wins but the concern is the storm surge from the pressure being put down on the ocean from this system as well as the heavy rainfall. there was a volcano close to where we are and there was concern about that, too, that there could be major mudslides slides but around the area as well as flooding because a lot of the low-lying areas don't drain water that easily. they are worried about the flooding there. right now, the big story is it's still over samar island, moving slow, maybe about the middle part of it. after that, it is still this tie off and on has five more bodies of land to make landfall before it exits the philippines. >> a long way to go then. how populated is soma island? what sort of damage has it been so far there? >> no idea of the damage just yet because this system, this typhoon hit, made landfall on the eastern side at about 9:00 p.m. last night. this came ashore.

reforms an promises are wholly dependent upon the security situation here. so a fascinating time both militarily and politically here in afghanistan. >> pakistan's military says its killed a senior al-qaeda commander accused by the u.s. of plotting to bomb new york subway. shukar was killed in a raid in the tribal area according to an army statement. u.s. prosecutors say they recruited and trained men in 2008 for attacks in new york and london, both of which were foiled. he was considered the chief of global operations. halid sheik mohammed. marvin g baumbond at the middle east institute says the killing of the leader fits into the larger paradigm. >> the general was in

washingtonj and it strengthens the narrative here in washington that when the pakistanis wan to go after someone they know where they are. i am sure there will be discussion in washington that this was the kind of repayment for the fact that the united states just recently renewed it's financial support for pakistan's military in the frontier. it's the way in which the two can cooperate, but the united states has to keep its films irprints off of these kind of operations. outside, they lose the legitimacy. pakistan has done the united states a favor and is a great deal of transactional reaction here united states does things for pakistan. pakistan does things for the united states. >> much more to come in this news hour.

results that were undertaken by arrange entenians. >> exactly. this is an argentine team that was said the only team they trusted. about an hour ago in mexico, they contacted the parents of one student who's name was alex andra and they did confirm his remains have been confirmed. >> that's one student. this goes a long way towards confirming the story that the attorney general has been telling the country for weeks now. >> that's that this drug gang killed and dumped these students in the town of kukula, not far from where they went missing on the night of september 26th. do you think this might bring some closure, perhaps, for the families of the missing students, some of whom didn't believe the government when it said the students had been killed by drug gangs?

>> for the parents, of course, any news, any clarity, is some sense of closure but members of the community, the school where these students were studying to be teachers have already posted on facebook a message in the voice of this student in which he is pleading that his death not be any vain. of course t wasn't written by the student. it was written by this group of supporters of the families and they are calling for more protests, for more fresher justice we will see more bodies identified in the coming days have been identified. >> doesn't mean these students and these families are happy with the government's response. they want justice and the people who committed these atrocious crimes to be held accountable and to pay for these crimes. adam, another large protest, i understand, being planned. just a few hours there in mexico. just stell us, what happens now with these results?

>> well, what we are probably going to see is people rallying around this saying there is more call for justice. there were protests this morning. we saw around mexico city not just 1 protest. these are sporadic, and a variety. i saw people reading poetry and songs. people are gathering to continue marching here in mexico city. if anything, the identification of this one student's remains will concentrate fury and anger on the government and although they have arrested dozens of people in this case, they haven't really gone to the heart of the matter of how police and authorities can be so corrupt and co lewd together to lead to the disappearsance of innocent people. people will be calling for justice, call for the resignation of the president although he has made several announcements saying it's going to reform local police but they aren't happy. they don't trust him. they don't trust riz government,

the attorney general. th that may not happen but these froe protests are not going go anywhere because this one student and perhaps more are identified. thank you very much. live for us from mexico city. more now on the killing of two hostages by al-qaeda in yemen. the two men in american photo journalist and a south african teacher were sought soon after a raid by u.s. special forces again to try to free them. let's speak to somer al handani. welcome to the program. this failed rescue attempt bringing yemen back into the international spotlight, the country has been going through major upheaval. what is the overall security situation there? does the government, the military, have any sort of control? >> the military unfortunately has lost a lot of control of the capitol, sanaa.

it has been maid by popular committees. in the south, it seals the military has some influence. unfortunately, since 2011, the power of malitias have been strengthened. a lot of pickle parties and powerful sheiks have their own forces. the military was dismantled in 2011 in hopes of restructuring the military, but the restructuring seems to have weaken ended the military a little too much, then the restructuring intended it to be. >> now, we've got a battlegoing there. you have al-qaeda and the arabian peninsula. the houthis, various tribes. how much territory do all of these faxes control at this point? >> i mean, they don't really control territory. they operate stronger in some regional areas than the other. did he moment, the north, saga is considered a houthi group area. they have moved since from the north, slowly towards the south

of yemen. they are trying to creep into there. you have the movement in the south, a secessionist movement across across the south demanding succession and al-qaeda dispersed in some areas. what's interesting now in yemen is that al-qaeda is fighting with the houthi rebel movement because you have al-qaeda that's a sunni radical movement. it's a military statement movement that doesn't recognize any shia and the houthis in the north of yemen who are shia. yemen has a new government, a new government. is the government trying to do anything to bring some sort of stability back to the country? >> the new government is presenting it's program to the parliament today. the parliament hasn't improved their program. we can't tell whether this new government is going to be able to carry out the tasked they are attempting to unfortunately, the

military is weak, hence why the americans have carried two on the ground operations since november 26th. it seems that the yemeni military is not going to take responsibility for that any more and that the americans have decided that if they want to take care of their own hostages, they are just going to do that on yemeni soil. >> thank you very much for speaking to us. moving on to news out of greaec now where protesters have fought with policea. demonstwrat orders threw stones and fire bombs at police who responded with tear gas and water canon. at least 6,000 people took part in the march for alexandra dropolos shot dead in 2008 after a confrontation with police. it has caused some of the worst riots in greece in decades. >> the protest in athens seems to be subsiding, police have taken control of the main

avenues of the city again yes see plat toons on the edges of the tained where the anarchists and the anti-authoritarian moval have their stronghold. it seems now to be contained within that neighborhood. we still hear stun grenades and the flames of malatov cocktails through the side streets in that neighborhood. we no longer see the anarchists running out and having the run of the streets at the main avenues of the cities. the police seem to have it very much under control. there have been reports of possibly a heavy-handed police response. police are alleged to have provoked some of the violence in order to be able to respond to it sooner and in a more controlled fashion. we have not been able to see that, ourselves. we have seen a very large number of plain-clothes policemen dressed up as many of the hooded youths whom they have been fighting with during the course of the even being and so we do

know that they have had many people in skies amoin disguise. this is an event traditionally held and controlled by the left wing, especially the far left here in greece. it is therefore, by definition, an anti-authoritarian anniversary. >> now india which has embarked on a plan to build more homes to house millions of people who move to the cities every year looking for work. thousands of some residents are being uprooted to make way for the construction. a report from new delhi. residents are picking up pieces of their lives. more than 300 homes were bulldozed. like all her neighbors, should

be unanimous's family built a brick house on this patch of forest. i came here to build a bert life. >> people say they cannot afford to live anywhere else. every year, about 10 million people move to the cities looking for jobs and a better life. the problem is, there are no homes for them to live in. land is becoming increasingly scarce and expensive, pushing migrants into illegal slums like this. >> in an ambitious move, india's new government has promised housing for all within the next eight years. to make homes more affordable >> they are encouraging foreign direct investment or fdi in construction by allowing

companies to invest in smaller projects with less money. >> tfor indian builders, it's a welcome move. >> we were crying for capitol for the last decade and there was the f.b.i. who, which presented the foreign investor this great. >> advocates for the urban poor like roger skamar says the initiative does little to ease the housing crisis. >> did he ha >> it has to be responsibility of the state. the state has to invest. it might be good for the middle class but not for the very, very poor population like them. >> so the residents of ranpor, buyiintoo buying their home seems like a fantasy. they say they are going to rebuild right here until the

government can give them a better solution. al jazeera, new delly. after the break, united kingdom signs a deal to build the first permanent military base in 40 years. >> how siriac kriksz pushed out by the syrian war are preserving their ancient traditions. the draw has certain place for the football world cup due to be played in canada next year. we will tell you who is playing whom, all that coming up with rajoul in sports.

43 students who went missing in september in the southern state of guerrero. activists have accused the syrian government of using chlorine gas against isil fighters. the syrian observatory says government forces used the gas to reppel an ice ill assault on the air base. in northern iraq, thousands of ethnic jazittis are in urgent need of humanitarian aid. many are trapped after fleeing. as winter begins, they are becoming more desperate. sue turtan reports from the iraq/syria border. >> they are cold and hungry, but most of all, they are desperate to get off the mountain. these zatti families fled in the summer. now they are living in tents further up the mountain with dwindling food and fuel supplies and the battle getting ever closer. there is only so much help this air lift can bring. for some, it's a hard decision.

this mother escaped with two of her children, leaving three behind. this woman escaped from isil fighters. the flight off of the mountain is risky. with isil routinely firing on the helicopters as they leave. the yazidi commander and peshmerga general have come down to report back to the kurdish president. >> every hour that passes is crucial. it's urgent. i am very worried about the civilians who are in a dire situation. >> i am asking the international coalition, in particular the u.s. but everyone who cares about this injustice to help because winter is coming and my people are desperate. >> the general says a joint force of yazidi volunteer fighters and kurdish soldiers are protecting as many as 10,000

people. jameel and his family escaped but they fear for those left behind. >> our people need clothes because they are freezing and food because 1,000 families are trapped. this is urgent. we need planes to get people off because the weather is freezing. >> with the weather still good, the helicopter did load up again. >> they are making as many flights a day as possible to or to take as much aid on to the mountain and evacwake as many off of the mountain. they say it would be so much quicker if they had larger transport planes to take more people before winter closes in without quo al list help, there is little chance they can escape the cold. the peshmerga and the iraqi air force are doing what thing. but many of these people will be left to fend for themselves once

winter starts. sue turtan, al jazeera, fish harbor on the iraq/syria border. britain has signed a deal to build a military base in bahrain. it marks a strategic shift for the u.k. richard martin reports. >> reporter: britain already maintains a naval presence in the gulf as does the united states and france. but the agreement to build a permanent base for u.k. forces is a sign of growing concern in the west about instability in a region it regards as strategically important. it's britain's first new military base in the middle east since it withdrew a permanent presence in the region in 1971. >> we will have the capability to send more and bigger ships and sustain them and their cruise in permitted facilities. a clear statement of our commitment to our sustained presence east of suez.

a reminder of our historic and close relations with bahrain and another example of our growing partnership with gulf allies to tackle the threats we face together. >> terrorist groups such as al-qaeda and d.a.s.h. are not the only terrorist threat we face. state-sponsored terrorism is a problem: the prime example is hezbollah, a terrorist organization that receives significant state backing and has recently expanded into syria. >> the because will be built next to the existing american one in the area british have been using for patrols. they will pay most of the $23 million construction costs after port which will be big enough to take britaints largest ships including the aircraft-carrier queen elizabeth. the deal is not without controversy. bahrain continues to see protests by members of the

majority shiia population that claims of discrimination by their rulers. last month's elections were boy colted saying reforms have been slow to be implemented. >> it was only few weeks ago that the house of commons foreign affairs committee reporting on the government said the bahraini government has not improved it's human rights reforms cystly. it should be put on the list of countries of concern. coming weeks after that, such a big political decision effectively rewarding the bahraini government, i think that will raise eyebrows as to wheth whether that's the best way for the u.k. to push reform in the gulf. >> it was announced in bahrain, a meeting of gulf states and western allies which has been dominated by the threatposed by isil, in iraq and syria. no timetable for the completion of the new naval base has yet to be released. richard martin, al jazeera. now, the deal gives the u.k. a permanent footing in the gulf

for the first time since withdrawing from the region in 1971. $23 million will be spent on the base at the 40. it will mean that britain can send bigger vessels into the gulf. they are simply for operations around the arabian peninsula and indian ocean. the u.s. base is near the strait of hormoz. it's the gulf's only exit point and is key because an estimated 30% of the world's oil supply is transported long it. the u.s. already flies aircraft out of its basis in the uae, kuwait and qatar to carry out airstrikes in iraq and syria. lou coffee is a fellow at the heritage foundation and served as special advisor to liam fox. he joins us from woodbridge in the u.s. state of virginia. welcome to the program. now, i understand that while you

were a special advisor to the former defense secretary, liam fox, that you were part of the group that proposed this exact base. is that right? >> yeah. that is correct when david cameron became prime minister in 2010, he created something called the gulf initiative. in and this gulf initiative was a mechanism that the british government would use in order to engage better within the gulf state as across all areas whether it's culture, education, economic activity or defense. and when it came to defense, we realized that with the threats close in the region and because britain shares many of these security concerns with its allies in the gulf, that perhaps we should look at a permanent military presence in that region. >> but why a permanent base now when the u.k. hasn't had this sort of presence in the gulf in more than 40 years? >> i think for two reasons really. i think firstly, it's an

acknowledgement that this region is so important. so, it's an enduring commitment to britain's allies in the gulf and, in this particular case, with bahrain. and this is especially important at a time when most of europe, including britain and also the u.s. is focused on east earn europe, the threats russia is poi posing. doing, making this move in the middle east during this particular time where tension is high in eastern europe sends a signal to britain's allies in the region. the second reason, i think, is because britain wants to show its american partner that it wants to con trip but to security, that it's not going to simply rely on the american security provided in the region like many other countries do. >> okay. so like you said, part of this is britain trying to reassure its gulf allies that it is there for them. how do you think bahrain's neighbors will react to this? >> well, of course, they are not going to react favorably to

this. i am sure we will hear the usual rhetoric coming that this is a throwback to british colonialim and train to go reestablish the empire east of the suez, this is about bhain taking reasonable measures to show commitment to friends and partners in the middle east who share the common concern that iran may get a nuclear weapon and iran takes on an aggressive and belacose stanchion of the region. beyond that rhetoric we will hear from iran, i think there will be a realization behind closed doors that this does show a significant commitment from great brittain to the arab allies. >> okay, luke. thanks for speaking to us, luke coffee >> a former special adviceor to liam fox. t the british government says there are more than 10,000

victories of slavery in the united kingdom. religious figures and police chiefs from more than 30 countries are meeting london to try to stamp out human trafficking. barnaby phillips reports. >> reporter: this young woman was used as a slave by an older woman who brought her to britain from nigeria. she was made to cook and clean for long hours. she slept on the floor, and she was not paid. when she asked why things had to be like this, the older woman threatened to send her back to abusive relatives. >> i don't have friends. i don't have anyone to speak to or, you know, i just felt this is maybe that's just life for me. and she just said to me, oh, well, would you rather be going back to your own coo where he beats you and kills you tan to be here? so i had no voice. i had nobody to talk to. and i just felt,

have it. ms. repa misery is difficul stamp out. this woman runs a shelter. she says the criminals are ruthless and those who control profit st prostitutes maybe make big proves. >> if your commodity is a person, that person can make you money and i have known before feels that have been trafficked to this country that can make up to $50,000 in three months. and then they can carry on making you that amount of money. so, it may cost you 800 pounds or $1,200 to bring them to the

country on a flight. they are going to make you $50,000 in the next three months. >> victims of human trafficking often feel isolated and frightened. the conference in london could be a first step towards changing that. >> we are going to pursue the criminals and punish them by going to prison. so, it's about changing the balance. but at the moment, victims are reluctant to come forward. they are sometimes not properly supported and actually, then, the criminals get away with it. >> these women have been trafficked to the u.k. and forced to work as prostitutes. the british police can't solve this alone because this is an international criminal trade. the ugly side of globalization. barnaby phillips, al jazeera. members of the siriac correct community in turkey have opened a school that teechdz in their own ancient language. a supreme court ruling gave the go-ahead for the kinder garden in istanbul. it's the first of its kind in more than eighty years. caroline malone reports.
