>> politicians in europe blame each other for not stopping the flooding of refugees on to european shores. air show disaster, the latest on the investigation and new rules for flying. and ebola eliminated? sierra leone reaches a milestone. after thousands of deaths officials release the last known ebola patient from the hospital. good evening, i'm antonio mora, this is al jazeera america. we begin with what already is being called black monday, and the volatility that took over financial markets around the world. it's already tuesday in asia and australia and trading is underway there. global investors are watching closely to see if monday's turbulence could continue.
9:02 pm
the chaos began in china after the shanghai index closed down more than 8% on monday, that triggered massive sell off. britbritain'sbritain's ftse indd largest interday point loss ever, on the new york stock exchange. , oil price is below $39 a barrel. that is their lowest in six years. mary snowy the news not so good. >> right, we're seeing more selling in tokyo. we are seeing nikkei down more than 3% which is roughly 600 point drop which of course is not a good sign for rest of the
9:03 pm
asian markets. >> the question of course is what is going to happen in the united states. we've seen the dow drop 10% in the past week. i know you were on the new york stock exchange, traders were concerned, how concerned should americans be? >> one thing we heard some comparisons being made to the 2008 financial crisis and one thing that was made clear, the conditions are different. in 2008 we saw the housing market collapse, some banks like lehman brothers collapse and that took down the u.s. economy with it. this is different. we have seen unemployment improve, 5.3%, housing market, overall economy is solid. this problem is not home grown. it's in china. so there was that argument being paid that the fundamentals are different. that hour did not stop the drama on wall street. as one trader put it, the day on wall street was nothing short of wild. the market was braced for stocks
9:04 pm
in the u.s. to sell off. after a record drop on china's largest stock exchange. but even veterans didn't see this one coming. within ten minutes of the opening bell the dow jones industrials fell more than 1,000 points. stocks traded higher as the day went on but still down more than 10% from the closing bell. that was met woo sigh of relief. >> always ultimately reflect the fundamentals and as we sit here today, august 24th, the fundamentals do not speak to a recession, do not speak to a credit freeze in the united states and therefore quality companies are okay to buy. >> reporter: the dramatic swings left everyone trying to figure out just what went wrong. worry over china's economy and what kind of ripple effects it would have on the u.s. were the dominant fears.
9:05 pm
oversupply and low demand. and then there's the federal reserve whether it will raise interest rates. if you actually think about it lower oil prices, lower commodity prices all of these things are a longer-term positive not only for the u.s. economy, but for global growth. so i do think, to some extent, we sort of need to look beyond this initial knee jerk reaction. >> adding to wall street's rocky ride is much of the trading done is computerized. contributing to the large swings throughout the day. what will happen now? all seem to agree more turbulence is on its way. of course everything wants to know, is the worst over? no one knows that. but with the traders i speak with after the closing today, they were all expecting the selling to continue into tomorrow. how steep is unknown and they say volatility is expected over the last weeks and perhaps months.
9:06 pm
>> thank you mary. joining us is jennifer harris, a senior in the council for u.s. china relations and state craft. jennifer good to see you. is this an overreaction what's going on in china? the conventional wisdom for months is their equity markets were over and above and how surprising is this? >> not surprising at all. in fact you are seeing the correction that many people were a little bit surprise they'd it took this long to see. and, you know, certainly it's being exacerbated with feedback loops with oil, question marks what the u.s. federal reserve's next move is going to be. but by no means should this come as a surprise to anyone. >> on the other hand, china has become a larger and larger part of the world economy. if the chinese economy is slowing, nobody knows, it could have worldwide implications.
9:07 pm
>> absolutely. any country as large and as systemic as china, will not be an isolated event. if it sputters. and that's why you've heard this administration in washington urge the chinese for some time to make this leap to becoming more of a domestic demand-driven economy. for too long china has been really the world's workshop. and certainly, if we know anything, it's that you know, in a post-financial crisis world no one should be looking to the u.s. consumer to be that consumer of last resort. we need new sources of demand and i think those are best coming from the markets in asia that have the surpluses and the savings to get. >> right and if the economy is slowing there, it will be hard for the asian consumer to power the world economy. there is a provocative piece in
9:08 pm
court, blaming, for your court, focusing ton united states and saying that the growing deficits in the u.s. are a big part of the problem. >> i would push back on that. to me, you know, this is what happens when money is artificially priced. and the u.s. in many ways is doing the rational thing by consuming a lot of money if money is artificially cheap. and the reason this money is artificially cheap has to do with chinese currency rates first and foremost. until the chinese government is willing to price money correctly in that country. country, i think snarl market response in the u.s. is to consume. again, this leads to the unsustainable deficits we had in the runup in 2008, and i think we should all be looking to prevent. >> talking about cheap money.
9:09 pm
that also leads us to the federal reserve and the fact that interest rates are at zero in this country. >> right. >> part of the, you know, conventional wisdom is that the fear that the fed would raise interest rates was part of what was driving the drop on wall street. but at this point i at this poit going to raise rates for quite a while? >> you certainly see the likes of larry summers coming out urging the fed to stay with low rates for just a little bit longer. i'm not sure that's wrong. the fed's mandate is obviously to solve for where the u.s. economy is going, not where it's been. and so i think there is a danger of being too reactive and being driven solely by today's market events rather than doing best to read the tea leaves. again when you have got a real absence of aggregate demand and source he of demand i think there's a good -- sources of
9:10 pm
demand i think there's a good argument leaving rates why they are . >> former treasury secretary larry summers had a pretty serious tweet. he actually said this reminded him of the bubble bursting or the tech bubble burst in the late '90s and the financial crisis of 2008 and that this could be a serious situation. do you agree with him or do you think he's overstating it? >> i think that's a bit overstated. one of the most striking differences with what we've seen in the last couple of days take hold in china is really what this bubble is being driven by. and the tech bubble in 2001 in the u.s. and i think a better comparison is actually the last bubble we saw with the shanghai index in 2007. these were both largely equity stories. what's different here is really, you know, the emergence of debt and the margin trading you're
9:11 pm
seeing as driving the recent volatility in the shanghai index. that is a little bit more concerning i think for china and the uptic in subscriptions, the number of new entrants that you see come into the chinese stock market i think could spell a little bit of the trickier political situation for chinese regime certainly than in 2007. but they still have a fair bit of fire power at their disposal in china. these are pretty sophisticated market actors. and i would be betting on the ability of the chinese government to find the tools that they need to come in and put a floor under this eventually. although i'm not sure we've seen the floor yet. i don't think that there's much risk of contagion along the likes of what we've seen in 2001 or certainly in 2008. >> let's hope your right,
9:12 pm
jennifer harris the council on foreign relations. good to have you with us. thanks. thank you. >> the british foreign secretary was in tehran to reopen their embassy there. measures should be there ahead of timeto so investments can flow as soon as the sanctions are lifted. south korean government says it will end propaganda broadcasts against the north, after an apology from the north. al jazeera's harry fawcett filed this report from seoul. >> after a session of talks lasting more than 33 hours the head of south korea's delegation called a 2:00 a.m. press conference. a land mime blast in the southern side of the demilitarized zone which maimed two south korean soldiers then
9:13 pm
escalated in restarting of south korea's cross-border loudspeakers was as he said at an end. >> north korea expresses regret at the incident where two south korean soldiers were ended. south korea will end all loudspeaker broadcasting from noon on the 25th of august. >> reporter: the talks had begun on saturday shortly after the passing of a 48 hour deadline placed by pyongyang. even as the talks went on south korea said the north had deployed 50 of its 70 submarines from their bases and doubled the artillery on the border. the south korean president park geun-hye maintained that is certainly how the expression of regret is being termed.
9:14 pm
both sides will obviously want to portray their are positions. doing everything they could to avoid a potentially dangerous military escalation. now comes the next test whether they can live up to the agreements made. arrange further talks as soon as possible. this time either in seoul or pyongyang. notably absent from the text any mention of the sanctions imposed by seoul after the sinking of a south korean warship in 2010. north korea may want to speak soon about lifting those. an assertion that will have to be judged over the coming months. harry fawcett, al jazeera, seoul. necessitating forces are now helping afghan troops pushing out i.s.i.l. troops, u.s. and
9:15 pm
i.s.i.l. forces have battled before. u.s. forces, weapons and vehicles were taken from afghan soldiers. the afghan army says 37 bl taliban fighters were killed in the strikes and another 40 wounded. the war in yemen appears to be intensifying, stepping up the attacks against rebels in the central province. nearly twice as many air strikes were launched than on a typical day. ground troops enough time to make a move on rebel strongholds in northern yemen. a new twist against i.s.i.l. in iraq. why some officials are telling the west to butt out. another human rights report puts a spotlight on the high number of foreigners being put to death in saudi arabia. arabia.

9:21 pm
known as the popular revolutionary forces, now one of the commanders of the forces feel there are attempts to stop them. >> translator: some western embassies should review their positions. we won't let anyone to interfere in our internal affairs. this is a red line. >> reporter: hadi al amry is an influential man. he has been leading the fight against i.s.i.l. amry also belongs to a political party that has a strong presence in parliament. >> translator: amry is number 1 man in the popular mobilization forces and prime minister abadi or anyone else cannot marginalize him. the force has become a military institution and the u.s. is worried about its force. it wants to control its power
9:22 pm
and numbers and has pressured abadi to do that. >> but the militias have become stronger than the state and the army. the popular revolutionary forces is said to number around 100,000 men. they were given official status by the government which pays their salaries. ing iin diyalla and other places, around another i.s.i.l. stronghold the city of fallujah, as well as on supply routes. it is expected to be a long fight. not just in anbar but to weaken the militias who have capitalized on the failings of the iraqi army. zeina khodr, al jazeera, baghdad. >> in our in context report tonight we are focusing on an alarming report, a spike in the number of executions.
9:23 pm
an amnesty international report, in the first two months of 2015, saudi arabia executed more than 215 people, average of 1 person every two days. of the more than 2,000 executions recorded since 1985, foreign nationals make up nearly half of them. that's especially alarming when you consider foreigners are only a third of saudi arabia's 30 million people. joining us from london is savad, saudi arabian researcher. it's good to see you. it's hard to know where to start. one person executed on average every other day. 30 years ago the saudis executed only 18 people in 1985. what has changed? >> it is unclear what has
9:24 pm
changed. what is basically clear is that the authorities are trying apparently to make a point out of the numbers of executions. in the last couple of years we've seen the number more or less steady around 90. but ever since august 2014 that number has skyrocketed and it is complete unclear why it has happened. needles tneedless to say. >> we don't know about north korea of course and it's not clear on china but china again is believed to execute far more people but fewer when you look at the population as a whole. have the saudis responded to any of the international concerns about what's going on. >> the way they have responded forever actually and in recent years and months is to basically repeat the generic lines that we only carry out executions in lines with international law and
9:25 pm
our own sherea law, after the strictest and thoroughest of judicial processes, et cetera, et cetera. but when you look at the record all that rhetoric actually doesn't match the record whatsoever. so basically there's not much value on what the saudis are saying. because in reality, the numbers, the facts contradict the rhetoric. >> the other sunni states in the gulf don't execute nearly as many people as saudi arabia. so again why this philosophical difference? >> you look at other muslim countries, obviously the record is very different. it's not about religion per se but about the authorities interpretation of part of that religion. if anything if the numbers have any logical or immediate cause to them, there has to be something external to the logic or the laws or traditions et cetera. it has to be something from the
9:26 pm
outside. some commentators have pointed that that might be the rise of i.s.i.s. for example. >> right and we should say that iran and iraq do execute peep in numbers that are relatively comparable to saudi arabia. but when you bring up i.s.i.l, people in saudi arabia are being publicly beheaded, their heads in some places are displayed in public. that's the kind of behavior that outraged the world against i.s.i.l. but here there's very little outrage against what is an important ally to the united states. >> that is very correct. that's the unfortunate hypocrisy that we have witnessed for decades to be honest with you. but the fact remains that we don't need an i.s.i.s. to compare saudi arabia to. we just need to basically compare saudi arabia to their own national laws and to what extent they are abiding by their international obligations. but to what extent is unfair trials whereby as you mentioned you have no lawyers you have
9:27 pm
no -- you don't even know what you're being charged with. the laws are so vague you don't know what's going on. and summary and trial executions behind or trials behind closed doors leading to an execution where your family doesn't know, you don't know when you're going to be executed and you're basically taken one night and the next day you're executed. it is grotesque really and it is really thoocial we haven' horrit seen the public executions that we should. >> thank you. europe's refusineurope's res boiling into uncertain future. and france bees to hono bestowso three brave americans. americans.

9:39 pm
apart from blaming greece? >> we have a meeting with some commissioners from the european union. >> but those words have been heard before and the fact is that little changes from these people aside from the speed of boarding trains like this one away from the people in the cities and towns of macedonia. and so is the political talking goes on in berlin, brussels and other european capitals, the reality here is after the violence on this border there is a primitive operations center and it will undoubtedly lead to more coming on this route, moving the humanitarian crisis further up to line to another country. andrew simmons, on the border of macedonia. asia, africa and the middle east fleeing conflict and poverty, they can apply for

9:49 pm
>> well i think today's news is wonderful news for the people of sierra leone. they've really met the challenge of the ebola outbreak through strong leadership, a very well coordinated national response, and strong participation in the communities. but the problem we have in west africa and especially in sierra leone at the moment we're still in the middle of the rainy season and there are areas of the country that we don't have contact with because the roads are cut off. until the rainy season ends we're not sure what the situation will be, with the people having fever and possibility of having them diagnosed with possible cases of ebola. today's great news, tomorrow starts the count down of 42 days. the vigilance as we just heard has got to continue. they can't relax now, they have got to go back to work tomorrow. >> do you think lessons have been learned in order to not see
9:50 pm
a repeat of last year's history in the future? >> some significant events happened in may of 2014, the very first case was a young lady who miscarried she survived and was linked to a traditional healer who practiced in the country of guinea and sierra leone. we know there is were 350 people who died of ebola that attended the traditional healer's funeral. still going around today ensuring there is safe burials that no one is allowed to touch a person that has died from fever or known ebola. they have really taken this community mobilization, community engagement to task and have been very successful with that. >> on the other hand, health care workers in west africa were decimated by the outbreak, they
9:51 pm
died in enormous numbers. is that going to be a problem if ebola rears its ugly head again? >> i hope not. we have seen sierra leone hit the hardest. they had 370 cases of ebola confirmed in health care workers, wo 21 o 221 of those hh care workers died. a lot of lessons have been learned. we've seen new training new approaches, a culture of safety start tot to be taught within the hospitals of sierra leone. the risk is very high. when a person comes into the hospital who has a fever and you don't know if they're diagnosed, they could be giving out millions of ebola particles. wear that person protective equipment, use soap and water and bleach to kill the virus. that level of vigilance and safety will have to continue for many, many more months not just
9:52 pm
in sierra leone but also liberia and guinea. >> while the patient released today seemed in good shape, a lot of survivors seem to be suffering from ongoing health problems. how serious are those issues? >> they are very serious. we've had over 13 and a half thousand cases of ebola in sierra leone, 4,000 died. that has left 9500 known ebola survivors in sierra leone. what we are finding in both west africa and also the survivors here in the u.s. there is a post-ebola syndrome. they've had vision problems hearing problems, joint strain, post-traumatic stress. mental problems. the number of staff are not trained sufficiently in sierra leone to address these post-ebola problems we've seen. they've set up a special center for post-ebola patients to go
9:53 pm
and be treated for problems we've seen. something similar has to happen in sierra leone and again, more staff has to be triend deal with thestrained to dealwith these p. >> dr. gavin skinner, good to have you with us. thank you. trying to make the most out of a small opportunity. a group of refugees is not allowing their condition to keep them from competing in the game they love. they love.
