how technology is making education more accessible for schoolchildren. appear but first jordan has executed hour after vowing to respond to the killing of a pilot captured by the islamic state of iraq and levant. sajida al-rishawi was on death role for her attack in a suicide attack that killed 60. another iraqi was executed. we have this report from amman. >> reporter: it's the news jordanians have been dreading. moaz al-kasasbeh, a pilot captured by the islamic state of iraq and levant last december has been murdered. the government confirmed moaz al-kasasbeh was killed on january 3rd, a month before a new video which al jazeera will

not show was attributed to i.s.i.l. on tuesday. it shows him burnt alive. jordan warned its response would be grave. king abdullah cut short a visit to washington d.c. >> translation: it is with sadness and sorrow we received the news about the martyrdom of our pilot moaz al-kasasbeh at the hands of cowards. that devious gang is not connected to our nobleal faith. >> reporter: riots broke out in the province where moaz al-kasasbeh hails from. people feel i.s.i.l. is trying to stir up violence. at a tribal gathering center in amman, relatives were devastated at the news. they have been meeting for

days hours on. waiting to hear news about the fate of moaz al-kasasbeh. >> translation: of course we will respond marchingly. -- harshly. >> reporter: some questioning jordan's role. >> translation: i didn't think it, now i.s.i.l. is our problem, and it's imperative to stay in the coalition, and order that martyr blood is not shed. >> reporter: contrary to beheading hostages moaz al-kasasbeh was the first hostage the group burnt alive. this has enraged people here. jordanians are angry not only because moaz al-kasasbeh was murdered but they feel manipulated. the group demanded the release of iraqi suicide bomber sajida

al-rishawi, and jordan was willing to negotiate an exchange deal. i.s.i.l. demanded that deal when they had already killed moaz al-kasasbeh. the ordeal ending badly for jordan the hope is that more people will support the government in its fight for the islamic state let's go to nisrene in imam. jordan promised a grave response to the killing of its pilot, can we expect anything beyond the two executions. >> it's difficult to tell at this point. we wouldn't know. what is clear is that jordan responded quickly and said it would avenge the death. he is grave as the people and the reason they carried out the executions is in order to placate the jordanian public who

was terrified and livid at the images they shore of him being burnt alive. that's confirmed. we saw the executions. usually they happen in the morning. kooubualy and sajida al-rishawi were moved from another detention city to this prison which was the only facility in jordan where the executions are carried out, where there is a facility to carry out the executions. now, there's a long bureaucratic process to carry out the execution of a prisoner on death row. there are many approvals and signatures required from the king himself, and from different ministries, like the justice minister ris and others running the facility we understand that this process has been expedited after news about the killing of

the pilot and last week a jordanian official said the process would be extra dieted if moaz al-kasasbeh was harmed or killed. >> king abdullah had to beat a hasty retreat from washington d.c. has he arrived back - presumably when he does he'll meet a country ipp sensed by recent events. >> he is expected to arrive in the early afternoon hours, probably in a few hours from now. we understand a number of jordanian groups are going to the airport to receive the king to show their unity with the government. the government was worried about major divisions among people probably more questions raised by the jordanian public about the role of jordan in the international coalition. now that this happened jordan lost one of its pilots in what they are describing as a barbaric killing.

there's more support for jordan's role and the coalition - people are starting to believe the wore is theirs, and that i.s.i.l. is indeed in their backyard. there has been a positive outcome as a result of this execution for the jordanian government. we'll see more people voicing their support for the government and what it's doing in targetting i.s.i.l. in syria and iraq. >> thank you nis rein alsham articlea 13 are known to have died. dozens missing after a plane crash in taiwan. this is the moment the aircraft went down after it appears to have hit a vehicle, clipped a bridge. rescue crews are still at the scene. they are trying to pull people who were trapped in the wreckage. let's go live to adrian brown,

monitoring developments from beijing. bring us up to date. the death toll is slowly rising. 13 is the datest. -- is the latest. >> that's right, a few hours ago the official death toll is at two. in the last hour both chinese media and the media in taiwan say it has risen to 13, and is expect to continue to rise. we understand more than 10 people passengers on the flight are unaccounted for. 31 were from mainland china. they were tourists taiwan and flying to the island of kin men, which is off the coast of mainland china, and the only way the mineland tourists can get to the remote island was to flyvia this airline. the fact that there were so many chinese tourists on the campaign

was a reflection of relations with china and taiwan. today, of course countries were working in tragedy. there was footage that you spoke of a short time ago showing aircraft and an a tr 72, it's cartwheeling over the elevated section of motor way, before plunging into the river. frntic efforts have been going on throughout. the waters here are quite shallow, so some of the rescuers have been able to wade out the fuselage to the wreckage it's been dragging people out throughout the day, and this operation is going to continue you know right into the evening. it will be dark soon. a reminder that this aircraft is an atr 72600. an aircraft of a similar type

also owned by trans-asia airways crashed in july. this is the second crash involving the same type of aircraft belonging to airways. let's remind ourselves, this is a tragic rear. last marge malaysian airliner disappeared in the indian ocean, and a few months later another malaysian airliner crashed in ukraine, and in december an air-asia flight disappeared, crashed while flying between surabaya and singapore, and now we have a plane with more than 50 people on board crashing in suburban taipei today. >> adrian brown live in beijing. thank you now to argentina, where an arrest warrant for the president has been found at the home of a prosecutor who died under mist earous circumstances in january. the lead investigator into the

death of alberto nisman said the 26 page warrant was discovered in the garbage. daniel schweimler has more from buenos aires. >> there are those that are likening this case to a spy novel. it's one of the most intriguing that argentina has seen. if it should be made into a movie, the viewers would find difficulty. it's more convoluted by the day. investigators had found warrants for the raft of the president and the -- arrest of the president and the foreign minister. it was denied and admitted by the investigator. it's unclear at this stage whether alberto nisman committed suicide or whether he was killed and who was behind it it's still very uncertain. the president, mrs. cristina fernandez de kirchner, is in china on an official meeting.

one thing that remains very clear is that we are as far ever finding whoever might be behind the 1994 bomb attack on the cultural center in buenos aires, that killed 85 people or who is behind the death of alberto nisman. you may remember that the democratic republic of congo said it was going to attack a rebel group associated with genocide. so far there has been no action against the f.d.l.r. many fighters have been in the group for years. some are accused of rape and killing. >> reporter: at this congolese parade, it's here that they are expected to fight for a rival group. >> last week the army chief announced. the fighting had not started.

they urged their men. we were told that they'd walk around like a goat. have you seen a goat in uniform, clean shave ep marching in step never. the congolese army with u.n. support had a programme to disarm the groups. they'd been fighting them since 2013. the f.d.l.r. is next on the list. some wonder why the offensive has not sat. after the rebels missed a deadline to surrender. we've met the f.d.l.r. twice. the group's leaders have been trying to prevent animage. they are disarming. but they and the international community don't buy it. the deadline has passed and the u.n. says they must be decided by force.

a political analyst says instability allows the presidents of congo and countries to profit from the mineral wealth. >> all of these men are reaping up a lot of money. they are building personal empires over eastern congo people's blood. >> the international community and the president in africa - they have not made up their mind to restore the dignity to the people. >> the army said it is ready and about to do attacks. >> the men can defeat the f.d.l.r. as long as they are fed and paid. the f.d.l.r. is split into factions and is weaker. >> i wouldn't comment on the operation. regarding the ldr applications i can only say what the head of

the army said he explained was being done. >> soldiers are waiting for the order to attack. people living here are waiting to see if or when they can live in peace. still to come on the programme - the challenge facing ashton carter - the man nominated to be president obama's defense secretary a controversial comedian appears in court accused of condoning terror. >> details in a little while.

control of the city. for now, the kurdistan government in the north and others have put aside their differences and agreed to share revenue if from the oil production in the north. >> most is pumped from kirkuk. production has been suspended because of the fighting. it is based on producing 300 barrels a day in kirkuk. >> the agreement is important to implement it fully, that's the critical thing. it's important for iraqi government, important for kirkuk as well. >> they need the money to fuel the war against i.s.i.l. oil is important for i.s.i.l. it too, and no one doubts that the armed group will try to take kirkuk again. >> police in france are
