>> reporter: we, it's so interesting. the speaker of the house could allow the bill to go forward on the floor and vote on a clean spending bill. no de funding of obamacare or anything else. just federal spending bill to get the government reopened. he said he doesn't have the vote. the democrats disagree. the white house disagree. members of the white house were on twitter saying they don't buy that at all. speaker boehner holds the house for allowing the vote and for political reasons it would be hard for him to go forward. that would deflate the balloon that they've launched here. speaker boehner has a line of

choices with his tea party group, the caucus, the conservative in the house. if he were to allow the vote to go forward it would deflate that and potentially harm his speakership. we're not seeing any movement there either. >> thousands of government workers went back to work, thousands are still off the job, this has got to be devastating. >> reporter: we see those who are partners of defense civilians who are allowing to back to work but so many others who are not allowed back on the congresclock. even for workers who are affected b by furloughs get back pay, they would not get it until they went back to work. and the irony, republicans who are at the heart of it, who complain about the federal government and workers not doing enough, they're going to be paying federal workers now to stay home and not work.

so a lot of irony here and a lot of frustration for those who work for the government. >> libby casey joining us live from washington dc. two raids went forward one in somalia, which did not go the way expected but the one in libya captured an al-qaeda leader. it is cleveland he is behind the 1998 embassy bombing in kenya that left 128 people dead. >> this is where his family, where the operation captured him. >> masked men came out of the car but the driver was not masked, and one of them was adjusting his mask as he was coming out. from their features they were

obviously libyan. they were all armed with silence weapons. they have broken the window on my husband's car and it seemed that they had drug him. >> reporter: he has been wanted for 15 years by the fbi. by the way with which he has been detained has angered libyan government who wants to know about he's whereabouts. secretary of state john kerry spoke about the operation. >> it was a legal operation force. >> reporter: ihe is responsible for attacks in 1998 where 200 people were killed. his brother said he deserves to be tried at home.

>> this is the work of piratcy n foreign trips to kidnap my brother. they were supposed to present legal documents. my brother should be tried here in libya. >> reporter: instead, he is seized by u.s. command dose and is reportedly being interrogated on an u.s. naval ship. >> that other raid in somalia where u.s. forces were looking for leaders of al-shabaab. that leader is expected to be responsible for the attacks in kenya. they withdrew $4,000 trying to buy a car to drive to the westgate mall. that car was found later found at the entrance of the mall al-shabaab is claiming responsibility for that attack in kenya, an we take a look at e challenges somalia changes in

rooting al-shabab. >> reporter: this is the tip of somalia against al-shabab. they snap to attention on parade. these men have had a checkered history at times fighting with the government, sometimes with al-shabab. for now they are the government's defense in the south. serving along kenyan forces to drive al-shabab out of their hometown a year ago. the kenyan troops have been confined to ski installations like the airport. they have the equipment to hold them back but they don't have the knowledge to complete the complex task of managing internal security. that is the heart of the president bush. >> --the heart of the problem. >> the only solution, the best solution is to support somali

government so we can take care of our internal security and fight al-shabab. >> somalia is style trying to kerecover from two decades of w. it is easy for al-shabab to move about undetected. they're trying to control the town, but we were warned that members of the islamist group are everywhere. unsurprisingly the security services say the solution to defeating al-shabab is to give them the training, the capacity, the equipment so they can take on the enemy. they say that they are the ones who know the language, that understand the culture that really understand what they're dealing with. but they have a reputation for discipline. they say things here are not

perfect but there is a solution. >> we can do this job. we can fight the enemy. the biggest problem that we have is that we don't get help from the outside. it's important for them to understand that they can't beat al-shabab if they don't work with us, the somalis. >> reporter: so the somali government international sponsors face a difficult choice, turn away from the local militias and give their military resource tots african union, leaving the state weakened or create a fighting force out of men with questionable loyalties. al jazeera, somalia. >> not long ago, secretary of state john kerry and russian foreign minister were at odds over the syrian war. now kerr why is praising assad. a sued blast and explosion

that left four dead. earlier there were funerals from clashes that violence that stretched late into sunday night. ouour correspondent in cairo, wo we do not name for security reasons. >> the protesters that led mars on friday, they call themselves the anti-coup alliance against the rule in egypt, they're saying they're going to start ratcheting up the protests. they're going to he will us that there are going to be more protests over the coming days. we're expecting to see more on the streets in the next few days. but quieter today so far. >> filling in for president

barack obama, mr. kerry adding the shutdown back home was, quote, a moment in politics, al jazeera has more from bally. >> reporter: as the apec summit began in bali all focus that president barack obama was not here. but that came out of news side line that secretary of state john kerry and his russian counterpart said they were both a happy with the progress going on in syria, and kerry said he had the most productive meeting with his counterpart when it came to syria. i spoke with one diplomat from singapore said the fact that president obama is not here sends a bad message to the partners in the region. another speech that came up that would have been delivered by president obama was the

trans-atlantitrans-pacific parta peace treaty that they want to push through by the end of the year. many say that will be difficult because of the lost time at the meeting because president obama was not here. with we've heard from leaders from russia, china, and if the trans-pacific partnership will be able to be moved forward despite president obama was not here and the side line meetings that we spoke about fro about s. >> secretary john kerry said it's understandable that president obama was a no show saying he would have done the same. jennifer glass reports. >> reporter: they say the coo cooking business was not good under the taliban. he remembers the day the war

started and he hoped for change. >> we didn't have any facilities. then there were no roads. there were no security and no buildings under construction. no businesses. no industry compared with then it's 100% better. >> reporter: he now ships cookies all over the country. something he couldn't dream of 12 years ago. then the streets were policed by taliban vice squads. now filled with shoppers and businesses. it's clear that this city is flourishing but many here wonder how long it can last. 12 years after the united states came no afghanistan, their biggest concern isn't freedom. it's security. the new prosperity has brought crime, notebly against the wealthy in the form of kidnapping. but the taliban is not a major threat in the city. women are not only out on the streets but in schools. that wasn't the case 12 years ago. this teacher spent most of

her high school years studying in secret. >> i remember the taliban. we were at home. we did nothing. >> reporter: she was six years old when she had a run in with the taliban. she went to the local shop for candy. the taliban objected. >> they're having their guns to mme saying what are you doing here? you are a girl. what are you doing here? go home. >> reporter: under the taliban virtually no girls went to school. there are about 4.3 million enrolled today. 41% of the student population. more than 5.5 million afghan refugees have come home. it is mainly peaceful here near the border of iran there is still fighting across the country in afghanistan east and south. afghan attacks charge of security and they have put power back in the hands of the afghan
