the challenge, determined to show that barbados can lead they way towards a more sustainable future ♪ ♪ this is al jazeera. hello, this is the news hour, live from london. coming up. the afghan taliban confirms the death of it's leader and announcing his successor. >> the aircraft part that could hold the answer to the mystery is taking to france for analysis. we will have the latest from the island where it was found. migrants pray for a way out of makeshift camps as extra security goes up to stop them reaching britain. plus.

>> you can even try. your own cough fib. >> death becomes big business in japan the cemetery space starts to run out. >> all of your sport including china's capitol and the city go head to head in the battle for the 2022 winter olympics. question of years of confusion the afghan taliban has confirmed that it's leader is in fact, dead. it hasn't said where or when he died. the taliban supreme council instead focusing on it's future. he has been acting as the deputy for the past three years. he has been notable for asserting his position by

standing up, who is in charge of the so called islamic state of levant. he told to back off from afghanistan. he served in the government as minister of civil aviation. al jazeera jennifer glass has this update for us from the afghan capitol. kabul. >> not clear what new changes we will see under the new taliban leader. the taliban sources tell us that he has been involved in making political decisions for the taliban over the last few years. now there are obviously two different areas of the taliban you have the political side. and the military side. the fighting has been quite serious, in this spring fighting season and over the last couple of weeks. just in the last couple of days fighters have taken dozens of villages in the north and a district in hellman province in the south as taliban fighters continue to fight across the

battlefield. now peace talks between taliban representatives and the afghan government, which was scheduled for friday, have been put on hold, but the government says they are hoping they will be rescheduled sometime soon. and people close to the new taliban leader were involved in the fist round of talks on july 7ing and that may be reason why the afghan government is optimist take peace talks will continue. the real question is what kind of control does the taliban leadership has over the fighters on the pattle field. the high peace council here, saying they hope that when they do get so the negotiating table, whoever sits down, will be able to speak for not just the political side of the taliban but also the military side of the taliban. especially now when the fighting is as it's most intense. so the taliban leader gone, a new leader in his place. a very very crucial time right now for the taliban and the afghan government. >> jennifer glass has more

now on the man who would rise to lead the taliban and become one of the world's most wanted men. >> he was the spiritual leader and commander of the taliban. famously reclusive only a few photographs of him exist. the fbi offers millions of dollars on communication of his whereabouts. usually on holidays or anniversaries it was never clear if they were really his words. as a young man, he was a fighter battling the soviet army during the 1980's. his confident described to al jazeera how he became the self-proclaimed amir of afghanistan. when the taliban was rising, they eventually chose him because he had people and

weapons to use. the second reason. >> his 30 fighters became thousands. the taliban took over in 1996. under his command the taliban established security, and order in a country ravaged by chaos and violence. stability came at a cost. the strict interpret station meant harsh punishment was meeted out. he allowed al quaida leader a refuge and freedom to operate in afghanistan, it was a close and mutually beneficial relationship, ben laden swore allegiance to him. the bond became familial, and his son married his daughter. the september lebanon attacks in 2001, to which al quaida claimed responsibility, shifted american attacks firmly on to afghanistan.

expelling his guest would have violated hospitality in society. a united states led coalition launch add full scale war, with the aim of destroying al quaida, after four years he directed an increasingly violent war. then his successor. the roadside bombings targeting nato forces became their hallmarks. the taliban medicares virtually impossible to govern. in recent years there has been overtures to the taliban. and after years of saying they would never negotiate with what they called a puppet government, they sat down with government officials. >> although omar was nowhere to be seen, but an online

message endorsed the negations. by then reports suggest he had long been dead, but it is gaining new political life, and now it has a new leader. jennifer glass, al jazeera kabul. >> the chair of contemporary middle east studies of economics. joins me in the studio now. jennifer glass was saying in her report, that moll la omar hasn't been seen for years. despite that, his perceived presence was extremely important to the group what does that tell us about his significance to the taliban as a movement, both spiritually and as a man that led since its inception? >> in the 1990's up to the present. a figure larger than life who was the glue that kept it together. unifying the movement, even though he was not seen in public but he was a saint. no one could disagree with him, he was feared a lot at the same time. really the taliban is now

facing a watershed moment. the changing of the guard. will the new leader, be able to fill the shoes will he be able to unify the movement. he was really a unifying figure and he was there forever, as you said. for almost went years. >> the taliban for a long time hasn't been held a very -- he was almost symbol tick the group a mythical figure. but he hadn't played a direct role in the operations of the group, so therefore can we conclude that this won't necessarily deal them a serious blow? because it's always been decentralized in the way that it functions in. >> i think you are raising a very important point. he was left to be in charge of operations a day-to-day operations. in fact, it was man sewer who was the acting leader of the taliban. so this is -- this particular calling is not having a new leadership. he is already in charge, he

was very close. the only alarming part. it has always been fragmented. they are basic in units and the movement, the only aarm laking point, a there was really fierce position to the appointment of masseur as the supreme leader. it is seen as he emphasizes to much other afghanistan. to the opposition to him is two pronged. that he is a crony of pakistan and too much of a moderate within the overall movement. >> so, what happens now if there is opposition to masoor's appointment? do we see further splintering

further fragmentation? maybe militias forming that fight each other, as well as the government? does it make the taliban weaker. >> i think there are two challenges facing the new leader. the first is will he be able to unify the movement? will he be able to close ranks. the second is will he be able to consolidate his power given the opposition to him. and keep in mind, for the last few months the so called isis or islamic state has been making major end roads. dozens of taliban have basically switched loyalties joined isis because they believe that the taliban is not as determined is not as determined to fight as isis. so if masoor does not succeed in bridging the divide among the various points of view, you might have isis makes major end roads and as you

said, more fragmentation within the taliban. >> thank you for your analysis. appreciate it. now moving to our other top story, malaysia civil aviation chief has thrown to france to analyze a piece of debris that could belong to the missing 370. where the wing component that was found is due to arrive on saturday. the debris washed up on the island east of madagascar earlier this week. malaysia said it is almost certainly part of a boeing 777. this is the most credible lead that we have to date. of any part of the aircraft that we can locate or we can identify. so pray that our visit and our investigation will come to a fruitful jut come.

al jazeera has this update now from the island where the debris was found. this could help solve one of the greatest aviation history. it disappeared seemingly without a trace last march. but if this piece is linked to that doomed flight, what will it tell us? potentially not very much, because this is a part of the wing that isn't the black box flight recorder ands then't a part of the plane'ses engine but it will help confirm to those scouring part of the ocean out there, that they are looking in the right place, because some of the original modeling showing that a part of the debris could have come this far by this time. and that will help disspell some of the quite wild conspiracy theories that a squirrel around this plane's disappearance. that in turn, will lead to some closure for the families. >> now pitchers have emerged

of the aftermath of what appeared to be an aerial bomb. they say the government began attacking the area in the country's northwest on wednesday. it is thought the attack was in response to a rebel group offensive where fighters tried to advance on government held areas. houthis nighters were ever driven out last week, in the first significant ground victory after months of fighting. a spokesman said the government would then be returned to sanneh for the talks were successful. but it would got the houthis out ifs in. >> israel's parliament has passed a controversial law allowing -- the bill was passed with a majority of six votes. israel's own medical association have condemned the move, both consider force

feeding a form of structure. stephanie decker has more outside of jerusalem. >> statistics show that the majority of prisoners on hunger strike, are in detention. many get taken here to the prison, what does that mean? that means being held without charge and those that support these hunger strikes will tell you it is the only means the prisoners have to put pressures on the authorities to charge them or let them go there's also been a huge backlash, urging all doctors not to partake in this and says that it goes against all medical ethics. i think there might be suspicious on our side that we are being used. as tools or as somebody who feels out a punishment to political prisoners or prisoners who have complained

and the hunger striking and we are the tools in the hands oif state the israeli medical association will now petition the high court to try to get it overruled however it goes goes to show how upset they are at this new law. no hunger striking prisoner has ever died but there have been cases of prisoners being killed because they were force fed. >> . >> police suspect a jewish man is responsible for the attack. march has long been a source of tension between the community, who object to public display of homo sexuality. police say the man they believe responsible was released from prison earlier this month. after a similar attack in 2005. there is much still ahead u.s. dairy farmers the potential competition from the pacific rim.

also outrage over an american tourist reaches and u.s.' president's office. and in sport tom brady takes deflate-gate to court he receive add reminder from the sky. this and the rest of the sport a bit later. a british prime minister david come ran has been criticized for using the word swarm to describe the number of migrants trying to enter britain. 4,000 attempts this week alone. barnabie phillips reports. >> british workman are in france reinforcing defenses around the euro tunnel complex. they hope this will be enough to keep migrants out and stop them from boarding trucks and trains to try and get across the channel. in britain the newspaper are

shrill, something must be done to keep migrants out the french are not up to the job is the sentiments. the prime minister sensitive to the mood at home used perhaps insensitive language to describe the situation. this is very testy. and i accept that, because you have a swarm of people coming across the mediterranean, seeking a better life. wanting to come to britain because britain has jobs it has a growing economy. it is an incredible place to live. but we need to protect our borders by working hand in glove with our neighbors and that's exactly what we are doing. this is the existing fence, and you can see reinforced barbed wire, more at the top but look here, it does look as if some people have portioned their way through cut open the wire, a sign that says danger of death in several african asian middle eastern languages warning people not to go through but beyond there's more barbed wire and then a second fence.

and again reinforcements a the top of the second fence so you have to be really really determined to try to get through here and try to board one of those trains like the one that is going past right now. >> shortly afterward as team arrived to repair the hole, and so the game of cat and mouse goes on. the real action laps after dark, when the migrants hope will it be easier to get across undetected although on this occasion, the police manage to keep them out. >> outside the hospital. >> they have tried to jump on to a ship to england and flipped. >> he has been well treated in the hospital. >> i will try again this is

my dream i don't stop for that, i will try one two three. no one who has come this for is easily deterred. this group included syrians and sudanese. they didn't get across this time they too will surely try again. barnabie phillips al jazeera. >> the british prime minister has been accused of dehumanizeing the plight of migrants. thank you for speaking to us. you have listened to the comments the language used by the british prime minister,

how do you -- are you concerned about the approach to this? whether -- how will it be tackled in the coming months. >> we think that the situation in calley is a real refugee crisis. not because of the number of people involved, but because of the failure of europe, britain, and france, in this case to deal with this situation. the situation is part of the wider european crisis. many of those people have already travels through europe, before they reached cally, and many have crossed before they arrived there. we think that we need to find ways for countries to work together rather than think that this is the problem of somebody else. how do you do that? as you point out, we are talking about people refugees who are fleeing places like syria, and failed states

countries, that are in a great deal of turmoil right now, but really, the priority the european government is certainly the priority here in the u.k., is to protect it's borders. there are legitimate concerns but europe can't simply hope to leave behind barriers and walls and fences. this has not worked in the past and it is unlikely to work in the future. in our view, what we need is to establish legal orderly ways safe ways for refugees to come the europe. so those who are in most need those who are in need of resettlement, can come into europe, and that way those who are in most need, will be the ones who come rather than those who are surviving or have the means to pay smugglers to come. we don't think it is the

right approach, we would like to see more help to those that are hosting the vast majority of refugees. in the case of syrian refugees that's jordan, lebanon, turkey, in the case of refugees from africa, that is ethiopia and kenya these people desperate lined help. 90% are in developing countries we should help refugees where they are. give them protection where they are so they don't need to come on these long dangerous journeys and puts themselves in the hands of smugglers to find potential in europe thank you very much from the united nations, thank you. >> ministers from a dozen pacific rim countries are locked in talks in hawaii trying to reach a deal on an ambition free trade agreement support ever supporters say it will unlock markets people

who have been demonstrating say negotiations have been too secretive. some of the biggest beneficiaries will likely be u.s. farmers. 15% of that output sold and con can assumed by other countries. frank who runs the farm with his family is well aware that worldwide sales have an impact on the prices he gets from his local dairy customers. we renting a country whether it is being exported here or somewhere else, it is still supply and demand. >> that's why the u.s. dairy industry is closely watching the outcome of the transpacific partnership with two key rivals.

he sees the prospect of boosting to more than just his family. >> as production increases or whether it was over commodity that is means more jobs and a boost to those rural economies as well. >> joe logan raises cowed too, but he take as skeptical can view of the trade deal. >> we have these rules set up to benefit the corporations that have expanded to a transnational footprint. they can to very well for ever themselves by maximizing the amount of global commerce that occurs. regardless of the impact upon the con can assuming public or the producing public. >> and logan points to issue crucial to farmer which is

says the treaty negotiators are either bypassing or failing to give enough attention. >> you have currency, back taxes, labor standards you have environmental standards you can make a ealey heavy lift for american agriculture. >> whether or not it is good for farmers here, they are just one economic sector out of many that will need to be satisfied with the deal that determines the course of 40% of the world's trade. al jazeera ohio. let's head live, andrew the talks are continuing but as you are hearing they are not everyone thinks this deal would be a good thing what is behind the september similar? let me give you an idea of the geography here. the hotel right behind me, is where the trade ministers are meeting. the western hotel on the island of maude we, a luxury hotel right on the beach. the beach is the closest bit of public land to that hotel.

so where the secret talks are going on, so that is where protestors are gathering to make their displeasure heard and they had about 400 people on the beach blowing horning banging drugs and trying to disrupt the talks. they certainly made it clear that they were not happy with what was going on in the hotel behind them, their complaints were many and varied. some are concerns that jobs would get lost in higher paying countries. others were concerns that the price of medicine will go up. under this deal, it is not just about tariff regulation, it is also about the architecture of trade about legal laws and patents. they are going to get potential calais under this deal to give an ink senttive to pharmaceutical companies to develop new drugs. but of course they are

lengthened that that makes them more expensive because that brings down the price of medicines and in poorer countries that can deny access to existing medicines to many many people that is a real concern of many people here in hawaii, and to the more broadly around the world. so those are complaints environmental standards people don't think enough attention is being paid to those as well, a lot of complaints locally here in hawaii but others are flown in from across the u.s. to take part in the demonstration to make clear they are not happy with it. is anything being done to address these concerns is that part of the discussion at all. >> well, it is hard to know exactly what is part of the discussions because they are all happening in secret. you can't have frank and free discussions if everyone knows what is being discussed but the secrecy is a big area of

complaint there shall certainly people that have their own reservations and it isn't just the active trade ministers that are commenting on it, the former labor secretary, has been an online video that has gone viral says he wants congress to slap down this deal when it comes to them. if something is agreed in principal, because he doesn't think enough attention is being payed to the views of ordinary people, likewise, the former head of the world trade organization. he is not here. he is quoted on friday as saying that the t.t.p. gains will be much more modest than is being advertised. he thinks they are overcharged at the lowest common denominator. you have to remember there's a lot f opolitics here as well. this is about asserting the united states presence in the asia pacific. but it is not involved in these talks.

the t.p.p. can change the story of a rise in china and a declining america is the headline so that gives you an idea that the t.p.p. is about politics about combating this idea that china is getting all powerful and the united states wants to set the rules of trade. it is scheduled to be a press conference on friday, we are a day behind australia confusing calais, so tomorrow hawaii time, there could be a press conference to announce something. but even that, any deal would need to be agreed by national governments. those talks are still on going in paw we. much more here for you, 23 people are killed as a truck crashes into a group of pill grams in mexico, we will bring you that story.

also looking at food supplies can the chinese be convinced to embrace the hunger. olympic officials from all over to decide the fate of the 2022 winter games. that story and much more a bit later on.

petition and get 100,000 people to sign that petition, in the set period of time, i believe it is 30 days. 60 days. then they will get an official response from the administration. so it sounds as though this particular petition has reached that threshold so there will be a forthcoming response. the thing i will say is that as a general matter, is that decisions about prosecution and extradition are made over the department of justice. >> the government says families who fled from political unrest are returning. but the u.n. says more ever than 1,000 are still in camps in neighboring democratic republic of congo. too scared to return. reports now near the border with rwanda. >> she says she went to a refugee camp in rwanda, because she was afraid. she is one of thousands of people who fled during the recent violence surrounding a controversy election, she and others have now started to

return home. >> there is no war so i came back the camp was not good. but i am scared i heard some people are being harassed by those who stays. they are angry we have gone away. >> those who are returning come back to this. >> neighbors say they took advantage of the situation they broke down the door and then came inside. they then through room by room looking for whatever they could steal. furniture. >> from the 2005 election, is a reminder of the first election after the civil war when the president won his first term. he recent calais won a third after months of violence, and despite a constitutional rule limiting him to two terms. government officials say people are coming back, and security has been secured. >> yes a lot of people are coming back. many have walked from neighboring. people have started coming

back. >> but the united nations has more than 100,000 people are still in refugee camps. refugees are now returning. so the government may have the definition that these are refugees but for us, those who had asked for their protection of other countries as a refugees. and for those we are not -- we are monitoring the situation many people know the crisis isn't over, the proposed government, which including some opposition leaders may not work, it may be a long time before everyone has left, returned home. al jazeera in mexico, at least 23 people have been

the rival bits are very different, with major pros and cons for both cities. we will take a look at them both starting with beijing. the games of the 29 in 2008, are awarded to the city of beijing. it is a scene that china repeats itself. when they won the 2008 summer olympics. a milestone spending $40 billion getting ready for the summer games. like many, she was proud back then, but her house was demolished during the massive construction leading up to the games seven years ago. her protests led to years behind bars and disability because of beatings while detained. she thinks the international olympic committee has a responsible to not to award the games to beijing.

i don't think china has a right to honest another olympics. we have raise add concern to the international olympic committee, but they always turn a blind eye to our suffering. >> last month a small group of tibetans protested outside the meeting in switzerland. where china was presenting details of the bid. jet similar is not all about china's haw moon rights record there's concern over where the downhill skiing events would be held. it is in an area that doesn't get much snow, there would be a heavy reliance on man made snow which require as lot of water putting added stress on an area that already needs more water than it has. the winter games won't be as big as the summer olympics but they plan to spend $4 billion and create 200,000 jobs. like the birds nest, it would

host the opening and closingser momentnies. beijing isn't nobody for it's sports but hosting the games would be good for the movement. and inspired more than 300 million chinese. >> of course i support the bidding for the winter olympics. it is our country's pride. every sports event during the 2008 olympics and if beijing holds the winter olympics i will watch every event again. >> human rights group say if they grant beijing the winter games they would be ignoring history. the olympic organization says it is reforming after previous corruption controversies. and will make the host city sign a contract pledging to uphold human rights and not to discriminate. if beijing does land the games the i.o.c. is betting that china will honor it's end of the deal. al jazeera, beijing. >> with the main concern is

events taking place within a 30-kilometer radius. 30% are ready and that would increase by 2017 when they host the winter university games. >> i.o.c. members fear the falling prices could effect the record. we are concerned about the freedom of expression. freedom of peaceful assembly, freedom of organization, freedom from torture. and freedom of death. >> in the 1950's, but since the independence in the early 90's kazakhstan hasn't been very successful in the winter olympics. they have woman won seven medals. >> these teenagers plan to reverse the olympic porches in 2022. >> yes, i can win the games
