the eastern city, you are looking at live pictures. there was a shoot out two suspects were killed one person was arrested the raid was part of an investigation into people returning from syria. >> during the investigation, we found that this group was about to commit terrorist effects in belgium. immediately opened fire with automatic weapons. that open fire during several minutes before being neutralized. two of the suspects were killed the properties cuter did not offer any more details. the developments on this breaking news story. evidence surfacing of a

new massacre in nigeria today the united states says they are working on a special initiative to deal with it. >> we know this is a visit can't threat, and a very challenging one that's why we have offered to work with them we have done some joint training. but more broadly in the region we are working with other partners. to fight this threat because it is a regional threat. >> bomb caha ram the group is also keeping hundreds of people, today the president paid a surprise visit to victims of those attacks. more now from the capitol. >> once a vibrant community, everything changed over a week ago. this is what the town looks like. this is what more than 20,000 people escaped from including it caught

us as we were leaving town, it separated the children from the adult whose were asked to lie down, they were shot dead, they were taken back to the camp, we escaped when they were busy burning homes. >> it took them over a week to get here. >> the motorcycles and trucks they shot us, we were trampling on dead bodies. we kept on for two days before we reached the main road, also more than 1,000 people. for many people -- the military is struggling to push back boko haram. more lives have been lost and territory seized. the president is meant to boost troop morale and meet survivors. but here, it has been replaced by a place of resignation among people of the northeast the

crime against humanity, nothing less. it is an eformousely horrendous of independent people and boko haram continued to present a serious threat. ar intervention will be welcomed, they have lost so much. al jazeera. we have some before and after photos here, can you put into context how devastating the damage is?

the images show a very very large community. which are roughly maybe 200,000 population. waythe picture shows clearly, is the number of shelters or structures that were there. >> the june 3rd -- january 3rd attack, and what was left. dealing with the satellite we believe 6,000 structures were destroy sod you are talking about major -- the complete destruction of the building they generated refugees. he mentioned that

nigerian would love help from the u.s., what kind would the most beneficial right now. talking about military. >> clearly there's a major humanitarian crisis we believe at least 500,000 people, possibly up to 1 million have been displaced so that is a clear feed. but the real challenge protecting people from the attack, and sort of providing security, and the united states and the united kingdom can provide assistance, training equipment but the real responsibility is going to be within the forces. and those forces themselves have major questions about respect for human rights and that's what has held back the system. i think even the rumor would be a morale lift for the forces if the

u.s. would go into help in a significant way, do you think it would have? so do you think some cob bra helicopters due to concerns about the armies ability to use they want. and the state department says there are on going concerns and you have alluded to this about the military protection. this doesn't seem to be any men coming and while there may be some squabbling back and forth, statements from the ambassador, and some push back, while there is this squabbling going on, it is the nigerian whose are suffering right now. >> that's correct. and so i think that those discussions ideally lead to a change in policy, by the authorities. but that is going to take pressure by the nigerian people and not only the devastated areas but the

rest of the king and around the world. the voices have to basically say that the citizens in the north deserve protection, and you have to do what is being required to get the assistance and that's ideally a factor that -- things have changed in the country in the military and they allows the right kind of assistance. >> led by this president good luck jonathon, is seriously committed to taking on boko haram because you often hear rue moms that there are so many people within the government who are boko haram that their voice will take any real attempt to take on this group.

j the inability to protect people, one thing is the administration isn't and rightful supporters. that remains to be seen. the people in the north are suffering and they deserve better than that. joining us from washington and reconciliation. the government is ready to lift restrictions on cuba.

some americans will be able to fly directly back and forth and spend money there only congress can lift the full trade embargo, this is the fort etc. any president has gone to normalized relations with cuba. mike take us through these changes. >> tony, you are right it is a sweeping set of new measures. putting some meat on the bones of the dramatic announcement. that peter greste wanted to normalize economic conditions with the island including a liberalization of the travel restrictions that have been in place for so long now you can go now according to the administration if you are an american citizen for as many as 12 listed reasons including family visited, educational visited, visits associates with religion as well. no special license will be needed as it happened in the past as was required in the past.

but tony, as you point out, general tourism is still banned you can just go for the purpose of lying on the beach. i am sure some people will find a way. and especially important to omany as well, the amount of money that can be sent to their relatives so many depend on those transfers of money those limit redirect examination now being lifted as well, whereas before you could only send $2,000 to cuba, you may now send $8,000 a year and if you go in person under these travel restrictions you can carry on your person as much as $10,000 into the island. releasing 53 political prisoners that had been

held in jail hey mike, what effects will this have politically and economically job can tell me from which view. >> first of all economically as far as the u.s. side, there are only 11 million people, it is relatively impoofierished nation. although it is a far different story from a cuban perspective. it's been criticized politically by marco rubio, of course, he has been the loudest voice of the cuban american who says it is a win fall for the castro regime, and as far as lifting the embargo, as we talked about, congress has to do it in order to lift it totally, the white house weighed in on that and it's intention. >> the administration views we should normalized our relations the effect of that will be by that increased contact with cuban people and the government, would only serve to put more pressure on the regime. to abide by protect and advance the human rights

that we hold dear in this country. >> tony, i am told one of the first questions that some people have, can they get cuban cigars in this country these new announcements these new guidance announced by the administration, up to $100 of alcohol and tobacco for personal consumption only can be brought out of cuba. >> that will make a lot of people happy. mike ever the us, at the white house, thank you. the global threats of isil and terrorism are at the top of the agenda, when british prime minister meets with president obama tonight cameron is having dinner at the white house, it is the first of several et mooings cameron and obama also co authored an add that rang in london today, including a message about the attacks reading in part, along with our french allies we have made clear to those who think they are muscle through this with violence that our voices will only grow louder. the frank were layed to rest today.

week's attempt. but expressed the need to be respectful i believe he is not react violently. to my mother, he can expect a punch. it is normal, it is normal. you cannot provoke. you cannot make fun of the faith of others. >> hundreds of cheering people welcomed to the pope. pope francis was welcomed to the philippines by a gust of hot manila air. leading figures of the catholic church here. a brief try from the airport was just a taster millions are expected on the streets friday and sunday. in between he will visit

west hit by the typhoon and deliver a message on man made climate change. focus on the philippines. were at logger head. in a 23 was decided to use contraception for the first time in her life. every year i gave birth my mother-in-law told me about family planting because i was getting pregnant every year. last month the reproductive health bill guaranteeing access to contraception became law. the strikes about the displaced with the crowding. is about friendship for the poor, and his

catholic church's teaching on contraception. the staff of this nearby clinic providing contraceptive say no matter the new law they still tell women that contraception is immoral it's side effects dangerous. smoking is dangerous to your health. that -- >> on a level -- last october reaffirmed the teaching on contraception, now tensions oevery the roll in the philippine life will be set aside as the country celebrates the first visit for 20 years. before the visit can see a record set for attendance at the mass. 6 million people are expected. >> a new report says there is no solution to replace bulk data

collection, so and there an alternative to avoided mass spying? the mosques where oil collapsed is hitting the economy there. >> we need to know what's going on in our backyard. >> plus, objective analysis and live reports from across the nation and reaction from around the world. the state of the union address. special coverage begins tuesday, 7:00 eastern. right here on al jazeera america.

they have thwart add major and eminent attack. two suspects where are killed in a shoot out. live now from paris at this point what do we know? well we have heard from the federal prosecutors office in brussells. giving an emergency press conference shortly after these events in the past few hours confirming the fuse that two people were killed.

one opinion arrested in a raid in a town called in the the east of belgium. about 125-kilometers from brussells. the federal prosecute ever says the group of armed individuals as that raid began. with automatic weapons and explosions set off as well in the context of a series of raid. searching something like ten homes. and they believe as they said that they have thwarted plans to launch a major attack eminently on belgium soil. >> do we know if there is any connection between what is happening now this raid, and the attacks in the neighboring france. >> tony express live, no connection being made between the two although they are coincidental,

federal prosecutors saying no connection. there is a separate investigation going on into an individual after police on tuesday. it's thought he may have supplied the weapons last week to one of the gunman that is a separate investigation, this one we are toad has been on going for several weeks intentionally looking into individual whose have returned to belgium. >> all right jona hull for us, thank you. president obama says america's deserve paid family and sick time. the president also orders federal agencies to give them six weeks of advanced paid six leave for care, for a new child, and for a cigarettetive. he says congress should do the same. there have been calls for

the security agency to own it's collection of phone records. last year president obama ordered a study to see if there was a software program that would be easier to gather target information. today the council said that no software based technology can fully replace the bulk collection program. our correspondent is with us, give us a sense of where we stand with the science of the data collection. >> it is the endless probable for the government and for corporations in general. the collection of data rally offers endless amounts of data, anyone that wants just a fire hose, but very limited incite. this is the big data problem. and it's always been the case that you can collect literally tons of data. and have absolutely no way of taking it through -- going through piece by piece this report was designed to figure out if there's some software for pulling

back on that a little more targeted but result of this was pretty much that it is just almost impossible to do so without just pulling everything in. >> how about the nsa for a moment, and what programs research and issues are underway so that organization can do a better job of managing the data well, it is a funny thing you look at the way that the nsa is going after this. it is very similar, they are looking to limit the access but to make smarter use of it, there are a number of programs sort of a multiagency pool of money for doing the kind of research that needs to be done here. and they are trying to do things like pick out patterns in youtube video. right now you can find there are specific things but you can't find for instance the picture of a guy in red hot or give

me the shots of everybody that was walking against the crowd. pattern recognitions. and they are also working on something called the babble program. and every time we mention guns or reid. and analyst all of that is underway right now. so there is a huge amount of data. that any of this will lead to less data collection, ink stead it will lead to more. >> jake ward is with us. disappointing bank earnings the dow fell 106-points the s&p 500 the nasdaq was down 68 1/2 points. the drop in oil prices may be good for consumers but it is wreaking havoc for the major oil economies, oil has been

falling studly. by early january, it was trading at less than $50 a barrel. it was plunged in prices are crippling. peter sharp has more. >> oil exports more than half the country's earnings foreign earnings come from the sale of gas and oil. the cost the economy the russian economy too $2 billion. that assumed that the price of the barrel of oil would be $100.

to slash 10% that's 10% of every one of the government departments except of course, four defense. and in the next 24 hours will be reassessing a transfer five more detainees out of guantanamo bay we will talk to an attorney. why he sighs is the keep that keeps giving. and the point against the west involved in helping a blogger facing hundreds of lashes, for speaking his mind. inesse has that story coming up.

the pentagon says the men are from yemen. they were cleared for release five years ago that leaves 120 prisoners still there. the transfer of these men is stirring protests from some lawmakers. here with more on this for us. >> tony, these restrictions on sending some of those just this week several republican senators call for a moratorium. all five men were held without being charged. when he was 18. like him, the other four were captured in

pakistan. the u.s. held them at guantanamo as suspected fighters for al quaida. all five were cleared for release. but the u.s. government didn't want to return them for fear they might be lured into al quaida there. on wednesday the defense department said the u.s. sent to astoria and the other four men. the release come as month after six other long serving detain fees were allows to go to uruguay. the transfers have sparked credit similar from some several senators called for a halt,ing aing they are still dangerous. >> we know for a fact, that russly 30% of those who have been released have reevented the fight. and usually at a very high level. because it is a badge of honor to have been an inmate if the barack

obama has long pledged to shut the prison down. >> the idea that we would still maintain forever. a group of individuals who have not been tried that is contrary to who we are in this country. and it needs to stop administration officials insist that security is a top concern. a special envoy for the defense department said we take our obligation to assess the risk seriously prior to transfers. as a result, more than 90% transferred during the obama administration have quietly around the world. 122 prisoners are left, 54 of them have been approved for transfer. earlier today i spoke with rumsy similar, he is an attorney who has represented more than a dozen guantanamo din

trainees. i asked him what he thoughtability a these latest. >> i think it is a great step in the right direction. something that should have start add long time ago, it took a massive strike to get this ball rolling and finally on the way. >> so you are praising the obama administration, is getting slammed right now for this decision many question the timing of it, given the attacks. what is your thought reaction to the criticism, something he promised during the campaign and promised in the first of his presidency taxer he would do, which is to close guantanamo bay. >> talks about paris in this the men at guantanamo have been there since 2003, the organization you are talking about connection with the paris attacksedness even exist. there isn't even an allegation they they belong to those organizations.

so really, what's the answers they are supposed to be kept there forever. >> it makes no sense. and if not related to law, or logic and it doesn't even make for sound policy. >> and there was also legislation being closed down to make it even more difficult for the president to do what he has just done. >> right if you look at the details nothing short of a build out with guaranteeing the guantanamo to remain open and remain available as a recruitment tool, every single person that has something to do in the last ten years has said that guantanamo should be closed. all of the relevant agencies the cia fbi department of defense have signed off on the release, and yet you have senators including senator mccain, saying let's keep it open. >> how p layers must a

release go through. >> that's a perfect question. my client is a syrian, who was in guaranteeing tone mow for 12 years was re -- he had been approved for release in 2009 by the new task force. that task force includes every single agency and the u.s. government with a say in national security. so director of national intelligence, the c.i.a., the fbi all of them signed off on this, now i have clients today, who is a british national who was cleared by that task force, and cleared in 2007 2007 president bush as well. so more can crow do. >> how do you explain the determination, to keep this prison open and operating. >> you know, it is for those politician guantanamo is the gift that keeping on giving. so they are putting politics over sound policy. everybody agrees everyone

who has a say -- >> because it wins votes. >> because it is part of fear mongers tactics they can cause fear by blasting him over guantanamo. when you look at it as a matter of security, there is an argument they should not be released. they have been approved. >> one of your clients has been released to yemen? >> yes. he was released in september 2014. >> yes. >> no one can be released to yemen the failed state that is yemen a safe haven for al quaida. >> that's what they have been saying, but appearance and another background were released consistent with the applicable law and regulations from the u.s. military in afghanistan they have been in yemen since then, the world hasn't come to a etch screwing halt, as far as

i can tell. they are living their lives with their families lives that disrupted 12 years ago. >> while he is pleased his clients have returned to normal lives, they have epotional scars from their time at guantanamo. low visibility are slowing the search for the air asia crash. showing a large debris field in the java sea. the arab league is supporting a palestinian resolution to the united nations calling for an end to israeli occupation. they agreed at a heating today after pleas from palestinian leader. >> we couldn't reach a resolution. what we need now from our arab brothers is to renew the build and seek a security council vote. for ten years the boss has been the president of the people, his

presidency has been defined by end wills negotiations with steal he has faced pressure for being seen as too moderate now they are looking for approval to take it to the international criminal court. to free a blogger. it shows ray being flogged in public last friday, he was received some 50 lashes and faces another 50 tomorrow and every friday for 20 weeks. he is being punished for what the government called insulting islam on a blog. amnesty international and reporters without borders held protests in paris also in london, and the netherlands. even in canada today the u.s. government and the u.k. have asked saudi government to drop the punishment just yesterday, prime minister cameron was asked about it.

>> he faces 30 lashes and ten years in prison because he wrote some articles with which his government disagreed. the prime minister join many ein condemning the barbaric and medieval regime. and does it believe that our international alliances should be founded more on human rights and less on economic muscle. >> we don't approve of the sorts of punishments and we always raise these cases when british citizens are involved in the strongest possible way. >> as i spoke with one activist that says he may be paying the price for a number of internal government reasons one is a power struggle within the royal family one is for reform, the over is for a harsher kind of conservative interpretation of it's religious interpretation within saudi arabia.

the other explanation is that there's a fear from the arab spring, and it's cobs wednesdays the fear is that this -- these demands for reform will spread within saudi arabia. >> and a reporters without border petition is going around, collecting signatures asking the saudi king to release the blogger. >> inesse, appreciate it, thank you. >> the murder scheduled to be put to death the a few hours in oklahoma, lit be the first execution in the state sinced the botch he that will injection of another inmate. it was in this chamber that he lay gasping and. he grimaced clenched his jaw and writhes on the gurney. the execution lasted 43 minutes and resulted in panic prison officials closing the blinds so that no one selected to watch the procedure actually saw him take his

final breaths. the investigative reporter witnessed the execution. something very unusual happen he began to struggle he was moving, he groaned, he was attempted to speak and the only thing that i could hear him to sailorly was the word man. >> the execution was oklahoma's first using the controversial he that will cocktail involving the sedative mezazilin. some have opted to try new, drug combinations because of on an going shortage of tradition fall he that will injection drugs. in many cases because european companies and officials have protested the use of their drugs in the u.s. prisons. the death penalty information center says it was associated with disastrous consequences in three executions last year including those of joseph wood, in arizona and dennise maguire in ohio.

maguire took more than 20 minutes to die. >> well, this gets to a basic philosophical question about what is happening we are now in an era and last year was part of it, where they are trying drugs that have eve in been used before and they are doing that on human beings. >> the fiasco generated such worldwide outrage the department of corrections stopped it's execution procedure. a sit investigation uncovered poor training improper equipment and a lack of planning the execution team failed to properly insert the needle to deliver the he that will injection drugs properly monitor the i.v. drip. and no contingency plan when things went wrong.

it represent as serious government power. other states are scrambling to prevent more botched executions. last week, as part of it's he that will cocktail after the prolonged execution of dennise maguire who choked and gasps before dying. but like oklahoma those states are determined to keep up the grim work behind these prison walls, fueling the debate over what exactly constitutes cruel and unusual punishment. al jazeera, houston. >> the father of the ohio man accused of plotting -- described his son as a mama's boy who never left the house. the fbi was alerted to christopher cornell after see pro isil posts on his twitter account. he allegedly wanted to blow up the capitol building, he was arrested

yesterday in the parking lot of a gun store. his father says his 20-year-old son was the victim of an fbi sting. >> i think that was the fbi, as he had been going through -- i think that was the fbi corresponding with -- or he was making plots or whatever, i think they should have arrested him next, they wanted to get -- i am surprised they didn't kill him. >> students are back in class at the university of virginia one month after that explosive rolling stone article about campus rape was debunked. the fraternity has been reinstated. back to see how the students are coping in the aftermath. chris, how would you describe the mood on campus. >> well, you have to remember this is a school that had quite a rough semester. there were two students suicides, there was a

murder and then this huge article that came out depicting a gang rape by a fraternity, and then when it was called into question about whether it happened you can imagine this is huge emotional roller coaster. so students are going back to class, they are trying to move forward. trying to heal as a community. and really continue to keep the focus on sexual assault, just because the article was not sure there seems to be a consensus that they want to continue the conversation going forward, to make it as safe as possible as they can on campus. but as this upcoming clip, there was reservations about how the fraternities are treating and whether or not they are unfairly targeted. >> we think they were unfairly targeted. >> i think a lot of people did feel unfairly targeted because there's a stereotype that is applied to the organizations that by no means could ever describe every single person or even a small fraction of them.

what are fraternities doing now? >> i think there's an awareness, that fraternities are trying to be more active, and making sure that everyone is safe. i think that increasing safety comes at the cost of making a deal with new policies i am completely okay with that. >> so there are going to be few regularslations in place. students have to have containers that are closed when they are heartied. there has to be sober brothers. they have to register the from earn thety parties on tuesday before each party. so there should be a lot of changes. >> sounds like it, appreciate it, thank you. in washington. there is controversial in seattle. over proposed housing for the homeless, the mayor wants to offer hundreds of people living on the street shelter in government run tent cities.

allen has been looking into that. welcome to place called ficklesville, this is keshia enjoying a little bit of the warm here on a very cold morning in seattle. she is part of a population of about 2300 considered homeless in this city. very hard to get exact figures, good data on this for the last time that a one with night tout was held, it was estimated more than 2300 people were sleeping on city streets or the their cars defined as homeless that's above and beyond the 1700 beds in shelters. figure the city of seattle spends $37 million a year, right now on a variety of different homeless programs. this one nickelsville has had to move 16 times since it was founded back in 2008. let's talk to alex jacob who is the external affairs coordinator you are still looking for

services and support, for existing needs. >> yes we are. absolutely. with the news that we just received of the mayors support for 100 people each, it is a step in the right direction but the fact is that we have needs here, that have not been met. >> needs like somebody needs to pick up the trash. >> like that. also our honey bucket situation, the restrooms the porta potties and those are in arrears as well. and that's a very important thing for this to work, and continue to help people to do the things that we do. let's have things work and work right here. >> let's take a look inside one of the units here. >> we have gotten permission from joseph, one of the residents here to come and have a visit. joseph keeping his identity hiddens how is it going? >> it is pretty cold. it is pretty face.

ratchets up concerned. >> i know for a fact, that there are thousands of people around the world plotting to kill americans both here in the homeland and abroad. and eventually, it is my opinion, and i hope that i am wrong but it is my opinion that eventually it isability a question of if but when, at least one of those will get carries out. >> fresh mangini earned has now been chosen to deliver the republican response to president obama's state of the union address. with a primary campaign ad promoting the fact that she grew up castrating pigs. in the general election, she vows to come to washington and make folks squeal. one of the lessons most parents sometimes even adults and politician can get pushed over the edge.
