everything on your list. >> thank you. >> welcome to the news our from al jazeera from our headquarters in doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes, another isil attack on libyan soil, fighters claiming loyalties to the armed group target the iranian ambassador's residence in tripoli. >> turkey goes into syria and air i can't said there will be repercussions. >> a march in kharkiv with a

bomb attack. >> in hollywood the question asked by some, who do these awards really represent? >> isil fighters in libya claimed responsibility for an attack on the iranian ambassador's residence in tripoli, targeting the building with homemade bombs. let's go live to neighboring tunisia. this building's been empty. explain the significance of this attack for us. >> i think the significance is much more symbolic than anything else. the claim of responsibility came from several of these on line accounts that usually do speak in the name of isil or its affiliates. now, the main message here is

that we are underground and we are present in tripoli. there have been no casualties. the damage done to the buildings from the pictures i have seen is quite minimal but the message is resonate is that isil is there, and it's spreading at least it's showing that it's greeing geographically around the country. >> already. how are international efforts to resolve the political crisis there in libya going right now? >> well, the efforts have been on going these are the u.n. led mediation efforts between all parties. a meeting was scheduled to start on monday in morocco. that has been postponed until thursday, as we understand it, but it has nothing to it with political discord as much as that after the triple bombing in the eastern town that killed 45 people the speaker of the

parliament of the u.n. recognized-government in tobruk declared a seven day of mourning and asked the u.n. envoy to postpone talks until next thursday. that said, they are arriving at this time maybe with a wider gap than the past meeting because there has been a different reaction to the egyptian airstrikes. the government in tobruk, the u.n. recognized one backing those airstrikes, while the one in tripoli the court appointed government being voluntary vocal in condemning those airstrikes. >> the trial of muammar gaddafi's sons and 33 of his former officials has resumed the defendants including the former spy chief and the former prime minister, they are back in court over alleged war crimes

committed during the 2011 jump rising. there are two governments at the moment in libya claiming legitimacy. under who jurisdiction is this trial being held? >> it's being held under the jurisdiction of a specially appointed court, which is operating independently from both governments. according to observers, gnarl observers attending the various hearings, the standards are quite up to international standards. today was yet another hearing. you named two of the most famous defendants there. another two that are quite famous are the two sons of gadhafi. they have not intended. one is held and in the past appeared by video link. this time, he was not allowed to appear stating security reasons, but it has also to do a lot with the deteriorating

relationships between the brigades that are in control of tripoli. the other son did not appear, know reasons given for that. among the rest of the defendants is also the former foreign minister, some very close friends of gadhafi who had been with him throughout 40 years of reign in libya. accountability and transitional vasts has been one of the main demands of the youth who had joined the armed uprising. many of them, just after the fighting was over and gadhafi was called, they were asked are you going to give back your weapons and go back to civilian life, they said no, we won't until we make sure justice is being done in this country. certainly it is seen as a move needed to bring the country ahead. some people say it could pacify a little bit even though four years later, there are so many other factors at play on the

ground like isil and all its allies. >> thank you very much indeed from tunisia. >> syria described a turkish military operation inside sir yes as a flagrantgression. hundreds of turkish soldiers were sent to move a too many, which was given to turkey in 1921. damascus says it was informed but did not give permission and warns that there will be consequence. bernard smith reports from istanbul. >> under the cover of night the turkish military crossed into syria, moving through territory controlled by isil, they were heading more than 30 kilometers to a piece of turkish soil, the size of a football pitch that is a shrine. the too many was left under turkish control when the french drew the border was modern syria in 1921. he was the grandfather of the first emperor. now, citing increased fighting

in the area between isil and the kurds, the turkish government decided to evacuate 40 or so troops stationed at the shrine. >> turkish troops entered syria with 100 vehicles. 39 tanks and 57 armored vehicles and 572 soldiers. around 22:30g.m.t. troops reached the outpost. they completed their mission quickly and a religious ceremony was held for moving the remains. >> simultaneously, the turkish flag was planted in a new location where the remains will be buried. it's symbolically still in syria, but only just. the spot is up against the border within sight of the turkish military. by dawn, the operation was over. it was said to be done without coordination of the syrian kurds, nor was the syrian government in damascus involved.

the turkish government has no appetite to involve its military in the war in air i can't so it might have needed to pull its troops out from the shrine to avoid the risk that isil attack them, so forcing turkey's hand. it comes as turkey and the u.s. agree to train free syrian army fighters here, the first time turkey has agreed to take such an overt role in the stand against isil. >> turkey's relations with syria, it's been opposed to the bashar al assad regime since the civil war began four years ago. it's condemned syria's crackdown on protestors since 2011. ankara has trained fighters from the free syrian army on its soil. turkey is not part of the u.s. led coalition against isil but in september its parliament authorized action against isil. turkey announced it will help to

train moderate requireian fighters to fight isil and the bashar al assad regime. let's go to chase winter, a political affairs analyst on turkey joining us live from washington d.c. syria calls the turkish operation an act of flagrant aggression. it says that there will be consequences. is syria in a position to respond? what form might that response take? >> well, i think it's important to point out this isn't the first time turkey has gone into either pull out troops or reinforce troops. in this area of control the syrian government doesn't have much control in the area, and along the border to the village in the north near the syrian border, that's largely controlled by the ypg the

syrian kurds. i don't think that the syrian kurds themselves are going to try to create any problems with turkey. >> do you suspected chase, that turkey's motives and objectives extend beyond just protecting this too many and its contents. >> there's tune speculation in the past. >> they're trying to cut their losses. the tomb is surrounded and a light. it's just a matter of time. it's a historical footnote that at this point they need to get rid of. ultimately, i think this will more have repercussions in turkey, because it's ultimately sovereign territory and the government will be under territory, because they are withdrawing from sovereign turkish territory. >> if syria were to attack turkey would nato feel compelled to get involved to

defend a member state? what would the ram if i cases be? >> nato has said multiple times that if turkey is attacked, and for that matter, any country article five the collective defense clause would kick in, so i mean, i don't -- i wouldn't question that now. if you're referring to the tomb, i think that the bigger threat there was not from assad attacking it, but isis or some other rebel groups trying to attack it, and by pulling away from the tomb, that has now reduced the champions of that happening. >> if nato did get involved, say syria somehow attacked turkey in response, it says there will be consequences, that would mean dragging nato into defending that turkish border, which is what turkey wants isn't it? >> well, you know, turkey obviously wants a more aggressive stance in turkey, or

in syria but i think at this point, they're getting some of the things they want, the train and equip program is starting, and so if you're asking if nato is going to uphold the article five collective defense clause, i mean absolutely, i think they would, without hesitation. is turkey trying to drag nato into the war? i think that's something that remains to be seen. there's a lot of speculation around that, but at this point, i don't really see that happening. >> good to talk to you many thanks. >> thank you. >> government airstrikes inside syria have killed and wounded dozens in the cities of aleppo and duha. north of aleppo, there is fighting for control of several villages. soldiers carried out a mass killing in one. we have a report. >> a desperate search in the rubble of duma.

in these bombed-out houses, lie children wounded in a government air strike. some have light injuries, others more badly hurt. before the civil war, more than 110,000 people lived in this city. four years of conflict have killed thousands and driven many away. scenes like these have become commonplace. this is the aftermath of a barrel bomb attack in aleppo. buried in this rubble is an elderly lady. she says she's lived here all her life. attacks by both rebels and the government have in stepsified north of aleppo. last week rebels regained control of a village that had been taken and held by government soldiers for just one day. some villagers say the soldiers rounded up local people in a school and killed 48 of them.

>> at 6:00 in the morning, we had heavy gunfire in the village, so we took our children and run away, but the army was surrounding the village. they asked us to go in this direction, we did but then we met other soldiers. we were 250 men and 37 women. they took us to the school. >> the villages to the west of strategically important to both sides, but if the syrian army takes them, it would allow them further to isolate the rebels in aleppo itself. dominic cain, al jazeera. >> in iraq, u.s. led airstrikes have reportedly killed 56 isil fighters. isil controlled the city when it made large gains across iraq. kurdish forces plan an offensive to retake mosul, which is iraq's second largest city. iraq's defense minister said his forces are taking all measures to avoid civilian casualties as

they prepare to fight isil in urban areas. >> the fight in mosul fallujah and are ramadi will be a battle i have not cities. preparing prerequisites of the battle is very important. we are working now with the utmost accuracy. in military operations, you cannot set the zero hour until all preparations have been completed. >> plenty more still to come here on the news hour, including, visiting the small indian community embracing new technology and transforming the lives of its citizens. >> i'm in the heart of colombia's rain forest, where conservationists are fighting to preserve for future generations. >> the cricket world cup, we will have the details on that in sport.

ukraine's military is start to go withdraw heavy weapons from the front line, in keeping with the peace deal signed last week. the minsk agreement called for an immediate and full bilateral ceasefire. both sides have to pull back large guns and rockets from 25 to 70 kilometers from the conflict line, create ago buffer zone up to 140 kilometers wide which is the main element of that minsk deal. there's also been a prisoner swap in keeping with the deal. 130 ukrainian troops and 52 rebels were exchanged, according to a separatist official. fight has gone eased in many areas since the ceasefire came into effect, but there have been reports of explosions in the rebel held city of cesarien and reports of an attempt to storm positions in a village near the port city of mariupol.

>> it's been a year since an uprising in the ukrainian capitol that ousted president yanukovych. remembering the maidan protest today, east ukraine still beset by violence. what more can you tell us? >> >> yes, that's right, as well as the violence you mentioned there in the conflict zone in the east just outside the conflict zone, a bomb blast during the afternoon at a peace marsh in kharkiv where two were killed, many others injured. the authorities talk of a counter terrorism operation in which there have been a number of people detained. people may well now wonder if this conflict has the potential to spread, even as you say, they gather to remember the events of a year ago events that led many to hope for a freer and more democratic country itch is now effectively at war with russia.

>> three days of anniversary events for last winter's protest have been marked not by celebrations but what was achieved in ukraine but by a somber remembrance of lives lost. there were more lives lost on sunday. a bomb exploded in the eastern city of kharkiv, close to the conflict zone during a march for peace. ukrainian authorities are treating it as an act of terrorism. in kiev, president poroshenko was joined at the head of a march by some european leaders and other low level guests. it wasn't the turnout he may have hoped for after promising the crowds on friday that presidents and prime ministers would attended. he also promised that the doors of the european union remained wide-open to ukraine and that there would be victory in the

east. president poroshenko is under immense pressure. domestically, the state of the economy and huge losses in the east demand a response. internationally, he's expected to hold the line in a shaky ceasefire, despite repeated transgressions by the other side. >> for now many believe the president is doing all he can. >> i think he does his best, and of course, there are different ideas what he could do better, but i wish him good luck, because it's very difficult situation, and if somebody knows what else, let them go and do themselves. >> something more could be done, but he's done his best in the circumstances in which our country is under different circumstances, you can do this, you can do that, and history has no if. >> the u.s. ambassador agreed that there is no real idea what will happen if the ceasefire fails. >> there is no reason why russia

should feel threatened by a ukraine which is moving toward europe which is developing higher standards of democracy transparency in governments. >> and yet there is talk in your country of arming ukraine against russia. >> well, it's the russian government engaged in this extraordinary campaign of aggression. >> the president showed his guests the captured armor and artillery that the government says is material evidence of russian aggression on ukrainian soil. what he can not show the international community or his own people i guess a way out of ukraine's problems. >> one of the key problems that ukraine faces is an economy on the verge of collapse with a currency in free-fall and living standards going down with it. i'm joined by the economy minister. thanks so much for joining us. the economy wasn't in great shape before the fighting.

how much of a toll has this conflict in the east taken? >> absolutely. the war has taken a massive toll on the economy, a big part of the territory lost, about 20% of the economy was based in the eastern provinces of ukraine and it was a very industrialized area with lots of ethics revenue from exports and that was part of the reason ukrainian economy fell 6.9% last year and is expected to drop 5.5% this year, but we will do everything it takes for the new government to pass on reforms so that we're back on the growth path in 2016. >> pretty dire statistics, corruption was a cancer eating this country from within is with one of your predecessors told me. >> for 25 years, little has been done and ukraine has been at the bottom of the least corrupted

countries in europe, but now we have got rid of the middle man. we have started a bureau of anti corruption with the head to be appointed soon. a businessman's offers has been set up, and an economy we plan to deal with corruption doing deregulation cutting the red tape and bureaucracy. we pass add few important laws when it comes to deregulation. >> you talked about reform there. your government is stuck because you need foreign investments, they won't come until there are reforms yet it's difficult to make reforms at a time effectively of war. >> i think we have no way out. time is of essence here. the new government, the new parliament everyone is keen to do reforms as quickly as possible. most people in the government have never been in public

administration. we come from business. they are all keen to pass reforce quickly. we have a clear path of reforms written in the i.m.f. memorandum. every minister will do at least two very large reforms every year of the four year i.m.f. program. we are ready for reforms and ready to work with the new parliament. >> thanks so much for your time, the economy minister of ukraine there in a government that insists it's doing what it can in a time of crisis. >> many thanks, live from kiev. >> yemen's president adou rabbo mansour hadi has appeared on television in aden for the first time since arriving in the port city saturday. he held meetings with security officials. hadi's supporters wanted to clarify his position on the houthi takeover and his legitimacy as president.

>> president adou rabbo mansour hadi insists that he will continue to carry out his political duties, because has he an obligation towards the citizens and the voters in order to implement a transitional phase, and the outcome of the national dialogue. this is the important issue that he's concerned with, because he always reiterated that the time has come to deal with the central government that struggles because of the differences of the various parties. it is always about one thing sanna and the neglect of all the other cities in the other districts. he will call for the government to convene in aden with any of the ministers who can attend until the house arrest imposed on the prime minister will be lifted. >> witnesses to a suicide talk in northeastern nigeria see the female bomber could be as young as seven. five people died in the attack on a market. another 19 others were injured. no one's yet claimed

responsibility, but blame is likely to fall on the armed group boko haram. >> at least 48 people are dead after a passenger ferry capsized in bangladesh. it's believed the vessel hit a cargo broke on the river about 40 kilometers northwest of dhaka. fifty were rescued. rescuers are still searching for survivors. it is thought 140 people were onboard. >> a small indian village has undergone a massive transformation over the past eight years. it now that fully paved roads water purifying plants and wi-fi. it's down to a local engineer, saying the village is setting an example for the rest of the country. al jazeera has been there to find out more. >> >> at first glance, it looks like any other village in india but that changes if you look and listen closely.

>> this engineer is responsible for the high tech amenities in the village, including security cameras and free public wi-fi. growing up in this village he remembers wading through mud to get to school. today, it's very different. >> we have paved roads and we are supply, as well as high tech amenities and apps so parents can watch their kids at school. >> the changes here are focused on helping people. the free public wi-fi has been popular with villagers who surf the web and can now get work done with a few taps of the screen. >> wi-fi has made a real difference. i don't have to travel all the way to the city to fill out government forms. i can do that sitting here. >> the process has been strategic, start building proper roads then this water

purification plant which sells 20-liters of water for 6 cents. a public address system in forms people of public news and local announcements. >> avoid from free public wi-fi and cctv cameras people can educate themselves. it's the use of existing government funding and foresight to use it which separates this village from most others in the country. that contrast is clear in the nearby village where the roads are crumbling and there's little sanitation let alone things such as wi-fi or a public camera. this sub district official says other village in the area are slowly learning from the example. he credits the village's forward thinking to its leaders. >> the villages nearby are headed by all the men who aren't as aware or motivated to learn about government programs. these guys are young active, willing to take advice. no wonder they've progressed.

>> the next step is to continue its development with plans to improve the look of the village and build public parks demonstrating the journey of one village as it blends the traditional with the modern. >> we're approaching the midway point on this news hour. still to come, lawyers for the mayor of caracas venezuela promise to fight back against his arrest on conspiracy charges. >> a lab in a suitcase powered by the sun. we look at the new tool used in senegal to stop ebola. >> as australia cohosts the cricket world cup we find how the sport is help ago group of asylum seekers in that country.

i thought the charges against the former president were dropped early they are month. >> because of people protesting. >> the last time the former president was arrested, he was reds within 24 hours or so. how do you think this is going to play out over the next day or so? >> i don't think that maybe --

it will be that easy this time. >> we're going to leave it there. >> ebola cases in west africa are declining but the outbreak isn't over, and detecting cases early is crucial. last week, the w.h.o. approved a test. design activities are developing other diagnostic tools to improve early detection. >> in the fight against ebola time plays a crucial role. the longer it takes to detect the virus the more likely it will spread and kill. currently it takes 12-24 hours to find out if someone is infected with the virus. >> there is no vaccine or treatment against ebola so detecting the virus and isolating the patient as early as possible is key to controlling the epidemic.

>> long before this outbreak, a doctor joint forces with scientists to develop diagnostic kits. together they designed a solar powered diagnostic unit that works in 15 minutes. it's a lab in a suitcase that can work anywhere without electricity. >> with the mobile kit, we can test directly in the community and minimize patient exposure to the virus in medical facilities, because that continues to be where the virus propagates. >> the kits detect 30 pathogens and tack would another deadly epidemic affecting the middle east. the mrsa virus continues to spread. the kit was developed to test infections. it's now used in guinea to tackle ebola where the virus has killed more than 2,000 people. testing is dangerous and involves manipulating blood and

saliva. senegal has a high level bio con at the same time facility. there is analyzation here. >> there are only a handful of labs like this in africa and this is the closest to the outbreak. researchers here continue to study the virus to try to find better ways to diagnose and fight ebola. >> on friday, the world holt organization finally approved the use of another 15 minute diagnostic kit. scientists here want their kit to be approved, too. they believe theirs is more accurate. it detects the genetic makeup of the virus. the outbreak has slowed, but still is not under control. there's been a lot of focus on finding a vaccine but far less on way to say detect the virus. the team believes early detection will save time and save lives.

>> lawyers representing the mayor are caracas will fight to have conspiracy charges against him dropped. a major opposition figure in venezuela is accused of plotting coup to overthrow the government. he said accusations are totally unfounded. tom ackermann has the latest. >> the caracas mayor was arrested by intelligence police dressed in camouflage. he has been indicted for conspiracy to plot violence. he was transferred pending trial to a military prison, the same place another opposition leader has been held for the past year, reportedly in solitary confinement. state run television said the conspiracy included an assassination attempt on maduro. it says he co-signed plans for a transitional government to replace the venezuelan president. >> i will never give in to the enemy, and i will fight however i can against the traitors and the oligarchy. >> at shortages of basic

commodities force venezuelans to cue outside grocery stores, the government blames the opposition and u.s. for what it calls an economic war to destabilize the country. >> i am saying that they are the ones imposing the rationing and restrictions, which are strangling our people, so we must in the first place close ranks for our homeland and the revolution. >> this is a continued effort ongoing. i feel like we talk about these incidents once a week at least of the venezuelan government to try to distract attention from the countries economic and political problems, and focus and try to distract and make these false accusations. >> recent polls show public approval rating for the president has fallen to 20%. he said he would provide evidence to proof right wing polluters in plaid died, and neighboring colombia have joined in the son spiers. that programmed the spanish

president to issue a denial. he called for the opposition to be respected and for do pros to be applied. venezuelan officials must stop the events that are leading to spiraling of polarization in their country. >> another isil attack in libya. it was the iranian ambassadors residence in the capitol tripoli that was attacked. it's been empty for three years since 2012. it's the significance though, of this attack, isn't it, that's important here? >> absolutely. it's a huge symbolic target for the so-called islamic state.

you might say why would you attack an empty house for the iranian ambassador? remember the sunni-shia divide in the muslim world. the islamic state depicts itself as the defender of the sunni communities. iran is seen as the vanguard. it's spreading the shiite faith and ideology and political penetration of the arab-sunni world, where in iraq supporting the shia dominated government, in syria supporting the syrian president bashar al assad, in yemen, supporting the houthi group, so all in all this is really for the rank and file. this is for the social base. what isis is trying to say, we are the vanguard of the sunni community, we are attacking iran iran is supporting the sectarian based regimes in the heart of the sunni arab world.

>> the fact that the group was able to carry out yet another attack in libya does that show that its influence is growing that in country? >> again for your own viewers i would cite iraq and syria. isis or the so-called islamic state has only basis in libya so they control two major cities durna and sirte. this is the only base that abu bakr al-baghdadi controls. we have reports that isis inspired groups are blend, local communities, in particular with certain tribes in sirte. you have 400 skilled fighters who have returned from syria and iraq, who have fought with the scout islamic state in iraq and

syria. libya is an important base for isis and obviously, it's been trying to fill the security void, because as you know, libya is fracturing along ethnic reekennal tribal ideological lines and what we know about these groups, in particular isis, they are social parasites. they are basically nourished in conflict zones isis basically finds home now in libya and yemen and other places, as well, where security breaks down. >> always good to talk to you. many thanks. >> just ahead on the sport here on the news hour, formula world one champion is airlifted to o after a high speed crash in testing. we will have the details in a few moments.

now in order to protect that fragile link, link be the northern part of colombia to the central southern part of colombia. >> in other parts of the country, massive farming illegal mining and new infrastructure are getting in the way, threatening the cats' very existence. >> cameras have been installed to learn the callets' habits and decide if think intervention is needed. on this day, the camera caught birds, buffaloes and farmers passing by. then at night, two jaguars. >> we have pilot projects in areas where jaguars might attack cattle or chicken and are then killed by ranchers. we help them build fences and implement other strategies and do environmental education. people fear jaguars, but it's more a psychological fear than a

reality. >> unlike other great cats on the verge of extinction, jaguars have a real chance to thrive for years to come, but only if crucial land pathways in protected areas are preserved. al jazeera colombia. >> time now for sport. >> we start in the cricket world cup where india has won the battle of the big guns, beating south africa. india won the toss. >> a 68 run partnership. 177 runs, india winning by 130. >> ve link narrowly escaped upset by afghanistan.
