the capital we end up on saturday route thirty degrees in tehran following weather to the west that started iraq back to the coasts of the mediterranean high teens old twenty's but a breeze picking up in iraq and blowing south was the rainy day in sunday moving eastwards leaving iraq into afghanistan again significant snow is certainly possible up to kabul and beyond belief fine weather behind and that is fairly typical in these storms because here you end up with a schmaltzy blowing down the gulf if it's been dry in iraq that could be a dusty one that is the case now he's temperatures in the low twenty's and feels like it as far west as riyadh but in mecca that wind direction a pretty hot sweaty six seems likely. we've seen some pretty nasty flooding recently in malawi the remains of one tropical cyclone still visible there and it may well turn into a soft on again as it goes off shore into the mozambique channel but a line of rays to exist from madagascar through some parts of mozambique to the middle of the way with heavy rain still forecast. a hundred and sixty years ago a musician started i

month's worth in just one day you can see how this next area of cloud that's running across iraq pushing towards and west inside of iran and it's allowing this next weather system which will gradually roll in from the eastern side of the mediterranean over the next couple of days as we want to keep an eye on less a set up that we have for friday really heavy rain coming in across southern parts of greece pushing across into the south of the snow over the mountains fifteen celsius for aleppo and then as we go on through friday and on sas day you can see how that really gathers little circulation there in the eastern side of the maid around crates pushing across into cyprus pushing that rain right down the levant so right the way across the good parts of the coastal areas of syria pushing across into lebanon see some very heavy rain is right also seeing some pretty wet weather clear skies they are still in place there four to rob but as we go on through sunday i'm also into monday heavy rain will set in for western parts. sponsored by qatar airways. april on al-jazeera nato leaders will gather just celebra

mean that there is not a many many things that need still fixing in iraq and that this is a thing who should fix it because the west does not cover itself in glory in going into iraq and trying to fix things well just as in many many other places of course it's true of the people themselves of iraq to primarily take this process into their hands and they can get support from the outside and of course rushed withdrawals from the u.s. won't help it at the moment either if you just kind of throw them into the ultimate out in the open but we can't allow violence that we've seen in the past but this is still to to be seen and i think for the time being we really have to to understand that for iraqi authorities probably there are many many other things that are much higher on the list of priorities than these kind of allegations and this is not to justify them but i think the key thing for iraq is yes to come out of a posse of she isone and could ish in fighting and massive killing on each side on the sides and bring the country together into one single government that sort of more or less speaks for the whole country be

will what we need to see is they still able to carry out attacks not only in syria and iraq but also. in the west they vow that they will and actually when you see these prisoners coming out. the fighters surrendering or doing their wives and their relatives there is a certain defiance that ongoing there they're still continuing to say that this lab mix tape with bach which in arabic means is remaining so the fight against the ideology is going to be much more complicated perhaps than the fight against on the ground and trying to read. from any kind of stronghold. thank you. the european union and india have become the latest areas to ban the boeing plane involved in the ethiopian airlines disaster on sunday the growing list of countries has grounded the seven three seven max eight or blocked the jets from using their airspace and more than thirty airlines from norway turkey india south korea mexico and brazil they've all suspended using the boeing model as well the u.s. aviation regulator has asked the company to modify its software remember hundred fifty seven people were killed when the plane

again not to quite the same degree that brought the flash floods the west bank to be further north running through syria and northern iraq and by this time it looks fine weather cobbles in the sunshine and about seven degrees at sunday come monday and it's still west that we look more rain in cloud march eastwards to the iranian border to be replaced by showers frequent showers in the lebanon and probably as fast south as sinai beyond that where the breeze has been blowing quite steadily and that's going to slowly lighten on sunday and indeed monday along the thames has decided saudi arabian around the gulf nations to rise slowly a sunny picture not a particularly dusty picture. the rains been moving out to southern africa recently but is going to be a brief pause i think for big showers to reappear on the eastern side of south africa in sudden mozambique and particularly concentrating in southern tanzania. well daniel watching i just did a reminder of top stories this hour u.s. president donald trump is about to speak on the final day of a major conference of american conservative it's been a week that saw a failed summ

iraq have been severely diminished but there still are isis factions there's still the ideology and support of the ideology and isis remains active in the sinai peninsula and also parts of africa including west africa so the concern is that while isis has been severely diminished in syria and iraq we could see a repeat like we did with al qaida when the u.s. invaded iraq al qaeda went underground and then the reserve search resurgence years later that is a concern and isis operatives not only throughout the middle east region but in europe as well why sources in a place that is reducing its presence in syria continues to provide military support to the kurds why well the kurds have been the u.s. is number one ally in the fight against isis and have made significant strides but i mean a lot of the fight against isis has been carried out by sworn enemies of the united states actually by the. syrian army itself by the lebanese militant group hezbollah by the iranians and by the russians so you know it's a very kind of complex web in syria but i mean we could definitely see a resurgence as john talked about while isis has been territorially defeated in the sense they don't actually control terri

some very heavy rain again across parts of not only into the western part of iraq as well as into iran but also here across the west the eastern parts of the med over the next few days this area is still very saturated so any rain falling across this area over the next few days is going to be causing some widespread flooding and as you can see here as we go towards monday and in from where from that northwestern part of iran all the way down here across the south well we expect to see probably about one hundred to two hundred more militaries of rain and that is exactly what we saw earlier causing that widespread flooding across that region. thank you very much kevin now still ahead on the king's hour back in the dark widespread power outages had venezuela's capital and other cities and in sports the king himself a broad james carries the l.a. lakers for the end of a rough season won that coming up a judge. april on al-jazeera nato leaders will gather to celebrate the seventieth anniversary of the un loans in washington d.c. madam husain engages in rigorous debates cutting through the headlines on up front twenty fi

not only in syria and iraq but in the sinai peninsula in egypt, in somalia, in the philippines, in westica, in many places. so isis, not just isis, but isis and al qaeda, the al qaeda that attacked the united states on 9/11 were most likely survive and fight another day and another -- and unless middle eastern states and arab and muslim states and the international communities of the united states tackle the real drivers that gave rise to isis, my fear and i hope i am wrong, george, my fear is that isis will mostly rebound in the next one or two or three years. >> you are talking about, fawaz, those areas, those ungovernable spaces like in afghanistan, yemen, syria, iraq, libya and so on, parts of saudi arabia where c radicalized ideology, different ways of looking at islam certainly are places where you point out the terror attacks of 9/11, people came from that part. >> you know, george, you just put your finger really on the pulse of three major points. the first point is that one of the lessons we have learned about isis and al qaeda, they are nourished in conflict zones. wherever t

a combat soldier and officer conducted fruitless counterinsurgency in iraq and afghanistan, which is remarkably similar to the west bank and gaza, the term defeat has come to seem absurd. highly unrealistic. how can one people, how can one defeat a people's movement. can one win a true counterinsurgency? i am doubtful. thatis the assumption israel can and should defeat the palestinians. this is fantasy, wishful thinking at best. lastly we returned to the phrase palestinian movement. my opponent believes today's palestinian movement is the enemy. an entity worthy only of destruction. i think when he looks at palestine, palestinians, and their organization he sees isis. are little more than terrorists in this telling, and that is not accurate. beyond wildly inaccurate iit is a dangerous conception. the vast majority of palestinians, like the vast majority of muslims, are not civilian-slaughtering terrorists. people. a diverse the most highly educated arab people on the planet.there are monsters among them , but this is a small fraction of the beautiful whole. the very framework and the glitch and construction of the

iraq and syria. isis has active franchises in afghanistan, in libya, in egypt, and beyond. and yes, there will be more attacks in the westn't always say that the attacks were planned or commissioned by the group, but that's not the point. the point is that the ideology alone is enough to inspire those attacks. the ideology is very much alive. to understand why, just look at the places where it started. syria's civil war is not yet over. iraq is still divided, too. and then there's everyone else with an interest in the region. america, russia, iran, turkey, all with their own different agendas. there are splits along sectarian lines, along ethnic lines, along regional lines. as long as those rivalries exist, the middle east is going to remain a deeply unstable place. fertile ground for those who don't mind mixing extreme violence with a narrow, medieval version of islam. and remember, groups like is, like its predecessors, were able to cause mayhem without actually occupying any territory at all. and there's no reason to suppose they can't do that again. the pentagon said isis remains an active insurgent group in both ira
