collapsing more than two years ago. technically bankrupt, malaysia airlines. we're starting the program in iraq, government forces there have suffered major losses as they try to drive i.s.i.l the islamic state of iraq and the levant out of anbar province. in the latest series of attacks an i.s.i.l. boarm bomber first of all killed 45 people there. this was a base supposed to be a secure position for the army. so that it could use it for offensive it launched in anbar last week. 42 policemen died, a suicide attack here north of fallujah. and on sunday, 33 iraqi government fighters died in an ambush east of the provincial

capital, ramadi. few days in iraqi security forces appear to be struggling. here is imran khan on the tank attack in tikrit. >> one of the most brazen, that i.s.i.l. has waged. shia militia troops as well as iraqi security forces. i.s.i.l. has alleged to have driven a tank laiden with explosives all the way to the gate of the base. we are expecting the casualty figures to rise. we have seen throughout the days i.s.i.l. using humvees as car bombs. they are plenty of them, prime minister, abd rabbu mansour hadi hadi says they used them, but

not usually as suicide vehicles. this is going to be a very controversial tactic. their own weaponry being used against them and indeed american weaponry that they bought from the americans used against them. it is the first time in a very long time that we've seen a tank being used as a delivery vehicle for explosives. >> i.s.i.l. also making gains in syria, aleppo and hasaka provinces. the united states national security agency has lost its power to collect phone records in bulk from american citizens, as the senate failed to extend the patriot act. the republican presidential hopeful rand paul led the attack but now what's known as

the freedom act more targeted kind of data collection. which critics argue doesn't go far enough to prevent government snooping. more discussions on the freedom act getting underway, let's get the latest from kimberly halkett. tell us why the patriot act was not renewed and what it means to the average american citizen. >> well, it wasn't renewed because there was will on capitol hill to see it sunset, to use the terminology did you du jour. the technology that was exposed by edward snowden is for the moment no longer taking place. it expired at midnight last night. but there is legislation in the works to bring that program back albeit with some minor

modifications, namely that this collection not be done by the government instead be done by private companies. the government would no longer have ready access to this bulk data. instead it would now require a court order to go to these private companies and get this. but this is only going if the u.s.a. freedom act that's being debated now in the senate passes into law. all indications are that that will happen and then president obama will make it the law of the united states. for the moment though, there is nothing in place so the program is not currently happening. >> in abeyance if we can put it that way there will be sphaings programssurveillance programs coming forward, the republicans in favor of, in quotes, snooping, rand paul said not this way. is he trying to bring forth his

liberal leanings? >> sure, the fact that rand paul has been long interested in that weighs into the strategy. at the same time you'll have to remember he's a different kind of republican we've seen traditionally on capitol hill. more libertarian a wing of the republican party that is very interested in protecting the rights and freedoms that are enshrined in the u.s. constitution. he has held these fundamental rights dear. he's fighting for that, and while this may be part of a wider political strategy it is something that he has been fighting for for a very long time on capitol hill. late last night in fact was the

reason why patriot act or sections of it were allowed to expire. >> kimberly, thawmed. thank you very much indeed. are bangladesh factory 41 others face murder charges as stefanie dekker explains. >> reporter: those who worked here earned close to nothing. they made clothes for some of the world's biggest brands. 1137 people decide when the factory collapsed. the worst bangladeshi disaster ever. bringing light to the clothing industry here, the owner sahal rafa was arrest, will be charged with murder along with 41 others. the lead investigator here says

bigger as they are expanding at a much faster rate than major airlines. nearly 50 budget airlines, one of the most successful is airasia, competes directly with malaysia airlines on 75% of its routes offering better deals. >> it may not look like a startup but in fact we will be a startup, new shareholders, new strategy in large part new management everything will in fact be new. >> reporter: but winning back public confidence will likely be its biggest challenge. divya gopalan, al jazeera. >> stay with us, russian troop buildup in eastern ukraine and in beijing, who is make any attention?

adrian brown tells us if anybody's listening it's smoke and mirrors really. >> china has been a smoker's paradise. now beijing's government is trying to enforce its ban. children have been at the forefront of the campaign leading up to the ban since they're considered to be most at risk from passive smoking. antismoking campaigners say there are now clear signs the authorities appear serious this time. >> for the first time, the regulations very clearly spell out what happens if somebody doesn't adhere to the regulations. and it's not only that the smokers themselves will be fined. the owners of a building will be charged quite hefty charges if they don't help to make sure that their places stay smoke-free. >> it's not just bars and restaurants that must comply, local tourist sites including the great wall and forbidden

city are off limits to smokers. but in beijing the risk from passive smoking can be the least of your problems. some experts say breathing the air on a particularly polluted day can equate to smoking an entire pack of cigarettes. antismoking ban is something that doesn't go far enough. pointing out a packet of cigarettes in china costs on average just $1.50. the world health organization hopes that can change. >> the more expensive cigarettes are the lest people will smoke so for us the more expensive the better. >> reporter: but the industry is unlikely to be squeezed too hard. the taxes it pays accounts for 10% of all government revenues. china has more smokers than the population of the united states and on monday we found one of them openly violating the new law and the restaurant owner
