united states. >> so the americans and british citizens were among the person traytors. does it help stp. >> to the americans, i think so far and -- it was british foreign woman. woman. and the american? es. the americans -- we have about between maybe and 18, 19. arab origin but from the u.s. that's just under lieing in the nature. >> she mentioned the minneapolis. >> the area have the largest

number of somali residents in the u.s.. earlier today, leaders held a press conference condemning the attack. we also spoke with some somali americans who are trying to distance their community from al al-shabob. question not be associated with them. >> i want to make sure that everybody knows carefully. aalaal-shabab are nothing but criminals. the u.s. government is still looking in to the reports from the intelligence communities

maybeing the claims that americans were involved in the attack. the fbi said a al-shabab are heavily in the united states. they have been recruited in the twin cities area but the fbi also says -- juan carlos in our news room tonight. thank you. and now to the latest from kenya, we go to al jazeera's in nairobi. >> reporter: the government officials coordinating the rescue as what's been going on for the last three days that they are now nearing the end of that. the government spokesman told al jazeera, that the government will have that are floor to floor making sure that no one has been left behind. he said that they are now now

>> they held up leaders saying "not tpeud to lead." he told the crowd that he met with kenyan's president and extended condolences for saturday's mall attack. after saturday's attack in kenya, many are wondering if that action could happen in the united states and earlier i talked to retired fbi agent peter herd about the risks. >> you can probably see it wrapped up on what issues are from malls, to mall security to work closely between the mall security and the first responders which will be the police departments an then depending on what would happen in something like a mall. whether it's a mall, a school, it's a same issue of having to deal with it whether there's large congregation of people can to* deal with that could probably be very problemmatic. it only takes one person with a

gun and a mission to cause problem. i know mall of america they do lock down drills just like you do in the schools in this country to get ready for any event in a mass shooting inside a mall or any public facility like that. a number of events are scheduled this week at the united nations. tomorrow, president obama, irani president will delive threr speech. that is the first paoegt between the u.s. and iranian president in 34 years. then john kerry is expected to update the status of israeli/pal israeli/palestinian. friday, we'll be monitoring those speeches from russia and china.

>> it's already shaving up to be the general assembly in years. it's amid rumors of the first high level meeting of the united states and iran for decade. the meeting of the side lines of the general assembleing by the chief. many things flow from that. that is the first meeting in order to establish how they will work together. the security council from germany will meet with the tprao*eupl during this assembly. with john kerry in the chair for the u.s., it seemed a huge turn oaf vents. the highest level meetings since teheranian revolution in i 1979.

>> the time is now right for those statements to be matched by concrete steps by iran tie dress the international community's concerns about iran's intentions and if such steps are taken then i believe a more constructive relationship can be created between us. teheran's new president is in new york and will address thectheasemily on assembly on tuesday. president obama will also speak on tuesday. the rest of the time he and john kerry will spend lobbying for security council resolution to make legal the geneva agreement between russia and the u.s. to strip syria of its chemical weapons. other keynote speech this is week can come from teus raylies and the palestinians said to call tkphroerintalks.

it would present a dilemma for the u.s. on whether tie rest him or not it will have fall outs for the u.n. which would prefer in 2005. >> and one other -- if the president omar -- they will be sitting in front of the u.s. delegation. >> president obama arrived in new york this afternoon for the u.n. meeting but this year the possible arrival of another leader and saddam's president

omar al bas h i r. with us is andrew at texas a&m university. she in the the u.s. on srae env. ambassador, it's good to see you. >> clearly we have a long satellite delay. you net if the al bashir many times. why you think he's considering attending the united nations and is there a huge risk for him? >> i think he's trying the to

embarrass the united states at a low point because of what's happened with syria and president obama looks bad. united states looks weak and will force the chemical prohibition, the treaty in chemical weapons. now it looks like we will enforce the criminal court against bashir. it's way to the make the united states look weak and ineffective. president obama bashir is under severe stress in sudan. he's citing a war and in the mountains and to a province. she a dissatisfaction and the economy a wreck. i think this is a way of uniting the country behind him and trying to divert attention from his failure of leadership inside the country. so what is your guess? what will happen tomorrow?

will he get a visa and will the united states take any action against him? will he. arrested? >> . i had reservation about the indictment when it was made it the for him to never leave office. i think he'll die in office. he's afraid if he leaves office he'll be arrested and sentenced to trial. the question is whether the indictment has been made or be enforced. we could tell as soon as he leads the u.n.s after the general assembly meeting that he will be arrested and send him to the hague. that will be an incentive to come at all. >> ambassador, it's great to

that any the funding of the government which begins next tuesday october 1st also coupleed with the defunding of the health care the law affordable care act. they sent us other the senate. they heard a preview earlier today from democratic leader harry reed and his chief antagonist in this fight. let's listen. . radical key party trying to shut down the government. called the dumbest idea ever. i want the republican center. called the box canyon and they will not escape. i second the republican senator. it's been called by one republican senator and a suicide the note by another republican senator. so the reviews are in. they are unyears sal and demand bid mouse republicans of change in the government often and work

and unrealistic. if congress votes to continuing funding obama care that union exception won't. far way and we will be left in a world where the burr tkopbs of obama care and the jobs consequences of obama care are just as hardworking american families. not on big corporation, not on members of congress and in the near future i predict not on union bosses only on hardworking american families on single moms and young people and people struggling to climb the economic leader. the trouble is it will take all week because of procedure in to the weekend to have that vote in the senate that decouples the defunding of obama care and then

there's very little time for the house to act before we go over that clip and the government does not have the funding in to the physical year provoking a government shut down. house republicans said on thursday, the fate of the legislation is uncertain. six states have similar tkhauts are now, or soon to be in place. the plan cuts would end sub disfor thousands of low income americans. of the top ten areas. washington, d.c. leads the top of government assistance. the number of undocumented immigrants may be on the rise again. the news comes from the few t research centers hispanic project.

organization used data from the government to come up from the latest figure and according to the new estimates. $11.7 million unauthorized immigrants are living in the united states as of march 2012. number of unauthorized immigrants peaked at $12.2 million fell in 20009. joining us to talk about the tebgs anding immigrant rights in california is state assemblyman bob -- he is the sponsor of a measure passed the that passed the state legislature. sorry, passed by the state legislature they louse permanent residents to sit on a jury. it's good to talk with you.

>> these are green card holders who made their home in california. they live here and have raised a family. rather than confirming benefits like drivers license or a right to practice law, we are giving them a duty. we're sayinging you're here. we want you to participate in the jury deliberations. from the jury -- -- it checks the precedence and it's more representive of what we have here in california. >> we clarify what i was saying earlier. you allowed these here legally to serve on jury price have not become citizens yet. there's also legislation that will give drivers licensed to undocumented imgrants and also student financial aid to undocumented aid and allow them to go to law school is.

that correct? >> the federal law says the state has to take an affirmive action. it's part of the federal law we have. i don't know if other states have done that but california has done it where if you phase the bar and you're always wise of good moral character and notwithstanding your thraoel status then you can be admitted to practice and pass the bar. we know there are many students that are in the university that are undocumented. they came to the crown try the as infants. we don't want to punish them because of their parent's activities. we have 2.5 million undocumented folks here in california.

fortunately, they drive or whatever your opinion is. we want the to make sure that they are licensed and that they understand the rule to the road and got insurance and complying with the laws. until 20 years ago you could get a drivers license in california it's treating that population a little bit differently than we have for the last 20 years. >> we're a very diverse state. just within the legal permanent resident population. it's 3.5 million people. they can be lawyers, you could be a judge and don't have to be a u.s. citizen.

most people don't know that. rather than have a prohibition on that it, you are here and hopefully's more reflective of our peers than the people that are livinging in oh our community. we have students that are going through the university and have gone through kindergarten here. they present themselves as all american. they speak english probably in more than some u.s. citizens. we've always been interested in education but always wanting to take the benefits that come along with the highly educated class of folks.

it's a classic idea. >> it's not just hispanics or latinos that have the highest number of undocumented immigrants it's also the asians. >> i think the number is 40%. it's a large chunk but you have 60% which are others. people from all over world. and california is still in an attraction. we're risk takers in the state. there's a lot of benefits. who knows who will have the next great idea. we would like to be an inbay or the for that type of activity. >> there's a lot of talk of immigration reform in the united states during the last several months and now it's time now -- you have any hope that the united states will pass

immigration reform in the coming years? i would like to think they would get more in the past year. there's a reasonable amount of republicans that said we want to come up with comprehensive immigration and part of it is you indicated in the intoduction, 11.7 people who are here undocumented. from our point of view in the west coast. there's a lot of folks from my area that would like to see when somebody gets a ph.d that

they're actually given a green card and say stay in america and make contributions to california. do the best that you can. >> well, it's great to talk with you tonight. thanks for staying up with us in sacramento, we appreciate it. >> a 4-year-old boy has died in new orleans after being infected with a rare ameba. now it has res tkepblgts worried about the safety of their drinking water. al jazeera's andy gallagher reports. >> residents have contaminated tap water here is still a worry. >> i don't think i need to risk my young ones and i have the a 4-year-old. he likes to play in his tub. it's a shame he can't play in

his tub. >> we just opted to not go swimming far while until it's cleared up. the. this stems from the death oh of 4-year-old. he died in july after being infected from the deadly brain e oneba it's found in the water supply and it's now safe. with head boots on the ground. we have to take it serious. >> i do not believe now it's the water system. >> they are normally found in areas of opened untreated water. and he causes a problem when he enters a person's they package. they are stressing that the drinking water is completely safe.

if you want your child not to die a khoeurb a horrible death. you lock up your guns because the likelihood of disaster is so much smaller than these other things that we accept as a daily risk that it's kind of amazeing. >> reporter: invest gav they sae to drink. it makes some resident seem insecure about their water. now, since 1962, 128 people have been infected with that ameba in the united states. we return to nairobi where heavy and gunfire again can be

heard inside the kenyan shopping mall under siege tpweud group gp al-shabab. i believe the gunfire has died down again. yesterday in kenyan there was gunfire. the kenyan government says that tault hostages have been released and they were sweeping the the mall to make sure that all the gunman had been captured. there is more gunfire inside the mall. we don't know why. in the meantime what we are hearing from the kenyan government in this country to night, telling pbs that the latest information that we have is that three, possibly three americans may have been involved, recruited from the united states and involved in this attack. so, we're listening in but if we have more information we'll bring it back to you later on. >> coming up, a talk with the

broncos an early lead. manning shoots it down and this would be touchdown number 11 foremaning which is timing with brady. but giddy up because here's the recourt in the second quarter. manning for 374-yards. he had 12 touchdowns on the season. no interceptions. thank the raiders, 37-21 to improve to 3-0. manning was -- it's young star in baseball but tonight he suffered a nasty leg injury so you might want to close your eyes because this video is nasty. he was running to first base. his left leg just gave out. he was in obvious pain

and had to be carted off the field. it's his left knee that buckled. he's been up in the first season in the majors thraegd lead while playing fabulous defense at third base. close your eyes. he will undergo an mri tomorrow. baltimore lost the game 5-4 and that final play off spot with six games remaining. all right, another young player -- and the angels's out fielder and putting up ridiculous numbers. numbers that that you can compare with the all-time great. >> it's 3-0. it's hammered and left center. . his ability to run. the red, catch, hit and hit the power and he

epitomizes the player. the first player at mlb history and over bases before turning 22. he's also just one of four players of all-time and 200 tphrus runs and a 320 batting average in the first big two big league seasons. now, i'm a very confident guy. >> he played in the field and even had his peers involved.

for crowds, he's only faced himself just one of his countless accomplishments. this year, it's that cycle. . >> after i hit the home run, it's the first time i ever slammed somethi something. something. he came over and asked me all the questions of the world. when i sit here aeupbld watch him on tv and he's got a smile on his face. he's playing with the passing and he will run

hard all the time. he's always running in to walls and always dives for balls. he's doing everything possible to leave it on the field. >> anything you can know you ask him. several baseball insiders have the mvp award rather than miguel cabrarra. people are always writing about it and not talking about it. to me, they come out and the time will come. don't miss out. whatever i can do to help the team and down road. >> michael three, al jazeera.
