reached on agreement to cease the current crisis. it will form a natural document. pushing for a protest in a peaceful exchange. >> the houthis say the deed will be signed within hours. >> there is a good consensus and agreement. we hope there'll be a signing of a deal in coming hours. there was exaggeration and many reports. our protesters were targeted, our people had to resort to self-defence. >> over the last few days, we witnessed some of the worst fighting in years. smoke rises from the compound as part of the building burnt before houthi fighters controlled the nation's broadcaster. it's a site that the houthis have their eyes on as they pushed deeper into the capital

and tried to topple the government the the houthi offensive began in the hills. since friday, the houthis tried to advance from forth to south. on saturday. heavy artillery continued. >> thousands of supporters marched in the streets, demanding the resisting nation of the government. >> several attempts to find a peaceful settlement failed. houthis are demanding to perform a more inclusive government. >> the goal is to sees power and rule yemen. it's another arab string country where, from dictatorship to

democracy is uncertainly. >> the government bet op leniency. >> critics are accusing it of ipp competence in the face of armed groups. >> the political stalemate in afghanistan is resolved. the country has been without precedent in april and june. the two rivals are expected to sign a power sharing agreement in the next 30 minutes or so. >> let's talk to jennifer glass. >> this deal comes after months of political stail mates. talk us through how it will work? >> the political deal spells out the roles and responsibilities of the two men in charge of afghanistan. it creates the new role of chief executive. that's what the runner up will get. and it reeates a council of

ministers. it looks like the two candidates agree that some will get - some ministries will appoint some ministers, and some appoint other minister. the as ashraf ghani said, it's not a winner take all proposition. both will receive a substantial power in the government, and they will work together to move afghanistan forward after months of political stalemate. >> the question is are they really going to put aside their past differences. and also given the tribal nature of afghanistan. there are challenges ahead for the unity government. >> that's right. it's a big concern, is the unity government feasible. can the men work together. will the supporters work together. agreements will come close and fail before. the stalemate paralyzed the economy. it has to be rebuilt. one of the first roles is to sign a security agreement. the first 100 days of government

coincides with the last month of the n.a.t.o. mission. n.a.t.o. wants to stay and keep forces in a train and equip role as does the united states. there'll have to be an agreement in pleas. really afghanistan can't afterward the paralysis. the economy is in terrible shape, and afghans want to see a government that can move things forward. >> what is happening with the recount election results. when are we expecting those to be released? >> we are expecting those later this afternoon. that is what the election commission spokesman said on saturday. it would happen this afternoon, in the next few hours much the question is what the announcement would be. we know abdullah abdullah asked that no numbers be announced. simply the winner. the two men have been at ads,

forcing a united nations led recount and review. that has taken two months. we are expecting the results of that. the question is will there be numbers of votes or just a winner? >> jennifer glasse in kabul. thank you. >> about 60,000 kurdish refugees from syria crossed into turkey in a day. they are trying to escape an advance by fighters in i.s.i.l., islamic state of iraq and levant. they have been massing onned boarder since thursday as fighters seized dozens of villages in a lightening offensive. >> al jazeera continues to demand the release of three of its journalists imprisoned in egypt. peter greste, mohamed fadel fahmy and baher mohamed have now been detained for 267 days. they are falsely accused of aiding the outlawed muslim brotherhood. in his first interview with foreign media. egyptian president abdul fatah al-sisi had this to say about their continued imprisonment.

>> translation: i have said this before, if i had been responsible at the time, it would not have gone this far. i would have deported them, but now the case is in the hands of the judiciary system. >> flooding devastated pakistan's punjab province, and the vast agricultural industry. the reason is it's the bread basket of the country. we have more from southern punjab. >> it's a terrible year to own a cotton factory. first came the rain, heavy and out of each. it knocked the plants around, damning the quality of the cotton. then the bloods hit, working away a third of the crop, and taking with it, 40% of the business's profits. >> because of the damage we are getting less raw material. the flood is costing us a fortune. the factory is barely running

12 hours a day. we don't have enough cotton. >> from the air, you can see the extent of the damage. farms, factories and villages, when the government diverted water to rural areas to protect cities. around 7,000 square kilometres of agricultural land is under water. everything from fruit and vegetables to rice and sugar. prices are going up. the worry is there won't be enough blask supplies to feed people. >> this farmer, who is a lawyer and politician, says the cost of some food items has doubled, and even tripled. >> from the farms to the market, the food stuffs are not coming. the crops are destroyed. so this will have a demand and supply impact. in the short run, 3-6 months. we feel there'll be a 20-25% inflation in the food basket. >> for farmers, it's a

catastrophe. they have nothing. no crops, no home. they are living on irrigation dykes, waiting for the water to recede. >> the landlord assess it's the worst flood he has ever seen. >> translation: poor labourers are in crisis, their families are in crisis, we have a huge compensation package from the government, and then we can rebuild the houses and the structure. if the government doesn't help, we'll live hand to mouth. >> across the province, the flood turned farms into leaks. for many, there's nothing they can do, except see if there's anything worth catching. lots more to come. we'll hear from the ukranian foreign americans as the government and pro-russian rebels finalise a ceasefire

deal. plus... >> i'm andrew thomas in fiji. a country celebrating the release of 45 of its soldiers in syria. why does fiji contribute so many of the soldiers to piece keeping missions around the world? at the real issues facing american teens. the incredible journey continues... on the edge of eighteen only on all jazeera america @j

welcome back. @j a reminder of the top stories on al jazeera. there are reports of more fighting in yemen's capital. despite a peace deal reached on saturday. a rebel advanced killed dozens this week. >> two rival presidential

candidates in afghanistan are about to sign a power sharing agreement. ashraf ghani will become the president. and abdullah abdullah the chief executive. >> now, exactly a year ago al-shabab fighters attacked a hi high-end shopping mall in nairobi much. 67 died. questions remain about what happened, and the incident raised concerns about the security situation? kenya. >> let's go to kathryn sawyer. this is a terrible event that shook kenya. one year on, how are people coming to terms with it? >> let me start by first telling you that right now kenya is on a high terror alert. the inspector general of police yesterday, saturday, warned people here to be very vigilant, especially this week, and next week. i did speak to several

survivors, and those who lost their loved ones, and they are trying to come to terms with what happened on that day last year. there's a lot of questions that remain unanswered. there's - police have been heavily criticized for how they handled the whole situation. they seem to be coordinated. there appeared to be a fallout between the press and the military. a lot of police say if there was more coordination, more lives could have been saved, and today is a day where they remember not just chose who died, but the resilience was there, and the brave people. here is a story we did. >> reporter: and was as traumatic as it was lethal. by the end of a four day siege at the westgate mall, there was death, injuries, destruction. the mall still stood, but inside it was in ruins.

a year later, rachel is timely about to get a new prosthetic foot. this was what a hand grenade did to her right leg. >> i'm recovering day by day, it has not been easy since i lost my husband, 2012. it was on november 9th, after the 14 days of our marriage. >> at the mall's rooftop, a cooking show was going on when the attackers arrived. most who died here were women and children. it was an open space, there was nowhere to hide. >> this man lost his mother. they were at the cooling show. at this exhibition to mark the anniversary he's trying to understand why they had to die, and has doubts about the faith of those that murdered them. >> i don't think so. i believe - i feel in my mind that i don't think the guys - they came to die. they killed or not killed.

>> the police say that the me were killed, but government information about the siege has always been contradictory and scanty at best. >> survivors, and those who lost their loved ones at the westgate mall are struggling to find closure. a year on, there's no official lent of what happened. what people know is what they've been able to piece toot by footage from surveillance cameras, and conspiracy theories. there appeared to be a fallout between the police and military during the investigation. in this era of terrorism, analysts say security cannot afford to slip up. >> the issue of terrorism is a new phenomena. so i think they can - they must have a programme why they are going to uplift or build.

the truth about what really happened inside the mall in those four days may never be known. for now, survivors, some of whom waited for hours to get help, in what was a death trap, and those that lost people they loved want to remember and honour the dead, and hope that their names will never be forgotten. >> darren, let me tell you, four people are on trial in connection to this attack. they are said to have communicated with a gunman at some point. we know that the leader of al-shabab was recently killed in a u.s. drone attack. this building behind me, west gate, is closed. it's undergoing a renovation. today, really, a year on, there's many - several private

events that have been organised for people to remember, not just those that died, but the brave people who saved thousands of people, but to remember how this tragedy united kenya. people were united in a way not seen in a long time. it did not matter, the race, the tribe or the political affiliation. everyone got together in the face of this tragedy, that caused so much suffering. >> katherine sawyer in nairobi. >> let's return to the top story. reports of violence in yemen as a u.n.-backed peace deal is ready to be sign offed. we talk to peterson salisbury, a political analyst. how authentic is the latest agreement that is reached between both sides. will it stop the deadly violence that could have seen the capital fall? >> sure.

thanks for having me. the deal that's on the table at the moment has been under negotiation for the about thor part of a month now. what we have got to is a point where both sides agree that they are happy with the terms and are willing to sign. the question is whether there's will op either sides to sign the deal today. no time has been set for the signing ceremony, last night we heard probably the heaviest clashes, fighting, shelling since the houthis entered the capital, and the germ belief is that this has been a stalling tactic, and if a deal is signed, it will be broken, and fighting will continue. >> the devil is in the detail. the houthis demand substantial political and economic reforms. what concessions is the government prepared to make? >> the government said it's willing to resolve the current transitional government and

replace it with what the houthis see as a representative body. there has been discussions between the two about the degree of houthi participation. they said they'll reduce the fuel press. a week and a half ago it was reduced by 13% much the houthis push for 12.5 or so to bring it down to 3,000 riyals, for about 20 litres of fuel. at the same time the government promised to work on following up on agreements made during a series of peace talks that ended in january, in which the houthis participated. but one and the same time the deal calls for the hewitt yes to withdraw from the -- houthis to withdraw from the capital and from amran to the north of sanaa and the south of sarder, the houthi heartland and withdraw fighters from those areas. given the degree of control over considerable land in the north

of yemen, it's difficult to believe they'll stick to that. >> let me ask you a question about the bigger picture. how are regional players like saudi arabia and iran looking at event in yemen. iran is accused of backing the houthis, will saudi arabia be relieved that a deal has been, in principal, reached? >> again, i don't think there's a believe that if a deal is signed, that it will have a real significance. maybe in two or three weeks time if we see the houthis withdraw from the capital, we see the government installed, so on and so forth. what we see is the fighting in the north. a series of peace deals. between the government and tribal militias and the houthis signed and broken with recriminations on both sides. from the perspective of saudi arabia, i don't think a deal will make a shot of difference.

they'll be worried about the stability of the country, and the fact that they have a shia movement on the march to the south of their border. >> peterson salisbury, thank you. the ukranian government and pro-russian rebels finalised terms to a ceasefire. it comes as ukranian forces and pro-russian separatists exchange 40 prisoners. international observers monitored the swap, which formed part of the 9 point memorandum. the truce will come into effect on sunday. ukraine's foreign minister pavlo klimkin speak to us about the importance of maintaining the ceasefire. >> we have to get back law and order to the people of donetsk and luhansk. they are absolutely fed up on the developments of killing people, taking hostages. can you imagine thousands, not just hundreds, but thousands of

hostages as a result of this conflict. >> it's not just about amnesty, it's terminologiy used. it's freeing from criminal responsibility. only those who have not committed capital crimes. >> investigators at a crash of an airalgeary plane are no closer to identifying the cause. 116 on board were killed. half the dead were french. >> now, earlier in month 45 u.n. peacekeepers were released after being kidnapped and held for two weeks in syria. the troops were captured on the syrian side of the golan heights by the al qaeda side of the al nusra front. we spoke to suva about why it provide more soldiers per capita

than any other country. >> this woman was talked on skype with her husband when he stood up. >> he said, "something happened, i need you to be strong." >> he and 44 other peacekeepers had been kidnapped by members of the al nusra front. they were held for two weeks before she got another call. all 45 were released. her husband lost weight. he was free. >> i shouted, and i cried and the tears came out. the neighbours were coming to my house. they thought something bad had happened. when i told them the good news, that he was released, my shout was lower than theirs. >> reporter: a thanksgiving service in suva included many soldiers who returned from similar missions.

at any one time fiji has between 10-20% of soldiers working as piece keepers. for fiji, the quantity of piece keepers is part of it. >> in two areas we went, because no one else wanted to go. there was a gap that needed to be filled. for us to have a voice we continued to participate on peacekeeping operations. >> for individual soldiers, there are incentives too. these in fiji are helping to build a school, but all have taken part in u.n. missions in the past and will again. the main motivation is financial, with allowances from the united nations on top of their salaries. fijian soldiers can make more peace keeping abroad than home. >> if you are in fiji on a normal salary, if you go for a

mission, it's double. >> for fiji the rewards are considerable. the united nations gives contributing countries $1,000 per soldier per month and pays for their equipment and vehicles. for a small island nation, it's a tradeoff. money, prestige and influence for men. >> manila is cleaning up after 200,000 filipinos were forced from their home. a tropical storm turned roads into rivers. at least five were killed, the equivalent of half a month's rain fell in six hours. the weather hit several hundred thousands people, and is heading to taiwan. >> pope francis arrived in albania for his first european trip. he is in the capital where he'll meet the president.

air france pilots voted to extend their strike for another week. they are opposed to the airline's push to develop a low-class subsidy which they fear will undermine their jobs. nearly half of all flights were cancelled on saturday. scenes of destruction during the israel offensive on gaza have been turned to images. she hopes to bring attention to the plight of her people. here is her story. >> i am bushrah. i'm a 25-year-old graphics designer. as a palestinian, a human and an arab, i cannot be an obviouser to destruction. especially if that's my homeland and people. this requires me to resist. it is not done by military means, but culture.

before working on the pieces, he was helpless. i couldn't do anything. i felt that something was speaking to me. i felt hope and empower. . >> anyone who stirs up the sky sees shapes in the clouds. you look at the smoke resulting from the air strikes and you see shapes. this is not about me, it's the story of those killed. each takes time. i contemplate a lot. i think of something new and tell a different story. i think about it for a day. it takes me a while to develop pictures. the piece i like most is mortars ascending. it was my first and affected me a lot. the scenes on tv at the time were of killed children. another favourite is the mother and child. the smoke and the pictures were 100% identical. you won't believe it. my message is to show the world what is happening, and hope they

convoy is correctly. >> you, amazing pictures from spain. gary hunt has been crowned world champion with one ech left in the competition, his jump in the bridge gave him enough points for a fourth world tight in just six years: [ cheering and applause ]
