challenge is how to unite a divided country. south africa in shock after it's football captain is shot dead during a robbery. >> they have breaking news right out of spain where a number of high profile arrests have taken place across the country. police operation being described as one of the biggest anti-corruption crackdowns in the country history. for more let's now cross to the line to a journalist based out of madrid. what more can you tell us about the investigation and the arrest? >> well, just major anti-corruption, more than 50 people have been arrested so far. among them a number of mayors

from towns and among those senior politicians to the people's party and also to people's socialist. this is the case o that warded contract to businessmen and the police estimate that perhaps 250 million euros were awarded in the last two years. >> some of those arrested were from the prime minister's party. how do you see this affecting the government? >> reporter: well, the truth is that there are lots of corruption scandals now affecting the ability in spain. they do affect the ruling party a lot, but in general the political classes reputing

spain. there are now, for example, this new political party, which is very leftist and it's believed next year it could be the second or third political party in spain. it does add to the sense of gloom in the political class in spain, a sense of anger among the general population. >> thank you for that report out of madrid. suicide-bombers have attacked a government compound in afghanistan. six police officers and four fighters have been killed. the taliban said it carried out the assault because of the harsh

judgment of its members in prison. it follows two blasts over the weekend. let's now go to jennifer glasse, who joins us live in kabul. the taliban is claiming responsibility for this latest attack. what has been the government response? >> reporter: they've been busy with this attack all day. it's been six hours to dislodge those attackers, a terrible blow for the of a gab government. six prosecutors killed, nine injured including one woman. they were all killed in the prosecutors office. a blow that these fighters could get into the government building. those buildings are heavily protected and heavily guarded to try to keep these kinds of attacks from happening, so a very difficult day for the

afghan forces fighting against the suicide attackers. the taliban has kept up the pressure on the afghan forces across afghanistan all year now. the afghan forces, 350,000 of them are in the lead here in afghanistan. nato's forces are we drawing very quickly. we saw the forces leave hilman province. >> this comes a day after british forces hand over a military camp to military forces. no doubt there will be some nervousness in issues of security in afghanistan. >> they're very aware this is a very young army, it does not have all the equipment and air support that the departing

support had. there will be a follow on force here, a small follow on force of 12,000 nato soldiers to support the afghan forces in the areas. but in attacks like this one afghan forces very much on their own in afghanistan there are no nato bases any more, the afghan forces will really have to fight it out on their own. they'll be prepared as they move forward fully in the lead and in control of their own security. >> jennifer glasse reporting from kabul. well, yemeni fighter jets have hit. on the ground houthi fighters are fighting al-qaeda in the

area south of the capitol. 30 people were reportedly killed in the al-qaeda stronghold on sunday. yemen's weak central government face as growing separatist movement in the south. >> reporter: in the south yemen feelings are running high. they've called for protests in favor of dependence. they want to unify their positions for the common goal in south yemen. >> the south has one heart and one opinion. we don't tear about talks in the north. >> recent gains made by mouth rebels have withdrawn from the military landscape. they control the capitol sanaa

and have been moved from the traditional stronghold. houthis are engaged in the city south of sanaa. government jets and u.s. drones have been operating in the area, but it is believed that they're helping al-qaeda rather than the houthies. fighting in the province is getting worse as local tribes seek to hold the houthi advance. there are now fears of a wider secretarwider sectarian battle. >> no matter has the right to fight al-qaeda apart from the government, and no one should fight provinces. i call them to withdraw from all provinces.

which has helped them to hold off isil. let's have a chat with bernard smith who join us now near kobane. what more can you tell us about the latest in the fighting? >> heavy overnight fighting sunday night has continued throughout the day. the black smoke that you can see rising above kobane, that's from tires that have been set fire by kurdish and isil fighters. we're not sure if it was a car bomb or an airstrike coming in. fighter jets have been coming in over head, and without them the syrian kurdish fighters would

have found it very difficult to keep control of the border. they've been attacking it yet again, very difficult on the ground to know who controls what areas, but we understand--we believe essentially still something of a stalemate. the isil forces advance, and they're repelled by the kurds with the help of airstrikes, and that pattern has been going on for several days. >> all right, thank you very much. that's bernard smith speaking to us from the syria-turkey border. elsewhere in syria rebel fighters have ranched a coordinated attack on a government-held city they've managed to capture three army check points. the city is close to an important supply root that links aleppo to the capitol of damascus. stephanie dekker has more now from neighboring lebanon. >> this has been a coordinated

push on the government-held city of idlib. we hear in the early morning hours they held check points on the outskirts of the city, and we know that a few of their fighters managed to get in from the city. however, television confirmed the attack and said that the city is secured. we know that the government is responded with attract and using air bombs in those areas around the city of idlib. people will tell you that it will be hard for the group to take over the stronghold from the government, and we need to talk about the humanitarian basket of thi impact. people will tell you if this becomes a new front line the humanitarian affect will be

huge. >> a suicide-bomber killed 21 people and wounded 37 other people. it took place in a town recently taken by isil from the iraqi army. hundreds of thousands of people in the kurdish town have had to leave people behind. >> i'm her mother. she is my baby. i have lost the dearest thing in my life. they were forced to leave the town when isil fighters overran in august. her husband is blind. he sifts through the family i.d. card so his son can find the one that belonged to his three-year-old sister christina.

my heart cries out for my daughter. i don't know how she is. i have no information at all. >> ida's bus was ordered to follow an isil armed vehicle. they were driven out of town and left in the desert. it took them ten hours to walk to erbil, the regional capitol of northern iraq. the family now live in makeshift cubicles in this unfinished shopping mall. 400 families stay here in comparison of hundreds of thousand who face winter's intense these people are fortunate, but there is fear and uncertainty here. especially for those like ida, whose daughter was left behind. ida's story is not uncommon. there are increasing reports of families who say that isil have taken their daughters. for the time being there is

her to level against the state-run oil company. our latin america editor reports from the capitol brasilia. she is calling on brazilians to unite. >> i would like oh greet and thank all brazilians with no exceptions i urge you to unite for the future of our future and our people. i do not feel that these elections have divided the country into two halfs. the elections mobilize ideas and emotions that have at times been contradictory, but they have been driven by a shared feeling, the search for a better future for our country. >> let's go live to rousseffs hometown. she may have won but how is it

being received in brazil? >> reporter: that's absolutely right, the day after this historic and most unpredictable election in brazil history. they're going to be talking about this for decades to come. at no other time was there an election this close. i can tell you that rousseff supporters have a relief that she'll get another four years, and 29% did not vote or voted for nobody, so she has got lots of challenges ahead. now tell me first of all what is

their biggest challenge after this? >> she has won the social program debate and the opposition is going to deal with that if they're going to go back to the president. but the flaws are in the economy. she'll have to deal with that fiscal issue. all of these will be in the next few years. >> what about the economy. the markets are saying they're not happy with rousseff victory. what is she going to do about that? >> she'll have to make adjustments but not adjustments that will put the social programs into risk. but it could effect social programs and. >> it was a big issue in this campaign, but she won. that's all that ultimately she

won. >> i've talked to people in the government, and they said if she wins we'll ignore these programs and do what we think will help the country in the long run. >> how did she do it with so many problems in brazil? >> she energized her base like no time in the last 12 years or so. the other one she made a campaign of rejection. 40% of the electorate rejected her. and it was unprecedented, dramatic and relieved to see this all ended. it's just a gruesome campaign, and glad it's over. >> he has been covering this for a long time, as we have been here. clearly a relief by a lot of people.

is leading. what does it mean for to you niece i can't. >> they have to do business with many political parties.

>> washington has congratulated tunisia on the polls. it is saying that tunisia remains a beacon of hope to the world. is this enthusiasm being shared across tunisia? >> definitely, and also by the international community. the problem here is that people remember what happened here in neighbo neighboring libya. at the same time they all know this is still a fragile

political process it means that the international community wants this to be a genuine, peaceful smooth transition, otherwise they have to grapple with another country facing more instability and violence. this is something that could pave the way for groups to launch many attacks. >> it should be interesting to see what the development happens. thank you, live from tunisia. let's go to richard. we have heavy rain hitting south america. >> meteorologist: yes, we've got a front that is interacting with this area of play.

it's tropical depression number 9. you can see this area of cloud stuck over the region. that's given some very heavy rain over honduras. 73 millimeters, and if you put it in context of what we normally expect at this time going into november you're probabl probably looking at two - to three-weeks of rain. half a million people could be affected by drought at the moment, so they appreciate that rainfall. but it does create problems because of the hard-baked ground there could be potential run offs. now the rain is affecting guatemala. they've named this clump of cloud as tropical storm hanna. that's something that we'll monitor for the day, but the

bulk is going from cancun with heavy rain in the coming days. >> thank you. much more to come. we report from nigeria on the women and girls taken by boko haram and the families wait forgive their return. and teammates and officials pay tribute to the football captain shot dead during a robbery. we have more in sport.

built in ram at schlomo and 400 in har homa. thank you for being with us today. what's your take-- >> michael: thank you. >> what is your take to expand on jewish settlement? >> i think netanyahu wants to preserve his coalition government at the expense of the palestinians. he does not want them to lead their elections, therefore will have to please the settlement in his cabinet and his own party. at the expense of the palestinians. >> now this, of course, comes at a time of heightened tension between the israelis and the palestinians. is this expansion ported by a majority of israelis? or is it really a right-wing

minority behind this push? >> last week it showed that 75% of israelis across the board, both veterans and the sectors of the population, 75% of israelis are saying no for the creation of palestinian state. 75% are not willing to give up any part of the jordan valley, and more than 80% of the israelis are saying no for any division of jerusalem. so if this is the general attitude inside israel, we're not talking about the government, but i think the whole israeli society has become

so marginalizing in light of what's happening around us. >> plain to us, talk to us about the centrist in the ca knesset. you say that they may be polarized by the peace process, but are the centrists and knesset so weak that they're unable to stop this expansion? >> according to the poll, less than 18%. we didn't see difference regarding the jerusalem or the jordan valley. so i think that marginalized left party, 15% have no say.

they're either in the knesset or in the government, therefore they do not take it into account. the strong settler movement which is now dominating the israeli policy. >> it's been great talking with you, the general director of the applied institute speaking to us from bethlehem. nigeria girls who escaped the boko haram group have given details of their torture and rape during captivity. their accounts have been published by the human rights groups. it is said that 500 women and girls from the northern nigerian area have been abducted by boko haram since 2009. the group is calling to stop all attacks and immediately release all those in custody but
