>> only on al jazeera america. >> hello there, a warm welcome to the al jazeera news hour. i'm jane dutton in doha. the top stories, candidates are elected taiwan's first female president setting an uncertain course with china. the "washington post" journalist has been released from jail as part of a prisoner swap. and 23 people were killed in a

bur burkina faso attack. we have all your saturday's football news, and we go live to the country hosts it's biggest sporting event ever africaen nation championship. >> we go to taiwan the economy has been the main issues in the elections. >> this is the first step of reform. you're my backing of this reform on 20th of may the new

government will treat this as the most important task. reform will take a long time. it will not happen overnight. the spirit of democracy is part of the life's of taiwan's people. >> adrian brown joins me live from taipei. this is a big development for the country. this should give a sense of where she's going to go to from here as far as china is concerned? >> well, it will be another four months, jane, before the inauguration happens, which is a very long period from the end of the election until during that time she's going to work out who will be the new cabinet. who the ministers will be and crucially what minister will be the minister who talks directly to china in their cross straits relations. tonight i think she did her best

to appear both humble but also firm in her dress t address to the nation. she said that the election had clearly shown that the people of taiwan wanted a government that was steadfast in defending the territory. she said that she wanted relations with china that were predictable and sustainable. no more surprises, no more provocations. mutual respect. she appealed to china not to suppress' taiwan's identity. none of that will be particularly new to china. but of course the big question will be how will china respond in the coming days, weeks and months. for the past eight years relations between taiwan and the mainland has improved significantly. probably the best they've been in decades. partly because that's the approach that was taken by president ma, the outgoing president. he wanted to really make taiwan's economy more integrated with the mainland. he believed that the best way of

securing, shoring up taiwan's economy was to have stronger trade with china. did he that by signing up with 20 trade agreements. the problem is none of the prints came back to the people. the only people who benefited were the big considerations. that's really basically why the kmt lost out. now they have here, jane, been the dominant force in politics on this island ever since the forces of shanghai came here at the end of the chinese civil war. the new force is the dpp. their leader, she's 59 years old, single, an economist. she is a graduate from the london school of economics also cornell university in new york. she speaks fluent english, as i discovered myself when i had a snatched interview with her during her campaign a few days ago. when i asked how she would deal

with president xi jinping, she said communicate, communicate, communicate. she wants to keep the dialogue open. she wants to have stable relations with china. but it's quite clear that the how china responds to this election, jane, is going to define the future of relations between china and taiwan. i think we're on a very uncertain course. >> interesting, indeed. i wonder how people responded when she heard she had won, because she could, as you say, choose a different path from what we're used to. she's also the first woman. >> yes, exactly. when you hear--outside the streets are empty, as you can see, but earlier there were thousands of supporters. when it became clear that she had secured the presidency there was a mixture of emotions. there were people crying, people smiling. fireworks was going off. the band was playing "hope and

glory." i covered the presidential elections here 20 years ago when taiwan became a democracy. this was, without doubt, has been the most significant election since then. >> thank you for that, adrian brown. other news now iran says it has released the "washington post" journalist jason from the prison in tehran. he was taken into custody i in 2014, later convicted of spying. charges that state media denies. he was released in a swap where the u.s. will release seven iranian inmates. in july they would curb the nuclear program in exchange for sanctions release. the nuclear watchdog is based in

vienna due to reports on whether iran has honored that agreement. iran's foreign minister said he believes sanctions will be removed after the report is published. >> today's a day where we prove to the world that threats, sanctions intimidation, pressure don't work. respect works. true respect, through dialogue and negotiations we can impact mutually acceptable solutions. implement mutually acceptable solutions. and prove to the naysayers that they are always wrong and move towards a world in which diplomacy, not force, not pressure, will prevail. >> what are we expecting that iran has met the conditions imposed? >> well, all the signals we're get something that today is, in

fact, called implementation day. in other words, the day when the international. atomic energy agency comes through and says yes, we've done the due diligence, and we can now say that tehran has complied with the conditions that were set under the agreement of july last year. and the time has come now to implement the deal which would lead to the lifting of economic sanctions against iran. the freeing of iranian assets frozen overseas. and as the iranian foreign minister himself said that it would be a move that would remove a shadow--the shadow of what he prescribed as an unnecessary conflict overshadowing the region. he said it would be good news for the entire world. >> thanks for that, jackie. let's go over to our diplomatic editor james bays. he's standing live for us at the

u.n. in new york. we've got this nuclear deal, which is being discussed at the moment and the freeing. is there a link here? >> there is absolutely a language. thi think what it shows the fact that it looks like we have releases of the americans here we're noting was confirmed by the u.s. side is that they're hoping that this can go just beyond the nuclear deal. that they can have better relations between the two countries. the u.s. and iran in the future. they'd always said when they were around the negotiating

table that everyone was limited to trying to make iran's nuclear program peaceful and lifting the sanctions on the iranian side. that was always the official mantra of the negotiations. but we all knew that behind the scenes they wanted to get things like the release of the prisoners, but much bigger regional issues sorted. i think it's worth there, jane, reminding you of where we are. we are just a week away of what is supposed to be the date, january 25th for syrian peace talks getting all sides of the syrian war after nearly five years of conflict, over 300,000 people dead, getting them around the table. iran is a key player in that process. because it has perhaps more influence on the assad regime than anybody else. that's why i think you've seen even though we have not got implementation day we haven't got the formal announcement, but we're already seeing a meeting between john kerry and iranian

counterpart and i suspect yes they're looking back at their success in the iran deal. they're talking about this prisoner release and perhaps a prisoner swap if america releases prisoner. but they're looking forward to syrian talks. one tweet which came from the iranian minister. it's now time for muslim nations to join hands and rid the world of extremism. and iran is ready. there is the next step about to take place. >> an important new relationship, isn't it. not to mention the impact if sanctions are lifted on what it could mean for oil prices. not only for iran but across the world. >> absolutely. the oil price at a low. a real low. that is worrying world economies. i don't think even though this may an day that some see as a good day for diplomacy, i don't think this is a good day economically in the short term because iran's oil assuming we

get implement case day and we get that final bill of health from the authorities saying that iran has complied with everything, then the sanctions are lifted. the money that iran had it's frozen assets, they'll be free. but also iran can put its oil back on the oil market. that probably means that the oil price is going to fall even further. >> thank you. as many as 150 hostages are freed from a hold in burkina father sow's capital after an an attack. at least 23 people were killed. >> the capital of the seen gunfire running out throughout the night as explosions were heard from inside. mass gunmen stormed the hotel

popular with foreigners and diplomats on friday evening. they set fire to the cafe across the street. >> it was horrible because everyone was panicking. people were lying on the ground, and there was blood everywhere. they were shooting people at point blank range and the explosion was really loud. honestly, it was traumatizing. i think these people are really wicked. >> french troops have called in security forces to are retake the hold. many were shot and are now receiving treatment at hospital. >> we did our best to try to get out. she shot me in the arm and i have an open fracture. they destroyed my vehicle as well. >> the regional affiliate call called al-qaeda behind the assault. this is the first attack of its

find in burkina faso's capital. the president was elected two months ago as burkina faso's first new leader in decades. how he deals with this crisis is seen as his first big test in obvious--in office. >> we would like to salute the response of the security forces, a the red cross and the doctors and nurses that responded to this emergency. >> the challenge for him now will be to come up with a long-term plan to tackle those armed groups. al jazeera. >> now, the group that claimed responsibility for the attack al-qaeda and the islamic magrib has been active in northern and central africa. it was the first assault coordinated between al-qaeda

and islamic maghreb. we explain the growing danger of the groups like this. >> operating to insure that they can strike anywhere in africa, especially in west africa, and also they realize that africa is really the soft spot, the center of terrorism in the world because you don't have a government that can reach to many regions. there are so many normal and coming into africa at this moment and creating this

disrupted attention of the african government. they need to not talk about the security challenges. so in fact africa has become the new playing ground for these forces. they know they can do well in a systemic approach because they know through conventional war they would not be winning. they have been able to dip in convention in the force there is, but now with the approach striking in places where you have citizens like hotel they can make sure that they have a role to play so that the people are in charge of the government, take this in account, and

consider them as interlocutors. >> still ahead on the al jazeera news hour. >> i'm caroline malone with the story of syrian students trying to get an education, and why they nearly outnumber the lebanese students. >> an economic emergency is announced in venezuela as the president faces an hostile congress. and south africa's cricketers are broadsided in the third test. >> security forces in iraq are getting ready to enter the neighborhood that they say is the last stronghold in ramadi. we're monitoring development developments in baghdad. >> in the battle to retake the city of ramadi from isil fighters now advancing to the

eastern side of the city the last stronghold of isil fight necessary ramadi. in the past few weeks security forces were able to take the center of the city, that government complex. now they're trying to encircle this part of the city. we're told they're shelling the area, there are air raids and they're attempting to ferry residents and families who are stuck in that area to safety if this part of the city is, indeed, cleared of isil fighters it will have been a significant development for iraqi security forces. they say they're confident they will be able to do so to retake control of the entirety of the ramadi very soon. it remains to be seen how soon that will be. it is worth noting even if ramadi is fully once again under the control of iraqi security forces there are still other parts of anbar province in which isil fighters are still there.

>> refugees have been rescued off the greek island, volunteers from a maltese-based aid group picked up 20 people who were attempting to cross in a rubber dinghy. in average a thousand people are arriving every day despite cold weather, wind, and treacherous seas. getting kids in schools can be a major challenge. we report from northeast leban lebanon. >> the size of students has more than doubled in the last three years. 500 syrian students are enrolled in the syrian school. children with one lebanon piece parent are taught in the morning and syrians in the afternoon. >> at first it was a shock moving here and leaving my country. we had to get used to it.

>> they're taught the lebanese curriculum. some to topics are caught--taugt in arabic and some topics are taught in english. that has been a shock for syrian students. >> they are not knowing how to speak english so they are not knowing how to explain. >> officials are trying to get them in school. in public school classrooms like this one there are nearly as many syrian students as lebanese but there are many other syrians who are not getting education, putting an already uncertain future into jeopardy. >> there are still thousands of lebanese children who are not

registered in school. and some of the syrians registered at school don't turn up because they can't afford to pay for the school bus. >> education is the key to a better life. it's our duty to keep them in schools and add another shift. the education ministry helped in making this process easier for them. and our duty is to treat each lebanese and syrian equally. >> the students may be treated equally, but the staff have noticed just how hard the syrian students study. >> yes, i'm first in my class. i have to study really hard. the teachers are really good here. they help me get there. as you know, it's a public school, and in lebanon it's mostly private schools. anyone who wants to study whether public or private will make it. >> she's one of the many syrian refugee students who realize they have an opportunity to help themselves. while many get to school. caroline malone, al jazeera, northeast lebanon.

>> venezuela's president said that the state of the country's finance justifies the declaration of economic emergency. it gives nicolás maduro's socialist government more powers to enact reforms. they say it is maduro's own policies that have caused the crisis. we have reports from caracas. >> friday was a day of unusual announcements in venezuela. while president nicolás maduro delivered the state of the union address, for the first time in 17 years since his predecessors hugo chavez rose to power, he's faced with great political and economic pressure. >> we arrived whereby future of the constitution in the democracy of full liberty, they have conquered the majority and is here today.

>> hours before the oi oil-dependent country has declared itself to be in crisis. >> i declare article one, an economic state of emergency to the constitution of venezuela and it's judicial order. >> with the world cheapest petrol, the measures the government takes could see a radical reform of an economic system that many see as having failed. and yet it was a disclosure for the first time in a year by the central bank that venezuela's inflation rate was 141%, which shows how much the economy a hurting. the government said it will take measures that will help and not hinder people. but many living in the country with the world's highest inflation are afraid that no measure will be enough to recover the economy. in the living room of this

middle class family, words are met with disbelief by a viewer who said they have seen it all before. >> it has become really bad. and it's only going to get worse. he doesn't offer anything concrete. >> because of the economy we would lik--that relyies become entirely on oil, the $30 a barrel tightens the news around the south american's nation. president nicolás maduro may be faced with a year of frequent and unpopular announcements. >> france has launched an investigation into a drug trial that has left one man brain dead and five others critically ill. the total of 90 healthy volunteers were given the painkiller. research on the drug has been suspended.

>> it was a clinical trial that went badly wrong. now with one clinically brain dead and others in hospital, there is an investigation. >> the families are devastate: we'll make sure that they're given all the answers particularly as right now i'm not aware of any comparable case. what has happened is unprecedented and requires the greatest possible vigilance. >> the drug is being tried at this clinic income western france. it was meant to deal with pain. the condition of the other patients got worse over the first few days of the week and today four of the five other patients have neurological problems of varying gravity. one patient did not have any symptoms but of course is under intense surveillance. >> a lawyer for the victims say there was clearly some kind of error or over sight.

>> coming in 2016 with all the means we have, such an accident can still happen. at this moment i have unfortunately no idea. a has there been human error? i can't believe in coincidence of circumstances. >> other people got smaller doses of the substance and they're being asked to undergo a brain scam to make sure they've not been harmed. >> more still to come on al jazeera. can a legal change help get life-saving drugs into the hands of south africans who desperately need them. plus... >> i'm in india where the government is nuclearing start ups like this one to grow the economy and create millions of jobs in the next decades. >> and we hear from serena williams as the six-time australian open champion prepares to defend her title in melbourne. that's coming up in sport.

>> understanding the epidemic. >> it was terrifying. >> it's like navigating a minefield. >> go inside the new medical breakthrough. >> you had quite a reaction there. >> that's crazy. >> i really feel my life changing. >> the freedom is unbelievable. >> techknow's team of experts show you how the miracles of science... >> this is what innovation looks like. >> ...can affect and surpise us. >> i feel like we're making an impact. >> let's do it. >> techknow, where technology meets humanity... >> only on al jazeera america. >> hello again. the top stories on al jazeera. taiwan's top candidate tsai

ing-wen has claimed victory. jason rezaian has been released and the u.s. will release seven iranian inmates. and iran said it has confidence international sanctions will be lifted this weekend. the foreign minister has met with u.s. and european top implement diplomats as iran implements the nuclear deal. what has been the response there, roslind? >> well, there isn't any official comment yet from the u.s. government, and a spokesperson for the "washington post," which employs jason rezaian, they have no not received any word that rezaian

has been released. he was arrested along with his wife and a couple other people. they were very quickly released. rezaian was accused of being a spy and was convicted in a secret trial. his family said that he has been losing weight, suffering the ill effects of detention, and torturous questioning by the iranian authorities. there also has been a lot of pressure to try to get him released as part of the ongoing nuclear talks. but up until now the u.s. government has not said, jane, that it was trying to link the status of jason rezaian and other americans who have been in iranian detention with the nuclear negotiations. they've been trying very hard to keep that all separate. >> very extraordinary that this is happening on the same day as we wait to here if iran has complied with the conditions regarding the nuclear talks. what are we expecting now? what is the over all impact of

what's been happening today? >> well, certainly there are a lot of questions already being raised about whether if, indeed, the iaea certifies iran's behavior, and whether that could mean closer ties between washington and tehran, perhaps a resumption of diplomatic ties. the ties that of course were broken off back in 1980 after the takeover of the u.s. embassy and the holding of u.s. embassy employing for 444 days. the u.s. government said that it's not looking forward to any sort of normalization. it still considers iran a state sponsor of terror. it still has considerable number of people and entities in iran sanctioned for their behavior as it regards hezbollah as regards supporting other groups that are engaged in what the u.s. calls terroristic behavior.

there really isn't the political appetite in this country to see closer ties, at least as far as we get away from washington. that's because people here still have long memories about the hostage siege at the u.s. embassy. >> thank you for that, roslind jordan. women in brazil have been urged to post bon postpone pregnancy because of a mosquito-spread disease. >> the corridors of this public hospital in northeastern brazil are full of distraught mothers holding babies with one thing in common. [ babies crying ] >> they were born with noticebly smaller kid heads. it has reached epidemic

proportions in brazil. researchers say that they believe the cause is a virus new to brazil calls sika spread by the same mosquito that carries dengue fever. >> i was shocked when i found out. she is my first baby and this was not heard of in brazil until now. >> the state of emergency has been declared and where the army has been called out to combat the disease-carrying mosquitoes. in the rainy season and even the

smallest amount of still-clean water, the virus is spreading not just to brazil but throughout south and central america. in fact, disease control experts predict that within three months sika will have reached texas. there is no cure for the virus. terrifying pregnant women. >> i asked the doctor if what i heard was true. the three and a half month old baby, the precautions are too late. his sister dotes on him while his mother worries about how she will take care of a child who will be seriously handicapped. >> my only choice is to go back to work, but daycare centers say they will not take on a baby

with encephalitis, it's too much work. >> the government is warning women to refrain from getting pregnant as it struggles with an epidemic that is just beginning. >> the assistant professor at the department o the university of texas. sika is making its way to texas. it could be there in three months. are you expecting this? >> as you know we already have had two cases here in texas. so it's a matter of time before the virus comes here. >> tell us what you know about the virus and why it's spreading so quickly.

>> we really don't know much about the virus. it's been around for quite some time. it can cause severe epidemics in micronesia, polynesia, easter island and brazil. we don't know what has had happened to the virus that it has become more virtualent. but not only in mosquitoes, but humans who have been infected with the mosquitoes. >> frightening that there is no cure at this stage. >> no, we do not have a vaccine against this. >> brazil is suggesting that women should not fall pregnant. is that what should be done? is this key to putting a stop to this? what else can people do to prevent it from happening to them? >> well, it's a precaution.

but you know, there are a lot of things. first of all, we need to reduce the density of mosquitoes. that would take a sustainable control program. in addition to that, i would advise that installment of screens in the windows occur. the other thing is we need to change our lifestyle. where long pants, long sleeves clothes, and liberal administration of mosquito repellent. >> yes, right, thank you for helping us understand that a little bit more. >> thank you. activists in south africa want government to speed up legislation providing poor patient access to generic drugs. we look at the struggles faced by cancer patients. >> this woman has breast cancer.

she said doctors at the hospital close by can't help her. >> they don't have the medication. according to the association of stanks, more than 100000 south africans are diagnosed with cancer every year. facilities around the country can't manage the numbers. this is the nearest hospital in the area, but it does not have an oncology department. cancer patients have to go all the way to johannesburg to get the drug, but not every hospital has them. >> that is partly because drugs in south africa are often expensive, and state-run hospitals have no or limited supplies. >> how many women and men out there die meanwhile they could have had helped, and they couldn't. it was the only drug that could have prolonged their life. >> countries like india and

argentina limit the number of drug patents that are brought in, but south africa has yet to do that. >> the drugs coming in from international drug companies who want to protect their patents in this country. it means that south african-based companies, which are mainly generic companies, can't come to the market on those drugs for a longer period of time because they're waiting for the patents to end. >> they're working on the laws. the issue is agreeing. >> there are some other issues which would not benefit pharmaceutical companies, although it would benefit the generic industry. so i think a lot more attention has to be given to those policies, especially the wording, and so that there is no incoherent understanding that

comes from it. >> cancer patients hope an agreement can be reached quickly. they need affordable drugs that could save or pro long their lives. al jazeera south africa. >> nepal struggles to recover from the devastating earthquake last april, the task has been made harder by neighboring india. it haul has to do with nepal's new constitution. the black market that is supplying essentials to the people. >> it's early morning in kathmandu. these people have traveled long distances. almost every bus has several containers full of fuel, petrol, diesel and cooking gas that would be sold in the city illegally. >> we have to buy from the black market. can the government stop us? the police are right there in

the police station. >> imports have been limited because there have been protests against nepal's constitution that have blocked roads. only the half of the required amount of fuel is coming through the country. to get petrol from this pump you have to get an official letter from the direct authority. >> the black market price is three times the amount. the cost of cooking gas is around $80. which is seven times the government price. for those with enough money and the right context the black market finds a way out of the cries. >> we found a person willing to take us to a village near the indian border. that's where most of the black market fuel is coming through. the journey takes us 12 hours overnight. our source does not want to show his face.

>> we pay up to $200 to policemen on the way. they tell us to be discrete. sometimes they tell us to put money under the fence or between papers these activities are normal. >> we arrive and notice that almost every house has become a fuel shop. people from across the border in india come to sell fuel, each carrying 300 liters, which are stored in these barrels and sent across nepal. and an estimated $10 million worth of fuel is sold through the black market every month. >> the government should subsidize the fuel for the people or it shouldn't make it difficult for those transporting fuel into the country. the government needs to get fuel from wherever possible. >> by the end of the day a lot of money has exchanged hands. many worry about the future if

this crisis continues. but for those with a chance to cash in it's a golden opportunity. al jazeera, kathmandu. >> u.s. president barack obama has called mexican leader president enrique peña nieto h to praise him for the capture of joachim el chapo guzman. the raids on home of people due for deportation. it's broken up families and caused fear. >> in a meeting immigrants turned up to learn their rights. fear was spreading along with word that federal officials have been conducting deportation raids across the country forcing advocates for the undocumented

to act. >> my phone started going off the office. it's been nonstop. the social media the organization, it's been nonstop. that means that the fear has grown. >> this woman does not want to show her face. she and her three children watched her husband be arrested last summer as he left home for work. he's still in detention. news of the raids has them worried that she'll be next. >> i told the kids to stay calm, that everything will be okay. but now they're afraid. they're afraid to open the door if someone shows up. >> according to the obama administration, the raids are aimed at the wave of people who crossed the southwest border into the united states illegally in 2014 and 2015. many after fleeing violence in central america. >> we're seeking to deport felons not break apart families. >> the administration says it's rounding up people who have already been processed by immigration court and found ineligible to stay.

it points out that the president took executive action to shield 700,000 young people from deportation. the obama administration has long faced criticism from the republican party for being to easy on illegal immigration. now the president is getting it from the democrats as well calling the deporter in chief. the mayor has announced that the city will no longer cooperate with federal enforcement immigration officials. the mayor said that we are not safe in any city when the people, whether documented or not, are fearful of the police. >> immigration advocates are lobbying members of congress and presidential candidates who also criticized the raid. >> i think the democratic party has lost faith from the latino community when they go after women and children and they say

they're foyer immigration. it doesn't make any sense. >> advocates continue to call for immigration reform and warn the undocumented not to answer the door. al jazeera, pennsylvania. >> lots more coming up, including it is getting tight at the top of the english premier league standings. jo has the latest in sport.

businesses. the aim is to encourage young people who are shunning traditional jobs. in the reports obstacles remain. >> this high-end store is a success story. within a few short years it has more than a dozen locations in and around india's cities. but as with any new venture it was not easy. it's especially difficult in india where a notoriously slow bureaucracy can stop new ventures before they can start. >> as with any start up, the kind of resources you have are very important. you want productive work. >> the government is lodging it's start up india program to encourage and promote new businesses something that entrepreneurs have been waiting a long time for. tax incentives are among the

main goals that the government hopes to address so that securing investments and growing their business is easier. and simply encouraging and promoting start ups in india may be enough in itself to give the sector a boost. >> entrepreneurs say people's mindsets about start ups are changing, adding it's a different environment now than it was when he set up his first business 12 years ago. >> the biggest difference i've seen is wher cultural where people are accepting it more, when i started out no one would take me seriously. but now customers expect a lot from start ups. >> promoting start-up businesses in india is important. >> the private sector, this gap

has brought start ups. >> back at the chai shop, they hope that the new laws will encourage growth. >> in rwanda the hosts have kicked off the african nation championship with victory. it's the biggest sporting event ever held in the country. they got the challenge up and running with the 1-0 win. andy richardson joins us live. great start for the hosts. they must be confident of their chances now in this sandstorm.

>> yes, remember, this is a country without a great history of any football event, cup of nations they qualified once and then they were knocked out in the group stage. five points should be enough to get through the knock out rounds. they're more than halfway there. this is a notoriously difficult pick. the african champions, that team had almost all of its players based abroad, and this is completely different. they're very hard to predict. countries which have strong domestic leagues also zambia,

they have got a couple of players in that squad, including the captain, so she should be a team to look out for as well. >> how important is it to be holding such a big sporting tournament? >> they have in the past posted age group from the event in the understand 17 championships but nothing of this standard. well beyond sport talking to players, fans, officials internationally they say that to rwanda is still associated with the genocide, the awful events of 1994. the hope by having a positive platform like this they can show the world they have moved on rwanda is safe, and they're more than capable of hosting international sporting events. >> what impact has it had since established in 2009?

>> it really is beginning to emerge from its own identity in the cup of nations. the cup of nations with 90 players involved were base abroad and many of them never even played in the domestic league because of the academy system in africa. but this shows african football, and it's about much more than just being a staging post for players to move on to contracts in europe and beyond. as far as rwanda is concerned they're hoping by hosting this event they hope one day in the future they could be intrusted with the cup of nations. >> andy richardson for us live from the african nation's championship. tottenham has tightened their grip. they beat sunderland 4-1.
