>> hello, welcome to the news hour. these are our top stories. driving home his victory, india's next prime minister thanks the people for his support. plus more in turkey. >> i told my friend to leave me here. you go. i didn't have the strength to go on. >> survivors describe their ordeal and say more men could have escaped if officials had helped them.

also to come, the battle in bengahzi is over for now but 36 people are dead, and the city is far from secure. we hear from the sudanese woman sentenced to death for refusing to give up her christian faith. >> but first india's prime minister elected celebrating his election victory in the sacred hindu city. narendra modi led the bjp party to the majority in elections. later he got a hero's welcome. >> reporter: the celebrations continue. party workers gather at the headquarters in new delhi. the sweeping victory at the polls have stunned this nation. newspapers are describing this event as momentous. many are coming to terms.

with the enormity. >> the numbers, i was shocked. it's down to the modi. >> i think corruption is the first priority. if you tackle corruption than inflation will come down automatically and make life easier for everyone. >> modi left his home state for delhi to claim his prize, the prime minister office of india. the area was awash with cheering crowds, thousands lined the route young and old trying to get a glimpse of their country's new leader. modi won the majority, the first politician to do so since 1984. it's a moment to saver and reflect on. security is tight around modi.

india has bee seen two prime ministers assassinated in the past. no one is taking any chance. >> so with that wave of support and adoration in new delhi comes the expectation that he has got to meet. >> indeed, he has. many things to consider in terms of policy and also implementing that in what is, in fact, a majority-led government. gdp has chunk to 5%. he wants to try and bring in foreign investment into india and attract that that would hopefully bring job creation and increase industry output. you have to consider this was a young vote. 40% of the voters who voted in

the election were under the age of 40. in india's unemployment market, 13 million new young people joined the job market. so you have a balancing act to find jobs, and trying to maintain those who are looking for work in the market, trying to find them new industries and new opportunities if possible within india. there are other issues such as employment, health, and security, and national relations. the whole portfolio of problems, but one he said he is up to the challenge in tackling. people want to see results. >> to help him with these massive challenges, as you've mentioned, no doubt he's thinking about his team.

he's got quite a lot of big names in indian politics to nuggetsel. juggle. >> indeed, what he has to, as you say, juggle with, the old guards and the new guards. they've never had a ministerial porportfolio before. now, he is a senior elder of the party. he may not get a cab inspect post but some people are touting the fact that he may get the speakers position within parliament. another man whose name has been frequently used not just by al jazeera, he is the president of the bjp, what his position may be in government is questionable, but perhaps to say

as the president to keep the reins on the bjp party, trying to keep control of that as modi tries to keep control of the policy and implementation. they may work very well together as a partnership. but a few things to keep an eye on, smokes persons and senior members in that pot lit bureau who will be looking for minister portfolios. >> some interesting times ahead. now to turkey and the mining disaster that killed hundreds of men. many turks suspect many lives could have been saved. we're in the mining town of soma, and andrew bring us right

up-to-date with the death toll and the efforts to recover bodies. martine i can tell you that the whole operation is over. a short time ago, two of the last two bodies were retrieved from the mine, and the official death toll stands at 301, according to the energy minister that will be the final figure from this disaster. he had said there had been a fire out of control. it started a few days after the original one. that has now been brought under control. the rescuers are now basically all going home. a very different atmosphere at the pit head now. in fact, it's all but silent. an eerie silence now at the frantic activity of the past four days. >> andrew, what about the suggestions that more could have been done to help people escape

from this fire in the pit? and criticisms of the government as well? >> reporter: well, the situation is this, a number of miners have made complaints. a few have gone public. but a survivor, he was on the second shift. he was going down into the mine, and then the gas levels were reported to be high and instead of escaping he was ordered to go further down to take shelter. this is what he had to say. >> there is an official for each task, at least there are people who keep track of everything. they have devices, for example, when the gas increases the device makes a sound and everyone can hear it. the shift supervisor was aware of it, but ordered miners not to leave until the shift was over. no one informed us until the

smoke was where we were. if the company had left us leave early we would have survived. when we did leave the smoke was everywhere, and because of that we could not leave. >> we're getting a clearer picture of the ordeal that so many of these men underwent on that fateful day? >> reporter: yes, so many harrowing stories. and one man with a serious leg injury. he is in a cast now. he was one of 15 out of 150 who survived. many of his friends died. but his account of how he got out, well, listen to it. >> it's impossible to describe. you feel no strength in your body. you feel like shall i move or not. you lose all your strength when you take five steps. you don't even have the strength to raise your arm. i told my friend, leave me hear. you go. i didn't have the strength to go

on. let me stay here. i laid down. my friend said no, if we go, we go together. he took my arm. if my friend was not there i would have been dead by now. >> and so harrowing account there. of course the operation is now officially over, but by no means is the grieving over. by no means are the demands of the government to make people accountable, and for the company on friday once again said it was not negligence in any way. all of those demands for those company and government to do something about the situation quickly certainly aren't going away. >> andrew simmons in western turkey. >> now 36 people are now confirmed dead following friday's violence in the bibban city of bengahzi. the attack has been described as a coup.

they say they want to free the eastern city of what they're calling extremists. we report now from the capitol of tripoli. >> reporter: bengahzi is in turmoil. they have attacked the bases of two troops. the mission of the forces is to rid bengahzi of what they call extremists and terrorists. the attacks lasts for hours. while the fighter jet bombed a base for the february 17th date. the government in tripoli described the attack as a coup attempt. they said the attackers were acting without government approval. >> some aircraft flew in the city skies and the chief of staff of the libyan army has denied the issuance of order for these forces. therefore this movement is a violation of orders in the military and not

issued by the legitimate authority. >> backlashes left a dozen killed and hundreds injured. they have set up check points at bengahzi. others were calling for calm. >> we have to unite and stop fighting our brothers. those who launched the assault should be more careful. we are all brothers in libya. >> reporter: security in bengahzi is deteriorating and there is a growing wave of assassinations and bombings. general with the qaddafi regime in the 80's and joined the revolution against colonel qaddafi. he called for a new presidential body to assume power and said the work against the government should be stopped. >> reporter: the supporters say

he's trying to rid libya of chaos spread of militias and rising extremism. >> two iraqi soldiers have been killed after a battle with fighters from the islamic state of iraq in western anbar province. five civilians were killed in fallujah after shelling. thousands of people have fled the city in the last week after the military intensified the campaign against rebel fighters. more to come here at al jazeera including the french president is hoping a summit--is holding a summit about boca had a ram. >> science that could help save the lives of people who fight wildfires. >> and in sport arsenal aimed to end a nine-year trophy drought in the final at the fa cup.

>> now the group accused of kidnapping more than 270 school girls more than a month ago in nigeria is being blamed for an attack on a chinese plant in neighboring cameroon. fighters thought to be from boko haram carried out the attack in the north. about 20 kilometers from the nigerian border. now that's also according to a local governor there are reports of at least one chinese national having been killed, and another taken hostage. and the security summit which is focusing on the security threat that is posed by boko haram has opened in paris. african cleared including president jonathan are at the meeting. president françois hollande has

gathered the group to figure out a strategy. and representatives from the u.s. and u.k. are attending. mohammed, this attack in cameroon, this highlights again how active the threat is from boko haram and extremist armed groups in this part of the country. >> that's correct, martine. whereas the boko haram militants were confining their attacks to northern nigeria, now they are spreading thei and what is happg in cameroon and what happened last month in cameroon anything to go by since they are going regional. in cameroon last month they attacked the police and killed two in february.

they kidnapped a french family from the north of cameroon. and yesterday they targeted a chinese plant where workers were working. they engaged the security forces who were guarding the chinese officials and th those working there. there was a gunfight, and they killed one person and took away up to ten. this is information that has been confirmed by the community. >> we'll bring you up-to-date with the latest work that is being attributed to boko haram. now we can go live to paris. this is where this summit is actually taking place. a summit which is meant to be dealing with the security situation we'll talk with anthony dupuy, security analyst.

first of all, why would france be particularly interested in what is going on in nigeria, of course, a former british colony? >> as mentioned by the previous speaker there are a lot of reasons for that. first of all, we've had kidnappings in the past, a priest had been abducted, and there is still one french hostage who is still under the hands of--or she is--from boko haram. that is the first reason. second reason is france has an interest in all african countries. french president françois hollande said that the french industry has also an interest in going to these market, which is

the biggest african market in which it was the most populated and the most richest of african countries. and third of all this is the reason why the summit is taking place now in paris, all the neighboring countries need to share, interact more actively with nigeria, and france has troops in the year, 3,000 troops are located both in my jeer and chad, and these are some of the reasons why france is interested in the ongoing security in nigeria. >> how much support would president hollande kiev for increasing french presence on the african continent.

>> we're not increasing troops but decreasing. the idea is to have a more symmetric military dispositive to be more proactive and be more effective to go against the providers of insecurity, most of all terrorist operations. it's not about reengaging in africa. it's about putting the troops where they're needed and emphasizing the security for more regional cooperation and more mentoring of african forces. this is why minister of defense said that we are redisposing our military agenda, 3,000 troops. >> emmanuel dupuy, thank you for your thoughts.

now syrian government forces have launched further attacks around the capitol of damascus. another barely bomb was dropped near a mosque southwest of damascus on friday. government helicopters are using the barrel bombs around the suburbs to try to get rid of opposition fighters. and the italian foreign ministers has made their first visit to new york after attending a meeting in london. our diplomatic editor james bays asked her if the political process has failed. >> i don't think there was a plan b in terms of military. i don't think it would be a good idea as 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 involving all regional actors that can play a role, who are

willing to play a role and call for different parts of the fragmented political scene, to come to the table and find a solution for the country. it's the only way to launch the principles o. >> the iranians say they have a plan that they've offered to ambassador brahimi. 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 itself i think is a major change and a positive one. i think we should empower the region more to deal with the crisis. they might have some good ideas that we could support, and especially if the talks are issued with iran gets to an

agreement by july, and there are discussions apparently with some degree of positive results. >> well, the sudanese government has defended a court ruling sentencing a woman to death for apostasy. the 27-year-old was convicted of abandoning islam and marrying a christian man. she was ordered to be hanged. but she has always christianity. there would be an outcry over the verdict. we can find out a bit more about this case as we talk to a lawyer for her. we're joined live from the sudanese capital ca car kartom.

>> this is a fascinating story. thank you so much. the quality of the line is poor, and it's very difficult to follow what you're saying. we will continue to follow this story, though, and attempt to talk to you again. thank you so much, indeed, for

trying to talk to us here at al jazeera. now serbia and bosnia are struggling with the heaviest rainfall on record. at least 20 people have died. thousands of people have had to leave their homes and 100,000 are without power. peter sharp has more. >> reporter: three months of rain in less than three days. the worst floods to swamp the balkans since records began 120 years ago. 300 people waited for rescue as the river surged against flood defenses inundated three cities in its path. rescuers plucking residents from roof tops. following the rains the landslides sweeping down from the surrounding hills cutting through communities with no warning. scores have died. death toll is expected to rise. >> it's a catastrophe.

a catastrophe. when we saw the first two houses start to slide down, when th thy started disappearing. this morning, my house, everything i've worked for, for 36 years, it's gone. but i saved my disabled daughter and my wife, so it doesn't matter. >> the school is filled with those who have lost their homes in this once in a century disaster. >> we left the car behind, the motorcycle, the chainsaw, all our valuables. we grabbed our mobile phones and ran. >> some enduring a long wait for news of missing relatives. >> last time i spoke to my uncle was yesterday and since then there has been no information. i don't know where he is. i just know there is no electricity. i have no communication with him or the rest of my family. >> and serbia the prime minister described the flood the worst

the country has ever suffered. and they know a new flood wave will hit on sunday. al jazeera. >> let's find out what the coming few days have in store for the people of the balkans. >> reporter: well, problems with the water that's already fallen. but as far as the rainfall is concerned it's very much on its way. you can see that on the satellite image. yes, there is a bit of rain around the moment, but actually we've got much further towards north across poland. we had very large rain totals here over the last couple of days, and plenty across southern poland, it's also quite bad. that should not be under estimated. but this whole system is moving towards the west and currently there are some very big thunderstorms across western parts of poland, probably down towards the czech republic, too. as we get into sunday we'll find

that pushing onto the eastern parts of germany. but by the time we get to monday it's virtually gone, rescue efforts will get under way and there shouldn't be any immediate rainfall issues. this system will give us heavy rain across the mid-atlantic. that is now clearing away. they could have done with the rain towards the west because the ongoing drought situation is a problem, and it will be a problem all the way through the summer into the autumn. we're past the time of any significant rainfall. these shots come from san diego where fires continue to rage. this is the same as much of southern california. i don't see how we're going to get out of the situation before the autumn rain. rain is coming in towards the pacific northwest but that does not do any good of any create

note. you see that rain moving thursday on in. as we get into parts of the middle section of the country some heavy rain moving towards the upper midwest. but at least for the eastern seaboard this should be dry with sunshine. >> we've got a lot more to come on the al jazeera news hour. we'll look at what is in store for india's gandhi family after their defeat. and in sports spain's top two football teams fight it out for the title in their final game. ♪ what is this place? where are we?

>> welcome to al jazeera. here is a reminder of our top stories. india's top minister has been celebrating victory with his supporters. he led the right wing bjp party to absolute majority to parliamentary elections on friday. turkish rescue workers have removed the bodies of the last two miners. this brings the total number of dead in turkey's worst mine disaster to 301. survivors have criticized the mining company saying they should have been warned earlier. africa leaders including the nigerian president jonathan are attending a summit regarding

boko haram. they're trying to coordinate a strategy against the armed group. >> we'll get to the main story of the last couple of days, and that is the election victory in india. the national congress party has suffered its worst election defeat in history after ten years in government. >> reporter: they were loyal supporters of the indian national congress. but like millions, his family expressed dissatisfaction with the party at the ballot box. >> they left us no choice. hence we took a hard decision. we were hardcore congress

loyalists. >> reporter: other voters say the congress party's cause was lost long before leaders like sonya gandhi hit the campaign trail. >> they got complacent saying we've been doing it for so many years what can possibly go wrong? >> that was something that was really felt at the grassroots level. >> reporter: the congress led united unexpectedly came to power in 2004 and remained in government for ten years. the first five years were a dream run compared to the final few. arrested to manage allies and allegations of rampant corruption highlighted how seemingly out of touch the party was with india's realities. >> the congress party is facing an identify crisis.

i don't think it really has a starting point at this moment given the few number of seats that it has all over the country. i think it has very little legroom. it will need to make quick decisions and what it will give to the one-man politician machine narendra modi. >> reporter: congress headquarters in new delhi looks quiet and fo forlorn. it will soon face the task of rebuilding. the party's identity has been incident mitbeenintimately conne gandhi family, and many say this is a harsh new reality that the party needs to accept. al jazeera, new delhi. >> now many refer to the gandhis

as india's first family. we'll talk more about the gandhi family and the congress later on, but first let's go live because this is where the prime minister elect of india is currently, and this is a sacred site for hindus. in the studio with me is our guest who is going to take us through some of the significance of where he is now, first, can you tell us about this? why are they there so soon after being welcomed by supporters. >> he's already thanked the people.

he has gone there to thank the people, and he has gone there to report. he was prevented from taking part in that celebration while he was campaigning because of security reasons. now as prime minister elect he has gone there to. topray. >> very briefly can you explain the significance of this city to hindus. >> this is one of our most ancient, and he'll go to offer prayers. >> there is talk of cleansing, there have been quite a few layers of meaning in that expression.

>> let's talk about the congress party. the congress party for the larger part has been the gandhi family, hasn't it. give us a sense of how historic this defeat is for the gandhi family and, indeed, the congress party. >> it's an unprecedented defeat. they never had so few seats in parliament earlier. this is a neutral arbitor between the different factions of the party. the party is shaped differently in each shap state.

the gandhi family is what holds the party together. when people think they will get justice and use the name in elections, and it's a illustrious family, but it's not a family like the royal family in a sense because each time its members have to go to the people and get elected. >> but nonetheless it's a dynasty. >> absolutely. >> i and that is quite difficult for people to understand. one thinks of neighboring pakistan, which has its own dynasty as well, the tin cityic family of the butas. >> the now ruling party bjp, they all have dynasties. there are a lot of fledgling dynasties. it's just that the neru gandhi

family is established. >> thank you for taking us through the significance. >> now going to. >> for years regarded the icon of democracy, opposition leader is leading the call for change. this time to reform the constitution: >> this constitution was drawn up because the government and the army lacked confidence. there is no confidence between the army and the people and vice versa. some people have no confidence in their own future and the constitution was drawn up to use

as a shield. drafted under the previous military regime it bars anyone whose relative holds foreign citizenship from becoming president, and that would be whose husband and son are british. the constitution gives a lot of power to the military which is guaranteed 25% of seats in parliament. >> this is aimed at getting support for constitutional reform but there is no indication that the government is lesso listening. >> civilian government has been in charge since elections in 2010. it's interviews some reform and been with regarded with the suspension of sanctions but it's reluctant to do more.

>> everything is new to us. so we are faced with many challenges. it's very fragile. if we press too soon for more changes the political landscape may be disstepped. >> the opposition is trying to organize dialogue, but it has become nothing. they're adamant that the constitution has to be fixed. >> we cannot rely on the constitution because it's core structure is to provide a shield for the previous government. to cover the mistakes of the previous military regime, to protect the interest of the army, and to contain the movements of other political parties. >> the natural league for democracy won a landslide victory in elections 24 years ago but the military prevented it from taking power. polls are due for next year. they may once again see victory snatched from her this time by a

constitutional flaw. florence lee, al jazeera. >> now the final day of campaigning in malawi ahead of presidential election on tuesday. the people's party is seeking re-election. the vote is being held amid ongoing corruption scandal. it's alleged millions of dollars of government money has been stolen by officials. portugal's three-year bailout program is officially over. the westernmost country in europe has one of the worst hit by the eurozone crisis. but there are signs now of economic growth. barnaby phillips now reports. >> reporter: the streettheththef lisbon have been invaded. they come in shapes and sizes

>> the websites are where you can sell anywhere in the world. the opportunity is actually huge because there are a lot of incentives. there are investors who want to invest in web start ups. the last three years have been the best to start up. >> the crisis has changed the portuguese economy, but it has changed portuguese society in ways that we're only beginning to understand. many young people have immigrated. and those who have chosed to stay are choosing to have fewer and fewer children. classes are expecting parents but the truth is portugal's population is falling. more people are leaving and dying than are being born. many couples feel they can't afford to have children. >> it's very worrying. in a few years we won't have a new generation. we won't have productive people to keep things going.

we'll be in a country of people who are 40, 50, 60, and 70 years old. >> the babies today will grow up in a different portugal. the burden of looking after the old will be a lasting legacy of this economic crisis. barnaby phillips. >> still to come here al jazeera, the sports news including from running the country to running the midfield.

vegetation. big wildfires are on the increase across the western u.s. in part because of drier conditions and higher temperatures due to climate change. >> this year's fire season started early as drought turns forests into tinderboxes. dave weiss said that the research will augment firefighters' practical experience. >> this will start to describe what fire does from a very fundamental standpoint and really understanding the complexity of fire. >> one thing is certain, fire will always be with us. it is a force that can never be eliminated but it can be better understood, and that could save lives. rorob reynolds. >> for just the third time in

as barca. arsenal has not won any silverware since 2005 when they beat manchester united. their players are hardly household names even for arsenal squad. when asked if hull striker would be the danger man? >> who? who is this? hull player, okay. i will focus on our game. >> hull never claimed a major trophy but their manager does have some winning experience. he won three fa cup finals with manchester united. >> it's bit like when you get married. it's all over before you blink. before you know it you're

married. before you know it, the finals are gone. you have to grab the occasion and enjoy the occasion and make sure that above all you perform. >> it will be the 133rd fa cup finals. the first happened way back in 1872. the tournament was halted for world wars. the tenants for the final in 1923. there were over 120,000 people in the newly opened wembley stadium. and if arsenal win they will equal manchester united of winning the cup 11 times. it's estimated that half a billion people will watch the final worldwide. the la kings beat the anaheim ducks to advance to the western conference finals. the kings who were visiting than i'm in a game series fighter opened with five straight goals.

tactic for the directors. this is partly to do with power. you see movie makers often find themselves beholden to film distributors. but by controlling how their own movies are released they regain some of that power and often save money in the process. this all ties in with our insatiable demand to have everything now, now, now. impatience brought about by technology. if a film is in a cinema you have to physically go there to see it. if it's released online all you need is one of these or one of these, and you can enjoy it wherever you may be. >> "star trek" may be a scene hit. star wreck is a hit thanks to the net. and as far as it's concerned the web is the only way to go. >> you've been working with the fans for ages. you know exactly the way, you know exactly how to sell the film to your fans. given the access, i believe it's
