i'm richelle carey. the news continues next live from london. >> this is al jazeera. >> welcome to the program i'm david foster and this is al jazeera live from london. it is 6:00 p.m. here. it is 1800 gmt. wherefore you'rwherever you're e news hour. it's spread by mosquitos and linked to babies, with brain damage. zika virus. and delays of the syrian peace

talks over who should be on the guest list. refugees, to europe, officials say thens i athens ist doing n enough. o&m rowyn adams. mixed doubles, betting industry expert later in the program. health experts are warning that the zika virus which has been linked to babies born with brain damage is likely the spread to almost every country in the americas. the mosquito-borne disease which is native to africa has already been seen in 21 countries, since

it imported to bras, likely to reach all these other countries. the only exception, chile on the west coast of south america and canada in the north. they do not have the ides mosquito which carries the virus. the symptoms of zika includes fever, headache and babies born with unusually small heads, called microcephaly. christian lindmeier, from the world health organization, very good to have you on the program. this sounds like a health warning this you are taking very seriously. >> definitely something we have to take very seriously, we are not sure of the link.

the one hand, the zika viergs whicviruswhich is a very mild dd some people get no symptoms and on the other hand, in brazil there is an outbreak of microcephaly which is extremely concerning. in a country that normally experiences 160 cases a year, we now have 4,000 cases. this is something that needs to be deeply investigated to see where exactly the link is. because the interesting factors we have of zika and brazil and yes, microacceptly, we don't have microcephaly sensed in other countries which have experienced outbreaks of zika before. this is a very challenging question to see whether zika alone is caused by this, environmental factors to

herbicides, pesticides, to other infections to other diseases, other even vaccines sometimes. >> okay. >> so causes could be multi. >> they could befu could could . it is investigated now. i'll read this from the centers for disease control in united states, pregnant women in any trimester, should consider traveling to any countries that zika is going on. you are saying it could spread to all parts of the americas. as soon as the virus arrive there you should not get pregnant. >> the recommendations are for women who want to get pregnant or who are pregnant consult with your doctor and your national health authorities and for other individuals the best protection is the normal protections against any mosquito bite. like insect repel entlents and g

clothes and sleeping under a mosquito net. as long as we don't know what the causes are. >> the cdc says look it is trying to investigate this, you obviously are trying odo the same. what are you doing at the moment? >> it is a very difficult situation. because you have to see at the moment that a baby gets born, and then it is established obviously that microcephaly is the case, it's very difficult to go back what happened maybe nine months seven months eight months prior to that. so here we have a very complicated situation where it's now importantly for scientists to look into historic data which they don't even exactly know what to look for. that's the one situation. the other, we have seen for example twean a 2013 an outbrear zika in french polyniche ya.

polynearbpolynesia .similar to e syndrome. to look at the linkages is very important. laboratory tests have to be taken, mothers who live in the area should consult with their doctors. so a lot of studies should be done and a lot of looking into scientific data. >> thank you very much, christian lindmeier, world health organization. ending five year long war in syria stalled before they even began, they were pushed back after disagreements about who should take part. the u.n.'s envoy to syria says the talks will now begin on friday and could last months. our diplomatic editor james bays is in geneva, you have been talking to those involved in trying the pull all this

meeting me and my colleagues and those we will be assigning as facilitators or negotiators. you can have quite a bit of simultaneous meetings taking place. >> reporter: one of the most important places to look now david will be to riyadh in saudi arabia. because they feel they should be coming up with a list of the opposition. they came up with a list of many of the fighting groups in syria. those fighting groups now deciding whether they're going to come here. because mowrveg didn' moscow dit riyadh list. mr. de mistura decided there should be others coming here. will they come here? that's the big question and i think we'll find out the answer in the next 24 hours or so. >> thank you james. the european union's law enforcement agency has warned that i.s.i.l. is planning a large scale attack on europe.

europol's announcement showed a video of planning attacks. fpt francoifrench president fras hollande said he would continual air strikes against the group. we spoke to ann gudicelli, a security expert in europe who said the video didn't show anything useful. >> there is no interesting contents in regards to the investigation and the way they did it. some of the video before has shown what kind of equipment they had, and what -- again what kind of plan they have and surveillance is the location where the attacks have occurred. so really, it's just a message

mucof terror and a message to gt more recruitment, as well as threatening the european countries. >> coming up here on the al jazeera newshour. some jchts defy egyptians prote fifth anniversary of the revolution that ousted mubarak. number of states in that country to treble. we have for you the carolina panthers going head over heels to celebrate their team reaching the super bowl. ♪ >> european leaders have asked the eu's executive to prepare for extension of temporary border controls inside the

generation that galvanized crowds through social media and mobile phones. >> the youth were the leaders of what was happening. also we weren't into politics so we didn't care or know much about politics, who was right wing, who was left ring. we knew what was wrong and we should speak up and that's exactly what happened. >> reporter: it was a period of demanding political freedom. even walls became canvases. callings for an end of decades of tyranny and injustice. but in the 18 days it took to force hosne mubarak to step down, districter laws now restrict dissent and protest. many who became icons of the revolution are in exile or in jail. >> the sail tool that united us to topple dictators, eventually

osama ben javad, al jazeera. iran's president hassan rouhani is in italy on his first tour since the lifting of international sanction he this month. he's expected to sign off on a number of lucrative business deals, including a $2 billion contract with italian firm danielli. he clearly has his checkbook out but so have the countries that he's visiting. >> reporter: yes, it's really seen from an economic point of view, as pretty much a win-win situation. we have to remember david that iran has about $100 billion in frozen assets that have been held by the west during the sanctions. now those assets are being slowly released now so iran has money to spend. but iran is also looking for western investment as well,

western know-how and state-of-the-art equipment, particularly as you mentioned steel, oil and gas, also, aircraft. the iranian state carrier iran air has very old planes. all of these areas need upgrading and this is a real opportunity for western companies to get in there. >> do any of these countries in europe have any misgivings about what's happened or are they all very happy now to see iran back in the international club? >> there are obviously opportunities as we mentioned but there are also risks about doing business again in iran. notably yes the sanctions have been lifted but there are all the same this snap back mechanism which means if at any stage the intlcial monitors decidinternational monitorsdecin violations, those sanction he

can snap back again. they could find themselves really stuck if those sanctions come back into place. but for the most part particularly here in italy people have been saying to us, international relations experts, people familiar with italian economic involvement with iran, have been saying look, italy has been doing business with iran for such a long time that this sanctions period actually is quite a small period during that overlong, overall history of relations. for them it was going back to what was the status quo before this episode. >> changing times or is ayou say jacky perhaps not. jacky rowland there in rome. the taliban has been describing talks with the afghan gof as positive, after two days igovernment as positive, as a condition to rejoin the 15 years

a ceasefire was signed the next month but that fell apart within hours. in may of the same year the u.n. said more than a million people have been displaced by the fighting. the following february, elections due in june 2015 were cancelled because of the violence. the internationally arranged peace deal was signed between riek machar and salva kiir, now in doubt. anna cavelle, is in the capital of south sudan, juba. >> salva kiir signed this agreement under extreme international pressure. he made it clear that's why he was signing it, not because he approved its content. now the question that everybody's asking is, did

either side really have any intention of make peace? were they ready to form apeace agreement or was it simply outside pressure that caused them do so and therefore, can this one possibly hold? the head of the negotiating team who has been oversee these negotiations, the former president of botswana, he knew the creation of 28 states would be very, very disruptive to the process. he knew that it would undermine the progress that they had made. however he did say it as you to be implementanyway because they should absent in the spirit of the agreement if not letter. it does seem like the peace process has been put on hold for the time being and it may be necessary to go back to the negotiating table. >> save the children warns that europe iafrica is facing its lat
