11:04 pm
there were to be people out tonight. you know partying and whatever and would have been busy. one man got in the head of civilians. two police officers have been wounded. nothing serious. we were told that the gunmen fled on foot. there's confusion about whether we are dealing with two separate attacks or two separate gunmen. that's as much as we know at the moment. >> it's early. >> what do we know about the manhunt for this afternoon's shooter? >> this manhunt - danish police are scouring copenhagen and the surrounding areas. they have been looking in lakes in copenhagen to try to find any weapons, and there's a big police presence in central copenhagen now, and also the scene of the - the scene of the
11:05 pm
first attack. police put out a statement. they have not told people to stay indoors, they told them to be careful and remain calm. this is an unprecedented situation that we are looking at here in copenhagen. >> once again the latest development. one of the victims in the second shooting died. police have not identified the victims of the shooting. we'll continue to follow the story out of copenhagen another major story, a fragile ceasefire in ukraine, six hours in the truce. there are reports of violations on both sides. after 10 months of fighting there's hope that the violence may be over. just before midnight shelling was occurring in an area where the separatists vow never to give up their strategic location. ukranian's president said it could be the last chance for peace. >> translation: before minsk at the session of the cabinet of ministers i warned before if
11:06 pm
there is no peace, we may have to take the decision to impose martial law, a difficult but necessary decision. i underlined this again, and this event martial law will be imposed not only in donetsk. but across the whole country. >> the relative quiet coming after days of intensifying as separatists took control of the town giving them a link from donetsk to russia. charles stratford spoke to us from donetsk, after the ceasefire began. >> well it's an eerie silence here in - 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. certainly there's the big shelling the large-scale shelling that we see in recent weeks, seems to have stopped.
11:07 pm
we have spoken to local reporters around the region it seems to be holding not just here in donetsk, but reports that there's quiet in places like debaltseve in mariupol in various other locations including luhansk as well. it has not been like that throughout the day. this is our report. >> reporter: 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 the glass broke and we ran into the basement. we were sitting at home celebrating my daughter's
11:08 pm
birthday. and this happened. they were all people that lived here too. how can they live like this. shortly after, the separatist leader announced the ceasefire would not apply to the town of debaltseve. >> translation: we will stop fire in all the donetsk people's republic area except the external regions, debaltseve belongs to it. an attempt to break out will be considered a violation. any attempt will be stopped debaltseve has seen some of the most intense fighting in recent weeks. it's believed thousands of ukranian soldiers are surrounded by separatists. debaltseve is important. if separatists take it they'll have a direct railway link to russia. ukraine and the u.s. accuse russia of arming the separatist.
11:09 pm
the u.s. ambassador to ukraine published these pictures showing russian troops building up around the town. >> these statements by separatist leader do not bode well for the ceasefire deal. the status of the town so he says, was never mentioned in the minsk deal. this could be a stumbling block to the implementation of the truce. the fate of the ukranian soldiers in debaltseve - we'll see whether the fighting stops we invite you to join us in about 10 minutes as we take a deep are look at the situation in ukraine. if the ceasefire holds, what will the future hold for the region. the search for peace in a few moments. >> 1300 showed up at a police protest in washington state. 35-year-old antonio was throwing

11:14 pm
not to attend the rally, to leave it for the family, and protesters, to come out and have space to say their peace. so far things peaceful but we had tense moments early on. >> prior to this incident what is the relation like between the community and the police force? >> not great. we know that members of the hispanic community tried to reach out to police police tried to establish more communications. there has been problems in the past. there has been three other fatal shootings. they involved white males, who were knocked down by pascoe police. you talked about people saying it's not an issue of race or hispanic versus white, it's an issue of police. police are not doing their jobs.

11:16 pm
drop below zero. saturday night will be a bad time. we don't want people getting stuck. that's when bad things happen. >> it will be bad. the historic snow falls are expensive, costing state and local governments millions. >> coming up on al jazeera america - the shaky ceasefire in ukraine. we take a deeper look into how world leaders are seeking out a peaceful look into the violence. >> as cars become more computerized and connected to the internet a senator is sounding an alarm about possible hacking attempts on the road.

11:20 pm
several got jobs there. i work as a shop assistant. >> reporter: it houses 53 refugees down from a peak of 128. since december 1st they've been paying their own way after the russian government shut off financial support. thankfully most picked up work. >> home may be thousands of kilometres away. these days the internet keeps friends and family connected. >> >> translation: why didn't you leave? . >> translation: i didn't get the change to go >> translation: it's because of work. she had a job and salary now she can only work half a day. she wants to leave but can't. you need a permit to leave the city winter nights are long and cold. accommodation is cramped, as the man overseeing the building pointous, that is all preferable to what is going on at home.
11:21 pm
>> translation: the only motivation to stay or go is safety. if it's more safe they'll go. >> it's possible they'll graduate, find a job, start a family. ukraine will be a fading childhood memory. take a deeper look. talking more about the latest developments i'd like to welcome the director from the institute of democracy. and the associate dean of national affairs at the new school. and author. great to have you both was. >> thank you. >> this was a bitter pill for petro porashenko to sign it. was it the right thing to do? >> i think it was, i'm not sure it will hold 100%. we heard the rebels say they will not retreat from certain position and the peace
11:22 pm
agreement. they should go back to what the first agreement was in september 19th. he was right to sign it. he needs peace and to give his country a break and develop economically. >> was this a good deal for n.a.t.o. and europe. >> depends what europe and nato want in the region. i don't think they are happy about that. angela merkel and francis hollande are the living members of n.a.t.o. they are in favour the deal meaning it's a good deal for hem too. >> what issues are left out. >> this moment unfortunately, there is contradictory positions about - you know which is developing. unfortunately petro porashenko refused to recognise that his forces are in siege, and they could be destroyed completely.
11:23 pm
and he didn't want to recognise that which leaves an opportunity for different estimateses what is going on and how the situation develops because defense are not going to let them go. they want them to put their arms, and they can open a humanitarian corridor otherwise they destroy them totally. it will not be a violation of agreement, because petro porashenko refused to recognise that they are in siege. >> what if the ceasefire doesn't hold? >> well that will be a problem for every side. it's going to be messy for europe because they put a lot on the line. i don't think it will be a good thing for vladimir putin, it was the last piece of his credibility or possible credibility that was also on the line. it's bad for ukraine, because ukraine continues to fight the
11:24 pm
war that it can't win, and also as a possibility, larger wars could spillover for the ukraine, but further in europe. so if it doesn't hold i think everybody pretty much is a loser, except for possibly the rebels because they are the ones who create more havoc. >> this is vladimir putin's war, do we know what the end goal is. >> vladimir putin argues he's not involved in the law, and is not funding or supporting anything the rebels or what not. >> do you agree with that assessment. >> no. it's clear. it is his war. he would lose his credibility. in russia this have the war rhetoric, and ask the russians to surrender to that war rhetoric and say the west cannot be trusted. ukraine is in the hands of the
11:25 pm
nazis. they have been arguing. they are playing stalin grad battle. and they have to continue the fight. >> do you agree? >> i totally disagree. this is absurd to say this is vladimir putin's war, this is washington's. vladimir putin and russia's position is simply. protection of russian speakers there, keeping their language some self rule. this is the modest modest demands on behalf of russia washington and brussels turned that down. as a result we got what we got. russians and russians people decided they don't want to live in kiev where the nationalists took over. they organised an anti-constitutional coup. kicked out the legitimate
11:26 pm
president. after which the mess started in ukraine, which means this is short-sited approach. >> you say this is in vladimir putin's war, has vladimir putin done enough. unfortunately they didn't do enough. in russia a lot of public people demand him to intervene deeper stronger. this is the position because if they are not doing this russia is becoming like asaad the butcher. because according to german security sources - i don't know where they get this information - 50,000 killed. many others in america claimed that bashar al-assad is a
11:27 pm
butcher. nobody is telling petro porashenko he's a pucker. he has to stop shelling and this artillery and multiple rocket launchers, launching the rockets and killing the civilians. >> you are shaking your head. >> i am. petro porashenko is defending his country, of course there'll be casualties on his side. this war, at this point, is being fought on all sides dirty, because there's no rules for the war. very little humanitarian assistance intervention. sort of to respond to him here. russians sight that the russian language is in trouble. no one is attacking the russian language if not forbidden everyone could speak russian, as for the fascist forces that are taking over. mostly the conversations is about ultra nationalists which has less than 1% in the whole
11:28 pm
opposition movement. this is a convenient argument that you take one little point, one time mentioned and they blow it out of proportion and create really an incredible rhetoric of war, an incredible attack on the russian forces. when there was humanitarian aid. they were going to the ukranian territory or the rebel territory, most of those were going to the ukranian territory. >> do you see the u.s. taking a greater role. should they take a greater role in the conflict. >> i would like to say that that was the wrong statement. it is absolutely out of touch with going on with russian language in ukraine. totally annihilation of russian schools. limiting russian courses. and not letting and banning
11:29 pm
usage. russian language in official structures, even in regions where the speakers are. which means my colleague is out of touch. as far as the concerns washington - several times i mentioned that on different channels and in your channel that it's enough for president obama each vice president biden to pick up the phone and tell petro porashenko "stop killing your people", and it's enough. immediately this killing and mess could be stopped because for this he has to recognise the right of the people to speak in their language to keep their identity and to live in peace and decide in what language they want to speak. so for this they are not going towards their life. which is natural, for a democratic society.
11:30 pm
i think it was mentioned that you know frederic hollande and angela merkel were crazy when they talk about federalization. petro porashenko want to listen the word what happened why, what's the problem. it's another proof that this country is a failed state. never integrated internally and they are afraid that federalization will leave the country to collapse meaning it's not an established state. they have to use force to keep them together or they have to kill the people in order to force them to stay. which is of course the wrong direction. >> i think it would be a wrong idea. it will create a larger conflict spilling over into europe, and that's why angela merkel and president francis hollande were trying to make the
11:31 pm
last attempt and stop the conflict or top it. russia created conflicts. russia created conflict and ukraine has the right to defend its territory. >> how is petro porashenko viewed by ukrainians? >> i think he's losing popularity. there was some popularity. he was given the benefit of the doubt at the beginning. there's a lot of people i talk to that say there was a bigger promise, he can't take care of the conflict and in his defense, he's a good businessman, he is not a war president. it was difficult for him to do so. i think under the circumstances he's doing the best he can. he needs to stop the war. at this point i think if it is a bad deal for ukraine, it's better than no deal. >> there are different views on how to stop the conflict but
11:32 pm
what does a post conflict ukraine looks like? >> i think if there's agreements implemented, they have a chance to keep in some you know degree of territorial integrity of the country. if not, they don't have a future as an integrated state. this over there, and many after signing the agreement in minsk, they said that he doesn't have any right to sign any agreement which leads to constitutional changes in ukraine. but without constitution. without special status to the regions. without language rights. nobody can stop this, which means total distribution of ukraine as a state. >> i agree with yes. >> and your final thoughts on the future of ukraine. >> federalization as much as
11:33 pm
they don't want it it's a good solution. that's how they keep the ukranian territory. otherwise it will wage hot or frozen, but it would continue and only expand rather than reduce itself. >> we'll have to leave it there. under nick director of the institute for democracy and cooperation, thanks for joining us on "a deeper look." next why so many americans are leaving the state - ahead.
11:35 pm
>> america's first climate refugees >> this is probably a hurricane away from it being gone. >> who's to blame? >> 36% of land lost was caused by oil and gas industry... >> ...and a fight to save america's coastline. >> we have kinda made a deal with the devil >> fault lines al jazeera america's hard hitting... >> today they will be arrested... >> ground breaking... they're firing canisters of gas at us... award winning investigative documentary series... the disappearing delta only on al jazeera america following the top story out of denmark. police are investigating a second shooting outside a synagogue in copenhagen. three were shot one of the victims died. danish police are looking into whether the shooting is linked to an earlier attack at a speech forum. one man was killed three injured. the suspects in both escaped.
11:36 pm
the palestinian government asked to join in the investigation into the killing of three muslim students in chapel hill north carolina. the motivation for the killing is unclear. the palestinian foreign ministry branded the suspect, craig hits an extremist and hateful racist. the investigation has begun. >> local law enforcement are considering the possibility of charges in this case. police have prevented what would have been a suicide attempt in canada. three suspects planned a killing spree at a shopping center in halifax. two are in custody, including a 23-year-old from illinois. police surrounded his halifax home. >> based on what we know so far, it would have been devastating. mass casualties were a possibility. they are known to represent love and reflection mutt better
11:37 pm
meaning had it not been for the exceptional efforts. >> he appeared to be inspired by ideology, and it's not considered terrorism. >> federal agents are looking at what pressured a democrat to resign he is vetted over the role his fiance had in state government. there's suspicious that silvia hayes used her relationship for financial gain. the agent subpoenaed state records and emails pertaining to them and 15 others in the administration. he insists he did not break the law. the woman taking his place is the first bisexual governor. kate brown is orgone's secretary. brown has been open about being bisexual. turning to new jersey.

11:39 pm
that's what bucksport was about. now we have to find something else to be about. >> in the rural state, the decline of the natural industries combines dilemmas more deaths than burst. and a xingage of the median age. >> the -- shinkage of the median age. >> the truth is not that we drove the economy away but we did not make enough of one. the problem is being attacked by promoting the ingredients. >> we have great housing stock that is affordable. you can house for $125,000. things like that combined job opportunities, make it a place for a lot of young professionals. >> it may fall short in prime factors for growing population. hispanics whose birth right is higher than other groups and
