on twitter, facebook, google+ >> hello welcome to the al jazeera news hour live in doha. our top stairs: >> danish intelligence services say the copenhagen attacker may have been inspired by last month's paris attacks. >> in yemen a new strategy against shia houthi rebels. >> also this hour, ukraine's army says a ceasefire that came into force at midnight is being observed throughout the east. >> i'm reporting from the far

east of russia. wire we're following the tracks of this siberian tiger which has just made its way through the snow here. >> we begin this news hour in denmark, written telling services say the man who carried out two shootings in copenhagen may have been inspired by last month's attacks against french satirical muath al-kaseasbeh charlie hebdo. attackers are refusing to give details about his identity. we have more from copenhagen. >> it was a tense night in the danish capitol. police cordoned streets and security forces took charge. after two attacks police tracked a suspect to his home. sunday morning, they said they think they've got their man. >> we suspect that the staple perpetrator is behind both shootings, and we also believe that the person that please shot

at the station i guess the same perpetrator. >> a debate on free speech was happening. controversial cartoonist helped otherwise it. the gunman escaped in a car. hundreds of armed security officials deployed. got second attack came at a synagog, killing another man and injuring two police officers. >> people from the police entered the streets just in front wearing helmets and automatic rifles. we looked outside the window and saw this guy lying in the street just on the other side of the pavement. >> police say cctv images helped find the alleged attacker. he reportedly took a taxi home and that's where police went to find him and he opened fire and died when police fired back.

on sunday, the prime minister said it was a time for danes to come together. >> we are not in a war between islam and the west. this is not a war between muslims and non-muslims. this is a war between freedom for all and a dark ideology. >> here at police headquarters there was no information provided sunday morning as to the identity of the killer, however the police did say they would provide more information later in the day. for now the people of copenhagen and denmark feel relieved but may not have been saying they've been expecting such attacks since the first publication of the cashingitures of the prophet mohamed a decade ago. >> knick in telling services have been holding a press conference. what more do we know about the suspect and his motivation.

>> police are not revealing much though claim to know the identity of the alleged killer and have other details about him, but they are not sharing it with the public, because this is an ongoing investigation. you get the feeling they are looking for possible accomplices, trying to figure out if this individual was a lone wolf. there was light shed on the possible motivation and background of the individual, and that was shed by the head of the danish intelligence service who had this to say. >> from the perspective of the danish intelligence service we can't say anything concrete about the motivation behind the attacks, nor the perpetrators motives, but we are working on the theory that he could have been inspired by the attack in paris against the charlie hebdo newspaper, islamic extremism and perhaps another attacks in a similar fashion. >> for denmark, it was always a

case of not if, but when. tell us about the mood on the streets of copenhagen today after the attacks are people worried there might be another one? >> i think they are. i think as is normal in situations like this, people are in a state of shock. we went to the synagog where the second attack occurred and people were generally silent, weeping in some instances holding on to each other laying flowers against the gates of the synagog, the american ambassador came by, other dig tears came by in a moment of silence all in the presence of police officers protecting the synagog. what happens next, is there another attack is a thought for tomorrow. that's definitely out there. for 10 years almost, it's been not a question of if, not if, but when in the wake of the initial publication of those cashingitures of the prophet muhammad.

there was a republication in 2008 and then the charlie hebdo episode brought it all back into the public imagination and into the minds of people one supposes who think about perpetrating this kind of act. people for now are taking a breather a sigh of relieve on this sunday and they'll be thinking ahead about what it means to their every day lives and how the danish democracy will find balance between freedom of expression and respecting feelings in some religions that blasphemy should be avoided at all costs a huge debate that caused over 2,000 deaths across the world in 2005 when it kicked off. >> breaking news now out of northeast nigeria where at least 10 are reported killed in a bombing in a city of gamaturo. a female bomber detonated her

device. we are joined on live from the capitol. it is a region that is frequently attacked by boko haram. what more do you know about this latest attack? >> basically this is the latest attack on the city that has come under fear affect by boko haram over the past two years probably the last three years. >> hundreds have been killed by boko haram. this happened at a bus station close to a market, today is market day in the state and the female suicide bomber was targeting a lot of people when she detonated that device. >> it's not the first time that we're hearing of course of a female suicide bomber being active in northeastern nigeria. in other news, also, we are hearing that there has been an attack in neighboring niger on

the other side of the border. what more have you heard about that? >> basically an operation is currently going on there in the area and the military has been engaging boko haram over the past week and they have recorded multiple instances claimed to have killed hundreds of boko haram fighters and boko haram has been pulling out attacks on people civilians and government institutions, so it's an ongoing campaign in niger trying to overcome boko haram and probably boko haram is targeting niger because of its alliance with nigeria, cameroon and chad to fight the boko haram group. >> thank very much, on the line there. >> in yemen anti coup leaders met to form a strategy against the houthi take over.

southern separatists were opposed to the talks and a bomb attempt disrupted the meeting earlier. we are joined from aden. what is the strategy the anti coup leaders have come up with? what have they agreed on? >> it was a statement that was read out after the event took place, after that bomb threat that postponed the meeting. the highlight of that statement was that as you say, they will transfer the capitol, as far as they're concerned at least from sanna to aden. sanna is under occupation by houthi fighters, obviously in the coup that took place and militants took control of the capitol. significant in that statement also was that they were forming some sort of collective mechanism or government that would look after the

administrative political and security affairs of all the government entities that the houthis do not control mainly centered in the eastern parts of the country and the south. also amongst them is obviously the strategic towns where the oil production of yemen take place. they also encourage said that they were encouraged by the statements of the gulf corporation council and the efforts that the gcc is making through the united nations to put pressure, international pressure on the houthis including the possibility to call for international military intervention and sanctions. that was the main point of the statement, but the statement called for the release of political prisoners and other things like that. >> as we know and said, southern separatists were opposed to this meeting in aden. you also have the houthis who were firmly in control of not just sanna the capitol of yemen, but other areas in the country, as well, so how likely

is it that this anti-coup strategy that these people have come up with is going to work at all. >> i think really, it depends on two things. on the ground, they are out muscled in terms of the weaponry that the houthis have, because large parts of the yemeni have colluded with or are under the control of the houthis. it depends whether the international community will support this strategy, so if they manage to get some sort of recognition or acknowledgment to their legitimacy from the international community then that could at least bring about a new balance from a political perspective. as you say when you point to the southerners, and this is significant, by them saying that they want to transfer the capitol to aden, it require some sort of popular support in aden,

but there is significant parts of the southern population here who are calling for separation and do not want them here. i just found now that the governor of aden was the person who read out that statement and he said that he's one of the leading figures in this new strategy of the different politicians, members of the parliament and ministers and it appears that at least until now they do have a home for them here in aden. >> thank you very much, live from southern yemen. >> japan has reportedly offered $15 million in aid to filed armed groups in the middle east and africa, in addition to the $2 million to fight in isil controlled areas. they will go to countries including those who border syria and iraq. two japanese hostages were recently killed by isil fighters. >> isil fighters have taken control of a dam in eastern

iraq. kurdish forces attacked with suicide bombers killing 14 iraqi soldiers, the government has held the area for the last 14 months. >> shia militias have made gains against isil fighters, but some have been accused of killing sunni civilians. al jazeera has been given exclusive access to one of the groups in the province as it prepares for an assault on the isil stronghold of tikrit. we have a report. >> 35 kilometers beyond this valley is ticket city and the surrounding areas. it's mainly under the control of the islamic state of iraq and the levant. this is the fronted line, marked by a tributary of the euphrates river, the mission is to keep the area clear of isil fighters and prepare for assault on tikrit. here militias are backed by iran and made up of civilians not

professional soldiers. some of them have been accused of revenge attacks against sunnis in the areas they have taken from isil, an allegation this commander denies. >> i'm a six engineer, and i've answered the holy call from the grand ayatollah and in part, the popular mobilization forces. i'm a witness to everything that has taken place here and i can tell you that hasn't happened. >> for now this shia militia wait and wonder what they face. particular credit has long been a stronghold of anti soon any government rebels. although isil say they control the town itself, in actual fact, it's the army who are really in control. they are a group of sadaam hussein loyalisted and hussein was born in that town. they don't share the same goals as isil in establishing a

caliphate, but want their own rule. this it was amer lee that became the focal point of fighting. it took three months to break the siege and evidence of how tough a fight it was is everywhere. >> the siege lasted 90 days. isil made two too fast, the last was the fiercist. they tried to attack a holy shrine in the town. it was tough battle. isil are well equipped. we fought back until our last bullet and we succeeded thanks to god. >> these militia fighters have regular firing exercises into isil territory. they are confident they will prevail and say they don't need any international help. despite that, isil still control huge swaths of iraqi territory and are proving difficult to push back. >> there's much more ahead on the al jazeera news hour, including: >> i'm tanya page reporting from

south africa where an after school program is trying to meet the education needs of some of johannesburg's children. >> a type of surgery helping people who lost limbs get robotic replacement. >> india has a victory against pakistan in the cricket cup. we've got action later this hour. >> to ukraine the army says the ceasefire is being observed throughout the east. that's despite earlier allegation of violations from government forces and pro-russian rebels. a truce was agreed to at belarus talks in minsk. it went into effect midnight saturday. we have more. >> certainly here in donetsk a very quiet night since the ceasefire began. the first quiet night in weeks after intense fighting and heavy

shelling. there are allegations made that there have been violations committed since the ceasefire began. we spoke to a separatist spokesperson who accused the ukrainian military of violations around the flash point town of debaltseve where we've seen some of the most intense fighting in recent weeks. similar accusations are being made by the ukrainian military. the e.s.c. will be monitoring, no doubt and investigating these kind of allegations. they are in charge of monitoring this ceasefire. by and large certainly so far here in donetsk it seems as if the ceasefire is holding but obviously a very tense situation, a lot of distrust here by both sides and a failure in previous attempts at ceasefires throughout this region. >> we're just hearing now that the osce have said that rebels in the east have denied access

to the town of debaltseve as mentioned heavily contested by both sides. monitors have been denied access to the down of debaltseve. a lecturer at the department of war studies at king's college in london talks about the challenges in the way the ceasefire is to hold. >> i think russia is very eager to reach a settlement. i think both sides really want the leader of ukraine and of russia really want to reach an agreement, and to reach a ceasefire, but there are challenges ahead. one is the fact that we don't have a clear peacekeeping force that is going to monitor the implementation of the ceasefire. at the moment, it is in the hands of the o.s.c. and they have few numbers of observers and they're in no position to prevent violence from escalating so the only way to really make a ceasefire work would be with a proper presence

of a separating force a kind of peacekeeping force and that has not been in visioned and it's not clear which forces could be used. there is also the problem of the border between russia and ukraine, which is only going to be given back to control of ukraine at the end of this year, after some kind of agreement is reached on the stages of these regions, so there are a lot of challenges ahead. the biggest one is really what is going to be the status of this region. there is contradiction and i don't think the leaders of luhansk and donetsk are going to be happy with local rule, which doesn't mean regional rule. also the borders are not clear. there are a lot of challenges ahead. >> the families of 21 egyptian christians captured in libya or call on their government to do

more to secure their release. concerns are high after fighters loyal to islamic state of iraq and the levant released pictures of the men who were captured christians. we have the details. >> a sit-in outside the orthodox cathedral in chiro. relatives of 21 christian egyptian workers captured in libya call for help. >> we urge mr. president to exert his utmost efforts to bring our children home. we elected him and love him. he should not respond to negligence. >> no one is listening to us. we don't know if they're alive or dead or what's happening. >> the men were captured by fighters with links to islamic state of iraq and the levant. they were taken in two separate attacks in the libyan coastal city in december and january. this week, pictures of them dressed in jump suits with their hands tied behind their backs were released on social media. >> the publication of these

pictures causes confusion for us. have they been killed or are these just pictures to threaten us with? >> on saturday, the egyptian foreign minister addressed conflicting media reports that the men had been killed. >> we are doing everything possible to ascertain what the situation is, to find the through our contacts to many of the libyan tribes and political entities the possibility of dealing with this issue and getting the egyptians. >> there has been no formal request by egypt on the matter. >> with rewards to the latest report of the group detaining egyptian expats, we've ordered investigation. as for now, there is no confirmation of their whereabouts or condition. the egyptian government has not communicated with the libyan government directly or indirectly in that regard.

we haven't been provide their names or profession. >> there's also the issue of authority. the isil affiliated fighters say they've seized control of cert, raising concern about the fate of the workers. >> more and more children in south africa are attending private schools. between 2000-2010 the number of public schools shrank 5% but the number of private rose by 44%. much of that growth is because of low school fees that cater to poorer families. >> rain pelts children during one of johannesburg's summer storms but won't keep them away from their after-school program. the city can be dangerous so security is tight. this is a safe space for learning called the street light

school. the focus is on a more holistic, creative education. >> when a child is growing up, she has to have more options. she doesn't have to be like only -- she has to be. >> parents will be charged a small fee making it one of the growing number of low-fee private schools in johannesburg. like thousands of others, she moved to the city for work. more people means more strain on public spaces. there simply isn't enough space in private school classrooms for all the children. students are filling the gap in urban spaces. >> this building was a shoe factory before converted into housing for low-income families. 150 people live here and the all the children attend this unique after school program. >> the teaching is experimental. they're developing their own characters for a story. the woman behind it says the

governments curriculum is narrow so there's plenty of space around it for more imaginative techniques. one education rights group says private schools aren't the answer to the country's education issues. >> the private education sometimes sort of takes a bit of that takes a bit of the load of the public education and that in way is good, saving money in the treasury purse but i think that's generally ideally we want the public education to support everyone and functioning so well that no one would have to seek private education. >> the day ends with a song and the certainty that for as long as demand outweigh supply in public schools the only way for some parents to ensure their children get an education is by taking a different approach. al jazeera johannesburg. >> time for our check on the world weather now with robin. new england's in a blizzard. >> in the middle now correct. satellite pictures showed you some things.

nashville, tennessee. where is this going to go next? having dumped what could be half, three quarters of a meter it carries on in the same flow, moves up the northeast coast of the u.s. once again heading towards boston. >> thank you very much, indeed, rob. >> now it's the stuff of science fiction part human part machine a new surgery is allowing those who lost limbs to receive robotic replacements. we have more. a warning the report contains detailed images of surgical procedures which some viewers might find distasteful. >> pipe's collapsed on this man at a building site. after 17 years dealing with a prosthetic limb, he traveled for pioneering surgery to give him one of the world's first integrated mechanical legs. >> even putting the leg on

traditionally, would take 10 or 15 minutes to put it on properly where this is a case of credit it on, off you go. >> it has been surgically implanted in his body and works with residual muscles and nerves to give him feeling. >> if i tap, he can feel it. they regain their ability to feel the ground. >> the surgery involves drilling into the bone above where a limb has been removed and inserting a titanium rod in the cavity. the surgeon grew up in war-torn iraq and saw how people struggle with artificial limbs. hollywood inspired him. >> 1984, i watched the terminator movie and i was fascinated about how human beings can be part machine part human, and i always had that dream and now this dream's been coming true. >> when surgeons were ordered to

spokesman for the state. thank you very much for taking the time to speak to us. what more can you tell us about the female suicide bomber involved? >> our apologies for that bad phone line with the spokesman police pokes man for the state attempting to tell us there about that suicide attack today which left 10 people dead and 30 others injured. a female suicide bomber is reported to have blown up her device at a crowded bus station. we'll try to establish that connection and hopefully speak again to the police spokesman for the state. >> let's move to our other top

story on al jazeera. in yemen, anti coup leaders announced a strategy against the houthi coup. speaking to us more about this now in the scoot yo, omar has extensively covered yemen. the anti could have leaders want u.n. intervention, but this is going to be extremely difficult the strategy to put together, isn't it? >> it is going to be very difficult, because the u.n. was already trying to find a peaceful solution to the crisis, not only when the houthis stormed the presidential palace but when they took the capital sanna last year. we do understand the u.n. security council will be meeting later today. a draft will call on the houthis to withdraw immediately and engage in good faith dialogue with other political parties. i don't think they'll be able to reach any solution to the crisis.

>> the houthis are not interested in that right now because in sanna, they are trying to set up their own government with members of the former government, the party of former president adou rabbo mansour hadi. >>. a senior member of the movement said his movement will not bow to the international pressure on the yemeni people, saying the people have chosen their path and want to establish their own future out away from any foreign intervention. i think it's very clear. it's interesting that i don't see how the international community will be able to force the houthis because they don't have means to pressure them on the ground so i think that's why the houthis are taking -- >> separatists in the south simply want separation. >> the southern movement is made

of 20 political groups. some of the southern movement groups are separatists and they have the tendencies to break away and don't want to exexport the trouble of the north to the south. there are members of the southern movement who want to remain in a unified yemen under a federal region. parties in aden have tried to isolate further the houthis by standing together saying the only legitimate leader of yes, ma'am anyone is president adou rabbo mansour hadi and what happened is a coup. they are trying to isolate the houthi to say put them under more pressure. >> thank you for your in sight. >> sri lanka's new president arrived in india for his first overseas trip since taking office. he is likely to bring up the issue of thousands of refugees living in india. they fled the 25 year civil war. as we report from northern sri lanka, they are still displaced

being used to safeguard national security. >> people here, especially those who have lived in camps for three generation are cautious. they've heard these promises before. this time there's hope. hope that the new president they voted in will deliver. >> they resent their homes and feeds taken over by the military especially to build hotels and grow vegetables. the government announced it will give back 400 hectores of land. >> any land that is in excess of the limit that they are using and if that land is utilized directly by the army, the lands will be given back. >> the announcement came ahead of the visit of the president to india. the issue is likely to feature in his discussions with indian leaders. there are tens of thousands of sri lanka refugees in south india, many who want to go back

to sri lanka like gabriel and the his family who returned four months ago. >> people want to return to the land they belong but must have somewhere to come back to and a way to make a living. >> it's an issue the new president appears to ever recognized in his attempt to bring reconciliation to a country recovering from a long and bloody conflict. al jazeera northern sri lanka. >> in india, 13 have been killed and two injured after a building under construction collapsed in the northern state. two children were among those killed and belonged to the same family. it happened in the town, police are investigating what led to the collapse. >> now to hong kong, where as many as 20,000 mainland chinese cross into the territory each day to buy goods to take back to china. critics say main are smuggling excessive amounts in what's
