>> defense secretary ash carter meets to plan the next steps in fighting i.s.i.l. economic anxiety. the corporate and political elite are meeting in davo switzerland against a backdrop of plunging stock market and oil price he. nasa and noaa determine 2015 was the hottest year on record, what that means for the future. good evening, i'm antonio mora, this is al jazeera america's international news hour. we begin tonight in northwestern pakistan where gunmen stormed a university killing 20 people mostly students and teachers including one who fired back at the attackers allowing some students to escape, military killed the four gunmen in the

hours long battle. pakistani prime minister nowaz sleef. the white house joined sharif in condemning the attack. al jazeera's victoria gatenby has the story including why part of the taliban is distancing itself from today's events. >> reporter: the students who survived the attack are recovering in hospital. some came face to face with the men who tried to kill him. >> translator: i was sitting in class when the firing started, we ran upstairs to the third floor of the office, i came in and the terrorists opened fire at me. i ran upstairs then fell unconscious. >> armed men stormed the building and opened fire at students and staff. the attack was apparently timed to cause maximum devastation. 600 guests were visiting the

campus to mark the anniversary of the death of the man the university is named after, he was the founder of a liberal antitaliban political party. the pakistani army is investigating the attack and says it has identified some of the men through evidence found at the scene. >> translator: we recovered two cell phones, telephone calls were made among the terrorists, the voice recordings are listened to and analyzed and an intelligence figure has been formed of the terrorists. >> pakhtunkhwa university, pakistani taliban says it is not behind this assault and has discredited the group that claimed responsibility. ffers. >> the terrorists have carried out an act of cowardice which

killed many of them but some are still on the run. they attacked a soft target, a university. i've spoken to some of the students. they are determined to continue their education. >> reporter: attacks by fighters affiliated with the pakistani taliban have declined over the past year, that's in part because of the increase in military operations and the pakistani government's determination to shut down the source of funding. but there are some who are committed to continuing the chaos, victoria gatenby, al jazeera. >> fred burton is vice president of a security firm, fred, always good to see you. i'd like to start with a big picture question. we're seeing a significant terrorist attack somewhere in the world every other day it seems. is the so-called global war on terror failing? >> i think it depends on how you define success. when you look at this at a tempo

perspective of the horrific attack of the university in pakistan, this is an example of a tempo attack on a soft target and very easy to pull off, like we saw from san bernardino to pakistan, these aren't complex attacks. all you need is willing participants with access to automatic weapons and explosives and you're goo good to go. >> in today' today's terrifying, we see differing claims, claimed it was behind this attack as well but a spokesman for central organization condemned the attack. what do you think is going on? >> well, i think it's hard to make sense of. there's so many different frawrts anfractures and layers,a very complex situation with different kinds of loyalties, depending upon the day. what i find very curious is

about a month ago, four of the suspects that were linked to the attack last year which killed over 100 students at a school, the four suspects were hung. so was this just simple vengeance or retribution for the hanging of the four taliban for carrying out the past attack? we simply don't know at this stage. >> could it also be a backlash to the fact that pakistan has apparently increased its military operations against the pakistani taliban would it show strength against the taliban or could it be more of a desperation attack that shows weakness? >> they are trying to make themselves relevant but at an extreme measure of killing these innocent kids at schools. when i look at this in perspective, i think the pakistanis need to do a better job in protecting their universities in some of these outlying areas. when you look at the response it was just too late and that's

part of the problem too. most of these incidents are over and this one dragged on for quite some time. >> and there was a backlash, a big one after the other school attack and this is another case of muslims massacring muslims. at what point will we reach a tipping point, outrage where people will really revolt against these groups? >> i've been in this business a long time and i'm not optimistic that that will stop i'm afraid. >> pakistan and its intelligence service isi, you have dealt with the isi, which is often accused of being duplicitous, it allowed bin laden to be there. and pakistan has suffered a series of attacks over the years. >> that was an interesting situation, i was on the plane crash will killed president zia

and our united states ambassador and a whole range of attacks for the years. so when you are looking at the isi you are looking at a government within the institution and it's very difficult to police the police. >> and talking about duplicity, pakistan has been soft on the afghan taliban, accused of supporting it. is that part of the problem? >> it very well could be but it's a very complex issue and you get back to your counterintelligence threat not only within the isi and the police services as well as the different diplomatic corps that's engaged on a dave day day basis. it is a difficult situation to get your arms around. >> always good to talk to you. thank you. >> thank you for having me. in afghanistan, a taliban suicide bomber killed seven

to capture and hold territory. part of the strategy is to target i.s.i.l.'s logistics and resources and that includes oil. these images from the british defense ministry apparently show jets targeting oil facilities controlled by i.s.i.l. in eastern syria and western leaders also need to counter i.s.i.l.'s message. >> translator: its resilience should strengthen our action. we should keep fighting this organization on all fronts. we'll root them out on the ground and in people's minds. >> reporter: when it comes to the fighting on the ground the coalition depends almost entirely on local iraqi or syrian forces. several countries are providing them with training but there's no talk of putting their own boots on the ground. >> we are as jean is yves yves

indicated, the only practical approach not only defeating i.s.i.l. but also sustaining its defeat thereafter. >> reporter: it was a large gathering, nevertheless there was some notable absences from the table. russia carrying out its own air strikes in syria and turkey that serves as a route for i.s.i.l. supplies. >> we saw this coalition already, in afghanistan and i don't think was hugely successful in afghanistan. the second main reservation is two important partners are missing, turkey and russia, there's a huge role between turkey and russia. >> i.s.i.l. is gaining strength in libya and has extended its reach further into africa and europe. i.s.i.l. is not a conventional

enemy and this is not a conventional war. the battle lines keep shifting sometimes even to the heart of western capitals. another meeting will be called in three weeks' time bringing together a much larger group of coalition members. a tacit acknowledgment that i.s.i.l. is proving more tenacious than expected. jacky rowland, al jazeera, paris. >> u.s. troops have taken control of an i air field in syria according the a spokesman for american supported rebels. the pentagon would not comment. the air field is in the northeast close to the borders of iraq and turkey. this was previously controlled by ypg. gave the u.s. the air base for weapons delivery. iraqi prime minister haider al-abadi vowed to go against those sowin sowing said ition.

low. >> translator: in diyalla there has been many retaliations, the government is not able to control the initial action or the reaction. >> as it battles i.s.i.l. and confronts a growing humanitarian crisis, iraq's security and government are stretched very thin. the threat of rising sectarian violence already makes a volatile situation that much more dire. mohammed jamjoom, al jazeera. >> the oldest christian monday industry in iraq was reduced to rebel, the monastery was preserved for 1400 years. the search for three

reckons we're out of ammunition to fight for down turns. now time for secretary-general for new thinking. >> they have run out of ammunition because they have been the heroes of the last four or five years. now it's a time for the finance ministers for trade ministers for the environment ministers for the environment ministers for education ministers it's a time to go structural, it's a time to go green, institutionalist, it is a time to do all the structural measures that we did not take. >> but is it too late? markets and currencies are already crashing. and here in europe, where the brakes were so strongly applied, there was a real struggle to get moving again. >> i think we should have worked harder particularly in europe but elsewhere to cut debt, to restructure debt more strictly than we did and boosting demand

more strongly at once, introduced austerity too soon in the u.k. so we don't get any momentum. >> so the talks go on. what do we do now? opinions are as abundant as the snow. committed to improving the state of the world, when they feel it's a bunch of rich people in a ski resort in winter. getting them talking that includes those who might be struggling shall we say with international development. think russia, it's gotten involved in the war on syria, fallen out with turkey, and finding economic partners is a rough business. >> hillary clinton and donald trump mentioned that russia should be treated with respect.

renoir, and others. >> they are in a relatively good condition, some of them dirty but not damaged. >> the greatest find of art stolen 50 nazis in 1945. >> the people that deal with these kind of art, would all be fighting with each other like ferrets in a sack. if it knocks the value and prices down of others they have. >> museum curator and one of hit lers's art dealers. under hitler jewish collectors were either forced to sell their art at ridiculously low prices or abandon their art when fleeing the nazis. now all these years later, the relatives want their artwork

back. but approving is well nigh impossible. >> they may have difficulty doing that. they may not have the original records. >> cornelius died in 2014, in his will he left the collection to a museum. he is quoted as saying losing his paintings was worse than when his mother and father died and he considered himself to be a steward for their safekeeping. john terret, al jazeera. >> katherine hickley, joins us from berlin. katherine it's anth credible story, works by monet, degas, chagal, how could that remain

hidden for so long? especially since cornelius sold some to survive. was there complicity within the art community? >> there were some who knew he had an art collection. whether they knew the dimension and what exactly he had, was another question. it wasn't widely known that's for sure. and the fact that he kept all of this incredible art secret in his apartment and in his home really was possible because he was such a recluse, he was cut off from the real world. in his own world, it was easy to keep the rest of the world out and stay at home with his collection. >> fascinating in its own right but how his father hildebrand amassed the collection, and then managed to keep it even after being detained by the allies,

defies belief. >> yes, hildebrand is a very interesting very ambivalent, very contradictory character. and it was him who i found particularly fascinating while i was doing the research for this book. he became a museum director at the age of 25 in svitkow which was extremely young and while he was there he managed to start acquiring these artworks for the museum and then he became a dealer later on i in hamburg and he started working for nazis, he was selling the degenerate art, that they had seized from all the museums across germany. and he became hitler's number 1 dealer in paris buying arts for his fueeher museum.

became increasingly explicit and bought from juice, who needed to emigrate and needed money. seized from juice already confiscated and made a lot of compromises within his integrity. remember he himself was a quarter jewish so this was definitely a huge contradiction. >> now, i've seen estimates that about 500 of the works were illegally in the family's possession as you said, likely confiscated from victims of the nazis. but couldn't the argument be made that even the artwork purchased by him should be returned because they were acquired under duress? >> yes, but those are definitely

included in that 500. and the 500 artworks are works where it cannot be ruled out that they are -- they were looted by the nazis. the other artworks in the collection it can all be ruled out in one level or another. still 500 artworks is a lot and to do the provenance, takes a massive amount of time a massive number. >> a few paintings have been returned to the families that own them. do you expect that we will see more? >> do i expect we will see more, yes. but it's a long and unwieldy process, it's all taking longer than it should and in other cases there are artworks where there's clear signs that it was looted but the actual original owner needs to be identified. so i'm sure there will be many more returns. >> while all the legalities are decided, shouldn't all these be

displayed together, wouldn't that be useful from a historic perspective to tell one more story of what happened under the nazis? >> that is actually the plan. the german cultural director, monica gritters would like to display the network as soon as the challenges are cleared up. there is a challenge to cornelius's will, he left the entire collection to the museum in berne. but there's challenge that he was not of fit mind to make a will. until there's a decision the artworks are all in this storage warehouse outside munich, a specialist art storage place and no one can see them. >> is there any sense of how much more nazi looted art may still remain hidden somewhere? >> no. it's impossible to say.

part of the problem is that a lot of artworks, a lot of the thousands and thousands of artworks disappeared during the war may have been destroyed. it is impossible to know whether they were destroyed or whether they were stolen and they're still circulating still in the art market or in someone's attic somewhere. all we can say with certainty is there are hundreds of thousands of pieces that are still missing and more will probably emerge at some point in the future. >> katherine hickley, again the book is the munich art hoard. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. proposing moving swastikas, ancient symbol known as mongis, the nazis later adopted it and
