g. entertaining. talk to al jazeera. sunday, 6:30 eastern. only on al jazeera america. suicide bombers target two crowded motion -- mosques in yemen's capitol killing at least 90 worshippers. i'm lauren taylor this is al jazeera live from london. also coming up a museum attack in tunisia adds extra urgency to talk talks talks in libya.

hello, a series of attacks targeting houthi rebels have killed at least 90 people in yemen. three suicide bombers detonated ex expleasives at mosques. >> reporter: the attackers new the mosques would be packed for friday prayers. in the heart of yemen's capitol, two mosques were targeted. both longed to a second of shia islam, the power base for houthi fighters who control the capitol. witnesses say the first explosion was inside the mosque another went off at the gate when people fled. more attackers targeted another mosque. rescuers struggled to deal with the high number of casualties. one after the other, dozens of bodies were taken out. the hospitals appealed for blood

donations. the attacks happened a day after intense fighting at the airport in the southern port city of aden. that's where yemen's president has been trying to build a power base ever since he was forced out of the capitol by the houthi advance. for hours intense battles raged between his supporters and fighters two support another former president, saleh. as these skirmishes continued an air strike hit another part of adan. houthi righters deny being behind the attack. >> translator: what is happened today is a crime to be condemned by everyone in yemen. everyone knows in yemen there is coalition between al-qaeda and hah -- hadi. >> reporter: there has been unzest elsewhere as well.

these prescribesmen say they are carrying out military maneuvers to defend against any houthi attacks. >> translator: if the enemies want to attack us we will also attack them. >> translator: we can't trust the houthis. we have no confidence in any agreement signed by them. >> reporter: the battle to control yemen is between shia houthis, sunni tribes and al-caddyeralka da fighters. u.n. brokered stalktalked have resumed in morocco between the libyan government. it's hoped by sunday an agreement will be reached on the formation of a unity government but with a new prime minister. adding urgency to the talks

wednesday's museum attack in tunisia, they gunmen were trained in libya. and they warn if they can't stopped in libya, they could go on to europe. >> translator: they come from sudan to the desert and always by sudan by planes. what we need are weapons and ammunition only. the men are available. the army is growing every day, and increasing in number. isil fighters concentrate on libya, because libya is a petro state with a small population and a vast land. it's easier for them to spread. they thought it would be easy to control, and they can employ libya's resources from oil, gas, gold and uranium for their movement. >> hashem talk of a new sense of urgency surrounding this. do you think it will bring the parties any closer together any

faster? >> reporter: well, they are definitely under mounting pressure by the international community to set their differences aside, and stitch together a political settlement. the united nations top envoy said he is concerned about the escalation in violence and he wants both sides to make some concessions for the sake of peace, and he said he is very concerned about the spread of groups affiliated with isil in different parts of libya. let's listen to what he had to say. >> this should be a decisive moment because we are as i said before in -- in previous meetings running out of time. you know that in the last days we have seen more fighting. we have seen air strikes. we have seen more actions by daesh, not only in libya, but also in the region.

>> and you mentioned this idea that each side had to concede something. what are the big things that each side has to give to make this work? >> reporter: well basically the government, which is recognized by the international community and the u.n. says it remains the ultimate legitimate authority in libya, and whatever the out come, they have to be recognized as the only unique authority in libya. the tripoli based government says no. the reason why we're here is because we don't recognize the tobruk parliament therefore, we have to come together form a government and give the prime minister full authority over libya, so we can move forward. and this is something that the united nations along with the americans and the europeans are trying to come up with. if they can form a national unity government here, that would be good news because then

they can move forward to step number two, which is disarming the tack shuns. forming a government and starting the fight against groups affiliated with isil. then on monday we'll travel to brussels to present his documents of elements of what could be a political settlement for the international community. >> all right. thank you hashem. well as you heard there, tunisia is saying that two gunmen who carried out an attack on the bardo museum in tunisia were trained in libya. thousands have marched to condemn the attack. isil has claimed responsibility for the shootings. the european union has agreed to increase security participation with tunisia. leaders are discussing ways

to help unify the rival governments in libya. but think e.u. says it will not about without an official request from the u.n. >> reporter: the whole situation in libya, well the dominated the second day of this summit in brussels and although a short on detail proposals on how the european union is going to get involved everyone was pretty much seen from the same hem sheet. this institution is very much willing to stand by the libyans, but only in the event of a political deal and once a national unity government has been put into place. the european union is partly funding the talks, and they really feel they have an investment in the outcome of those talks. we're not talking about a huge military commitment, but we are talking about observer status missions to build up the libyan national army.

we may see european troops on the ground. that kind of thing, which for the european union would be quite a departure from its normal activities. why is this all of a sudden such a big priority? because of the situation deteriorating so rapidly, and the realization that libya is very much on the doorstep of its borders to the south. it's clearly the jumping off point for this terrible ongoing migration issue, and with the rise and the spread of isis in libya, i think that's really focusing people's minds and for the first time really they realize this is a problem in their back garden in their neighborhood, and they need to do something about it. sky gazers have been treated to a rare celesteal show a total

eclipse. the best view was from the archipelago, and the ferrell islands. >> reporter: they say it is all about timing and when it all comes together in the skies it does so so spectacularly. at first contact it looked as if the moon had taken a bite out of the morning sun. and there was one place to look in the faroe eyeislands and that was up. >> the one is shining on the water, and then it gets completely dark out there, that's the -- you cannot see the eclipse, but you can see the result. >> reporter: then darkness descended like a blanket.

this is one of only two places in the world to experience this total eclipse. we're now in totally. the moon has cast its shadow over where we are. a few minutes ago, it was light, now look at it we're in darkness and it feels very quite eerie. cloud obscured some of the celestial features during the eclipse, but now the moon could clearly be seen. then out of the shadows, we were back into the light. >> i have tears in my eyes almost. so it was incredible. >> reporter: this eclipse has brought more than 9,000 sky gazers from across the world to the faroes all hoping to witness something special in spite of the clouds. >> it makes you aware of the immenseity of the universe.

the biggest area of disagreement is given they all really effect each other in some way. on our side obviously we're very concerned about iran's pathways to a nuclear weapon whether that's uranium enrichment, or plutonium, and iran is most focused on the sanctions. so we're up against the deadline, and hopefully we can make more progress. >> you mentioned the idea of what iran can do and how it can do it. is that an issue of narrowing down the number of centrifuges for instance? >> well, that's part of it. but as i have learned a lot from our nuclear experts. there is an equation that would get them to enough material for a nuclear weapon. in that is numbers of centrifuge

centrifuges, what type of centrifuges, how they are stockpiled. so all of those numbers and factors go into on equation. >> do you all agree amongst yourselves in terms of the u.s. u.k. france ger -- germany and so on on how long the restrictions should be in place? >> within the p5-plus-1, and the e.u. of course is also a member of these negotiations we are in lock step inside the negotiating room on what our positions are. we obviously all have national positions, but we are very united, i think is pretty extraordinary. on this we're working together we're on the same page and we're trying to get it done. >> can you give us a little hint of something.

it seems you splash a bit of gratitude and then dash home. and the person at home wonders what has been achieved. >> well it's a great question. sometimes i feel the same way, talking about each round after we're done with them. but if people remember when we finished the joint plan of action, there were a lot of discussions and negotiations and at the end pretty much 24 hour a day work until we got to the agreement. we are pushing up against the end of march, and we with closer today than we were yesterday, than we were a week ago. it's really about chipping away at this issue, but at the end of the day, iran has some big decisions to make. i think you will see, probably a lot of diplomatic activity leading up to the 31st. >> thank you very much indeed. syrian opposition forces
