situation improves. the city has been under pro-government control since july when houthi rebels were forced out of it. well, there's more fighting in other parts of yepmen as hashem ahelbarra reports. >> reporter: an anmorred vehicle is hit by a rocket. this is the southern saudi arabia province along its border with yemen, where houthi fighters say they launched this attack to target saudi troops. [ explosion ] >> reporter: fighting has also intensified in the south central city of ta'izz. this is where the fight for the control of yemen will likely be decided. houthi fighters have put up fierce resistance here, despite losing crucial districts elsewhere. but other fighting continues, more people are killed and buildings are destroyed. >> translator: look at this. they have destroyed buildings,

killed children, women, and old people. they are destroying ta'izz. >> reporter: ta'izz is on the main highway that links the south to the capitol sana'a in the north. forces loyal to the exiled president hadi say retaking ta'izz is just a matter of time. >> translator: i tell the yemenese that despite the ongoing attacks by the houthis who are using rockets and heavy weapons, they assure that ta'izz will be dib rated soon. >> reporter: there is another front line in yemen's continuing conflict. pro-government fighters fire at houthi positions in the oil-rich province. yemeni soldiers trained in saudi arabia have recently been sent here with new weapons to recapture the city and secure oil and gas installations. this is what government forces are hoping to achieve. they are on the offensive to recapture the province of

ma'rib. they also say they have fighters ready to retake ta'izz. if they succeed in getting control of ta'izz and ma'rib hadi forces will push to retake the capitol. but that goal might not be easy. the houthis and force loyal to former president saleh, say they have deployed what they call an elite force in the mountains surrounding sana'a, to stop any advance by government troops. hasham is with me now. looking at your report, it's clear the situation on the ground in yemen is still pretty tense isn't it? >> it is. fighting continues in different part ts of the country, and forces loyal to exiled president hadi, are determined to continue the fight, and they want to defeat the houthis, but the

problems they have now, with the fighting continuing, lawlessness sets in, in different parts of the country like in aden where the international red cross decided to suspend its operations in the city. al-qaeda is expanding in different parts of the country, so a very delicate situation for yemen and the international community. >> what are the chances of coming to a ceasefire in -- in -- in -- in the next few days or weeks? >> the u.n. is hoping to have the two parties come to an agreement. so they have been talking to the houthis and force loyal to saleh in ahman, and they have been told that they are willing to negotiate a settlement. on the other hand, hadi is now against the houthis and he sees

his own forces about to capture the city of ta'izz. so he's saying i'll have to wait and see. >> they aren't going to stop, are they? >> exactly. and we have seen the latest developments on the ground which is basically hadi loyalists are pushing in ta'izz and then they will say the houthis are defeated and we are the ones to dictate the terms for the future. the houthis, now they have lost the south but now they are moving to the border with saudi arabia. we have seen them targeting saudi arabia over the last few days, saying you know what, we lost the south, but we can still target you in the west. >> hasham thank you. back to the conviction of eight police officers in south africa who were found guilty of murdering a man that handcuffed to a van and dragged behind it.

tanya what did the judge say when delivering the verdict against these eight police officers? >> reporter: well, it was a really damming conviction. he said that the police officers were liars; that some of the versions of events that they gave were quite frankly ridiculous. the police officers had tried to convince the court that before that really quite dramatic mobile phone footage was filmed that he assaulted one of the police officers. they said they felt threatened. that their lives were in danger by what they described were an angry mob. they said that not all of them were aware he had been handcuffed to the back of the vehicle, and they didn't realize it would result in serious harm. after being dragged for about 200 meters, they said he was fine and walked into the police

station by themselves, and they denied any assault. the judge simply did not believe that. and relied on the pathologist statement that some of the injuries he sustained to his head and body were the result of and an assault, and couldn't have happened from being dragged behind the vehicle. he died of internal injuries and inattorney your bleeding. >> how unusual is it for police officers to be held accountable for acts of violence in south africa? >> reporter: well it is really quite a commonly held belief here that police in south africa often use excessive force, they are poorly trained, they are not very well paid. it is often seen not to be a calling, but rather to be a means of employment. police accused only six months before the man was killed in the

police cell of using excessive force when they shot dead 34 striking miners. police officers were acquitted of killing a protester at a protest for better services, so there is generally a belief that police officers not only often use successive force but often get away with it. >> tanya many thanks. much more ahead here on the news hour. the united nations calls on europe to come together in the face of a refugee crisis. lebanon's cabinet holds an emergency meeting after a trash pileup turns into a political mess. an indy car driver justin wilson dies of a head injury following a racing crash. we'll have all of the details for you a little later in the sport. ♪

across china. when it comes to making investments the options for most chinese are pretty limited. property and shares. the problem now, though is that the prices of both are falling. a falling stock market and economy that's slowing. the owner of this restaurant says his takings are half what they were in june when the stock market began to fall, he says the landlord won't reduce the rent so he is closing next month. >> translator: my business is not doing well, mainly because the stock market is falling. many companies in this area have gone bankrupt. >> reporter: it is an anxious time and not everyone wants to talk. many people blame foreigners for manipulating china's stock market. this trading room is popular with pensioners who were encouraged by the government to buy shares. >> translator: i don't even dare to calculate how much i lost. the market keeps falling.

of economic politics and history at kingston university in london. we expects more volatility ahead. >> this is the signal of the beginning of a debt crisis that has been building up in china, since it had an exploding level of private debt starting back in 2009. this has been a crisis waiting to happen. it isn't just the stock market. it's going to be the property market and the economy as well. china's response to the global financial crisis back in 2008 was to step up domestic demand because of the collapse in their export demand. and they did that by encouraging as only the chinese government can, private lenders to lend to anybody in china. you had a dramatic increase in private financing, and that drive private debt from about 100% of gdp to 180% the beginning of this year, obviously understating the actual level of debt.

in that simply can't be sustained and that's now falling over. the chinese initial response was to encourage people into the share market. that's like encouraging people out of the frying pan into the fire. and now we're seeing that friar burning people who went into the debt. they used to say when america sneezed, the rest of the world caught a cold. that is the fear now with china. one country looking on nervously is australia. last year australian exports to china were worth $65 billion. nearly two-thirds of that was iron ore and coal, which china needed to fuel its construction growth. but as china's economy slows down, so does demand for those materials, and prices are tumbling. at the height of the boom iron ore peaked at $200 a ton. now it's just $52.

the price of coal has halved in that time. >> reporter: until recently australia's economy was known as the wonder down under. that's changed. commodity prices have collapsed, hitting australia hard. the downturn is felt in towns like singleton where restaurants have closed rents and house prices are down and shops are empty. this car dealer is still in business but has seen a 30% drop in sales and has been laying off staff. >> it's a real belt tightening time for us. we had 40 or 50 people four years ago and we're down to 25 or 30 people to keep the business afloat. >> reporter: the reason is singlet singlet singlet singleton economy is tied to the

coal industry. just a few years ago the industry was booming. no longer,est cysting mining are cutting back on production, proposed new mines are being put on hold, thousands are seeing cuts in wages or losing their jobs entirely. >> reporter: the biggest export, iron ore has seen his prices collapse even more. until earlier this year, robert was being flown to remote copper mines every two weeks where he worked, repairing machinery. he was told he lost his job by text message. >> my family is in shock. we're on a single income, and basically starting back over, looking -- handing out resumes and looking for work again on job sites and all of the rest of it, very hard. >> reporter: most economists don't think australia is on the verge of economic collapse, but

if the downturn starts to effect housing prices, australia could be in trouble. a lot of the country's wealth is bound up in property. >> if we were to see house prices fall and ongoing weakness in commodity prices, then australia would have some real problems. and the risk of recession would increase if the housing market weakens and house prices start to fall. >> reporter: the wonder down under isn't looking quite so wonderful. andrew thomas, al jazeera, singleton. u.s. stocks have bounced back after posting steep declines on monday due to global economic fears. the dow jones industrial opened with a strong advance after china cut its key interest rate. investors also welcomed news that u.s. consumer confidence rebounded this month. the united nations high commission for refugees has called on europe to come together to deal with its refugee crisis.

she says up to 3,000 refugees are expected each day in macedonia alone, and continuing violence in iraq and syria means the influx of people will continue, she said, for months. from macedonia, many people head north to serbia. andrew simmons is on the serbian side of that border. >> reporter: this is described as a one-stop center, the entrance into serbia for these people. so many of them, more than 10,000 passing through here in less than five days. they are intent on getting to hungary, an e.u. member state that has registered a hundred thousand people so far this year. that's more than double the entire amount for 2014. the crisis is getting deeper all the time. it is no exaggeration to say this is the biggest refugee crisis since the second world war. germany is really concerned about the situation, predicting that 800,000 asylum applications

will be made in one year alone. the politicians are trying to reach a coordinated approach, but they have failed so far. there's no doubt about that. the next step in the diplomatic wrinkle will be the summit in vienna on thursday when they will try to get an agreement. hungary wants more money for its operation there, and there is going to be some very hard talking. >> south sudan's president has indicated he will sign a peace deal power sharing accord. but it's not sure when he will put pen to paper. his rival signed the deal on monday, agreeing to end a civil war. he'll attend a meeting of regional leaders on wednesday, but violence continues. two aid workers have been killed in the country's unity state. our correspondent has the latest from juba. >> reporter: this is a very comprehensive document. it's the product of months and

months of negotiations and includes details such as what would be the makeup of a transitional government of national unity. the president would remain as the president of the government, but his former vice president, now leader of the opposition, would be returned into this new post. there is also a time line laid out for elections. there's a process of monitoring a ceasefire. and how they might go about rebuilding south sudan. but many issues are still quite contentious. i understand from talking to the spokesman early on that the president still has reservations about the document. we understanding that heads of state would arrive on wednesday, and this deal would be signed, now we're hearing it is going to be more of a negotiation.

the rebel leader's leading commanders have said that they wouldn't stop fighting even if the deal is signed, so there are still some question marks over this. calls for cautious optimism, but there is by no means a done deal. the united nations is meeting in new york to discuss whether or not to impose new sanctions on south sudan. let's go live there, gabe is with us. to what extent has the u.n. given the cautious optimism or is it perhaps hoping to apply a little pressure on the president to sign? >> well, the u.s. has been circulating a u.n. security council draft resolution since the middle of last week that would put targeted sanctions and an arms embargo against the country. the u.s. was hoping to move very fast on this, but it hasn't happened yet. it's clearly a pressure tactic

mostly lead by the u.s. we don't know how russia and china stand on this proposed resolution, but we did hear from the deputy russian ambassador to the u.n., who stopped to speak to us reporters for a few minutes. he said that given this is -- this resolution is a pressure tactic, now that this potentially could be signed on wednesday, he said perhaps this resolution isn't even needed anymore. now we failed to hear so far from the united states on their response to that, but clearly, there's a chance that the u.s. would still potentially want to keep this resolution on the table as a pressure tactic to see even if he signs this, even if it's signed, what happens after that to keep some pressure on the country in terms of implementing it. we did hear from the u.n. -- the head of mission to the u.n. to south sudan, she told the security council moments ago, she said even if this deal is signed it's only a first step,

peace, stability, prosperity will not come to south sudan overnight. >> gabe, the u.n. of course very involved on the ground in south sudan. many people still living under its protection there. >> it is. we heard from steven o'brien, the head of humanitarian affairs for the u.n. and he just got back from south sudan, and briefed the council, he said that 200,000 people are still living under u.n. protection in six different camps across the country. as of four months ago it was only 120,000. so in four months essentially 80,000 more are seeking u.n. protection. and he said there are now 2.2 internally displaced people in the country, and out of the 12 million population, 38% or about 4.6 million are facing food insecurity, he said, quote,

severe hunger is now a real threat. steven o'brien also spoke about horrific crimes being committed against innocent civilians, especially in the combat zones. >> i'm very concerned about the atrocities which continue to be reported. the scope and level of cruelty suggests a deep depth of antipathy that goes beyond political differences. allegations include rampant killing, rape, abduction, looting, arson, and forced displacement, and even such horrific acts as burn of people inside their own homes. >> reporter: civilians are clearly bearing the brunt of this. no doubt about that. but there are other two issues as well. o'brien said that 29 aid workers have lost their lives since fighting began in december 2013, 29. he also said that u.n. offices continue to be targeted for robberies. beyond that journalists as well.

we heard from the head of the mission in south sudan. journalists are also targeted, and seven have lost their lives this year alone. >> gabe many thanks. live at the u.n. still to come here on the news hour. myanmar loosens its laws on importing cars, but it has lead to this. we visit mexico's own version of silicon valley. the new frontier for tech startups. and usain bolt returns to the track in beijing. jo will be here with the details a little later in sport. ♪

removal of this concrete barrier or wall that was put up on monday to fortify the prime minister's headquarters after several days of violent protests. that meeting, however, was yet another example of the sessi session -- sectarian division that has crippled the country for years. six ministers walked out of the meeting because they were unable to agree on how to deal with the rubbish crisis and other issues. they are expecting other larger anti-government protests to take place. how those develop if the anti-government protest increase or if things die down is something people will be watching. as of now the garbage crisis still remains unsolved as does all of the other underlying problems like the corruption,

and the government incompetence and the deep-rooted anger across much of society. >> so the government has agreed that this new landfill, this waste site will be built, is that going to quell the people's protests? >> good evening, first. thank you for shedding light on this issue. we have been protesting for three or four weeks now and it culminated on saturday with the crackdown on civilians on mother and children, because this issue has been extremely contentious and they are not been able to reach an agreement on time. we still haven't reached an agreement because there isn't a consensus on the solution. the scientific solution does exist, and we have been demanding this before the summer and the heat wave and the crisis, so no, up until now we

do not see a resolution, and certainly not the demands that people have been screaming on the streets the last few weeks in beirut. >> so it's not just about the mounting pile of rubbish, is it? it's much wider than that? >> you know, the you stink campaign has unravelled a number of reasons why our system and our politicians stink. they stink in corruption. they stink in lack of transparency and violence and sectarian strife, and we saw what happened this weekend. the garbage issue has only uncovered an irreversible enthusiasm from citizens from all over lebanon to say we have had enough. we have been for three, four months in an electricity crisis, and citizens have taken the

streets, and others are gathering demanding accountability for police brutality on saturday and sunday in beirut. so what has started has become a snowball. >> what are we to make of the you stink campaign, it's not linked to a political party and has attracted support from across the sectarian divide in lebanon? >> you know, this is very unique to lebanon, because mass participation often comes at the demand and with the support of large political parties. you are very right, this is one of the very few times that an independent group of activists saying we want an immediate transparent and eco-friendly solution gathered this much support, and it just goes to show that this has been the trigger for waking up citizens from everywhere, and from all regions to say we have had enough. the sectarian corrupt

power-sharing system that is going to redivide once again scores of power. we have seen it over women's rights, employment, electricity, people have had enough. so the you stink campaign has woken up only a handful of people, but a lot of enthusiasm all over the country that is going to be very difficult to stop. and setting up a concrete wall between the cabinet between where our government meets and the citizens is only an indication that they are scared of what this movement can create, because it's grass roots and very spontaneous, and because people have had enough. >> many thanks indeed. assist important professor for public administration. 34 members of the pkk have been killed. the fighters died in air strikes in northern iraq's mountains.
