out in the final question. and feels his work victory over the spaniard this year. we begin this news with the devastating truck bombing in the somali capital mogadishu at least ninety people have been killed but medics say that number is likely to rise it is the biggest loss of life from one single explosion in the history of somalia and the government is blaming the group for the blast but so far . hasn't released a statement on the attack caroline malone has the latest. on that. bodies are still being brought out of the rubble of one of the worst attacks in mogadishu in recent times the number of them in a truck bomb went off at a busy junction when hundreds of people were nearby president mohammed up to lucky

mohammed has visited the scene the sheer force of this blast is clear by the effect on the buildings around him and they said you know. the target of these terrorist is not government officials but civilians as you see here there are no government buildings only civilians who are going about their daily life we have to come together and fight these monsters until we eradicate them from our country. a large number of people are suffering from life threatening injuries and a boost in blood supplies is needed to help them a second blast hit another part of the city two hours after the first early on saturday. but it was the truck bomb that caused most of the fatalities people were still digging through the rubble on sunday it's not yet clear who carried out the attack the government's blaming al-shabaab for the bombing but the armed group is denying it was behind it carol i'm alone al jazeera. somali government spokesman of

the rahman yes hero says the security situation has improved in mogadishu recently but it's impossible to prevent all attacks this is the best time for the last four months it's beautiful it's. just really done magnificent job but if you really and. one of the soviet system used and we did everything in the soil a number of times we don't want to but if you're going to someone who wants to blow themselves up as you said earlier the fact is the school would have to have to stop it but it was too late so we are doing everything we can and this is the time we thought that. this good but there is always going to distort the people that this is something that we all are mourning and. what we kind of help those people who are in the hospital and i still appears to be

on the verge of being pushed out of itself declared capital in syria u.s. by syrian forces say almost all civilians and about two hundred seventy five eisel faces have left cracka under a deal that was brokered by tribal leaders on saturday between two and three hundred mostly foreign fighters are still inside the city of alvira is following developments for us from takeo on the turkey syria border what's the latest on the fighting in iraq atia. heat of the fighting say it continues inside rocky. why to say that they have managed to capture one of the neighborhoods . that was still under the control of iraq. that we have killed about why why now there is quite a six other neighborhoods where the fighting is now considered created by the areas coming under shelling by the white is no airstrikes for the time being local

activists and journalists were barred from getting close to the area to give us a sense of what is exactly happening there and this year fourth of their quieting above the earth the earth as it is determined to finish the wind today to declare totally and their control. well as from iceland brucker in twenty fourteen its control soon spread to areas of iraq and the armed groups seize control of big areas of both countries three years later and its territory has been reduced to this the iraqi government is launching an offensive to push it from its last stronghold there as well as being on the brink of losing rocker in syria i saw has just lost the town of dean syrian government forces and their allies are also trying to drive the group from the last pockets it holds in the city of the rose or hashem that's the backstory was there a particular sea change here for i saw fighters when they went from being on the

back foot to facing imminent defeat. many things have changed on the ground there was hoping to years the lock up for example as a platform to expand western north to the world. and homes now they are losing those ground and they are putting out towards us the problem they are facing now is that this is an army on one hand all the other international let's go relation of the russians are tightening the noose around i saw their recruiting start to words. which are on the border with iraq of a problem with those areas are you talking about a vast desert landscape which is totally exposed which makes it impossible for i saw from our own words to send reinforcements or a large convoys like the years to do into

a thousand fourteen thousand and fifteen i said was hoping to use syria as a platform to expand what he called its islamic caliphate that narrative is no longer. reverberating in the region on the contrary many are saying with the latest setback this is most likely going to be the beginning of the four i said in syria and some people are saying what they did in mosul is pretty much in some senses what they've done in iraq ok different cities different countries but instead of in circling the city in totality they leave. a corridor or through which. human shields and buses containing civilians can get out of the area of conflict is that the story of record that you're hearing as well.

it did start that way until there was an international back so the tribes of iraq how were negotiating a deal that would pave the way for the quieter there really is to leave but then there was this debate about what to do with the foreign fighters the u.s. led coalition yesterday distanced itself from the do you think that we want to allow those fighters to be given a free r.t. then resurface in other areas to continue the fight i think this explains why some of the foreign fighters. yesterday just to remain because even if they were given. most likely they were able they won't be able to make it because of. what is happening now is that there's also the syrian government pushing from south all the way towards the more i guess the eyes of the chances are now very slim for either of fighters to survive the military offensive this explains why now they're saying this is their last throughout these years basically converging in the desert areas

of the border with iraq and then from there they might look into different plans regrouping or going to different places but they do really feel that the news is being there now tighten the. question thanks very much. syria is demanding turkey withdraw its forces from its northern italy province immediately more than one hundred turkish soldiers and twenty armored vehicles crossed the border two days ago he says they're there to enforce the so-called deescalation zone which was brokered with russia and iran to reduce the fighting. kurdish peshmerga forces have rejected a warning from iraqi forces to withdraw from an area south of the disputed province of kirkuk tension has been on the rise since kurds voted overwhelmingly for succession from iraq last month his chance stratford. two weeks ago these iraqi government forces were fighting eisel in this area now after their victory they are advancing towards kurdish peshmerga positions the vehicles you can see there in the

distance shia militia vehicles they have moved closer to that burn to that wall in the last few minutes the dust you can see on the horizon there the peshmerga are telling us are actually tanks they say there are least fifty tanks in that convoy the situation on this defensive position with the peshmerga is increasingly tense it was a similar situation to the southwest of this peshmerga position more shia militia and iraqi army that closed in the peshmerga say they will not withdraw totally and looking out for the iraqi army were fighting i saw them and they didn't pay attention to us but now i still have been beaten they have moved towards our position here we will not withdraw we will defend this position to the last peshmerga we will not leave our position the peshmerga took control of the disputed or oil rich city of kirkuk in the surrounding area in two thousand and fourteen when the iraqi army fled and i saw offensive. shia militia groups under the command

of iraqi prime minister hyderabadi have threatened to take control of the oil fields peshmerga reinforcements arrived soon after the government troops advanced towards this position some of the more than six thousand patients deployed here in the last few days everybody denies he's force he had said moved into the area to fight the peshmerga but he has warned the kurdish regional government not to obstruct iraqi military operations in the area the kurdish governor of kirkuk says there is only one way to prevent a potential conflict here for the iraqi army and has to be to go back to their places to go back to where they say they will go either way. it will not deescalate but it's the only way. these kurdish fighters fortune defeated are still in northern iraq in cooperation with the iraqi military and shia militia now they say they're having to defend their positions against them john strafford al jazeera

west of kirkuk in northern iraq. let's return to our top story so far today the bombings in mogadishu dozens of people have been killed peter de clercq is the deputy special representative of the u.n. secretary general for somalia joining us here in the studio in doha peter de clercq your thoughts on this appalling day. of course is terrible and we have seen more of these terrible events in the past few years i must say that we have seen significant improvement of the security situation to get militia over the past few months so great efforts have been made by the government to particularly secure mogadishu city but also other areas in in the country but nevertheless when one is desperate enough to get through these kind of things do happen and we've seen it yet again into mali unfortunately when you are based in mogadishu when your at home if you will in somalia how do you deal with the security situation given that you

know place these days is totally secure. well this is why we are in somalia if we didn't accept the risk we wouldn't wouldn't be there but i must say that great strides have been made in a very positive direction not just on the security side but also very much on the humanitarian and reconstruction side as well we do of course protect ourselves but as i said we do we are very well aware that we do run certain risks being there what does this do to the effort to get somalia properly back on its feet. well we have to see the big picture if we focus just on these terrible events we will lose the positive that's happening in somalia as well and we have just managed to be very close to vertica family very close to doing that of course the situation is still very serious on the humanitarian side but nevertheless a lot of very good things are happening and the health situation is improving on sanitation we've also made great strides and is still trying to work very much on

the improvement of. the food situation as well at the same time we working with the government on a reconstruction plan that will build on this drought response and it will allow us to invest to begin the productive sectors in the country and move forward to make sure that drought will never turn into a famine again is there a sense in which despite or because of the event that we're looking at just a series of bomb attacks in the somali capital that when you talk to the secretary general is there a chance you might actually say look we need to do more not less we need to be seen to be doing more not less no absolutely investing in the development of these countries the best investment we can make in security at the end of the day if young people see a future of their country see their contribution as part of also an economical effort not just security of it i think that is the way to go and it's very much the direction we're staring into and as i said the humanitarian response has been a good example of us being more and more successful in that respect and we do want

to also really start investing in the productive sectors now in this country those broad brush principles commendable though they are but how do you apply those to real people people who are maybe somali by birth or they're born across the border the kind of people that mount this kind of attack how do you get that message of there's a better future coming for you so therefore you don't have to do this kind of thing how do you get to them. well young people need to see a future they need to see. opportunities in terms of livelihoods that will give them a decent life they also need to see that the government's a difference in their lives and we are seeing more and more efforts in the country in that direction the government is taking more responsibility is more accountable to its populations not just at the central level but also at the decentralized levels so people need to see the difference when an area changes hands from else about into a government area people new to see that difference and this is what we're working

towards if what we're seeing today is the beginnings of something else we don't know that there's been no claim of responsibility that we can actually believe but if that is the case do you have to revisit all refresh your mandate. no not at all in fact it should we double our efforts to develop the country to provide opportunities economic opportunities particularly for young people so we need to stay the distance so money will not be fixed in one or two years this is a ten to fifteen year project that we have to take on collectively but not doing so give us an eighty percent chance that everything will fall back so we only have a way forward because it occurred many thanks thank you very much plenty more still to come here on the news for you including the spanish central government stepped up its pressure on catalonia as leader after last month's secession vote. we'll tell you why security has been tightened as kyrgyzstan holds its presidential election. and there are celebrations in los angeles don't just take victory in

their championship series opener details coming up in sports fans in about four to . turn our attention to kenya where the opposition leader raila odinga is expected to speak at a rally in mombasa it would be the first time he's appeared in public since withdrawing from a planned presidential election rerun there is anger over increasingly certain. questions being asked about the poll planned for later this month there have been days of violent protests despite a government ban two demonstrators were killed during fighting with the police on friday for me to miller is in mombasa for us here on the news so riley says he's out but is he saying that they can't therefore rerun the election for me to. essentially he's saying that because he's not participating in this election he's

looking back after a supreme court ruling of twenty fourteen that says one is a withdrawal of one of the candidates. new nominations here and he's a national. i think we're having comms problems there with that line too for meter we will try and go back to if we can let's move on to another big story for you so far today it's a major story coming to us out of europe another election people are voting in austria snap election it could see the far right freedom party entering into government as part of a coalition the election is one year earlier after the government fell apart in may david chaytor is our correspondent in vienna following that story david any biggest news apart from the issue of where they think the country is going to go as it continues apparently to lurch to the right. peter the analysts here are actually saying that this is the most important

political crossroad that austria has faced in decades and it looks like the electorate are going to choose a sharp turn to the right essentially the whole debate here coagulated around one central issue and that is illegal migration into this country that's what the big debate has been and the man who is leading the polls at the moment the man who's expected to be the chancellor tomorrow is of course ahead of the head of the popular party the new popular party a restyled by himself since he took over in may and now sebastian kurtz has been taking policies from the hard right to freedom party he's been using a lot of their rhetoric and a lot of their thoughts to garner votes to pull votes away from the hard right and put them into his so-called center right party and that has been the whole market

touchstone of the debate here and many other issues have simply not had a look in because the the austrian electorate most worried about this one issue. about the the number of of refugees. coming into the country how they're changing the society up to now of course there has been no particular problem but there could be if the hard right to join a coalition with the freedom party i've been looking at the election rallies the last rallies and the reaction of the people let's hear exactly what they've been saying. for so bastion kurtz's called the austrian politics of what see at thirty one he may be short on years but he's long on ambition as this t.v. broadcast with you people's party shows his eyes are set firmly on the chancellor ship. the polls full of well ahead but he's done it by poaching some of the

policies of the far right. on the. way here i can also promise today that we will end illegal migration to achieve order and security in austria. it's the freedom party led by heinz christian structure that could be drawn into a new right wing coalition with young chancellor they draw their support from a working class age related by the waves of immigration into europe struck has said his near nazi links and hughes could now be dismissed he described himself then as stupid and naive that there is no islam does not belong in austria and we do not want an islamic nation of our own homeland i think something needs to change it's either very strong to left off very strong to the right and the middle needs to come back the middle class is missing a ban on face veils came into effect here this month but opinion was divided

amongst worshippers at friday prayers at the mosque about what life might be like under a new right wing coalition. this you know i'm afraid to be living in a country where the women are suppressed because of the headscarf or what they are wearing their exterior and i am afraid of that as i want to become a doctor. the muslim and the muslims are mature voters and when we do not feel vulnerable well let's protect them before austria has been largely successful in integrating its muslim minority with the islamophobia card is being played in this election and is winning votes. the changing political landscape in australia is likely to add to the problems of the german chancellor angela merkel she will no longer find natural allies in government here. david there's been so much open hostility during the campaign what are the chances that the politicians can dust

themselves off and work together regardless of who wins or who doesn't win. well the yes no you're right the grand coalition that's been so much in this is the years second world war here has essentially thall into internal squabbling and internal politics and so if anything we're going to see a coalition of the of the right bringing in to politics here once again the freedom party led by heinz clichy instructor and he is trying to moderate his image very much he's got a neo nazi past and of course the party itself was formed by by x. nazis at the end of the second world war but they are trying to moderate their position and position and stances but we've been hearing a lot of rhetoric both from the center right and from the hard right aimed at what they call the illegal immigration how this might have an impact later on on the

muslim community here it has been well integrated but there are problems and they could find themselves at the center and the focus of attention in that coalition but not of course. the only ones the relationships with the european union will also take a turn for the worse because the hard right party is euro skeptical and so we might find that the chancellor and his perhaps new foreign minister who is expected to be christians. will represent a hurdle to these new efforts. by the french president and by angela merkel to try and revive reinvigorate and reform the european union so it will be a tough time ahead for brussels once again off the bridges thanks david. refugees in bangladesh have become overcrowded making it easy for families to get separation and for children to get lost more than half

a million range of me in mars northern state of rakhine since august after the army began their crackdown i'm a german jew met one refugee at the critical long camp in cox's bazar who started now a lost and found service. for commom saying the time had come to try and make a difference. in one day in the morning i was going to work i saw one lady who was sitting in front of the gate and crying when i asked what happened she said my baby's been missing since last night and i can't find him after opening the office that day i was thinking about it and i was feeling very bad i was thinking how can i help it that was in late august just as the massive exodus of refugees fleeing violence in me and more was beginning since then more than five hundred thousand people have arrived in bangladesh. i'm. come all himself or hinder refugee who's lived here for years noticed that more and more families were

a microphone and start calling out the names of the missing and the lost now he is doing this full time. normal hamad was frantic when he couldn't find his two and a half year old son. people told me that i should go to the booth with a microphone where a person named kamaal will announce my baby's name i searched all over for my son and still couldn't find him when i was about half of the way to the booth i heard that they were announcing that they had found a child then when i arrived i found my son with kemal now reunited with his son mohamed tells us he's not just relieved but also extremely grateful to come out but for every happy parent we find there is a distraught one. my son has been missing since last night i said to him yesterday all day and night as she waits for news alongside her other son will hamad aziz al mori just desperation only deepens come all is all too familiar with this kind of suffering it's why he sits in this booth despite the heat it's why he works from

early in the morning until late at night. finding children helping adults making a difference one name at a time. at the could to prolong camp in cox's bizarre on the ditch. another weather forecasts another hurricane this time it's ophelia he said it's yeah that's right. we have found that the family has now become the most powerful hurricane in the eastern pacific in the eastern alliance i should say on record it won't be a hurricane when it reaches arlin there you can see very much the case of the calm before the storm clear skies there over a good passive england wales pushing across a good part of allah to the moment little cloud and that's right ahead of hurricane ophelia all what will be left of hurricane ophelia as we go through monday very strong winds are going to hurricane force winds is not going to hurricane but it

will be hurricane force winds doubling for example could have winds of around one hundred fifty kilometers per hour so damaging winds in place there is damaging winds also affecting parts of western well western parts of england but aren't always having the strongest of the winds they will sweep its way through at least it is moving very quickly and then we go on into tuesday things looking a good deal quieter and a good deal comma one thing that the figure is also bringing is a keen southerly a wind in across that western side of europe so we got the clear skies across central areas big area of high pressure and then you can see the valid clout there just out towards the west associated with that storm and with those winds coming in from the south of the air we're drawing up all the way from the north of africa twenty three twenty four celsius a possibility for london in paris should be about fourteen degrees at this time of here it'll turn a little cooler into the early part of next week peter robinson thanks very much still to come here on the news for you how families desperate for food being enticed to help venezuela's government at the ballot box this is

that we now know at least ninety people were killed in the twin bombing in the capital mogadishu another two hundred people were injured. i still appears to be on the verge of being pushed out of itself to clear capital in syria u.s. backed syrian forces say almost all civilians and about two hundred seventy five eisel faces have left braca under a deal that was brokered by tribal leaders on saturday. australians are voting in a snap election that could see the far right freedom party enter a coalition government the election is a year early after the current government fell apart in may. the final votes are being cast in kyrgyzstan's presidential election polls close in less than one hour none of the candidates are expected to win outright many analysts are predicting a runoff between two former prime ministers security has been high because of previous political violence in the country kyrgyzstan's first two leaders since the fall of the soviet union were removed from office after riot. well the presidential

race started with thirteen candidates three of whom have since dropped out they've been plenty of mudslinging incidents between frontrunners. and on the back. has been getting the backing of the current president back by f. business mogul bahnhof positioned himself as the candidate to change. in the capital for us. if it is a runoff what happens then. i'm sure you have to repeat that question just because the music has really picked up here and i can just about make you say that again. if it does go to what happens at that point. right well indeed if it goes through a runoff would expect to. have a runoff in november we imagine that the two front runners will go through and that's going to change the whole dynamic of this election because the band of the

entrepreneur. who was leading quite substantially in the polls that gap has narrowed now if he still manages to be ahead after these votes he will obviously have the wind he sails but if the government candidates. seem a little bit they obviously are going to really see this is their opportunity and they will probably go after a as much as they can it's been a pretty dirty campaign a lot has been leveled at the opposition candidate taking part in this election. because he's not actually completely kyrgyzstan and nationally isn't he's nationalism is very strong here and they've also even had a diplomatic spat with the kazakhs who are accused of a favoring these candidates and that is indeed the kazakhs closing the border respecting that entry move. between think it's not because it's been it's been

a big problem affecting a lot of people crossing those boys and also the president. though he might have been expected to stay serenely out of basic ways and he has waded in at every opportunity and even today he was talking about how he's going to stay on he's not gone yet he'll be here to the seventy leading. politicians after this election is over you can only. get from that these imply you might even go after the base. if he fails obviously to win so lots of lots of unpleasantness but overall one could also say that see the way this isn't bad to central asia he stands democracy that's more authentic than any other country here where strong men tend to cling to power at least the incumbent here has said he will and he's done what he can to make the voting here fairly. broad it's

a very decent sized system people have to submit passports and by that very difficult. to take place. thanks very much. to caracas because going to show you some live pictures of people exercising their democratic rights as venezuela's opposition is projected to win a majority of governorships in sunday's regional elections polls opened two hours ago. a confusing ballots and a last minute decision. one hundred thousand census could affect the turnout to respond in the capital caracas teresa. i want to hear. a low income neighborhood of about four million people. and i come here and i want to go and we've been told that turnout has been we know

. until now in the people we used to be a long line of people coming here to cast their ballot about not happening today imo but. if the opposition because in a way people are. would one thing happening in the country. have happened a few months ago people believe that they did not achieve anything they did not achieve what they wanted which was that the government called for a presidential election all go there were some irregularities announced and denounced by the opposition the electoral council covered over two hundred but we didn't plan to be relocated and that backing away the opposition mostly happening in areas where they won in the past about why they have been preparing and seem to be planning to take people to the places where they have to vote for the government if the election is a way that i dictatorship i'm election to happen in venezuela. government boxes of subsidized food are being distributed among the more than one hundred

sixty families living in this abandoned building. this is where we write people's names this woman got two boxes another only one we don't want to get confused we're all struggling here this sunday i have to go and vote. we were told voting is an obligation here if they want to continue receiving government help but many are frustrated even though the government has built millions of houses around the country those living here have been waiting for years for their return to live in a better place. and has been here for four years she lives with her husband and two children in this small room and says feeding her family is a struggle every day. sometimes my children told me i'm hungry i'm hungry a don't know what to do i get desperate because we don't have anything. and that's

why this boxes have become crucial in venezuela these days they cost fifty cents every month the people living here receive this boxes from the government they're known as flaps inside you can find some sugar some faster some two bottles of oil milk among other things this is supposed to last for a month but people tell us that it only lasts eight days if you look around this is the only food available in this household. the economic situation in venezuela will play a big role in sunday's results as people are struggling around the country rampant inflation shortages of staple foods and basic medicines have dented the government's popularity. venezuela is going through a deep crisis we think that if the opposition had one in twenty fifteen and the situation had got worse in the following years then we believe the opposition vote

would probably be increased even more the government is doing everything possible to win here because it's located in the state of media and that has been traditionally controlled by the opposition. but even though those present here told us they will be voting on sunday it is not clear whether the government has done enough to win their vote so is this really a test of mr maduro whether he can work with people whether he is the authoritarian potentially a dictator that his critics say here. while this election is very important for both for the government and for the opposition for the government a bit away in a way to show that this is not a dictatorship that constitutional order had not been brokerage here that the election should have happened last year and they were told because of the economic and political crisis but now they're happening the government also wants to at home and abroad let's not forget that already. united states have imposed sanctions so

many people got out of the conflict the governorship have been bought a chevy equinox of the socialist party here and if that changes the government use the power in some of the here we have this will definitely so that the government has not a lot of support in the country for the opposition it is the way of showing that there's frank is not only on the streets but also in the ballot it is definitely a preview for a better tell you will presidential elections that are supposed to be happening next year to raise a thanks very much. spain's catalonia region has held a ceremony to remember a former independence leader who was executed in one nine hundred forty catalonia as current president his peach once was at the service in barcelona he is under pressure from the government in madrid which has given him until monday to say whether he'll declare independence after last month's controversial referendum. women in india admit administered kashmir are being targeted for having long hair but nobody knows who is doing it or why the attacks are causing panic us out of

care that explains. the females in srinagar city are scared they've been protesting every day against a series of mysterious attacks targeting them since september at least two hundred women have reported having their hair cut off by most us which is someone you want to give to people asked me for water i was wearing a headscarf but one still managed to chop my hair off and the now the snatch my bangle then they threw me down on the ground there were some was at home when her attacker knocked her out with a roll she came round in a hospital but it was only then she realised how braided hair had been sliced off do you see. this is an attack on our honor this is how they have been terrorizing us this is the proof. many victims were left unconscious after being sprayed in the face with chemicals only to wake up to an unexpected surprise much shorter hair but

because once i came outside and i saw two men approaching they spray something in my face then i don't remember anything but my head was cut off was thinking sims are accusing the police of not doing enough to end these attacks and that's despite a ten thousand dollar reward to catch the culprits was not scared of going outside even for buying vegetables the government has failed to provide security and safety for the women as of now only god can save us from these broad choppers but the police deny this and say widespread mass hysteria and panic is making the situation worse and needs to stop this is putting i would appreciate. and emergency operations this is helping the moment of other sources from one place to another because you know everybody's been so. thank god so much so that while the police haven't arrested and wrongfully attacks they've come
