itself for a report into the worst drug scandal history. live in munich. . >> indonesia's capital has been hit by a series of coordinated attacks. there were six explosions in the central business districts of jakarta. several people are dead. let's go straight to step vaessen in jakarta for the latest. what more do you have four us at this point. >> the authorities have given an all clear in jakarta, and parts of the road here at this important intersection have been opened. you can see probably that the army is still here. they are standing by. police are at the scene. it is safe. they secured the whole area,
5:02 am
including buildings around here. now there's a lot of talk and speculation about who is behind this. the intelligence chief and the security minister denied that there has been any failure in intelligence. they say they were not caught offguard, they were on alert, but it's difficult to know when and where these attackers can attack and also they need a few days to find out what kind of explosives have been used. there's talk of very coordinated attacks. there were three suicide bombers, or two. that figure is not clear. one went into the starbucks cafe here, and blew himself up, and another went to a small police post also behind. and they were very clearly specifically targetting police there. a lot of people still around 10 people are still in the hospital being treated, and the situation
5:03 am
is calming down. as you can see in the report it was a lot different a few hours ago. >> reporter: the blast tore through jakarta's downtown area. at least six separate explosions. a multipronged attack cheese -- close to the united nations and the sarinah shopping mall. >> for 10 minutes it was chaos. >> reporter: indonesian television released these pictures of a suspect carrying a bomb. a bomb is known to have gone off near a starbucks, and a police post destroyed in the blast. >> they cut short operations. >> we cannot be afraid or defeated by the terror attacks. i urge people to stay calm, because everything is under
5:04 am
control. >> reporter: the attacks were concentrated around the street, a busy thorough fare in central jakarta, close to the offices and a presidential palace. the traffic and people that clog the streets are gone, replaced with heavy security. >> no one has claimed responsibility at this point in time, but it appears that the police did receive some kind of carning. >> the security minister that arrived at the scene said nobody has taken responsibility for the attacks, but said he and the intelligence chief says there has been information about - intelligence information about an upcoming even, and it was not clear what it was because the words used was a concert. according to the intelligence people in indonesia, if that kind of information is picked up
5:05 am
about a concert, that means that an attack was looming. no one knew where and when. what we heard in december was there would be attacks in new year's eve. police took it seriously, they monitored groups that came back from syria, and they have arrested dozens of people in the last couple of weeks, but also we say they didn't manage to arrest everyone that they wanted to arrest at that time. there were a few fugitives that is they were looking for. and those people that got away they might have had something to do with the attack here today. the information so far, the whole day, has been sketchy and interesting as well. even about the amount of casualties, the victims that were here at the attacks.
5:06 am
the police chief told al jazeera at one stage there were 17 that died. later it turned out that that information was not true. so now we are still hearing that seven people, so far have died here. >> well information is scant about responsibility at this point in time. we can examine the specific locations of the blast, of the attacks. let's look at the map. as we zoom in, we can see thamrin street, the proximity to the united nations office, an area filled with other offices and western brands, starbucks targeted, of course, as well as the jakarta theatre. local media reported that attackers were hiding. there has been a report that the whole area is clear. >> what about the targets, the targeted areas that the bombers
5:07 am
focused on. what do we clean from that. well, you could say that the attackers couldn't have hurt indonesia more in the heart by attacking the location. it's really in the center of jakarta. it's at a district,he business district right in the middle of it. all the important officers are here, the united nations are here. also the palace is not far from here, it's a strategic and crucial part of indonesia, and, of course, now, immediately the shock and investors - indonesia was struggling economically. and a lot of people, of course, are concerned that this attack, and this has not happened for quite a few years, that it will totally throw back indonesia again for a few years. >> it's worth noting of the seven killed, five were suspected attackers.
5:08 am
so you wouldn't think the attackers would record as a wholesale success. step vaessen in jakarta, thank you the rest of the news is ahead. we'll take a look at how hard freedom is shaky five years after tunisians ousted their former president we'll be in calais where the threat of eviction is over refugees, wondering where they'll end up next. >> and sport coming up. despite a dark performance, the golden state warriors lose their third game in the n.b.a. season an attack near a police station in south-eastern turkey killed five people. it happened in a province. weeks of fighting between government forces and rebels.
5:09 am
>> let's speak to andrew simmonds, live with the latest from istanbul. what can you tell us about this attack. . >> well, it was an attack aimed at security force, and it certainly appears that it wasn't the result, because really desperate scenes of children being dragged from the rubble of a collapsed building on the site near a police headquarters, in which a trurk bomb - it was a pick-up struck that drove at the headquarters building, and detonated. a large amount of explosives. it took the front off the police headquarters, but a building nearby housing many residents just collapsed in the mayhem. and now we do hear now that there are a total of six people
5:10 am
killed. one of them is a police officer. the rest are - some of them are members of police families, and at least three are, indeed, civilians from that residential building that collapsed among some children. one of them reported to be a baby. now, the turkish government is blaming squarely the p.k.k., the kurdistan workers party. this is a region in the south-east. 30km from. the center for turkish government from the kurds, and now the p.k.k. which had a ceasefire in place in yule, it break apart. it is a burgeoning problem, and a bloodthirsty flight in many areas, and this attack was - appears to be a coordinated -
5:11 am
attempt at an accord nation in timing by the p.k.k. on another security force bloc. and media apps. another province, where there were no casualties there, and a prolonged missile attack. rocket attack on the headquarters, and also small arms. >> thank you very much indeed. andrew simmonds reporting from istanbul. >> on to ethiopia, where 140 have been killed on a crack down on anti-government protests, the ruling party doomed with political unrest since it came to power 25 years ago. charles stratford reports this woman's husband was arrested on december 23rdrd. she has not heard or seen from him. >> translation: in the past we have used false evidence.
5:12 am
all the charges were false, and the witnesses spent. she didn't commit crimes at the time. but she was charged. >> reporter: her husband is a reported academic and opposition politician. after three years, seven months behind bars. she was freed from gaol and sentenced to eight years for being affiliated to the government at the time. he supported a protest by members of the roma people. ethiopia's largest ethnic group. al jazeera spoke to him two weeks before his arrest. >> the government was ready in a responsible way. >> the protest was sparked by a plan to develop areas in the roma reason outside the capital.
5:13 am
they integrated the development plan, unconstitutional, because it ignores a federal system, because it gives each region a degree of self-rule. they say the plan is nothing more than a land grab. the roma have used the government of ignoring political and economic rights. >> the protests representatives a big crisis that the ruling party had to face since coming to power 25 years ago. the organization human rights watch says 140 people have been killed and many more arrested and detained. rights groups say that they are using hard anti-terrorism laws to crush any dissent. >> the government says it suspended what it described as activities related to the integrated cost plan, and blames the violence on elements to connections for what describes as a terrorist investigation.
5:14 am
including the opposition leader. >> he was suspected of masterminding a campaign that led to the destruction and loss of lives. his skill is being investigated by the police. >> she has asked the police for news of her husband. she and others have no choice but to wait. >> world health organisation announced the end of the ebola outbreak in liberia, meaning the epidemic is officially over. many are living with the after effects the men recruited to incinerate the bodies, and are forced to live in squalor, succumbing to alcohol abuse. >> reporter: the martial crematorium, or what is left it: a place that this man returns to
5:15 am
with reluctance. at the height of the ebola outbreak in liberia, as bodies piled up in the street. he and a group of other young men did what few young liberians did before. they set fire for the dead. for four months they burnt close to 2,000 bodies. >> i have to live with it. >> reporter: many liberians blame franklin and other ebola burners for cremating the dead. international experts stopped spread of ebola. liberians believe they'll come back to haunt the living. they are not worried about it. they demolished franklin's house. >> i'm out. they have moved.
5:16 am
that is what the young men expected. they thought they would be rewarded, receiving apologies from the people. they are still waiting. and the punishment from the community is what is already a terrible time for them. the year was stopped. their lives made. their times spent drinking alcohol. that's what they did to get through their task. >> i did it for my country. how i had, yes, it was awful. >> the men are forced to live together, sharing the same house not far from the crematorium.
5:17 am
the house they hated so much. no one else will accept them let's move on to the weather. everton, i'd say you'll talk about australia. >> funny you should say that. we had a dramatic change for south-eastern australia. southerly b.a.f.t.a. coming through. wednesday afternoon temperatures in melbourne, 44 degrees, southerly wind comes in and whacked the heat out of the conditions here by thursday. temperatures struggling through 15 degrees, best part of a 30 degree temperature. that's the system making its way to the south-east. you see the cold front, the blue line making its way across sydney. if you are in sydney on thursday morning at least, heading for the beach. glorious conditions, fabulous,
5:18 am
by the afternoon the weather system made its way through. this is what you can expect, and this is absolutely teaming down. dramatic change in conditions and temperatures as well. sydney going from 40 to 20 for friday afternoon, the wet weather making its way in. temperature in melbourne bouncing back. wind in a southerly direction. no higher than 19 degrees, going on into saturday. we get up to 25 in melbourne. being a little more pleasant. the sun coming out in sydney. with a top temperature of 20 degrees. >> french fighter jets pounded an i.s.i.l. communication center in mosul, part of a string of u.s. led air strikes, a curfew has been imposed in tikrit after battles between iraqi forces and i.s.i.l. fighters. let's get up to date with everything going on in iraq.
5:19 am
mohammed jamjoom is there for us. what's the latest in tikrit. >> this is another example of how precarious the situation remains in iraq when it comes to security. about four hours ago, a town - there was an attack for i.s.i.l., a suicide bomber detonated his explosives, targetting barracks, as well as pro-government sunni tribal fighters. a tribal commander was killed as well as other fighters in the attack. and fighters fired on the barracks, attacked by suicide bombing. we are told that the clashes are intense. they are still ongoing. many believe that this is an attempt by i.s.i.l. to try to retake downs.
5:20 am
they could go into tikrit's once more. this shows how desperate it is to regain territory. >> we had the recent attack. what is the difference. >> a lot of folks in baghdad believe that i.s.i.l. is opening another front in their war here to take as much territory as possible. now they have baghdad in their sites. and the attack on the mall in which dozens were killed. this is an intense siege in which there were hostages for hours. many believe that this is certainly i.s.i.l. claiming that they have baghdad in their sites, and they'll attack more and more the capital and the outskirts of the capital. this is a reason why the fight against i.s.i.l. is so difficult. you take ramadi, yes, the center
5:21 am
of ramadi has been cleared of i.s.i.l. to great fanfare of the iraqi government, and its partners in security. many in iraq believe the fight in ramadi is still very intense. they need to clear eastern ramadi, northern ramadi, that fight has not finished. in the wake of that fight, you see attacks happening in the capital. again on a daily basis. you see more and more intense attacks by i.s.i.l. and others. it seems the fight is a long way from being over. >> we have the various envelopes and attacks. put it together for us. where are we at with the state of iraq, and where are we heading in the coming weeks and months. >> that's a good question. most iraqis you speak with don't tend to repeat the lines on
5:22 am
this. the government announces that there's a big offensive. they are skeptical. they believe is to be propaganda. many that i have spoken to believe i.s.i.l. will get closer to baghdad. in light of the fact that much of ramadi has been cleared. the fighting in ramadi still goes on. certainly the more intense the government would like people to believe is very much pitting up a fight to retain the territory and retake the parts of ramadi that they lost. then you have the fights going on in new york. it still has not been cleared of i.s.i.l. they haven't been cleared of i.s.i.l., you have towns like sinjar in which the population cannot get returns. it's a complicated situation throughout this country. the government declares to win
5:23 am
the battle against i.s.i.l., and the partners in the security situation. the fight is ongoing, they'll retake the areas from i.s.i.l., and they have lost a lot of territory they gained. many don't believe na and are worried about what will happen in the months to come difficult months ahead tunisians are marking five years since the overthrow of the long-time leaders. he was the first ruler to fall in what became known as the arab spring. he fled unable to calm national fury. let's hear from our correspondent in the tunisian capital of tunis, who is explaining the changes that remains. >> in this square five years ago it was the focal point of the pro-democracy movement that
5:24 am
spread throughout the country. now they have a government. a parliament and political freedoms, but it's beset by division, instability and the rise of groups affiliated with al qaeda and the states. tunisians will convert here to pay tribute to those killed five years ago, fighting for political freedoms. >> i'm pleased to say we have al jazeera's senior political analyst. new constitution, free elections, a model of democratic transition, you could say. there's a big butt, isn't there as well. >> yes, of course. democratic processes are about means, not about ends. there is no end for democracy. it is a process. politics is about the management of power. and tunisians are trying to manage power within the country, especially political power and other forms of power within
5:25 am
society and religion and so forth. i was there after the evolution started and after the elections, and being part of al jazeera's crew, i met with the president of tunisia, and with the head of the opposition. what we saw there was not only goodwill, but also a belief that this is the only way for tunisia to go forward, is through dialogue, political processes, political agreement and new constitution, and evolution or sometimes. certainly natural violence. >> the trouble is as part of that process, violence has come to the fore, as we have seen in the attacks. >> that's for sure. that tell us us that tunisia, while it is a unique model. it's part of the world or neighbourhood. whether it's libya, al jazeera,
5:26 am
it's unstable and violent. the whole region is going through that transformation. some of that, when they take on its own affairs, it try to do it in a more political sort of way. the region is in the midst of turmoil and that ends up spreading to tubizia -- tunisia. we see a few thousands tunisians going to fight for i.s.i.l. there's marginalized tunisians effected by the turmoil in the region, these are the exception, the rule in tunisia is that people are trying to move forward, albeit at times. >> how different is life, if it is different at all for ordinarily tunisians now, and compared to five years ago. >> this is one. more important questions.
5:27 am
when i visited tunisia, i visited on a number of occasions. i spoke to a number of people from civil society, labour unions. we have done, you know, expended coverage of that. what i sensed. it's not easy for a tunisian economy, with no national matters to pick up. after decades of dictatorship. the strength and talent of the people. there is the labour force, the collective intelligence of the society. >> but there are no natural resources. there is no surplus production, and there is no investments from na side of the world. so what is happening now, tunisians, or the tunisian government is trying to cut public expenditures to please
5:28 am
european and other investors, that will not bode well for tunisians who need to see there's improvement on their own lives. i hate to say it. the west that pretends it supports democracy has not invested in a real way in tunisia, it's mutting i.m.f. -- putting i.m.f. to cut public expenditure. i'm not sure that both well for the evolution or the success of civil society. >> we'll have to leave it there. great to have you ahead in the second half of the newshour. more from jakarta, and analysing how the latest attacks will impact tunisians. >> also a group of cuban migrants headed to the u.s. reaches mexico as part of a regional deal.
5:29 am
scplt how this south african cricket player changing public perception after history making
5:30 am
welcome back, you are watching the newshour, these are the top stories, a series of blast hit the center of the indonesian capital jakarta killing seven people, three civilians, and four attackers. police say three suicide bombers carried out the highly coordinated attack. two attackers were spotted carrying rifles.
5:31 am
so far no one claimed responsibility for the attack. indonesia's president joko widodo cut a trip short to return to jakarta and ordered security forces to capture those involve and urged for calm. indonesians have been aware of the danger of terrorism, especially in 2002. in that year, bombings in bali killed 202 people. more than half were foreigners. two years later a car bomb was set you have. targetting attackers killing 20 in a series of bombings, the last was in 2009, when two suicide attackers set off explosives at hotels.
5:32 am
let's go back to step vaessen live in virgin galactic, how is what happened today in jakarta, how does it fit into the context of the previous incidents. >> as you said, the last big attack in jakarta was twine. seven years ago. a while since indonesia was ashocked by an attack of this size. since the attacks in 2002, 2004/2005, up until 2009, it was mostly a big group called jemaah islamiyah, a group attacking foreign targets. that's why they were aiming at clubs and hotels, and the australian embassy were targeted at that time. what happened after that is the police, and the dancers, the
5:33 am
anti-terror police went on full force to try to crack down the movement. they have arrested hundreds. up to 700 people here. they have been brought. those involved in the major attack in bali have been executed. a lot of other people have been shocked during police operations and this created a lot of anger. what happened is a lot of attacks or small attacks that happened was seen to be targetting police specifically. there was one suicide bomber in west java who blew himself up a couple of years ago, and there were a few other incidents as well. until recently, a month ago, police were telling us how worried they were about another attack, targetting police officers.
5:34 am
what you see today, and we have to say although police was monitoring the groups, she is denying this and the intelligence chief and security minister was saying they were across everything, it's a big country. it's difficult to know where and when attacks like these can happen. >> it's important to know two civilians were killed, and that is two two many, and one, we understand, is a canadian. given - although this was a well-coordinated and well planned attack, given the casualty count was not that high, it can't be regarded as a great success for those that perpetrated it.
5:35 am
>> if you see the location, there's a lot of people going backwards and forwards. it is true that considering the location, and the well preparedness, that it was not at high has may be tried to be achieved. the police told me also porl that they think that people, the groups in indonesia are not capable at the moment to commit the large-scale attacks after the operations that have been happening in the last decade. police were telling me that they don't have information that groups have this kind of weapon, they don't have the kinds of explosives any more that they used to have any more, but this attack shows that may be we
5:36 am
should not underestimate the capacity of the groups, although maybe they might have tried to target a much larger crowd. >> all right, step vaessen, thank you, reporting from the scene of one of those blasts in jakarta now, up to 2,000 refugees and migrants sheltering in a makeshift camp in calais are waiting to be evicted. they don't know when it will happen. let's get the latest from jacky rowland, who is there to tell us more. what is the situation right now? >> well, right now, nick, as uts mentioned. there is the expectation that at some stage up to 1500 people will be taking force. we are not sure what the modalities will be, from the tents in which they have been living, to the flimsy structures
5:37 am
that they have been in, vouched with mud and rainwater, and moved into this facility, and coming into shot you can see the white containers, and the crane behind them. they are lowering more containers into position. the idea is that the refugees should go and live inside there. some people victim already been registering to move in. others are very reticent and cautious about the idea of leaving their tents behind. as you may be able to see, nick, this looks a little like a prison camp. there's a mettle fence, there are lights and there are security guards. we noticed two different private security companies operating, crucial lip, in order to move in, the refugees need to have their fingerprints taken, they are afraid that this is a way to control them, forcing them to register and apply for asylum in
5:38 am
france. they are worried that the fence and the gate may prevent them going out, jumping on lorries, getting on to the train on the eurotunnel. most of the people that come, the reason is to cross the channel to the u.k. >> it's difficult at all times in calais at the camp. >> it has been a mild winter up until now. i have to say it looks colder today. it must make it harder for those that live there. there's a strong wind and heavy games. weigh came up to the high vantage point. you have to dodge the puddles, it's uncomfortable. there are n.g.o.s, aid workers
5:39 am
and volunteers that have an alternative solution, they are trying to build sturdy structures, you do see some structures made out of hard board. there are even doors, actually. so their idea is to build slightly stronger structures, so that the refugees can remain registered. not behind a mettle gate and behind security card but others are free to xom and go as they please, but with better shelter, protecting them more from the elements. we are expecting colder weather. >> we'll leave it there for the moment. jacky rowland reporting from calais before we move on, we are hearing news coming in to us that i.s.i.l. have not claimed responsibility for the attacks in jakarta which killed 11 people. police say three suicide bombers carried out the attack.
5:40 am
up until now no group named responsibility, now it seems i.s.i.l. has claixed responsibility, we'll examine that more closely as the day goes on all right. the grouch from the 8,000 -- group from the 8,000 cuban migrants stranded in costa rica in december arrived in mexico. part of pa pilot programme agreed from several countries allowing them to move to the united states. it's been a long and arduous trek back on their way, after being stuck for several weeks in costa rica, the first of nearly 8,000 migrants are headed north again. they are part of pa highlight programme including a flight. they were part of a group closed. the first stop el salvador. the visas were processed in the same building where every month authorities registered thousands
5:41 am
of el salvadorans. if a success, daily flights could follow, maybe two a day. . >> translation: i'm sad, i wish all of us could have made it here, we are all cubans, and we want to move forward. i suspect they'll be en route like us, the thing it we all cannot move at the same time. >> on the road. an overnight bus trip to mexico. they paid 550 for the flight. bus ticket. visa and travel insurance. 5am. they make it to the first land border. guatemala, they don't have to give up the buses. >> the vip include high-level escorts. >> they are safe, if they paid coyotes or smugglers, they'd pay more, and walking. >> finally day broke. new sites scene. and a chance to take a short pit stop on app guatemalan highway.
5:42 am
>> here we are, we have survived everything and are achieving our dream. >> taking it it mexico, the chartered tour stops, they'll have to make it on their own to the u.s. border. >> they explained where we need to go. we are not clear on how quell do it. >> they'll center to come up with a plan soon. they have arrived at the border. >> this plan put in place by central american countries got them this far to the border. now potentially the most dangerous part of their journey begins, as they cross through mexico, many on their owns coming up, cars that drive better than you. we track the course of driverless vehicles and i'm lee wellings of the munich hotel, where part two of the damning revelations on doping and athletics are set to be reviewed in a few hours time. they'll go to a high level.
5:43 am
5:44 am
5:45 am
. >> it's a 2-pronged approach,
5:46 am
semiautonomous, features allowing you to park your car, get in or out of traffic jams, and we are working on an autonomy which in an area the driver will need to be about prepared to step in. >> the lincoln can park and unpark itself. >> say you are on the 405 in los angeles, and you may be travelling at 70 miles per hour, and within a mile you are at full stop. the lincoln continental can stop you, taking you to a stop without you doing anything. >> at the international show in destroyed, car makers are showcasing their latest models. technology is moving fast. self-driving car could be on the road. much of this could be outdated. >> driverless cars ferry workers around.
5:47 am
automakers are fairying big. general motors invested $500 million in the ride-sharing company lift as part of a plan to launch self-driving taxis. john hendren detroit. >> i'm not sure i'd trust that. >> raul is here with the sport. >> an all-time spectacular game. that was the verdict. jurgen klopp, following a 3-3 draw at home to arsenal. he put the reds ahead. arsenal came back, going 2-2 in the break. gunners in front in the second half with his goal, and it looked like that would be enough. joe alan equalized in the 90th minute. >> in the beginning it was good. not perfect, not too far away from it. we knew how they play, and at the start we were better in the game. and played very good football.
5:48 am
>> it leaves liverpool in ninth. arsenal lead the table. tottenham beaten 1-0. man city a third. 0-0 at home. the scandal gripping world athletics, about to get worse. the second part of its report on doping and corruption within the sport. the author claims the information will have far-reaching consequences. lee wellings reports. >> athletics is under the microscope, and the findings caused a crisis. two months ago the world aind doping agency w.a.d.a. claimed there was state-sponsored doping. the nation was suspended and will only allow in competitors if satisfied with reform. russia is not the only country under suspicion.
5:49 am
>> the findings from part two of the independent investigation will be reviewed in munich, the findings will be damming. there'll be more on widespread doping, the focus on the governing body of athletics. dick pound, chairman of the commission promised there'll be a wow factor. >> as the investigation went on. we discovered information that not only related to sport in the general sense of it, but to possible criminal actions. >> the head of world athletics for 16 years has been charged with active corruption under french law, accused of covering up positive doping tests. his successors faced a torred first few months in the job. not only was the co-vice president under the act, but challenged in the perimeter on
5:50 am
his conflicting roles at the i.a.a.f. and ambassador for nike. co-left the sports wear company and denied it backed those that are hosts of the 2020 championships without other voters invited. w.a.d.a. focuses on papers released last year. they were all understand suspicion. coe stated determination to reveal trust in the sport. wada's latest report shows the long distance that athletics has to go to get on track in time for the olympics that report due to be published in munich, from where lee wellings joins us. 2015 could be seen as the year f.i.f.a.'s commission comes home to roost.
5:51 am
could 2016 see the same when it comes to doping? >> yes. f.i.f.a.'s situation is clearly bad enough with the levels of corruption and the geopolitics, you are talking about something that is conceivably bigger. from part one, where we see russia, a huge nation in so many way, but obviously in sport, being suspended from athletics, trying to get in to the olympics. and what i think we'll see in the report in a few hours time is you are going to hear more about levels of collusion at a high level. russia denied state sponsored doping. we are not talking about heads of nationalities, we are going up to government levels for collusion between the russians and the head of world athletics, at the time, he is accused of corruption, in fact, charged with active corruption under french law. the french prosecutor will update us, watching nervously on
5:52 am
what is the tournament president. who is sebastian coe, who was a vice president. you can see the pressure on him. he needs to explain to people what he was doing when he was vice president to not know what was going on, that completely deceived the public. >> we'll await that report. kenyan athletes wonder if their country will be name in the report and if they'll be banned from competitions like russia. unlike the russians, they hope they will not. malcolm webb reports. >> janet's athletics success is clear. she won gold and silver throughout 13 years of running. since 2012, more than 40 athlete failed, five from her club.
5:53 am
