>> a rocket believed to be fired from syria hits a school in turkey. >> also coming up, rebels infiltrate a security system after attacks on pro government officials. an el niño weather system could leave millions hungry in southern africa. the u.k. parliament debates whether to ban donald trump from entering the country.

>> hello a rocket fired from syria has hit a school in turkey killing a female cleaner there. two others were injured including a school girl. throw rockets hit the town one of which fell into the schoolyard. the radar shows that they were fired by the islamic state in iraq and the levant from inside syria. the mayor said all schools in the town have been evacuated. andrew simmons has this update. >> this is the school reception. imagine the panic. they desperately tried to save the life of a staff member right here, but she died. there was also a female student. she was critically injured and taken to hospital where she's in serious condition. there was another injury, they were also taken to hospital.

it's unclear of their condition but it's not believed to be life threatening. look at the crater right here. this rocket came something like 17 to 20 kilometers. it came from isil, according to security sources, and two others also fired. they landed nearby in a field on soft ground. but this is a very ugly development in the whole vi crisis here. it's not been confirmed that this is an isil attack but every suggestion points in that direction. look at the damage here. every single window smashed. and when you look at the position of the isil potential attackers, this could be a response to the latest pressure from the turkish military who have been responding to up to

250 isil operatives were killed, and so could there be more attacks mere, it's unclear at this stage. >> isil fighters have captured more in the eastern areas. areas north of the city were taken on monday including an army base and an arms depo. there are advances that come after the country's government saying the group had killed 300 people in what is described as an appalling massacre of the city over the weekend. diplomatic talks to put an end to the war in syria are due next geek. but they've been unable to confirm whether they'll go ahead. we go to new yor new york to

james bays. do we know if these talks are going to happen? >> it's touch and go, and those who were supposed to be convening the talks this time next week have revealed that at this stage he's still not sent out the formal invitations. that's because they're worried about the opposition side, and whether opposition groups will attend. they're concerned about the talks. yes, they could go to geneva, but they know what happened two weeks ago and the syrian government did not engage properly, used delaying tactics and then collapsed the talks. they would like an assurance from the u.s. and it's allies that if it happens again they'll have a plan b. >> the talks two years ago broke down.

how have they organized the new talks so that can't happen again? >> well, sources tell me that they're going to do it a slightly different way. they'll get the two sides to geneva. but initially they're not going to put them in the same room. my understanding is that for the opening phase of the talks there will be just be proximity talks with two sides in separate rooms where they'll go between the two sides. i also understand that he's insisting on a small team of negotiators from each identify. we're told they also one other rule that i've heard that he's stipulating for the negotiations if they go ahead in the weeks' time. that is if you join one of the negotiating teams the government negotiating team or the opposition negotiating team. that will mean that you are not allowed to be part of any transitional government.

you will not get a position in a transitional government if they get that far as to form one. >> okay, james bays, thank you very much, indeed. for that live update from the united nations. >> airstrikes by saudi-led coalition fighting in yemen left 20 people dead. the police building in the rebel held capital of sanaa was hit and reports the civilians who are dead. the daily strikes since march by houthi rebels who seized large parts of yemen. yemen is beginning to look like a campaign targeting government security services. on sunday an official loyal to president abd rabbuh mansur hadi was killed by a roadside bomb. and a suicide car bomb attack at the police chief's home killed 11 people.

[ sirens ] >> aid someone the seat of yemen's internationally recognized government, but this has not brought security. a suicide-bomber exploded his car outside of the home of the regional security chief and the city's neighborhood. this attack on sunday came despite strictly enforced curfew that has been extended for another month. a spokesperson from the government said that supporters of the rebels have infiltrated the security services. meanwhile in sanaa saudi-led airstrikes lead to the failing infrastructure. >> it undermines insecurity, causes instability and shakes the domestic front. the more violent the airstrikes get the tighter the domestic front will be. >> according to the united stateunited nations, the airstrikes have killed 6,000

people since july. half of those are said to be civilians. a prominent local journalist was also killed in a saudi-led airstrikes on sunday. a reporter for several western and international news outlets died while in sanaa. >> iran has denounced new u.s. sanctions on its missile program which were announced a day after the iran nuclear deal came into effect. the head of the atomic watchdog has arrived in tehran wit for talks with president hasan rahman any. they're expected to discuss the monitoring and verifying of tehran's nuclear program. the opec group predicted the price of crude oil will make a recovery. at its peak a barrel of oil would cost $147.

by late 2014 it dropped to just over $80 but still had much further to fall. it would drop to $28 before rebounding to $31. it is at those levels because the market is oversupplied. there is fear to be mor fear because of the lifting of sanctions of iran that it will increase production per day. they are is concern about china's economy. >> consumers around the world will benefit, and oil-importing countries like india is growing strongly, it's really benefited from low energy prices. the danger though is if low prices now are going to be followed by much higher and volatile prices over the next couple of years. that's not really helpful for consumers or producers. i think the strategy is working

but it's bringing a lot of pain with it in terms of the revenue for all the opec members even the best funded saudi arabia are suffering from much lower income. but we're seeing a big reduction in investment in parts of the world fo, which means higher prices are to come. >> a debate that presidential candidate donald trump to be banned from the u.k. they say trump, who wants to replace president obama as president is not welcome because of his controversial call to ban muslims from the u.s. >> love him or loathe him, donald trump can't stay out of the headlines. but some people in britain are now saying that he should stay out of their country because of comments like this.

>> connecticut is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on. >> more than half a million people have signed an online petition urging the government to ban him from the u.k. and now there is debate of the proposal. the woman behind the petition said that donald trump is no different from others who have been barred from britain on the grounds of hate speech. >> they should do it. there have been cases in the united states where his hate speech has led to actual violence. >> susan kelly's long campaigned against trump's efforts to develop luxury golf courses here in scotland. he has spent large amounts of money on this site against the wishes of many local residents. >> mr. trump has had his

planning consensus for this golf resort. there is no golf resort. there is a golf course and a clubhouse. you would have to be gullible to accept his claims now. >> trump has had his status as business ambassador for scotland and honorary question taken away. but his recent comments have raised eyebrows in the capital, which prides itself on its diversity. >> there are places in london that are so radicalized that the police are afraid for their own lives. >> that claim is ridiculed by london's metropolitan police and the city's mayor. but while many people do find donald trump's comments offensive, not everyone agrees that he should be banned from entering the country. >> i don't think we can essentially ban him at the moment. but i really don't like what he stands for at all. you have no right to talk about

banning donald trump from coming to england. the reason being america and england has always had a good relationship. now if you start that you'll break off that wonderful relationship that they had before. >> the u.k. government describe trumps' remarks relating to muslims as decisive, unhelpful, and wrong but have hinted it's not enough to call him persona non grata. >> ahead of al jazeera, extreme inequality, the 62 richest people now own as much as half the world put together. also nepal constitution dispute. can they find a way to stop unrest, protests and deaths? the only way to get better is to challenge yourself,

>> the only live national news show at 11:00 eastern. >> we start with breaking news.

>> let's take a closer look. >> a reminder of the top stories. a rocket has hit a school killing a female cleaner there and injuring three others. they say isil is responsible. 20 people have been killed after airstrikes by the saudi-led coalition hit a police building in the rebel-held capital of sanaa. civilians are believed to be among the dead. and the oil cartel opec said that the price of crude oil will make a recovery 37 the current low prices will force some countries out of production. the small number of the

world's population own much of the wealth. a net worth of $79 billion bill gates has the same amount of wealth i of 42 countries. the head of research said that the culture of wealth and inequality needs to be reversed. >> it makes no economic or moral sense to have so much wealth concentrated in the hands of so few at a time when we really need to cite the battle against extreme poverty. we really need to reverse this trend where actually the most of the proceeds of growth, and most of the accumulation of wealth is going straight to the richest people. we need to make sure that work pays. we need to see better salaries.

better wages and more secure employment. we also need to make sure that everyone gets the opportunity to participate fairly in society, and to do that they need decent education and healthcare. so public services are really critical. but in addition we need to make sure that people are paying their taxes and paying the taxes that they are due to pay. and that the loopholes that exist that allow individuals and companies to avoid paying their taxes are closed for good. >> burkina faso and mali will counter the security threat in the region. 28 people, including a nine-year-old boy, were killed in pur burkina faso's capital. the prime minister said the threat is transnational. >> there is a strong political

will on the part of the two states to combine our efforts to fight terrorism that has become a transnational phenomenon effecting both of our countries. we'll intensified efforts of information sharing, joint patrols and many other fields. >> we are at the splendid hotel where vehicles are lined outside of the hotel. the hotel was largely destroyed, and investigators from france, the united states and burkina faso are still combing the debris looking for any leads they can find. moments earlier the president of burkina faso, who was accompanied by the president here, they were shown the burned vehicles and the area where the attack first began. now the president is the second

west african leader to visit burkina faso to show solidarity, but the underlying reason for the visit is the realization that islamic state in iraq and the levant is no longer confined to mali alone and it is carrying out attacks in mali and it's neighboring countries, and the need to jointr jointly counter al-qaeda. the militaries of mali and burkina faso are heavily challenged. >> the u.n.'s world food program has warned 14 million people are facing hunger in southern a because of drought. 2015 was south africa's dryest year since records began. and the wfp said that the worst affected country is malawi are 16% of the population are expected to go hungry. in madagascar 1.9 million people are at risk.

i david orr, spokesman for the world food program joins us. can you tell us more about specifically malawi which appears to be the one you're most worried about, and what kind of factors make it worse there? >> malawi has been particularly badly hit. they had very bad flooding at the beginning of last year which affected 1 million people. following all this was the drought, which as you say has caused nearly 3 million people to be affected by food insecurity. we're talking mostly about subsistence farmers very vulnerable people working very small plots of land. they depend on what they grow for their own food to keep their families going. and the combination of these things has really hit malawi

very badly. >> does anyone show pictures of the large scale farming, the opposite end of the spectrum that you're talking about there, but they've had a very bad crop record this year, and presumably that affects the supplies to the region, doesn't it? >> well, the situation we've got in the region as a whole, as i say, mainly as a result of the drought effecting last year's harvest. on the back of that we now have continued drought produced by the he will meanio weather phenomenon, which basically means reduced rainfall for this season. that, unfortunately, coincides exactly with the planting season. in this region. so we expect that the numbers could increase substantially later this year, and, indeed, into next year. >> what kind of things are the world food program able to do?

they're complaining of lack of funding. we're having problems to get funding into any of these kinds of crises as well? >> absolutely. all our programs are seasonal assistance programs in this region. facing huge funding challenges. in the countries you mentioned you have so-called relief programs for the most vulnerab vulnerable. either food assistance or where conditions allow cash based assistance. for these mainly farmers whose food stocks at this stage of the lean season are pretty well depleted. so they are very much dependent on some kind of assistance. but otherwise beyond that we're also working with governments and other partners to provide technical assistance so that they are preparedness measures,

their response plans are--are as effective as they can be under the conditions. >> i mean, obviously the warning is coming in at this point in the past people have talked about the warning has come in too late. do you think you have enough of a window to get help in quickly enough to make a difference? >> well, absolutely. i meantime is really of the essence, and that's why it's so vital really for us to act now. this is a situation that is only going to get worse over coming months. we're really in a position now where the planting season is closing. it's already closed for some staple crops cereals in the south of the region. it will come in increasingly difficult. i was in zambia last week where i met farmers who basically their crops were wilting in the

heat. some have not been able to plant because of the lack of rain. so that is not one 69 worst-affected countries. we won't know for some time. they are going through the assessments and so on, but it is certainly a very worrisome situation at moment. >> thank you very much, indeed. >> five soldiers have been killed in a training exercise in the french apps. they died in an avalanche. they were among a group of 50 soldiers skiing in the area when the avalanche struck on monday. thearlier two students were killed and another ukrainian skier was killed in that incident. a man has been arrested in attacks in paris which killed 130 people in november. mormoroccan authorities say that the suspect is linked to

those who carried out the shooting and terror attacks. he traveled to syria and fought with al nusra front before joining isil. police made arrests in cologne, germany. a man was ratherred at a refugee home over the weekend. he's accused of groping a woman and stealing her mo mobile phone. hundreds have come forward saying they were sexually attacked over new year's avenue. [ sobbing ] >> people in the village of nepal's southern plains are used to the sound of grief coming out of the house. in september her teenage son was

shot by security forces. locals hearsay that the whole village has been grieving. >> it's unfortunate tha this is such a sad time. >> a youth leader visiting families of those who died during the protest. he said their deaths is a reminder of what is at stake. >> there is over a dozen people who have come to me and asked me to take this and that, but i tell them that i don't need anything. my son died a brutal death. i want his dream of equality realized. >> the first to call a protest here back in july. across the district people of the southern plains have been demanding better representation under the new constitution. they have strong links to residents on the other side of the indian border.

they say they have long been discriminated against by the nepali state. >> more than 50 people have died in the protest since august. most of them young men. they are acutely aware that they're paying the price of the price failures of their own leadership. this time they want to hold them accountable. >> a businessman in the youth organization that he's associated with is a nonpartisan group that has its roots in community development. despite not trusting their political leaders, they say they have to rely on them to negotiate. >> this is entirely a political issue, that's why political parties have to negotiate with the government. that's why we have to help them. we've been warning them not to lose track. the public sentiment is strong here and this time agreements won't be enough. we expect implementation. >> observers say that it's the youth who are responsible for the longevity of the movement.

>> most all politicians, people had lost trust in them. but they find these young boys and girls who can speak their language to them, but can converse in english with all international community. they also see that these people are sacrificing their prospects, so they have inspired their country's leaders. because of that participation is broad based. >> the youth here hope there is a common understanding soon, but they are also calling on their leaders to continue their fight. al jazeera, southern nepal. >> and a quite reminder of the story we've been following this hour, the in u.k. the mps are

debating the call to ban donald trump from the u.k. >> what i would say, around what i would say to donald trump would like me banned from america. i wouldn't get my visa. but you know what, in. >> but lawmakers are debate building to ban donald trump from the u.k. >> the race is very close. >> the president hopefuls in the united states focusing on the issues as the clock ticks closer to the caucuses in iowa. and a less
