year than first thought. >> we will tell about sri lanka's plan to tbe the first country with complete 4g internet coverage. we start, though, with developing news out of beb anon. a bomb attack at the pal stan ref uming e camp in south lebanon. we have heard this has killed a member of the fatah movement. it is believed an explosive device was placed on his car. two others who were with him at the time have been injured. this is a bomb at a palestinian refugee camp in lebanon which killed a member of the fatah movement. these are the first pictures we are getting from the region in south lebanon. we will bring you more as soon as we can. two stories out of syria.

russia says one of its attack helicopters went down in homs province killing the two pilots. the other news is the turkish army has targeted kilns. charles stratford, we will go to him in a moment. we will start with rory challands in moscow. i understand what you know is little enough but what you know about the helicopter that's crashed. what we have is what the russian defense ministry published in various news releases today. basically, they say that an mi attack military helicopter went down at about 2230 gmt. they say the two crew members

were killed in this crash, a search and rescue. vladimir putin has been told. peskolv says of course the command ner chief is notified first at the moment, they are saying the helicopter was not shot down but they don't know exactly why it crashed and they have launched a task force to try to get to the bottom of things. >> okay. that's rory challands with that update from moss co. we will go to charles stratford. the syrian army preparing to launch an operation to retake allepo. can you tell me about the cross-border firing going on between turkey and syria?

we sgoek the governor on the town where these authorities are describing as rockets landed. after 3 landed. he says at least 18 people have been wounded, 3 so he says seriously. it's interesting to point out that there has been a lot of isil movement across the border in that area in recent days. fsa fighters, free sir an army fighters told us in recent days they have lost a lot of ground in that area, a number of villages they had control of retaken by isil fighters. as you say, the turkish military saying they are responding to go these attacks. they say they are actually targeted isil fighters in these villages. what's also worrying, though, in the last couple of hours, we have seen video and seventeen

people in kilis, protests among the turkish and we commissioned one of our contacts in allepo to shoot some footage for us. it seems aleak answers between the various fashions are shifting, changing in that city. this is our report. >> alliances are changing in this city the sir i can't believe forces say they have allied themselves. the u.s. supports the ypg in its fight against isil and the nusra

front. this shows an area controlled by the syrian military. there are various anti-government groups. it's believed around 65,000 families remain in the city. don't be afraid my son, he says. there is no running water or electricity across the city. we had to convert this washing machine into a wood berner to keep warm at night. >> when the bombing starts, we hide. it's a room inside the cave. it's terrifying the fight in and various articles groups competing for control has made that difficult. the main road into the city of aleppo. if it is closed there will be no more roads in or out. you have absolutely no other way

they control some areas in the south of the city no cease-fire for us, this man screams. book on the streets, the fighting continues. there is a sniper. i can't go out says this fsa fighter. forest says two of his sons don't speak anymore. he said they live in perpetual fear and like thousands of other families across this besieged city, they have no where else to go. we are hearing in the last hour or so, according to activists in alleppo that there have been at least three government airstrikes on targets south of the city. we are also hearing there is ongoing fighting in that area.

what's so worrying is that this comes a day before scheduled peace talks or renewed efforts to try to get peace talks started in geneva happens. obviously, this fighting in alleppo is the wider region close to the turkish border shows how difficult those talks are going to be. back to you kamal. >> charles stratford in southern turkey. the conflicts in syria, fighting in with isil is expected to be on the agenda with the saudi king and his meeting with turkish officials. wedged by erdouan. he will attend a conference by the oic. >> will be happening in istanbul. right now, to ankarnkara. our correspondent to tell us about what the saudi king is trying to achieve on this part of his trip around the region.

i think it shows you how happy tes to see you when the president goes to the airport. that's what he did. the first time he has done that. it's very significant. on the apresident a we thought we had told officially with the region they are going to be talking about syria. they are very much against terrorism, coming up with counterterrorism together but the king has flown from e gen to go here before the summit of the oic, really hoping, i think, that there will be an even more reprochmon between egypt and turkey. relations hit rock bottom after the coup in egypt in 2013. relations have that ywed is sin then.

the message is let's get those relations completely back on trash before the summer begi begins playing the traditional role indeed k i think turkey plays quite a good sort of go between and syria. turkey is still talking to iran things like going on behalf of the iranians saying they want to attend the hand. so acting in some sort of go between in those two nations as well showing they are a power

broker together as they go into this summit and bringing that force. >> there are two things i mention. one is that this meet something taking place because it is taking place the relations has experienced a significant

improvement. the trouble was that they could not fiber optics on the area of cooperation. they were exclusively focusing on the area of conflict. and remember, this was when the arab sprning was still quite popular in riyadh has been about iran. and in this regard t came to understanding that it can have his relation with turkey. focus while there is an area remaining in place they also focus on the area of cooperation like curtailing influence and cooperating on syria.

>> the third thing. >> i am going to jump in there? >> which is is it that king salmon is more open or progressive and that's why this is a good time at a time change in personality? >> well, the major of the politicians, in the region is the primary factor that fazel faces. >> doesn't mean the area of the agreement between turk e and saudi arabia has disappeared. they are there and they will remain there for quite some time to come because turkey perceives a change they have a different understanding development in the region. that's granted it's still in place the nature of the development in the region,

particularly arab spring turning in to what we can call the growing area of civil complaints throat the region and growing iranian influence around the region and, also, lack of the u.s. security umbrella to saudi arabia. or less commitment created the formation of this relationship. >> can you tell us about the organization of islamic cooperation and what they do and what their summit is going to be about? >> it's primarily al governmental organization. it doesn't have that much power. it is decision is meant mainly advisory level. it's a recommendation style

decision, it has more content rather than any substance. there is, it is good. they get together. thing focus it is inter-governmental and they their recommendation will be realize to the extent that the participating countries are willing to implement. >> right. joining us frommist alanbul talking about the saudi king's visit to turkey. thank you. >> so much ahead for you on this newshour. another major brazil's president. the pressure is really mounting now for her impeachment. why canada has been forced to deploy a crisis team to help a remote indigenous community. in sport, psg star ibrahimovich with allegations of doing. the details a little later in

but some of them means that the fundamentalist wants to take over a small camp it offer looks the camp. >> right. can you tell me, just quickly can you explain to us more about the camp then? if you are saying he is a fatah leader within the camp but there are other fashingsz you know, is there a controlling fax? how does life sort of work in

there? >> taking place about one kilometer by an explosive inside the car. this is part of the conflict. i think we will see more clashes inside between the fund mentalists it's day by day and once for more domination of the fundamentalists because people say in the camp, the excitement is the more than the stall stenian authority and this makes sense most of them are subject to be recruited by the yupz

libyan army real important but at the moment they are not doing enough. isil is taking more control, more territory. attacking civilians, too. what is the u.k. offering in terms of security assistance? >> as the minister of planning just said to us, security is the key none could be done without good security. it's the top priority. in terms of what we can actually do, it's not so much what we are offering but what they will ask. i think that's what we need to see come out from more detailed discussions in the next few days and weeks. one element is whether they need any help with security in tripoli, not boots on the ground, but with training behind the scenes and then, obviously, dealing with daesh, extremism,

terrorism, something we are ready to respond to requests to, to help them deal with. >> what about dealing with isil? how is the international community planning to deal with the group gaining more territory every day? >> that's among our priorities. we will be discussing with the government, with prime minister sirage and his anyone sisters, but before we can do anything, we need a more detailed discussion with them. >> peter, thank you so much for joining us here. >> thank you. >> those discussions are ongoing right now. i think what the libyans want to know is how much money is the international community going to promise them? they are pledges coming in. nothing concrete so far. >> hithed officials are linking the moss ketone-borne decision.

a way to treat it. >> absolutely correct. so, yes, the vaccine, possible vaccine is years away. this is not something we this means trying to control the transmission by the mosquitos, the mainly mosquitos that we think are transmitting the virus getting rid of breeding places for, spraying and of course personal protection. that's important. second, diagnosis is very important. so being able to diagnose an

infection. these are the mine priorities right now. >> from the world health organization in geneva, thank you so much for that. >> still ahead on this newshour: >> i am jessica in london. trying to figure out what it is about sherlock homes that makes him so popular. >> this moroccan runner continues to turn the world's toughest foot race into a one-man show. details in sport a little later.
