the shooting the worst attack on a u.s. place of worship in decades. as you can see the community really binding together in an effort to deal with this very difficult tragedy that took place during the week. it's opened up plenty of emotions and revealed that race remains a deep fault line in america. president obama saying that the u.s. should closely examine its gun laws. let's speak to our correspondent outside the church as that service is going on. it's really brought the community together hasn't it? >> >> it has remarkable scenes outside of the church. i want to pan to get a sense of it. this is the overflow crowd. people who could not get a seat, are not members of the church

but came out to offer support. if you notice something it's a primarily caucasian or white crowd outside. of course, this is a predominantly african-american church. it really shows the community has been coming together. we've been listening to this service for the past half hour or so. at times it's been very, very quiet, almost like people are still in shock reflecting on what has transpired here over the last four days and other times very uplifting like it is right now as you can hear the goes tell music playing behind me. what we have and what we have seen out here is remarkable, complete strangers african-americans, whites that don't even know each other that are grieving, hugging each other, consoling each other in these very, very difficult times. this is a church that has an incredible amount of history as we've been saying for the last several days, people like booker t. washington, martin luther king have paled through the doors of this church, but clearly this service is one that

will be marked for reasons they did not expect or want. i can tell you inside, they're trying to make the best of a very difficult situation but lots of controversy of course, lots of disagreements in this part of the country about the confederate flag. about gun control those are going to be things discussed in the coming details or weeks today is not the day most people say here, today is a day to reflect and celebrate the lives of those killed. >> while all that is going on inside the church, outside the police are investigating if there is this link between the gunman dylann roof and a racist manifesto found on line. >> that's right. that manifesto that came out yesterday was linked to a website that apparently dylann roof registered. this is a manifesto that was littered with with racial

he theytheyepithets. he said he picked this church for the shooting because it does have such historical significance to the african-american community. >> as you can see the scene at the emanuel a.m.e. church one very much of community after the terrible events of the week before. thank you very much indeed. >> al jazeera's calling for the immediate release of its journalist detained in berlin at the request of egyptian authorities. german police say the warrant accuses him of several crimes.

they have this report. >> mansour was detained baiting to board a flight from doha. german place he is accused of several crimes alleged to have taken place in egypt. mansour says his arrest is not only unwarned and unjust but may be part of a secret deal made after egyptian penalty sisi's recent visit to germany. >> unfortunately, the german authorities are handling this is a very suspicious manager. raising questions on its involvement and how they are clap rating with the military regime in egypt. i'm sorry to hear the lawyer telling me that there is a possibility that there may have

been a secret deal that is related to me personally bailed on sisi's recent visit to germany. >> hills lawyer said his client's arrest is politically motivated. >> it is inconceivable to arrest an innocent man. he was just doing his job. he has two leading programs on al jazeera. >> sisi has such pressed dissent in egypt. may not have been prosecuted and in some cases sentenced to death since in the mohamed morsi was deposed two years ago. two al jazeera journalists were accused of being with the band group muslim brotherhood. one was released, two others face a retrial. since deposing egypt's first democratically arrested president, sisi hasn't held back from cracking down on journalists and free speech. several journalists were killed by the egyptian army during the early days of the coup and dozens remain behind bars. three al jazeera journalists were unjustly imprisoned for more than a year. peter greste was released and two others await trial. >> our network is the arab world's most watched has taken the brunt of this. other countries must not allow

themselves to be tools of this media oppression, least of all those that respect freedom of the media as does germany. mansour is one of the arab world's most respected journalists and must be released immediately. german politicians have come out in support of mansour the leader of the green party tweeted the german government must explain arrest of mansour in berlin. highly questionable. germany must not be sisi's henchman. the organization of human rights and dozens of other rights organizations condemned mansour's arrest. protestors gathered in berlin to show solidarity with the detained journalist and demand his release. mansour is one of the arab world's most renowned your. other countried could start doing the bidding of a regime

with little reward for free speech. >> the arab organization for human rights in the u.k. condemned his arrest and called for immediate release. it asked how germany can reconcile its arrest of a journalist. the organization says when mansour confirmed he had proof to interpol did not have a warrant for his arrest. let's go to berlin. paul what do we know about the reasons for the arrest? >> according to one of the lawyers for mr. mansour mr. alton has said today that the charges are sketchy. he's accused of having harmed the reputation of egypt and of torture and the warrant the document has been examined by

prosecutors today but not in any substantive way. they haven't looked at the contents, all they've been doing is looking at the paperwork and whether it is properly stamped for example examining the contents won't take place until monday when the matter is do to go before a judge. in the meantime, mansour remains in custody. he was arrested by the federal police, because they control the airports, now to state police custody. he is currently in a cell awaiting further hearing. >> i understand there has already been a hearing today. >> oh, that, yes there has. as i say just to look at the paperwork, and just establish that the paperwork is in order but not actually to look at the substantive contents of that paperwork. the difficulty is to try to establish the base of the arrest. there was talk about it being an

interpol request which is confusing. interpol doesn't have to issue an arrest warrant. that case has been politically motivated. mr. mansour in a video which he's been able to as far as his understanding, it's a direct bilateral issue between germany and egypt and if interpol is not actually involved. enough to the best of my knowledge, there isn't an extradition treaty between germany and egypt in place. that doesn't rule out the possibility that germany could send mr. mansour back to egypt if the judge and if the court decides that is a course of action to be taken.

>> all right paul, leave it there for a moment. >> the greek prime minister alexis tsipras has been speaking to european leaders about a debt deal ahead of the summit. there was a crucial meeting in athens. monday is seen as the last chance to keep greece defaulting on its loans. >> in france, thousands marched in support of greece saturday away athens has to repay $1.8 billion by the end of the month. hate to strike a deal with creditors by then to get bailout funds to repay the i.m.f. >> the greeks are trying everything they can to secure a deal. >> what's been going on is that the greeks have gone suddenly, the prime minister having to the russians. he had a meeting with putin the other day. the russians have made some

declarations that they are ready to help. there's that element. the whole geo politics of the region are very, very important in any decision making. throwing greece out of the euro and e.u. will have substantial repercussions. it's not the difference of just half a billion or a billion which is tiny in relation is that to everything else going on it's whether the european feel anyone is following the rules. if the greeks don't follow the rules, they have to worry about the rest of the euro zone. >> two prison guards have been arrested. it comes a day after video surfaced on line showing prisoners being kicked and beaten with a plastic rod. more than a dozen handcuffed inmates are crouched on the floor with their hands tied behind their backs. several palestinians were held

for taking part in battles against the lebanese army. >> the druze community fierce for its safety on the syrian side. the al-qaeda affiliated al-nusra front is in control of the area. only one escape route remains open. twenty druze were killed in the northern syrian province of idlib. >> still ahead i'm in baku where pressure on women to have sons could have great consequences for society.

control outside of the regional capitol. the taliban mount a major offensive over the summer. we have more now. >> this is the front line. afghan army and police on one side of the river the taliban on the other. the taliban controls the district just a few kilometers from the city. it's the first time it's been able to seize an entire district. this is the first year they are fighting on their own and they are struggling. we don't have air support. we only have ground troops. if you fire three bullets the gun jams. whatever we have, we will fight the taliban to the last drop of blood. >> it threatens the city now homes to thousands of families who fled nearby villages when the taliban started fighting in

the province in april. the takeover came hours after a roadside bomb killed several people in southern afghanistan many of them children. >> those killed were my family members, they've fuse, niece and my brothers wives. >> no one has claimed responsibility for this attack, but the taliban routinely makes such attacks. >> al shabab gunman attacked a security training base in the somali capitol. they set off a car bomb before storming the building. government forces have taken back control of the base and only four attackers were killed. the ministry said no security forces died.

>> u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon welcomed a long awaited peace deal in mali. many are calling for a corrective revolution. they say the agreement does not address the demands for real autonomy and rights. the algerian brokered treaty was signed saturday. it will give greater representation for rebels in contested northern areas. the deal will be monitored by the international community including france. the spokesman of the youth movement for justice and quality said the deal does not address the core of the problems. >> yes it's a step but doesn't address the main problems, asking for independent state or at least autonomy. the problem has been going for many decades and each 10 years they raise up against the molly government and sign again the

agreement, but it fails again. if the international community and the countries in the region and mali itself wants to address this problem it has to be involved from its roots from its problem the main core. the problem is not only to sign a peace agreement after 10 years or two years again, you have got the same problem. the main problem is to have their own independent state in the north because in 1960, it was forced to join mali and since then, they have been in revolution each two years so this is not the solution for the problem. the solution for the problem is to give them their own state. many, many people died for it and many actually have been fled into refugee camps. we have got almost 1,000 -- 40,000 suffering from all kinds of marginalization and saul

sorts of that kind. the main solution to solve the problem is to give them their own state. >> a group linked to islamic state of iraq and the levant claimed responsibility for a car bomb attack in sanna. two were killed outside a mosque used by houthi rebels saturday. seven others were injured. it is the second attack in a week on sanna that isil is behind. >> israel says a palestinian has stabbed a border policemen in the neck near the damascus gate in jerusalem. the officer shot his attacker and both men are now in serious condition in hospital. we have more from west jerusalem. >> according to the israeli police, a palestinian man stabbed an israeli border police outside jerusalem's old city on sunday morning critically wounding him. the border policeman was stabbed in the neck but also managed to fire at the attacker after he was stabbed critically wounding

him, too. the israeli police are describing the incident as a suspected terror attack. they say that the perpetrator is an 18-year-old palestinian from the west bank. this attack in jerusalem happened two days after an israeli settler was allegedly shot dead by a palestinian man in the occupied west bank and near the illegal settlement close to the police sources. they say the perpetrator shot the israeli settler at point-blank range and remains at large. violence has risen in jerusalem in the last year, especially following the incident when a palestinian teenager from the jerusalem neighborhood was burned alive in what was described as a revenge attack following the kidnapping and murder of three israeli sectors in the occupied west bank. that violence continues to rise

after israel's 50 day war on gaza last summer. >> the french foreign minister has warned israeli and the palestinian that the stalemate and peace talks risk setting the middle east conflict ablaze. lawrence was speaking in cairo where he met the president al sisi. he's trying to promote a french led piece initiative. he will meet benjamin netanyahu later on sunday. >> the israeli-palestinian issue is one of the make that reasons behind it. the idea is not for us to make peace, but to push the parties to make that peace possible. >> azerbaijan is the first host of the nag really a games. behind the glamour of the games

the culture is male dominated. families are getting smaller meaning fewer boys. as the technology to identify gender becomes more widely accessible, demand for selective abortion grows. >> lawmakers are doing what they can to tackle the problem. >> all women have the right to have an abortion, but to protect against sex selection, we wanted to ban abortion after three months without adoptive consent. i'm one of the biggest supporters of educating people because the law doesn't always solve the problem. >> working with vulnerable women, she says the problem runs deep. >> i think society needs to change its perception of women. the understanding that a girl brings evil to the world needs to change and overall, the perception of a woman's role in society has to change. >> the united nations warns that as well as a dangerous
