sex crimes on campus: one year later on al jazeera america >> announcer: this is al jazeera. ♪ hello from doha and this is the news hour on al jazeera. [gunfire] the battle for beijing and iraqi forces try to take back the oil refinery from isil fighters and the ferry that capsized in april is captain is jailed for gross negligence and something goes wrong and 8 women are dead and a dozen are seriously ill and two

war vets provide humanitarian help in the world's most dangerous area. ♪ and we will start with iraq where the military is trying to take back strategic terry and an islamic state and tab taliban and trying to take back the oil refinery for three days and this is the oil refinery seized during the aggressive advance in june stopping production at the facility and that significant and used to produce that much, that is about a quarter of iraq's daily supplies 300,000 barrels of crude a day and using desperate tactics to maintain control of the facility and we are in baghdad with the latest. >> reporter: well, i can tell you in the last hour iraqi forces pushed further in the town and taken over two key

buildings, the mosque and the local police station and these are important because it gives them a vantage point in the north and east of the city where isil fighters remain in large number and iraqi army are pushing forward harder than they have done before and on offensive and think they have the upper hand and certainly taking a look at the pictures that we are seeing coming out and the reports that we are getting, that is exactly what it looks like and i will bring you up to date with everything that has gone on so far. when isil fight back this is what happens. another few meters closer and our camera man would have been in the hum-v turned into a car bomb. the battle here will be decisive. >> translator: we are now at the central neighborhoods of the city here and these parts of the city are adjacent to the so called check point which is

considered in turn to be strategically valuable because it controls the supporting lifeline of isil stretching from the city to dekrete city and we managed to cut their supporting lifeline. >> reporter: this is in stark contrast to how deadly isil fighters can be. this is how the reality of the city center is and iraqs and isil fighters are not at a stalemate but it's close and they are using tactics including suicide bombers, car bombers and snipers and we have seen these tactics before and isil rarely surrender because it's a fight to the death and the city is strategically important and will hold on to it and the fight will be much tougher than where the isil gave up the territory easy because it was on the border of

places they control but this is central to them and they are going to want to hold on to it. the oil refinery is 15 kilometers from here and partly controlled by isil and partly by iraqi forces just like the city themselves, taking them both back could be the iraq's toughest fight yet. if it is retaken by the iraqi army what actually happens, does that mean that isil is on the back foot? >> that means they are on the back foot in that particular area and i was just speaking before we came live on camera to a former u.s. military officer who told me it looks like the iraqis are fighting and looks like they are fighting because of the coalition air strikes and given them renewed to take the fight to isil which is a criticism of the army and staying in the basis and what happens if they take the oil refinery they take back a big revenue earner and find out how

much isil fighters have stolen and they cutoff the supply line to dekrete and back to the anbar providence and isil controls large parts of the area but we notice a difference in the tactics and noticed it last week and on al jazeera and they notice the iraqi army going out to fight isil and telling people involved in the coalition a lot of help. >> thank you for that and live on the news hour. and another note from iraq the airforce there dropped humanitarian aid to the people on mount zinja and isil fighters advanced on the mountain in october leaving thousands stranded and u.n. accused of them attempting genocide with

the community and in syria they launched two strikes on isil fighters around kobani and targeted the village under isil control and kurdish fighters advanced to south of the town after the strikes. with syria the president is considering a u.n. proposal to end fighting in parts of the country and they are close to losing strongholds in aleppo and a blow to moderate opposition fighting the forces and u.n. stephan-mistura has part of this in his visit and more on that. >> reporter: this is about recapturing supply lines and syria rebels need to win this battle to hold on to the neighborhoods they control in aleppo and over weeks the syrian troops closed in on the main roads that link the city to turkey.

[gunfire] they have the rebel-held east of aleppo surrounded. >> translator: they are advantaging and aleppo under siege and could be fall and could be catastrophic and iraq and lavonte is on the other sides. >> reporter: aleppo a battleground for more than two years and resent months the government targeted opposition areas with near daily barrel bombs and people are complaining about rise in gasoline and other goods and 300,000 people remain in rebel areas. >> translator: there are many reasons why the regime was able to advance in aleppo and it has more weapons, they are using malitia recruited from abroad and rebels turned their guns on each other and has weakened us and this situation is dangerous. >> reporter: rebels belonging to the so called opposition like islamic front like the government are at war with islamic state in iraq and

lavonte and isil controls the entry points to aleppo. >> the rebels losing ground and not just to the military but isil as well and as of late facing a new challenge the al-qaeda al-nusra over ran the areas in the northwestern providence. losing aleppo would weaken them further and the city is the last stronghold of moderates in the united states in the opposition controlled north, in beirut. >> reporter: a court in south korea handed down a verdict for captain and crew of the sea ferry that sank in april, the captain sentenced to 36 years in prison but the court acquitted him of murder and said he was guilty of negligence. the ferry carrying hundreds of school children when it capsized off the southern coast and more than 300 people killed and most teenagers and they were seeking the death sentence and planning

to appeal against the verdict and family members killed in the disaster are not happy with the court's verdict either. >> translator: i gnash my teeth saying they are governed by law and this is the up most they can do. >> translator: we all prayed for the death penalty and wanted the crew members to suffer as much as our children did. >> reporter: more from rob mcbride who was at the court when the verdict was handed down. a sense of surprise at judgment and dismay among the relatives at what they see is the leniency of the sentences, in particular when it comes to the treatment of the skipper who was observed leaving and being rescued from the ferry and one of the first to get off the ferry as most of the passengers were below decks and many of them being told to stay there and most of them being children. he was not found guilty of homicide and for many of the

relatives that is unbelievable and found guilty only of negligence and given 36 years and the chief engineer was found guilty of murder for apparently abandoning some injured crew mates given 30 years. for the rest of the crew who are on trial 30 members in all given custodial sentences of 5-20 years and as far as the relatives are concerned was just too lenient, nobody given the death penalty which is symbolic here but for the relatives it would have been an important symbol, one relative leaving the courthouse said that the legal system had failed the victims and he apologized to the memories of the children, saying although the legal system had failed, he would ensure that the investigation which is about to get underway would not fail them and it would discover what caused this tragedy. also on trial here in this court case has been the safety standards generally in south korea. this case has shaken the

country, and it's true to say it has shaken confidence in the government here and a number of pieces of legislation have been put in place. reorganizing and search and rescue organizations for example and also more importantly paving the way for this full investigation which will now be conducted into exactly what caused this tragedy. as the crewmen here begin their long-terms in prison so south korea begins a long-term of inter-spection and investigation. people had sterilization surgery and the program has been used to control the country's population and we will go to new deli and talk about the program itself because that is quite interesting in itself but first the latest on the condition of the women. >> well, the latest is the 30 that have been survived, that were treated.

they are still in critical condition in hospitals. now, they are a part of 83 women who took part of this family planning health camp on saturday. now, these surgeries though were allegedly done in a five-hour period and the women did these surgeries, being told it would help them, it would be safe and were given a $22 as an incentive. but the accusation, five hours for 83 sterilization surgeries says this was done for government target numbers and three medical officers suspended and the chief officer said a three-member probe is launched to investigate but the government will not take any responsibility until the results of a post mortem are released. >> it's quite fascinating and extraordinary to hear you using words like target numbers and the fact that this is a government initiative. can you tell us how about it and explain for our international audience why this is happening? >> right, it does sound very

callus but the issue is that family planning is very common in india. the government programs are anything from handing out contraceptives to sterilizing men and women and the government says it's necessary especially in rural and poor areas where the population is growing rapidly, the india growth rate is 1.2% and for a billion people that is like adding an extra new york city or london to india's population every year and steps like sterilization the country says is necessary because india in the next 15 years population wise is set to overtake china. >> thank you for that, the latest news and contact in new deli. still ahead on al jazeera dozens of students killed in nigeria on an attack on a school and the latest on that. keeping the fame alive and justice for the victims of suspected political killings and

defense of the title and number one ranking in london and joe has that a little bit later still to come. ♪ protestser, erupted in mexico in alcapolco and the disappearance is a rallying point for mexicans demanding an end to drug violence and government corruption. the russian president vladimir putin wants to speed this up and a dutch team returns to the site where the plane went down by rebel-held territory over eastern ukraine in july but people have been unable to access the site and want to

start salvaging the wreckage. and we have more in the east of ukraine. >> reporter: the dutch experts together with the ece finally arrived at the crash site this morning after some hours of delay. they are here by the cockpit at the moment trying to gather some evidence and wreckage in order to send back to the netherlands for expertise and trying to complete the investigation into the crash. but it has been very difficult for the experts to work in this area as fighting has been going on for months and even today we saw a military convoy moving in the direction of donetsk armed with some light artillery and trucks and grade missile launchers and hopefully this will be possible for them to collect the evidence they need but the situation here still

remains rather tense. >> we will talk weather with stef and it is getting cold apparently in the united states. >> already got cold for us and really is chilly and looking at the satellite picture this is the bright white area of clouds sinking south and part of that is cloud and part of it is the satellite miss interpreting the cold weather as cloud and shows how cold it is then and we have some pictures showing some of the snowstorms that we have been seeing, some places have reported over 30 centimeters of snow just in 24 hours and of course this is really quite early in the season to see such a large amount of snow. now over the next couple of days it is still going to stay bitterly cold for many of us not only in the states and also in canada as well. and calvary has a top temperature just minus 12, that is extremely cold and you can see the dark blue colors on the temperature chart showing where the coldest weather is and that is digging all the way to denver

and denver minus six there today and heading into wednesday minus 11 will be our maximum temperature. to the east it's turning colder for some of us here and mild at the moment in the southeast and don't worry that will change as it pushes eastward and for many of us although it is going to be cold it's going to be dry, not for all of us, around the great lakes we will see a lot more in the way of wintry weather and plenty more snow. >> i was wearing a jacket this morning because it was 25 this morning. good luck jonathan will announce reelection as nigerian president and the announcement due to be announced in abuja, mother of rallies and days after people were killed in boko haram in a school in northeast nigeria and people gathered for assembly at the technical science college when an explosion ripped through

the school hall. let's go live in legos and a couple things we can talk about and good luck jonathan and tell us what is expected today. >> reporter: good luck jonathan is expected to arrive on the rally ground shortly after later after speaking with officials and supporters, he is expected to make an announcement and he is definitely running in the 2015 elections in february and that will be official. >> one might be tempted to say good luck to him as well because of what nigeria has been through with the fight of boko haram i wonder how his popularity is and how people think of him as a leader. >> well, across the board people think jonathan has to some extent failed to bring boko haram under control despite the

good will of the people and despite resources at his disposal and people have spoken to wonder how nigeria could sort of bring rebels under control in different countries during the peace keeping especially liberia and sierra leone and in the key operations and yet it cannot bring boko haram under control in this country. a lot of people are disgruntled and disappointed that he has yet to bring this insurgency as they call it in the north under control as we speak. the other issue that has sort of been overcome or overshadowed by the boko haram crisis or security in the north of the country is the issue of corruption. a lot of people complaining cases of corruption on the rise in the country but the president is saying they are doing all it can to bring it under control but they have been continuing and the president has taken a hit because of that as well. >> we will wait for that

official announcement from good luck jonathan a little later and thank you for that. and funeral and heads of state across africa attending and some arriving early to see sata lying in state, the 77-year-old leader died last week this a london hospital while undergoing treatment for an undisclosed illness. politicians are still trying to put together a new government. president resigned and fled the country after days of mass to test and under his rule there were hundreds of killings and want justice and, malcolm web has the story. >> reporter: the body of his friend was found in may and it's a short drive from the capitol and his friend was a constitutional court judge. the constitution was a

contentious issue under the rule of the president and he wanted to remove term limits and extend his 27 year rule. >> translator: at this stage i cannot say who killed him but this was not an accident. this was a murder and we know the context, while he was not publically showing position his close friends including me knew he was against changing the constitution. >> reporter: in the newspaper which reported the death he was in turn blamed by it for the paper and the press was relatively free. there were elections and active opposition but activists say a series of political killings created a back drop of fear. and he reported them over the years and say more than 100 people were assassinated by regime before he resigned and fled on the 31st of october. >> translator: seeing from outside and western countries it could appear like a democracy

but it wasn't and opposition was weak and he was taking care of that by threatening and bribing people. >> reporter: during his rule he was a close ally of the u.s. and france and now with some of his aids in exile in neighboring countries and we were not able to contact them for comment. but political killings have been a hot topic for years and the journalist named after a famous reporter who was killed in 1998. and he was investigating corruption and alleged torture and killing of the president's brothers driver and found dead in his car with three friends and vehicle and bodies been torched and out cry and demonstrations and people campaigning for justice and people running the center say they will keep the lamp burning until the killers are brought to book. the wheels of justice turn slowly if at all and at the high court cases on the murder were open but then charges were dropped and people wonder if justice will be possible the old

spread is having an impact on their business. so much that they didn't want to talk about it on camera. but community outreach worker has been hearing it firsthand. >> people don't want for go to the stores which means that there is no income coming in. it's really hard for them. >> reporter: and so african immigrants are doing what they can to fight the disease abroad and the stigma here at home. kristen with al jazeera, new york. >> on the subject of ebola diplomatic editor have been speaking to u.n. response mission about the outbreak. >> reporter: the facts of the ground say no one is complacent and seeing increased in liberia and like sierra leone, like guinea, so we are still in a major crisis right now with ebola in west africa.

arabia and called for weapons to help sunni tribes battling isil and trying to restore unity in iraq. the trip to saudi arabia is the first since 2010 and could it help improve relations between the two? let's go live and talk to a colleague who is a senior colonist with the saudi gazette and why is this happening, is this because of isil? >> i don't think it's isil, the historical relationship with iraq has been interrupted twice. in the 90s because of the boycott of iraq after the iraqi invasion of kuwait and recently in the last eight years because of policies.

other than that we are neighbors and common things to discuss including the oil market. >> and tell us about maliki policy since you mentioned it and what divided saudi arabia and iraq there. >> policies and against the sunnis in iraq. it sees allegiance to iran and being an agent of iranian government and all these things and others have opened up the iraqi country, opened up iraq for terrorist groups and a danger for all of us. >> what are some other issues they work have to work on? i mean is i l -- isil is major and brought together countries on the same side and what else do they have to look at between saudi arabia and iraq?

>> the market is in turmoil right now and going down and that is something they need to discuss. other than that the borders, the borders with iraq are not safe for saudi arabia at the moment and the, iraq need to take control of the border and other issues like economic issues and people who are prisoners in iraq threatened by beheading and a lot of things whether it's financial or economic or just neighborly issues. >> it's about cooperation, isn't it because you mentioned there the border is unsafe and iraqis need to do more there and that perhaps needs to be collaborative thing between the two sides. >> yes, of course and iraqis also need to control their own borders. it's dangerous for them too.

and at the end of the maliki time he removed all the bust on the border to fight, to join the fight against the north and that left a vacuum, a dangerous vacuum for both of us and it's not just for them it's also for drugs, for example, and other issues that when you threaten a border that is not being guarded. >> very interesting to talk to you from the saudi gazette, thank you. and al jazeera continues to demand immediate release of journalists detained in egypt for 318 days, greste and fahmy and mohamed are falsely accused of helping the out lawed muslim brotherhood and they are calling for the release of al jazeera's

israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu promised the harsh response to the resent violence. >> translator: i have directed my government to deploy all the tools at our disposal including new laws that include demolishing of homes and other measures, we will not tolerate this kind of disturbance. >> reporter: for several weeks now there have been daily protests in occupied east jerusalem, on saturday the unrest spread to other palestinian towns after they killed a palestinian teenager who allegedly assaulted them, however, much attention over the access of the compound which houses islam's third holy site and jewish temples once stood and authorities restricted palestinian access to the mosque and far right israeli groups tried to enter the compound and led to a wave of violence from israelis and harsh crack down of israeli forces and most agree

the situation in israel and the occupied palestinian territories remains extremely tense but what is less clear is where it will lead, some are suggesting we are seeing the start of a third palestinian uprighting in fada but others are quick to dismiss the view saying the palestinian leadership does not support this at least for now, i'm with al jazeera west jerusalem. now the tripoli administration in libya is holdingly the first meeting since they declared the rival parliament to be illegal and international community recognizes the parliament based in tabrook and two parliaments and two leaders backed by powerful malitias and people loyal say they have retaken parts of benghazi and controlled by malitia and we have a report. >> reporter: this is launched from a military jet in the skies above benghazi. this is what it's like on the

streets of the city, constant bombardment, a mosque severely damaged in the neighborhood of the city. sources in benghazi told al jazeera the aircraft belongs to the rent renegade military general. in the western mountains of libya they pushed back fighters in the town. the assault on operation dignity, a campaign he launched in may to crush the various malitias in the country. and he blames them for the right in bomb ings and assassinations in libya since the revolution three years ago, hundreds of people have been killed in the violence. the division in the country is now so big there are two parliaments, one is in the capitol tripoli which is ally of the rebels and the other 1,000 kilometers away in tabrook by egypt border and this government

is recognized internationally. on thursday libya supreme court declared the tabrook parliament unconstitutional and likely to worsen in the crisis. >> translator: we draw attention of regional players to refrain from intervening in domestic affairs and warned them the consequences will be dire and the entire region will plunge into conflicts beyond their power. >> reporter: libya is operating without any real leadership and the only groups that have any kind of power are the malitias and for now it seems there is no sign of an end to the chaos and i'm peter with al jazeera. the chinese president ping's delivered closing speech at the asia summit in beijing and says the economic recovery is unstable and says apec should speed up talks of trade-in order to push trade and president barack obama among other leaders

attending and president putin today and this is following the summit and what else did she have to say in the closing address? >> well, he stressed very much his desire to get that new trading block for the asia pacific region established, a proposal china put forward but the problem is kamal the united states is offering something similar and it's a trade deal that excludes china and china has a vested interest in ensuring that its proposal is passed by the delegates and what they have begun are the first steps and talked about the lofty ideals this apec summit attained and said there was going to be an improvement in regional economic integration but mostly kamal this has been an apec all about underlining china's economic cloud. china proved it has deep pockets and offering to bank roll

infrastructure projects in neighboring countries and saying the united states can't afford to do it but we can. now earlier today president barack obama addressed a number of business executives. he said he welcomed a successful china but he wanted a china that under wrote and not under mind world order and strong words there from president obama and expressed his concern about the business environment for u.s. companies in this country, the american government has been very upset by a number of antitrust investigations carried out targeting u.s. companies and says he wants that to stop. of course there is consensus issue of cyber security. that is likely to be raised during the one on one talks with mr. obama and the president will have tomorrow to mark the official start of barack obama's visit to china. >> quickly, anything else of note you would like to tell us about from the summit?

it strikes me when the sum summit we talk about who meets who and what happens on the sidelines and those sorts of things. >> well, i think the image that will stay in the minds of many people was the picture of ping shaking hands with the prime minister, a relationship that had been frozen has now begun to thaw because to the last-minute people had no idea whether this meeting really was going to happen and today the president ping in his concluding remarks alluded to the meeting say there was now mutual trust and that is something that he hoped that the apec delegates could build on and this is an apec where china sought consensus and has got it and saw china reaching out to japan and china reaching out to the philippines and also to vietnam, all countries that it

has sovereignty disputes with at the moment. >> and we are live for us in beijing for the news hour and while we are talking china the world offered a rare glimpse of the military might, j 10 fighters have taken to the skies for the public demonstration to kickoff the biggest air show with four female pilots were doing aerial stunt and 700 exhibitors will take part in the six day air show. a record number of people gathered in australia capitol to remember the country's war dead, nearly 4,000 people packed this memorial where former prime minister john howard delivered the address and 102,000 australians have died in battle, those at the service paused for a minute of silence to remember them. on november 11 is veteran day in many countries and a day to honor those who served their country, for some military vets

that is not enough and rob reynolds reports on former soldiers who are helping people struck by natural disaster. >> reporter: in january 2010 a devastating earthquake struck hatety killing 10s of thousands of people, two u.s. vets of the wars in iraq and afghanistan spontaneously decided to gather a small group of former military service people to go to haiti and help. from that small beginning emerged a veteran's volunteer organization, team rubican and now with 20,000 members they respond to emergencies ranging from typhoon in the philippines to tornados that ripped through oklahoma and wildfires that scorched towns in the american west. >> so we have 2.6 million vets from the conflicts in iraq and afghanistan, we have more everyday taking off the uniform and reentering civilian life and we repurpose their skills, learn

the hard way in war time. when you look at what our veterans learn, what they learn in the military, a lot more than blowing stuff up, it's leading teams, it's solving problems under really difficult circumstances. >> reporter: it's an nimble organization and team rubican made their way to remote villages days before large groups arrived and the first team rubican took him to oklahoma after a tornado struck. >> my first day i realized this is what i have been missing in my life was a sense of mission, purpose, team, being able to help. >> reporter: and the ones who are helped are not only the victims of disaster. >> i know that this is what a big part of team rubican is all about and not just about disaster relief but about
