development... >> we have an exclusive story tonight, and we go live... >> welcome to the news hour. i'm live from headquarters in doha. al jazeera calls for the release of its journalist arrested in germany under a warrant issued by egypt. >> the church in charleston has reopened for the first time since the shooting earlier this week that left nine dead. >> the greek cabinet holds an emergency meeting with the threat of a debt default looming large. >> the world marks the first

international yoga day but the idea isn't sitting well with everybody. >> al jazeera is calling for the immediate release of ahmed man sour its journalist detained in germany for egyptian authorities, accused of several crimes. >> ahmed man sour was detained at berlin airport as he waited to board a flight to doha. german police say he is accused of crimes, but they are alleged to have taken place in egypt. mansrur said it may have been due to a deal made during a

recent visit of al sisi. >> his lawyer says the arrest is politically motivate. >> it is in conceive automobile that of an innocent man doing his job he has two leading programs on al jazeera. >> he was sentenced in absentia to 15 years in president by die crow's criminal courts last year on the charge of torturing a lawyer on tahrir square in 2011. he wasn't in the country at the time of the alleged crime. it's because of these baseless charges that interpol rejected egyptian's request for an international arrest warrant against man sour.

peter greste was eventually released and deported home to australia, now he and his two colleagues mohamed fahmy and baher mohammed are facing a retrial. germany is urged to release mansour immediately. he said in a statement: mansour is one of the world's most respected journalists. ed 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 arab organization of human

rights and dozenses of other rights organizations condemned mansour's arrests. protestors gathered in berlin to show solidarity with the detained journalist and demand his release. he is one of the most renowned journalist. his arrest symbolizes foch more. it is the fear that democratic countries could start doing the arresting for a military regime. >> the arab organization for human rights has condemned mansour's arrest and called for his immediate release. germ the organization also says mansour confirmed that he had proof interpol did not have a warrant for his arrest. >> let's go to paul brennan outside the detention center in

berlin and joins us from there now. what more have you managed to gasoline about his arrest? >> well, he was arrested yesterday lunch time, saturday lunch time at airport in berlin just as he was about to board a flight to doha. the initial belief was that it was an interpol red notice, which is a notice which interpol issues to member countries in order to try to detain people wanted by a third party country but that understanding appears to have been misplaced. interpol we understand does not have any red notice outstanding against mr. mansour. this appears to be a bilateral arrangement between germany and egypt, egypt having made request for this arrest. mr. mansour is currently held in the state police building over my shoulder on the edge of berlin, but we've been told in the last hour that he's going to be moved to a prison overnight which is more into the center of

berlin, and then on monday morning, he will go before the attorney general and although there have been hearings in relation to this careless today sunday, they were more formality type hearings, just looking at the properness of the paperwork not actually going into any substantial way looking at the allegations, where as on monday, we'll have the attorney general involved, and the attorney general will look in more detail at the actual allegations and we hope make a formal decision as to whether or not mr. mansour's detention can be justified. it is entirely possible he could be freed tomorrow. >> potential this could flare up dip lope mattically, if not. >> well, yes. while the hope of course is that mr. mansour will be freed by the german authorities on that monday nevertheless, the allegations which he faces

although they're not sketched out, although they're not detailed with any great detail in the arrest warrant as we understand it, my understanding from one of the lawyers is that mr. mansour's accused of having harmed the reputation of egypt substantially, as well as this allegation which is strenuously denied of torture. now, the fact is that mr. mansour holds joint british and egyptian citizenship. that puts it into -- and then of course we've got the german authorities involved. we are on the brink of a real international incident here and of course, it's a very unwelcome spotlight for germany which obviously prides itself on sort of being at the heart of the european union and democratic process. >> that's the very latest there from berlin. >> to the united states, where the church that was the site of a deadly shooting reopened four days after a gunman killed the pastor and eight others.

♪ >> back in the emanuel a.m.e. church in charleston, south carolina, police investigating if there is a link between the gunman and a racist manifesto found on line. let's go live outside the church. an important moment for the community to come together and reflect on this terrible week that's just passed. >> it really is, very incredible sceneles outside the church. it is quiet a solemn scene but uplifting, as well with people cheering or chanting gospel songs. led me give you a scene of what it's like out here now. several hundred people and you said the church, people that were not able to get seats inside, the road has been blocked off so people can be outside and listen to what's happening inside the church via

big speakers that are out here. we see a wide cross section of society as everyone really coming together, as we know, it's a historically black church and a lot of the caucasian community is out here, showing support for the families of the nine people that were terribly killed. now we did see in the state capital in colombia an yesterday, saturday, a protest of over 1,000 people protesting a very controversial flag they say they want down. daryl boyles was shocked so had to take a picture of it. the confederate flag with symbol of racism to many still flies on the statehouse grounds in south carolina, just days after nine african-americans were killed inside a historic black church allegedly by a white man with racial grievances. the flag was used by the confederate army who fought to secede from the u.s. for among other things to keep slavery.

it was adopted by the coup clutch clan and the alleged shooter dylann roof also posed with it on photos seen on line. >> it's a symbol of hatred, it's disgusting despicable that we still have this flag flying on our state grounds. >> the flag can only be removed by the state let me lature. supporters saying keeping it flying is about free speech as honors at part of american history. the killings of charleston have again fueled debate of whether it's an appropriate symbol. >> i see disrespect. i see racism. >> on the other side of the capitol is a monument honoring former u.s. senator strom thurmond. he's nope in part for his long battle to try to block the 1964 civil rights act that gave blacks the right to share public facilities with whites. then there's the issue of current laws. the u.s. attorney general is

pursuing the shooting as a possible hate crime. some states call for tougher sentencing and penalties for crimes motivated by hate, but not here. this is only one of five states with no local hate crime legislation. many here say it's another symbol of a racially segregated past that still lives on. >> people who hate, people who have no real tie into humanity, they believe that freedom of speech gives them the right to say anything and not account for it. we have to change that. >> other residents here say race relations have improved. >> i can't speak for a black person but we've been dealing hear in our store for generations dealing with blacks and whites together, and we've never seen anything but, you know kindness. >> back at the scene of the crime, mourners hoping to out of

tragedy can come healing and a better racial understanding, and an end to any symbols no might prevent that. >> dozens of churches here in charleston all rank their bells at the same time, simultaneously the sign of solidarity, the people of this church who also saw people from all over the community coming out again to support the members of this church inside this mass that is going on right now. we did hear a church leader mention the shooting, but said they want to focus definitely on the families of the nine people that lost their lives. that is really the focus today focus on family, focus on coming together grieving, and trying to get through this tragedy that is still very fresh in everyone's hemry's here. back to you in doha. >> thank you. that's the scene of an emotional day in charleston. >> the afghan taliban seized control of a district in the

northern kundu province. the taliban mounted a major offensive over the summer. we have more from kabul. >> this is the front line. afghan army and police on one side of the river taliban on the other. the taliban controls the district, just a few kilometers from the capital kundu city. >> we don't have air support. we don't have proper weapons only m sins. if you fire three bullets the gun jams. we will fight the taliban to the last drop of blood. >> the fighting threatens the city home to thousands who fled nearby villages when the taliban started fighting in the province in april. the taliban takeover came hours

after a roadside bomb killed several people in southern afghanistan. many of them were children. >> those killed in this incident were my family members they've niece and my brother's lives. >> no one claimed responsibility for this attack, but the taliban routinely plants bombs along roads. the taliban attacked the police checkpoint in central afghanistan, killing six police officers. as the muslim holy month of ramadan begins, they keep pressure on afghan forces and the government, jennifer glasse, al jazeera kabul. >> we look at how the war in syria is affecting a small muslim community living in israeli-opened golan heights. >> i'm in baku where pressure on women to have sons could have great consequences for society. >> going from bad to worse

brazilians are losing faith in their national football team. >> to libya now. guards of held after abusing prisoners. let's go to the founder of a civil rights group joining us from beirut. what is your reaction to these videos? >> hello. of course, it's outrage this is unacceptable. i think that the main problem here is that violation of human rights is understood as only

being applicable to people who have not committed crimes is the main concern. human rights are sacred, whether you have committed a crime or not, and these are clear violations, and there should be accountability. there should be transparency from the government. now the government has already spoken out the minister of justice has said that these two guards were arrested. the minister of interior has a press conference and said that they would be held accountable. now the main issue is that the government should show some transparency in this accountability, and not hurricane it up like we always do because of -- and hold these guards accountable. >> clearly there needs to be an investigation now. the question is how deep will it run? >> i think we should keep the pressure up, because it's always been the case here things get hushed up because of certain

mythical pressure from one side or the other side. everybody puts pressure on the government to hush it up or to be lenient because unfortunately, government officials and security forces all belong to certain parties or have affiliations, so i think that we should keep the pressure up and demand for transparency from the government in these investigations and in accountability process. >> all right appreciate your perspective on this. >> the lebanese army said an unhand israeli drone crashed near a mountainous area. the region has a syrian rebel presence and has seen airstrikes by the government in the past. >> the saudi-led coalition

launched new airstrikes against yemen's houthi rebels in aden as battles continue for forces loyal to adou rabbo mansour hadi and houthis in taiz. there are six houthi and allied fighters killed. three houthis were killed by a roadside bomb. u.n. sponsored talks in geneva between the warring factions collapsed on friday. >> the druze community in the occupied golan heights fears for its safety. al-nusra is in control of the area. the druze say only one escape route remains open. last month, 20 druze were killed in idlib. >> there are 1.5 million druze spread across israel, jordan and viewed as her particulars by

al-qaeda and isil. in syria many fought for president assad's regime against the rebels. israel are calling for the army to intervene to protect their fellow druze. chair contemporary of middle east studies in the school of economic and political science says they are caught between two sides. >> one point must be made very clear is that israel is niche laying. they say look, we are the protectors of the druze community inside syria. the military establishment in israel has made it very clear that they would not allow any massacre against the druze community on the syrian israeli

side. they have made very clear that they are welcome to come to israel even though they are basically, they do not really want to exacerbate, aggravate the situation inside syria itself, but the reality is the druze community in syria now is caught between al-nusra on the one hand which has an extreme interpretation of islam and the major war taking place. they do not want to come across as supporting the syrian government. the druze community in syria has tried to be a neutral community not to take sides but now find themselves in the eye of the storm, because the opposition, the syrian opposition led by the elements particular of al-nusra are pushing hard. they have taken over idlib attacking another area where a sizeable druze community exists and now hodor. >> thailand is trying to curb

the illegal ivory trade trying to prove to an international body that its crackdown is making progress. we have this report now from bangkok. >> from huge tusks to small sculptures thousands register their ivory the weight, size and shape all documented, all 150 tons of it. it was part of a month long amnesty program under the countries new ivory act that started in january. >> african ivory is illegal in thailand. if people registered, they would not be charged. >> thigh people believe elephants are sacred and ivory products are also. we couldn't go to the extreme of curbing the trade but we started registration. >> trade of asian ivory is legal. it takes scientific equipment to determine the difference between

asian and african ivory. >> it is not only sacred to thais, they play a large role in regional culture. only male elephants free tusks. african i've representative makes its way here because demand is larger than the supply. >> freeland works to expose and combat illegal wildlife trafficking. they feel there should be a total ban on ivory trading in highland, because it's so difficult to tell the difference and it's a trade that is booming. >> we're seeing this growing demand in luxury items that are often wildlife products and often products from endangered species. because they're endangered, they are harder to get and therefore hold a high erstad at us. >> some buyers feel the registration will reduce the slaughter but side step blame.

>> we don't know the story behind the ivory we buy. someone sells it, we buy it. you can't blame the buyers. >> thailand is also used as a pass through country for regional trade. >> in the last three months, seven tons of african viewy was seized. activists feel this is a step down the path that curbs supply. some feel if the desire for ivory is not reduced through awareness, the supply will find its way to those who believe prestige can be purchased. al jazeera. bangkok. >> south korea reported three new cases of mers, up to 169. 25 have died so far. it's the biggest outbreak since it was first discovered in saudi arabia three years ago. >> people around the world are celebrating the first

yoga i feel works very subtly, it changes the way you think. >> the government is hoping the international day of yoga makes the ancient indian practice even more popular. >> just as there's more to yoga than complicated exercise moves there's more to yoga day some hoping it will boost the industry and country's image abroad. although it originates in india not everyone believes it's for them. >> for those spending time behind a desk, in sped of spreading it out on a yoga mat the day is used to encourage physical fitness. some minorities say the government is also using the occasion to impose hindu ream beliefs by making yoga day events mandatory for students and civil servants. >> i'm also a taxpayer. my money is not for the projection of a particular

religiousen. it is for the the welfare of the entire country. >> the government said yoga is not mandatory and yoga day is meant to promote a healthy lifestyle and image around the world. >> still ahead mali's government signs a peace deal with rebels but implementing may prove to be a challenge. >> mexico ghost houses, and how affordable homes meant for the working class have turned into a den of crime. >> sport coming in, korea's best performance from one of pakistan's spinners helps them to victory in sri lanka.

wounding him too. the israeli police describe the i want as a suspected terror attack and 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 police sources. they say the perpetrator shot the israel settler at point-blank range and remains at large. violence has increased in jerusalem and the west bank especially following the incident when a palestinian teenager from the 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 continued to rise after israel's 50 day war on

they raise up against the mali government and they sign again the agreement but it fails again. i think if the international community and the countries in the region and mali itself wants to address this problem it has to be solved from its roots from its problem from the main core. the problem is not only to sign a peace agreement and after 10 years or two years again you have got same problem. the main problem is to have their own independent state in the north because in 1960's, they have been forced to join mali, and since then, the taurag 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 their own state which is claiming and many, many people die for it and many people actually have been fled into refugee camps. we have got almost 1,000, 40,000

now outside suffering from all kinds of marginalization. the main solution is to solve the problem is to give them their own state. >> many of those affected by the conflict in mali live in drought stricken areas and are at risk of starvation. we report from the border with mauritania on the know mads who have been unable to reach grazing land because of the fighting. >> a cow that captain stand up anymore doesn't have long to live. he knows well the chance of survival for one of his last remaining cows. there's no hey or grass here for his cow to say graze on. he watched helplessly as they've died one by one. two years without rain in this part of northern mali have killed his only source of living. a younger nomad is facing the

the people say they have borne the brunt of the rebels and army trying to maintain control. >> there are better areas for grazing further inside mali, but the army there kills our people. there is no grass in mauritania. our animals are dying here. >> not far from here on the mauritania side of the border, livestock holders live a similar condition. >> the area used to be the last resort for them and that's because it used to receive more rain. now, they can't go there anymore for another reason, which is the lack of security. >> instead it's mali elders who cross, knowing they won't be able to find grass but at least can find security. al jazeera on the mali mauritania border. >> heavy rain in new zealand has caused major flooding in the

azerbaijan has one of the highest selective abortion rates in the world. according to the government in 2014, the ratio of girls to boys born was 100 to 115. >> there are lots of reasons why in azerbaijan selective abortion is quite common. this region culturally is quite male dominated. families are getting smaller which means fewer boys and as for prenatal 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 population imbalance huge number of missing women in society could lead to more prostitution, human trafficking and gender violence. those may be the challenges facing the next generation. al jazeera baku. >> greece presented new proposals to credit others to try to prevent a default on its debt. greek ministers including the finance minister arrived at a crucial cabinet meeting in athens. monday's summit is seen as one of the last chances to keep greece from defaulting, possibly leaving the euro zone. >> thousands marched in france in support of greece. athens has to repay $1.8 billion to the i.m.f. by the end of the
