government, their concern that perhaps colonel could maybe try and stall or hang onto power so people are waiting to see what he will to. is he going ostep down or will he face sanctions from the african union. >> the african union has given him two weeks to return control, is he likely to do that? >> he's under a lot of pressure. from the international community so he's under a lot of pressure and sanctions would really hurt this country. sanctions from the african union in particular and countries in the region. this is a very poor country, it relies heavily on its neighbors like ga nah an england nah and y coast. even political relations would be jeopardized. i don't think it would be good for the people as a whole. the average person on the street

is worried because everyone knows that these sanctions will affect the people on the ground, it won't affect the opposition leaders, it won't affect civil society groups, it will be the average person on the street so people are concerned. they don't want sanctions imposed but they also want a solution to this crisis. >> malcolm webb sent us this update from the former president's headquarters. >> life on the street, former president compaore's residence, all that's left on the floor is rubble and ash and remains of documents and equipment. now a military officer says that he's in control and that he'll oversee the transition back to civilian rule. but a lot of the people we've

spoken to here are skeptical. with the history of cowps coupsh the possibility of military rule. >> 21 people from afghanistan and syria have died after their boat capsized. another 16 are unaccounted for. bernard smith reports. >> it must have been a terrifying end of what was a long and perilous journey. packed onto this boat were 42 travelers and their smuggler. >> we went sailing at 8:30. even before we cast the net a warning, from another fishermen he saw body in the sea. it was impossible not to see them. there were dead bodies everywhere. they had life vests on. when we picked them up, they were stiff. it was clear they had not drown but had frozen to death. >> the boat put out a distress call at around dawn on monday.

it was just over five kilometers off the istanbul coast. it is not clear why the boat sank but it was packed with people and the sea was rough. so far this year an estimated 1200 migrants have died crossing the black sea or the mediterranean to europe. that's according to the international organization for migration. turkey is a common route for migration, trying to make it to the european union, it is difficult to survive if you are capsized into these ic icy wate. >> ship docked at the benghazi port, hit by rockets, this footage showing smoke rising in the vicinity of the port. at least four houthi rebels have been killed by tribes in

yemen, rada district a number of people were wounded in the attack. egypt continues its operation against armed groups in the sinai peninsula, jn egyptians are forced. natasha guinane has the report. >> sources say air raids destroyed stock piles of weapons, killed two fighters and injured three south of rafa. buffer zone near the border down in gaza has left hund homeless, activate says the deposit is

greste, mohamed fahmy and baher mohamed. al jazeera rejects the claims of crimes against them. wash for independence with pakistan in 1971, two other members have also been sentenced to death in recent days for similar crimes. now now from. >> i always say that if i can draw two breaths before i die with the first breath i will say a prayer to allah and second breath i would wish the death of the military.

>> that many of these collaborators have continued to live as free men is something that angers many. one of prime minister's war criminals to justice .1however, the war crimes trials have been largely overshadowed with controversy, with critics claiming the war has been politicized. >> last year activates took to thactivists took tothe streets. political violence that followed this year has been quietly no verdicts or no violence until now. some are concerned about the three verdicts that were announced over the past week. >> translator: only the supreme court is supposed to know when the verdicts will be announced and what they will be. but we saw in the past week that several journalists are coming out well ahead of time and

saying the verdicts will be announced on these days and they will be this and that. this raises questions. >> the government says such allegations are baseless. >> we have been trying, who have actually committed war crimes, who have been responsible for genocidal acts, rape, mass killing so to turn this extreme violation of human rights and genocide into a political case denice imagination. >> many bringing closure to a country that needs it. but with jamaad calling for a general strike, there is tension once again. libya's supreme court was looking into a 2012 judgment

that found health care workers, rights groups say the women didn't fully understand what they were signing. namibia's high court will now decide how much compensation the victims will proceed. receive. >> priti patel represents the groups forcibly sterilized. >> they found there were three hiv positive women subjected to forced sterilization. this is first time any court on the continent of africa found that, women were sterilized beyond their concept. this will affect women in other african countries saying basically the same that we're hiv positive and being sterilized without our consent.

in namibia, there are dozens of cases. there have been documented cases in south africa. there have been documented cased in kenya, that women are being sterilized without their consent. so this is by no means a localized problem. supreme court basically said these women need to be exend and they've sent the case back to the court to decide what they should get. what we think should happen now is the government of namibia needs to step up and start investigating all the other claims by liive-positive women who say they have -- hiv-positive women who say they have again sterilized, provide recourse to these women. the government actually needs to take active steps to make sure this practice has ended.

but also to address what's hamed to these women. >> breaking news coming to us from iraq. there have been several attacks in baghdad, apparently mortar shells andids and a parked car bomb has targeted, one mixed neighborhood north of baghdad. the death toll apparently so far is ten killed, 39 injured. so ten dead, 39 injured. this is attacks in two shia neighborhood and one mixed neighborhood. we'll get more on that as soon as we get it. still to come on al jazeera, we're told of why argentina has told a multinational to stop doing business. plus eyes in the sky, who controls them and where are they coming from?

marathon. >> it's gonna be close. >> several swing state elections are up for grabs. >> are you kidding me? >> don't miss filmmaker a.j. schnack's unprecedented... >> if i can drink this, i don't see why you should't be able to smoke that. >> behind the scenes look... >> are you gonna do this? >> at what it takes to win. >> it's certainly something that doesn't exist elsewhere in politics on television. >> midterms election day marathon. tomorrow, 1:00 eastern. only on al jazeera america.

>> hello again, welcome back to al jazeera. top stories. the african union has told the military leaders in burkina faso to hand the government back over to civilian leaders or face sanction he. on friday the president was forced to resign. a boat has capsized off the coast of turkey. at least 21 people have died most of them migrants from syria and afghanistan. the search continues for 16 people, still missing. a libyan naval vessel has been hit during heavy fighting

in benghazi. the ship was docked at the benghazi port, hit by a shell during heavy fighting. russia says rebel leaders in eastern ukraine have been given a mandate to negotiate with kiev. confirmed alex sacracenco as leader of the eastern ukraine republic. rory challenge are reports. >> comments made by the deputy foreign minister here, he says that the leaders of luhansk and donetsk now have a mandate with which they can negotiate with the authorities in kiev. so russia really sees the these elections as an act of

legitimatization. but it's quite a narrow one because it's only really moscow and these two break-away regions themselves that recognize these elections. the eu doesn't, the u.s. doesn't. and certainly the government in kiev doesn't. so really, they raise more questions than they answer. because what happens next? does this turn into a frozen conflict, the like of which we can see in transnnistria, increased military activity there and what happens to the minsk protocols? the eu says that these elections are a violation of those protocols and there is a suspicion in moscow there may be more sanctions on the way. >> it is the final day of campaigning before tuesday's crucial mid term elections in the u.s. the outcome will shape american policy for the next two years. let's look at what's at stake in

the vote. control of both branches of congress are up for grabs. all seats in 434 house of representatives seats, and the 36 seats in the senate we'll be watching closest. the democrats got through 53 seats of their own plus two independentindependents who hav. the republican party needs to win six more seats than it has already got in order to take control of the senate. remember, republicans already control the house of representatives, if they get a majority in both houses it would make president barack obama find difficult times. >> one of the biggest ones for example many a bill, there is a good likelihood that there are enough republicans and democrats

who want to put sanctions on iran. the president does not want to put sanctions on iran but if the senate ends up going red they will probably put that bill on his desk. the president will be in a tough position to ve veto bills but he hasn't been able to do much of that in the last two years. it's been hard to pay attention. if you think about it there are literal oarch 1,000 people running for office, you don't just have your senators and your governors and your house of representatives, you have mayors and dog catchers. the second reason is this: in many states especially republican run states they have passed voter identification laws to make it harder for young people to turn out to vote. those things combine for many

millenials. >> baghdad several attacks, imran khan what else have you got? >> now i can tell you, that's although not unusual, quite rare for this to happen. this happened in various different shia neighborhoods where people were gathering to celebrate the night of ashor. why have had two improvised explosive devices, sneer the residential compound killing two people. also, a car bomb, we've seen this after a past problem or suicide bomber killing six people and jirk 13. to the very peak when just occasion here for them. it will last throughout the

night. i saw threats against the shias and particularly this commemoration lust accreditation iraq. so it looks like this may well be realization of that threat. more as we have it, as i said at least ten people killed in central iraq across the city? >> what has this been affecting over the last few weeks? >> come from the type that answer the islamic state of iraq and the levant has made its threat against the shia, it's ambiguous to them, they see the shia here as being one of their key enemies and being an enemy of islam. what you seek is a number of attacks taking place, across the

country. i.s.i.l. fighters are being stretched, they are being pushed and they are making some gains against them. and every time we see something like that, we see reaction in baghdad, simply in light of a show that's happening now. >> imran, thank you. body of an indian wraiter was discovered by crews dismantling the costa concordia. capsized after hitting the island of gee giglio. >> more from buenos aires,. >> the accusation by the

argentine agencies, approximated gamble in a statement deny those accusations, there is no way they are attacked policy of that nature and they are keen to work with the argentine authorities. in trying to resolve this issue. the argentine tax authorities are saying they are sending the accusations to the tax office in the united states that deals with taxes there so they too can investigate. approximatprocter and gamble hae operations in the area, selling baby items, shampoo, razor blades, toothpaste and many, many items here, has a big share of the argentine market, has no

idea what suspending operations means, whether their three parts will continue operating until they can resolve these issues. this is not the first time that argentina has been in dispute with foreign companies operating here as it tries to control its flow of foreign currencies to deal with a depletion of its own are reserves herreserves here i. >> two of the biggest car makers will pay $100 million fine for violating clean air act. kia and hyundai, the penalties are largest for a clean air act violation in u.s. history. hyundai said it made honest mistakes. a fifth doctor has died in sierra leone, died overnight. a blow to keep health care workers safe.

the back of their minds you know but you can't let that affect your lives. you got to live your lives and carry on you know. >> would you consider taking a job in the tower there? >> no. >> can you tell me why? >> i don't know. maybe fear, i can't work in any of those buildings. i don't mind working around it but not in it. >> reporter: security will be tight as the workday begins in what is essentially a modern day fortress, solid poured concrete throughout, six times stronger than sidewalks and meltal rebar nearly double that of normal buildings. >> a man in chicago has broken two world records, walk between skyscrapers without a net and without a harness. nick wallenda walked more than two city blocks uphill while suspended more than 50 stories above the chicago river.
