>> hello, i'm maryam nemazee. in is the news live from london. could burr keno fasso's coup be coming to an end? fighting ofte in saudi arabia.

>> in sport we'll hear from the japan rugby team out to prove that they're not just one-hit wonders after that shock win. japan now have scotland and world cup quarterfinals in their sights. >> there is a fresh attempt in the cr crisis. they'll be trying to reinstall the deposed government. we are any burkina faso's capital, and we have this update. >> the curfew is in place. the population at the moment are defiant. they're out on the streets. they feel confident because they feel reassured by the military

presence who promised to protect them. the presidential guards are back in their barracks. now concerning the framework that we're expecting the visit of others to come tomorrow morning to propose some sort of agreement. remember, the population here are very much frustrated with what th they are proposing. that's because one of the points of amnesty offered to the presidential guard. remember, this isn't just about the coup that happened last week. the presidential guards have been in power for the last 25 years. they've been intimidating the population even killing the political opponent. here in the civil society there is no question about it. they want that group to disbanded. they with a feel they've been robbed from these elections that were to be held on the 11th october and they want to get back on track toward a

democratic route. >> uncertainties remain despite developments. >> this interim period basically excluded the coup leaders and other senior officials from the previous ruling party. this is what caused the coup because the presidential guard are concerned about their future. one of the issues that have been discussed, one of the things on the interim government's plan was to completely disband the presidential guard. the leaders who will travel to burkina faso tomorrow will be speak together coup leaders about the future, and whether they will be part of any democratic process going forward. it is very likely that the leaders will say yes they should be included. they believe an inclusive democratic process is the most

important thing. nobody should be excluded from taking part in any democratic process, even if they have been behind a coup. >> thank you for speaking to us. yours is not strictly about african politics. i know you study coups from around the world. help us first to understand the logic that is first taking place in burkina faso? >> i think what your journalist earlier was saying was entirely correct. the r sp, the presidential guard is very concerned about being disband: this is connected to the fact that they've been accused of violations over this 25-year, 27-year period. they arthis gives them an

ability to block it in the future. however, if they're disbanded, the likelihood increases. they're definitely trying to protect themselves both institutionally and individually. >> but they're trying to protect themselves, but we see them coming under increasing internal pressure from the regular army that is surrounding key positions within the capital, and international pressure now were regional countries who are heading to burkina faso to resolve this. are they going to comply with those efforts? are they likely to stand down? >> that's really difficult to tell. they have a long and contentious history with the regular armed forces. they were designed to prevent any military coups. before the president's period in office 27 years ago there were a good number of military coups

within burkina faso. after the rsp there weren't any successful coups, so they succeeded. but what this this means is that the relationship between the rsp and the army has never been a good one. the rsp is better trained, better equipped, and better paid. there is always a good deal of tension between the two forces. they don't quite frankly, trust the rest army. that makes it difficult to understand or predict what might happen next. hopefully the involvement of international mediators is going to be a positive one. there is an interest from the regional powers, and also burkina faso has been very important to the international community as well. part of--part of the war on terror has been conducted through burkina faso.

>> is everything in place for this coup to be a successful one? >> ah, the process.problem is that the analysis does not necessarily determine outcome. i can't give you as satisfactory of an answer assumed like. the question is if they can convince the rest of the armed forces that if they keep pressing they're at risk of a civil war. they keep warning there is a strong risk of degeneration into chaos if people press in too much. this is his bargaining chip. he's saying, look, if there is too much pressure, then we'll end up fighting and that will be bad all around. >> thank you very much.

♪ >> now, after months of exile in neighboring saudi arabia, yemen's president has finally returned to his country. abd rabbuh mansur hadi is now back in aden from where he fled six months earlier after houthi rebels closed in on the southern port city. earlier, hashem ahelbarra flew in to the airport where aid is still arriving. >> millions suffer over the last few months because of the ongoing fighting. the aid that is being unloaded now is part of the assistance provided by neighboring countries, but the international community is concerned. it says that we need to see a

political settlement any time soon. the problem is that the president abd rabbuh mansur hadi and his government insists they'll only join political talks if the houthis surrender, hand over their weapons and pull out of their area of control. demands which have been rejected so far by the houthis. the situation remains delicate and they're more politically divide than ever. hashem ahelbarra, al jazeera, aden. >> what will president hadi seek to do on his brief return to aden? >> i think its more about what this trip is about. which is to present a pr move if you will to show yemen and yemeni that is he's still in charge. that he's able to come back to the country. that the government is heading towards victory. in reality the real issue is vice president. he has been--in reality he will

be the transitional leader if yemen does get to that stage. he is the person who has more legitimacy than hadi. hadi does not have a power base. and is not seen as legitimate even those opposed by houthis. >> how difficult is it going to be that diverse set of fighters to maintaining the front in sanaa. >> the coalition that you have seen breaks down. the southern separatists that you mentioned they would in no way, and they've already demonstrated that they would no way head to the north.

the idea that this coalition will stay together is pretty farfetched, and it's difficult to see how the yemeni government will look at the different groups of this wide-spread coalition. >> they've been moving north t. >> why is this proving such a difficult fight for them? >> issues of money, patronage and things like that come into

realization. even the saudi and what is considered to be the yemeni army to coordinate themselves with the tribesmen and it's hard for them to coordinate attacks that give coordinates to the saudi-led coalition. and we've already seen instances of friendly fire, for example. even within themselves they're their own enemy even within the group themselves there is problem. >> what happens next whether it is president hadi or his deputy, who tried to take over some sort of government next. they're dealing with a country that is devastated both by houthi shelling and constant bombardment from the air. how difficult is that going to be? >> can they recover?

the push will be the next couple of years in terms of their plan. whether that plan even comes into effect is the real question. the rhetoric suggests that both sides seek eradication of the other side. but that simply can't happen. you're talking about huge eggments. some sort of face-saving deal will need to be made. otherwise we'll see continuous bloodshed. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> now european union ministers have pushed through a deal to relocate 120,000 refugees defeating fierce opposition from some central and eastern states within the block. the hotly debated proposal will see they will take a force of refugees. al jazeera jacky rowland is in brussels where the talks took place. >> local volunteers go to the

rescue of a dinghy full of refugees. suddenly they spot a greater emergency. a man is drowning and they rescue him. the scene is symbolic of a huge challenge as they struggle to cope with the refugee crisis. meanwhile in brussels interior ministers were meeting not for the first time to try to agree on a plan to shell out 120,000 refugees across the european union. it was clear that they would not be able to reach a consensus on this divisive issue. >> the commission made a proposal. we know that some member states were not in favor of the proposal. but those member states say--said we'll have a vote. you know our position. but we will respect the outcome of the vote because that is what we do for treaty. so these member states, all of them respect the outcome of the vote. >> hungary is one of the

countries' most hostile system. it is surrounding itself with fences to keep refugees out. slovakia, romania and the czech republic voted against the e.u. proposals. >> i would like to confirm that during the meeting of prime ministers any attempt to bring into life. we are convinced identify e.u. members will hold their sovereignty. >> their opposition is less to do with the numbers of refugees involved and more to do with the feeling that they have been bullied by germany and brussels. the european commission said that it will enforce the quotas, but it has not said how it intends to do that. while tuesday has been about what to do with refugees already in europe, wednesday will be how to keep more people out.

prime ministers will look at ways to improve the screening of asylum seekers and to speed up the deportation of people europe decides have no right to stay. jacky rowland, al jazeera, brussels. >> there is much more still to come for you in the news hour. the chinese premiere xi jinping comes to the united states, and suggestion that new buildings be ready to use by russian military forces. >> i'm lee wellington in london where the game bridge is trying to be legally recognized as a sport. which opens up the debate what is a sport? >> now there are questions over the future of a growing scandal

engulfs the mos automotive giant. with the potential penaltying running into billions of dollars, this is the man under pressure, vw executive. martin winterkorn. he's credited with turning vw's fortunes around. it has been reported that he will be replaced, but the man himself said that he's not going anywhere. rob reynolds is in berlin. >> with his company accused of serious and deliberate deception, martin winterkorn apologized and said such manipulation would never happen again. >> ladies and gentlemen, many millions of people across the world trust our brands, our cars, our technologies.

i'm endlessly sorry that we betrayed the trust. i apologize profusely to our clients, the authorities and the entire public for our wrongdoing. the scandal has shakenned germany industry. >> we're surprised by that, it's a catastrophe not just for volkswagen but all the german car makers, and it's bad even for the brand made in germany because that is volkswagen is one of our really big brands that stand for german quality. >> even chancellor angela merkel was forced to address the stunning instance of cooperate deceit. >> the minister of transporters are in close contact vw company. and i hope the effects will be put on the table as quickly as possible. >> they found volkswagen installed software that tripped emissions tests into giving the cars a passing grade even though

they emitted more pollution while on the road. the company issued a statement saying 11 million vehicles are effected. it had set aside 6.5 billion euros for recalls and servicing, and said that volkswagen does not tolerate violation of laws and will make winning back consumer trust it's top priori priority. volkswagen is accused of deliberately hatching a technologically sophisticated scheme to conceive government agencies and consumers. damage control experts say that the nature of the scheme will make regaining trust much harder. >> i think whenever you have a situation where something is calculated and malicious, and there is a desire to deceive, the half life is longer for recovery. >> on wednesday a committee of

volkswagens board members and shareholders will hold an emergency meeting. a board member expects senior company heads will roll. rob reynolds al jazeera, berlin. >> volkswagen manage this scandal and try to stop it doing more damage to the company's reputation. i'm joined now by christian stadely, professor of strategic management. thank you very much for speaking to us. how difficult is it going to be for volkswagen to even attempt to win back trust from consumers while the boss refuses to resi resign? >> it's going to be difficult. we have to wait actually if this ithis, and there are quite a few reports that he will resign at the end of the week, giving the company a fresh start. >> where do they go from there?

>> well, they should cooperate fully with the various authorities who started investigations across the world. and be as open as they can. the worst thing they can do is try and hide anything. they seem to have been quite open so far. we can only hope that they've got more coming up later. >> how badly is it going to impact sales of a vehicle? >> it's going to be hard to predict. on one hand it's quite horrific. goods performance, reliability. the price that is probably on top of their mind. that is not something that is under threat here. so sure, it looks bad, but it would be probably worse for a

company which at it's very core has the position to do something for the environment. imagine if tesla has a scandal involving environmental performance, then it would be worse for them than for volkswagen? >> could this scandal engulf other car makers? >> it could. there are subject to the investigation investigation investigating being concluded. it's impossible to tell. so probably not all vehicles are involved, but possibly some. >> thanks very much. it was good to get your take on this. appreciate it. prefer of strategic management.

>> thank you. >> so satellite pictures taken over serie-a suggest new sites have been established to house military forces. the images show new buildings surface clearing and the construction of tents used by russian military forces. th activities faking plac taking place at the airport. reviews subject it substantially increased the targets in sites areas. but the u.s. secretary of state believes that the development would be for the defense of russia's military and "n" serie-a. >> yes, they have increased aircraft, and there are certain kinds of aircraft there, which depending on what the long-term decision is by russia's presence could raise some questions. for the moment, for the moment it is the judgment of our military and most experts that

the level and type represents basically forced protection, a level of protection for their deployment to an air base given the fact that it is an area of conflict. >> iran says it will work with russia to help end the syrian conflict. the deputy foreign minister made the comments at a news conference in moscow adding that while both countries want a political solution, president bashar al-assad must be part of the solution. >> tehran and moscow will help serie-a come out of this crisis. we believe that they will an part of this resolution. >> 38 fighters from isil have been killed in syrian government airstrikes of the asian syrian city of palmyra.

they say it's the most sustained attack on the city by isil forces since isil took control in may. most residents have fled the city while they have destroyed several works of art. well, it is now a year since the u.s.-led coalition entered serie-a's war. the campaign involves airstrikes in both serie-a and iraq with the ultimate aim of destroying isil. the coalition includes turkey, some gulf makes, australia and canada. they expect to launch airstrikes in the coming weeks. meanwhile, syrian government forces with russian backing have been hitting isil from the air. isil is not only dealing with strikes but various rebel grou groups. >> serie-a sent 17,000 square

kilometers of territory has been taken back from the islamic state in iraq and the levant. central command gives the credit for what it calls anti-isil fighters including syrian kurds and sunni arabs. but they would not have been successful without air power to back them up. for the last month the u.s. has been able to intensify its campaign after squeezing permission from turkey to use its base. the border with syria is just 120 kilometers from the base behind me. that means more airstrikes. before the u.s. and it's allies were forced to fly four hours away from bases on the gulf. due to make the airstrikes as effective as possible, they need more and better intelligence from individuals on the ground to identify targets to be hit. so the obama administration says it's looking at the option of

sending in american-trained fight necessary serie-a to help direct the airstrikes. they might be attached to groups already on the ground like the kurds. but many of these groups are also fighting the regime of bashar al-assad. the u.s. doesn't want to get involved in that fight. now the air space overserie-a could get more crowded. russia has sent military equipment to a new hub in western syria. vladimir putin inspected some of the hardware at a major exercise at the border near kazakhstan last weekend. thputin said that he's concerned about isil. but i the u.n. human rights investigator said that only a political solution will bring peace.

>> you remember yugoslavia, and they reached an agreement. but in the end justice could be done. >> 240,000 people have been killed in syria's four-year-long civil war. they say indiscriminate bombing is leading to isil. but if they can strengthen the government, then isil will be weakened. >> the tough conditions that are threatening the gentle giants of california. and in sport we'll have news of

a five-star performance and munich's latest win.

>> welcome back. let's take you to to the story of burkina faso. as they try to reinstate the ousted president arch the rebel's refusal to back down. >> returning to aden after six months in exile. >> now in a release in the past half hour a leading human rights charity has criticized australia for its treatment of refugees and for turning a blind eye to human rights abuses and other countries.

>> arriving before australia sending refugees to prisons in other countries, but without the right to work in australia, and with no indication of if or when he'll get full former recognition as a refugee, he feels that his life it in limbo. >> i don't think security and safety is only physical. i think what we have in mental security and mental safety as well, which has been compromised. >> human rights watch agrees. the charity said it is seriously concerned about australia's treatment of refugees and the government's response to criticism. human rights want answers.

>> they have work to do. if they're going to sit on the human arts bodies then they need to address these concerns rather than brushing these concerns aside. >> sending refugees to what are prisons. australia's prime minister dismissed the criticism saying that he was sick of being lectured to. the government also launched a stating attack on its own men human rights commissioner in locking up children. human rights watch say that australia has ignored this in other countries. australia did a deal with sri lanka encouraging to take back refugees and donating the troll boats to stop people from leaving. >> australia seems to be quite prepared to be silent on human rights abuses in order to get support on the people smuggling issues. it's important when they back

the regime and goes against international human rights. >> the report accuses australia of turning a blind eye to human rights abuses in countries with which it has shared protection efforts or which it has key trade relationships. the u.n. human rights council does have existing members like china and saudi arabia. australia should aspire to better, but it should use respective membership as a catalyst to get it's own house in order. al jazeera, sydney. >> pope francis has touched down in the united states in the start of his first-ever trip there. >> president obama greeted the pope at the airport instead of waiting for him at the white house.

his senior advisers made a rare public appearance to brief the media. he has a simple message on the separate hosts. the economies remain dependent on each other. >> the two countries have some difference bus that's not unusual. our shared interests are far wider than our differences. >> those differences are apparent in the south china sea. recent satellite photos appear to show china building a third runway in these disputed waters despite a promise to end reclamation. last month china showed off it's hardware, but it's the technology that you don't see that worry the u.s. government. >> president xi will not budge an inch because's expanding the

cyber warfare capacity. >> china's state-controlled media said that this will be the most symbolically important visit b since 30 years ago. it caused a lot of excitement as this country slowly emerges from isolation. >> we have the panda huggers and dragon slayers. and most of the dragon slayers are on stage bashing china. so the countr mood of the country has an anti--china view to it. >> but among young people it feels very different. this is a generation of whom u.s. brands and culture have had a big impact. >> when we were young we were taught "i have a dream." going to america is my dream. >> i watch many american tv

programs and movies. they have a lot of influence "moon life. >> the two leaders met almost a year ago. for president xi jinping this trip will be a further opportunity to enhance his international imagine and china's, a reminder as well that he'll be president for a lot longer than his host. >> the rising cost of medicines is becoming a major issue in the u.s. presidential campaign. it's been prompted by a sudden 500% hike on a pill long been available on the market. tom ackerman reports. >> this is darprine which treats immunization. now it is sold for $750, seven

times more expensive. they have justified pricing based on the cost of research and risk and development. but daraprim is a generic after being on the market for 60 years. the drug's maker rejects charge that it is gouging profits. >> for us to try to exist and maintain a profit is pretty reason. >> in the u.s. last year the price of one in four generic drugs studied rose, most doubling in cost. >> even if you pay the price your diabete diabetes does not get betteget 50% better if you pay 50% more for the price. it's the same drug.

>> bernie sanders and hillary clinton. >> i'm going to address this week starting with how we're going to try to control the cost of skyrocketing prescription drugs. it's something that i hear about everywhere i go. >> but regulation would not be easy. the u.s. is the only developed nation in which drug makers are free to set their own prices even government purchasing agencies may only negotiate but not dictate what they're charged. as for daraprin, it's offering a special discount program for, quote, patients in need, but it will not lower it's retail pri price. >> brazil's president dilma rousseff is having a tough week ahead. she faces impeachment.
