>> announcer: this is al jazeera. from al jazeera's headquarters in doha. this is the newshour. coming up in the next 60 minutes, saudi arabia continues to pound yemen and says it destroyed all of houthi's airplanes. people head back to the polls in nigeria after a technical glitch forces officials to extend voting tens of thousands crowd the streets of singapore to bid

farewell to leader lee kuan yew. >> and all the sports including the latest from the contribute world cup fine in melbourne, where australia is facing new zealand and are closing in on the fifth world title first to yemen where saudi arabia is showing no sign of easing the military campaign against houthi rebels. for a fourth night war planes hit targets across the country. saudi arabia described the mission as a success, saying that it destroyed all houthi airplanes and communication centers. one air strike in the port city killed dozens of fighters. houthis are on the move. they are reported to be marching to the city of aden. all this as in the north they continue to hit from the air.

more from hashem ahelbarra. >> reporter: air strikes hit targets across the country, including in sanaa. jets from the saudi arabia-led coalition bombed the airports and long-range rocket launches in sadr and some other places. this is the aftermath of an attack on the capital - destroying helicopters, fighter jets and a fuel facility. the saudis deployed thousands of soldiers along the border to share with yemen. saudi-led air strikes seem to weaken houthi fighters who start to retreat from areas in the south, according to sources. sunni tribes me are on the move to recapture areas lost in the last few weeks. these are houthi fighters killed in an ambush while in the southern city. the arab league summit in egypt

has been dominated by yemen's deteriorating situation. air strikes will continue until the houthis and deposed president dispel their militias. they also insist that president abd-rabbu mansour hadi, who has fled the country, is yemen's legitimate leader. abd-rabbu mansour hadi sacked ali abdullah saleh's son from his post as yemen's ambassador to the united arab emirates. this comes after the media reported that ali abdullah saleh was in riyadh a day before the allies launched the attack. the reports suggest the former yemeni president was willing to turn against the houthis if international sanctions against him are lifted.

the saudis apparently no longer trust salah. they are accused of destabilizing the region lots to talk about, let's bring in the deputy director of the brookings doha center. good to have you with us. yemen dominating the headlines and we were watching sharm el-sheikh. clarify the situation. we didn't hear in the final communique that endorsement of heads of state for the joint arab military force. is it endorsed is it enough that it was mentioned by the foreign ministers. where are we at that? >> that's a good question and observation. i think we have to distinguish between two matters. one is the will and the tension and desires of the arab leaders. and the implementation of how far can we go with the military

force. >> is this a proposal that is put into practice. is that what you are saying. >> we need to see. first of all, the idea has been clearly communicated and we have to admit that saudi arabia was able to secure a strong seat of support for an idea and for the work in yemen at the moment. now how to put this into practice and implement or create a force. it's a huge question. that's why i think the arab leaders left the door open for how they are going to go about this - who will create it who will finance it. these are unanswered questions. i think the idea left that to get a political support, but without making a commitment in terms of creating or putting a roadmap to it until further deliberations. >> meanwhile, there is a conflict burning in yemen.

reading between the lines of what you are saying one assumes if there is an arab force going into yemen, it will not be this joint arab force under the mandate. if they have all the details to work out. >> you are right, and absolutely not. it's not so unexpected. the whole idea is political support and saudi arabia was successful in this. >> there's a lot of support. >> yes, a lot of firm support from arab leaders. and saudi arabia is going to fight this war. we know all of that. also the stage were there has to be a serious involvement on the ground. and saudi arabia taking the lead. and on how the war is going to proceed. >> it's clear that saudi arabia is taking the lead.

what is needed again is the political support at in stage, and for future conflicts that might appear and unfortunately the region is full of those in libya. that's probably what they are walking about. but we expect such a force will take their part in yemen or in the near future to see it up and running and working from a specific country. >> you are right. the world is full of conflict. regardless of what the analysts say, there's need for reform in the arab world to come up with systems of government that are reflective of issues and interest. it's clear, listening to the rhetoric, that on the agenda of arab leaders, it's about stability, not reform.

>> this summit is about yemen, not about anything else. it's about security national security for the arab region and saudi arabia is taking the lead in this. it doesn't have any of the long-standing problems that the arab region faces. even palestine, one of the most important subjects that dominate the summit in the past was barely mentioned. it's more focussed on yemen and iran's security towards looking to the east and iran and no development and know institution. no freedom. no addressing of one of the issues in egypt. where they are deeply divided between the muslim brotherhood and all of that.

all the issues were marginalized in the summit including the issue which would have taken a more obviously position. if anything the situation is getting worse than we used to see in the past. again, if this is going to lead to the creation of an arab force, then we might have thought differently. at this point it's all about lip service, and intentions and desires. and all of that. and implementation to hold the argument that we need to have in the future. >> interesting. once again the cry of war drowns out all other voices at this stage yemen's neighbours are feeling the effects of the conflict. ships and commercial flights have been diverted to djibouti. we go to the east african

nation's port to see how they are coping. >> this is the port of djibouti. it is proving a test to the claim. the port is 5km from yemen. it's experiencing an increase of traffic as ships divert here. seven ships have arrived. five oil tankers and two containers. >> we are assisting them to give them all the infrastructure are and the handling they need in the port to discharge all the goods, and to free the ships. they are very costly to keep a ship waiting. very costly. some cost up to 50,000 u.s. a day. djibouti sits across a vital maritime corridor providing access.

with only 5km across it's the strait that separates djibouti. >> 4% of the trade passes through the street. much of it on the way to and from the canal. officials expect ships to be diverted in the coming days and they have the capacity to humble the traffic. air traffic increased. following the closure of yemen's air base and fights on the carrier also diverted to djibouti. these are some of the passengers stranded in djibouti. >> we came from egypt. we have sick people children and families, more than 20 people who have surgery. we appeal to the gulf nations and the president to help us return home. >> reporter: authorities are preparing for an influx of refugees and are preparing for

5,000 people in a town 180 mms mms -- 180km from here. aid workers say it could be more that that as many refugees in southern yes could flee back. -- yemen could flee back. hundreds of voters in nigeria will get another chance. polling stations will open for another day after violent attacks and technical glitches. we have this report from the capital abuja. >> reporter: raphael casts his vote for a new president and parliamentarian at the national assembly office polling station in abuja. he is one of 60 million taking part. things went smoothly, but the process is happening in 120,000 locations across the country.

>> i believe that the person i vote for can take us to the left-i want this country to go in the issue of unemployment and security. >> reporter: but as expected there was violence in the north. several were killed in yobe and gombe state. thousands of agents were deployed to protect voters. in kadona state where there's election related violence voting was delayed. hundreds were in the last election. voters were undeterred. i shouldn't be afraid. my hands is behind. there's nothing hear. choosing my leader is in my

hands. if i do it. even though somebody is angry with what i did, well it doesn't have anything to do with my life. what is it? >> thousands of foreign election observers monitor the vote. thousands of permanent election cards, pvcs were used for the first time. >> they are taking the pvcs and are making sure that is aligned with the card reader. sometimes it's taking a bit of time. sometimes they try one, two, three, four times. until they identify you are the right person. >> the incumbent voted in his state. the main opposition candidate did two. it is expected to be a tight race for the top job between the two men. >> that was ynonne ndedge. we cross to our correspondent live from lagos, an important

city. i know some counting has started. i read reports how they were counting under flashlights. it's early minutes. any indication about where this vote is heading? >> well it's too early to tell. we are seeing at the moment areas where the ruling party, the pvp has a stronghold. in lagos, it's too early to tell. votes are trickling in. it's tricky complicate. over the years the ruling pvp managed to gain ground. they are concerned that things could be tense once results are announced. it's a typical street congested and a lot of boys operate.

should a side not be happy with the result it pays the boys the men to come and cause havoc. that's if a group is not happy with the result. at the moment too early to tell if the side is leaving. >> thinks were a little stuck with the new voting system, and an attack on the election commission office. how much smoother are things going today. >> well in lagos things are slow - can i say people are frustrated. let me show you what is going on. this is a typical polling station. people were not able to get accredited. things were not working. now they go to the whole process. they are accrediting what they have to do making sure the names are on the list. that machine is the card reader

the reason many couldn't vote. it was not working. things are now working and should be fine and officials encouraged people to come out. people are frustrated when they have to do it. you come back in a few hours time and then you vote. when you came here there is a lot of people. polling stations late. people say what is going on. why are things not up to scratch. why were they voting the other day. for now, the people came out to vote. they are hoping to have the results announced soon. nauru mutasa there. >> two journalists have been detained held by the military since tuesday. both were embedded with the military in the north-east before being detained. al jazeera is demanding their

release. you're watching the al jazeera newshour. still to come - a fight for food. desperate people in sierra leone defy a lock down and scuffle to get supplies. plus... >> i'm daniel schweimler in la paz, where the indigenous voice is yelling loud. and never turn your back on your opponent. we'll have the race for the n.b.a. play-offs and more in sport. tunisian forces killed in a security raid. it was in the southern region and the gafsa region. the men were linked to an attack on a museum. it attracted thousands of people

to march in solidarity in the attacks. they are rallying in support of the victims, most of whom were tourists. we are joined live. good to have you with us. let's start first naz reen with the march. has the attack brought about a greater level of unity? >> i think if you speak to tunisians, they would say the attack was about polarizing tunisia. and the march is about showing solidarity to the tourists. you have the likes of the minister, and mahmoud abbas and others. figures from the region who are important in tunisia at the march, but at the same time there is food in tunisia.

what you are hearing in terms of rhetoric from those in charge of the president. it is very much - you are with us or against us. reminds us of the language used by george w. bush. there has been a clampdown and arrests. there are fears by some. this clampdown in operation will be and lead to a polarization which everyone is avoiding and lead to people losing freedoms where they fought and died. >> the political polarizition continues in this country. you speak to people on all sides of the divide showing who is the extremist. a lot of fingers point at each other. are you right. >> that's been the problem, even before the resolution and the

attack which was unprecedented. an attack on civilians shows that the people who carried it out have a capability. the authorities are trying to show the moment clampdown on it hence the death that we saw in the gas region. they need to show that they are going to deal with the human rights expects of things too. >> thank you very much. nazarine moshury fighters capture a city of idlib. the transport hub in the north is the second provincial center to fall to the rebels since the war began. stefanie dekker explains. the syrian army is gone and opposition fighters are in control here. the city of idlib has been under the syrian government for most of the war. after days of fighting the

rebels are in charge. the fight was undertaken by a newly formed coalition led by the al nusra front-allied with al qaeda. al jazeera spoke with a fighter. >> translation: this is the main reason for an advance in idlib city. rebels got used to names. there's no names, all rebels are fighting under the one name celebrating in front of the governor's building fighters killed themselves. the videos have been quick to make it on to the internet. this one shows fighters returning, reunited with families after years on the battlefield. close to a million people lived in idlib, including many. thousands fled during the offensive. air strikes have been carried out. unprecedented in the area.

because it had been in government hands. idlib is a safe haven. syrian state television aired the footage. the forces are regrouping fighting what it calls terrorists. for now it doesn't appear to be concern. fighters reffeling. idlib is the second capital to fall out of rafa it is the capital belonging to the state of iraq and levant new measures will be taken to combat the spread of ebola. including restrictions on burials and lock downs. some defy the government's order. >> reporter: they came looking for food. when there wasn't enough fights broke out.

>> this is devilhall, an impoverished neighbourhood knew sierra leone free town. and a hot bed. hundreds gathered at a food point. >> translation: people are desperate for food because of how the distribution is going. they think they'll not get food. it led to panic. many were custody, and the police struggle to deal with the crown. >> they would never support the suggestion under their control. health teams were send door to door to look for unreported cases. the number of new cases had fallen. ebola was a threat in sierra leone and its neighbours. there are fears of complacency. 6 million were asked to remain indoors. we want to re-energise people.

we have been in the fight for almost 10 months and people are beginning to be sad and complacent. more than 10,000 were killed and 79 cases reported. many understand the need for a curfew. for those living below the poverty line it is not an option. >> translation: because of a 3-day lockdown there's nowhere to get food. when we heard about the supply they came around so they could have something. >> it's not just sierra leone, guinea declared a health emergency. the president ordered restriction and confinement. many are concerned that the government may not be able to provide food and supplies to the affected communities. new vaccines awareness and quarantine measures are slowly winning against the virus. for the people against the

country, the fight against ebola is far from over. all right. let's get some weather, and i understand in central america you need to keep the umbrella handy. >> if it will be of use. following from the floods it is raining heavily. it's a good champ of what can be expected or what can happen. it's a line running from mexico through cuba. so much so you can call it a cold front. you shouldn't draw these things but it's a change in temperature. cuba has not surprisingly had a reasonable amount in a place like this 46mm. so what you might think. there is rain in cuba. not so much in guatemala. in florence in the north, it's about 24 hours. do you know what the average is

it's less than that. it's something like 50mm. it's dry. it will be bouncing off the ground. for now, it's too early. however, it will continue. this is sunday going into monday raining, heading south. it will rain across cuba and you end up with siftenal wet weather. i am not sure if it's wanted or not. it could be useful. and devastating. it caused the flooding in mexico. and they were not wanted. in south america we had a huge amount of rain in the atta cabba. the rain is out of the rain and thankfully falling elsewhere, south of where it's wanted. there is rain where it should be in the next day or so more to come on the

newshour. split between two continents. it's a significant city but it is changing, and some fear it's losing character. >> a report from guatemala, where 36 years after being killed, the victims of a military massacre are getting a proper burial. in sport, lament drowns -- lewis hamilton drowns his sorrows as a former champion bounces back at the malaysian grand prix.

joins us from las australian where the talks are -- las arn where the talks are taking place. should we believe that they are close to a deal? >> they are close to a deal. when you get close to something as difficult as this the last bit, and we believe among the sticking points are future development, and the relief of sanctions, the withdrawal of the sanctions, and the e.u. and u.n. sanctions, how that would take place. that is a difficult path. that is what is going on now. interesting that the meetings they are having used to be for several hours. now they used to be short, the meetings, between the iranians and the international partners that are here. that's because they go back each time on the sticking points coming up with other

permutations and putting it to the other side. criticsar circling. we know the position of the israeli prime minister. the newly elected p.m. binyamin netanyahu has been speaking and worried about the agreement with iran. his words - he thinks they'll come to something. a dangerous deal. he talks about the axis of iran loss arn and yemen, dangerous to all humanity. >> maybe you can cast light on what exactly the powers are asking for in terms of checks, of guarantees at this point. well they are looking to find a way that iran can do what it says it wants to do which is only have a civilian programme, and not secretly try to get a nuclear weapon. here comes a mechanism,

safeguard, inspections over a period of time. we know the u.s. has been talking about the disagreement between the time line making sure that iran doesn't get a nuclear weapon through the iranian, plutonium. which is a covert route trying to find a way to get a weapon away from the eyes of the international community. they have been discussed obvious days and days. this week and last week. substantial protest has been made over the period in laws arn, but the picking points - we don't have all the foreign ministers, u.k. and russia. we are certainly - we are close to the end game. until we are all here. i don't think there's any chance of a deal. >> james bay, thanks for that.

>> let's get the voting in elections. we are joined now live from london. an independent researcher on war and conflict study. good to have you with us. we'll start with the latest glitches. how much impact will the failure have. do we know where the 300 malfunctioning machines are located. are they all in the same area for example. >> most are in the southern parts of the country. and a few of them are in the south, and maybe one or two, quite a few in the south-west. otherwise, in northern parts of nigeria, most of them function well. it does not look like a problem so much that can affect the election. because the ruling people's democratic party great from yesterday that we will not

affect the outcome. it shouldn't be a major problem, it's a contingency planned by the commission to allow people to be executed manually. which was done in the case of some. i don't see it as a problem affecting the outcome of the election in the end. some are making the ruling party - are making a lot of noise about this. i wonder if the techial problems - the offices - could this open the door for any party to dispute the results if he doesn't like it. >> it is expected that anyone that losses the election would come out. saying that because of this or because of sudden problems. it affects the outcome of the result. it's clear that the two

candidates agree that at the end of of the election it accepts the outcome. there's a promise to accept the outcome of the election. there's is number of people from that from the pvp saying that because of the hitches we had, they have been vindicated from the beginning. because they did not want the use of card readers. which the independent electoral commission went ahead to use. i hope in the end it will not be an excuse to dispute the out come of the result. >> this is the most serious challenge to the ruling pvp party, isn't it. regardless of what the result is, because it is very close, is it a turning point for nigerian politics? >> definitely. definitely. i don't know, people believe that this is the first time.

this will be the first time in the history of nigeria, after june 1st elections in 1992 june 12th elections. this will be the first time in the history of elections that people have their say, and have their way. people in niger, a lot of people have vowed to vote out the ruling party. that comes out in the end. and they will say what they want and see it happening in the government. ensuring a strong opposition presence. thank you very much. bolivians are going to the polls to elect regional governors and mares. -- mayors. the success of morales encouraged more to enter politics.

change. bolivian society participates more matching the indigenous communities and women in afghanistan roe bolivians. while potential grows, so too, their convictions. this is a former minister standing in opposition. he didn't like the direction of the government he was a former minister. >> translation: the team of the indigenous struggle has been subsumed. it has weakened the movement. >> according to the international monetary fund it is growing by 5% a year. the challenge facing the government is to ensure the wealth is evenly spread pop a population marked by ipp equalities. >> the fight to emerge has been hard.
