part deal all the deal. the 31st let's go now to our correspondent at the barber he's joining us live from edinburgh so how is prime minister johnson's tough talk on europe being received in scotland given as 1st minister nicola sturgeon said the people of scotland didn't vote for bricks that they didn't vote for johnson for prime minister. elizabeth it's fair to say the tone of his comments is very unwelcome here in scotland among many people he's about to arrive here at nicolas cage's official residence for talks which as he said will will undoubtedly be very difficult he's coming to scotland as well as then in the next in the next few days to northern ireland into wales recommitting as he puts it his commitment to the union but nicholas sturgeon has already told him that he delivers a no deal breaks it he could be the last prime minister of a united kingdom and while he's coming with pledges of around $370000000.00 in

investment for certain places in scotland in northern ireland and wales at the same time his government saying that they're going to spend around $120000000.00 just on a public information campaign to get people ready for the idea of no deal breaks it as you said scotland voted for remade in the 2016 referendum so did northern ireland that's something nicholas sturgeon will be reminding boris johnson of when he arrives here but beyond that although she and many other politicians here have said no deal brecht's it will be unconscionable there's a lot of talk about how what's happening at the moment in london could actually boost support here in scotland for independence they rejected that in 20 votes nicolas sturgeon says she wants to try again certainly in the near future and now they miss isn't going to be an easy visit not just because of what mr sheen has said but also johnson's history with that scotland's conservative party leader and

davison she's firmly against an idea breaks that he's set to be meeting her to. that's right it's been fairly brutal what's happened is that he since he came to office has sat to david mondale the scottish secretary a close ally of ruth davidson who was a he was a. campaigner like ruth davidson and he's appointed a lever in his place now mundo has warned that the way things are going will actually weaken the union route davidson's written a newspaper article over the weekend saying that she could not support a no deal bret's it she will oppose it even though broadly she says she supports boris johnson's efforts at getting a brick seat deal but given what we've just heard that he's saying i'm not really going to talk to the other e.u. leaders unless they're willing to revisit that backstop that withdrawal agreement which they're firm that they won't the message being seen here is that he's not

really that serious he's going for this no deal breaks it and he's possibly going for a general election to make that happen thank you very much for that but the latest live and thank you. there are plenty more ahead on news hour including nigeria's president ordered the army to hunt down the gunman who killed at least $65.00 people at a funeral. not enough hospitals to treat the wounded serving in government airstrikes on rebel held in a province destroyed much needed health care facilities and england's cricketers warm up for the ashes series against australia and a former player tells us who hate things when. the united nations security council is meeting to discuss the ongoing violence in libya fightings encreased around the capital tripoli after warlord khalifa haftar

is libyan national army launched a new offensive against the un recognized government and april the latest aerial bombings targeted a field hospital in southern tripoli on saturday killing 5 doctors let's go now to our diplomatic editor james bays he is live for us at the united nations in new york the u.n. envoy calling for a truce james. a very grave situation laid out here to the u.n. security council elizabeth the u.n. special representative just sons says that for months now after the start of the offensive by general haftar he sees 2 big risks one is an ongoing low intensity conflict or even worse an escalation into out right war that's why he's come up with this new plan. well it. will be declared war there either. which would fall on or about or with the dense

that truth should be accompanied accompanied by confidence building measures between the 2 include the exchange of britain and the release of those literally gained or a back that and igs jayne's or more live in me so that's the truce and he wants that truce to be followed by a meeting of all concerned countries to get international support for the way forward in libya and vent he wants a meeting of all the key libyan personalities to come together he says that he hopes that he can get the consensus that he thought was merely being built ahead of the plans national conference that never took place because of course the start of that offensive by general haftar james thank you very much for that for now that diplomatic editor james bays of the latest from the u.n. security council thank you. now airstrikes are intensifying in syria's atala

problems despite u.n. warnings that war crimes are being committed 8 civilians have been killed in the latest round of fighting and the bombings have left fewer hospitals to treat the injured in a hall that has more from un talk in turkey near the syrian border. the intensive care unit is full of the war wounded the 3 month old russian backed syrian government offensive in northwest syria has left at least 2000 men women and children with injuries many of them severe and there aren't many hospitals still operating in the rebel held province of idlib that's because health facilities have been destroyed in airstrikes that international aid agencies say seem to be targeted attacks in breach of international humanitarian law. they leave thank you think of the number of this is really an injury is coming to us and we cannot cope with this number of basins because this number is they're being pleasing and the

kinds of injuries is different. and some like one year old the other but there we are now maimed for life civilians medical workers and health centers have all been targeted in the offensive the strategy appears to put pressure on the opposition support base in an attempt to force the rebels to surrender. after almost 8 weeks of military operations the syrian regime has been able to retrieve parts a huge chunks of the demilitarized zone if not they have proven to be quite inefficient and holding ground so after 8 weeks they've been only able to get around 1.5 percent of the demon try still on the other hand opposition's been able to get 30 script along to areas that were under regime control. it's not clear if the hind the scenes negotiations between the backers of the warring sides russia and turkey are responsible for the changes on the ground. and but for the 1st time

in weeks syrian government troops advanced into rebel held territory in northern hama they reversed the opposition's gains and this time without facing much resistance. is military support to the rebels is believed to be behind the repeated failures by the pro damascus alliance to take ground this gave turkish officials leverage over russia which recently used its own card by intensifying bombardment of civilian areas the question is whether a compromise has now been reached ahead of a new round of syria peace talks between russia turkey and iran later this week in the qatar capital nor silk on the opposition says the ceasefire needs to be revived in lib before there can be any progress on the political front that troops can't come soon enough for the syrians in the rebel held province who have already lost so much so much for their on talking. to nigeria now where the president has

ordered the army to hunt down gunman who killed at least 65 people in the northeastern bora region the victims had been attending a funeral there's been no claim of responsibility but bocal and a rival group are regularly carrying out attacks in this part of the country priyanka gupta reports. these shadrack mains are what's left of what once was someone's home. village in northeast nigeria is now the scene of the worst attack on civilians in the region this year gunmen attacked mourners gathered for a funeral on saturday in the battle that took them the day yet images acute into one. but. then they went. to the villages have gathered again this time to remember this staggering number of lives lost in just one day.

and. no one has claimed responsibility for the attack but the armed group is suspected to be behind saturday's carnage local government officials say armed villages fortified boko haram ambush 2 weeks ago 11 fighters were killed. president mahmoud abbas hari has ordered the air force and army to hunt down the attackers borno state is the epicenter of the armed rebellion by boko haram tens of thousands of people have been killed millions have been displaced after 10 years of violence. has been largely driven out of the areas they once held. but the attacks

continue and this time. even funerals have not been spared. al jazeera. has been carrying out. for over 10 years the group opposes what it calls western influence and a seeking to overthrow the nigerian state its fight has provoked a global outrage and 2014 when they kidnapped more than 270 schoolgirls in chibok tens of thousands of people have been killed and millions more displaced the government had previously said the group had been driven out of large area as attacks have continued but address has more from contouring or in northwestern nigeria. the president us who might have known has ordered the air force and the security forces while thousands of soldiers are actually in the northeast supported by fighter jets and helicopters to fight before her on one tremendous progress has

been mad famous or how to came to power when they chased out boko haram out of many territories but boko haram continues to adapt to situations like this if you lost ground but they have not lost the war completely we can continue to see such attacks over a long period of time and the experts security expert will tell you that a symmetrical warfare by conventional forces will be a very difficult battle and that's what's been facing the nigerian army as well as soldiers from the region from come roun from charred from the jet all affected by the 10 year old boy quite an insurgency the presidency is giving assurances that they are doing everything they can to deal with the problem but for a people who have been traumatized of a long period of time 10 years and then something was in may seem that the situation is over or the bad days are over and then broke out on pops again for

them it's difficult to deal with them living day by day through these mess that is unfolding in the northeast of nigeria but also they call the show who is a retired marine general an effortless caption he explains what he believes was behind the latest attack. it is very important to note that what led to this attack 2 weeks into a community in that area in the reports though is something that was not you know where delayed reported our book as they usually do they came for 4 days attacks that is to gather food or collect levy or animals from the groups if that is called budget the village just courageously decided to resist that attack and they were able to inflict a heavy casualty on the book footage and party killing 10 members of the war and collecting 10 some raffles from them which was going to be a 100 over the office to the police now it is this attack i think that boko haram

came to see reprisal and to shore their communities who might think of. defense to defend themselves. still ahead on the news hour what have more on the prominent critic alexina bombing was taken to hospital from jay and with an allergic reaction . rubbish dump the pellet. shrine and administered kashmir and the venezuelan weightlifter who got very excited about an american. helo's a little front of colder air coming down across the caspian that you just about see it running through turkmenistan and ahead of it the air is to quite warm tashkent is still 38 degrees and maybe showers developing if you're lucky but most likely

take the worst possible material you radiate the lead into dust comparable power and make a reliable and put it into a place where people live is a colossal event. as well and so many people are thinking this is the silent heat. but as it makes you feel nice you feel like a movie we have created an enormous and little mental disaster. and investigation south africa toxic city on al jazeera where there is water there is life but finding it that australia has arid deserts it is a skilled few still possess they took us to a small what spot in the sea in the desert and this was this is a very important place that i've been telling us about for the last 5 burns through training. and under orders against all odds an aging population is passing on

its knowledge the rainmakers of the outback josie. good to have you with us on the al-jazeera news hour these are our top stories china's government has reiterated its support for hong kong flu they carry land following weeks of mass protests the hong kong policy office in beijing says the demonstrations are a challenge to the rule of law. doesn't saddam say security forces have shot and killed 8 protesters and north quarter final stage high school students and activists were demonstrating against the findings of an investigation into last

month's deadly crackdown on a certain demonstration. and u.k. prime minister boss johnson isn't backing down. from his break said ultimatum during a visit to scotland that is despite fierce opposition and talk of another independence referendum johnson told the e.u. leaders they had discussed but said only when they're ready to shift their position . so let's get more on this now to get some sense of how problems johnson statements about breaks that have been received on the continent we're joined by peter clifford he's the head of open europe's brussels office and he's joining us live from there very good to have you with us on is there as a firstly do you think that european leaders will be surprised at all given johnson was saying a few weeks ago that the chance of the nardil breaks that one in a 1000000. i don't think they are surprised but they are very quickly approaching crunch time basically words were johnson has

said it is that he only wants to meet your leaders if they are prepared to reopen negotiations on the binding part of the brics it agreement that through the army group a great source for leaders to do would only be open to discuss changes to the non-binding parts so do very soon have to make up their mind if they push on that terrible dreadful no deal but yeah or not is it likely that they'll change their mind though given the very strong comments that we've heard from people like michel barnier you know john klobuchar saying that then not going to renegotiate the binding parts all the while you know bars johnson says that the irish border that's one thing that has to go the so-called backstop. well boris has not repeated that he wants to see the whole backstop gone which is

an arrangement whereby the e.u. gets a veto over when britain gets its trade policy back boris is basically for now requesting the simple principle that changes to the binding parts of the draft deal should be possible now. are. going to give into that's i think it's hard to say to mclean a day that will look at ireland because the backstop is something inserts it's 22 to reassure ireland's debt no hard border it's possible what we see in r.l. and it is that there is less and less support for the the position of the current irish government. we also see some media comments

criticizing. the prime minister so i think the pressure on ardent is going to increase because also if you look at it from the irish perspective. there are 2 options the 1st option is to be pragmatic and to make a few more concessions because aren't has already made concessions the other option is a no deal which would be followed by a hearts rich border and potentially also tensions between ireland and its continental us at summits a clip are you saying that the people of ireland themselves are open to negotiating this the backstop. even that it's hard to say there's one opinion poll showing that indeed there is less support for the for the negotiation negotiations but the stance of the irish government. as

compared to january but on the other hand you see that both sides are digging in. it's sometimes it seems that it's no longer about the content it's not it's about no longer making concessions and i think that's that's very dangerous territory i think not only are in the middle so the u.k. has to be open to making the concessions because it means perpetual negotiation many concessions will be needed in the next decades to come and it's being increasingly described you know as a game of chicken being played by boss johnson and the e.u. on the other side of course this isn't a game who would you say is going to be the big and loser here if we're really looking at russian leaving the e.u. without a deal you know. it's obvious that the u.k. is going to lose all its more but the question is does that matter if there are

20000 job losses in germany's car manufacturer industry does it matter that there are 40000 job losses in the u.k. or does it not matter at all i think the 2nd the only thing that matters is that there is going to be a lot of damage according to some estimates are it would be hit economically harder than the u.k. itself as a result of no deal breakers it so even if the e.u. as a whole is going to lose less from a no deal then the u.k. single countries that are crucial to prevent no deal like ireland may be hit more badly so so i think that's the real thing you have to look at as a clip to thank you very much for your time on this we do appreciate and that is to have a live in brussels thank you. now the lawyer for a russian opposition leader says his client was poisoned and president the personal doctor says he was suffering from a severe rash and other symptoms caused by an unknown chemical substance

a high profile kremlin critic was taken to hospital on sunday he's serving a 30 day sentence after calling for demonstrations in moscow on saturday where more than a 1000 people were detained almost. everything has been done to removed so the nothing is seen he has been injected prednisolone in huge amounts of course is practically gone but what is next or how does the body react is unknown this is a poisoning by some unknown chemical substance what it is where it was nobody can tell now has not been determined for now. i urge my colleagues that he should be left under medical supervision for at least 3 more days when the key tests and research is ready however sadly by order from above he was just to school to police to the detention room. has this update from moscow. after a strong indications that novell me would be moved from hospital to back to the

jail to serve the remainder of his sentence that's actually now happened and that's caused real concern from his medical team his doctor has been tweeting saying that she was were very concerned because. he hadn't been given the right test of figure out what was actually wrong with him when he was in the hospital and they're very concerned that if he goes back to the joe that he will simply become ill again because they don't know what caused it in the 1st place now the doctor the medical team are all insisting that the valley actually stay in hospital intel is being given the play and he's been given all the tests that you need to try and figure out what was wrong with him now they say that he's broken out in hives that's unusual for him say his medical team they say he hasn't ever had an allergic reaction before and that means that they're very worried that there may well have been some sort of poisoning involved now other people who have been in that jail have come out and spoke and they say the conditions in the jail are very dire and

people do get ill there also there's been real concerns that he has been able to meet with his legal team properly he wasn't allowed to have a private conversation with his lawyer his lawyer says that was only offered a number of arguments with the hospital and with the authorities that was able to have a very brief meeting with his client so he's now back in jail so there's real concern from his medical team that whatever made him in the 1st place as an been diagnosed properly and he could well just become ill again to the u.s. now a donald trump's chief of spies is leaving director of national intelligence dan coats has clashed with and contradicted the president of a russia iran and north korea mike hanna has more from washington. why this was the moment that it would appear most angered president trump flanked by soprano intelligence chiefs dan coats presents the annual worldwide threat assessment to the senate intelligence committee or mine and essentially says that the basis for

the president's enthusiastic endorsement top north korean good intentions is not just flawed but wrong we currently assess that north korea will seek to retain its wm d. capabilities in is unlikely to completely give up its nuclear weapons and production capabilities because its leaders ultimately view nuclear weapons as critical to regime survival in response the president angrily tweeted that intelligence should go back to school today. oh. no i disagree with certain things that they said i think on the way but time will prove that time will prove me right probably then an oval office meeting with the intelligence chiefs followed by this version of events and they said that they were totally misquoted and they were totally it was taken out of context so what i do is i'd suggest that you call them they said it was fake there so which frankly isn't surprising that this was not the 1st time they'd be in

disagreement the director of national intelligence repeatedly did mining the president's view that there was doubt about the level of russian involvement in u.s. politics and on at least one occasion visibly surprised that news coming from the white house we have some breaking news the white house has announced on twitter that lattimer putin is coming to the white house in the far. again i dan coats was the last national security figure left from the very 1st time cabinet and even though he had no intelligence background he'd earned bipartisan respect in congress with many messages of support in recent weeks. d.n.i. done coats is a good friend to former senate colleague and leader of integrity who's always served our country well said senator susan collins i served on the joint economic committee with dan coats as representative done by

a he was widely respected and trusted by everyone on both sides is a man of integrity but trump doesn't want integrity he wants people who tell him what he wants to hear and intil leaders who will agree that 2 plus 2 equals 5 and i beautiful spring day it's unlikely that dan coats will read to children with his wife at another white house easter egg roll. it was a boy. if it was a girl and enjoy a disagreement with no consequence to like the story mike hanna al-jazeera washington to iraq now with the government wants to see a big increase in oil production more than 90 percent of the conference revenue comes from oil and gas bought years of war and new environmental challenges and making it difficult to attract vital international investment asama bin job day the reports from the much noon oil field. these engineers are practicing how to respond
