[000:00:00;00] ah, is who's ah, this is al jazeera. ah, it is $1500.00, gmc hello, i'm come all santa maria. welcome to the news from l. just the right people already falls from their homes in democratic republic of congo. being attacked in the

united nations as calling daily massacres. also in the news, iran's presidential hopefuls hold their 1st televised debate. the troubled economy is in focus. a ban on twitter in nigeria comes into effect today. also the government orders it indefinite suspension and some college faith, not going marine problem threatening turkey's fishing industry. and he said to the sport, a couple america looks in trouble again. brazil's players are reportedly planning to boycott the tournament being held in the country while the government and organizing is going ahead. ah all of that needs to come, but we'll start the hour with breaking news out of the keenest also where one of the worst mass because in years has been committed. the government has said, armed men killed at least

a 100 civilians in the northern part of the country. it happened in the village of sole hon. close to nisha, the governments, his homes and a market were burned to the ground. the 1st such attack on this scale since 2015 nicholas hark is with us now reporting from bama co in neighboring molly. i mean this is not a massacre that we have seen yet, unfortunately, makers, but the government is actually coming out with all this information. tell us more. that's right, i mean, what we know is that in the early hours of this morning, regular police spiritual that we're around the east of picking up. i say next to the town to so hum came across a market like the one that you see right behind me. but instead of seeing people going about their business animals, they saw the market completely burned to the ground. the animals all die killed. hundreds of bodies lying in what the government describes as amounts were men and

women and children. you know though no one has claimed responsibility for this. it's not get has the hallmark of the stomach state and the greater so hard because come on that group has launch several attacks in that same area in the last few months in february and then in may and, and in the run up to this attack we saw several teenagers that have their arms amputated because they were accused of that effect. and this attack just comes week after the minister of defense of burkina. faso went on the site and told the population, you are now safe, we will guarantee your security and there was come all a military barracks not far away from where the attack took place. they didn't react, they never arrived on the scene, and it's a feeling that people now across that hell feel which is that they cannot rely on their own security forces to protect them. and as a result, in the last year come all a 1000000 people have been displaced in the fall,

so alone come up, come on. okay, thanks for that. update nicholas to know of a seal. you're not there, but learning whatever information you can and we thank you for that. we'll talk again later. we can look, however, at democratic republic of congo where people already force from their homes are being attacked in what the you and is calling daily massacre. thousands of fleeting displacement camps and villages in the east. in simultaneous raids on monday night, at least $57.00 people were killed, including 7 children, nothings under bias has this update. the military has ruled its re problems for a month. but for weeks, under an unprecedented state of siege wasn't enough to prevent this. one of the deadliest attacks to hit the region and at least 4 years. the government and the un blame fighters from the allied democratic forces for unleashing a night of violence in displacement camps and villages near bogo and to jobby.

robber. nothing leah. we were attacked by the rebels during the night. they killed my neighbors and burned them in the house before even arriving in my area. i ran an escape, but they got here and they burned my children in my house, and i got a lot more. the rebels abducted at least $25.00 survivors, shelters, and stores were burned to the ground. now the area is marked with mass graves. already displaced. the un says the attacks have forced nearly 6000 people to flee again. many with nothing but the clothes they were wearing it calling for more security, saying there's an urgent need to protect civilians and the congo leave the army claims it can provide that with martial law extended until mid june. the military governor of a tories visit to the area with all strength and determination command doesn't. but

i'm the mom we got the president of the republic sent me with a clear message, which is to bring peace. by all means, i have a special message for all of you. please tell your brothers and sisters to come at peacefully from the bush. otherwise we will defeat them by force. but the scale of the task can't be underestimated. violence has played these eastern provinces for years, with more than 100 armed groups operating in the dense forests. attacks on civilians have surged in the last 2 years, killing thousands of congo leads, and displacing more than 5000000. the announcement of military rule, an attempt to stop that violence was met with skepticism. critics worried the military already accused of rights violations and corruption could exploit its new power. now for weeks in activists are dismayed that the near daily attacks have continued. they don't stop,

the military authorities are wasting time when they could be conducting the real operation against the rebels and tackling insecurity on the grounds. unfortunately, as the army is still in the office preparing their strategy every day on the ground, the enemy continues to massacre populations. ok, but the government says there's been some success. the armies taken control of new areas and numerous fighters have surrendered. parliament will reevaluate military rule once these 15 days are up. but for those streaming through these road fleeing more attacks, they say the only thing that saved them so far is a higher power. alexandra buyers, al dedira and see from diego, maria, who is the united nations deputy humanitarian coordinator in governor, says the string of attacks are gross violation of human rights. the people who fled

the volcano that won't go fed in places in areas that are relatively relatively under the control of the, of the government. but, but the longer the period of displacement is prolonged, the more tensions that there are with whole communities. and there are between them we have reported at least 40 cases of violence, $600.00 violence against women. about 1300 children were separated from their parents in this increase from the city of gamma. now the real, the other and big emergency emergency has proposed by conflict in the g r c, which unfortunately continues to be one of the world's biggest competitor in crisis, with populations that are left at the mercy of violent arms groups. these must grit . chevy and vulgar has been one of the worst on records. and there have absolutely no other means, but to flee the attackers when they, when they arrived. where absolutely appalled by this last attack, which is on which comes into

a string of attacks. and we are working hard with your authorities to try to bring measures, not only military, but to bring social cohesion to communities that are deeply divided. who are very concerned about the situation need to re i myself am going to be to re, just to give a sense to your viewers the trees, a province, which is larger than ireland in terms of mass. i mean, it's a very bigger, bigger big province. there is a lot of tensions and difficulties are groups and also tensions between communities . i'm going to monday i'd be meeting the governor and be meeting the authorities to try to see what can we do to actually bring protection to the civilians. also with mono scope, which is a peacekeeping force that the u. s. has protection to civilians and also to reestablish the bonds between communities that have lived together for 4 or 4 decades. and for centuries, in some cases when 9 minutes past the hour. here's what's coming up for you. a

burned out thinking ship. still posing a great trade off the coast of sri lanka, as crews base breaks for a potential oil spill. also g 7 nations agreed to overhaul the international rules to force level companies to pay more time. and brazil maintain a perfect record in a world cup, quantifies teeter is along with your sport a little later. ah . so the 7 men competing to become runs next presidential taking part in the 1st televised debate. these were candidates approved by the guardian council. the focus was the economy, which of course has been battered by us sanctions, will speak to a correspondent, acid begun to run in a moment. but 1st we'll just hear from one of the candidates. this is abdul enough that mattie the former governor of iran central bank. your me, you don't regret that. there aren't representatives of the people here. you want to show your anger, do it by voting. what we should form

a strong coalition for our republican. how come? right, sorry, i said back, let's find out more about this. and i believe this was like a 3 hour plus debates with these 7 men. what transpired while the debate is still going on and let me to sum it up for you, there's been a tax, a tax, and some more attacks against each other now. so target of those attacks have been who you've just heard from the not set him up the, the former governor of the central bank. now he's seen as the mattress, but he's also linked to the current ronnie administration. and since we are talking but the economy is debated about the economy, there's a lot of frustration and anger about the state of the economy. the inflation is high, the currency has lost value, unemployment is high. so the conservative candidates have tugs, it did a good not him at the know one of those that talk to talk to him was for my gc commando, mostly

a who's also stood for president numerous times and he made this threat to him. mr. hamis, he the fact that he doesn't know how wars are conducted is one issue. but the fact that you show sympathies to the enemy of the iranian nation is a big problem. you've always accompanied us sanctions on iran. as soon as i take over the government, people like him and others are going to be banned from leaving the country. and they should be brought to justice, prosecuted to see what kind of damage they've done to the nation. but now that's an astonishing threat for a more than resign, and not that him mati replied back by turning to the judiciary chief abraham. right . you see who also is the favorite and asking him if he would ensure that he wouldn't be prosecuted for what he is about to say. so there has been considerable tests and attacks. no one really has addressed the questions that they've been asked about the economy. they tend to move away from that they, they are some policies, but they don't say how they are going to achieve those policies. but if i was to

sum up this debate, it's how, what happened even before it started as the candidate gathered to see where they would fit of the not the him. it took issue with the state t, v presenter because he referred to brian or easy as the honorable, right. you see where he just refer to the other candidates as just said, right. you see, that's the level of what some of the pettiness that's taking place here. but this debate is still ongoing about the economy, but from what most people take will take away from this debate. all the attacks from the, from the conservatives against what is seen as to moderate candidate and vice versa . right? quite dramatic, then. thank you. begun to run. we're going to take a close look at all these candidates for you. just give you a bit more background sessing with abraham. i see the incumbent judiciary chief, widely seen as the front runner with support from hotline. as most of the candidates are servitors. we have side jelly was iran's national security council

secretary and the top nuclear negotiate a critic of the 2015 nuclear deal as well as the former chief of the revolutionary god most. and as i e, he ran last 4 times already. i mean, it was saying, because these are there, i'm asked me is the deputy parliamentary speaker for the member of parliament alleys raised county as well, while the so called reformers candidates include former vice president, most in matter. alexander, he's called the nuclear dealer, great diplomatic achievements, and the former governor of iran central back abilene i or m a t. i hope i pronounced most of those names correctly. mohammed mirandi with us now iranian political land. let's professor at tech on university with us to to, i mean, just tell us a little bit more about who you think i'll be the ones to watch. i mentioned abraham dicey, who's apparently seen as the front runner. do you agree with that? yes, it's definite. me misery, you see who is the front runner?

the polls show him to be well ahead. even months before the election, the polls showed him to be well ahead of others. i think the major problem that the moderate candidates or the reform is candidates have is that the last administration is not popular. mister rani, partially because of incompetence in eyes of many, but partially because of fate. and the maximum pressure campaign that the united states has imposed on iran and bide and continues to do. so targeting women and children that made it difficult for the ra honey administration to run the country . but that's also for whatever reasons he is not popular. and so his administration is not popular and therefore those who fight on the side of the government are on the side of the reformist they are in

a more difficult position as things stand. what do you make of what we've seen today with the debate as, as tall as is actually still going on and what should have been a discussion? i think that hope to talk about the economy is turned into it seems a few personal attacks. yes. so i think for the candidates, mr. zach connie, mr. him, i t and mr. reza a as well as the pharmacy. mr. mad, these are the, these 4 candidates were i think a bit immature, i think in the way in which they were attacking each other. and i don't think any of the threats that they made against each other a serious, but they did look rather childish, but i but during the last 1520 minutes, although i haven't been watching for the last 10 minutes and seen things seem to

have calm down a bit and they're discussing issues, but again, maybe when i go back to the television, they'll have gone back to mudslinging. it's still going, i can see on the screen with you there. is this the type of thing which, which interests the iranian public. there's always these debates. well, actually i would say the debates about the debates. if i looked at us selection or other countries, whether they are vast importance, whether they move the needle as it were on public opinion, what do you think the iranian public things while there are a couple of things, one is that since the guardian council disqualify doctor law chinese, the former speaker of parliament, i think that that was itself a major issue. and that, that has been, there's been a lot of argument arguments going on over the last couple of weeks or the last week or so due to this. but in general, be of the current candidates, they are hitting each other pretty hard. as i said,

especially the 4 candidates that i mention 3 of the candidates seem to be staying away from this sort of mudslinging, but they are and they are very important in previous selections. it was the debates that decided who was the president, mr. ro, honey, was, of course, when there's an incumbent, i think that it's very difficult to defeat or dislodge him. and that hasn't happened so far. but when there is no incumbent when there are all, all of the people who are standing for presidency, or are simply candidates that we always had surprises. mister hod tammy, his election was a surprise to 3 months before the election. no one expected him to win. mister, am i the new shot? was a surprise. no one expected him to win. and mister rani too. he was also surprised . he none of these 3 people were considered favorites at the time. but in so right

now it's, i really still, even though mister racy is by far the, the front runner. i wouldn't say that it's over. it will depend on this debate and especially the last 2 debates. but since the got this government has been seen as particularly weak compared to previous administrations, it's going to be tough for anyone to dislodge miss or ac. okay, but still really good. an interesting thoughts about those last few leaders and we must keep that in mind. mom and miranda, get back to it. thank you. thank you. bye for now. now telecom firms in nigeria have shut down access to twitter, move comes a day after the government indefinitely suspended. the social media giant accusing twitter of undermining what it calls nigeria corporate existence. the suspension follows the removal of a tweet from president bahama to harry for violating to his abusive behavior policy . the posted threatened to punish regional secessionist small from our managers.

many and i did as have been accessing the micro blogging side, the twitter twitter account by using 3rd party applications on these axis is expected to go in the next few days or so. nigeria currently has internet connectivity of between 30 to 50000000 subscribers and 60 percent 50 to 60 percent of them actually access twitter. and so the market is massive and is bound to expand in the next few years or so. so that's the situation . and by the way they come and they didn't lead to come and that was bleating by switch. that was i was supposed to profession is posting on twitch. nah, i didn't know what it is. officials. in fact, i wanted a concern that was unable to wait in inside to come and posted by this session is the indigenous peoples of the app, right. and it's late at night because we actually away on exile,

inciting members and supporters to attack security officers. and even just for government property that i get an official say is what are some? and that's the reason why the president responded. and they were wondering why peter couldn't band or block they use age of such words and language by this assertion is and instead block, that's when i get a president. however, now you know, i'm more concerned about their communications and lots of a commercial traffic goes on twitter on social media side like facebook and other media media, social media accounts across nigeria. so it's development that's worrying and it will definitely go in the next few days. or so, right, we're going to talked, i show you so for now who is a niger in political activist and co founder of the hash tag. bring back out girls movement. she's on scott from a bridge. and now again, for views who maybe don't remember that goes back to 2014 doesn't at the abduction

of 267 girls by book or her um bring back how girls was huge. and i guess twitter was a very important platform for you back then. absolutely. teresa has been the voice of the people in the area and we've been able to access it to meet the mindset, guffman and a lot of what's left. that is, that the gulf might try to hide the way people and push me to, especially using i've been able to highlight. and this is one of the reasons why the government has constantly been looking for ways to shut down the internet. and then do that to shut out all of the push up. i'd be able to meet and just coke. it is actually almost like the foot of gus, but while we hold the government accountable and people are coming together and didn't, i didn't, gospel has been looking for ways to put about the kids that was given by the niger and a precedent. i saw some posts. i was a terrorist treat because he was your the what happened in 96 because that was to call my spectrum group of people the atrocities that were met out of the buffer car

that was done on the evil people in 97 where mills of able to kill is what the precedent you to trust in the work that way you want them trust me. i just, i put the member or the me not who, with who born in station he was actually checking in a whole group of people in the judah, we find back not only unacceptable we find a condemn nibble, and then a general government of, unfortunately had to be behaving like a terrorist government. i knew full side that the water watch it and doing nothing about it. but just scared, maybe talking to an analyst about this last night. it was saying it's, you know, governments. and this is a perfect example of it who have become frightened of the power of social media and how quickly things can move. yeah, well look for it, because right now with the will show me the what has happened is that the media has been democratized. so we all have boise on much in those states where the gulf might truly come out and tell us what they want us to hear. we talk hearing from us and becoming what gets put in the news today. but the more cassandra and the me

just based on people kind of gives you some people kind of show that the government is listening because it has been so angry above that. let's not forget that the 2015, the particular government has been trying to put a push on media builds, have been trying to do everything they can to spend. the social media also put a bind need and so this is on is for them, but they, you can, but one of the things that's been done on the phone is that this is the 21st century people with that. and that's what we preach. many people with that we thought we've gone through the vps, the whole thought that this is what is happening in our country. i think the what needed should look at when, when from lead us i behave in, in a ted, on my back in a pictorial minor. they shall call them to all the, for some paul precedents. what's in front was simply by the front of a precedent. what comes in the front threats guffman welcomed him, forgetting that this was somebody who was terribly well minister and the people of thank you to have repeatedly said

a thought that will for somebody who have express thing, but teach and fully that it with terror. obviously i'll tell you that we both will have a model, but you've been a minister of the federal republic of 900, but the wasn't the look the other one were being treated the way and it's treated well the way it should be more christ church would truly be moved with what we have and they do that. it's not the mostly it's a dictatorship. hi. then behind the closing of the christmas. so i show what will you as a political activist and thousands and millions of other nigerians do now? i mean, if one platform like twitter gets shut down, there are plenty of others out there. social messaging, sorry. what should i say encrypted messaging apps as well? there are still platforms out there. would you expect the government to try to hit those as well? absolutely. i mean, we've been a spectrum, that's what a very long time. remember these types of do boosting through bi legitimation by going to the national assembly. i'm actually getting a bill and act passed by,

by the parliament court for these. so we for them to bind 3 talk to have all of us we've been fighting. if i was on the street with all about, with all the color of nigeria, you know, making a note to the push i media feel and try this again with the night after the want to talk with the family. and they'll continue to try folks using the tweet that the president treat that was taken out of japan as to the looking for that we was the other which but the thing is, but like i said, i do think we're using a vpn to actually i still says that the media, i will continue to do that, will continue to speak up and continue to show our rights in the demo. chris is protect that we ask that a group of and i do that are we are not knock off, make the trip up late. i see you, so if a great to talk to you. thank you for your time. we appreciate it. thank you so much for having me. you're welcome. right, i don't often get to say this on television, but we're going to talk about safe. not an outbreak of alki tend to see of mama in turkey,

a very difficult impossible solution to this can be fought with long term monitoring fishermen say it's affecting their livelihood, it's others other than others. i'm a look at the muscles and the see snails. it kills everything. you know what it does to shellfish when they open up and prevent them from closing up again because it gets in the way. the snails die, the fish die. they can't breathe, they eat at it, but it's like cloth like hair here in this turkish region. it stretches down nearly 30 meters. this filmmaker has seen the sledge from all sides. actually there is a procedure that the sea of mama reply to the outcome of what humans did. this is triggered by humans and there is no chance to find a solution to this at the table. workers are trying to remove the sledge with nets, but it isn't working. on tuesday,
