that involved hard methodical work. it isesn't going to be something that happens just because suddenly we take a few more air strikes. that's the kind of hard work that i know france is prepared to do. the united states is prepared to do, and perhapses in the future russia will be as well. thank you, everybody. >> that is the president of the united states, speaking to reporters along with the french president francoise calling it barbaric. on what has happened in the battle against isil so far, saying there have been 8,000 air strike and the territory
1:01 pm
has been taken back, but he told reporters the coalition needs to do more on the issue of syria president said that after the president attacks he says that he understands american fears talking about the worries and concerned about syrian refugees coming into the country. he says the groups like isil cannot defeat us on the battlefield so they try to terrorize us here at home. as he was speaking the question came up, the first question from the reporter, dealt not with the issue of france, and not with the issue of the attacks, for isil, but with the russian plane going down in the skies over turkey. so has already paris taking a backseat to the world's events today? >> part of the ecase. just demonstrates the fact that none of these world
1:02 pm
leaders have leverage. no one seems capable of getting russia to act appropriately. you heard the president say we hope they change their strategy towards syria. hope is not a method on any level. >> i know you have re-established the communications did francoise hollande get what he came from. >> i thought it was interesting from the perspective of president obama, this was not only about unity from france, obviously very symbolic, it was also about unity here in the united states. and i thought at the outset, very interesting you saw president obama have essentially was a do over, from his comments last monday, while he was in france. and meeting world leaders around the g 20, where he was absolutely distainful and dismissive on this issue. you saw the president have a do over try to explain and answer the critics that said he needs to explain the united states to the american people. why it ises important that the united states continue to
1:03 pm
keep it's doors open. the borders are open and accept a relatively modest amount of 10,000. i think there was a degree of unity, particularly on the issue of russia, in the wake of the shocking military confrontation between turkey and russia. that it must if it is to have any hope of being part of this coalition. start focusing it's owe tacks on isil, otherwise, russia is the outliar, so there was an agreement on that. you heard president obama in the last several days talk about the idea for european unity, and the need for europeans to share their intelligence, in particular even something so simple it may seem as a passenger airline list, a watch lift, things of that nature is not being shared now within the union. the president pressing on that. so a lot of unity here, although the bottom line is that the intensification, that president obama has talked about, of the existing strategy, the existing military campaign is going to
1:04 pm
happen, but we heard francoise hollande, boots on the ground, that will not happen from france, and obviously not from the united states as well. both leaders pressing the diplomatic front. no shortage of complications there. >> and mike, reporters pressing both, when will something happen, with regards to all of these issues we are talking about, one of the most forceful questions came from a reporter that asked both presidents when will bashar al asaad be gone in syria? >> both presidents deferring say the focus is on diplomacy, they don't want to get side fracs. there are have been people that have said yes, while the president, the white house called for the ouster of asaad that has not been the focus of the white house policy, when you look at it
1:05 pm
as a practical matter. much more forcefully, many of the gulf countries. be somewhat critical of the united states, in regards to that effort. so the bottom line here, francoise hollande he met with david cameron yesterday, here at the white house today, he will be meeting with angel merkel tomorrow. vladimir putin on thursday. the chinese liter on this weekend, so to build unity, continues now here at the white house. >> for us at the white house, that is the site president over your shoulder, so we will let you get back to doing what you do so well which is covering the story that is unfolding. joining me in studio, is professor edward aronsohn, he is the director of french studies at n.y. u., as he was speaking, i distinctly heard the french president saying that even though he has told the french people that this is a war, there will be no
1:06 pm
boots on the ground. so what type of war is it? are we sees a more measures response than we say in the days after the attacks immediately after the attacks. >> i think he is dialed back some of the rhetoric, but i think what he is saying without using the exact words is that it ises going to be a war on terror. >> the president of the united states, admitting that bombing itself is not going to solve the problem, the problem has to be solved politically, so are they now in lock step, i guess, on this issue of a political solution has to be the main thing to happen veries the bombing the air campaign, and with the absence of no no iraqi troops in there, that
1:07 pm
there isn't doing to be any coalition members putting their soldiers on the front line. >> from a military perspective we seem to take options off the table, as opposed to finding out what the objective is, and then solve it from there. so i think that will these governments pivot and put resources towards fighting terrorism abroad. so i think with the french concerned about what will happen in paris, is are the french citizens still feel say today, almt week after or a week after what happened there. and again, the resources allocated to keeping the french homeland safe. >> how will this play in facer. >> how will the press conference play out. i think it will play well. >> this issue of no boots on the ground. >> it's not clear to me that that's what the french public wants. i think what they want is what mike just said, they want protection at home. they want to feel as though the government is actively and spencely intervening to
1:08 pm
give them security. which unfortunately they haven't seen so well many the last ten months. and so i think that president hollande has reinforced that today, and through the actions of the french police, and security services they are really pretty active. >> and also both of the two secretaries of state, from france and the united states, that seems to be news as well that they are working on a cease fire, and they seem to be relatively optimist take there is the possibility of a cease fire, did you hear that as well. >> i didn't hear that, so clearly. i am perhaps more optimistic than you. >> i think that's -- i hope there can be a cease fire. i didn't get the impression that they expect that to happen any time soon. >> they are doing to have agree to a cease fire, they will have to agree to stop what they are doing.
1:09 pm
they are all the in, they have pushed all the chips in the middle of the table. anything now from the political perk live have to involve them. as they try to hang on and survive what may not be survivable. >> it is 1:08 right now, president obama talking about the situation in syria, also talking about the attacks on france, he talked about the role that he believed that russia should be playing, take a listen we agree that russia could play a more constructive role, if it were to shift the focus of it's strike to defeating isil. and like wide, president and i free the best way to bring peace to syria is through the
1:10 pm
principles reaffirmed in vienna, which require active support for a cease fire and a transition away from asaad to a democratically elected government that unite the syrian people. >> president obama speaking just a few moments ago. our national security correspondent is live at the pentagon, jamie, as i was listening to the president, both presidents the french president and the american president, they talked a lot about the air strikes inside of syria from the pentagon standpoint, is it the pentagon's position that the air strikes specifically the french air strikes are making a disks. >> well, the pentagon certainly believes that the addition -- the stepped up air strike are making a difference. in part because the pentagon is essentially assigning those targets. they are done through the combined air operation center in qatar. so that is part of the coordinated campaign. and what the u.s. military argues is that while it may not seem -- it may not be
1:11 pm
dramatic shift on the battlefield, that it has been slow and steady because the strikes are specifically targeted at things that will have an effect on the ground. and today here at the pentagon, for instance, they showed an example of a bridge that was being used by isil to send truck bombs across to attack antiisil forces and the u.s. military took out that bridge. as an example of what they call terrain denial p. so it is -- there's not a big splash she success to show all at once, but the pent upon is making the argument that over time, these air strikes are having the intended effect. it just isn't something you he so a dramatic result right away. >> >> as always stand by, when we talk about air strikes one reasons why so many people say that air strikes don't work is history, cambodia was almost bombed into the stone age, no one can forget shock and awe, and yet the republican guard simply went
1:12 pm
underground and waited for the bombing to stop, is is there a sense that an air campaign can work against isil? and if not, realistically, if there's not the will on two oof the major players involved if there's not the will to put boots on the frowned, and you can add russia as well, does isil continue to operate so long as it wants? >> yeah, they do. and so the point there about the pentagon showing -- the first thing that a military person asks is why didn't they do that before now, what is taking it so long. it seems as though this campaign is not thunderous, but it is at a drizzle. there's not that many stories -- i don't know if it is rules of engangment, but it is a target rich environment. if we are serious from keeping them from waging war, externally in iraq, and then further beyond inside of in europe and other places we have take away -- >> but it is a target rich environment, in which you have a civilian population. one thing the military is
1:13 pm
doing is trying to make the images that come out, aren't the images that portray them on the evening news. they are dropping the leaflets, telling the drivers to get out, because the drivers will become innocent victims of war. human shields are now part of the dialog that are used is it now impossible to cross a war in an urban environment where you are battling an entity like isil, and even though it called itself -- it does not have a country. >> well, it does have -- it generates revenue. we fight better against nation states as well. but that's not stopping the russians. because they are going after them in certain levels and again, perhaps it has to be leveled and rebuilt from some perspective, but again, the western nations have to decide, whether -- if they feel the fact they hold this territory is contributing to this exportation of transnational terrorism then they have to go.
1:14 pm
>> professor your thoughts in. >> one complication, is that a decent percentage of the people that live within the islamic state are captive. they don't want to be under that state. and so they are victimized by isil, and then they risk being harmed, killed, named by the coalitions air campaign. and so i think we have to take that into account. we are going to take a quick break, believe it or not, there's a lot more happening. the headlines when we come back. the only way to get better is to challenge yourself,
1:15 pm
1:16 pm
1:17 pm
night. joining us live now, she is covering us for us. still looking for otherare suspects. they are not saying whether the shootings last night were racially motivated but the plaque lives matter people say this was a white -- they say it was a white supremacist terrorist attack. the shooting happened around 10:30 last night, near the fourth precinct, protestors have been gathering there for a week following the police shooting. the suspects apparently have been mingled with the crowd. now because this happened outside the police station, law enforcement were on hand, and they were able to help the victims immediately. now clark was a 24-year-old black man who was fatally shot during a police scuffle. a little over a week ago, black lives mat very been
1:18 pm
protesting outside the police station, demanding the release of police video. that video has not been released yet. while the investigation continues. now just a few minutes ago, the mayor of mince annapolis says she is ab heared by this shooting last night. so again, this is a story that is continuing to develop into the afternoon. >> and dianne, what else are people saying about the attack itself? >> the family of jamar clark is calling for calm. and his brother eddie sutton released a statement earlry this morning saying -- or last night, saying in light of tonight's shooting, the family feels out of eminent concern for the safety of the occupiers we must get the occupation of the force precinct and on to the next step. and sutton says he -- is thankful for the support, that the family is getting from the plaque lives matter group, but he ises saying that these protests must end.
1:19 pm
and they have to continue on as he said into the next step, which is the wrap up of the investigation. >> dianne joining froes chicago, covering the events thank you very much. also in chicago, a police officer there now charged with first degree murder. police officer jason vandyke, due in court next hour, he is accused of shooting and killing a 17-year-old back in october of last year. that shooting all captured on a police dash camera. releasedected to be released this week the details of this story. >> this is a stunning development. officer jason vandyke turned himself into authorities this morning and will face a bond hearing later today. he is charged with first degree murder. the basic facts aren't really in debate. back in object of went 14, he and five others cornered 17-year-old on a street in chicago. and none of the other officers fired a shot. but officer vandyke shot him
1:20 pm
16 times. he had been carried a four-inch knife, and slashing tires in the area, including the tire of a police vehicle. and it was later found that he had pcp in his system. however, those that have seen the tape, which is said to be very graphic, and violent, say that he was actually many feet away from the officer, and in fact had his back to him. so that something in depuyt, there's no disputing the videotape showing this will be released later on wednesday, most likely, at least before the end of the day. now, black leaders here say that the first degree murder charge against him is not enough. they say ultimately they want the police superintendent out of his job. and they say what in the world would have happened if this videotape hadn't been released. in fact, it was described as so violent, that once the chicago city council saw the tape, before anyone else, they actually gave his family $5 million even before the family had filed any kind of
1:21 pm
lawsuit. so the city knew this was big trouble for them, and that now apparently has been big trouble for the officer as well. >> and that is andy rose, thank you very much. two princeton now, campus protests aspirins topp university dated back to the vietnam war, there's a new one, and this one is different. this time demanding the name of the school's most famous former leader be taken down. >> for nearly three full days last week. >and from the a campus residential complex.
1:22 pm
wilson was prince topp's president for nearly a decade before becoming president of the united states. but he was also an avowed segregation fist who praised the ku klux klan. while he was in charge no black students combined admission, and later in the white house, they say his systematically removed black officials from the federal government. after negotiations with the student protestors the president release add statement about him saying while much of his record had a very positive impact on the shaping of modern princeton his record is disturbing. of our own history. they say that it is one of the factors that makes them feel unwelcomed. >> there's been many instances where i have questioned my presence here. where i have felt uncomfortable. we are tackling this huge name, but it is about a lot more. >> this comes at a time when
1:23 pm
other oschools are reexamining the complicated legacies of the people behind the names on their buildings. georgetown is taking the names of slave owners off two of it's buildings and clemson is considering a similar move. officials say their board will listen to the. s of the entire community, before making a decision. john henry smith, al jazeera. >> and there has been a fascinating development many the world of medicine. rearmingers at the university of california inserting dna to edit the genes 99.5% of mosquitoes born with that new strain did not carry malaria. the world health organization says that nearly half a million people die so far this year from malaria alone. 17 americans are going to be awarded the nation's highest civilian honor today. one of them is a native american activist who fought for rights al jazeera has the story of and man who helped win what were called the fish
1:24 pm
wars i was 14 when i got arrested right here. >> long time activist gave me a history lesson. >> i just kept getting arrested. went many the marine corps. in '52, got out in '54. started going back to jail again. >> just monthses before his death, he looked back on the fish wars of half a century ago. >> we were fighting battles right and left. all the time. >> and it just -- you know, we'd beat the held out of them. just the right size. and them guys would come up the river with their boats. >> it was a fight for treaty rights for a way of life.
1:25 pm
the for the right to harvest salmon. >> we had a treaty with the united states, and 1916. and that treaty was rode out for using custom fishing grounds which was all of this. the state of washington then started writing laws against us. the game warden sit over and watch this every day, 24 hour as day. west just kept going fishing. there was six of us. we kept going back to jail. 60 days, 30 days contempt of court. >> their fight finally landed in federal court. where frank and other activists won a landmark decision. guaranteeing fishing rights. >> i think everyone listened to billy. i think they took his message to heart. >> the tribe who is
1:26 pm
documented native american life in the northwest, for decades says that victory will never be forgotten. >> he was one of the people that pointed out to all the other tribal members that if we stand up and we stay together, we are going to get there. we are going to protect the fish. >> willey frank jr. honored with the highest award. >> did you ever think about stopping fishing? >> no, no. i mean -- our whole life is about salmon. >> he said before he died he wanted to be remembered simply as a fisherman. history will tell a bigger story. al jazeera, washington. >> and before we go, something a little lighter, we are still just days away from black friday, but some of the shoppers are already starting to line-up. >> we have been doing this for five years together, so it's something we look
1:27 pm
forward to once a year. >> one of the people already looking for bar feigns he is lined up outside river side california, that group has been camping out at the best buy there since last wednesday. one shopper saying he has an eye on a 49-inch t.v. it goes on sale for less than $150 and yes we hope he gets it. thank you for joining us, we want to go back to our colleagues they are broad cast already in progress. >> russian plane near the syrian border by turkey, so a lot of coincidences there, ultimately from what you heard in that news conference, do you think that both france and turkey can count on president obama's full support when it comes to the fight against isil, and i guess achieving any kind of solution to the situation in syria. >> we herd same say like any other country has the right to defend it's air space, but then they quickly moved past that, trying to focus on the
1:28 pm
deescalation of this some of the news, they tried to put the focus on vladimir putin, the russian president coincidentally, president hollande. is set to meet on thursday. s that this should serve as a wake up call. that they need to join the coalition, to make sure this sort of thing doesn't happen again. so get so that happen, the western coalition perspective, that has to meet that eventual that they leave. they also need to stop targeting the groups that the coalition supports, and focus it's efforts on the islamic state of iraq. they say if they choose to do that they will welcome him into the coalition. i think the biggest concern though is this is going to
1:29 pm
serve the opposite effect. that if the russian president doubles down that it will become more and more the fight between the russian coalition, which the president pointed out is just a coalition of two, and his coalition of 65 countries. really, at the end of the day, this meeting at the end of the press conference, what we learned is the strategy isn't going to change that much they say they are going to accelerate it. that it ises going to be intensified but we don't expect any major changes. what this is about is sending the message that they are united. >> today we wanted to share our determination to fight terrorism everywhere. we also want to tell the world that we will not allow those who want to destroy what we have built, generation after generation,
1:30 pm
they will not be able to damage the world. prance and the united states, ban together to from ink that joint response. >> now, after the paris attacks president obama said that he again would intensify strikes that he wasn't going to make any changes to his strategy, and what we heard here, is that he is not going to change his strategy, any kind of ground troops in syria, has just a hand full less than 50 special forces operating on the ground there, so at the end of the day, a show of support, but no big changes in the fight against isil. >> let's go away from turkey a moment. we have a story developing where there's been an explosion in the capitol. local media are reporting that a president carrying presidential guards has explodessed.
1:31 pm
this happened about what an hour and a half ago? what do we know. >> well, i am trying to get to the scene right now. and the roads around -- that's the main boulevard. they are blocked and i have seen people who are waving flags and whistle, i suppose in support of the security forces to visit a very big night for tunisia, because we are hearing that at least 11 people died on that bus. some reports that as many as 15 may have died. there are many injuries as well. the explosion was so loud it was heard across central tun these. and the remains of the bus are some photographs on television, which are being shown, the remains of the bus, really, are charred remains. and the kind of scenes that you see in places like baghdad or cab pull, not
1:32 pm
here. tunisia really is still reeling from the attacks in march, and in june, on tourists there have been more security attacks on police personnel, on national guards close to the border. but if this is really an explosion and a possible suicide pomming that's what some people are speculating here tonight, then this will be the first time an attack like this has happened against security forces here in the capitol. >> this would of course be a corying development. i know as you mentioned you are on your way to the scene of the explosion we will catch up with you and can give us more of an idea of what is going on. live thank you. including the exposed waste
1:33 pm
and miss management. now two journalists and the people that helped them are put on trial. and in sport, france's interior ministry meets to discuss security for next year's football champions. a russ fighter has been shot down by a turkish jet in syria. turkey says it repeatedly warned the aircraft, it also alleged the fighter flew into it's air space which ordered syria. turkey has released the map of the flight path that it alleged the russian jet took. nato has agreed that the jet likely violated the air space. al jazeera is in syria, earlier in the day, he spoke to an opposition fighter who
1:34 pm
was many the area, where the pilots of the downed jet, parachuted down. >> the russian eight violates -- the pilot was shot by the opposition fighters. he was shot while trying to land and he was killed. where did it happen exactly? >> it was on the right of the area. near an area called the northern big river. what about the second pilot? >> the second pilot dropped in the curd mountain area. i have heard from my contacts that he may have been killed but we don't know for sure about the second pilot, his fate is unknown.
1:35 pm
the u.n. secretary general has ordered to avoided taking such steps in the future. tell us more more about what ban ki-moon said? >> well, we heard from ban ki-moon's spokesperson, just a little over an hour ago. it is the first time we have heard from this top level u.n. official, since the russian jet was shot down. clearly there are a lot of concern. a lot of worry, let's first listen to what the person had to say about the situation. >> the secretary general urges all parties to take measures. and he hopes that a credible and thorough review will clarify the events and help prevent future recurrences. and also i think just to
1:36 pm
reiterate what the secretary general has said a number of times, that he urges all those who are enganged in military activities eses specially air campaign to maximize operational measures to avoided unintended consequences and of course, and most important to do whatever they can to avoided civilian casualties and to protect civilians. now the key question is the security council going to take up a meeting relating to the downing of the jet, the short answer is no, at least for now, that's the word from the u.k., ambassador to the u.n., who this month is the president of the security council, he said the security council is prepared to call a meeting but they need a request from one of the member states and so far that has not happened. he said the u.k. defending turkey's right to defend it's
1:37 pm
own air space. he also said again, this word deconflict, he said the u.k. hopes that everybody can deescalate the response, have a measured response to this, to try to tone down the tensions and the region right now. root key point here from the u.n. today, turkey sent this letter to the security council president this month, and also went to panicky moon, it's a short letter only about a page 1/2, what it does is turkey late's out what they say are the facts in this situation. on the downing of the jet. now, again, this is turkey's what they say the facts are, some of these we have heard, but it is worth repeating because it is important to know what turkey is telling the united nations. they say that they warned the two russian planes ten times can the period of five minutes to avoided entering into turkish air space, and then they say the two planes were at an altitude of 19 tow
1:38 pm
feet when they violated air space by over two-kilometers. for 17 seconds and that's one of the two planes went back into air space, but the other was shot down. those are the facts layed out by turkey, in this letter sent to the security council in ban ki-moon. now on the part of russian, the russian am basses door is here, we have seen him several times today. however, he is not issued any sort of response to this letter, and he would not stop to talk to us when we tried to ask him more about the situation. at the united nations, thank you. turkey and russia's recent relationship has been underpinned by trade worth billions of dollars. but the civil war in syria has created new tensions. omar al saleh explains. >> in business terms the two
1:39 pm
countries traded tens of billions of dollars worth of goods every year. more than 50% of turkey's gas is supplies by russia. the president is a major reason for the increasing tensions. russia packs whereas turkey is doing everything possible to bring him down. last month, government leaders complained that two russian jets had violated air space. russia's target also
1:40 pm
triggered a harsh response, on monday, leaders called for the united nations security council to hold a meeting to discuss the air strikes against syrian villages in syria. more than 1,500 syrian have fled their homes and headed towards the border. but it seems the shooting down of the jet is going to be shaped regional and international politics especially towards syria. they are already led to this fight between turkey and russia that relationship there between russia and turkey took a turn for the worst on tuesday, let's speak to al jazeera who is in doha for us. first of all, we have heard a lot of things since we last spoke, which ises about an hour and a half ago, one thing we heard from the ministry said that they have suspended military contact with turkey, what does that mean for the by lateral
1:41 pm
relationship, but also for the alliance? >> it seems to me, the russians have spoken to the turkish military in moscow. it seems to me they have sen hits a warping in moscow. clearly putin is in no mood to talk to the turks now after the plane was down, regardless -- i would think they would think regardless of whether it did or did not violate the air space, it was not -- or should not have been downed. at the end of the day they could have taken to issue up with the russians. so probably -- as putin said, this is a stab in the back. and now, you would expect that a third party would have to step in order to repair,
1:42 pm
bring, or bring them to talk again. >> when you use the words repair, bridge, i guess the events have shown fragile the whole alliance against isil really is. explained that something that wasn't just an western intervention, but it wasn't an alliance that included turkey and arab countries. >> few clearly, this coalition is not box willing it's on the russian side or
1:43 pm
on the tushish side, with the american side. at the end of the day, this is -- poorly armed group that established the state of some sort over a large territory for the life of me why the greatest five or six powers in the history of human kind with using all their mothers and their fighter jets can no even begin to run it down. so clearly these alliances are not very serious about fighting isil. clearly from the beginning we have seen them not hitting isil but hitting other opposition groups to bashar also asaad. we have seen the regime itself, rather than hitting the so called moderate opposition in syria. and we have seen the american
1:44 pm
started their own -- against isil, but again it is a fraction to what we have seen the americans do in places like former yugoslavia and other places. i am doubting the seriousness of this, and i seals to me for a long time, isil has been the pretext for many of these countries to reenter them at least after they were kicked out of them at least. it seems to me -- we heard that yesterday from the prime minister in london, we heard it from the president hollande, we will hearing it more -- they will be building their military -- and the months and years to come. we are in another arms race, because of this little insignificant group, that came out of nowhere. not exactly out of nowhere.
1:45 pm
and they are neglected syria, and so forth. but be that as it may, i think this coalition will have to really get serious about the threat of isil. at least. after the paris bombings after. >> manuel, briefly if you can, but officially we have heard from nato, from the u.s., from france, everyone, saying that turkey had a right to defend it's air space, beyond what they say publicly, do you think these countries are annoyed for perhaps creating the situation. making it even more tense than it was anyway. >> i think i have the sense -- i am not sure if you did from the press conference, clearly the nato allies aren't exactly enthusiastic, but in that sense, i have been saying that throughout the day, i think turkey's message by downings that plane is not only to moscow, it is also to
1:46 pm
washington, paris, and london, that don't ignore territory by building coalitions against isil. or building diplomatic initiatives in syria, because turkey counts, turkey is the central important power in the region, and if you want to do something, you have to go through turkey first. >> speaking to us from doha, thank you. >> the increased push against isil, of course, comes 11 days now after those paris attacks and the move by president francoise allan to gather together the allies to increase the pressure on the group. into those attacks. and paris public prosecutor has been speaking what has he been saying? >> we know there's already a
1:47 pm
man hunt underway, who is suspected of being in belgium right now, but francoise hollande says there's another suspect on the run, who was actually seen at a petrol station two days before the paris attacks. that was north of paris and he is not been named by the french, but the belgiums have said that they are looking for a 30-year-old called mohammad abrimi. they issue add photo of him, and they are clearly appealing for information about his whereabouts. he is now believed to have returned to the concert hall
1:48 pm
after french swat teams have arrived on the scene. that's something that they have from mobile phone tooking. they are also saying that he may have been planning an attack on the same night. november the 13th in the 18th . it is not known why that didn't happen, but also in the last 24 hours they found a suicide belt, a suspected suicide belt with explosives that may have been linked to saleh. so perhaps feeding into talk of him abandoning an attack at the last minute, for whatever reason. so now at least two men with the subject of international arrest warrants and possibly further details to come out from france. >> thank you for keeping us up to date with the developments on that invest face, thank you stimahead, we
