balkans flooding as rescuers struggle to reach the hardest hit villages. >> crimes unrereported in the largest city less than a month before the world cup. >> we begin this news hour in nigeria where there have been four attacks in two states all in the last 24 hours. on wednesday there was an attack in the same region where at least 17 people were killed. that's close to more than 200 school girls from kidnapped over a month ago. on tuesday 18 people were killed in double bombings in the central city of jos. we have more on that attack. >> reporter: police say that the bombs were packed in a minivan

to cause as many deaths as possible. >> a second blast in with a truck packed with explosives went off five minutes later. it hit some of the initial response teams. >> this is the devastation caused by the blasts. their lives go on end. fire gutted some of the market, and police were saying they have to go into them to see if there is anybody under the rubble.

jos has been a flash point of violence in the past. until now apparently part of a violent campaign waged across the country. there have been no claim of responsibility so far, but these attacks are suspected to be carried out by boko haram, an armed group based in the north who wants islamic law. president jonathan assures all nigerians remain fully committed to winning the war against terror. the most audacious attack was the kidnapping of more than 200 school girls over a month ago. iit attracted the world attention. the french paris held a meeting in paris where they agreed to a coordinated strategy to fight the armed group. they would set up border areas

and france, the u.k. and the united states committed more resources. >> but for the people who are shopping at this market, these plans may not be enough. more than 100 people lost their lives hundreds of kilometers away. al jazeera, jos nigeria. >> let's take a quick look at where these recent attacks took place. the city of jos lies in central nigeria right between the largely christian south and the mostly muslim north. wednesday' target was in borno state more tha north of chibok 0 school girls were kidnapped last month. it operates across a vast area of the north in borno and yobe as well. let's go to al jazeera in the

northern adamawa state. many say that these are the hallmarks of boko haram? >> yes, even the villagers who we contacted earlier said these are the hallmarks of boko haram attacks. it is increasingly likely that it boko haram, and in the next few days they would claim responsibilities of these attacks. >> these attacks are becoming a normal state in nigeria. how are people reacting? how is this affecting their daily lives? >> there is a general sense of fear, a general sense of insecurity since the beginning of this year, the rate of attacks by boko haram all over the country is increasing. remember when they started

killing earlier in january and then extended the violence not only in borno and yobe states, but it has extended with the loss of more than 150 lives. now they have attacks jos in central nigeria. people are hearing probably after jos this violence could move farther south to the country where it's relatively peaceful now. now with these attacks rising on a daily basis despite huge military deployment people are increasingly becoming fearful and skeptical about whether or not the nigerian authorities will bring this violence under control. >> and there is control that the anger and fear that people are feeling that's rising insecurity in the country could take on sectarian character. are we seeing this happen already? has this affected relations between the muslim communities

and christian communities in nigeria? >> well, the attacks on churches and mosques over the last few years have resulted in--rather have entrenched some kind of feeling of suspicion between members of the muslim and christian communities in the north. now jos, which is relatively peaceful after two decades of sectarian violence, this is coming in a place or at a time when the whole community is trying to reconcile the past, and trying to move ahead. now with a number of people killed there is not that possibility. the anger will be just below the surface, and it will just need a little spark for things to get out of control again. that's the fear in jo s and around the country. >> why are we seeing this behavior from boko haram, does this play into their strategy.

>> reporter: well, a lot of people including the government will tell you that boko haram, the criminal boko haram, the ideological boko haram, probably boko haram has infiltrated the government. there have been members of the government who accuse the opposition in different parts of the country. the opposition would come up and deny this. but now people are seeing more and more violence, probably boko haram, following the state of emergency a year ago, for some time boko haram was quiet. and then r resurgence of violene in the northeast and it has become beholden. where are they getting their weapons, and why are they attacking at will with little response from the authorities. >> indeed, a lot of questions to

be answered. thank you very much. reports live from adamawa state in nigeria. thank you. in balkans region record rain has caused widespread flooding let's go about fill lessty. >> reporter: millions have people have been effected. hundreds of thousand of already struggling families have been left homeless. now the waters are receding and the true scale of the disaster is emerging. $1 million t1 million to 1.36 mn bosnians have been affected. 35,000 have moved from homes and 500,000 have voluntarily left. there are fears that they would be overwhelmed by the river.

efficient response so they can resume and use this unique opportunity to become a credible e.u. member and member of the international community. >> reporter: many countries are helping. european union has promised serbia access to an emergency fund. but it has to assess the cost of the damage first, so that money won't arrive for another six months. sandbags like these are protecting communities all over serbia. the waters are still high, and there is a risk of more flooding. that makes it very difficult for the government to start rebuilding the country. the government's priority is to fix serbia's infrastructure, including power stations like this. but that's bad news for people like this woman. she needs the money now to save what's left of her home.
