10:11 am
hour or so ago, we got a report saying that there was an operation on going at the lodge. when we came, security officers in civilian close told us the surge is almost over. what they were searching for we're unclear, whether it links to the investigation into the attacks at the raddison blu hoe sell on friday. some staff here tell us that earlier today around 6:00 a.m., security officers came to the hotel because they got a call about securing this space. rod son blue is a force many foreigners stayed, many people when they came stayed at raddison blu. there is a sense of fear that other places frequented by foreigners could be targeted. we also heard that the international committee of the red cross sent its staff in
10:12 am
bamako, telling them to stay away from this lodge because there was an operation on going. it is not clear if the operation is linked into the investigation into friday's attack. we have reports that possibly one of the suspects that is still being searched could have been here. still unconfirmed, so we can't back that, but also we heard that a source of mine in the presidency told me that the reason they came to the lodge earlier was because sometimes at this restaurant, saw some suspicious people, people they thought were suspicious and therefore called the police to come and check it out. so we're unclear exactly what exactly is going on, but it is an estimate to, you know, the sense of fear among these place frequent by tourists in mali. a state of emergency i would remind you is in place right now, so this gives police the right to go and search place and

10:14 am
terrorism. many are asking why frequent ken leaders are not standing together and taking part in owny marches. there is also a threat where civilians are also being killed. why didn't they for instance make a unity march in kenya after the west gate attacks or in nigeria after attacks by boko haram. the message being sent here is african leaders are standing together. they are united in the fight against terrorism. >> many thanks for the update. reporting from bamako. >> much more still to come on this al jazeera news hour, including crimea plunged into barkness. 2 million are without power. russia said it's sabotage. >> a giant trail of sludge that's not stopping mud mixed with mining waste from brazil reaching the atlantic. >> britain's tennis players

10:16 am
war crimes were hanged on sunday. the mood is not entirely jubilant. that's because the two men that were hanged were influential politicians and their supporters say that their trial was about neutering the opposition rather than about justice and these supporters have taken to the streets in the past in protests which have resulted in hundreds of people killed in political violence. the government this time has taken extraordinary measures to prevent further violence from taking place. they have deployed tens of thousands of security personnel, of police, border guards, paramilitary units have been deployed in cities across the country. they've clamped down on social media activity with what's app, facebook and vibr closed down for a while now. a t.v. van was fired at by

10:18 am
candidate offering fundamental changes to the way the economy is run, so it's a very, very tight race. there's been voting for a little over four hours and there's still five and a half hours to go. we should get the result later on tonight. the opinion polls haven't been very reliable so far, certainly not in the first round, so we won't really know until those votes start to come in much later tonight who is likely to be the next president of argentina. >> if we look at those polls, he was trailing, went he, in those opinion polls. if that's an indication the people in argentina want change. >> there are vast sectors of the society that do want change, set up with a very high inflation rate here, the farming community was very much based on agriculture, the farming community say there's been no dialogue with the government for the last few years, the market's would like to see change. they are fed up with a number of
10:19 am
different exchange rates with dwindling fortune reserves. there's also plenty of people in argentina very happy with the way the government's been running things, quite substantial social programs, the transport system in buenos aires being renovated, an airline company that now seems to run much better than it used to. there certainly are positive elements here. it's a case of who's done very well under the kirchner regime and who has not, which defines which side of the political divide they now stand. >> ok. we'll leave it there. thank you very much from buenos aires. >> israeli place say one israeli has been injured and one palestinian man killed following a stabbing attack south of bethlehem. it's one of several attacks on sunday. israeli security forces shot dead a palestinian woman in the occupied west bank at a traffic junction south of nablis.

10:33 am
one or both parents. there are no accurate figures on how many there are, but the effect on the children have been immense. the families are struggling to cope with the extra mouths to feed. it's only the tight knit community spirit that keeps these families together. living far from the camps that can provide basic services, that's an issue, because the other fans don't get the help they need. at least 1n.g.o. has said 712 or fans have been registered by them, but that's a tiny fraction of the number of or fans out there. >> the u.n.'s children's agency unicef finding and registering or fans is difficult. >> the primary challenge to the work that unicef and others do in iraq are denied portions to anbar. >> dealing with the needs of or fans is also difficult, because it doesn't have the needed

10:37 am
>> one of the reasons behind this first phase and second faced is political fatigue. many people think the parliament will not reflect their will and there is not much confidence that this election will lead to something now. there is no competition in the election, given the fact that the main opposition movement right now either in the present or outside the country, mainly the muslim brotherhood, the second thing, particularly those people who participated in july 3 coup, particularly talking about the civilian parties are not part of the game right now. the competition is within the pro regime camps.
10:38 am
>> the reality of the situation is when you have news coming out haphazardly and half assed that refers to jason as being imprisoned, but not giving any details and then say he's been convicted but without speaks
10:39 am
filing details, saying that they have evidence against him, but without making public that evidence, it really goes to show that the iranian government has backed itself into a corner. >> do you think it might find that in the process of appeal? >> never say never. you can never rule out the possibility, but because this unjust situation has not followed even iran's only laws, it doesn't in still a lot of confidence that it's going to be resolved using the rule of law. i think this has become politicized both internally, inside ran and externally between iran and the united states. >> have you had word as to how jason's coping with his term in prison? you say it was 487 days he's now spent behind bars. >> well, by all occasion that is we've been able to receive from his family, which they've made very. as they receive information, they say he is not doing well
10:40 am
mentally and physically. that's entirely understandable, given that it's been 487 days since he was detained. you know, there's a violation of jason's human rights, it goes without saying that it needs to come to a swift end. jason needs to be quickly reunited with his family so not only jason and his family can move forward but the overall political situation can move forward, as well, because imprisons innocent people and keeping them behind bars not only ruins lives, but it adversely affects many other innocent lives, as well. people understands the u.s. and people inside iran. >> there is no evidence that jason did anything wrong. do you have any indication as to why he was arrested? >> i agree there is no evidence jason has done anything wrong
10:41 am
and that it's the responsibility of the egyptian government to make that information known, which they have not done. i think jason has become a pawn in a broader political game, bolt inside of iran between people that want iran to be connected to the you said world and people who do not wouldn't those bridges to be built and also between iran and the u.s. iran often says there are iranians in american prisons that should be reds. the people they are saying are in american prisons there because of violations of sanctions. that's different than accusing somebody of espionage and providing no legal grounds, no legal explanation why they are imprisoning those journalists. >> ethiopia's economy is one of the fastest growing in the world. the government is determined to transform the country into a middle income nation in the next

10:44 am
remains one of the poorest countries in the world. its military and vast security have protected the country from al shabab from neighboring somalia. the government said there has to be stability to transform ethiopia into a middle income count rip in the next 10 years. it says the media are free to criticize, but there are limits, including what it describes as inciting political hatred or riots, but it does admit mistakes. >> overnight, we are learning.
