12:00 am
where. ceasefires didn't provinces just got basically bulldozed and taken back over by the syrian government. well it live is different because first of all russia and turkey they are the stakeholders in syria they hold the cards and syria at the end of the day the syrian government cannot launch an offensive an adlib without the support of russian airpower so it was these two countries they are calling the shots and right now they have a lot of common interests with each other because if russia launched this attack or allowed the syrian government to launch this attack it would have lost turkish support and it needs turkish support in order to forge some sort of a peace deal and it's not just that i mean look you know bloodshed would not work in russia's favor at a time when it is trying to convince the international community that the war has been won we need to move forward the assad government is in power we just need to legitimize the government so they had a lot of common interests and this is why they reached this deal but just yesterday
12:01 am
we've had the first civilian casualties since that deal came into force seven civilians killed in syrian regime artillery shelling targeting a town in the south of it was this a message definitely not just from the syrian government who stands behind the government that's the russian government so is the russian government sending this message look what can happen if we don't reach an agreement here and we have to ask ourselves who is not here the united states is not here iran is not here but we understand that the french president is trying to arrange some sort of a meeting later this year between the russians and the americans because without the americans on board as well we're not going to reach some sort of a comprehensive settlement ok thanks i will talk to you again later when we hear from the leaders of those four countries a live look now at that stage and all the flags of russia turkey france and germany are there we will be hearing from the leaders of those countries and see what they have come up with. with a way to end this war in syria we'll talk about it in the meantime with the director of policy analysis of the absence of research and policy studies now and
12:02 am
who is a regular contributor nice to see you again thank you. these four nations what do you think about the involvement of france and germany were used to having russia and turkey involved here what confronts and germany bring to the table i think this is very important meeting although i don't expect an agreement between them because there are deep differences between these four countries of course i mean russia and to a key both are having significant military power in syria and they are actually the arm holding the cards especially concerning the ceasefire in but germany also is having the money germany is the e.u. and without the e.u. we don't expect any sort of meaningful. reconstruction process to start in syria the russians are in fact focusing mainly on the construction on retaining of that if you g.'s before any political settlement is each in syria that is not the
12:03 am
position of the germans and that is not the position of the french that is indeed the position of the turks the turks they would want very much to agree on a road map to reach a final settlement in syria that is not on on on the table for the russians at this particular stage for the germans they are mainly interested on not actually on the ceasefire in italy because they don't want more refugees from syria don't forget that after all germany is hosting the biggest number of syrian refugees apart from the neighboring countries of syria about from turkey lebanon jordan. france is having or has deployed a couple of hundred of its special forces in the eastern part of the euphrates and is fighting with the senior democratic forces the french they want actually there is the if the syria democratic forces to be part of any political solution in syria the turks they don't want that so you see the there are to be compromise. there are
12:04 am
few actually. uncommon between these different parties and the entrance of these parties are very divergent in divergent in fact so this is why i'm not expecting them to agree on in fact they have been having negotiation of one of the final communique but i don't know if they have reached it's until now it shows i mean there are many many difficulties many opportunities they have to overcome in order to reach an agreement does it matter bats iran. and the united states and even syria itself actually represented this one that says it's always syria's future is being decided by others is an absolutely i mean forget about the syrians the syrians they are they are not in the summer they have not been in sochi. they were not part of the bilateral agreement between the russians and the us they were not part of this trilateral agreement between the russians the iranians and
12:05 am
the turks and they are not part of anything this seems to accept the fact that it's their country absolutely. but the. fact that the americans are not there is really important because i don't see any sort of agreement that can be emblem entered without that medicare's been the why because the united states is controlling one third of syria that is the east in your fifty's but it's more than fifty percent of syrian territories and the east the eastern part of the fifty's is actually very important part of syrian territory is why because it's is it's it has most of syria's mineral resources as oil and water. most of syria's a great cultural actually is being grown at that division so without that no single government in damascus will be able actually to start any meeting name call and
12:06 am
aiming for greeks auction process so the americans should be there they are supporting. the see the democratic forces and the americas are the seems to be now to be activating they are all in syria this is one this can also answer the question you just asked about why it's working in india why it did not work actually and other we're talking about that the ceasefire because the americans for the first time they are supporting the turks in a blip and they are warning that against any sort of military offensive because that would actually lead to a retaliation by the americans that was made clear by president from last month it's complicated which is why i'm glad we've got you here now and do stick around because hopefully we will be hearing from those leaders a little bit later on thanks for now. plenty more ahead for you on this news hour including we want to know all we had a moneys flow to benefit it will really benefit from going to clear his name the
12:07 am
former prime minister used to stephen billions from malaysia's state funds speaks to al-jazeera also the rights to become brazil's next president titans ahead of the big runoff vote on sunday. and gymnastics biggest star will be competing even though she was hospitalized with a kidney stone sport to come later. now we are getting news coming through from the u.s. city of pittsburgh live pictures as well. these are reports of an ongoing incident in a synagogue there police say there has been a shooting that there are multiple casualties and officers have surrounded the building these pictures just from a little while ago here showing you the armed forces there. and we can actually even hear from pittsburgh police have a listen. a short time ago we were dispatched active gunfire the tree of life
12:08 am
synagogue and squirrel hill right now we have multiple casualties we're working the situation it is imperative that the neighbors in the community surrounding the tree of life synagogue stay in their houses and shelter in place do not come out of your home right now it is not safe we'll give you an update as soon as we get one let's get an update from john hendren actually our correspondent in our washington news center anything more you can tell us john. we know very little about what is happening there except what we can see from our affiliates on the ground where you see numerous swat members running around this neighborhood in full gear they're carrying the body armor weapons in their urging people to stay in their homes because this is an ongoing active situation and they have reported multiple casualties in this situation there is add a synagogue the tree of life synagogue in pittsburgh and this has an entire neighborhood in the city of pittsburgh sort of locked down police are still
12:09 am
apparently looking for the suspect we don't know whether they have leads on that whether perhaps the suspect or suspects are trapped in a building we don't know really any details except that whatever is happening is still ongoing and that's why they're urging everyone to remain in their homes and that comes all the way from the president of the united states down to local police who are urging people to stay home we don't know the number of casualties but we are told they are multiple ok actually just as you mentioned that looking at a tweet from donald trump right now as well watching the events unfolding in pittsburgh pennsylvania law enforcement on the same police people in squirrel hill area should remain shells it looks like multiple fatalities but where about to god let's all i mean actually i was going to talk to you about this later in the show anyway john is that the president's reaction to events like this shooting this or indeed the melbourne instance which we've seen recently it is crucial and everyone watching for the way he reacts to these things. it is standard for
12:10 am
a president to react to mass casualty situations like this or the kind of national scares that you had when you had this bombing incident happened earlier this week or the or these mail bombs that were sent out earlier this week what is common is for a president to calm the nation to urge everyone to come together and president trump did start to do that in the case of that bombing but then he went on to attack the media to say that they bore responsibility now since this suspect has been captured and we know that pro trump stickers and slogans are all over his van and we are told by associates of his over time that he's a big. fan he was apparently inspired by the president and the president's word to target individuals when the president had himself targeted in speeches for criticism and of course taken that another step farther in normally one would
12:11 am
expect a president in that kind of situation to to be reticent to stand back and to urge calm but president trump has in fact turned around and said the media bear responsibility for this he has not himself acknowledged any responsibility in fact the white house has denied that his rhetoric could be responsible in that situation so there's been a pretty dramatic response by and a number of people in congress who have condemned of course the bombing and there's been a general sense in public here by public officials that the whole rhetoric in american politics just needs to be taken down a notch or two because it has gotten so hostile and of course that has come from the very top yet president trump remains combative ok thanks for those updates that's john hendren in washington d.c. we were just talking little bit earlier about an active shooter situation in pittsburgh some of the most recent pictures coming out there are reports of an active shooter and multiple casualties no confirmed numbers. near the tree of life
12:12 am
synagogue is what it's called in the squirrel hill neighborhood of pittsburgh police being very very clear to say it is not safe and that people need to shelter in place and you can see the forces on the scene now clearly it is a serious situation we'll keep a close eye on it as we discussed with john in the us a man has been charged with sending mail bombs to high profile critics of donald trump fifty six year old was arrested in florida on friday but the f.b.i. warns they could be more devices that have not yet been discovered those target included the former president barack obama his vice president joe biden and democratic opponent in the twenty sixteen election hillary clinton is attempted bombings or overshadowing campaigning ahead of next month's midterm elections americans will be voting for members of both chambers of congress as well as for governors in thirty six of the fifty states and that's all happening november sixth how does your caster as more. an hour before trump arrived at the
12:13 am
republican rally in charlotte north carolina the crowd was already chanting against c.n.n. the television network targeted by a florida man a trump supporter who tried to send more than a dozen pipe bombs in the mail this week to the president's critics trump began his speech by condemning the attack political violence bus never ever be allowed in america and i will do everything in my power to stop it ah in recent days we've had a broader conversation about the tone and civility of our national dialogue everyone will benefit if we can in the politics of personal destruction. but then he returned to criticizing the media the media is constant unfair coverage the possibility. and negative attacks you know that only
12:14 am
serves to drive people apart and to undermine healthy debate. some has been crisscrossing the country to support republican candidates ahead of the midterm elections in two weeks americans will decide which party controls congress was with that at stake former u.s. president barack obama also held a rally friday to campaign for wisconsin democrats whatever your political background i'm hoping you think it's wrong to hear people spend years months vilifying people questioning their patriotism calling them enemies of the people and then suddenly you're concerned about civility. obama was another intended recipient of the pipe bombs he made no mention of it in his remarks but terence romney and wisconsin voter who waited in line to see the former
12:15 am
president says trump is partly to blame for the violence i think that this whole thing up with this his crazy talk is it enabled us to get crazy people. to do things as the dueling rallies from presidents present and past unfolded friday both men sharply diverged on immigration taxes and health care they laid out competing visions of america but agreed on one thing this election both claimed will be the most important one in a lifetime. castro al-jazeera milwaukee wisconsin to brazil where the two presidential candidates of wraps up campaigning ahead of sunday's runoff vote the polls suggest the far right candidate triable sonata has seen his lead over the now to about four by six percentage points in the past week. maybe a little bit of hope for turnaround for the leftist camp but let's check in with
12:16 am
surprise about in rio de janeiro how are preparations going for sunday's election. here in brazil there's excitement among those who are going to vote for form for extreme right candidate. there's a lot of fear and war is among those who are voting against him were voting for the workers' party candidate. got most of the materials the electoral material has already been distributed around the country the army has been deployed to around twelve states because of security concerns and right now both candidates are in their bases that now know how bad this is in the face of how powerful and right it will turn out to be here. he has asked his followers to remain calm prior to sunday's vote but something came as a surprise that as he is that electoral of the managers of his campaign filed
12:17 am
a complaint at the electoral board against the singer roger waters the most so not all of the campaign managers are saying that he's taking sides in this campaign that he told reporters and i don't catch you doing that throughout that there will be water carrying out here in brazil and that if you also tried to visit former president or without a few that was currently in prison so it's been a long field with mr information bottom line there's not some anxiety and many brazilians are hoping for it to end even though many are worried about what's coming next mr bush has been the biggest figure in this election he has led most of the way but is there perhaps any real hope for his apartment about to turn things around. well most analysts here in brazil are saying that only a tsunami could turn things around there's not what twelve point. difference between both candidates i mean even though. some point in this last few days it's
12:18 am
a big big difference to this point that the last days. northeastern brazil stronghold of the workers' party that's the place where former president changed the lives of millions of brazilian and that's where. we know that he's hoping to get the support of. former presidential candidate who came in third in this election so that's something that he's waiting for and also something that happened is that the former president of the we would have also said that he's going to vote for that thing that this is the first time that he's afraid about a presidential candidate since brazil returned to democracy and nine hundred eighty five so there's many things on boeing but at this point most analysts say that it is unlikely that but i'm sure that we'll be able to turn things around thank you to reza both in rio reporting on the brazilian elections. catalonia is marking one
12:19 am
year since the region's failed declaration of independence the attempt to split from spain prompted madrid to reply direct rule and to sack the regional government however catalonia leader says the push for independence will continue. nobody said it was going to be easy going back is not an option the commitment to freedom and democratic civil rights is no longer going to be up for negotiation the right to self-determination and therefore which implementation in relation to the results is not the property of any government nor any circumstance it is the right of the people of catalonia and will never renounce to it. israel has launched airstrikes hitting more than eighty locations in gaza after it says rockets were fired from there into southern israel is ready said the targets are linked to both hamas and islamic jihad the general security headquarters of hamas was among those hit and it's already spoke. and says rocket fire was launched from gaza late on friday and
12:20 am
continued into saturday morning something jihadist told al-jazeera it has agreed to hold rocket fire after talks with and egyptian delegation i meet with more now from west jerusalem come seems to be restored now in both gaza and southern israel but it was certainly a very tense night probably the most tense we have seen in recent weeks now islamic jihad did claim responsibility for the rockets launched at southern israel in its statement it said it was in retaliation of the palestinian blood that was said earlier in the day now as you know every friday thousands of palestinian head to that border fence between gaza and israel demanding their delivering of the blockade and their right to return home inside israel now. burnt tires and throw stones some of them also throw some fire bombs but israel has responded with live ammunition killing four palestinians now israel also
12:21 am
targeted. gaza throughout the night hitting more dead ninety targets mostly have my stargaze and people might wonder why since islamic jihad that actually carry out rocket attacks well simply because israel holds how must responsible for everything that happens inside gaza simply because it is the governing body there now in its statement israeli army said that it was also holding iran and the puts forces of the revolutionary guard responsibility said that they that islamic jihad were following orders coming from there here's what's coming up for you on al-jazeera remember that news conference any moment now from world leaders meeting in istanbul to discuss the ending of the war in syria that is that is russia germany france and. my. coverage of that when it happens it's also another chance to vote. a week out for the rest of the country

and. indonesia where we'll tell you about a warning the government received years ago about some of the potential dangers of a large earthquake happening here and how it may influence the rebuild of this devastated city. and then the world series goes past the hour before the dog bright. light. hello again well the sardo want to start to live on and we did watch a major storm system make its way across the eastern med across georgia and then produced some drastic flooding here across the red sea we showed you some images earlier but i want to take you back down towards the red sea where the flooding the
12:23 am
flash flooding across the water was responsible for over twenty one deaths and still people are still missing across that region now the good thing is that we are looking at much drier conditions there right now and that is going to be helping for the right recovery efforts in the relief efforts there so across that region we are looking to the low twenty's but that same funnel boundary is still going to be a major problem particularly down here across the arabian peninsula i want to show you what we do expect to see over the next few days look at the rain we expect to hear on sunday in the clouds across the gulf but with this rain there is the potential for even more flooding across central portions of saudi arabia now sunday monday for riyadh but as we go towards the middle of the week we can expect some of that rain to edge over here towards medina so we're going to be watching that very very carefully as we make our way down here towards the southern parts of africa we are looking at very dry conditions across much of the area so the forecast for cape town looks like this we are looking at clear skies a twenty six degrees warmer day for you up here towards johannesburg at thirty and then as we go towards monday it is going to be durban at twenty seven degrees.

12:35 am
city into a muddy graveyard where many bodies are still buried when the earthquake struck these communities largely disappeared in a process called liquefaction when the earth beneath the surface turned to mud swallowing people and buildings it's an inhospitable landscape but as traumatized as survivors are some want to return to rebuild here even when they see that a hole in the ground is all that remains of their home. so i'm so terrified when i see this place my children said mom once the government clears up we should just move back in we don't have to build a permanent house we can just use wood so i finally agreed i have to follow my children we don't have anywhere else to live so who just come back here. that may not be their decision to make though if the government goes ahead with a new master plan to rebuild the city. those that used to live in this suburb of aurora and a neighboring community will be relocated the government says the ground is too
12:36 am
unstable to rebuild here which it seems has always been the case since the disaster it's emerged that the government knew areas like this were particularly dangerous six years ago its own experts drew a map of city highlighting areas where there was a high risk of liquefaction occurring in an earthquake this was one of those so-called red zones where hundreds if not thousands of people died. local government leaders wouldn't give al-jazeera an interview experts say the map should now be studied very closely as part of polished rehabilitation which is expected to cost almost one point five billion dollars. you know. to make a people or so a kind of like the buffer zone and green zone with the forest and things like that as well as for the monument for the people so the national something that. the

12:51 am
second it gone there to pick up paperwork for his impending marriage to his tech ish fiance or child stress that is outside the saudi consulate in istanbul and joins us now and as we were expecting charles the extradition of saudi citizens was always extremely unlikely and well there's nothing turkey can do to compel saudi arabia to do this. now that's right and i don't think anybody here certainly was under any illusions that even mr president ordo on all honestly expected that the saudis were going to agree to the extradition of these eighteen men forget the president or the law and he's very out of phase with the problems of extradition he demanding has been demanding the extradition of that man fit to the good and from the u.s. he blames for the failed coup in two thousand and sixteen but you know it's pretty obvious as well that the language of president of the war on change quite
12:52 am
dramatically yesterday he was a lot more assertive. some people have even described the way that he was talking about the saudi leadership is being insulting saying that they would not be responsible describing their explanation of what they say happened in the consulate as being comical and childish and warning them that the turks have more information there of course he's disabled the recording that is being solely of a mission from aid has been leaked by to government sources over the last few weeks . we understand that that could well have been what mr erdogan was referring to an interesting way all of this lead we have a major summit going on here in istanbul on syria with the leaders of france germany and russia and we spoke to a member of the turkish foreign ministry who said that he is fully expected that mr
12:53 am
erdogan will be making more statements about the quiz shows he case at that summit and we expect to be hearing something literally in the next hour or so. and charles what are we expecting to hear from possibly in the next few days and weeks he seems to make comments to the effect that there is more evidence that the turks have in their possession possession and yet there is this clear reluctance and reticence to actually reveal it. well yeah i mean i think certainly pundits a lot goes back there saying a lot goes back to exactly how this information was obtained this old recording it's applied to this will be a recording was taken from inside the consulate and that has legal ramifications as well because of course it implies that it was spying inside the the the saudi
12:54 am
consulate. that's where we understand the majority of the these leaks have come from certainly transcripts that have been leaked to the turkish media in the last couple of weeks and as mr obama said yesterday they have more information more cards that they can play it's also fair to say that certainly according to the turks the saudis have not fully cooperated in the dish joint investigation we saw for two days. attempts by his team to get back inside the consul general's home to sorrily inspect what we understood is a well in the gardens of the consul general sullivan despite savingly the saudis initially agreeing permitting this team to go and certainly according to sources that we've spoken to the turkish government ultimately the saudis did not allow that kind of investigation or the thorough investigation of that well to happen so
12:55 am
. i think it's fair to say that the longer this investigation goes on the more threats and the more leaks we will have from the turkish government and let's not forget that the saudi prosecutor the chief prosecutor is expected in turkey tomorrow he we understand is going to be meeting with his counterpart on monday and there is this whole idea that one of the reasons why this extradition another reason why these extradition call from zero to one was put out yesterday is because the turks aren't expecting this is what we've heard they're not expecting the saudi prosecuted to basically lay out all the cards on the table and to give them and share all the information that they that they won't. thank you very much charles trafford with all the latest from istanbul. the leaders of france germany turkey and russia holding talks in istanbul to try to
12:56 am
find a way to end the war in syria it's the first summit to bring all fully does together they're expected to push for the demilitarized zone and live to be made permanent cease fire was agreed by turkey and russia in sochi last month it's largely held but on friday syria's government threatened to retake the rebel held province was in a hunter is live for us in istanbul now and saying there the idea with the objective behind this conference is to seek more lost and solutions for syria but. this is very ambitious given how fragile the situation remains. well yes the situation is fragile it's tense we know what europe wants they want to live to remain quiet they do not want an offensive that will cause or create a humanitarian catastrophe and a new wave of refugees reaching europe this summit was supposed to have taken place in september but at the time the syrian government was threatening an all out
12:57 am
offensive turkey stepped in and then we had this agreement with russia to create this demilitarized zone so france and germany attending this summit on the basis that there will not to be a syrian government offensive in fact that is what the french president said now this is what europe wants now what does russia and turkey want they want europe on board to help pay for syria's reconstruction they do not believe that the west should wait for a political solution to be agreed by all those involved in the crisis before reconstruction work begins but europe doesn't see it that way the west doesn't see it that way the united states doesn't see it that way so there is a lot of hard bargaining taking place behind closed doors but definitely this is a summit this summit this really it's a first of its kind it's very significant that you have europe sitting on the same table as russia and turkey what is also significant is that the french president is
12:58 am
trying to mediate between the russians and the americans what we're hearing is that mccrone is trying to set up a high level russian u.s. meeting in paris to discuss syria because at the end of the day you're going to need the united states on board if you're going to reach an internationally backed deal to end the war in syria so this final phase way you potentially have russia and america engaged in. a process with all the leverage that that brings could that really then potentially pave the way laid the groundwork for a new constitution a more a more solid solution to what's happening in syria. well the u.n. special envoy to syria the outgoing special envoy i must say stefan the mr is attending the summit just yesterday he briefed the united nations security council and he said well basically that the syrian government is not cooperating what
12:59 am
restorer has been trying to do for months now is to create a u. and committee to draft a new syria constitution because it's going to pave the way for u.n. monitoring elections and this is really the credible process the political process that the west has been demanding so far the syrian government is refusing to cooperate the russians instead of pressuring the syrian government to do so they're saying they're urging patience so everyone is playing their cards right now what is clear is that russia is hoping to get to europe to start to help rebuilding syria but there are a lot of lot of issues that still need to be solved we're not expecting any breakthroughs here but could this be the beginning of let's say a new diplomatic track this could be a nucleus and then the there are other players will get on board but we're still very far from reaching a final political settlement to the crisis and it liberally is a card that is being played thank you very much from istanbul zain hunter u.s.
