show you how the miracles of science... >> this is my selfie, what can you tell me about my future? >> can affect and surprise us... >> sharks like affection... >> tech know, where technology meets humanity only on al jazeera america jean duvalier jean this is al jazeera america - i'm thomas drayton in new york. let's get you caught up on the top stories. protesters in hong kong are refusing to leave the streets despite a government warning that they clear out in less than 24 hours. the man with the only confirmed case of ebola in the u.s. takes a turn for the worst. a grim discovery near where dozen of mexican students disappeared last week. >> a deeper look - the life and legacy of former dictator

jean-claude "baby doc" duvalier. the fight for democracy does not gi you the right to occupy our -- give you the right to occupy our streets and disturb us. we have a mortgage to pay and need to make a living. we can't sleep at night. it's past 8am in hong kong. activists are gearing up for another day of protest. many camped out after a night of violence. >> many let the crowd disperse in a bid to let the city workers regain normality. the police say any act endangering the public order will not be tolerated. the police of hong kong have been pushing for territory rites since 1997. despite the promise of one

country two systems, the relationship has grown straind. on june 10th, a policy paper was issued saying: 10 days later a protest group held a referendum on democratic reforms. 800,000 people taking part. beijing denounced the vote. hundreds of thousands of protesters marched through hong kong. hundreds were arrested. at the end of august beijing rejected pro-democracy reforms insisting it would pre approve candidate in hong kong elections, now they are being elected by a committee. demonstrators are asking for a popular vote with no restrictions on candidates. students began a week-long boycott of classes and it morphed into the mass of sit-ins in key parts of the city.

organizers say protests will continue until the chief executive resigns, and since changes to the political reform. we have this report from hong kong. >> reporter: put up your umbrella and stand together. it's a song written for the protesters, and sung by the thousands in the admiralty distribute. >> i came to let the protesters know that many citizens are supporting them, and they are not alone. >> see them. we are very stable. to make focus our objective of this movement. >> the scenes are reminiscent of the mass protest. >> things are calm, you get the sense that people are settling in, the leaders of the three protest groups told the crowds to keep the movement peaceful and be vige lent of incidents

that may lead to violence. >> over the last few days focus on the hong kong protest movement shifted from the umbrella to the heated argument. this is mongkok, where the transition began. for the first time there was violence between citizens on hong kong on friday. the police were in the middle. one historian sees a similarity between riots in 1967 during which people were killed and what is going on now. both caused by police violence, but then the people of hong kong were on the same side. >> right now it's a little - it's not clear. it seems to me you have interesting class divisions, divisions between students and non-students, but among the non-students you have differences too. >> in the wake of the 1967 riots the government worked to close the gap between the state and society. it led to reforms.

many feel that these protests can't go on for much longer and will come to an end. unlike those of four decades ago, few expect concessions, just an expanding division within the city's population. >> for more i want to bring in sharon, joining us in the studio. the executive director of human rights in china. joining us from hong kong is paul zimmerman. promises were made and since been broken. you see the people speaking out. how much of a difference will the protests make? >> well, this is what we are seeing powerfully, is that the people of hong kong are expressing a clear spirit of entitlements to rights, they are theirs, they are owning and claiming them, and are claiming them in a peaceful fashion. the violence reported recently,

they are an important element to keep an eye on and monitor and to be vetted by the authorities -- investigated by the authorities. it's the appearance of thugs and provoke terse, and triad connections. i don't think it's a coincidence that the triad squad have appeared. >> i have heard that the protesters have an identity crisis, why can't they identify with china, what do you make of those comments? >> i don't know what they are talking about. the hong kong protesters and demonstrators know what we are. we are hong kongers, chinese, and we are advocating for the core values of hong kong, which is respect for rule of law, fundamental rites and freedom, and what hong kongers were promised, which is universal suffra suffrage, which means not the two or three candidates beijing will allow. i have seen you out there

with the people with a yellow umbrella in support. what will it take to build a democratic system? >> an effective demographic system, as sharon explained - we have to make sure the candidates are not preselected by a small committee, it's a simple request. i think that beijing can do it, and within the tight frame work that they set. there's opportunities to receive that. >> what do you make of beijing's response? >> this morning - first of all, there's a 3-part strategy that beijing launched in response to the demonstrators, and this is what we are using on the mainland to control the citizens, that is first hard-line rhetoric through the propaganda mouth piece, the people's daily. it's a same hard-line tone that we are hearing. secondly, drag it out. they are trying to drag it out

and wear it down, so you see citizens that will be discouraged. this the organizers recognise. the third strategy, which i'm not saying now because who can ascribe who the triadds are, is the appearance of thug violence which on the mainland is common, with the local police or the authorities condoning or standing by or doing nothing. i think those three part strategy is a strategy. what beijing will do is respond to this. they have to come up with a different strategy, and that would be instead of violence, hard line, and waiting them out, they might try negotiating and listening to the voices of the people. >> a couple of options. back to you, i want to get your take. what will it take. do you see beijing compromising with the protesters? >> we don't know. today is kind of the d-day. it may be a poor choice of words. the government has ultimatums

for today, and we have to see how they'll pond. because of the days of violence mongkok is attracting violence. there's people running and chasing people. it's mayhem, sending out the wrong messages, and it has been instigated by those that came in a few days ago. the cause rate is couped by people that are high spirited and have a love and piece attitude and decide that they can be carried out by the police. central admiralty around the offices are a fluid situation. there's a lot that have gathered there. some have been trained by the organizers in how to do peaceful demonstrators. others have done no training and don't know where to take it.

the ultimatum has been said. we'll have to see what will happen if the full forces will be applied by the police. they'll clear out the areas, and we'll have to see how that will pan out. whether we'll see a lot of violence and resistance, and weather they'll bring back the barricaded areas to sizeable proportions allowing traffic to flow and people can go to work on monday. >> briefly here, i want to get your thoughts, what will it take to end the protest as an elected official? >>t's a government coming up with a clear concession on political reform. that's the only solution. >> final 10 seconds. >> this is not a domestic dispute. hong kong is part of china. but the promises made were international promises, and the international community which witness them back in 84, which should really step them up to

support the people and promises kept. >> paul zimmerman, and sharon, thank you both. jean-claude duvalier, the former president and dictator of haiti died. he followed in his father's footsteps, presiding over a rein of terror. using gangs to commit torture and murder of political prisoners. he had a lavish lifestyle while the majority suffered poverty. human advocates says the idea was to hold on to power at all costs. >> jean-claude "baby doc" duvalier controlled every aspect of the political life of haiti. he used a network of paramilitary groups, the tonton nacoots. the section chiefs, army. basically to ensure that there was no dissent in haiti.

anyone that tried to form a political party faced danger. newspapers were shut down. journalists were tortured. many thrown into exile. coming up in "a deeper look", we'll go indepth on jean-claude "baby doc" duvalier's life and legacy. the map treated for ebola in dallas has taken a turn for the worst. according to doctors thomas eric duncan is in critical condition. he contracted the condition in liberia. the c.d.c.'s director said nearly 50 people who had contact with thomas eric duncan were located and tested. >> we are confident that none of those with definite contact had any symptoms related to ebola. none of them had fever. we'll watch it closely particularly by the nine individuals in the coming days, understanding that the peak period after exposure is 8-10 days, but can be as long as

21 days. diane eastabrook is outside dallas presbyterian hospital where thomas eric duncan is being treated. the number of people said to have come in contact with duncan has decreased from 100 to 50. why the change in the number? >> what happened was the c.d.c. talked to duggan, and talked to health care providers about who duncan might have come into contact with, and cast a wide net. then they went out and interviewed 100 people, and by talking to them they were able to eliminate half of them. >> i know there are experimental treatments for ebola available. why aren't any of them used now in thomas eric duncan. >> well, the drug that you are referring to is called zmapp. it was administered to the two americans who had been working in west africa, and contracted ebola.

the problem with zmapp is two things. there is not any right now. the company that manufactures it ran out. they are in the process of making more - it will be a month. the other problem with zmapp is there's no guarantee that it will be effective on thomas eric duncan. >> in terms of experimental treatment, it's up to the treating physicians and the patient and patients' family. the available experimental treatment is one that we don't know if it works, and it may cause some problems if it's administered. it would be available to them if they wished to use it. >> so at this point it's a wait-a-gate for thomas eric duncan. >> i want to talk about the nine that came in contact with thomas eric duncan. what is their status currently? >> well, those are the family members that he was staying with and health care providers who came in correct contact with him in the ambulance or emergency

room. they are being monitored. their temperatures are taken daily. they are being monitored. at this point they are showing no symptoms of ebola. >> diane eastabrook joining us from dallas where thomas eric duncan is treated, outside presbyterian hospital. health officials in new jersey say the death of a preschooler was due to entro virus d 68. the 4-year-old contracted the virus. there has been nine confirmed cases of the virus in new jersey. >> the d 68 strain is a virulent strain that would attack young children, preschoolers, toddlers who have, for the most part, compromised immune systems. >> there were at least 500 cases of the virus around the country. most children. some developed polo-like paralysis.

>> vice president joe biden apologised to the president of turkey for implying that turkey was partly responsible for the rise of i.s.i.l. biden called recep tayyip erdogan to clarify comments. he said that turkey didn't stop foreign fighters crossing the border into syria, where they fought with i.s.i.l. recep tayyip erdogan demanded an apology earlier today from the vice president. >> u.s. central command bombs four i.s.i.l. positions after they released another video of another british aid worker being beheaded. how much it costs to fight i.s.i.l. after the break. students receive emails on campus threatening a mass shooting. and the life and legacy of jean-claude duvalier. stay with us.

haiti's former dictator jean-claude duvalier died of a heart attack. once called president for life, he was a vicious dictator. baby doc fled in 1986, but returned after the 2011

earthquake. courtney kealy has more. >> reporter: jean-claude "baby doc" duvalier took over after his father's death at the age of 19 in 1971. he was head of the brutal paramilitary his father created years earlier, called the tonton macoutes, a machete-wielding militia, named after a mythological creature that eats children for break fust. jean-claude "baby doc" duvalier, and his father, papa doc ordered the deaths of many civilians. during the '70s, and '80s, tens of thousands of hatians, boat people, tried to flee for florida. jean-claude duvalier's response was to demand kickbacks from the smugglers, and made attempts at human rights reforms by releasing political prisoners to placate then president jimmy carter.

refugees fled, the country was mired in poverty, he lived a lavish lifestyle, his state-sponsored wedding believed to have cost $3 million to $5 million. in 1985, he claimed 99% of the vote, demonstrators erupted, protesting high unemployment, repress and poor promises. he fled. a border u.s. transport plane to a self-imposed exile in france. in the late 1890s, a -- 1980, a u.s. accounting firm estimated he stole $4 million. he returned in january 2011 and was arrested on embezzlement and human rights abuses. he said his return was to help the reconstruction of haiti after the earthquake the year before. whilst awaiting trial he stayed

in an expensive hotel in the mountains, above the capital port-au-prince. he died awaiting a trial for charges of crimes against humanity. one of the last interviews jean-claude duvalier granted was to al jazeera. she caught up with him and an accuser in port-au-prince. her report aired on "america tonight", last september. >> there's a real space of the prison itself, you know. >> this is the flooring. >> yes, this is the flooring. >> bobby is a survivor, surviving 8 months at haiti's prison and lived to talk about it. >> 20 died i counted? in the eight months you were here. >> yes. >> reporter: he was tortured and

sort offed under the ruling of jean-claude duvalier, known as baby doc. >> they put you in a cell 13 feet by 14 feet, you have 20, 30, 40 people, depending how many died that week. reporter: he says he is alive because president jimmie carter sent ambassador andrew young to haiti in 1977 with a list of 1 people he wanted freed. >> they sent him a letter with 13 names, i was one of the last three. that's how i got out. >> the list had 13 people on it. but there were only three living on the list. >> yes. >> 10 others had died. >> yes. >> today, what is left of the prison complex next door is a crumbling testament to a brutal haiti history. when baby doc, the self-decreed president for life lived richly among the poor. the regime ended when he was ousted in 1986, and net to

europe to escape the accusations of his victims. how is it possible that jean-claude duvalier is back, and free to work the streets of haiti again. i asked him to join me to talk about his future and haiti's. the lawyer for the former president jean-claude duvalier called us up and said there is a place we might be able to meet up with the former president. we are heading there now to see if we can get an interview with him. we met at the peak of a hilltop restaurant in haiti's capital. no body guards or entourage, just his lawyer. >> most people accused of mass murder are not able to walk around free like big shots. >> reed brode by is lead counsel at hatch human rights watch

are, which is bringing charges against baby doc. >> this is a man accused of systematic torture, thousands of killings, and he's treated with all the respect of a high dignatory. >> jean-claude duvalier would not answer most questions, but tells me that haiti is worse today than when he ran the country. >> we were called the pearl of the antillies. there were security. people worked. you could walk around port-au-prince, without being assaulted. >> it's a dictator line, of course. paramilitary thugs who are killing people. >> reporter: gary is the founder of the hatian "times", and a city from the new york school of journalism. >> it's a perfect time to return, it's chaos, no one is

worried about what he did, because they have things to deal with. i think that's why he came back when he did. >> reporter: he says the current president is not eager to see jean-claude duvalier prosecuted for crimes against humanity. martely recruited his second and former officials to join his administration. >> i don't think it's coincidence he came back when he did. >> reporter: bobby didn't believe it when there were rumours that jean-claude duvalier returned. >> i never thought in my mind that he'd take the chance of coming back. but he did. haiti is the land of surprises, sure, that was a surprise to us. >> when you testified in court, how hard was that? >> rough >> reporter: is the 62 years old

jean-claude duvalier appears a chateau of his former self. his suits are expensive, but he is noticeably frail. he is back, says his lawyer, to help his country. >> he's been living all these years thinking about haiti. when the earthquake came, and he heard about suffering of the people and everything, he said no matter what, i don't care what happens to me, or will happen to me i'm going to come back to my country. and i came back. >> people don't really know why he came back. the best guess is he ran out of money. when he left the country, he took with him an estimated 400 to 900 million, and 25 years later, he had spent almost all of that money, except for

$6 million that is left in switzerland, but that the swiss government impounded. >> in february 2010, a court in switzerland released more than $4 million to jean claude and his family. haiti brought a criminal case against jean-claude duvalier on charges of corruption and human rights violations. so far the release has been blocked. >> the first judge to hear the charges ruled the case should be dropped. it went to an appeals court, which is expected to decide whether to aefr turn the -- overturn the ruling and move ahead with the charges. his lawyer is not worried. >> why so confident? >> we have the good laws on our side. >> i don't know that we can win. the point is to try. the point is for people like

bobby duval and the other witnesses, wivictims, to say "o rights have been violated, we want justice." bobby says testifying in court is a victory, and he carries with him the death of a friend behind bars. >> i took it and put him on the side to try - what are you doing? you know. he died. >> reporter: why does that story make you cry? why that one in particular? you told me a lot, why that one? >> he was a friend. he used to teach me how to fish, you know. and he was an incident guys, a peasant. a guy who fished.

when i lost him, it was rough. >> reporter: do the memories come back to you all the time? >> all the time, all the time. i'm trying to find closure. but i still can't find closure. i don't know what will give me the closure. maybe never, i don't know. >> there may be some comfort for survivors of the regime, to know that the man with the reputation as an iron-fisted ruler is today a shadow of his former self. once again we should point out in february charges were reinstated against jean-claude duvalier. he died before his trial, and officials did little to move the hearing forward. i'm joined by the editor and founder of the haiti newspaper. good to have you with us. this is a man that left behind a lot of pain. yes, he left a lot of pain, but

people are saddened that justice was never founded. >> people of haiti were optimistic that things would be different when he took over from his father. >> they were. he liberalized somewhat, but the essence of the tonton macoutes remained in place. in some ways he became a hybrid because he - he sort of married the two sectors of haitian ruling class together. the big landowners, and others came together under his government, and that was the beginning of the macoutes bujardi. >> you know life, what was it like under his rule? >> it was a terror. people were terrorized. i shot a film clan des tinnily during the period and all the time people came up to us, even though we had alias and doing it under cover.

they were controlling everything. it was difficult to get anything done. i spent months getting permission from the palace to do filming. it was a complete dictatorship. in the pure sense of the word, despite the efforts to put a gloss on it. >> he didn't like anyone that challenged his rule, and didn't have a love for the media? >> no, he was conscious of controlling the media, especially in haiti. in 1980 there was a spring that they thought would emerge after president jimmy carter pushed a human rights agenda in latin america and haiti. two days after the election of ronald reagan, it was back to the good old days, and it was back to the hard ways. >> he was polarizing and considered himself a playboy.

>> yes, he was, he was a play boy dictator, fast cars, women. he was speeding around in mazar arties throwing dimes out the window to peasants, the caricature of what a thoughtless dictator would do. >> he left in 1986 after a popular uprising. do we know why he returned in 2011? >> no, we don't. you hear the theories that he was running out of money. the billion that he stole from the haitian treasury, he'd burnt through that in his golden exile in france. there was, i think, some speculation that they saw martelli coming in, and the president now is really a successor. he's a sort of someone in the nature of him. >> he sent out a tweet saying

condolences to the family and nation for the loss of an authentic son of haiti, saying love and reconciliation must prevail, may he rest in peace: how will the people react? >> well, that's just it. he came back, they started prosecution, and when martelli came in, basically through u.s. intervention in the sovereign process, he immediately slammed on the brakes on the prosecution. essentially he got off the hook and has been spending his days going around the final restaurants. people are resentful and see this as part of the martelli government and i think they'll do his funeral with pomp and ceremony. >> how would you describe his legacy. >> i think it's shameful.

you know, it was a dark period, 30 years of his father and his dictatorship. and unfortunately no justice and closure will be found. >> thank you. coming up next on al jazeera america... >> we implore those holding you to show mercy and hughes their power to let you go. >> the mother of an american held by i.s.i.l. pleading for a safe relief. fighting i.s.i.l. could cost $2 billion a month. with no end in sight, it could cost taxpayers more.

u.s. central command said they bombed four positions around a town last night. the turkish army building up the forces are preparing to defend

the border. kurdish peshawar troops are on the offensive. bernard smith is on the ground with more on the fighting. >> reporter: saturday, more explosion, artillery and gun fire coming from behind me in kobani. for the syrian and kurdish fighters in kobani, news of a positive news. turkish kurdish mps have been allowed to go into town, to speak to the syrian kurdish fighters. after a couple of u.s. air strikes overnight on friday hitting i.s.i.l.'s position, they feel strengthened, confident about the ability to hold the town. this is a fight that ebbs and flows and i.s.i.l. are keeping up the pressure on kobani. >> i.s.i.l. released a video appearing to show a former army

ranger supplying medical aid in syria when kidnapped. this is the fourth execution video. after keeping quiet for a year after his kidnapping, his parents published a video message to their son. >> our son is abdul rahman, formerly known as peter. he disappeared on october 1st last year, near raqqa syria. >> please know that we are praying for you and your safe return. most of all, know that we love you. in our hearts, it aches for you to be granted your freedom so we can hug you again and set you free to continue the life you have chosen. the life of service to those in greatest need. we implore those holding you to show mercy, and use their power to let them go. >> alan henning is the british aid worker in a video that

i.s.i.l. appeared to execute. he was taken hostage nine months ago whilst delivering aid in syria. many have come out condemning the video, particularly in his home. >> reporter: alan henning en route to syria with a humanitarian aid convoy. he had aid for syria tattooed on his arm. hours later after the convoy crossed the border, he was seized by militants. his wife made a plea for his release. on saturday barbara henning issued a new statement saying: >> anyone in any doubt about

this organization can see how truly repulsive it is, and barbaric it is as an organization. as a country, we must do everything we can to defeat the organization in the region, but also to defeat it at home, and we must do everything we can, hunt down and find the people who are responsible for this. >> on saturday, in response to the emergence of that video, the british prime minister david cameron called a meeting of the heads of the intelligence services, and the armed forces. in order to discuss the threat posed by i.s.i.l., and the response that the british government could have. >> the notion that i.s.i.l. can be bombed is rejected by antiwar campaigners, more than 2,000 of whom rallied to oppose air strikes. alan henning's story touched the lives of many people, many muslim leaders joined the

campaign for freedom as eid was celebrated as a big mosque. people expressed their anger about what i.s.i.l. is doing. >> they are not doing the right. >> in islam, the times we live in, any other time, there's no justification. >> there is nothing in islam that condones this behaviour. it is totally unacceptable, it is to be condemned and nothing can justify. >> reporter: alan henning was taken while driving an ambulance packed with aid. it seems humanitarian workers are game, in the eyes of i.s.i.l. talking about numbers, it's estimated that u.s. taxpayers paid nearly a billion so the campaign against i.s.i.l. as the u.s. extends the campaign, that will grow larger. "real money"'s patricia sab ka

breaks it down. >> nearly a billion at the top end. that is how much the center for strategic and budgetary assessments estimates the military campaign against i.s.i.l. cost u.s. tax players through september 24th. the two biggest components of expenditure have been 1500 to 200 troops on the ground, and the cost of operating the aircraft. after i.s.i.l. seized mosul. they increased support, making sure the forces battled the group. u.s. air forces battled in august, making sure limited air strikes against i.s.i.l. positions in iraq. >> we will degrade and ultimately destroy i.s.i.l. president obama expanded the scope of the campaign to include air strikes in syria, and the deployment of additional military personnel. >> at roughly a billion, the campaign is a fraction of the

dods 526 budget for 2014. the cost to u.s. taxpayers could climax the campaign against i.s.i.l. drags on. >> this will not be easy. >> the center for strategic and budgetary assessment made three assessments, maintaining a second aircraft carrier and supporting vessel and the cost of u.s. ground forces. a lower intensity air campaign would cost up to $320 million. a higher intensity up to $570 million, and a high intensity air campaign, coupled with 25,000 boots on the ground between 1.1 and 1.8 million monthly. >> when you deploy 2500, it gets into real money really fast. >> how extensively the military broadens the campaign will shift

with the facts on the ground. no matter how intense u.s. operations become, degrading and destroying i.s.i.l. will not come cheap. the csba estimates do not include the cost of hiring private military contracts or training iraqi and syrian forces. coming up on al jazeera america - disturbing developments in the search for three dozen students who vanished in southern mexico. selfie fever grips hajj pilgrims - inside mecca's new pastime.

>> kentucky, a state that's hurting economically. >> when the mines shut down it affects other businesses too you know, it hurts everything. >> some say it's time for a change. >> mitch has been in there so long. >> while others want to stay the course. >> all the way mitch! you know exactly what these people needs in kentucky. >> communities trying to cope. what does the future hold? >> the economy, the struggling coal industry and healthcare are all impacting their vote. >> "america votes 2014 / fed up in kentucky". all next week. only on al jazeera america. there are new developments in the sea for 43 students who vanished in southern mexico. witnesses say they were taken away in control cars during a

shoot-out a week ago. today disturbing news of several mass graves are found not far from where the students disappeared. no confirmation that any of the bodies were identified as those of the missing students. we are standing outside a perimeter of an entrance to four mass graves in the town and in the south-west state. this is the town where little more than a week ago 43 student when missing. since that time 22 local police have been taken into custody. they are suspected of playing a role in the disappearance of the students. there's no confirmation that the bodies at the graves where we were standing were the students. there's a lot of attention focused on the site. the state governor holding a press catholic church, and police saying that dozens of

bodies have been found. they are not saying they were the 43. >> the students left at the school - they kept searching for the students and perpetrators in this case. they are not getting a lot of support from the government. they had to block goals. they had to march and protest to get the attention of lawmakers. what is interesting is looking around mexico, looking at the media, despite 4 dozen students gone missing. it has not gaped the attention -- gained the attention, and is sometimes not on the front page of the newspapers or headlines of the news shows. the students at the school are saying, in a poor, violent state in mexico, is they are not important to the people that matter, and that they are trying their best to give the case the attention they deserve. >> it was another violent day in donetsk. despite a month of long

ceasefire. the separatists continued to attack forces. the army says they have the upper hand against separatists, equipped with heavy weapons. 12 decide. tomorrow, brazilians will vote for their next president. opinion polls show counter president dilma rousseff may not get over 50% of the votes making her the winner, vorsing a run-off election. -- forcing a run-off election. >> reporter: the last full day of campaigning in brazil, and it's boiling down to a race between who will get the second-most vote. dilma rousseff is polling, enough to get her through to the second round of voting, if she does not get 50% plus one. most analysts think it may be tough for her to do that. whoever gets the second-most will face dilma rousseff in the run off. that is why the opposition candidate have been out

campaigning very, very hard in the final days and hours to try to secure that second position. for maria silva, it's bad news. there was a poll coming out on saturday showing that she had slipped to the number three position, she put out a strong campaign, she was in front of hundreds of people, trying to present herself as the new face. the other candidate out campaigning hard. he has a lot of momentum in the final days. it will be more than 135 million brazilians going to the polls, and they'll be the ones deciding who should be brazil's next president. >> tomorrow, bulgarians head to the polls. outrage over bad economy and influx of syrian refugees

dominated. a stra right party took the lead, but is not expected to win a clear majority. top officials made a rare trip to the south, it is the first such meeting in five years. the north korean delegation is being led by the second-highest official. the two koreas agreed to resume formal dialogue. it comes amid thoughts the health of kim jong un is failing. he was seen gaining weight and walking with a limp. >> more than 2 million muslims travelled the globe to make it to mecca. the hajj is a pilgrimage all muslims are supposed to take once in a lifetime. worshippers made their pilgrimage to saudi arabia, despite worries of the spread of disease. the saudi arabia banned visas from all country for people with ebola infections.
