9:05 am
signed. i was driving from the airport to the center. we have seen fighters and houthi civilians. militant in the north of sanaa everywhere. we turned and saw them there, with weapons in their cars, and in one of the places we saw them standing 20 meters from an army base, and the two sides were in a part of the north. in another part. the sixth army zone is located. we just got a report now that the army has pulled out. from that base. >> which is one of the major prominent bases. one was led by the man who led the wars against the houthis in the past 20 years. now it capitulated to the high
9:06 am
courties at a time when they were sitting in the palace, trying to sign the deal. it is telling that the two things are happening at the same time. and people are confused about what it moons. >> do they understand why government machinery, a military machine that has access to all the taxes, et cetera, et cetera, that bring in the money to buy the weaponry could be brought to its knees by houthi tribes that get its weapons from where? >> that is a question puz lipping everyone. why when we have seen fighter jets in the air, with tanks, heavy weapons. why did they capitulate and succeed in the capital. so easily in the instance of the group. we heard they left 11 tanks

9:10 am
unrest, because abdullah abdullah believes the election audit did not go as as well as it could have, and not all the fraudulent votes were thrown out. ashraf ghani will be the new president-elect. no numbers, no idea how big the gap was, between the two men. distrip sis over the votes, and how many were fraudulent. there are allegations of fraud on both sides. the election commission saying it might announce numbers at a later date, but not now. >> in terms of bilateral security agreement between the united states and afghanistan, the signing of this was delayed month after month after month because of the political stalemate. give us a sense - i gather it will be one of ashraf ghani's first jobs. what will it mean.
9:11 am
>> it will be one of the first things signed. what it will do is lay the ground work for u.s. forces to stay beyond the end of 2014, where the mission ends. president obama expectation, 9, 800 troops to remain. it's the first step for n.a.t.o. to sign an great. security fors node interringal help and finance. that has been a big sticking point of this political process, concern about the delicate security situation. the taliban and others took advantage of the political situation. we will love it there. thank you very much. in ukraine, there appeared to be a few problems in
9:12 am
cementing the ceasefire deal signed two weeks ago. let's go to robin who is in donetsk. what is the difficulty here? >> i can say that donetsk feels a little safer. anecdotally we haven't heard as much shell fire as in recent days. both accusing each other of violating a ceasefire. two soldiers were killed. ate wounded. rebels saying that the ukrainians breaching a ceasefire. we spoke to a rebel commander claiming that ukrainians were responsible for blowing up a factory. >> tell us about the buffer zone, the beens concerning that,

9:18 am
up a buff are zone. those talks took place earlier. let's bring in carol, unhcr's representative in turkey, joining us from ankara. when they opened the boarder yesterday, we saw so many thousands coming across. it gave us a scale of the problem. how is anyone managing to cope. >> fortunately turkey opened the border and received people and leapt into action. once again, they have facilities at the border for security checks, health checks, they are fact sinuating children. and we have assisted them with mobile regs strags centers, where people can be registered. and assigned a place to live if they are not object stay with families. many arriving have been hosted
9:19 am
generously in families in towns throughout the south. there are buses taking people to empty places in camps, and other locations. many people in schools, in places of condolences, funeral homes and parks are still being processed, numbers arriving. and this is the largest number of arrivals in a this hour period since -- in a 24 hour period since the syrian emergency erupted. >> when you see pictures of police using water canon, ter gas - and i'm not suggesting those they were aiming them at were refugees, but perhaps relatives or kurds on the other side of the border, it demands how volatile the situation can be down there. >> it's extremely frustrating.
9:20 am
it's extremely worrying. this is a country hosting up to 1.35 million syrians, and hosting syrians for some time. there are mane iraqi here, refugees from other locations as well. as the situation goes on, the strain is greater. both for refugees and the host community, now is the time to step up and provide the very much needed resources. in 24 hours, unhcr took 20 trucks, loaded with blankets and plastic sheets and jerry cans and core relief its to the location, and we are doing everything possible to help the authorities who have taken a strong leadership role on the humanitarian needs, and who are assisting people who are arriving.
9:21 am
both unhcr and assistant agencies, the world food program. world health organization. there's so many needs. we'd be able to do more to support the refugees in turkey, and i would like to underline. sometimes there can be a misunderstanding that turkey as a country that is wealthier, better resourced than other countries in the region, that they don't need assistance. this is not the case. these are refugees, it's an international responsibility, a commitment for all of us, these are 80% women, children, disabled, elderly that need our help. we need to say to the syrian people and host communities that have been helping them, that we are here, they have solidarity and the humanitarian life saving
9:22 am
needs will be met. >> we appreciate you taking the time and wish you the best. >> unhcr representative talking to us on behalf of the hundreds of thousands if not millions syrian refugees. egyptian television is saying that two police officers were killed near the foreign ministry. six others were wounded, all of whom we understand were soldiers. security forces were targeted by a number of attacks. the same state television reporting the crash of a military surveillance aircraft. the accident killed six crew and injured one. al jazeera unable to support from inside europe. peter greste, mohamed fadel fahmy and baher mohamed have been detained for 267 days,
9:23 am
falsely accused of aiding the outlawed muslim brotherhood. al jazeera demands their immediate police. in his first interview since taking office, the egyptian president had this to say about the imprisonment. >> 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. now the kates is in the hand. judiciary system. >> it was called a publicity stunt. the lockdown in in its third and final day. around the capital freetown medical facilities are open to treat infected people. >> reporter: of all the people that have caught ebola so far, more than half died. medical staff take no chances. in hot and huge it positions

9:26 am
enjoyed mexico. it's good to report the bad weather that we have seen. it is moving away from mexico. it is expected to head out towards the west, out to the pacific. it becomes a punish storm at that stage. nevertheless, it's been close enough to give some real problems. we are seeing massive huge waves coming in. like odile did along the coast, through to california. this system is moving away. we should see better conditions. heavy rain across that part of the world. we can do with heavy rain up in oregon state. that part of the world is looking dray and we have the gaston fire, which the authorities are struggling to deal with.
9:27 am
strong winds, dry continues don't help. it looks as though we'll see more dry conditions. to the south-west we have a bit of rain in areas that are seeing rain in unprecedented levels for september. this is another story about extreme weather. the flooding which devastated pakistan's punjab province and the agricultural industry. it's regarded as the breadbasket. and crops under water. as a consequence, food prices are going up. >> it's a terrible year to own a cotton factory. first came the rain. it knocked the plants around, and damaged the quality of the
9:28 am
cotton. then the floods hit taking with it 40% of the business's profit. >> translation: because of damage we are getting less raw material. the blood is costing a fortune of the the factory is barely running 12 hours a day because we don't have enough cotton. >> from the air you see the extent. farms, land flooded. >> around 7,000 square kilometres of agricultural land is under water - everything from fruit, vegetables to rice and sugar. food prices are going up. the worry is there won't be enough basic supplies to feed people. this farmer, a lawyer and pal tirn, says the cost of some food items doubled. and even tripled. >> from the farms to the market.
9:29 am
the food stuffs are not coming. >> the crops are destroyed. this will have a demand and supply impact. in 3 to 6 months we feel there's a 20-25% inflation. >> for farmers, it's a catastrophe. they have nothing. no crops, no home. their landlord says it's the worst flood he has seep. >> poor labourers are in crisis, the families are in crisis. we need a huge compensation package from the government and we can rebuild the houses and infrastructure. if the government doesn't help, we'll be living hand to mouth. across the province, farms have been turned into lakes. for many people, there's nothing they can do, except see if
9:30 am
9:32 am
time to round up the top stories, a security base in sanaa has been taken over by the houthi rebels, the latest in a series of changes made by the houthis. a peace deal is expected to be signed soon. ukranian military accused pro-russian separatists and troops of firing at government forces despite a truce signed two weeks ago. kiev said it will not go ahead with setting up a buffer zone until all sides abide by the terms of a peace plan. >> afghanistan's election commission declared ashraf ghani to be the winner of a run off. the two rival candidates end a power sharing agreement to end months of stalemate. the driving force behind that deal was secretary of state john kerry. what is washington saying about it. tom ackerman is there.
9:33 am
there was a sense of frustration from the u.s. secretary of state. i imagine he's a relieved man now. >> yes, in fact, this actually - they thought that this deal would have been announced several days earlier, and required a lot more phone calling and threats from kerry to contenders before they finally came up with the agreement to sign the agreement, the power sharing agreement. the secretary in a statement today said americans know very well that the road to democracy is contentious and challenging, and leads to the best place. we had our own contentious collections, and witnessed the aftermath. elections are not the end. they must be the beginning where afghanistan and its people move forward, making improvements in the process. the reference to living some of those - the aftermath of
9:34 am
elections is referenced to his own defeat at the hands of george w. bush in 2004 at the presidential election, at which there'd been a lot of dispute as to whether he should have fought out the vote counting. in the end he deferred and decided that he would concede. now, this power sharing agreement is different than an american presidential election, and the americans would like to see what the details are. as we can see there are a lot of empty spaces. the americans will be anxious to see how it's executed. one thing we are sure about is now that ashraf ghani is the president-elect, he will sign the bilateral security agreement in america, and will know where he stands in his relationship
9:35 am
with afghanistan. give us the nuts and bolts of what they are hoping for? this agreement which the outgoing president refused to sign, this agreement basically provides immunity from prosecution or detention from security personal. and the agreement will be in effect for at least 10 years. it specifically, according to the graphs, provides for under 10,000 security personal to be stationed in afghanistan, and the exact duties that they will be carrying out are described as advising and training afghan forces and providing
9:36 am
counterterrorism tack techs or operations. it doesn't exclude the possibility of americans going into hostel situations but says that there would be outright combat exercises conducted by the americans. >> tom ackerman live in washington d.c. to kenya where people are remembering the one year anniversary of the westgate mall attacks. 67 were killed when gunmen opened fire in a shopping center op september 21st, 2013. people have been praying for the victims, a memorial was unfailed. >> let's go live to ath rein soy in nairobi. i know over the last 12 months
9:37 am
you had a lot of contact with people affected by westgate and have been talking to them specifically about what they remember. >> yes, that's correct. i have been talking to some of the survivors, who are traumatised. joining us is a young girl who was spirited from her mum and went to hide. thank you for joining us. there you are. i was watching the footage. the gunman marching you out of the supermarket. you interacted with the gunman. what went on if your mind at that point when you were marched out. >> at that point i was confused. i didn't know what was happening. he sounded kind of sorry. after seeing everything they did, i didn't know what would happen, if they'd shoot me.
9:38 am
i was confused. leaving my friend. i knew she was dead. i didn't know where my mum was. >> how did you end up in the mid section of the supermarket, how you hid and what was going on. how did the gunmen find you. >> when we heard the gunshots, we went on the floor. we ran inside. my friend called her mum. i knew her mum wasn't there. we went to the back of the store. we heard fun shots from outside. we thought they may go inside. people went to different places. we thought maybe it would be good to hide there. we went there. and stayed for an hour. and he - later we heard footsteps. he came and started shooting at all of us laying on the floor.
9:39 am
>> how were you saved. they let you go. how did that happen. you talked to them. what did you say. at first, i heard him calling say "get up, get up." he shot next to me. i looked up. he asked me to come here. he asked if i was muslim. i thought he may ask me something. if i say i'm not he'll kill me. i said i'm not, but my aunty is. he saw the blood on the clothes, he told the one next to him injured, and i am. he let me go saying "i'm sorry, i'm sorry", we walked out with a lady and two kids. the last one, he let the lady and the two kids and my friends. he stopped me and said "where are you from?" i didn't thing anything.
9:40 am
i said sea shells. >> he asked sea shells, he didn't know when it was. he told me to go and was "sorry, sorry." >> that was horrific, you are brave to come here. like i said before, i talked to other survivors and people who lost their loved ones, trying to come to terms with what happened. trying to get answers about, you know, what really happened here at westgate. many unanswered questions. here is their story. >> reporter: it was as dramatic as lethal. by the end of the 4-day siege there was death, injuries, destruction. the mall stood, but inside it was in ruins. a year later rachel is finally about to get a new prosthetic foot. what a hand grenade did to her right leg.

9:42 am
their loved ones are struggling to find closure. a year on, and there's no official act of what happened. what people know is what they've been able to peace together from footage. and conspiracy theories. operations appear uncoordinated. in this hera of trerism. security forces department afford to step up. >> it's a threat to the continent. they must have a problem why they going to uplift. the truth about what really happened inside the mall in those four days may never be known, but for now, survivors, some of whom waited for hours to
9:43 am
get help in what was a death trap, and those that lost people they love want to remember and honour the dead and hope their names will never be forgotten. let us bring in a security namaste from nairobi. the country's president, president kenyatta promised, almost 12 months ago, a commission of inquiry. it hasn't happen. the accusation is that he's frightened it may show up security lapses in information received before the attack, and once it was started. >> yes, i know that the president did promise a commission of inquiry. and later on, the parliamentary committee on security and defense started its own inquiry.
9:44 am
and there was an official plains that there wouldn't be two parallel investigations or inquiries into the same issue. the parliamentary committee gave its own report, which was not accepted by the majority of the members of the parliament, on the basis that it did not disclose or give enough information as to what happened at westgate. before, during and af the attack. >> why do you think the president and his advisors say they are still waiting for forensic evidence from the united states and israel on particularly the attackers when both the countries, the fbi and israelis say we have given everything to kenya, we can't give them everything else? >> i don't really have a lot of information on that. i can let you know that quite a
9:45 am
number of things have happened since the attack. in terms of the information shared publicly on what happened. and there's concerns that some of the information if it is released, will obviously lead to - or rather will confirm what analysts say during the attack and the response that happened, that there was a lack of coordination against the security agencies, and there was a laps of intelligence, and they did not act on bits of information received by the government before the attack. >> thank you very much indeed for giving us your thoughts on that on the sad day for all k kenya kenyans, we appreciate you coming on the programme. the united states and europe introduced new sanctions against
