but warns it not to abandon the peace process against the kurds. >> one man has been killed over 1,000 migrants storm the channel tunnel in calais but first pakistani police say they have shot dead the leader of the banned group lashkar-e-jhangvi which is behind hundreds of killings in the country. malik ishaq was killed in a shoot-out with security forces in punjab region. 13 ordinaries were killed including his response. his group, lashkar-e-jhangvi, is on the list of terrorist organizations including u.s. brit ain, india and russia. a group claiming responsibility for attacks on muslims. malik ishaq was accused of plot

ght the attack on the sri lankan cricket team in lahore and faced several murder trials but has been acquitted after witnesses refused to testify. we can talk to our correspondent demon son in yourself -- nicole johnson in islamabad. a dramatic end for a controversial figure. tell us about how it happened. >> that's right. it wasn't as simple as the pakistan security forces shooting him dead. what happened was he was rearrested about a week ago and was in detention. the nights that this happened he had been taken from detention to a weapons store where, along with his two sons he was giving information about weapons and explosives. the party was returning to detention when it came under attack by members of his group who wanted to free him and his sons. for a brief time they succeeded. they were raced off on

motorbikes but happened to be pakistan police en route, they intercepted and he was killed in a firefight. >> so how big a trial is this then for pakistan security forces who are certainly since the end of last year tried to clampdown on violent groups? >> that's right. they've been a big provision across the country, against these types of groups ever since the attack on the army school in peshawar. now, this group was one of the most powerful and significant groups in the country, certainly within the top 4. it has a close alliance with al qaeda. it's under the umbrella of the pakistan taliban. as you said it's responsible and has claimed responsibility for all sorts of attacks across the country. it's been responsible for creating sectarian violence. in pakistan it targeted shia

muslims, in 2013 in fact, two very large attacks in quetta and baluchize tan killed more than 800 people and carried out security force attacks in their military headquarters in raw way pinnedy. it's a blow for the group. it's unclear whether they'll retaliate. analysts believe at some stage they will and its significant achievement. some say in pakistan for the military and security forces. >> nonsons, our correspondent live from the pakistan capital islamabad. >> now, nigeria's newly elected president is on his way from cam roos for talks with his counterpart. cameroon is part of a regional force set up to fight the armed group. they are expected to call for a stronger alliance between his army and that of cameroon.

this report from our correspondent this man has been floating in and out of consciousness for a week. a interik tim of the laffed -- victim of the last suicide bomb attacks. he and his father the bread winners of the family are fighting for their lives. their businesses are destroyed. his recovery is a long way off. as in many areas of the north-east similar faces are common after a rise in suicide bombing attacks. >> the injured have all shorts of traumas, physical and mental. and there are some that are distressed which they have to manage. for now, that is a predicament facing many in hospitals here. most of the patients in this

ward are victims of boko haram. over the last six months hundreds of dead and injured passed through here. the hospital has seen an increase in the number of victims as boko haram fighters target civilians or suicide bomb attacks. >> reporter: the social-economic costs of the attacks pile up. this is a father of seven injured as he finished work. he's afraid of going back to work, or going near a crowd. >> the risks are too much. you are under threat. you are targeted at home or on the highway. there are threats everywhere you have a family to feed. if i can get a job away from here i'll leave. >> he is not alone. many traders and businesses have been destroyed by the attacks,

in families and the thing now is to avoid being hit now, turkish jets have been bombing kurdish fighters in the mountains of south-east turkey this is the first time kurdistan workers party or p.k.k. fighters have been attacked in turkey. previously they've been targeted from turkey in positions in iraq. now, n.a.t.o. is saying that it backed turkey's fight against i.s.i.l. but is urging turkey not to abandon the peace process with the kurds. more from the city in turkey turkish f-16 fighters jets

don't have too par to fly to hit new targets i.s.i.l. over the border. this was last week. they don't have further to go to target an old enemy many kurds are angry and frustrated that the turkish government seems to equate the threat from i.s.i.l. with the threat from the p.k.k. here, a mainly kurdish city, south-eastern turkey, representatives from more than 18 non-governmental organizations have been meeting. they are working out a joint response to what they fear is a threat to the already fragile peace protest between the p.k.k. and the government. >> translation: we call on the people, the kurds and the people of turkey to show solidarity. the only way to do it is to stand up against the policies. >> last month most of these people were celebrating the electoral success of pro-kurdish h.d.p. winning a seat in

parliament. now turkey's president was to lift the immunity of m.p.s suspected of being linked with what he called terror groups. they were questioning whether talks with the p.k.k. can carry on. >> i don't think it's possible to continue a peace process with those that take aim at the national security and brotherhood in this country. >> recep tayyip erdogan says having embarked on an offensive against terrorism, turkey will not back off. neither the p.k.k. nor the government officially said the peace process was over. one newly elected pro-kurdish mp told us that the launch against the governments hope that talks can work. well in about two hours from now the turkish parliament is due to discuss the ongoing operations against i.s.i.l. and the ppk. let's talk to zeina khodr, and start by telling us where you

are and what the situation is there? >> we are in the turkish border toin bordering the i.s.i.l.-controlled syrian border town of jir ab lose. the turkish military beefed up their positions, the last stretch of territory under the control of i.s.i.l. attentions high. we understand the military cancelled all leave of units, responsible for protecting the south-eastern boarders. turkey did not declare war on i.s.i.l. but on the p.k.k. as you mentioned earlier, for the first time jets targeted the p.k.k. on military soil. since the military offensive began, they started. the military said they carried out the attack in response to the p.k.k. fighters attacking

the turkish army. the turkish army and police came to attack. there has been a number of security incidents over recent days. the turkish government pointing the finger at the p.k.k. as we heard from bernard, the government questioning whether the peace process can continue and demanding that p.k.k. lay down its arms and the government saying that they have detained more than 1,300 in an ongoing crackdown. not only focussing on supporters of the p.k.k. but supporters of i.s.i.l. and illegal leftist groups. yes, because the turkish government currently is being accused by some isn't it of blurring the lines. blurring the lines between the far left illegal groups between p.k.k. and, indeed i.s.i.l. which was, one imagines the main trust of its operations.

>> yes, these accusations are made by kurdish politicians in turkey, what they are saying is that the government declared war on i.s.i.l. as a cover up. and the real target their target is the kurds. this is what the h.d.p. the pro-kurdish party is saying. the government denies this. we understand from official sources that the government has intelligent information that links the p.k.k. to i.s.i.l. and the plan is to destabilize turkey. ch is what government -- this is what government officials tell us and what they'll update the parliament which is holding an extraordinary session. this is heightening tensions in turkey and complicating the war in i.s.i.l. we have to remember the u.s.-led coalition has been relying on the kurds as partners on the ground in a fight against i.s.i.l. turkey made clear they considered the syrian kurds as a

terrorist organization linked to the p.k.k. that's where the problem lies and, yes, the accusations are made but the government denying them. >> zeina khodr, thank you. zeina khodr bringing us the latest from the turkey-syria border british government leaders held a meeting after migrants in france tried to storm the channel tunnel to england. one man was killed by a truck as 1500 migrants tried to get into the terminal overnight. monday night 2,000 migrants tried to get into the terminal close to the part of calais. thousands have been camping out in calais more months hoping to enter the u.k. . >> we are working closely with the french the home secretary working with the interior

minister. we invested money in the fencing and put fencing around the entrance to the tunnel. we do everything we can. the home secretary has been chairing a meeting this morning to make sure that everything that can be done working with the french is being done. about 3,000 migrants are camping in or around calais hoping to cross the channel to get into england. they are mainly from eritrea, sudan, and afghanistan euro tunnel says since the beginning of this year more than 37 attempts to reach britain have been blocked. eight migrants died this summer trying to head to the u.k. it has agreed to spend more than $10 million to step up security at the channel tunnel leonard doyle is a spokesman for t international organization for migration. he says the humanity of the migrants must not be forgotten.

>> they are protected under international law. and deserve all the respect and protection they can give them. treating them as criminals is not the way to do it. we suspect and hope there's a range of activities. once it's explained they are not refugees, those that do not qualify as refugees. we can't treat it as a security matter. g gived all migrants are at fault, are at fault, e are all at fight. human being have been migrating for millennia, it's the the strategy against hardship, human rights abuses - let's blame all of us. what we are seeing is in the reality of the world, when trades and services move easily, people are moving. businesses need people. in germany, it's the lowest birth rate in the world. it needs a young workforce. not necessarily the people coming ashore in an uncontrolled way in lampedusa, but we need processes where there are

opportunities for people to come and get jobs. and we need to show dignity and respect for those trying to escape from poverty and corruption. barring the door, forcing them into the hands of smugglers is not the way. we have a lot more to come on the al jazeera newshour. including as israeli m.p.s prepare to vote on a bill legalizing false feeding of prisoners on hunger strike. we talk to a prisoner about what it's like. plus we meet the cambodian farmers that say they'll run out of food if it doesn't rain soon. >> in sport - find out what role a smashed mobile phone played in getting this n.f.l. quarterback banned.

now, the israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu has approved the construction of 300 settler homes in the occupied west bank. meanwhile, jewish settlers and israeli forces confronted each other during a demolition drive in the beit-el-settlement. scuffles broke out after two buildings were demolished following a supreme court earlier. the israeli government fought the ruling trying to legalize the complex. israeli sediments. on palestinian land are illegal under international law israel's parliament is due to vote on a bill legalizing false feeding of -- force-feeding of prisoners. it's been called cruel. critics say palestinians held without charge could be

targeted. stephanie dekker reports. >> reporter: it was 35 years ago that abdul remembers exactly what it felt like. >> translation: they tied me down and brought a tube shoved it down my nose and push. i felt my head exploding down to my stomach. there's nothing you could do to resist. my stomach was empty. it hurt. >> reporter: he was part of a hunger strike protesting against british conditions, some were force-fed, two died because liquid got into their lungs. that was the last known case of force-feeding. force-feeding is controversial but could become law. supporters of the bill moderated the language to get it to pass. it faces strong opposition from the medical community. this is the social media campaign the doctors saying they'll never execute a law

telling them to force-feed prisoners. >> the discussion is whether it's to save life for not. the discussion should not be whether it's dangerous or not, whether it's ethic am. whether you can demand from a physician to do something against his belief. against his religion against his medical ethics. >> reporter: we put that to a man part of the team drafting the bill. >> translation: our law is not about force feeding but medical treatment. we want d to provide -- want is to be provided as necessary at the doctor's discretion. we will not force the hand of a doctor. they will not begin with force-feeding, but a righter treatment. if they need to force feed it will be after they come to the medical conclusion that it will save the patient's life. >> reporter: no patient died of

lunger strike in israel. there's little the patient can do if it becomes law and they are force-fed. >> they have to take us and be patient. i don't expect mercy from the enemy. it's been 35 years and five days. >> reporter: he says force feeding is not about saving lives but breaking spirits. he managed to put the days behind him. for others it could be a real and legal future children as young as 13 are being recruited into iraqi militias to fight against i.s.i.l. in anbar province. the militia known in iraq as popular mobilization forces are controversial, and human rights groups are concerned. imran khan reports from baghdad. >> reporter: young recruits study battlefield tactics in a shia base north of baghdad. they are taking advantage of

cooler night air to learn deadly skills. at summer camps across iraq they are being taught to fight. the teenagers answered the call to join the cleric the grand ayatollah khamenei. it's not just about weapons and surviving in a war zone but about indoctrination, believing that the fight is just. >> we are here at the camp answering the call to defend our lands from terrorism. we are getting courses on weapons, rules of engagement and first aid, and islamic doctrine evidence in i.s.i.l. video they use the mix of battlefield tactics and religion. both entrenched both saying they are right. not all the recruits are buying into the adoption. this is it hamza, and he asked for his identity to be killed. he's angry at the shia militia,

saying speaking out could provoke attacks on the family. >> translation: we defend our sacred lands. look at the sons of officials, most live oo abroad in safety. why don't they come back. i fight near one of the fronts in fallujah. my friend was injured and died. my family didn't allow me to go back. i lost from in fighting. i saw many die in advance. many others are not fighting but living a prosperous life elsewhere. >> reporter: the anger against iraqis who don't join the fight is typical. the shia ones are leading the charge against i.s.i.l. the numbers of militia casualties is hay. the united states is prohibited by law from supplying military aid from anyway regime which recruits underage soldiers. the u.s. supports the armed

forces backing the militias. critics of the militia say the reason they recruited so young was because of losses on the battlefield, a charge denied. by no means is this a new thing. saddam hussein, former dictator used to use young recruits. he called them his lion cubs for many it's a continuation of that tradition, it's a show of loyalty from iraq. >> cam bode i can't is enduring -- cambodia is enduring its worst drought for 30 years. farmers say they are facing an imminent crisis because of weak monsoon rains. we have this report from one of the worst-affected provinces. >> the people here are worried. by now these farmers should have finished planting their rice, but the rains have been week,

and there's not enough water to cultivate the crops. like many here, this person is concerned that she will not be able to harvest anything this year if the drought continues. >> we have never experienced this. even last year the rain stopped for a few days and started again. this year we don't have any rain. the well we use for drinking is drying up. >> this man and her mother is trying to plant rice seeds. they need it to feed the family of nine. the land is parched and the crops are dying. community leaders say 30% of farmland in this village is currently cultivated because the water shortage. like much of cambodia this village has no irrigation system to water its fields. farmers dug this hole to store water, but as you can see, it's quickly drying up. weather experts say it's the

worst drought to hit some provinces for more than 30 years. fixed it's bright red... >> they believe it is caused by el nino, referring to warmer than average temperatures in the pacific ocean, that affect weather patterns, including in the mekong region. >> the last few years have been bad. this one, when you look at how poor the vegetation is, and the satellite imagery - this is really bad. >> the government has been criticized for not doing enough to support farmers. they have deployed pumps to funnel waters to reservoirs. and to nearby vimages. officials admit that a long-term strategy is needed. >> translation: first, we need to build irrigation systems and manage the water supply. we need to have a lot of canals and ponds. especially during the dry

season. but these programs may come too late. she says her supply of rice will run out in less than four months. and then they'll have nothing to eat so is there any relief in sight for the people of cambodia? >> it's a difficult one with drought, because draught takes many forms, agricultural draught may not be the same as meteorological. with the issues of water, changing of crops and so on. it's easy for me to say it's due to the developing el nino if that's the case how do i explain the case affecting vietnam and cambodia's neighbour. it's difficult. i'd like to come up with the answers. looking at the forecast in the next 10 days hit and miss. it makes it unlikely to remain

small. no sign of an improvement at the moment. torrential rain is on the cards in the coming days and flooding is likely. that's the case across two big areas, that's the main one. the one in the west gives huge amounts of rain. 400mm plus. but that is weakening. it will be a main feature. we've had an awful lot of rain scores are better as a result of the flooding. the situation for pakistan may get worse before they get better. in the coming days, it's around the eastern dates, bangladesh and let's not forget myanmar, where we could see up to 500mm of rain falling more to come on the programme - including protecting

the biggest of the big cats chaos in the streets, i'm adam raney in el salvador where gangs killed more than half-a-dozen bus drivers, disrupting transport and spreading fear. >> now, protecting the biggest of the big cats. tigers are stripped of their habitats. plus... >> welcome to death valley. it's given that name because it's considered one of the hottest places anywhere on the planet. runners from 24 countries came here to take part in what is considered the most difficult race anywhere in the world. >> i'm gabriel elizonda in california - that story coming up. up.

hello again, i'm martine dennis, these are the top stories in al jazeera. pakistani police stay they shot dead the leader of the banned group lashkar-e-jhangvi, which carried out attacks on shia muslims. malik ishaq faced several murder trials but was acquitted because witnesses refused to testify nigeria's rintly ected president is on his way -- recently elected president about muhammadu buhari is on his way to cameroon for talks jets have targeted p.k.k. fighters inside turkey.

nato backs turkey's fight against i.s.i.l. but urged it m not to abandon the peace process against the kurds. >> rebels in neighbouring syria say they have gained ground in the north. they are claiming to have captured several villages checkpoints and properties from the syrian government. this report from the fighting in the countryside around idlib syrian army soldiers held on to this village for years, and lost it and others. to a group called the fatah army. it's part of a loose coalition of rebel groups fighting side by side to topple the syrian government. >> translation: we started using heavy artillery against the hills and villages and controlled the hills. we control the villages. >> reporter: rebels are keen to

exhibit the losses suffered by the other side the syrian army. with limited access to the syrian army the fighters are controlling much of what we know. they are framing this as a major gain, which would allow them to reach president bashar al-assad's stronghold in the north. they say it is the gate way to latakia. a sad anassessment roll homeland. >> they are now in clashes with the regime forces in the vicinity. with the support of allah, we will be in their strongholds on the syrian coast. >> if they do make it that far, it's unclear who they'll find. after four years of war millions of syrians fled the fighting. what is hard to say is how many if any, government soldiers remain in the region and to what extent they are fighting back. fighters control a large part of

northern syria, it's called the battle of victory. in this drawn out conflict victory is hard to define all right, let's go back to the story of muhammadu buhari visiting cameroon. obviously they'll talk about the ongoing fight against boko haram. now, in march last year cameroon deployed around 1,000 soldiers to its border with nigeria after numerous attacks on its soil that were blamed on boko haram. two months later the armed group hit back attacking villages kidnapping people in the northern part of cameroon. february this year cameroon joined chad, niger as part of a force against boko haram the government announced it would send 2,000 more soldiers. we can speak to the research are

for the international crime in africa programme. we see paul pooer. they say we are doing our bit, we have done enough haven't we. if there's any importance attached to the trip which is part of the diplomatic tour or religion creating that alliance against boko haram. it is discrete to cameroon. if you look at the history of boko haram, cameroon has been at the origin even though it is fairly recently that boko haram attacked that country. in terms of any country contributing to the history of

boko haram in nigeria, it is cameroon. muhammadu buhari will look forward to a serious discussion with his counterpart in cameroon, in terms of how, where, what they need to do in order to really get to the crux of boko haram. without it it will be difficult for muhammadu buhari. so muhammadu buhari will be having a very tough discussion with his counterpart. on many fronts first it was a little disappointed that muhammadu buhari visited niger and chad living at cameroon. which thought it was one of the most important countries in the fight against boko haram. given the history of the group itself. so the two leaders will... >> i'm particularly interested in the fact that muhammadu buhari has not long come back from a state visit to requesting

a visit, and they apparently said no the u.s. what can he offer to paul booer to keep him on message, given he has not managed to come up with anything himself well he would need to convince them of the need for the force to be strong and also to be ready. for this fought -- force - they have ordered the deployment of 2,000 more troops. it makes many troops in cameroon that area of the north. again, it's more of diplomatic visit than anything to have the visit, she has more of the request and support.

so muhammadu buhari wants the region to be around him. he wants to head the region and meet them in terms of responses to boko haram. he will be the one to dictate the agenda that the countries have to discuss, particularly when it comes to the response to boko haram talking to us live from pretoria. thank you very much. always good to talk to you now to el salvador where bus drivers are walking off the job because of an escalation in gang violence. the drivers say it's far too dangerous to work. adam raney reports from el salvador. buses stopped, people crammed in trucks, and a morning commute disrupted out of fear. the gangs are there for all to see. they order the killing of bus drivers from prison cells,

bringing chaos to the streets. it seems there's little the government can do. >> reporter: it's a hardworking honest people that build the country who are the victims of these attacks. >> the gangs showed that they have the power, if they didn't, they couldn't have paralyzed transport. the government says the 18th street gang ordered the buses to stop running, or people would pay the price. pressure from the gangs to force negotiations for a truce as the government cracks down on them. more than half a doze in bus drivers have been murdered since sunday. some buses are going out on their route, but only with heavily protection. the drivers and their riders fear for their lives. >> this bus driver says he's afraid of being murdered, but work is scarce and he has to feed his family. >> the president dodged our question about who controls security - the government or the

gangs, and left it to his spokesman. >> it's not part of our strategy. we are not going to negotiate, communicate or make a pact with the criminal groups. it's terrorism, sabotage against the public transport system. it's not just bus drivers being targetted, this year dozens of police officers and members of judges' families have been killed. the government is facing a crisis worse than the still war. >> the government has to be humble to recognise what everyone sees in the open. >> what they have done, has not worked. >> reporter: a gang leader told al jazeera, the solution lies outside el salvador. >> the international community has to play an important role. in military conflict the international community can analysed for the best. we are caught up in national politics, and it blinds us to

reality. >> stranded amidst the violence, a population that knows the scale of the problem excavation of what could be a big mass grave starts on sunday. forensic experts are looking for the remains of as many as 300 people who disappeared during a crack oun down by left wing groups. we have this report from colombia. >> wednesday, workers will begin to clear out the first excavation site ridding it of overground crass and plants. heavy machinery then will be able to move in and digging up years of construction waste. finally, once they reach the national soil it will be the time for the forensic teams to move in and do manual work looking for the bodies or the

remains. nonetheless, this will be a very difficult task because despite years of calls on part of relatives of the victims to shut down the landfill nothing has been done until now. >> reporter: we began reporting the disappearances in 2002. we tried to get the inter-american commission on human rights to intervene. no one listened. in part it had to do with the fact that high level officials from the columbian army were involved. relatives of the victims feel that this is a very important step to overcome the level of impunity, but it will take time operations just in this first plot of land will take up to 5 months. >> the largest member of the dat

family is in danger of it being wiped out. the largest of the family this to compete for space. it lost most of its habitat to cities and forming. there's more in captivity than the wimented. there was 100,000, but now there's around 3,000, and the population is dropping. tigers in the wild could be extinct in five years or left. which is why conservationists named july 29th international tigers day. we can speak to the environmental investigation agency in london. she's here to tell us more. it's not a matter of losing the habitat that is posing a threat to tiger populationing, is it? >> that's right. tigers are at great risk. an international tigers day is not only a day to celebrate the majesty of the world tiger, but

to reflect on the challenges ahead. there are some countries doing better than others for example, india, nepal and the far east. they are encouraging signs. in sharp contrast we see tiger populations, like china, vietnam, struggling to increase. in fact there are more tigers in captivity across china and south east asia many in tiger farms. and couldn't tigers in captivity be seen as a form of conservation? >> unfortunately, these tigers do not serve conservation purpose. they can never be returned to the wild. they are being farmed as an agribusiness, a commodity, and when they die or are slaughtered their body parts enter the trade. their skins are used as luxury home decor, and bones turned

into wine. this is nothing to do with conservation it's about profit. >> that is pretty grim. why do you think that the fate of the tiger seems to have gone pretty much not unnoticed as such but hasn't had the attention that the elephant has had. >> yes, the african elephant and rhino are facing a crisis and that is featuring highly on the international agenda. what the agency and colleagues around the world are saying don't forget about the tiger. that's why we are asking # where are the tigers. there are signs that tigers are encouragingly populations are stabilizing and increasing in certain countries, they need to do a lot more to end demand. while we have officers on the front line in india and nepal risking their lives working

towards zero poach of course we need chine an and layo end china farming and commit. >> thank you for talking to us. debbie banks from the environmental investigation agency talking to us from london well the hunter accused of killing cecil the lion in zimbabwe says he didn't think it was a tourist attraction which was protected. >> cecil was well-known and loved in zimbabwe and was lured out of the national park and shot with a cross bow. the injured lion was tracked for 40 hours before killed with a rifle. he was skinned and beheaded. a big game hunter walter farmer a u.s. dentist said he paid $50,000 to hunt lion. he says he ensured he had all the proper permits and that he regrets killing cecil

warren travis president of the born free foundation said lion numbers are falling. >> the news wires are buzzing with this story not because of the questionable legality of the killing of cecil lured out of the park as your report suggests, then killed - killed, shot but not killed, and followed up for 40 hours. imagine the suffering and dispatched. the piece of land that the lion was lured onto did not have a lions, and it would appear that both mr palmer and the two others involved will face criminal charges. the situation facing lions across africa is extremely dire. 30 years ago there were about 30,000, 80,000 lions, now there's 25 to 30,000, it's a decline, and trophy hunting is one of the causes of that decline.
