thank you. >> thank you. >> announcer: this is al jazeera. ♪ hello, welcome to the al jazeera news hour live from our headquarters in doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes. [ gunfire ] [ shouting ] >> chaos in southern yemen, gun battles erupt between rival groups leaving planes stranded on the runway. nine tooem are arrested in tunisia following a deadly attack on the few -- museum in

the capitol. and it's the stuff of science fiction. but it's a real concern it could leave millions unemployed. ♪ we begin in yemen where president hadi has fled his residence in aiden amid escalating violence. two jets reportedly launched air strikes on the palace and hadi's forces responded with gunfire. it was centered near the international airport, and there are reports two shells hit the ground. imran khan has the latest. >> reporter: in many ways this is a battle not between two rival groups but between two men. forces loyal to president hadi

retake the airport from forces loyal to the former president. it was a short but tough battle lasting four hours. the special forces unit fighters had reused to give up their arms and fortify themselves within their barracks. and then they attacked the airport. the fighting got so intense the airport was shut down and passengers taken off of planes and back into the terminal. hadi fled the capitol last month. he insists he remains yemen's legitimate heard and is trying to build a power base in the south. if his supporters were able to take control of the airport, it would have weakened his ability. >> let's bring in a political analyst. tell us what you are hearing

about the situation in the south in aden and the whereabouts of the president. >> very tense right now. the aircraft the prohouthi aircraft are still roaming the skies of aiden right now. the president left the presidential palace just minutes after the first air strike. there were two one in the presidential palace and one in downtown aden. the president left to an unknown location, but according to a senior aid we talked to he is safe and unharmed there are hundreds of militants on the streets from both sides, majority prohadi, they are trying to make sure they are control on the ground though they are not in control of the skies of aden right now. >> this is the first time we have seen fighting in the south. why did the houthis take their fight to aden?

>> the houthis know that the negotiations and talks over the last couple of months have been stalled by allies of hadi and they have gone nowhere. the houthis are set up and feel it's time for them to enforce their decisions whether the political actions agree or not, whether the international community is supporting them or not, and since they have the military and air force under their control, just three days ago, they reassigned 14 new officials to the airport to ensure if any air raids are conducted their orders are not ignored. this is the result of it today as well as yesterday. senior houthi official was assassinated in sana'a so the houthis don't want the war to take place in sana'a but ensuring if there are clashes it will be in aden not in the

capitol. >> who is in control of yemen right now? >> in the north, many parts of the north the houthis are in control. the houthis control the majority of the northern army. everything is under their control. now they are very weak in the south. that is why they needed to infiltrate their militants secretly in the south in the last couple of days because they have no base there. the houthis are a pro [ inaudible ] movement where in the south of yemen they are 99% sunni. so the reason why the houthis are in control in the south is because of their religious backgrounds which help them. and that's why hadi fled to aden in the first place last month. >> thank you hakeem. editor and chief of the yemen post. and we are getting reports that at least ten people have been killed in fighting between

houthi fighters and armed sunni tribesmen in marreeb in central yemen. the oil rich area has experienced sporadic fighting between the houthis and the tribesmen, some of who support al-qaeda. we'll bring you more as that comes us to. moving on to tunisia and nine people have been arrested following the attack of a museum in the capitol on wednesday. 24 foreign tourists and one tunisia policeman was killed when guardmen stormed the museum in tunis. let's cross to jacky rowland now who is in tunis for us. the military now deployed. i imagine security being beefed up across the country. >> reporter: yes. during the day, high-level

meetings have been held between political officials and also the top command of the police and the army reviewing exactly how to respond to the attack on wednesday and also how to pursue not just attackers who may have been involved in the events of wednesday, but also others who could be potentially planning other similar activities across tunisia. so the army has been sent to towns around the country, check points have been set up on major roads. identities have been checked. focus very much as well on the borders and on the capitol city. the prime minister a short while ago gave more details about the security measures and he also acknowledged that mistakes had been made and that there had been security lapses at the museum. he said that tunisia was now

engaged in a war on terror. >> translator: we will be putting in place check points that will be manned and supervised by the national army. both the national army and security personnel will intensify their patrols across the nation. joint patrols will also be conducted. >> jacky what are the wider political implications of wednesday's attack? >> reporter: well, really tunisia has been woken up if you like from the peaceful transition peaceful democratic transition that by and large it had been going through since it began -- since the arab spring began here four years ago. yes, there have in the past been isolated attacks by militant fighters. the police have carried out a

number of raids, but there has been nothing like the level of intense violence that we have seen in libya, in syria, or even in places like egypt, particularly in the sinai. what happened on wednesday has really if you like shaken tunisia up and is forcing it actually now to take a stand during -- in the events that are sweeping the broader area. i think it was very notable the prime minister and the president have both used the words war on terror. tunisia is going to be we have heard coordinating more closely with foreign partners. it has already been talking to france. and we know the french interior minister is due here in tunis on friday. i think we can see a greater political aligning now of tunisia with other countries who are fighting the threat of these

kinds of attacks. >> jacky, thank you very much for that. jacky rowland for us in tunis. wednesday's deadly attack was the first on civilians in tunisia since the 2011 revolution. al-qaeda and other groups are present in the country, but usually target political figures. an opposition leader was murdered an al-qaeda member was blamed and tunisia's army upped its campaign against armed groups. fast forward to december last year where the military says it carried out a mission in the mountains clearing out search camps. february 17th brought the first deadly assault on government forces. four guards were killed by members of al-qaeda-linked group in the central region. the following day, 100 people were arrested suspected of preparing multiple attacks across the country. and four days ago authorities

found rocket launchers, rifles and explosive materials in what they called a terror hide oui in the southeast of the country. tunisian politicians were in a debate on new anti-terror when the attack happened on wednesday. >> the go-ahead should not be a green light to do -- or to -- to -- let's say to -- to misuse violence from the security forces. we need to strike the right balance between -- let's say use of force, but guarantee the right of -- let's say in the international standards. and this challenge is not only tunisians this challenge is the challenge of most countries

facing terror attacks and facing violence. we saw this die mem la in europe australia, the u.s. and even canada after the last attacks. so this is one of the very -- let's say most serious legal challenge for tunisia post revolution. we are applying the new constitution. we are trying to apply it by the law. to libya now where the tripoli based government is blaming its rival for holding up peace talks. it says forces loyal to the underrecognized government in tobruk targeted tripoli's only working airport to stop negotiators from traveling to the u.n.-brokered talks. our correspondent joins us from rabat where the talks are supposed to be taking place. hashem, when are we expecting these talks to officially begin? >> reporter: well we know now

that the tripoli based delegation has finally managed to takeoff from the airport, and that they are expected to be here in the moroccan capitol here in rabat in two hours. so basically the united states says it is expecting talks to resume later in the evening. the united nations special representative is going to talk to a delegation from tobruk and then a delegation from tripoli to pave the way for both parties to talk face-to-face and start debating the major issues that have so far hampered unity in libya. >> just a few days ago, the u.n. envoy, of course we heard him talking about how this was a decisive phase for these talks, conveying a sense of urgency if you will. once everyone makes it to morocco what are the urgent issues they will be dealing with? >> reporter: there are two major

issues one is political and the second is related to security. basically the united nations is hoping to have both governments to agree on an national unity government to overcome this whole issue about who has the final legitimacy in libya. we are the ones who have been voted by the people the tripoli say we are the ones that have the backing of the constitutional court. the tendency is to have an international unity government. in that detail will go to security arrangements disbanding the militias declaring a ceasefire, forming a national unity government and to start the fight against groups affiliated against isil. to achieve that goal is extremely important because, their concern is if you have

divisions, and civil war in the country, groups like isil who are trying to take control of the eastern part of the country are going to further expand creating more havoc and chaos in northern africa. >> thank you so much hashem. there's much more ahead on the al jazeera news hour. a victory against boko haram. solders retake a town in northeastern nigeria. plus brazil's president reveals a crackdown on corruption. and india in their world cup quarter final against bangladesh in melbourne those highlights coming up in sports. ♪ first, the yags human rights office says the islamic state of iraq and the levant fighters have committed genocide. the case is being referred to

the international criminal court for prosecution, the u.n. alleges isil committed war crimes and crimes against humanity. cases of killings torture, rape and sexual slavery carried out by isil fighters. isil fighterings forced people to convert to islam, and forced children to fight for them. the genocide comes from attempts to wipe out the yazidis in iraq. the chief investigator on the report says many minority groups were targeted inside of iraq. >> with the yazidis in particular, we are finding the information we gathered points strongly to genocide because they were specifically targeted. they were -- the intention to destroy the group was very very clear from the onset. and what we were able to document was a consistent pattern where isil fighters came in to the yazidis areas and

separated men and boys over the age of 14, took to locations such as ditches, nearby villages and then basically shot them. shot them dead and we were able to interview some survivors. we received information on possible war crimes being committed by militia and even iraqi state forces who are alleged to have perpetrated killings torture, and abductions which could amount to war crimes in their counter offensive against isil. this report documents some of these violations and will be presented at the human rights council next week, and this will be an opportunity to engage the iraqi government on some of thesish yous. in egypt the retrial of two al jazeera journalists has been adjourned until next wednesday, baher mohamed, and mohammed fahmy are accused of the now

banned muslim brotherhood, charges they and al jazeera deny. the postponement came after a brief court session where for the first time witnesses took to the standing. natasha ghoneim reports. >> reporter: three men who wrote a report and provided video for the prosecution took the stand in cairo. one after the other. the men said they either didn't see the videos write the report, or remember what they wrote. an appeals court has already ruled there wasn't enough evidence to convict baher mohamed, and mohammed fahmy last year. they are accused of aiding the banned muslim brotherhood. mohammed and fahmy along with their colleague peter greste spent more than 400 days in jail. legal experts have called the charges against them baseless. last month, graes ta was deported to his native australia, and a judge released mow maw med and fahmy on bail. fahmy is also a canadian citizen, and he was hoping he would be deported.

now the two must check in with the police every day. mohammed recently said he feels fortunate. >> i am happy i will not stay in prison. i'm happy i'm going back to my family. >> reporter: this day in court may have been encouraging for both men, but they can only remain hopeful they'll eventually be able to clear their names. natasha ghoneim, al jazeera. a court in myanmar has sentenced two journalists to two months in prison for defamation. they were charged in february last year. their newspaper published remarks named by an unnamed politician that military representatives in myanmar's parliament had a low level of education. they say they are being targeted as a campaign of intimidation. two australians convicted of drug trafficking in indonesia

will not be executed this month. lawyers for the two men are asking the president to reconsider their application for clemency. they were arrested as part of the bali nine group. they are due to be executed by a firing squad. international coalition fighting boko haram has drivened the group out of a town in northeastern nigeria. 228 boko haram fighters were reportedly killed during the operation. >> reporter: if these reports about major towns being recaptured from boko haram by the military are accurate, it could mean the beginning of the end of the boko haram insurgency according to the military over the last four weeks various towns have been recaptured towns like bag ga which was the scene of at least two massacres,

and now at town. two days ago the military spokesperson tweeted that several towns are free by our military hashtag never again. referring to the three states that have been worst affected by the boko haram crisis. however, the military previously announced the capture and killing of the boko haram leader, only for him to then appear on youtube videos dates later. so nobody is holding their breath. nobody is saying it is all over but if the reports are to be believed the end of boko haram according to the military is on the horizon, the impact on the election has to be positive. the poll is to be held on 28th of march, and security has been a major concern. the ability of people in the region to vote as been a major concern, so if the security

situation has improved the belief is the election will go off peacefully and safely. brazil's president has announced a series of new measures to crack down on corruption. she is trying to counter growing calls for her impeachment. >> reporter: responding to a wave of anti-government protests brazilian president rousseff announced a series of anti-corruption measures on wednesday. if passed the measures would bar those with a criminal record from running for office criminalize slush funds and allow for the seizure of assets for those guilty of corruption. >> translator: we have to open our eyes wide and say the time for brazil to put an end to this process, crimes and practices that continue to corrode our insides, the time is now. >> reporter: the announcement comes on the same day that new

polls showed rousseff's popularity falling to an all time low. they said the presidency was bad or terrible. awls on wednesday there were several protests against rousseff in many cities. >> translator: she is a manipulator, and she is manipulated by the former president. >> reporter: rousseff's popularity has crashed amidst a con controversy. they are linked many of our party to kickbacks from the

state-run oil company. meanwhile pro-rousseff protests held last week only attracted a few thousand people. thousands of demonstrators have marched through car car -- caracas. the u.s. issued sanctions on seven venezuelan officials. the president accuses the u.s. of plotting to oust him. uruguay has some of the strongest anti-tobacco laws in the world. but as daniel schreiber reports, the tobacco industry is starting to fight back. >> reporter: 80% of these packets are covered in warnings. rotting teeth.

sexual impetus, damage to lungs and the unborn baby. for uruguay they are part of a campaign they believe saves lives. but the tobacco giant is suing uruguay for what it says are unfair trade practices. >> translator: many countries are waiting to see how this case ends. so they can continue with their own anti-tobacco measures but as we wait thousands are dying. >> reporter: the man behind the president is the recently reelected president who introduced the laws in 2006 during his first term in offs. thef dense says that they are working, that less uruguayans are smoking. >> i couldn't sleep. i shook from the tobacco but i gave up. i did it. four months without smoking. now i feel line. i want to live for my children. >> reporter: the city government runs this clinic to help smokers

quit and then stay off of tobacco, this woman now 51 started smoking age 12, stealing cigarettes from her mother. oscar started at 13. >> translator: i went five years without smoking. i quit smoking, but i started again, so i'm back here trying to give up once more. >> reporter: uruguay is back id by the world health organization. many countries are watching with interest for the results of its war on smoking. you have to look hard to find a packet of cigarettes in uruguay, the philosophy being, if you can't see them then you won't be tempted. let's see what they have in this kiosk. i have got two packets here, 80% of the packaging covered in warnings, designed to make smoking as unappealing as possible. the irony perhaps is that uruguay was the first country in

the world to legalize the sale and production of marijuana. but uruguayans especially the young ones still smoke tobacco. >> in ten years working here. we never see youngsters. we need to find a way of reaching them too. >> reporter: tax on cigarettes already at 70% is going up. and more warnings are on the way, the battle are the tobacco industry, and uruguayan smokers is still far from over. there's much more ahead on the program, including tiger skins, rhino horns, and bear cub meat. i'm in doha and i'll tell you how art is being used to raise awareness about the disabled. and in sport, an italian court decides whether or not

u.s. and iranian diplomats have been negotiating for four days now to try to reach an agreement over iran's nuclear program. the two sides have until the end of the month to finalize a deal. james bayes sent us this update. >> reporter: intense diplomatic negotiations continue. seven different delegations in the hotel behind me. the main part of the negotiation is between the u.s. and iran, a meeting of over an hour between secretary of state and foreign minister, after which both said they were taking progress but there were still tough issues to be resolved. the iranians making it clear, they are prepared to stay beyond the weekend when the iranian new year starts. it seems we do potentially have some problems coming from within the p5-plus-1, the international group negotiating with iran. it seems that france is not happy potentially with some

the trial or the appeal to the supreme court. somebody finally raised the fact that this boy was a minor at the time of his conviction. and the supreme court jekted that ground saying under pakistani law if you don't take a particular objection at the trial stage you can't really raise it in the objection stage. the number of workers both in the legal fraternity and in the ngo sector are working to get this boy within the paradigm of those -- of those structures. however, as i said earlier, since at the time of the trial all the way through to the supreme court, nobody realized that this boy was in fact 14. now under the constitution of pakistan, the only thing left to do is for the constitutional documents provides the president with the power to pardon or commute the sentence.
