3:00 am
police have been attacked some killed while trying to stop the tribal fighting some rebels also targeted a u.n. helicopter. the situation here is tense they have the community accuses the government of not protecting them they've been protesting against the violence calling for more to be done to stop the killings. the current situation is the responsibility of the national government it must deploy more troops on the ground to fight against the militias in order to stabilize the situation. the violence has forced thousands of people to flee their homes seeking refuge elsewhere on friday and saturday alone more than 6000 displaced people arrived at this camp in bunia many living in difficult conditions with the bare minimum. i wonder if we have an authority or president in this country even after the elections and the new president people are still dying like animals. and the 2 camps set up here are already at full capacity so. we've been complaining to the authorities and
3:01 am
partnership of the displaced people started arriving at this camp so we can organize how to assist them properly but nothing has happened now there are more people than the cup come hold and living conditions where people aren't. eatery is one of the largest provinces in democratic republic of congo it has large diamonds and gold reserves the fight for control of the area is fueling the violence and a longstanding dispute between the hemet cattle herders and lendu farmers tens of thousands of congolese have been killed in the cycle of reprisal attacks and camps like this are becoming a permanent home for many mohammed al jazeera. so here's a contender now in africa affairs political analyst joining us on skype from can just so you know what strikes me with this story is not just the fact that there is ethnic tension we might say an animal city but that it escalates to this level of of burning villages of people with machetes killing each other it's it it's just
3:02 am
it's quite gruesome the whole thing. when you look at that blackguard's you may say anything about the truth is that the display is not and any governance at all of these players is no sense at all ministrations very poor it has been very poor for the last 20 years it's not a state plays there is not governance it's all i think the way forward should be asked for the national army with serious people and. the end of state when he was campaigning he promised to cause the task falls in barely. something like that in barry but something something like that so really we need a very serious and focused group to deal with the issue otherwise it will be very
3:03 am
difficult because the reality is not political is not a mistress it's all about gold and it's all about all those venues playing around but do you think the government see either understands how bad it is and realizes that or actually even wants to i mean i know there's a lot of problems to deal with and they are seeing at the moment but this seems to be something which needs urgent attention. i don't think it's only the government which shows not to be understanding the level of situation you and it's not understanding the severity of the situation i think it's time it's all of them more than time that the head of state and you and should take serious attention to this situation because we're going beyond any natural limits and this situation is not acceptable there is a new governor of the province but it's not at all we need to put in our soldiers
3:04 am
we need to pull police we need to pull u.s. soldiers and we need to give them enough we'll just text to deal with this as soon as possible we cannot accept that to keep going and then it's not acceptable at all to let people get looting and killing people. but what about dealing with the underlying problems and i mean you're right to say that there needs to be a force on the ground to deal with what is happening the acute problems happening now but clearly this is an ethnic divide which goes back a long way is there a way to actually address that yes it has been going for lack of discipline lack of we've got to saw the problem we have army officers involved in this equation everyone knows that we have politicians involved in that situation and everyone knows that we have to stop it once for all. i thank you so much for your time we do appreciate it thank you. now power is
3:05 am
slowly being restored across 4 south american countries after a massive blackout millions of people across argentina uruguay paraguayan and brazil have all been affected with everything from traffic lights to train services and shops without electricity as energy companies have been working frantically to bring the power back all we'll get an update from to raise about and going to stories i'm actually reading here about europe was saying 88 percent of services resumed so that's good news there what about where you are. well that's correct it's electricity is slowly being restored to around the country the president just announced that around 50 percent of the country has already have already there i like to city that corn added was an incident that shocked the most argentine and it was father stays here on sunday in one of the side is where people gather to celebrate among other things but also 4 provinces were holding local
3:06 am
elections so this certainly complicated. for most argentina not only this country was left without electricity but also. neighboring brazil among others and what some reports are indicating is that there was a failure in the interconnection grid in argentina the failure began in that dam that is located in northeastern argentina is known as asia ceded that dam and apparently there was a failure in one of the grids over there and that's what in a way affected this whole region and there's been some say that what he may have caused that failure is a heavy rain but we're now waiting for a press conference from the secretary of energy who is expected to give more information about what went wrong precedent already so mark really is saying that he's going to investigate the really what happened that this is something that has never happened in argentina before and of course as you just said there were problems with traffic lights with public transport still in some areas of the city public transport is not working so most people here are getting very very anxious
3:07 am
for power to be restored does it speak to a bigger problem to do with infrastructure electricity infrastructure in these countries. well energy has been a problem for argentina not only for argentina but many countries in the region let's not forget about the massive power outage that happened earlier this year in venezuela that affected hospitals and most of the population for several days well in argentina that in a way there used to be lots of power cuts here's a few years ago since taking office modi has said that energy was a priority for this country energy was subsidized in argentina so the price of energy that people pay has slowly started to increase the president has also invested the government has also invested are promoting all sorts of investments in renewable energy because they say that energy was an enormous problem in this country because of the power cuts but as i said before
3:08 am
a power cut like this one never happened before and that's why the president to say that there's going to be a very big investigation into what what actually happened to risible with the update from buenos aires thank you. plenty more ahead for you on this new sudan's ousted leader on what are your faces prosecutors in his 1st public appearance since been thrown out of office. a major announcement expected in tehran on monday iran's leaders say they'll pull even further away from the 2050 nuclear deal and in sport a switch for sorry. manager leaves the club after just one season in charge. the wife of the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been ordered to pay $15000.00 after being found guilty of misusing state funds sorry netanyahu had been charged with fraud last year after allegedly spending 100000 dollars of state money
3:09 am
on lavish meals but she took a plea bargain and admitted to lesser charges her husband also faces possible charges in a separate corruption case all of this as he begins campaigning for a 2nd israeli election in a year. also the israeli cabinet has approved a settlement in the occupied golan heights that will be named after the u.s. president the settlement will be called trump heights in march the u.s. president changed decades of u.s. policy to officially recognize the occupied golan heights as israeli territory history for so with more on those stories from us to receive them. well opposition parties have been pointing out that benjamin netanyahu transitional government ahead of september's election doesn't have the or thorazine to actually and act a new settlement in the occupied golan heights but that hasn't stopped benjamin netanyahu he's taken his cabinet up there for what he called a festive cabinet meeting which was attended unusually you have to say by the us
3:10 am
ambassador david friedman and then after that meeting at which the new name trump heights for this settlement was confirmed there was an unveiling ceremony where the 2 men took the the veil off a large sign in a very trumpy in font and trump in color spelling out trump heights in the occupied golan heights benjamin netanyahu saying that this cemented the long claim the jews had to the area talking about synagogues dating back thousands of years saying that it always had been and always would be israeli territory and thanking donald trump for recognizing israel's claim at the height of the last election campaign on march 25th israel's claim to the occupied golan heights all this coming on the same day that his wife sarra had to be convicted in jerusalem of a corruption case she pled guilty to making the best of somebody else's
3:11 am
mistake in in using public funds to have lavish takeout meals cooked by some of jerusalem's best chefs at the same time as the prime minister's residence was employing a chef of its own so that was against the rules she is due to pay back or least be fined some $15000.00 u.s. dollars of course the bigger question now confronts benjamin netanyahu he has 3 corruption cases of his own attempts to try to secure immunity and secure. a change in the laws which would have prevented the israeli supreme court from overturning any immunity all of that was really put aside by the fact that he was unable to cement a coalition after the last election he's now called new elections or had the israeli parliament call new elections for september the 17th all of the stuff that's been going on in the golan today very much part of his efforts to try to get reelected
3:12 am
and also appeal to his friend in the white house donald trump with us now. is ready political analyst in west jerusalem nice to have you with us how much do you read into what has happened to mrs netanyahu today when we start to think about what could happen to mr netanyahu and his corruption cases i think. bandies their president then there is a lot of implications for the future of an attorney who is going to face 3 bribery charges and the fact that the family sorry and then you know we agreed to sign a plea bargain with the prosecution instead of going into a long try with a lot of money spent on lawyer indicates that this might be the case also in the future as far is. concerned if indicted then the old old speculations are that
3:13 am
these going to be indicted and eventually we'll have to cut a deal with the prosecution and have some plead bargain. because in this way you will avoid a long trial and a lot of political pressures to resign and this might be the solution eventually does it take. does it take any pressure i mean even if that's the way prime minister netanyahu were to deal with anything in the future that take any pressure off him with regards to the election with trying to create another government. liberman case what happened in the last elections the fact that liberman prevented the ateneo wolf or from forming a government. is now. these the relationship between ateneo liberman escalating and there is an open war between them in d.c.
3:14 am
makes the situation worse for netanyahu to form a government in the coming election on september and the situation is very complicated. right after the elections that then you know will have to face a hearing at the general prosecutor to decide what will happen with these criminal charges no the situation is very complicated and i think that what happened today. is a lesson because this is where the 1st member of the family which is a convicted criminal charges and meets to eat and this is as i said a very important president quit if you wouldn't mind on the newly named newly you know he right to trump heights in the occupied golan heights what do you make of that almost a stunt sort of thing or is it to appease. the white house to to distract everyone else from what's going on. it is to appease the white thousands also good phone
3:15 am
ateneo a nice campaign election campaign. to show the golan heights part of. this is contradictory in international law and of course the president trump cannot the next the golan heights to israel and the this is a thinking be our spin not more than that haven't you any batman arkham pleasure talking to you thank you for joining us. thank you thank you. now television syrian government forces have exchanged fire an adlib province off to what he said was i deliberate attack on its soldiers and at least 15 civilians were killed there on saturday as well as russian and syrian forces made their advance and support from under schapelle. being all. these rescue workers are calling on those inside to make themselves known the reply. help process for

3:25 am
and other religious fighters operate in the area as well. a butcher with more. in fact the conflict in some for a stage started way back as far back as 2009 and it's been like this for a very very long time however the last 4 years i've seen a spike in the number of attacks and the number of casualty figures because of these frequent attacks between the cattle herders and of course the local farming community now the problem as escalated to such a level that there are criminal gangs who have also come in and taken advantage of the vantage of the situation and this criminal gangs and the only limited to the nigerian side of the border that are foreigners as we were told by officials who have come into them for a state and also being part and parcel of this problem an official told al jazeera a few weeks ago that there are more than 48 cams 8 major cams and 4034 major smaller camps in some form of state alone so the whole problem actually is
3:26 am
partly the problem of climate change is partly responsible for this crisis more and more cattle herders are moving in words or inland as the area in the north or the area north becomes dry and dry and so they move their cattle and as a result of movement of these cattle they sort of drive their cutters through farmlands they follow news we spoke to say that these farm lands have been expanded into grazing areas and cattle routes or for cattle for migration purposes and through that stage set the stage of conflict between the 2 sides and now the conflict has moved from the north depart into the central part of nigeria and into the south west where we've seen in the last 2 years hundreds of people have been killed you've got mali as well dealing with fighting between farmers and heard is that a vigil was held in the capital after a series of attacks and the international criminal court is looking at allegations

3:29 am
other we're all mali and we need to promote dialogue bring an end to the violence that's turning into a senseless war. it is a country in crisis deeply divided with each community mourning their dead. people to break the cycle of revenge because hawke al-jazeera. donald trump's accuse the new york times of treason reported the u.s. is increasing cyber attacks on russia the article quotes former and serving government officials who say the u.s. hacked the russian power grid report says all this is part of an aggressive cyber campaign partly in retaliation for interference in the 2018 midterm elections more details with kristen salumi. the new york times article does not get details about specific actions being taken by the pentagon's cyber command unit rather it describes increasing attacks on the russian power grid and other potential targets
3:30 am
as well as a change in posture from a more defensive strategy to a more offensive one and the reporting seems to be bolstered by comments made by john bolton the national security advisor in just the last week in which he describes taking a broader view of potential cyber targets in the as a way to send a message to russia or to anyone else who might be trying to hack the united states that they will pay the price if they do the new york times speculates that officials are talking about this operation as a way to send that message to help send that message and while president says that this information is not true last year congress and the white house itself gave broader powers to the cyber command to act without prism presidential approval and the article actually quotes unnamed sources who say that they were afraid to discuss these moves with the president because of how he might react or who he might share the information with. to turkey now where the future of istanbul will
3:31 am
be debates between 2 mayoral candidates in a televised political debate the former prime minister been out of your dream and the opposition c.h.p. candidate. you face off a week before the elections mera lections were held in march was initially declared the winner but the election council ordered a rerun after a complaint from the ruling ak party over regularities and violations of election law let's get more from cynical so you in istanbul how is all this turning out now . well yes actually the stability is kind of for historical event for turkey because since i quite see the ruling party took the seat in 2002 this is the 1st time that too politically there is all may or may or leaders face off in a live debate show on t.v.
3:32 am
as it was it will it was a kind of a tradition in turkey before our party it took the seat in 2002 even if prisons are done who used to who was a mayor of istanbul he joined a lot of live debate shows like this but this is the 1st so millions are expected to tune in for this live debate they will be discussing 2 to compare it to rivals will be discussing get out of topics. the reasons why the election was a nod and their projections for the city what the what they proposed for istanbul citizens whose demography is at these 15000000 so it is a very important moment for turkey because everybody was waiting for this live debate even turkey's president's address on who's also the chairman of the ruling akbar to sat 2 days ago that this live debate show will shed a light for the next one week just prior to the election which is going to take
3:33 am
place on june 23 so the rivals in a mall and been a year of their own they are expected to tell they are projects that they they will be promising for istanbul citizens and they are discussing about what they say what they believe or what they think unfair it has been almost half an hour that the debate has begun and the debate has been going a little bit hard because both sides are accusing each other for some mistreatment of the ruling of party candidates benelli yield them say is that you know the election had to be and not because they didn't want whole watch to be recounted and as the. in some districts the votes were recounted in a stumble and when the recount happened the gap between the 2 sides. went smaller that's why been only ill that i'm say is that the there is there is a misunderstanding in the election now that is it's going to be fair as it's going to be repeated.
