u.s. on a variety of economic, political, and strategic security issues. it's a country that needs to be engaged. >> the second most populace nation in africa with more than 90 million people, ethiopia also bolts sub sahara's fastest growing economy. market potential china has been cultivating aggressively, pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into roads dams and other infrastructure, including high profile projects like addis ababa right railway. >> i think of the president and u.s. generally will be interested in opening more economic opportunities for u.s. companies, rather than just leaving it to the chinese. >> ethiopia is also a continental hub home to the headquarters of the 54 member african union which president obama is scheduled to address. >> this will be the first leader of the united states to address the african union as such, and

in fact, the first leader of a major world power to do so, and so this is an important step, recognizing africa's strategic importance for the united states and its place in the world. >> african union forces are at the fore front of the fight against al shabab, the somalia based al-qaeda affiliate that massacred 148 people at kenya's garissa university this past april. president obama will also meet with african union members working to bring an end to the civil war in south sudan that's killed thousands and displaced millions. >> this trip is not without controversy, human rights concerns president obama has promised to address candidly.

al jazeera. >> before leaving for ethiopia today, the president gave one final speech in kenya. catherine so i is in nairobi with reaction. >> president obama received arousing welcome in this arena. >> the u.s. president said kenya is a success story with a vibrant economy and good democracy, but is also well aware of economic inequalities and endemic corruption. >> across the country, one study shows corruption costs kenyans 250,000 jobs every year, because every shilling that's paid as a bribe could be put into the pocket of somebody who's actually doing an honest day's work. >> outside the arena thousands

of kenyans line the streets. they see this as a homecoming and so they went all out to welcome him. >> most of these people have been here since early in the morning just to catch a glimpse of the motorcade of president barack obama. they've been following keenly what he's been saying. they, too have the expectation. >> this man where obama's father was born was hoping to catch the president's attention unemployment is his biggest concern. >> i'm a graduate,ive a bachelor degrees, a master's degree. i don't have a job in kenya. i cannot go get a job in this country. >> president obama also focused on the threat from al shabab fighters from neighboring somalia, counter terrorism empowering young people and trade, matters that resonate with people here. >> his presence alone is enough.

>> we are very grateful to receive a platform of how he can, he has embraced youth and women. >> glad bless you, thank you. >> he left the arena on a high. out here, they didn't close to him, they just hope his visit will mean prosperity. al jazeera nairobi. >> let's bring in an african analyst and former executive director of the organization africa action. he joins us from washington. we appreciate your time so much. if president obama did not address any important issues, whether it's women's rights, human rights, terrorism, the economy, unemployment, if he didn't address anything of any significance and he simply went to visit how important would even just that visit have been,

in your opinion? >> it would having have been very important for kenyans and the rest of africa. this is a president who has always emphasized his african roots and african connections despite the fact that, you know, he had -- he did not know his father well at all although they wrote letters back and forth. i think the personal symbolism was important but it did address important issues. as an activist, i had been unhappy that since he spoke about democracy in ghana six years ago he that hasn't emphasized that enough, but today in the stadium in nairobi his screech was long on democracy and he talked about that as the first pale home run of progress, so i think the visit has gone significant. he talked about the rights.

we'll see if follow up. >> were you surprised that he mentioned women's rights? he specifically said treating women as second class citizens is a bad tradition. it is holding you back. imagine if you have a team and you don't let half of the team play. do you think that can have an impact? >> i think it will have an impact. you know frankly kenyans the leadership and the society itself are on the same page with him. as we mentioned mr. obama went to kenya 30 years ago before he went so harvard just after his father died. even then, he was talking about sexism and bad treatment of women in africa. africa is changing, the kenya president did not any of any push back. his park back was on gay rights. with women's issues, mr. obama got the biggest applause when he

talked about the treating women right, so there's no controversy about that. of course given his stature his connection, when he says it, it's loud and therefore it will get into places that didn't hear it before, but i think everybody agree that is that has to be done. it's an embedded thing in the tradition, so it will take time, but nobody disagrees with him that women should be treated like second class citizens. >> reporting on how engaged china has been in africa, what roam do you think pure economics and business ma played in this, that president obama feels that perhaps the u.s. i also a bit behind the eight ball only, a bit late to the game and truly engaging on pure economics when it comes to africa? >> yes i think the economics is

very important. you know i mean for one thing this trip was first announced in april and when it was announced the white house simply said mr. obama is going to kenya because of the entrepreneurial summit, so you are right. economics is big and you are also right to recently, china has surged across africa and the u.s. hasn't been doing what he should do. i'm an activist in washington and i don't blame mr. obama for that, i blame american business. i have talked to the chamber of commerce and others and said look you guys know cat limb better than china. china has been practicing capitalism for only 30 years how is it they are eating your lunch in africa. the government can help but in the u.s. private sector, separate from the g, china is ahead. mr. bam ma'am recognizes it, he

has made the point he is looking at youth. he is looking at entrepreneurs and he is looking at investment. china is looking at only trade and investment, where as the u.s. is focusing on other areas. the economic strand is important. i think mr. obama takes it pretty seriously and of course, given his connection witness kenya, he's goings to get more attention than any chinese leader would. >> all right. thank you very much for your time. >> a five day ceasefire is underway in yemen. it began a few hours ago. saudi forces agreed to suspend airstrikes to allow humanitarian aid be delivered. arab coalition forces warrant they would respond to any violation by houthi fighters. >> for the first time since syria's war began president bashar al assad is admitting his army has a problem and has had

to abandon some areas in order to maintain a firm hold on others. >> for the first time singles the war began in syria president bashar al assad admits government forces have a problem. they've been forced to abandon some areas. >> we do have new recruits every day. the military is carrying out its mission, but the syrian army is sometimes required to give up areas in order to hold on into more important areas. we are in a fateful period, and there are no compromise solutions. >> assad trying to put a brave face. >> in order to win and succeed in anything, everybody gets tired. it is quite normal that the state, the army get tired but the word defeat does not exist in our dictionary or in the language of the syrian armed forces. >> for four years assad relied on the military backing of iran

and fighters from the shia muslim group hezbollah in lebanon and enjoys the backingful russia and china. the syrian army is under huge pressure. it once had 300,000 members but according to estimates it has been ruffle halved in size by deaths defections and a rise in draft dodging a fact that assad publicly acknowledged. >> we have everything we need, but there's a lack of human resources. >> isil fighters and opposition rebel groups seized more territory in recent months. they took control of the province of idlib in the north and pushed towards penalty assad's on the coast. various areas colors to the damascus are battlegrounds. >> damascus is the center of power for him p.m. he wants to control the lattica and protect the main highway. they are very important to him

but over overall he's losing ground. he lost in the north and south and center of syria so he is in trouble, really, and possibly no fly scope buffer zone might bring him to negotiation table in the future. >> more fighting has been reported in different parts of syria. government helicopters dropped barrel bombs in northwestern syria, killing a number of people. syria has turned into a proxy war for local regional powers, which would prolong the war. millions are displaced. that. >> nato will hold an emergency meeting tuesday at turkey's request. turkish fighter jets launched a recent of attack aimed at a kurdish militia group known as the t.k.k. the country is taking a double

mill at her offensive, also fighting isil in syria. turkey called for the extraordinary nato meeting. the complex political landscape is adding to already rising tensions. >> in turkey, another attack, this time a car bomb targeted a military convoy in the predominantly southeast turkish province. two soldiers were killed, another four wounded. while no group has yet claimed responsibility turkish officials believe the outlawed kurdistan workers party or p.k.k. to be behind it. it's the latest volt in a volatile 48 hours. a country wary of his intervening in any military conflict is involved in bombing in syria and the p.k.k. in northern iraq.

turkish journalist says a skeptical turkish public simply wasn't prepared for this. >> there are too many questions. if isis is attacking us, why are we fighting the p.k.k. which is fighting isis in any case. on top is turkey strategically speaking and in terms of our spirit, are we capable of fighting two wars in two different countries simultaneously? >> when it comes to renewed holes sits between turkey and the p.k.k., some believe both are to blame. >> the military has been seeking confrontation with p.k.k. for sometime. of course p.k.k. is also to blame and it's very important for them to realize that their length mas, their increasing legitimacy, that's coming from the fact that they had stopped military confrontation. >> according to ankara, national

security is of paramount importance. leaders say turkey has never faced greater dangers. raised weren't just conducted from the air in the past days, on the ground, security forces fanned out across dozens of provinces and arrested more than 600 people with ties to what are described as terror groups. turkey's prime minister declared he will not allow domestic security to be disturbed that the military will take any measure necessary to ensure turks remain safe. now, anger is on the rise. and activists are on the move. opposing war and calling for peace. >> this istanbul neighborhood was supposed to be the starting point for a huge peace rally today. the istanbul governorship canceled that rally and the sponsors called it off, as well, but some committed peace activists have shown up.

they have their peace signs some are wearing peace jerseys and vests but security forces have the now enkirkled the area and many worry this area will be cleared soon. >> many here were supporters of kurdish rights, one reason so many officers were on hand. now, strains in an already out from relationship may have reached that the point once more. >> john kerry and ash carter aren't the only officials trying to convince people to accept the iran nuclear deal. iran's foreign minister is now making the rounds in the middle east. visiting kuwait today next he will go to qatar and then on to iraq. many sunni muslim world guff arab countries distrust shia iran. >> violence in el salvador is at

its highest rate since the 1980's. almost 3,000 people were murdered this year. in june, the toll was 677. we have a report from the capitol an how the military is trying to counter act the disturbing trend. >> a common sight in el salvador, a police funeral. at least 33 officers have been killed this year, some on the job, most targeted while off duty. just some of the victim in a wave of killings unseen since the civil war ended in 1992. june saw nearly 700 murders in a nation of 6 million. the vast majority blamed on criminal gangs the government's response, more guns, more police more patrols. for so long, police were the hunters in this violent gang-infested country. now they're the pray. this female officer buried a close relative on the forbes.

she was 27, the first police woman ever to be killed in the nation's history. >> >> she still walks the beat, caring now for two families on her one salary. a gaining leader wouldn't admit that gangs are responsible for the massive spike in killings or members have been ordered to target police. scroll police say there are no

death squats, but said officers should feel free to shoot gaining members when they feel threatened. both feel under attack. there are fewer killings this month than last month. >> a new truce could prove as controversial as the last one agreed in 2012. >> no negotiating and no end in sight to the killings. al jazeera, el salvador. >> up next, bernie sanders gains

ground in the polls. how big a threat is he to the democratic front runner, hillary clinton? why this could be a much deadlier year in the u.s. for the west nile virus.

>> authorities in bowling green kentucky are trying to find out how and why an amusement park

ride stiped over killing 12 people. the ride was located at beach bend park. some hurt were children and officials say seven people had to be hospitalized. none of those injuries were thought to be life threatening. >> one of the five armed service members killed in the chattanooga shootings has been laid to rest. he was shot by mohammad youssuf abdulazeez on july 16. he was buried this afternoon after a funeral in woodstock georgia. a funeral for marine begunry sergeant tomas sullivan will be held tomorrow in massachusetts. the u.s. senate was at work today in a rare sunday session. senators will have to vote on whether the affordable care act should be repealed, a proposal that must be voted on in order too pass a major highway bill. republicans are not expect to get the 60 votes they need to repeal the law. >> no polls show senator better than they've sanders gaining some ground on the front runner,

hillary clinton. he is near to new orleans. he has 19% support among democrats, up from 15% last month. hillary clinton has 56%. our political correspondent michael shure joins us from los angeles. michael, obviously hillary clinton still has a significant lead however, do you think her campaign is concerned? >> you know, i would say that the campaign of hillary clinton is more concerned about hillary clinton than they are about bernie sanders right now making sure that these issues about her emails, that's the latest that have come up, are not going to dog her campaign. i think that they see bernie sanders perhaps in new hampshire as a viable opponent. they don't eit in iowa and don't see it overall. they say they are prepared for the onslaught they are going to get from republicans about the

email and benghazi. she agreed she would be testifying on benghazi, as well. those are the issues they are more concerned with. as far as the field goes right now, that would be it. >> the emails, guess who had something to see about the emails. republican candidate con r. donald trump had somethings to about the emails. >> what she has done is criminal. >> what exactly are you saying is criminal? >> what she did is far worse than what general petraeus did and he's gone down in disgrace. what he did is not as bad as what hillary clinton did it's similar, but not at bad she got rid of her server. he never did anything like that. >> this is from cnn this morning. these are he maims from when hillary clinton was secretary of state. take it away, michael. >> how do you take it away from donald trump? i guess in a sense everyone would love to. this is what you come to expect from donald trump but what he's able to do there also is bring

general petraeus in there. he's able to talk about the military, able to repeal to the republican voter. this isn't just about trashing hillary clinton because there isn't a candidate he hasn't trashed. i think somehow ted cruz has avoided that thus far but scott walker had to and we'll get into what happened there. this is more trying to cast himself as a real republican who will speak up and also embrace the military. there is still a lot of love for general petraeus because of his standing with the military. >> he is going down the list have all the canned dates trump, that is, and what etch has said about governor walker, saying he mismanaged the finances of the state. >> he is going to iowa with that where scott walker that led donald trump and scott walker is a neighboring sitting governor there and finally even though donald trump has worked to reelect scott walker

to help him through a recall, he's now saying now that scott walker has made fun of donald trump, it's open season. he's picked on him for mismansionment of infrastructure for not going back on his pledge with common core. he eachs the political reality here. you're seeing the politician say look, this guys in first in iowa and all the polling, so i'm going to start going after him now, because i need to politically. >> let's talk about political candidate mike huckabee whose entered risky territory. in an interview with breitbart his holocaust i am manuary when not talking about the holocaust was criticizing president obama and the iran nuclear deal p.m. he said it is so naive that he would trust the iranians. by doing so, he will take the

israelis and march them to the door of the up convenient. that's almost difficult to even say, to paint that type of picture. what do you think the reaction will be to that, michael? >> it made a lot of people recoil when they heard that. it is a curious thing even from someone as religious and devout and in great protection of israel as mike huckabee. he has fallen far in iowa from when he won the iowa caucus in 2008. i think that you're seeing somebody trying to get on the map. i would imagine that mike huckabee regrets using this imagery. everyone who r. has in politics has not had an easy time of it. >> don't talk about the holocaust, unless you're to us the holocaust. >> exactly. >> thank you very much. much more on presidential politics coming up on the week ahead at 8:30 eastern, 5:30 pacific.

>> up next, more on our top story. president obama's historic visit to ethiopia. one of the worst countries for human trafficking could get a more positive rating by the state department. why that worries human rights activists.

>> syrian president bashar al assad said today that his military has had to give up some areas as i have the bases isil and opposition fighters. bashar al assad described an army spriest thin following deaths and draft dodging. the army has now half the ranks i have the had when the war began in 2011. however, assad still vows victory. >> intensifying cross border violence prompted turkey to queen an emergency meeting with nato officials. in recent days, turkish airstrikes targeted isil

fighters and kurdish militias in iraq. turkey says it is trying to secure its southern border. >> president obama is in ethiopia on the second leg of his trip to east africa. today he became the first sitting u.s. penalty to visit the country. the president is expected to focus on security initiatives during his stay. we have more on the president's agenda. >> during his two day visit to ethiopia, president obama is expected to hold talks with the prime minister and senior officials of the ethiopian government on issues relating to trade between ethiopia and the united states. ethiopia is one of africa's fastest growing economies. they will talk about the collaboration between ethiopia and the united states in the so-called war on terror. right now act act has fores in somalia and are involved in

fighting the al shabab militias and just this week alone managed to retake two of the remaining strongholds of al shabab. the prime minister of ethiopia is expected to ask for more assistance to the african union peacekeeping mission in somalia at a time when they are facing cutbacks in funding particularly from the european union. president obama is also expected to meet parties in the conflict in south sudan and the mediators who have been trying to get the two groups together for a year and a half. for this meeting, the president will be joined by the leaders of uganda and ken. >> >> in somalia, al shabab is claiming responsibility for an attack that killed 10 and wounded 20. a suicide bomber drove a truck with explosionis into the hotel.

diplomats and heads of state are frequent guests there. >> the state department is expected to release its annual human trafficking report on monday. malaysia has been taken off the list of countries that have done the least of combating human trafficking. actually the country has not done enough. we have this report. >> rohingya muslims and malaysians rum imagine through bags have donated goods that. they fled myanmar three months ago, only to be trapped by human traffickers, who they say starved and tortured them. >> they would give us a small amount of rice and water. when we would ask for more, they would beat us. they would give us filthy dishes to eat in. we would ask for milk for the children but we were told to give them sea water.

>> activists say malaysia is a major hub for human smugglers. graves of migrants were discoveredual its bored we are thailand. >> over the last period of two years, we see an increase of about 20-25% of persons involved in human trafficking. >> buff in its latest trafficking and persons report, the u.s. state department is expected to upgrade malaysia from its lowest ranking which it was given just last year. the country tear three status prevented the u.s. from pursuing a free trade agreement denying american goods easy access to the booming makes market. with an improved ranking the u.s. can negotiate the so-called transpacific partnership agreement with malaysia and counter china's foot hold in the

region. >> china's influence in asia is growing, the infrastructure bank, so i guess the t.p.a. is a way of showing that the u.s. still has influence in the region, that it still has a presence. >> critics of the policy say the u.s. is ignoring the plate of people like muhammed and his family who are being trafficked and exploited in asia. >> activists believe there are countless people trafficked into malaysia as slave labor and to work in the sex industry. they urge the u.s. to use its political clout to force the government here to take action. al jazeera, kuala lampur. >> the stock exchange in athens may reopen later this week. it closed on june 29 with the countries banks. the banks reopened last week after a loan louped greece to make debt payments to the

international monetary fund and european central bank. officials say they sometime need to finalize details that would loup the exchange to run. >> in california, the severe drought could lead to a health crisis. it's making it easier for people to contract the west nile virus and harder for officials to contain the mosquitoes that spread that disease. >> mosquito fish can only eat so much in sect larvae. it's up to the control district to set traps for adult mosquitoes. >> is this a trap? >> this, this is a fan and they're caught in the net. >> 33 counties have evidence of west nile virus now confirmed by testing mosquitoes and dead birds. that is two more counties than did this same time last year. a 79-year-old woman who died

this week from the disease is the first human careless reported this season. >> anytime there's west nile virus activity, it is worrisome. whenever there's a fatality, it signals us to make sure we're looking and intensifying our efforts and control efforts because we want to be able to do everything within our possibilities so prevent future infection. >> i'm sorting them out by gender and species. >> roberts examines mosquito samples under a microscope while his colleagues consider infection in a dead bird. 31 people died from west name virus in california last year. nearly 800 others were infected by survived, according to the doctor who heads up the vehicle

tore born division. >> the vector control district is fog be, spraying the bushes to kill the motte skeet toes. >> the water behind these grasses is not flowing as freely as it would in a year that had ample rainfall. that could increase the risk of west name spreading. it seems count irintuitive, but the lack of water is actually a problem for those trying to contain the disease. >> the drought this year is expected according to some, to make the season worse. >> contrary to popular belief, a lot of times people think if we're oh in a drought why are we seeing so many mosquitoes if there is no water for them to breathe. because of the drought, those

areas that would have the free flowing water are stagnant and becoming mosquito breeding sources themselves. >> that stagnant water is attracting birds that have few other places to go. when an infected motte skis toe bites a bird and infects it, the bird passes it along to the next mosquito it connects with. >> when you have limited water sources, birds and mosquitoes will tend to congregate in the same areas coming into closer proximity and increasing the likelihood that a mosquito will find a birth to bite, only plyifying that cycle. >> this is a net we take back to the district to sort out by species and gender. >> stanley roberts said the traps he set collected thousands of mosquitoes in just one day. it's impossible to get them all. >> it is the most very much lent disease transmitted by mosquitoes in the united states. it's a disease that i is here to stay. >> 80% of those infected will be

fine. using in sect repellant and preventing a bite is the only way to avoid the anxiety that it could be more than just an itchy nuisance. al jazeera elk grove california. >> up next, reboth the suit. the smithsonians campaign to preserve apollo mission space suit. we'll talk to a former nasa astronaut and why it is so important. >> the agreeing use of e cigarettes.

>> a senior washington correspondent mike viqueira reports about a technological marvel. >> the space suit was a one piece fire proof design, five layers rubber giants and metal rings to connect to gloves and the finish bowl helmet. steel and teflon patches protected the suit from the abrasive lunar dust. astronauts wore a jump suit fitted with plastic tubing

filled with cold water. when all suited up, an astronaut could spend six hours an the surface of the moon. the entire suit, along with a support backpack weighed about 200 pounds. because of the moon's gravity it only felt like it weighed 33 pounds on the moon. later versions of the suit used on the last three moon landings increased the time an astronaut could spend on the surface. >> it's beautiful it really is. >> each was custom fitted and three were required for each astronaut, primary training and backup. >> museum quality replicas can be found for sale on ebay, going for $8,000 to $10,000. mike viqueira, al jazeera washington. >> there is some more information about these suits. in 2011, arm strong said that his space suit was tough reliable and almost cuddly. we should note that actually

buzzal continue in his suit, kneel was the one carrying the camera. it had a gold plated visor to cut down on the sunlight unfitted by the atmosphere. it was designed for moon walks of up six hours with an emergency backup which 30 minutes. the exeter tore was 13 layers to protect from solar radiation and micro meteors. to protect against the abrasive lunar dust were woven steel patches on the boots gloves and back and the entire weight of the suit was 200 pounds, as mike referenced. the smithsonian is hoping to raise another $200,000 on kickstarter to preserve the suit that alan shepherd wore during the apollo 14 landing in february of 1971. for some perspective on what

it's like to work in a space suit we turn to a former commander of the international space station who joins us from houston. we appreciate it very much. so we have not seen the suit in public view since 2006. it's been stored to protect it. how badly was it damaged? what needs to be done to it to restore snit. >> like any piece of equipment equipment likes to be used, otherwise it sits there and things get gummed up and start to degrade. the suit of course was on display. it was removed to kind of preserve i have the and now it's going to be refurbished, so it will be cleaned up a little bit. i'm sure they'll put some lubricants on the giants and polish things up and get it ready for exhibition again. >> how different is that suit from the suit that is you're familiar with that you've worn? >> during my 15 year nasa career i did six space walks two in russian suits. the american suits were direct

revolution of the suit neil armstrong and his colleagues wore on the moon. the big difference is that the suits that i wore were not made to be -- you couldn't be ambulatory, you couldn't walk. the legs were not designed to that you could walk on a planetary surface but the backpacks, the technology inside the systems were all evolved. we could now do six and a half nominal e.v.a. hours in the space suit and have gone over eight hours. they've advanced quite a bit. >> what does it feel like? >> to go space walking? >> with the suits what do they feel like? >> it's a little bit surreal. the suit is a personal spacecraft, you're basically self contained. it's maintaining pressure to keep you alive oxygen, of course, it has a thermal control system to adjust the temperature inside, but you're very much alone, you're out there waving to your bodies three feet away from the back window, but you're

on your own you and your partner out there. you work against the pressure of the suit. anytime you move your arms or even fingers you have to exert energy. we have personal trainers to take us through weight training and resistance exercise and aerobic exercise to make sure we have the endurance and strength to do it. >> what about working in these suits? >> anytime you do a space walk, you're at somewhat elevated risk because you're outside in a space suit as opposed to inside in a spacecraft. you worry about leaks, of course. there might be a leak where your glove connects or your helmet connects, you worry little tiny rocks going at 17,000 miles an hour can kind of ruin your day so that's a concern. fortunately, no astronaut has been hit by any small moors so we hope that continues.

you're at elevated risk when you're outside doing a space walk. >> do you think nasa has learned to better preserve these artifacts going forward or is this just something that's going to happen? >> as far as the preservation goes that's more the smithsonian's expertise. nasa is in the business of engineering space suits and using them. once we're done, it's up to the museums and like the smithsonian to figure out ways to preserve it. those folks are up on the latest technologies and i'm sure they'll do a great job. >> how gratified are you so much money was raised so quickly. >> i think it's great. it's a great indicator of how much people think about space. i take that as a good omen to look for the future for future space exploration probables. >> indeed, thank you for your time. >> my pleasure, thank you.

>> teenagers are using e-cigarettes in record numbers. the long term effects of so-called vaping is only slowly becoming understood. we have more. >> because the brain region responsible for addiction develops before the brain responsible for making good decisions, the adolescent brain is susceptible to compounds such as nicotine. many of the ecigs. >>s are marketed to teens and it's not hard to get them to start vaping. >> i enjoy the taste of it and not get the harmful affect of smoking. >> call them vapors, all are welcome at one of thousands of vape shops across the country. since reporting on it in 2013, the industry has taken off like wildfire.
