escaped from prison, an embarrassment of enrique pena nieto's government. is in a mil military base in meo city. given that wasn't the first time he had broken out of prison the u.s. is expected to once again seek to put him on trial here. al jazeera's courtney kealy reports. >> reporter: mexico's president celebrated the capture of joaquin el chapo guzman. >> translator: this morning in the municipality of a town in sinaloa the capture of joaquin guzman. >> reporter: six months ago he staged a daring escape from one of mexico's most secure prisons, underhigh surveillance he stepped into a prison wall into

a prison shower, then into a small hole that led into a mile long tunnel that ended at a construction site. >> the turchl ha tunnel has pvc. >> some engineers estimated it took a year to built and cost about $1 million. similar to tunnels used to smug drugs into the u.s. he was recaptured on friday. an anonymous phone call tipped off the marines. under guzman's leadership the sinaloa cartel named after his home state, made billions on running drugs. he made the forbes list of top billionaires for over four years. responsible for nearly a quarter of the illegal drugs that come into the u.s. through mexico. whenever there's a community in the u.s. where you can find the

presence of drugs such as heroin, cocaine marijuana, methamphetamine, even designer drugs, those drugs are connected to el chapo. the sinaloa drug cartel operates in all states, the u.s. had issued a request for his detention. the escape of el chapo is scheduled to be released as a movie next week. courtney kealy, al jazeera. inside the hunt for el chapo, you wrote the book on guzman and the mexican drug wars. a lot of analysts thought the mexicans would never capture el chapo alive. are you surprised?

>> quite frankly, yeah, i always thought -- i started looking into guzman in 2007. when basically, most people in mexico had written him off and started thinking well no, this is going to be the last guy standing of his generation. the last narco, of his kind, and i always thought he would be the type of person to go out sort of guns blazing. he vowed never to return to prison. after escaping in 2001. but then, you know he was caught in 2014, escaped again, in that ridiculous fashion, building a tunnel, which to my mind, must have been planned before he was even caught. and now, captured again, the capture this time doesn't surprise me as much. as perhaps last:00. >> it was quite something to watch the pomp and circumstance

of the mexican government announcement of the capture. a big ceremony headed by president pena nieto where he argued that mexicans can trust the country's institutions. given all your reporting is that just wishful thinking? >> well, no. i mean the pompous ceremony is at this point laughable. it's, you know i was a big critic of our own in the u.s. mission accomplished, those sorts of grandstanding. it does more for military, for law enforcement, for their morale than anyone else. for the general public they're saying, will he escape by monday? >> right, and that raises the question of the institutions. you know because i know your book highlights people who have the courage to stand up to the cartels. but also, how the cartels have corrupted every aspect of mexican law enforcement. so is that why the operation against el chapo had to be conducted by the military? >> yes, i mean that is -- the

marines and navy have been conducting over the last few years have been conducting effectively the special ops operations, the boots on the ground, the guys in the hills of -- the mountains of mexico are not -- they're not always corrupt but they've learned to turn a blind eye. they're tired. they just do their daily job of routine patrols. >> finally, talking about the possibility of his escaping again. extradition to th to the u.s. wd solve that issue. but the mexicans said he needs to serve his sentence there. do you think that might change now? >> they have two options. try him and if found guilty of all charges, imprison him. and make clear, make sure that he is -- you know kept under wraps. that means you know putting the military in charge of running the prison and perhaps show the public every two months that he's still there.

this is not too hard. let the press in. the other option is, extradition which i think would just you know forget national pride when it comes to this. which mexico has and rightly so. but you know it would be great for u.s. mexican counter-drug operations. the extradition of la barbie, recently, another drug trafficker who works for el chapo, was another step forward. and you know, extradition is always a good -- the better option i think. in large part, also, because through chapo, we might find -- we might learn more about corruption than we've ever known. and although it would be horrible for state in mexico to admit it, you know, admit those lengths of -- that network of corruption, it can only help if you admit it. and then work on it.

because there are people who are willing to help and work on it. >> malcolm, it's good to have your insights on things i know you've worked closely on, thank you. >> thank you very much. >> authorities in egypt says one of two men who carried out an attack at a hotel today wore a suicide belt. two tourists from tra an austrid sweden were stabbed. this was the chaotic scene outside the bella vista hotel, recently, egypt has seen a series after tacks o of attacks. fired bird shot at a security post outside cairo's three birds

chief, frederica mogherini revealed a $109 million package to support the 98 sent military. logistical support but no ground troops. >> we agreed that a libyan response determined by the libyan unity that can be supported in the way the lynnians will determine by international union and also by the european union but it has to be libyan led and based on the libyan oournt. united nations. >> the libyan unity government is turnlgt base currently baseda because of security concerns. an i.s.i.l. fighter has apparently killed his own

mother. in raqqa, i.s.i.l.'s de facto capital in syria. fingerprint belonging to the main suspect in the paris attack. investigators said there is no way to tell when fugitive salla abdeslam left the print. drove abdeslam after the attack. officials seized vests and found traces of explosives at the apartment. 130 people were killed in the november attacks. an arab israel citizen was killed in a shootout today. authorities tracked him to an abandoned building in his northern home town of arara, al jazeera's imtiaz tyab has the story. >> the eight day man hunt came to a deadly end when police tracked him down at a building in the north of israel. they say melhem tried to flee

building and opened fire. that is when police returned fire and when he was killed they say immediately police also reporting that none of their officers were injured in the exchange. now, again, in the background of all of this there's been an awful lot of criticism of security forces for their failure to track down melhem for so many days while police and indeed intelligence services have not described the attack on new year's day as nationalist motivated or terrorism they do describe mr. melhem himself as a terrorist. that of course is very interesting. it comes as a very dense time across israel and the palestinian occupied territories, we have seen months of violence, stlienl violence ts claimed over 150 palestinians.

but it's seeming that security forces aren't connect egg the violence carried out by melhem to this latest unrest. still many israelis are breathing a sigh of rethat he was captured and still questions remain over his motive. >> held without charge for 14 years, the pentagon alleged that he was a recruiter and probably served as osama basha bin ladens spiritual advisor. president obama says he wants to close the facility before he leaves office. the u.s. military accidentally sent an advanced missile to the cuban government, hasn't been able to get it back.

>> south africa's ruling party the african national congress is marking its 140th anniversary, born in the early 20th century became a liberation movement and became powerful with the electric of nelson mandela in 1994. for tonight's in context segme segment, al jazeera's hawrms hau mutasa has the story.

>> homes jobs, better services, and a better life when it came into power in 1994. since then, she says nothing has changed in the shanty town she's called home for more than 20 years. >> we thought anc would change things when they took over. we thousandth aparthei thought r but look where we're living now. >> reporter: to try and appease an increasingly agitated poor black majority waiting for decent gomps. the angovernance. president jacob zuma could face replace many. the rand is still struggling to recover after president zuma

sacked two finances ministers. >> the anc needs to prove to the world that it knows what it's doing and that with just a brief moment, an accident, let's put it that way. that's what it has to prove. so that is a very big challenge that it is faced with. >> reporter: the anc inherited a divided society, the living standards of the majority black population were inferior to whites. a lot more people have access to running water and electricity but millions still need basic services. the anc says delivering them is a huge task. >> the economy isn't growing and therefore can't create jobs. the anc will find ourselves in 2016 at a time when we need oapply austerittoapply austerit.

>> want president zuma to resign. the anc enjoys much support because it helped end apartheid, but perhaps the oldest liberation movement is in trouble if it doesn't deliver faster on promises made. haru mutasa, al jazeera, johannesburg. >> deputy assistant secretary of state for african air force. ambassador it's always good to have you with us. the problem for the anc goes beyond failing to fulfill promises. south africa has a weakening economy, growing inflation and all sorts of corruption allegation against the anc leadership. >> the growing resentment is fundamental and reflects the anc in the 20 years or so it's been in power has lost its way in

many ways. it does not have a clear cut economic philosophy, it's divided within, it's been saddled with sadly a good deal of corruption and poor appointments and lost some of that idealistic spirit with which he came in i it came in. >> how much of the credit could laid at the feet of jacob zuma? >> he last not provide the kind of leadership that the country needs. he has been very concerned and schooleconsumed with his own si, protecting himself against charges of corruption, surrounding himself with a lot of very loyal people. but he hasn't provided clear leadership on the economy. and unfortunately, has done very little to stem the corruption. and i think it's left the anc in

some disarray. there is unhappiness there. but there are elements in the anc that brought him to power against tabo nbekke and don't know what to do. >> and his predecessor resigned as a recall process beginning and there are some noises being made about recall zuma, especially the anc does poorly in local elections this spring. do you think a recall is possible? >> it is a sad commentary when you have a one party largely one, one and a half party state that the only action against an incumbent is to recall him. rather than having a more vibrant electoral system. i think there will be a very, very serious discussion in 2017 anc questions about what to do. they may -- convention about what to do.

they may not depose him from power, recall him but they may curb some of his powers and strengthen the hand let's say of the vice president. >> how do you expect the anc to pomp in the elections? is it pretty clear that it will continue to see a decline in its hold on the electorate? >> i think that's true. it may be to some extent from people not coming out. there's no single opposition party. but there are several communities, even the johannesburg community and other communities, where opposition parties will do very well. and i think it will reflect a decline in that hold that the anc has had on the populace for so long. >> how soon do you think that south africa will become a two-party or a multi-party democracy? >> well, it is in general a multi-party in that there are a number of parties operating. but there is no party that is

really commanded a large share of the black population the way the anc has. i think that will not happen until there's a more serious break away of elements from the anc, eventually joining up with the democratic alternative, or some other combination. i think it will take time. maybe another five years or so. before you see that happen. >> former u.s. ambassador to south africa, princeton lyman, always good to see you sir. >> my pleasure. the united nations is mobilizing aid for syria, where hundreds of those are starving. people are coming together to show solidarity for those suffering. also a look at human rights in saudi arabia, as protestors call for release of a 81 blogger sentenced to ten years in prison

challenges confronting his country. he told the nation that fruitful gains come with persistent efforts. his way perhaps of saying, it's going to be a tough year. adrian brown, al jazeera, beijing. tonight u.s. officials are accusing volkswagen of stonewalling a probe into emissions cheating. car maker is citing privacy concerns when refusing to share documents with prosecutors. the attorneys general are leading an investigation on behalf of more than 40 states. an investigation that involves more than half a million diesel cars. in london amnesty intlcial received international held a ve 31 blogger was charged with insulting islam, his sentence includes a total of a thousand

lashes and ten years in prison. >> raif is still in prison. still serving a ten year sentence and those 950 lashes are still outstanding. nothing has been withdrawn. i hope that we can at least stop that but we need to see much more. we need to see him released, this is someone who has done nothing except exercise his freedom of expression. >> amnesty international is critical of the you descrain executiosaudi arabianexecution g a shiite cleric. jasmine heist is amnesty international'international's s. he and others criticized saudi

officials without doing anything. how extensive the saudi crack down is on speech? >> absolutely. thank you so much for having me this evening. yes. absolutely. badawi's case in many case has become a lightning rod for the international community to understand what the crack down on freedom of expression has looked like in that country. and the international community again very literally saw it when just about a year ago tomorrow, a video surfaced of raif badawi being flogged in public space simply for his work on the blog, saudi arabian liberals. >> i know there are concerns about badawi's health especially if he is flogged again and he is sentenced to many other floggings. they threw his lawyer into prison and gave him an even

locker sentence. >> looking at this case we do hope that the international outcry on raif's behalf will continue. as you note however he is due to 950 more lashes and a ten year prison sentence. his wife and children are waiting for him in canada, every day, every friday when he is due to be flogged, are agony for them. and so we continue to call for his un unconditional release. >> he is only one of the human rights protestors who are in prison. >> his lawyer is the first person imprisoned under a 2014 law to criminalize human rights work and tree speech. his detention, as the international community has been looking at raif's case and

horrified in speaking out we have also seen a distressing acceleration in the way that the saudi arabian authorities are cracking down on human rights. >> and the saudis are likely the country that executes more people per capita in the world. is the judiciary independent at all? >> it's an interesting question. i think when you look at cases like walida waher, "like" raif badawi, they are operating in a space where they can have very little trust that the law will protect them. beyond that there are often people who are detained for organizing protests who are never even given access to the courts, to challenge the charge against them. >> if u.s. saudi relations at a fairly low point, does the u.s. on the one hand have much leverage on the saudis to improve their human rights record and on the other hand, is the u.s. inclined to use whatever leverage it has?

>> well, i think what's important to remember here is, regardless of where we are at this particular moment, with u.s.-saudi relations, we will continue to have a strategic partnership, or a so-called strategic partnership, that involves billions of dollars in arms sales and oil wealth. the u.s. is not only implicitly sort of giving a green light to saudi arabia to continue to commit human rights abuses but in some ways explicitly supporting them in doing so. >> right especially this being so important in the fight against i.s.i.l. do you see any inclination on the u.s.'s part to push the saudis toward more respect of human rights? >> what we have seen is some willingness from the u.s. government to speak out on certain cases. cases like raif averages, cases like briefly like wallid

waher's, however, we have seen a case of double speak in some of these cases. what we continue to call for push for and hope for is this sort of dual approach in our relationship with saudi arabia will cease and we will continue to put human rights at the very center of u.s. foreign policy rather than relegating it to the periphery. >> jasmine heist of amnesty international a pleasure to have you with us. thank you. >> thank you for having me. part of the chinese embassy was bulldozed, the problem doctors say they were still treating patients inside. a hong kong in jeopardy, the battle brewing between street vendors and food carts. taliban gains ground in afghanistan.

engagements elsewhere. australia's the age warns, the pull back in the stock market does not mean the end of china's prosperity but instability to come. china society is based on trading personal liberties for prosperity so a downturn would put pressure on the regime making a volatile financial market more than just an economic problem. and canada's globe and mail has this cartoon of north korea's claims for a successful hydrogen bomb test. it shows north korea sitting out in the cold with an empty food bowl trying to warm its hands by the image of a nuclear blast by a television set. demolishing a hospital while people were inside. the hospital's radiology and morgue were on land that was ordered evacuated before the demolition but one patient and

generation. although the government stopped issuing licenses for new daipaidongs, years ago, it has relaxed its regulation, allowing them to be passed on. enter the food trucks. the government is planning to introduce mobile street food outlets similar to ones operating in the united states. as a way of increasing tourism. >> translator: it's good for western food butter hard to cook traditional chinese food from a van. >> but some critics say they promotes foreign food instead of home grown cuisine. like many in hong kong crystal young and her friends welcome the are vans and say they will try them. >> we are not in a five star

hotel, we grew up here. >> for many in hong kong the dai pai dong still offers the food of comfort in these fast changing times. rob mcbride, al jazeera, hong kong. chief medical officer of britain says drinking anything regularly, enough to increase the risk of cancer. bees have been mysteriously disappearing from around the world for more than 20 years. this time for the first time, a federal agency has warned pesticides are part of the cause. the new peap each report is fueling new demands the government needs to do a better job of regulating pesticides. that is the it for the
