following this moment by moment. >> that's all of our time, the news continues next life from london. in the another set back for the army. more than 90 people are killed by an explosion in ghana. telling tails jack warner promised to reveal all about corruption within football's governing body. >> with all the days sport including the latest from the french open.

there's the first time finalist in the women's single but who will she be playing in saturday's big match? rye rack's government has suffered another significant set back. several sunni muslim tribes and their leaders have pledged alie jens to isil. some tribalshakes have criticized in the fight against isil in an bar. which is iraq's largest they celebrated the most significant victory there last month.

and also development and none of that has come, what is the catalyst for this? well, it is the shia led militia attack within anbar pro vince, a lot of the sunnies they see that as being sectarian, the language used is also very sectarian. it refers to the empire, by that they mean the iranians let's take a listen to what the tribal sheikhs liter had to say and how he is going to melt this next attack. question announce our allegiance and the commander of the fateful. sheikh. we tell him that we will adhere and follow his path, and stand by him to fight the enemy of religion. as you heard some pretty damming word there now the iraqi government face as challenge, it can win back the support if it reaches out to them, however many

people here are dubious that that will happen, they say they have had two years to be able to reach out and they simply haven't done it. >> it's a blow, because i think it goes to show how wrong we are getting the strategy in this fight. the sunni tribes are going to be the best ally, really, in defeating the group. but what we have seen over the past 12 to 18 months are the tribes in the likes of anbar not being supported. they have been asking where they haven't been getting. organizations such as isil and they have to cut deals because they are not getting the support. >> is it too late now now that they have supported us.

>> huge amounts of goodwill with these kind of -- the sunni tribes. for years be uh what they should do, and what they must do is begin to reintegrate them back into the system, give them jobs things like that. but first of all they have to be armed properly. >> and the reluctance from the state is presumably because they have worried about the potentially post isil era when these tribes would have weaponry that might be turned against them. >> right. when we have armed the sunni tries they turned the weapons against us, let's deal with the first problem which unbelievable.

is it going to be a game changer nor us? does it mean they will have the extra plus toll gain territory? >> i think it gives isis momentum. they are giving great end roads and it makes them appear the dominant force what we need to do is tush that around, is bringing -- these groups cut deals with the stronger power. at the moment they don't see that from iraq, or the west, but they see a dominant isis taking over that territory beheading people, burning people alive. pushing people off buildings and they are making deals. >> what about the role of other players in this what do you think their strategy out to be. >> the u.s. from that point of view, i think the strategy has to be relying on iranless. they are doing a lot of the fighting but they are doing

it in areas and they are going to defend areas that are important. so baghdad areas like that. what they are not going to do is go into sunni areas and they are not going to resettle some of the population that have been dispersed, so i think the u.s. needs to rely less on iran which is problematic in this conflict. >> hundreds of people from controlled towns are trying to get into turkey. turkey has let some people in through the village but the official border crossing remains closed. and eight people have been killed in government air

strikes while military helicopters dropped barrel bombs killing at least five people. an explosion caused by a fire has killed more than 90 people. in the capitol many people were taking shelter in the station, when rain and flooding president says it was a tragic incident. >> a lot of people have lost their lives. i am at a loss of words to express how i feel. many of them through the floods and then many of them through the fire incident. tremendous services for the diligence, throughout -- many of them have not gotten sleep, are monitoring what they think and then also to express my condolences. to the several who have lost relatives and the victims of the flat.

we will have to take some measures to avoid this happening in the future. >> spoke to us from the scene. >> there were many more standing around as well. the neighboring buildings are also efforted there are homes there. and there are businesses there, some people were able to escape. and other people were not so fortunate, now the reason this was so terrible is because it was raining there was heavy rains in this whole area. who we understand is that fuel was leaking from this area. a fire started somewhere nearby and the two met and the whole place went up in flames.

but because of the severity of the rains it was very difficult to the emergency services to get here. so people are looking at what is this country going to do to manage the annual flooding that happened and how we are going to prevent accidents like this in the future. >> with more than 1.5000 people. he atented large scale meetings. reports from seoul. >> in the midst of this outbreak so at the states involved given instructions when it is deemed he may have symptoms but this individual was told to remain in self-quarantine until the symptoms have been found. those symptoms were confirmed

earlier today patient number 35 so far concerned. the quarantine period this individual went to a meeting of his or her apartment building, that was considering pulling down the apartment building and rebuilding it. and we understand that 1,565 people were at that meeting. the air born transmission, so it doesn't mean that each one of those in high risk, but all of them are being introduced, they are being quarantined it may be that it isn't just them. they have to be quarantined as well, and it still gets worse because we understand that the symposium this week as well. the people involved have yet to be traced we don't know the full number of this.

for years it seems like a secret society with few people ever daring to speak out, but now fifa's former vice president jack warner who is under investigation himself for alleged corruption is vowed to reveal all and every day that passes the crisis at football's world governing body is deepening. >> he will hand over documents proving this and other allegations. >> these documents. the link between fifa. the link between fifa is

funding and congress. >> as president, this is sepp blatter, and. >> south africa has already opened an investigation into aalleged $10 million payment to secure the 2010 world cup now it has emerged that former fifa executive turned f. b.i. informant told how he took bribes connected with south africa 2010 and also the 1998 event in france. they identified fifa and it's attendance and organization, is what we call a rico interprice.

rico is an acronym and don't overact to racketeering influence corrupt organization. but the world football governing body that so many are calling for and sepp blatter may have promised to stet down. at least until the end of this year. the 2018 and 2022 world cups to be hosted by russia and qatar respectively. on thursday the sports minister became the latest figure to suggest 22 might be under threats. the case for rerunning is it very strong. >> it has never acted improperly. >> but with every day bringing new surprises the fifa story is sure to be long in the telling.

andy has the latest from miami on how the crisis is being viewed in the u.s. the u.s. public has been following this very closely it has been dominating on the radio and even satirical talk shows in fact, fifa's interest in the americans is faced in the building right behind my camera man and that was raided by f.b. i. agents on the same day those took place. the heart of all of this is how truly popular it is becoming. youth leagues for instance have decreased by 300% since the 70's and the viewing figures were around 30 million. so there is a vested interest in sport fans. and when you think about the demographics, you begin to realize that this is a

country that does care deeply. we will be following this investigation as it unfolds moment by moment and day by day. >> coming up in this news hour. the human faces of immigration crisis why these people risk their lives to come to europe. >> also ukraine's president warned the military to prepare for the possibility of a full scape russian invasion. >> 5 1/2 years ago suddenly being drapped into the five family members scandal. >> fighters loyal to the

president in exile have come under heavy fire. >> houthis rebels along with forces have been trying to push their way into this area but so far their advance has been repelled. fierce fighting is taking place between the resistence and the houthis will fight them until we die or achieve victory. >> the birthplace of the upriding. it is seen as a gate way to southern yemen and both sides are fighting hard to control it. >> there are clashes but we are here to respond to them. and we will defeat the houthis and forces. >> behind the front lines there are many other unarmed people who are suffered and the humanitarian situation is only worsening with the lack of fuel as well as essentials like food, and water. al jazeera.

is being accused of double dealing with al quaida and the united states. a former operative became an informant has spoken exclusively to al jazeera. even directed al quaida in the arabian peninsula but despite the u.s. being one of the long term sur porters. >> in the province killed eight spanish tourists. al quaida fighters claimed responsibility. but this man says there is much more to the story and it may involve the former president. >> >> he warned security agencies

one week bethe attack, and provided details on the dayist. just over a year later a daring assault on the u.s. embassy left 19 dead. again says he warned the security services. three months before a week before and three days before. the handler as an informant was his nephew. he says he did not just

ignore the attacks he went so far as to hand over money for the explosives used against the u.s. embassy. colonel amar then arranged for the materials to be given to the military commander. >> al jazeera has verified the background within al quaida. we have also established that he was a bomb maker. that's how he gains detailed knowledge about the attacks. he lost his right thumb we have shown his testimony to two retired intelligence officers both experts on al

quaida. >> my interpretation is that again, this is a guy who in substantial measure is who he says he is. he knows these people. he has incites into how they operate. >> there are very few people that come out with detail of what is going on at the top. so somebody being able to report what is going on over a period of months even perhaps years even if it is a few years back, is extraordinary valuable. >> if i had to give him a ballpark grade i would say probably like 70/30. 70 being genuine. >> spain and the u.s. have investigated the attacks and closed their cases. >> clayton swisher al jazeera. >> since we started running this story president hadi has sacked him from his

current job as yemen's military. he wants him to stand trial once sacked he believes he will lose his dip lo t maic immunity. we will cover more as we get them. al quaida informant on thursday aljazeera.com/al quaida informant. there you will find extended interviews and much more. the swiss company instant noodle brand is facing a nationwide crack down in india, after allegations that they contain dangerously high levels of led. and big retail chains have pulled it from the stores. >> reports from the states to come, and then we will take a complete picture of the whole issue. and accordingly action will

be taken. and appropriate action will be taken accordingly. >> this update from new delhi. >> a private company nestle and taken a complaint to the national consumer condition. from sample tests being carried out across the country. while this is going on, nestle india has launch add massive social media campaign to allay concerns of millions of consumers of it's products. it is putting out information like twitter and facebook, telling consumers what is in their product and while they are still safe to consume.

however this will contribute to a wider debate about food safety and regulation of food processing which we can expect to go on for some time. this is hugely significant as well given that you are talking about many millions of consumers that this potentially efforts. a huge number of people across india have grown up on maggie noodles. it's been endorsed by famous people and it is the products that they have marketed for many years as a safe nutritious alternative when it comes to food products in the country. many are still trying to recover to the ordeals they wasn't through before the journeys began. the stories are common ones of escape from war oppression and poverty.

their ordeal as symboling of the many troubles of our times. risking their lives across the mediterranean sea was their only option. they were found adrift in the water the italian border police. he says the libyan skipper abandon them, they had no water or food, no one knew how to steer the boat, people were panicking. their suffering is etched on their faces. some stair into on live i don't know, perhaps trying to come to terms with what they have been through. she left behind her two children. her husband is in yemen, she honest contact with him when war broke out there two months ago. >> we could not talk or ask anything in libya each time we opened our mouth they

would beat was a stick, they raped us until we paid money it was horrible. >> i never expected to be treated like that in another country. there was no mercy. >> i really thank italy nobody has been so nice with us in a long time. the women huddled together even though the ship is slowly taking them away from the african coast. they won't be possible, some are pregnant. >> but war caught up with him, so he had to move again. in sudan i was captured and locked in a house i escaped and went to libya i was pennyless, i was hoping to find some compassion, but nothing. today is my birthday, when i touch land i will drink ten

pepsis to celebrate, it is a new beginning. >> the deck was silent, many slumped into deep sleep the ship continued to sail back to europe. as nightle family memberses in the coast of italy appears life returned on deck. now there are smiles perhaps the first ones in a long time. this is the moment we have been waiting for so patiently, the moment they can get off the boat and touch land. a whole new life is starting even though they don't know what it means. >> there's a rush to get off the ship, this time there's excitement. maybe even amazement that after suffering so much, there is some of the lucky ones that made it to europe. from australian detention center. the three iranians were being held on the island, they are

setting up home under a controversial scheme, one rights group has referred to them as human guinea pigs. the four migrants arrived here, the were immediately spirited through the v.i. p. entrance, these are considered after all to be v.i. p. refugees well away they have now been taken off to an undisclosed location, where their assimilation into life will begin. they will have language courses they will be given training for different trades. all of these guarantees to help them assimilate into life here, but of course these people have thought by now they would be assimilated happily into life in australia, and the australian authorities have different ideas this agreement goes back to last september, and this is only the first batch of refugee asylum seekers

that have been convinced to come here. the authorities in australia are hoping that this first batch will have such a smooth experience assimilating into life here that many more will want to follow them. >> still ahead anger in china, as relatives of those missing from the capsized ship demand answers. and in sport vina pulliam is the come back queen.

the military to prepare for the possibility of a full scale russian invasion. parliament is facing a threat from russian backed groups along it's entire eastern border fighting has been intensifying in the east as charles reports from moscow. this men were wounded and separatist fighters on wednesday. over the past 24 hours five seriously wounded soldiers have been brought into the hospital. one officer who was released from captivity was also brought here, he will be examined. soldiers there are serious wounds. >> both sides accuse each other of the fighting the ukrainian president has again blamed russia for supporting

the separatist fighters and warned of what he described as a threat or full scale war. 14 groups numbering 9,000 soldiers on the territory of ukraine. the concentration of the military need the boardser 1.5 times bigger than it was a year ago the military must be as ready for our renewal of an enemy offensive as they are for a full scale invasion along the full length of the border, we must be truly ready for this. the kremlin says it is monitoring the situation and is concerned by what it says a representative for the self-proclaimed people as republic say they respected the february cease fire, and wanted to work harder toward as lasting peace.

to find another $7.4 billion. 1.6 billion of that is to repay the fund. the rest are bills including $1.8 billions in salaries and state pensions. the greek government says lit prioritize those pensions over any payments to the i.m.f. so assuming they get through june and july, they will have to find another $6.5 billion. some will go to repay others will go to pay off bills that majorities $3.8 billion will be for the european central bank, they have been keeping banks afloat with emergency financial assistance. so if greece isn't bankrupt by august, and has made all their loan repayments things will start easing slightly, which is $193 million to the i. m.f., just own $1 billion in bills but still an enormous 3.5 billion what happens if they can't make the payments? the center of economics and business research explains. >> i think the best option

that is out there which will satisfy the markets is if the euro zone muttling through which means possibly lending for the extra money so they can make some of the repayments that are due and then worry about the rest of the debt later. speculation is growing as 12 members of the oil producing block, the big question is whether they will keep pumping out oil at the current rate of $20 billion a day, or listen to greg cories calling for a cut. reports on what is and isn't expected. in vienna, keeping the output

target at $30 billion a year. almost 60% lower at this

stage last year. a decline that has been detrimental to venezuela. seeking to bring tot both opec and nonopec countries that will help them stabilize the market, one experts say will make very little difference. >> i would call them the coalition of the unable and unwilling, which is they want to take place. >> even increased production of the u.s. shale oil seened by opec is such a threat last year is being tolerated. >> in settings this opulent and refined the harsh realities in regional conflicts rarely rear their ugly heads be uh the recent advances in iraq, are certainly cause for concern. >> in oil installations continue with capacity growth expected to rise in

and finally open the door to essentially two things. one is reparations to the victims of this very long conflict and also the possibility of an agreement on transitional justice. and by that i mean the punishment. now that's really the main stumbling block and that's because up until now they have said they will not spend any time in jail, and it looks like now they are changing their minds somewhat, and saying that there could be a special inclusion system that they could accept. it could be a difficult balancing act to make, that's because whatever they decide, is not going to be a complete amnesty, they will have to find something that will

satisfy the rebels that will satisfy the columbians. >> to the statute. >> thank you very much indeed. >> another ten bodies have been recovered from the sap sized ship in china's river hundreds of passengers are still missing. reports from the scene. >> they are still calling eight rescue operation but it is the dead and not the living they are finding now. the weather is making that task much more dangerous. it briefly hopes that the work of rescuers drilling holes in the upturned hull. they eventually got inside but found no one alive. officials expect to soon begin the delicate task of lifting the vessel from the water, an end case they feel there are no more vive veries. >> on a day when the confirmed death toll continued to rise, more

quakes have done physically to the bureaucracy the district office was almost entirely obliterated personal paper trails among the damage but there was one bit of good foreign. shells are still intact in the one surviving part of the building. >> given how much has been destroyed it is a huge amount of luck, but if you come around the back of the building you find another top on top of a far less organized pile of paperwork piecing this together will be a mammoth task here. >> here, few are waiting for help the two family whose live in this shelter say lit be finished in days. then they will focus on rebuilding their businesses. starting out on the long road back to where life was when the earthquake struck al jazeera, nepal. >> ahead on an al jazeera a giant leap for robotics.

so the idea here is they have to interface you can reduce the time, not only for us, but maybe in the future and be able to use robotic systems. >> it could also allow astronauts around the moon, to perform precise work, on the surface. that could use a robotic rover without having to endure the harsh atmosphere, and without the 12 minute delay when signals are relaying back to earth. >> we have only one chance to perform an operation. and so astronauts need to be well trained so when we take that action, they do it correctly.

>> for now the team is celebrating the technical success of their trial and other tests plan for september with a more advances robot each step they say takes us a little closer to realizing the potential of machines to give a helping hand. >> al jazeera. at the european space and technology research center in the nethernd las. thank you very much, lauren, and as lauren mentioned earlier in this news hour, if i family members former vice president is promising to reveal all about corruption, at the world governing body, and is alleged the involvement of the outgoing president, in a television address to his native trinidad the 72-year-old says he has given incriminating documents and now feared for his life he is one of the officials under investigation, he has repeated his allegations at political rallies. i also will give them my
