fighters was attacked by al nusra. the fighters were seen last week. a future resolution in syria must involve the removal of bashar al-assad. >> the announcement of the turn over the weapons was a major disappointment. but not exactly surprising. this is not the first time pt force had to content with nusra, and it's oftentimes that weapons that are moved into syria do have to be handed over to separate groups. more for the training equipped program. any solution has to have bashar al-assad stepping down. if we want to accept that syria is a divided country, perhaps there could be something else, but the longer bashar al-assad is there, the longer they will be divided pope francis celebrated mass

at new york's madison square gardens. it's usual usually associated with sport and intern tain: it was -- entertain: it was packed with 25,000. >> translation: big cities conceal the faces of all showing people that don't appear to belong, or second class citizens. in big cities, beneath the roar of traffic and the pace of change. so many pass by unnoticed because they have no right to be there or be a part of the city. >> the mass was the pope's last event in new york. earlier he addressed the u.n. with wide-ranging speeches focussing on war and the environment. he visited a school with mainly minority children. >> in harlem, some waited for hours to see pope francis. there were high expectations. >> it's a blessing, a once in a

lift opportunity. >> there were signs of the pontiff anywhere, they wanted a real thing. there it is, it happened fast. this is what they were waiting for, the emotions of the moment overwhelming. >> i'm so excited. it's a sober moment for america. yes. >> it's so emotional. >> i'm seeing the pope. >> reporter: francis's visit to a school of mostly minority children created an unscripted and lighter moment. his message was simple. earlier in the day stephanie and her best friend waited five hours to try to see the pope as he arrived at ground zero. she said this is a pope like no other. >> there is something good about him. he's refreshing. stands for the right things. it makes you bebelieve, restores your faith. >> thousands of people waited outside the barricades,

positioning themselves for the best view. the pope was in full force. whether he wanted to wear it or pin it on you, he could take it home. >> pope francis didn't pass by on his way out. at the end of the day, outside madison square garden, where the pope made the evening mass, others made another attempt to get a glimpse. whether it was excitement to see him or disappointment to not. this pope sparked curiosity. >> switzerland temporarily banned the sale of volkswagen dated emission the systems. it's the latest development in a scandal leeting to the re-organisation.

11 million cars contained software to trick the emissions test. it could lead to fines of $18 million. volkswagen is trying to contain the fall out. a new report from european autocompanies are said to be inflated. rob reynolds has more from berlin hard on the heels of the volkswagen emissions scandal, comes a report that european cars emissions are lower than manufacturers claim. >> consumeser have been lied to. the discrepancy is getting larger. >> reporter: the international council on clean transportation romp says the difference between the broachure figures and the real world reached an all-time high. with road and highway driving, consuming 30% more fuel under carmakers laboratory conditions.

the gap between the test results and real-world driving is explained by vehicle manufacturers, exploiting loopholes in the regulations. lab tests can be manipulated by using special overinflated tyres, sealing them and other measures. >> the problem that we are seeing with some time now, the results achieved in the laboratory are not matched by results achieved while the vehicles are out there in use. it refleghts the use of the vehicle. the performance that you and i could expect, when they are driving around. >> lower fuel efficiency means individual cars produce for greenhouse gases. environmentalists say. >> pollution in europe causes about 400 to 500,000 premature

deaths every year. the cost for society are immense, and obviously no one thought about taking action until right now. >> the fuel efficiency gap has an impact not only on global climate and people's lungs. it affect their wallets. the report says the discrepancy means car owners will spend an extra 450 euros, for 500 on fuel every year. >> reporter: f.i.f.a. president sepp blatter is under criminal investigation in switzerland. the head of football's world governing policy has been questioned about alleged illegal payments. it's almost 4 months since he announced he'd step down from his post. lee wellings has more. >> reporter: the net on the criminal investigation has been

closing around f.i.f.a. headquarters. the the question had been when the investigation reached president. the answer coming on the day sepp blatter chaired an executive meeting. behind closed doors, sepp blatter was interrogated by the attorney-general and his data seized. peter waited for a press conference that never happened. platter accused of misappropriation of funds. misappropriation of funds.c once again the disgraced vice president jack warner was involved. in a statement the attorney general said: sepp blatter accused of abusing his position with that contract and one signed in 2011 for work done a decade order. -- earlier. that payment to michelle batin. >> the u.e.f.a. president is set to replace sepp blatter but he was was questioned and embroiled

in a sorry mess along with others on the executive committee. a form of denial came from sepp blatter's lawyers. they said: ironically f.i.f.a. announced plans for transparency. >> he'll have to be suspended, referred to the ethics committee, the body that handles the advances. and nanses within f.i.f.a. if he refers to the committee, he'll have to be suspended. he's due to stand down, i think that is when the election for a new president takes place, this is the end for sepp blatter. outside of u.e.f.a., long before outside of u.e.f.a., long before the federal bureau of investigation's intervention in may, the swiss attorney-generally general's team cooperated.

the work continues, leaving f.i.f.a. in turmoil with a discredited president. an organization torn apart from crime sports presenter jo is here to discuss this with us. as you know, a lot are asking with everything that is going on, why is sepp blatter still there. why hasn't he stepped down? >> he is going to step down as president of f.i.f.a. after 17 years. not until february. the presidential elections are happening then. you could argue that he has not been charged with anything, it's only the criminal investigation. f.i.f.a. answers only to f.i.f.a. and he is at the top of the house of cards. they could suspend him, making the position untenable. he's likely to resign and end his career with more dignity

than that. >> there's more to come out. we think of this assist a case of what is going on. investigators have to go through terabytes of data. the latest comes from criminal investigations. they are sifting through massive amounts of data. it's known as forensic accounting. they are looking at the tiny details, meaning that the vags could take years. alongside that investigation, the u.s. investigation, looking into rehabilitation tear whying and bribery, they are working to work together. we know that. the u.s. prosecutors promised more arrests in the coming weeks. >> stay tuned. >> thank you for that. >> more to come here on al jazeera. firsty for rain. people in botswana in the grip of a severe water crisis.

>> why a law designeded to unite iraq's militias are stalling and why sepp blatter is not the only name in football to fall foul of investigators. details in sport let's get more on our top story. the pentagon admitting that u.s.-trained fighters in syria handed over ammunition and equipment to a rebel group linked to al qaeda. professor of international relations at the london school of economics. and joins us live fro the french capital. how much of an edge does this give to the mus ra front. do we know the types of weapons and equipment handed over to them. >> it doesn't matter.

this is not about the can't di or the quality of the weapons, it's about the symbolism, embarrassment for the group. it exposes an element. it shows a powerful faction inside syria, and the weakness of the free syrian army, and i.s.i.s. with the islamic state. all in all, it's not a good day for the president obama administration or the moderate civilisation. russia has been saying the u.s. led is not effective. now president obama is meeting in the next few days in new york. this goes to show that the -

that president obama doesn't have a strategy, it's the final nail. >> i'm talking about the u.s. strategy, and what does it mean for the future of the u.s. programme, efforts to train the fight erls, do you think? >> i think my take on it, it was quite ironic that the spokesperson of the white house insinuated that it was forced to carry out the army of the syrian fighters. it is blaming its critics for forcing itself to go on. with such a programme. it tells you a great deal that the obama administration did not want to do it in the first place. it was forced to do it. it did not have heart or mind in this programme. it relies on local forces. but the only local forces are

the kurds. there's a major problem between the kurds in syria and turkey. they are trying to reassure turkey that the kurds are not the major driver. on the ordinary hand there's no other force that the administration trusts inside syria. where do we go from here. there's no light at the end of the tunnel. it's a messy situation in syria now. >> the picture of disarray that you paint contrasts sharply with russian intervention in syria and the reports of military build-ups by russia, is the u.s. fluence being replaced. if so, what does that mean for the conflict in syria? >> i think this is an important question. it shows the reluctance and

ambivalence of the foreign policy, that the middle east and syria are not a priority for president obama. on a bigger scale, on a greater scale, it shows the end of the moment, not just the least by the international system. the ukraine, syria allegations, and shows the assertion of russian power. and what it means for syria. you'll see a more assertive russian role inside syria, along with china and americans feel basically in a weak position. vis-a-vis russia, that is escalating the position. even the government. bashar al-assad position has been strengthened a great deal. and the inaptitude of the administration. all in all, nothing qualitative would take place in syria.

it's a big mass, and at in the moment, the russians have scored major gains politically and symbolically in the middle east and syria. >> thank you for that. >> china and the u.s. agreed to fight corruption, money laundering and the finance of terrorism. president obama has been holding talks with his chinese counterpart. the two leaders announced agreement on cyber security. president obama said they had candid discussions. patty culhane reports. >> it was a noisy visit. a welcome visit inside the white house and out. >> protesters for and against the meeting which is about more than the pageantry of a formal vist. >> this is a meeting with a packed agenda, as they met the

press, it was clear they got car are far on the to-do list. on cyber theft president obama said they reached an agreement that china will not do it or support it in the future. >> the question now is are words followed by action. and we'll watch to make an east as to whether congress has been made. the u.s. will consider sanctioning chinese companies. the tough cone continued when it crime to the disputed islands in in the south china see. oilds since ain tent times. we have the right to upheld territorial sovereign hooity, rights and interests. >> president obama said the chinese agreed to put in a cap and change system.

making it expensive to pollute the environment. >> it's huge for the planet. the most important peace that is outstanding is what will happen for ianna's emissions going forward. they are concrete steps, new systems for dispatching cystry. where they didn't agree on everything, but they need each other now. >> newly released satellite pictures though china completed a run way. it appeared to show the landing crip. the issue of the hilds has been a source of tension between china and its neighbours.

>> the world leaderers pledging to eradicate poverty within 15 years, one of several goals adopted at the united nations. replacing the millennium goals that expired this year, and include a name change. the u.n. says one in nine people around the world it hungry. that's 795 million people. they want to end poverty and push for food security. 103 million young terse caned read or right. the goals promote educational opportunities. the u.n. wants to assess affordable and sustainable energy plies for all. >> and for the southern african nation of botswana, help can't come too soon. they are facing a water crisis and the situation is getting

worse. >> another day and no water. villages outside have been without running water for three weeks. they collect rations from storage containers. when i go to work, i rite my children clean. in the evening i watch them and reuse their water to wash myself. the sacrifice is not a main concern. i'm worried about the health of my kids. i wonder if my kids will five the situation. >> the family reuses water for a third day. down the road at the water collection point residents reserve their place in line. hoping the municipality will deliver water. >> this was the capital city, a main source of water. it failed, but know water.

it is expected to be the driest season. each day the city is short of water. botswana's minister says inadequate infrastructure is making the transfer of water across the country difficult. >> water is life. as minister, i have to be worried. worried yid ta it holds up, and the rejects that we do kick in on time. >> businesses are cashing in on supplying water. at the largest hospital. water supplies are increasing. they need thousands of litres a day. our university operates every day. we have patients needing the

services. the best we can do is delay the treatment. the hospital cut back on routine procedures, now it's emergency operations only. frustration is building. the government is saying it will take two years before the country has a sustainable water supply an alleged member of the group is to be prosecuted at the international criminal court for destroying buildings in timbuktu. the city is listed as a u.n.e.s.c.o. site. simply religious sites in mallee were attacked. it was worshipped. it's the first time they'll here a case connected to the destruction of mali sites. >> iraqi politicians are due to discuss a crucial law designed to bring national unity and defeat i.s.i.l. the national guard law is

controversial and unpopular among those it will most effect. imran khan explains. >> seven weeks ago a battle to retake the ramadi city from i.s.i.l. fighters. security forces have not taken the capital of anbar province. >> in that time a crucial piece of legislationlation designed to unite the army, hopes have stalled. the spokesman said the national guard law at this stage is ineffective and will destroy iraq and not united. we want the national guard to be based on a national federal and elitist force okey to the armed forces. the prime minister. we have a clear rejection. in which we don't want a force divided by iraq's provinces. what the militia said fare is that if the bill is passed in

its counter form, it could lead to the division of the army. there's plenty of signs of the unity. it is a very real fear that the national guard law could mean a kurdish, sunni and shia army that could face each other. there are political problems with this. sunni politicians say the shias are opposed to the law. the militias want to take over the army. the national guard law will be discussed. it is believed that it will be owned. they have the force to stand you have, and the law promotes sectarian divisions. if these differences continue, it may lead to a clash in parliament i.s.i.l. fighters took

advantage of iraq's political differences and held on to territory for a year. the syrian conflict and the chaos in the region benefitted the armed group. iraqi politicians know that i.s.i.l. need to be tweeted. but they are divided on how to achieve that. >> let's get weather with everton. you'll talk about a typhoon heading to taiwan, how is it shaping up. >> it's winding in. looking at the satellite. you can see clearly storms there. a big eye on the storm. it's intensifying and will gather speed further over the next 18-24 hours or so. that's the position at the moment. it will make its way further north-west, just to the north of taipei there. presently there's sustained winds. gusting 230 k/hr. the usual damage is likely. we are looking at those very,
