on bail an exclusive interview guantanamo's child - omar khadr only on al jazeera america he had snowed >> welcome to the news hour in doha. our top stories keep the oil flowing, opec maintains production despite calls from the city to push prices higher. a food fight in india regulators say maggie noodles of unsafe for human consumption. the company says they're fine. >> the biggest theft of u.s. data ever, china says it's not to blame. >> now blatter he's not going

down quietly. >> some say the offensive that scandal could help football take off in the united states. >> the oil cartel opec decided to keep pumping on him at 30 million-barrels a day. the 12 12 members have been meeting in vienna. an oversupply cut prices. despite pressure from oil companies and members delegates decided not to boost revenue but reducing output. crude peeked at $111 a barrel, but by january dropped to a five year low dipping below $46. the price has now recovered slightly to around $62 but oil extraction is an expensive business not enough to cover many producers' costs. let's go to vienna. muhammed as predicted opec

deciding to stick with its policy of its current output levels. >> that's right there was absolutely no suspense today here in vienna as rewarding the outcome of this meeting. it went exactly as planned as analysts told you also it would. talking through what happened today, i'm pleased to be joined right now by the lead oil analyst. doctor i want to ask you what exactly happened in there today? we heard everyone speaking diplomatically, agreement amongst the opec countries but clearly some countries wanted to see something else happening. >> absolutely. i'm sure there were a few companies, venezuela and libya who were looking at opec cuts, but i don't think some of the larger members or more prominent members, saudi arabia, iraq and u.a.e. were likely to agree to that.

it's more a question of non-decision. they never he wanted to change the quotas, because these countries are really pushing for a market share at a time when prices are so low and how do you make up for lost revenue is by increasing your market share and that seems to be the strategy more countries want to follow. >> there seems to be an undercurrent with rewards to the iran question. now, we heard earlier from the iranian delegation saying they are ready to put more oil out there, that they should be able to. they expect to be able to soon, why wasn't this dealt with a little bit more today? >> to me. opec and particularly saudi arabia which used to be in the last few years not way back, but last few years sawed reign had become proactive and suddenly with excess oil in the market seem to be getting a more ratingive decision to the turn of events in the market, for example iran says return for by far we don't know whether that's going to happen or not but if they return or they

understand, they could potentially add not just from storage but increase existing fields opec wants a more ratingive stance and wait until december to react to oil produced something brought by iran and look into it. it's a question of how much oil opec is producing and really, if there is a concern within the members, which doesn't seem to be the case, a december meeting will be likely to be a non-decision. >> when it comes to venezuela and other countries that have really been affected as far as the price of oil right now are you sensing that they're ok with what happened here today or are they still frustrated with the decision to keep output at the same level? >> i don't think they are ok. of course they are not going to be ok. including saudi arabia, they are all above the current price of

oil where it is right now. absolutely not. what happens is of course they are feeling the pain far more than some of the richer members are feeling and unfortunately some of these poorer members do not seem to have a stronger say or a push in the opec committee meetings clearly at this time. >> ok, doctor, the lead oil analyst, thank you for joining us, back to you. >> muhammed, thank you. india's food safety regulator banned the sale and production of maggie instant noodles after some were found to be unsafe to wheat. nine times have been widely popular snacks have been recalled because dangerous levels of lead were detected in some samples. they accuse them of mislabeling. the global head of nestle insist the noodles are safe to eat.

>> a point of concern from the press conference that nestle, and the c.e.o. have the global company were at. we're seeing nestle saying look, the independent testing that we've done says that our product is absolutely safe, that there is no lead or it's within permissible limits. the indian authorities seem to think otherwise. despite all of this, there is still a massive damage control campaign on the partly of nettle and that is what the global c.e.o. had to say in new delhi. >> safety for nestle is paramount, the first priority.

it is now our intention that we are going to work and do everything what it takes everything all it takes to clarify with the authorities the situation and to have the maggi noodles back on the shelf as soon as possible. >> india not maggi's only customers. could this effect other countries where the noodles are sold? >> that's been a big question. from what we understand at the moment we've got to also clarify here that nestle india is a subsidiary of nettle and that's the company that produces the maggie noodle product consumed in india.

the product has been held up in terms of nepal and supplies are being checked that are sold in stores in the u.k. in terms of internationally that's as far afield as this story goes at the moment, but certainly questions will be raised across markets where these noodles are sold and consumed quite widely. >> thank you for that from new delhi there. >> pakistani officials say eight of the 10 men who were supposedly convicted for trying to kill school girl activist malala yousafzai were cleared. they shot her in her head in 2012 on her school bus. in april security officials announced 10 men were sentenced to long jail terms following a secret trial. it's not clear if those acquitted have been released yet.

>> a fourth person has died from middle east respiratory syndrome in south korea. 41 cases have been confirmed. it's emerge that a doctor came into contact with more than 1500 people while infected with the disease. we have more. >> other conditioners spread virus laden droplets along the ward. what's not known is whether the virus has mutated into a more infectious version. >> this hospital has record add particularly large number of people infected at compared to other hospitals. therefore, we've decided to

release the name in order to trace all the people who have been in the hospital. >> until now such information has been the subject of crowd sourcing an on line mers map pinpointing locations where infected patients were believed to have been treated. parental pressure has seen school classes closed. 166 schools will be closed in two southern districts in seoul monday unless the situation improves. >> this weekend will be critical with that the incubation period for primary and secondary patients ends this weekend. if no further infection, we have stemmed the main tide. if there are more cases, we have to prepare for the spread into the local community. >> late on thursday night such concerns were heightened, when the mayor announced that a doctor exposed to a mers patient and since confirmed to have contracted the virus had been in contact with hundreds of people.

a day after developing mild symptoms but before his association said he knew he was exposed, he went to two medical symposiums with 200 fellow owners of this apartment complex. >> the kind of contacts the attendees would have had is unlikely to have promoted the transmission of mers, but seoul city government said all of those people need to be quarantined. >> all this has hilt the tourism industry with 7,000 would-be foreign visitors canceling trips. >> there's been a big drop in the number of tourists coming in. given the strain, this would would hit more than 50% of our business. if it goes on, i might have to consider shutting down. >> south korea is far from a nation in panic. for most, life goes on as normal but this disease is playing on the mind. mask sales having up seven fold in a week. for now south careens hope after a slow start the government that caught up enough

to slow and stop the spread of mers. al jazeera seoul. >> a huge migrant crisis as it cracks down on human trafficking. following the discovery of mass graves along its border last month, the thai prime minister is vowing to make this a top priority. we have more mom bangkok. >> thailand's government know that the recent exposure of camps of trafficked people along want border between thailand and malaysia and the boats of rohingyas have put the issue of human trafficking when it comes to thailand on the international agenda like never before. there have been events like this in the past to mark thailand anti human trafficking but people told me in previous years, there have been little more than talking shops amongst government officials. the presence of thailand prime minister here to give the key

note address suggests that this issue is being taken more seriously. he was keen to point out that this issue is now one of his government's top three priorities and officials here were handing out this, a list of the amendments to thailand anti human trafficking laws, much tougher penalties on those caught human trafficking. the issue is whether this will amount to more prosecutions, because thailand's record is pretty poor, 104 people were successfully prosecuted last year. that's a number even lower than the previous year, despite the general consensus being this is an issue getting oh worst for thailand not better. sessions like this all very well but unless they have a practical impact on the ground are not really worth all that much. >> four asylum seekers from myanmar hope for a fresh start in cambodia. they wanted to rae settle in australia but were involved in a controversial transfer deal.

>> they arrived with little certain money hidden inside a van. the governments of cambodia and australia were equally sensitive with no official comment but australians involved in aid work here were more vocal. >> the ethics of compassion, the ethics of hospital at, even theette ethics of justice from a very rich country with lots of space leave a lot to be desired. >> under the agreement refugees refused entry into australia and currently languishing on the remote pacific island are given the option of being moved to cambodia. they are promised data, money a home a job and access to schools and hospitals. the only problem is, it's cambodia. one of asia's most impoverished nations and with a poor record on human rights and dealing with asylum seekers from neighboring countries. >> sped up assisting the way cambodia can handle the problem

australia turned a blind eye and put more burden on cambodia. >> the burden on cambodia is eased by the cash the refugees represent, the agreement worth $40 million over the next few years, money that the australians are putting up. since signed last september these are only the first four you volunteers, making them look like very expensive imports. >> the international refugee organization has helped in the transfer after receiving guarantees about what the newcomers will receive here. if the deal is so good, why so few takers? >> we don't know how many more will be convinced and want to come here. the important thing is no one is being coerced to come here. it's not what they want, if they want to be in australia but they are better off than they were at home and better off than they were en route. >> how much better off they will

cyber attack last month. the u.s. us expects china but the chinese government says accusations are irresponsible. live from washington d.c., rosalind tell us about this cyber attack and why china is in the frame. >> essentially the u.s. government says that it first detected evidence that someone had breached the computers at the office of personnel management basically the human resources agency for the entire u.s. government's workforce back in april. it took a couple of weeks for them to conduct a preliminary investigation, and the department of home land security then concluded at the beginning of last month or early may that apparently chinese hackers had something to do with this breach of security. this includes a lot of very personal information about current u.s. government workers

and government -- informant government workers so obviously there's concern about identity theft and the government is having to support these worker and former employees in order to help them since this is a case of identity theft. however there has been speculation that while this might have been the work of chinese hackers, whether they were if i am 80 with the chinese government there's also speculation that perhaps it's not just a matter of trying to steal people's identities in order to basically get goods and money using someone else's identity but that this could be a way of trying to figure out how to infiltrate the u.s. government. again, that's speculation but that discussion i guess out there. >> ok, rosalind, thank you for that. >> human rights groups egypt say increasing numbers of political activists are disappearing,

blaming egyptian security agents and attribute the disappearances to a wave of arrests ahead of a planned protest by the april 6 youth movement. >> u.s. led coalition forces have reportedly carried out airstrikes on isil in northern aleppo and syria. strongholds were targeted. opposition fighters have reportedly taken control of the town south of aleppo after heavy fighting with syrian government forces. >> a nephew of former yemeni president ali abdullah saleh has been sacked from his post. he was military commander in ethiopia. it came from president al hadi. >> allegations made to al jazeera suggests that al saleh

knew where the bomb maker for al-qaeda was hiding. he said he exposed the expert's whereabouts. >> one of the world's most wanted men, thought to be al-qaeda's top bomb maker, he reported by built the devices in some of the group's most daring attacks. under wear bomb on delta's flight christmas day, 2009, and explosives hidden in a printer on a cargo plane a year later were built by him. this al-qaeda informant told the yemen government where the bomb maker was hiding.

he says he informed on al-qaeda from 2006 until 2009. he'd been a member of the group since the late 1990's. he claims he first met asiri in yemen in 2008. he says asiri was training fighters. he informed many in security services, including president ali abdullah saleh's nephew, deputy director of the national security bureau.

>> the colonel could not be reached for comment. he says he was fooled and so was the united states and many western governments. today, ibrahim asiri has not been caught and the threat of a bomb on a plane made by him remains. will jordan, al jazeera. >> you can watch the full documentary later on friday. it's also on line at aljazeera.com. you'll find extended interviews and lots more. a survivor of the july 2007 car bomb attack mentioned in that

documentary is calling on spanish prosecutors to reopen their investigation. he lost his wife in the bombing at the temple. seven other spanish tourists and two yemenis were killed. the yemeni government failed to provide information and evidence. al-qaeda was blamed for the attack. >> now the world was shocked back in 2001 when the afghan taliban blew up the giant buddha statues. 15 years later the ancient city has been declared a capital of culture. we have this report. >> as you may know, europe has a cultural capital every year, now saw the asia has decided to have one, as well. it's a real coup for afghanistan and for the valley that they've decided that this should be the first one. in many ways, this is a

symbolic largely symbolic naming as a cultural capital because there is major security concerns. this weekend, we have a huge delegation of hundreds of officials from across afghanistan here for the inauguration we expect ministers to come here and celebrate. we heard local officials won't be coming because of security concerns. that's a real issue and challenge for afghanistan and for the area, and that issue is how can it secure the country to receive foreign tourists here to bring investment and development and create a tourism industry. >> time for the weather now with everton. there's a possibility of a cyclone in the arabian sea. >> that's right not too far from us. looking at graphics here, you can see this massive circulation

which has been swirling away, a little clutch of thunder heads which have depend and pretty close to the west coast of india. i think over the next couple of days it will go further north or so. could well see heavy showers over the next few days. by the end of the week, it may push up towards a good part of southern pakistan. we do actually have a warning. there's a medium chance of it developing into a cyclone. that's certainly one to watch. it ties in with the western moon soon which has at long last arrived in southern india. the wind from a southwesterly direction join up with this area of low pressure. that's why we have this system which has the potential to develop something really quite nasty. that's something we'll keep you informed on. rain is across southern parts of india, taking temperatures back at a touch.

it's around about five days later, 800 kilometers of schedule actually. they got very heavy rain into that eastern side of india. central areas of industry, the heatwave continues. >> thanks very much indeed for that. more high pressure over fifa. out going president sepp blatter said he is working hard on reforms in a first tweet after his decision to step down. australia have started corruption allegations. the u.s. is taking the lead in cleaning up the game. that could help make the game more popular there as we report from miami. >> now blatter he's not going down quietly. >> it's not often radio shows are taken up with soccer. perhaps it's a sign of growing importance that so much

attention is being paid to the u.s. investigation into fifa. >> sepp blatter isn't the only person at fault here. >> the scandal won't stop fans from watch ago short that's steadily growing in popularity. >> people expected it. they kind of knew that it was going on. there's that side and then you have the actual sports side. i think they do separate the two and they really care about the sport. the corruption is kind of on the other side itself. >> in many big u.s. cities sights like this are not uncommon. youth football leagues have witnessed huge growth. during the last world cup, more north americans than ever tuned in to watch a sport that many perceive as struggling to gain a hold here. >> the world view of football in the united states is that it is something that could never rifle popularity of baseball or american football. the demographics here are

changing quickly. by 2050, it's expected a third of the population will be hispanic and many believe all this attention could actually help the sport grow. >> sepp blatter resigning and new blood in leadership positions may allow some of my non-soccer friends or friends who are not a big fan of soccer be more open-minded. >> maybe the change is going to help the soccer world and that may help the sport grow in the united states. >> football is far from challenging mainstream u.s. sports, but few doubt that could soon change. a generation that was introduced to the game by so-called soccer moms are growing up fast and football is no longer met with indifference. the current scandal engulfing the game is unlikely to stop football steady progress in the u.s. al jazeera, miami, florida. >> china says there is no hope are finding survivors after monday's cruise ship disaster. we'll have a report. >> new rules for mexico's elections, may open the field for some far out candidates. >> we'll have all the sport. the golden state warriors and

>> welcome back. let's remind you of our headlines now. the 12 member block opec agreed to keep output at current levels. oil prices have slipped since the decision was announced in vienna. >> india has band the sale of maggiemaggi instant noodles after

samples were found unsafe to eat. >> china said accusations of a major security hack on the united states is irresponsible. 4 million past and present federal employees records were broken into last month the largest theft of u.s. government data in its history. >> we have seen many similar media reports and remarks about this but are they scientific? we know hacker attacks are conducted anonymously across nations and that little hard to track the source. it's irresponsible and unscientific to make up trumped up assumptions without investigation. we hope that the u.s. can stop being constantly paranoid and show more trust to investigations in the field. >> let's get to a cyber crime specialist who joins us from

skype in switzerland. good to have you with us. the chinese government being pretty categoric that they weren't to blame for this signer attack. is it possible to find out who may have carried out the signer attack? >> technically speaking, it is sometimes possible to find out. in today's scenario, it is becoming increasingly very difficult to find out the exact source of the cyber attackers. this is so because today's cyber attackers invariably use large number of technologies which help and enable them to hide their electronic footprints. they will land you in a dead end, so in a majority of cases we do not know the real identity. this becomes all the more significant since today hackers are also using the the anonymity and

hide. >> how was this able to happen on such a large scale and with such apparent ease? >> well, today it's possible using technologies and using the internet per se to go ahead and hack into just about any system, because most system is absolutely secure. cyber security continues to be only relative with each passing day. you may be secure today but will definitely not be cyber secure tomorrow. it's easy for hackers who are constantly going ahead and coming up with new method aloes to hack into systems because they want to get more detail. today is a data driven economy. this helps them to come up with more informed decisions tomorrow. it's this data for which they are hungry and reach the systems' security networks. >> we've seen other cyber

breaches recently, the white house systems were compromised not long ago allegedly by the russians. iran's nuclear plant was attacked by a virus and they blamed the u.s. is this the way warfare is going now? >> well, we have to now wake up to a new world. a new world where cyber warfare will become routine. cyber warfare activities are already being engaged in by state and non-state actors across the world. unfortunately, it's a wild, wild west out there. there's no international treaty available which can affectively provide address and remedy to those who are attacked or no treaties by countries about what would be acceptable when we are going ahead and doing cyber warfare. warfare has been known since the dawn of civilization but today

there's a need for countries to come up with common denominators which can go ahead to countries to agree that this is acceptable and this is not acceptable. if we don't have these kind of international mechanisms in place, these things will continue to be available on a day to day base and with cyber crime, it will become increasingly difficult to track these guys and come up with remedies for the parties. >> interesting stuff, thank you very much indeed for your thoughts speaking to us live from switzerland. >> voters in turkey are electing a new government on sunday. the ruling justice and development party insists the economy has been their main success, but many voters are concerned by the current economic slowdown. we have this report from istanbul. >> the produce is fresh and abundant each with its price

tag at this market. the cost of living in on everybody's mind in the run up to polling day. >> we can't make ends meet. i have two children on a pension of j $500 a month. we are happy with our income, at least prices are not increasing every day. >> the development party came to power in 2002. turkey has enjoyed strong growth development and renewed prosperity for many. major infrastructure projects because the party's hallmark, building roads and airports, including this one on a man made island big construction projects multiplied and the economy drew. massive infrastructure plans lured foreign investors. $182 for the gross domestic product in 2013. new indicators are raising concerns. >> this is the first time in

many years that annual growth rates have fallen and unemployment figures have risen compared to previous election years. the main opposition parties are trying to seize the opportunity. >> statistics from the turkish government and international bodies say last year's growth rate was just over 3%, while inflation around 9%. unemployment levels rose to 11% and the national currency, the lira lost 13% of its value against the dollar. turkey release too much on construction, low borrowing rates and debt, say some. >> in 2010 and 2011, we had very high growth rates. it was with the money that flew into the turkish economy and we have 9% in average growth rate for two years but it brought a huge deficit for 10%, which was

definitely not sustainable. >> government leaders say the slowing of the economy promise sustained growth. they are viewing to cut personal debt and boost annual income to $25,000 in coming years. more than 55 million people are eligible to vote on sunday and when they'll be free to decide and make their own calculations. al jazeera istanbul. >> now the greeks are struggling to get their creditor to say agree to repayment terms. they say the people they owe money to just aren't listening. let's go to john in athens. what specifically are the greeks angry about and what are they planning to do about it? >> well, the greek government is angry about the fact that it's been faced with proposals which it says predate the four months of talks that have now been going on since it was elected. it says that after it proposed certain things, its creditors came back with things that date

back to the standing austerity agreement throughout the more nuanced governments agreed upon were worked out in the foregoing four months, so it's particularly upset about that and made more details public about what it's proposing. it's proposing chiefly on spending no more than about $7 billion in the next three years on repayments of debt. the reason is it wants to hold back as much money in the economy as it can in order to reinvest in growth and jobs. creditors on the other hand are demanding at least three times that. they want the greeks to spend at least $22 billion of taxpayer money servicing the debt, but this is a central government promise, to reduce that amount, because the government says if we keep paying that level of debt repayment then there won't be any money left over to help this economy recover it will just be bled dry. >> i know that the greek prime minister is going to address

parliament on this issue john. there is some suggestion that he might even call a new election because of this. >> that's right, two ministers the labor minister and social welfare minister this morning suggested that a summer election would be in the offing if talks fail this month and i remind you that the ultimate deadline is now looming it's june 30. after that, greece is no longer in any kind of financial support program, so it will have to be -- it will have to be an early deadline for talks middle of the month to bridge the gap between the current finances program and any new program that would start july 1. >> how are the public going to take to that? >> very frightened at the prospect of going solo, leaving the euro zone and entering july without arrangement with its

creditors. the public wants to see an agreement, particularly businesses here and people who are employed and paid salaries. people who are in the structured economy, people who are self employed are also worried because the market would gradually, they are afraid fall, and reduce their turnover, as well so the entire economy here is very concerned. >> john, thank you very much indeed for that. john in athens there. >> fleeting cranes have pulled the wreck of the eastern star cruise ship from the yangtze river in china. it's a tomb for 400 tourists, most of them elderly. the chinese government said there is no hope of finding survivors after the disaster. we have more from the river bank. >> the three day recovery effort yielded little, so the only option to remove bodies was to try to right the eastern star. two large floating cranes were used for that delicate task, helping to slowly turn the

vessel upright. nets were spread around the ship to catch what fell from inside. >> the next step is to make it float on water and salvage it. also we will serve for bodies of victims. at the same time, we will take care of leaking oil. >> the operation began after the government confirmed thursday night that it didn't expect to find anymore survivors. divers groped through murky water after cutting through the hole searching every cabin onboard. the powerful currents of the yangtze have dragged some bodies further downstream. along the river bank, volunteers are helping in the grim process of recovery, a task that could go on for many days. there are more than a thousand family members of the missing in the city closest to the accident and where many local people have been traumatized by that the events of the past few

days. such spontaneous gatherings would normally be a cause of unease for the authorities but they loud this candlelight vigil to go ahead because so many wanted to express their sadness and sorrow. >> we came here by ourselves to pray. we hope that the dead people can leave the world peacefully. >> we are all very sad. it's hard breaking. i have been taking care of family members for the last few days. >> a city filled with sadness and with so much more to come. adrien brown, al jazeera in southern china. >> still to come here on the program, bollywood comes to down. cashing in on india's movie industry.

veteran is playing to packed arenas with home spun wisdom on how he'll lower violence and clean up government in the rich northern states. more independence operating stagnant party structures can only be good news said top election officials. >> it needs renewal and therefore this external show of independence winning some positions can be that exstern shock needed. >> the man best placed to apply that shock is he el blanco. if he wings the race, it will send a warning to mexico's underperforming parties that if they can't do better, the

commenting if the game were to market itself better, perhaps the players could wear tighter shorts. blatter that been in the same room as the female nominees, has failed to recognize them them or called them by their wrong names. there are two sides to this argument. under blatter's watch the game has expanded out of its traditional strong holds in north america and europe and this tournament evolved from 12 countries to 24 this time around. also in 2013, three women were voted on to fifa's executive committee. that is the organization's top decision-making body, although given the core roded reputationation of some of the men involved, these three pioneers may see their promotion as something of a mixed blessing. blatter described himself as the godfather of the women's game, but many involved in it will be pleased that that particular relative won't be coming to too

many of their future get togethers, although blatter is still scheduled to appear at world cup final in vancouver on july 5. >> there is no getting away from the on going corruption scandal engulfing fifa. the south african police launched an investigation into bribery allegations surrounding the 2010 world cup coming after the emergence of a leaked letter reportedly written by south africa world cup chief to the fifa general secretary. in it, he appears to seek an indirect route for the transfer of $10 million to fifa. the south africa government insist the payment was used to help football development in the caribbean. >> fifa admitted they played the irish more than $5 million to avoid a legal battle after ireland not qualifying for the world cup. the head of the irish f.e.a. said fifa paid up to stop the
