2:00 pm
london. s. >> hello, i'm lauren taylor. this is the news hour live from london. coming up in the next 60 minutes as more funerals are held we ask the secretary general what can be done to end violence between israel and the palestinian areas. president bashar al-assad flies to rush to thank president putin for his help. and... >> unfortunately, i believe we're out of time.
2:01 pm
the time necessary to mount a winning campaign for the nomination. >> u.s. vice president joe biden ends months of speculation ruling out a white house run. >> robin adams here with sport. live from doha. another night of with another named in the fifa corruption investigation. >> a palestinian man has driven a car into a group of soldiers north of the city of hebron. there have been multiple injuries. the driver of the car was shot dead. that incident comes amid calls for an end of violence which appears to be making very difference. two palestinians were killed on wednesday in the west bank. one was shot and killed in are a mall lay after allegedly
2:02 pm
attacking a soldier with a knife. the other died of suffocation from tear gas in hebron. and as the violence continues, ban ki-moon has met with palestinian president mahmood abbas in efforts to calm the situation. elsewhere on the diplomatic front, prime minister benjamin netanyahu is expected to meet secretary of state john kerry on thursday. netanyahu is already there for talks with chancellor angela merkel. >> diplomacy from jerusalem to the west bank. calling for calm in what is called a dangerous escalation. palestinian president mahmood abbas makes it clear that the palestinians have a right to protect themselves. and they want to return to negotiations with the israelis, a message that they will bring with secretary of state john kerry.
2:03 pm
>> secretary state john kerry knows what we want. we want to return to gorgeous based on international legitimacy. settlement expansion is illegal. we all know it. let's put that on the table. let's do that, then we'll return to negotiation gas abbas said that they had no choice but to ask for protection. the recent violence has not been just about israel's occupation but crucially the fear that israel wants to change the statute quo of thal aqsa mosque compound. secretary general was asked what the united nations is doing to calm an extremely volatile situation. and what international protection means. >> the protection forces, the
2:04 pm
president is asking the international presence. >> at the al aqsa mosque compound. >> yes. >> thank you for your time. >> the diplomacy seemed a world away from the reality on the ground. there have been steady stream of protests and a recent serge of alleged stabbings of israelis by palestinians. one palestinian was shot dead. and another arrested. this is the funeral for two palestinian teenagers shot dead in hebron tuesday night. the army said that the teens tried to stab a group of oranges soldiers, but local sources say they were unarmed. >> palestine is being robbed of its women and children and elders are being abused. in jerusalem young men are being
2:05 pm
killed without committing a crime, a knife is planted next to them. this obviously had an affect on us and makes us demonstrate. >> two different narratives and two peoples becoming more suspicious of each other. syria'sir serious diplomatic decisions that could impact the fight on the ground. >> in berlin they have been holding talks. let's get more from barnaby phillips who is live for us. tell us more about what was discussed during this meeting. >> they gave a brief statement within the last half hour or so. angela merkel saying the sort of things that you would expect her to say, that she would continue to push very hard for a two-state solution. benjamin netanyahu saying that
2:06 pm
israel was a victory of terror and accusing the palestinian leadership and mahmood abbas of spreading incitement and lice around the al aqsa mosque compound. nothing particularly new there, and no new grounds for opteddi optimism. perhaps more important is the americans secretary of state john kerry will be meeting benjamin netanyahu here on route to the middle east, and we believe a meeting with mahmood abbas. there is certainly international activity, a sense of urgency that something needs to be done to calm the situation in the palestinian territories and israel, but whether that will actually transmit into something tajible, some sort of progress with less ground for optimism.
2:07 pm
>> and the backdrop to this was some controversial comments that netanyahu made about the holocaust. talk us through that? >> yes, this all erupted yesterday when benjamin netanyahu gave a speech in israel. he said that the grant mufti of jerusalem, the palestinian leader at the time, if you like, when he flew here to berlin in late 1941, and had a meeting with hitler, which is on the historical record, he effectively planted the idea in hitler's head that there should be some sort of final solution, some extermination of european jews, that hitler had not been thinking along those lines at the time. now those remarks have caused a great deal of outrage including among israeli, palestinians and not at least germany.
2:08 pm
it wasn't surprising that the two leaders were asked about this in berlin. angela merkel said she saw no need to reininterpret history, and she was in no doubt of the nazi responsibility for the holocaust. >> thank you for that live update from berlin. the u.s. job in politics but vice president joe biden announced he doesn't want to try to run for president. >> unfortunately, i believe we're out of time. the time next to mount a winning campaign for the nomination but while i will not be a candidate i will not be silent. i intend to speak out clearly and forcefully to influence as much as i can where we stand as a party and where we need to go
2:09 pm
as a nation. >> white house worse respondent patty culhane joins me now. what was the main reason deciding not to run. >> well, you have to keep in mind joe biden really wasn't thinking about running. he really had not done the leg work, but then former secretary of state hillary clinton started to stumble. she was polling badly and had a few scandals mainly the fact that she was using a private e-mail server, which is now being investigated by the fbi. then joe biden started thinking about running. then his son bo biden died of cancer in may. he now says that when they mention bo they can smile instead of cry. but now that he's ready to run he is simply out of time. you consider the fact that the presidential election is not more than a year, but basically
2:10 pm
this is a long campaign in the united states. the candidates have been running for months. they've been raising hundreds of millions of dollars combined. the first iowa caucus is four and a half months away. the vice president clearly passionate, clearly sounds he like he wanted to complain, but sounds like he doesn't have enough time to actually win. >> who stands to benefit most with biden not running? >> hillary clinton is having a grat great day. it looked like he would take support away from her. she doesn't have many challengers, her closest contestant is bernie sanders. he's raising quite a bid of money. he has a lot of popular support, but most people inside washington say when democrats look at who can be elected in an general election, bernie sanders is not going to meet that test. it looks like hick will be the
2:11 pm
democratic nominee for president, and it means that she's more hawkish than any of the other contenders. that's the stance for the democratic party is going to take in the general election. >> patty culhane, thank you very much. >> my pleasure. >> syria's president bashar al-assad has made a surprise visit to moscow to meet with russia's president vladimir putin. the pair discussed russia's military involvement in syria. >> it was one of the political surprises the russian president so loves to pull. bashar al-assad, who has not left syria since the country's up rising four years ago visited moscow unannounced. >> the terrorism that is spreading today would have spread to mortar tores not just in our region but to other regions, too. >> russia's airstrikes in syria
2:12 pm
have allowed for president's assad army to go on the offensive after months of set backs. they have also killed 370 people. 127 civilians and 243 fighters. but russia seems increasingly eagle for find a political solution to the war it is now militarily involved in. >> we assume that the long term solution may be reached on the basis of the latest military developments and political process with political, ethnic and religious groups. >> the west insists that assad should step down soon, but putin still shows no sign of abandoning his long-time ally. >> what about the russian people? how do they feel with the syrian war? the clear majority support the air campaign. state tv has pushed the message into millions of homes that
2:13 pm
russia's primary objectiontive is defeating international terrorism. and online austins have been targeted too. this video made by a state-linked production house is going after the computer gaming generation, drone footage has been matched to music sound track. but most people hearsay they have no desire to see russian troops in syria. they've always been told that long messy wars in the middle east are what the united states does, not russia. rory challands, al jazeera, russia. >> thank you for coming in. what do you think the motive is for arriving in russia and the state visit? >> i think that the political process is being started in earnest because you have to look in conjunction with other
2:14 pm
things. for example, the russian special envoy for syria was in cairo just a couple of days before. so rush is now pushing for some kind of political dial up as wel--dialogue as well. >> but they didn't want assad there. the americans said that with the political transition in syria, isn't it trying to get something, a kind of consensus? isn't it the recipe of saying that there is not going to be a political solution? >> i think russia is trying to find this consensus, but talking to everybody who is actually
2:15 pm
eagle for talk with moscow as well. and assad, it could come in many fold. moscow may have been sounding his views and opinions. and. >> on that, russia said we're not going to put out any information. do you have sources of being able to glean any nuggets from those meetings and the possibility of assad's future being discussed in that way? >> it's gleaning. for now. the situation is very complicated and difficult. but judging by all the moves that have been made by moscow now there has to be a political
2:16 pm
process as well. >> on that front. the fear amongst some russians is that russia will get sucked into this and what do you think the time scale is for stopping the military intervention? >> well, president putin said it himself. the time scale is the offensive of the syrian army. that question should be put to the syrian government army. but obviously they do have a time scale because the offensive separation has to be planned in advance. so the thing is that once the regime feels it's sufficiently stabilized, it will have to start some kind of political process as well. i think that's probably what assad and putin will discuss in moscow, what counts next.
2:17 pm
>> what about the operations. the glossy footage that has been put out, do russians sort of willing to accept that kind of portrayal of the war or are they skeptical? >> well, obviously russia's society is a multi facetted society. there are all sorts of opinions, but the majority would support moscow's moves. if only because as president putin said himself, that this could spill over into russia according to estimates between 2,000 to 4,000 russian citizens are fighting in syria, and nobody wants to see them coming home well trained. >> thank you very much, indeed, for coming to talk with us. appreciate it. >> now the russian defense
2:18 pm
ministry said that it's planes have struck dozens of targets. the news agencies say that the strikes have destroyed a factory making landmines and explosives, and other targets with been hit in other provinces including idlib and hama. much more coming up in this news hour in london including... >> on patrol with the thai navy at the end of the typhoon season, there are undocumented migrants from bangladesh. >> and in sport, giving palestine football teams good news. >> a fire has destroyed part of a refugee camp in slovenia. the blaze swept through the tents on the border with croatia. elsewhere there have been
2:19 pm
scuffles as impatient refugees continue their journey. paul brennan is on the border. he has in report. >> the flames spread quickly with tents pitched so closely together the blaze jumps easily from one to the next. firefighters are swiftly on the scene but the damage was already done. much needed emergency accommodation is now ruined. the cause of the blaze isn't yet known. further back along the refugee route, the refugees out in the open have been lighting small bon fires to stay warm. clear skies are better than soaking rain, but the nights are significantly colder. >> we're very worried for the capacity, the people are slow going, and the bottleneck will be problematic. but they're in for a long waiting time and if the weather
2:20 pm
is still good we can still try to do our best providing blankets, provide some food, water, but if there is cold weather getting worse, worse would be very problematic. >> tensions are rising. with routes to western europe are increasingly restricted. desperation and exhaustion sometimes develop into successful between refugees. in slovenia the parliament has deployed soldiers to help police in the transit camps. the army has arrived. this jeopardy is evidence of that, but the numbers are small and we counted no more than five soldiers here today. their role has been rather limited. they're helping to hand out food with the refugees along side the ngos and the police. despite the vote in parliament, the larger contribution to the refugee crisis is still being
2:21 pm
worked out. >> the soldiers' role is to watch over the refugees when they arrive here. if they see something out of place the soldiers must inform the nearest police officer because we're the ones in charge. but the army was very busy today, and i'm grateful for that. >> an extraordinary mini summit of european leaders will convene on sunday, discuss the emergency in the western balkans. images such as these will certainly focus their attention. ball brennan, al jazeera. >> the number of refugees trying to reach europe has focused the world's attention this year. but the situation in asia is just as desperate. they have released a grim report focusing on rohingya refugee in myanmar. many facing persecution in myanmar's rahkine state.
2:22 pm
>> the thai naval crew spot a fishing boat. it is part of procedures to stop vessels. >> if they wish to come to thailand it is our job to explain to them that they will be charged of illegally entering the company. >> navy personnel conduct a seven for weapons and treat other fishermen for minor cuts. they advise to report any unusual activity. the fishing vessel goes on its way. the thai government is trying to prevent a refugee crisis like the one six months ago where thousands of people were left adrift at sea. their smugglers had abandoned them after regional crackdown on the human trade.
2:23 pm
they testified of beating, near starvation and kidnapping by traffickers. many were from bangladesh, but many were rohingya escaping persecution. this man escape myanmar by tracking over land to thailand. >> the myanmar government took away the proof we were citizens. then they say we're illegal migrants and try to push us out of our lands. >> the rohingya have been fleeing from myanmar for years. but it wasn't until thousands washed ashore in malaysia this year that regional counties were force--countries from forced to act. but little has been achieved. a multi country task force has yet to materialize. >> what is lack something a coordinated response where the countries are talking with each other. that's exactly why the task force is required. it's a bit piecemeal. it's a bit ad hoc.
2:24 pm
it's driven in the media. >> the factors that drive people to risk dangerous boat journeys remain. the u.n. high commission for refugees say that it believes there have been test runs, human smugglers trying out new routes. if these new routes are successful there may be more boat loads of refugees. the thai navy wants to prevent them from landing in thailand but many say until conditions improve in myanmar and bangladesh thousands more continue to risk their lives for a chance at a better future. florence, al jazeera, thailand. >> students in cape town have fought with police in protests against higher fees. across south africa, students have shot down campuses demanding that fee hikes be scrapped. >> students protest against fee increases outside of south africa's parliament building saying they simply can't afford them.
2:25 pm
there are calls to lawmakers are quickly made by stun grenades fired by riot police. days of protest begin at johannesburg where management announced a 10% fee hike. about 20,000 students here already require financial aid. >> the vast majority of our students are from the working class. and those students cannot afford a hike in fees, but in particular a hike in tuition which is a mechanism used by the university to systematically force students from the university. >> here they were protesting for 4 hours demanding that the fee hike be scrapped. university and the government have capped fee increases at 6%. >> i wouldn't call it a crisis because we do have ways and means of discussing the matter.
2:26 pm
and i'm hopeful that through that discussion and negotiations and compromises, common solutions can absolutely be found. >> yet students have managed to shut down all major universities in the country. >> students here are saying no. the university management have dropped registration fees by $150. students say that's not good enough. >> one of them is law student who owes the university thousands of dollars for this year's fees alone. she's worried if costs go up next year she won't be able to continue her studies. >> i was raised by a single mother. she was the main breadwinner, but my mother passed away in 2013. that means for any loan, i don't have assurity any more. my breadwinner is my
2:27 pm
grandmother, and she's a pensioner. that doesn't do well as far as paying for secondary education. >> they helped 1,300 fewer students this year. the protests have spread to 11 institutions across the country with students promising to fight on. >> in india a baby and a toddler have been killed in a house fire blamed on tensions between social classes. india social hierarchy is divided by the caste system. the infants were sleeping when the house was doused with petrol and set alight. the mother is in serious condition. >> this has raised questions about caste-based violence as well as the caste system that exists in many communities across the country.
2:28 pm
it shows the polarization about the issue. it is not a new thing but shows how quickly this can become a political question. the vice president visited the scene and family in the stage, and after meeting them he spoke about the idea of these incidents being rife across the country and wanting to stop them. the government of india has condemned this violence and said these things need to stop and there needs to be peace. on the ground at the moment we're hearin hearing that conditions remain tense and there is a high security presence, which is expected to continue for some time. we should also make important note of the fact that this particular area has been susceptible to caste-based violence for many years. >> still ahead on the news hour, ugandan troops prepare to pull out of south sudan, will this help to bring peace to this young, war-torn country?
2:29 pm
2:31 pm
2:32 pm
>> a reminder of the top stories. a palestinian man has driven a car into a group of soldiers north of the palestinian city of hebron. there have been multiple injuries and the driver of the car was shot. so to bring us up-to-date let's go to andrew simmons who is live for us in occupied east jerusalem. tell us more about this latest incident. >> this car was traveling at speed on the route 60, which is north, as you say of hebron. a group of soldiers we're told that four soldiers have been to hospital injured. one is in a moderate to serious
2:33 pm
condition. you no the man was shot by israeli soldiers it's unclear right now whether he's dead because the police initially reported that he was dead. that report has not changed. but the army has not confirmed this. >> this is a series of allege attacks in hebron where there are numerous jewish settlements and allegations of palestinians of being inciting and provoked by jewish settlers. and in return the jewish settlers say that the palestinians have been harassed them. there is a situation of exchange of mutual hatred, if you will. there has been a total of 13
2:34 pm
palestinians shot dead, killed since the beginning of this month since the crisis began. 13 in total, really, fitting a pattern of allege occurrences. >> thank you very much, indeed. just to bring you up-to-date we know secretary of state john kerry has been confirmed, and spokesman confirmed that secretary kerry has tried to find practical ways.

2:37 pm
commander believes that they're vital to security in the country and others may leave when they do. >> of course. >> they think the war will break out. >> on the campus of the university the opinion about what the withdraw means is divided. >> i object with the withdrawal. we want them to we draw after the period. >> is there a way to bring them to south sudan? >> it is more of a political
2:38 pm
move than a military one. >> this will pave the way for other items to be implemented. >> there is still a long way to go before the transitional government can be formed. there are more security processes to put in place and the creation of 18 new states recently has thrown everything into turmoil. the departure from south sudan is a significant step towards creating that new government. al jazeera. >> a sri lankan judge said that allegations that troops committed war crimes are credible.
2:39 pm
they have always denied the troops were guilty. >> china's president xi jinping has been holding tucks with u.k. prime minister david cameron. china will finance one-third of the country's new generation of nuclear power worth more than $36 billion. >> i'm making a statement, elevate our political mutual trust deep and practical conditioning and take china u.k. ties to a new level. >> a fighter jet has been killed. it happened in farmland in the east of england near ely north of london. the jet, an f-18 hornet belonging to the marine attack

2:41 pm
>> thousands and thousands of hectares of rice feels fields are now turned into swamps. they coul the typhoon could not come at a worst time. this was supposed to be harvested. farmers hearsay this is what is left of backbreaking work. it is worth almost nothing. they borrow money from len ders and 60% of their crops destroyed, they are forced to borrow money again and that will leave them in deeper debt. the farmers are among the poorest people in the community here because agriculture has been neglected for the last 20 years.
2:42 pm
>> it goes to buy important rice. >> theven before typhoon hit rice production was already reduced. that has forced the philippines the weather patterns are different and that means the harvest now coincides with the arrival of strong typhoon. some say what is needed now is a shift in government policy. >> it is not acceptable that in every disaster we have give out seedless to recuperate. we need to study which plants can and can't grow. what is more agriculturally sound to grow, what kind of infrastructure should be there so the solutions would be more permanent. >> initial reports from the
2:43 pm
agriculture office, a and that number is expected to rise. they may be held back by the devastation but farmers say for decades they have found ways to cope. even with barely any help from their government. al jazeera, northern philippines. >> calling for an independent inquiry saying that they don't believe a death was suicide. turkish police have released c cctv pictures of the woman's last moments. the circumstances are unclear but she was found hanged. she was working for the institute of peace. >> it's heartbreaking. jackie was a consummate professional, a passionate woman and a dear friend of mine. she's a great loss, and she was a human rights defender working on women's rights in the context of war and conflict, and she is
2:44 pm
a loss to humanity. i don't believe that the statement around her having hanged herself in a toilet cub cubicle in a turkish airport is plausible. i hope that we have an inquiry into the circumstances of her death and it will be transparent and expedient. >> a recent report said that no longer is the worse offender due it is still the most dangerous. we have details from baghdad. >> for 20 years running the observe story out of this small office in baghdad sending out regular reports of every killing and kidnapping. he said rarely has he ever been able to include details of an arrest or conviction in his reports, and that the rise of

2:46 pm
with only one of those ever resulting in a conviction, which is why press freedom groups say anyone who kills a journalist is getting away with murder. >> at a time when iraqi journalists are facing increasing threats, iraq's media industry is booming. now there are around 30 newspapers, 35 news channels and tv stations. it has posed a serious threat to journalists. >> they operate under an official cover. therefore they can target any journalist they are protected from the government.
