>> the life of doha... >> this is the international news hour... >> an informed look on the night's events, a smarter start to your day. mornings on al jazeera america thanks for being with us. this is al jazeera america. i'm thomas drayton in new york. let's get you caught up on the top stories. >> bowe has been gone so long that it's going to be very difficult to come back. >> the father of a freed american soldier talks about the hurdles facing his son. pushback over the swap for sergeant bowe bergdahl. in oorn ukraine our -- eastern ukraine our reporters go depend

the scenes to territory controlled by the separatists. and graduates who can't find a job - the impact can last a lifetime. >> five years is a seemingly endless long time, but you've made it. i imagine you more patient and compagsate than ever, you are free, freedom is yours. i will see you soon, my beloved son. i love you, bowe. >> tonight the family of an american prison are of war is grateful for their son's release. army sergeant bowe bergdahl is free after almost half a decade in the hands of the afghan taliban. he's at an army hospital in south-western germany. doctors are checking his condition and supporting him. allen schauffler is in idaho. bowe bergdahl's family is eager

to have him back on american soil. do we know when that may happen? >> well eager to have him back, of course, and as you can imagine, but we don't know at this point when that will take place. we know he'll be checked out in germany and moved to a medical facility in san francisco texas, and beyond that we don't know about a time line. a colonel who ran a press conference said it will be a decision by the military, and the doctor, and debriefers. when they think it is appropriate for the nouning man to have contact -- young man to have contact with his family. they are excited with the first chance and understanding that he has a long road ahead. they both urged him to take all the time he needed to listen to those he was dealing with and understand that the world uds understands that he has a tough journey in front of him.

here was bob bergdahl talking about his son and the support that he's received over the years. >> we haven't called him on the phone. there's a reason for that. bowe has been gone so long that it's going to be difficult to come back. it's like a diver going deep on a dive and have to stage back up through recompression to get the nitrogen bubbles out of the system. if he comes you too fast it could kill him. bob bergdahl said that he wanted to think everyone that led their support to the cause over the years, to keep the plight of bowe bergdahl in the public eye and for pushing the government to do what they could to release hymn. he -- him. he couldn't thank everybody, it would be millions around the world. >> certainly a time for celebration, how are people

raghting in his -- reacting in his home town to his release. >> hailey, idaho has been behind bowe bergdahl. folks are aware of the controversy surrounding his disappearance five years ago and the deal, the guantanamo prisoner swap. they are aware, and now those that we have spoken to say let's leave it aside, let's reos in the fact that an men citizen, an -- an-american citizen, an american soldier and a son of idaho is out of danger, released by the taliban after five years. they set aside the controversy and appreciate the young man is free. >> allen schauffler, from bowe bergdahl's home state. we should point out that the five detainees are in qatar, including a founding member of the taliban, a former head of the army. they are undergoing medical

tests. these photos were tweeted by a taliban representative, showing the group tweeted. it was brokered by the talibani government assuring the u.s. was not at risk. >> reporter: the taliban leaders are in doha, released in a swap. the foreign minister said the meed yags was humanitarian, stopping short on elaborating on -- mediation was humanitarian, stopping short. >> i thank the humanitarian organise agency, and the details - excuse me for not releasing them - when qatar teaks the role of intermediary it plays that role. >> reporter: the release of the taliban leaders that spent 12 years in afghanistan were in

exchange for bowe bergdahl, who spent five years in capacity in afghanistan. u.s. president obama said national security would be safe guarded. >> we have worked for years to achieve the goal. this week i was able to thank the emir of qatar for his leadership in getting it done. as part of the frt the united states transferred -- frt the united states transferred the detainees. the qatari government gave us assurances that it would put in place measures to protect the national security. congress men have denounced the release of detain as soon as. u.s. defense secretary chuck hagel said the pentagon acted to save bowe bergdahl. >> whether it could lead to possible new breakthroughs with the taliban, i don't know. hopefully it might. but we pursued this effort

specifically to get sergeant bowe bergdahl back. the deal could signal a softening in the taliban's hard line position, and pave the way for talks on the future of afghanistan. >> we don't know at this statement whether the five taliban leaders will be replaced upped restrictions or play a political role. the prisoner swap has been a demand for the taliban to launch talks on afghan considerations. we do want to mention that al jazeera parent company was based in qatar, and financed by the country's government. afghanistan's foreign ministry said the transfer was illegal scprtion should -- and they should be sent to afghanistan. some fear that it will do the opposite. >> while there is a possibility

that the release of these five people may help the future peace process, and that they may become elements and, you know, go between in the peace process. at the same time, probable a greater risk is that they may join the taliban against the afghan government. earlier we spoke with frank goldsmith, an attorney for khairullah khairkhwa, and was happy about his client's release. >> oath it was a long time -- i think it was a long time coming. my client has been incarcerated without charges being brought against him, nef accused of lifting -- never accused of lifting a finger against the americans or charged with a violation of the law. it's reprehensible. my client is not a danger to anyone. let me say this. i'm constrained about the facts of this case because as you

probably know, the evidence in the case is classified. the unclassified evidence in this case included a letter from the afghan high peace council, asking for his run to afghanistan, because he was viewed as a moderate person skilled in mediating conflicts among groups. that was supplemented by the president himself, president hamid karzai. >> goeld smith's the afghan government asked for khairullah khairkhwa's release in 2011. he repeated that his client posed no threat. >> the rehabilitation from washington is mixed. is number of law-makers are criticising the transfer of taliban prisoners. randall pinkston has more. >> news of brg's -- bowe

bergdahl's release was marred in controversy with the release of five taliban prisoners. john mccain, a former p.o.w., thinks that the detainees pose a threat to u.s. security. >> it is disturbing that these individuals would have the ability to re-enter the fight. they are big, high-level people, possibility responsible for the deaths of thousands. mike rogers worries that the administration may be setting a dangerous press department. >> we are --% dent. >> -- precedent. we have set a price, we have a notion now if i get one, i can get five taliban released. >> reporter: rogers and others accused the obama administration of blacking the law, failing to notify congress 30 days in vaeps. >> the reason congress is involved by how in these

decisions prior to the notification, it's to keep them informed. you don't want to talk to each other about something as sensitive as this. chuck hagel said the deal was necessary to save bowe bergdahl said life. hagel says he was in failing health, and negotiations required quick, quiet action. >> this was an operation, as everywhere recognises that had to be very closely held. only very, very few people knew about this operation. we did not want to gepp dis any leaks b jeopardise any leaks. national security advisor susan rice said the rescue was an urgent matter, permitting the administration to make the swap without notifying congress. >> we have reason to be don certained this was urgent and

acute, that his life could have been at rec. we didn't have 30 days to wait. and had we waited and lost him. i don't think anyone would have forgiven the united states government. >> the administration's focus is on the health and well being of brg. >> for more on the racked out of the washington -- rehabilitation out of washington we spoke with brigadier general kimmitt. he told us the berg case -- bowe bergdahl case could set a troubling press dent. >> we have to recognise that it's a good day that bowe bergdahl is back. but there is questions about whether this sets a precedent for an enemy understanding you capture an american soldier and rather than kill them, you trade them for five detainees. we did this a number of times before, with the hostages, and

in somalia we saw the return of the pilot in black hawk down was done with negotiations of terrorists. this is not new, and hopefully is something that is done on a limited basis. retired brigadier general mark kimmitt speaking with us. stay with al jazeera for continuing coverage of army sergeant's bowe bergdahl release. seven died when a private plane crashed outside boston. lewis cats, a cohener of the philadelphia inquirer is among the dead. two were returning from a fund raidser from a writer's home. transportation safety workers are determining how the accident happened. >> there was a significant post-crash fire. the aircraft entered - it went down an embank. into a gully with water. that's where it came to rest. it's making the initial

examination process difficult. >> the crash took place after 9:30 in the town of bedford. nearby residents said they felt a fireball. a deadly shooting in brussels - a man was rafted. police were -- arrested. police were tipped off because he was carrying two guns, one similar to the weapon used in the shooting. he's being held by anti-terrorism investigators, it's believed he joined terrorists before return from syria to europe. >> we draw attention once nor to the problem of returnees. people going to syria, to participate and combat and returning after wars to our country. >> three were killed after a man opened fire inside the jewish museum and fled. next - a deteriorating situation in ukraine.

we take you to ukraine where the government is vowing to fight pro-russian separatists until order is restored. rebels have taken over administrative and police buildings. international mop tors a -- monitors say conditions in the region are getting more dangerous by the day. >> driving east towards the border you pass through checkpoints manned by cossacks. most of them are former minors, but their ranks have been reinforced from as far afield as kazakhize stan. in this region, the second of mon tours from the organization of security disappeared on thursday. the garth are vigilant. on the road side we passed two

men forced on to the ground. >> separatist fighters placed an armed guard in the van. the main role is different. it's a transport hub for helpons, ammunition and volunteers moving across the border. hundreds of fighters have used the route offer the last few weeks as these pictures testify. we are asked a local cossack commander as they go forward into an area ambushed by the army. we asked if we could film in the town. he politely told us we could end up shot. whoever what is in charge, it wasn't him. we were asked to sample the traditional cossack hospitality. it's not an invitation you can

refuse. we talk beside the fighting. we have been sharing a meal with cossacks manning the roadblocks. we were told there were minister, polish and women, snipers from the ukraine jan. >> translation: here it is written in ukranian. we do not want to separate the country. we are not separatists. the government divides the country. at the latest rally in donetsk the loudest cheers were there to honour those killed when it was announced the bodies of 33 fighters had been repatriated to homelands in russia. >> thank you to russia. >> moscow's troops may withdraw from ukraine's border, but volunteers from throughout the soviet union rally to the cause of defending the self-declared republic. ukraine is expected to be a main topic at the g7 summit.

the outcome. london's shepherd's bush is a long way from war-torn syria. among the ex-pats, many with family at home, the war is strongly felt and the coming election feels a long way from peace. >> reporter: what do you believe is the forward for your country? >> ensure everything is good. if the syrian government gets bashar al-assad to go away. >> reporter: if that happens in your country, will you and your family go home? >> yes, why not. it's my country, i love it. >> there's no challenge. there's no chance for any other to be the president. this man did not want to be identified. on his phone he keeps pictures of his family in syria. >> i have a picture of my

father. he is 70 years old. my nephews and niece, sister. >> reporter: you don't want to show us the pictures of your family. why is that? >> a picture shows, and they will follow who are they, and what the relation between me and them will be heard. >> reporter: do you as a syrian abroad, living in britain, have a wider assistance of what is going on in syria? >> it's like a game between great countries. u.s. a, iran, russia, and let's say it's from britain. >> if there is support from the government from syrians abroad. it's hidden. >> i don't know what to describe as. it's a jock. elections -- jobing. elections. i want bashar al-assad first to control the country. first to stop the killer. to charge them for what they

did. bashar al-assad, he, himself should be charged from using chemicals, destroying the country. >> this week's election is not the solution many hope for. now to libya where an army official says three militia were hit in air strikes. the strikes were ordered by khalifa haftar, pushing back against hard-line militias. >> reporter: the message from former general khalifa haftar is clear. he'll continue in his operation to rid libya of terrorists. three air strikes in benghazi on sunday have not caused much damage on the ground. both groups, february 17th and the group that he targeted say they didn't suffer casualties, so it hasn't changed anything on the ground. certainly he does have a lot of support in terms of his message

when it comes to people here that feel that libya became unstable, the most dangerous that it's been. they believe in his message to reign in the extremist groups and get a form of stag imenty. it comes at a time when it is polarizing. there's two prime ministers, and governments. the former general doesn't believe in the g.n.c., the acting parliament and prime minister, one that was lcted under controversial circumstances. it's a difficult situation, and libyans tell you it's impossible to predict how everything will play out. stefanie dekker reporting. in egypt three of our al jazeera colleagues were in court. gam have been -- peter greste, mohamed fadel fahmy and baher mohamed have been interiftened for 156 -- imprisoned for 156 days, accused of conspiring with outlawed muslim

brotherhood. al jazeera rejects the charges and demands their release. >> reporter: as the defendants stood in the dock the lawyers had the first chance to challenge the offed of prosecution witnesses that cross examined three members of a technical committee, appointed to assess material. the head of the committee admitted he was with police officers when he arrested peter greste, and producer mohamed fadel fahmy. that led the lawyer to question how he could be described as an independent witness. a member of the technical panel was challenged to identify a single report edited to show the muslim brotherhood in a positive light. he applied "i can't remember." the lawyers pointed to the fact that written statements by prosecution witnesses were identical, word for word. their submission in court contradicted them. this court case is part of the brode media crackdown in egypt.

veronica pedrosa has more. >> reporter: thailand's military rulers responded to the threat of protest. but what is clear is protesters are determined to seize the initiative, make their own rules and run rings around the police and army. everyone thought there would be demonstrations at this main intersection. the airways sealed off. trains didn't stop at stations. it was a peace of pre-emptive crowd control, confirming the zero tolerance that thai rulers have taken. word came in through social media saying "see you at terminal 21", that's a shopping mall in a different area. troops and police moved in. fire power included a hum very. everything looked normal. this clearly was not the traditional mass protest that

bangkok saw so much of over the past six months. this was protests flash mob style. perfectly ordinarily people would suddenly hold up pieces of paper. some blank. they'd shout for elections and pop up in different parts of the area. >> the police had to block this entrance into a well-known shopping zone in parts of bonk cock because of the cat and mouse game being played with protesters. press and troops had to chase around the place when they heard shouts or chanting. they started playing marshall anthems on loud speakers, perhaps trying to counter the anti-coup songs sung by demonstrators. all this is in violation of the firm crackdown on protests ordered by the military. a handful of protesters didn't

care. >> i'm not afraid of being arrested. my rights are mine. why do i have to be afraid. i'm being robbed. instead of helping me. they protect the thesis and work with -- thieves and work with them whose rites have been stolen. >> it was look a thai saying - riding an elephant to catch a grass hopper. this week marks 25 years since one of the bloodiest event in china's history, and the chinese government doesn't want anyone talking about if. in 1989 chinese forces attacked civilians in ty arna men square. since then china banned all forms of discussions or remembrances of the event. in the run-up to the anniversary china is censoring content on international media and several academics have been arrested who attended a seminar on the

diploma. we need to reduce student debt by investing. making sure that that is not holding them back. >> there are some people holding back, young adult. is that having an impact on the workforce. >> absolutely. the federal reserve has done a lot of research. if you have 1.2 million, it's putting a drag on the economy. >> where are the opportunities for young adults in the workforce. >> they are limited. that's a problem that we are seeing. there's not as many good jobs out there as there used to be. young people are stuck. they are often part time when they want to work full-time. >> this is your job, rory, focussing on the issues. what would you tell the young adult who is watching this, who is frustrated. >> it was the right decision.
