>> translation: we are the defenders of the prophet. i cherif kouachi was sent by al qaeda in yemen. i went to yemen, and they financed me. >> reporter: it was a few days ago that the police denied that these attacks were a coordinated effort. it's clear that planning did take place, and the prime minister admitted there has been a failure of intelligence. police are hunting hayat boumeddiene, the part near of amedy coulibaly, the supermarket attacker. she has vital information. the paris prosecutor revealed the extent of communications between the group. >> translation: the wife of cherif kouachi made 500 calls to hassan abboud last -- to hayat boumeddiene last year so they were in constant communication. >> al qaeda in yemen praised the

>> well potentially a great deal. here is the reason why. it's not clear to us yet whether the individuals were a part of app organization and executing orders given by the organization, or whether the individuals were people that travelled to syria and yemen to gain the training they needed to take on their own operations. it's not clear if they are part of a terrorist syndicate or acting on their own. >> that's the intelligence loss that we face. >> you said you are not sure if they are part of an organization. one of the brothers received weapons training in yemen from al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. does this fit that organization's m ox. -- mo. >> it does and it doesn't.

we were in yemen at the same time. one of things i learnt about people going into and out of training camps is that some individuals come in gape the training and -- gain the training and go somewhere else to execute their own missions. not everyone jones the organization. it's like going to university to get trained up and going out to take a job. others would come in join the organization and fight with them against the yemeni government. we don't know which modality we are dealing with. either is a strong possibility. he was, indeed in yemen. there's evidence that the brothers travelled to syria. >> you are saying you were in yemen at the same time as said kouachi was there. >> that's right. >> was i.s.i.l. with them stealing the lime light, if this is related to them is this the way for al qaeda to get back into the game get attention back to their cause?

>> yes, definitely. that's part of the reasons why spokesmen for al qaeda in arabian peninsula take credit. they have strong interests in doing so whether it was someone regardless of the organization or someone that joined them temporarily. you have two al qaeda successor organizations, i.s.i.s. in the lavant and a.q.a.p. the two have different visions of the future coming from different branches. former al qaeda organization and are competitors. they have the same ideology and are competitors with one other. to the extent they can take credit, that puts them in a better standing vis-a-vis the jihadi movement and helps to steal the limelight back from i.s.i.s. >> give me the nuts and boltsment the french prime minister suggested that intelligence officials dropped the ball.

given that the guys trained in yemen and were on the radar of the and french officials, was there a security lapse? >> you know it's hard for me to say. i don't have the benefit of being on the inside of whatever discussions the french security may have had over time. when i was in yemen interviewing people going into and coming out of the training camps, individuals specifically identified french nationals of algerian dissent among those training with them in the camp particularly in a camp in afghanistanion province -- avion province. tracking the foreign fighters as they go from the middle east back to the west be it france u.k. and others it difficult. because the people were natural born citizens there wouldn't

have been a legal reason to exclude them coming bag to the country where they were born. >> briefly before you go with all of these details still yet to be uncovered and all the questions n answered how crucial is it that the last suspect hayat boumeddiene, be taken alive. >> it's important and it's important for a number of reasons. we want to know if they are acting on behalf of an organization, because that gives a sense with a.q.a.p. is trying to go out of area or whether we are dealing with attacks with the boston marathon bombing. where people radicalize. one. things is something called a localization of local jihad, the groups digging into countries and places and setting up training camps. the or is atomisation.

individuals on their own. >> all of which are important questions that we are trying to figure out the answers to. >> thank you for joining us live from washington our pleasure having you. >> meanwhile, dangerous calls stretching from coast to coast and deep into texas. meteorologist kevin corriveau is here with a look at that. >> very dangerous in texas. people are more experienced with the snow and driving in michigan. there's ice in texas, and a dangerous situation. from the department of transportation, this is what we are looking at. where you see the grey dots those are where you see snow and icing problems. there's one to the north to the suburbs of san antonio and most on highway 10. we expect it to continue through much of the early afternoon. a quarter of an inch of ice could be a problem. localized places half an inch. it means the bridges and the

obvious passes are dangerous in that situation. drive safely. this will. a big problem. >> thank you so much paris left reeling after this week's massacre where vigils are planned today and tomorrow to mourn and begin to heel. dana lewis is live with the latest including the search for the final suspect. search crews pull the tail section from the java sea. we talk about the next steps and figure out what went wrong. >> very depressing as time wept by i got back. next - hope for thousands of american families homeless and trying to get back on their feet. feet.

good morning to you, welcome

back to al jazeera america. i'm morgan radford, these are the top stories. the search continues for hayat boumeddiene, the common law wife for a suspect in this week's attacks in paris. her husband was killed when her husband stormed a kosher supermarket where he held hostage. that came moments after police stormed a warehouse where the co-ashy brothers -- co-ashy brothers held a hostage. before cherif kouachi claimed do have been stored by al qaeda in yemen. cue ashy may be -- co-ashy may be connected to another cleric hamza, who was sentenced in

court for a plot in yemen. we go to dan allowize. -- dana lewis. >> there's a manhunt for the common law wife of amedy coulibaly. do you get a sense that people in paris are nervous about her being on the loose? >> well they are watching the statements by french authorities that she an armed dangerous and involved in the shooting of a police woman. she is close to her husband, not only in terms of their common law relationship. they travelled to malaysia and is seen in the photographs, doing military training wearing a veil carrying a cross bow. she is thought to be an intricate player in some of the planning that has taken place, they want to know what she nose and that's why we see so much

security on the treats and military squads marching around the train stations - eight soldiers carrying weapons in addition to all the police. 100,000 extra security on the police. >> there's a lot of questions facing french authorities. what do they say about the suspects killed. who are they saying dropped the ball here. >> well i think you know they haven't wanted to acknowledge tore talk about it given -- acknowledge it or talk about it given what has gone on. that is where they are turning their attention. a security conference convened with european ministers of justice. tomorrow attorney general eric holder has been invited and will attend as well. now they are saying they have to start dealing with this migration of fighters from libya, iraq yemen, and they have to deal with the intelligence services that it

was a serious failure, obviously. that the kouachi brothers were well-known and disappeared off the radar of french intelligence authorities. to answer your question probably we'll see an overhaul of the french intelligence services and what has happened in the wake of these hostage takings and blood lettings that occurred in france. >> dana lewis live in paris thank you for being was. meanwhile indonesian search cruise in the java sea are on the hunt for the black boxes. divers used an inflatable des vice to pull up the tail section. the boxes are believed to have detach. search crews detected a ping on friday. investigators say they are key to finding out what caused the crash of airasia flight 8501.

joining us to discuss this is a former number of tsb investigators, aviation psychologist and author of air safety investigators using science to save lives one crash at a time. they found the tail this morning, but not the black boxes, which are usually located, as i understand in the rear of plane. where do they look next? >> they are on the hunt for the black boxes. they have 30 days of battery lives on the pingers. the box will last for years, the data inside. that's where they are going. they are simultaneously looking at the structures once they get the rest of the tail cone up. there may be evidence of how violent the storm was, or the crash was anyway. >> if and when they find the black boxes, how long will it take to process the data so families can start to get the answers they have been waiting

two weeks to hear. >> the voice recorders are easier to download. you need people that know the two pilots into the room in case the area might - they have three channels. you need people that know the pilots to identify the voices. that takes a couple of days. but the data recorder is complicated, talking up to two weeks. both are critical. if they are working, they should go a long way to explaining what happened. more importantly, why. >> you mentioned the pilots - reports saying the pilots did not activate the distress signal. does that give us clues as to what happened? >> it can. it can provide hints. when you are inside a thunderstorm i happen to have an airline pilot's licence, pilots are busy and can be focused on solving the problem, trying to

avoid the weather, gain control of the aircraft. we'll have to wait to hear the voice recorder. no that's not unusual. >> so alan the basic question i think, we are all wondering - i am and hopefully our viewers - is there hope for the days ahead. >> i think so. if they are correct that they heard the pingers. that will be a major clue into solving the mystery. the only way anything good can come out of the tragedy, the loss of 162 people is if we learn lessons and prevent the next crash. that's what air safety investigators do. >> lessons we hope that they learn. >> thank you for joining us. a u.s. judge cleared the united nations over an outbreak of cholera in haiti. nearly 9,000 died when waste from a u.n. peacekeeper's camp as dumped into the river. as explained, the judge ruled the u.n.'s charter provides it

legal immunity. >> reporter: it's a major setback for haitian cholera victims' families a judge in new york throwing out the lawsuit meaning the capses of united nations -- chances of united nations answering questions about their role in the 2008 cholera outbreak is further away. the u.n. ban ki-moon and u.n. peacekeepers in haiti are immune from the lawsuit. growing evidence reported to u.n. peacekeepers introducing cholera, and sewerage the source was lacking from the u.n. peacekeepers pace. when the u.n. refused to admit fault victim's rights group and family members suspected a cover up and filed a lawsuit. lawyers reacted with anger and shock to the disagreements, and vowed to repeal the latest

ruling. >> it's an issue needed to be decided on appeal. the implications are grave. it implies that there's nowhere in the world that one can turn when the u.n. doesn't comply with u.n. obliges and the u.n. refuses to provide justice. >> as for the u.n. ban ki-moon came to haiti saying the organization had a moral responsibility to end the outbreak and try to drum up support for a 2 billion fund. >> the u.n. position is the same. they refuse to take responsibility for the cholera outbreak. now the judge's decision comes a few days before the 5-year anniversary of the earthquake that killed more than 230,000 people. al jazeera's "faultlines" visited haiti to vet the cholera endemics and you can see an

>> translation: the gangs robbed us of safety and stolen our public spaces. kids cannot go out to play they can't do activities outside like they used to when i was a child. 11-year-old fatima nonetheless time with her mum. the plan to study chemistry requires tense consideration. something lacking. acapulco is a famous resort but it lost its sheen as drugs fight for territory. criminals support doctors and tapesers. anyone they can. fatima's headmaster said a kindergarten teacher from a neighbouring school was kidnapped and other families from the or. >> they grab and take you and ask for however much money. sometimes you are rescued, sometimes you don't come back.

>> reporter: teachers have been a thorn in the government's side. some thing the strike has political motives. teachers says they will not go back to the classroom until the state government provide better security. >> the city state and federal government should guarantee our safety. where are they. this is sat. it makes me want to cry to see the class empty and filthy how is this possible. >> state officials denied a request for interviews. thousands of students are missing out on schooling. >> around 100 schools are shut down because of strikes. looking arn the classroom you see dusts and spider webs a sign of how long it's been since students occupied the classroom. the strike going on two months and could go on longer. >> as it carries on the future for thousands of students remains on hole.

there are more homeless americans living in shelters thousands are family units. the national center says that one in 30 american students are homeless. the challenge to get on the feet is often a big one. >> reporter: a home for the new year. that's the dream for 2015. for the past year the single mother and her sop, ryan lived at new york city's largest homeless center. she came to the saratoga inn after fleeing domestic violence from her partner and asked us not to use her surname. >> time went by i started to go back to school. it's getting brighter. jessica is not alone. families like hers are a fast-growing segment. a crisis hitting hard in new

york. the city operates many shelters like this. >> more than 59,000 people hive in shelters like this one on any given night. half 25,000, are children. >> michael helped to run the programme for decades. he has seen the number of homeless children sky rocket. >> nationwide it's estimated 2.59. it's getting worse. something has to be done to make it easier for the families. >> homelessness is not just a housing issue. saratoga offers counselling, job training and afterschool care. caring for the family costs 30,000 per year. wendy and her son lived here for 3.5 years. they came after wendy lost her job at the hospital.

>> they think homeless people are dirty bums you see them on subways, they smelly and look scary. that's not what most of the homeless people look luke. they look like me my son. if you saw me on the streets, you'd never know i lived on a shelter. >> they are leaving the shelter for an apartment. >> i went back to my apartment. i sat for an hour. i was happy. i'll cook my behind off when i get there, i can't wait. >> reporter: a wait that is long and hard but makes coming home this year sweeter. >> the problem does not stop with families statistics show 360,000 individuals are homeless 50,000 being military veterans. >> connecticut's supreme court orders a teenager to undergo chemotherapy. the 17-year-old doesn't want it and has her mother's support. in a moment we'll speak with our

legal expert about when a perp's right is stumped by medical science. >> and a family celebrating a man that showed them how to do it. stay tuned. tuned.

this week a connecticut supreme court ordered a teenage daughter battling cancer must undertake chemotherapy. the 17-year-old has hodgkin's lymphoma which is treatable. she was removed from the family home after she and her mother refused chemo and wanted to seek a second option. her mother spoke to reporters after the decision. >> my daughter is old enough mature enough to make a decision. if she wasn't.

i'd make it. >> reporter: what decision would you make? >> mine would be the same i don't believe in chemicals and toxins, i'd find a treatment to make sure she lives. >> doctors at the medical center in hardford says cassandra has 80% survival chances with chemo. it was published in obbed and cassandra rites: line lion joining us now is jamie floyd an al jazeera america legal contributor. this is curious. you have the mother saying i don't believe in toxins, the daughter has an 85% chance of surviving if she gets it. what i find curious is in

connecticut, a 17-year-old can have contraception, seek abortion, and others without parent position. >> and they have the mature minor doctrine. if a court finds a minor is mature enough to make her own decisions, here the court found she is not mature enough to make her decisions. she ran away from home and lied in the lower court about the fact. >> she rap ran away when she was told she had to get chemo. >> and she didn't turn up for some appointments. these cases are the hardest. the state has to think of the best interest of the child. the child is the child until she's 18 years old. whether she's 17 or 7 or two. cassandra is an infant in the

eyes of the law. >> she's about to turn 18. >> doesn't matter. >> what happens once she turns 18. >> she can make up her own mind. it goes out the window. >> i called a doctor about this. it could be too late. that's the way the disease advances that chemotherapy has to happen. the state stepped in to enforce its will. what makes it fascinating is the mother and daughter is on the same side. it would be different if the mother and daughter was on opposite sides. they are siding against mothers and daughters. >> we are saying no because she's a minor, if she's a minor, she's the responsibility of her mother. why can't the mother make the decision. >> they say the mother is making a decision not in the best interests of a child. similar to an abuse case and

they are stepping in to do what is in the best interests of the child. cassandra and her supporters and mum say this is speptionly a -- essentially a battery on my daughter she doesn't want the treatment and the option is to take it to a higher court. they can appeal from the state court's decision. >> have we seen other cases? >> these cases happen all the time. they don't make the same splash. yes, often the sit has to step in. >> but the parents and the child are on opposite sides. >> yes. >> and often you are not dealing with something present where the lines are clearly drawn. she clearly will survive. 84% likelihood of survival. if she gets the treatment and likely not to survive if she doesn't get the treatment. that's why we are talking about this. snow we hope and wish -- we hope

and send the best to cassandra. >> jamie no idea thank you for being with us. >> let's get a look at the forecast. meteorologist kevin corriveau. >> earlier we talked about the lake effect snow that was a major problem across michigan. we are looking at it here off lake ontario and erie. you see the bands coming through, especially with the one to the north highway 81 - that will be a major problem. anywhere between 15, 18 inches of snow likely across this particular area temperatures barely getting out of the single digits this morning. albany at 11 degrees. we are looking at the textures in the double digits. and major problems around the great lakes. >> australia is a popular destination. you may be surprised to know it the sport itself is relatively

new. it was 100 years ago that an olympian from hawaii introduced the sport down under. a lot of people have been hanging tends since then including al jazeera's andrew thomas. >> reporter: today it is one of the popular beaches in sydney. a century ago it was the scene of an historic event. freshwater beach is australia home of surfing. the statue of duke that stands above it explains why. he was an olympic gold medal-winning singer but the hawaiian surfed. when he came to australia, he brought his board. his name brought crowds and publicity. australia had some surfers, none could do what duke could. his exhibition surf gave a boost to surfing in australia, a country that took to the sport like no others. >> from what he did, i am sure

the industry was spawned. we were sa small snags. hawaiians had been surfing for years. he brought something to australia that was special. the competitive edge of australians took it to the next level. one in 10 australians are thought to surf once a year a higher proportion than any other country. australia makes up sa sizeable chunk. >> amateur surfers, even hopeless ones help the $10 billion industry. people by boards and self-indulgent cameras strapped to their heads. >> there was no industry in 1915. he made his open board. a replica was ridden on a top hawaiian surfer. along with kangaroos and barbecues, surfing is part of the cultural identity. it was a hawaiian that gave

australians an enthusiasm for catching waves. that will do it for us here in new york. i'm morgan radford. have a great rest of your morning. it's crazy money that you can make here.
