>> hello from al jazeera headquarters in doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes: >> on the front line in yemen fighterrion in the south say they're pushing back the houthi advance. iraq's fight against isil, prime minister abadi heads to washington cap in hand. >> nigeria marks one year since 200 school girls were kidnapped

by boko haram. >> the cat you don't want to cuddle. tasmanias mission against feral felines. >> we begin this news our in yemen with intense fighting on the ground between forces that back president adou rabbo mansour hadi and those loyal to houthi rebels. fighters are making begins against the houthis. armed trainsman in yemen's southeast have taken control of one of the most important ports. it is the country's only gas export terminal. france has a 40% stake in that facility. >> more heavy fighting in aden. 23 houthi fighters have

surrendered. the tribesmen are pushing back houthi fighters in other areas in the city. east of the capitol sanna tribal fighterrion are managing to hold off the houthi advance. they say the houthis have superior weapons but can be defeated. a retired air force general said more airstrikes as well as ground troops may be needed. >> really without the air campaign the houthi could control the whole of yemen but the air campaign did stop them, cutting their supply line and infrastructure so they are keeping the pressure on them so that, you know, they can't defeat them up from the air. it's very difficult. you need other element like operation all troops on the ground to do that, and the problem is the system in yemen

it's a tribal country so they fight for the sake of their tribes and the country and nationally so it's very messy and difficult situation very complex to revolve even if you had a u.n. resolution, i don't think would have any affect on the ground in yemen. it's very difficult but the coalition should work very hard on that to dismantle this from ali abdullah saleh because these tribes, he will keep them moving all around yemen. i think if they start increasing in sada and other area, that might pressure them. sada is critical for the houthis, so attacking saada

they would think twice about the air power campaign. >> let's get more where tribes are trying to stop the advance of houthi rebels. >> tribal fighters just 500 meters from the houthi front lines. thousands of local man have been on high alert since the rebels captured sanna in september. there have been daily skirmishes for months. >> we will win. as you can see, we are everywhere on the front lines. our situation is solid and locations strong, because every the support that have and the will of the brave men here. >> they call themselves popular resistance commits and support president adou rabbo mansour hadi. the houthis haven't been able to take control of the injuries and these fighters want it that way.

it's home to the oil and gas resource he is and control of the area would go a significant victory for the houthis. >> we are defending our land and our families. we did not exercise aggression against anyone, but our enemies did against us. they will be defeated. >> the tribes are backed by the yemeni army and saudi-led coalition, but they say their weapons aren't as good as the houthis who have looted army camps. >> we need to increase pressure on the houthis in the south and everywhere. there are volunteers like us in other places. >> the fighters move off to protect another section of their front line, but there are fears any escalation in violence here could damage vital gas and oil supply lines pushing yemen even

closer to economic collapse. >> the u.n. security council is due to discuss a draft resolution on the situation. in yemen it's put forward for jordan and calls for an arms embargo on houthi leaders. our diplomatic editor is live for us at the u.n. james, what do you know about this draft resolution? >> not only will they be discussing, they will be voting on it an our from now. it's a resolution that's taken a lot of work over the last couple of weeks. there were two resolutions there was one proposed by the g.c.c. the gulf corporation council and the other proposed by russia. there's been a lot of dip work to try and take bits of those two resolutions and put them in this final resolution which is being put to the security council by jordan.

it's fair to say this resolution though is very much based on that gulf corporation council resolution a not to russian points. that will be the interesting thing, when we see that vote in an hour's time, which way is russia going to vote. we know russia still has concerns. will russia support the resolution will it abstain or will russia volt no, because if russia votes no, it's one of the five permanent members of the u.n. security council and it will mean the resolution is dead, they will use their veto if they vote no. >> if it is not dead, what time line are we looking at and what do they hope toe achieve? the resolution is long, eight pages long opinion the first part is directed at the houthis it says they must end all their violence and withdraw from all of the territory they have taken

in yemen including sanna. an arms embargo added to the existing sanctions. now they are going to include the three current sanctions but adding two new names to the sines list, the main houthi leader and also sal la's son an important figure, an ambassador for yemen in the past and head of the republican guard, named in this resolution. the final key point is the idea of humanitarian pauses, which is something the u.n. wants. other aid agencies want to try to get supplies in. russia said there should be an immediate ceasefire. now what the terming of the resolution says is yes there should be humanitarian pauses,

instituted by the u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon. clearly the government of yemen is supportive of the current saudi-led military initiative. it would mean some coordination between the u.n. secretary of general, the general would be speaking to the command. >> trying to take back territory from isil fighters, the focus is on anbar in syria. both sides are claiming they've made gains in the area. iraq prime minister meanwhile is in washington, d.c., there to ask president obama for more weapons to help in the fight against isil. the u.s. has already delivered 300 mine resistant vehicles, 12,000 sets of body armor helmets and first aid kits.

we have more from washington d.c. what more is he going to ask for and how likely is he to get it? >> it's a pretty long list. the iraq prime minister not only wants weapons given on credit, he is looking for economic assistance to make up the budget shortfall and wants humanitarian aid. it's pretty unusual on the president's schedule, president obama has no plans to host a press conference with the prime minister on his first official visit to washington. the white house isn't saying why that is. iraq officials have been leaking quite a built to the press usually found upon. one story is that the u.s. is going to deliver f-16s long awaited f-16s this summer. there's been no confirmation from the white house. we'll be looking very closely to see just exactly what the two leaders say when the press is allowed in only briefly for the meeting in the oval office.

>> how often worried is america that their weapons could fall into the wrong hands? >> they're very concerned that not only isil could get the weapons but also that the behavior of shia militias, that's what they want to focus on. officials trained the iraq military with weapons and they ended up in isil's hands. they have better visibility of who can get those weapons being sent over, because american forces are actually training iraq soldiers, but the prime minister really wants drones, apache helicopters f-16s but the one point owe the main point of leverage has i guess the u.s. led coalition airstrikes. it's not clear the u.s. wants to just give that away. >> patty, thank you. >> now the man in charge of the global coalition against isil said it could take years to defeat the group.

retired general john allen spoke to rosalyn jordan about the challenges that lie ahead. >> retired u.s. general john allen is president obama's man in charge of the global campaign against isil, the islamic state of iraq and the levant. he's worked to stop the group's spread with more than 60 countries. i asked general allen what kind of enemy isil has become. >> i would say that in many respects daish has become a protostate in some respects. it points to a piece of terrain that it calls a capital. it has that attempted local governance three emirs that look like provincial governments. it has even attempted to have its own currency, so in some respects when it transitioned to becoming a protostate, it created its own vulnerabilities. >> isil doesn't have enough

people to hold the lands in syria and iraq it calls its own. coincidentally, the pentagon released this map on monday. officials say that since september, isil has lost between 1.3 and 1.7 million heck tars of territory. in iraq, regaining territory doesn't mean peace. sunni residents say they are targeted by shia militias. president recently made a point of raising the national flag over liberated tikrit. general allen said it will take much more to restore trust. >> does the coalition have a moral obligation to stay engaged to essentially get both sunni and shia to learn how to quo exist again inside iraq? >> the u.s. government, but also more broadly coalition government are very much committed to asking prime

minister abadi in creating the environment of governance that brings to an end the kinds of sectarian strife that have characterized iraqi politics and the iraqi society to this point. >> then there's the problem of foreign fighters. allen and other leaders are trying to figure out how to keep young people from joining isil and on helping them once they come home. >> not only do we need to be prepared to hold them accountable according to the rule of law i think importantly because in the end, we are a compassionate people, it's important to explore how deradicallization can be brought to bear. >> he said the fight against isil will take years but ultimately the group will be defeated. the challenge he said is not letting up the pressure, no matter how long it takes. >> there's much more to come here on the al jazeera news

hour. a pushback on obama's executive power to lift sanctions against iran. >> young and hungry, chinese graduates hit the job fairs. the government warns they might have to scale back expectations. >> there's something fishy about the lagoon set to host the 2016 olympic events. details in sport. >> in guinea, one has died in more anti-government protests in the capitol. this was a scene on monday. police used tear gas as opposition supporters tried to gather. the demonstrators are calling for the penalty to step down. they are angry over the timing of elections and the lack of security in guinea. police fired on demonstrators and at least eight people were

shot. >> gunmen attacked a government believe in somalia's capitol. witnesses say a car bomb exploded outside the ministry of education. at least five were killed in the blast. police believe the armed group al shabab in responsible. >> it's been a year since more than 200 girls were abducted from their school in northeast nigeria. independent capitol, they are demanding they be returned. >> more than 200 girls are gathered today to protest the fact that more than 200 girls were kidnapped a year ago tailed by boko haram and still have not been found. each girl is carrying a small placard which has the name and a number for each of the girls who disappeared a year ago. it's a way of identifying each girl reminding nigerians

reminding the world that each girl is a special individual, that their families are at a great loss, that their families are missing them. the idea is to send a message to the government that these girls must be found. the government's position is they are doing all they can to find the girls but they have faced extraordinary challenges because of the insecurity that we've seen in the northeast. they say the girls have not been forgotten. >> a spokesman for the outgoing government of good luck jonathan joins us live. good to see you. what impact did this kidnapping of the school girls have on education in the country? >> well, essentially in the northeast, we've had our challenges in the past, and which the government is working hard to address. of course there will be fears around young persons or even parents who live around that

area but efforts are being made to allay those fears. there is a platform to make our schools safer and encourage parents to go back to school. there are interventions from private partnership and such interest groups to assist in changing the narrative and orientation of citizens especially in the northeast to go back to school. >> obviously other than the fear nigeria is the country with the highest rate of out of school children. it is an economic powerhouse. how is that possible? >> the government has introduce add number of measures to take, but most of these out of school

children. the initiative is on going. there has been quite a lot of investment in education on the state, local and federal level of late, and all of these are meant to assist in tackling the problem of education to encourage people to go to school and to support the emerging exaltty and reality of the nigerian people. >> one year on and sadly those girls are still missing. we have no idea where they are. what sort of information are you getting about them? it does seem extraordinary that the eyes of the world are on them and the mission and yet very few have been found. june well, clearly the government of nigeria and people of nigeria have not forgotten the girls. there's a deep national commitment on the part of government and also citizens of this country to ensure that the

girls taken are rescued. not just that, not just those but all the citizens who may have found themselves in the middle of captivity and communities also that were taken by boko haram, they were taken back. all of these national--ensuring safety and security of persons and the rescue of our citizens -- >> good talking to you, thank you very much. >> of the more than 200 girls abducted by boko haram, 57 of them managed to escape. we went to meet some of them. >> they don't want to talk about the nights they were kidnapped from their school. instead, they want people to know how they are doing now one year later. first a message to more than 200 of their school mates who that couldn't get away from boko haram that night.

>> i will just pray for them that one day, there is hope that one day god will set them free from the hands of the boko harams. >> these girls escaped from boko haram fighters by jumping off moving vehicles. the armed group had raided a government school and abducted them. the reason why they don't want their faces shown on t.v. is to protect their families and other girls still in school, but they say they need everyone to know that they don't see themselves at victims, not anymore. they plan to go back to the school stronger than ever. mary wants to heal people. >> i want to go to clinic and hospital and help people. >> the new school, the american university of nigeria is still in the northeast, but they are safe here.

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

>> iran's foreign minister says sanctions on his country need to be removed before world powers reach a final nuclear deal. a framework deal was reached after marathon talks in switzerland earlier this month. >> what you need to do is to hold the government of the united states responsible for their international obligations. as far as the agreement goes, whatever happens inside the u.s. and however they want to spin it all the sanctions economic and financial imposed on iran by the u.n., but the e.u. and by the united states must go in the first stage. >> his request comes at u.s. secretary of state john kerry tries to buy more negotiating time from congress. a u.s. committee is set to discuss legislation. >> president obama doesn't need the approval of congress to lift sanctions imposed on iran and

that's what the republican majority on capitol hill wants to change. >> chair of the senate foreign relations committee is pushing the iran nuclear agreement review act of 2015. if passed out of committee and later out of the house and senate it could delay a 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 a 2/3 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 stance on iran in the past. president obama asked his energy secretary to clarify things. he should know. the former m.i.f. nuclear physicists led negotiations with

iran in switzerland and is contacting both republican and democratic senator to say 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 is not just the white house that is lobbying the halls of congress. >> these are very complex and technical issues. >> kelsey davenport from the washington based arms control association is among those also meeting with senators, to convince sceptics the framework deal puts ream limits on iran's nuclear program amounted boosts u.s. national security. her challenge i also 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. >> for now the lobbying

continues. that's because if the unwieldy iran nuclear review act becomes allow, 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. al jazeera washington. >> let's get the weather with robin. there is a curious phenomenon on the pacific coast. >> yes blown on show, just look behind me at this picture. these are seven centimeters across, not quite jellyfish they look that way. it's been stormy there good news for california, but we think thousands if not millions of these things are on the beach. happens every year, but this particular year is really quite an interesting thing to watch. weather wise, the real story is further south.

the southern states have been seeing rain for days on end. northern florida huge amounts of it, flooding ensued. mobile alabama has recorded 205 millimeters in the last two days. you think this is a fairly wet place, well it is, during hurricane season, it can be, but on average it's not on that on average, you wouldn't expect that amount of rain. this is higher than the average for any month. >> from the satellite picture you can see the clouds not quite as bad as it was. on the ground, this is fort worth in texas. that's what 205 millimeters looks like when falling all at once. >> in southern texas in the other states, there is yet more rain to come. >> stay with us on the news hour. still ahead evidence of chemical attacks in syria. we speak to the rights group that little government forces dropping barrel bombs with gas.

>> you're watching the aljazeera america, a reminder of our top

stories. in yemen heavy fighting, tribes have taken control of one of yemen's ports. in aden, 23 houthi fighters have surrendered to them. >> prime minister abadi will ask president obama for more weapons to help fight isil. >> campaigners in nigeria are marking one year since more than 200 school girls were kidnapped by boko haram. the government said it is still committed to finding them. >> human rights watch said there is strong evidence to suggest syrian government forces have used toxic chemicals in several barrel bomb attacks. rescue workers have reported the attacks that affected over 200 people including civil defense workers. one attack killed six civilians

including three children. for years the syrian regime has been accused of using chemical weapons. in 2012, the u.s. president warned president assad the use of chemical weapons was a red line not to be crossed. the following year inspectors confirmed the nerve agent sarin was used in an attack in damascus. 1300 people died in that attack. two months later the international chemical weapons catch dog began the pros of dismantling syria's chemical weapons. it completed the process in september of last year. on him joined now by the senior emergencies researcher for human rights watch in new york. thank you very much for joining us. please tell us more about this find of the use of chemical weapons and the victims. >> human rights watch has been investigating these attacks and

for the latest round that happened in idlib province in northern syria we spoke to rescue workers medical personnel, eyewitnesses, reviewed dozens of videos and photos and our conclusion is that in at least three attacks there is very strong evidence that government forces from helicopters dropped barrel bomb with toxic chemicals. there are reports about more attacks using chemical attacks chemical toxic chemicals but we have not been able to verify all of attacks because of the difficult research conditions in the area. >> tell us more about the impact of these attacks. >> all of these attacks that we have investigated included, contained some sort of toxic chemicals. the people on the ground reported that victims exhibited symptoms difficult breathing

burning red eyes and sometimes the difficulty breathing was such that people died from it. we documented that at least six civilians died, three of them children aged from one to three years old. that that combined with the find of gas canisters on the ground at the attack site and people reporting a strong smell of chlorine is a strange indication strong evidence for us that chemicals were used, although we are not able to independently verify that this was chlorine that was used. >> you say it's government troops responsible for this. how is this possible? the international chemical weapons catch dog began the process of dismantling syria's chemical weapons they say they were pretty effective. >> chlorine is not listed among the chemical weapons and chlorine is a substance that has many legitimate uses, as well,

but it can also be used as we've seen in syria also a weapon, and this is the problem. partially what's so outrageous about these latest attacks we have documented is that the first of them came only 10 days after the u.n. security council had adopted a resolution condemning chlorine attacks previous attacks in syria and threatened to use chapter seven measures if they were used again. now it is really up to the u.n. security council if it's going to have any credibility left on syria to take strong measures and actions. >> what can be done now now that you know this? >> first thing that needs to be done is for the security council to demand that the opcw, the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons have full access to these sites and get the agreement from both government and opposition forces to really determine conclusively what was used. human rights watch is calling on

the security council to demand this access, that the security council should also impose an arms emborg go on syria adopt sanctions against officials implicated in violations and refer the situation in syria to the international criminal court. >> all right good to have you with us. june government forces in syria bombed opposition held areas in aleppo for a third day. fighting between the many groups trying to gain control of the city is also getting worse and along with it, the humanitarian situation. we have this report. >> field hospitals in part of aleppo held by the opposition are struggling to cope with the rising numbers of the wounded. they are short of doctors and met 16. >> all of the wounded were civilians. there were no fighters among them. there are women and children who are still under the rubble.

>> people there say the syrian government has increased barrel bomb attacks on this and other parts in western aleppo. people say when these bombs drop entire families disappear and rescuers dig for days to get the bodies. >> why are you doing this? we are supposed to be your people the fighters of the fsa could bomb the areas under the regime's control but they won't do it as a matter of revenge. we are muslims and take into consideration there are women an children here. >> fighters sound the alarm when planes are discovers and people run for cover. overnight bombardment has intensified in and around aleppo. activists say the situation has worded and schools and markets have been closed in rebel held areas of the city. barrel bombs around the only threat. fighting between multiple groups

in aleppo intensified. the observatory said regime forces backed by al-nusra are fighting. the country side near the military airport is held by isil trying to capture more territory. it's not just aleppo. there are classes at this school near homs. forced to leave from the district even here, she is struggling pro provide provide for her children. this portion of homeys under perpetual siege. >> we were displaced and i don't even know what happened to my husband. i have three children. my son was killed while he was working. i don't even know where he was buried. >> as syria's war drags on, there is no end in sight for

a normal human being eating like this. everything go in our dishes, we don't have enough water to wash our bodies. i haven't washed my body after one week. >> this was of the jungle, alleges the migrants who used to camp here called it. it is deserted now cleared out by the authorities who have directed all inhabitants to this patch of land, bringing them together in one place though not under one roof, only the luckier ones have those. welcome to what they now call the new jungle, same people, same goal, same problems. >> this camp is flanked by a busy motor way. it sits under a chemical plant yet for those who live here, there are no basic amenities, no toilets, no running water. in fact, the nearest tap they have access to is about a kilometer away. what they do have is the

knowledge that they will be left relatively alone by the authorities because they have been told to come here specifically to stay. this is for all intents and purposes a state sanctioned slum. >> a day center provides food down the road. they seek help in the shadow of a world war two bunker. it was war at home that brought many to this place. makeshift mosques and deliveries of bread bring a sense of community to people of the same aim, to cross the channel whatever it takes. >> we get a constant new stream of refugees. we get about 20-30 new people every day and sometimes 20 go to england every day and sometimes less. sometimes more. this winter, there were quite a few that managed to make it into the u.k. >> for each ferry that leaves cali with cargo, it is

to australia in 1804, the wildcat population today is in the tens of millions. in tasmania, there are thought to be twice as many cats as people. they are causing big problems. for farmers, it's the disease they spread, making pregnant sheep lose their unborn lambs. >> it's an economic issue for the farmer losing a large proportion of sheep in their first year. >> feral cats are chewing through other species, they eat small mammals, lizards and in sects, traditionally the animals prey to animals of australia. >> you take anything out of that linkage, you get severe effect one way or the other. australia has the worst history of mammal extinctions in the world. feral cats reminding us increasing numbers are only going to push that extinction

record further and further. >> why so many cats in tasmania in particular? a lack of these, tasmanian devils is part of the answer, as cat numbers go up, the number of tasmanian devils has gone down. it's not because the cats are eating the devils. it's because the devils are no longer eating the cats. the devils and their piercing cry are in trouble. a disease has wiped out three quarters of them. >> that grows into a gross ugly tumor on the face, mouth and head and the devil dies of starvation. >> as they do less scavenging, there's more for cats. devils aren't eating as many kittens. to most australians, cats are pets, but say wildcats should be

considered a different species. >> what's happening in sports? >> there are concerns about water safety for athletes at next year's rio olympics. thousands of dead fish were found on the banks of the lake which will host rowing and canoeing events. environmental agencies are investigating the cause which is believed to be pollution and recent strong rains in the city. it's the second venue under scrutiny with a bay also criticized for heavy pollution levels. >> euroing and you start to feel sick nauseous, so you have to stop training and go and rest. in terms of rowing, the dead fish get in the way they block
