somalia launches a campaign to stop a free for all trade in weapons. first to breaking news from libya. there are reports that unidentified war planes have been attacking targets in the capital tripoli. strikes come hours after rebel group from the city of misrata claimed to have taken control of the tripoli airport. earlier egypt's president denied reports that his country's armed forces carried out action in libya. dominic kane reports. a battle for control of tripoli airport. until this weekend, it was held by fighters who support libya's new parliament. it's now in the hands of militia from misrata, who oppose it. on saturday, air strikes were launched on their positions killing more than a dozen. the spokesman believes others

were to blame. >> translation: based on the intelligence we have, the u.a.e. governments are involved in this attack. we stress we have good relations with the good people of egypt and the u.a.e. libyan rebels want to make it clear that we'll defend the sovereignty of our homeland. egypt denied involvement. fighters who lost control of the airport are allied to this man, general khalifa haftar. based in the eastern cities of benghazi, but with an influence that extends across the country. he wants the parliament to be based in eastern libya, close to strong holds. he's accused of trying to take over the country. the parliament called for international intervention to find a solution. many people oppose that and the parliament itself. they want the old general national congress to return. it was set up in the wake of the

fall of muammar gaddafi. and based in tripoli. at stake is the future of libya. with fighting in many cities, and a political system seemingly at odds with itself, some international organizations are calling it a failed state. >> the general director of the sad abbing institute specialising in libyan affairs says that there needs to be an international effort to bring all the parties together to discuss the future of a future government. >> it's almost a systematic failure from the highest level. the permanent five members of the security council must take into consideration the nature of the allegations, not able to make the changes. the security sector warns the technical challenges, institutional arrangements that underpin the transformation and transition. these are the arrangements that

would narrow down the political free market that we have now. it's almost a defensive gap that muammar gaddafi left. who will fill it or what configuration will fill it. it's not sorted out by the electoral process. it's off the table and the only negotiations immunizing libya's democratic future from the problems at present. israel's prime minister binyamin netanyahu is warning people in gaza to leave any building where hamas fighters may be operating, his comments coming after an israeli air strike destroyed a multiapartment building in gaza. >> translation: i'm calling on the residents of gaza to clear out of any area from which hamas executes terror activity, every place like this is a target. >> jane ferguson joins us from gaza. how are people responding to the warning? >> well, people are taking it

extremely seriously. where i'm standing here in gaza city, behind me is the rubble of what was a 14 story building until about 7:30pm local time on saturday night. i'm joined by abu hassan, who lived in the building with his family. thank you for joining us. how did you and your family get out alive last night? >> there were three persons in the building, they called them telling them to evacuate. >> they being the israelis. >> yes. and my daughter told me, so we evacuated as we were. and 10 minutes, they shift a racket. small racket. and they called again, the israelis called again and asked people around the building to move away because they are going to destroy the whole building. this is what had happened, 10 minutes later. two minutes and the building as we see. the israelis said there was a

hamas operational center operating in the building. how have yourself and other residents of the building reacted to that. >> it's not true. people are living here, and they know each other if a stranger would come, and they would know him and not allow him, and i don't think that the leaders come to such a big building like this one. that's true. i suppose that if it would want to kill somebody, they would not destroy the building before they do it all the time. it's not true. you and your family have to find somewhere else to lie. presumably there were dozens of families in the building. >> where will they go? >> everyone has to manage the situation himself. now we - some people brought tents, we will put them here and stay here until they find a solution for us. most of the people don't have a place to go.

the schools are full, hospitals are full. no place to go. we will stay until they find a solution for us. >> reporter: other buildings in the neighbourhood have been warned and israelis are focal. that people should get out of buildings. how are people in the neighbourhood reacting. this is a residential area. >> this is two buildings they warned. that one also, and people spent last night here. they have been evacuated. in all the buildings they have a lot of refugees. and they came here. people are in those buildings. there are over 600 persons here in this building, you know. now they have no base. >> thank you for joining us. that really adds, jane, to the housing crisis across the gaza strip. around 300,000 people are

sheltering in u.n. schools here. today should have been the first day of school. that's likely to be delayed for weeks. >> extraordinary. thanks for that jane ferguson. >> iran's foreign minister mohammad javad zarif is in baghdad for talks. dozens have been killed. violence near the iranian border is getting worse. iran will support the prime minister designate and try to help the county find stability. there has been fighting near the syrian city of aleppo. these images are said to show opposition fighters shedding areas held by soldiers. one target was a prison. yemen's government offered to resign and review an unpopular decision to cut fuel subsidies. it includes an offer to form a new government amongst tens of

thousands of hutus who have been protesting for days. 35 nigerian police officers are missing after boko haram attacks on a training academy in the nearby state of borneo. the group seized the city earlier this month. the military said it is preparing on offensive. we are joined live from abuja. tell us about the search for the missing policeman. >> well, the somewhere general of police said it's premature to speculate on the fate of the men, whether they were kidnapped by a group in action, or whether they were hiding in the bush. this is consistent with previous attacks we have seen. sometimes it takes, days, weeks, until what happens transfires. it was on saturday evening -- transpires, it was on saturday evening that the police ooen acknowledged the attack.

ong battles have been witnessed between security forces and boko haram, after the group moved to take over the village this month. all of this is happening in borneo state which in recent weeks and months have been battered by the group. boko haram is the traditional stronghold, the birthplace - borno state, rather is the traditional birth place and stronghold of boko haram. we have seen the group wage large offensives and brazen attacks, including that kidnapping of the schoolgirls in april in that state. >> brazen attacks, and yet the security forces have been criticised with the slow reaction to dealing with a group and retrieving over 200 schoolgirls. >> well, in may of last year, the government security forces, the military imposed a state of emergency on the three states most affected by boko haram's violence.

borneo state and others. we have seen the military battle the group and push it back to its side outside. mainly the forest. while the military viewed that as a victory, many say you it's clear security forces failed to sustain the pressure. we have seen the groups failing to step up attacks. and a shift in strategy by the group, where they are not hitting and running, but ceasing and maintaining the towns, raising the flags and taking over communities, indicative, of course, of how the group is being emboldened and the nigerian security forces do not appear to have the upper hand in this conflict. somalia has seen a quarter of a century of conflicts and there are believed to be half a million guns in circulation.

getting them off the streets is a priority for african union troops from mogadishu, we have this report. >> after years of struggling for control, the somalia government seems to have realised the need to scoop up illegal weapons. here the african union peacekeepers and troops raid the houses of people they call warlords and militia leaders. the operation is called a success, and they will continue until they bring back a measure of stability to the country. >> we will not stop until we reach a point where we need a warrant of arrest, not guns to arrest criminals. the current chaos cannot continue forever. not every militia needs to be disaround. this is a man keen on keeping private armies. former warlords say the me fight for the government. and that earned him enemies.

>> the government should provide security for people that may be targeted, or let them keep their weapons. i believe people like me will not be disarmed. we are waiting for the government response. >> somalia has known little peace. warlords and profit ears battle for controls. a massive plea has been fuelling the conflict between them. just a few days ago, this was one of the biggest arms market. the traders abandoned it. the massive trade in guns here under ground as well. >> reporter: in a city suburb we met a young man trying to sell an ak-47 rife. with the market watched by the government. they are officially part of mogadishu's iltrade in arm. -- illegal trade in arms. >> translation: we'll continue to sell arms to anyone that needs them, until the government

provides us with alternative employment. this is our job, the only one we know and all that we care about. the whole of somalia will be no easy task. many believe it can't be done by force. months and years of negotiating with militia me and clan elders. the government will have to reassure those who bear arms that it has the capacity to fully protect them now. some of the stories coming up, we meet the medical workers bringing bangladesh up to she had and its response to serious accidents. plus... >> i'm andy gallagher, in ferguson, missouri, we'll gage reaction from the white community to the death of a black teenager by a white police officer.

>> hundreds of days in detention. >> al jazeera rejects all the charges and demands immediate release. >> thousands calling for their freedom. >> it's a clear violation of their human rights. >> we have strongly urged the government to release those journalists. >> journalism is not a crime. >> fault lines labor day marathon the true cost of cheap labor >> nothing can be worse than this people burnt to ash... >> horrendous conditions... traffic labor on us bases... management stealing wages... exploited children put to work... >> how many of you get up at 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning to go out to the fields? don't miss our award winning series fault lines labor day marathon only on al jazeera america

the top stories on al jazeera - unidentified war planes attacked targets in libya's capital tripoli. the strikes follow claims by misrata fighters that they captured tripoli's main airport. egypt's president denied his armed forces have been involved in any action in libya. israel's prime minister warned people in gaza to leave a site where hamas members may be operating. binyamin netanyahu said his army will attack locations they believe hamas is using. iain's foreign ministering -- iran's foreign

minister mohammad javad zarif is in egypt for talks. violence is getting worse near the border. iran will support the iraqi prime minister-delegate and help with stability. now to the strikes we hear about in libya. on the phone from tripoli, our correspondent. can you tell us about the strikes. >> yes, it's been really quiet in the capital since yesterday, especially after bolivia forces managed to take over tripoli. also, some strategic canvas areas that are taken over in suburbs of tripoli, which they are opponents, and occupied for almost three years. the reason that libya's leaders say that the reason for the

battle is because they are from the city, and have aligned with renegade retired general. the leader of operation dignity, the leader of several militias. the opponents have muammar gaddafi forces among the individual according to the libya, during operations. and they had occupied the camps around the routes since the deliberation of tripoli from former dictator muammar gaddafi. now, there's a major advance in the battle on the ground when the libya and the opposition forces accused egypt of flaunting their positions... >> sorry, i will ask about that.

egypt denied it's been involved. is that what you are seeing, is that true? >> we seem to have lost mcmoud. we got from him what we needed about the strikes. foreign ministers from several arab states are meeting in jetta to discuss a crisis in syria, and the spread of the islamic state group. egypt. georgia, qatar, the united arab emirates. the share of contemporary politics at the london school of economics says arab states have a lot of work to do. how can you ignore the fires raging in yemen. lebanon is on the brink of all-hout war. iraq is in tatters. one would hope that these major

players - you have egypt. qatar, yooupted arab emirates. basically they'd try to construct a vision, a roadmap to reduce tensions in order to build a process of building institutions. i doubt it very much whether they'll be able to do so. this is behind the capacity. the goal at the moment, and the americans are pushing hard that the fight against i.s.i.s. is a priority, in particular for the americans. the islamic state now not only controls 35% of syrian territories, and 35% of iraqi territories, they are on the jordanian iraqi border. they are on the saudi iraqi borders. >> ukranian president petro porashenko's announced that $3 billion has been allotted to reequip the army, and he was speaking during independence day celebrations. a parade was held in a show of

military might to separatist rebels in the east. we have this report from slovyansk. >> independence day marks the day 23 years ago when ukraine gained independence from the soviet union. with the conflict here, it's taken on a new meaning. in the ukranian capital there are large-scale celebrations and parade. here in the city of slovyansk which was under separatist control, celebrations are somewhat muted. the group of people behind me are celebrating in a way that seems to emulate a victory parade. perhaps that is too soon. not far away fighting continues on a daily basis. ukranian army together with volunteer battalions are testing the defences of the separatists that remain, largely in control of the city of luhansk, along

with donetsk. the leadership in kiev are keen to consolidate power and authority, keen to show that they have friends in the west. german chancellor angela merkel was in kiev on saturday where she urged the ukranian leadership, and russia, to work out a solution to the violence. here in the east of the country though, the prospect of peace seems, for the time being, a long way off. >> iceland is on high alert after a small lava eruption was detected on a glassier near the bardabunga volcano, it banned air traffic and raised the alert level to red. that's the highest warning, and means the volcano could soon erupt. the region was evacuated as a precaution. thousands of protesters marched in ferguson, missouri to mark

two weeks since police shot and killed an unarmed black teenager. other demonstrations took place in new york and washington to protest police brutality. in st louis a counterrally was held in support of the police officer that shot michael brown. andy gallagher has more on how a white community is reacting to the shooting. snow day at the former's market. the small city is 20 minutes drive from ferguson, but feels like a world away. the population is white, and has some of the highest incomes in the state. whilst most are aware of michael brown, and the international attention it garnered, reaction to events down the road are muted. >> we see it on the news, on facebook news site. other than that, it's minimal topic of discussion. >> it was probably going to bother people. i didn't know to this extent.

it was just kind of frustration that we are having she is issues. >> in ferguson a similar market aims to replace food families ka no longer buy after local shops were looted and burnt. people are coming together to help. it's the experience of living in mostly divided communities that raised the issue of race. >> it's all pretty sad. i hope it's over with over here. >> reporter: gary mortimer has been cutting hair in clayton for 50 years. whilst he followed event closely, he sees nothing wrong with the way things are. >> the cops, you see them all the time pulling the cars over. that tells me that they have expired licence plate. that would be number one. >> you don't think it's racial profiling in any way? >> no, no. they are doing their job. that's what their job is. >> this is the boulevard in st

louis, viewed as a racial dividing line between the poor black communities to the nor, and the wealthy neighbourhoods to the south. it's not surprising that the event in ferguson are viewed with indifference, and a belief that justice will prevail. as long as they are living here, change will be slow to come. let's go to baghdad. there's a live press conference under way between iran's foreign minister mohammad javad zarif and his iraqi counterpart. they are talking about the increasing violence in iraq and which is nearing the borders of iran. let's listen in for a bit. >> the conditions, and we have discussed other mutual cases, and we look forward to achieving all and implementing all agreements between iraq and the

islamic republic. we hope to achieve that by the new government. that will be formed, and will be given priority, particularly when it comes to subjects like the bolder agreements achieved and made by the negotiators from iraq, and iran. before the deadline of this government, and once again i welcome my dear guests in baghdad and welcome to baghdad. [ speaking foreign language ]

i'm afraid we'll have to leave that. we don't have a translator for the moment to translate that. shall we listen in on mohammad javad zarif talking again? no, we are going to leave it. basically we have mohammad javad zarif talking of the new government in iraq, it needs to be inclusive to get the support and aid that they need. let's leave that. road accidents in bangladesh result in fatalities at about 30 times the rate in u.s. or britain. a major reason is the country has no first aid response system for road emergencies. we take a look at one group in the capital dakar trying to change that. >> reporter: this is an emergency room in a public hospital. patients end up here from all over bangladesh. many are turned away by emergency rooms in other

hospitals. >> a lot of emergency rooms are not equipped to deal with trauma patients. we hear from the two major republic trauma centers that a huge number of patients have been turned away before arriving there. he went to two other hospitals before being admitted to this here. it took a few hours to get here. >> translation: it took an hour, hour and a half before a doctor came to see me. >> reporter: these people are fortunate. they are alive and getting treatment. this is where a lot of misery happens, emergency room doctors complain that every day patients arrive too late and die from complications that could have been treated or avoided.

>> reporter: bangladesh doesn't are an emergency response system. no easy number to dial. when there's an accident paramedics don't rush to the scene. a group called critical link is trying to do that. critical link... [ explosion ] show of force - israel unleashes more air strikes on gaza as egypt calls for peace. [ chanting ] and marching for justice. thousands of people take to the streets peacefully protesting the choek hold that killed a new york man. >> keep walking backwards. >>
