favour. the bill was drafted in the wake of the "charlie hebdo" massacre. a french law-maker likened it to what the u.s. congress did after the seven attacks. >> translation: it's a french patriot act. we may have more legal protection than the west. it's a law that enables a massive uptake of data. allowing the expanse of individuals that have nothing to do with terrorism, organised crime or spying. >> the bail has to be approved by the french senate but the new recalls will go into effect in summer. >> reporter: security patrols outside the french parliament ahead of the crucial vote. since the attacks in paris four months ago france has been on a heightened state of alert. and now further increases in national security as politicians from across the pit call spectrum vote to broaden state

surveillance powers. >> translation: the legislation would allow spy agencies to tap phones and emails without the need for permission from a judge. requiring internet companies to monitor activity allowing black boxes to filter communications. the government wants to spend $450 million to recruit extra security and intelligence officers. while lawmakers at the french parliament vote in favour of the digital surveillance bill in the opulence of the foreign ministry journalists have been invited to discuss freedom of expression online - spot the irony. is it possible to balance state security with security. >> we need the safeguards but need to make sure freedom of speech is protected. it's complicated. we have to get it right. >> several leading journalists

and civil rights groups believe the law can lead to abuses of power. internet companies say it will frighten away customers. >> i think the law should not open this door to abuse. and we know very well, and the history of france of the world, that it is full of cases where secret service, where intelligence organizations have abused the law. with or without the political power, support. >> now that it's flown through parliament the new surveillance bill is certain to become law. threat levels are high, so too is the desire for greater state controls. joining us now from washington is douglas oliphant a senior national security fellow with the new america foundation. good to see you. >> good to see you. >> is france going further than the u.s. patriot act. all of this seems to go further.

it creates a watchdog board. there's no judicial oversight. >> the devil will be in the detail in the final bill. as we look at it now. it appears that way. there won't be what the critical a basic and insufficient judicial protection in the u.s. patriot act. those will not exist in the french version. >> france's prime minister says the new law is intention, because france's last intelligence law was passed in 1991 before widespread use of the internet and mobile technology. does he have a point? >> he does. the law needs to be updated, and intelligence to deal with the existence of mobile phones and the internet. the question is how existive should the intake of this data be. how much metadata should they grab. the initial signs are that there is an expansive view. the issue is internet traffic

covers everywhere. presumably the french can intake into account the french emails, but yours and mine. at some point they go through - turn into ones and zeros and go through france at one point. >> it passed with overwhelming support, five to one in favour. to what extent is this similar to what we saw here after 9/11, a reaction to the "charlie hebdo" attacks. is it an over-reaction? >> it's very close. just as you know who wanted to be the person who voted against the patriot act. and there was a successful al qaeda attack a few months or years later. likewise in france who wants to be the french parliament air yab who votes -- parliamentarian who votes against a reform that might stop the "charlie hebdo" attacks. 6 months, 12 months later there's another attack and you are on the line voting against something that could have

stopped it. it puts it in a bad situation. maybe someone should suggest that this law should be reformed and it doesn't need to be quite as comprehensive as it's set out to be opponents argue that it could threaten the independence of the digital economy giving the government in france power to undertake limitless surveillance of the population do you think that's fair? >> it's implicit in the law as it exists that you can look for whatever it is that you think you need to exist, and the trickle down consequences are interesting. for french business this means that just as american technology companies are under fire for cooperating with national security agency so, likewise will french companies, so they don't have the expansive share that a google does. and will be more vulnerable to financial boycott.

>> there's a scandal in germany by u.s. individuals and institutions. this legitimizing that at least in france well that will be the united states position that the germans and the french what were notable critics, you know the nsc abuses wikileaks, edward snowden disclosures are mimicking what the united states have done undercutting the early criticism of the united states policy where you rein things in, it seems to expand it. where do you think it will all shake out? >> well it will be interesting to watch the shake out. there's interesting differences. yes, the n.s.a. injests a lot of data in the united states. in the united states the intelligence services are fire walled and don't talk to anyone outside the security services.

in france it's not the case it's known that court which cooperates and helps in fairs ways with business intelligence. what happens when emails are digested presumably from american german russian, that are competing. there are some very interesting implications here. raises a lot of questions. good to have you with us thanks. >> an american writers group is honouring a french satirical magazine targeted by gunmen. it presented a freedom of expression award to surviving "charlie hebdo" journalists. prominent members boycotted to boycott a decision to honour "charlie hebdo". i.s.i.l. said its followers committed an attack in texas, against an event picturing

low-key meeting, and comes during a crucial moment for the region. the war in yemen enters its sixth week without results. the houthis are attacking the saudi border city forcing schools to shut down and cancelling flights. the numbers of death are are rising. concern to the saudi arabia king, he will establish a center to coordinate. >> translation: we hope the united nations will participate with what the center holds. with the participation of the country that is supporting the gulf initiative. >> reporter: the french president is the first leader to

attend. >> translation: you are able to take courageous initiatives. you wage a fight against terrorism. and you were able to develop the idea of a coalition of arab forces. france supports the operation. it's a question of securing the stability of yemen, and you can count on france. >> water from yemen, the leaders discussed the crisis. of importance is the iran perceived interference. >> it has been dressed the importance of reaching a comprehensive agreement guaranteeing the peacefulness of the programme, and ensuring that the countries of the region has the right in the use of nuclear energy under the international atomic energy agency. all the issues will be on the table when the g.c.c. leaders met president obama in washington. the aim is to convey a national

stance on matters. they are hoping to persuade the use that guarantees for nuclear deals with iraq will not allow it to pursue a nuclear programme or interfere in the arab region nuclear talks with iran are set to resume in a week. comments from secretary of state john kerry draw new threats from iranian officials. the speaker of the parliament warned the u.s. that back tracking results in agreement. he was reacting to the comments on israeli tv. inspections of the nuclear facilities would stay in place forever, and not 10 years, as has been discussed. >> reporter: this is duplicity. they make absurd remarks, because they are contemptible persons dominated by the zionists. if you treat the iranian nation and make multi-stated statements, say something in the talks and react differently. the way will be open to enrich

the needs. >> iran's representatives return to the negotiating table with e.u. officials on tuesday in vienna. six world powers will rejoin the discussions a first ever for any u.s. secretary of state. >> coming up where the train made history. >> and my conversation with the ugandan president about the security situation in east africa. africa.

more than two decades after the u.s. pulled out of somali following the tragic downing of a helicopter killing 18 u.s. servicemen secretary of state john kerry arrived in mogadishu to show solidarity in the battle against the al-shabab rebels. >> it was the first visit by a u.s. secretary of state to somali. john kerry's mission on tuesday was to communicate the obama

administration's support for the fledgeling democracy, three years old. somali gets ready for parliamentary elections in 2016, the secretary of state wanted to show the administration support but also to encourage somali to do more to try to improve its military wap caste, particularly as it is trying to get rid of al-shabab. >> i'm here today because somali is making progress in its mission to turn things around. somali forces have pushed al-shabab out of major population centers. a determined international effort put somali's pirates out of business. >> reporter: they have pledged to use military force to degrade al-shabab. they have to deal with the fact that there's no long-term military tradition.

kerry wanted to underscore the willingness to help somali develop military capacity finally, he wanted to deliver the message that the rule of law and free expression are important. to that end he made it a point to met with people who were instrumental in trying to make sure that somali has a healthy cultural environment, not just one what is a state security environment. >> rosalind jordan reporting from nairobi. in ondevelopment we look at africa's role in fighting terrorist. christopher is a security studies professor at george town and joins us from d.c. welcome, thank you for being here. >> security concerns and stability are major motivators for secretary kerry's visit to somali. what threat does al-shabab pose not just in somali, but that region. >> certainly.

one of the things that happened over the last three to five years is as the somali government cotton its feet and dealt with instability and war lordism, al-shabab has become weaker in somali. it like many terrorist organizations has gone out of area in pursuit of interests. as a result, we are seeing al-shabab cross into places like kenya and run operations in uganda and tanzania. these are small operations initially, and are larger operations in recent months. it's likely over time that as this organization loses traction inside somali it will gain traction in neighbouring countries. >> one of the big concerns in the region is the refugee camp the largest in the world. home to more than 300,000 somalis. kenya threatened to close it. secretary of state john kerry announced that it will not shut down for now.

what are the fears about the camp? >> there are a number of fears. it's a remarkable situation. it's very difficult from a humanitarian perupsetive and from a cross-border security perspective, and the environment where organizations like al-shabab can infiltrate radicalize them and call them into the ranks. to the extent you have the camp, it's a concern. if you don't have it there, there's no way to provide the services and care and protection that the refugees need. look the best solution is for there to be stability and a functioning economy, and strong institutions in somali. it's unlikely we'll receive those things in the near term to allow camps to be shut down. when you talk about sevility in

the region how do you see the u.s. role going forward, especially the relationship with somali? >> the relationship with somali is important. we are able to offer diplomatic cover and support and carry the water. it's important in terms of the development institutions the creation of infrastructure and the sorts of things necessary to get the economy going. it's important to remember that there are two regions in somali. somaliland and puntland with functions institutions and economies. to the extent that people can build on the model, it's a good way forward. there's residual problems with piracy piracy, something the united states and the international community is taking a role. there's a transporter problem with al-shabab. one of the most important things the united states can do in the near to medium term is help the kenyan government learn the hard lessons that the united states

learnt from its count insurgency operations in places like afghanistan and iraq. the most important is don't alienate the population from which al-shabab is likely to recruit future weapons a tool or weapon of war - drones were used in a strike to kill a senior leader of al-shabab. do you see that as a course of action. you talk about not ail yebating the -- alienating the population. >> we are talking about the somali population inside kenya, not just in the refugee camp mentioned earlier, but in urban areas in the north. that is a place where al-shabab tried to recruit. the conversation we have about drone strikes in the united states is different from the conversation people have about it in the somali context. there isn't the backlash that we have seen in places like pakistan, it's a little more - i don't want to call it dramatic

but pragmatic, that the somali government endorsed the use of strikes. they are unlike places like pakistan. there's more united nations coverage for the international community, and states like the united states to go in and deal with piracy and terrorism threats. so from a legal perspective it's not the situation we see elsewhere. and pragmatically the former leader of al-shabab was not well loved among the somali people. he was a source of significant instability and hardship in that country. it's important to keep the local perspective in mind. >> thank you for joining us. >> the president of uganda is in new york city for meetings with the u.n. i sat with him to discuss a variety of topics. we talked about security and the upheaval and the section in africa, from the civil war in south sudan, the central african

republic, and unrest in the democratic republic of congo. the counter political protest in burundi and the threat of al-shabab in kenya. i asked yoweri museveni about uganda's place. >> the region i live in is interesting. >> that's an optimistic way do it. >> it is interesting. we have commits growing at the rate of 6% 7%. ethiopia uganda. however, we have problems. it's interesting, wrath rather

than dengs. al-shabab threatening the neighbourhood. they conducted an attack inside uganda during the world cup. how important are the anti-terrorism efforts? >> well, this is not the first time we have dealt with terrorism. it was promoted many years ago in the 1990s. however, we shall fit the terrorists groups. they are defeated. when you see them attacking shopping malls and schools this is of course because they can't attack anything else another army barracks. they cannot attack a police

station. they cannot attack the convoy they attack soft targets. the moment you take care of that capacity to attack unarmed people, then they will be finished. >> are you hopeful they'll be finished soon. you have to deal with the lord's resistance army what is left of it as well in uganda and congo. >> by being reduced to attacking only the soft targets, that mean they are - the issue is to deprive them of residual capacity. >> people are dying in the soft targets. >> offing. >> uganda has troops in more countries to help with the fights against terrorism and other violence than any other country other than the united

states. how important is that mission for you? >> well it is important. it's most important, what are the important things are you doing, it's an effort. we are sure it is paying off. >> how important is your relationship with the united states? as you know secretary of state john kerry just visited somali. >> well, our relationship with the united states is good. >> are you cooperating actively in the fight against terrorism in africa? >> yes, yes, where we are involved. we are involved in somali in south suitan. the average american what comes to mind is idy amen who has gone to power. what would you like them to know. it is transforming them from a

middle class society. it is different. interested in africa. what do you hope for the future of uganda. >> prosperity integration so we have a big market of africans. >> how will that be possible if there is so much violence in so many of the countries around you. >> if you go to the countries that have war in africa. you have an area mali south sudan, you could add others. there are many that are

peacefulful . we have less war than previously we'll have more on the conversation including homosexual laws, and the future of the presidency. >> grim determination in nepal. 10 days after the earthquake search for the many missing and a view of the migrant crisis in the mediterranean.
