5:03 am
sorrow we received the news about the martyrdom at the hands of daisch. that gang is not related to our faith in any way. he died while defending his faith, homeland. >> riots broke out in the area where he is fro. people feel it was a stir up violence and unrest in the country. at a baseball gathering relatives and tribes were devastated to hear good news about the fate of the pilot. and some questioned about the role in the national coalition of i.s.i.l. now have the answers. >> translation: i absolutely was against before. i didn't encourage it. now i.s.i.l. is our problem, and it's imperative for jordan to
5:04 am
stay in the coalition to prove that blood was not shed in vain. >> contrary to the usual beheading, this is 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 by i.s.i.l. the group demanded the release of sajida al-rishawi and jordan was willing to negotiate a deal. i.s.i.l. demanded the release after it had already killed moaz al-kasasbeh. the moaz al-kasasbeh ordeal ended badly. the government hops more will support the fight against the islamic state. it's because it doesn't appear jordan plans to reduce its role in the coalition following a major consultation with i.s.i.l.
5:05 am
>> translation: i demand it be greater than executing the president. i demand that i.s.i.l. be anhilated. violating all the international laws codes of ethics and conventions. that is why i demand the government swiftly take revenge for the blood and dignity of our country. >> how widespread is the anger in jordan that question i put in nisreen al-shamayleh in amman. >> before this happened before we saw the video of the murder of moaz al-kasasbeh. there was a fear that people would go out in the streets and have riots and block roads. it comes from a tribal background. people expected that these would
5:06 am
be the images coming out. however, we heard about some riots in the area. they denied them and turned them into sit-ins against i.s.i.l. what this has done to the jordanian people surprisingly. people are saying that they realised that it has been made clear that i.s.i.l. is jordan's work and they should continue to fight, and those with questions or question marks about the role where jordan should be part of the coalition, they are convinced that this is the right thing to do. it is not an incident. but it will come and people feel more threatened making a
5:07 am
statement. others did not say a word yesterday after receiving the news about the murder of his son. he is calling gains the coalition, against i.s.i.l. to intensify strikes on i.s.i.l. to destroy and get rid of. >> and king abdullah having to beat a hastery retreat from his meeting with president obama in washington arrives back in the country. what is the reception that he is likely to get once he is down in imam? >> since yesterday the government urged the group. large groups of people are expected to be there when he lands in a show of unity and solidarity to show that jordanian people are united in his televised state wednesday night.

he called on jordanians in the face of what he described as terrorism and what he called a criminal gang. this is sort of what we have been seeing here. there were fears that the ordeal the demand for hostages to be released the fate of the japanese of kenji goto jogo to the fight of moaz al-kasasbeh. people are calling them dirty games and said that they intended to try to face unrest and conditions are going to come out and not let this happen and they are more convinced of the war in i.s.i.l. the images that they saw of the pilot has explained to them why jordan is doing what it's doing.
5:09 am
let's go to syria now, and the leader of the armed group, from the army of islam declared damascus a military zone. the statement, the syrian government on the city of domma and near qatar. the statement adds that all members of the diplomatic missions stay away from government posts. a curfew during working hours was put in effect early wednesday morning. >> at least 20 people have been killed in a plane crash in taiwan. rescue workers are looking for passengers. >> reporter: tourists are on the trans-asia plane. not long after it took off it
5:10 am
starts falling. and clips a bridge. seconds later into the kiel ongoing river. >> translation: right now we are asking the military to set up a makeshift bridge to get near the fuselage. we think a lot of trapped people are in the plane. that's making the rescue a delicate one. the river may be shallow, but the angle of the plane means only two at a time can enter. the flight crashed near the airport. it has taken up from taipei and was on its way to the nearby kinman islands. last year 48 people were killed in a crash involving the same model of plane. it was also a trans-asia domestic flight. transasia is looking into how this could have happened twice in one year but the focus for now is on getting more of the
5:11 am
trapped passengers who have been under water for hours. all right, now to adrian brown, our correspondent in beijing. the chinese capital. we understand now that heavy lifting needs to be brought in. >> that's right. a giant crane is in place. presumably to start lifting the fuselage. it will be a delicate operation. it may mean that they have retrieved or recovered the bodies inside. most of the dead were mainland chinese tourists. that has come out in the last few minutes. there's a press conference at the moment given by the taiwanese government in which more details have been released. we heard the audio of the pilot just as the plane went down. he was complaining about an engine. after that radio contact was lost. the aircraft involved in the
5:12 am
accident was an atr 72. it was operated by trans-asia airways. the third-largest airline. it's the same type of craft operating by the airliner crashing killing 48. investigators want to know if there's a connection. earlier today the chairman of the airline gave a press conference apologising but it was too soap to speculate on the cause of that accident. >> indeed two fatal crashes for transasia airway a crim year for chinese travellers. >> absolutely. 11 months ago a malaysian airliner disappeared over the indian ocean. another malaysian airliner crashed in ukraine, and then
5:13 am
after christmas a flight crashed flying were between surabaya and singapore. now we have the latest accident in suburban taipei. it's been a terrible 12 months. >> and let's just take a moment to have a look at a terribly dramatic picture of the plane which clearly got into trouble shortly after takeoff. because it wasn't terribly high. it's just above the high-rise building in typi before it starts to dive. >> there are the pictures in taiwan many cars have cameras to record traffic accidents. no one expect pictures line this to see a plane almost kart wheeling out of the sky. it was a terrifying time for the
5:14 am
motor of the. you see the aircraft wing clipping the roof of a taxi. the wing plunged into a wall plummeting into the kee long river. it was a terrifying and dramatic few seconds. >> adrian brown updating the latest on the situation in taipei. thank you very much indeed now to argentina, where an arrest warrant for the president has been found at the home of a prosecutor who died in mysterious circumstances. the leading investigator into alberto nisman's death found a 26 page warrant in the rubbish. daniel schweimler has more. >> there were those that related this case to that of a spying novel. it will be made into a movie. the viewers find great difficulty in following the
5:15 am
plot. it was found in alberto nisman's flat. what looked like a warrant for the arrest of the president and the foreign minister. it was denied and then admitted by the investigator. it's not keer at this stage whether -- clear at this statement whether mr alberto nisman committed suicide or whether he was killed and who was behind the murder. very uncertain. while this was going on president, mrs. cristina fernandez de kirchner is in china on an official visit. occasionally tweeting on this case. a couple of things that became clear is that we are as far from ever from 1994 bomb attack on the jewish cultural center in buenos aires that killed 85, or who is behind the death of alberto nisman. >> and it was in the last come of hours that cristina fernandez
5:16 am
de kirchner arrived in china. she's been sweeting talking about strengthening ties bean buenos aires and beijing, and hasn't mentioned anything about the allegations that have been considered since her arrest. stay tuned. we'll keep up up to date with all the main stories, including what is going on in al jazeera, and a commercial comedian appearing in a paris court. he's accused of condoning terrorism. all the details in a short while. the fans with the passion, but does equatorial take the win on home soil for the african cup of nations. all the details in sport troops have managed to kill 200 boko haram fighters in neighbouring nigeria.
5:17 am
chad and cameroon sent soldiers to help the nigerian government fight against the armed group. if you look at the map you can see that these are neighbouring countries, forming some kind of link. let's go to abuja and speak to our correspondent. are we seeing a positiveness from the collaboration of nig with its neighbours and the fight against boko haram. >> well it depends who you are. according to the defense in abuja the fright -- abuja, the
5:18 am
fight is bean won. they are expelling terrorists from the territory. much is made of the fact that you have foreign forces fighting boko haram in nigeria. this is not new, that it's a multi national force, organised by by lateral countries with an from in the border. remember they have launched attacks in the neighbouring countries, like chad and cameroon. however, if you talk to non-governmental organizations, emergency management those dealing with the fall out from what has been going on in the areas, there's concern, worry that the exact of this is having on civilians. there's concern and worry about the impact of this on tens of thousands of displaced persons.
5:19 am
it's difficult to know what the authorities are prosecuting the war against terrorism, and the impact of all of this. >> and in this hugely volatile area nigeria is considering - is supposed to be holding a presidential election on 5 february, and, indeed elections on of 20th of february. is that still going ahead. because, of course there are doubts over the number of people dispossessed if you like, by that turmoil in the north-east. but that they can't take part in the election. >> that's right. according to the electoral commission in the capital, it will be held in those three dates, borno and adamowa. they are conscious of the security situation. they've been promised additional security by the nigerian police
5:20 am
and military assisting to conduct the poll. there's concern as individuals in the areas, individuals in the areas that get the opportunity to vote. according to the electoral commission. there's a possibility that if there is violence or they are unable to conduct for whatever reason, that this will not hinge on the overall credibility of the vote. you need to look at the population in the area. it is disputed. some say 9 million people live in the area some say 12 million. but overall we are talking about 70 million registered voters. to their rule it's impossible to conduct the polls in that area. it won't hinge on the overall credibility. >> within the last hour or so we have heard from the political parties calling for the
5:21 am
election. i think we may have lost the connection. okay. our correspondent live in abuja. sadly the technical clinches ended that prematurely let's move on. the army and the democratic republic of congo announced a fresh offensive against a rebel group associated. this announcement was made a week or so ago. so far there has been no action taken against the f.d.l.r. many have been in the area for years. >> reporter: a new general takes control. province his men are expected to fight the rebel group, the
5:22 am
f.d.l.r. last week the army chief announced the launch but fighting has not started yet. the new commander urged his men to uphold discipline. our elders told us that they'll walk around like a god. standing in line wearing a uniform. marching. congolese army with u.n. support deciding to disarm all the groups in the east. the f.d.l.r. is next on the list. some here are wondering why this hasn't started after the rebels missed a deadline to surrender. we filmed the video last year. the leaders have been trying to present the peace, they disarm and want to hold talks with rwanda. the u.n. says they must be
5:23 am
disarmed by force. they don't believe there's the political will to do it. he's an analyst and says the instability allows the president and neighbouring countries to profit from the mineral wealth. >> all of the gentlemen are reaping a lot of money, building personal empires over eastern congo. people from the international community and the residents in north africa. they have not made up their minds to restore dignity. >> reporter: the army says it's ready. everyone believes that the men can defeat the f.d.l.r. the f.d.l.r. split into different factions and disappeared into the bush. they are weaker. >> reporter: after the parade
5:24 am
the commander spoke to journalists but wouldn't comment. >> translation: regarding f.d.l.r. i can only say what the head of the army says. >> reporter: the soldiers are waiting for the attack and people living are waiting to see if and when they can live in peace. to india, and the number of women who underwent sterilisation surgery rose by more than 35% in the past year according to the health ministry that released new figures, saying that indian women are opt opting for it despite deaths involved in this kind of operation. let's go live to new delhi. what is behind women opting to be sterilised?
5:25 am
>> it's a right to information request highlighting that population control is very much an important part of the developing india policy and it shows the trends the numbers. they are looking to increase by 36%, and the number of women sterilised. it is under 25%. it goes to the claims that health putting out for some time, that the burden continues to fall on women, and that's where this is significantly. >> but it also means that even more women are opting for this despite the well publicised case. >> absolutely it shows by the figures that the policy is very much under way. and also the quota or the
5:26 am
pressures of the numbers beside the programs goes back to the incident last year. also you are looking at interesting information about the funding of the programs. if you look at them it is run bit the foundation of india. it found the budget spent on incentives. opposed to things like better medical equipment. which could be the area where the policy needs to be made the most. >> thank you let's get the weather now, everton here we have news of snow. >> we have seen snow making its way to the north of africa. the satellite picture, fair amount of cloud that has been swirling around on the western
5:27 am
side. it's to the north of al jazeera, algiers was freezing last night. top temperatures of maybe 8 degrees through the next couple of days. in terms of wet weather. here is the snow over the higher ground. at lower levels it may be wintry weather, making it through. brighter skies coming back in behind. it goes slightly clearer weather making its way in. elsewhere across north africa it's looking fine and dry. warm in cairo, southerly winds, temperature up to 20 degrees. as you can see, largely warm and settled weather making its way across a good part of the area. further south which have the showers across central parts of

africa plenty of showers, anywhere pushing around gabon into the gulf of guinea. wet weather making its way in as the sup makes its way north. thank you. more to come including the challenges ahead for ashton carter. president obama's nominee for deputy secretary plus making education more accessible for kenya's students. we find out if bayern munich holds on to the top of the league.
5:30 am
hello again, let's look at the top stories on the al jazeera newshour. jordan executed two convicts including the woman i.s.i.l. demanded in change for the jordanian pilot. it's in retaliation for the killing of the pilot, moaz al-kasasbeh 29 are missing, 20 are dead after a plane crash in taiwan. the aircraft clipped a brim before plunging into the river. rescue crews are at the scene trying to paul survivors from the wreckage reports that chadian troops killed 200 boko haram fighters. chad and cameroon sent the soldiers to help the nigerian government fight against the armed group. now, more on the killing of a jordanian pilot by i.s.i.l.
5:31 am
and the subsequent executions of two prisoners in jordan. we can talk to a political analyst based in amman. thank you for talking to us. killing of the two prisoners. the continues from jordan to the killing of the pilot by i.s.i.l. is it satisfactory for jord yans? > sorry, can you repeat it, i consistent hear you. >> are jordanians happy with the execution of the two prisoners on death row in retaliation for the killing of a jord aidan pilot. >> the jordanians - i wouldn't go so far as to say they are hope. since yesterday we could feel a food of calling for blood. it is a member of a tribe, and in tribal mentality, an eye for an eye is accessible and
5:32 am
demanded. so the fact that it was executed was not a surprise. the jordanian government hinted before in a message that if you care you would do the right thing. it is specially that he was burnt alive. the prospect of him coming back to jordan alive was slim. i think after the execution, each after it had accepted the idea soon they'd hear their son was killed. after yit beheaded them it would have created the action we are seeing. in islam, creating a dead body
5:33 am
is not accepted. how can the family accept that he was, in a way, cremated while he was still alive. it's really the manner that he was killed and the reflection. there are people people who are going to the airport to great the king coming back were his visit to the u.s. to be cut short. i think they'll be united. i think those against jordan in coalition. snow that is what we wanted to ask. will this whole episode affect the commitment to the campaign against i.s.i.l. >> at this particular time i don't think so. i think jordan will be able to declare that they'll do more. that's the mood of people.
5:34 am
and continue fighting them. they are the ones who killed against the jordanians. i think now it's an emotional reaction. probably after a while. after it sinks in voces who are opposed to the tradition of jordan it will point the fact that this will never have ended in the first place, if jordan was not in the coalition. >> on the short term i think jordan can not only continue its operations it can increase or spread them wider. >> rhonda hab eeb talking live from imam. >> you're welcome. >> south-west of the iraqi city of kirkuk i.s.i.l. have been
5:35 am
driven off. the government told al jazeera it was a major assault and a setback. and that they'd try again. >> reporter: the oil fields south-west of kirkuk belonged to islamic state of iraq and levant for two days. attacks were are won the installation were thwarted. they came from their stronghold laying claim to kilometres of territory. >> it was very serious. it actually was. initially they made some progress. >> kurds recaptured the lost ground. they lost a lot of men. commanders had to call the
5:36 am
anti-terrorism unit had to deploy to kirkuk. they came and took the whole area. they were helped by the arab tribes and the villages. many left. i.s.i.l. recruits them. telling them they were the enemy. >> the arab villages are empty. it shows suspicions that exist. kirkuk has a massive amount of oil. which is why many were between the city. the kurdish and regional government put aside the differences. they shared revenue from the oil production. >> most is pumped in kirkuk. production here has been suspended because of damage by the fighting. the iraqi budget based on the kurdish region producing 300 barrels a day in kirkuk.
5:37 am
>> this agreement is important. it's important to both sides. that is a critical thing. it's important for iraqi governments. >> reporter: oil is also important for i.s.i.l. they too want money. no one counts that they'll try to take kirkuk again tunisia's prime minister-elect announced a gas which lawmakers confirmed later on wednesday. the vice president which will be included in the cabinet will explain why his pertarty decided to join the government. >> translation: today we elect to be part of the government not the potential. we believe being part of the
5:38 am
government and also being part of the opposition we will deliver. we should live up to the expectations of the people. we should all take part. there is a great deal of polarization in tunisia. we will assist the opposition to make for the people of tunis. >> let's go live to our correspondent correspondent. is there any doubts that the new government will be confirmed. it's a matter of rubber-stamping, is it? >> tunisian politics came up with many things over the last four years. they need 109 votes from members. and you would think that number one and two biggest parties are
5:39 am
in the bost enabling for is to be past and the government to get to work. it seems that it is a party promoting political system and nidaa tunis, a secular type of party, have put aside their differences on religion and the role it should play in state affairs, and decide to focus on the economy. they come together forming the unity government. >> tunisians for the most part. what do they make of the coming together of the two. a vast number needed for nidda and assumed they'd take up an opposition role to act as a check to nidda tunes, which they won't as they are in a government. ounes, which they won't as they are in a government.
5:40 am
. >> yes, it weakens it. in october, when tunisia had elections, people were hopeful that the party they voted for would alert. some are saying this is like a one party that is not democracy. others say the country needs stability. it's good for the two parties to work together. there's many tunisians on the street telling you they are watching the upheaval around the middle east and proud to see tunisia as a role model and example of where democracy and islam can work together. in a way, the transition has been peaceful. but watching closely and hoping that the government will not be fragile. it will continue to be united. >> all right for now. thank you. nazanine moshiri, correspondent live in tunisia we have news coming in from the eastern ukrainian city of

anniversary of the independence. for a new president. it is inviting the hearts and mines of people in the country. they are talking of a need to bridge the gap. >> it's a challenge facing us. bringing to the minds of the people in the north and south. it brings about causes and national understanding. it takes human affections. >> in his address before the parliament parade grounds. it's fleging, through amendments through the parliament and remove the executive power of the president. by far the most important thing seen today. it's a declaration. talking about regret expressing honour of all communities.
5:43 am
throughout the year or part of the new area. >> the man who would be president obama's fourth defense secretary would have a confirmation hearing on wednesday. they talk on the controversies in jakarta. >> and the defense... >> ashton carter is well-known to congress and senators say odds are they'll confirm him as u.s. defense secretary. pentagon official say it's like i had to be tough. they'll have a chance to criticize obama's conspiracy record. the rise of i.s.i.l. and whether ashton carter would push the president to use ground troops. ashton carter is able to be seen well by history. if he's not object i don't care whether he or obama could study.
5:44 am
history won't. >> senators despite serving as the deputy secretary credits attention. people are skeptical he can overcome the president's closest advisors. >> an impact an broad policy i don't think is in that position. >> then an amount of money, the white house wants congress to spend $534 billion. >> blowing the spending by $36 billion. already they are fuming over the proposal. carter will have to defend the budget before he's responsible for it. he can expect tough questions about the soaring bills for the 35 and fighter jets and efforts to cut rising pension and welfare costs for retired
