carrying 200 refugees sinks. bursting with life. while flowers begin to bloom in a desert in chilly we begin in vienna where world leaders arrive ahead of talks to find a solution to the war in syria, it's the first time all national players will be in the same room. there are serious divisions on wednesday. iran saying it would take part in the talks, the first time the country agreed to be involved. on one side russia and iran are backing bashar al-assad's forces and say damascus must be helped militarily before a political process can begin, on the other side turkey and saudi arabia support groups fighting bashar al-assad, and insist he must go. every day, of course, the humanitarian situation worsens,

more than 250,000 have been killed, 10 million displaced by four years of war. saudi arabia's foreign minister says the involvement of bashar al-assad's allies reveal whether they are committed to peace. >> the view of the partners in this was that we past the intentions of the iranians and the russians about their seriousness in arriving at a political solution in syria, which we all prefer. >> well, let's talk to mohammed jamjoom who is in vienna. you couldn't get more opposing sides if you tried sitting at the same table. how will this work. what are they expecting? >> i think that everybody is wondering how this will work. today we are expecting more bilateral meetings taking place. we are told that the u.s. secretary of state john kerry has arrived in austria and

should be here at the location, the imperial hotel within the next half hour. the saudis, i'm told, will arrive later this evening. ministry of foreign ayres said that that delegation will arrive later. we are not sure about the russians and the turks. the talks setting the stage for what will happen tomorrow. tomorrow is the key day. not only do you have a newly invigorated process of trying to make sure there's a bit call solution to the war in syria, but as you mentioned, the iranians will be here for the first type, the first time that the key layers, those that back the syrian opposition and those that back bashar al-assad, will be in town. we anticipate that could make a difference when it comes to the talks. let's not forget the geneva agreement signed about 40 months

ago has not been implemented. there's a push to make sure there's a solution. there's a lot of distrust between the israelis and saudis who back the syrian opposition. it will make for interesting talks today and tomorrow. the positive impact it so make a change on the humanitarian disaster that we see. >> yes, that's true. just in october alone, places like aleppo, syria, because of the fighting there has been at least 120,000 newly displaced people. it shows that - what a contrast there is between the innate settings, and what is going on

in syria, spiralling more and more out of control. one of the key things that everyone is asking is will the syrian opposition be here. some are saying they have not been invited, and are disappointed. in the past, when they have been invited to conferences such as these, it has not made a difference to a war that is worsening. there has been reports of bombings in the southern part of the country. air strikes taking place, it doesn't look like anything is getting better, even in anticipation of the talks, a renewed round of diplomacy, and what happens tomorrow is key in seeing if a political solution will be pulled out when the opposing political forces get together around the table in vienna. >> i was going to ask you about that. we see an increase in the fighting, in the air strikes,

what impact are they looking at from a military point of view. or is that too early yet? >> i think it's too early to know militarily. politically what everyone is discussing in the lead-up to these talks is what is going to happen when it comes to the idea of political transition in syria. there's a lot of interesting moves and indications in the mast few days, on the one -- past few days, you have the u.s., opposed to the idea of bashar al-assad continuing in power in syria. they seem to be softening their don on that front -- tone on that front. indicating that it might be tolerable for the u.s. if bashar al-assad was present in some sort of capacity in a political transition process in syria as long as at some point he steps down. now you have the ryanians present.

and they have been looking to push forward. bashar al-assad stated when he spoke to russian officials that he may be willing to call elections - parliamentary and presidential - in syria, if the syrian people were for that. there's a lot of talk about the political transition in syria, if and when bashar al-assad is willing to step aside. the fact of the matter is every time there has been talks, it has not yelled a discernible difference, and the known is will this round of talks, will it yield difference on the ground in syria, militarily or politically. >> and you'll tell us what you find out. >> an israeli border policeman shot dead a palestinian man that tried to stab n israeli soldiers. he was wounded ahead.

it is the latest intent and five weeks of violence between israelis and palestinians. the united nations warned violence between israelis and palestinians could lead to a catastrophe. security forces have been told not to interfere with the process. >> reporter: it's an almost daily event but in the cat and mouse with the youth and the palestinian army - areas like this under palestinian authority control, the security forces are keeping a low profile. >> translation: now that the violence interposed and there are many martyrs, there's no way for the security forces to stop us, if they try, the first thing they do is turn against the palestinian authority your. >> in recent years, things like

this, security forces confronting protesters, stopping them marching towards checkpoints angered many people. in the left few weeks, rather than being present, the men in uniform kept their distance. al jazeera tried to get an official to comment on the tactic. no one was available. people are being monitored and arrested. they don't want to be seen to be antagonizing a young generation of activists. there's a twist in the cycle of protests. university students use social media to organise alternative demonstrations where the flags of palestinian factions are noticeably ab sent. >> one thing they are listening to, political leadership, they are taking initiatives.

nobody knows when or how the latest upsurge in violence ends. in the meantime there's so much frustration that by and large, they are left to their own devices. >> 242 people have been rescued by the greek coast guard after they capsized. three died. that figure is expected to rise. rescue teams are searching for fivers, more than 500 entered greece. lesbos is a gate way. paul brennan has the latest. >> reporter: the fishing boats emerged from the darkness, racing into port with no time to lose. huddled on the deck, wrapped in tarpaulins, blankets, a few of the survivors of another tragic thinking. they look bewildered.

unsure whether to smile or weep. the volunteers, medics sprang into action. a young child was among the first passed assure. unharmed but shocked into violence. many were worse. in the darkness, the key side was transferred into an emergency center. volunteers tended to the survivors looking to be suffering hypothermia and shock. some appear to be slipping away. a child wrapped in blankets was

hurriedly transported to hospital in the arms of a paramedic. others were able to walk. the island of lesbos has been receiving five, six, 700 refugees. this is not the first sinking tragedy here. residents are deeply affected by it. babies are drowning. i'm 67 years old. i can't hold back my tears. it's the save that must help. since we are small. they must do the job. people drowning are our own blood. we are sorry, what else can we do. more survive, these in better conditions. the totals from this tragedy may never be gown. >> coming up, more than 50

african leaders attend a key summit in india, there's controversy over the presence of the sudanese president bashir. >> we cannot elect someone that doesn't know how to do the job. republican presidential hopefuls try to show they are the right person for the top job. coming up.

doubt from 25 million to 70 billion this year. there has been a controversy, wanted by the international court for alleged war crimes. the icc is asking new delhi to arrest bashir. >> reporter: this indian-african summit in new delhi is what india wants from resource-rich nations, and the kind of things that merging economies need from an asian economic powerhouse. there are nations like nigeria, sudan, that has the energy resources like oil that india needs to continue along a path of high economic growth, on the other hand india has expertise and human resources that nations need. things like health care, technology. india has been building the expertise for years.

it is approaching the african continent in a different way compared to china. china focused on public works, big infrastructure structures, india is looking to play a capacity building role, an nation-building role, focussing on the education sector, providing the pharmaceuticals that african nations need as health care sectors open up. this is a mutually beneficial relationship. one that india is keen to grow given the climate and one that african nations are looking to encourage. >> no wonder the country is hoping to benefit from the indian-african submit. the president wants to bring in more cash. we have this report from red cliff. the recent partnership could help revive the industry zimbabwe's manufacturing sec

even then i worked in this company. i raised my children from this company. but the wage is happening now. workers have been told by the government a new investor is coming. this used to be a large manufacturer before it collapse said. more than 5,000 worked here, the place was busy and the steel sold all over the world. some fear invested of course, allegations of corruption, and intonisation, a policy favouring them. >> the motivation is to scale up the involvement of locals in the economy. and it is a good policy. it froiffedz -- provides for political stability.

mosque in the center of hebron. the israeli sources are saying that the man had stabbed a soldiers before he was shot dead. palestinian sources say they believe they'd been checked and walked 50 meters before being shot dead. so a completely conflicting narratives. we know the man was in his narratives. it's believed he was from the city which was a flashpoint over the last few weeks. many people here are angry at what they call extrajudicial killings by the israeli security forces. in some says innocent people have been shot dead. and they have applicant a knife on the body to claim there'd been an attack.

there is a lot of mistrust here about what is going on. for the media it's hard to verify which account is true. all we can say is this does raise the death toll of the number of palestinians killed in the violence this month to 65. on the israeli people, nine have died in the same period. there has been accusations from either side of incitement. it will be hart for people not to react. on a daily basis, there has been scenes of rock-throwing, and they respond with tear gas and live rounds. which killed people. the economy took center stage. at times the exchanges bim
