>> announcer: this is al jazeera. hello there, welcome to the newshour. i'm nick clark from our headquarters in doha. ahead - u.s. secretary of state john kerry heads to vienna as the clock ticks down on talks over iran's nuclear programme. almost 1,000 people have been killed in ukraine since a ceasefire was introduced in september the family of two palestinians who attacked a jerusalem synagogue are told by police their homes will be demolished. >> and i'll have the latest

sports, included formula 1 ferrari announces a shake up as fernando alonzo is replaced by sebastien vettel secretary of state john kerry announced he's flying to vienna to help faltering talks on the nuclear program. iran has to reach a deal before monday. john kerry is hopeful. >> we believe, all of us, that if you have a peaceful nuclear programme, it really isn't that hard, technically. to be able to prove that it is peaceful. our hope is that we'll be able to close the gaps, move forward, work with technical experts and teams and see whether or not in the next days we cap move closer to -- can move closer to or

achieve a sense of how we close the agreement. >> that's john kerry. with four days left, experts say the talks are at a crucial point. iran and six world powers - united states, britain, france, china, russia and germany - began the talks in austria's capital, and the key sticking point, the scale of enrichment, and the timetable - iran denied it's producing record-breaking iranian. they halted in exchange for onneesian easing on sanctions. after failing to agree, they extended to 24 november. we go to james bays in new york. what hope is there that a deal will be reached by the deadline

on monday? >> it will be difficult. it was always going to be extremely difficult. as you get closer, four days out now, this is when you deal with the really difficult sticking poison. some of those becoming evident right now to development in the last couple of hours. one, the i.a.e.a., the international monitoring group, saying that iran has not fully complied. the i.a.e.a. process are separate. it effect iran's credibility that the i.a.e.a. says it doesn't have all the information that it wanted on iran's nuclear programme by the deadline that it set back in may. the other bit of news you talked about uranium enrichment. this concerns other routes to the nuclear bomb, plutonium, and iran coming out of train -- tehran, saying there's no room

for negotiation, and the iraq heavy water reactor, saying that they have given all the ground they were going to give. there was always going to be problems, they'd be always more exposed in the last few days before the deadline for a deal. the british foreign secretary a couple of days ago felt they might not make it by the 24th, they may need a short extension of a couple of days. comment in the last hour from the u.s. secretary-general ban ki-moon, a statement as secretary of state john kerry arrives in vienna, urging all sides to show flexibility, wisdom and determination. >> is there a thought that iran is focussing on these negotiations rather than the long haul discussions with the i.a.e.a. >> yes. the i.a.e.a. director-general hadn't done what the i.a.e.a.

experts, because all the experts needed to talk to them are in another part of geneva involved in these talks much it's the same people that are involved. so in some ways that disagreement with the i.a.e.a. may not be as serious as it souped. but make no mistake. even though iran and the international community, there's five members of the security council, the so-called p5+1, are closer than ever to a nuclear deal, there are stumbling blocks, and the nest few days -- next few days will be crucial. >> james bays in new york turkey's prime minister arrived for talks over the i.s.i.l. threats. they are due to meet with iraq's president and senior kurdish officials almost 1,000 people have

been killed in fighting in ukraine since a ceasefire was agreed with pro-russian separatists in september. a human right group reports 957 people decide. died. that's an average of 13 each day. the death toll since fighting began in april stands at 4,317. let's speak to harry fawcett in donetsk, and the east of ukraine. an average of 13 people a day - so much for the ceasefire. >> well, that's right, it's not a huge surprise, i think, for anyone on the ground. certainly not those who have been fighting in the is rated pockets of this conflict. that have carried on in an attritional way since the ceasefire was signed. we were in the city of mariupol at that time on the south coast. a few hours into the ceasefire, there was a substantial artillery strike on the eastern checkpoint, ukranian eastern

checkpoint in that area. since then it's carried on in the same way. perhaps not so much there, but here in donetsk. around the airport there has been daily shelling. it's a little quieter at the moment that in the last couple of days that in recent times. certainly there has been this continual fight for the airport in donetsk, and there has been contacts at other places as well. it's a ceasefire that has been holding, because the two sides in then't flict needed to hold. with the ukranian side saying russian troops have come over the border into eastern ukraine, saying that the ukrainians are ready for all-out war if necessary, there's a fear it could breakdown in a wide scale. >> you mention na you've been to mariupol. tell us about that. it's very important strategically, isn't it? >> it is. that is one of the areas that

the ukranian side has been buttressing in terms of reinforcements in recent weeks. it's an important place. both sides see it as a key area. support, it's an area where a lot of steel is made, and importantly, it is a potential land corridor through which the now russian controlled crimea can be resupplied and connected to a pro-russian part of ukraine. >> we were talking to people, they don't feel they were under any threat than they were throughout the conflict. there's a feeling amongst some people that we subpoenaing to, that they want a peaceful existence, and they are not too worried, some, at least, as to who is in patrol. we spoke to a volunteer force on the side of the ukranian forces.

they say they don't expect anything in the next few days. their commander, they said, told them they expect a full-on assault next spring, once the winter is over. there is pressure at the same time to supply crimea, which could be cut off by ukraine in terms of energy, if it wanted to do so. there's a motivation at least in place for pro-russian forces to take the city, if fighting flares up more wide by once again. >> harry fawcett, thank you, from donetsk a swedish court rejected an appeal to drop an arrest warrant to wikipedia founder julian assange. an appeals court upheld a decision saying there's no reason to it dismiss the order because it can't be enforced at the moment. julian assange claimed asylum at the ecuadorian embassy in london, and denies the allegations human rights watch asked the government in yemen to

investigate suspected rights violations committed by houthi rebels and the army. the group accused both sides of targetting civilians in arbitrary detentions. hashem ahelbarra has this report. >> reporter: this is a human right activist. her brother was killed in fighting between the houthis and the army in september. >> translation: my brother was walking on the street when a rocket hit the area. he was killed on the spot. then the houthis stormed a military base where my father was based. he was detained for days, and released. >> this is one of many yemenis calling for an investigation into suspected atrocities committed by the houthis and the army. this is a member of the houthi revolutionary committee. a body that took over government buildings, where the shi'ite group captured the capital. it denies his group was involved

in doing anything wrong. >> there was a military confrontation in senna. it launched a surgical operation. it targeted al qaeda, and radical elements. it was controlled by fighters. when they opened fire, they had to react and storm the building. that's it. the houthis accused security forces of killing dozens of civilians during anti-government protests. but on the ground there is widespread discontent over what is described as a houthi clampdown on freedoms. this is a student demonstration in the capital. protesters said they were expelled by the houthis when they took over the university's building. most come from other regions, now they have nowhere to go. yemen has been hit by a number of politically motivated

murders. this was a senior member of the sunni party. he was killed in a car bomb in the central city. there has been no claim of responsibility, as with the growing political divide, people are worried about more violence and killings. the government hasn't said whether it will launch an investigation. >> the army. at the same time the houthis insist their fight was an act al jazeera continues to demand the release of our three journalists gaoled in egypt for 327 days. mohamed fadel fahmy are falsely a -- peter greste, mohamed fadel fahmy and baher mohamed are falsely accused of helping the outlawed muslim brotherhood. they are appealing against their convictionsment more to come on the al jazeera newshour. including america's undocumented. how millions of immigrants could

be saved from deportation by president obama live in nigeria, where politicians have been locked out of parliament and campaigning for next year's election. it's getting heated sport with farah. golf's highest ranked player shows his class at the end of season event in dubai. a long way from dubai. a snow storm hit part of new york state. it's not over yet. a year's worth of snow is expected to fall over the next three days. the blizzard killed seven people in the north-east of the united states. gerald tan has the latest. >> a massive storm batters new york state. for buffalo, the weather is breaking records. >> this is the worst i have

seen. it's beside. >> i ain't going anywhere. >> some areas received almost 170 centimetres of snow on wednesday, the same day when temperatures dipped to freezing or below, in 50 u.s. states. the unseasonable snowfall paralysed transport, trapping people in cars and homes. the national guard has been deployed to help, and a state of emergency is in effect for several counties in new york. >> when we say stay home, say home. going out on the roads is dangerous. it's unnecessary. you are not going to get anywhere. you will get stuck and you will further complicate the situation. >> meteorologist are are forecasting another storm for thursday. all in all, a year's worth of snow is expected this week alone, and winter is officially

still a month away. a general strike is about to get under way in mexico in protest marches across the country. it's part of an ongoing campaign against violence and corruption, the protest began in relation to to the disappearance of 43 students in guerra state. we'll cross to rob reynolds. there's a two-pronged approach to the protests. >> well, nick, the protests are - i guess you say the proximate cause is outrage over the fate of the 43 missing students who were presumed to be dead by the government, but beyond that there's a sense among mexican citizens of all classes and stripes, that the country simply can't go on any more like this, with this complete corruption and impunity. no one is held to act for

criminal acts of this kind. there has been, you know, tens and scores of thousands of people killed in the drug wars over the past decade or so, and people are simply signalling that they have had enough. this cannot go on. the term general strike in mexico is different to what you might expect in a place like france or bangladesh. the city is not shut down. shops are open, it's more of a symbolic strike, probably a student at the university will leave their classes and so forth. in germ, the city is more or less normal. later there'll be marches, and at this moment students are gathering to block the approaches to the international airport outside the city. things are already beginning to kick off here in mexico city. >> and what kind of numbers are we expecting. how large is the march expected to be. >> certainly tens of thousands,

possibly more, we don't know at this stage, and as you mentioned, there'll be protests around mexico, but not only around mexico, but many cities in the united states, with a large population like miami, texas, cities in california, and, indeed, across europe as well. in germany, spain, france, there'll be marches in solidarity. >> is it there an anticipation that there may be violence? >> that is a possibility, and if you look at past protests, there has been scattered outbreaks - not of deadly violence, but more in the way of arson and vandalism. and notably when protesters burnt the door on the national palace in the center of mexico city. so that is carried out in part by small groups not associated with the main body of marchers

and protesters, the mexican police say they'll have only traffic officers along the route of the march. it's likely that they will have some plain clothed police me monitoring things to make sure things don't get out of hand. it will go down the main avenue of mexico, a main boulevard, and then end in the heart, the symbolic heart of the nation in the center of ancient mexico city. >> back with you as the day develops. thank you very much in a highly anticipated speech later on thursday the u.s. president obama is expected to unveil new steps to protect undocumented immigrants. 11 million people live illegally in the united states. half of those could be spared from deportation, and they include those who have lived in the country for more than five years, and those who arrived as children.

millions of undocumented immigrants in the united states work, pay taxes and have children who are american citizens, but they worry about the possibility of deportationful we spoke to one -- deportation. we spoke to an undocumented worker who shares her story. >> my husband, son and i came to this country in 1996. i have a 19-year-old now. he attends college. i have two little ones, ryan, six-year-old, jimmy, eight years old. and my husband and i have been working very hard for this county, throughout this 18 years. we are doing everything possible that can be done for us to contribute to our family, cleaning houses, working as cashier, medical assistance, volunteering in the school, you name it. my husband works in a factory. i'm doing volunteering work, and i clean houses. and also looking for a job right

now, but - because i don't have a social security number, this is for me. ever since i can remember. we've been paying taxes. i am afraid of being deported because we have seen it where my little ones classmates. they come to me crying "my mama is not home any more." so when they tell me this, i know that this will happen to me. that is my fear every day when i take them to school. i know it could be the last day i see them. it breaks my heart because my kids are my life. even though they are american citizens, they have no protection whatsoever. they most valuable thing is my

family. to be able to keep my kids with me. and not to be separated never, ever. mr president obama has the power to give an executive order for people like myself, families like us, families who have contributed so much to this great nation. if we get here, that would change hour lives. i would have everything i possibly could for my family, i wouldn't be afraid to be deported any day. i have the opportunity to raise my kids. >> the story of isabelle an undocumented worker two mps locked out of parliament by police. there were angry screens as some tried to climb a gate to get

inside. we go live to abuja. what has been happening? >> very motive efforts over the past few hours, different narratives, depending on who you talk to. the house speakers camp says when he arrived at the parliament building this morning, alongside a group of opposition mps, he was prevented by the police were entering, scuffles ensued. some had to scale the walls of the building to force their way in. i spoke to a spokesperson. nigerian police to figure out what happened. he defended the conduct of the police, saying it was incumbent on them to maintain law and order, and accused the speaker of trying to force his way into the building - he described the behaviour as a disorderly conduct, they pushed through barricades, assaulting police officers.

the background of all of this is the house speaker in question defected from the ruling party to the opposition. as soon as he did that, the nigerian police stripped him of his government-issued security detail. that angered the opposition here who said he is still the parliament speaker, despite switching sides. he's the fourth top politician in this country. this morning's episode will undoubtedly further inflame the tension between the opposition and the ruling party as they campaign ahead of the election next year. >> reporter: nigeria's opposition took no time in taking a swipe at the go. . >> what do you want? >> in its first rally, jonathan goodluck's administration was accused of capitalizing on boko haram's violence. >> we are unhappy about the situation in the north-east of this country. where we now have reason to conclude that lives have been

sacrificed just for political aims the radical groups have been concentrated while they've been viewed as strong holds. areas at the heart of the strike, as the opposition seeks to reverse the dominance of the party, and power since civilian rule was installed. >> unlike the ruling party, the opposition does not have a favoured candidatiest. there's a number of contenders. they have until the primaries in september to make a final deegs, the ruling party appears to now have an advantage. in a gathering dubbed the rally of all rallies, jonathan goodluck declared he will seek a second term. his administration has been undermined by boko haram's ruthless campaign. the highlight of which has been the kidnapping of more than 200 schoolgirls in captivity

seven months later. >> it's easier to blame someone, but you need to go back and look at who created the situation. who allowed the situation by commission or mission. we'll get facts out to the public. >> political infighting is on the mind of people. this man barely able to support himself and siblings says he worried about security before and after the vote. >> when the politicians fight, it affects us. it is us that is affected mostly. they don't know. >> campaigning takes place. sliding prices are set to affect the economy. despite being the largest corruption and unemployment remains ahead of the issues. adding to the nigerian vote

since military rule ended 15 years ago. this means that the parliamentary section has been cancel. what is the knock on effect of that? >> well, the whole reason parliament was convening today was to discuss the government's request to extend the state of emergency in the three north-eastern states that continue to be plagued by boko haram violence. the house was in recess, and they interrupted the recess. they were not supposed to come back until september 3rd. it's a constitutional requirement that the house and the senate approve the government request extend the state of emergency which has been going on for 18 months. the senate president cancelled access to the shut done. until the violence this morning, it meant that the vote did not take place, and the nigerian

military continued the presence and the state of emergency in the north-east without the constitutional cover. >> thank you very much indeed. the international community demanded that the army stay out of politics in burkina faso. critics say it's a transition to civilian rule in name only. this report from the capital. >> reporter: the day started with a lot of people speculating that a man, a soldier, will not return to the barracks soon. >> translation: today, according to some forces, lieutenant kel nel isaac zida will be named prime minister. >> reporter: a few hours later the announcement is made. >> mr isaac zida has been named prime minister. >> reporter: isaac zida took over as head of state at the end of last month when the former leader blaise compaore was forced out of office by

protesters. he was under pressure from the international community to step down and hand over to a civilian. he d the man who brs he did. -- he did. the man who replaced him was part of the army. >> translation: when the army slipped into the transition charter, that the prime minister can be from military or civilian, we knew it was an open door for isaac zida to come in. it was a way for him to stay in power. we wanted peace, we agreed. we are watching and are ready to go back to the street. >> reporter: army people are telling people it's political parties, electoral groups and others who unanimously agreed to make him prime minister. >> some say isaac zida is a figure head, a face of the international community. isaac zida may be the man running the country, but the army effectively is in charge.

many people wanted the one year transition period to be led by civilians. some feel betrayed. they are waiting to see how involved isaac zida will be when it comes to how the country will be run still ahead - rounding up, and blocked up. exclusive reports on the plight of malaysia's unwanted refugees. and challenging stereotypes - can this photography exhibition change the way africa is scene in sport - getting in shape. this man will need to be on his toes on sunday for the big fight on the weekend.

ceasefire was agreed. the u.n. reports says that between september 5th and november 18th, 957 people have died. the general strike is about to get underway in mexico and protests are planned across the country, all part of a campaign against violence and corruption. to myanmar. and 23 kachin rebels died during fighting with government forces. the government said the army attacked a training base near a city close to the chinese border. 15 others were wounded. they are one of the eight major ethnic groups, they live in the north. the independence army, kia, wage a war against the burmese state in 1994. the kia demanded independence, but is seeking autonomy.

thousands died and more than 100,000 civilians have been displaced. many have fled their homes and gone to malaysia. al jazeera went under cover in malaysia to see how immigrants are being deported. there's often no end to their misery when thi arrive. >> reporter: rev gees are not only -- refugees are not only unwanted in malaysia, they are hunted. in kuala lumpur, on the streets, plain-clothed police trawl for those without papers. it doesn't take long to make arrests. there's an estimated 150,000 asylum seekers in the country. once in custody they are sent to detention centers. with a hidden camera, we secretly enter a facility. everyone is handcuffed. some are even chained.

we quietly lend phones to the rohingya. they are one of the most persecuted ethnic minorities. >> we find children, violating international agreements malaysia has signed. the deputy home minister doesn't deny some refugees are mistreated. >> there must be something like this happening everywhere. we cannot avoid 100%. my assurance is generally we are doing well. >> in ma'am asia -- hall asia -- malaysia, they turn to the unhcr for help. they are issued cards. al jazeera learnt of fraud. here a man offers to sell these refugees unhcr cards. they cost $600.

his idea shows he's a translator working for the u.n. he claims a top official in the agency is behind the scam. the u.n. acknowledges that there has been fraud, but will not say if staff are involved. >> if allegations come up we will investigate. i will not confirm or deny it. >> reporter: on the streets the scam has been heard of. police are skeptical of those i.d.s. more face arrest and harassment, making life miserable for these that fled a miserable existence at home. you can see steve's investigation called "malaysia's

unwanted", on "101 east" on thursday at 2230 g.m.t. north korea may be preparing to restart the extraction of weapons grade plutonium from spent nuclear fuel rods. the main reactor has been closed for two months, longer than it usually takes for maintenance. it's feared that they may remove damaged plutonium rods for use to make weapons. police in thailand detained three stunts at the opening of the latest film in "the hunger games" saga, one holding up three fingers, symbolizing rebellion against totalitarian government. protesters adopted the gesture - which is now band a south korean court sentenced the chief executive of a company that operated the

jungle, need the port of calai [s] over the see from britain. many know that migrants dodge police. if most fail, the growing perception is that britain is swamped by unwanted immigration. but this is a new development. we drove for nearly an hour south of calais into the middle of the countryside. nowhere near a motor way or railway line. here, between farmers' fields, evidence of how far lives of refugees are sinking. these boys came from all different parts of syria, and are all alone, and barely had a piece of bread to share between them. they looked lost. >> this boy said his parents were both dead, and he'd been here for four months. >> translation: we were smuggled through turkey, i lost my

papers, no one is interested in helping us. >> iranians and afghans are here too, a tiny baby girl whose mother could barely feed her. all had gone to calai [s], and retreated to the middle of nowhere, with no idea what to do next. not to put too fine a point on it, the unaccompanied syrian teenage boys - an iranian family with a 10-month-old girl find themselves living in a ditch in northern france, because the british government doesn't want to let them in. the problem is the distinction is being lost between illegal economic migrants and the asylum seekers genuinely in need of refuge. >> people who work with refugees told us no matter how much they warn them, they see the u.k. as a source of promised land. they don't realise how much has changed politically teser suppo protesters may argue that there

are only 80 syrians in calais. despite offering humanitarian aid aid. >> it's the stigmatization. in england they don't see migrants as a source of enrichment, there's fear. >> reporter: these conditions at a disused factly look pretty good - at least because it's dry. lots of people from dar fewer, the tragedy never to be repeated. walking through a maize of the building, it's hart to see what they have to show for a dream of a better existence. >> there's no security. on the people, they try to find a suitable place to stay, and looking for the protection. >> reporter: the only conclusion you can draw is although the u.k. is making the ability to move harder and harder, people

will not stop trying to find a better life. perhaps when they sleep, the dream of nothing - which is what they have is your government spying on you - well, there's a tool to help you find out. a group of human rights and technology organizations is launching detect. spy ware scanning for programs that are often mixed. >> reporter: governments, law enforcement and intelligent agencies worldwide are's to be spying on every day computer users. there's evidence that the practice is used by some countries to target political dissidents, journalists and human rights advocates. bay rainy activist is a victim, campaigning against human rights abuses in bahrain. he endured attacks on his home, colleagues and computer in britain. >> it was devastating. when you know you have no

privacy in your life, when you feel that as if you are walking in the street without your clothes on because someone else is monitoring your movement you feel really frustrated. >> the spy ware is powerful. it can take over the user's entire system, sending emails switching on cameras and tracking a key stroke. it can be used to discredit victims and be removed without a trace. >> they say you are tweeting things that are not conforming to parliamentary. such as, for example, sending links to pornographic sites, which i never did. so - and we were serious about it. looking into it. why and how it happened. we saw it was a virus that came and did this. until i realised that it was not the case. but now victims of cyber spying

can fight back. detect is a public software tool that scans devices pecking up on spy ware, that regular antivirus programs can find. this is terrifying about the spy ware going beyond what is surveillance capabilities or interception of communications, and is it getting the information right at the source. this is really at the spokes piece of software developed to find and pinpoint traces of that spy ware used against activists. >> reporter: for now it's a battle between those intent on protecting activists online, and those creating programs to help governments stop them mike nicholls, the director behind the classic film "the graduate" has died. he was 83.

into the art. in the works, images of guns are used to convey a message from lisa zimmermann. many of the work here portrayed the richness and beauty of a people misrepresented in the art world. patrick from france presents a little-known life of pigmy women from the democratic republic of congo where he grew up. the communities are on display. getting people to come to the exhibition has been a challenge. so, too, has sponsorship. organisers of the festival are eager to develop an art of appreciation. rather than wait for the audiences to come to them, they take it to the public in places like this. >> reporter: in the process, young talents are motivated to show their work. she admits finding her feet has not been easy. >> there are some places we'll go.

they have to look at me up and down like, really, you're the photographer." that's my challenge. maybe because i'm a female. we are few. that's the challenge, that they look down on us. >> for others, the challenge is earning a living out of photography. and then there is a sense that somehow their art is inferior. >> but we want to meet up with the global challenge. it's a lot of challenge. >> reporter: changing century's-old thoughts is harder. that will take more than an section. >> all right. let's move to sport. here is farah thank you so much. there'll be a shake-up at formula 1 ferrari, sebastien vettel will replace fernando alonzo in 2015. the 4-time champion will race
