war as rebels take over large parts of the capitol. >> israel shoots two palestinians dead. killing two injuryish teenagers. >> we will see how people here are coping two weeks after the worst flooding in over a century. the u.s. and five of it's arab allies have launched their first air strikes against the islamic state in iraq, and the he haven't. now the group has taken over large areas of syria and iraq. and wants to establish an islamic state in that region. several areas were targeted including the isil strong hold of raka. war planes drones and tomahawk missiles. the u.s. led the attacks

with sup bort from jordan, saudi arabia, qatar, and bahrain. at least sevenpennies lambic state fighters were killed. correspondent has more now on the interoperations against isil. >> over the course of three hours a total of 200 bombs were fired. the vast majority from american war planes and ships. the u.s. is president made sure to highlight the u.s. didn't go it alone. >> we are joined in this action by our friends and partners. saudi arabia, the united arab emritz, jordan, and qatar. america is proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with these nations on obehalf of our common security. >> the obama administration is denying reports it coordinated the strikes saying only the government of bashar al asaad was informed and warned not to interfere with u.s. planes. the military says his

radar was not actively pursuing them. the target was the islamic state group uh, headquarters storage buildings and a finance center, but they weren't the only targeted. the u.s. says it alone went after a group affiliated with al quaida. >> it is clearly not focused on the rashad regime, or the syrian people, they are establishing routs in syria, in order to advance attacks against the west and the homeland. what was the plot? so far the officials won't say, and they are not providing evidence to back up claims of an imminent threat. the pentagon says it didn't target the leadership, and is still arecessing how much damage the strikes inflicted. what is clear is this was the first night of strikes with many more to come. al jazeera, washington. >> well, activists say civilians were killed in the bombardment near aleppo. the u.s. military says there were at least eight strikes in that area

targeted the al quaida linked consider zap group. >> we can't independently confirm this, but oppositions say the u.s. was responsible for hitting this residential build canning is not far from a known headquarters of syria's al quaida branch. they salem people including four children were killed. the obama administration expanded it's operations against the islamic state, to syria. dozens of air strikes were carried out on it's positions in the north of the country. the defense department did confirm a strike in western aleppo, but it says the affiliated group, consider san was the target.

there is no isil positions here, so why did the target civilians. we have never seen these kind of missiles ever. this is the first time. >> the air cam pan is part of the strategy to deneat and destroy isil, which has territory in iraq and syria. unlike in iraq, the u.s. does not have any partners on the ground, isil is a strong and well armed force, and the so called moderate rebels are no match for them, and the u.s. doesn't recognize the legitimacy of the syrian government. >> unless you have a force to replace isil on the ground, the syrian government may benefit from the u.s.' military campaign. it is already benefiting politically, by reiterating it's long standing narrative that it is fighting a war on terrorism the syrian

ambassador sevenned a let fresh the u.s. secretary of state through the iraqi foreign minister, i forming them they will strike inside syria. syria is obviously fighting isil. this will not be an easy fight. air power alone has limitations especially when the fighters live among the people. isil managed to gain ground by exploiting the conflicts in iraq and syria, defeating the group will require political settlements in both countries. al jazeera, beirut. >> representative from the iraqi government has visited the syrian capitol damascus to discuss the campaign against isil. syrian state television shows pictures of the meeting between the envoy and the syrian president. now damascus says it once told about the air strikes before they were carried out. let's get more now from our diplomatic editor, who joins us live, iraq as we have mentioned has

been in communication with syria over the air strikes. now, what more can you tell us. >> it is somewhat confused because there's talk of a lesser the syrians say from john kerry, the americans say there was no such letter. i spoke earlier to the syrian ambassador to the united nations, to try and get his reaction to the air strikes he said they play by the rules they enforced us, then he referred that was past last month here. saying syria strongly supported that, he said he was informed from the american counter parts. i asked him whether he had then said whether they syria would actually expressly given it's permission, and he said i won't go into that, i will be speaking to the security council in 24 hours time. so i think there is a little bit of confusion on the government position but it seems that they are not

objecting to these strikes and are not declaring them to be illegal. but i think we will have are to watch that council meeting extremely closely. president obama is already here in new york, for climate change discussions he is going to been meeting some of the arab minister whose are involved in the air strikes as the day goes on. but it also 24 hours time, sharing that security council meeting. we don't know the russian position. what are the russians going to say about this? i think we will have to watch it closely. >> is president obama likely to face questions on the legality of these recent strikes in syria. >> well, i think they are trying to head off any questions abouten the legality. there is the resident are lewis which doesn't expressly say you can carry are out air strikes but it says countries of the world should fight isil is. there also been a let fresh the iraqi can

government to the security council saying that the iraqi government gives permission to the u.s. to fight isil, and says that there are safe havens beyond it's borders can are being used to attack iraq. and clearly it is talking act syria, there is a letter -- now happened the u.s. had sent a letter to the security council. the u.s. ambassador writing to the security council, she happened also to be the president of the security council right now. but that letter making it clear that the u.s. felt it had to act because the syrian government was not doing enough to confront isil. >> all efforts trying to sell this operation to the united nations. james, thank you for that, james base a diplomatic editor there, speaking to us from the united nations. >> well, france says it won't be deterred from fighting isil, despite one of it's citizens being taken hostage. now he was taken by a group claiming allegiance to isil.

and was filmed calling on france to stop fighting the group. his captors have threatened to kill him within 24 hours if france continues it's volment. a man has been shot dead and two police officers were stabbenned in the australian city of melbourne. an 18-year-old man was asked to go to a police station, in relation to it's routine matter, when violence erupted. now reports suggest that the man was shouting ink solds about prime minister tony abbott. the death comes after australian raised it's terror warning to the second highest level in response to what it describes as the domestic threat posed by supporters of isil. sierra leone says it is sealing it's border to stop the spread of ebale la. it concluded a three day lock down, forcing people to stay indoors. a leading u.s. health agency is is warning ebola cases in west

settlers men, by the name of. those suspected were killed in that fie fight. their funerals were held shortly after their bodies were returned to their families. thousands took to the streets to take part in those funeral processions. the situation here, of course, very intense in deet, after those killings calling on their leaders to end any kind of security cooperation with israel as a result of the killing of those two men. whatever the case, this has cast a shadow over those cease fire talks in cairo. at 1 point, the delegation says that the killing of these men could effect it very seriously, but what we understand is that israeli officials did go to cairo, that those indirect talks are on going. so it appear that neither side have any real interest in fighting in

gaza to continue fighting which of course, claimed the lives of over 2,000 palestinians 67 soldiers and six israeli civilians. >> coming up on the news hour, an adviser to osama bin laden is sentenced to life in prison. and the european rider cup team, drafting a secret weapon, find out how this man is expecting too help them retain their trophy, details later in sports. urged delegates at the u.n. climate change summit not to put the issue on the wac burner. the climate summit is in new york is meant to lay the ground work for a global agreement on reducing carbon emission. but the leaders of two of the biggest polluters

china and india are not attending. our environment editor explains. every day that dawnings the drying force of climate change gathering pace, and we are responsible, those are the facts. such is the unanimous vote at the climate science. and the effects they say can be seen all around us. >> my god. but there's been next to no progress on international efforts to slow the process down. the last time world leaders met was five years ago, at the exhaustive near fiasco of copenhagen. >> i now declare the meeting closed. >> the conference ending with no binding agreement, and since then, climate related disasters have cost the world an estimated $490 billion, with the loss of 112,000 lives. >> sunday's climate marchs demanding action, but what hope is is there

for progress, eses specially when developing giants among others are said not to be going. >> the commitment that they are going to put on the table won't be enough, to stop the climate from the temperature progressing. the government should not take a backseat. they have a role. >> scientists say the greenhouse gases that blanket the earth and keep the heat in, are higher levels than an any time in the last 800,000 years. and that tips the delicate balance of the atmosphere and over a very short period of time, ocean and surface temperatures have increased with more extreme weather and sea level rise as they direct threat to coastal cities communes and industries everywhere. see level rise is already taken it's toll. for island nations it's become a matter of plain survival. >> we are threatening with the very existence of our country, our culture, our tradition,

our language. our future. two fact that we are two meters above sea level, and that a failure to achief a two-degree limit on the warming issue. is spelling the end of this country. it is what is driving us now. >> it is tock at the front lines of global warming, where the need for action is most keeply felt. it is hope that the summit will give impetus, leading on how to reduce emissions in paris from just a year from now. given pass performance that is a tall order. nick clark, al jazeera. >> osama bin laden son-in-law has been sen is tensed to life in prison. he was convicted of march for supporting al quaida, and plotting to kill americans. he was the closest section of osama bin laden to be tried in the u.s. is since the 9/11 attacks. more now from new york.

>> he was given the maximum sentence for each of his three convictions life for conspiring too kill civilians. 15 years for conspiring to provide material support for terrorism. both he and his lawyers have long argued that he was similar is my giving philosophical and religious speeches. in fact, intended to encouraging dialog with the u.s., that he was a deer in the head lights as al quaida grew in strength. the prosecution that his reference to a storm of planes in at least one of his messages suggested prior knowledge of future attacks. the jury agreed the judge sentenced him to life. speaking after the trial, his lawyer said he wasn't surprised. >> the kids that watch videos that show decapitation, and co nothing more, or even talk about the magic word jihad get 25 years. so it was no surprise.

i'm very of mystic we will be appealing. i am optimistic over our chances on appeal. i think there were significant errors before the trial and during the course of the trial. >> his lawyer added that this was a showcase trial for the department of justice to prove that it can convict alleged terrorists in a civilian court. our courts do have a 90% conviction rate when terrorism is invoked. an issue that provokes more questions in itself. where australian eight people have been convictions of terrorism, two of whom have those rulings overturned. the houthies took over large parts of sunday, dashing hopes of a peace deal with the government, now they say they now fully control the airport. reports suggest the airline stop flied to the

city after rebels attempted to board an aircraft. yemen's president is warning of a civil is war and has vowed to restore authority, but the rebel leader says he will ensure an appropriate government is formed. today we have a new form of government based on national participation, competency and integrity. the reality will change into something better, this new form also include as significant package of measures on all political economic security and military levels. >> let's get more on this situation, who joins us live from washington, d.c. she is a blogger from yemen, thank you very much for being with us. now, it seems that the peace deal is dead in the water, or is there any hope at all for negotiations with the rebels? >> i don't think that the deal is dead. they just sign add deal 48 hours ago, so it is

art to start being implemented. so we're supposed to sit for now, and see how it is going to proceed forward. we are waiting for a new government to be created since the prime minister resigned just yesterday. >> but we have got rebels overrunning the capitol, saying that they are not going to leave until peace is restored. to the country. the problem is the military was completely inactive the past week, so when they came they were immediately capable of capturing it. they targeted specific locations and specific army divisions it seems that the army was not responding to the president's orders or was not acting. but it was fairly easy for the hougthis to do what they wanted to do. and right now, the capitol has popular committees composed of civil isians but mostly supporters. the majority of people are happy because the

ever the first time they have electricity for a couple of days in a row. reassuring the people that he wants to fight for equality -- for justice. and so he announced his enemies to be a q. a.p., and he also declared that he is not happy with the role in the government. whether this is retraite or he plans to do that. and that's -- they came can into the city and captured the capitol. and then after they captured the capitol, they present the dend mas and now it is -- we are not sure whether they are going to go back or whether they are going to actually just want a share of the government. >> i want to broaden out this issue a little bit. and look at the bigger picture here.

now some analysts have alluded to the fact that there is regional meddles in yemen. can you expand on that for us. >> i mean that's been happening for a while. so the hougthi movement is originally as they deem a movement that has transformed and become something else. a lot of the hooty fighters are said to have gotten some training of some sort in iran, we don't have evidence of that actually taken place, but we expect they go to lebanon, and then from lebanon they would enter to iran. if they actually copy and are monitors and trained by the iorannians.

they all have high stakes in this transition, a lot of countries the u.n. was supervising the national dialog that was supposed to take the country from the revolution towards it's transition. and transitional government to a more stable federal state. obviously the national dialog concludes that it was march 2013 to january 2014, the die lock was declared successful, and the outcomes were announced, however, it is very obvious that nobody respected that deal or took it seriously. >> we will have to leave it there, thank you very much for your incite. bloger from yemen. >> we move on and hong kong students have rallied outside the head quarters protesting against the decision to restrict electoral reform. stults broke out when around 20 students pushed through barriers and rushed to meet the leader. the protests are part of a week long schoolboy cot. in august, beijing ruled out open nominations.

welcome back to the news hour. the u.s. and five of it's arab allies against the group known as the islamic state. the fight against isil is not america's alone. the president is promising to restore state authority after hougthi rebels took control of several key areas. the rebels have been celebrating the gains they have made by raiding the homes of tribal figures. they have been scuffles in the west bank after the shooting of two palestinians by the israeli army. israel accused them of abducting and killing three settlers in june. >> let's get more now on the air strikes inside syria, right now we are joined with a former deputy prime minister of jordan, he join us now,

thank you very much. for being with us, some are saying this is not jordan's war, in fact, many fear the possibility reprisal from isil, or it's sympathizers, explain to us why has jordan decided to join this coalition against isil? well, thank you. this has to been the arab people who are -- bier the end of the day, isil is on our borders. it is killing arabs and muslims in iraq and syria, and causes a serious threat to the rest of us. i think the threat would have been much greater if we not do anything about it. and if we left isis to grow and pose an even bigger threat. so it is the whole arab and muslim war, it is the war to protect islam and the national interests of jordan and of the rest of the region. >> it has been said, though that air strikes are not enough to defeat this organization.

isil -- there is a need for combat troops on the ground. is jordan prepared to send it's troops to iraq or syria to fight. >> well, i e'm not privy to this kind of information. what i know for a fact is that jordan is committed to the fight against terrorism. that it does see icy as a threat. and as such, it sort of grows up to the responsibility, and took part along with other arab countries in this. the most important thing, on this war, is that it is a war that being fought by the ire rabbs, for the arabs. and you are right, the bombardment, and even troops alone are not going to completely destroy. they could probably destroy it as an organized military, but i think the battle and -- should be fought on other fronts.

particularly on the political front. politically, we have two issues, iraq where we have to make sure the new government does not have the politics of the spread recess tor, and therefore convinces that it is a government by them and for them, and most importantly, we have to see a political solution to the situation, because unless we do that, isis will be able to infill strait to the civil war, and to other areas and probably with this problem a year or two from now. i think -- this is the war the front of the war that's more important, and that only arabs and muslims can fight. >> now i want to stay with the air strikes that have happened, within the borders of syria, now, it seems that the arab members of this particular coalition, are the same nations that are being pushing for regime change in syria. do you think we are about to see these current operations extend to attacking the president asaad's forces in.

>> again, ultimately, we are not going -- unless we find a solution to the syria issue. everybody knows now that asaad and the head of the regime should go. i think some creative thinking is needed to see how we can offer a political solution that prevents syria from falling further into civil war. if we are wise about it, and we don't want to fight another war with terrorism, everybody needs to work together to find a solution to the problem to the crisis in syria, and that would take really for all countries to revisit probably their policies in terms of what kind of forces they have been aligned with and what kind of action they have been taken to fight the regime. there a's no question about isil being a killer, that syria cannot continue. but we also need to learn from the what has happened in the defense that a lot of the

organizations that initially got some support from some countries in the region, are now providing the man power supplied to isis. so i hope this war will bring about a revisitation of the whole approach, with a view again to ensuring a political solution that puts this crisis to an end. >> sir, thank you so much for your incite, we will let you go now. the former deputy prime minister of jordan, speaking to us from abu dhabi. and u.s. sek is tear of state, with all the help that america has they will win the fight against ice sal. is is is is is is is. >> there are challenges ahead, be but way are going to do what is necessary to make it clear that terrorism, extremism does not have a place in the buildingful

civilized society, and we will work with our friends there from iraq to make sure their choice to move forward in a democratic and viable way, will bear fruit. and be supported by the international community. >> our congress respondent is in the front lines and she has more from the crossing on the iraqi border. >> the kurdish fighters in this camp, just north of the crossing say they think they have been a direct result of the air strikes on monday night. they say that they have orders not to fire on the isil fighters just a kilometer away from them here, but they are also seeing during the course of tuesday that they haven't taking any incoming fire. it is a stagnant front line, what they are not sure if this will continue. the general who is in charge of this whole area, spoke to his opposite member on the syrian side, who told him there were two key areas that were hit overnight on monday.

the main oil to be that was hit, they say about 30 times and a town just outside of the border area, not far from here, but on the main road coming to the border crossing. >> what they don't know is whether these air strikes will have a long lasting result. they often see a fire fight at night here, they are waiting to see whether tonight the fighting ensues once more. >> syrian refugees are pouring across the border into turkey, threing the advance of isil. turkey says around 130,000 have arrived in the last three days. they are being placed in temporary shelters. stephanie is on the border between turkey and syria. close to where the air strikes have been taking place. it is a very difficult situation here, they are bringing a gentlemen on the stretcher from the other side of this opening. this is a makeshift

medical center. but the people do okeep on streaming in the kurdish town is just a couple of hundreds meters away. people will get processed where their details are taken, they are checked for medical conditions and then taken to other points. a lot stay with families or makeshift shelters. but it is incredibly difficult, people are petry fied of the advances and also when they get here, they don't know what the future holds. one family says i don't know why we came, because we don't know where to go from here. and this, of course, is the conflict that has been going on for 3 1/2 years and many people don't know when they will be able to go back home. we have just moved further down from that crossing point. to show you the geography, this is the town right behind me. ten you can see how close it is to the turkish border, that also

highlights turkey's concern about isil and their push, they already control over 100-kilometers of border, if they took this town, you can see just how close they would be. israel's government has been ordered to shut down a migrant facility within 90 days. thousands of people are seeking asylum, but say their rights are being violated. and despite the high court decision, many are uncertain about their future in israel. >> he is brought from dufour to libya. the your honor isn't over. because israel's government labels him and other migrants like him as infill traitors. >> i knew that israel -- is a democratic country, and that allow uhed me to stay here. in the kind of protection

when the problem will finish in my country. >> among the 50,000 or so mostly african migrants believed to have entered israel over the border with egypt. it is now blockenned with a barrier fences cameras and radar. many who made it across the border were kept here at the detention center, in the southern dessert. the government insists that it is an open facility, not a jail. but those say it is far away from people, and opportunities, and checking in three times a day makes things worse. israel's high court of justice has ordered to close the facility within three months. but until it is shut down, some 2,000 detainees will have to check in twice a day. the ruling it is the second time controversial migrant laws have been struck down by the court. and the got in nearby towns aren't happy with

the select. >> i think this decision is essentially wrong. the migrants will do whatever they want in this place. yesterday's decision is simply one big crime to the residents of israel, they are making a big mistake. the parliament brought a much more strip gent law into effect, it allows individuals that entered legally to be detains without trial. >> the interior minister -- think of a new policy to tackle this since their policy and their intention is to make the life miserable for africans. >> migrants escaping war say their treatment in israel violates basic human rights. but many like him, want to be accepted as refugees. and not be called infill traitors. >> al jazeera continues to demand the release of it's journalists imprisoned in egypt. peter greste, ba mohamed,

and mohamed fahmy have been detained for 359 days. greste and farmmy each received a seven year sentence, mohamed received an additional three years for having a spent bullet in his pocket. which he had picked up from a protest. all three are appealing against their convictions. the united nations says as many as 10,000 children in central african republic have been recruited as soldiers. and that at least 28 of them were killed in the past three months. reports from ban gi there is hope for child fighters that manage to escape. >> one christian armed fighters attacked her neighborhood, her husband and six children escaped to cameroon. she was heavily pregnant, so she stayed to have her baby. she was hidden and protected by her christian neighbors.

it was that generosity that persuaded her to accept these former child soldiers who are christian, into her home. >> i saw the state the kids were in. they had lost theirn't parents and didn't have family here. i had to ride against the odds so i wanted to give them a chance as well. >> these children didn't just lose their families, they also lost their innocence. >> i saw my father's throat being cut. my mother and i ran for refugee, i was stronger than her, and she told me to just keep going, i heard gun shells everywhere, and as i turned back, i saw she had been hit by a bullet, i kept running until i was lost. then thank god i met this boy, and a group of anti. i had to team up with them, i also fought among side them in the bush. >> in the past year, the u.n. has managed to

surround 1500 young peep. but there are thousands more still living with the rebels including the mainly christian anti. some children are forced into arms groups and others join because it is the only way to survive. the children's sun say they need to be in school, because it gives them security, a routine, and a chance of a normal life. >> the u.n. wants to get 600,000 children back into school, by november. >> they need training, they need all the activities for their community. and then to have a new life, as a child. rather than being in group. >> laurie says her family can't return, until it is safe again for muslims. so she focuses on bringing up these children. in these trouble times the story gives some a sense of hope. four people from different religion and ethnicities have become one family.

finding comfort and peace, in each other. al jazeera, bang gi. >> the greek prime minister says his country will not need another financial rescue uh. greece has relied on two bail louts and emergency taxes. but despite the news, many greeks are not con can vinceed that the hard times are about to end. george is an engineer. his work is essential p l to national security. but the government has rewarded him and his wife, a high schoolteacher, with a 40% drop in income during the crisis. even the modest subsidies that help them raise their nine children, have fallen. recently announced tax cuts will cheapen heating oil by 12 cents a litter

but it still will almost tripple the precrisis cost. >> we will spend a third of winter in serious without heating. we rely on small stoves, gas stoves to heat our family. so we don't expect some relief from this. they say the numbers are changing -- i don't know, the numbers may prosper, but the people are miserable. that's the truth. >> emergency taxes have held greek government revenues remain largely unscathed, but as an unemployment rose to 27%, they placed a greater burden on fewer people. the government is on track to double this year to about $8 billions but taxpayers are struggling to keep up that performance. they now owe the government a record $92 billion. and that figure is growing by $1 billion every three weeks. >> much of this revenue pays the interest on the

debt, now worth almost half a trillion dollars. the taxpayer association says greeks cannot pay off such an expensive debt, and support an expensive state. >> we can't put all the emphasis on state revenues. we need to stress economy, we need a more efficient state. people keep telling me they don't mind paying high, thats as long as they get something for them, look at education and health, people end up paying out of pocket. >> the association wants the government to cut it's costs and have a bigger surplus with which to pay off the debt. instead it says the government is borrowing new money, and passing on the malaise to future generations. >> schoolboy has been mauled to death by a white tiger at a zoo in india. zoo officials say the boy jumped inside the an ma's enclosure, despite being told by security guards not to.
