announcer: this is al jazeera. hello, welcome to the newshour. we are live from al jazeera headquarters in doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes - dozens of people injured in a car bomb attack outside a police college the united nations case the number of syrian refugees displaced by the war will hit 4 million also this hour a new development in the crash area. a rescue team finds the tail

section of the airasia and a multi-million pay out in compensation for oil spilt in nigeria. we begin in yemen where a car bomb has exploded in sanaa. it was close to a gathering of people near a police training college. at least six people have been killed. 40 others have been wounded. let's get the latest from omar al saleh. we have seen him bring up to speed with the latest. >> there's a number of people killed at this stage. the number of wounded has risen to at least 60 people some of them in serious condition.

the death toll could rise. it was a big explosion. security forces tied the police academy, suggesting that a man driving a small bus parked the vehicle, and disappeared from the scene moments later. the explosion happened. a lot of people were standing there. some were high school graduates, others were already police - members of the police force trying to register as officers. also present shia houthi fighters registering to be integrated within the security forces. there could be a number of reasons why the police academy was a target for this explosion. >> there has been no claim of responsibility yet, but everyone is pointing the finger at al-qaeda in the arabian

peninsula. >> this has been al qaeda in similar attacks. no claim of responsibility with regard to this particular attack. but over the last week there were several improvised explosive devices targetting houthi fighters in soouna and other -- sanaa and other parts of the country leaving others dead. also over sanaa and nine provinces, in yemen, al qaeda is saying that there is a war of atricks against the fighters, and al qaeda said they will target them wherever they are. >> bring us up to speed on the government efforts to resolve this with the houthis, who, as you said have been consolidating their power in yemen. >> yes, absolutely. the government is the weakest point of all of it.

the biggest absentee. there are shia houthi fighters taking control of most of the country. on the other hand they are not paid to stop the campaign. not only against the houthis, but government supports as well. with regards to attempts by the government they returned to the capital over the last 24 hours, after meeting with houthi rebels. they agreed to form a committee to look into the differences. however, all the political parties have signed a number of agreements the peace and partnership, and returned to sanaa. before that over the last year there was something, a dialogue backed by the regional government and others to

oversee the transitional period following the toppling of the president in 2012. so far all the efforts have failed. i think the government is unable really to stop the houthi campaigners, as well as al qaeda. they are the weakest in all of this. >> thank you in afghanistan suicide bombers targeted a police academy in the eastern city of khost. al jazeera has been told that taliban fighters blew up the wall and entered the compound. three of the people were killed. they have been blamed for the death of a judge and six construction workers in the north. jennifer glasse is in kabul with more. >> a number of attacks. the taliban claimed a responsibility for an sault on

the police training academy there. a suicide bomber blew up his car up at the wall. they eventually got in blew them up and they claimed responsibility in a text message. in the north they were responsible for an sault on a convoy -- assault on a convoy. they were headed to another province. two were kidnapped in that incident. in jalalabad, again, a man and his two children were killed. a bomb went off underneath their car. all this violence across afghanistan amidst an atmosphere of political instability. the parliament is meeting to discuss what kind of pressure they can exert on the president and his chief executive. 101 days after the presidential inauguration no cabinet here.

that has paralyzed the country. people cannot get many things done. officialdom has ground to a halt. and many are frustrated and that is reflected in the parliament in the legislature in kabul, as they try to figure out what they can do to get a cabinet named as soon as possible the u.n. refugee agency said the number of refugees from syria hits 3 million. they account for 20% of refugees held by the organization. let's talk a look at where the syrian refugees have been going. according to the u.n. more than 1 million are in turkey. 1.1 million to be more precise. lebanon has taken a similar number and more than 622,000 syrians fled to jordan. the war broke out in 2006. iraq is home to 233,000, and

egypt has taken in almost 140 syrian refugees. gerald tan has more on the people forced to leave their homes. >> reporter: it's not much but it's now home. every day more syrians across the boarder to end up in refugee camps like this in lebanon. they arrive exhausted, afraid and with life savings gone and are confront with the blitz of winter. >> we are freezing from the cold with little children. we have nothing prepared. where do we get things. >> translation: we don't have heating and the food items are decreasing. our situation has become so bad, we don't know what will happen in the future. >> reporter: syrians are the second largest refugee population after the palestinians. figures have been rising steadily in march 2011. by december 2012500,000 syrians

left the country. three months later that figure doubled. by september 2013 the number of refugees hit 2 million. last august it reached 3 million. this humanitarian situation is hurting the countries. this week lebanon forced controls. the u.n. refugee agency warns this is the worst displacement of people since world war ii. >> that is the reason why we have been not only the countries of the region but all this in the world where the borders open to syrian refugees. >> reporter: they left war behind and the syrians can only hope they are not forgotten

andrew harper is the u.n.h.c.r.'s representative in jordan. thank you for your time. syrian refugees constitute a large number of refugees under the mandate. tell us about the significance of this and what it means for your organization. what is means is that we have never experienced a large number of refugees. a total of 3.2 million syrian refugees fled their country. what we need to add to that is another million refugees who fled the area. we are looking at a humanitarian catastrophe, which is unparalleled. this is the largest number of people forced from their home since the world war ii. as the segment goes air, we are hit by a massive storm.

it will make their life more miserable. the refugees don't have heating. we are raising against time to make sure that everyone can basically survive the winter storm. agencies with u.n.h.c.r. doing what they can. >> it's a hard task. >> many of the refugees describe some of the conditions that they are surveying. do you feel that the host countries that they are in from jordan, where you are, are better purposed to help them out. >> well i think we are as prepared as we can be and as you mentioned for many refugees jordan and lebanon are the governments and communities have done what they can to help the refugees there's limits to what they can do. they have the ones in the camp.

we will make sure they get through. we have improved the drainage replaced the tents with shelters sleeping overnight with refugees. food is provided. but then we have to deal with the bulk of the refugee population. 85% living in basements homes without heating. we are trying to get cash to that population. they can buy clothes for the children. they can get - they are often hidden - hidden support. we have ends going out over the country. to make sure they can get through this. >> support by the international community has been criticized for failing to step up to the plate. what is needed. what is needed by the international communities to help the refugees?

>> well it's within the national communities to raise the dignity of the population bring them out of despair, keep them warm, and it's an issue of money. a lot of countries have been generous. in the end we receive 50% of what we require. of course people are suffering. and it's getting worse by the year because people's coping mechanisms are steal. they are selling everything that they have got. no one wants to be a refugee. people want to go back to syria. until they can, we need to provide the basic support. and that means providing them with the shelter, with the food with the heating. every month, for instance it costs a million dollars for electricity. the world food program doesn't have enough money to provide necessary food. it will be a tough winter.

we have the ability to provide assistance. but we need all the friends of syrian refugees to step up and do more. we received about 100,000 blankets from the un that was a great gesture, but we need more cash the ability, the dignity to survive as they see fit. >> more is needed to help. we appreciate your help. >> thank you. >> andrew from the u.n.h.c.r. al jazeera has obtained a leaked report from the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons investigating the use of chlorine in syria. it provides the most detailed allegation yet on the use of chemical weapons in the country. the u.n. says the document says the bashar al-assad government

is dropping barrel bombs full of chemicals. >> reporter: the u.n. security council has discussed with organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons, they look into the chemical weapons. it was a closed meeting with the security council. it has not been made public. al jazeera has obtained a copy of the report into the use of chlorine in syria. it concerns three places in syria, two in idlib, one in hama and a total of 24 instances. now it is concerning what is in the report. many report smelling chlorine after hearing or seeing helicopters. none of the ambassadors were prepared to talk publicly. samman though powell said 32 witnesses saw or heard the sound

of helicopters as becomes struck. 29 smelt chlorine. only syrian regimes used he'llos or helicopters. this report is detailed and contains medical data as well as photographic evidence. there were some countries that will not. china and russia sitting on the security council don't want it made public. while there's concern, there won't be action china and russia are permanent members the u.s. military is planning to train groups to fight islamic state of iraq and levant. rear-admiral kirby says fighter will be mobilized soon. >> no training has started yet. three countries that have agreed to sponsor sites, turkey.

qatar and saudi arabia. and there's others that were tucking about contributions that they may be able to make. if we continue to make the progress that it's making now, that we could contuct some training by early spring. kurdish forces in syria killed 31 fighters from islamic state of iraq and levant. they were killed in fighting in kobane. seven fighters from the people's union were killed. kurdish fighters from the kerb kurdish peshmerga packed the fighters who overran kobane last september seven have been killed on

the iraqi and at al-fallujah. the town is key in terms of landscape. i.s.i.l. - if it takes it it will be close to the capital baghdad. ahead on the al jazeera newshour. china rolls out the red carpet for latin america leaders as global oil prices hit their economies. and after a long legal battle compensation for oil fills that battled land in nigeria tragedy overshadows the car rally after a driver is found dead. search teams have found the tail of the airasia passenger jet that crashed into the sea in december. the tail is a black box.

flight recorders have not been found in the jet travelling from surabaya to singapore. rob mcbride joins us from indonesia's capital, jakarta. a significant development. tell us more about the find. >> that's right. the decision was taken to go down and vet the large piece of wreckage that has been protected by sonar. it was anticipated that it would be the tail. conditions are appalling that it was at the bottom of the seabed. the visibility was three meters enough for the divers to go down and enough for them to visually identify that it was the tail plane. you have brought back photographs of the airasia plane and the identification number. they are able to confirm that the tail plane section, 10 meters long is laying upside down.

the question is if the wreckage is intact and how much below the seabed this is. it's a muddy silty seabed. it is soft. the tail plane, the section that contains the black box flight recorders may be below the silt. although it has been located, and bringing the black boxes back to the service is problematic at this stage. >> and the black boxes are crucial to finding out what happened. this accident this crash, raised a lot of questions. one of the implications is air safety in indonesia. >> there has been a debate about the growth of the aviation sector exponentially. the government has been quick to come out announcing a number of measures. they argue that it should have been different, and they say it's unregulated, for a number

of years prior to the accident. it is one of the better operating airlines. >> reporter: in his home town the funeral for a flight attendant. one of the few recovered and identified. families are coming to terms with their loss as the country grapples with problems of an aviation industry that doubled in size within 10 years, with poor regulation and questionable practices. the government is has gone into overdrive with much scrutiny and suspension of key officials. >> translation: we are having a

wider investigation with the whole transportation military and involved in this. action might be taken to higher levels. critics, the flurry of activity will be enough after years of neglect. >> translation: they have to draft the regulations. they have to do a law enforcement. the power of the regulators. >> the jets are taken to the sky. there's investment in airport, traffic systems, and they have not left pace. in many ways they are problems of asia pacific. it will need an extra 13,000 jets in the next two decades to meet the demands. >> reporter: after the loss of

malaysia airlines mh370 the asian authority have been under pressure to improve traffic control systems. the growth in aviation about only increase the strain. some time some countries misadopt the concept so we need to be very careful. this is not about selling cheap tickets or trying to reduce training course. >> the air crash investigators continue to look for the tragedy. authorities across the region looked for answers to the bigger question of aviation's inextricable rise. with a couple of hours of daylight left there'll be another day of searching in the java sea. up to 100 divers have been involved searching the tail

section. and wreckage. an 18 meter section. victims of this disaster that bodies had been retrieved. many more of the victims are likely to be located in that section of wreckage rob mcbride, thank you hong kong's government is having consultations on how the territory's leader will be elected in 2017. critics dismissed reports as propaganda. >> reporter: the main street blockade outside hong kong's main government building. a small group defied demands to leave, hoping to keep the electoral reform... >> one government listen, and

one government not only decide the poll city. >> the hong kong government refuses to compromise. even though there's a second round of confrontation as to how the leader will be elected. >> the chief executive insists he'll stick to the plan as to which candidates will be able to run. >> if we really want to implement universal suffering. we have to follow the basic law. hong kong is a lawful society. we have to follow the national congress standing committee. >> that statement, submitted to beijing this week. the government held protesters. the document would reflect the people's calls. protest leaders say the 155 page report - dozens address the political crisis triggered three months of protests.

the reports is below the province. it twisted the public sentiments, and also it misrepresents the opinion of others. this report was hailed as the olive branch that protesters hope break the impasse. almost a month since the blockade was shut down it reignited tensions and triggered a new protest in hong kong. a council meeting has been cancelled and he renewed calls for protesters to stay off the streets. >> translation: the public should take a lawful rational pragmatic approach. some protest leaders could be denied a roll, but the government ordering investigations and arrests in israel dark clouds are

hovering in the skies of west jerusalem. up to 60 september meters of snow to the region. more on the weather. it will be interesting in that region. >> 60 isn't meter, i think -- centimetres is the forecast for the higher ground. this is the position yesterday. we are talking about more refugees than last year a bad year. this is not so bad. this storm has been named not by meteorologists but it's a constant entity if you like. same with rain. rain is the main i suspect. clearing away what the satellite has done it's a clue. it's a big system. there's a lot of snow. the cloud itself is likely to bring rain from those places. it's up to 90 degrees.

8 in aleppo, 4 in ayman. to the beqaa valley val. -- as well. cairo has been sand storms because the weather picks up the sand. that snow comes down. yes, temporarily it could be right but low levels. it will not stick. thursday temperatures - they'll feel nasty. if you drop south, the immediate change will be picking up the sand. it will get colder. >> thank you very much indeed. still ahead on the al jazeera newshour. a police station attacked in a popular tourist district in istanbul. >> and rafael nadal gets his competitive season off to a shaky start at the qatar open.

stay with us after the break.

welcome back a reminder of the top stories on al jazeera newshour. a car bomb exploded in sanaa, killing at least eight people. it was estimated near a police training college. 40 others were wounded in the attack the u.n.'s refugee agency said the syrian refugees will hit 4 million, accounting for

one in four being held. afghanistan, taliban targeted a police academy in the inner city. it's responsibility for killing seven people in two separate attacks now, in nigeria, the shells agreed to an $84 million settlement in niger delta for two oil spills. the deal follows a legal battle. they were operated. the community suffered greatly with large areas and surrounded left with oil. the official report admitted responsibility.

that's been contested who say more than 100,000 have been split. 53 million will go towards individual payments. the other 50 million will go in general. the business and human rights campaigner - how big a victory is this decision by shell. for the community in the nigeria. >> yes, this is an awesome victory. it will be unlike many in the nigeria who suffer the impact. they'll receive some meaningful compensation helping to alleviate the suffering that they had to endure for more than six years as a result of the two massive spills. tens of thousands of people in

the community have been affected by the spills and they you know, have not been able to fish as they used to. their food sources and clear water has been affected. it devastated their lives. so it's good news for them that they are now going to receive compensation. >> the clean-up hasn't actually started many years on. whose responsibility is clean-up. is it the nigerian government's responsibility or shell's. >> no i mean it's shell's responsibility to clean up. they haven't done so in six years. it's really useful. and aside from the conversation what the community in bodo and the people need is for the

pollution to be cleaned up so they can get on with their lives. a fisherman who they spoke to pollutions to be cleaned up so they can get back and, you know there is no excuse for shell not having this for so long. under neej earian law, it's supposed to start within 24 hours. and milestones in 60 days but it's been six years. >> this nonetheless is unprecedented. other people along the departmenta in the future perhaps benefitted from some form of compensation. it's not just the local community that's been the

victims. >> absolutely. i mean there'll be many that occur every year and our expectations is that other communities will not be able to seek justice in the u.k. courts or the dutch courts. they can receive proper compensation and clean up as they have done it. what this court case meant is it disclosed information that they would not have otherwise. to the fact that infrastructure are edging and hazardous and that is something they have known themselves since at least 2002 and also the case shell have had to admit that they were about the size of the spill,

amnesty international has been saying for more than a few years that the company, the massive spills that they - it's 60 times more than the estimate and they recently - it was wrong. what we are saying is that shell knew that this - that these claims were false, but it persisted to stick with the compensation. what we hope it that the community now can challenge the data on oil pollution in the region, and hope today, like the community will get some justice, because really they are

devastated by so many years. >> thank you for talking to us and sharing the insight on this. jo from amnesty international. joining us live from london. >> staying in africa man that says he's a senior commander in the rebel movement the lords resistance army considered to be a deputy commander to joseph kony surrendering to the republic. the international court on suspicion of war crimes against humanity. >> while the lords resistance army in uganda on the 10 commandments written, and the chief of the notorious grouf is joseph kony a reward of up to many dollars offered. forcibly kidnapping children.

a far left group in turkey claimed responsibility for a suicide bomb attack at a police station in istanbul. one police officer died when the female bomber detonated the device in the sultan abdullah district part of istanbul's main tourist district the aftermath of a suicide bomb attack. the tart appears to have been thousands of tourists who come here every day. turkish television broadcast security camera footage of a woman they say was walking towards the police station. into the building in sultan abdullah district and speaking in english, told the police she had lost something and detonated a charge. the distribute is home to world famous attractions including the blue ask and hafeya sophia.

>> police forces and intelligence services are investigating whether there's a link to the group. a comprehensive investigation was gip regarding the attack. further steps will be taken. >> the air around the police station will be sealed off. the attack comes five days after a police guard was set to explode. anoutlawed group claimed responsibility. bernard smith, al jazeera. venezuela's president nicholas madura visited a counterpart. china is venezuela's largest creditor loaning it more than $40 million over the past

five years. electricity, infrastructure and agriculture will be assisted. since 2006 china has given venezuela more than $2 billion in cash. caracas was sending beijing many barrels a day. according to the i.m.f. venezuela needs oil at $120 a barrel. that means it could default on its debt. the economy was in trouble before oil prices began a fall. joining us for more is a policy analyst at the center for independent studies. life from beijing. madura's visit at a time when others are dependent on exports.

what can they hope to get, and will china save venezuela. >> i think the key thing that it is looking for here is a continuation of the economic relationship that venezuela endured, joined with china. essentially providing money up front in exchange for guarantees of future oil. the chinese are being coy, as to whether or not they'll come through for venezuela. yesterday they went through platt attitudes of positive times. i suspect it was probably a negotiating tactic on the part of the chinese. i imagine in the end it's convenient for them to have venezuela in a dependent position coming with the hat

acting for concessions exchange to oil. >> chaina agreed to a $42 million loan but have been reluctant to commit more money. are there strings attached to the loans, what are china's conditions and what are they getting in return? >> well that's the key thing here. when it comes to china's growing economic influence in venezuela or a host of other things the issue is they are providing the money without strings attached. the interesting thing is the signals, in a sense, changes with the international system. when a country like venezuela or another developing country grose to western europe or japan and asks for financial assistance with a host of things attached with democratic reforms and other demands, but the rise of china means there's a growing world power with cloud willing

to provide funds, but without there being strings attached. and the key aspect for china is the flow of oil. china is energy hungry. but there's also the issue of growing international prestige. venezuela in need of financial assistance. do tell us a bit more about china in latin america and it will participate in china. what is the relationship been like over the yas. -- over the years. is it a complicated relationship? >> sorry, i missed that.

>> between china and latin american countries. ties have gotten closer. what is the relationship we are looking at. is it complicated or easy? >> well the benefit for the latin american side which is full economic upside and no geo-strategic downside - china has incredibly important relationships with a host of countries, but it is engaged in bitter territorial disputes. when it comes to economic ties with latin america, there's no issue to sour the relationship. it's a booming trade, and no conflict. the same is true of africa. it's still convenient. because this is a case of china being able to step into latin america where historically the states have been the key power,

the influential power with diplomatic and economic sway. as a matter of fact the world changed, and we are going to wield economic and diplomatic influence. >> thank you so much for speaking to us. >> from the center of independent studies in beijing. al jazeera continues to demand the release of our three journalists now imprisoned in egypt for more than a year. peter greste, mohamed fadel fahmy and baher mohamed were wrongly accused of broadcasting false new and helping the outlawed muslim brotherhood. a supreme court in cairo ordered a retrial ta could begin within a month. lawyers from mohamed fadel fahmy and peter greste hope applied for them to be extradited. they are hopeful it will happen this week. >> can't give it a date on this side, but we are engaged with the egyptian government at the
