tv   News  Al Jazeera  November 6, 2014 1:00pm-2:01pm EST

1:00 pm
a uh. this is al jazeera. welcome to the news hour. from al jazeera news hour, these are the top stories. libya supreme court rules the parliament is unconstitutional. the international criminal court rules further action storming of an aid bound fur gaza. her son was killed in battle she is still
1:01 pm
fighting and now she is recruiting women to go to the front lines. >> and upset with the government, tens of thousands of protestors are on the streets of brussells. >> welcome to the program. libya's supreme court has ruled that the u.n. backed parliament is legal. one of two rival administrations that have been vying for power. and has the backing of a powerful militia group. when libya has been wrapped by violence, the rival groups battle for control, the most powerful militias initially join forces to overthrow the former dictator. they have been batting
1:02 pm
over such issues as the international airport. but in august, it fell into the hands of fighters, who oppose the elected parliament. and benghazi tried to help their rivals defend the airport but fails. both benghazi and triply are so insecure, now the parliament held it's meetings in the port city. it operates from triply. libya has been under the control of two rival governments. enganged in daily fighting. now the supreme court has ruled on how to move forward. it has declared the u.n. backed parliament that was elected in june, is unconstitutional, and should be dissolved. the ruling was uh welcomed by members of the rival parliament in tripoli. >> following today's
1:03 pm
ruling they are proceeding this morning. we are now waiting for the committee, that prompted to present the first draft of the constitution on december 24th. this is what all the libyans are waiting for. the constitution. >> eastwood to brook. rival militias also formed two losely affiliated blocks one backing the government and seen as more moderate, the other backing the leaders in tripoli and seen as more religiously conservative. violence and rivalries have deeply split people, the country has fallen into chaos since the 2011. since the regime was
1:04 pm
forced out, rival brigades have the authority. consecutive governments have appeared weak and unable to restore law and order. attacks have become common, the libyan government of the new source of rove. and it is unlikely they have done anything to change that. also the former vice president of the supreme court council of libyan revolutionaries. in terms of the wider constitutional impact to this court ruling whoa is now in charge of the country. >> it is the formergnc, which was the before the
1:05 pm
parliament, so they take over now, and they are in the process of at least setting themselves at the official body, in the country. to start to libya. the cub in a vacuum like this, and the current parliament didn't really start the process of the process of hanking in from the gmc. now they are staying back to the gnc, and this is very legitimate. >> and what about the fighting. the renegade had the backing of the government, and he launched attacks against the islamist militias but the government now has been declared illegal it's an operation, he didn't really have the backing of a government or a backing of the parliament. and it was like an operation that started
1:06 pm
with self-interest, supported by external countries or poddies, and this is how it started. just recently, about three weeks ago, it was legitimized and adopted by the government. so we need to split between two things. the political process of libya, and the military operation of libya. these two really -- they go and battle and although there was murders today, it is not going back to the operation we know the government was backed by international relations is this a battle between those countries that supported the islamist and those that don't. >> initially yes. as we speak, yes, but i really hope and i hear that the american foreign ministry issued a statement that will respect the court ruling that have to add bide and
1:07 pm
they are asking to abide by it. especially from the freedom fighter, they accepted the ruling and the government. who was instated as a prime minister. and the court ruled against that, so way accepted that ruling, to avoided any further tensions in the street. now, it is the same court, that issues this ruling. and i hope, that the other side will really abide and respect this. >> all right, thank you very much for talking to al jazeera. >> now, a french bomb maker working for the al quaida linked front has been killed by the u.s. led coalition targeted islamic state of iraq. activists identify the man as david drejon, an air strike targeted his car that is near the syrian turkish border. and syrian government
1:08 pm
forces have dropped more bombs killing at least 20 people near aleppo. a second bomb was dropped when residents gathered at the scene of the first attack, the syrian observatory says an abandoned office for the al quaida links front is targeted. the u.s. led coalition has targeted air strikes overnight. according to the u.s. led coalition. and in the province in the northwest of the country. it is only the second time that group us other than isil have been hit by the coalition, on that front has been making head way in the past week, pushing out a u.s. supported rebel group. if this situation is not brought under control,
1:09 pm
potentially could end up controlling at least one if not both of the last two border crossings open to the moderate opposition in turkey. to which they received the flow of recruits, trainees ammunition, humanitarian assistance. everything that deliberated areas rely on now that is based in turkey. worked through these two border crossings. >> further south an important fight for the control is underway in eastern holmes. isil managed to take over a couple then the syrian regime took parts back again, but therapy no means security, and even though isil wouldn't be able to produce, it is having a major impact. >> what it is doing at the moment, is probably in the way of denial of these facilities and resources to the regime. that's significant because the gas fields -- the gas plants not all of them, but some of them were still producing gas and ultimately power for the regime.
1:10 pm
and therefore losing this is putting a dent in the ability to keep can the supply. >> power supply has been a problem throughout the conflict, but it is now getting worse. >> as winter approaches they are going to face a real shortage of fuel which mean as shortage of electricity, which mean as shore tat of heating of energy for hospitals and clinics, operating rooms. for everything you can think of. and that is likely to have a really negative impact on people's lives. it is clear whatever side you are on, there is no winner, just a country and a people ultimately being destroyed. stephanie decker al jazeera, beirut.
1:11 pm
one of those has been encouraging them to join the front line. whose husband is a military commander. jamal went to meet her. she knows all about the horrors of war. the armed group known as the ypg, her son also a fighter was killed by a sniper last year. despite her loss, she dedicated her time to encouraging can to take up arms in the what she call add battle for freedom. at this refugee camp, she meets with displaced curs some of them have also lost their loved ones. she tells me it is her duty to serve on the front line, she says the battle is part of a wider struggle not only against isil but against the regime. the kurdish woman was oppressed by two sides.
1:12 pm
first by society, and the other by the syrian regime which took away all her rights. despite this it is the kurdish woman who is now resisting and because of this she has become a symbol of freedom around the world. >> the kurdss celebrate their fighters. the ypg has posted several videos on the internet of it's female unit, fighting in other parts of syria. in syria, they pose a special threat to isil fighters. isil threatened to cut off our women's heads and told our fighters if they were to get killed by a woman they would not go to heaven, but the female unit fighting have demonstrated to the world how strong they are. >> she herself was imprisoned several times be i the government. at 65 she doesn't have
1:13 pm
any desire to pick up arms but that hasn't stopped her from asking others to do so. >> she tells me her own caughtser fighting on the front line. >> our women fighters and the mothers have vowed that they will take off their head carved and tie their feet together, because they refuse to retreat. they have declared either victory or martyrdom. >> but they remain optimistic. >> syrian curds and our arab brothers from the free syrian army are fighting together. we have been dreaming of this for years now. in order to defend the people. the refugee camps are filled with children, they have sisters and mothers fighting for a war that has destroyed their country, the point is there will be no more war to fight when they
1:14 pm
grow up. al jazeera, from the turkish syrian border. >> the criminal sort says it won't investigate the killing of ten activists heading to gaza four years ago. but the case is beyond it's remaining. sara colburn the director of the palestine campaign, she says the entire world is begging to stand up for palestine. and bring israel to account it continues to commit them, we have just seen over 2,000 palestinians killed in gaza. including 500 children, and we have seen the
1:15 pm
destruction of gaza. the running back why we set sail was to bring humanitarian aid to gaza, and to raise awareness worldwide of the suffering of palestinians. there's been a heightennenned sense of tension, a day after driver rammed his van into three soldiers in the west bank all three were injured one of them critically. it happened on wednesday, along a road between bethlehem. early on wednesday. and the palestinian suspect was shot dead by israeli police, with protests in east jerusalem. palestinians see it as
1:16 pm
increased aggression. >> well, the situation remains tense right across jerusalem, of course, in the occupied east where it's been extremely tense for the last several months but also in west jerusalem. of course, this is where what israeli police are describing as a hit and run terror attack, took place at a light rail station which a number of people were injured and won person died. from his injuries in that attack which was carried out by a palestinian man, a palestinian man who was later shot dead by police. but all of this underscores the tension right across the city, we have seen israeli authorities put up cement blocks in front of these rail stations, to prevent any further attacks. and we have also seen security increase right around occupied east jerusalem. now, that in itself is significant because the security there has been enormous now for the past several weeks, in fact, police from right around the country have been brought to the annex east
1:17 pm
of jerusalem, for that very purpose. and now we are seeing even more security and that is partially why we have seen these continuing protests in several neighborhoods, several palestinian neighborhoods, whatever the case, the news of what again the police are describing as a hit and run terror i attack, happens in the occupied west bank, in which three soldiers were wounded that also is a serious cause for concern. many fearing that the unrest that we have seen in the occupied east of jerusalem is spilling over into the west bank. and that, of course, is a very serious cause for alarm, not only for palestinian leadership but also for the israelis as well. >> the new nato chief has made an unannounced trip to afghanistan, it is the first since taking off last month, he promised the continued support of the witness alliance after a foreign combat troops withdraw at the end of the year. will stay on to continue training afghan troops,
1:18 pm
to combat the on going taliban insurgency. still to come, train travelers are again left stranded. drivers have walked out for the next four days. >> i am a side borg. >> and how sign fiction became science fact, we meet the man who thanks to technology can finally see in color. in a sport, while they are supporting the kurdish cause can and why it has lanked them in trouble, still to come. now the operator of the underground drug website has been arrested in the united states. he was tarkenton custody on wednesday, in san francisco. the website has 150,000 users, and had been generating revenues of 8 million-dollar as month. let's get more now, who joins us from washington, d.c. tom, what more has the fbi been saying? and what is the
1:19 pm
background? >> well, the original case against silk road number one, 1.0, that was about a year ago when the fbi shut it down. and first seizing it's servers in iceland. the defendant in that case, who is going on trial actually this week in new york denies having any ownership of the website or of the servers. that case is proceeding, but after that website was shut down, and this is a clandestine website operated through the tour network, and the businesses conducted with bit coins. that was continued with silting road 2.0. ben hall is accused by the authorities of having taken over the operation and just picking up where the previous version of silk road left off. and conducting this kind
1:20 pm
of brokerage of not only illegal drugs but also computer hacking tools and services. and make i.d.es. now, in the original case, the one that is under trial right now, the government was asked or the defendants lawyers contended that not only was the government illegally seizing the accounts the email accounts of ross al becket, the owner of the original website, but that it had actually possibly been done with a collusion of the nsa with clandestine surveillance of the servers in iceland. the judge in that case has refused to suppress that evidence, saying since he is not contending that he has any connection with that server, therefore, that's not an admissible grounds for suppressing. so we will see how this case unrolls right after this disposition of this
1:21 pm
trial. tom, thank you. good afternoon, everybody. i am david schuster. in new york, you can see house speaker john boehner is going to guess hirst first press conference after republicans took control of the senate, here is the house speaker. >> i hope you didn't believe it. >> [laughter] >> i am going too start by congratulating my friend senator mitch mcconnell, as you know mitch and i have worked very closely together over the last eight years. and i don't think i can ask for a better partner, or do i think the senate could have a better majority leader. also express my gratitude to the people of ohio's 8th congressional district. my mission is the same today as it was in 1990 when i was first elected
1:22 pm
to build a smallerless costly and more accountable government. and right now, i believe that means continuing to listen. to make the american people priorities our priorities. and to confront the big challenges starts with the economy. you have heard me talk many times about the many jobs bills that the outgoing senate majority has ignored. those bills will offer the congress i think a new start. we can act on the keystone pipeline, restore the 40 hour work week, that was gutted by obama-care. and pass the hire more heros act, that would encouraging our businesses to hire more of our veterans. and again, this is just a start. i have been going around the country, outlining my own personal vision for how we can reset the economic foundation.
1:23 pm
the energy boom that is going on in america is real. and i think it provides us with a very big opportunity. but to maximi that, i believe that we need to do five things. and that is, fix our broken tax code. address the debt that is hurting our economy, and imprisoning the future of our kids and grandkids. reform our legal system. reshape our regulatory policy to make bureaucrats more accountability. and give parents more choices in a system that isn't educating enough of america's children. now, finding common ground will be hard work, but it will be even harder if the president isn't willing to work with us. yesterday we heard him say he may double down on his go it alone approach. i have told the president before, he needs to put politics aside and rebuild trust. and rebuilding trust not only with the morn people, but with the american people's
1:24 pm
representatives here in the united states congress. >> this is the best way to deliver solutions to get the economy going again, and to keep the american dream alive and well, this will be the focus of our new majority, and i am egg tore get to work. you have all heard me say that our immigration system is probing and needs to be fixed. but i have made it clear to the president, if he acted unilaterally, he will poison the well and there will be no chance for immigration reform moving in this congress. it is as simple as that.
1:25 pm
how do you walk this balance without getting sucked back into that being the precome innocent issue, or is it the predominant issue. you have new freshman in, and try to tweak this in some way? obama-care is hurting our economy. it is hurting middle class families and it is hurting the ability for employers to create more jobs. and so the house, i am sure, at some point next year will move to repeal obama-care, because it should be repealed. it should be replaced, with common seasons reforms, that respect the doctor relation -- doctor patient relationship. now, whether that can pass the senate, i don't know. but i know in the house it will pass. but that does uhn't mean we shouldn't do other things.
1:26 pm
there are bills that have passed the house, that would, in fact, make changes to obama-care. there's a bipartisan majority in the house and senate, for repealing the medical device tax. for getting rid of the ipad, the independent payment advisory boor, the rationing board in obama care. how uh about the individual mandate. there are a lot of democrats and republicans who believe this is unfair. just because we may not be able to get everything we want, doesn't mean we shouldn't try to get what we can. [inaudible question] there are majorities
1:27 pm
to -- >> you heard the president say that he basically gave you a year waiting for you to be able to deliver on immigration reform. and that in this post election period he is ready to act, and then he would pull back if you can can have legislation that works. could that be a catalyst for you to get something done. >> no, because i believe that the president continues to act on his own he is going to poison the well. when you play with matches and take the risk of burning yourself. he is going to burn himself if he continues to go down this path. the american people made it clear, they wont to get things done, and they don't want the president acting on a unilateral basis. >> how do you expect the president to trust that you really want to work together? when out of the gate you say that you want to repeal his signature law that you know has no chance of getting a veto? how do you expect him to trust you? >> the american people
1:28 pm
have made it clear they are not for obama-care. ask all the domes that lost their elections. a lot of them voted for obama-care. so my job is not to get along with the president just to get along with him, although we have a nice relationship. my job is to listen to the american people, and make their priorities our priorities. >> the wall street journal is out with a report saying that president obama has sent a secret letter to iran supreme leader, on fighting isis. >> i don't trust the iranians. i don't think we need to bring them into this. i would hope the negotiations underway are serious, but i have my doubts. having reiterated okay, fine, i won't take executive action on
1:29 pm
immigration, can you guarantee him he. >> i want to talk to our members about how to move forward, i have made my position very clear, it is time for the congress of the united states to deal with a very difficult issue in our society. presidential nominee -- >> this is not about politics. this is trying to do the right thing for the country. #u. >> isn't the idea of appealing obama-care third or fourth line in your -- isn't it in a sense someway poisons the well from your angle? >> no. >> when you go to the white house tomorrow? >> no, our job is to make the american people's our priorities, they don't like obama care, i don't like it, it is hurting
1:30 pm
our economy. the president said i listened to what happen tuesday night. really? >> . >> well, you spent as many nights on the road as i have over the last two years, you would hear from employers, at every stripe, from large to small to medium, on every industry, and when you listen to these employers talk about the concerns that they have over what it means for their work force, what it means for their employees and you see them hesitate, in terms of hiring more people, it is pretty clear to me. >> you have a new crop of conservatives coming into the house who have suggested among other things that women need to submit to the authority of their husbands, that hillary clinton is the antichrist, and the family of sandy hook victims should just get over it, so the caw cause is getting better -- >> no no. >> no. >> how do you deal with them differently than you did in the last congress?
1:31 pm
>> i think the premise of your question i would take exception to. >> yes, we have some new members who have made some statements. i will give you that. but when you uh look at the vast majority of the new members they are really solid members. whether it's the youngest woman to ever serve in congress, to another african-american republican, from texas, we -- we have done a very good job of recruiting good can't dates. and we are going to have a very good crop of members. >> on immigration you tried to act and your members yanked you back. >> no, no, no. >> how can you work on the president on an issue like this. >> . >> again, i would argue with the premise of the question, what held us back was a flood of kids coming to the border because of the actions of the president had already taken. and let me tell you what, the american people from the right to the left,
1:32 pm
started to look at this issue in a very different way. that's why i have heard it clear. the president if he continues to get on this path of faking action on his own is inviting big trouble. >> the last six months was 18 months before that. >> i could regale you with all of my challenges, of trying to get members on both sides of the aisle to deal with this. they were numerous. but -- >> hope springs eternal. >> harry reid, the republican party has done -- what it set out to accomplish by firing harery reid, is he not longer an obstacle to getting the agenda of the republicans through this congress. >> you might want to ask mitch mcconnell about that. >> do you see him as being someone who has power to score -- >> well, of course, you
1:33 pm
know how the senate works. requires 60 votes to do most anything. and so clearly, he is going to have some power. but if you look at -- let's take the 46 jobs bills that are sitting in the united states senate. that have been held up by the democrat majority in the senate. almost all of those passed the house on a bipartisan bases. and i believe that almost all of them enjoy support in the united states senate. if you are doing, as you have heard me say this before, i tell my colleagues all the time. if you are doing the right things the ever the right reasons you don't have to worry about anything, the right thins will happen. >> house speaker john boehner giving a rather short news conference, and a short statement, he said reaction to the election, he has told the president he needs to pull politics aside and rebuild trust with the lawmakers in congress, house speaker had some colorful language when he was asked about the
1:34 pm
prospect of president obama taking unilateral reaction, the house speaker said this would be like playing with matches and if you play with matches you will burn yourself. he said that the president had indicated he had listened to what happened tuesday night, and the house speaker said really? interesting stuff from the house speaker, lisa stark joins us now from the white house, and lisa, two man issues that were discussed. immigration, and healthcare reform. pick whichever you want, but where are they headed. >> let's start with obama-care can. it's been an interesting transition, to yesterday mitch mcconnell who will take over as the leader in the senate, said look, i would love to repeal it, but we will have to work on the areas we don't like. well, today we have this editorial, by john boehner and mitch mcconnell saying right out of the gate, we want to repeal obama-care.
1:35 pm
yesterday, the president says he will draw a line in the sand, he will obviously not let them repeal his sit piece of legislation. so despite the fact that everyone is talking about we can work together, maybe we can find common grown, already you have a key issue where you see that both sides are digging in and are not going to find any common ground. john boehner indicated he thinks obama care is bad for the country. that it is hurting the economy, that it is not helping healthcare, that it is forcing -- that it is hurting employers who want to add jobs and that it is critical to get rid of it. and he did talk about the fact that there is bipartisan support that the republicans and some domes don't like. and president obama has indicated he is willing to look at pieces of this law. that he is not willing to sign a bill that would repeal obama care. so already i think the niceties have gone out
1:36 pm
the window on that issue. >> ironically, on the issue of immigration reform, some of what the president and the white house have talk uhed about doing are elements that were contained in this by party season bill, some thicks that john boehner supports but felt that he couldn't bring it to the floor, because of his conservative opposition, would nit a way is it possible that when john baker talk uhs about the president plays with matches that maybe in some fashion it does make boehner's case easier to his own members the f the president acts first, takes some action and then boehner can can say now we have to pass legislation to roll it back? that that scuttled any chance of any passage in the bill. basically saying congress needs to deal with this, i have long said congress needs to deal with this. it's been a political football for ten years.
1:37 pm
he wants to do immigration reform, and he is saying if the president takes unilateral action, as you said, plays with fire, that this will make it impossible to get anything done in the house. now, the president has indicated that he has waited. he has patiently waited and the house hasn't done anything so he feels he needs to move forward on his own. and i i will tell you right after the election results yesterday, i was already getting a lot of emails and press releases from folks who support immigration reform, want the president to act, where upset he didn't act, they are already putting the pressure as you can imagine on the white house, to do something. so this is a really tough call. both on the part of the white house, i think, on the part of the hill, everyone believes something needs to be done, the question is can they build that goodwill, to do it together, or are we going to continue with this stalemate? >> and it sounds like the drama that builds for the big meeting tomorrow at the white house, president obama and mitch
1:38 pm
mcconnell, and harry reid and nancy pelosi, is it possible then that giving this coming clash that the president says okay, how much more time do you need? and there's a new deadline that is set on john boehner the ever the house to take some sort of action perhaps even in good faith, and then if he doesn't take action, then the president says okay, by a certain date if you don't act, then i will go forward with executive action? >> you know lit be interesting to see if he is willing to make that deal, the president has indicated that that he was going to take this action, even before the election. he held off. the action that he is talking about taking would allow a number of people who are in this country without documentation who are in this country i legally, to stay here. so the indication as soon as the election was over,
1:39 pm
the president would move forward, is he going to be able to sit on the sidelines upset that constituency, the hispanic voters and wait and give congress more time. he seems to indicate yesterday he wasn't going to be willing to do that, he had waited long enough, and he said look, i am going to sign this, and then you can can go past your legislation and all my executive actions will be moot. take care of it that way. anything he said yesterday at the news conference? urn fortunately i didn't either, because uh i was listening to john boehner. so i am in the dark as well. >> i think we can trust that he did not go out on a limb and make any policies i don't what the president may have said yesterday. i am sure. >> always appreciate it. a quick break here on al jazeera america, and be right back after this.
1:40 pm
fires on the airplane... >> they're short changing the engineering process... >> we go undercover on the factory floor... al jazeera investigates broken dreams: the boing 787 on al jazera america

1:43 pm
incoming majority leader in urging president obama not to take any unilateral action on immigration reform. the house speaker said of the president that if he acts unilaterally he will poison the welt. and there will be no chance of immigration reform passing in this congress. boehner could not explain what would happen whether or not the congress will have their own vote if the president didn't act. that is the clash that is coming between the white house and the congress can in the lame duck session. and then of course everybody that won, those numbers will take their oath and be sworn in in early january, when the new congress begins. almost $4 billion were spent on these midterm elections. the presidential race in 2016 can cost even more.
1:44 pm
