balkans - some of the heaviest rains inundating serbia and hertzogena. the president of bolivia, ava morales, signs with a specialist club. . >> the election in underia has been won in convincing fashion. narendra modi will be the new prime minister after his v.j.p. party swept into power by a landslide. he was greeted by jubilant supporters as he arrived in new delhi. he's to visit the sacred city in the next few days and will be formally sworn into office, and will choose the members of his government. we'll go live to new delhi and

talk to our correspondent. now he's greeted some of his followers. he's going the hindu sacred spot. but he'll have to sit and confront the immense challenges before him. >> reporter: indeed. there are major challenges for him and india. one of the topics that's been mentioned, as we have been mingling with the supporters, as we wait outside b.j.p. headquarters, which is where we are, they were saying that corruption is the one thing we want to deal with. we want bureaucracy and clear transparent government. that's what we put you in power for. and that we will deliver. it reflects in the papers, a selected of headlines across the

board. a lovely picture. he'll meet his mother, a 95-year-old lady, a proud woman to see her son take office, and the delhi special. delhi is a union state. over to the b.j.p. the complete white wash and defamation of the party. all the things that had to be thought about. everything from how to deal with the rupee, the budget gap and high prices. costly borrowing and growth. weak spending and policy stand still. lots of policy sitting on the benches, waiting to be passed. these are the things that will be dealt with. according to narendra modi, in

the first few months of his tenureship. >> what can we expect. how long will it take before he's formally sworn in? >> reporter: k, what we will see from narendra modi is the fact that he will have to start finalising who his government will be. that will be after he, himself, leader of the government takes his oath of office. we expect that to be on wednesday. as he becomes prime minister he leaves a gap. his finance minister will take over in gujarat. she has been a close confidante for 10 years, and is the revenue minister, different to the finance minister in this country. she seems or will be spearheading the state of gujarat as the new chief minister. there are other names, another face seen or the election. he is expected to get the law ministry. two high prominent names that will be released as the days go

op. forming the government will be the next challenge and representative of all the b.j.p. members of parliament, to make sure that every state feels they have one of their own in new delhi forming policy. narendra modi has received a personal invitation to visit the white house from the u.s. president. narendra modi had previously been barred from obtaining a u.s. visa. rosalind jordan reports from washington d.c. >> reporter: in diplomatic speak this was the ultimate show of respect from the newly elected u.s. president barack obama. his first state dinner was hosted for the indian prime minister manmohan singh, and they promised a push helping both country's economies. it had lopsided results though. the u.s. is exporting about $5 billion since 2009.

india increased its exports to the u.s. by an additional $20 billion, leading the u.s. to file multiple complaints at the world trade organization, and u.s. experts believe narendra modi could help to even the playing field. >> the b.j.p. platform that they campaigned on across the country spoke about the need to open foreign investment directives in all segments helpful to india. >> reporter: once the votes had been counted, the president was connected to narendra modi, still celebrating. >> once the government is formed we look forward to dealing bilaterally. >> reporter: during george w. bush's presidency he was denied a visa to the u.s. for his part in riots in 2002.

narendra modi will get a visa reserved for heads of government. at some point president obama will welcome the new prime minister at least to the oval office, if not to a formal dinner. two iraqi army soldiers have been killed after a battle with fighters from the islamic state of iraq and levant in western anbar province. army forces pulled back. five civilians were killed in fallujah. thousands fled the city in the last week after the military intensified a campaign against rebel fighters. syrian government forces launched further attacks on opposition areas around damascus. another barrel bomb was dropped near a mosque south-west of the capital on friday. government helicopters are using barrel bombs around the suburbs to rout out opposition fighters the italian foreign minister

made her first official visit to u.n. headquarters after attending a friends of syria meeting in london. our diplomatic editor james bays asked whether the resignation of lakhdar brahimi as the envoy to syria meant that the political process failed. >> i don't think there is a plan b in terms of military. i don't think it would be a good idea. i think it wouldn't have been a good idea some years ago. i think the only way we can put an end to the conflict is involve all the regional act or willing to play a role, called to the different parts of the the syrian fragmented scene, to come to a table and find a solution. the only way is to relaunch the principles of the geneva process. they are valid. >> reporter: the iranians say they have a plan they offered to

lakhdar brahimi. we are hear of talk of a meeting between the saudi foreign minister and the iranians foreign minister. how important could those two countries be? >> i think it could be a game changer if that happens. the announcement of the possibility of a visit, in itself, i think, is a major change. and a positive one. i think we should empower the countries in the region more to deal with the crisis. they might have some good ideas that we could support and sustain. especially if the talks on the nuclear issue with iran occurs in july. they are under discussion in vienna, apparently with a degree of positive results the armed nigerian group boko haram will be the focus of a summit hosted by the french president francis hollande. african leaders, including the nij jan president goodluck

jonathan are -- nigerian president goodluck jonathan are taping the meeting in paris, after the kidnapping of almost 300 school girls a month ago. let's go live to the nigeria capital abuja. president goodluck jonathan, who we can see now, was greeting the french president is able to get to par. >> but couldn't -- paris, but he couldn't make it to chibok, where the girls were abducted. >> reporter: indeed. this provoked fresh criticism against goodluck jonathan and his administration. it's more than a month since the girls were abducted, and the president has not been to chibok to see the family or the place where the girls were abducted from. the president says that a visit by the president to chibok was not on the books. this is a claim, however, disputed by other government officials. some say that the visit by the

president to chibok was on schedule, and early on friday, it was cancelled. no reason was given for this cancellation. we also know from eyewitnesss from the state where chibok is, that the parents of the girls were waiting. the governor of the region expected the president, but all that - they were forced to disappears after being told that the president was not going to come. this is the criticism on president goodluck jonathan and his government on how they handled the crisis. >> it's unprecedented. he's not terribly popular in nigeria. but the criticism he's refusing for the hand lipping of the merge -- handling of the emergency situation in the north-east of the country is not boding well for re-election prospects next year? >> no, it's not. nine months until the elections,

and already the planning and the preparations for the elections have begun in earnest. president goodluck jonathan is expected to throw his hat into the ring again and sikh re-election. this is something many -- and seek re-election. this is something many don't want especially the people from the north who felt isolation. [ inaudible [ inaudible ] seem to have sort of assistanced the feeling of marginalisation, because what many told us is if it was another part of the country, maybe the reaction would have been different. >> thank you for that, that report live from abuja. apollies -- apoll onlyies for

the quality of the line. 24 have been killed by armed groups. the government in tripoli describes the attack as an attempted coup. we are joined from the libyan capital tril. tell us about brb trip rsh sh -- from tripoli. tell us more about what is going on in benghazi? >>. >> reporter: the situation in benghazi is calm. there's a growing sense of anticipation and fear. we understand that the attacking force has retreated outside of the city. we also heard reports that those forces that attacked different races in benghazi retreated to a town, the stronghold for retired general hall eacha lasta. we don't know -- halifa hafta.

we don't know if he's there, but they retreated 90km east of benghazi. the government in tripoli issued a statement, a harsh statement describing the events that took place in benghazi as a coup attempt, not only against the legitimacy of the government and the german national coup, but against the resolution of february 17th that toppled colonel muammar gaddafi. >> this is being taken seriously with the acting prime minister, talking of this being considered serious enough to constitute an attempted coup. >> yes, absolutely. because what had happened, and the event in benghazi involved not only forces loyal to general hafta, but forces who are part of the libyan army, and they should report back to the chief

of staff. if you remember, there was an aerial strike. now, the chief of staff came out and said the benina air force located in benghazi is no longer operating under the control of the chief of staff. they have taken things seriously. all of this represents the chaos that has engulfed libya sense the overthrow of muammar gaddafi, in particular for the last several months, benghazi saw a wave of attacks, and even in tripoli the government is struggling to rein in powerful militias, so every group that has its weapons and men teems to act impunity. that is why everybody, the residents and politicians are criticising the government for being very weak. >> our correspondent live in tripoli. thank you. 303 people are now confirmed to have died in tuesday's mining

accident in turkey. a second fire in the coal mine in soma hampered search operations. anti-government protests have turned violent in istanbul and other cities. one survivor told how officials knew methane gas levels had rich inside the mine prior to the explosion. >> at least the officials could have warned us before. no one informed us until the smoke came. if the company let us leave earlier, we would have survived. when we got out of the mine, the smoke was everybody. because of that we could not leave. thousands in myanmar rallied for constitutional changes that would allowing aung san suy kyi run for the presidency. elections are next year. we have the latest. >> reporter: this is one of a series of nation-wide rallies

aimed at getting support for constitutional reform. a clause that the main opposition party wants amended is one where anyone with a foreign citizenship from becoming president. that disqualifies aung san suy kyi. she married a foreigner and has two sons. the other is 75% of parliament for amendment. at the moment 25% of seats in parliament are reserved for the military. the opposition says the constitution was un-democratic to hold power and is designed to prevent aung san suy kyi from ever becoming president. don't forget her party won landslide elections in 1990. they were prevented by the military from taking power. there's not enough evidence to suggest that people want

constitutional reform. the president warned there could be unrest in the party if parties working for reform don't work within the boundaries of the law. this country is scheduled to hold elections next year. how it's handled will be a test of the its open possess and the ability to hold free and fair elections. still to come - malawi's president runs for another term despite a massive corruption scandal on her watch. plus... >> i'm lawyer eps lee in dublin, 40 years ago we saw the single blood yesterday in the whole of the irish war. how come it's the single event and troubles the british government doesn't want to talk about. >> who is this? [ laughs ] in sport - arsenal plays a guessing game with hull's underdog players ahead of the finals in the fa cup.

it was the last day of campaigning in malawi ahead of presidential elections. president banda from the people's party is seeking re-election. the vote is held amid a corruption scandal. al jazeera's correspondent is in the city of zom ba, to the south of malawi. we join her now. tell us about zom ba, where you are, and what is going on behind you. >> reporter: well, it's a home area of president joyce banda, a region why she is from. the people there are her supporters, and a lot of people are waiting for her to come in an hour's time, and she'll direct them. now the problem she has been facing in the past two years is things to do with the tax-gate

scandal where millions of dollars were stolen by civil servants. people are asking how did it happen and (2), claims to not know of it. they want to know why she didn't know. there's a corruption trial going on. she said she is not implicated, but people close to her have been implicated. people want to know how she'll deal with that. the other thing is it's a conservative country. a lot of women feel it's not a place for a woman to lead a country. she needs to convince many that she is the right person for the job come the election. we can remember when she came to power, as you say, as one of the first women leaders. there was a wave of enthusiasm for her. who is taking on the incumbent then. who are the opponents?

>> well, there are three main party opposition leaders in the running for this. and the key thing is some of them are from this region. she may have a lot of support, but the opposition leader has support. the d perform p party -- dpp party, there are other parties. they are competing in this particular election. it will be highly contested because this is a region where there's a lot of sport and a lot of votes. she may have the supporters to support her, but the opposition parties have a strong hold on the region. a lot of people expect this region to be tightly contested. that report from zom ba. we'll keep you up to dates with development as the country casts its vote. >> now, horrible natural cas as trophy that's how serbia's prime minister referred to the flood disaster sweeping the balkans.

at least 20 have been killed in bosnia herzegovina. >>. >> reporter: stranded, citizens flagged down helicopters. emergency crews are working around the clock to move hundreds from their homes. it's a delicate praise. . >> translation: i've been in missions before to help in snowfalls or fire. this is difficult. strong winds are making conditions difficult. >> reporter: an inland sea swamped an entire town in bosnia and herzegovina. rivers are bursting their banks throughout the country, including in sarajevo as the heaviest rain recorded tips to fall. -- continues to fall. it's not just flooding that is devastating the communities. landslides are consuming

everything in their path. >> translation: it's a catastrophe. when we saw the first two houses sliding down, when the place started to disappear, we do nothing but cry. this morning my house, everything i worked for for 36 years, it's all gone. i saved by disabled daughter and my wife, so it doesn't matter. >> reporter: as the land slides continued, authorities feared landmines laid during the war could pose threat beneath the mud and rubble. in serbia the prime minister said the floods are the biggest water catastrophe seen. the earth is sodden and the rivers swollen from two months of rain that has fallen in 40 hours. with rain falling and landslides threatening homes, residents are clipping on to all they have left -- clinging on to all they

have left let's find out what the balkans and the rest of the world have in store with regard to the weather. how does it look? >> it's about right. two months worth of rain in 40 hours. but the trend is towards improved weather conditions. if you look at the satellite, it doesn't look that impressive. further towards the north, across poland, of course, where we have the most impressive weather in terms of rainfall. we are getting increasing rainfall reports from across poland. 264mm in the space of 72 hours. this is what we have now got in parts of southern and eastern poland. quite extensive flooding across the region. and i don't think it's much different from the situation we have got across the balkans at the moment. well, we are expecting the frontal system to push away. we should see improvement across this patch. the stormy weather extended to

austria. these are in excess of 140 k/hr, high levels granted. thunder storms are now into the western part of poland, 'emming into -- edging into germany, pushing it to the balkans, from sunday through to monday the rain has gone, and hopefully we'll see the river levels come down and things get back to normal across the balkans area. >> thank you very much. it's 40 years since a series of bombs exploded in the republic of ireland in the period known as the troubles. 33 people were killed in dublin and manneh hone. the families of the victims said they'll sue the british government over what they believe was a cover up. >> reporter: it isn't easy to find the memorials to what happened here 40 years ago. a plaque near parliament, where two were blown up. another in a busy street not far away - 11 dead here.

on a parallel road, a third. 14 killed here, but not bernie. she was buried in the rubble, losing an eye. everyone around her died. >> there was a flash in the sky. i looked up thinking it was thupder. i didn't thing more, because the windows came and the other van exploded. the car was here. >> reporter: who did the professional and deadly work, not in british northern ireland but the republic. a pro-british militia said it did it. inflammatory suggestions was that british soldiers were involved. >> significant numbers of members of the security forces were in the paramilitary, there's an overlapping membership. members of the security forces had expertise and training from the security forces to carry out attacks. >> there was an inquiry in parliament. people said it was revenge. the british state, which to this

day denies involved refused to help the inquiry. the committee accused britain of terrorism. >> we had members of the security commission give evidence at the committee, saying that they knew about the involvement of certain people. you saw the evidence of bombs, the particular members of the security forces that were involved in designing the plan and bringing them to dublin. the evidence is all there. which you may thing, after all these years to be important. neither here nor in the u.k. does it seem to be. >> some event from the trouble hold a place in memory, the omar bombing by the real ira which killed 30 bloody sundays, which resonated over the world. what happened here in 1974 was the single blood yesterday of the the whole of the troubles, yet somehow it seems to have been airbrushed from british political history.

in the chateau of another plaque, aiden has spent 40 years coming to terms with the fact that the british government spent no interest in coming to term with the allegations. >> of course they should apologise. yes. they apologised in the north for bloody sunday. >> northern ireland has been back in the news because of the arrest of the gerry adams over allegations of ira terrorism. they refuse to go away. on this 40th anniversary, one of ireland's biggest atrocities is a big dirty secret. still to come here at al jazeera - another step forward in peace talks between the columbian government and the f.a.r.c. rebels - this time on the drugs trade. plus, the art of coffee making - or, rather, the art of

groups and alliances. okay. we can talk a little more about that, about the numbers and beyond with a former editor of india's "mail today", and is a political commentator. the numbers look favourable for narendra modi in the lower house. he'll have a problem pushing through legislation when it comes to the upper house, isn't he? >> absolutely. the national democratic alliance has 64 seats. the total size of the house is 240. to pass legislation through you need half that number. you need 121. >> so it's a matter of forming alliances, isn't it, in order to solidify your overwhelming majority in the lower house. >> absolutely. he'll have to form alooepss with reege -- alliances with regional

people in the upper house. there are a number of bills pending in the house, including the goods and services tax bill. a slew of antidraft legislation and other bills, if he wants any passed he can pass them in the lower house. he needs the support in the upper house of a lot of other people. >> we have mentioned often now. among them in priorities is reducing the level of legislation. that is a problem. what will add to the problem is the market sentiment is high. a lot of money flowing in could lead to higher inflation. it's an issue. >> he has to create jobs. as we discussed, there's a swathe of the indian population, first-time voters. young people, many making good

use of social media. these people - many of them are without jobs. >> absolutely. 50% of indian population is under the age of 25 years, and 65% is between 18 and 35. it's a huge, big challenge for him. to create jobs in rural areas as well. he has to shift population from agriculture to industry. attempts have been made in the pass to have linkages in agriculture. you have processing. foreign investment in details, creating linkages that would have taken the youngsters into jobs from rural areas. and in urban areas in a manufacturing hub. how will he do that. that's a big challenge. >> he has to as wage the fears

and the suspicions of the minorities in particular, the muslim community. one in seven of all indians are muslim. ha has to placate them because of their suspicions for his lack of toll rents of his rock tolerance of his rights. >> i don't think they have much to fear from him, but the people that support him. they may start getting overenthusiastic about the victory, there may be problems. otherwise, narendra modi will trito reinvent in terms of inclusive leader. >> thank you for taking us through some of the major challenges facing india's prime minister elect. thank you. >> thank you. all right, we'll have a look at another of the main stories, and that is the security summit taking place at the palace in paris.

nigeria, and president francis hollande paid a visit a few weeks ago to president goodluck jonathan. so they have an ongoing good relationship. and the second thing is that france has proven very efficient, has developed an expertise in terms of fighting against terrorism in africa. we saw and as a matter of fact president goodluck jonathan called france for help. and due to that. and nigeria is surrounded by countries where france - which have good ties to france. france has been targeted itself because boko haram took a lot of hostages as we know in french

hostages, and in cameroon. nobody is interested in seeing boko haram driving and continuing to the mayhem it has been doing now. >> is there an idea then scrks we have alluded to the fact that there are french soldiers in mali and the central african republic. we know francis hollande is not popular in the opinion polls at the moment. how much of an appetite is there in france for military involvement in africa. >> i think this, the kidnapping of the girls is the hot issue who has affected everyone. everyone is shocked at it. there was a demonstration of women in france a couple of days a week - a couple of days ago. and i think people are probably

in france. francis hollande is sort of taking the lead in fighting those boko haram people, and - i mean, france has been very successful in doing that in mali, and they are not alone. today, as you know, the americans and brits who are there helping with all kinds of military help, situations for freeing hostages, and all of them will work together, and also one of the goals of the current session, the current conference is to bring all the countries to work together. cameroon and nigeria [ inaudible ] from the boko haram problem, and the french - cambodian soldiers

are not allowed to go to nigeria to pursue boko haram, criminals, and the nigerians can't come either or exchange information. >> sorry to interrupt, but the line is breaking up a little bit. thank you so much. editor of "africa international media group", talking to us live in front of the summit, taking place with african leaders and francis hollande. a 3-year financial bailout is over in portugal, one of the countries worst hit by the crisis. deep cuts are difficult. there are signs of economic life. in lisbon we meet some young entrepreneurs helping to kick start the economy. >> reporter: the streets of
