can hear them. >> getting the story first-hand. >> they have travelled for weeks, sometimes months. >> what's your message then? >> we need help now. >> you're watching al jazeera america. >> hello there, and welcome to this news hour. nick clark in doha. coming up in the program. [ crying ] >> suicide-bombing leaves five people dead in istanbul less than a week after attackers killed 37 in the capital of ankara. >> shock and grief after passenger jet crashes in russia killing everybody on board. france seeks to fast track extradition that captured salah

abdeslam. and in cuba the communist island nation prepares to welcome the first u.s. president in almost 90 years. >> so a suicide-bomber has set off explosives on turkey's shopping street killing five people. it follows a bombing from just last weekend. first, we are brought up-to-date with exactly what has happened. >> another bomb goes off in turkey. this time in the heart of istanbul in the middle of the city wes busiest shopping district. it is an also a major tourist destination. istanbul's governor was at the scene shortly after the blast. >> a suicide-bomber blue himself

up in front of the district governorship building and killed three people and wounded 21 others. three of them were in critical condition. one of them has just decide in hospital. a detailed investigation is being carried out by our colleagues. >> paramedics were quick to arrive and took people to nearby hospitals. although no one has claimed responsibility government officials have launched it to the armed pkk, which has been at war with the turkish states. >> the pkk has announced that the parting will be spread all over turkey. if the southeast violence is not stopped. so they are vigilant enough against possible terrorist attacks in turkey all over the country. >> since talks between the

government and the pkk broke down in july of last year, there have been several bomb attacks across the country. three alone in the capital of ankara. in total they've killed 300 people. the most recent was less than a week ago. the pkk or kurdish freedom hooks, which is linked to the pkk, claimed responsibility for that attack, which also targeted a busy shopping street. days later germany announced it was closing its consulate in istanbul. the german consulate is just a few minutes walk away from the scene of saturday's bloom blast. turkey is one otour tourism is turkey's main source of revenue, at the moment this is safe but it will have to do a lot more to be safe from visitors.

>> well, we're standing by in istanbul. what is the latest? what's the update? >> the turkish prime minister was at the meeting with the minister here in istanbul, and we're expecting a statement after the meeting, but it didn't happen. and the prime minister's office said that they will make a written statement after--within th an hour about the meeting, but they didn't mention anything about the explosion to date. i would like to talk about the details of the nationals of the 36 injured people of today's explosion. turkish authorities say that six of the injured is israeli

nationals, two of them from ireland, one from germany, one from iran and one united emirates. and 300 people who have lost their lives in the explosion are holding israeli passports, too. >> thanks very much, indeed. reporting there from istanbul. let's now look at more detail at the other recent attacks that have put turkey on edge. in january, a blast in istanbul killed 12 german tourists. last month, 29 people were killed when a car bomb exploded in ankara, and then last sunday less than a week ago 37 people were killed when a car bomb once again struck a busy part of the capital. well, let's now go to where laurence lee is, and get the view there from southeastern turkey. >> certainly the authorities in places like istanbul and ankara

had been extremely concerned that the pkk, the kurdistan workers' party might use the kurdish new year sunday into monday as an excuse to launch attacks on turkish citizens. even in istanbul they have announced before the suicide-bomb that there would be no new celebrations and it was effectively banned. even though the authorities failed to accurately predict this suicide attack the idea that it might an reason was obviously there. here in the south, the authorities have said that they would allow them to go ahead and announced because of the security concerns they were telling people that they would have to go to a field way outside of the edge of town in order to hold their celebrations. the same air of violence is certainly very evident here. friday the police discovered a car ladened with 150 kilograms

of explosives outside of the governor's office. if that had gone off that would have caused carnage. they have already killed 300 pkk fighters as well as 20 more turkey policemen being killed and many families have been displaced because their homes have been ruined. very much the sense on the kurdish civilians feeling under threat by the turkish military and increasingly they're under threat by the pkk. >> moving on investigators are trying to work out what caused a passenger jet to kill everybody on board. it was operated by the uae carrier flight dubai missed the runway in southern russia early on friday morning. from moscow we have this report. >> it was making a second attempt to land in bad weather

when it crashed and burned into flames. it took off from dubai on friday evening bound for southern russia. it made one failed attempt to land as it's scheduled arrival time. then the plane circled the airport for more than two hours. russian investigators say that there were strong gusting winds at the time peaking at the speed of 19 meters per second. while in a midair holding pattern over the airport, another russian airliner attempted to land three times before diverting to the nearby airport about 300 kilometers away. it's not clear why the dubai pilot did not choose to change course but instead went to fatal descent. the aircraft crashed off the runaway. this shows a large explosion.

it's not clear if the tail of the plane was clipped in the failed landing attempt or it went at high speed into the ground. the impact causes the plane to break across small pieces across a large area. is here that investigator investigators discovered the black boxes. the fly is a low-cost ai carrier, it has a strong safety record, and it's staff are in shock we're working closely with authorities to establish precisely what happened. we're making every effort to care for those effected and will provide assistance to families and friends of those who were on

board. >> russia's investigative committee said that it's looking into two possibilities, pilot error or technical failure as the most likely causes for the crash. terrorists have been ruled out. now that both the recorders were found, investigators will try to find out what happened in those last moments. they'll try to find why the pilot took that decision. it will take a month if not more for the full picture to emerge. but it's one that families and friends of the victims would want to know sooner rather than later. al jazeera, moscow. >> france is starting the process of extraditing it's wanted man over last november attacks in paris. salah abdeslam was wounded when arrested. emma hayward has this recor

report. >> salah abdeslam left the hospital in a police convoy driven away to be questioned and eventually extradited to france. europe's most wanted man was arrested on friday in a raid in a neighborhood of brussels. gunfire had rocked the street before abdeslam was dragged out and then bundled into a police car. after four months on the run the 26-year-old accused of involvement in the paris attacks was finally cornered. >> i can tell you that he's cooperating with the belgium police. france is requesting his extradition. he'll be sent to prison. there will be a second interrogation about the arrest warrant and the extradition. >> his fingerprints had been found at an apartment raided on tuesday. it's thought that along with a mobile phone call had led police

to him. >> we realized that yesterday we might have won an born battle for democracy, freedom, respect, tolerance, values, and probably for justice. but we realize that we have not won the war. we know very well there is still a lot more work to do. >> belgium has warned those that it could take search weeks to extra died salah abdeslam a french national. 130 people were killed in paris in november when attackers linked to isil stormed cafes, a rock concert and a stadium. abdeslam's brother blew himself up and salah abdeslam was driven back to brussels hours later. in paris ministers have been holding an emergency security meeting. >> currently under arrest with four other individuals, salah abdeslam will have to answer for his actions at a french court.

seeking for justice is what the families of the victims are demanding. this is an important blow against daesh in europe. this week's operations have put out of action many individuals who have demonstrated extreme dangerness and their total determination. >> salah abdeslam's arrest brings to an end a four-month search for him. >> let's go to jacky rowland who is in brussels where the arrest of aslah abdeslam took place. jackie, now we have charges. tell us more about that. >> we've been hearing from the belgium prosecutor.

there are two legal tracks going on here. there is a legal track in belgium because it was here that he was apprehended. and it's clear from the investigation in the last four months that there was an important role, a planning logistical roll carried out here in brussels. we know the number of attackers lived here. so clearly the we jim judicial system feels that there are charges connected to belgium, but from the french point of view this is a crime, the main crime, this was a crime that was committed in french jurisdiction. and while they acknowledge that there is are formality to be complied with, in order to

question him and put him on trial, something that is very much wanted by families of the victims, and, indeed, in a couple of hours' time we're expecting to hear from the french prosecutor, and we may get more details from him about how the french legal side of things are proceeding. >> jacky, thank you very much, indeed, jacky rowland reporting there. much more coming up, including another twist in the political crisis gripping brazil someon brazil. and in sport luis hamilton gets the season off to a positive start. >> at least 39 people have been killed and many more injured after a series of airstrikes in

the northern city of raqqa. that's according to the monitoring group observatory for human rights. it is unclear who is responsible for the strikes on the isil stronghold. u.s. secretary of state will visit russia next week for two days of talks. john kerry will have arrived in moscow on wednesday. they say the main focus of the trip is to discuss how to resolve the syrian conflict. russia said that it hopes that the visit will contribute to the normalization of relations with the united states. >> 17-year-old palestinian has been shot dead by israeli forces in the west bank. the palestinian ministry of health say that the victim was killed in a mosque in hebron. the man tried to stab an israeli soldier. there have been continuing violence since october. 204 palestinians and 29 israelis have been killed. a dark day for humanity.

that's how they've described the reducing refugee coming to europe. those who do not qualified for asylum will be sent back to turkey. neave barker from bruce else. >> it's a deal that will effect the lives of hundreds of stranded refugees and migrants. a game changer that shakes the very foundation of the european union. turkey has agreed to pay a crucial part in stemming the flow of refugees in europe. >> turkey will be getting all those who are crossing to agent island illegally. but meanwhile they will receive european the same number of legal migrants from turkey. so this very fair and encouraging steps for refugees as well, knows who are looking

for their futures. >> the reality is complex. it can work only if implemented. >> in return turkey has asked the e.u. to double the amount of aid to $6.7 billion. it wants free travel for its citizens to the e.u. this could happen as early as june. the agreement will come in force on sunday. all refugees arriving in the e.u. after that will be processed and returned to turkey. under the agreement as many as 72,000 refugees could be eligible for resettlement in the e.u. but now there are concerns that there could be a southern certainly of people trying to reach the e.u. they worry about the legality of the deal.

there is some discomfort about returning refugees back to a country that they say has questionable attitude towards civil liberties and human rights. >> they will violate human rights and international treaty human rights. i think from a moral and political perspective, you cannot exchange money with people. to control the refugee flows without providing proper training and access for the labor market, it would be nothing. >> the e.u. needs turkey on side. and it knows it has a powerful role to play. neave barker, brussels. >> the e.u. will dispatch thousands of people to greece including board guards and translators, that alone is

expected to cost $340 million in the first six months. greece would also deploy monit monitors about nine kilometers from lesbosa major entry point for refugees and migrants. but with alternative routes available such as crossing from libya to italy, there are questions about how effective this plan will be. let's hear now from martin mackenzie, a senior government adviser. she said that the e.u. has lost its focus on people who need security. >> it this crisis has been getting worse in the last year. we have seen through these border closures through chaos in the camps. and the idea that the e.u. can just suddenly turn around and implement something on this scale, it is pretty questionable, and actually if they're going to poor this money and resource, it should be about

speeding up family reunions and making sure there are safe and legal routes into europe. the only way you can break that business model is by providing both safe and legal routes. what they seem to not completely understand is that the people seeking sanctuary in europe are completely desperate. this is the last resort. they don't want to be in europe. they would rather be close for home, but they've run out of other options. so they will do anything to get to the place they want to be to find their families because they've run out of hope elsewhere. it is understanding the risk people are willing to take. we know there is a more dangerous crossing. and we know there are dangerous grounds as well. people will continue to take these routes and people smugglers will find a way to process. >> a brazilian judge has blocked the appointment of former

president lula da silva. it is a move that brings protesters to the streets. we have more on what is happening. a judge has made that decision, made it overnight. so what happens next? >> well, it just throws this country into deeper political turmoil than it was just a few hours ago really. this was a supreme court justice that blocked lula da silva from taking this--basically this ministerial position under the current president dilma rousseff. what happens next? the short answer is that nobody really knows. lula da silva was sworn in his minister position, a powerful position probably the most powerful minister really position under dilma reself. but now with the supreme court suspending it, it means that he's not accepted.

he's under serious investigation under allegations of wrongdoing. in theory the federal police rand investigators could arrest him. as this process moves forward. the situation is very, very delicate. meanwhile, dilma rousseff no longer has this chief minister position that lula da silva was filling it's a very powerful and important. it is all very confusing and there are difficult times here. all of this is happening while next week impeachment hearings begin against dilma rousseff in the building you see behind me. a lot going on here. there is a lot of uncertainty, clearly. >> with that state of

uncertainty, and the state of unrest, what about the protest, are they likely to continue? >> yes, we saw huge anti-government protest last week as we've been reporting. well, last night friday night we saw the officer. we saw pro government protests all 26 states including the brazilian here the capital saw protesters that were supporting louisiana la da silva. their basic message was that we don't want a coup. they see the opposition essentially trying to do the coup against the president. the opposition does not agree with that. they say it's all very much a will of the people, the impeachment process. they're very big numbers friday night. pro government supporters. we saw several thousand people in brasilia, so the government

supporters are on the streets in this very divided country. >> thank you very much, indeed, on this up take. nigeria's oil rich river state is holding local and federal elections. the security is tight and they have worn against society violence. they have ey highlighted the two serious issues in nigeria,: security and economy. we spoke about it a little bit earlier. >> it is true that right now it is quite painful but the outlook is very bright. they turn the opportunity of this down sliding in the price the crude. what we're doing is we're spending 90% of our budget on

infrastructure. the moment you invest in your roads, railroads and power, between now and the commission meanwhile, they have been able to block a lot of loopholes. with an discipline we have brought into government we'll reduce and bring up revenue. the moment that th it is approved there will be more spending. this will strengthen the economy. >> still ahead on the program we speak to victims of political violence in zanzabar. >> who wants to live in a place where everything is difficult. >> that's a question that many are asking. we look at what contribute toss an exodus. >> coming up we'll tell how upset the world record holder.

details coming up.

>> this is al jazeera america live from new york. >> at 7:00 - "news roundup". tony harris gives you a fast-paced recap of the day's events. >> this is the first line of defense. >> we have an exclusive story tonight. >> then at 8:00 - john seigenthaler brings you the top stories from across america. >> the question is, will these dams hold? >> and at 9:00 - >> i'm ali velshi, on target tonight... >> ali velshi on target. digging deeper into the issues that matter. >> i'm trying to get a sense for what iranians are feeling.

>> hello again and welcome back. we're watching al jazeera our top stories. five people including three israelis have been killed in an explosion in istanbul. dozens more are injured. a plane crashed in southern russia, all are confirmed dead. they look at what caused it to miss the runaway. and mourners have been laying wreaths of flower outside of the entrance to the airport. france will start the process of extraditing the main suspect in last november's attacks after the arrest in brussels on friday. well, let's get more now on that explosion in istanbul. joining us on skype from the city of istanbul is a defense analyst from the center for economic and foreign policies studies. this attack crazies questions about turkey's ability to protect itself and it's

citizens, doesn't it? >> well, of course, we've seen in the last five or six months three suicide-bombing attacks to the capital of ankara, and also we've seen a series of terrorists strikes in istanbul give the situation. >> certainly very alarming. germany has shut down its consulate just days ago. if they knew about it, do you think this intelligence failure on turkey's part? >> well, i couldn't say that this is a failure.

they have taken these steps in cooperation with the intelligence authorities. but unfortunately there is no proven or perfect way of preventing tourist attacks, especially in populous areas and especially against suicide-bombers. go if it does prove to be kurdish rebels responsible, it's prove that they've taken their threat against the country nationwide. >> we've seen two actually. this is the first time we're seeing, and we could see suicide attacks and ied explosive devices used by kurdish

separatist groups in turkey. we're seeing that trend. and secondly, yes, indeed, we are right. we had hoped that these groups would threaten turkey by just exporting the tourist activities to major population centers including istanbul and ankara. so there is no ground, unfortunately, to be optimistic about the situation in the forecoming months. >> it's curious because not so long ago the peace negotiation negotiations were going all right between the pkk and the government. where did it all go wrong, and why? >> well, like we should clearly have an understanding that the pkk and kurdish issue is not an issue with the turkey but is an issue fueled in syria. these they were really going

well, the negotiations. now they won't be negotiating cultural rights or constitutional reforms. now rewards to the security situation in negotiation. >> very interesting to get your perspective on this. we appreciate it very much. >> voters in the republic of congo will go to the polls on sunday. the opposition said that the

president is willing to cheat to extend his presidency. >> the president has been president of the republic of congo for a long time. after a brief civil war he regained power in 1997. he would go on to win disputed elections in 2002 and 2009. last year he secured the right to seek a third term in a constitutional referendum. he seems confident that he'll win sunday's presidential polls. >> victiwe will win this election. we have a lot of supporters across the country. >> eight opponents are running in the first rebound, but former army chief is the main challenger. he used to be the president's security adviser before retiring last year. but opposition leaders say that

the control of state resources and security may have an unfair election and they fear there could be electoral frau fraud. >> it is not possible for the president to win this election. it would mean that people's votes have been stolen. we'll reject the results. >> last year the supporters were shot and killed. people are running. the bad movement. >> some fear there could be violence after the elections. >> the european union has not sen accept the election. congo is the fourth largest oil producer. the african union has said observers but it didn't do the

same in burundi when president ran and won on some would call an unconstitutional third term. it's another test for the west and african union. >> now barack obama is about to embark on what is described as a trip to cuba. it is the first visit by a sitting american president in 90 years. >> it still looks like the havana of the pre-cold war era when cuba was the playground of the united states. like most visitors, president barack obama will likely feel thrust back in the 1950s when

he sees havana's deco art fixtures. he will be able to admire cuba's colonial center when he tours old havana and sto stop at encouraging stepsest hemmingwa hemmingway's favorite watering hole. or the score of restaurant, testament to the expansion. >> part of this magic and part of this new moment is because we've accumulated so many layers of history and beautiful architecture. but havana also bears the scars of decay. >> some of these houses are deteriorated because of lack of maintenance and repairs. this one has simply collapsed

and it is condemned, yet there are still families living inside. this 74-year-old has been living here since he was 12, and said he's finally about to be moved by the government. >> there's no plumbing. so at night i bring water from the sewage tank from the building next door, but only for the toilet and to bathe because it is too contaminated. >> cuba authorities will likely tell obama that the faded paint and crumbling buildings are the fault of half a century of u.s. economic sanctions although many hearsay government neglect is mostly to blame. still the city is a metaphor of a cold war bilateral relationship that is falling apart. a relationship kept frozen in time and which obama's visit appears to be taking a giant step into the 21st century.

lucia knew man, havana. >> joining us live is wayne smith, secretary of latin american task force unde. welcome to the program. the last president to visit cuba was back in 1928. and he arrived on a battleship. this is a big deal, right? >> tell us more about that and why it is important. >> well look, this is the first presidential visit in 88 years. >> cuba lies 90 miles from the coast of florida, yet these relations have stalled all this

time. now this is a very big opportunity. >> the united states has not lifted the embargo against cuba, nor has it, returned the guantanamo naval base. so americans now go to cuba. many americans go to cuba hoping to sign contracts and open businesses, and they find that there is resistence or very little interest on the part of the cubans because the cubans say, you haven't lifted the embargo. but the president cannot simply lift the embargo. that's up to the congress, which is now controlled by the republicans of course the republican party now has

problems also. so it's a delicate time. but i think president obama is sincere, really sincere in wan wanting to bring about better relations and certainly will push to the extent that he can to bring them about. >> part of the delicate things to be discussed is human rights. will president obama push on that? he will push on human rights. the cubans will come back, well, you haven't lifted the embargo, either. the human rights is a very important issue, and the united states of course must never put inside but we have to move very carefully. things have improved in cuba. look, i was in cuba from 1949 until 1952 when we broke

relations. so i've seen it from the beginning until now. things have improved. i think the cuban government is more flexible now than it used to be. there are greater liberties, but a long way to go. we have to continue the first step but realistically. >> one final question, will you be going back? have you been back since you were last there in office? >> oh, yes, i've been back almost every year. i was delighted to see just a few minutes ago the scenes, one of my favorite restaurant in cuba, and i look forward to going back again soon. >> we appreciate your perspective on this. very interesting. thank you. >> thank you. >> you in zanzibar there are

fierce of a clash to th. this man told us that a gang of armed men whipped him with bicycle chains. they abducted him in zanzibar city. they said it's because he supports the political opposition. >> they told me that i talk too much, and that i show up as if i'm the opposition or if the opposition party belongs to my father. that's what they were telling me. >> the zanzibar's archipelago are normally peaceful, but their elections ar elections are sometimes vi violent. violent incidents have been reported.

activists showed us these photos of masked armed men. witnesses say they've attacked and threatened opposition supporters and journalists. the government human rights officials tell us that they've recorded several attacks. >> we witness people who are with guns who cannot be trusted. >> but the police chief told us he can't do anything if the people don't report the attacks. >> the report of this crime to the police station. we look at measures on that. no one is there for support. >> some houses of both ruling

party and opposition supporters were burned following october's polls. since then they have there have been fire and explosion targeting party offices and officials' homes. several homes were burned here. we took a boat over to the island, but officials said that we could not film here because they said it's still not safe. but other people who spoke to us said that the officials themselves were involved in the burning of homes. it's clear that the situation is still tense and the enemy are worried go what would happen during the rerun of the election. supporters feel they have won a jill victory. many here are worried that the failure of democracy could lead to more violence. malcolm web, al jazeera, zanzibar.

>> the project has been in the works since 2013, and the aim is to improve nuclear security in the asia pacific region. it will conduct research and protecting reactors from attacks. far right dutch opposition has appeared in court on charges of discrimination and inciting hatred. it relates to comments made during the 2014 election campaign in which he called for fewer moroccans in the netherlands. it puts freedom of expression from protection against discrimination. he was acquitted in a similar case in 2011. we still have all the sports including serena williams reaching the final of the indian wells master tournament for the first time in 5 years.

>> a perfect ending capping off a terrible week for arsenal in saturday's early game. they started things off butting the gunners 1-0 up just seven minutes in. arsenal would double their lead and it was the a win for arson wenger whose side was kicked out of the cup and champions league this week. four more matches heading into halftime leicester city will attempt to extend their lead at the top of the table. they're at crystal palace, 1-0 to leicester. chelsea is losing to west ham. the world twenty20 match between arch rivals india and pakistan are under way in cull cut at a. the game has been reduced and india won the toss and put pakistan in.

and i really just--i enjoyed driving the car in qualifying and it got set up just right. >> surely we're not on the front row but we still have high hopes for the race and it's going to be a long year. we know that this car has a lot of potential. so i think as a starting point third and fourth, so locking out the second role is a good achievement. the team has been pushing very hard. as i said we have a long year ahead of us. >> the defending champions golden state warriors beat the dallas mavericks 130-112 on friday. they would finish with 29 points and 14 assists. they have won ten of their last 11 games against minnesota. >> and it's world number one serena williams to become the oldest-ever finalist at the indian wells masters tournament. she would win in straight sets.

thank you. every year green land loses 500 people who leave to seek a better life elsewhere. it may not sound like a lot, but it is when you consider the total population is 56,000. a few years ago the country had hoped to stand on its own two feet by cutting ties with denmark. instead the future is looking bleak. >> growing up in glean land has changed. children here once would have been destined to be hunters, fishermen or reindeer herders, green land has severe social problems like alcoholism and unemployment. every year hundreds leave to seek a better life in denmark, it's colonial ruler. this woman attempted suicide twice and left her problems at

home by moving to copenhagen. >> of course, who wants to live in a place where everything is difficult? where it's hard to get a home. i've been living and renting an apartment on the black market for the past 16 months. deciding to come back to green land in 2012 was one of my biggest mistakes. >> with 10% unemployment on the world's highest suicide rate many here believe there is very little to stay. life in green land can be harsh, not just because of the climate. the hundreds of young people who are leaving are taking their skills away from the economy, which then has to support an aging population. in the short time handouts from denmark could be the only solution. it we lies on a stipend from copenhagen and the danish capital can look like a beacon of hope for people seeking a better or at least more interesting life. >> we have to do a better job to

inform people does not mean denmark is a great life. denmark does not mean that it will solve your problems. you have to solve your problems here. denmark cannot solve it for you. >> small-time giants are green land's biggest bands but believe that their careers could be harmed by moving from copenhagen. >> there is a bit of prejudice in denmark towards green land. you cannot g have to go to denmark to achieve what you can't achieve in green land. >> paul reese, al jazeera, nuuk, green land. >> well, that's it for the news hour. we'll have a full bulletin of news coming up. for me, nick clark and the rest of the team here, goodbye for now.
