♪ this is al jazeera. ♪ welcome to the newshour at our headquarters here in doha. in the next 60 minutes, turkey said it's prepared to allow peshmerga fighters cross from iraq to help defend kolbane. winning the battle, nigeria begins the second west african state to be officially declared ebola free. >> a birthday to tand two cabin

ministers resign in a corruption scandal. efforts to create the world's largest marine reserve. welcome to the program. turkey has announced it will allow turkish peshmerga fighters to travel across the territory to join the war in syria. there has been no official response yet from iraqi kurds. now, the announcement from turkey's foreign minister came shortly after fightners kobane were resupplied with weapons and ammunition by the air force. >> the peshmerga, we are actually assisting the peshmerga forces. talks on the issue are still ongoing. we want the people from kolbane who have escaped to be able to return to their hometown and

live peacefully. >> we will speak to zeina hoda. let's bring in bernard smith on the turkey/syria border. bernard, you are, of course on the turkish syrian border. being allowed into turkey. al u-turn or a calculated move? >> reporter: well, we have spoken to syrian kurds in kolbane. and they haven't seen those peshmerga arrive yet, but they will be welcome if and when they do. for a long time, the syrian kurds said they have needed more weapons and also more reinforcements to push back on isil. we have seen -- we know the weapons have arrived and the medical aid and some food aid. they have confirmed that some 27 bundles from three different airdrops overnight. the weapons the kurds say they have received, and i quote, are

very, very good. they might be enough to help them push isil fighters out of the town of kolbane. but if they want to completely regain the whole region, area, they will need more weapons yet. certainly, there seems to be a decision to try and save kolbane from fall to go isil. turkey has been over a lot of pressure over the last four weeks, pressure it has resisted, particularly from the u.s., to do more in the military fight to save kolbane. turkey said they have had plenty of humanitarian assistance. 200,000 people or less than that from kolbane being refugees here turk hey resisted attempts to try to arm the kurds inside, but it looks like that might not be happening. >> turkey did have reservations about this airdrop from the u.s. why is that? >> reporter: well, because turkey has complaint all along

is that it views and erduowan says he views them as terrorists. they are allied to go syrian kurdish political group that he is allied to the kurdistan workers part which they have been in conflict with for 30 years. they see being asked to armed their enemies and weapons that could one day be used against teshingey. that was turkey's concern. >> it's a complicated chess game. we will continue to follow it. let's cross over to zeina hoda in erbil, an interesting statement being made by the turks. how is that being received by the kurds where you are? >> well, we haven't been able to get any official confirmation from the kurdistan regional government. we have spoken to officials. they are refusing to comment. we cannot confirm the peshmerga forces are, in fact, on their way to kolbane or whether

peshmerga forces will be sent at all. the president of the kgrb said he would be ready to send forces to help the kurds, but at the time, he was under a lot of pressure, a lot of pressure to help the kurdish brethren in neighboring syria. at the end of the day, we have to remember something the peshmerga are also at work with isil. and they are finding a lot of difficulties with holding the ground. they share a 1,000 kilometer border. we understand from peshmerga forces they lost even more territory today in the east of the country. so this is going to be a very difficult move. there are forces stretched thing. is this -- is this turkey trying to show the world that it is trying to compromise? it has been under a lot of pressure to do something proposing this thing which sundaying peshmerga forces when it knows it's almost near impossible because we have been speaking to commanders on the ground. they are very upset. they believe the krg decides to send peshmerga forces across the

border, their forces here will be under threat. >> we will see what does come out of erbil as the hours pass. for the moment, thank you. in iraq, five car bombs have exploded in the central city killing at least 15 people. in baghdad, 11 have been killed by a suicide bomber who blew himself up outside a shia mosque. imran khan is live for us in baghdad. a truly bloody day in baghdad. what more do we know about these blasts? and has anyone taken responsibility? >> reporter: no one has taken responsibility for these attacks so far, but we are expecting to see more of them. this is the holy month of moharum. sectarian violence in this country, we did see it last year and in the lead-up, we have seen a number of bombs go off. no one has claimed responsibility. as i say. but whether it's isil or

sectarian or comes from the same type of ideology we have seen attacks tit for tat in baghdad where bombs have gone off in n sunni neighborhoods and other attacks have been taking place in shia neighborhoods as well. a lot of this is to do with the fact that these bombs, the very difficult to conceal, very difficult, sorry, to detect. they are easily concealed because it's not traditional types of explosives we are seeing, tmt, much more household goods that are used to make this equipment and you can buy this in pretty much any shop here in baghdad if you know how to put the ingredients together. so, it's very difficult for the authorities to actually defend themselves against bombers like these because these bombs are easily concealed, for example, a man who was is able to walk in to the mosque, get into the prayer haul and detonate an explosive bomb. he simply wasn't detected. >> we will try to come back to

you as we know more. thanks for updating us on the situation in the iraqi capital. two yemen where houthi rebels are engaged in heavy fighting with tribal gunmen and al-qaeda fighters in the central town of radan. over 50 people have been killed. omar sulaf joins us from the yemeni capitol. what seems to have happened and why is this location so important in the chaos that seems to be ensuing across yemen? >> reporter: well, we understand the fighting is still ongoing in to fronts to the west of the town. one of is mainly between the shia houthi rebels against the al-qaeda fighters and the other one is between the tribes from that town with the shia houthis. the significance is that that province is a stronghold for

al-qaeda. it's been a stronghold for some time now with the houthis say that their revolution quote, unquote was aimed at corruption as well as the spread of al-qaeda fighters. so that's the importance of it. now, what is significant on all of this, there is the increasing sentiment among tribal leaders that the aim of the houthis go beyond targeting or wiping out al-qaeda forces they think this has a sectarian nature because the houthis are sending in their reinforcements from other forces near there and those forces are shia zeti. they think this has a sectarian aspect to it. there is tribal sensitivities that those tribes are taking over their territory. >> of course, we have seen, also, the resignation of the governor of sanaa. that's going to reverb rate nationally. >> reporter: absolutely. there is the wide belief here that the houthis are the new

king makers and that others their orders will be met because we understand that the houthis have demanded the resignation of the governor for the last three days. they have surrounded his home as well as his. so he had to answer that. gives an indication to the new prime minister who is trying to form a national unity government that the houthis will have a big say on the front of forming their government to understand the prime minister is in talks with a number of political parties, different faxes. there are big differences remain to be solved, and it is basically focused on the names of the candidates as well as how many minister -- ministries will be allocated to each political bloc. so, he has a tough job ahead of him to form a national unity government. >> we will come back to you, omar, as things develop there, also, in yemen. for the moment, thank you. still to come on the newshour: he has been nicknamed the people's president.

indian'ias's new leader, can he bring the people together? plus. >> i am in india where researchers believe as many as 6 million people a year are being infected with dengy fever. >> peyton manning passes an n.f.l. milestone. we will have all of the details in sport. the world health organization has declared nigeria ebola-free. it has had no reported cases of the virus for the past six weeks t joining me now from the capitol, some relief for nigeria. they really can't let their guard down. they are at the center where this epidemic is. >> reporter: exactly. people are very relieved. i think for weeks, people, some were panicking, worried about should i shake someone's hand? am i able to hug the person i am if i am in the same room with

someone who is going to be sick, am i going to catch it? people were quite worried. this news is good. it is a busy hub in west africa. lots of people come in and out of this country. there is a very good chance the virus could be brought back into nigeria if they are unable to stop it, that is. in the meantime, those who have lost family members, they are happy that you nigeria is ebola free but they are dealing with the fact that they have lost their loved ones. >> egelona became a nurse because she wanted to help people. the last person she tried to save had ebola. and she became infected. she was 30 years old and pregnant with her first child. her husband can't accept that she is dead. >> and that she left me. this was not planned. so many times, we wanted to be

together. i feel lost. i feel left alone. >> reporter: the man who infected her came to nigeria on a commercial flight from linebiera in july. he collapsed at the airport in lagos and was taken to the hospital where she worked. he was nigeria's first ebola case in the current epidemic, the index patient. government officials say eight people have died from ebola. most of them, health workers. measures were put in place by the government to try to contain the virus such as screening at border posts and airports. >> it's a process everyone has to go through. this machine checks your body temperature. if it's 38 degree setsous sell or higher, it will beep. >> the world health organization says a country can be declared free of ebola after six week without any new cases. >> that's twice as long as the

maximum incubation period for the disease. there was relief and excitement in nigeria. some of these health workers helped potential patients and there have been thousands of daily follow-up visits. it's good news. nigerian officials are warning people to still be cautious even though the president has already announced the country is ebola-free. >> it's not yet over until it's over. >> means it has to be over in liberia and new guinea and sierra leone and anywhere before we can be relaxed. >> this certificate issued by the government says dennis is ebola-free. it's an achievement he is not yet ready to celebrate. he said it won't bring back his wife. >> it's not easy. >> the human impact remains. people like that do have to pick up the pieces with very little state help. >> reporter: exactly. i called dennis to ask him what he thought about this announcement by nigeria being

ebola-free. he said listen, he still misses his wife but he said if her dying and other health workers dying could maybe have saved millions of nigerians lives, maybe it was meant to be. his main concern is: will the government learn from this, be better prepared in case there are other ebola outbreaks and, two, the issue of stigma. he was fired. his boss said you can't come to work because you would make people sig. some of the neighbors wanted to move out of the neighborhood because he is scared they might make him sick. despite this, people don't really believe he is not contagion. people are scared. they will have to deal with stigma and get health workers in the countryside, monitoring people, making sure people are okay, educating people. it takes resources which if a country doesn't seem to have, he has admitted this. at the same time, the government said because it seems to have a success story. it's deployed health workers to see array leone, to new begguin

a long way to go for west africa in terms of dealing with the ebola outbreak, but for now, good news here in nigeria. >> indeed. loose cross over to the german capitol where officials are discussing ways to act against ebola. make gregor wood is there. i am sure you heard haru talking about the good news out of nigeria but it is a mixed message with the victims, themselves or their families having to pick up the pieces. so a concrete action plan is from the global community. >> that's what the global community at large wants to see coming out of this meeting berlin. >> reporter: yes, and although the meeting here is more of a talking job, if you would, of medical experts and some experts, these are not necessarily the people who control the purse strings. global response but what we have

been hearing this morning in berlin is this great sense of frustration from some of the ngos, doctors without borders, about the slow response, how it is getting in to gear, but there is a lingering resentment, i think, amongst many people at this conference about why it was that the international community woke up to the very clear signs, they claim, that this was going to be unprecedented disaster. things are starting to happen. but what we now need to see is the money. once the money is provided into real facilities on the ground, there is no substitute for new clinics, new materials, new doctors, new nurses, and these three countries in west africa in particular need those things in huge volume to get on top of this crisis. >> of course, this meeting continues until wednesday, simon. we will continue to come back to berlin when new lines come out from that meeting. thanks for the moment.

apologizing to the nation for making bad cabinet choices. he accepted the resignation of his justice minister and trade minister. both have resigned. both women, stepped down on allegations they have misused election funds. now journalist mike en penn said it may benefit the japanese opposition. >> in many ways, it's the first major stumble of the second obay administration. he has had a remarkable run since he came in to power the second time in december, 2012, and for the first time, you can see some political oxygen being given to the opposition parties, which they haven't had for a long time even though we are seeing two ministers step down over campaign finance scandaled today, it isn't so much a reflex of the fact that japanese politics is deeply corrupt, it's more a reflex of the fact that the japanese public is

completely allergic to any hints of corruption, and both of these ministers, themselves, may not have actually done much wrong. it may have been just people in their offices making mistakes, but they are taking responsibility as the japanese public would expect them to do. >> now, hong kong's leader has accused what he calls external forces of being involved in the ongoing protests there. he refused to name the countries he thinks may be to blame. protests are entering their fourth week as the political deadlock continues. activists want free and fair elections in the territory. indonesia's newly installed president yoko woodoo has been kweblingd by thousands of supporters. he was cheered through the streets of jakarta. here is more. >> his supporters promised to give him a big party and that's exactly what will he got.

jokuwee, as he is popularly known was accompanied thouby thousands of people all over indonesia. he has promised al mental revolution. >> that's what we need. our corrupt mentality has to change. >> despite threats to boycott the inauguration, his political opponents all attended. they even included one who has led a hostile opposition against the president ever since he lost the election. >> i say, let us all work hard together, shoulder to shoulder, because this is an historic moment. we need to move together to work, work and work. >> they call him the people's president and the people are throwing him a huge party, a party of unification after the country was hopelessly divided so many months. tomorrow, the real hard work will start. >> unpopular measures will likely have to be taken soon, cutting fuel sud subsiddeeds.

his government will face a serious challenge. >> definitely, there will be opposition, especially some from the public and, also, from opposition political parties, but i think what he is doing here, he is at a peak of his public opinion support. this is a very controversial move but needed for the economy to real indicate the money for badly needed infrastructure projects. >> many are celebrating what they call the start of a new era. the president has been given five years to improve life for indonesians. al jazeera, jakarta. >> let's take a look at the global weather now with richard. it seems that talking about the pending europe has to beware. >> the remnants of hurricane gonzalo, down to close to the lesser antillies up to bermuda

towards new finland. across the atlantic and we will see it pushing across the u.k. this arrival of the remnants -- make it clear it is the remnants of hurricane gonzalo will bring about a significant change. we have more unsettled weather across northern parts of europe but toward the south, things are looking settled. some of the pictures coming in from the beaches of spain and italy, you see people enjoying the most of the late season sunshine, water temperatures fairly high at this time of year but it's looking good. >> that's a stark contrast to what's further north with snow pushing in and significant rainfall pushing across parts of lithuania, for example, all away that area of cloud, heavy rain indeed as we look at the forecast, yes, snow from moscow in the north. still, fine weather hanging across much of the mediterranean region looking good at the moment. this area of low pressure towards the western, the u.k. which begins to push in. some really strong winds expected to head through into tuesday.

sick. he had a fever of 10 fire degrees. scan there was a rash all over his fever. his head hurt. he even felt pain behind his eyes. >> the 11-year-old school boy has been diagnosed with a severe strain of dengy fever. he is one of around 20,000 cases officially reported in x india annually. a new study by american and indian researchers indicates as many as 6 million people are infected by the mosquitos-borne illness each year and their cases are not being reported. dengy fever has been what's called a notefiable illness since 1996. this means that doctors are required by law to report new cases to the government. public hospitals like this one pass on the information, but researchers say many in the private sector do not.

>> virus transmission issues. >> researchers say it's crucial th doctors report even suspected cases of the potentially deadly illness. >> when we look at the indian map, and places from where cases are reported, there are a lot of blank areas or blight areas where there is no reporting of cases, which is highly unlikely. dengy occurs in every part of the country. >> researchers say india is believed to have the highest number of dengee cases in the world. every year, the government takes measures to stop the spread of the disease-carrying mosquitos. doctors say the country's poor reporting system is failing policy makers. >> it's no longer this is the number of patients. so many require hospitalization. it will help the government to make the policies. >> reporter: dengee already costs the country degree more than a billion dollars each year in medical and other expenses.

welcome to the news hour. top stories, police sources in iraq say at least 11 people have been killed in baghdad after a suicide bombing at the shia mosque. five car bombs have exploded killing at least 15 people. nigh ye nigeria is ebola-free according to the world health organization. there have been no reported cases of the virus in the country for the past six weeks. more than 4 and a half thousand people have died from ebola in west africa. turkey says its agreed to allow peshmerga fighters from iraq to travel across its territory to join the war in syria. kurdish sources in iraq have told acce told access they have yet to respond to the offer. kurdish forces have been resupplied by the air force as we mentioned earlier in the program. weapons, ammunition and medical

supplies were dropped in via the air. reaction from inside syria. >> reporter: isil forces tried to surround kobane, standing in their way, syrian kurdish fighters on the ground. now, resupplied by a nighttime american air drop of weapons and medical supplies. >> in the very early hours, a good quantity of weapons, amnicians and military equipment were air dropped by the american planes over kobane. the quantities of weapons were good. they were not bad at all. and will positively affect our effor efforts. we thank america and we hope for more support and aid. >> even after dozens of u.s.-led airstrikes on the week town last week, kurdish weapons were calling for more. they are armed with heavy artillery. >> as you know, kobane is under

a siege. for a long time, we haven't received any weapons oram in addition. >> that's why the arrival of these weapons is good. >> isil wants to push kurdish fighters out of kobane and take control. it would give them control of hundreds of kilometers of territory. whether they will be stopped in part depends upon how well equipped kurdish forces are and can be. randolph nogle, al jazeera. >> haa senior fellow at chatham house and a retired turkish general, thank you for joining us. how should we read the announcement made by the turkish foreign minister that iraqi kurds could cross into syria from their border? >> i think the announcement is about the decision to assist. but yet, we do not know the scale and the nature of this, this assistance. and i think this is just to take

the pressure off from the turkish government. obviously, there are some high expectations from turkey. and turkish government feel quite cornered. and i read this statement as a way to delay a firm action in this respect. >> how do you think this is going to be received by the turkish public, especially the large kurdish population who felt the last few weeks as we have seen on the streets of turkey, the country has not done enough to support the kurdish fighters in kolbane. >> look. of course, i very well understand this approach, this view, this rhetoric, but one needs to bear in mind that there is a huge turkish population, also, within turkey, and you know, this is all about an independent kurdistan within the region. you know, we love talking about

morali morality, et cetera, and international relations but it's about interests. and in tissuing, the turkish government and the turkey public opinion ironically sees a great threat to turkish interests in this respect. actually, the turkish society politically and zid lod-- and ideologically is divided. but over this issue, this kolbane issue of allotments is serving as leverage to this within turkish society. >> what's going on as much influenced by the pending election that isforth coming in the country and that the government, itself, also has to try and find a way to keep both sides, you might say, of turkish society, those that are pro-kurdish and the general turkish population on side as

they come to those general elections. >> reporter: >> yes, of course, you are absolutely right. the problem is, this situation, this conflict within turkey, has been going for the last 30, 35 years. this is not new. but this issue, these recent developments came to the attention of the world public opinion only recently, but the bigger picture actually is quite missing. so the situation within turkey and the ongoing, you know, coming elections next year in june are much more important from turkish perspective than what's going on syria or iraq now. >> so how do you then perhaps analyze the pressure that turkey might have come under in the past few weeks? one of the comments has been made about kolbane is that this

site has been in the limelight, has been seen and broadcast all over the world because the cameras are right there on the border and now, you have the u.s. that has air dropped weapons to kurdish fighters. is there -- would you say turkey has had its arm twisted? >> yes. i mean whatever it takes, i believe turkey will never enter into syria in actual practical support of kurd fooishters there. fight . i can understand the sensitivity. it is right over there across the border t reporting 24 hours, t.v. cameras reporting. this is how i read the situation. scan the political position of the turkish government, it seems they are determined not to get involved. perhaps something only symbolic

may come out only. >> as time progresses, the details of how these things unfold will come to light. for the moment, from chatham house, thank you for joining us from our london studio. thank you, sir. libya's supreme court has delayed a decision on the legitimacy of one of two rival part-time parliament. there has been a power vacuum since gadaffi was killed exactly three years ago. let's go to al jazeera's nasa nasar al badri following events over the past few days. you have been outside the court, itself, and we have been waiting for a court decision about which of these parliaments is the legitimate voice of the libyan people. what's being said? >> reporter: the decision of the constitutional division within the libyan high court has been anticipated in light of the argument that has been presented to the court during the morning

sessions. the mp, the legal representatives of the 30 or so mps who boycotted the sessions of the libyan parlorp parliamen meeting is unconstitutional and should be regarded as illegal and the libyan general congress is the legal body. however, the other side, the other representatives of the libyan and peace gathered have argued that there is an initiative that is a peace initiative that is an initiative tofied a middle ground between the two sides is in progress and, therefore, there should be a delay in the court's decision to the 5th of november to allow this mediation to -- this mediation will be led by constitutional lawyers, experts in libyan constitutional law. in the meantime, the political vacuum in the country will

continue during this 15-day period, in which the public parliament will claim legitimacy. however, the parliamentarians gathered here in the city of tripoli, the libyan capitol, will also claim legitimacy. >> the public will be waiting and don't want this to be delayed any further because fighting ensues around them. especially in benghazi and around the country. briefly bring us up to speed on what's been happening on monday. >> reporter: on the frontline, both the western front in line, front line around, it has been much quieter in the last few days. there has been an exchange of artillery fire between the forces loyal to the renegade general hasta. on the eastern side of the city of benghazi, it is quiter.

there have been sporadic skirmishes between the forces loyal to hasta and those to the goal of libya operation. there hasn't been any reports of casualties so far. however, there has been talk of an initiative brokered by the united nations to allow for a cease-fire, especially around the cities of kikla to allow for humanitarian relief to be delivered to the civilian population and allow, also, for the injured people to be transported into hospitals. nothing has been confirmed regarding this initiative but there is very strong indications that that might be the case may be. we will know about this within the next few days or hours. >> we will come back to you as that develops. for the moment, thank you for joining us. now, human rights watch estimates that 132 students in egypt have been arrested since the academic year began over one week ago. at cairo university on sunday,

rains: nine people were killed when the war collapsed in a row of houses. dominic kane reports. >> the rains have gone for the moment. the damage they brought remains. the mud these machines are clearing conceals the buried houses of some families. torrential rains fell on nicaragua over the course of last week. weakening buildings and other structures in the capital city. then, on thursday night, this wall collapsed. rescuers worked into the early hours to save those buried. sometimes, too late for those they found. several were pulled out alive. the government had evacuated this area five years ago during another period of heavy rainfall. some people did return. one of the survivors explained why he came back. >> we are here not because we want to run the risk of dying, but by necessity, because i

don't earn enough to buy land. if we could, we would be elsewhere. so here we are, and now the land has been filled with water and shaking from earthquakes. this place can collapse any time. >> nicaragua is prone to torrential rain and earthquakes. the government's response is usually to evacuate at-risk areas. but many of those rehoused complain about where they are placed. often, far from where they work and in big towns and cities. following thursday's events, 117 families have been moved to temporary accomodation. dominic kane, al jazeera. pilots at german's largest airline, luftanza are on a 35 hour strike over retirement benefits. at a time will affect short and medium haul flights and could affect more than 200,000 passengers. the strike will be extended to long-haul flights on tuesday. >> young, educated, city-born
