[music] >> welcome to the news hour. we're in doha and these are the top stories. isil kidnaps 70 people from christian villages. and human rights watch says it has evidence syria's government used the banned barrel bombs to attack rebel-held areas. and more leaks in intelligence cables. we'll reveal which government wanted to spy on the head of

greenpeace. plus why doctors now believe the art of preventing allergyies in children may contain nuts. >> scientists from the islamic state in iraq and the levant have kidnapped at least 70 people from christian villages in syria. activists say that isil raided the province where the syrian kurdish forces have launched a major offensive against the group. now these pictures appear to show battles on monday. well in neighboring iran the army released this video after recapturing the town offal baghdadi. and in mosul isil men's destroyeddestroyed 8,000

manuscripts. we have this report on the abduction of 70 christians by isil. >> people have been forced to move by isil. this time it's the christians, they were overrun by the islamic state in iraq and the levant. >> they struck our church, our social club, our houses, other areas, this is why we had to leave. we were scared. >> inin these difficult times we ask for help. >> isil has captured 70 people. their whereabouts are not known. they don't know if they're still alive or if isil plans to exchange them as part of a

syrian swap. it's leaders are appealing for help from the international community against isil. >> all the political parties and the community want to issue a statement to strongly condemn these actions by isil and ask the international community and their friends here and abroad to help rescue our land which is under the control of aggressive terrorist organization. >> there were clashes in the area between kurdish forces and isil. the kurds have made advances in province. they managed to take control of several villages after defeating isil in the border town of kobane. isil captured hundreds if not thousands of people in syria and neighboring iraq. it has been accused of war crimes and abuses. including the mass kidnapping of the yazidis in iraq last summer. but this is the first time that the armed group capture sod many christians in syria.

they have not targeted any minorities but any group or persons who object to its rule. al jazeera beirut. >> from the center much middle east studies from the university of oklahoma, thank you for being with us. now, we've been told that coalition airstrikes have made grounds on isil territory, that isil fighters and camps have been targeted. yet, isil atrocities we see continue to happen. isil continues to be as strong as ever. what really is the reality on the ground? >> well, i think isil is suffering a great deal. they have not lost tons of territory, although some of the u.s. commanders say they have lost a third of their territory in iraq. they've been pushed back a little bit and the kurds, of course, around kobane have taken many villages, and they're pushing south towards the river across the river and this is

why the fighting really has engulfed. >> at the same time, though, there have been reports that isil fighters have gotten close to the air base. surely that would show that the u.s. is actually vulnerable to isil attacks seeing that u.s. troops are training the iraqi army there. isil is nowhere near defeated. they're powerful when they amass their troops together, especially because they can move quickly and take people by surprise, and they're good fighters. we've seen tons of dead isil fighters. so far the. >> you say that we're in the middle of this. we do know that coalition is

training the iraqi troops to to--for a major offensive on mosul. why is it taking so long to defeat isil on the ground? are they good strategists or are they teaching local help? >> well, i think it's all of the above. they are good strategists. they swept through the region without much resistence at all. they had intimidated many people, and many soonies we heard from the anbar province and mosul that they did not like the government in baghdad and what the baghdad is trying to do now with u.s. help is trying to remediate by a certain degree and make power sharing noises. how much real power share something going on to convince sunnies to abandon isis and join the government is not clear. but the bombing campaign that the u.s. has been waging, and also the time lived under isis

has made many people, if not turn against isis, keep their heads down. we'll see whether the iraqi army can push into mosul effectively without massacres. without alienateing the sunni population. that is going to be the big difficulty. mosul is a big city. it's occupied. you can't do to it what one has done to kobane, which is to level the city, and people had to be evacuated. it's a battle of a completely different order. >> right. thank you for your insight director for the center of middle east studies at the university of oklahoma. a pleasure. >> now, a series of bombings have killed oh 40 people and wounded dozen ms. iraq. twin blasts have killed a dozen people including students who had just left a nearby school.

at least ten people died after shelling by the iraqi army. now iraqi troops have been trying to drive isil forces out of fallujah for more than a year. the u.s. president say they're committed to defeating isil despite what iraq calls the extraordinary challenge of stabilizing syria. obama hosted at the white house and he described qatar as a strong partner in the fight against the armed group. and we have more now from the white house. >> the qataris have a forced military attack who were based in qatar. there were a lot of ground to cover. barack obama brought them up to speed with the latest talks between the iranians, the united states and world powers about iran's nuclear programs. remember, the qataris have offered to host a training camp

for moderate syrian elements, and barack obama said that the situation there would only removeed by assad. he described it as terrorism and said in many cases it was hopelessness hopelessness that young people felt across the middle east, hopelessness in europe and the united states as well. he thanked president obama for his continued efforts to try to arrange a peace process between the israelis and palestinians. saying that that was a concern to many around the world. this was considered to be a constructive discussion which covered many bases. both sides they will continue those discussions. particularly with so many issues concerning both countries.

>> human rights watch says it has evidence that syria's government has used barrel bombs to attack rebel-held areas. it says that 6,000 civilians have been killed by barrel bombs since last year when they called for a an end of he's discriminate attacks. our diplomatic editor james bays reports. >> an aerial attack in syria's aleppo province. human rights watch say that the number of such attacks has been increasing, including the use of improviseed munitions like these. the so-called barrel bombs. almost exactly a year ago in a rare moment of diplomatic unity they passed a resolution on humanitarian access in syria. that resolution said all aerial attacks including barrel bombs had to stop. but it's human rights watch research using witness statements say that has not happened. their research shows the number of attacks in aleppo province

before the resolution marked in blue on the map numbered about 350. in red after the resolution in one year alone over 1,100 bombings. >> we have seen that the syrian government as well as other parties to the conflict have completely failed to abide by the terms of the resolution. despite that security council has failed to take the issue back up and send a clear message to the parties that there will be a price to pay for failing to abide by clear terms of resolution, which require an end to indiscriminate attacks. >> human rights watch say that there has been so tension on isil that the syrian government has not been held to its actions and its urging that the security council read its new research before the next meeting on syria next thursday. james bays, al jazeera, at the united nations. >> the u.s. secretary of state john kerry said that russia has repeatedly lied about its

activities in ukraine. >> russia has engaged in a rather remarkable period of the most owe jarrett and extensive propaganda exercise that i've seen since the very height of the cold war. and they have been persisting in their misrepresentations, lies, whatever you want to call them, about the actives there to-to-my face and the face of others on many different occasions. >> meanwhile britain's prime minister said that the u.k. will send military personnel to ukraine to help train the army. the announcement comes following the peace talks in paris. the meeting ended in tension over differences who was to blame over the continued violence. on the ground in ukraine both the army and the separatists are accusing each other of violating the truce, and now they are

concerned that rebels are moving their focus to mariupol in the south. now it is strategically important. >> the continueous sounds of artillery while it is true that guns have fallen silent along lines of the conflict, it's not happening here. >> we can't give-- >> we can't reply to the fire. >> no, we can't. >> we're under orders. >> we were taken further along dry, dusty lanes passing abandoned houses and weaving between military positions. there are tanks and guns and

there is no intention to withdraw them yet. >> these tanks are on the second defensive line in case the enemy break through the front line. we need to have anti-tank armor. it might be shelling or they might prepare a grouped assault. i must be able to with stand it or make a reply. or should i just stand and watch. >> just a few hundred meters back from the from the line the sound of artillery fire is continuous. the army is digging new defensive trenches. >> there is bombing in the background here. we've been told not to reveal the exact location of the trenches, but you can see the urgency with which the soldiers are digging them. they have zero confidence that the cease-fire is applied here. the city of mariupol was briefly controlled by separatist fighters last may before being captureed by soldiers and

volunteer battalions. it's power gives it strategic importance. in the city itself the markets still operate but the uncertainty is creating deep anxiety. >> of course, we feel anxious. but i stand here on the market every day, and i see ukrainian military vehicles every day to help our army, and i do not believe that mariupol will surrendered. >> of course we're worried. you see donetsk and worry what could happen there. it could happen here. a lot of people have fled the city. >> we hope that our soldiers will defend us. we also hope that our other allies support us. it would be better if they gave us weapons to defend ourselves. >> international monitors have expressed deep concern about the situation east of mariupol. the diplomacy has done little to silence the guns here.

paul brennan al jazeera, mariupol ukraine. >> still ahead eurozone's finance minister agree on a last-minute deal to prevent greece from defaulting on its debt. plus the threat of attacks. but is tighter security really the answer. and in sport moving the the 2022 cup to the winter. why football bosses are seeing red. >> in yemen houthi rebels are on the hunt for the countries' president saying he's wanted for justice. houthi rebels seized the presidential palace in sanaa and placed president hadi under house arrest.

he has now retracted his resignation. meanwhile a french woman has been kidnapped in the capitol. the 30-year-old was driving in a taxi with a yemeni driver on her way to work when they were intercepted by armed men in front of an government building. >> to nigeria where 24 people have been killed in suicide-bombings in the northeast. a bomb exploded as people were boarding a bus. two ours later two bombers attacked a bus station and president goodluck jonathan has blamed the armed group boko haram of the attacks. we have more from the capitol town of abuja. >> reporter: we now know that it was a male suicide-bomber. there had been earlier reports that it could have been a female suicide-bomber. in this other attack police say

two male suicide-bombers were involved. they had arrived from another town. well, it's not clear in both cases precisely where those devices were left off. were they on board buses or just in the vicinity of the bus stations. the question people are asking is what does this mean against boko haram. when you talk to the authorities they say the battle is ongoing. they have not promised to eliminate boko haram and thighs kinds of attacks unfortunately are expected until they can completely eliminate the group. but when you talk to people in the immediate available, they do question the effectiveness of the security services. they do wonder given the fact that there are thousands of soldiers on parole in these areas why such attacks still take place. the opposition is saying that it shows the grows incompetent of the security services. nonetheless, despite the violence seen today elections are still going to be held at the end of march and in april.

president jonathan has promised within the next three to four weeks the power and the strength of boko haram will be significantly reduced by the nigerian armed forces. >> secret documents obtained by al jazeera's investigative unit reveal how intelligence agency ies spied on greenpeace. it comes from the spy cables, hundreds of undisclosed documents released to this network and it may disclose other unusual targeted. >> the spy cables give a glimpse of how intelligence agencyies hunt for information and who they choose as targets. there are the usual suspects but also the less publicized such as environment group greenpeace. a confident document from 2010 shows how in the run up to the

g20 summit in south korea, spies in seoul asked for specific security assessments of green peace and two south africans listed as "dangerous persons." >> sadly the assumption that we make, especially after the edward snowdon wikileaks came out, we're heavily monitored and under constant surveillance. but it's one thing to assume that it's happening. it's a little more numbing and chilling to have it confirmed that's what they're doing right now. >> the documents don't say what information south africa passed on, but they do we veal that spies from all over the world regularly send requests more about politics plan security. a spy from cameroon asked for information on opposition leader who had recently visited south

africa. the south africans said no. >> south african as former minister for intelligence say politicians regularly manipulate spy agencies for their own ends. >> governments and presidents, ministers, use the intelligence services, the personnel sections of those assets for political reasons. >> zimbabwe would monitor activities subverting constitutional order and target rogue ngos not-for-profit trusts and the media. does that include spying on opponents of zimbabwe's robert mgabe. after all this shows long

evidence of intelligence sharing. and it seems for spice spying on a group like greenpeace is all in a day's work. >> there has been an agreement on a last-minute deal to prevent greece from defaulting on its debts. it comes after the finance ministers approved greece's plan to reform its economy. the list of measures put forward including a range of anti-austerity policies, including free electricity healthcare food, public transport. greece wants to offer aid to those on low pensions and stop homes from being repossessed. plans to pay for these reforms by tackleing tax evasion corruption, and the smuggling of fuel and tobacco and by making the government more efficient cutting the number of ministries, and getting rid of benefits like official cars.

from athens we have reports. >> reporter: one of greece's dispossessed. at 40 she has lost her bookmaker shop and owes the tax man $35,000 she cannot pay. she's one of those that the left wing government vows to help. but she's overwhelmed. >> we're not in charge. i agree stipras is trying. but what have we gained? nothing. he has given us hope to regain our honor but how are they going to go back on all that the predecessors signed? if you sign to a bank, and defelt, they will take your house. >> it's prominently included it's own reforms. the agenda is full of lofty ambition. it promises fairer taxes smaller government, a better business climate and comfort to the poor all under a balanced budget.

:much of this has been promised before and they will have an uphill battle. >> the. >> we want to continue aid for greece but the continuation of the reform program every government has a right to change its politics, but the financial consequences of changing a policy must be taken in one's own country. they cannot be transferred to other countries. >> reporter: for now however creditors are giving the greeks a chance to prove themselves. it's essentially a confidence-building period between an untested greek administration and creditors who like greek voters are fed up with promises and disappointments. greece has achieved what some officials have called an ambiguous text. it's over arching agreement is that greece will consult with its creditors on legislation while they, inturn, will not impose austerity measures. greece wants a few weeks to

though that it means business. but the main problem may be that the more it gains the trust of creditors, the more it loses that of voters. al jazeera. athens. >> back to the paris attacks earlier this year, the european governments came together to combat further attacks. some are question building increasing security is the only answer and whether the cash-strapped government will pay for it. from berlin, nick spicer reports. >> the police guarding the police. some of the guns and gadgets used in what western governments call the fight against terrorists. >> if you want to look at isis-- >> the keynote speaker warned that a police crackdown is only part of the answer. >> especially in france their problems of marginalization of

immigrant populations and without access to jobs, it's not just a breeding ground for terrorism or terrorist recruit recruitment, it is a problem for after overall development of society. >> as this year began european police efforts took on new urgency when attacks in paris stunned public opinion and led governments to pledge new efforts to stop such actions. in the wake of those attacks european interior ministers met last month to get behind the wheel, to find new steps to prevent more of them. confiscating the travel documents of people going to syria or iraq to fight or to train. a measure already in place in some european countries or speeding up the exchange of traffic information in europe, and reforming the idea of border free travel in in the european union. >> but police deployments are decreasing in several countries obvious in reaction to protests of austerity measurement

austerity that shrank police budgets. >> politicians tend to cut the budgets of the police instead of preparing for the worse. now times are getting rougher and they have to effectively change course. they have to get back to recruit new people. >> if there was a consensus that the police congress, it was for a mix of miles. more money for police, but more efforts to help provide opportunities to people who are tempted by political violence. nick spicer, al jazeera, berlin. >> still ahead on the program we'll cross to pant gone i can't on wildfires in native forcer forests. and why new rules could put the fair trade movement in the developing world at risk. and barcelona take on manchester city. all the details coming up later

he has always insisted it was an act of self defense. they said there was a lack of evidence to charge him with violating federal civil rights laws. the case sparked a fierce debate about self-defense laws in the u.s. kimberly halkett has more from washington, d.c. >> reporter: many felt that the shooting death of trayvon martin was racially motivate: there was a case that went to trial in florida, and there was found to be no evidence with regard to the attempt to convict george zimmerman for murder and maughan manslaughter. many were looking at this case as federal prosecutors looking at this case. a prehensive comprehensive

standard foundinvestigation showed that the high standard could not be found here. the death of michael brown in ferguson missouri, who died at the hands of officer darren wilson the murder burden of proof will be very difficult to prove that civil rights were violated in this case. however, the policing practices of ferguson, missouri, are also under the microscope, and in this respect that investigation many who had protested both of these shootings are hopeful that they will see a federal prosecution. this is looking into whether or not the policing practices were discriminatory and could result

in further action at the federal level. those outcome--the scout come of those prosecutions could be announce: we're told that they will be announceed before attorney general departs and we expect his detar hour to come very soon. >> u.s. president barack obama has vetoed a bill on the keystone xl pipeline. butthe president would say no from the running of oil from the gulf coast. >> after protests, millions spent lobbying and debateing congress, a bill forcing program's.

>> it smacks of contempt, the european approach smacks of con at the present time for the value of farming and communities. it's completely hypocritical. this is not in anyone's interest. >> supporters of the developing world says it proves how flimsy the west's commitment is. >> we need to take back patrol of our food. we need to put farmers first and those who eat food back in control of their food systems. >> the whole point of the fair trade model was to put food back in the hands of those who use it. and not the politicians. in the end many farmers are, in fact powerless. >> in argentina, wildfires

because local people here have criticized the lack of resources resources, the sparse number of firefighters applied to this job, they asag if it had been done sooner perhaps these flames could have been brought under control. but there is no end in sight. there are pockets of flames all over this huge, remote, often inaccessible region. it's difficult to see how this is going to end, of course, unless there is a massive rainfall, and there is no indication of that happening. >> is the weather contributing to the blaze spreading as well? >> the winds have started up in the last half hour or so. and behind me we see the flames coming up from the middle of the smoke. yes, the weather has an enormous

affect of what's going on here. and many people are pray forgive rains. there are methods. people are dancing praying doing whatever they can because rain is what they need. yet the forecast is not predicting anything in the near future. >> daniel, thank you. updating us on the wildfires. still to come on the news hour we have a new show hoping in london on the art of forensics. it looks at medieval mist to modern times. the world's best tennis player with a win in dubai. we've got more on that and the rest of sport in just a moment.
