>> freeway crack in the system only on al jazeera america >> al jazeera. [music] >> hello, this is the news hour live from london. coming up in the next 60 minutes. mexican police capture the country's most wanted drug lord . >> western workers struggle to help villagers after an

avalanche kills 200 people. >> and normalization of relations with cuba being take off the terror list. and leonard nimoy has died at the age of 83. >> hello there, thank you for joining us. police in mexico have arrested the head of the ninth templar drug cartel. the government had offered a reward for the former schoolteacher. his cartel ruled through extortion and intimidation but recently has been driven out from many areas by vigilanty groups. the arrest is a success for the government. the alleged heads of several other cartels were captured last

year. >> one of mexico's most wanted men taken without a shot. gomez allegedly ran one of mexico's most powerful criminal organizations, the ninth templar. in recent years the cartel branched out from drug traffic trafficking to exhorting farmers and anyone they could squeeze protection money from. he always maintained he was a man of the people. >> at that time i was a born criminal, drug trafficker because i took risks. they wanted to steal from me and kidnap my family. i didn't allow that. i'm not going to compare myself from anyone from history but why did pancho villa raise their weapons. pannerpancho villa was a criminal, we all know that.

>> the cartel was under threat. first from vigilantes that rose up against them and then from the state. gomez had been hiding for more than a year. his capture could guess a boost togive a boost to mexico's president. over the past year mexican officials claimed victory and gomez will likely be held up as proof, a recent wave of killings in the state shows that their problems go beyond just one man. al jazeera mexico city. >> it has been announced that the man in charge of the mexico's investigation of the missing 43 students has stepped down. he has been widely criticized for his handling of the case

since the students were abducted. the government says they were taken by corrupt police who had links to a local drug gang. well now let's speak to the professor of criminal justice at new mexico state university, sir, thank you so much for joining us here on al jazeera. let's go back to our top stories, the arrest of la tuta gomez. a few months ago he said that his group was a necessary evil, and if they weren't there another group would come. in light of that, how much safer is the area now that gomez has been arrested? >> what we have to understand is this has been carefully stage managed, this is more of a show man than substance. very little is likely to change on the ground as a result of

this arrest, notwithstanding the government's wish that that be so. what we're looking at here is this is a kind of accommodation as to territory in patrol of la tuta's absence. other cartels will emerge. perhaps rival groups, and essentially the situation on the ground will stay the same. shortly what is likely is the short to medium run is there will be more violence. this is a victory but an empty victory from that perspective. it changes nothing in terms of the overall power of impunity and corruption, and in fact, criminality on the part of the government reflected in cases like the 43 missing students. >> la tuta had been hiding for a

year, that he would rather be in hiding than be in jail. he was arrested without a shot being fired what do you make of the actual arrest. >> this is show man ship, staging. not a single shot was fired when it's known that he's very well armed, and in fact had a private army deployed in support of him and at one point had significant territorial control. it's an unlikely scenario that this was, in fact, a capture. i think much more this was something arranged, a surrender. it's also very interesting, of course that this coincides with the resignation of the country's attorney general who has been so widely criticized within and without mexico. and pressured regarding his failure to handle the 43 missing students and a military massacre last june. so given that landscape i think we have to have some founded

doubts about what is really going down in this situation. >> just a reminder to people who perhaps don't know that part of the world very well or the drug cartels very well. the figures are shocking. in 2013 cartels murdered 16,000 people in mexico alone. 60,000 between 2006 and 2012. and i think the rate is one killing every half hour for the last seven years. if the arrests of these big drug cartel leaders and of course la tuta is not the only one. if that does not change the situation, what do you think would change the situation of the power of the cartels in mexico? >> i think what's clear both in terms of the specific case of la tuta and all the evidence that has come out go gomez's own ties to powerful politicians aligned with the ruling part in

michoacan with local officials with local police. the kind of scenario that produced the kidnapping of the students in the neighboring state, until those scenarios of corruption impunity, duplicity are unearthed, are cleansed, are purged, nothing substance will change. the problem is that the corruption goes all the way to the stop. it includes the former now attorney general who himself has shown the complicit of thety of the system in terms of human rights crimes. >> professor of criminal justice at new mexico state university. thank you for your time. >> thank you very much. >> an u.s. blogger of bangladeshi origin who spoke out against extremism has been killed. he was with his wife when hacked

to death on the way home from a book fair. hundreds of people have been protesting against the killing calling for police action. >> they say that the religious extremism that he protested against may have led to his death on this crowded sidewalk in daka bangladesh. he and his wife was assaulted on the street. his wife was critically injured. >> i saw them hit him on the shoulders and the head. i shouted for help but nobody came. >> the police found the meat cleavers but they have not arrested anyone or who might be behind the an attack. his family and friends say they have no doubt that his beliefs and writings made him a tart. he was an atheist pulling down

fanaticism. >> i demand that the government punish them. >> many gathered to express their outrage over the prominent blogger's murder. he has been called a courageous and eloquent defender of reason and free expression in a country where those values are under attack. >> rescueers in afghanistan are struggling to reach villagers buried in snow. more than 200 people are known to have died. and in panjshir hundreds more are missing. freezing weather and lack of

machinery are hampering efforts to reach trapped people. >> the panjshir has seen snow before. but this was something different. meters and meters of it turning jagged mountains into smooth wide slopes, and valleys into silent gorges. in the provincial capitol it was anything but quiet. helicopters buzzed over head. hundreds of troops trudged uphill to secure the peaks and the convoy of military vehicles blocked the only road through the valley. while the commotion president ashraf begany was flying in to check out the rescue efforts. this were struggling to clear the road meter by painful meter. this is as far as emergency crews can get. the road is blocked by snow.

that means that dozens of villagers have been cut off and right now they're not getting any help. at this rate clearing the rest of the road could take up to ten days. mohammed is desperate for news. his wife and eight children are in a village he can't reach. >> all my family are stuck up there in the canyon. i've had no contact for a week. i keep coming up here in case someone comes from the other side of the pass. >> the government said that it's doing it's best. 1,000 security forces have been dispatched to the area. the people are getting angry at how long it's take to go clear the snow. >> 18 millions of my family are under snow. they are getting no hope. >> pan yankees shirnjshir is

under snow. >> the bulldozer does not have chains on the wheels. if we get strong machinery we can clear the road quickly and then focus on the villages. >> down in the valley people are getting used to living with snow. but high up in the mountains thousands of their countrymen wait to be rescued. al jazeera in the panjshir valley. >> the communist party rallies against its government and they won't seek a third international bailout. we'll take you ms. a hospital on the front line in eastern ukraine. and in sport fifa gives thoughts on the winter world cup in qatar.

>> let's go to syria now where kurdish forces have managed to push the islamic state in iraq and the levant out. the kurds managed to retake the area after six days of intense fighting during which 175 isil members were reportedly killed. and 12 people were killed and injured in a car bomb attack. activists say that the bomb detonated in a mosque as people were living after friday prayers. the town is controlled by rebels who have agreed to a cease-fire with the government. douma east of the syrian capitol has been under seen for two years now. 300 civilians have died because of food and medical shortages during this time. in the first week of february more than 100 lost their lives in what is described as one of

the heaviest terror attacks by the government. >> just over a year old she died of malnutrition. she wasn't the first victim in douma, the rebel-held suburb near damascus has been under siege. during that time activists say 264 civilians died, 188 of them children. >> we couldn't find medicine. we couldn't find milk. when do you, it's very expensive, and we cannot afford to buy it. >> people are not only dying of staff aggravation. douma has been a battleground for years. much of it has been razed to the ground. >> douma is northeast of the center of damascus, justice like other issues of the capitol it is under siege. it is the first area in the damascus province to see protest. four years later it is the main

opposition stronghold surrounding the government-controlled city. in the first week of february 100 civilians were killed in what was described as one of the heaviest aerial attacks on the city that lasted for days. wahlid survived but his wife and daughter didn't. minutes after he left the house government targeted the neighborhood. this campaign was in response to a rebel attack on central damascus. >> on that day my wife stayed home alone because of the airstrikes. she took my daughter and i went to my sister's house who lives next to us. i left them there. i came back to see the house destroyed. >> some people in the opposition did question whether causing casualtyies in damascus had any military benefit. walid is not one of them.

he blames the government for targeting civilians. he still believes that the struggle should continue. al jazeera bay lieutenant. >> northern iraq's minority groups have been systematically persecuted, killed and driven from their homes by isil over the last nine months. tension focused on the plight of the i can'tcy did i minority in iwhyiyazidis were abducted. many were forced from their homes in mosul after isil took over. many were told to leave mosul or be executed. with me now is mark latimer with

rights international. thank you for being with us here on al jazeera. these are sobering figures and in talafar where 90% of turk men had to leave. what do you think the long-term affect of the region is going to be if this goesen. >> isil has pursueed a systemic strategy of expelling all minorities from a large sway from northern western iraq, and also in northern syria. we fear that affect is going to be permanent. communities like some of those you mentioned yazidis, turk men, some of them have lived in that part of iraq for up to 4,000 years. but many of the displaced people that i spoke to when i was last in iraq said that they could never go back. not just because of the atrocities they've been subjected to but also because they felt that there was no one prepared to protect them on the side of the iraqi government, and that actually too many of

their former neighbors had been complicit in their expulsion. now we have seen isil destroy systematically the artifacts or sculptures of many of these civilizations. so they really do feel much of what they have left behind has been destroyed. >> we've seen the persecution of minorities intensify since isil took over large parts of northern iraq. i was reading what you were saying. you also think that it happened before. i mean, this is just the final push in a sense. >> yes, i think we should see the eanotherty of what imhas done, all they've done is to complete half of iraq's christians had already left the country before 2014, so what isis are doing is completing a process that had already started, and many of the

minority communities with whom we work in iraq have for years and years desperately called for protection from the government, and none has been forthcoming. in fact, the largest single atrocity of the iraq war actually happened in 2007 against the yazidi communities in the north. it went up to 800 people were killed in a campaign of linked mass truck bombings on one day. if that happened in 2007, you have to ask yourself what has the iraqi government been doing to protect minority communities in the intervening years. >> obviously not enough, and we need to look at this in the context of 2 million people being displaced in and around iraq. you say the iraqi government has failed. what do you think could be done to try to make sure that many of these minority groups who have lived there for thousands of years remain in that part of the world? >> i think what we're seeing, actually. we have to realize that what we're seeing in iraq, and what

is likely to happen over the next few months is an intensification of the sectarian war. a replaying, if you like, of the sectarian war that we saw in 2006 and 2007. on the side of the government we've seen a rearming of the shia militias. they themselves have been responsible for mass atrocityies against sunni civilians and if mosul is retaken by the iraqi security forces, it's only likely to be with mass loss of civilian life. so what we're actually going to see over the next few months is an intensification of conflict making it less likely that minorities can return. what they need is some kind of accommodation between the different major groups in iraq so someone in the iraqi government is placed under enough pressure to come up with

accommodation for all of iraq's people, and not just for their own group. >> thank you so much for having joined us. >> germany's parliament has approved the extension of greece's bail out screen. a record number of conservatives underscore the ability of greece to pay its debt. alexis stipras said that when the bail out expires he won't ask for another one. >> some are asking for a third memorandum in the coming june, but i'm sorry, they can perfect the third bail out.

the goal is a mutually agreement with our allies. the detachment of our country from this program. >> meanwhile, outside parliament there have been protests against the prime minister and thinks deal with international creditors. we have more from athens. >> well, they're seeing an opportunity hire to move in to a new anti-anti-austerity alternative since the last election, and what they want to do is ease away from the left wing pick up votes and they're already having an influence on the party's stance because the government is not acting as an unified whole. the government has now greed to be pound as it's spread assessors were even though they were moving in a new direction. they may have an affect on government policy. >> funding for the u.s.

department of homeland security remains in limbo with just hours left to avoid running out of money. congress incentives have passed conflicting pieces of legislation on the funding. paychecks for hundreds of thousands of government workers will stop unless a deal is struck by midnight. >> pushing to be removed from an u.s. list of state sponsors. president obama wants embassies in both countries opened by april. and in the last half hour cuba's lead negotiator has expressed confidence that the two countries are capable of civilized relations. >> we can kay to this meeting in a constructive spirit, the meeting took place in a vet respectful professional and constructive environment. i can say that we have a good meeting today. we made progress in our

discussions. >> al jazeera's roslind jordan is live for us at the state department. this normalization of relations between the u.s. and cuba is proving to be more complicated than some thought in the beginning. >> it comes down to getting a lot of logistics worked out barbara. that is because in part there has been more than 50-year-old embargo based on the. >> the ability to have a bank account. right now the u.s. banks say that there is a lot of confusion about what they are and aren't allowed to do in terms of setting up bank accounts for the tubens. in fact, the intersection here have no bank account because

u.s. banks are afraid they'll be sanctioned or taken to court by the u.s. treasury department if they engage in any financial transactions. that's one key matter that the u.s. government is trying to work on right now. the other issue that the u.s. insists should not be linked is that cuba is listed as a terrorism under u.s. laws. the obama administration's argument is that that is larger issue and something that is going to have to be investigated, which they say they're working on right now. but they say that they should not be linking that issue to the simple relationships of the two governments talking to each other once again. >> roslind jordan from washington, d.c. thank you.

>> the two-year-old and her younger sister, home is this simple room in the children's hospital. they're too young to understand what has happened to them and to their town in recent months. >> it's really difficult. all the children are scared. as soon as they hear the slightest noise, it's frightening for adults so imagine how the children field. >> the hospital was caught in a cross fire. a third of the treatment rooms were rendered as unusable. >> 90% of the children have psychological problems. it's the fright when the bombs fall, and the fear after they have landed. they have problems with their speech. stammering and stuttering. they lose confident in their parents. when adults are frightened, children are frightened as well. >> the current pause in the fighting has not stopped the flow of injured and ill arriving

workers to go abroad. the president said he wants to preserve the country's dignity by banning maids from working abroad, but critics say that the president's plan violates the workers' right in a country that lacks employment opportunities. they say that the government should put proper laws in place and rectify the international convention to protect maids long ago. >> the government indirectly legalizes this modern slavery and human trafficking. if our laws it is not written that migrant workers are human beings who should be able to defend their own rights and determine their own conditions. >> most of the estimated 6 million indonesian migrant
