on our entire nandan with the top stories from europe including british m.p.'s call on the government to block a state visit by u.s. president donald trump after he's invited to meet the queen. and i'm lee harding back into how with all of the day's sport the boxer on iraq will have action from a crucial night in the n.b.a. playoffs coming up for you later this news hour. but first president has spoken publicly for the first time since the bomb attacks which killed more than three hundred people and wounded five hundred others on easter sunday my three palace city center released a statement declaring intelligence warnings of possible attacks were not shared with him he said. you know what we have been receiving information about trainings the terrorist were having the security department has received so much

information regarding their activities we did not investigate thoroughly and carry out the necessary action against these organizations and their members unfortunately we have experienced this incident innocent people have been killed due to the horrific incident. he said hill completely restructure the police and security forces in the coming weeks. and he said he is planning to change the heads of the country's defense establishment within the next twenty four hours my free policy he said their promise what he called stern action against officials who didn't share the prior intelligence with him and his statement comes on the day that sri lanka media release security footage of the moment that they say a suspect entered a church in gothenburg that's just outside the capital before blowing himself up let's go live now to colombo our correspondent michele phone and is live for us at

mineral so we've now heard from the political leadership all sides saying that they weren't to blame they didn't get the intelligence that is even looking abroad for some inspiration as to why these attacks happened. that's right martin we've heard from the leadership as you've mentioned the prime minister on a victim missing earlier in the evening and now a statement from the president might be palace are saying or the underlying basically statement we did not know or we were not told now as much as this fact is being made by both of these leaders one has to question if they didn't know and as the sort of positions of authority they hold warrants. that the be kept informed who actually did who is going to be responsible for this severe and serious security breach that has left three hundred twenty one

people dead so far and hundreds of people still receiving treatment in hospitals so martin in these sort of vacuum there is talk that there might have been some sort of foreign or international involvement fingers being pointed at an extremist organization in sri lanka but also talk that they had support and basically help from foreign elements so that's where it stands martin i'm with the president i hope with the president that he took place and we agreed. that the parties got a few than four to come out and we discussed this on monday and decided a real emergency for certain purposes only limited purpose. had a meeting of the i mean for also remember that we would crash out on how look we've

got to get the country out of this problem i don't think because back to give birth and he was in front. right and i think it was the prime minister rather than the president when there was that earlier who gave the suggestion the alarming suggestion that there still could be devices unexploded around the island of sri lanka and that the country is still quite a dangerous place. that certainly was the implication mass in that clip that we heard from the prime minister. to a question as to whether sort of political tensions had exacerbated and allowed this crisis to happen but taking questions quite a wide range of questions from foreign correspondents here in colombo run a victory missing have basically said that there are still elements that are on the run following this incident following wide ranging investigations he said that some

of these elements might be armed might have explosives with them and the security authorities are trying their darndest to ensure that these people are roped in and brought to book now having said that he did say that they're trying to do their best in as soon a period as possible but obviously that opens the very real possibility that there are people around still at large who might be armed and dangerous men l thank you for that to me now fernandez our correspondent in the capital colombo well another of our correspondents in sri lanka is charles stratford and he's reporting now from. a community in mourning. thousands came to pay their respects and remember the men women and children killed at the san sebastian church accompany the families of

in new york and he gives some details about what we can expect about the middle east peace plan he's been working on for the last two years he said he intended to make it public earlier than this but it was delayed because of the general election in israel and says he'll no wait until after ramadan to reveal what he's come up with. our focus is really on the bottom up which is how do you make the lives of the palestinian people better what can you resolve to allow these areas to become more investable we deal with all the core status issues because you have to do it we've also built a robust business plan for the whole region i think that the two together have the opportunity to push forward and then from israel's point of view their biggest concern is just security and i think that what we do is something that allows for israel to maintain security but be tough compromises for both gerry commissioner was also asked about his close relationship with the crown prince mohammed bin solomon and the death of the journalist jamal khashoggi you know he said he

a bit of controversy let's go to a european news center in london where lauren taylor is standing by lauren. martín dozens of m.p.'s are trying to block a state visit by donald trump accusing him of mis organism racism and xenophobia trunk was invited to the u.k. by britain's queen elizabeth the second hundreds of thousands of people protested against his first visit last year and they say they'll demonstrate again in june ever hayward has more from central london. while donald trump has accepted the offer from the queen to come here to take part in a state visit between that and the fifth of june he'll be here for three days and he will take part accompanying the royal family to commemorate which will take place on the south coast to mark the seventy fifth anniversary of the d.-day landings what makes this visit different to his visit to the u.k. last year though is that this is a state visit and that comes with all the privileges that a state visit entail

a large banquet of about one hundred fifty people which will be hosted by the queen of course not everybody is happy about trump coming back to britain of course last year when he visited the u.k. there were several hundred thousand people who protested on the streets of london he didn't get anywhere near the protests and of course through with that large balloon which appeared in the sky up of parliament depicting trump as an angry baby we don't know yet whether that will feature in this year's visit teenage environmentalist has been meeting british politicians and climate protesters in london a sixteen year old swedish activist held talks with the leaders of the opposition parties or prime minister to resign may was conspicuous by her absence timberg has inspired tens of thousands of children worldwide to boycott classes to draw attention to climate change a trip to london coincided with a nine stay of climate protest by the extension rebellion group. police in northern

the families of the journalists will keep up their appeal for a pardon. well it's very clear there is no evidence that while on in show so our reporters were guilty of any crime the evidence at 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 interests are themselves to and through their lawyers have indicated. for them they want this to be the end of the legal process and the m.r. and we have made it clear. both at the trial and in the subsequent appeals that there was no evidence of a crime that is instead there is 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 a pardon to the government of myanmar. the new prime minister of mali is under pressure to stop attacks by pfizer is that they're linked to al qaida as well as coming into sectarian armrest full of finance minister abu sisi is forming a new government the previous one quit last week after widespread anger about the recent killings nicholas hub reports now from the capital bamako. twelve year old feels like he's being spun a tale every day adults tell him his school will reopen tomorrow he's heard the same story for almost a year but schools have remained closed with striking teachers demanding to be paid that. it's a sin seriously their words don't really count when things really matter to us this

is boubacar seach or mr while the last lesson on keeping promises is still on the blackboard mr good day waits to hear from the newly appointed prime minister hoping that he will keep his word and make education a priority because there may be enough funds for the one billion dollars a year u.n. peacekeeping operation in mali but not enough to pay mr two hundred dollars monthly salary a lot of the money. the government doesn't care about schools so this is a setback for the future of young people if we cannot invest in young people then the future of our country of mali is in jeopardy. former finance minister forty one year old. newly appointed prime minister after the government was forced to step down last week following a mass demonstration on the streets of burma co of mostly young people they're unhappy with the state's inability to keep money in safe from attacks the price of basic necessities are shot up by twenty percent strikes affect the education

afghanistan having said that just full couple over the high ground yet we are looking at some bits and pieces of snow before much of iran as you can see is dry and sunny to run at fourteen degrees celsius baghdad twenty six celsius temperature starting to just rampart now across these northern areas of the region twenty eight in baghdad the day we're getting up into the low to mid twenty's across a good part of the levant by the time we come to thursday even kabul will get up into the twenty's twenty one celsius here the wintry mix making its way away as we go on through the remainder of this week meanwhile across the robin peninsula when it is dry fish as possible around the gulf of aden southern end of the red sea pretty nice celsius in doha quite a brisk wind freshening things up and it'll stay that way as we go on through the next day or two let's get out into southern parts of africa some showers coming into the eastern cape again just watch out for a cycle of their tents and their. sweat

tears and sometimes blot but for them it's what their dreams are made of. just tells a story of a young moroccan boxes from humble backgrounds for training for the lights of their lives. on the former champion who gives his all that success casablanca by cop on how to zero. the.

al-jazeera. where every. time just take a look at the top stories here in the al-jazeera news out drunk as president my three policy center has released a statement declaring intelligence warnings about possible attacks was not shared with him he said he'll restructure the police and security forces in the coming weeks african leaders meeting in cairo and eventually dan's military to handle the politics of billions within three months the country's army eva three president bashir earlier. none of the large protests the demonstrations against the new

military rulers have continued. egypt's constitutional referendum has passed the public vote paving the way for a president. to remain for more than another decade the national election authority has now it's that turnout was just over forty four percent with almost ninety percent of voters backing the proposed changing. let's get more now on our top story that of course the aftermath of the easter sunday attacks in sri lanka colleen rowley is a former f.b.i. special agent in the u.s. she says the scale of these bombings shows that foreign assistance was given to the perpetrators. 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 ah

attribution they usually put out a video that shows that there's some proof 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 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 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 from the non-relevant and and that's that's proven as

our troop. voting has begun in the further of the largest phase of india's month long general election the prime minister narendra modi voted in his home state a good route he's running for a second term in office and this election is seen as a referendum on his five years as prime minister. well choosing could be the last time that millions of indians in the north east of the country get to vote that's because then names are not on a list which is meant to separate out citizens from undocumented migrants. from. voting the selection maybe for the last time despite his family living in the region since one thousand 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 in twenty team and its wife was on the list but he and his daughter weren't. when we found out names weren't on the list we would be. 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 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. our full effort is to make sure that.

the name of. the national register. 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 government is definitely trying to get people to understand that this process isn't one hundred. but it is going by the state government and the central government right without. 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. and then they just visit. them it checks in at the polling station and goes to cast what maybe 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. sam now it's

thirty five years since the coals of aids the hiv virus was recognized since two thousand and four when almost two million people died from the disease aids related deaths have dropped by more than fifty percent and medicines are helping millions of people live healthier lives it. reports. 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 seen 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. right now i can speak to neil. associate professor of law at georgetown university law

center who's joining us from washington d.c. thanks for talking to us so this is a good news story isn't it deaths are down by fifty percent since the peak days. that certainly is and thank you for having me on it's certainly great that we have so many good hiv drugs now in the market the problem is many times there on affordable for people even in developed countries right so that will account for the rather unlevel playing field if you like i mean it's a bit of a lottery wherever you are is it a postcode lottery if you're in zambia perhaps you going to have less access to these vital antiretroviral drugs then if you're in the u.k. for instance yeah i mean so you know in more developed countries right we have advanced insurance systems in place to help with the costs of these drugs but

as a practical matter a lot of these drugs are so expensive that the cost is borne somehow either through tax payers or through higher insurance premiums and as a sort of flows downstream that deters the take up of drugs we even see this in the united states we should be doing better than we are in terms of the number of people who are receiving drugs that could prevent the infection of hiv in the first place these drugs exist but because of their high cost many people are not taking them and i mean the thing is it was originally thought that this was the exclusive demain of homosexual men and intravenous drug users but the has the profile of the disease changed over the years. oh yeah i think it certainly has i mean i think that it's a chevy something it could strike anyone obviously and i think we've come a long way as a society and recognizing it doesn't really matter what your lifestyle is you know

this is a deadly disease that needs to be treated and that that that deserving of our our full support and our of our health our for health systems and to make sure that drugs are affordable for all but in the united states at least there's complications in terms of how pricing occurs that often make the drugs difficult for people to afford so why is that then in the united states so part of the reason is that in the united states we pay more for health care in general we pay more for doctor salaries be more for specialists we pay more for drugs part of it these drugs are very good and generally speaking when something is good a drug company can charge more to get a reasonable return on their investment the problem is we're talking about tens of thousands of dollars for a year of treatment and as someone in the end is going to pay for that and even if that ends up being insurers that's passed on to folks in terms of higher premiums

if it's medicaid or medicare which are the state insurance programs the federal insurance programs in the united states then those are going to be passed on to taxpayers yet but and this is a long complicated list i'm not so i'm not entirely clear what you're saying though you say you suggesting that this is a bad thing or just a fact of life a reflection of of life in the united states that they are you suggesting that the price of these vital drugs should be brought down by one means or another in order to people access to them. absolutely yeah the price should be brought down but you know it's a complicated balance on the one hand these drug companies have invested large sums of money in developing these drugs they need to be able to get a reasonable return on the other hand the returns that they're getting right now you know what i spent i read was two hundred billion dollars in profits for the top six hiv manufacturers from two thousand and twelve to twenty sixteen that's far outpacing what research and development costs are and the problem is we don't

really know actually what those costs exactly are because the drug companies keep that information very private so it's not clear how much of the money of this is being spent on this is going to were developing new drugs and how much is actually going toward marketing and other costs that aren't really directly benefiting patients all right neal may thank you very much indeed for joining us live from washington. thank you so much that rights groups in the u.s. going to the supremes to try to stop changes to the census they say that plans to add a question asking whether someone is an american citizen is a deliberate attempt to intimidate immigrants gabriel that is. has the story 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 it the time ministration has showed me not to trust them 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 a 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 and i can manage this is real i for that out as being undocumented person i can be targeted i can have agents 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 or 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 an estimated eight hundred eighty billion dollars a year in federal tax dollars for schools and public services 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 at siri tovar she
