e.u. ministers are meeting to decide on a relocation plan for more than a hundred thousand refugees, we'll have the very latest from brussels. ♪ hello, you are watching al jazeera live from doha. a deadline for coup leaders in burkina faso to surrender has come and gone. israeli police round up children in their latest wave of arrests in the occupied territories. and as muslims gather in mecca,

we visit a unique museum which illuminates the life of the prophet muhammad. ♪ first, the european union is holding another meeting in brussels to try to find a solution to the refugee crisis. eastern european nations are opposing the e.u.'s plan. european leaders will meet again on wednesday to try to find a solution. let's go live to jacky rowland who is in brussels for us. this is a big meeting on wednesday, today it is the interior ministers. what is on the agenda? what are they going to try to achieve? >> reporter: what they are discussing is a figure of 120,000 refugees who are already in the e.u. and trying to reach an agreement on there being a quota system for these refugees to be shared

out between the count fridays of the european union. so far it hasn't been looking too good in particular, eastern european countries resisting very hard the idea of quotas being imposed on them. for them it's a question of sovereignty and they don't feel like they should be dictated to by the richest western european countri countries. so far the countries have only agreed to share out 40,000 refugees between them. now we're talking about 120,000 but when you mention the figures of another half million refugees could be in turkey preparing to make that journey into the e.u., it does put into perspective these relatively small numbers of people the e.u. is discussing. >> jackie, if the eastern european countries don't play

ball, what can germany and the other countries who want quotas, do? >> reporter: germany has raised the prospect of possibly withholding funding from some of those eastern european states. when you look at the budget of the european union country, richer countries in western europe put in more into that budget and eastern countries are getting more out of it in terms of benefit. there is also the possibility that they could go for a majority vote rather than for the unanimous vote that normally would be used in these circumstances. the problem is any kind of arm twisting, or any kind of forcing this through would in many ways go against the principals of the european union. we have seen the freedom of movement throughout the european union has really been pushed aside in the last week or so with the closure of the borders.

now we're looking at any idea of reaching consensus, and solidarity, and that principle also being threatened here. >> jackie thank you very much. yemen's exiled president has arrived in the southern city of aden. he spent the last six months in exile where he fled after houthi rebels closed in on aden. his return follows that of the prime minister and seven ministers last week. it has been over a year since houthi rebels took control of yemen's capitol, sana'a. now to africa, and the deadline for coup leaders in burkina faso to disarm or face attack by the army passed hours ago. they are holding more talks to

try to end the crisis. the general who lead the takeover said he wants to find a solution to avoid confrontation with the army. people on the streets welcomed the army's entry into the capitol. 12 people have died and hundreds have been injured since last week's coup. let's speak to our correspondent from the capitol where leaders are meeting to try to find a solution to the crisis in burkina faso. what is the latest on that meeting? what are they saying? >> reporter: well, foley, the leaders of west african nations in particular the president, the leader of [ inaudible ] ivory coast, the president of senegal, and various other leaders from the economic community of west african states are meeting just in the building behind me. and they are trying to set up a plan to put burkina faso on the

right track -- back on the right track for democratic elections. the center of discussions and negotiations that are taking place is the future of the presidential guard. the coup leaders. what should happen to them? should they be part of the democratic and transitional process, or should they be sidelined? that seems to be what the center of the discussions are here, and opinion seems to be divided. we have spoken to some of the leaders who have been milling around here and various diplomats, and it seems the majority of the countries will back a situation, a plan, which in some way tries to incorporate the presidential guard, despite the coup. they have of course said that they are sorry, and all of this, one needs to sort of look at the background, comes back to the fact that the former president, blaise compaore who was

supported by these presidential guards still has incredible amount of influence in the country and there are various stakeholders who would like to see the presidential guard part of an ongoing future, inclusive process. now what they are discussing is whether they should be given amnesty. we know speaking to people on the ground that there is resistance to the coup leaders being given amnesty. but the feeling here where west african leaders are meeting is there has to be an inclusive process that doesn't bar anyone, that they should all be in some way taken in to a democratic process going forward. >> thank you very much. staying with africa, the number of people killed by a series of bombings in northeastern nigeria on sunday evening has risen to at least

scott heidler joins us on the line now. hospital sources just confirming now that the woman has indeed passed away. >> reporter: she has. and they also gave us a little bit more detail of the wound that the 18 year old suffered from this shooting some eight hours ago. happened 8:00 am local time. they were telling us she was shot in three areas. once in the chest, one in the stomach and once in the lower body. this also conflicts with earlier information coming out from the israeli military that she was only shot in the lower part of her body. we heard that they anyonishally hit her in the legs. we also know that she was in surgery and that she died just within the last hour. now there is also as you mentioned differing accounts of that incident. when the shooting happened. it was at a check point in

hebron. the military claimed she tried to stab one of the soldiers at the check point. witnesses have been telling us and contacts have been telling us who were there, that there was no -- attempt of here by her of trying to stab one of the soldiers. there was some type of shouting incident. one account say she was backing away from the check point and that's when he incident look place. but the hospital confirming she was hit in three areas, chest stomach and lower body. >> thank you very much. elsewhere in the occupied west bank the israeli army is being criticized for continuing to arrest palestinian children. the 25 have been detained over the last few days. victoria gatenby reports. >> reporter: israeli soldiers round up a group of palestinian school children in occupied east jerusalem. the tactics used by the israeli

army aren't you, but the impact on the children involved is clear to see. mohammed and his three friends were on their way home from school when they were arrested. they accused the boys of throwing stones and took them to an israeli army detention center for interrogation. rights groups say approximately 700 palestinians under 18 years old in the occupied west bank are prosecuted every year through israeli military courts. the most common charge against children is throwing stones. a crime punishable under military law by up to 20 years in prison. the families of other children describe what it is like when the israeli army arrive at their homes to arrest their children. >> translator: 15 to 17 soldiers came together with an intelligence official at around 2:30 in the morning.

they were in a car. they destroyed the doors with special machines. they entered the house and took my children. they kept me outside of the house. they shackled my children. after about 20 minutes i knew they would take my son. >> reporter: pictures of an israeli soldier trying to arrest an 11 year old palestinian boy with a broken arm went viral on social media last month. in the past few days 25 palestinian children have been arrested and held. israel has deployed thousands ahead of the muslim holiday which begins this week. >> translator: of course you know what it means to a mother when somebody takes three members of her family. we felt very confused, but we all rise above such pains.

>> reporter: these school children have now been released but the families of many other detained children have no idea when their loved ones will be freed. victoria gatenby, al jazeera. the advocacy unit in defense of children, says israel takes advantage of the legal loopholes in its laws. >> the situation in east jerusalem is unlike the west bank, the israeli law applies to palestinians living in east jerusalem, and this law provides palestinians and israelis with the legal safeguards, but in practices we found that in 2015, the israeli practices of israeli police is violating the rights of palestinian children. the israeli law applies to palestini palestinians, but legally speaking, the misinterpretation of this law, and the use of

exceptions by the israeli police deprive the palestinian children of their rights. 700 children were arrested in east jerusalem last year alone. it ensures all of the rights protected by the crc, the u.n. convention on the rights of the child, but at the same time it allowed some exceptions of the rule in which the israeli pla place -- police can use these exceptions. we found out that the israeli police disinterpreted these exceptions. one example is the arrest from house. according to the israeli law, the arrest should be used as a last resort, but in the case of palestinian children, children are being arrested directly and arrested for offenses that were

committed three months ago for example. so basically this is the interpretation. >> iraq has dismissed the [ inaudible ] of the school year due to an outbreak. classes were meant to begin on tuesday, but that has been pushed to next month. iraq's water and sewage systems are outdated and years of war and neglect have prevented any upgrades. the chinese president is on his way to the united states. first stop in a few hours is seattle where he will meet technology executives. both countries have been sparring over cyber security and apple is the latest u.s. company tackling a security breach in china. >> reporter: apple prides itself on safeguards to prevent malicious actors from contaminating the apps for its devices. >> it's when we have used all of the technology at our disposal to create the most secure

devices and the most secure systems that we can. >> reporter: but particularly in china many iphone users have taken to bypassing apple by downloading apps from a counterfeit developer program. that has affected hundreds of legitimate apps, like wee chat, making it capable of sending fake alerts that steal data from users. apple says it is working with the developers to make sure they are using the proper version of x-code to rebuild their apps. this week, the chinese president makes his first visit to washington. earlier this year, u.s. authorities filed criminal indictments against five alleged chinese military hackers. they were charged with stealing from american businesses. the chines have denied the

accusations and suspended a bilateral dialogue on cyber security. but obama has signaled he is interested in a truce. >> ultimately the goal should be to have some basic international framework that won't be perfect because there's still going to be a lot of non-state actors that and hackers who are very good and we're still going to have to have good defense. >> chinese officials say they are interested in an international code of conduct for cyber information sharing, but haven't spelled out particularlies. yet since the latest malware has effected its own citizens as well, the decision may be more tempting than ever. tom akerman, al jazeera, washington. ♪ more than 2 million muslims are expected in mecca saudi arabia for the annual hajj.

for one man it's a life he feels is misunderstood by the outside world. >> translator: the idea of this project started when i wanted to write a book to change the stereo type about the prophet's life. many think it's all about wars and battles. but wars was only about 5% of his life. my idea grew to become a huge project to let the world know about our prophet. here is a map of mexico showing the prophet's time. this is his first wife. he was born here, and it's here in this cave that his prophecy

started. here is medinah. this is the prophets mosque, his house. here are the trenches to protect the medinah. here is the famous battle. this diagram shows the structure of the state. it's not a modern state, but had all of the bodies that exist today under different names. it's fully organized. it had the prophet's personal affairs, education, youth, special needs, ministries of interior and foreign affairs. he relied on new technology to prevent islam. we used 3-d touch screens. this screen for example, represents the work of five big volumes. not anything you want to know will come up here with the touch of a screen. this museum is more like an educational means to reflect the

prophet's life. we decided to make new replicas for everything. his body armor, his helmet, his sword and other personal items. the museum is open to the public, and it's free. thousands of people come from across the world to visit this museum. i financed this project with my own money. we registered it as an endowment. it will have branches abroad. it was inaugurated here in mecca in saudi arabia, where the muslim faith started. >> we have much more on the hajj on our website, you can walk through all of the sites of the pilgrimage, at aljazeera.com. now the red carpet is being rolled out on one of the world's most heavily fortified borders. the festival is showcasing
