business updates. going places together and. the biggest discovery of. what to do with these resources is already a source of heated debate nothing much has changed. for. five years on the syrians still feel battered or even those who managed to escape

their country have been truly unable to escape the war. this is al jazeera. hello i'm daryn jordan this is the art as they were news hour live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes. in the bangladeshi capital killing at least seventy people. propose the last i saw a whole lot in syria is on the brink of falling as remaining civilians are due to be evacuated. roman catholic bishops hold a summit with the pope on the church's sexual abuse problems but not everyone

thinks it will make a difference and spoil you vented thank. for the champions league set back when all those team are beaten to an elbow in the first leg of their last sixteen tie. we begin this news hour in bangladesh where at least seventy people have been killed in a large fire in the capital dhaka the blaze broke out in the congested old city and a multi-story residential complex which also a chemical where else let's see o'brien reports. firefighters in dhaka struggle to bring the inferno under control battling a wall of flames amid the chaos of crowded alleyways. the blaze broke out night on wednesday evening in the area of the bangladeshi capital and in the crammed old city it quickly spread to surrounding buildings by plastics and chemical warehouses

. witnesses told local media that gas cylinders in the buildings and. splendid one after another. and vehicles gridlocked in nearby streets soon caught up in the flames. i saw with my own eyes that a sudden massive bang with fire and shock waves totally destroyed the roadside i was on a rickshaw when the explosion took place i don't think my rickshaw driver is a log anymore. this mangled wreckage is all that's left now as emergency workers calm the rubble for bodies they don't expect to find any more survivors. in the hospital nearby distraught families crowd around lists of the living and the deed it's a scene that's been repeated far too often in bangladesh building five a common because of whom in full screen. hundreds have been killed in recent years this latest fire only adding to that tally. on al-jazeera.

he joins us live now from dhaka tumbi a somewhat more science are emerging about the fly and the latest details on casualties. well the rescue operation formally ended by the. mayor of the city dock now we know a lot of relatives and friends are crowding in that document to go hospital looking for of their loved ones at least thirty one bodies have been identified so far the medical authorities say that many of the bodies of men are. and may be subject to a d.n.a. test meanwhile relatives are flocking to read. putting their missing relatives name so that they can find out if any of them are in among the seventy bodies that are in the medical hospital morgue. as rescue operation that is formally and that

didn't find any more new bodies it took at least fifteen hours the fire and that. listen now there are twenty plus hours to bring everything under control. this is a very crowded area a lot of people are able to go in those who have a home there but most of the other people i respect that to enter the fire zone because it's still quite dangerous because at least several multi-story building that were damaged during the fire are still very vulnerable now just to give you a context of the old city dhaka is very different from the new city of dhaka it's extremely crowded very densely populated there's a combination of commercial living quaters restaurants all together and the streets are very narrow in a busy day you could barely walk and this happened yesterday according to local people there was a small wedding procession going when that explosion took place there's some confusion as to how that fire actually took place local witnesses are saying they

had an explosion and saw a pickup truck blew up at least several feet up in the air and that explosion started a chain reaction because there were a restaurant nearby and the cylinders exploded which spread into the white house where there was a lot of chemical fire perfume factory is highly inflamed label and that's the major disaster took place but a lot of people died on the spot when the explosion took place when that wedding procession took place so things are very tragic what people are looking for what what now how is this going to be. how this going to be enforced it's been ten years since another several disaster happened like this on two thousand and ten just nearby another similar explosion took place where at least a hundred and twenty three people some people are blaming them those who own the buildings they sort of chemical when i was within this highly densely populated area this enforcement and public awareness is the critical part off to avoid such

future danger all right the time the child in dhaka town of thank you. well buildings in bangladesh are often used to both residential and commercial purposes and the country has a poor fire safety record at least twenty seven people died and more than one hundred were injured after a fire engulfed the high street retailer gap's factory just outside dhaka in twenty ten two years later one hundred twelve workers were killed when another clothing factory caught fire and in twenty thirteen a building collapse on the outskirts of the capital killed more than a thousand in twenty fifteen thirteen people perished in that plastics fire factory and a year later twenty four people died and dozens more injured when a blast ripped through a package and three the u.s. backed forces in syria say they expect to rescue the remaining civilians from the eastern village of bugaboos in the coming hours that's where the battle for control of eisold last remaining territories taking place syrian democratic forces say the armed group is fighting to the death well on wednesday more than two thousand men

women and children were evacuated from bugaboos it's believed eisel fighters had been using them as human shields we know syrian forces are getting assistance from their iraqi neighbors who are determined to stop iceland members from fleeing across the board a hundred fifty fighters were handed to iraqi security forces on thursday more and that's not a minute but first we can talk to him and can who's in gaza enter on the turkey syria border him and sort of bring us up to date with the latest on the offensive to take bad news what's happening with the fighting on the ground in. well the fighting has slightly slowed down as the civilians have been taken away now we're hearing that it's not just civilians that have been taken away in those convoys of trucks of left village as well some. also surrounded and have been moved to a prison now this is the process that takes place.

brides and. children as well is very different so you actually go to a prison where they're interrogated entertained the eyes of wives and children actually go to a whole camp in an s.d.f. controlled area where they separated from the civilians but kept in a nother camp awaiting to be protests by either the home country or by the syrian democratic forces themselves but until the resolutions of the conflict it's likely that they're going to be held in that camp now as far as the fighting goes what we're waiting for is for the old player from the syrian democratic pollsters and then they'll go into the village itself after the village is almost completely destroyed but there are tunnels underneath the village and that's where the ice will flights is hiding out and all the i support we're going to suggest that this is the hard core of the fighters we will fight to the death i have to say that territory that i still have left i have left is less than one square kilometer and

iran what about the residents who've been caught up in the fighting that you've just been talking about i mean some as you say have been evacuated but many more still remain trapped. well we don't know the amount of civilians left certainly two thousand civilians is the number the s.d.f. are reporting that they've evacuated from the village that might well be the end of it at the very beginning of this we heard that there were some six thousand civilians but people have been leaving so that may well be civilians still trapped in that village and that's why the s.t.'s haven't gone in but as you can imagine getting real numbers is very very difficult because we have having to rely on that the syrian democratic forces and what they're telling us but we do know that two thousand people did leave so if they're all civilians still left because the fighting take place today into all those civilians have left if they've all left that we can a much and we can see movement and we can see the battle continue thank you. well as we mentioned the iraqi military is on the high alert eisel fighters

who attempt to flee across the border there are concerns that members could try and regroup in areas once controlled by eisel in north and west iraq that has more now from mosul. iraq the forces far more to my soul targets across the syrian border the village of bug who's the last i still controlled territory in syria isn't far from here the mainly kurdish u.s. backed syrian democratic forces or s.d.f. estimate there are around three hundred eisel fight is still inside the iraqi military and pro iran armed groups are determined to stop them escaping across into iraq. they've set up cameras around ten kilometers inside syrian territory to monitor eisel fighters as the s.d.f. offensive goes on while the iraqi military operation against eisel across the border in syria continue we on this side are fortifying our positions we have

installed thermal surveillance cameras across the border inside syria territory there is joint cooperation with us the pro iran armed groups and the tribal sheikhs we are getting aerial support from the u.s. led coalition u.s. intelligence says eisel evolved from the last remnants of al qaida in iraq and by two thousand and fifteen it controlled around ninety thousand kilometers of territory across syria and iraq an international coalition of more than seventy countries has been involved in the fight to reclaim that territory. this is old. square more than four years ago. he declared himself. what he described as the caliphate that was fighting continues on the syrian side of the border against the last. fight is there a fear of i still sleep among iraqis living close by. these are

iraqi military checkpoints around the town of heat in western anbar province. weisel was defeated here in two thousand and fifteen but sleeper cells have kidnapped and murdered a number of people in recent weeks. and his wife son sit with their grandchildren at the home they both suffered under the brutality of isis rule and terrified by the thought the group could ever one day return. to more s.d.f. in syria have pushed toward the border the more difficult it has become for iraqis to work in the countryside nearby there i saw in the desert around here it's terrible that i kidnap innocent people the government and the army need to thoroughly search this area because i still are still hiding here the people here have suffered so much on their i celebrity. the head of iraq's intelligence says eisel fight is a regrouping and recruiting mainly in the rural areas of north and west in iraq they want controlled u.s.

military intelligence believes the territorial battle against eisel across syria and iraq has been won. but the fights against small groups of fighters and sympathizers across this region will go on. mosul. a u.s. born woman who traveled to syria to join iceland twenty fourteen has been barred from returning to america who says she made a mistake and wants to return with her eighteen month old son but secretary of state mike pompei o says the twenty four year old has no legal basis to claim citizenship he did not explain why madonna is not considered a u.s. citizen a lawyer says she was born in new jersey and held a valid passport. she's absolutely an american national she's absolutely an american citizen she was born in the united states in new jersey and she did not do anything to renounce her citizenship and all she's asking right now is for due process the president of the united states does not have the authority to strip citizenship from those born on u.s.

soil and she's willing to pay whatever debts she has to society she's not asking for a free pass we were you know on behalf of her family we were the ones who contacted the f.b.i. when we first learned that without went to syria this is something that we absolutely condemn in the strongest of terms and the families always wanted her to come back and to face the legal system that we all believe in and now she's willing to do that and the government and i think it's missing out on a tremendous opportunity to one gain intelligence from her and to really be able to utilize her as a strong voice against a monstrous groups like isis that have brainwashed many individuals and manipulated them to do horrible things that i think somebody like could. sing isis speaking out against them at great risk to her personal life is a sign a victory for the u.s. lots more still to come here on the news hour including depleted but not defeated the afghan army has front offensive to recapture territory from the taliban. and hashtag not too young to run find out how social media is getting the nigerian

youth to bring about change and it's a formula one team struggling to even make it to the start line summer is here with that story. the army commanders in afghanistan say they're confident a spring offensive will help in taking back large areas of territory from the town about twenty one districts to fall into the armed group in recent months the fighting has resulted in the army's highest ever losses while its strength has fallen to its lowest level in years to anybody reports from kabul. this remote afghan army outpost is one of thousands nationwide often i see. and in inhospitable areas they are the first line of defense against taliban and i saw fighters as well as the most wonderful. the greys of foreign soldiers since the u.s. pulled out its ground forces three years ago the afghan army has borne the brunt of the fighting with the taliban and the casualties inflicting ever greater casualties

and forces the number of casualties or dozens of people have lost the meaning of body counting we have become indifferent officially the government says forty five thousand members of the security services have been killed since two thousand and fifteen and officially afghan analysts say that number could easily be doubled the overall army strength has dropped to its lowest level in years as the military confronts its biggest ever crisis but army chiefs maintain that morale remains good. we have a volunteer army but it's their own choice to serve it is no doubt that we suffer a lot. of disabled but our morale is high because the goal is freedom and to serve the people of afghanistan and. in the past few months the military has lost control of more than twenty areas to taliban fighters who seem able to strike anywhere.

in total we have lost twenty one districts in all over afghanistan it is because of the change in tactics on the ground so we are planning a spring offensive where it will take two to three months to retake all these districts from the taliban but real reimposed the rule of law. eight thousand recruits every year pass out of this training center in the capital kabul most of them are trained by afghan instructors taught by western military experts who despite the high casualty rate young men are still volunteering to fight it's partly out of a sense of duty but it's also because of the dire economic situation here they face the stark choice. i do stay at home and enjoy your poverty or face the taliban and risk death or injury i definitely yes and it's my duty to fight for my country when our freedom i'm not afraid of the taliban for the magazine other stuff i hadn't gone to the army i had nothing else planned professional soldiers say ideally

training should last a minimum of a year in afghanistan it's three months that. we would like more time but we make the most of what time we do have and when they leave here they're able to fight the taliban. but the question is how able are they to fight effectively army pay is low the conditions poor and since the american ground forces left backup is limited recruits are taught to shoot but equally importantly they are taught emergency battlefront first aid increasingly important because of the shortage of medivac helicopters that was a bomb disposal experts for seven years until an explosion blew off both his legs he's one of a growing number of disabled war veterans discharged from the military and when this most. i have no regret i am proud that i have contributed to the fans of michael three and my second was in pursuit of peace my people and my

country. but there is little help for heroes in afghanistan the father of four receives a meager disability pension of two hundred seventy dollars a year but he hasn't received any money for eight months and he can't afford further medical treatment. the afghan military has come a long way in the last eighteen years but is it far enough and if and when the u.s. forces finally withdraw completely will the afghans be able to stand alone tony berkeley al jazeera kabul. well the taliban negotiation team will hold its next round of talks on monday it's also sending a delegation to pakistan to meet with washington's peace envoy. and pakistani leaders excuse me tell you is that a former ambassador to afghanistan held extensive talks with the taliban last month in qatar's capital doha where the group has an office those talks are still ongoing the proposed meeting in islamabad will boost pakistan's influence in the peace process but is

a setback for the afghan government the taliban has refused to meet with president ashraf ghani will have the board that is an afghan security analyst who joins us live now from kabul. the next round of peace talks between the u.s. and the taliban takes place on monday so how has the afghan government been viewing these talks given that they've been excluded from them so far. well that's that's said he ality that the african government has been sidelined from the peace talks and that's not a comfort zone for the african government president is on the over the past few months has been claiming that he has a plan and he has a strategy for the african peace process and the whole plan is making sure that there is some sort of respectability for the african government and for the african people in it and the plan also and got a case to the games that we have had over the past eighteen years are not lost but we heard again two to three weeks ago that he has called for a ground council

a consultative council recorded the grand royal jigga where he is going to call and the people of understand the elders of these callers woman and consult him about the peace process which contradicts sr previous stand the taliban are gridlocked and in talking to the afghan government because i believe that the afghan government is the one that is installed by the united states led coalition and of understand and therefore deal with what you want to talk to the americans and the first place. to add so just to add just to add a no no i was not very just to add another obstacle to the talks i mean afghanistan's foreign ministry has summoned the pakistani ambassador his remarks that afghan peace talks could be affected if india results of violence often last week's attack on indian troops in kashmir so how is the kashmir dispute likely to play into this do you think. so there's a there's a there's

a long historical debate that talks about the roads to kabul. kashmir meaning that until and unless you don't have the pakistanis in the indians dawned sort of settle discussion issue peace will not be distorting of londonistan that's one factor to it. the reason that the african foreign ministry summoned. the embassador was for his remarks just like you said but the other reason is that the afghan government looks at. the taliban as a proxy off the pakistani government and back and taliban on the other hand if you recall when mohammad been sort of man was dead in pakistan the taliban were supposed to meet and run khan and mohammed bin sunline but they can so did citing that the afghan government that the afghan government sort of rejected their troubles because they are under do you travel bans the taliban proved that they are and dependent and they are not and did the pakistani and the pakistani influence

and also the saudi influence and they are a cancer to the. talks that what happened what was supposed to happen two weeks ago let me come with a final question to you because there are signs that the u.s. and the taliban have agreed in principle on the withdrawal of u.s. troops but reports indicate the president may be looking to withdraw perhaps half of those troops by the summer is that likely then to further frustrate the afghan government who as you say pretty much been sidelined in these talks so far. yes so they have agreed in principle that the taliban would sort of draw support to al qaeda and the likes of al-qaeda and the us would withdraw. this has frustrated the afghan government because and of the day when when you eliminate the international military support could the african army and it face all sorts of problems and therefore decided by will of the afghan government will come under question no matter how much the afghan government claims in bragg's that the keeper

but the dead are a lot of flaws in the afghan government is facing all sort of challenges so to be very difficult for the afghan government and the survival we have elections within the next four months what happens to the elections when we have more than fifty percent of that idea in the control of taliban or i did sort of contested so it's not a very uncomfort it's a very uncomfortable position for the afghan government all together we have to leave it there thank you very much indeed for your time. now saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin as arrived in china as he continues his tour of asian nations his visit will include a meeting with president xi jinping aimed at boosting relations the crown prince's visit comes as china faces growing international criticism over its treatment of its muslim minority groups. the head of the roman catholic church says the religious body needs to heal the wounds left by decades of sexual abuse by priests pope francis has been speaking at a meeting of bishops to address the scandal and call for concrete and effective

measures many of those abused by priests around the world are also attending the event of vatican city you don't see. the plea of sexual abuse by the church is made against minors i thought to consult you because all together we should hear the holy spirit and listen to the cry of the young who will justice the weight of pastor and ecclesiastic responsibility which forces us to discuss this together is a burden on our meeting about how to face this evil which afflicts the church and the whole of humanity the holy people of god are watching us and wait not just for simple and expected conviction but concrete and effective measures. challenge joins us live now from vatican city rory so how significant is this summit which is being led by the pope and what's been said today. well i think as you can hear from what the pope just said he is aware that this is

a deep crisis for the catholic church and what he has said about this event is that it is an attempt really to restore the credibility of the church around the world that's why he's brought all of these high up clergy from their different positions different corners of the globe here to the vatican so that he can essentially house them realize the extent of the crisis the suffering that has been gone through by so many people over the years and for these pledges to realize that it is their responsibility collectively to do something about it now we are not expecting a final documents or anything like that so come out of this four day meeting what will happen afterwards is that the talking that's been done will get fed into an organizing committee and is that organizing committee over the next weeks or so

that will put together some sort of action plan and it's that action plan that the pope hopes will deliver concrete action i'm sure what about the abuse victims themselves i mean how are they feeling and are their voices being. well this is a source of some considerable anger i have to say we were with a group of survivors yesterday who had come to the vatican to put their point across and also to have a meeting they thought with the pope himself they went into that meeting fully expecting the pope francis would be there and when they came out some two hours later they were pretty dissatisfied that he hadn't shown up that he had sent a delegation of bishops instead they thought that this was a sign of disrespect and they are also upset that they are not really being factored in as much as they would like into this meeting itself they're not being

invited in the testimony that is being given to all these happened inside this meeting is mainly being done by video video testimonies and these people would like a chance to stand up there and question these clergy themselves to get some answers what they would like they have said is zero tolerance essentially zero tolerance for priests who abuse children and zero tolerance for those who cover up that abuse as well they would like all of those clergy to be kicked out to be removed from the priesthood and they're worried that what is going on here in the vatican over the next few days unless it does deliver concrete action is just going to be window dressing and another talking shop all right a royal challenge there in vatican city thank you now is the battle for the young vote in nigeria two men in their seventy's are contesting the presidential election

on saturday in which half the registered voters are below the age of thirty five when interest reports from nigeria's young new voters say they are the change their country needs they want to see more young nigerians in politics but admit that it's not easy in a country why running for office is expensive. but they know what they want from those they would be voting for.
