they've retaken control of the mountain near the town in homs. it had previously been held by isil in eastern homs. isil seized five checkpoints near an oil field while the armed grouped has also taken an industrial down in northern aleppo. greece has begun the process of sending refugees back to turkey. it's part of a deal struck between the european union and turkey, but even as the operation begins to remove some people, more refugees are arriving. from lesbos, al jazeera's zeina hodor reports. >> this was supposed to have stopped, but the boats keep coming in. europe's refugee crisis is far from over. the latest arrivals are refugees from syria, many of them from the war-torn city of aleppo. they are still making the dangerous journey across the aegean sea to reach the greek

islands. the european union was hoping that a recent agreement with turkey would discourage asylum seekers but people who reached the shores are hopeful they won't be turned back. >> we're coming from a destroyed city. we are asking for asylum on humanitarian grounds. not only is there war in our country, but the situation in turkey is bad for us. >> these people want to make their way to mainland europe in search of a better life. others want to be reunited to family members who made the journey before them. >> the situation is very bad in aleppo. we endured four years of war, bam bothment, attacks. i don't want to be sent back, because my father and sisters in germany and i miss them. >> tighter restrictions imposed by some european countries and the closure of the route means these people will be stuck here. greece is no longer a transit country and there are new rules

in place. >> according to the new agreement between the european union and turkey, these new arrivals could be sent back to turkey. they will be given the chance to apply for asylum, but there are no guarantees it will be accepted. human rights groups criticized the deal that would also involve the e.u. resettling more than 70,000 refugees from turkey. they fear the majority of those who arrive in europe qualify as refugees and require protection. >> it's 10 or 11 kilometers from greece to turkey, so this port now they told me six hours inside the water we lost, ok, and the smuggler go back to turkey, so i don't think they will be agreed to back to turkish. >> some are not aware of the new rules and restrictions. all they know is they managed to

escape war and are hopeful their lives will become better. >> she tells us that she was scared crossing the sea. she also knows why her family had to do it. the situation in aleppo is very bad because of the bombardment, she says, the agreement to send back new arrivals on the island entered force on sunday. the e u.s. promised greece assistance to deal with the asylum cases. these people won't accept any move to take a step back. lesbos, greece. >> villages in the palestinian community are douma have accused israeli settlers of arson. a fire broke out of a home belonging to the main witnesses in an other arson case in the occupied west bank. last july, an 18-month-old baby boy was killed with his parents when his home was burned down by settlers. no casualties have been reported in this latest incident.

18 policeman have been killed in an attack in egypt's sinai peninsula. the interior ministry said that a checkpoint in the coastal city was hit by mortar rounds. isil said that its fighters were behind what is the biggest attack on the egyptian security forces so far this year. security in sinai has been deteriorating just three days ago, 10 merse of the egyptian army were killed in another attack. last october, isil said that it was responsible for bringing down a russian airliner over sinai killing all 224 people onboard. security forces have been on ightened alert since last july when there were more than 15 attacks on security sites. a senior foreign policy fellow at brookings institute says that the government approach to dealing with armed group's has left people feeling alienated. >> this is a very serious concern, security concern, because sinai has historically

felt more marginalized and frustrated. the community of sinai, for not being part of the government's policies towards development and engagement with the capital and instead of approaching more an development concerns and engagement, the government responded with security that actually created a more conducive environment to extremism and the this type of attacks. the government actually conducted a self defeating policy instead of dealing with the radical groups, contributed to the approach to creating a more conducive environment that actually encouraged this. one strong evidence from this actually that sinai replaced it's group from al-qaeda to a more lethal group, which isis is. more involvement of radicalism

in sinai in terms of the version that they're taking from al-qaeda to isis or the types of attacks that they have conducted, as we are seeing, it's become are more frequent and more lethal these days. >> hundreds have been killed in yemen's third largest city taiz between fighting between houthis and those who support the exiled government. hospitals are struggling to cope with the rising number of casualties. >> a shell hits near a group of people in taiz. fighting for control of yemen's third largest city has destroyed many areas and killed hundreds of people. the city is divided. the government controls districts in the south and east. houthi rebels and former president al saleh control the west and north. hospitals are overwhelmed with the rising number of casualties.

people are slowly coming out, looking far their names on the voters' roll. if their name is on the list, they will go inside to vote. this is a contingency election. some say they have not been allowed to campaign and been intimidated. the european union has not -- are saying that the processes are transparent. last year, the president ran for a third term. people are saying maybe this election is a case of double standards. why that is? some political analysts are saying it could be economic influence. they have been silent on the election, speaking out about the present time to extend his term in office. they are saying it could be because of economic interests. this country is the fourth largest oil producer in

sub saharan africa and that is why some are supporting the process and some are quiet. that's where they are going in to vote. this is an opposition stronghold. opposition are saying that they want people to come out this time and vote to show basically how they oppose the process. they want the selection to go into a second round opinion the president has said that he'll win resoundingly in the first round. the concern have is what will happen after the results. opposition are saying they are not going to accept the results if the president wins. >> in niger, a presidential election is going ahead. the president is expected to win a second term. there is a boycott of elections in zanzibar. people there are being asked to vote again to choose their president after the original

followers battled their way into the halls of the capital. >> new york's pennsylvania station rarely has seen anything like it. >> he soon traveled to the united states, only to be very publicly shunned by president eisenhower who went golfing to avoid the meeting. >> it was awkward. castro said we are going to go to washington, but we are not going to do it what other penalties do, kowtow to washington and get down on our knees and beg for money. >> president eisenhower -- the u.s. began in earnest to try to overthrow castro. the u.s. sent exiled cubans to the island in what was known as the bay of pigs invasion. it failed miserably. the c.i.a. tried repeatedly to kill him in a series of botched plots. in 1962, cuba became the center

of the cold war. the u.s. realized the soviet union had placed missiles on the island. >> it shall be the policy of this nation to reward any missile as an attack by the soviet union on the united states, requiring a full retaliatory response. >> this was the most dangerous time of the cold war and arguably one of the most dangerous moments in human history. >> the satisfactory yet eventually removed the missiles but the u.s. and cuba were now firm enemies. the countries remained in a stalemate until this. fidel's brother raul and this handshake signaled things could change. and they did. now with this visit, president obama hopes to solidify his new approach, but he could only do so much. the embargo could only that lifted by the u.s. congress which has shown no indication

that it's going to do that. still to come on the program, the key suspect in november's paris attacks wanted to blow himself up, but changed his mind. we'll bring you the latest developments in the case. their country in crisis, we speak to rural brazilians who have lost hope and faith in their warring politicians. closing in on the first premiership league title. details coming up in sport.

only surviving gunman from the paris attacks will fight extradition to france. he was shot in the leg when captured by police friday. he planned to blow himself up, but changed his mind. the prime suspect in custody. where does this leave the investigation? >> he remains in a top security prison undergoing questioning by dell jen and french police. that prison is just outside the city. here in the capital, something of a roja erupted between the prosecution and defense. on saturday, saleh abdeslam was arrested on terror charges, described at terrorism murder by

the prosecutor's was a here. it is believed already that saleh abdeslam played a key role as one of the 10 who carried out the tack last november that led to the death of 130 people. he believes that saleh abdeslam intended to carry out a suicide attack of his own, but backed out at the last minute after dropping off three of the attackers at the north of paris. apparently, according to the french public prosecutor, the plan then was to travel to carry out another attack, but saleh abdeslam decided to change his mind. this has caused anger from the man hired to defend saleh abdeslam. the barster who took on the job

a couple of days ago, when saleh abdeslam was first arrested, he believe that is by making this information public, that it does go some way in strengthing a case before the trial has even begun. >> saleh abdeslam will fight extradition to france. is there any chance of him avoiding that? >> that's right. his lawyer said he will fight extradition to paris. legally, it is still possible for that to take place, meaning the extradition will take time. the barrister said he could remain here in belgium for another three months to continue with questions, as well, but still the french leadership, the french president francois hollande on friday immediately after saleh abdeslam was

selected said it should be a matter of urgency that he is transferred to paris. lawyers representing those killed in the attacks are also very eager to see that justice is done in the french capital, where of course, the attacks took place. of course, now that there is this row between the defense and prosecution, now that there are these accusations coming from the defense that the case may already be prejudiced by the fact that sensitive information is out in the public domain, perhaps adds strength to saleh abdeslam's desire to remain here in belgium in the foreseeable future until this wrangling sorts itself out. >> many thanks, live from brut sells. >> relatives and friends have been paying respects to the victims of a plane crash in southern russia, which happened saturday. people have labeled flowers and paid tribute to the 62 passengers and crew at.

as the deepening political crisis involving brazil is igniting a national debate about race, class and status. president rousseff face impeachment while her top ally, a former president is under investigation for alleged corruption. it's led to sometimes violent protests in major cities while people in smaller rural towns watch on, many losing faith in their elected officials. we tell you about one such town. >> the notices of protest replaced by that the sound of horses gallops on cobblestone streets. here, it's just another day on horseback getting from one place to another. when the 18-year-old looks at politicians in his country, he sees little hope. >> the politicians are only there to steal from the people and from those of us who are

poor, we are just trying to figure out how to pay for a bag of rice. >> here, people are quiet, humble, working class, and they're watching from afar as their country's government faces the worst crisis in a generation and they're losing faith. >> we get one politician and they are corrupt. we get another and they are corrupt, too. everywhere you look, poll advertises from all sides are corruption in this country. >> in rio de janeiro, hundreds of thousands of anti-government protestors took to the streets, calling for the impeachment of president rousseff, who they hold responsible for economic decline and alleged close ties to corrupt officials. pro government supporters responded with huge pro tests of their own, saying it's a coo, and they won't stand for it. the deepening crisis threatens to bring down the government, and it has the potential to get worse very soon.

>> here in the capital of brasilia, the political situation could become more volatile this week when lawmakers here at congress are expected to open the first faces of impeachment hearings against the president. >> they're wind chilling developments, but not today. no matter the differences, on this day, the one thing that brings everyone together is the local neighborhood football championship. even those far from the tradition allege seats of power, realize this crisis is one of the worst the country has faced for many years. >> we are joined live. he spoke about the impeachment proceedings against president rousseff. how does it work, what happens? >> well, they are moving forward and moving forward very fast. the way it's going to work is they are going to start this

tuesday. it's a special impeachment commission made up of more than 50 lawmakers from various different political parties in brazil. they say that they could reach a decision after meeting with only 15 sessions. by early april to mid april, they could render some sort of decision. they have started to say they think within the next 30-60 days, they will have a better idea if the congress is going to impeach the president or not.

>> they have gone from bad to worse for president rousseff. a very respected polling firm here in brazil, non-partisan came out with a poll today saying 66% of brazilians agree with the impeachment process against rousseff, and 65% of brazilians think that she should resign. those are very bad numbers for the president for multiple reasons, but primarily what it does is it gives the opposition more power or more strength to continue on with this process, knowing that they have the majority of the brazilian people behind them. i will say there was a huge, huge rally friday night here in brasilia and sao paulo with

people in support of the president. her supporters are getting out on the streets, trying to make their voices heard. their argument is they think this is a power grab by the opposition and they will not stand for what they say is a coup against the president. the opposition see it as them going through the proper congressional channels to get an unpopular president out of office. greer events are moving fast in brazil and this impeachment process is moving fast against a president that is clearly not very poplar in her country. >> gabriel elizondo there in brasilia. >> south africa's ruling party is scheduled to meet on sunday and insists that the impeachmet of the president is not on the agenda. we have the latest from pro tore i can't. >> there have been mixed messages over the course of the weekend from the national

executive commit fee of the african national congress. around to what extent it will be discussing these allegations against president jacob tshuma. he's been accused or rather his relationship with a prominent influential family here in south africa originally hailing from india has been under question in terms of the influence this family has on the running of the a.n.c. as well as south africans, the influence they have in terms of the relationship with president jacob cuma. a number of accusations and revelation have come out in recent days and despite this, the national executive committee or indications from the commit key are that these allegations won't necessarily be high on the agenda, rather than dealing with the president's relationship with this family, they may discuss the issue of state capture. the influence of corps receipts on the african national

congress. a number of people within the committee are willing to defend the president especially at this crucial time when elections are expected later in the year. voting is underway for the tibetan government in exile.

it's still continuing to talk. it has different points to talk on. tibet is one issue. there are many other issues that the government is trying to solve. >> though china doesn't recognize the government in exile, it needs to be a priority. >> there's only one goal for first generation refugees for those who still long to go home. >> every day, i pray in my lifetime that his holiness, the dalai lama can go back to tibet. all tibetans have to focus collectively. >> whatever the results of these
