Hello we begin with the latest developments in iraq where Kurdish Forces have been withdrawing in large numbers theyve pulled out of several towns in the face of an advance by iraqi troops the territory included singe our mahmud away. And the towns that were seized by Kurdish Peshmerga and recent years after defeating eisel there are now under the control of iraqi shah militias and Government Troops who have also taken over all all the oil fields near clear kook iraqi forces moved into the contested city on monday its part of an operation ordered by the Prime Minister to take back kurdish held areas which lie outside in the kurdish autonomous region straight to Charles Stratford who is monitoring developments for us out of erbil that is in Northern Iraq what can you tell us about the latest disputed territories where the Kurdish Forces have pulled out of charles. Was incredible the speed with which this is happening nobody predicted this two days ago we had statements from the good Regional Government and the various kurdish factions fallowing to defend these areas until the last page. And it is all basically happened in two days as you say those towns sin job which interestingly enough the Iraqi Government does not consider to be a disputed territory and all those other areas my whole. Day all approvals and go away all these areas that were taken control of by the patient it which were in two thousand and fourteen and two thousand and sixteen many of these areas taken control of the iraqi army flayed it is a huge consternation here the government said that this is going on and some very. You know Big Questions being made by the kurdish Regional Government as to how this is happened and interestingly enough the conspiracy theories are running rife was somebody old was there at the to kill a policy that was responsible for making this happen with in the k. Ology because as i say these territories was seen as being in take rule to a future independent kurdish state in Northern Iraq one wonders how the barzani governments must be looking in on to all of this said charles what impact do we expect this to have on the barzani government. With its huge pressure now on the barzani government and as i say there are a number of questions being asked about who potentially could be responsible for this sudden with tools i mean interestingly enough that been allegations made by a number of different people some of them very close to the barzani himself suggesting that there may have been a deal done by officials by high members of the p u. K. Policy a deal done between those members of the p u k policy and the Iraqi Government and possibly even by members big top military brass from the iranian side as well now these allegations being cooked towards the p k being still denied by them but yes not only are we seeing huge territorial losses here that were made gains made by the the k r g and the peshmerga but were also looking at a Major Political crisis here massive pressure on the barzani government and he himself asking how indeed this is happened Charles Stratford giving us the update from erbil thank you. The philippine president says his military has liberated the Southern City of morale. Battle against isis a link fighters president rodrigue of the territory says the city has been freed from what he called terrorists but his military says fighting is still continuing the announcements came a day after two senior commanders from local isolating groups were killed more than a thousand people have died in the conflict its also displaced at least four hundred thousand others jamail and organ isnt murali itself or so at least officially the president is saying that the city was liberated we know that he was in the main battle zone thats where he held a flag raising ceremony with the troops. Yes theory that he was basically a hate hilly organized event we were told just about thirty minutes before that the flag raising ceremony was going to happen in a village in what i would see if he called bangalore which is that the heart of the ferocious gunfire gun battle between the Philippine Military and the mouthy group over the last few months there the president spoke of rehabilitation over Lessons Learned in making sure that this incident will never happen again and making those responsible accountable he warned local a bit of the shows those who have that with these groups those that continue to accept drug money basically to watch out because he intends to go after them too he then reassured those fighters who went went there that their sacrifices have been worth it it was a very much a bittersweet victory for the Philippine Military they lost over one hundred soldiers this has been one of the most difficult difficult battles they have ever fought in the region long have backed by poverty and armed rebellion two of them out top leaders were killed in a military operation does this mean does it signal to us that this is the end of the multi. No it isnt and in fact thats something that we as general i knew yesterday as the chief of staff of the Philippine Military he said now that the mouth of the group is leaderless and it will take some time before a leader rises up again but if we look at the history of mindanao if we look at all the other armed groups that are set up in their own territories in different areas and control every time they lost a leader they always manage to bounce back and find someone basically as they call it rise from the ashes and deliver for all of their sympathizers weve seen that through the abu sayyaf weve seen that with the rebel groups now in peace negotiations with the Philippine Military so what is important and critical here there really is to not just focus on military operations but they look at how radicalism can be a jazz weve been communities and it remains to be seen whether the sympathizers will actually defect or maybe that the fighting will just move to a different area here in mindanao ok thank you for. The u. N. Says the number of refugees who fled violence in myanmar has risen to five hundred eighty two fellows and the global body released drone video to highlight the scale of the mass exodus of revenge or to bangladesh as you can see the video right there so the revenger escaping a military crackdown in Rakhine States in the un describing the crackdown as ethnic cleansing tundra childfree has more for us from call bizarre thats near the Bangladeshi Border with me and more. The u. N. A. T. R. Aerial footage shows a large number of refugees on the other side of bother trying to cross into bangladesh now this is corroborated by our source on the other side as well as Bangladesh Border god on monday at least fifteen ten to fifteen thousand refugees crossed over into bangladesh and shop where they buried and along all their Land Boundary area influx is continuous maybe not in Staggering Numbers sometimes but on average two to four thousand people crosses into bangladesh the fifth ration on the other side in myanmar is still very active and volatile what we hear from the refugees talking to them families and other members is that they are very scared to get out of the house that is no food to all the food shops are closed theres no aid agency distributing any kind of food specially in western rather a kind state rather and theyre trying to cross into buying that theres this big shelter in quite a steady hour filtered island in the not very bright and wait for the optimum moment to cross into bangladesh on the other side the bank of this government is not planning to set up a huge refugee camp which is supposed to accommodate up to eight hundred thousand people that is a Staggering Number of people in one refugee camp how they going to manage this is a question yet to be seen this is a larger than the population of washington d. C. City one reason the government is trying to do that is that on one the royal refugees to scattered across bangor that they want to confine them in one area so they can have a better planning of distribution of relate aid and other emergency aid into one particular camp but most of this camp around a ruler shanty town to accommodate that many people in one concentrated area is a clear danger of spreading of Infectious Disease and also a very uncomfortable and i know many in a small concentrated area in one particular place this situation remains volatile and active in both side of the border as up now still ahead on aljazeera a leading voice against corruption in malta is silence top stories coming up and firefighters in portugal.

Rescue crews in somalia are working to find survivors three days after the countrys worst ever attack more than three hundred people were killed and hundreds more injured when a truck bomb explosion ripped through the heart of the capital. Reports. Its a search to recover bodies and perhaps to find survivors rescue workers hope theres still life under these piles of rubble. Twenty four hours after the explosion we found a young man who was alive the first thing i asked for was a phone so he could call his family he will continue to look for survivors for as long as it takes. More than three hundred people died in saturdays bombing attack in mogadishu scores are still missing. And his family were nearby when the car exploded he hasnt seen his brother since. My brother and his wife very near the blast that hes still. Out or if they survived weve gone to the sea and all the hospitals but still nothing. Many families are left with only questions not knowing whether to grieve or hang on to hope. My son had a pharmacy. Where the tragedy happened we still dont know where he is dead or a life he had to wives and twelve children he was a sole breadwinner. For Survivors International help has arrived military planes take these victims to turkey where theyll receive specialized treatment with limited resources and medical supplies local hospitals are struggling. In my career as a doctor ive never seen anything like this they were burned bodies all over the place hundreds of fatalities were registered at medina hospital countless are injured. Countries like kenya ethiopia and qatar are offering logistical help locals are also doing what they can retrieving bodies from the rubble providing food and water for emergency workers. But they are also angry hundred suit to the streets to protest the attack they blame the armed Group Fighting the government and. Union peacekeepers inside somalia. It was a message ive never seen anything like it in the last twenty seven years i saw a little boys head lying on the ground it was shocking. No one has yet claimed responsibility but speaking to al jazeera and al shabaab spokesman refused to confirm or deny responsibility the president who visited the scene blames what he calls terrorists targeting innocent civilians. The shock has now turned to anger pain and frustration as somalis deal with the deadly aftermath and all rising death toll. Now dizzier muhammad the doe has the latest from the somali capital mogadishu. What happened on saturday only one of the busiest streets of mogadishu is never been seen in these country and all blame is pointing out that they are the only group of students being cutting out talks like this one loading trucks with explosives targeting government as well as citizens as their targets so many people here have absolutely no doubt about themselves who carried out these attacks this is a nation still in mourning this is the. Final day of a period of mourning declared by president mohamed up the life of module assume. Many people. The mockup mission of looking for any survivors as well as the boldness of the people who steal. The rubble of buildings the collapsed buildings within some buildings within to me to the kilometers radius of the collapsed and it is a huge task rescue workers us team looking for the bodies as well as survivors they were really encouraged yesterday late in the evening when they found a survivor bill seriously injured under the rubble of the one of the buildings collapsed so. The people are still in shock but immediately the mourning period is over many questions some of them very difficult and one the government would be facing would be the question why is it unable to stop such kind of a tox israel is set to announce plans to build almost two and a half thousand new settlements Housing Units forty percent of them will be built east of the separation wall in the occupied west bank harry fosset has more from what im on the. Well you know incidents expected over the next couple of days should see some two thousand four hundred or slightly more approvals being announced for new Housing Units in illegal israeli settlements in the occupied west bank the number that was announced just a few days ago by the Israeli Government was more than three thousand seven hundred so the difference could be made up in the final tenders in retrospective approvals of some structures that have already been built there are two things of note about this announcement firstly there are four such announcements every year this one alone is a lot more hundreds more than the entire total for twenty sixteen so it shows a real excel aeration of settlement construction also a significant portion lie deep inside palestinian territory well away from the separation barrier well away from the nine hundred sixty seven border that the major settlement blocks there forty percent east of that barrier so a lot of these houses will be built and apartments will be built in isolated settlements making the prospects for those to be evacuated in any future two state solution all the more difficult all that has to be said there isnt much prospect of that much optimism for that here on the palestinian side of the equation at the moment this is a real its a celebration which were seeing under the presidency of donald trump the Israeli Government feeling a bit more liberated at the same time part Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu is saying that he is to some extent having to restrain the expectations of his powerful secular bloc in his own coalition trying to restrain the construction process it doesnt feel like that on the palestinian side the u. K. Prime minister to resign may and president jiang called your own career have agreed in brussels to step up negotiations on britains exit from the European Union talks have been so far mired in difficulties and its also butler has more. Well there was no great breakthrough after this but both sides agreed that more progress needs to be made in these breaks that negotiations and that no surprise because we are at a critical point its a few days until a summit of e. U. Leaders here in brussels and a few months back it was thought that this would be the point at which britain would start negotiating discussing things like trade and its future relationship with the e. U. Instead read a situation in which e. U. Leaders and the british Prime Minister well they find themselves in absolute a deadlock and able to move forward to resume a knows its a critical point she has certainly stepped up efforts to try and move forward she has spoken to the Prime Minister of ireland today she spoke to the french president the german chancellor as well but the problem is the e. U. Says until certain points of the socalled a divorce settlement reached and concluded and clarified by the british and the e. U. Officials are going to move forward and those three points of contention remain the same as they have done for weeks now the e. U. Wants britain to basically clarify how much money its going to put into the e. U. Budget how much of. The status of e. U. Citizens working in the u. K. And more information on what the intentions are of london in regards to the border of Northern Ireland now how all this will play out at the end of the week when this summit takes place here in brussels remains to be seen but there is it is very clear the no one wants to see the one thing that everyone is talking about now and that is the real possibility of a situation in which no deal is made hundreds of people have taken to the streets in barcelona to demonstrate against the jailing of Catalan Independence campaigners. Are being investigated for sedition against spain there were queues of organizing rallies in support of a controversial referendum that was held earlier this month catalonia as workers are being told to strike on and protest.
