>> hello and welcome to the news hour. it is good to have you here with us. here are the world's top news stories. >> tensions flaring in eastern ukraine, a convoy of pro-russian separatists is heading to donetsk airport. >> the former army chief al sisi in egypt elected. what to make over the low voter turnout.

>> at the syrian embassy in buy root, syrians in lebanon come to cast thor vote. >> vowing to fight terrorism, nigeria's president pledging to bring an end to boko haram. >> ukraine's government says at least 14 have been killed after pro-russian separatists shot down a military helicopter over the eastern city of donetsk. this comes as separatists have been seeing heading toward slovyansk airport. >> the government has taken control of the site, but the separatists the road leading to it. let's get more on this from our correspondent. david, can you give us more about the helicopter that was shot down?

>> it was a droop carrier. it wasn't a helicopter gun ship like we've seen around the skies in donetsk and earlier this week. apparently there were 14 soldiers onboard. they just put a new shift into an army base. including amongst those killed was a senior army general, the ukrainian government have confirmed that death toll, 14 killed when the helicopter came down. apparently the pro-russian separatists fighters were use ago surface to air missile. the fighting around slovyansk has been picking up pace. during the course of the day. they've not been using mortars in the city, they've also been using multi-barrel rocket attacks against those physicians. a very dangerous situation

there. >> what is the situation in donetsk itself? >> i'm standing at the regional administration headquarters in the center of donetsk and now many of those fighters that we saw in the convoy heading toward the airport have peeled off here and set up very strong positions around the administration building. of course, it will be this sort of believe behind me that will be the target of the ukrainian government army if they do come in here and try and clear these buildings. the soldiers here are actually volunteers from chechnya and are beginning to take control of the situation here and they've deployed across all the streets leading into this area. they are pretty expert at urban wear fair and taking control of the situation here. they've got rocket propelled grenades, heavy weapons, anti aircraft guns. they are ready for anything that the ukrainian army might try

tonight or the next few hours, was the next day. special forces will be used to take over this building if they do decide to launch an attack here. there have been reinforcements coming into the city, because i was about 45 kilometers outside the city early this morning when we got a tip off about an armed -- russian army truck, eight of them coming up the road towards us. we managed to fill them as they came, but some of the cars with armed men that were protecting the convoy saw us. they in very expert fashion cult us off, three cars surrounded us with that all the armed men came out. they took our camera and refused to let us have our pictures. it did calm down as soon as we showed the accreditation we have from the separatist fighters here in donetsk, but clearly that convoy was heavily loaded

with weapons and ammunition. they're ready for a fight here and they've been resupplied with that ammunition and those weapons. >> thank you very much. >> egypt's former military chief al sisi is poised for a clear victory in presidential elections, with 90% of the vote with nearly all ballots counted. voter purposeout reached 46% after extended a third day, but that figure is disputed. we have more. >> the official winner hasn't been announced yet, but these egyptians are already celebrating. preliminary results released by the government suggest the

former army chief has won elections with more than 90% of the vote. aljazeera, which is banned from reporting in egypt cannot independently verify the figure. this newspaper headline says sisi is on egypt's throne, for a new era. >> before our last breath, after a year, we were sent sisi. god saved us. >> it will change 180 degrees in sisi's era. we were living in anxiety in our home, terrorism, robberies and carjacking. there was real anxiety. now god will calm the situation with sisi in the picture. >> the election commission said counting is still underway and the final results will not be announced before next week. the original two day poll started on monday and was overshadowed by a law voted in. election officials blame it on a

heatwave and extended it a third day. there are around 50 million registers voters. an official says more than 40% of people voted. the opposition alliance including the outlawed muslim brotherhood insist that less than 10% of voters showed up. aljazeera cannot confirm this. sisi led the coupe against egypt's first elected president and wanted millions of people to vote for him. critics say he needs a high turnout to legitimize his military takeover. this heights a boycott by the young people who led the resolution that deposed must be rick. the election was never in doubt. many consider sisi a president in waiting. people remain divided. that could be a recipe for more unrest. >> let me start by asking you

about the low voter turnout and what does it say to you, if anything? >> it says a couple of things. the first obviously is that this ends up looking much less like the coronation that see eand supporters hoped it would. if you analyze the patterns of voter turnout, we see that you can almost sigh this was a refer demon the political path egypt has taken since the ouster of mohamed morsi in 2013. it turns out that the places that voted very heavily for morsi is the places you had lowest turnout in this election. >> it's very interesting. moving it forward to talk the government that's going to be formed now, what is either that first big job? >> i think if you interview 50 experts on egyptian politics, 49 of them will tell you that the first order of business has to be the economy, it has to be putting people in egypt back to work.

egypt has huge unemployment particularly among the youth and addressing that is a huge problem. sisi said this is a problem he wanted to address. the question is how do you address this problem. listening to sisi, obviously, he hasn't been very clear about his policy proposals. he's been very vague. to the extend he's been specific. he's said things that don't sound realistic. one of his plans is to buy a thousand trucks for young people to transport goods back a understand fort to the market. you need somebody with a real vision for solving egypt's problems. they need to figure out if they're going to solve this unemployment problem building up the stage, engaging in big massive project, building dams or deepening privatization, revitalizing the private sector. these are two different paths. nobody knows which path he wants to take. >> you're skeptical about how

he's going to go about fixing the economy. is the military going to play a role in governing? >> i think that formally, i would be doubtful. the current government has declared that it will resign once sisi swears the oath of office. we'll see what kinds of ministers he ends up picking. my bet will be that he will pick techno contractic ministers. we're not going to see a bunch of generals. that doesn't mean the military isn't today the power behind the throne in egypt and will absolutely have a very big say over any policies that sisi wants to take, be they foreign policy, domestic policy. >> egypt has band aljazeera from reporting in the country and we demand the release of our journalists that are detained there. they have been held in prison

for 152 days. the trial has been adjourned until june 1. they're accused of conspiring with the outlawed muslim brotherhood. aljazeera rejects the charges against its staff. was, aljazeera journalist has been held in a cairo prison without that morning for more than nine months. his lawyer has filed a third grievance with the attorney general demanding his release. he's requesting a medical report to document his poor health. >> syrians in lebanon have been given an extra day to cast the early vote for presidential elections after a massive turnout at the polls. lebanese troops have been patrolling the area and you said the embass in beirut, the countries only polling station. it was chaotic on wednesday. soldiers used ba to answer as thousands tried to vote. the syrian regime has been heavy live criticized for holding the

election in the middle of a raging civil war. we spoke about the scene yesterday as chaos. what's it like today? >> we're here at the embassy and many are here today, as well. their first step in the process of voting starts here. people present their identity cards or their passports. they get their names registered and then are checked if they are eligible to vote. many are workers or refugees. according to the embassy criteria, they all have to have crossed into lebanon through the legal border crossings, not through the mountainous areas and powerrous borders. many complained the crisis in syria has taken over their lives, home and country and are eager to see an end to it. today, this process is very

smooth and organized, but yesterday, it was a much more chaotic scene. since early in the morning, thousands of syrian refugees filled the streets leading to the syrian embassy in beirut. under the grueling sun, they waited at check points before their turn came to enter the compound. this is the only voting station in lebanon, even though there are more than 1.5 million syrians who now live in the country. this man waited for his turn for hours, but he wouldn't leave until he voted. >> i will vote for president assad, the guardian protector of the homeland. >> a man with his mother also voted for bashar al assad. >> as did this family. even though they come from one of the most rebellious areas in syria. some people here are staunch supporters of president assad

and consider this presidential election a sign of his military victory that he has won after three years of intense fighting. people refuse to blame assad for the destruction of syria. >> it's the syrian rebels who drove us out of our home, not him. >> many show that out of fear for their families still in syria, fear that they won't be able to return to syria if they don't vote. >> so many people seem to believe these days that president assad is not going away anytime soon and they want to be able to go home one day. >> desperation here could be seen as pregnant women, old people and parents with dehydrated children refused to turn back before they could vote. >> that was despite the rough treatment by security who sometimes struggled to control the crowd. neither the batons nor the heat, the thirst nor exhaustion were

stronger than these people said fear of a regime they now believe has survived the revolt. >> now the syrian government and ambassador here point to all these people, huge numbers to say this is credible election he is. the syrian opposition insists it's not credible, it cannot hold such elections during war and organized by the same president they want to overthrow. >> thank you very much, live in beirut. >> it's the first time syrians have had a choice of more than one presidential candidate. there are two people challenging assad. the former ministerial nori is running, and 43-year-old hajar is an m.p. from aleppo and is the third candidate. most opposition leaders were kept from running based on new

rules and requirements that they need to have lived in the country for the last 10 years. >> forces have taken control of a town in the northwest of the country. this video shows rebels celebrating their victory after months of fighting against government forces. the town has a strategic position and situated on the international highway between aleppo and damascus. >> dozens have been killed in a string of attacks across iraq in one of the worst single days of violence in five years. unrest is at its highest level since sectarian violence in 2007. many wonder if the attacks will ever stop. >> it's the sheer number of attacks that shocked many people, 16 across the country. one of the worst was here in baghdad where at least 10 were killed and more than 25 injured. >> a car bomb exploded here,

carried so many tons of explosives. >> across iraq it was the same story, shootings, car bombs, suicide attacks. violence is at its highest level since 2007 and shows no sign of stopping. the government blames the islamic state in iraq, but others say the security situation is a result of the prime minister consolidating power and alienating the people who could help him battle around groups. >> if it is the same man getting the prime ministry, the minister of defense and you always have the same plan, the same failure, the same power, man power, that means there is a major failure in the major file just like the security file. >> in anbar, there are ghost towns. the army laid siege to flush out fighters but sources tell us that large parts of fallujah is

still under their control. >> the government's tactics criticized, saying they shelled the local hospital at least 16 times. that's a charge the government denies, but it is trying to pressure i.s.l. fighters to try to get rid of them from the area. it seems the more pressure they put on them, the more fighters mount attacks outside of anbar province. >> that's a pattern we've seen before. they are using the same tactics as al-qaeda in iraq used against america and coalition troops. with violence riding, many wonder if any lessons have been learned and whether security forces can stop the attacks. >> still to come, all the customs and traditions must be done away with. >> ending the tradition of child marriage in zambia and across

africa. >> in new orleans, eaton nearly 10 years since hurricane katrina devastated the community. how they're still struggling to make a comeback. >> the latest from the french open. we'll have the details. >> former rival palestinian groups ever appointed a leader for the coalition government. the full makeup of the unity government is set to be announced in the coming hours. the two factions signed a surprise reconciliation deal in april, ending their seven year food. the announcement will bring an end to rival administrations in the west bank and gaza. >> we are live from ramallah.

what can you tell us about this man they're choosing to become the prime minister? >> he is actually currently the palestinian authority prime minister, he's been in this position for about a year now. what's interesting about him is that he doesn't really come from a real political background. he comes from more of an academic background. he's been the president of the university since 1998 and currently still holds this position and that goes back to the idea that this interim government is really supposed to be a techno contractic government. and you say mentioned, this is a seven year feud, they're trying to put this aside. it's sometimes a bloody feud. this interim government is supposed to bring this together, bring the unification together between gaza and the west bank. >> how difficult is it going to be in putting together this

cabinet? >> it's something they're discussing now. we do expect an official announcement of the full government in the next three to four days, according to sources close to the consultations. we do expect there will be a full 19 ministries, but possibly just 15 minutes, so some ministers will take on various cabinet positions. in fact, we hear about the interior minister. there's challenges ahead for the interim government. two goals, run the rebuilding of gaza, the second fair and free elections. this is just the first step in many that need to be taken, but it's a giant step at the moment. a lot of people didn't expect them to make it this far. a lot of naysayers said the palestinian unity wouldn't happen and be formed in five weeks. once they made the decision to

have that reconciliation agreement at the end of april. >> libya's caretaker has refused to hand over control. his predecessor said he's received conflicting orders from parliament and will stay in power until the situation is clarified. >> nigerian president says he's ordered his security forces to wane a full scale war against boko haram fighters. the armed group kidnapped over 200 girls from their school last month. speaking at the annual day of rest. he vowed to end the unrest on nigerian soil for good. >> i will protect by waging a total war against terrorism and

unity and stat of our country and the protection of lives, i've instructed our security forces to launch a full scale operation to put an end to the impunity of terrorists on our soil. >> the president expressed sympathy for the parents of those abducted, insisting that all will be done to rescue them. >> it's now been 45 days since the abduction of the girls. i warn again that the government will continue to do everything possible to bring the girls home. >> during president good luck jonathan's speech which was designed to mark 15 years of

uninterrupted democracy in nigeria, he mentioned government efforts to try a rescue and find the more than 200 girls kidnapped now way back in mid april. however as expected by many members of the public, there was no new information about exactly what the authorities are doing to try and bring them home. on monday, nigeria's chief of defense staff gave a statement saying that the military knew where the girls were but for operational reasons and security reasons couldn't go in there and rescue them with force, which led to the prospect and the belief that there might be some kind of negotiation in the works to try and get them back, though the government publicly has always said it would be prepared to negotiate with boko haram. at things remain, there is still no detailed information about what the authorities here are intending to do to get the girls back and international pressure to find them remains. >> the african union is now launching a campaign to end

child marriage. zambia is one nation where more than 40% of girls are married before the age of 18. we report where local chiefs are using their own methods to change the tradition. >> exams are on many students' minds but others have grown up problems. this girl eloped with her boyfriend. >> he wanted to convince my parents we should marry. >> but it's her books, not her marriage bed the parents are planning on. they ended her plans. part of a group of traditional leaders is trying to end child marriages. he calls the police in somewhat uncomfortable meetings like this. the husbands are often much older than the brides, but not this time. he's at university, she's at school. >> leaders agree that all the negative customs and tradition must be done away with.

basically at the moment, we are not going against the tradition, because the tradition has has been embraced now is to see that we get a community in zambia. >> ruth's early marriage was ended by the chief who often help pay for the girls school fees. >> i was missing for four days with my husband. my family was looking for me. when they found me, i was scared of what my dad would do, so i resisted at first. >> speaking at the united nations about child marriage, he spreads his message. >> the teenagers have all been given a second chance, but the chief doesn't ever the resources to send them all back to school nor address what he says is the main cause of these sorts of marriages, poverty. >> marriage offered a chance to be the head of the household, but the chief intervened and now she's back with her mother. >> there's no point at which we

consider the issue of marriage, because she was way too young. we want her back in school. >> they can't afford the $3 administrative fee to have her readmitted to school, so even with progressive leadership, poverty is holding her back. >> every year about 14 million teenage girls are married and many forced into weddings against their own will. this practice is most common in sub saharan africa. in niger, 75% of girls get married before the age of 18. chad is 68%. those figures come from unicef. marriages take place in the central african republic. we are with the african women's development and communication network. she said free access to education is one way to reduce

child marriage. >> one of the things that governments need to do is invest in education and invest in education in terms of the quality of education, making sure that it's safe and access i'll. we know that one, a girl with secondary education is six times less likely to marry as a child than a girl with no education, so there are efforts that are being made and efforts that do need to be made to fight it. we need to understand that child marriage also per pet waits poverty, and it contributes to the decline in developments and for our country, africa celebrating 50 plus years of independence and we're seeing this is a renaissance. as we look forward, it's critical that we make sure that we end child marriage now, because of the multiple consequences that it has on society. >> police say two teenage sisters found dead in rural india were raped and strangled

before being hanged. the bodies were found hanging from a tree on wednesday. autopsies confirmed that they were gang raped. four men have been arrested and police are searching for three more. authorities say the suspects include at least two police officers. >> let's now get the weather with richard. >> we'll look at the high temperatures across the region, certainly here in qatar, it's very hot indeed. the temperatures have fallen off today because of the wind off the mediterranean sea. by friday, temperatures should rise once again, it really is going to be very hot indeed. certainly yesterday, the hottest place almost anywhere in the world was here in the arabian peninsula with temperatures pushing 49 degrees around the gulf region. those are the current temperatures in the moment, about 43 in doha, humidity 5%.

it doesn't people as bad as those temperatures might suggest, but it is very, very hot indeed. it look it is like we are going to continue with high temperatures across the next couple of days. heat is continuing to build across into india and here, we've seen the temperatures ridessing in the mid to upper 40 said over last couple of days. that's certainly the case as we look at more central and northern parts of the region. here, we've got temperatures pushing 46 degrees during the course of friday, new delhi isn't far behind. as we head into the weekend, we could see temperature possibly record breaking, 47. >> still to come, a mass reach of europe's southern border puts the spotlight on overcrowded migration centers. >> missing for decades, japan moves a step closer to learning the fate of citizens abducted by north korea.

territory, it is where migrants cross over. how are the spanish authorities coping? >> spanish authorities are growing increasingly more and more worried and concerned about the situation here. this temporary migration camp in the heart of malia, of the 400 that made it over the fence, most of at this camp, all the camp was built to house 500 people, it's now currently sheltering 2,000. the red cross added extra tents to the inside of the carp to help overcrowding there. the army have set up tents outside the perimeter of the camp behind me. for those who have made it here, months, weeks of limbo pretty much awaits them.

they are now going to go through a pros of the authorities here working out what to do next with them. some will be allowed to move on from here to mainland spain, possibly to other parts of europe. for many others, they will be turned back. >> people are trying to breach security. what's the spanish government doing to secure the area? >> this is one of two keiland borders between the european union, between spain and africa, the site of concentrated efforts by thousands over the last five or six years or so to try to make it out of africa and eventually over into the european union. the authorities here know about that. they spent 30 million euros in trying to rein force the fence.

it's now six meters high, 12 kilometers wrong, topped with racer wire, video cameras some of the latest high tech sensors there, but still mike grants come by the thousands, swamping various different points in the fence. the hope is that the that you says that will attack the fence, a small number will make it across. that happened wednesday. the numbers seem to be increasing steadily despite what the spanish are doing. some blame the increase in naval patrols on the waters by the italian and spanish navies. they increased their patrolling to try to stop migrants from making it across by boat. still, what is clear is there are many, many more migrants from south saharan africa and make to it europe.

>> the team looking for the missing makes airlines flight finished its search without finding any airplane debris. the search was northwest of the australia coast. at least one person is missing after an oil tanker exploded off the japanese coast. seven crew members were rescued from near the port, four with severe injuries. the coast guard is searching for the missing man believed to be the ship's captain. north korea agreed to reopen an investigation into the fate of japanese citizens kidnapped in the 1970's and 1980's. it wanted to use them to train spies. many have been returned to

japan, many more missling. japan refused to accept that they all died. the prime minister said the investigation could help improve relations between the two countries. >> we were looking to canceling the special sanctions against north korea and the sanctions against humanitarian vessels entering into japan. as we look to work with relevant agencies, we'll look toward actions north korea takes. >> this is an interesting turn of events. how has this come about with relations between the two countries being to strained. >> it's a time when many observers see north korea as preparing to make good on their threat for a fourth nuclear test, coming after an exchange of fire between north korea and south korea forces. you have to accept that the prime minister of japan has made

this a really important foreign policy goal, namely the resolution of this abductees issue. north korea admitted to taking 13 hostage in the 1970's and 1980's. japan said it was at least 17, if not many more. with five returned in 2002, north korea says that the remaining eight that it admit it is to have died in the interim. japan has not accepted that. it wants a full accounting, if not having these national's returned. so, the nexus of this deal is that north korea will launch a special investigation committee, and that probe will try and find any survivors it says japanese nationals and start working toward returning them to japan. in return, japan will allow several restrictions to be lifted on travel, on remitting

money from the ethnic koreans who live in japan. that's on the table at the moment. japan saying that humanitarian assistance could be provided down the line. >> how is this deal going to go down over where you are in seoul? >> it's not being reacted to officially get by the government here. i think it's unlikely to be very popular. certainly the united states and south korea have been maintaining a hard line saying without concrete measures on denuclearization, there can't be any real engagement. the fact that there is now some engagement between japan and north korea will be looked on as a negative step in washington and seoul, however, both

countries also being aware that this has been on and has been accelerating in the last few months, so it won't come as a surprise, and president obama was in the region. he visited tokyo and seoul a few weeks ago. this will be on the table. what will be difficult, though, is if north korea starts to ramp up its behavior, again especially if there were to be a fourth nuclear test as observers look at satellite imagery, it appears there have been preparations for that. if that were to happen, this deal would be extremely difficult to pursue. >> china has started to nationwide anti terrorism operation. the campaign comes at 55 people are found guilty of terrorism related charges in a mass trial held in the same province targeted in a deadly suicide attack a week ago. from beijing, aljazeera reports

on how the government is trying to reassure the public. >> imagine beginning each working day like this, early morning commuters corralled like cattle. they are cueing to enter one of beijing said busy subway stations. there's a weary acceptance. >> i don't think the effect will be great. the real attacks won't take place in such a subway station. >> i was a bit worried before but feel better now that security has been beefed up. >> in beijing, armed police now patrol the streets. elsewhere, the early seems on a war footing. this show of force was in the capitol of the rest of the province and a response to last week's car bombings here that killed 39. the central government blamed the attacks on accept are

activities. such images are aimed at reassuring and increasingly worried public. >> the government wants to send out the signal that the committee to protecting lives and safety of the public in a more effective way. i think the chinese people will finally be ail to understand. >> in scenes that are enecho of china's retch illusionly era rallies, state media release photos of a mass trial held in a soccer stadium. 55 people were convicted of terrorism, separatism and murder. three were sentenced to death. the trials were unrelated to last week's violence, but it's a further sign of the intense filing security crackdown. >> beijing's not seen security like this since the olympics. the fact this operation is extended is a measure of how worried the government now is. aljazeera, beijing. >> we'll have a round up of all

the sports news. indiana pacers star paul george heaps more pressure on the miami heat in their title defense. >> these protestors have decided that today they will be arrested

>> the park opened to great fanfare, corporate sponsors lent their names and cash to the project and things looked promising. weeks later, the money ran out and skatepark built inside a local community center closed its doors. it was supposed to demonstrate the revitalization of the lower ninthward. instead, it signified its failure. >> when you build up big hype especially in an area like this where there's nothing of this nature and close it right there, it's like giving a kid what they wanted for christmas and taking it away on new year's day and saying you can't have it anymore. >> that's a current theme in this community. despite many areas bounces back, much of the lower ninthward remains uncared for. >> the community is a symbol of the neighborhood's persistent problems. homes are abandoned, only a fraction of the former residents came back. there seems to be very political

will to remake a neighborhood that was once vibrant. >> this is our future church. future building rather, our sacred place. >> his church was destroyed by the storm, but he's persevered and now a new structure is slowly taking shape. it's been a battle to raise funds, but he says people are returning, albeit slowly and in small numbers. >> people found better lives in our communities. that's ok. but how do you build a community, by giving them hope and somebody saying we can do this if we work together. >> across the street, a multi-million dollar community center is being built with super markets nonexistent. time is running out for a community center. funds to keep a building that has housed hundred was volunteer workers are dwindling.

>> every community in new orleans since katrina have formed a voice for themselves. we haven't been able to do that, because we have less of the community back. >> for the lower ninth ward, it's a picture of progress in continued failures. it could take years before this community returns to what it once was. new orleans, louisiana. >> as promised, it's time for sport. here's robin. >> defending champion nad is safely through to the third round at the french open. looking good for the record ninth title. this was his 61st victory in paris. he hasn't lost a game since 2009. he is bidding for a title. next up is argentina.

nadal beat fellow spaniard, breezing past in straight sets. he broke the italian serve five times. >> i think that this match was ok. i didn't really feel that great myself, but i think that the match was not brilliant. we would need perhaps a more brilliant match with something more on the forehand. >> on court, looking to confirm her spot in the third round, also in action right now is christina from france.

>> the lead by the indiana pacers, george scoring 31 of his 37 points in the second half, leading to a win in which they kept their series alive. this came a day after he was fined $25,000 for criticizing officials in the prefers game. the pacers must win friday in miami to take this series to a decider. >> i thought our whole team had a little bit of a yellow light mentality and got hesitant a

little bit when we got down. my message to the whole team is lightning needs to be on green for all of us. you need to go, attack and be aggressive. paul took it and ran with it to a crazy level. >> you have to give him credit. they stepped up the pressure as you would anticipate they would in front of their crowd. once they got us into a couple of sloppy positions, their energy picked up and paul george was -- he's great with anticipation tonight, creating steals on different opportunities, stills on the ball, sometimes passing lanes, that type of things. we have to do a better job about it. we know that getting shots is one of the most important keys to the series for us. >> malcolm glazer that died three days after celebrating his 86th birthday. he bought manchester united in a deal worth over $1.3 billion.
