6:00 am
> announcer: this is al jazeera. hello, welcome to the newshour. here from doha here is what is coming up in the next 60 minutes. a day after f.i.f.a. boss blatt where are quits the f.i.f.a. the investigation intensifieses. six more added to interpol's risk are. >> d.a.e.s.h. is a regional problem trending towards global implications the u.s. envoy to the
6:01 am
anti-i.s.i.s. mission backs fighting against the group greece's prime minister heads to brussels. can he convince the e.u. to strike a deal. president obama science into law legislation limiting the collection of private phone data. we begin with the latest developments in the f.i.f.a. corruption scandal. sepp blatter, the outgoing head of football is reportedly under investigation by the u.s. prosecutors and federal bureau of investigation. sepp blatter resigned on tuesday four days after winning re-election, defying critics. intero poll announced two former f.i.f.a. members and four corporate executives are wanted by the u.s. the charges against them include racket earring, conspiracy and
6:02 am
corruption. among them a jack warner a former f.i.f.a. member. crossing to zurich where f.i.f.a. has their headquarters for reaction laurence lee, to the interpol announcement. >> absolutely nothing, it's a slightly surreal atmosphere i must say. if you follow in europe is a sense of triumphantism, that we got him. and platter is going to go and yet in a way they haven't got him quite yet. he's at work. any number of questions about all this is when sepp blatter is about to go and what he will do in the meantime. why it was that he decided to resign that he wanted to carry on and if he replied that he'd done something wrong. there's no answers to the questions. the biggest question is where does f.i.f.a. go after this to try to restore some of its reputation.
6:03 am
i'm joined by jamie fuller of the campaign group new f.i.f.a. now. there's a lot of names put around as to who might create sepp blatter. do you think that the new - the next president of f.i.f.a. should come from inside or outside football? >> i think it will be difficult to have someone come in from outside football to lead football in that role, in a practical sense. i don't think that is the issue. i think the issue is how is this place going to be reformed. let's not forget it was days ago that 133 people voted to elect sepp blatter. we know we are dealing with a toxic culture. who will come in to lend transparency to f.i.f.a. that didn't exist now. >> we proposed in january and have been pushing through that there's an independent reform position and that is led by an
6:04 am
eminent person. and in their hands date day. >> that interests, someone of that stature. >> mitt romney did that with the i.o.c. but it's a bit of a dynamic between the first and the third world between the west and africa. it's like kofi annan. there's some gave and tank in the ambulances made. what needs to be done is to keep the corporate sponsors happy in a financially powerful global analysed power of football. >> i don't think it's a question of keeping it happy. they need to do what they were pushing last week which was to finish and engage. they have been calling for f.i.f.a. that is not good enough. they cannot reform itself. they need to come out and be clear. they need to lay down conditions about what is going to happen. >> you mentioned a schism that
6:05 am
demands reform what should the next president of f.i.f.a., in the developing world, do to ensure that football is developed from the grassroots upwards. >> we need to continue with the notions of pushing funding out to all parts of the world. we can't have a u.e.f.a. led f.i.f.a. focussing on the european football league. we need to make sure that the funds that go out go where they go. the new leader needs to continue on building. how long is it stay engine place for? >> personally i think sepp blatter should go as soon as possible. someone needs to ask mr sepp blatter the question of a minimum wait he hasn't
6:06 am
resigned. he just stated that he would not run. one can be cynical as to what his elections are. i don't think you can blame him for asking the question why is he trying to buy 10 months curiouser and curiouser as they say in the alice in wonder land world of f.i.f.a. >> laurence lee and his guest from zurich investigators are looking into corruption there were reports of new evidence apparently showing that blatter's deputy jerome knew of a 10 million bribe paid by south african officials to jack warner. f.i.f.a. denied valkko was involved, saying it was organised bay finance chief. the sports ministery will hold a press conference on that issue, and we cross live as and when it happens. other news and the u.s. ebb
6:07 am
envoy to the global coalition say all fighters in the group should fall under the authority of the iraqi government. general john alan has been speaking to the forum in doha. here is what he said. >> i describe the campaign as organised across five lines of effort. first as a military component to deny safe haven and deny security assistance. second, it's disrupting the flow of foreign fighters. third it's disrupting access to financial resources financially to d.a.e.s.h. and through the international financial system. the fourth is providing humanitarian relief and stabilization support. and timely countermessaging or defeating d.a.e.s.h. as an idea. >> let's cross to an author and expert on u.s. relations with the islamic world, joining us from the conference venue. so you heard john alan speak. what stood out for you, and what was offered that was different
6:08 am
from the coalition strategy over the the past 10 months or so. >> for me, what stood out, i thought it was an optimistic sentiment over how well the opposition is uniting around the goals. what he see on the ground and in the messaging space is not as rosy a picture as what was depicted. >> what needs to be done. what is it that needs to be done? clearly john allan, as you describe is optimistic. how do you translate that into practical steps on the ground? >> it's a difficult problem. in terms of the united states involvement we seem to have committed to a long-term low intensity involvement. i think high intensity shorter term would be better for us. the coalition - it would be better because the regional
6:09 am
partners need an opportunity to acknowledge, and by taking i.s.i.s. at a low intensity, we are not providing that let me ask you about something else john allan said, and he said that the - all anti- anti-islamic forces in iraq must fall under the iraqi government authority, is the iraqi government capable of taking that on, when it is accused by some of fomenting sectarianism? >> i think that was also very optimistic statement, as far as you know, any reasonable expectations. shia militias can't be involved it's destined to be disappointed. and pragmatically it's hard to see how this takes place without them. it does exacerbate the very problem that i.s.i.s. was able to support the creative power base. >> what needs to be done for a coherent strategy to involve. what is missing here.
6:10 am
>> i think that this is not a problem that will be solved strategically. we have a coalition of partners with different agendas. we grey we are against i.s.i.s., but don't agree on what should replace bashar al-assad in syria. you know as far as the strategy you know, each individual country has its own agenda, it's hard to put together a coherent strategy that fits needs and is damaging to i.s.i.s. >> thank you for joining us from doha. >> thank you you are with the al jazeera newshour coming up all right the international community is serious about a two-state solution frank criticism of israel by the u.s. president and coming up in sport,
6:11 am
we'll investigate the process to elect a new f.i.f.a. leader following sepp blatter's resignation. first, yemen's government in exile is prepared to attend a meeting in geneva to end the war. talks have been postponed once, but no new date has been set. our diplomatic editor james bays has more from the u.n. headquarters. >> taking place in a matter of hours, a u.n. security council meeting to discuss the situation in yemen. ahead of that meeting the government of yemen made an important announcement. a spokesman for president abd-rabbu mansour hadi told al jazeera that the government is prepared to go and have a meeting about the situation in geneva.
6:12 am
remember, there were supposed to be geneva peace talks last week. they had to be postponed. the government is saying if it attends a meeting there'll be consultations about the situation, not negotiations, because they say they'll only take part in negotiations with the houthis, if the houthis comply with existing u.n. security council resolution, and withdraw from all the areas that they have captured. i can tell you separately talks have taken place in recent days, that took place in muscat in oman. there a number of nations were represented. we know that the u.s. sent a senior official. we know the houthis were there. so a fresh effort from all parties to try to get the talks under way again. the u.n. would like the peace talks back under way. the u.n. making it clear that it would like a pause in the fighting in yemen. well the egyptian president abdul fatah al-sisi is in germany seeking to boost
6:13 am
economic ties. while some supporters turned up to great him, several protesters opposed his arrival. and the president of parliament has refused to meet him, citing a lack of democratic process in egypt. >> we'll cross to wolfgang in berlin a spokesperson for human rights watch. and they have been coming out with a statement against president abdul fatah al-sisi's visit to berlin. >> yes, human rights watch cannot understand why he gets the red carpet in germany, why so many high representatives like german chancellor angela merkel and the president is meeting him. if he is to talk in germany, it is important that they address purely the issues, currency issues, and to make the development of further relations
6:14 am
between the two countries on an improvement. >> let me ask you about that statement, human rights watch saying that angela merkel should address what you call pervasive human rights pervasion by his government. how likely is that? >> we think it is important that she does it. and did it with other representatives from other countries, and there's the opportunity for her to do this again to address it publicly at a press statement later today
6:16 am
6:17 am
coordinate, and emotions ranging from anger to grief. sank so quickly, and why is it that the captain and the chief engineer survived. these are some questions that the people wants answered. and, of course we are on course for this sadly becoming possibly the most serious accident in china in recent times. >> hundreds of migrants drifting in a boat have landed in the town of macquarie bank do you. it is where most of the persecuted rohingya live. it's not clear if the migrants on the boat are rohingya, they were stranded in a converted fishing boat. thousands of rohingya are leaving for india, travelling over land seen as a faster and safer way out than by boat. we met some of the newest arrivals in the indian city.
6:18 am
>> reporter: every day she leaves home with the hope of finding work. she's an ethnic rohingya coming to hyderabad last month, after escaping from bangladesh and arriving on foot. he says he's safe, but it has not been easy. >> translation: i can understand a bit of local languages, i can't understand them. that's why i'm not picked up. in the last month i had five days of work. >> reporter: other rohingya are settling into this camp. this man arrived three days ago from myanmar five days ago. >> translation: we have been tortured back home. we have relatives and thought
6:19 am
we'd be safe. more than 1700 of them have come to hyderabad. some that live in the camp are refugees with the united nations. others are not. companies are basic. most people are happy to give up comfort for safety. a few minutes away from the camp, this neighbourhood represents the hope that they come with representing a property is a sign of stability and acceptance by the wider community. as the unrest and violence grose, so does the number of rohingya. and that is testing some people's patience. >> the rohingya go for a daily wage. the second issue was about the house represent. in more and more they come in here. the housing started to go up.
6:20 am
>> like many of the locals they missed out on finding work today. in one. india's biggest cities, he's another face in the crowd. compared to so many others the journey to get here has been longer and harder greece's prime minister alexis tsipras is due in brussels for last-minute talk with european creditors, and is hoping to strike a deal to save his country from financial ruin the e.u. has its own plan. >> given what we know at the moment there appears to be three major differences between the proposal greeks submitted and that submitted by creditors. the biggest of the three seems to be that the greeks are proposing they spend no more than 1.5 billion on repaying
6:21 am
debt. that would rise that would double next year and rise there after. for now the greeks wants something of a reprieve. they want to limit how much of this economy which is struggling. they spend on repaying foreign debt. however, they are proposing that the greeks spend 6.5 billion beginning this year and this i think, would be a deal breaker for the greeks. if there's a reason the government was elected, it was to reschedule the debt so it will be repaid over a longer period of four years and lower the amount spent, so some money, some of the primary surplus will be spend on being reinvested in the economy to create growth and jobs. because there are two documents on the table, the greeks want it as the basis for talks, into today's euro working group meeting, a technical level meeting, but also in the meetings taking place this week
6:22 am
among miles per hours of the eurozone, and the third difference is a perceived revenue gap. the greeks think they'll have a revenue shortfall from taxes of about a billion. creditors think it will be twice that. they have to arrive at an agreement on how to plug the gap the u.s. president palay signed into law new legislation restricting the government's ability to collect phone records of americans. earlier the senate passed the freedom act overhauling surveillance laws. kimberley halkett explains more. >> reporter: a what the u sa freedom act does is restores the n.s.a. monitoring powers. no longer will the government record the date time length and phone number of american citizens making calls. instead private companies will do this private telephone companies. the other change is that now the u.s. government will have to in order to access the information
6:23 am
which it once could do automatically, it needed to get a court order from the foreign intelligence surveillance court. many are not celebrating the resumes, the a.c.l.u. saying when it comes to government surveillance intrusive tools are intact. it shows a shift in american attitudes. the fact that there was a debate is significant. for so many years the provisions that expired in the patriot act have been rubber-stamped. that was not the case. they lapsed for more than a day and a half and shows the shift in attitude. after september 11th attacks, men's were willing to trade privacy for increased security that is no longer the case with a younger generation of americans, less trusting of their government and more willing to change authority the where with richard with the latest on the weather across china - patterns there.
6:24 am
>> it's extreme. it's that time of year. these shots come from north-east china, where they've been hit by hail storms, the size of baseballs, i suppose you say. causing widespread damage i am not sure how you explain that to an insurance company. it's that time of year. the weather system sweeping out across the sea of japan, seeing heavy rain across the north. coming towards the south-west towards the yangtze river, where the ship "eastern star" capsized. if anything the weather system is moving further south, and will give particularly heavy rain but not in the same area i think the weather conditions will get better. >> let's go across the pacific to the united states. driving down the i-10, the missouri gogeing the view. wham that happens. lightning strike. lucky the driver of the car - that was the damage to the
6:25 am
adjoining bridge. i thought i'd their that time lapse. we then jump and you can see the tornado forming beneath it. interesting weather across the united states. as far as the forecast is concerned, one or two storms expected in the next day or so. >> you're with the newshour. still to come families of americans quailed in lion urge u.s. politicians to push for their release. >> also ahead south korea step up efforts to contain an outbreak of m.e.r.s. virus. >> here is what is coming up in sport. as one leader deports, a new one is announceded one of the biggest clubs. details later. details later.
6:27 am
hello again the top stories on the newshour the outgoing head of the football body sepp blatter is reportedly under investigation by the u.s. prosecutors and f.b.i. interpol put two former f.i.f.a. official and four corporate executives on a wanted list to face charges including racketeering and bribery the u.s. envoy says it's critical all forces battling the armed group in iraq come under the government's authority. john allan said i.s.i.l. is a regional problem with global
6:28 am
implications. >> a cap sized crew ship may be raised to find 400 missing patients. drilling holeses in the hull is another option. is sank with 400 elderly. one the show case events in new zealand, the under-20 world cup has been overshadowed by the f.i.f.a. matters. >> reporter: these are dark days for football's governing body f.i.f.a. wintry conditions are the least of the organizations concerns. fans are coming to watch with the resignation of f.i.f.a. president sepp blatter is what everyone is talking about. >> to be honest with you, he's corrupt. most of them are corrupt. there's no two ways about it. it's the best thing for the game in the future. this tournament is about showcasing the best up and coming talent in football.
6:29 am
all the attention is on the other side of the world. >> although members of f.i.f.a. reelected me it does not seem supported by everyone in football. >> blatter resigned less than a week after several f.i.f.a. officials were arrested on corruption charges. he was re-elected for a fifth term as president. sepp blatter is supposed to come to the latter stages. tournament. it seems unlikely now, and the host of the tournament new zealand football is not keen on hosting him. if he comes, it will be awkward on many fronts given that new zealand didn't vote for him initials are unashamedly happy he resigned. surprised at the time. great news this would have happened on friday. we shouldn't have gone through the shah aid.
6:30 am
ticket sales between qatar and portugal was lower than expected. that was more to do with the scandal. if f.i.f.a. officials were seen as abusing their power. future generations of fans may not have looked at the so-called beautiful game. a 12-hour curfew is in place in the nigeria city of maiduguri, after a bomb exploded at a cattle market killing at least 50 people. there has been no claim of responsibility, but there has been repeated attacks in north-east nigeria by boko haram in the democratic republic of congo at least five soldiers have been killed in the eastern city of goma. gunmen raided a depot monday night. three of the attackers were killed and 10 others captured. a local rebel group is believed to be behind the assault. >> u.s. president obama criticized binyamin netanyahu on israeli tv.
6:31 am
president obama said his position endangers israel's credibility. patty culhane has more. >> blunt criticism from president obama, speaking to an israeli reporter talking about the israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu, and is predisposed to think of security first, that perhaps he sees peace as naive and tend to see the worst possibilities as opposed to the best in his arab partners. his toughest talk came when he was asked about what the prime minister said, if he was re-elected there would be no 2-state solution. >> consistently his statements had suggested that there is the possibility of a palestinian state, but it has so many caveats, so many conditions that it is not realistic to think that those conditions be met any time in the near future. and so the danger here is that
6:32 am
israel losses credibility. already the international community does not believe that israel is serious about a 2-state solution. the statement the prime minister made compounded that belief that there's not a commitment there. >> so what is next? the u.s. president reiterated that he is re-evaluating the u.s. position at the u.n. security council where it protects israel from any sort of resolutions recognising the palestinian people or set a framework for negotiations. he said he didn't think now was the time to come up with a framework agreement, but wanted to see confidence-building measures in the region, he didn't say who it was, but pointed out that illegal settlement and the inability of people in the west bank to move freely cultural genocide is a
6:33 am
finding into canadian police men of forcibly separating aboriginal children and they were sent to residential cools to assimilate them to main dream canada. the system has been defunct. victims still carry emotional scars. >> they waited years to have their pain acknowledged. >> today i stand before you that -- and acknowledge that what took place in residential schools amounted to nothing more than cultural genocide. [ clapping ] it was nothing less than to a systematic and concerted attempt to extinguish the spirit f aboriginal people's. as survivors showed us, they have survived. >> for the indigenous people of canada, the first nations knew that this was a moment for tears and cheers. for more than 100 years
6:34 am
generations of children have been forced to residential school. they faced physical, sexual and emotional abuse, all in an effort, said the government. to civilize the indian. >> this has been a difficult, inspiring and painful journey for all of us. the residential school experience is clearly one of the darkest troubling chapters in our collective history. >> annie johnson spent 10 years in a school in british columbia. she left at the age of 15. 50 years on she carries emotional scars. >> the messages that they gave us, like we were heathens, pagans my way of life was no good. at five years old you believe everything that's told you. i'm 65 now, 60 years passed and i'm still deal with some of that stuff. >> reporter: so much is known about what happened in the schools because of a course case
6:35 am
won five years ago. part of the settlement was the establishment of a truth and reconciliation commission. that commission spent the last five years travelling the country, listening to testament of the survivors. everyone is lined up for a copy of the report. the report makes 94 recommendations, but the head of the assembly of first nation says it will mean nothing unless also action. >> the operative word is implementation and action. there's no sense having a report with recommendations and calls to action unless the government takes it seriously. it's thought more than 6,000 children died in the schools. the figure may be higher. record keeping was poor. the guilty could hide their secret. for many, they hope the report is not the end, but the beginning for them, their people and canada the south korean president says everything must be done to stop the spread of m.e.r.s.
6:36 am
south korean hospitals have set up guarantee zone to stop the spread of virus. distress diagnosed five cases, bringing the total to 30. >> m.e.r.s. cases have increased in two weeks after the first case was concerned. there were a lot of people worried about the situation, since two patients died. everything must be done to stop further spread. we are taking you live to south africa. there is the scene, where south african officials are speaking on the f.i.f.a. scandal. let's listen in. that's live from johannesburg. >> all of us join hands and have a united south africa, delivering this excellent world cup, delivering it together with all africans on the continent, together with all africans outside our continent, and see south africa hosting this as a
6:37 am
south africa repeating others in the united states brazil and elsewhere. they say this south africa is a home to all africans. thank you very much. let's all go out and celebrate. >> we marketed it. we wanted it. we argued for it with f.i.f.a. on the grounds that we thought it was important, it was time. it was time that the world cup came to africa. really, to make an affirmation, because of the assumption, you know the africans would not have the capacity to host a major turn. very demand of course, that you know the africans not yet, they have not yet grown up to be
6:38 am
able to do that. we were saying that we needed to make a firm statement. and that is wrong. the south africans from capable of responding to a challenge. >> so that is the scene going on in johannesburg where the south african sports ministery is holding a bres conference. investigators are looking into alleged corruption that linked into the 2012 world cup held in south africa at the time. we'll bring you news lines on al jazeera a little later moving on for now, it's billed as the new silk road. it's an special economic zone on the hina kazakhstan boarder. so far business is brisk. beijing allowed tourist and shoppers to across the boarder without a visa and buy duty free goods.
6:39 am
chinese tourists wanting to shop on the other side are not so happy. >> reporter: this is still frontier territory between kazakhstan and china. it's not the wild west. this is a free trade zone where barriers between chinese and central asians are breaking down. we used to fear the chinese - but for know good reason. now it's the opposite. in kazakhstan people were less trustsworthy. you come here and kleinees citizens work with any issue you may have. all you can hear is the sound of tape rapped around boxes and bags full of everything from bicycles and car tyres, clothe and building materials. this is a traders paradise, the new silk road. >> china has built malls and hotels for tourists to enjoy guilty free shopping. visa free.
6:40 am
they in vested $4 million. on the kazakh side chinese tourists can only by novelties. such as honey or flour. kazakhstan has little consumer goods and has spent less on development. experts believe official statistics complete the picture. >> if you compare the official trade turn over figures of china and kazakhstan there's a difference of five or 6 billion. the chinese are counting everything, and we are not counting part of trade. they are calling it unaccounted for trade. it's not unaccounted for, it's corruption. compared to other plans, the free trade zone is a drop in the ocean. nearby hundreds of thousands of railway cars transit from china to europe through the try port. this is where china's relentless expansion into kazakhstan and to
6:41 am
russian and european markets begins, there's no looking back. j general elections are taking place in turkey on sunday. the ruling party of president recep tayyip erdogan is expected to win again. but opposition parties are hoping to sfras their votes -- increase their votes by focussing on economic problems. we have this report from istanbul for the first time in many years turkey's opposition is trying to change its image. the main opposition, csp, is focussing on the economy, so is the national opposition part yes, the national movement or nhp. for both, the issues of secularism, religion, and nationalism is not the top priority. chp has been holding rallies like this across turkey, promising to improve people's
6:42 am
lives and increasing the minimum wage. this pensioner is happy. >> i don't know how the leader of the chp got it right. he's promising more money to us. the perption. >> reporter: the secretary-general of the chp has been touring the streets of istanbul, meeting and greeting potential voters. he says his party's campaign will resonate with voters. unemployment is as high as 6.5 million. it 10 million retired people are struggling to resign. 43 million are in death, what kind of economic picture does this present. >> the opposition message could appeal to voters, winning an election is unlikely. the ruling justice and developemnt party won every election since it came to power in 2002. the nhp failed to win enough votes. in the last general election
6:43 am
they won around 26% of the votes. voters were not sure about the opposition, and the failure. to appeal to some. some analysts believe the parties need to address some core beliefs such as secularism which alienated conservative voters. >> it only appeals strongly to a segment of the voters, and chp has to become a mass party that can appeal to, putting a vote to all segments of the voters, in a democratic sense and idea logical sense. >> reporter: the other main position the international movement is seen as ultra nationalist and opposeds a peace process with the kurds. opposition is unlikely to win, but hope their popularity will increase and they'll have more seats in parliament
6:44 am
just to bring you breaking news coming to us out of egypt. this is according to the reuters newsagency citing security sources saying gunmen on a motorcycle shot dead two members of egypt's tourism and antiquities police force, and a that took place on a road near the gaza pyramid. once again, gunmen killed to tourism police on a road to the giza pier maids according to security sources. we are monitoring that. in a moment we'll have the sportss for you including what impact the latest f.i.f.a. scandal has had on its brand, and that of their sponsors. robin has the details coming up.

6:48 am
taking the stand and saying he's stepping down. >> taking us through the process of how there would be a new election. it will take things that f.i.f.a. always took time. that there would be a snap election. he was looking in terms of definitely a period of four months. they look at reforming it. or how the election is run. and they were talking that it might go as far as march of next year. there were all kinds of things to be sorted out. for instance the intriguing situation. the u.e.f.a. president, or whether he will wait and bide his time. and giving back to prince alley, when he ran against sepp
6:49 am
blatter. there's a fair association. it's controversial if they coted for sepp blatter. they'll remain in charge. tell us what the process is now. if he's going to be in office what is he likely to do. is there a chance that won't be it case. >> i cannot see it happening, i cannot see sepp blatter being there in march. there were more things that very well may come out in the next few hours, days weeks. whether they are direct accusations against sepp blatter, or whether it's a case that his position is less tenable. he can't go to his office or his deck. that's where he is back at his deck. we have got to a situation where it's farcical. he's not welcome in countries like the under-20 world cup taking place in new zealand. he's not welcome there. he's not welcome in canada or
6:50 am
