continues from doha. >> announcer: this is al jazeera. welcome to any news hour here on in doha. the united states announces an international meeting on syria as a divided opposition struggles for unity. [ cheers and applause ] >> you have no choice. donald trump calls for muslims to be banned from entering the united states. his rivals say he is unhinged, bigoted and fascist. violence in the west bank,

after an 19-year-old palestinian is killed during an israeli raid on a refugee crisis. your top sports story this thursday, it's now or never for manchester united. we'll look ahead to all of tuesday's ties. ♪ welcome to the program. the u.s. in the last half hour or so announcing plans to hold an international meeting on sir why in new york next week. it comes after high-level talks aimed attening the conflict. >> we talked about syria, and the need for the u.n. negotiations to be able to begin and hopefully for a ceasefire to be able to take effect. >> now exactly who at tends those discussions will depend on

the outcome of a meeting going on right now between a fractured and divided syrian opposition in riyadh. over 120 delegates are taking part in the talks in the saudi capitol aimed at agreeing to a unified position. turkey today reiterating its calls for a safe zone inside syria, although the territory it has identified has been the target of those russian air strikes. research is suggesting the flow of foreign fighters joining isil has more than doubled since june of last year. as many as 31,000 foreigners have gone to fight with armed groups in iraq and syria. our senior political analyst yoin -- joins us now. how far away from a cohesive voice are they right now? >> well, certainly the idea they

are attending the talks is a good sign. there is more than one effort on a number of fronts to get this thing to be resolved. that's always positive. and i think saudi arabia who has had long complicated relations with syria and assad in previous decades, seems quite dedicated to get this to work. so the idea of inviting them there, that has already solved some of the problem, and i think there is going to be a lot of head knocking, if you will over the next few hours and coming days. >> some people have been saying if al-nusra split that wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing, because then this coalition could work with half of al-nusra, but what would happen to the other bit of it. >> there is no doubt that the assad regime's extremism and

violence has lead to great violence and extremism, and the return of al-qaeda, or al-nusra, and daesh, or the islamic state group. these two are quite strong. i mean there is no kidding about they. they are some of the most vicious, but they are also some of the most potent groups in syria today fighting on the ground. so no matter what happens in saudi arabia, the idea that al-nusra would split would mean that the most radical of the radical groups in syria are weakened to some degree. but we still have isil and there is a long way to go in terms of, first of all passfying the assad regime and its violence, and then pacifying isil. >> there is also speculation about foreign volunteers trying to get into the theater of combat. fold that together with one other aspect, people are also saying this, that turkey,

perhaps has wanted some of these invitations that were on the mailing list not to be posted. why would turkey want to effect neuter some of the groups on the ground in syria? >> look, clearly -- first of all, a bit of a vau -- caveat, i'm a bit suspicious about the numbers i hear about the foreign fighters. the second part is that most of those countries if not all of the countries who are involved in syria, turks included because they have that very important border with syria, they are all in it for something, and they all have certain agendas. iran has an agenda, turkey, saudi arabia, jordan, et cetera, et cetera, let alone, russia and the united states. so turkey has its own agenda, and it has a problem with some of the kurds who they deem

terrorists because they deem that they have relations and contacts to some of the kurdish separatists parties who have in fact carried violent acts within turkey itself. so for example, the likes of the united states has problems with the likes of al-nusra, turkey has problems with al-nusra and other parts in syria. >> just to paraphrase what you are saying. the political topography is so difficult to put a lid on for the u.s.-lead coalition, is it safe to say that what happened in paris really focused the outside world's mind on we haven't quite got a handle on what needs to happen and we're now doing it? nay are still playing catchup, if you will. >> absolutely. and it's unfortunately it took the terrible death of 100-plus parisians and french people to get this going, rather than the

death of 300,000 syrians over the last three or four years. there is a bit more urgency today. but we need to separate the political process from the military or security process on the ground, because for the time being these are not one in the same, and isil and al-nusra are not part of the political process, hence defeating them eventually, that's a whole other process from the political process. >> thank you very much. the cameraman working for the al jazeera news network has died of his injuries after being shot in syria. he was wounded last wednesday while covering a ceasefire. he started as a citizen journalists documenting the war in his hometown. he is the six al jazeera staff member who has been killed while covering the conflict in syria since 2011. a palestinian teenager has been shot dead by the israeli army in the best bank. protesters gathered after a raid on a refugee crisis in

bethlehem. stephanie decker is live for us. take us through what happened here. >> reporter: that's right. he was killed in a raid in a refugee crisis close to bethlehem. his funeral has taken place earlier in the day, and then we had tens of protesters who marched towards the center of bethlehem close to rachel's tomb on a road that has become a flash point. so this is in response to his funeral, the israeli army said it arrested 21 people in overnight raids to what they say were people responsible for carrying out terror acts as they call it, and political violence, so these are images you see of tear gas, it's business as usual in the occupied west bank also

in occupied east jerusalem there is a lot of frustration on the streets. the palestinians will say that the eyes of the world have forgotten them. a lot of frustration here still when you see these confrontations that take place on a weakly and daily basis. always these car rammings we're seeing, still happening on a very regular basis. so it goes to show, it has almost become business as usual here, which is kind of a strange think -- thing to say, but there's very little hope to a solution to this situation. we know that nothing is on the table politically to try to get the two sides together at the moment, so it just shows you how frustrated the street is, in that these kinds of scenes which are strong images of the army, using tear gas, and rubber-quoted bullets, this is

the norm here. >> stephanie thanks very much. well there was swift international condemnation of the republican presidential candidate donald trump after he called for muslims to be banned from entering the united states. and the republican sensor, lindsey graham said: well, amid a rising tide of islamaphobia, barack obama has sent messages to reassure religious leaders they are not being targeted. >> reporter: jeh johnson at this virginia mosque to send a

message to the muslim community, they are not the enemy. but he admits islamaphobia is on the rise in the u.s., and there is growing concern about the potential for a violent backlash. >> we have seen incidents already. i have heard about incidents in the meeting i just had hear that were just horrible. and so i am concerned. >> reporter: one reason comments from republican presidential candidates like donald trump who is now calling for all muslims to be banned from entering the united states. the chief iman here says he believes islamaphobia in the u.s. is worse than it has ever been. and he says it is muslim children that are paying the price because many are being bullied. >> what i'm worried about, this kind of talk is impacting the average american who does not know us, who their children go

to the same school as our children. >> reporter: another presidential candidate, rand paul is pushing a bill to stop immigration from 34 countries, all muslim majority countries except one. >> because north korea is on the list shows that we are not profiling. it may not fit your logic, but my logic is if you have a country on there in which there are no muslims, it is not just based on muslims. >> reporter: at the mosque, where they have increased security, there is growing concern, but always hope. >> some people have said the same thing about jewish communities before [ inaudible ]. some people have said the same thing about president kennedy. is he -- can he be trusted? where are his loyalties? america had went through that before. and america is going through this now. but we shall overcome. >> reporter: a hope for an end

to the politics of fear, but one that apparently won't be realized in this election cycle. joining us now live is the author of "the future of us almost," who joins us via scope. is islamaphobia really on the increase, and if it is, what are the chances that it will stay where it is at the moment? >> oh, i think it definitely is, if you look at the hate crimes that have occurred. you look at mr. trump who has taken the kinds of positions he has taken, he is taking them because he believes they are populous and they will improve his ratings. one of the keys to understanding where rewith now, is that a,

many studies show it's when we have elections in america, you see the rhetoric of islamaphobia emerging. and then of course when you have a situation as we just had in california, it becomes exacerbated even more, even though the accusations that have been made fly in the face of hard data about the vast majority of american muslims. >> is he actually fuelling islamaphobia, or is he reacting to islamaphobia and riding a wave almost? >> i think he is doing both. i think that clearly he senses a wave, but as when he -- as when he -- you know, turned on -- on mexican americans and others, you know, he senses a way, he plays to it, you know, a kind of what he sees as a populist wave,

and when you watch the crowds and the way they result, and you watch his numbers going up, the same thing could be made about mr. carson, when he made the statement that a muslim should not be allowed to run for president, right after that his numbers went up as did his donations. so they pull off, but then they also fuel. >> it is always disquieting when my politician zeros in on a minority. fast forward for us. if in january, if donald trump gets the job as president, surely what he is talking about now would never become the law of the united states. >> that's true. i mean one of the things that one also has to factor in, is that at time american politicians will in fact take a position that will get them

elected, knowing ahead of time that it is never going to happen. we had a situation a few years ago when lindsey graham and mccain took a position that would have required a change in the constitution, and savvy political comment taitors today they knew that change wouldn't take place. but if in election time in order to play to what they see as a substantial hard right position, they will make these kinds of statements, and i think trump's record is just very clear, he holds his finger up to the wind and then takes his positions from that. >> briefly, sir, there are such strong powerful currents in what he has been saying. he is marches himself up to the top of the hill. i'm a little bit anxious to ask you what do you think he can say next to keep his ratings up, to keep him on fox news, say?

>> well, it won't take very much. i have been following, for example, the post california, horrific event, and if you look at the amount of media coverage of it, and the extent to which mr. trump gets far more coverage than for example president obama's speech last night. so i think trump is positioned very well. even main stream media now, it feels that it is forced to cover every ridiculous utterance that he makes. the danger is that in fuelling islamaphobia, his hands, are going to be bloodied if there is blood spilled. he is fuelling islamaphobia. so you do have attacks destruction, and he has to take some of the responsibility for that. >> thank you very much. the american rock band that was playing at the paris concert hall when it was attacked by

suicide bombers has now returned to the venue. they laid flowers at the concert hall. they managed to escape the violence by hiding in a dressing room. 130 people were killed overall. the band made a surprise visit during a performance with u-2 on monday. coming up here on the al jazeera news hour for you. fears that feeding antibiotics to animals could be putting humans at risk. i'm in a caribbean island that says by 2020 it will run 1200% on green energy, and we'll show you how. the suspended president begins his campaign to clear his name. okay. let's take you to china now. beijing today issuing its

first-ever red alert for air pollution. schools have been advised to stay closed. millions of private cars have been banned from the streets. >> reporter: flying into a city that feels under siege, and where the enemy is everywhere. poisonous particles in the air have once again reached dangerous levels. such pollution is not rare, but the government's response was, although it didn't go far enough for some. >> translator: to wear a mask or not is a personal choice, but i think the government should have more control on the pollution instead of making us take the responsibility. >> translator: i had to cancel my football class because of this smog. >> reporter: the measures are unprecedented. schools advised to close. work halted at thousands of construction sites. cars are restricted from roads. the pollution is serious, but

it's not nearly as bad as it was this time last week, when the government issued a orange alert, leading some to wonder why a red alert has been issued now. but those often critical of the government are now applauding. >> this is a sign of a different attitude that beijing government really want to solve the problem and take care of the public health. >> reporter: china is the world's biggest emitter of greenhouse gas emissions. the government has promised to ensure they peak by 2030, the code red alert is a step towards meeting that challenge. adrian brown, al jazeera, beijing. the u.n. secretary general

ba baneky moon is hoping to reduce global warming by cutting defensance on fossil fuels. one of the most common phrases is energy independence. andy gallagher now reports from aruba on how they plan to make that a reality. >> reporter: they call aruba the happy island. and for a place that relies almost entirely on tourism, it is an apt nickname. but if all goes well, this tiny nation will be energy independent in just five years. >> i have a whole section here that takes care of all of the water. >> reporter: it's a goal that this environmentalist has been promoting for years. his hotel on the edge of the beaches is as eco friendly as they come, a philosophy he says helps his business and the environment. >> i always say to my customers feel good because you are

probably wasting less energy in coming on vacation to aruba than probably spending it at home. >> reporter: but the energy independence hasn't been easy. energy prices were rising steeply. thousands of barrels of diesel were being imported daily, and the local oil refinery closed its doors in 2012, which is why they began to consider alternatives. it has more than its fair share of potential power sources. the sun is an obvious one, but officials say by the end of 2016 almost half of the electricity to this island will be supplied by wind power, and that say the government makes them a leader in green technology. the government says the changes such as strapping old turbines and embracing solar power cost $300 million, but it's their global partners that made all of the difference. >> they come together in support

of what aruba does, but also basically, adding their message to an effort that is not only important for aruba, but i would say for the world. >> reporter: since the move to greener technology, electricity prices have dropped 25%. inflation has been reversed, and aruba is close to paying off the money it borrowed to make the changes. by 2020 it may be the nation others turn to as an example of what green really means. some breaking news for you coming to us out of afghanistan. taliban fighters have launched a number of attacks in kandahar and stormed a u.n. nato base. our correspondent joins us on the phone from kabul. walk us through what we think is happening here. >> reporter: this is the second attack in less than 24 hours in kandahar province. last night taliban

fighters -- we believe two fighters attacked a police check point, and tonight we know a b in of attacks [ inaudible ] attackers entered the compound of the -- the residential area where the afghan army officers live, and they have taken position in a school building there, and opened fire in blocks around the school, which most of the afghan army officers live. afghan official in kandahar are saying that fighting is still going on, and they believe there is a number of casualties from civilian fighters also from the afghan military officers. and also they say near the biggest american or foreign base in that region kandahar airport is supposed to be one of the biggest airports for the nato american forces operating in

afghanistan. >> if it's that big, i'm assuming they must have had some form of security on the outside of the base, but even given that, that security level wasn't high enough to stop what is happening. >> reporter: yes, we know that, you know, there are security check points everywhere around this airport, but the taliban nowadays, they could manage to enter the most secure area even in kabul inside the capitol, and also in other provinces, so they are going -- these number of attackers are going into that base, through the residential area of the afghan army officers, and carrying the weapons with them, that is a big question. >> thank you very much. more than 8 million people in ethiopia are in need of emergency aid according to the united nations. parts of the count think try -- country are experiencing

one of the worst droughts in years. >> reporter: this woman and her children's struggle is perhaps proof that climate change hits the world's poorest people the hardest. she says she and her eight children are waiting to receive humanitarian aid. hot winds of el nino, the effects of which, scientists say are being made worse by global warming, have destroyed this year's harvest in parts of ethiopia. the u.n. says there are 8.2 million people like her who need emergency aid. it says that figure could rise to 15 million in coming months. >> translator: we have nothing this year. we have no plan. it's up to god. after the harvest failed the men and children who were strong enough left to try to find work. >> reporter: the ethiopian government has allocated $192 million, but the u.n. says $600 million may be needed. international donors have been slow to respond.

the u.n. says around 350,000 children are expected to require treatment for malnutrition. but ethiopia has plenty of water. this is the worst drought to hit some areas of ethiopia since the 1980s. but this country has vast water resources. the surface area of that water covers around 440 square kilometers, the problem is the lack of irrigation infrastructure to get that water to some of the effected areas close by. farmers lucky enough to be near the lake pump water. there's virtually no irrigation infrastructure to get water from lakes and rivers to some of the remote areas hit hardest by the drought. irrigation investment has been slow, because projects such as

drilling bore holes are so expensive. but the government says it is trying to get water to some of the most effected areas. >> translator: we are trying to reach every farmer giving them access to irrigation. the government is investing heavily. some of the projects are supported by donors. >> reporter: around 80% of ethiopias, approximately 96 million people work in agriculture, and farming generates around 40% of the country's gdp. with such limited access to water, millions of people like her can only hope that next year there's a lot more rain. charles stratford, al jazeera. do say with us, plenty more to come, including we report from papua new guinea on a victorian disease that is making a deadly comeback. plus -- they are thinking about social issues, political issues.

turkey is refusing to withdraw soldiers from northern iraq, despite the iraqi government insisting they must lea leave. we have reaction from both sides of the border in a moment, we'll hear from imran khan in immigration reform bill, but first our correspondent has the latest out of istanbul. what is the logic behind having those people in there in the first place? and how is ankara justifying its decision not to withdrawal them? >> reporter: yes, the reason for that, is that they say they agreed with the iraqis over a year ago to have a number of turkish trainers help train iraqi volunteers. any iraqi army to fight isil. that's when isil overtook the iraqi city of mosul in june of last year. so then there were a

number -- about 150 up to 200. and this time turkey sent about -- up to 600 soldiers to replace them, and beefed up security and also sent armored vehicles and tanks. they say this is part of turkey's help to iraq to arm, train, and find isil, and help iraqi forces liberate mosul from isil. >> imran, if this was the local government who invited these people in, surely the government in baghdad knows that, and is playing some sort of slightlypy cure lar game here >> reporter: i think what happened was the number of troops that came over shocked baghdad. what you have got to realize is there is a real fear amongst a lot of the mp's and people in

iraq is this is turning into a proxy war within iraq. a lot of the sunnis are worried about the iranian role in the country, a lot of the shias are worried about turkey's role as well. so there is this real fear that there is a proxy war going on. and everybody is worried about what russia and the u.s. are doing. they may have known about all of these troops coming into the country before, but suddenly they are thinking, what is happening? all f -- of these regional powers are using us as a battleground. so that's what we have been hearing from the lawmakers. but there has been no official reaction from the prime minister or any of his party. what we do know is the president of the kurdish region where i am at the moment has spoken to the

prime minister, and the role of turkey was discussed and the fight against isil. but behind the scenes, this looks like the iraqis are just trying to control what is happening within their own country. >> thank you very much. there is a meeting a little later today in new york. team in new york will keep you across all of the developments. so stay with us on that. yemen's government has accepted a u.n.-backed ceasefire scheduled to begin next week. however, as rob reports there are concerns the latest truce may fail. >> reporter: yemen's president confirms another sig sighs -- ceasefire will begin in a few days. in a letter to u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon, he says:

u.n. special envoy to -- yemen is optimistic. >> we have had discussion and everybody seems to be welcoming the idea to have a ceasefire. >> reporter: the saudi-lead coalition had been conducting air strikes in yemen for nearly nine months now. back in june, the u.n. tried to immediate between the government and houthi forces and their allies, but negotiators walked out before the talks even began. the houthis refused to withdrawal from territory they had seized. so the saudi coalition said the bombing would continue unless they pulled out.

in july a ceasefire ended within hours. it was the latest in a series of broken agreements. some of those who support the houthi rebels blame the u.n. for playing a role in the ongoing fighting. >> translator: during wars and throughout history, truces have been violated, and where there is no party to observe it, each of the warring parties will blame the other on breaking it. the u.n. has become political cover for the aggression against yemen and for letting the crisis continue. >> reporter: the saudi-lead campaign was expected to be short lived, but it continues. the cost has been significant. and the humanitarian cost is even higher. the u.n. says at least 2,000 civilians have been killed since march, and around 1.5 million yemenis have been forced from their homes. the southern indian city is

cleaning up after its worst flooding in more than 100 years. and now our attention is turning to why it caused so much damage. critics and environmentalists are blaming the government for not being prepared. >> reporter: this woman has lived here for as long as she can remember. there is not much left of the place she calls home. but like many of her neighborhoods, she is not surprised. her neighborhood is in a low-lying area. it was right in the path of the floods. >> translator: why did the government build us a house in this low-lying area. they built houses in the riverbeds and we came here. if the lake is open, it will flood this place, then where will we go? >> reporter: as she picks through the remains of her home, across her neighborhood, there is signs of why it wasn't able to cope.

like many indian cities, it doesn't have the capacity to deal with a crisis of this magnitude. >> probably the systems are taken in line with [ inaudible ] bad waters and good waters [ inaudible ] roads were properly laid up and ready for this kind of calamity, we would have saved a little more of the damage than what was done last week. >> reporter: experts say this devastation is not only the result of unexpectedly heavy rainfall, but also poor city planning. >> if you go in the industry, the flooded areas of the city, you will see most of them are in low-lying area, in [ inaudible ] lakes or marsh land. so most of these areas are effected only because of this, and it will be [ inaudible ] authority should have -- should have taken enormous caution before giving them license and

approvals for construction of buildings. most of these places the areas that i just mentioned [ inaudible ] buildings have come up. >> reporter: this someone of the country's most developed cities, but this flood caught authorities unaware and unprepared. these scenes are a timely reminder to the rest of india of the need to do more to prevent such disasters, so millions of people like this woman, can live without fear their homes will be flooded. now the south african athlete oscar pistorius has been granted bail while awaiting sentencing. last week the supreme court changed his conviction from culpable homicide to murder. he will remain under house arrest until sentencing next week. the mining company, anglo

global limit. and one of the reasons we say that is due to our awareness and sympathy for the challenges in the emerging world. as these countries get wealthier and people have more incomes, they want to eat better food, and we shouldn't stop them having that right because we have that right in the rest of the world, but they need to develop much better health systems, in particular much greater surveillance techniques, as well as a way to deal with the waste coming out of animal excretion, and the disposal of unwanted drugs, much of which is going into our water systems, which is a problem for all of us. we highlight denmark in this regard, they can do the right thing, but unless they split themselves off from the rest of the world, they still suffer the consequences because of the bad behavior elsewhere. so it's important that we all do
