>> syria's government said it will attend talks but laid out clear continues about what it is willing to talk about. >> hello, i'm maryam nemazee. you're watching al jazeera live from london. also coming up. >> i know it's not-- >> chaotic themes as another donald trump rally threatens to erupt violence. beirut's rubbish problem, the government announces it will open two new land fills.

and computer 3, human 0, a landmark moment for artificial intelligence. >> syria's government said it will participant in talks to end the war that is set to begin on monday but will wait 24 hours for the opposition to turn up. they also ruled out any presidential elections. we have the latest from geneva. >> both main sides now say they're coming to geneva for the talks. the confirmation from the government coming from the deputy prime minister and foreign minister at a news conference in damascus. a role they said was not up for discussion. >> we are adamant on holding the

integrity of one state. the documents released including release and attempt to resolve the situation in syria. >> those comments have angered the opposition, the u.n. have always made it clear that there should be no pre-conditions for these talks. the u.n. special envoy said that they hope to get to substantive issues on day one. >> we can say that when we started talks in earnest the substantive talks on the 14th, then we have some appropriate tore meetings. if one is not enough and we need to push further. two, now we can concentrate on

realizing that. the political process. what is that? well, it is a new governance that is a very carefully chosen word in vienna to include something completely different in terms of what we're having at the moment. second a new constitution not the old approach, and three, u.n. supervision. >> so the stage is set for an important day on monday. the first day of thisound of talks and they're going to discuss the crunch issues, the future governance of syria. >> now among th them is a member of the coalition, and said that no one should get ahead of themselves. >> the geneva process is calling for a transition of power to a transition of governing body. now this transition of governing body is going to organize and arrange for a new constitution

and elections where we can establish a cease-fire and establish also the syrian people that can come back and civilization. it is premature to talk about elections. what we should talk about is a transitioning governing body that will be agreed upon in the negotiation. and this will organization elections. >> well, meanwhile on the ground, government forces have attacked the city. trying to advance son areas on opposition control in eastern guta. there are reports of violence between the army and syrian opposition in latakia. it's the observatory for human rights say that government plays have hit areas in hama province. this was posted on a social media website set to show the aftermath of those strikes. they say they've shot done a

government jet. the town of kilis on the turkey-syrian border, has been nominated for the nobel peace prize. there are more syrian refugees living there than there are actual residents. from kilis, laurence lee sent this report. >> on the hillsover looking the tuish border you can see refugee camps inside syria glimpsing in the sun. just a few kilometers to the north is kilis, a town that can show what can be done to help outside of syria if the will is there. the 95,000 who live here have been joined by 120,000 syrians. they have set up businesses and work with their hosts. just outside of the center these women were making firewood with their children. they've been here for four years.

not an easy life, but, said this woman, they've been welcomed. she said she had no intention of attempting the journey across turkey and into greece. that's likely because kilis has opened its front doors to the syrians. so kilis has been nominated for the nobel peace prize. they believe their efforts so deserving they've invited the european leader they admire the most, germany's angela merkel, to come and visit. turkey has been written off for leamed human rights violations and so on. but the contrast in the way turkey is managing the syrian refugee crisis and the chaos in the european union could not be any greater. frankly, it's hard to think of a single town or city that could be nominated for the nobel peace prize the way kilis has been. >> kilis today hosts more

syrians than it's own population. citizens of kilis share their city, their streets, and even their air with syrians. we believe the example of kilis should be recognized by the e.u. and all countries in the united nations. this is why kilis should be awarded the nobel peace prize. >> of course, in turkey there is huge resentment towards the refugees, but not in kilis. the human rights issues have a very odd ring here. al jazeera, kil kilis, southern turkey ♪ now another rally by republican presidential hopeful donald trump was disrupted briefly on saturday. less than 24 hours after an event in chicago had to be canceled. alan fisher has the latest now on an increasingly chaotic campaign. >> back on the campaign trail towards the event o event in

ohio, the republican frontrunner. it appears someone tried to get on stage. donald trump quickly surrounded by secret service. >> thank you for the warning. i was ready for him, but it is much, much easier. >> ts comes hours after at event in chicago was canceled. >> tonight's rally will be postponed. >> after hundreds of protesters got into the hall. as people began to file out several fights broke out. as police cleared the hall five people were arrested and two police injured. trump insists he does not need to change histone. >> in trump should tell his people to be nice. my people are nice, folks. >> but the rivals condemning the violence said that trump was not blamable. >> political discourse should occur in this country without violence, anger and rage and hatred directed at each other.

>> donald trump has created a toxic environment. and the toxic environment has allowed those who seek confront takes to come togethe in violence. there is no place for this. >> this comes after an event where a north carolinaen was punched in the face. the 7-year-old attacker who is now charged with assault, told tv" new edition" that he was not repentant. >> who is protesting, anybody? >> i would like to punch him in the face. >> i love the old days. you know what they used to do to guys like that when they were in a place like this? they would be carried out on a stretcher, folks. just knock the hell--i promise you, i will pay for the legal fees. i promise. >> trump's campaign manager is facing allegations of roughing

up an reporter, allegations they say are entirely false. for ordinary candidates in previous elections all of this would an problem. but donald trump is no ordinary candidate, and this is no ordinary election. >> well, alan joins us live from washington, d.c. so we heard, alan, donald trump trying to use all of this to his advantage, his opponents are trying to capitalize on it as well. what has been the reaction amongst the germ public to these problems surrounding trump's rallies? >> well, of course it's hard to make sweeping general indication. and you got to remember that some of the public are trump supporters and believe what is happening. some sort of assault by the establishment against don't trump. they believe that he carries on about issues that effect them. if you talk to voters who haven't decided if they're going to democrat or republican they might be upset by seeing

political discourse in the united states reduced to this sort of thing. certainly in campaigns 80-100 years ago, you would have seen something like this. in 1968 there were fights on the floor. and many thought that wag an era left behind in american politics. but here we're talking about possible violence against candidates. possible violence inspired by candidates, and we're seeing donald trump on the stage in ohio at the moment. this is his second event on saturday. and you can virtually guarantee given that he generates such big crowds that somewhere in that crowd there will be protesters who want to shout down his message and what he's saying to his supporters. >> given what we saw in chicago, you've got--trump--there is definitely controversy there, and some say he has caused some offense to different groups of people. as you say he also has his

supporters. are there fears that there could be further unrest? >> what we've seen from donachie trump is that there is no change in tone. he has doubled down in what he's say approximating there was no repent tense. maybe we've gone over board. we should dial this back. he was saying, look, i have problems at my rallies. but others have problems there as well. he was dismissive about the republicans saying they don't have problems simply because they don't attract the big crowds that he does. during that statement in ohio he did not suddenly say to his supporters saying you need to rein it in and you need to behave, and he'll be criticized for that, but donald trump is looking at the lead in the republican party nomination race. he's not going to change his message. he's not going to dial things back. he's going to continue doing what he's doing. and that has been very successful until this point. >> thank you very much. alan fisher live for us in washington, d.c.

>> well now moving to lebanon where the government has put forward a temporary solution to the eight-month-long rubbish problem. [ protesting ] >> protesters accuse corrupt politicians for being responsible for the piles of trash, which have accumulated across the country since a landfill closed in july. now they'll set up three new landfills to deal with the problem. we have more from beirut. >> the garbage began overflowing eight months ago when the landfill reached capacity. thousands of lebanese have taken to the streets of capital of beirut to express their anger at the government's failure to solve this crisis. eight months later there is no meaningful solution. the people here are saying not only do they want the garbage to be thrown out. they want the government to be thrown out, too.

>> they're asking what people want. >> we've been dealing with this garbage for eight months. i can't understood how much it can be disrespectful, and they don't care about our health. >> this protest has been largely peaceful. protesters gnash. you can see there is a heavy police presence here. we've seen police use tear gas and other methods to disperse the crowds, which resulted in a number of injuries. still they say they're determined to keep their protest going until there is a solution to this crisis. but as they've been telling us,

all they've received so far from their government is promises. >> there is more to come for you on the program. we meet teenagers from afghanistan who say their dreams for a better life in europe have turned into a nightmare. celebrations as yemeni government forces break in and end a year-long siege with the city.

>> the houthis hoped to expand their presence in yemen and con sal date their grip on power. the area is an important battleground for the shia rebels. these are houthi fighters trying to repeal a government offensive in the oil and gas-rich province. pro hadi fighters are trying to break down strongholds in the east and south so it can move north to capture the capital. if they can do that the houthis might lose the war. >> refugees stuck on the greek side of the macedonia border has staged another protest on the international trainline there.

the balkan route. >> they were trying to deport me because i did not have a passport so i left. i want to be in a place with no weapons where i am safe. i saved the money to pay smugglers. i also borrowed the money from my friends. now i'm sad to be stuck here in along the way he became friends with others, and together they would sneak across borders and pick up clothes left by other refugees and hoping to go undetected. they we lie on food left by compassionate people left along the trail. but some of their friends did not make it. >> there were two own teenagers with us. the smugglers wanted more money. they removed their money but they still didn't have enough. so they were kidnapped and taken away. i don't know where they are. >> the camp in macedonia is

the refugee policy and the policy of the coalition government here in germany is the wrong policy. >> well, they have come to the police cordoned to the other side of the area where there are supporters of the left wing trade unionists. here the attitude is very different. here people have pro refugee, pro the asylum policy, and i've spoken to a few people who say they're very concerned about the visit politically that german may be making. >> i believe that germany is undergoing political change because it is becoming more nationalistic. something i thought we had over come. it is directed at people from other countries.

i think this is really difficult. it is about time that we contain it again. >> the issue of how germany deals with the asylum seekers and refugees that it has encouraged to come to this country has become a dominant factor in politics in sufficient. we know how the voters feel about this situation in three key states after the elections to state parliaments on sunday. >> well, venezuela hundreds of opposition supporters have held a mass rally as part of a rene renewed effort his populatio popularity has fallen because of shortage of products and high food prices. the master of the complex game go has been defeated by a computer program. it sets a new standard in a.i.

>> the amazement of the commentators was obvious. the disbelief of the human champion lee se-dol clear. mr. lee is considered one of the greatest modern players and went into the series confident, but he did not win a single match against the alfa go program. even the alfa go creators were amazed by the result. >> to be honest we are a bit stunned lee se-dol put up an amazing fight. and he found some really amazing tactics to play in the territory and create a fight. >> go is an ancient chinese game for two players who take turns
