region. >> we were able to pivot to the asia pacific region. >> the pivot was part of his campaign promises but is it a reality? the military presence has not increased by much. >> the potential may have looked greater at that stage. since the budget cuts have gone through they have been able to hold asia level while other areas have faced serious cuts but not as dramatic as some might have thought in the first place. >> the u.s. trade deficit when the president took office was 336 million. in 2014, it was 497 million. but as the president heads back to the region he has a renewed chance to change that. more possible now ironically because his own party lots control of the senate. -- lost control of the senate. as the president lands in china

education or health statement. >> analysts say that there may be no turning back. well the problem with concessions from the central government is that cat lon cataa already has considerable powers. there is not much to offer. on the other hand, the nationalists in catalonia have already visualized, have seen the promised land to s so to sp, it is obvious they will not have much in the independence. >> even with the overwhelming turn out, scoring a moral victory. even though they voted in their missless on sunday that vote will not have any binding effect on the status of catalonia and spain, at least they can claim they won the right for an official referendum on independence.

claudio lavanga, al jazeera, barcelona. worst fighting in a month between government officials and separatist rebels. kim valone has more. >> a battle that's become a symbol of ukraine's crisis. through a ceasefire, elections and continu constant calls for , scars of the battle continue to spread. those caught in the middle can do little but watch on. even those living further from the front line receive not so gentle reminders of the war raging around them. >> it's scary, of course it's scary, all normal people who live there, of course they're

scared. >> translator: when it's closer then we take shelter. but when it's booming in the distance we don't stay any notice. we're used to this situation. ♪ >> reporter: the saitthe siter allegiance, continue unabated. this piece together with sound track aired on sunday. heavy artillery on the move then by daylight make a show of the fire power at their disposal. kiev says the east is once again spiraling into unrest. >> there are reports of shelling by rebels on positions of the anti-terrorist forces from several directions. donetsk was shelled four times from antiaircraft artillery tanks and light weapons. >> while some residents tentatively document the damage,

a fitting tribute on a day that narkmarked the triex triement. triumph. earlier in the day the german chancellor remembered the east germans who died trying to fled flee to the west before the wall came down. >> translator: it showed we had the power to shape our destiny. that's the message of the fall of the wall. it's directed in germany but those in other areas of kook, syria, iraq, other regions where human rights are threat.e threar violated. >> this man shows me his east german documents and remembered waiting for house at a checkpoint. >> translator: then we crossed and stood in west berlin. it is in this day an overwhelming memory. it is a strange memory, to see

the brandenberg gate from the west end, something you'll never forgot. >> the path of the wall followed in a divided city and divided a country, a continent and the world in a superpower standoff. then, they were set free. to fly over the capital of a reunified germany, a symbol for the struggle for little bit and the power of positive changes even when it seems impossible. ni96 spicer berlin. >> talks of up against a november 24th dead line even if a deal is reached it will have to pass muster with a republican controlled senate. james bays reports. >> as diplomatic negotiations go, these have been a marathon. on some shape or form there have been talks with iran on its

nuclear program for over a decade. now they could be in a strait. p-5 plus one, the five permanent members of the security council plus one, iran wants biting sanctions lifted. the international community will do that if it gets guarantees that iran's military facilities can't be put to -- nuclear facilities can't be put to military use. two sides are closer than they ever have been before. >> my hope is that now is the moment for really political decisions to be made that make a judgment that we can show the world that countries with differing views, differing systems, but with a mutual interest of trying to prove a

peaceful program can do that. >> they've come to the table and they've negotiated seriously around facts that they are not developing a nuclear capability for a long time. >> selling that deal back home, mr. zarif must convince skeptical hard liners that remain highly suspicious of the u.s. for mr. kerry, the task is even harder. lifting u.s. sanctions requires action by congress. >> if congress steps in and violates the deal, refuses to implement it, the primary winner will be actually the iranians because they will be off the hook. >> talks have occurred at geneva, vienna, and correct track of the gulf state of oman.

oman is no longer a secret venue. with less than three weeks to go for the deadline there are still big challenges. the political dynamics in washington only make things more complicated. james bays al jazeera. >> earlier we spoke with irvin ibrahimian. >> congress may make sounds but in the final analysis, what are they going to offer instead? if they are talking about bomb, bomb iran, i don't think it's going to go well with the american public to enter another war in the middle east. obama's line basically is that he has a deal it avoids a confrontation. what is going to basically be an alternative any congressman was going to offer. >> this evening negotiators from the u.s. iran and eu say they

are going to stay in omanfor another day. a syrian human rights group say more than 1,000 people have been killed in kobani since i.s.i.l. launched its strikes more than a month ago. meanwhile the pentagon has gone on record, that abu bakr al-baghdadi was injured. it is not clear who was among them. following an explosion inside the police headquarters in kabul, the blast happened just outside the police chief's office. jennifer glasse has more. >> the police chief is unhurt but one of his main deputies was

be remains of some of the students and confessions of people who admit they took part in the killing either strangling or shooting them dead. they are still considered miss sog they can't prove the identity of these remains. it is a double message, we have people who confessed but i still consider this a missing persons case. he ended this in an abrupt, brutal and annoying away, saying enough i'm tired. that spurred anger there on saturday and sunday you had people caring a hashtag policy, saying i'm tired of the impunity, tired of there being no justice here. we also had on sunday the arrival here in mexico city of hundreds of protesters who had walked from guerrero the state in southwest mexico where these

students went missing after they were abducted by local police and turned over to a drug cartel. investigation moving forward although he keeps touching a raw nerve of mex can'mexicans by shn uncompromisinging approach to te parents. >> yemen's prime minister khali-baha look confident. faces a string of problems including sectarian violence instability and the rise of al qaeda.

>> according to the internal capacity. according to international capacity. i know it's not easy to start in yemen but with the start of yemeni people, with the support of the arab nation, with the support of our friends, i think we'll do well against all those challenges. >> this is the swearing in ceremony for the newly formed government. minister loyal to the former president, showed up and backed the current president. their leader had ruled against such moves. thfs general mahmoud asud bahae, the new foreign minister, getting support from the commanders still loyal to sallah. his general is the intelligence chief and internal minister. his task is to deploy security

forces in a capital controlled by houthi fighters. >> houthis are yemenis. these are the terms we are using, they are a political fiction. we try include them rather than seclude them. >> this is a government made up of many professionals. the youngs. >> anyone who was not concerned would be abnormal. but i had a frank discussion with the prime minister on this and on the portfolio in specific and what the priorities are for this period and what we can achieve and i think we do hope that there is a clear vision on what needs to be done. >> the government has the backing of the international community. but political support is not enough in a country where almost half of the population is war.

the chances, the president and the priements have little control over the army and the police and the capital remains largely under the control of the houthi fighters. a situation that is likely to deepen yemen's political divide. hashima albara, al jazeera, sanaa. >> what enrollment will go from november 15th to mid february. the government is expecting a much smoother launch this year after many had trouble using the website when it was rolled out last year. flight tenants hav attendants hd a vote, considered a setback in the merger of the two dare ah

>> 4,000°, 1.6 inches thick, will burn off, about 20% will burn off. the big part of this test is we'll get it back, and examine it and see how it performed. >> nasa's goal is to send the orion with astronauts to the moon and beyond. the first trip is planned for 2018. courtney keely, al jazeera. >> president obama is in the far east for the apec summit. that's next.

on al jazeera america

>> welcome back to al jazeera america. here are the top stories we're following right now. mexico's president is condemning violent protests over 43 missing students. setting fires outside the president's national palace. they demanded justice for the students who were ambushed by police and handed over to a known drug gang.

polls are closed in catalonia's vote. early results indicate that an overwhelming majority of them voted to become an independent state. president obama landed earlier tonight in china for the apec economic summit. it's his first visit to the world's second largest economy since 2009. later on he will visit myanmar and australia. >> it is sunday night and the regular look at the week ahead. president obama will attend multiple summits hold trade talks and pivot strategy. coming days after the mid term elections his trip has multiple levels. melissa chan. >> there's this thing called the transpacific partnership and it's the most important trade deal you've never heard of. it's supposedly in the focus of the president's trip and at

every point it's likely to be a talking point. it be the biggest thing since the world trade organization in 1995. the road to an agreement isn't smooth. japan can't work out details with the u.s. and here in the united states some critics are very worried about this deal because it addresses a lot more stuff than just tariff issues. patent and copyrights, labor standards, and they say it will give rise to the tyranny of multinational corporations. but even more importantly, china isn't part of the tpp and that's intentional. even though american officials would say they would welcome china if beijing would be interested. actually the tpp could be a powerful way for the u.s. to reassert economic influence in a region that has been dominated by china.

a lot of asian leaders are expressing doubts about president obama's asia pivot strategy which was an attempt by the administration to rebalance its priorities a bit. competing for the president's attention if you combine that with cuts to the u.s. military it's not really entirely clear how an asia pivot strategy would actually work. now the center piece of this trip will be the meeting of the asian pacific cooperation forum or apec. and often what happens on the sidelines of apec is just as important if not more important than the forum itself. china is hosing this year but many countries will not be sitting comfortably and will welcome president obama's return to the talks. it promises to be a full trip one that isn't likely to solve any big problems but that just

might if all goes well start the process of rebuilding a u.s. asia relationship that many asians feel washington has neglected. >> it will be a full trip our melissa chan. this is the first time the president will be attending the asian summit in two years. many are worried about its influence. during his ten day trip the president will visit myanmar to meet with the asean nations, and finally, the president will be heading to brisbane australia for a summit. development energy and global institutions are among the topics on the agenda. to talk more about president obama's trip i'd like to welcome isaac stone fish, executive director of progressive economy joining us from washington, d.c.

glad to have you with us. >> thanks for having me. >> thank you very much. >> the political climate has changed for the presidential. leader down graded by the mid term elections does the shift in congress weaken his political role? >> i think it definitely weakens his political role in terms of how much he's going to be able to argue with beijing, as if they see him as a lame duck president and if they know that he's not going to get the same kind of support from republican congress moving forward as opposed to a democratic one i think they'll take advantage of that. >> are you surprised by this shift? he was a superpower on the world substantially. >> over the last four or five years especially since the financial crisis china has been a lot more assertive. they definitely see the united states as a superpower they don't see it as the only superpower, i think they see themselves as basically equals with the united states. >> the president needs to play a

commanding role. how much will this trip test the president's ability mr. gresess? >> i have a few differences with eye sac. i thinsac -- isaac. there's broad support for that in the political system and chinese and other governments know that. >> on that note could a republican controlled senate strengthen the president's hands when it comes to trade? >> i think the senate would be fairly supportive of the president on tpp either way. it's yet to be seen what the new republican senators are going to come in thinking, what are their priorities going to be, how do they feel about trade. but i think in general there's pretty good bipartisan support for the president on this and if he brings home a deal that opens markets and preserves the global

internet, raises labor standards i think that will be well received. >> what are the biggest obstacles that the u.s. face in the tpp besides gaining support? >> i think the biggest obstacle about the tpp is most people don't know what tpp is. it is not a big issue for people in america. as an editor in a magd magazinen we get a piece on tpp, it is hard to get someone interested in reading it. that's a problem. >> mr. gresser your thoughts? >> that's basically right, tpp has been a negotiation that has been worked on intensively and technically, not burst on the public eye. the administration can view that as a weakness or a strength. if they bring home something strong they can say it promotes

american values, it's not just your bad thing. >> stand by for a minute. adrian brown, what does china want from this apec summit? >> china wants an awful lot. it won't get all that it wants but essentially it's economic. the focus of this apec summit is really regional economic integration and china sees itself really at the center of all of that. it wants at the moment that free trade agreement that melissa mentioned in her report, it's very important to china, but the u.s. has grave misgivings because it's promoting something similar. vast investment bank that analysts say could arrival the u.s. bank. governments and accountability

issues. where the account u.s. and china agree? i think one area is almost certainly counterterrorism. the united states is hoping to get cooperation from china in the campaign against i.s.i.l. now china is not going to be committing troops or weapons but it will refrain from criticizing u.s. policies in iraq and syria. in return china wants u.s. rks for -- recognition for its approximate its western province where it has its home grown militants. >> establishing a blueprint for u.s. china relations, what can the president do or say at this point to craft a strong enough blueprint moving forward? >> well, i think it's important to remember thomas that president obama will have a full day with president xi jinping on wednesday. that's an reflection of the

importance that china put on its relationship with barack obama. what will they discuss on that one day together? almost certainly the contentious issue of cyber espionage, that has been a thorny issue in this relationship. also china wants to discuss things like ebola and of course climate change. but i think china wants to have consensus at this apec. it wants harmony and it has been pulling out the stops to ensure that will happen. china wants to convey an image to its people, look: the leaders of the world have come to china to see us. this is a very big deal for china. >> finally before we let you go, the skies still a little hazy but it looks a little clearer than usually. there's a reason for that right? >> thomas, it is a lot clearer than it would normally be at this time of year. china has been pulling out the

stops to ensure it is clear. factories within a 200 kilometer radius of the apec center have been shut down. cars are only allowed on the roads on alternate days and only those with odd-numbered plates are allowed to go on the roads. so china is doing what it can to ensure there are very low emissions during this apec. also we have a massive security operation here, 30,000 police and soldiers on duty supplemented by some 800,000 volunteers. so that really underscores the importance that china puts on hosting a clean and a safe apec. >> our 8th adrian brown covering the president's trip in beijing. adrian, thank you. mr. fish back to you. how big an obstacle is chien? >> that's a very broad question. do you mean -- >> when it comes to trade.

>> ideologic china is an obstacle. what it is an obstacle to is the way that america does trade. >> it's pursuing the new trade deal. >> the new silk road, which it offered $40 billion to start trade between china and asia. china's way of doing aid, a lot of money, not a lot of clarity how that's being spent. soe's and governments and individuals instead of governments, that's the way that china wants to do things. both would be great for trade globally but it's just a very different form ever trade. >> what's the difference in passing a major trade pacts? >> well, there are a couple of interests we have. one is for our own purposes,

u.s -- hat not fully recovered from the financial crisis. we still have somewhat elevated employment. if we can export more, that will really accelerate our ability to grow the economy and put more people back to work. ttp doesn't have china but it's about 40% of u.s. trade, three of our five biggest trading partners, real money, large economic stakes for the u.s. and then looking ahead the point about different chinese model is a useful way to see this. that u.s. is looking for future asia pacific economy that is open and based on laws an clear rules that deals with labor starts as well as company profits, that works hard to serve the single and open internet. those are questions how economies work, how they should work, and i think both in terms of the immediate stake of you know how do we grow, how do we

get more exports and how do we create the sort of asian economy or asia-pacific economy we would like to see. tpp is very important in both of those. >> mr. fish, the crisis in eastern europe what's happening in russia, are people weary about what's happening in the region? >> our counterparts in seoul and in philippines, they have to walk a line, saying this is asia pacific, we're going to rebalance to asia and not alienating the chinese at the same time, who often see, the u.s. pivot as a thinly veiled attempt to contain china. so i think obama does a much better job of being engaged with china than say kerry who is very much focused on the middle east and hopefully on his last two

years in office he will make this a foreign policy success. >> how do you think he'll handle himself in the region? >> the more the united states can keep the debate focused on politics, human rights, cyber-issues anything outside of the economy the more it wins but the more it becomes about economics especially globally the more china wins because its economy has grown so much more quickly and more vibrantly. >> mr. gresser, what do you think about the week ahead? >> tpp will be an institutional changechange. something the president will be proud to leave behind. >> isaac stone phish, asia editor, and abe gresser, appreciate your contribution on the week ahead.

a service will be held in amsterdam for the victims of the malaysia flight over ukraine. on wednesday the u.n. committee against torture will begin a review in the united states in geneva. extraordinary renditions among other controversial practices. coming up on al jazeera america. another day of violence as israeli shoot an arab-israeli man. a syrian refugee gets word she's no longer eligible for aid.

>> it's the second day of violent protests in israel after the shooting of an arab israeli

mafn in the northern part of the country. the man reportedly threatened police with a knife before he was killed. police say they are investigating the shooting to see whether proper protocol was followed. hundreds of thousands of syrian refugees have been forced to flee to jordan. according to law they cannot work there. >> barely been able to make ends meet for the last two years. now she says they've been hungry for almost a month. a few weeks ago, she got this text message informing her that her family was no longer eligible for food assistance from the u.n.'s world food program. the reason, they have been identified as being able to meet their basic food needs on their own. she has only rietio rice and ves

in her refrigerator. >> we feel unwanted here after we lost the food vouchers. this is a policy force forcing s back to the shelters. >> sala has started picking and cleaning olives from home and selling them to make some money. up to 12,000 families have recently been secluded from the food voucher program. a study by the world food program concluded that these families have access to sufficient income or family networks. many have appealed to be reinstated. the majority do not have enough money so they relied on vouchers. many have expressed concerns that without that support they may resort to begging or sending their children out to work in order to put food on the tame.

>> mom most syrian families sell their vouchers to buy nonfood items or pay rent. the u.n. says it has needed to prioritize certain families, concluded that 15% don't need the vouchers but there may be errors. >> we can see if it's an senate error we can reinstate them completely, some we can be clear from their living conditions the assets they can that they actually can survive on their own and they will stay excluded. >> but there are so many that stay sai they can't survive on their own and return to syria and conditions only get worse the longer they stay i in exile. many people are getting concerned, james bays reports. >> keeping the peace in liberia

but not much longer. u.n. mission for over a decade but now because of the threat from ebola they're pulling out and no other country's offering to take their place. liberia is the worth his country. 6500 cases of ebola, about half the current total of 13,000 cases across the worst-affected parts of west africa. for now other countries with troops in libel are staying put but they are concerned. >> we -- in liberia are staying put but they are concerned . >> we have a hospital there, level 2 hospital so we are worried but not alarmed, we are not panicked because we have taken adequate measures to keep our troops so that they remain safe. >> all the three countries most affected by ebola are places that were already facing huge challenges, u.n. troops are still needed in liberia, still a

troubled country after a devastating conflict. the u.n. peace keeping mission in sierra leone may have closed over a year ago but it is a nation suffering from the aftermath of its own civil war and guinea is also another extremely poor country with conflicts in its recent past. here in u.n. headquarters there is deep concern not only about the medical emergency created by ebola but also a threat about the breakdown of security. >> a crisis of this magnitude this horrible situation can at any time give rise to a breakage in the law and order. and in the stability of the country. as i said institutions are still not very strong and the strains are enormous. >> reporter: the u.n. security council and general assembly will both be meeting in the next few days to discuss the ongoing ebola crisis.

james bays, united nations. >> weather with rebecca. >> cold blast coming into the central u.s. plus quite a bit of snow. i'll show you who is going to get upwards of two feet, coming up. up.

>> a little hawaiian town of pahoa is still standing despite molten lava flowing out of cil kilauea. experts say the lava is still moving but only advanced a couple of inches in almost two weeks. a meteor caught on tape. this dash cam video captured the moment in san antonio when a bright light can be seen streaking across the sky. people reported seeing the same

bright light as far north as dallas and as far south as corpus christi. bright fire ball over texas. rebecca stevenson, joining us, it's quite a site not very common or is it? >> every few years we see a video come out. not quite as often as we get those as compared to snow and certainly snow will be the big story in the next two days. we'll get hammered with it over the northern parts of the u.s. canadian border dropping down into the teens and gusting winds into 50 miles an hour in montana. in fact through the day tomorrow it looks like billings just past the midnight hour will have hit their high temperature because the temperatures just go down after that. cold air is working its way into the northern part of the u.s., tomorrow tuesday and even

further south, we do expect parts of oklahoma towards georgia to be about 20, 25° below the average as we get closer to wednesday. now this is what it looked like in montana before the sunset in this glais glacier national par. a lot of heavy wet though comes down and that continues to move the low pressure system is over montana now but sout south wards towards colorado. so single digits, 9° at saskatoon and that's coming into the midwest. we expect a specific area to get very heavy snow and it's going to be in a band stretching across south dakota, northern portion towards wisconsin and impressive amounts up to two feet expected to stretch into -- right across minnesota into

wisconsin. so it's a stormy night. >> rebecca thank you. a new taxi service is rolling in new york city. she rides for women only passengers but not everyone in the city is lining up to hail one. kaelin ford has the story. >> she has been in a taxi for 20 years. but the 65-year-old dominican republic. >> you're not carrying the car you're driving it. >> she says she retired two years ago, but she dusted off her license and got behind the wheel for a different service, she rides. a service for women only with

only women drivers. 236 million people 60% of them women hop in cabs each year. women have been driving taxis in new york since the 1940s but the city's taxi and limousine commission say 90 to 98% are male and only 10% of females are behind the wheel. >> that's why she founded the company. >> we deserve equal rights, equal pay, equal choice. ready to work so for working mocts i mean for mothers that would like to work but are home with the children they have the flexibility of schedule. >> women call taxis through their smartphones and pray through app as well. and don't have to carry cash. it was a life saver. halfway through the ride, the

taxi driver forgot to turn on the toll. >> violating human rights law and maybe subject to substantial penalties. some male drivers aren't happy, either. >> they have different idea than your people going to europe, asian people want asian drivers then it's big pains created in the city. >> she rides says it has 300 drivers already. denora says it will support other women. >> the majority who see us behind the wheel will never stop calling. >> a call that drivers are eager to answer, in the city that never sleeps. kaylynn ford, al jazeera, new

york. >> that's going to do it for us. i'm thomas drayton, in new york. al jazeera presents, the life and crimes of doris paine. us >> if we don't have a verdict by one o'clock it's gonna be another day. >> well it's either gonna be before noon, or they get to come back at one thirty. >> the waiting is what will knock you for a loop. if she goes to jail again i think she'll come out in a body bag. >> are they out? we are sitting right there in my office on pins and needles. >> the fact that they have been
