>> announcer: this is al jazeera. ♪ from our headquarters in doha. this is the news hour in doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes. more violence in libya. isil claims responsibility for three attacks that killed at least 45 people. [ sirens blaring ] al-shabab fighters attack a hotel in somalia's capitol. government officials are among the victims. one year on the ukrainian capitol remembers the victims of the revolution as fighting continues in the east of the

country. i'm rob reynolds in arizona, where native americans are protesting a deal that allows a multinational mining organization to begin a giant copper mine on public land. ♪ at least 45 people have been killed in several explosions in eastern libya. five were egyptians. the blasts took place in the town 250 kilometers east of benghazi. army officials say one car bomb went off at a petrol station, a second reportedly targeted the home of the parliament speaker. the security headquarters were also attacked. militants claiming loyalty to isil have claimed responsibility. hundreds of libyans have rallied to protest against the egyptian air strikes on libya. the attacks followed the brutal murders of 21 coptic christians by an isil-linked group.

let's get more now from hoda abdel hamid who joins us near the libyan border with tunisia. does this mean isil's influence is growing in libya? >> reporter: that's what a lot of libyans would tell you, and actually the main question now is how -- how much of a footprint does isil or its affiliates have around the country? there was this bold triple attack this morning. we have seen isil's presence in sirte, actually a battle is looming there, the fighters wanting to retake that city from isil affiliates who are occupying government buildings there. they are in derna. we have seen attacks in tripoli, so certainly people are extremely worried about that and ever since the air

strikes -- the egyptian air strikes happened libyans are even more worried because that had further widened the gap in the country, especially on the political front. >> i want to take you up on that particular point. libya of course going through its own political chaos. what is the likelihood of the two rival governments putting aside their differences two thwart isil. >> reporter: there is a meeting set to take place next month in morocco. where the two governments would go and attend and try to form a national unity government. everyone is aware that that is a priority if you are to fight a common enemy being isil and its

affiliates. they have met in geneva and in another city inside libya. by all accounts there was a lot of progress made in the last meeting in libya. they had agreed on a framework. they had agreed on the mandate of the national unity government they agreed the national unity government who had been in power for about a year would supersede the two parliaments and two governments that are in tripoli and tobruk. and then came the egyptian air strikes. and those strikes were well received by the u.n.-recognized government in ta bruk, and condemned by the government in tripoli, and that has widened the gap. we are hearing that that meeting is still scheduled to go ahead. however, there are reservations from some people as we know it.

right now the u.n.-recognized government in tobruk is meeting and there are splits among the members on whether they should go to morocco or not. in the end i think there will be pressure from the international community for everybody to head there. libyans will tell you, without one government to fight a common enemy to try to find one structure of command in the security forces it will be very difficult to isolate isil or its affiliate and to try to bring the country ahead and stabilize it. >> thank you so much hoda. hoda abdel hamid speaking to us near tunisia. a leaks telephone conversation appears to suggest that a senior official in the office of egyptian president al-sisi was trying to influence foreign affairs.

one person is believed to control large libyan overseas investment, the phone call is more than a year ago at a time when sisi was the defense minister of egypt. the somali armed group al-shabab has claimed responsibility for two explosions in mogadishu. alex see o'brien reports. [ sirens blaring ] [ sirens blaring ] >> reporter: a vehicle ladened with explosives rammed through the front gate and then a suicide bomber blew himself up at the time. a deputy prime minister and other high-profile officials were injured and two were killed. >> translator: the explosion was so huge that it shook the whole surroundings. i survived by i saw several

people who were lying dead. the scene was very ugly with blood and flesh everywhere. >> reporter: the al-qaeda linked group, al-shabab has claimed responsibility. the hotel is popular with officials because it is near the presidential palace. it's a the second hotel to be targeted in as many months. >> the terrorists alsho bob have attacked a hotel, and then they killed a innocent number of [ inaudible ] in a mocs inside that hotel. so far we're trying to get the confirmation of who was injured and who was killed. >> reporter: al-shabab controlled much of the south until 2011 when an african union offensive pushed it out. since then it has carried out a number of attacks in somalia and neighboring countries, including the west gate mall where more than 60 people were killed.

this is the latest blow to the somali government and a reminder of al-shabab's deadly power. ukraine is marking the one-year anniversary of the crackdown on protesters in central kiev's independence square when over a hundred people were killed. president poroshenko addressed the crowd a little earlier. the maidan uprising as it is known toppled the former president. jonah hull is in kiev in independence which is also known as the maidan and joins us from there. a very grand ceremony for a very somber anniversary. >> reporter: yes, a very solemn anniversary, really. a year ago this square was the scene of mass killings. of course people have come here to remember those who fell the

so-called heavenly hundred but also to reflect on what has happened in this country since. this is a country in crisis divided in a very real sense, a country at war. to talk more about this i'm joined by a professor of political science at kiev's academy. thanks for joining me. earlier on as the orchestra played, you were clearly very emotional. explain to us the significance of this moment in time a year ago. >> well there was a peaceful non-violent resistance to criminal and corrupt dictator yanukovych who was supported by kremlin, but unfortunately the regime responded first with repressions with people who disappeared, kidnapped, who were tortured and killed. and finally, regime started massive killing, as you said 100 of people were -- were

killed, so definitely this was -- this was a price we paid for independence. i would like to -- to clear two things. you have said the country is divided. no, the country is united actually and its resistance now in resistance to russian aggression. it's not ukrainian crisis. you know, it was crisis when we were fighting against the yanukovych regime but then russia intervened so what we have now is not internal ukrainian crisis this is russian aggression, which russia violated all of the international obligations in a very cynical method. >> reporter: let me jump in there, do you feel given all that has hand that the deaths on this square were worthwhile? >> okay. if the nation is fighting for freedom. so unfortunately, again, i need to stress the resistance was

non-violent. the regime started to kill people. so in fighting for freedom, i believe every nation understands, and every nation has such periods in their own history, when peoples -- when peoples started to fight against -- against criminal -- against gangsteres actually. yes, people died so we paid our price for freedom. >> okay. we're going to have to leave it there, unfortunately. as the remembrance continues here on maidan independence square in kiev. >> thank you, jonah. jonah hull speaking to us on the anniversary of the maidan square uprising. efforts to stop the violence in ukraine continue with the leaders of france and germany meet in paris. the fees sire was to start five

days ago but has repeatedly been broken. ukraine has accused pro-russian separatists of breaking it dozens of times. paul brennan reports from donetsk. >> reporter: in central donetsk the sound veriries in intensity but never stops all together. they were been exchanging fire as if the ceasefire had never been signed. on thursday night, school 58 took a direct hit from an artillery shell. the school only reopened three days ago after repairing the damage from a previous attack. five times in the last six months this school was caught in a cross fire of the artillery jewels between the separatists forces and ukrainian army. they just spent more than $2,000 putting new windows back in and they waited until tuesday to reopen because they hoped that the ceasefire would provide some degree of calm. no one was killed by the sense of grievance is enormous. >> translator: we spent so much

money. so much of our hard work. we changed all of the windows. the money was collected by the parents of the children. we even tried to bring the school back to normal. but you see what happens. they shell us. thanks very much poroshenko. >> reporter: hitting this school even accidentally could scarily be more counterproductive. this room was among those damaged. the geography teacher has spent 20 years assembling the artifacts here. the souls of my ukrainian ancestors are here. it was so beautiful. and now they tell me i'm a separatists and a terrorist? it's unbelievable. helping the clean upeffort are these 15-year-old cousins. >> translator: we feel all emotions simultaneously, but most of all we feel insulted.

we were living here. everything was normal and then they came and started shelling us. >> translator: the fact is by shelling us, the ukrainians are shelling themselves. >> reporter: a few streets from the school another of 39 shell strikes landed in front of this residential block. many residents had already fled to other parts of the city. a few returned on friday to survey the latest damage and all the time the sound of nearby shell fire continued. >> translator: it's very difficult. when you come out to the street you are afraid. i tremble with fear. i'm scared of a shell landing next to me. it's a such a terrible fear. in all of my life i have never felt as scared as i do now. >> reporter: the experience of these people contradicts those who claim that the battle of debaltseve has been the only significant violation of the minsk peace agreement. there is no knowing when school 58 might reopen for now the

only less son being learned here is that in ukraine ceasefires work only on paper. paul brennan al jazeera, donetsk. the euro zone finance ministers have agreed on a draft accord that could extend greece's bailout package. it follows a tough day of make or break negotiations. let's get more from neave barker standing by for us in brussels. any details on this draft, neave? >> reporter: well yes, very recent developments indeed. the meeting of euro group ministers, and of course the greek finance minister was meant to start around 3:00 local time. it is now gone 7:00. reasons for those delays have been few and far between. but we have gathered now from a greek official that european ministers and greece have agreed on a, quote, draft accord.

we don't know much more than that for the time being. although we do gather that some key names on that list of signatories that have contributed to the creation of that outline document it may yet end up being something of an interim deal something to keep negotiations going for the time being until a firmer agreement is passed on to the euro group ministers at large, and then of course on to european countries for them to vote upon any kind of deal within their respective parliaments. >> all right. neave, we'll come back to you once there's more confirmation on that draft agreement. neave barker speaking to us from bussels. still to come on the news hour -- calls for the release of a venezuelan opposition figure after he is accused by the

the commission is proposing an international tribunal be set urgently. we are joined by a member of the u.n. commission of inquiry on syria. thank you, sir, for being with us. i would first like to ask you, how much support do you think there would be for this special court on syria war crimes? >> well we're here delivering our ninth report on the situation in syria, and we have appeared in an informal session with the security council. and we have called for assertive measures against the violators, including refer cases to the international court, or to refer cases to ad hoc tribunal along the line of what has happened in yugoslavia rwanda and so on. >> how effective would this

court really be? considering the syrian conflict is entering its fourth year. how do you try people currently involved in fighting? >> it's not the first time that it has hand. in fact in regard to former yugoslavia, we had the situation where the various leaders were still at large, and yet the process of prosecution was initiated, so we're cog that sent of the possibilities. >> its was a very, very long process, and the fact that the syrian war is still ongoing, i'm assuming the special court to try syrian war crimes would also involve a very long process. >> indeed. and that's one of the best reasons for having the commission inquire, to document cases with a view to prosecution at some stage, even though it may take a long time. i would add also we have proposed other entry points in addition. we have also been inviting

countries to use their national laws against their nationals when they perpetrate crimes in syria. for example, the issue of foreign fighters. >> very interesting. there is a consideration too -- and this is part of the recommendation a consideration of publishing a list of people involved in these war crimes that you have found. what would be the implications of making such a list public? >> firstly we have prepared four confidential lists. they are confidential lists and they have not been released in terms of the names, even though the paper is there, in terms of the list itself. secondly we're now preparing a fifth list confidentially and that will surely cover all of the alleged perpetrators, the government authorities as well as the other groups. thirdly, we have not decided yet whether to publish publishly the

names of the alleged perpetrators, but we're now considering the pros and cons on whether to publish publicly the names -- >> the question is if you do make this list publish, what would that do? would it stop the conflict? what would it do to the individuals on the list? >> well it's leveraging against impunity. it could trigger a variety of other measures. it could mean targeted measures at the national or international level. >> so good talking to you. thank you so much. member of the u.n. commission of inquiry on syria. now rival political factions in yemen have agreed on a people's transitional council to help govern the country. u.n. mediator says it will help guide yemen out of its political crisis. it's the first break through to

reconciliation since the houthi takeover earlier this month. hashem ahelbarra has more. >> reporter: yemen's political factions reach a deal on forming a new chamber in parliament which along with the house of representatives will be yemen's highist authority. >> this council will be in charge to lead the country for the next two years. the representation within the council, 50% for the southerner 30% for women, and 20% for youth. but the details of the distribution of these seats have not been agreed on. so this deal is an initial deal and very far from a final deal. >> reporter: and yemen's political crisis continues. the main factions have yet to agree on a presidential council. an interim government how to reform the army and the police

militants claiming loyalty to isil have claimed responsibility. al-shabab has claimed responsibility for two explosions in the capitol of mogadishu. euro zone finance ministers have agreed on a draft that could extend greece's bailout package. let's say with that story now. joining us is fernando jewel aun know. thanks very much for being with us. now it's a down to the wire here. greece has changed its earlier position, do you see the euro group meeting the greek delegation halfway? >> well i think greece has made very significant concessions. i mean that's what we heard the

greek finance minister say today in an interview which was reported. now, i think the euro group has stood pretty firm and has been quite united forcing greece really to come very close to the euro group position. the communique hasn't been released yet, and only then will we will able to understand how significant the concessions greece actually made were. but i don't expect the euro group to make significant concessions. germany was very, very firm yesterday. the finance minister said no to an earlier letter which was released by the greeks and seems to have got his way. but, again, let's see the communique first but at the moment it seems that greece has made the most significant concessions. >> the prime minister has requested for the loan period to be extended by another six

months. if granted to him, how would he make use of this time that has been given to him? >> well as i heard euro zone officials saying greece wanted the money for free. i mean the problem with the greek request was always that greece obviously wanted the cash from the euro -- euro zone partners, but at the same time wanted to have time to negotiate a better deal in terms of conditions. that means less austerity for its public finances and possibly a different approach to the program of structural reforms, that includes some labor market reforms that is something that alexis tsipras disagrees with. the euro zone said okay we will give you the money, but you need

to really say that you will stick to the conditions which your predecessor, the previous greek prime minister agreed to. this is what the controversy was really about. >> the greek euro group dilemma has made headlines around the world. there was some talk that greece might leave the euro zone. but do you think that we're about to see other countries like portugal or ireland maybe renegotiate their own loan terms with the euro group? >> i think we really need to see what comes out of this big negotiation. i mean if greece as it seems had to cave in to the rest of the euro zone, then it's very unlikely the other countries will ask for a renegotiation. the main one would obviously be

portugal. really the controversy is about the debt. ireland and portugal have left the bailout. greece is still borrowing money. the question was always going to be whether greece would demand a debt reduction. that could have had consequences for the other countries. portugal and ireland which have significant debts with the rest of the -- of the euro zone. now if greece does not obtain a writedown -- a write-off of its debt, as it seems likely at the moment so know no out right reduction, it's very very difficult that ireland and portugal will go and ask for it because greece hasn't obtained anything. >> thank you for explaining this very complicated situation for us. we appreciate it. to afghanistan now and as foreign troops and companies continue their withdraw the

so-called war economy is coming to an end, and that's leaving thousands of people out of work. nicole johnston has more now. >> reporter: they start gathering at dawn. jobless men with the tools of their trade. painters builders, and bricklayers, all desperate for work. >> translator: i was working for a foreign agricultural organization, it had 1,500 employees. now it has less than 50. i'm responsible for 40 people in the family and i haven't made any money for two months. >> reporter: most men had jobs that were somehow linked to the war economy. but now the work is gradually drying up. all over kabul thousands of people are waiting on the side of the road looking for a job, for an employer to come by and pick them up. and they are angry and frustrated but with the

unemployment rate growing their chances of getting thing are looking remote. others claim the government and its failure to agree on a new cabinet for driving investors away. this man says why aren't they making peace among themselves instead of filling their pockets. on the edge of the city diggers lie idol in the dust. construction machinery, lined up with not a customer in sight. mohammed was a refugee in pakistan. he returned home to set up his business. he was making $300,000 a year. and now the profits are cut in half. >> it should not be considered as a realistic economy. because it was -- suddenly disappeared. >> reporter: the new president ghani, says the economy can no longer rely on foreign aid, and the focus should be on

developing mineral resources. but this will take time. in the meantime the economic growth has slumped from 9% a year to 3 to 4% since the troops pulled out. >> we have seen the closure of more than 600 projects. and it has deprived almost 50,000 afghans, and they have become jobless. >> reporter: and as their savings run out, they are left to join the crowd of unemployed men, knowing there are hardly any new jobs to go around. nicole johnston al jazeera, kabul. thousands of meme from myanmar ethnic chinese haan community are fighting the army in the northeast. adrian brown sent this update. >> reporter: some 30,000 refugees are said to have fled across the border into china during the last nine to ten

days, and many have come here. they are being accommodated in what is normally a convention center. now some 25,000 we're told are being accommodated here. they are getting water, food and shelter. but none of them knows how much longer they will remain here because the fighting is still going on across the border. now this is a very tricky problem for china, because the rebels who are ethnic chinese are fighting the army of myanmar. now some of these rebels have appealed to china to provide aid, because they say, hey, we're ethnic chinese. but china has said there is no way that will happen. but myanmar is not so sure. a government minister said china should do all it can to prevent chinese soil from being turned into a base for terrorist.

that is the sort of language that will enrage beijing. china has always scoffed at notions that they will provide aide to the ethnic chinese rebels. a few years ago, china was probably the only friend this myanmar had. that is a friendship that is now being tested here on the border. thailand's military government has been holding a publish forum to hear critics of its plan to boost energy production. >> reporter: taking on thailand's military government these energy reform activists are protesting against the government's plan to hold a round of bidding for oil and gas concession. >> translator: we are here to protect national resources. concessions are not the right answer to reserve our energy.

the government say there's not much left. if there's not much left why would you want to open for concession? >> translator: nowadays people are very aware of the energy. i don't think the government should break the promise they made to the people. people are smarter these days. >> reporter: many of the activists here have protested against the previous government of prime minister yingluck but the current government said it would stick to her plans. instead they want the government to switch to a production system. they say it is more flexible and better for the country. the people here are saying that they want to have a say in a resource that belongs to everybody, and that this isn't actually a protest. since the protests the

administration has delayed the bidding until next month. the prime minister is calling for calm and invited stake holders to work out their differences off of the street and in government house. the forum held on friday has taken the wind out of the sails of the protests. security was tight to prevent further public demonstration at the seat of the government. the energy activists met with officials in a rare public consultation. the prime minister says he hopes the forum creates understanding and it will be the last on the issue. in the u.s. state of arizona is bitter light over land is being played out. on one side is a powerful mining company, and on the other side native americans who consider the site a holy place. rob reynolds reports now from okay flat arizona.
