thank. you i got that i like. the death toll is in the dozens and still mounting up for a series of explosions in mogadishu.

come on peter w. watching al-jazeera life my headquarters here in the heart also coming up some myself fights as lieve rocca as possible deal but others about to fight song as the battle for the syrian city enters its final stages. ranges children are going missing in refugee camps in bangladesh we meet the man reuniting them with their families plus. i'm jake wood in california in a moment i'll explain why the government is looking at smacking something my size into something that size to save the earth. at least ninety people have been killed in two bomb attacks in the somali capital mogadishu the first explosion was a powerful truck bomb that target an area with many government offices hotels and restaurants because the biggest loss of life from one single explosion in the

history of somalia column alone with the latest. yes the. bodies are still being brought out of the rubble of one of the worst attacks in mogadishu in recent times the number of them a truck bomb went off at a busy junction when hundreds of people were nearby president mohammed up to lucky mohammed has visited the scene the sheer force of this blast is clear by the effect on the buildings around him and you know that. the target of these terrorist is not government officials but civilians as you see here there are no government buildings only civilians who are going about their daily life we have to come together and fight these monsters until we eradicate them from our country. a large number of people are suffering from life threatening injuries and a boost in blood supplies is needed to help them a second blast hit another part of the city two hours after the first early on

saturday. but it was the truck bomb that caused most of the fatalities people were still digging through the rubble on sunday it's not yet clear who carried out the attack the government's blaming al-shabaab for the bombing but the armed group is denying it was behind it carol i'm alone al jazeera peter de clercq is the deputy special representative for the u.n. secretary general for somalia he says violence there should not overshadow the progress the government is making in various areas of development. this is why we are in somalia if we didn't accept the risk we wouldn't wouldn't be there but i must say that great strides have been made in a very positive direction not just on the security side but also very much on the humanitarian and reconstruction side as well we do of course protect ourselves but as i said we do we are very well aware that we do run certain risks being that we have to see the big picture if we focus just on these terrible events we will lose

the positive that's happening in somalia as well and we have just managed to be very close to vertica family very close to doing that of course the situation is still very serious on the humanitarian side but nevertheless a lot of very good things are happening in the health situation is improving on sanitation we've also made great strides and is still trying to work very much on the prudent of the food situation as well at the same time we working with the government on a reconstruction plan that will build on this drought response and it will allow us to invest the digging the productive sectors in the country and move forward to make sure that drought will never turn into a famine again investing in the development of this country is the best investment we can make in security at the end of the day if young people see a future of their country see their contribution as part of also an economical effort not just security of it i think that is the way to go and that's very much the direction we're staring into and as i said the humanitarian response has been

a good example of us being more and more successful in that respect and we do want to also really start investing in the productive sectors now in this country young people need to see a future they need to see opportunities in terms of livelihoods that that that will give them a decent life they also need to see that the government's a difference in their lives and we are seeing more and more efforts in the country in that direction the government is taking more responsibility is more accountable to its populations not just at the central level but also at the decentralize. levels so people need to see the difference when an area changes hands from else about into a government area people who need to see that difference and this is what we're here towards we need to stay the distance so money will not be fixed in one or two years this is a ten to fifteen year project that we have to take on collectively but not doing so give us an eighty percent chance that everything will fall back so we only have a way forward i suppose to be on the verge of being pushed out of its

self-proclaimed capital in syria u.s. backed syrian forces say almost all civilians and about two hundred seventy five eisel fighters of left graca under a deal that was brokered by tribal leaders on saturday between two and three hundred mostly foreign fighters are still inside the city hashem is following developments from and tuck here on the turkey syria border fighting is confined to seven areas in iraq which are being the dow shelled by fighters there was a time to convince the i think fighters to leave iraq exchanged for free passes that didn't work for different reasons percival the fighters decided to continue the fight tell the other then the international community particularly americans distance themselves from the do you think that they want to allow those fighters to be given a chance to live a very surface in different parts of the country this is quite a delicate moment but it seems that now i see it has very few choices and most of

its fighters are moving regrouping and putting the worst places like a book about on the border with iraq austrians are voting in a snap election that could see the far right freedom party enter government as part of the coalition opinion polls suggest the leader of that government is likely to be the thirty one year old sebastian courts of the conservative people's party if he does become chancellor he'll be the world's youngest leader. earlier the incumbent christian current of the social democrats cast his vote current took over the party leadership and the chancellorship from his unpopular predecessor his party is expected to lose seats david chase has more now from vienna. analysts are saying that austria is facing the most important political crossroads in decades and it looks like the electorate is going to choose a sharp turn to the right the whole of this debate running up to the election has coagulated around the illegal migration story and the islamization of

austria and this debate has been more or less shaped just by those issues and that means that the the young chancellor in waiting who is the top of the polls of the moment will have to form a coalition with the hard right freedom party and that means that in the end they'll be a lot of policies coming out of vienna which will be hardly comfortable for the muslim population here and also for angela merkel and the new french president emmanuel macro they were hoping to reinvigorate reform refinance the whole of the european union but instead their new neighbor to the east will actually find that they create a new hurdle to all these efforts to reform the european union and they will be joining very much the visit grad group which includes a poland and hungary the troublesome twins for the european union.

fleeing violence in me and more was beginning since then more than five hundred thousand people have arrived in bangladesh. i'm. come all himself or hinder refugee who's lived here for years noticed that more and more families were getting separated in overcrowded camps so he set up a lost and found booth from behind this microphone at the could to prolong camp he makes announcements about unaccompanied children that have been brought to him as well as individuals who have been reported missing by their relatives he says that there have been more than fourteen hundred people reported missing and estimates that more than seven hundred families have so far been reunited and. i have family too i have kids too if i lost my own kids then i would feel very bad so until i'm able to give the lost children back to their parents i remain distressed when i can return children to their parents then i feel a pace kemal knows the chances of children being found increases when people can

continue to communicate with each other that's why he's also set up a charging station where refugees can charge their mobile phones for free come out had been working as a security guard for an aid organization when he first got the idea for this initiative to use the money from his own savings to rent a microphone and start calling out the names of the missing and the lost now he's doing this full time. normal how mad was frantic when he couldn't find his two and a half year old son. people told me that i should go to the booth with a microphone where a person named kemal will announce my baby's name i searched all over for my son and still couldn't find him when i was about half of the way to the booth i heard that they were announcing that they had found a child then when i arrived i found my son with kemal now reunited with his son mohammad tells us he's not just relieved but also extremely grateful to come out but for every happy parent we find there is a distraught one. my son has been missing since last night i search for him

yesterday all day and night as she waits for news alongside her other son mohammed aziz al more reaches desperation only deepens cum all is all too familiar with this kind of suffering it's why he sits in this booth despite the heat it's why he works from early in the morning until late at night. finding children helping adults making a difference one name at a time. that they could to prolong camp in cox's bazar bangladesh lost more still to come on al-jazeera including how families desperate for food are being enticed to help them as well as government of the ballot box we live in caracas. and while the people of venice really don't like you if you're a tourist and they want their city back.

we have a typhoon making its way towards high nanau as it pushed across the fost out of china it did bring some very very wet weather as you can see been taping down winds not too bad at this stage but those winds really have picked up now and we are looking at damaging winds making their way towards the gulf of tonkin as we go on through the next couple of days or so so there we go sustained winds around one hundred sixty five that is the position of typhoon and it will continue to make its way further west with dive down as we go on into the next twenty four to thirty six hours the equivalent to a category two hurricane on the south the simpsons dallas one moving fairly quickly that around thirty one clematis the flooding rains they will make their way in across vietnam then central and northern parts of vietnam as because through monday the winds then starting to ease off but still a wet and windy feature this one over the next twenty four to thirty six hours and

al-jazeera. welcome back here with his ear i'm pieces over here and your headlines today the death toll from saturday's attack in somalia continues to rise at least ninety people confirmed dead after two bombings in the capital mogadishu and over two hundred people were injured islip is to be on the verge of being pushed out of its self-proclaimed capital in syria u.s. backed syrian forces say almost all civilians and about two hundred seventy five beisel fighters have left rocka under a deal that was brokered by tribal leaders on saturday. all strands of voting in a snap election that could see the far right freedom party into government as part

of a coalition of opinion polls have suggested that the leader of that government is like to be this man thirty one year old so fast in courts of the conservative party. venezuela's opposition is projected to win a majority of governorships in sunday's regional elections polls opened two hours ago now but voter apathy a confusing ballots and a last minute decision to relocate more than two hundred voting centers could affect the turnout to reason is live for us in the capital caracas to raise a. well people have been coming near to vote for the past four hours we've been told the turnout is pretty low compared to previous elections where there were known lines of people waiting to have their. vision is already denouncing that polling stations around the country have not opened one of the voting machine been broken and that many people. will be mounting up the dollar menu doing everything possible.

for the government. going on no major. coming in. late and international law. and order broken in the country. government boxes of subsidized food are being distributed among the more than one hundred sixty families living in this abandoned building. this is where we write people's names this woman got two boxes another only one we don't want to get confused we're all struggling here this sunday i have to go and vote. we were told voting is an obligation here if they want to continue receiving government help but many are frustrated even

though the government has built millions of houses around the country those living here have been waiting for years for their return to live in a better place. and has been here for four years she lives with her husband and two children in this small room and says feeding her family is a struggle every day. sometimes my children tell me i'm hungry i'm hungry i don't know what to do i get desperate because i don't have anything. and that's why this boxes have become crucial in venezuela these days they cost fifty cents every month the people living here receive this boxes from the government they're known as flaps inside you can find some sugar some faster something two bottles of oil milk among other things this is supposed to last for a month but people tell us that it only lasts eight days if you look around and

this is the only food available in this household. the economic situation in venezuela will play a big role in sunday's results as people are struggling around the country rampant inflation shortages of staple foods and basic medicines have dented the government's popularity. venezuela is going through a deep crisis we think that if the opposition had warning twenty fifteen the situation had got worse in the following years then we believe the opposition vote would probably be increased even more the government is doing everything possible to win here because it's located in the state of media and there that has been traditionally controlled by the opposition. but even though those present here told us they will be voting on sunday it is not clear whether the government has done enough to win there. the kenyan opposition leader rhino dingo is expected to speak at a rally in mombasa today it would be the first time he has appeared in public since

withdrawing from a planned presidential election rerun there is anger increasing uncertainty about the poll planned for later this month there have been days of violent protests despite a government ban two demonstrators were killed during fighting with the police on friday for me the miller is in mombasa for us this hour for me to what are we expecting his central message to be. well looking at some of what raila odinga said impostors we expected him to say very much the same that no reforms the will be no election he's looking for reforms from the independent electoral are bound his commission around how it will conduct these elections if you remember back to the supreme court ruling off to the oldest eight elections it had ruled that that the elections they've been irregularities in how the vote count the vote had been counted and this is of course is off to raila odinga and the national support alliance had made claims of vote rigging at that

time but now he's withdrawn from this rerun that the supreme court has scheduled a while rather the i.v.c. also is scheduled for october twenty sixth and that's just in ten days time his supporters here are happy with his withdrawal and they're also looking for support around upcoming protests the the opposition says it will continue with protests in the days leading up to the election in the week after next and people here appear ready to heed that call and this is why the opposition is saying it can't be discounted to go to these forty four percent of the votes in all ghosts and those thousands who have turned out are ready to do exactly as raila odinga says. how can they stage the rerun if there's only one person on the ballot paper. well the kenyan parliament has just forced amendments to the electoral law that would allow incumbent president uhuru kenyatta to be named the winner of any

upcoming election after the other candidate is withdrawn and now that's the case of raila odinga but there's no certainty or clarity on whether or not these amendments which still have to be signed into law by the president if indeed they will apply to the upcoming rerun the the political atmosphere here is particularly concerning because there is some tension we are seeing ongoing protests there are more to come people here are promising that if raila odinga doesn't participate they won't be an election but the electoral commission he says it will go on the twenty sixth of october it says it's prepared it's retraining us some of its officials it's trying to look at some of the mistakes made previously to ensure these don't happen again but the opposition is saying this isn't enough and it doesn't feel that will be a free and credible elections while president to work in yard to says he's ready for the election for me to thanks very much. south korea's government north korea

to resume talks over its nuclear program at a summit in moscow politicians from both countries are attending a congress for parliamentarians in russia one delegate from north korea says conditions for talks haven't been met because of the u.s. pressure and south korea's military exercises. earlier this month an asteroid the size of a house passed close to earth there are about seventeen thousand known objects that make passes close to our planet but the path of many more are known and scientists are working out a way to push those dangerous rocks away history water. space is not empty it's full of objects most of the ones that smack into earth are tiny and they burn up in our atmosphere but even small asteroids that get through have had devastating effects you may remember there was an impact over siberia three or four years ago that was caused by something that was only twenty meters in size or

so in fact a private foundation is begin raising money to build a satellite the sentinel that can track smaller so called city killer asteroids these hit the earth about every hundred to two hundred years. so flip a coin that's the odds that somewhere on earth during your lifetime it's going to happen again nasa even has a department called planetary defense no really that's its name and the agency tracks asteroids larger than a kilometer across those big enough to end human civilization now the agency has greenlit the next phase of the dart project which will try to push a nearby asteroid called did a most be off course the asteroid they were talking about is about the same size as the ship you see behind me just shy of two hundred meters long and i am roughly the same size as the projectile they're going to smack into it now in this context that seems ridiculous right i mean for me to just kick as hard as i can is going to have

no effect at all on this ship but in the vast openness of space and the slippery in this of a vacuum smacking me into that at something like three times the speed of a bullet well you get the effect you want basically it would be using a spacecraft to ram the incoming object and change its orbit so it would not hit. so this would be kind of a dress rehearsal for a first show we hope never to stage the test will take place in twenty twenty two here's hoping we won't need to knock anything off course in the mean time take aboard al-jazeera san francisco the presidents of castle loney of the spanish region has less than twenty four hours to say whether or not he will to clip full independence following the secession referendum if he says yes spain's prime minister may take the unprecedented step of removing the region's political autonomy sonia geico now reports from barcelona. facing up to the

biggest challenge of his political career all eyes are on catalunya as president cutlass prejudgment the man who could be about to declare europe's newest state here remembering the life of the last man who declared an independent cattle and republic. in one thousand nine hundred forty this was with former castle and president louis combines was executed by firing squad for a belling against the military rule of general francisco franco with only hours to go until just a creature god except for defies the order for the dread to end his drive for secession he gave no clue as to his intention. on behalf of the government and myself i want to reiterate our commitment to civility. and also democracy as the inspiration for the decisions we have to make. on the eve of the day when mr

preacher one is expected to confirm or deny his declaration of independence his presence here at memorial ceremony for a hero of catalan independence is not going unnoticed and many here are drawing parallels with that situation. there has been much emotion stoked here in the past few weeks but the attempt to frame this as a story of oppression of a wealthy region by the central government is not convincing the european union despite the violent crackdown by madrid on any attempt to push ahead with self-determination. and. army and that the. peaceful. position never use the balance to defend our arguments. the catalonia of today is different from the embattled place it was during the

spanish civil war. but there's gabaa tear the specter of past heroes of the cause is never far away even if catalonia is pro independence politicians step back is no guarantee that they won't pay the price for their part in spain's current constitutional crisis. al-jazeera barcelona. is well known the ancient city of venice is sinking but it is also shrinking its fifty four thousand citizens a steadily leaving complaining the city has been overrun by tourists and chandra. venice the timeless city that tourists seem to have little time for twenty million visit each year three quarters of them only stay for twenty four hours they follow the same routes see the same sights the impact is devastating fed up residents and leaving for ever one thousand each year for them house prices are astronomically high the crowds unbearable italian city no longer caters for them they say here you
