baskers. at least 40 people have been killed during a riot at a football match in a the egyptian capital cairo. researchers say it's the worst football riot since three years ago in cairo that led 40 dead.. >> some do not have tickets for the game. police try to stop them with barricades, when that doesn't work they fire tear gas. some people have accused the police of using violence to try to pacify the crowd. the police have denied this. >> few people walked in slowly and then we have someone telling us we will let you in from the back door so people thought okay this is it we will get in from

the back door then they started using tear gas. because of the large numbers people started to run they started jumping over the fence. >> in the confusion a stampede occurred and many people died from suffocation. >> we need to look at how it was handled tonight. i mean the way police dealt with the violence and how egyptian blood has become so cheap and how are fans being killed so easily over a football match? >> egypt is no stranger to football violence, in 2012 fans were killed at port said. 21 people were sentenced to debt for their part of the violence. back in cairo sunday night families were at morgues trying to find their loved ones. >> we were trying to have fun. instead of celebrating we are

here to attend funerals. this is the time we are living if now, this is our day and age. >> reporter: the egyptian prime minister held an urgent meeting to try to determine what happened. but it's determined to postpone the premier league. >> the size of the crowd was blamed for the violence. increasing number of fans without tickets gathered outside the stadium. their numbers exceeded 10,000. they pushed the gates of the stadium and over walls which resulted in death of dozens. taking back control of 120 villages. they are continuing to fight i.s.i.l. in the town of kobe fully on the syrian border with

turkey. general john allen said america is a partner in iraq not syria. osama ben jave has the latest. >> these are the targets that jordanian jets are continuing to hit. claiming it has hit dozens of targets. >> we targeted dash garrisons where they sleep and eat and we successfully destroyed more than 19 targets. after that the war against dash is going to continue. we are determined to achieve the objectives of this war. and not only to degrade dash capabilities. we are going to destroy dash. >> the general says the u.s. led coalition has conducted 7500 missions since the air strikes

began. jordan has participated in almost 20% of the strikes. and the military estimates it's killed more than 7,000 i.s.i.l. fighters. the jordanian campaign has received support from regional and international allies. the united arab emirates is sending a squadron of its f-16 jets while the u.k. is sending troops in an advisory role. some argue the campaign needs to be ratcheted up. >> the whole campaign i could comment on that is too slow doing too little very constrained sort of thing. we need to open up, we need to increase the sortie rate like 600, 800 sortie a day. needs spare parts airplanes asked even rbvs, remote vehicles. we didn't get it because of the bureaucracy of the state

department or the pentagon or the congress so we need these airplanes. they can inflict a lot of damage. >> and that support will be crucial to keep the momentum against i.s.i.l. in place like the town of beji. iraqi forces took control of village. a suicide bombing killed several iraqi soldiers, in fallujah in annan baranbar province. osama ben javed, al jazeera. >> meanwhile f 16 fighters from united arab emirates have landed

jordan. planes will shorten pert of time pilots are in the air. the fight against i.s.i.l. has been high on the agenda in a security summit in germany. they've also been talking about iran's nucialtion program. iran's nuclear program. a march agreement on iran's nuclear ambitions isn't met. iran's ayatollah khamenei. >> i would agree with that and believe that the iranian nation would not oppose an agreement in which its dignity respect and interests are respected. >> tony abbott has survived a

vote and will stay in office for now. >> i suspect that the past weeks have been difficult weeks for the government but they've been difficult weeks for the australian people because the people expect and deserve a government that is getting on with the job. i'm confident that we are putting there time behind us and i'm confident that we are back at work for the people of australia. >> andrew thomas sent the upt fromupdatefrom sydney. >> he won the votes 61-39 amongst his parliamentary colleagues. that is surviving but only just. doesn't clear up the questions about his leadership. 16 months ago tony abbott won a

convincing majority. but since then, mining sector has dropped off, that is a key one for the australian economy australia's budget is in deficit. tony abbott has said his priority was to bring it back to surplus. but he hasn't been able to pass through legislation that would allow that. things have been rejected by parliamentarians. accommodate with that, tony abbott's governing style not seen as collaborative enough, and he is a sort of man who makes comedic mistakes, he said he would shirt front vladimir putin, over the shooting down of the malaysian plane. it means throw down somebody in kind of a rough way. well tony abbott was clearly never going to do that to vladimir putin. it seemed a little silly to

suggest he should. he awarded a knighthood to queen elizabeth's husband. most people are more lukewarm about the monarchy. that was seen as a captain's call gone wrong challenge to his leadership is not far away. >> the leaders of ukraine russia france and germany will meet in belarus wednesday. following a phone conference on sunday. pro-russian separatists are also expected to attend the new round of talks. >> the new greece prime minister is alexis tsimras stayed true to

his policy. a. >> the greek people gave a mandate, to change policies. consequently the notorious bailout was first cancelled by its very own failure and its destructive results. >> that means at the end of this month there will be no more bailouts for grease. instead mr. tsipras wand a sort of bridge being agreement. >> we will say it again and again. grease wants to service its debt. if our partners want this too they can join us at the table to find a way to make it viable. >> but to be viable, the greek government needs to deal with debts totally around $362

billion. and it will need to reassure euro zone members that it is serious. >> i think it's the right time to hear from the greek government what their proposal would be to move forward and we'll have a first round debate on that. i don't expect conclusions. it will take time, they are complex matters. different views. it will take time but we'll have a first round of constructive debates next wednesday. >> the new greek government has introduced some minor cuts to ministerial budgets. but its central rejection of austerity and its endorsement of a higher minimum way remain. mean the debate with euro group leaders on wednesday may not be so constructsive. dominic kane, al jazeera. >> coming up on al jazeera the family of jailed al jazeera

completely false. we are ready to go. we are a nation that is guided by laws and take very seriously the issue of life and property. if for example we were proceeded with election and people were slaughtered simply because the military can't do their job you would be criticizing us for this. and general bohari, saying the military couldn't take care of this, in five years he didn't buy one bullet for the military. we will win this election and we will put bohari and the situation to shame. >> power at the end of may is sacrosanct, if he loses the election but the election dates could under the constitution be moved again. nigeria security services are not promising that it will be safe to hold the elections in six weeks. the advice to move the polls is a first move.

fatigue policy, but it's not being followed or implemented properly. we have a lot of contracting out. when i first started in this industry 35 years ago i went to a four year apprenticeship school. we feel people coming to work are not qualified or safe but there are no checks or balances that we can find that forecast out. we are hoping that the industry will listen to what we're saying and give people an opportunity to learn these jobs and for us to teach and do these jobs. >> the united nations envoy to yemen say on mon jamal abdel malek, jamal el sleighal has shayal.

booms don't work, using dispersants, as we know is a hard way in the gulf of mexico, often dispersants make these things worse we have to stop them before they happen. >> competitors in the yukon ultra, across the northern yukon territory. the competitors will brave temperatures of 40 below celsius and greater. the basta awards, phil lavelle reports. >> that's the first. a bastas without rain or snow. definitely not the norm here. >> has not a first.
