an act of barbarism the u.n. deplores an attack in central madi this left at least 95 people dead. this is. also coming up 3 sudanese opposition leaders say they've been deported to south sudan by the military as a nationwide strike continues. and they suspended italian men who transformed its town by welcoming refugees is on trial accused of breaking migration laws. so the u.n.

says it's horrified by an attack in central mali that killed nearly $100.00 people mali's government says gunmen attacked a village of the dog and community and burned several houses in the region no one has claimed responsibility for the raid which happened on sunday but there has been violence between the dalton people and fulani rivals in the past they've been fighting for access to land and resources for the un special representative for mali says he's shocked and outraged by what he called an act of unspeakable barbarism mohammad ali and if who heads the u.n. peacekeeping mission in mali added the threshold of the unbearable is reached it is time for a nationwide outcry. he also called on to find those responsible and bring them to justice something the president has promised to do. at this moment a thought for those who once more have fallen on the motorist bullets an unjust and cowardly act in a country. well as i mentioned there's been

a lot of violence involving the rival groups the united nations says at least 488 people have been killed in attacks targeting fulani cattle herders since last year the worst was in march when suspected dogon armed men killed 160 forlornly villages and august sagal that's near the border with kenya fast and the un peacekeeping mission is also blamed for lonnie's for the death of 63 civilians in the region since january last year let's explore this further we can talk to mark webb who's monitoring developments from nairobi and malcolm a particularly violent attack with dreadful results further developments we have. all survivors say and there are a few survivors but they say it in the night heavily armed men riding in upson on motorbikes surrounded the village village has a population of about 300 and they set huts on fire people many people were burned alive in their huts others tried to flee in the killing one so i said it was recess

children women in the elderly throats were slit people were shot some. so it was very systematic. with the aim of wiping out all of the people in this village and everything that they depend on livestock were killed granary were burned so the intent here clearly was to destroy absolutely everything dozens are injured and when local officials call a roll call for survivors just less than 50 people turned up and came forward. $95.00 killed about 20 still missing so it's not necessary as people fled into the surrounding areas or if their bodies were destroyed in those fires that destroyed all of all of the dwellings that american gives a little bit more of the context there's long been friction between these communities as. the ethnic group has villages

attacked they've gone british nearly hunters do a bit of farming and rival group. their cattle and cattle herders and they had it for a long time live in a state of relatively peaceful coexistence but just in the last couple of years violence between the 2 groups has escalated just in march at about $150.00 anywhere massacred by militia connected to or believed to be from the don't go on ethnic group this attack that happened on sunday may well be a revenge attack for that. but since no one's come forward to take responsibility we don't know but since 2013 when connected to. swept through northern mali then the french military deployed in a un peacekeeping force was subsequently formed evidence then to hold and has remained relatively unstable and some of those armed groups connected to al qaida

to islamic state have been accused in these ethnic rivalries to further stoke up the complex so that they can gain more recruits have a this is an area that's very dry some areas the rest of it it is people who are depending on her being livestock hunting course they're limited and this result is water scrub where where livestock can be grazed climate changes of course made this worse so there's already plenty plenty reasons for tension this has been stoked and has escalated just in the last year as are american thanks very much indeed michael ware reporting from nairobi. to sudan where the military joint has deported 3 opposition leaders to neighboring south sudan. and the others were arrested last week they belong to one of the main rebel groups known as the sudan people's liberation movement north meanwhile military leaders say they've arrested several members of security forces who were linked to attacks on protesters earlier this

month it's not clear if members of the paramilitary group known as the rapid support forces were among them they were accused of the violent crackdown that killed more than a 100 people. and the u.s. is sending its top diplomat for africa to meet leaders of the jointer in the opposition to war knowledge is expected to ask the 2 sides to return to negotiations it's actually good name as this report. yes or armand says when he was released from detention on monday he didn't realize that he and 2 of his fellow opposition leaders were being forced into exile he says they were put onto a military helicopter and flown to juba the capital of south sudan against their will. i don't write what you write quickly and then when we cross the border battle south sudan reports that they're going to meet their strengths and we say the military council

is not serious about saving the revolution and implementing its goals we are calling upon all international organizations to support us in resisting the deportations monday was the 2nd day of a general strike in sudan intended to paralyze the country and force the transitional military council's hand you know i mean martyrs have died a lot of things have happened in the civil uprising and a lot of people have been affected for those who say the civil disobedience isn't successful i saw it with my own eyes these are lies. talks between the opposition and the military ground to a halt after a crackdown on a sit in a week ago the central committee of sudan doctors says almost 120 people died the health ministry says the death toll is half that an investigation is underway. a plan was to disperse the area and clean it up without getting closer to the main

sit in area but mistakes were made when the plan was carried out not to let the situation let's just take into consideration that our forces never go deep into the civil area ethiopian prime minister ahmed met with opposition members on friday he left a delegation behind in the hopes they can help negotiate an end to the crisis but the gulf between the protesters and the military remains why with no sign power will be handed to the people of sudan natasha going to name just iraq. the suspended mayor of a small italian town is standing trial accused of aiding illegal immigration so many go into kanu known for transforming his shrinking community by welcoming refugees found themselves in trouble with the law and let's cross to our correspondents going to joins us live from long cre where the case is being heard and saw near the town at the center of all this which is reaction it's an hour away

from where you are now and it's become really a flashpoint isn't it in these migration debate. absolutely mick and in a sense this whole case is symbolic of of the bitterness that surrounds the immigration debate in this country indeed but perhaps throughout europe as well but taking it focusing it on reactions well you have the former mayor the many called o'connell who instituted this model of integration some 6000 migrants asylum seekers pass through. and breathe new life into it and this is a model that was indeed praised the the the not just in italy but throughout the world as well and on the other sides of this debate of course you've got me at the head of it the party's leader but there salvini who's also the deputy prime minister here as well as the interior minister he's positioned himself as a fierce storm critic against everything that the many kernel stands for on this

debate calling him pejoratively a do gooder and when he was arrested he saw he fired off a warning tweet saying that this is what happens when such so-called do good as he put it come up against the law but nevertheless this debate is a sign of just how much the league has positioned the debate here and has moved it certainly further towards an anti immigration stance oh yeah. and you do. says the new male with a new kind of message this says i'm going to be fully is the rebirth of the southern italian village of the attic a place that made its mark the becoming a model of integration for migrants and asylum seekers well then you may emerge from a list of independent candidates support also came from the far right and immigration league party vehemently against the previous model of integration they say it's

time for a change. reaction needs to develop not just by repopulating itself with seekers but also to reassert its identity and to stand strong on its own 2 feet. but there is little in the way of detail as to how that will be achieved. or. different welcomed will have received people were to go in brace directions to our to resist the nation's coming down with a glass of wine and piece of salami or. where once the streets were full of life there's scarcely anyone around now the government has cut funds which sustained projects here migrants who settled here are locked in to talk to anyone about the situation that's also the case for its aging population or this since the arrest of its former mayor. who's integration model was praised all over the world

was investigated for allegedly aiding illegal immigration among other charges. from a global village to a rapidly deserted one the arches new league party back to may has promised a renewal of its fortunes but the problem here is as with so many other places in italy's poorest south is that there is a dying population and there are few incentives to attract people to come here you can project was routinely criticized by italy's league party leader and deputy prime minister met they are still beenie immigration policies have divided the country those who remain in riyadh share are fearing the worst. government which to enter and what look can are created here should not be destroyed he created an economic system which works here and can work throughout the country the small towns here suffer from the population there are no young people here as they've all

left. the promises of the new mayor will be a challenge in this remote area if yet she is to come back from the brink it faces many here believe it will require a complete overhaul if it is to avoid the fate of dying out altogether. while italy's supreme court has overturned some of the charges there are those that remain including financial irregularities allegations that he faced under his tenure under the kind of tenure there but any kind of was coming into the court today he stays and he maintains that he actually believes that he made a conscious decision to support marginalized people that he has always imagined a more humane society this is a man who really has taken this as a lifetime project and it's certainly not going to be a position that he's going to back away from now. thanks very much indeed for your

pollutants against the risks of further meddling with the environment feel like this is playing god it's actually quite unsettling and quite frankly makes me quite anxious. clyne attack on al-jazeera. i'm one of our top stories of the un has described a deadly attack on a village in central mali that's killed nearly 100 people as an act of unspeakable barbarism the government says gunmen raided a village of the dublin community and burned several houses in the moxy region.

islamabad welcome what's your sense of what's led to this while the these enormous pressures on pakistan's economy. thank you very much pakistan has suffered from 70 plus years of physical ill disciplined and the present government when it came in power on the slogan of trying to fight corruption very quickly realized in all of its cabinet realized that the biggest challenge was not corruption itself but they cost money and that nightmare has been haunting the government in the previous 10 to 11 months the performance has not mean very encouraging and it has further made the difficult situation turn into a more difficult situation whereas there was a delay to go to i.m.f. as a lender and now the i.m.f. has it down a very stringent preconditions which should be in the budget are going to be

announced and some of the preconditions have already been initiated in the in the mix of all this the budget is going to be a contraction in the overall economy and we've seen that that the performance has been very low in terms of the g o close to about 3.3 percent ok so what. on its way got the $6000000000.00 bailout from the i.m.f. because there it is coming what will that she mean for the man on the street man or woman on the street. well the man on the street really because since 2017 and specifically in the last year the currency has been devalued and altogether the rupee at the ballot about 44 percent that is added to the inflation other than the rise of oil prices and the monetary policy has also been changed over the interbank rate going up 12 percent. in this backdrop subsidies are being

removed from the energy and that is when you add you can see the disposal of the disposable income for the common man we're also hearing that there is going to be increases in the retail. public by increasing the details text by one percent so overall it looks like that this budget is going to increase. the cost of living for individuals because of the cost of rise of energy as well as. you can say contraction because the government is going to raise taxes in various forms in salary as well as sales tax would appreciate your perspective on this thanks very much indeed now iran has confirmed it plans to release a lebanese businessman who's been jailed for several years. was arrested in 2015 over accusations that he spied for the united states soccer has u.s. residency and was visiting iran for a conference when he was detained lebanon's internal security chief is set to oversee his release iranian state media said he will be handed over to hezbollah

that's a show of respect to its leader hassan nasrallah. the u.s. state department says it is unimpressed with the latest warnings coming from iran its foreign minister mohammed java desire the us cannot expect to stay safe if it continues and economic war against its country donald trump has imposed sanctions since withdrawing from the 2015 iran nuclear deal and has deployed more military assets to the gulf region making threats using nuclear blackmail and terrorizing other nations is typical behavior for the revolutionary regime in tehran tomorrow they will probably threaten once again to close the strait of hormuz we aren't impressed iran faces a simple choice it can either behave like a normal nation or watch its economy crumble but all the while the u.n. has confirmed that iran is increasing production of enriched uranium to iran had warned it would put if there was no progress on lifting sanctions the head of the u.n. nuclear agency said it's unclear whether the latest enrichment levels violate the

agreement. i prefer not to mention the specifics. due to do so but i can say the piece of production increased. accordance with the latest misjudgment hillary mann leverett to a full white house national security official and she says well things look there's still hope very much if it will work out i would put some hope and i would remain very cautious about this and i don't want to heighten expectations but i have some hope in the japanese prime minister aves visit to ron i think later this week or even perhaps even tomorrow at this point he is someone regarded as a good friend of president trump and someone who is regarded as a as a neutral fair arbiter i think by many in iran japan also has vital energy security interests and vital economic interests both in its relationship with the u.s. and with iran and has tried to really pursue

a very careful approach to both countries i have some hope in that visit that that at least could defuse tensions for the european union for the european union it's a very difficult situation because president trump doesn't have very much regard i'm sorry to say for his german counterpart and germany is really the powerhouse of the european union so without a good relationship there there's no real u.s. support for the europeans to make good on their end of the iran nuclear agreement so i don't have a lot of hope in that channel but perhaps for perhaps for japan perhaps for qatar for iraq for oman those channels i would put a little bit more hope in to defuse the tension you know as president donald trump is promising to reveal more details about last friday's agreements with mexico aimed at reducing the number of refugees migrants coming across the border a truck behind threatened tire of soulmates can products unless a deal was reached. a lot of good things are happening but i want to thank mexico and we do have one other thing that will be announced at the appropriate time but

they have to get approval from their legislative body what is it why are the mexicans denying it that i don't think they'll be denying it very long it's all doubt. for a moment there would be us mexico border how did your custards going to be a part of the deal on asylum seekers. there's a lot of confusion surrounding this so-called secret deal because the united states and mexico have very different versions of exactly what it amounts to president donald trump has tweeted that this is an agreement that has been signed and documented he called this an immigration security agreement with mexico but refuses to release further details however speaking with reporters mexico's foreign minister marcello broad this morning called it an agreement he said this was not a deal at all he did confirm that mexico has sent 6000 national guard troops throughout mexico to deter central american migrants from proceeding north he also

said mexico is expanding this program of allowing central american asylum seekers to wait just south of the u.s. border as their cases wind through u.s. courts however both of those measures have been agreed upon months ago truncheon said is spinning this as a result of his hard line immigration measures that friend 5 percent tariff which would it take 10 to day and the result of fevered negotiations for mexico to avoid that threat to american conservatives have already many have supported trump saying that this was effective at his threats were in deed useful and having mexico capitulate however the real story is still to be revealed exactly what this agreement comes down to what is not in dispute is the fact that this border is under immense strain more than 130000 people were apprehended by border patrol they

were asylum seekers in central america across the border illegally trying to seek a better life in the united states that was that 13 year high and here in el paso in this border behind me a few weeks ago more than. a 1000 central american family seekers started this border fence and surrender themselves to american authorities. but colombian peace deal signed between the government and gravels back in 2016. but suffering and violence persists and are inspired and have inspired one of latin america's most influential artists in a major installation i wasn't around p.r.c. went in colombia. shattered glass for the life shattered in a fragile peace process threatened activists from across colombia break pieces of glass then use them to write the names of community leaders killed for speaking up against illegal mining deforestation or drug trafficking. is usually not paris is

one of the participants as a community leader defending women's rights she was tortured then left for dead by a paramilitary group oh no this is simply a step that could be among and the saddest thing is the total impunity surrounding . we are remembering them we are telling them they cannot be forgotten or we are confronting the reality of hundreds of social leaders systematically killed and the lock on the policy to protect. the peace called shattered is the brainchild of. one of latin america's most influential artist who has done a number of works reflecting on colombia's conflict she calls the project undertaken in collaboration with colombia's truth commission volunteers and the national university is a monumental act of mourning. just like life is fragile and once broken it can't be fixed it can't be restored this is

a way to reflect on what's happening at an incredibly high rate and forces us to question what's causing it what's truly happening. 470 social leaders have been killed since the signing of the. 2 tauzin 16 s criminal gangs paramilitary rebels fight for control of territories once under fire influence and where the government that's failed to intervene. in syria to use more. exploding. have been cleared. to put to work. we're looking for that we mean for. communities protecting the environment they were. in the. democracy and this is. something the leader is fighting for their communities hope this artwork can help
