isil said that this teenager carried out an attack in iraq that killed dozens of people. >> prosecutors file more charges against those involved in brussels attack. yemen, one year on. the war looks to an april cease-fire agreement. and a metro project that

critics say will destroy parts of a historic pakistani city. we begin in iraq where there have been two major attacks. one at a football steam and one at the air base where dozens of people have been killed. the air base is located in anbar province 120 kilometers from ramadi. hundreds of u.s. military advisers and trainers use the base to support iraqi troops. however, the u.s. military is saying that there were no attacks in or near its site of the base. last week they would retake anbar province. 67% of the have vince is now controlled by isil. the attack comes from an attack south of baghdad. 30 people were killed when a suicide-bomber clu blue himself

up. >> the explosion killed dozens of people. it happened south of baghdad. the losses on the battlefield may have provoked the increase attacks like these. the u.n. secretary general arrived, ban ki-moon said that isil is exploiting sectarian division. he called on iraq's government to nuclear reconciliation between sunni and shia communities. in northern iraq the army said

that they started clearing out the isil-held city of mosul in preparation of an offense to retake the city some time this year. mosul is surrounded on three sides by kurdish peshmurga forces. bernard smith, al jazeera. >> the ceo of who has been an assistance of five divisions in iraq. >> isis is the latest reincarnation of what was previously known as al-qaeda and iraq. and al qaeda in iraq signature attacks from sectarian-based attacks. primarily car bombs against innocent shia, marketplaces and assistant civilians. i was at an aqi leader, a

predecessor who wanted to ignite a shia-sunni war which it successfully did by bombing in the cities and selecting targets. isis wants to do the same thing. and unfortunately, the main beneficiary of such attacks with attacks against civilians and militia attacks against sunni civilians is militant and extremists and iran-backed militia groups. unfortunately, what we've seen out of this white house is all tactics and no strategy. absent of broader political framework all the military resources in the world and obviously the united states has the best intelligence, reconnaissance, surveillance capabilities and the best special operations forces in the world. all those resources could have been expended in iraq during the

bush administration. but u.s. involvement is not going to achieve anything. >> the belgium prosecutors have charged some suspects. thousands of people have been coming to the heart of belgium's capital to la floral tributes. suicide-bombers detonated explosives at the international airport and a busy metrotation. jacky rowland responds from brussels. >> we've been getting details of more charges filed against suspects who were arrested on thursday and on friday. and thursday a suspect by the nam was arrested and he was charged with participation in terrorist activities. two other names, one arrested on thursday and one arrested on

friday. if i may, i would like to focus on that first suspect who has been named. because police are apparently pursuing the theory that he was the third man in that cctv image from the airport. you'll recall the cctv i think showing three men. two men who were involved in a bomber and died in the explosion. a third man in a light coat and hat is suspected to be on the run. he was charged with participating in terrorist activities. what we know about him is that he passed himself off as an independent journalist and in fact, that was kind of a cover. and that in fact, he was not really a bonified journalist at all. >> in egypt the army said it

killed 60 fighters affiliated with isil in the northern sinai. another 40 from injured in raids on raids in ammunition depos. the latest defensive involves the deadly attack by isil which killed 15 policemen in the sinai peninsula. syrian state media say government forces have taken the ancient city of pal maya from isil. it's been reported that the citadel area has been recaptured by the government, but the city itself is still contested. we have more from the turkish-syrian border with more. >> the area is only one kilometer away from the city center. so over controls the area gives them the vantage point. and in military terms they will

nobody control of the city itself. we have reports that isil sit putting a tough part of the number earlier p we know from different reports that they're clearing the numbers of areas. now the entire city of palmyra is quite big for the regime and the russians because it connects with other strongholds to the north and then to the east and there is an isil stronghold 37 so we'll cut the supply roots to them. >> a mass protest taking place in the yemeni capital of sanaa. it's a year to the day in campaigns against hooty rebels began in the country. the former yemeni president spoke to the crowd. >> on this day in 2015, the assault on the yemeni people started. killing innocent civilians, targeting our women and children, destroying civilian

household and closing down schools, universities and factories. >> at least 25 people have been killed in a suicide-bombing in the southern yemeni port city of aden. one car bomb went off at a military checkpoint. other two with explosions at a base used by the saudi-based coalition. isil has claimed responsibility. since the war began last year the united nations said 6500 people have been killed. u.n. agencies report that 21 million people around 82% of the population, needs some kind of humanitarian aid or protection. and more than 2.5 million people have been forced from their homes. senior of foreign policy fellow at the brookings institution said that the

cease-fire represents many uncertainties. >> we're finally talking about a cease-fire on april 10th, and we don't know whether this is going to hold. and the u.n. envoy will announce this. actually, he, they explained the logic behind april 10th. if you really and seriously interested in a cease-fire and truce, why don't you just take one or two days to stop it, and to stop the war and begin the cease-fire. but nevertheless, a major change has happened over the past year is that the campaign has been able to liberate the southern part of yemen in particular the aden area. but that's by itself has become a problem. in two ways. one way is that if this war continues, then we're going to end up with a de facto partition of yemen where we have a state in the south governed by the

hadi, and the state in the north governed by the houthies. another major problem with this is that the southern part has become chaos in terms of security on security terms, meaning that the area has beco become al-qaeda has become full control of it, and eye skis has become active in aden, where aden has become a haven for isis. >> still ahead, targeted by their own government, why ethiopia's largest ethnic group say they feel persecuted. plus tensions at a damascus gate. why the indians to the old city is now element--why the entrance to the old city is now almost empty.

but of course there are those who do not want to leave. they still have hopes that the border will open even though many of the people you talk to are relying on the fact that they may be stuck here. but they say they can pressure the mad down i can't authorities, pressure the e.u. and keep their plight in the international media so they will not be forgotten. right now they have to apply for asylum. they have to apply for the relocation program, and this will take months. and people are growing desperate. especially those who want to be reunited with their families. it is a logistical challenge. it's going to take a long time for these people to get appointments and to apply. but they're hoping that the greek government employs more staff members. >> the aroma people one of the ethiopia's largest ethnic groups say they're ignored or targeted by their own government. activists say at least 200 people were killed by security
