eight south africans for killing a mozambique taxi driver and a man that made the trip from africa to europe - and his success story southern afghanistan declared a day of mourning after seven members of the minority hazara community were brutally killed. thousands filled the streets and gathered outside the presidential palace in kabul to protest against the deaths and blame the government for failing to stop the violence. live to jennifer glasse - what is the latest. >> protesters have dispersed. after earlier 7 hours of protesting they marched across town. two women and a nine-year-old girl were killed - the people

were outraged over the deaths calling for the resignation of president ashraf ghani, and chief abdullah. it's one of the largest protests, and is a sense of the anger of people. and it wasn't just the hazara demon straiting. along side them members of the pashtun, tajik's standing in unison. the people were held hostage for months before brutally murdered last week, and their bodies discovered in the province not far - a couple of hours south of here, and brought to the afghan capital last night, and as i said, brought through the streets today. the the demonstration dispersed. it's a sign to the government of the frustration and anger of the people who feel the government is to blame for the murders

because they didn't provide security and afghan security forces failed to rescue the hostages frustration and anger from the people. any reaction from the government? >> the government has, as you said, declared today a day of mourning. also, has promised an investigation into what happened to the people, why they weren't able to be rescued. forc forces tried and failed to rescue them. they were moved dozens of times by their abductors. it's one of many abductions of shi'ites in a sunni country. there has been half-a-dozen, so the hazara community is concerned about the future and the lack of security and accuse the movement of failing to address crimes committed by the

taliban. >> thank you jennifer glasse, reporting from the afghan capital of kabul syria - a long siege of an air base has been broken. the first gain by government forces since russia launched their air strike campaign. the kweires base had been surrounded by rebel fighters and i.s.i.l. it conditions with the united nations envoy to syria urging world powers to build on efforts to end the war. he's briefed the u.n. security council as kristen saloomey reports. >> reporter: the back and forth between government and opposition forces continues days before international players gather in vienna to talk about the political solutions for a 4-year war. at the u.n., battle lines are drawn. special envoy says that this time the talks could be different. >> my message was one word,

momentum. the momentum in vienna need not be missed. think about a few weeks, few months ago where we were, where, in fact, we didn't dream to have russia and the federation and the american sitting and heading the same table. on one side having saudi arabia and iran plus other countries. >> stark divisions remain. opposition forcers shelling the government controlled city latakia is backed by saudi arabia. they say that president bashar al-assad must go for a political solution to be relieved. russian and iranian allies say the focus should be on defeating i.s.i.l. >> the syrian army inflicted losses on a terrorist group. the importance of the fight is the breaking of the siege on the heroes, how important is the

airport, encountering the attacks. we cut the supply routes. control of the airport is an important step in the control of the largest region. bashar al-assad's future should be determined in an election. solving the solution of the bashar al-assad's role and which groups should be included in the opposition will not be easy for world powers. russia submitted a proposal for 18 months of constitutional reforms followed by election, but does not rule out bashar al-assad's election. one thing they share is stabilizing the country. >> reporter: given the ongoing issues, can you see any concrete coming out of the weekend. >> we want the meetings to bring deliverables to the syrian people, and one of them should be reduction of violence. in other words. some type or form of reduction of the conflict. i hope something in na direction

will be -- in that direction will be achieved. >> with a quarter of a million killed, no doubt the people want that two zeina khodr joins us. while we are on the subject of diplomacy, tell us about the proposals circulated bit the russians at the u.n., what this document is all about? >> well, the deputy foreign minister, the russian deputy foreign minister said this is not a document on syria, it is inside that could be discussed. one of those ideas mentioned was an 18 month period, a constitutional reform process, which will be under way in syria, but it will not be chaired by the syrian president bashar al-assad. at the same time it says that bashar al-assad can take part in future elections. some may see it as a compromise.

first of all, we need to know whether bashar al-assad's other ally iran is on board. in this proposal we have to know what bashar al-assad's opponents want. they don't want him involved in a transition process. it - he should not be involved in this. they want him to leave power, some sort of specific time frame. so is this document going to be the start of hard bargaining ahead. undoubtedly hard bargaining is yet to begin. >> the fact that the united states, russia, saudi arabia, iran - they were the main backers of the war in syria, sit down, holding talks, face to face for the first time, really, since the start of the conflict is undoubtedly progress. there are a lot of differences that need to be worked out. if you hold a u.n.-led diplomatic process, you have to decide on who will representatives the prosecution. that will be difficult. another point of contention is who is trd a terrorist --

considered a terrorist in syria. a lot of bargaining has to be done. clearly, there's a momentum. >> right, meanwhile on the ground we have breaking of the siege at the kweires airbase, surrounded by rebel fighters and i.s.i.l. for two years. what is the significance of that? >> well, undoubtedly it's a significant breakthrough of great value, the facility in northern syria gives the syrian government and allies a launching pad, a forward operating base, giving it a stronger position to launch offensives in and around aleppo. we know that the syrian government wants to recapture areas in this province, undoubtedly a significant gain. days of fighting, advancing forces breaking the siege. this is a war with many front lines. they may have won a battle.

on other fronts the government is not making advances on the ground. they've launched offensives in hama, homs, and the aim is to protect the latakia province. yesterday rebels managed to launch mortars into latakia, killing civilians. clearly they did not push the rebels back. many front lines and diplomatic efforts under way, but still this conflict, we are expecting an intensification of the conflict on the ground. >> complicated picture. thank you for putting us in the picture. thank you very much another note on syria - turkey says the u.s.-led coalition fighting i.s.i.l. is considering forming a safe zone. turkey's president recep tayyip erdogan made the announcement ahead of the a meeting of g20 leaders in turkey lots more to come on the al jazeera newshour, including

nigeria's president swears in his cabinet, five months after the election. plus, head to head u.s. republican hopefuls square off in their fourth debate. and this n.b.a. star looks back to his best after seeing his career nearly end. details in sport. the head of russia's anti-doping laboratory quit, after being accused of a cover up. they are at the center of a state-backed doping programme. the russian president vladimir putin is meeting with the head of the sporting federations. more from rory challands, joining us live from moscow. things are moving on at quite a rate aren't they. fill us in. >> actually, the last that we heard from the kremlin press office, that they are in the process of shifting the time and

the place of the meeting that was due to start right about now in sochi. vladimir putin and various heads of the sporting federations here in russia also the sports minister too. we don't quite know where or when this meeting will happen, but we'll keep you updated on that, what we know is the kremlin's spokesperson, they say that doping would not be the main focus of the meeting. the meeting was preplanned and mainly there to cover the preparations for the olympics next year in rio, but said that in some way or another, maybe the doping scandal might be addressed, but it will be definitely addressed. but it seems that the kremlin is starting to wake up to what is turning into a serious problem for russian sport. >> reporter: rain fell on moscow's olympic complex on

tuesday - fitting weather for the current move. this showpiece venue is a legacy from soviets days when the doping scandals were common. those days seem to be back and russia could be cast out of world athletics. >> translation: of course it would be an enormous blow. i repeat once again, the commonsense from the international association of athletics council members that must work in the interest of our thoughts. >> reporter: the russian athletics federation has until thursday to respond to state-endorsed doping. an i.a.a.f. decision is expected over the weekend. a move some top athletes could support. >> i think that action needs to be strong action now. you never want to penalize an innocent athlete. because of the scale and the level, it's a step that has to

be taken. >> reporter: in moscow, the world anti-doping agency's allegations provoked a siege mentality. this building is the address of the moscow anti-doping authority. w.a.d.a. says it was here that athletes paid bribes to have their contaminated samples made disappear. we have tried to get inside and speak to someone from the organization, but security turned us away. >> russia's anti-doping agency impliped that -- implied that w.a.d.a.'s report contained a hidden agenda. >> translation: this is not news to us, but some of the questions had a shampness to them -- sharpness to them and are, if you like, politically loaded. >> reporter: it's difficult to feel anything but gloom. this sports journalist is trying to be toptistic.

>> -- optimistic. >> we should go the same way we did in football, and appoint an independent forum, head of anti-doping system to exclude any of this validation. >> reporter: but it was iggor's paper that called the publication of w.a.d.a.'s report, perhaps the darkest day in the history of russian athletics. >> what happened next, as i mentioned in the report, there's two deadlines looming. thursday, the russian athletics federation is supposed to hand its version of event to the i.a.a.f. friday, they'll meet and decide whether or not to expel russia from international athletics competitions. this will spillover to next week. we have dates on november the 17th, when the russian anti-doping agency rasada is to

report back to the world anti-doping agency and on november 17th and 18th in colorado springs, the world anti-doping association will have a meeting. >> things moving alongs, thank you rory challands u.s. presidential hopefuls held a fourth debate. focussing on economy. donald trump's plan to deport millions of immigrants came under fire. alan fisher has the details. >> reporter: protests greeted the candidates in milwaukee, a small gathering covering many topics. in the debate haul a dominant subject - economy. first question would candidates support the minimum raise to $15. from marco rubio, a resounding no. no hesitation. >> if you raise the wage people are more expensive than

machines, all the automation will be accelerated. here is the best way to raise wages, make america the best place in the world to start a business. tax and review latry reform -- regulatory reform. help to reinvigorate manufacturing. >> reporter: when it came to cut the debt each praised their own tax fund. >> the simple fact of the matter is we hear a lot of promises about the tax cuts or schemes. hillary and the democrats promise everything on the spending side. we have to be responsible what we propose on the tax side. lower taxes, lower spending. >> reporter: one of the hottest exchanges came discussing immigration. donald trump wants to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants. >> jed bush says having the

conversation sends the wrong signal. >> they are doing high fives in the clinton campaign when they hear this. we have to win the presidency. we need practical plans, lay them out. we need to allow people to earn legal status, where they pay a fine, work, don't commit crimes, over an extended period of time they earn legal status. that's the proper path. >> reporter: this was a night where donald trump was not the dominant voice. ben carson struggled. everyone attacked hillary clinton. this was a debate where strength was highlighted and weaknesses exposed. some have personalities to car them through. this is a night that may have changed the race of the republican race now, nigeria is getting a new cabinet after more than five months of waiting.

president muhammadu buhari is swearing in 36 nominees. since may muhammadu buhari has been in charge of the economy and has been in charge of forming cabinet. he appointed himself as oil minister. a political analyst says that the delay raised concerns about the president's ability to make decisions. >> a lot of muhammadu buhari's supporters thing that this was necessary, and the delay was effectively a reflection of the rot that nigeria has been. from a business perspective people find if frustrating, probably will take it as an indication of an indecisive precedent. >> the decision was bizarre, as someone that observed nigeria. muhammadu buhari made the arguments that the ministers were not necessary to be put in pace, where they were competent enough to hold the government in

place, keeping the machinery going. to have them sacked, it begs the question was the state running effectively, under the groups where they'll be sacked. it raises eye browse. they are getting to the point so people know who the point of responsibility is a south african court sentenced eight police officers to prison. convicted of killing a mozambique taxi driver. we cross to tonya page. what happened in court? >> the judge was uneequivocal delivering his sentence. he wanted to make an example. police brutality is unacceptable and said they lost control, it was inconceivable that mozambique, a taxi driver - a

young man with a family to support - that he could be assaulted, arrested, dragged through the streets and beaten in a police cell to die alone of head injuries. he said that these police officers needed to be made an example of. he didn't believe the versions of events, excuses and lies. and the police officers delivered trying to get out of this. they have shown no remorse. the judge was adamant to make an example of these, the sort of attitude and action towards citizens and that actions on the streets might not be tolerated by the courts. >> the pictures are abhorrent. the judge said life sentences were not appropriate as they were on duty and had excellent service records. >> up until that point the prosecution and defense had, in

their submission, said that life sentences would be out of proportion, and there was no premeditation in the actions, that progress is saying individuals didn't get out of bed and decide to commit murder, it was something that happened in the moment. the facts are that they promised through, beating the man in the police cell, that was damning. the mobile phone footage that went viral shocked people outside and within the country, and was evidence. i spoke to the lawyer representativesing the family, and he thought without the mobile phone footage, the family would not have had the justice they've been given today. they are pleased with the sentence. they want compensation from the government. they left behind a family. >> thank you very much.

tonya page reporting there. a u.n. peacekeeper has been killed in the central african republic. the u.n. soldiers were greeted by them. the country is hoping to welcome pope francis at the end of the month chinese authorities warn that pollution remained high. the heavy smog brought road and air traffic. increased air pollution has been worsened by coal burning during the week. a major meeting on climate change is set for the end of the month in paris. tuesday, the french foreign minister said some progress has been made in the talks, where negotiators tried to agree on a blueprint for the deal. jacky rowland reports. >> reporter: the goal is to fix a limit for global warm, no more

than 2 degrees higher than temperatures before the industrial revolution, currently the planet is heading for a rise of about 5 degrees, which would have catastrophic consequences, particularly for the world's vulnerable communities. >> an additional 100 million people risk falling into poverty between now and 2030 if there are not efforts to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. >> the u.s. secretary of state has spoken about the danger of climate change leading the conflict. >> we all need to ensure that we are taking steps to prevent competition, now competition from leading to conflict. >> the bottom line is that the impacts of climate change can exacerbate resource competition. threaten livelihoods and increase the risk of instability

and conflict, especially in places undergoing economic, political and social stress. >> given the urgency of the problem, french officials are saying that there's an absolute obligation to reach an agreement in paris next month. and as host of the summit. the french have a lot of prestige at stake. >> in order to reach a deal individual countries have to commit to curve their emissions. this is a change since economies all over the world are reliant on coal. switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy is the goal. that costs money. poorer countries want the developed world to give them financial help to invest in clean technology to cut the greenhouse gas emissions. urgency means that we are coming to the last possibility to turn the emissions that have

continued and still continue today to increase. we have to get them to the point where they turn the corner and begin to decrease. >> the message is clear - if greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, global warming will pass the point of no return. the clock is ticking for world leaders to reach an agreement. and implement it well, time for the weather with rob. and it seems like this year it's heading to the warmest on record. meanwhile europe will not change seasons. >> it's one of the few constances, not enjoying the early winter. the crowd is streaming across. it looks like it should be autumn or winter. it's a long way north. the dome of air is air that should be squashed down over the mediterranean or the north of africa. all of mainland unity - the

colours are ones you never find over this time of the year, and the distance is surprising. >> it's 11 degrees warmer. athens is eighth warm. or paris is 5 above. and the same is true. all this is a quite high figure, and what are the people doing. >> they are enjoying themselves looking over the area. there's not much higher on the ground. we are talking about switzerland, some records have been broken. paris hit 22. geneva is a record. 14 in estonia. it is not going away quickly. these are the pictures. there for at least three days, probably longer. >> thank you. later on in the programme - the

football team may be on the field, but the racism row rumbled on in the university of missouri. plus the chinese website alibaba breaks records. and the struggling economy in venezuela hits a beloved sport.

managed to find a respectable job. most wait months or linger in cities like roam hoping for a chance to continue other journeys. last november they pledged to offer shelter to refugees in italy and greece. so far only 116 were located elsewhere in europe. >> we need to step up efforts to get the relocation numbers increased. i think we need to take measures overseas for those entitled to international protection, so they don't have to take journeys, dangerous journeys and risk their lives to obtain something that they are entitled to. i think we have to look at legal channels, safe channels for those that have legitimate reasons to move economically. >> while tens of thousands of refugees in italy wait for a chance to reveal their lives in

europe. suleman will deliver his champ. -- example. in mali, it means resilience. the u.n. working group on enforced disappearances is on a 10-day mission in sri lanka. thousands of human rights activists, journalists and suspects disappeared after the end. 26-year complex. we have more. >> reporter: the u.n. group on enforced and involuntary disappearances meeting with families of those that disappeared in the final years of civil war against the tamil tigers, and those that disappeared in the war happening behind me. many people, families, holding photographs of their loved ones, we have names, photographs, the date of the incident. we have dates from 2009, 2008, going back to 2009.

sham goods are easy to spots. a louie vuton bag is $100, real ones are $5,000. >> even changing this back, selling for $15. alibaba is owned by jack marr, sued by a conglomerate that owns gauci and yourselves st. are laron. china's economy may slow, buts consumption on wednesday was robust. online sales are up 40% a year ago. that jump in business appears to be at the expense of retailers. >> this was a shopping mall specialising in electrical goods. today there appeared to be more staff than shoppers. the reason for that, say some

retailers, is the growing threat from online shopping. from an economy losing speed. any growth is good. the question is whether that rise in consumer spending is happening fast enough. "big brother" or not, facebook is facing a charge. browsing activity of nonmembers has been recorded if people visit a site or click on a like or share but on. a belgium court threatened to fine them 250 euro a day. they say they'll appeal the decision. a privacy rights advocate joins us via skype from warsaw. pt keep thing is facebook -- the key thing is facebook were tracking online users who are

not members of facebook. >> correct. we believe actually it's a practice of many companies who not only track their own customers, but use plug-ins and buttons to analyse behaviour of their - people that are not their clients to increase the database. >> what they are doing not that different to what other companies are doing. >> exactly, but facebook decided to subject itself to european jurisdiction by opening it here in ireland, and therefore is bound by european law. specifically prime directives in tracking, unless it's necessary for the service, it has to be based on customer's on-sent.

s unless nonmembers agree. they have no legal right to do so. the court decided as it had decided. >> is this something we should worry about as users or nonusers. it's good use for both. icers and nonmembers. it opens the debate again about compliance and enforcements of european protection laws, which works for our benefit. i don't think it benefits users. hopefully more companies will ask our permission and communicate with us with regard to the trucking practice. it will increase our control over data. >> will it change the way facebook and other companies

work? >> as i said before, practices across the border are similar. many companies do same - google. amazon - any big online company, trying to collect as much as possible. those that come from american markets are not in lain here, or with the new european steernds -- standards here. the way they approach tracking, profiling, all the big data, it has to be readjusted to our legal centers, that focuses on giving the user full control. >> thank you for your take on this complicated issue. thanks a lots. >> thank you prosecutors filed criminal charges in what has been

realized that this is the time. >> reporter: using the hashtag racism lives here, daniel walker was one of the first to organise not just against racism, but the official indifference. >> a racial slur and the end word by a group of students driving a pick-up truck. >> members of the faculty wonder whether the administration acted had the university team not threatened to stop playing in solidarity with a hunger trying student. >> do you think without the players, that would have allowed them to die? >> that's a question that turns my stomach. yes. i don't know. >> reporter: pledges of shaken have been made, but what will it look like? >> making people look at a programme for 20 minutes and check the box for everyone on campus is not going to do it.

>> reporter: for walker a start will be cracking down on hate crimes. >> when i was a sophomore doing my undergrad. there was an incident where a group of white students were intoxicated and decided to put the cars involved all over the white culture center. our university had a slow response as well and they were charged with littering. and they couldn't be more overt. >> university officials are as concerned with racism the former chancellor of the west germany helmut schmidt diet in hamburg. he led west germany before '84 and '92. under his leadership the economy
