gulf neighbours. bahrain and kuwait for their support of his country, and accepted that innocent young people may be locked in the prince a matter he urged the interior ministry to look into. >> reporter: president abdul fatah al-sisi insists egypt does not want to invade or attack other countries. but will say he will use armed forces to defend the nation. >> we launched an offensive against targets. these targets were subjected to strict and accurate surveillance, intelligence information was gathered in absolute secrecy and accuracy. >> egypt launched air strikes in libya last week after 21

egyptians were killed there by the islamic state of iraq and levant. people in the eastern city of douma say civilians were killed in the egyptian air strikes. >> there was no military here just families this woman and her family a gentleman. about eight in the neighbourhood. four are seriously injured. ? abdul fatah al-sisi talked about the need for a joint arab military force to tackle the threat of groups like i.s.i.l. they praised the leaders of some stayed. >> our friends in the gulf region should understand that we have or respect appreciation and love. our bilateral relations with our friends in the gulf region of. >> the egyptian president spoke about dissent in his own country since coming to power in june 2013, they are launched a

crackdown on the muslim brotherhood, and supporters. many of these are students. thousands have been in prison. they indicated that some may be released. >> a number of young people have been detained from suppressing their views. i told them i do not deny that some would have been innocent. and in a few day's time we will release the first batch of detainees. >> abdul fatah al-sisi's stage managed address was designed to show after seven months in the job, he's very much in control. critics say he was quick to focus on what he regarded as his government's achievements. but avoided a mention of some other challenges facing his country. >> let's look into this more. we talk to an assistant professor of political signs at long island and a member of the

egyptian rule of law, joining us from new york. thank you for being with us. we saw abdul fatah al-sisi defending the egyptian air strikes. why do you think he needed to defend the military action? >> the military action was not heralded as an achievement. we wanted egypt to pursue diplomatic channels. egypt needed to assert itself in a pact that it had in kuwait to the new military pact that they have come together to fight what they see as foreign forces coming into the libyan region. in doing so ultimately what abdul fatah al-sisi want to do is reassert himself and egypt as a global powerplayer, and make sure that the political situation in libya, who will be coming into power next is part and parcel of a military pact

that benefits the interest. >> egypt has called for an international coalition to strike against libya, thwarted by the u.s. and the u.k. will he get the coalition of sorts from his arab allies and the rest of the gulf states? >> well, it seems that they have this based on informs and tapes released. and also on past two years of military excursions between the four countries, we see that egypt is forging with the military pact with the gulf allies. if we think about the greater implications and what it means, we saw egypt reasserting itself in terms of looking to arms purchases in places like france and a highly publicised list last week. and we see that president abdul

fatah al-sisi is putting himself on the world stage as a military leader. >> look, this speech was not just for international audience and his gulf allies, it's coming ahead of the polls. it was for a domestic audience and spoke of events in the country, and spoke about the shooting of a female activist and the violence at a football stadium. he said that every official would be accountable for their short comings. was this enough to assure critics that he is a fair and just leader? >> well in the past few weeks several reports were released by amnesty international and human rights watch documenting the atrocities committed by the state and its own people. now there are estimates between 200,000 and 40,000 political prisoners in egypt. the crackdown occurring on the

college campuses. human rights conditions are at a low. and this past week we saw a meeting between the foreign minister and u.s. secretary of state john kerry, where the foreign minister said it was further along on the human rights agenda. the reason it was beyond a domestic and international audience is egypt needs to meet the third phase of benchmarks which are parliamentary elections. for the president to say i know that there are incident people that could be imprisoned. we are going to begin to release prisoners, means that the judicial process that these prisoners faced, when they were rounded up prosecuted and sentenced is arbitrary and is highly politicized. it's not just for a domestic but international audience. it's what is the relationship between the executive and the judiciary. where arbitrary cases are handled. >> great to get your insight.

assistant professor political science at long island universitiy. we move on. in libya, fighters loyal to i.s.i.l. claimed responsibility for two attacks on sunday. one targeted the iranian ambassador's home. in tripoli, two bombs went off. no one was hurt because the building was empty. the other was a rocket strike on the eastern airport news out of syria - on the ground government air strikes on aleppo and douma killed and wounded dozens of people. the army has been battling rebels for control of villages near aleppo. dominik kane reports. >> a straight search in the rubble of douma. in the bombed out houses lay children wounded in a government air strike. some have light injuries others are more badly hurt. before the civil war, more than

110,000 people lived in the city. four years of conflict killed thousands and driven many away science like these are commonplace. >> this is the aftermath for a barrel bomb attack. buried in the rebel is an elderly lady. she said she lived here all her life. attacks by rebels and the government intensified north of aleppo. last week rebels regained control of a village, taken and held by government soldiers for one day. some villages say the soldiers rounded up the local people in a school and killed 48 of them. >> at six in the morning we heard heavy gun fire we took the children and ran away. the army surrounded the village.

we asked them to go in this direction. there were 150 men and 37 women. >> for villages north of aleppo they are important to both sides. if the syrian army takes them it would aloup them to is -- allow them to isolate the rebels. to iraq u.s.-led coalition air strikes reportedly killed 63 i.s.i.l. fighters east of mosul. they had controlled the city since june when it made large gains. kurdish forces backed by u.s. air strikes are planning an offensive to retake mosul, iraq's second-largest city. iraq's defense minister said they are taking all forces to minimise casualties. >> translation: the fight in mosul, fallujah and ramadi is a battle in cities.

there are civilians, and accuracy and patience laying down plans and preparing for the battle is important. we are working with utmost accuracy, and military operations you cannot set the zero hour until all preparations have been completed. yemen's president said the houthi take over the power is illegitimate. abd-rabbu mansour hadi made his first appearance fleeing to aden, where he hopes to resume his duty. we have this report from there. >> this is the first time the president has been scene since his escape from sanaa. as shown on state-owned tvs, holding and meeting with commanders and governments in the south. the initial statement left many questions unanswered. importantly on whether he wants to resign from office. after the meeting the government

of aden said... >> >> translation: the president abd-rabbu mansour hadi insists he'll carry out his duties as he has an obligation towards the citizens and voters to implement the transitional phase and the outcome of the dialogue. >> the new element is the call for the government ministers to move to aden. implying that it will be a de facto capital of yemen. supporters are asking if he has withdrawn his resignation. his escape from house arrest dealt a blow to the houthis, who agreed with their partners. now talks are stalled. >> translation: we are talking about a president who is not legitimate counting on outsiders, foreigners, a president refusing to deal with the southerners and the southern secessionist movement. i don't understand what he is trying to accomplish by fleeing

to the south, asking them for help. he has pointed to a real issue in the south. historically he's seen as a southerner failing to do anything for the south. he may need to work hard to win back the hearts and minds of southerners. the escape from house arrest of abd-rabbu mansour hadi was received with enthusiasm. his supporters took to the streets in several areas, and many parties gave allegiance to him. there's an element of frustration among supporters because messages are ambiguous and they need to show results iran and the united states have held their highest level meeting in more than 30 jeers to discuss the tehran nuclear programme. the u.s. secretary of state and iran's foreign minister met on

the sidelines of the summit. they were joined by fecials. john kerry warned that gaps remain ahead of a march dead line. iran's president hassan rouhani is determined to reach an agreement. >> translation: it is not possible for a country to develop in isolation. no one can isolate us. without insight we are likely to isolate ourselves. if we are united and move ahead wisely no power can isolate us. we have our position in the world. >> more coming up including thousands gathered to remember the maidan protest in kiev as a blast kills two. and march in kharkiv. plus... >> i'm in an indian village with free wi-fi and other amenities. coming up, how the village set itself apart. >> and real madrid capitalized.

robin with that story and the rest of the sport in half an hour. the syrian government criticized a turkish operation inside the territory. hundreds of soldiers were sent to remove an ottoman tomb given to turkey. damascus said it was notified, but had not provided permission. bernard smith reports from istanbul under the cover of the night, the turkish military crossed the border into syria. moving through territory controlled by i.s.i.l. they were heading 30km to a piece of soil the size of a football pitch the size of an ottoman shrine. the tomb was left under turkish control when the french drew the borders of modern syria.

suleyman was the grandfather of the first ottoman empire. citing fighting the kurdish government decided to evacuate 40 or so troops stationed at the shrine. turkish troops entered with 100 vehicles. 39 tanks, 59 armoured vehicles and 572 soldiers. 32-20, our troops reached the out post. a religious ceremony was held. >> the turkish flag was planted at a new location where the remains will be reburied. it's still in syria. but only just. the spot is up against the border, within site of the military. by dawn the operation was over. the government in ankara said it was done without coordination of the syrian kurds, who control

the border nor was the syrian government in damascus involved. the turkish government has no appetite to involve its military in the war in syria. it may have needed to pull the troops out to avoid the risk that i.s.i.l. attack them forcing turkey's hand. it comes as turkey and the u.s. agree to train free syrian army here the first time turkey agreed to take a role in the battle against i.s.i.l. well let's take a closer look at relations between turkey and its neighbour syria. turkey has been opposed to the bashar al-assad regime since the civil war started four years ago. it has condemned the crackdown. ankara trained the fighters from the free syrian army. turkey is not part of a u.s.-led military coalition. in september the turkish parliament passed a motion

authorising action against i.s.i.l. this week turkey announced it will train moderate syrian fighters to fight i.s.i.l. and the bashar al-assad regime. ankara has been criticized for being lax on i.s.i.l. troops crossing the border into syria our guest is the professor of international relations at the university. and joins us via skype from washington. thank you for being with us. if you could start off by explaining the point of this military operation. was there more to just retrieving the remains of suleyman and escorting the soldiers out of syria. >> the turk your soldiers were hostages sounded by i.s.i.s. so essentially with them

becoming more erratic, at times i think the turks decided they could no longer afford to take the risk of keeping the soldiers out there in - deep inside syrian territory away from the turkish border. they'll be looking, they should have done this a long time ago, and in many ways i think the time has come here. >> let me stop you there. i find the timing interesting here now. as you say, turkey acted to prevent i.s.i.l. fighters from desecrating the tomb. syria's president called it an act of aggression. we know that turkey has been pushing for bashar al-assad to be toppled. what are the implications for the regional neighbours? >> first of all, bashar al-assad is in no position to do anything to turkey anyway. so bashar al-assad is - the civil war is essentially controlling not much of - not

all of the territory. what the regime says at this stage is irrelevant. i want to say one think. it's not just the desecration of the tomb but there were 38 soldiers protecting the hostages, that is important. the tomb itself - people don't realise it the tomb was relocated to where it is now, from another location. it was in the 1970s. she was not in its original location to begin with. income, it was only symbolling. it was not - no knowledge for is to be there. >> i want to turn the conversation back to the largest picture. the turkish troops entered syria through kobane. we know they were secured by the kurdish troops by i.s.i.l. fighters. are we seeing turkey and the

kurds putting the historic differences aside and uniting against a common enemy. >> i don't think the turks have to go to kobane because that was the only major point of entry. where they could bring all the equipment through, and they had to make a deal with the kurds, which in the past they have pictures of being terrorists and were opposed to american support for the syrian kurds which happened anyway at the time of the - when the fighting in kobane started between the kurds and i.s.i.s. that said i would say that this is a temporary - they are opposed to what the kurds are trying to do which is to create autonomous region in morne syria. so, yes, i think the kurds were smart, because it's only receiving browny points for negotiations. the far more important issue

here is did they do this because they are coming under american pressure to open up the air force base. as you said in the piece before this interview, it is not part of the coalition, and they have resisted being part of the coalition, because they want bashar al-assad to be the primary aim of the coalition, and not i.s.i.s. united states and turkey agree on this issue. that said i think what i.s.i.s. has been doing, they are coming under pressure to open up the air force base, if they do that the soldiers would be in great danger. we'll have to see what the developments are. thank you for being with us. professor of international relations. ukraine's military says it is withdrawing heavy weapons from the front line as part of a peace deal. the minsk agreement called for a

ceasefire. both sides have to pull back large guns and rockets from 25-70km from the conflict line. this will create a buffer zone up to 140km wide the main element of the minsk deal. there has been a prisoner swap. a separatist official says 130 ukranian troops and 52 rebels were exchanged. fighting has seized in many areas since the ceasefire came in effect. there has been reports of explosions in the rebel held city of donetsk, and an attempt to storm positions near the port city which is under government control. now, meanwhile two people have been killed in an explosion at a peace rally in the eastern city of carr active. the blast -- kharkiv. the blast occurred as thousands took place in a march to commemorate protests and more than 100 were killed. from the ukranian capital jonah

hull reports. in the eastern city of kharkiv not far from the conflict zone people gathered for a peace march. then a bomb blast. more lives lost. authorities are treating it as an act of terrorism, instructed by russia some fear the war in the east may spread further into the country. in kiev another march, remembering the street protests a year ago, and their victims. president petro porashenko was joined at the head of the march by some european leaders and other lower level guests. it was not the turn out he may have hoped for after promising the crowds that presidents and prime ministers would taped, that the doors of the european union is wide open to ukraine, and that there will be victory in the east. president petro porashenko is

under pressure. domestically the economy and huge losses in the east demand a response. they are expected to holdle line in a shaky ceasefire despite transgressions by the other side. >> for now many believe the president is doing all he can. >> i think he does his best. 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 nose what to do -- knows what to do let them do themselves. >> something more could be done. he's done his best in which our country is under different circumstances, you can do this do that. history has no if. >> the u.s. ambassador agreed that there is no real idea what will happen if the ceasefire fails. >> there's no reason why russia should feel threatened by a ukraine which is moving towards

europe which is developing higher standards of democracy, transparency and governments. >> there is talk of arming ukraine against russian agent. >> it's the russian government which is engaged in this extraordinary campaign of aggression. >> the president showed the guests the captured armour which the government says is evidence of russian aggression on ukranian soil. >> he cannot show the international community or his own people. a way out of ukraine's problems to nigeria, where witnesses to a suicide attack in the north-east say the bomber could be as young as seven. five died in the attack in a market. another 19 others were injured. no one has claimed responsibility. it's the latest in a string of child suicide bombers in nigeria. previous attacks have been blamed on the armed group boko

haram. >> meanwhile a task force is set to start a ground and air offensive against boko haram next month. niger, chad and cameroon are joining forces to stop the armed group. initiative has been processed by the french foreign minister. while on a tour of west african countries he said that they have the complete support of france. members of the al qaeda linked group al-shabab called for attacks on shopping mauls in the united states -- shopping malls in the united states canada and europe. the somali based group called on muslims to attack the west including the fifth largest mall the mall of america, minnesota, and the largest in london. in september 2013 members of the group attacked the west gate mall in the kenyan capital of nairobi. more than 60 people were killed. still to come on the programme.

6,000 strong, this is her take on the issue. >> we need the oscars to highlight the smaller films and i thing that's probably why you see most of them nominated, whereas the blockbusters have a big machine behind them. they don't need any help. for those that don't get a nomination, you can look on the bright side. like the neighbours of the hit lego movie. >> we were too honest in the movie. they couldn't take our message something like that. >> this ceremony is watched worldwide. it is hugely influential. it's clearly doing something right, even if the makers of those don't get a look in think otherwise. we'll keep you updated on the winners as they are announced. the greek government is racing to finalise a list of
