new york. the news continues live from london next. ♪ >> hello there, i'm barbara serra, welcome to the news hour live from london. coming up in the next 60 minutes. >> to defeat the evil organization of isil for good. >> the british prime minister makes his case for airstrikes against isil and syria, a crucial vote in parliament is just hours away. russia's defense ministry says it has proof that turkey's president has profited personally by the sell of oil by

isil. isil dismisses it as a slur. a flood that leaves hundreds people cut off. we know about the danger in sugar that you can. what about the sugars you can't see. hidden sweeteners. >> the british employment ha --prime minister has set up his case against what he calls the medieval monsters of the islamic state in iraq and the levant. they're debating between keeping

britain safe by taking isil in its stronghold or sitting back and waiting for an attack on british soil. some are against action which they think is an ill-thought out rush to war. and it is likely that david cameron will get his way. meaning british's bombing mission will expand from iraq into syria within days. well, emma hayward is live at westminster. the debate has continued on, are we getting any sense of how it's going? the force of a couple more hours to go still? >> well, it has been a rowdy debate and a lively one. 157 mps apply to speak, and we are now more than halfway through the debate. we'll know the results in just a few hour's time. and mps being asked whether airstrikes should be extended to

syria. the message very clear is the people inside the house, the mps inside the house are unified. but some say needs to be done to try to tackle isil. but there are divisions on how to do it. >> perhaps the toughest political decision. the chamber was packed. mps waiting to hear the british prime minister's argument for striking isil. >> these terrorists are plotting to kill us and radicalize our children right now. they attack us because of who we are not because of what we do. >> refusing to apologizing for branding terrorists. >> not only is that offensive, it is dangerous and it is untrue. >> this is a debate which has

divided opinion inside and outside the house. no one here doubts the dangers posed by isil, and that some something needs to be done. but how to do it has caused disruptions in british politics. >> whether it's a strategy worth a name, the absence of credible ground troops, the plan of syrian settlement. the failure to address the impact of the terrorist threat, it's becoming increasingly clear that the prime minister's proposal for military action simply do not stack up. >> many in parliament wanted to know more about the claim that there were 70,000 moderate opposition forces willing to fight isil on the ground. >> i'm not arguing that the 70,000 are ideal partners. some of them do have views we don't agree with. but the definition of the 70,000 are people we're prepared to work with and continue to be

prepared to work with. >> even before isil's attack on paris, which killed 130 people, mr. cameron would steer his government to make this choice. a vote on attacking president assad's forces in syria failed to pass in 2013. a year later mps here voted to carry out airstrikes in isil and iraq. since then britain has carried out more than 380 airstrikes on targets in iraq. >> extending the air force bombing in iraq into syria is a small element. over and above that we have to put what we're doing into a wider political framework to build a more secure future for syria and secure the region itself. >> but there is an inevitability here that this motion will pass. britain, like many other nations is more weary. the conflicts in iraq and

afghanistan loom large. but assuming support, airstrikes could begin within days or hours. >> let's just follow on to what you were saying about the public support for military action. the u.k. of course, bit once, twice bitten shy, this isn't the same issue. how do you perceive public support to be for this? >> well, david cameron spoke about that today in the chambers saying this was not 2003, and we shouldn't look at the mistakes made then. now public opinion is very mixed. the up in opinion poll suggests that 48% of people were in favor of military action. that dropped from 59% in recent days, actually. where we are not far from where we are there is a big antiwar protest taking place.

i say big. there are just a couple of hundred people taking part in that. we have to report back in 2003 ahead of the iraq invasion we saw 1 million people out on the streets in london. we're not seeing that kind of voice in such big numbers. but people here are very resigned that these strikes will take place. of course we'll get the results in just a few hours of time. >> emma hayward just outside with those demonstrations, thank you. well, we've been hearing the prime minister david cameron defending his assertion that our 70,000 moderate opposition fight necessary syria who are ready to work with britain. mr. cameron is mainly referring to members of the free syrian army who encompass idlib, near homs, and near the south. this is the territory under the

control of isil with aleppo in the north and to the iraqi border. here is the rebound held by the government largely in the west, which includes president bashar al-assad's stronghold latak ia. now this claim there are 70,000 allies. moderate is the word that the prime minister has used on the ground to effectively do the rest of the work, is it true? is it over stretch? >> numerically there might be 70,000 people on the ground who are considered moderate. by that the government means fighting against bashar al-assad and fighting against

al-qaeda. actually in some areas particularly around idlib and aleppo, they're in in alliance with al nusra. there is no chance they would fight against al-qaeda. they would lose. yes, there may be 10,000 to 15,000 rebels there. and there may be 15,000 rebels in damascus, but they don't constitute an army across the front line like the prime minister was saying. he really didn't qualify the figure. >> do you think the vote would be useless? >> no, they're there to target isis, not bashar al-assad. the prime minister is saying if we use airstrikes, that is a workable strategy, but we need to have a political agreement with assad and these opposition groups at the time. the problem is, a lot of these

rebel groups are fighting against assad and russian air force. >> there are others groups that the west does not recognize. you mentioned the al nusra front. a few weeks ago general at th general petraeus suppose about this. >> al nusra is not even in the cards. >> but some of the others. >> there are more moderate groups that people are looking at. there are more moderate groups that might be pore palatable. but right now we're trying to work with those groups who are

not inclined to extremist behavior but we have to be more humble saying there are areas where we can work, particularly in southern syria and work with our partners there, and to the north it's a lot more difficult. >> going back to the airstrikes, assuming they happen, what could they bring? >> right now what the u.k. has is eight tornado forces operating over iraq and have already been in syria providing reconnaissance intelligence and surveillance missions. we're already flying over syria and providing targeting information, we're just not dropping weapons. what that vote would allow those trods to do is drop weapons. we have an array of different type of munitions.

>> so the brits have got a pretty good piece of kit here which has a low fair right and it's pretty precise. what we can bring to the table is precision. but the problem is this in iraq we were not taking a lot of airstrikes while up in the air. there are only 160 kinetic strikes in iraq over the last year and a half. it's not going to be a huge volume of strikes. >> do you think it's the right decision for the u.k. to get involved in bombing in syria. >> i think there is merit if you're going to take on isis, it's strange you're going to do it in iraq but not syria. it does make sense. isis doesn't recognize the border. they're operating freely in syria. a military strategy can help.

but if you're going to sit there and say bombing raqqa makes you safe in london, that's not the case. this is a political military strategy where he needs to make a bigger distinction. >> everyone talks about 2003 and what happened there. militarily what do you think the british have learned about taking that kind of military action in the east? >> first of all, going in with large numbers with boots on the ground is pretty unpopular. at this point in time the british are not looking to stabilize on the ground areas of iraq and syria where they're really not welcome. what the coalition is looking for are people on the ground, the kurds were the easiest partners to deal with, and then the iraqi government. the big problem is in syria who are we going to partner with on the ground? that's the issue. that's what is leading to the abraham. it knows it would be rejected by

the local population. this is lead together conundrum that we have. >> thank you very much for sharing your views with us. >> an al jazeera cameraman has been wounded while working in homs, in syria. he was shot in the head while filming airstrikes. he was taken to a mak makeshift hospital where he's said to be in stable continue. there has been agreement to a cease-fire in a rebel-held area near homs city. still much more to come on al jazeera including the challenges faced by rastafarians who have moved to ethiopia.

>> russia's defense ministry said that the turkish president and his family are involved in an illegal oil trade with isil. they display what they say is proof. the countries have been in a war of words since the russian plane was shot down last week. >> these satellite images say russian defense shows the syrian-turkey border. on the left, 240 oil tankers and trucks, on the right, vehicles waiting to make the crossing. offering evidence that turkey is helping isil by buying illegal oil. >> turkey is the main consumer of oil stolen from its rightful owners syria and iraq. according to information we've seen the senior leadership of the company president erdogan and his family are involved in this criminal business. >> the resist between russia and turkey over syria ar is getting

personal. >> no one has the right to slander turkey by saying that turkey buys oil from isil. turkey has not lost its ethical values so as to buy oil from a terrorist organization. >> the united states has defended it's nato ally, a statement from the pentagon said that we reject the premise that they're in league to smuggle oil. we've seen no evidence to support such an accusation. more over turkey is taking steps to improve the security of its border with syria working with international partners. one goal of this is to cut off isil's smuggling. it is estimated that isil controls 60% of syria's oil capacity and 10% of iraqs. but russian and u.n. airstrikes and the falling price of oil is thought to have hit isil's profits. production has been halved to

40,000 barrels a day. turkey's president said he'll step down if these allegations are proven, but even if the evidence shared by the russian ministry on wednesday is what it says it is, there are not many who expect erdogan to start writing his resignation letter. moscow says it's simply trying to shut down isil sources of funding and deal the organization a crushing blow. as the minister explained it, terrorism without money is a beast without fangs. rory challenge lands, al jazeera, moscow. . >> well, i'm joined now by an academic in turkey's capital ankara. it is plain that russia's president vladimir putin has an axe to grind with turkey. but what do you think of this

claim that turkey is buying oil from the black market? >> i think that it is a bit of propaganda that russia uses against turkey because we know know--why shudde should erdogan put his position in such a risky position if they are dealing in the oil trade with isil. but putin in his g-20 summit speech implied some of the members of the g-20 summit support isil and has some relations with isil, and he obviously means turkey. we understand that russia to make such a political maneuver against turkey, so i personally

don't think that erdogan is formerly involved in such a relationship. >> i guess it's unlikely that russia will let this go in a sense. are you hearing that perhaps the turkish government will produce, do you think it needs to pry dues evidence to refute this claim, can it? >> of course, turkey takes serious the crisis with russia. because they value the relatio relations. turkish government more than 15 years. that is a personal friendship between erdogan and putin. the turkish government, the first priority is to restore the relationship. what is happening at the moment is there is a war of votes

between turkish government and russian government, and i don't think russian government or turkish government, they're not interesting to produce conclusive evidence or mutual allegation, but instead they have preferred to accuse each other by involving--by practicing votes rather than trying to convince more about the allegation. >> an academic in ankara, thank you. montenegro has been invited to join nato 16 years after the bloc bonded in the 1990s. the country is strategically important as it sits on th on

the adreatic sea, but russia is not happy. >> welcome as growing members of the club the alliance stressed the importance of the move. >> montenegro's going to nato is another step for the integration of the balkan nations. it is important that nato keeps its door open to keep our ambition of an europe whole and free and at peace. >> ththey have already done huge amounts of work. we did implementation of reforms deeply in the sector of defense, in the sector of security. we're dealing with a rule of l

law. so this is th complimentary. >> still, the reaction on the streets of montenegro's capital is mixed. >> it means a lot to me. i'm so happy that we received an invitation. >> i think that nothing new will happen. nothing will be better here in another 50 years, with or without nato because our people are bad. they have to change first. >> i would say it's great. for old people and young ones. i hope it will an little bit better. better than it used to be. >> montenegro formerly a part of yugoslavia has certainly come a long way in the last two decades. in 1999, montenegro was hit hard by nato airstrikes aimed as stopping the crackdown against ethnic albanians in kosovo. the regions are very different now.

croatia slovenia are nato members. it leaves only serbia not looking westward but towards russia. on wednesday individual individual's spokesman warned of retaliatory actions. >> i would say to russia or any other country that worries or thinks about this, this is not focused on them specifically. it's focused on the potential of defense against anybody or anything that is a threat, including isil. >> montenegro's flags could soon be flying here as nato's 29th member once it has pushed through more democratic reforms and the 28 parliaments have approved it. good news for the alliance but another reason for russia to push back. al jazeera, nato headquarters in brussels.

>> aung san suu kyi ha's government has met for the first time they discussed the government which will take power next year. the constitution bars su u u kyi from becoming president, but she said she'll take a position above the president. >> more than 150 people were killed in an attack. most of them children. the men were executed at a high security prison in the northwestern city. >> pakistan has carried out four more executions after the pakistani military signed a black warrant and the president of pakistan turned down their

clemency appeal. it stems from the attack of a school in 2014. pakistan will be commemorating the anniversary of that deadly attack in which 150 people were killed, mostly children. now the military has been given the country's supreme court and parliament saying that the military can't function becaus --can function because pakistan is in a state of war. there has been some of the worst flooding in india's history. we have reports now from new delhi. >> heavy rain has poured on people in the state for weeks. now many in southern india are trapped insteadly rising

floodwaters. coastal areas including the state capital are hardest hit. national emergency response teams have been sent to try to rescue thousands of people. >> everything else is done. >> conditions deteriorated on tuesday with heavy downpours making waterlogged areas even worse. people are using social media to describe how they're being badly hit. some major roads resemble rivers. flooding has damaged other infrastructure. the city's main airport is closed. commuters trying to reach the south have been left stranded across end. >> all flights from mumbai have been canceled.

the airlines are issuing flights for tomorrow or the day after, but they have not said thing about accommodating us. everybody is an tated. none of the nearby hotels are vacant. where do we go. >> india has warned that much more rain is on the way. al jazeera, new delhi. >> much more still to come on al jazeera, including. >> i'm jennifer glasse in afghanistan, where solar power is bringing electricity to afghan homes that never had it before. >> and in sport can liverpool continue their revival. we'll look ahead to their league quarterfinal with south amp ton.

>> at 9:30 - "america tonight" - top investigative reporting, uncovering new perspectives. >> everything that's happening here is illegal. >> then at 10:00 - it's "reports from around the world". >> let's take a closer look. >> antonio mora gives you a global view. >> this is a human rights crisis. >> and at 11:00 - "news wrap-up". clear... concise... complete. >> a reminder of the top stori stories. politicians are debating whether to authorize airstrikes in isil and syria and are due to vote

later. turkish president has hit back with allegations that he has been buying oil from isil. president erdogan says its slander. flooding has forced thousands to leave their homes in india. al-qaeda in the indian peninsula has consolidated it's grip in southern yemen to recapture two key towns by the government it comes as fighting continues between houthi rebels and government fighters in taiz. >> another casualty of the war in yemen. the city of taiz has been besieged for weeks. houthi fighters backed by loyalists are trying to maintain control. their enemies are soldiers loyal to abd rabbuh mansur hadi trying

to recapture taiz and civilians are suffering. yemenis run from one area under bombardment to another. some neighborhoods are controlled by the houthis. others by government forces and there is fighting everywhere. [ sobbing ] >> i have nothing to say but may god take revenge on the houthis. >> the houthises are control the capital of sanaa. but the situation isn't much different. people are desperate for food, supplies and healthcare. there are reports of differences betwee within the government. some reports have been leaked clip raidly to undermine the hadi government. >> a lot of interest groups that would benefit showing that this

government is weak. they are know fleecing the country as we speak. from several avenues of revenue including the petroleum industry, refinery, and a lot of revenue areas that they're benefiting from. so these are the ones who are fueling these kinds of leaks and these kinds of rumors to continue the status quo as it is right now. but i don't think this would continue for a very long time. >> but for many yemenis it's been a very long time. yet another u.n. brokered meet something expected in geneva. any agreement would not just need a support of the groups fighting on the ground, but saudi arabia and iran who support tribal sites. 5,000 people have been killed in the war. for many in yemen there isn't much hope for a peaceful

solution any time soon. >> cameroon's army has freed as many as 900 hostages and killed 100 members of boko haram. the operation is said to have taken place recently on the border between cameroon and nigeria. there is no independent confirmation because reporters can't get to the region. nigeria's former national security adviser has been arrested after being accused of steeling $2 billion. it's alleged that they embezzled the money that was allocated for weapons to fight boko haram. he denies the allegations. the health risk of eating too much sugar are well-known. but the report highlighting the dangers of hiddenned sugars in packaged food. three-quarters of packaged foods include added swea sweeteners.

these come in hundreds of different forms of sugar that can have the same negative health effect. they say that sugar consumption is rising fastest in africa, latin america, caribbean and asia. we have more from bangkok. >> thailand is the second largest exporter of sugar but it is a big consumer. sugar has been a main stay of thai cuisine such as these sweets. the intake of sugar has increased even more. the average thai consumes 104 grams of sugar each day. that's four times the amount that's recommended by the "world health organization." in fact, thailand has the second highest obesity rate in southeast asia and has seen a spike i in the days case of diabetes. the government is going to go

after advertising of sugar use in items like drinks. >> sir, thank you so much for joining us on al jazeera. this report is all about hidden sugars. tell us which are the most unlikely foods where there is a lot of sugar but we wouldn't expect there to be. >> especially you look--you read the labels in the united states. you will find that seasonings in salads that you wouldn't expect to have a lot of sugar. bread, because the especially fructose corn sugar extends the shelf life of bread, that contains a lot of sugar. and yogurts, the lite versions of yogurts they do have a lot of sugar. >> when you take out the fat,

they often put in sugar. there is also an issue that different types of sugars all amount to the same thing. is there a difference between honey or brown sugar or agava nectar or should we stay clear of all of them all together. >> essentially, a wise reasoning would dictate that we steer clear of all of them. especially when you drink them without any other substance. especially when you actually are overload your liver because essentially all sugar goes your liver. if you eat the sugar with a lot of fiber, and a lot of vegetables as a desert or things like that, that's not so problematic. the problem is when you have it in a large quantity very quickly without anything else. so it's empty calories that go directly to your liver. >> you mentioned calories, and a

lot of people think its calories in, calories out. and it's calories that matter. a lot of research that you've done as well as yourself, it's all about the dangers of sugar itself. explain to us why it is so damaging. >> that is a very good question. you're very well informed. calories are important. if you eat too many calories you will put on rate. however, the calories from glucose are not the same. when we talk about sugar we're talking about essentially compounds that has two little pieces. one is glucose and the other is fructose. the sugar in fruit. the glucose, when you eat it together, the glucose will increase your insulin levels and insulin is the hormone to put on

fat, to store energy. the fructose that is left it goes directly to the liver. when you have an onslaught of sugar, it will call for insult lan to store fat, and th the fat in the liver has two main avenues. either it will be stored in the liver, which is not good for you. the liver is not an organ to store fat, and the other one is part of it will go to your blood, and it will raise your fat in the flood 37 we call it bad cholesterol. none of those two things is good. the fat in the liver in certain people, in everybody, will then make the liver not understand the insulin message after you eat. so you become what we become insulin resistant person.

that's a person who needs two, three, four times more insulin to keep the blood sugar normal. but it makes you fat. the same amount of calories from glucose and fructose are not the same. because fructose stays in the liver, that produces insolent resistence, and after that you become a diabetes be provided you have the genetics and the time that lapse from one area to the other. >> thank you very much. >> let's take three of the unite united nations climate change conference in paris. many have been in the french capital to try to reach an agreement to cut carbon emissions. around 200 protesters have to be

forcebly removed by security after staging a sit-in demanding more action on climate change. well, afghanistan is a world leader in solar energy. it has the biggest solar project in central asia providing power from more than 3,000 homes and businesses. but as jennifer glasse reports, many residents believe that there is potential for much more. >> the solar arrays on the hills have made life better for some in this ancient valley. they will need to work longer hours to make more hours. >> when we didn't have electricity we use a generator. we had to wait until 10:00 in the morning to use it because we had to let it warm up. that wasted a lot of the day. now we have 24 hours worth of electricity. >> the solar power costs half of what he paid for diesel fuel. and the steady supply means that

he can operate sophisticated precipitatorsophisticate printers that would not have worked with his generators. >> this brings electricity to homes that never had it before. but there is not enough electricity to go around, and only a small fraction of people have access to it. >> the electricity lines don't out here. the government wants local residents to pay for power lines. the cost is out of reach for this poor neighborhood. >> we would really benefit with electricity like having a light to study by at night. we could use a washing machine. we could watch tv and see the news. >> even some businesses in the main market can't get power because the system here is already working to full capaci capacity. >> it is very expensive.

we want to get the power from this company, but they do not have the capacity. >> we feel the shortage seriously. right now we have only one mega watts of electricity. but to provide 24 hours of power we need five more mega watts. >> the electricity chief said that the central government does not have enough money to implement expansion plans, which include hydroelectric plants. he said that the power project in bamyan is refuted to be the most effective in afghanistan. but the cost is tiny compared to the $100 billion spent in international aid here in the past 15 years. despite it's limited success there are still many here waiting for the lights to come on. jennifer glasse, al jazeera. >> ratafarians around the world see ethiopia as their spiritual

home. many believe that it's last king was the messiah. but many face challenges having left their lives in the u.k. the u.s. and jamaica. charles stratford reports. >> many of these men traveled thousands of kilometers to live in what they say is their promised land. the town of shashemene is a spiritual home and a spiritual place for ratafarians around the world. this man who came from the u.k. four years ago beats the drum that they use in their worship. he tells me how ethiopia's former emperor gave 500 hectares of land for people of african origin to settle in in 1948. many now live here. they say they're fulfilling a

prophecy that the descendants of slaves will return. they believe that he was the messiah. joseph came from the u.k. 16 years ago. >> i'm here still doing what little we can to make as much difference as we can. yes. >> the rastafarians say they smoke marijuana, saying that it is their sacrament. local development has shrunk the land they live on to an area of five square hectares. they might have lost a lot of the land given to them by the former king, and they struggle with legal issues such as their residency status, but they say they want to leave the politics to the politicians. what is important is fulfilling their spiritual life in ethiopia. >> charlie came from london six

years ago. he lives with his ethiopian wife and four-year-old daughter. >> that is heaven. no, i think i'm living in paradise. they say after you die you go there. i have no believe about that. i have no experience about that. >> many of the ratafarians here have no legal rights. theithey cannot work legally. charlie said that they should recognize how they can contribute to ethiopia's development. >> i'm appealing to the government, not forcing no one, but i think i have a right to live on this earth wherever i

feel comfortable. that's my home. >> for charlie, his family, and for many others like them, this is where they want to be for the rest of their lives. charles stratford, al jazeera. >> still ahead on the news hour, counting characte sharks. scientists leading a project to save the ocean's most successful predator. and double trouble. mike tyson met his match in las vegas. we'll have that and the rest of the day's sports in just a moment.

>> time for sports news now, here is raul. >> the president of the national athletics has been defending how he has handled doping scandals. he insisted that his organization was getting its house in order. >> have there been failures, yes. will i fix them, absolutely. i'm absolutely focused on doing that. if we don't do that, i know there are no tomorrows in my sport. this is the crossroads. >> lee wellings has been watching proceedings saying that coe was questioned on a variety of subjects.

>> the questions came over the controversial link with nike. he was ambassador for nike for many years. now he has had to give up that role, but he was asked why didn't you give it up sooner? he has been in charge of world athletics for a hundred days. he said if he would have known there was going to be such a noise around it, he would have given it up sooner, but he insists there is no conflict. they were awarded the games. they would help to push and lobby within the world governing body.

>> liverpool have won six of their last seven competitions. >> so they're strong enough, a and--i think they understand because they lost the last two games, and so they want to strike back. if it's a home game, they have it out southampton and liverpool.

>> two back surgeries in the space of 18 months and has not started physio yet. the champion said his recovery has not been as smooth as it was following four previous operations on his knee. >> there is no timetable. and so that's the hardest part. that's the hardest part for me. there is really nothing i can look forward to. nothing that i can build towards. it's just taking it day by day, week by week and time by time. it's different from any of the surgeries and procedures i've had in the past. for nerves there really are no timetables. that is the trickier part of it. you can come back earlier, or you can come back later. it depends on how it heals and settles.

>> in boxing mike tyson rarely stood still, but now his fans will be able to stare at him for hours in las vegas. unveiling his wax work in the united states. it took 20 heartists nearly six months to create the figure from photographs. and it will go on display in the palm tussau ds museum there. >> they did a remarkable job. i brought my nephew in to see the statue, and he thought it was me. >> thank you. >> researchers say 100 million sharks are taken from the ocean every year for their fins and meat. but one new initiative hopes to fight the declining shark population by studying the species and their habitats. we have reports now from the florida keys. >> one by one sea creatures on

this reef in the pacific are unaware that their every move is being recorded as they swirl around the camera baited with fish. the camera is part of the world wide effort to count sharks. an ocean away off the florida keys. marine biologists is taking part in the first of its kind census. the process is tedious. >> on any one day we might put five or ten cameras in. >> metal cameras sit below these ground up cages. then lowered 60 to 80 feet. now the waiting period starts. between the time the bait goes into the water and the time they see sharks could be a couple of minutes or longer. after an hour and a half the

cameras are lifted back up, and on this dive plenty of fish try to get the bait, but not one shark came by. over in the bahamas researchers capture close up to the predators. the count is far from the exact science. >> how do you know if you're not counting the same shark over and over. we don't just count the sharks through the frame but we go through one frame and we look at how many sharks we see at one time so you don't count the same shark twice. >> expedition also take place all over the world with cameras capturing activity at more than 400 reaves generating 50,000 hours of tape. >> in general where you have lots of sharks you have healthy reefs. we want to know why that is, and so we could prioritize protecting sharks or how to rebuild their populations.

>> that can be a challenge. 100million sharks are captured every year for fins and meat. they're slower to reproduce than other fish. they can take ten years to produce offspring. >> how do we make sure that the coastal communities are sustainable for the environmental perspective. >> getting a clearer picture now underwater is critical to making that happen. al jazeera, in the florida keys. >> more on that and everything else we've been covering on our website. the address www.aljazeera.com. well, that's it for me and the rest of the team of the news hour. we'll be back with more of the day's news and the latest on the debate taking place in the british parliament. thanks for watching al jazeera. bye bye.

>> the action does not mount for strategy for security. >> british prime minister makes the case for airstrikes ahead of a long awaited vote in parliament. >> i'm lauren taylor live from london. russia has proof that president erdogan and his family benefited from the purchasing of oil from isil. experts
