9:08 am
soldiers were also killed. before going to this military base the attackers went to a nearby town, where they went to a mosque where people were praying and approached against the government and the continued presence of troops in somalia. they went to a dispensary and took medicine and to a school and burned mattresses. this happened on the eve of a series of attacks that started here last year and then spread to neighboring villages where throws to 100 people were killed. that's why i'm here. the memorial, what's happening behind me is a memorial service to honor those people killed in those attacks. i spoke to some survivors. >> he happen just started rebuilding his hotel a year

9:11 am
>> a real frustration that it seems very little is done to look after these people, protect them. why is it proving so hard to defeat al shabab? what's going on? >> the headache for the government now is we have al shabab in the country. the government has said many times before that that ship has sailed, these people are already in the country. the government has said that there's active recruitment going on. some of those people who carried out attacks including the attack recently at the garissa university where 148 people died some of those people carrying out the attacks are actually kenyan. this is a very big concern to the people here and a very big concern to the government, as well. we talked to some government officials who will tell you it's very difficult to differentiate but that basically, they are fighting a faceless war.
9:12 am
these are people who are entrenched in the society. some of these people are being protected by communities. they have relatives here. they have friends here. they are being protected here, but people are saying that really, their concerned and questioning increasingly the role kenya's playing in somalia. is there an exit strategy, should there be an exit strategy for the troops in somalia because al shabab leaders have many times said that they will not stop attacking the country until kenya withdraws its troops. the president has been animate saying the troops will say in somalia until the job is done. >> thank you for that, catherine sawyer. >> still to come on the news hour britain withdraws its spies from over seas operation after russia and china crack files from edward snowden. >> protestors take the symbols

9:14 am
flying overhead searching for animals. they are all believe to be headed towards the mountains in the southern part of the city in the neighborhoods which are the upscale tbilisi. >> do you know how they were able to escape in that. >> the zoo which is in low ground next to a creek which is normally virtually dry just last night was overflooded with water, coming from all sides. it washed cashes and people into the zoo area and animals were able to escape by either swimming out or the cames were destroyed and they just made it out. nobody knows how many. there are about 600 animals
9:15 am
totally in the zoo and they estimate about half of them escaped. >> that's a lot of animals. tell me about the stories you are hearing that incredible picture of a bear on somebody's air conditioning outside. what have people said about the incident? >> people have been warned to stay of inside, but, you know, for some people, it's just too surreal to comprehend that there's actually wild animals roaming the streets so you might see some people, this morning i saw people with their children out on the streets while just a few blocks away, a wolf was shot on our street. there was reportedly a tiger was said to be playing or wandering in a school yard, chasing a dog and then it disappeared. all the animals are believed to be headed up towards the mountain, so the south of the city. >> i believe everyone's getting involved in trying to get these
9:16 am
animals away safely. i mean, obviously that's a bit dangerous. tell us a bit more about the rescue operation. >> well, i don't think the authorities are really quite prepared to away at your animals. there's been reports of, you know police having to shoot animals, because these are dangerous animals and they have really no options. the hippopotamus was tranquilized and brought back to the zoo so they're prepared on a a very limited scale but not on such a large scale. nobody knows exactly how many tigers and loy i don't knows are wandering around. >> thank you for updating us on the situation. keep your door locked. >> dozens of migrants are stuck in a town on the border with france. french border police are

9:19 am
prisoners of conscience as defined by the group amnesty international. >> will azerbaijan be releasing those political prisoners. >> there are no political prisoners in azerbaijan. there are people in prison for criminal offenses. there are courts that take decisions on these cases and no so much state can interfere with the addition of the court and change it. >> though european union leaders have stayed arm from these games in protest azerbaijan is still a valuable energy partner and the e.u. seems unwilling or unable to exert its will. these world leaders who were embarking for the games and met on the sidelines suggests there are other partners azerbaijan can rely on. al jazeera baku. >> the u.k. has pulled spies from overseas operations after russia and china cracked secret files in the possession of whistle blower edward snowden. he is currently in russia where he was granted asylum in 2013.
9:20 am
we are joined from there now. why did they pull these spice? what do we know now? >> well, jane, we have to be cautious. this story has been published in the sunday times and on sunday, we've contacted the home office, the interior ministry here in britain as well as the office of foreign minister david cameron. they have not been commenting on this report, however there are other outlets that have confirmation. they have unnamed sources in the intelligence service to corroborate what the sunday times is saying. the sunday times is reporting that as you're mentioning, edward snowden ended up in russia given political asylum. the paper is reporting this russia and china have now managed to access some of those
9:21 am
1.7 million classified files that edward snowden downloaded before fleeing from the united states. an unnamed source is quoted saying in some cases intelligence agencying mi6 having to pull agents off operations to prevent them from being identified and killed. now in the last few hours britain's foreign minister, phillip hammond has said that the actions of edward snowden have already caused considerable damage but the unnamed officials in 10 downing street, the prime minister's office in the sunday times have said that there's no evidence so far that anyone has been harmed, so i think that at the moment, the details are very murky jane. >> i was going to ask you about the credibility that you touched
9:22 am
on in the beginning. as we know, for a long time, they are desperate to get their hands on him. where are we as far as that is concerned? >> i think that these latest allegations in the sunday times really won't change many opinions. there are plenty of people around the world who's edward snowden as having done a great job for liberty if you like. he's exposed the way that certain governments carried out mass surveillance programs on innocent civilians. on the other hand, there are many people in western governments who are extremely worried about the implications of what he's done. they've said that he has acted against their national interests and that in the long run would have exposed and put agents and spies, if you like, in danger. what's come out in the last 24
9:23 am
hours will perhaps just hardened tuesday. his critics will say this strengthens their argument that what he did was extremely dangerous and that he does deserve to be put on trail. some people have called him a traitor in the united states, other people assert he's a whistle blower and somebody who simply stood up tort rights of the average citizen. i think that's where we stand at the moment. >> ok, thank you. >> a space probe traveling on the back of a comet has woken up from seven months of hibernation and made contact with earth for more than a minute. it was the first spacecraft to land on a comet last november, conducted some experiments and sent data to earth for 60 hours before its batteries died. it went dead. there were hopes as the comet came close to the sun the solar panels would recharge its batteries. it appears the craft has done just that.
9:24 am
>> let's get to the weather. i believe you want to talk about a nest of tropical cyclones. >> in this el niño year, you often get more hurricanes, they tend to be off the coast of mexico. we've had the first three as you know. this is the third one. this bright disk from 24 hours ago, it's been doing very little in the last 24 hours. the last 48 hours, it's been spinning. it's now a hurricane category one. gust be 160 kilometers an hour. this is stronger than at this time yesterday. as it goes up the coast of mexico, it probably will make landfall. i said it was a nest of hurricanes. we have this massive cloud here. doesn't look much and isn't much yet, but has the potential to develop again possibly into a
9:25 am
tropical cyclone maybe a minor hurricane. probably in the gulf of mexico, drifting toward the texan louisiana coast. we don't really want that. you've got the hurricane running up this coast and this massive rain headed toward that very direction. texas and louisiana have reason to worry sadly yet again. >> thousands of people have marched in hong kong in the leadup to the vote of the electoral reform plans. it's the first planned with the pro democracy calling on politicians to veto the plan. sarah clark has the latest from hong kong. >> in sweltering heat, they marched through central hong kong. streets were closed at pro democracy reporters returned to where the long running protests began.
9:26 am
many were holding what's now the symbol of this protest organizers expected as many as 50,000 people to marsh. the turnout fell short of expectations. >> we want to gather the assembly to show our support to members of council to vote down the proposal. >> 5,000 police were mobilized to controlled crowds. the rally was peaceful, as pro democracy groups called on all legislators to vote down the government's electoral reform package. >> this rally i think is for those of hong kong citizens that want to make sure that of a veto of the vote of a government proposal. >> all candidates would be screened by china. that proposal triggered two and a half months of protests last
9:27 am
year. >> this is the first of a number of rallies planned this week with the vote expected in the legislative council by friday. the government needs a two thirds majority if it's to get the bill passed. so far it's yet to get that support. al jazeera, hong kong. >> operations have been suspended at one of south korea's largest hospitals in the center of the mers outbroke. seventy cases were linked to the medical center in seoul after a staff member developed symptoms. 14 people have died from the virus in south korea. >> rohingya muslims have been fleeing myanmar for decades after being denied rights. maybe have tried to enter neighboring thailand. for many there life can be a struggle. we hear one refugee's story. >> a rohingya, he fled myanmar 20 years ago.
9:28 am
he runs a small stand. he makes a meager $10 a day to feed his family of five. like many of his fellow rohingya muslims, he left because of persecution, but fled well before the recent violence that prompted a spike in the number of migrants. muhammed left because he attacked undercover soldiers. they were beating his father before they took him to prison. years later the incident is still raw. >> i never saw my dad again after he came out of prison. i threat to bangladesh and then india. i came back to myanmar and then ended up in thailand. >> we are not showing muhammed's face. his work permit is for construction not selling food but he is better off than new arrivals. >> rohingya who came years ago can work with a permit. the ones that arrived over the last couple of years cannot as they don't have any documents.
9:29 am
>> that's because myanmar's government doesn't recognize the rohingya. it views them as illegal immigrants from bangladesh. he has a centuries old history of baddism and known as a multi-cultural community thanks to its location along ancient trade routes. the recent arrivals hide their identity. >> the mosque was founded over 100 years ago. it's congregation has been growing. >> we can't really identify if they are rohingya. they have told us that they are not rohingya, but burmese muslims. >> for safety, muhammed doesn't tell people his background, as they are many buddhists from my myanmar. the violence in his former home has been drawn along it nick and religious lines. he can't go back but encourages the rohingya still in myanmar to stay on.
9:30 am
>> they should stay and fight not with guns, but fight with law and prove that we belong to that country according to our history. >> as muhammed watches that fight from afar, it will be a difficult one, as myanmar's government has shown no sign of changing its treatment of the rohingya. >> stay with us, stories still ahead, we meet those finding it hard to rebuild their lives after civil war. >> the twist indies and australia, who said set to deliver the knockout blow in jamaica? details coming up.

whether he's in the country or not is resolved. he is in the country. it has i am applications to hand him over. the court just adjourned its hearing for 15 minutes to decide on the matter as to how he is ordered. an order forcing him to stay in the country will be -- >> what do you think should happen to him from a legal point of view? >> it's very clear, he needs to be arrested. he needs to be turned over to the i.c.c. he is facing serious crimes by the i.c.c. research also suggestion that
9:35 am
crimes against humanity and war crimes have been committed. south africa as member state clearly provides a duty on the government to arrest him. there is no question they need to arrest him. >> tell me what you think is going on, the fact that he feels he can fly into a place like south africa, putting at odds what you just mentioned and the fact that nobody particularly within the african union is keen to hand him over. >> we're all taken by surprise. we were told that he will never step foot here in south africa and we do not know there has been any assurance given to him by that the authorities, which they can't. it's about neglecting their constitution implications. what we heard from the government yesterday was complete denial about him being
9:36 am
in the country. we have a debate with the i.c.c. forming that he -- country at the invitation of the south african union not the government, but this is nonsense. the implication in -- >> does the african union have a point saying people are being unfairly targeted by the i.c.c. >> unfortunately that's one of the dismissive attitudes we hear today, which is absolutely untrue, if you look at all pending before the i.c.c., all except one -- there is no case to suggest that the i.c.c. is hunting down africans. >> the court has adjourned for

9:39 am
commit any crime and that he will not step down. >> i have a constitutional responsibility. it's a responsibility to which i wasn't named. it was a decision by the people through the ballot boxes in a vote. it's a constitutional mandate so i'm willing to face these situations, these proceedings but i will continue to work up to the last minute to serve the guatemalan people. >> it's now up to congress to decide whether to strip the president of his immunity from prosecution. >> it's not exactly clear in this moment what will happen. i think the congressional commission will look at the president, but also try not to generate more social objection against the congress. >> those involved in the first demonstration that led to this movement say guatemalans need to be more vigilant than ever. >> we can be alert, we can be
