>> announcer: this is al jazeera. ♪ hello and welcome to the news hour. here is what is coming up in the next 60 minutes. russia says the downing of its flighter jet looks like a planned provocation but won't go to war over the incident. turkey's president depends the shooting, but says he doesn't want things to escalate. and security concerns as pope francis makes his way to

africa for his first visit to the continent. we're live in nairobi. hello, we begin this news hour with the ongoing developments on the downed russian jet by the turkish military. russia says it looks like a planned provocation. the turkish government maintains that the plane violated its air space despite repeated warnings, insisting it has are right to protect its own security. we have heard from the russian pilot who survived the crash, and he said the turkish jets did not issue any warnings. meanwhile there have been protests at the turkish embassy in moscow. several dozen demonstrators gathered and shouted murders, and threw eggs and tomatoes at

the embassy's wall. let's cross over to rory challands joining us from moscow and there is some comments, rory that have been made by the surviving pilot according to russian media reports. what has he been saying? >> yes, you are right, this was the pilot who's fate was unknown for so many hours, but the same pilot who vladimir putin put on tv today announcing he was safe and well. there was a 12-hour rescue mission to pull him out, a rescue mission undertaken by russian and syria special units. this pilot has basically supported the russian narrative of this event. he says that the -- he, the navigator and the pilot of the plane knew this area like the

back of their hands, and therefore they -- they couldn't have gone into turkish air space. he says this justing didn't happen. he says the missile hit them in the tail of the plane and they had no chance to do anything about it. essentially what we're hearing is pretty much the same information we have heard from the russian government as well, that is that this plane did not go into turkish air space. there were no received warnings from the turkish military about what was about to happen, and so they had no chance to do anything about it. >> we'll talk to our correspondent in a moment about what the turkish reaction could be. but we understand that russian deputies have submitted a bill to parliament seeking accountability for anyone who denies the armenian genocide.

what is that about? >> this is clearly the russian government and it's affiliates in the parliament basically trying to find ways of retaliating and find ways of annoying the turkish -- and making sure that the turkish know the russian displeasure about this event. but of course what is called the armenia genocide by various people, not called the armenia genocide by the turkish government, is a deeply controversial event that took place a century ago. 1915, through 1917. a huge number of ethnic armenians died. so they are telegraphing to the turkish how annoyed that are by this event. >> thank you, rory.

let's cross over to turkey now. and bring in our correspondent joining us from ankara, what do we expect the turkish reaction to be, when the pilot says the jet did not fly over turkish air space? >> reporter: so far no reaction dareen, to that officially, but that's because the turks were very swift in trying to prove and demonstrate that the aircraft had indeed entered turkish air space, so just a couple of hours after the downing of the jets, they released radar footage which showed the tracking of the jet and they put on aviation experts which tried to prove that the aircraft had indeed entered turkish air space. they say that it landed inside syrian territory proves the fact

that it was hit outside because of the trajectory coupled with the speed means it would take it around that much distance to hit the ground. coupled with the images and radar footages, they have also put forward aviation experts to try to counter those claims that it never entered. that's almost neither here nor there that the incident already happened. the turks have tried as much as they can, at least publicly to try to down play things or de-escalate. there have been a lot of overtures to try to say that there is still a lot of common ground between the two countries, and they shouldn't lose sight of that. there is a one-hour conversation, so all levels have wasted no effort to try to

de-escalate the situation. >> are there concerns that there could be a fallout in their relationship with turkey because of this incident? >> reporter: for sure. i mean those concerns are so grave that the fact that you have heard so many different statements from erdogan, and from the prime minister shows they are worried of some sort of fallout, because that is something that is neither -- is unwelcomed by -- by -- by both sides, one would imagine considering the different tul mull chewous challenges on both governments. russia is involved in syria, and ukraine. turkey has 1 million refugees here. to both sides can do without having more tension put on their plate, but the question is, this situation has happened how are you going to go about resolving

it. yet we have heard positive news at least as far as d dip -- diplomacy is concerned. there will be some sort of meeting between both of the ministers in the coming days. how that plans out will be interesting. but it's so important to note aside from messages of deescalation from turkey, turkey still very much stands by what it did. it say it was defending its sovereignty, this aircraft went into its territory. it hasn't apologized, but it is saying it didn't go out of its way to target the aircraft, because it was russian, it was just doing its job in terms of defending its borders. >> all right. thank you. after four days of lockdown,

schools and the underground metro system has reopened in brussels. hundreds of troops remain on the ground. belgium police have launched a series of raids across the country, in search of suspects linked to the paris attacks. >> reporter: after four days on high alert, brussels is lifting some of the most disruptive restrictions. most metro lines are open again. but people are still anxious. >> of course we have to be careful, because any moment something can happen, but, you know, you can [ inaudible ] also. i mean danger is everywhere. >> reporter: below and above ground there is still a heavy military and police presence. vehicles pulled over for random checks. a thousand extra personnel have been called in to patrol brussels and other belgium

cities. every few minutes a reminder that this is a country hunting for the remaining suspects in the paris attacks along with people who may be planning more. as well as the metro system, schools and universities have reopened also, but the government has maintained the highest security level, level number 4, which means that an attack is viewed as imminent. the government says it is acting on credible intelligence. belgium has issued an international arrest warrant for this man. but despite several raids and multiple arrests there is still little progress in the manhunt for the 26 year old, thought to be one of the paris gunmen. police leave when he escaped after the attacks he may have still been wearing an explosive vest. students are arriving back on the university campus. armed police stand guard.

and the main library remains closed. here students try to make sense of the chain of global events that suddenly, without warning have had such a big impact on their ordinary lives. >> maybe in two weeks there will be no more cops and soldiers in the street, but the feel of the threat, say, will still be present. if not just in -- in the media, it's real. >> reporter: the government says the alert level we remain at the maximum for at least another week. the price of keeping europe safe. but many question how long this can last. we'll now take you back to one of our top stories, of course the russian jet that was downed and developments ongoing, because the british prime minister david cameron has said while the facts about the downed russian jet are still unclear, turkey has the right to defend

its air space. >> i think there are opportunities for sensible discussions with russian about the events in syria, so there can be a government that represents all of the people of syria. and i had that conversation with president putin last week, he mentions the issue about the downed russian jet. the facts are not yet clear, but i think we should respect turkey's right to protect itself air space just as we defend our own. but i think it's very important we get to the bottom of what happened. >> the u.s. has always backed turkey, and the united nations has called for calm. james what efforts are there -- diplomatic efforts are there to de-escalate that situation? >> reporter: i think all of the efforts are really to de-escalate the situation. the u.n. security council has not met to discuss what has happened.

russia is a permanent member of the security council. russia could have called a meeting. it has not. we understand that turkey was thinking of calling a meeting and didn't then go ahead with calling for a meeting to take place, and i think that's because although there is a great deal of anger still in both ankara and moscow, both sides don't want this to get worse. it's worth recalling when you have a spat between who countries there are various things that can happen diplomatically. the first thing is you call in the ambassador to have meeting and give him a bit of a scolding. that has happened. the next thing that happens, and this hasn't happened is you recall your ambassador for discussions, you can threaten military action, none of that has happened at this stage. you heard from the british prime

minister. the british ambassador to the united nations has been speaking about the situation diplomatically clear at the united nations. and he is the current president of the security council, so he has been calling for a deescalation, and there are some signs that those calls are being heeded. countries like the international community, which is a nato member realize that there is now going to be a spat and damage to the relations between turkey and russia. they don't want this to turn into a bigger dispute between nato and russia. because as you heard, what they are trying to do is restart the political process and all trying to find a way to come together to fight isil. the problem with that is that you do have these different coalitions operating in syrian air space, and you have see the problem with that, with the downed russian jet. remember the u.k. prime

minister, david cameron in the house of commons is trying to get mp's there to support the u.k. joining military action in syria. currently they are only involved in iraq. >> james away from military action for a moment and this exchange of words that we we're seeing between russia and turkey, how does all of this affect peace talks for syria, for the country? >> reporter: i think what diplomats are hoping is it won't effect peace talks. the next meeting is expected in this december, probably not in vienna, probably in paris this time, to try to restart the political process. and there has been, i think, a more favorable tone between russia and the u.s., and the u.s.'s allies on this. they don't agree on everything, and they certainly don't agree on the issue of the future of president assad, but they don't

want this incident to destroy the momentum. >> james thank you. isil has claimed responsibility for an explosion on a bus in the tunisian capitol. it is believe the blast was caused by a suicide bomber? the bus was carrying members of the presidential guard, 12 were killed, 4 members of the public were among the injured. >> reporter: the remains of a presidential bus hit right in the heart of tunis. it was picking up officers at a bus stop when the explosion happened. it was busy with commuters at the time. the blast was so loud it was heard across the center of tunis. tunisia's president called it an act of terror and imposed a state of emergency. >> translator: after consulting with the prime minister, and the head of parliament, i would like to declare a state of emergency,

extending for 30 days. secondly, there is a curfew imposed across all of tunisia. starting at 9:00 this evening until tomorrow morning at 5:00. >> reporter: security forces were criticized for not responding quickly. isil claimed responsibility for those attacks. according to the government, there are around 3,000 tunisians fighting in iraq, syria, and lib. there are also armed groups in the country linked to al-qaeda. the face of emergency gives security forces additional powers to make arrests and stop people from protesting as well as restrictions on media coverage. there was already additional security in major cities and strategic areas on the board, but they were unable to prevent this latest attack. the french president is expected to meet with the german

chancellor in paris to discuss the fight against isil. it's part of a plan for a grabbed coalition against the armed group following the paris attacks that killed 130 people earlier this month. crossing over to jacky rowland, what will they be discussing? >> reporter: well this is part of a week of intensive diplomacy by the french president. only on tuesday, he was in the united states, meeting president obama, and his conversation with angela merkel will be very much along the same lines, how to forge an international coalition against isil, better international intelligence-sharing on that subject. now in the terms of actually fighting a war against isil, germany -- it's very limited by its own constitution in what it can do in terms of offensive military operations overseas.

this is the legacy of german militarism around the time of the second world war. and while germany can get involved in carrying out attacks, german will be sending up to 650 peace keepers to take part in u.n. operations in mali. in that will help the french, because the french have been taking very much a leading roll there. they still have 1,000 troops in mali. so if the germans can help them in africa, that frees up french troops. france is really stretched just in terms of securing its own territory. >> and jackky, hollande then moves on to moss cows -- moscow. what is he hoping to get out of

that visit? >> reporter: well, russian reacted very swiftly in terms of expressing solidarity with france. and putin has already instructed the russian navy in the eastern mediterranean to treat the french military as allies. this does, of course, present russia with an opportunity, bearing in mind that its military intervention in syria has been very controversial. it gives them a chance to see it as part of a broader international situation. and in general it presents russia in more of an international coalition role, rather than this idea of it going it alone, and doing its own thing in syria, so while providing help to france militarily and logistically. it does present vladimir putin

with a good opportunity in terms of how russia's role in syria is perceived internationally. >> jackie thank you for that update from paris. a belgium court has sentenced the controversial french comedian to two months in jail after a racist show in belgium. the case relates to a show in 2012. he had been hauled before the courts in france over a string of comments which are said to be racist. germany will send 650 peace-keeping officers to mali. france already has troops on the ground to help the former colony fight rebels.

protests in chicago after a police video is released showing a white officer killing a black teenager. plus no end to the standing off in central america, as cuban migrants find themselves stranded on the way to the u.s. and we'll have the details in sport. the head of nato and u.s. forces in afghanistan is due to announce the findings of a u.s. military investigation into a deadly air raid on a doctors without boarders hospital in october. 30 people were killed in the attack and the taliban held northern afghan city. the charity said the attack lasted an hour despite their staff sending messages to official in kabul and washington. rosiland jordan joining us from washington, d.c.

because i believe the findings have already been announced, rosiland, what was said? >> reporter: that's right, the commander of u.s. forces in afghanistan in the past hour announced that it was a combination of human error and systems and processes mistakes that lead to the deadly bombing of the msf hospital in kunduz back in early october. this was a military-lead investigation, not the independent international investigation which doctors without borders want, in order to clarify what it believes happened, which it's calling a war crime. we have heard multiple accounts of we are very sorry from both general campbell and another official there in kabul, talking about the incident. they say people involved in the execution of this bombing have

been suspended and they are not ruling out the possibility of yet another investigation. what is important to note is that what general campbell and his aids were describing during this press conference in kabul, has not actually been released publicly. the report still needs to be redacted in order to remove classified information. so it's impossible to verify exactly what is in this report. people are having to take the general and his aids at their word, that there was a combination of grievous mistakes, systems and processes errors, and they are pledging they are going to help rebuild the hospital. >> i wonder how this explanation is going to go down with the msf hospital that was bombed. but worth reminding our viewers, exactly what happened on that day? >> reporter: well, according to the u.s. military they had

decided to conduct some air strikes to go after some taliban that were holed up in facility which the military says was about 300 meters away from the msf hospital. even though msf has repeatedly and consistently reminded the pentagon that it was operating this hospital in this location. the military says that people misinterpreted that information and ended up launching the air strikes on the hospital. even as the air strikes were underway. msf has said that it tried to get the military to pull back, but it didn't happen and so as you noted, 30 people were killed, and the facility was basically rendered useless, so we have to find out now from msf what their take on this military report is and whether they are willing to accept what has come out in this report. even before the press

conference, a couple of hours ago in kabul, msf was already saying, dareen, that they still believe a separate independent probe needs to be carried out. >> rosiland thank you for that update from washington. the shooting of another black teenager by a white police officerman in the united states last year has provoked more protests and allegations of brutality. the officer has been charged with murder after opening fire 16 times in chicago. >> reporter: these are the final momenteds of 17-year-old's life. he was walking down the street followed by police. police say he was armed with a small knife. an officer opens fire and he falls to the ground. after that moment, he was shot again and again for a total of 16 times. the release of these pictures was delayed for months amid fears of a backlash. >> i understand that the people

will be upset and will want to protest when they see this video. but i would like to echo the comments of the mcdonald family. they have asked for calm and for those who choose to speak out to do it peacefully. chicago policeman van dyk has been charged with murder. his lawyers said he felt threatened by the knife-wielding teenager. >> as we all know, he was charged with first degree murder which the state's attorney, and as a result he has been put into what is known as a no-pay status. >> reporter: hundreds of people came to the streets of chicago to protest against the killing. they are calling for an end to the use of lethal force by the police predominantly against black young men. >> people have a right to be angry. people have a right to free speech. but they do not have a right to

commit criminal acts. >> reporter: in april the force officed to pay $5 million to the mcdonald family, before they even filed a case. it's not just chicago. police using lethal force against black youth has come under scrutiny in are number of u.s. cities. this protest has continued for nearly ten days. here another back man was shot and killed by police. clark's family wants the video of the incident to be released, but authorities say the release would effect the on going investigation. >> black lives matter! >> reporter: people now have another reason to renew calls for the review of lethal force by the police. plenty more still ahead on al jazeera, including canada's new government faces public concerns over resettling

thousands of syrian refugees after the paris attacks. i'm john hendren in chicago, where in panties all over the city, crowds like this, line up daily for food. and the golden state warriors make nba history. sunna has the details a little later this hour. ♪

♪ hello again, the top stories on the al jazeera news hour. russia's foreign minister says he will reconsider agreements and relations with ankara, after the downing of one of its military jets by turkey. he says the incident looks like a planned act, adding that it's no secret that terrorists use turkish territory. but the turkish prime minister says he is keeping communication open with the kremlin. and a suicide bomber suspected of causing a bomb blast on a bus in tunisia was carrying members

of the 12 presidential guards. and 12 people were killed. a state of emergency has been declared. isil has now claimed responsibility for that blast. now the turkish prime minister has warned russia not to attack turkman in syria under the pretext of fighting isil. the turkman were among the first to take up arms against syrian government forces. >> reporter: this woman was forced to leave her home in the turkmen mountains to escape attacks by both syrian government forces and the russian air force. more than 300 turkmen families have made the journey over the mountains in the last few weeks. they have arrived in an area near to the border with turkey. but the border is closed. the turkmen are living in

terrible conditions. >> translator: i am 40 years old. i was forced to leave my house due to unprecedented shelling, but when we arrived we discovered the planes were bombing this area too. >> reporter: people eat what they can find. there is no running water or electricity. no schools or hospitals. the turkmen are fending for themselves. >> translator: we hope we don't have to stay here for long, but at the moment we need nothing more than for our children to feel safe and secure. >> reporter: the russian air force has bombed most of the villages in the turkmen mountain. even if they are able to return to their homes, they may find very little is left. >> let's cross over to ankara, and speak with a retired ambassador. was the downing of the russian jet by the turkish military a

planned provocation as russia says? >> well, it's not -- whichever way you look at it, it is not a provocation, neither from the turkish side, nor the russian side. on the russian side, i think it is a [ inaudible ] the turkish warning when the russian planes were flying towards turkish air space, they were warned ten times in a period of five minutes, but they did not take this into account. actually one of the planes -- there were two russian planes, one of the planes took the warning and returned to the syrian air space whereas the other did not. >> but there is a pilot that did survive, and he's just made comments to russian media, and he said the plane received no warnings from the turkish air force, and they did not fly over

turkish air space according to him. >> actually of course we have to take this into consideration, but the turkish military authorities announced to the press what was said by the turkish -- large turkish aircraft, turkish pilots, and they said that, sir, you are approaching the turkish border, please return and go back. if the one who is alive says that he did not hear it, how come the other person who received the warning and went back to the syrian air space? there is an inconsistency in what was said. >> do you believe that this could lead to a diplomatic crisis between russia and turkey?

>> dramatic, harsh exchange of words, and perhaps a process of negotiations, but it will not amount to a military escalation, i think. >> it would be more than an exchange of words, then, because when moscow says it is wrapping up its defenses in syria, it has possibly planned to put a stop to progress, and it has told its tourists to stay away from turkey. and they have submitted a bill to parliament seeking responsibility for anyone who denies armenian genocide. so where does this go? >> actually these are measures that the russians can implement, and we believe that they may do so, because they were furious, and a country like russia, of

course, does not want to be -- their -- to see their plains to be shot down by a friendly country, such as turkey, but it will try to retaliate not in a military manner, but in ways that you mentioned by damaging turkey's economic interests. >> okay. we thank you for joining us on the al jazeera news hour. >> thank you. well, the u.s. secretary of state john kerry has warned that the conflict between israel and the palestinians could spin out of control unless both sides make rapid compromises. a wave of shabings and shootings, has killed 95 palestinians, 21 israelis. a palestinian man has been shot after stabbing a israeli man. both men are reported to be critically ill in hospital.

pope francis has arrived in kenya's capitol to a huge welcome. he is expected to preach a message of reconciliation and unity on his first trip to africa. he is also due to travel to uganda and the central african republic if security chiefs think it is unsafe because of the unrest there. security is tense with a near shutdown as catherine soi reports from nairobi. these catholics have been waiting a long time to see their pope, but he won't just be meeting them. he is also due to meet political and religious leaders of all faiths. >> we are often talking of interreligious dialogue, so when we see the holy father being able to encounter the heads of all of these other regions and nations, i think for me it's

something that is very powerful. >> reporter: the pope's visit comes as security forces across the continent grapple with groups across the country. fighters attacked the university in northern kenya earlier this year, killing 148 people, many of them students. the assailants often appear to target non-muslims, but kenya muslims have also complained of profiling at the grand -- hands of the government. >> they are very close to telling people we cannot live together anymore. and as a country, as a people, we have no other place to go to. >> reporter: this is where the pope will celebrate his biggest mass.

hundreds of thousands more will pack the streets around here, watching on big screens. the pope will mostly be talking about peace, acceptance, and reconciliation. a message he has taken to many places across the world. from kenya, pope francis is due to travel to uganda, and end his trip in central african republic. there's concern about his safety. >> it particularly came from the french authorities about [ inaudible ] and they told them we cannot guarantee your safety. that means a lot. that means a lot. and tell the pope, look much as you preach the peace, the love of god, there are things that will surely be above our control. >> reporter: throughout history the hope is expected to talk about climate change. kenyans here also came to hear his thoughts on governance.

many african countries are riddled with corruption and poor leadership. >> and we'll take you now live to nairobi. that's the kenyan president addressing the nation. and we understand that the hope is with him. catherine soi joining us from there, to tell us what people are expecting to hear from the pope. there he is. we can see him on the screen now. >> reporter: absolutely. he is about to start addressing the nation, and the president is speaking now. and people are expecting to hear the pope's message on reconciliation, on peace as well. he comes to kenya at a time when the continent -- several countries in the continent are battling with armed groups. he comes just after an attack on a hotel in mali last week, where

al-qaeda affiliates claim that attack. there is boko haram in nigeria, we have isil elements in parts of north africa as well, and closer to home, the regional forces here are fighting al-shabab, a group based in somalia. so the pope will be meeting religious leaders from all faiths who talk about cohesion and religious tolerance as well. he is also going to be talking about, you know, climate change. he is very passionate about the environment. he is going to be visiting the united states, the environment program, the headquarters of the u.n. environment program. he is going to be meeting them, and it will be very interesting to hear what he has to say because he is also coming here just days before the climate change conference in paris.

it will be interesting to hear what he has -- what message he has to give to delegates who are attending that climate change conference. but people here in kenya, particularly came to hear his message on governance, corruption in kenya. if you talk to many people, they will tell you that corruption is at critical levels. the president himself addressed the nation on monday, and declared corruption, a threat to national security. we don't expect the pope to be very specific on national issues in politics, but people want to hear what he has to say about good governance and get his guidance as well, dareen. >> give us a sense of the security situation, katherine, there are real security challenges when it comes to -- for example, the central african republic. >> reporter: absolutely, and that's a big challenge. everybody is concerned about -- about central african

republic. his trip there, the pope is still very determined to go to the central african republic. but his security is a major concern when he is in that country. it's a country is a country where there's still ongoing conflict that started in 2013, when the then president was ousted, it is a conflict between muslim and christian groups. thousands of people have been killed. hundreds of thousands -- close to a million people have been displaced. the pope, if he makes that trip, is going to visit a mosque, talk to displaced people there, and hold mass in the capitol bangui now. the french authorities have said they cannot guarantee his security outside of the airport. vatican officials are continuously assessing the situation in bangui, so that is

something that is very interesting going forward whether he is going to make that trip. >> thank you for that update from nairobi. canada announcing its plan to resettle 25,000 refugees. but there's some public concern about security and health screening of those to be taken in. daniel lak reports from toronto. >> reporter: a picture of this 2-year-old dead on a beach in turkey, focused canada's campaign on refugees. it says 25,000 will be taken in. >> yes, we want to bring them fast, but we also want to do it right, and i have heard canadians across this country saying, yes, you have to do it

right, and if it takes a little bit longer to do it right than take the extra time. >> reporter: after the paris attacks, polls showed more public concern about welcoming so many so quickly. there have even been several racist incidents involving the muslim community. once security checks are done, government sponsored-refugees will need temporary housing, and that means military barracks, disused public buildings, even mostly empty hospitals like this one. all will be safe homes for people from area. canada has a long tradition of accepting refugees. and helping them start new lyes. support agencies say they will need extra funding but are ready for the influx. >> i think it's good that we have a sophisticated service sector. we will need to build capacity and make sure we have enough

arabic and kurdish speakers, but we're feeling as if we're ready. >> reporter: at this cafe, at least 12 syrians are working behind the counter and in the kitchen. the owner came from lebanon, and says he knows what it is like to free a homeland and leave everybody behind. >> i like to help them to -- to start new life. >> in the beginning it is very hard, but now we are happy that we are here safely. we start to work. my daughters go to school, so i hope that everybody can come here -- have this chance. >> reporter: syrians begin arriving on charters aircraft early next month. 40% will be sponsored by individuals and community groups, the rest by government. this country is about to receive one of its biggest refugees intakes ever. now to the lack of food to

eat in the united states. most are seniors. at least 8 million are going hungry. that's because they don't yet qualify for government food assistance. just under half of them, around 20 million live in extreme poverty. that means the income for a family of four is less than $10,000 a year. the official poverty measure says at least 17.5 million households don't have enough to eat every day. almost 50 million children live in poverty. the rate is higher for black and hispanics, but the elderly are also in need, as john hendren reports. >> reporter: on a quiet chicago street a garden grows food for an unending line of hungry americans. 50 and 60-something seniors wait

for hours on the panty steps. the lines grow longer at the end of the month when government food stamps and social security checks run out. >> you need them. you need places like these. they are a blessing. >> reporter: about 46 million americans live on food stamps that cost the u.s. government $76 billion a year. last year the u.s. congress cut food stamp funding by $8.7 billion. what does that say about, sort of our safety net? >> it's pretty holy. um, we have people that get like $12 a month for food stamps. seniors sometimes have to choose between eating and medicine. >> reporter: a recently survey by the group feeding america, found of the 46 million hungry americans, 13 million are

over50. 8 million are 50 to 65. >> many of the people that we serve are honest hard-working people who worked their entire lives and really scraped to get buy. they worked for meager wages, and now that they are at the age of retirement and should be enjoying life, it's very difficult. they can't pay all of their bills. >> reporter: this is one of dozens of panties in chicago, where like all over the country, a crowd made up largely of elderly people with no other options lines up daily for food. when the u.s. economy spiraled in 2008, the poorest were hit first. and they have yet to recover. john hendren, al jazeera, chicago. now it's time for sports with sana'a. >> thank you very much, dareen.
