thi >> hello, you are watching the news hour. we are live in our headquartered in doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes. more than 200 school girls still missing in nigeria, now we hear of another 91 young people having been abducted. egypt's president says he won't interfere with the jail sentences given to al jazeera journalists despite international outrage. the media campaign to free them continues al

jazeera hold a vigil. the u.n. says the death toll in iraq has reached 1,000 in the month of june alone, and the government forces fight sunni rebels. >> start request the news coming out of nigeria, where security forces are investigating reports that 91down people have been abducted from several villages in the northeast of the country, and this, of course, follows the abduction of more than 200 school girls that was back in april. well, let's talk to al jazeera, who normally works out of nigeria, so you know it very well indeed. what are we witnessing then? another series of abducks over several villages taking place again in the northwest of the country. >> absolutely. and this looks like an escalation in boko haram

in that part of the country. i remember why the abduction took mace. more nan 200 school girls were abducted. but these have been taking mace for other a honk period of time, maybe three years. this is an escalation because of the fact this this year alone, perhaps it's the moodiest that was ever recorded. so these abductions indicates that bo caha ram activity is definitely increasing and it looks like the security portions are finding it difficult to contain this. >> and that despite a fact that a state of emergency is now over a year old in at least three states, in that part of the country, so why is the military the nigerian military, obviously one of the biggest and most effected why is it finding so difficult to police this part of the country?

>> first of all, this issues of most -- many of the militaries officer whose are operating in that part of the country, not from that part of the country and that's the reason why they are involving they are involving people like civilians, or vigilantes to help the military in tackling this insurgency. but then the problem is that there are reports that the nigerian military force, is unequipped, that boko haram has more equipment, and well trained people that are giving their all to take over that part of the country. although they have denied the fact that boko haram has more training and equipment than the military, the situation on the ground, and with people, are talking about is that these boko haram attackers are better arms. >> we are now being told

that we can talk live on the line to correspondent andrew simmons who is there. and he can join us now, and tell us a bit more about what you managed to find out about the series of abductions which is what we are talking about. >> well, first and foremost, we have spoken at considerable length to the commander of the joint civilian j.t.f., it is a joint task force, now he says that over a period of time, three days, wednesday, thursday, friday, that there was a series of abducks of people, a mass kidnapping if you will. in which young women and some young girls apparently were taken by the fighters. also, a total of something like third men, young men, were taken also.

and it is clear -- there are also a report that four that fries to resist were shot. this information had filtered through the security forces but the police, cat goricly say they have not had a formal report. we spoke to the police commissioner, who declined to comment on what action he was taking, but said cat goricly that he had not had a formal report of these abducks. now, this is not unusual, apparently, would you believe, there have been abducks in the past in which they have been reported in the media, and indeed by local government officials but no mar mall inquiry has taken place. that's how the situation stands right now. >> and andrew, it seems that we are seeing a pattern of behavior being carried out by boko haram by which they are taking

innocent civilians in order to swell their ranks, and the security fors seem powerless to do anything about it. >> well, that's the way et appears, now we do know for a fact from our sources that on saturday boko haram attempted attacks on three villages in 30-kilometers that the niger yang military responded with considerable force for several hours, and they were seen with using military aircraft, but in this instance, these reported abductions if it is true, there is another escalation, it is by no mean as repeat of the kidnapping from the school, which we are now in sha book, now in day 71, since those 267 school girls before taken hostage, taken into the bush, and now we have a

figure of 218 missing. and the traumatic situation for so many parents living in insecure conditions. all of this, i hasten to add, all othis area, the area in which these reported abductions have taken mace, all of this zone is no go and more so now than ever. the military is banning the media from accessing the area, and there are warnings of kidnappings and getting caught in cross fire between the two forces. so it is a difficult position to verify these reported abductions. it is very hard to go through and verify those and al it's very hard to get information directly from the military or the police any more. right now, we are reliant on the hearing from local government officials on occasions and this civilian jtf force, which is effectively a

individual happenty force. >> andrew simmons reporting live in northwestern nigeria. you may remember the sunnis woman who was sentenced to death on charges of abandoned is ham and then released. the 27-year-old is now in the national security office. nowish bring him's far was muslim, now she is convicted of amoss tisty for marrying a christian. we will keep you right up to date regarding mariane and her fate. an egyptian president says he will not interfere in the judicial system. were given seven years in jail, and mohammed got ten years nearly for doing their job. i call the minister of

justice and told him one thing, we will not interfere in judicial matters because the egyptian judiciary. no one interferes with the affairs of state institutions no one comments or talking about said institutions. we must respect court rulings and not except on them, even if others don't understand these rulings. >> well, it's al jazeera headquarters here in doha, we all joined together at exactly 41 minutes past 8:00 for one minute of silence. and in london, bbc journalists came together at the same time to market that since the sentencing were handed down on monday. barn biphillips has more now from london. >> many bbc journalists took part in this protest, because they personally know and respect the work and integrity of peter gresta

who worked here for many years. but management, i believe, think there is a wider principle at stake, that that verdict in a cairo courtroom is an attack on journalism itself, an attack on free speech, and is intended to intimidate other journalist whose way want to report from egypt on the affairs and the months and years to come. the bbc head of news says this organization and other british organizations will be sending a letter to president ceci calling on him to intervene. the story has been very high across commercial television, across british newspapers over the last 24 hours. >> not only journalist whose have been condemning the verdict, world leaders have too. u.s. secretary of state called the sentencing chilling and draconian. the british foreign secretary said he was

appalled and that they were unacceptable shortcomings during the trial process. the dutch foreign ministry said the minimum requirements for a fair trial were not met. david drake canada's ambassador to egypt, said he was very disappointed and that canada didn't understand this mar verdict. the australian prime minister said his country was shocked, dismayed and billetedderred. he told the parliament it will be in touch with his counter parts to bring peter gresta home. the parents of peter have been speaking about the heartache of that verdict. in australia. >> the family members of peter were united in disbeef as they walked into the australian media. it had been just hours since the verdict was handed down in the cairo

court. >> this family is certainly determined to battle on. journalism is not a crime. or you should all be behind bars. it is as simple as that. our son peter is an award winning journalist. he is not a criminal. he is not a criminal. >> this will be a hard time for me, but i know he will get through it, and mike and andrew, they'll support him, and he'll be okay. shull probably he will get through it, and he will be fine.

>> speaking to al jazeera afterwards they were still coming to terms with the decision, but smoke of their determination to continue to fight. >> we just can't see it. that peter is in jail and is locked up. and now he's been massed as a criminal, and that's very difficult. >> doing his job. >> the fate has been a big story in australia for months. but the severity of the sentence has propelled it to a new level. >> mixed in with the dismay, there's sure to be a lot of anger, but they are being very careful about what they say. expressed his condition about a clear attempt to avoided making the situation worse, didn't criticize the government. >> we are obviously

shocked, dismayed, really bewilders by the decision of the court in egypt. of course, we appreciate the rights of the egyptian justice system to make its decisions, yes, we understand the need of the government to maintain internal odderrer and to crack down extremism, including the muslim brotherhood, but, but, it isn't important that the due process -- >> the government says it is going to push for the counter parts to intervene in peter's case. as for an appeal, the parents say they will consider the options in the days ahead. al jazeera, brisbane. >> well, civil society and human rights groups have also been joining the cues. chief among them, amend necessity international, which described the sentencing as a dark day for media freedom in egypt.

when journalists are being locked up and granded terrorists simply for doing their jobs. human rights says it is a started mission, practicing professional journalism is a crime. adding that the new constitution guarantees of free expression aren't worth the paper they are written on. an appalling attack on press freedom, which carries threat to all media. that try to offer a different take on reality from the governments. the u.n. has released a report, that over 1,000 people have been skilled in iraq in june alone.

john kerry is in the north of the country, where he renewed his call for an inclusive government, the sunni rebels continue their offensive. now, thousands of people are being displaced by the on going violence, they have been seeking refuge in camps like this one. hundreds of would be fighters are joining us to fight the army. they want to push back the rebel groups, that have been gaining ground over the past two weeks. and, vigil army has sent reenforcement to the al karama border crossing. they have been increasing security, following reports that sunni rebels captures the jordan, and crossing with syria. baghdad denies rebels are in control of these check points. john kerry says his

counted support, would be intense and sustained. of the curds the president in the northern part of the country. the central challenge that we face. in recent days the security cooperation between the forces here is really critical to helping draw a line with respect to isil. is also providing support to the iraqi forces. >> now, there's been a suicide attack in lebanon's capitol. a consider bomb ex-moded close toen a army check point, and was heard across the city. one security officer was killed. at least 20 others were injured. well, more now from the

scene of the attack. >>s in a sensitive area. it is at the edge of beirut. and here in the shiite, it is mostly shiite, supporters of the speakers of the parliament. the explosions took part right here, after he went against traffic, and it was such a strong explosion, that the body of the suicide bomber was thrown up, to the fourth floor of that building. it is a residential area and a commercial area. many of the people would have been on the streets but most people here were watching the world cup inside their homes. there is also a very close by -- dozens of people were there, young men, who were watching the world cup, otherwise the casualty could could have been much higher. it is not a surprising attack, it is the second attack in four days and security forces believe it is a direct fall out

of what is happening in iran. the violence there has encouraged and emboldened the group here in lebanon, to start acting again, and security forces beef they are trying to pre-empt to attack targets security targets and shiites. >> also to come here on the news hour, including crumbling glory, why this city could lose the remains of it's majestic wall. plus. dial in, how your phone can be used in the fight against harmful bacteria. and in sport, inspires to victory. a dramatic night coming up. ♪ now former andy was

ed story of a newspaper when the illegal activities took place, but they also acquitted. [launches lee, and how important -- how significant. >> well, it's very important very very important for the british government too. so after an eight month trial, and all these have been around for some years now, there are two major headlines although the jury is considered oravecks. two major headlines the first involved andy courson who is a senior for the working newspapers in london, he had claimed for really quite a long time that he knew nothing about those allegations of hacking that were carries on while he was in control

of one of those newspapers for example, the phones of the parents of the missing girl, they found murdered. being hacked celebrities and others as well. the jury found him guilty, they are still considering two verdicts against him, but they found guilty of one charge of hacking so it looks like he will have to go to jail. a assed as spin doctor, look, i have been assurance and he has been -- and different proved wrong, that i could apologize for and those turn out not to be the case, i always said

if they tinned out to be wrong, i would make a full and frank apology, and i do that today i gave someone a second chance, they turns out not to be right, and i said if they turned out not to be right, i would apologize, and i do so today. trying to distant himself from the past, and try to limit any damage fairly early on. better news, the other big friends, rebecca brooks who they were in fact lovers, but despite that, and her seniority, the jury decided that she was unaware that hacking was going on, and that indeed she was cleared of other allegations in the corruption, and leading the police the wrong way

in their inquiries as well. so she was cleared of everything, she left, of course, without comments but i dare some have already seen that mr. cameron will be particularly pleased at what has happened to her. since her reputation is under criminality is clear, even though there's some -- professional damage to her preparation, since her main defense was she was in charge of an organization in which she didn't know everything that was going on. news international who tried to stand by her, and that they apologized for it and putting it right, and they can't do anything else, because league proceedings are going on. the impact on the british ministry. >> . >> the phone hanking scandal destroyed careers and the famous british newspaper to say nothing of the pain caused to

it's victims and according to many, it has further undermined public faith in journalism. >> phone hacking involved only a small section of the press. but obviously the news of the world, now the lunatics man to be put in charge of the asylum. >> members of the royal family, celebrities even the innocent victims of crime, everyone was fair game. once the full scale emerged driven by public outrage, the politicians were forced to establish an official inquiry into how best to control the excesses of the press. >> it recommended new self-regulation backed by law, elements so far rejected. >> then there was the apparent cozness between those and power and those tasked with holding them accountable. rebecca brooks was a regular in his social

circle, and shouldn't editor and a prime minister ever been so chum my? one of the defendants in this trial was the prime minister's press secretary, that's about as chose of a relationship as you can get. and you have to ask questions about how that was allowed to happen, and that the warnings weren't heeded. >> why were they initially so reluctant to investigate phone hacking when the first case emerged. anything to do with their close relationship with journalists and some newspapers in the public had drawn their own conclusions. the the aftermath may at least lead to a greater degree of separation to journalists, politicians and the police.

getters remind us it was not uncovered by the police, or parliament, but by journalists working for another newspaper. al jazeera, london. >> all right, let's go to ukraine where a cease fire was declared, in order to get prorussian separatists to lay down their arms. and this is the back drop to a new move stood today, which has seen russia move to revoke a bill, which allow it's troops to protect its citizens. now the legislature by president putin, because the president is welcomed the new coming from moscow. to be precise, and first of all, this must be a fairly positive sign, the fact that president putin has decided to revoke this rather controversy legislation, and perhaps it's a sign of his intenses not to do any more with regard to ukraine.

>> i think it is a positive glimmer of hope, martin, yes, but i think it is also important to see the big picture. this edict that was first issues was originally intended to provide a backing in russia, at least, for the president annexation for russia's annexation. away from ukraine, now the fact that they have now been annexed and eastern ukraine area where i'm standing now, doesn't look like it is going to get annexed then you could see this law that they had on the books is frankly unnecessary, and he can get rid of it without losing any face himself. the other thing to look is that on friday the union leaders. to impose new sanctions against and potentially against some people. so by making this announcement on tuesday, he has reduced the likelihood that the e.u.

leaders will go through with those proposed sanctioned. so he is playing a very tactical game here. and i think it is important to see the big picture. there isn't the likelihood that r. sha will use military might, russia has for many weeks now been accused of using underhand tactics. supplies arms, and men, not closing the border, so that these arm arms and men can equipment can cross into ukraine, and that's not part of what the president has closed down today. so there are many other ways that he can do more to help deescalate here, but for the moment, it is removal of this revoking the law is certainly a positive step. >> great, thank you very

much. paul brennen there live, okay, now let's get a hook at the weather, and starting with australia, what's going on there, stef? >> it's been really stormy there, and if we have a look at the satellite picture we can see a very distinctive little swirl there. that tiny swirl there, that was the center of the area of low pressure, and that's where we saw the worst of the winds. but even around melbourne, we saw gusts around 100-kilometers per hour, now that is very strong. it brown down trees and power lines then there were around 50,000 people without power. if we take a look at what that also did, as the wind also blew the waters of the river, and that's caused some blooding in melbourne as well, so around the central business district, there

were scenes like this. now as we head through the next couple of days things will improve, still for us on wednesday, melbourne will have gusts around 40-kilometers an hour, and sidney will see them around 60, however, if we head off to new zealand that a's where we will see more destructive weather as we head through the next 24 hours. you can see the cloud is already edging it's way. and very very heavy downpours as well, potentially causing some flooding. >> thank you very much, indeed, stef. still to come on this news hour, we report from gaza, where public workers are really struggling to get by after months without pay. i'm adrian brown reporting from beijing, on a feisty group who are taking on their government, over a broken promise to provide homes. >> and in sport, the australian open champion make as winning start,

signed up to, as well as australia, could be a venue for actually condemning egypt for it's main breech of the right of freedom of expression. that's an international right, and egypt is quite wrong when it says we can't have interference in our local affairs. the whole point of international law which protects freedom of expression and fair trial, is that other kins can demand that states that breech international law as egypt has, should be held accountable. >> israel is continuing to accuse hamas of the disappearance of the three teenager settlers in the occupied west bank, and the palestinian administration isn't just under pressure from israel. there is growing anger among thousands of employees who haven't been paid for months. charles stratford reports

>> abdul kareem continues without salary to treat people who depend on him for their lives. it seems pressure is also mounting on the new palestinian government to survey. al jazeera, gaza. the military operation against taliban is being put on hold until ordinary people can heave the area. but many of them are stranded in the town, reliant on handouts for survival. he sent this report. >> tens of thousands of people from north have fled. right now the population is about 1 million. but it is estimated that over 300,000 people have already arrived here in this town. and there is still a considerable number of people who are still stuck inside. it is summering here, as you can see, these are

long lines of people who are looking for rations, most of their families are putting up with locals here. the situation is dire indeed. these people need more distribution points so they don't have to wait so long. they also want support from the government, and from their people across pack span, because they say that this is a tragedy, the country has seen tragedies in the fast, when millions of people were dismaced. but what is happening right now, is of critical importance to pakistan. s in also one of the most difficult operations being undertaken by the military, as you can see, the human tragedy speaks for itself. but the ground operation is something that might take weeks and months and it is not clear whether these people will be able to go back any time soon. now indian minister has been brought to a standstill.

>> they are unlikely rebel rowsers, most are in their 70's, and now daring to stand up to their government. they are blockading the entrance to an apartment block on land they once farmed. the local government promised them new flats if they moved out, that was 20 years ago, and they are still waiting. if they keep treating us like this, how can the people trust the government, how can the people trust the communist party. what happened to this village is being repeated across china. where land requisitions have become the biggest source of unrest. but these are perhaps some of the oldest protestors. they feel angry and let down by their government, the fact they are prepared to speak out to the foreign media is a measure of their desperation. >> she says she is not afraid of being arrested, she is lived alone in temporary accommodation since her husband dies

six years ago. he never got to spend his retirement in a new home. and she worried she won't either. the government kept telling me to wait, they said one day you will move into the new apartment, so i waited and waited i am also 80 now. >> some points to an apartment on the 11th floor, but she took over without permission last month. that was after the developer began selling gnats to outsiders. other protestors have also taken matters into their own hands. the electricity and water have been cut. she insists this flat is rightny hers. not even a confrontation with police has deterred her. >> i told the police that

that's why researchers in the u.s. state of oregon decided to look at a unique selection of thousands of naturally occurring microbes that populated our skin are also present on the phones. they hook at 7,000, and found 82% of them were also present on their phonings. each person's cell phone has more in mock with him or her, than with anyone else in the world. so my cell phone, has some of the very unique bacteria that i have in and on my body, and that don't show up necessarily. >> the discovery opened up the potential to use mobile phones as bacterial and environmental sensors. this could include real time screening of the smart phones of hospital visitors rather than the people themselves. >> in the foreseeable future we might have some sort of device, in a

hospital, where a nurse or a doctor, can put their cell phone down, and in a matter of a few minutes they will know whether there's a risk of taking dangerous path johns out of the hospital, or in the beginning of the day bringing something into the hospital. >> there's also growing interest in personal health and fitness technology, the possibility of adding personal microbe analysis into the phones could greatly enhance this. even allowing authorities to track the spread of disease in a population, or given the owner of a cell phone an alert when he or she a.m.ed microbes. and 20%. pretty much everybody in the world knows this. it is the water lilies of course it is by claude monette, one of the most famous french impressionist painters.
