and a half million people have been displaced in the fighting between the group and the nigerian government or do you mean out and joins us from nigeria's capital a first of all jamila do we have any more information about this attack on the mosque and i demolish state. well what we know basically is it happened as people were preparing to go to their morning prayers and that it isn't the first time that an attack in the area happened this area is critical movie because you want to have under the control of the book group in two thousand and fourteen it took more than a month before the nigerian army was able to live liberated but that fact that not stopped last year a similar attack happened in a mosque which left at least fifty people dead another incident again happened which has left at least twenty three billion that so this comes at a critical time as you mentioned earlier that the jury an army again launched an

intensive operation around the league of chad where it is believed that about a several book our members who are with allegiance and connections to isolate are actually based out of nowthen a syrian army has put a deadline for it to finish the presence of the book around at least about four months but many question whether that is possible given that majority of the focus is on a military solution and not a societal went yeah that's right because nigerian government has been claiming for a while now that it's winning or that it's won this battle against book around but now when we see these attacks that still happen in the northeast of the country is this part of an ongoing this surge in violence or are the attacks more isolated it's. well it's hard to say we just look at the history of the attack in that area it's clear that you know the war on has always tried to make its presence felt in this area a president who hari met up with u.s.

president donald trump yesterday in washington and they reiterated their commitment basically out through a new arms deal which would bring about. a new batch of aircraft surveillance capabilities which will be used in twenty twenty. to write the book or on group but there is the sense of urgency at this point because the rhetoric broke i don't try to end the president has already been amplified by the visit in washington and of course that because it's election season through next year where president worry is hoping to basically run for another term pressure is on his government basically took will kill his initial crime is to end the presence of the book or a group before his first term and this year all right well thanks very much from. the junior allen dugan with the latest on that story well at least eight people have died in an attack on in the capital of the central african republic gunman

a building in iran where he says israeli intelligence agencies had found the evidence but in vienna a former director of analysis for the international atomic energy agency isn't impressed netanyahu speech is the dates are all missing everything he presented it appears to be related to developing nuclear weapons is longer growers where there is nothing he presented about the former weapons program are there is news but netanyahu says the iranian program didn't end in two thousand and three it continued in secret the iran deal the nuclear deal is based on laws it's based on iranian lies any rein in deception one hundred thousand files right here. prove that their logs at the white house donald trump like what he saw and heard i think of anything what's happening today and what's happened over the last little while and what we've learned. has really

shown that i've been one hundred percent right iran's foreign minister dismissed the allegations saying in this tweet breaking the boy who can't stop crying wolf is at it again undeterred by cartoon fiasco at the u.n. general assembly you can only fool some of the people so many times whatever the words action could come soon trump will announce his decision on the iran deal by the twelfth of this month in a statement the i.a.e.a. refers to a twenty fifteen report that found some activities two years earlier relevant to the development of a nuclear device but nothing after two thousand and nine britain and france have said the development from israel does not change their view in support of the deal and other signatories remain steadfastly against the way the u.s. appears to be leaning and drew simmons al-jazeera or the white house was forced to correct its response to netanyahu allegations because of what it called

a clerical error in a written statement as press secretary initially said the israeli information shows iran has a robust plan to stay in nuclear weapons program but shortly after the has it was changed to had the difference matters because if iran has nuclear program was still in place now that would violate the two thousand and fifteen agreement. it was instantly abuzz with means after benjamin netanyahu delivered his iran speech on monday one user change the israeli prime minister's graphic that originally read iran lied to i lied while others made references to the controversy surrounding stormy daniels in the us as well as popular disney movie the lion king sometimes he uses speculated that netanyahu deliberately made the presentation basic to appeal to president all trumps attention span. well media is parliament is voting for a new prime minister after weeks of protests for so the resignation of the former leader's search circassian

and often appears in public in a callous large t. shirt and cap but he swapped them for a jacket and tie to seek election by parliament as prime minister. i understand that the vote goes the people who demand i say prefer people are fed up with the system and the republican party which you know. i expect that nicole push union will become our prime minister we support him. we don't expect anybody else let him become a leader. we expect snicko passion yon will become our prime minister this is what we are waiting for we will be glad if he takes the post. a twenty six story building has collapsed after being engulfed by fire in sao paolo killing one person and leaving at least three missing around one hundred seventy firefighters were called to the scene of the blaze early on tuesday local reports say the abandoned building was occupied by around one hundred fifty people including many homeless

hello there we've got lots of wet weather across parts of china at the moment if we look at the charts over the next few days we can see plenty of rain over chengdu and then all the way towards the east might see your shower there for us in shanghai as well there's also showers pushing for the south as well so forth over the northern parts of vietnam is also looking pretty wet the whole system gradually sinks its way south as we head through the day on say so again vietnam on up towards the province we're likely to see a few outbreaks of rain to the north about though it is looking a bit dry a say for shanghai will get to around twenty six degrees and this should be bright weather around as well meanwhile if we head across towards india and bangladesh we can see these huge showers that we've had with us they've given us a lot of heavy downpours on a lot of thunder and lightning as well the fairly typical for the time of year so do expect a fair few more of those as we head through the next couple of days they gradually drift their way eastwards expect those then on wednesday and on thursday as well

meanwhile elsewhere fine and dry but incredibly hot now not poor has already touched forty five degrees and i think will be hovering around that over the next few days in the far north where there's more in the way of cloud and that could give us a few showers that's also affecting us in the far northern parts of afghanistan and into pakistan as well. the fact. this morning focused on the planet one that could soon be lost forever but an international team of scientists is determined not to let that happen without intervention to give the biggest i would say here to at best now it's a race against time to try and save the beach. thank you chris no it's in the majesty plan they've all extinction techno on all disease.

welcome back you with al-jazeera a look at the headlines at least twenty four people have been killed by explosions in and around a mosque in our demolished state nor in northeastern nigeria many are blaming poke around for the attack the un's nuclear watchdog says it has no credible evidence to back allegations by israel's prime minister that iran has secretly continued its nuclear program and armenia's parliament is due to vote for a new prime minister opposition leader and called by she needs the support of ruling party m.p.'s in order to win he is warning of a political tsunami on the streets if he's blocked. when all the stories we're

looking at a un security council team has demanded a full investigation take place into atrocities allegedly committed against her hand to muslims in myanmar and that the un be granted unconditional access to the affected areas the delegates have held talks with me a mazda facto leader unsung suchi as well as the head of the country's military on tuesday they visited rank of villages in rock and state that were burned by military forces as part of a brutal crackdown launched last august many refugees have told the security council team that soldiers would kill and rape bring the villages during these raids. chief as promised the un that he will punish anybody found guilty of sexual assault florence louis has been following events for us from kuala lumpur. this visit to myanmar by un security council envoys is primarily to assess whether conditions exist in northern rakhine state for the safe return of refugees who fled to bangladesh in the last few months it's not a fact finding mission u.n.

investigators are still barred from entering the country and it's very likely that this visit to northern rakhine state would have been like other visits by other foreign delegates and independent media tightly controlled by the government now the un envoy is we know also had meetings with myanmar leader aung san suu kyi and the military commander in chief so this press conference on tuesday follows on from these two events now at the press conference the delegates chose their words rather carefully they talked about how they wanted to see a repatriation agreement between myanmar and bangladesh implemented with the u.n. overseeing it they talked about how they will continue to evaluate how they can improve conditions on the ground that facilitate the safe return of refugees but there was very little discussions of what sorts of conditions will need to exist for that to happen. refugees have said they want justice for the people who've been

killed by the military during the crackdown that began in august they want compensation for lands seized houses that were burned down and of course most importantly basic recognition of human rights they want freedom of movement they want to be able to access government services like health care and schools but this will be the main sticking point and this will be this is the main issue and of course there was very little discussion of that because this is an extremely sensitive topic for the myanmar government which does not recognize the ranger as citizens of myanmar. north and south korea have started dismantling loudspeakers that were used to blare out cold war style propaganda across the border as follows friday's historic summit between the leaders of both countries they also agreed to work towards denuclearization and the last thing peace treaty. u.s. president donald trump says he likes the idea of meeting kim jong un at the peace

house where last week's summit took place. all amount of questions that robert miller will supposedly ask president trampas part of his russia probe of reportedly been leaked donald trump slammed the disclosure on twitter calling it disgraceful and a witch hunt us media says the list contains at least forty questions for the president including trump's ties to russia and other questions designed to determine whether he obstructed the inquiry itself a special counsel is probing russia's alleged interference in the two thousand and sixteen presidential election let's get more on this from patty call hane in washington is there anything new in this reporting patty. you know there really is a couple of things a lot of the subjects that are focus of this questions we've had a general idea that miller was looking into it and i want to point out this was in the new york times not at all clear that the muller team actually wrote out these questions they could have given the trump lawyers the general topics and they put those into these questions but one of them very specifically raises new questions

that we didn't know before and says what did the president know about outreach from members of his to his campaign including his once campaign chairman paul mann afford to russia now here's why that's significant we know man a ford is facing several charges dozens of charges for things like money laundering and tax evasion we know that he's had ties to ukrainian politicians who were connected to russians we know that the russians tried to talk to the trunk campaign offered to give them dirt because junior released e-mails save exactly that what we haven't heard before is that the trump campaign was actively reaching out to officials in russia for assistance with the election so that was a bit new the other thing that struck me is it said did who in your team talk to michael flynn about immunity or a possible pardon after he resigned now that would be interesting michael flynn was a former national security advisor he had to resign later charged because he had

a conversation with the russian ambassador in the transition before the president was inaugurated lied to the f.b.i. about it admitted in court that he lied to investigators as down cooperating with the miller investigation so it appears that someone in the trunk campaign at least according to miller's information dangled a pardon or immunity beef in front of him before he had that please so that could be another part of a case of obstruction of justice right and we know that that question of the obstruction of justice is the key focus all of the middle of what tell us more about how the reaction from president trump because he's been lashing out on twitter again. yes on twitter his favorite way of speaking and he wrote seems hard to obstruct justice for a crime that never happened obviously the president is not a lawyer because if he was or if he was even listening to his lawyers he would know that's not how this works it doesn't matter if there's an underlying crime that can be proven if you try to obstruct justice that in it's self is a crime and that's

a lot of what the moeller questions are what were you thinking when you fired the f.b.i. director while he was investigating you was it as you told the russians because of the russia probe what was your intent and they have to be able to prove that he intended to obstruct justice so the president's tweet in defense of that doesn't make any sense it's not actually factual he said it was disgraceful that these were leaked important point out the new york times themselves said that they were leaks from people outside the trumps legal team so this isn't coming from muller he's leaked absolutely nothing this entire time that we can tell this is from the president trump's own people likely trying to send a message to him don't sit down with robert muller it could be a huge mistake remember it is a crime to lie to federal investigators and they also went on twitter saying look there are no questions about collusion it all of those questions that were listed which is absolutely ridiculous because a lot of the questions are exactly looking into the possibility of collusion so to two tweets three statements all of them not factual. thank you thank you patty

calling in washington. a former member of the irish republican army has told al jazeera that it could lead to a resumption of the conflict that person is comments came as the european union's breaks it negotiate she was visiting the city of london derry derry as it's also known. that british government to commit to staying in the customs union in order to prevent a hot border with ireland in breach of the good finding peace agreement aren't any reports. just a pony a certainly putting the miles in he's been all over ireland and here he was to be with business owners except in a city that source so much violence he had a chance to stress the importance of breakfast or to me not managing the pieces we are all going great need for should we be able to maintain the best fast agreement in all directions. the city still has two names londonderry for the process and unionists a with the river derry for catholic irish nationalists who never took

down the signs of protest against what they saw as british occupation the ira force on the streets until recently it felt like a long time ago anybody under the age of thirty could have no real idea about just how bad things used to be here but clearly the fact that they built a piece bridge to join up the ones divided communities tells you everything you need to know they had of course assume that the troubles were a thing of the past that they could never happen again but then again they haven't thought about bricks it's. the border with the republic of ireland is just a five minute drive out of the city and as of now you switch countries without any sign of the present when thomas was growing up the road was blocked and the british forces were everywhere for republicans it was a constant reminder of a divided dial and just like a hard border would be off the bricks it would reinforce those protests and on the island of us starts really what it takes is

a fight. the physical manifestation of it the division of the vision. plays in the face of our going avoid the the great good friday agreement before their deal with the british government. you know the won't respect the agreements that they make the national agreements of the make the only way to go is to get a little get away from us and the only way we can do that here is for a near. term it's friendly i'm right he drives a taxi but he used to be an ira member and was in prison fifteen. so do you reckon there are dissident republicans who might regards the reemergence of the whole border as an opportunity oh i think so yes you know because i think they're phase it's a shoot yeah yeah yeah because at the moment the hank and i don't have any time for them to balance what the heck they're fine that for the hard he actually. set up with a recall operations but a for certain the border they don't have to operate from the north. in the field

and just. fire and that's the problem and i thank i don't like a couple of it now but there will be keyboard and there will be sorely tempted idiot commentators often say that bricks it could destabilize the peace agreement in ireland but don't explain how in reality it means that every single country lane on the border would be heavily policed and would cause enormous disruption to border communities which already have historical suspicion of britain. rex's in england talk all the time about taking back control people here it would be economically and socially disastrous and it is not an exaggeration to say it could lead to violence bardsley al-jazeera northern ireland. people have been taking to the streets around the world to mark may day the day that celebrates workers and their campaigns for improved labor rights in turkey dozens of people were detained after
