francois hollande lashes out at bashar al-assad. the french president said the syrian leader is no partner in the fight against terrorism, but rather a jihadist ally. time to take a look at what is making headlines in the weekly news magazines. lots of focus in the magazines this week on the spread of ebola through western africa. >> that's right. the african continent as a whole is concerned very at -- concerned. africa and quarter and teen. according -- in a quarantine. according to the magazines, africa is in kind of a hysteria. the collective panic we are witnessing across africa and the world in general has led to , whichnal decisions added to the confusion. a delegation of brazilian businessman canceled the trip to namibia because of the virus. the closest case is some 5000 kilometers away. lights are being canceled and all of this is having an incredible effect on the economies in africa. >> let's come back to france, where the biggest story with the government reach a full -- reshuffle. >> the secret story of the government

this is the real turning point hollande's francois presidency -- and president francois hollande's presidency. 59% of people say they think these -- it is a good move to minister. the economy a lot of people said he was a troublemaker, so it is good to get him out of the government. according to the poll, the government has a lot of work for heartserms of winning and minds and building confidence. eight out of 10 people in the poll believe the new government's new economic policy will not be more clear, more just, or more effective than it already is. >> some other papers are taking a closer look at who are the new faces of the government. thele figaro," right-leaning paper, is kind of disappointed in this new government. there aren't that many major changes. basically, hollande has rallied around him the few faithful supporters he still has. hisrding to "le figaro," ranks are getting pretty thin. the left-leaning paper has more hope in this government, especially these three new ministers. the culture minister on the left, the education minister in the center, and this newcomer, emmanuel mac

a new list present of ministers to president hollande by tomorrow. of course, the important part of all this, the french are going to react in terms of popularity. has lost about nine points of popularity over the past month. he went from 45% to 36%. the president's popularity is at a record low right now. >> where does this leave the french economy? fromre talking to guests bearing berg. they were saying that while a lot of the right noises are being made by the french government, they haven't followed up with policy actions. where does this leave the french economy and the outlook for it? of course, these signals that president hollande wants to maintain his line of economic policy. he introduced a stability pact earlier this year to cut taxes for companies. that is starting to have an impact. as you see, the french gdp didn't grow in the past two quarters. from that, to abandon the deficit target for 2014, of course we will have to see who gets named finance minister and economic minister in this new team. that will determine whether hollande will

well, france gets to keep president hollande until at least 2017 and hollande has instructed that the cabinet should stay directed, in other words, no change. so instead of acting and moving on tuesday in the hope of forming a new cabinet minus those dissenters, the president and his prime minister will be hoping to get back to business as usual. towards what many people feel is a deeply uncertain economic end but possibly an uncertain political end as well. and that's because what is also going on here is a split, a very significant split, in the left of french politics. the economy minister arnauld montbourg, french president hollande stands to lose much plairp along witpopularity alon. but that makes enacting any sort of vorms i reforms extremely di. >> jonah, thank you. >>> convoy of russian tanks and armored vehicles crossed the border in the country's southeast. reporters were told that ten tanks, two armored vehicles and two military cargo trucks entered ukraine earl monday morning. ukrainian forces fought with the convoy and called for military backup. they managed to block pa

hollande's aides said it was important to assure reliability and consistency. launch is hoping the reshuffle will ensure his control of the socialist party. he faces opposition from all sides. but it is the far right national front that is likely to get a boost from the confusion. her vice president said the reshuffle would not do a thing to up the government. >> this is just another round of musical chairs. i do not see the point. we have done it several times on the left in the right. we have to come back to the people. >> senate elections are due next month and france. the president and his new government have until then to persuade france they are on the right track. >> in just over three weeks, scotland will be holding an historic referendum on whether to take away from the united kingdom and become an independent country. >> if the people of scotland vote yes, it would end a 307 year union with britain. but polling shows the majority of scots want to stay in the u.k. the leaders of the yes and no campaigns went head to head in a final tv debate. >> scotti

let's bring you developing story coming out of europe and france where the president francis hollande is dissolving the government after the prime minister offered up his socialist government's resignation. he has been crit skiing direction -- criticizing direction in defines of leadership. joining me is the chief correspondent of the newspaper. welcome to al jazeera. can you give us an idea why the resignation has happened right now? >> yes, because when the prime minister was appointed as prime minister. it was a clear signal that france was abandoning its specialist connections. france can't stand so much on social welfare. he did not accept the austerity measures, and felt they didn't work for spain, and wanted to go on. so he publicly criticised, so the prime minister thought that there was too much, that the red line had been crossed. and so he had reservations, so probable what would happen is that the president will appoint and invest as a prime minister. and then the prime minister will choose a government without him and a minister of economy that does not accept the austeri

in france, belgium and holland.m sorry with all of the numbers, but i want to answer your question. of the 620, there were about 27 that were out, about 583 st. louis passengers under their rule. and so if you minus 254 which is the number killed, you have 279 who survived if you talk about those under direct nauts rule in a sense -- nazi rule in a sense of the numbers. in terms of the england passengers, we wanted to know what happened to every single england passenger. there were two romainan born passengers on the st. louis that ended up going back to romainia. they didn't know english and they went back to romainia. they did find documentation they were alive at the end of the war but they did survive. but that shows how we had to make sure every passenger could be accounted for. many of the now st. louis passengers in england were interned by the british because they were considered to be aliens, they were not considered german but they were interred in england. there was one who died into the blitz creek so we

francois hollande will remain president. in a few months time and probably the next three years until 2017 francois hollande will remain president. the next few weeks will be but at some stage there will away vote of confidence in the government and the parliament. i would expect at the present time the government to survive this vote because it would be hard to imagine the renegade left and socialist mps voting against the government because in this case hollande would be forced to dissolve the government, cause new elections. suffer a catastrophic loss and hollande would be righted with a majority in the parliament. >> do you think hollande today has an alternative, a left wick policies and the first prime minister quite something more eccentric? >> what's the outcome of today? >> you can't really change course now and remain credible. so i would expect them to persist on the present course and try very hard to persuade the other countries in the eurozone and the european central bank and notably germany to present france
