people march to demand action on climate change ahead of the major summit. >> and all the sport, including an 11 year unbeaten run for vitaly klitschko as britain's tyson fury becomes the world heavyweight boxing champion there has been russian air strikes across the syrian province of idlib in what activists say has been a massive bombardment. these are the latest images. at least 40 reported to be killed in an attack in a marketplace. let's go live to hashem ahelbarra. from the turkish city of antakia near the bother with syria. what do we know about the attacks.

>> reporter: on the ground there has been shelling and attacks targetting the area, an opposition stronghold. one of the russian war planes targeted a marketplace in idlib, a strong hold of the opposition. this year when a united front converged and launched a military campaign recapturing the province, under control of different factions in syria. at least 40 were killed. dozens in - dozens injured, and they expect the death toll in the air strike to climb, because some of the injured are severely hurt. who has been targeted, in the

strikes, if the russian air strikes hit this place - they are supposed to be targetting i.s.i.l. >> the syrian observatory for human rights has been saying in statements posted on the websites that dozens of civilians, women and children were killed in air strikes by russian war planes. the russians have been saying that they are mainly targetting i.s.i.l. the turkish government, americans, have been saying that there are incidents of russians targetting moderate groups. some are backed by the americas, and the russians are using the i.s.i.l. as a cover to bolster the chances of i.s.i.s. to regain what it lost in the past. activists we have been in touch with in idlib insists that this

was an air strike conducted by a russian war plane. >> hashem ahelbarra in antakya qatar's foreign minister called for russian's foreign minister to step down. he says that syrians, themselves, must be the ones to decide their country's future and call for bashar al-assad to step down. >> the people have a number of priorities, number one is bashar al-assad to leave. the second is to uproot terrorist. we must take these meters into consideration while pondering on the diplomatic solutions. if the local communities are willing to act for their own interests, the solution will be made. >> european union leader are expected to offer turkey $3 billion to limit the flow of

refugees, most of which are coming from syria. a summit will get under way in brussels in a few hours to discuss the crisis. germany has been in the driving seat to ease the numbers of refugees crossing borders. >> reporter: spring turns to summer, autumn to winter, still they have not stopped. the e.u. has been accused of doing too little to make the journeys less dangerous. they were full of sympathy when the body of a young person was wash said up on the beach. the main point was to stop the refugees. the german government in the driving streak presenting this as an attempt to recane control. >> it is -- regain control. >> it's not a fair humanitarian solution to induce people to

offer their lives. we have to offer perspective to illegal entry, but improving refugees in turkey. germany has, for years, taken in migrant workers. as well as a sped-up entry process to the e.u., turkey is demanding visa-free access to europe for 75 million people. suddenly for turkey, the refugee crisis is an opportunity. >> turkey has been trying to join the european union since before the berlin wall came for all that time it's been blocked. all the talk of represses and abuses is vanishing on the wind. the european union wants to pay turkey to keep the refugees out. given how many described the

refugees as economic migrants, it sounds to some to be a hip accuratal -- hypocritical position for them to take. >> european union is willing to give up its values, why it exists. it is doing this on the back of the most vulnerable people, the refugees. >> so more than $3 billion will be found and given to turkey, and probably more barbed wire. perhaps it about constitute a life for the refugees, and not. clearly the fences have not worked now to burkina faso, where people in one of the poorest countries in the world are voting to choose a new leader. the long-awaited ballot co

coming after which the long-standing president blaise compaore was ousted. 14 are running for president. two frontrunners emerged. both with ties to the old regime. one left the government to form the mpp party in protest to extend a rule. and is up against zephirin diabre, a former finance minister. the former ruling party is barred from fielding a presidential candidate. live to our correspondent, joining us live from the capital ouagadougo. this is the first time, of course many under the age of 48 are able to vote until a free

and fair recollection. >> yes, we'll talk about that with a guest that has never voted. not only will they bring the transitional authorities put in place after the departure of blaise compaore. but it is the first time that the people will be electing a civilian president. 5.5 are registered to vote, and will be voting in 17,000 polling stations. this is how it was. >> a last minute campaign for votes. three-quarters of the population under the age of 30 years. the youth pope will be desize

i've. music -- will be decisive. blaise compaore is a front runner, the former prime minister. he left government a year ago, after refusing plans to extend the blaise compaore rule. a businessman, former finance minister is a candidate. the front runner's ties to the former regime is a disappointment. >> translation: it's a misconception that we don't represent grade. we served under blaise compaore. we have nothing to be ashamed of. >> reporter: burkina faso is a poor country. the ailing economy was affected by the crisis that followed the resignation of blaise compaore. >> for the people, more than anything, that the burkina faso

people want is for the elections to solve the country. >> representatives of the former ruling party - none of them - are allowed to stand for presidency. officials have been campaigning with elders for support. a majority gives them the right to choose the post of prime minister and speaker. >> translation: we are not happy, it's unfair, we would have one if permitted to run. >> they have mixed signs. >> we experienced democracy. na we have this uncertainty, it's a sign of moving to more democracy. >> if successful. it will be the first power in the history of the burkina faso,

whose name means the land of honest people. let's talk to a voter waiting to cast his vote for the choice of his president. a member of parliament. you said you are 30, and have never voted. why? >> in the past, the vote didn't change anything here. we grow up, we have the same wt. things don't change. why are the elections important. >> it's important. it's a chance for the country. other countries realising what is right in the world and other

country. many did not thing we could have an election after the uprising. people have many suspicion from the next president. the reason why the election is important. >> reporter: many expectations from the ex president. the front runner are people that have ties with the former regime, does it disappoint you in any way? people of burkina faso need a democratically elected. they know that there'll be a way of different prosecution the more we are able to to the do an unrising, the more the next president will pay attention to priority. they will have justice. >> justice and jobs for the youth.

the two main priorities here. unnic like who we spoke to. more than 60% of the population of this country is less than 30 years old. they have not known any other president. >> thank you, reporting live from ouagadougo still to come - south korea's government accuses teachers of misbehaving. reports over the controversy of a new history book flight of the monarchs - governments in the u.s., and mexico fight to save a butterfly and why andy murray may be a win away from making tennis history for his country. the details later in sport

heavy fighting in tiaz forced more than 30 hospitals and medical clinic to close. doctors warn of an acute shortage of supplies. gerald tan reports on the battle for the city and impact on civilians. and a warning - you may find some of the images in the report disturbing. >> reporter: the battle for tiaz. witnesses tell al jazeera they have not experienced heavy fighting before. the houthis and the et leet republican guard surrounded the did i since march. pro-government fighters supported by the coalition are trying to break the hold. over the weekend the coalition intensified aerial raid. destroying a number of targets and killed rebels trying to infiltrate rebel areas. lives lost, not just those engaged in fighting.

this child tries to recount what happened to him hours earlier. him and friends were gathered around a water truck when hit by a shell. some of his friends died. hospitals and medical facilities are overwhelmed. more than 30 forced to shut down. six remain in operation. >> translation: tiaz hospitals are facing acute shortages, as we speak, a massacre has been carried out by militias. >> the humanitarian situation in tiaz is getting worse by the day. many homes are without power. food and water is scarce. tiaz is regarded as the cultural capital. as fighting escalates, there's a fear their children are growing up exposed only as a culture of

weapons the israeli army shot dead a palestinian man who stabbed to death an israeli policeman. 103 palestinians and 21 israelis have been killed since a wave of violence began last month in iraq. a mass grave containing the bodies of the yazidi community has been found. 113 bodies uncovered in a village 12km south of sinjar. a grave was booby trapped. kurdish fighters discovered more mass graves in the area, recapturing the town from i.s.i.l. fighters this month the suspect behind a shooting at a family planning clinic in the u.s. state of colorado is due to appear in court on monday. 57-year-old robert deer is being held without bail after the attack in the city of colorado springs. a police officer and two others

were killed during a 5-hour standoff. the motive behind the incident is not known the u.s. government will lose its legal authority to collect phone records of its civilians. it follows the stopping of collecting data after allegations by edward snowden. a scaled back collection will still continue. >> reporter: he was called a traitor. leading u.s. political figures called for his murder. he was forced into exile. edward snowden's actions for disclosing actions of its own people brought about the end of bulk collections of phone records. the dragnet nailed to disrupt a terror plot. and the court declared it unconstitutional. the n.s.a. is not ending mass

data collection when so many calls are made over the internet. >> international calls will be collected. internet communications and because so much of americans internet communications happen to go overseas those continue to get polled dragnet civilians of mete data for that and the rest of the world will continue. those in the u.s. have some protection. as far as washington is concerned. everyone else is fair game. as shown, often they cooperate with the u.s. edward snowden revealed more than telephone mete data collection. for example, the ability to search everything a user does on the internet. or a collection of 2 million text messages. >> what is going to shut down, according to former white house counterterrorism star is a fraction of what the n.s.a. does. otherwise people are probably

expanding mass surveillance around the world. and since the recent attacks in paris, some u.s. politicians are talking of expanding surveillance. >> edward snowden has been used as a scapegoat. even though there's no evidence that the attackers used the internet to exploit safeguards or planning attacks. given the secrecy of the u.s.a., it may take another whistleblower for us to see what has change said now to talk to the co-director of the brennan center's programme. she is welcoming the roll back. >> i think it's a good first step, as we advocates like to say. the telephone mete data programme was a first edward snowden revelation and shocked the country. it related to the domestic collection with information about america.

at the heart of the privacy collection. the modification to this programme are very, very significant, and it is the first roll-back of surveillance authorities that we'll see. everything else is an expansion. it's important not to overstate the importance of this, because the section 215 programme is only one way in which the government collects mete data. there's a series of overlapping authorities that are used to collect information. most of which we know nothing about. >> the last-known ebola patient left hospital putting the country on track to be freed of the virus. >> it's been hailed a symbol of crisis. guinea will be declared ebola free if there's no new cases.

pope francis arrived in the central african republic for a final stop of his tour of africa. violence in the country forced 1 million from their homes. during the stay. they visited the camp. many have sought refuge, meeting community leaders. the head of the catholic church approached a message of peace at a youth rally. for some, the visit was not just about faith. as malcolm webb reports from kampala. >> reporter: tens of thousands gathered to meet pope francis around the shrine in the cap fall kampala, 130 years ago some of uganda's first christians were killed for their faith. they are known as martyrs. it's the holiest side in uganda

for 14 million catholics. >> translation: dear brothers and sisters. this is the legacy you receive. lives that are marked and witness to the transforming power and gospel of jesus christ. >> reporter: he held a mass and spoke of turning hate into love. he's the first non-european pope in 13 years, from argentina. he often speaks about inequality and says he's seen as a champion of the poor. it res onates here where most are religious and unemployed. people came from all over uganda. >> translation: i feel good. i want to be here. i want to also meet.

>> reporter: it's a much of needed business opportunity, people are selling food, drinks and religious paraphernalia. statues of jesus and many its, especially with pope francis, caps, badges, posters and books. these are telling well. when he arrived people couldn't get close enough. people had been waiting hours to hear his message. for many, the excitement of seeing a religious leader they love. >> everyone is happy everything but the kitchen sink weather wise. here meteorologist. where do you start. >> rain, snow, ice - wherever you like.

let me tell you why it's happening. let's loaning at the satellite picture showing the area of cloud. there's three things making the storm bad. firstly, we have cold air digging down from canada. secondly we have warm air. these things are normal at this time of year. also the remains of a tropical storm to the south-west. that is injecting moisture into the system. and why we are seeing so much rain and active weather out of it. snaking across many parts of the u.s., and eastern parts of canada. that has given heavily rain. dallas reported record amounts of rainfall. the pictures to the east. there's a lot of flooding there. there's a lot of ice as well. the ice went beautiful. look at that. coating everything. but it is very, very dangerous. on the grounds it makes it slippery on the roads. it's heavy. if it managed to congregate on

the trees or the powerlines, it brings them down. that is why ice storms are devastating. the system is now edging eastwards, as it does so it will bring us violent weather towards the south. but there could be freezing rain out of this thank you indeed. we are approaching the midway point. still to come - the war between lima's rich and poor. the war of shame. al jazeera meets people on both sides of the divide, plus... >> i'm jennifer glasse. the governor is hoping a tax on mobile phone calls is the first step authorities firstal independence and the golden state warriors unbeatener streak stretches further. details in 20 minutes with jo. jo.

195 countries are here to discuss a plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions. environment editor nick clark is there for us. >> reporter: thank you. welcome to the sprawling conference center here at leborge, where 195 countries will argue and debate all the issues as they seek out that climate deal, the elusive deal, we are in a concourse area, not far from the two main plenary halls where two main decisions will be made in the coming days, hopefully. things not too busy. spin on 24 hours tomorrow. it will be mayhem. the place will be heaving. there'll be thousands of delegates. no end of press - like us - in fact, 6,000 media representatives here, which is

astonishing. the high-level event has been brought from the end of the conference forward to the beginning to build some momentum for this conference. and because so many are here, president obama and narendra modi, angela merkel, they are all here. security is tight here at the conference as, indeed, it is across the city. take a look at this from jacky rowland. >> reporter: the army and police have paris covered. they were ordered on to the streets amp the attacks of november -- after the attacks of november 13th. now they have another matter, making court the cop climate change summit passes without emergency. >> with the heightened success, it is lined to securing it to the maximum level. everything has been put into place to secure the conference and surroundings to the maximum

level. >> reporter: the scale of the operation is unprecedented. 8,000 police guarding france's air, sea and land forces. 2008 police will be on duty at the summit venue itself. in total, 120,000 police and troops will be deployed across the whole of france. security becomes fighter the tighter you goat to the conference center. 20,000 delegates are expected to cross the security perimeter, and thousands more journalists. the french were determined despite the attacks the summit should go ahead as planned. the fact that 15 heads of state are in paris is a vote of confidence for french security. a security operation will inevitably mean traffic chaos. the french warned to use public

transport and leave cars at home. >> my message is simple. do not drive on the 29th or 30th. it's essential. >> the scale of the paris attacks and international reaction they provoked almost eclipsed the climate summit. the french government hopes the mood of international solidarity will strengthen the resolves of all parties to reach a climate deal. of course, the state of emergency meant that the marches in france have not been taking place, they have been taking place a little earlier around the world. let's speak to one of the guys that has been coordinating global action. a member from a global campaigning outlet. give us an idea of what is happening around the world ahead of this event. >> what happens is what looks like the largest mobilization

history. we had an early return from australia and new zealand. we saw the largest markets. 1% of population getting out. it's a phenomenal statement of the degree of concern and demand for one goal out of the summit, a transition of the economies to 100% clean economy. that is what people are asking for. >> in france authorities made the decision they had to make and banned paris marches. that must have been a blow. >> it was heart-breaking for hundreds of thousands of people. we were expecting a giant turn out. we saw a demonstration of a desire to be heard. sending their shoe, and they have filled the place de la republique with this desire to be heard. >> how important has civil action begun in the effort to get a climate change deal.

because these processes have been slow indeed. >> this is a story of hope. 18 months ago people are miserable. we didn't see any action, then we saw the largest hope history. people saw hope. we got out, and the momentum is incredible. we have never seen a year like this. we are coming into paris with momentum to get that momentum. >> that happening. how confident are you that in two weeks time. less, that we'll have a deal that you will be happy with? >> the countries are smarter in getting commitments in advance of the conference. we know where a lot of countries are standing. it's in a good place on agreeing with the long term goal. there are always spoilers at the conference. they turn up for the coal or oil industry. it's that kind of pressure. this is where my message to anyone watching, if we learnt anything, there's no spectators

in the conference. all of us at home. we get into the streets, burn up the phone lines, the government moves. what happens in paris is on us over the next two weeks. >> great talking to you, ricken. ricken patel. as the marches go on today, form the focus will be on deborge, as se seek out the deal. >> nick clark in paris. teachers in south korea are warned they'll face court action unless they stop protests over a new history textbook. the teachers say it contains distorted factors. harry fawcett reports. >> reporter: teachers taking to the streets on issues dominating south korean politics. the government's plan to bring in a single authored text book. choosing to protest. these men and women are laying themselves open to prosecution.

their employment is for political neutrality. this is one person summonsed for questioning. >> translation: it's not follow to oppose the textbook without criticizing the government. they are proceeding with a plan for its benefit. to hold on to power. >> reporter: the south korean's opposition party has taken to displaying history books. too soft on ideology, too harsh on south korea's leadersers overseeing the economic rise. what are they saying? >> the education back talks of squirmishes in both sides, but states in the north korean army started a surprise invasion. the u.n. called it an act of aggression. >> the birth of ideology, bringing instability, but weakening north korea's response to the outside world.

what is common is the way yes describe the seizure of power by the general as a coup. leading to political repress and improvement to livelihoods. he happens to be the father of the current president. the president characterised the reform of teaching as a fight for the nation. >> it would be difficult for students who learnt from the current textbooks. why haven't we done better. ending up with self-tormenting fews the president's critics say these following the lead of her father, surviveling political opposition. she's calling for a ban, saying they could allow infiltration by state militants. >> in south korea, the

government resolved issues. it's different from the past. but the lack of dialogue is worrying. the government says it wants to instill a shared sense of pride in the past. in doing so, it exposed deep divisions of its presence. >> japan is to restart whale hunting after a year-long pause. the military fisheries says the minke whales would be hunted. the international court of justice ruled that japan was contravening a moratorium on gaol hunting. >> a war in lima has been dividing neighbours. some saying it was built to prevent crime and find a way to separate areas from the rich. it's become a problem in the

region. >> reporter: it's 10km long, and many call it the wall of shame. on one side a rich neighbourhood. on the other, a poor area of lima. the gap between the rich and poor is among the highest in latin america. nowhere is it more clear han here. they have been watching the wall built over the last 30 years. >> the wall was guilt so the poor people couldn't cross to the other side. >> over the years the need for safety and security justified an existence for some. tens of thousands of peruvians living in suburbs like this has taken over public and private properties. like many here. the family is living there, but on land it's belonging to the side. >> on the other side they have sewerage and water. we can't have the services

because we don't have property titles. >> it is wrong to call it the wall of shame. >> there are walls everywhere in the city. it's not discriminatory when we divide next-door neighbours, on the other side it divides us from poor people. >> the national institute says 30" of leyla's 10 residents have been a victim of some form of crime. many have built security barriers around the property. >> we are a kilometre downhill. in this poor neighbourhood. people are living in gated communities because of insecurity. >> millions of securities live in poor conditions, and crime is high, as a result of urban planning. >> translation: lima is one of the most insecure cities because of crime.

the elite and poor enclose themselves. >> the government says it's taking action by increasing police presence in some areas, and better training for its officers. back at the home. he understands how some may see the wallace discriminatory. it's not important. for him, it's about having safety for his family. so much so that his wife has to stay home to protect what they own, rather than going to work to earn a living all the sport straight ahead on this hour. find out how this man had to lift - how much, rather this man had to lift to break the world record.
