♪ and four months after a devastating earthquake, nepal honors victims in its annual festival of the dead. hello, i am in doha, i'll have all your sport including breaking the bank. manchester city signed the belgian international for $85 million nearly a year after advertise discarded by chelsea. ♪ ♪ hello, we begin this news hour in south sudan where rebels and the army are accusing each other of violating a ceasefire just hours after it came in to effect. the fighting has been centered on the unity and upper nile states with both sides saying their positions have been attacked. well, south sudan has been at war since december 2013 when the former vice president led a rebellion against the president, the man who had sacked him.

since then 10s of thousands of people have died and more than 2 million others have fled their homes. the president signed the latest peace deal on wednesday. a deal which included a power sharing agreement, a ceasefire and both sides taking responsibility for the war. the former vice president signed it nine days earlier. al jazerra's anna has more from juba. >> reporter: there have been credible reports today that the ceasefire in south sudan has been violat violated just hoursr it came in on effect. al jazerra spoke to the president's spokesperson who claims that it was the rebel side, the opposition, who were the aggressors. >> well, it is a blaming game on the side of the rebels. the rebels did not have ceasefire until yesterday. thus the rebel leader declared permanent ceasefire. and there is a question whether the former vice president really controls them simply because the last two months, the last two weeks or so, the 13 commanders

denounce him and maybe these are the people that are still carrying out the fight because they say they will not honor what he says. >> reporter: so their part the opposition claim it's them who has been attacked by the government force as long the river nile. but what today has really shown is the very great need for a monitoring mechanism in place. at the moment it's almost impossible to say who was the aggressor and who is responsible for violating this peace deal. >> all right fox, more on this am joined now by joseph, he is a writer and commentator on after an affairs. good to have you with us in the studio. the ceasefire has certainly been violated. it's been breached. but do you think the ceasefire deal is now over? >> it's probably not. the rebel side have said that they will be making a statement tomorrow, monday. one. but two, as the ceasefire is coming in to effect yesterday, hours before the timing already the skirmishes were continuing.

it may just be a continuation that cross ahead cross the border of the ceasefire. >> why to the skirmishes continue? we heard the president's own spokesperson suggest that go there are splits within the rebel factions. is it a fact that he doesn't have control of those fighting in his name? >> that's interesting. because if it was the government side would be able to take responsibility these are renegade forces and not necessarily part of their problem and it would not necessarily be a breach of the ceasefire. quite clearly it's the case that the government's side was not happy with until, he took more than a week to return to -- to put his signature to it. i think the deal brings almost a mini kind of status quo. juba sees this as perhaps of a bit of a win-win for the opposition and perhaps a reward to them. but interestingly,. [ inaudible ] they are rather worried because it includes the withdrawal of ugandan forces

that the position had been insisting on. and i think the president believe fist perhaps this happening, which i think is the right thing to happen for both sudan and uganda anyway, they will be in a weaker position and be compelled to deal and engage in a political process rather than a military process. >> so you feel that the government is basically thinking the deal that it eventually signed up to is a bad deal. are you actually saying that you believe that the president actually would like to see the ceasefire deal breakdown? >> i would not be surprised. and i am not suggesting that. because unfortunately the hands are relatively tied. remember when progra barack obaa visited it recently. he instructed some of the key players, including the regional players, including the leaders of uganda and others who are basically. [ inaudible ] most importantly both parties are being told look, you either resolve this quickly, which i think is extremely important, or we take action against you. the terms up to 4 million south

sudaneses literally leave by the grace of god. perhaps this means we don't take this particular conflict slightly more seriously. although for the first time in a very long time the international community has come in. i think they need to reign on this case and make sure they sign this -- or rather whatever has been signed is maintained. >> are there observers, monitors in the country looking at what is going on? >> that's very interesting. one of the issues the government side is saying is that the gap likely to be created within the next 45 to 60 days when the ugandan forces move is likely bound to be a point -- they are saying it's up to the responsibility for the sponsors of this process to guarantee this process. which i think is quite unfortunate. we hope that as soon as the kenyan forces come in, as soon as the. [ inaudible ] forces come in who are relatively neutral and perhaps. [ inaudible ] may be -- if this thing holds over the next 60 or so days it's possible that they might be just about the future. both sides don't have any option

but really to resolve the thing one way or another. >> for ordinary people, many of whom might not have any political affiliation the situation is for you desperate. >> not only that, by way, amongst these people there are reports that some of the guys, the party to his this particular conflict who are so tired of war they are actually regretting that they waste the last 13 years fighting for a cause that is. [ inaudible ] some of the words they are using is on the ground are very strong, they are extremely frustrated and very worried. i think the vast majority of south sue he su he sudanese peoe have been betrayed by people pushing for political power. if they continue in this way, maybe some of those guys, the source of the problem may be isolated. >> interesting. and very sad situation, joseph, thanks so much for talking to us and giving us your knowledge. >> thank you. still to come on this news hour from london, rebuilding their lives. we are going to meet the nigerian farmers who are finally returning to their farms after being forced out by thieves.

been on the streets of koala lumpur. he said they must reject any form of street protests. referring to the political situation he said they will never allow anyone to walk in and destroyed all that they have built up. the comments came in response to the protesters who have been on the streets for 34 hours demanding his resignation. they converged on the center of koala lumpur in the 10s of thousands. calling spot resignation of prime minister. it hasn't happened yet, but the leaders of the so-called bersih movement say their protest can still be called a success. >> in the name of parliament, yeah, for them to -- the pressure is on parliament for them to inning anyone parliament. and this is really a message, a signal to the prime minister that he need to go. >> reporter: bersih means clean.

and the protesters say the prime minister is anything but. as well as electoral and general reform, they want him arrested on corruption charges. last month allegations surfaced that they had taken almost $700 million from the state investment fund. which he denies. >> they would like it if he would step down, but i think most of the public realize that's not in their hands. >> reporter: this protest was also about the changing face of politics in this country. malaise form the majority of the population, but most of the demonstrators were young ethnic chinese who are increasingly becoming more politically active. 20 ford-year-ol24-year-old ava r friends are more informed than older generations and therefore they feel emboldened. >> just try to voice our opinion we know that we all know the news from the different parts, not only for the newspaper and on like and maybe international website. >> reporter: they are alsoing fighting for freedom of speech and the right to did he scent. in fact this rally was declared

illegal by the government because prior permission wasn't granted. the deputy prime minister has said action will be taken in the days ahead. >> the people are tired. the necessary i think is clear, so i don't understand what the deputy prime minister is trying to -- what kind of statement he's trying to do. is he threatening the people? i don't know. >> reporter: previous political rallies have ended in clouds of tier gas but this was a peaceful gathering of malaysians who want to see change. well, it's certainly not the end for this protest movement. its leaders are vowing to continue the fight until they zero form. but the same coalition has run malaysia for 58 years. and that change may not come so easy. in tokyo, 10s of thousands of people have been protesting against planned new laws which will allow the military toy fight abroad. japan's constitution says force can only be used in self-defense. the prime minister wants the military to be able to defends

allies under attack. many japanese oppose the plan because the country has had a paspacifist policy since the enf world war ii. human rights organizations saying changes in asylum in hungary will encourage more to smuggle. they want them to return to serbia i can't where they crossed. they say it will further it's mantle the asylum process in hundred gare. andrew simmons joins us live from butt budapest. they are saying they will have to rely people smugglers to continue their journey through europe. >> reporter: that's right, felicity. look at this situation. it's meant to be the approach to a railway station, a public walkway, but it is completely populated by these poor people who have traveled, some of them, four to five countries, syrians, most of them, here to wait to

hope to get to various parts of europe, such as germany, such as austria. such as france and sweden. that is not the case, they can't travel because they don't have visas. and various organizations, such as the international office of migration, there are other organizations advocacy groupings who are accusing the government here of not allowing these people their rights. if you look up there, that is one of the three major rail stations in this european capital. the people are banned from going in there, and get on the ground those trains. for now, this is home for people who left war zones looking for sanctuary, and they can go no further. many weren't warned not to buy international rail tickets, police stopped them from boarding trains. this syrian mother spent the last of her savings on nonrefundable tickets.

now she regrets not paying people smugglers instead. >> translator: i feel angry. all countries helped us exempt hungary. macedonia let us cross. they let us use the train going to serbia. every day we walked hours to reach the border and my feet became swollen. i had to carry my baby all the way. i am exhausted. >> reporter: she has little help. there are only a few volunteers giving advice to the refugees. >> we cannot only blame the smugglers, because we are giving an incentive for the smugglers, giving them better and better business by not letting these people take a train. >> reporter: hungary's government is ignoring all crit civil about how they are handling this cries i it stands accused of stripping the rights of refugees and it's preparing a raft of new legislation that could mean thousands of refugees are spent back to serbia. near all the refugees have

crossed from serbia. hungary is defining its neighbor as a safe third country, one of several changes. >> any asylum seeker who crossed serbia will have no valid claim in hungary it will be rejected at first sight without considering anything, without considering my will he theft war in syria, afghanistan or iraq. >> reporter: most of the efforts to help refugees are voluntary. here donated produce is being prepared to feed more than 1,500 people. >> i just couldn't stay at home and see what's going on. we, all of us here feel that we are human beings and we should respect and treat these refugees as other fellow human beings. so that they will not feel that they are treated as animals and terrorists. >> reporter: the hungry are grateful for the hem. but it's going to get worse for them there are plan to his clear so-called transit zones like this, and enclose people in

fenced off areas away from the public. these people came a long way to end up like this. and it could hardly be described as sanctuary or refuge. >> so, andrew, what sort of response has there been from the government to the criticism about its plan changes. >> reporter: well, they say basically that the travel issue, this is the ministry of interior, the travel issue is really dealt with in these words, that only visaed and passport holders can travel 100 gary and the rest of europe. none of these people have vehicles as. let me just give you a better idea of the numbers here, there are hundreds and hundreds a driving day by day, it gets more and more chaotic. there is a possibility soon thy these people rob taken out of here, they don't want to leave they are hoping to get some sort of permission to move on

eventually. but they could be moved to enclosed transit zones which will be detention centers. look at the facilities here. because the facilities in these didetention centers, they are nt called that, but they will be effectively be so, are worse than this. and this is the sanitation, this is the water these people are getting. they come from places like syria, iraq, afghanistan, and they are stuck now with this. let me carry on with the statement. because we were direct today a general news release from the interior ministry which says that only asylum seekers with valid passports can travel within the e.u. temporary residency permits can be issued to asylum seekers, those will enable people to stay in hungary, making the best of the facilities that they can get until they have a result from their asylum applications. now, those applications, as you heard in that report, are the laws on those are changing. it's going to get much, much more difficult to get a

successful application through. so there is a potential bottleneck. a massive bottl bottleneck of pe who could be pushed in to serbia. this is a developing crisis, it's getting worse rather than better felicity. >> andrew simmons with the very latest from budapest. thanks for that update, andrew. hundreds of refugees have also crossed the mediterranean to italy. but as we report the reception they often receive there is not what they had been expecting. >> reporter: a cry for help from a refugees center that looks more like a prison. these are some of the 64 nigerian women rescued in july from the mediterranean sea, like thousands before and after them, they were hoping for a better life in europe. but their rescuers became their jailers. they are being held in one of italy's identification and expulsion centers. a one-stop shop before

deportation. >> in libya i was in hell, because in libya. [ inaudible ] every day fight, every day war. at times. [ inaudible ] ripped the girls from libya. [ inaudible ] >> reporter: this is not officially a prison, but it certainly looks like one. refugees are locked behind bars and their freedom of movement is limited. well, we have been told that we cannot film inside the rooms, but the girls here told me that their room is overcrowded, they

sleep on hospital beds. it's overheated, too many mosquitoes, there is a flood and the stench keeps them awake at night. human rights organizations are helping the women apply for asylum. but if they are freed, they say they risk going from freezing to slavery. >> we are trying to ascertain whether they have been trafficked for purposes of sexual exploitation. in our experience, most nigerian women are trafficked to be forced in to prostitution. our main concern is that in the absence of proper protection, these women might be revictimized, either in italy by the same networks that have trafficked them to begin with, or back in nigeria for the same reasons that forced them to leave the country. >> reporter: the outcome of their asylum status request will be known in a couple of weeks. in the meantime, these women will continue to wait anxiously and impatiently for a better

future. they risk their lives for. al jazerra, rome. al jazerra correspondent peter greste has called on the egyptian president to undo injustice and par come him and his two colleagues. he's held a press conference in australia hours after being convicted of allegedly helping the now banned muslim brotherhood. peter greavedder bahar mohamed and mohammedded familia fahmy we sentenced to three nears in prison they have denied the accusations. >> there is never any evidence that the prosecutor presented eighth third first trial or the second to confirm any of the allegations against us. and, in fact, i would like to publically challenge the prosecutor to present evidence of anything that we produced that was falsified. lebanese security forces say 10 people were arrested during saturday's demonstration in the capital. police pushed back protesters who tried to set fire to

barricades in front of the government head quarters in beirut. it is the second weekend of mass rallies which began as a protest against rubbish piling up on the street. the demonstration has become a wider campaign against the government which protesters say is corrupt and ineffective. mark dow is electorate at the university of beirut and also one of the organizers of this protest movement and joins us now live via skype from beirut. thanks for being with us on the program. this protest -- >> thank you for having me. >> -- has become momentum -- is gathering momentum. what exactly is it that you are asking the government to do now? >> we are asking for fundamental right for any sit sin in any country. asking for accountability to those in power for our demands and right to have clean streets and a healthy environment to live in. as well as we are asking for basic solution, best environmental solution for the garbage that has been piling in lebanon for the past close to two months now in the streets. and with the risk of winter

approaches, rain and water and sun will basically cause a lot of those garbage to affect the health of the mass populations with the risk of epidemics. in addition some people are burning the barge garbage to get rid of it which is producing everybody more dangerous gases out of that garbage, we are asking for a solution to the garbage issue, accountability against those who did not perform their functions and get the solution done. as well as we were victims to police abuse. a week back when the police attacked the protesters denying them the right to protect in the streets of beirut sending many injured to hospitals and others and we are asking for the minister of interior to be held accountable along with the chief of police for the damage that they caused to the protesters. that is our main demands for now. >> this, of course, though isn't simply about the hor remember does conditions on the streets,

the health of people in beirut because of the rubbish that's piled up on the road. this is a wider campanas we were saying. this is about a campaign against the government. but it's a government that is effectively paralyzed and has been for years. what exactly do you think the government is going to do? and how will it respond? is it not paralyzed, and unable to do so? >> lebanon has been going through big political crisis. we haven't had a president for the past year plus and we haven't had parliamentary elections which have been delayed since 2013 the current parliament gave itself an extra mandate of four years. in addition the existing government hasn't been able to take any single decision because of the bickering of the government from the different parties, we are trying to push everyone to be responsible towards the people and regain a constitutional life in lebanon with a functioning government. a president for the country and a parliament that can meet. because the parliament itself

hasn't met for any of the sessions for probably close to a year or so. so what we are doing is we are dogmas protests and rallies, we are pushing everyone to reestablish a normal democratic, systematic governmental life in lebanon. >> where does the campaign go from here then? >> the path is clear, we are talking about accountability to protect the right to protest. we are talking about accountability when it comes to dealing with the garbage issue. and finding a solution for a critical health risk as well as an environmental issue in lebanon. we are talking about decentralization and giving local municipalities the right authorities to ask for law to deal with garbage. the government was trying to divide all of the garbage in lebanon on six companies that are affiliated in one way or the other to the current people in power. basically creating monopolies so

they get a bigger share of the pie. and finally, we are asking for a reaction at this indication of institutional and constitutional organizations, including parliament government and he lexing a president for this republic. >> good to get your thoughts -- >> we are going in the direction of protesting until we get that done. >> we will continue to cover those protestses with interest. mark dow joining us from the lebanese capital beirut, thank you. still come on the program, pushed to the limit. yemen's medical community calls for more help to treat the sick and wounded. mourning the missing relatives marking mexico's day of the disappeared demands answers. in sport triple crown winner american pharaoh knocked off his thrown at one of horse racing's biggest event.

calls for the malaysian prime minister to resign continue to grow after 10s of thousands valleyed in koala lumpur over the weekend. and as hungary struggles with the growing number of refugees from the middle east to north africa, the e.u.'s three largest nations say more should be done to process and monitor them. the united nations says more than 300,000 people have crossed the mediterranean so far this year. of those, many have landed in greece, but with the number of arrivals growing the government is struggling to cope. john is rob plus reports. >> reporter: these afghan children are having a little i of their childhood restored to them. attend for games inside a government-sponsored camp. here too they have food and 24 hour medical care, but much has been taken from them in years of war, poverty and exile. he was born in exile from his native afghanistan because his

family feared for their lives. >> we are shia and. [ inaudible ] in afghanistan, there was some people like taliban, they kill the people. that was had why we my great today iran. the iranian people were very cruel actually. i am going to go to a place that accepts us, accepts us just like a person, like a human. >> reporter: more than 170,000 refugees have poured in to greece this year, most fleeing war or looking for a better life in usual. this facility is an improvement on the tent city that had sprung up in athens' largest urban park, local residents feared a threat to public health and safety. some 500 after begans who were in camp here are now gone, initially to the new municipal facility but ultimately out of groce and northward in to the ban pal.

but ultimately to strike a balance between this and detention centers build built by the previous conservative government. under that they were being detained done they've let i until they were deported. in march the left wing government shutdown the camp closest to athens and released its inmates. but the but the closure is controversial and five other camps remain, it's the same across europe. in greece the arrivals keep coming. the government has chartered this vice toll bring them from its eastern island close to turkey these syrians, afghans and iraqis felt euphoria as they took their first step on his continental europe sending picks home of their safe arrival. >> translator: my family has lost more than 10 men, women and children because of either assad or the islamic state. in kobane there is nothing to eat. and if you find food it is expensive and only for the rich. >> reporter: the sudden freedom is overwhelming. some families unsure of where to

go. some get on buses, others head to the athens metro. on their long journey, this is a respite from which they seek only a little comfort and humanity. john psaropoulos, al jazerra, athens. the around 4,000 people arrived on saturday alone. joining me on the line from there is kirk day the emergency response team leader in greece for the international rescue committee. thank for being with us on the program. 4,000 people arriving in one day. is that the most so far? >> it is. yes. i think that number is significant because 2/3 of all arrivals to greece come here. the most of the summer the total number of arrivals for greece was 1,000. we have reached four times that many on less boss. >> what happened to them when they arrive? where do they go, who looks

after them? >> ideally when they arrive on the north of the island they are supposed to catch a bus and ride the bus to the south, present themselves to the port police where they register the first time. then they wait in a camp. if they are syrians they wait in one camp and they can wait up to two or three days until their names are read. and then in theory they are supposed to be able to about buy a ferry ticket and leave the island. to be honest right now, we are facing a perfect storm. the numbers are arrivals for the past two weeks have steadily risen to first 2000 a day, then 3,000, ask as you said yesterday we had 4,000. the problem is that refugees cannot easily leave the island now. so we have a backlog of probably at least 15,000 refugees on the island because it's the height of tourist season and for the past two weeks refugees have not been able to get on ferries to leave the island. and only i think maybe a handful of extraordinary ferries have come to help relieve some of the pressure, but it hasn't been

enough. so in the main city on the island, you have upwards of 10,000 refugees basically stranded, sleeping out in the open in parks, alleyways, sidewalks, the colonnade around the port. and it's a recipe for serious concerns to be honest. >> and do the greek authorities have any outside hepa part from charities like yourself? >> i think we have to praise greek authorities at least on the islands and praise the volunteerism and commitment of local groups that have been provided support to the refugees. to be honest, mostly by themselves for the past five years. and in particular for the last six months when the numbers have been so higher. irc is here, mcf and save the children, but frankly it's not enough. and we are fighting a losing battle and it raises questions about support that should be

coming from the other parts of the european union and international organization to his funds what is a growing and dire crisis. >> obviously most of the refugees who arrive on lesbos don't want to stay there. as you say they are trying to leave. but there are very few ferries available to them. what, in your opinion, needs to be done now? >> reporter: i think in the immediate term, we need at least two ferries solely dedicated to refugees every day for the next two weeks to alleviate the backlog. otherwise, as we are seeing now, tensions are rising in and around the port. and it could be have a situation that's not dissimilar to the unfortunate circumstances that happened on the island of kos where refugees were in a football stadium and bass klee locked away because they couldn't be provided assistance. we don't have that situation now but we have far higher numbers and so that situation could develop and be very worrying. the second thing i would say immediately, is we need a transit to the north. there is no way to provide assistance when 30 to 45

refugees are coming on dingies at all times of day and night, and different spaces along the northern coast. we need a transit center so they can being collected at one place at which organizations like mine and others can provide assistance to the refugees and then they can be moved in an orderly fashion. right now it's a free fall and the southern part of island can't handle the pressure. >> you are kirk day, really appreciate you giving us that update from the islands of lesbos, thanks for your time. >> thank you. ray french newspaper has published quotes from what appears to be a secretly recorded conversation between two journalists and the lawyer representing the king of morocco. the friend. journalists are being formally investigated for attempting to blackmail king mohammed the sixth. the pair remember writing a book about the monarchy and were arrested last week and w questioned but haven't been charged in the article one of the journalists is reportedly heard outlining the contents of
