4:07 pm
firing at least a magazine into the police officers. a strong shootout somewhere and probably the desire of the attacker to go out in a suicidal act. again as we have seen in previous incidents including boston and including in paris. obviously security forces high alert, very much trying to keep an eye for one individual, very, very difficult in these circumstances. we will be working very hard to look at his network to try to see who he might be connected to, who it might be and really activating every source they have to try to get leads because at the moment they are probably scrambling. >> this is the problem of knowing if this was one attacker working on his own, influenced by who knows what. >> right. >> or whether he has some connection to any group. no claim of responsibility has to be said. >> no. but i wouldn't be surprised to see some sort of linkage. what we are seeing you can have a lone attacker but definitely inspired by a group such as al-qaeda and it also the" in the
4:08 pm
arabian "penguins of madagascar." i think underlying this is a desire of groups like islamic state, a real change in strategy to try to drive a wedge in the west between muslims and between western -- normal western society and trying to force them to take sides. the danger after something like this, it affects the debate around free speech and drives activists, right-wing groups who think they are protecting their culture and playing into what these jihadist groups want whether or not they have been directly involved. as we tend to find there are often some linkages we can trace-back to syria and countries, the theaters of jihad and sometimes less than one would expect and more of a self-motivated persons. it's a huge range of threats for security to deal with. >> in scanned navy i can't is known as a tolerant quite liberal, quitefree nation?
4:09 pm
>> now whether that's part of the strategy on behalf -- well maybe a lone actor, whether it's just the fact this is seen as a very legitimate act of revenge against someone who has insulted the prophet, islam, is a long-running and the country is seen as having cross did did the line still targeting a strat oofrnlingic railway hub, charles

stratedford is in donetsk and experienced firsthand another day of escalating violence. >> reporter: we were waiting for a news conference to start when the first dull thud of a shell was heard. as we left the building there was another bang. and much closer this time. one of the shells hit a residential area near a children's playground. >> translator: we heard several explosions. all of the glass broke. we ran into the basement. we were sitting at home celebrating my daughter's birthday and this happened. there are people who live here too. how can they live like this? >> reporter: shortly after the separatist leader announced a cease-fire would not apply to the town of dubulsavik.
4:11 pm
>> we will stop fire in all of the donetsk people's territory except for internal regions. any attempt by ukrainian forces to break out will be considered a violation of the minsk agreement. obviously any attempts will be stopped. >> it has seen some of the most intense fighting in recent weeks. it's believed thousands of ukrainian soldiers are surrounded there by separatists. at a time is strategically important. the if the separatists take is it they will have a direct railway link to russia. ukraine and the u.s. accuse russia of arming the separatists, but it's a claim that russia denies. the u.s. am bass tore to ukraine published these pictures which washington says show russian troops building up around the town of debulseve. these statements by separatist leader alexander zakashinko do not bodes well for the
4:12 pm
cease-fire deal. the state of the town was never mention did, he says in the minsk deal. this could be a major stumbling block for the truce. >> the fate of the ukrainian soldiers t seems, may now determine whether the fighting stops. charles stratford, al jazeera, dondon eastern ukraine. >> charles joins us live from donetsk. less than an hour charles until the staff of this cease-fire. tell us what the situation is looking like now. >> reporter: as you can probably see, it's a very eerie night here a lot of freezing fog. in the last hour hour and a half the shelling has increased. we have heard what sound to be both incoming and outgoing shelling from around donetsk. we are also hearing reports that there has been am continuation of that intention battle around the town of debulsevea continuation really of the last two days.
4:13 pm
and it seems as if both sides in this conflict have used this period between the truce being signed and it potentially being implemented to either consolid consolidator build on their positions. we left the debulseve area today this morning and as we came back across the front line it was evidence there were a lot more restrictions amongst the ukrainian military and the way they were enforcing their checkpoints checkpoints. there was also mortars being set up by separatists on their checkpoints. we spoke to a separatist there. he told us that he expected things to get a lot louder as he said as night fell. it certainly seems as if that is happening as we speak. >> there hasn't been much optimism of success ahead of this cease-fire deadline. people are already looking now ahead as to what will happen if the cease-fire does fail.
4:14 pm
>> that's right. everyone we have spoken to certainly on this side of the conflict here in donmas have very little hope very little trust in the ukrainian government a lot of finger pointing. you could say the same thing of the people we have spoken to on the other side as well. as evidence suggests there has been such a large troop buildup and a push by the separatists in recent days that it certainly doesn't bode well and then we have had these comments over the last couple of hours from the separatist leader. it's also worth pointing out that the ukrainian president, petro poroshenko said if this truce fails, he would call for martial law across all of the ukrainian territory. what, in fact that would involve remains to be clear, but martial law usual looks at things like increased military operations curfews, instructions -- restrictions of
4:15 pm
the military. so certainly, there is very little optimism at this stage as we are -- as you say, just under an hour now away from the cease-fire potentially being complemented that in fact it will go forward. with words like that from the ukrainian president about martial law, the i am politic indications for a wider, more long-lasting peace agreement seem pretty slim at this stage. >> charles stratford live with the latest from donetsk. thanks charles. still to come ol this newshour italy says it is prepared to intervene in libya as isil supporters claim to have captured the city of sirt. >> the aftermath of a strike by boka haram fighters in chad as nigerian fighters say they have fought off an attack by the armed group. >> no place like home for aaron finch as he notches up a big score against eng lands in the cricket world cup.

4:33 pm
everybody was running, and i had been pulled by one of the danish journalist who grabbed me and we were running. we were running outside, and everybody was hiding in the places where they could. and some minutes after police arrived and surrounded the place and everybody was evacuated from the room and from the area nearby. >> it sounds like the gunman didn't actually manage to get into the room where you were speaking. is that right? >> exactly. >> he was outside? >> exactly. he couldn't manage to enter the room but definitely he was trying, and that was the goal of his, i think. nobody will doubt that. and to be honest to say that we could be -- should be thankful for not having at least 40 -- 40 victims of this event, 40 people right here with me at the police station who survived who have
4:34 pm
not been injured, we should thank for surviving, we should thank policemen who have been injured and who have been protecting the place. the event was protected by police and there was security and obviously, of course there was expectation that something could happen because of the panelists copenhagen. the fact that they would be there, the fact i would be there and, also it was anounced in the program of the event. so obviously, police expected that something could happen. and, yeah, i just can't express my, you know i can just thank the policemen for being there and protecting the event and obviously because of the fact that they were working there and protecting the event, we don't have more victims today. >> inna was this meeting
4:35 pm
actually open to the public? was it widely advertised? did a lot of people know about it? >> well it was -- it was promoted on the website of the committee and i tweeted about it today on my personal twitter and i cannot say that this was one of the biggest events. to be honest i was expecting, after losing 12 ideological brothers and dearest friends from charlie heb to do i would expect something could happen but to be honest i couldn't expect that this could happen here in denmark and copenhagen copenhagen. but i think that today, after this event, we definitely should make clear that there is no such place as safe europe any more and we should make clear for ourselves thatcud krudttoenden. we should continue to organize more and morents like this to be as brave with our ideas as

more details now on other main story this hour the violence ahead of the cell phonease nigher ukraine. with me isted see. he is an expert on conflicts worldwide. thanks so much for coming in to al jazeera. is there any more chance that this cease-fire is going to succeed in the way that the cease-fire back in september last year failed? >> i think not. the main reason is that there is a fundamental and deep division mon ukrainian society between those who favor more contact with the west and those who favor continued ties economically and complicly withshay. until those divisions are addressed, i don't see a lasting peace. i hope the shooting remains, you know, out of bounds because of the cease-fire for as long as possible. i don't think we are seeing the seeds, here of a permanent solution. >> how much depends upon how much influence russia actually has on the pro-russia
4:38 pm
separatists operating inside ukraine. russia says it hasn't been helping them. how big is the influence over these rebels on the ground? >> it's hard to say, really because you are only talking about some 17% of ethnic russians in ukraine, itself as opposed to about 78% of ethnic ukrainians. clearly, there is a lot more sentiment for russia than just among ethnic russians. so to split out these groups by population is a mistake, i think. you've got two parts of society which are rather closely divided. we have seen that in the last few e lex results, elections certified as free and fair and in which the pro-russia fact action won out more often than not. we have a fundamental division here that i think, more than any sort of minutae of the cease fire agreement or what might happen, you know by putin picking up the telephone and calling someone, we need to see those basic underlying concerns answered before we see a lasting peace. >> a cease-fire i was reading

through is terrible complex about certain areas borders, de demil tarized, et cetera. are we knowthough creeping towards a stage where ukrainians are going to eventually be divided? crimea is annexed. there is this divide among ukraineians. is that where this is going? >> thank you for coming in. thank you. an anti-corruption activist has been sworn in as chief minister of india's capital in his oath taking ceremony he promised to make india's first
