e. tuesday, 10:00 eastern. only on al jazeera america. >> announcer: this is al jazeera. this is the newshour these are the top stories - police in denmark shoot and kill the person believed to be behind two attacks in copenhagen. security concerns after explosives found at a political meeting against a houthi coup a fragile ceasefire in ukraine as both sides blame each other for violating the truce, plus... >> i'm nick clark reporting from

the far east of russia. find out why we are following the tracks of this vehicle that made its way through the snow we begin the newshour in copenhagen where the danish prime minister helle thorning-schmidt has been commenting on the shootings in the city. they say they have shot the man believed to be behind two attacks. two were killed and five police officers wounded after the attacks. they say they were on the street the city is on high alert. we have the latest. >> reporter: danish police say the body is of the man behind two attacks in the capital copenhagen. he was shot near a train station as he arrived near an address under surveillance. >> translation: we suspect the same perpetrator is behind both shootings, and we believe that

the person shot near norreport is the same perpetrator. >> reporter: earlier this still of a man was released captured on security cameras, and they say c c.t.v. played a crucial role. the streets of the capital are cordoned off and security forces in charge. it began with an attack at the cafe. controversial cartoonist who drew car catures started the debate. a few hours later, another shooting this time at a synagogue. >> the police entered the streets just in front. wearing helmets and rifles. we looked out the window and saw a guy laying on one side. it amounts to a terrorist attack. >> denmark has been hit by a serious act.

we feel certain now it was a politically motivated attack a terrorist attack. we take this situation extremely seriously. we have - we are in a high alarm all over the country, and our main priority at this stage is to catch the perpetrator, finding them as soon as possible. >> many diplomats at the cafe argue what happened in denmark, likening it to the attack on a magazine in january let's go to nick spicer joining us live from copenhagen. nick we know that the danish prime minister has been addressing the nation. what has she had to say? >> she said a little about the

motive of the attacker. she said no one would get away with attacking a democratic and free society like denmark, and not a clash between muslims and non-muslims, but a clash of values. she said the police had done a good job to ensure the security of the citizens of denmark, in the wake of the police announcement that they got the man responsible for the two attacks. she said also that she would be following developments closely and expressed her condolences for the families of the victim. >> she said that denmark is on high alert. no doubt there's security in the streets of copenhagen. are there similar attacks taking place? >> i think any kind of event of this nature taking place in a

country which is like other scandinavia, famous for a democratic life. there's fear that it would happen again. many tell you since 2005, when the caricature's of prophet muhammad were published, many have been expecting something like this could happen particularly in the wake of the "charlie hebdo" attacks in paris last month. maybe it needs to be pointed out that denmark participated in military campaigns in afghanistan and iraq and people will tell you that they think it's another motive for people to launch attacks on their country. >> like you said people were expecting such an attack to happen given the controversy involved. but as they await the news there has been a shooting in the

capital. >> you know the story is it took 14 hours to unfold. it began with an attack on a cafe call center. where a debate on free speech was taking place, and the earlier report was at 3:33:00p.m. local time. a little later there was an attack on a synagogue, and the alleged giller has shot at around 5am in the morning. so it took - there may be people who don't even though that this is going on it happened so quickly. the police got their man with such speed. most people will have heard about it. it's wall to wall news. it's early sunday coming up on noon local time. people i think, are relieved of course. fearful that it might happen again in the coming days. especially when you see all the police out on the street armed.

it's not something that people are used to seeing. >> nick thank you. nick spicer on the events in copenhagen now, to yemen where explosives have been found at the venue of a political meeting. talks have now been postponed. the meeting brought together the different factions. they were protesting against the election of leaders from the north. let's go to the port say of aden in southern yemen. tell us about the explosives. >> it is a significant development. it has been one of the more peaceful stays. since the tur noil mile.

the -- turmoil. the meeting was an attempt by a variety of groups aiming to restore what is legitimate government. they chose the area because it's been in yemen, but it appears there are those who are not wanting the northerners to come here. they don't want the problems of the north exported to the south. those here do not want responsibility for the planting of the problems. all we know is the explosives were found before the meeting, as a result the meeting was cancelled. on the ground there has been protests by southerners, particularly those opposed to

like i say, the north, and calling, saying they will get involved in yemen, and they want their leaders here in the south to call for separation and independence. >> jamal, where does this leave the talks? is it cancelled, or has it. we are holding the talks, it's been postponed. they are going to issue a statement imminently possibly in the next hour to declare their position. they have other alternative venues for some. it is a strong civil society. there it is seen as an intellectual hub in yemen, they could decide maybe to shift the talks over there. and here. there is a real need amongst the

people believing some sort of need to take place, otherwise the only alternative to the talks is violence really. >> jamal reporting from southern yemen. >> japan has reported $15 million in aid has been pledged to fight i.s.i.l. and an additional $2 million. japan says the money will go through international organisations to countries, including iraq. two japanese hostages were killed by i.s.i.l. fighters. meanwhile, the i cannery government sent -- iraqi government send reinforcements to al-baghdadi after it was captured by the islamic state of iraq and levant. the pentagon played down the attack as minor. it put i.s.i.l. fighters close to the air base where more than

300 american troops are training fighters. >> they certainly did get close to the base. i can't sit here and tell you the degree to which it was breached. i just - we don't have all the detail. they certainly did, either at the perimeter of the base. i think it's important they were aided by members. iraqi army the 7th inventory of the iraqi army and all were killed. we don't have any indications. we don't have indications right now of iraqi casualties as well two political blocks in the parliament say that they are spending their participation in government. the announcement comes after a new tribal leader.

kassam was among a group kidnapped and murdered. warnings that imran khan's report contains images some viewers may find disturbing. >> iraq's plunged into political turmoil as two parties in parliament after 12 sunnis were found. one mp warned the government of dire consequences. >> we warn against those trying to conceal the perpetrators this will be considered as a message that the crime happened opening the gate to a full-blown war that will never end. >> the united nations assistance in iraq also responded, issuing a statement saying: whilst there's no indication who might be responsible, it sent shock waves through baghdad. it's alleged the men were

kidnapped by militia, at a checkpoint and tape to an unknown -- taken to an unknown location. one was released. 12 bodies were put in separate elections across the capital. the government launched an investigation with tensions running high. and blame on the shia militia for the murders. that will do little to placate the sunies. -- sunnis. >> let's look at the iraq situation. the new parliament is made up of 328 seats. the withdrawal of the main sunni alliance represents a fifth of the parliament. as seen here, they were in control. it's a coalition led by a former prime minister al-maliki state of law group, and has a majority 73 members. it is the other main group with

62 seats. we go to the london school of economics. there'd been a glimmer of hope until now. is it rite that the two sunni blocs withdraw? >> they are not saying that. they are saying that parliament will suspend, why the vice president, the other ministers are continuing in the government. nothing about wrong declarations. >> tell us what impact would

the suspension have for them? >> well i doubt whether it will have any impact on the government. unless this suspension was joined by the kurdish block which made the numbers, suspending the participation. well, around half of the parliament but without the participation of any other group, this does not stop the work of the parliament. or put stops to their work prime minister haider al-abadi promised a unity government when he came into office. in your opinion, is he doing enough to include the sunnis in the democratic process. >> his word is not much or his

actions. i think the killing of the day before is very dangerous incident to happen. mr haider al-abadi promised in the past to take action and created commissions of inquiries, but no commission whatsoever was come. yesterday's crime was terrible. he was a moderate man, a conciliatory man. and northern trialal at least together from different areas. the other strategic evidence is someone killed was a son who had a ph.d. from glasgow

university. 11 members of the same family same tribe, sorry were body guards. now the government has said nothing about - apart from condemnation. >> we'll have to leave it there. thank you so much for your insight. from the london school of economics. much more to come on the newshour - including we tell you why many distressed tamil sri lankans are looking to the new president for help. >> south africa - a unique afterschool programme is trying to meet the education needs of some of johannesburg's children. and 1 billion people around the world are watching pakistan in the cricket world cup. farah will be here later with the latest in sport.

now, government forces in ukraine, and pro-russian rebels are accusing each other of violating a ceasefire after it began. both sides agreed to the truce in the capital. the ukranian president ordered the army to stop operations on saturday. >> these negotiations were at the highest level. this time the other party will observe the terms of the agreement with the necessary tension and responsibility. >> charles stratford joins us on the line from kiev 60km. charles, earlier there'd been reports of the ceasefire being broken. what are you seeing? we may have lost charles there.

we'll get him back to get the latest from on the ground in ukraine. still with ukraine, where many ukrainians have left their homes, for them the ceasefire comes too late. since the fighting began. about 40,000 have sought refuge in the rovt okay region. some are housed in temporary accommodation in rovt ov. rory challands went to the arctic city of minsk, the home for many refugees. it's been seven months since this family left eastern ukraine. they left behind their house and everything in it. now they share a room in a college dormitory. they hadn't a spoon or fork when

they arrived, but this family doesn't do complaining. >> he started working as a builder. he got work at the fort. a representative from the company game and said he needed men. guys from the dorm got jobs. i work as a shop assistant. >> there are 53 ukranian refugees gown from a peak of 12 # -- down from a peak of 128. since december the 1st they've been paying their own way after the russian government stopped support. thankfully most picked up work. the internet keeps friends and families connected. this woman is getting news from luhansk. >> translation: why didn't you leave? >> translation: i didn't get the chance to go. >> translation: it's because of work. she had a job and now they can only work half a day. they want to leave, but they can't. they need a permit to leave the

city >> reporter: the night are long. it's colder. not all are happy with ukranian refugees, and the accommodation is cramped. as the man overseeing the building points out. all of that is prefable to back home. >> translation: for them to stay or go. they'll stay. >> reporter: he is now working at a local school. he's hoping to gradual find a job. ukraine will be a fading memory. he is in grade 3 i believe we have established communication again with charles stratford, who is from sheldon keefe. 60km from donetsk. now, tell us what you have been seeing there? >> well yes, as you say, we are in an area about 10km from

debaltseve. we spoke about an hour and a half ago, to someone around the debaltseve area where there was a lot of shelling. they mentioned the town. separatists said they have taken control of only this week. he said that there was - we have spoken in the last few minute to a local source close to the town which is in indian controlled territory. that person telling us that they are here as well. we have to be careful to report this. in our experiences, in relation to this location 10km as the crow flies, since we've been here it's been very quiet indeed. we would be able to hear heavy

artillery shelling. certainly the separatist bases that we have been to separatists seem for want of a better description seem to be celebrating the truce. as we know it could easily change at any moment. >> unpredictable situation. thank you. charles stratford there, speaking from kiev. now, 21 egyptian christians captured in libya are calling on the government do more. there are concerns about fighting of those loyal to islams. gerald tan has the details. >> reporter: a sit in outside the cathedral in cairo. 21 egyptian workers kidnapped in

libya called for help. >> translation: we urge mr president it exert our utmost to bring our children home. we elected and love him. >> translation: whenever we get news we panic because we don't know whether they are alive or dead, or what is happening exactly. >> the men are fighters from the islamic state of iraq and levant. there were attacks in the libyan sit of sert in december and january, dressed in jumpsuits with their hands tied behind their backs, released on social media. >> the public causes confusion for us. have they been killed? >> reporter: on saturday the egyptian foreign minister issued conflicting reports that the men had been killed. >> they are doing everything possible to ascertain what the situation is to find through

our contacts to many of the libyan entities the possibility of dealing with extracting the egyptians but libya's general congress had heard reports. >> translation: to the latest reports, we have ordered app investigation. as of now, there's no confirmation of their whereabouts or condition. the egyptian government has not communicated with the libyan government directly or indirectly with that regard. >> reporter: there's also the issue of authority. the i.s.i.l.-affiliated fighters say they have got control of cert among concerns about the fate of the students two al jazeera journalists

are out on bail after 411 cause in gaol in egypt. but their fight for justice is not over quote. mohamed fadel fahmy and baher mohamed are accused of helping the muslim brotherhood. their previous conviction was thrown out. the retail set for february 23rdrd. al jazeera is calling on the court to dismiss the case and release them unconditionally. >> picture are emerging of the aftermath of an attack carried out by boko haram fighters in chad. seven were killed friday ind clueing a local -- including a local village chief. it's 20km north of where boko haram is active. the u.n. asked for humanitarian access to the thousands displaced by the boko haram violence. >> with the violence that operation north-east nigeria,

spilling over. we are calling for urgent humanitarian access and for the people to provide urgently needed assistance. for many refugees it calls for aid workers. they are terrified a check on the weather. you have an update on snowy conditions in the north of america. >> i have. they are fed up with it now. it's no surprise to be honest. boston has set the record. 2 meters and a bit above is what was recorded. it is to come. this is from yesterday it was almost futileful clearly at that point the cloud wound its way offshore. this is when the storm deepens. now, the wind is in the north and it is strong. the snow will fall. the cold air has been there for

a while. boston is about minus 8 sitting here. it meets up with warmer stuff from the south. that was the next problem. by the end of the day, the snow would have stopped falling. the temperature at its highest, but with significant windchill. taking it to the next 24 hours, that's will forgettable. we are running up another massive snow. now, at the same time temperatures are minus 17 in new york but that has to go somewhere else. guess where it's going? in the same direction. it's not over yet. >> thank you. still ahead on al jazeera - not everyone is happy with the growing numbers of chinese

making shopping trips to hong kong. man versus machine - a new-type of surgery is helping people with a loss of limbs. >> in sport, does kazakhstan have what it takes to host the 2022 olympic games. have a look at their bid. it's frustrating being stuck in the house. good thing xfinity's got 2 hour appointment windows. they even guarantee they'll be on time or i get a $20 credit. it's perfect for me... ...'cause i got things to do. ♪ ♪ oh, yeah! woooo! with a guaranteed 2 hour appointment window and a 97% on-time rate xfinity is perfect for people with a busy life.

welcome back a reminder of the top stories. the danish prime minister called two shooting attacks an attack on democracy.

police killed a man who was behind the attacks at a cafe at a synagogue. two were killed, five injured. explosives have been found at talks for houthi - several separatists rejected the meeting the ceasefire in ukraine seems to be holding hours after coming in effect. this is defying separatists of accusing each other, mainly in the town of detect. president petro porashenko told his arm ni to stop midnight local time on saturday let's get more from the situation in ukraine. joining me from london is a lecturer of war studies at kings college, london. thank you for being with us. separatist alexander does not

consider his area being covered by the agreement. how long do you see the ceasefire lasting? >> i think it's very difficult to know what happened because, as we mentioned. it was a key strategic up to very much covered. but in theory they should withdraw at least heavy armory from the area. so to a certain extent you know it should, in a way - conditions are there for a ceasefire to hold. a lot will depend on the willingness on the sides actually to reach or go ahead with that decision. >> reporter: now, this agreement by russian president vladimir putin as well - how serious to you think is russia about supporting a ceasefire. >> i think russia is eager to

reach a settlement. the leader of the ukraine and russia want to reach an agreement, and to reach democracy, but there are a lot of challenges ahead. one is the fact that we don't have a clear picture of the ceasefire. it's in the hands of the oec. they have numbers to observe and are in a position to prevent violence from escalating. so the only way to really make it work is with a proper presence or a peacekeeping force. that has not been envisaged, and it's not clear which would be used. there's also the border between russia and ukraine which will be given back at the end of the

year after an agreement is reached on the state of the region. there is a bit of contradiction, and i don't think - i don't think that the league of debaltseve and donetsk will be happy with the region if the borders are not clear. there's a lot of challenges ahead. >> indeed as you say, and so much to talk about. thank you so much for your insight. speaking to us from london. now, sri lanka's new president is set to arrive in india for a first trip since taking office. he is likely to bring up the issue of thousands of tamil refugees living in india. as reported in northern sri

lanka tamils are still displaced within their own country. >> for the last 25 years, this man had to live in this camp. his home and temple are within large attractions like this taken over by the sri lankan military during the 30 year conflict. >> the rites that my family performed during the generations, despite losing our temple. i'm pleading with the guards to take us back to our lands. >> reporter: this woman is another who wants to return to her village. she said the year in temporary housing, the lack of facilities have been difficult. >> translation: when they go to play our children are identified as camp kids. no matter how well they do in school, the label stakes and they always belittled. >> reporter: sri lanka's new

president promised to give these people their land back if they are not a threat to national security. people that lived in camps like this for three generations are cautious. they heard these promises before. this time there is hope hope that the new president will deliver. their homes and fields have been taken over by the military especially to build hotels and grow vegetables as part of a campaign promise. the government announced it would give back 400 hectares of land. >> we don't want to compromise security. no way. the only land that exists by the government by the army the lands would be given back. >> the announcement comes a few days ahead. and he is likely to be defeated.

there are tens of thousands of tamils in india - many who want to go back like gabriel and his family. >> translation: they must have somewhere to come back to. >> reporter: it's an issue the new president appears to have recognised in his attempt at reconciliation in a country after a long bloody war india - 13 people have been killed and two injured after a building under construction collapsed in the northern said of you'der pradesh -- upper practisedish. two children belonged to the same family. police are investigating what led to the collapse. more children in south africa are attending private schools. the number of public schools

shrank. the number of private schools rose by 44%. as tania page explains much of that growth is because of low school fees catering to poor families. >> reporter: rain pelts children director a johannesburg storm. it won't keep them away from an afterschool programme. the city is dangerous, so security is tight. >> this is a safe space. it's called the street light school. the focus is more wholistic created education. >> she has to have more options. next year she'll be charged a small fee, making it one of a growing number of low fee schools in johannesburg. like thousands of others. she moved to the city for work. people make more strain.

there isn't enough space at school for all the city's children. low fee private schools are at urban bases. this building was a shoe factory before being converted into housing. 110 tanned. -- live here. the children attend this unique school. >> they are developing characters storing. the curriculum is narrow. there's plenty of space for imaginative techniques. one education rights groups say private schools are not looking at the education issues. >> the private education takes a load off the public system. in that way it's saving money. generally, ideally they want the public education to support everyone. so that no one will have to seek

private education. >> it end with a seconding, and the certainty that outweighs supply in public schools. the only way for parents to ensure the children's education is taking a different pro. nows out of hong kong as many as 20,000 mainland chinese cross to take good back to china. many are smuggling. this has led to angry protests. >> every day they come by train from mainland china, offer the boarder to this distribute. they buy baby formula - that used to be the main produce. they buy snacks medicine. >> translation: i come here to get food. for example, chocolate and milk

powder. >> reporter: the goods are often better quality, shoppers can stock up when they return to china. >> translation: it's cheaper, there's more variety. >> reporter: business may be booming, but not everyone is happy with the day-trippers. personal shoppers smuggling goods back to china to sell at a higher price. a scheme known as parallel trading. >> they claim they are tourists 80% to 90% of them are traders. they are not. >> reporter: locals say the pressure on public transport is pushing up retail rent. this shop has been here for 12 years. the owner can't afford to stay and is moving elsewhere. >> translation: they sell every

day stuff. >> reporter: last week the issue came to a head with angry protesters targetting mainland shoppers. police used pepper spray to clear them. there are more rallies planned. they think of nothing to release. it is unlikely to do anything. >> the issue of parallel is new. it's been happening four around a decade. it's growing and feeding the anti-mainland sentiment held by some in hong kong. the government has put in place some limits. but it says the agreeing of the day-trippers is good economy. with some locals grappling or dealing with the changing landscape. another case of the deep

hong kong china divide it's the stuff of science fiction, part human, part machine. for those that lost a limb to receive robotic replacements. andrew thomas in sydney. >> in 1998 this map lost his leg when pipes collapsed him at a building site. christy travelled from the u.k. to australia for pioneering surgery to give him one of the first integrated mechanical legs. >> putting the leg on traditionally takes 10-15 minute. this would be a case of clip it on off you go. >> part of the new robotics has been surgically impacted into his body. working to give him feeling. >> if i tap as simple as this

they feel it >> reporter: they drill into a bone inserting a tit annian rob. this surgeon grew up in war-torn iraq, seeing how people struggled with artificial limbs. hollywood inspired him. >> in 1984 i watched the terminator movie. i was fascinated about them being part machine, part human. i had that dream. now it's coming. when surgeons were ordered to remove soldiers ears as punishment for desertion, he fled by boat to australia. last june paula fell off her bed putting up curtains so badly. watched by a surgeon, key to

learn the technique, she is getting the implant to clib on a new leg. >> this surgery is new. there are fewer than 10 surgeons that carried it out. and many patients received the implants allowing them to attach robotic limbs. >> six weeks after surgery, gowan is getting used to her leg. with crutches she is walking again. >> i have not used a wheelchair since coming to hospital. after i have a shower i put my leg on. that's part of getting dressed. >> most of her surgery was goveredly her health ipp surns. surgery and limbs can cost between one and $500,000. polices will fall as they become more common still ahead - a big win for bayern munich in the german league.

the european cities thinking of hosting withdrew the bids because they were too expensive and unpopular with the pub licks. there's no danger with that happening here in kazakhstan. rich with oil and democracy, meaning criticisms can be managed. there's a ban an sanctioned protests. environmentalists chose a riverbed to make their point. if you squint. that's the face of a mountain snow leopard. it's endangered by this planned resort. which, if al-matty wins it would host the world's media. . >> translation: these games will not be financially profitable and will destroy attempts. >> it is insisted they'll be green. >> there's no need to destroy
