this is bbc america and now live from london "bbc world news." >> hi there. our top stories. al qaeda in the arabian peninsula says it planned and financed the attack last week. it features a cartoon of mohammad on the cover. the print span is to be expanded to 5 million. inside hong kong's legislature by the chief executive. half a million people turn out in the israelvy shirri lankan capital
9:01 am
to watch the pope cannonize. and what's said to be the toughest climb in the world. welcome to the program. within the last couple of hours, a video has emerged showing a leader of al qaeda and the arabian peninsula saying it was behind last week's attack behind "charlie hebdo" in paris. eight people were killed at the satirical magazine. well in a video posted online what he calls the blessed battle of paris and the prophet of mo mohammad says they chose the target, laid the plan and financed the operation and did
9:02 am
it on the orders of al qaeda's leader iman bin al zawahiri. this video, talk us through what's in it. >> it's just over 12 minutes long. it features this one individual talking to the camera for almost the whole of the video giving quite a long speech. in the background these were scenes in paris looked like they were taken off french and international tv channels and don't appear to be images we haven't seen before and then this long lecture he goes into motivations why al qaeda in the arabian peninsula wanted this operation ending with this claim they were responsible for it they led it financed it. organized it. some references to al a wawalaki, the controversial cleric in
9:03 am
yemen featured briefly in the video and was killed in a u.s. air strike a couple years ago. >> it's important to state this video has come out a week after those attacks. >> yes. we don't really know the time scale what's in it. this isn't a martydom video by those two brothers. we've seen that in some previous terrorist attacks the people had recorded their own video ready for distribution afterwards. interesting, this looks like a video al qaeda in yemen created after the fact to distribute. >> they had some contacts in yemen. we saw coulibaly talking about he was doing this in the name of is. and they are coming closer together. >> interesting people noticed this discrepancy.
9:04 am
i.s. and al qaeda compete and are often criticized and often confused by the kouachi brothers linking themselves to al qaeda in yemen. this isn't necessarily the leadership of two groups cooperating. this looks like a pair of brothers who had gone to yemen and dealt with al qaeda in yemen and asked by them to carry something out and an individual who identified himself to i.s. and they knew each other and decided they would coordinate themselves attack rather than this being a great strategic decision by i.s. and al qaeda and why it looks like these two groups that compete have done something at the same time rather than the individual relationship of the groups. >> fascinating. for the time gordon thank you very much. our security correspondent. this video has come out a week after those attacks in paris.
9:05 am
let's cross over live to the cap capitol now. christian, what is the reaction so far to this video? >> reporter: to be honest i'm not sure many people will have heard or seen about it this morning. most of the focus is on charlie heb heb -- hebdo which sold out. and people are voting with their wallets having marched here over the weekend and buying huge numbers, copies of "charlie hebdo" and some are on sale on ebay for quite an eye watching amount. now to this video, the anti-terrorism expert for strategic research. your reaction to this claim by al qaeda and yemen. >> it comes a bit late in the day.
9:06 am
al qaeda had already reacted shortly after the massacre of "charlie hebdo" saying this was a good thing and i.s. the competition from the islamic state have done the same thing. this is coming a bit late maybe because they may have been unhappy with coulibaly stating that he was acting for the islamic state, whereas the massacre had been claim eded by people acting for al qaeda. >> reporter: we did see this yesterday, the two men coming out of the offices one shouting i have av venchenged the prophet muhammad. >> the kouachi brothers claim it for al qaeda. but the market share of the industry, if i can put it that way i think is full blast between al qaeda not doing very well and the islamic state.
9:07 am
this is not good news by the way. it means they will continue to vy in terms of actions of terror and horror over the next month, not great. >> reporter: in fact this morning to one of the newspapers saying they've been threatened at their offices. you would expect copycat sort of things. i just want to talk about investigations in general. we heard more news about coulibaly and we heard about the weapons probably valued at 13,000 euros. where does the money come from? >> apparently he took out a loan for 6,000 euro for one of these consumer loan shops we have in france, if you want to buy a car or something like that and you're out of money actually a short time ago. this is not going to go down very well with the public i guess.
9:08 am
>> reporter: when you talk about the weapons, a lot was made about the weapons coming from outside. i know from reporting here in france the drug economy, drug people in the drug business they have these kind of weapons easily at hand. >> the drug economy has unfortunately been thriving elsewhere and from the balkans and domestic are now pretty well furnished with weapons of that sort. >> reporter: one last line before we hand it back to london an investigation into the man traveling with coulibaly's girlfriend. >> he is suspected of having done the video with coulibaly that was put online shortly after coulibaly was killed. this man has a very good education, comes from a high level engineering school in
