the mediterranean. the italian navy saying some 40 people suffocated in a ship that was in distress only 40 kilometers off the libyan coast. they say that they rescued some 320 people. the captain of the italian navyshinavy ship finding suffocated people found in the hull of the ship that was in distress. yet these kinds of tragedies are hardly unusual. i'm talking to you about the ship from the

performing a role that european government are not. >> that was barnaby phillips. >> claims that some refugees are not getting preferential treatment. >> it's unclear who started it, but there was no holding back. anger, frustration and suspicion boiled over under the intensity of the summer sun. many have come hoping to get the papers to allow them to leave for the mainland where the police

people have been killed in a series of bombings in baghdad. some of the victories her--some of the victims from an explosion from a car. more than a hundred were injured in the explosion. these are terrible pictures of the injuries inflicted upon innocent people. tell us what happened. >> yes, this is being described as horrific attacks underscoring the situation as far as the security remains. let me run through the separate attacks for our viewers right now. the first attack happened in a car show. this is the shia neighborhood in eastern baghdad. 12 killed in that attack and 40 injured. a second attack, a roadside bomb targeting commercial shops in western baghdad. three killed in that attack. the third attack, this was a roadside bomb targeting commercial shops southeast of baghdad. two killed in that attack. a fourth attack, another roadside bomb targeting another commercial area and a fifth attack, a roadside bomb targeting a car repair shop. just showing how much th how bad the security remains. showing the aftermath of the car bomb attacks nobody as of yet can claim these attacks. security really has been stepped up here in the capital, that's one reason why people are so concerned saying despite the attack there are attempt securities these bombs are going off and causing concern in the capital. >> thank you. highly toxic chemicals have been decided in the port city of tianjin. multiple explosions so powerful they have knocked over heavy shipping containers. the death toll now in the hundred. the warehouse near the blast site restoring 700 tons of sodium cyanide. people nearby have been moved and fire specialists have been sent in. officials deny reports that people were forced to wear face masks. >> today i saw n that people within two kilometers of where the event happened would be evacuated. i saw a string of these announcements. we found out the situation with the emergency teams at the scene. this information is not tweet. there are no plans to evacuate people. at present there are no plans to evacuate people. >> extraordinarily there are still survivors being pulled from the republic after those explosions. this man discovered amid crumbled shipping containers that we just saw there were burns and internal injuries and is said to be in stable condition now. a 19-year-old firefighter has been found alive but badly injured. at least 21 of those killed in the blast were firefighters. ththere have been significant gains against houthi rebels. they have taken control of the headquarters in the country's third largest city taiz. and they say that they now fully control the province in the south of the country. that means that the pro government forces control five provinces in the south. we have the latest. >> taking control. government fighters recaptured the main security buildings in the city of taiz. it's yet another victory for president abd rabbuh mansur ha hadi's fighters. they've been able to defeat houthi rebels and soldiers loyal to former president ali abdullah saleh in recent days. on saturday they announced they had managed to expel the houthis and their allies from shabwa after similar victories earlier this week. these fighters are not content. they say they'll continue their fight until they're in full control of yemen. >> we're in constant contact with the other resistant fighters. we're all working together to cleanse taiz and will focus our attention on the government of ibb. >> the destruction caused by the fighting is clear. almost every building appears to be damaged. momentum has been on the side of pre-government forces since they recaptured the port city of ad aden. they have provided armor personnel carriers, weapons and logistical support to the forces. but with all of this destruction and extreme poverty faced by most people here it's still not clear who will help rebuild the homes and lives of yemenis when all of this is over. al jazeera. >> well, on behalf of the houthis, and spokesperson told al jazeera that there has been tactical withdraw. >> they put out and also aden provinces. this is a tactical withdraw with the purposes of redeployment and popular forces. this was mandated by the conditions on the ground simply for the reason that aggression managed to propagate misleading campaign. they commit the opportunity from al-qaeda. now responsible for maintaining security, the southern movement known as iraq, we feel that ic isil and al qaeda will come in the areas that we've pulled out from. >> why germany's pulling out from turkey. >> ten years after israel withdrew all of its settlers we'll hear from palestinians and israelis how the effect is still being felt today. >> we'll have sport if you stay with us. >> a cease-fire on two fronts have been violated with more fighting. the government retaliated by attacking damascus. we're developing developments in syria from across the border in lebanon. >> the main rebel movement involved in these negotiations saying it will no longer abide by the cease-fire and the negotiations are now over. a few days ago a cease-fire was reached these are two the shia villages, there was another demand, and that was not just the fighters that they would have to leave, but the civilians as well. for the opposition changing the demography. they're saying that they would not accept this. so these negotiations were really up precedented. we've seen people displaced from one area to another, and we've seen the different parties trying to carve out different zones, but this would be a deliberate agreement to swap populations, allow the shias, who are in idlib. they've been holding out even though much of idlib province is now with the rebels. they would leave, and the sunni population lead to the north. now they say the negotiations are over, and what they're expecting for the knew days are battles in both these areas. >> germany withdrawing defense batteries and 250 soldiers from turkey. they were sent to protect turkey from attacks by syria. germany deployed the anti-missile wells in 2013. they were intended to shield turkey were cross-border missiles and syrian military aircraft. the decision was made because of the threat of missile attacks from syria having diminished. well, joining us now via internet is th, do you believe the germans when they say this is because the threat is less or are they reacting to the intensity of the turkish strikes on pkk targets? >> germany is an opposition they have been urging the german government zoo from the german opposition we know that they're not happy with turkey attacking the pkk hide outs. i am proportionately. not in a proportionate manner. and there is anger. turkey has been using it's only single attack on isil so, the german decision as far as we can understand is more based on anger because of the turkey has been using extreme power in its attacks on the pkk. >> what do they say despite that, you say that the german political will seems to be against having them there because of what is happening with the pkk. can you say that the threat has lessened since the attacks coming from the border are now directed at isil rather than the syrian military? >> yes, when they agreed to attack on turkish soil, there would be assad forces to turkey rather than the deployment of turkish soil was the solidarity with the ally. >> so having withdrawn that particular friendship, will it damage the relationship between turkey and germany, and possibly turkish morale in a difficult situation with regarding what is happening over the border. >> the turkish-german relations, yes, it will be effected. they will be concerned when germany decided to withdraw as of january 2016, the turkish request in 2012, and it was deployed in 2013. turkey feeling more secure, and now we don't know what the americans and spain will do. their decision we don't know yet. >> thank you very much, indeed. we appreciate you coming on. >> you're welcome. >> a sunni cleric wanted for attacks on the sunni army has been arrested. authorities say that he had undergone surgery to change his appearance. he is in charge of forming a terror organization and inciting violence against the army. police investigating whether a string of 18 murders on sao paulo on thursday night could have been a coordinated act of revenge by off-duty officers. the same cars were noticed at the sites of multiple shootings within a ten kilometer radius within a 10 hour period. two police officers were killed in the area last week. police are responsible for more than 2,000 death as year in brazil where off-duty officers rarely face prosecution for dishing out vigilante acts. several villages around th around the volcano has been evacuated. corruptions were recorded on friday. an island in southern japan has been evacuated. it is 50 kilometers from a nuclear reactor, and has just been restarted. people living around that area began to leave after the threat alert was raised to an unprecedented level. last year 63 died when a volcano in central japan erupted unexpectedly. marking the end of world war ii 70 years after japan's surrender. in tokyo the japanese e japanese emporer spoke regrets. >> thehe did not find out about japan's cease-fire until two days after. the cadet serving in china said that his naive gave way to reality of war. he saw soldiers fight and kill chinese civilians. his war would last two years beyond the surrender as a prisoner in siberia. >> i myself did not kill an enemy or participate in a combative act. they abused and humiliated it's people. i was a member. it was a military aggression. >> 70 years on today the message was one of peace and condolence. >> reflecting on our pass and bearing in mind the dealings of deep remorse i earnestly hope that the ravages of war will never be repeated together with all of our people. i now pay our heartfelt tribute to all of those who lost their lives. >> japan's prime minister pledged that his nation would never repeat the horse of war. but shinzo abe didn't as predecessors have use this occasion to talk of suffering done t. in south korea where this anniversary is known as liberation day bringing to end japanese colonial rule, that was noticed. they called on japan to show up holding of previous apologies through its actions. china's foreign minute very said that abe had been evasive on the issue of military aggression and should have made apologies to the victim countries. neither beijing nor seoul would have been impressed that shinzo abe sent a cash offering to a shrine where 14 war criminals are honored. they want to give japan the right, not just to defend itself but also it's allies as a naturalized nation in the 21st century. the problem is the past he wants to move beyond is still hugely divisive at home and in japan's relationship with its neighbors. they would free up pacifist operations, but moving forward is his cause and he's determined to press on. >> in the u.k. the prime minister and the royal family led tributes to those lost in the conflict. most of the former soldiers are now in their 90s. simon mcgregor wood reports now from central london. >> the day began with the queen attending a religious service with veterans of the fighting and prime minister david camer cameron. later in what is known as horse guard's parade there was the usual pomp and ceremony at an outside ceremony led by prison charles. air force planes, old and new, flew over head. this was a chance to remember the 70,000 british soldiers who died fighting the japanese and pay tribute to those who survived. >> grow not old as we that are left grow old. age shall not weary them nor the years condemn. >> the soldiers who fought the war in the far east are referred to as the forgotten army. the legacy of their sacrifice was far more complex than those who defeated nazi germany in europe. and this being the 70th anniversary of victory in the far east will be the last chance for many of them to tell their story. >> supporting british troops running a canteen near the front line. her husband, peter, now dead, was a prisoner of war. >> it has brought back a lot of memories which were tucked away. i'm really glad to be here. it's just the last time i shall do anything like this. >> the fighting in japan seemed remote. it was fought in far-off colonial outposts in defense of imperial possessions. it had little impact on the home front. today the resentment of the japanese behavior in the war has been largelyover come. this was a chance for those still alive to go to the public for a bitter struggle some believe never received the recognition that it deserved. al jazeera, london. >> still to come, you're watching the al jazeera news hour. stay with us. seeing red. anger spilling out on the streets of guatemala. undermining the internet, the battle to protect online privacy, and how some companies have made it their core business. and hit with a sport. we'll tell but a historic match on the west bank that is finally taking place. >> [crowd chanting] hell no gmo. >> they're slamming a technology that could be used to solve problems for people who desperately need it. >> they get exited about technology whether it's in their phone or in their car, so why is it so weird on their plate? >> something's going into food that shouldn't really be there. >> techknow investigates. >> you could not pay me to fake data. >> top stories here on al jazeera news hour. the italian navy rescued hundreds of people from a boat off the libyan coast. 40 were found dead and thought to have been suffocated in the hull. at least 21 people are killed in a number of roadside bombings in baghdad. more than a hundred from hurt. so far no groups have said its behind the attacks. commemorative events marking the 70s anniversary in the surrender of japan at the end of world war ii. japan has been on the receiving end of some criticism of neighboring countries where it's felt that apologies have been too little, too late. there was anger in particular when the prime minister shinzo abe fell short of issuing a new apology on friday. for many japanese their country was a victim as well as a perpetrator, saying that the united states have never apologized for dropping atomic bombs killing hundreds of civilians. there have been repeated german apologies from nazi rule. can you characterize between what the germans as a nation have said about world war ii, and what the japanese as a nation have said. >> yes, a and i think that pretty much puts the finger on it. the japanese have been doing contrasts so differently with the german people as a whole have been doing. when we talk about apologies it's rarely a matter of hearing one particular form of words or another. people looking to see the perpetrator and nation so to speak is engaging in serious way in which it's past atrocities for which it may have been responsible. now the germans not just the particular leadership but german people, society, historians have been doing this in a very serious way, indeed, for the last 40 years at least. they even have a long german word for it. where memory is coming to grips with the past. when they offer a word of apology, it is taken seriously as reflecting his or her people as they have been doing. that really isn't the case with japan. japan has made many apologies over the years, dozens of them. but because the international community does not see it reflecting any kind of serious engagement on the part of the japanese people or their civil society with what has done in the 30s and 40s, it doesn't seem to carry any weight with them. >> japan has said sorry. but the difficulty here is while the old expression the sins of the father are visited on the suns, are they to some extent right that they should not be visited on the son's sons and the son's son's sons, there is a time to say, we've already done it. >> well, there is a different announcation to be made between guilt and responsibility. nobody who didn't participate in these events can be found guilty of them, but no one the less the deeds occurred and history is very different as a result especially for japan's neighbors, who were brutalized quite horribly by the actions of the japanese nation. so if there is not guilt, there is still responsibility to remember, to engage, to debate, to take this kind of thing seriously rather than do the absolute minimum necessary to get people off their back. >> would you expect that the horrors committed that japan has been singled out for the need of an apology on many occasions when so many other countries, we're not just talking about germany but other nations involved in mass slaughter over the last hundred years, maybe last 300-400 years are not required to do the same thing. >> i think that's a fair point. and even you even look at the countries that are in east asia pressing for an apology or a particular form of apology, the chinese government has apologized and countries over the century that have done dreadful things, it's rarely a question of standing up in a formal way and making a formal apology, it's more of a question whether a society has the ability to look into its own soul, so to speak, to engage with its own past without self defenseness or apologetics and really look at what has been responsible for. >> when helmet kohl knelt down in front of the warsaw ghetto without saying anything, his silence was taken as there is nothing i can say and i'm a witness to it by my silence as well almost drawing a line of what germany had done. what could japan do, it's emperor, it's prime minister, it's people could do to bring this to some kind of conclusion. >> i think what would make a difference is people seeing, for example, the japanese ministry of education not taking the extraordinarily descriptive view of school text books. people seeing journalists and historians, intellectuals not receiving threats from ultra nationals when they dare to take a revisionist view of this kind of thing. there is a great deal that japan could do that would reassure other countries that the international community in general will come to grips with what ancestors have been involved in. >> as you point out, it was billy branton and not helmut kohl. thank you. >> under the initiative of then prime minister aerial sharon, at least 9,000 israelis were relocated from gaza a and in some cases with the use of force. the loss of israeli forces and security personnel but israel continues to manage all aspects of life in the territory deciding who can enter or leave, and the control it has over gaza's air space and coastal waters. >> there is no shortage of work to do in these fields. every day they cultivate the land growing fruit and vegetables. this man is one of them. he said up until ten years ago he never would have believed he would be able to grow his own crops here. back then this was a large israeli st.. settlement. it was home for hundreds of israelis and a large military presence and off limits to most palestinians. all that is left are a few disused buildings. and while he said he's happy the settlers and soldiers let me as part of israel's so-called disengagement of the gaza strip, he's angry at how things are now. >> which live--we live in a big prison. the israelis control everything. we palestinians deserve dignity. >> although israelis withdrew from the gaza strip, israel's government never managed to truly disengage without a political settlement with the palestinians it exerted it's control over gaza and it's people through its economic siege and violence. the so-called disengagement of gaza sharply divided society at the time when the deadline to leave expired in 2005 israelis were removed sometimes by force. this woman was one of them. she describes why she stayed as ideological reasons. she said many who were forced to leave still have not been able to rebuild their lives. >> i'm angry with my government who didn't know how to cope with the hardships of people. people are still living in temporary house ten years after. [ explosion ] >> that anger is square shadowed by what is called the so-called disengagement. after israel pulled out hamas won a landslide victory in th the 2006 election and took over afterwards. the israeli government's continuing blockade has crippled gaza's economy and making reconstruction almost impossible. they say they're not sure how much more suffering they can endure they're happy that the settlers are gone. >> the man and woman who could very well be the next winners of the presidential campaign is out. they're both in iowa with a rare moment of unity where they lashed out at the republican hopeful jeb bush's recent comments on iraq. jeb bush suggesting that obama's administration's policies withdrawing from iraq created instability that caused the rise of isil. >> i find it somewhat curious that jeb bush is doubling down on defending his brother's actions in iraq. but if he's going to do that, he should present the entire picture and the entire picture, as you know, includes the agreement that george w. bush made with the al maliki government in iraq that set the end of 2011 as the date to withdraw american troops. that was done under george w. bush. >> you know, he made statements over the last couple of days that are incredible, trying to justify the war in iraq, that cannot be justified. then he said the united states has to prove to iraq that we have skin in the game. we spent 2 trillion-dollar, thousands of lives lost, wounded warriors who i love all over the place, and he said we have to prove that we have skin in the game. i think it may be one of the dumbest statements i ever heard. skin in the game. we don't have to prove anything. >> people of guatemala going to the polls to elect a new president, but a number of corruption scandals are over shadowing that vote. we have reports from guatemala. >> hundreds of people take to the streets to show their political colors. elections are less than a month away, and supporters of the opposition leader party are out to rally new recruits. campaign signs boast of honesty, transparency and honor, slogans that compete for voters' attention. >> but these election elections are overshadowed by guatemala's biggest political crisis. at the root of this crisis government corruption. over the past four months guatemalan politicians have faced corruption scandals. several high level officials were arrested and top cabinet ministers including the vice president, lost their jobs. the head of the united nations backed commission whose investigations led to the probes said criminal groups often gain a foothold during campaigning. >> corruption is the root of the political financing. this has created inclusion of organized crime. >> bringing months of anti-corruption protests, the biggest demonstrations that the country has seen in decades. 13% of guatemalans trust political parties, the protests are a sign that guatemalans are waking up to the political power. >> what has happened since april shows an important growth in people's participation in public affairs. something absolutely necessary. a citizenry that is active in the fight against corruption and impunity for better political inclusion. >> on september 6th guatemalans will vote for the men and women who will lead their country for the next four years. many say that the potential for change has rarely been so close. david mercer, al jazeera, guatemala. >> now a collection of online data from people worldwide has proved valuable to all kinds of businesses. it's also raised concerns, understandably, about people's privacy. as part of our series cracking the code, tom ackerman looks at protecting privacy online. >> this monitor from nike prides lots of personal information, not only for its user. >> you can see what your friends are doing, compare with them and share your progress with them. >> that device is just one example of how inter connected we've become. and how the personal data collected from hundreds of millions of people have proven valuable to all kinds of businesses. >> companies are creating single universal eidurs to attract consumers across multiple devices to connect their online, e-mail and digital interactions. >> aside from targeting their advertising, the monitoring can help consumers make smarter buying choices but many see a serious down side. >> it's also totally under the hood, and we as a society really have no idea about what's going on, what control we have, and down the line what the implications are going to be. >> a recent survey found when it comes to online activity three in four american adults say they're not confident or not at all confident that website advertisers will keep their browsing activity private and secure. that concern is drawing millions of people to companies like ghostery. it let's consumers track the trackers, identify who has been watching their online searches and then if they choose, to block that data. >> ghostry does not block anything by default. it's so enable consumers to see how they're being tracked and then make their own decisions. >> national security agencies whistle blower edward snowdon said that he use it is to prevent anyone from tracking his own online activity. but the popularity is proving a threat to web publics who depend on ad clicks. there is some software that will block readers from trying to block their ads. ghostry ceo said that would be a bad idea. privacy is subjective and dependent on the situation. what any one person would say is a dangerous privacy situation someone else could find not to be a big deal. >> big deal or not, big data's continued growth is bound to make its treatment of privacy an issue for anyone who touches the internet. tom ackerman, al jazeera, washington. >> we've got lee coming up in just a moment. let's see if we can find him. we've got the sport. the man back from eight month ban on doping could be on top of the world pretty soon. >> here he is,
