>> this is al jazeera america, i'm bisi onile-ere in new york. here are the top stories - spain's voters shake up the parliament. what that means for the country remains unclear peace talks between yemen's warring parties postponed in switzerland after a u.n.-backed ceasefire agreement is violated the release of a juvenile rapist sparks outrage in india,

and pharmaceutical companies are being criticized for raising drug prices too often and too fast we begin with spanish voters delivering a political shock wave, a strong showing by a pair of political parties is upending spanish politics, threatening to end the 2-party system. even though the ruling popular party won the most votes, it's not clear who will form the next government. barnaby phillips is in madrid. what are the latest results? >> well, the popular party, the center right, the conservative party, which had a majority in the old parliament, emerged with

123 seats, meaning the majority is reduced and cannot govern alone unless it's the head of a minority government. in other words, it's a messy result. new parties have emerged, taking a substantial proportion of votes and seats away from the old political establishment. and that means that spain is likely to face a prolonged period of uncertainty perhaps unstable, perhaps coalition party. >> as you mentioned there's four political parties in the running. the result means the 2-party system is out. what is driving the political shift? >> it's a number of things. you have to remember spain has been through a long political crisis. unemployment is high.

it has come down in the past year or so. it remains over 20%. it is devastating. it's close to 50%. in part it's a reaction against that. although there's a tentative economic recovery, many do not feel the benefit of that. perhaps also it's a general eightsal, i suppose -- generational, i suppose, tiredness and disgust with the old system, and in particular the number of corruption scandals that dogged the popular party and the socialist party. so a feeling that spanish politics needs a clean broom. the old political cast has been too cosy, for example, with the judiciary, there needs to be a reform at the provincial level. there's too many layers of government. a desire to sweep it away. particularly from the young

spanish people, explains why politics is going through something of a revolution now. >> it was unclear which direction the election would take. how long will it be before it's determined who will govern spain? >> well, the spanish constitution gives mariana the outgoing prime minister, the leader of the party some two months to try to form government. he is speaking this evening in madrid, and said that he will try to do that. it is difficult to see what sort of coalition he would build. it would necessarily comprise several parties with different agendas, and that would lead to instability. perhaps there could be a coalition that did not involve his party, but involved parties on the left. they, too, i said, would struggle a working majority in parliament. it's not impossible that some

time in early 2016, the people at spain will go back to the polls for a new election, we shouldn't rule it out. >> thank you barnaby phillips for your report. appreciate it belgium police detained one person in brussels in connection with last month's attacks in paris. the arrest was made after authorities searched a house in mohl am beak -- molenbeek, where the master mind lived. officials are determining how the person may be connected to the event leaving 130 dead a round of peace talks are planned for mid-january to end the war in yemen, the latest negotiations broke up this weekend without a deal. u.n. officials are approaching the new year. al jazeera emma hay ward reports.

lines in the area. the kurdish fighters say they are able to defend their positions. i.s.i.l. knows about the trenches dug by the peshmerga, and they are prepared with ladders to storm them. these weapons were left behind by the fighters, who launched multiple attacks from the 60km front line. soldiers say they have killed more than 100 i.s.i.l. fighters in less than a week. an officer told me the numbers of fighters shows that it is desperate. but the ferocity and frequency of attacks has taken the peshmerga by surprise. they thought they had pushed the group back. >> the attacks have taken a toll on peshmerga. more than two dozen fighters have been killed and injured in the past few days. the continuing conflict is concerning human rites observers, over the treatment of the dead and how captives are treated. after the battle. they disposed of bodies in a

humane manner, and i.s.i.l. never showed interest in a prisoner swap. the fight with i.s.i.l. intensifies, the main priority is to keep i.s.i.l. at bay coming up at 8:30 eastern, a look at the week ahead. u.n. member states will look for ways to implement a resolution passed on friday, promising to cut the offenses of i.s.i.l. >> more arrests in what indonesian police are calling a foiled terror plot. three are custody. police seized computers and bomb-making devices, a total of 7 suspects are in custody. they are believed to be members of the same al qaeda group behind the 2002 bombings of bali nightclubs. >> turning now to the republican race for the white house, and the new poll ahead of the iowa

hospital but his heart stopped this morning. the cause of death is unclear. coming up, outrage in india after a judge does not extend the symptoms of a juvenile convicted of a gang rape and death of a young woman search for survivors in china after a massive landslide collapses and buries buildings.

in india activists are protesting the release of a man who was convicted in a fatal gang rape in 2012. the prison are was a juvenile when he was sentenced to three years in a reform facility, after taking part in the assault aboard a moving bus. many were outraged at what they called a light sentence. now he's been released activists are questioning whether the man, and india's culture have been reformed. a al jazeera correspondent reports from india. >> this is the case of a young offender involved in a 2012 gang rape attack, raiding questions -- raising questions

about the juvenile justice system, what happens to young defenders. what is the roadmap, as well as the reintegration into society, a society that is angry and frustrated by issues of sexual violences. as we have heard from the experts and people we have been speaking to about the issue, that this is a long-running problem, and this case is once again drawing attention to the root causes of one of india's biggest issues saatchi is doing what many young women do, she's out and about enjoying her day off. with personal safety a big concern. saatchi says having fun is limited to day times. >> it's too difficult to go out without a family member or without friends. day time it's a bit save.

at night you can't hang out with your friends. there's no security. >> anger at the lack of safety with 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 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 under-reported. >> the attack three years ago provoked millions of indians to talk about sexual violence and safety. experts that followed and document the issues warned they have been india's secret shame. >> across the country rape is blamed on social and cultural norms, which encouraged men to assert power over women. there's a large patriarchal

mind-set that is in operation. and which has manifested itself in many ways, including sexual violence against women. >> dr midra studied sexual offenders for more than 20 years, and says a lack of accountability at all levels is a reason why sexual violence is so prevalent. >> the sense that i can get away with what i have done, the crime i have done, or my offense is something increasing in the minds of the average person, especially the offenders. they know about it. secondly, the criminal justice system is falling party. >> outside the market that saatchi is shopping in, a group of men hand over top police a man they accuse of assaulting women. safety in numbers provides little comfort to women here. they are counting on goodwill of

people around them, to ensure the fear of sexual 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 delhi women's commission. the commission a part of the delhi government said that it does not thing the offenders is ready to be reintegrated into society, they fear he is a security risk and may reoffend, and no psychological assessments have been done of his mental wellbeing and character. overarching the big issue that india is discussing and will be discussing is not about juvenile justice across the country, but why the crimes continue to take place, and what happens to create a lasting change across the country, something that many say has not happened three years on from one of the most gruesome cases that the country and the

world has seen joining us now from london is lesley, director of the documentary - india's daughter. thank you for joining us. >> my pleasure. >> there has been outrage over what happened. the indian government opposed the rapist's release, the high court refused to extend the sentence beyond three years. do you think it will lead to reforms in the justice system. >> it should lead to calls for more reforms. what is unreasonable is to expect an exception to be made in the case of this juvenile to the letter of the law. the law of india deems that a young man, a child is a child and, therefore termed a juvenile until he turns 18.

it seems that double standards exist because those rule do in the apply to a girl, because we have ubic wittes child -- ooubic wit us child marriage. as the mother of the victim in this gang rape and murder in delhi says in the documentary - if you can marry a girl at 12 or 13 why can you not punish a boy that committed a crime at a serious aid. >> it's a serious point. a man that is convicted of a heinous crime is free. because he was a juvenile his identity will be changed and no public record of his crime. is therized to support that -- their evidence to support that he has been reformed. >> only the juvenile correction center can tell us that.

i see no detail of attempts made to find out what his psychological state is. to what degree he's been reformed. if he hasn't been reformed. why the system has failed the juvenile, that is why he's put in a reform snucks, and not in incarcerated in a prison. the law says he must serve a maximum of three years. he has served that. if there were issues with the law. over the last three years that should have been looked at. >> i don't see the point of knee jerk reactions and petitions going into the supreme court when they knew for the past three years that he would serve three years. an important point i have to

make is i have met the juvenile. i spent not long talking to him. i met the person that drove the bus and told me every detail of what happened. the media from the oft have been sensationalist in saying that the juvenile was the worst monster at all. i did not find any of these men to be monsters, it would have been more comforting if i am. no, they are ordinary men, programmed by society to thing in a particular way of women, and to act in a particular way towards women. and they are encouraged as your report has said, to actually be

indignant and say "why us? everyone is at it." they are the product of a mind-set. i know for a fact that this juvenile was no less or more of a monster than any of the others on that bus. >> wit begs the question, sexual violence is rampant there in india. a rape is reported every 20 minutes. cultural culturally,what needs to be done to address the issue. >> i know what neath to be done. i have to make the point before a -- needs to be done. i have to make the point, it's not just in india, it's a result of patriarchy holding power for millennia. this is the result of gender inequality, violence against women that is common and ubiquitous the world over, there's not one country immune, and violence against women is a

symptom of the disease that is gender inequality, and until and unless we root out the cause, behave like surgeons, not like nurses dressing the wounds and reacting to the fall out after the damage has been done, the only way to change a mind-set and root out the cause is education. i don't mean access. if you recall, in the documentary the lawyers were more deep-rooted in their misonliony than the -- misogyny than the rapists themselves. i am talking about context of education. >> education is key. thank you so much for joining us, i appreciate your take on this issue. >> okay one of israel's top politicians abruptly resigned amid accusations of sexual harassment. the vice president stepped down

citing his family, earlier in the day israel's attorney-general instructed police to investigate claims of harassment from several women, he was a veteran member of the prime minister likud's party. his departure is not expected to effect the balance of power. still ahead - a frantic search for survivors after a land slide buries buildings in china. pharmaceutical companies put on the spot. we talk to an expert about what can be done to slow the rise of prescription drug prices.

syria, i want to return there. i won't forget it. >> reporter: most of the refugees will take different routes to germany and elsewhere. greece is under tremendous pressure, and is overwhelmed by the fms of refugees -- numbers of refugees arriving. hundreds of thousands have been arrested and allowed to continue to europe. other european countries tightened or closed their borders. thousands of refugees are stuck in athens. that is worrying the local authorities. in many parts of athens. scenes like this are mon. desperate people with shelter. moroccan men are told by police they lack the necessary papers to be allowed in. they return from the border to the north. hungry coast its borders and

restrictions are imposed on who can enter. at a refugee camp allocated to family a new group seeks help. the pakistanis are tired and hungry. >> it's not parr kys. >> last night we sleep on the road. there's no blanket, foot or water. we are humans, we are humans. >> reporter: the government is worried the refugees are trapped with no jobs and no means to work. >> we see 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's no indications that it will be over any time soon. >> voters in the balkan country of slovenia rejected a same sex marriage referred. >> over 63% voted against a bill that would have defined marriages as a union of two adults. parliament approved the marriage in march a controversial pharmaceutical company c.e.o. has been back in the spotlight. martin became notorious this year after raising the price of a life-saving drug from 1350 to 750 per pill. he resigned after being arrested on unrelated federal fraud charges. his price for gouging may be extreme, but the farmsput call industry is criticized for

raising prices higher than most can afford. mary snow has more. >> he's a c.e.o. so dispiffed he's been labelled the most hated man in america. martin's arrest had nothing to do with the drug-pricing controversy thrusting him into the spotlight. the 32-year-old is alleged to have used money from a b biopharmaceutical piggy bank to pay off clients. >> he ran his company like a ponzi scheme. he used the subsequent company to pay off defrauded investors from the prior company. >> reporter: martin shkreli pleaded not guilty and expect to be vindicated. the biotech company founded by martin shkreli in 2011 sued him in august, seeking $65 million, replacing martin shkreli more than a year ago. >> martin shkreli is more widely

known as the posta boy for agreed after rising the price from $13.50 to $750 a pill this summer. daraprin is used to treat h.i.v. and cancer patients with weak immune systems to fight a parasitic infection. after public pressure martin shkreli backed down saying he'd lower the cost. this month at a forkhealth care summit. he talked about second thoughts. not the kind you may think. >> i probably would have raised the price higher. that's what i probably would have done. >> why? >> i think health care prices are inlastic. i could have made it higher and made more profits. again, no one wants to say it, no one is proud of it. this is a capitalist society and system. and i'm expected to back the

profits, not to minimise them or go half or go to 100% of the profit curve that we are all taut in n.b.a. class. the company touring announced in november it would discount the price to some hospitals by up to 50%. doctors and advocates denounced the move saying the drug price was far too high. martin shkreli did not seem faced because of the scrutiny. he's been spending time live streaming the activities and bragged paying the $2 million for a rare album, daunting clinics by writing on twitter saying should one of my companies change their name. lawsuits be dammed. earlier he summed up his answers to critics this way:. >> try to be a c.e.o., see how it goes. try to maximise profits and not get kicked out of a company.

let me know how it goes for you for more on this, let's bring in dr sani. the president of the loun institute a health care reform advocacy group, joining us from new found, massachusetts tonight. thank you for joining us. >> it's our pleasure. >> martin shkreli is the face of corporate greed, because of the act of raising a price of a drug 4,000%. pharmaceuticals do that, rite. >> martin shkreli made the grievous sin of speaking the truth. he's an extreme version of what is business as usual. it's important to point out nothing he did was illegal. there's many decisions in the health care system not done in the public interest, and he

illustrated it with a stunning statement that he give. the newest probably cost many thousands. many have qud rupled and gone five times up in price even though they are supposed to come down. the nut drug for help tight us c is expensive. so a lot of the pricing is supported by a pattern system. pattern is supposed to reward innovation and reward system bringing value to patients. the system is seriously broken.

health care pricing in general is quite erational. there has been scrutiny. if we are going to be honest what is public interests and how to get pricing. >> martin shkreli faced scrit six. there's a -- criticism. there's a lot of publicity, a lot of bad publicity. is it worth it in the end. >> if there's no public penalty other than being a whipping boy. many stream prices will not have a penalty yip. the only way i think we'll see a mitigation is with more

bargaining power, and the public as a whole. we need a way of approving the drugs. certain an overview. >> he has suspended the price in the past saying the process has been suicide to develop drugs, and said this is a capitalist society, and capitalism rules. where does the truth lie? oath we have to play by the rules. it is more of a slogan than a

fact. if you look at the research poisoners published only about 1500 come from the pharmaceutical sector, some come from the health sector, many are from the public, and they have a clear interest. more importantly, when you review the drugs that are approved. out of hundreds of drugs approved. 75 are two products. and 25 are new compounds. only have have benefits. we have a system in which a lot of patterns are given for a lot of things that don't add value. >> in some countries they are regulated. can you see something like that happening here down the line?

>> i could. it's important to understand that up to a third of what we do in tests and treatments is not as effective as it should be. in that sense, it represents waste. there's a lot of other areas where the public has an interest. and, in fact, it's the chief cause of deductibles. it's a hefty tax on the middle class, trying to stay float. i think there has to be a new scrutiny on how to price many other things in health care, including drugs. and only a roused public will do that. our leaders, who want our votes owe us an answer. how do they intend to lead on the questions. >> holding lawmakers accountable. thank you. vk sanjay. thank you for your expertise. >> thank you a victory for drivers of ride hailing company, such as

uber and lift. the first city in the u.s. to allow drivers of the companies to unionize. allen schauffler has the story from seattle. >> reporter: at uber business is booming. 6 years into the ride-sharing mobile app business, the company says it has more than a million drivers behind the wheel in 250 cities in more than 50 countries, this person drives for uber and other services in seattle. >> i'm on a schedule. it's good in terms of the schedule flexibility. also, i like transporting people. >> drivers pick their own uber hours, and most own uber cars. they do not receive traditional work place benefits, because they are not employs. they are independent contractors, who get a predetermined cut of each fare. the company sets the rates. there's no precedent for contract workers to have collected bargain anning rights

and -- bargaining rights and those supporting the industry say it's time to challenge that. >> i want to give the drivers some leverage in negotiating whoever it is, so that they have some say in what their employment looks like it would be a first in the u.s. not just for drivers, but contract workers. employment law attorney steve says congress should take a look at how contract workers are defined and compensated that uber and its creditors created a model and may need updating. he needs a long fight ahead. >> federal law has pre-empted for more than 50 years. i do not believe that seattle's system will be upheld by the court system. it's not clear before how many drivers want to unionize and no one is forced to work for uber

or similar services. once backing input into how uber sets the rates, hires and fires workers. we lack how it work. what we are saying is just treat us. treat us fairly. >> allen schauffler. >> breaking news in tonight. public schools in "the new republic" will be closed tomorrow. local media reporting it was due to a threat of violence. we'll update the story still ahead. a closer looked at how cuba develops his list of athletes. kevin will join us with the weather. >> we are looking at snow coming in off the lakes. how long will it snow. in some places we have seen 6-12 inches of snow. will it stay around for

>> translation: they start eight or nine years old. the age at which they take everything in. when we spot the talent in the child. >> that potential talent is nurtured with training and privileged treatment at specialized school. in baseball and athletics and boxing. there's no hidden formulae, secret plan to the sporting success, it's here with a raw talent and hard work. hopes and dreams, national pride and coaching. all comes later. xavier dominates the high jump in the 1990s. his talent was identified when he was eight or nine years old. >> i liked sport, especially run, hurdles and triple jump, it's obligatory to do high jump. i like it the least. i wanted to leave the school when they told me to do high

jump. with the help of trainers and family we saw results proving. at 13 i was jumping 2 meters. >> reporter: he went on to bin olympic gold in barcelona in 1992. the following year he broke the record. 2 meters and 25 centimetres, or 8 feet and a quarter of an inch - a record that still stands, that all of cuba is proud of. can they keep producing world beaters? nearly all athletes retire and become qualified. they continue to study and getting qualified. we work on signs to achieve better results. that way talent and experience are kept in the game. boosting national pride and sporting position. sporting success always offered an escape from the grind of every day life. and as an added incentive, cuban

athletes retain a larger share of the prize money. the conditions for youngsters, allowing them to continue winning records randall pinkston is here with a look at what is coming up in the next pure. >> bisi onile-ere, a bittersweet story about a teenager known as a hero. when shots rang out, a 15-year-old jumped on the top of three girls to protect them. dobson, the only one not to survive and frantic rescue efforts in china after a landslide in a busy industrial district. a dozen are missing. and we examine the money behind i.s.i.l. - who is financing i.s.i.l. >> kevin corriveau is here with a look at the weather. >> this weekend we have seen some of the coolest air we have seen all month long and at the end of november.
