al-sisi. -- they had glags with abdul fatah al-sisi. >> we spoke to a correspondent in cairo, who is remaining anonymous for security isecurity reasons. >> for the past fewer hours security forces pushed back anti-coup protesters. the march happened at 2 o'clock. we were at the head of the march, at the beginning of the march. there were easily 2,000-3,000 people there. certainly the biggest protest there has been in egypt since the violent crackdown in mid-august. that march made its way towards tahrir square. more joined it. perhaps 5,000 people. as got to 1.5-2km from tahrir square, they were met by the security forces, using vollies

of tear gas and firing live rounds into the air pushed the protesters back and scattered them. they were on the main road, tar rear street, but scattered down the roads off tahrir streets and the security forces made it difficult for them to regroup. they kept up the pressure on them, firing the tear gas and the live rounds into the air. >> elsewhere two raids - one continent, both targetting accused terrorists. special forces launching separate attacks in libya and somalia - aimed at members al qaeda and al-shabab. secretary of state john kerry said it is sending a message to militants in north africa. >> we hope it makes clear that the united states of america will never stop in its efforts to hold those accountable who conduct acts of terror, and

those members of al qaeda and other terrorist organizations literally can run, but you can't hide. we'll continually try to bring people to justice in an appropriate way. >> meanwhile in somalia a navy seal team launching an operation against a senior leader of al-shabab happening in barawe along the coast. peter greste is in the capital with the details. >> we don't have much information beyond what the u.s. acknowledged - that is that they were involved in the attack on the beach house in the south of somalia. unofficially we had a number of sources confirming it was seal team six the unit responsible for killing osama bin laden in 2011. the target was saleh ali saleh nabhan, the leader of al-shabab.

the americans acknowledge they failed, and one person was killed in the offensive. we understand from al-shabab he was only a relatively junior guard. the fact that al-shabab was able to fight off an elite unit, an elite special forces unit suggests that they were well prepared, they knew in advance that this was coming or they must have anticipated it. it suggests that they are well organised - to fight off that kind of attack takes considerable skill and suggests that al-shabab may not be as weak as commentators suggested. that, combined with the skill and organization behind the westgate offensive suggests that they are something of a threat. we are expecting to see continued operations against al-shabab by the americans and allied forces over the coming weeks and months. >> as we indicated the other raid happened 4,000 miles away in libya. this time a suspected member of the al qaeda was the target.

pentagon confirming the target was abu anas al liby, wanted by the u.s. for more than a decade, with a $5 million bounty on his head. libya is demanding that u.s. provide answers on the capture of that suspect in libya. >> we are joined by jeanne meserve, and what exactly is the u.s. saying about the arrest? >> the pentagon press secretary is saying that abu anas al liby is being lawfully detained under military law at an undisclosed location outside of libya. they are not saying what that location is. right now in washington, democrats are saying democrats and republicans are not agreeing on much. several republican lawmakers have issued statements applauding the operation. collaboration between military organizations. they urge that he be intergated to be exploited fully for what

he might know about the al qaeda network. we received a statement from caitlin hayden, the spokesperson from the security council. she indicates that is the case, and says that the president urged when possible that suspects be taken alive so they can be intergated and that is what they had done to order to elicit valuable intelligence, and bring a dangerous terrorist to justice. where he will be brought to justice is a question. abu anas al liby is under indictment in the u.s. in the district of new york for his involvement in the embassy bombings in 1998. very much a wanted man. he had a $5 million bounty on his head. >> do we know whether the u.s. communicated with their libyan counterparts before this arrest happened? >> there have been reports that the u.s. had communicated with the libyan government.

as you have mentioned the libyan government is saying publicly that there was no communication, that it wants an explanation, and this was a kidnapping of one of its citizens. the u.s. government is not saying publicly anything more about their interactions with the libyan government. privately we don't know what conversations are taking place. >> jeanne meserve joining us live from washington. thank you. >> weapons inspectors have started to destroy syria's chemical weapon stockpiles, the spokespersons not identifying where the weapons were or what was destroyed. they have until the end of the month to disable syria's kepton building facilities. syria is thought to have up to 1,000 tonnes of chemical weapons stored around the country. president bashar al-assad appears to be cooperating with the inspectors. >> imran khan reports on the first day on the job. >> disarmament experts prepare

for a day in the field, removing a chemical weapons arsenal in the middle of the civil war. the organisation for the prohibition of chemical weapons is responsible. it is suggested that bashar al-assad is cooperating and some stockpiles of weapons are now being destroyed. it's difficult to assess how big syria's stockpile of weapons are, and where they are located. a report suggests several of the armed dumps are in active war zones, making the job harder. according to an analyst the mid-2014 deadline for destroying the weapons may not be realistic. >> deck call challenges are to be able to destroy the weapons and the chemical components in a safe and secure way in the middle of a war zone. it's never been done before. u.n. inspectors never had to go in and seize, control and destroy weapons of mass destruction while fighting was

still raging. >> others are skeptical about bashar al-assad's motives for cooperating with the community, suggesting that he could be disposing of his arsenal for political gains. >> he has a bracket around him, protecting him from attack until he delivers on the promises he made on the chemical weapons, and the process of getting another security council resolution through would be so laborious and difficult that bashar al-assad could calculate that the process going into the middle of 2014 could see him coming out on top. >> syria's stockpiling of weapons could be seen as a deterrent attack on israel. on the outskirts of damascus - disposing of chemical weapons is the mission of the international community. >> this may be coming at the cost of negotiations for a long-term political settlement.

the u.n. syrian say it's not certain that the talks will take place in geneva. >> bashar al-assad at the moment is cooperating with the international community. his motives and goals are far from clear. >> iranian authorities arrested four people for trying to sabotage a nuclear plant. the location and the arrest of the sabotage site has not been revealed. it's been suggested that foreign governments are behind the plot and several attempts have been discovered and stopped. iran has been under international sanctions over its suspected nuclear weapons program. >> troops have been killed during a joint military operation, according to a report by the associated press, the attack happening in the kandahar province. the soldiers were killed by a roadside bomb. in case you are counting it is

obama health care lawy, the obamacare that he hates - and this is what ted cruz had to say. >> senate democrats - over and over president obama said he will not negotiate or talk. they won't move an inch. when you have one side compromising and the other isn't. it's not fair to say neither side is negotiating. >> john terrett that was, joining us from washington d.c. the house and senate will be back in business tomorrow. >> secretary of state john kerry is in indonesia, on monday he'll attend a meeting of asian leaders. secretary kerry standing in for president obama who had to cancel his trip to asia because of the government shutdown. >> it's a $50 million grant to build. a new building voted for on the same spot where sandy hook
