6:16 am
salmond, the father of the cause. it was a shock. we spoke to a yes campaigner, he was up and deeply disappointed and worried about what will spear head the cause. we think nicholas sturgeon, and the baton would pass to her. there's relief for some people. an inyessedent that is prevalent is an experience. they were promised a timetable. they can't precisely agree on what will happen. we saw tension boiling over, frustration there, and we believe what happened is the yes supporters commize rated with one another, joined by no campaigners and unionist supporters who fired missiles and started to sing various songs. the people got involved. some on horse back. what happened is the yes
6:17 am
campaign years dissipated and it became something between the police and the unionists. it's been tainted as a separating rival groups. i don't think that that is the sort of division that we'll see replicated in any way. >> we know the political debate shifted to westminster. do people in scotland believe that westminster will deliver on the processes particularly as other regions pressed not to make a special case for scotland at their expense. >> i think people feel cynical as to what politicians are able to deliver. we have a campaign about real people, and we think real people's needs and the changing of the political system. pow has moved to west minister, and -- power has moved to westminster, and david cameron was speaking today and said there'll be a debate in parliament, in october.
6:18 am
he's the same man who in the run up to the referendum promised a timetable that was supposed to be published yesterday. we haven't seen hide nor hair of that. there's cynicism. things will be messy and complicated. what happened is that all parts of the u.k. are looking for a balanced settlement and to get there is not going to be an easy role. >> thank you. >> new zealand's prime minister john key is on term to win a third term in office. early indications suggest his center right national party is popular. vote counting is continuing. tropical storm fung wong forced more than 200,000 from their homes in the philippines. rains caused flooding, including in the capital manila.

6:21 am
got in terms of power. it looks a bit disorganised. what is interesting is how the pacific, how it's been so lively. there has been so many storms, and 12 hurricanes, of way eight have been majors, and contrast it with the atlantic and the caribbean region, where we've had four hurricanes, one major one at that, which is edwards, which has gone to the atlantic, and time for things to change. coming back to the storm now, polo, which has sustainment of 18 kph, it will go north and curve to the west out into the pacific. it will not be a major problem. rain will clip the far south of the baja california opinions christopher gibson. that rain continues to push into the pacific. i think across the region the flooding could be across
6:22 am
monterey and through to the coast around the gulf of mexico. significant flooding. we should see improvement. >> thank you. let's return to the top storey, the release of the turkish hostages. we go to fadi at chat am house in london. why do you think the hostages were released by i.s.i.l., where so many remaining in captivity have been killed. what is behind this, do you think? >> i think i.s.i.l. did not want to gain the enmity of turkey. it's a majority muslim country, many the anti-asaad groups are located in turkey. it would have been seen as a step too far. and had the i.s.i.l. not released the hostages, turkey may become a more willing partner with the anti-i.s.i.l. coalition being assembled by the united states. >> many countries don't negotiate with terrorists.
6:23 am
there seems to be back-channel activity. they were released unharmed, without a fuss. do you think a ransom was paid? >> the turkish government unofficially is denying ransom was paid. what president recep tayyip erdogan indicated is that negotiations were carried out by turkish national intelligence, and go between were approached to gain the release of those hostages. >> let me ask you - do you think this underlines the difference in strategy on how turkey deals with i.s.i.l., and how the u.k. and the u.s. say, they don't negotiate with terrorists, and their citizens are beheaded? >> yes. the united states used violence and carried out combat operations against i.s.i.l. in iraq, turkey displayed
6:24 am
reluctance, so the approach is different between the two, whereas the u.s. adapted a more confrontational approach and turkey conciliatory. >> you talk about that, turkey refused to let the air base be used for air strikes. now that the hostages will be used, do you think they'll change their mind? >> i think they'll be reluctant. cabled by the united states. turkey indicated that its territory and air space will not be used in combat operations by the united states and western powers in iraq, and in syria. in particular, in jer lick, an important air base in southern turkey. it will be used for logistical and humanitarian occupations. >> a final thought - we are
6:25 am
hearing that turkish officials say 45,000 syrian kurds entered turkey, fleeing the advance of i.s.i.l., do you think this underlines how rapped up turkey is in the conflict, whether it wants to or not. >> turkey now - in a way, one should look at the events in iraq, and in syria, not as turkish foreign policy, but as turkish domestic policy. it stairs a border with siria and iraq. and the events have spillover and blow back to turkey. >> thank you for your time. >> thank you. fast-growing wildfire in oregon sparked evacuation orders for hundreds of people. it's burning 50km west of portland, the state's largest city. a shelter has been set up at the local school for those forced to

6:27 am
suspicious. he gets the all clear and moves on. the patrols are part of a community policing project. it's part of an effort to close a big gap between the public and the police. >> at this community policing open house, it's held at a police station. locals learn how they can become involved in keeping areas safe and crime free. a key issue at the gathering, mentioned by everywhere, is the need to make the police force nugs that people trust. rather than something they fear. >> previously people would encounter the police, and they'd be afraid. they were frightened of security forces, because of corruption. now people want to get involved in community policing. >> as part of the project there's regular meetings between community members and the police. locals bring up individual
6:28 am
complaints and discuss larger issues, such as drugs and gambling. >> community policing created a bridge between us and the public, it means we are using more accurate information when investigating a crime. in some cases where the suspect is someone's brother that is the correct information. they are not allowed to attack or arrest anyone. they do enough, serving as the eyes and ears. time for another short break on the newshour, when we come back, we report from senegal. where vigilantes have been patrolling the border with ginee, sealed off to stop the spread of ebola. and a year after al-shabab fighters killed 67 in the westgate mall in nairobi. and the latest from the nlb.

6:33 am
will be visited during the next day and a half. >> do you think the sense of ignorance there is making the disease spread more quickly, making the people realise how dangerous the disease is? >> it's true. most people in communicatees experience ebola. they are talking about religious leaders, guidance. and still quite the number believing that ebola is not clear. and this caused [ inaudible ] to themselves and their family. denial and stigma are still... >> let me ask you. what do you expect to happen next in terms of the government and medical response? >> they need to be more workers, and isolation and treatment

6:35 am
the government closed its border with guinea and promised to step up patrols. we have seen no evidence of that. >> we are worried. the border is 300km long. they don't have enough police officers here. we rarely see them. and they never seem to be checking anyone. senegal had its first case of ebola after a gipian student with the -- guinean student with the disease crossed the border in a village taxi. it took 10 days for health authorities to find him. he was treated and has recovered. fear of ebola is spreading faster than the virus, causing changes in the way people interact with each other. >> there's a large community of guinean traders. the market is not like before. >> they don't say it to our face, but i know people are scared of coming here. we need to find a solution. vigilantes will not control
6:36 am
anything. it makes it worse for us. this is as close as this man and his forehands come to guineans. relations are strained. they believe it is the only way to keep senegal ebola free. sunday marks a year since al-shabab fighters lay siege to the westgate malin nairobi kenya, killing 67 people. since then several other attacks rocked the country. katherine sawyer reports in nairobi about the growing security threat. >> the bullet entered from this point, and went into the brains. >> reporter: the same bullet that launched dangerously in this man's head killed his mother as she tried to protect him. it was in march, a few months after the westgate mall siege, when armed gunman attacked people in this stretch, randomly shooting at them. six were murdered.
