i have the sport including it's an emotional day for one australian golfer and the financifinal majors in the pga with a record-breaking score. ♪ the death toll from a syrian government strike on a marketplace in duma northeast of damascus has risen to more than 100, the worst single incidents of the war and humanitarian chief on a three-day visit to syria says he is horrified and the war has raged more than four years, almost a quarter of a million people have been killed including at last 70,000 civilians and another 30,000 people are missing, many of them are thought to be inside syrian jails. the u.n. says more than 12

million people in syria need some sort of humanitarian assistance including the basics of food and water and many of them around 7.5 million people have been displaced from their homes because of the fighting. and there are more than four million syrian refugees that fled to other countries to leave jordan, turkey and lebanon and dana is live now from beirut in neighboring lebanon and let's start talking about yet more strikes that we have seen in this area outside damascus. >> well, yes, according to the syrian observe forry for human rights there were strikes in the morning nr in doo may and the government seems to be concentrating the aerial campaign in this area which is in the damascus countryside, just a few kilometers from its seat of power, the capitol

damascus for the government it is important to protect the capitol, to defend the capitol and rebels as of late have been able to fire more than land in areas inside damascus so we are hearing of more air strikes and like you mentioned sunday's attack was the most deadliest incident in the course of the war. we are talking about more than 100 people killed and also heard from the u.n. humanitarian chief in syria and attacks coincided with his visit there and holding talks with syrian officials and also visited the battered city of homs and the u.n. has been ineffective in stopping the fighting and finding a diplomatic solution to the crisis and we hear from u.n. officials are just words of condemnati condemnation. the plane dropped the bomb in a crowded marketplace. it is an all-too familiar scene for the people of the rebel

stronghold of duma. this town is regularly targeted by syrian government air strikes but sunday's attack was the worst yet. civil defense workers and others gathered at the site of the explosion to help move the wounded when more air raids hit. more than 100 people were killed and dozens of others wounded. doctors at the field hospital struggled to help those who survived, many of them were critically injured. according to activists on the ground the victims were civilians, women and children were among them. the syrian observe called it an official massacre carried out deliberately and did not mention the attack on duma but a military force said they carried out strikes in doo may and targeted the headquarters of the rebel group the islam army. a day earlier the group had announced a new offensive

against government forces and captured an army base. [gunfi [gunfire] fighting has escalated in resent days and duma has been out of government control for years but the military still controls the skies and civilians more often than not have been targeted. and like duma is at the doorsteps of the government's seat of power, that is why sunday's attacks are being seen as a message to the people in the area, the government will consider them responsible for the actions of the opposition. steven o'brien the humanitarian visit has brought little to no relief at all for syrian citize citizens. >> no, and the u.n. really like i mentioned earlier has been ineffective to find a political solution to this crisis and we know russia and iran are pushing forward with the presenting proposals to try to find a

peaceful settlement to this conflict and have not made much progress. what russia is trying to do is broaden the international coalition against i.s.i.l. to include the syrian government in one way or another. actually they are trying to legitimize the syrian government and this has been rejected by the opposition as well as the regular backers. and iran is also presenting a four point peace plan that has been rejected and calls for a ceasefire, forming a national unity government and holding elections under international supervision and amending the constitution and both proposals that are presented by the syrian government's main allies there is no mention of the future of the syrian president bashar al-assad and that has been the sticking point from the start. and the very fact that the opposition does not want to start talks until they know what the fate of the bashar al-assad is means there is no progress on the diplomatic front and a surge in violence on the ground and

there are those who believe maybe we will see even more fighting or more military operations in the coming days because they feel maybe they can make gains, political gains by gaining the upper hand on the ground. so the u.n. is unable to do much diplomatic offensive let's say on the part of russia and iran and not making any progress at all. >> dana is live from beirut and thanks for the update dana. egypt's president has a new law with special courts and harsh penalties for those who are seen as a threat and gives security forces more protection and gerald tan has the details. >> reporter: it was last month at the funeral of egypt's prosecutor who was assassinated that the president made a stern promise. >> translator: the hands of justice are chained bylaws, we will not wait. we will change laws to allow us to implement law and justice as

soon as possible. >> reporter: that promise has now turned into a piece of legislation that broadly defines the public order as terrorism and punishes them accordingly. those found guilty of leading the group the government considers a terrorist entity are punishable by death or in prison and financing the group carries a life sentence which is 25 years in egypt and the law has protection to the military and police and using force acting in the name of the law and can contradict the version of the attack and some egyptians are concerned. >> a system that is not protecting the citizens but protecting the states and this is indicative of a larger part of this and there is not a check on power and his avenues of

dissemination of force. announcer: egypt's military is engaged in an opposition in the sinai peninsula and carrying out attacks on security installations killing soldiers and police and increasingly beyond sinai and the capitol of cairo and some are asking if the new security laws are just targeting these groups or anyone opposed to the government. gerald tan, al jazeera. iraq's former president could be put on trial over the mosul, iraq city taken by i.s.i.l. in june last year. and senior army officers could face court marshal after parliament voted to refer a report to the public prosecutor. number of people displaced by the people in iraq is now more than three million and the humanitarian crisis threatening to claim yet another casualty children's education and we report from baghdad. >> reporter: in a climate that

makes concentrating near impossible and handbooks don't distract from the heat, these internally displaced iraqi students are doing their best to learn. >> translator: we used to live in our own neighborhoods and it was like heaven. we used to go to clean schools and these schools would have proper roofs but now we are studying here. >> reporter: while the boys here worry the world has forsaken them, they are determined not to give up on their education. according to unicef there are approximately 850,000 internally displaced school-aged children here in iraq, of that number 650,000 have missed at last a year worth of classes. that is why schools like this are so important now. he fled anbar province with his family when i.s.i.l. took it over in april. he is just one of the students who has been forced to miss

months of school. >> if we were back home i would wear a proper uniform to school. i wouldn't dress like this and we wouldn't be living now in tents. >> reporter: or studying in them either. teacher says the situation is even worse than it looks at the idp camp. >> translator: the most basic requirements for classes are not available. we have 90 students and three different classes and only 30 textbooks were distributed, how can you teach 90 students with 30 books? >> reporter: he tells me although 20 teachers should be working here now a lack of funding mean only five make it everyday. and his wife teaches english to another group of students in adjacent ten, she expresses even more concern. >> translator: we feel that this is a crime against those poor children. what did they do to deserve such harsh conditions?

they are a bit happier than before because they have a makeshift school to go to but they lack the basic requirement to teach properly. >> reporter: studying english the kids recite numbers written out for them on a white board propped up by cinder blocks. despite support from unicef and other aid groups 12-year-old mohamed says much, much more is needed. >> translator: it's very, very hard, the electricity comes then it goes and sometimes it doesn't come at all. >> reporter: outside the next class cues up. and tattered workbooks wither in the sun while mothers bake bread for an encampment where there is far too much hunger and the thirst for knowledge has not been quenchs.

returned to the ballot box voting in parliamentary election and the one who lost the presidential election in january is trying to make a come back and we have more. >> reporter: voters cued early to cast their ballots. in january they elected a new president and on monday they returned to vote for 225 members of parliament. >> it's my duty to cast my vote with the person who can guide the country and the people of this country. >> translator: this election is important for the cotry in every aspect. i think people have used their brains and they will vote wisely. >> reporter: voter identification at hand gathered at schools and temporals and security is tight at polling centers and this is as close as we can get to gauge what is going on and says the strict rules governing access to polling booths are to ensure that these elections are free

and fair. election observers including this person says this constituent say has more popularity because of the candidates and they are watching proceedings closely. >> translator: not far from here some offices of all major political parties are open and flying flags and have posters with them. apart from this we have not seen any other election violence or violations. >> reporter: the results of this election are not only expected to determine the political futures of a few sri-lanka poll 'tiss but also the direction of the country. al jazeera, sri-lanka. let's go live in the capitol columbo for us and polls are about to polls, have we seen a good turn out for this pretty significant election? >> there has been good voter

turnout and the morning was quite busy when doors opened at 7:00 in the morning. there was somewhat a dip in voters coming into the polls behind me. however, overall indications are that voter numbers of turnout is going to be in the region of 60, 65% or there about so this is sort of average voter turn out, not as high as the presidential election in january. however a large number. >> many thanks for that update from sri-lanka as polls close in parliamentary elections in a few minutes time. plenty more still to come here on this al jazeera news hour including displaced by civil war we meet a south sudan family praying for a peace deal with talks in ethiopia plus. >> stephanie decker on the indonesia island and i'll be telling you why this island is being destroyed and why these men are risking their lives and

guess what it's our obsession of gadgets like these that has something to do with it. finds out if andy murray can break an eight-match losing run against yanukovich and details coming up, in sports. ♪ hundreds of people in the chinese city have taken part in protests demanding compensation and answers from the government. the number of people killed in the blast has risen to 114 with 70 people still missing. and adrian brown has more. >> reporter: protesters who have been gathering outside the hotel where government officials were briefing the local and international media have not yet dispersed and still demanding a meeting with government officials. protesters here comprise relatives and family of those who are still missing as well as some of the 6,000 people made homeless as a result of

wednesday night's multiple explosions. some of them are carrying banners saying we support the party, we support the government but please buy back our homes, our homes are now worthless and we cannot live there any more. i spoke to one woman who returned from the united states to live with her father and she told me they had no idea the dangerous chemicals like sodium cyanide were being stored so close to people's homes. this is what she had to say. >> i can't believe it. i c't believe it. we just thought it was like a port. not chemical. nothing there. >> you had no idea. >> no idea and every one around there had no danger of chemicals there and it's just a port. >> reporter: demonstrations like the ones taking place here today are very rare in china, what is different this time or so is the fact that the authorities and police and soldiers who are here watching over the crowd have allowed us

to interview and film protesters and in the past they moved very quickly to shut down demonstrations like this with the media being round up and briefly detained. that has not happened. it's as if the authorities here have received orders from on high to try and show or at least give the illusion of transparency but it is a significant moment. for one thing the authorities will worry about is if these demonstrations were to grow in number and if the grief was to turn to more widespread anger. now, if you ever thought about the precious metals in your smartphone or laptop we don't tend to but some of them come from illegal mines in countries such as indonesia where minors towel in mud and sand. and stephanie decker says it's having a devastating effect on the environment and people. >> reporter: caked in sand it's almost as if they have become one with this pit. this is an illegal tin mind and

you can find them everywhere on the island and it's dangerous and average 70-100 minors die every year. >> translator: sometimes they are buried for days before we can recover the bodies. sometimes four to five people die in a landslide. if you dig like seven or eight meters then there is sand on us is much higher. >> reporter: this job is the best paid on the island and are willing to take that chance. young children often help their parents, some have died around these mine pits too. tin from here and the sister island ends up with companies such as apple, samsung and sony. it is used to make our phones and laptops work, one of your gadget possibly includes tin from here. illegal mining, is making more money than legitimate companies and the free-for-all means the island is being torn apart and don't get an idea of what it has

done to this island from the ground but take to the sky and the consequence of the world demand for tin becomes clear, the landscape scarred by abandon and active mines which are showing you a small part of it but it's like this across large parts of the island. >> translator: there are so many old mine pits, almost 20,000 and then they started mining the sea in 2006, so now we have noted we lost at least 75% of coral reef around the island. >> the low tide will visit the mines at sea. mining, in water is refuted to be more dangerous and here too the sand walls collapse and there is a difference, they cannot see it coming. >> translator: if you are asking whether it's worth the risk of life than no but what do we do, other jobs don't pay and with this job i can even save

some money. >> reporter: the divers can make three times the minimum wage but there is no compensation when something goes wrong and that is something the government is now highlighting, they want to legalize these mines and admit they are losing a lot of money because of them. >> translator: by legalizing the mines we can save money for the mine and for the environment then we can manage the money properly. >> reporter: but we are told and we have seen that little is being done by the government, the companies or the people to fix the land after the mines are abandon. the damage at sea could be even harder to fix. the tin will run out one day. the question is what will be left of this island to provide for its future generations? stephanie decker, banka island. time to get all the weather with rob and we are in this part of the world and we are used to being hot but not that hot. >> heat waves have been the thing and europe and u.s. and

india and pakistan but this part of the world, yes, i think most people would say 30 is high, that is okay, low 40s is pretty normal but these are figures and today's and 49 baghdad, 47 and hearing very little from any of the problems and usually dry heat and dry heat is the key but in egypt particularly down the nile it has been in the middle 40s and you think it's okay and cairo 38 and with the humidity it's not good and deaths in egypt from what is officially a heat wave at the moment and there are ways around it and as you are fit and healthy jumping in the fountain is a way of keeping cool but it's more problems than that and there are fact ersz in e ers in egypt and 38 here and doesn't seem hugely bad and as i said there are things to consider and any shade very often not, dehydration, if

you don't keep taking the fluids and sweating to cool down you do dehydrate and you don't want humid heat and that has been the case so far. and still high 40s, well above average and for some places too human, laura. >> not pleasant all all and rob thanks very much. south sudan president is in ethiop ethiopia for talks and east african nations have a deadline of monday for a peace deal or south sudan could face sanctions and we are live where the peace negotiations are set to be taking place and charles what are you hearing from them? >> reporter: well, laura, we spoke to representative of the regional block of eight countries that put the proposal fore ward a few minutes ago and

said the talks were ongoing and there was still optimism that some sort of deal could be hashed out inside today and concentrating on two things demilitarization of duba and the armed forces and know from speaking to south sudan is they had problems with the demilitarization of duma and police by a third force or ua or the unmiss or u.n. south sudan forces described as sovereignty issues in the past and note there are differences in terms of agreement on the timing of the unification of armed forces trying to bring some sort of unified military force together. as i say there is still time. there is still a degree of optimism so we are hearing that something could be signed today and as you reported the threat of sanctions over the head, a lot of international pressure to

get something signed here today. it's interesting that certainly speaking to analysts and question the effectiveness of sanctions if something wasn't signed here today, there has been talk of an arms embargo and speak to analysts and say there are a lot of weapons in south sudan and incredibly porous border saying it would be easy to get weapons in there. the fact remains that the latest u.n. figures say around 70% of the population of south sudan are in need of assistance and 2.2 million people have been reported and fled the fighting so in urgent need of something to be signed here and that is today. >> a lot of stake indeed and thanks very much. as those talks take place we go back home in south sudan and hoping for an end of two years now of fighting and conflict divided tribes across the country but as we report from a country that is displaced a few are learning to set aside their

differences. tucked behind a market in duba something more than these ramshackled something more is here than dirt and displaced people from south sudan's tribes are learning to live peacefully with one another again and although they come from different villages their journeys are similar. >> you find it's not one person who has lost but very many people who have lost. >> reporter: meet a mother of eight. she came from malakal one of the towns in south sudan decimated by fighting. she says the family had to abandon her 14-year-old son so they could save themselves. the last time she saw him he was walking into the bush to check on the family's cattle. >> translator: sometimes my heart tells me he is alive but sometimes i get depressed and think negative thoughts.

but lots of people told me other people faced a worse fate than you and stop thinking about it and leave it up to god. >> reporter: she and others like her at the camp are neighbors with people from tribes who are killing each other elsewhere in the country. in fact, in other camps for displaced people within u.n. compounds the tribes are segregated and tension is high. but here they are building a community on common ground of shared needs, fears and hopes. that is not to say members of different tribes don't fight but when they do each leader of the tribe gathers them together to mediate. >> later when we are able to solve soft this problem they can sit together and you find they are even good friends. >> reporter: the conflict began nearly two years ago as the dispute between the president and his vice president and people here say they are desperate for peace because peace means they can go home

again. but she says she doesn't want people to go back to the way they were living before the civil war. >> translator: what happened has happened. it's in the past. what we want is for peace to come. >> reporter: the end of the war could also mean she like so many mothers could finally find out what happened to her son. natasha, al jazeera, duba, south sudan. plenty more still to come here on al jazeera. growing discontent, tens of thousands take to the streets in brazil to protest against the president and another candidate throws his name in the ring with fifa and corruption is on the top of his to-do list coming up, with joe. ♪

and sri-lanka in parliamentary elections could see the former president make a come back and running for prime minister and has been nine years of president until his defeat in january this year. let's get more on our top stories the u.n. chief steven o'brien on a visit to syria and says attacks on people are unacceptable and must stop and we have an analyst joining us now from beirut and the duma air strike on single is one of the single bloody attack in the war and still being pounded today. why is this happening? >> hello, laura, first of all the attack that happened today on duma market on retaliation of take over on the technical take over of the syrian army that the islamic army was capable of seizing earlier and we saw how

the retaliation happened in duma, the very first day of monday where people already started their works during the market. first we had an initial air strike and then to be followed by several air strikes to target even those who are trying to remove the wounded. such activities are not the first to happen across the syrian country four years ago. such air strikes already happened but by using barrel bombs or targeted missiles to attack civilian population and this is as the organization is completely unacceptable and cannot continue as such. the more we are seeing there is potential compromise that could be reached across the syrian conflict and the more we are with the assad regime and showing fierce retaliation and attacks across the territories that they are still being capable of seizing or whether they are fighting on several

fronts in order to maintain such activities. precisely in duma because of strategic position and part of damascus and showing its fierce attack to target the rebels in those areas. >> you say it has been happening throughout the war and it probably will continue to happen. i mean, this strike took place even as the u.n. humanitarian chief was in the country talking to the foreign minister about how to alleviate foreign suffering and sames that the assad government has no regard at all for the u.n. or what anyone else thinks. >> again, this is not the first time that the assad regime is not listening to anyone with agencies or other humanitarian agencies. what they want is to maintain their survival and to maintain control of the areas that are still under their command. so they are truly not thinking about anything else but to destroy the opposition or to

feed the argument that the regime has been using since the beginning of the crisis that it is fighting terrorism by pushing people or surrendering areas like recently the area by surrendering it to the islamic state to push the international community to once again deal with regime to fight such a terrorist group that is declared and feared by the international community that is the islamic state. so no matter how the rebels will engage in negotiations like it happened here or reach a ceasefire or agencies operating on the ground this will not reach any positive and because there is a clear objective for the regime which is to target the opposition and destroy it and whether it's in civilian areas or in areas that are mainly controlled by the rebel and it's one single objective which is to destroy this.

>> let's leave it there but thank you very much for joining us there from beirut. russia's foreign minister says the conflict in syria must be solved by syrians themselves without foreign interference and sergei fedorov talked about it and strong allies of bashar al-assad. >> translator: the issues of overcoming the syrian crisis should be resolved and negotiated with the syrian government and the opposition which would represent the whole spectrum opponents of leadership, steps, reforms, decisions and negotiations should be taken based on mutual agreement of the government and its opponents. >> translator: we agreed on the principles and all problems should have political solutions. people in countries that are in crisis should solve their problems by themselves, nobody can solve their problems, the

job of other countries is only support and cooperation, iran and russia will work closely to solve the problems in libya, syria and lebanon and foreign interference is violating the sovereignty and integrity of the countries. >> joining us from moscow is a senior research for studies at the russian academy of sciences, a lot of talk there of syrians solving the crisis without outside interferences. who is this aimed at? >> well, actually i think that the position of russia is as it was before. there were previously the suggestions or rumors that some western countries are going to strike syria and they are intensifying the support for opposition forces. so i think that the outside

forces means those forces, external forces who are going to support extreme opposition who is fighting against the government of bashar al-assad. >> and russia making a big diplomatic push to resume peace talks, how successful has it been? >> well, i think that russia, well, and russia's foreign minister sat today at the press conference, the one he was mentioning about the problem of it should be by all national forces and think maybe there may be a certain plan on the table about how to solve this crisis diplomatically. and the problem and soon this plan will be publicized, i don't know actually but this plan is

presumed that all parties involved in this conflict and this severe conflict should be deciding or using the political means and should be negotiating the political settlement, political diplomatic settlement of this acute syrian crisis. >> talked about the iran nuclear deal that has been agreed to, how is moscow likely to benefit of the lifting of sanctions on iran. >> this is a good question actually and as it was said during the press conference by iranian foreign minister, russia is still has a monopoly in the cooperation with islamic of iran and the nuclear field because russia is going to construct two more atomic power stations and russia also is going to according to the joint plan of action or nuclear deal russia is

going to convert the facility from the so called military use to the production of i sotopes for medal uses so i think the main advantage for russia is that while the sanctions are still on iran and iran is not inviting any other nuclear suppliers, russia has a monopoly for us to fall in the nuclear sphere and russia would be negotiating in constructing more nuclear power stations in the near future. >> very interesting to speak to you and thanks for joining us from moscow. the bodies of 49 migrants believed to have sophisticated in the holes of a fishing boat in the mediterranean brought to shore and thought they died after they inhaled fuel saturday and survivors also brought to

and they are making their voices heard many more people were on the beach and shared the same discontent and do not agree with impeachment. >> there has always been corruption in the country and not demonstrating against corruption, they are demonstrating against a party, you know, against the government and the solution is if we have and if it doesn't exist all the problems in brazil are solved. >> reporter: many fear that those calls to ousted president will only lead to more instability but no more they say it's not enough to impeach a president in the country and would require some sort of legal role doing on their behalf during her presidency and so far none of the ongoing investigation have implicated

her in the many corruption scandals that are plaguing this country. still, it won't be easy for rouseff and in the coming days she will have to past measures and won't help her when it comes to popular support. bad weather suspended attempts to reach a plane, the airplane with 54 people on board lost contract with air traffic control half hour after taking off and it was going 280 kilometers south. australia's cafe siege has authorities and common wealth faired to share information on the gunman's bail hearings three separate time and on bail for sexual assault and accessory to murder when he took hostages in the sidney cafe last year and were not aware he was on bail
