today members of the iraqi military danced and military commanders claimed that the last i.s.i.l. fighters have been driven out of the strategic center of ramadi, who have been under control of i.s.i.l. since may. secretary of defense ash carterr congratulated iraq. >> if 2015 was the year of liberation, 2016, god witle will bgod willingwill be the final ye iraqi defeat. >> they will next try take mosul to the north. jamie mcintire is in the pentagon with the story. >> after search months the iraqi flag flies again over the government center in ramadi.

celebrating what one general called an epic victory over a determined and dug in foe. we hav have defended our vicityd our land. ramadi is not technically liberated yet, given it's riddled with booby traps. but a spokesman says it's just a matter of time. >> on our way to victory. we believe while they still have work to do to finalize the clearance process of ramadi, we believe they will be able to achieve that in relative short period of time. >> the u.s. says months of american and coalition air strikes were the key to enabling iraqi fighters to recapture a city they couldn't hold back in may despite at the time going a 10 to 1 numerical advantage over the i.s.i.l. attackers. >> the devastating air power

that this coalition has been able to bring to bear recently has really helped crush this enemy. in the last six months really since july, there have been more than 2,000 kinetic strikes in and around ramadi. why estimate we have killed hundreds if not -- we estimate we have killed hundreds if not thousands of enemy fighters over the course of the last six months in the area. we have been able to destroy these vbids these truck bombs that the enemy likes to use as their precision weapon. so this combination of well trained, well equipped and well supported forces was what was able to carry the day. >> reporter: ramadi was important because of its proximity to baghdad less than 70 miles away. the next objective is fallujah, another sunni area between ramadi and baghdad. which iraqi forces are now encircling and then sometime next year the big prize, mosul,

i.s.i.l.'s de facto capital in iraq. jamie mcintire, al jazeera the pentagon. >> retired army major mike licenslyonssay. >> that's the amount they are going to have to leef there to secure the city. so for them to continue to fight i.s.i.s. from other parts of iraq, the united states have got to help out here. also in this battle you saw much more increase in air support that took place. helping the iraqi security force he on the ground. now what that did, it softened up those targets and really set the conditions for iraqi security forces to succeed >> in syria at least 19 people were killed in bomb attacks in

the central city of homs. a car bomb explode this morning and a suicide bomber detonatehis vest. dozens more were injured. hundreds of fighters and civilians pinned down in syria just got safe passage out, under a deal brokered by the united nations. long trapped in unfriendly territory the masses moving to syria, lebanon and turkey. paul tradergian has more. >> buses started to arrive into lebanon from syria. in them dozens of injured fighters who have been trapped by fighters of president bashar al-assad. seedgeunder siege by u.n. brokered deal reached in

september. this is a humanitarian victory but some people are talking about winners and losers. >> translator: maybe some will say that what has land is a victory. others which sail it's a defeat. but for us the activists of the syrian revolution we think it's a defeat because of the cowardice that happened. we wanted to win and be happy and the young people leave the city in a different way. but they dealt with there with cowardice. >> the people inside these vehicles are from zabadani, on the northwest border north west of damascus. these civilians and wounded fighters had been trapped in progovernment villages near idlib in northwestern syria, a few hundred have already arrived in turkey, thousands are due to follow. >> translator: my father is wounded and we managed to come with him. >> translator: thank god the

road was secured. we left at 12 and we arrived now. >> reporter: this complex movement of people was made possible because of a deal brokered by iran and turkey. it's seen as significant development in a country battered by more than four years of violence and a death toll of more than a quarter million people. the u.n. hopes this deal will create some level of trust between the government and the rebels ahead of crucial meetings in geneva next month. pall tradergian, al jazeera. >> a syrian journalist and documentary film maker has been killed in turkey. naji juref was killed on monday, one day before he was supposed to leave for france. he maid a documentary on the antii.s.i.l. citizen journalism project called, raqqa is being

central americans yead to let at them go. as they traveled north to america, there's been an increase in cuban migration ever since relations with the united states started improving. this evening, an al jazeera investigation into performance enhancing drugs remains in the spotlight. the investigation claims pharmacy who tells an undercover reporter that the clinic shipped human growth hormone to the wife of nfl quarterback peyton manning. one of the dates of contention remains the dates that charlie sly worked in the clinic in indianapolis. debra davies has this report. >> when undercover athlete liam collins first met sly, sly immediately demonstrated his knowledge of the drugs. more than 27 hours of recorded

conversations, sly gradually opened up about his contact with athletes. statements he now denies. his most controversial allegation is when he did part of his pharmacy training at an antiaging clinic in indianapolis, human growth hormone was sent to peyton manning's wife. >> it would never be under peyton's name, always under her name. >> the clinic claims he was only there in 2013 after the mansion moved to colorado not in 2011 as al jazeera originally recorded. now al jazeera is releasing a phone call to confirm the dates of sly's rotation. >> this is heather can i help you?

>> heather, i wonder if you can, i need an employment verification on a gentleman named charles sly, i believe he did a rotation with you, is that right, do you know him? >> yes. >> could you precisely give me the dates? >> i can, it will be just a minute. >> thank you. >> remain on the line, a representative will assist you moment airline. >> the start date we signed for him was 10-17 of 11. >> sorry 10-17 of 11. do you know how long he stayed with you? >> i think a couple of months like three months maybe. >> great, all right that's great. sounds like you know him then. >> yes i knew him when he was here. >> that was a month ago. now dr. dale guyer says charlie sly has fabricated his whole story. sly said everything he said when he didn't know he was being recorded was untrue. peyton manning has issued his

own angry denial saying he's never used performance enhancing drugs. however, the allegation in the program, the growth hormone was shipped from the guy are clinic to ashleigh manning has not been denied by either peyton manning or the clinic. that leaves several key questions to be answered. was growth hormone shipped to ashleigh manning, if so, over what period and in what quantities, and can they confirm that ashleigh manning does not suffer for any of the three serious conditions for which it is legal to prescribe human growth hormone? has the guyer institute broken the law? are debra davies, al jazeera, washington. professor, how different are the europeans when it comes to the frequency and intensity of drug testing athletes as opposed

to american sports leagues like the nfl and major league baseball? >> well, that's a difficult question, because there is more transparency among the international antidoping organization he. therorganization he in the nfl. there is a trickle of information coming out of the nfl but i would not trust it at this point. >> and some of that trickle of information has been evaluated by sciengts wh scientists, woulw if there was human growth hormone or steroid that was present or injected over the past 24 hours. is that true? >> i don't know about the 24 hours. but there is a window of vulnerability, it could be 24 hours, 72 hours. and you want to get off the hormone before a test you are aware is going to happen. >> and one of the things that i'm aware that happens for

example at the tour de france, in professional bicycle racing, in some organization he, these athletes are warned they could be tested any time of day, 365 days a year, they have to be ready perhaps two or three hours notice to undergo a test. that doesn't seem to be the case in major league baseball or national football league. >> that is the international protocol established by the world antidoping agency. that has been a parole col that has been subverted 50 international cycling federation for years in the case of cycling. major league baseball, again, has a program that is not as transparent as it ought to be. if the public is going to have confidence in the doping rates, the number of positives that are actually happening as opposed to those that are reported to be

happening. >> and is that simply because major league baseball and national football league, these are money-macmaking enterprises, than amateur athletes that may be competing on the international stage at the olympics? >> it is a common scenario. as you rightly point out there are commercial interests, there are hiv interests, there are power elite in sports administration interest, in the international scene in olympic sports as well as in the very profitable american professional sports. there are perverse incentives built into both the top and the bottom of both systems. at the top, doping news is bad news. it is bad for business. at the bottom, the incentives to dope in a number of sports so that people's careers can survive and they can hope to make a living in this sport,

these incentives are so powerful, that we are now half a century into a doping epidemic that appears only to be expanding. >> and you've mentioned a problem in the united states with transparency, with the tests, that is are you suggesting a transparency with the result and likewise what about the frequency of the test, which is more significant? >> they're both significant. but to the best of my knowledge, none of the professional lesion are sharing that data with the public -- leagues are sharing that data with the public or the press. >> john hoberman is a professor and his torn at the university of texas and thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> just ahead we'll take you to central africa where negotiators are trying to avoid a civil war in burundi. in context look at a nation on the edge. there have been more deadly attacks in nigeria, days away from the country's self imposed

deadline to eliminate boko haram. a look at what used to be the group's most fortified base.

>> in central africa peace talks resume today in an effort to avoid a civil war in burundi. opposing factions met this morning in nearby uganda. violence broke out this spring

when pierre nkurunziza are decided he would run again for president. malcolm webb reports. >> ugandan president welcomed the talks. president pierre nkurunziza announced his bid to extend his ten year rule in april. >> i really appeal to you the two sides to sit down and have a political solution. >> reporter: activists in opposition said nkurunziza' bid for reelection was against the constitution and against a 2006 peace deal that ended 13 years of civil war. so three took to the streets earlier there year. but the crack down was violent. since then, police have been accused of dozens of extra

jicialjudicial killings. peace talks first started in july but stalled. presidential palace in entebbe, due to be moved to jarusha. government delegates have said they are not willing to negotiate with people involved in a failed coup attempted in may. >> they need to tell that you they are nonviolent when they were not, last time they continue using weapons, killing, grenades, rockets, this kind of way of saying no to something. >> but the opposition politicians and activists at the talks deny they are connected to any armed rebels. they are denying that president nkurunziza abandoned his term. saying the election was a fraud.

>> what we ask is to stop nkurunziza to say to him, stop the killing, stop this mandate because it was not a mandate. >> so any compromise would be difficult. talks only started after the u.s. and eu imposed sacks sanctn either sides. and reaching a deal will likely cause even more pressure. malcolm webb, al jazeera, entebbe. >> joining us from stanton, virginia, kara how close is burundi to civil war? >> thanks for having me tonight david. as we speak the number of deaths in burundi is close to a thousand. we have heard recent news of another faction that announced

itself, we are on the cusp of another civil war and the situation seems to be desert rating before our eyes. >> how so? >> what you have seen is the extra judicial assassination on behalf of the government, the faction that demands political solution but also engages in violence. then you have armed factions which may or may not be connected to the failed coup of may earlier there year. and you still don't know what's happening in the rural areas. there is no independent media in burundi and as of today there are 230,000 burundians living outside the country. >> just in terms of talking to each other c is that your read as well? >> that's correct. almost immediately after ends of talks today the government issued a communique saying they would not negotiate with certain members of civil society. they have set forth certain

conditions, to open a dialogue, continuing talks into 2016 but it seems very, very likely that we will not get a political solution to there ongoing crisis. in the meantime you have worsening economic crisis within burundi, armed opposition and these problems continue to mount. >> and as the situation continues to get worse, let's assume the talks don't produce a solution. what is the status in terms of the african union and other countries from the continent being able to send in peace keeping to keep the sides apart? >> this is a sticky situation because the african union did announce plans to go through with a humanitarian intresks prior tintervention. if burundi does not allow the peace keepers in they have suggested they will not do in no uncertain terms over the past

several weeks, then the next step would be to get permission from the u.n. security council. that permission seems unlikely given that russia and china are heavily involved in sornlt sovey concerns which burundi has mentioned several times. >> the talks held in july, obviously hotly contested. are the oppositions incorrect when they say there was fraud? >> there was no monitoring of that election. as far as fraud we can assume that something untword went on but we're not quite sure. will the election results stand though? that's the more interesting question. the opposition has by and large called for the stepping down of nkurunziza as president in order to move forward. this seems likely and no political solution to this situation has not suggested that nkurunziza would not see out his

term until 2020. >> thousands of people get killed as a result? >> that seems fairly likely. in fact the lead negotiators president of uganda has never suggested there would not be an additional term for nkurunziza. so it remains to be seen exactly what would happen in that case. it does seem very likely that intense monitoring of the situation by both the au and the u.n. will continue. >> kara jones professor of mary baldwin clique, professor we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> suicide bombing at the kabul airport. coming up the state of security, and how much territory the taliban has gained over the years. and healing wounds over half a century old. the historic agreement reached between south korea and japan on so-called comfort women.

e

>> welcome back to al jazeera america, coming up in this half hour of international news iran has begun to ship out yurm as paruranium aspart of that nuclet threatened to derail everything. but first a look at the stories making headlines across the u.s. in our american minute. texas and other states continue

to try oface a dangerous storm system that has spawned tornadoes, heavy rain and blizzards. tornadoes touched down in texas killing at least 11 people and damaging thousands of homes. the storm also triggered havoc with air travel schedules. forcing hundreds of delays and cancellations across the nation. a grand jury has declined to bring criminal charges against a cleveland police officer involved in the shooting of 12-year-old boy last year, tamir rice was killed as he played with a toy gun. timothy mcginty said it would not cheer anyone nor should it. shooting deaths, one said it was accidental, officers answered a domestic disturbance call, killed a teenager carrying a baseball bat, a neighbor standing by the student was also

killed. why officers have tasers and only guns. gls more large scale deadly attacks. more than 80 people died in a series of suicide bombing shootouts and rocket propelled grenade fire. two women blew themselves up at a market and another, a bomb was detonated outside a mosque. the government insisted the military v has the upper hand on boko haram. ahmed idris has the story. >> boko haram's former stronghold, the zalbesa forest is mired in myth and notoriety. the mere mention of it fills many nigerians with dread. it is a vast territory seized by boko haram. a new government and military leadership took over this year. it is now declared that the group is no longer dominant.

>> now it is daily becoming more peaceful, a better place than it used to be. and we believe that for every second for every minute for wherever we will be things will continue to improve. >> still, the military is stepping up operations, mopping up and securing areas three have recaptured. no nigerian territory has seen so much bombing as the straight of land behind me. the zambesa forest has been pounded for years. we were told it was safe to go in there because of continuing military operations, to stop or slow down the nigerian ministry from advancing. our military handlers took us through areas of destruction, a legacy of six years of violence.

>> i don't think the army is going to stay here for a very long time due to the defeat, because boko haram is no longer to stay. >> before the military chased them out in fact girls who are taken from this town long before the chibok girls were abducted. for two years 70-year-old fisherman mohammed couldn't go to the river. but now his new fish traps are ready to be laid. >> translator: now we can go to the river and with the troops around things are getting better and better. >> reporter: things have improved but fear remains as boko haram has carried out a series of suicide bombings recently. like many people in the northeast, mohammed bello knows the fight for stability may continue for some time to come.

ahmed idris, al jazeera, northeastern nigeria. >> nato's support mission which is a training and counterterrorism force for afghanistan, continued an attack on suicide bombers, a taliban bomber killed at least one person and wounded 33 others. the attack comes two weeks after a major insurgent attack on the capital city. al jazeera's zane basrami reports. >> a pickup truck, happened near the kabul airport. suicide bomber's target appear to be members of nato's security forces but instead civilians were caught up in the blast. >> i was standing near my shop when suddenly i heard a huge explosion and everything became dark around me. shattered pieces of iron fell

over me. i was three meters away from the explosion. i saw a teenager dead on the ground, it was really horrible. >> the explosion hit a square. kabul's chief of police says the attack was aimed at creating fear among afghans. >> suicide bomber car loaded with explosive et cetera detonated his in this area.thosl civilians. >> a series of set backs for afghan government. in september the taliban took control of the afghan city of kunduz and held it for two weeks before the afghan army regained control. taliban attack on the kandahar airport complex. the attack in kabul came a day after the head of pakistan's

army attended a conference in the city. zane basrabi, al jazeera. >> jennifer glasse has been living in and reporting on afghanistan for years. jennifer, welcome. >> thanks for having me. >> this astack ton kabul airport, what's going on? >> well, the taliban have been really aggressive in recent months. that's the second attack on that particular road just in the last few months alone and so typical of those attacks it was afghan civilians who were the victims. one afghan civilian killed and dozens injured, including children. in september they took control of kunduz city in the north. that's the first time they've taken an urban center since they were ousted in 2001. and in the south there's very heavy fighting in helmand province. bricbritish forces are down thee

helping, they got into sangen just a couple of days ago and there is a big concern about lach kavagi, where civilians from faibing areas have fled and a lot of concern that if the taivel were able to take over that center it would be areal problem. >> so in the mitts of the taliban counteroffensive, put it in perspective as to how much territory they've gained and how it compares to previous years? >> about 30% of districts across the country, not only also in the east and the south which were their traditional strongholds but also we are seeing a large resurgence in the north in central afghanistan as well. >> you've been living in afghanistan for many years. what is life like in kabul, given the taliban resurntcy, has >> these are attacks that people

take as a fact of life. more people are concerned about security, we have seen an exodus ever afghan, the second largest that have happened in europe, they hoped by now more than a year into slog' ashraf ghani's presidency, that things would be better. so a lot of anxiety. >> has that anxiety been reflected by the ghani government? >> well, ashraf ghani understands, he has launched this new ambitious jobs program across the country of trying oget people to work to get at least partial employment around the country. he's making these initiatives.

i think afghans would like to see more concrete changes but he knows the changes have to be big, corruption one of his biggest problems. >> finally are there things you are going to be looking for that are sort of key moments in the new year that can make or break the direction the government is going? >> we are watching very carefully foothold of islamic state or daesh. now they are recruiting 25 over the country's 30 provinces. they can pay their soldiers more money than the afghan army can pay its soldiers. we have seen very brutal attacks there. what's happening with peace talks, the afghans say they are lepg to revive the talks. american troops are going to stay at the numbers they are, 10,000 and because the americans have made that commitment nato

forces say they're going to stay as well. i think everyone is watching very closely what happens in afghanistan, they see what happens in iraq and syria as perhaps a warning sign not to let you know governments fail, not to let armies fail and i think that's what everyone's focusing on right now because without security you can't have stability or prosperity. >> al jazeera's jennifer glasse, thanks for joining us, we appreciate it. >> thank you, always nice to be here. >> stockpile of low and enriched uranium is now heading to russia. the shipment means iran no longer has enough uranium to produce a nuclear weapon. rosiland jordan has the report from washington. >> doesn't mean everything has been completed under the joint

condition, jcpoa, they have to prove they have dismantled the infrastructure that could have allowed them to build nuclear weapons. the iaea still has to are implement its own inspection regime. in the meantime it is not clear yet when the iranians are going to receive their natural uranium stores which they can use for peaceful energy purposes. the u.s. does see progress in that it is looking forward to what is being called implementation day, the day when the terms of the jvpoa have been concluded and the international community can then start to remove sanctions against the iranian government. >> al jazeera's rosiland jordan in washington. tensions are rising in turkey against a government opposition of a leader who

the u.s. state department is applauding a landmark deal reached today on so-called comfort women, the thousands of women and girls japan forced into sex during world war ii. victoria gatenby has the story. >> the victims have waited 70 years for an apology from japan. it timely came. >> we have been expressing our feelings of remorse on this issue as previous administrations have, that will not change. >> it's an issue that strained relations between the two countries for years. so there's relief that they can at last move on. >> in order to restore the dignity and regain the impaired reputation of the comfort women, as well as heal wounded hearts through the agreement, i think it's most important that the japanese government swiftly and

faithfully carry out the measures under this deal. >> historians estimate that almost 200,000 asian women, mostly from korea were forced into providing sex in brothels, set up during whroort. itworld war ii, the government's offer of $8.3 million to settle this situation. korea was a japanese colony from 1910 to 1945. that still affects south korea's rich with japan. this situation, however long in coming, offers hope for the future. >> this is a huge deal. as far as we can tell a long time problem that has divided these two countries have been seemingly resolved. at least on a government to government level. >> for many victims the trauma of the past has never gone away. but they say it's important that

injected with the experimental ebola vaccine. one was given a placebo, the other a trial vaccine. scientists are still looking for a cure against the highly contagious and fatal ebola virus. >> at first my family and i were scared. i didn't know what they were injecting me with and i don't know what the reaction it would cause. but doctors have told me it is my contribution to the fight against the virus. >> volunteers are not ejected with ebola but with a genetically safe version of the virus. then researchers give them two experimental vaccines. one to stimulate their immune response, the other to boost it. the other is to enhance the body's immune system altogether so kit riz the vaccine. >> like any other vaccines we expenditure some side effects like fevers and headaches.

we closely plornt our volunteers. our priority is that they are in safety. >> scientists are accelerating the testing phase to get product on the market as quickly as possible. >> this is unprecedented and scientists and researchers saying it is justified because of the scale of the ebola outbreak and the virus is still lurking in the environment. so it is still a threat for people in west africa. according to the united nations ebola in effected 28,000 peopl . some have developed a natural immunity against ebola but a third of the world population of chimps have died of the virus. scientists still don't know how the virus jumped to humans. the outbreak has generated fear at an unprecedented global response.
