they were surrounded so they killed him. >> reporter: according to media reports the hostages were wounded but alive when they were evacuated on an osprey like this, one died in route and the other died on an operateing table and u.s. officials are defending the operation. >> luke somers was murdered. he was taken hostage. his life was clearly in danger. >> reporter: u.s. officials reportedly believed somers was going to be killed by captors in hours and al-qaeda said he would be executed and the family had this plea. >> he made yemen his home and doing good things for the population. >> reporter: he was a freelance photo journalist and his view of yemen, pictures filed for al jazeera, he had been held hostage for the last 15 months and corkie since may of last

year and the group close to securing his release had this reaction. >> i'm not blaming them because americans have their own hostages. >> reporter: president obama has ordered a review of how the u.s. deals with hostages but he has ruled out changing the policy the u.s. does not pay ran some and expect there will be more operations like this despite the outcome. >> this needs to continue and they need to know if they are going to be in this business of murder that there is going to be consequences. >> reporter: consequences and risk that u.s. officials believe are worth taking. patty with al jazeera, washington. despite some successful missions there have been several other failed attempts carried out by the u.s. military, 80 jimmy carter had eagle claw to rescue 52 diplomates held hostage in iran but a transport helicopter crashed and that operation was then aborted. in 2010 u.s. special forces

tried to rescue linda kidnapped in afghanistan and she was killed by investigation found it was by a grenade thrown by one of the people trying to rescue her, in 2011 the missile was sent to rescue americans by somali pie rits and they discovered they were already dead and a secret mission tried to free foley and he was later killed by fighters of islamic state of iraq and lavent and this is from chris the former lead international hostage negotiator for the fbi and tells us what happens behind the scenes of a u.s. rescue mission. >> in the past they said they were going to release a hostage then when the moment came to release the hostage they amended it and said well we agreed to release their head and use it as an execution for execution. as long as hostages are in the

hands of terrorists, and murders who have the opportunity to murder them at any time, you can't take the promise that they will be released at its face value especially while there is another promise to murder someone else at the same time. so you have to go with the threat to kill and if they are intending to kill someone on a specific timeframe, there is always a possibility that the violence will escalate and the hostages will be killed anyway. so it's very difficult to hold off a rescue mission because someone might be let go when you are fairly certain someone will be killed. a lot of successful rescues but call it deadly force for a reason. there is always the opportunity for things to go wrong when they murder hostages instead of protecting themselves and unfortunately there are great risks when they go out but the chances of a successful rescue are in favor of the rescuers. >> reporter: now typhoon hit the east of the philippines and

600,000 left their home and military on alert and those stay behind risk strong winds and storm surges and andrew is in manila. >> reporter: homes like these stand between some people left here and a powerful typhoon. the city was badly hit by a powerful cyclone and storm surge only last year. now typhoon with sustained winds of 175 kilometers an hour is headed their way. hundreds of thousands of people have left the most vulnerable areas. many of them are crammed in temporary shelters. >> translator: they told us the waves will get bigger and worried like what happened in tacloban last year. >> reporter: others trying to get the last of their valuables together before the typhoon makes landfall where they are. >> translator: we are afraid of

the typhoon but we have to pack belongings before we league. >> reporter: it's weakened from a super storm but still incredibly strong and unpredictable. it has potential to create high waves like typhoon hyan did last year when it killed 7,000 people and people in the low-lying costal areas like these are again the most vulnerable. if this cyclone stays on the current path and current speed it will take three days to completely clear the philippines and effect half of this country's population. it won't reach manila until monday where there could be serious flooding even here in the capitol, andrew thomas, al jazeera, manila. the first lady grace is now the head of the women's league of her political party. her appointment was confirmed at the pf party congress and the new position is the latest with

swift rights to power and it began when she and roberted started an affair in the 80s and many people disapproved mainly because his popular wife was terminally ill at the time and built a dairy business and owned several farms and founded an orphanage and they criticize her spending which continued as the economy plummeted and on her 49th birthday she went into politics with no experience and attacks on the vice president. and we are there and she explains why grace's appointment is so important. >> reporter: grace is ahead of the women's league, that is a very powerful position here in zimbabwai and most members are women with decision making and policy making policies and means the policies of the party ultimately become the policies of the country and her husband

is president and first secretary-general. and this means they are in control and a husband and wife team and they are happy and those who don't are very worried and say this could mean the same policy we see over and over again and explained for the demise of the economy. we will know later who the deputy will be and the party will be justice minister and if all goes well and the rights of the president he could be the next leaderen and should he one day step down. >> reporter: international criminal courts decision to drop charges against kenya president has mixed reactions and he and his supporters it's vindication he wasn't involved in the violence of the 2012 election but 1200 people killed and families it left them more uncertainty and erica wood now reports. >> reporter: we can't tell you who they are because these people are afraid and say they could be attack if they talk

about what happened during the violence that followed contested elections. this mother tells us her husband was killed when men from the president tribe slashed him with knives and through him and others in a swamp of sewage and never saw him again. >> translator: it pains me to be here. i avoid this place as much as possible because his body is still underneath and it hasn't been retrieved. >> reporter: she says governmental authorities have never made any effort to find out who was behind the violence and she is not sure who is to blame but this man whose voice revolted have no doubt who chased him out of his home and left everything behind and never went back. >> there is no doubt and aware we have the business tycoons here who are involved. >> reporter: and accused of organizing and financing violence and tensions between

tribes and always denied the accusations, the international criminal courts case against him was plagued by allegation of witness bribery and intimidation and many retracted their testimony and others went missing or suspected to be killed and icc itself has been accused of not carrying out a proper investigation. >> it's impossible to prosecute the head of state whether you want to believe that or not is up to you but it is impossible. you would be a fool to give evidence ahead of the state of your own country, nobody would do that. >> reporter: more than 1200 people lost their lives in the weeks that followed the disputed elections in december 2007. thousands more were raped, displaced or wounded. on this street in this town many people died. the victims say there has been no political will to investigate crimes internally and the icc case against him failed they may not get justice externally

now, hundreds of yemen protestifying against the presence of houthi gunman in the capitol. the demonstrations are also -- demonstrators are angry about attempts to absorb houthis in the army and security forces and protesters marched on a region and currently controlled by rebels. extra one thousand u.s. troops will stay in afghanistan next year to cover a shortfall in nato force, u.s. defense secretary chuck hagel made the announcement on unexpected visit to kabul and brings the soldiers there to nearly 11,000. it's his last visit to afghanistan as defense secretary after he announced resignation last month and we have more from kabul. >> reporter: outgoing u.s. defense secretary here in kabul announcing additional 1,000 troop also remain in the country into 2015, that is in addition to 9800 that were part of the security agreement between washington and the afghan government. their mission here is to aid

afghan security forces in their missions against the taliban in addition to training and going after what they describe as terror cells which we understand to mean al-qaeda groups. now this comes at a very important time in terms of transition here in afghanistan in terms of the government. the new government in london two days ago telling international donors it would go ahead with promised reforms it will deliver to the country in terms of hitting corruption, in terms of institution building and in terms of its economy. now, it's understood here that those reforms and those promises are dependent on the security situation here and fascinating military and politically here in afghanistan. pakistan military killed a senior al-qaeda commander accused by the u.s. of plotting to bomb new york subway. and he was killed in a raid in

pakistan in the tribe area according to an army statement. u.s. prosecutors say he recruited and trained men in 2008 for attacks in new york and london, both of which were foiled. he was considered the chief of al-qaeda operations and once held by mohamed and shariff is at the royal united service institute and is live from london and thank you for speaking to us, how much of a blow has this dealt al-qaeda? >> it's huge, effectively he was number two in the organization, the leadership which is now with lahiri and effectively goes through him and all operations are coordinated through him. in many ways he is the primary window for the outside world so he is a very significant king pin in the whole organization. >> reporter: what does it tell us about the effectiveness of

the pakistani military when it comes to cracking down on the al-qaeda elements within the country given their priorities have been questioned on this in the past? >> well, this is significant in that this is probably one of the first few examples of a senior commander being killed by the pakistanis. most of them particularly most of the operational commanders have been killed or captured primarily with u.s. either u.s. direct involvement or indirect involvement of the u.s. and this seems to have been very much a pakistani led operation and successful operation. they killed not just him, they also killed one of his aids and have captured three or four others which obviously provides a great deal of intelligence possibilities for unlocking and capturing other key individuals and possibly getting to him

himself. >> reporter: of course this operation took place in the south region in pakistan which has been considered a sanctuary for al-qaeda and the taliban. what needs to change in terms of policy whether it's government policy or indeed military policy in pakistan to stop this area from being the haven that it has been? >> well, that's going to be very difficult. you see that area has always be been federally administered but managed locally right from the setting up of pakistan. it was always said the people or the tribal people would live under their own tribal laws, they would just have some federal administration. and so the pakistan army has limited influence and capability to pakistan government has

limited influence and capability in that region and the policy has always been called and occasionally we have these very determined drives by the pakistan army into these areas but they often fizzle out and are able to survive and redeploy. in this case it's interesting because the general who tweeted the capture of the al-qaeda commander also subsequently tweeted the fact that the chief of the general staff had declared that this was going to be the first of many and that this would not be a safe haven for terrorists. so it will be interesting to see if this was just a rhetorical statement or represent a strategic push to get rid of al-qaeda and other militants in the region and we can only wait and see what happens.

>> reporter: from the royal united services institute in london, thank you. now, the syrian based al-qaeda linked battle group el nusra and it was captured with an attack on the border of lebanon and we report from beirut threatening to kill all the hostages if their demands are not met. >> reporter: the death is the lowest point since this hostage crisis began in august and he was one of several dozen members of the lebanese security forces being held by al-nusra front and i.s,i.l.. they were captured by the syrian-based fighters during a raid on the border here. for months desperate relatives of hostages have been protesting in the capitol. when the news broke of the latest killing, they shut down the roads. and he is afraid his brother will be next.

>> translator: i have been suffering in the streets and receiving threats that my brother will be killed and who should be held responsible and who to blame, there is only god and seriously we reached the end. >> reporter: in the past the police moved families on but saturday they let them protest. there is a growing sense of urgency in beirut right now. the families of those being held captive say they are regularly contacted by the groups holding their loved ones telling them they will be killed if the government doesn't give in to their demands. among those demands is their release of rebel leaders family members, the lebanese government recently announced it detained to women and children related to fighters with al-nusra and i.s,i.l.. it was hopped they could be used as a bargaining chip to free the captured soldiers and one of those women is the wife here, a senior al-nusra commander and

released this video on friday morning calling for her release and that of his two children. the family of the killed hostage has set up checkpoints around their village threatening anyone linked to the syrian groups and further heightening tensions at an already uneasy time, jane ferguson, al jazeera, beirut. meanwhile inside syria heavy fighting in the city where the rebellion against bashar a al-assad began four years agree ago and unsiege from government forces. >> reporter: this is the aftermath of an air strike. inside the car the victim of the bombing. the men hurry to get him out but he is already dead. this city is where the rebellion against president assad began and in the fourth year of combat the fighting is relentless.

close relations with bahrain and another example of our growing partnership with gulf allies to tackle the threats we face together. terrorists group like al-qaeda are not the only terrorists that we face. state sponsored terrorism is also a problem. the prime example of this is hezbollah and a terrorist organization that receives significant state backing and has recently expanded into syria. >> reporter: the base will be built next to existing one of the american which the british is using for patrols and will pay the $23 million construction cost of a port big enough to take britain's largest ships including the new aircraft carrier queen elizabeth and not until 2020 and it's not without controversy and protests by members of the shia population

her husband the president remains the army ps party chief. now in other news thousands of people gathered in athens to remember the killing of a teenager by police six years ago. alexander was shot dead after a confrontation with police. his death caused the worst riots in greece for decades and saturday's rally started off peacefully but some fighting between demonstrators and police and john is live for us in athens, john, tell us more about how people are feeling there and why it's important for them to turn out to mark the death of the teenager six years ago. >> well, it was a sizable and peaceful demonstration this morning beginning at noon local time in which we estimated at least 15,000 people took part, people of all ages, even a few children and certainly elderly people, not just the younger crowd that you see fighting with police on the streets of athens tonight. for them the symbolism of the killing is that of youth

standing up to authority but particularly the youth that is enrolled in universities because here in greece especially during the crisis the access to free unfeathered access to free university studies is a major issue as the economic crunch on the government's part has led to more and more cuts and higher and middle education. so this for them is a moment in which to press their case. but tonight the streets of athens are revealing a proper, full fledged urban battle with police as extreme elements of the morning march waited for their moment and waited for the cover of darkness and trading molotov cocktails and tear gas with police. >> reporter: right so certainly some political elements there taking advantage of the protest to have their voices heard. you said there is a real gorilla element there, tell us more about what we can expect in the

coming hours and how police are preparing for the possibility of more violence. >> well, police have been preparing for this day for a long time. there are very, very large numbers of police on the streets of athens, the battle now is taking place in the neighborhood here which is traditionally a stronghold of the antiauthoritarian lefters and movements in athens, that is where the violence is usually centered especially on this anniversary. and what is particularly worrying to police is that some of these young people are trying to jump a very tall fence into the campers of the athens polytechnic traditionally a center of operations as sort of a safe area from which they operate and back in december of 2008 when these riots began they broke up masonry and took refuge

of possibility of arrest because at that time there was a status of asylum for university campuses and police could not answer so this is iconic campus for them and where they are trying now to gain access and obviously to occupy the space so that it will then be very difficult to disengage them. >> reporter: thanks very much, john bringing us all the latest from athens. now, in northern iraq thousands in need of urgent humanitarian aid, many are still trapped on a mountain after fleeing i.s,i.l. in the summer and with winter starting they are becoming more desperate and sue reports from the iraq/syria border. >> reporter: cold and hungry and most of all desperate to get off the mountain and the families fled the fighting in the summer and now living in tents further up the mountain with dwindling food supplies.

there is only so much hope that can bring and for some it's a hard decision. this mother escaped with two of her children, leaving three behind. we are told this woman escaped from i.s,i.l. fighters. the flight off the mountain is risky. with i.s,i.l. routinely firing on the helicopters as they leave. the commander and the local persmerga general have come down to report back to the kurdish president. >> translator: every hour that passes is crucial. it's urgent. i'm very worried about the civilians in a dire situation. >> translator: asking the international coalition and particularly the u.s. and also everyone who cares about this injustice to help because winter is coming and my people are desperate. >> reporter: the general says a joint force of volunteer fighters and kurdish soldiers are protecting as many as 10,000

people. and he and his family escaped but they fear for those left behind. >> translator: our people need clothes because they are freezing and food because a thousand families are trapped. this is urgent. we need to get people off because the weather is freezing. >> reporter: with the weather still good the helicopters load up again. making as many flights a day as possible and take as much aid as possible on to the sinjar mountain and evacuate people off the mountain and it will be so much quicker if they had larger transport planes. without coalition help little chance all can escape the cold and the pershmerga and iraqi

than to be here. so i had no voice. i had nobody to talk to. and i just felt, well, i just have to go along with the things she says. >> reporter: here in central london police officers and leaders of the catholic church from around the world have come together to discuss the growing problem of 21st century slavery. according to the british government in this country alone there are more than 10,000 victims of illegal trafficking, they include sex slaves and abused domestic workers and labors. british police had successes. this is a raid on suspected russian traffickers but this trade-in human misery is very difficult to stamp out, this former policewoman has a shelter for female victims of trafficking and says the criminals are ruthless and those who control prostitutes make big profits. >> if your commodity is a person

they can make money a long time and i have known females trafficked to this country that can makeup to $50,000 in three months then they can carry on making you that amount of money. so it may cost you 800 pounds or $1200 to bring them to the country on a flight and they will make you $50,000 in the next three months. >> reporter: victims of human trafficking often feel isolated and frightened and the conference in london could be a first step towards changing that. >> pursue criminals and punish them going to prison so it's about changing the balance but at the moment victims are reluctant to come forward, and sometimes not properly supported and actually then the criminals get away with it. >> reporter: these women have been trafficked to the uk and forced to work as prostitutes. the british police cannot solve this problem alone because this is an international criminal trade. the ugly side of globalization, i'm with al jazeera. vincent nicoles is at the

conference and head of the catholic church in uk and our correspondent harry smith spoke to him. >> this conference here in london takes place after an earlier two-day meeting this year in the vatican when pope francis described human trafficking as an open wound on the body of society. now, one of the leading figures at this conference in london is cardinal vincent nicoles and first of all how wide a problem is this globally? >> it's a huge problem globally and some people were saying it's the problem. it's the second most profitable crime in the world after the arms trade. and it's almost impossible to have a number of people who have been caught in human trafficking. we know for example that there are 52 million displaced people in the world and many of them reach out to any possibility and not easily deceived and led into modern slavery. >> what do you think this conference has achieved if anything? >> well, this conference achieves more than anything else

is bringing desperate protagonists together whether it's the police or the church or whether it's other civic agencies or the diplomatic community, we are all here with this conference with a shared ambition to work together to tackle human trafficking. >> thank you very much indeed and clearly this conference has given them a lot to think about and highlighted how much is still to be done. >> reporter: myanmar where muslims continue to leave the country in search of a better life and we report from there where many begin their journey out of the country. >> reporter: the village in brussels as the morning catch is brought in. fishing sustains many families around here. it's one of the few industry in which the ethnic minority of the myanmar government does not

recognize and can still find jobs. about 140,000 are still displaced after violence broke out between the muslim and buddhist in 2012. they are now confined to camps and villages around the state with no freedom of movement. and the only way to provide for his family is leave the country he says. >> translator: i do not want to stay here anymore. i can't feed my children. my children are always asking for food. >> translator: i know the journey is risky but i leave it to alla. >> reporter: he bought an illegal passage out and will sail to neighbori ining tyland this fishing boat which normally holds ten fishermen and crew

will have between 50-60 people on board and the men on deck and the women and children squeeze in the cargo hole. there is no high-tech navigation equipment and if the journey takes longer than expected they could run out of food and water. despite the risks more people are making these trips. they usually approach a boat owner and pay him a fee of $100 u.s. dollars to take them and bypass the big human trafficking rings. it's cheaper but risky because the vessels are less sea worthy and passengers could still end up in traffickers hands when they arrive at destination but it has spawned an industry of sorts and he arranged for sister and dozens of others to leave. >> translator: i connected boat owners and not doing it for the money, i'm just helping her. >> reporter: off camera he admits he gets paid for acting

as a go between. the boats depart from the quiet beaches and only at night. the owners say they usually bribe the myanmar navy to allow them to slip away and with the monsoon season ending they will go on a journey to escape a country that doesn't want them. up next, we will have all the sport and a rough season for red bull and missed on the 41 title and the trophys have gone missing and we will have all the details. ♪
