have faced the most attacks earlier this month 71 soldiers were killed on a military base in the jazz west and in mali at least $53.00 soldiers were killed at a military post in november it happened just weeks after 2 other raids on military bases which also left dozens of soldiers dead also that month at least $37.00 people were killed and back in a faster when gunmen ambushed a military convoy transporting linus to walk. now hundreds of people have rallied in the iranian capital chanting anti-government slogans and demanding that supremely is a. come in a step down this follows the government's admission that the military accidentally shot down a ukrainian passenger jet killing all of those on board the u.k. ambassador who attended a protest was briefly arrested reports from tehran. the final terrifying moments for 176 passengers and crew onboard

a ukrainian airlines boeing 737. for days iranian officials denied it had been shot down by one of their missiles but on saturday iran's revolutionary guard delivered this dramatic u. turn. it is us who are to blame the plane was on its way it did not have any error or mistake everyone worked very well efficiently it was us who made a mistake and we are responsible we should accept responsibility and accountability . the belated admission has sparked protests in teheran they chant death to liars and shameless as they demand those responsible for the missile strike to be brought to justice they're angry about the downing of the plane and they want accountability from the authorities less than 24 hours before saturday's admission the head of iran's civil aviation organization spoke to al-jazeera. it

was a us it is very obvious that it was not hit by a missile if a missile hit it it should have crashed in its original direction. and this is what's causing more anger among iranians the fact that it took officials more than 48 hours after repeated denials to reveal what really happened. there was also criticism when to preform the wreckage was moved from the crash site possibly tainting evidence. the announcement comes a day after iran gave a ukrainian team access to the plane's black boxes. evidence that could be crucial for putting together a timeline a group of international aviation experts is now part of the reigning investigation but this case could complicate further a region that's already in crisis the head of or also to sherry has asked for all the evidence to be handed over to be investigated and the man in charge of iran's revolutionary guard will be briefing m.p.'s in a closed door session in parliament but what is not clear is how this will impact

iran's military and its government in the future dorsett a bari al jazeera tower on now taiwan's pro independence president is celebrating a landslide election victory after voters handed her a 2nd sighing when 157 percent of the voters and she says her reelection is a sign that taiwan won't bow to intimidation from china how correspondent scott hi there is live for us in the capital scott what's the feeling in taipei today also some to record voters. yes there's very jubilant feeling here for obviously for those that the majority of the people of this island nation who supported signing when and this effort to really kind of send the message of for independence for this country it's quite interesting when you look at her history just her recent history just 15 months ago she was on the political ropes she was being asked considered to not run for reelection this time around obviously those situations changed because of what was happening in hong kong and

how beijing was cracking down on not really kind of came the main election issue going into this and this is how election day unfolded. in a major political comeback after being nearly sidelined a year ago taiwan's incumbent president signed wed was handed a historic victory winning the most votes of any president in the island's election history. the comeback in victory are likely a result of the increasing tensions with china and how beijing has crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in hong kong. i saw in her pro independence democratic progressive party led the charge against chinese pledges of reunification iran or egypt or whatever the taiwanese people reject the one country 2 systems model we respect democracy and our sovereign rights as the president of taiwan i must deal with the cross trade relations according to the will of the

people. size main competition on quo you called and congratulated her a few hours after the polls closed he and his party strategy with china was engagement it's a big victory for the side when and the d.p.p. yes because it means another 4 years in the president's office but it also sends a strong message across the straits of taiwan the majority of the people here want this island to remain independent from china and they think she's the president to do it with the added importance of this election nearly 75 percent of eligible voters turned out more than the last 2 presidential elections you know where you are going to people of my age the threat from china could not have been more real just time. where there was pressure from china there was resistance and the need for us to speak out against it was you will find that it is almost like previous elections we had more young people are speaking up this year their voice is louder

and hurt during this election. so how do things move forward some think there will be major changes in the way beijing's communist party or p.r.c. has been managing potential. i don't think the p.r.c. is going to suddenly decide that you know well i guess we have to work with her because she's been reelected. but i also don't anticipate that they will view this as an immediate provocation that they have to deal with. once the victory has been savored one of the major task for president's 2nd term will be getting beijing to respond to her promise of their willingness to start a positive dialogue cause it seems that sighing when has been bang to thank essentially for had come back and thumping victory these record numbers likely to change beijing's behavior atoll well that's any indication just a few hours after she claimed victory on election day beijing sent out

a statement and it is as if nothing happened that there wasn't this vote in beijing's rhetoric there was absolutely no change they said they absolutely oppose and the independence movement or any actors who are pushing for independence here in taiwan they said they're still there one china policy and that includes they think beijing taiwan's territory and also they said they're going to stick to the one china to 2 systems policy that's something that in her acceptance speech simon said that she exactly refutes that that that should not be in place here in in taiwan that's obviously something that we've seen come to a violent end in hong kong what's been going over there the last several months so obviously this is something that was a very big issue for sign when and where we go from here that's the big question we heard some some response there in the story there but what moves forward and we've been speaking to some people today and the way they view it is right now yes she has been given the task to carry this torch forward for independence here but they

are going to have to start to see they the people of taiwan those people who voted for her they're going to have to start to see some results of movement on this and that's a very tall order when we see beijing reacting the way they did and something we'll continue to watch for. in taipei for us thank you scott. still ahead on al-jazeera malta has a new after mass protests over an investigative journalists met at the prime minister. plus 100 years after the ill fated league of nations began its work and is history we're using for its success at the u.n. war. heller rain is leaving the arabian peninsula having given away couple of days if this thing here still bring its rain through iran to pakistan and following the

hello again i'm in stasis and a reminder of our top stories this hour in breaking news from a government source has told al jazeera that the death toll from thursday's attack on an army base has risen to at least 89 that happened in chino godhra and west of me no one has claimed responsibility for this latest attack in the south reaching. libyan warlord who leave the house to has agreed to a cease fire that's taken effect in libya that's despite previously refusing to have forces loyal to him put down arms in april after us forces launched an offensive on the capital the seeds of the un backed government. and the u.k. is the boss of the to iran has been arrested and then released after attending protests in tehran against the government's handling of the shooting down of the ukrainian passenger jet the leaders of canada and ukraine are demanding

a run takes full responsibility for the disaster. now when the league of nations formed from the ashes of the fast wild war it was tasked with preventing another global conflict that was 100 years ago and as history tells us it failed miserably diplomatic editor james bays reports from geneva now and the league successor and what the u.n. can still learn from its demise. unlocking the secrets of the last century. in this vos the vaults in the un 0 p. and headquarters in geneva the archives of the united nations and of the organization that preceded it the league of nations here the files letters minutes and confidential memos from an era where everything was recorded on paper. the archives of the league which started work in january 9 2100 years ago a currently being digitized some of these boxes have been opened since they were

1st sealed many decades ago. at the end of what was then known as the great war the league was supposed to bring new hope to the world it was the idea of u.s. president woodrow wilson but he couldn't persuade congress that the u.s. should join the league it's a tough counterfactual to say when things have been better if the us had been only if the us could have been a reliable partner and i think the. jury's out on whether the us could be a reliable partner at a long way away and didn't want to engage on a lot of things had a population that was sick of involvement in foreign wars. in v's holes league diplomats worked as the 1930 s. brought recession the great depression and then the rise of nazi germany its permanent headquarters the paladin national now the un's base in europe was only

completed in 19863 years later the league failed in its main task keeping the peace as a 2nd world war broke out. so what led to the league's demoralise it was a time of rising nationalism around the world with the u.s. congress pursuing an america 1st policy reluctant to get involved in international affairs and with the drums of war getting louder the league was impotent and then became irrelevant any of that sound familiar 100 years on there are still lessons for the united nations of today james 0 the former league of nations now united nations in geneva now more than a 1000000 and a half people were made homeless an earthquake hit haiti 10 years ago are horrified routes and huge amounts of aid but many survivors never received it president general moyes who came into power in 2016 says the way the money was managed was

a disaster he spoke to al jazeera stories about in the capital port au prince. my 1st question is it's been 10 years since the horrific earthquake devastated this country. billions of dollars were pledged to help haiti. what has been achieved in all this years is true president of the i am the president of the country i can tell you where in the country or in the surrounding of the capital city any village built with the aid money from the earthquake that can fit a 1000 families in terms of results there has not been any reconstruction process for the country i am someone who believes in the structural the long lasting the sustainable there has been many small achievements but small achievements are made with little amount of money but when you want to talk about major achievements you have to have access to large amounts of money he to spend billions to do a lot of people are still in temporary settlements leaving him intense some of them there's a health care crisis food insecurity is on the rise tense here later i mean whose

fault is it is it the international community is it the haitian government who's to blame. both both of them for me to has been the disaster the way the aid money has been managed after the earthquake and that is what we're paying for 10 years later i'm not saying this to blame anyone but i'm here to say the truth and only the truth the results are visible a lot of money a lot of money has been spent but the results have been minimal would you one of the issues that has come up is that in many cases the international community completely bypassed the haitian government haitian civil society and they wanted to spend the money themselves do you agree with this message that you know reality has been the reality in 2010 let's be clear that we're talking about 2010 now not about the actual period we're talking about the time of 20 it was clear it was the reality they stopped to structure to spend money and now with inherited that

everyone must be able to understand that there has been mistakes. get there we need to correct these mistakes. at least 30 soldiers have been killed in the democratic republic of congo during fighting with rebel forces it happened in the province of north kivu during an operation to retake an area currently under the control of the allied democratic forces hundreds have been killed in fighting there since october when the military launched a campaign to root out the rebel fighters from the country's troubled east. thailand has seen its biggest political protest in year is in the form of what activists are calling a run against dictatorship thousands of anti-government protestors jogs through bangkok presenting the event as a fun run in a bid to get around restrictions on public demonstrations many are calling for a general prayuth to step down as leader 5 years after he took over in the military who held on to power after elections last year with support from an appointed

senate and opposition party that emerged as a big challenge is now facing the threat of disillusion its leader was present at those protests. awareness of the current political situation no the turnout has been amazing is crowded all the players. believe. in order. to. be able to be a democratic country again the 1st the general us has to get out. the people here do the thing we feeling. the most of the anger of the people oh a smaller rival rally in support of the government to place in another park some 14 kilometers away supporters of general pryor took part in the walk to cheer and call a reference to the leader's nickname used by his supporters they say his leadership has brought stability and security. while venezuela's opposition leader one

is trying to reignite his campaign to remove president nicolas maduro a year after he was declared by some countries as venezuela's interim president he's lost momentum from caracas our latin america and ascendancy in human examines why. a middle class caracas neighborhood was the scene of opposition leader one why does 1st rally this year. i guess if there are great chances or wall to jump we will jump them and if we cannot jump over them we will knock them down. on tuesday the majority opposition faction that he leads forced to sway into parliament just days after why they always prevented by soldiers from entering the legislature the government is now recognizing another deputy speaker of the house. why though says he want to meet with the norwegian delegation that supported lee in caracas to attempt to restart negotiations it broke down last year between the government and

opponents says there are no conditions for dialogue but while than israel is political and economic crisis worsens it's clear. that the opposition has lost momentum in january of last year tens of thousands of people mobilized and some part of why go 12 months later either out of fear frustration or the belief that the opposition simply doesn't have what it takes to unseat the military backed government like gore has only been able to bring out a few 100 people here. nevertheless he pleaded for the news wayland's not to abandon him. today more than ever we need to all fight together to open the door to freedom because i confess to you we cannot do it alone. whether venezuelans will heed his call and accompany him next week in a new attempt to enter parliament remains to be seen to see in human gut acts. roberts abella will be multi next prime minister after being elected as the new
