. one hour special only on al jazeera america >> hello, from al jazeera's head quarters in doha, this is the news hour. coming up in the next 60 minutes. ukraine's crisis deepens rockets hit a market in the city of mariupol. 27 people are killed, dozens injured. a country divided thousands take to the streets of yemen for

rival protests. for and against houthi rebels. also ahead. >> there has to be a way of bringing more forces. >> iraqi kurdish forces tell al jazeera they can't drive out isil without foreign boots on the ground. plus president under pressure, an u.n. delegation in haiti as anger on the streets rises against him. >> first to ukraine where 27 people have been killed in rocket fire in the government-held port of mariupol. this is the scene on the ground after the strike hit a local market. local officials say 97 people

were injured. the fighting in ukraine's east has been intensifying. separatists already have the upper hand in donetsk. two days ago shells hit a bus in the eastern city, 13 people were killed there. now take a look at the devastation caused by fighting at donetsk airport utter destruction. the bodies of ukrainian soldiers litter the area. they were forced from the area earlier this week, and this is what the airport looked likely before a huge contrast. let's go to charles stratford who is live in donetsk. what more are you hearing about this? >> we just got breaking news for you here. we've heard from a group of local and foreign journalists--excuse me, it's very cold here, who have been attending a candle lit vigil commemoration of those who were

killed in that trolley bus attack. it was attended to by rebel leader alexander he said the battle for mariupol has begun. up until this point the rebels were denying any responsibility for these attacks that hit the port city, but certainly a very significant development in terms of what the rebels here are saying in this conflict. >> i was going to ask you more about the significance of the attack. it seems from what you are saying that the rebels say that this is possibly the start of something a lot bigger? >> well, that's right. there have been warnings this week. he said he was not interested in truce tox any more, and he warned of a multi prong attack out of donetsk to the boards

that would have taken in mariupol mariupol is a hugely strategic and significant city. it would link crimea with this area. so certainly a very important development. we've seen an escalation in violence over the last few days, as you mentioned the airport there, intense fighting there and withdraw of ukrainian force there is on thursday. we ourselves visited what was the ukrainian military post yesterday. the rebels had taken that over. so it seems certainly at this stage that this intenseity of fighting is set to continue. >> thank you very much for that, charles. let's leave it there in donetsk. we've got breaking news for you about those japanese hostage hostages taken by isil.

we're hearing that the japanese government is trying to verify video reporting to show execution of one of the captives. the japanese captive. let's bring in you've been following the story for some time now. a deadline passed on friday. what we know is that they wanted something like $200 million for these hostages, otherwise they were going to kill them. the deadline had past, if this is true, one of them has been killed. >> that's right. if this is confirmed the japanese government is trying to confirm this. isil had released a video and in this video the second japanese hostage pleads for his life. there is an english transcript of the view, and it suggests that they had given up the demand for $200 million. what they would like instead is

a prisoner swap for a prisoner who is in jordan who is allegedly responsible for the the 2005 event in jordan. now at the time he was alleged to be very close to the head of al-qaeda in iraq at the time. a group that morphed into isil. there is certainly a value to isil. this deadline has passed, and it seems unlikely that they would pay the money. it all does point to another set of tragic events where another person has been beheaded at the hands of isil, but this is a change intact tick for them. >> i was going to ask you about that. the fact that they've gone from asking for money to a prisoner swap. what is the significance that have. >> there is a number of significance. several people are very close to the middle eastern politics.

one of the things that isil is trying to do is to keep in the headlines the 200 million figure that got them headlines. it was a massive amount of money. it made them seem that they were the premiere jihadly group the only game in town to follow. the fact that they swapped this for this idea, this prisoner swap is also interesting. it says life for life now. this is something that they are trying to develop now. this news is just out. the japanese government is trying to--according to the state broadcaster--is trying to verify this videotape and indeed, if it exists. it's a very complicated situation. >> we know that many have pulled out of the country because of security concern. it has made dealing with this hostage situation very difficult. talk us more through what jordan's role is, and what it means for the bigger picture. >> isil is on jordan's border.

anbar province backs on to jordan. they've been affected by the war in iraq for a number of years. they know exactly what they're dealing with, and they're very worried about the threat as well. and the japanese ambassador, i met when i was in baghdad and he speaks fluent arabic. he loved the country and he didn't want to leave. when i asked about the isil threats, he said i don't want to leave. at the time he was working to stay. this was six months ago. a lot of diplomats have pulled out, and it shows you how seriously governments are taking the threats of isil. in jordan, they ramped up security on the border crossings. they've done all of this, but yes, jordan has brought into this. they'll be looking at the woman who is the alleged suicide-bomber that isil wants to swap for this japanese hostage, and wonder what value she is. she has served a number of years in prison. she probably isn't at the

stage--she's probably as surprised about this because she has not heard from isil for a number of years if ever she was linked to this group. it has been suggested that she might be. but a lot of ifs. we do need to wait for this confirmation. the only confirmation we can wait for is from the japanese government. >> what do we know about the man in question at the moment. he's 42 years old. an adventurer, self-employed contractor fascinated by the war. the fact that japanese have been captured this time comes at an interesting time for japan where there is growing concerns in the country about the role japan should be taking from a military point of view. >> it's very much an internal japanese thing. we did did have a japanese journalist the second one, who is begging for his life in this video. what he's saying is a message to

shinzo abe is please don't let them kill me. please give in to their demands. there is a worry about what japan's role is militarily in the world. whether that has anything to do with this, this was a journalist that went through and then the second person who went in after him is really looking for him. he was really looking for him. they are high-value targets. these are western educated, high value targets clearly worth a lot of money. these are high-value targets for groups like isil. they keep trading on these werners they're worth much more than the arab journalists. there have been a number of arab journalists who have been kidnapped and beheaded.

>> i'll ask you a bit more. what we've seen in the run up to this we've seen pictures, a bit of video we know again that the threats are with a man with a british accent. we've seen this time and time begin. this has spooked a lot of countries. >> the turn of foreign fighters is a very big problem. the numbers there are 600 fighting but it's not just western countries who are worried about this. the turkish foreign minister has suggested they're up to 700 turkish citizens fighting in iraq. it's one of the roots in and out, so there are a number who are worried about the way in and the way out, a and what will peep do when they come back. a lot of this is driving the security concerns and policing strategies. one of the interesting things that turkey is doing is taking a look at what it can do when

these guys comes back. in turkey they're wondering what to do next. there is an isil conference in london two days ago that was one of the big talking points. what do we do with these returning foreign fighters. >> we're going to be chatting about this throughout the day but let me remind you that we're hearing that the japanese government is trying to verify video purporting to show the execution of one of two japanese captives. this is according to reuters by the way. as soon as we know whether this has or hasn't happened, we shall let you know, but also we're talking with our correspondent video is out there making some sort of demand that has gone from the $200 million ransom to a prisoner swap demand. we'll have more on that as well as soon as we get the details.

thousands of people in yemen have protests against the houthi yemen group. they have been protesting against the shia minority group. >> chanting against the rebel groups that control the yemeni capitol. thousands of people, the largest group yet made it clear they're against the houthis who moved into sanaa in september. >> we're protesting to overthrow the armed militias and keep them out of the capitol of sanaa. >> reporter: these protesters don't want president hadi to resign. he said that the country was in political deadlock and he could not stay in office. it's been years since they forced the previous president out of office, but many believe

he has connection to this. the 2011 up rising began in a southern city. on saturday 5,000 people protested there against the houthis. but there are many others who support the rebel group. on friday thousands of them marched in support of the houthies and their plan to transition to a new leadership. but as people pushed to a 60 million people need humanitarian aid. people don't have enough food and children are malnourished. millions of others have no access to clean water. >> it may get worse many go

unnoticed. >> while humanitarian problems grow politicians still have to work out who is in charge. members of parliament are due to meet on sunday about the president's resignation. they need to approve it. >> heat has brought severe drought to brazil as water levels plunge. and the cash-strapped community in greece come together to form their own currency. and the dominant side of african football face an early knock out in the african cup of nations.

>> a top kurdish regional leader in northern iraq has told al jazeera that he needs more ground troops to defeat islamic state of iraq and lavant. he said that the international community need to send reinforcements to help peshmerga forces in the front lines. >> kurdish peshmerga troops have been winning battles but the war is far from over. the u.s.-led coalition has helped them but commanders say that it is not enough. they say the slow pace of the offensive allows isil to regain momentum. the chancellor of the kurdistan region security council oversees operations on the ground. he told me that the international community needs to engage more. this would require ground troops because it will take time for iraqi forces to be ready to defeat isil.

>> to wait until the training is completed, until the forces, especially in iran, are able to come in position. that will take a longer time. there has to be a way of bringing more forces to the grouped. and not only depend on the airstrikes. >> so you're calling for foreign troops. >> i wouldn't be calling that. i'm just saying that that depends on how quickly the international community want to get rid of isil. >> reporter: the coalition does have military advisers on the ground but it has ruled out sending combat forces, at least for now. but the iraqi government has made clear it would not welcome foreign forces, and that is not the only disagreement it has with the kurdish regional government. some of iraq's arabs see the kurdish advances on the ground as part of a plan to carve out mortar tore in their autonomous

region. >> perhaps a more loose kind of unity would probably be best to address this problems. >> the peshmerga are fighting a costly battle against a better-equipped opponent. in london the iraqi government asked for more military support. the peshmerga want the same thing, but the difference is they're ready to accept foreign soldiers on the ground. al jazeera northern iraq. >> joining me now is a professor of government at georgetown university specializing in turkish and kurdish policies. thank you for coming in. so this call for more troops on the ground, what do you make of it and what do you think needs

to happen in order for that to happen? >> isis is still a power in iraq iraq. they're still fighting over kobane. apparently the kurdish force need outside troops to change the balance of power. >> okay, we know that there is not much desire or appetite for the u.s. and regional players to get involved other than possibly iran. >> yes. >> u.s. and turkey, i should imagine, would hate for that to happen. >> that is true. because the whole isis scenario

when the u.s. wanted to droppel down an iran ally in syria. now if iran comes into iraq, that will empower iran and iraq. the original purpose of creating the whole mess in syria would be defeated if iran is united with iraq. iran is in iraq any way because recently iranian general was killed. a full massive invasion so without iran nobody is willing to take any risk to enter into iraq. that's understandable, by the way. >> getting back to this court. where does this leave turkey?

i know there is concern there about the kurds and their growing desire for independence. what do they make of this? >> as you know the turkish government has been negotiating with the pkk for two and a half years. >> i'm going to have to interrupt you. we've got government reaction from japan on the hostage crisis. we are hearing one of two hostages may have been killed. let's go to harry fawcett who is in japan. what are you hearing about this? >> reporter: here in tokyo there has been a news conference given about the the kidnapping. they are now sating that not

saying that he is dead. they're calling for the immediate release of the man pictured in the latest images, holding a picture of what appears to be the dead body of the other captive. a freelance journalist who has been reporting from the region for many years and met uwkawa. ukawa is seen as a mentor and taught him how to operate in this region. head had emotional and family problems. he had gone to syria as a contractor and shows pictures of himself firing ak-47s and the like. according to his mother he left

japan in october just a couple of weeks after the bit of a young daughter because he felt that he had a chance of rescuing him from captivity. now we have these images of holding a picture of what appears to be the body of that fellow captive. but as i say the japanese government is not confirming that. they're trying to verify the nature of this latest information. they're calling this abominable and demanding the release. >> talk us through what has led up to this. we know that there was a call for $200 million from the japanese government. we know that japan has been involved in negotiations. do we know if any money has changed hands? we're also hearing that isil wants, instead of the money now they would rather have a

prisoner swap. what are you hearing about all that? >> well, that's right. there is a $200 million ransom called for by isil at the beginning of this on tuesday when they gave their 72 hour deadline. that's equivalent oh to the amount of money that the prime minister of japan pledged to countries involved in the battle against isil. it was money that was destined, they said, for humanitarian purposes, for dealing with the refugee crisis. they said there should be no misunderstanding on the part of isil. this is not destined for killing, as isil claims, women children, who were in the regions. what they're now say something that they want the release for the prisoner jailed in jordan for a bombing in 2005.

i'm not seeing a direct swapping of ransom money for the life of this man. whether his release would bring the release but if it does so it's a very different tactic. one that will keep this story potentially going for a while longer while the japanese government tries to assimilate this new information. they have the department foreign minister in japan in jordan where they have been coordinating earths to try to talk with the captors. they've been talking with tribal leaders and other governments. but according to the chief cabinet secretary there has yet to be direct coordination with the hostage takers. >> excuse me for interrupting, how long have they been dealing with this situation?

obviously the japanese have been devastated by this news. what does it say about japan's role from a growing military interest point of view? >> well, japan has been trying to play a more muscular role on the world stage. it's constitution would allow it to come to the aid of an ally under attack rather than just defending it's own territory as a last resort. that is a fairly major shift as japan looks at itself as a military power. they did make it clear that the japanese government did not feel it was legal to average any kind of military strike or military

operation against isil, that would include any attempt to rescue these hostages. certainly there is one body of opinion here in japan that this kind of more activist international foreign policy is more likely to put japanese people in the spotlight and potentially make them targets. i spoke to leader, and he said that japan has to see itself as a global power come what may. >> thank you for that, harry fawcett. we're hearing that the japanese top government official say that the apparent execution is outrageous one of two of hostages held by isil, but at the same time they are not confirming that he has been killed. let's leave the story for new.

a day after inheriting the crown be saudi arabia's king salman is expected to meet more heads of state. >> the dignitaries came to pay their respect for the leader who died and the half-brother who took his place. in keeping the tradition there was no former swearing in ceremony. leaders of state were able to meet the man who now leads the gulf's richest and influential nations. shortly after ascending the thrown, the new king said he would maintain the same policies as his predecessor predecessors. >> we're going to continue with the approach of father, king

abdulaziz who built the state and is followed by his son. we'll continue to implement the qur'an and the factor character of prophet mohammed. >> the crown prince was confirmed as immediate successor, and he appointed his nephew as deputy crown prince, second in line to the throne. prince nayef is now named as future heir. he is a powerful figure behind saudi security policies. >> he is an expert on counterterrorism and i think that's a signal that the king under king salman is going to be very focused on internal security and regional security. >> and the region in tradition king salman's reign begins with

isil and chaos in yemen. >> stay with us in the news hour. we have long lines and a longer wait. we are look at how venezuelans are struggle to go on taken basic goods. and in sport all the action later in the program. >> sovereign citizens the movement has been named america's number one domestic security threat. so who are they? and what do they want? >> the stream, on al jazeera america

>>tonight. >> visibility was 3 to 5 nautical miles. >> weathering the storm. >> we want to show people how to replace property against the

worst mother nature has to offer. >> experts forecast how to stay safe. >> i'm standing in a tropical windstorm. >> in extreme weather. >> oh my god. >> techknow's team of experts show you how the miracles of science... >> this is my selfie, what can you tell me about my future? >> can affect and surprise us. >> don't try this at home. >> "techknow" where technology meets humanity. tonight at 7:30 eastern. only on al jazeera america. >> hello again you're watching the al jazeera news hour. at least 27 people have been killed in rocket fire in the strategic port city of mariupol: 97 people were wounded. the rocket hit a crowded market. tens of thousands of people across yemen have been protesting against houthi rebels.

the minority shia group has taken control of the capitol of sanaa. a peshmerga leader said that he needs more ground troops. he said that the international community need to send reinforcements to help peshmerga forces. let's take to you greece where campaigning ahead of supplied's general election has officially come to an end. we're live from athens, sue what is the feeling there? the excitement, the fear, it's quite an important election and could radically change greece again. >> i'm not hearing a lot of excitement jane. i think there is a little bit of fear. the politics brought in by the current prime minister saying don't vote for the frontrunner

because they could take you into all kinds of areas. they're suggesting that they would go against the european lenders. the word out on the streets is that certainly things cannot get any worse. we're seeing how people are struggling, and how they're bringing in systems of their own to help the most needy including an alternative currency. basilis las goes out and asks for food. he wants to help those who have fallen on hard times, so he visits restaurant and bakeries for anything they have not thrown out. inside today's boxes are rice, pasta, and plenty of chips. he's one of a small army of

volunteers trying to make life a little easier for those who have lost everything in greece's economic troubles. this soup kitchen hands out a take away meal twice a day. it's not in the greek nature to take charity. more from the naught, the local community try to help their own. >> if you're jobless or if you've run out of euros if you need a teacher, electrician or someone to put new tires on your car, they brought in the bat bartering system that is done across the internet. thethe members receive credit that can be spent on the network. it has been going for five years and has a thousand members including doctors seamstresses, including electric engineers.

>> if we go back 50 years, 100 years back, people want to change oil exchange. the money bring us to this. >> savings can be substantial and the tax man has yet to figure out how to take his cut. >> the tax man they're not going to like it, but we do not exchange anything in euros. when we're in our own city, we're just exchangeing in a way our services, say. that's what it is. because i'll give you the job but i'll just donate a plumber today. he needs something for the air conditioning, so just the change changing. >> people here know if life does not improve under a new

government they have schemes in place to help the most needy. whether greece remains in the your eurozone or not they already have a greek currency. >> it's interesting to see how the economy will play out at the polls. >> at the moment the opinion polls are putting the radical left winger way ahead. there is a discrepancy of what we're hearing between 4.5% to 9%. 9% would mean that they would get an outright majority. but at the same time, the leader of the new democracy the prime minister he's saying 14% of people of the electorate are still undecided. really he's claiming there is still everything to play for and he's not buying that they have it in the bag if you like. however, if they don't win the overall majority they'll need a coalition partner to form a

government, and that coalition partners manyiering that it will be the independent greeks. the question is whether that coalition partner will temper the radical thinking of theirs and if they will bring them nor into line. if that's the case we may see them not so strident or radical. just a few hours left until we learn which way they decide to side they decide to swing. >> we go back to the breaking news. japanese government has been speaking out about these reports, and let's bring in harry fawcett in tokyo to tell what's they've been saying, harry?

>> they came before the cameras looking pretty emotional. they said if mr. ukawa has been killed. they're trying to a they want kate the images. mr. yukawa there has been a picture of a dead mr. yukawa. the images don't appear to carry the usual logo of the isil media arm, and they're somewhat different from the video. he's pictured in front of a

white wall, a white screen rather than in some sort of rocky desert scape as was the case with the video which was initially up loaded on tuesday. >> let's leave it there until we get some sort of confirmation. harry, thank you. >> in haiti the country's president met with council members. the delegation is there for a three-day visit aimed at bringing about long-delayed election. the provisional election council has been sworn in, but the country is still locked in political crisis. >> as the security council landed in haiti several thousand people march through the streets. the political turmoil is not over. the new electric traditional council may be worn in, but an election for new parliament is still months away, and these people say they won't be happy until the country's leader is forced from power.

>> he met the security council. for now he appears to have their support. >> we support the president in his efforts to find a solution to the political stalemate. >> what do you say to those who are still protesting in large numbers on the street mr. mr. president. >> people in a democracy are allowed to express themselves. this is the effect of the democracy. >> this is a very challenging time. the parliament is not sitting. and until all of the government is seen to be representing all of the haitian people that is likely to be fuel for unrest. because of security concerns the

u.n. security council while hear here in haiti has been protected. they won't get a chance to hear from ordinary haitians and hear views like this one. >> the president has created 45 different events, but he cannot create one election. >> the security council will have two days of meetings here. they're likely to learn that the crisis is far from over. >> brazil's government is warned that it's facing it's worst drought in 80 years. many have been effected. >> the bed of the river lies

cracked and burned. water levels have plunged under searing temperatures. >> we're experiencing the worst water crisis in the history of the southwest since the recording of the water levels began. >> the reservoir in saw paolo also provides water to the north. rationing has not been introduced even though parts of the country only have vital reserves left. >> the death volume is a strategic reserve. it won't be enough to get to the end of the year. it's urgent that measures are taken right now. they cannot be postponed. >> right now people are being charge first degree they use a lot of water and discounts if they use left. agriculture has been limited in the amount of water they get directly were rivers from rivers. >> if we don't receive the water trucks the factory has to stop.

the factory only works with a cold system, and it only works with water. >> there was a water shortage for several days, and today there was no electricity. >> the drought means hydroelectric power plans has barely enough water to operate. brazil is already having to import electricity from neighboring a.g. critics say that authorities did not react fast enough because they did not want to interrupt the election. >> egypt's president al sisi said he would like to see the case of three al jazeera journalists resolved. they have been in prison in egypt for 390 days. mohamed fahmy, bader mohammed, and peter greste were falsely accused of colluding with the muslim brotherhood. al jazeera continues to demand
