is. >> this is al jazeera america. live from new york city. i'm meaives, wit michael eaves. new details about the man who jumped a fence at the white house. it turns out he made it much further inside than we originally knew. and afghanistan's new president is sworn in, paving a deal to allow the united states troops to remain in the country past the end of this year.

thousands of protesters are on the streets of hong kong right now defying calls by the government to disperse. since 1997, hong kong has been a territory of china and operating under a policy of one country, two systems. residents of mainland china, groups say china is slowly taking those freedoms away. police use more than 85 rounds of tear gas, pepper spray and batons on protesters sunday. the number of people on the street continues to grow despite the police crack down. hong kong stocks have actua tum.

vulnerable to riot police once more. soon after dark on monday as the crowd swelled it became clear all the worrying now belonged to the authorities. at times a sea of illuminated cell phones. and then booing of the cy chong. >> one of the protesters say have yo you you heard the sing? >> the night before it was facing tear gas. on monday night, no gas, and hardly any police presence. >> given the fact they launched tear gas and you know pepper spray the past couple of days i think people are quite prepared for both. i mean they knew what to expect.

and they still have the courage to come out anden tel and tell e government what they want. hong kong people actually do want democracy. >> i think hong kong people grew up to another level, we are wanting to a real democracy tonight for our future. >> reporter: this night belonged to the protest movement. the next move is with hong kong and china authorities. rob mcbride, al jazeera, hong kong. >> a new report said the man who jumped the white house gates made it further into the building than thought. mike viqueria jins us from the whitjoins us from thewhite housl us about this latest information? >> you know startling is the

right word, we thought it was bad enough that this intruder got into the white house, two weekend ago. when the president and the first family had left for camp david. that's where we were originally told that omar gonzalez sprinted the fence, and went in the north portico, made it just inside. well it turns out it was much worse than that. he actually sprinted past an officer across the cross hauls or the grand concourse on the state hall there, took a left inside into the east room, the east room is sort of the all purpose room in the white house, relatively large room, holds press conferences and ceremonies

and the like, and was finally apprehended by secret service personnel as he was about to enter the green room which itself looks over the south lawn of the white house. a startling revelation. >> i've been to the white house a few times, you have been there yourself. just my personal experience, that seems a long way into a very secure facility to get before you are stopped. do you have any indication why when this initial report came out that we didn't know exactly how far he made it into the white house? >> it's really extraordinary. we are told he made it into the white house but we were obviously led to believe he was stopped shortly thereafter. there are a number of reasons, why were the dogs not released to take him down as he is running towards the white house across the lawn. the speculation is the dogs

don't differentiate among many of the officers who are also converging on an described they were chasing. the question was why weren't shots fired? that is fairly obvious, dozens of dozens if not hundreds of tourists are out there, if any of those shots missed, you are putting the public in jeopardy. we see a line of bicycle rack barricades moving out onto the sidewalk in effect creating a double barrier for the secret service to protect the white house. but make no mistake, this is a startling revelation. there are plenty of people who have very difficult questions to respond to. >> it's not enough that the story is not bad enough. he it comes as a sensitive time for the secret service itself does it not? >> various incidents have tarred the name of this organization i

should say that is often seemed to be beyond reproach. the obama administration, the indian prime minister prime minister state dinner was invaded by the salahis, and the new indian prime minister is here for a series of meetings as well, there was a prostitution scandal in cartagena, colombia. and over the washington post over the weekend, they sat on four days secret service supervisors and personnel did not think it was a shooting only found by the usher at the white house, the assistant usher who alerted the first lady, who was reportedly livid. a series of embarrassing

incidents over the secret service and the obama administration. michael. >> embarrassing, indeed, thank you michael. groups not affiliated with i.s.i.l. are denouncing air strikes. zena hoder is reporting from beirut. we apologize for that technical difficulty. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu today praised president obama for taking action against i.s.i.l. in iraq and syria. netanyahu compared i.s.i.l. to hamas, poisonous branches of the same tree. dire warnings about iran. james bays, has that story from the u.n. >> a hard hitting speech second week of the u.n. general assembly, last week was a jewish

holiday. he attacked president abbas but his main thrust was militant islam. >> leading states in the arab world increasingly recognize that together we and they face many of the same dangers. and principally this means a nuclear armed iran and militant islamist movements gaining ground in the sunni world. our challenge is to transform these common interests to create a productive partnership one that would build a more secure, peaceful and prosperous middle east. >> earlier i.s.i.l. was also mentioned by the syrian deputy prime minister and foreign minister when he spoke to the general assembly. in his speech he at any time

make much mention to the u.s. air strikes that have been taking place over a week now on syrian soil but did say this: >> translator: the syrian arab republic reiterates that it stands with any international effort aimed at fighting and combating terrorism and stresses this must be done within the framework of national sovereignty and conformity of international conventions. >> as the scientist general assembly meeting draws to a close, heads of state around the table deciding to take action on foreign fighters. president obama has built his coalition but there are members of the coalition with very different ideas on the strategy going forward. >> james bays reporting from the u.n. netanyahu also, since the

ceasefire human rights organizations say many palestinians are missing. some believe they hired smugglers to help them get into egypt. charles stratford has that story. also. >> reporter: a shout for help to find their missing family members. some people at this protest knew their relatives were going to risk their lives. to risk taking the smuggle tunnels into egypt. little they could do to stop them. >> i haven't heard anything for 12 days. i don't know if they drown at sea or where they are. >> it's believed around 60 palestinians drowned trying to get to urine on people smuggling boats in recent weeks. -- to europe on people smuggling brief. mohamed could be one of them. he said he paid simultaneously lers $2500 each to get to egypt

and beyond. >> the swaying is very difficult. the dangers are worth taking. i gave our passports to the smuggler. he said he would give us the necessary stamps and give us a call. he would go to egypt and then to alexandria to go to europe. >> he says the tunnel was more than a kilometer long. he said the earth around them suddenly shook and they were forced to turn back. >> translator: we heard a massive explosion in another tunnel close by. we were terrified. it was only then that we realized the dangers we were facing. >> al jazeera filmed this tunnel before the war. the israeli military has since destroyed many tunnels close to gaza's borders. bombed out buildings line the road to the egyptian border despite the israeli military's efforts to destroy all the tunnels people tell us here there are many still under these

farms and villages. behind me is the border crossing with egypt and it was somewhere close to here that mohamed climbed into a tunnel and risked his life for what he says would be a better future abroad. the only way for palestinians could go to egypt legally is with a work visa for another country or letting reason for medical treatment. >> we notice the people disappearing has increased towards the end of the war. the smugglers work as individuals, they are very difficult to catch. >> reporter: mohamed says he will never give up his dream of leaving gaza. >> translator: i will keep trying until i die, i'm sure of that. >> determined words for a young man desperate for a better life abroad. charles stratford, al jazeera, gaza. turkey has moved to secure its border reason as i.s.i.l.

closes in on kobani, i.s.i.l. artillery began landing inside turkey, i.s.i.l. took control of surrounding villages last week and are about three miles from taking over the town. stephanie decker reports. >> intensifying anger on the turkish side of the border. many kurds have come to protest, saying the government hasn't done anything to stop the assault. >> translator: we are protesting because i.s.i.l. and the turkish government are collaborating against our people the kurds. if kobani falls we will all take up arms to fight for it and we won't care about the turkish government. >> reporter: they were soon dispersed and some were injured. the security forces here are taking no chances in a border area that is already extremely tense. turkish security forces have now pushed the protesters right back

up that hill. they have managed to get them to the other side pushing them further and further from the border with kobani. mortar shells are landing here in turkey and as we were filming -- a mortar from syria lands just across the road from us. the turkish army has a heavy presence here but for now it has not responded. head a few kilometers east and you can see one of i.s.i.l.'s positions. it is this proximity that is worrying and angering many kurdish people. >> we are worried and fearful, many shells are landing close to here and the turkish shoulding respond. >> president recep tayyip erdogan should respond. change in military positioning for the first time. these turkish tas tanks are now

facing the town of kobani. stephanie decker, al jazeera, on the border with syria. hitting targets in syria zena hoder has more from beirut. >> oil fields along eastern and southern syria has been the target for air strikes. deny islamic state of iraq and the levant access to one of its major source he of funding. in doing so it is causing more suffering for civilians in this area. activists, tell us there is a shortage of fuel and prices have doubled. >> translator: this air strike are causing an economic cries. winter is around the corner and people need heating oil. most of the oil facilities are not operational. even those which vice president been hit. because people are scared -- which haven't been hit.

people are scared . >> it is not just this. the association for human rights says thing, coalition targeted grain stores. the grain provided food for the people. >> the military campaign has stopped the group from making more territorial advances but it is not clear what the coalition will do next. there is a consensus that a ground war will be needed to defeat the group. but who will fight alongside the coalition on the ground. syria's branch has declared war on the members of the coalition, the nusra front is not isolated from i.s.i.l. the association said it hit horasan. but saw it as an attack against

one of the most powerful groups. it is now warning other rebels not to become u.s. proxies. >> don't let the west and america take advantage of the oppression that i.s.i.l. has carried out against you as an excuse to join the other coalition because they want to destroy the jihadis in the region. >> many syrians in the rebel held territories agree with that. they have been taking to the streets criticizing for not taking the antiwestern coalition instead. activists report more than 20 people have been killed in the bombing raids. u.s. officials say they underestimated the strength of i.s.i.l. and this war may take years to win but already many syrians are saying those air strikes seem to be doing more harm than good. zena hoder al jazeera, beirut.

>> back here in the states, there seem to be hundreds of flight delays due to the chicago night center damage. lisa stark has the report. >> some semblance of order over the west. security procedures and contingency plans for emergencies. work is already underway to fix damaged chicago center but that is going to be a massive job, 20 of 29 pieces of communication equipment were destroyed, the faa says it could take until mid october to get chicago center back up and running. other air traffic control facilities are taking up the slack but hundreds of cancellations and delays still at chicago's o'hare airport. the good news is at nearby midway where southwest, is

centered, delays are minimal. >> all because of one person. it's infuriating. it's sad that it took this but it's just so frustrating when it impacts so many people. >> that one person, brian howard according to the criminal complaint, worked at the chicago center for about eight years. he had a security clearance so friday morning he just had to show his i.d. and swipe his card and went inside. once there he allegedly set fire to the equipment and tried to commit suicide by cutting his wrists and his throat. doug du durban is calling for changes to be made if necessary. >> lisa stark reporting.

brian howard will be held in federal custody without bond. he appeared in chicago court today for the first time since friday's arson incident. howard's attorney says he presents a danger only to himself. we'll talk to ali velshi about why investors are worried about hong kong demonstrations. this is al jazeera america.

>> the so-called umbrella revolution currently underway in hong kong is providing no shelter to investors. stocks took a tumble. "real money" always ali velshi joins us with more. ali, stocks down in hong kong, down here. but more specifically in america why are u.s. investors so troubled by what's going on in hong kong? >> well there are a few answers to this. first one is we see revolutions,

street activity in some places. you don't often see them in a major financial center removed from something like a g-20 meeting or olympics. there are reasons for protests, but to have protests ownership democracy in a world leading financial center, is disturbing. the dow ended up only falling about 42 points or a quarter of 1%. but earlier in the day it was down 179 points. michael when you look at a stock market down that amount without a real reason, others came in to buy though, when you sell that early in the day people who think it's not the end of the world come in. this is another reason for investors to worry about the general state of the world. there's lots to worry about russia, ukraine, i.s.i.l, and

the u.s., but hong kong is china. people have to remember that. that's the world's second biggest economy. it's been slowing down lately. that is more of a reason that investors were concerned rather than civil liberties in hong kong. the ali baba ipo, the e-commerce company that avoided going public in china, they have more rules there than here. but kind of a cloudy day will make people sell stocks for now. >> ali for sake of argument let's say these protests continue and have an adverse effect on china's economy. should we expect a reflection of that economy here? >> we depend on china's exports,

it is a net, it exports to us. growth in the consumer sector, people will buy things in china not just make things that can be shipped overseas. hong kong doesn't represent that part of china. it's a very prosperous place, they are net buyers of chinese made goods just like we are. there are things manufactured between hong kong and shen zen, about an hour away. for now it is an internal matter, hong kong is part of china and investors are flexing their musms off of hong kong. >> what's coming up on "real money"? >> how student debt is dragging down the health of the real estate market. how much a toll of student debt is taking on the ability of americans to become first time home buyers. the effect on the economy, we'll

be talking about that at 7:00 eastern. >> it's hard to take on a mortgage if you have a lot of student debt. >> that's right. >> thank you ali. hoping the hong kong protest will lighten. next how beijing is responding and we dive deeper into exactly what these protesters want. plus a new afghan president, paving the way for u.s. troops to be in afghanistan past the end of this year. coming up what that means for relations between the two countries.

>> welcome back to al jazeera america. i'm michael eaves. back to our top story. protesters in hong kong are calling for an end to the

chinese government, crowds continue to grow, that's the exact opposite of what china hopes to happen. adrian brown reports from hong kong. >> it's clear they think unnamed countries are behind the unrest. >> translator: we oppose any country that interferes with china's internal affairs. we also firmly oppose any country that supports the occupy central movement in any way. >> reporter: the student led protests in hong kong bring back uncomfortable me memories of wht happened 25 years ago when the occupation of 10men square ended in bloodshed. but what will china do if unrest worsens in hong kong where it has 6,000 soldiers? >> we don't need to go to the

last step. it is very, very pragmatic i would say in this process people in hong kong in my best judgment will come to the realization that peace and stability are more precious than chaos and instability. >> reporter: but is this another hint of government thinking? the article says china's armed forces could restore order in hong kong. it appeared on the website of the global times newspaper but has since been deleted. on the streets of beijing most people told us they were unaware of what was happening in hong kong. the few that did know say the protests have gone too far. >> translator: i think they have a legal right to protest but occupying the city center is too aggressive. there must be outside forces in charge of this. >> the photo sharing service

instagram has now been blocked. china hopes the protest it calls illegal will simply taper out expressing confidence that the hong kong authorities will contain the unrest and insisting it will never give in to the protesters demands. student in taiwan the island china considers as a break away province. mai lin jo spoke to al jazeera, insisting it must be important how it handles hong kong. >> not only hong kong, people of taiwan are watching. >> no one watching more closely than china's government. adrian brown, beijing. >> let's dive a little deeper with what the protesters really want. they have a clear series of demands by 2016, they want each

vote to have equal qua equal we, chosen by a so-called election committee right now, and so far the only concession beijing has given is to allow free elections but only of vetted candidates. two things china's communist government does not do very well. joining me is ann lee, adjunct professor at new york university. professor lee thanks for coming in today. >> thanks for having me. >> correct me if i'm wrong here but at the heart of these protesters we have cultural and political differences between hong kong and mainland china. how different are these two areas since 1997? >> so the real issue here is not just about democracy. but it's really an issue about trust. because if you look at how hong kong was run, before '97 it was

a british cloin. colony. they enjoy fewer rights under british rule than than under chinese. before they were british, they had no vote and no right to who was going to run the government there. so that actually giving hong kong a lot more rights than they used to have. they never had universal suffrage. the issue though is that when britain was running hong kong, they were willing to compromise with the hong kong citizens. so like when they said they were going to raise the taxes on transportation, for instance, and the hong kong citizens protested, the british government basically listened to them, compromised and basically said okay we will respond to your needs, by building more

schools and other housing, especially when there were a lot of refugees coming in from china during the cultural revolution. so they really won over the hong kong citizens because they felt that the british people had their best interests at heart. now since china has taken over, basically some of the hong kong people feared that they were going to have their freedoms taken away. and so when they started censoring some of the things that the journal was saying about china and all the criticisms were basically oh you know you shouldn't be publishing this, that instantly caused alarm and fear amongst the people there. this is why this issue has come to the fore because a lot of the folks don't believe that china is going to continue with some of the freedoms that they had enjoyed under british rule. >> so prior to 1997, less rights but more lines of communication

for negotiation, since '97 more rights but less negotiation from the officials in beijing? so all right i have a better understanding now. but if you're china and you accepted this agreement in 1997, one country, two systems, why would they be so opposed to a different system of political elections, in hong kong, if it's supposed to be two separate systems? >> well, they feel that they already are giving a lot of concessions to them. >> but they don't want to give any more. >> basically when they wrote the double law it was a delegation from beijing as well as the hong kong people put together the basic law that would govern hong kong for next 50 years. and some of these things they felt that they were honoring because they were saying well, look we're giving you general elections to elect the chief executive. you never even had this option before. and so they felt that they were already yielding to a lot of their requests and demands from

beijing's point of view. and they clearly feel that what hong kong is demanding is really extreme, because they will look at other democracies around the world and even the u.s. for instance. you know there are a lot of smaller more elite powerful intellectual groups that will have more of a say of which candidates run and so forth, right? because we can see of the dnc and the rnc, the people that run the parties there, clearly will show more influence as to who the candidates are. even people who want to be in presidential debates, there are many people that want to be on national tv to debate and they're not allowed to go on. >> right. >> so in already is a lot of vetting in -- so there already is a lot of vetting in many democracies including the u.s. so therefore it is not completely universal suffrage. and even when people say you know they can have the vote

counts but we could see even between bush vs. gore, gore had more popular votes but the supreme court decided it was going to go with bush. so here again you have a smaller group of people who were deciding, you know, the outcome of these things. >> let me ask you about money. from an american perspective, as much as we would love to see democracy, although you said it's not exactly about democracy spread around the world, the main concern for the average american has to do with money. there is so much tie with the economy of china, not only the economy but the debt that china holds from america. how does this, is it cause for concern for the average american today? >> i certainly think that's overblown. because yes hong kong is a financial center. but its economy compared to all of china is, you know, still very small percentage. and frankly, what happens with

some of these political decisions, i don't think, is going to necessarily lead to think kind of major economic slow down. we can see that china has not had democracy these last 20 years, and that has not stopped their economic growth. >> not at all. >> so i think that these are two separate issues. and so i don't think that investors should be overly concerned. i think their concern is that if the protests get out of hand like what happened in tienanmen square and businesses close then it might spiral into something that is unforeseen. but i think the chinese government had already learned their lesson back then and don't want to repeat that. >> ann lee, thank you ver thank. >> thank you. >> ashraf ghani was sworn in today after many months over

election results. >> protecting the rights and interests of the afghan people, ashraf ghani amhadzai is sworn in. ghani swore in his first and second vice presidents then a new job, chief executive to be filled by his former rival, abdalla abdalla. now they must work together in a unity government. abdalla says it will make the changes afghanistan needs. >> translator: based on the agreement of national unity government we are in a government for the sake of reforms. in all political and social sectors of the government we are together. afghanistan today needs national unity security and prosperity based on the agreement for national unity, economic development and administrative reforms. as required by the nation of afghanistan, we are committed.

>> reporter: ghani in his inauguration speech echoed, that the government will serve the people. >> translator: if we want to have a rule of lie the high level officials who are involved in corruption should be removed, so that we can have a transparent judicial system and for all those cases which are still pending, a committee should be formed to review them. >> reporter: and he promised a new type of relationship with international partners. the new president acknowledged his government has much to do and the job won't be easy. >> we have this big security challenges, we have a huge economic challenge that needs to be tackled immediately. but overall i think a rule of law is something that needs immediate attention. ♪ ♪ >> reporter: before the ceremony hamid karzai reviewed the presidential guard the last time as presidential leader and promised to help the new

government in his role as citizen. most everyone has been affected by the economic downturn and afghans confidence in leaders has been shane. new days ahead there -- shaken. >> the unity government can in fact work together. jennifer glasse, al jazeera, kabul. the white house says a deal with afghanistan to keep u.s. troops on the ground in kabul could come as early as tuesday. training and support role when the imalt mission ends in december. rosalyn jordan has more. >> reporter: the u.s. is finally getting what it has wanted in afghanistan. the imminent transition from a war time footing to a training-and-sport mission in that country. that's because on monday the inauguration of ashraf ghani in

that country took place. the u.s. is anticipating the imminent signature of a bilateral security agreement or bsa, it's also looking forward to a presidency in which they believe ashraf ghani will be better positioned to not only deal with the taliban as a destabilizing force but also try deal with the matters of corruption and trying to re store internal security in his country. -- >> other news around america, maria ines ferre is here. ines. >> michael. protests taking place even as police search for a suspect who shot a police officer on saturday in ferguson, missouri, officials say the officer's injuries are not life shoot thing, not related to the protests over brown's death. >> it didn't happen within the

it's important to students who feel they don't have a case, that they can't report it to the university. >> the new law says consent should be conscious and voluntary. it splaifn explains lack of prot means consent nor does silence mean consent. >> if you are drugged, too drunk to say no, there are a lot of situations where survivors don't say no or they've been coerced. >> but critics say the law is vague and impractical because it requires consent to be ongoing. >> what we're asking for is partners in a potential sexual relationship and a sexual encounter to get permission at each stage of the progression. meaning is it okay if i kiss you? is it okay if i touch you, is it okay if we go to second base, third base? it's kind of ridiculous. >> in this editorial the los angeles times wrote, it seems extraordinarily difference to

micromanage sex so closely. the schools now face the challenge of educating the students about the policy. >> you want to have sex with me? >> the university of denver made a video, that shows requesting sex could be sexy. others have divined sex on their websites. the basic idea is the same. >> shouldn't be that difficult to ask you know, three words, is this okay? and it really does make a huge difference. >> these changes come as more than 70 universities are under federal investigation for how they handle sexual assault complaints. they include the university of california berkeley and ucla. michael they say they are disappointed in one part of the law. they wanted the consent to be

that rule ban on marriage to be unconstitutional. increase of 15 percentage points are from just five years ago. >> the very thing that makes the supreme court more likely to take this, the pace of change is so quickly, also, make certain members of the supreme court wary of doing so. because they are aware that they are pushing social change on some people who are still very resistant to it. >> reporter: though they never expected to see it in their lifetimes lynn and bonny are preparing for the possibility that they may soon be able to send out invitations and walk down the aisle. >> i'm so blessed, not only to be able to be legally married to her, we've gotten our wedding bands and during the last period of time we became engaged. >> ash-har quraishi, chesterton,

journalism. this is an opportunity for americans to learn something. we need to know what's going on around the world. we need to know what's going on in our back yard and i think al jazeera does just that. >> now to our top story, back to our top story i should say. you're looking live at hong kong where pro-democracy protesters, are active. maria ines ferre is back with us on that story. ines. >> one of the protesters is samuel chew, one of the occupy central hong kong organizers. i talked to him earlier about

how these protesters are organizing. take a listen. >> social media only works if there's good organizing. people on the ground, culture that gets built up on the streets where people are and i think what you're seeing is really social media taking off because there is a very disciplined, strong network of connections on the ground. >> and a group of hong kong journalism students started a facebook page just to verify information for protesters, such as which street entrances to use and where to find first aid stations, they are documenting things like where to find food, water bottles and boxes of feed foodfood.people are picking up , recycling in some areas. university medical students, a sign pointing towards a first aid station and this woman here is signaling where to exit in
