inside after a gun battle with police the suspects that are dead at the scene, one is a male, one is a female. they were dressed in kind of assault-style clothing, i think is probably the best way to term it. they are both armed with assault rifles. they're both armed with handguns. >> reporter: a third person was detained running from the scene but police are not sure he was involved. several hours earlier shooters burst in a holiday meeting being held of a center that serves people with learning disabilities. they opened fire killing 14 people. 17 were wounded, some critically. david johnson was walking nearby when the shooting started it was going on for, like, a couple of minutes, man. it was like, bang, bang, bang for a while. it want continuous shooting. -- wasn't continuous shooting. it wasn't just one sound. it was like, bang, bang, then a

different pitch, so that sounded like a different weapon being used >> reporter: none of the disabled clients or the staff at the center were shot. this woman was one evacuated when the happened we were told to come out with our hands up. that was scarey, but we were all together. we cooperated because we wanted to get to safety and we wanted to get out. we didn't know if there was anybody inside. >> reporter: acting on a tip, police and f.b.i. agents went to a residence in a nearby found. the people inside fled in a black suv and began exchanging fire with police. police blocked them in and the deadly shoot out followed. one police officer was wounded, but his injuries are not life threatening. police later named the suspects, but said they were not sure their relationship with each other. police emphasised that the

pair's motives are not known. i spoke to abad like a week ago with him, yeah. are you saying you know this person?

strikes on i.s.i.l. targets in syria hours after parliament backed the government's plan to expand its mission. the vote in favor followed bitter divisions among u.k. politicians and also a protest in the capital. bring theed an's defense minister says bombs started hitting oil fields in eastern syria. more from london. >> reporter: it was a decisive victory for david cameron. more than half of mps voting in favor of air strikes on syria. a noisy chamber was the stage for the ten-hour debate. at times it had been fiery, fuelled by questions about how this strategy would work. this is a debate which has divide political opinion both inside and outside the house. no-one doubts here that something needs to be done to tackle i.s.i.l. how to do it, though, has caused political eau wrappingss. -- eruptions.

the bafbs of ground troops, the missing of diplomatic plan for peace. or the refugees crisis and civilian casualties, it is increasingly clear that the prime minister's proposal for military action do not stack up >> reporter: many in parliament wanted to know more about the claim that there are some 70,000 moderate opposition forces willing to fight i.s.i.l. on the ground. i'm not arguing that the 70,000 are ideal partners. some of them do have views that we don't agree with, but the definition of the 70,000 is those people that we have been prepared to work with and continue to be prepared to work with >> reporter: even before i.s.i.l.'s attack on paris, mr cameron was steering his government to make this choice. a vote on attacking president assad's forces in syria failed to pass in 2013ment since then britain has carried out more

than 380 air strikes on iraq. but britain, like many other nations, is war-weary. the conflicts in iraq and afghanistan still loom large. several hundred people have gathered outside parliament to protest against air strikes. the past experience has shown in iraq, in afghanistan, in libya, that bombing these people does no good at all. there must be a cease fire in syria. there's no doubt about it. the international community has got to get together and stop all this bickering. this will just make it worse. >> reporter: britain will take a bigger role in the coalition of nations trying to strike i.s.i.l. in both iraq and syria. here at least there is an acknowledgment that it could take months or even years to achieve military success. emma awoulded, al jazeera ema

haywood. >> reporter: barbara joins us now. what do we know about the hits that we're hearing about? >> reporter: absolutely. the prime minister didn't waste any time on wednesday night after that vote passed as we heard in emma said. 174 votes. so the prime minister feeling he had the mandate to order these attacks in syria. we understand that two raaf jets left the british base shortly after that vote to go and bomb in eastern syria. it was then followed by another two raf jets. we understand that each of those jets had about three bombs, 500 pounds each, and they targeted the oil fields to the east of syria. this is very much tying in with the stated aim of the british prime minister and other members of the u.s. led coalition, so

targeting these oil fields and trying to stop i.s.i.l. that way. interestingly, and there's a lot that the ministry of defense isn't revealing for operational reasons, but interestingly we don't understand that the brim stone missiles were used. these are the missiles that are meant to be the most accurate in the world. that would be the added value that u.k. participation in strikes on syria would be. so as far as we know, those ms i aisles weren't used-- missiles weren't used on wednesday night. that is just the first of what one will think the u.k. has been involved in bombing i.s.i.l. in iraq. now this is annex pangs of that strategy have you been able to guage what the public reaction was to this? how is this playing with the voters with the public? >> reporter: there were protests here last night, just a

few hundred people, so nothing really when you compare it to the million people that showed up on the streets of london back in 2003 to protest against the war in iraq. even though the vote passed comfortably the debate goes on. this is we must defeat fishists. that's the foreign secretary who voted against this party leader for the strikes. this was the sort of language that was used, fascist. we heard that the prime minister called i.s.i.l. medevil. then here the daily mail here in the u.k., after the bombs what comes next? that really is the question that everyone is asking here in the u.k. there's no real moral debate. everyone agrees that i.s.i.l. should be destroyed. there's almost no legal debate either because this is all part of a u.s.-led coalition. france was anal lie, but i guess the real question being asked here, how effective are these

air strikes going to be and what is the plan f you heard a lot of discussion earlier about the 70,000 troops on the ground in i.s.i.l. which the u.k. prime minister said to work with the coalition on the ground as the air strikes continue, but, of course, a lot of questions about that, a lot of request esabout what exactly the air strikes could achieve. also a particular phrase that mr cameron used and that is that these attacks are going to make the streets of the u.k. safer, going to make london safer after those attacks two weeks ago in paris. a lot of question marks here as well as too whether that statement is actually true very similar debates happen in the u.s. as well. the question often being what in fact is the strategy. thank you so much. an unlicensed cambodian doctor has been given 25 years in prison after infecting more than 200 people with hiv. he used dirty nitles on

patients-- needles. several of the people infected have since died. he was facing a murder charge but it was reduced to manslaughter by the court. wayne hay has an update. >> reporter: the doctor at the center of this scandal was working in the west of the country. he was actually facing murder charges because several people died after becoming infected with hiv because he was using dirty needles at his clinic. he had those charges down graded to manslaughter and he has been sentenced to 25 years in prison. he still maintains his innocence and there still could be an appeal. it is a big problem in cambodia, this issue of unlicensed doctors, particularly for those in rural and remote parts of the country. they have no choice to go and see these unlicensed doctors

because there is a massive shortfall in cambodia of licenced, qualified medical practitioners brazil's president is facing impeachment proceedings over allegations that she illegally manipulated government accounts last year. this masks the extent of the countries's budget. the speaker of the lower house launched the process at the request of the opposition parties. she denies any wrongdoing. >> reporter: in a very brief address to the nation and looking serene she flatly denied any wrongdoing and said that the charges against her were unfounded, she also called for brazilians to remain calm. she added she had never stolen money or accepted bribes which was a jab at the president of the lower house who just hours earlier had accepted the opposition's call for an impeachment proceeding to begin.

if goes to a special committee of all the political parties in the lower house which must decide whether the impeachment call has any merit. if so, it then must go to a full vote of the lower house and that's not a given. it has to be passed by two-thirds. if this happens, the president would have to step down while a full inquiry takes place in the snit. all this could take months and will certainly increase instability in south america's largest economy which this week fell even further into recession according to the latest data still ahead on the program, a glacie are is a symbol of what climate change is doing to the planet. -- glacier. the only way to get better is to challenge yourself,

last year. swiss authorities have arrested more senior football officials in zurich as investigations continue in corruption in the world governing body f.i.f.a. the committee was due to discuss to discuss reforms. the president is already serving a 90 day suspension. he was not a target in the latest round of arrests. the latest on these developments in london. >> reporter: the american and swiss attorney-generals working so closely together on this case have promised there would be a new wave of arrests at some stage. their work was far from done. it's still not done despite the arrests that happened at 6am at the bar in zurich. today these arrests were surprising. there are as many as 12 at least, so it's nearly on the scale in terms of the people involved, of the sweep that happened in may which, of

course, started so many of f.i.f.a.s problems which leads to a situation where the president is suspended and, indeed, platini, the other big figure of f.i.f.a. is suspended too. two of the main quite senior figures who have been arrested in this swoop of howar and mapu. they are heads of their con federations. this is really targeting the american, central america, south america, the caribbean, ace lot of the alleged racketeering. these are both on the f.i.f.a. committee. they are currently trying to reform. it's going to be a depleted executive committee the step up the search for

the misterying malaysian plane. the plane disappeared with 239 passengers and crew a year past march. last march that is. in july a wing flap was found washed up in the indian ocean. with improving weather conditions, new analysis confirms search teams are looking in the right place. the new research that has been released today further emphasises that we are searching in the right direction, uses different methodology and has come to the same conclusions, and that gives us real encouragement that every effort has been made to make sure that the search is well focused and well targeted and hopefully, therefore, will achieve some day a satisfactory result parts of southern india have been deluged with heaviest

rainfall in more than half a century. a rescue operation is underway fooling mass flooding. downpours shows home inundated. more than 2000 people have been rescued by the army. scientists and diplomats hold talks in paris on the climate. the world's glaciers are disappearing at an every increasing rate. >> reporter: the winter season is just about to get into swing. chalets are ready for the christmas rush. all around things are changing because of global warming. to see the evidence, you only have to take the tourist train up the mountain on the old cog railway that has been operating since 1908. one of the longest glaciers in the alps.

this man took the time lapse film. thousands of years of compacted ice flowing down the mountain. it is losing volume every year. >> translation: the glacier makes the invisible visible. we're talking about temperature, energy, greenhouse gasses. what we're seeing here is the as a result of all these things. it is unfavorable for them. they're diminishing and the landscape is changing. we have to protect it for ourselves >> reporter: here is a photograph taken in 1910 showing the train station with the glacier just below. just on exactly the hundred years and so the difference >> reporter: it is apparent the sheer volume of ice that has just disappeared. this level was the top of the glacier back in 1820 and right now it is 700 metres down there. we can see the glacier. >> reporter: i meet a man who

has been a mountain guide here for 35 years. he points out the front of a glacier now sitting on top of the ridge when 15 years ago it reached all the way down to the trees. he says global warming is a problem and a danger. as the snow ais more unstable, we have risk with avalanche. >> reporter: the changing conditions threaten not only life and limb, but also the economic prosperity of the region that relies on tourism. it is one that is slowly disappearing before our eyes. as the seasons come and go, we have to wonder how this mountainous world may look in a hundred years time. nick clerk port gushgs al's prime

minister says he intends to release the middle-class from suffocating taxes to boost the economy. he is to increase the families's benefits. cost apposed the high taxes, pay cuts and pension freeze says that have remained in place since then. >> translation: this government intends to end with austerity. it has created inflation to the point where the bank had to stimulate inflation with easing measures. i think it is positive to policies that intend to break with it mark zuckerburg is celebrating his fatherhood by announcing he will donate 99% of his share in his company to

charitable company. it is around about 45 billion dollars. >> reporter: having this child has made us think about all of the things that should be improved in the world for the whole generation. >> reporter: he and his wife have promised to give away a fortune in the honor of the birth of their daughter. people have donated large portions of their wealth to charity. giving billions of dollars in donations doesn't always yield big results. bill gates has been very transparent about what his goals are. not all of the foundations have done that. i think we have to be just as cognizant about celebrating the moment of the pledge as about where the money goes and whether it's going to have a real social impact. >> reporter: he donated 100 million dollars in 2010 to turn around a failing public school

in yorke. they say they have learned from past debates. >> reporter: the united states has a long tradition of private investors funding social causes, encouraged by a system of tax breaks for charitable donations. this country spends much less on these areas. >> reporter: billion airs decide social policy. what we see sometimes in certain fields is that billion air people can also control the public prioritys, the public spending, the agendas of the nonprofits in those fields by what the fhilantropy will

support. so of will not challenge, there is a growing call for transparency and public input into their work everyone and everything on earth feels it, every moment of their lives. the very little is known about how the force of gravity works, especially in space. that's why the european space agency has launched a new space craft into orbit. it will have a special experiment on board. >> reporter: launching from europe's space port an experiment that could help change our understanding of the universe. it will orbit the iritides for two weeks and make its way from the son. it is here the son the gravitational pull is cancelled out by that of the earth making it ideal for testing the new

gravity sensing technology. the purpose of this space craft, it will start testing in a different way trying to detect something that the einstein's theory of general relativity preducts, which is gravitational waves >> reporter: the space craft has on board two identical cubes of solid goal platinum alloy. they fly the same speed, the laser is to measure movements as small of a billionth of a millimetre. we see the large mass, whatever, for a black hole. it doesn't want to start changing shape. when two super massive black holidays smash into each other, it creates thighs rebels.

they're not very big which allows us to pick up changess in space itself. >> reporter: although the mission won't be able to confirm the existence of gravitational waves, it will help scientists test t ascientists test their approach gravity is one of the components of the universe which is a mysterious. we know very little about it. the results of all these experiments will have enormous applications that we cannot even imagine. >> reporter: if this test mission is successfulings a large scale experiment involving three satellites placed a million kilometres from each other is plan episode for launch in 2034. it's hope it will reveal details about the formation and structure of galaxies, the universe, black holes and the
