you know all these distinct rewind continues with the return of the lizard king the steep shall be $11.00 east africa shoot 100 species are going extinct every 24 hours and a lot of that is attributed to wildlife trafficking rewind on al-jazeera. iraqi forces raid the headquarters of an iran backed armed group accused of attacking u.s. military facilities. i'm sam is a than this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up a new wrinkle refugee crisis off the coast of indonesia brings pressure on east asian leaders to act as they meet for their annual summit u.s.

officials estimate 20000000 americans have been infected with corona virus 10 times higher than the confirmed cases in. this field here is the cry of those who have never been. trying to reform the police after protests against racism the bill is passed in the u.s. house of representatives but is unlikely to become more. iraqi security forces have raided a base for longing to an iran backed militia group 10 rockets were seized and at least 13 members of hezbollah were detained including commanders armed members of the group are demanding their release some out of alton has more from bank that. the read on the tide has been the base in

a southern neighborhood of baghdad was carried out on thursday night by the iraqi counterterrorism service in an effort to create and impending rocket attack on the green zone and baghdad international airport both of which houses the u.s. troops now discounts in the wake of several such attacks 6 to be precise which have occurred throughout the month subsequently dozens of arms could have his bonafide risk arrived in the green green zone and the lead siege to one of the buildings belonging to the counterterrorism service demanding the release of the detainees claim that they were arrested illegally without an arrest warrant and that this base is in fact an official base belonging to the iraqi security forces because of course at least on paper the tide has gone that is part of the iraqi security apparatus now negotiations are ongoing at the moment between the leadership of the popular mobilization forces which includes the tiredness below and the prime

minister's office and the iraqi security forces and whether or not these detainees will be released now of course if they are released this would be rather embarrassing to the new government because the raid was carried out at the prime minister's orders the prime minister who was only just appointed last month has made it one of his priorities to to constrain the weapons in the hands of the state and to rein in groups such as the tide hispaniola and of course he has also come under pressure by the united states in the wake of the latest rocket attacks to protect u.s. forces that are based here in the country the rocky government has been promising to crackdown on hezbollah and other militias since july last year the share armed group was formed the before the invasion of iraq on anti west and probably raimi and ideals during the war it became known for deadly attacks against american

coalition forces. the group has longstanding ties with tehran it's often considered to be an extension of the iranian revolutionary guard their former leader. and this was assassinated in the same drone strike which killed iranian general qassam so manny last year the government offered an ultimatum integrate with the armed forces or disband they refused to integrate despite that they've continued to carry out attacks on coalition forces been blamed for a siege on camp taji in march 1 british and 2 american soldiers were killed in that attack let's bring in renard month saw in london he's the director of the iraq initiative at chatham house good to have you with us so why are we seeing the iraqi authorities make this move now. well you have a new prime minister who's taking up office less than 100 days of his premiership

and he's a prime minister is trying to put action to worse and that extent you know you had previous prime ministers who talked about integration and who have talked about going after many of these militias including the terror hezbollah one of the strongest ones that rose up in the fight against isis but i've always been a thorn in the kind of the back of many of those who want a stronger state and so this prime minister is is trying to show that he is a bit more serious addressing hezbollah or any other groups that may have one foot in the state but certainly have you know several feet let's say out of the state well that's was actually segues into my next question can iraqi authorities take on militias which do have as you put it a foot in the state some would say they've infiltrated many aspects of the state. yeah and this is a more general issue in iraq. you know that hezbollah is not unique in that sense

of its ability to maneuver in and outside of a state and so it's a hard question and i think it would be very difficult for the prime minister to just single out one group or go off to a group and what you're already seeing i seem on to mention them but are in negotiations now what to do can the prime minister actually put these you know these members in jail for what it's not the issue isn't on one single act or one organization is a massive security sector problem that you have in iraq after isis but since 2003 really so can the prime minister use some of those smaller forces that are loyal to the state the terrorist kind of terrorism service and others to really go against some of these very powerful and when i say powerful i don't just mean in terms of armed men but economic powerhouses political power houses they have strong relations to parliamentarians they have strong relations in the civil service

across the iraqis so i think you know to answer your question it would be difficult to go after this group and in that way they also have powerful back because outside of iraq's borders where does this leave relations with iran. well i mean the relationship with iran has been kind of let's say in an in a new phase we can call it a post doesn't say money for the successor of slam i mean me has been trying to do things perhaps a bit differently engaging more with the prime minister and a different tone and this is an ongoing relationship keep in mind the prime minister has announced that he will be going to iran and also to washington. i think it was yesterday announced it's right before this writ so iran has many of these groups many of these you know they call them the resistance groups. these groups are meant to kind of pressure on the prime minister on the iraqi government if it goes in a direction that iran doesn't want it to go to war so you're and will continue to

use these groups as leverage but also here on needs iraq to be as an economic partner but also as a lifeline to too many countries given the sanctions that iran faces so we'll have to see but there's sure that there are negotiations now between those other groups that are close to iran to kind of settle this issue all right thanks so much for your analysis on that run on months for france germany and italy calling for an end to the fighting in libya they want outside powers to end their involvement in the conflict and resume talks they've issued a joint statement saying in light of the growing risks of deterioration in libya and regional escalation we called on all libyan parties to immediately seize fighting and suspend the ongoing military buildup throughout the country they're also urging foreign actors to end all interference and fully respect the arms

embargo established by the un security council. earlier turkey said any cease fire would depend on will tell if i have to us forces withdrawing from 2 key regions south and the draw for our interests to support supports rather the un backed government of national accord so also condemned russia for fueling instability by supporting huffed up the jna recently pushed back off those forces from the capital on wednesday arab leaders called for a truce and peace talks between the warring sides are some real ramadi is a middle east analyst he says the statement by european nations is not sincere as they bank opposing factions in libya i think we should be teaching these emerging littering it's not against france germany and italy and the different perspectives and living france supports have our italy as a supporter of the g.n. and to lesser degree turkish military intervention where germany is the not our that's our country in that year and i think that is more of an issue that the side

actually got together the french and italians are actually able to discuss this and there is currently as you mention any simpler than that i wasn't point but the actual is the man she'd be now skepticism greatly because the current recession which calls for these larger drug forces contradicts the brillant process with your partner at the present is that right is. better at converting actual action because egypt is not militarily intervene in the center way in libya and yes its rights and what if it were that matter in any regional leaders and things as you know and 27 leaders the history it can't now and i actually leverage if you don't best may actually carry has unlimited logistical or a trade mission with the added security or influence there will be an expanse of military intervention against turkey rather than the other hand is a bit more well an important player is losing confidence not that so my pivot towards one of the allies that we lose our ally or balance that b.m. sees on both actor and yaps if you're looking at a multifaceted multipart russian intervention in libya. 5 civilians have been

killed in an attack in central yemen according to the media the saudi led coalition launched several air strikes targeting vehicles transporting gasoline happened just north of the governor it least 5 other people were injured in the raids now the association of southeast asian nations summit is underway with leaders meeting remotely due to the pandemic plight of the rangar is expected to be discussed other topics likely to dominate discussions include the reopening of orders after a lockdown and the territorial dispute in the south china sea. scott hyla joins us from bangkok so on how things coming together visibly that dispute in the south china sea and of course the idea of a covert fund. well some of the covert fun is something that they've

been discussing the 10 members of the on this block of nations for the last several weeks it's something that is moving ahead one thing that's interesting about that sami is that they're also. contributors from outside the region here china and japan have contributed to this fund as well that's because they have business and economic interests here in southeast asia they want to see southeast asia get back to business because there's a pipeline of materials and products that go from here up to those 2 large economies but what also is being looked at with this fund for the region that is i mean you've got 10 different nations 10 different economies 10 different degrees of development so this is also supposed to help them coordinate better in dealing with the post coded era as well as dealing with infrastructure that maybe the those nations who aren't as developed get up to speed when it comes to nations like thailand has a very good health care system and they handle because of it 1000 situation well so that is part of what this fund is supposed to do now when you look at the south

china sea and china this is something that they've been working on with china over this territory dispute with the ask because several of the neighbors have issues with what china has done with their 9 dash line but what's interesting about that is they've been negotiating a code of conduct with china that has been put on hold because a coat coded 19 it was supposed to be completed in about the next 6 months it looks like that's not going to happen but again those are ongoing discussions with those territory disputes. criticism building as well scott that perhaps a.z.n. is missing an opportunity to tackling the crisis which has been in the headlines lately is anything coming together on that front. yeah i've covered a lot of these r.c. and summits and you know obviously over the last 3 years particularly over the last 3 years we're going to are brought up and the plight of the rich and the refugees who flee to other nations within our city on for safety and well that's what we're

seeing again now sami over the last couple of days now it's very a very particular way that deals with issues like this because it's a block of 10 nations normally they are they standoff when it comes to something that can be described as an internal matter as a domestic issue and that is what the rethink has been traditionally described as a domestic issue for the government of myanmar but obviously when what's been happening over the last 3 years the attention the gravity of what has happened with these hundreds of thousands or who have fled me and mar it's getting more regional attention and international attention so it's brought up a lot of times at the summits at the sub sub meetings at summits but there's really not much that has been as a follow up and that's getting some criticism from the malaysian leadership as well as the indonesian leadership coming out during the summit today now what's interesting though is you know a lot of times when we'll see progress on the issue is when you have these sideline discussions backroom discussions at these summits clearly that's not the case now

because this is being done virtually so be interesting to see if they come out with some kind of statement about the situation with the ripping up but it has to be said they've come out with pretty strongly worded comments in the past but then it really kind of fell short of any kind of action after it sammy all right scott live from bangkok after weeks at sea least 90 rocking the refugees have been rescued off the coast of chain indonesia the boat was towed to shore by locals after authorities refused to let them land coronavirus fears they've since been put up in private housing and given medical checks jessica washington has more from jakarta. this is very much a developing situation now because of local community intervention because locals did in fact carry them off that vessel that did sort of force the hand of local authorities and now the process is under way there for cation identifying these

refugees it's only then that will able to say with certainty what will happen to them at this stage it does seem likely that they will be permitted to say but local authorities have not indicated any sort of decisiveness in terms of that coming to that sort of decision as yet so we will have to wait and see we have heard briefly from the central government not specifically with regards to this case but saying that more needs to be done by by countries in the region to make sure that people don't undertake these perilous journeys at sea human rights organizations have applauded the local community for intervening for coming in to save these refugees from indonesian waters but they say now it's time for the government and for local authorities to clarify what happens next. at least on 107 people have been killed in northern india in the series of lightning strikes on for. dozens were also injured during the strikes and the hollow states and uttar pradesh lightning is
