9:04 am
who controls what territorial waters are there anyway, they've been in dispute for that for decades. stopping the syrians from leaving is going to be very difficult, although that's what the europeans want the turks to do, as well as give those require you know, the right to work in turkey. >> thank you. >> in eastern europe, slovenia is limiting refugees it takes in from croatia. thousands waiting in a no man's land between slovenia and croatia >> most escaping war, trying to find refuge in europe. >> in many 10 days, we would have 35,000 migrants in

capital of jerusalem. from the palestinian point of view, this is just going to fuel further anger at the occupation of east jerusalem and palestinian territory as a whole. >> p.l.o. executive committee member has been holding a press conference in the occupied west bank. she says israel has been deliberately provoking palestinians and so young people are rising up against the occupation. >> they are saying that no matter how harsh the occupation or how long, the palestinians will not accept it. that's wise you're seeing young people who are willing to die to be free, literally, who are facing an israeli army that is armed to the teeth and that uses violence within sections and with even directives and legislation to use violence to shoot to kill. even an israeli public is being turned into vigilantes by the
9:10 am

9:11 am
>> at least not only the government, this his the other problem, there is no opposition. actually the opposition is bypassing sometimes the government from the right, and the head of the opposition herzog is promising us we will never withdraw from east jerusalem and we have to be tough and the government is doing the right thing, so there is no other option. there is no other option, because even kerry is saying that he's going to meet netanyahu only to find a solution for the conflict on the temple mount, but he is not going back to deal with the core of the issue, which is the occupation and the lack of hope in bolt societies that we are going to see an end to the conflict and the tragedy. of course people feel that there is lack of control, that there is no responsible adult in jerusalem and in ramallah, as
9:12 am

9:17 am
campaign have shown mr. trudeau's liberals surging to a narrow lead today. the opposition party were in first and dropped into a distant third. as for mr. harper and the conservatives, his party's in a solid second with about a third of the support of those polled. >> none of these polls suggest a clear victory for any party in this british style westminster democracy. after four and a half years of a harper majority, can danes may have to brace themselves for a minority administration. they've been here before. >> that's been quite common in canada to have hung parliaments. as long as you have a fairly stable minority government, it can work for a long time. ♪ ♪ >> satirical song put together by a federal civil servant who was promptly suspended has gone viral on social media. it's called harper man and does sum up the desire for a change in government, among two thirds of canadians.

there's two doctors here and there's about 2500 people here. >> from the border we have this report, it sounds like a pretty grim picture for the refugees there. tell us where you are and what you've been seeing. >> >> there's hundred was refugees trying to enter a refugee camp here at the croatian site of the border. it's cold, raining and blowing. there are hard winds here, so winder is coming, and it's not easy for these people to handle the situation. they are frustrated with the way things in serbia, they are waiting for to enter the refugee camp. they will be registered, given food, other supplies and medical assistance if needed. after a couple of hours, they will be transferred further to slovenia and other western europe countries, but the problem is that slovenia has
9:20 am
slowed down the in flow of refugees and reduced the number of people which are willing to accept on a daily base. croatia have done the same thing and that's why there are so many people stranded on the serbian side. croatian authorities are asking serbian government to do more in coordinating with the crisis and to give all these people some kind of shelter and assistance until they will be able to enter croatia. >> where is it that these people ultimately want to end up? >> >> well, i talked to many of them and they all want to go to western europe. they are mainly target is germany, so that is their final destination, but some are mentioning denmark and also sweden and norway as a countries which they would like to go. they were offered in croatia
9:21 am

9:23 am
right now, the biggest problem is infrastructure. >> we'll get more details from richard. how long does kappu look like it will hang around. >> we don't know at the moment. the actual movement is slow. it's at a walking pace. that's the issue. it's going to continue raining and raining. in terms of rainfall, this thing is absolutely phenomenal. it's been 450 millimeters of rain since saturday. to put that into context, these are annual rainfall temperatures between 600 and 1500 millimeters of rain. it's certainly possible that some parts could see between 1,000 and 1,300 millimeters of rain. there is a precedence for this. we have to go back as far as october 2009 when typhoon parma
9:24 am
hit. since then, the warning system has got better, organizations got better in terms of emergency evacuations, but you see now, the winds, the tropical storm now or very soon will be, but it's the speed of movement, only nine kilometers per hour towards the north. dragging its feet, it's going to take another 36 hours before it begins to pull away. by then, with that we really flow certainly on the western side, there is going to be a vast amount of rain coming down. the rain will fall and rivers continue to fill. over the next few days, the situation will be truly grim. >> thank you for that. >> separatists in indian administered kashmir called for a complete shut down in the valley to protest the death of a muslim truck worker sunday. petrol bombs were thrown on to his vehicle following rumors that cows had been slaughtered in the area. the cow is sacred to many.

9:26 am
violence, condemned the tension that has spread across various communities, but many people and analysts are still waiting for a big response from the government. they say that a clear response, a clear policy direction is what they are looking for and that perhaps is the only way to keep fringe elements, particularly extreme hundred do groups in check and prevent the further tension and trouble we're seeing at the moment. >> some news just coming in to us, eight people have been killed and 11 wounded in an explosion along lebanon's border with syria. security officials say the target of the attack seems to be syrian opposition fighters who were gathering in the area. joining us on the line from beirut is a retired lebanese general, also a strategic analyst. thanks for joining us elias. can you tell us what you are hearing? do you have anymore details?

9:29 am
deemployees and it from the air, but it's not yet known whether it is a drone or helicopter, but likely, it is drone attack, because the lebanese army helicopter did not launch any air strike by missiles, using missiles so far in this front, so anyway, it is new for that area. >> tens of thousands of miners in africa are battling for a class action case against the gold industry heard in court, saying they respected lung disease while working underground and want compensation. if they succeed, it could be one of the biggest lawsuits of its

9:39 am
afghans to leave afghanistan in hopes of finding better economic prospects. >> yes, indeed. the economic situation has been worsening since early 2014, and unfortunately, in addition to the reduced level of financial assistance from the international community, they spill over from nato spending also vanished. nato has a small force in afghanistan and at one time, the u.s. military alone was spending more than $100 billion in afghanistan. that was considerable in the economy. the afghan government, because of the one year of struggle and challenges that are faced has had little time to commit itself to improving the afghan economy. we are in a situation where young afghans don't see the purchasing in afghanistan.

9:41 am
of investing their money because of what happened in hundred did you say. it could happen anywhere in the country. international investors are not interested in afghanistan. even the mining sector was a hope for the afghan people and for the afghan nation. even china is not investing and other important companies that were interested in afghanistan, because of slowdown of economy in china, the raw materials are not a good nodty right now in the market. ine investment in the mining sector is not something that we could see in the near future. >> is there also a fear that a poor economy could also boost recruitment for the taliban? if you can't aput food on the table, your more open to getting money from elsewhere. >> yes, indeed, we are already seeing this phenomenon, not only young people are joining the
9:42 am
taliban, but we see reemergence of strong war lords that have access to resources and they can recruit young people and we will be in a situation where the government authority will further diminish and not only in rural area, but in some towns and cities, like in the case of kunduz. this is very bad for the government, because the government wants to reinsert its authority, but it is faced with tremendous challenges, an economic challenge is indeed one of the most fundamental challenge for the national unity government. >> thank you for that. speaking to us live from kabul. >> the gradual slowdown of china's economy is continuing to 6.9%, the lowest level in six years. the senior asian economist at oxford economics said the chinese slump will affect the
9:43 am
rest of the world. >> the number of people would actually be quite surprised to g.d.p. grew only 6.9%, given the slowdown in the real estate sector in terms of the heavy industry. in terms of what it means, well, i think what it's really showing is that the economy is slowing, but not slowing as dramatically as what some may be thinking. it's like a two speed economy going. for the rest of the world, the fact we're seeing the real estate sector grow, more of the heavy industry slow significantly, this is bad news for the rest of the world. these are very important tensive sectors and fact we're seeing this adjustment and weakening activity means the import demand is slowing significantly. in terms of the impact on the rest of the world, we are seeing that this is a bad impact. >> the economy may be sloping down but hasn't stopped demand for development in china's capital. one of chinese toy markets is about to close before the bull dosessers move in.

9:46 am
body, meaning you are more likely to develop melanoma. doesn't mean you will, you have a higher risk. you should monitor your skin and any changes more closely. >> lead author of that report says the new research will help doctors identify patients most at risk. >> this method could help in screening the patient, but of course, it is not just a way, you look at all the numbers of moles on the body. it is strongly predictive of the risk of developing melanoma. it is a tumor that derives from cells. >> still to come, sweet reunion, korean families prepare to meet after a lifetime apart. >> it was a very bumpy ride for one player. we'll have the details and the

9:50 am
