♪ >> announcer: this is al jazeera. ♪ hello and welcome to a news hour in doha and our top stories. 2014 nobel peace prize is awarded to two champions to children's rights of education. more u.s. air strikes on isil as control of kobane rages on. north and south cora korea trade

propaganda. >> f 1 comes to russia for the first time and thoughts with the driver following his crash in japan last weekend and we will have more later in the program. ♪ so the nobel peace price has been jointly awarded. and we report. >> the nobel committee has decided that the nobel peace prize for 2014 is to be awarded to two people for their struggle against oppression of young people and children and children's right to education. children must go to school, not be financially exploited.

>> reporter: the world's most pre prestige prize and this is the youngest in 113 year history and the 17-year-old was at school when the committee awarded her the prize. fighting for education is how the teenager rose to prominence and now being educated in the uk she was on her way home from her old school in pakistan district when a taliban shot her in the head in 2012 and she had been campaigning for the rights of girls to go to school and she had been ban when the taliban took over. and she is not alone this year. india will share the honor and actively campaigned against child labor for two decades and freed dozens of kids forced in the life and says the nobel prize is an honor to children in

slavery, together from the sub continent the pair is not only trying to change the world around them but the world at large, i'm with al jazeera. let's speak to our correspondence in india and pakistan and we are standing by in new deli but first let's speak with nicole on-johnston in islamabad. >> reporter: interior minister said this is a good news after a period of negative news to come out of pakistan and said now the world will recognize that pakistan is a peace-loving country and its people are making sacrifices for peace and that is the main statement we had so far. interesting he gave that statement during the middle of a security council briefing. at the moment pakistan and india are engaged in cross border fire over the kashmir region, particularly over the line of

control in the working boundary, so on one hand we've got two young people from india and pakistan awarded the nobel peace prize and on the other hand two militarys are engaged in this conflict. >> nicole let's go to new deli, and arguably the lesser known of the two, what can you tell us about him? >> well, he certainly is lesser known than the girl but his work is well-known. i had a chance to speak with him on the telephone about 30 minutes ago and he was at his offices that is run by the ngo that works on child rights and child labor here in india and he said that he was very, very hangful to the nobel committee that this recognition is the recognition of the many voices of children who are victims of

servitude not just in india but across the world and says it's a great honor for his country but while the celebration is going on in the background he was also very focused and hopes this award encourages the indian government to pay more attention to the plight of children who were forced to work and he also says that he feels more responsibility now than ever before to complete his life's work, to promote the rights of children and to solve this issue of child labor in his lifetime. >> all right, nicole johnston in islamabad, how may the former school mates react to this and what will this announcement mean for them? >> over all we would expect across pakistan including her former school mates there will be a great deal of honor and pride as the interior minister said there has not been a lot of

good news out of pakistan for a long time so this will put a great deal of prestige in the country and happiness in parts of the valley. on the other hand there will be some people in pakistan, a different camp so to speak who will have a different reaction. some people regard her as a puppet for the west promoting a western agenda so there is two schools of thought going on in pakistan but over all we would expect most people will be very happy to have this kind of news coming out of pakistan at a time when we have this cross border firing going on and a military operation against the taliban in north wazirstan so it's a different story and tune to come out of pakistan. >> in islamabad and new deli and many thanks to you both. u.s. airforce launched more strike against isil positions in

kobane and ranging for control of the town which is in sight of the border and we are live on the turkish/syrian border and what is the latest you are hearing from kobane? >> kobane is two kilometers behind us and it's hazy and you cannot make it out clearly but we are hearing the sounds as you describe it an on going battle. we saw in the last hour-and-a-half or so a coalition air strike carried out on the eastern flank of kobane and know isil has positions to the east and to the south and also being told from sources that there is an attempt by isil to take the border crossing which is further down from here and an area that is extremely close to turkey and if you look at it geographicicily the position is about 50 meters across if they would take it and has not happened yet but it's by

no means over and the coalition air strikes are happening somewhat but it's temporary and the kurds are managing to keep them at bay and have not taken the town but we know conditions in the town for the few people remaining there mostly elderly and heard from the u.n. and syria saying it's 500-70 0 and mostly elderly are there and saying the parents don't want to leave because they say they would prefer to die in kobane and syria than turkey and gives you an indication how committed people here are to their town and they are forced to watch from the sidelines as this is on going. >> stephanie decker live on the turkish/syrian border. north and south korea have traded artillery fire across their heavy military border and they released leaflets attached to balloons and harry faucet is

on the line from the capitol seoul and this harry as north korea marks a significant anniversary. >> reporter: that is right and what the leaflets launch was due to commemorate the leaflets being launch by antinorth korean activists in south korea and the north koreans are clear they wanted south koreans to stop them indeed and there were some requests from the south korean government but the leaflets have decided to launch these huge balloons nonetheless and led to this remarkable tier of events and 3:55 local time according to the south korean defense ministry and it's 7:00 in the evening north korea fired shots at these balloons in mid flight using artillery they say about ten shots and that some of those artillery shells landed in territory in the other side of

dmv and the south defense ministry saying some of those shells landed quite close to a community center near a village and residents are still sheltering in bomb shelters. about an hour and a half later the south koreans issued a warning to the north koreans say they would return fire and they did, 40 shorts fired into north korean territory and i cannot remember any other firing since the end of the korean war this 1953 and this is the first time such a thing has happened and we put it back to defense ministry here and they said they could not confirm that. >> we are talking about the anniversary there. we were perhaps not expecting to see kim un making an appearance because he has not been seen in public for quite some while and he lived up to that expectation.

>> that's right. he did not appear as he usually does on this event, just after midnight to mark the moselium which hoses the body of his father and grandfather and that is his procedure to mark the anniversary of such. it does seem he is remaining off camera and has not been seen since september the third and leading to some speculation about potential power crisis at the top of the korean leadership. the other theory being it's an illness or injury, a lot of speculation he injured his ankles or legs in some way and as he was just seen limping in video in july, that he is being kept out of the line of public sight while he recovers. but obviously the fact that this has now happened the exchange of artillery fire will lead some to ask those questions again about what exactly is happening and

why they might be wishing to do this. one thing i should make clear is they did give a very clear warning to the south koreans on thursday that if the south koreans allowed these activists launch these leaflets they will be driven in uncontrollable catastrophe again if the south koreans tolerate this and obviously they decided to follow through with such a threat this time and often they are left hanging but this time they actually fired artillery and some landed in south korean territory. >> harry faucet live in seoul. plenty more to come on the news hour including talks collapse in hong kong but protesters keep up pressure on the city's government plus. >> i'm in sim zimbobwai. >> reporter: in thursday 2016 qualifiers withholders spain getting a rude shock and details

coming up, a little later. ♪ the u.n. general assembly is set to meet later to discuss the ebola outbreak, this as the uk has ebola checks at major international airports and rail terminals and the ebola out break killed more than 3,000 people in west africa, liberia and sierra leone 879 died and new guinea it's 768 and nigeria it killed more people and paul brennan is live with us from madrid and this is somewhat of a media frenzy in the west about the possibility of ebola spreading but we have to remember this is still west africa's tragedy. >> it is.

and that is certainly the point that the main three west african leaders are making to the world bank. obviously we are here in madrid where we have a confirmed case of ebola. the first outside of west africa and that case is ongoing. but the spread of the disease is causing real concern for health authorities and governments all around the world and we've seen cases in australia and a british man apparently die of ebola although tests are not yet conclusive. in masedonia and what leaders of the three main countries which have been stricken by ebola are saying to the world bank and the wider world community is they need money in order to be able to tackle this crisis head on. now what the world bank said in response is they appear willing to relax deficits, restrictions which would otherwise have been imposed on these countries. they say the guard for example

saying the head of imf saying as far as she was concerned the health needs of the countries took precedence over the financial regulations and financial restrictions that might be imposed from outside. but it is an indication just how desperate the situation is that these three leaders have actually come out and said this and the cost of the world bank has estimated this ebola outbreak gets out of control is in excess of $30 billion. >> bring us up to speed of what is happening in madrid, hospital workers are protesting, what are they upset about? >> well, they have been protesting for the last several days intermittently because they are gravely concerned that the facilities and protective equipment they have been issued with to deal with the ebola cases confirm ebola case in madrid are not up to scratch. they are furious as well about the health authorities seeking to blame the infected nurse

herself because what the hospital unions are saying is that had proper precautions put in place she probably never would have been infected. yes, it seems she inadvertently touched her skin and cheek with an infected glove but the hospital reps are very angry hospital authorities are effectively trying to push all the blame on that nurse rather than accepting there were short comings in the process and protocols themselves. the other thing to say is another seven people presented themselves here at the hospital for observation peerly as p precaution and tests will be on going and at the moment the only person confirmed to have ebola is the one nurse that presented herself early on. >> paul thanks and we are live in madrid. 100 american soldiers arrived in liberia and washington announced that it may stand up to 4,000 soldiers to help fight ebola in the region. u.s. forces have started building a 25-bed isolation

center for health workers who may be infected with the disease. jordan is one of the three driest countries in the world, a refugee camp for syrians it has been built haphazardly on one of the most important under ground acfieers in the country and now there is talk about it being polluted and there is talk from the camp. >> reporter: refugees in the camp are living on top of jordan's most important source of water and supplies the north with drinking water but with no sewage system in place there are fears the aquifer will be contaminated and experts say the camp never should have been built here. >> selecting that place as a camp was a disaster and very stupid idea and i don't know how they came up with it. they could have selected a better place. the second thing is having selected that place there is the

responsibility of providing the water and providing sanitary reasons or sanitary facilities. >> reporter: but the government didn't expect the syrian refugee crisis to last this long, a resent study revealed the under groundwater has not been contaminated yet but it could happen at any time. many refugees have set up their own toilets and showers inside their homes instead of using facilities and the result filthy wastewater that doesn't get trucked out of the camp and could seem down to the soil, possibly contaminating the under groundwater supply in the future. there are washrooms everywhere in the camp. these are connected to septic tanks that are emptied and trucked out of the camp everyday. but she had her own toilet in her home for eight months and the waste goes straight in the ground she said and is not connected to a septic tank. >> translator: the washrooms are not good and this is better for families and young women and

children worried about their safety making the trip to the washrooms. >> reporter: under groundwater distribution system to minimize the cost of trucking 3500 cubic meters of clean waters into the camp everyday, a new wastewater treatment plant will be operational in the coming months but funding is not valuable for an under ground sewage system. >> the crisis is more protected and funding is less and the world is competing for humanitarian funding. >> reporter: this angers people and say they did not cause the war in syria or refugee influx and expect the international community not only improve conditions for refugees but also protect their scarce under groundwater, i'm with al jazeera at the camp. >> reporter: something pretty unpleasant lurking just above the water off the east coast of india, here to tell us more about that is metrologist

richard. >> reporter: thanks, we have two cyclone seasons which effect the region and one is may and june ahead of the southwest monsoon and now as that monsoon begins to retreat we start with the second season developing. this is at tt the moment, this tropical scyclone is moving northwest and heading to the coast of india somewhere between the north padesh and this is the track it will take and it's quite a vicious storm and like a category three hurricane and when it makes landfall on sunday it will have winds of 195k ph which according to computers it will produce a storm surge of 1.4 meters and after that the wave height and it will be quite a nasty storm and torrential

rain with it also and warnings are issued a long way in advance of systems and if necessary evacuations will be taking place because this will be a major storm as it hits and move on land and we will have a lot of rain to come and a vast wave of east india will experience torrential rain in the coming days. >> reporter: people are gathering in hong kong to demand democratic reform, protest leaders asked people to come out on the streets once again and hong kong government cancelled talks scheduled for friday saying it wouldn't be constructive and we will go life to hong kong and we are there. so student leaders say they were not concerned about the fact these talks were called off on friday, why aren't they concerned? >> reporter: they say they weren't concerned but mainly their main reason they are not panicking over this is the fact

they have still got the occupation of several main roads in hong kong so the barricaded areas of the business district in central and this is a six-lane highway you see behind me and a main artery going from the east and west of the island so that maybe why they are not showing any signs of panic but what remains is that the government has called off talks saying that the occupational of these roads should not be contingent on those talks and saying the students have to change and have to be able to compromise somewhat because they are still sticking to their point they still want beijing not to vet candidates of 2017 elections which was the main reason they got on the streets in the first place. >> many thanks and live there in hong kong. there has been a historic by election in the uk, the euro anti-immigration party has won its first ever seat in

parliament. [applause] douglas causwell who defected from the conservative party won the election in the eastern part and let's go live to london just outside the houses of parliament and al jazeera's lawrence lee is there, this is one seat in parliament, why is it so significant? >> reporter: well, it was a disaster night all around for the political establishment here not just the conservatives who were in this place which is expected and ukip almost won a labor seat and the left of politics just outside manchester and came in a whisker of winning that too so they are crowing they are the national party and the people from the left or right of politics in this country share their view. by and large this was a vote against the political establishment. so many people up and down the

country say they are sick and tired of all the political parties here that they want change. the most interesting thing as we found out as we were there the other day is people are prepared to vote against the political establishment and for ukip despite not knowing what all ukip's policies are apart from the eu and found out the policy leader thinks there are too many immigrants hiv positive coming to british hospitals and tb is coming from southern europe and nobody knew it and said them out loud and people voted for is an idea against politics and it's an idea against immigration as well. >> as a political force, lawrence, is ukip here to stay or is this just a protest vote and this wouldn't be reflected in a general election? >> reporter: well, no, i think it might be now, certainly ukip thinks so and i think labor and conservatives are very worried

this could translate into what happens in next year's national elections and if so supposedly safe conservative and labor seats and particularly marginals, ones that are very close and going to ukip you can hold the balance of power and that is very significant because the conservatives already said prepare to have a referendum on whether or not britain should leave the eu in 2017 if ukip won 50 seats in parliament in next may, then that is almost irreversible. >> lawrence many thanks and lawrence lee live in london. germany's president paid tribute to a peaceful march in east germany 25 years ago and demonstration by more than 70,000 east germans eventually led to the fall of the berlin wall and more from nick spicer who is there. >> reporter: germany's president said it was the day a thirst for freedom overcame fear, when it was all over 25

years ago the head of the secret police said he prepared for everything except for candles and prayer. the demonstration which led to german reunification happened after moscow said it would not intervene because millions of east germans wanted to be free. >> translator: how will a democracy function depends on every one of us, depends on us, how much we defend it and when we look beyond europe's borders people in hong kong understood just that. >> a quarter century ago 8,000 east germans crammed in the church where authorities usually left them alone for a peace prayer and with riot police and agents on every street corner and rumors of a shoot to kill order they marched chanting we are the people. [chanting] the police held their fire but the communist government got hit hard by these pictures.

this man filmed them risking jail or worse and gave the cassette to west german t.v. for broadcast into east germany. >> translator: they were our pictures we saw on t.v., a full two minutes, it was a great feeling, we knew this is it and the nail in the coffin of the gdr. >> reporter: it was perhaps the first nail in the coffin inspired by what they had seen on t.v. east germans took to the streets, fear switched camps nine days after the demonstration the east german president resigned, within a month the berlin wall had fallen and within a year germany reunified. it did more than give the people new pride and dignity, it helped put an end to a divided country that divided both europe and the world in the cold war, nick spicer al jazeera. >> we approach the midway point on this news hour and we will update the top stories in a few minutes and mexican police say they captured the leader of the

drug cartel and we will tell you more. plus, china getting ready to host regional leaders at its new super green convention center but you can barely see it through the smog. and in sport find out why this golfer just missed out of a little bit of history. and we will have details in just over 20 minutes.

♪ good to have you with us and adrian with al jazeera and top stories pakistan's malala and

india satyarthi jointly awarded the nobel peace prize and given the prize for work fighting against the oppression of children and young people and for children's rights to education. the u.s. airforce launched more strikes against isil in kobane, a fierce battle ranging for control of the syrian town which is in sight of the turkey border. north and south korea have traded gunfire across the heavily military border and earlier activists in south korea released leaflets attached to giant balloons. kurds held demonstrations across turkey and accuse them of doing nothing to save kobane from isil fighters and protesters threw stones at cocktails at police and they responded with bombs and tear gas and this is from the biggest kurd city which saw

nonviolent protests. >> reporter: across this kurdish city the sound of pots and pans echoed through the apartment blocks. unlike earlier this week there were no deaths or violence, just noisy protest. political leaders in this city have called for calm and the streets tonight have been relatively peaceful. but not quiet. this is another very effective way of getting the message across. kurds here are frustrated of what they believe is the turkish government's failure to stop the syrian city of kobane falling to the islamic state of iraq and lovansk. >> we want aid to be sent to kobane and when they say no it up sets people and why are they sending tons of weapons to others and when it's kurds they don't do anything. >> reporter: if kobane fall they will bear responsibility.

>> reporter: but there has been violence elsewhere this turkey, this was the capitol where police and students fought. and this is on the border with iraq. the protesters want the turkish government to provide weapons to kurds in kobane and allow reenforcements through but they are suspicious and sees those syrian kurds are the extension of the kurdish pkk which waged a long, bloody conflict with turkey. bernard smith al jazeera in turkey. flash floods in italy swept through the city of genowa and one person died and destroyed local shops and washed aside cars and many streets were knee deep in muddy water and crews are now in the process of clearing up the debris from the streets. in nicaragua heavy rain has mudslides and damaged homes and more than 378 millimeters of

president should be focusing first on more financing for public education at all levels and under dictatorship the country's school system was privatized, critics say it favored students from higher income families. >> translator: we are not only fighting for better education but to build a different society, a more democratic society. >> reporter: around 3,000 people turned up, a much smaller crowd than protests that targeted the predecessor. organizers complain that several major student groups had failed to join the demonstration. tom ackerman, al jazeera. police in mexico arrested the alleged leader of a powerful drug cartel and they say all it took was a routine traffic stop and he was captured in the northern city and rachel reports from mexico city. >> reporter: forces in one of

the most wanted cartel leaders and 51-year-old known as the general was the leader of the once powerful cartel. federal police arrested him along with his body guard on thursday, not a single shot was fired. he is the second cartel leader to be detained in a week. >> translator: one of the main criminals that mexican justice needed to arrest, this effort from the federal government and the work involved in this talk is really one of the fruits that we hope to have many more of so as to return the country to peace and security. >> reporter: a bloody war here against the rival, the head of the cartel. thousands were killed and he was known as one of tell most violent cities in the world and lost the war and the cartel weakened. >> he was a major player and in

one of the bloodiest episodes in contemporary mexican history and the war here cost -- caused over 11,000 deaths. >> reporter: and the government like those before it continue to go after leaders like el-chappo who was arrested this year and despite that there is little long-term impact of drugs going north. the timing of arrest is crucial for the government and defensive strategy to try and improve security and facing increasing criticism both here and abroad over the handling of the 43 students that went missing at the hands of local police in the state here. more masked grave found at the site where the teens disappeared and tens of thousands protested on wednesday demanding that the president resign.

they say his government failed to act after it was confirmed that local police working with organized crime were responsible. a sobering reality for a country and a president trying to show its security is improving and not unravelling. rachel with al jazeera mexico city. we told you earlier about gunfire that was traded across the border between north and south korea earlier today on what is a significant anniversary for north korea, the 69th anniversary of the founding of the ruling workers party. and kim un was not present on celebrations marking the anniversary and on the line is theresa bowl who is in ping-yon-yang and her work being monitored and tell us about the celebrations there today. >> reporter: well, the celebrations started earlier this week and we were able to

see people dancing the street and people from hotels and ministries and from the military and the traditional costumes and honoring leaders and all this week they were going to the statutes of the founder of the workers party of korea and of kim un, the father of the current support leader in the country and it was very emotional for the people here and thousands and thousands of people attending all of this event. however unlike previous year there were no massive celebrations or military parades like we seen in the past and we are told that is expected to happen next year when it's going to be the 75th anniversary of the workers party of korea so this year the celebration was more private and it's not a surprise that the soup -- supreme leader was not there at all. >> explain the city and what day-to-day life is like there.

>> reporter: well, what we have been able to see and i mean we have been to different celebrations with the circus and to different locations around the city, to schools for example and to where children are being taught music among other things. but it seems a very quiet and peaceful city and people have not heard for example of what has been going on at the border that you recently reported. but what is interesting to me is people are not taking the fact their supreme leader kim un has not been seen in the last month and he is a human being and he has the right to have time to recover and waiting anxiously for him to come out on state television again. >> many thanks indeed and theresa live there and now returning to the top story the

2014 nobel peace prize jointly awarded, let's take a closer look at who the recipients are, 17-year-old malala is the youngest recipient in history and shot by the taliban you remember two years ago for advocacy of girls right to education in pakistan. she then moved to the uk following her recovery where she continued her advocacy work with a focus on pakistan and nigeria and syria and kenya and salyarthi is a children activist in india and led nonviolent demonstration focusing on exploitation of children for financial gain and says there are 168 million child labors in the world today. and on the line now is a human rights defender, she is on the line from qutar and tell us what

this award means for people like you and those working alongside you in pakistan. >> reporter: thank you so much. first of all my congratulations to both malala and satyarthi and it's an honor two child rights activists are being recognized by the peace prize committee. i'm absolutely thrilled and abs lawsuitly delighted beside myself with joy and happiness and i feel this is not just an honor that malala has brought for herself but also it's a great honor with pakistan. as you might recall, this is our second nobel prize, it's the first peace prize that has been run by pakistan, but our first nobel prize was for physics many decades ago. and just like every cloud brings

its silver lining unfortunately the reverse is also true that every silver lining has a cloud somewhere. so i'm hoping and i'm a total optimist and i'm hoping that this particular award, this nobel peace prize will not create the kind of controversy in pakistan that malala's shooting by the taliban two years ago and unfortunately there are many people who are conspiracy theorists and feel that the shooting was motivated and some deny that it happened at all to this day and there are those who feel the nobel peace prize has been highly criticized and keeping in mind the history of the peace prize and awardees in the past. and people feel that she is too young to deserve this prize and that maybe this is you know more

a western oriented than pakistan oriented and i'm not among the number and feel she has done a lot for education in pakistan. >> what are we to make of the fact this prize has been awarded jointly to india and pakistan at a time when india is accusing pakistan of stoking tension on the border with kashmir and the two nations are firing missiles or shells across the line of control? >> reporter: yes, i know exactly what you are asking. it's an important question and it's a question that is going to be asked around the world and your question will resonate in pakistan as much as india. i feel that perhaps the -- i don't know what was in their mind but the way people will look upon it here in pakistan is that pakistan did not -- they did not wish to single out pakistan for this honor, for the nobel peace prize and wish to be

balanced and even hand in their report just like when the media gives one side of the story they have to give the other side of the story to regain a measure of balance, similarly i think that is what the nobel committee thought, i don't know what was in their mind. but for me if it's somebody that deserves it like the child right activist in india and working against child labor and of course we are working against in pakistan too and malala is working for girls education and university and been to nigeria including the boko haram kidnap of girls and visited camps in jordan and turkey and why not, i'm not making a political issue out of this but i know there will be people who will do that. >> okay, good to talk to you and many thanks indeed for being with us. in russia ban food imports over the crisis in ukraine created

new opportunities for meat suppliers in developing markets and the food agency granted export permit for crocodile meat from the philippines and zimbobwai is hoping to start exporting beef and we report. >> reporter: they love eating beef and this is one of many farmers supplying the domestic market and if government officials have their way some of the herd could end up on plates in russia some day. >> we are an industry that has potential to grow a lot bigger than what we are now and i think the market pool will stimulate growth, which is positive for the country, it's positive for employment and positive for the industry. >> reporter: more than a decade ago commercial farms were seized from many but not white during the land reform program and economy stagnanted and the industry hanging by a thread. things in the agriculture

stalled for years and now the country is trying to grow its cattle herd but farmers say they need capital. banks here do not give out loans easily. investment is needed to train people, build and repair infra fracture and they insist they can and will support to russia and other markets. >> this is big compared to the combined head of them and they have been told about it but i don't understand and there is water in the grass and it's there including the capacity to slow down and we have done it before and better you fetch one or to things doesn't mean we don't have the capacity. >> reporter: some people believe it's forcing beef to russia consistently and in large volumes and real estate but some business people are optimistic saying russians one day get to sample some of this beef.
