that is america. >> president obama pays tribute to civil rights campaign exercise says the march is not over yet. >> and sport - a perfect run at the cricket world cup. afghanistan with three wins in a row boko haram has become the largest group yet to declare its allegiance to the islamic state of iraq and levant. the announcement came hours after three suicide bombers killed a group of people in maiduguri. we have this report from abuja. >> reporter: another bloody day in northern nigeria. these are suspected attacks by boko haram fighters. medical workers struggle to save

those that they can, a keen that is routine in the north. dozens have been killed. maiduguri, a city where many are displaced. translation: the dead are no the morgue. wounded are being treated. there are reports it was male and if female suicide bombers. >> reporter: hours after the tack the leader of boko haram pledged loyalty to i.s.i.l. they hinted on joining forces to i.s.i.l. before. the timing is important. the group lost ground in the north-east of the country, and some see the plague of allegiance as a desperate attempt to draw i.s.i.l. >> military from nigeria, cameroon niger and chad forced fighters from their bases. the nigerian military took back many towns and villages from the

fighters but face resistance from boko haram. the group has stepped up its attacks on bus stations. this is causing a lot of concern among nigerians, who witnessed such bumps before in other areas. boko haram has waged a 6-year war to carve out an islamic state in northern nigeria. many victims have been children in july 2013. 42 children killed when boko haram stormed dormitories in a bomb attack. in february last year gunmen killed 40 student after throwing explosives in yobbo state. the most high profile attack on a school came in april 2015.

276 schoolgirls were kidnapped by chibok. more than 200 of the girls were missing. we are joined live from the capital abuja. let's start with the kidnapped girls. the government and president jonathan goodluck have been criticized for failing to recover the girls. jonathan goodluck has been slammed for comment made about the girls, condemned as tasteless tasteless. >> absolutely. the initial stage was a sense of denial from the government that the chibok girls have been kidnapped. gradually the raid on the government came to realise that these girls had been taken, and then there was an international effort to try to rescue the girls. no one knows what happened whether the collision disbanded and it's been nearly a year

after the girls had been kidnapped. 219 are still missing. >> now, as far as the pledge of allegiance goes from boko haram to the armed group i.s.i.l. what does that mean. does it mean more global support for boko haram, more weapons for them on the ground? >> well basically boko haram - when it all started, it was an extremist group in the northern part of nigeria, particularly in borneo state, the birth place of the movement. and it was radicalized over time from attacking police and muslim clerics who are opposed to their own form of islam. and they take on the military establishment, and attacking government institutions like schools. now, boko haram is trying to draw i.s.i.l. last year it hinted at something like this, but i think it was blocked by i.s.i.l. because it

was engaged, itself in the middle east. now, with the military from nigeria, cameroon and chad bearing down in different parts of the north-east. it seems like - to many here, it seems like boko haram is getting desperate. trying to draw i.s.i.l. to fight its own war and expanding the links across the world. >> does that mean that this multinational force which is lead by commadhad, is that having success. >> absolutely. so far they have recaptured 30 towns and villages in the north-east. in particular, borneo state. one of the town mentioned - it was attacked and where they killed a dozen of schoolchildren and took over the local government. that area has been liberated bit the army in conjunction with forces from chad, niger and

cameroon, operating in that area. the nigerian army along side other collaborators from the region, like cameroon chad and niger are making progress taking back territories under boko haram control. so far these are not areas. >> thank you for that report from abuj a now a story out of mali. a united nations peacekeeper and two civilians have been killed on an attack. gunmen fired rockets and shells in a compound in the northern town. the spokeswoman for the united nations mission in mali joins me on the line from the capital. first of all can you give us an update on who exactly happened with the u.n. base and the attack that was carried out at

dawn. >> thank you very much. what happened is a terrorist attack. of a complex nature. they attacked from two different bases. from the north and the south and launched 30 shots of mortars, and some of them land the. that will explain the casualties among the men and the population in the fight as well. >> why do you think it will happen now. there has been an attack on a restaurant popular with foreigners. does it indicate that instability, violence, is on the rise in mali. >> at this stage i cannot make

links between what happened. it's a security situation, it's volatile. it has been for quite a while, and for months. i'm talking about... >> but the misty upham mission, we -- but the u.n. mission, we know it's there to facilitate a political protests that's supposed to bring stability from the tuaregs, how is that progressing. >> look, i mean, they are only young. we are checking the fact and trying to work out the significance of the tack after the initialling in nij oars. however obviously, the violence

be directed there after any other actor on the ground. particularly the government quarters. it doesn't help make a prospect of a supplement on the ground and provide stability. obviously these attacks definitely what they contend are attacks that are part of a deliberate attempt to abort progress on the ground, security conditions - making them stable. and the necessary moves that are needed on the ground. >> thank you for taking the time to update us on the situation. speaking to us from the u.n. mission. >> yemen's defence minister arrived in the southern city of aden after escaping house arrest

in sanaa. five of his body guards were killed. abd-rabbu mansour hadi also fled to aiden after being put under house arrest last month in egypt the trial of two al jazeera journalists has been adjourned until march. they made their third appearance in court no cairo. in february mohamed fadel fahmy, a naturalized canadian who give up his egyptian citizenship, and mansour bahrami released op bail after being detained for more than a year. after leaving court they spoke of their frustration with the process. >> everyone here is, i think, we come and respect the court. it's unusual that the witnesses don't come twice in a row and it's seen as an insult to the traditionary. we are caught in it.

>> it's taking too much time. it's hard to get anything done because they don't have proof to say anything. i'm working on it. but it's taking too much time. >> one has been killed and six injured by a bomb. the explosion happened outside a supermarket. the first comprehensive report into the disappearance of malaysian flights mh370 reveals that an underwater beacon factory expired. it's a year since the passenger jet disappeared with 235 passengers and crew. the fate of the plane has become one of the biggest mysteries in aviation history. the search area includes 600,000 square kilometres in the southern indian ocean. it was narrowed to 60,000 square kilometres off the coast of perth in australia, an area about the size of sri lanka. last september sonar devices

began to search below the seen along the yellow arc and will continue over the next month. we go to kuala lumpur. there has been more details coming out about the search. a report has been released by the malaysian authorities. tell us about the underwater beacon battery past the sell-by date and what that could possibly mean. >> yes, it's an interesting fact that came out in a report that is a legally binding document that has to be produced by the authorities to the international partners who are trying to define the plane. it's an obligation. the 500 page report has a fact that the battery itself in this underwater - it had expired. we have to remember that if a plane does hit water and go under, there's more than one

backup system to try to locate it. the system would have had a backup. there are systems such as the flight data recorder and the cockpit conversations and a separate recorder recording the technical data what the plane was doing at the time that it may have crashed into the sea. there are other ways that the emergency services and rescue operations can detect a plane through location beacons. that aside, this report, which is a legal obligation details the status maintenance records, the backgrounds to the crew pilots and cabin crew. the passengers themselves and a general scenario from the time that the plane left kuala lumpur to where it was last recorded. it doesn't bring or help the families in any way. but it gives technical

information to the outside world, and the international investigators as to where they may begin to extend the search in the future. >> okay. as far as the families are concerned, it's been a year out answers as to what might have happened to the plane, and where their loved ones are. they have been holding vigils and ceremonies to mark the anniversary, it's not been marked officially by the malaysian government. >> no, there has been vigils in australia, china and other countries where the people who were on the plane came from. the difficulty for the government is as far as they are concerned, the passengers and crews are missing. another not dead. it's difficult to memorialize or commemorate the days. they kept a low profile.

we have seen a scenario that when a government official or an official from the aviation industry comes out from the press conference and says this is what we know. we have seen distraught and angry families, the government is saying "we have given you all that we know", that statement is not believed by the families. in this case we see the government keeping a low profile. the prime minister made a short staples saying his thoughts are with the families and as far as he is concerned his and the efforts of government continues in frying to located 370, with australia, who earlier this week said they'd wind down the situation, but with other international partners such as indonesia and china. >> families of the passenger and crews wait for the answers.

they are not committed to the church, and thomas takes a look back. >> flight mh370 lost contact with super air traffic control. >> the announcement was one of the biggest aviation mysteries. a search found nothing, then the twists. mh370 had stopped transmitting location information but had been seen by military radar off route, west back across the mala-ben innsuala. the -- mal-asia peninsula. pings picked up suggested they had travelled south. >> according to this new data like mh370 ended in the southern indian ocean. despite search planes flown,

there was no signal found. ships were sent to map the seabed and now exploring it. with three of these dragged behind ship and 4km down. they can detect objects of a square meter up to a kilometre away. >> the boats are mowing the lawn we call it, we start south, it takes 7 days. we go up on a parallel line back to the north. >> so far just over 40% of a priority area of 60,000 kilometres has been searched, but nothing found. we are confident but not certain that the aircraft is in this area.

we know if it is there, as it likely is we will find it. >> if they do a new change begins. it shows the end of a search, marking the beginning. underwater robots go down to vet wreckage looking for the black box. with that, the mh370 mystery can be solved. still to come - a protest in the united states. after police shoot another black teenager. iraq's cultural heritage erased by i.s.i.l. with the instruction of the city of hatra bayern munich go marching on

president obama called on americans to carry force the spirits of the civil rights movements. the black president was speaking in selma on the 50th anniversary of what was known as bloody sunday. patty call han reports. -- culhane reports. >> reporter: symbolism as president obama crossed the edmund pettus bridge, a journey hundreds tried to make 50 years ago today, some to be clubbed by forces. this violence led to the passage of the voting rights act. the president came to pay tribe ute to this courage. >> it was not a clash of armies, but a clash of riddles. a contest to determine the true meaning of america. >> there were dissenting voices in the crowd. when the president was speaking

some chanted not another speech. echoed by michael brown's mother who was here. her son's death at the hands of a police officer which sparked the protests, and the sense that not much has changed in the civil rights movement. >> i was born in '79. i never thought i would see anything like this. >> a federal investigation cleared the police officers that cleared her son. the police department was rife with racism and corruption. the president said that is not proof that the civil rights movement had not made progress. >> i understood the question. the narrative was nam lar. what happened in ferguson is not you teek it's not sanctioned by law or kust some. still, it is proof that there meet to be a renewed focus. >> poverty is a weapon of mass instruction.

this is a time to connect demonstrations and legislation. >> the president called for this crowd to act, to vote to demand change, but the crowd showed a lack of enthusiasm as the day came to a close. >> i thought he would give solutions on the spot. he didn't. a rousing speech. an historical moment. but a limiting question on how the change is to come. meanwhile, a police chief appealed for restraint from the shooting of a black teenager. demonstrators spoke out. police say they were responding to a disturbance, and he was shot after fighting with an officer. the teenager's death sparked shootings which provoked riots.

>> let's get the whether with richard. we have news of heavy snow in northern india. >> that's it's another way which is going through the region bringing snow in many areas, and around the satellite sequence you can see the areas of cloud pushing through, coming from the area where we had heavy snow. enjoying the snow as it's fallen. not a great coughing, if you can see that but the first decent snow fall. lower levels it's been a problem with rain and certainly for new delhi it's been a wet picture, as you can see here, and in lahore it had heavy rain reported. and to give you an idea, we have seen decent totals, 73mm in the suppose of 24 hours. so as we look at the forecast running through monday, you can see it's generally not too bad.

sow the seeds, tend the fields and do much more. many don't, unfortunately, own the land. in this dry region, these women teamed up to grow vegetables. they are able to grow enough to feed their own families and sell what is left over. >> before we used to have to buy everything. now we are able to grow everything. it's not only beneficial to us and our families but others will come and buy from us. some estimates suggest up to 70% of all the food eaten is grown by women. few grow the land they farm. the disadvantage that favour them. that leaves women vulnerable. >> translation: when men take the lead they take the money

and buy alcohol. >> reporter: the benefits of giving women the right to own land and studies prove that women are more likely than men to use the income to benefit not only themselves and the children, but the wider community. mavis won multiple awards for her farming. the former school teacher started growing to combat malnutrition of local children. it's been so successful she's mentoring other women to farm. >> they are going to feed the children take them to schools and do anything for the whole family. >> mavis is developing the whole community, any profits she makes she puts back into a breakfast programme. susan is the head of the rural women's movement and a campaigner of women's land rights and says securing the
