in almost five campaigns. >> japan waiting sent off again on a whale hunt that it calls scientific research. life from doha, the philadelphia 76ers, try to avoided breaking one of the most unwanted records in h nba history. ♪ expand the role of special operations fighters from the islamic state of iraq. the committee in the u.s. is to send a special. >> the government and the before and after. >> it would be able.

>> the operation and let's go to rosalyn jordan live now for us in washington, d.c. what is the story here? >> well, this is really an intensification of the u.s. led coalitions effort, to try to get rid of isil in both iraq and in syria. but as you noted this is particularly focused on iraq. and this is a little more of why ash carter says this special expedition marry targeting force is going to be deployed inside iraq. >> that make them force multipliers. they will help us garner valuable ground intelligence, further enhance our air campaign, and above all enable local forces that can regain, and then hold territory occupied by isil. >> already americans special forces as we know, was announced on the ground in

syria. and this is different from. >> this is something that the obama administration said. back on october 30th that it was going to be doing, that it was going to for example be relying more heavily on raids to try to find key isil personnel, and take them off the battlefield, but what we are really seeing during this hearing before the house armed services committee is really more of a defense of the u.s.' strategy. we are not getting more precise details mainly because they would have to go into classified session, which means those of us on the outside wouldn't be able to find out the particulars of how this will work, but this basically is the obama add min vagues saying we are committed to this fight, even if it means it is bringing us right up to what could be considered the line for whether we are actually enganging in any sort of

frowned combat. up until now, it is only been about 3500 military advisors who have been providing intelligence, and training support to iraqi and kurdish forces, not actually being so close working side by side with them, on these types of missions. particularly in iraq. >> two questions around this, if we can, these groups of fighters, these u.s. fighters it is going to be a bigger number than it is at present, i understand, teem me about that, and expand a little bit more of the concerns about mission. >> this does raise the specter, some of the members are particularly the democratic members of the house armed services committee have raised that question about whether there does need to be a formal legal authorization, for what the u.s. has been doing, in operation inherent resolve as it called it in iraq since

august 2014. and a month later in syria. september 2015, however, they haven't gotten into too much of whether or not there should be this legal authorization put there is that concern, because then you raise questions about what other forces will need to be proud in, whether or not the u.s. is taking on an operation that by rights out to be more heavily carried out, by the iraqis themselves by other countries in the middle east, it is going to renew that discussion, particularly now that this new deployment has a name. and has the imprint of doing things that would be considered combat work. >> inside the return of the capitol building, thank you. between the lebanese army, and the armed group, 16 soldiers released after being held by the syria based rebels for more than a year,

under that deal, lebanon's freed 13 prisoners among them an ex-wife of the leader. the details. back in the arms of their families 16 freed by the front. the result of a delicate prisoner exchange, which took a year to negotiate, they were captured in the northern city, after fierce fighting broke out between the group, and the lebanese army in august last year. >> the government to take the same steps to negotiate the release of our comrades being held by isil. >> 13 associated with the front, the syrian rebel group linked have now been released by the lebanese government. >> it is not only who have taken hogs tajes in all, 13 lebanese security personnel were captured in the summer of 2014. four were executed, one subsequently dies of injuries, nine others

remained in captivity. >> but they are being held by isil, a group which is art war. the lebanese government says it is doing all it can to secure the relebanese of the remaining hostages. we have a target a big target, that is real challenge. i mean the military personnel being captures by isil, and we need to free them. and liberate them. for the sake of lebanon for the sake of our nation. among those released with us the former wife. she insists, though, she had nothing to do with him. >> they said i am the wife of al baghdaddy, i have been divorced for seven years. he was not at that time. i wanted to go to turkey, i will go once i get my passport. i will be in beirut, then i

will go. >> meanwhile, the families of those released some of whom have been camped for months spoke to al jazeera about the release. >> i can't with hold my happiness, i thank for their safe return, and we hope we will see them soon. >> their return was a dream for us, and thank god it happened. we thank everyone who works to secure their release. >> tuesday's release will ease pressure on the government, which has come under increased criticism since the soldiers and policemen were captures. it may also boost the standing of the front, presenting them as a group that countries and governments can potentially strike deals with. al jazeera. >> a country that helped broke tear swap between lebanon and the rebels here is what the ambassador to lebanon has to say.

>> in accordance with the shift. his highness is always keep to take any human initiative, so we are ready under the directions of his highness, because you know that the state of qatar is to maintain the dignity of people's and individuals. >> let's bring in, the middle east center joining us now via skype from beirut. first up, was this about something suiting both sides or was money involved do you think? >> it's not clear. it is likely there was money involved. but it has been announced as mainly a prisoner swap, among few other conditions. including the provision of medical services and support.

marley to those who are stranded in the mountains. one of those who was released from jail, had been arrested for transporting terrorists into lebanon. is this likely to change the dynamic of the difficult position of that country finds itself in with regard to what is happening. >> i don't think it will change the dynamic, it might encourager further kidnapping in exchange, now that there has been in terms of exchanging prisoners. in lebanese prisoners for others. by i don't think it will change the dynamic as such. what it has done is elevate also the position as the reporter was saying it has elevated this eminto a group that is able to negotiate with states. >> they are able to secure not only their own people, but they have actually gone as far as securing the wife of the former wife as well.

>> what about the suggestion made by some people that this could see the breaking of a political deadlock that has been? >> well, it's not this as much as -- i mean it is this and it is coincided with a apparent break in the political deadlock over the presidential election. this has been discussion of at least one candidate has been floated around. so the zones that there is some movement on multiple fronts is making people wonder whether there is -- this is part of a larger me negotiation that includes syria, and we are beginning to see some results in lebanon or something that is more domestic. it isn't very clear, it is likely to be part of something bigger, but it isn't very clear. >> all right, we will keep an eye on that, what about your earlier suggestion, that it

makes the front stand out from the other fighters in that the -- captures enemies. well enough to be able to -- >> the prisoners actually seem to have been -- i am not sure if it is stockholm syndrome, or if it is the case that they were well treated, but yes, it does elevate -- it shows some on the part -- they had something they can trade for people that they wanted. it elevates the position for is supported enemies that included the ex-wife of the baghdaddy in this deal.

that they don't lead no one behind basically. >> thank you, appreciate your time. >> thank you for having me. >> . >> by sea is already four times as many as it was last year. that's in h the month of 2015 still to come. it goes on that almost 900,000 people across the mediterranean in the last 11 months and that number just been those who arrived safely. however, they do say the number fell in november, compared to october, partly because of bad weather, and more work nor turkish coast guards. voters in the central african nation have elected a new president the first civilian leader there almost half a century. took more than half the votes on sunday. reports from the capitol.

airbus first for all pilot to be trained with the object and the second recommendation, to profile -- basically, to improvise something out. >> but he didn't. >> yes. >> that's what happened. >> a very serious message from investigators of the national transport commission, pilots have more training to fly their planes manual, in a so called upset condition. tradition nally, after an air crash, the commissioner never points fingers as who is to blame, but the message to this pilot is clear. >> it took more than two months to recover only 106 of the 162 bodies from the remains of the jet at the bottom of the sea. >> so the loss of 24-year-old son, who works as an air asia

flight attendant. his body was recovered five days after the crash. to her, the outcome of the investigation doesn't make any difference. >> i request not blame anyone, no human being will deliberately make this kind of mistake. i am sure nobody wants to fail in his work, he must have done his best. >> following the accident, airbus has included upset recovery training for pilots in their manuals. also the technical failure that caused the alarms to sound during the flight. has been solved in all airbus planes. and investigators are insisting that air asia should improve the way it's aircraft are maintained. al jazeera. >> china's president is in zimbabwe on the start of a five day visit and he is expected to promise more investment in the african country. which has long standing economic problems. china and the biggest foreign investor.

carter told congress for the force of specialized troops will be deployed to iraq to fight isil. lebanon prime minister welcomed home 16 soldiers released in a prisoner swap with rebels in syria. and voters in and central african country have elected as their new president. more on our top story, the u.s. soldierment in the fight against isil in iraq, also in h syria's as well. matthew with me now, former special advisor the the iraqi and military man himself. matthew, is this part of a bigger picture? the u.s. says we are going to do this, we know it has been doing something for some time, but it is expanding, the britts voting tomorrow on whether to bomb isil and

syria, the french, the germans, etc., are we looking at a bigger picture? >> yes, we are. the public position has moved partly as a part of the attacks to support much more aggressively a forward policy. what we are seeing is the escalation from the air strikes alone to an increase in special forces which the announcement today demonstrates. and it is very likely they are doing very similar things beforehand. the wider context is because of russian involvement, because of the relationship between russia and turkey, everybody is focusing on this in a much more assertive way than they were. and we are beginning to see the outlines of policy, and less emphasis on trying to get rid of the asaad. ten this is part of a general increase of attention among the policy and military community. >> with a view to watching the coming months in. >> i think you will see an expansion of thives i that

took place last month. across over into syria, and back east. i don't think you will see the fall any time soon, but you will see an escalation of forces. gradually pushing the state back to isolate those two key cities. >> with the idea that this has to be a significant number of ground forces on the ground. >> yes. >> to retake and to hold on to this? >> yes, the key point of the announcement today is that special forces that one of the key missions is to train and mobilize local forces. so we saw that the curds were operating upward of 10,000, that has only been possible with the coordination of u.s. and potentially u.k. special forces. >> we are not looking at this until springtime. >> yes. >> you mentioned russia at the beginning of this, that

further complicates matters. you have seen no indication that they are going to do so, you could end up with a far more difficult situation, which. >> you could, but i think it is unlikely, that the russians would intervene as far as the areas that we are talking about. russia's key role is to protect the minority, and the government, so they are fighting and interacting much more with free syrian army, some of the other forces that are in the west whether directly abutting up, and the islamic state is not activity fighting the regime, other than a hand full of areas. it is concentrating east of the country, which is quite far away from the main area of operations. >> and further complicated by this statement that has come from unnamed show what groups fighters in iraq, that say they would oppose and take on any u.s. or other foreign ground forces that came into the country. >> this is part of the

history, but it also brings in a player we haven't mentioned which is iran. which heavily controlled the militias. iran has spent ten years since 2003, bolstering the position, in iraq, and it doesn't want to see significant numbers of u.s. troops back in iraq, because as they would see it it is undermining gains they have made they are very happy. >> the regime last year, where the islamic state is on the offensive, what they don't want to see is long term engangment in iraq, because to be frank, they want to continue their control and hide the influence over the iraqi government. >> matthew, thank you very much, you may be interested in this next story, we have coming up, it is all those years of conflict, have badly damaged iraq education

system, from unicef, the situation is only going to get worse, there are fears the entire generation of displaced iraqi children simply won't go to school at all. let's hear from the north iraqi city he is from syria, which led to the violence a year ago, and lives in the camp on the outskirts of iraq. he should be in school, instead he polishes metal. he is one of 2 million children, syrian and iraqi, in this country who haven't completed a school year because of the war against isil. put simply, there aren't any schools to go to. >> i love going to school. i want to go back to school and see my friends. working is hard. >> unicef says it needs $75 million to provide basic school for the next year, money it says it doesn't have. private charities and

individuals are trained to fight back. this is the school. it starts by teachers and attended entirely by students who fled the violence from elsewhere. here they have 1800 students and the education is provided for free. he came here after isil took over the neighborhood two years ago. she teaches english and is still in couch with her family, and says the situation is dire. >> i do know -- still they don't have money to go out of falujjah. so you can't imagine -- without a school. >> charities working in this field say the lack of education h have long term consequences. >> lack of schools, lack of

education in schools effected is key. and they are looking and starting in other ways. using. >> those children not in school, either work in places like this, or they stay in the streets now the aid agencies they need millions of dollars just to provide basic services but there is another issue, the militias and isil have taken over schools and are using them as military bases. so even if the money was there to provide schooling they simply couldn't get in to the buildings. al jazeera after a 2014 international court of justice ruling that had forced them to stop hunting. four vessels have left japan for the start of the whaling season.

it goes on until the end of march, the fleet wants to take more than 300 whales. environmental activists have condemned the movement, but japan insists it is done for scientific reasons not for commercial purposes. let's talk to olivier, researcher in international law, following this case closely. the international court of justice. joining us now on skype from amsterdam, olivier, help us understand why when last year, in march of last year, it was deemed illegal under international law for japan to do this, why can it do it now. >> well, actually, the judgement of the international court of justice, dealt with the specific research program that japan has undertaken. the convention, the whaling convention international whaling convention, has

escaped that country's can do scientific research. and japan has introduced a scientific research program. however, australia, and later new zealand, protests against this program, pause they said it is not a scientific research program, it's commercial whaling disguised as research. and the international court of justice, without however, sort of saying that determining what is science, they looked into the stethoscope of the program, because they had before that, that's the name of the research program, and they said this -- the program purports to to is not what japan actually does. what japan does is commercial whaling, and therefore, this program does not fulfill the

criteria, therefore, japan must stop with this particular program. >> i understand that, it said it wasn't scientific, it said it was getting them basically to eat, why is it different this time in 2015 when last year it wasn't scientific this year it would appear to be so. >> well, what was really clear from the judgement of the international court of justice last year, was shoot japan redesign it's -- a ramp introduce another program, with the international whaling commission, fulfilling the criteria for scientific research which the previous program cheerily did not. does not go deep into what has been done.

as i understand it, all it has done is reduced the number of whales that it killed by about a third and it is still apparently according to experts not kill any one of them for the research that japan says it neats to do. >> well in the previous program, they had said that they want to compare whales which is what they are now hunting for, or will be hunting for, and also with fin whales and hump back whales to see for example, where the moratorium would have any impact on the food supply and what the diet would be. and the court of justice said they didn't kill any of the whales and hardly any -- so they didn't comply with that research program, and the second was that the international court of justice said that japan would not explain why it was

necessary to kill so many hump back whales sorry, minky whales. also, there was a confusion about the number of whales that japan was going to catch, eses specially compared to the previous program. >> i must ask you this, if australia or new zealand has been suggested to challenge, the fact that it is now allowed in japan to do this, it is going to take years. it is the sovereignty of states must all have equal time to prepare or leal pleadings and they take as long time. but -- >> i'm terribly sorry to have

to stop you, we will get you back to talk about this in more detail on another occasion, i do hope it is a very complicated matter. olivia, thank you. thank you for joining us. >> bye bye. >> . >> 8 1/2 billion dollars in the next five years to invest in renewable incomer and increased access to electricity. >> it is suffering as a result of those gases, african leaders were the biggest polluting nations to commit more money to what is the green climate fund. and talking about pollution here, people have been told to stay indoors for the second time in four years.
