♪ >> announcer: this is al jazeera. ♪ hello there welcome to the news hour i'm live from the headquarters in doha and coming up in the next 60 minutes egypt ousted president morsi put to death for a prison break that happened four years ago. [gunfire] iraq sends in reenforcements to take on i.s.i.l. fighters in the city of ramadi. growing concerns in burundi about revenge attacks after a failed coup.

plus. i'm erica woods on south africa's western cape coast and fishing and oil spills put the continent species of penguin at the risk of extinction. ♪ an egyptian court sentenced former president mohamed morsi to death, the verdict relates from a mass jail break in 2011 during the revolution that topped mubark and he and others escaped and more than 100 others have also been sentenced to death and tried. the case will now go to the grand egypt's highest authority and if he agrees with sentence he can hand the case back to trial judge. the former president facing several other charges include conspiring to spy and commit acts of terrorism in egypt see

that peninsula with hamas and hezbollah anicka tar that supported the government and morsi accused of fraud with economic and social programs and insulted for accusing a judge of overseeing election fraud. morsi denies all those allegations and let's talk more about the death sentence now and we have a fellow in residence of the graduate school of journalism in new york a former managing editor and joins me in the studio and death sentence what is your reaction to that was that the expected sentence for mohamed morsi? >> definitely, it was expected and i believe that most of the people expected such sentence to come out. >> it's not the end of the matter because it will go before the grand mufdi, if he says he doesn't agree with it what happens then? >> well according to the egyptian constitution the

decision of the grand mufdi is not mandatory so it's not compelling to the judiciary. but then again, i mean it could be a safe exit for the judiciary to back off such grass mass sentence, death sentence. >> do you think this sentence against mohamed morsi will have an impact on muslim brotherhood or are they too weak now to make any kind of protests? >> i do not recall the number of death sentences so far, you know, that has been an issue so far during the last two years. so i believe that it's just another mass death sentence but then again the most important thing is to discuss in details

the grounds on which people can refute such horrible sentence. >> well this is the huge concern, isn't it you mentioned the mass death sentences, it seems that court cases are happening all the time in egypt where there are numerous people sentenced together on mass to death after a very short hearing. >> it's not only about the mass death sentences, being customary in egyptian courts during the last two years but in this specific case there are many legal grounds to refute this bad verdict. i mean for example, i mean, the judiciary itself the court itself is unconstitutional because according to the constitution of 2012 and even the most resent one issued after sisi took over as a president

there is a special court for the president, the parliament has to endorse an impeachment with two-thirds majority and according to this impeachment a special formation of court has to be set up headed by the head of the president of the court of casation and membership of the longest serving ditiety of the supreme court and none of this happened. also many other things like this testimony given by the former chief of staff, attorney general annan during the trial of mobark former p when he negated all allegations about hamas and crossing over the borders and breaking to free the prisoners. there are many legal grounds to refute this mass death sentence. >> interesting stuff thank you

very much indeed for speaking with us in the studio. >> thank you. now to iraq where the army has sent extra soldiers to the city of ramadi as they try to push out islamic state of iraq and levante and i.s.i.l. in control of 90% of ramadi the capitol of anbar and give the group a stronghold 100 kilometers from baghdad. on friday aisles fightered carried out 20 suicide attacks and violence forced many to flee ramadi. over 100,000 have now been displaced in the last month alone. elsewhere in anbar i.s.i.l. carried out three suicide attacks targeting a joint shia base and 25 died when they rigged the main gates of the post and i.s.i.l. in control of most of the province cynne simpson since last year and dana has more from baghdad. >> reporter: reaction to i.s.i.l. take over of the government compound in ramadi.

the iraqi prime minister abadi acknowledged this was a military defeat for the iraqi government but at the same time he did promise a tough response and he did promise to recapture this territory. he did receive a phone call from the u.s. vice president joe biden, america is promising to send more weapons but the u.s. which is leading the coalition against i.s.i.l. played down the significance of i.s.i.l.'s gains in ramadi and believe they are still on offensive anti -- iraq and what can the government do and they still decide on who is going to wage the battle in anbar and in early april they announced a military campaign to recapture the western province, the regular forces are too weak and if the government sends in iran backed shia malitia it will cause tension and leaders in

anbar are advising against it and they want weapons and want to wage this battle alone but politicians in baghdad are reluctant to do that and believe that the sunni tribes are sympathetic with i.s.i.l. while we still don't know who will wage this battle, what the government plans to do and civilians are trapped in the conflict residents have been fleeing ramadi and there are real fears that i.s.i.l. will punish and kill those who were cooperating with the government. so dire situation for the people inside and clearly no clear strategy by the iraqi government on how to recapture ramadi and, in fact, we capture the whole province where i.s.i.l. really has the upper ground. well we have an iraqi parliament member and joins us live from baghdad and thank you very much for speaking with us. if ramadi falls to i.s.i.l. completely, how damaging is that going to be for iraq's government?

>> thank you very much and you know as we know i.s.i.l., they attack ramadi and in early april and they took men and neighborhoods near ramadi and but the downturn of ramadi, it was not occupied. yesterday they start a huge attack very aggressive attack and they took over this all ramadi center and the government compound, the police station, so i think if ramadi fall down this will be very dangerous to the iraqi government, that means they will have direct way from syrian border until the border of baghdad because they will -- now they are already in fallujah

and they are already in fallujah also so they will have a direct way. >> why is it proving so difficult for the iraqi army to tackle i.s.i.l.? >> i think there is no serious -- no serious action from the iraqi government to i.s.i.l. in anbar and you know the solution is not only military solution. we need behind the military solution. we need political solution. with the local people with the sunni community. as you know when we formed the government we agree on several points to be executed after the government formation. one from the most important point is the national

reconciliation and the formation of the national guards. the national guard that means we can hire more local people to join their security forces. these local security forces they can fight with the iraqi army with the iraqi police. >> but a lot of the local people, a lot of the local people don't trust iraqi government and also don't trust the shia malitias who have come in and saying that the iraqi government is now controlled by iran. >> and listen to me, this is i think i mean some of confusion. it's not the local people they don't trust the iraqi government. the iraqi government they don't trust their local people.

the local people they are a victim now. they are the victim for i.s.i.l. the first victim of i.s.i.l. are the local body who fled now and don't have no where to go and no where to live they don't have something to eat. so it's not a question of there is a miscommunication between the iraqi government and the local government. there is miss trust also between the central government and the local people. the iraqi government, they have the weapons. it's not the local people that have weapons. iraqi government they have the weapons but still they after training of almost 9,000 people from and varied people and trained by the u.s. advisor and assad air base but still until now and to today there is no weapons, no one gives them weapons to fight.

so how you want their local people to fight and they don't have weapons. i think iraqi government has to trust the local people, has to create some kind of a trustable network between their local people and their iraqi government and help them, help them and take it from them guarantees to fight because know if we stay now we are in the front of a big humanitarian crisis and in addition to the military crisis now we are under big humanitarian crisis. >> you make a very interesting point. >> humanitarian. >> absolutely, there is a huge number of people displaced from ramadi and we will have to leave it there, thank you very much indeed for joining us iraqi member of parliament there in

baghdad. >> just one minute, just one minute if it's possible. >> we really don't have a minute. i would like to get your thoughts in more detail but i'm afraid we have run out of time. >> and always when we talk about the humanitarian crisis no one wants to listen to us and this is not fair. this is a responsibility for the international community. >> indeed. >> these people they don't have any crimes. they didn't do any crimes against anyone. >> indeed okay. >> united nations and international community, they have to be responsible. the international media have to raise this issue. >> indeed, very good points there, we really really are going to have to leave it there but thank you very much indeed for making a point. we do appreciate it. more to come here on the al jazeera news hour why mali rebels have backed out of a

viability of fuel. air, sea spaces are still restricted except for the five days humanitarian and access to areas which has the most horrible conflicts like sanaa and aiden, those are the most challenges that we usually face in our -- in delivering our humanitarian aid and food. >> sammy, thank you very much indeed for giving us an update on the situation there sammy from islamic relief speaking to us from sanaa there. to syria where i.s.i.l. appears to be closing in on the ancient city of palmira and shelling is targeting on the outskirts of the world heritage site and they have sent reenforcements to the area and they will open the road to damascus and homs. burundi's president insists

peace has returned to the country after failed attempt to overthrow him, and he is deficient for a third term in office sparked weeks of violent protests and said life the back to normal and urged the community to support his government. >> translator: we ask the world to be friends of burundi because if they stop supporting it it will be like they are opening doors to trouble. that will strengthen people who want to seize pour by force and brings pour that is not democratic and refuse to acknowledge the voice of the people it will bring war, poverty and other atrocities we have seen in the country. in the capitol people fear reprisals after doctors accuse the police of entering a hospital and shooting injured fighters and malcolm web has more. >> reporter: soldier came to hospital injured and had been fighting for leaders of burundi attempted coup. then after the coup leaders

people about the demonstrations things we didn't want to hear about. >> reporter: but most of the streets in the capitol were quiet with loyalists, police and soldiers in control. after the coup attempt fighters loyal to the president attacked and burned independent t.v.s and radios. now the only radio and t.v. on air is a state broadcasters controlled by the government. when president zizi returned to the capitol with supporters welcomed him but the activists who had been organizing the process for a third term and many are in hiding or fled the country and government says those in the attempted coup will go on trial. activists are still calling for more protests on monday against the third term and burundi's political crisis is far from over.

malcolm web, al jazeera. we have a researcher at the nordic africa institute and joins us from sweden and good to have you with us angela will we see a new round of violence and appraisal attacks in burundi as the alleged coup leaders are punished? >> people have great reason to fear and as malcolm reported there are fears of reprisal attacks. i know that a number of independent journalists have reported that they need to go into hiding and perhaps what is most worrying is that the government under this that is now responsible for meeting out some form of judicial process, that should be fair and non-arbitrary and i know that opposition leaders are also fearing that they will be arrested or held accountable for the attempted coup.

>> what do you think he is going to do now? is he going to hold elections? >> i think he has got every reason to want to hold elections. i'm aware that external support, for example, belgium has suspended its funding for electoral process pending a more sort of democratic peaceful environment on the ground. the fact that belgium suspended funding now would be worrying to him. but i think he has every desire and interest most likely to go ahead and try and have elections. but i would be surprised if they were free and fair >> i wanted to ask you about the fact that unicef is saying something like 100,000 people most of them women and children have now fled burundi and heading to neighboring countries like rwanda and tanzinia and is

there a refugee crisis of what is going on in burundi? >> it's a crisis directly related to the political situation inside the country. many people started to leave well before the announcement of the third term for him which was on april 25th. those numbers have slowly climbed and i think now they are really climbing quite rapidly. so people are worried about violence intimidation and harassment around the elections and particularly around this third term debate or yeah quandary. >> thank you very much for that and good to get your thoughts and angela speaking to us from sweden and time for the weather and is this typhoon another super typhoon? >> no, it will not reach the category and different place than the other typhoon and with

the typhoon season and look at satellite pictures and most are formed further in the pacific and keep away from mainland masses and this didn't but dolphin has and closer inspection passing through guam and no visible eye and the islands outlined in pink and bigger context and look at the blue disk and compare it above my head and it's rains across china setting in and similar sort of size. this is of course a different thing typhoon and when it passed guam it was gusting 65 miles per hour and 80 millimeters of rain it's a lot but we have seen much worse. since then it's got a bit bigger and developed a visible eye and drifts to the northwest and now it's a category four typhoon and staying out at sea and it's turning right going past here and, in fact, three day's time and should stay well away from japan as it carries on in that direction. now i mentioned the rains in

comparison in china, this is spring rains and plumb rains in many places it's called that and produces flooding because you get typically 70 80 160 millimeters of rain and results is be devastated or can be fun, take your pick. eventually they are useful. >> rob thanks very much for that. do stay with us on the news hour, still to come we are in southeast mexico to find out the truth behind the killing of 22 people who surrendered to police. plus. i'm charlie at the cann film festival where amid the hollywood hype palestinian films performing well. attack could leave a lasting sting for couples in argentina, we will have details coming up, in sport. ♪

work going around some islands as well as evidence potentially of a runway being built. now, the united states is worried that some of these islands could be used to station missile systems but in turn could be used to enforce an exclusion zone should beijing wish to do so. now almost all of the south china sea is claimed by beijing but this area also contains some of the world's busyist shipping lanes and the united states is worried about freedom of navigation in the south china sea. so mr. kerry has come here with essentially a very blunt message and that is to pull back, to halt construction work that has been going on. now, in resent days the obama administration has spoken darkly about the need to send u.s. ships and war planes to the south china sea to potentially challenge beijing's sovereignty claims. beijing has reacted angry to that saying that it won't be passive in the face of such and

will defend sovereignty. it also points out other rival claimants to the islands in the south china sea have been doing the same thing, namely philippines and vietnam and washington has been silent in the face of that action proving that washington is guilty of what it says is a cold war, knee-jerk mentality. mexico will pay more than $3 million in compensation to the relatives of criminal suspects who killed by soldiers last year, human rights investigation found government troops shot the suspects after they surrendered and john has more in southeast mexico. >> reporter: the town is buried deep in the mexican countryside that few had heard of it before the killings of last june. soldiers shot dead 22 people in the shootout with gang members the army said and authorities praised their victory over
