Hopeful Hillary Clinton makes her first public appearance. And in sport we have concerns over rio olympic venue after hundreds of dead fish wash up onshore. We begin in yemen and the United NationsSecurity Council has voted in favor of a resolution which imposes sanctions on houthi fighters. It also calls on the rebels to stop fighting and withdraw from all areas theyve captured including the capital of sanaa. It is calling on yemenis to protest the Security Councils move. There has been more fighting particularly around the port city of aden, the port capital and supply routes have been affected. The u. N. Security council sending a tough message to the houthis. Before them for a vote, a resolution calling on the group to withdraw from all the territory theyve taken in recent months, including the capital sanaa. The resolution passed but with one significant on sentencing by russia. It had wanted an immediate ceasefire. Instead, there will be humanitarian pauses organized by the u. N. But in congestion with president hadi, which most security couple members including the u. S. Supports the saudiled operation. The houthis working with in close coordination with Ali Abdullah Saleh and has threaten the regions welfare and security. Reporter the council decided to extend sanctions and arms embargo. Theyllwhat if the houthis dont comply . Could that lead to Saudi Led Coalition to a ground operation . The entire operation today is the product of the noncompliance of the houthis. If theyre not complying theyll face more of the same. The resolution say that the humanitarian focuses should be organized in conjunction with the government of president hody but ban kimoon said he wants immediate facetoface talks and says ultimately there is no military solution to the crisis in yemen. James bays, al jazeera, of the United Nations. Meanwhile the Egyptian Presidency has discussed with saudi a military maneuver in saudi arabia. And the moves could involve other golf states. They say its spiritual leader has been killed in a drone attack. The United States had posted a reward for the cleric. We have more from doha. Reporter it remains to be seen how this whole compression was inacted. It makes sense that there has been some level of coordination between the saudis who have massive experience in dealing with alqaeda and aqap in particular forces loyal to president abd Rabbuh Mansur hadi active in the southern part of yemen, and the americans have been following top command. Its been very important in aqap. Its religious facade of the group. Someone who issues religious fact someone who finds justifications for the operations conducted by aqap. He has been asking people all over the world and scrutinize the activities. He was also suspected of the fight with aqap with alqaeda and isil and his death comes with a major set back with alqaida. Iraqs Prime MinisterHaider Alabadi visits the white house, but they said that the battle would not be won overnight. The iraqi Prime Minister and u. S. President have met but both sides are telling a very different story of what the meeting was actually about. According to the White House Press secretary the iraqi Prime Minister didnt have any specific asks for military hardware but were hearing from the iraqi side a much different story. They asked the white house for drones and apache helicopters. The president was asked about that in the meeting. And said thats why we have this meeting. The president did make the point that any assist stance foreign assistance given to iraq has to go through the Iraqi Government to protect their sovereignty and for accountability. Did he announce an additional 205 million in humanitarian aid. You thank you very much, indeed for coming to talk with us. What do you think this difference in the kind of appears to be the two narratives coming from this one meeting . Well, to be honest with you before we start to answer that question we should ask ourselves where does the ten years of training the iraqi army . The americans from 2003 to 2009 they were training the iraqi army and spent billions on this training. And if we dont want to include the 60 billion of free Construction Cost where does all this training go . Because they didnt manage to fight against isil . Well, obviously. Weve all seen the collapse of the iraqi army in mosul. They could not stand in the face of the isisdaesh and they were defeated within hours. And we saw that in tikrit. If the question of the Iraqi Government is for this budget to be to train the iraqi army, the question is does the american or Iraqi Government capable of training the iraqi army and prepare them to fight isis within six months . They couldnt stand for hours after ten years of training. What are they going to do within six months . I dont think it serves to train them for six months. The success window overred night. What is clear is we will be successful. Do you think there is going to be more money coming in towards bolstering the iraqi army rather than helping the humanitarian side as the military operation is going on as well. Do you think it will be more aid in the fight against isil . If there is an serious American Army to aid the army. No what were witnessing in iraq because of the airstrikes of the coalition forces, and because of the iranian militias who are the actually iraqi show in tikrit and other areas occupied by the militias. And they now they excuse fighting but month so the casualties are from the civilians. Other than 27,000 persons have been abducted. All this accounted into the benefits of the iran militia who are the aid from the Iraqi Government. Your view of the progress heralded here against isil is not as significant as suggesting . If there was serious obligation to get rid of isis, and what we are facing at the moment in mosul or diyala or we shouldamerica should consider the iranian militias, the militias supported by the iranians. They are the actual leaders of the troops and they are fighting isis at the moment. But any chance if the Iraqi Government has managed to come to the American Administration and get this request done and to get this done, then by default this aid goes indirectly to the militias because they are the rulers of the sea. Thank you very much for your thoughts. Yes. They its too early to talk about awards for iran. A final deal has yet to be reached. Irans Foreign Ministers say sanctions on his country need to be removed before world powers reach a nuclear deal. The family work was reached in switzerland before marathon talks this month. Whatever happens inside the u. S. And however they want to spin t all the sanctions economic and financial sanctions have been imposed on iran by the e. U. And the United States. Must go in the first state. U. S. Senate committee has approved legislation that would prevent the white house from lifting sanctions on iran. Democrats and republicans reason republicans reached a compromise and set up a 30day review period. Rosalind jordan has been following this at capitol hill. How significant is this . Well, the significance is that if it basically removes one big obstacle between the white house and members of congress, both republicans and democrats on the wish of whether congress can actually have any say in the Ongoing International negotiations with iran over its nuclear program. If the measure voted on tuesday makes it to the president s desk the white house indicates that the president will sign the bill. However, there are several members who dont think that this compromise is Strong Enough and you can expect to see in the next several weeks efforts to put more amendments as they call them lauren, to try to toughen some of the provisions in this measure. Of course, that could simply up end what many in the senate are calling a grand compromise today, but it does remove for the moment a source of tension between the white house and congress. But in the end were not talking necessarily about the whole deal with iran are being scuffle . There are some who do not exist irans rightdo not belief that iran is engageing in terrorism types of behavior. These are things that could come up as the legislation comes forward, and then there is the larger matter what if there is a deal accomplished by june 30th . Members of congress could then start taking a look at the measure and look at this legislation as its signed into law as really ammunition to try to up end the u. S. effort to a party of the final international agreement. Its still too early to say that the controversy in washington has ended. Roslind jordan thank you very much indeed. Still ahead on this hour further measures to bring cuba back in from the cold. And migrants rescued at sea by italys coast guard. And well tell you which team has one foot in the semifinals. More details coming up with jo later on in the program. At least 20 iraqi civilians have been killed in a series of car bombs in and around baghdad. There have been five explosions in total. The pictures shows the aftermath of a blast. To syria now where there has been more fighting in the city of aleppo. Syrian military jets have carried out bombing raids. Reporter field hospitals in part of aleppo held by the opposition has done struggling with the growing numbers of the wounded. All of the wounded were civilians. There were no fighters among them. They are women and children who are still under the rubble. Reporter people there say the Syrian Government has increased barrel bomb attacks on this and other parts in western aleppo. People say that when these bombs drop entire families disappear and rescuers dig for days to recover the bodies. Why are you doing this . Were supposed to be your people. The fighters could bomb the areas under the regimes patrol, but they wont do it as a matter of revenge. Were muslims. Take into consideration interest are women and children here. Sirens sound and people take cover. Overnight bombardment has intensified in areas in and around aleppo. Activists say that it has worsened in recent days, and 135 schools and markets have been closed until further notice. Barrel bombs are not the only threat. Fighting between groups in aleppo have intensified. Regime forces backed by hezbollah fighters are on the north part of aleppo. They fight the al nusra front. The country side near the military airport its held by isil trying to capture mortar tore. And its not just aleppo. There are no more classes at this school in homs. It has become a shelter for people whose homes have been destroyed. Had woman was forced to leave her home, but even here she struggles to feed her children. We were displaced and i dont even know what happened to my husband. I have three children. My son was killed while he was working. I dont even know where he was buried. As syrias war drags on there is no end in sight for their suffering. Human rights watch says it has evidence that strongly suggests Syrian Government forces used toxic chemicals during attacks northwest of the country. Rescue workers reported multiple attacks in idleb. Which killed six people including three children and affected more than 200 others. The group says that eyewitness accounts photographs and video foughtage from three of the attacks indicate use of a chemical agent possibly chlorine. The white house has said that president obama is to remove cuba from the states list of terror. Its a key step towards normalizing relations between the two countries just three days after an historic meeting between president obama and raul castro. We have more from havana. Reporter Julio Ramirez was a soldier in the ethiopia in the 1970s. He was one of many troops that were sent to help the ethiopian government. It was a just fight. Those who wanted to go could go. They were almost obliged to go. Many of us went to defend the ethiopians. Theyre similar to us cubessens. We got along very well. We made good friends. Reporter president castro called it an act of solidarity between comrades in need. While the cold war was still hot, washington saw cuban involvement in ethiopia, angola and others as unacceptable intervention. It is accused of aiding armed rebels it called terrorist organizations. Freedom fighters or terrorist organizations, cuban history is built on emphasizing the battle of the oppressed against the oppressor. These trenches built in havana in the 1960s as defenses against the threat of u. S. Invasion. The u. S. Said cuba provided arms training and safe haven to rebel groups such as the farc in colombia and the basque separatists in spain. This monument is for north ireland ira strikers who died in 1981. The following year washington placed cuba on its list. There is a mutual distrust from the power that believes that they can do whatever they want and its more power and small power that looks at the United States as the big elephant that can hurt it no matter what they do. Fidel castro said in the 1990s that the cuban support of insurgents was a thing of the past. While iraq was removed from the list, cuba remained, until now. The world has changed and u. S. Cuba relations are trying to catch up. Al jazeera havana. Were live from washington. What happens next with congress over this then. Right because president obama all he has done actually is certified the state Department Certification that cuba has not been involved in terrorism in last six months and is not likelied to so soon. Congress has had have 45 days to put together a vetoproof majority to prevent president obama from officially taking cuba off the terrorism list. That might be an uphill battle. Were hearing from the usual suspects in congress in a this is a terrible idea, and two of the potential republican nominees are already saying we cant do this. Even though the polls know show in the u. S. That 50 of cubaamericans now agree. However, theyre going to be saying we cant possibly do this. But there is another factor, that is the u. S. Chamber of commerce. They have quite a bit of insurance as well. By influence they spend an awful lot of money trying to convince people that their view is the correct one. It was at the summit in panama well have to see what affects deliberations in congress will have in 45 days. And might we get diplomatic deliberations . The state department will say nothing has been planned yet but cuba said they are not going to even consider the reestablishment of diplomatic relations until they got off this list. At the very least if they do move towards diplomatic relations banks that have been loathed to deal with cuban for fear of punishment by the government as they have been in the past. Meanwhile president obama has some latinoen american win. He has fostered a great deal of ill will from the beginning of his term when he supported the coup in honduras, something that Hillary Clinton is still boasting about now even to the recent weeks the Obama Administration speaking about sanctions, unanimously against that move in the regional groups. The u. S. Under obama still meddling with latin america. Obama needs a winner. At the very least president obama could claim a win and well see whether or not cuba does get off this list. Thank you very much. Italian coast guard said that 85,000 people have been rescued8500 people have been rescued. Theyre thought to be from syria and sub saharan africa. Well, the United Nations said that the military sea crossing is the most dangerous stretch of water in the world for migrants. Back in 2013 almost 43,000 people attempted the crossing, and about 600 migrants were killed. Last year that rows dramatically more than 170,000 people tried to make the crossing and about 3,400 died in the attempt. This year around 18,000 people have tried to cross the sea and 500 have already been killed. In sicily, they say that traffickers are taking advantage of people as summer approaches. Reporter what needs to be clear here is that the situation is out of control. Yesterday, more than 5,800 over the weekend the cost guard has been involved in more than 20 rescue operations yesterday. What is expected to happen tomorrow is that at least seven arrivals are expected. The weather conditions are very good at the moment. And this, of course, is making a lot of people leave and traffickers using people from across libya as much as they can. Still ahead. [ children sing.
