are still missing and the newly-elected president vows to do everything to bring them home plus. i'm phil at a state sanctioned camp for migrants trying to reach the uk and find out why authorities are sending them here and why the migrants say the conditions are worse than inhumane later in the program. ♪ let's bring you some breaking news coming into us first out of somalia and people from al-shabab in the ministry of education in the capitol mogadushu and people are on the scene and perhaps one person has been killed and we will have more on that as soon as we get it. let's go to yemen now where the saudi-led coalition is intensifying air strikes on multiple targets in yemen south

where houthi rebels made gains in some areas, jets have pounded the port city of aiden including the presidential palace which is in houthi hands. and saudi arabia is also reenforcing security along its border with yemen and more aid has arrived in the capitol sanaa, these are pictures of a plane from doctors without borders delivering supplies. the situation deteriorates the u.n. security council is going to talk about a new reservoir escalation on the situation. expected to vote with jordan and demands houthi stop fighting and withdraw from positions and resolution calls for an arms embargo and new sanctions against rebels and russia's demand for immediate ceasefire and arms embargo on all sides have been rejected. the fighting in yemen has hit the country's oil and gas industry too and a key exporter

in the south said it had to stop production and will have to evacuate staff and local tribes trying to stop advance of houthi rebels and have inferior weapons but vowing to protect their territory no matter what and we explain. >> reporter: tribal fighters just 500 meters from the houthi front lines and thousands of local men have been on high alert since the rebels captured sanaa in september, there have been almost daily skirmishes for months. >> translator: we will win. as you can see we are every where on the front lines and our situation is solid and our locations are strong because we have the support of god and the will of the brave men here. >> reporter: they call themselves popular resistance committees and they support president abd rabbuh mansur hadi, so far the houthis have not been able to take control and the fighters want it to stay that way. it's home to the bulk of yemen

oil and gas resources and control of the region would be a significant victory for the houthis and their allies. >> translator: we are defending our land and our families. we did not exercise aggression against anyone but our enemies bid against us. they will be defeated. >> reporter: the tribes are backed by the yemen army and saudi-led coalition. but they say they are not as good as houthis and said to have looted yemen army camps. >> translator: we need to increase pressure on the houthi in the south and every point and aiden and there are volunteers like us there and other places. >> reporter: the fighters move on to protect another section of their front line but there are fears any escalation in violence here can damage vital oil and gas supply lines pushing yemen even closer to economic

collapse i'm with al jazeera. on that we have a retired jordan airforce general and joins us from london and we are deep in the air campaign what has it achieved so far? >> it really without the air campaign the houthis could control the whole yemen but the campaign did stop them from progress and cutting their supply line their military infrastructure, so they are keeping the pressure on them so that, you know you can't do it from the air, it's very difficult, you need other elements like operation and troops on the ground to do that. the problem in the system in yemen, it's a tribal country and fight for the sake of their tribes and their country and national side of this.

so it's very messy and difficult situation, very complex to resolve. even if you had a u.n. resolution i don't think it will have any effect on the ground in yemen. >> you mentioned tribes there and have seen over the last few days and seems like tribes are moment liking in areas and can they stand up to combined forces of houthis and the army units which are loyal to the former president president? >> it's very difficult but the coalition should work very hard on this to get this dismantled because the tribes he will keep it moving all around yemen. i think it's the thought of increasing the aid over sanaa and some on modern area that might put some other pressure on them also. sanaa is critical for the

houthis so attacking sanaa would really not change the balance but they will think twice about the air power campaign. so it might get them close to negotiations. >> i'm curious, they use the term dismantling the former president sort of infrastructure set up there, how would the coalition go about doing that short of sending ground troops in? >> i don't think they will send any ground troops at the moment even the egyptian like 700 or so commanded by the border. sending troops inside yemen means attrition means it will take a long time to end this war and they have to weigh these things carefully about such a decision. and the yemen by nature they are, you know resistant to any external foreign invader or any

invader, this is their history and very difficult, they won't accept that and may be for the sake and may utilize this razor a propaganda and look what the people coming to invade your country and things like that. >> reporter: all right, thanks so much for your analysis of the military situation there. police say ten people have been killed in two separate car bomb attacks in the capitol, one went off near a hospital in baghdad, the other exploded in the neighborhood. police say another 18 people were wounded. in anbar providence security forces trying to take back territory from i.s.i.l. and both sides are claiming they are the ones making gains. and following develops for us from baghdad and is live from there and what are you hearing from the ground there, what is the reality of the situation

there? >> well, let me tell you the latest first sammy that in ambar in an area which is to the east of the town or the city of fallujah at least eight members of iraqi security forces have been killed including two army officers that were trying to advance and take over in areas controlled by i.s.i.l. when we understand from security sources there that i.s.i.l. managed to let down a lot of ieds and boobie traps in many homes and they retreated and stopped advancement, this is part of the government plan to try and pave the way for the whole operation to regain anbar but it's a very difficult situation, anbar is large and 70% remain under i.s.i.l.'s control. so it's going to be a very tough

battle for the iraqi forces. >> well the prime minister of iraq is eek seeking weapons from the u.s. and is he doing what the u.s. president asked him to make? >> well with regards to the reforms, he did seek with the kurds by agreeing on a budget and giving some of the oil revenues back to the kurdish regional government however on the other hand and laws and reaching out to the sunni community did not materialize although there is talk of the government's will to end all of the marginazation claims made by sunnis but there are other sticking points, sammy facing the prime minister and his upcoming meeting with president obama iraq will be asking the u.s. for military help for

weapons, for m-16 fighter jets that they purchased in the past and u.s. did not deliver it and asking for drones as well as helicopters and they will be asking tough questions about the role of the shia malitias in iraq and are backed by iran of course. >> thanks very much. iraq's prime minister abd rabbuh mansur hadi is in washington d.c. to ask the u.s. president obama to ask for more weapons to help fight i.s.i.l. and have 300 mine resistant vehicles 12000 sets of body armor helmets and first aid kits and 21,000 rifles and more than 2000 hell fire missiles america has trained thousands of iraqi troops at five bases in the u.s. and we have a senior fellow at the institute at the american

university in beirut and joins us now live from the lebanese capitol and doesn't sound there has been shortage of u.s. weapons flowing in iraq over the resent years and why does the prime minister feel he needs more, is there a battle changing now he is confronting i.s.i.l.? >> well certainly confronting i.s.i.l. is requiring new forms of equipment that the iraq doesn't have like surveillance drones and helicopters and other things and also it's the situation with the attacks that the iraqi armed forces are going to launch or in the process of launching to reclaim anbar providence and go north to mosul and other places. so the nature of the battle that has to be won require more sophisticated equipment. the problem is not really equipment mainly the united

states has poured tens of buck lanfords lanfords -- billion and has turned up in people's hands and the convergence under the leadership of prime minister abadi with a strong force that includes all elements in iraq the kurds, sunnis and others as well as pro-iran supported shia malitia that played a big role in liberating tikrit and how do you get the people working together with the united states and other arab countries, that is the real challenge and it's not a technical military hardware issue it's a political governance issue. and abadi is the first prime minister in resent years to make some progress in this realm and he wants to get assurances of

american support both politically but also economically. >> forgive me for jumping in here has he made enough progress when you have a situation where there are reports coming in that some of these shia malitias which have retaken sunni towns like tikrit there are allegations that they have committed abuses against the civilian population some of those reporting it from international news agencies have had to flee the country as the prime minister himself says you know very strong statements against those who are defaming iraq's reputation? >> well, this is a huge problem. so abadi has started to make progress in certain areas and your correspondent mentioned a few of them sharing wealth with the kurdish region and inclusive government that represents almost all iraqis dismissing some of the elements in the armed forces he just retired

300 officers yesterday. so but there are huge problems with sectarian spill over and hangovers and violence and it's not just reported that some of these iran supported shia malitia are still in tikrit and it's a fact and i spoke to some iraqi friends who follow this very closely and speak to people in tikrit everyday that there are some malitias in tikrit and doing destruction. this is a big problem that can only be solved through a national political consensus in iraq that let's all iraqis feel they have a say in how the government is run and they have a share of the developmental pie. so the problem is you can't make military progress against i.s.i.l. unless you have this political consensus and cannot have political consensus unless all pieces fall in place and include i iran and within iraq

and it's a complicated puzzle to put together but abadi is the first leader who started seriously to go down this road and has 25% of the path but he has made a good impression and what he wants now is more assurances from the americans but i.s.i.l. is the big, immediate threat and if i.s.i.l. is not defeated then iraq as a country will not regain integrity. >> we have to leave you and thank you so much. the man in charge of the global coalition against i.s.i.l. says it could take years to defeat the group and john allen spoke to roslyn jordan and talked about the challenges ahead. >> reporter: retired john allen is barack obama's man in charge of the global campaign against i.s.i.l. islamic state, iraq and levante and for more than six months working with more than 60 countries to stop the

group's spread. in an exclusive interview i asked general allen what kind of enemy i.s.i.l. has become. >> i would say that in many respects dash has become a proto state in some respects. it points to a peace of terrain that it calls a capitol. it has attempted local governance through mirrors that look like provincial governments. it has even attempted to have its own currency. in some respects when it transitioned to becoming a proto state it created its own vulnerabilities. >> reporter: allen says i.s.i.l. doesn't have enough people to hold iraq and syria it calls its own and pentagon released this map on monday. officials say that sense september i.s.i.l. has lost between 1.3 and 1.7 million hectors of territory but in iraq regaining territory doesn't mean there is peace. sunni residents say they are being targeted by shia malitia

and prime minister abadi who is shia in the providence recently made a point of raising the national flag over liberated tikrit but general alan says it will take much more to restore trust among the iraqis. does the coalition have a moral obligation to stay engaged as long as possible to get shia to learn to coexist in iraq? >> the governments are very much committed to assisting prime minister abadi and in creating the environment of governance that brings to an end the kind of sectarian strife that characterized iraq politics and iraq society to this point. >> reporter: then there is the problem of foreign fighters and alan and other leaders are trying to keep young people from

joining i.s.i.l. and helping them once they come home. >> we need to be pre ppared to hold them accountable with the rules of society and i think in the end we are a compassionate people, it's important to explore how rehabilitation and deradicalzation can be brought to bear. >> reporter: the fight against i.s.i.l. will take years but ultimately the group will be defeated, the challenge he says is not letting up the pressure on i.s.i.l. no matter how long it takes, roslyn jordan al jazeera, the state department. well still to come here on al jazeera a peace deal being signed in central african republic really legitimate? politicians in the u.s. push back on obama executive power to lift sanctions against iraq and there is something fishy and they are investigating why there are tons of dead sea life. ♪

now rival groups in central african republic planning to sign a peace deal in nairobi and former president and the man who ousted him in a coup the leader of the rebel group there are questions about the legitimacy of this latest agreement. let's bring in a reporter from the central african republic and good to have you here as always. people signing this agreement, do they still control the shots on the ground? how effective is their word? >> he was ousted as president in march 2013 and absolutely no power at all. and the other is the head of the seleka alliance and there are questions about divisions within that seleka coalition on the ground in central african republic and whether he actually has power or sway over them

anymore. anti-balaka which is also signing up to the agreement is a basic kind of group and doesn't have much money or power within central african republic and mainly a vigilante group that rose to fight off attacks on villages. >> what about other names and people who told me they are also signing up for this and they are effective players, are they? >> these people are responsible for horrific human rights violations in central african republic so some people may say the fact they are part of the deal is more about bringing about amnesty and relevancy for themselves than actually changing reality on the ground in central african republic. >> does this agreement help the bangi foreign process and that is a question here because there is a question to what extent the car government is involved in

this and you need them on board, right? >> the car government is central and elections need to be held in june if conditions are right are not involved in this peace agreement at all and not signatories and do not back it. the u.n. process which is taking place, munesca is not involved and neither are the french and we have a substantial force. >> how can we have resettlement and disarmament of military factions? this is getting to be a bit difficult. >> that is really the question and should be the priority for any kind of peace agreement. disarming those armed groups and also civilians who have arms in their homes. the price of one grenade is the same as the price of a can of coke in the capitol bongi and how easy it is for people to get hold of weapons and to use those arms and weapons and that is one of the main problems as well as corruption and poverty which is

endemic. >> we need all hands on deck to work and thank you for talking us through this. nigeria newly elected president will do everything to find the 200 girls kidnapped from boko haram and demanded the girls' return and put tape on their mouths to symbolize the silent voices of abducted school girls. of more than 200 girls abducted by boko haram 57 of them managed to escaped and harry went to meet some of them. >> reporter: they don't want to talk about the night they were kidnapped from their school instead they want people to know how they are doing now one year later but first a message to more tan 200 of their school mates who couldn't get away from boko haram that night. >> i would just pray for them

that there is hope that one day god will set them free from the hands of the boko haram. >> reporter: these girls escaped from boko haram fighters by jumping off moving vehicles in northeast nigeria and the government abducted them. the reason they don't want their faces faces shown on t.v. is to protect their families and other girls still in school there but they want everyone to know they do not see themselves as victims, not anymore and plan to go back stronger than ever. mary wants to heal people. >> my favorite subject is biology and i want to become a medical doctor so i can have a clinic because we don't have educated doctors. >> reporter: the new school, the american university of nigeria, is still in the northeast but they are safe here

and they have access to some of the best facilities all paid for by well wishers. >> everything here is different from there because there we don't have anything like these e-learning and internet. >> reporter: teachers say watching the girls grow more confident has been an amazing experience. >> i started seeing a determination in them to succeed, a determination in them to they are going to make the best out of this tragic situation that occurred to them and turn it into something positive. >> reporter: the girls say they are doing well. they have not forgotten their missing friend but they say they are not going to let what happened that night, one year ago, define the rest of their lives. >> the message is the brave and courage and ambition that you are made to be a great person. >> reporter: the next time you see them they will be graduating harry with al

jazeera. we have a political risk analyst and she spoke to us about how groups like boko haram benefit by targeting children. >> if you look at the trends with groups that have operated in similar criminal fashion across africa recruiting of young children means that it's easy for them to mold them in tell ideology they want to promote across the areas they operate and i think this is certainly no different in nigeria certainly for girls and it's effectively using girls as a weapon of war and a way to destabilize communities and the girls obviously served as an important reminder i think to nigeria and the international community that you know this level of barbaric act happens on widespread scale and the girls have been the center of this campaign we certainly know that there have been cases because there are cases where children have actually been reunited with

families talking about the suffering they had to deal with while under boko haram captivity. so this is an issue that we know is happening but it's very difficult to actually verify the numbers because there has been no independent inquiry into this issue. >> reporter: now let's get some weather with robin and are we seeing an early start to the monsoon season? >> it looks like it no it's not monsoon rain but it has come early and let's see what has been happening. yesterday as the clouds developed for 2-3 days the heat of the day we have big showers and a line running to the eastern and that is 86 millimeters of rain recorded in the last two days. and maybe that is not a surprise because coming up to monsoon season but it's a little early for that. this is what the chart shows as a typical rain the monsoon is very obvious and it's june july, august september and we

are this end of this april and may so we should have 20-30 millimeters. this is early rain and wrong time of year for this far north and say this far north because sri lanka and on the bottom of the screen 67 millimeters fell in 24 hours, that is about half of what you expect for the month so it's a bit more reasonable and it gets rain all times of the year not so on the mainland. now this is the satellite picture running up during the day and heat of the day is catching up with showers now and might get repeat performance and might be raining right at this moment and, in fact, i take this forecast forward and exactly what happens but it changes from tomorrow on ward. fewer showers inland more rain developing showers in the foothills of the north and maybe where it should be and in sri lanka. >> thanks so much rob and more still to come on the al jazeera news hour hungry to learn, the somalis living in the refugee camp made it to a university now their education is in doubt.

>> thanks so much, mohamed there. iran's foreign minister says sanctions on the country need to be removed before world powers reach a final deal and it was agreed in switzerland after talks earlier this month. >> so what you need to do is to keep and hold the government of the united states accountable for its international obligation and governments accountable for international obligation so for agreement what happens in the u.s. and how they want to spin it all sanctions and economic and financial sanctions imposed by eu and u.n. and united states must go in the first stage. >> reporter: request comes as u.s. secretary of state john kerry tries to buy more negotiation time from congress the u.s. committee is set to discuss legislation if passed could prevent the white house from lifting sanctions on iraq and kimberly explains.

>> reporter: president obama doesn't need the approval of congress to lift sanctions imposed on iran and that is what the republic majority on capitol hill wants to change the chair of the senate foreign relations committee is pushing the iran nuclear agreement review act of 2015 and if passed of the committee and later of house and senate could delay or potentially eliminate white house power to lift sanctions on iran. president obama says that won't happen but congress could override a presidential veto with two thirds majority. to get that republicans will need the support of at least 13 democrats in the senate and roughly 40 from the house of representatives. it's not an impossibility given many democrats have taken a tough on iran stance in the past. >> i'll try to work through it. >> reporter: so president obama asked his energy secretary earnest to clarify things and he should know the former m.i.t.

nuclear physicists led negotiations with iran and switzerland and now contacting both republican and democratic senators to provide technical details of the framework deal. the white house is pushing hard to convince capitol hill lawmakers to vote against the legislation that would allow them to reject the iran agreement, but it's not just the white house that is lobbying the halls of congress. these are very complex and technical issues. >> reporter: from the washington-based arms control association is among those also meeting with senators to convince skeptics the framework deal puts limits on iran's nuclear program and boosts u.s. national security her challenge is daunting. >> there are those who made up their minds about this agreement long before the deal was reached. i think there are many members of congress who think we can't get a deal with iran because they can't be trusted and for them it doesn't matter how good

the deal will be the deal won't be good enough. >> reporter: so for now the lobbying continues, that's because if the unwieldy iran nuclear agreement act becomes law it could give congress 60 days to weigh in and change history. the final agreement may have taken years to secure with iran and it all could be undone within weeks, kimberly with al jazeera, washington. russia lifted a ban on the delivery of missile defense systems to iran. israel is condemning the move and the united states voicing concern. russia says the embargo is no longer necessary after tehran reached an interim agreement on the nuclear program and tim friend looks at the implications of the deal. >> reporter: the missile system is one of the most potent air defense weapons in the world with a range of 200 kilometers and it can track down and strike multiple targets simultaneously.

russia had suspended the $800 million deal because of strong objections from the u.s. and israel. but according to the russian foreign minister the preliminary agreement on settling the iran nuclear stand off meant voluntary suspension of the deal was no longer necessary. >> translator: 3 00's exclusively a defensive weapon which cannot serve offensive purposes and will not jeopardize a security of any country including, of course israel. >> reporter: israel did not agree. it said it was proof that iran would use relief from sanctions for arms. and the white house also objected to the missile sale. >> i'm not in a position to obviously speculate on the decision making process that russia is engaged in right now but i do think it's safe to say that russia understands that the united states takes seriously the safety and security of our allies in the region.

>> reporter: the deal with world powers over iran's nuclear program still has to be finalized, particularly over how and when to lift sanctions. president obama has to deal with opponents in congress who fear iran is seeking to build weapons. tehran denies that. president putin's latest move complicates the process. but in tehran the spokesman said the missile deal would improve ties between iran and russia paving the way for further cooperation, tim friend, al jazeera. u.s. senator marco rubio announced he will seek nomination for president and the senator from florida becomes the latest to join the presidential race and the youngest at 43 years of age, rubio is hoping to make history by becoming the nation's first hispanic president. >> my parents achieved what came to be known as the american dream. the problem is now too many americans are starting to doubt
