[chanting] more demonstrations in egypt as university staff protest against the planned overhaul of the law. watching from affair and tears for the homeland we meet the syrian kurds who fled the fight

with isil in kobane and removing barricades in hong kong to clear protest sites. ♪ but first u.n. secretary general bank -- banki-moon is thanking for the money to rebuild gaza and he spoke and said the palestinian government will play the lead role in managing the funds and 50 day conflict with israel and gaza led to 100,000 palestinians losing their homes. >> the palestinian government of consensus will talk about managing these funds and supervising gaza's construction, reconstruction with the support of the international community.

we would like the see the unity government in assuming its right for responsibilities and functions in gaza. >> i have stressed to secretary general banki moon that the programs and aid will never achieve the goals unless the israeli blockade is lifted and liberate the palestinian national economy and get rid of the israeli domination on the movement of goods and people. >> reporter: we can go live to our correspondent who is actually in gaza and that of course is where the secretary general banki moon is due to visit pretty soon. >> that's right. banki moon will be arriving here on tuesday. he is expected to be part of the gaza strip which has been effectively reduced to rubble during israel's seven week bombardment of the gaza strip. he will of course be meeting

with various members of the unity government here, with members of the u.n. which are based here as well. but this isn't the first time banki moon has come to gaza, the last time he was here was this 2009, he came following what was described by israel as operation cat led, that conflict was a very serious conflict, hundreds were killed in that and now he is coming back again after yet another conflict, this time a much more serious conflict as we have been saying nearly 2200 people were killed in that war. and it is perhaps why mr. ban used such strong language in the press briefing we heard from him saying the endless, mindless suffering of the people of gaza needs to end. and he went on to say that all sides need to work harder so

that a two-state solution is effectively agreed. and the words he used was that both sides needed to act immediately for that. >> and as with all reconstruction building materials are critical and the u.s. secretary general thinking there is some sort of mechanism in place which will allow in building materials like concrete. now, this could be quite significant. >> that's right. one of the main reasons concrete is such a sticking point for the israelis and having the material to allow inside the gaza strip a tiny piece of land which they blockaded since 2007, by blockading they don't really let anything out let alone anything in. but the reason concrete is so controversial is they believe that hamas, which up until the unity government was formed a few months ago which has been in control of the gaza strip they

use the concrete and material to build tunnels into israel and that is one of the reasons israel said that this war they engaged in that was one of their key objective was to destroy those tunnels so the fact the u.n. secretary general is saying construction materials and especially concrete there may be some sort of agreement to allow it in is very significant. it underscores the serious challenges here in the gaza strip particularly when it comes to reconstruction. although the money is now there, $5.4 billion and half going to construction, unless the blockade is lifted and unless israel allows materials to go in the reconstruction of the gaza strip won't happen. so again a very complicated situation but again as you have been saying hope now there appears to be some agreement to allow building materials in. >> and thank you very much, mts is a man in gaza keeping his eye on events there, of course

especially as the u.s. secretary general arrives and people have been injured in jerusalem where they confronted palestinian demonstrated and tear gas by the mosque revered by muslims and jews and israeli soldiers tried to clear the holy site before a planned visit by israeli worshippers celebrating the festival of sukute and we are outside the mosque and bring us right up to date there mimi. >> reporter: well, it all started at 6:00 a.m. in the morning when muslim worshippers were not allowed to allowed to enter and pray. shortly after 6:00 a.m. in the morning the israeli police raided the compound and locked in the mosque palestinian young men who have been overnighting in the mosque in reaction to news that far right wing activists were planning to enter the site and pray and this is what happened alongside jewish

tourists who arrived at the site, far right jewish member of parliament was allowed to enter the site by israeli police according to eyewitnesses he also prayed there in the compound and he publically called for the third holly shrine in islam to pray and they refuse of course. these clashes have been on the rise in some cases. >> okay, mimi, thank you very much indeed. now, university in egypt planning to protest on monday against a proposed overhaul of college laws, at least six students were arrested on sunday during illegal protest at the university of cairo and islamic al-izar and coincided with the start of the academic year and we report. >> reporter: students out in the thousands across university

campuses and they say if the protests end then the world will think everything is fine in egypt and the campaign says students are back and demonstrating against the coup and what they say is a violation of basic rights. among the charged crowd were the supporters of the now out lawed muslim brotherhood and as many of other activists opposed to the active government. scanners and gates through a private security firm didn't help and students were angry at the arrangements and some say water bottles were being confiscated. >> we are trying as much as possible to avoid any clashes with security forces and they storm into campuses and they are haphazardly and trying as much as possible to be away from that and if they know the students are protesting they expend them right away so we cover our heads and cover our faces and trying to do very peaceful contact.

>> reporter: exercising the right to disagree comes at a risk. egypt has ban demonstrations and security forces have the right to bar any public gathering of more than ten people. student leaders say more than 1800 people have been jailed so far for stating their opinion. the arrests are seen as part of a wider crack down against supporters of the former government. human rights watch accuse egypt security forces of silencing decent and brute use of force. and it's not just aggravated students. university staff are also concerned over the government's at attempts university policies and they are trying to talk about faculty members, president sisi government has stricter laws and arrests and tighter security does not appear to be curbing all of this, the government may need another plan to deal with 2 million higher education students, thousands of

respect to dash. kobane is one community and it's a tragedy of what is happening there. and we don't diminish that. but we have said from day one it is going to take a period of time to bring the coalition thoroughly to the table, to rebuild some of the morale and capacity of the iraqi army, and to begin to focus where we ought to be focusing first, which is in iraq, . it is iraqis who will have to take back iraq. it is iraqis and ambar who will have to fight for ambar and we are confident just as that happened before that can and will happen again though it will take sometime to build that capacity in order for it to be able to be effective. so no one should anticipate as president obama said from day one, no one has been guilty of

any exaggerated expectation here, certainly not from the administration. the military leaders, the civilian leaders from day one have said this will be difficult, this will take time, we have to rebuild, we have to constitute the coalition, responsibilities have to be divided up, people to have get to their place of responsibility and that is taking place now. and we also continued our conversations to help define the specific role that egypt will play in the coalition against isil, we are very grateful for president sisi's and prime minister eastern gaugement -- engagement from the word go and have been involved and as president obama made clear the united states is committed to degreating and ultimately

what they were up against. >> translator: isil has so many fighters from different countries and most north africa like nigeria and one was moroccan and have heavy weapons like tanks and artillery. >> reporter: in this private hospital there are several other fighters being treated, they refuse to tell us who is paying for their treatment but local sources told us it was most likely the pkk. barely old enough to graduate from high school 17-year-old is another one of those injured in the battle for kobane. >> translator: isil fighters were ten meters away from us and suddenly i got shot at that moment, i was alone, my friends were not near me, i promised not to let them capture me, as they got closer to me i was ready to blow myself up. >> reporter: i asked him if he was scared. >> translator: yes, to be honest i was scared when i was shot but my belief in the resistance and solidarity with

my friends made we stronger. i wanted to keep fighting to protect my home land from foreigners and take revenge because many of our people have been killed. >> reporter: on another bed sits a young kurd from northern iraq, he had traveled to kobane because he says it's his duty to defend the kurdish nation. >> translator: isil is abusing and hijacking islam for actions and this is not islam, we are muslim too and they captured our friends and beheaded them but our faith remains strong. >> reporter: he refused to send in ground troops to cobrain and some kurd continue to demand it does these fighters say they don't want the kurdish army to intervene, what they lack in weapons they makeup in conviction. i'm with al jazeera. we've got a lot more to come here at al jazeera including more protests against the killings in the u.s. state of
