elsewhere, the hard line approach did not solve the problem. it makes the situation become much worse. >> reporter: indonesia's largest muslim organization with more than 40 million members has called isil a problem. >> translator: terrorists are our own common enemy, the enemy of our religious communities. terrorism is against humanity, against religion, especially against islam. >> reporter: authorities are conducting raids in several parts of the country, hoping soon to announce some significant arrests. residents seem determined to show they will not be cared think thursday's attack. wayne haye reports from the indonesian capitol.

>> reporter: there was no sign of fear at the site of the attack, after five men came here armed with guns and explosives. instead people came to the area outside of the shopping mall in jakarta for a peace rally. >> this country is strong. we are united. indonesia is a multi-cultural place, and because of that, it's not easy to shake us. >> reporter: it's too early for defiance though for family members caught up in the violence. the names of the injured are listed outside of hospitals. this is an increase in security in some areas close to where the attack tapped, but this sprawling city has largely returned to normal. there has been a strong rejection of this attack by indonesians, particularly.

>> translator: on i'm bit concerned because the attack was very close to me, but there's nothing i can do. if i don't work, what can i do? >> reporter: this solidarity that has been shown, and something people in jar car ta say they have not seen before. >> we are not threatened, and that's why you see an outpo outpouring. >> reporter: there will also be nervousness for some time to come. and now there is more detail own those in the hunt behind the attacks. >> the will be hearing of various arrest detenni

detenning -- detentions and further questioning of individuals who may be linked to what happened on thursday. several arrests, and the release of three individuals from the southern areas, of jakarta. now they were released with apparently no connection to what has happened in the city center. the real line of questioning focuses on the five dead assailants. who were they? where did they come from? how did they get into the city? and were they supported by anyone here? and where did they get the weapons that caused such havoc at such a busy time. the security services themselveses will have to try to find a way to communicate with each other. and the intelligence chief says there will be a break through,

it will just take time. time may be on the side of the investigators, but the real worry is that nobody wants to see an attack like this in a country that has a strong and growing under belly of support for i.s. on monday a cafe popular with shiite was bombed. the attack was claimed by isil. the locals reported apparent appraisal attacks. the grand ayatollah delivered this message. >> translator: a few days ago we witnessed terrorist attacks on several mosques and houses of civilians. as we strongly condemn these attacks, we place full

responsibility on oh government security forces. >> reporter: after a week in which the flames of sectarianism were fanned was more, iraq's top shiite religious leader delivered a sermon, condemning the violence and laying blame at the feet of the government for not doing more to prevent these types of attacks. isil bombers targeted cafes frequentedly shiites. the next day started seeing tit-for-tat attacks. it has only gotten worse. there is a high sense of alert across this country, about sectarian lines deepening, and because of that, he decided to

address it in his sermon on friday. if this continues, if sectarianism gets worse, analysts worry that will effect iraq security forces fight against isil. iraq security forces trying to dislodge control of key towns in this country. iraq security forces still have to try to take back mow sol as well, and there have been clashes in and around the tikrit area. >> joining me on set is professor of history. you know the region very, very well. good to see you here. what do you first of all make of this intervention? >> well, it's not unusual for the grand ayatollah. he has on many occasions worked

against sectarian reprizals. in 2006 and 2007, when there was kind of a civil war, he withdrew from politics, because his advise was to standing down, and they wouldn't take it. >> will this make any difference on the ground? >> oh, i think he is putting enormous pressure on the prime minister. he is basically saying this is the government's business. the government should have prevented these shiite militiamen from engaging in reprisals, so the government has to step up. >> and these popular mobilization units were his calling in the first place? >> we did call for shiite volunteers to fight the islamic

state group. but i think he thinks they have gotten out of hand. they have gone world. they are not taking orders. >> they certainly seem to be acting with impunity, don't they? >> his call is for them not to be left with impunity, that the government should punish them for these actions. >> and is the government in a position to do so, given the complicated arena that there is in iraq right now? >> obviously it will take time. but ramadi operation was largely that of the iraqi military, the shiite militia were largely excluded from it, and so the military is showing that it can handle these situations. it can be rebuilt, and i think over time, he is insisting that these militias just can't be allowed to run wild. they have to be put under authority. >> what authority will the

government be able to put them under? given that they seem to be controlling themselves ls and doing what they want to do. >> well, they are a form of national guard. in most countries the national guard reports to the army chief of staff, ultimately. >> right, but in that sense how will they be stopped? >> you might have to deploy some of these units that fought against them if they don't settle down. because they are putting in question the whole operation of taking back iraq from the islamic state group. you want people in mosul to want the government to come into mosul, and if they behave the way they did before, nobody is going to want them there. >> the situation is complicated enough as it is, and it adds more of a problem for the government to try to resolve. >> well, the islamic state group has made its way in this matter.

it bombed the shiite militias. it bombed a cafe in order to provoke his reprisals. and he all along have been telling the iraqis, don't fall for it, it's a trick. it will go badly for you. and he has been right. >> what about the overall approach against isil right now? where do we stand? >> well, the operation was a success, and it was a success despite being mainly lead by the reconstituted iraqi army, and it is a model for what might happen in fallujah and mosul, but it does require -- and the sunni tribes people joined in the operation. that's what you need. you need sunni allies. so he is afraid that this kind of reprisal against sunni mosques is going to prevent the rise of sunni allies with the

iraqi government. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. the world food program has been told it killed 32 people. they have described terrible conditions in madaya, adding that its workers saw a teenager die of malnutrition. >> reporter: the bombs and guns come and go, but hunger has been constant for many in this town. now for the first time in months, people in madaya are getting outside help. truckloads are streaming in, although for me it's too late. community workers say hunger has killed more than 30 people in the past month. >> translator: when we entered madaya, we heard of children in need. we saw the cases ourselves, and hoped we could get them out of

madaya to be taken care of in our centers. >> reporter: that will require permission from the forces that cut off the town in the first place. fighters supporting bashar al-assad have controlled madaya for months. it's the same government that is now allowing foreign aid workers in. and what they found may be evidence of war crimes by both the government and by the rebels. >> we have seen the scenes that haunt us all. men women and children who are little more than skin and bones. so weak they could barely walk, and utterly desperate. >> reporter: here more trucks head to two villages this time held by rebel groups.

their people are also today to be starving. while there may be finally some relief from hunger, it's not clear whether those who let starve will ever be punishedful much nor still to come here on al jazeera, including -- >> who the hell knows if you can even serve in office. >> the gloves come off during the latest debate among u.s. republican rivals. and plunging oil prices drag stock market prices -- around the world lower. and we'll have sport coming up with jo. ♪ friday is the last day of campaigning ahead of taiwan's presidential election. the dpp is scene as a front runner against ruling chinese

nationalist party. scott heidler reports. >> reporter: since taiwan started electing its president 20 years ago, it has remained a two-party island. but now there is a new player. they call themselves the new force. one of the candidates is this heavy metal rocker. the party was born out of protests that become known as the sunflower movement, fronted by students to occupy parliament over a trade pact with china. the mpp isn't expected to come even close to the two main political parties, but with the opposition well positioned to take the presidency and control, it could lead to their favor. the dpp favors interest from taipei, not beijing. their candidate is the first

woman to be a front runner in a presidential election. >> i expect she will be happy to have us there, because there are some very conservative groups in this dpp as well, so we can try to balance the atmosphere in parliament. >> reporter: and that includes social issues, such as women's rights, same-sex marriage, and the plight of indigenous people. increasing numbers of chinese tourists are visiting taiwan after more than 20 agreements were signed over the last several years. some mainland tourists want relations to tighten even more. >> translator: the result will gradually effect china, taiwan relations, i hope taiwan can elect a new leader who is closer to china. >> translator: i think the

the kenyan defense forces. and they are said to have killed service defense forces, soldiers, and got away with ammuniti ammunitions. we are told they saw vehicles [ inaudible ] bodies, and also some forces running away from the scene. >> there seems to be some dispute about the number of solders killed. >> yes, al-shabab is claiming 63 killed. the government is not giving a number, but is saying that is pure propaganda. the president has spoken. he did not give a number also, but says the kenyan forces are ordered to pursue those who carried out the attack on the african union, and also presidents have been telling us that the gun ships belonging to the kenyan defense forces are carrying out an operation as we

speak. >> you mentioned that they made off -- al-shabab fighters made off with ammunitions. >> reporter: in the last two years they have attacked up to four bases. and now we're having alsha bop attacking the sennian forces. first of all they want to show despite losing territory in the rural areas, and also some of their strong holds. they are still a force to reckon with. and secondly, this is the best [ inaudible ] right now, because first of all they have lost most of their sources of revenue, but also they do not have access to ports. you know, their last strong hold was the place where they were using as a port to rearm. now they don't have that, and attacking african union and

somali government bases remains the biggest way to rearm. >> overall what is the current strength of al-shabab as far as we know? i guess it's difficult to say. but how well armed, equipped and manned are they? >> very -- well manned. the command structure is still intact. we don't know how many are still out there. because there has been some division with the leaders and the militiamen wanting to pay allegiance to isil instead of al-qaeda, and that creates a rift between them. we don't know how many of them are out there, but one thing for sure is that al-shabab is still a major fighting force. and the attack today is -- you

know, shows that -- that that's true. >> okay. mohamed thanks very much indeed. the united nations says it has documented cases of security forces in burundi gang raping women during searches. and reporting at least nine mass graves in and around the capitol. this includes one in a military camp said to contain the bodies of more than 100 people. violence has worsened in burundi since the president decided to run for a third term, a move opponents say was illegal. more than 400 have been killed and 200,000 others have fled the country. sierra leone's health ministry says a woman has died after testing positive for ebola. it is only a day since the world health organization declared the ebola epidemic to be over.

land to the government to build homes, but the government says these companies should play a greater role in social development. >> they don't realize it is a threat to their own business, so as soon as they come to the party, the mitigation is a risk for their own business. >> reporter: ht the government says not all minors are eligible for the free housing scheme, because they earn too much money. so tensions continue to build. all right. coming up in a few moments. >> reporter: i'm lawrence lee, this has turned into a new

dangerous for them, and the water is difficult. it could be rough weather and most people are not prepared for those kind of waters. >> reporter: this isn't the first time that the sound between denmark and sweden has been used as a people-smuggling route. during the second world war when copenhagen was occupied by the nazis, fishermen would take jews across to the safety of sweden. the now of course is because scandinavian countries have started to close their borders to refugees. most don't see them as heros, but as criminals who should be arrested. if the border patrols go on, then inflatable dingies may end up being the chose for refugees who want to see their families across the border.

going on, something akin to a natural disaster. >> and we have talked of this legionnaires' disease and how more than 80 people have been effected by that. but not clear whether that is related to the water supply. how does it kind of tie into things? >> reporter: well, that's a big mystery right now. ten people have been killed by legionnaires' disease, at least 87 are infected and there is suspicion that the water might be involved there. this is of course, flint, where that is the major issue going on right now, but when the government made the announcement that legionnaires' disease had been discovered, he also said it was not clear that the water was involved. and that could be a very serious problem going forward. >> right. the michigan governor has asked the president to declare a state

of emergency. is that likely to happen? and what difference would that make? >> reporter: it is very likely that president obama would agree. what happens in that case is federal money is released. that money would be used to rebuild the pipes in flint and help residents deal with the problems they have. it is said that the pipe problem could cost 1 billion to $1.5 billion to repair, and that is money that the city of flint simply does not have. this city was the center of the auto industry, and when general motors went away, that ended, and this city has been struggling for a decade since then. so it doesn't have the kind of money it needs. it absolutely needs the federal government to step in, and it is very likely that president obama will do that. >> all right. john thanks very much indeed for that update from the town of flint. let's get in some live
