mh 370 found. part of the wing washed up on reunion is confirmed to be from the plane that went missing last year. an overcrowded fishing boat leaving libya capsizes leaving hundreds dead. sports news includes

building brazil. the ioc boasts about olympic legacy. the first south american host. >> hello. our top story prosecutors in france have confirmed a wing found off an island in malaysia belongs to plaguesmalaysian airlines

flight 370. >> an international team of experts have conclusively confirmed that aircraft debris found on reunion island is indeed, from mh 370. >> the part washed up on the island of reunion in the indian ocean last week. in the expert's view we have made very strong presumptions that the flap found belonged

clearly to mh 370 for two reasons. boeing representatives confirmed that it came from a boeing triple 7. secondly, malaysian airlines communicated technical communications about the flight. we want them back. >> delivering on the wish to find the whole aircraft will be incredibly difficult. a six-week air and sea search found nothing and even if more parts wash up getting

definitive answers could be impossible. >> there's a bit of fungal

growth has been found showing it's been floating around in the sea. in the next few weeks, aviation paint experts will look at the paint on the actual aircraft. every airline paints their aircraft a separate way. they'll be able to tell very quickly whether or not this was a part from mh 370. we kind of have a nice sense of that being the case but there are other things to look at such as the damage around the actual flap. you know how did it shear off the aircraft giving a clue about the angle and the speed. >> would they also be looking for traces on the debris of any damage that might have occurred while the aircraft was still flying perhaps some sort of explosion or a fire? >> there should be some indication. the analysis will be full of errors with a lot of

assumptions. it's looking like the aircraft was intact before it hit the ocean's surface, as if it broke up as it hit the ocean surface. >> how important is it to find the black box to ultimately discover what went wrong? >> there's almost no way that we can work out the cause without the black box or the voice recorder in the cockpit. ideally both. that is really crucial. >> the location of this bit of debris will perhaps narrow the search area in a way? >> it's very difficult. the aircraft is somewhere in the ocean and this will not help us find the exact position.

>> even the smallest thing such as the remains of a mobile phone washing up could provide real clues. perhaps a passenger took pictures at the very last moment or video which could give us the best idea of what happened if we can't find the flight deck recorder or black box. >> thank you. good to get your thoughts. moving to our other top story. search and rescue crews have saved more than 400 people off the coast of libya after a fishing vessel overturned. 25 bodies have been recovered so far. crew on board a doctor's without borders collected many from the water including this man who required urgent medical

attention. >> anybody here? leg wound. two inches short. >> among those rescued was also this palestinian couple and their 1-year-old daughter azil. the operation is still continuing. let's get more on this now from malta. what do we know about the search and rescue mission and the loss of life? >>reporter: well the rescue mission is somehow reduced in its in scale due to the fact that it's night fall. a number of helicopters are using sophisticated night vision allowing rescuers to identify people at sea through the infrared system.

-- however a number of them were trapped inside the hose.

a number of bodies have been taken safe aboard the ships deployed to the area. this is an incident which has happened once again in the mediterranean and the rescue operation has to continue first thing in the morning at first light. >> thank you very much. the head of programs at doctors without borders says this is not the last time their help will be needed. >> over the drivers of this

problem are still present. there's no political solutions to these ongoing crises in the world so it's not a search and rescue operation. it's a channel for them to access refuge that doesn't entail risking life and limb.

i recognize the israeli prime minister has his beliefs but i believe he's wrong. >> the president says without this deal it could push for war in iran warning the u.s. would be the only ones isolated. >> we'd have to cut off countries like china from the american financial system and they happen to be major purchasers of our debt, such actions could trigger severe disruptions in our own economy

and raise questions internationally about the dollar's role in the world currency. >> the obama administration briefed the senate behind closed doors but didn't change the mind of a key critic. >> i would say most members left here with greater concerns about the inspection regime than they came in with. >> the key to getting congressional support is convincing the majority of their voters that they need to make their voices heard. it could tip the balance. the students we spoke to all said he convinced them but he has to do more than that. he needs them to act >> there's a facebook actually for america that's against the iran deal. >> i probably won't go out and do something with my congressman. >> i will definitely send a small email to my congress person. >> both leaders know they're

going to win. that is going to have to change and in their favor. al jazeera washington. >> the united states has carried out its first air strike against isil in northern syria with aircraft based in turkey. the strike was carried out by an unmanned drone but details have not been released of the target or exact location. turkey granted the u.s. access to bases along its border after a suicide attack last month. turkey plans to create an isil-free buffer zone across syria. >> moving to iraq now. seven people have been killed after a mini bus loaded with explosives detonated in a crowded baghdad street in sadhr city. the bomb was detonated near the

district government office. no one has claimed responsibility for the attack. >> there is much more to come. protests in jordon against the possible closure of schools that could affect half a million palestinian refugee children also queues across london as underground train drivers strike for the second time in a month. >> al jazeera has the latest. >>reporter: it happened in the dead of night when many passengers were sleeping. several carriages derailed here

followed by more from another train coming from the opposite direction a few minutes later. survivors said it could have been worse. >> the area was filled with water. suddenly we could hear another train coming. passengers started to run and somehow we managed to escape from the train. >>reporter: the first rescue teams had to arrive by special trains as the roads to remote areas were washed away. managers say many trains use the line. the previous one was just ten minutes before the first derailment. >> in ten minutes' time suddenly the flash flood washed away a portion beneath the track. >>reporter: the injured were taken to government and private hospitals. the government has offered about

$3,000 compensation to families of the dead and 4 to $800 to the injured. but critics condemn the government for handing out money saying it should be prepared for heavy monsoon rains that happen every year. it suffers regular accidents every year and has a notoriously bad safety record. this double derailment is further proof improvements need to be made soon or further tragedies are inevitable critics say despite the war in afghanistan ending six months ago, afghan forces are struggling to stamp out the conflict for good. civilian casualties in the first half of this year reached a record high. the number of deaths fell slightly compared to last year but the number of injuries has

jumped. almost 5,000 afghans have been killed or injured in the first part of this year. 23% more women and 13% were children were hurt last year. >>reporter: he says his days are full of suffering now. his only son was killed by the blast wave of a nearby suicide bomb attack. >> he was a good smart, and brave boy. he told me all the time he wanted to be a lawyer. >>reporter: the attack that killed him was on the main road to kabul airport. the target was a military convoy of foreign soldiers but afghan civilians were injured and died. >> when these attacks happen

the poor people suffer because in every suicide attack many die and many are injured. it's all civilians, poor people like me working for their families. >>reporter: civilian casualties are at a record high this year. >> this destruction and damage to afghan lives must be met by a new commitment by all parties to the conflict to protect civilians from harm. >> while antigovernment fighters including the taliban are responsible for 70% of all civilian casualties, the use of morters and other indirect fire by pro government forces killed

60% more civilians than last year. >> more than 5,000 have been killed in the first half of this year because of ground fighting planted and road side bombs, suicide attacks, and targeted killings. the u.n. is calling for a new commitment from all parties to protect protect them from harm. >> the afghan interior ministry says their priority is to protect the people but the taliban uses civilians as human fields. >> a suicide attack in front of a bank or field are signs of extreme violence against civilians. so that's very unfortunate that we still see those attacks by the taliban in the very

populated areas. they still discriminate the use of explosives. rocket attacks, mortars. anything that they can have in their hands. it's very unfortunate. at the same time we defuse lots of mines. in six months we were able to defuse more than 6,000 mines across the country planted by the taliban in villages the roads, and everywhere. so we're saving lives and we're trying our best to save lives. we're going to keep pressure on the enemy and wish for an end to this conflict. the peace process will continue and we hope that these taliban join the peace process pakistan has approved military courts with the power to hand down death sentences to

civilian. it comes after a taliban gunman massacred children in a school last year. two members of india's border security force have been killed in an attack by pakistani militants. one of the gunmen was captured. there's been no comment from pakistan's government at least 90 people have now died after multiple land slides were triggered by heavy rain in nepal. rescuers are still searching for missing people. >>reporter: an entire village

was swept away by rain killing at least 28 people. a week on the smell of rotting animals is still heavy. every year monsoon season in nepal brings such tragedies. just this year more than 90 people have died and more are missing. villagers here say they've never seen such a disaster before but studies from back in 1995 shows that the soil over here is very loose and this area of nepal gets the highest amount of rain increasing the risk of landslides. people here have been told they should move but they have nowhere to go. monsoon is not over yet and

many people say that had there been an early-warning system this tragedy could have been prevented france has reimbursed russia after an order of warshiped s. they canceled it over the conflict in the ukraine and russia's part in it. there's chaos caused to commuters in london due to an underground strike. >>reporter: the strike starting wednesday is not the first time the current dispute has closed london's underground stations. less than a month ago, there was

a 24-hour stoppage and traffic was almost at a stand still with many walking long distances to get to work. many are wondering why london seems to grind to a halt at times like this. >> one of the hidden problems of london is that most of the streets are ones inherited from history. there are very view big, wide avenues in other big cities. as a result, the capacity of buses and cars making up for the closed underground is very limited. >>reporter: and that means scenes like this. commuters waiting hours to get onto a bus. of course this has an economic effect particularly in terms of lost business for central london service industries. last year the chamber of commerce said $75 million a day

was lost due to tube strikes. perhaps the greatest impact though is to those who use the underground every day to get around. >> i have to pick up my son now and it's very hard to get home. >> i'm not able to get to work tomorrow so i've had to make other arrangements and take my work home with me. >> i've been on strike before i'm a teacher, so yes, it's inconvenient, but that's the point of a strike. >>reporter: the union says the pay now is less damaging to the public than rushing through par poorly-planned night shifts. >> they're asking people to cover more nights and weekends and people are just not having it. >>reporter: nobody for transport for london was available for

comment. tfl has apologized for the disruption but this might not be the last time chaos is caused across the capital. >> more to come laborers farmers in nigeria hit hard by boko haram's reign there. also why london is suddenly much closer to a beach. we'll have details in sports.

>> what did you see when you went outside last year? >> there was a dead body in the middle of the street... for 5 hours. >> there's a lot of work to be done. >> they need to quite talking about what should be done and do it. >> there's clearly an issue and we have to focus on how we bridge that. >> a lot of innocent lives are still being lost.

>> there's a line of police advancing toward the crowd here. >> ferguson: city under siege. >> it isn't easy to talk openly on this base. >> and america's war workers. >> it's human trafficking. >> watch these and other episodes online now at aljazeera.com/faultlines.

the u.n. agency is warning that unless it receives more than $100 million in the next couple of weeks, it won't be able to start the school year as normal. 225 students in gaza where it runs 245 schools. in the west bank 99 schools are likely to remain closed. in lebanon, 32 schools may be closed. and in jordon 172 schools have been run teaching 100,000

palestinian refugees. >>reporter: they came here to tell the world it's unacceptable to forget the plight of palestinian refugees. they are afraid their children will be refused the right to education. >> they say donors are no longer

interested in the rights of palestinian refugees. the state suspended funds for badly-needed services could cause the closing down of the entire operation. >>reporter: they're saying they can't afford to enroll tdaughters in private school and saying suspended services cannot come before ending the conflict. >> they cannot deprive us from learning. if they want to do that, return our villages in palestine to us. >>reporter: officials warn suspending services could also harm regional stability. >> palestinians value education

highly and more them education is a passport to dignity and we cannot deny that when terrorist groups are recruiting on the streets of the middle east. >>reporter: the u.n. general assembly has repeatedly renewed the mandate most recently until june 2017. some refugees fear extending the mandate beyond then will be pointless if the cuts to major services they provide were carried out now in japan, they are commemorating the 70th anniversary of the bombing of hiroshima. in an hour a moment of silent will be observed observing the moment the bomb was dropped. >>reporter: the decades -- over

the decades he's kept the most agonizing moments of his life locked inside but recently he's been letting it out. >> the baby's arms were extended like this. this baby for me represented the a-bomb. it seemed unscathed, as if someone had placed it there. such cruelty. >>reporter: on august 6th, 1945 a u.s. air force bomber took off from a pacific island carrying the first atomic bomb used on human beings. it was a strike that saved lives helping to end the world war forcing japan's surrender. for the people here it was

hell. 140,000 people died as a result of the blast by the end of the year. 100,000 died at the moment of the blast. >> looking back today, the reconstruction might seem to have happened quickly but for residents back then it took a long time. >>reporter: today few visible scars remain but hiroshima will always be affected. the second from the reflection of that blast wave as it ripped through the city. already the crew was aware of the destructive power unleashed and three days later another u.s. bomber would do it again over nagasaki. he rushed home from school right

after the blast and found his baby sister and brother had died. >> you see other people avoiding the dead so i said i'll do it. i went to collect them. i still remember a shock. >>reporter: this year the survivors' average age reached over 80 making sure their experiences don't die with them. this is what led to that fateful day. in december 1941, japan bombed

pearl harbor bringing the united states into world war ii. in 1942 the united states atomic program was already underway with aims to tackle nazi germany. just 21 days later, a u.s. b 29 bomber dropped an atomic bomb nicknamed little boy on hiroshima in japan. joining me now is a security program director at physicians for social responsibility. if you could just take us back

to what would have played out the day of hiroshima in the immediate aftermath of the bombing, the physical affects of what happened, the sheer impact of it on the human body. >> well thanks for having me on the show by the way. its blast burns and radiation. the radiation was a new affect that the world had not experienced before in war. so that's one of the new medical phenomenons that we've had to deal with with nuclear weapons. the weapon that destroyed hiroshima was around 15 kilatons. much larger weapons. these weapons are able to --

there is no medical response back then to a nuclear attack. most of the hospitals were destroyed, the medical personnel were killed. physicians for social responsibilities we have a motto which is prevention is the only cure. we have to stop this from ever happening again. >> how close are you from ever realizing that objective? >> we've made quite a bit of progress. we began in 1962 and after that tests were driven underground

and the world's arsenals have gone down significantly since 1962. the treaty has prevented the spread of nuclear weapons around the world. it's a great step forward and we're making sure that's approved by the united states congress. but there's a lot of work to be done. unfortunately, all of the nuclear arm nations including the u.k. are embarking on programs to modernize their nuclear nuclear weapons.

there's a plan to modernize the entire nuclear arsenal in the united states. so in some ways it seems we're moving backwards and we have a lot to do. >> sorry to jump in here but this modernization is seen as a crucial part of defense spending. to what extent would you concede the existence of nuclear weapons has perhaps prevented the further proliferation. we managed to strike a deal in the case of iran. >> the iran deal is a great step forward. however, i would say that it is a theory that nuclear weapons have prevents further large wars and it is only a theory. the nuclear weapons now have now

become more of a liability than an asset and there's the potential for the spread of nuclear materials and/or nuclear weapons in their entirety. the chances -- a lot of experts believe that the chances that another city will be destroyed have actually gone up since the end of the cold war. there's new nations with nuclear weapons and new possibilities for stealing nuclear materials. we have to get this under control. psr supports a ban on nuclear weapons because of their indiscriminate affect on civilians. >> very good to get your thoughts. thank you very much. >> thank you thousands of farmers are struggling to survive under the

threat from boko haram fighters. some land owners have been forced to become land laborers. the fighting is having a far-reaching impact. >>reporter: he is a farm hand. he earns less than $2 a day working on someone else's farm. >> before boko haram fighters overran his village, the former farmer used to farm 50 acres of his own. >> i was making enough for my family. look at me now. i'm just a laborer who doesn't make enough a day to feed their family. >>reporter: thousands of farming communities have been displaced by boko haram violence. farm lands idle income gone. at the market the supply chain

has been torn apart. this is one of the busiest markets in the northeast. it used to be much busier but years of boko haram violence have displaced thousands effectively cutting off most of the supplies. >>reporter: there are three factories creating oil. two are shut down and the third only operates occasionally. >> because of the situation in the northeast, it's seriously affecting our production. >>reporter: now with a few supplies, they're not enough to run the factories. the impact of this violence is becoming clear. >> the commercial activities --

investment on one hand which takes time to do. the investments are being destroyed. >> everyone here is hoping for a quick resolution to this conflict so that the long process of recovery can begin. for now, hope is what everyone in the region is hanging on to. a man wielding an hatchet has been killed in a tennessee cinema. police killed him as he was

attempting to leave through a rear door. a russian diver is missing after the coast. she's seen diving out fins 30 to 40 feet down off the coast of ibiza. she holds 41 world records and was a 23-time world champion in free driving online shopping has businesses looking at new ways to bring customer satisfaction. >>reporter: online shopping has a problem. shoppers find it hard to buy the right size and up to half of their purchases are returns causing sellers millions in

shipping costs and warehouse fees. >> the goal is to provide the community a reliable tool to give accurate and consistent size to the public. we feel it's very accurate and useful. >>reporter: companies like body me use simple and inexpensive motion-capture devices like those found in video gaming hardware. it is stored online and can be made available to online sellers suggesting the right size when you buy. it's still early days for the technology and some say it will only gain wider acceptance if it's integrated into your existing data. >> you can use it in your health

happen and then use it for other environments such as retail online or in store. there's lots of different ways that these types of technologies can start to connect together. >>reporter: it has caught the attention of high street tailors on seville row. >> this is just part of it because there's also the other part in the fit, the comfort. so it's going to be quite challenging to put them together but i think that's the way forward. >>reporter: the body scan can clearly help sellers sell you the right sized clothing but when it comes to bespoked tailors, not everyone is convinced. >> getting close to understanding and talking to people and understanding what

they actually want and i can't see how you can do that with a machine to be honest. >> tablets and smart phones are becoming increasingly used in our lives.

welcome back. now we have sport >> thank you very much. exactly one year to go until the 2016 olympics in rio and brazil will be the first south american nation to host the games. there's a lot of pressure on the athletes to success. they do not have a lot of success at the olympics winning only three golds in 2012. to improve its chances all around, the nation is approving $700 million to lead up to the games. we have heard from the mayor of

rio. >>reporter: the mayor just announced that everything is on schedule for the start of the olympic games a year from now. 90% is completed and will be completed on time and budget. 50% of financing of this is coming from private enterprise. of course an operation of this size is always going to present some problem. a great fear is the ocean being used in the outdoor aquatic events. they are checking on the preparation and monitoring. the great emphasis in the organization has been in the legacy projects what's going to be left behind after the olympic games are held. we're talking about transport projects, some of the venues

being turned into schools. something they're very proud of. organizers saying they've gone against the stereotype of rio not delivering on time and they've gone against that saying everything will be on time. >> london has turned its olympic park into a makeshift beach. britain used its platform to launch its olympic success raised in 2012 when they won 29 gold medals >> scientists are -- austrailian -- they have released a statement saying we

followed the same procedures as iaaf expert panelists and we were able to confidently exclude all other potential causes. we stand by the evaluations we submitted. the world athletic's governing body released a statement saying the reports are the result of -- a road rage incident in karachi. he was en route to the national e stadium where he was holding a bowling camp. he said shortly after the shooting a car hit his and when he asked the driver to pull over he stepped out and opened fire. >> i think this was road rage.

someone got angry england is expecting mark wood to be fit for their match against austrailian. they came to a final training session unscathed. with anderson unfit, foot is deemed fit for the latest battle in this unpredictable series. >> ray race from the nfl says he's a changed man and plans a comeback after being sacked for domestic violence.

domestic violence is a real issue in our country. look at my video if you've never seen it. i can understand why some would never forgive me and floyd mayweather has a chance for more boxing history in las vegas. if he wins his record of 49 wins will equal that of heavy weight rocky and claims this fight will be his last. and i don't believe him because i think if he wins that he'll have a 50th fight. >> right. he's had a good run as well. only so long you can do that job for. thank you very much. >> all right. stay with al jazeera.

we'll be back in a few moments' time.
