protests. >> well into the night, sens of thousands of tro theftors it's something that evolved, numbers grew, there were cop tron stations. teacher pray was used, gas ma s masks. that continued, but we saw something for the first time. the use of tear gas by police, pushing protesters down the channel. around that time, it's interesting, the father of a democratic movement saw the protesters before the tear gas was fired. >> reporter: when you say you are win, what do you mean the movement is winning? >> people power. police tried to block them. they are calm, peaceful. we have been saying that this is

a movement for piece and love. in the early evening, something we hadn't seen before. in most cases the confrontation pushed back, but on a bridge in the central part, we saw something interesting. a lot of protesters sat in the middle of the walkway. police in riot gear were coming up. what we saw around the area where the government said, they unfurthered the sign, and the confrontation ended with the police backing done. what will be interesting - this is the center part of the city, the big financial industry and banking industry, what will happen with tens of thousands of protesters, what is the police going to do, and what will monday morning look like.

foul of the international religious freedom account sanctioning fileations of religious region. now he's feted by 18,500 of the u.s. indian community and political and corporate leaders. he basked in their adulation on a revoeling statement. >> translation: we should join hand for our mother india and do all you can. long live mother india. >> the speech was beamed live. those that failed to secure tickets gathered. >> he is very popular in the young indian population. >> as chief minister, narendra modi did little to stop the murder of 1,000 people in 2002. >> i'm happy.

we have real issues to discuss and deepen. economic ties. when it comes to human rights. it's not all adulation. at least 1,000 protesters gathered. he shouldn't be treated like a rock center, but a criminal. >> hindu seeks and muslims were represented as well as civil rights and antiwar groups. >> the red carpet rolled out for him raises concerns amongst you us, we have a strong pro justice position, and the type of atrocities, shadows that have been following prime minister narendra modi since he was the chief minister of gugarat. these are concern for us. >> some suggest the adoring crowds were representative of india's wealthy and not the poor

majority, those that were harmed by deregulation and privatisation. >> they are the ones that have been in front. >> from new york, narendra modi travels to washington d.c. to meet with political leaders and president obama. it's clear a u.s. establishment is opening its arms to narendra modi. >> later in the programme we look at current relations between the u.s. and india as narendra modi visit the united states. that's in "the week ahead". . >> now for the latest developments in it fight against i.s.i.l. u.s.-led forces carried out three air strikes in the northern syria province of raqqa. it comes as kurdish forces tried to halt the advance in the north. more than 140,000 syrians crossed into turkey to nee the fighting there. stefanie dekker has the latest from the turkish-syrian border.

>> reporter: the town of kobani is nestled across the border from us in turkey. it's been a quiet day, i say relatively. shells landing, fired by i.s.i.l., there were injuries, but in the last few hours, we heard more military ability, we heard heavy weapons, and a couple of loud explosions, and we have responsibling to sources with the ypg, the fighters that are protecting the area. they seem to be firing artillery from the hill towards the west. i.s.i.l. has three blanks here, the we were side is where they are closest. 2km. at its most. 12km, around 10-12. humanitarian impact has been enormous, over 150,000 had to flee into turkey, and they at the moment will tell you that it's a difficult situation, and

they are terrified of the advances. i have to tell you kurdish fighters have been able to keep i.s.i.l. back from reaching the down. stefanie dekker in an interview with 60 minutes televised a short while ago, president obama underestimated the strength of i.s.i.l., and overestimated the strength of its allies. >> i think the head of the intelligence community jim clappers acknowledged that i think they underestimated what had taken place in syria. >> he didn't just say that we underestimated i.s.i.l. he said we overestimated the ability and the will of our allies, the iraqi army to fight. >> that's true. it's absolutely true. and... >> and these are the people we expect to carry on the fight. >> well, here is what happened in iraq. when we left, we had left them a

democracy that was intact, and military that was well equipped, and the ability to short their own course. that opportunity was squandered over the course of five years, because the prime minister maliki was much more interested in consolidating his shia base and suspicious of the sunnis and the kurds who make up the other two-thirds of the country. >> national security advisor spoke and reiterated that the u.s. would not use ground forces too fight i.s.i.l. >> the president is clear, this will be a long-term effort. it will be takened and be more -- sustained and be more effective. >> critics say air strikes will not be enough to destroy the extremist groups. >> i think it will take more than air strikes to drive them out. at some point someone's boots

need to be on the ground, that's the point. >> americans. >> listen, the president doesn't want to do that. if i was the president i probably wouldn't talk about what i wouldn't do. maybe we can get enough of these forces trained to get them on the battlefield. >> if other faces are unable or unwilling to destroy i.s.i.l. the u.s. has no choice but to send its own troops into iraq. >> in is one of the main hubs in the country. >> we'll look at when things may get back to normal. the death toll grows in japan, as crews search for hikers on after the mt ontake eruption. and another look at hong kong. protesters camped out in the heart of the financial district.

protests began after candidates for the 2017 elections needed approval from china.

welcome back, it is morning in hong kong where protesters are camped out in the heart of the financial district. you are looking live. let's talk about the situation in hong kong. protesters are not happy about changes to the 2017 upcoming elections. joining us now is sophie richardson, the china director at human rights watch. thank you for being with us. is it safe to say that the protesters had some does satisfaction with the government for some time? >> i think it's an understatement. i think a lot of reaction we have seen in the last 48 hours is - yes, the core about this decision about who gets to nominate candidates. it's really a much broader set of complaints. potentially about whether people in hong kong do get to have a say in and have control over

issues in hong kong, or whether that power is essentially shifting to beijing. >> what do you make of the reaction from the government, and the sites that we have seen of tear gas thrown at protesters. >> the central government reaction is predictable and alarming to hear some of the authorities, the chief executive using the language that the chinese authorities use, that everything will be done by the rule of law. it's a concern to see police in riot gear, using tear gas and pepper spray on protests that have, for the most part, seemingly been peaceful. >> will the pro-democracy movement sway the government. do you think we'll see reform? >> it's hard to see beijing backing down at this point in a significant way. what they really don't want is

anybody on the mainland organising demonstrations, forcing that change. i think they'll have to offer piecemeal change in order to mitigate the protests. they may thing to themselves if they behave differently over the summer with some of the decisions, they may not face the situation they are facing now. >> what do you make. international community's response, of the situation in hong kong. >> it's unclear why there hasn't been a response. many governments jump in quickly to express concerns about what is happening to demonstrations. i don't want to rule out the possibility that perhaps they have information that is leading them down to a different conclusion. under normal circumstances, we would expect governments like the u.s. or the u.k. to express concern about the escalating

tensions. it's not clear why that hasn't happened. >> sophie richardson, you'll follow the situation with us. thank you for being was. >> thank you. let's talk about the fall out from a fire at an air traffic control center. there are hundreds of delays after flights were cancelled in and out of chicago's airport. an employees set equipment on fire and cut years at a control center. frustrated passengers spent the weekend trying to get out of midway and o'hare. >> all because of one person, it's infuriating. it's sad that it took there, but it's so frustrating when it impacts so many people. >> it's the united states. it's causing trouble over the country, you know. people trying to get etch, and o'hare is one the main hubs in the country. it's a scary thing, isn't it.

>> howard was charged with destruction of aircraft facilities, which is a felony. he could face 20 years in prison. police are looking for two suspects that shot and wounded a police officer. it's not related to the unarmed shooting of a teenager. still it upsets a tense community keel christopher gibson has more. >> reporter: there has been more gun fire and ferguson. the two incidents took pleas in parts of up to not connected with the protests over the shooting of michael brown, and don't appear related to that case, but they add to the tension in the city. a ferguson police officer was shot. the officer fired several shots, but there was no indication that he hit either suspect. the injured officer was taken to a st louis hospital and is expected to recovering.

overnight plaintiffs another incident, an off duty police officer was shot at while driving in his car, and suffered injuries from i don't know glass. president obama spoke at the black congressional caucus. brown's parent were in attendance. >> in too many communities around the country a gulf of mistrust exists between local residents and law enforcement. too many men of colour are targeted by law enforcement. judged by stereotype that fuels fear, resentment and hopelessness. on friday the police chief, who has been pressured to resign issued an apology in a video statement to the brown family. >> i'm sorry for the loss of your son, and sorry it took so long to remove brown from the street. >> i wouldn't talk to him.

i don't want words, i want action. >> an a grand jury several weeks away from deciding will darren wilsons, the white officer who shot michael brown, will face criminal charges. protests will continue until arrests are made in the case. it's clear that it will take more to ease the distrust between the community and the police. tonight pennsylvania investigators are looking for a survivalist charged with killing a state trooper two years ago. the search for eric frein entered its 60th day. the wood where he's hiding may be booby tacked. he's described as a marksman, he planned the attack for years. he started by killing brian dixon and injuring another trooper. undocumented citizens can

enjoy many benefits, but undocumented teen edgers cannot access aid to college. in this week's "edge of 18', we are introduced to a student who can't afford to continue her education. >> people say i don't belong here. this is where i grew up. had is my country, i'm american too. i feel like teen terio fine what being -- people stereotype of what being undocumented means. my parents came to the u.s. for a better life and to give me a better future. >> as far as being undocumented. it makes my situation difficult. i don't qualify for federal aid. i applied to selective out of state schools that are private. >> officially she is not here in

some fundamental way. yet she is here. and she's striving to make it work and reach beyond the expectations of her parents. some of the parents of the kids in this series want to keep them too close and are not letting them fly. >> the whole point of me coming to the country was to do good, to do good on my own. i almost feel like they don't see the big picture. >> i feel like i'm going to be stuck here forever. i got rejected from my dream school, and i only plied to one other school. i'm worried i will not get accepted. >> new plan as of now, i'm planning not to go to school. >> the problem with that is when you take a break, that's the end of the schooling. as smart as you are, if you get the college education, you can

make it. >> i have know intention of not going to college. >> i feel you can't teach creativity or taste. >> kyle is an up and coming wrapper, i'm a part of his crew. i perform with him, the most awesome thing yet. in my field, you don't need college. either you are born or not. >> i am also wanted to run the blog and instagram, i'm a videographer, and creative director. >> it takes a huge level of courage. you really can't let anyone sidetrack you and you can't be afraid to take issues. >> i'm going to make it happen. once again, we invite you to

catch edge of 18 at 9 eastern on al jazeera. taking you back out we.. crews are making progress to containing a wildfire. it is 87% contained, up 3% from yesterday. about a dozen homes and 70 structures have been destroyed. kevin joins us with a look at the forecast. the weather plays a factor. >> absolutely. we are looking at a big broad area of low pressure, all the way from california to the west. that's bringing relief for the fires, and bringing flooding, unfortunately for parts of the south-west. you can see the area of low pressure. it's spinning counterclockwise across much of the area. i want to take you and show you what it looked like yesterday in terms of flood warnings in the area. this is what it will look like on the ground. as phoenix, over two inches of

rain in a short period of time. power outings was a main problem. >> this is what we looked like 24 hours ago. no doubt when the water hit the mountains, that's when we saw a lot of flash flooding going on. things have cleared up. we have no warning except towards idaho. everywhere else we looked at has cleared out. that is what we are seeing over the next couple of days, monday we look at clear skies to the south and rain to the north. that will continue. the area will be light. light across parts of utah and colorado. if you have been in the north-east, it's been beautiful. textures have been above average. as we go towards tomorrow, the

temperatures staying above formal. for new york and boston, looking like 74 degrees. maybe a shower here on tuesday, things are looking nice. if you want to see the foliage, it has begun. you need to go to northern new england or here to minnesota. that is where it is. we think southern new hampshire is going to parts of michigan. it's a nice time to go out for a drive. >> coming up on al jazeera, india's prom visits the u.s. and meets with president obama tomorrow. we look at the relationship between the u.s. and india. a test of the minorities - gay pride protests take to the streets of belgrade. and the final game of derek

jeter's career.

welcome back to al jazeera america, here are the top stories we are following, a live look. it is monday morning in hong kong. protesters are growingme. the aim is to shut the financial center. protesters angry at china vetting candidates for leader in 2017. president obama said his administration underestimated the power of i.s.i.l. and overestimating the ability of its allies. he made the comment in '60 minutes" interview. in chicago passengers are strapped and airports recovering after thousands of flights were grounded on friday. officials are calling an act of employ sabotage brought thousands of flights to a hament. brian howard was arrested after setting equipment on fire and cutting holes in the wires.

narendra modi, indian prime minister, will visit the white house for talks about narendra modi. the prime minister will attend the u.n. assembly and address a crowd of 20,000 americans at madison square gardens in new york. over the years the relationship between the u.s. and india has been bumpy. in the past decade it has grown stronger. we begin with this report from ali velshi. >> narendra modi's visit with president obama is one of several important its on his agenda. narendra modi's handpicked several c.e.o.s. prominent among them goldman sachs c.e.o., lloyd, g.e. c. this is a charm offensive to entice businesses to go to india. >> reporter: india's narendra modi is a man on a mission. elected on a promise of better days for the indian economy.

he knows he can't deliver out building ties with american business leaders. >> narendra modi is hoping to change the perception of india as an economy that has low growth and structural problems. he wants to shift the perception to the notion of india being a dynamic economy, with strong prospects for growth and a fertile ground for u.s. investors. >> it's an attractive sales pitch. home to 1.2 billion and a middle class on the rise, it represents a fast-growing market. consumer spending is expected to quadruple from 1.1 trillion in 2013, to 4.2 trillion in 2023. with the potential is concerns about the country's legendary bureaucracy. disregard of intellectual property rights.

>> there's a degree of concern among american pharmaceutical manufacturers, that the indian pharmaceutical manufacturers violate patent, creating generic versions of drugs by reverse engineering drugs produced by american manufacturers, and selling them cheaply, not just in the indian marketplace, but widely. >> american manufacturers complain of protectionism. high import taxes restrict the flow of u.s. goods into india. u.s. investment is limited. everything from retail and e-commerce to real estate. despite the obstacles the prime minister scored a major coup. following a visit to new dell joy, secretary of self-defence chuck hagel announced the u.s. intent to coproduce billions of innedians arm and military -- indian arms and military

equipment, including the antitank missile provided by lockheed martin and others. it's a win/win. for narendra modi, the big win is with the private sector. convincing america's c.e.o.s that his country is prime for a faster economic growth is the first step in making his economic vision a reality. business leaders are not the only target. he is addressing a crowd of indian men's. it's a group with clout, one the prime minister is counting on. >> once again, the ties between the u.s. and india hadn't always been smooth. india took a peaceful stance, becoming a founding member of the non-aligned movement in the '60s. relations with washington suffered. over the past couple of decades,

the two nations found common ground and are cooperating on between managers, doing that whilst maintaining ties. in washington and new dehli, they have created financial ties to counter the economy. prime minister narendra modi is looking to solidify the cooperation. despite the election victory this year, narendra modi is a controversial figure. 2002, when he was chief minister, anti-muslim riots left more than 1,000 dead. narendra modi, a hindu nationalists was accused of doing little to stop the killing. for more, we'll bring in the senior program officer at the asian policy institute. and a senior associate from south-east asia at the woodrow wilson center. this comes at a pivotal time on international matters. what is at stake?

>> what is at stake is prime minister narendra modi and president obama have an excellent opportunity to take a relationship that is at a good footing and reenergyize the relationship, taking it forward. what will be key and discussed in the next few days is you'll have both signalling that the economic relationship will drive the bilateral relationship forward. you will not get a large announcement. but both will repriororities. >> from a counter perspective, how important is this relationship? >> it's critical. despite differences and disagreements, india and the united states sees similarly when it comes to terrorism and what to do about it, particularly in south asia, i think with u.s. forces, with most u.s. forces withdrawing from afghanistan this year,

there'll be strategic space that will open up and allow the united states to focus on getting the matter on track. that will include security cooperation. >> how does india stack up as a regional power. >> india is making an effort to raise its role in both the region, and after - during the swearing in ceremony, he invited the leaders of the south asian association for regional cooperation and is having an effort to have india be a leader bringing together the region. on the issue of afghanistan, prime minister narendra modi, and president obama will have to be on the right page. how does the u.s. benefit from india being a regional power. >> both the u.s. and india feel

similarly about the rise of chip e and its clout dlout the region. the -- china and its clout. india serves as a counter balance to china's increasing presence and influence throughout the region, the question is whether india agrees with that. they think that china - its rise and clout in the region is something to be confirmed about. i'm not convinced that narendra modi. who has talked about support, it's unclear if narendra modi will do that, and push back against china, that may be a wake up call to washington. we are talking as far as energy concerns. across the bored. i mean, there are so many ways that the u.s. and india can try to support each other. and do things in terms of cooperating. energy is one of those areas,

and you talk about the united states having a lot of reserves and shale gas, and there's talk about now that can be a big cooperation point. india is a country that has a tremendous need for energy, given the population, economy and the like. >> do you meal mr narendra modi is -- feel mr narendra modi is ready to take the leap? >> i think he is. this is important for narendra modi. he started in japan, he got a commitment that that visit went well. he had president xi jinping in india, and now is in the u.s. president obama, for this reason has a great opportunity to make the u.s. the best on this momentous trip that people are watching. >> narendra modi has done a good job of placing india in a position that president obama can set a partnership. >> narendra modi - he has an

incredible following and support. i wanted to listening to what he had to say at madison square gardens in new york. >> translation: india has a lot of opportunities, i have recently launched an initiative. i invite the world and everyone sitting here. i invite everyone to participate. >> what do you think sets them apart. indians - he got an incredible reception. he hasn't had a leader that speaks, and i think a lot of people on social media aspire to. the personnel story, becoming the prime minister speaks that story, he's a symbol of india's ambitious to be a greater mare

on the world stage. >> when we talk about the economic benefits, talking about security, what role do you see as far as the u.s. troop withdrawal playing with the relationship. >> it can go either way. >> i think he's uncomfortable about the fact that the united states will withdraw so many troops, and according to the president obama duration, almost all of it is together by the end of 2016. i think india worries about a lot of things. troops will decide that they'll leave afghanistan and focus the attention on india. a lot of militants are pakistani. with u.s. forces leaving, there's concern that militants will have an opportunity to refocus attacks, relaunch attacks on kashmir and india.

i think india is worried about that. at the same time new delhi is encouraged in thinking, as i said before, that this could create a strategic space for washington to engage india in a way we haven't seen. then when the backa admission came to pour, it took tension away. i think troops leaving afghanistan, it will create space and opportunities for the countries to re-engage. your thoughts before speaking of the economic ties. a country we have not subpoena about. is pakistan. india is very worried that grow

unavailable. we have seen in the past few months that the current prime minister, nawaz sharif is losing legitimacy, and i hope that the prime minister will come into power, there may be a change, and india and pakistan can have talks. now that is not going to happen. instability in pakistan will be something that they'll talk about. >> do you think it will shift the relationship. what is interesting is when president xi jinping visited india, he didn't go to pakistan. you'll see south asia and how people in the world look at it. you'll see a shift to india. the u.s. has been there, early on that. but we need to keep the focus

going. taking a look at the numbers showing economic cooperation, washington has given new delhi more than 9 million, and security systems since attacks on september 11th. u.s. indian trade in goods and services is at $115 a year. studies show that u.s. investment in india is at about 2 million. and indian companies boosted employment by invested $17 million through 68 different companies. >> from an economic stand point. how important is the relationship with india? >> well, it's critical. the trade volume is significant. it's grown. yet i think it could grow more. i think that narendra modi is the one that can bridge us to that point. it casts itself as different from politicians of the past, who ruled in recent years, and represent an ossified dine aftic

class that is interested in business as usual. modi things of himself so differently. what he did in gujarat, in terms of infrastructure projects, getting rid of red tape, those things. he claimed it's ambitious, but he'll take that and transfer it across india. it's encouraging for investors who are keen to get into india and invest. it's been extraordinary, the red tape. narendra modi says the rite things and talks about red carpets, not red tapes. it remains to be seen what he can do. he is the one that can propel the economic relationship beyond where it is today. >> you bring up a good point. are businesses optimistic with modi. too optimistic. there was a sense before the election for some of the reasons

that michael mentioned. his campaign, he basically campaigned on good knorchance and economic growth. he subjected that there would be economic forms on the way. we haven't seen that material. the budget. there were no bold economic reform statements that were a port of the budget that came out. i think the direction is going to be there. we'll have to be a little patient. what will be important, and what will be discussed, i think, with president obama in the meeting is infrastructure investment. investment in infrastructure. prime minister narendra modi, what he did was attracted investment from other countries, and that's his goal. >> in our final moments, what will be the take away in the meeting with president obama and narendra modi. >> i don't expect much of

suspense. the main idea is to get -- substance. the main idea is for them to get to know each other and that they mean business. the fact that narendra modi accepted the invitation to come to washington after the business about the visa ban. above all, it's meant to symbolize a new start. you said before that the relationship has grown. it suffered a lot of problems and pitfalls in the lat few months. having the meeting is meant to signify that the leaders are ready for a new start and will bring better and greater things. this is a honeymoon period. narendra modi is new in power. there's festering tensions. this is meant to be a symbolic thing more than anything else, both sides are ready to move on. we'll have to wait and see. michael at the woodrow wilson

center. good to have you with us, gentlemen on the week ahead. >> before wrapping up, let's look at other event. tuesday - china's foreign minister visits washington for talks with secretary of state john kerry. wednesday - the haj pilgrimage. n.a.t.o. secretary rasmussen steps down from his position, and will be replaced by the former norwegian prime minister jens stohlen berg. coming up. search for survivors in japan after a volcano erupts. chevy's corvette commits crimes in several state - we explain when we come back.

hundred of firefighters and police are on japan's mt ontake

searching for survivors, 31 hikers have been confirmed dead after the volcano erupted without warning. rescue workers are trying to work injured and others. officials have not confirmed how many from on the mountain at the time of eruption. it is popular at this time of year. wayne hay has more. >> reporter: this is one the local government offices in the town of keeso, and where the family members of the victims of the eruption are coming to get an update and also from rescue officials about the situation on mt ontake and the rescue operation, as the victims family arrives, they are met by a large contingent of media. rescue officials said they had found a group of 31 climbers near the summit. all presumed to be dead.

four of those bodies were able to be retrieved. the operation had to be brought to a premature end. they were working close to the summit of the volcano, and the gas levels were too high. so the operation to retrieve the victims had to be brought to an end. that operation has resumed first thing on monday morning. security is tight in afghanistan ahead of the presidential inauguration. police and soldiers have been posted. that's where ashraf ghani will be sworn in on monday. his opponent agreed to a power sharing agreement in which he'll become the chief executive. tensions are running high after the bitterly contested race. a u.s. drone strike killed four fighters on sunday. the fighters were killed in a north-west tribal region near the border of pakistan and

afghanistan. a separate bomb blast killed eight people at a refugee champ. yemen security forces say a security bomber killed several people, east of the capital sanaa. an offshoot of al qaeda claimed responsibility for the attack. at the statement hundreds of yemenis demanded security forces take back the capital. they are yet to leave, despite signing a deal to include them in the government. for the first time in four years. hundreds of marchers took to the streets of belgrade for the gay pride parade. police were on hand after some groups threatened to disrupt the march. the parade was peaceful. hundreds carried banners proclaiming pride, peace, love. in 2010 marchers were attacked and the parade has been

cancelled every year since. now they are showing tolerance as they seek to join the e.u. france pilots are ending a strike. flights will be returned by the end of the week. negotiations are not over. >> reporter: planes are not in the air, they are not making money. air france has been haemorrhaging it for the past two weeks. $250 million is what a fortnight's crippling strike cost. more than half the flights were cancel. the skies quieter, the noise on the ground anything but. unions and pilots furious about what they call gross inequality. this is what has been fuelling the feud. the budget options, the rites of easy jet. ryanair, cut price carriers, as they expand the routes in paris. the national airline response

was to bolster its own offering, but the pilots do not get the generous salary, that is $100,000 to start, nor the meal allowances of their air france colleagues, and they were refusing to work until they did. on sunday, talks failed, but the snpl union which represents the pilots, agreed to call the strike off. saying the conditions of social dialogue were not met. but we decided to meet responsibilities by lifting the strike. >> essentially they are expanding the route network in europe. it's not so much that the long haul routes will be operated, but certainly some of the medium hall roots around europe itself will be. and that, again, is an issue that the pilots union is
