at the same time the chief executive made that statement and trying to encourage the protesters to leave the streets, in fact, the opposite took place. as you can see it's just packed here now for the last several hours, 3-4 hours, protesters have been flooding in to this area. this is an area that saw some tear gas overnight sunday to monday and some people slept overnight but it was sparse then in the early morning hours and now it's just packed. you see a lot of people wearing black, that is because a social media message went out through channels last night, sunday night into hours monday to wear black for the cause and obviously that has worked and people have come out in mass numbers and a lot of them are still students and there are university flags out here and the occupy central movement have embraced this and part of this and saying this is the first victory and the first stage is a victory for their movement. now again it's going to be very interesting to see what happens

over the coming hours and saw this many people the street last night and turned violent and tear gas fired and so far, early morning hours you saw some police tactical unit officers with guns that fired these tear gas rounds. they are no longer in site and have retreated or pushed back a little bit and not too many police here, all you see are predominant people wearing black supporting the cause. >> over the weekend the leader of hong kong said he will hold new constitutions on electoral reform. has there been any other reaction from the government? >> no, other than them saying that the protesters need to leave the streets peacefully, saying that it is blocking normal business from being taken out and also a safety and security concern but he has not said anything more for the demands and one of the main demands of the protesters is that he now resigns and has not

said anything along those lines and pretty much kept the line that he had over the weekend and that is constitutions for these elections will continue but it must be said these consultations and this process going on is not a backing down by the government because of what the protesters want, it started several weeks ago and no back down and no mention of these demands that protesters have by the government here in hong kong. >> scott, thank you. viktor is director of the beijing china international studies and says the protests are counter productive. >> when they went to china hong kong was in the system and people in hong kong enjoy democracy and have the right to protest and demonstrate therefore i think the current demonstrations are more or less a reflection democracy does exist in hong kong. around i would urge people in hong kong or do such

demonstrations and protests to do so according to law. they cannot do such protests and the demonstrations by violating freedom of other people who want to go to work and get along with their life in a normal way. therefore, i would say to do such protests by disregarding police warning and refused to d disbeers is counter productive and not good in hong kong at all. >> reporter: the fight of isil is ranging on with positions in northern and eastern syria, the u.s.-led coalition hit aleppo and two others and it's a gas factory were among the far gets, over the weekend air strikes attacked ail rekwien if is controlled by them and a control center hit and people killed in the northern syrian town and the

grain silos may have been thought was a silo base. barack obama admitted security officials under estimated isil, on an interview on u.s. television they did not realize how fighters from iraq would regroup in syria. >> i think our head of the intelligence community, jim clapper has acknowledged i think they under estimated what had been taking place in syria. >> he didn't say that just say that we under estimated isil. he said we over estimated the ability and the will of our allies, the iraqi army to fight. >> that is true, that is absolutely true. >> ashraf ghani has been sworn in as the new president and it's a historic day as this is the first democratic transfer of power in the country. ghani will head a unity

accumulation has meant that at times have had to abandon the search for bodies as a remote possibility of survivors. experts told the government they should expect this level of activity to continue for sometime and it's possible there could be another large eruption to the one seen on saturday. at that time there were hundreds of climbers on the mountain who were probably unaware there had been earthquakes and prior to saturday's eruption officials did notarize the alert level. >> translator: regarding the alert system we recognize the metrological agency had done what they can do to the limit of their capacity but it's obviously true we need to review the system to see what improvement is needed. >> at a local government office victim's family members have been arriving to receive up dapts about the search operation and the fate of the climbers and

welcome back, reminder of the top stories on al jazeera,

protesters joined the call for electoral reforms in hong kong and tear gas on activists overnight and are camped out in a busy financial district. activists say the u.s. led coalition hit four provinces in the fight against isil and a gas factory was among the targets and over the weekend air strikes attacked refineries and a command center was also hit. ashraf ghani is the new president in the first democratic transfer of power and will head a government following last week's power sharing deal with abdoullah, we will talk to the free and fair election of afghanistan and this swearing in comes six months after a long and bitter political distribute between ashraf ghani and abdoullah and can they work together and can the unity deal

overcome the challenges that lay ahead for the new president? >> i think so. well, today was a very important test for both of these individuals, both of these leaders tried to make sure that they agree on most of the agenda for the way forward and that was very much clear today both in the sense that people who participated in this inauguration felt the sense of unity and felt proud to be witness of what has happened for the first time in a very long and brutal history of this country. actually when you could look to the messages from both of the leaders, from president ghani and dr. abdoullah, the check executive both of them were confirming and affirming the commitment to the political deal they have signed but also to

cooperation. it's going to be a difficult path ahead. it's not going to be a very smooth way forward and anybody who can expect a smooth way forward may not have enough understanding of political developments of this country and other developing countries, but both of these individuals -- >> you say there are challenges ahead, what are those immediate challenges? the economy is in dire straits and let's talk about some of those challenges. >> reporter: the country has gone through a difficult time because of the elections and uncertainties surrounding the political development and political transition and economy as you say is in a difficult and challenging situation. security is a major issue still and these two individuals do have a huge task on their shoulders. but the first thing for both of them to operate in a very smooth environment and to make sure that they are focused on their

plans to implement them is building trust and confidence among each other. i think todd was -- today was the beginning of it and president ghani and what mr mr. abdoullah suggested yesterday and allowed it to happen today and it's beginning of cooperation. challenges, the first thing they need to sign the by lateral security agreement which is expected tomorrow to happen. >> this is a final question about the taliban, they described this deal, this unity deal as a u.s.-orchestrated sham, so where does this leave the taliban in terms of their inclusion and mission from the emerging political landscape in the country? >> reporter: well, at this stage it seems very much taking participation of people and both of the election and the very

warm welcome of the public of what has happened today. taliban, if they continue what they are doing will become an irrelevant actor in this entire process. i think they will continue the violence and if they continue the violence people will excel and continue to keep distance from them and see them marginalize. they do not speak for the public here. i think afghans reached the deal and the process of which people have voted to led to what has happened today and what we have, a peaceful democratic transition of power from one president to another, elected president and taliban need to view afghanistan and therefore come and join political. >> thank you for talking to al jazeera, thank you. now, at least 20 people killed in yemen in two separate attacks carried out by al-qaeda in the

arabian and the houthis are disarmed despite last week's peace agreement and security and livelihoods are at stake but houthi says it is calmer and more secure. >> translator: we are going through an extraordinary period and there is a huge political shift and the people feel safe despite the presence of weapons. the problem is not there are weapons but the mentality of those carrying the weapons. >> reporter: india prime minister given a rock star welcome in new york and grate greeted him at madison square garden and that is different from a man who once was ban from the united states and we report. >> reporter: just a few years ago he was denied a u.s. visa, the only person ever to do this of the u.s. freedom act that sanctions severe violations off religious freedom and that is

then and now greeted by over 18,000 people and corporate leaders, from a revolving stage he was talking about this. >> translator: we should join hands for india and do all you can for the land of your birth. long live mother india. >> reporter: the speech was being live in times square where those who failed to secure tickets gathered. >> it's excited and he will drive great changes and powerful in the young indian population. >> reporter: leaving behind allegations that the chief minister did little to stop the murder of at least 1,000 people in 2002. >> i'm extraordinary happy today. we have real subjective issues we have to discuss and deep enin economic ties when it comes to advancing women's right and

human rights and it's a good day to celebrate ties. >> reporter: at least a thousand protesters gathered outside madison square garden and say he shouldn't be treated like a rock star but a criminal. hindu and muslims were at the demonstration and civil right and antiwar groups. >> the red carpet being rolled out for him, this raises concerns among us. we have basically a very strong projustice position and the type of atrocities and shadows that have been following the prime minister since he was the chief minister and these are things that are of great concern for us. >> reporter: some said the adoring kraudz in madison square garden are representative of the wealthy and not majority and say they were being harmed by his policies of deregulation and privatization. >> we are the ones with the

children and come to america. >> reporter: from new york he travels to washington d.c. to meet with political leaders and president obama and it's clear the u.s. establishment is opening their arms to him and i'm in new york. >> reporter: he met israeli counterpart netanyahu in new york and the first meeting in decades and talked about strengthening ties on defense and trade and israeli is a major arms exporter to india. a former aid of ivory coast president is due to stand trial at the international criminal court later on monday, and he is charged with committing crimes against humanity after the 2010 elections and nicholas reports and many victims are calling for others to face justice too. >> reporter: torn between forgiveness and revenge and she was three months pregnant when a

it calls justice because none of the figures of the ruling party involved in crimes during post electoral violence have been arrested or face trial. in a statement the head of the opposition says there is clearly no political will to bring peace and stability to ivory coast. reconciliation is not possible. the people committed crimes continue to live side by side with their victims. but there has been no justice. as she remembers what happened to her lots of emotions run through her mind and she lost everything in the attack, her family, her unborn baby and ultimately her trust in society. nicholas hawk, al jazeera on ivory coast. a court in egypt acquitted more than 100 people of the out lawed muslim brotherhood and accused of violating protest u laws but students were sent to prison for the same offense and
