a raid on an army base. typhoon 5 fun seeps through the philippines causing havoc with strong winds and heavy rain. we begin this news hour in northern syria where thousands of people are fleeing the last rebel stronghold of lib province syrian government forces and their russian allies are closing in on the city of mar at newman other parts of italy but been under attack for weeks now while that goes on many syrians are in search of safer conditions for their families thousands are heading towards turkey the violence has displaced more than 130000 people this month alone. till now the only model may god take revenge on all those who caused this what have we done to deserve this what have we done i plead to god for mercy god to punish them for

displacing us accusing all of this for humiliating us for god's sake with being good to live. oh mama dog joins us from. turkey's border with syria a moment we've seen this unfolding for several days now this increasingly worsening humanitarian crisis what are people facing there what are you seeing. while they're facing all kinds of dangers from the blitz cut it out by a russian city and falls. under costs of bombarding villages and towns rules say the top been intended to send these people out of their homes so that the syrian government forces can have a free han dealing with the rebels who are in control of large parts of it we've seen long queues of vehicles. coming to

a bubble how entry point to turkey they're not being allowed to call so of calls and they are setting up comes along that road. to go into some big tents that have been put up by turkish chided te's living together in these. places because the winter is getting worse and it's getting colder and what is happening right now is the turkish chided telling us that they are working around the clock to ensure that these people have halted mills and also have what they need but then there are laws who are stuck for the off field along the road and they're fearing for their health because they don't talk proper sanitation or access to food and mohamed while turkish charities are working with the people turkey is saying they won't be allowed into the country it does raise the question about what happens to these people. well they're cornered and they have nowhere else

to go turkey is saying that it doesn't anymore potato of dealing with another exiled us off the case of refugees there are about 3500000 syrian refugees living in techie and techie very much wants to return them back to that so called saves on its face it does a stub list and learned that that bit taken from cutlash led forces in october what they are saying is they need the money for building the necessary amenities to take this vote for years by home and they do not want any more coming in turkish president tehran is saying that they have used up to 40000000000 dollars caring for syrian refugees and they do not have any more. i mean the goodwill is locking up the moment so turkey is now calling on russia to. facilitate some sort of cease fire but again russia is typically involved in this

operation that is taking place in very keen to help its ally with take the last bit of territory under rebel control so it is not clear whether this plea is going to be heard at all mohamed thank you mamma don't there live from turkey's border with syria. well turkey's president is in tunisia where he's urging action to win the fighting in libya richard typer the one made a surprise visit to libya's neighbor for talks with president need to one said he believed news you can promote stability in libya earlier turkey announced it may deploy troops to back the buz un recognized government which has been facing a month long offensive by warlord only for half his forces. muz. you know we are not guests without an invitation and if it comes we shall look into it we are in constant communication with them however we should raise an issue the

forces president libya more than $5000.00 troops from sudan what are they doing there we should ask why are these forces present in libya a request was made to turkey and that's why turkey answered the call based on the agreement related to our economic zone we have signed agreements to rely on and our moods are based on legality and lawful forms however the other foreign troops have no legality to be present on libyan soil in addition have to are is not a legitimate representative of the libyan people. we are live now to our. who is in tripoli a must move while president who wanted to newsier is talking potential cease fire that would appear a very unlucky possibility when. well here is trying to show that it can play a constructive and valuable all in establishing a ceasefire in libya remember this hostage most of the peace talks

sessions between libya rivals over the past 3 years and that was sponsored by the united nations support the mission in libya and now tunis as a neutral party can be a potential mediator for establishing peace again in libya but it seems that turkey is trying to play a big good at all in the region by gaining more allies and by incorporating get tunisian rule in establishing ceasefire in libya and meanwhile erdogan has been trying to show that. he is dealing with in terms of the recent military corporation deals with the government of national accord. is trying to show that turkey is dealing with the libyan legitimate institution which is the

government the government of national accord he also compared his corporation or to his corporation with the government to the other corporation between have to and the other regional powers which have been supporting him for years he said that. he is unlike the other countries supporting have to because those supporting have to supporting an illegitimate institution he means have to the administration in the east of libya. remember that he said in many occasions that turkey is willing to a central. to the government of national court only if a quest it by is a government stand but return to that map or the other wired from tripoli or something handy is the editor of international interest that's a coward affairs magazine with a focus on the middle east and north africa he says a visit to tunisia was significant i think let's remember the context these are

discussions are taking place in turkish delegation went to yesterday to russia to discuss it live and if there were talks that they discussed in libya as well russia has implied that it's ready to entertain the prospect of mediation techie doesn't actually want to send troops it feels that it doesn't want to be forced to send troops to libya it prefers the idea of mediation if we follow this line of thought then we should assume that it does if your party's want agreed to go to moscow for talks because they believe moscow is backing have and the parties that back have to want to go to an car or turkey to discuss talks tunisia is the perfect middle ground is it is a neighboring country it's not backing any of the parties it's a perfect place for the parties together and indeed i stated last week showed an intention to invite the libyan parties to discussions so when we put all of these dynamics together it may well be that ed again has as has has gotten something from

moscow or gotten some assurances that they are interested in mediation as well and this is now about setting up this mediation to take place in tunisia. well there's plenty more ahead on the news including. iraq but the choice does little to protests political tensions and other moves by india's government has critics fearing more discrimination against muslims. in sport the. english teams. of a football club. has declared 2 days of national mourning after an attack that killed at least $35.00 people it happened in the northern region of the military says it's killed the attackers no group has claimed responsibility but. we have to think

about solidarity and national cohesion people women for the most part were getting water and got murdered in cold blood by the terrorists while they were retreating you must show compassion with the populations that is why all flags will fly at half mast for 2 days and all christmas celebrations are canceled. he says groups have taken advantage of the political instability in the region. over the past years we've seen the fallout and the importation and movement of fighters as well as arms and munitions from the conflict in libya into this house into parts of west africa and how these have helped groups in this region to execute their activities or other to push their agenda in this region so in addition also governments in the region have not addressed the key issues that give rights to these local armed groups in the possibilities for example the issue of poverty of issue of education employment and of course government presences so many

communities so these fighters when they come into these areas they explode the situation allying with them with local communities sometimes they even render humanitarian services to this community and also there is that threat of fia be used to give the civilian population if they spy on them or help the government forces now before it became a fossil was once a pocket of calm in the sahara region but security has deteriorated over the past 5 years the removal of long time president blaise come pouring in october 2014 created a security vacuum which has been exploited by several groups as well as homegrown fighters groups from mali affiliated with al qaida and still have crossed the border igniting ethnic and religious tensions the u.n. says more than 700 people have been killed since 2015 and almost half the median have been displaced michael moore is

a visiting senior fellow at for all the center for africa at london school of economics and he joins us on skype from kent it's nice to have you with us while we see an attack such as this no what does it tell us about these fighters these groups and the strength that they have. well it tells us that these groups are very detachments to actually want to settle down and the slimy kind of fates oh i dislike stayed in the sun engine but he also tells us actually that book an officer and other key fact countries are paying the price for the our contribution to the global war on terror reference sample host to join basis who is too many to fascinate so that actually be used to combat the global war on terror and not part of the backlash over we are also aware of this feel of our of he said to cease from mali and chat to us book and i asked him one of the things the question still has that has been answered here is just who these groups linked with

and it's widely speculated that potentially outside groups such as al qaida or eisel how do you say that. these that they had as he said this is beyond makes you the slimy states for the group to sally sara are you also linked to i. suppose the answer to that islamabad yes i am and i am as they also call our or have links to al-qaeda and the slug state and that kind of look written and then with support for each other to launch these attacks against civilians michel this attack comes of course just a week after we saw the french president i'm on your microphone in the region and questions about the level of commitment ongoing commitment to france for that fight against these groups and the call for international support so what is more more is needed internationally and what is lacking in the security forces within the sail

to be able to deal with this threat. this is a very important question to ask a said anywhere on the site can trees have made a major role in the pool or in terror particularly in hosting military bases joint basis facilities for example i have of course is not going to be hosting an anti terror training camp so they are clearly got packed negligeable aren't tear out and as a result i receive in the backlash for the contribution so it is expected that it's not community will also be supporting and now it's not the time for the us for example to draw in to be drawing down on forces of facilities are actually in the other international community to actually decide not to support our asses expect it i mean detroit has been holding a few major meetings recently like 4 days ago trying to see how best we can actually govern its forces and defeat these these islamist forces and there's

a lot going to be any team in january with the fire and present macro to try to thrash us a lot of these things i think what we really need 8 it's a coalition of strong effort this track teaching capability to try and actually step up to defeat the said and seize as much as they also sent in that to actually the iranians. just a final thought from you as well while there are the bigger geo political questions there are also questions that are much more domestic in nature and we heard from our reporter a failure of countries like begin to faso to deal with issues such as poverty that's fueling some of this. i mean that's also very true but it's like a period of fear and i mean that existed before the global war on terror but existed before the current he said in cease and that is not going to go our way in the next 23510 yes so really the actual solution where i am an x.

it's a military solution to defeat they said it's use and actually you know you stop it from happening. and that's really where the constitution ought to be coming but cannot possibly ask you know hasn't got the minute you capability to protect it's not in territories that we hope that after course now agreed to host and you and terrorism truly can the question has been asked even is going to be a nice agency in long island coast where they're actually going to build protect themselves as a result of any backlash for hosts in that terrorism training camp so it's actually a military solution where you can abstract dress the problem if she wants social issues southers poverty it can be tracked this. can be looked at in the course of time but all of our thank you again for joining us thank you. iraq's largest parliamentary bloc is nominated assad. to be the next prime minister but

despite governing the oil rich province of bosphorus since 2017 the syria candidate has been rejected by iraqi protesters who are calling for an independent candidate now his nomination comes after prime minister margy resigned last month under pressure from government protests more than 450 people have been killed in the demonstrations that have ripped iraq since october calling for a complete overhaul of the political system will go live now to 14 in baghdad to tell us more about who could potentially be the next prime minister of iraq. well i thought i laid down is the nominee of the iranian backed. he is now the official nominee that has been presented to the president now we have had several names being put forth over the past 2 weeks but this was the 1st time that representatives of that been our coalition which is the largest bloc in parliament have actually met with the president to submit the choice now much of

the delay that we have seen has actually been because it has not been very clear on who exactly is the largest bloc of this is why the president has put off this decision for so long now the speaker of the parliament has indeed confirmed that it is the been our coalition so the question now is what can the president do he cannot really challenge the decision that this is the largest bloc who should be putting forth a nominee but where you what he can do is actually reject the nominee because he does not have the support from the streets or because he does not have to support from the other political parties and as of right now we're waiting to hear from those other parties especially on which is the party of. the biggest rival to the big not correlation on their reaction towards assad to lay down and whether they will accept him as a nominee. so to thank you for that will here as money is an iraqi kurdish journalist and commentator and was the media adviser to former iraqi president

jalal talabani he joins us now on skype from erbil how do you see this playing out given that the protesters clearly are not going to accept this nomination. well i think the that look will continue the protesters will not accept certainly danny. they all remember last year's protests. happened when he was the. the governor of that city they they all remember that the way that the brutal way that they crossed the protest last year he is very close as they say to the general to the commander who's in the sound again who was crushing the protests he is yet another candidate of the of the blocks that the protests are primarily gives their gains so. he's seen as somebody who's close to iran and the

protests essentially are against. the iranian influence so i suspect that we will see more and more protests more and more. but more rejection of his candidacy now the opposition from the protestors notwithstanding it places the president in a very difficult position and given that he's being supported by the iran bloc does this mean that danny will indeed become the prime minister in fact it's a done deal can you can you go that far. i am not sure to be honest because the previous candidate will say so here it was also the candidate of the of all these of the bloc that is supported by iran. there has to be a switch off sides by one of the blocks from the n.t. . the n.t.

it rainy and camp into the to the other side we don't know if a deal was struck with one of the opposition groups to. to the candidacy they'd be it's a rule or a. or hide them about these and not sort of block but otherwise i think so far as things stand he will not be more accepted than the other the other candidate the previous candidate who who submitted who rejected is candidacy or he will apologize for tea and not being part of the of the process he what what your outlined there it goes directly to a fundamental problem in iraq a constitutional problem a problem that is deeply rooted in the political system there and that is that the protesters the younger generation looking for a nonsectarian future any rock for all the rockies for politicians are accountable

broadly to the entire population but you are still dealing with a very sick tyrian divided political process. absolutely i don't think it's the issue of the constitution as much as it's the issue of the ruling political class and there are they all though they have they've taken part in the writing the constitution but the way they have conducted their politics over the past 16 years their way they opted for the ethno sectarian quartet in running the affairs of iraq war led to they hired to a highly secured in a political process and as a result extreme levels of corruption of poverty or lack of services these are all the issues and virtually. in an existence of good governance in iraq these are all issues that led the protesters to take to the streets and to bring

somebody from this same political class that has been the ruling and over the past 16 years will only mean continuation of the protests who are good if you join us thank you so much who're. thousands of people in the philippines a stranded during the christmas holiday off to typhoon phone but had landfall many in the predominantly catholic nation was struck the airports and bus terminals both already have back he waited coastal areas fearing floods and landslides the typhoon is expected to move across central philippines and into the south china sea by thursday to be lower as in manila and says travel is a likely to remain stranded for several days we are outside the main port the off manila where traditionally over the holiday season thousands of passengers wait to board their respective passenger ferries going back to their provinces in different islands in the philippines now christmas is

a very important occasion for this predominantly catholic country and as you can see families are waiting here they've got their packages here but they've had to spend their christmas eve here because this is here this type of point or locally known as a personal or made landfall in the central region of the philippines christmas eve and that has grounded all pipes of travel in the country and so here they are this is where they spent their christmas eve they've only had food that's been given to them by the philippine coast guard and you have children here who have basically nowhere to sleep and they have nowhere to bathe and they're saying this is has been a very difficult christmas for them i know that me at night i'm very sad and i've been crying for days i told my child that i can't do anything they did not let us

board the ferry because there's a typhoon and we understand that. my wife wants us to be together but to be here and there's nothing that we can do now the situation here. isn't unique across the country in different ports thousands more are stranded and it is likely that they will remain stranded until the typhoon leaves the philippines passengers here tell us that they have not been assured that they can leave immediately as soon as the typhoon leaves the philippines they've also been told that it is likely that it will be one more week before they can actually get on their fareast go back to their provinces so it is likely that they will be spending new year's here as well. still ahead of al jazeera we should not expect that this person is on the scale just because they can from a background sky's the limit we hear from a syrian refugee who tells us about

a drink after fleeing. i was on a big job in kazakhstan and i'll tell you how the country is trying to move away from the hydrocarbon based economy and finding investment in renewable sources. and there's a tool or there for the n.b.a.'s record breaking stuff. that. hello there some very unpleasant rain through the east and all of the mediterranean a vis system will actually work its way east was through much of northern sections of the middle east now the rain has been particularly heavy already across much of turkey and look at this these the waves to the north of beirut in lebanon some ridge the high seas the winds actually around this particular region probably at

about 75 kilometers an hour all the way through northern coast of egypt and on as a say through lebanon up towards turkey as well but look at this a very unpleasant picture of the snow as well through turkey through this high elevations and the whole system gradually working its way eastwards plenty of snow through the plenty of rain as well and this whole system worked its way across into northern sections of iraq so cool as well in beirut by friday 15 degrees and it will stay. further to the south across here even peninsula we've got most of the conditions the winds have been a little bit cool but fairly light 24 in doha on thursday and we have got this is to my head just sitting way to the coast of oman it does get little bit closer by the time we head into friday it could just bring a coastal shabbat where the bulk of the rain will certainly stay offshore where we have some showers and thunderstorms that will continue into madagascar and also pushing across into devon and johannesburg.

. you're watching al-jazeera here's a reminder of our top stories this hour. thousands of people are fleeing syria's last rebel stronghold of italy province government forces and their russian allies are closing in on the city of newman other parts of it may have been under attack for weeks. turkey's president is urging action to end the fighting in libya. met with these tunisian. and says he believes can promote stability in neighboring libya. but in a faso has to quit 2 days of national mourning after an attack that killed at least

$35.00 people it happened in the northern region of the military says it's killed of the attack. a state funeral has been held for algeria's military chief who played a key role in ousting president but a flicker lieutenant general. died on monday after suffering a heart attack laura burden man the takes a look back at his life. for years he was the chief of staff of the algerian national army. but i heard good solid who mostly be remembered for being behind the resignation of president put a flicka after 2 decades in office. on march 26th the cea not long after hundreds of thousands of algerians march in the streets demanding the president's debt down it was getting speech urging but if we could to quit that made that

a reality the army backed the arrests of many of beautifully his allies a month later supported the newly appointed interim leader. i would. i would like to confirm in truth that the transitional period to prepare for the presidential elections take place with the oversight of the national people's army which will keep watch over the course of this transition in lot of the mutual trust between the people and their army. just last week gets attended the inauguration of the new president to measure. but many protests is a boycotted the election that brought him to power saying there is little choice of candidates beyond the established elite get sas spend his entire adult life in the armed forces a former officer in the national abberation army he spent years working his way to the top of the army. he 4th year is war of independence against the french

and was considered a hero in his country. as a close ally to them president beautifully in 2004 he became chief of staff of the army and 2013 vice minister of defense i was in february this year and the sudden wave of protests algerians demanded the entire government step down. his loyalty to boot had come to an end and he joined the calls from protesters for the president to resign but many ontarians turned their anger on to get. obviously is part of the establishment because of different positions he had in the military it's only recently that some of the protestors well calling for him to go because they were concerned he did them all the. luck did not live up to expectations they expected all they want to

a more open democratic. some protesters are rejecting a 3 day mourning and according to realty and then to the military state. india's government has announced new guidelines approved funds for an updated national population register but critics fear it could be used to further discriminate against muslims the survey was introduced in 2010 but for the 1st time people will be asked to share information about where and when their parents were born they will also be required to give details of identity documents like voter cards driving licenses and passports the government has approved more than 5 $100000000.00 in funding for the exercise prime minister narendra modi is pushing ahead with that despite facing backlash over

a new citizenship law that's also being viewed as anti muslim in new delhi there are more protests against the law $25.00 people have died in the violence since the legislation was passed earlier elizabeth per annum spoke with indian author and r.t. roy in new delhi she was asked why she's hopeful about the protest movement. this movement intellectually understands and emotionally and passionately understands the horror of this program that the more the b.g.p. r.s.s. has been selling for the last so many years and of course in power since 2014 so they only have this as the one answer to every problem economic social education whatever it is the idea is to write their ideas to ratchet up the hatred you know and suddenly young people are just saying sorry but we're not buying this you know and that's why i'm hopeful and do you think that the protests that we're seeing by

young people by many many people across the country will make a difference because even as those protests happened the government passed funding for this national population register which many people see as a precursor to the national register of citizens you know it's it is a precursor it's the database you know so. they're going to go through with whatever they can go through with you know they're going to go through with every bit of their agenda and they're going to shed blood i mean they've already killing people all over the state of their positions that is where they have the most vicious chief minister acting in tandem with the central government but they're losing power in all the other states so just a few years ago they were in power in so many states separate states you know in india now they just hold power and i think 3 or 4 and 10 chief ministers have already said that they will not allow the national register citizenship they have

not said that they will not allow the n.p.r. which is this soft entry to this i think people still have to understand that that's a very dangerous thing but i do think that there's a chance if there was a chance here is the chance to stop them. in afghanistan 27 peace activists have been abducted while on a much the leader of the people's peace movement says the group was taken by the taliban in the west and bala bullock district the taliban has not responded to requests for comment. karzai is a spokesman for peace movement afghanistan he says some of his colleagues have been captured by the taliban before. this is not 1st time that will be faced with such incidents and this is full time the taliban their culture our members and they're asking certain questions that. who are you and how you started them this is this

gathering this movement but the main issue is that this moment is looking more and started by local people and this is. effectiveness in the princes in the districts and among the people on the communities it's very efficient under people like us because they want peace and they want to make good life for themselves and it's a. good life for every afghan and if. his style of going to me to interfere but you want to make good life for them the only incident that to this simply happened in. district actually we had planned to conduct a gathering much and. and but this is but to be on our people do a common. sense and they wanted to conduct the covering a much in purpose this incident to happen we hope and i reassure the taliban

that i will do it safely and they will be there to get you home from the from the taliban and the i did you to provide. proof and evidence that i look at a movement and it's not a letter to anybody and we want just good life and everyone. the leaders of eritrea and ethiopia a meeting to revive stored peace to go there try and president work arrived in the ethiopian capital addis ababa where he was met by prime minister ahmed of the 2 countries signed a historic peace agreement last year ending a 2 decade military standoff but uncertainty remains around economic cooperation and border crossings and ugandan official says 7 eritrean football players have disappeared at the end of a regional tournament the players are the latest to defect from eritrea which is being described by human rights groups as one of the most tightly controlled regimes in the world that this isn't the 1st time ever dr players have done this in

201510 players refused to return home after a tournament to qualify for the world cup in botswana and last october 5 players disappeared in uganda in the middle of a regional maze now a trade is the government is forcing footballers to pay a bond and surrender their property ownership documents before leaving the country but it's not just footballers every year tens of thousands of eritreans fully mainly to escape in forced military service and rights abuses a wall is a literal killer university in england he explains why this keeps happening and what the prospects are of real change. i think maybe because that is one of the most oppressive concepts in the world where there are you know why it's cool as well. force military conscription that is in my nature and

economy that is not going for society that is crazy creative and industrious by nature and people. in the country to avoid the harsh reality. of the provisions. i think people who have been observing the country hoping a peace deal between. who. opened the bridge from spain. and. trance to have an active say the politics of the country. economy but fortunately. even after a peace deal has been reached it's often made. with neighboring ethiopia with. interest is continuing its practices. indefinite has remained in place where there is just. very difficult to see any hope

where the. place for egypt moves forward. the end of the year for many people is a time to reflect on what's happened in the past but also look forward to some who fled war and conflict settling in a new country can be tough and being away from loved ones even harder let's see the story of one syrian refugee who arrived in britain 4 years ago and believes nothing is out of reach. my there was bike is out i'm 20 years old and i'm from damascus syria i'm really hoping to become a commercial pilot one day and you know perhaps be the 1st ever female syrian refugee parla i was 11 when the war started and it just moved closer and closer until it happened the mosques were always prepared that we're going to do something at some point because that's what war does that's what everyone's face and experience during the war is losing something whether like a relative

a loved one their house their businesses and different stuff so it was always tough when i were like like my parents would leave the house they would they would say good bye as if we might never see them again so we're alive but we were not living . my mom my 2 younger brothers and i got from damascus to live on top of the air for on them from the airport we went to turkey and then from turkey to america i always believed that if you cation is what's going to define my future and education is how i can represent myself my country my family where i'm from. i knew the kind of stereotypes that people have about refugees of being on a hated unskilled i just feel like when people look at me i don't want them to define me with these kind of stereotypes the labels you should not expect that those persons on those you keep it on school just because they came from

a refugee background you don't expect them to be broken and sour them like you know the past like they can be do you offer your best support and like try to be the kindest you can but also expect that you're treating just a normal human being with normal additions and hopes and dreams. it's a basic and tradition painting the story of what someone believes was a divine intervention for hundreds of years artists have captured the moment they felt their prayers were answered al jazeera as alan fischer reports from mexico city. they are from the devote the pious and the grateful a thank you mark in recovery good fortune or success in mexico they are called exotic paintings delivered to the church a devotion or gift after prayers were answered. with those who wanted their story to be known ordered these little paintings they were
