a level that that are criminal gangs who have also come in and taken advantage of advantage of the situation and this criminal gangs and are 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 for 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 1434 major smaller camps in some forested alone so 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 cattle through farmlands if one is we spoke to say that these farm lines have been expanded into grazing areas and cattle routes or for cattle for migration publishes and through

that stage set the stage of conflict between the 2 sides and now the conflict has moved from the arab north depart into the central parts of nigeria and into the southwest where we've seen in the last 2 years hundreds of people have been killed . lots more still to come for you here on the news including the contenders for the u.k.'s next prime minister clash in a t.v. debate but why wasn't the front runner. had serious white helmets being targeted by governments and russian jets while they're trying to save lives plus the. chelsea manager leaves the club after just one season in charge. of sudan. has been taken to the public prosecutor's office after he was charged with corruption this was his 1st appearance in public since he was overthrown in

few days where one in a few good arm we are prepared to hand over power the protesters say they want a government of technocrats that's fine with us we want the same thing but here's the problem the protesters are in favor of an unelected parliament to eradicate the military council. how miti told the crown that the perpetrators of the crackdown will be executed but many accuse hannity himself along with the had of the military council of the violence. on the streets the protesters remain defiant. i don't think you'll be just investigation if it's the military council investigating i'm one of the victims no one came to ask me anything criminals must not be the same people investigating the attack many sudanese say they are angry with the military council yes it isle of man is a rebel leader who had been in exile he returned to sudan after the military

former president abdelaziz bouteflika in april has been conditionally released elections are planned protesters are continuing to call for the removal of beautifully allies before any vote. iran's expected to detail a further reduction in its commitments to the 2050 nuclear deal now the president hassan rouhani has told a meeting of asian leaders into stand that he wants other sick distrust the pact to protect iran from u.s. sanctions the u.s. pulled out of the deal last year. tensions between the u.s. and iran have risen ever since washington blamed tehran for explosions on 2 tankers in the gulf of oman last week however the us democratic chair of the house intelligence committee is concerned that the white house is sending mixed messages on iran certainly the president has said that he doesn't want war but nonetheless his people and i don't know what this is pump aoe or bolton or both seem to be

taking actions to undercut that to stay out of warfare at this time when the president sent a message apparently through the japanese prime minister of an interest in going back to the table to negotiate bolton was announcing new sanctions on iran now is that an effort to scuttle the president's effort to initiate a dialogue it certainly seemed to have that effect. but i think the the whole idea that somehow through this pressure campaign we were going to force around to compare chile and say ok we'll come back to the table give up everything was naive dangerously naive in the 1st place and this is what our allies are reacting to the courts order the wife of the israeli prime minister to pay $15000.00 after she was found guilty of misusing state funds but benjamin netanyahu was in court with instead he chose to inaugurate a new israeli settlement in the occupied golan heights it's been named trump heights in the u.s. president after he recognized israeli sovereignty over the territory contrary to

international law or a force that reports from west jerusalem. in the early evening sunshine the israeli prime minister and the u.s. ambassador unveiled what had hardly been a secret in golden font they you know be rated trump heights a planned new settlement in the occupied golan heights for now at least it's just a sign but for benjamin netanyahu an important symbol of. the golan was and it will always be an integral part of our country the golan is an israeli it's important to stress this again and again we are not strangers in the go a long way ahead due to our national vote which have been deep here for thousands of years. it was a fank you to the u.s. president who to fishley recognized israel's claim on the golan heights seized from syria in 1967 and considered occupied territory under international law at the height of the israeli election campaign in late march america's ambassador to israel who sat in on the cabinet noted so far only one place in israel had been

named after a sitting president the one who recognized the new jewish government in $148.00 president trump will be honored to be america that small cadre of heroes of israeli heroes of harry truman and battle trump i think they belong together and i think they are they will always be known as the 2 greatest presidents for the state of israel and i might be a little biased if i would say i think mine is just a little bit better is really opposition parties are calling this event a publisher the stunt saying netanyahu is interim government can't legally create the new settlement that will have to wait until after september's elections that unprecedented 2nd vote in a year follows netanyahu failure to form a coalition government last month and the likely impact of that election on donald trump's long delayed peace plan is now becoming clearer on sunday israel confirmed that it would be attending the u.s. led economic workshop in bahrain but trumps regional envoy jason green that also

said that the release of the political part of the plan might well be affected by israel's election but netanyahu the election is bound up with his own legal fate he faces 3 pending charges for corruption failing to form a government has hurt his chances of passing immunity legislation ahead of his 1st indictment hearing in early october. on sunday his wife sarra was ordered to pay $15000.00 u.s. dollars after being convicted of benefiting from a mistake in a case involving the use of public money to purchase meals for her family so yes i want to go taking public funding significant amounts throughout several years against the rules and struction is a criminal offense that carries conviction and concrete financial punishment but it's benjamin netanyahu own pending cases would resent by far the bigger threat to his position electioneering is under way and as of a netanyahu the stakes are high perry force at al-jazeera western. let's talk to him in rabbani he's coeditor of

a middle east focused on line magazine called july and he joins us on skype from washington mean welcome back to the news our trump heights ramat trump what does it say about the access axis between washington and jerusalem. i think it says some very important thing is your correspondent reference is really politicians and journalists about denouncing this as a media ready or p.r. stunt and there is a while amount of truth in that but i think more importantly this demonstrates that the united states and israel seeking to resolve the core issues of the earth israeli conflict bilaterally in other words without reference to either the consensus of the international community or the chorus of international law and un resolutions and so on that regulate to determine how do you see this so it was all of them acting that's where our focus should be which then means that the key issue

now is how is the international community go to our own whether to do this whether it's to be always. seen as weak united states recognition of israeli sovereignty over jerusalem and not losses or the expected upcoming aps of israeli and excess in the west bank which presumably will also order. but instead say of talking about the jerrold cushion a peace plan which you and i should be talking about by now because we've been being told for months and months and months it's on its way we're talking about a photo opportunity which when they start actually building this trump tower the symbolism of that alone will be very very significant. i'm going to disagree with you on this point the reasons the 1st is that what we're seeing now in terms of unilateral u.s.

actions to recognize illegal israeli acts of congress is the trump those are the things that have actually been happening on the ground and those are the things that are making a difference and need to be confronted secondly it has consistently been meit was a so planned course or doesn't exist we could disagree about this but i would also point out that the conventional wisdom among those who believe that there is a plot is that it would have to be released prior to early september what's called labor day here in the united states because after that the u.s. presidential election contest begins in earnest and it would be really quickly too costly for us at the station to miss the plot and what the situation now tomorrow is with the upcoming 2nd israeli election in september that effectively forecloses the possibility that the plan will be released prior to the american presidential election so whether or not you believe that

a plan exists and again and i've consistently believed that it doesn't. it's not going to be released any time soon and i would argue with your last ones what we've seen seen today is that politically advantageous for benjamin netanyahu or given you talked about the elections there coming in september after the inconclusive result or the horse trading that followed the inconclusive result of the the original election a couple of weeks back now what will he try and spin that into being politically advantageous for himself. indeed i think one thing that netanyahu will want to show is that he's the best placed in syria we can for there to take this relationship with the united states and specifically with the trumpet in the station to greater heights and i would similarly expect the trumpet ministers in the acting sue people such as u.s. ambassador to israel david friedman and so on also to seek to find ways to support

to netanyahu in his reelection campaign i think that's partly where we're heading when rabbani in washington thank you. almost $800.00 undocumented migrants have been fun packed into a cargo truck or cargo trucks plural in mexico now they've been taken to a migrant facility about half of them were children the drivers of the trucks were arrested the government under pressure from washington to curb the number of people crossing into the united states. plenty more ground still to cover here on the news including a plan for peace in libya but the country's internationally recognized prime minister rules out talks with the man behind an attack on tripoli. also ahead how a power failure across several south american countries left millions in the dark plus. i'm a warning is in manchester where the biggest game in cricket played the right in the uk but pakistan.

hour here in doha go top stories let's just show you the latest live pictures of semi tense situation going on there in hong kong protests continuing to demonstrate in hong kong they want a controversial extradition bill dropped in the territories due to kerry stepped up police did let the protesters camped out overnight but now say they want to clear the streets those of late speeches of course the protest yesterday went from victoria park to the legislative council complex along tennessee road people wearing symbols of white to symbolize the one person who reportedly fell to the free just assumes we can win a fight scene between ethnic groups in the democratic republic of congo killing at least 160 people nearly 40 villages were destroyed and more than 100000 people have been forced to flee in the eastern province of it over the past week. vigils have been held in mali following a series of attacks that killed almost 100 people the international criminal court is investigating allegations of crimes against humanity. let's get more on the

story out of the day is head of programs of the center for policy research at the united nations university he joins us live from new york the day why is this region so tense well i think it's a few related factors one is the conflict between the 2 communities has been escalating over the last few months there was a large killing last week against the doggone community and an even larger one in march against the fulani community and there's a sense that they are mobilizing in an increasing degree and one of the reasons that tension is rising is because there are accusations that the fulani community has been supporting some of jihadist groups in the central part of of mali which has created a sense of the need to mobilize group more and the 3rd factor is really that climate change has brought these communities into each other in far more direct contact over time and with the absence of the mali and government in the central

part of mali there really isn't much stopping this escalation right now and with the un also focused largely in the north and in some of the urban areas there is little to stop it from continuing in this tit for tat over time ok when you talk about the un being focused in the north there are people like yourselves who say the center of gravity of this conflict is going from the north of the country to the central belt of the country the central region what are the potential consequences of that. well i think one of the most important things to recognize is that from 2013 to 2015 there was a relatively successful process there was in elections there was a peace agreement in the north the u.n. was largely deployed to oversee that peace agreement and is largely its resources are focused on that and in some of the urban areas now that the conflict is moved to the center one of the implications is that the u.n. may not be balanced in terms of where the real risks to civilians are and also may

be focused on a political process where none of the parties in the central part of the country are actually involved in that peace process so i think the security council met last week and is going to adopt a mandate and part of the discussions that are going on is whether more focus should be on this conflict in the center and more resources might need to be moved to address that and i think the question now is should the political emphasis also shift and starting gauging some of these communities a bit more always saying that there needs to be a refresh twin truck approach almost i mean what there are $10000.00 plus u.n. people on the ground in the country already some people like yourself say this is one of the world's worst disasters waiting to happen and yet the peace process so-called for what 2024 months or so has gone precisely no place yeah exactly and meanwhile the center of the country has become the most dangerous part of the country but i think one of the challenges they face is none of the parties in the center appear ready to talk and the government doesn't seem willing

to talk to joe hottest groups either like a tivo messina and so i think one of the big questions for the current molly in government is whether it can survive with its current approach without actually politically engaging and without really addressing some of the underlying tensions between the communities let alone the extremist groups as well adam the great to talk to thanks so much for joining us from new york. libya's un recognized prime minister is offering a road map for peace to end the 5 year long a civil war however. he will not negotiate with the warlords after who launched an offensive 2 months ago to take tripoli and i have to believe that meeting have to for me personally is too late now we've met more than 6 times throughout the past years it seems at the end that he was only trying to gain time the last meeting was in abu dabi we were trying based on that meeting to launch

a forum on the 4th of april but what he had done on the floor out of foolishness was a stab in the back which eradicated the political process i will not sit down with that person one more time because what he has done throughout the past years has proven that i have not found a partner in the political process ok let's get more on the story for you with the latest. it's the 2nd speech to be delivered up by libya's. prime minister. but this is different from the 1st the speech in this speech. is announcing a new stage of the political settlement in libya and it seems that he's announcing a road map to include civil categories of the libyan political landscape but not with the warlord that is indicating that the negotiations between the rival factions before april the 4th that's when half those forces

launch of the military offensive in tripoli is different from the negotiations after april 4th so now it seems that the meetings held was the elderly. personalities from the east of libya during the past weeks the past few weeks in tunisia to choose people to be. of the warlord who for have to take part in the political process is. turning our attention to the aftermath of brics it candidates vying to become the next british prime minister taking part in a televised debate the discussion centered on how they would strike a deal to leave the european union however boris johnson the favorite to take over as leader of the governing conservative party wasn't there and how it has more from london. thanks in the end it was a show without its leading man with no sign of boris johnson the front runner in

the u.k. leadership contest his absence at this 1st televised debate collaring lee. leaving the rest of the candidates to stay why they should become the next conservative party leader by default u.k. prime minister and with the opportunity to take a flight at an absent johnson where is boris if his team won't allow him out to debate with 5 pretty friendly colleagues how's he going to fare with $27.00 european countries the conundrum that is brecht's it and what to do about it of course dominated the debate argued for bracks it right from the beginning i led the leave campaign i will deliver bracks it a responsible prime minister would prepare for a new deal and i think if we prepare properly which we haven't done for 3 years that it will actually bring on a deal and that's the best way to end this uncertainty to actually have that deal this leadership contest is an issue of trust and the only one i believe who can be trusted to get us out by the end of october i mean this is in the 1st ballot of

this contest boris johnson britain's paul more foreign minister secured a $114.00 votes from with parties m.p. is nearest rival receive just portie 3 johnson defended his refusal to take part in the debate by saying he was staying away because the public had had enough of party infighting tourism a got the top job back in 2016 when her final wible withdrew from the leadership race some called it a coronation content. as in this latest battle a determined that won't happen again saying the path won't be cleared for boris johnson to get the keys to downing street they are not going to get a different deal we all know that whoever does went will have to do what a reason may fail to do and deliver britain's exit from the e.u. rarely though in conservative leadership contest is that from actually when if we were talking about a wide vote where the public were involved then maybe you know you would see people

like what we see to it you did when the room today i think he would have a bit more popular support i don't think he has that much support when it comes to party members who are very much kind of i think embarrasses camm their perspective leaders will hope they'll have done enough to win more though the head of the next ballot on tuesday despite his absence here some still till the leadership is boris johnson's to win or throw away i mean he would just there. was staying with politics to turkey the 2 contenders to be the mayor of istanbul have taken part in a t.v. debate a week before the election rerun the former prime minister banally yields of them and the opposition candidate. complaining again after the elections in march was declared void. had been declared the winner but the election council ordered a rerun after complaints from the governing a k party over irregularities and violations of election law.
