And in east ukraine, our separatists are trying to keep the gas flowing. In pakistan since the flooding tens of thousands of people have become sick with skin disease. Coming up well find out how doctors are coping. Well, we begin the news hour with the latest from the Islamic State in iraq and the levant. Kurdish fighters say they have repelled an attack by isil fighters in a major town in that why. Attack of isil has sent thousands of kurds fleeing for their lives. Isil fighters have been threatening the town itself until the intervention of kurdish fighters. It is the third biggest Population Center for kurds, and where more than 200,000 people have left to go elsewhere in syria. More than 130,000 refugees from syria have arrived in turkey in the last three days. The United Nations calling for International Support to help the country deal with such a big crisis. Reporter this video was released by isil. It says that it shows its forces attacking kurdish villages in northern aleppo. The fighting has been so intense that it has forced thousands of syrian kurds to leave their homes to turkey. This man arrived at the refugee camp. But he does not plan to stay long. I brought my family and i plan to go back to fight isil. They have capturing our lands. My husband is ill. Were thirsty and hungry. We are in a really bad situation. We fled from brutality. This is no way to live. About can we go . Friends and relatives in turkey, well stay about them. For those who dont have family here their situation is bad. Reporter turkey has reopened its border with syria but tensions remain high. Police used water canon and tear gas on a small group of kurds. Turkey has been criticized for not doing more in the fight against isil but something that the refugee crisis, but something that might make president ere president er president erderwan rethink his tactics. This is another challenge that the turkish government will have to meet. Reporter the exodus into turkey is the biggest, and something that the turkish government is struggling to cope. Lets make a correction on something that i said. I was talking about the area wher kurdbani that 200,000 people had moved out of there where in fact, they moved to that area from other parts of syria. We go to the turkeysyria border. Victoria, we were showing pictures from the security forces, and you got caught right in the middle of this. Thats right. We arrived here in kabani. Im not sure that you can see it on the little hill. We were looking for refugees that were coming across the border. What happened up this road all of a sudden a lot of tear gas, water canons being fired at protesters. It wasnt a huge number, perhaps, 40, 50, 60, but certainly a Strong Police presence. Even further down towards the border there was a large line of turkish riot police. The protesters we spoke to, both turkish kurds and syrian kurds. The syrian kurds, their issues, they wanted to bring their families and then go back to defend it. The turkish kurds here feel that turkey is not doing enough to repel them, and saying that turkey goes so far as to help the group. Over 130,000 have crossed here over the last three days. I spoke to assad, the turkish government Relief Agency here. They say theyre trying to rehouse these people. Most coming across the border are housing with families. They are very clear to give a message that theyre helping. Battles still going on, and were being told that isil is one kilometer to the west of kabani. To the east there a 10 kilometers to the south. Fighters have managed to repeal them, but were told that the situation is still very fluid. Give us an idea of how easy it would be or difficult for them to actually spill over and bring the battle into the area where you are, which, of course, is outside syria. Thats right. Well, isil might not have this stretch, they do have stretches on turkeys border. Nothing has really happened. Nothing has changed. There are absolutely allegations that fighters come in to syria through this route. It has become much more difficult but certainly reports of young fighters to join western women, young girls, and they make their way through this border. The border crossing, and people come in and out, this is unofficial, so still fighters and smugglers will make their way through this border. Isil holds two of the border crossings. What the kurds want is given the patches in between that isil hold, they want that whole northern border. Theyve got land to the east and to the west. If they manage to get thi control of this area. The lebanese town where hundreds of rebel fighters are based. Reports say some people were killed and others were wounded. So lets talk to retired Lebanese Army general in beirut. Would it be fair to say that although this was inside the lebanese border, the authorities in your country would not be displeased to see these rebels taken out in this fashion. If depends what area of lebanon. This area has become everyones law. Its lawless, its like everyone is fighting and it is incapable of controlling syria because of topography. But maybe the army gets benefits of this. Maybe we dont have the capability to really stop them. But hitting some targets inside, its not going to end everything there. It is protected. Thats why the situation is a bit murky. Indeed, it may further cloudy the effort even more that lebanon has hostages, which are being held. What is the position of that at the moment . There is a major problem of lebanon. There are some political factions who say lets negotiate as with the lebanese and shia, and many say no, we cannot negotiate with terrorist. Maybe qatar will inter convenient as it has before in lebanon. I dont think this is the solution for this hostages. General hannah, thank you, indeed, for speaking to us live from beirut. Appreciate your time. It was only a matter of hours ago that houthi fighters were fighting for control of sanaa. Now theyre standing guard outside of major government buildings. There were concerns how the houthies are using their new found influence. Reporter hours after the truce was gree agreed upon, the area is tense. The new deal will allow minorities to dominate politics for some time to come. Houthies would overtake almost every government building as well as military command. The president called it historic. Witwe have secured this historical agreement which will help to bring a new down to yemen. So i urge all together to implement this agreement with immediate effect. The u. N. Agreement with all the issues facing yemen. Especially on crucial aspects, Social Security and the houthi take over. The president holds transparent consultation of all parties. The current government will continue to run the country until a new government is formed. It must be inclusive of all representatives of society. The duties of the government will be delegated naturally but also on a federal level. The president must appoint two political advisers. A new nonpartisan Prime Minister must be appointed. But the agreement did not clearly say when the houthi fighters would turn out from the capitol. They said that they would fully stop once the deal is implemen implemented. From the stronghold in the north, from they there go to the south taking strategically important cities before reaching the city. In sanaa. Supporters stage mass demonstrations, but some say the real goal of the group is to seize power. The latest is the biggest challenge that yemen faces in transition to democracy. Agreements between the houthi and the government has failed in the past. Many are left wondering if the deal will leave the government impartial. What do you see when you get out and about . Reporter yes, when you look on the face of it, it seems calm. When you go into the details, when you go into the streets you see something different. The houthies are moving smoothly and without disturbance. We see one area where they were setting a checkpoint in front of the one of the buildings, and you can see soldiers inside the ministry. It is the houthies who have taken the security measures of keeping that ministry under their protection. In other parts of the city there is apprehension. There are fears of what may happen next, particularly the houthies have not rested on their laurels. They have hunted down their opponents. Some of the housing compound owned by the army general who has gone against the houthi es in the last decades, and others who are considered enemies, theyre hunting them, looking for them everywhere. It is a very tense situation. As much as they have tried to put a happy face on this, theyre very concerned and they talked earlier today about there are violations that they have seen already, and they are very much concerned about the deal. Mohammed, thank you, thank you very much. Well, the editor in chief, he told me sundays Peace Agreement changed the course of yemens further. I dont call this a brokered deal but a broken u. N. Deal. The u. N. Had no choice but to agree. This is a black dot to the u. N. History for one reason. They did not negotiate the release. Today in yemen the houthies are in control of almost every government institution, and this is the case for years in my opinion. This is why i always say today starts the change of yemens Foreign Policy for years to come, and this will bring tension within the country especially when it comes to sensitive Foreign Policy issue. Lets talk to the political analyst joining us in bahrain. The Foreign Policy has been changed. In what sense do you think its changed to the point of saudi arabia . It has changed since yesterday. It is really difficult situation in saudi arabia. Yemen for the last 4050 years was under houthi influence and domain. We hear from tribal leaders. Suddenly all of that has chang changed. Now there is another country that yemen has a huge influence in yemen. And yemen is not the same. Youre talking about iran in this case . Reporter yes, precisely. Theyre able to go forward under the viable partner not to bring yemen back. Yemen will never be brought back. Theyre warning, and the whole state of yemen is under their control. If saudi arabias influence is decreased, and irans influence is increased, how will that change the regional dynamics . Its required deep analysis. Its something to be seen in the future. But it is completely i unprecedented. Weve never seen that before. We fought hard with egypt to control yemen in the 60s, and we won yemen back, but now yemen has not controlled all of yemen, but i could say today that it has the upper hand in yemen. General, thank you very much, indeed, talking to us from bahrain. Appreciate your time. Reporter good Ukrainian Army said its getting ready to withdraw troops and equipment from a proposed buffer zone. The move is in line with deal reached with pro russian separatists in belarus. Under this deal both parties are to pull back at least 15 kilometers from their sign of the front line. The ukraine army said it would be effectively ready to do so on wednesday if the ceasefire is respected. Now shaking its defend on kiev for energy. As they tell truss donetsk, it dont be an easy task. Reporter there is a lot of work, and the shelling can be terrifying. Sometimes after finishing a job other areas get destroyed overnight. Even as they fix older pipes the gas may soon run out. Russia cut off supplies in ukraine in june. Separatist leaders have a plan to keep their part of ukraine cosy this winter. It is technically feasible. If we make an agreement with russia well be able to receive gas and not pass it on to ukraine. Its not that simple. Today many separatistheld towns in donetsk rely on gas held by governmentheld territory. Thats why the separatist resent the ceasefire. They want control of the entire region. Gas is only part of the problem. Fighters took us to see a coalpowered fire station, engineers are working hard to keep it running. There is coal storage in our power station. We were preparing for the wintertime. We still have enough fuel for a month of operation. Reporter they say they can run on gas and heavy oil even though at the moment there is very little guarantee of supply. This power station is only operating one turbine at just 15 of its ordinary capacity. There is a fuel shortage that runs mainly on coal. It runs the coal line to produce more fuel. Reporter for lack of power many coal mines are flooded with ground water. This engineer told me it will take two months to pump the shafts dry. The team is busy, but with the economy at a standstill thousands of workers are on unpaid leave. There will be plenty to worry about for the selfdeclared republics this winter. Al jazeera, donetsk.

The familys home was swept away by the rising tide a week ago. I was in acute pain lying on the bed for two days. I cant afford to visit a doctor or get medicine. Reporter the weakest is suffering especially children, pregnant women and the elderly. We count a dozen babies in this small camp alone. Children are developing sores. We need a doctor and money. We need care for the babies. Hygiene and food and clothes and a tent for giving birth. The government has given us nothing. We are exhausted. Reporter two and a half Million People have been effected in one of the worst floods pakistan has scene. Many cant go back to their village, theyre living in camps on the side of the road with no toilets or clean water. Across huge areas of southern punjab floodwaters are slowly starting to recede, but its leaving behind dirty stagnant water, which is breeding more disease. People are using this water to bathe in, wash their clothes and dishes, and some people are drinking t and people are getting sick. Theyre living next to their homes, not inside, but they have their beds outside on the roads, and we have all the stagnant water and insects around them, thats whats making the situation worse, and these are the conditions theyre leaving in. Reporter this clinic for flood victims is run by a charity, children have skin rashes and infections. This woman tells us shes suffering from vomiting and stomach cramps. All of these women have the same complaint. Doctors are treating around 2,000 people a day in this tent alone. Most of the problems were seeing are stomach issues, diarrhea, and skin diseases, and then there are more and more people showing up with more diseases. Reporter medical staff say theyre pleading for help. They say its a crisis here. At least these flood victims have somewhere to go for medicine and to see a doctor. In more isolated regions there is no one. So for now babies and mothers have to struggle alone. Nicole johnson, al jazeera, pakistan. Well start with the weather. You might be looking at that map, but its moving from one side of the continent to the other, but its not quite as simple as that. Meteorologist no, no, the monsoon does not happen white in thawhitequite that way. You see the imagery that on the Western Areas its dry and fine. But across the Eastern States of india and bangladesh we have seen a lot of flooding. Not far from behind, in fact, two days of flooding here has caused some real problems. And it does look as though its going to rain pretty wet over the next 24 hours. Maybe some slight decrease in the precipitation as we head through on to wednesday.

It is a small fraction of the countrys 9. 5 shia muslims, but they are the most active in yemens political affairs.
