hello there were heavy downpours over parts of southern china at the moment you can see the cloud responsible on our satellite picture that's given a from very lively downpours indeed and it looks like the showers are going to continue as we head through sunday and monday the difference though is that the showers will be pushing a bit further north would say by monday that we here in the northern parts of arm up a chunk do it doesn't like some of those showers are going to be very heavy indeed if we had across towards the west we've also got some lively showers here as well as you'd expect at this time of year we're in the middle of the monsoon plenty of heavy rains at the moment along that western coast but we're now seeing some storms a bit further north as well for many of pradesh i think the downpours here are going to be very heavy on sunday and monday and they are likely to give us a problem with some flooding towards the north we've also got some heavy showers over many parts of nepal and into bangladesh at the moment to further west where things are still dry for now here in doha it's been incredibly humid over the last

few days but that should change as we head through into monday for sunday still a little bit sticky for us the temperatures the rising forty four degrees will be our maximum on sunday by monday they'll be up to forty five and there will be a very keen wind coming down from the northwest so we're drawing our heat but certainly a very hot day. a new series of rewind i can bring your people back to life i'm sorry and brand new updates on the best of al-jazeera documentaries the struggle continues from baghdad till now a huge distance rewind continues with the return of the lizard king steve child and one east upwards of two hundred species are going extinct every twenty four hours and a lot of that is attributed to wildlife trafficking rewind on al-jazeera. welcome

back let's just recap the top stories for you so far today north korea says talks with its officials and the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o have been regrettable pyongyang also accuse washington of unilateral demands over its deeds there is ation the comments are in contrast with mr pompei those who describe his two day visit to pyongyang as being very productive somali security services and are said to be back in control of the interior ministry compound after two bomb blasts and a gun battle a car bomb exploded outside the building in the heart of the capital mogadishu before the gunman from al-shabaab headed inside eight people are reported to have been killed in the attack. and more than one point six million people have been

ordered to leave their homes as a result of flooding in japan please forty nine people have been killed and dozens more are missing heavy rainfall triggered landslides causing widespread destruction in western and central reach each. of the team trying to rescue the young footballers from the thai cape says weather conditions are perfect but there's no word yet on when any attempts will be made to bring them out and heavy rain is in the forecast here scott hunter reporting from shanghai. coming from hundreds of meters deep within this mountain handwritten notes from the trip thirteen were delivered to the eager and worried parents outside the town long cave it was the first direct contact they've had since the boys went missing one read i love you mom i love you dad and he placed an order for his first meal when he gets out barbecued pork a seal diver added a note don't worry everyone is strong another note came from the twenty five year old football coach who took them into the cave he apologized to the parents and

said they were being well taken care of the parents then wrote notes of their own also hand delivered the nearly five kilometers into the cave. twelve year old proper out is a novice monk at a temple just next to the football pitch where the boys were two weeks ago just before they went into the cave the temple is believed to be a guardian of the cave it's currently also acting as a base for some soldiers working on the rescue effort i looked on right now i want them to be patient and i want them out as soon as they can the head of the rescue operation says that the challenges they're facing are unprecedented and some of the most experience and best rescuers in the world are involved concerns are growing about oxygen levels in the sections of the cave not under water and not just for the area where the boys in the coach are also where rescuers are staging equipment and working from now on only essential stuff will be in the cave he called every risk you dive

a reaches the limit in the third chamber and i cannot go further than that such a risk you mission has never happened before on this planet it requires both an expert knowledge and skill. he went on to say that more than one hundred locations above the cave have been drilled looking for an alternate escape route. as the rescue leaders plot the safest way to get the boys out the more than one thousand on hand to help when that plan is launched grab as much rest as they can it's got hotter al-jazeera chiang rai. and mummy is a is a cave experts and us national cape rescue commission coordinates and he joins us on skype from williams indiana and my me as a how do they get them out well that's going to depend entirely on all the factors that have been already discussed the weather is the biggest factor the weather holds up long enough that they can bring the water down in that cave then they can just walk them out which is the course the safest option whether is seems to work be working against us here and it's the next question is is where they are

currently in the cave safe enough to shelter even if the water comes up again due to heavy rains if they can shelter in place then that's the probably the next best option and then of course the most risky option is to attempt to dive them out the diving option i know is their last choice but they may have to use that option so it's really it really depends on all those factors so there's no one best way we're being told as well they have drilled several dozen if not almost a hundred test homes from the top of the mountain range directly into the cave system could that be more dangerous than it is safe particularly because they maybe don't know what the geology is like and also if the rain and the flooding eased just around the corner. drilling in from the surface if they can get to the cave is actually a very good and very viable option at the very least if they can manage to get to a place that's near where the boys are located they can bring in supplies and fresh

air that way which is dramatically better than than putting the divers at risk but shuttling equipment back and or the it any large or that would allow them to bring the boys out would take two weeks to months as it is indicated in the chilean mine disaster where they had or similar distance most caves are caused by water running over limestone unless you're talking about volcanic rock of course but is that the case here or are there different strata of different substances. so my understanding is that this cave is in limestone and it is what we consider the typical cave for most of the world is there something else that the rescuers have to be aware of something else that they have to push back against and it's the understandable pressure from their fellow rescue teams their backup rescue people the parents the world media the teaches that worked with these kids at school everyone is pressuring them to get them out and the rescuers maybe have to say no look we've got to stick to

a planned timetable because when we start this we're committed to it and we can't get to a stage where we go in and it's only eighty percent done it's got to be good and it's got to be a success. absolutely and one of the biggest problems the rescuers face right now is that no matter what decisions they make and keep in mind these are some of the absolute best people in the world i know several of them and i don't feel like i could do any better if i were there they're making the decision based on the best information that they have and none of us looking in from the outside have any of that information or is complete even the media reports coming out are often conflicting so they're making the decisions based on the information that they have and they've got the most accurate information that is available that matter what decision they make if there's anything less than a perfect outcome they're going to be judged and their their decisions are going to question and it's really not fair to them because they are trying to make those decisions the best they can the world looking in judging them is puts an enormous

amount of pressure on them and it actually puts them at risk and it also it does not help them do the job that they need to be doing right now and i mean as a there in williams indiana thank you. for the homes of a bedouin community and compiled west bank a safe from demolition after an old from the israeli supreme court they've lived there since before israel's occupation of the area more than fifty years ago however the authorities are keen to move them on his chelsea property. sulaiman abu who was born here in the bedouin village of qana in the israeli occupied west bank he's lived here with his family all his life. these raided government wants to demolish and many other bedouin villages as part of a plan called easy one which involves expanding the illegal settlement of mala i do mean completely surrounding jerusalem and separating the north from the south of the occupied west bank. i am like i me mine i'm asking for freedom like any

we understand the differences and the similarities of cultures across the world. so no matter where you call home al-jazeera will bring you the news and current affairs that matter to. al-jazeera. hello and welcome again to rewind. since the launch of al-jazeera english back in two thousand and six were built up a library of award winning films and here on rewind we're very visiting some of the

best of them today we're reminded to two thousand and thirteen when we went undercover on a wildlife smuggling trail stretching from madagascar off the southeast coast of africa across asia to malaysia on the trail of a man known as the pablo escobar of reptile smuggling or global wildlife trafficking is estimated to be worth billions of dollars every year almost as lucrative as the trade and illegal drugs and arms a key destination for wildlife traffickers as madagascar over ninety percent of the country's animals are found anywhere else making them a prize catch for smugglers including anson wong the man nicknamed the lizard king was jailed after a sting operation in one thousand nine hundred eight he was soon back in business before being arrested again in malaysia and two thousand and ten at an al-jazeera and best occasion in two thousand and thirteen deauville that those arrests and subsequent convictions did not put an end to his smuggling korea from the one aid.

there is one place the king has always. it's home to the world. that distinction makes them target number one. a conservation group spearheading the fight to save the species. rubber. radio receivers to track the ones they've managed to tag it's estimated there are only four hundred adults left in the wild. the ploughshare are made

especially vulnerable because they're only found in this small area of sand bamboo and scrubland. right there the first we come upon it's a tiny one turns out to be just a few months old. and. some of those who've worked with ant and wong in the past tell us that because a rare species he collects goodies plusher tortoise is perhaps the most valuable of all goodies when this guy or girl grows up to be an adult he or she could be worth tens of thousands of u.s. dollars and if it was back. to real says smugglers including wong started coming to these shores in the one nine hundred eighty s. just as the group was publishing reports over how endangered the species had become . endangered means high profits for poachers and the rule believes one has made

millions selling plowshares off to be illegal pet trade. their beautiful shells make it easy to see why they are considered the jewel in the crown of the reptile world. so when you hear about people like ants and long. making lots of money from these polisher tortoises. what is that doing your mind or is that to your heart you know. it's it's not that there are but i want to take a gun and kill him. you feel that strongly about a. nearby breeding and rescue center we find pens full of power shares that were saved from poachers. the rate of smuggling is so high his sheer madagascar's government for bid the group from releasing any back into the wild. in the lab there is a photo warning workers to be on the lookout for this man. it's anson was. that

photograph is there in terms of you know if this man turns up be and be careful. in one nine hundred ninety six seventy two plow shares restored in from this center in the most brazen reptile robbery in history while no one was ever caught one was later found trying to sell a number of them. he's almost public enemy number one for us in terms of his reputation even if half the stories are true then the scale of operation this man has been operating around the world and this and in madagascar is in his mind born . it was a shipment of plough shares to the u.s. among some other exotic animals that led to the lizard king's first arrest in one thousand nine hundred eight. it followed a five year undercover sting where wildlife officers posed as dealers to lure one a malaysian citizen to america. in court officers testified one promised them he

could get anything from anywhere. in the end he pled guilty to forty counts of illegally importing endangered species and was sentenced to almost six years in prison. use or going to market our army. or a reckless you know walker. who doesn't foster who. this man who we'll call x worked with wong for years and describes what drives him is more more. order country. besides the ploughshare madagascar is also home to many other unique species. ninety percent of the country's animals are found nowhere else in the world. an irresistible draw for the lizard king.

and so was in madagascar as capital to begin gaining access to his network and tracking down a man who since being carter has learned to be far more lucid. we're off to meet someone who's promised to take us to some smugglers and his job is to pack the tortoise's before shipment we told him that we're interested buyers he believes that he's taking some customers to meet his bosses. and give them a. reason not appearing nervous the man guides us through the crowded streets to a factory. i know next year and head by to mario introduces himself as a businessman. using hitting cameras we film is operational which he says exploit seafood and reptiles and. we also learn he's the son of

a presidential candidate well. i'm not. going to. laugh. in his office mario is the first to mention the man we're after. ok ok i don't know i know you know him nothing. and. mario offers to put us in touch with one of his associates. the next evening we meet that associate in a hotel room where he presents us with samples. per. their radiated tortoises the second most endangered in madagascar according to international law exploiting them from the country is illegal or. steal the deal of promise is not only a steady supply but hundreds for shipment a big eater. he also says his contacts at the airport will ensure they get through

security checks. are. you. prepared to. hear. it confirm something extort us earlier. one of our customs in all these countries or. their paid off. we're going to get something. what you can get but they're supposed to be in for. your forces or girls will. both x. and the dealer explain the typical route for smuggling same carriers or mules checking the tortoise's in suitcases in madagascar. from there he says the bags transit through a number of other cities by darussalam and to bar before entering asia. shipments we're told end up in his home country of malaysia where they are then sold on to

buyers around the world. of india. sirus a honda resort says she was once an unwitting participant in wong's criminal dealings a student from madagascar desperate for money she says she agreed to meet him at this hotel. back in twenty ten sarah says she and another woman were taken to a room and offered four hundred dollars each to carry shipments for wong to malaysia the cases she says were packed without her involvement. suffered since july only knew it was animals i didn't ask the details as to which kind of any laws were inside. while their first trip in two thousand and ten proved uneventful sarah says it was her second trip to malaysia a few weeks later that things went wrong. soon after touching down customs officials singled around. to the before we could take away the luggage it was

picked by suspection. and they saw it was not simple but less full of enables. among the cash authorities found three hundred radiated tortoises and a number of plow share. sarah was convicted of smuggling and was jailed for eight months. the same year the sarah was arrested the lizard king himself ran afoul of the law. in a separate incident one was caught with dozens of snakes on a plane for which he had no license for. a raid of his properties uncovered even more. a malaysian judge gave him a five year sentence but he served just seventeen months. according to sources one of the liberal kings biggest customers lives in indonesia bustling capital. we arrive just of the city is hosting a reptile exhibit. which. despite this being

a government sanctioned event it doesn't take long for us to find illegal animals for sale. here in the. including tortoises from madagascar. still undercover as a dealer we head for one of the biggest booths. but we sit down for a meeting you know with daniel and you would judge or you know as and how you know us and all. of you not only does daniel readily admit that to work together but we notice he's also wearing a shirt from madagascar and doesn't go on her so still to still doing our there there then that's something that surprises even us daniel admits the two thousand and ten shipment of snakes which landed anson in prison was destined for his shock

even her hero. yeah he's my. i think. if you think maybe you take go. pick your biggest or manny meaning like they were your snakes there are i read about that online. daniel also claims that after his last conviction as wife is increasingly taking over the operations he way the sales are tiles ok and it works out it's time to get a little closer. our first stop is once rural property in penang back hills. we need to see whether he's returned to his life of crime as some say or leading a reform life. twenty ten when law enforcement officers busted into this place he found two things tigers as well as the crocodile in question now it's his

that sort of thing still going on for. an hour later after hiking through the hills we stumble on a number of cages. and then we spot an enclosure. there's a tortoise inside. evidence that one is at least keeping animals. for the wrong we find a row of newer enclosures it's hard to make out what they are so we creep closer. the animals have distinctive ears we show our photos later to experts who tell us these are servile cats from north africa. following his twenty ten conviction malaysia's government banned wong and his wife . from holding business and wildlife trading permits. yet

someone in government did knowingly sign off on new licenses are such a public record is found that both anson and his wife have had several business permits renewed from the book kid jumble reptile sanctuary. to errol flynn. to c.b.s. wildlife. posing as customers we visit the penang address listed for the company. there we find answers wife chair being she almost immediately she confirms she and her husband are still trading for a router. there. are documents search also and covers another company grow no wild ride. it was formed after one's twenty ten conviction listed owner is a name we don't recognize. but trading permits show it exports the same animals as anson did to the same us customers he had before his arrest. i think the door my

dear friend so. rose address is listed on the upper floor of a commercial strip in the name of somebody nearer shore. from the street we can make out aquariums and cages leading us to believe animals are being kept there. and there. we find a worker or i have got a war now where. whatever that was more than happy to show off his current start. there are many albino pythons some thirty feet long all of them require permits. and then we confirm the real person behind. your boss is mr bone. mr wall. and. we show our findings to and surrendering a lawyer and opposition member of parliament in malaysia the fact that is being

done in open again indicates corruption for years surrendering has publicly raised the need to investigate the country's wildlife department. accusing them of aiding and abetting one so he seems to be able to operate above the law and beyond the law in malaysia how is that possible it is impossible without the complicity of all the authorities throughout our year long investigation which involved lengthy stakeouts in several countries we never caught sight of the lizard king this despite frequent reports from sources that he was in the area. finally we tracked him down in the name mr wong steve child from the program went to any star you will have to ask your question if we can know are you still involved in the trade. to talk to you sir can you tell us what role no wal-mart fears. and why why are there all by no i thought arms had run

a wildlife and according to the government you are not supposed to be trading in wildlife lawsuits woman. are you admitting ask the government are you saying you're doing nothing wrong. and i have no comment. also because jumble as well as at your company. company. several companies including rona wildlife do you call it. sir are you still involved in the trade threatened and endangered species. that. you understood one of his workers along with his wife tries to stop us from filming oh yes you've served time in jail sir wall grows increasingly aggressive obligations while we're on public property services because you're behind you're on public property don't push us or you're on public property. or we're on the property. just as quickly

though about a song sir and can you tell us what this box is for. sir these are serious questions we understand that you have served time for a number of these crimes and the question is are you still involved in the trade of endangered species it's the most will get from here search but not once did long denied he was back in the reptile trade. some questions left unanswered is whether his dealings would be possible without the help of authorities and wide. spite her obvious involvement his wife has never been brought up on charges so you are the official owner of the no run a wild life. you know. why is that man. what is clear is that the lizard king and his associates continue to operate just as they have for decades. trading and selling off the world's most endangered

creatures at will. that was return of the lizard king from one of one east back in two thousand and thirteen little is known today of ants and was whereabouts but he seems to have lost his standing as the kingpin of wildlife trafficking joining us now from kuala lumpur is steve child followed one for a year and steve you went undercover over the course of the year following all i was is so important for you to make this film and take the risks that you took while elizabeth we were hearing from a lot of environmental groups around the world about how serious the wildlife trafficking situation was becoming many people were linking the wildlife trafficking trade to other major crimes like the trafficking of arms and the trafficking of drugs and saying that it was on the same level and that organized crime syndicates were getting involved that was sort of the impetus for us to start looking at this and then when we're trying to sort of target or pinpoint people who

are involved in the trade and since we're and someone's name kept coming up so we decided to try to infiltrate his network and find out what was going on whether he is still involved in wildlife trafficking we simply do not know what we do know is that after we ran our film malaysian authorities did charge the director of a company that answered long was affiliated or linked to as well as they did also charge his former wife for possession of endangered animals after several years of delays in the courts that malaysian. director of that company pled guilty to possession and willingly agreed to pay a fine of ten thousand u.s. dollars plus of the prosecution however dropped the charges against and ones former wife so the film did have some impact but of course not the kind of impact that's need and where do things stand and malaysia now stephen where does that figure and global wildlife trafficking malaysia still remains

a key transit hub for even legal wildlife being trafficked the way it works we understand is that poachers there are poaching wildlife from africa or other parts of asia are shipping it through malaysia as well as other countries in southeast asia on to destination points in terms of places where buyers are are acquiring this so malaysia still remains a problem country there has been a lot of work done by the un and others to train customs officers here and to create more of a diligence if you will to keep tabs on customs officers so that they aren't on the take however that is a challenge we understand throughout much of the world especially in southeast asia so what we're seeing is that a lot of the cultures there are trafficking their goods through these places and once authorities seize some of the shipments then that is switched to another countries some of the key countries are seeing you know the continually popping up are malaysia thailand laos vietnam and these are just some of them that are key problem cities countries if you will and steve who is driving the market.

well that's a very good question it is extremely varied depending on the wildlife and the type of wildlife we're talking about if we're talking about wildlife use for the descent all purposes such as pangolin scales or rhino horns that are rubbed down into medicine the key markets are vietnam and china predominately as well as other parts of asia if we're talking about the trafficking of pets you know pets illegally taken from places that that then that becomes much more global so we're talking about you know interest out of collectors in the middle east collectors in europe the u.s. and also in parts of asia as well in terms of how much this illicit trade is worth annually we are dealing with a tsunami the numbers are staggering we're talking about upwards of two hundred species of flora and fauna that are going extinct every twenty four hours that's about one thousand times the natural progression if you will of any extinction that

we've seen on the planet and a lot of that is attributed to wildlife trafficking we know what more can be done about it you know the key people say is corruption corruption corruption is the main problem if you know customs officials if the government officials in various countries you know stop you know taking in the bribes if they actually you know stop the shipments then perhaps we can put an end to this but at this moment it's not happening richard lewis you know we spent some time with him in madagascar for this film and when we were out in the jungles with him you know we looked at the ploughshare tortoise one of these very wanted you know animals and at the time of filming there were about four hundred ploughshare tortoises left in the wild only four hundred but as of now we understand that number is down to fifty and that species is on the brink of extinction and that's the heartbreaking part thank you very much steve and that's it from us but do join us again next week and check out

from that there still it would commit it to meet him is documented sarah clocks covering the story from seoul in south korea she updated us in the past hour. well certainly when pompei left to pyongyang he indicated to reporters and a statement was released stating that they were impressed or happy with the progress that he made at these two day talks between north korea and the united states in pyongyang they suggested that progress had been made on central issues now we're hearing a very different story from north korea and the last hour or so we are hearing from the foreign ministry that expressed regret over the attitude of the u.s. negotiators on how they denuclearization a program plan was discussed or addressed by the u.s. they said they're extremely disappointed by washington's posture and are expecting a gesture in a spirit of constructive talks on normalizing the issue based on the the key point

and negotiations back at the simple summit between kim jong on and one of the poor porters on this delegation traveling with. had suggested that you know only in the pace that would be with michael and not she's confirmed that this didn't happen and it has now been followed up and supported by the u.s. state department which said it didn't happen it's an indication that it was on the table had talks gone well and clearly the talks had gone as planned. on behalf of the north korean sides on reflection seems north korea which is appointed by the u.s. and their insistence on focusing on the denuclearize action plan of what of what they describe as the big picture issues for north korea issues we turn to ivan foster cossar korea analyst and operate senior research fellow at leeds university is on skype from x. that's always lovely to talk to. i feel with north korean statements like this we always have to look at it through the prism of well this is the type of thing that they do cite just as we have the type of things that donald trump tends to stay

there's a lot of hyperbole there's a lot of big language. that said what do you make of all of the comments today i think that is a very helpful way of framing it and in the context of the kinds of things that north korea does say and that even said a little earlier in this process when people might remember the wobble about a fortnight before the singapore summit when they lashed out and called vice president pence a dummy for example words like unfortunate are very mild we can be relieved by that nonetheless they are negative and it's clear that north korea has chosen for whatever reason to put a very different spin and put it on very quickly than the secretary of state compare i guess will ears and eyes will be on the secretary's covered a joint press conference i believe tomorrow. in japan with the foreign ministers of japan and south korea so we'll see if he adds more but it is unfortunate also that what is capturing is not that he didn't get to meet with kim

jong un himself that again is a north korean seal of slight disapproval and it's really puzzling that by now they haven't at least and we all know by now anyone who's half way following this knows that the u.s. and north korea come at this in different ways north korea repeating its call for a phased in synchronous process is the u.s. really i mean there's been lots and lots of talks going on at lower levels do they not grasp what it what what each side likes or i think maybe feeling is just playing hardball counting on being able to string trump along but i kind of wonder how long that can go on but doesn't it highlight we talk about what each side likes doesn't it highlight the fact that after singapore there wasn't actually anything concrete because on one side the u.s. team keeps talking about the current if i'm wrong c.v.i. and complete verifiable irreversible denuclearization that was never in the signed document and the norad the one saying you're pushing us towards

denuclearization which is nothing we agreed to. he asked it's out again by now you'd think they would each know what the other needs slightly. there is a phrase i can't get out of my head and i wish i could people might remember that dennis rodman read to him he used to be made american route met the north korean leader appealed to kim jong il about some other issues some years ago i guess about releasing some of their prisoners do me a solid surround sound rather vulgar to english parents or i would pump you really needed something substantial the north koreans kill you not only not giving him that but saying hang on you're not giving us anything that we need either it's really rather puzzling you think they would they would each try little bit harder with the other so what do you expect to happen next we have these ongoing talks does anyone else need to get involved as the south get involved does china get involved. no they i mean what is important of course is that separately but related laid the there isn't

a korean peace process that is not theirs after meeting almost daily about this all that bit reconnecting roads possible and so while china is fairly pleased about things on the whole i think we are awaiting for the next tweet from donald trump not a my fear is it could go either way i mean the north koreans and mash they meant like trumps a catholic crafted they appeal they said they still have faith in president trump and this is a simple thing that somehow create his millions of not done his bidding properly which is again a bit disingenuous but this can't go on indefinitely they will have to be something of a solid something more substantial ok they blew up a nuclear test site but never to verify that they know what's involved in this crisis but equally the u.s. probably needs to start talking about a peace process i'd be surprised if they haven't been but i mean i think this might get back on track but this is an unfortunate wobble it's somehow not re surprising that syria knows chris past form i don't fault the carter doing us a solid by talking north korea iran and current thank you very much thank you you

can get in touch with us of one fact some of you already have on the north korea situation contact details are on screen for you now herman on facebook has said there is some difference between denuclearization of the peninsula compared to that of north korea and it's not just rhetoric i think this is the thing that there is still a lack of clarity of what denuclearization means to either side of this debate and a question actually which i could put this to and what is north korea getting out of this. there could point well a lot of people said that they just get to be recognized on the world stage which is what donald trump has done ever since the singapore summit hash tag twitter facebook whatsapp telegram anything else you can think of get in touch with us we're going to move on now least eight people have been killed in the somali capital mogadishu dozens more injured and it is the armed group al-shabaab which is it was behind the attack near the ministry of interior building him morgan has the details. once again the city of mogadishu is living through the aftermath of an attack and once again those responsible are also about fighters the armed group has

been battling somalia's government for twelve years it has launched more than half a dozen attacks this year alone. i was close to where the explosion happened the car through the checkpoint barrier into the ministry building then it exploded there was smoke everywhere many people died in there but i wasn't able to count them. is fighting to overthrow the government and was pushed out of mogadishu in twenty eleven but it continues to target both government sites and civilians so. i saw ten bodies with my own eyes and eight wounded the car exploded inside the ministry building there was a lot of confusion screaming and lots of gunfire. the attackers entered the ministry of interior following the explosion and exchanged gunfire with security forces inside someone is government says all three have been killed but while those involved in this attack may have been killed al-shabaab remains

a significant threat to millions of somalis and the future of their country stability people morgan al-jazeera michael with us now visiting fellow at the center for africa at the london school of economics michael thank you for your time you want you to see this but i'm going to show our viewers just quickly a map of somalia and we're pointing out the fact i guess the strength of al-shabaab mortgage issue seems to be pretty much surrounded by al-shabaab strongholds which we've got mosques in yellow on maps can you translate that and say actually how strong the group still is and how well i mean i guess the fact it's able to get to the interior ministry says something. well this in the us about what will attack any day in the minutes if there is a huge naps and they've been you know look at the divinity for quite a while so they're very strong but essentially what seems to have triggered this is actually this is a sort of retaliation against some frustrations are rising from clashes that began

from wednesday us and i'm sure you know olives you have been trying to bring in sharia law and they've been long ground he says about zach katz tax collection and also about odds are trying to recruit teenagers to join the ranks and your thirty's include in the book land of issues have resisted the us about tends to create a teenage us and to actually post zuck to taxation and i think this was a form of retaliation against authorities as a result of clashes which began on wednesday and thursday just to be clear on your meeting al-shabaab wants to bring in shari'a law not al-jazeera just to be very very clear can a hunch about. can i then ask you about the fight against al because shabaab.
