absence being brushed off as no big deal. >> i'll tell you why schools are empty, and why teachers are not turning up to work. >> well, we begin this news hour with breaking news out of baghdad, where there has been a car bomb, the third to hit the capitol in the past few hours. let's go to baghdad. imran. what's going on. >> reporter: we saw two car bombs in the shia neighborhood west of the city. and the car bomb happened within minutes of each other in a very busy marketplace. the total death toll there is 38 people, and 68 people who have been injured as a result of that. and then a few hours earlier in

the south of the pacific again in a busy marketplace there was another car bomb. 12 people were killed there, and there have been total death toll 50 people who have died as a result of violence. and at least 100 have been hospitalized. >> in looking at the bigger picture, is this linked to what is going on in the western anbar province? >> it is all linked to each other. what we normally see is when car bombs go off, usually against isil fighters. we have heard in prayerous parts of anbar province, this is enormous tit for tat. these car bombs today with the first bomb that took place, and then two more within a shia

neighborhood. not only is there fight against isil but there are sectarian divisions here that are rearing their head. yes, it can lead to the fight against isil, but also there are tensions that pre-date isil that are sectarian in nature. >> thank you some, imran khan there. intense fighting in syria where kurdish forces are battling isil. the group is trying to capture the town of kobane on the turkish border. and although the u.s. and allies have launched airstrikes in isil positions they have not stopped the groups' advances. stephanie dekker with the latest from the border. >> reporter: martyrs never die. the chant of a final farewell. the bodies of two fighters at the ypg, the kurdish group fighting isil in kobane, are laid to rest across the border

in turkey. >> these two people who we buried today are taken to hospital. here in turkey. they were injured, none had lost their lives. >> reporter: on saturday the non-stop sound of the stand off sources inside kobane tell us there is a fierce fight under way on the southwestern edge of the town. there have been more kurdis airstrikes here but it's far from over. turkey's military is here. you can see the tank formation behind me. but the fact that the military has not done anything yet to get involved in the fight against isil. >> reporter: the fight for kobane has become hugely symbolic for the kurds. >> kobane is under siege for 26 days. the kurdish people are with kobane. we are peer t here to protect

the border. >> reporter: back at the cemetery the mourners have now gone. this is not where these fighters would have wanted to be buried. people tell me that one day they'll be taken back to kobane to be put at rest at home. but no one knows when that day night b might be. >> kurdish in germany held rallie rallies in duesseldorf. around 1 million kurds live in germany. most of them moved there in the 1960's when the country was recruiting workers from turkey. demonstrations have been held in france. >> protesters around europe have been protesting in solidarity. now whether it's in here in london or duesseldorf there is

one main message. we need weapons now to protect our people in syria finance. >> we are here because of the problem with isil. we want to support the people. >> protesters are calling on western leaders to put pressure on turkey to open the borders. they say more fighters are needed inside syria to protect the kurds. >> i'm ashamed to be in france at the moment. my people are suffering in syria. i can't stay here doing nothing. i have to go there, and i will do so shortly. >> kurds are taking the opportunity to further their own ambitions. many of the protesters say that the international community has failed to protect them against the fight of islamic state as protesters are calling for the creation of a kurdish state now. >> in iraq big fear is that isil

could take complete control of anbar province. it would be a crucial victory allowing them to establish a supply right al into syria. >> reporter: appealing for military assistance in order to prevent isil from taking control over the province of anbar. a very strategic province in the west of iraq that borders syria. if isil is able to take control of anbar it will have an open supply line between syria and iraq and it will be the door steps of the iraqi capitol, their target to get into baghdad. anbar is strategic because there are army installations. as of late there have been a number of u.s.-led airstrikes calling the group. isil has been making gains taking mortar tore, but air power as well as the iraqi army, they will not be able to stop

the group. they will need the support of the population. this is a sunni below vince, and people have so far yet there are tribes fighting along side the government. but the majority of the people have not decided to take up armies against isil. they will need their support. right now sunni opposition leaders are saying why should we help the government get rid of isil when they leave all who replaces them are shia militias. according to the sunnies they fear the militias even more. >> while much of the world's focus has been on the fight against isil libya has dissolved into chaos. u.n. secretary general demand all armed groups withdraw from their positions and end fighting. ban ki-moon is in tripoli trying to broker a deal between two rivaling parliaments. it could be a step to bringing stability to the country. >> the country cannot afford to

be politically divided for such a long time. libya needs one parliament that represents all libyans. legitimacy has to come with inclusion. this inclusion is based on consensus of the most important decisions. >> let's take a closer look at the challenges libya is now facing. at the moment the elected wallment is in the remote eastern city. it's members fled there after the government lost patrol to an armed group. that group is called libya's dawn, an alliance of conservative fighters that control large parts of the capitol. they refuse to recognize the house of representatives.

instead, they reconvened the previous parliament, the general national congress. no single group is in charge of the country. a patchwork of militias is engage to wrestle control of different cities. this was the scene in ben ghazi. the armed groups fought together to topple the dictator muammar qaddafi in 2011, but they've since disbanded that alliance and now they're at war with each other. allison director general of the institute. he join us now live from bay root. good to have you with us. first of all, do you think the u.n. can pull this off? can ban ki-moon create a reconciliation between the two sides? >> i personally don't think that the violence has been the answer so far, and many libyans do. but the dialogue is not necessarily the solution. i think once the desire for a

more inclusive process. what really needs to be done at this moment in time is to reflect upon the members of the security council and their respect of libya, going in there and accepting the legitimacy of the ballot box and trying to understand the distortions within the process is not really enough. i think the institution's approach, which is unfortunately the boring work that nobody really wants to do, which is looking at the security institutions, providing guarantees to those who are fighting for more reasons than power politician, finances and objectives set by different militias, the real desire of many libyans is legitimate grievances, the question of religion in the future and even for the small towns in the east and west of the country. what happens if an neighboring

tribe seeks revenge over something that happened in the last 14 years, even the last half century and century. this is the boring work considering that the u.n. has so many things on its plate right now. gaza, syria, iraq, malaysia and ukraine, i don't think perhaps they're giving it the attention that it deserves. a fleeting four-hour visit by ban ki-moon is not enough. >> some countries want to eliminate one side of the conflict there as a means of securing what they see as their own national security. >> i mean, if it was repealing national security reasons i would understand, and i think most countries in the region and in fact most of africa tend to look at challenges from a security-led prison. that's been the policy for the

last 40-50 years. many of those who are not present with legitimated elected representatives have their own contingency. if you put them in a corner and how may they react? the involvement in the last month and a half, two months in libya? it's created a toxic environment. the middle east ground has now firmly with operation dignity or firmly with operation dawn. and with respect the u.n. has a massive role to fill in. at this moment libya's question of stability is dying for new ones. am i going to cause a problem? am i going to believe in an electorate process? sometimes yes, sometimes no, but painting it with a broad brush, no one has come forward to take

responsibility. painting that kind of picture this is so far away from the libya libyans dreamed off three and several years ago. >> could it turn the tide? >> the government, so far away from tripoli. >> absolutely not. absolutely not. it makes decisions in a complete vacuum. it does not have the support of the majority of libya. southern libya has been a mess, and the u.n. has not taken that seriously. the border issues that are not only toxic and lead to much chaos and problems for libya, much needed help, and in that respect when asked what it's government can do, it can't do very much having been elected by

a small constituent of the population. you've not been able to allow and move away from troubled politics. unless you reconcile the former structures are there going to be any solutions in the future. >> thank you so much. much more to come in the al jazeera news hour. our exclusive report from inside north carolina. national celebrations have taken place. but leader kim jong-un remains out of sight. farewell baby doc. haiti's controversial leader's funeral takes place in port-au-prince. and th the biggest football tournament in africa will go on despite ebola fears.

money to contain the ebola out jake. out break. >> this is an ebola treatment center. it cares for people who have tested positive for the disease. those suspected of incubating the virus are placed in a separately ward. those with full blown disease are treated in special tents behind steel fences. >> at this moment there is a nurse's staff inside one tent that are providing here to one patient, and there is always another person outside of following activities that we're doing in the risk area. >> in this outbreak many of the people treating patients have themselves been infected from accidental contamination. that is something the healthcare workers here take very seriously. >> at the treatment center you have to be careful when you go inside there. it's a risky job for the

cleaners, nurses and doctors. it's not easy to do the work inside. you have to take your time and take all the precautions. >> trying to contain the outbreak is especially hard for sierra leone. it is home to 6 million people. 75% of them live in poverty. the government spend $205 per person per year on health. there are only $120. 120 doctors. the other problems is how to insure the safety disposal of the bodies of the victims. they are highly contagious. with more people dying every day in some places the bodies can lie in the open for some time. >> we use personal protective equipment. we use gloves. we use boots, chlorine. it's very risky. that's one. it's a voluntary job to save our country. >> reporter: but if the people organizing the treatment center

are correct that on its own may not be enough. dominick kane, al jazeera. >> the condition of the spanish nurse who became the first person to contract ebola outside of west africa is now improving. doctors in madrid hospitals say that she's conscience and has been talking. romero is being treated with the experimental ebola treatment zmapp. the government of cameroon say 27 hostages who have been captured by boko haram have now been freed. the wife of cameroon's deputy prime minister was also released. she was abducted by the armed group in july. five years of violence in northern nigeria have forced hundreds of thousands of people from their homes.

the state was once a place of refuge for victims of the unrest. now it's become a battleground between boko haram fighters and nigerian security forces. >> reporter: chaos and anger. this is the life lived by thousands of people displaced by boko haram fighters in northern nigeria. and these people are lucky to have a roof over their heads and second-hand items and food. >> this woman said she once lived a comfortable life but her world came crashing down last year when boko haram fighters killed her husband. this camp is her third home in less than a year. >> after my husband was killed nothing mattered. we had a happy family, a home and businesses. everything is gone now except the children.

i try to help them, but i just don't have the strength to do this any more. >> one of hundreds of thousands of displaced people. >> there is a rising number of people displaced because of the fighting to the northeast. it is home to over 500,000 people who are displaced because of boko haram. a recent united nations report said that there are up to 6 million people forced from their homes in nigeria. >> reporter: although they are struggling the government said that the displaced are being taken care of. >> how do we teach them to make life. >> reporter: some of the displaced feel differently. john and eight members of his family fled to cameroon in january after boko haram attacked his town five times. three orvilleages he sought

refuge in has been attacked. >> as it is, we are not fed properly and our health i is suffering. >> reporter: supreme court forces have launched to take back territory diseased by boko haram fighters, the feeling here is that the worse is yet to come. al jazeera northeastern nigeria. >> a funeral service has been held for hatey's former dictator jean-claude "baby doc" duvalier in the port-au-prince. he was denied a state funeral. he died a week ago accused of corruption and human rights violation on a massive scale.

>> it had been rumored it would be a state funeral for john claude duvalier with all the pomp and circumstance you would expect, instead there have been friends and supporters at the catholic church where he went to school as a child. when you talk to people here they say the man was a great leader, a man who brought jobs and security to haiti. but for many it brings a close to an era. if you talk to people who lived for 15 years under his rule they feel cheated. the court case against him came to a standstill, and like his father, he lived as a free man. the over all reaction here has been fairly muted. >> north korean state media said high level talks with the south are all but canceled now. soldiers traded gunfire across

the heavily militarized border after the north tried to shoot down balloons released by the south. we have this exclusive report from the capitol pyongyang.

military coup. general fatah al sisi who controlled the coup became president in june. students who attempt egypt's universities have a history of political activism, and that's why it could be hard to contain them. al jazeera. >> now, a weekend of protests is underway in the u.s. town of ferguson in missouri. people are demanding justice for the black teenager michael brown, who was shot dead by police in august. we're in st. louis and we're live there, this has been going on since august. is this something of a national movement, not just a protest? >> reporter: exactly. that's very much the focus of what's going on here. this is a local protest on the one hand, clearly michael brown, an unarmed teenager who was shot

and killed by a police officer in august and started the rage in august. that rage continues now as the investigation into the circumstances of brown's death continues t at a glacial pace. the arrest of the officer who actually shot michael brown, the resignation of the mayor and so on, there is really an understanding well here, an national and international component of this. the national component, how is it that this is a society in which a police officer can shoot an unarmed black teenager and noting prosecuted as long as they say they were scared in some way. there is a great effort going into why is there a system that is conspiring against young black teens. the study came out on friday which showed that black teenaged young men were being shot 21 times more often than their white peers. why is that?

there was more than a demonstration but seminars, teachers, there is strategy going on there. there are unions, progressive groups trying to see what is going on i wrong in society, and try to build from what we've seen in the past, build on the anger that we see, and move in the eyes of the protesters to move the u.s. to a more equitable society. and then there is the international component. palestine is evoked. the idea of being tear gassed on the streets. in august palestinian activists sent e-mails to the professors here on how to deal with tear gas and police brutality, and militarization and so on. there are many layers here in this protest, it's not just another protest on the streets.

teachering to he won't. >> for many in the province there is no chance to study. only 52% of children go to school. and 10% of all teachers either don't show up at all or are regularly absent. the government said it's trying to clean up corruption in the system. this official shows us the teacher attendance roll at one school. the day he turned up all eight teachers were absent. he said they've all had their pay suspended. >> earlier the appointments were based on corruption, bribes, nepotism or some things political pressure. and not merit. >> this boy's parents sent him to a nearby city to study. >> my father wants me to study. these students are very poor.
