russia, find out why we are tracking a tiger that just made its way through the show here. -- through the snow here denmark's prime minister helle thorning-schmidt has said her country is on high alert after what she described as terrorist attacks in copenhagen. danish police say they have shot and killed the man behind the attacks. two were killed, five others wounded. we have the latest. >> police say the body near the bicycles is of the man behind the two attacks in copenhagen. they shot him near a train station, as he asked at an address under surveillance. >> translation: we suspect the same perpetrator is behind both shootings, and believe that the person that the police shot is the same perpetrator. the police released this still of a man captured on cameras.

c c.t.v. faced a crucial part in tracing the suspect. they are on high alert. streets of the capital are cordoned off and security forces in charge. the tense night began with an attack on this cafe. artist lars vilks that draw car cat turs of prophet muhammad was at the debate. hours later, shots at a synagogue. >> police arrived with helmets and kalashnikovs. the man was dying on the street on the other side of the pavement. >> the danish prime minister likened it to a terrorist attack. >> denmark has been hit by a severe act of violence. we believe it is a terror

attack. we take the situation extremely seriously. we are in a high alarm all over the country. the main priority at this stage is to catch the perpetrators and make sure that we find them as soon as approximately. many including a french diplomat at the cafe are comparing what happened in denmark to a magazine in january. others question whether the danish government was prepared for a similar attack on its soil. let's speak to nick spicer joining us live from copenhagen. as mentioned. there are questions now about whether denmark was prepared for such an attack. we heard from the prime minister an hour or so ago. what is the message. what is being said on the government side? >> well the danish security and intelligence service says that the country has been waiting for

an attack. preparing for an attack since the publication of the cashingic atures of prophet muhammad and the republication in 2008. the cartoons were published and led to a major international tensions between denmark, europe and many muslim countries, some 200 deaths. boycotting of danish goods, attacks on danish and european embassies in certain muslim countries, and since them there has been a number of plots. as recently as 2010. denmark is generally a peaceful country. it's a country that has been preparing for attacks of this kind for almost a decade now. >> reporter: i want to takes us to the prime minister who is speaking outside the synagogue,

where one of the shootings took place on saturday. just listen in a bit to what she has to stay. say. -- what she has to say. she missed it. she left. the prime minister was addressing reporters outside the synagogue where the shooting took place. the first one was at the meeting of several people a meeting described as a free-speech meeting in copenhagen and about 10 hours later there was another shooting at a synagogue. let's go back to nick spicer who is covering the story for us. what is the latest as we watched the prime minister lay flowers outside the synagogue. what is the latest on the investigation, and the suspect which police believe they have shot? >> well there's not any informs as to the identity of the suspect. police news conference took

place behind me - it didn't last 10 minute. basically they said they think they have got their man, the person responsible for the two attacks, and there may be more informs forthcoming later. to come back to the prime minister, we were not able to hear what she had to say, it was similar to what she said earlier, which is the nation must express its condolences towards the victims of the attacks, and that this is not a situation where people should be thinking in terms of muslims versus non-muslims. it is a clash of values and what had happened was an attack on denmark, a free and democratic society, and it is natural for her to go to the synagogue. the jewish community feels targeted. we are hearing that after the initial attack on the cafe where a free speech debate was

taking place, jewish leaders called for a reinforced police presence at jewish sites, and they were not reinforced as the jewish leaders would have liked because there was an attack a few hours layered leading to the killing. >> thank you very much. that's nick spicer. reporting there live from copenhagen breaking news now out of yemen. details are emerging of a potentially significant political deal brokered in aden. a meeting by several political parties was delayed due to an attempted bomb attack. let's go to jamal for the details. what has come out of the meeting after the threats earlier? >> well some significant statements made by political factions who gathered here in aden in the south of yemen to coordinate efforts against the

houthi leaders. first and foremost they condemned the coup saying they were against it but as politicians are political figures, they considered all the capital should be transferred to aden. and consider aden as the political capital of yemen until the coup is reversed because sanaa is under the control of the houthi fighters. number two they are forming a body between all the different government and cities opposed to the coup and this would be the representative body of the yemeni state. number three, they said they welcomed a statement by the gulf council, the group of countries, who made a statement on saturday at the united nations general

assembly where they not only condemned the coup but urged the united nations an adopt a resolution allowing for international military intervention and sanctions from the coup in sanaa. significant steps there. >> significant developments indeed. the fact that this anti-coup meeting is requesting g.c.c. countries in yemen is significant itself. how is this to go down as the houthis are in control of yemen's capital sanaa? >> well this is the power balance that exists. in that the houthis domestically have the high power in the sense that they have the guns and the ground. they control the main government institutions in sanaa and so forth. in terms of outside yemen, those that are opposed to the coup

have friends who have maybe more power. like the gulf corporation council, those countries and others like the united states and foreign countries who condemned the group saying they do not recognise it. the question is how active those foreigners are to come on the side. maybe that's the best thing to do. a lot are not gung-ho about intervention. pain economic sanctions is the way forward. definitely there is a push by the domestically here to try to force national pressure on the houthis. >> thank you very much. jamal elshayyal in aiden iraqi government sent reinforcements to al-baghdadi after it was captured by the islamic state of iraq and levant. the pentagon played it as a set

government forces and pro-russian rebels. both agreed to a truce after talks in belarussian capital minsk. charles stratford reports. >> reporter: here in donetsk a quiet night since the ceasefire began. the first quiet night in weeks after intense fighting and heavily shelling. there are allegations made by both sides that there have been some violations committed since the ceasefire. we spoke to a spokesperson who accused the ukranian ministry of violations around the town. where we saw intense fighting in recent weeks. similar accusations were made by ukranian military no doubt the o.s.c.e. will be monitoring and investigating these kind of allegations - in charge of monitoring the ceasefire. by and large, certainly so far hear in donetsk, it seems as if

no way. but the only land existing that they are using, if that land is underutilized by the government or the army it should be gip back. >> reporter: the announcement coming a few days ahead of the president's visit. the issues likely to feature discussions with indian leaders. there are tens of thousands of tamils in india, many that want to go back to sri lanka, like gabriel and his family. >> translation: people want to return to this land. they must have somewhere to come back to. >> as an issue the president appears to have recognised in an attempt to bring reconciliation to a country recovering from a long and bloody conflict now to south africa where more and more children are going to private schools. between the years of 2000 and to 10 the number of public schools

shrank by 9%. the number of private schools rose by 44%. as tania paige explains much is because of low school fees. >> reporter: rain pelts children during one of johannesburg's summer storms. it will not keep them away from their afterschool programme of the the ski can be dangerous. security is tight. this is a safe space for learning. it's called the street light school. the focus is on a more wholistic creative generation. >> when a child grows up. she has to be in politics. >> from next year parents will 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. more people mean more strain on

resources. there simply is not enough space in public school classrooms for all the city's children. the private schools are filling the gap and urban spaces. this building was a shoe factory before being converted into housing. so people live her, and all the children attend a unique afterschool programme. the teaching is experimental. they are developing their own characters for a story. the woman behind it says the curriculum is narrow there's plenty of space around it for more imaginative techniques one education rite group says private schools are not the answer. >> the private education takes a bit of that. it takes a load off the public education system and in that way it's good at saying money. generally you want the public education to support everyone and functioning well so no one

has to seek private education. >> reporter: the day end with a song, and the certainty that for as long as demand outweighs supply the only way for some parents to ensure children get an education is by taking a different approach now, it's the stuff of science fiction. part human, part machine, a new-type of surgery allowing those that lost their limbs of achieving a replace. . the report contains detailed images of procedures. >> reporter: in 1998 jeff christy lost his leg when pipes collapsed with him. after 17 years of struggling with a prot nettic limb which often rubbed his limb sore he travelled to sydney to receive a

robotic leg. >> this will be a case of clipping it on off you go. >> part of christy's robotic leg has been implanted into his body. it worked with muscles and nerves. >> if i tapas simple as this, he can feel it. they regain the ability to feel the ground. >> the surgery moves drilling into a bone inserting a tit an yup rod into a cavity. the surgeon grew up in war-torn iraq and saw how people struggled with prosthetic limbs. but it was television. >> in 1934 i watched "the terminator" and was fascinated how a human can be part human, part robotic. i had that dream. when under saddam hussein, surgeons were ordered to remove

soldier's ears as punishment for desertion. he fled to australia. he is a world leading ovtyo integration surgeon. last june paula fell off her leg, breaking it so bad i that it had to be removed. the surgeons keen to learn how to treat soldiers are giving her the implant to clip on a new leg. >> this surgery is new. there are fewer than 10 surgeons in the world that carried it out. and fewer than 400 patients receiving the implants allowing it to attach to the limbs. >> six weeks after surgery. she has got used to her leg. >> i haven't used a wheelchair since coming out of hospital. after my shower i put my leg on. it's part of getting dressed. >> most of the surgery was covered by the health insurance.

tiger habitat three tiles the size of the netherlands. the trackers fan out. they have to be alert. every now and again humans are attacked and kill. they know tigers are nearby. the know is an open book you can read if you know how. a tiger's age and gender can be identified from the paw prints. trackers determining the number of tiger cubs there are. >> this is tracks over there. bursting through three days ago. >> reporter: given the dire state of tiger population the story of the tiger is a good one. from a post world war ii around about 40 tigers the population increased more than tenfold to around about 500. this is nature in the raw, where all kinds of wild animals thrive and everything everyone is aware what is top of the food

chain. suddenly there's an urgent call out and we race into the for e. we find a warden visibly shaken saying he surprised a tiger that made a kill. he says he heard the tiger crash off through the undergrowth and he fired his gun into the air. sure enough there's evidence all around. the paw prints and the tigers prey a wild boar. pablo has seen many kills like this and deduces what's happened. >> shiite around 15% and went up the hill to rest. that's when sasha spooked her. >> reporter: later that night, nearby remote cameras give us a glimpse of what is probably the tiger itself it is the same animal seen in recent days special responsible for the kill. and footage of the tiger in daylight. a powerful and wild presence demanding why so muchest is spend trying to -- why so much effort is spent trying to save
