>> announcer: this is al jazeera. ♪ hello and welcome to the news hour, i'm dorli rainey in doha, with the top stories on al jazeera. a palestinian minister dies in a protest in the occupied wesz bank. under siege in iraq. we report from a town where isil is attacking from three sides. [ applause ] partners in peace,
10:01 am
pakistans, malala yousafzai, and kailash satyarthi receive the nobel peace prize. ♪ there has been outrage and done -- condemnation over the death of a minister in the occupied west bank. he died during a protest interrupted by israeli soldiers. the president has declared three days of mourning following the incident. >> reporter: this was supposed to be a peaceful event, but it quickly turned violent after israeli soldiers con fronted a group of palestinians trying to plant olive trees on land illegally occupied by israel. a senior government minister was
10:02 am
caught in the lines have. at one point he was hit by eely soldiers. shortly after the altercation, and clearly still out of breath, he spoke to the media. >> translator: we are not going. this is the army of occupation. we came to palestinian land to plant olive trees. this is a terrorist-occupying army that stops palestinians from acting on their rights. >> reporter: but his health quickly deteriorated. and died before he could reach the hospital >> one of the soldiers beat the minister in his head and bottom, and he fell down. >> reporter: distraught family members console each other. palestinian president described
10:03 am
his death as barbaric, and said that his government would take the necessary steps after an investigation into the circumstances behind his death was held. but senior figures within the palestinian authority are already calling on abbas to suspend security cooperation with israel, a major blow to the israeli government if that happens. let's find out the very latest. after many months of confrontations between the palestinians and israelis, but let me ask you about the palestinian authority. we know there is a meeting that is going to be taking place in just under two hour's time. what do we expect the response to be? >> reporter: well, it's hard to say just what the palestinian president is expected to say. we know he has condemned the death of the minister. he described it as a barbaric
10:04 am
act, and said that his government would investigate. we also know that an autopsy is currently underway, an autopsy that is being carried out by jordanian medical officials and israeli medical officials are also there as well as observers. but at this stage we don't know exactly what the palestinian leadership is going to say. one would imagine this is an issue that they are going to have to tread fairly carefully on. they are going to have to acknowledge the anger on the streets. we have heard of isolated protests in various parts of the occupied west bank, but there are other mayor considerations to take in as well, including the relationship with israel from a security perspective. there are calls already within the palestinian authority to suspend that relationship. a replay shunship which has been
10:05 am
in place for 20 years, so the palestinian leadership certainly has a lot to think about at this very tense time. >> and the israelis said they are going to investigate the incident, but have we heard any official statement coming out of the government or officials there? >> reporter: not very much. in fact we contacted repeatedly the israeli military and indeed various arms of the israeli government for some kind of response, but as you rightly point out, doreen, all they are really saying at this stage is they want to be a part in any kind of investigation into the death of mr. abuein. but at this stage the palestinians haven't said whether they will have a joint investigation looking into this death. but quite frankly as we have been seeing these images they are quite damming.
10:06 am
there is a still image of mr. abu ein being choked. and we have seen images of him on the ground looking very unwell. and as we know he died in the ambulance on way to hospital. all of this is only going to create what is already a very tense situation, that much more so, but we will have to wait and see what the palestinian response will be after that meeting in two hour's time. >> all right. we'll be speaking to you then. for the time being, thank you. now afghanistan's president says the u.s. senate report exposing secret cia torture reveals that some cia agents violated all accepted norms of human rights. he has demanded to know how many afghans were tortured by the cia. the report revealed on tuesday
10:07 am
also says that the torture of prisoners did not yield any useful intelligence. but the obama administration has ruled out prosecuting the people behind that program. jennifer glasse joining us live from kabul to tell us more. >> reporter: president ghani spoke on television just a few minutes ago, he said there was no justification for these acts. he says he got the report about 11:00 local time last night, and went through every word of it. he is calling on the americans to tell him how many afghans were tortured and he says that afghanistan plans to take this forward so they can sue or move forward in the justice system to get justice for these afghans, he says the report says were tortured. >> and how will he take it forward? was he specific?
10:08 am
>> reporter: he was not specific at all. he says actually he is ways -- waiting for the former president to return to kabul and they will discuss the matter very seriously and try to figure out what they can do. but he did say the new bilateral security agreement he signed opened a new chapter in afghanistan. that after the end of this year, that americans will not be able to detain afghans here, will not be able to hold or arrest afghans here. it shows that afghans from that point on will be able to make their own decisions. so he says that this kind of thing wouldn't be able to happen again. >> all right. jennifer thank you very much. the u.n. special repertoire on human rights says all of those behind the torture program must be held accountable. george tenant was the head of
10:09 am
the cia when that so-called enhanced interrogation techniques were used, and he maintains it wasn't torture. he also went on to win the presidential medal of freedom. and dick cheney who was heavily involved, and he maintains the torture program was authorized and also reviewed by the justice department. the man who approved the program in 2002 was the then president -- there he is, george w. bush. tuesday's report revealed that he wasn't aware of the full details of the program until four years after it began in 2006. patty culhane is in washington, d.c. as we were saying, patty, those featured in the report are denying the claims. >> the denials are coming from the former cia directors. when it comes to president bush, and vice president dick cheney.
10:10 am
the report basically says the cia lied to them. they didn't know the extent of the program. but when it comes to the former cia directors, he has talked to the media and said he has never lied. he said if everyone on the planet used cia behavior has the model, the treatment of detainees would be improved. many members of the media are not actually referring to it as torture. still we have heard a lot of elected leaders come out and defend the cia. they say the country had just been attacked. the nation was at war. it was understandable that they took these steps. and one of the bigger debates is whether senate democrats should have released this report. a lot of people are saying it wasn't conclusive and it
10:11 am
shouldn't be made public. >> so what is the long-term impact going to be? >> domestically probably not a huge impact. because officials are still saying the justice department looked at this, and decided they didn't want to prosecute any of those involved. we're not hearing there is going to be any change in tone, especially from the president who has in some ways done kemed the torture, but always said they have learned from their mistakes. but we are seeing a lot of world leaders condemning this practice, but that's as far as it is expected to go. we haven't seen any violent protests. it might be awkward many president obama decides to chastise another country for their human rights practices, but they are saying at least we made it public.
10:12 am
>> all right. patty thank you. still to come, liberia's president launches a new drive against the ebola outbreak, so how are people there reacting? >> reporter: and i'm in the french port of calais, where thousands of migrants who's only dream is to get to britain are living in some of the most desperate conditions. and find out what one of fifa's most influential figures had to say about the timing of the qatar world cup. ♪ but first the u.n. refugee agency says governments are passing the buck over who is responsible for rescuing migrants at sea, and that is costing human lives. at least 348,000 people have made the sea crossing since january. kim vinnell has more. >> reporter: for the first time since records began, refugees
10:13 am
account for almost half of all of the people making these dangerous sea crossings. most come from syria or eritrea, which is in the grip of an intensified recruitment drive in the mandatory and often open ended national service. the most common routes are shown here. organizations working with migrants say even though it is winter, which usually puts people off, unprecedented numbers of people are still risking their lives to escape. >> we attribute this to the desperate condition of some of the sending countries. libya is a place where upwards of 300,000 nationals who came there to work have been stuck ever since the violence picked up. and they are going to get on a boat and hope to make it to europe, not because they don't
10:14 am
fear the weather, but because what they fear by staying is more life threatening. >> this year more than 80,000 people made the journey across the red sea and the gulf of aiden, leaving ethiopia, or somalia heading for the north states. more than 4,000 people crossed the caribbean, leaving haiti and the dominican republic, hoping to get to eye lands off of the coast of florida. >> we spoke to the head of the international branch of labor organization, and she told us what needs to be done. >> first we need to create desent work opportunities in the countries of origin. but we know that international labor markets and globalized
10:15 am
world that we live in, means that people are going to still continue to migrate, so governments have to consider opening regular channels of migration, and finding safe and more regular ways for migrants to come, and look at their labor markets and ensure that workers and employers are really part of the dialogue in terms of solving the problem. the problem is one that is urgent and needs government attention. the lack of governance, and we have a fragmented global system, and the lack of the governance is really born out by the tragedies we're seeing. authorities in the french port of calais say they are overwhelmed by the increasing number of migrants arriving and trying to get to the u.k. they are mainly from eritrea, ethiopia, sudan, and syria. mohammed reports.
10:16 am
>> reporter: under the rain and the mercy of the elements, this is a makeshift camp for migrants in the french port of calais. driven by a desire for work and hope, the migrants keep coming. faces like this are now everywhere in calais. >> translator: there was only problems here. but nothing compared to what we witnessed on the way here. there were many times both while in the desert and at sea that i thought i would die. >> reporter: the origins of the misery in calais lie thousands of kilometers away in countries suffering dictatorships, oppression, and grinding poverty. for most migrants this is not the end, but the final leg of a long journey across deserts and overseas. this man is from eritrea. he deserted the country after
10:17 am
eight years in service. he says he was forced to sign up. >> i would like to many in normal -- to be have the family, to have normal life here. >> reporter: 17-year-old emmanuel fled too but for different reasons. >> translator: by mother is dead and my father is in prison. forced to care for my three brothers on my own, i decided to come to europe for work. >> reporter: every evening the migrants line up for meal provided by a local charity. it's the only food they will get all day. for many calais is a dead end, but others refuse to stay in france. they want to go to britain, because they believe they will find it easier to work and study there. >> translator: we want to go to
10:18 am
england. you sleep in a home, and eat and drink good food. it's not like france where we sleep on the streets. >> reporter: it's another day, and another opportunity for the migrants to try to get to england. they do this by smuggling themselveses into containers on track, traveling down the channel's tunnel, and on tracks taking the ferry to the british port. the truck drivers must continuously look for stow a ways widing in their trucks. with britain refusing to accept them. french police also use every means available to stop them from britain. the migrants say they won't give up. the szimbabwean president hs named his new deputies.
10:19 am
the move comes a day after the 90-year-old fired his former deputy, joice mujuru. >> reporter: a lot of people who were kicked out of the positions and some who were expelled from the party, for example, aren't very happy. some of them have been talking and saying they feel they have been treated very unfairly. what you could see is mugabe trying really hard to keep the party as united as possible. but he made a speech saying he was really disappointed about this alleged plot, and he is warning people he is the man in charge of the party and the country. so we are likely to see a tougher stance from mu gobby, and the people he has chosen will obviously be people he feels he can trust, people that
10:20 am
won't try to remove he and his wife from control of the country. the indian and pakistanian were both awarded the nobel peace prize. [ applause ] >> i call upon the government and intergovernmental agencies, businesses, workers, teachers, ngo's, faith leaders, and each one of us to put an end to all forms of violence against children. >> it was a place of tourism, and beauty. suddenly changed into a place of terrorism. i was just ten.
10:21 am
but more than 400 schools were destroyed. women were flogged. people were killed. and our beautiful dreams turned into nightmares. education went from being a right to being a crime. girls were stopped from going to school. when my life changed, my priorities changed too. i had two options. one was to remain silent and wait to be killed, and the second was to speak up and then be killed. i chose the second one. i decided to speak up. [ applause ]

10:23 am
articulately as she always does, speaking of the blessing that education is for children, and spoke for the 66 million children worldwide who are currently without an education. she was the voice of all of those 66 million. interesting that she also said that her share of the $1.2 million peace prize would go directly to building and repairing schools in pakistan, much symbolism as i mentioned earlier. one pakistani. one indian, one muslim, one hindu, clearly that not lost on the nobel committee when they decided to award this prize, and i think it was clear that both winners wanted to make the point that despite the countries that come from, and the decades of tension that the two countries shared, their issues of children not working, of children being allowed to learn cross borders,
10:24 am
transsend difference between religion and between countries sharing conflicts. they are truly global issues, and i think both delivered passionately and articulately at that central message, when they both accepted the award today. thousands of police in hong kong are getting ready to clear roads occupied for two mopth months for protesters. the protesters are returning to their jobs and studies, they say they still hope to make a difference. rob mcbride reports. >> reporter: a tank made out of trash guards the approach to this site. neither it nor the barricades will stop the police when they come. the self styled umbrella square is where the occupation movement began. it is where it will likely end. on september 28th, thousands surged past police lines to block one of hong kong's busiest

highways. >> it's just a new day for hong kong. >> reporter: activist jeffrey chung was among the first to protest, over two months on, he is still here and waiting to be arrested when the police move in. >> i believe that there's no such thing as the last day, because the last day is just another start. >> reporter: kelly chan has an 8-year-old son to return home to, and is packing up. she too believes this is the start of a longer campaign. >> yes, there will be. i don't know when, but there will be. we will come back as the banner suggests. >> reporter: with the hours ticking away, many have been coming to witness and document the flourishing cultural movement. >> translator: it's had that all of this will be lost and become history. we might not see the change now, but the people's awareness about democracy has been awakened.
10:26 am
>> reporter: but as this community is swept away, gone with it will be any exations of immediate change. as the movement has been marred by violent clashishes what began as an autumn of discontent as moved into a winter of dashed hopes. al jazeera continues to demand the release of our three journalists held in prison in egypt. they were jailed on false charges of helping the outlawed muslim brotherhood. they are appealing their convictions. still ahead -- >> are you going to pay the water charges? >> no. >> they are going to put you in prison, you know? >> anger in ireland over the government's plan to introduce water tax. and the last frenchman held

10:36 am
muslims. the islamic republic of iran and people of the region will not forget such conspiracies against the interests of the muslim world. it will remain in the minds of the people, and they will react to it. countries unfortunately following this path have to know that they are creating resentment against themselves and the muslim world. in dublin protesters have gathered to fight government plans to charge for water. it has been free up until now, but the government claims that charging for water is necessary to pay for the country's water infrastructure. >> reporter: very large protests and once again not just here in dublin, where tens of thousands are expected outside parliament, but right across ireland as well. for all of the years of austerity that the irish government put the people through, crushing austerity in lots of ways, in the interest of
10:37 am
bailing out the banking system, they never saw protests like this. the government has now said austerity is over, but can't pay for the upkeep of the water supply, and wants people to pay for it instead. and this is what they have to show for it. it's basically a mass revelt. are you going to pay for the water charges? >> no. >> reporter: they can put you? prison. >> yeah, i'll not be paying. >> reporter: why is there so much anger about this? >> we already pay for water. so why should we have to pay for again and again and again and again for their mistakes? >> reporter: thank you. it looks very much as though that's the national mood here. open reas a result, and they have had interesting support from a group of water campaigners from detroit in america. the bankrupt american city who

10:39 am
it's too crowded. for me i think it's too much. >> reporter: resources are under pressure. there's nowhere for the rubbish to go. it's loaded on to a barge and sent to another island. the ground water is contaminated, and now the desail len nation plant isn't running. the population has outgrown the size of the city. wherever you look there are people, cars, motorbikes and buildings. many say the capitol has become too expensive and is no longer a very nice place to live. however, a 20-minute ferry ride away, there is an escape. for ten years the government and private investors have been developing a new island. it has wide streets, quiet parks, and so far not many people. however, that's changing. and the man made island will become larger by reclaiming more
10:40 am
land. it could become home to 160,000 people, turning it into a new commercial capitol. >> the plan we have now is developing commercial and job opportunities here. once that is done, i think this will be the ultimate choice for everybody to come here. >> reporter: this is this man's new home. he packed up his family and moved here a year ago. the rent is half of the price of a similar place in the capitol. and there are plenty of lifestyle benefits. >> better drives and people [ inaudible ] very happy on this island. so that's why i changed my life in this island. >> reporter: back in mali this is one of the few places left where you can get away from it all. sadly, it's a man made beach. developers pored concrete over the natural ones decades ago. well the u.n. is hosting a

remarkable window on the productivity of the waters. but shell fish production, it seems is done, and that lines up with the certification impacts elsewhere in the world. >> translator: the numbers of mussels are reduced. there is a lot of pressure on the oceans right now. before the mussels were very large. >> reporter: it could be the ocean's chemistry is changing too fast for species to adapt. it could lead to some dying out. >> the oceans are certifying at an amazing rate. it's faster than anything that the earth has seen for about 60 million years. >> reporter: fish stocks are already at breaking point in many parts of the world. now climate change is ratcheting up the pressure still further on all of the world's astonishing

10:47 am
and now there is peace. there are still some pockets where the girls are still unable to attend their school, particularly the schools were damaged by the millators. >> it is dangerous for girls to attend school there? >> not dangerous, because somehow the situation is under control. but you know the situation in the surrounding areas, particularly in [ inaudible ], all the areas where the situation is not good, it has a great impact on other areas, so partly you can see some of the girls are -- have opportunity to go and attend the school. but in the remote areas, still they are the families -- they are reluctant to send their daughters because of the
10:48 am
security reason number one, and the second situation are the condition of many schools in the conflict area. >> what has been the reaction there to malala winning the nobel peace prize? >> it was mixed because the day we heard about malala won the prize, we celebrated. but country at large has pockets today like in islamabad, in many places, people they were in touch with life transmission, and they celebrated this in their own manners. however, there are areas where people are not happy and especially today we were very upset because the proven shall government, they are not able to table this resolution, to
10:49 am
acknowledge and celebrate this big achievement. this big achievement is not only for young girls, but a big achievement for the country. so there is a mixed reaction, and conservative element within the state institution and in public, they -- they have very negative response. >> do you see it at all affecting -- affecting girl's education, and girl's rights positively? >> yes, of course. because, you know, the -- the way -- from conservative element, malala is projected on a social media and the people are writing a column against her, it's a discouraging for other human right activists, and particularly the girls for coming and fighting for human rights, but any -- this is the great impact because this is
10:50 am
encouragement for other young girls, particularly in tribal area. women are younger in other part of the country, there are more opportunities and exposure, but the young girls from [ inaudible ] is a great achievement for us, and encouragement for other young girls. so in a sense it is also an encouraging sign for us as well. >> thank you very much for giving us your point of view on al jazeera. now both nobel peace prize wirns, that la la yousafzai, and chi lash satyarthi have lobbied for educating children. our correspondent met chi lash satyarthi. >> reporter: lunch can get a bit rowdy at the home for boys, with all of the singing and dancing, it's easy to forget that these
10:51 am
were some of the most abused children in india. satyarthi and his non-governmental organization rescued all of these boys from bonded labor. over the past 30 years, he has freed more than 80,000 working children, and that is why he's receiving the nobel peace prize. >> it came as a surprise, but in a little while i realized that this is the biggest recognization to the most neglected, to the most invisible children on the planet, it's not for me. >> reporter: he gave up a job in engineering to complain for children's rights. his work is often dangerous. ajay, which is not his real name is one of these rescues children. years ago when he was only
