that load. it exploded near to a very busy market at around 8:30 tuesday morning. a lot of people there. we don't know the casualty figures but it was a big blast and some described it as a fireball. yet, another bomb being blamed fairly and squarely on boko haram by the security forces. they are very active in this area. and this is the birth place of the set which started its insurgency in 2009 but the number of attacks now are on a daily basis now and no real way of describing the enormity of the problem facing nigeria civilians and indeed the military and the police. >> have there been any arrests that have been made? >> reporter: not related to this bombing but there have been a number of arrests made by the military. a statement that has been

released saying that this is connected directly to the kidnapping of 276 school girls 30 kilometers from midugary and they effectively have broken up what they call a terror cell and arrested a business man who they say, the military say was a vigilante who was acting as an informing and actually giving information, having infiltrated the group about the whereabouts of various targets. no, in turn, this man apparently led to the arrests of two women and the military say these two women, one of them was effectively a pay master for the cell and they say that this has, they actively participated in the abduction of a girl, 219 of them remain missing and this is a 78-day of that kidnapping and the parents obviously in a terrible state getting variable information, how much this means in terms of the attempts to get

them back is unclear, how much it means as to whether or not that crisis will come to an end is unclear. >> andrew thank you for that, andrew simmons reporting from abuja. israel has destroyed homes and a palestinian has been shot in the occupied west bank after the bodies of three missing settlers were found and gaza strip shit by 34 air strikes in response to rocket fire and the prime minister benjamin beth beth accuses hamas of killing the settlers and says the members will pay and hamas denies involvement and will open the gates of hell if israel attacks and jane ferguson reports. >> reporter: intense search for the missing teenage settlers ended on monday afternoon, three bodies were found in a field near hebron city and they blames hamas for their killing and prime minister benjamin netanyahu said after an

emergency meeting that the entire jewish people were deeply saddened and hamas is responsible and hamas will pay. the first israeli response to the news, the demolition of the homes of two palestinian men that the israelis believe played a role in the disappearance of the three teenagers. they went missing on june 12 hitchhiking home from a religious school in the occupied west bank and israelied gathered outside the home of one of the families as news spread of the three deaths and he responded promptly to accusations they were involved. >> translator: the disappearance of the three settlers was an israeli story, used as propaganda to start a war against our people and we warn israel against a stupid action and the they want war the price they pay will be more than previous wars. >> reporter: a massive manhunt

was launched by the military when three went missing and 600 palestinians were arrested and fears of revenge attack by angry settlers in the west bank by palestinians and news of discovery of the three bodies sinks in attention turns to what the israeli government and military will do next. a crack down on hamas began as soon as the teens were reported missing. intensifying measures against the group could be much more violent and jane ferguson, al jazeera, the occupied west bank. and we have the spokesman for the prime minister and joins us live from jerusalem and mark thank you for joining us on the show. israel has placed the blame squarely on hamas. just what evidence do you actually have on hamas' involvement? >> reporter: the evidence is unequivocal. you have the two primary

suspects, the people who are directly involved in the kidnapping and murder of these three teenagers, they are known hamas activists from the city of kabran and everybody knows them and are public figures and part of the hamas movement. >> what exactly is the link though? what is the evidence between -- what is the link between them and the disappearance of three settlers and their deaths? >> reporter: they were directly involved in the kidnapping and the murder, we know that for a fact. we are at this moment very much pursuing them and want to bring them and their accomplices to justice and this should come as a surprise to no one. the leader of hamas two, three weeks ago on the sister arabic channel publically called on supporters to conduct kidnapping operations exactly like this one. >> well, mark, since the three settlers went missing, israel

took military action and has arrested over 500 people and still those suspects, those two men you are looking for have not been found. what more are you planning to d do? >> reporter: well, we will continue. we will pursue these killers until we can bring them to justice. that is our goal. obviously these people are criminals. they have deliberately targeted teenagers and we shouldn't be surprised hamas has a movement is an extremist, radical, and declared not just by israel and europe and canada and australian and countries and more said hamas is a terrorist organization because hamas has a history of these sort of atrocities. >> you already targeted hamas' west bank, you have not found the men, are you now going to turn your attention to gaza?

>> reporter: our operation in gaza has been primarily defensive. over the last month you've had some 80 rockets and missiles fired from gaza, hamas-controlled gaza into israel and yesterday my prime minister said either hamas stops the shooting of rockets from gaza or we will do it ourselves and no country will sit by and see the civilian population being bombarded day after day bitter by terrorists and it must stop and will stop one way or another. >> doesn't this just fuel the cycle of violence over and over that the region is already known for and already there are reports of settler violence against palestinians in the aftermath. what is the government doing to trying to calm tension? >> reporter: i think the

overwhelming atmosphere as to in israel is one of mourning, a very solemn atmosphere and with the young men who were murdered, it's solemn and stoic atmosphere in israel and it must be clear hamas is directly responsible for this violence. hamas is a radical organization, not unlike lebanon or isis in iraq or boko haram in nigeria, these are extremist groups that have no qualms whatsoever of forcing through deadly violence, they are radical, extremist agenda on innocent civilians. >> mark, thank you for being on the show, spokesman for the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu. we move on and the parliament has failed to elect a new speaker, the first in forming a new government and has been

adjourned until july 8 and he is under pressure accused of sectarian policies and his political opponents blame him for the rebellion by fighters who declared an islamic state in parts of syria and iraq that they now control and explain to us why they have failed to elect a speaker of the house. >> reporter: well, there seems to be some confusion morning the parliament here as to what was supposed to happen today. there were some that thought there was no need to try and elect a speaker of the house today, that they would have time, others are saying well actually today is the first day we should be able to do that all around the performance was disappointing i have to say and didn't meet for very long and met for two hours with a 30-minute break in between. what this is a real disappointment to the iraqi

people and the international community, iraqi people were looking forward to their elected representatives, choosing a speaker of the house and then therefore that triggering another constitutional procedure which gives them 45 days to elect a prime minister. that hasn't happened. there is more delays. we have seen this before and saw it in 2010 and took them nearly 8 months to elect a prime minister back then. now the situation clearly is even more acute and they do need clear leadership. this may, however, play well to prime minister maliki who will say parliament cannot agree and i'm the only leader to bring iraq out of the crisis and it can play both ways but it will be a disappointing experience. >> he is speaking to us from baghdad. and iraq and one group fighting the rebels is northern iraq and they are kurdish and their role in defending territory from the

islamic state has been crucial. and we filed this report from taza south of cook where some of the fighters are based. >> reporter: this kurdish general has been losing men on the front line. they show me a piece of the mortar that hit their makeshift base and says fighters belonging to the iraq state and renamed islamic state and attack is one omany over the past few weeks. >> translator: this is strategic territory and we are here to protect it. islamic state fighters want to reach the city. >> reporter: we are in the southern region, this oil-rich providence has long by claimed by the arab, kurd and turk communities and when groups swept through the heart land a few weeks ago they laid claim to the arab districts and also managed to take over bashir and they are positioned at the edge

of the town from where they launch attack on forces. >> translator: the iraqi army fled bashir when fighters stormed it and the fighters executed civilians and we have to take positions here to protect people and protect the place. >> reporter: the forces were never based here. in fact, the sunni offensive against the iraq government allowed kurdish forces to expand areas of control. bashir is part of the district of taza which lies on the front line. it's an area populated by turkmen and it used to be at least, people have fled. it is now under the protection of forces but the iraqi flag is still hoisted here. the armed men manning the entrance to taza didn't want to be filmed and are turd mern memb -- turkmen but feel cheated by the

kurds. >> translator: there are those who want to divide iraq in the sunni regions and the kurds are involved in this plan and not fighting the so called islamic state and protecting the territory they grabbed. >> turkmen fighters have tried but failed to retake bashir and my exploit the current crisis but admit without them the flag of the self declared islamic state would be here instead, al jazeera in taza. >> more to come in the news hour and the deadline passes and will the government be able to pay its creditors. plus former french president sarkozy is held for question over corruption probe and in sport algeria had a good fight but are knocked out of the world cup and details coming up, later. ♪

turdish prime minister running for president and the ruling party has candidacy on tuesday and for an elected president and one is trying to court the kurds from istanbul we explain why. ♪ for turkey's kurds the outlook has never been brighter and they are courted by him as he runs for presidency and significantly he is kick starting a two--year-old peace process with kurdish activists, for almost 30 years they have been fighting for a separate state in turkey southeast. >> translator: it's really clear, the calculation is for the kurdish role and there is foot dragging over the past two years and not much achieved but

they still manage to keep up expectation of the expect saying he is the only one to solve the problem. >> reporter: in 1923 the presidency has been generally ceremonial and this is the first time they will vote for head of state and if he wins he is expected to use that popular mandate to make his office more executive and less, ceremonial. he is leaving nothing to chance, the kurds makeup around a fifth of turkey's population. >> for the first time they are in a very compared to before strong position but they are dealing with a very masterful, skillful politician and more often than not an shrewd and

always lucky and always able to make stronger gains for himself and positioning than anything else. >> reporter: most people were school children they were banned from speaking or singing in their own language. and he and his party improved that cultural rights. the kurds will be relying on erdogan to continue to do that if he assumes the presidency. i'm with al jazeera in istanbul. >> for more is a political analysts and is live from there and thank you very much for being with us and just before we actually get into the nitty-gritty of the presidency and the race, what is actually behind erdogan's decision to run for the presidency? >> erdogan's party has a three-term rule and he is already finishing his third term and he declared several times

after finishing his third term he is going to quit from the office regardless of what happens so presidency is something like magical exit for him and he tried it several years ago but due to the system and military and judiciary more than prevented the party in the first place to elect a president. and at that time he showed abdullah, his current president as a candidate. so it's seven years later candidacy and expected from the beginning and just ten minutes ago he already announced it. >> given the political challenges that erdogan has faced in over a year or so as prime minister, now what are his chances of actually winning the presidency? >> what is expected is he could win in the first round. if not it's definite for him,

almost definite for him to win the presidency in the second round. >> even though despite the fact that he has been rather unpopular particularly over the last year and a half, his leadership as prime minister has been challenged many times on the streets, do you still think he will still win the presidency and why? >> definitely, definitely because that challenge does not show itself in the polls. we just got out from local elections in late march, march 30th, and his party had an overwhelming, very clear success. and that was the biggest spot any party got in local elections. when you translate into again elections like presidential one that is for the 5% that will manifest itself more than 50% and it's proven and politically

expected. >> mr. ozan the presidency is largely a ceremonial role because erdogan has plans to make it more influential. what shall he be proposing? >> first of all the presidency in turkey was never ceremonial, one, it's always depicted like that but it was the last guardian of the system which is by military and judiciary. by electing the president directly through the people it will give him a political capitol and he already announced he is going to spend it. how to spend it, he told many things today and three issues was important and he was talking about new constitution, resolution project on the kurdish issue and active foreign policy. this is what he is expecting from the presidency. >> mr. ozon it's great getting your insight and thank you for that, political analyst. japan has made a historic move

away from its post world war tw two policies and end a decade's old ban that prevented its military from fighting abroad and the constitution was drafted by the u.s. when americans occupied japan after the end of world war ii and it banned japan from using force to resolve conflict except in the case of self-defense, but the old rule has divided public opinion for years. this latest decision doesn't change the words but rather the way the words are interpreted. china criticized the change and its relations with japan are strained because of a territorial dispute because of islands in the east china sea and we have the advisor to the cabinet of prime minister and he joins us live from the japanese capitol tokyo and thank you very much for being with it and they have not demanded the constitution and let's get that clear, he merely reinterpreted it.

explain to us why the need to do just that now. >> i think japan deserves celebration, if i may say so, because japan has been for long time an uniquely isolated case that has continued to say is no matter trouble you are under, i would come to help you unless i am under the threat or attack. suppose you are in a train car and you have found a passenger under serious attack and you have said in theory i could help you, but in practice i would rather not. which country would you like to trust more? such a country that japan has been or the country that would be willing to say, yes, in my capacity i would be willing to come to help you. >> now, your japanese

neighborhoods disapproves of the changes and can you categorically say reint intreins will not start a war with any other country? >> it's an absurd question if nothing to be blunt to respond to you. japanese government has said nothing of that sword, the japanese constitution remains intact and if you look at the track record, few nations other than japan have used military force either for threatening others or for actual military engagements. so the track record of the japan says volume about that. >> give us an example then of how this reinterpretation of the constitution can be used in this day and age and give us a particular scenario.

>> right. one of the scenarios that you can think about is that of the peace keeping operations that the japanese troops have been engaged for sometime under the ban of the united nations. previously or even if your neighbor be it from any nation is under attack, the japanese troops, cannot say or could not have -- couldn't have said that we could help you and from now on with some of the legislative bills passing the parliament, the japanese troops are operating under the u.n. banner for peace keeping operations, for instance could be just like anyone else. >> so thank you very much for joining us on this show. >> you are welcome. >> advisor to the cabinet of

prime minister. tens of thousands are taking part in a prodemocra democracde demonstration in hong kong and it's the return to chinese rule and organizers hope it will be the biggest show of opposition since britain handed it to chinese in 1997 and they want beijing to grant the special administrative region for electoral freedom. and agent brown has been covering the demonstration for us from hong kong and says the protest can be bad for business. >> reporter: hong kong is a noisy place in the best of times it's going to be extra noisy today and the reason for these pinned up emotions is on many levels but it's talking about they are interfering too much in affairs and people are angry the new leader and next leader of here will not be elected in a free vote and china says that

won't happen and it's the only place that enjoys the democratic free -- from freedoms they have and it was signed between britain and china before the hand over in 1997 and what you have essentially is a deepening pollinazation and it's a dangerous pollinazation. now hong kong is a law-abiding place but civil disobedience is there and why so many police will be on duty. some protesters will be staging a dress rehearsal of a mass occupation of the central business district and that is worrying business leaders because of course this is a world financial center and big companies don't like protests. >> let's check the weather now with stef and earlier on we are talking about flooding in brazil and now moving to argentina. >> once the water is on the

ground it has to get to the sea and it's a long way to go actually before it gets there. let's take a look firstly at the pictures we are now getting out of the northern parts of argentina and these are from the province which is on the border with brazil, brazil had to evacuate 50,000 people from their homes and paraguay we, evacuated hundreds of thousands from home because of heavy rain over the past three or four days. if we look at the rivers there in the region, this is why all of that water is still going to cause problems over the next few days. the wet weather we have seen and the flooding on the ground in southern parts of brazil is going through the river and that works its way in the northern argentina and flowing through the province and the one effecting the paraguay river, it joins the paranah river in the northern parts of argentina and

the city has to watch closely over the next few days to see what that water level will do and how high it will rise. fortunately though there is no new rain on the horizon, not over the next few days at least. this is the low pressure and moving away toward the east. behind it it is going to stay dry. it's not going to be that warm and we will get to 18 and the average this time of year is near 23. >> thank you and still ahead on the news hour, president barack obama asks the u.s. congress for $2 billion to help improve border security. the unmade beds that may make a million and the signature piece goes under the hammer in london. and in sport top seed is due to the sixth straight whim be -- wimbledon quarter finals.

first step in forming a new government, and they have been adjourned until july 8 and prime minister maliki is under intense pressure accused of promoting sectarian policies. the former french president sarkozy held for questioning and denied doing anything wrong and sarkozy is considering a political come back after his defeat two years ago. and we are joined live from paris and this is a very complex case, isn't it, just how does arcow si -- sarkozy come to be questioned by the police? >> reporter: well, what we do know is that the lawyer for nicholas sarkozy the former president and two seated judges were taken into considering on monday and it was expected that nicholas sarkozy would be considered by judicial police sometime this week. in the early hours of tuesday he

made his own way to the police headquarters just outside paris and now this is all part of an investigation into allegations which the french media have been reporting, allegations that nicholas sarkozy sought to obtain confidential information about an investigation into his campaign funding in 2007. and that year he won the presidency. there have been many allegations there was improper funding for that campaign including allegations that some of the money came from libya's former leader myanmar gadhafi and they say that sarkozy used his influence to try to get a job for a senior judge in monocco but he was tipped off and phone bugged thus helping his case. it's just an allegation at the moment. nicholas sarkozy is being questioned. police can hold him for 24 hours and that can be extended for

another 24 hours which would take us into thursday. >> all right, now, many of his supporters are calling or questioning the timing of his questioning and saying this is a conspiracy against sarkozy's political career. why would they be saying that? >> well, they are saying that for a couple of reasons. firstly, they see this as a hindrance to efforts to regain the central right party at the end of this year and he is predicted attempts to become president again in 2017 and also saying that because they can point to a string of allegations over the last few years, none of which have stuck and nicholas sarkozy is has charged and has not been charged yet in this allegation of obtaining, trying to obtain confidential information. but for his allies this is part

of a political machination if you like by people on the left to block his come back into major politics. the government spokesman in the last few hours reacted to this saying that nicholas sarkozy is being treated like any other citizen but this is unprecedented we should add and nicholas sarkozy, a former president, has been detained like this or kept for questioning. it has not happened before. a lot of people are lining up to say that, well, this is a normal procedure and his allies are saying the way the media are reporting it could actually harm the presumption of innocence. at the moment what we know is nicholas sarkozy has not been charged with a crime and he is questioned and could well be released within 24 hours. >> thank you and he is speaking to us from paris. in eastern ukraine the army has

resumed the targeting of pro-russian bases after the president porshenko ended a cease fire and the decision to end the truce must have been influenced from abroad and the cease fire was repeatedly broken which included the shelling of a separatist stronghold in slovansq and we are live in eastern ukraine and paul just give us an idea of where you are and what is happening. >> reporter: well, i'm in the center of here and in a separatist town 20 kilometers south of the separatist stronghold of slovansk and what he said in the televised address in the early morning of tuesday and one line was as follows the armed forces will not get them use force against peaceful people and never hit residential neighborhoods and i'm standing in a residential neighborhood and you can see there is new damage here and i can confirm it's damage because we were here just two days ago and this is a heavy artillery shell and the

building behind me has been hit, residential apartment block and this building is a school where we are told by locals there was a shelter. i have encountered at least three residential builds that have been hit and the picture as we have been here is a little more complex than the simplistic and separatist held and a local resident told us the buildings are used as a impromptu shelter and it's a blurred line between what it is and this is the line of the separatist and it's 200 meters in that direction. you can see that some of the shells have been very much wide to the mark. as we just tiptoe through here we can see another building on my left-hand side through the glare of the sun, you can see the smashed windows and probably the starkist impression of a

shell arrived here in the early hours of this morning after the cease fire was ended. and on the side of that building there my camera man richard can have a look up from the benefit of the shade here and see how the shell has gone in. direction of the shells they are arriving at is from the north and that would strongly suggest and we have no verification, strongly suggest they are army shells coming in because army positions are in that direction. you can see definitely the cease fire is over, antiterror operation such as the government in kiev calls it has resumed but not as accurate as they would have you believe. >> terrifying pictures and terrifying for the residents there and what that are they saying to you about this cease fire being over? >> well, we spoke to a couple of -- several residents and what the general sentiment here is i asked them do you ever think it would come to this and most people we have spoke end to actually believe that some kind of anything ya negotiated

settlement would continue or talks would continue and did not expect the conflict would be resumed in quite such a way. the president porshenko from his vantage point was left with no option and in his speech last night he said he extended the cease fire and the separatist military had not met conditions laid down and had not opened up the door saying they captured and have not handed back prisoners or postages and no moves toward negotiating the surrender of their weapons so from the president porshenko's point of view and by the west of the country he had no choice to oust the separatist from this part of the world. >> paul is reporting from eastern ukraine. the u.s. president barack obama has asked congress for $2 billion to help improve border security. more than 50,000 children from central america have illegally
