragedy. >> human traffickers use a desire of other nationalities, they put them in a poorly

welcome back. the top stories in al jazeera. the french president francis hollande says the world must not waste time in coming together. foreign ministers are meeting in paris to decide how best to push i.s.i.l. out of large areas of iraq and syria, which is under its control. a senior u.n. official warns of a humanitarian crisis in iraq. valerie amos says with winter approaching half of the 1.8 million iraqis do not have appropriate accommodation. sweden's social democrats beat the right. they did not win enough seats to form a majority government. france is a nation which is willing to participate in military action against i.s.i.l. that means that it may fight an enemy, including hundreds of

french nationals in its ranks. jackie roland reports from paris. >> a french navy fridayingate acrossing the mediterranean. france has deployed a full range of capabilities, including an aircraft carrier, making it an important partner against the islamic state group. >> francis hollande was in iraq on friday, underlining his commitment to defeating the group. france is providing weapons to the kurdish peshmerga, and says it is willing, if necessary, to take part in air strikes. >> translation: we stand by you on the humanitarian level and the security level. you are facing an energy which does not recognise borders. this enemy is a terrorist group that has formed extensions on the ground. >> the french military is heavily engaged in africa. more than 5,000 troops are involved in counterterrorism and

peacekeeping operations in several former colonies. france noknows the battle again the islamic state could last for years. france has been here before. a year ago it was poised to carry out air strikes against the bashar al-assad, but the united states had a change of heart, it never happened. france believes a failure to act then is a reason why the situation in the region is so bad today. france believes that hundreds of citizens have enrolled, people like this man, mehdi nemmouche who killed four people in a belgium museum, and he may have been involved in hostage taking. >> translation: hundreds of thousands of westerners waged jihad. some could come back and become

another mehdi nemmouche. individuals we will not be able to identify. what worries me is the extreme radicalization of the young men. nonintervention carries risk. at the end of july, the french navy sent two ships to libya, to evacuate french and british citizens, military intervention brings down the muammar gaddafi regime, and led to instability. to ghana, a palestinian father will no longer take his paralyzed son to israel, after his other son was killed during the strikes on gaza. charles stratford has this report. >> reporter: akmed helps his son out of bed. 8-year-old ofman suffered brain damage as a baby, after being inokayulated by a palestinian

doctor against tuberculosis. he has the permit from israel allowing him to take ofman to tel aviv for treatment and tests. before the war, they'd travel across the border every few months. on july the 30th, a tank shell hit the family home, killing his 16-year-old brother ali. >> translation: ali and i used to take care of ofman together. ali used to take ofman out for fresh air, and carry him to the bathroom. when ofman was tired or sick, ali took him to the hospital. he used to buy his medicine. whenever i look at ofman i think of ali. >> reporter: the tank shell came through the ceiling into this room. it killed ali, who was in the corner, immediately. his brother ofman was next to him. the attack pushed the father to make one of the most important decision of his life. family and friends organised the

protest. akmed decided he can no longer take ofman to israel for treatment. >> translation: israel offered to treat my son, in a month, or two years time, they'll fire rockets to kill him. this is your invitation, it does not mean anything for me, for this reason, i repeat. >> reporter: akmed says the medical establishment should have done more to protest the killing of children in gaza. more than 500 children were killed during the war. israel says they targeted hamas terrorists. >> translation: while israeli hospitals receive palestinian children patients for treatment, the military killed palestinian kids. israeli doctors were not rejecting actions. it's confusing that at the same

time the israeli army are killing palestinian children, israeli doctors are treating some of them. >> reporter: akmed continues to fight for justice in court, wanting those responsible for supplying the drug that damaged his son to be held accountable. despite the difficulties faced, he doesn't want help from israel. one man's stand against the killing of chin -- children and gaza. aides patients are forced to seek care in hospital after a center was stripped of its powers after allegations of abuse. >> reporter: in a wooded valley east of seoul is a nursing home, providing rural accommodation for the elderly and long-term care to the sick. unknown to the patients and nonmedical staff.

25 members are suffering aids. there used to be more. it was stripped of its status of a single government-prepared center for long-term aids care after allegations of physical and sexual abuse. some patients have been rehoused in general hospitals. 25 remain in the facility deemed unfit to look after them, their care paid for by a government subsidy. >> translation: if they don't accept us here any more, the only option is to go home. >> reporter: an inspection report by the center for disease control cited a lack of medical expertise, and training. shared by a former resident that didn't want to be identified. >> when you are sick, the only medicine is pain-killers, tranquilizers and sleeping pills. after 9:00pm, everyone sleeps. it's like a prison. >> initially it hired caregivers not for their experience, but on the basis that they, too, had

aids. the government recommendation designed to ease tensions. >> translation: all caregivers creating problems are fired and replaced. when there were problems, we tried our best to solve them through discussions with the c.d.c., but the rumours were exaggerated. >> the problem is a systematic one, he was the only one of south korea's nursing home to accept people with aides, and they should be able to accept care like sufferers from other disease. that is a point of common ground against activists who catalogue their complaints. >> it's serious that there is not a single nursing hospital in south korea that will accept aids patients when there's 1,300 nursing hospitals across the country. the situation requires south korea to revisit the aides policy. the center for disease control says it is doing that and is talks for a successor.

staff say the patients need the accommodation so families can visit them without admitting to the nature of their illness. >> that's cause for concern in the allegations against the institution and in some information it has given us in its defense. widely, this situation lays bear the inadequacy of long-term care for aids patients, and the prejudice at its heart. almost 150,000 people are stranded after severe flooding in india-administered kashmir. authorities are working to stop the spread of water-borne illnesses and destroying the highway linking kashmir to india. flooding displaced or affected 2 million people. venezuela opposition supporters have been protesting in the capital. their leader remains in gaol, accused of inciting violence against the president nicolas maduro. the u.s. state department

criticized his imprisonment. >> reporter: supporters of leopoldo lopez protest outside a courtroom, his cut-out effigy serving as a reminder of how isolated he is from his movement. lawyers petitioned for a case to be nullified. >> translation: the process is unconstitutional. we demand that the supreme court put order into this. >> reporter: leopoldo lopez is facing charges, including instigation of violence and criminal conspiracy after a spread protest resulted in deaths. he turned himself into authorities, saying he had nothing to hide. what happens inside the courtroom doesn't affect the opposition's resolve. students, who are detained alongside leopoldo lopez and released say they are waiting for word to once again take to the streets. >> the plaza where the protest

that led to leopoldo lopez detention took place, looks different today. martinez, gaoled for two months for participating in the protests says he's ready to do it again. >> we have not received word on the plans. leaders have been quiet. quiet, but according to them, busy making plans. this is one of the leaders of the student opposition. >> what is next is offensive from the street, one is that it better than what is faced today. >> the government said it would not tolerate protests, and is trying to drive that point home. hurricane odeal made land on the peninsula. the u.s. national hurricane service reports winds of 95kph are. one of the worst recorded storms.

tens of thousands of tourists and residence are in emergency shelters. >> a referendum on scotland's independence is three days away. politicians are campaigning hard to win over voters. at the heart of the independence debate, who controls north sea oil. lawrence lee reports from the energy capital. >> reporter: the granite city they call aberdeen, and on the east coast it's often bitterly cold and unremittingly grey. this place has been basketing in the economic sunshine for years that oil has provided. kenny runs a successful construction company, but supports independence from the u.k., because he thinks so much of the profit has been wasted by london. >> oil was discovered in the late 1960s, when i was a teenager, and ever since i was a teenager they said it was running out. it stifled opportunitiesies, we

could have had have strongery, had infrastructure, investment and encouragement from the u.k. treasury been stronger. >> reporter: the two sides in the debate agree that scotland could survive as an independent country. oil, energy and scotland's future income is a source of furious debate. it's been absolutely central to the argument of the scottish national party, but the seas are full of oil, and the profits from scottish oil should go to scotland, and not london. yet the unionists insist, as they have for many years, that the optimistic forecasts is a lie, and the oil is running out. it's a metaphor for a big question that scotland faces - is this country, as the unionists say poor, or as the nationalists insist, quite rich? >> one day the oil will run out. that much is certain. its replacements could be every

bit as lucrative. this stretch of the water in the far north will create the world's biggest tidal scheme. there are other large renewable projects throughout. after all, a windy country, surrounded by crashing seas looks profitable indeed. >> we could be seeing tens of thousands more people employed in the fields, and much more development of these resources. so i think it's a case of the level - dependent on the level of our ambitions. many in scottish business insist nationalist claims of huge wealth are an illusion. . >> no nuke lawyer weapons, expanded nhs, continued pensions expanded child care, you name it, you can have it, we can't promise long hot summers and white christmases. >> the national slogan is yes we

can, for the unionists, no, we can't. it's about who the voters believe. three days and counting to that referendum. more on that and indeed everything else we cover including the conference taking place in paris on the website aljazeera.com. >> i'm in africa where a project is set to start. >> in
