Those infected by the ebola virus are flown to germany for treatment. Also, in venice for the worlds oldest Film Festival. Who will take the top prize . Hello, an open ended ceasefire and so far its holding. After enduring seven weeks of fighting in which 2,000 people in gas were killed the process of rebuilding lives and homes has begun. We start with day one of the truce, th they had this to say. I can say that military achievement, a big one, and also a very big achievement for israel. Hamas has been hit very hard and did not receive any one of the it asked in the ceasefire. Paying tribute to the families killed in conflict. They are all our symbols. They are the symbols of our victory. They are the symbols of our glory, and they are the symbols of the dignity of our people and of our nation. Of course, it was widespread relief on both sides of the conflict that there is still skepticism that peace everlasting an. I dont know what to do. I dont know where i should go. If the ceasefire works, i think its a good thing. Everyone is tired and needs to rest and get back to a normal life. Im so happy. Many houses were destroyed, and many people face trauma, but thank god this is the end of the war. Were not going have peace. Its a joy for all palestinians people ending the aggression against gaza, ending the aggression against children and the innocents. We dedicate this victory to the wounded and martyr who is were sacrificed for this victory. Well hear from Andrew Simmons in gaza in just a moment, but first list go to jerusalem. What he said today will it be enough to persuade those who were critical to the decision to end this . Well, theres nothing particularly new in the remarks that the Prime Minister made a short while ago. He reiterated his view that israel had achieved its military aims. He claimed that hamas has been silenced and its ability to threaten israel momentarily has been seriously removed. He also claimed that it was a political victory. In the end hamas preconditions had not been met, and in the end hamas accepted the ceasefire without preconditions. Nevertheless there are plenty of doubts in israel about just what was a achieved during these 50 days of fighting, and people now are beginning to count the longerterm costs of this war. Reporter a shopping mall, and business is slow. The few tourists we met were either jewish or people who like adventure. I feel this is the safest place in the world despite whats happening, and i brought my family to show israel that were with them. Im not afraid. I love to travel. Reporter these visitors bring in vital foreign currency. Even if the immediate thing just passed as long as people perceive there is a threat they will stay away. That can affect israel not just this year but also next. Tourism is the life blood of the israeli economy. Pilgrims of all religions come to the old city while some worshipers head to the beach. While for more tourists war is the ultimate turn off. I used to make 5,000 shekels a month. This was last june. Then after that tourism started dying. Like my july pay was 2,000 shekels, and this month its completely did. I hardly made 500 shekels. Israelis are taking stock of whats been achieved after 50 days of conflict. The images of killing and destruction from the gaza strip have tarnished the countrys reputation. Israel came out as the goliath, as the superpower that is like the elephant that is fighting a fly, and not even succeeding. Israelis satisfaction with their Prime Minister has dropped dramatically. In july 23rd, 82 said they approved of his performance. On august 25th with the conflict dragging on only 38 said they were satisfied. So a few days at rest before the end of the summer break. Its only a breviaries spite. Palestinian and israelis will have to grapple with the biggest issues they have failed to address. If they fail to agree many fear that the days of quiet will be short lived. Youre suggesting what is next that everyone is looking at. What are the next steps in indirect negotiations . Yes, the ceasefire now is a larger reflection that both sides are tired of fighting, but in itself has kicked those thorny core issues that stand between the two parties into the long grass. Those issues, those preconditions that Prime Minister netanyahu had been talking about, claiming that it wants an airport and sea potter and transfer money for salaries for Palestinian Government workers, official workers in gaza, and also it wants a release of prisoners. These are demands that for now have been put on ice but theyre going to come back and haunt negotiators once these indirect talks begin. On the israeli side as well although Prime Minister netanyahu is trying to present this as a military victory, of course his detacters are saying that gaza has not been demilitarized. This period of calm, these several weeks can merely provide a cover. A re respite in which they can actually start to rearm again. So its the issues of the military stage of gaza. Who ultimately will be in charge of security in ga gaza . Will it be hamas or the Palestinian Authority . And hamas approved access to the gaza strip. And these are issues that the negotiators could never agree on before. Its understandable that people in israel are skeptical about the chances of reaching an agreement on these issues when, in fact, talks do resume in a months time. Thank you very much, indeed. In gaza city, were joined now. We heard from the israeli Prime Minister that he thinks that hamas and the other groups didnt get anything out of the ceasefire. Presumably thats not how they see it there at all, is it . No, it isnt. There has not been an official response from hamas or the palestinian factions yet, but this would have been expected. As jackie was saying there is nothing really new in what netanyahu was saying. As far as hamas was concerned it is continuing to push the line that this effectively was a victory for them at great cost for palestinians here, for their losses, their sacrifices. There is really a feeling of relief here there is a level of calm that is more than 24 hours since the fighting stopped. There was an extraordinary celebration overnight with so many people on the streets celebrating. But quietly, privately, in so many quarters of the gaza strip people were mourning still really in a state of shock remaining that way with more than 1200 dead, the vast majorities of them civilians. This is how it was playing out today. After the celebration a rally of a city in ruins. The leadership would believe its become more popular in the wake of the sevenweek war and dismisses any suggestion that it has made concessions. What do you say to the israeli claim that you accepted now what you rejected a month ago. Its not true. What happened before they wanted us to negotiate for months and years without any time constraints or guarantees. But this time before we even sit down to the negotiating table again the israelis have agreed to lift the blockade, extend fishing rights and ease restrictions on goods coming in to gaza. The. The principles are presenti palestinians are presenting the ceasefire as a military victory while israel is trying the same tactic. But as both sides are claiming victory this is the harsh reality on the ground. Families return to what remains of their homes, trying to work out what to do next. The United Nations estimates without new lifting of restrictions right across the board it would take Something Like 15 years to rebuild the gaza strip. Its thought around half a Million People have lost their homes. It is not clear how many difference the easing of israels blockade will make of the supply of Building Materials and humanitarian support. This man has lost a business and family home. He thinks it will take more than a year to clear the site before he can think of rebuilding. In gaza city businessmen look at all that remains of the big investment in a supermarket. Made only a month before the war. He says he understands why palestinians must claim a victory after such sacrifice. But he isnt optimistic about the latest agreement being any more successful than the last two wars. Another war is coming. We will struggle again and them attack us again. Still we greed. Whats been achieved in this truce appears remarkably similar to the agreement after the last war that ended only as it months ago. Thiagoonly 21 months ago and this deal could be more fragile than the last one. That is the situation. It has to be said that there may be celebrations here. They may say mission accomplished. At the end of the day the two sides have agreed to talk indirectly. Thats all that has been achie achieved. No one is sure exactly highways going to happen, and that 2008 that 20082009 deal, the 2012 deal, now this deal, it is still an open question in the air. Can israel come to terms with the palestinians in gaza, and an agreement, can they lift the blockade completely . Can they allow a sea port, an air terminal . Thats the key question. It has not been addressed yet, and it wont be for another four weeks. Live from gaza city, thank you. Now the u. N. Security Council Voted to target militia and political supporters include asset freezes, travel bans and arms i a embargoes on groups listed and drawn up.

This nation has seen many, many ups and downs, and those groups who would threaten us because theyre losing power, their threats will be short lived. Reporter the drawn out process is effecting every day life here. It is effecting the economy. The impact on the economy, on security, has been devastating, and the Afghan Government coffers are empty, and the taliban have been attacking and making progress.

They feel whoever becomes president was elected unfairly. Jennifer glasse, al jazeera, kabul. In sierra leone a Health Worker was infected with ebola, in a country where 400 people have died of the virus the number of ebola cases and deaths are being under estimated. The latest figures from last week show 607 cases and 406 deaths in guinea since it began in march. In liberia, 1082 cases and 624 have died. And in sierra leone, there have been 910 cases and 392 deaths, and in nigeria there have. 16 cases and five deaths. Th another blow in the fight against ebola. One of just two labs used by the who have been closed after a medic caught the fire russ. 240 healthcare workers in the region have been infected. Half have so far died. The u. N. Said the outbreak is having a devastating affect on poorly resourced health systems. Heavy death toll among Health Workers depletes one of the most vital assets in the control of any outbreak as who estimates in the three hardesthit countries only one to two doctors are left to tree hundreds of people. In nigeria the reopening of Prime Minister and secondary schools have been delayed a month due to outbreak. They say they have the situation under control. The ebola infection is not a death sentence. There have been several confirmed cases here in lagos. They may or may not have an impact with a number of cases weve seen. Its unlikely to be effective. Although it may provide some reassurance to the population that something is being done. There is no proven treatment or vaccine for the virus but a few people have been given doses of the untested drug zmapp. How effective its been is unclear. The u. N. Said its exploring wider use of this and other unproven treatments. We have certain experimental drugs. It has not been tested properly on the ebola virus. Weve had talks with companies and we have talks with the union Rights Groups to explore the use of the drug in the fight of the virus. The outbreak has killed 114 people in west africa with you it is not yet under control. Even when it is contained the u. N. Said the affect wil effect will be continued to be pelt for years to come with so many dedicated Health Workers lost to the virus. Were joined by Oliver Johnson from london. Hes working with ebola patients in freetown in sierr sierra leone. There are only one or two laboratories testing for ebola in sierra leone. We have this tension of duty of care for our staff, but also staying and helping in response to the outbreak. I understand that who said its a very difficult decision, but obviously to leave that region without support is a challenge. I know who will do Everything Possible to get a team back out there as soon as possible but also to make sure that the staff will be safer. Is it your impression that one quote from the director of communications at who is that its Health Workers get infected and it scares off other Health Workers were coming, is that a Fair Assessment . Have you gotten word from other colleagues that they would not like to come out and help . I any what were seeing, its one of the only team still on the front line. They said that their staff can only be there in an advisory capacity. That sends a very challenging message to staff. How can you say to a doctor or nurse. You should go to the isolation room, but were not willing to go there. You think we have a hugemaking sure that th we have the right supplies. We lost you but got you back. How are things going in sierra leone in terms of getting the Public Health messages out so people dont get infected. Is that improving at all . First we found that people didnt believe that ebola was real so they didnt wan to come to hospital. Then they found that it was real, but they didnt want to be quarantined or exposed to other patients. I think thats real question. Are hospitals ready and equipped to and the number of patients that will be coming through the doors. Thats what were facing today. Michael what immediate support would help you . More doctors and nurses. The practitioners, many government hospitals have no support at all. We need more organizations and more funding from the organizations to work on the front lines. Also more supplies. The government is doing as much as it can but not enough is brought in the country by who. We need to turn on the tap on supplies that are a constant challenge. We appreciate your time. Thank you. Now, an independent body at the United Nations has accused Syrian Government forces and opposition fighters in particular the Islamic State group of committing war crimes. They set out a long and damning list of atrocities. They accuse the International Community for failing to protect the innocent of the war. [ explosion ] reporter for three and a half years syria and its people have been torn apart. Almost 200,000 people dead, many of them civilians, and millions forced from their homes. Fleeing the bombs, the gunfire, the reported atrocities. There have been little free and fear reporting of syrias civil war. The risks to journalists enormous. The release of an independent investigation into syrias conflict presents one of the clearest pictures of what syrians have endured, and its not a pretty picture. Syrian Government Forces are accused of deliberately targeting civilians systematically committing murder, rape and torture. In one example forced truces are followed by mass disappearances, deaths and detention. But the Syrian Governments Prime Minister adversary in its civil war, the Islamic State group, is found to be equally capable. Committing atrocities to generate widespread fear. This will have children often imprisoned. Crimes are committed each day from all parties, and to nobod nobodys dealing with criminality. Reporter the report highlights the plight of children across the area, killed and injured at the hands of Government Forces and the active roles in combat. [ explosion ] reporter then there are other barrel bombs. The United Nations accuses the Syrian Government using agents.

America tonight only on Aljazeera America the people of gaza are counting the cost of seven weeks of fighting as an openended ceasefire with israel continues to hold. Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu will respond vigorously against gaza if the truss is not observed. In afghanistan Abdullah Abdullah said that the process is flawed. We have reports of gazas effort toss rebuild both lives and environment. Much of gaza was restored. The morning after the peace was returned here the dust was literally settling. 1. 8million gazaens are now observing the worst war damage theyve seniorsed. It should an boon time for Cement Factory owner, but his business was badly hit. First we must rebuild the factory. Were waiting for the border to reopen so we can get materials. Importing such items have been heavily restricted by israel throughout the siege. Part of the ceasefire deals involves easing such deals so that reconstruction can begin. But the same thing was promised in the 2012 ceasefire. They were rarely far reaching enough to make construction any easier. Money from the spectacular community will be needed to rebuild gaza, but this wont be the first time. Again, again, they have been bombed by israel when conflicts break down. The multi Million Dollar initiative paid for by the International Community, there is the airport, beyond that is the runway. It opened in 1998, but it was onlied for a few years before it was bombed by the israelis, and it has never been functional since. Three times over the past year, they have gone through reconstruction after conflicts. But this time is the last time they say. This must be the last time that repairing gaza. Even before the war there were plenty of things to do here. 62 without work. Young people without hope. And 95 without possible water.

There has long been little destructiodis destruction. We confiscated arms from arabs who dont have licenses. We cant film outside because the Islamic State group is on that bridge.
