several african leaders meeting in cairo to urge to die and to complete his transition to civilian rule within three months. the man who wants another five years in office india's prime minister cast his vote in the world's largest election. and i'm we're hard in here with all of your day's sport the bucks are on a roll we'll have action from a crucial night and n.b.a. playoffs coming up later the scenes are a. prime minister says those behind sunday's attacks that killed three hundred twenty one people may have had links to i still and ronald singer says some of the suicide bombers may have traveled abroad before the attacks now it's a national day of mourning for the victims of sunday's suicide bombings which included forty five. children mass funerals have been held throughout the country

and people observed three minutes of silence sri lanka media showing security camera footage of the moment one suspect entered a church and the gumbo before blowing himself up explosions ripped through several churches and hotels targeting worshipers and tourists so far they have been around forty suspects right we can go live now to colombo's free to our correspondent minow fernandez and minal it's been a day of many developments in sri lanka but first of all start us off with the prime minister who held a press conference and open in self up to media questions. that's right martin centrally he met with foreign journalists foreign correspondents and he took questions he pretty much answered all the questions that we've put to him he did say that there had been

a breach obviously we had heard that from him before but he did say that they were looking into how this sort of vacuum happened where the did not take the information that was a vailable and take measures to actually prevent such attacks they said there'd been a lot of things that had been coming in through investigations a number of arrests he said there are a number of areas and avenues which the police and law of enforcement authorities are pursuing there are lots of leads coming out and there's a lot of information that the zeroing in on he did say that there are number of suspects that are on the run he did say that there are concerns and authorities are aware that some of these suspects and perpetrators that are on the run may be armed and that they might have further explosives with them so that the authorities are working very hard to ensure that these people are circled up reined in and

basically caught i asked him particularly if it view to that sort of security breach in terms of how these warnings that possible attacks were going to happen fell through the cracks what happened and if the reports that there were ten political tensions between the prime minister and the president how much of a rule that played in allowing these attacks to happen without the relevant authorities taking precautions to prevent them here's what he had to say. i am with the president i hope with the president that he took place and we agreed i mean that the police curfew and downforce of come out and we discussed this on monday and decided to bring the emergency for certain purposes only limited purposes. we had a meeting at the i mean we are due for itself medium but that's been thrashed out and somehow look we've got to get the country out of this problem i don't think we

can start pushing for a senator she was in front. so there we saw a prime minister would go missing and not really dealing with the fundamental issue and that is the of this spectacular failure of communication all that's the way it appears which perhaps could have prevented this loss of life the other main issue is this claim now coming from eisel and many of the members of the government in suggesting that there was some outside involvement in these attacks. martin as the authorities could try and investigate all possibilities all lines and avenues that lead to this konitz on easter sunday in sri lanka one of the lines of questioning in investigations is this whole claim that somehow isis was involved coming out of cairo which the prime minister referred to he did see

that there was investigations that there were sort of essentially attention being focused on that but bear in mind that an attack of this nature of this she has ferocity many analysts have expressed. some kind of basically reservations that it could have been put together in five weeks particularly in light of claims that it might have been a response or a counterattack to that. attack by extra an extremist on a mosque in new zealand in christchurch i mean five weeks to put together an operation of this nature. audacious in it she has. and reach is something that people have begun to quickly know that organization better than one has in the past stepped up to the plate and gone ahead and claimed

responsibility for things that they have not necessarily been behind so i guess the authorities are very much keeping their options open they have to be willing to take in all possibilities at this time and that is what the prime minister looted to he did say they're looking at this claim in fact he said defense minister on visual than i had mentioned it earlier in the day in parliament so that's what the authorities are doing keeping their options open and pushing every single line of inquiry martin now financing thank you thank you very much talking to us live from the sri lankan capital well. people have been burying their dead mass funerals have been taking part across the country as part of tuesday's national day of mourning more than one hundred people were killed at st sebastian church in the gumbo alone and that's just north of the capital al-jazeera is charles stratford is there the.

where felt very sorry and i can explain my. very painful. gumbo is often referred to by locals as sri lanka's row it is the country's catholic heartland now so many people were killed in the suicide attack at this church on easter sunday that there is not enough room in the main cemetery to bury all the dead a priest leads the funeral procession to the grave yard. there will be many more people buried here over the coming days. we really know what is going on right now and really no one didn't they killed us so. even though they killed us we need to tell them those who did this before gurira because our lord says' to do so we are we are we are believing. one true god yes. jesus christ of

nazareth he is our god he said when he was crucified for you all of them so we do forgive them but those who have done this how to answer and to be accountable before god remember that the priest didn't want to be named because he is afraid of being targeted by those who killed so many people here. the man cries for his dead sister. fernando was forty four years old. she trying to go to church every sunday she deems a husband a song and the daughter behind. that al-jazeera the gumball sri lanka. african leaders meeting in cairo have agreed to give sudan's military council three more months to hand over power to civilians a coalition of political parties meanwhile has suspended talks with the military

and we are now sure that britain is not a clean man and between is worse than him either they go or we continue to protest if you like that are there but if you look at all the generals who are in the council now we're sitting around bashir including samael up at dean who is now the head of the council political committee all of them are islamize and they have to be removed. as i speak an hour a number of protesters have organized a counter movement are mobster words where the military police are standing another checkpoint in this direction trying to. the message home but they are not going to move from this place until the all the demands of the revolution are met they are saying that even if it takes a year to stay here they will stay. well the general coordinator and one nation movement has urged the transitional military council to prevent foreign interference. the second not to wear jackets it is a fresh morning with

the. members voting this election maybe for the last time despite his family living in the region since the one nine hundred thirty s. his name is not on the national register of citizens a list created to distinguish between indian citizens and illegal migrants from other countries. a completed draft of the register was released and twenty team and its wife was on the list but he and his daughter weren't allowed. when we found out names weren't on the list we would be ready if we don't find our names on the list we will lose all our rights as citizens if we lose our rights we will lose everything that we have. i think it's a problem facing almost four million people in this region who could face imprisonment even deportation if they're not on the register many ethnic bengali hindus and muslims live in villages and towns like this one in assam generations of

their families have been here for centuries but more recently new migrants have arrived illegally from bangladesh. that's become a political issue this election with the prime minister saying the government will act against illegal migrants. are full effort is to make sure that. the name of no outsider treats the national seat isn't just a. rights groups say the governing party the b j p is targeting people based on religion and ethnicity and turning the citizens register into a political weapon the government is definitely trying to get people because you need to understand that this process isn't wanted by the on the table supreme court but it is by this stand government and the central government right away that doesn't this independent candidate has been campaigning to keep the migrants out saying they don't fit in you become a prick like in the genocide but they just piss off from all the common numbers

your laws were bad and then they just visited. them and checked in at the polling station and goes to cast what may be his last vote is an indian citizen he's appealing to get on the citizen's register even fails he worries he and his family will lose everything clued in the right to live in their own country as trivial. a sense. we've got a lot more to come in this hour including me amal supreme court rejects a final appeal by two journalists who were jailed for reporting on a red massacre. a show of military might china's navy market seventieth anniversary with a huge international parade. and in sports an overtime goal for the dallas stars closer to the stanley cup near the story in school.

a couple of weeks ago this comes three months after a lower court rejected an appeal they said the sentence would be upheld that also coming down from the supreme court on tuesday and that was their last appeal possibility now what happened since the verdict came down in september sentencing these two gentlemen to seven years behind bars and international outcry over the sentencing and also just the process particularly as myanmar marches its way toward democracy a lot of criticism for that and also just last week the investigation the two gentlemen working on one a pulitzer prize for international reporting or it is news agency their employers coming out almost immediately after this decision by the supreme court saying that they will continue to fight for their journalist behind bars and that they are part of a police set up. ok chromakey is the asia editor for reuters he says the families of the gen this will continue to fight for their freedom. it's very clear there is

no evidence that while on and show so our reporters were guilty of any crime the evidence the trial was very clear however that they were the victims of a police set up intended to silence their reporting their fourteen which was truthful and consequential and so we're determined and will continue to work to secure their release myanmar's legal process would allow for an additional appeal to the supreme court but while the intro sort of themselves to and through their lawyers have indicated. for them they want this to be the end of the legal process and then maher and we have made it clear. both at the trial and in the subsequent appeals that there was no evidence of a crime but instead there was ample evidence of putting testimony from a police official that this was a set up so for us this is the end of the legal process in myanmar will be regrouping now and the families will be renewing their appeal for

katrina new al-jazeera beijing. thirty five years since the cause of aids the hiv virus was recognized since a peak in two thousand and four when almost two million people died from the disease aids related deaths of dropped by more than fifty percent and medicines are helping millions of people live healthier lives. living with hiv is the reality for almost thirty seven million people the use of multiple drugs in a motel to control the infection has helped those with the virus live as long as those without it but two out of every five people with hiv forty one percent have no access to life saving medication left untreated hiv can destroy so many cells that the body is unable to fight off infections and disease and that can lead to aids drugs help keep the level of hiv in the body low is that allows the immune

system to recover and stays strong and also helps to prevent the virus being passed on in two thousand and five only two million people were using the necessary drugs to control hiv by two thousand and seventeen that number had risen to more than twenty one million africans seeing the biggest increase in treatment and today most pregnant women with hiv have access to medicines to prevent the virus being passed on to their babies but worldwide almost two million children under fifteen have the virus infected by their mothers during pregnancy birth or breastfeeding is estimated around nine million people don't even know they have hiv for those that do access to treatment and support still largely depends on where they live. still to come here on the algerian news hour all you a u.s. citizen my putting this question on the census form has set off

take a look at the top stories here in the al-jazeera news out because prime minister says some of the suicide bombers may have traveled abroad before the easter attack mass funerals have been held for some of the three hundred twenty one victims which included forty five children. the u.n. special envoy for libya's renewed his appeal for all armed groups to stop the third week of fighting around the capital tripoli so far at least two hundred sixty four people have been killed. and egypt's hosting two emergency meetings of african leaders to talk about fighting in libya and about the political political

uncertainty in sudan. all right but let's go back now to our top story of course the attacks in sri lanka we can speak to colleen rowley who's a former f.b.i. special agent and she's joining us via skype from minneapolis in minnesota thank you very much indeed for talking to us i'm just wondering first of all what your thoughts are about what appears to be a spectacular failure of communication between two wings of government the prime the president's office on the one hand and the prime ministers on the other. well it looks to be exactly on a par with the intelligence failures that led to nine eleven and which i was actually a whistleblower about and which the nine eleven commission described as a failure to share information within agencies between agencies and with the public that was their main conclusion as what as to what enabled nine eleven attacks if aliar to share information it looks like this is exactly the same and i don't know

how much you know about sri lanka in particular but the prime minister today i mean up to a fairly rigorous examination from the assembled media and he dealt with the issue but he seemed to be taking a rather light view of it and didn't seem to be associating this disagreement if you like all this lack of communication with this devastating loss of life in the country. well i think what is different between nine eleven is that in the united states there was a long time coverage that the problem was a failure to share information and it looks like actually in sri lanka they are looking at investigating how this happened so at least that's better when the cover up occurred it allowed a false approach to reducing terrorism which is actually part of the problem now why countries like new zealand in sri lanka and really everywhere in the world has

experienced a vast increase in the level of terrorism because they approached chosen by the united states when they would not own up to that failure to share information was to launch indiscriminate war as opposed to you know carefully investigating and using surgical prosecutive tools like by launching war they created they increase the level of hatred radicalization and now terrorism all over the world and this was evident even up to george three years afterwards it's interesting you should make that point because the prime minister and other misses in government have already referred to outside forces perhaps being responsible having a hand in the training if not the execution over the actual attacks and then of course you go to i so having laid a claim i mean how how credible is that the claim from my so and furthermore as i say the minister is pointing to outside interference.

well it i think it is pretty obvious that there was outside assistance here the the . the knowledge of how to make bombs except drought usually get shared and this is one of the reasons why terrorism has gone up the war zones are the fertile ground of the training and i think there's actually been some odd attribution they usually put out a video that shows that there's some truth and in this case it's not surprising at all but when you get this what the united states said they didn't want to do after nine eleven was to have a war on islam you would now have that problem because you have radical islamic extremists attacking. christians and whatever and you also have radical christians extremist christians in area and you know groups attacking mosques it's almost like that this is going to do nothing but ratchet up the

problem and make it worse and worse unless the you know people return to a saner approach to terrorism the united states has been misled to believe that there are computer programs that can somehow filter and glean the relevant info that they are vacuuming up wrong that another whole event and that's as proven as true right ok but. i mean i think we're moving flatly away from the shoreline cruises on poetry but we're talking more about the populous lead as the nationalists leaders and the rise of intolerance that comes with them around the world are you suggesting that that sort of global climate if you like has infiltrated even into. what we witnessed just a few days ago. yes i think that certainly when we have internet communications and so people any in any part of the globe can see for instance when a mosque went when fifty people in a mosque are killed in new zealand that is going to radicalize and make people all

over the world mad they're going to get a fight with the victims the same way that people identified with the victims in in nine eleven if this exactly the same it's not you're not going to solve this by saying as extremists do by the way they say we're going to kill all of isis or we're going to kill you know all of the whatever this isn't going to work you're going to have to deal with this two hearts and minds and careful investigation and prosecution and not rely on computer programs to somehow differentiate between important info that the police definitely need to share amongst each other and then act on and actually even share with the public that important in salo from or all of the not relevant info that is being swept up and gathered up for purposes of government surveillance and that's that's what needs to change and fortunately i

don't see a political well at least not in the united states to change that right now people are being misled and terrorism and extremism is on the increase i hope somebody starts to think about this because we have got to get our arms around it it went from a few hundred al qaeda people at the time of nine eleven now to potentially hundreds of thousands of radicalized individuals all over the world clearly rally good to to get your thoughts thank you very much indeed. but we're saying in the united states because rights groups are going to the supreme court to stop changes to the census they say plans to add a question a specific question which else whether someone is an american citizen their fame that this is a deliberate attempt to intimidate immigrants gabriel that his own dad has more from new york. the question seems straightforward enough are you a u.s.

citizen and for the first time ever the u.s. government wants to force everyone to answer that question on the two thousand and twenty u.s. census but yet siri tovar is not a citizen and is worried about answering at the time the ministration has showed me not to trust the twenty six year old was brought to the u.s. illegally by her parents when she was just two years old and even though she's lived in new york all of her life since then she's worried aid no answer could make her a target for deportation. it's happened before and in her neighborhood people have put up signs on the doors cautioning immigration officers known as ice agents not to enter without a judicial warrant. so the fear is real the fear in our community is real i fill it out as being undocumented person i can be targeted i can have agent outside of my house because in the census i said i am undocumented and i gave them my

apartment number but it a congressional hearing last month republican lawmakers said they supported the idea of asking everybody if they are a citizen on the census i cannot understand what universe our leaders would not want to know who's a citizen and who's not we actually ask whether you're a citizen or not in order to get a firearm in the state of california. should we take the citizenship question off and make it easier for people to get firearms and estimated eight hundred eighty billion dollars a year in federal tax dollars for schools and public services are distributed to local communities around the u.s. based off census data immigration advocates have filed lawsuits trying to block the citizenship question from being asked on the census saying it will lead to cuts in federal funding for communities with a large number of immigrants if many of them do not fill out the census we could have a reality where places like new york city do not get their fair share of resources

for things like roads for hospitals and political representation siri tovar she isn't backing down she says it's not about one question one more attack against immigrants from a hostile white house one she is determined to fight. by let's go live now to gabriel and it's on day who's now in washington d.c. and gave us was the first question has to be how many people do we think will be affected by this citizenship question. while directly it will be tens of millions of people martine the current population of the united states is about three hundred twenty seven million people of those it's estimated about seven percent of people that live in this country are not u.s. citizens that's about twenty two million people so you're looking at over twenty

million people that are alternately going to have to answer this question if the supreme court rules that the question can be put on the census over twenty million people are going to after you answer the question are they u.s. citizen or not and it's important to point out that. you have to answer the census it's not something that you can do voluntarily you must answer you could face a fine if you don't so that's going to be multi more than twenty. people they're going to have to answer do they feel comfortable answering that question not some of course will and others like tovar the saw in our story just that she's simply not comfortable answering that question but ultimately she might have to and all of this twenty two million also people who may be affected by the citizenship question i mean would it be fair to suggest that many of them will be. in areas that tend towards the democratic party absolutely without a doubt i mean it's going to be areas like new york city it's going to be areas

like los angeles states like texas these are states that have high immigrant populations many people that are not u.s. citizens and so that is the real concern for advocacy groups and immigrant rights organizations that are here because they feel that this is unfairly going to affect high immigrant communities and that's exactly what they say is exactly why the administration is pushing for this question they claim is because they know will affect those communities in effect funding for them and also representation in congress so there is a lot at stake for everybody but particularly for those states in those communities where there are high immigrant populations going out and out and the supreme court is due to rule when. they say would be probably by the end of june they're under a lot of pressure because the census officials have to print the census and they

say they need to know by july because in july is when they start printing the census for two thousand and twenty but we expect a decision from the supreme court probably by the end of june gabriel elizondo live in washington d.c. thank you. now the british queen has confirmed the us president will travel to the u.k. for an official state visit in june don't trump and his wife melania have accepted an invitation from queen elizabeth the second this will be the president's first state visit to britain it's part of a longer trip that will take him to france for d.-day commemorations now to egypt where the results of a constitutional referendum which could extend the president's term until twenty thirty a due on saturday if approved the changes would also allow abdul fattah el-sisi to appoint senior judges and expand the role of the armed forces rights groups say the referendum is neither free nor fair well abdullah is an associate professor of

history at georgetown university here in qatar and he says politics like this are not unusual in egypt these are actually not quite new practices because we've seen this very much as part of the kind of six decades of dictatorship in egypt were multiple presidents have kind of take it upon themselves to circumvent constitutional and legal processes in terms of appointing judicial heads in terms of the military's concert intervention what's really dangerous about this and what's different from the past is the fact that this is actually now a shrine in it in law and ensuring that these kinds of practices cannot continue without any sort of legal challenge in terms of the president's authority to be able to appoint judicial heads as well as the training the military's role and being able to legally intervene in politics whenever it pleases. now the debate over abortion in argentina has long been controversial legalisation in this mainly roman catholic country was narrowly defeated by senators last year as today's
