frontiers from attack live to our correspondent in paris. the french government has been outlining the threat as they see it. are they facing any resistance to this extension of the state of emergency? >> reporter: well, if there is any resistance that will become clear when the vote is taken in the middle of the afternoon after several hours of debate, but during the course of the morning, being interviewed by the french media members, even of the opposition here in france, they have been saying they will support the government in this move to extend the state of emergency by flee months as you've been-- three months as you've said, to extend the powers to the police,
5:03 am
intelligence, even the judiciary to be able to go in hand do the sorts of things we saw on wednesday morning in that apartment building in st denis, an extraordinarily violent also raid on an apartment in which they believed suspects were hiding and fired 5,000 rounds of ammunition fired. you can't do that unless something like a state of emergency is in place conferring those sort of powers. they will likely get this vote through and, of course, among those powers will be the ability to control public demonstrations and we know already that the government is banning public demonstrations around the climate change conference to be here in a couple of weeks time. many leaders will be here. that will be a huge security challenge. the climb activists planning major demonstrations have now been told they're banned as france prepares for the big important meeting, as you say in a couple of weeks from
5:04 am
now, one question must be more important than, perhaps, any other right now and that is the whereabouts of the most wanted man in france if not in europe. >> reporter: that must absolutely be the most urgent business of the security services at the moment, not just this man abdel hamid abaaoud, but also another individual salah abdeslam, the brother of ibrahim, one of the suicide attackers last friday. it is these two individuals who the police believed may have been in the apartment in st denis or have been recently in the apartment recently based on telephone intercepts surveillance, eyewitness accounts and so on and that's why they went in so hard as they did. it's not known whether they are still alive or on the run and that is because whilst they certainly were not among the eight people arrested, the prosecutor has said that he can't release the identities of
5:05 am
the dead until we know or even the final number of how many were date because of the raid. they may or may not be on the run, but would is this man, abdel hamid abaaoud? my put together a report. take a look at this. this is the man that french security officials believe planned and organised last friday's attacks. belgium born 27-year-old was was seen here in video footage filmed, perhaps, in syria where he spent time fighting for islamic state, date unknown. >> translation: i would like to send a message to those who stayed sitting. stand up, spring, jump, rush for the victory. are you satisfied with this life you have, staying home, sitting at your place, this humiliating life, whenever it is, where you
5:06 am
call yourself muslim, still dare to be called a muslim. >> reporter: according to european security officials quoted in a new york times report abdel hamid abaaoud was fighting in syria and they're making their way back. security agencies became aware of his presence in athens because of a phone call he made. he travelled back to syria. >> translation: look for pride appeared honor. you will only find it in jihadi, sm. >> reporter: the young man who railed against the lives of muslims in europe had himself enjoyed a life of privilege where he grew up. his father owned a clothing business. he attended annex clue sieve
5:07 am
school. among his friends with ibrahim and salah abdeslam. salah abdeslam is still on the run. abdel hamid abaaoud was thought to travel to syria in 2014 where he embraced i.s.i.l. and calling on muslims to rise up. he bragged on line about the ease with which he was able to travel between europe and syria. that appears to be a major security lapse by the intelligence services. accounts of abdel hamid abaaoud suggest a man not just with personal passion for i.s.i.l.'s ideology but something of great value to the group, friends in a brussels suburb, restless drop-outs searching for meaning. it seems he was able to offer him some there are raids in the suburb of mollenbee are k. these are raids related to
5:08 am
friday's attacks in paris. some of the suspects in those attacks had linkss to belgium. security is to be stepped up. 400 million euros will go to fight itting groups like i.s.i.l. in the belgian capital. of course, so many links aren't there between what happened in paris and brussels and the p.m. has been at pains to try to make amends, if you like, by unveiling a program by which he hopes this won't happen again. >> reporter: yes. this is an extraordinary session of parliament and the p.m. stood up and basically outlined the kind of measures that he is going to be introducing in order to preached anything like this happening again and certainly to beef up the belgian security forces which have been criticised in the past six days
5:09 am
since the paris attacks. the limitations are publicised. it is estimated there are no more than 600 state intelligence officers and about a similar number of military intelligence officers. that's barely a thousand people to protect a country and even if you just consider brussels which is headquarters to nato, the european air traffic safety board, a number of banks, the task facing that relatively small number of intelligence officers is immense. i think it has taken on board, the p.m., the scale of the problem abdomen the scale of the challenge that he faces. he announced 400 million euros, he is increasing the numbers of employees of staff of those intelligence agencies and he is
5:10 am
also saying that he is trying to tackle hate preaching and the messages of radicalization. he wants to get stuck into that as well, but he did defend the intelligence services. he said he does not accept the criticisms aimed altered denograting the work of security services. so at the same time as admitting they needed beaching up he defend the work the security services are at work in that suburb of mollembeek where some of the suspects originated. doway know the latest regarding those raids? >> reporter: the latest count at the moment, and one of the problems we have had is the lack of information coming out official sources. there has been no news conferences, for example, from public prosecutors. there have been six raids not just in mollembeek, but other
5:11 am
areas and there has been at the latest count one arrest. it appears that those raids are a combination of old issuess which are being cleaned up, not necessarily directedly to do with the paris attacks, but radicalization issues and a certain amount directing towards the omar ismail mostefai. there's two different types of raids or two different motivations with these raids going on. the latest count is six raids, one arrest for now thank you for that. i.s.i.l. has published a picture of the bomb that it says brought down the russian airliner over egypt in which 224 died last month. the group says lack security at sharm el-sheikh allowed it to smuggle the explosives on board >> reporter: an every day item that could have led to the
5:12 am
deaths of hundreds of people. this is the can of soft drink i.s.i.l. claims it used to bring down a russian airliner. beside it what appears to be a detonator, power source and switch. one bomb expert says based on this photo the chamber is credible >> inside the can itself there's, if it's full to capacity, tubal 2 to 300 explosive in there. serm this is a viable defense and certainly it's the sort of thing that if it was placed in the optimum position could potentially december troy the air difficult questions for egypt destroy the air cart and breach of shell which is going to cause it to completely disintegrate. >> reporter: i.s.i.l. displayed the device on the online magazine saying it was revenge against western countries. the air bus carrying russian holiday makers from the egyptian resort of sharm el-sheikh broke up over the sinai killing

everyone on 31 october. it tuesday russia said a bomb was to blame, a conclusion several western governments had reached. the president has offered a $50 million reward for information leading to those who destroyed the jet. i.s.i.l. claims to have exploited a loophole at sharm el-sheikh airport to smuggle the bomb on board. >> tells you a lot that i.s.i.l. can act away from iraq. also the capacity to bring down an airline is very - al-qaeda have been attempting to do that since after 911. >> reporter: since the crash russia has stepped up air strikes on i.s.i.l. and other opposition groups in syria. i.s.i.l. said it had planned to target a western aircraft, but changed its mind in reaction to reduction bombardments. the release of the photo raises

5:16 am
especially in this type of weather where drones can't be flown. right now only the birds have freedom of movement, but there is a fear that once i.s.i.l. is defeated, the kurds will take over this area and that the arabs who lived here may not be able to return. the commander says iraq security forces are incapable of holding the area. >> translation: we liberated this area. especially here. now we are liberated. we are responsible to protect this area and to now we are responsible and for protecting this area. >> reporter: for now the displaced arabs wait in camps and wonder if they will ever be allowed home. >> translation: we want to go back to you are villages. i would rather live in an at any particular time in my own

5:19 am
>> we know and we are given assurances that any refugee that comes into our community has been fully vetted by the federal government through the department of homeland security and all of the appropriate security checks. >> reporter: so far the u.s. has taken in only about 200 on syrian refugees, but the obama administration plans to admit 10,000 more over the next 12 months. now more than half of the governors of the 50 asme s states say their doors are closes to syrians. >> reporter: the fact is that no governors here in texas or elsewhere have any legal right to prevent syrian refugees from settling in their borders. once the u.s. federal government has given permission to them, they can live whenever they want. muslim leaders here are reluctant to criticise the

governor. they understand how rattled americans are by the recent attacks. they plead for american sympathy too. >> this is all a test, test for everyone, test for humanity, empathy, test as human, how sincere and how loving are we going to be. >> reporter: america doesn't seem to be getting a very good grade on that test >> not really. there's a lot of good folks here in town >> reporter: white house officials spoke with governors in an attempt to reassure them that refugees go under extreme security knee syrians iraqis and afghans make up the majority of refugees crossing over.

5:23 am
- an urgent need for better communication between the nations in the world another issue, an important issue that faced those, the chinese behaviour in the south china sea. did they deal with this issue? >> reporter: they did deal with it. it is an issue that was gradually by the philippines at china's request, it wasn't officially the south china sea wasn't officially on the agenda for any apec event, but it was, when it was brought up, before apec, on the sidelines of the events, and that was most visible when presidential obama came here. he came out and visited a philippine navy vessel that the u.s. gave them to patrol their
5:24 am
waters. the united states said that they see this as really an important issue for all the nations of this region, going back to trade, 60% of the trade, of the world's trade comes from this region. so this is very important. there needs to be free navigation because all needs to use these waters. there was another statement that president obama made and he said that china needs to stop its reclamation process to which was met spokesman back up in beijing from china this is them hyping up the situation thank you very much. wrapping up events in manilla for us. time to look at the weather. you're not a million miles away

5:26 am
to 41 degrees. with temperatures that high there is the risk that we could see some fires sparking off as well. for that reason many of the national parks are going to have to close. 41 degrees, very very hot. further south an awful lot cooler only 19 in melbourne. that's due to a change in the wind direction which will sweep northwards. on saturday down to 23 that's a drop isn't it. thank you very much with the weather. border police in nicuagua have turned back cuban migrants who are travelling from costa rica. cubans who arrived in the u.s. by land have the right to apply for the right to stay. some believe that policy could change as washington and havana improve ties. >> reporter: morning two thousand cuban migrants have made the journey across central america in the last few months,

5:28 am
help. we have offered medical help. it was not the government but the cuban people who did this >> reporter: any cuban who makes if onto up s soil is allowed to apply for residency. those intercepted at sea cannot. many are worried there may be a change in policy. >> there's an impression that the migration law will be changed which tends to be very welcoming to cubans who get to the united states and they receive special privileges and there is a thought, perhaps, that those privileges may be reduced or eliminated over time. >> reporter: the migrants who left the country illegally are welcome to return to cuba, but those stuck here won't give up on their dream making it to the united states still to come on this news hour, we look at how last week's events in paris can influence future events in syria.

5:32 am
france. france and u.s. russia all stepping up their campaigns. over night russian bombs hit oil vomits controlled by i.s.i.l. millions of syrian refugees who are escaping the war facing an increased back lash with some nations refusing to take them. despite continued international criticism, the president bashar al-assad is refusing to budge. russia is backing him by helping his forces take territory from both i.s.i.l. and opposition groups and he is speaking about the paris attacks in a television interview. >> translation: we can start by saying it's a horrible crime and at the same time it's a sad event when you hear innocents being killed. we understand the meaning of losing anyone you know in such a horrible crime. we've been suffering for that for five years. we feel for the french as for the lebanese and russians and
5:33 am
for the yemenis. does the world feel for those people or only for the french? do they feel for the syrians that have been suffering for five years? feeling is about human in general talking more about this then. we can talk to senior foreign policy analyst joining us now. are the paris attacks a game changer would you say? >> yes. actually, now we're expecting to see how the west is going to respond to this after being attacked in europe and france, which is a strategy that we have seen d.a.e.s.h. or i.s.i.s., going out of their area of control and targeting in europe the response, the immediate response has been to intensify air attacks, changing the
5:34 am
targets, of course taking out of ill infrastructure which it needs for survival >> yes. we are seeing bombing in raqqa and also u.s. attacking in the eastern part of syria. a pleat of oil tanks which was avoided by the way in the past. we're seeing to avoid possibly civilian casualties and collateral damage. we are seeing this as a strategy used by the bombing whether it's by the u.s. or france is this likely to yield unity in terms of the international intervention in syria given that the russians and, of course, the iranians also having a very different view of the syrian war? >> i think we need to watch this very carefully pause we need to see whether this is a stat scree by the-- because we need to see whether this is a strategy, or it's more of showing that there is a response
5:35 am
right after the paris attacks because of public opinion in europe or the u.s. if this is a strategy this is going to be another mistake that the west is dealing with another second war on terrorism which is not going to be any different from the first war on terrorism that failed miserably and replaced al-qaeda with d.a.e.s.h., failure of the george bush war on terrorism. what we are seeing if this becomes a strategy, and we're attackd for our culture, which reminds me with george bush narratives, after 2001, if we're going to fall into the same mistake this is going to be a disaster for everyone you don't think that military action is going to yield anything positive in terms of resolving the problem, but what about the vienna process, the talks that have now started
5:36 am
seem to have some momentum and they are looking to be launched come january 1 >> military response is going to fail in my view like all the other military responses in afghanistan, em and everybody-- yemen and every. the only solution is to put an end to the madness, the civil war that is taking place in syria for the past five years. by bombing you're only going to make the security situation deteriorate even further which is more conducive environment for al-qaeda or d.a.e.s.h. or extremist group that's going to operate from that environment. you're only making things worse thank you very much indeed.

protesters. they allege voter fraud. they're accusing the current president to manipulate result to give the ruling candidate the lead. over ten million people in south africa have to access to proper sanitation. with water in short supply, few innovations like a urine diversion toilet has made its way into villages. these term of imprisonments need to be regularly maintained manually and that's something already raising a bit of a stink. >> reporter: this person was over joyed when she heard home was to be fitted with a toilet. that was short-lived when it was put outside. instead of a flushed toilet, she was confronted with one that needs to be manually cleaned. >> it is going to be onold
5:42 am
system. we have to use space, buckets and gloves, we died not to use it at all >> reporter: it's known as a urine diversion toilet. it separates waste from urine which is stored under the building. it is used as compost. she said it's not hygienic or safe. her neighbors are not using it. the chief uses his as a storeroom. >> translation: they feel oppressed because of this toilet. >> reporter: with limited water supply, the $700 toilet is the best option for the area. >> everybody wants the flush toilet. the realities is we don't have enough water to provide these services, but equally, you need to then provide the technology that goes with it and that's an extremely costly. >> reporter: the city is looking at rolling out the toilets in urban areas.

5:45 am
how vital is sanitation and a proper toilet to community health? >> extremely vital. it's a matter of life and death. if you do not have an adequate toilet you cannot lead a healthy life. you can get many diseases. diarrhoea is the biggest killer of people. if you do not have the skills to clean you cannot lead a productive life how can we account for a fact that a country like india has got more mobile phones than it does toilets? >> this is what i call the classical three p problem and
5:46 am
this is about prioritisation of people and demand creation. the three p problem is basically that people think of a telephone first then a television and afterwards a toilet. so it is a big challenge basically to raise awareness in people's heads in fact on what the use of a proper toilet is we have just seen in that report from sadists after how one-- south africa one community is resistant to what appears to be new technology in terms of providing toilet facilities to a community that doesn't have water resources. >> exactly. so this is i think it's very important. this is why my organizations works with local partner organizationss that have very close tie to local communes because when-- communities because when you want to produce a new system like this, it is very important to involve the community from the beginning.
5:47 am
you involve them in a design and in the construction of the facility t if the design ask - is not right, they won't use it. if you don't involve them in the facility, they won't claim ownership we have to leave it there for now, but no doubt we will be talking about loos more here throughout the day because it is world toilet day, but thank you very much for talking to us. still to come on this al jazeera news hour, find out what new job tiger woods will be doing for his country next year.
