♪ ♪ >> isil launches a series of devastating suicide attacks on the iraqi army using captureed american humvees and tanks. you're watching al jazeera. coming up on the show, bangladesh charges a factory owner with murder over the country's worst industrial disaster. a controversial law that allows the u.s. government to collect phone information

expires while u.k. looks to extend its powers. and troops line up close to the ukrainian border. >> let's start with iraq where 45 soldiers have been killed in a suits bombing it's a military base southwest of tikrit. it follows another suicide attack authorities of fallujah that left 42 policemen dead. elsewhere in alan bar province at least 33 iraqi government fighters were killed in an ambush by isil east of ramadi on sunday. 40 others were wounded in that attack. iraq's air force struck back against isil in anbar and other provinces. it comes as iraq's prime minister hyder allah hyderal al abadi said that they ran

over mosul this year. now they have asked to supply them with more arms. we go live in baghdad. so as if it wasn't enough, now we've also got things unraveling from the north of baghdad too. >> that's absolutely right. what we've seen here is a brazen and very surprising attack using a suicide tank. now we haven't heard of tanks being used in this kind of way before. now hyder al abadi was talking about humvees that isil had stolen. they also stole things like tanks as well. but we haven't seen those used as suicide bombs. this is the air base near samara. it is crucial because it is home near a shrine and has always been seen as a red line for iran. they said if they are attack there had they will send in

ground troops. now what happened with this tank it drove up to the air gates of the air base, and blue itself up. and certainly a bigger attack than we've seen in the last three or four weeks. and certainly in the last few days. we've been hearing about these humvee car bombs reinforceed personnel carrier car bombs. >> now what is the government saying about this video which pressure ports to show shia militia atrocities going on. that is not exactly helping sunnies who have a vested interest in iraq at this point. >> well, there has been no official reaction regarding the video and there is unlikely to be any official reaction. but we've been speaking to mps and leaders. if this did happen, they don't believe it did if it did happen then it was an individual act

and those responsible for the act, and the video shows a man being burned alive those people will be punished. however, sunnies say this is just the tip of the iceberg. through their contacts they're hearing there are atrocities being committed. revenge attacks where they come in and clear areas and despite coming under the banner are still operating independently. the sunnies are warning that the situation here in iraq could deteriorate to the levels of almost a civil war we saw between 2006, 7 and 8 in iraq. >> the man brought in to save malaysian airlines said that it's technically bankrupt and will be completely restructured. the airline has been suffering for years in decline and the experiences of the last year the ceo is expected to cut 6,000

jobs. he earned the nickname "the terminator" for previously cutting jobs from two other carriers. >> it will be the start. it will be new legal entity. new shareholder new strategy in large parts new management. everything will be new. >> the u.s. law that allows security services to spy on american citizens has expired. the senate nailed to pass legislation expending powers to monitor millions of phones and e-mails. it comes after edward snowdon exposeed the agency. it has had far-reaching implications for the u.s. and governments world side. live from washington, d.c. kimberly halkett is here and we have jonah hull in london to talk about all this. let's start with kimberly.

the silver liberty groups have been celebrating the fact that the law has not extended. will they be celebrate forgive long? >> well, celebration may an strong word. there are many who are happy that the patriot act that has been in place for so long has expired. but there is little reason in the mind of many who are look looking to protect civil liberties that there should be reason for celebration. there is legislation that has been passed in the lower house of representatives that have been debated that would do the very same thing that the patriotic ask "z." that is monitor and sweep up phone records. the only thing that could replace the patriot okay act is that instead of the government holding on to the records it would be held by private telephone companies and the government could access this

information. it would just be slightly more difficult. they could go to court to obtain information. many are concerned that this is a minor shift of legislation and there is a caustic debate taking place on capitol hill. many are concerned and say that the united states was founded with a constitution that protects individuals liberties. that is the primary focus of the united states. there is a lot of concern that this new legislation could be passed. little reason for celebration for those who are protecting those liberties. >> thank you kimberly halkett let's go to join in a hull live in london. debating what to do next in the u.k. they're showing just how alive and kick government spying is there. >> yes it certainly has just as a the united states is

winding back even if it is a minor shift as kimberly suggests suggests. in britain they're alive and well and there are plans to expend them as part of the government's five-year legislative program having won re-election this month. the government said that it needs to reach a gap particularly around new technologies. that's the sort of things that you send and receive with the smart phone department. just phone calls and e-mails. this has privacy campaign groups up in arms. one of them, as you said, big brother watch releasing these figures in a report in london, figures it obtained from the government as part of freedom of information indicating that every two minutes in this country police forces make--every minute, rather, make two requests for private communications data, and that those requests are granted by the government 93% of the time. 730,000 requests made since since 2012. the government plans to

strengthen further those powers and allow greater surveillance of calls messages, tickets and e-mails, and critics will say they're aghast. >> that sort of level for government spying, is there any backlash? is it provoking any sort of backlash as the government looks to expand its powers even further. >> i think they'll have battles ahead on this issue. the main parties even the conservative party won significant m.p. they said police powers in this area are quite out of control. critics say that there needs to be more case by case that is required. why it's going to be useful. how long it's going to be kept, and that sort of thing. they're searching for permission of a judge and not the

government. there's a business battle ahead and the backlash just beginning to surface. >> thank you so much, jonah hull hull. al jazeera has found signs of a russian troop build up in maneuvers in eastern ukraine. they've been seen close to the ukrainian border. the russian military has long denied that it has been helping separatist fighters near ukraine. charles stratford reports. >> equipment on a train close to the you trainan border. al jazeera has no way of verifying with these vehicles are being moved to or from. it includes armor personnel carriers and tanks. the plates have been removed or seemingly painted over. we drove out of town to an area where we heard there is a makeshift military camp. across the field we heard there are piles of dust in an area that looked like a farm.

large vehicle were moving in convoy. around 10 kilometers behind she the border of ukraine. it says it is conducting military exercises and denies it has crossed the border. the government described a question whether it was preparing for an attack as completely inappropriate. the army has recently been conducting exercises around 1,000 kilometers from here. nato has been on ducting it's own exercises at the same time of norway, sweden finland. russia has included military personnel on what it describes as special operations operations in peacetime as a state secret. disclosing details of a soldiers being killed could now put you

hyped bars. in are a recently released to report it said it is proof that the russian military is operating in eastern ukraine. one of the authors of that report boris nentsov was shot dead before it was published. a close associate to nentsov is in hospital fighting for his life. it's believed he was poisoned. there are reported violations being committed by both sides. russia said it has the right to conduct military maneuvers wherever it wants in its territory despite the sensitivity of the time and place. al jazeera. near the russian-ukrainian border. >> coming up, a draft for a new global climb deal is, we have reporters on the front line of climate change.

>> this is the kind of experiments. years of isolation the collapse of the soviet union has a dwindling supply of fossil fuels, and it has ready dickcally altered practices. >> we're also in bangladesh for a social look where a rising sea levels are threatening lives and livelihoods.

>> welcome back. let's recap the headlines al jazeera now. in iraq 45 soldiers have been killed. it follows another suicide attack near fallujah, which left 4 policemen dead. u.s. laws which allow security services to spy on american citizens have expired. the senate failed to pass legislation extending powers to monitor phones and e-mails. returning to our top story the battle in iraq. the deputy assistant to president obama he said that the united states will continue to equip iraqi forces. >> we've actually already sent a considerable amount of equipment

both to the iraqi security forces and kurdish peshmerga forces up in the north of iraq. all that have going through the iraqi government in baghdad and we'll continue to do so. we have previn yengich monitoring on all of--but in these dire times times, as prime minister al abadi has asked us we're doing everything we can. just one small example we're about to deliver more than 1,000 anti-tank rockets. so we will continue to ex-at the died equipment to iraqi security forces and continue to expect them to be custodians in that equipment. >> bangladeshi police have charged the owner of the factory complex with murder after it

collapsed and killed in 2014. stephanie dekker looks back at the tragedy. >> those who work here earn close to nothing. they make clothes for some of the world's biggest brands. 1,100 and 37 people died when the factory collapsed. it was bangladesh's worst industrial disaster ever. they open the eyes of the world to the appalling safety standards. the owner of the actor was arrested soon after and he'll be charged with 41 others. if convicted they could be sentenced to death. whatever the verdict it will offer little consolation to those who lost their loved once

in a disaster completely avoidable. stephanie decker, al jazeera. >> israel said that that a spokesperson using a smuggleed mobile phones. the trial of to al jazeera journalists in egypt has been adjourned until thursday. prosecutors failed to produce any new evidence against mohamed fahmy, baher mohammed. we sat down with peter greste in australia to talk about the place. >> it's been four months since peter greste was released from an egyptian jail and deported but his ordeal is not over. technically he's still on trial. >> we're thought that once released i would be take off the case, and that would be the end of it, but at the first hearing of course, the judge named me as an defendant who was there at the last hearing where the judge

said i had to appear or risk declare being absentia. if egyptian rules being declared in absentia is equal to being found guilty. we don't know if the court will accept video it would involve breaking new ground for the court. but to get to the truth of the matter i see this as a solution. and demonstrate to the court that i'm not on the ruin. i'm not a fugitive. >> what would conviction mean for you? >> the main concern is the--on a personal level it would mean that i can't go to any country that has an extradition treaty with egypt.

but it's also a problem with a bigger issue. remember, we were supported by millions of people. they supported us partly because of our personal circumstances but also because what we came to represent, that is freedom of speech issues. if we--if we do get a conviction even if it's on the simple technicality it would be for everything that they blamed for. >> al jazeera has some questions to answer, and we need to look at mistakes made on the way. it is egypt that arrested us. it is the egyptian authorities who accused--made these allegations against us. that's what we need to fight the case. >> what is your focus professionally and personally? >> everything in my life hinges on the outcome of this trial. it's all about keeping the attention, keeping the right

impression and doing the right kind of work to make sure that the court understands that there is no evidence against us and the only conclusion it can come to if it's following due process is to equit all of us, everyone involved in the case. >> a meeting is taking place in german and they're looking to lay down the foundations for a lobe deal to be signed in paris at the end of the year. huge obstacle courses. our environment editor nick clark begins our coverage from cuba. >> yes, this is havana, a long way from negotiating hauls halls where they're trying to hone down that draft all 86 pages of it in time for december. havana is effected by climate change. it's estimateed that 3% of cuba

will be swallowed up by 2050. that's 5,000 kilometers of coast, not to say havana itself. but yet cuba is a living experiment on the effects of climb change. years of isolation the collapse of soviet union and dwindling supplies of fossil fuels they had to radically change their energy practices. 50 years have koch and gone since the revolution, and much has changed. back in the day when sugar was gold, they would set an example for workers in this industry. today the sugar ships bound for the soviet union are long gone and with them a chemical laced system of agriculture. on the outskirts an urban farm, organic and supplying for the local community.

fertilizers, worms and processing plant food. pesticides are barrier crops. >> it's not that they're enlightened about the environment. it's just that farmers were forced to become more sustainable because of the lack of isolation and lack of resources. the serving of the supply line meant the agriculture had to be replaced by small multi crop farms and cube became expert organic growers. it's a lesson for the world to learn sustainable methods of food production. it's a myth that organic farming can't feed the world. it's only 70 years ago that there were no chemicals and 70 years means nothing. they need to pay farmers better to nuclear people to come out of the cities and back into the countryside. >> sustainable approach has

blossomed into a bio steer reserve. here cubans come to enjoy the weekend and tourists can feast on locally organic food. but there is a threat looming. on a small family farm it's tough to produce crops and earn a living. >> there would be things that would be productive if we lose chemicals. >> the fear now is as diplomatic relations are changing as fast as the weather, a new and open cuba will be a new supply of pesticides and fertilizers and farmers may be tempted to turn to the old ways threatening cuba's long-time organic evolution. >> as long as he's in the water he's just like the others. for the blind fisherman it's a welcome relief from his troubles

online. the island is not friendly towards people with disabilities and his island home is disappearing fast. he has had to move five times because his homes have been eroded by strong river currents. >> it's humiliating. every time our home gets destroyed by the river you're left with nothing. if you need anything at all you need to ask people for help. people are kind to me, but i don't want to depend on people because i'm blind and now for housing, bedding utensils, everything. it's just too much. >> on the front line of climate change the islanders take shelter in a mosque. many others say they lost their homes to the waves. half of the land has been eroded away in the past 20 years. but people like nuru and his mother can't afford to move

further inland. they end up living on the edge. >> it takes three to four months to find a new place to say teach time it takes our house away. we stay here for a month and there for a month. we have to do anything and everything to get buy bi. >> after a campaign by residents, the government set up erosion barriers two years ago to keep them safe, but not all sections of the barrier are equally strong. here at this house this right here is the erosion barrier. there are no cement blocks, and you can see that without that protection some of these sand dikes have already fallen apart. >> as the rainy season appears they are not only worried about flooding they're concerned that a high tide can sweep away what little security they have. al jazeera bangladesh. >> rising seas bring sharp focus for an agreement in paris in

december. although there are conflicting views about where they are about goffs being where they are at in those negotiations, they say they're far behind, others say they're doing well and governments are on tract. the fact is all nations have to submit their ideas for post post 2020. people here in cuba, they may well ask what is take something long. >> solar plane attempting to fly around the world is making an unscheduled stop because of bad weather. the pilot was across the pacific when the situation was made to planned japan. he took off from china sunday on what was supposed to be the longest leg of the journey, a six-day, 8,175 kilometer flight to weigh. well despite the bad weather

its crew remains optimistic. >> you can stay in the plane day and night with no fuel at all. it's a triumph of technology and clean technologies and renewable energies. in that sense we're happy when we can fly in that plane and fly day and night. that's the dream i've had since 16 years since i completed the flight around the world. to do this flight again with no fuel so of course we're a little disappointed because the weather became worse on the pacific. in a few days it will be in the air again and we'll continue the mission. >> brazil january football legend pele is in havana to kick off sporting relations between the u.s. and cuba.

pele's former team new york cosmos will play a friendly game on tuesday. speaking to journalists he said it could create peace and happiness for people. we'll get more on that on www.aljazeera.com. zeera.com. you have. >> a key part of the patriot act expires after a meeting ends without a final vote. >> this is your right to be left alone. >> kentucky senator rand paul leads the charge, but some say it's all about politics. we're moments away
