national security threat that president obama is trying to make even worse and that's one of the reasons guantanamo is still going to remain open and still so many people are there. >> after shaker aamer is released, there will be 113 men still held at guantanamo. 52 have already been cleared for transfer. it is up to the obama administration to prove it is committed to closing guantanamo by transferring these men sooner rather than later. rosiland jordan, al jazeera, the statement. >> asylum seekers in finland, officials say children were among 40 refugees who were on their way to a reception center in the southern city of latti. the finish government condemned the violence. more than 13,000 asylum seekers have gone to finland this year, most of them from iraq.

>> reporter: when china staged a massive military parade earlier this month, it wa was billed by beijing as a commemoration of the 70th anniversary of world war ii. new so-called carrier killer anti-ship missiles designed specifically to take out u.s. aircraft carriers. china insisted its show of strength was in fact a message of peace which president xi jinping reiterated upon his arrival in the u.s. earlier in this week. china's policy is defensive in nature. to demonstrate our commitment to peaceful development. not long ago i announced the size of china's military will be

cut by 300,000. even so, china will have 2 million in military unify, nearly 50% more than the united states. postcold war force reductions in the 1990s aimed not so much at promoting peace as transitioning to a more modern effective military one with more resources going to planes and ships rather than a huge standing army. after meeting at the white house, both presidents restated long standing positions. the u.s. asserting it will continue to conduct naval and air maneuvers close to china's borders and china insisting its construction of islands and air strips on reefs in the south china sea is legal and peaceful. >> i indicated that the united states will continue to sale fly and operate anywhere that international law allows. land reclamation and reconstruction and administration of disputed areas which makes it harder for

countries in the region to resolve disagreements peacefully. >> we're committed to the overflight that accord to international law, undertaking in the islands of south nansha islands do not target or impact any country and china does not intend to pursue militarization. >> days after the pentagon accused chinese jets of becoming close to an rc 35 spy plain of the united states over the south china sea sea. >> that is been no further determination at the time, still under review. >> under the new agreements the u.s. and china will do more to notify each other of planned military moves including any ballistic missile launches.

jamie mcintire, al jazeera, the pentagon. >> joining us now is gordon channing, the author of the coming collapse of china and a forbes contributor. glad to have you back. >> thank you so much. >> president xi and president obama are having a big old party at the white house. you said this is bad publicity for the country. why? >> 21 gun salute, north portico, state dinner, they want those images to go back to china so the chinese people can see we're honoring xi jinping and by implication the communist party. we didn't have to do this. yes, we need to talk to cloin buchinabut we don't need to lege the party at the same time. >> things in china aren't that

great by being respected by the world's greatest power. >> for xi jinping seattle was much more important so he could talk to tech executives, get them on board, get them to put more money into china. that was what was essential. washington is what he had to do in order to go to seattle. he didn't have to come to agreements with president obama on the important issues. there were the agreements on climate change but china is going to put less carbon in the air because of the contraction of the manufacturing sector. they're recognizing the reality that their economy is in trouble and they will not be polluting as much as they did in the past. >> you didn't expect any significant progress on cyber security. so what do you make of this understanding they've talked about today? >> i think we've gone backwards from the perspective of the united states because just a week and a half two weeks ago the president was leaking to the washington post and others that he was willing to impose

sanction on chinese companies that had benefited from information that had been stolen by cyber-means. that got the chinese attention. but right now they have sort of this understanding about a common framework about the way to go forward and clearly it is unenforceable. china's stealing of information is embedded in the communist party in the ministry of state security in the people's liberation party. they're not going to change -- >> a lot of this is sound and fury signifying nothing? >> we're going backwards because now we're going to have there dialogue mechanism, the chinese will continue to take intellectual property perhaps to the tune of $300 billion a year. >> the numbers that have been talked about, they're stealing intellectual property worth hundreds of billions. >> the am of ip that the u.s. uses every yea approximates u.s.

imports to asia. >> what about the intention of oversight? >> oh please, september 15th just on the eve of xi jinping coming to the united states, this was directed from the top of the chinese political system and so, really, they're not trying to have a message of cooperation with us. this was really an attempted intimidation. >> and xi said that the south china islands where they've been building and expanding recently that they are historically chinese he was quite firm about that and then we heard president obama also being fairly firm about how that wasn't going to limit american navigation and military flights in that area. so are wesking for a confrontation here or is a confrontation possible? >> well a confrontation already exists. china seized scarborough shoal

in 2006. china has some historic relationship to some areas in the south china sea. china is trying to use military power and force and intimidation, and in some issues, acts of outright aggression. that's the issue. >> you feel president obama needs to take a tougher line with the chinese? >> absolutely. freedom of negotiation exercises through territory that china considers to be its own but not under the u.n. convention of the law of the sea and customary navigational law, and first we need to have them back off the seizure of scarborough shoal. >> good to see you. >> thank you so much. >> saudi arabia is suggesting pilgrims are partly to blame for the hajj stampede. worshipers may not have followed

crowd control instructions. saudi king salman reviewed crowd direction but that is not calming them. iran blames saudi mismanagement for deaths including those of 131 iranians. a senior cleric called for a saudi official to be held accountable in court. omar al saleh has the latest from minna. >> after the worst tragedy in two decades, hajj pilgrims continue to perform their rituals. the death of 700 fellow hajj pilgrims added distress and sorrow. this is the sprawling tent city of minna with more than 160,000 tents set up. it lies close to where pilgrims stone the devil one of the final rituals of their journeys. took place at a intersection

like this one. on average pilgrims stay here for three to four days. this man witnessed what happened. >> we were walking in one direction and a man in uniform told us to go in another. all of a sudden we were all together and a stampede happened. i called for help and no one helped me. >> others say, the government is doing a good job. >> god help the authorities. it's the pilgrims that cause the problems. people have to have some organization. >> the saudi government has ordered a full review how this incident is being taken. in 2006 the saudis completed a construction of a facility to better handle the influx of pilgrims. this complex is made of five halls and has multiple entrances. once the pilgrims are inside they will go straight to the pillar that represents satan.

they have to throw 23 stones, the other two are further down, the course takes between five to ten minutes and there are lot of security forces arranging the flow of the pilgrims. nearly 2 million pilgrims are performing the hajj this season. controlling and organizing them is a logistical nightmare for the authorities, crane collapse just days before hajj started and now this. the process of identifying the dead has started. the ministry of health has set up special telephone lines for people abroad to check on the well-being of their relatives. performing hajj is a journey of a lifetime and for some that journey has ended here. omar al saleh, al jazeera, minna. blast yesterday at a houthi mosque in sanaa killed 30 people and injured dozens other.

mexico city. >> it's been a year since police an deducted the sons of these mexicans and handed them over to a gang. 43 young men all student teachers were taken in a night that horrified mexico. their parents are still looking for them. their search has taken them across mexico to south america and the united states. many have given up their jobs like clemente rodriguez. >> i can't get to sleep. going round in my mind is where is my son. i'm always thinking about him. i've always said he's alive and as a parent that's how i feel him in my heart. >> the students' kidnapping has ignited pro testing and unified mexicans in grief and anger and years of bloodshed. more than 25,000 people have gone missing in mexico but in this case the mothers and

fathers behind me that have really shaken the country and bring attention to the rest of the disappeared here. as the anniversary of the disappearance looms, parents bussed in to meet enrique pena nieto for the second time. he promised to create a commission for the investigation of the missing. the president closed the meeting, saying we're on the same side, working for same aim, to find out what happened to your children and punish those responsible. >> these parents have heard the same before. deeply flawed investigation into this case and many porters. >> we already knew how the government would respond, that it isn't easy to resolve this problem they need to leave it to the experts. >> they continue a two day hunger protest before a march planned to mark the anniversary

of the tragedy this saturday. but for all the mass events, clemente's wish is a simple one. >> i had a dream that was so real in which my son was chatting with me. we were happy, and i woke up conditioned and that's ho,and i. however long it trace, i'm going to keep on until we find him. >> a determination of a father who can't rest until he knows what happens to his son. john holman, al jazeera, mexico city. >> the journalist jose careno, jose, always good to have you join us. as we heard john holman say, had a case has shaken the country. here we are a year later nobody's been convicted no clear answer he. where does this investigation stand? >> that's a great question.

actually it's the kind of question that all the mexicans are doing. i mean, the reality is, that at this point the way things are, whatever investigation, whatever result that the government's investigation can be presented, is going to be questioned from the beginning. ably those who citi size the government's investigation. the truth is on the one hand, whatever evidence there is, has been so manipulated, whatever information there is, has become more opinion than fact. and at this point in time, one year later, i do not think that we are closer to the truth nor the government nor the fathers. >> because of what you're saying, the families are calling for an internationally supervised investigation because of the way the government has handled this entire incident. do you think that will happen? >> no. no, first, because it is very

difficult for any mexican government, historically, to get subject to whatever international authority there is. the parents may be right into asking for this, although i could say that it's more the parents' advisors than the fathers, having said that, i really don't think that it will happen. now, the other side is that can this is an obvious -- there is certainly concern in the government that this issue is being used as a way to shame and weaken the government in mexico. >> right and president pena nieto has moved to have a special investigator to look into these students but also the thousands of other mexicans who are missing. why has it taken him so long to

do this, especially since it has turned into such a big black eye for him? >> a great political question, many believe that president pena nieto mexican government missed a number of political chances. he should have done yesterday's meeting about a year ago. he should have gone immediately to the - -- to graifer guerrerow some concern for the disappeared students and whe whether this wr was not if you want to say the word, the federal government's guilt. however did he not do that out of political concerns on his agreements or whatever agreements there were with the governor who was a parody, a democratic revolutionary governor and the mayors of the citizens which were also on the

prd coalition. so this thing should -- comes somehow as too little too late. >> right. so in your mind is what's happened over the past year, is it because of corruption? or are we looking at sheer ineptitude in a country where crime often goes unpunished? >> i think that -- i mean it's impossible to say, corruption is out of the way. especially in an area where there is such a big impact such a big influence of drug trafficking groups. but at the same time, there is a great degree of ineptitude in the mexican police, in the duty-share system. we could by no means discard. >> when pena nieto -- pena nieto came into power saying he was going to rid the country of corruption and deal with crime,

homicides are up has he been a complete failure on this front? >> look, he has made some reforms, he has said some reforms he has introduced a new please corp, but these kind of reforms are not the right kind of reforms that can be brought about just in a few days few months. it takes time. now having said that the problem for mexicans in general if the reform has to work now. and that is pena nieto's problem at this point. >> jose always good to have you with us, appreciate you taking the time for us. thanks. she is a popular opera and folk singer, but she's probably best known for her fashion notes. coming up how the first lady of china is grapg th grabbing the .
