and china crack edward snowden files. people told to stay indoors as the flood-hit capital of georgia sees many zoo animals on the loose south africa - heads of state are gathering for the african summit in johannesburg. the official theme is women and empower. the unrest is expected to dominate the agenda. many leaders want urgent dialogue to end violence in south sudan, and call for an end to xenophobic attacks. what do we expect to happen at the summit today? >> well heads of state are

meeting at the african union summit. it's day one of the meeting. there were smaller meetings up to this. burundi is high on the agenda. the african union wants a better grip on that situation. they want a dialogue to continue in south sudan and burundi - more so in burundi, where mediation has not led to much result, and believes that the african union should get more involved in the situation. ultimately we are looking at the theme of women in parliament and development, as well as agenda 20-63, close to the heart of the african union chair. who has been championing these causes for some time. this was meant to come up in a previous summit in january. that issue was sidelined because

of a number of other issues. gender activists were disappointed, hoping that they'd have a better audience this time around. women want a better inclusion across the continent and the awaran chairperson wants women to be empowered in terms of financial inclusion and looking at bringing in women. >> reporter: we say that burundi is the one issue that will dominate the summit. you say the african union wants dial ag there. to what extent is the union passing the buck as far as burundi is concerned? >> well at this point the african union prior to event in burned in the last couple of months where we saw a large number of protests jacob zuma said that she had been speaking to president in burundi

regarding a third term in offices saying indications were clear that he wanted a third term, would pursue it and would alter the constitution to allow for that. there has been dialogue but it has not changed his intentions at all. much of the responsibility has been put at the feet of the east african community in terms of dealing with the crisis. they are looking at a regional solution. they have confidence in the eac, that dialogues should continue and they have taken a step back for the time being, hoping a solution can come from the region. >> thank you, good to talk to you. ms miller in johannesburg the international criminal court asked south africa to arrest sudan's president bashir who is attending the summit. in 2009 he was the first ruling head of state to be indicted by the i.c.c. and he was accused of ordering war crimes and crimes

against humanity in darfur conflict that killed 300,000 people. the i.c.c. suspended its investigation in december a move criticized by victims. >> al jazeera's bureau chief in southern africa and chairman of south africa - they are not going to act on the i.c.c. request, are they? >> we need to remember at the moment what has been said is the role that they play in south africa but no one confirmed that it is actually in south africa. the foreign asians department or the department of international relations or cooperations in south africa have gone under ground, have not issued a statement. we are not sure what is going on. important to note that there's a whole - there's pressure on south africa to act in this

regard. statement in the past suggest that if they come to south africa, he will be arrested. we have seen the civil society putting pressure on jacob zuma to act if he is in south africa. >> the african union made it clear that a sitting president can't be indicted and the soviet union will fall in line. >> the comment made before after the haeds of state met in 2009 when they sought that the head of state should be indicted. south africa said that if he visits south africa, he will be arrested. we'll have to wait and see what will happen. at the moment there's no evidence that he is in south africa. what we know for sure is that the plane which carried the emblems and symbols of sudan is somewhere in south africa.

>> i want to tap into your expertise on burundi, and pick up what i was saying earlier. we say that burundi will dominate the talks at this au summit. the au is passing the buck to the east african economic community, isn't it? >> that's what they do all the time. the buck has been passed to the east african community. they are at pains to justify what to do how to go about the situation in george burnett. importantly, the discussion is about the postponement of the elections, not the withdrawal of raining for a third term. they are not calling for the postponement, but not to run for a third term. four of the seven judges who

endorsed the constitution that, you know will allow pierre nkurunziza to run for a third term have left the country. only three did approve the constitutional amendment to run for a third term. the east african community is discussions something relevant. burundi people are talking about him not running while the politicians are talking about the postponement of the election. >> good to talk to you, thanks for coming to the studio to walk to us. >> al-shabab fighters up launched a down attack. the attack killed seven people, including 11 people and two kenyan soldiers. let's go to catherine soi who is in the nearby town. what can you tell uts about the attack in lamu county?

>> i have just spoken to the military spokesman who says that they are currently pursuing some of those armed men who were injured in this attack. they made a public plea for whoever sees people who are injured, or people passing through or looking for medical help, to get in touch with the milt or any other administrative block. this is a big concern. it comes on the eve of another attack last year june where there were close to 100 that died in a couple of weeks. that's why you see me here behind me honouring those that die. let me go back to this attack. what is concerning and standing out is the fact that some of those killed by kenyan soldiers were kauk cairns and these --

caucasian, and they credit some of the attacks, and say foreigners among the government were attacking some areas. this is a concern, and something that is happening. other questions that i've been asked it where did they come from somali is about 200km - 100 or 10km from where this attack happened. where did they come from. a forest a forest in lamu county, that is where the people are said to have been hiding out. there has been an ongoing military operation. people are concerned. here is the story we did about people boning here a year after the town was attacked. >> reporter: this person started to rebuild his hotel, a year after it was burnt down by gunmen. he was in this room when woken

by gun surveyor. -- gun fire. the town center was under attack. by dawn 50 were dead. the town was terrified. >> the gunmen could have been paid by the politicians or al-shabab. they were claiming they were fighting for the rite of muslims, whose land was taken by christian. >> reporter: before they could bury their loved ones there were more attacks. many have been hacked to death. al-shabab were blamed but local political net works were claimed. this was a guest house. many that lost their property and loved ones are yet to recover. they are waiting for compensation. >> this woman's husband was killed. he left her with nine children

and grand children. the government gave her $900 to bury him, and she was promised more. she's still waiting. >> that would have gone a long way to raise my family. i can't take the children to school. feeding them is a problem. we live by the grace of god. >> many are frightened here. buses were mandatory and are given a mandatory escort. the government was negligent. >> the security - intelligence was there for them to act. >> reporter: gerry recently welcomed a new addition. her grandson was named after her husband, who died during the attack. the baby is a joy, but an extra mouth to feed. so behind me as you can see, people are knatherring for a

memorial for -- gathering for a memorial. that plaque will have names of me killed in the area. the theme is interfaith coming together. cohesion. there was a lot of relingous attention. -- religious attention. many say they were taken by christians. cohesion has been a focal point. people are afraid. there has been increased security, a lot of patrols. not just people here. people from across the country. they were concerned. and they say that they know it's a fact, that there are al-shabab cells, and they are concerned by the fact that most of those carrying out the attacks were kenyans. >> thank you katherine say in

mpeketoni in kenya israel will investigate reports that a group of its soldiers will beat up a palestinian man. details shows a soldiers swinging a rifle. more soldiers wrestled him to the ground. it happened north of ramallah on friday during a demonstration. elsewhere in ramallah a palestinian man was killed after being run over by an israeli vehicle. the driver lost control when the man threw a firebomb in that direction. u.n. secretary general secretary ban ki-moon is expected to meet leaders from gulf countries to end the crisis in yemen. houthi representatives are yet to arriving for talks due to start on monday. we have this report from saudi arabia's capital riyadh. >> saudi arabia special forces -

these units will be deployed along the border with yemen. where coalition air strikes against the houthis continue. the oil-rich kingdom acuses the houthi rebels of destabilizing the region. saudi arabia insists the military campaign will end if the houthis pull out fro yemen's cities. >> saudi arabia when they started the strike in yemen, are in it for the long haul or term or to achieve the goals. however, achieve goals meaning more civilians and casualties. i think saudi arabia - it's a good point and result and compromise by the houthis. i think they'll jump on board. this is the man appointed by the u.n. to end the war in yemen. they want the yemenis to give diplomacy a chance.

yemeni have a wise attitude, and we need them to come with an open mind. >> reporter: yemen's governments set conditions for the peace talks in geneva. >> translation: the houthis should pull out fro the cities and capitals and stop blocking positions and release government officials including the defence minister. >> reporter: the conditions have been rejected by the houthis, and allies of the former president ali abdullah saleh. this is were there could be more fighting where the police talks collapsed much the houthis gathered forces on the outskirts of the province an area rich in oil and gases. we know that the houthis are planning a major offensive to take over the area. there's fighting on the outskirts of the city but they will not be able to control the province. thousands fled the home.

the lucky ones made it to neighbouring countries, many are stranded. they only hope an end to the fighting. the houthis and former president ali abdullah saleh have the upper hand on the ground. they will likely ask for political representation in exchange for a retreat from the areas of control. still to come on the al jazeera newshour we look at how i.s.i.l. is taking advantage of violence and political turmoil in libya. >> and i'm in azerbaijan where the government says there's no political prisoners much dozens of journalist human rights lawyers and activists are behind barz. >> great goals between argentina and paraguay. all the action from chile later in the hour.

roots here. >> translation: as long as there's no international way to remove i.s.i.l. despite the hundreds of thousands of people and barrel bombs, we can't go back. we have big hopes to go back. the facts show we caned. >> there are half a million syrians in the frov jips. all are escaping the war back home. >> translation: we are a 5-member family. i had a new baby for any family the situation was hard because of a lack of work. i don't think leaving turkey to go to europe and waiting for a chance to go back to syria. syrians know that they are here for the long haul. >> translation: of course we had to set up business to lie and adapt to turkish life. if you don't work you can't

leave. we all know the situation is syria, we don't know when we'll come back. >> reporter: turkey hosts half of the syrians that have fled. turkey has been supporting the syrians, and only expected the revolt against bashar al-assad to take a few months not years. the ethnic make up of towns on this side of the border is changing - perhaps for the long term i.s.i.l.-aligned fighters are being pushed back in the eastern libyan city of determina. a group of fighters calling itself the shura council says it will not allow i.s.i.l. to take route there. >> reporter: skirmishes occurred for days in this city they have made gains and pushed back i.s.i.l. from mosques and hotels. they belong to a coalition of

the military chief of a government. hard line groups are part of the coalition. one is led by a former inmate of guantanamo bay considered to be close. another controversial group is the martyrs' brigade. with no central government in cruel of libya powerful groups entered areas. representatives met in morocco, and considered a unity plan. with one side seeing the general, saying he must go, and other trying to share power. many find is hard to imagine how they'll ever reach agreement let talk about this with the director of the southern institute based in tripoli,

analysing libyan politics and understanding of libyan issues. what is your take of what is going on now? >> it's an interesting battle. one has to look beyond the chaos that gripped the last 12 months. it is an interesting city. it had a heavy past that has been neglected since the revolution. it has no judicial police, presence of judiciary, in the same way. and has been long on the radar of groups like i.s.i.s. and, unfortunately, at a local level has been gripped by violence since object last year where i.s.i.s. and groups in small numbers are aligned with i.s.i.s., and began an assassination attempt. since then it's been a tense war 2010 them. even though there's a larger war

between operation down and dignity. both vowed to stop fighting each other. or the last two weeks, the last week in particular, an assassination, coordinated attempt occurred. three or four of the leaders were killed. they were led by those who thought during the revolution, and since then gripped. but it is an interesting scenario. you have the local politics over the control of city featuring the city between the st martin's brigade. operation shura and others. you have i.s.i.s. versing a coordination of governments. it epitomizes the arab spring. >> the shura council are former revolutionaries, rite? >> they are former

revolutionaries, some have been linked to al qaeda, and linked to the al nusra front, much of the fighting is over recruitment, whether they come into africa go onwards to syria, nusra or i.s.i.s. the control is crucial for the brigade and the shura good to talk to you. many thanks for being with us in what looks like a wet and dreary london. speaking of wet - i don't know whether it's dreary or not, the south-west monsoon is leaping ahead. here to tell us more is meteorologist. >> it was a slow start. it's been pushed up in the west and in the north-east we had huge amounts of rain for two weeks. it 100mm a day. the result is not just flooding

of villages but swollen rivers and carving away of the land mass much the rivers are disappearing and swept away. it's not just people being displaced. they are losing their livelihood. it happens every year. this is a bad year and the same familiar diagonal line which you should see is with us. typically you recall 102mm in the last two days. it eased down a little bit. it's not alone. rain has been falling elsewhere. the rains come further north. that up into gudjerat. the heat has gone. the hon soon showers are ahead. it's not just the rain sometimes it's violent, bringing a tree down. the rain itself should be where the green is shown. the black dotted line is where it is.

asylum in russia after revealing secrets from the u.s. national security agency. the sunday times said british spies could be identified. rory challands is in moscow. what do we make of this? what does the russian government make of it? >> the russian government has not said anything about this so far. they are unlikely to aside from the fact that it's a sunny sunday and most officials are out of up to. there's a number of reasons why the russians may not want to shout too loudly about this. first of all russia rarely comments on matters of intelligence. if it has access to a vast treasure trove of information as the "sunday times" article is claiming, russia will want to use it to best effect, and that is not saying what informs it has and doesn't have. secondly russia has said that

it's hosting of edward snowden is a purely humanitarian gesture, and not to do with potential intelligence games. as dubious as that claim might seem russia will be unlikely to want to blow that story. if there is something that russia ends up saying about this, it will be along the lines of this is an attempt by the u.k. intelligence services to smear edward snowden, and deflect from the u.k. intelligence services misdeeds. given the short supply of hard information that's been in the sunday times report it should be easy for the russians to make that claim if they wish to do so rory challands in moscow a senior defense official told al jazeera that the russian
