>> announcer: this is al jazeera. welcome to the newshour at our headquarters in doha. i'm adrian finighan. coming up in the next 60 minutes, coming to the aid of gaza, an international conference coming to its help the united states air force drops supplies to the iraqi army as an i.s.i.l. offensive threatens supply lines to baghdad bosnians go to the poll for a general election upset over

high unemployment and widespread corruption. bracing for haddad. more than 100,000 in india are moved to safety as the cyclone makes land fall we begin in iraq, where there has been an attack to the north-east of the baghdad in dial yes. the kurdish security base was the tart. we'll go to er -- target. we'll go to erbil to zeina khodr. she can tell us more about what has happened. >> we are getting more details. this was a triple suicide car bombing, targetting three different locations in close proximity to each other. now, these are key buildings. two of them were used as bases by the kurdish security forces.

a third by the puk political party. a well-coordinated attack. we understand from official sources that 20 kurdish security forces were killed, and 10 injured. we understand from sources on the ground that the number is much higher. it happened not too long ago. the area is not far from the front line, where kurdish forces have been in a military standoff with the islamic state of iraq and levant for four months now. there has been no claim of responsibility, this is not the first time kurdish security forces have come under attack. suicide bombing have undergone security forces. the kurds are at war. it is a major blow, as of late kurdish supporters of the air strikes have been able to recapture territory from i.s.i.l. in recent weeks. >> thank you zeina khodr, in

northern iraq, outside erbil, in the north of the country. the u.s. air force dropped supplies to the iraqi army. government forces have been pushed back by i.s.i.l. across the west of iraq, and some are asking american soldiers to be sent. i.s.i.l. has reached as far as abu ghraib. a suburb of baghdad. a u kill some tors from the capital. imran khan is there. we have a call for boots on the ground. what do we know about that, what sort of boots are we talking about, and i.s.i.l. on the outskirts of baghdad. >> let's take the first part of the question. when you talk about boots on the found, we don't have anyone calling from the government on the ground, but we are hearing

from sunni law-makers, that that the only way to defeat i.s.i.l. is if there troops on the ground. the head of the anbar provincial council wants boots on the ground. he didn't say whether they should be american or, for example, n.a.t.o. peacekeepers, but says it's the only way the iraqi army will be able to defeat the group. they are not there in enough number or trained well enough to deal with the i.s.i.l. threat. it's almost daily that we hear of attacks in anbar province, and take overs of towns and villages. parts of ramadi are under the control of i.s.i.l., and parts of fallujah. they are almost all under the control of i.s.i.l. iraqi army sources are fighting them. we have seen another brazen attack on the security forces. the police chief was amshed.

he was killed along with four body guards. this is seen as a major attack. it was a large convoy outside of the ramadi. as a result they put in a curfew into the province. i.s.i.l. control a lot of towns in the province, but anbar is becoming a focus. because of its proximity to baghdad, it has a lot nervous. >> imran khan in baghdad. across the border in syria, kurdish troopers in kobane will go on the attack against i.s.i.l. an intense attack has been going on, with kurdish fighters supported by u.s. air power. more from stefanie dekker, on the turkey-syria border. >> the message that we are speaking to, the kurdish fighters, it's one of optimism. they say it's a change, saying

that coalition air strikes seem to be helping, pushing i.s.i.l. back. they say there's more on the attack rather than an offensive stance. this is something we heard from a fighter who came out of kobane yesterday. he was positive, he said he'll go back in and push them back. they can - however, when they speak to the people, the kurds were watching this out in front of them, thinking that international help has gone to late. 200,000 ref gees have fled into turkey, but many want to go back to kobane to fight, but turkey is not letting them do that. there's a lot of frustration. now, to gaza where palestinians are trying to rebuild after israel's 50 day assault destroyed many parts of the territory. more than 2,000 were killed,

including more than 500 children. the financial cost is in the billions. the palestinians suffered for years under the land, sea and air blockade. they are asking for $4 billion. homes, schools and hospitals damaged by bombing. the u.s. secretary general john kerry is among those that have -- secretary of state john kerry are among those that have arrived for a donor conference. the cycle of violence in don'tor conferences must end. >> translation: it's not tolerable to live through more laws and ask for restriction every two years. every two years we have a conference or reconstruction, why? the international community has to be under responsibilities. it must do that through supporting our request to put an end to the occupation of our territories, to have a two-state

solution. >> let's go live to the gaza strip. nts tai ib is at the border crossing. much of the construction material will enter the territory. >> that's, a short walk from where i am is the crossing. many hope it will be open, allowing construction material in to rebuild the lives of palestinians. i'm in the home or the courtyard of the allcock family, one of thousands of families that suffered badly in the war. i'll have the cameraman show you what is left of what was a building. as you can see it's rubble. it will cost a lot of money for them to repair, money they don't have. i'm here with the man who owns the house, and, indeed, what is left of it.

when we consider the fact that the family suffered during the 50 day law. two of your nine children were injured, part of your house destroyed. tell us more of what happened to your family during that time. >> during the war israelis opened fire at our house. we are civilians, we have nothing to do. we escape to schools, and we are still there now. and our house not good for living, so we are waiting someone to rebuild it. >> as you have been saying, you haven't returned back to the house. you have to live in a u.n. shelter for now. thinking about what is going on in cairo, you have people from all over the world raising money to help rebuild the gaza strip, and people like you. what is the hope from the

conference in cairo. >> we hope that it will help us. we hope that it will help to rebuild gaza. we hope to solve our problems, and essential problems are electricity problem. the unemployment problem. we hope that all the people can buy and sell everything. and take what they need. >> thank you very much. a lot of hopes there. hopes shared by many palestinians, many in gaza as they watch this conference looking towards the international community to see not only if this will raise the money needed to help reconstruct gaza, but deal with some of the other issues, bigger issues that some here feel is the lifting of the blockate. which is effectively shutting

the gaza strip off on the rest of the world. that is something many want to see happen. at this stage what they need is help to reconstruct their lives. >> thank you. you get a brief sense of it, the human cost of this latest conflict in gaza, 2,162 people killed. around a quarter of them were children. many children who survived were traumatized. over 370,000 of them needing psychosocial support. half a million of the gaza's children were unable to start the school year, because the schools were being used as shelters for those that lost their homes. over 100,000 were displaced. 18,000 homes destroyed. the unemployment rate stands at 36%. with over half of all gazans living below the poverty line. >> an economic analyst joins us

live from ramallah. $4 billion is the sum that the palestinian government says that it needs to rebuild gaza. is that a realistic figure, a tad over optimistic? >> no, i think for the first stage, yes, it is very realistic. it's reasonable. i think it was based on field assessment and surveys. and i participated in preparing part of that plan on economic needs. and i think this is the minimum this we can probably ask for for the earlier recovery, and relief stage or phase. but to bring the economy and gaza strip to the - where it was, seven years ago, we need more than $4 billion. because the cost of blockade, war against gaza probably reached more than $10 billion.

we are talking of seven years of blockade, and the economy. unemployment is a standing at 50%, and i think huge social services. $4 billion for the first phase, yes. everybody can understand that. >> all right. but we have got a donor conference under way in cairo. the palestinians want $4 billion from donor nations. to what extent are the pledges from donors dependent upon the political climate. how much is the political climate - how important is the political climate to the success of any aid effort or the reconstruction itself? >> i think if you go back to the root of the problem, the problem of the economy actually is political. it's not fundamental or

technical. so politics has played a role in the development of the economy, in the palestinian territories, and it think the united states and israel looks at the political side of the economy from different angle and perspective. palestinians need to earn blockade, open border crossings, need to give the palestinians, gaza access before the markets, and movement of goods and people into gaza and from gaza and connect them. and that should open the road for a final settlement with israel. the israelis and the united states may not look at it from that point. they want to have the negotiation back in track, and without another result. >> a technical question. have you all the money pledged by donors for the reconstruction of gaza.

i wonder whether any of that money will end up in the hands of the israeli government. >> definitely. when our experience says that $0.65 of each dollar received from donors, and in west bank and gaza benefits the israeli economy, because we buy most of our products and goods from israel. we are connected to infrastructure networks. electricity and water. we buy those public goods from them, and we also connect to them on different aspects. our trade, finance. and because of this unique and unfair relation with israel, we think $0.65 off each dollar spent or received benefits the economy, and not the palestinian economy. >> good to talk to you, many thanks indeed. >> thank you.

>> in afghanistan, a suicide bomber targeted an army convoy in the east. the attack happened in the province of war dock on a road that links kandahar and kabul. according to reports three soldiers were killed in the explosion. >> still to come on the newshour. find out why protesters in hong kong have zero chance of getting the demands. >> plus government authorities in mexico say some of the bodies found in mass graves are not those of 43 missing students. and a shot for the football world champions as a qualifying campaign stutters in poland. here later with the details. breaking news for you. news coming into us from the u.s. a texas health care worker who treated a man who died of ebola. has tested positive for the

virus. doctors say they knew that a second case could be a reality. we'll have more on that as and when we get it. >> boss niians out of work. voters go to the polls hoping to change. the election campaign has been dominated by the policy. winners in this election run one of the most complex political system. around 22,000 bureaucrats make up energy. the presidency will be shared amongst three people. complicating it are the positions between bosnia, crow at and serbs. the country has been in political deadlock. each with its own form of government. the end of the bosnian war has not ended ethnic-based mistrust. let's take you live to sarajevo.

this complex governing system leads to deadlock. economic and political progress, it's not only impossible. are these elections going to change that? >> i'm not sure that they will. i think that the problem is that the different political groups who lead the respective nationalities, that is the muslim bosnia, crow at and the serbs have a vested interest in playing up the national credentials. that's a route to power. that is how things carry on, how they had done. that contributes to rather gloomy mood in the country. you'll recall in february riots in sarajevo and other cities, which were an eruption of anger about unemployment and corruption, and then of course they had the floods in may. there has been moor anger about

the response, the slow response, and corruption in the dispersement of aid towards the 100,000 or so people who lost their homes in those floods. >> reporter: the river flows gently this autumn. in spring, swollen by rain, the flood swept away homes. it's the slow government response that has destroyed the remaining faith that many bosnians had in the politicians. >> nadim is rebuilding his house with the help of a charity. he is skeptical as to what good can come out of the elections. >> translation: the municipal government told us to try to rebuild the houses with other own money, but this never happened. >> this taught me that we can't frust politicians. instead of creating jobs, they are closing companies down. >> across the religious line i

meet a ser politician. they -- ser politician. they complain of corruption. >> i am sure than 90% on app referendum will be willing to leave bosnia. it is not functioning and is not sustainable. we want the separation to happen during the mandate. >> the siege ended 20 years ago. this city and bosnia has a whole are still divided. the data peace accords ended the war. they froze the ethnic and religious divisions by creating a political structure that it's almost impossible for bosnians to farm a national identity. a rally for a large bosniak muslim party. they appeal to national unity.

the speeches hark back to the war. in the steal atmosphere of bosnian politics, a party that tries to appeal to all citizens - be they bosniak, sers or crowates. >> the individual, the holder of human rights has been lost, neglected by the system. we want to talk to everyone, no matter where they live, in which entity, no matter the name, no matter the religious beliefs. we want to talk to them because no one has been talking to them for the past 18 years. >> those are the views of the young and educated in sarajevo. those are the interests of the war. >> you touched pon it there. the system is designed to ensure ethnic power sharing. to what extent is separatism a major challenge in bosnia?

>> it's a challenge. you hear voices is from the crow at community about going their own way or uniting with croatia, the country to the north. you hear it within the serb community and you saw the voices in our report. the president has been talking about a referendum and leaving bosnia. i remember interviewing him in 2006, he threatened to push ahead with the render um then. he -- referendum then. he doesn't always do what he says, but his stance undermines confidence in the long-term stability. if you drive into hebb erz nia, you don't see bodneyan flags, you see serbian flags. people see their identity differently. sorry to give you a gloomy picture. i'll bring in my guest.

he's a political scientist in sarajevo. >> do you share the prognosis as to whether the elections cap effect change, doctor? >> i share this view, unfortunately, because it's been for two decades now that we are participating in an election. we prolong the situation where fundamental human rights are heavily, i would say, dismissed. this election is led in the atmosphere where if you were born jew or roma you are prevented being elected to a high office. >> you wouldn't be defined in a strict category. >> exactly, you are not a member of the constituent people, and if you are born on the wrong side of the border you are not

allowed to take part in elections. >> or if you wanted to call your bosnian and not a bas ni abbing -- bosniak serb. >> exactly. we have 40,000 prevented from a fundamental right to vote on the basis that they didn't want to declare in terms of so-called entity citizenship. >> all understood. the counter argument to that, as you know, is the date and agreement in this framework has kept the piece in this country torn apart by war for 20 years. surely that is a good thing. >> we have to bear in mind that peace has to be sustainable. in today's political world peace is sustainable and based on democratic institutions. that is another mission that has not been accomplished by an

international community and local political elites, because they did not put on effort in building a viable democratic institutions in this country. >> i'm afraid we have to cut it off there. we'll brung you updates from -- bring you updates from across bosnia across the afternoon elections are taking place in bolivia. polls will open there in just a few hours for a presidential election. the incumbent is wide by expected to win a third term in office. evo morales rode a wave of prosperity since taking office in 2006. a boom in commodity prices helped the economy grow faster than most of its neighbours. >> from santa cruz, our latin north america editor takes a closer look at how bolivia's strong economy is impacting on

the election. >> reporter: this is santa cruz, the proud capital of opposition to bolivia's socialist president evo morales. a lace where moss protests have been replaced by mass construction. this is bolivia's first major mall next to the hard rock cafe, the last thing one might expect in what has been south america's poorest country. thanks to high commodity prices and business-friendly policies, it is enjoying the highest economic growth history, and is a prosperity spreading across the divide, explains the general manager of this fact rip. >> i feel a different atmosphere. you notice the integration between the capital. relations in certainly are improving. there's less tension. >> at a small rally, we ran into

one of the for opposition candidates. a former president. you concede the santa cruz business community is more interested in making money than overthrowing the government. >> the constitution allows two consecutive turns. it's a travesty of justice. the second term is the third term. a kid in first grade nose it's a blatant lie. >> in the eight years in power, evo morales is in control of much of the media. during the campaign, the government has blurred the line between stayed and party lines. when attributing to the president's history.

it's an over-simplification. the fact that the economy is growing is an advantage. so, too is the fact that they are so busy competing against each other, they can't join the common foe. as long as the opposition is weak and disorganised, many question whether it can enjoy the freedom it is offering. cyclone hudhud made land fall on the east coast of india, causing damage. here with the latest is our meteorologist. >> this is a huge storm, and you are right. it's causing problems. let's look at the satellite. you see a massive white area. it's covering most of eastern india. if we take off a layer of the crowd. the top right is obscuring of

what is going on. you see a lighter colour differentlile. they have just made landfall. we have seen the worst of the wings. when it made land fall, these are the winds, 200 k/hr. gusts of 240. it's moving slowly. 13 kilometres. whilst it's over you. you have a long time before it begins to clear away. the eye of the storm running to the north-west as we head through the next couple of days. because it's moving slowly, we will have a prolong period of pain. for many we'll see 200mm of rain. they will be flooding, pushing northwards and tuesday nepal is looking wet as well.

thank you for approaching the midway point on this newshour still to come... >> we are seeing an advance on decades of organising and movement building. >> thousands of people take to the streets of st louis missouri, to protest police violence. lives blighted in a small thai village after years of led poisoning. >> in sport mark marquez the youngest rider to win back to back. joel here with the details in 20 minutes.

hello, here with the newshour, palestinians are seeking $4 billion to rebuild gaza strip, following the israeli 50 day assault. these are live picture from the summit. u.s. secretary of state john kerry says the people of gaza are in need of help and long-term recovering plans must be supported. in dial yes province, there has been three suicide -- diyala, province, there has been three suicide bomb attacks. 20 kurdish officers were killed and 10 people injured. some 3 million voters are going to the polls in bosnia herzegovina, picking a number of leaders, among them new men to lead. corruption has been part of the

campaign according to the territories, there's zero chance of free elections in hong kong, according to chief executive c.y. leung. he said police would use a minimum amount of force to clear the protest sites. hundreds of protesters are continuing their sit in. many camped overnight in a sprawling tent city. let's go live to hong kong. our correspondent is there. what are protesters making of c.y. leung's comments? >> what we know for sure is that they are not moving away and not paying credence to it. the protests are a mass movement that have gone outside of control. they have been tolerating it. it can't last for much longer. they didn't have a time plan of how to make the protests. and the three main protest groups have come together and issued a joint statement saying

that - saying that - just a second, someone was coming in the shot. they have left. they have come together issuing a joint statement saying that they are calling for the chief executive to resign. they'll continue the protests. the pictures you have seenier, the tent city, has been quiet, calm and lots of people gathering, a lot of people seen at the height of the protests. here, which is where i am, there has been scuffles, and these have been a dally thing that has been going on, including earlier, when the blue ribbon anti-protesters tried to come and break things up here. i'm not sure if you can see in my shot. there are more police, far fighter security. this has been a flashpoint between a lot of conversations between locals and protesters. regardless of what the chief executive said, what the locals

are saying in as far as conveniencing the lifestyles, and the dally life of going to work, and the daily functions. they have clearly stated that they are going to remain here now, the u.s. state of missouri thousands have been protesting against police shootings. demonstrators calling for justice for unarmed michael brown who died. more now for al jazeera's correspondent in the st louis. >> reporter: it's called the weekend of resistance in and around st louis, and it may seem like another outpouring of rain at a local police force accused of insecurity. >> it's highly organised, looking for justice not just in st louis, but the country as a hole.

there are the demonstrations, but there are seminars, examining race, class rgs agenda and the law. the labour is analysing what is at the root of the killing of young black men by police. this is a domestic workers organiser, and said the killing of unarmed teen in august capitalized new alliances and strategies building on the old. >> part of what we see on television is this is a movement starting with rodney king. what we see is an advance on decades of organising and movement building that are trying to center the role of police and state violence. the killing of michael brown unleashed energy not just behind a community tired of racial protesting but a national movement, setting its sights on the routes of inequality as a

whole. >> i just want to show you the live pictures from egypt where dozens of anti-coup protesters gathered. students supporting the outlawed muslim brotherhood are chanting slogans against the army, police and the university administration. and there's heavy security presence in anticipation of student demonstrations there. the ministry of higher education hired private security companies to guard nine public universities. live pictures coming to us. student demonstrations as the term gets under way. al jazeera demands the release of three journalists imprisoned in egypt. peter greste, mohamed fadel fahmy and baher mohamed have been detained for 288 days. they are falsely accused of aiding the outlawed muslim brotherhood, and are appealing

against the predictions. the fighting in kobane has a major impact. not only is the border territory threatened to fall into i.s.i.l. hands, the peace protest is under threats. unless the government intervenes to save kobane, the peace process will collapse. >> in the working class neighbourhood. they have come to pay reports. they were killed in riots erupting across the city. his brother tells me he is distraught, angry and afraid. the police are murderers, not involved in many protests, he was a bystander at the scene. despite the claim a large p.k.k. flag is pinned to the wall. the p.k.k. are an armed kurdish

grouch. >> a picture of their leader is on display side eye side with that of the diseased. both sides have been engaged in a peace process. that is in the balance. hundreds of kurds took to the streets, angry because they say the government so not doing enough to protect the town. the deputy head of the kurdish political party in turkey, the hdp - she says while the peace protest hasn't collapsed it's facing its toughest challenge. >> it's affecting the peace process. if kobane faults, they'll maintain peace in turkey. the government must create a security zone, and open a corridor for logistic support. >> things are calm with businesses open as usual, and

people going about their normal lives, the feeling amongst the backers are tense. many are angry with the government. most do not want the peace process to collapse. he tells me that kurdish politicians and the p.k.k. are using the government. >> translation: i think kurdish politicians are aiming to put pressure on the government and offer more than they have promised to the kurds. the fighting hasn't crossed the border, the fighting is a warning as to how volatile the situation is. >> i want the peace process to continue. my brother died, no more lives have been lost it's been 180 days since

other way around. >> what happened to her and others was preventible. lead contamination spilled from the factories upstream. they were shut down 16 years ago, and destroyed the normal life, the company was fined about $65. the led pollution in the creek bed was never fully cleaned up. >> she lives next to the creek she relies on. a test of the hospital confirms her blindness was from lead poisoning. >> some children of learning disabilities. contamination was 100 times more than a safe level. after years of delays, restoration of the creek only tuct studies.

until the clean up. the people here will be exposed to toxic levels of led from the creek. more people will get sick, being possibly more birth defects. in january 2013 the pollution control department was brought to court for inaction. >> we sued and won the first case in thailand. we were ordered to come up with a rehabilitation plan within three months. nothing happened. >> the court found the department neglected its duty and ordered to play 22 villages about $6,000 each. >> translation: this is kind of the government's fault for lack of responsibility. it happened a long time ago. there were many government agencies possibly. >> it may be a legal victory on paper. nothing changed on the ground in clity lang where illness is all

that people here know russia's president vladimir putin has ordered troops to withdraw from the border with ukraine. military exercises have been taking place in the southern rostov region in russia. the withdrawal comes after talks between vladimir putin and ukraine's president. the two countries have been at odds since crimea seceded to rushinga. a ceasefire -- russia. a ceasefire agreement was signed. mexican authorities say bodies found in graves are not those of missing students. their kidnappings sparked protests across the country. dominic kane reports. >> reporter: the their children are missing. they are angry. the students were taken by police alleged to be linked to a criminal gang more than two weeks ago. bundled into vans and taken away. since then there has been no

sign of them. on saturday a mass grave was found outside the city. 28 bodies were recovered there. and then four more graves were found. in a news conference the state governor had this message for the families. >> i can confirm that some of the corpses, according to legal and forensic evidence, do not correspond to those of the students. the case of the missing students led to demonstrations across mexico. protesters incensed at the thought that some police could have colluded with criminal gangs to allow the students to be taken. there has been call for the president peno nieto to resign. so far me has given no sign of that. >> translation: today it is clear we must strengthen the government institutions at every level. this is particularly necessary

in those areas where due to different factors the local authorities have been overwhelmed. >> gang-related violence is endemic in new mexico. tens of thousands have been killed. despite presidential promises during that time, nothing seems to change. we'll relive the gory details of a big shock for germany in european qualifying in a few minutes. they were one of greece's biggest basketball clubs. but now why they have to come back from relegation and corruption.
