armed and ready, there were 12 pipe bombs, 2000 rounds, plus lots more weapons of war stashed in the home of the couple who killed 15 people in california. wins of change-- winds of change. voters may be poised to have a crushing defeat to the socialist

party of the late president after 17 years in power. enslavery in the modern world. a new report says there are more slaves worldwide right now than at any other time in history good evening. this is al jazeera america. we begin tonight in southern california where the city of san bernardino is still reeling after the mass shooting that claimed 14 lives. suspect are syed farook and tashfeen malik. police are yet to establish a motive. syed farook was communicating with known militants overseas.

the names of the 14 victims were released this morning from 26 to 60 years old. >> reporter: grim details emerging today telling the story of a troubled young couple clearly intent on carrying out a massive well-planned attack. investigators are focusing on the crime scene at the inland regional center and on the home in redlands rented by the couple. they were shot dead after a gun battle with police. they were heavily armed and reported to be wearing tactical gear and having over 1600 rounds of ammunition. >> the two handguns were purchased by him, the rifles are not. we are still following up.

they were all legally purchased >> reporter: 27-year-old syed farook is an american citizen. late wednesday the associated press reported that a u.s. intelligence official says the suspect was in touch on social media with what were described as extremist under f.b.i. scrutiny. tashfeen malik has been in america for a few months. they say neither had a previous criminal record. police confirmed that in the home they rented more than 3000 rounds of ammunition were found. nearly a dozen pipe bombs as well as hundreds of tools they say could have been used to construct additional explosives. police say they believed the pair was ready to carry out another attack. >> i think that based upon what we have seen and based upon how they were equipped, there had to have been some degree of planning. >> reporter: also inside, digital need i can't say has

been flown to washington for analysis. >> we are trying to determine the motive. we do not know the motive. we cannot rule anything out at this point. we're hoping that some of that digital media exploitation will help us and assist us in obtaining some of that. >> reporter: the f.b.i. has stopped short of saying it was an act of terrorism there was obviously a mission here. >> reporter: wednesday's deadly attack ended in 14 attacks. the names were mentioned tonight. a vigil was planned for them in san bernardino. tonight a commander for the police department described the chaos that unfolded inside although we trained for it, it's something that you're not actually prepared for >> reporter: the number of injured now substantives at 21, many of whom are still being treated at local hospitals. police have released photos

tonight from the scene of the shoot out that ultimately killed the two suspects. we have photos that show the long gun, the weapons that were recovered at the scene, also bags of ammunition and it also shows the black suv we are told that this was a rented black suv that the couple were trying to flee in when police sir surrounded it and then took them down in a barrage of gun fire thanks. a senior fellow at the foundation for defense of democracys who often serves as a counter terrorism consultant for government agencies. very good to have you with us. given all that we have heard, the extremists who had been monitored by the f.b.i., was this a failure of intelligence?

failure of intelligence. there are plenty of people who communicate with extremists on line and most of them don't pose a threat. we don't know the content. no regular flags were raised to his family members and co-workers. he came across as religious but normal. in their interviews thus far, he was conservative in his faith practices. there is not necessarily an intelligence failure. i would look to the purchase of guns and the enormous amounts. some were purchased by hi and some were not. if he was purchasing a large amount, maybe there should have been a red flag raised shouldn't alarm bells ring if someone is accumulating all this weaponry, especially all that ammunition?

if he had purchased some of it and maybe other people had purchased some of it, or he stock piled it over a long period of time, then it wouldn't necessarily raise alarm bells. in order to dig into someone's life has to be some sort of probable cause. we have a criminal justice system which is designed to protect citizens from the government, meaning the government should not be able to reach into all aspect of our lives for arbitrary reasons. in this case he may not have tripped those triggers. again, we don't know all facts. it could be an intelligence failure, but so far that doesn't necessarily appear to be apparent on the other hand, if they were not receiving direction from abroad and were self-radicalisesd, is there much that can be done?

the radar of the authorities. they have a much larger pool of radicalised people who might carry out attacks than we do in the united states. lone wolfs are hard stow stop, a determined couple like this are hard to stop. we don't know everything yet, but so far less no regular flag there has been no claim of responsibility by any group. some people including the president have talked about how there could have been mixed motives, it could have been work related. what do you think given the evidence that's out there now?

it is very clear that something big was planned the f.b.i. has been careful not to call this terrorism, but also not to rule it out. do you read anything into the fact that at this last news conference only about an hour ago the f.b.i. did not address terrorism at all?

suspects in this case, the killers in this case, destroyed cell phones, they tampered with their hard drives, they made it difficult for people to follow their electronic trail. i think it's going to take longer than in normal cases to look at the web sites where they were visiting, who they were communicating with. they made it very difficult because they probably didn't want their plot to be uncovered before they could launch it good to you have your insights tonight. thank you. the executive director of the council on american islamic relations in the greater las angeles area. he joins us. we appreciate that you've taken the time for us on what i know has been a very difficult couple of days. as you've heard, syed farook was apparently in touch with people described as extremists who were under f.b.i. scrutiny. you've been in touch with his extended family. did they have no indication that he might have been radicalised?

surveillance exactly. when we know there are terrorists who are trying to connect with people in the u.s., certainly these people should be monitored. what i am against establishing in our country is mass surveillance that targets people solely on the basis of their religious background or ethnic or national origin. that is not acceptable. to track terrorists and who they try to connect with is certainlily needed to keep us all safe as americans in this country i'm sure you've been frustrated for calls to condemn any acts of violence by its members that you don't do it often tonight, but you put together a remarkable news conference, barely a couple of hours after syed farook had been identified as a suspect. why was it so important to move that quickly?

we shouldn't. no-one should be held responsible or feel that there is a need to condemn an act by someone just looks like them or same skin color or ethnic and religious background. we should all be intelligent, rational to know that everybody is responsible for his or her own crimes, whether the person is in whatever areas. we don't live in a perfect world, but one that is influenced, scared by islam aphobes. we felt there was a need to reach out to our fellow americans and let them know that all of us are mourning because of the incident, all are praying for the victims islam is the world's second largest religion, do you think the muslim world is doing enough

from these violent people who have highjacked your religion?

reaction that we anticipate, we fear as a community. of course, this doesn't compare to the pain and the suffering of those who lost loved ones. so we're all in it together. that's what i say. we victimised-- get victimised thanks for joining us tonight. >> thank you democrats introduced gun control measures in the senate, from buying guns. they were rejected as were two counter proposals. a report from washington. >> reporter: after meeting with top law enforcement and facial security officials, there may be mixed motives behind the attack. >> it is possible this is terrorist related, but we don't

know. it's also possible that this was workplace related. >> reporter: with the f.b.i. now leading the investigation, attorney-general says she is not ruling anything in or out. >> we're pursuing the investigation wherever it leads. it is certainly because of the planning that was clearly involved in this, it is something that we have to take very seriously, but we have not ruled out the workplace issue and frankly something else could develop.{enter} q. on capitol hill, democrats are outraged we can no longer remain silent. what gives us the right to hold moments of silence when we do nothing to act upon the cause of the grief. >> reporter: the day after yet another gun-related mass murder. the republicans were silent on gun laws. >> a lot of these people are getting guns who are mentally unstable who should not be

getting guns. this is a gap in our laws that we feel needs to be filled >> reporter: after some recent shootings, mr obama reacted with anger over the one issue he says is the most frustrating, his inability to push through new gun restrictions how can you with a straight face make the argument that more guns will make us safer? >> reporter: with the possibility that terror played a role, the president's response this time was more measured. still e, he be again called for new gun lawyers it's going to be important for all of us, including our legislators to see what we can do to make sure that when individuals decide that they want to do somebody harm, we will make it harder for them to do it because right now it's just too easy the key to with defeating i.s.i.l. john kerry says, could be within months.

british war planes struck i.s.i.l. held oil fields at eastern syria today only hours after the british parliament approved joining the u.s. led coalition. the two planes that carried out the strike returned safely. an additional eight fighters and

a car go support plane has been sent to the base on cyprus. >> reporter: it took 57 minutes from the vote taking place here, the houses of parliament, for the raftornados to take off from the base in cyprus and start their strikes on i.s.i.l. targets in syria. we have been getting more details on those strikes. they hit the omar ohm fields in eastern syria. a key strategic target really according to the ministry of defense. they think about 10% of the revenue that i.s.i.l. makes from oil comes from these oil fields. so less than 24 hours after the vote passed here in parliament, air strikes against i.s.i.l. very much underway. the debate may be over among politicians but it's still very much continuing in the u.k. among members of the public and certainly in the newspapers. the main question is what is the

plan b, what is the actual plan for these air strikes. the foreign minister has been questioned about it to ask for a sort of timeframe. he mentioned, of course, the importance of the 70,000 troops that david cameron spoke about, what he termed moderate troops that the coalition could work with on the ground as they bomb from above. then when it comes to any kind of time road accident frame, the foreign minister spoke about the agreement-- timeframe, the foreign officer spoke about the agreement. in vi enthere should be elections in syria under u.n. supervision in about 18 months, but when the foreign secretary was questioned, women, what happens if these ground troops don't merrill materialize and this timeframe doesn't really materialize, it didn't sound like the foreign minister had a plan b in mind reporting from london. only hours after the british bombing campaign began,

secretary of state john kerry said i.s.i.l. could be defeated in months in a cease fire is reached between bashar al-assad's regime and the syrian opposition. he insisted i.s.i.l. would not be defeated through air strikes alone. >> i think we know it, that without the ability to find some ground forces that are prepared to take on d.a.e.s.h., this will not-- won completely from the air he added those ground troops should be local syrian and arab forces, not western soldiers. diplomats are hoping to begin peace talks on syria in the next few weeks. they will meet in saudi arabia next week. russia and turkey are ratcheting up the rhetoric. turkey has accused russia of soviet style propaganda. reporting from moscow on the

worsening relations. >> reporter: this was a chance to diffuse tensions, a face-to-face meeting. it was unrealistic to solve problems with russia in june one meeting. >> translation: these meetings are important, both sides do not want to escalate the tensions. both sides want to repair relations. we have different positions and opinions. turkey wants to narrow down these positions. once the sentimentally is left behind, we can have good relations again >> reporter: in moscow putin delivered his state of nation address. it is something ache has done-- he has three times now. after a moment for silence of

those killed abroad, he reiterated a call for global action. >> translation: we need to set aside all arguments and dimpbs to create one powerful fist, one united anti terrorist front which will act on the basis of international order and under the auspices of the united nations. >> reporter: turkey have a fear that more retaliation will happen. this would have been a way for russian gas destined for european markets to avoid another neighbour but russia has explosive relations with, ukraine. talk of russia's international isolation is often overblown, but it has lost key allies in the last two years. responding to russian allegations that turkey has been

buying oil from i.s.i.l., president erdogan hit back with accusations of his own. >> translation: who is buying that oil? let me tell you, a syrian who has a russian passport. he is the biggest trader. he buys oil from d.a.e.s.h. and selling to the syrian regime and international oil traders. the u.s. department of the treasurer remade this public. a famous russian chess player in the oil trade. we have the documents and we're going to make them public to the world. >> reporter: russia is demanding an apology from turkey for the loss of its plane. turkey is urging russia to keep a cool head. for now the war of words goes on the pentagon made history today announcing women will soon be able to serve in all military units, including elite special forces and front line combat operations. ash carter made the decision

ignoring the advice of a military adviser. he said the new rule will be put into effect i'm announcing my decision not to make continued exceptions. that is, to proceed with opening all these remaining occupations and positions to women. there will be no exceptions secretary carter's decision will be enacted following a mandatory 30 day waiting period. first on the scene of the carnage, one of the officers who responded to the san bernardino massacre tells a harrowing story of what he found when he got there. the political show down in venezuelan that could affect the history of the country.

>> half a million fields will lie fallow. >> if we had another year of this severe drought, i'd say all bets are off. welcome back. coming up in this half hour of international news a look the modern day slavery and how there are more slaves today than ever. investigators are continuing to

gather evidence in san bernardino. topped they identified the suspects as a husband and wife team, syed farook tashfeen malik, both were killed in a shoot out with police after 14 people were shot dead at a holiday office party. tonight a vigil is underway to remember those who were killed in the attack. jennifer london joins us. we heard from one of the first responders, an officer mike maddern was first on the scene and he had powerful comments about what he saw >> reporter: indeed he did. we heard as you said for the first time from one of the first responders commander mike madd refreshings n. he was less than a mile away from the inland regional center when the call came from dispatch that shots were being fired. he arrived first he location. within two minutes other officers arrived and they went inside the building and he

described the scene as surreal. he talked about the carnage. seeing people lying dead on the ground and knowing that there was nothing he could do for them. he heard moans and screaming and the panic on those people who were so alive the initial people did not want come to us. they were fearful and they were in theack hallway area and that actually heightened my concern that - and my fear that potentially the suspects were in that hallway holding them hostage and waiting for us to enter into the hallway. we had to tell them several times, come to us, come to us and ultimately they did and once that first person took the motions forward, it opened the floodgates and everybody wanted to come and get away from that as quickly as possible. >> reporter: commander madd

refreshings n also talked about the chaotic nature of what was happening inside, not just trying to find the two suspects, the shooters is, but also to rescue those alive. he was describing how loud it was inside. the fire alarms were going off, the fire sprinklers were going off so water was pouring from the ceiling. he said despite the best training you get, you're never prepared for something like this. later in the next hour we will hear more from him it must have been horrible. thanks. the israeli military shot and killed a palestinian man after officials say he opened fire at a check point on the occupied west bank. the attack took place near the town of hismay. one israeli soldier and one civilian were wounded. at least 19 israel lees and more than 100 palestinians have been killed. at the border between greece and mass don't aproceed pest--

macedonia protest. one young man was electricuted when trying to get upon the top of a rail car. that is one of four balkan countries that will allow from afghanistan, iraq and syria. they don't consider them refugees if they come from any other country. in athens 15,000 people walked off on strike. workers took to the streets criticising government cut backs designed to help dig the country out of its massive debt. domestic flights were cancelled, public schools shut down and hospitals were only open for merges. parliament plans to vote on more measures on saturday.

venezuelans head to the poll on sunday to vote in parliamentary elections that could give new momentum to the opposition. >> reporter: on the sunday election, several thousand people gather in the streets to support one of the most powerful men in venezuela. he is the head of the national assembly which polls suggests could be won over by the opposition on december 6. in his home state as the campaign heads to an end, he insists they will sweep and that a victory will not lead to a transition away from the economic model that so many people blame for the country's problems. >> translation: we're going to

deepen the revolution. we don't have a pact with no foreign powers, only with the people >> reporter: for the first time in 17 years the government's party is faced with the possibility of having to share power with an opposition which whom dialogue has been impossible. the government's popularity, but with the economy in at that timers, the support will diminish. in the streets here many like this man who just received a brand new taxi for free stands as proof that support is strong and that the government's populous model is still widely accepted. >> translation: i was unemployed for a very long time, so this taxi comes as a blessing. it has ended my bad spell.

>> reporter: back at the protest, they're cheering for their votes the vice president of the counsel of the americas. always good to see you. today was the last day of campaigning. the opposition is leading from 1 # 5% to 30. is this not a matter of whether mad rushings as socialist party loses but how much it loses by?

election next year. polls can be soft in venezuelan and in other countries as well. so until the votes actually are taken it is hard to predict an outcome with firmness maduro has said he will not surrender the revolution. if right wingers win they should prepare for overwhelming chaos and violence. does that sound like someone who is going to let democracy take its course?

the state energy company have been instructed to vote for government candidates, and on and on and on to say nothing of the fact that several of the leading of the opposition are in jail. so to suggest the ground is level would be a stretch a headline says venezuela has bigger oil reserves than saudi arabia yet there is no toilet paper. the country faces what is believed to be the world's worst reinvestigation, inflation. governments have criticised the government for not letting this be a fair election. what happens if the government win snuz some that's right, but the economic model has prone itself a complete failure when energy prices are high to distribute, people will support you, but the money is running out. energy is very low to about $40 a barrel from $120. if the government ones, in other words, if their candidates wins,

they're still going to be faced with an economic cryise says-- crisis, with a deteriorating security system and they don't have the answers to be able to change the direction of the country. i think that's what a lot of people are responding to already many analysts argue that venezuela is already a dictatorship with the party controlling all the branches of government and media. madura has ignored the courts on multiple occasions. he has ordered the imprisonment of political leaders also business leaders. if the opposition is allowed - wins big and is allowed to win big, do you think they can turn things around?

opposition, then you've got a split government. but the institutions of government, you've named some of them, the central bank, the supreme court, the press, others of the institutions of democracy have been dominated by the government to such an extent that they're not independent and the question is can the opposition, even if in control of the legislature, operate in that dined of environment in a fair way. i think a lot of people will question that. it will take a lot of time it's important for the united states. it's a country strategically positioned geographically. always good to be with us. thanks an american who sashed a 20 years sentence in peru has returned home in new york. he aided leftist fighters. he dropped out of mit to help fighters. he spent 15 years in prison and

the past five on parole before leaving for the states she expressed remorse for her actions. >> translation: i deeply regret the death and suffering that took place in peru. i cannot apologise for something i didn't do b but i can for my actions or words that offended. yes, i ask for giveness and i apologise it is estimated nearly 70,000 people died in peru during that conflict. the shocking truth about slavery worldwide, more people than ever before are reportedly being held as slaves, tens of thousands here in the u.s. new arrests in the world of soccer as the f.i.f.a. corruption scandal grows larger. in the next hour, candidates make their pitch to jewish voters. how yesterday's shooting and the nuclear deal with iran affected that conversation.

global news. the new zealand herald makes a blunt statement with this cartoon about yesterday's shooting in california that killed 14 people, describing it as just another normal day in america as the second amendment washes blood off its hands. the times of india is

criticising the strategy of the u.s. led coalition against i.s.i.l. it argues that it is a mistake to support them saying they are tied to the al-nusra front. according to the paper the best strategy and the worst thing for i.s.i.l. would be to work with russia to bring stability to syria. the prague post argues that the coalition should give up on the idea of toppling off side altogether. the only pragmatic way to bring peace to the region is to work with them. it goes on to say it is too fixated on that goal of toppling bashar al-assad ignoring the only solution that could work. the united nations marked the day of the abolition of slavery.

>> reporter: this woman says she was trapped as a domestic worker in united arab emirates working 21 hours a day, living on stale bred. >> translation: my employer would often tell us we can have you killed any time. >> reporter: stories like hers are reaped millions of times across the world. people living as slaves earning little or no money, unable to escape. some hide in the shadows, others labor in the blazing sun. according to an annual census of slavery, there were nearly 36 million slaves last yeah. they span the continue incidents. the countries with the biggest share are various. the most vulnerable are poor unned indicated migrant workers. the international labor

organization says children make up around one in four victims. some are forced to serve as soldiers. around one in five is forced into sex. most others i toil in industries, like fishing, construction. the trade is fuelled by the bottom line. forced labor generates around $150 billion each year. the people who exploit modern day slaves tend to shun pub lickity. but i.s.i.l. is an exception. yarzidi women and girls who fled the group in iraq told the watch that they were raped and forced into marriage by i.s.i.l. >> translation: they took all of the girls with them, killed the men and left the women. they beat us to make us submit to them. >> reporter: claims that islam parliamentarys sex with what are called non-muslims spoils of war, slaves can be bought, sold and given as gifts.

it is just one example of slavery in the 21st century the 2014 global slavery index reports there are 35.8 million modern day slaves in the world today. the region with the most is south asia with an estimate 17.5 million. east asia and the pacific have more than 6 million. 5.6 million in africa and more than two million in north africa and the middle east. the americas have more than a quarter million slaves, an estimated 60,000 of them are in bondage in the united states. brook hathaway at the freedom center and end slavery now and joins us. very good to have you with us. this report is stunning.

if the numbers are accurate, by my calculation, one out of every 200 people on earth are enslaved today. when this report talks about modern slavery, it isn't some sort of qualified form of slavery, we are talking about people who are deprived of their liberty. >> absolutely. we see it in all types around the world. so people in working in physical forms. bonded labor, they have a debt over their head. sex trafficking, child labor and domestic servet eurekas de the country with the highest%, 4%, is moretana. haidi has more than 2%. how is that happening in the 21 century?

the practice is still widely practiced in the nation. you add that to other countries that you've mentioned and you see it all over in all different types of industries. for example, usbekistan, it is prevalent in the cotton industry. we're consuming a lot of the products that are produced by slaves. it's because we as consumers are purchasing inexpensive goods that is produced by the slave labor is enough being done to deal with situations like that? obviously, not, but how big are the efforts to stop that?

being trafficked, to being enslaved. then you have individuals working on direct victim services, so people that are actually helping people escape from this type of agreement and then putting them in transitional care, empowerment. then a new part of the movement that is focusing on this consumer side. you have individuals in businesses that are looking at supply chains, what we can do from a business standpoint so that businesses and consumers no longer are demanding the goods that are bees produced you've got 14 million people enslaved in india and africa. a lot are child soldiers. what about the united states? 60,000 people are enslaved here. how plausible this is that number and who are they?

states would automatically include any prostituted child under the age of 18. if you have a prostituted boy or girl a minor, then they're almost a victim and would be koubtd in that. so far as over the age of 18, you have to prove force, or coercion. any time that is doing under the threat of force, threat or coercion, then that qualifies as sex trafficking. you also see labor trafficking which happen in every state. most people are most familiar with that, but they're almost frequent with the labor trafficking. you see that in agricultural industries, domestic serve it isattitude, when you had a wealthy couple that brought three migrant workers to work as nannys in their home. you see it in different places and happening here global crises are making

things worse. thank you for that pitsorias was convicted for murder. the prosecutor had appealed the original ruling arguing that he should have been convicted of murder. his mother called today's verdict a victory for not only her daughter but all women in south africa. he could face up to 15 years in prison. the corruption sandal regarding the world samfording. f.i.f.a. has 16 people charged with bshs ribery today, bringing the number of officials to 27. >> reporter: it was an all too familiar scenario for f.i.f.a., a dorm raid by swiss police at a

hotel in zurich. this time two members of executive committee, the head of the americas and carribean federation and the other, the south american con federation chief. the u.s. and swiss attorney-generals working closely together have promised a second wave of arrests and more extraditions to the united states. their focus on f.i.f.a. particularly alleged multi million dollar bribes in the americas remains relentless it is a betrayal of trust is outremainingous. the scale of corruption alleged here is unconscionable. the message from this announcement should be clear to every culpable individual who remains in the shadows homing to evade this ongoing investigation. you will not wade this out nor escape our focus.

>> reporter: it appeared to be all too much for the acting head of f.i.f.a. who appeared to fall asleep during a slide show on reform. he had been unwell. he refused to talk in detail about the arrests. >> translation: the u.s. department of justice has today proceeded to a series of arrests. the investigation is ongoing and f.i.f.a. is ready to participate fully in light of what is going on, we will not make any more comments. the events this morning underscored the need for a reform. >> reporter: they regarded this meeting as business as usual despite the arrests and two more empty seats in this executive committee. what is clear is that those investigating them don't trust their internal reforms. they want to dealer the mist that has been apparent. the long serving president is suspended for an alleged corrupt

payment to platini also suspended. they await potential bans of six years or more with verdicts expected soon. finally, f.i.f.a. has been hit where it hurts most its finances. a loss approaching 100 million dollars for the year is feared. one of the reasons at looking to increasing 32 to 40 teams for the 2026 turn meant torrential rains have factualed people in india. prime minister narrendra modi visited the state where he announced 1530 million dollar relief package are - 150 million. more than a thousand people were critically injured and rushed to

hospitals. the area is expected to receive more rainfall over the next 48 hours. that is it for this international news hour. i will be back with more news in two minutes.
