region agrees that iraq's prime minister nouri al-maliki, who says those calling for a unity government are trying to stage a coup. the presidential office is calling for parliament to reconvene on 1 july. here is muqtada al-sadr making his case for unity. >> the iraqi government have to help the sunnis. we need to rush the formation of a national government with new names and backgrounds, not based on sectarian quoters. who is muqtada al-sadr? he an an influential shia cleric. he formed the mahdi army. he has consistently adopted an anti-u.s. position. the army has been accused of

sectarian killings. muqtada al-sadr hoped to usher nouri al-maliki to power in 2006 and sense has become a vocal critic. we'll have more from hoda abdel-hamid in the kurdish region. caroline malone is at the jordanian border. first to imran khan, live in baghdad. to begin with, the presidential officer calling for parliament to convene on 1 july. what will happen then? >> well, that is the first part of the process in choosing the new government. it's partly a constitutional process. they need to meet. parliament will be sworn in, they have to choose a president, prime minister and a speaker. house. that will be the first big deft of the prime minister nouri al-maliki, depending on how many people he can get to support

him, he'll likely try to build a coalition, he is unpopular and senior voices within the iraqi political spectrum openly criticising. you herd muqtada al-sadr, a key cleric saying iraq needs to form a unity government. for a long time he's been a vocal critic of prime minister nouri al-maliki. heats under a lot of pressure. will the government be formed on 1 july? it's unlikely. the last time they met to form a government in 2010 it took six months. let's see how the political tea leaves play out. what we can and can't read from them is p.m. nouri al-maliki faces a tough time. forces in iraq calling for a national unity government. we know forces outside of iraq are doing the same think. british foreign secretary william hague arrives there. will his message be in line with the others, calling for the

unity government? >> that's really the key message that william maying is bringing with it -- hague is bringing with it. saying that iraq needs to form a unity government. they need to put the government into place as quickly as possible. that will be seen by many as meddling with internal affairs of the country. particularly in the government. he also has a message that he's willing to listen to the iraq yours for any -- iraqis for any request. they have rule youed out boots on the -- ruled out boots on the ground. >> correspondent imran khan joining us from the iraqi capital baghdad. thousands of iraqis have been displaced by the fighting between rebels and the government. christians east of mosul fled when they came under mortar attack. they are sheltering in erbil.

let's go to our correspondent hoda abdel-hamid in erbil. what is happening there? >> we have been here for the last five hours. i have to tell you there's a constant stream of people pouring through here. they are all from the town and surrounding areas. they said basically that their town came under mortar attack since yesterday, late afternoon. that intensified and all these people, despite the dangers - we'll show you how many people are exactly in this room, and this is just one room of the building. they have about eight to 10. they are christian, and they seem very vulnerable. >> and the fighting that they are fleeing from, who is

carrying that out. >> well, the peshmerga forces have deployed along these areas, in the disputed territory. that is because the iraqi army fled in the aftermath of the fall of mosul. they have been fighting in areas of protecting people, regardless of whether they are christian sunnis or shias. the danger here is that there has been a few flashpoints over the long border, about 1,000km. for now it seems that that border is becoming more and more volatile, and the peshmerga are fighting in more and more places. they are trying to stay inside the border. once in a while this fight brings them outside the border and they retreat. now, this mosul, the latest attack is really very close to mosul, about 20km away. when we were there there was a

checkpoint of sunni rebels about 2-3km outside of that town. this is just an indication of how close the peshmerga are to the sudanese rebels. there is a feeling here that really this fight was not concerning the kurdish north. at least so far, but people are getting more and more worried, and you do hear about people in surrounding towns who want to make their way to this area for their own safety. >> thank you very much for that hoda abdel-hamid. that's our correspondent joining us from erd ill. let's go to caroline malone at the crossing on the iraqi-jordanian border. what is the situation where you are, and who is in charge. crossing. >> i'm here at the border crossing, the main official

crossing between iraq and jordan. things are quiet on this side of the border. there's a jordanian military presence. you can see the army trucks behind me. trucks are passing through. there are people coming, driving from iraq, baghdad, down the highway towards imam. one thing that perhaps is different in the location, and we have spoken to people in the area and the nearby towns, 60km away. they have told us they are seeing less trucks, fewer vehicles than they would. this would be when people would travel to imam and fly out to jeddah, or they may be here for holidays, iraqis come for holidays. they are seeing 80% less people coming through a town. that is affecting their business as well. >> and how are jordanians feeling about the situation, about what is happening across the border.

well, on the whole jordanians are feeling safe. they are sad about what happened in iraq. all the military presence helps. when we travel it's a 4-hour drive. as you get to the border, there's a strong military presence, there's a few checkpoints, but the military is on standby in case anything is to happen. they feel sad about what is happening, but not particularly concerned thank you for that. caroline, our correspondent on the iraqi-jordanian border at treb ill. caroline malone, thank you. now, a cord in jordan acquitted a muslim cleric of being a spiritual leader of a group. he was extradited from britain and remains under arrest and faces charges in relation to a plot to attack tourists during new-year celebrations in 2000. to libya where there's been

low turn out for a parliamentary election. half of the registered voters showed up. the country is trying to elect a unity government to end political turmoil and violence which gripped the country since muammar gaddafi was overthrown in 2011 wednesday's vote was marred by the killing of prominent libyan human rights act visit in benghazi. she was shot several times in her home. she was a founding member of the libyan national transition council. mary fitz gerald is a journalist in it will i and knew her personally and joins us from tripoli. good to have you on al jazeera. as we mentioned, you did know sal va. your reaction to the tragic killing? >> well, the home city,

benghazi, and libya more generally is in a state of shock. she was one of the most prominent female civil society activists and human rights campaigners in libya. she was one of the lawyers, the benghazi lawyers that led the protest, but later kicked into an armed uprising in muammar gaddafi in 2011. many journalists met her for the first time in february, 2006, in benghazi. she was prominent, vocal, a face of the early days of the resolution. she played a prominent role in civil society and the secretary of the national dialogue. aimed at addressing lebian issues and the extreme polarization that took hold over the last year. there's a real sense of shock here at the moment.

it was one of hundreds of assassination in benghazi offer the last couple of years. what is different about this is this is the first prominent woman to be assassinated in libya, and a taboo of sorts has been broken and people are really shocked. >> thank you for that. that's mary fitz gerald, a journalist joining us from the libyan capital tripoli. thank you more to come on the newshour - including... >> she locked me in the bath room. i begged him to let me go. he kept me there for hours. >> tales of abuse from a u.s. state which is the top place for human traffickers. and brazilians priced out of their neighbourhood and how one of the most toxic places on earth turns into a playgrouped of dreams for

children back playground of dreams for children working there. at least 21 people were killed in a bomb attack near a busy shocking mall in nigeria. people were getting ready to watch the world cup. it is suspected that boko haram is to blame. they are blamed for the abduction of another 90 people, including 60 women and children in borno, the government is disputing whether the kidnappings happened. andrew simmonds reports from the state capital my duingary. >> behind the vigilante checkpoints one of the roads out leading to a no go area where boko haram has a big presence. it was a demander from this -- commanter from this state-run task force that was the first to report a kidnapping.

posted 60km into the military zone. now the state governor who employs the me says an inquiry is under way, but there needs to be checks on the accuracy of eyewitness reports. >> here in the state capital's displaced people center where the food queues are getting bigger no one is surprised by reports of more ab suctions. aside from hunger there's unrest here, anxiety, fear. >> the immediate needs of these people are obvious. food, shelter, safety. what they also want is some assurances for the future. where do they go next. who will look after their security. and who stands accountable for all that has gone wrong. >> this woman is from a village attacked by boko haram three weeks ago. her husband was rounded up with others and shot dead. killers came to burn her house down. she says the nigeria army was

nearby. >> if they had come, then we'd be happy. they should have saved him. because they are the ones who are supposed to protect us. >> this man is from a neighbouring village, and believes the federal government and the army have been negly gement. >> we are innocent. when we report an attack they barely come when they do come they stand by or shoot endlessly. every day we hide morning, noon and night. >> there's a feeling of hostility not just towards boko haram, but the army and politicians. what the people want is to go back to the new way of life. now, there's no prospect of normality. well, this is not the first

time soft targets have been attacked in nigeria. here is a sample of others in the capital. in august 2011 a u.n. building was targeted by boko haram fighters, 26 people were killed. again, in august of the same year, nigerian police headquarters were attacked by a suicide bomber. eight people died. on christmas day a catholic church was attacked. in april this year, a bus station in abuja was bombed killing 88 people. and last month the bombing device exploded in an evening market killing 19 people, those attacks were in and around the capital. there has been various attacks across the country. joining us now in the studio is al jazeera correspondent akmed idris, based in nigeria and covered the rise of boko haram

extensively. the government is promising to protect these soft targets. but, of course, they can't protect every school, maul and church, can they, are they in a position to protect the so-called soft targets at least in the capital abuja? >> well, on paper it looks like the government can. but practically, what is showing on the ground is that the government cannot. africa, nigeria's the largest oil producer, with vast resources, potential recruits for the army and police forces but is not using the money to take people into the armed forces or recruit. people are amazed that these things could be going on for a long time without a particularly robust response to the attacks around the country. the way it is now, the nigerian security forces are not in a position to protect every cost target. event the hard targets are difficult for them to control,

let alone the soft targets. these are only within the capital. forget the targets littered across the country. it's difficult for them to do that. >> how has the security situation deter rated to this point. when would you say that security forces are in control in nigeria any more. do the nigerian people have faith in them. >> the government insists that the security forces are capable of dealing with the situation. the nigerian people, ask the ordinary nigerian and they don't have the confidence, but the security is in a position to protect me. the reason, of course, is like what happened yesterday m abuja, the capital. this is a very, very busy area. and it's surprising that such a bomb could go off in such a place. already the security forces informed nigerians that fighters, boko haram, will try to target hotels. soft targets like motor parks, like shops, shopping malls, and

places like that, yet the bombs continue to go off. the last attack on a public placias in jos, it was in a market, and there are reports that people in the market reporteded to the police that they had seen a car parked there for a long time, but nothing was done about it. basically the government is not - the security forces are not in a position to protectory soft target in the country. they are overtreched and having so much to deal with. >> is that why boko haram is becoming more and more bold in the types of attacks that it's carrying out. that's. >> absolutely. that's a reason why boko haram is becoming bolder, and the attacks this year got deadlier. it's not within the government circle or outside the government circle. it's withinside the government circle. there are claims and allegations

by government officials that these people are better equipped, and trained than the forces. why is the government not putting so much resources into dealing with this. people are wondering if the budget resources and funds are being properliued lived. we heard senior government officials saying these people are better armed and equipped than the military. there was an order from the presidency that the security forces, civil and military can go ahead and recruit more people into the nigerian armed forces. >> thank you very much. thank you for that. now, at least 50 people have been killed in three days of sectarian violence in the central african republic. the spate of violence was triggered by the killing of muslims in the camp. they claimed to be from the

anti-bell abbingar. they have been fighting each other for months. attacks are becoming more frequent. >> translation: the security situation continues to be tense. the recent attack on a church in may where 11 people, including a priest were killed shows not only dangerous attacks but the radicalization of both parties and the risk of a worse situation. >> a lawyer for a sudanese woman freed from death row and rearrested on tuesday said she's accused of trying to leave sudan with fake documents. she was freed on monday after an appeals court overturned her death sentence from concerting from islam. she was due to fly from the u.s. and has been detained and questioned over travel documents. they accused her of committing two crimes, which is providing

false information to the authorities, and obtaining false papers. she has emergency travel documents from south sudan. we requested them to release her based on this, but they have refused. they have said that they need more time, they need 24 hours. this is absolutely not acceptable. >> pakistan's military launched a ground offensive in the main town of the tribal area of north waziristan. there has been shelling with tanks and artillery. the latest round of offensive against taliban. coming after two weeks of air raids. half a million people fled the fighting. >> staying in pakistan.

the majority of those half a million who fled have gone to the nearby town of ban u, authorities struggled to cope with food shortages and overcrowded hospitals, but help is arriving. kamal hyder is at a center where refugees from the fighting in north waziristan are seeking shelter. >> reporter: i am at a high school which has become a temporary shelter for the affectees of the north waziristan conflict. most of the people are christian, even though we talked to hinduse that sought protection. all minorities are whim, and they told the hindu community that they should bring the hindus first and the christians later. that is the spirit of cooperation and help that these people are providing to people who have no one. we have been told by a number of

these people that they were forced to walk for over 24 hours with their women, children, perimeters, some too old to make a difficult journey. what they are disappointed with is the fact that their leader-is nowhere to be seen. they are also citizens of pakistan. they'd want help from elected representatives who make tall promises that they will try to help their people. we have not seen anyone come to the school, which has become a temporary shelter. this is an ordeal not seen before. people that live in north waziristan for over a century and accepted as a community of the city are on the run and looking for protection. what they want is to see the leadership, to come here and rasp the words with deeds.
