palace. actually the report presented, and security council. just only a month ago, which was going after his money mentioned his links with al qaeda. the mention that one of the leaders of this group in brackets where would the president and his defence minister in the palace. that is the concern that the longest fighting goes on for, the more strength it gives to al qaeda, the more they'll be encouraged to grow and separate. >> that's right. that's what the deposed surgeon all the time threatened that he can push the area and he says if i don't rule some option - bring all on everybody's head. >> thank you for talking us through a very complex country there. al-shabab is threatening to stage more attacks in kenya, and in a statement they warned kenyans no amount of precautions

wounds. christine is packed and ready to be evacuated. she had everything. >> they are telling a lady to move out. those say that will be mined. what they did, they moved out. they were carrying out them. >> reporter: the men were treated more harshly. >> don't kill me don't do this. they were slaughtering them. >> reporter: she hopes it's the last time she sees garissa. >> what i saw, no. police and the military gather crucial evidence from the university compound. the siege started. those rescued were mini ing back to their homes. political leaders and security chiefs have arrived in the town and promised security would be

improved. and we want to make sure the plan falls into place. in order that it's normal business as usual. >> reporter: those that live here have had all this before. >> the script is the same. an attack happens. security is beefed up. they come fro nairobi, land for a few hours and go back. only for this to happen a few days later. >> al-shabab fighters have been promising a spectacular attack like the nairobi siege in 2013 where more than 60 people died in garissa on thursday. in the lead up to that promise. in iraq the head of tikrit's governing council - homes have been burnt in the

moment. why is this happening? >> the fighting is ongoing, it's a fluid situation. in the hands of i.s.i.l. it comes after the palestinian group accused i.s.i.l. they kidnapped some i.s.i.l. fighters and it's a situation we find now. fighting is fierce we are hearing, i.s.i.l. outnumbers other fighters. we spoke to a source saying that fighters from al-nusra - the al qaeda-affiliated point basically allowed the i.s.i.l. fighters to come into the camp. and didn't do anything. they are accusing them of being complicit. we need to remind ourselves that the civilian plight in yarmouk is one of huge concerns, it's

probably one of the worst places to be in the war. they are fully dependent on aid, and some has been trickling in no aid is coming in because of the fighting. that's of extreme concern. >> what do you think this suggests about bashar al-assad's grip on power and where the fighting is now, four years in? >> well there has been a very tight control, of course between the northern part of the camp. it's about 7-10km away. if we look at the broader picture. the syrian army is losing ground and in idlib in the south. it's of huge concern. because they are close, we have spoken to people in beirut coming from damascus. it's an open highway. people will come from beirut and be back. with the development they are not going back at the moment. people are concerned in the capital that it's that close. the capital is tightly controlled by the syrian army

and by the president bashar al-assad's forces. but, yes, it's hugely concerning for people in damascus. again, at the moment it's a fluid situation, the fighting is ongoing. the closest they've gotten to the capital as of yet. >> thank you, stefanie dekker to egypt - with we are getting reports that the former president hosni mubarak and his two sons have arrived at the police academy to attend the retrial on corruption trials. hosni mubarak's son faces a separate trial for stock market situation. that was for the death of protesters in 2011 when he was ousted going home at last after being forced to work as fishermen without pay
