... this is al jazeera. ♪ >> a warm welcome from me, david foster. you are watching al jazeera news. good to have you along. these are stories we will look at in detail in the next 60 minutes. a million and a half syrian

refugees. >> said it can't afford to feed 1.7 million of them anymore. the agency says it needs $64 million for those who fled syria and are camped out in neighboring countries. kim van ill reports. >> reporter: this muddy film is home to more than a thousand people. they have escaped war and left everything behind. but the fight for survival isn't over. >> god, we are freezing to death. i don't have any blankets. a neighbor gave me a piece of foam for my baby to sleep on. another one, on which three

children sleep. here in lebanon's camp near the syrian border, there is no running water. he electricity or sewage. meals are usually provided once a day, but that could end soon, too, with the u.n. announcing it can no longer afford to feed syrian refugees. the u.n. has been providing food vouchers to refugees in jordan, lebanon, iraq and turkey. they have been serving more than $1.7 million. but now, they say the money has run out, and they will be suspended the program for december. >> the agency says it has no choice. >> we are trying our best. this is an unfortunate situation where we have to find ourselves in and unfortunately, the refugees have to face. the story is very simple, by the way. it's the lord program is unable deliver food to those people. if we cannot give them the vouchers, they will simply not eat. there is no other solution for

them. >> i have been in lebanon for one year and survived only thanks to the u.n. food vouchers. i don't get anything else. >> the world food program says more than $64 million is needed to feed syrian refugees for december, alone, warning the alternative is that families like this one could starve. kim vanell, al jazeera. >> let's join james bays live at the united nations new york. james, if you haven't got the money, you can't provide the food. how are they going to try to change that? >> the wfp have been warning about this for a long time. they warned that the money was going to run out and the money now, given that it's the first of the month, the first of december, it has run out. they now need to pry or ties and use the money they have for those that are in most desperate need, those that are out there in desperately cold weather. they need to focus on those

first, and that means for now not paying for this electronic food voucher system that was helping some 1.8 million refugees, out of now and the total keeps going up of 3.2 million refugees now in all of the neighboring countries around syria. we predicted these numbers were going to get higher. i don't think anyone could have predicted, david, three years ago that it was going to get to this scale. >> indeed, jails, thank you very much indeed, our diplomatic reporter from the united nations. nigeria's is reeling after a major attack in two state capitols. rescue workers are trying to find dead and wounded where two domes were detonated in a crowded market and soldiers are fighting gunmen who have attacked a university in damaturu. they did say before dawn. live from the nigerian capitol. i gather we are getting more

details of the number of fatalities. can you fill us in on that? >> yes. well, one witness is telling me that in that he explosion in the market, 10 people were killed and told the situation could have been a lot worse had the civilian vig atlantaes not intervened. they simply suspected a woman when she was walking in to the market, they asked her to be searched. she refused to be searched. >> that's when she detonated herself at the outskirts of the market. it helped with bringing down the number of the potential fatalities, particularly if you compare just the same market last week was targeted and more than 40 or even 50 people were killed in that attack. that's as far as the explosion is concerned. in the other town that was raided, the capitol of the state, the military is telling me that operations are ongoing

to try to apprehend those suspected boko haram fighters that raided the area earlier this morning. it's not clear what the fatalities or casualties were in that raid. all of this, of course, indicative of how boko haram wants to sends a message it's able to carry out multiple. attacks in multiple mroeblingsz at the same time. it's sending a clear message it's able to disrupt activities in major cities and those who end up paying the price, david, are the people of the northeast, more than 1.5 million people have been displaced. the government says the most vulnerable among them are those children who either lose their parents in those killing sprees or end up being separated from them. i just returned from adamaua state, one of the three most affected currently undemergency rule. here is our report. >> reporter: watching from hiding as his father and elder brother were slaughtered and his

mother and three sisters were captured. he struck out alone in the desert veering into kamaroon. >> i saw everything. i was crying, crying on the mountain. there were times i did not have food or water for up to two days. >> lost among the thousands of people displaced by boko haram's violence are hundreds of unaccompanied children. they are children are killed or separated from the children as they fled. there have been now, if any, reunions so far. >> for years, boko haram has attacked school children, pushing thousands out of school. now, as the group shifted, it includes seizing territory, many children are no longer scared even in their homes. >> there are 65 unaccompanied children, some as young as 2, at

least 700 more are scattered in other camps. they are assigned to foster mothers and provided food and some education, but local relief agencies are pleading for more help. >> children, food, and then some books and instructional materials and, if possible, curricula like books. >> the camps hold only about 2% of the actual number of displaced people. the majority seek assistance elsewhere. 16 unaccompanied children are taking refuge here at this catholic cathedral. abiga abigail, got did distracted. she got separated from her mother and four siblings. >> they don't know where i am. i don't know where they are. >> that's all i think of. >> most of the children have been dropped off here by total strangers. some are suffering from serious

trauma. >> they are challenged. we don't have professionals whom we can invite to counsel those who have been traumatized. >> these are the or fans of the conflict between boko haram t left them with no one and nothing. northeastern nigeria. it is a vast country. let's take a look at one of three states that's currently with a state of emergency that's been since may of last year. the u.n.'s refugee agency says 700,000 people are now internally displaced by the violence and further 140,000 have pled to next door niger and cameroon. 13,000 people. it's estimated have died since boko haram began its violent

campaign. the group's tactics have evolved from hit and run to suicide b b bombings, roadside and holding terror in the north. former director of the nigerian state security service joining us live from abuja. tell us a little bit about the sophistication, the growing sophistication, it appears, of boko haram. you can do this without money. so who is funding this organization? >> yeah. it's a problem. the boko haram,

>> the people who will are, to prove their potency, they attack. so what does happen, what happens is that calls for extra vig lens on the part of the citizenry. everybody should be concerned and take steps to check boko haram. you know that elections are -- >> i was going to say when you were in charge of the state security service, presumably you had your eyes and ears all over

the country. was there any suggestion that something which started off -- and i remember reporting on it five circulation years ago starts off very small scale, could become something that affects nigeria in the large way that it has? >> yeah. well, when it started, it wasn't expected it would escalate to this level. but with boko haram, the international terrorist groups like isis and it becomes a national problem. it's not a global problem. so one would say we didn't expect it would get to this level. >> that's why boko haram is now taking advantage to recover in this society. again, like i said, you see, they don't believe in the established structure of government and elections are upcoming and they want to prove that they don't recognize the

established government and want to disstruct what the government is putting if place. >> appreciate your time, sir. thank you very much indeed. live from the capitol of nigeria. >> thank you. >> coming up on the news hour, stay with us. the russian president is in turkey talking about trade and energy. we are live in arrannkara for t starting the barricades most violent confrontation so far between police and protesters in hong kong. former f 1 driver mark weber involved in a high-speed crash in brazil. we will have andy here with news of that and the rest of the day's sport. palestinian woman has been shot by israeli police after stabbing an israeli civilian in the

occupied west bank. she failed. the woman has been transferred to hospital and is seriously ill. in ramallah, this: >> reporter: there are initial reports that an israeli settler in his 50s was found critically injured near the checkpoint south of nabalis in the occupied west bank. we understand that this appears to be a hit and run accident and the israeli security forces are searching the area and have closed off that checkpoint. now, earlier today, the palestinian woman in her early 20s was shot and severely injured by israeli soldiers tells junction. after police said she attempted to stab an israeli soldier there. she is being treated in a hospital in jerusalem and we understand her condition is critical. also, we heard theitsisi

security forces raided her village near bethlehem in the west bank and also searched her parents' home and arrested her father. now, this seems to look like a spill-over from the recently wave of violence that we have seen start and break out in jerusalem after palestinians said that thei israeli governmet was carrying out a lot of violations in the mosque, islam's third holiest side. we have is seen revenge attacks happen but because palestinians are attached to palestinians in jerusalem, we have seen a spillover here this is why we have seen securititio israeli s forces try to bolt sister security in these areas. >> has also seen a similar incident in the last couple of weeks where on november 16th, a palestinian man stabbed

annisitsi woman and she was killed. he was also shot by israeli security forces and is now facing trial. the iraqi government believes there are 50,000 so-called ghost soldiers in its army. these are false or absent names on the defense ministry's payroll. there are 800,000 soldiers in the iraqi arm, more than half a million of them are reservists and that leaves less than 300,000 soldiers on active duty of that total, 50,000 are so-called ghosts. their absence costing the iraqi a army $380 million every year. >> that's an avenue of $77,600 for every 2k3w0e69 soldier. nicole johnson reports. >> at a time when iraq needs its army more than ever, corruption has been revealed on a grand

scale. the equivalent of four divisions are either not turning up to work or simple don't even exist. >> some may be pocketing the money, claiming more soldiers than they really have. whatever is going on, iraq's prime minister wants to find out and stop it. >> i am sad that we paid the salaries during this period. all of these salaries. iraq doesn't have the money. soldiers were fighting. some have been killed. these are people who receive salaries and are not present on the ground. >> has been allowed to happen. >> new army recruits earn about $600 a month. so these so-called ghost soldiers could be costing iraq at least $380 million a year. this could be the tip of the iceberg. iraq's army is under scrutiny now more than ever. in june, four army divisions collapsed when they were confronted by the islamic state of iraq in the lee vant or isil.

corruption was blamed as one reason for the collapse. with isil controlling large parts of northern iraq, the army is under press to perform. it needs more money. almost a quarter of iraq's budget next year will go to defense and security. >> that's a 7 fold increase from last year. >> the fighting against corruption is as important as fighting against isis. and probably, we should -- we could not defeat isis with a corrupt army or corrupt police or corrupt iraqi security forces. >> reporter: the u.s. plans to give iraq $16,000,000,000 to arm and train soldiers, kurdish peshmerga forces and drives. some may be wondering just how had wisely that money will be spent. nicole johnston, al jazeera. >> an update from iraq, fighters from isil have reportedly killed

at least 15 border guards. it was a remote appropriate in anbar province near syria. many parts of an bar are under the control of the islamic state. the baghdad government still contains control over that border crossing. a sue i'd bomber killed at least nine people at a funeral in afghantan. 20s were wounded police say the bomber blew himself up in burqa district. almost a the united nations blames years of instability, poverty, and the lag of education. charles stratford has been to a hospital where mothers are desperate to keep their children alive. >> majib is a year old. he is suffering from acute malnutrition. his mother brought him to this government hospital in kabul a week ago.

she cannot read or write. she got married when she was 17 and she's now 32. she's doing all she can to keep her son alive. >> i have lost three children already. they got thin and weak and died. i give said my mic when i can. sometimes i can afford to cook him a good immediately. sometimes i can't. >> there are many children like sayed in this hospital. according to the u.n., around 10% of babies in afghanistan suffer from acute malnutrition or what's also called wasting. around 40% of children under 5 suffer from chronic

malnutrition. >> coming for treatment every day. doctor uselsi is in charge he here he says mothers often have no choice to return home before their sick baby's treatment is complete. >> sometimes, we have to put two children in one bed. many mothers can't stay for two to four weeks for the children to recover. they need to collect special dietary food sot baby needs so the child gets malnourished again. >> this hospital has anti-by on theics but it relies on the u.n. for special milk and food vital for treating the condition. studies have shown a link between malnutrition and under-developed brains and even future income earning capability in later life. experts say improving women's rights in afghanistan would help. >> the relatively poor status of women in afghanistan does have

an effect on malnutrition. the fact that girls are not enrolled until school or are dropping out of school and marrying too early and having their first pregnancy too early in life is resulting in poor nutrition of the babies. >> she will take sayed to their village. the struggle to keep him alive isn't over. charles stratford, al jazeera, kabul. now to the continuing fight against hiv aids and there is new concern about anti-retro viefl drugs. they have been a miracle for millions of sufferers. the concern is they could cause the virus to mutate. jacob ward explains. >> luige hospital in milan subpoena typical of the front line of hiv aids. it's a busy place full of recently diagnosed and long-term patients who are here for

antiviral drugs. >> they told me i had to take four different kind of pills, i was really scared because everyone knows that they bring a lot of problems. >> the drugs are chosen from 27 possible medications. typically, a cocktail of three or more of those drugs is given in a single dose. they are designed to suppress the virus in the body and often make transmission more difficult. >> dr. jay levy, an american physician among the first to discover the advice in the 1980s worries the drugs may be inviting disaster. he believes that the unchecked use of anti-ret proceed viral drugs may help the virus to mutate into a resistant form, one that we cannot treat. >> i am quite concerned that if we continue to advocate the use of the drugs in this country or in europe where they have the funds to do it, we may be breeding the event annual emergence of a multi-resistant

virus that can come back and that you want us. >> resistance can develop when patients have too little of a drug in the body, an inconsistent amount or only a single kind. this is why the drugs are typically given in large doses and in cocktails of three or more. dr. robert shaffer studies drug resistance viruses and says most anti-viral cocktails remain effective. >> in combination, these drugs maintain efficacy. i think we are a long way off from the situation where hiv will become significantly more difficult to treat. >> but the centers for disease control now reports that only three in 10 hiv-positive americans has the virus under control and in milan, doctors say the outlook for developing new drugs is bleak. >> now, we are in a phase where we don't have a lot of upcoming drugs. so the targets are different. >> this morning, drugs are

working hopefully. i am afraid of the future, some day maybe they will stop work or they will bring other problems or, you know, future is the thing that most scare me now. >> for the moment, the strategy is to medicate as many people as early in their infections as possible, essentially holding the virus off until someone finds a way to eradicate it. but that approach comes with risks because eradication is something experts increasingly believe we are unlikely to see for decades. jacob ward, al jazeera, san francisco. the russian president is in turkey for talks about trade and energy. he is due to have a press conference along with the turkish president on the monday. this is the scene. i have to say it does look a little bit static at the moment, but those are the flags which will flank the two leaders when they come out to make their statements. even though there are tensions

between the two countries are pretty high about syria, russia is syrian leader's closest ally. turkey wants to see him deposed but it looks like turkeyts need for energy could supersede all of those concerns. here is bernard smith in ankara. >>. the world a different place to five years ago. there have been no arab spring, no revolution in syria, and that is a significant politic difference now between the two current trees. russia the principal backer of the syrian regime. turkey, undererr erdowan gone. >> it is understood they are both so far apart on the issue, there is little they can agree on about it. so they are going to gloss over that political difference and concentrate on trade, and trade

is worth an enormous amount to both countries. turkey takes most if not all of its energy needs from russia, and russia is the second biggest export market for turkey after germany. trade, $32,000,000,000 last year. both sides want to increase that to $100,000,000,000 by 2020. so we are expecting agreements to be signed during today's meetings. and those agreements pushing both sides towards achieving that ambitious goal of increasing the bilateral trade. >> well, bernard smith in turkey. stay with us if you can because coming up on the news hour, we report on: egypt. thousands of students taking part in anti-coup protests following the verdict of former president hosni mubarak. lights go out on a hockey match
