>> we'll have your sports including qualifying for euro 2016 continues. england prepares to host the worst team in football. >> kurdish forces are engaged in a battle to defend kobane, the fighting street by street and house by house to stop isil from occupying the town. the u.s. coalition air force carried out more airstrikes, adding some help, but it's still not safe. let's get the very latest from the turkish, syrian border. what are you seeing where you are now? >> we saw two more airstrikes by coalition forces just half an hour ago. again, western parts of the
9:02 am
town, they landed bomb. right now, the clash is going on inside, especially western parts, as we heard from inside, isil trying to get the borderline inside. there's also information that has seven murdered in a couple hours. the bodies turkish site right now and also, we heard from u.s. central comments as strikes near kobane damaged an islamic state training camp. it struck two vehicles and control of the town, the main part of the control is still
9:03 am
controlled by ypg forces, kurdish forces. >> kobane was the first town kurdish areas were taken under troll by isil. isil controls a third of the town now, seizing it would give them full control of a long stretch of the syrian-turkish border. there have been calls for a buffer zone in syria to control the area, but nato's secretary general has said it is not discussed by member states during talks. it is urged to have a greater turkish involvement. >> enhancing the air defense of
9:04 am
turkey, but turkey being a strong nation itself, having a strong army itself, of course, also have great exhibits itself to defend itself, but we will always be ready to support turkey in defending itself, because that's part of the alliance and part of the collective security which the alliance is built on. >> let's join bernard smith. we'll come to the issues in a second, but first let's talk about what's going on with nato and the turkish government. the turkish government is complex to say the least, isn't it? >> yes, it is. turkey sees the fight along its border as not one just against isil, but against bashar al assad in syria, as well.
9:05 am
turkey has been banging this drum a long time, saying it wants to see a concerted effort not just to deal with isil, but also to deal with assad. that is why turkey is reluctant just to help the syrian kurds in kobane deal with the immediate threat of isil. turkey will say we are providing all this humanitarian assistance, 1.5 million syrian refugees in here in turkey, and more left kobane in the last couple weeks, turkey providing humanitarian help. it doesn't like the idea that it's being pressured now to try to help the syrian kurds in kobane. >> give us a context of where you are and what's been happening there. >> calm here today, but this is a main kurdish city in southeastern turkey, and has
9:06 am
seen terrible violence monday and monday night. that broke out as isil fighters breached the defenses against the border in syria. the kurds were protesting that they felt the turkish government wasn't doing enough. ten people have died in the last couple days. there is a curfew at 6:00 p.m. local time. they are managing to keep a lid on things here, but political leaders calling for calm, the turkish government blamed for not progressing with its own peace with the kurds. >> yemen has seen its bloodiest day in two years, 56 killed in a series of attacks across the country. in the capitol, 43 died in a suicide bombing targets houthi
9:07 am
rebels. we have a report. >> this is minutes after the rally came under attack. houthi's carrying dozens of people killed or injured in the capitol square. they were gathering at a rally to protest against the appointment of a new prime minister when a suicide bomber detonated himself near the crowd. >> we hold them responsible for this bombing. >> this is the man at the center of the controversy, chosen to form a government of national unity. hours after the announcement was made, the houthi said the appointment was dictated by the
9:08 am
u.s. >> moments after the president met with the u.s. ambassador, he appointed mubarak. this is dangerous. who gave western embassy the right to impose their will on us? >> the suicide bombing in the capitol was followed by two more attacks he targeting security forces in the eastern province. there's been no claim of responsibility, but has he recently become an al-qaeda stronghold. the political crisis raises fears of more chaos and instability. the minorities have controlled the capitol and insist they will only pull out once a government where they have equal say is formed. the sunni's remain skeptical, saying the houthis want to over throw the president and seize
9:09 am
full power. >> the president of the world bank said the international community has failed in its response to the ebola virus. leaders of the three west african nations worst hit by the outbreak are asking for more help to tackle the outbreak. a dire warning was issued about the potential consequences of failure. >> ladies and gentlemen, unless we quickly contain and stop the ebola epidemic, nothing less than the future of not only west africa, but her happens even africa is at stake. >> we're going live now to washington, d.c. lots of grim statements coming out of d.c. today.
9:10 am
>> one heating official reported to the gathered leaders and officials that he had just returned from the region and the situation was worse than 12 days ago and was in fact accelerating, the spread was accelerating. it was a call to action and there were pledges of action from the various organizations present, the i.m.f., world bank, united nations, centers for diaz control, the african development bank and it runs on. there was an understanding and recognition that the reason ebola was spreading to quickly was because of a fundamental lack of public health infrastructure in the countries affected. that's led to a particularly grim irony. many argue there's no public health structure is because of the policies of the i.m.f. and
9:11 am
world bank. how much responsibility do the officials in the buildings behind us have for the rapid spread of ebola now? how much responsibility do they bear? >> it's first fortunate recognize the critical role the world bank and i.m.f. are playing. they've mobilized incredible amounts of financing as well as accelerating the international response. we have to commend them for that. they are very committed to this. we to have look at the history and reason these health systems are in disarray. it's no accident this is spreading in the poorest countries in africa with the weakest public health systems. the policies of the i.m.f. and world bank in the past, in addition to the very difficult economic situations these countries have faced and the civil war they have faced -- >> if a country wanted to spend
9:12 am
on its public health care infrastructure what would be i.m.f. say? >> the i.m.f. in the 1980's were compelling governments to cut public spend forego health care and education and other public services, leading to cuts in critical investments needed such as hospitals and clinics, training health workers, doctors and nurses, essential medicines and supplies. you can't just push a button and have those things appear. over many, many years those investments were not made and that's one of the reasons we are where we are today. >> they say they've learned those lessons, saying when it comes to public health care, an emergency situation, the deficit isn't so bad. >> the current response, we have to commend them for the current response, but you have to look
9:13 am
at the past, right? and these are largely issues of the policies that were implemented in the past. today, we want to see the i.m.f. and world bank taking much more action to help countries expand public health systems and basically assign the money to be able to expand the systems not just in the short term. >> they are not credit worthy, going against the fundamentals of the world bank. >> the world bank has been helping countries expand health systems, but they need to place for emphasis on public health systems. the word bank, private sector lending arm has been financing private hospitals and clinics in africa that have been serving the wealthy. we want to see less of that and more investments in public health care. >> thank you very much. there are emergency actions
9:14 am
underway that are commentable, but unless a fundamental change looking at the country's economic systems, public health systems will be suffering and diseases like ebola will continue to spread. >> thank you very much indeed. lots more to come, including hong kong, one of the richest cities in the world. how it's also one of the most divided. plus china's getting ready to host regional leaders as its new super green convention center, but you can barely see it for the smog. >> the los angeles kings show off their championship tree fee before the new season.
9:15 am
>> pakistan has had heavy shelling, 17 people killed and tens of thousands have fled to relief shelters. the fighting is taking plagues in the working border between kashmir and pakistan. it is 193 long border. we are joined live from islamabad. it's not clear how all this started and both sides blame each other. >> that's right. that tend to say happen a lot. the situation on the border is still very tense. we've just come from that area and arrived back in islamabad. every day, civilians dying, being killed on the pakistani side, 12 people killed, all civilians. in india, it's nine. at the same time, we've had the defense ministry in pakistan say that it doesn't want a confrontation with its indian neighbor, but they are holding a high level meeting of the
9:16 am
security council in pakistan on friday. this delegation will include the prime minister, the head of intelligence, the early chief will be waiting to see exactly what comes out of that, what sort of response pakistan is going to put forward. though the situation on the border is very difficult for people living in villages there, and we just returned from pakistan to find out exactly how they're coping. >> during the day, it looks peaceful here, but at dusk, the fighting starts. india and pakistan have been firing at each other since friday. beyond that watch to your is indian administered kashmir. both countries have fought three wars over kashmir since it won independence from britain. pakistan says that the intensity of the mortar fire is the heaviest in decades. >> the pack 17i military said
9:17 am
india has fired 27 mortar rounds across the border, pakistan said it's fired two mortar rounds. >> both sides blame each other for starting the latest escalation. the indian government says pakistan violated the 2003 ceasefire, and is continue to go provoke it into returning fire. whoever is behind it, civilians suffer the most. homes have been hit. the shelling has gouged holes into brick walls. here we're showing the pit left behind from a mortar shell, three people were killed in his home, two children and a grandmother. >> the indians started
9:18 am
indiscriminately firing at us. the mortars were huge. everyone was terrified, the children crying. we didn't know where to go and tried to find somewhere safe in the house. >> the mother of the two dead children is in hospital. she has another son, a 6-year-old being treated for shrapnel wounds. >> it was early morning. we woke up for prayers and a mortar hit our house. when i looked at my children, i found my two sons covered in blood, and when i ran towards my mortgage, i found her dead, as well. >> in pakistan, 40,000 people have fled their villages, staying with relatives until they think it's safe to go back, but as pakistani troops settle in for another night, few of them expect it will be a quiet one. >> what's the latest with this and how can there be resolution?
9:19 am
>> so far, it looks very difficult in terms of the relationship between india and pakistan. usually, there's flare ups at the border every now and then, but this one seems to be going on longer than usual. as you heard in that report, certainly the pakistani side is saying the volume, the intensity of the fire is the longest they've seen. earlier in the year, there was optimism that the relationship between india and pakistan was improving. we had the prime minister of pakistan travel to india for the inauguration of its new prime minister. then things really did seem to sort of go from bad to worse. we had a foreign minister meeting between both sides canceled by the indian side. india said it did that because the pakistan ambassador was going to meet or had met with kashmiri separatists. now all of that sort of to and
9:20 am
fro has culminated into these attacks. both sides are talking tough, saying they will retaliate, but they are trying so they say to keep fire to mortar positions on the indian side. as with he know, civilians on both sides are being killed in this. we're really seeing the resolution. >> it's been two weeks since protestors demanding free and fair elections brought parts of hong kong to a standstill. now many of those out on the streets were motivated as much by the struggles of daily life as a desire for greater democracy. >> hong kong is one of the world's richest cities, but it doesn't seem that way in the working class district. this man spends each day collecting card board recycle. on a good day, he can make $8.
9:21 am
his daughter is the main breadwinner, making $1,300 a month, disqualifying him from welfare. >> life is miserable. no one feels pity for us. we're on our own and have to live a more are frugal life. >> two children are returning home after school. she is 11, her brother almost seven. this is where they've lived for three years, a room measuring less than eight square meters. it's a subdivided apartment, bedroom, bathroom, study area, and no privacy. >> we do not have enough money to live on. half of what we receive goes on rent. we to have pay you at this time. it's a real struggle. >> this woman is from china but can't work here because she's now separated from her hong kong
9:22 am
partner, which means she cannot apply for citizenship. she can remain in the city because the children were born here, but they can't apply for public housing. >> i feel helpless. i didn't understand hell on earth or life is no longer worth living before i came to hong kong. now i know what that means. >> the government admits more than 170,000 people live this way, a third migrants from the mainland, adding to the demand on public housing. >> this city's wealth gap i also one of the biggest in the world and the lack of affordable housing is another reason for the discontent here. people complain that public you at this time, transport systems, telecommunications and supermarkets are all in the hands of the wealthy elite who dominate the property sector. >> young people are saying they can't buy a house, they can't even rent a house, because rents become fully unaffordable and
9:23 am
therefore they have a hard time getting married and after they get married, cannot have children, because there's no room for it. >> honk cock boasts one of the world's freest economies. this week, it's announced that foreign currency reserves stood at more than $325 billion. that's unlikely to make much difference to the life of this man and so many others like him. aljazeera, hong kong. >> let's get on to the weather now. there are more storms. >> the atlantic has had a quiet season. imagine if it had been an active season. at the moment object our storm is in the bay of bengal. you can tell from the satellite picture, it's quite a raggedy old thing, not particularly organized and not particularly strong at the moment. the problem with this storm is its strengthening and running its way towards the west. it's going to make land fall in
9:24 am
the eastern parts of india there. we expect landfall on sunday and when it hits he is spect sustained winds to be 185 kilometers per hour. that would make this storm the equivalent of a category three hurricane. that's what it would be called if it was in the americas. it has destructive winds or will have by the time it makes landfall. we'll have a problem with the amount of rain, some expecting 250 millimeters of wet weather, easily enough to give us a flooding problem. on top of all that, there will be a storm surge as all the water is pushed ahead of the storm, likely to be up to two meters in places. all of this won't hit until sunday at around 0g.m.t., but beyond now and then, the rain will be falling along that
9:25 am
eastern coast. >> thank you. >> indonesian rescue teams are searching for 24 people missing after their boat capsized near ally. the boat had been celebrating a wedding when the water pump malfunctioned. 17 have drowned, eight others rescued, including the ship's captain. >> in china, local governments issued the first air pollution alert of the season. a lot of people returning to work, with more traffic comes more air pollution. we have reports from beijing on the upcoming autumn and winter of discontent. >> back to work and back to the smog, a scene depressingly familiar. the first badly polluted day of autumn with only a winter of more pollution to look forward to. outside beijing, preparations are underway at the complex which will host the annual apex
9:26 am
summit. normally a chance for the host nation to show off the best hate to offer, china is hoping it won't be remembered for its smog. >> the venue includes a convention center, hotel and v.i.p. villas. ironically, it's being constructed to the highest green standards, using clean energy and waste water treatment, but on a day like today, you can't see much of it through the haze. >> officials are working with local industries to cut down on pollution ahead of the gathering. it only offers a brief respite. for people like manuela, a little too brief too late. she made the decision several months ago to leave after enduring worsening pollution over nine years. for her son, checking the daily air pollution reading had become too much of a habit. >> every morning, he wakes up in the morning and the first thing that he does, he checks the app
9:27 am
on the phone to see how much of the pollution, to see if he can go and play outside or if he has to stay inside, and i can't stand it anymore. it's two years. the last two years have gotten really, really bad. >> for most people, though, leaving is not an option, as they brace for the smoggy months ahead. rob mcbride, aljazeera, beijing. >> still to come on the news hour, a symbolic moment for palestinian's new unit government holding a cabinet meeting. >> the human price of gold, the poisonous impact of chemicals used in mining. >> in sport, and di murray takes on world number five. ve.
9:29 am
9:30 am
along the turkish border. kurdish forces are engaged in house to house fighting in kobane. >> let's go oh istanbul. welcome to program, sir. everyone is looking to turkey to up their response. what do you think's likely to happen as far as turkey's involvement is concerned? >> basically, turkey thinks that it's in a very comfortable position as far as strategy's concerned. this may be a mistaken sense, but today, you know, american delegation will come in and they will discuss with kurdish counter parts about the prospects of a buffer zone, what to do, what's going to happen. i think there's a fundamental
9:31 am
difference in washington's view an what isil is and how best to counter isil. that's why, you know, the divergence is just so much that -- >> -- what is the difference between the points of view about isil, very briefly, if you would. >> for washington, it's the unfortunate result of an iraq war but has to be combated. the world was warned, ankara asking for a military intervention against assad so that radicalization like isil wouldn't happen. all of these warnings are
9:32 am
unheeded, so basically, they don't think washington sees the situation clearly. >> do you think turkey thinks that it's true to say that to remove assad, you remove why isil is gathering support? >> that seems to be the reasoning, although, i have my own personal reservations bit, but the laic, rationale and narrative, we told washington that isil would happen, because basically if you want to deal with isil, you first of to get rid of the fundamental causes that produce that kind of radicalization. the number one culprit is assad, maybe not removing him but creating a zone in northern syria so that assad's forces
9:33 am
will never move in there. >> more immediately, what way forward for turkey? they don't want isil add vanceing but there's the kurdish issue. >> kurdish issue is a very big topic for turkey. if we are talking about kobane, i think it is very much divided. a lot of people especially in washington and brussels tend to overlook the division. one component, one group in turkey thinks we have to help kobane in whatever way necessary, but the for hawkish or statist group argue that is turkish position is very safe, even if kobane falls, turkey can manage the isil backlash quite he ili. on the one hand, you have a very
9:34 am
static and salts quo thinking in turkey with a powerful revisionist stance that wants to rewrite the narrative on turks and kurds. >> thanks very much. gaza had the first meeting since agreeing to a consensus government in may. we are live in gaza city. what's been happening? >> with the italian prime minister coming here, the first palestinian foreign minister come to the gaza strip since 2007, since hamas wrestled control from fatah. he had a busy day. he arrived at the crossing
9:35 am
controlled by israel, then traveled to various neighborhoods that have been badly affected or rather that were badly bombed in israel's 50 day dom barredment of the coastal strip in july and august of this year. he also held that cabinet meeting, that first face-to-face cabinet meeting of this new government. although all factions are very clear about the fact that they want to show this unity, this unified front, the prime minister was admitting to the fact that it will be challenging. here's what he says. >> we have huge challenges lying ahead, i mean domestic challenges. all the palestinian factions should live up to their responsibility and transcend differences, given the priorities of the national interest. this is the government of all palestine. i demand all the palestinian factions support the government in order to join forces rebuilding the gaza strip and
9:36 am
restoring a normal way of life. >> palestinian factions need to in his words transcend their differences, and that of course is his way of eyeing what's happening on sunday. on sunday in cairo, egypt and norway will host a donor's conference in which the international community will be asked to pledge funds which will see the reconstruction of the gaza strip. they need about $4 billion, but again, the palestinian clear that they want to show a unified force ahead of attend that go conference. >> thanks very much indeed, in gaza. >> fighting has broken out in the central african republic for the second day, the worst seen since a united nations force took over peacekeeping last month. fighting began after a fighter was killed from the muslim group prompting reprisal attacks. >> thousands of people have

9:38 am
>> it's been very difficult struggling with the children with no help from anybody. nothing has ever been done about it. it's a lot of pain. >> people living near here say the gangs that attacked josephine's husband killed dozens in this area. the gang came in two gaps, one came down this path, the other group advanced from the houses down here. they say the gangs attacked people he in the middle and hacked them to death with machetes. the prosecutors at the international criminal court say kenyatta was behind it. some want to see him on trial for his alleged role. his supporters say the i.c.c. has got it wrong. the people in this settlement of from kcalty at a's ethnic group. they were forced from their homes in 2008 and still can't go home. this woman says that's because all the lower level organizers
9:39 am
of political violence are still free. she's also scared of being identified. >> i would like to see them prosecuted, because unless you deal with the grassroots organizers, you can never deem with the issue. >> in the hague, prosecutors say witnesses have been intimidated. the defense says evidence is lacking, because kenyatta's not guilty. aside from the i.c.c., human rights activists say justice in kenya for what has happened is lacking. >> there are still 1,133 victims who's voices we will never hear, because they are permanently silenced. over half a million are displaced around many hundred was women who were raped still calling out for justice. >> dozens more drowned in the sludge when they tried to run away. they say without justice, it could all happen again.

9:41 am
heart and kidney damage. here, it's used in abundance. if that doesn't work, they use cyanide and other poisonous chemicals. >> the poisoning is a slow process, but eventually, this will take a serious toll on these young men's health, outwaying economic benefits. >> a gold rush is sweeping the area. here, young farmers have given untending their fields. many children stopped going to school. >> when i grow up, i will be stronger. i'll be able to dig deeper and faster. >> he might already be sick, poisoned by mercury. the longer he's exposed to the dangerous chemicals, the quicker his health will deteriorate. >> gold miners have been using mercury and cyanide to extract the precious metal. want difference now is the amount dumped into nature,

people took to the streets calling for freedom and democracy. the president spoke of the events honoring the protestors bravery and for standing up to communist rulers. it was a very significant time. >> you lived in east germany. >> i was brought up by communist parents who experienced the second world war and always made me believe we lived in the better part of germany. apart from the no opportunity to travel, i was pretty happy there for most of move childhood. >> give us a sense of the build up to this day, 25 years ago. what was the momentum that was building? >> i don't think that demonstrations would have happened the way it happened if there wasn't the summer before, the summer with 10,000s of g.d.r. refugees, the iron
9:44 am
curtain wasn't strong anymore. people didn't risk their life anymore to escape the east german society. i think that's when momentum from the summer really reflected then in the autumn. >> then the day, 25 years ago today, tell me what you remember about that and the sense of occasion and emotion. >> it's very easy to judge from now, of course everyone wants a part of these demonstrations, but it didn't feel like this. everyone was talking about it, but i remember being too scared to go myself. i remember seeing policeman as i never saw them before. you didn't see armed police with helmets and protective shields and with -- exactly, you didn't see them like this normally as a g.d.r. citizen. on this particular day, we were
9:45 am
thinking about it, discussing about it but not everyone joined. we as students, we are not the bravest there, we had to use a lot, our university place, it was very clear to us if you joined, that would be the end of a career which not had even started, obviously they were more brave than i was. >> you were 21 years old at the time, right? >> yes, i was 21 years old. a week later, i was there, as well, but a week later was a week too late. i will always regret that i was not there on the nine of september, because there was a day when i think everyone had expected -- not expected, but there was a real danger of police interfering with solution. looking back and knowing how peaceful everything was, it's very easy to think why didn't you go there, but at the time, i was really too scared. >> of course a month later, the
9:46 am
big event. >> yes, a month, no one would have thought that development would be so quick, and so fast, so dramatic, and when i look at the pictures of this famous press conference when it was declared the borders are open, i still get tears in my eyes and my children don't understand why a boring press conference can make me so emotional, but it was unbelievable and totally unexpected. >> we appreciate your revelation of history. thank you. >> still to come, the nba champion san antonio spurs have a tough night on their preseason european tour. we'll have the details.

9:52 am
9:53 am
more is enough. i don't want to suggest it's going to be easy for us to get out there to score lots of goals. i know it won't be. all i can say is i think the players that i select from will be anxious to play at the highest of their levels. that should be difficult for a team like san marino to live with if we reach that goal, if you like, and i think that will lead to us scoring goals. >> european champion spain in group c., coming off the back of an awful world cup for them. they've begun well, 5-1 in their opening qualifier against macedonia. >> we will face the hard game, intense game, difficult game. fast players do what they he do well and it's sure they will pose a number of problems.
