>> part of our month long look at working in america. "hard earned". >> welcome to the news hour, here's what's coming up over of the next 60 minutes. >> iraq's army launches a military operation to retake the western anbar province from isil. a month after attacking a university in northeast kenya al shabab gunmen return to target police forces. >> malaysian police teams exhume bodies from a mass grave near

the thai border. >> jason has been in prison in tehran for nothing more than writing about the hopes and the fears of the people. >> president obama speaks up for washington post reporter, but iran puts him on trial for spying. >> iraq launched a military operation to retake anbar from isil. shia and sunni are involved. some fear sectarian tensions could be raised. it is a largely sunni province in iraq's west. isil took control of ramadi, the province last week, sending iraqi troops running. ramadi lyles 115 kilometers from the capitol baghdad. >> iraqi security forces gather

on the edge of ramadi preparing to retake the city. it's likely to be a long operation. there are reports of isil fighters preparing to meet government security forces. they'll be backed by militia and the coalition. the iraqi army is gearing up. with the fall of ramadi and isil in control from syria to anbar. it's feared isil could push into baghdad. to prevent that happening this man is securing the outskirts of the capitol. the town, just under 30 kilometers from baghdad is being fortified. >> we're fighting a psychological war. isil have an effective media campaign against us. we're accused of reef treating. we are not. we are now backing up our troops here and preparing for the fall

of ramadi. >> the forces here are mainly shia militia. since the prime minister abadi brought them under the command of the iraqi government, they fly a new through. all fight under this banner, including this sunni fighter group. >> fort filing baghdad comes with unique challenges. this is the last safe place to cross anbar into baghdad. with the operation now underway, it's likely we'll see more scenes like this, fears of what comes next are common here. >> as long as we sunnis are marginalized the fight will take a long time. i would join the fight if the government accepts us. >> iraq security forces have opened and closed this bridge as random concerned that isil fighters will enter as displaced people increasing the tension be in the capitol and elsewhere. >> there's no doubt rack has a huge challenge on its hands in securing anbar province and

defeating isil. it's also securing baghdad, as well. many people say that if baghdad falls, then isil won. there are other significant challenges including finding homes for these people who are fleeing the violence and making sure that they get back home eventually. al jazeera on the outskirts of anbar province. >> a retired iraqi army brigadier general joins us now. i want to ask about the reports that iraq's shia paramilitaries have taken charge of the campaign to drive isil from anbar and giving the operation kind of openly sectarian code name. isn't that likely to infuriate the sunni population there and stir up what are already sensitive sectarian issues? >> well, thank you for having me.

i think this does not confirm that the shia militia or popular mobilization units are taking charge. one main principle of the war is to follow the unity of command. it's very important this is fact that iraqi security forces should have taken in their concentration specifically the command. the command and control structure is very important in order to achieve the successful required in anbar. >> there are a number of different groups involved in this operation. there are the shia militias. there are sunni armed groups involved. there is the iraqi army in conjunction with american ire strikes. how important is it that all of this needs to be coordinated to

accomplish the recapturing of the territory. >> as i told you earlier that modern control structure is crucial to achieve success required in the operation. why we need command and control many, many sources. that's what you have just mentioned, are resources for the operation. these resources have to be managed by one commander in control headquarter and also to designate the responsibilities for each and every unit or formation that will be fighting in the operation. this is very crucial that air support, the iraqi security forces is taking part, as well as the popular mobilization forces that will be integrated with the local fighters. this is so crucial that to make

guarantees that would be no violations there would be no sectarian acts taking place after achieving victory in anbar. >> good to speak with you. joining us there from washington thanks for your time. >> thanks very much. >> now to kenya and the countries interior ministry says a policeman has been killed and four others injured by suspected al shabab fighters. the somali group claimed to have killed 25 kenyan police officers in the east where they were ambushed by fighters near garissa. we are joined from nairobi by the spokesman for the interior ministry. thank you for being with us. i hope you can clear this of some up. what exactly happened here? there are unconfirmed reports about this attack and home were killed.

what do you know? >> hello can you hear me sir? looks like we don't have our connection there. we will try to get him back. we have on on. >> journalist joining me now. let's start with the attack and the government reaction. how are they dealing with it now? >> the picture emerging from kenya is confusion different departments trying to explain what happened earlier today and local officials said 10220 security forces were killed.

then came the twitter from the presidency, which sent out a message of condolences to the families of what they claimed were the soldiers killed. shortly after that, the interior minister said no, we haven't lost any soldier only one was injured. then all of this is happening even before al shabab told their side of the story. as we can see from the messages that have been coming up, it is fair to say that maybe more needs to be done in kenya in terms of. >>s like this, which keeps on happening. >> all right stay with us. we are going to come back to you. i understand we now have the interior ministry spokesman from kenya joining us. hopefully he can hear me this time. thank you for joining us. i'm hoping you can clear some of this up for us, there does seem to be conflicting information about what happened here. tell us what you know.

>> ok, what happened yesterday evening, there was some police officers were on patrol with that the garissa area and they were ambushed by suspected al shabab militia. there was an exchange of fire and in the process others came in to rescue them, ambushed by the same group but ultimately what happened is that by the time the whole thing was over, two officers were injured and three were slightly injured. 1--passed away. >> just one. al shabab saying they killed 25 kenyan police officers, and you're saying that's inaccurate. >> that is problem began da. we are accounting for all involved in that operation and only one who has been dead.

>> as you know, garissa is an area that's been neglected for sometime in the northern part of kenya, and there was that attack on the university there just last month. given that there has been -- that they have targeted this town again a lot of people will be wondering whether you should have expected this and whether security should have been stepped up by the kenyan authorities. >> it's stepped up, almost on a daily basis, there is a kind of war we are dealing with. it's not a war that you're dealing with, even one or two. you can't have the relief have the country. what has happened in garissa is a matter of improving security

in the area and there are quite a number of attempts that have been prevented. the situation is not out of control. >> given what's happened here. what if anything is the government doing to perhaps further step up security in this area? >> one is a project to step up improvement of the border control, because right now we've had the border that existed in name only. what we are doing is a project for a physical barrier and the other deterrent. within the border area, we have border patrol unit. there's a border patrol police who are already patrolling that section, but there are a number of other sections that they are

patrolling. we are walking on there establishing. >> we're going to have to leave it there. thank you very much for your time kenyan interior ministry spokesperson, thank you. >> taliban are attacking a police headquarters in southern having a. 13 policemen and seven soldiers have already been killed in the siege in helmand province. the district chief appealed for immediate help from the a. began government. we have more. >> afghan officials tell us fighting is going on in three areas in helmand province. the standoff has been particularly difficult going on for many hours the taliban taking at least three army check points and surrounding the district headquarters, at least 20 army and police have been killed so far in that attack. local officials have called for reinforcements and the interior

ministry saying they sent them. it's hard to get updates because the phone system appears to be down in that area. that's just the latest in a series of attacks. there's a siege in kandahar with two gunman on a roof, surrounded by afghan forces. they have killed one woman so far. we saw four suicide gunman attack the local courts. they have been killed, along with two policemen killed in that attack. in northern having a the fight in kundu continues. we've seen in some areas local people taking up arms and fighting against the taliban because the afghan forces just aren't in place. the forces in this spring fighting season, just about a month old now are under tremendous pressure from the taliban in 11 provinces across

afghanistan in the last 24 hours, particularly large number of attacks across the country. >> much more to come, questions about safety asked in china after a fire at a home for the elderly kills dozens of people. >> trying to beat the student loan system in the u.s. >> in sport taking a tumble. did the loss of seth curry damage the playoff hopes of the golden state warriors? details coming up. >> all that still ahead. malaysian police are continuing the grim task of exhuming the bodies of dozens of suspected trafficking systems from graves in the jungle. 139 graves were discovered in the northern malaysian state that borders thailand. the government is investigating whether local officials were involved with the people smuggling gangs.

malaysia called for international help to solve the migrants crisis. >> florence has been to one jungle camp in the state. >> malaysian police have begun exhuming remains found in graves discovered over the weekend in north malaysia in an area close to the thai border. police today took us to an area, a burial tight which they say has about 37 suspected graves and the forensic team was digging up one body. it was wrapped in a clot or a shroud indicating that the person could have been buried in accordance with muslim rights. now, having seen those camps and those burial sites, it really brings -- you really are able to picture the conditions these migrants and refugees were held in. by now, we know how they operate, bringing people in trafficking them through the

border with northern malaysia and they are held in camps until family and family members pay a there were plates, crockery thrown into an open pit pieces of cloth hanging that could have been used as curtains. a water tank indicated that people knew they were going to be in these camps for sometime. there were also cases of barbed wire on the ground nailed to trees, indicating that human trafficking syndicates intended to keep their human cargo there. seeing those camps brings to life the conditions of the migrants and refugees and how they were held. they bring people in from bangladesh myanmar saying we'll get you jobs in malaysia, then trafficked into southern die land through malaysia and held in camps where family members and friends are made to pay a ransom before they can be released. >> for decades ethnic rohingya

have been percent cute in myanmar. we report from new zealand where some who escaped years ago have found better lives. >> these rohingya men and their families have come a long way and been through a lot. he and his brother escaped myanmar 20 years ago and after working in thailand and malaysia were granted residency in new zealand. the people they left behind are never far from their thoughts. >> it's like they are living in the open space prison. they have no rights to go out. they have no rights to study. >> if they had stayed in myanmar in their hometown, this is where they would likely be, with four of their brothers and sisters in camps. since 2012, more than 100,000 people mainly row ming i can't muslims have been forced from their houses because of attacks led by buddhists and can't go home. there's been tension for decades. the issue is in the headlines in recent weeks because of the new

wave of refugees escaping in boats. earlier this month researchers from the u.s. memorial holocaust museum found early warning sign was genocide in myanmar. >> we are talking about the u.n. convention on genocide, and what that talks about specifically is group targeted violence and targets a population based on their religious ethnic or national cork san francisco. >> others agree and believe there appears to be enough evidence to take legal action against the government and individuals. >> there needs to be urgent political action and direct ramifications to myanmar in terms of the change, so i'm not just talking about dealing with the people who are fleeing now but in terms of a long-term strategy. >> there is no doubt in the minds of this man his friends and family that those still in

myanmar are in a lot of danger. >> this is a big test for the international community not just for myanmars neighbors in southeast asia who have been reluctant to criticize each other, but for western nations who have rushed to engage with the government of myanmar after it returned to partial democracy five years ago. the plight of the rohingya shows just however it has to go. >> the first hearing ended in the trial of a washington post journalist in iran. the first day of jason's trial was held behind closed doors in the absence of his family. he is charged with spying, collaborating with hostile governments and spreading propaganda. the united states has appealed for the release but iran says the law must take its course. let's talk to douglas live in washington for us. he is the fortune he had door of the washington post. jason used to work under him.

talk to us first of all about -- we read the list of charges there from the iranian authorities. is it clear just what exactly it is he's been accused of doing and how is it different from the normal job of a journalist? >> unfortunately there's nothing at all that's clear in this case. from the moment jason was detained mine months ago we've heard nothing from the iranian authorities. the nature of these charges have not been made public. what we heard is ludicrous the idea that jason doing anything more than does he as a journalist. we're confident that he did nothing wrong, would be acquitted in a fair court and we very much hope that that's what will emerge from this proceedings now. >> what should we read into the timing of this? as you know, this is coming with iran and the u.s. and other world powers working towards a final deal on iran's nuclear

program. do you think there's a connection there the possibility has been put out there that he is used as a bargaining chip. >> it's impossible to get into the heads of those holding him now. iran said it ha to do with jason's conduct. i can only believe that the timing suggests a connection, that there's a close tie in what the iranians are doing to their belief that this would improve their position at the bargaining table. >> have you or anyone else there had any sort of contact or communication with him directly or indirectly about how he has been treated during his time in iranian custody? >> we've had no direct contact whatsoever over these nine months. it really is as if jason's been in a dark, dark hole. the only communication has been

through his wife, who's been permitted to visit him occasionally. miss mother, mary was able to visit him three times. his lawyer was able to meet with him only once, just one time before this trial began. we think it's been difficult for jason, it's been difficult physically mentally, this has taken a big toll. that's among the reasons we are eager to see this process completed and to see him released as he deserves. >> we appreciate you taking the time to talk to us about this, and our thoughts and hopes with him and his family for his eventual release. thanks very much for your time. >> thank you. >> now government leaders in burundi won't bow to international criticism but the president's controversial bid for a third term. protestors are met by riot

police with guns. we have this report from the capitol. >> they know this won't protect them from bullets and tear gas but protestors say there is little they can do, so they keep going, and then in a matter have seconds, they are dispersed. they haven't gone far. they are waiting for the police to move on. >> the police are shooting at us arresting people. they are just shooting and shooting. >> they say no to the president running for a third term. >> i don't want him at all. we say no to him. >> the police seem to know what the prosecutor testers are planning. they say they want to march into

the city center, bub the police are stopping them. >> it's been a month of back and forth. it seems the protests are spreading beyond the capitol. monday, one person was shot and killed during a protest south of burundi. the president won't give up plans to run for a 30 term, which is against be the constitution. al jazeera burundi. >> an extreme heatwave has killed more than 500 people across india. most died in the southern states, weather forecasters saying the heatwave could continue for another two weeks. >> in mexico, 13 were killed after a powerful tornado ripped through a border city. dozens of homes and cars have been destroyed on the border with the u.s. state of texas. >> in texas, four have been killed in flash floods. tens of thousands of homes have been left without power. the state governor compared it to a tsunami wiping some homes completely off the map.

>> the latest world weather now with robin. much more on that severe weather. >> yes which apparently is never-ending. certainly in texas there are an awful lot of things feeding into this. you've got the gulf of mexico, which is warm, the winds are coming together, help to go lift clouds into the sky. they've got various frontal systems coming together. just here, you'd think what on either happened there. this is a cloud building, drifting eastward. it blossomed over the accident. you never saw a tornado coming out of it. that was briefly and violently the case. you have this massive rain that came affidavitward. you've there are 80,000 without power. evacuations have been ordered in different parts have parts of texas. i'd like to say things are going to improve.

although there's been 700 millimeters are rain fouling in oklahoma city, wichita falls has had 355 millimeters these are record may rainfalls. the state was involved in a drought beforehand. only 3% of the accident is still called drought ridden. that is where you're likely to generate sudden thunderstorms but the big feed of moisture is still coming up from the south. i think in the next day or so, most of the heaviest rain is going to be east of the accident through louisiana alabama or mississippi. therefore, there could be a day off. however, that's just the next day or so. it's possible after that, we'll get showers building again random ones in the west of the accident and the mexican border. >> now still to come on the program, an agreement is reached in nigeria to end fuel

shortages. just how long before things go back to normal? >> this serbian far right leader accused of atrocities was allowed to return home. international prosecutors want him back. >> in sport after sacking their coach, who will be the next person to silt in the real madrid hot seat? we'll have details in about 20 minutes.

>> mothers and children by the hundreds boarding boats to get as far away from the fighting in burundi as they can. they are among the estimated 50,000 who have traveled to tanzania in the past month. many are children, who have lost their parents like this 16-year-old. after they landed in tanzania, she and her siblings were taken to the stadium for shelter. >> the security situation in our country is getting worse every day. we had no parents or anyone to protect us. people were being killed or beaten up. that's the reason we decided to leave. >> 1,200 unaccompanied children have been registered in this camp alone. >> this is largely a crisis facing children. 83% of the population on the move that had been registered in tanzania are children. >> cholera is a major problem in tanzania's refugee camp.

more than 30 people have already died in the past two weeks. aid groups are racing to provide sanitation, medical supplies and psychological care. >> unicef is deploying on the ground 37 social worker officers that have been trained in child protection, the identification documentation and the alternative care options for these children. >> burundi has had a at your lent pass of ethnic tension and mass killings. for many refugees, this isn't the first time they've been the victim of violence back home. her parents was killed by militias when she was just nine years old. she and more refugees want to do what they can to make a new life here, because they have little reason to return home.

>> an agreement has been reached in nigeria to end fuel shortages. the shortages have forced motorists to form long queue at petrol stations. many brought fuel in cans on the black market. businesses banks and hospitals and airlines scaled back operations because they rely on diesel generators. the government promised that pay oil importers money they say is owed to them. the deal was reached days before nigeria's new president is to be sworn in. joining us now is a development economist. thank you for being with us, sir. just remind us then of how things got to this point in nigeria and could it all have been avoided? >> it could have been avoided if the government have ve solved

the problem of the refineries. politicians discovered the easiest way to make money along with the corporate nigeria that is those who are involved in the downstream sector. what has been going on is that instead of repairing the refineries oil refineries, governments are choosing to give subsidy to those who import petroleum products. now, billions of dollars, we are talking about down to $5 billion have been wasted in the past six years. that's money that would have been spent on infrastructure and the social services. they did so so that they shared

the money the politicians get part of the money. those in the downstream who have imported petroleum products have to get -- that's how bad it is. the countries massive and nobody has done anything. what they are doing is just to, you know, talk about the issue and when people are -- >> the corruption -- why hasn't anything been done about the corruption? it's nothing new, is it? >> no. why nothing has been done is the beneficiaries, those who are supposed to do something why should you do something to stop -- but because there was no political will on the part of the government, that's why it continues. in 2012, there was a protest

government wanted to remove subsidy. there was a protest against the subsidy. i asked that the subsidy should be removed but what i discovered along the line, government permits to actually repair the refineries, after two years, they were not repaired. what is the good news now is that with the government that is corruption free, we might see a shift in policy where the government gets out of oil subsidy and allow investors to invest in the downstream. >> just finish your point briefly and we'll have to leave it there.

>> so what i'm saying in a sense is a a new decision coming onboard in the next two or three days. we hope when the new position comes, it will do away with the subsidy, so that the nigerians who pay the offshore price of their petroleum process, as soon as nigerians start paying the actual price, we see investment in down steam sector. the competition the price will be driven down and nigerians pay the actual value for their petroleum products. >> hopefully things will change for the better. we appreciate you talking to us on this. joining us there, thank you. >> european leaders are meeting in brussels because of the humanitarian crisis in central african republic. 1 million people have been

displaced by sectarian fighting. aid agencies don't have enough money to provide food and medical aid. >> it may no longer be in the headlines, but it is volatile. french and african troops oversee a fragile peace after two years of fighting between rival militia. nearly half a million people are homeless within their own country. christians forced out by muslims and muslims forced out by christians. the muslim minority in particular is paying the price of the intercommunal violence. another half million people have fled over the border to chad, cameroon and the democratic republic of congo. here they're living in refugee camps, entirely dependent on international aid. this is the lean season and food stocks are dangerously low. mother and children are mostly at risk for starvation.

infant mortality has reached crisis levels and it's still several months until the next harvest. >> the security situation will deteriorate. when we see the necessities missing, we see conflicts among young people and we see further displacement people move from where they are to where they will get these basic necessary cities. that movement in an intense situation will lead to increased conflict. >> armed groups have begun releasing children they reach crueltied to fight with them. the risk of renewed fighting is never far away. the central african republic has few northerly resources so not high on the international agenda. without coordinated action now this may rumble on, claiming more innocent lives. jacky rowland, al jazeera. >> 12 people have been arrested conclusion with a fire at a home

charges. >> in the last 12 years the hague tribunal failed to prove any kind of link between me and any atrocities. >> he surrendered to court custody voluntarily in 2003, but his trial only got underway four years later. since then, it's been hit by obstacles and delays. the verdict is due sometime this year and serbia guaranteed that he will be sent back to the netherlands for that. in march judges ordered him to return saying he breached the return of his compassionate release. in recent months, he has defiantly appeared at anti western rallies and campaigned for closer ties with russia. his influence remains strong and then any moves to extradite him could prove to be divisive. >> breaking news on syria getting righties that the syrian military killed more than 140 islamic state members.
