now you can see that it has been torched, pulling pages from their holy books have been burnt.s floor used to be carpeting. it is now ash. and really you can get a sense of the devastation that has been caused by this arson attack. an arson attack, which according to palestinian investigators was carried out by israeli settlers. they say live in the illegal settlement not far from here. this isn't the first time we have seen something like this happen here. a mosque two years ago was targeted again from arson, so again, as we have been saying a lot of anger, but a lot of sadness as well. >> you say the people say jewish settlers are responsible. are they hopeful that justice will be done? do they have a recourse for justice? >> well, we only have to look at the figures. according to the united nations of the number of cases brought against settlers, only 9% have resulted in an indictment, but the vast majority of crimes carried out by settlers, are rarely investigates so the fact that only 9% that are investigates result in indictment really just gives you a sense of how many p

oil and gases have been discovered. the battle for areas is more politicized and sophisticated and violent. this man's son was decapitated by a man from a rival frib in what -- tribe in what is believed to be a tribal attack. it's been a month, and his son's body is at the mortuary. >> i cannot bury him without a head. it's taboo >>> police have been deploy to find the tribes holding illegal firearms. we spoke to people in the area, and they accuse the security forces banding down their homes. this is a home state destroyed by security officers. hundreds of people fled, but we could not see civilian movement on the roads. that's because we are told people have gone into the interior to the bushes. and the hills of this vast region. >> at one down center this man came from the hide out to find the shop smouldering. it's one of several destroyed here. >> they say they are looking for guns. we are far from where the attack happened. we have no guns. >> the police spokesman told us any former complain will be vetted. back h

they've been pushed and they've been prodded and treated and mistreated. we had an elderly woman come to me last night and she said watch how they'll strategically move -- and i heard you talk about how they're going in strategically but they were moving almost like we were all on the auction block. they were grabbing the strong, tall, voiceful out of the crowd and arresting them for no reason or than what seemed to be like a physical threat. >> you would agree there were opportunists out last night, people taking advantage of the situation. i think reverend sharpton talked earlier today about some of people who were burning down buildings weren't there for mike brown. they were there for themselves. >> you have -- >> and you tweeted out yesterday something like there were protesters but there were looters and arsonists and people should understand the difference. >> have not been out here the last 100 days and showed up last night and weren't carrying signs and weren't chanting messages but only showed up to break into buildings. those are opportunistic c

at least one person has been killed.r glasse is joining us from kabul, where the taliban, jennifer has claimed responsibility for that attack. but the question is how they managed to get signed the headquarters. >> reporter: well, doreen, that's what police are investigating right now. just if the last few minutes we learned that the attacker was indeed a suicide attacker. the target was the police chief. he gave a press conference saying that the attacker was not in a police uniform, he was in a suit and came in to the compound with documents saying that he had a problem that he needed solved by the police chief and that's how he got in the compound heavily fortified, surrounded by walls, lots of security to go in. they are looking at closed circuit tv footage right now. they can see the face of the man, they have the documents he turned in. they are trying to determine his identity and how exactly he got in to that building. coming in to the building requires being screened, patted down, 30,000 people come through that

just seems remarkable that there's been no loss of life so far. >> it's been remarkable that there'sn no loss of life since the beginning of the protests. since the day after michael brown was killed. and that's something that authorities have remarked on, and they say despite all of the criticism that they have gotten when they bring out their armored vehicles and put on their tactical vests and their helmets, and when they use tear gas, they say, you know, nobody has been hurt, nobody has been killed by police throughout this entire three-month span, including tonight. >> is it clear when you were down there, michael, or perhaps it was pretty difficult to actually ascertain whether this violence is being driven by people from outside ferguson, as indeed it seemed to be in early august when michael brown was shot. >> reporter: well, and you might be able to glean that from taking a look at the fact that there were two different protests. and the one in st. louis was -- the protesters were talking about -- chanting about michael brown. they were out, they said, in direct response to

their response had been more targeted.welcome a spokesman for the wing of the muslim brotherhood, you thank you for coming in. what is your response to the findings of the report? >> in this kind of report, it's a copy from the previous one y , which has been issued from the human rights council. and they ignore a lot of things such as the 37 people, who have been killed inside the police truck. it said nothing about. and also even the massacre of about 12 or 14 massacred. they never charged any person from the police or army who killed these people. they also never mentioned the army. >> in the bit that they talk about, do you acknowledge that they say that the sit-ins caused the officers to lose their focus, and the first person shot was a policeman. >> no, i was there. myself, i was there. there were a lot of snipers, and then they started killing. they started with the tearing gas, and they started to kill the first line in the sit-in and then would go on. the people inside the hospital and they were under medical oper

the -- the army has been divided along sectarian lines. it has been completely undermined.e're waiting to see whether any new president and government will be able to dispatch the army to those areas to put an end to the sectarian violence. >> thank you. >>> now the u.s. president, barack obama has urged myanmar leaders to continue their democratic reforms. he was speaking in talks with the opposition leader. the leader said the transition to democracy has hit what she described as a bumpy patch. president obama said although change is sometimes hard, more reforms are needed. >> it's clear how much hard work remains to be done, and many difficult choices still lie ahead. the process for reform is by no means complete or irreversible. for many has not come fast enough or spread far enough. people need to feel safe in their homes, and not be subject to arbitrary harassment by authorities. >> our reform process is going through -- let us say a bumpy -- a bumpy patch. but this bumpy patch is something we can negotiate with commitment and the help and understanding of our friend

we've been hearing gunfire. now you heard stephanie talk about the building just down the street still on fire. still burning. so sad, because earlier this afternoon, we were inside that building, talking to some of the owners there, talking to them about trying to reach out to those in the community to see it burning now like this, it's got to be heart wrenching for those who own that business on west florissant. we continue to hear some gunfire here in the area. we've got armored vehicles now moving in. again, close to where my colleague, stephanie elam was just a few minutes ago. they are now moving into the area. but at this point you can see armored vehicles moving in. but the buildings, this one here, another one down the street, they're just being left to burn. anderson? >> jason, as you point out, these are local businesses, these are folks who have for months been struggling to keep their business going, and just to see it up in flames is a sickening sight. >> reporter: especially when you consider thes

they've been going over witnesses testimonies, this has been going on for quite a long time. they had until january 7th ultimately to make the decision, but clearly a decision made now as we await tonight at some point. it could happen at any moment for them to come out and give us the ultimate verdict from the grand jury, tony. >> look, you were on those streets in august when shortly after michael brown was shot and killed. i wonder what your sense is of the time that is past? certainly when we were all there, there was a sense that the community would be happy with nothing less than indictment of that the officer. has that sentiment changed at all? >> it's a great question, tony. i think ultimately that's what people here want. especially the people in ferguson and surrounding pockets, and in ferguson. i think the time that has passed has created a lot of angle guy anxiety in this community. if you talk to people 3 in those neighborhoods thel that life is not what e was. if you look at some of the businesses boarded up, some of those people tell us they've lost 75% of thei

it's not been done. they have not charged this many people. >> the trial continues behind the walls. the biggest test of a pillaried justice system. the case has been beset by more problems. there's infighting among prosecutors, accusations of bribery, and a judge who some say is too cautious, and witnesses who are disappearing or getting killed. promising to reform the culture, the president said there would be a conviction by the end of his term in 2016. the justice secretary has taken over the case herself. >> it's not easy to advance a reform agenda by any administration. a lot of assistance, interests, powerful people, those that want status quo to prevail always. >> since the massacre. rights groups say there has been more than 100 extrajudicial killings and a handful of convictions. in the southern philippines, is the governor. members of the family are back in public office. as much as the government says it's pushing for change, it seems some things have not changed at all >>> coming up on al ja

every time this has been done throughout history, there's been an increase in illegal immigrants.in human trafficking, in child trafficking coming across the border. this is something that is irresponsible of the president, instead of working with congress saying we're going to put three years on this and see what happens. we don't know what's going to happen after that. it would be much smartder for him to work with the congress to come up with a real solution. >>> you may not have heard of roller derby. some have described it as rugby on wheels. two teams race around a track trying to block each other's players physically and things get pretty rough. egypt has its first ever all-female roller derby team, the cairollers. we went to meet some of them. >> i have been with cairollers for almost one year. i didn't know anything about skating before i joined cairollers, so it was so hard to do something like this when you are 24. five players on each team on the track. you have four from each team named as a blocker. and one from each team as a jammer. when the jammer from your team p

and -- they've been very -- yes and yes.viously and that was a huge issue getting this house caucus to gel around any one program has often proven tough which gets to your point about the need for a greater majority. but i think the other thing, too, is there was a little bit of fear about coming out. they worried that it might give democrats ammunition to go after them and they wanted to keep this focused on the president. >> jason, though, still not much doubt despite the caveats from kim that the democrats are playing defense for the most part. they had to give upmost republi they could go after and they are trying to defend safe -- what they thought were safer democratic seats. where are some of the vulnerabilities for the democrats? >> i look at arizona where there are a couple of very close house races. kirkpatrick to hughes -- >> ann kirkpatrick in the north of the state down tucson way. >> and she has gabby giffords' old seat. i think that's a place where republicans can make some gains. also in the hudson valley of

this has been going on for a while. it's becoming more visible because the anger is not possible to contain. people can't take it even more p and you can't have a normal life like this. the israelis, they don't hear about this. for israelis, it's all new stuff. but for most of my family who live in east jerusalem, this is the day-to-day life that has been going on for the last 20-30 years. >> you have heard the tough assertion that israelis are not aware of the sufferings of palestinians under this set of circumstances. your an israeli, is that true? >> well, for israelis the situation right now is very delicate, very sensitive. israelis are under attack. buses , light-rail transportation, in synagogues. this is unprecedented, and the scope of attacks that i can recall in recent years, and clearly israels are now struggling to come to terms after years of a quiet jerusalem. so what he has been describing is from his perspective an with the. i can account for the fact that jerusalem has been pretty quiet for many years.

that has been the case. expect that to get worse as many republicans say they'll push back on efforts by president obama. >> on the surface, it looks like a major victory for the republican party. they are a divided party. they are known to be obstructionist, particularly in the last six years of office. this is a test for them to see if they cap govern, especially in light of the 2016 presidential election. >> indeed. there'll have to be a choice by the republican party. they know it's one that they'll have to make quickly. here is the reality. in two years there'll be another election. this one will be critical for republicans who hope to capture the white house. they have to try and send a message to the american people that they can govern, and not be obstructionist, or they'll lose the opportunity. this is the challenge, one that they'll have to make. at the same time they'll have to show voters that they feel this is something that is important. they do have their eye on the prize. that is the white ho

it just hasn't been. and actually there's legislation that has passed the house and is currently being dickered with in the senate, and probably will not pass during this congress, but one of its features would be a amendment -- changes in exemption 5 in the delivery process privilege, largely because that's considered in the foia community to be one of the most abusive exemptions used in government. and that has not been -- the abuses have not been any better under the obama administration. so, you know, basically it's been -- i'd say a lot of people would say this is more talk than action. the talk has been extremely elegant. >> certainly, make your own judgment. when you read the holder memo, it's significantly open. when you sit in ohio and work as i do on issues involving the natural gas fracking and you look at it and say, why won't the army corps of engineers tell us what they have been doing to support the drilling under the lakes? they released one memo that has one line that says let us know how

the transitional president has been sworn in. and supreme court ruled in it's favor, it's first order of business was to give a vote of no confidence to the head of the u.n. mission in libya. and also to authorize senior officials to find his replacement. >> the self-appointed prime minister has accused the u.n. of favoring the rival elected government based in the eastern city. less than two weeks ago, the supreme court determined that the elected government was unconstitutional and should be dissolved. in benghazi fighting continued days after it was call add war stricken city and pleaded for humanitarian aid. fighters loyal to both government are battling for control of the second largest city. it's now under control of the militia backed government. in many neighborhoods people set up road politics and formed groups to defend against attacks. garbage has piled up across the city, a visible sign of how contact fighting is cripple basic services for the people caught in the cross fire. >> al jazeera. >> al jazeera continues to

but what you have really been seeing -- to be clear about this -- in the two months i've r been in town and coming back and forth here, really, the majority of the protests have been peaceful. the early protests in august where you saw unrest, violence, destruction and looting, that has really changed. the relationship between the protesters and the police seems to have changed. where the protesters are now policing themselves, they've been doing so for many weeks now, yes, there are some issues, there have been more arrest, those arrests mostly because people will stand in the middle of this street, this very street, we are right in front of the police department where people have been every single night for more than 100 days. there have been protesters here every night, rain, shine or snow. we can tell you the blocking of traffic is what usually ends up -- the police come out and then they take people in. so you're seeing a bit of that. but nobody's really been injured or no police officers have faced any injuries themselves over these last few weeks. the protesters who have been her

analysts had been expecting 230,000.till october was the ninth consecutive month when new openings exceeded 200,000. that's a level economists see as representing solid growth. businesses created jobs in industries including health care and food services. the unemployment rate was down one tenth of a point at 5.8%. the number of people working part-time because they couldn't find full-time positions was almost unchanged. policy makers at the federal reserve revised up their assessment of the employment situation last month. economists are trying to figure out if the latest data will prompt them to raise interest rates. here's one view from michael feroli at jpmorgan chase. >> in terms of the job growth number, we thought it was a solid number, consistent very much with the trend we've seen over the past year or so. we had 214,000 jobs created last month, which is, again, slightly below expectations. but i think in a statistical sense, you know, very little break from the trend that we've seen in recent months. suggesting

trying to place the veterans and there has been a fair amount of successes recently, and there has been effort to try to stream line the process. and hiring process, and the screening process to get as many veterans so there has been a lot of work on that, and i think that one of the biggest scream lining is going to the basis itself as to get to the veterans to come back and try to get them what is available to them. >> and regarding adults, the operating engineers and it was actually cat lityl and they refer to the apprentice program is active now and they have been placing them on the project, and to meet the needs and the carpenters and peter, and reported that he has been, and they have had a very successful program and the 2000 candidates applied in the last few years, and that they are starting to work with the veterans and so there is some cross connection going with the carpenters and the plumbers presented that and he is placing the apprentices and they have a robust application process, and they have had 40 recently graduate from the program and then, have been hired right aw

for 25 years he had been in prison. it was if he had just gotten back from a trip to zurech representing his country in some way, in his backyard in soweto. he was charming, completely versed in the western media and who we were and what we were interested in. and one of my treasured pictures of the two of us laughing as we're sitting there. you know, he had never met me before, obviously, but i had a soundman who had one of these boom mikes with a big, fuzzy thing on it to cut down on the wind. i said, mr. mandela, this is not a weapon. it's a microphone. he said, i'm so glad to hear it. i thought it was a shotgun pointed at me. we broke up in laughter. i thought, that was one of the moments that you kind of live for. >> you absolutely remember those, without a doubt. my father and you, you would have a descripter, brought this up when you mentioned john edwards. no socks for a politician. what did that mean? real quickly. what does no socks mean. >> tim and i had a lot of short hand when we talked. and there was a can

is it because we have been at war and officials have been diverted? how can you explain that this will be different this time? >> i think it is all the things you mentioned and the number of things i mentioned in my statement. let's start with what this enterprise has been focused on mainly for the last 13 years. two large ground wars. when you have that situation, when america has been at war and had large numbers of troops commitments in those two wars, when a nation is at war, that is a focus. that is not the only reason, i think, that this is nuclear enterprise has been allowed to back down hill a little bit. it is that. it is not paying attention where we should have in some areas. our young people, upon whom we rely on, if career paths are blocked or seen as not conducive to promotions, and they are young people with a lot of focus and commitment, where they want to go with their lives and commitments, if they see that not as a very attractive way, that is going to affect where we are. i think, too, the good news about this, there has been no nu

it's been taking the temperature and been taking some of these wonderful pictures that we've been showing. >> the images are fantastic. the comet does look like a pretty inhospitable place. but how far can they go with onboard experimentation? for example, could philae drill down beneath the surface? >> well, that's next. in some ways, that's the biggest experiment because they want to find out exactly what the comet's made from. and unbelievably, that little lander has onboard a laboratory, so the idea is to drill down for a sample, put it in the laboratory and find out the exact components. the problem is if you start drilling and start moving, then philae can tip over and float into space. so they're saving that experiment to last. >> right. because there is sort of a clock ticking on all of this. we talked a little bit about the problem with the battery life and the fact the solar panels don't seem to be getting enough sunlight. i have heard some discussion of whether it would be possible to move philae, to get it into more direct sunlight. is it possible? how would they do it? >> tha

there have been two since 2013. already questions are being asked, how could a vehicle like this full of explosives get so close to a government building? how could an attack like this happen? particularly when the islamic stat islamic state in iraq and the levant have made threats on the kurdish region, particularly the capitol city saying they would send a volley of suicide-bombers to erbil. >>> al jazeera, baghdad. >> six fighter jets are being sent to jordan to target isil. two citizens appear in a video showing the beheading of an aid work and 12 soldiers. thnow a thousand french fighters are thought to go fight in syria and iraq. >>> 15 people including children have been killed in a drone strike in thecy of raffa. the attack left seven people dead. security and officials say that they were killed in gun fights between armed groups and the egyptian army. >>> initiative by gulf states to ease diplomatic disputes in the region are taking affect. egypt has been called to normalize ties with qatar. they agreed to
