>> welcome to the news hour. i'm nick clarken doha. all eyes an sienna as diplomats work on a deal over iran's nuclear program. >> israel eases restrictions to the mosque compound in jerusalem. >> the action by the president yesterday will only encourage more people to come here illegally. >> u.s. republicans hammer obama's plan to lift the threat of deportation for immigrants.

>> i'm reporting from south africa where poachers are killing hundreds of rhino every year, so many they are moving them to safe zones. >> there's a glimmer of optimism in vienna that talks over iran's nuclear program are making progress. iran's foreign minister has apparently canceled plans to return to tehran so that he can continue with negotiations. there is still a long way to go. the deadline for a deal is monday, also i've currently insist be it won't be extended. the u.s. wants limits on how much enriched uranium iran can use. it's always denied it is enriching enough to make weapons. if talks break down, there could be further isolation with sanctions. we joined now from vienna.

talk of leaving, talk of staying, how do you think we stand at the moment? >> well, nick, if there was talk earlier in the afternoon of a stall, a deadlock in these negotiations, it does now appear to be some momentum at least with that news from the iranian state news agency, as you mentioned there. but the foreign minister and lead negotiator for iran is not having to leave these talks to go back to tehran to holt cult is as with his superiors. he will stay on and hold consultations over secure communications presumably from the embassy here. what that doesn't leave us knowing, though is what happens with secretary of state john kerry and his counter parts from europe, in particular, who had also been leaving to go to paris to continue their cult is as essentially of course to await the return. we have not heard anything to

suggest that that plan has been turned around and as cars await delegates here, a few minutes ago, the british foreign secretary left, saying there is still significant gaps. he said we're all going to go away and have talks with our technical experts and resume again over the course of the weekend. that suggestion somewhat to me that they are planning to go back to paris to talk and return at some point later and a telephone call held between john kerry this afternoon and the sergey lavrov in moscow, this quoted by the russian state news agency, saying that the two agreed that additional efforts needed to be made in order to reach agreement in some suggestion in a statement from the russian foreign ministery perhaps on monday.

there are big gaps and the search is on for political will to try and close them. >> you think there are always going to be difficult, intense situations in the final stages of these results. how likely is it that a deal den be reached? >> the iranians and americans, the americans have always held to the line that they are working towards a final deal. monday is the self-imposed deadline by which a deal must be reached. to suggest otherwise, to suggest that an extension was in the offering, to suggest that may may adjourn and come back to another point may give up any crucial advantage for pressure building for last-minute concessions. that said, i think optimism that a final comprehensive deal can be reached monday is he being somewhat. it's looking more like they're aiming for a framework deal

nailing down the crucial principles of a final deal he with actual technical details to be worked out in the weeks and announce come. >> thanks very much indeed, reporting there from vienna. we're back with him as things progress or otherwise, there in austria. >> the turkish prime minister has been holding talks with the kurdish leaders on energy and security in erbil. they were hoping for agreements on oil exports between iraq and the kurdish region and turkey. the president of the northern kurdish region said he is ready to send additional troops to protect the town of kobane from isil fighters if the situation requires it. we ever this update. >> the press conference, this was seen as a success with lots of positive language from both the kurdish and turkish leader. now the two things discussed were security and energy. on the security front, pot sides

promise that the fight against isil was in both countries' interest and the turks and kurds would work together. interestingly enough, what the kurdish leader said was that if the turks needled help in kobane, that they would be willing to send more peshmerga troops in. remember when that was first muted, they he did not want the help. openly alongside the turkish prime minister is being seen as a change in policy there. when it comes down to the humanitarian aspect of this, turkey said that they understood that kurdistan was under pressure because of all the syrian refugees and they would try to help out there, as well. on the energy front and this has ban big problem between the kurds and federal government in baghdad, turkey doesn't have any natural resources of its own. it has to import all of its oil.

it's been importing that from kurdistan. the federal government said that is in iraq's constitution. there's an agreement rubber stamped on this visit, now very legally kurdish oil pumped into turkish territory. that's quite key. also, we are going to see the money from that being divided between baghdad, the federal government here and also kurdistan. that's a big step forward, as well. again, this visit is being seen by most people as being very positive and at least publicly, the relationship between turkey and iraq antiraqi kurds has changed considerably, a much more positive one now. >> a teenager who traveled to syria to marry a gee he haddist fighter has appeared in a dump court. the 19-year-old's mother traveled to syria to bring her daughter home. her husband divorced her, reportedly saying it hadn't worked out and returned to the netherlands wednesday. the teenager had left her home

city back in february and traveled to the isil stronghold city of raqqa. we'll take this to the center for the direction of terrorism and counter terrorism live there in the hague. this is an extraordinary story. how did this girl's mother find her and then actually get her out? >> well, she first tried without much information in october. she went to the border with syria, but no contact, no -- she failed, she went back and then she got a what's app message from her daughter, desperate message asking her to help her out, telling her that she was in the city of raqqa and needed help to get out. she went and apparently she managed to get her daughter out, back to turkey, then she was without documents and then with the help of the foreign ministry she arrived in the netherlands

very recently that that's an adventure in itself. what happens now to the girl. >> well, the girl is formally a suspect, allegedly joined is state and islamist jihadist group on the list have designated terrorist organizations of the e.u., but that has to be proven and i think the authorities are primarily interested in hearing the story who helped her to go to syria at that at that time, she was just 18. who helped her, how did she go and what happened once she arrived in jair. i think that is the main interest of the authorities now and i hope and assume that after that, she most likely will be given help, probably to reintegrate into society, but of course that depends on some of the answers she can give and the

evidence that is available. >> she must have some very useful information that the authorities would like to hear about. you generally hear about foreign fighters joining isil. how repair is a case like this? >> well, it used to be rare national year ago, but this year, more and more girls have joined fighters in syria or went on their own or accompanied by some people to syria, and that number has grown dramatically. currently it's 20% in the netter land, same figures for france or we're talking about not just one or two examples, but probably dozens of girls, and many of them are very young, only a week ago, or two weeks ago, there was this girl age 16 arrested in hungary on her way to syria, so we have more and more of these examples and unfortunately, very

few who have returned, let alone by a courageous mother that dared to go all the way into i.s. territory to get her daughter back. >> there's the story of the austrian youngster as well. how are they persuaded to leave the safety of their home countries and go join isil? >> well, was, it's radicalization process. some girls get interested in islam. she was a convert. some girls are from moroccan or north african or turkish background. some of them simply fall in the love with the fighters that are on the internet that talk them into joining them, to join the struggle, join the jihad in syria or other places. some are young and attracted by the fighters, others that go there, because they want to do

something. they are also angry about the world not doing enough in their eyes to help the children, the victims in syria and go out there to help, and there's the category, a small category but important one of women that play a very important role in this jihad as recruiters, as people that strongly believe into the ideal of an is state and go there for political religious reasons. >> just to return to the rescue mission, if i can put it that way, it's a poignant story, this idea of a mother going to rescue her misled daughter from away place like that. it just makes you wonder how lucky nerve in this situation to make contact with each other and the for the mother to be able to make it inside syria although she is saying she didn't go into syria, but how that process happened and how lucky they were

to be reunited and now back in the netherlands. >> well, of course, the first try asked the authorities to help and there's only so much the authorities can do from the netherlands to help people getting out of syria. as legal restrictions, there are lots of other restrictions, so the parents often feel left on their own. sometimes, they ask other parents that are in similar situations to give them advice, to help them. there was contact between her and her father, who lost his son to a jihadist in syria already more than a year ago, but apparently she didn't have much help. in the end, it was very little help, and fortunately, that's the positive side of social media, still her daughter was being -- was able to contact her and we don't know all the details, but i think the main reason why she managed, because

she was very courageous to do so, although the authorities said don't go, it's too risky, but of course for her, she had a different calculation, i guess the love of her daughter was stronger than think risk that she could imagine. she went there, now of course, she's saying i went only to the border with turkey, because it might have been -- she might be afraid that she committed an offense or crime when she went into i.s. territory, but she went there and got her daughter out, very courageous, without much help from the authorities, who unfortunately couldn't do that much for her. >> it is an astonishing story. we appreciate you telling us about this, thanks very much, indeed he. >> hundreds of israeli troops have been deployed in and around jerusalem, tension in the city remains high, but restrictions on young palestinian men worshiping the compounds have been eased. that's one of the main causes of

the conflict. let's hear from west jerusalem. andrew, how have things been? >> well, nick, as you rightly point out, there was a peaceful situation with friday prayers at the mosque with no age restrictions being imposed by the israeli military. the number of demonstration throughout the occupied west bank and occupied east jerusalem, they're still sporadic, still taking place, there's a level of violence, but it's low at this stage. thursday night, there was a disturbance outside of the homes of the two palestinian attackers on the synagog in which five people died. on tuesday, and this actually was quite a prolonged affair, and around at least a dozen protestors were slightly injured, i went to that area of the village in occupied east jerusalem a couple of hours ago

and it was quite peaceful, but a large number of people, particularly young men, were assembled in a tented area, which is where they were receiving mourners for the two dead men, and a legal committee has been formed in which they're trying to get the orders for the demolition of their homes reversed. >> thanks very much indeed, andrew simmons reporting. >> much more to come here on the aljazeera news hour, including the united in disgust, tens of thousands take to the streets in mexico over the disappearance of 43 students. >> remote and restless, we report from abandoned columbia areas that have become a breeding ground for rebels. >> at the top of the leader board.

>> to ukraine, let's go to pictures coming out of there. it's a year on since things started boiling up in ukraine, services now being held in the country to remember the victims of the kiev protest that began a year ago at a demonstration eventually toppling the president. a wreath was laid to commemorate the hundreds who died in independence square. >> we really need to be united now. there is an enemy in our yard and i took a decision. today i will sign a decree awarding heroes of the heavenly hundred, heroes of ukraine. today we are together and that is the most important thing and we are together always and ukraine is about everything.

>> we are joined live from donetsk. a year on, how should we assess where things stand? >> well, things have really descended into real chaos and the of course, considerable death. the u.n. says more than 4,000 people have died in the conflict that's sprung up after the success, really, as the proponents of midon would put it. the rebellions came in eastern ukraine and ceaseless fighting despite the ceasefire for the last two and a half months, a ceasefire in place, still in that period of time, nearly 1,000 people have been killed according to the united nations. a lot of the marking of this day is not very celebratory. as you saw in those pictures, people are mourning those who

died in independence square and widely across ukraine. as well as that, the politics continue to play out. the u.s. vice president joe biden is meeting his ukrainian ally petro poroshenko, promising more aid, $20 million worth in what's called non-lethal aid, generally going to the justice system, law enforcement. the united states is now saying that military aid, lethal equipment, weapons and the like are not off the table, and that of course has very much angered people in this part of ukraine and in the kremlin, accusing the united states of having set up this entire situation and staging what it calls a coup in ukraine and now fueling it and turning it into the whole territory, a united states play ground is what russia is now terming this, so an extremely difficult situation 12 months

on, a world away, really from the optimism that marked early protests. >> the u.s. vice president has been in town and how has russia been respond to go that? >> as i say, russia very much against the idea of any kind of military aid coming the way of ukraine. the donetsk people's republic here, the self declared breakaway republic here has said that united states is responsible for breaching the terms of the minsk agreement and is responsible for the conflict here. for the first tile, russia has been firing from its own side of the border for the first time. whetheit is brings a question tw long the ceasefire can continue.

in terms of how people here are reacting to this, we went to the local bus station, which is the scene of many people making trips out into ukrainian controlled territory to get access to cash, back the banking system here is crippled. they didn't see much to celebrate, but it has changed the government in western ukraine but only brought war and nothing else for the people here. >> thanks very much indeed. >> the u.k. prime minister is vowing to win back a parliamentary seat. his party lost in a local election. cameron's conservative party were beaten by the opposing party. >> i want to congratulate the forecasters and i'm determined to win this seat back at the next general election.

anything other than a conservative government will put our recovery at risk away i'm more determined than ever to make sure we deliver security for britain. >> the republican leader of the u.s. congress has made a scathing attack on the u.s. penalty's immigration plan, accusing president obama of damaging the presidency. >> the president made 38 unilateral changes to the affordable care act. the president repeatedly suggested that he was going to unilaterally change immigration law. he created an environment where the members would not trust him. trying to find a way to work together was virtually impossible. i warned the president over and over that his actions were making it impossible for me to do what he wanted me to do. >> we're working with our members and looking at the options available to us, but i will say to you, the house will

in fact act. >> patty has more on that story from washington, d.c. >> with this announcement, u.s. president bo said he will give a temporary reprieve to less than half undocumented immigrants, lifting deportation for those who have children who are american citizens, potentially impacting fewer than 5 million people. >> i'm describing accountability, a common sense middle ground approach. if you meet the criteria, you can come out of the shadows and get right with the law. >> but it's temporary and the next president could overturn it in 2017, leaving the government with a list of people that could potentially be deported. >> moving on his own is controversial in large part because the president has been saying for years he doesn't have the authority to act on his own. >> my job in the executive branch is supposed to be to carry out the laws that are

passed. >> the white house said they did another review of the law and the president can act without congress to a limit. republicans are threatening revenge. >> we're considering a variety of options, but make no mistake, make no mistake, when the newly elected representatives of the people take their seats, they will act. >> in all likelihood, there is probably very little the republicans can do to stop the president on immigration, but they can try to make him pay in areas like budget cuts or blocking his legislative agenda. the white house says they can do that but is betting they won't. >> protests in mexico against the disappearance and suspected killing of 43 students turned vital thursday. the group of masked demonstrators clashed with police. we have more. >> demonstrators clashed with police in mexico city's central square thursday night in a violent conclusion to what had

been a mostly peaceful protest. police closed ranks and pushed the crowds back, quickly clearing the square. you huge throng marched through the center of mexico city, the biggest demonstration thus far in a movement that has united many mexicans in protest. the marshes demanded justice for 43 college students from guerrero abducted in september. the government says the students were kidnapped by local police on the orders of a corrupt mayor, turn over to a drug gang and murdered. >> we want to know exactly who is responsible, who gave the orders. >> we are against a government that is inept and corrupt. >> i ask for justice for my ouncery in the only for the students but for all the people who have been disappearing for a long time. >> protestors express outrage

over a government that appears unable or unwilling to protect its citizens. approximately 100,000 people have been killed in mexico's drug violence over the past decade. 30,000 are missing. solidarity protests were held in other latin american countries, the united states and europe. brought tests, which have swelled in size and intensity over the past eight weeks pose the biggest political crisis for the president in his two years in office. many protestors carried signs holding him ultimately responsible for the fate of the missing students. >> by the tens of thousands, mexicans are sending their government a message, they're fed up with violence, corruption, incompetence and injustice. >> they hope their outrage will lead to real change in this deeply scarred country. aljazeera, mexico city.

>> in colombia, the capture of the general by farc rebels has brought attention to the area. it is one of the poorest parts of colombia and rewarded as abandoned by the state. we have a report. >> a maze of waterways and jungles, the general is kept by farc rebels, leaving colombia's peace talks on hold. centuries of underdevelopment have left more than half of its population in extreme poverty. living in the village where the general was captured, this man said they have no roads, electricity or running water. >> look at the conditions in which our community lives. i just hope all this attention can bring some investment that can improve our community.

>> for now, that attention has only complicated things. even after an agreement for the release was announced, people are still too afraid to leave the village. >> none of the residents of this community have been able to work. we are afraid of moving until this is over. we fish and cultivate, but it's too dangerous to go out. >> the lack of government presence creates a breeding grounds for paramilitary activities. the rivers are used as drug trafficking routes while illegal gold mining has led to massive deforestation and displacement. >> the people are the victims of a conflict in which they have nothing to gain. many don't know why there is fighting in their territory. >> the general understood this reality and people's distrust of authorities. that's why he would visit communities without security or his uniform and was implementing

social projects. >> i think the general himself has turned into a victim of the sways. he was getting involved with the people and building upon the vacuum of local and national policies, but his capture shows who is in control here. >> nobody believed a peace deal with the farc could solve all the issues affecting this region, but many hope it could be the first step in turning around the long history of violence and neglect, a glimmer of hope that can shine again once the captives are freed. >> still ahead, scuffles and tear gas have some nigerian lawmakers on the run. we'll explain when we come back. >> former journalist on trial in china for leaking state secrets. critics say it's an attack on freedom of speech. >> sport coming up, who was able to keep their cool in this meeting of two of south

>> these are some of the more than 260 candidates competing for 40 seats in baja rain's election. around 70% of the man arc key is shia, the largest party is boycotting the vote. >> what a failure for the government to beg for a vote from a people whoo are marginalized by them. the government is looking for the impossible from any rational person. >> the protest made neighbors nervous. the saudi military played an important role clearing protestors who set up tents in the capitol. the authorities arrested thousands of people. real power

>> while some progress has been made on police reform, rights organizations say abuses continue. many prominent political physician and human rights activists remain in jail. there are nightly protests across the country, police raised and arrests are common. the government and its supporters say they are reaching out to the opposition. >> the door is open to them. there was an invitation for dialogue, a second invitation to pursue dialogue, but they refuse to participate. they refuse because in their mind, bahrain should be delivered to iran.

rights groups say the u.s. isn't doing enough to protect human rights in bahrain. the u.s. fifth fleet is based there. >> it's been four years since the crackdown on what is described as bahrain's arab spring moment. it is unlikely these elections will help in this deeply divided country. >> activists remain in jail in bahrain. a human rights activist was released two days ago after being charged with insulting the king by tearing up his picture. joining us now on skype, it's important to say, i think that you're shortly due to give birth. do you think that had a bearing on your release? >> no, actually, i don't think so. i think the reason that i was released is the upcoming

elections. >> just the upcoming elections, it wasn't a case of the authorities thinking that you shouldn't be seen to be in jail while you're about to give birth? >> well, i don't think they care that much about that, just about a week ago, they had been in at her are gating a woman who's also pregnant and who had her baby daughter in her arm and she first being interrogated, shouted at and threatened with her baby in her arm. i don't think they care if i give birth to my baby. they just care how it's going to look especially at this timing when the election is taking place. >> tell us about your experience. your father is still there, isn't me? >> my father and sungle are political prisoners, my father sentenced to life in prison and my uncle five years in prison. my experience that is in the past three years, i have been arrested more than nine times,

had more than 13 cases against me in court. i still do have five case against me in court, as well, but my situation is so much better than most other bahrain people, more than three he thousand political prisoners in prison today. >> to what degree might the elections ease tensions? >> actually, they don't ease tensions at all. if i can put it in my father's words is that these pretenses of reforms only increases the frustration and popular anger in the country. if we look at bahrain and see preparations the government is making, we will see the true meaning of the elections here. we have arrests on a daily base. we have people being taken from their homes, being interrogated, threatened. usually elections mean that you embrace the people, that you embrace opposition. in bahrain, we have people tortured and the government trying to silence any kind of

opposition right before the elections, and that's how they're preparing for it. filled give you some examples, just happening in the past couple of weeks, we've had women being arrested for translating documents written by opposition groups. we have women being threatened that their fathers and brothers who were also arrested would be tortured in front of them if they don't give names of unknown opposition members. these things actually show the reality on the ground in bahrain. this is not about voting. what we have here that is elections like this can have no legitimacy against the current backdrop of oppression and restrict freedoms. >> the government do say that the door to dialogue is never shut. >> no, we don't have any real dialogue in this country. how do you have dialogue with a government that's torturing and imprisons and sentencing people upon a daily basis to frighten them into silence? first you have to give people a

chance to speak, give them their basic rights and then you have dialogue. we don't have these things in this country. if people are afraid to speak, always worried wherever they say any words, people are afraid in their homes, how can there be any true dialogue? >> we appreciate you talking to aljazeera, thank you. >> thank you. >> the world health organization has confirmed that the democratic republican of congo is now ebola-free, the strikeout break is separate from the one spreading in west africa. it was the seventh in the country since it was identified in 1976. >> 45 people have been killed in an attack on a village in nigeria. the village is in the bourno

state. >> these are elected nigerian politicians trying to enter the national assembly. inside, a controversial vote was taking place to extend the state of emergency in northeastern nigeria, hard effort hit by boko haram fighters. the man in white is the speaker. he's been stripped of his official security detail after he switched sides to the opposition last month. this was his first appearance since then. he was stopped at the gate. out. >> forces defended their action. they say following an intelligence report of an

invasion of the house of representatives by what they called hoodlums and thugs, the police force dough employed to prevent a beakdown of law and order. the assembly has been closed down. >> i have decided that i will shut down the national assembly until tuesday next week, but -- >> the opposition m.p.'s did manage to enter the building and the chamber held a brief session before the parliament was shut. it protected the government request to extend emergency rule in the northeast. officially, those special powers are now expired. the ruling people's democratic party has struggled to rain in the rise of radical groups like boko haram in three more cases. >> the truth is we are in a mess as some of you see today.

ideological control since president xi came to power. >> the chinese government said it protects the freedom of expression. today journalists are prevented from standing outside the court to report. we've been told to leave the area. >> i think the chinese authorities want to send a message that they are in control of ideology, they can control who says what, and what type of information is allowed to circulate. >> on the other side of the country, the fate of another dissident voice was sealed on friday. he lost his appeal against a life sense. the economics professor is convicted of advocating secularism. it is said this is proof that selective law is applied in china. >> japan's prime minister dissolved the lower house of
