hello, robin adams. south africa's cricketers hoping for their matches coming up later in the program. ♪ ♪ it's good to have you with us. it's been one hours since a cease-fire began in ukraine between government forces and pro-russia separatists. so far it seems to be holding. but in the run-up to the deadline there was intention fighting around the street emergencyic town of develsada. ukraine withian pet two poroshenko called for the armed forces to hold fire. >> these negotiations were at the highest level possible. at this time the other party will observe the terms of the agreement with the necessary attention and responsibility.

>> charles stratford joins me live from donetsk. charles, is the cease-fire holding? >> well, it's an eerie silence here in eastern ukraine. it's the first time we have had anything like this in recent weeks. i say that. as we say that now i can hear a little bit of small arms fire in the distance but this certainly, the big shelling the large scale shelling that we have seen in recent weeks seems to have stopped. we have spoken to local reporters around the region as well. it seems to be holding not just here in donetsk but reports that there is a quiet in places like debulseve, in mauriopl and lundqvist as well. but it hasn't been like that throughout the day. this is our report. lin

lin. we were waiting for a news conference to start when the first dull thud of a shell exploding 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. >> 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 old people who live here too. how can they live like this? >> shortly after the separatist leader alexander zakashenko said the cease fire would not apply to the town. >> we will stop fire in all of the donetsk's people's republic

territory except for region options. any violations willing against the minsk agreement. any attempts will be stopped. debelsuva has seen intention fighting in recent weeks. it's believed thousands of ukrainian soldiers are surrounded there by separatists. debelsuve is the important. if the separatists take it, they will have a direct railway link to russia. ukraine and the u.s. accuse russia of arming the separatists. it's a claim that russia denies. the u.s. ambassador to ukraine published these pictures which washington says show russian troops building up around the town of debelsuve. these statements by separatist leader alex andander zakachenko do not bode well for the cease-fire. he says this town was never mentioned in the minsk deal.

this could prove a major stumbling block for the implementation of this truce. >> the fate of the soldiers in develsuve may well determine whether the fighting stops. >> you were mentioning before your report there, you were hearing some small arms fire. what happens if the cease-fire doesn't hold? >> reporter: well it has massive implications if this doesn't hold, both for ukraine and the wider region. as we have been reporting. there is a massive amount of distrust between both sides in this conflict, and failures of previous cease-fire agreements. one thing we do know there was an announcement that the ukrainian president made earlier this evening. he said if the cease-fire doesn't hold he would call for martial law across all of ukraine's territory. now, exactly what that would involve remains to be seen. sentially a wider definition of martial law would include things

like curfews, would potentially include the commandeering of infrastructure for the utes of military and a repress of media freedoms as well. there are huge implications for this both locally and on a wider regional scale. as i say, the record so far in terms of these cease-fires holding has not been good. but so far, certainly over an hour into it in donetsk, things are relatively peaceful. >> charles stratford us live in donetsk. thanks very much indeed. denmark is on high alert as police hunt for a gunman who killed one person and wounded three others in copenhagen copenhagen. police have released a photo of the gunman responsible for what they say was a politically motivated attack. he targeted a public meeting, an art and freedom of speech organized by a controversial swedish cartoonishist.

he has been under police protection since publishing at that cartoon featuring the prophet mohammed since 2007. >> after an afternoon on free speech turned violent leaving one civilianded and a police officer badly injury. >> been hit by a very serious act of violence tonight. we feel certain now that it is a politically motivated attack and, thereby, it is a terrorist attack. we take this situation extremely seriously. we are in a high alarm all over the country, and our main priority at this stage is to catch the perpetrators and make sure we find them as soon as possible. >> guests including the french ambassador sent tweet did saying they were under fire but still alive as the gunman tries to storm the building spraying the cafe with shots when he couldn't get in.

controversial swedish cartoonist lars vilks is said to have organized the debate. he hid as police did battle with a heavily armed gunman ultimately surviving the attack. some are calling the shooting an attempt on his life. he already lives under constant police protection. the french ambassador told reporters he and other guests threw themselves on the floor to stay alive as bullets came through the windows. the french and syrian minister is said to be on his way to denmark. the prime minister tweets of his solidarity with the danes calling the shooting an attack on freedom. a massive manhunt is underway with danish police scouring to capture the suspected gunman the danish prime minister has called for unity in what he has said will be difficult coming days. christinea mayer, al jazeera,

copenhagen copenhagen. >> a journalist at t.v. 2 denmark joins us now by skype from copenhagen copenhagen. thank you for being with us. first of all, what's the latest that you know about for the hunts for the attacker? >> the latest we have heard is that divers are looking for possibly the weapon. we are aware >> we have had a few near misses where where the terrorists or the

stackers didn't succeed in killing anyone. but we have had a few episodes looking scareily much like this. >> how likely is it that people in denmark are going to be a lot more careful in the future withholding debates on freedom of speech? >> i am sure the security will probably be beefed up after this, but debates like this whether have a lot of security. we know at least three police officers were at the scene before the attacker came. there was there was a great deal of security mainly because the cartoonist at the center of all of this. there must be questions asked about whether or not that security was actually in any way affected, given the fact the gunman was able to do what he

did. probably too early to speculate on what could have happened how effective the security was. >> finally this, there are allegations, suggestions about the identity of the attacker. this is going to raise some tension, isn't it, between some of the culturesn within denmark. isn't it? >> it might. there has been a few petitions, tweeting or face booking about this in calling for more border control, calling for harsher penalties for doing stuff like this. but they have all been forced to apologize for politicizing the situation at this early hour. >> the journalist at t.v. 2 denmark. thanks very much indeed for

stories. ukraine's president petro poroshenko has ordered his forces to ends fighting as part of a cease-fire with pro-russia rebels. major battles have ended. there have been reports of gunfire in the east of the country. denmark is on high alert as police hunt for a gunman who killed one person and wounded three others in copenhagen copenhagen. he targeted a seminar on freedom of speech organized by a controversial cartoonist. thousands of people have rallied across yemen against last last week's houthi coup. it comes as talks take place with the former president. now more on our top story, the much anticipated cease-fire in eastern ukraine. let's take a closer look at the deal. it's known as minsk ii. it came into effect at midnight local time gmt, roughly 19 minutes ago. two sides have agreed to pull back heavy artat within 4 days.

all fourteen fighters and their weapons are to leave ukraine. there is going to be a demil tarized zone of at least 50 kilometers 2010 the twosized along the agreed front lines. all prisoners are to be exchanged within five days of the cease-fire and if the withdrawal is successful local elections are going to take place in the rebel-held donetsk and luhansk region but under ukrainian law. if ukraine grants more power to the east it will regain control of the border. >> includes allowing those regions to form their own police force and to trade freely with russia. christopher chivis is social director of defense policy at the rrand corporation. it advises western governments. thank you for being with us. we were hearing from our correspondent, charles stratford earlier on about the heavy fighting in the rung-up to the cease-fire. how likely is it do you think, that this cease-fire is going to hold?

>> well, there is no way. i hate to predict for sure but obviously the fact that there has been heavy fighting does not give us a lot of confidence. i think also the fact that clearly there were russian forces within ukraine in recent months is also a signal of -- it should make us wonder whether or not the criminallen is genuinely interested in a cease-fire in ukraine. it may be interested in a cease-fire in the short-term but over the long-term, i think it's unclear that russia really wants to see this horrible war come to an end. >> we have heard a lot about the russian involvement or non-involvement, whatever the claim, in terms of the ukrainian fighting. what about the western influence in this? the west is being -- playing a very quiet role in supporting ukraine. hasn't it? >> yeah. the western world has focused largely on economic political and institutional support to ukraine. the ukrainian state is fairly week. is it has problems with corruption and the approach of the west has largely been to

focus on strengthening ukraine so that it can be resilient in theface of the russian invasion. the debate has changed significantly. i think you hear a growing number of people certainly here in washington who are arguing that that's just not enough and that the west needs to think about providing weapons to the ukrainian government so that they can defend themselves against -- against the russian invasion. >> we have a cease-fire at the moment. of course, a cease-fire doesn't necessarily change the opinions of people who already hold very strong positions in the ukraine, both pro-russian and nationalistic. where do they go? what concessions can be made to bring those two sides together whilst the cease fire continues to hold? >> well i think that's another one of the big questions. and you are right. there are factions on both sides who may or may not decide that they want to go along with this cease-fire. part of it has to do with questions of amnesty and who is

going to be grabbed amnesty as part of the cease-fire process plays out. but i think that as in all cases like this the ability of both the russians and the ukrainians to control all of their forces on the ground is one of the biggest factors that will determine whether or not the cease-fire actually holds. >> that's really a key question isn't it? because russia has always maintained that it doesn't have any influence on the ground and yet if it does start to the exact some influence, then presumably, that's going -- that's simply an admission that they have that control and they always have had that control. does that leave them in a very difficult position? >> i mean, i think that at this point, anyone who duties that russia is actively involved with russian forces on the ground on ukraine's territory probably has not been paying a lot of attention to this. it's very clear that russian forces have been playing a key role. now, that doesn't mean necessarily that they control all of the different groups that

are fighting in eastern ukraine for their autonomy. so, i think that it's possible that both actually can be true. russia can be involved and they also can't control all of the separatists. >> christopher chivvis, associate director for international security and defense policy at the rand corporation, really interesting to get your input. thank you very much indeed for your time. >> thank you. >> now for many ukraineians who have left their homes, any cease-fire is already too late since the fighting began almost one year ago hundreds of thousands of people have fled to russia. about 40,000 have sought reffege in the rostof region. officials there say they have taken up to 200 refugees a day. some of them live in temporary accommodations. others are sent on to cities around western russia. thousands of kilometers from their homeland. errorrory challands reports from the arctic city of lumansk.
