>> ray suarez hosts "inside story". weeknights at 11:30 eastern. only on al jazeera america. >> this is al jazeera. >> hello, welcome to another newshour from al jazeera i'm adrian finnegan. coming up in the next 60 minutes. the spy cables. what the category thinks of iran's nuclear program. egypt's interior minister is apparently caught on tape how to crack town on protesters. >> an explosion in yemen's capital as the president calls for talks to unite the company.

>> this oscar -- >> eddy redmain wins oscar for the theory of everything. but we begin with the first in our series of exclusive stories based on a leak of hundreds of intelligence documents, a secret cable reveals that israel's spy agency is working to not develop nuclear weapons. just after benjamin netanyahu warned the u.n. that iran would be able to build a bomb within a year. clayton fisher reports. he. >> this is a bomb. this is a fuse. >> it's now notorious . the moment israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu warned the united nations of a

nuclear bomb. the image was simplistic and so was the message. >> by next spring, at much at next summer at current rates they will finish the medium enrichments and move on to the final phase. >> one month after the speech, israelis sent a different message. >> iran at this stage is not performing the activity necessary to produce weapons. >> its own warning is for the future. >> reducing the time required to produce weapons from the time instruction is actually given. >> the masad chief maer degan hinted at a disagreement, in the

spy cables, massad said iran had a level of enrichment close to 20% instead iran got rid of it as part of the nuclear negotiations. begs the question: where did he get this information? clayton swisher, al jazeera. >> and the director of al jazeera's investigative unit is with us in the studio. that cable came a month after netanyahu made that announcement at the united nations. nonetheless, he must have had some inkling about what massad were thinking. >> it's a contentious visit he's going to have in washington d.c. before the u.s. congress. and one would have to think after reading massad's top

secret assessment on iran's nuclear capabilities if prime minister netanyahu was ready to fudge the truth in front of the entire world united nations general assembly, is he going to characterize it differently in front of the u.s. congress? >> will we be able to see what massad was saying? >> in general the cables came to us through a communications leak. we don't disclose those methods but this is the first time i'd ever seen to my knowledge other journalists had seen actual massad documents let alone top secret. that level of classification is extremely limited in its distribution. there are a variety of other intelligence services in thistrophy, more than a few dozen, their correspondence was piled into this digital leak

along with south african security agency, the largest south africa has faced to have this daylight. >> i know we will reveal the contents of the leaked documents over the next coming hours and days aj plus our digital platform but give us a taste of what else we can expect to be revealed by this remarkabletrophy of papers. of --trophy of -- trove of papers. >> the continent of africa is the new arena of great gain between powerful countries trying to vie over -- >> in what way ? what do you mean? >> they work spy and counterspy to one-up one another to insist

that the south africa e-south african government surveil this muslim organization or that pro-palestinian organization or that knowing ngo or that ngo. in public they say we want rule of law human rights freedom of press but in private under the table they're asking for some very undemocratic things and you'll see that in these operational cables. >> what about the repercussions much a leak like this? one thinks of what happened to edward snowden and when his material was leaked. what do we expect to happen after putting is all of this stuff out there? >> well, suffice it to say that after edward snowden one would have to be a fool to go anywhere near revealing their name unless they want to find themselves living in a flat with another country, with the entire world wanting to arrest them. suffice it to say it's going to

be an awkward day at the office at the south african security agency. >> looking at what else will be revealed by the spy papers deshes --many thanks indeed, the spy cables rather. you'll see the spy cables, aljazeera.com/spycables. and follow it on twitter too with a hashtag spy cables. al jazeera has received what appears to be a copy of a meeting, mohamed ibrahim using everything from water cannon to life rounds. ibrahim is heard to say there will never be another revolution without the backing of the police and the military.

he goes on to describe ways to shoot protesters without turning them into martyrs the meeting is believed to have taken place in november 2013. let's talk to jerald benin jockey usjoining us on skype. the skype line however has frozen. we'll come back to him and that story in the next few minutes. no -- yep we're going to move on. we'll come back in a few minutes. there's been a blast in the yemen capital sanaa. the can explosion happened in the north of the capital in a houthi stronghold. protests taking place today in ta'izz. the president has called for talks to unite the country. mohamed vall is there. what more do we know about the explosion in the capital?

>> it was according to neighbors a huge explosion that rocked the houses nearby. but when they went there they found it was not actually a car bomb. it was an explosive device targeting a houthi activist who is actually a medical doctor. he's not a high ranking member of the houthi movement and his name is mohamed al veli. the explosion just happened a couple of hours ago in the northern part of sanaa. it's snot unusual to see these type of actions we have seen in the past few months al qaeda targeting the houthis but this is a little bit different. it happened not far from the military academy in sanaa and preliminary reports were believing that the academy itself was targeted. but this is as much as we have and we know that there were no

casualties in this block. >> this after the president of course was only released from house arrest in sanaa. at the weekend he is now there in aden, but has been calling for talks to unite the country today. >> he is calling for talks to be moved to aden but the houthis have refused that. we understand the talks have been stalled after the news of hadi's escape and rival in aden. the u.n. has not yet given -- the u.n. which is supervising these talks have not given a clear and strong response with regard to what happened. people were expecting jamal ben omar to come here to see mr. hadi but that hasn't happened. at the time, hadi is meeting with top security officials in the south with groafnls and it seems that hegovernors in thispart

of the country. there are talks in yemen and in sanaa itself supporting hadi and there is also -- there are calls from the gcc today a statement that for the first time support from the outside the gcc has said that the yes ma'amis have toyes,yemenis have torally behind hadi. they have tried to force the government which last resigned to return to their posts most of them have refused. those who have refused have been threatened by the houthis to be taken to court and to be accused as traitors. that means the houthis are resorting to tough action, in a kind of reaction to what's happened. it is very, very clear that they are losing some of the momentum

that they had before hadi's escape to aden. >> mohamed, many thanks, mohamed val lirvetionl in aden. more than 100,000 employees of the department of homeland security will be cut unless the congress funds the agency. allen fisher, give us some background. >> remember that barack obama took some executive action to impose what he said was a halt to the end of the deportation of some people in the country illegally. now just so happens the department of hoamsdz budget is homeland security is up for refunding. but the legislature says we want to discuss how this is refunded. if after friday there is no approval of the budget of

department of finance homeland security about 30,000 employees will be told to stay home, won't get paid, but those who are not at work won't get paid so they've got to go to work so we're talking about people like the being transportation security administration, we're talking about budgets all will have to work without pay. barack obama has been meeting the national governors association at the white house in the last couple of hours. he said look to continue to delay paying these people, to delay this bill is just crazy. >> unless congress acts one week from now more than 100 100,000 dhs employees will show up to work without getting paid. they all worked in your states. these are folks who if they don't have a paycheck are not going to be able to spend that money in your states. it will have a direct impact on your economy. and it will have a direct impact

on america's national security. >> this allen cumming al shabaab just made athreats to attack malls including in the u.s. >> homeland security will still go about their job still do what they need to do. the only problem is as they're out there doing it they won't get paid. they are considered important employees as far as homeland security is concerned. yes, these threats have been made. the government says that they are looking into the source of the threats. we know that the mall of america has said that they are stepping up security both that people can see and things that go on behind the scenes as well. but barack obama and jeh johnson who is the department of homeland security secretary over the next couple of days they will be doing what they can to try and get this budget

approved. assembly republicans says it's got to go through with the scrapping of the executive order that president obama put in place. they said this makes it look bad if we defund the department of homeland security. there is still a bit of horse trading to go on in the next 72 hours. >> much more to come on the newshour. kenyan undermining basic freedoms. nowhere to run. banned from the biggest marathon, we'll tell you why in sports. are is the violence in ukraine is top of the agenda at the united nations security council's open debate on peace and security. russian foreign minister sergey

lavrov is in attendance. our dplowkour diplomatic representative james bays is present. james. >> because sergey lavrov turned up some other key players with regard to ukraine are here. including the ukrainian foreign minister. so it's ended up being a debate that's dominated by ukraine. strong words very important time in ukraine because remember that those minsk peace deals that were done had a key time line and that was a pull back of heavy weapons. that's supposed to happen in just a matter of hours. no one thinks it's going to happen. the ukrainian foreign minister

when he spoke to the council adrian in the last few minutes said, and this is first time he said it actually in the council creurchukraine is considering asking the u.n. to send a peace keeping mission to the ukraine. violating those minsk protocols minsk agreements that were made he said they were turning ukraine into a shooting range were his words. >> james, thank you james bays our like dploik editor diplomatic editor in new york. al jazeera has received a copy of what appears to be a diplomatic communication what do you make of this leak? >> i think it confirms what many of us have known for some time about egypt. in november 2013, the current

military administration even though president see see had not yet -- sisi had not been elected was firmly in control of egypt and they adopted draconian legislation prohibiting all forms of demonstration and strikes. and the leak indicates they were quite serious about them. >> tiny bit embarrassing to the administration but do you think that will lead to the change of the policy? >> absolutely not. i'm not sure it is embarrassing to the administration they still retain a pillar of support. egypt is still under support by terrorists in -- >> nope, we seem to have lost him again. never mind. we got one answer out of him. we'll move on. kenya's high court has struck down part of a controversial security law that puts restrictions on the media.

also restricts the number of refugees in the area. violated the constitution and undermind basic rights. more now from haru matassa. >> it's a packed courtroom. part of kenya's security laws violates human rights. make it easier to deal with security laws. >> hereby declared unconstitutional. >> judges rule some art of the security law is unconstitutional this include limiting the freedom of the media. reporting on security operations without permission from security agencies. >> there are certain aspects of the ruling which we did not agree with and in particular,

where the act attempted to restrain broadcasting. we believe that provision actually should have been kept in view of what's happening in kenya and the terrorist attacks that are going on. >> reporter: those who oppose the law are thrilled. >> and where there is a contest between terrorism and the fundamental rights the constitution is very clear. and if we were to reduce the powers that -- i mean the privileges and rights we enjoy under the constitution on account of terror it will mean that terrorists have won. >> kenyans are divided about the ruling. some are happy about the outcome but there are kenyans who believe the government should have more power if it helps prevent more terrorist incidents. if one can go to a shopping mall or public place without a al shabaab attack.

limit from 500,000 to 150,000 violatehuman rights and kenya's refugee act, that could mean people living in kenya illegally will not be sent back. violated in the name of fighting terror. haru matassa, al jazeera nairobi. >> nigeria's president goodluck jonathan admithe underestimated the power offing boko haram. yvonne ndege reports. >> these chaddian soldiers are part of a regional group being trained by western armies. it is an annual exercise designed to help countries fight terrorist groups. >> better cohesion amongst other nations, their african partners,

their western partners. >> this increased activity comes after president goodluck jonathan admitted he underestimated boko haram's capability, significantly diminished in the next three to four weeks. >> we are not fully equipped and ready to fight the war because of the armament and our position. over time, like you said, in some fora, the military was underequipped, did not have the capacity to take on the military. you know that recently some jets have been quieferred acquired for the air force. so i think our military has the capacity now to take on the boko haram. >> reporter: in the last week the nigerian army said it has taken down many towns like baga

in borno state. some of these chaddians are confidence that the training they're getting will help them defend against the group. >> they don't have the same experience as we have. we're a well organized army, they can't resist us. >> it may feel like too little too late for those who have lost loved ones. this many people have been displaced in this state because of the violence. the group continues to launch attacks. a suicide bomb are killed several and wounded others in the town of potascam in yobe state on saturday. yvonne ndege, al jazeera nigeria. liberia borders three other countries and that border was closed for several months after the largest ebola outbreak in

sting operation made their arrest outside jo johannesburg in 2010. >> the meeting wasn't involved in the actual drama of the story. >> reporter: the spy cables reveal crucial details that were kept hidden from the public. somehow, israel's massad had gotten hold of the anti-tank blueprints. south africa wanted the bleupts the the blueprints back. >> we can return the missile plans to you.

israeli citizen mr. yitzak talia is involved. we want confirmation that he will not be involved in legal issues. >> covered up and got its blueprints back. presumably only after massad had made a copy. two years later a trial took place without any mention of israel's secret role in the affair. the men were tried here and the israeli citizen involved walked away free from prosecution. will jordan, al jazeera. >> you can see the original spy cables and analysis at our exclusive website at aljazeera.com/spy cables . you can follow the story on twitter,/spy cables. covers period between september and december last year, during that time at least 165 executions were carried out

following sentences by so-called courts in i.s.i.l.-controlled areas of the country. the report says that members of the country's diverse ethnic and religious communities as well as those associated with the government are being targeted. francesco marta joins us live vie skype from baghdad. thank you for being with us sir. what's striking is that human rights abuses it seems are being carried out by all sections of the community, all sides of those of conflict within the country. >> yeah, i think that the situation in iraq, the human rights situation in iraq remains particularly the pulse. and while the majority are being conducted by the islamic state of iraq and the levant and its associated armed groups there are certainly violation taking place of groups fighting

i.s.i.l. in some parts of the country, which is concomitant to the dissolution of the iraqi force he in parts of the country. >> the government is explicit it come explicit it wouldcomplicitit would seem. >> i think the current government has a very difficult job on its hands in order to balance the sects and ethnic groups and et cetera. the government is making all the right noises about inclusiveness and ethnic groups and religious and sectarian groups but the great challenge in iraq is having to put those words into action. that's where the international community will play a role to

bring that into reality. because if the government fails doto do that i believe the situation will remain dire. >> how many of the situations perpetrated in iraq amount to war crimes? >> that's difficult to say. crimes against humanity, war crimes, definite on the daesh side or the side of i.s.i.l where they're carrying out actions against ethnic minorities, we're talking about sexual slavery of women from minority groups, these types of crimes, definitely would make the criteria for crimes against humanity. targeting communities for revenge killings, perpetrated by some of the people who are fighting against i.s.i.l. are of serious concern may also meet that definition. we have also had similar persecution of the yazidi sect,

i'm not a court of law but i wouldn't pronounce on it but would say the elements are there. >> thank you from baghdad. heavy weapons in the northern city of aleppo. activists say 48 people have been killed in the past week aalone. caroline malone reports. >> fighting in pleap province is fierce andaleppo province.rebel groups are fighting soldiers from the regime but many other sides are involved in this war. last week forces fighting for syrian president bashar al-assad, iran and hezbollah say they have taken part of the northern sections of aleppo. rebels have since regained ground, killing his men and

taking some of them prisoners they say. >> translator: right now we are here in al mall village and we have managed to rid the area of gangs. al nusra, al qaeda affiliated group, where withdrew from some suburbs. but remain nearby. winning the battle in aleppo would also be psychologically important for any side involved in the fight. >> it's a big city. the biggest in syria. it's the commercial heart of the country. it has incredibly strategic links to turkey and the north. to the heart land and the center and towards lebanon. towards the i.s.i.l.-controlled areas, the kurdish areas in the east. so it's a very, very important symbolic issue that the government and the rebels are

both willing to fight to maintain their control or at least the areas that they control, because the city's divided. >> reporter: meanwhile cultural heritage is being wiped out. these cameras show what is little left in the city. unesco heritage sites. aleppo is a difficult place to live. people are without water electricity and little access to food. many hospital he are not functioning well if at all. that makes some kind of ceasefire all the more important but no more likely as this kind of intense fighting continues. caroline malone, al jazeera. >> france has seized the passports of six of its citizens bound for syria. it's believed they were leaving to fight alongside i.s.i.l. peter sharp has the story. >> we know they are alleged to

have been leaving to fight with i.s.i.l, their departure was imminent according to the french ministry. an additional 40 citizens have their passports examined and will more than likely be banned from traveling abroad. this is part of legislation to counter the number of people in this country, this is the biggest home to mufers muz muslims in europe. that is why this legislation has been passed. securing a four month loan extension for greece. without the finance greece faces bankruptcy which could mean more trouble for the euro zone, a little earlier i spoke with

georgeos greek finance minister. >> the biggest difference is we are now proposing our own reforms. until now we have been applying reforms that actually were counter-reforms of neoliberal as operation,aspiration. so certainly our proposals are going to be coherent exactly because whether we want them to be. >> sir, what is the reforms that directly relate to your ministry that you would like to see included in this list? >> we are proposing reforms that will improve the efficiency of the administration. and reinforce its neutrality.

because the real problem of our public sector is not its big size butter its irrational organization. exactly because it was following patronage direction of clientism, of the two former big parties in greece. so we want simultaneously democratize, and for the brevity interest of our people. >> you say public servants who have been dismissed will be rehired but put an unexpected burden on public finances. will that be overcome? >> we will not introduce new public expenses. but we will arrive at a system of fairness and very highly of

these public servants but we are going to cover the cost of their rehiring by reducing new hirings that have been agreed with our partners. so it is not going to be any additional cost to the budget. >> sir, are you confident that last week's deal on greece's loan extension will hold, or whether the two sides are still too far apart? >> well, now we have a compromise. as exactly it is the tradition of the european union in resolving conflicts. before this agreement we were facing a real blackmail either some circles were saying to us we are going to sign the continuation of the policies of the new memorandum or you'll have sudden death end of liquidity for your banks. now at least we have some space and time to try to negotiate with our partners, the promotion

of our reformation. which is not the end of the negotiations. it is not the end of the negotiations. practically it is the beginning. >> you say you have space and time but if your list of proposals is rejected, for instance if germany insists that past austerity measures are is required will the talks owner collapse? >> this austerity has devastated our economy. at the same time it has brought europe on the brink of economic stagnation. we are not isolated in facing this issue in europe. now the majorities of the countries realize that we cannot any more continue the same economic mix of policies because it's better for europe. that's why i'm very optimistic. i don't think that they would

like the continuation of these policies will prevail. >> now people are queuing up across pakistan to register their mobile sim cards. there are more than 100 million prepaid phones in pakistan and they all have to be accounted for. the government says the measure will help improve security. kamal hyder reports . all phones used within pakistan will have to be reregistered. people who have numbers right now in pakistan will have to go show their identity paper. you can see people queuing across pakistan at the telephone company offices in order to ensure that their phones are not blocked. after the deadline any unverified sim will be automatically blocked. the people will have to bring their national identity cards they have to go through a

biometric process. now the government says it is doing this in order to make sure these sims are not used in actual terror, many of the bomb blasts that have taken place in pakistan have taken place through mobile telephones. the government now wants to ensure that there are no loopholes left there. but importantly it has to deal with 103 million sims. a herculean task by any stretch of the imagination. >> the former president of the maldives has appeared in court. mohamed algiv was dragged into court for trying to bribe a senior judge in 2012. coming up. we will have the condition of fernando alonzo. following his testing on sunday.

>> holm again. many are concerned that their spiritual ceremonies are becoming a form of entertainment. bernard smith explains. >> it's a practice that's 750 years old. legend has it that as the islamic scholar jalalla, heard it, he broke out into ecstasy. he whirld whirled his body until he

reached oneness with the divine. runi was a devout muslim. this deeply spiritual ceremony, sala is being turned into entertainment. a tourist to take off their must-see list. farouk levi has launched a campaign to reclaim his ancestors' practices. >> translator: today we have whirling dervishes spinning at money ceremonies. they're only doing it for money. it's extremely disconcerting. >> he has met with officials including the prime minister to discuss his worries. but despite the banl being banning

of ceremonies during the dervish no eat no drink. no speaking. that word they understand what's the mentality. three minutes we show, normally, 25 minutes. they are turning dervish together they are turning. >> so this is an acceptable way to show it you think? >> yes yes yes. >> this group the mavlana culture and art foundation says its ceremony is faithful and respectable. but they perform without the oversight of rumi's descendants the unique skills needed for sama will be lost. bernard smith, al jazeera istanbul.

>> amazing. i feel dizzy just watching. here is sami with the sports. >> thank you fernando alonzo hit a wall at 240 kilometers an hour. this picture of alonzo, in his hospital bed. they will assess whether he will participate in the testing session. electronic fault which may have rendered alonzo unconscious. teammates are not scared of barcelona. speaking ahead of city champions league, spanish giants on tuesday it will manuel pelegrini's side, nasri believes city gave them too much respect. and the english champions won't

make that mistake this time around. >> we are better physically than last year. last year before the first game we had a couple of players injured. everything will be different. we are more experienced about this competition this year. we went through difficulties in the group stage. it is going to be a matter of webbing the game and not revenge. >> italian champions uventis both teams had contrasting fortunes in their domestic leagues. claw their way back from the relegation to 12th in the bundesliga. >> scotland in pool a while the performance was far from outstanding, the victory will take some of the pressure off the struggling. sarah coates explains. >> after being beaten by australia and humiliated by new

zealand, there was much more than pride on their side. alley did what so badly his side needed. hammering all over the ground, 128 rounds of 107 balls. alley's partnership putting england in a commanding position as they reached 303 parades. scotland lacked sparks and struggled from the get-go. balled out by their rivals for 184 with england's captain unprepared for a victory speech. >> a win just puts things a little more at ease and gives guys a little bit of confidence. even the guys who didn't perform today, rubbing off are up against -- sorry that sounded terrible. talking to other guys who have had a little bit of success today will be good for them. >> the victory removing england

from the bottom of their group. is sarah coates, al jazeera. >> north korea has banned their group from participating in a competition. they are concerned about the ebola virus reported no cases of the virus but its borders remain closed to foreign tourists. , that happened last october the event has been held in pyongyang every year for the past 20 years. two companies have also reported that north korean authorities have cancelled the annual mass games this year. >> this morning at 9:30 we were rung up by our north korean counterpart, they rung up and said because of ebola we're not taking any foreign runners in the country. we had 500 runners already amateur to sort of

semi-professional. they are being cancelled. they are being very, very carefully if you like, there are other words i could use, with respect to virus getting into the country. that makes perfect sense. the system there couldn't cope, quite simply. so the ebola have no reason to think that it is because of the ebola crisis. i think they've taken it to an extreme and it's a great pity that they're stopping an event like this and also stopping tourism. because as we are all aware in the west the situation is under control. >> david pedrae, spanish tennis player was up against fabio fornini in the final knocked out rafael nadal in the semis. won for the next atb win of his
