following a police raidfired related to last year's deadly attacks in paris. >> hello. this is al jazeera live from london. also coming up. russia beginning pulling out it's military from syria as talks on how to end the conflict make progress. >> heavy fighting and government forces launch a campaign to recapture yemen third largest city. a new report from ohio the mid western swing state that

the candidates winded up in the white house ever time since 1964. >> and we meet the people behind the bear story. the first story to win an academy award. >> . >> four police officers have been wounded in a shooting in the capital brussells and a suspect quote neutralized according to local media. a shoot out happened during a raid linked to the investigation into the paris attacks in november, which left 130 dead, and hundreds injured. jackie roland reports. >> the investigation into the paris attacks has once again come to brussells. in a joint operation, police units from france and belgium surrounded a building in the forest district. just south of the main railway station. gunman inside opened fire on them with automatic weapons.

>> shots were fired this afternoon, is there there were two people hiding in a building, security perimeter was set up by the police, and many security portions arrived operations are still on going. the prosecutor says four police officers were wounded three were injured in the initial operation, a fourth was caught in gunfire as more security forces moved in. witnesses say they saw two suspects escape over the roof tops. >> we are all shocks because usually it is calm in h this area. there have never been acts of terrorism here. it surprised me. i don't know if any terrorist ins this area. it may be something else. >> the main suspect wanted in h the paris attacks is till on the run, but it is understood that he was not the target of this raid. it is now four months since

attackers killed 130 people in paris and injuries 300 others. and also afterwards. in particular, how one of the presumed attackers was able to escape from paris to brussells and then apparently to disappear. jackie joins us arrive now, jackie, are we getting a clearer picture of what is happening in buts selling? >> not rally a clearer picture, no the, i mean -- the reports we are getting do suggest there may have been a certain amount of confusion at one stage. since as i mentioned in my report, a fourth police officer was injured in gunfire, when other security forces arrived as back up to the scene. in terms of information we can give you, the prosecutor has confirmed that one suspect has been killed. and he also said that suspect was not as i mentioned in my

report. he was not apparently the target of this raid. but if that's the case, we still understand that there are at least one suspect who is still on the run, because initially we heard reports that two suspects have been inside the building. and if one has been killed that's at least one who is still on the run, and who knows there could also be others involved because one thing we have learned during this on going investigations is just how wide the net of people involved the support logistics or financing a capacity, and how large that network of people connected with the paris attacks was. tell us more about the link between the police raid and the pearce attacks in november? >> i think it is significant that the raid took place in brussells. this is by far the first time that we have -- from the first time we have seen raids taking place in the belgium capital. what was different is this is not the typical neighborhood where we have in the past

seen police operations. notably in the past it's been in the district, and the neighborhood that is known to have a large population, certainly directly after the paris attacks. there were operations there and because police knew police learned fairly quickly as they started to gather identities of the attackers those who were killed on that friday night, in paris, either shot by police owe blew themselves up there with very clear links between buts sells and paris. the fact that the attackers were belgium. some lives in paris, and the three cars used in the attacks were hired from an agency in brussells so clearly, that paris brussells access has been very important, and i think it is significant today that this is a joint operation carries out on tuesday by belgium forces. i think trying to send a clear message that this is close car nation now where in the past there has been criticism about what has been seen as shortcomings in

sharing of intelligence in this investigation. >> all right, thank you very much. following developments for us in brussells. the u.s. secretary of state john kerry will travel to russia to meet with vladimir putin. russianar planes begin their withdrawal from the country. bombers have already started arriving back on russian soil. the pilots were cheered by ground crew and supporters, but some 80 will stay at the air base in syria, and continue bombing missions russian helicopters bombed isil positions on tuesday. thousands of russian troops are also expected to remain. the decision to pull out comes as a government delegation and the opposition meet to try to end the war, tuesday marks exactly five years since the conflict

began. so car a parter of a million people have been killed. in the past few hours the u.n. special envoy has finished a meeting with the syrian opposition delegation in geneva, the withdrawal would have a significant impact on the u.n. backs talks we have considered this a significant i repeat a significant development, and now we hope, and we shall be expecting and hoping that will be happening that we will be seeing this decision bringing some positive influences on the actual progress of the talks. that are in fact taking place. it is not a coincidence, or at least we should not consider it a coincidence, that that decision to place at the very beginning of the syrian talks and that the political impact that we hope they will be producing.

>> spokesman for the syrian opposition high negotiations committee says the regime must be willing to address the issue of detainees in these talks. we are waiting to see a mechanism that will start addressing effectively the issue of detainees it is not anish chew that can be treated today in, a week, a month, or six months given that we estimate that there are daily executions of detainees of some 50 detainees every day in the different prisons of syria. >> james bays has been following these events for us and brings us the latest. >> the u.n. special envoy spoke after his first meeting in this round of talks with the high negotiations committee, that's the opposition block he spoke about the decision of the russians to start pulling out their troops from syria, he saw that as a positive

development, he revealed among those on his team, he has consultants from all over the world he wants an american to join his team as well, so give this an extra bit of effort, at a time when he says the peace process has a great deal deet of momentum. he also revealed that not only have the government presented their proposals an ate poet plan, he also now had written proposals coming from the other side, from the syrian opposition, one thing they wanted to focus on in their meeting was the whole issue of detainees they say it is an urgent issue. they say 50 ritners are being executed every day, and that's why this needs to be dealt with straight away. he doesn't want to -- so he hassed ad it to the tasks of the task force that was set

up some weeks ago they will look at the issue of trying to get them released. >> look now at the impact of the withdrawal on the syrian conflict. the departure came almost as quickly as the intervention began. this russian defense ministry shows several aircraft leaving the base russia says it is now ready to withdraw the main part of it's force. in russian sha the first fighter jets to touchdown on home soil were welcomed by cheering crowds and military bands. for these pilots it is mission accomplished. a day after, the president assembled his staff and defense chiefs. six months of russian air strikes have turned the tide of war dramatic clay in favor of syrian president bashar al asaad. he says he has achieved the

objective. the surprise move coincides with resumed u.n. led peace talks in geneva, where the pull out has been welcomed be i the syrian opposition, and the u.s. government. we know despite the position we have made, despite the reductions in violence, and the increases in humanitarian assistance, lasting peace will be impossible without a genuine political transition. >> the syrian conflict has left entire towns in ruins and millions displaced. russian air strikes have allowed the syrian government to regain vital lost ground,s specially on the front lines. >> for the result pull out falls short of a complete withdrawal, the kremlin says it will continue some air strikes, and keep air defense systems and several hundred

personnel in syria. russia will also keep control of an air base and retain control of the syrian port. moscows playing it cautious. it could be a vital boost to the peace process. but we don't yet know that that is the case. we will reare call that in ukraine, they talked about withdrawallinging forces and it turned out to be a routine rotation. >> it is a move moscow insists is creating the conditions for peace. but in syria, many have forgotten what peace looks like. lee barker, al jazeera. >> according to the u.s. elections now tuesday is the most significant day in the u.s. primary race for both parties since super tuesday

earlier this month. to win the republican race, candidates need 1,237 delegates. as things stand now front runner has 460, ted cruz in second place with 370 pledged, marco rubio has 160 lee, and john kasich has 63 delegates. meanwhile, in the democratic party the winning capped date neats 2,300 ate three to be nominated. hillary clinton is in the lead with 1,235 delegates. and bernie sanders has picked up 580. let's go straight to our correspondent, where the winner of the republican ballot wins all 99 of the state's presidential votes makes it a key state to win. allen the winner takes all, florida is a big prize, tell us what the polls are showing about the republican race? >> well, the polls suggest that marco rubio is not going to win his home state. we were in miami just a

couple of hours ago. that one considered real hot bed of reviewers support. at one with polling station, very unscientific approach asking people how they voted it was almost equally split between marco rubio and donald trump. if that is the case, then rubio is in trouble. if he can't win overwhelmingly in south florida he will be struggling across the rest of the state. although the cam main insists they are involved in now is get out the vote effort that they are still competitive in this race, and they can still turn things around, and if turn out is high they will do very well. what does trump think? he thinks essentiallying is it is in the bag, how do we know that,ening. >> an 1 point gave him a 20-point lead, not significantly, to within the error of margin, and he thinks that ohio is there for the taking. john kasich is also in the

race. he believes his home state advantage will play well there. he is a very popular governor. but if you look at thele positive campaigns over the last couple of months he is behind donald trump. only now is he getting within the margin of error there. and that is staggering giving that he has 77% approval rates with republicans and democrats, and yet donald trump who hasn't stood for election anywhere, is running a very close in that state. so should trump win four of the five states on offer, on this day, he will essentially have one hand on the nomination, at that point. and if rubio loses here in florida, then essentially his campaign is over. not only is it difficult to progress if he can't even win your own state, backers don't like to back losers and they will move money away, the same applies to john kasich, if he doesn't win ohio then he is out. the problem he has is if he just takes ohio, it is difficult to see where he starts to pick up wins that

will really challenge donald trump. this will be an interesting few hours as the vote starts to come in from these crucial states. >> and on the other side, we see that hillary clinton clearly has the upper hand, the numbers, working in her favor right now. but what are we watching for? >> well, i think bernie sanders never believed this would be a great day for him. he thinks that florida will go to hillary clinton. she tends to do well with with olders. she is topping for some kind of upset victory, the way he did exactly a week ago. but the calendar starts to improve for bernie standers from here. it starts to get more ever interesting. it moves west, to states where there are more caucuses and he can start to pick up delegates. of course, if hillary clinton does well on this tuesday, she will turn the state to bernie sanders and say it ises time for you to get out of the race. but you have to remember,

that this time eight years ago, barack obama was building up a head of steam, and was doing very well, and was picking up delegates right, left, and center. and hillary clinton stays in the race until june. so as long as bernie sanders is winning states it is hard to argue for him to step aside. what we with could see after tuesday, incredibly, the republican race narrowing down to two, ted cruz against donald trump, with donald trump the overwhelming front the rubber and then cruz will come under pressure. and hillary clinton against bernie sanders with bernie sanders under increasing pressure to step out. he may hang on, and so donald trump can start to spend time, energy, the resources against the democratic candidate, if that were to believe hillary clinton. and this has been an extraordinary election. and it doesn't get any less extraordinary after every day. it is going to be an incredibly interesting night, and donald trump the man who had never run for office anywhere, could well have one hand on the nomination when the votes are counted in these five states.

>> yeah, definitely been a surprises so far. interesting to see how this turns out. thank you very much. there is more to come for you on the program. back in court, norway's mass murderer claims he is being held in conditions that preach his human rights. and refugees across a river to reach mas.s done yeah complain they were beaten before being returned to greece. hey how's it going, hotcakes? hotcakes. this place has hotcakes. so why aren't they selling like hotcakes?
