>> hello there, thanks for joining us on this news hour. i'm jonah hull, coming up. syrian government said it will attend talks. and a city receive is nominated for the nobel peace prize for opening its door to syria. breaking the yearlong siege to the city.
1:01 pm
and north korea threatens to retaliate as south korea holds it's biggest military drill yet. plus... another donald trump rally threatens to turn violent. >> syria's government confirmed it will take part to end the car in talks due to begin on monday. but they will wait only 24 hours for the opposition to turn up. and wa critical of the u.n. envoy who said that election also take place in 18 month's time. >> both sides say they're coming to geneva for the talks.
1:02 pm
he made it clear the role of president assad was not up for discussion. >> we are adamant on holding the integrity and sovereignty of syria as one state. at least this is what has been stated by the international document including those released in attempt to resolve the situation in syria. >> those comments have angered the opposition. the u.n. has made it clear there should be no pre-conditions for these talks. the u.n. special envoy in an interview with the al jazeera program, said that he hopes to get to the substantive issues on day one. >> we can say that when we start
1:03 pm
to talk in earnest, substantive talks on the 14th, we will be able to at least tell everyone this is happening. therefore, one is not enough and we need to push forward. and two, we can now concentrate on realizing that. a new governance to include something completely different in terms of what we're having at the moment. and second a new constitution, not the old approach, and three, new elections. the u.n. supervision. >> so the stage is set for an important day on monday. this round of talks, and they'll discuss the church issues of t--
1:04 pm
does the crunch issues. >> talking about elections is very premature now. the process is calling for a transition of power to transition of governing bodies. now this transition of governing body is going to organize and arrange for a new constitution and elections after 18 months. where we can establish a cease-fire and establish also the syrian people that they can come back and civilization for the situation on the ground. it is premature now for the elections. what we should talk about now is a transitioning governing body that will be agreed on this negotiation. and they will organization elections after 18 months. >> on the ground in syria government forces have attacked the city despite the temporary cease-fire in place.
1:05 pm
they're trying to advance on areas on opposition control in eastern guta. and there is violence in the syrian opposition in latest gain kia. and the syrian opposition for human rights have hit areas in hama province. this video posted is said to show the aftermath of those strikes. syrian rebel forces say they have shot done a government jet. the town of kilis has been nominated for the nobel peace prize. there are more refugees living there than there are local residents. they said that europe should look to the town as an example when it comes to dealing with the ongoing refugee crisis. from kilis we have this report. >> the hills over looking the turkish border you can see the
1:06 pm
sun. you can see the city of kilis has done to help outside of syria if the will is there. 995,000 who live there have been joined by 120,000 syrians, who they've refused to turn their back on. they have set up businesses and work with their hosts. just outside of the center these women were making firewood with their children. they've been here for four years. not an easy life, but said this woman, they've been welcomed. she has no intention of traveling across turkey and into greece that's likely because kilis has opened their front doors. they believe their efforts so deserving that even invited the european leader they admire the most germany's angela merkel, to come and visit. it's been standard for european commentators to write turkey off for its authoritarianism, but
1:07 pm
the contrast in the way turkey is managing the refugee crisis and the chaos in the european union could not be any greater. it's hard to think of a town or city that could be nominated for the nobel peace prize the way kilis has been. >> kilis today hosts more syrians than it's own populati population. they share their city, their streets and even their air with syrians. we believe the example of kilis should be an example for the e.u. and this is why we think kilis should be awarded the nobel peace prize. >> the huge resentment towards refugees, but not in kilis. there are complaints about human rights in turkey, but has an odd ring here. >> the first vothe first convoy
1:08 pm
hearing humanitarian supplies into yemen. the houthis who had the city under siege for almost a year has been obstructing humanitarian supplies to the area. they've been able to take control of key areas in the south and west. >> troops loyal to president abd rabbuh mansur hadi break through houthi lines, and break the siege in yemen's third largest city. now they can send in humanitarian aid and weapons into the port city of aden. it's a latest development to push for the capital of sanaa. >> the siege of taiz was broken. this is a big issue. the wheels have started to roll.
1:09 pm
it might seem slow but the efforts are huge. >> the fight control taiz is far from over. these are haughty fighters trying to hold ground. their strong hold in eastern taiz. but the gains made by governor forces the haughtie houthis remain defiant. >> they're invaders, we'll destroy them, and we'll win the fight. >> this is a funeral of houthi fighters killed trying to defend taiz. they're backed by those loyal to former president ali abdullah saleh, and the houthis hope to consolidate their grip on power. these are houthi fighters trying to repel a government offensive in the oil and gas-rich
1:10 pm
province. pro hadi fighters are trying to break down houthi strongholds in the east and south so that it can move north to capture the capital if. if they do that the houthis might lose the war. >> well, the war in yemen has been going on for nearly a well, and this year the u.n. warned that the humanitarian situation could get worse. nearly 2,800 civilians have been killed in the conflict, and more than 5,300 people have been injured. 2.4million people have been displaced by the war. and the u.n. said 21 million people, that's 82% of the population needs some kind of humanitarian aid. well, the u.s. coordinator said that an effective peace process is desperately needed in the country. >> in the area around taiz city,
1:11 pm
and 600,000 displaced people already in a population of 4 million who are very desperate needing humanitarian assistance. the situation aggravates the situation for the u.n. to deliver aid to these areas. people struggle on a daily life. and the war has brought an increase in all those vulnerabilities and increase in all the poverty, and the uncertainty that they have for the people. if you bring about peace process, you bring an end to the war, and you bring back an normal way of life again. >> joining us live from doha is a specialist in the conflict in yemen as well as a political analyst. thanks for joining us. as we heard in the report there, the fight for taiz is certainly not over yet, but would this represent a major break through for saudi-backed forces perhaps opening a pathway to the capital
1:12 pm
of sanaa? >> i think it's the end of the siege that has the area under tremendous military hardship for the residents. the road between aden and taiz is now open, and access t has improved. so in terms of humanitarian access or situation is certainly a huge gain. now, military wise i think the situation can still reverse. i think that they are determined to stay in taiz. it's the challenge now to maintain these gains and to
1:13 pm
establish security and order and governance in the city to prevent the chaotic situation that we've seen in aden. it's up to the yemeni government and they can if they have the political will. >> you think they can make that happen? you think they can provide the structures to avoid further violence in the city? because there are hundreds of thousands of people who have lived in appalling conditions who presumably now are hoping that their ordeal is now at an end. do you think the ordeal is effectively at an end for the people of taiz? >> no, i don't think it's an end. but i think this gain has provided a window of opportunity for humanitarian aid to come to the city before it was very difficult for humanitarian organizations to provide
1:14 pm
medicine, to provide food. to provide other aid items for the city. now with that obstacle is gone. but i think there is still a lot of humanitarian needs. there is still dire situation, and i think that needs to be addressed. >> do you think a measure of how strategically important this is for government forces is the fact that houthi representatives are currently in saudi arabia for talks, what do you make of those talks? are they looking for a way out, do you think? >> we have very little information about the intersection between the saudis and houthis on border issues. we don't know the nature of these talks. we don't know if there is any agreement, but to me it seems to be the sign of fatigue. it's a jeer and a half before
1:15 pm
the houthi's have started. they have lost a lot in terms of fighters. they've lost a lot of fighters. similarly, on the coalition side there has not been much gain since july of last year. we've been pretty much in a situation of political and military stale mates since last july. so perhaps there is a realization that it's time to give the talks a chance. i think the next few weeks will show if that's the case-- >> okay, joining us from doha. thank you. many thanks. sorry to cut you off there. the six-year-old sister of a boy killed in an israeli strike in gaza has also died from her injuries. she died in hospital after her home was hit by shrapnel on saturday. her ten-year-old brother also
1:16 pm
died in the blast. it comes after several rockets were fired from gaza into israel on friday night. the children's brother described the moment the shrapnel hit. >> who happens was we were sleeping in our house and suddenly there was a strike. the roof fell on us. my brother was winded and he died. may god have mercy on him. we called the ambulance and it arrived after two hours after we had already taken him to the hospital in a car. >> coming up this news hour. why hundreds of people are calling for the disqualification of peru's presidential frontrunner. plus, why people in nigeria are angry about a rise in their power bill.
1:17 pm
and in sport, maria sharapova, we'll hear from the wld number one in sport. another republican rally. another rally, rather, by presidential hopeful donald trump on saturday less than 24 hours after an event in chicago had to be canceled in an increasingly chaotic campaign. >> back on the campaign trail, but a moment of concern for the republican frontrunner. it appears that someone tried to get on stage. and donald trump is quickly surrounded by secret service. >> thank you for the warning. i was ready for him, but it's much easier. >> the latest event just hours after an event in chicago was
1:18 pm
canceled. >> tonight's rally will be postponed. >> after hundreds of protesters got into the hall as people began to file out several fights broke out. when the police cleared the alliance there wa--the hall, there was violence. >> mr. trump should get up and tell his morning to be nice. my people are nice, folks. they are nice. >> but his republican rivals condemning, and saying that trump was not blameless. >> political discourse should occur in this country without a threat of violence without hatred and rage directed at each other. >> donald trump has created a toxic environment and it allows his supporters and those who seek confrontation to come together in violence. there is no place for this. >> a protester was punched in the event. a 78-year-old attacker who is
1:19 pm
now being charged with assault fo, he was unrepent tonight. >> i'll knock the hell out of that big mouth. he deserved it. the next time we see him we might have to kill him. >> there are many who believe that trump has encouraged such behavior. >> who is protesting, anybody? oh, get out of here. >> i would like to punch him in the face, i tell you. i love the old days. you know what they used to do with old guys like that in a place like this? they would be carried out on a stretcher, folks. >> just knock the helicopter, helicopter--knock the hell--i promise, i'll pay for the fees. >> for ordinary candidates in previous elections all of this would be a problem. but donald trump is no ordinary candidate, this is no ordinary election. >> and alan fisher joins us live now from washington, d.c. allen, extraordinary scenes
1:20 pm
here. election campaign violence all laid at the feet of donald trump. some might have wilted. others might have apologized. trump seems to be reveling in all of this. >> there have been problems in campaign rallies in the past if you go back 50, i 50, 100 years , they happened but they were not covered the way they are here. donald trump and his events have led to these incidents, and he seems to have played them up rather than played them down. and the debate on thursday he was asked to condemn some of the assaults on people who were protesting. and now he was insisting that the protesters had started the battle. the secret service are now looking at the arrangements because of what happened in just the last couple of hours when someone tried to jump the
1:21 pm
barrier and get on stage. you can hear the secret service man say to go donald trump very quietly, let's wrap this up. there is a concern that these protests are going to continue, and as he continues on the campaign, that they'll get louder, bigger and brasher. >> alan, it's almost as if he has made an implantation, donald trump, that the rhetoric that leads to this kind of violence is good. the violence itself is good. as if it's a way of communicating with his electorate. >> well, you got to try to break it down. in that he beliefs there is widespread anger in the united states. he has stopped into that anger. he expresses it on stage. he talks about how people are anger at the politicians, at the way the economic system seems to be disadvantaging them and how things are not getting better. that rhetoric sometimes is very firing. people are listening to that, and they feel fired up. so when they see someone challenging their view, they will confront them, and often
1:22 pm
they don't know where the line is to stop that confrontation, and it leads to violence. will donald trump start to tone this down? well, throughout all of this campaign any time he has been called out on people saying that's wrong. he has gone over the line all he has done is double down, commit to what he has been doing and continue to do it. if you look at the polls there is no reason why he should change that tactic because he's doing very well in the republican race. the problem for them come in the general election. will ordinary americans, will people think that this is something that is acceptable in the political discourse in the united states? is someone donald trump someone they can they can vote for. that's something that donald trump will have to answer not in the general election but in the next few days and weeks. >> alan fisher watching the campaign for us. thanks, alan. venezuela has urged protest
1:23 pm

1:24 pm
she's a front runner but the critics say that the center right candidate shares the same hard line views as her father. >> she was complicit in a dictatorship in which women were sterilized and a series of crimes were committed in our country. >> keiko's father, alberto fujimori is in president for failing to put down a rebellion during his policy. >> her father's dictatorship has created a high opposition vote against what keiko fujimori represents. those people in the 90s, killing and murdering, want to return to power today. >> julio guzman has been blocked from running. peru's electoral council said that he can't stand because of a
1:25 pm
technicality. keiko fujimori is facing allegations that she handed out gifts during her election campaign, which she denies. fujimori, who lost her 11 run off, will continue. >> the threat from the south comes as the u.s. and south korea stage joint naval exercises as their biggest every. rob mcbride has more now. >> this is a show of force intended to impress. one of the set piece drills of these annual exercises involving thousands of these troops from south korea and the united states. and they come at a time of increased tensions on the korean peninsula. in response to these drills
1:26 pm
north korea threatened preemptive strikes. while it's leader was shown on state run media inspecting missile tests. far from provoking north korea, this show of force insures stability. >> at the end of the day we sincerely believe in peace through strength. it is in the strength of our alliance that we believe that we can deter and avoid war. >> north korea claims these exercises are a prelude to war, allowing south korea and it's ally, the united states, to build up forces ahead of an envision. that's always denied, but the u.s. contingent this year is the largest ever, doing little to ease the fears of the north. out at sea, a short ride offshore some of the vessels assemble for these war games. like this assault ship, carrying up to three thousand sailors

match against the alfa go program. even the creators were amazed by the result. >> to be honest we're a bit stunned and speechless. mr. lee put up a big fight, and mr. lee found some really amazing tactics to play in the territory and create a really huge fight. >> go is an ancient chinese game for two players by putting black and white stones on a 19 x 19 grid. sounds simple. but a go player has a choice of 200 moves compared to 20 moves in chess. and memory is important, and makes conquering go the programming everest.
1:43 pm
it allows t is allowed to crunch data after every move. the champion tried to put a brave face on it with the reassuring words for the rest of the human race. >> alfa go exhibited some weaknesses so i doubt whether it has the skills that can deliver a wider message to humans. i think lee is the one who lost today, not humanity. >> but with the final two games of the series still to be played, alfa go will only get better and cleverer. paul brennan, al jazeera. >> let's talk more about alfa go with technology journalist adrian mars who joins us in studio. this event has been described by anyone involved in it with some surprise, the grand master himself said that he felt almost
1:44 pm
powerless. the creators of the program were stunned and speechless. how big of a mark does this make on artificial intelligence technology? >> i don't think anybody in the artificial intelligence community thought it would happen this quickly. unlike chess, go is a really hard game to throw a computer at. there are more possible possible positions on the board, which means you can't, as you can with a chess game, which was cracked by a computer about ten years ago. with go you can't just sort of look 20 moves ahead and try all the likely possible likely moves. it's complex, it's a pattern exercise. it's looking at pattern and it's hard for the computer to solve.
1:45 pm
it would look at professional go games and look at winning positions and then it played against itself and worked out which strategies worked better for itself. it produced a staggering result. it will help the future of a.i. training the game is not really the goal. it's the idea is that this same sort of technology is applied to other plan-learning problems like driving cars, recognizing objects, robotics, perhaps it will make our lives easier, healthcare, things like that, financial advice. you could look at somebody's income and spending and available investments and what goes up, and what goes down and how to trade. these are all the same sort of problems. these are looking for patterns, and looking for things that humans might miss. >> it's said that the ultimate
1:46 pm
goal of the artificial intelligence is to create intelligence that is both reasoning and self learning. that boils down to the instinctive game of go. >> it is to understand how the human brain works. that's really the big barrier. we can build a computer that has a processing power of the human brain, but we've got to understand how the human brain is put together before we can make a computer deal with that. once we've got than, then the world changes, you have self aware complex machines. they have feelings, they can think like us. it's a bag of worms, and it means not only that, but the year or two years later there wilthey will be twice as powerful, and we'll be dealing a
1:47 pm
world where the artificial intelligence is twice that of ours. and it could lead to utopia or who controls the most battle box therefore controls the world. there are lots of interesting scenarios. we just don't know. >> a win for computer program and a loss for humans. >> or perhaps a gain. >> still ahead. trying to get rich in sudan, the new reality show encouraging startup businesses. in sport england looks to avenge wales as the two teams face each other in the six nations. v
