away, nidaa tounes will be able to reach out, to have a minority government. this may be a problem for nizaa tounes, given the fact that the other parties that came third fourth fifth and sixth in these elections are of a different agenda. for instance a coalition of left wing and marxist. the challenge for nidaa tmentounes is to convince other parties to agree. for a party to rule for the next five years. >> okay, hashim. thank you. deadly attack in central baghdad, back to imran khan. you were telling us about what you knew about the car boax that went off and the latest casualty

news. the northern town of kobani has seen the most intense bombings in weeks. within sight of the turkish border. bernard smith is near kobani on the turkey syria border. sent this report. >> i.s.i.l. forces have again tried to take control of the border crossing into turkey, they have been sending mortars into the area all day, heavy fighting sunday night into monday again concentrated on that border. i.s.i.l. believes if reenforcements come for the kurds in kobani, those reenforcements will come through the border crossing which is why i.s.i.l. wants it. the black smoke that you can see rising behind me probably from tires, both sides light fires

set tires on fire to create a smoke screen as they move around the streeghts. air strikes again on sunday night helped the kurdish fighters keep control of the border crossing. they were essentially and they were almost too late the kurds are telling us, an indication of how much they rely on those air strikes but an indication on how much they need more reenforcements. the fighter jets flying overhead, they have to fly long distance often from the gulf jordan or cypress before they reach this area of operation, they have to fly back and refuel. there can be large gaps between sorties, large gaps when the air over kobani is empty of jets and that allows i.s.i.l. to make their move. >> hundreds of thousands of people in the north of iraq have been forced to leave their homes because of i.s.i.l.'s advance. charles stratford reports a lot

presence in the province. taking the city would be strategically and symbolically important. it would cut off vital government supply license and give opposition groups control of the main city. the only other city flil fully out of the government hands is rakka now under full control of i.s.i.l. there was an intense fight for idlib back in 12, opposition force he took city for a couple of days before the regime managed to take it back. it's been under their control ever since. a warning to the government that taking idlib remains in their eyes a realistic goal especially after this latest assault. stefanie dekker, al jazeera. >> group includes a prominent figure during the revolution in 2011. they've previously been arrested but the trial was stopped in

politics, there is the conflict surrounding the pro-independence movement in catalonia but also we are approaching an electoral year that is considered to be very important because the traditional, the bigger parties are now very much in disrepute. precisely because of these cases of corruption. so this is one corruption case too many perhaps. people are very angry with the main parties, including of course the ruling party, and this is going to act to that anger and to the fluidity and the complexity of the political situation in spain. >> at least 11 people have been killed in afghanistan after taliban fighters attacked a court in the northern city of kunduz. the taliban has taken advantage of a security gap left by withdrawing security forces. jennifer glasse reports from kabul. >> the policy of afghanistan's justice system, the prosecutor's

they will need warm clothes and medical care for their children. however because of the ongoing crises in islamabad which is of a political nature and the fact that there was a recent flood in the punjab it appears that the government's priorities is changed. the people of north waziristan need help and they need it soon. >> at least 130 people have been killed in the libyan city of benghazi. >> the latest flash point. the site of fighting between antigovernment militias and force he during libya's 2011 revolution. now want to enforce strict

to enter tripoli last week and called for mass civil disowe beadisobedience. but in tip li the message has not gone down well. >> life is back to normal, you can see how crowded the shops and popular markets are. >> there's no civil disobedience at all. the people work and the security is okay. thank god everything is well. >> despite the fighting by frieps trand armed groups libya's oirl exports have not been affected. the national oil corporation is functioning as all conflicting parties need the oil money. oil proceeds are going into a central bank, thousands of public employees still need to be paid and that may well be the only delicate unspoken rapprochement between libya's warring forces.

traffic them to those who can afford to buy them. >> after finding the trafficker took a $10,000 cut per kidney. they are awaiting trial in what is thought to be the first case of its kind in cambodia. now officials fear this could mean the country has become a new frontier in the underworld of organs for sale. >> we believe that after this case we will continue to find where there are more cases of kidney trafficking in phnom penh and the province along the border. >> as for che selling his kidney didn't lift his family circumstances as hoped. they're still in debt and he's filled with regret. natasha guinane, al jazeera. >> more to come. ukraine's new parliament after a big election win there. and in sport we'll vista the basketball academy in senegal that's hoping to turn africa's

>> top stories in al jazeera news hour. police confirm that car bomb in baghdad has killed at least 15. nobody has claimed responsibility for that attack. tunisia's ennahda party has not gained predominance in the recent elections. corruption in spain for over $300 million. what is a dangerous escalation that could lead to an explosion of violence. israel has announced the intention to build 1,000 more units, among 15 illegal

settlements housing some 300,000 israelis in east jerusalem alone. while the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has announced to parliament, ncs tayeb has been monitoring that situation for us. >> he will not consider any unilateral moves and that a mutual agreement will be met that would encompass israel's security concerns. he also addressed the news that the palestinian president mahmoud abbas, is considering going to icc, international criminal court to press war crimes charges. mr. netanyahu spoke directly to israeli soldiers saying that israel will represent them in

court but perhaps more importantly defend their public opinion as well. so mr. netanyahu making it very clear that if israel is taken to the icc by the palestinians they will fight any of those charges. but in the backdrop of all that is the announcement that a thousand units will be built in occupied east jerusalem. very significant expansion of israel's housing units. that puts in sharp focus the tensions we've seen in past months, skirmishes between israeli informs and palestinians and the news of this settlement expansion certainly isn't going to solve that issue any time soon. >> well once a left wing freedom fighter brazil's first female president has won a second term in office. now she has a task of reviving the economy and reuniting her

country. dilma rousseff secured just over 51% of the vote. her rival, aecio neves took 43%. rousseff did well in the amazon north and she did well, as well, in moor northeastern states. while neves took more of the wealthier and developed parts of brazil. now the leader must reconcile the country. the president has promised to reboot the economy, which has slid into recession, and fight corruption allegation he that the opposition has tried to link her to. rousseff is calling on brazilians to unite. >> i would like to greet and welcome all brazilians. i do not believe honestly from the bottom of my heart that these elections have divided the

country into two halves. the elections mobilize ideas and emotions that have at times been contradictory however, they've been driven by a shared feeling, the search for a better future for our country. >> however crossing over to the united states, we are going to speak to the director of the latin american school of advanced studies. thanks for being with us on the al jazeera news hour. not sure if you heard that sound bite by dilma rousseff to unite. is she able to unite them? >> the campaign was a bitter and divisive campaign in which a bit of invective was thrown back and fort. where she accused aecio neves as incompetent to govern. >> fixing the economy is really

a big issue for brazilians. we saw the stock market sort of drop after the election. so what does she have to do to successfully convince the electorate that she can overcome the recession? >> she needs to first get rid of her finance minister who is incompetent, and restore the confidence in the central bank and to find a formula to get the economy growing again which it is not at the present time. >> do you think she'll be able to do that in her next four years in office? >> i don't think she's thinking about it. i think unfortunately she thinks her victory will allow her to go back and do the same thing she's been doing for the last four years. which means the country will be in a terrible situation in four years. >> what about the workers party, her party, how strong is it?

>> it is strong in some parts of the country, in the north and northeast, the amazon. it is very weak in the center, south and middle of the country. >> and for neves psdp party it lost this presidential election, it's lost others in the past as well so can it recover from this? >> i think the election campaign is going to be areal jolt for the social democratic party, of aecio neves. she'll be a lame duck when january rolls around and she's inaugurated. dilma rousseff will have to deal with many small political parties that have not been in congress before. it will be a complicated and difficult process for her to sell her program. >> thank you, for joining us from washington. parties there seem to

dominate parliament. the president petro poroshenko is expected to lead a new government. barnaby phillips reports. >> this television station played a crucial roll in the overthrow of victor yanukovych. it is popular with the maidan generation, the young and educated from kiev and other cities who want change in ukraine. what does natalia want? >> the first three parties are writing like more or less liberal, moderate parties, system is not perfect but in general, the results are satisfactory and it's a rather good surprise. >> these elections were closely monitored abroad. russia says they were legitimate, now, foreigner in ukraine are drawing their own conclusions.

>> nobody can argue with the legitimacy of the country, the message from euro-maidan has received a political enforcement from the citizens -- endorsement from the people. >> progress has been slow in recent months. the government said that's because the old parliament was dominated by supporters of former president viktor yanukovych. the government will no longer have that excuse and the citizens will expect the pace of the government to accelerate. this does feel like a moment of hope at least here in the capital somehow the new government plus take that message to the entire country. barnaby phillips, lz al jazeera,

living wage and to restore the gains for getting reach of the out of date monster. >> the issue of nunsa being part of or not being part of kasatu. >> yes. numsa doesn't want to leave kosachhu because it believes in the taking-on movement. some unionists will join numsa. they challenge dissatisfaction by because of the rule of the anc. so it is likely that if kosatu kicks numsa out, some minions will join. >> what implications will that

be on south africa politician? >> well, it will have ripple effects not only in south africa but throughout africa. as you know that south africa is the second biggest economy in africa and it also means that all the people who are dissatisfied, remember in our country on a daily basis we have what you call, service delivery protesters. ordinary communities fighting for water, for roads for process. then push a policy which which be pro-- the poor. >> trevor nguana, thank you very much for joining us from johannesberg.
