sinai province is retaliating on the crack down of supporters of the former president mohamed morsi. a car bomb targeted a military base, a police headquarters and a housing complex for army and police officers. the town of rafa on the gaza border also hit. a security officer is said to have been killed by a roadside bomb in the city to the south. earlier we spoke to hillary a professor of u.s. foreign policy at the american university. >> we've seen them continuing and increasing in intensity for the past year and a half since the over throw of president morsi in egypt, this is something historically true in egypt, each time a government in egypt going back to the 1950s has sought to suppress the muslim brotherhood, this nonviolent islam organization and political movement each

time a government has sought to suppress it what has happened is not that the muslim brotherhood has become violent but that groups splintered off from muslim brotherhood and eventually al-qaeda to become very violent in order to fight against a government they see as oppressive and in the 1980s they assassinated the egyptian president sadot so there is this narrative i think being put out there that somehow it has to do with lawlessness in the see any but there has not been lawlessness like this for hundreds of years, this is a recent phenomenon and likely to increase as we see what is happening in egypt. >> more on implications of this an attack let's speak to a history in contemporary history at the university of qatar and president sisi cutting short his

summit to go back to egypt, just how difficult a challenge is he facing? this is really the worst violence egypt has seen in months how difficult a challenge is it for him in the seely right now which is under a state of emergency? >> this is a war by president sisi himself in june 2013 when he said he needs the people to be with him to face what he will of that time and expected terrorist. so basically this is a war which he should be expected according to what he says at that stage. what happened last night is basically a major challenge to the sisi because basically it means what the measures that have been taken so far in the last year has not led to any improvement in the security. more i'm and mining, all of the strategies suggested by the

government, by the military by the security intelligence in cairo and in addition to all of that basically it's put the presidency itself and the military and increasing pressure from the republic of egypt to respond to the challenge quickly and say, look, there is a fair and political scene and there is a failure in the economy so there is some success on what is happening there. >> reporter: so failure in a number of areas. >> yes. >> reporter: for sisi. we have this militant group which is now calling itself the sinai providence it changed its name of course pledging allegiance to the islamic state. of course the previous attacks but do we know what sort of coordination there is between them and isil and how much support they are actually getting from isil? >> we knew from previous

experiences that those kind of militants basically they share ideology of desensitization of their movement and basically they agree to get an order from a specific individual so basically this link between isil and what happened in egypt i don't think so it's actually you know helps to understand what is happening in egypt because basically it takes what happened in egypt from the egyptian contest to regional context which i mean and i think it doesn't make sense. what happened in egypt has egyptian context. >> reporter: internal. >> it's internal. it's basically the failure of the government since june 2013 to deliver to the people in sanaa. the sanaa issue is about economy, it's about improving the economy of that part of egypt. the failure of previous governments including morsi

himself led to what happened now. morsi did recognize that issue and he planned to had plans to solve the problem but what happened in egypt has complicated the whole scene. so basically what happened in-egypt has egyptian context and doesn't have relation with the regional context, it has something to do with the situation in iraq and syria and complicating the scene rather than helping to understand what is happening in egypt. >> reporter: thank you for helping us out from qatar university there. isil fighters killed a senior kurdish commander and five peshmerga troops in northern iraq and fighting began in kurkook at midnight and went on to the morning and 46 people have been wounded. al jazeera gained a rare insight into what life is like for people living in iraq cherokee city mosul under the control of

the islamic state and lavonet and it's considered the second largest city and home to estimated 3 million people tens of thousands have fled the violence there, it's of strategic importance because of the near by mosul damage which supplies move of the water and power. right now kurdish fighters have control of the dam. the city is predominately sunni and many had become resentful of the central government and many welcomed isil fighters when the group took control of the city last year but as zana reports not everyone is happy living under isil rule. >> reporter: mosul, iraq's second largest city is under the control of islamic state of iraq and lavonte and almost impossible for residents to leave and isil says they need a guaranty to ensure they return. >> the i sis guns refuse any one

to depart. >> really? >> they use as human shields. >> reporter: for security this person has to remain anonymous and communicating inside mosul to the friends in the kurdish regional capitol erbil and hide their identity and left the city when isil took over in june and cutoff communication but the voices that do come out speak of isil hard laws and hardships. >> there is food but there is no money because there is unemployment. but we can still have hope that the liberation it is this hope that keeps us alive. >> some of the people welcome them but at the same time there are hundreds of thousands of people who are sitting home crying about the city. >> reporter: many in the

predominately sunni city welcomed isil fighters when they first entered in june and iraqi army seen sectarian and accused of targeting sunnis and now there are reports that opposition to isil is increasing and we cannot independently confirm that because we don't have access to mosul but videos like this emerging showing the so called isil brigades targeting members. >> since august the one who like announced to fight isil in mosul have done more than 300 operations against isil. >> reporter: and outside mosul mainly sunni volunteers from the city have been training for the fight, their role is important in any counter offensive against isil and the people of isil may not want mosul rule but had a history with forces.

>> reporter: and a pilot held hostage in iraq and jordan demanding proof that muath al-kaseasbeh is alive before going ahead with the prisoner swap and we are live andrew and you are outside the headquarters of the jordan pilot and the deadline set by isil has passed and they asked for proof of life of the pilot, has there been any indication of that? >> no if there is any proof that muath al-kaseasbeh is alive then it's not made public. remember his air 16 jet crash landed in raqqa a month ago now and since then there has been no solid video evidence or otherwise that he is alive. now the jordans say they are using a multi channel approach

which is new territory for a state to be negotiating with isil but there is no clear indicator of any evidence he is alive. the family who are headquartered here where an influential tribe is and the family says they understand from sources that he was alive when that second deadline was given for sun down on thursday for the exchange to be made with the iraqi would-be suicide bomber who is on death row. now nothing has been heard since so it is a very tense situation. >> indeed and the fate of the japanese journalist which jordan has been negotiating with is also held hostage by isil and you wonder what jordan and japan can do to gain the upper hand in this crisis.

>> absolutely. they simply can't. they are engaged in a process and of course jordan is taking the lead here military pilot and civilian homemaker whose wife was making a plea early on thursday for his release because she said their children are desperately wanting their father. she is in touch by e-mail she says with isil. this is a situation where the isil negotiators, if they could be described as such do have the upper hand and really what everyone is waiting for is another announcement whether it be something grim like an audio recording or worse is unclear and it's an unprecedented problem with isil and jordan is committed to get the pilot free simply because of the public pressure to do so. the main ally the u.s. cannot

be happy with the situation but there is an understanding that king abdullah has her and he went in the alliance with isil six months ago and they had some support but it's waning now and this is a dilley ket situation with isil time to stir the pot. >> thank you for that andrew simmons live for us in jordan capitol amman. the family of the jailed journalist greste returned the call and returned from egypt where peter has been in prison 398 days and wrongly accused with two other journalists fahmy and mohamed of colluding with the out lawed muslim brotherhood. >> by now they thought they would not have to do this and

spoke in australia to talk about the son and brother still locked up in cairo, egypt. >> it has been a long time of anxiety largely because we feel very sad that, in fact, we come home empty handed. >> reporter: greste and fahmy and mohamed arrested in cairo on december 29 2013. in a trial widely dismissed as an farse sentenced between 7-10 years in prison for aiding the outlawed muslim brotherhood. at the start of this month a court in cairo ordered retrail in the case of the al jazeera three and convictions were set aside providing some hope that the president of egypt, sisi can now intervene. last year he issued a presidential decree that would allow for foreigners to be deported to either face trial or serve time in their home countries, that was encouraging

for greste and mohamed fahmy who holds egypt and canadian citizenship and he wants the situation sorted out as soon as possible but so far the words have not been followed up with action. >> on 25th of january there was quite a lot of talk around the possibility of the guys being pardoned, as yet there has been no news of that and egypt is going to a seven-day period of mourning for the saudi king so that announcement we understand is being put on hold. >> reporter: peter greste's parents returned from cairo where they visited him several times. >> the last time we saw him wasn't his best day but wasn't his worst and you know he has had a few grim days but everybody does and perhaps a few more in prison but he is holding up okay. and, you know he does

everything he possibly can to maintain his, i was going to say synergy. >> reporter: this was a media conference where family of peter greste were unable to deliver any good news, once again they hope the next one will be deliver. wayne in brisbon. more ahead and scandal and intrigue surrounding the death of a prosecutor has not been buried with him, cross fire and families made homeless by the conflict and he battles the defending champion for a face in the australian open. ♪ but first a developing story out of pakistan where there has been an explosion in the city of

the shin providence and many killed and dozens wounded. the blast went off by a shia mosque and we will bring more details when we have them. we want to take you to south africa where government granted parole named prime evil and he tortured and murdered black activists in the 1980s and 1990s. let's go straight to tonya page live from joe -- johannesburg and why did this happen? >> the best person to answer this is the person from constructional service who is with me now and it was ultimately his decision to make and one he labored over and tommy why won't that take him

and reveled by the people? >> thank you to you and your viewers. we are gathered and joined by the constitution as i have said in my earlier interview, in the early days of my appointment, for example, i had an interaction with the president to get his council and he reminded me very firmly that in everything i do i should make sure i uphold the constitution. that alone made it much easier for me in discharging in this regard and many other instances, we made sure that public opinion and public pressure whether it's politically motivated or otherwise did not form the basis for the decision that is to be

made and that it is solely on the evidence is for us. >> reporter: so 20 years and shown remorse and helping police as well with identifying the sights of some of the victims, although public opinion may not form a part of that decision this is something that many people will find so controversial because he was the leader of a death squad, confessed to more than 100 cases of murder torture and fraud. >> just to remember that as part of national reconciliation early on in our democracy we adopted a truth and consolation process which a lot of people in that position had amnesty and never had to serve a single day in a correctional facility. and literally had to scrap and

continue to live their lives freely in society. and amnesty for many of people except for those that ended up serving a sentence for because he did not convince the tfc at the time he qualified for amnesty. so i think that perspective needs to be brought into the equation in making that answer. but beyond that as i indicated that the flaw in the country embedded in our constitution and if a person qualifies in terms of the criterias that you have no basis to deny. >> reporter: minister of justice and correctional services here in south africa responsible for that decision to papa papa -- parole eugene there.

>> a funeral held for state prosecutor who was found dead in his apartment last week at the time of his death he was investigating the 1994 bombing of a jewish community center in buenes-ares and the editor reports. >> reporter: hundreds of well wishers took part in the funeral as the casket made it to a cemetery and a private burial a week after his suspicious death and originally deemed a suicide it's still under investigation, cloaked in conspiracy theories that implicated the president, the shady spy services to iran intelligence agency and even the masad. >> translator: to come to the burial of prosecutor is to bury a part of our nation and it's a

day of reflection and sadness for all people. >> translator: i was angry before and it seems the country is even more angry now it's more angry because this death is just too much. >> reporter: the public prosecutor died the night before he was to address congress to provide more details on his indictment against the president and her foreign minister. he had accused both of conspiring to cover up iran's alleged role of a bombing of a community center in 1994 argentina large and influential large community points the finger at the president and the jewish foreign minister who was in costa-rica attending a summit. after he declined to speak to us on camera about the case but when i asked him whom he thought was behind the death and looking tense and angry he answered if i knew i would have reported it to the investigators, the president insists this was all a

conspiracy organized by argentina's spy agency which she says manipulated eastman and his death to try to destroy her politically. there is no doubt that he died from a bullet to his head from a gun lent to him by associate who is last to see him alive. >> translator: he told me he did not trust his security. >> reporter: ordinary people are concerned that his death just like the 1994 bombing of the jewish community center he was investigating is one more case where the answer to who done it may never be known. but in the short term there is no question that the scandal and intrigue surrounding the death has not been buried with him. al jazeera, san jose. a string of crisis across africa is top of the agenda this year's african union summit and leaders particularly focused only boko haram attacks in northeast nigeria and eu has a plan to set up a multi national

task force to fight the armed group and also pushing for a power sharing deal between south sudan president and the former vice president and we have more from catherine covering the summit at the eu ethiopia capitol and of course it seems like it's no ordinary eu summit what is at stake here exactly? >> absolutely. security in the continent is at stake here and what the leaders have been talking about. many sideline meetings on different countries that are in crisis. the opening session of the summit is still going on and those who made speeches are focusing on security and the au chair, the au commission chair talked a lot about security in the continent but she also talked about eu agenda 2063 and

need to diversify economies and also the need to feed itself and a speech by ban ki-moon who touched and the crisis and on boko haram he said the u.n. will support africa troops and expressed concerns about the peace process and called for decisive action of rebels in drc and offensive now that is going on against this group. he also raised concerns about extremism in the horn of africa and uncomfortable to some of the leaders who are in that meeting he cautioned leaders who refused to leave office with the towns and listen to your people and joining me is with the institute of security studies and doctor many issues for the eu to deal with and let's start with boko haram and they called for 7500

strong multi national regional force, how will this force be operational? we know nigeria has always been reluctant to have foreign troops on its soil. >> thank you very much. on nigeria, i think a couple of things to take note of. the first is from the very beginning there were problems of consensus and also trust between nigeria and neighboring countries who have also been affected by the boko haram attacks. there were a number of sticking points after the lecture agreed for the establishment of the multi national task force against boko haram. one of the sticking points has to do with cross border operations in pursuit of boko haram. and on that one, one of the points in nigeria repeatedly said this is dealing with boko haram in the own territory by itself but increasing attacks by

boko haram and expansion to neighboring countries has put into question nigeria's claim that it is capitol of dealing with boko haram on its own within its own territory. so the meeting that happened in nigir at the minister level resulted for the establishment of this international task force that will bring together this 7500 so the election that is taking place in nigeria also takes a great deal of attention away from the action against boko haram. it's only after the election that roots in nigeria coming with a plan and being at the center of this process against boko haram, before that nigir will have the same position of being on defensive against boko haram. >> reporter: the eu has many times been criticized to respond

to crisis situations in africa do you think this criticism is fair? >> well this criticism and response of african union from crisis to crisis has not been the same and some crisis it responded well and some didn't and the comment should be seen in the context of the place that african e u can only act when there is consensus among its members. if and when members are willing and able to provide leadership and so many instances the leader to hezbollah and response of the african union and circumstances left so much to be desired. >> reporter: thank you very much. that was solaman from the institute of security studies, now this afternoon the heads of state are going to closed door sessions to tomorrow and by the end of the day tomorrow we are going to hear the resolutions on the positions they have made on some of the major issues that are affecting the continent.

>> thank you very much catherine is live for us. time for a check on the world weather now with everton and everton it's looking pretty miserable in europe. >> that sums it up and moscow is bad and temperatures 10 11 degrees above average and elsewhere it's grim and horrible and look at the satellite and massive cloud on central parts of europe and over to the northwest and look at the clouds streaming its way across the eu from the north it was a cold direction and area of low pressure dragging in northerly winds and low countries and across italy and balkins and seeing unsettled weather across a good part of central and western europe at the moment and looks like a grim weekend if the truth be known and this was the scene in the northern parts of uk through the course of thursday and significant snowfall ayos scotland and ireland and england and north whales and we will see more snow

there and some reports are suggesting that this could have been a suicide bombing. however, there is no confirmation as yet. >> who could be behind this attack, kamal? >> well this is the second attack against a shia mosque. the first attack taking place in roal almost a week ago and this attack of course carries the hallmarks of perhaps one of the sectarian groups who are groups of the taliban, pakistan the country's interior minister saying that they would not be situated from carrying on with the action that is a national action plan. pakistani prime minister in karachi today to be with the crisis in the country and particularly from the taliban in pakistan no one has yet taken responsibility. however, we do expect some claim

of responsibility within the next few hours. >> kamal in islamabad thank you very much indeed for that update. now to lebanon where thousands are gathering in the hezbollah stronghold in beirut and group leader is scheduled to speak later this friday, tensions have been high between the lebanese armed group and israel after two soldiers and peace keeper were killed in cross border fire on wednesday and nicole johnston is live at beirut and everyone waiting to hear what he is going to say and going to speak in three hours, what are we expecting? >> this is a significant speech and it's the first time we will have heard from him since this attack was carried out inside syria or against the hezbollah fighters and the one general from the iran revolution regard and we expect this is a challenge for him to detail the

operation and no doubt to also talk about this wide front that hezbollah has in some respects opened up against israel. we talked about it before this is a front that extends all the way from southern lebanon to the golan and he is likely to also use it as an opportunity to thank iran for support and operational support as well and it's a chance for him to really emphasize that despite hezbollah's role in syria with thousands of fighters in there fighting on the same side as bashar al-assad that the main fight or campaign is still against israel and very much able to take on israel inside the occupied areas and it has not forgotten about the war with israel. >> the lebanese cabinet, nicole has released a statement late last night about the attack and seems to have taken a long time for them to release this

statement, why is that and what are they saying in it? >> yes, it did. it really took all day and the cabinet met for the whole day and goes to show how deeply divided the government is here and it's a coalition government and actually there has not been a president here since may of last year they can't even agree on that so even coming up with a statement was difficult enough. now in that statement they emphasize they don't want the situation with israel to escalate quote, they say they want to deprive israel of a conflict that threatens the entire region and that the state of lebanon is committed to the u.n. resolution which marked the end of the war between israel and hezbollah in 2006 and what is statement emphasis was and the other important thing to come out of the cabinet meeting was they decided to agree to increase the size of the internal security force by around 5,000 men.

now, this is a force that operates in southern lebanon, it's a police force and it's not right on the border but it's in lebanon and down in the south, so the significance at least they decided finally to increase the size of that force. >> nicole thank you very much indeed and nicole johnston in beirut. national day of mourning being observed in the philippines for 44 police officers killed fighting separate cyst-- separatists and say the government failed to protect them and demanding answers and we are in manila. >> reporter: a somber farewell to heros that is what the president called the 44 police officers who were killed in last sunday in a fire fight in the southern philippines. >> translator: this symbolizes that they lived and died not for themselves but for the sake of the philippine people. we recognize their heroism and their sacrifices and we offer

groups in the area. government forces have been killed in so-called misunderstandings before but this is the first time it has happened since the country's peace deal with milf was formalized last year. the deal's details on how to decommission rebel forces is still being fine tuned but support for the deal and establishment of an an atomonos is failing. >> he is unsympathetic and no clear explanation or answers as to how this happened. he met families of the police officers at the memorial service but was notably absent when the bodies were first brought to manila the day before angering people by going to an opening of a car manufacturing plant instead. >> it's attacked leadership which is quite surprising and

welcome back. the world has a lot more than it needs and making life desperate for dairy farmers and one of the hardest hit is new zealand and it had been enjoying record high prices because of up surge from russia and china and now russia is blocking it in western countries from sanctions in ukraine. the u.s. meanwhile has used produce, up production rather because domestic demand for milk boomed and now the world is being flooded with what is left over. that is not good for milk-producing countries, for example farmers in the uk have long been struggling against large supermarket chains buy in bulk and can afford to dictate what they pay, that added to the access of world milk means no one is prepared to pay a realistic price for what farmers

produce. in the last month alone 60 farmers in uk forced to leave the industry and charlie has a second part in our series on global milk prices. >> reporter: tim has his favorites in his 250 strong herd and milk has given him an income for 20 years but that may be about to change. the milk market is in putting farmers out of business every day and tim is in the game but barely. >> 30-40 prices off certain producers in the uk driving those producers to the points of unviability. >> reporter: the cost of a liter of milk is 45 cents and factor in labor, fees and fertilizer but prices have gradually eroded and some are making 30 cents a liter. supply and demand and had a good summer and gave more milk than

usual and ban on eu important has a backlog and china appetite for diary is waning and they have a surplus of their own. also to blame are super markets and price wars have made milk cheaper than bottled water, a short-sighted tactic say diary supporters. >> if you want to discount milk to get people in your shop then you pay for it don't make the farmers pay for it. some retailers are better than others processed cheese is a problem where they buy it across the market in a lot of these big retailers drive the price of milk down through that. >> reporter: there is worse to come, in april the eu milk quota will vanish flooding the market with even more milk unless a way is found to stabilize the market the future of the next generation looks bleak. charlie with al jazeera new hampshire. and in part three of our

series on global milk prices we will report from the world's largest dairy exporter new zealand hit hard by the price slump and some farmers forced to take desperate measures that story on saturday right here on al jazeera. time for all the sports now. >> thank you so much and facing defending champion for a spot in the finalov the australian open the world number one going for his fifth title is being pushed by the four seed and winner of the semi final will go against murray in the semi final and jakovich has hit back to win the third. and the fifa deadline closed to nominate the presidential elections and there are five who put their name forward to challenge that bladder and weeks until fifa can confirm eligibility and support of five member associations and the

now look at the people who are trying to unseat him and there are a lot who want to do it and you say the problem is michael of the dutch fa in the race is hugely respected but of course it dilutes the challenge against bladder because look at prince alley of jordan and had support from europe and cannot count on too much support from europe and not the backing in asia because in asia it has already been said by federation after blacking bladder and it's the same in africa that bladder has the support and champaign cannot challenge him, heed a mitt -- he admitted that and doesn't have the support and unlikely to get it and this candidate is backed by a book maker, these are not men to challenge bladder, the man who looked like a challenge was michelle who knew he couldn't win and is not in the

race yet. expect at some stage there might be just one candidate who people are seriously expecting to get against bladder and take him on the way things look at the moment he will not have support in may. >> mere from lee weldings a bit later and thanks for now. the president of the asia futbol association there is some news to remove australia and joined asia in 2006 after the switch and comes as the socoroos will face them on saturday. >> summer time in sidney usually means a day at the beach but here the main topic of conversation is not surfing but the socaroos. >> they lost in the first round and had a lot of opportunities and should be good. >> reporter: how do you think it will go? >> they are going to win, yes. >> i certainly will want to know
