announcer: this is al jazeera. hello, welcome to another newshour from al jazeera. the top stories - israeli police fight with palestinian youths in the al-aqsa compound in jerusalem the german city of munich says it's overwhelmed by large numbers of refugees arriving there a string of resignations in the opposition labour party in britain after the election of a controversial new leader.
6:01 am
>> i'm rahul and i'll have your sport, including... >> this is the way i would like to say goodbye to tennis. >> going out at the top. flavia pennetta retires moments after winning the us open at flushing meadows we begin the newshour in jerusalem, where israeli police fought with officers. police say they entered the courtyard to arrest stone throwe throwers. mahmoud abbas condemned the attack against worshippers at the sight. the confrontation coming hours before the start of the jewish new year. it is inside the city, and the nobel sanctuary. it is the third holiest site in
6:02 am
islam. it is the most sacred site in judaism. israel captured the site in 1967, and annexed it to east jurisdiction in a move that's never been recognised internationally. we have the latest. >> the very latest is we know that the clashes pretty much stopped and have over the last several hours, particularly in the al-aqsa compound. it moved into different parts, different allies within jerusalem, the city here. it seems now that it is calm. this is something that obviously, as you described, it's a sensitive issue, it's an important location for both religions, and it's a sensitive era and time. sunset at night marks the beginning of the jewish new year. a lot of faithful will go to the
6:03 am
wall, next to the al-aqsa, and go to the compound to pray as well. that's where it's a point of for example. the muslims don't appreciate that. that's why it is a sensitive time. this is something we have seen in previous holiday periods, jewish hole say periods, and there are clashes similar to the bend, as you imagine, both sides were bracing for that, and that's what we saw on the early morning hours. >> what flared and triggered the flare-up. muslim youths were ideas the mosque. armed with stones, and they called home-made - home-made explosives, fire works basically. but what triggered... >> well, we believe to be the case, and this is coming out in
6:04 am
some reporting. there are some jewish groups, activists, who go into the al-aqsa compound. they are not supposed to pray in there, but they go in and pray, that's where the tension flared up. we know there were groups, activists. obviously it sounds as though the palestinians were waiting for that. and that is possibly when this happened. the gates had not opened, but from what we are hearing is they are ready and are going to be going. we spoke to an activist a couple of days ago. we focused on who is behind the activist groups and why they do this. that's a movement going on for decades. it seems as though, and this is what could have triggered this is for days, and that's that there's a right wing politician, and we are hearing that the minister of agriculture, a
6:05 am
member of a right win political party, was waiting to get into the compound this morning. if that sparked what we saw in the early morning hours, it's difficult to say. clearly contributing, because that's what we have seen over the last year or so. >> many thanks, scott heidler in jerusalem the german city of munich says 12,000 refugees arrived on saturday alone, and is calling on other cities to help deal with the influx. thousands enter europe by the mediterranean sea. let's speak to jonah hull on the greek island of lesbos. what's the situation where you are now? >> much improved. this is a country facing a national election in a week's time, and in the interim a caretaker government has pulled out the stops. perhaps to take this refugee problem off the political table,
6:06 am
as it were. there were more boats available. drafting in more resources and man power. the prime minister is on the island looking around. the aid agencies, the refugee agency, the u.n.h.c.r. - they redoubled the result that the major gateway in the influx of people into europe where a week ago on the port. there were riots taking place. it's now able to offer a relatively decent and speedy reception. >> reporter: the pace of arrivals at the refugee camp in lesbos has not slowed. something else has changed. the pace at which they are able to leave. under pressure from u.n.'s refugee agency and the e.u., police reinforcements register up to 2,000 a day.
6:07 am
that's almost the same number as those landing on the island of turkey every day. the chaos and disorder turned to calm efficiency. >> now i take photocopy and go now. >> reporter: do you know that two weeks ago it was difficult here. >> my friend was telling me you don't have to come, it's pressure. it's really pressure. i was surprised what he told me and what i saw. it's a big difference. >> the transformation of the camp since i was last here is extraordinary. two weeks ago this was a squalid, woeful place. thousands living rough for days on end, with virtually no assistance. there are decent sanitation facilities, proper sent, medical facilities, and there's a feeding station freely distributing food. >> i hate to think how this man
6:08 am
would have coped before. faisal was shot through both legs during an attack in the university of raqqa, he was studying biology. >> what does it mean to you to be here in europe, away from syria? >> >> translation: i've made my way through struggle and hardship. there are specialists treating the conditions. the greek government pushed the government to lay on for. people paid for the tips. >> they are saying maybe one hour later it would be 80. what should be do. >> reporter: you have a long journey ahead of you and other expenses along the way. >> yes, five, six countries to go. >> reporter: in a few days, more than 30,000 refugees and
6:09 am
migrants. good news for this island and for them, bad news for the crowded road ahead that will get busier so things massively improved as you can see. that is not to say that the people encounter this short crossing from turkey, have been overcome. if anything, the journeys are likely to increase. in part because they'll have heard that things improved. and there is now a window, a six week or so window of relatively calm sees until the cold winds of winter arrive, making the journey more difficult. that means accidents will happen. today the greek coast guard confirms as a result of a capsizing comment three died including a small child and as a result of a similar incident. they are looking for four
6:10 am
children between the ages of eight and 13 jonah hull on the greek island of lesbos. >> tens of thousands rally in major cities in support. people marched to the foreign ministry carrying signs saying open the borders, and peace. protesters are critical of the policy, wanting borders to open to those fleeing war and persecution. syria's neighbours have taken in the largest number of people fleeing the war. jordan is already home to more than 600,000 syrians. it's received at least 10,000 people since the start of this year. but once they make it across the border to safety. they face an uncertainly future. we have this report from al-kahn on the jordan-syrian border.
6:11 am
>> they came carrying a few belongings. many had to run for their lives. >> life is destroyed in aleppo, our homes were demolished. we had nothing left but god's mercy. we were left only with the clothes we were wearing. >> the refugees had to walk between syria and jordan. the journey inside syria was agonising. travelling from north to south, fleeing from i.s.i.l. controlled territory close to turkey. >> syria is miserable. we were escaping air strikes. >> many left syria because they had no food. >> we ran away from hunger, fatigue and bombardment. we came to our brothers in jordan, we could no longer find anything to seat. the army runs the operation at
6:12 am
the border, saying it spend more than 700 million on feeding or treating, transporting refugees before handing them over. >> since the emergence of i.s.i.l. and al nusra front is harder for the syrian refugees to make the long demanding journey to jordan. the army reduced the number of areas where they can get into jordan. from 45 since the start of the conflict, to six. the army said it has had to prioritise security over humanitarian gestures to prevent what it describes as terrorists from hiding among the refugees. >> refugees used to come from southern syria, now they are coming from areas in the north. why won't turkey open the border. >> their journey is far from over. they'll be taken to a security base where the jordanian authorities will run background
6:13 am
checks. after they were cleared they'll be taken to a refugee camp. many staying for years. after four years of war they feel violated, humiliated and destitute saudi's kink salman promised -- king salman promised to find out what caused a crane to collapse, killing 107. he toured the grand mosque in mecca, days before the hajj pilgrimage when millions of muslims from around the world visit the site arabs ministers will meet. six months after the war humanitarian conditions are worsening. >> survival is using any means possible. this includes the old way of doing things.
6:14 am
for five months supplies of water and electricity was scarce. where once there was plenty, these are difficult times. >> people are having a hard time finding water. we walk for 50km a day to get supplies to villages and rural areas. >> the tough conditions have not stopped people from flocking to the military camps. hundreds have come to the straining are training ground, hoping to join the military. >> translation: we are training people in a way that makes them able to secure the city and gets them ready to defend it from possible attacks. >> the fighting with houthis ended a few weeks ago. the destructive tendency too clear. yemeni is a stay with a history of armed conflicts. it's looking to the past for the feature. >> reporter: here with the newshour, still to come -
6:15 am
clandestine campaigning. how physical threats and intimidation are changing the face of politics in russia. plus i'm in the port of haiti. we'll meet with the organizations leaders and finding out what really happened. >> in sport we hear from floyd mayweather, as he pledges to help the next generation of fighters, following his retirement from boxing less than 24 hours from what ha been described as the british politician in decades. several resigned the shadow cabinet posts. they are opposed to the elect rain of left winger jeremy corbyn. many leading labour figures think the radical views will
6:16 am
make it impossible. many that support him thing that his socialist view will resonate with voters, disillusions by years. let's get analysis from this from paul brennan, following developments in london. is there a surprise that the members of the shadow cabinet would resign, with jeremy corbyn becoming the leader. >> i don't think so. many have been associated with corbin. this principle, the project called playerism, and labour projected. it put labour from the socialist background of its past, and was successful for tony blair. what it appears is that the labour party is back on the project and reversing to its old
6:17 am
style of politics, and they see their futures elsewhere. it's not that there's talk of a civil war. the size of the injury on saturday. 59.9%. nearly 60% voted in support of his leadership. and the idea of some kind of civil war or some kind of plot to oust him at this early stage i think is fanciful. this is an opposition party now, looking for its direction, looking for where it will go next and working out where it will put arguments forward, given the fact that it will be out of touch for a minimum of four years. the next general election is not until 2020. >> what are the immediate changes facing mr corbin as he takes the reins of the labor party. apart from the resignation of the senior figures within the labour party on his cabinet. he's facing a hostile right-wing
6:18 am
media. >> well, he is. let's talk about the party itself for a start off. jeremy corbyn was slated to appear on a high-profile political interview programme on a television show sunday. he pulled out of that and put his deputy elected as deputy leader, and tom watson shows that he difficult urges an opinion -- difficult urges an opinion, jeremy corbyn let it be known that he was minded to have britain pull out. tom watson says he is working hard to convince it. there's policy differences between the new leader and deputy leader. as far as the right win press, i can show you the newspapers, the left leaning newspapers says corbin hails a huge mandate
6:19 am
setting out the agenda. it's largely supportive. it's nothing without achieving the party. the death of new labour, corbin wins by a handslide. tom watson - his deputy - as the unions take control of the party. we'll hear more of that. now moving to the real right wing. corban starts the labour civil war, is the front page of the sunday times. picture jeremy corbyn there. the male on sunday, very conservative right wing leading paper. red and bury. red being the colour of the socialist flag that jeremy corbyn would ally under. >> a broad spectrum. the most important thing to realise, this is an pois party, not a -- opposition party, not a
6:20 am
general election. nonetheless the implications and impact that this will have on a political debate, with the government with a majority of 12 feats was profound. thanks. paul brennan live in london regional elections across russia, the government succeeded in barring opposition candidates from the poll. opposition groups say they face physical and political intimidation. peter sharp joined one of the very few candidates. >> reporter: it's almost a clandestine affair, a handful of elderly secluded in the courtyard of an apartment, meeting a young opposition candidate. a hulking body guard stands
6:21 am
close. >> translation: the level of physical intimidation on opposition parties changed the face of election campaigns in vladimir putin's authoritarian russia. >> he should realise the methods used against the campaign. police dispersed the campaigners. they are physically detaining. bandits and criminals attacked volunteers and tried to disrupt meetings with the electorate. proof of that at the campaign headquarters. party organiser was struck down with a blow from behind at a morning rally. he's waiting for an ambulance the emergency services, the police, won't do anything. >> this regional election is taking place amid the worst economic crisis since vladimir putin came to power. the timing has the kremlin rattled. >> because of the very difficult economic situation and no improvement, no economic improvement in site, of course, the kremlin is concerned under existing election laws parties have to gather signatures to prove they can attract 3% of the electorate. the authorities managed to disbar all opposition parties by
6:22 am
claiming their signatures were forged. under these conditions, it's little wonder that the pro-putin factions like these bears in the unit russia party are optimistic about the outcome of the vote. the party telling us that these are fair and fair elections. the opposition would differ. >> there's an almost overwhelming sense of confidence among the pro-kremlin candidates in this election that borders on complacency. many haven't bothered to campaign, and some have not filled in the election manifestos. the arguments goes why bother. regional acting governors across the areas have been validated in endorsed by vladimir putin, and in an election like this, that is more than enough to secure victory on the day we knew this would not be a walk in the park. they let us cannot to get us in
6:23 am
a trap. for us to lose the election and everyone to see it. we expected the challenge and are doing everything possible to get support and to win. five hours after he was assaulted, an ambulance turns up to take the party organiser to hospital. later he was diagnosed with a brain injury the american red cross has been accused of squand iring money for rebuilding haiti. they raised half a billion, but critics say there's little to show for it. andy gallagher reports from port-au-prince clinging to the steep ravines of port-au-prince, the neighbourhood is slowly rebuilding. like many communities, it was devastated by the quake earthquake in 2010. here the red cross and partners say they are doing best work. new roads and businesses are
6:24 am
constructed by haitian roads. homes are being built and refurbished. antoine tells us she feels everyone is now rich and life is so much better that they are no longer living in tents. >> we had a particular attention to the quality. the mrn red cross that raised close to a billion has been accused of letting the people of haiti down, failing to deliver aid to those in need. a serious accusation is that they only built six new homes, something that red cross leaders say is nothing short of a lie. >> in that sense i feel sad about that, because those are lives that we will not save in the future if the population does not have that confidence that they should have, and that's because we are doing a great job. they were told they faced
6:25 am
serious challenges with land rights, but claimed every dollar raised has been invested wisely. they acknowledged that months later were chaotic and leaked emails from others. they point to the work here, and investments in other parts of the country as examples of progress. >> i have been coming to haiti since the earthquake and watched different communities trying to rebuild. nothing on this scale or to these scandals. if this is the flagship project, it's making big strides. >> they did good things, they are doing better things pt at the time it was a mess. >> the prime minister at the time of the earthquake and oversomehow reconstruction efforts has been a critic of the red cross and n.g.o.s. most of them ignored the authorities in the crucial days after the quake. >> we have the solution, we'll
6:26 am
do that. you don't have to tell me what to do with the money i received. perhaps in your name it was considerable. i don't have to give an explanation. the red cross is under scrutiny. net levelled accusations against it. n.g.o.s need to involve haitians more so they can gain the independence that they wanted for so long. >> at least 16 are missing after floods in japan. 100,000 have been displaced. the city was among the hardest hit areas. wayne hay is there. >> officials moved to try to repair the break in the riverbank along the river. they were concerned the typhoon season wasn't over, and they needed to plug the gap as quickly as possible.
6:27 am
there had been a plan in place to fortify all the banks along the river. so they could withstand the rain fall that might occur once every 10 years. clearly that came too light. there are thousands in evacuation areas. areas like this devastate of course, people unable to return. a lot of water laying around. infrastructure destroyed in places. people can't come back to their homes. and some may not return for some time. a lot of water laying around. officials bringing in more pumps lowering the heavily as quickly as possible. >> there's not enough water on the other side of the pacific, leading to wildfires. in california, here to tell us more. >> all summers it's been
6:28 am
california, oregon, washington. this last one has exploded away in the central part of california. it's rapidly, over several hundred hectares, it looks explosive. they have tinder dry material. there's a chance of rain over the top. it will make a little difference, a lot of rain. weather is starting to change and bring the rain down that should be the case. the rain at the moment is east. it's a distinct line through florida and georgia. it's given a decent amount of pain. it's taken from florida. 637mm in six hours. a figure of 49, and wrap around storms giving a huge amount. 100mm is recorded. this is a cold front. changing the weather on the
6:29 am
eastern sea board. it's a slow process. in the low 30s, four days ago. it's in the middle 20s. as the rain goes off sure, it cools down. it will be a dry pictures for most of the state in the next 24 hours, with a hint of showers in the south-west thanks. still to come here on the newshour... >> i'm charlie d'angelo where critics awarded the golden lion to a first-time director in sport, no prizes for guessing where this is. action from around australia coming up. a bid to clinch the world tight with three races to spare.
6:31 am
good to have you with us, here with the newshour on al jazeera. israeli police fought others at the al-aqsa compound. they arrested the compound to arrest young palestinians. the german city said it's been overwhelmed by the large numbers arriving there. germany expected to see the moment, anticipating 40,000 arrives this weekend alone. foreign ministers had a meeting in cairo. expected to submit a draft resolution. it pushes for dialogue. the exiled government pulled out
6:32 am
a peace talk scheduled for this week. >> more on the top story. the fighting at the al aqsa compound. nicky is a spokesman for the israeli police saying they had no choice but to interep vene. >> you see for yourself that fireworks were fired within the al aqsa mosque. it's a holy site fired from withinside. police officers - our policy is to shut the front doors without entering into the al-aqsa mosque. police units control the temple mount area. public order, and because it's within a closer area where there are hundreds of people praying on the other side. it is necessary for the officers to intervene. the heightened security taking place is a standard security measure due to the fact that we
6:33 am
have the jewish festivals in the next couple of weeks, and thousands will visit the old city in order to celebrate. >> let's go to the secretary-general, joining us from ramallah. what do you make of this incident at the al-aqsa compound? >> i think what happened today is an act of aggression from the side of the army. who has wounded 104 palestinians, unarmed palestinians, who were trying to go to the mosque and pray. they injured and attacked two members, an aggression that is unacceptable. what israel is doing is practice oppression of the freedom of prayer. and 95% of the palestinians today, including myself are not
6:34 am
allowed to enter jerusalem or go and pray. those from jerusalem are prohibited from early in the morning to noon from entering the mosques i get the point you are trying to make. concerning the incident, you say it's an act of aggression. police say they had intelligence to suggest palestinian youths had been in the mosque overnight waiting for the morning when jews come to the area to pray. they were armed with spokens and what -- stones and what they describe as home-made explosives. how elsewhere they to respond? >> i'm sorry to tell you that the israeli police are lying, they lied many times before, and are lying again, and respectful tv stations should not investigate the lies, but
6:35 am
investigate objectively what happened. and i believe an objective examination of the situation, how can they throw tear gas in a mosque where people pray peacefully. as you see from the scenes, the army is using the fire bombs and the tear gas. it's the one practicing aggression. on the other hand what israeli is trying to do is impose a system of racism where jewish israelis are giving privileges, not those that mourn, but they want them to enter the mosque. holy. when the army allow me, for instance to go and pray in the mosque. will they allow me to pray near the western wall. we are living through a system of appetite, and the israeli minister himself, an illegal settler, enters the mosque. they are provoking the feelings, and provoke the conflict.
6:36 am
>> thanks indeed. >> thank you nigeria's president is being accused of marginalizing people from the south-east of the country. he made dozens of new appointments since being elected in may. the majority has been chosen from his own region in the north. that has prompted calls for fairer representation. >> this is a meeting of activists from the national youth alliance. they represent the ethnic tribe from south-eastern nigeria. they are angry that the president hasn't given anyone from their region any of over 30 new top government jobs. he's given 24 out of 31 jobs for people from his own region, the north. >> the president has already appointed them from the
6:37 am
south-east. these are the major appointees of the government. those appointments are the ones that control the poll sees of the government. >> among the new appointees are a chief of staff, head of intelligence, customs and immigration chief from his region. the reason they are excluded has its roots history. >> in the 1960s, people from the south-east tried to breakaway from nigeria, which led to years of the war. many here feel that is the reason they are marginalized and excluded from getting top government jobs. >> during the civil war the president fought against e.v.o. forces in the south-east. e.v.o. said he made anti-e.v.o. remarks during the war. >> no one proved that he ever made anti-ebo statements or
6:38 am
sentiments. >> they were in that. according to the constitution, there are five. minimal of five ministers. then their ambassador positions. because they go around the country. and they have positions. 601 positions. they were all from this. nobody talks about my generalization. it's not real. >> people are demanding the president cancel some of those appointments. the activists say they were called for protests as people from the south-east are not represented in government south africa's steel industry is in trouble. more than 307,000 jobs are at
6:39 am
risk. many blame cheap imports from china. >> reporter: this steelworker is spending the day off with his family. she's been a sheetmetal worker for 14 years. for now, there's no work. >> we are affected by imports. the numbers that are in the country. it's the one that is affecting us, because of the people that are used to a different part. because of this, you don't have order. >> he's been promised he'll be moved to another plant. he's worried. >> everyone at home is depending on me. when i look at the future of my kids, i don't see anything. if i lose my job, they suffer more. >> the south african steel sector in south africa employs 200,000 people. the industry is in big trouble. >> it is one of thousands of
6:40 am
workers who could be laid off. the steel sector is struggling to survive in tough market conditions. with more than 70% of this community dependent on the industry, businesses and unions are scrambling to save jobs. >> with a devalued currency and low manufacturing cost, chinese steel is flooding the market, and affecting jobs. steele imports have gone up 20%. unions want governments to protect the industry by hiking tariffs and banning the exportation of scrap. >> we view it as nothing less than a national crisis. for any person in south africa, who has a job, support five to six family, but also if you allow this industry to be destroyed, it will take more than 10 years to rebuild it. >> reporter: there may not be a clear cut solution. >> if you give protection apt the beginning of the pipeline
6:41 am
everyone up the line will suffer from it. when you protect the economy you get escalation, low growth. there's a danger if we go too far that we'll run into the same constraints. so far, the response from government appears to be positive. with talks weeks from now. they face an anxious wait in india tens of thousands of people are taking a holy bath. for the pilgrims the bathing ritual is a way to cleanse themselves of sin. and be closer to god. 100 million are expected to attend the festival this year in the western state still to come, all the sport, including roger federer, bidding to become the most successful player in us open history in the modern era.

6:45 am
touches on this piece, celebrating the philadelphia baseball team. like almost every work commissioned by the mural arts programme, the creation involved hundreds of people, in the design phase to the execution. >> if i were a fine artist. i might have a show up for a month. the audience would be relatively limited. whereabouts in a site on a wall it's, you know, limitless the city is known for its murals, supported by a combination of public funding and donations. the subjects vary from black history to suicide. >> unlike most public art, preserved for prominent parks or city centers, the murals can be found all over the city. in poor neighbourhoods and parking lots. the idea that art is for everyone the murals are painted before being hung outside, a process the public is invited to
6:46 am
take part in. two-thirds of this one, honouring pope francis will become pleated ahead of the visit. those that come to see him will be invited to help with the rest. >> when people come. they'll produce the murals. they can point out and say hey, i point that. >> jane started the programme in the '90s, as a way to stop graffiti. it's become more, thanks to work with prison inmates, schoolchildren and mentally ill. >> i believe what we are trying to do is serve the city in the best way possible. the issue that philadelphia faces are rich use that cities around the world are grappling with. it's often the role of innovation and creativity. transforming public spaces and transforming lives. all right. time for sport.

6:49 am
undoubtedly the two biggest names in men's tennis, i'm talking about novak djokovic and roger federer. let's have a look. novak djokovic has nine grand slam titles as compared to roger federer's 17. when it comes to the us open novak djokovic has the one title coming in 2011. in contrast roger federer won the counter five times, between 2004 and 2008. in terms of head to head, roger federer held the upper hand. in grand slam finals it was novak djokovic with a 2-1 advantage, winning the wimbledon final this year. staying with the u.s. open. the french pair beating jamie murray and his partner in the doubles. needing 69 minutes to secure victory. it was a second straight grand slam final defeat after they
