>> hello, we're live from london. coming up, mourners pay their respect for saudi arabia's king abdullah. king salman take over. rallies try to avoid a wipe out in sunday's elections. and anti-goff

anti-government protests in haiti. >> king abdullah was buryied in. saudi arabia's new monarch king salman has called for solidarity among muslims. >> digdignitries gather.

just after they arrived in riyadh they gathered for a simple funeral. other international leaders have also passed on their respects in a statement u.s. president barack obama said as a leader he was always candid and had the courage of his convictions. one of those convictions was his steadfast and passionate belief in the importance of the u.s.-saudi relationship as a force for stability and security in the middle east and beyond. >> he's a real loss to the middle east. a real loss for all the peace in the middle east. he was an experienced leader and a wise king. >> the u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon said he was a

driving force behind the arab peace initiative, king abdullah left a legacy that can still point the way towards peace in the middle east. >> he had a foreign policy that was far more dynamic and interventionist. he sent troops to bahrain to stop the up rising, this is very usual for saudi leadership, but this is one of the things he has done. >> reporter: the new king salman said that he would steer the same course as his predecessor. >> we're going to continue with the approach of father, who built this state and is followed by his sons. we'll continue to implement the qur'an and the character of the prophet mohammed. >> the following tradition over the coming days is greeted by

other members of the royal family and the saudi people to show their allegiance. also following saudi convention, the former king has now been buried in a simple, unremarkable grave. erica wood, al jazeera. >> for more than eight decades the pass of royal succession in saudi arabia has been clear because the monarchy has passed along a line of brothers who founded the modern kingdom in 199. king abdulaziz took the line and his half-brother and now the new crown prince, the youngest surviving member of this generation. for a smooth transition,

mohammed bin nayef has been named new deputy crown prince. what do we know about the new ruler? >> prince salman abdulaziz's swift appointment was seen as shoring up the succession line in and avoiding a struggle for power. he's one of several powerful numbers. they are the suns of the founder of saudi arabia king abdullahziz, all from the same mother. they're all over 75 years old. he was governor of riyadh for 50 years. prince salman attracted foreign investment and was seen politically and economically aligned with the west. he became minister of defense in 2011, and was also appointed

to the powerful national security council that oversees foreign policy, security and intelligence. socially conservative salman is not likely to introduce significant change. royal succession stipulates that the healthiest brothers inherit the throne. but the rules are not clear enough about complex situations. there are several grandsons of the king who may battle for power. prince salman is seen the most likely person to quell any dissent, whether he's able to rule a country with many citizens wanting change will be his greatest challenge. >> thank you for coming in. do you think that there is no

huge appetite for change. >> i think we can expect continuity so we don't expect any major policy changes going forward. >> what about reform? >> i think king abdullah was a gradual, moderate reformist. he was not a reformist in the conventional sense. there will be institutional obstacles in reform. in terms of political reform,

the municipal councils that we saw, it was much more of a gradual processes. >> what about the future for human rights? >> i think we have to remember that saudi arabia is itself a very conservative kingdom. younger saudis don't freely have much of an appetite for reforms. moderates and liberals are an elite in rekwrad riyadh, so you have to recognize that it does not recognize the phenomenon, and it will be a gradual process. >> how do you see a policy going on from there am? >> it's got is, which come on the scene in the past year, and we should remember that most saudis are against saudi involvement in the u.s.-led

coalition in syria and iraq. >> how about the question of oil? saudi arabia is the largest oil producer in the world and it has not wanted to budge in terms of output of oil. will we see change in the output of oil? >> unlikely, but if we continue to see downward spiral of prices but this is not venezuela or iran, it has the leverage for settling in the medium term as well. >> thank you very much. >> now in yemen there have been reports of a large explosion in the north of the country the blast is believed to have taken place in the shia houthi hold of sanaa. it comes after the president and cabinet stepped down with an ongoing political battle are the armed group.

there have been demonstrations around the country including the capitol who blame the armed group for staging a coup against the government. demonstrators are threatening to close ports. at least ho people have been killed in government shelling east of the damascus. dozens more were wounded in airstrikes which hit a grocery market and the main square. a government barrel bomb attack on northern homs has also left four people dead. we have more from neighboring beirut. >> reporter: dozens of people have been killed and injured in airstrikes. now this is east of damascus, also report of airstrikes carried out in homs's countryside. activists have been saying there have been a large number of airstrikes over the last couple of days across syria and this is because the weather has improved and the skies are clear, so the government has been carrying out those

airstrikes. now, the war in syria has spilled over into lebanon on friday. we had syrian rebels attack the lebanese army in the close to the syrian border. it is an area that is around 65 kilometers long, 10 kilometers wide, and we know there are fighters from al nusra front and syrian rebels who have sense pledged their allegiance to the islamic state in iraq and the levant. the lebanese army says it has regained control of that area of the post that was attacked that a number of syrian rebels have been killed as well as a number of soldiers from the lebanese army have been both killed and injured. >> japan's government said it's trying to secure the release of two japanese men held hostage by isil. the groups said they would kill the men if a $200 million ransom was not paid by friday. top japanese officials are

coordinating to save the men. reports suggest that they were captured after traveling to syria last year to try to rescue another. >> they would like to see the case against three al jazeera journalists resolved. mohamed fahmy, bader mohammed, and peter greste have been in prison for 391 days. they were falsely accused of helping the outlawed muslim brotherhood, charges they deny. an appeals court in cairo has ordered a retrial. >> we don't have any interests whatsoever to put any citizen under detention journalists or otherwise. outside of the rule of law. but there is a point also that i would like to highlight here, which is we are trying very hard in four years of turbulence to regain the rule of law and uphold the independence of the judiciary.

>> the united nations said the number of people killed in the conflict in eastern ukraine is now more than 5,000. intense fighting between ukrainian troops and pro-russian separatist are in their most violent stage. we have more from the front line near donetsk. >> reporter: we followed a rebel escort and headed north out of donetsk. the rebels at the checkpoint said we could go no further. ukrainian military had left just hours before we arrived. this is 30 kilometers north of donetsk, and up until yesterday it was occupied by the ukrainian army. now the pro pro-russian rebels now control and all that is left of the ukrainians are their bunkers and their dead. a few personal belongings are

scattered around the trenches they had dug. >> this is my motherland. they are injured soldiers. we tried to help them. >> i want to put this on the internet so their families know that they're still alive. >> he takes us to a house and shows his graffiti he says was written by the ukrainian soldiers. it reads: russian alcoholics, get out. there are still a few people amid the destruction. most are reluctant to talk. >> i don't support either side, this lady told me. i just want peace. rebels tell us that the ukrainian military retreated to three kilometers down this road. as we prepare to leave explosions could be heard in the distance. the rebels say they expect ukrainian forces to try and retake the village at any time.

charles stratford al jazeera. eastern ukraine. >> still could tomorrow on al jazeera the first ebola vaccineshipment is due to arrive infections fall in the three worst-affected countries. >> reporter: solar power production has potential to increase relations between india and the united states. >> we have more from the africa cup of nations in sport. >> voters in greece are headed to the polls for we have more on

on the election. >> reporter: samaras's party has been trailing in the polls by three to five points. now that lead has widened to six or seven points. however, he retain as very solid 25 to 27% which does not seem ready to abandon him. he has done a couple of things in an offensive sort of way. he has avoided a television debate with his opponent, and he has avoided a television statement on the networks. he has a record with three main achievements. firstly, the stabilization of the recession the economy has now stopped shrinking. secondly the balancing of the budget at the end of 2013 and the primary surplus and thirdly, the fact that greece

has now bonds again on international markets at reasonable rates. the quantitative easing announced by the european central bank today should enable greece to continue to borrow affordbly once it graduates from its program. >> one local businessman has little faith that a new government will be capable of any improvements. bankruptcy pushed him to make a desperate stand in a warning that you may find some images in this report upsetting. >> a greek man takes desperate action. a bankrupt businessman who had spent his last tenure rows on a can of petro he used to set himself alight. that was four years ago. he shows us his build where he ran his perfume bottling plant before the bank refused to negotiate his loan payments. he lost everything. >> that was a protest not only

to the bank and the government to trying to make them understand that they must act for the health of the people who elected them. >> has greece improved over the years since then, the four years since you set yourself on fire? >> no, every day we grow worse and worse. most of the people have lost almost everything. they have lost self-respect. >> the same fate has hit many businesses here. there are similar stories all over greece where companies have closed down. after the companies were takennage off ready finances, easy loans things turned sour,

and then they had finances pulled from underneath them. they may be making promises now that may help people but once the election is over, the promise also evaporate. since there are signs of recovery and that austerity is working, and why he should be re-elected. the frontrunner is is promising to change things. >> i don't think that unless we overcome this and doing things

together all this corruption. >> austerity measures have hit this region hard, but the message from the e.u. is that there will be no renegotiation of the billion dollar bailout after the election. some think that they should take heed of an ancient proverb. >> this fire will come also to your house. >> prophetic words from one man who came close to death to make a stand. >> and the greek elections have been on the agenda for germany chancellor angela merkel.

>> the great people will freely and independently vote, and after that we'll start dialogue with the new elected government, and we'll talk about how to go ahead. greece has had already a difficult past, full of difficulties for the people. >> two days of landmark talks between the united states and cuba have ended with both sides agreeing to meet together. the discussions in havana spoke of reestablishing economic ties. >> i want to start out by saying i don't have a crystal ball, so i don't know how this is going to work out in five years or ten years. but what i do know and what the president and the secretary have stated clearly is we know what has happened in the last 50, and we know that the policy that we had pursued over the last 50 years has served solely to isolate us and not to create the

empowerment of the cuban people that we were seeking. >> let's go live now to havana. the talks are over, but there are still key issues that are unresolved. tell us more about those. >> that's right. from the cuban side there are certainly issues. number one and paramount is the embargo. the cuban side is that that is clearly the key issue above everything else. but really jacobson, who you just heard from, she can't do much about that. the embargo is an issue that only the u.s. congress has full control over. what barack obama basically did was try to strip down the embargo as much as he could, at least within his powers. and ultimately it will be up to congress. but also another key issue is also the fact that they are still on the u.s. list of state-sponsored terrorism. that's something that jacobson said that based on--they're

going to be examining looking at but it might take time before they can possibly take kuhn off of that list. how much time, we simply don't know. there is a who slew of issues, no doubt about it. they discussed a lot of these but they reached no concrete agreement on any of it, at least not that they can announce. the americans refocus on reopening an embassy here. that was their key mission, but no agreement on that, at least not yet either. >> tell us about the mood that was on during the talks and what the next big step is. >> the fact remains that no agreement was reached. nothing that could be announced. in that way the talks were not successful if looked at from that perspective. we spoke with a top ex-cuban diplomat and i asked him that question, how did he think they went. he said that they went very

well. it's been over 50 years since these two countries have not been talking with each other. they're finally sitting down at one table and discussing these issues. anyone who thought this would be resolved in one meeting clearly didn't understand the slow pace of diplomacy. so there is a mood that at least people are talking here, but a lot work needs to be done. we're going to be looking at airplane that's where the summit of america's conferences are going to be happening and panama the state summit that happens. barack obama and raul castro are expected to be there. they might meet there and that would really be the first time, if they could possibly have a meeting since this new arrangement since the two countries. that could be a key moment that we will be watching very closely. >> live in havana. thanks very much, indeed. u.n. security council members are in haiti for a three-day visit aimed in part to urge the government to hold

elections. thousands are taking to the streets to urge the president to step down. he has been ruling by decree since parliament dissolved. joining me live from port-au-prince is james bays, what is behind this, and could we expect any success from it? >> well, the idea is to try and support the political process to try and get elections in this country soon because it is a time of political turmoil. rarely do the u.n. security council come to a place that is in political turmoil like this country is, and rarely do they come to a place where the u.n. and the u.n. mission is unpopular as it is in haiti. there are almost daily demonstrations demonstrations against the president of haiti

against his new compromised consensus cabinet but also all the people you speak to say that they're opposed to the u.n. presence. they would like the u.n. to leave this country and the last couple of hours i joined protesters. they joined with a small grouping to begin with. in fact, a voodoo ceremony at the start to blast the protest. then they marched through the streets and more and more people join them as they try to get towards the airport where the u.n. security airport were landing. it's pretty clear how many people in this country what they think about the united nations. >> and james who else will they have meetings with? >> well, we're not getting a fuel idea and full read out of what meetings they're going to have while they're here, the security council. they're going to be looking at some of the reconstruction work

in haiti after the earthquake five years ago. we understand that they're going to be going to a hospital. it has cost some 9,000 lives and it isn't over, remember how cholera came here to haiti. most people believe--most experts believe it was u.n. peace keepers who brought the cholera here. so a difficult trip to the u.n. security council likely to face difficult questions in the near future where we're expecting them here at the presidential palace to speak to president martile. we are not sure who else will be speaking. >> thank you james. for that live update from port-au-prince. still ahead on this al jazeera news hour. senators in the democratic republic of congo back down on the bill that triggered them.

a tour down under, a cycling event we'll hear more about that.

>> leaders from around the arab world have geared in riyadh to mourning kim king abdullah. protectors in yemen have been staging demonstrations against shia houthi rebels, it comes a day after the president and cabinet resign after ongoing political battle with the armed group. more on the implications of the transition in saudi arabia and the crisis in yemen.

thanks for being with us. we seem to have another day of politics in yemen. what do you think will happen and how will it impact the u.s. relationship with yemen. >> thank you for having me here. right now yemen does not have a president, it does not have a vice president. the authority for the parliament expired in 2009. so there is really a complete vacuum in yemen as we speak. it's rather unprecedented and it's a major problem. >> what do you think is likely to do about it?

>> right now we're in a wait and see mode. president hadi has resigned. the government may ask him to resume power. this may force the hands of the houthis to allow him back in the game, and to relinquish some of their demands of him. but right now it remains to be seen. >> it's interesting that the houthis had originally agreed to a deal whereby they would go away and they didn't, and that in part is why the president and cabinet resigned. >> it's a major partner. the united states needs a partner in yemen. we need a central government in order to conduct our counter

terrorism policy. hopefully both sides will step away from the brink and cooler heads will prevail. right now we're just in a wait and see mode. >> presumably we have the succession in saudi arabia under king salman, where does he start with the whole events in yemen? >> well, i don't expect too much to change with the royal succession between the united states and saudi arabia. but one early test will be what goes on in yemen. if there is no central partner for the united states, the united states will lean heavily on saudi arabia, a country disrupted to al-qaeda and the arabian peninsula plots to the united states. we'll need their intelligence cooperation and their insight into what goes on in yemen going

forward. >> geremi sharp. thank you very much, indeed, for your thoughts on the matter. >> thank you. >> india will push for a new solar energy deal with the u.s. when president obama visits on sunday. more and more people are embracing the power of the sun. >> every time they turn on the light they pay money. in he spent $1,500 setting up this micro solar unit, but he says it's been worth it. >> if you invest in this, you save $400 every year. that means you recover costs in four to five years. after that it's all profit. >> he was able to make the initial investment but not everyone is. electricity is still relatively cheap with two-thirds of india's power needs being met by readily available coal.

but advocates for solar power are convinced that the preference for coal-generated power will change. >> there are some technologies that have higher footprint but this will reduce in cost. >> the hope is that solar panels will be a common site. it already produces 900 mega watts. the aim for solar energy to contribute to 8% of india's total electricity production by 2022. solar-power will increase across india and will be brought into the mainstream, but there are challenges to developing the technology including figuring out large-term effects. traditionally solar plants would need large amounts of land and leaders worry that it will

encroach on agriculture land. but that's disputeed. but environmentalists say there is no such thing as wasted land in india. he recommends building smaller rooftop units for family homes and government buildings. >> for india solar energy should be decentralized and large solar plants is not something that india can afford. >> this solar plant is being built over a canal but right now there aren't many plans plants like it. still, no matter how small the power play, it pays to go solar.

>> theres havecharges relateing to rice subsidy scene prosecutors say the scheme was corrupt. senators in the democratic republic of congo have backed down over a high little contentious bill that will allow the president to remain in power. we have more from kinshasa. >> here in parliament, senators have rejected one of the controversial plan changes to electoral laws. but oppositionist are still suspicious that president joseph kabila is trying to extend his rule beyond the two terms. >> the government objected to avoid the constitutional limits to the time of the presidential mandate. this is the core of the debate. that is what we must defeat.

>> the senate voted against the plan that opposition says will delay the next presidential election by years. but the national assembly could still push it through. president kabila's coalition say that they're just trying to improve election laws. >> they say he will not leave at the end of his term. i don't know. he has never said this. >> they >> doctors without borders has condemned a bombing attack on one of its hospitals that an it says was carried out by the sudanese air force. there were more than 100 patients there at the time. no one was killed but the hospital had to close temporarily. >> we're quite sure that the

targeting of the facility was was--was intentional. the plane had nothing else in mind. we have communicated with the khartoum government at all times. if it was a mistake or not it was a very public place so it's hard to believe that that's a mistake. >> zambia's governing party is plain takenning maintaining a slim lead. it's party candidate will succeed the president who died late last year. the low voting turn out is blamed on heavy rain, and officials say that the election has been free and fair. the first ebola vaccine shipment is due to arrive.

it's headed to liberia. it will be used in the first large-scale vaccine trials in the coming weeks. it comes to one of the three worst infected countries. >> reporter: life under the shadow of the deadly ebola virus in west africa, a disease that has stolen lives torn abatter families and left survivors struggling. there have been criticism of the additional global reaction to the outbreak. since the first appearance of the disease in 2013 months passed before the magnitude of the problem was acknowledged. even though the current outbreak has been one of the worst ever, there is some effort that the hope that the effort to tackle the virus has slowed down infection rate. now, over the next two weeks

clinical trials will begin in liberia to determine if two new vaccines are safe and effective. co-developed by a british and u.s. pharmaceutical company 30,000 volunteers will take part in the trial including front-line health workers. the first version has been tested out on volunteers in the u.k. the u.s. switzerland and mali. the "world health organization" warns that the deadly epidemic is far from over. the "who" states that $260 million is needed to fight the virus. on friday, sierra leone lifted its quarantine measures a sign that there is life at the end of this long dark tunnel.

the hope is that the vaccine will stop the spread of the virus that has caused so much pain and fear in west africa. >> one of the gunmen involved in the paris attack has been buried in an unmarked grave. the 32-year-old killed four people at a paris supermarket. his burial was attended by a few family members. top court has upheld the government decision to strip citizenship of a french moroccan man accused of terrorist crimes. >> he was sentenced to seven years in prison in march 2013 for recruiting fighters to go through iraq, afghanistan and somalia. and in may of 2014 the prime minister signed aed a decree stripping him of his

nationality. his lawyer challenged that, the constitutional council has upheld the original decision. it said that it was justified given the current fight against terrorism. now, the decision of the constitutional council has been welcomed by a number of applications, including the far-right leader marine la pen. >> it's very clear that we need to establish an automatic trip stripping of nationality in the conviction of this type of crime and serious offense. we also need to re-establish a double punishment. >> french law allows people to be stripped of citizenship in cases of terrorism. but this measure has only been used eight times since 1973. human rights lawyers are afraid that this can set a dangerous precedent where, in fact, there are two classes of french citizens those born in france, and those born overseas.

>> it was not a surprise since the president was already setting up the case. it is not satisfactory. it is not satisfactory because it endorses the fact that there are two types of french citizens which has never been the french tradition. >> the ruling by the constitutional council comes two weeks after a series of attacks in paris in which 17 people were killed. the french government is currently working on new legislation to tighten security. >> indonesia is preparing to carry out a second round of executions despite objections from the international community. australia has called on the country to reconsider its decision to execute two of its citizens who were convicted of drug trafficking. six people including five foreigns were executed on sunday. ten people are missing after a chinese fishing boat sanction in near a south korea island.

just near san diego. this isn't the first time authorities say that cartels or drug smugglers have used drones to try to get drugs over the border, but this shows that they're increasingly resourceful in their way to get drugs in the hands of u.s. consumers. they've used catapults in the past to fling drugs over the borders, but a more popular strategy is to dig tunnels between the u.s. and mexico, they'll walk it under the border and hand it off to members of their operation in the united states. meth has become increasingly profitable for cartels in mexico who set up labs here in the country, and is smuggle operations that take it into the u.s. also there has been a resurgence of heroin use in the united states, and most of that is from mexico grown in poppy fields in mexican hills and processed in labs where it is
