12:05 am
a few hours ago blaming the attack on criminal gangs and outlaws so it's still unclear at this point who exactly is responsible the protesters themselves have blamed militia as well as parties for this attack but this is something that hasn't been confirmed at the moment the parliament has also called for an extraordinary session tomorrow morning several military commanders to try to better understand this situation but for now the slower the response of the government has been very slow and has raised concerns among protesters that as this violence really risks escalating even more the government should take a much stronger stand and push for a fast investigation to really bring those responsible to account. the u.s. president donald trump pass thanked iran for very fanning association has the lead to a prisoner swap between the 2 countries she won a u.s. citizen sentenced to 10 years in prison in iran on spying charges was released in

found guilty in 2017 and sentenced to 10 years here in iran now princeton university where she where one is a researcher his wife and the u.s. government maintains that it was here for research purposes here to study the dentistry at least 19 people have been killed in syria strikes carried out by russia and the assad regime they targeted 2 religious in the province of idlib the last remaining rebel held area in syria activists say children are among the dead around 25000 syrians have fled the province in the past week alone after an escalation in asteroids. is the director of policy analysis at the arab center for research and policy studies he says despite the violence the syrian government and russia have actually been more restrained in italy. there are 4000000 syrians who are already in. and i believe the russians are very clear full actually not to
12:08 am
stage an all out onslaught against our province this is on one hand on the other hand because that would indeed provoke an hour to clear by the internet an article by the international community but on the other hand future of it is very much related right now to the understanding between the russians and the turks who have already signed 2 agreements concerning the future of italy or the latest one actually it was last september when the 2 countries tried actually to revive the sochi agreement in which he agreed to establish something like an or a demilitarized zone but i think the syrian regime and its national allies are trying right now in fact to gain control of the mean roads between. and also between the talkie and the lower body out of mainly interested in gaining

control of the m 4 and the m 5. still to come the only news hour. was demonstrations in india against violence towards women after the deaths of 2 rape victims australia firefighters struggle to gain the upper hand after several bushfires compiling to form one mega fire and in sports financial struggling now police could call off a much needed when it's only in football action coming up later on. investigators in florida are questioning 10 saudi nationals in connection with the deadly shooting at a u.s. naval base on friday mohammed saeed. was taking politan a u.s. navy training program and the base in pensacola he killed 3 of his fellow students
12:10 am
and injured at least 8 before he was shot by sheriff's detectives are now investigating whether the shooting was an act of terrorism for more on this let's go to mike hanna who is live for us in washington d.c. mike what more do you know about this gunman and indeed any of the others that were in the vicinity at the time. both sue 1st thing is that the secretary of defense has just made a statement saying it's too soon to categorize this as an act of terror asking for investigators to be allowed to do and finish their job however it would appear that the is a number of people potentially involved in this attack apart only from the government 10 saudi nationals have been arrested on the base they are being detained at present and the associated press reports a u.s. official as saying that one of these saudi nationals actually filmed the attack while it was taking place inside
12:11 am
a complex of carlos rooms now the gunman himself was a 22 year old saudi arabian air force officer a 2nd left tenant he went to the base in august 2017 on a 3 year training program along with a number of other saudi nationals taking part in that particular program but the reports emerging do indicate the potential for this to be a conspiracy rather than the isolated act of a single individual and certainly that is what investigators are focusing on at this particular time and of course these training programs are all that sort of fostering better relations between these 2 very solid allies is what has been the reaction coming out of saudi arabia about about the shooting. well it's very interesting to note the speed of the response from saudi arabia the saudi king was very quick to phone president trump to offer his nation's condolences to stress the
12:12 am
warm relations between the u.s. and saudi arabia now it's significant that it is king someone who made the call and not the crown prince emphasizing exactly how important. issue of u.s. saudi relations is in riyadh now we do know as well that f.b.i. investigators are in riyadh at present they are working together with the saudi intelligence services looking into the background of this gunman so there is cooperation very strong cooperation on the investigative front but certainly the fact that a number of other saudi nationals have been detained on that particular base a cause for concern to saudi arabia in particular many thanks michael i kind of a line for us about that shooting in florida. now to india where a rape victim who was doused in petulant set on fire has died of her injuries the 23 year old was attacked on thursday in the state of our pradesh while she was on
12:13 am
her way to court to give evidence against her alleged assailants she don't police 5 men beaten and stabbed before setting her on fire i mean one of the 4 suspects accused of rape and murder in hyderabad was shot dead by police on friday a court has directed the police to preserve the bodies in order to properly investigate the killings the police shooting is being condemned by rights activists that praised by many in india and china for her says the latest cases of rape have intensified frustrations across the country. people are very angry there are several protests that have been organized in several cities across the country we've seen the similar similar protests back in december 2012 when a girl was raped in a bus and then later she died of her injuries then the government had made the law most stringent about now the people are demanding an even more stringent law and even the family of the girl is saying that all the accused must be hanged and that
12:14 am
must be done quickly that reflects how people have sort of lost faith in the justice system there been many delays back then the government has said that many fast track courts would be set up the justice is done quickly somewhere but not as many as promised and certainly not as many would need it the scary part is that the conversation has moved from following the legal procedure to obtain justice to justice anyhow and that comes in the killings of the 4 accused in hyderabad by the police many people including even the family of the girl who died last night the family from with the police there say that either you hang the accused and do it quickly or even if the police shoot them down that fine with us and that is what is worrying many human rights activists because once that starts once to this public sanction for police to go out and kill people then where does that stop and the death of a 2 women has caused outrage in new delhi. dozens
12:15 am
of blindfolded people have taken part in a flash mob in the capital they chanted protest songs against rape culture in solidarity with the victims. the u.n. is migration agency says a boat carrying up to $180.00 migrants was intercepted by the mauritanian coast going on for a day it was discovered in the same waters where at least $63.00 people including children drowned near the city of now i know just 2 days ago the un's international organization for migration in mauritania says both boats left from gambia although there were at least 6 senegalese survivors on the boat that capsized on wednesday the rest were headed to spain's canary islands this migrant route is dangerous and poorly mollett says some 158 people on known to have done it trying to reach the canary islands so far this year up from 43 last year but it's becoming more popular as authorities clamp down on mediterranean crossings to europe particularly from
12:16 am
libya but unlike previous cases for me there have been denied access to the migrants mohammed fall is in our behavior to an mauritania's coast and says there's been a lot of speculation as to why that is. the mauritania authorities have in the past been very cooperative with the media they even invited the international media and the local media to see how they treated the migrants of so the n.g.o.s the u.n. agencies of every interest in showing that they are dealing in a very good way with these migrants they that situation now the new situation the obscurantism and the lack of access for the media has given rise to some speculations about why this time around this issue is and has been blocked from the eyes of the international public speculations talked about but that the facilities were not up to standards when those people suddenly. showed up on the shore but
12:17 am
also the authorities here and the ngos are saying about the case of a speculations you know also given rise to because these are the people who died were buried very quickly with coordination between the 3 countries mauritania senegal and the gambia they were buried outside the city in a matter of they are even less than dot. not clear why this time around they are being secretive about it for more on this we can speak to our chief of mission for the international organization for migration in mauritania she joins us now live from the capital via skype thanks very much for coming into our festival just pick up on that point the mohamad vall mentioned that the media are not being given access to the survivors being brought back i understand your chain has had some direct access any idea why they're being kept to paul. well i cannot comment on that honestly we've had an excellent cooperation with the mauritanian authorities
12:18 am
from day one of the shipwreck we've been able to access directly to the place where the migrants have been brought to the survivors so really for us it's been a very good cooperation experience with america and for those families in gambia and indeed senegal that are concerned that their relatives may be involved how do they find out. yeah this is really tragic in the last few days we've been contacted by watts up of phone calls from a lot of families who believe their relatives were in the boat so now we've set up a referral together with the international red cross and red crescent society here in mary to me as well as with the gambian rector red cross in order to be able to connect the families we possibly the members of. the accident meaning the survivors as well as the death ones will ensure those details
12:19 am
are on the al jazeera website just talk to me if you could a little bit about the fact that we now have these 2 dreadful tragedies in the space of just a few days on this particular route is this are we now seeing a switch of the traffickers taking people in this particular area and over say that that sort of target appears to be spain's canary islands. well 1st of all we have to make a distinction the accident happened on wednesday was a shipwreck so it was a really a 5 time accident with 62 people died and 7887 sorry survivors the other interception which happened yesterday was an interception done by the mauritanian coast guards. with no death as we know and it's part of their routine checks on the coast east through that this so-called western mediterranean route has been spiking up in terms of arrival in 2018 not because
12:20 am
we've seen more than 58000 migrants arriving on the shores of spain and some have also passed through really can area and. we cannot speculate on why this is. rising again as a possible new migratory root of all the new migratory route one of the reason could be because libya is in turmoil we learned from the survivors that some of them had already gone to our producer for instance or even to germany or switzerland and then there had been deported back and now trying this new route so reasons could be many obviously this is very much speculation that it's very poorly monitored what is the way to stop these charges do you think is it to have more monitoring more ships out on the say off the coast to try and stop the traffic is moving people or we are really looking at the roots of why people are leaving from
12:21 am
this particular countries. well actually this route is quite well monitored darkie least in front of america in your thanks to the excellent cooperation between the mauritanian authorities and spanish ones. are his lead there are various various factors that could decrease those tragedies one be area of work should be increasing of the legal pathways to allow people to migrate regularly and legally and in a safe way that would reduce of course in a significant way those barriers journeys that people turn to try wanting to possibly leave poverty or inequalities or marginalization very grateful for talking to as alair i learned the right to speak interest only its national organization for migration to not try. and fighters loyal to libya's un recognized government say they shot down
12:22 am
a fighter jet belonging to warlord after the incident reportedly happened in the south of tripoli there's a western coastal city of zawiya after us forces have been fighting to take the capital from the internationally recognized government of national accord mahmoud abdullah while had has the latest from tripoli. brigadier general ham would ignore the spokesman of the army led by the u n a government of national accord said that their forces managed to shut down a pro have to fighter jet. in southern tripoli but apparently the jet was captured actually the fighter of the pilot was captured by rebels from the city of zawiya apparently the fighter jet was hit by pro-government fighters in southern tripoli namely around. a military
12:23 am
camp in southern tripoli but it just landed in their neighboring get western coastal city of zawiya and activists from the city of the zawiyah have been posting get pictures of what they call the wreckage of the fighter jet and also of the pilot's home they say a libyan pilot loyal to the world plea for have to do with the name of. muhammad we know that this is not the 1st time after the fighter jets being shot down by pro-government forces but we also know that fighter jets wars have been very crucial in this battle for the capital tripoli and the government forces have those fighter jets of targeting residential areas several times since the beginning of the fighting back in april. now to lebanon where thousands of women have marched in the capital beirut to protest against sexual harassment women are fighting to
12:24 am
change a system they say has been unjust to them as i now other reports from beirut the protest movement has also given them a new platform to raise their voices against sectarian politics. they are speaking out in solidarity with those who recently gathered the courage to do so a flash mob was organized by lebanese women to support others who have been sexually abused harassed dozens have broken their silence in the past few weeks since the start of the so-called october revolution in a society where the victim and not the rapist is condemned this is a challenge to the norms the servant has given strength to many many many women in the minority. the women speak up including myself about mobile atrocities that are happening that the government is not taking into consideration. an anti-establishment movement against the ruling elite has given these women
12:25 am
a new platform like other lebanese they are calling for an end to corruption unemployment better living conditions and an overhaul of the political system there are so many discriminatory laws against women and i'm going to just state the main source of the problem it's the fact that we have no civil code for personal status so basically there are religious courts that's run our and fairs lebanon is home to many religious sects whose leaders preside over personal domestic issues such as marriage and divorce women have. been vocal role in the protest movement against their leaders they have taken part in protests a blocked roads led reconciliation and by crossing front lines in order to preserve national unity for many of them this is their chance to bring down the sector. and political system that human rights groups say make them victims. activists say one
12:26 am
in every 4 lebanese women have been assaulted yet there are no laws that criminalize sexual abuse and harassment women also have little protection from going to partners the custody of children more often than not is granted to fathers and the list goes on brings about change will be. the greatest things are cheap to small steps. so i will i would always encourage to just take that slow because all we need is patience if we want to peaceful protest if you want to peaceful revolution we're going to have to give it its type women who have been challenging the system for years are no longer alone and calling for a secular state the uprising may have divided society but these women believe there is already a new beginning to settle for their leader beirut. still to come on al-jazeera this news hour. tension burning tradition is gaining some younger followers and good things come to those who wait as the world's top ranked amateur golfer

12:34 am
seen is actually a decline in 2 percent of the global oxygen level they have been reduced by 2 percent and it doesn't sound like a lot but just these 2 small changes will have enormous implications and but within that is actually a lot of regional differences so we can take an example south southeast coast of the fornia into deeper waters we've seen a decline in 30 percent oxygen level in the last 25 years so how does this all effects you know life in the ocean and ultimately us and because we're dependent on it for the regulatory system so deal qsa generation will have an impact on biodiversity on biomass of commercially important species and vulnerable species or rare species but also habitats so those oxygen rich and which are favorable conditions as to some species will shrink these are shrinking as habitats but also
