army trying to control the armed milln't thats but there was a wide scale campaign of repression. >> into more of one with the group, that was one of the main groups groups that were operating declares itself as the province and giving ahe jens to the islamic state. >> so how significant is it what teems sob more of a spread of islamic state influence in say egypt or possibly also north africa, we had those attacks that appear to be in libya.

>> it is the environment that is going on at the moment whether in egypt or libya is to the ideologists and behavior such as those of the islamic state. you had a collapse of the after a 2013 coupe a collapse of another transition pros is after a declared coupe and then the collapse of the transition forces and now the bullets are taking the place. and there are, this is the environment where the ideas and the actions will be welcomed by some of the disenchanted youth there. especially by the margin impoofierished areas. and the only procedures that were implemented there were

heavy handed security crack downs so there has been an ex-collation of almost 14 years. >> given what you say about the escalation, and the consequences what kind of response are you expecting now from the government given what we have seen this etching. >> the standard operating procedure is just a crack down hard. right now the mentality within the security and the military establishment is that if you power through and hit harder, that the problems will go away. but that has been really the procedures that were being implemented since the second palestinian and the presence of a security or an estimated threat there and the problem did not go away, it extended the scale, and it's geographic call scale. and cairo, and extended in the scope, and intensity, the duration of the attacks.

i think that as on nonstate carrying for even in the confrontations of the 50's and the 90's, had this kind of capability surface to aramis seals and bringing down army helicopters. we shia militia this situation now. and the security crack downs was not really that successful in dealing with this situation. and they are -- if you look at the insurgency of the u.s. army, they are exactly doing the the very different policies and recommendations that they are given them a more popular environment more support and more of a cost, and i think this will eventually end in a disaster. >> thank you for your analysis of events there just in the last few minutes we have a statement, from the armed forces mohamed said that today's attack on the security and armed forces took place

after the terrorist muslim brotherhood gangs and the criminal elements failed to spread chaos on the fourth anniversary of the glory yaws january 25th revolution. against the terrorists dens in north sinai. the statement ends therefore these criminals attacks some security and arm forces institutions by using car bombs and more tar rounds and right now the army is exchanging fire with them and they are being dealt with. protesting over the killing of a female protestor. 32-year-old was killed when police tried to disperse a rally through the capitol on saturday. the women place the preliminary for her death. the officials are denying responsibility. >> the court still hasn't

deliver add fully written judgement or set a date for a new trial. we continue to demand the release. who were falsely accused of work being the outlawed muslim brotherhood. egyptian president has said he would like the case to be resolved. >> is a sunset deadline for a hostage prisoner exchange between jordan and the islamic state has come and gone, seemingly with little changing on the ground. jordan has refused to hand other an am ida member who is involved in the hotel bombings which killed 60 people. it wants proof that a jordanian daneian pilot captured in december after his plane crashes in northern syria is still alive also holding -- from japan.

>> pilots. isil had said this woman would be suicide bomber and it would kill the jordanian daneian pilot. jordan's government announced that it needed proof that 26-year-old was still alive. >> jordan is willing to exchange al sha we was the jordanian daneian pilot. at this point, we want to emphasize that we have asked for proof of life. and we have not received anything as of yet.

japan's government has a special envoy trying to make things work. >> as ordered by the foreign minister we continue to collect information, analyze it and share it, we and the government are working as one from the early release. >> but it is unclear now whether there was ever any real hope. >> the family belonged to a big influential tribe're in southern jordan. this is the governing point for friends and family. waiting to hear some form of news. there's an anger here. that jordan became involved with the alliance against isil. >> the pilots brother has this to say. >> this war is not our war. and all jordanian citizens and

this statement and now i'm very sad about my brother but i believe god will bring him home to his parents and his home. >> so the lives of a jordanian pilot, and a would be suicide bomber are all at stake jordan and japan have competing interests in getting their own citizens released, and isil will play the next hand. andrew simmons, al jazeera. in southern jordan. >> joining me from paris is freelance journalist who spent ten months as a captive of isil before his release last april. thank you very much indeed for taking the time to talk to us, so you must have a sense of what the families are going through, and what the hostages themselveses are going through, with these deadlines passing and the uncertainty? >> of course, this reminds me of my own experience.

for myself and of course from all my relatives. because for them as well, it is extremely painful experience. >> what is the worst thing about -- what was the worst thing about being in the hands of isil? well it's just about being deprived of liberty. not to have the future the your hans but just to and your fate. you -- you're just -- well, you become an object, and you just expect that there will be some trade that will make you out. >> what kind of conditions were you held in. >> well, very basic. basic comfort, basic hygiene. extremely basic food. >> and tell me, what do you

make of the current situation do you think there's any kind of change in the way that isil is behaving compares to how they behaved when you were a hostage? is there any shift in their strategy. >> not very much. i had the feeling as long as negotiations are smooth, they are kept secret, and when there is an obstacle then they go public. but this is just my own presumption. and this is what is going on currently, and the point is that they are also -- most positions are not clear. both on isil's side and on the jordanians side, because it is not clear what is being asked for -- for sure, well, on the first statement of the japanese journalists it wasn't clear if there would be an exchange of the two hostages for the release of the would be suicide bomber.

and on the other hand, it is not very relevant to ask for the -- for a prisoner swap without disregard -- without a recent life. >> i suppose that's the thing they are waiting for presumably you would say that isil can't be trusted unless there is a very clear proof of life this kind of negotiations are always ex-treatmently difficult. because you never negotiate with your friend, and in this situation, there is no trust. and there is even hate between the well the two sides. but at some point, you -- these negotiations are not happening like in the movies from the cold war with two

sides and each side of the bridge and you send the prisoners on both sides. it's very volatile, and you reach a point at 1 time, you reach a point when one side has to take the first step. so i don't know if lit be isil to try to move forward if they really want to make a deal, or if it will be the jordanians. but the one side, even though -- you can't be sure that -- and that the other side is trustful, and it's indeed difficult to trust the other side in this case. >> okay, thank you very much indeed for taking a chance to talk to us, we appreciate it. >> you're welcome. >> israel says it has received a message from the u.n. peace

keeping force that hezbollah is not interested in ask escalation of violence. two soldiers and a spanish u.n. peace keeper were killed in an exchange of fire on wednesday. near the israeli boarder. three u.s. contractors have been killed by a gunman in the afghan capitol. an afghan national was also killed. u.s. defense officials are investigating the incident. we look at the impact the fighting in the ukraine is having. >> where thousands of jobbens depend on the isle industry, and where the low oil prices are raising concerns about the future. and african football bosses have now drawn the name out of a hat we will tell you who it

is later in sport. ♪ ♪. >> a gas tank has exploded outside a hospital in mexico city killing at least two people. a woman and a child. the authorities fear more babies and adults are trapped. >> the damager is breathtaking. this is a maternity hospital, much of the builds has collapsed in the explosion a number of people have been killed more than 50 injuries many by flying glass. rescue teams are looking for staff that may be trapped. dogs have been brought in to help. the biggest concern is the maternity part of the hospital, where dozens of newborns and mothers were located. these pictures give some idea of the difficult and dangerous conditions that rescuers face.

in the west of mexico city, it is believed it exploded. why, is the center of the investigation. doctors and nurses have done what they can to help. ambulances which normally bring injured people here, have been carries them up in this explosion to other hospitals in the area. this is not the first devastating goldman sachs explosion in mexico. and last year, three people were killed in the a gas leak explosion in a shopping center east of the country. the number of dead will rise here, and looking at the damage again they may be right. allen fisher, al jazeera. >> there's related to john holloman in mexico city, we know there could be people trapped there tell us more about the operation to try to free them? well, i have just talked to rescuers here, and they say

that it is unlikely that anyone else is going to remain trapped in there, they have managed to get everyone else out, they think. so far. at the moment, what rescued are doing, they are still going in, just trying to move some of the larger pieces of debris. but they think they have mostly got people out of the situation here so the mexico city mayor, is giving a press conference, has confirmed that two people have died one minor, and one woman. he has given figures of 66 people injured. over 20 seriously. most of those have been caused by glass flying out in the explosion here. and hitting people. so a lot of people have lost blood, and there's been a big campaign to again donors into the hospitals. and apparently that's been a overwhelming sum recess. >> and the pictures of the devastation is extraordinary

given that, it is surprising there isn't a higher death toll. >> yeah, up to 30 to 40% people are estimated that the hospital was destroyed by this but the rescuers, the rescue initials i just talked to said he got here fairly early, and he said the operation has been a success. mexico is quite use to rescue operations. we live in a country where earthquakes happen quite regularly, so these teams are quite well trained and in this operation, there was a police, the army, the navy, the red cross, so a lot of different teams coming together. to try and make this a success, which it seems to have been. >> thank you very much indeed for that update. >> at least five people in dead after two separate attacks. two men and one woman died when a rocket fell in a block

of the residential buildings. the second attack killed two other people. fighting in eastern ukraine has been intensifying since the start of the new year, people livering in the area eight months of fighting has taken it's toll, many have been forced to rely on the kindness of others for help. and fighters calling themselves the army of the donetsk people's republic. >> look at this. it was very difficult to get out. the roof was blown away. and i hid under the table. there was glass everywhere. tonya shows us the holes in her mother's clothe which is she says were made by shrapnel from the exploding shell. >> who knows who we will see

>> we drove through the check point to find the home. on a snowy street, we found it. what sounded like artillery echoed through the freezing air. this is the remains of a home ella had lived in most of her adult life. close by, an exploded shell on the ground. >> for about 65 years we are a kilometer from the airport. no sign of a let up in the fighting it is pretty certain we will be hearing a lot more stories like ella's both in donetsk and the wider region. eastern ukraine. >> e. u.s. foreign ministers have agreed to extend current economic sanctions against russia, as far as the killing

of 30 people in the town last week, by shelling blames on russian backs separatist. will now continue for another six months. the economy has already been hit by the sanctions as well as plunging oil prices. the ruble has lost 50% of it's value during the past year, while inflation is up to 11%. and earlier this morning the monotear fund the forecast that the economy would contract by 3% this year. saving from those cuts will fund an economic rescue package. the vice president warned that more action will be taken if things don't improve. it is not giving us any space for happy or anything. we kept arrayingty, which we

have always said is our strength and we are showing that the union is ready toic that further measures and to prepare for the week to come, the f the situation doesn't improve. earlier this week there was a warning that athens would reject further actions. a think tamping based in london, thank you for coming in. so we heard from the greeks originally that they were going to block any further sanctions. and now it seems they have these sanctions are being voted on, what do you think the government is up to with this. >> well, there's been a lot of speculation they may be doing this to use as a bargaining chip, the interesting thing is that the parties in the new government have always been against the sanctions on russia so although it may make it an interesting twist the

fact they have always felt that it should be more pro russian, and do more to trade. there's a certain amount of anxiety. about the close ties ties and what that can lead to. oh yes, one must remember that although the greek government is the latest to say they are for further sanctions this is not a new story. we have other countries that have been opposed the choke republic has been dragging it's feet, even italy and france. and the action on russia is not new. >> what about those why are there these close ties with russia and explain the background they just believe the independents they believe the e.u. should have a more favorable policy in terms of trade, and that is one of the things that the new prime

minister once he obtained power, that you should extend the trade ties. and interestingly one of the biggest power plays in this situation, has also suggested that perhaps the e.u. if the situation were to deescalate, should have more trading relationship with the russian customs. >> and presumably, also in the interest of vladimir putin to have an ally in that area. >> absolutely. but i think one of the problems with the sanctions on russia is there was never any defined clear goal as to what these sanctions should achieve, so if the aim was to defense the territory integrity, that's obviously failed. so we can tell that economic motivations are not the driving force so often they say that the situation is bad as it has because in the beginning there was a very black and white choice about whether ukraine can trade with russia.

and the more reasonable to have all three together. >> okay, thank you very much indeed. >> thank you. >> a man has been arrested after getting inside a dutch t.v. station armed with a gun. he managed to pass through tight security, to gain access to a studio air where he demanded to be put on air. police surrounded the building before arresting the man. they stopped broadcasting for over an hour. a festival celebrating the work of cartoonists has opened in france. organizers have collected 1,000 contributes from artists around the world. the front pages are among those items on display. they attacks the offices and the kosher super market, leaving 17 people dead. >> we thought we need to begin installing something that is a tribute, but also a cause for reflection, and by showing

in the village survivors tell us that after days of fierce fighting iraqi security forces primarily the army, with interior ministries swat teams as well as militia members move through the town reading from a list of displaced people. there they took away the men after marching for them for a kilometer, they took away some of those men and shot them. one survivor tells us he saw 13 of his neighbors lying dead. including schoolteachers and shop owners. the united nations has pointed out that it is the responsibility of the iraqi government to maintain control of all the forces under it's command, the interior minister says he has launched an investigation, but he stood before parliament and said it was still too soon to tell what happened. he promised there would be changes. meanwhile, other villages say

living in makeshift shelters with their family. we recognize that a quarter of the schools have been destroyed. there's a need to rebuilt them and get children back. part of the challenge is that we have seen malnutrition increase and there's a need to reach children there and thank prevent the further outbreak question are focusing on immunization, as well as providing an integrated packages of services to children and women. we are seeing the number of malnourished children growing and clear support to address further deterioration of the situation. >> let's go back to that attack in egypt where 42 members of security has been killed. explosions in the volatile

north sinai region. and the violence is still on going. but the kurt, toes placing the blame on what they call terrorist elements so a number of attacks at the moment that we have so far is at 42 kills and more than 70 injuries. >> is a week after the president and cabinet resigned the lays the frame work for forming a unity government. meanwhile, a fighter has stormed the house of a tribal leader kills nine rebels. members of the group were meeting in the building at the type. it is shifting focus on the west africa ebola outbreak, from slowing it down to ending it. well three countries most effected by the outbreak, reported a total of 99 new cases last week. who says the virus still isn't

doctors when necessary but respect from others in the healthcare industry is lacking. >> the key things we are fighting for is recognition. >> a new law lobbies for by traditional healers may bring the recognition they seek. but the government will require healers to register. they must undergo training measures will be take to rid the industry of charlatans and prevent people from getting overcharged. most traditional healers work the rooms like this, in the future they would like to be able to practice in hospitals and clinics. it is one of the reasons they feel the law doesn't go far enough. >> to understand. >> with the traditional healers organization, says she is not going to encouraging

her 72,000 members to register until the government offers incentives. she wants the government to provide training and wants insurance companies to accept claims from traditional healers. >> instead you should be saying if you don't register, this is what i will do to you then if you register, this is what i am going to give you. >> despite the criticisms and the slow pace, the law may still be evidence of a growing appreciation that both doctors and healers are uted in their mission, not only to keep the sick from harm, but to heal. south africa. >> the leaders of south sudan two warring factions have met for peat talks in the capitol. the discussions between the president and rebel leader were amileuated by west

heaven the train moves i am afraid i will fall off. practically all the trains run late and at a loss. compare that to the super high speed fleet the country has transformed it's rail system to one of the most technologically advanced in the world. and it is offering to do the same and the military has agreed to start construction by the end of the year. the rail project is expected to cost ann $12 billion. they have yet to work out how lit be financed. now is plan is to lay around 873-kilometers of new track. and 106 brand new shiny modern trains will be added to the current fleet. but some are questioning the motives, the existing trains

and track aren't compatible with china's rail network, so it means thailand will have two rail systems with one just to connect to china. logistics believe the new train network and the rout is designed to benefit china. from a chinese perspective it makes sense for them. because from a historical perspective it was a different system. that will enable the connectivity and support china access to the sea but then also access to resources. for this grandmother any attempt to shorten her journey is welcome. it is too long, sometimes it breaks down and we have to change and it takes hours.

experts say the high speed rail routes have been designed with trade in mind, rather than passengers. al jazeera, bangkok. here is robin with sport thank you very much, they will be looking at ways to decide which teams go on to progress at the cup. with the unfortunate casualties of the system. the luck of the draw favors guinea who flew to the quarter finals we have more. rarely can you have such excitement as when the guinea delegation emerged to announce they had chosen correctly and would be advancing through to the quarter finals to play garner and maully were going out. this is how the process worked two were placed in a pot, one containing the number two, one containing the number three and the beginning sports ministry correctly chose the one containing the number two
