10:01 am
sanctions. and historic day in tunisia. people are voting for their first directly elected president. >> and in sport, lewis hamilton is this year's formula 1 champion. season final in abu dhabi. i'll have this story coming up later, in this hour. >> we start with the breaking news coming out of afghanistan where at least 40 people have been killed at a volleyball tournament taking place there. dozens are injured. we'll get the latest from charles stratford. who is in kabul. bring us up to date. >> we just spoke for the spokesman and said the the
10:02 am
person walked in and detonated an explosive device and we're hearing that at least 45 people were killed,and around 60 injured, so far, and those casualties certainly expected, possibly those deaths expected to arise. obviously a very crowded tournament place where a lot of locals were gathered watching a game between apparently three districts of the province. obviously we're getting news as it's coming through. the story is likely to develop but a massive blow and it comes on a particularly poignant day when parliament has finally voted for these security arrangements with both nato and the u.s. >> has anybody claimed responsibility yet? >> there has been no claim of responsibility yet.
10:03 am
but all evidence would suggest that this stage it has been a taliban attack. this area has been hit before. and it comes at a time when taliban attacks seem to be on the rise, certainly there have been three large attacks in the last couple of weeks, the large one in kabul on a compound where foreigners live. so this comments at a particularly tricky time here as we see these foreign trips beginning to withdraw. government here trying to deal with that. >> okay charles thank you for that, charles stratford our correspondent where he will keep us up to date. international officials are trying to arrive a at an agreemt
10:04 am
with iran in vienna, u.s., germany, france, russia, add to that the iran representative is a foreign minister, mohamed ja javad sharif. possibility of extending the deadline. live to vienna and talk to our correspondent jonah hull. we're still lookin looking at bs between the sides. what are the gaps? >> significant gaps we are told by john kerry and other members of the delegation, particularly by powm speaking on thi presiden
10:05 am
this week. the extent to which iran will maintain an ability to enrich uranium on its soil, iran wants to be able to do that. the p-5 plus one want it to limit its extent to enrich uranium and sanctions, the speed with which sanctions will be lifted. the united states is holding back on that. these are the gaps. they are clearly working to bridge them in the face of all of this. of course comments made anonymously by members of the iranian delegation to the media that there isn't a time for a final deal here and an extension may be discussed. that may or may not be the case. but there is all of monday still to come and the long hours of monday night as well. all the principal decision makers will shortly be in vienna. i think it would be unwise to
10:06 am
rule anything out. >> we are always murkily informed by the players in theeks talks over ththesetalks . now we know that the russian foreign minister, sergey lavrov is intern the fray. what kind of aspects might that have? >> well it was always going to be case that at the end of these talks or towards the end of these talks when it came down to crunch time the ministers would need to converge, they would all need to be here because they come armed with the instructions of their leaders as it were and they come here with their countries' final positions. the arrival of sergey lavrov and the other ministers isn't in and of itself a surprise, final decisions must be made whether to reach a deal or extend. russia is a crucial component to
10:07 am
all of this because potentially one of the options on the table is to send iran's enriched uranium so russian can turn it into energy rods to turn into l civilian nuclear needs. there would be a potential solution there. as you said we aren't being briefed. we don't know how far along they are on those proposals. they are one of many. >> they always try to manage our expectations. on the one hand they offer us a glimmer of hope, saying how positive things are going and then on the other hand, they say things like there are significant gaps between us. if indeed they don't reach this comprehensive settlement which is what the ultimate aim is what are their options? >> the option is an immediate extension of the talks over the
10:08 am
next couple of days by themselves, day or two, few more hours, just to reach the framework deal which we understand is only option in town at this moment. a final comprehensive deal is we're told again repeatedly by many sources no longer doable in this time frame. or they may decide to extend this accession for another couple of months, perhaps six months and carry on the interim deal reached in geneva, which has effectively halted advancement of the program. extend that for another six months carry on talking and come back at a future day. there are a number of options within those parameters. but i think the preference for both sides will be to try and nail something down now. >> all right jonah, thank you very much for taking us through all of that. jonah hull our correspondent at those tawng talks in vienna. the israeli prime minister
10:09 am
benjamin netanyahu has had his say on those talks. he says no deal on iran is better than a bad deal on its nuclear program. >> translator: there's no reason for it to retain thousands of centrifuges which would allow it to enrich uranium. nor is there any reason for iran to continue developing intercontinue.negligible missiles, capable of carrying war heads. preferable to be no deal rather than a bad deal, endangering israel, the middle east and all of humanity. >> as you have been told, russia is a big deal in these talks. but is itself under huge pressure for its alleged activities in ukraine. separatists in the east of ukraine and its a annexation of the region of crimea.
10:10 am
we understand the fatality of an iron curtain for us. we will not go down this path in any case and no one will build a wall around us. that's impossible. and then he added on, on falling oil price which are affecting of course one of its main exports he said, the price of energy is lowered on purpose, also hits those who introduce those limits. and he went on to say, if far from certain that sanctions a sharp fall in the oil price and odepreciation odepreciation of o such thing will happen he said. with more now on the impact of sanctions on the economy, we can talk to yan randolph. yan, i'm just wondering whether president putin always bullishness because he sounds
10:11 am
pretty confident and defiant whether his bullishness is actually justified. i'm afraid we don't have yan ran randolph the economist. i'm told we do have him. yan randolph can you tel hear m? >> can i hear you loud and clear. >> what do you think of the comments coming from the kremlin, president putin sounding incredibly bull beneficiary the state of their economy and whether they can weather the existing sanctions. >> i think the facts tell a different story. russia is under sanctions from multiple quarters. fleeing investment, and it's attempt to pivot east to china and asia, i mean that's going to take decades. the fact is russia's destiny is with europe. it does most of its trade with
10:12 am
europe, dependent on europe for finance, for markets, for technology. it's not going to be easy to pivot anywhere else. so they are under pressure. >> can we break that down a little bit and festival look at the price of oil, it's plummeted very recently, having a massive effect on so many countries that are dependent on its oil and gas exports. how dependent is russia on its exports of oil and gas? >> very. it's unreformed economy, highly debt. -- highl highly dependent. russia was one of the highest hit economies as the oil price he fell. we're seeing that again. half the government budget is dependent on taxes from oil and gas one way or the other. the falling oil price is probably the biggest sanction there is. it's going to hurt.
10:13 am
the budget assumes $100 a barrel for the price of oil for the next three years. it's now closer to $80. so there's going to be an additional squeeze. >> and with the current western sanctions it's not just a matter is it of denying the russian elite of french cheese and fine italian wine is it? >> no, it's much more than that. i think the myth of sanctions and the possible ramping of sanction he up further has already scared off a lot of foreign investors. money has fled. even russian money is fleeing russia and that all mean downward pressure on foreign exchange reserves. liking up interest rates to halt the fall, over 100 billion lost in one year. it is huge pressure. inflation is going up. there is very little the central bank can do and economy is on the slide. we're forecasting a contraction
10:14 am
next year as foreign sanctions start to bites. >> yan randolph, thank you for talking to us. still to come on this news hour, the u.s. plans to spend millions on trm campaign against i.s.i.l. but will it work. coming up in sport, roger federer, leads in the davis cup. all right let's go to tunisia now where people are choosing a president for the first time since the revolution three years ago. turnout so far is 40%. there are 22 candidates to choose from. but two have really emerged as the front runners.
10:15 am
nazanin mushiri has more. >> most remember a life in a state where political opposition or freedom of speech were not tolerated. that is why for some this is the first time they've ever voted in a presidential election. how are you feeling right now? >> very excited. very excited and highly optimistic about the future. >> spent years in politics but he's managed to distance himself from the country's authoritarian past. >> me i believe in the tunisian people. >> there are fears that if it also takes the presidency there will be a concentration of power in the on hands of one man.
10:16 am
>> we need a strong leader and not to be have someone and people who throw you behind. >> the current president marzuki also has a chance for victory. some people think he has the backing of anafta, the second biggest party in the country. it doesn't have a candidate running for president. and this man may end up surprising everyone. a business tycoon who appeals to some people looking for a solution to their economic problems. campaigners say at the heart of tunisia's problems is inequality. >> i believe the job opportunities for young people for women which are most affected by job opportunities inavailability, the coast regionregions and interior regif tunisia needs to be addressed. >> many are proud of what this
10:17 am
tiny country has achieved but they understand the transition to democracy isn't over yet. tunisians united to fight for freedom dignity and jobs. tunisia is politically divided but people have something they don't have before. hope for the future, of their children. nazanine meshiri, are al jazeera, teuns. tunis. >> the people of tunisia are very well aware of the historical significance of these elections because they're turning out in vast numbers it would appear. >> yes, absolutely. the day started with a low turnout then it moved on and reached 40% and i think it could even increase further because there is more time for voters to show up. now the importance of this
10:18 am
election is huge. two aspects to look at here. historically this country has never had a truly free and multicandidate presidential elections. and to give you just an idea, since the independence in the '50s up until 2011 when the tunisians resulted against general abadeen mushiri, the sham of the elections is gone. now when this election is over and there's a clear winner, then the transitional period that followed the revolution also will be over. that means tunisia will have an elected parliament, a new accusation. the political achievement of the so-called arab spring has been achieved. what they didn't achieve so far is the economic improvement and stability in this country.
10:19 am
>> there's almost a bewildering array of candidates for the people to choose from. are we expecting a runoff? >> that's what everybody here thinks will happen. and especially when you speak to analysts also monitors and politicians. they think the candidates will be a need for a second round will be held in december. now, the word, the magic word for tunisia is one of compromise and this is what everybody is aware of. because they've managed so far to avoid the chaos of other arab countries that saw revolutions toppling their leaders. now we'll have to wait and see how the new government will be formed. and this is key. because if tunis which won more seats in parliament decides to embrace and the more inclusive,
10:20 am
with the others especially another which came second then i think we will have more political stability. it is an interesting time and we'll have to wait and see how it plays out in the next few days. >> thank you very much indeed. omar al kalei. in tunis. you can get the very latest on our website, aljazeera.com. there's a special section on tunisia. can you look at all the candidates, 22 in total. but find out about all those candidates who are running in today's historic election. now to bahrain and no political party has emerged victorious in those elections. a runoff election is now due to take place on the 29th of november for currently undecided parliamentary seats. the people voted on saturday for the first time since the government cracked down on protests three years ago. the largest shia muslim party
10:21 am
boycotted the elections. now the israeli cabinet has approved a contentious bill that defines the country as the nation state of jews. the bill still needs to be passed in parliament in order for it to become law. let's talk about our correspondent. let's start with what declaring israel a state for jews. >> i can tell you manatove, as cabinet members met to debate the law, which will go to parliament, journalists who were nearby could hear very loud shouting from these cabinet ministers taking part of this, how sensitive and controversial this bill is.
10:22 am
as it turns out, seven lawmakers did not support the bill as it stands now. 14 about vote in favor of it. that's why it's going to be going to parliament. the reason it's so divisive, this language as defining israel as the home state of the jews, if it does pass and become law and is enshrined in israel's legal system, for those who do not self identify as jewish, become in their view second class citizens. that means not only palestinians, airbus, people who are christian or jews as well, if you talk to politicians who are critical of this they say that the prime minister is basically trying to score what they described as cheap points. he's sensing an election is near, trying to do whatever he can to keep his coalition partners close, coalition
10:23 am
partners largely from the right and many are seeing that the bill that the prime minister has so strongly supported is an extension of that. >> there's been another interesting development today hasn't there and that of a policeman being charged with manslaughter for the killing of a palestinian boy. >> that's right. this is very significant, because very rarely have israeli security forces ever been i indicted for the killing of palestinians. whenever a security policeman, border policeman in this case is involved in the death of a palestinian, the reason for that death is self defense. this reason is different. cctv footage, camera footage the death of the 14-year-old palestinian, during a protest some months ago. it was a lull in the protest and
10:24 am
he was shot with a live round. at least that's what investigators believe. however, there is some concern over whether or not he will actually ever see a conviction at this sage. the reason for that is that what the law or whether what the courts are trying to decide is the intent to kill. the question is not whether he killed but whether the intent was there. so we're a long way of seeing any conviction but many palestinian activists with whom we have been speaking to, although they welcome the indictment, they are a long time from seeing the conviction. >> metiez tayeb, thank you . imran khan has the latest. >> the aftermath of u.s. led strikes targeting i.s.i.l.
10:25 am
fighters in the central seat of hit. they have been pushing hard into nearby ramadi. it is controlled most of anbar province since last union genuine. iraq's prime minister, haider al-abadi. >> the airplane doesn't come here to this area. >> the kurdish fighters are not getting the support they need. they even accuse the u.s. having a certain tolerance to i.s.i.l.'s advance. >> this area is near the border of iran. it might be in the interest of the coalition forces, the reason the coalition forces did not
10:26 am
attack i.s.i.l. here. >> it now says it's planning to spend millions of dollars arming sunni tribes with ak 47s mortar rounds. in a pending document to congress it says it will do it with by and through iraq's government but iraq's prime minister is hesitant. >> the government is in doubt about the weapons given to the tribes. it is feared that thieves weapons will reach the hands of i.s.i.l. fighters. >> the u.s. and the coalition are constantly reassessing their options but the u.s. has long maintained the only way to beat i.s.i.l. fighters is by arming the sunni tribes. however, the sunni tribes have been here before. in 2006, 2007 and 2008, they were armed and they did defeat. however they were then abandoned by the americans who simply stopped the funding to them and the last government isolated
10:27 am
them which some say led to the rise of i.s.i.l. it will take some convincing that that won't happen to them again. imran khan, al jazeera, baghdad. >> we'll be talking a little bit more about the situation in iraq and the u.s. decision to arm the fighters there. but also coming up we'll have syrian refugees worried about the state of their homeland. >> just outside oxford, researchers are helping citizens to help save the pen quings. penguins. >> in sport, manny pacquaio deefnsdz his title.uao

10:32 am
body armor and kits for 5500 fighters. paying for them while the u.s. arms them. let's talk to brigadier general mark kimmet, a former official at central command. thank you for talking to us here at al jazeera. tell us how able are they to determine which sunni fighter groups to arm and which not to? because of course some sunni groups actually welcomed in i.s.i.l. and facilitated their sweep through the north of the country in particular. >> yes, unlike syria we've been working with the tribes now for the past ten plus years. i think the u.s. has a pretty good sense of which sunni forces are willing to work and fight alongside the iraqi security forces and which should be still considered on the side of i.s.i.l. >> and looking at that shopping list that we've just read out, with the rocket propelled gren
10:33 am
easdand the bodygrenades and so? >> this is 1.5% of that overall request. the vast majority of the money is going to be iraqi security forces, proper, and the peshmerga. a very small percentage of that money is going to the sunni tribal or the iraqi tribal forces, that will be working alongside the iraqi security forces in l primarily the western forces. are. >> how does baghdad feel about this? any other weaponnization of the people of iraq could end up back firing for leadership in baghdad. >> i think that's a good question. it's clear that the relatively paltry sums that are being given to the tribal forces relative to that of the peshmerga and the
10:34 am
iraqi security forces is in recognition that there are some concerns still being expressed by the central government as to the loyalty and allegiance of these forces. my suspicion is that if the tribal security forces under the central control of the baghdad government threw themselves on the -- prove themselves on the battlefield will get much more in the future if they remain a little but also expand in size. >> mark kimmet thank you very much indeed for talking to us at al jazeera. the powerful city of marib, plant supplies power to the capital sanaa and to many of the surrounding provinces. oil and gas rich province of marib, the sign of increasing sectarian violence.

predominantly high incident area. expanding to control most of yemen, for them defending mareb is meter of life or death. >> we receive no backing from the government. each fighter has to patrol the units operating nonstop. sending us foot from time to time. >> the government has pleaded for calm. asking to settle their differences through dialogue. but the threat of war looms large in this desert province. the houthis are deploying hundreds of fighters to the area. they say their presence is crucial to prevent al qaeda from seizing vital oil and gas installations in the province. >> al jazeera cons to demand the release of our journalists held
