In the u. S. Midterm elections, taking control of both houses in congress. And the sirps side of social sirnster side of social media. Tech giants are ignoring the widespread use of the web by extremists. Our top story there has been heightened tension in jerusalem, where israeli activists threatened to storm the alaqsa compound. Palestinians turned up at the site and fought with Israeli Police after being denied entry to the mosque. The mosque is sacred to jews and muslim. It is located in occupied East Jerusalem. Israel supplied access to the site called temple mount. Muslims referred to it as the nobel sanctuary. Its home to the dome of the rock and alaqsa mosque. Its managed as part of a 20 year piece deal. Nonmuslims are allowed to visit the site. Jews are not allowed to pray there. Well go to imtiaz tyab. Live from jerusalem. We know this has long been a flashpoint between muslims and jews. What sparked the recent tension . Thats right. It really has in the past several months been a major flashpoint. We have seen a number of confrontations between complains and israelis. But what we saw this morning is in response to something that happened a week ago today. One week ago a man by the name of rabbi was shot and injured by a palestinian man. Mr glick is controversial, leading a jewish group which is pushing for greater access to the alaqsa mosque. He was leading a conference, which is advocating that, and we have seen a number of confrontations by Israeli Security forces and palestinians. This all coming to a head when supporters and other far right groups tried to enter the compound. That resulted in confrontations between police and protesters who see this as a major provocation. Tension in the area has been growing out of the gaza conflict. How has Prime MinisterBinyamin Netanyahu dealt with it . Well, in the past few days publicly he appealed for calm for his actions and the actions of his government they have been anything but. We have seen mass arrests across occupied East Jerusalem, in the past 11 or 12 days. There has been over 100 arrests since before the gaza war. In total there has been well over 800 arrests. We have seen the Israeli Government announcing large settlement expansions in occupied East Jerusalem, which angers palestinians, because they hope the occupied East Jerusalem will be the capital of their future state. While you have Israeli Government and the Prime Minister publicly urging and appealing for calm, his government has done very differently, and that is why we are seeing much of the anger on the streets in many palestinian neighbourhoods, and perhaps specifically in and around the alaqsa mosque compound, which is a flashpoint. Imtiaz tyab, thank you for highlighting the dlem area and intentions over the amaxa compound dilemma and intentions over the alaqsa compound. In yemen two leaders of al qaeda have reportedly been killed. Shawki albadani and nabil aldahab were targeted in a u. S. Strike. Shawki albadani was named a global terrorist by the united states. We have this report from sanaa. Reporter sources close to al qaeda faces in bayda province told al jazeera that u. S. Drone strikes on a vehicle carrying four people, including these leaders took place late monday among the dead. There were four killed. The most important is shawki albadani, considered the leader of sharia, the local name for the al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. He was in that attack. That was in charge of al qaeda. The more important and significant figure is shawki albadani. Considered to be in charge. Al qaeda in the arabian peninsu peninsula, and is designated as a global terrorist for plots against the capital here. Its a blow for al qaeda in yemen activists say Government Forces are behind an attack near idlib province. U. S. Backed rebels lost ground with the Al Qaedalinked al nusra front gaining territory. Iraqi forces are advancing on the key Northern Oil Refinery town of baiji. The pictures show Government Troops exchanging fire with i. S. I. L. Fighters. B baiji is home to an oil refinery. Lets go to the u. S. Republicans take control of both houses of congress. That will limit what president obama can do in my final two years, at home and abroad. With a look at how the vote unfolded. The republicans need victories across the 10 Battle Ground states. So far they clinched a 7th. The states are iowa, north carolina, colorado, south dakota, arkansas and west virginia. And in kentucky Mitch Mcconnell won reelection and is likely to lead the party in the senate going forward. The democrats lost new hampshire. A run off is expected in louisiana, because the race is too close to call. Reporter a man who is likely to be the new Senate Majority leader, Mitch Mcconnell, celebrates his win in kentucky, one far easier than predicted. Tomorrow the papers will say i won this race. [ cheering and applause ] but the truth is the truth is tonight we begin another one. One that is far more important than mine. That is a race to turn the country around. Reporter a runoff was predicted in the Georgia Senate race with speculation that neither candidate could achieve a win. Georgia made it loud and clear. What was supposed to be a close race became another comfortable victory. Therell be a runoff to louisiana, and one democratic senator who will live to fight another day. Louisiana is worth fighting for. Join me. Lets get rest tonight and hit the campaign trail in the morning. God bless you all. Thank you. The republicans increased their majority in the house of representatives and took a number away from the democrats, including president obamas home state of illinois. The president could struggle to implement Foreign Policy in the face of both houses controlled by the opposition. I think theyll see an aggressive Foreign Policy, more foreign aid. The president will have less room to negotiate with the iran deal. Less room to negotiate when it comes to ukraine. And the u. S. Peace process, theyll get much mosh hawkish much more hawkish. President obama will be retrained, hell make proposition to the world but come back and work with a congress that doesnt want to vote with him. Reporter both parties were invited to the white house to discuss the new reality. Emboldened by their victory the new lords on the hill are more likely to demand president ial compromise than seek it. West African Leaders are meeting with Burkina Fasos military over a Transitional Government the the president said of nigeria, ghana and senegal are expected to try to persuade the army to hand over to civilian rule. The army took control after the president was forced to resign. We go live to the capital. What are the west African Leaders hoping to achieve . Of all the players involved in the negotiations, the region, west africa, has the most to gain or lose. Of all the interests they have their own interests. They want whoever heads the country to be someone they can work with. They will likely persuade or put pressure on isaac zida. Theyll give him incentives, offer what they choose to offer him and hope he accepts that. For the people on the ground. Theyll have mixed feelings about whether isaac zida should step down or stay. Reporter this man took part in protests that took part in the ousting of blaise compaore. Translation i broke my arm and leg. It was worth it. We got rid of blaise compaore. Im in pain, but proud of what we did. This Public Hospital doesnt have everything it needs to treat the injured. Patients are asked to bring their own supplies drips, bandages and drugs. The hospital is running low. Many families cant afford to do that. They have to rely on donations. The country and the majority of people are struggling. Many take out frustrations on the homs of those close to homes of those close to the former president. Many are here because they are curious to see how the rich lived. The more profitminded copy sensitive documents they find and plan to sell for 1 each. Many took part in the recent protests. They are divided on whether ltcol isaac zida should step down and hand over to a Transitional Government. Since 1966, this government has been ruled by military powers. Wed like, if possible, a civilian. Someone who has never ever taken a weapon. Even one day. I think he should stay, because its only for the transition period. I think he should stay. Whatever is decided, this country has a long road ahead. Forming a Transitional Government and holding lctions. Picking up the pieces is not going to be easy. The big question is if isaac zida leaves, when will it be. Some analysts say that it wont be that long. Maybe by friday or the weekend. Some say it could take longer. It could stay in power. The pig obviously a big decision depending on hymn. He knows the answer. He hasnt officially given a statement of when he intends to leave. If he does. Still to come on the Al Jazeera Newshour struggling for survival. Violence in mallee forces thousands from their homes and threatens a humanitarian crisis. Details emerge about the mexican mayor and his wife arrested over the disappearance of 43 students. In sport joe tell us which Champions League team is on the brink of the knockout stages before their progress was halted on the stroke of full time. Lets turn our attention to nigeria, where boko haram fighters appear to be gaining more territory in the northeast. The armed group suspected of being behind a string of attacks in the past few days in the last in the latest assault five soldiers have been killed in gombe state. Gunmen reportedly robbed a bang and set fire to a police station. In a neighbouring town, police launched an attempt to take back adamawa. More than 10,000 were forced to believe, and many are seeking rev yuj in yola. Reporter they fled their homes to seek better protection. What they found was less security than they hoped for. These are the latest victims of boko harams land grab in nearby nigeria. Musa and his family watched the town overrun. A town of 100,000 people. Translation at first we thought it was soldiers. Then the insurgents fired at people at the markets, and then we realised he was in trouble. Musa is reignited with a wife and child. Hes searching for the rest. Up to 10,000 people live in the camp. All around is a general sense of anxiety. People are not sure what happened next. We went to the capital looking for some place that was safe. Among the arrivals are fright end children they wandered for days before they were picked up by a bus driver. Security of the campus, a dozen officers at most, for a population of thousands. All of them lightly armed. Musa feels that nowhere else is safe from boko haram. He saw security personnel abandoning their host has he left gombe. Along the way he met six people. They fled because they were outgunned. If you see and here boko haram fire power, they wont blame you for running away. They kept to the nigerian side of the border. The military command says air assaults is the way to retake gombe, an operational base, from parts of the east. Less than 200km, the capital, many feel less secure. Some have left. Those who havent hope that the assurances of protection of government are real. Right. Lets take a closer look at the group. Boko haram has been trying to create an Islamic State in northern nigeria. And has strongholds in adamawa, yobe and borno. Little was known about the groups. It sparked an International Campaign demanding the release, shifting focus to the Nigerian Government. Many analysts say that the military used to be the strongest, weakening with soldiers declaring their position. The Government Faces an embarrassing setback when boko haram denied agreeing to a ceasefire in october. There are fears when bloodshed continues. Lets bring in our analyst, the director of viewpoint africa. He joins me live from london. Thank you for being with us. Explain to us how is it that boko haram is able to transfer itself from being bandits to a wellrun rebel army in such a short period of time. I must say that boko haram caused a problem for nigeria, and that has been down to the fact that it worked on the margins of society, areas that the Nigerian Government failed to bring about Good Governance and the youth matter. Many have not jobs. Combined with abject fear, many communities find themselves on the margins, angry with the government, not knowing how to deal with boko haram, many of the communities are scared and concerned. I think boko haram increased its popularity in the areas, and the government is not able to stop them. You say pop u latter ni. Who is popularity. Who is funding the group, and are they united . United to an extent. Boko haram is pard of the wider jihadist movement, including alshabab, i. S. I. L. , and al qaeda. Very have expressed sympathies and affiliation with the groups. The funding, blueprint, ideology and guidance comes from the other groups, and they are all connected in terms of wanting to dislodge nigeria from the counter path, and having an Islamic State, a cally fat. They caliphate. They focussed on that, and i think the Nigeria Government has not been able to retain them because of an ability to maintain recruits and intimidate fear. And in this case with the Nigerian Government. Unable to stop them. Matching them man by man from a military perspective and fire power perspective. They seem to be unstoppable. What do you think is the best way to subdue the insurgency . I think this is a generation that is clearly not coming back. More than likely wed have to ensure that the government, if its serious about his efforts to start working with the youth, making sure that the next generation doesnt join boko haram, making sure they are providing jobs and security, and for youths to be unlikely to be persuaded by groups like boko haram. If we win that war, this generation thats lost, we may be able to gain a longterm gain. Failing that, im afraid the boko haram saga, which we saw the al qaeda movement, jihadist movements continuing for some time to come. Thank you for explaining the complications of nigeria, and boko haram to us. Well there are reports of renewed violence in mali, with Government Troops battling separatist tuareg fighters. The first confrontation since the ceasefire in may. The tuareg fighters began in 2011 to establish an independent state. The following year, mallees president was deposed. In june, Al Qaedalinked groups turned on tuareg, and captured cities. Four months later a block was agreed to to free northern mali joined by the french. Fighting between al qaeda, and other groups around the town put people at risk. We have more. The town of menaka is nearly 1200km from the capital. The Central Government is nowhere to be seen in this remote region. Si six months ago the fighters for ml l. A. Were able to expend the group from here. Ml l. A. Fighters say they have another enemy in the error. We are fighting mali, but we have a war with al qaeda, which is systematically killing our fighters and targetting our people with explosions. We do the patrols to protect our land. In this multi pronged law, its the civilian population that suffers the most. Before the years of violence, these people lived in precarious conditions. This is how they moved from place to place in search of pasture for their livestock. This is the water they drink. They are happy to have it. In this form, water is hard to come buy in this region. Violence pushed thousands to flee for safety. Most ended up here in the town of menaka. The new Living Companies are not better. There are no Health Facilities here. Theres also a severe shortage of basic medicines and relief has not been coming through. Translation since the beginning of the conflict we called on many n. G. O. S and those in the gulf country to come to help. Few responded. In most cases they told us the area is insecure for them to operate. Providing an education for children is another challenge in menaka. Theres a lot of things lacking here. We dont have teachers. They have fled. Those that teach are mostly volunteers from among the local residents. The failure of peace talks in al jazeera, is making things worse. The tuareg flag is high in this part of the country. They dont seem to be closer to their ultimate goal of an independent state of their own. The head of a British Spy Agency says that Internet Companies are ignoring the way the web is used by extremist. Hannigan says tech giants like google. Facebook and twitter are in denial about groups like i. S. I. L. And al qaeda putting people on the line. Reporter to much of the world they are the icons of search, socialising, keeping billions in touch. To one of the british spy agencies, the pig tech giants are a nightmare. Impossible to keep across. The new boss is describing them as command and control. Robert hannigan says the companies are in denial about how they are used, and there needs to be greater cooperation. The problem the Security Services are facing is they are up against something never seen before. A group of fighters grown up in the digital age. I. S. I. L. Is ab
