the latest. >> well, like you mentioned 90 of syrian christians have been captured by the islamic state of iraq, that is according to human rights groups what we understand is there was heavy fighting in the province this is in the northeast of syria fighting between kurdish forces and isil isil manages to overrun two villages, villages which were inhabited by christians we know that many of them manages to three but 90 were captured. so there's little anybody where their whereabouts they don't even know how many of the 90 peel were women and children, and they don't know their fate people are worry have had they been killed what does isil doing with them, do they want to use them in a prisoner exchange. during the years isil in both syria and iraq, they have

captured hundreds if not thousands of people from different groups. they targeted christians in the iraqi city, they targeted the minority community in northwestern iraq. but they have also targeted sunnies anyone who doesn't approve or agree with their so called state. so a lot of fear now and community leaders appealing for assistance to help find these people. >> live in beirut. hougthi rebels say that yemen's president and wanted for justice after threing to the southern city. he has retracted his resignation, he stepped down last month. after the rebel group seized the presidential palace. and placed him under house arrest. meanwhile a french woman and her driver been kidnapped.

the u.s. government has been very very frustrated that despite the ever increasing number of sanctions levied on persons in russia. as well as on parts of the economy, that the government has not dialed back his activity in eastern ukraine if anything, it has increased the activity. we heard from the secretary of state on saturday in london, where he said that the u.s. is very seriously considering a new round of sanctions as is the e.u., it is just a matter of time, they say because they are very concerned that the latest efforts to impose a cease fire, in eastern ukraine is not working many thanks. rosalyn jordan live in washington, d.c. >> fears are growing that the city in the ukraine could become the latest battlefield paul brennen has seen soldiers digging new defensive positions to the east of the city. >> the east of the city

ukrainians delivered fresh tanks to the front line on tuesday. and the continuous sound of artillery and tank fire from the positions further forward is why. while it is true that the guns have fallen silent, along large sections of the line of conflict, it is not happening here. bombing every day from separatist and we can't give him -- he can't reply. >> we can't. >> under orders in. >> this fire in one way. we were taking further forward passing abandon houses and weaving between military defensive positions. >> there are tanks and guns and no intention to withdrawal them yet. >> these tanks are on the second defensive line in case the enemy break through the front line, we need to have antitank armor, do you hear the sound? it might be shelling or they may be preparing a ground assault. if it is an assault i must be

able to with stand it or make a reply p just a few hundred meters back, the sound of tank and artillery fire is almost continuous. the ukrainian army is digging new trenches. >> there's a constant back drop here, here in the trenches, east of mario we have been told not to reveal the exact location, but you can see the urgency with which the soldiers are digging them, they have zero confident that the cease fire is applying here the city with it's huge steelworkers and busy sea port is briefly controlled by separatist fighters last may. before being recaptures by volunteer battalions. it's power gives it's significant strategic importance. in the city itself, the market still operates. but the uncertainty is creating deep anxiety. >> of course, we feel anxious

oen the market every day and i see military vehicles headed to the front line to help our army and i think it will no be surrenders. of course we are worried when you see what is happening there, you are worries it can happen here too and certainly a lot of people have neff. >> we hope our soldiers will depend us. and we also hope that our other allies support us. it would be better if they gave us weapons to defend ourselves. >> the diplomacy has so far done little to silence the guns here. >> paul brennen, al jazeera. ukraine. >> lithuania's president says that his country will bring back conscription, due to growing fears of action by russia lithuania ended in september 2008, it already had nearly 16,000 active military

personnel. if the plan is approved by the parliament, it will be renewed for five years. >> secret documents obtained by al jazeera's investigative unit reveal how intelligence agencies spied on green peace. the revelations come from the spy cables hundreds of secret documents leaked to this network. they also expose other unusual targets. phil reese reports. >> the spy cables give a glimpse into how intelligence agencies hunt for information. and who they choose as targets. there are the usual suspects. but also the less publicized such as environmental group green peace. a confidentble document from 2010 shows how in the run up to the g 20 summit spieses

ask for specific security assessments on the head of green peace and two other sup africans lists as dangerous persons. sadly the assumption that we make especially after the edward snowden leaks and the information came out that in fact we are heavily monitored and being under constant surveillance but it is one thing sort of assuming that it is happening it's a little more numbing and chilling to have it confirmed as we are doing right now. >> the documents don't say what information south africa passed on, but they do reveal that spies from all over the world, regularly send requests. >> one document revealed how a spy asked for information on opposition leader. who had recently visited south africa. the south africans said no. >> i do not think that he has

committed any offense which will warrant to provide information. >> south africa's foreign minister for intelligence says politician regularly manipulate spy agencies for their own ends governments and presidents ministers, use the intelligence personnel sections of those outfits for political purposes. >> another deal revealed is with zimbabwe to monitor and target rogue mgos. not for profit trusts and the media. >> does that i wonder include spying on opponents of zimbabwe's president. well overall these cable provide wide ranging evident of the political nature of global intelligence sharing. it seems that for today's

spies, noting on groups like green peace is all in a day's work phil reese al jazeera in amsterdam. >> . >> the director of green peace is with us right now what do you make of this. >> i think it is wrath eunfortunate set of activities being undertaken by governments. i think it is a reflection that we are winning the argument as the environmental movement, where we say we are running out of time that we have to act with what the scientists are saying. and we need to get off dirty energy, and move to clean renewable emergency. and as our voice getting stronger i think this is a threat not some governments but to the big corporations that own our governments. so it is deeply disappointing it is for me to hear that my government might have done this i'm more hurt than angry. and i certainly will be trying to get more information now

that al jazeera has revealed this information to me. >> discussion services are supposed to be there to protect us what threat is green peace to security. >> . >> well, as our name suggests the two things that we are most concerned about is the environmental issue green and peace. and so as a peaceful organization, that does engang in civil disobedience, which we make no apologies we are beginning to constitute a real threat not to the interest of ordinary people, around the word, but to the oil companies, the coal companies the pass companies it is not surprising that it is south korea government that made this request. because they are pushing the nuclear technology, when it is clear that south africa does not need nuclear that we can have energy -- we have green against the major narrative of big corporations that have

disproportional influence so you say you are still deciding on a course of action, what to do next, what can green peace and other nongovernmental organizations do to protect their personnel from the prying eyes of the world spying agencies. >> it is important to note that it isn't just green peace, but a range of civil society organizes are being captures, we know that every week environmental activists get killed somewhere the the world. the repression against peaceful activism is rising so as a civil society we have to unite. and to actually use the legal system, wherever possible to contest these actions because they are illegal secondly we need to galvanize opinion, to say we have an intelligence monitoring system, and a frame work that is linked and back in the precold war period, this does not serve the interest of ordinary people, it does not serve the interest of peace and security. it serves the interests of the

big polluting companies that are driving us to destruction. we need to challenge the way intelligence monitoring is being done, and we need a twenty-first century approach to intelligence, not to be stuck in a precold war era frame work. >> thank you sir the director of green peace live. >> still to come here on the news hour, australia's government slam as report into the treatment of children, in it's deception centers plus. fifa says it wants to change the dates of the 2022 world cup we will tell you when they are planning to host football's biggest tournaments. and facing an old foe barcelona looks for a repiece of last year's victory. in the uefa championships league, raul standing by with that sport and in around 30 minutes.

>> reacting to news of these two blasts and in it he talks about these blasts being an act of test race. of a set that is facing extinction. he said that boko haram are feeling the attack of the intense insurgency that is being launch bedty army. this is now a response coming from the off of the president. what we now know speaking to police on the ground is that in the incident, it was a male

suicide bomber that had been earlier reports that it could have been a female suicide bomber, those are now been dismissed earlier police say that two suicide attackers were behind the bomb that went off. they had apparently arrived two men, from a town about 40-kilometers away. before december nateing their devices. the area has been quartered off and it is now relatively safe, those people are on edge. >> given the operation that was launched after the presidential election this statement i was just mentioning coming from good luck jonathon is inning to go by the situation is still improving despite these attacks we are reporting today. in the last few days, the nigerian arm forces say they have recaptured at least seven

strategic towns. the activity was very prevalence they say in general now this is an on going battle. the war against terrorism which is what they call it, is on going. they are not promising to eliminate bomb caha ram, but are saying thatly will diminish the activities we heard president good luck jonathon says that within the next three to four weeks we will see a significant reduction the attacks be i the group. just briefly now on how people are reacting to that, well, obviously those in the immediate vicinity, you can understand, were questioned just how effective the security services are and will be wondering whether they can have any confident in what is being said, in cases like where the defense head quarters is baited, they say this is just further evidence, of the effectiveness of the armed forces this is two

little too late, but this is all now happening because elections are approaching that the authorities are trying to make out this is what they say they do have the situation under control. in order to bolster support for the president who is facing an election on the 28th of march. and that all of this is evidence that there needs to be a change of government, that this government has failed to tackle boko haram. this is what the issue is here. but for many people, obviously, who are in the vicinity of what has been going, they are going to be worried. they will be worried about whether there is more violence even though we keep sending out the same message that bo caha ram will be diminished eventually. >> thank you, indeed. live. after new cases of ebola emerged. says the neighborhood of

he was just 14 and alone he coped in detention but saw other chirp that didn't. >> i saw kids who are who are cutting their hands. it is not something that i could forget. we are damaging those kids. we are damaging mentally, and we are damaging physically. his experience is similar to many detailed in a human rights report on immigrant children detained by australia's government. >> our findings are shocking. we found that all the medical evidence confirmed that detention causing and compounds mental health disorders among children. >> more than a third of children detained require psychiatric support, there are allegations of sexual abuse against children many have self-harmed on tuesday officials from the australian

department confirm add 16-year-old girl in detention threw herself off a building last week. this is a shocking report, only australia it says automatically locks up immigrant children. serious dang is being done. but shocking too has been the government's reaction to the report. this it says is a travesty. >> more children were in detention under the previous government than the current one, the report the prime minister says acknowledge the success, in stopping boats full of refugees from coming to australia in the first place. >> this inquiry is a political stitch up. it is a political stitch up and members of this government. >> i totally reject any suggestion that this report is a political sized exercise, the facts frankly speak for themselves and this report speaks for itself. >> australia's policy towards refugees is deeply political.

elections have been won and lost on the issue children, though are among those that feel it's consequences. >> officials the ever football's governing body they say will recommend that the 2022 world cup, should be played in november and december. to avoided the extreme summer heat here. for more on that, we are joined by our sports correspondent talk us through the impliations of this decision, how did they come to us. >> when qatar was awarded the world cup the first thing that came to my head, is can they play it in the summer, and ever since then, discussions have been on going as to the health implications. qatar said they could do it, but obviously they have decided to move it -- the maining os were november to desks and also january to february. now, earlier this year, the fifa president spoke to the head and promised h imthat they wouldn't hold nit january and february because that

would hold a clash with the winter it's just a recommendation of november to december as the solution that will disrupt or upset the at least amount. >> fifa is likely to reedify it's as you say there will be people that will be very upset, particularly in europe, the english premier league for one. >> absolutely, lit cause major disruptions to the european league leagues like the german league, and spain's league already have a winter break so that will extend that winter break but the fa premier leg have no breaks so it will cause huge disruption and rich are charred szczur moore the chief executive, he was here, very very unhappy but financial compensation is already been mooted by the european clubs association and they have about a month to really go through the negotiations and discuss what their compensation can be aworded. >> i am sure it is set to run

2 agreement that was worked out between the russians and the german and the french. the problems that peace agreement looks like it might have some prospects of success, but i think there are those in washington who would like to undermine that agreement, because it is frankly advantageous to the side of the rebels in donetsk. and i think this kind of talk is indicative of that. the fact is that rush are sha could end this tomorrow by withdrawing it's military and financial assistance to the russia the prorussia rebels. >> i don't think it's as simple as that. first off all of the talk about russia's military presence in ukraine this kind of talk has been going on for months but no evidence has been presented by western governments. on the other han, it is understood by pretty much everything that there are russian personnel in various

covert guys and money and weapons that are going into the east, but the fact of the matter is that neither mr. putin nor any government in moscow could afford to just sit back, and withdraw support from the people in year ukraine and let them be slaughtered by kiev. >> where do you think that the pro russia rebels are getting these heavy weapons and the ammunition that they are using. >> i personally i am sure they are getting support from the russians. they are also getting weapons from frankly a very incop tent kiev military, that is just not able to maintain it's side of the conflict. >> what is russia up to here? is it pushing peace? is the real goal another frozen conflict, an open sore that moscow can prod and stir?

in order to retain it's influence over kiev. >> i think that can be a short term tactical goal, a means to an end what russia wants and what russia has wanted from the beginning is essentially not to have ukraine brought into the western camp in a way that is hostile. and this is what really happen add year ago when there was a change of regime in kiev, and there was kind of an attitude from washington and from european governments that ukraine is ours now nothing you can do about it, and that's the way it is going to be. that was also a sure recipe to tear ukraine apart because ukraine itself is a very divided society, some of which is very pro russia and some very anti-russia. >> good to talk to you, thank you for be being with us. >> thank you. >> a secret intelligence briefing has shown how south

africa, spied on an israeli eight, that's one of hundreds of revelations in the spy cables obtains by al jazeera investigative unit, the exact details of how the secret service agent lives lives in south africa, where he went, how he behaves. simon bozeman has the details. >> this is secret assessment of israel's intelligence, reveals sought african counter placed a spy under surveillance they noted his every move. giving us a glimpse into the life of on an rahtive whenever he left the embassy for the nearby shopping center, he wouldn't go direct, instead first walking around the block, his bills revealed he had constant contact with members of the jewish community, including the board of deputies driving home he

markets the fact that our product our palestinian oil is being exported to 24 countries around the world that's a sign that we exist as a land. >> at least it is made it also widely operates in an area where it was basically preaching to those that wanted to support palestinian farmers now it is people that now buy it based on it's excellent quality. >> yet as much as fair trade has been prove to work, it now ayer poos manyings of farmer whose produce sugar cane, are at huge risk not by anything like settlement, but by the policies of the european union, the long term downturn in the euro zone has led europe to lift trade quote teas to protect european farmers at the experience of these people. fair trade says it's a complete double standard.

>> it smacks of contempt, for the value of you remember farmerring the value of importance of farming to communities. but also of the livelihood point of view, it is completely hypocritical, this will make people poorer, that's not in anyone's interest supporters say it proves how flimsy their commitment is. >> we need to take back control, we need to put farmers first we nude to put farmers and the community who eat food back in troll of their food systems. the whole point is to put power back in the the hands of people that grow food for western consumers. politician it seems like this idea when the countries can ard to it, but in hard times it seems those ideals may not apply. in the end many farmers are left powerless. >> the euro zone finance ministers have approved greece's proposed economic reforms. greece's handed over a

he knows he has to take a league for the second game in three weeks time. he will be missing tonight the last of his three match suspension for that silly sending off, he h be back for the second game but missing tonight somewhat overrun in the game here, so i think if he passes the late fidness test, the starting goal, and see that sensational front three i think tonight of messy swarez but manchester city, they simply have to win. >> tuesday's other games the italian champions and league leaders were knocked out for this stage last season. well, they are trying to reach the quarter finals for only the second time in nine years. is well aware of the tortman threat, it was the german side that beat them in the champions league final. way back in 1997.
