indonesia. tomorrow an appeals court takes up the case. from the horrific to the heartwarming. the stories that mattered most. our special report, 2014, a closer look. as this year draws to a close so does the war in afghanistan for u.s. led nato forces there. a combat mission that began 13 years ago officially comes to an end today but the fighting goes on as afghanistan continues to face attacks from within. al jazeera's jennifer glasse has more from kabul. >> in 2007, helman province was filled with nato fighters. they had been there for six years. nato troops walked a delicate line in a country suspicious of strangers. >> sort of a double edged sword there could be enemy in there but at the same time reassure the locals we are not there to hurt them or harm them. >> another part of the nato mission was to get rid of opium poppy crops. 13 years and spending $7.5 billion later the opium crop is bigger than ever and the crop employs more than the military forces. while there are 375,000 afghan security forces they are struggling against a resurge entent taliban. the eunlts has united nations has only been keeping track since 2008, but for afghan forces this has been about the worst year yet about 13 soldiers and people die every day. ieds it makes hard for the u.n. to guard against them. >> we don't have enough equipment to get rid of ieds or early warning like icms. we are doing better but suicide attacks ieds is the biggest weapon lost to us. the taliban says the fighting isn't over. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> translator: this war will continue until america and the west completely leaves afghanistan. changing the name or a title is not important for us. as long as the foreign forces are in our country we will continue fighting. >> reporter: and the afghans bear the brunt of that fighting. a doctor in helmut, says not only do the fighters need training many of them are heroin users. >> more than 50% of the police are addicted. how can we be secure in the future? >> this time, the taliban has taken swaths of territory across afghanistan and taliban is reestablishing. jennifer glasse, al jazeera kabul. >> the united states released five more detainees from guantanamo. libby casey has the details. >> no details on security with the country of kazakhstan. these people were geared for release nearly five years ago and they were only being let go now. in the past there have been concerns about tunisia because of persecution and yemen because of enemies there. the man who's served for past 18 months as the obama administration's point-person on guantanamo recently said that 90% of detainees being released were never even suspected of doing something wrong in the first place. well, it's taken longer than expected to release some of these men. one complication is that that special envoy for guantanamo bay, cliff sloane, recently resigned complicated future releases. there are 60 prisoners at guantanamo bay who have been signed off for release so we'll see what 2015 brings for them. political complications have made it tougher to see individuals sent away from the prison. republican push-back even among the democratic ranks as well and strife in president obama's own team. the outgoing defense secretary has wanted to slow down the process of releasing prisoners. the white house has wanted to see it sped up and moved forward. president obama saying he still holds to his pledge of trying to close down guantanamo before he leaves office in two years. >> libby casey reporting. heavy seas and bad weather hamper the rescue efforts in the java sea. but now officials say they have located the wreckage. it was on its way from indonesia to singapore with it was lost in bad weather. 10 vas -- step vasson is there . >> airasia crash of december 28th that weather and large waves south of borneo. >> the transport of the bodies from the ship to the mainland is very difficult. that's why the ship has come to the harbor which is much more time consuming than removing them from the open sea. >> bodies have returned to surabaya, many yet have to be recovered. 90 relatives have supplied data and dna records to help with the identification process. out of respect for the victims and their residents the government has asked people to tone down their new year's celebrations. >> in east java we will all pray for the victims so they can rest in peace and those left behind so they can accept this terrible loss. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> reporter: relatives of the victims held their own ceremony at surabaya airport. some still hoping for a miracle. prayers also for better weather conditions at the crash site. so the recovery process can be speeded up in the next few days and the victims can be reunited with their grieving families. step fasson surabaya, aljazeera. >> passengers waiting to be rescued snapped these aboard the greek owned ferry. flames and clouds of black smoke drifting towards helicopters as they hoisted people to safety. the fire killed ten 98 people are still unaccounted for. palestinian leader mahmoud abbas is trying another tactic. mr. abbas has asked to join the international criminal court. one day after a resolution was turned down to set a day for palestineian release from occupation. >> whether to accept the signed treaty from president abbas. he may consult the u.n. general assembly, it will then take 60 days before the jurisdiction of the international criminal court over palestine. we assume the 1967 borders will come into force. so that would probably be the first of march. but that doesn't then start a case. a case, an investigation can only be started one of three ways. either a referral from the u.n. security council that's not going to happen, the u.s. is going to veto, or the chief prosecutor of the international criminal court could start her own investigation or the third way is that palestine itself requests an investigation. so in many ways, president abbas has played the first of his cards but he has another one up his sleeve. >> james bays in london. in just a few hours a panel of egyptian judges will hear an appeal from the three al jazeera journalists. peter greste, boax baher mohamed and mohamed fahmy were convicted. and whether legal procedures were followed during that trial the three journalists have spent more than a year in prison. al jazeera denies the charges and continues to demand their release. here in new york hundreds of thousands of people are outside braving the cold just a few blocks from our studios. right now they are crammed into times square where the new year's ball will drop in less than four hours and our lucky john terret is out there with them. >> good evening paul from times square and hello from me and a million of new best friends. i'm

country crossover artist, she's here, those who have been waiting 14 hours just to see her. frank if you can pan down to the revelers, you can see them packing in here tightly. many have been here since 8:00 this morning. the remarkable thing is they can't go anywhere, there are no bathrooms, any port apotties or anything, they have to stand and enjoy the entertainment, if they have to leave they can't get back in. the nypd is on alert to try to make this a very safe evening. we are told there have been threats against officers after the shooting of two policemen in brooklyn on the

[applause] >> the beijing bound jet was last heard from at 1:30 saturday morning. then air traffic controllers outside kuala lumpur lost contact, thinking the plane lost track here. but there was conflicting reports about the plane's route it's possible the plane turned around and traveled 350 miles in a public health different completely different direction over the straight of malacca. >>

legislation was needed, many in the middle class will pay more. for the program to be fiscally sound, large numbers of young healthy people need to sign up. >> this is it for anyone who doesn't have medical insurance and can't afford it. this clinic is the only way and unfortunately it is the only one here in our area. >> the avalanche that killed at least 13 sherpas last week has changed everything. there is so much anger in the sherpa community that many are insisting on closing the mountain for rest of the year. the disaster is the worst loss of life ever on the mil mountain. >> translator: the entire sherpa community has been hit by the death of the sherpas. but the government has so far provided little or no relief for families. even if the government gives a small percentage of aid it would mean a lot to the communities. >> now calling off their plans. >> the government's been slightly unfair to everybody involved with the mountaineering business. we pay a lot of fees and they don't always go to the people who deserve it. >> ballots today security was extremely tight. guide scattered attacks millions of people went to the polls to elect a new parliament. and ultimately the country's new prime minister. imron khan presented the day at the polls. >> across the country there have been deaths as a result of violence but this is a day that many thought would not come. election day passed without major incident. here in baghdad there have been no incidents at all. people have come out to vote, unofficially, what groups have told us that turnout might be as high as 60%. >> boko haram loosely translatelied, means western education is sinful. members say they want an islamic state ruled by islamic law. methods are cruel and vicious. the group has already killed more than 1500 people just this year. in the latest attack on monday boko haram is blamed for killing as many as 300 nigerians. the world started paying more attention to boko haram after 276 girls were kidnapped april 14th. the u.s. has sent people in to nigeria to help find them. and rewards for any credible information for their rescue. >> still, violence across the globe, from gaza to iraq and ukraine, the conflicts that define 2014. plus deadly disease the ebola crisis in west africa and america's reaction. 2014, from the rise of i.s.i.l. to the war in gaza.

important stories of the year. this week we marked one year in jail for our three colleagues held in jail in egypt. >> i think regardless, i get -- >> at home in australia the moments when one of the jailed journalists learned their love one's fate. >> seven years for peter greste and others present. my god my god. sorry finish. >> whether watching from afar or inside the courtroom families were devastated learning that being journalists peter greste mohamed fahmy and baher mohamed had received sentences. >> today is an example of everything that ruins people's lives. >> the sentence ignited international outrage just after secretary of state john kerry visited. >> it is a chilling and draconian sentence and it's deeply disturbing to see in the midst of egypt's transition. >> reporter: countries around the world immediately summoned egyptian ambassadors and issued condemnation. >> egypt has taken a wrong decision. >> to australia. >> we are deeply dismayed to the fact that a sentence has been imposed and we are appalled by the severity. >> the hashtag #freeajstaff trended worldwide. outrageous attack on press freedom should be overturned. and others had harsh words for egypt's courts. >> from all around the world people from all persuasions are saying to egypt come on this is wrong. this is showing the world that your judicial system is really a farce. >> israel's invasion of gaza, what this turning point means for the international crisis. >> if you look to my right you can see some light and if you look to the left, blackness. if you could see what i could see, there would be miles and miles of blackout, hundreds of thousands of gazansns with no power, that black out spread for miles. >> israel now that they are into gaza is going to try do as much as they can for as long as they can. inevitably the pressure will build. there will be further ceasefire negotiations, we'll get to that point but i think we're probably talking about several days before the ingredients are there and from both sides they're able to say to their respective constituencies we've done enough. >> that's very tail section of that boeing 777 that was carrying 295 people. in these fields are where those people lost their lives. the very back part of the plane about 200 meters down deeper into the field is the tailfin with the malaysia airlines logo very, very visible. >> the plane was on its way in malaysia when it went down. >> this is the second major tragedy to affect malaysia airlines this year with the loss of another plane in march on route to beijing. prime minister has spoken overnight of his shock and are his dearmings determination that those responsible be found and brought to justice. >> now they have proof the malaysian jet liner was shot down by a surface-to-air missile. evidence about the origin of the missile launch is not conclusive. that's why they are saying it was a missile attack but nobody in the obama administration is pointing a finger at either side. >> violence grips an american suburb. a community in crisis. a deep racial divide. a wall of silence in missouri. still, so many unanswered questions. why did a police officer kill an unarmed black teenager? is a militarized police force heightening the tension attacking freedom of the press and how account community can the community heal? flash point ferguson, the way forward. >> the patch of pavements where michael brown took his last breaths are just two blocks from a quiet street where we met a biracial ferguson couple who have not been protesting. they are among many residents who haven't taken to the streets so their voices haven't been heard much in the days since brown was killed. >> we have ferguson police. >> this husband and father of three worries about retaliation if he speaks out so he doesn't want to show his face. he says the anger that boiled over to looting and violence was misplaced. >> we are mad at the cops. so we should have been standing in fronts of ferguson police station. >> where we going to stop? >> ferguson is a place where the fabric of the social issues have changed enormously. but the old guard is still running the show. >> after a week of confrontation between protesters and police, tuesday's remarks by mayor james knowles of ferguson struck many as more than a little tone-deaf. >> there is not a racial divide in the city of ferguson. >> he said a small number of people are responsible for the protests and he may be right but that doesn't change that ferguson's institutions look very different than the people. mayor, police chief five of the six city council members and most of the school board are white, a reflection of the old face of ferguson. >> ferguson used to be 75% white. just 20 years ago. and now because of the sweeping demographic changes it's almost 70% black. in just 20 years. >> i was michael's art teacher. kindergartener through grade 5. and as an elementary student he was very quiet, just kind of kept to himself. my last experience with michael was the day of his graduation. i had not seen him since fifth grade. and i saw this big kid walking up towards the summer

2014. >> 2014, a closer look. >> welcome back. as the year 2014 comes to a close, we're taking a closer look at some of the stories that mattered most this year. by the fall the november mid term election was making headlines here in the united states while the ebola crisis already devastating west africa was beginning to spread. >> president obama tries to reassure the nation that ebola is under control. >> these protocols work. >> but some aren't convinced. >> we need to consider our health. >> nurses in dallas say they didn't get the right training. and now a second nurse comes down with ebola. the cdc says it was ready. >> we're stopping it in its tracks in this country. >> but are u.s. hospitals really prepared? the ebola crisis. >> a second health care worker from dallas has the disease. she's a 29-year-old nurse amber vinson who treated that dallas patient who died. diagnosing a person with ebola can be a lengthy process. it requires close monitoring and a lot of patience. the most crucial factor is time. for more we turn to our science and technology expert jake ward with the latest, jake. >> here in dallas there are obviously great questions here, where couldn't this have somehow been detected more quickly. well the trouble is that it turns out detecting ebola is a very complicated process. in a perfect world anyone in close contact with a person infected with ebola would be tested in the first moments after exposure but unfortunately the virus doesn't show up that quickly. testing people too early leads to missed diagnoses and false positives. so the current procedure is to monitor patients until they develop symptoms like fever or bleeding. but while we can't test earlier we might be able to test faster. currently the test for ebola can take as long as three days to process. consider that nina pham reported her symptoms on friday and her test results came back positive on sunday. that window means the second nurse was on a plane. could have reduced the waiting time until ten minutes. perhaps a faster test for nina pham could have kept her co-worker off the plane. >> america votes 2014. we've got reactions from around the globe. the stakes can't be higher. >> the republicans have just won the seats they need to gain control of the senate. tom tillis has beat senator kay hagen. >> a country one-third as large as the
