our coalition does not install hate, but rather the courage to build a future based on shared interests, shared values, and a shared faith in one another. >> diplomats gather from around the world to discussion their opposition to isil fighters. i'm live from doha. also ahead, israel will hold early elections in march next year, after the ruling coalition

collapses. the iranian ambassador's residence is targeted in yemen. a bomb blast, with at least one person dead. and three founders of the occupy movement in hong kong have surrendered to police. is it the end to the campaign of greater police call freedom? ♪ the fight against isil will go on as long as it takes. that's the message from u.s. secretary of state john kerry. he is in brussel along with 60 ministerings of the coalition of countries who want isil out of syria and iraq. what is the latest? >> reporter: the latest is we just received the final communique from they meeting. i think the headline would be the remark that the advance of

isil is being halted. they do not say it has been halted, but at least they are saying that isil in itself 30,000 rebels are being made to think twice about when they make strategic movements, and i'm sure that the coalition here would go on to say that to that extent they have had some success already. but of course they face a huge challenge, and it's not just the military one on the ground. this communique goes on to talk about stopping funding, stopping the recruitment of people joining isil. and perhaps, in the long term, they might be the harder, or more difficult ones to try to address. they have got a long way to go,

as i say, but they feel now, this first meeting at ministerial level that the coalition is beginning to form, but when you have 60 countries meeting, inevitably there are differences. this communique is giving the impression of a united front, but there obviously will be differences, and of course iraq's roll in all of this is crucial. and this is what the iraqi prime minister had to say earlier. >> [ inaudible ], the challenge we are facing is a challenge to the whole world. this is the most criminal organization that has committed atrocities, and they are [ inaudible ] to commit a lot of

atrocities, so we have to stop them. >> so when you get behind the statement and political language as it were, does it look like this is indeed going to be strong enough in terms of political will to really put an end to isil? >> reporter: well, i -- i think -- you know, people would privately acknowledge that isil has proved itself to be remarkably terrifyingly efficient in many ways, not just in terms of a fighting force, but also the way in which it has managed to spread its propaganda and attract people to it's cause, and i think when john kerry speaks in a short while at a final press conference, he might well address some of those concerns, which are how do you stop people joining isil?

how do you cut off its supply of willing volunteers? and i think the propaganda war, as well as the political one is going to be discussed more and more in the future as the military strikes continue. now, of course, in iraq and syria, against isil. >> thank you tim friend live from brussels. and we can get more analysis, because we spoke earlier to a senior commentator with the gulf news, and he told us that the coalition allies do need a different approach in order to defeat isil. >> if it were possible to defeat them through air assaults from july to now, it would have been done. there are two ways to really address the ildz potential threat. one defeat the ideology of isil, and there is only one way to do

that, support the moderate muslim communities throughout the region, and the second thing you have to, unfortunately, you have to put boots on the ground to defeat the isil terrorists once and for all. where this will happen, when this will happen, how this will happen is what they are discussing in brussels. syria said the u.s.-lead coalition air strikes are not making any difference between isil. bashar al-assad made his comments in an interview to a french magazine. he said, quote, you can't end terrorism with aerial strikes. he went on to describe his position in syria as a captain trying to save his ship. now, israel will hold early elections on march 17th next year. they voteded to dissolve itself

after benjamin netenyahu sacked two key ministers and announced plans for a snap election two years ahead of schedule. >> reporter: by going to early elections, prime minister netenyahu hopes to end the crisis that he says he has been suffering from within his government with a lot of ministers giving him ultimatums and threats. what he is trying to achieve by holding early elections is a coalition government that is more in agreement with him and his policies, and does not present a lot of challenges to him, more often than he wants to. what we are expecting to see in the coming months after the election when a coalition government is formed is a move to a shift to the right-wing, the government could come more right-wing, we understand. religious parties for example would not be part of the

coalition government, but a traditional ally of netenyahu is expected to back him and support him, and he is expected to also join forces with these religious groups in order to broaden a right-wing camp in the coalition. so this is what we're expecting of an election of israelis going to an early election for the time being, the government will continue to function as a transitional government, and even after it is dissolved the [ inaudible ] will continue to function as well, until the elections happen on march 17th. a bomb blast in yemen targeted the iranian ambassador's residence. the official number of dead is one, but witnesses say they saw several bodies being pulled out of the rubble. hussein wasn't at his home at

minister says he will resign. jonah hull sent us this update from stockholm. >> reporter: this is a country really in a state of profound political crisis at the moment. in the building behind me, the parliament, there is a debate going on, it does look as though the center minority government may lose its bid to push through a budget for 2015. the opposition alliance isn't going to support the government. and the balance of power is held by a far-right national list anti-immigration party. they are not going to support the government either. i'm joined by a political columnist with the daily [ inaudible ], thanks very much for joining us. his options are pretty limited, the prime minister. >> well, he has been trying to strike a deal with one or two of the opposition parties to push through the budget, but he

hasn't reached any deal. but that window does not close yet. it closes at 4:00. so he might still just do that, but it's not likely. he -- he might also cling to power for a month or so, threatening the opposition to call for an extra election as they say in sweden. >> reporter: so an election is not a forgone conclusion then? >> no, no. he could call for a new election if he clings to power for a month. he can't call for a new election until late december. so it might happen. but the only winner in a new election would be the nationalist party. >> and this the party that has been described as a racist party. is that fair? >> well, when they were founded 20 years ago, well, it was founded by racists, and they still pop up in the movement at

a scaring -- >> reporter: and wanting of course to put an end to or severely limit at least the huge numbers of immigrants who are allowed into sweden each year? >> yeah, they want to drawback by 90% or so. but still, they have 13% of the vote, so you must say it is a legit political movement. >> reporter: this is a country of course famous for its famous democracy. are people shocked? >> well, you won't see rioting or looting. but people are a bit shocked because this is a shift in the political balance of sweden. we have become more of a normal european country. >> all right. we're going to take a break now, but when we come back, it's the 30th anniversary of india's
