tony harris from new york. the news continues next live from london. prepare a counterattack as isil fighters rout the army. ministers agree to use force to take on the people smugglers. the press sacks the defense of those as they reclaim the

streets of the capital. all the sports news, the rematch between swarez and, the turkish ref has been put in charge of the match and he's a controversial figure in the past the conflict in iraq intensifying, as they captured ramadi, almost 200,000 people, shia militia groups are now getting ready and capital of anbar province and air raids and, 19 strikes near the city, in the last 72 hours and iran, says it will help the iraqi

government to confront isil, if it is asked. well isil fights are advancing east, towards that base, where the shia militia are gathering. and, now, from the capital. the depotment of shia militia is a controversial decision. there are many who are warning that this could cause tensions, the possibility of clashes between the sunni tribes, and the shia militias, and it means that the government has to rely on its force because its regular forces are too weak, and only shows how they are stronger than the state in iraq. sunni leaders are warning against this and, they are asking to be armed and they want to take this fight up by themselves, in the interim, more than 8,000 people have been

displaced and the human suffering is only worsening in this country. they were caught in the cost fire, and now they have no place to go, according to the international organization for migration, 8,000 people were forced to leave ramadi, when they they advanced into their city. but people who headed towards baghdad are being questioned they want to make sure that no fighters from isil make it into the city. why aren't would he allowed to go to baghdad? aren't we in the same country it's better to die than to live this life. anger towards the government runs deep, in the sunni province and there is a feeling, that they have been betray he. we spent two days on the road and, we were humiliated at

government checkpoints and we can't understand, that security forces just retreated why did they do that? ramadi, the capital of the heartland belongs to isil at least for now. this was released by the group anbar seems have been abandoned after a three-day operation. up to 500 security personnel and civilians were killed, either in the fighting while others who worked for the government were murdered by isil. now, they were ready to launch a counter offensive, and they offer it under the government sanctioned popular mobilelatsation forces. they were responsible for pushing isil but they have been accused of human rights abuses and many people have still not returned to their homes. in ramadi, the regular army and the local police were no

match for isil, many were seen escaping from the city, many are blaming the government. right now we have very few option's the ground, and, the best is to train and arm the local tribes, the only group operating under the command of the prime minister is the she a shia militia, and the reluctance in bringing the sunni tribes on board played a factor, in the fall of ramadi and the retreat of the forces. that decision will alienate many sunni tribes and some said they would consider their involvement a iranian occupation of their province. it is a sunni area. there is as ethnic dispute and it's about ten years and, there will be a clash. definitely, between the tribes, and the shia militia.

and secondly it's more weakening the central government. why? because it is not the army, who is getting in. ramadi was isil's first major gain after a series of defeats, the united states which leads the coalition insists it is confident that ramadi will be recaptured. that may happen, but winning the political battle could be harder. there is little or no reckon southbound iation. take a look at these pictures showing it is said, the center of ramadi, a day after isil took control and black flag, and, ramadi's grand mosque. pictures, right near and footage was released by the news agency, a activist group which is sympathetic to isil.

these pictures, show isil supporters celebrating in ramadi sharing flag waving, and members of the public, and it is said to have been filmed on sunday and that's what it is claimed to be but we can't say for sure. let's go to manchester, the former adviser, to the iraqi government. good to have you with us, what do you think about the suggestion that arming the sunni tribes is the only way, in that area to defeat isil, side-by-side, with the shia militia, which the sunni tribes loatd. it's acrim cat element but it is not the only way for the simple reason, isil has a strategy and it is adopting its

strategy to change circumstances, and unfortunately, the strategy, that is adopted, by the iraqi government and even by the u.s. has misconceived the nature of isil, i think there is a disconnect between focusing on guns and arming tribes or militias and, the real cutting the real supply that isil has the fact that it feed's the political failures, and lack of military discipline, amongst the militia's all these factors are critical to the growth of isil. and it feeds into the borders. but that's a long-term strategy, and perhaps something that should have been addressed a long time ago. ramadi has been taken by isil, and the people there are

trapped and they say the shia militia can't help, and neither can the army. what do you do. arming them is critical, but it's an illusion to think, that by pumping more arms, into this loose region, will necessarily put the fire down or counter isil. i think far more is needed. the iraqi army is weak, and the militia's are outweigh them, and, there are hundreds of thousands of people being victimized and exposed, to no real government to protect them. all these feed directly into isil's strengths. it's getting on for twelve months now since isil was front-and-center and, a lot of things were happening and particularly, in mosul and those parts of iraq, and in many

ways we hear about the assassination of the operation and, retaking certain bits of territory, it would be fair to say, it is far worse than it was one year ago. all the stratgists they have not yet grasped the real nature ofssism it is not a terrorist group, this is as new phenomena it has its international links and it is feeding on a region that is full of chaos and feeding on the sectarian tension between iran and, saudi arabia and, many agenda days, that are pushed on iraq, that wants to weaken the government, and army. so that beast is something that doesn't fit any textbook, that they have. and unless some shift, in the

way it is dealt with take place there will be more carnage. thank you. now, a e.u. naval operation from stopping people from smuggling people, into europe, could be launched in just a few weeks. e.u. ministers backed it, in a meeting they held in brussels, more than 10,000 have been rescued, trying to get to europe from libya. we adopted the crisis management concept, and the decision to establish the operation with headquarters in rome and this will allow us to continue to start the operational plan, with the commander and in the headquarters and to prepare for the launch of the operation

itself. hopefully, already, at the next foreign affairs council in june, we might be ready to adopt the launch of the operation. that will help as we have to follow the recommendations, and the work that the commander will have in the coming weeks. jackie, in brussels, you were listening to what she had to say, in terms of the process where do we go now? well really, the main words today, has been urgent, and, the fact that there is a recognition that this is an urgent problem and it's going to be become only more urgent as the real summer sailing season begins, which is why the secretary was focusing on june the requirements to get pledges of help, from the various e.u. nations and we're talking about ships to carry

out the operation and satellites, and personnel and money. they're hoping that they can have that in place western the next month. then, not just surveillance, and, intelligence gathering and actually talking about military operations and vessels and destroying vessels and international waters, they would need the u.n. security council resolution again. they hope to have that by the end of june. the most difficult part is securing cooperation within libya, itself, they want information on how they operate. and the question of getting cooperation from libya is a very tricky one because there is no central authority, that the e.u. can talk to. there are lots of factions. they have expressed opposition.

so there is political will to do something, but there is still quite a few obstacles ahead. thanks. now, to central avenue from a ka, the president now sank three members of his cab what net after a failed coup last week. gunshots from police, in the capital, where protests against the president continue. there are calls still to postpone the next month presidential election because of the growing public unrest and president is looking for a third term in office. something his opponents don't want. now, the latest. it's interesting watching people here, they knew that he was going to make changes and if he suffer surprised a coup, and what is surprising, is that he as civilian, not someone who

knows about it. and they're now asking what is the president up to? what is the game? what is the plan? most of them seem top understand or know that the president will likely appoint people he thinks that he can work with, and people that he thinks he can trust and that is indeed another exowp they won't try to stab him in the back. they will still carry on, with the protests and they don't want him to get a third term should the elections happen. they are concerned. they have announced that anyone who goes on the streets against the president will be kerd to be someone who is working with the coup, and now they are concerned fearing the worst, and monday, different parts of capital and they'll grow into bigger numbers later. and, their staying away for now and wait and see what happens. and "testing the waters," their

fear is they anticipate a huge clamp down on anyone who goes on the streets. because the president is defiant to stay in power. now coming up on the news, u.n. calls on governments to do more for migrants. why political face are hindering recovery efforts in nepal, after a 7 stroke victory, why the world number 1 golfer, roary mcillroy thinks he can get better

. fighters opposed to the houthi are on the offensive. the center of province was seized by houthi fighters a few months ago. it's become a houthi base, in their push to capture the southern cities. fighting resumed after the cease-fire expired sunday night. houthi are shelling government troops. as the war goes on, millions of yemen people are facing hard times. the the province isn't the only area with food, and water and fuel shortage. the international community are pushing for another truce so that aid can reach the wounded. the iranian navy is escorting a ship it's said to contain tons

of aid but saudi arabia, accuses iran of helping the houthi. we need a very serious concern, to deliver this, and of course, the political solution is the only solution and that's why we believe that yemen, the dialogue should take place under the u.n. talks are underway in saudi arabia. key factions are expected to reach agreement on how to end the conflict. but, the houthis aren't taking part, they dismiss it, as irrelevant. the united states, which is fighting in yemen fears more instability with a power vacuum. without a political government, that can continue to move the parties towards conclusion of the transition,

then that would be very dflt, i'm optimistic, that the people, when given a chance, all parties can sit down and come to an agreement. the u.n. has invited all to meet in geneva to negotiate a peace deal. yemen's warring fashiontions have not agreed how to move forward. call the houthi rebels have the backing the of people. a a court has cleared two police officers, charged with the death of two teens. they were accused the not helping the boys despite knowing they were in danger, their deaths sparked weeks of riots and, now this want are.

suspense in the courtroom before the verdict the families, of the boys hoping their long ordeal would end with a conviction of two police officers. his father had traveled, to be here. he was 17 when he died and,, the other was 15, chased by police they jumped into an electric substation where they were electrocuted and then, rioting against france, and the government de complaird a state of emergency. we were not allowed to film the verdict. the judge ruled there was no clear evidence that the police knew that the two boys were in danger and therefore they could not have been expected to help them. the two police officers were acquitted.

there was despair from the friends and family, this woman shouts we waited ten years and the police are above the law. this trial has highlighted some of france's deepest social wounds. it examined the sense of ail lee nation that many people feel. and these problems are as relevant in 2015 as they were in 2005. but the lawyer for the police officer was addaley man. the case was always weak and unconvincing he said. from the first day, i have always said, this trial should never have come to court. it was something like out of putin's russia. no new evidence came out whatsoever. so, the police will feel vindicated and there is a danger that this may polarize the society, rather than heal it

the prime minister due to have a rally and it is because of protests with tens of thousands of demonstrators demanding he resign. they say, he is involved in corruption and wiretapping. they say in there and let's talk to you. tell us what we're seeing on the screens now, banners being waved, and anthems being sung, and we'll hear from the prime minister or what? yes, well, if you can hear it, i can. it's -- it's more after contrast what we have seen and how things looked yesterday at the opposition rally. and lots of speeches. and now, this is the first speech that we're hearing and

they have been playing rousing music and flags and, mass a dodie en, and serbian and interestingly enough, no albanian flags. i don't think many would feel very comfortable here and, they were out yesterday. the prime minister is planning on holding onto his seat, and i think it's gone very quiet, the crowd, remembers, some of those who were killed last weekend. policemen who were killed in very violent incident. which is all part of the crisis that has now hit macedonia. but, he has pledged to stay on. despite the resignations, and violence, last weekend and, this is a show of strength to the

opposition, that is not going to stand down and he can get these people out onto the streets of the capital is an indication that he still has broad support and, there is a large crowd but they're all into a very narrow strip, to create a sense that there are more people here than they are. the park next door to it, and it's spread out. much fewer people. thank you. we thank you. the u.n. is calling on south asia, to help those at sea. those that made it to shore are being housed in shelters, without showers and thigh

land and turning away boat loads of migrants. crisis is the biggest thing since the vietnamese war. malaysia has taken a lenient approach and they could be changing, leaving the ordinary people, to offer the help, if their government won't. now, rob reports. they have fulfilled the dream of many. they hold the u.n. paperwork that gives them a refuge, from persecution, and the paying work that gives them a way out of poverty. he came here ten years ago and his son followed on a boat, five years later. the experience of their friends is prove of how dangerous the journey can be. he told us he was shot over

food. the government should let them come in. it has resources. it should not push them. there is widespread sympathy with individuals and organizations, starting campaigns to help the migrants and fellow human beings just like you and me, and coming this way for a better life and some have been suffering and because of genocide. a week ago the fishermen found they will selves inundated with several hundred migrants. they never saw that and they thought they were under attack. they wanted to help so we collected money for food and drinks. on the beach where they scrambled assure you still find

evidence of their arrival. if they are to be rebatre eighted to miramar, it would be the only sign, that they were here. unlike those that came before them, it is detention and a likely return to miramar the message, that the newcomers are no longer welcome here. they hope it will go stronger than what they are escaping. do stay with us. and now we're off to columbia, the latest on rescue operations after a terrible landslide. and the refugees who are being given a chance, in lebanon and we have the n.b.a., the rockets and the final series. stay with us. if you can.

the center of ramadi a day after isil took control thousandses of members, have arrived near ramadi and, they say to retake the city from isil. e.u. agreed to launch a military operation to disrupt the business model of people smuggling organization, and of trafficking networks. gunfire in parts of the capital, in central avenue from a ka, and protesting, against the president, who is now sacked three members of his cabinet after an attempted coup. a number of people, several thousand thought from the black minority are protesting about racism and police brutality. and, the correspondence spon dent, who is in tell, and the reason why they are there, i

think is because this isn't the first protest. this is an issue that has been going on for sometime and it really boiled to a head a few weeks ago when a video after black israeli soldier was seen being beaten by a group of police officers, now that sparked street protests which turned violent and since then, we have had a series of small protests and this evening we have had one of the largest today, around 1,000 people came out to the streets marched through the streets for several kilometers calling for what they described as a end to racism in israeli society and they have discussed how they want to see the government take more action against what they see as discrimination that is systemic within the police force and, within government agencies

as well and you can see just over my shoulder, people streaming away, including a lot of security forces. flfts a lot of security that was deployed to this protest and it was, largely peaceful and we don't have any indications that it turned violent and saying that it appears to be taking this issue very seriously and the president benjamin netanyahu, said he is forming a committee that will look at ending racism, in israel, and the people we have been speaking to said, they're not convinced. thank you. now, a landslide killed maybe as many as 40 people if not more and heavy rains causing a river to burst its bank as you can see the damage is being pretty extensive and

police, you can still see them there, looking for those, that are missing. and, he's in the capital, and from that distance, what picture are you getting? well, this is one of the biggest incidents due to rain, and, at least for four or five years, in the country there has been many problems, in different regions, and entire towns were wiped out and, we had not seen anything like this, since then, and what we know, from the latest report, come from the region, is that there are already 49 people, who have died and at least 100 who are -- who have disappeared at this point, the mayor of the town said that the village, has been completely erased from the map. so, the situation is evolving, every moment, but this is

definitely, a major tragedy, the biggest in the history of the town. well, thank you very much. thousands of minors are on strike to put pressure on the government to strengthen labor laws unionized workers are taking part, demanding the repealing after law which makes it easier to fire employees and, restrict contractors. they are the third largest producer of silver and copper. 13 drugs have entered a town and activists say, the red cross will distribute the aid. more than 2,000 families in the town haven't received any assistance for more than a year, inside those wagons, there are

food medicine and mattresses and wheel-chairs. lebanese army says it has detained more than 50 refugees for having expired papers. that are 1.2 million living in lebanon, and most in formal camps. and they were on the border and in that camp, they are finding life particularly tough. now, on one aid group trying to change that. he as pastry chef and he normally makes sweets and sometimes they want him to make pizza, sos giving it a shot, and he got an opportunity that's rare. they offered to give me this shop and provide all the equipment for free, earn a living for my family and get to employ other workers.

a charity group run the camp. it relies on cash donations from chartties. 450 new cabins have been allocated to refugees, costing half a million dollars and it wants to create a self sustaining community so those with a skill get a small business. he is a barber and he's now able to feed his family of five. it depends some days i make $9 and sometimes $8 offer more, after this shop, i can afford to buy my family food, and it is very, very good. we got almost everything. but even with the improved conditions, life is basic. over 1,500 live here and, it is tough and, there are complaints. this camp is considered to be the best in leb about non most families get to live in cab

ben's like this, with its own toilet and, there are lack of water, and only six hours of electricity everyday and, most people agree, they won't find a better place. there are over 1.2 million syrian refugees, and many live in 10th he is under harsh conditions and, it has put strains on the infrastructure and, government has imposed restrictions on those that want to come here. some feel they might feel encouraged to stay. back, the head of the aid group, says they are overwhelmed and, all the help provided to the refugees is temporary. they want to return, this is a temporary living and, no one wants to stay away from their country and homes, and if syria returns, we will take it back there, until people settle in their own homes.

syria is just behind this mountain but for them, it will be a long while before the short journey back begins. briton's royal navy says it is investigating safety concerns about the nik kle arweapons program after a whistle-blower said it was a disaster waiting to happen, he is on the run after publishing, the allegations. he says, he will hand himself into police and now the report. failing security it, leaking subs with fire risks and lack of rules for seamen, this is not the sort of think the british defense ministry is a fitting description. it is the ones that been painted by this man a certain man, of the royal navy and went

on the run. the document contains his i.d. card. in a short description he describes how they weren't searched and there were leaks inside the subs and, close to sensitive electrical equipment he and others managed to climb inside a nuclear missile. and this would have given a terrorist a perfect opportunity. all this comes at a sensitive time. the scottish national party which is anti nuclelar, had just won 56-59 seats in westminster. this is a political gift. it's just allegations but they are very serious and they have to be looked at immediately. and, i think, the minister of defense has to get an inquiry

into what has been alleged because they are serious feelings, and if half of that is true than it is worrying. the navy takes security, and nuclear safety seriously. but, they won't be reassured by the assertions that they are sea worthy and safe, some might argue that this makes the case for a replacement and it makes the capability, look unconvincing. john kerry said the north korea ria has not slowed down the weapon program. he said this, they had test fired a missile. strongly condemning it, and calling for an end.

john kerry was in the south korea, where he met the president. prime minister appear for more help after the earthquake, and, he says his country needs more funds for infrastructure and rebuilding. it is serious political face, in nepal which still hasn't agreed to a constitution. from katmandu, andrew simmons reports. the people don't trust the ground they walk on any more. no one can gauge how long it will take to recover and beyond that, is there trust in the politicians who were sent running from their chamber? many are unconvinced. the first 10, 11 days, no political leaders anywhere, nowhere. because they could not face the people. so that is where the vacuum

is. simon is a project manager who volunteered his services to the government. after getting no response, he helped out a small political party, one of several youth based organizations that has made a big impression, particularly in remote areas. they're providing help where it is needed most, these are people that need it. there's a void at local level and, it's political. that void is the result of a insurgency that dates back two decades and led to up heal very well. it was a peace deal by 2006, and ended the monarchy and gave birth to a second federal republic and unstable multi party system and, no local elections and still no agreement on a constitution. the present prime minister not prepare for the earthquake and

trying to make up for political lost ground and politicians from the media kampled out are skeptical about political change. you could have resources and moving them, is always the key, in disasters. and i'm giving some benefit of the doubt, to the public. whatever the political forces may be, there's one fact, enthusiasm of young people has helped relief efforts and those in feed remember the faces of those relief efforts more than the local politicians. it is five years since the end of the civil war and comment raisings taking place first time, and the town was able to mourn they're dead, and now, more from the north. for the first time since the end of the war, they have the

opportunity to grief they're dead and as you can see a couple of hundred people, here, and the scene of some of the worst fighting of the brutal conflict and people here, are lining up, near mounds of earth fashioned in the earth of gravestone. people feel free enough, there's enough space for them to come out here, and mourn they're dead, and the government has not permitted people to remember people who have been killed in the conflict. the previous government was that is that was gloriif a indication of the tigers, that waged war against the government. and now, with the january 8th election and new government, seem to be changing. organizers said there were certain challenges, and there are certain buses that were due to make their way and that did face some sort of threat, that

didn't turn up. however, in terms of the outlook, people feeling some kind of ability, a little little more space to express their grief, to express their pain and, even the organizers say the expressing of their grief the tears that have been shed here is a vital part of grieving, and closure for the thousands caught up in that civil war now for the government, they have marked a change from victory to remember prance day and today is very much part of that shift. the network london's disused metro system being offered for commercial use and ghost stations could be turned into restaurants or art galleries

and now underground. more than 20 meters below the surface, tunnels snake their way below london, the network is ever evolving. new roots leave will the past behind. down street closed more than 80 years ago too close to other stations and during the second world war these walls became the corridors of power. the prime minister, winston churchill used the station to meet his war cabinet and slept here safe. the sight was top secret and where decisions could be made and, messages sent. it would have been 25 or so and, they will be protected by soldiers and military escort down here to protect them. very busy place. you get a real sense of history, calling down, into

these empty tunnels. they would have been packed with people and even now, you can hear the trains, running along. parts of the site is still used by the transport network but some of it, are being put out to tender for commercial use. this is a unique space within london. it's a station that's not been used bypass sen jersey since 1932, and it's where churchill's war cabinet met and it's unique. history. decades after down streets parts of the history could be revised. the echoes of the past will never be far away. after the break fears and in the state of virginia, they're being encouraged to

share their insecurity's a courage wall. tokyo has been asked to scale down its ambitious goals for the olympics

there are psychologists who believe, that writing down your problems, may help to overcome, a project is, inviting people to do just that, it is called the courage wall. this is beautiful. it's nothing more than a

simple blackboard, transformed into what its creator hopes will be a starting point for those wishing to change their lives and unable to take that first step. it's called the courage wall, using chalk they finish the sentence, i wish i had the courage to -- with your own secret hopes and, dreams. nancy, created the wall after struggling to overcome her own fears of failure. i realize that, in my own life, my own courage was lacking and i think it resonates with everybody. fears that are holding us back. do better everyday, in what i'm doing and impacting positively on the lives of others. i wish i had the courage to be the best version of myself. i have learn that, be bold,

and if you take risks, you can make amazing things happen. she never imagined her little chalkboard would be such a big success most days it fills up within an hour, so to handle it, she created a online version, hashtag we live big. and then we have facebook, and instagram account of we live big. this is the first step. it's one way to take a first step. you don't need to write on this board, you can do it at home and, write on a scrap of paper and share it with your friends and you don't need a courage board, you have the courage, you just need to make that deck clarification. to erase past fears. different stories from all around the world. thank you very much.

well, the man who needed control, the champion league, has been appointed and it's turkish referee remember the final between barcelona and bringing together swarez, and two archrivals. he made a name for himself two years ago in a high profile match, and he angered united by standing off that, and the manager, and here is the blame the referee before his defeat and he has a good reputation with fifa, who gave him a world cup final. he's being thrown out of the competition. the club, football after its fans sprayed a cause particular substance, on players and they will have to play four matches

pakistan soil. the teams will play two 20/20s, and, all at the stadium and, it was only rescued after three days of talks over safety concerns. and the number 1 golfer, rory mcillroy believes he can improve his game. he won the wells fargo championship. he destroyed a high quality field, for his third victory of the year and he's heading to europe for the p g.a. championship on thursday, followed by his home tournament, the irish open, and he thinks he is yet to hit top form. last sum mr i felt in control of all aspects my game, and, i felt like i was probably playing a little bit better last

summer i guess and just, i felt like everything was on. i putted well, and everything was on, and i still feel there's a couple areas that i can sharp end up on, heading into the u.s. open. but it's very close. tokyo has been forced to cut back on its plans for 2020 olympic stadium, if the government runs short of money and time. it needs to be ready a year earlier, as it will host the final of the world cup. and, the sports minister announced the plan, has been scrapped, and, 30,000 of the 80,000 seats will be temporary and the government is asking them to pay 30% of the cost, and that's around 400 million dollars. in basketball's n.b.a., the the rockets will travel for their first game of the westerns
