reporting on efforts to help the water crisis here we begin with a developing story out of syria where state television is reporting israel has carried out two airstrikes in damascus. this video is said to show the aftermath of the strikes. syri syria's army said they caused damage, but nobody was hurt. jane ferguson is monitoring the story from beirut. what more do we know? >> reporter: we know two airstrikes took place in and around the damascus area and in the area close to the international airport as well as another area where there is a smaller airport nearby that those were both targeted in this attack. news came through. attack just over two hours ago. since then, a statement has been released by the syrian army who said that this, these attacks, were in response to what they called victories across syria in

recent weeks in areas like aleppo, diazora and dera. they have responded with very strong lang saying that this is evidence that the israelis are supporting what they call terrorrists. they have also said that they will respond how they see fit. but they have said that before in other cases when there have been such airstrikes. they haven't responded militarily towards israel. at the moment, they are saying they will respond but there hasn't been any response yet. >> jane ferguson in beirut, thanks. israeli airstrikes are the latest in a series of attacks in syria since last year. on january 4th, 2013, israeli military planes targeted a convoy travel to go lebanon reportedly delivering weapons to hezbollah. later that month, on january 31st syrian state t.v. said a scientific research center was destroyed by israel. in may, israeli jets attacked areas around damascus.

in november last year, a syrian air base in latakia was struck by an israeli jet meant to destroy russian-made missiles. in june, israel launched airstrikes along its border in syria. ten syrian soldiers died. now, live in west jerusalem, nusirine, any word on the latest set of strikes? >> reporter: no, miriam and we don't expect a confirmation or a response from the israeli government or the army. we spoke to the army. a spokesperson told that is they will not comment on foreign reports. n we knowitionisi local media and outlets are quoting the reports coming out of syria with absolutely no confirmation here from israel. as you just mentioned, this is probably the sixth time that syria accuses israel of carrying

out a series of raids inside the country. in the past, we have seen that most of these raids have reportedly targeted syrian targets or hezbollah targets. but israeli officials really are reluctant to officially acknowledge that they are carrying out these airstrikes. we are basically hearing from sources inside syria, media sources, opposition sources, that people heard up to 10plosions in that area and that that area is heavily guarded by syrian troops. it's also an area that protects the international airport and where a lot of military residential buildings are and that we also heard from eyewitnesses and sources close to the border between syria and israel that they saw two warplanes near al someways

quenetra near israel. they made their way up north possibly going to damascus and carrying out these unconfirmed airstrikes. so not the first time for sure. and we are only hearing these reports from syrian sources. >> nisreea, thank you. stay with syria, activists say an al-qaeda life linked group is in control of a military compound in dera. the group reportedly detonated two suicide car bombs targeting the syrian army. they are a step closer to the strategic town of azra, one of the last defense lines before damascus prove incident. to iraq where sunni leaders are accusing the army of pushing out sunni populations on the pretext of fighting isil. a spokesman for muslim dollars said he believes the you had

rice of isil is partly the fault of u.s. policy. >> translator: we have always said that the main problem is the occupation. the u.s. and all other countries supporting the aggression on iraq are to be blamed for all of the results and consequences of this occupation. sectarian cleansic, systematic killing is because of the u.s. and is being done with u.s. participation, even when the u.s. administration tries to distance itself. >> well, shia fighters have been helping the iraqi army fight isil but they have been accused of targeting sunnis. the situation in iraq is further complicated by haste of of distrust between sunnis and the government in baghdad. sunnis felt marginalized by nuri al malaki. many hope the new prime minister will be able to mend that rift but his government is facing serious challenges. the violence that has engulfed

iraq has killed nearly 12,000 people. 22,000 have been injured. iran's confirmation that it has carried out attacks against isil is said to further alienate sunnis already suspicious in iran's role. iran has been assisting iraq militarily. both prime ministers have been meeting. jaffrey said the two must work closely together to combat what he called the ugly face of isil. >> translator: there is a strategic threat to both country. the threat is the presence of isil on the iraqi territories and this necessary he istates the importance of promoting our relations to the maximum and to have the maximum coordination in order to face isil. >> jane arraf has more on how the two countries are working together to battlis ill.

>> reporter: these iraqis warring to karbola have faced attack every year in post-war iraq. but this will be the first commemoration since isil gained strength and seized large parts of the country. the ceremony marking the 40th day of mourning for the killing of imam hussein 14 centuries ago is central to shiia identity. shiia and shiia commenrations have been isil's biggest target. >> there is a military deployment to product pilgrims from any possible attack. i saw the district commander officers, officers and soldiers deployed along the road leading to karbola. >> iraqi government forces have been backed by shiia malishas, many tied to iran in the fight against isil. iran has launched airstrikes in iraq. after initial denial, the government acknowledged it

launched the attacks at the request of the iraqi government. it's so sensitive the iraqi minister of defense continues to deny iranian air involvement. >> if they are supporting this, there are some beneficial effects. iran has clear security interests on its borders, protection of its borders, protection of its people and isil is not simply a threat to the people of iraq, the people of syria, but the people of iran as well. i wouldn't be surprised if there are images and if there is involvement in the air the way there is clear involvement of the iranian revolutionary gordz corps personnel on the ground. >> reporter: in diallah province where some of the fiercest fighting is taking plays, some sunni officials say they believe iran and proceed iranian forces are using the battle as an excuse to move out large numbers of sunnis. >> the central government in baghdad is totaly silent. we fear a foreign regional agenda to change diallah

demographically. we have met the if command it will but no positive steps have taken place on the ground. >> when people have been ordered from their homes, it's because security forces need time to clear the area of explosives, they say. iran andsh shiia malitias have played a controversial floel iraq but they make clear with weakenened iraqi security forces, they couldn't take on isil or secure baghdad without them. it's left the iraqi government treading a fine line between relying on iran for help and maintaining its index. jane arraf, al jazeera, baghdad. >> six guantanamo prisoners have arrived in u gay to be resettled. the u.s. confirmed the release of the four sirians, a tunisian and one palestinian. they were accused of blinked with al-qaeda but were never charged. let's bring in andy gallacher.

how important is this release for us, andy? >> reporter: it is significant, miriam, the largest resettlement since gauveuantanamo opened in we know the six men were released to be released years ago. this is the interesting thing is that approval for release has been on the table. but it's just so hard for the u.s. to find host countries to take people from guantanamo bay. >> that's something that's probably frustrating the obama administration who you remember when president obama came to power, one of the first executive orders was to close guantguantanamo. here, six years later, the facility is well and truly open. >> i guess we are no closer to seeing the base being closed, andy? we have six detainees being resettled here but many more still incarcerated. >> reporter: well, at one time, gaupt guantbay had 800

detainees. now it's down to 136. but at this rate, it could take months or enyears before the detainees are sent to host countries because remember, their release is really bound to the fact that they can't go home. so that makes it very difficult. we have brakes like bermuda, el salv to do that took two. it's happening in dribs and drabs. so it is frustrating for the obama administration although it does sound clear they are determined to close down guantguantanamo as soon as possible. >> andy gallacher in miami, thank you. much more still to come for you on theays newshour. bangladesh tries to reform the troubled department industrial while survivors from a factory collapse are waiting two years on. plus from royalty to revolution, the changing role of the hermitage museum. in sport barcelona attempt to close the gap with real madrid.

details on that as well a little bit later on. israel has opened eight investigations into palestinian civilians on the attacks on the gaza strip. among the inquiries is an a airstrike that killed 24 of the same family. most were children. from west jerusalem, sharina milam reports. >> it says it doesn't trust the human rights council, investigating possible war crimes committed by israeli soldiers during the latest assault on the gaza strip. israel argues the body is biased against it so it's conducting its own investigation and ordered eight new investigations into possible misconduct of soldiers. these include a single airstrike that killed 27 civilians

the shooting of a man in houza who was said to be carrying a white floridaing and an airstrike that killed an ambulance driver and looking into four cases in which israeli soldiers are accused of looting. palestinians in gaza say the last thing they are waiting for is the results of an israeli investigation that killed over 2,000 people and severely destroyed infrastructure. >> translator: i don't know what to say. they send the army to kill us and now they want to investigate? it's all a lie. the world believes them. let them do what they want. we don't want to hear about it. >> translator: it doesn't mean anything to us. they killed our children, our brothers and sons. and right now, they are opening an investigation. it's pointless. >> a number of cases have been under investigation since september, they include an airstrike on a u.n. school used as a shelter that killed 14

people and an airstrike that killed four children playing on a gaza beach. >> the current investigative apparatus employed by the military cannot look at the political echelons. it cannot look at government decisions. it's simply out of the scope of these investigations. the military advocate general has a dual role. he approved many of these policies, and now, he is expected to look at whether they were legal or not. it's absurd. >> human rights groups in israel say the army's investigations cannot possibly be impartial. the army announced it dismissed seven other cases on the grounds that soldiers' actions did not substantiate reasonable grounds for suspicion of criminal behavior. unlike previous attacks on gaza, this time, the army has started investigating cases of possible operational misconduct before the results of an international probe are announced. >> there have been several investigations of the israeli armed conduct but it has never

been found guilt of war crimes by a binding international court by conducting its own investigation, the army appears to be preparing to counter any criticism. al jazeera, west jerusalem. >> 135 people have been arrested in saudi arabia on what the interior ministry calls terror charges. 109 suggestion respect are saudis. 26 are foreigners including nationals from syria, yemen and egypt. an egyptian court post posed the trial of morsi on charge of spying. saturday, the defense argued morsi should be set free because he had been held in an illegal detention facility. omar sali reports. >> reporter: the deposed president mohamed morsi is accused of spying. he also phases several other charges lined up against him. but on sunday, his defense team called on the court to throw out the case against him. his lawyers based their argument on leaked audio recordings that

they say show morsi has been detained illegally. >> the leaks are very crucial. if the court proves the dettension place was fabricated, it will have a direct impact on the entire case, and that will benefit all suspects, including president morsi. faking the detplace means the anullment of the imprisonment arrest and everything that was based upon it. >> reporter: on thursday a pro-muslim brotherhood channel leaked what it says were e el sisii's top aids. they can they could be heard about interfering in the proceedings against morsi. the t.v. station said they control a number of individuals discussing ways to deceive the president's whereabouts. he was detained in 2013, being held at the secret military location, and that made the

generals nervous. in one of the recordings, a man said to be the military's legal advisor tells egypt's navy commander what needs to be done to avoid weakening the cost case against morsi. >> we have to be ready for the worst-case scenario. otherwise, the spying case will fall apart. the spying and the hadia cases will be undermined. the place morsi was detained from july 3rd until he was send to prison will be proven illegal. th this will undermine all of the legal cases against him. >> egypt's general prosecutor has accused theed the muttslim brotherhood of fabricating the news and staging the recordings. he also ordered an investigation into the leaks. the court is yet to decide on the authenticity of the recordings. on saturday, morsi spoke for the first time about husband detention. he told the court he was detained for a few years in a republican guard compound in

destroying property. the panda bakery was the only shop with its doors open in the main market. to the owner, it was a risk worth taking. >> we are afraid of the typhoon. we have to could not working so we could earn something. we heard reports that it would be as bad as haiyan. so we put rocks on our roof. >> en though the governor is confident and people are prepared, no one will truly know the damage to this community caused by typhoon hagipuht until the sunday rises on monday morning. philippines. >> arrange entenian forensic experts say they have identified the body of one of the 43 missing students. mora was the only student to be identified. his body was among the charred remains found near a garbage dump last month. more from mexico city. >> the positive identification of one of the 43 missing

welcome back. you are watching the in that the ashsz newshour. let's take you through the top stories. syrian state television is reporting that israel has carried out two airstrikes. these pictures are said to show the aftermath of one near damascus international airport in the east of the capitol. the second one was carried out in the west. sunni leaders are accusing the army of pushing out sunnis on the pretext of fighting for isil. >> muslim skwlashz told access they believe they are partly the fault of u.s. policy. six guantanamo gay flischol are resettled on humanitarian grounds. they have been held in cuba for more than a decade.

they have seen other countries stepping up. >> i was going to say, knowing what to do with the remaining prison serz one of the main obvious stack ems to closing the bates once and for all. is there anything more that can be done to incentivize countries to take them? >> the united states shouldn't have started guantguantanamo in the first place, of course. and it would help if the united states would take some, but that doesn't look likely. but the more countries that do step up, i think, the faster this will go. and i am encouraged. i hope that all of them can go home as soon as possible. these people were never charged with a crime, and it's truly despicable. they have wasted so much of their lives in gua guantanamo. >> you said there are some who are unable go back to their home countries. some can. why have they not been released?

at the whole issue of defore deforestation, a big issue with global warming and climate change conference is concerned. in fact, this morning, we took a flight just outside pacalpa here, fly around the territories around the town and it's pretty distressing what you see. you will fly over huge areas of deposition canopy and there will be this line of demarcation where there is just lands that's stripped bare or palm oil plantations that go on for miles. it's very much a hub of the 'til ber treade. almost all of it is illegal. it defies belief what's going on here. illegal logging is so commonplace, sangan doesn't am care about us filming what he does. stealingly trees forbidin areas with immunity.

entirely the opposite effect. here we are, a little more than an hour's flight from the climate change conference in lima. >> nick, can anything be done to stop deforestation? >> much of this timber is being stolen from tribal lands and tribal leaders are beginning to fight back. it is a dangerous business. you you may have heard of edwin churtan, a member of the inca tribe fighting for the rights of the tribe to own title rights to the forest around within their land. he was threatened by forest tree companies and was murdered with three others back in september. not very much has come of the investigation. all of this is a big embarasment to the peruvian government with a climate change conference going on and they announced the

title rights have now, in fact, been granted to members of the asht ashton inca drive and another from ecuador who has been fighting against the leader of the swa indigenous group has been murdered. it is a big problem. as far as the de estation issue is concerned, on the international front, we have pledges from norway and germany to help peru. norway offered hard to see how there can be any easy solution begin the rampant production goes on here. amazonia. the austrian government established a new counseling hotline to stop young muslims
