from all of us here at "techknow", happy new year. we look forward to bringing you more innovative stories that come our way in 2014. . >> hello, i'm lauren taylor. this is the news hour live from london. coming up, the fight rages on in libya. delegates headed to morocco for talks when the government say they were targeted by airstrikes airstrikes. 17 dead after an explosion in an eastern ukrainian mine. 16 are still missing. mexico captures it's second drug lord in a week. the boston bombing trial gets under way with tsarnaeve

lawyer saying that he did participate in the attack. we begin in libya where fighting rages on even as members of both rival government head to morocco for talks ending the chaos. one group of delegates say they were targeted by airstrikes by supporters loyal to the government in tibruk. >> right now we're right here in the airport. as we're here for the national dialogue meeting unknown airplanes carried out airstrikes these are plumes of smokes created by the airstrikes. they're here to sabotage the

meetings. we're still going and we'll respect the government that will unite libya. >> forces loyal to the tripoli government after they attacked oil field in sirte. she haven't called for an immediate cease-fire. but libya's deputy ambassador to the u.n. has urged the couple to relax in arms embargo. from the u.n. our diplomatic editor james bays reports. >> reporter: they saw for itself how difficult it will be to bring peace to libya. they first heard from the u.n. special representative planning fresh talks in morocco on thursday. they said that everyone needed to be aware of what was at stake. >> the over all situation on the ground is deteriorating rapidly. libya can no longer afford the armed conflict that has gripped

the country for much of the past year cannot fester longer. >> moments later an explosive speech that threatens to undermine those talks libya's ambassador that represents one of two rifle governments declared the other side based in the capitol of tripoli were in his words militia and terrorists. >> the resolution of these strategies cannot be tied to the dialogue that remains to this day hostage to the will and maliciousness based on crime. libya has been in turmoil for more than four years. >> life is difficult. many in the country the economy

is not as brilliant, of course, as it was in the past and people are very worried. they are in fear of an occupation. >> here in the u.n. there are some including the libyan ambassador, the egyptians and a number of arab countries who wants arms to be sent straight away to the government in t tibruk. but oh for now the security council is ignoring that why and looking to bring one government together of national unity. >> joining me in the institutes, a political analyst just on what james is talking about at the end of his report, how likely is it that these talks will go anywhere given the scale of violence and deterioration on

the ground. >> these resources to bring political re reunification unless that happens, it's a long step in democratic traps significance. in terms of military intervention they're completely separate from what is happening. they have very little in the way of commander control and. >> and on that, there is a request for the arms embargo to be lifted. you have how likely is that to be any different with the cause that we've heard recently. >> any kind of call for an anti-embargo will most likely intoxicate this kind of fighting and fuel the fighting and not bring any type of resolution. for most on the ground, they

have just added to the political point scoring that has been happening over the last six to eight months. it's unfortunately not going to add the incentive for trust and peace building that the current talks need. >> at the moment, there isn't actual u.n. representation on the ground. bought a presence on the ground, there is no one there to monitor. how do you make progress in being able to talk with each other. >> you have to have these kinds of talks brokering, even if they're occurring in morocco geneva or elsewhere, the presence of the u.n. will add that legitimacy that credibility and that trust. going into libya any brokered government will need the u.n. present to make sure that there are no spoilers in it, those who would look to irradicate the

opposition. >> this is one of the early interventions where they did intervene to help the rebels. a couple of weeks ago we had the italians saying they need the intervention there now they have toned it down saying it has to be diplomatic. how much of an appetite is there internationally to get involved again physically with libya. >> i think its split. the intervention seems to look nor successful. but in terms of the war on terror it has not achieved much against the terrorists. that's the true question. where they're asking for arms embargo and bombing your way to a situation with gaddafi is one thing. and bombing your way italy isis is completely different. but the calls are there and unless there is an international intervention that brings

together one government and targets all the spoilers, this is a different matter. the bombing from the sky will add much more confusion to an already chaotic situation. >> the their forces and allies are coming in four fronts. they've retaken the oil field east of the city. jane arraf has more. >> iraqi troops are moving slowly towards tikrit. slowly because they're facing isil suicide-bombers snipers. this iraqi minister of defense video shows the biggest combat operation since isil seized territory last june. it doesn't show the militia

component of this fight. shia volunteers and militias, the most powerful link to iran make up 20,000 of the 30,000 troops involved here. the government says isil fighters are deserting and heading to the mountains. the highway from tikrit leads to mosul. iraq's defense minister acknowledges that it will be a tough road ahead. >> we're in multiple phases of war. we're in the preparation phase for the real battle. the obstacles are expected. we've taken much measures to avoid much difficulties. >> around mosul the united states continues its airstrikes. but it's on the side lines in this militia-led battle for tikrit. >> the iraqi government in this case did not ask for our support in this particular operation and i think that we need to be

watchful. >> there are others, though, who are eagle for join in. turkey's defense minister said in baghdad his country was ready to provide military help. >> this is a difficult battle with huge stakes. iraqi needs to take back tikrit to push on to mosul. shia militias need to show that they can operate in sunni territory. but as the battle for tikrit is won, it doesn't end there. militias will need to know that city residents will come back. >> isil fighters in sir are a have reportedly killed 14 government fighters in the gas field east of homs. sources close to isil say that soldiers were killed trying to withdraw for a battle in control of the area. syrian activists are asking the united nations to pressure the government to allow aid in besieged districts around the capitol of damascus. they say that people are dying

from starvation and disease. >> these children say that they're hungry and they have no food at home. rebel-controlled areas is under siege by syrian government forces. local charity organizations are able to provide some help to families but even those groups find it hard to bring in supplies to this besieged suburb of damascus. over the past two years the u.n. has been able to bring aid to this district that activists say it has been months since any goods were allowed in. >> there is no food at all and you're hearing the words i'm hungry from many people every day. we have already seen many people die from starvation. the regime is using starvation as an attack against rebel areas. >> this is not the only damascus

district where people are hungry. children are dying from starvation. mohammed was 20 days old. he was the 172nd victim in the past two years. people here don't only need food. there is a lack of medicine. >> my daughter has asthma, and the other four children have similar cases. my nine-year-old daughter falls down every time she tries to walk. there is no medicine here to cure them. >> the united nations says over 200,000 people live in besieged areas where conditions are deteriorating by the day. many of them are not being reached because of the fighting and the lack of access. >> the problems of getting aid in are eminutes and growing since the sixth of december we've been able to get virtually nothing in, and this is the population which has been living for years under a siege a very cruel siege. part of the problem is that we

just don't get clearance from syrian authorities. there are problems, and the civilians are the ones paying the high price. >> and they have been appealing for help. u.n. officials have requested to get in aid access across into syria, but they say they've had little impact. >> u.n.'s envoy to yemen said that he's disappointed that she yeah houthi rebels have ignored demands to end the crisis. they have called on houthies to withdraw from government constitutions, release those under house arrest, and stop taking unilateral action. they worn warned that no single group can rule over the whole country. >> radical operatives affiliate ed to many sides are working

towards the ongoing negotiations. no one side would be able to dominate by use of force and any party ruling by military might is deluded and is turning to a long-term conflict like that in libya or syria. >> a thousands in a cargo ship rescued off the coasts of italy. coming up in sport. details of australia's record-breaking score at the cricket world cup. >> 23 confirmed dead. the coal mine is in the center of ukraine's coal-production

heart land. it's one of the world's most dangerous mines. in november 2007 101 people died there. 57 others were killed in another incident two a month later. >> after the blast came the confusion. >> suddenly there was dust everywhere. and people were growing. >> there was an explosion. it's unknown where the people are what condition they're in. >> most of the 230 men who entered the mine were evacuated. some with horrific wounds. >> there was a bang, and then it threw me so hard that i threw for three or four meters. immediately the heat, the

temperature rose. and here are the consequences. and then the temperature became a little lower and we slowly started crawling out. >> for the families of those who didn't make it out there was wait and worry. >> he was supposed to retire next year. on tv they said that 32 people died, but nobody tells me anything. >> ukrainian prime minister says the separatist government that controls the mine we need entry in experienced mine rescue workers he september. >> i gave instructions to send six brigades. each composed of ten people. but the russian terrorists did not give the opportunity for the rescue brigade to get to the site and to help to pull out people and save the lives.

>> the separatist government said that those can rescuers were not needed. >> in ukrainian territory there are only two complete, and the third one is incomplete. so we have more than enough people and equipment for saving people so we don't need any help for the moment. >> then there is the questiondefined

by mistrust and resentment stoked by years of bad feelings and spurred by illegal and misguided practices it is not difficult to imagine how a single tragic incident set

off a city of ferguson like a powder keg. >> let's go to the latest in washington, d.c. give us more of the background to this and why it's so significant. >> well, background is that this has been highly anticipated. we knew that the decisions on the two investigations were imminent because eric holder promised as attorney general to release the findings of these investigations before stepping down as attorney general. we know that is expected very soon. it is no surprise that this came down. but there are surprises in the findings. it was found in the first investigation whether or not the civil rights of michael brown were violateed when he shot and killed michael brown. in conducting a number of numerous eyewitness interviews,

there was no proof that officer darren wilson violated michael brown's civil rights under u.s. law. you she had point out it's a very difficult case to prove and the burden of prove is very high. however there, was a second investigation looking into the broader police practices of the ferguson police department, and that's where this bias was proven to be quite scathing in the report. >> has anything changed in the last few months that would make the outcome any different if something similar happened again? >> nothing changed to this point in the report, but there are certainly going to be changes in the future. as part of the investigation the investigators looked at 35,000 pages of reports. they looked at data around arrests and how they were being conducted. they found a distinct pattern of

racial bias. they alleged of police when they made the stops, they would do so without suspicion, arrest people without probable cause and conduct them and use excessive force. what's going to happen now and eric holder in his press conference of the attorney general is very strong about these terms. he said that there will there will be structural i changes and forced compliance to make sure that they work with the department of justice as well as the broader policing government of the federal government to see that there are significant reforms of the future. so that this does not happen again, not only in ferguson, but hopefully it will be a model for other police departments around the united states. >> kimberly halkett, thank you very much, indeed. the trial of the alleged marathon bomber has gotten under way with tsarnaev's lawyers claiming that he did take part of the attack but they said that his brother was the mastermind.

let's go to the latest, live in boston, was this tactic government defense expected? >> yes we've heard surprising news. the dependent said in its opening statements basically he did it. he was going. he was involved in placing these bombs at the finish lines of the boston marathon. they're not disputing that fact at all. they're asking jurors to keep an open mind because what the defense is really trying to do is to keep tsarnaev put to death if and when he's convicted in this case. many thought for sure they would try their best to keep him were

facing the death penalty but nobody expected a short opening statement to include the phrase that is him in the video. >> this idea that perhaps the older brother had been in some way responsible for masterminding it, when will we hear any more about him. >> yes the judge has put restrictions on the defense but in the opening statement the defense started walking down that path, if you will, basically saying that, sure, starnave was there but it was his older brother tamerlan is the one who had the vendetta against americans for crimes against muslims as seen in his eyes. as he was the father figure, his parents were not here in america, that he coerced his

brother into it. the jury selection and then the guilt or innocence phase and then if convicted there will an penalty phase. the judge said most information with regards to how he was raised who influenced him and how tamerlan played into that influence that will be limited in the penalty phase. the judge even in the opening statement there was an objection. the judge said you got to watch the line right there where you get too far into it, but that's clearly where the defense is going with this. >> thank you for bringing us up-to-date with that court case. thank you. coming up this hour indonesia's president tells al jazeera why he won't rebrief drug smugglers. >> we're angry.

>> oil wealth all around, but it's not trickling down to the people. we hear from those who live in nigeria's niger delta. gapbuild >> hands up! >> don't shoot! >> hands up! >> don't shoot! >> what do we want? justice! >> when do we want it? >> now! >> they are running towards base... >>...explosions going off we're not quite sure... >> fault lines al jazeera america's award winning, investigative series...

on al jazeera america

>> al jazeera's investigative unit has tonight's exclusive report. >> from coast to coast. >> people selling fresh water for fracking. >> stories that have impact. >> we lost lives. >> that make a difference. >> senator, we were hoping that we could ask you some questions about your legal problems. >> that open your world. >> it could be very dangerous. >> i hear gunshots. >> a bullet came right there through the window. >> it absolutely is a crisis. >> real reporting. >> this is what we do. >> america tonight. tuesday through friday.

10:00 eastern. only on al jazeera america. >> we go to our top stories here an al jazeera. 33 minorsthe leader of one of mexico's most dangerous drug cartels have been arrested. the second drug lord captured in a week. and u.n. special envoy to libya tells the security council that the situation on the ground is deteriorating rapidly. >> a ship has rescued migrants and refugees off the coast of libya. but ten people died when their body capsized.

it was carrying 130 people when it overturned. >> reporter: a rescue in the mediterranean and a reminder of an ongoing strategy. italy's coast guard picked up a thousand people in the straight of sicily. last year three half thousand people died trying to cross the met terrainan but still with violence continuing, the flow of refugees is speeding up. >> the first two months of this year we have over7,000 crossing the see despite wintery continues despite very rough sea, despite the fact that the waves are five meters high. you can imagine the desperation that takes people to these boats in order to find safety. >> this high level maritime conference in london has heard pleas from far more search and

rescue operations, but delegates in brussels deny that italy has been left alone. >> we have given support for the management in italy and we're coming up with solidarity from europe. >> between october 2013 and october 2014 say saved an estimated 100,000 lives. the budget was $10 million a month. but when it said it couldn't cope, it was taken over by europe's triton, but it receives only $3.2 million a month. >> experts say in receiving

countries, we're pulling irregular migrants into those societies when we know that the principle issue is one of push factors. it is shows issues of war violence and abuse. >> in january and february of this year alone 370 people died tries to cross the mediterranean mediterranean. italy has just resumeed it's naval exercise along the coast but it will take more than that to stop the dangerous boat trips which caused death for thousands of people every year. >> joining me now is amnesty international deputy director, thank you for coming to talk with us. it seems that the rescue attempts from the italian coast guard is getting further and further away from italy. >> well, we're seeing now that disaster is happening further away from italy as you mentioned. part of the reason is that these attempts are failing sooner.

these are rougher seas. usually it's a calm season where boats come in, but we've shown you the desperation of the migrants. >> what about the european response? they were partly responsible for the triton business. at the moment this does not seem to be working particularly well. is there an appetite to make a difference? >> the europe response has been incredibly bad. this morning there was a big press conference saying that it's important to deal with this, yet again there has not been a proposal to deal with it properly in a search and rescue mission. the important thing is that we see triton for what it is, it is a border operation. it does not do search and rescue in principle. we need a much largeer scope for rescue operations. >> what about the scope of what encourages people to take the

risk to go. >> the last few months have proven absolute nonsense. now we're seeing the end of it. thousands of people continue to come. numbers are increasing instead of going down. that's simply not true. >> what appetite is there in europe. we know a lot of governments are under pressure from the right wing efforts to be tough on immigration. presumably it's politically difficult to sell to their electorate to rescue immigrants. >> this is a time when people have to see through this political thug and petty politics. this is where relatively small efforts can save a high number of lives. this talk of urgency the european solution, we hadn't quite seen it before. >> in the meantime, people who are rescued, tell us a bit about

them and where they end up. >> those who end up in fly, for example, they stay in these reception centers fairly bad conditions, and they then have to end up applying for asylum in italy, or they move to a different place in europe, or they're sent back. but obviously that's a difficult situation, and there needs to be burden sharing or rather responsibility sharing from other european governments for that problem. >> thank you very much, indeed. >> thank you. >> u.s. and iran have wrapped up three days of negotiations, and still no deal on the uranium negotiation. tough challenges remain on tuesday israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu urged the u.s. congress to block any deal that allows iran to keep it's nuclear facilities. indonesia's president said that the execution of 11 convicted drug smugglers will go ahead. the prisoners have been transferred to the island where

they'll be executed by firing squad. it includes nationals from australia, brazil, france, nigeria and the philippines. efforts at the highest level to save them appear to have failed. >> we think that these two australians deserve to be punished, but they certainly don't deserve to be executed. that is our position. millions of australians are feeling sick in their guts at the prospect of the execution of these two. i've been saying again and again this is contrary to indonesia's national interest and best values. >> indonesian president widodo said that the excuses won't happen this week, but insists they'll be carried out soon. >> i as president have to follow the constitution, which still allows executions and their verdicts have already been decided by the court. >> you're not only a president but you're a person. i'm sure you have thoughts about

this. feelings about this. >> if you come to the drug rehabilitation centers you'll see the effects drugs have on these people. 4.5 have to be rehabilitated because of drug distribution. don't just look at those who sell drugs. you also have to look at their victims, 4.5 million people. >> but executing them is a very harsh measure. there is no way out. if you make that decision there is no turning back the clock. mistakes could be made. the indonesia justice system is notoriously corrupt. there cannot be other punishment other than just to execute them? >> i'm still convinced that the just system in indonesia, if you look at drug crime, it's still valid and based on facts. when i looked at their clemency, i looked at their cases. how many drugs were they

carrying, how much was distributed, how many kyle kilos were distributed. >> you looked at each individual cases? >> yes. >> have you looked at how much they've changed while in prison. they're doing good work in the prison. >> i think that the decision was already taken by the court. we can't discriminate between people from different countries. one more time, i'm looking at our national interests and i see 4.5 million people whose lives are in ruin, and who need to be rehabilitated. that's what i see. >> and you can see the full interview with the indonesian airport on talk to al jazeera starting on saturday at 4:30 gmt. india's government is investigating how a british tv crew was able to film an interview inside of a prison with a notorious rapist and

murderer on death row. he expressed no remorse of a gang rape of a student on a bus which sparked protest across india. the film has been banned in india. >> it shows the attitude of the convict prisoner business spite being convicted for the offense so his own interview i think will bring it's own appeal. >> the "world health organization" said that there have been no new cases of ebola reported in a week. it's the first time since may of last year that the country has had no new confirmed cases. but there were 132 cases in new guinea and sierra leone. it shows that people are still

reluctant to bring ill relatives to treatment centers. an attack by chaddan groups has cleared boko haram from the town. more than 100 boko haram fighters died in the battle in the northeastern of nigeria. meanwhile, chad's president said he knows where boko haram's leader is hiding and has threatened to kill him if he does not give himself up. almost awful nigeria's oil comes from the niger delta region. but many feel little change no matter who is in power. >> for years they have used the river for oil transport. the village we visited eight years ago back in 2007 the only way to get there was by boat.

the community there is very poor. they wanted the nigerian government to develop its village with some of the delta oil revenue. we have not seen the village in eight years. they say nothings that changed. the community of 60,000 people is still poor. >> we're angry. because we cannot deal. years of oil spills by oil companies have polluted many of the creeks. the united nations say that the oil spills in the niger delta over the past five decades will cost $1 billion and take 30 years to clean up. the water is dark grimy color and it's filthy and smells. people say here that the pollution is killing fish. this man has been fishing since a boy. he's now 42 years old and worries about what is happening to his home. he takes his boat out every

morning. but often does not catch enough for his family to eat and sell. >> i did not catch any fish. i'm suffering. >> the village elders say they're tired of asking the government for help. they're tired of giving jobs to young people who are angry that they're not benefiting from the oil. >> i would not hide it from you that our youth started to behalf for themselves. you say that's why you see pollution. >> the next generation do what they always do at this time of the day. the main concern is which team will win the behalf. their parents worry that the cycle of poverty pollution and crime is what their children have to look forward to if it does not improve. >> five opposition have formed a

coalition government. the poll was called to ease tensions after an attempted coup last august. the army was confined to barracks during the election, which observers said were free and fair. five fighters are battling wildfire raging for a fourth day in one of south africa's favorite tourism centers. >> batting the worldbattling the fire and elements. smoke makes visibility almost impossible. helicopters are spraying much needed water risk being grounded. >> we're trying everything that we can. all the resources that are available. that are available. we use all the resources. firefighters helicopters bombers, everything. >> the city of cape town said that this year's wildfires have

been more widespread. over 1,000 fighters are working around the clock to contain the wildfires across the city. but they are struggling with flareups that are spreading to homes. >> we went left when the smoke was too think and too dangerous. >> there is still a lot of smoke in the area, and it could be days before authorities let them back into their own houses. but it's too late for some. people have lost homes they've lost property. the cost of fighting the fire hasis thousands of dollars as of sunday. al jazeera cape town.

>> people living around the volcano in chile are returning home. it erupted on tuesday forcing thousands into nearby shelters. the volcanic activity calmed within seven hours. a heavy lava flow is not expected but the national geological service is monitoring several communities. usa whistle blower edward snowdon said he would love to return to the u.s. but he does not believe he would get a fair trial. he took asylum in russia after leaking details of the u.s. surveillance program. >> i won't keep it secret. snowdon wants to return home, and we're doing everything possible now to resolve this issue. there is a group of u.s. lawyers and there is a group of german lawyers.

>> in sport the greek as allow the football team resume with conditions. we have more details in a moment. and north korea depicted in a rare collection of art from the secretive state.

>> we're going start with football in chelsea still looking good for a first title.

they maintain their five-point lead over the defending champions manchester city that's because city beat leicester city. in fact, six of the top season were all in action and in spain they beat villareal on wednesday. they go 6-2 on aggregate. they have urged tougher sanctions against racism in football. they say the continent's biggest problem is racism by fans and existing penalties are not going far enough. >> one day we should set an

example, an example is not just a stadium ban or financial sanction. no we should take away points, take away points or relegate the team. at the moment we need in our world the courage to do this, discrimination will stop. but at the moment, we haven't seen it anywhere in the world. >> the greek government lifted the suspension on the country's football league ban. it was the third time this season that professional football was shut down and the newly elected ruling party said that it's determined to tamper out crowd violence. it will resume this weekend but behind closed doors. now cricket with the highest score in world cup history. thrashing with the biggest winning margin in its history.

>> back to australian soil, aussies were out to make amends. his partner was also outstanding as the pair put on the stand of 260. then a rapid contribution of 88 of 94 bowls. faced with an incredible task afghanistan batsmen gave it their all. they moved through to have them all out for 142. up 275 runs win. >> we wanted to turn our form

the border in south korea. offering a rare glimpse of how the country sees itself. it has attracted behavior not just from art lovers. >> the victories tell a story of rare beauty. could this be france? they are according to the title of the show, the hidden treasures of north korea. 147 paintings getting a rare outing here in the south by the collection of 2.5000 bought in cash in north korea over several years by this dutch art dealer. he said it was a mix of individual transaction as well as the officials ones.
