exactly but they know it will transform the future of their tribe. al jazeera northern philippines. >> there is plenty more on everything we've been covering, of course. you can find on our website www.aljazeera.com is the address. plenty of comment and analysis there, too. . >> new information that the co-pilot that crashed the plane into the alps was being treated for suicidal tendencies, and iran talks continue.

>> this is al jazeera america live from new york city. i'm stephanie sy. we're learning more this morning about the co-pilot who investigators say intentionally crashed a germanwings plane into the french alps. they said the co-pilot received psycho treatment for years before becoming a pilot and some of it was for suicidal tendencies. >> there is still no evidence that the co-pilot told before that he'll do what we have to assume was done. and we haven't found a letter or anything like that that con attends confession of that. >> and we may have our first

glimpse into the final moments of flight 9525. a german tabloid reported a timeline from the flight recorder. if confirmed he did lock the captain out of the cockpit. at they detect the plane is beginning to descend. three minutes later there is a loud bang on the door. the pilot can be heard screaming, for god sake, opening open the door. at 10:37 cap daniels "open the door." and 10:40 last sounds from the recorder. they have not confirmed the transcript but they have yet to deny the timeline. there is one day left to

reach a framework agreement, and that deadline will be final. but there are still issues that have not been resolved. >> these are controversial negotiations, complex negotiations, and then negotiations which have literally been going on for years. we are here very much in the last lap and if you're negotiating something very difficult like this, the bit that you leave to the end is the very toughest bit. so i think that's why we're seeing problems. we have had a meeting earlier on with all of the countries of the negotiating with iran, the p5+1 countries, the members of the security council german all sitting on one side of the table and iran on the other. now we don't have a proper read out of what happened at that meeting. no one is really telling us too much. i have to say when i spoke very briefly to the chinese foreign minister he was somewhat positive and said things were going very well.

we heard after that meeting that the russian foreign minister is considering leaving for the last few hours and come back here on tuesday. that tells me that he certainly thinks that there is not a deal right now ready to sign. as for the u.s. we caught up with the u.s. secretary of state john kerry after he had lunch with at a restaurant at the like side here. >> that was james bays reporting from lausanne, switzerland. prime minister benjamin netanyahu said that the p5+1 delegates should not trust iran in making a deal. in a statement: >> in yemen a humanitarian group

said that saudi airstrikes have hit a camp for displaced people. 15 people are report dead. victoria getenbe has the latest. >> reporter: there is no let-up in this operation for a fifth consecutive night the saudi coalition has continued to hit houthi houthi positions. the saudis have deployed thousands of soldiers along the border they share with yemen but saudi officials continue to say that there is no plan to send troops, at least for now. >> we have some concentration of

force for the militias, but there is no, let's say major land operation. >> the saudi-led airstrikes seem to be weakening outy fighters who started to retreat in areas from the south according to local forces. sunni tribesmen are on the move to recapture areas they lost in the last few weeks. >> i believe if this military operation had not happened on time the price would have been higher. it came at a suitable time rand through expert military men. >> the arab league summit has been dominated by yemen's deteriorateing security situation. the saudis and their allies say the airstrikes will continue until the houthis and the opposed president disband their militia. they insist that abd rabbuh mansur hadi, who has pled the country is yemen's legitimate leader. >> earlier this morning we spoke with al jazeera's national security contributor mike lyons

who said that they have big implications in the u.s. and the region. >> this is what we thought the middle east would develop to back in the cold warrer cold war era. that's what you're seeing. the fact that saudi arabia is so involved with their airstrikes, it shows you how much they feel the extension existential threat is of having this happening on their border. the way the situation is on the ground right now houthies still control it. the airstrikes are doing classic missions from the air but again if you want to take hold of the ground, you have to put ground troops there. the question is if saudi arabia does that, negotiating the deal with iran on the nukes, which has got saudi arabia concerned. and what will it look like if the deal with iran becomes even more powerful. what do the countries think if the united states is going to

support them. you have to get parties on both sides to agree on the situation here. probably restoring the president of yemen and the outies will want something as well. they'll want a say in the government and what is happening there. it will go on for a while especially given the influence iran has there. you're going to see the houthis continue to dig in knowing full well that unless ground troops are there they're going to be in power for a while. >> syria's president said it's open to negotiation world trade center u.s. in an interview, bashar al-assad called reports that he carried out a chlorine gas attack against his own people propaganda. he also dodged a question about his own forces being responsible for 90% of civilian casualties. >> we cannot win the hearts of syrians while we're killing syrians. while the world powers

are against me. that's impossible. this is not realistic and this is against our interests as government to kill the people. what do we get? >> the civil war in syria is now in its fifth year. more than 200,000 people have been killed. and more than 9.5 million have been displaced or fled syria. no. nigeria >> in nigeria there is growing concern of foul play in the election process. we're live from lagos. who is making these allegations of election fraud. >> the leaders of the main opposition have been saying they're convinced there have

been unhappy with the results. they say they'll take it to the streets because they feel there has been testimony perking and manipulation of the voting process. >> will we get a winner today? >> there are independent people doing their own independent polls, tallying, and they're relying on those things. they're relying on what they saw in voting there, for example. they're saying that some of the card readers were not working. in some places, the polling stations opened late, they had no ballot material.

and they would extend the voting into sunday to make sure that those who could not vote on saturday. they say all these things could manipulate the vote and tamper with things. those away from the leaders and speeches, they just want life to go on, and this is what is happening. people are waiting for results a typical market in nigerian catfish is very popular here. this woman said she just wants to get on with her life. she wants to care for her family. she doesn't want violence. they're just hoping that whoever wins whoever loses they accept the result. >> i know you're in a big city, but do you get a sense from the people you've been talking to there of a candidate they're favoring where you are?

>> lagos is very divided. it is an opposition stronghold, but the ruling party has a lot of people here and also has made a lot of gains here as well. it's not as if one group of people live in one side of towned a the other on the other. they're all together. that's why there is violence. that's what is concerning. if one group is not happy with the result, they'll flare up. these women will pick up their goods and runaway. there will be shooting because people have guns in their homes. it is fighting-tense and some people fear that there could be violence if some people don't accept the results. >> haru mutasa awaiting the presidential election. thank you some. al jazeera continues to demand the release of two of our journalists currently detained in nigeria. they were both embed with the military before they were detain: they've been held in
