idea. the piece i like most is more areas ascending. it was my first and affected me a lot. the seconds on tv is those of killed children. another favourite is the mother and child. spoke and pictures were 100% identical. you will not believe it. my message is to show the world what is really happening. >> aljazeera.com is where you'll get the headlines. sharing the power - rival presidential candidates strike a deal in afghanistan, ending a tense election with accusations of fraud. and a second security scare at the white house. now, this one comes after one day after another man makes it all the way inside with a knife. plus, pope francis travels

all the way to albapia. >> i'm dannial lack in toronto. home to the first museum of art from the muslim world. good morning, thank you for joining us on al jazeera america, live from new york city. i'm morgan radford. a 5-month dispute obvious afghanistan's presidency timely comes to an end. overnight the two rivals signed off on a power-sharing deal, one creating a unity government with the winner named as president. the runner-up shares power in a newly created job as chief executive. for more we turn to jennifer glasse. live from kabul. how did the deal come together? >> morgan, it was a long-hammered out deal taking weeks of negotiations. this is the agreement, four pages long, and has an english translation. the whole idea is that it spells out who does what in the new government. the role of chief executive is a

new role, created by a presidential decree after inauguration. the chief executive will have two deputy chief executives, and there'll belongs -- there'll be a longs christopher gibson. the men will name ministers and governors, and chair a couple of ministers and cabinet. a true power sharing agreement, taking months. the run off election, the presidential run-off election was in june. kav gaps will be waiting to find out who will be the new president. >> i have been catching this. you meptioned the last three weeks, the intensity of the work. in the past. they collapsed at the last moment. was there fear that that would happen again here? >> i think this was a lot of concern. when we heard last night the

agreement was initialled by members of ashraf ghani and abdullah abdullah's team and supposed to be signed at the presidential palace. everyone had their fingers crossed waiting and watching to see if the two men would sign the deal. they signed the deal in the presence of the outgoing presence of president hamid karzai, who made it clear his government was not involved in the content. the two men that signed the deal will be responsible for implementing the agreement. it's a new-type of government. very much up in the air. how quickly it will move forward and how well the former rivals will work together. >> you mentioned how quickly it happened. do we know when the inauguration will be? >> well, i think there's hope na the inauguration will happen next week. all the details being worked out. we are waiting for the official election results, and we were upsetting those by now. the election commission called

the journalists in later this evening, so hopefully there'll be official results, even though the unity deal is down, we don't have a president. election results have to be made public. the real question is the gorm at. abdullah abdullah -- form at. abdullah abdullah wanted a winner and a runner-up, whether the numbers will be announced we are not sure what the election commission will do. but you need a new president before having an inauguration. >> jennifer glasse, a pleasure to have you with us. this deal will put an end to pondeds of violence and uncertainty in afghanistan. preliminary results in july put ashraf ghani ahead, but abdullah abdullah supporters questioned the tally saying there was massive fraud. the dispute led to an increase in violent attacks. supporters were from the ethnic tajic and haz ra communities. ghani is supported by the

pashtuns, the largest group. both pledged to accept the results and form a unity government in the process. a third day of clashes in yemen between houthi rebels and government forces. four were killed in sanaa, the capital. fighting continues as both sides agreed to a u.n.-led peace deal. many are fleeing as the violence conditions. >> the u.n. brokered deal holds a promise of peace. many worry that it will not last. in the fighting between the shia rebels, and government forces - it will not inspire confidence. it comes less than 24 hours after the united nations announced a breakthrough in the peace process. >> translation: after intense consultations with all political party, we reached an agreement to soef the current crisis, based on results of dialogue. we are making preparations for

signing. this agreement will form a national document pushing for the process of peaceful change, and strengthen national processes and stability of the country. >> the houthis said the deal would be signed quickly. >> translation: there's a good consensus and agreement on most points. there's exaggeration and many reports. protesters were farted, and the state has not done anything, so people had to resort to self-defence. >> reporter: over the last few days sanaa witnessed some of the worst fighting with clashes around the state television station and other government buildings. the houthi offensive started from a stronghold in the north. from there they surged south, taking a string of important cities, before reaching the capital. in sanaa the supporters joined mass demonstrations demanding an

inclusive government, and cuts to fuel prices. some observers say the real goal of the group is to cease power and rule yemen with the backing of iran. a peace deal may have been agreed to, but will it hold? at least two are dead and six injured after a bomb explodes in egypt. the blast happened on a busy sidewalk in central cairo. there are reports that two of the dead, one is a police officer, and the other a senior official, happening near egypt's foreign ministry. we'll bring you more details as they become available. >> there's an exodus taking place. in the past two days, more than 60,000 kurdish syrians crossed into turkey in an attempt to save themselves from i.s.i.l. in response turkey opened a

stretch of the frontier to allow them in gearing an attack. i.s.i.l. has been advancing into northern syria killing 11 kurds in one village. there has been more clashes on the syrian border today. they fired op syrian kurds who were trying to cross the border. syrian forces were trying to maintain order. and many threw stones in frustration. multiple development out of iran, and for a response let's turn to randall pinkston. good morning to you. the u.s. military says it's carried out five air strikes on i.s.i.l. targets since friday. what do we know about the strikes, and how effective were they? >> well, according to the department of defense, they were very offensive. one of those strikes took out a ferry boat on the euphrates river, attempting to deliver

supplies. there were strikes against outposts, guard posts in several locations. so this is a continuation of american air tricks in support of iraqi forces on the ground. 183 air tricks carried out by the u.s. and the french are joining in with air strikes against i.s.i.l., continuing their participation in the growing coalition. all this happened. we saw a large protest against the air strikes in iraq, by iraqis who were supporters of a shia cleric. how much influence does it have on the iraqi people. >> the cleric we are talking about is al-sadr. he has a lot of influence, and asks for the demonstration to process the incursion or the involved of american ground forces. president obama saying it will be no american combat groups.

they are telling the followers to make sure it doesn't happen, there's a shi'ite cleric. he did not call for the demonstration. iraq needs assistance, but he is calling for unity among all of the iraqi groups, including shia and sunni to take on the islamic state, the i.s.i.l. fighters. you have two clerics, both influential. one taking a bit more anti-american position than the others. both opposed to america's return to iraq. >> when it comes to the largest regional influences. we heard secretary of state john kerry say that iraq could be removed in the fight against i.s.i.l., and the egyptian president is offering support. let's listen to what he had to say. >> translation: more than one year ago we warned that the region was moving towards great

danger towards radical ideology and terrorism. they only understood when the islamic state group fighters overran part of iraq. >> can egypt be a reliable ally. >> as compared to the rest, as reliable as you can hope for, given the circumstances. egypt is a long-time ally in the dealings with israel. we'll see if they'll continue boots on the grounded. before you go to another topic. what is going on at the white house. there has been two security breaches in 24 hours. what happened. >> some people making jocks about it saying who did not let the dogs out. it is a serious matter. it's the first time someone on friday jumped the fence and made it inside the white house. at first the secret service said they didn't shoot him because he did not appear to be armed. now he was carrying a knife with

a 2-inch played. four seconds after someone hits the ground. dogs are supposed to be released. the question is who released them and why. the guards are able to take down a person. then, of course, yesterday there was an attempted intrusion by a driver. he drove his car to the barrier, he refused to leave and was placed under arrest. serious questions. the head of the secret service is tag that it's unacceptable that anyone would be stopped inside the white house. lot of reviews going on. some calling for an overhaul at the top of the secret service. >> certainly a challenge. randall pinkston joining us from the heart of the nation's capital. pope francis is in albapia for his first european trip.

thousands of protesters. it's a small crowd, struggling to find its voice. what have they accomplished >> reporter: it started with an ad in the canada based consumer magazine "ad busters", a call to flood manhattan, setting up tents and a base. about 5,000 occupiers showed up at the park in lower manhattan, no leader, no demands. something they'd be crit side for. they inspired movements across the u.s. and globally. three years later, what did it accomplish. according to the sensis bureau, the rich is getting richer. median income increased.

the poorest saw less than a quart per cent increase. there's no public discourse about the issue. the occupy movement didn't coin the phrase 99%, but did much to make it an every day turn. it shed a light on freedom of speesh. in this video, the campus security officer pepper sprayed innocent protesters, and it went viral. >> comparisons were drawn between them and the tea party. it managed to change the landscape, the latter, occupy wall street was subtle. it did mitt romney no fafrs. and lent a hand in electing bill del blasio. new york city's first democratic may junior in two deck ads. a true occupy canada is yet to

emerge. legislation met little success. >> strike that was an off shoot. it paid off $4 million in loops for students at for-profit everest college, accusing everest of predatory lending benifying the 1%. two automakers with big recalls to tell you about. general motors is recalling more than 200,000 cars. the cadillac sts from 2013 to 2015, and the 2014 and 2014 chevy impalases. the problem is the parking brake arm that may cause the brake pads to engage when not needed, increasing the risk of fire. g.m. says it will notify owners and repair the cars for free. chrysler is recalling 85,000

awesome. it has a massive impact. >> water is at its heaviest at 4 degrees sell si suss. a sure free bridge has water on top. it cools the fridge at a constant 4 degrees, whatever the temperatures outside. it's revolutionizing the storaging of vaccine and blood supplies. sure chills are available in 38 countries, and are deployed by the world health organization, and can be used and sent out as part of disaster relief much the latest consign. is delivered by u.n.i.c.e.f. part of the effort to rebuild the infrastructure after the 2013 typhoon. the hospital in zimbabwe is using the technology to provide vac soon for newborn children.

here there are power cuts every day and with a failure to vaccinate, it costs lives. >> coming in two days, you can't be sure that the situation is retified. that would mean children or the vaccine could be presentable. back in wales they are trying to extend from 10 days do 30. they were in talks with big drink companies. >> for me, the dream of putting this technology into the homs of people in developing countries, and millions and millions of people that can't use a rebridge rater. they don't have the electricity to support it. it's a tech knowledgery with limited accusations.

not surprisingly commercial responsibilities are generating interest. >> educating the public through art. the new museum bringing together centuries of muslim culture under one roof. don't go anywhere.

civilisation and cult urls that produce that art. >> these miniatures from persia, india and central asia show startling detail. almost abstract in the mix of calligraphy, painting, gold leaf and paint. they challenge what many may think of as islamic art. the idea to kelent historical works -- kelent historical works with muslim artists. >> we want people to realise arts from the muslim world is not just from the past, but living and breathing today. >> every aspect of the museum is supposed to compliment what is on display. take the staircase. it's no exaggeration to say the building is a work of hart -- work of art. >> as are the ground. this man painted a room. and transformed a concrete plaza into an explosion of flowers.

you with success and prosperity. you can complete the jobs we couldn't fulfil so we can continue with a happy and steady life. >> the two men's parties will share the ministries. >> today is god and bad news. it's an end to a long-time critical crisis. the bad news is it's a huge setback. >> for some, the unity government is not the answer they were looking for. >> we are disappointed. it was not our vote that decided this, they could have made a deal 6 months ago. it has hurt the economy and inflamed a security situation. one of the first asks will be to sign a security agreement allowing u.s. forces to remain in afghanistan.

>> let's go to jennifer glasse, live for us this morning. what more can you tell us about this deal? >> well sorry, you catch me as helicopters fly overhead our live position. the deal has been signed. nobody really has any illusions that the way forward is not going to be challenging. it's a whole new form of government for afghanistan. there'll be a president, as is it'sing nayed in the constitution, but the real question is will the two former rivals be able to rule together, and rule effectively to govern afghanistan at a critical time. as you heard, many people know the economy is terrible. security is delicate. everyone will watch to see how well the unity government works. >> you mentioned how delegate the situation is, and how critical a time it comes at.

deals have collapsed at the last moment. what makes this different? >> well it's been hart fought out and signed in front of a nation. every television channel carried it live, and they hammer youed out the agreement. if there was concern between the time it was initialled last night and signed. maybe that someone could back out. they recognise a critical time. the new president has to sign a bihateral security agreement in the united states to keep the u.s. forces here. they realise it couldn't go on. it's hampering the economy, afghanistan was suffering. it's been hailed bit the white house, the u.s. secretary of state john kerry - hailed it as a move forward. the u.n., the european union said this was the rite thing to do for now. >> -- right thing to do for now. >> abdullah abdullah asked that the final results not be made

public. will we ever know how it ended? >> well, i think the feeling certainly from western officials that i spoke to. believe there has to be a transparency in the elections, ordinary the future of democracy is at threat. 8 million afghans coming out and voting in the electionsment millions want to know that their votes counted. how the commission addresses the issue, we are not sure. they are concerned if the vote comes out and it's seen as illegitimate. there could be the possibility of wrest. that's the next thing that afghanistan will watch for. how the election result will be made public. we believe it will happen today because afghanistan needs a new president appointed. >> jennifer glasse joining us live from kabul. >> secretary of state john kerry released a statement on that deal, as jennifer mentioned saying:

a series of loud explosions in yemen. large plumes of smoke could be seen rising above the hospital, where there has been renewed fighting between the shia rebel group and government forces, despite both sides saying they'll sign a truce today. they agreed to the u.n. brokered deal on saturday. violence between the two groups triggered the worst crisis in yemen since 2011. two are dead, six injured after a bomb exploded. the last happening on a busy sidewalk. of the two dead, one is a police officer and the other a senior official. it happened near egypt's foreign ministry, and the headquarters for state-run television. we'll bring you more details as they become available.

>> the u.s. military says it carried out five air strikes on i.s.i.l. targets. one destroyed a boat moving supply the across the euphrates river. and the other targeted armed vehicles, i.s.i.l. checkpoints and the guard post. the u.s. conducted a total for 183 air strikes. with us for the latest on the fight and the other developments out of washington d.c. is randall pinkston. >> there was a large protest in iraq against those u.s. air strikes, and the demonstrators are following a shia cleric. should the u.s. be concerned about the visible animosity happening on the ground? >> well, the cleric you are talking about is sadder, and if you recall at an earlier point his followers battled american forces in iraq. there's concern. muqtada al-sadr calling on his

followers to protest the possible return of combat troops of americans on the grouped. which the u.s. do not want to do, but the u.s. is trying to assist iraqi forces in fighting off the fighters of the islamic state, i.s.i.l. >> speaking of the president, have the u.s. strikes had any impact on i.s.i.l.'s strength inside iraq so far. >> you mentioned 183 air strikes. every time a bomb hits, they destroy something. the issue is getting at the leadership, command and control, getting at fighters and a structure that moves into the civilian population. the ultimate solution, according to military analysts and experts is someone on the ground to take on the forces, and that is what someone is doing, forming the coalition, someone to go in and deal with i.s.i.s.

>> let's go to where you are, the white house. there's a lot of serious news. two men arrested after ipp trouding on the ground. one maid it inside the front door with a knife. has there been fall out. >> quite a bit. the head of the secret services ordered an investigation. he said it was unacceptable for the intruder not to be stopped until he reached inside. first time that happened. there has been fence jumpers and air planes landing on nt ground of the white house. no one made if inside the building. here is the core issue. why did they not release the canine unit, the dogs trained to take down intruders. one of the reasons is because there were secret service agents on the grounds, and the dogs can't distinguish between an inned truder and the good guys,

but how does the guy sprint 20 seconds, the time it takes to get from the fence to the front door of the white house. a lot of questions raised and security structure being put in place. expect to see more secret service ates around the white house. >> randall pinkston joining us live from washington. pope francis is in albania for his first european trip outside of italy. he was cheered by a rock star by thousands that turned out to greet him. he celebrated mass. the pope's trip is highlighting the peaceful christ yab muslim coexistence. security is tight for the visit after threats against his life by i.s.i.l. rebels. a man accused in the deadly shooting of a pns christopher gibson state trooper -- pennsylvania stat trooping is on the loose, believed to be hiding

first the rain - heavy and out of season. it knocked the plant around, damaging the quality of the cotton. the floods hit, washing away a third of the crop, taking 40% of the business as profits. because of damage we have less raw material. the flood is costing us a fortune. the factory is barely running 12 hours a day because we don't have enough cotton. >> from the air you see the extent of the damage. farms, factories and villages flooded when the government diverted from rural areas. >> around 7,000 square kilometres from ag cultural land is under water. food prices are going up. the worry is that there won't be enough basic supplies left to feed people. this farmer, who is a lawyer and politician also, says the cost

of some food items has doubled, tripled. >> from the farm to the market. the food stuffs are not coming. crops are destroyed. so this will have a demand and supply impact. in the short run, 3-6 months, we feel there'll be o 20-25% inflation. >> for tenant farmers, it's a catastrophe. they have nothing. no crops, no home and are living on irrigation dykes waiting for the water to recede. their landlord says it's the worst flood he has seen. >> translation: labourers are in crisis. their families are in crisis. we need a compensation package from the government, and we can rebuild the houses and infrastructure. if the government doesn't help we'll ley living hand to

mouth -- we'll be living hand to mouth. >> for many people, there's nothing they can do, except see if there's anything worth catching. >> from the floods in pakistan, to the tropical storms hitting mexico. we are joined by meteorologist dave warren. >> not what you want to hear. this is a minor impact. is this is the tropical storm. it's passing to the south. not intensifying and moving away from land, impacting the coast. this video coming in sowing the wound and -- showing the wind and the waves. wind picking up and a lot of waves there affecting the southern port of the peninsula, areas hard hit by odile. it's moving away from land. it's good news but close with the storm. moving off to the west, there's the tropical storm expecting to

turn south in the weekend. this will not move north. some of the moisture is pushing north. it's flooding concerns across texas. the watch is extending west, the area of heavy rain. it could lead to more flooding. >> thank you so much. coming up. fleeing the border. tens of thousands of syrians flogging to turkey. col ner cedric lleyton joins us next. spoiler - could the senator from vermont put a wrench in the hillary clinton run for the white house. we'll hash it out in the weekend politics. and sewing the seeds of change, how a group of scientists are trying to open up the market for farmers to plant their seeds for free. some may be in law enforcement, or

experts in domestic abuse or child abuse areas. everything from how we collect

good morning to you. welcome back to al jazeera america. i'm morgan radford, thank you for joining us. there's an exodus taking place now across the syrian turkish border. you are looking at live

pictures. in the last two days, more than 50,000 kurdsish syrians crossed into turkey in an effort to save themselves from i.s.i.l. turkey opened a stretch, fearing an attack on the border towns. capitol hill advanced no northern syria, killing at least 11 kurds in one village. joining us to discuss the effort to stop i.s.i.l. is retired colonel cedric lleyton. thank you for joining us. israel says his country is committed to stopping i.s.i.l. how important is that support to president obama? >> i think it will be critical. egypt's support is not only from a logistic stand point a critical factor, but israel is a major leader in the arab world. culturally, militarily. the egyptians are basically

number one. any time you get the jacob shapro government to help you with the -- egyptian government to help you in the fight against i.s.i.l., it's a huge deal. it's a welcome boost for the president obama administration, and shows that there's an agreement between the egyptian and u.s. government. we weren't keep for them to take over, but abdul fatah al-sisi's government is taking over militarily. now it's a matter of necessity that we work with them. >> albeit you describe it as a boost, how reliable is their partnership? >> their partnership is reliable. intelligence services are well connected. the military is probably the number one or number two military in the arab world in terms of the types of weaponry they have. they are well organised and used

to working with the u.s. they had a lot of years of experience. they are one of the most reliable partners you can have in the middle east. >> what about turkey, we saw kurdish fighters go in. can we see the image. we saw i.s.i.l. rebels miles from the border. can we expect turkey to have a change of heart because of powerful images like this. will they embrace the fight. >> it will be interesting to see. i think the turks, first of all, achieved a major diplomatic coup by being able to release the 49 hostages that were cap toward by i.s.i.l. in their consulate in iraq. now that those hostages are on turkish soil, back safe on turkish soil. the turks have a bit more freedom to play with, what they can do next. they can figure out where they want to go.

i think they will supply more logistical support to the u.s. i think what they'll do is become more actively engaged in providing active support to the anti-i.s.i.l. forces. but they'll be careful, as we know, they don't like the bashar al-assad regime in syria. they'll have to balance their activities, like we will. >> the million dollar question before you go. over all, is the obama strategy working? >> well, there's tactical successes to that strategy. i think that the jury is out on this. the reason i say that is that there is no way that you can really destroy an organization like i.s.i.l. without a true ground presence, and no one said that they have mounted that ground presence, with the exception of the syrian rebels, the kurdish peshmerga, and the iraqi army.

nobody else is stepping up to the plate. there's a long way to go. >> thank you retired colonel cedric lleyton. a year ago today fighters attacked a high end maul in kenya. questions remain about what happened. survivors are coming to terms with their experience. kathryn sawyer reports. >> reporter: it was as dramatic as it was lethal. at the end of a 4-day siege, there was deaths, injuries and destruction. the mall stood, inside it was in ruins. a year later rachel is finally about to get a new pros thet uk foot. this is what a happened with a hand grenade. >> i'm recovering day by day. it's not been an easy journey since i lost my husband, 2012,

november 9th, after 14 days of marriage. >> reporter: at the mall's rooftop a cooking show was going on when the attackers arrived. most were women and children. it was an open space, nowhere to hide. this man lost his mother and son. he's trying to understand why they had to die, and has doubt about the faith of those that murdered them. >> i don't think so. i feel i don't think the guys - okay, they came to die, but were they killed or not - no one nose. >> the police say the gunmen were killed. government information about the siege has been contradictory and scanty. >> survivors and toes that lost their loved ones are struggling to find closure. a year on there's no official

act of what happened. >> what people know is what they peaced toot by footage from cameras in the mall. and conspiracy series. >> details were uncoordinated. there was a fall out between the police and military. in this era of terrorism. security forces can't afford to slip up. >> it's a new phenomena. so i thing they can - they must have a programme, why they are going to uplist. >> the truth about what happened inside the mall in those four days may never be known. survivors, some of whom waited for hours, in what was a death trap, and lost people they

loved, want to remember and honour the dead in the hope that their names will never be forgotten. >> kenya is on high alert. weeks ago al-shabab's recruits if leader and mastermind was killed in a u.s. air strikes. al-shabab vowed revenge. >> today is the last day of a 3-day lockdown, where government officials told 6 million people to stay home to slow the sprald of ebola. let's get a look at what textures we can expect across the country, with meteorologist dave warren. >> temperatures are getting cooler. there's a problem in the pacific. this is a tropical storm. now affecting taiwan, because

it's a tropical storm, causing problems. we'll look at the philippines where they mentioned rain. 1.5 feet. 18-20 numbers of. a number of fatalities, still a problem. now, as it moves to taiwan, here is the radar showing the ragged center of the storm. an intense storm. a lot of rain coming down. close to 3 feet. dumping a lot of rain. blooding is a big problem. temperatures getting cool are. this will be impacting the first die of fall. temperatures dropping across the great leaks. look at the numbers. the national forecast a bit later. check out the new mission in space. >> 3. 2. 1. engines christopher gibson. >> lift off.

a u.s. commercial spacecraft blasts off to rhonda view with the international zas station. >> is he gearing up for a won. many wonder? vice president joe biden is eyeing a campaign for the white house after a first to iowa. >> people around the world marching for change. we talk to the organiser about the timing of these rallies. stay tuned.

we talk to the organiser about

stay tuned. good morning, thank you for joining us. i'm morgan radford, and these are the top stories, afghanistan's presidential candidate sign off on a pour sharing deal. both claim to have won the election. ashraf ghani appears to be the winner. the secret service steps up security after another attempted breach. a han is in custody after driving his car into a bar kated entry way. less than 24 hours after another man jumped the fence and got

through the white house front door with a knife. all that before being arrested. pope francis is in albania, where thousands turned out to greet him. he turned out for pass. the trip is highlighting the peaceful christian co-existence. hundreds of thousands around the globe are marking for climate change. it's called the people's apparently. many eventsar planned in 158 countries, including a rally in new york city. >> here to talk about the march is kim glass, a director of blue green alliance, one of the organizers among the 1400 partnering organization: thank you for being with us. what tangible changes are you hoping to see? >> we are excited to participate. the blue-green alliance is an

organization of 15 environmental orknanisation. and we believe you don't have to wick between the environment and a good job. we'll be here for the summit on tuesday. we think the u.n. leaders need to step up on climate change. this is a global problem. we need to address it. speaking of dresses up. the u.n. secretary-general bangui man is stepping out. he'll participate with you. has anything hoick that happened? >> not that i'm aware of. he has been a leader on climate change. he's been reaching out to the u.n. and act quickly on climate change. >> what does his popes mean internationally. what message does it send as the other world leaders are gathing in new york. >> i think because he's been a leader and talking about the issue, there's over 130 world

leaders coming on tuesday to talk about climate. that is important. including president obama, who announced the climate action plan, which the blue-green alliance and other organizations support. >> now it's time for other nations to step up. it's an important message. it's not just happening in new york, but across the world with all these event and over 158 countries. >> you said it's time for the rest of the world to step up. where do they start? >> they have to start from the past groups. there's student groups, religious groups, a broad spectrum of people participating in the march. voices need to be heard. it's happening across the world. >> you have celebrities - leonardo decaprio. what do you think is the message

to the critics not involved in the march. >> i think there's a lot of other celebrities as part of the march. we have teachers, construction workers, so i think it's broad, is amplified the message, shows the american people that this is a huge issue and will take all of our collective voices to be heard. >> you wrote that congressional action endangers communities and opportunities for american workers. can you explain what you mean? >> everyone nose congress had incredible gridlock over the last few years, and we missed a watershed moment. it's very important that the world engages in this process. the president stepped up. he's coming to talk about the climate action plan at the u.n. summit. congress spent more time naming

post offices, and spending time figuring out how to solve a massive problem. there's an important message to be given to leaders in the u.s. we are looking for job creating measures as a result of addressing change christopher gibson. >> president obama stepped up. congress not so much. while the country is dealing with terrorism and war, what should happen in the next few weeks, months from congress and yate leaders. >> there'll be a lot on our agenda, international conflicts and things happening around the world. all the science agrees that climate change is a problem. we need to take a close look at and dress immediately. we believe that the congress, there's things you do on local level and internationally we'll have to figure out how to address it.

the united states can take certain steps forward. what are the measures they see going forward. developing countriesar a major contributor. >> they saw the devastation. we are aware of what happens when we see polar vortex and major disosers like hurricanes and the mass of life. it's fitting that the march starts in new york, not only because of u.n. climate summit. but new yorkers are aware of what happens wep climate change impacts the security. >> it's a busy day ahead. thank you so much for joining us. >> the global seed market is controls by a handful of companies. crops are restricted.

a group of scientists and activists is trying to change that. >> reporter: the professor is not a fan of what he calls indentured seed. each modified corn seed is patenned 32 times to restrict its use. chemical companies are looking behind g.m. seeds for new sources of income. at stake, non-g.m. vegetable seeds and the general plasm. we saw the patent come through. onions, beats. if we don't do something now, it will be taken off the table. >> what they hope will become a global library of seeds. 73% of the world's commercial seed could be described as

indentured. genetic material is patented. the free change of seed is prohibited. without that you breed in a psilo, within your own material. >> as a result, the global pool of genetic resources shrinks. >> what we need as we face the challenges coming with climate change. if we are going to not to feed the 10 billion people, but allow them to feed themselves. what we need is a range of new varieties in a wide range of crops. you >> reporter: the monopolization of u.s.'s crops is felt at the humble levels. >> most of the corn that we planted at home when i was a kid is not available. this is the baby. >> they used open source seeds.

like the seeds from multinational companies they come with conditions, but they are different. this is the open source seed pledge. by opening this packet, it says, you pledge that you will not restrict others use of their seeds and derivatives by patents, licences or any other moons. organic, local and fair trade has grown in popularity. supporters of open source seeds hope they'll be a choice for farmers and consumers uneasy about the corporate monopolization of the global food supply. >> since the seeds are now considered intellectual property, you need prime ministers from the patent holder and not supposed to harvest seeds more planting the next year. >> october fest - thousand watched the governor take a

ceremonial step. the festival runs until october 5th. a late start for a capsule headed to the international space station. 3. 2. 1. engines. ignited. we have lift off of spacex fall con. talk about lift off. it took off overnight from cap cannes averil in florida the the initial launch was scrubbed by weather. n.a.s.a. is about to get a closer look at mars, and jacob ward has the story. >> mars is scary and desolate. stripped of lie by the sun, which eroded the conditions. how desolate is mars. that's what we sent the satellite to measure. it will arrive just before 10. there are complications of

sending something to mars. not the least the incredible amount of time to get there. >> what is difficult and risky is how close the spacecraft needs to come to the surface. it's like shooting an apple off someone's head. but from 4200 miles. a bullet that would take over 700 days to get there. it will enter orbit 236 miles. 380km above the northern poll of mars. it will burn engines, fire them to slow down, and then they'll whip out into a 35 hour capture orbit. the satellite boom ranks out before re-entering orbit. that's the pattern. it will do that again and again for five weeks, to test out its instruments and get comfortable. >> it's going to do a very delegate and dangerous dance

around morse throughout this time. it's no soak. the entry point is close. it will get a lot closer. it'll be 77 miles, 125km. if you stood on the surface, you would be able to look up and see it whipping past. we see sunlight glinting off the international space station, three times as high. it will literally scoop overhead. being that low will let the satellite take what is basically is big sniff. when it's at its furthest point. it will take big images. if it all goes well, we'll walk away knowing what happened to the upper atmosphere of mars, what the ravages of the time and sun did to the planet and how gas escaped from the surface, and what happened to the water that we believe covered a huge

area of the surface. it will give us an assistance of what it would take too live on mars, but what the universe might to do our planet when we are ghosts here. >> a similar mission back in 1999 failed when the distance to mars was miscalculated. >> is vice president joe biden joining up for a run. many wonder what his visit to iowa suggests as we head to the 2016 campaign season. stay tuned.

ise, no clutter, just real reporting. the new al jazeera america mobile app, available for your apple and android mobile device. download it now good morning, thank you for joining us on al jazeera america. let's get a look at the forecast with meteorologist dave warren. >> the last weekend of summer, feeling like it across the east coast as the temperatures climb. there's rain around north carolina. going off the coast. the front is the focus for

severe weather. wind damage around the great lakes. the front sliding through today and tomorrow. this is where it will be. key is that monday night is the start of fall. feeling like it op tuesday, against the great labours in the east. heat returning to the dakotas, and the southern plains much temperatures will climb, but it will feel like fall. the fight against i.s.i.l. is first up in the weekend politics segment. president obama succeeding in getting funding on capitol hill to fund the effort. didi bangui, formerate to george w bush, and basil, contributor to the hill.com, and a former aide. both houses pass a measure to arm syrian rebels. is this the most pressing matter for congression -- congress

right now? >> it's one matter. we have americans being beheaded. our country has a hist christopher gibson of helping the world. -- history of helping the world. when we co that, we secure ourselves. >> the president outlined how bloody the actions taken have been, that the group is more dangerous an al qaeda. he made his case for the american people. the fact he saw the house in the senate act quickly, resolutely is a good sign. i think it will be pressing for the moment. i think it will subside as more issues come to the table. after the 2014 election. >> senator mccain disagrees. listen to what he had to say. >> why does the president insist on continuing to tell the enemy what he won't do.

why is it that the president of the united states keeps telling the people slaughtering thousands, "don't worry, we won't commit ground troops", why does he have to keep saying that. >> will his critics be satisfied with the plan. president obama should have moved quicker, and it's been talked about many teems. about whether we had an american beheaded. that is a terrible message. senator mccain is correct. he is disgusted with the president. he's correct to be impatient. the president is not the type of president who wants to do this type of thing. i think it's late. hopefully senator mccain can get tougher. >> is that disgust and inpatients misplaced? >> it is a little bit. only because the american people

don't want troops on the ground. i think the president is reflecting that sentiment. i agree that it probably should have acted earlier. with what we have now on the table. i don't think he's out of line with what the american people want. i understand senator mccain's concerns. i don't think the american people are behind the president. we should show our strong faces as a country, together. his marks may be truthful. ultimately he needs to go ahead and support of the president. >> senator mccain said the same thing about russia when it came to ukraine. is he looking for war. >> no, he's looking for security. when it comes to the issues, he's week. the red line, it didn't happen, it hasn't been strong at all in this area. it would be wise for the president to listen to senator mccain in this area.

he is correct. he should not be given the guidelines to the enemy. i would say one point, the president campaigned on pulling out of iraq and afghanistan. any hesitation to go full force is because he promised the american people that he wouldn't go this route. i understand that part. but the president made promises to the american people. that he doesn't want to go back on. he's not doing anything. nigly, finally there's a small disep to the right. this is senator's bailiwick. the wd - it would behooted him to listen to the senator. for bernie sanders, he had 5% in

the poll. >> is he a serious contender. >> my guess is he'll be in the race. that will be good because there's a strong progress ipart of the party that wants his kind of candidacy. i think hillary is presumptive. i would precaution that there not be a campaign, which we have not seen. as long as you take that part off the table, i think you'll see a healthy dialogue among democrats about where the party should go. >> do you think he is to clinton what intoeder was to gore. >> joined what you are saying, i don't think he's serious. biden is the vice president of the united states. he has an interest. hillary, she looks so tired, and

doesn't feel like she wants to do it. i think it's biden. >> you think byed ep is stepping up a 2016 run. >> he's interested. how many times duds he run in the past. even though we talk about clinton, warren and sanders, i make a bit of a case for joe biden. i don't know if he has troops on the ground, o'malley, thinking about 2016, has a staff presence in iowa. i don't know what joe biden can do. >> he's the vice president, that's a big deal. >> but he has to make stronger positive steps, because we are at the end - close to the end of 2014. you have to put folks in place by the middle of next year at worst. >> when you talk about putting these folks in place, how will barack obama's approval rating, which has dropped. how will that affect the run.

bush is the reason dick cheney can't run. >> sore to say this, any -- sorry to say this, any candidate - part of the campaign is running against the legacy of president obama. because the poll numbers are low, because there's unfulfuled promises. some of their strategy going into 2016 has to be able to pick up on the momentum or the coalitions, but run a little against some of his messaging and policies. >> how do you think that will affect the balance of power af november? >> i think the republicans will win back the senate. if we didn't. it would almost be easier. we could say the democrats d everything wrong. when we win the senate, it's more equal. i think, you know, it will be a toss up, depending on what the

issues are and the candidate. if it's hillary clinton, versus who nose. it makes a big difference who is running. if we win the senate, it will equal things out. >> something hitting capitol hill is the ray rice saga. do you think that is an issue that needs to be politicized. particularly when we see 16 signing saying you guys got to keep this in check. >> it behoves more voices and the correct voices in the room. i think it's an issue for capitol hill - in part, if it strengthens certain teens of legislation and strengthen certain penalties, it's warranted. the other issue which shouldn't be overlooked is with the number

of n.f.l. games through the woke. >> especially with the thursday games. >> a lot of conversation is swept upped the rug for a -- under the rug for a brief moment in time. any way to bring the issue to light will be a good thing. >> as a political guru. we had senator bloomen felled speaking on radio. >> congress has to move in to the teams. the less government the better. i thought it was odd. it has become a problem. it was so despicable what the fep did. for women to come out. whether you are a senator, teacher, for you to speak out is a good thing. i thought it was overstepping, but it's the right message. >> it's interesting, because there's a smaller conversation about u.s. soccer. hope so'oialo was accused of

domestic voms, she is continuing to ploy, but it hasn't been discussed. a bigger problem, not just the issue in and of itself, but there's a lot of taxes that get support from the government, pushing a lot of dialogue and criminality under the rug. >> i don't like the fact that the government is getting involved. if it was any more than this message... >> send a message. it's a right message, a good message. snow why are we getting involved. >> goodall hired three women to come in and help with the messaging and situation. i think it's been - people are hard on him. he's doing his job. now it seems that he has stepped up so everyone gets the messages. everyone gets it that domestic violence is bad. >> thank you so much for joining us so early sunday morning.

it's our pleasure to have you with uxes a palestinian woman is turning screens of construction in gaza into works of art. she shares her story and vision of hope for her own people. >> my name is bushrah. i'm a 25-year-old graphics designer. as a palestinian, a human and an arab, i cannot be an observer to the destruction of a country and a mass killing of people, especially if it's in my homeland and my people. this requires me to resist, it's not only done by military means, it's by culture and art. before working on the pieces i felt helpless. i couldn't do anything for gaza. when i started, i felt there was something speaking. i felt hope, empowered.

anyone who stares at the sky sees shapes in the crowds, seeing shapes in the gloud. this is not about me, it's the story of those killed. each peace takes time. i contemplate a lot. i think of something new and tell a different story. it takes me a while to gather pictures before executing the idea. the peace i like most is mortars ascending it was my first. the seconds on tv at the time were those of killed children. another favourite is the mother and child. the smoke in the pictures were 100% identical. my message is to show the world what is happening, and hope they convey it correctly. >> this summer - fighting between hamas and israel killed more than 2100 palestinians, and 71 people on the israeli side. >> that does it for this edition

of al jazeera america. straight ahead, more on afghanistan and politics for our colleagues in doha. thanks for joining us. have a great day.
