park in southern china. i'll have all the day's sport, including barcelona continue to conquer in the fifa world cup, their fifth trophy of 2015. there's anger in the indian capital over the release of a convict in a gang rape and murder case in 2012. the man was 17 years old at the time, and he served the maximum term for a juvenile. he's been placed with an unnamed private organization for his own safety. we have more from new delhi. >> this case of the youngest offender involved in the 2012 gang rape attack has raised many questions particularly about the juvenile detention system in india, what happens to young offenders inside the system and
10:02 am
importantly, what happens once released. what is the roadmap for their rehabilitation and development, as well as their reintegration into society, a society that is deeply, deeply angry and frustrated by issues of sexual violence. as we heard from the experts and people we've been speaking to about the issue, that this is a long running problem acknowledge case is once again drawing attention to the root causes of one of india's biggest issues. >> she is doing what many young women do, she is out and about enjoying her day off, but with personal safety a big concern, she says having fun is limit to day times. >> it's too difficult to go out without a family member or without friends. day time is safe, but at night, you cannot hang out with your friends, because, you know, there is no security.
10:03 am
>> anger over the lack of safety for women spilled on to the streets of new delhi in 2012, after a woman was gang raped in a bus. the indian government says it has since taken action to improve conditions for women, but according to official crime statistics, nearly 100 women are raped in india every day. experts say this figure is grossly underreported. >> the attack three years ago provoked millions of indians to talk about sexual violence and women's safety, but experts who have followed and documented the issues for much longer warn they have long been india's secret national shame. >> across the country, rape is often blamed on social and cultural norms, which encourage men to assert power over women. >> there was a large patriarchal mindset that is very much in
10:04 am
operation and which has manifested itself in many ways, including sexual violence against women. >> social, cultural. >> this doctor has studied sexual offenders for more than 20 years. he says a lack of accountability at all levels of indian society is a big reason why sexual violence is so prevalent. >> the fence that i can get over with what i have done, the crime i have done or my offense is something increasing in the minds of the average person and especially the offenders. they know about it. secondly the criminal justice system is falling apart. >> outside the market that she is shopping in, a group of men hand over to police a man they accused of assaulting women. safety in numbers provides little comfort to women here. they're counting on the good will of people around them to ensure the fear of sexual
10:05 am
violence doesn't get in the way of their lives. >> attention has turned to the supreme court of india. it will be hearing a petition on monday from the deli women's commission. the commission is part of the deli government and effectively said that it does not think that the offender is ready to be reintegrated into society, that they fear he is a public security risk and may reoffend. they've also said that no proper psychological assessments have been done of his mental well being and his character, but overaveraging, the big issue that india will be discussing and is discussing is not just about juvenile justice across the country, but also why these crimes continue to take place, and what really needs to happen to create lasting change across the country, something that many people say hasn't happened three years on from one of the most gruesome cases that the country and the world has seen. peace talks in switzerland
10:06 am
between yemen's warring factions ended without agreement. the next round of attacks is expected to begin in january. the saudi-led coalition meanwhile has carried out more airstrikes on yemen, the latest raised targeting the outskirts of sanna. the sawed's say they struck a camp run by houthi rebels and their allies. fighting has continued despite a ceasefire agreed upon by the rival groups earlier in the week. air front has said the suspicious device found onboard its flight was a false alarm. it says the device did not pose any danger to the flight or passengers. the plane was traveling to paris and was diverted to kenya. the airline is talking with french prosecutors to open an investigation into the incident. all 459 passengers and 14 crew members are safe. the c.e.o. of air france has told reporters that the device
10:07 am
that caused the diversion of the flight to kenya was not capable of causing an explosion. >> after nationals, it was indicated that it was a false alarm, and all the information we have at this stage indicates that this object was suspicious. voters in spain could end the two party political system. the ruling people's party and opposition socialists.com mated politics for more than 30 years. let's go live to the spanish capital, madrid, and our correspondent david, david, how is it looking? have people been turning out in large numbers? >> yes. we've been speaking to political analysts and they say the turnout is running higher than the last election. that's according to the national figures that have officially been released. the analysts say there have been a few glitching with their software. he says that when the people i
10:08 am
spoke to said that the turnout is running ruffle about 75%. that i suspect not only due to an increase in the postal ballots but because there is a new energy in the youth vote. they are getting out to the polls. we've been looking at how the day's been going for all the leaders during the selection. >> there is a pivotal time and tide in the anniversary of all men, especially politicians. a thought on that which perhaps the spanish prime minister was reflecting as he took his morning exercise. morning exercise with his people's party struggling to keep ahead of a surge and support for two new parties, two new kids on the block. >> there's no such thing as certainty in politics, but one
10:09 am
thing can be guaranteed today, the prime minister, mariano rahoy is about to lose his absolutely majority in a congress of deputies. that could mean many months of negotiations before the coalition is decided and who will rule in spain. >> his hand has guided his country through some very rough economic waters, but there is nobody talking about bailouts. why the erosion in his support? >> corruption scandals mixed together with the economic crisis has created this cocktail and that's provoked people to ask what is being done with their money, so people are now paying close attention to the party's platforms. >> the party could yet prove to be a king maker as spain steps into politics in the 21st century. his anti austerity stance might make him a natural ally for the socialists. they might even overtake them in a number of seats in the parliament.
10:10 am
pedro sanchez is trying to revive the socialist fortunes to bring the party a new future and distant it from its part. for the spanish prime minister, it will be a very different political landscape he takes his dog for a walk through when the polls clothes. >> david, so a large turnout among the young generation of spain suggests then that those newcomers that you just told us about will be the main beneficiaries of that. >> martin, that's right. i'm standing here in the ad hoc headquarters of podemos. it's a party that is not two years old. they haven't got themselves organized, haven't got a central headquarters yet, even. this is what they're using. it shows you how new they were on the scene, how excited the younger generation is about having a new chance and a new chance to have a voice in spain's future, because if you look back over the last few
10:11 am
years, you'll see that the burden, the true heavy burden of austerity has fallen on the shoulders of the young. they've got a complaint. they want their own future, they want a living, they want to start changing spain into something of their vision, not the old vision, the vision of the two old parties, so it's very much a case of waiting to see how the parliamentary seats actually pan out. the only poll i've seen is one in andorra, which is allowed to publish polls and they say in their latest estimate that poe dame mows will have the second highest number of seats. i'm not going to back that poll. i don't know, nobody knows, this is a really close race.
10:12 am
spain is racking up reasonable growth rates. what sort of campaign did podemos go to the people with? what did they want for the new spain? >> well, it's interesting. the people's party and the mariano rahoy, the prime minister have been saying essentially what they've got is to more talk of bailouts for spain. spain is now one of the strongest growing economies in terms of g.d.p. throughout the e.u. it's got a stronger rate of growth than anyone else. he can point with pride to the economic achievements of his party, but podemos and indeed the socialists, it's quite hard to given shape them sometime apart from the freshness and
10:13 am
youth of podemos, they are saying they want to rescue some of the values that were lost during the years of austerity. they want to increase the lot of the working man and the woman here. they want to see wages accrue. they want to see the unemployment figures improved. that is a reasonable platform and something that everybody hopes for, of course, but as to the detail policy, we're not actually really hearing too much of that. it's more of an emotional vote for a fresh face and fresh faces on both sides of politics to actually break the old political establishment which has given no hope and a lot of austerity to the people, especially the young in spain. >> all right, for now, david, thank you very much. david chase is live there in madrid. we've got a lot more to come only al jazeera news hour. we need to make sure that the really discriminatory messages that trump is sending
10:14 am
around the world don't fall on resent i have ears. >> united against one rival, the democratic candidate dates for the presidency gang up on donald trump. we have no blanket, no clothes, new food, no water. we are humans. we are humans. >> thousands arrive in athens after turned away from the macedon anyone border. in sport, we'll tell you whether he will be staying or moving inn munich. turkey says it has killed 102 suspected members of the kurdistan workers party or the p.k.k. these separatist fighters were killed in a large scale military offensive in the countries's southeast. almost 10,000 turkish troops are in the province to flush out what the government calls

terrorists. there have been months of fighting between the turkish army and the p.k.k., which is demanding more autonomy for the kurds. in iraq, kurdish forces say they've killed more than 100 isil fighters. isil has been launching attacks from its stronghold in mosul in the north. there have been weeks of intense fighting between the armed group and turkish fighters known as the peshmerga. al jazeera has managed to obtain repair footage from the front lines. we have this report from erbil. you may find some of these pictures disturbing. >> these kurdish peshmerga soldiers have just repulsed an isil attack. the soldier can be heard, that is a dead suicide bomber. they say most isil fighters are foreigners and take drugs when they attack peshmerga positions. later, they drive a body on a military vehicle.
10:16 am
this, the fighters say, is the future of daish, as they call isil. this one goes this is our land and we will defeat isil. these are some of the most intense attacks faced by peshmerga in recent months. isil fighters have six front lines. the kurdish fighters say they have been able to defend their positions. isil knows about the trenches dug by the peshmerga and they come prepared with ladders to storm them. these weapons were left behind by the isil fighters who launched multiple attacks on the 60 long front line. soldiers say they have killed more than 100 fighters in less than a week. >> an officer told me that the number of suicide attacks used by isil show that it's
10:17 am
desperate, but the ferocity and frequency of the attacks have taken the peshmerga by surprise. they thought they pushed the group attack. >> the attacks are taking a toll on the peshmerga. two dozen fighters have been killed and 120 injured in the last few days. the continuing conflict is concerning human rights observers over the treatment of the dead and how kurd soldiers are treating captives. peshmerga fighters say after battle. they dispose of bodies in a humane manner and isil has never shown interest in any prisoner swap. as the fight intensifies, a main priority for these fighters is to keep isil at bay. al jazeera, erbil. syrian state t.v. says an israeli air strike which killed a former hezbollah commander was a terror attack. he was among nine who died on the outsites have damascus, he spent almost 30 years in jail for the murder of four israelis, including a 4-year-old girl. he was among prisoners released by israel seven years ago in

10:19 am
distancing themselves from comments made by the top republican presidential candidate, donald trump, who believes the solution to u.s. security problems is to ban muslims from entering the united states, comments third place candidate martin o'malley called. >> the fascist plea was billionaires with big mouths. >> we also need to make sure that the really discontinual in a story messages that trump is sending around the world don't fall on receptive ears. he is becoming isis' best recruiter. >> clinton said a plan to defeat isil includes a u.s. air campaign supported by limited ground troops leading to a change highlighting the difference between clinton and her top challenger. >> if the united states does not lead, there is not another leader. there is a vacuum and we have to lead if they're going to be successful. [ applause ] >> senator sanders. >> of course the united states must lead, but the united states is not the policeman of the
10:20 am
world, the united states must not be involved in perpetual wear fair in the middle east. >> the debate was not focused solely on national security but income insecurity, highlighting another difference between himself and the front runner. clinton accepted donations from corporate donors. sanders has not. he would rein in wall street banks if elected. >> hillary and i have a difference, the c.e.o.'s, multi-nationals like hillary. they don't like me and wall street is going to like me even less. >> there is little time to close in on hillary clinton's commanding lead. the nation's first presidential nominating contest will be held in less than two months. in the national polls, hillary clinton leads as much as 30 points ahead of her nearest competitor. al jazeera, manchester, new hampshire. colombia announced a deal to

10:22 am
this iraqi refugee says he had no choice. >> i would definitely die if i stayed in iraq. that's why i took the risk. i want to feel human. >> the syrian couple says their one and a half-year-old son has eye cancer. they want doctors in germany to treat him. i asked his mother if she was happy to be in europe. >> no. i'm not happy. i want syria. i want to return there. i won't forget it. >> most of these refugees will take different routes to germany and elsewhere in europe. many won't make it. >> greece is under tremendous pressure and overwhelmed by the sheer number of refugees arriving on its island every day. hundreds of thousands of people have been registered and allowed to continue their journey to the rest of europe but because other european countries have tightened or closed their borders, thousands of refugees are stuck here in athens and that is worrying the local authorities.
10:23 am
>> in many parts of athens, scenes like this are common. desperate people with no shelter, many with no money, either. moroccan men outside this temporary center are told by police they lack necessary papers to be allowed in. they returned from the border to the north. hungary has closed its borders and macedonia and other balkan countries have imposed restrictions on who can enter. only syrians and afghans are allowed in. the rest of seen as economic migrants. at another camp in athens allocated to families and youth desperately seek help. >> we sleep on the roads. >> these pakistanis are tired and hungry. >> this is no paradise. last night we sleep on the road. we have no blanket, no clothes,
10:24 am
no food, no water. we are humans. we are humans. >> the mayor of athens is worried the refugees are trapped with no means to live and work. >> i express my concern because we see so many people going here and there without an organized structure to receive and guide them. it's a problem that concerns first of all every city in greece, but at the same time, every country in europe. >> this is the biggest refugee crisis in europe since world war ii. there are no indications it will be over anytime soon. al jazeera, athens. >> coming up on this al jazeera news hour, find why oxford university is being urged a remove a statue of a 19t 19th century british colonialist. people who bank on this river for their livelihood are

"hard earned". sunday, 10:00 eastern. only on al jazeera america.
10:28 am
>> let's have a look at the top stories here at al jazeera. we struggled for three years, but now we've failed. >> the mother of the woman who was gang raped on a bus in india is denouncing the release of one of his killers. he was a juvenile in jail for only three years. voting is underway in spain in an election to could mark the end of a long time two party system. two newicallers, the anti austerity podemos and a second are expecting to end the two party system. an object found onboard an
10:29 am
air france flight to paris was not capable of causing on explosion. all 459 passengers and 18 crew were taken off the plane. let's return to our top story, that of the release of a young man convicted of the notorious rape and murder in india on a bus in deli in 2012. now the case sparked a real debate over india's juvenile crime law. according to the national crime records bureau, juvenile crimes rose 40 february% between 2010 and 2014. an amendment to the juvenile justice act is pending in the upper house of india's parliament and it's been pending for a year now. the amended law would try those between the ages of 16 and 18 and accuse serious crimes at duties. offenders between the age of seven and 18 are treated as justify night and would spared
10:30 am
harper punishment and the death sentence. india is also a signatory to the u.n. convention on child rights. that says that anybody who's under the age of 18 cannot be tried as an adult. we can talk to a lawyer at india's supreme court and a woman's right activists, she joins us live from deli. thank you for talking to us here at al jazeera. explain to us then why so many people seem to be so upset that this young man has now been released from having served his term under indian law. he is now being released. even though he is not free, people are still very angry. >> yes, people are angry, because they think that three years is too little time for him to have changed. also, they feel that a lot of people feel, rather, that young adults between 16 and 18 should be tried as adult criminals.
10:31 am
i think we have a balance the law. we need to increase the three years that is currently in the law and so the ports have really no option but to release a prisoner after that, or release a juvenile, i should have said, after that. there should be periodic assessment. >> there's new legislation pending as we've just heard in parliament. that legislation would introduce the notion of the severity of the crime as well as the age of the person on trial. >> yes. that's true. there is a legislation pending, but not necessarily everybody agrees with it, particularly
10:32 am
child rights activists, who feel that no, that legislation is too harsh, that severity should not matter, what should matter is whether a person can be reformed or not. we should strengthen our reform processes rather than just deal with all criminals who are underage as adult criminals, and put them in jail with all the rest of the hardened criminals and they think that that will not solve the purpose. >> indeed, so rehabilitation is a very important aspect, isn't it, too dealing with young people who have infringed the law. tell us, it seems very much as though there has been an explosion of juveniles committing crimes of one degree or another. >> yes, it's all very disturbing that the crime rate has gone up like this, but the overall crime
10:33 am
rate is apparently just 1.2%, the overall crime rate of crimes committed by juveniles. it is disturbing and what's more disturbing is that sometimes after the three years, when the juvenile comes out of the special home, he, again, commits a crime, so we have to take care of this. i think our homes are not the ideal places where, you know, rehabilitation and reclamation takes place. there have been indeed purported to be hell holes and the three year period is not spent how it should be spent, and anyway, it needs to be increased i think to as long as it takes to reform the particular juvenile. >> do you think that the younger that we're seeing on the streets of deli in particular, that that has got to do with this
10:34 am
particular crime of course which appalled the entire world? >> yes, it does, because of the manner she was so brutally raped and she was then murdered. the kind of crime that was committed did have a deep impact on the society of many young indians and older indians, and the whole law changed after that, the government was forced to take action, but now we need to implement the law, we need to plug in the loopholes in the law, for instance, increase the three year period. >> ok, thank you very much indeed for talking to us here at al jazeera. thank you. to china, where a gas pipeline has exploded after a landslide in the southern part of the country. 27 people are missing after dirt
10:35 am
and mud buried two dozen buildings. we have the story. >> the landslide buried more than a dozen buildings on the outskirts of the city. a blanket of mud and soil flooded roads and parts of the district. two workers' dormitories and an industrial park were also covered with dirt and mud. police say most workers and residents escaped to safety before the disaster. between 200 and 600 rescuers are said to be on the scene to help anyone trapped. the area has been a large construction zone for more than two years. soil that had been excavated and stored on the hill turned into mud after heavy rain causing the mudslide. al jazeera. >> a ferry went adrift, 39
10:36 am
survivors have been found and three bodies have been found. the ferry was carrying around 120 passengers. more now from jakarta. >> east of indonesia, rescue operations still undergoing to find survivors of the marina ferry. hundreds of people, relatives are waiting in the harbor to find any news of their relatives, if they have survived this accident. this accident happened saturday when the boat started to get into trouble in high waves up to three meters high ands engine broke down. the boat was drifting for a while and there was communication possible until saturday evening, but after that, all communication has been lost. some survivors have been found, but many more are still missing. environmentalists in southeast asia oppose plans to build 11 nams along the mekong
10:37 am
river, saying they are a threat to life on one of asia's longest water courses. the first being worked on is in laos. we have a report from neighboring cambodia, where the next dam is being built. >> it's known as the mother of water, and flows for almost 5,000 kilometers through six countries. the river is the largest inland fishery in the world and a vital source of food and income for the tens of millions who depend on it. in cambodia, over fishing i guess already making life difficult in some areas. >> i don't catch as much as i used to. there are fewer fish. before i might get 10 to 20 kilograms. i've been out since early this morning and i've only caught one. >> it could be about to get
10:38 am
worse. just a few kilometers up stream, one of two huge hydroelectric dams on the mainstream is being considered by the cambodian government, creating a 120-kilometer reservoir, blocking migration paths for some fish. for opponents, there is some hope that the government is taking notice of the potential impact. >> the government is cooperating with development partners to study different locations and new engineering to find how to minimize the effects before we make the decision. >> further norse, the lao government ignored calls for a mother fore come on damming the area and began building the dam five years ago. recent footage shows just how big this project is. lieu woes is planning a second one near cambodia.
10:39 am
>> we have need proper decisions over the future of the river. >> the proposed cambodian dams are close to the home of the dolphins. the dolphin population has been instead decline for years but the rate that fallen thanks to conservation work. it is thought the dams could undo that work. it is thought there are only 80 left and minor changes to an already fragile ecosystem could wipe them out. governments in the region argue that harnessing the energy of this great river and turning it into electricity is essential to help develop their economies. the alternative argument is that the price for that development is too high. wane hey, al jazeera, cambodia. a statue of 19th century imperialist cecil rose is at the
10:40 am
center of a racism campaign at university. thousands of students signed a petition for its removal and the college is mulling whether to take it down. a similar statue was removed from the university of cape town in south africa this year. a p.h.d. student ant organizing member of the group roads must fall in oxford joins us live from johannesburg. what offends you so much about the statue of cecil rhodes? >> what offends us is that in the 21st century there's an open reflection floorification of a person we consider a genocidal maniac. we think given the number of international students, it's no longer appropriate that such open flashification should be count nanned in an era we find
10:41 am
ourselves in. >> isn't the problem that taking down the statue itself doesn't remove him from history. he was and the attitudes that he exemplified were prevalent in his time. >> our aim is not to remove him from history. nobody is arguing that he should be removed from history books. in fact, we're trying to assure people know who he really was. what we would dispute is the notion that an open floorification that sigh learnses thousand of people's histories is a way of preserving histories. we think that is the preservation of fair tails and denial of the crucial history that isn't being told to people in britain. >> isn't what you're really complaining about are the attitudes that today of racism and prejudice that is carried out today, isn't that what the main problem is? >> absolutely, and our strategy is to use the statue as an
10:42 am
emblem to spark these kinds of conversations. okford only accepted 24 black british students to the university in 2015. it's curriculum is still dramatically euro centric. >> it also didn't admit an awful lot of working class white british students, as well, the problem with oxford is that it doesn't on the whole take students from state schools, and preferring those from the private schools. that's the main problem with oxford, isn't it? >> that's one of the problems and there are a number of problems, but i pointed that rhodes is emlet matic of this nexus of problems and we think instead of focusing on 100 different issues and not attracting the attention of the international media, but centering around one central icon, we've been able to have conversations in a more direct way and also spoken about iconographer. the way we remember our history and present history is a material fact, and the way that
10:43 am
okford does that says not a lot about their own history, but what they value and care about and we're here to change that. >> ok, i'd love to talk to you longer, but unfortunately we've run out of time. thanthank you very much indeed r talking to you guess here at al jazeera. celebrating christmas can put a financial strain on families and we're staying in south africa for this story. there are screams known as stockpiles taking away pressure on low income families. from soweto, here's tanya page. >> steaks and chops and barbecue are the flavor of the month in this happy home. these women have been putting money aside all year for this big christmas shop. outside the stockpile takes the financial be pressure off what can be a very costly time of the year. it's organized chaos, but
10:44 am
everyone's happy. >> we cannot afford, you understand, you still have to buy the kids clothes, you have to buy this and groceries an top of that. it's not going to work out. this way, we know that we've got something and it's helpful. >> he makes sure his stockpile customers get the correct order. most south african supermarkets and banks offer special services for stockpile members including discounts. they became popular during apartheid when black people were excluded from formal banking. some use them for weddings and funerals and they are big business. >> there are 420,000 stockpiles in south africa, one in five adults is a part of one, and they're worth about $1.7 billion to the economy. >> it's all available to us. as we are talking now, we are
10:45 am
looking at the stockpile which is well over $20,000 to one stockpile. we are doing stockpile every day, that's from now until the 27th of december. >> back at the house, the first pile of groceries is about to be taken home for these families and millions more like them. a stockpile savings means the cost of christmas will be a lot easier this year. al jazeera, south africa. still to come on this news hour, trying to clear the air, the new laws in the u.s. to keep drones and their owners in check. find out if memphis can ease the pressure on their embattled coach. we'll have all the details in sport.
