>> announcer: this is al jazeera. from al jazeera is headquarters in doha, this is the newshour. in the next 60 minutes. kurdish forces strike i.s.i.l. targets inside kobane. a bigger strategy on how to defeat them is in the works. a deal is signed in yemen to form a unity government - amidst a backdrop of more fighting out with the old, in with the new in burkina faso. there's dissatisfaction and

calls for more protests but we are to blame for climate change. but we hold the key to fixing it. the findings of a landmark report into our ever changing world. we begin with the battle against fighters against the islamic state of iraq and levant or i.s.i.l. the peshawar join the fighters in kobane. they have been sent to help syrian kurds stopped armed group. and in northern iraq, a town told by kurds - i.s.i.l. is making attacks to try to win it

back. we'll have reports in a moment. first, the battle for kobane, and al jazeera's jamal joins us from the turkish-syrian border. jamal, you have seen the fighting from where you are. what have you witnessed? yes, kobane is a couple of kilometres behind us. we have seen two large air strikes, huge sounds and explosions targetting kobane. and smoke is rising because of that. proceeding that there was a rally of eight mortar shells fired by the peshawar in the western side of the up to ,

targetting the eastern parts here. this is the second time or instance that we have seen of them engaging in this battle. the first was last fight. this morning, prior to that as well. we are not sure if it's coordinated with the air strikes. the mortar fires took place a few minutes before the air strikes, or whether it was a coincidence, there has been a lot of activity in terms of pounding i.s.i.l., the eastern parts of the town. as the battle continues, is there a clearer strategy between the iraqi peshawar, and the kurds and their cooperation over the battle. there appears to be a lot of work put in to that. the leaders of both those

military contingents in kobane are meeting in a joint command center. we understand from our colleague inside the town, has been telling us that they have been meeting for hours to come up with a plan to make use of all the different resources they have. it's important to note whilst there was a lot of hype put on the entrance of the iraqi kurdish peshawar forces. behind that, they don't reach $200. the equipment, we see how much more they can add to the air strikes taking place. despite this. what we understand is that the deals struck between them is that the syrian kurdish fighters will be at the forefront. they'll man the front line and have back up and strategic

support by the iraqi kurdish peshawar forces. how this will play out in the next couple of days is important. kobane is a small town, and it is surprising to many that it has taken weeks to fall. according to all the information, almost all civilians have left. >> thank you jamal, updating us on the situation in the battle for kobane. at the turkish-syrian border. >> and to iraq and the battle against i.s.i.l. peshawar forces are fighting for control of rabia on the syrian border. we have this report. [ explosion ] >> reporter: peshawar soldiers fire at fighters with the islamic state of iraq and levant or i.s.i.l. in northern iraq. they are defending rabia, the

border is a kilometre away. the peshawar took control from i.s.i.l. last month. the fighting is intense. defending the position is vital for kurdish forces. >> translation: rabia is strategically important because it's the main route for i.s.i.l., between syria and i.s.i.l. >> reporter: the peshawar dug in, building high mud banks, saying i.s.i.l. forces usually attack at night. many peshawar were killed in the battle for rabia. 70,000 lived here. they fled when the fighting started. peshawar military vehicles are parked among the homes. the general tells me the i.s.i.l. forces are a kill some tor in that direction. the pesh -- kilometre in that direction. the peshawar retook the town. i.s.i.l. is changing its strategy. i.s.i.l. used trucks laden with

explosives to ram checkpoints like this. peshawar here say na i.s.i.l. send groups of fighters on foot that try to infiltrate the camp at night. >> translation: they have tried to come in on foot. the day we retook zuma, they repelled. they came here. we repelled them. >> reporter: the question and whether the peshawar can hold the position in the coming winter months, when cloud cover will make air strikes difficult. >> translation: the air strikes are important for us. the second thing is antitank weapon systems and night vision capability. we need engineers for clearing improvised explosive devices. >> destroyed villages dot the road. they could never have taken the

town without the coalition weapons. as winter draws, so the change too defend towns like this across northern iraq meanwhile inside syria, moderate rebels faced a setback. the al nusra front have seized a town and villages after the withdrawal of a modern group. this is a blow to the coalition training a moderate force. these pictures are from idlib, and people there are protesting the ongoing violence, caused by battles between rebel factions and forces loyal to the bashar al-assad government. civilians are paying a higher price of gunman attacks in the battle. the syrian observatory for human rights said the military stepped

up barrel bombing. dropping more than 400 in less than two weeks. the bombs are packed with explosives and metal. >> two women. 20 soldiers have been killed in fighting with al qaeda, three other were kidnapped after nighting in a village. we follow the story from sanaa. what can you sell us omar al saleh, about the fighting between yemen security forces and al qaeda fighters in hudh hudhud -- in al-hued adead. >> we under the forces attacked. they killed 20 yemeni soldiers, and seized a number of vehicles and burnt a few of them and retreated to the mountains.

there are fears that this is a typical al qaeda strategy. there are fears that the fighters could launch new attacks on a number of positions within the hudaydah province. >> a political deal has been made between the houthi rebels, opposition parties. will we see the houthis withdraw from sanaa? >> let me tell you that the very latest - i spoke with a leading member of the houthis. first, i asked them whether the president and the prime minister designate has the right to form or put candidates on their own. they'll have to consult with them. the houthis will have to honour a decision. they will stop it.

they blamed other blocs that they could hinder the process, the process of forming the government. they do not wish to recognise the new reality. that's the rising houthi power. in answer to the question, i ask that leading figure, he said "look, our presence in the capital is related to maintaining security." the government this week, the yemeni security forces are week, and fighters are maintaining security in the capital. if or when the government forces are able to maintain the security, we can withdraw our forces. it's not clear cut. he hinted that the possibility to boost the yemeni security forces, within the security forces. i think the houthis are the rising power, and will not leave soon. >> certainly a very interesting turn of events for the houthis there.

thank you omar al saleh. speaking to us from the yemeni capital sanaa protesters are back on the streets of burkina faso's capital, against the army's seizure of power after the president resigned, fleeing to the ivory coast. the united states and african union rejected the takeover >> reporter: burkina faso's president of 27 years is in neighbouring ivory coast with his family. his brother's home has become public property. uninvited prisoners take and sell whatever its ofville u they -- of value they can. with blaise compaore out of the seed the military stepped in, naming isaac zida head of state. >> translation: starting today i resumed the responsibilities. i call on friends of burkina faso to support our people in

this time. >> reporter: people power forced blaise compaore out when he tried to extend his rule. and those behind the protest relevant the army's takeover >> translation: the political opportunity in civil society insist that the victory of the uprising belongs to the people, and the transitional government falls to them, and should under no circumstances be confiscated by the military. fearful that the country could face a coup, the opposition is calling on supporters to continue testing. they want the authorities to be in charge. the head of the parliament should take office if the president resigns and hold elections within 90 days. >> the rapidity of transition, the way everything will be set up to make peble and organise the elections will be extremely difficult. if it lasts too long, it could be, indeed, a danger. >> a danger the african union is

key to avoid. it called on the military to transfer power to the people. what happens next will determine burkina faso's political future plenty more to come on the al jazeera news our. including a vote in eastern ukraine, will it give the pro-russian separatists the separation they want. also... >> we are standing on the shoulders of giants. yesterday we fell short richard branson says the sun has not set on his state's dreams, despite the deadly crash of a virgin galactic rocket the asian champion's league final - the full story - tempers flare. the full story with jo

in bangladesh, the jamaat-e-islami party is calling for a 24 hour country wide strike after a second senior party member was sentenced to death. mir quasem ali has been found guilty of 10 charges, including the torture of fighters during the liberation war with pakistan. ali is a senior member of the party. the leader was given a death sentence for similar crimes. we have more from dhaka. >> reporter: one of the senior jamaat-e-islami leaders sentenced to death by the bangladesh war crime tribunal. he was accused of forming a palay military unit that -- paramilitary unit that collaborated in the war of independence with pakistan. all were convicted and accused of war crimes during the 1971

war. mir quasem ali is one of the chief financiers of jamaat-e-islami. he owns several businesses and was director of a paper and tv station. it's a blow to jamaat-e-islami as a party. thousands of people wanted justice over four decades, and feel like justice has been done. family members and ex freedom fighters were there. they were jubilant about this verdict. but we have to see how the sentences were carried out down the road. the government doesn't steam to be in a hurry. they don't want political unrest, they don't have much political mileage to gape. jamaat-e-islami is -- mileage to gain. jamaat-e-islami is marginalized. the election commission cancelled their submission. most leaders are behind.

they have to say how they progress as a political opposition party down the road. >> voting is underway in eastern ukraine where pro-russian separatists are holding an election denounced by the west. the current self-proclaimed prime minister of donetsk is expected to win the vote in this region. the election is designed to bring legitimacy to the makeshift regime, controlling the self-declared republics. people are voting for two new parliament and presidents. it's certain to confirm the elected chiefs in their post. 3 million ballots have been printed for the polls, which will only be recognised by russia, no election monitors have been invited to the polling stations. we'll bring in hoda ab

dell-hamid. bring us up to state on the turn out. is there much enthusiasm for the vote? >> certainly today is the day where we see more people on the streets than we have seen over the last week since we have have been here. there's a large turn out. itself inside. the whether is cold. the cue could last an hour or two, and we have seen the same thing in the regional capital. that's the image, separatist leaders were banking on. >> with a large turn out, the world will under that they do have popular support. it has to be said that an estimated half of the population has left since the conflict started. we are told that some could cast a ballot online and others in

the refugee camps in russia. certainly there is a larger amount who are not voting on this day. >> all right, hoda, does this election legitimize the rebel chiefs into becoming political leaders. >> that is what they are hoping for. this morning the front-runner, and the self-proclaimed prime minister was one of the very first people to cast a ballot, and he was dressed in civilian, not the usual clean military fatigue, and that was to show that this was a day of the people. the fighters that usually are on the front stage in this region - well, today they have taken a backstage. he did, however, recognise that legitimacy was a long way ahead, and there was not a problem of international recognition, and

we learnt from the west that the vote will be regards as illegitimate. it is in tune with the minsk agreement, and they have the backing of moscow earlier in the week. the foreign minister clearly said that he would recognise - moscow would recognise the vote, even though he stopped short of saying whether they'd recognise donetsk and luhansk independent states once the vote is over. >> hurricane odile -- hoda, thank you for that update from makiivka a city another donetsk there has been conclusive evidence that humans have altered earth's climate. the new report is touted as a comprehensive assessment of climate change undertaken. these are live pictures coming out of a meeting taking place in

copenhagen. let's look at what the report says. in it scientists say they are more certain than ever that greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants are the dominant cause of global warning. the intergovernmental panel on climate change says reducing the greenhouse gas emissions is the key to limiting risks of climate change. although the impact has been felt on all continents, the least-developed countries are especially affected. >> for more, we joined by steiner who is the executive director of the programme. he joins us via skype from nairobi. >> it shows conclusively, scientific evidence that human activities changes climate.

what is different this time around? >> in many release, we have more evidence. the i.c.c., the climate system - we have a great deal more evidence presented by the united nations. our atmosphere notions are falling. sea levels are rising. greenhouse gas in the atmosphere are reaching levels. the i.d. cc confirms the latest research pointing to the fact that the concentrations in the atmosphere are higher than any time in the last 500 years. leading to the conclusions and the perspectives that it is offering to policy makers. >> let's talk about the policies. the report says the way to limit global warming requires substantial emissions, reductions over the next few

decades, near zero emissions of co2. is that possible given the industries in place? >> well, if you go on with the business as usual scenario, we would not be able to meet the targets. everything the i b.c. is telling us, the government put in place clean energy policies, more efficient transport systems. all these are, in a sense, increasing in practice. that's what the i.c.c. confirms, and it is feasible to move towards the low carbon economy. it grows every year we do not act. and if we find out there's a decade left. it will be extraordinarily expensive and disrupted just in preparing for this report. i read that there was a standoff between countries focused on cutting emissions and those whose priorities were developing

economies. how much compromises is made in issuing the report. >> the scientists are confident they've been able to put together the science. there's little debate over anything taken away. perfect knowledge is not the privilege of our generation, and perhaps never has been before the act. what the i.c.c. is saying, and governments confirmed it in new york and over 100 head is state is a call for greater action. and it is something that assist agreeing the obvious, not only and countries, but the opportunity of developing nations. we understatement the amount of renewable energy, low carbon technology deployed today. last year alone, half the world's investment where they were indeed happening in the global south. these are examples that will give governments greater confidence. >> thank you for giving us your

insight. executive director of the united nations environment programme. >> thank you now, many of the country's most affected by climate change are small island nations in the asia pacific, and with scientists warning that climate change will make the natural disaster worse, samoa is preparing for the worst. >> two years ago, a cyclone brought trees smashing down on some of lefter dean's bee hives. rain pummelled others. many plants were destroyed and the bees that survived the storm had problems. >> everybody lost out, the vegetable farmers and fruit farmers, they had no cash at all, nothing. >> natural disasters can haven't expected consequences, so

anticipating them makes sense. dean is keeping his new hives away from industries, and the roof should protect them from heavy rain. elsewhere in somalia, after a tsunami killed 33 people, survivors moved up the hill in case it happens again. trees are planted along shore lines to protect ocean surges, crops under plastic and forest replanted to act as a barrier to flash floods. communities need to be involved in that, a scale model is built to explain what is done and why. >> it has to be done for the individuals, climate change needs to be addressed, it is happening. this project is a good example how to address it. >> the gradual effect of global warming means habits need to change. in somalia, they are experimenting to see which crops

fare best in the warm conditions. physical barriers are examples of thinking ahead. this was dined to stop a sea causing havoc. a push by the united nations is to get insurance into some of the world's poorest places. the world's natural disasters caused $200 billion in damage. most losses were insured. 70% of the world had no insurance. the insurance penetration is 0.3%. i don't need to say how important it is to have insurance. >> climate change is making natural disasters more frequent and severe. it pays to be prepared. over in brazil, they are experiencing their worst jout in

decades. richard is keeping an eye on that. is it linked to climate change? >> i don't know. that's the honest answer, i don't know. >> that is honest. >> i'm demrib and -- glib and dismissive. it takes a lot of research to find if an event is linked to climate change. many droughts are lynned. the california drought, and there are doubt whether that is linked to climate change. seer are shots of pro -- here are shots of protesters dism sao paulo -- protesters in sao paulo. people have short memories. allot of it is -- a lot of it is to do with the demands. they'll have to wait for the rains getting through to november. the later part of november, january and february, when the summer storms develop. what we have at the moment is

heavy rain affecting parts of argentina. here we have seen heavy rain over the last 24 hours. so we are expecting rain to be developing across parts of argentina into paraguay and south-eastern parts of brazil. here we are likely to see the rain continuing. it will not move towards the north. across the region we'll see drier weather across eastern parts. there is the rainfall. and there is the forecast. heavy rain across much of the region, these are the parts looking dry. >> thank you. still ahead on the al jazeera newshour. devastating deforestation in argentina. trees are torn down to clear the way for agriculture. a native community is pushed to the edge of society. a report from the neighbourhood in mexico, living in the shadow of a cartel killing. and could leaders bayern

deep dortmund at bay? jo here with sport.

welcome back. you are watching the al jazeera newshour. a reminder of the top story. for the first time the peshawar joined the fight against i.s.i.l. in kobane. they hit i.s.i.l. in the east. they discussed a wider operation on how to drive i.s.i.l. out of

the town completely 20 yemeni soldiers killed fighting al qaeda. during the violence in the city. this follows an agreement on the creation of a new government burkina faso has an interim leader in stalled by the ministry. protesters are back on the streets against the army takeover. >> billionaire richard branson says his plans for space tourism will continue despite the crash of a rocket. one pilot is dead and another badly injured after a section exploded. >> reporter: strewns across the moj desert the remains of a dream.

careful to strike the right tone, the man behind the plan, richard branson, says friday's tragedy was a set back, but so long as lessons can be heard, space travel should go ahead. >> pushing the bounds of space travel comes with risk. pushing the pounds, we stand on the shoulders of clients, we fell short yesterday. we'll assess the results of the crash and are determined to learn from this and move forward together. >> the spacecraft's last night was nine months ago. this promotional video by vact rock shows what was meant to happen. guided to around 50,000 feet by an aircraft, the passenger

shuttle engages and showers up. the only known difference during the flight was the use of a fuel. the cause of the crash is likely to impact when the passenger boards. >> it sets back the project until the investigation is carried ahead. it will not stop it. space tourism is a fantastic adventure in the next few years. we'll see normal citizens paying a little money, but going into space. >> our first virgin galactic astro mutes... >> a glossy advertising cap pains is helping to presell several hundreds seats at 250 each. the first flight was due to take off. refunds are being offered. but richard branson is convinced

that the sun doesn't quite set. >> dozens of press freedom and civil liberties groups is putting an end to the persecution of journalists. sunday is the first day to end impunity for crimes against journalists. 41 have been killed this year. it's a committee to protect journalists. 200 were forced into exile. syria is a general place for journalists. 10 journalists are known to have died. 10 journalist died covering the conflicts in iraq and ukraine. joining us now is a board member for the international press institu institute. thank you for making it into the show. we are seeing journalists used as bargaining chips as mentioned

in syria, and in the case of i.s.i.l., kidnapping those journalists. why is the game for journalists becoming dangerous. >> as the media is powerful in shaping public opinion, those not happy with the media out look want to take it out. the problem is that impunity holds governments accountable - no one is putting them to gaol or interrogating them or questioning them. unless we put a stop to this, not holding them for shows and the militia said accountable, hour lives will be in danger. >> there is talk about setting up an independent body to hold the elements accountable for their accesses. i'm assuming you would be

supportive it of. >> yes. >> who would run the body? >> it's a problem. there's a definition of who is a journalist. bloggers are journalist, facebook commentators. and then, i mean, why should journalists be protected and the rest of humankind nod be protected. there are legal problems, but the key is holding governments and non-start party arrangements accountable. in arab worlds we see al jazeera journalists in gaol on trumped up charges. no one is holding the government accountable. people are beaten up in the street. cameras broken. unless governments start questioning people, bring them to court, taking them to justice, and verdicts, heavy fines and imprisonments are holding the beam accountable.

this will continue. >> let me pick up on the point. the three al jazeera staff were serving their prison sentences in cairo, they are the public faces of the threats facing all journalists. on the other side, where do governments draw the line between protecting security and targetting journalists. >> egypt, like in other places, the run party coming in defending the area are either complicit or they are part of the problem. egypt or the number of gos are threatening to be closed down. there's a lot of problems with the journalist union because they are asked to show nationally against terrorism. anyone remotely connected or seeming to be connected to an islamic movement is considered oint nationalist --

anti-national lift so journalist don't want to touch. >> thank you board member for the international press institute and the head of the community media network in imam. daoud al jazeera demand the immediate release of its journalists in egypt who have been imprisoned for 309 days, peter greste, mohamed fadel fahmy and baher mohamed have been falsely convicted of helping muslim brotherhood, an outlawed terrorist group forces loyal to an elected government in libya recaptured part of benghazi from rival militias. the retaken areas include positions that the group had seized in july. more than 250 were killed in an offensive that began two weeks ago. army troops are backed by

loyalists of the khalifa haftar investigators in southern mexico are checking mass graves to see if they contain the graves of 43 missing university students. people that live near a site say that criminal gangs have been duxing bodies -- dumping bodies next to their neighbourhoods for years. >> this poor but peaceful neighbourhoods is where some massive graves were found. a warm afternoon, friends, family. inside the shacks, people are afraid. they tell stories of horror and fear. >> reporter: people around here keep to themselves. why risk crossing anyone? they know the price they could

pay. i asked a federal policeman on duty if he heard the same stories, that this ha been a place where cartels buried their victims. >> reporter: now, police will not let us go any further beyond this point, but some of the graves here outside iguala are 2km up to this road. locals tell us at any time of the day or night for years, they'd see cars go up the hill quite full, but when they came down, they were pretty much empty. >> this man lived here for nearly three decades, and sleeps on a dirt floor. he would rather be poor than join the gangs.

>> reporter: three of his nephews that have been missing for years, he writes poetry to deal with the pain of living amid so much deaths. his latest poems are in honour of 43 missing students. >> reporter: the students' fate is unknown. this man, living close to death

only can imagine the worse nigerian president made an appearance in algiers, visiting a memorial. algeria is celebrating 63 years of independence. he is still recovering from a stroke he suffered last year the african union is gearing up to send medical workers to ebola-stricken country. more than 50 weep are overgoing training. they are expected to be sent to guinea, liberia and sierra leone. they have 150 other workers throughout west africa. >> in nigeria the armed group boko haram says more than 200 schools converted to islam and are married. the leader of the group denied agreeing to a ceasefire. more from abuja.

>> reporter: the video breaking many hearts. it shows a chan purported to be the leader of boko haram, who says the girls kidnapped were converted to islam and married. >> translation: don't you know the 200 schoolgirls converted to islam and have memorized two chapters of the koran. >> reporter: he denies a negotiation. >> translation: what negotiation, it is a lie, a lie. we will not negotiate. what is our business for negotiation. >> reporter: last week the government announced it reached an agreement with the armed group. raising hopes that the kidnapped girls had returned. >> because of the previous arged that did not translate to the girls being released.

>> an official said they were hopeful that the dialogue initiated will lead to a breakthrough. >> boko haram resisted ceasefire. people are beginning to think it could be a failed attempt to end the violence that killed thousands and displaced hundreds of thousands. in the past week there has been many more breaches by the armed group and more territory taken by the fighters. with the new video released, all nigerians can do is wait. wait for a breakthrough or a victory by the government still to come on al jazeera. why the chelsea manager has it in for his team and the world's richest

horse race - who won the $5 million prize. >> it's a chilling and draconian sentence... it simply cannot stand. >> its disgraceful... the only crime they really committed is journalism... >> they are truth seekers... >> all they really wanna do is find out what's happening, so they can tell people... >> governments around the world all united to condemn this... >> as you can see, it's still a very much volatile

situation... >> the government is prepared to carry out mass array... >> if you want free press in the new democracy, let the journalists live. environmental groups have been protesting against deforestation in northern argentina, and they say the landowners are colluding with the federal government to manipulate the swar. -- the law. daniel schweimler reports. >> reporter: the damage on the ground is brutal. huge areas of forest ripped by chains dragged between two bulldozers. it is starker from the area,

100,000 forests ripped up to make way for bean, soya and sugar crops. with advanced technology and stronger resilient seeds, agriculture is moving into unproductive areas. salta is a new frontier, but the rate of deforestation is among the highest in latin america. this is monday, the thick forest that thrives over the dry, barren soil in the north of argentina. some of the trees can take hundreds of years to grow. it takes a day to destroy 120 hectares of forests to leave the land looking like this. greenpeace erected a blockade to stop fuel deliveries. the provincial government working with landowners is manipulating, sometimes flouting the law. >> translation: the forest is the same. they re-categorize it in the paperwork, saying there's no

indigenous people, or it's badly onserved and the province authorised the deforestation. >> it's a charge the government denied. >> the legal framework we have been given which will report allows us to make the changes. however, we are always ready to listen to objections by the environmental groups. >> salta wichi's indigenous community number a few thousands. making a living by hunting and gathering. doing odd jobs. it's whittled away. >> why don't they respect us. we need our space. >> this woman doesn't speak spanish but insisted talking to us in her native wichi, since she said through a translator that no one else was listening. there's fear in her heard, she said, for her children and

grandchildren. she doesn't know what they'll do. >> jo is here with the sport. >> thank you. western sydney wanderers are the first australian team to win the asian champion's league after holding el-hall ill to a goal's draw, winning 1-0 on aggregate after a victory in south australian. the australians spent most of the time defending as the saudi side pushed. andy kovich made a string of save to keep the 2-time champions drawless. tempers flared and a player spat at wanderers players and had to be restrained before a brawl broke out. the wanderers will be asia's representative at the f.i.f.a. club match next month. the wanderers had 14 fans in

saudi arabia because of visa restrictions. thousands turned out in the streets of sydney to watch the final on screens and celebrate the team's success. algerian club has been crowned stamps, beating a club from the democratic republic of congo on away goals following a 3-3 aggregate draw. it follows a second title, the first since 1998. it confirms a place in the f.i.f.a. world cup. >> they made us happy, like the national team. i hope they carry on with the performance, and i want them to face real madrid. >> the match was diff. i was expecting a lot of pressure. they played well and made us happy. they made the expectations of the people in al jazeera.

>> reporter: in germany, bayern did an amazing come back against dortmundful they were ahead. the hosts equalized through the second thanks to the dortmund stuff. a late spenty completed the 2-1 win. dortmund slipped into the relegation after a fifth straight loss. >> barcelona suffered a first home la liga defeat after being defeated 1-0. luis suarez made a debut. with lionel messi, and neymar, they couldn't get a goal. the loss drops them to third in the table. that loss helped "real money" move above barca.

it extended a freak to four straight. >> real were two ahead of barcelona. chelsea manager josie manslaughterino criticized fans for being two quite. the leaders had the first goal. a player was tripped. the belgium converted the penalty to give the side three points. >> i think the man responsible was in the same mood as the crowd. because everybody was sleeping. so probably he was also in

that - it took 20 minutes to understand that was that. i took 30 minutes to understand that the stadium was not empty. the stadium is full. >> german golfer moved up to fourth in the standings as the season winds its way to the season-ending tournament. it ended on sunday. the german missed the puck outright on the final hole. it sent the tournament to a 3-way play-off. it chipped in with the birdie. >> they failed to match the score, fishing the fourth victory. on to cricket. and the fastest ever 50 was hit in a test match as pakistan hit a huge lead. the half century was followed by

100. that pushed the home side to declare on 293 for three, in the second innings, leaving australia 293 for 6. australia's liuingy league team get the title hopes in tact. in rugby union, they cammered the united states 74-6 in front of a sell out crowd. they are an emerging nation, and are unlikely to be a decent match up. sony bill williams has been playing rugby lead. he helped the all blacks put on a show. williams with two of the 12 tries. another highlight was is

sweeping move in the second. >> nico rosberg could tighten the race for the formula 1, as he goes for pole. he edged team-mate and championship leader to the front of the bridge. hamilton leads kyla ross by 17 points with three races remaining defending champion novak djokovic facing millize after winning in the semifinals. he extends a lead over roger federer in the battle for the year-end number one spot. he races raonic in the final after he beat thomas berdych in the semis. >> played against him twice on clay, in different conditions. indoors now, hard court.

it's more suitable for his style of game, rather than clay. i have not dropped a set and feel comfortable about my game. it will be a good final. >> north america's richest horse race has been won. despite a breeders inquiry. there was bumping and barging at the start of the race, with bayern swerving out of the race. it hadn't had an effect on the result. it included pre-race favourite. and california chrome. a bob bassett-trained horse winning the $5 million purse by a note. that's all the sport for now. thank you very much. stay with us here on al jazeera. sammy is next with a full bulletin of news for you, that's right, at the top of the hour.
