heal wounds. >> it is time for our negotiating partners. to seize the moment power in the hands of western documents - nuclear deal is elusive. >> and a man who accused india of influencing umpires resigns as the president of world cricket. thank you for joining us. fighters from the refugee camp. it was the focus of heavy fighting in 2012 when rival opposition groups move in and a government siege last year saw camp residents pushed to starvation. stefanie dekker has more from beirut. >> the fighting is ongoing

between i.s.i.l. and a group, a palestinian group affiliated with hamas. there are other groups in the camp some al qaeda affiliated groups. the activists say they seem to remain neutral. it started as a turf war - not a turf war, but tit for tat. i.s.i.l. is accused of killing a leader. it kidnapped a number of fighters, and this is when i.s.i.l. stormed the camp. they had moved the refugee camp them what used to be 160,000 palestinian refugees. 18,000 besieged for two years. desperate scenes unfolding. now some aid is trickling in. these people have no food water, trusty. they are dependent on the aid. if i.s.i.l. remained. if the fighting is ongoing that aid will stop.

if we look at it geographically the camp is close to damascus. 7-10km away. the regime will not be happy with i.s.i.l. taking hold close to the capital. that is the situation at the moment. it's a fluid situation. there are groups in fighting and the regime earlier i spoke to an activist who is based in yarmok. i asked who was in control. >> he refers to the group known as i.s.i.l. as d.a.e.s.h. >> mainly more than 80% is controlled by the palestinian fighters. i.s. now - you can say the fighters and the other syrian opposition fighter like the free

syrian army, the area is like east of yarmouk. in the south, in that area. in more time the people decided they don't want any more radical groups in this area. they cause a lot of harm to the people for so long time. the people inside yarmouk, they are not ready to deal with sides that want to control their life. they are resist as they can, to protect their house, their place, their camp the biggest palestinian refugee camp out of palestine. there's no electricity for more than two years, no water completely in yarmouk since september 2014. this is the date, because of the starvation for more than 170

civilians. they are life inside yarmouk. it's so difficult to talk. i'm using a battery. we don't have power or other reverses. completely on the event, on the food basket. at the moment we are joined live from skype. chris, thank you for joining us here on al jazeera. what are you hearing about what is happening within the camp. we are concerned from civilians. since early afternoon there were

fierce clashes. amongst those are 3,500 children. their lives are in danger in danger of displacement and being severely injured, which is why we are saying that all of the parties must respect their obligations. we are concerned particularly about children. >> thousands of people that depend on aid have been depending on aid for years. how difficult is to to get aid, and not just supplies. >> it's almost impossible since the siege was imposed in 2013. we have had poor access. it began again since 6 december. we've been able to get very little in. last year for example, we had 131 days of access. we take in an average of 93 a

day. the minimum they need is 400. we have women dying in childbirth because of lack of medical supplies. we have reports of children reportedly dying of starvation. that is how things were already, and there's now a development today. that is why we say to the parties, please we need a situation, but civilians are respected, particularly the children. >> of course now, with this news that i.s.i.l. is in the yarmouk refugee camp the situation is more worrying for all the people inside. what developments do you think that that could bring. the fact that i.s.i.l. is in the refugee camp. >> we can't confirm that i.s.i.l. is in the camp. we have confirmed the fierce clashes, and we know that they are near civilians. that tells its own story. fierce clashes in that place

that has been under siege for so long. where the population suffered intolerably. it can only mean one thing. more suffering. children, particularly the elderly, the sick the dying. there's almost no water or electricity. we have reports of people burning furniture over the winter to stay warm. pictures of children scooping dirty water out from holes in the street because water is in terribly short supplies. let's put humanity and the people first, let's focus on individuals in that camp. they have suffered enough. this development is worrying, and we are following the situation closely

chris, spokesperson for the u.n. relief and works agency. thank you for sharing your views with us. >> thank you. sorry about the cough. >> the saudi arabia military denied hitting a factory in yemen during the offensive on houthi fighters. 23 people are said to have been killed in the attack. the saudi arabia led campaign is in its 7th day targetting missiles, air defenses and rebels belonging to et rebels. >> these are deposed in areas controlled by the houthis. saudis say houthi rebels acquired a huge number of weapons over the past few months. they worry these weapons may be used in revenge attacks against saudi arabia. all the targets are destroyed. the factory became on inferno in

the western port city. dozens were killed. monday evening an air strike hit a refugee camp killing many. the united nations condeveloped the attack. calling it a violation of international law. the houthis blamed the saudi-led coalition for targetting civilians. accusations d dismissed by the coalition. >> translation: houthis attacked the dairy factory. our sources confirmed. they used rockets and the people were killed. houthis used propaganda. the yemenis know military intervention. forces loyal to the deposed president and houthis are pulling out from areas in the haz and other areas. intense ground fighting moved to

the port city of aden. a secessionist group says it helped to take over the southern cities international airport and the surrounding area. the secessionists are one of a number of groups now fighting the houthis on the ground. each has its own agenda. the players include forces loyal to president abd-rabbu mansour hadi. and various lives. the saudi arabia foreign minister says gaining control of yemen will not come easily but the region stability depends on it. the saudis are building international support for the military intervention. foreigners dropped in yemen are desperate to leave. about 350 citizens left for djibouti above the membership last night. for those that remain. there are growing concerns about a humanitarian crisis and no

signs of a ceasefire soon. >> 122 people have reportedly been killed and 787 injured in ongoing clashes in the southern yemeni city of aden. this video on youtube is said to show fighting in the central district. that's the strong hold of the president, who is currently in saudi arabia. houthi fighters and the army allies are said to have advanced in an m of tanks into the -- m of tanks in the district. >> joining us on the line the saudi minister. i understand you called on the coalition to defend aden. what do you understand the situation to be there like. >> yes, the situation is serious

muhammadu buhari vowed in a speech to beat boko haram, and build a better future for the country. pressure is on to put words into action as we report from lagos. >> nigerians around in the early 1980s remember the days when things weren't this orderly. people were pushed and shoved to get on to buses. muhammadu buhari took order in 1983 when he took over in a military career. he enforced compliance including cleaning up the cities. now he's back some hope he'll bring that to the new administration and tackle these areas. >> we are the grassroots in this country. >> reporter: nigeria is a large oil producer but many do not have access to electricity. >> we don't have power or electricity.

we'll manage the own economy. we'll ask the country. >> reporter: when muhammadu buhari addressed the nation he called for all nigerians to unite and work together. >> this is time to heal the wounds and work to a better future? >> we do this first by extending a hand of friendship. those that work with muhammadu buhari say he was tough and less corrupt. >> all political leaders we have taken into detention. there were investigations. those that didn't find anything with or against.

something was held in the public square. >> critics say he violated human rights, and favoured those from the north where he comes from. muhammadu buhari admits he was not perfect, saying he is now aninformed politician. >> many are ready to hold him accountable if he fails to deliver. >> reporter: the new democratically elected leader promises to serve and govern not govern over his people. what legacy he'll leave in office, we'll see observers hailed the nigerian vote as free and fair. ynonne ndedge has been following the reaction from abuja. >> reporter: what happened in

nigeria is rare and historic. many expected the country to dissent into chaos and violence. nigerian people proved the opposite. we witnessed a peaceful transmission of power. they had been marred by political instability and violence. this was an incredibly peaceful election and given a clean bill of health by observers. and both of the men running in the race president-elect have called for nigerians to unite. now the hard work of government starts for the president elect. he'll have to tackle issues such as corruption. issues such as insecurity. the housing crisis and unemployment. he's promised nigerians to create 3 million jobs a year. many people are waiting to see what he can do. when the euphoria dies down

he'll have to deliver the dividends of democracy that he's promised. >> we'll speak to laser us from the monitoring election group. they have been monitoring the election and joins us from abuja. thank you for joining us. there has been worries about the election, the process and the violence after the result was announced. it seems that all those worries did not come to pass and everything has gone well. are you surprised by the positivity that seems to have come out of this selection. -- this election? >> i'm not surprised. we deployed 4,000 observers across the country with every local government in every state and geopolitical zone and deployed the quick count. it was about capturing the election.

we mentioned all the processes. i can tell you that even though there were hitches, pockets of incidents, the election turned out to be very credible very peaceful, and the processes - even for day one, 95% of polling, were held conclusively. it was a single digit matter that proceeded to have the elections on sunday. i'm not surprised. i saw the process. >> what do you put the success down to - the technology or the speed which the results were given the the mind-set of the people. what was the main thing that it hinged on? >> i think it was about the mind-set of the people largely, because if you look into the election, the campaigns were looking very negative.

the political atmosphere was charged and it looked like it was an election that brought nigeria to war. when election day came the citizens had a different count. >> you could see a disconnect between the politicians what they are saying and what they felt. at the end there's a mind-set of the people coming together. that's why we have the peaceful atmosphere even after the results shn declared. -- have been declared. you mentioned the mind-set of the people and politicians, yet goodluck jonathan admitted defeat when it was clear he hadn't run. how crucial a role of him conceding defeat played in him avoiding violence in nigeria? >> i think that gesture is

unprecedented. let's not forget the fact that citizen groups like the transition monitoring group deploy with a count and defy the results. they give the candidate a basis to trust the ruts. there were so many indications as to how credible the process was. the president had one choice. which was the right thing to do. i think it was a basis for him to tour that part. he has done an unprecedent thing. none of his supporters have the part of violence. >> our guest was from a group that mon tored the elections.

the national press club in washington. urged the government to release two al jazeera journalists detained for a week in northern nigeria. ahmed idris and ali mustafa were embedded with the military before being arrested for allegedly reporting on boko haram without "clearance", and have been kept in their hotel in maude since tuesday. -- maiduguri since tuesday. >> hundreds of fighters were killed near the border near niger. it was retaken from militants. in my opinion -- soldiers are said to have been killed. >> folks are continuing in swits -- talks are continuing in switzerland well past the deadline. john kerry will stale until tuesday. the white house is putting

pressure iran saying now is the time to show it is committed to reaching a deal.

agreement. things have not gone as well as it had hoped. you might remember the early hours of this morning. expressions of optimism. there were expressions, the russian foreign minister and we got the sense there was momentum behind the process. we were hoping that by the end of today, wednesday, we might get the statement. a sense from the iranians feel the other powers are putting them under pressure. i read you something said to the iranian media - our friends, referring to the powers need to

decide whether they want to be with iran based on respect or pressure. that was a clear opportunity. that was a clear opportunity that mr zarif took to say "listen, talks are not going well it's not our fault" pushing back from undue pressure. talks are carrying on. mr steinmeier the german foreign minister said new proposals are on the table and everywhere is prepared to stay to tomorrow or thursday. >> we have been told that some main sticking points were sanctions or research and development. do we have more details on what exactly is the stumbling block? >> the speed at which the sanctions regimes on iran the different sectors of the economy are affected by them whether the e.u. on banking and finance

and oil. there's some flexibility on the iranians. there's a thorny issue of the insistence that the u.n. sanctions - which there are many and there are legally binding issues, and who gets to vote on u.n. security council. they want those lifted quickly, as the deputy foreign minister told the iranian media, there's an issue of iran wanting to exercise the right to continue research into advanced sentry finals. that is -- sentry finals. one thing that is emerging is iranians are pushing for a general document. and more generalised expression of agreement. i think the americans, in particular. are not happy with that prospect. president obama wants to deal with meet on the bone to use it to face down critics in congress. from the american perspective,

the issue of congress coming back in two weeks threatening more sanctions is shaping the talks in the background. >> sounds like it's going to be a long night in lausanne. simon mcgregor-wood with the latest. thank you. still to come on the programme. the desperate families of 43 missing student turning to a drug cartel for help. we are live from mexican city. >> an explosion of gas and mud forces dozens of albanian families from their home. >> plus find out why this singing footballer shouldn't give up the day job.

denied hitting a factory in yemen given the offensive in the country. 23 were killed when the factory was targeted in the north-west. it's believed fighters from islamic state have withdrawn from the yarmouk refugee camp. iraqi presume arrived in tikrit. confirming most of the city has been taken from islamic state of iraq and levant. i.s.i.l. fighters have been driven out of the city. three outer neighbourhoods remain under their control. some viewers may find some of the images disturbing. as iraqi soldiers hoist their flags, the government is hailing this as a victory in the fight against the islamic state group. within hours of forces

recapturing the city the prime minister headed there, promising to restore humanity. >> when the sovereignty is secured, god willing iraq will be liberated from i.s.i.l. the city had been under i.s.i.l. control for months it's hugely strategic. it provides a gate way for mosul, where it's believed the operational centers are based. the fight against i.s.i.l. is not straight forward. as with much of the conflict sectarianism is rife. the iraqi army used the popular mobilization forces to enter, who in turn made their preps clear. raising flags with shia slogans an the vehicles and on top of

government institutions. the p mf and the army are inside tikrit and will be liberated soon. >> dead bodies lined the road on the center of tikrit. a sign of how bloody the battle was. >> capturing tikrit was a boost for the army folding in the face of an army's advance, for many, this would not solve everything. i.s.i.l. had found some support in the north because of the oppression felt by sunni residents. many of whom felt they were unfairly targeted by a shia government and army that wanted to wipe them out. there are reports that sunni homes were destroyed immediately after the army recaptured a city. recapturing the city is one thin winning back sunnis may be more difficult let's go back to the top

story, the fighting in yemen. joining us on the line is the yemeni foreign minister. thank you for joining us on al jazeera. have been hearing that fighting continued in the southern city of aden. we are hearing more than 100 people are dead. hundreds injured. what information can you give us about what is happening in aden? >> yes, there is heavy fighting. there is an invasion by the houthi rebel groups. they are trying to invade and to take hold of the position. in order to show two things first of all that aden is in their hands. and they want also to declare

to everyone that the storm, the decision, the storm is not effective. they don't care about shelling and bombarding. there is civilians, against houses. and they are shelling everywhere. they don't care about anywhere. many residents don't have any - i am worried about what will happen in the coming few hours: if there's no intervention and support. either locally. >> forgive me for interrupting. presumably from what you are saying, air strikes by the saudi led coalition have not had the

effect of stopping the houthi advance. what would you like to see the saudi arabia coalition do now. >> yes, i would like to see them coming on to land and to take the airports of aden and to go to the area. they are places where we don't need a lot of forces to be protected. it's not like other open places. there's no army who is fighting for uty rebels there's no air forces. there's a lot of weakness because only the civilians, who are not used to fight and have no - not as much. i think now the intervention is becoming mandatory.

time is necessary at this time. >> mr riyadh yemeni foreign minister speaking to us from saudi arabia. thank you, sir the palestinian authority is officially a member of the international criminal court. it's part of a move by the palestinians to increase global pressure on israel. the process will be neither quick nor simple. >> the palestinian authority foreign minister emerged from a welcoming ceremony at the international criminal court at the hague on wednesday. palestinians, he said were a step closer to justice, but it will not be quick. >> we seek justice because it is the anchor in which peace and stability can be firmly established. >> do you accept that it may take a long time to bring action against israel. >> we are not going to alter the work and the mechanisms established. what we want to do is cooperate

with i.c.c. to provide whatever information available in our hands, in order, really to facilitate and accelerate the process of investigation committed, done by i.c.c. . >> in a preliminary examination of the facts on the ground. the prosecutors are looking at two areas of concern. first, israel's settlement building on occupied palestinian land considered illegal under international law, and second the actions of israel's army in the gaza war last year. it will be for chief prosecutor ben sudar to decide whether a formal investigation should be launched, and later whether charges should be filed, such as the heavy weight of the palestinian conflict, that the court will want to be certain of itself before proceeding. >> i think it is very premature to speculate on the out come of the legal analysis of the

prosecutor. what is important at this stage to allow the prosecutor this possibility of analysing all the relevant information, the relevant arguments, the crimes the gravity of the crimes the alleged perpetrators. a problem for the palestinians is the question of palestinian war crimes. last week amnesty international published a report into war crimes committed by hamas. the chief prosecutor said she'd investigate both sides without fear or favour. by joining the i.c.c., the palestinian authority is taking action that could impact on israel and the peace process, but could expose palestinians to charges at the international criminal court let's go to turkey where police killed a woman carrying guns and hand grenades near istanbul's police headquarters. another man has been detained as

he tried to attack the building following the death of a posterior on tuesday during a hostage crisis. >> thousands of mourners gathered to pay respects to the turkish prosecutor killed after being taken hostage on tuesday. mehmet selim kiraz was shot during the ordeal. he was investigating the death of a teenager who died of being hit by a police gas cannister during anti-government protests in 2013 thousands of pensioners marched to thegreek parliament to demand pensions we raised to preausterity measures. it is one of the first demonstrations putting pressure on the syriza party since it same to power in january the parents of 43 missing students in mexico are appealing to a drug cartel to help them

find their children. the students disappeared in september. mexico's attorney-general says they were killed by a gang but their parents believe they may be alive. some of them are appealing to the leader of the rival gang for information he may have on what happened. john holman is in mexico city and joins us. it seems like a drastic move to get in touch with the drug cartels. tell us more. what are the families hoping to achieve? >> well, as you say, this is a desperate move from the families. it originated when the leader of this gang apparently got in touch with the families by means of leaving a sign which is common for organised crime groups saying that his gang had nothing to do with the disappearance of 43 students in september last year and saying they had information about what might happen to them.

that is what the families are responding to here. the official government version is that a rival gang killed the students. that is the government version. that is something that is embarrassing for the government and it's something they tried to put to bed inn by offering that version of events as sort of a definitive historical explanation. the family says there's a lot of holes, and forensic experts that were brought in seemed to agree with them that the government's version was not complete. since then they have been trying to look for other explanations. we talk to them we believe the children are alive and will go to whatever lengths that we can do to find out what happened to them, hence the message that

they left. it's really a message of desperation because when you send a message like that and they left a cell phone on the message, out to an organised crime figure it's a russian roulette. you never know what will happen how rivals will react or rivals might react. it's a sad situation that they've been forced to. one of the parents said "i'm more scared of the government than organised crime." what can the gang do i'm poor. the only thing they can do is kill me. to put it in context, tens of thousands disappeared. it's been met by the government by indifference and incompetence and a lack of action. there's tens of thousands of families, some of whom we have reported on, that are wondering what they have to do to find out what happened to their loved

ones. the families taking this desperate step. we have yet to know if they have had an answer from the gang. >> let's hope they get to the truth. john holman live in mexico city. thank you staying in mexico the state-run oil company says four people have died after a fire broken out at one of its production platforms. 45 were injured. the fair broke out in the dehydration and pumping area of the platform it is not clear what caused it. 300 workers have been evacuated in the u.s. a democratic senator from jersey has bin dieted on federal corruption charges. robert menendez accepted gifts from a florida eye doctor in exchange for helping the doctor's interests.

lawrence lee report on how it will help the economy back to growth. >> reporter: it is the humble cow that looks to be a more reliable partner to economic prosperity. at this parm the lifting of -- farm, the lifting of quotas is luke lifting shacked -- like lifting shackles. farms like this saw sons and daughters forced to move abroad for work during the downturn. >> no longer. >> there's cows in every parish. a lot of those cows will be extra cows milk money coming into every parish. it's across the rural economy should get a boost from milk. >> reporter: there's no doubt of the potential. in this country milk flowing like water. thing back to the problems irish economy had - the collapse of the banks, austerity, attempts to rebuild, and the idea that agriculture could be a foundation stone of a more

sustainable business model. the lifting of milk quota's end comes at the right time for this country, and this is white gold. >> ireland will export 90% of what it produces. a small country can't produce enough, but a market in middle east and asia beckon for instant milk and cheese. >> customers were the middle east visit the facilities. we do not bring them to the new factories, the first place is down to the farms. we can see the generations of farming expert sees that we have on the farms. that's the most impressive thing international customers take away the farmers on the farms. >> so at the ministry of agriculture in dublin they are beyond excited, insisting perhaps will be environmentally sustainable. they see a role for ireland in

encouraging food supply in africa. >> north africa. markets like al jazeera. hugely exciting for dairy products. for countries that import a lot of products because they don't have the water to produce the dairy volumes that we have the capacity to produce. this business commercial opportunity is exciting. we'll make sure we take advantage in a way that is responsible and sustainable. >> reporter: the ending of quotas is a huge story. ireland is a supporter of globalisation, the emerald isle is green wet and full of cows germany is assessing the damage after a powerful storm swept across the country killing at least five people. heavy winds sent trees crashing down and damned buildings.
