3:31 pm
also coming up this hour on from seventy four thousands of indigenous brazilians protests against charitable some meadows policies. that have been dubbed an assault on the rights and territories. of the far right. thank you for watching live from paris we start with a sri lanka was soldiers were lockedd in a gun battle this friday with suspects links the last sunday's terrorist attacks meanwhile. new details have emerged of the individuals involved. officials inside the country a pending the blame on a little known extremist group. called the national tell he jamaat. at the helm of that group as i have a high sheen is believed to have been killed softly carried out a suicide attack. on the shangri la hotelel in the capital colombo.
3:32 pm
front said twenty four was a yemeni reports [inaudible] yeah. to make explosives and an islamic state group flag --- found inside a house reportedly used by the easter s sunday attk is. three long kids leaders are trying to get to the bottom of the coordinated attacks and is searching for remaining suspect. at the seventy people. i get ready the neck. most of them a and most of the explosives have already been taken into custody. from monex needd we still have o find a small amount. ththerefore the danger is not completely over. some poor name i h have a meetig ththat.. friday preresident series c. not confirirm that ththe alledd ringngleader of the attack laurn hasheem was killed at the shanangri la hotel. as investigation into the massacre continues so does t the political route if he knew what the full of the deadly attacks. me in this incncident. the defense secretary and the
3:33 pm
police chief of completely failed to carry out their responsibilities. they should have at least given me a phone call or not. neighboring india won't sri lanka of possible attacks several times both the president and the prime minister denied being aware of the report. meanwhile the country's catholic he does that he felt betrayed by the revelation. the end even indicated the places where. back to st mary's. church leaders have canceled a sunday masasses that.. latest sri lankan officials also called on muslims to stay at home the friday prez. the morale i'd like to cross lives again simply o out he's account on terrorism specialist withth a modem security consultg group and he joins us -- from -- ballantine you so much for being with us so here are not france twenty four now. i think it's safe to say at this stage that the investigation into the attacks is really
3:34 pm
proving to be incomplete. disarray doesn't it. the absolute guitar response to the to the attacks has been moved this rates that are it's abysmal at best and it shows -- but the priority has been to focus a lot more out about on damage control rather than really getting to the bottom of it and i think they keep numerous leaks are sometimes contradictory. i've only hindered the investigation that in your report i won the m masters was quoted i'm one of the officials was going to say well we found most bombs -- so the dangers mostly gone. again shows just how inaccurate and how [inaudible] they are. attack and a concept. and of course. there were numerous intelligence failures by thirties in sri lanka they actually had warnings primed to these attacks why. didn't they act one one they able to prevent these attacks.
3:35 pm
there are numerous possibilities but i know from personal experience that -- in very tense political environments. infoformationn intntelligence rs become. an objecect of power -- they'lle sometimes preferences -- who gets what in presidential systems? for example -- somewhat for which the president over the prime minister and the other way around whihich means at t some t somebody along the change will not get the information. find out what's possiblee - - te high class competitions. your walker c. a and other elemenents you can have a perfet storm where the information i is not shared. but it't's not j just in recent weeks of also in recent months or five months ago -- and show that somehow information i just spoke for incompetence reason perhaps deliberate reason but not sure what.
3:36 pm
we'll find out more about that i'm show in the coming days dancing pf given that at this stage islamic state group. has taken responsibility is it fair is it accurate to say that the group's changing how it operates is now working with much smaller more domestic groups. not all day they've always operated this way it's it's the biggest strength that knowledge. isis but also about canada is that they'll use local structures and strengthening them through different types of support when logistical financial -- weapons i we see across africa thiss. southeast asia has been a huge breeding grounds.. isis or extremist groups are. affiliating themselves to isis overer the last couple years so it's it't's not a car this operations not a consequence. what happened? whether it's's been p part of te week t the spread theirir brandr ideology number followed you and in the case but you yours. not add a link to what happens here in iraq but given that they have this bus now could an attack like this be a precursor
3:37 pm
to more launcher. attacks. well over the last. three weeks of if you're talking general with isis and without a doubt. because over the last couple weeks -- therere's been an operation within the circles are the cult engines for syria and enormous of those attacks under this label evever heardrd. around the world over the last few weeks as a whole the threat of islamic state yep the exam st still there it's very pleasant because the idb ideology still very inspiring because as you mentioned. one of the consequences of for having the problems in syria and iraq over the last couple years. transfer. transfer knowledge to other places around the world and so i had to say isis is behi and and that that's ludicrous and yes we should expect bigger and more taxes your boss. yes yes something by keeps coming up again and again especially as we speak to a lot of terrorism expert says. use of social media by groups
3:38 pm
like the islamic state group is there any way to filter these tools because it seems like the likes of vices of the compass checking adept at recruitment and even. pushing them message. through the likes of let's say check tells. even. well it't's a it's a it's a mixture o of numerous factors of course social media and instant messaging. plays gigantic role derek there is t technology availablele to counter -- though the good communication that surrounds the extremist groups could happy from their members are their organization --- what's the question will. these are someone t to manage it ininternally some say we're willingg topic straddle help you do it. i yes what we're d dealing with. thatat is willlling to adapt t h means if at someme point sociaia media is no longer useful
3:39 pm
they'll end up and other means. even if it means going old schoolol using letters and and just telephone riding mododn cocommunication but that that constantly which means. well yes social media does your manager all. nicely. if this was indeed the islamic state group. this was one of the most devastating attacks that they've carried out. why now? it sounds weird but the timing is is good. risk factors again there's this idea that maybe a revenge for surrey out that could be yeah. we'll do some mention urging cure clothing should not cut yeah it could be as a request for ice church. there's no evidence so far. this is been the case but over the last couplple years again because the focus has been on syria and iraq. a lot of the other entities to i. s. -- were overlooked and i've been i i have been able to have beeeen allowed to grow and develop an island in the philippines and indononesia
3:40 pm
bangladesh. is the peace in between was the next domino toto fall soso to sk in. otheher regionsns around the wod as well so it't's a lot of noise part of it is the consequence of having it hello. focusing on syria and iraq i realizing that. this enemy is actually going elsewhere. and not some pl hyles the modern security consulting groroup thak yoyou so much for your insnsigh. analysis here with us live on paris.. moving onn to a ten week of protests in algeria thousands sick to the streets as friday to demand the departure of the country's leading and yes. after a string of pepeople closr to the toppled president that's abilities beautifully cup. was sacked o o arrested a the alleged growth. also differs a dangerous enough has the story. it's become an iconic landmark in algiers. on friday i'll judeans gathered outside the capital's post office for tenth week of protests and despite the arrest of business tycoons earlier in

3:43 pm
which is an unusually sort of already tense reaction to the protesters there's been lots of fear that there would be violent clashes -- so far not the worst. case scenario has emerged as far as violence of protesters and they have been able to carry out their agenda of really making clear their demands. today they had a meeting with brazil's justice ministry and that's a ministry that until recently was responsible for the country's indigenous affairs agency. now balsamo has moved the indigenous affairs agency to another ministry. for just a second -- ministry doesn't consider their interests as much and already that agency has been stripped of the power to set the boundaries of indigenous lands. the protesters say this makes them more at risk of attack so today they were able. to say that in a meeting with the ministry with a representative of the ministry of justice search your model. catherine it was a sense of the role of women in this movement which is certainly been increasing and this appears to be a link -- to unfortunate escalation of violence against
3:44 pm
them on the community as a whol. there are more protesters at this indigenous campaign in past years and specifically there a lot of women and one of the highest profile protesters as a woman named. sonya graduate giada she's an indigenous woman who is a vice presidential candidate. in last october's election and she's been very vocal you know tweeting during the protests leading them at turning into a man's to congressmen. and during that campaign when bulls or not it was running he made a lot of disparaging comments not only against indigenous brazilians but also against women. and so what's that what that has meant is that in the first few months of history. have been on the front lines of many protests that have been pushing back against his first measures and certainly indigenous rights is no exception. catherine osborne reporting for us from re extension near thank you so much for being with us. have a dozen spain will go to the polls a sunday. and countries the general
