protesters call off talks with the city leaders. we'll be live from there. heading back to the negotiation table - north and south korea resume formal high level talks. we begin this newshour with developments in syria and iraq. the syrian border town of kobani has been the focal point for weeks as radical fighters close in, driving thousands away. the syrian national coalition is warning of a genocide of the kurdish population. overnight u.s.-led coalition air strikes struck two targets, providing support for the kurdish fighters on the ground. the turkish government said this will not hesitate to protect troops guarding a shrine to the

otto man empire inside syria. tens of thousands of muslims flee violence in iraq and syria. we have reporters in iraq and turkey. monica is in erbil in northern iraq. first, let's go to bernard smith. he is on the syria-turkey border for us. bernard smith, firstly, what is the latest on the fighting in kobani? >> another morning of exchange of gun fire. we have heard a fair bit of that, we have seen a couple of rockets go in from i.s.i.l. positions to the west of kobani, and we heard mortar explosions as well. there were two u.s. air strikes overnight that we are told hit an artillery position, and a military vehicle belonging to i.s.i.l. that seems to have changed the mood for the syrian kurdish fighters in kobani. yesterday on friday we are

getting desperate pleas from them - they felt beleaguered and abandoned. today they seem to have emboldened them. they say they can defend the town - they say they killed 20 i.s.i.l. fighters yesterday as well. >> bernard, what does all the fighting mean for the refugees who are continuing to leave their homes, who are internally displaced and continue to cross borders? >> well, yes, more than 160,000 came just from kobani and the surrounding areas towards the end of september as i.s.i.l. began its approach on kobani and surrounding areas. there's a camp to my left. the turkish government had to find accommodation for the 160,000 people. they used school buildings, a

wedding hall. the biggest problem for the turkish government is the cost - $4 billion since the syrian civil war started. turkey said it needs help. these refugees are bombing a more permanent fixture in the country. there's little opportunity for them to be able to return to syria. thank you very much for that. that's our correspondent bernard smith joining us from the turkey-syrian border. >> let's go to the correspondent in northern iraq. monica is joining us from erbil now. tell us about the situation where you are, where some 250 families have come to erbil for eid. how are they marking it? >> i'll show you what the camp looks like. the facilities are getting ready to have the eid meal. this is an important tradition in eid, gathering with the

family, and having a meal. now they don't have a lot of things here, so a lot of charities basically came and gave them lamb and food. it's still a sad situation for most people as they start to think this will be a permanent situation. the shop you see here, the owner told me he's from mosul and set up a shop, because he can't remain unemployed. he's thinking about the future. and what seems to be a more permanent situation that they would have hoped for. >> if they can't go back, what do they hope will happen and how is erbil coping. how are the camps coping with an influx of people? >> well, you are right. the influx is such. this suburb where i'm at has received almost double its population and the number of refugees. they are trying to have this

camp as brand new. it's 20 days old, many we have been talking to here have been swapped from camp to camp. it's undignified. they had things back home. i.s.i.l. is back home, and they can't go back, they don't know if their homes are there. they are sad - for example, it's eid, not to be able to give any presents to their children. it's a sad day, in what should be a happy celebration. that's our correspondent monica joining us from erbil in northern iran. canada is the latest country to join the offensive against i.s.i.l. military jets are on their way, including to surveillance planes. they promised no ground troops would be sent. i.s.i.l. released another video showing the beheading of a foreign hostage, this time as british aid worker alan henning. we'll have more from paul

brennan in london. first, here is the british prime minister's reaction. >> anyone in any doubt about this organization can now see how truly repulsive it is and barbaric it is as an organization. as a country, we must do with our allies everything we can to defeat this organization in the region, but also to defeat it at home. and we must do everything we can to hunt down and find the people responsible for this. >> alan henning had no ties with syria, just a desire to help those in need. >> hello everyone watching. >> reporter: the married father-of-two travelled there in last december as part of an aid convoy. he had, "aid for syria" tattooed on his arm. after they crossed the border, they were seized. his wife made a plea for his release, echoing the calls that

had gone before. it appears to have been ignored. in a statement the british prime minister said: >> reporter: the british prime minister david cameron will be briefed by intelligence chiefs and by foreign office documents, trying to get a handle on how close they are to identifying the killers of mr henning and the hostages who have been beheaded and how close they are to combatting them and launching air strikes on top of their heads. alan henning's story touched the lives of many people. pleas for release were universal. more than 100 sent a message to i.s.i.l. calling for release. i.s.i.l., the killing of david haines, another aid worker, prompt the the british to take a

bigger role. there are no ground troops, but they have carried out air tracks. a man said in relation to a video on his death "his bhlood s on the hands of the british government." >> our hearts go out to the british aid worker who we believe is in the video, and the remaining hostages and their families. this is, again, yet another just very clear example of the brutality of the group, and why the president has articulated and is moving out in a comprehensive way to degrade and destroy i.s.i.l. >> reporter: alan henning was taken while driving water. the beheading is not just reserved for the foreign hostages, it's a wide by used

tactic. mass murder by the group's fighters, child soldiers, the subdigation of women and war crimes. in a massacre in june, 1600 iraqi soldiers and officers were captured and killed. also in june, it massacred 1700 shia air force troops. many of these were set to be beheadings. in august, around 150 unmarried iraqi girls and women were transported to syria. to be married to the fighters or sold as sex slaves. >> a senior chr crisis advise y with amnesty international joins me now. we see i.s.i.l. beheaded another western hostage, and released a video, it is, of course, horrific. if you could talk us through

your organizations findings, that i.s.i.l. is doing this on a wider scale to many locals on the ground, aren't they? >> yes. the biggest number of victims of i.s.i.s. are muslims. both in syria and in iraq. when they took over davide moscardelli, and the areas -- mosul and the area surrounding mosul in june, the first victims killed, persecuted and forced to flee was the muslim shia topulation, and they -- population, and they moved on to target the christians the yazidi. but the overwhelming majority in both countries, of victims have been muslims. it is just that they consider them to be not muslim enough, or not muslim in a way that they would want them to be.

again, as is often the case, it's the exploitation of religion for political and criminal purposes. >> what is it then that i.s.i.l. want? i mean, do they want to rid the region of non-arabs. >> certainly that has been the focus of their action. they have targeted all non-sunnis, non-arab minorities. and when it comes to the sunnis, they have been targetting anybody who is critical of them, who does not prescribe to their own vision of, you know, how life should be organised. as i said, it goes beyond issues of religion. it's about control.

it's about straight forward criminal behaviour. and, you know, in exploiting the religious art. >> so what, do you think the iraqi government and international community should protect - not just foreign aid workers, foreign hostages, civilian population of the region, who you point out has paid the highest price in this conflict with i.s.i.l. >> well, in both countries where i.s.i.s. is operating, in syria and iraq, they are operating in areas that are beyond the control of the government. in syria the areas where i.s.i.s. is present, government forces have not been present for the best part of the last - more than three years. in iraq it goes back to earlier this year, where government

forces fled, and abandoned the pretty much the whole of northern iraq. as for the western, the anbar province of iraq, that has been in i.s.i.s.'s hands, part at least since the beginning of the year, since january. so, you know, the governments of both countries have shown that they are not able or willing to secure all part of the country, and to provide protection to the civilian population from these groups or other groups, or their own forces as well. obviously i.s.i.s., in both syria and iraq thrive against the background of sectarian governments, that have alienated a part of the population, which initially supported i.s.i.s. >> all right. we have to leave it there, a

senior crisis response advisor from amnesty international joining us from london. thank you very much for your insights. thank you. now, the civil war in syria goes on despite a holiday of eid. one person was killed, many others injured when a helicopter dropped a barrel bomb on a mosque in idlib province. casualties have been reported in the homs country side. >> the syrian president attended prayers at a mosque in damascus in a rare public appearance. bashar al-assad was received. member of his government were in attendance. part of the sermon criticized the international community for backing an uprising against the bashar al-assad regime. coming up on the newshour. swedish duration help a childless couple. the world's first baby is born

after his mother gets a uterus transport. >> translation: i don't know how old i am. my children say i'm the oldest woman in the world. >> is the secret to her long live a walk in the andes every morning. and formula 1 - jo here to tell us about a surprise decision and where to next. north and south korea agreed to resume high level talks. the announcement was made as three top north korean officials were in the south for the closing ceremony of the asian games. gerald tan reports. >> there's a lot of excitement whenever any north korean politician visits south korea. it's more exciting when at the highest level delegation that arrives in five years.

it's lead by the man regarded as the number two in the pyongyang hierarchy. he made the trip to attend the closing ceremony of the asian games. >> translation: even if it's not an opening ceremony, but a closing ceremony, he's come here. >> translation: it's a sudden visit. i had like to express our gratitude for the meeting. >> reporter: that tone is providing hope for a break through in the careers. in recent years, hard work and rocket tests by the north korean government streamed ties between the neighbours. the visitors causing speck awelation about the health of kim jong un. he's been absent from public view for a month. his delegation is seen as powerful. this is about as big as it gets without having kim jong un here.

that's speculation that this man had been purged. the fact he's here, you sense maybe there's more unity behind the scenes than some of the conspiracy theorists have been suggesting in recent months. >> as always with north korea. some observers wonder what is behind the visit. we have seen the happened shakes, the question is what next. student protest leaders in hong kong called off talks with the government, following scuffles between protesters and locals. 19 were arrested in connection with the clashes. let's take a look at where the protesters are. they are at the popular commercial district of causeway bay where they have set up tents. and blocking rods in the central distri district. they are on the cal un peninsula

in the mongkok area, where some of the worst violence took place. adrian brown is in mongkok and joins us live. what has been happening there over the day? >> a lot of heated arts in the streets behind me, finger jabbing. verbal confrontation rather than physical. this area of monk cock, a bys yes area of the -- busy area of the city is controlled by two group of supporters. one wanting to end the protest the other saying they'll continue the fight to get the right to choose their own chief executive. the barricades have been fortified during the day. other groups have been trying to dismantle those barriers. there has been scuffles and skirmishes which ebb and flow,

but not like we saw last night. you don't see broken window, no torching of vehicles or looting, something that you wouldn't find in cities during protests like this. >> let's leave it there with adrian brown, our correspondent, who brought us that update from hong kong. a professor of social science at the hong kong university of science and technology, and he joins us from hong kong now. good to have you with us. firstly, what did you make of the scuffles on friday night. do you think authorities did enough to stop them, how do you think they'll affect the protest

movement? >> i think number one the hong kong and budget government is shocked to find so many people have come out to support the democracy movement. part have come out to back up the students, where in their eyes the students are relatively pure, and they are very - they have strong principles. they try to defend the civil liberties, they have come out again and again, despite the increased level of repress. yesterday i went to the various sources. we could see some organised gangs that war the mask, and wear a similar t-shirt, they use weapons to destroy the citizens and students and n.g.o.s in hong kong and causeway bay.

the police, surprisingly step aside for a long time, and despite many ours of confrontation ending in blood bath, only 19 were arrested. we had also received reports that one suspect - he was able to hit men people, but policemen escort him to a taxi. there's widespread rumours that maybe the police are condoning the violence, and there are accusations that those that hit the people, spoke in a strange language. many suspect that they came from mainland china, condoned by the hong kong policeman. >> what options do you think the protest movement has available to them now, given that they were willing to talk to cy leung's office, and the violence

has broken out. they called off the talks. where do we stand now? >> now, i think they insist that cy leung, our chief executive, has misguided debating in coming up with the decision. cy leung in his report said to beijing about the couple of views towards democracy, never fairly representing a strong view of local people for democracies, students could ask him to rewrite a report, and then the movement could subside a little bit. secondly. they could put forward a no-go notion, that the democracy movement can shift the battlefield into the community, into the schools, including secondary schools, in order to deepen and widen it. i think the two possible can

still provide a movement with some noble goals and with a shifting of the battle fooled in a respectable manner. >> thank you a professor from the hong kong science and technology, joining us from hong kong. good to have your thoughts. thank you. we are going to go to some breaking news.

livestock. >> the asking price for a sheep is $200, doubt -- double the price. >> since the ebola outbreak, prices are too expensive. >> senegal and their neighbours restricted border crossings and it damaged trade. now they do not have another livestock. >> translation: we have asked border restriction to allow herders to travel into our county. >> some countries are using border restrictions to their advantage. they are waiting until the last minute to put the animals for sale. for others it's a race to the market. thanks to the shortage, the ebola-related restrikeses have been -- restrictions have been

actors. some are absolutely out of control of anyone. and particularly concerning is the situation in benghazi, where militias are close and aligned to misrata. former general haist and fighting has been difficulty. libyans find solutions in a different way. we have the pressure of the international community, and this will have to combine the element to address benghazi. sweden's prime minister announced the country would recognise a palestinian state. it is support for a two-state solution to the israelian conflict. his party formed a minority government on friday.
