thanks for joining "inside story." . >> announcer: this is al jazeera. hello and welcome to the newshour. live from our headquarters in doha. here is what is coming up over the next 60 minutes. a grim reality - the in the of displaced people around the -- the number of displaced people around the world reaches 60 million the u.n. warns the situation is not likely to improve. >> it hurt me. it hurt a lot of people hearing from the victim's family, a man suspected of a

deadly church shooting in south carolina appears in court he's one of afghanistan's powerful people. he is taking matters into his own hands to secure his province. plus, we meet an artist in myanmar who has his hands full as he honours his country's political prisoners. >> and i'll have all of your sport news as tiger woods slips up at the us open and fails to make the cut for the first time in nine years. hello. the united nations is warning that we are entering a dangerous new era. almost 60 million people were forced to leave their homes to escape war and persecution by the end of last year. that means every single minute eight people are forcibly displaced.

the u.n. says there are 19.5 million worldwide, another 38.2 million 38.2 million are displaced within their own country. 1.8 million people are seeking asylum. there has been a huge rise in the number of people forced from their homes. syria's war is the world's largest driver of displacement with 7.6 million internally displaced people and more than 3.8 million refugees. many syrians crossed the border into turkey and they are spending ramadan separated from family members due to fighting. >> ramadan is nice it is very different. my parents do not have food. it is difficult. >> translation: we are far away from our homeland we are sad.

our relatives are too far. it hurts being separated from them malaysia has welcomed many from syria. starting a new life in a foreign land can be tough. >> reporter: a room in a shared apartment is home. this is a syrian refugee arriving here over a year ago from damascus. the professor taught english literature in a number of the capital's prestigious universities before the troubles began and families and friends were killed. >> i saw the last day, the day of judgment in damascus. that was before i left syria. i saw people. i saw the faces of people. i saw the death. i saw that. >> abdul has many health issues. when he feels well, his love of teaching brings him here. the teachers and the children

are all refugees. the adult volunteers teach 130 students from the age of six to 17. more children would like to come. there's no room, and a long waiting list. malaysia is a signatory on un convention on the rights of the child. this country does not give free access to state schools for refugee children. this is one of the issues that those helping the refugees would like the government would focus on. >> the malaysian government moved the responsibility to u.n.h.c.r. it is in charge of doing the refugee status determination process, and once the process is finished, they'll provide some services, support to refugees. >> al jazeera approached the malaysian authorities and u.n.h.c.r. to comment on the status of refugees. they declined our request for an interview. there are 150,000 legally

registered refugees in malaysia. 90% come from myanmar, and less than 1% from syria. legal or not, refugees cannot work in this country. they find it difficult to rent property for their family, and rely on charity for food and clothes. the thought of returning home never enters his mind. >> what do you expect. of course i feel - i can't put it in words. i feel so bad. how things turned out in that country, in damascus. . >> let's discuss the situation of refugees and world refugee day and bring in mark the c.e.o. of ochl fan. thank for being with us. when you listen to the figures, 6 is displaced. you might be quite dishartened.

speaking from london, that's the equivalent about population in britain being displaced. when you see the burden faced by the individuals. many whom have been met in syria. and by the host countries in the neighbouring areas. you realise the scale of the challenge, and the importance of striving for political solutions and greater humanitarian. >> when you speak of political solutions, that's the problem. there's no political solutions for the war going on around the world. in the absence of that what needs to be done. >> just listening to you earlier broadcasting about broadcasting and the peace talks, you have a sense that if the global parties or other states outside the country are not going to put peace and suffering first, there's a real challenge for the

whole international community. diplomacy, continued negotiation, political pressure sanctions in some cases, all the issues have to be part of the political solution. in the meantime we need to do two things. the first is step up humanitarian assistance, because we are meeting a small share of those needs of the community. the second is we have to recognise with the scale of the crisis more of the developed nations of the world have to do more to take some of the refugees in greater numbers than they are doing. giving money enough when you have so many closed borders. >> and when you look ahead and think of the next 12 months let's say, what is your projection for refugees. are the numbers likely to rise? >> well we have 11 million

displaced people in syria. we don't see a solution and we haven't started to count the numbers in yemen. where millions have been on the move and would move internationally if they could. we don't see any sense that the numbers will reduce. i was in south sudan, and just felt what seemed to be the indifference of domestic political leaders to the suffering that this was causing to their people. you recognise that it's not just an internal issue, we've got to find the way international parties can put pressure and support groups striving for peace. >> you give the example of south sudan. obviously this is a crisis of epic proportions. any positive stories or trends that you can share with us. >> the positive stories are the amazing generosity of people to their neighbours, whether it's local people in south sudan, neighbours in lebanon, communities whose infrastructure

is being damaged and crushed by the pressure of new populations. but on the political front, we are seeing you know the failure of the world to put sufficient pressure on the parties promoting and supporting war. we see continued ignorance of the global treaties on the arms trade that ju reduce those trades. it's hard to be optimistic. in a few places you see signs of discussion, you can see amazing generosity of individuals and communities. >> thank you very much for joining us from london. we appreciate your time on al jazeera. >> thank you. >> the syrian observatory for human rights show rebels killed in fighting in aleppo. eight i.s.i.l. fighters died. rebel groups i.s.i.l. and the syrian government are battling for control of the province. look at the pictures showing fighting between rebels and

government forces near aleppo city. >> yemen's houthi rebels accused saudi arabia of sabotaging peace talks between them and the government in exile. talks collapsed on friday. the leader told reports that saudi arabia played a big role in preventing the talks from succeeding. >> translation: i would like to add that the influence of saudi arabia was obvious. when the yemeni parties were sitting at a table, the role of saudi arabia influence, blocking the dialogue and finding the solution became clear. after the dialogue stalled. they boosted obstruction efforts by waging attacks on yemeni people, and they intensified attacks, bringing it to a halt before it broke down, the houthi delegation was accused of not taking the process seriously. >> unfortunately, still the houthis don't comply with anything.

the geneva convention, the united nations they have not numerated their representative. they are not engaged with any consultation or frequent consultation. they are just sitting in the houthis, announcing every day, and every hour a new announcement. the u.n. a warning of a looming catastrophe in yemen. the agency is appealing for $1.6 billion to help millions of yemenis. in the latest fighting houthis rebels and forces loyal to the president shelled a civilian area in tiaz. millions do not have access to clean water, proper sanitation or health care there's out broke of dengue fever. we'll have more on the

humanitarian crisis. you have followed this. the u.n. appealing for 1.6 million, what has the response been to the international community, has any of the money filtered down on to the ground. >> at this stage they are only now starting to collect this money, and there's a concern they won't get enough. this is enough to take care of bare minimum needs in yemen. there are a lot of needs. i've covered yemen for many years and never heard people describe the situation as dire as they describe it now. it's a humanitarian catastrophe that they fear will happen. n.g.o. workers and yemenis say it's a catastrophe. the rates of malnutrition is some of the highest in the world. 2,000 children before the

crisis were malnourished. now there has been 150% increase in malnutrition cases in the past couple of months. the outbreak of dengue photograph u.n.i.c.e.f. - they say there's thousands that have been effected. this is something preventible if there's access to clean water. it's things like that that shows how bad the situation gets. while more aid workers have been able to get into the country in the last month or so the hope had been that as a result of these talks, there would be a pause in the fighting a ceasefire so a humanitarian corridor could be open. that has not happened. some i spoke to said "rook, we are suffering" this is a time of year we should be celebrating. nothing happened we are continuing to suffer. >> what about the situation in the rest of the country. >> it's bad all over the place now. it's bad in the capital, aden tiaz. in aden there's groups like

human rights watch and u.n.i.c.e.f. that criticized every party involved in the fighting. there are health care facilities and hospitals, so even in places where people were innocent victims can go to get health care they are not object go because the facilities come under attack. they are not taking sides in the politics, they are saying there needs to humanitarian pause. it is a country where 90% rely on imports. and with the blockade a lot of food, commercial goods are not getting in. aid agencies called for a lifting of the blockade so the commercial goods can resume getting into yemen, that has not happened. there's a real fear. >> thank you for giving us that

update. >> heavy rain brings india's financial capital mumbai to a stand still. plus... >> orthodox christianity like all russian religions was suppressed. no longer. a revived unions of conservative church and state is gathering strength. i'll be back later in the programme to scribe why some are not happy about this hosts chile runs wild in the copa america, that in sport a little later. first, the u.s. justice department saying it's treating the shooting of nine people in a church for black worshippers as a hate crime and an act of terrorism. dylann roof who confessed to the killings made his first court purposes and heard moving testimonies from the victims'

families. andy gallagher reports. >> reporter: appearing by video link and flanked by armed guards, in is dylann roof's first purposes in court, suspected of killing nine people from the emanuel a.m.e. church in charleston in what is known as a hate crime. as the victims addressed him directly, dylann roof showed no emotion. >> i forgive you. have mercy on your soul. you hurt me. you hurt a lot of people. may god forgive you. and i forgive you. >> reporter: the family members offered deepry emotional statements before dylann roof was led away. it's a testament that those who spoke in court afterward

-- offered forgiveness. they'll investigate whether this was an act of domestic terror. saying in a statement. this is what happened here, was designed to inflict terror on the community. if that was the intent, it hasn't worked. mother emanuel is the site of a city determined to heel together. >> this painful person came to this community with some crazy idea he would be able to divide, and all he did was make us more united and love each other even more. >> reporter: the case against dylann roof is complex. he faces a raft of charges, including the murders of nine innocent people, and for that he could face the death penalty. >> we want him to have the death penalty, it's the worse case i and the country has seen in a long time. we will fight in and fight this as hard as we can. charleston is a city in shock. one determined not to take the actions of one man come between them the u.s. president obama has

repeatedly called for urgent changes to gun ownership calls. patty culhane reports from washington. >> reporter: for the second time in two days, u.s. president obama made an impassioned plea for the country to change course. when it comes to gun control. speaking before a conference, the president said 11,000 americans were killed in 2013 due to gun violence. if congress passed expanding background checks after the shooting on newtown connecticut, and where 20 first-grade student were killed, that some of those people could have been saved and not all, but some, and is urging the american public to get involved. >> we have to have a conversation about it and fix this. ultimately, congress acts when the public insists on action. and we have seen how public opinion can change.

we have seen it on gay marriage. we see it beginning to change on climate change. we have to shift how we think about this issue. >> reporter: the president is focussing on public opinion because if you look at polls, the country is pretty much evenly split. for those that favour gun rights and those that favour more gun control legislation. at least 8 police officers have been killed in somali, in a country west of the capital mogadishu. police say the armed group al-shabab claimed responsibility for that attack . >> tuareg rebels are expected to sign a peace deal with the government in mali. the agreement focussing on better representation for the north. it fails to give the autonomy. persuading people to accept the deal is not easy. we have this report from the border between mali and morey tainia. >> reporter: they repeatedly said their goal is an

independent state. now they want people to accept less than that. it's clear the leaders of the tuareg's has a tough tack. >> we think this is the most we can get and with the world community's level of readiness. i think this is available to us for now. >> reporter: these are the same leaders who announce what they call the independent republic of azawad three years ago. several months later in burkina faso, they mali failed to discuss the demand the the treaty allows parliament in the north. a role in the region's security for armed movements. more economic and social development in the area. the rebels demanded mali's government spends 40% of its budget in the north. the current agreement is similar to previous agreements signed in 1992 and 2006.

most we talked to in this meeting are dissatisfied. >> it's clear that we have been forced to sign the agreement. i don't see a single point in it that served our interests. it's not good for the people, it's not good for our leaders either. >> the year-long negotiations involving 10 rounds of talks have been watched closely in the refugee camp. of the estimated 50,000 population, only a few thousand turned up to hear an explanation of the agreement. many stayed away in protest. others expressing rejection. >> the document does not respond to our demands. if they want the final solution they should separate us from mali. let us remain here. >> the first refugees arrived a quarter of a century ago. an entire generation has never seen their homeland. from how they see the new deal, they are not expected to return there soon.

to the u.s. where tropical depression bill is causing flooding through parts of the country. three people have been killed since rain began on thursday. the states of missouri and oklahoma were among the hardest hit. the national weather service says the storm is heading to west virgin. in india, two days of heavy rain brought the capital to a stand still. >> flooding from the monsoon river happens every year in july. this year has been excessive. 500mm, it's more than two weeks of rain fell on the city on friday turning it into o giant puddle. people walking waist deep in water in many areas of the city trying to get around. roads are impassable and the train system which is a link running from north to south was also off line because of flooding on the tracks.

thrived. today it's thriving. like his predecessor, this man views orthodoxy as fundamental. the affection is mutual. calling it a call from god. >> they need each. giving vladimir putin additional authority. legitimacy, yes. and because of - because the participating political. >> under the patronage, the church's influence is strengthening hard and soft power. offending religious feeling, leaders had a production banned for desecrating religious

registrations of nearly 290,000 people. what we have seen on a massive level is the regularization of migrants. we did this in the dominican republic on a scale and level never seen in this hemisphere. the department of the immigration modified school buses like these, parked at places across the country, ready to take thousands of people over the border. despite having spaces for these people, there's no major deportation order. more than 200,000 by some estimates are still at risk of deportation. the international organization for migration is pushing the country to extend the deadline. more come in the country. the local chief says regardless, nasty deportations are likely. . >> it's much more comply gated to go in and removing a huge population, contributing to the economy. but the threat remains every day individuals are being deported.
