tv   News  Al Jazeera  October 30, 2014 6:00am-7:01am EDT

6:00 am
. >> announcer: this is al jazeera. welcome to the program, you're watching the al jazeera newshour. this is some of what we'll be studying in detail in the next 60 minutes. sweden the first european power to recognise the state of palestine. security tight across jerusalem as israeli men kill a suspected right wing israeli rabbi more homes destroyed in egypt as people are forced out
6:01 am
to make way for a buffer zone next to gaza tunisia democracy in action. a separatist party over taking to win elections. >> and... >> when he meets me, he'll pay his debts, i can drown a drink of water and drink a dead tree, wait until you see mohammed ali it's 40 years since the rumble in the jungle between mohammed ali and george foreman the palestinian wan president mahmoud abbas hailed -- president, mahmoud abbas hailed sweden to acknowledge them as a state. the prime minister said:.
6:02 am
>> mahmoud abbas called for other countries to stand by sweden saying: our correspondent with the action in a moment. first to the swedish capital. margo, a press conference was given in swedish. you listened in to that. what was elaborated on? >> well, the foreign minister emphasised a few times that the reason for this recognition was because of the structure and interrupted peace talks. he was criticized not just within her government, which was a left center government, but also on the former government.
6:03 am
who had another stand when it came to the palestine israeli conflict. the press conference is going on, and the question she is getting is why now, and why is it so important for sweden that there's another stand towards the conflict for a long time to do this, after a few weeks in power to her and her government. >> does it matter to sweden about its relationship with israel. israel was said to be furious. will the dynamic between the two countries change much? >> it's up to others to say, but sweden has a tradition, but when the prime minister at the time, all of parliament started to do talks with the palestinians, it actually changed dramatically in the foreign policy, but since it has been pro-palestine. keep in mind it was the three left parties that supported
6:04 am
this, the center party agreed for palestine, but they think it's rushed, the decision, and also it is not very good timing. as i said earlier, the alliance which is the conservative and the liberals, they are against this. this is a social democratic decision. >> we now move to imtiaz tyab live from the mound of olives in east jerusalem. 24 hours ago when they were given advance notice, they would be furious about this, and that would not have changed. >> certainly not. the israeli government, when it was announced by sweden's government, that it was going to recognise a state of palestine, the ambassador was called into the interior ministry for questioning. israel made it known they were
6:05 am
not happy, and reports at the time from sweden, that it would be some months before this government in stockholm would go ahead with this decision to formally recognise the palestinian state. defying the odds it did it a few weeks later. the palestinian leadership welcoming this and urging other countries to do so. the israelis not happy. >> this is not the only story, back with you in a moment. there has been confrontations between israeli police, security forces and protesters after the shooting of a right wing activist. rabbi yehudglick had been protesting. the gunman was killed in a fire
6:06 am
fight, leadering to the closure of the temple, the noble sanctuary. the alabbing sea mosque is in occupied east jerusalem, israel in control of that site, the holiest site for the jews. muslims refer to is as the nobel sanctuary, and is home to two important sites in islam. the dome of the rock, and as you can see to the south in our picture at least, of the al- absque mosque. muslims are allowed to visit. jews are not allowed to pray there. imtiaz tyab is back with us. this is a troubled city, and there's been confrontations. in terms of where this sits, building tensions across east jerusalem, where does it stand in the eyes of people covering
6:07 am
these events for months, years. >> i think when you speak to people who have been covering the conflict for a long time. most agree there's something different. for months there has been tensions, and it only is getting worst, it appears: when you consider you go to palestinian neighbourhoods, like behind me, where the far right jewish groups are buying neighbourhoods in these areas. that is seen as highly provocative. when you consider the fact that the israeli government announced huge expansion projects in different parts of occupied east jerusalem, and add to the mix that we have seen a number of neighbourhoods where palestinian youths had near nightly confrontations, many saying that
6:08 am
they have been caught up in collective punishments through the actions of the security force, all of this leading to what we have seen now, which is a charged and tense situation, typified by the fact that behind me in the alabbing sea mosque compound, it has been closed to worshippers, that has made many upset. there's a number of people who have come to the area to pray. they weren't allowed. what this appears to be is a situation that is building, but no one nose where it's going to go. many are not predicting it will go well. >> thank you to imtiaz tyab, and linda knew berg in -- new bearing in stock holing
6:09 am
pictures obtained by al jazeera shows the car bomb attack in the sinai peninsula. 31 soldiers were killed in the blast last friday. it brought forward plans to create a buffer zone between egypt and the gaza strip. 480 homes will be destroyed to make way. the rafah border crossing between gaza and egypt is closed. we'll show you the borges the aftermath of the border with the gaza strip. hundreds are affected. and many have been removed from their homes. egypt says it will stop attackers getting into northern sinai. the high commissioner for human rights navy pillay implaued egypt and its forces to respect
6:10 am
the rule of law. >> i covered this in my early days as commissioner. in 2009 it was problematical that egyptian forces were shooting at people, presumably trying to cross the sinai into israel. i think the situation is worse in terms of the lawlessness with which the egyptian forces are seeking to, in their words, contain the situation. they have to respect the human right of all people, including migrants, including those populations who are settled there. if they suspect that anyone is attempting to cross the border illegally, or is attempting to commit some crime, then they have to use the rule of law, rather than the rule of force to deal with that situation. so i think there are human rights violations committed in the sinai, and this has to stop.
6:11 am
>> well, staying with event in egypt, al jazeera demands the immediate release of the three journalists who have been behind bars in that country for 306 days. peter greste, mohamed fadel fahmy and baher mohamed have been falsely accused of helping the outlawed muslim brotherhood, something that both they and al jazeera reject utterly coming up on the newshour. yemen getting ready to form a new cabinet as houthi rebels make gains in part of the country. the latest from sanaa. >> we are in london to ask whether boxing has the appeal of its heyday. a rumble in the jungle. 40 years ago. ricky kurdish -- iraqi kurdish peshawar forces are poised to enter the syrian town of kobane. they are still on the turkey side, ready, they say, to take
6:12 am
on fighters from i.s.i.l. that's the islamic state in islamic state of iraq and levant. you see them reaching this area on thursday, not just fighters, but weaponry. it was understood they'd try to enter the syrian side. we go to urfa. >> the ricky peshawar, as many as 150, with heavy weapons, are either at or close to the syrian border, the turkey syrian border preparing their entry into kobane. no indication when they may go in, but a suggestion that it would be dusk or evening, so they have the protection of the cover of the darkness. an indication or suggestion that they may go in from the west. that 3km from the town under the kurdish fighters.
6:13 am
there would be protection that way. syrian kurds need the heavier weapons that the kurds will bring. the heavy weapons more than the man power, but that will be self-contained. the peshawar controlling their own forces and controlling their own weaponry, of course working in liaison with the syrian kurds already there. >> as the iraqi peshawar forces there get ready to take on i.s.i.l. tent cities full of the kurdish refugees have arisen. thousands sought refuge outside of ebill. -- erbil. it's from there that charles stratford reports. >> reporter: this man plays with his daughter outside their tent. the family of five, syrian
6:14 am
kurds. the village right-hand the turkish-syrian border. they reached the camp a few days ago. scribing some of the things he saw for the rest of his lives. i saw four dead people with their throats slit, some of the dead had their faces blown off. >> the town of kobane are seeing some of the fighting with forces loyal to islamic state of iraq and levant or i.s.i.l., and the syrian kurdish fighters within weeks. coalition air strikes and failed to push i.s.i.l. out. when they took over, the fighters were disguised. >> when they attack the village,
6:15 am
they were wearing kurdish forces. >> reporter: the family that came here said they felt guilty. they don't frust the kurdish government to look after their needs. turkey called for an independent state in the south-east of the country. despite the fact ta i.s.i.l. forces are close to here. will they be happy to be in the kurdish region. >> it's only tents here. this is 1,000 times better than turkey. this is our land. not just our regionme, the areaf kurds. >> reporter: more than 5,000 came to this camp. the front line is 5km in that direction. there are concerns about security, and how people will survive in the winter. some buildings are being
6:16 am
constructed. children play among the half-bit shells. more than 14,000 people live in the camp, and that continues to grow. many of the people were moved from another camp when the risk of i.s.i.l. attacks got too great. behind the ridge is the front line. i.s.i.l. forces attacked kurdish peshawar here all the time. despite the danger and the winter months, this family will remain, until they are forced to move on again to tunisia, and the opposition secular party, nidda tounis claimed victory. winning 85 of 200 seats, not enough to win a majority, but will form a coalition party. we go there. your initial reaction when you found out that tyne us had won
6:17 am
and ennahada was out. >> we expected nidda tounis to do well in the elections. there was a lot of propaganda against ennahda. so they were expected to do good results. to win - not everyone expected. we see that nidda as well didn't do that bad. ennahda came second, there was 15 seats difference between ex nnahda and the nidda government. we have good checks in the parliament, and i think this is quite positive for the democracy in this country. >> very positive in the eyes of many, considering tunisia, what was known as the arab spring, in your country. as a blogger, it appears so far
6:18 am
at least that she's been able to administer on this platform. >> when i looked to lead the county, in tunisia they did well. it's been peaceful over the past three years. there were problems, but it was transitional. [ inaudible ] constituents of nidda tounis. it's been peaceful, and i think this can foretell the future, that the transition and that tunisia is on the right path to democracy. >> those of us on the outside looking at what it happening in your country, what changes can
6:19 am
we expect to see once the new government is formed and doesn't involve ennahda. >> i didn't hear the question. >> i just wonder the changes with a new government. changes in the next government. >> how difference is tunis going to be? >> tunisia, yes. no major changes on the economic level. i think nidda tune ace, as liberal as others, perhaps a little less. it's a liberal party. it will depend who will be the coalition members. because nina tunize is obliged to go into the coalition and and to appoint the next government. it depends if they make alliances with more leftist groups and a more liberal right wing groups.
6:20 am
until now, on the economic level, there would be no great change. perhaps the big difference between another led government in 2012/"13, and the nidda tounis led government. security can be a problem in terms of democracy, because sometimes it takes over a lot of prerogatives of dem okay rahsize and freedoms. that's why we have good checks and balances, in that records we have government threatening on security, and an opposition and the civil society arguing for freedoms. so same thing on the freedoms level will be on the same situation as in 2000, as before. >> we thank you. we have to leave it there.
6:21 am
another country that has seen political upheaval, turmoil, since the arab spring, we understand the political parties are due to sign a deal to form a new cabinet. it will be made up entire of tech no accurate officials. the u.n. special envoy met yemeni officials before making the announcement. shi'a rebels have taken over a town in the central province in idlib. let's go to javier solana. with the houthis fighting, taking territory, will the technocrat government do anything to stabilize yemen. >> that certainly was the question for everyone in the
6:22 am
country. i think there are a lot of critics, because the government is not formed because of the announcement on wednesday that they'll form a technocrat government to overcome political differences. the government is weak and divided. we have military forces showing no appetite of confronting the houthis, and other - seven other provinces in the country. i'm not sure that the government will have the ability to stop. however, if the political parties will join forces and form that government with their influence in different parts of the society and government institutions, they may be able to stop the advance of the houthis, and try and bring stability to yemen. one point is that this crisis has one clear winner, and it's the houthis, and i think the
6:23 am
political landscape of yemen changed once and for all. >> last time i spoke to you, we talked about the fact that there was conversations rooming further south, and members of al qaeda in the area. are we seeing a stand off between the two heavy weight groups? >> absolutely. you mentioned two provinces. that has a strategic location. the houthis wanted to control a tribal leader. they defeated him now. nest what we are seeing, according to reports, is that houthi fighters are gather force to move to another town. that town was overtaken by al qaeda forces. the houthis are trying to
6:24 am
portray the revolution. so they are - the fighting continued until i think it escalates. we'll bring you back to when they were talking on the town, and they managed to force out al qaeda. al qaeda - they are trying to regain the areas they lost to the houthis. >> thank you for the analysis on the situation in yemen. >> in sri lanka, the search for survivors is continuing after a mudslide buried dozens of people. the disaster management center says the hopes of finding anyone alive is fading. only five people have been confirmed to survive. it happened to the east of colombo on wednesday.
6:25 am
they sent us this in strl sri lanka. -- central sri lanka rescue operations were halted due to bad weather and darkness. 500 million of personnel throughout the area, where the landslide occurred, the disaster management center, and the major general in charge. recovery operation told us that most of the troops would be looking for survivors, searching for survivors, even though it's an increasingly remote prospect of finding anyone alive under a huge wall of mud and soil. >> behind me to the top of the mountains is where the rain came away from the mount in side with the is -- mountain side with the soil flipping and covering the houses. in the rear behind me, survivors
6:26 am
of one of the houses at the back have essentially heard what they think is the sound of someone in their home. they have alerted the military personal. lots of them are making their way to see if there is anyone that did survive. what you see is the earth essentially saturated after days and days of heavily rain, slipping down 2-3km and engulfing 70 to 80 houzs, which were the homes of plantation workers, working the factories in this region. >> in the context of all of that, let's go to that part of the world. >> sri lanka is an incredibly wet place, and more rain has been seen. if we look at the hat site, we can see the clouds. it has not stopped yet.
6:27 am
in the last 24 hours we saw 121mm of rain there, just in one of the cities there in sri lanka. that's a lot of wet weather. it's in context, a quarter of the amount of rain that you expect in the entire month. it's a lot of wet weather, it's falling on ground that is saturated. this means that we are liable to see more in the way of floods and more landslides in the next few days, because this system will stay with us, and we'll see heavy downpours over the next few days. towards the north-west - we'll run the satellite and we'll see a massive blob of cloud. what you notice if you watch this satellite, it's a big system, and shrank. that's because the conditions here aren't particularly favourable in order for the cyclone to stay intense. the winds high up in the
6:28 am
atmosphere are strong. it's disrupting things and drawing in the dry air across this region. as it works slowly towards the north-east, it is gradually weakening, and shrinking in size. currently the sustained winds at 90 k/hr, windows are higher than that, around 120, but it's only moving very slowly, around 9km per hour. it's gradually tracking to the north-east, the way clearly the upper winds are blowing. you can see the cloud blown ahead of it. it's working towards the coastline, the border with pakistan and india. across this region, we'll see a lot of heavy down pours on friday and saturday. but because it looks like it's been disrupted, things could be worse. we are going to see rain, a bit of flooding. but it could be a lot worse thank you very much indeed. we'll bring you some news just
6:29 am
reaching us. bok eena fasa, a north-western country, a fighter in the maghreb, across north africa. in that country there has been unrest involving the president. now, cappayore came to a coup. he wants to extend the presidential office by another three terms, it's limited. he wants to extend that. a lot of people are unhappy. we heard protesters have not only taken state television off the air, but they have broken into the parliamentary building there in the capital, the capital, the burkina faso, and this is ahead of a vote that is due to take place in parliament in the next few hours, on
6:30 am
weather president cam payory can vote to keep himself in office. important, but not least because this is a country that united states views as an alley in the fight against al-qaeda are we do to a neighbourhood ripped apart from sectarian fighting and we are in a neighbourhood where mikkel angelo's ceiling is put under the spotlight and sport - the breaking of a 29-year drought. jo will be hear to tell you that.
6:31 am
6:32 am
good to have you with us. these are the global headlines - sweden officially recognises the state of palestine, and hailed by palestinian president mahmoud abbas. it makes sweden the first country to do this as an e.u. member. israel beefed up security at the holy site, after the shooting of a right-wing rabbi. he was promoting a jewish campaign to allow prayers at the compound. kurdish peshawar fighters gathered near turkey's border with syria, getting ready to stake on the islamic state of iraq and levant in the besieged
6:33 am
town of kobane more on the tension between israel and the palestinians. wednesday there will be an emergency meeting to build more illegal homes in occupied east jerusalem. israel warned about its plans, but no official resolution was adopted by the council. our diplomatic editor james bays reports. >> reporter: after the announcement of more than 1,000 illegal homes, the palestinians requested this urgent meeting. the palestinian ambassador described how the israelis could be creating a new crisis point. >> as long they continue not to line, peace will not move forward and the country will face explosive situations such as we faced today in east
6:34 am
jerusalem. >> there was widespread condemnation, including harsh language from the u.s. representative. >> the united states is concerned by the developments, urging all parties to restrain from provocative actions. settlement activity will further escalate attentions at a time that is tense nu. we heard from the new age settlement, describing it as provocative action. how do you respond. >> i respond clearly. screz is the capital of the jewish people. and building houses units in jerusalem for children, the places of jewish neighbourhoods, is something that we will
6:35 am
continue to do, because jerusalem is the eternal capital of the jewish people. it is not illegal, and it is important for us to remember that jerusalem - and i repeat that again - is not a settlement. >> reporter: the palestinian ambassador told me that he's pressing ahead to try to get a new security council resolution setting an end date for november 2016. there'll be some support, but it's unlikely that the u.s., which has a veto in the security council would back such a move israeli drink maker soda stream decided to relocate the occupied west bank factory. rights activists started a campaign to boycott the product. the companies received a $20 million grant from the government to remove production, and it will be produced in the
6:36 am
south of the country. >> reporter: more on the fight against i.s.i.l. the u.s. government is targetting an organization that helps them sell a million barrels of petrol. 50,000 barrels of oil every day are smuggled out through syria, iraq and turkey. >> if you think about the traction change someone is taking the oil out of ground, selling it to someone, selling it somewhere, and someone is purchasing that oil to find it or resell it on, who has some legitimate business, who was a bank accounts, whose trucks may be insuredful businesses licensed - someone who has a footprint in the formal economy. those are people who we can influence through the use of our sanctions, tools, and through
6:37 am
our diplomacy with the countries that are involved here. we are talking about the fight against i.s.i.l. the other front, iraq, and its capital - we hear about suicide attacks in baghdad, and parts of that city are safe, there are districts like karrada, that we see here on the bend in the river where violence is increasing. imran khan went down to one of the deadliest parts of the iraqi capital. >> reporter: in one of the dangerous cities in the world, this is one of the worst neighbourhoods hit by the violence. karrada is a mixture of sunni and shia, hit by 24 car bombs in the last six months, 370 died, 1500 injured. on sunday a car bomb detonated
6:38 am
outside the hotel in this affluent middle class area. the clean-up will take months. across the neighbourhood people are angry that the government is not doing more to protect the area. this person was here when a bomb trucks. >> i was helping three nef use at the store. there was a huge ex-blokes draw -- explosion hung me back. i saw my nephews in pools of blood. >> reporter: beyond those memories, he's furious that the government is powerless to protect the area. >> despite the security, karrada is a ruined neighbourhood. he used to be the beating heart of the city. look at it. it's dying. the government can't seem to do anything. iraqi security forces are trying. they are issuing warnings when
6:39 am
very an intelligence on potential bomb threats. still the violence goes on. locals development an early warning system. if they see a week they do this (blow whistle), and they keep doing it until security arrives to check out the threat. despite that measure, the violence and fear comes with it. after a decade of american occupation, sectarian strikes, and the threat from i.s.i.l. the the street and city as a whole find a way to go on the biggest names to be arrested in the corruption investigation is due in court. francis go granados was a leader in a popular party, and the former mayor. tim friend reports. >> it looks like a sleepy
6:40 am
nondescript town, a short tried south of madrid. until you notice the tv crews. suddenly they were at the center of a nation-wide scandal. it's because of granados, arrested. one of 59 people detained in a corruption investigation. he ruled as mayor for the 72,000 residents. according to a high court judge, during that time he was allegedly putting more than $2 million into a secret swiss bank account. money paid by builders to win contracts. according to prosecutors. >> i've been aware of the corruption since i was a child. everyone has been scandalized. we have been living with this for 12 years. >> the citizens are furious with their leaders.
6:41 am
the public suffered austerity, some politicians were amassing illegal fortunes. >> public services have been cut here. these people are cueing for financial help. >> they should not only go to prison, they is should give back the money they stole. >> we see from the connections that there is a big focus on corruption. the focus is on the court, where the accused started to appear. police have a huge amount of evidence to sift through. it will be a long process, and the spanish people are losing faith in the political class. >> we have jo with some baseball. the world series decider, in fact. we'll take a look at 40 years after the rumble in the jungle. look at it through the eyes of
6:42 am
the journalist who covered the fight on the night.
6:43 am

6:45 am
says it has been a process of negotiation with chief. a sign of names to a certain street. they tell you that no, baste on the historic background. a name is not an easy thing. notwithstanding they will be able to come to a consensus, naming more than 4,000 in the space, names. >> the protest is about more than putting up fines and numbering buildings. having a proper street naming address systems can have a name. one non-governmental organization has done research on economic benefits. >> the authority nose who lives where. importantly, they identified
6:46 am
enhanced collection. it's where we are arguing in this way. we expect that it never increased by 50%. >> some signs are in place, but the majority is yet to go up. in the rest of the country progress is mixed. finding a way around should get easier. it's been so long since we did a programme together i interview joanna, with the world sport. >> thank you very much. we'll start with m.l.b. and sports fans in san francisco celebrates after the giant defeated the royals. it's the third time they have won in five years. the score was so close, kansas city fans are devastated. >> reporter: going in game 7 of the world series tied at three gamesa piece.

6:48 am
>> bon ghana adds another image. >> strike three. edging the giants closer to glory. then in the ninth a royals foul flyball gave san francisco what they had been looking for, a third world series win in five years. >> a world series win for the san francisco giants. 3-2 the final score with pitchen booung arna awarded most gradual player. >> it's definitely emotional. it's been an unbelievable year for us. we faced a lot of adversity. there's a lot of guys that couldn't deserve it more than i do. i'm thankful for them and it's
6:49 am
an honour to be a part of the team, organization. >> the san francisco fans celebrated on the streets it was heart break for kansas city, who thought this game would be the one to end their m.l.b. post-season misery it's been 40 years since boxing heavy waits mohammed ali and george foreman fight in the fight of the century. the rumble in the jungle in democratic republic of congo, was paid for by then president mab auto. >> the fight that stands out in my mind are all the ali fights was the rumble in the judge. i covered eight olympic games and covered boxing all over the world. that is the stand out occasion for me. it was bizarre. for one thing, the fight was
6:50 am
going to start at 4 o'clock in the morning in central africa. unheard of. the whole thing of being in africa, a french-speaking country. a dictatorship with a dirant. a fight putting ziad on the map. and ali trying to win back the title against george foreman. and the majority of opinion was that poor old ali was going to end up in hospital, and you should never be in the ring for someone as powerful and young as george foreman. >> with this fight i wrestled with alligators, handcuffed lightening and put jungle in gaol. you know ombad, i murdered a rock, i injured a stone and hospitalized a brick. i'm so bad i make medicine sick, i'm so fast, man, i can run through a hurricane and not get
6:51 am
wet. when george foreman meets me i can drown his debts. i can drown a drink of water and drink green tea, wait until you see mohammed ali. >> and the stadium singing ali bumyarne. which translate to "alley, kill him", probably 50,000, the fight starting at four in the morning, to accommodate television. and then the fight itself. it was not a great fight, but ali adopted the tactics. nobody had - could peble have foreseen. it introduced a phrase for the tacks ticks. the rope-a-dope. going up to this powerful 6 foot four. pounding on him for round after
6:52 am
round. the strategy was, to elect foreman punch himself out until he was so exhausted. that is what happened in the eighth round. history was made. ali came back the title, at 32 years of aim, by knocking out foreman in the eighth round. >> most of those boxing professionally weren't born when the rumble in the jungle took place. the legendary fight taking place. >> the day of the fight i'm planning to review the round. if i knew how long it would take the referee how long it would take. >> when they were kings. there was a time 40 years ago it felt as if effi wait boxers had to rule the world. one in particular who was to reclaim his rumble in the jungle. when ali and foreman clashed, it
6:53 am
captured the imagination from lou louisville to london. >> i was sitting here with the family. i didn't watch much. >> but this one, rumble in the jungle. >> yes, everyone watched it. >> boxing has taken a beating. the fact that boxing has been diluted, sports are fighting their way up to. such is u.s. seals, mixed marshall arts. millions will be engrossed but now it's a sport staying on their feet. >> boxing will be bigger. u.s.c. is big. people like watching it. boxing has something special. >> you would thing i was not
6:54 am
around at the time i may not know about ali. but thanks to youtube, if you ask any public about boxing they'd mention alley. "when we were kings" say it is knowledgeable. ali and rumble in the jungle is used as inspiration. on to tennis, roger federer kept up his hopes of finishing the season as the world number one. he was made to work hard to reach the third round of the paris masters. he is 580 points behind novak djokovic. he defeated a frenchman in a 3-set match, winning 7-6, 6-7, 6-4. roger federer is looking for a hat-trick of titles, and shanghai took the competition in the last two tournaments. that is all the sport for now.
6:55 am
