east africa researcher for amnesty international. what does kenya need to do to kerb the threat posed by al-shabab? >> i think it's not one thing that they need that the kenyan government needs to do it needs to do more than the one thing. primarily for me the elephant in the room is what is the end game in somali. they went to somali october 15, 2011. since then i came to save somali, it is falling apart. what is the end state. no one is saying they should pack their bags and leave. we need a clear end goal of what our job in somali is when are we leaving. the second thing is trying to think critically about the nexus between corruption and national security. it's something that a lot of the times, you know it's not looked at critically but national security is linked with corruption where every government effort is trying to have procurement for security services, a feeding ground for the corrupt officials. at the local level they can be bribed. the sad important issue is the government needs to consider the over the top counterter

again back to domestic politics 1998, august, al qaeda bob two of our embassies in east africa. clinton was deeply mired in the monica lewinsky scandal at the time, to testify before the grand jury about his activities with that woman, and he suddenly decided completely out of character, made a quick decisive decision to retaliate against al qaeda. usually he did it over different policy decisions but not on this case. the shot over 100 cruise missiles into training camps in afghanistan and what appeared to be nerve gas factory in sudan. it was really a pharmaceutical factory. did not make nerve gas or any components of deadly gas. the strike on a training camps killed six people they were back in business in two weeks and it put al qaeda and osama bin laden on the map made him into a huge figure in the arab world's. in my view it was a clear case of the tail wagging the dog. there was the movie at the time with dustin hoffman and the president made up of phoney crisis to take attention from his sex scandal and i believe that is exactly what clinton did in 1998. closer to home,

so while it's in east africa it's something that's really resonating with law enforcement and intelligence authorities here in the united states keeping a very close eye on what they are up to and in fact the u.s. embassy in kenya has been repeatedly warning americans in that region to remain vigilant. >> only this week the white house announced the president would be making his first visit to kenya later this year. we'll see how that unfolds as well. barbara, thank you. >>> meanwhile, there has been a bold attack by an al qaeda group half a world away and it may increase the threat for americans even here at home. the terror group has taken advantage of the chaos and violence in war-torn yemen, targeting a prison there and freeing hundreds apparently including one of its own leaders. let's bring in our chief national security correspondent jim sciutto. he's got the details for us and the enormous implications. >> no question. i spoke to a u.s. counter terrorism official today who called the situation in yemen dire and says there's no indication things are going to get better soon. keep in

what is happening across east africa, north africa, yemen, the arabian peninsula, syria, iraq, is a veryconfluence of radicalism and extremism just unbridled and it's posing a huge amount of challenges to all of the various governments. as yet, there hasn't really been unlike when al qaeda was pushed back after the surge, pushed back in iraq, pushed back in afghanistan after 9/11, there's a popping up of all of these groups when no one government able to push it back. yemen isn't doing better and saudis are leading a multiair coalition there. >> the attacks continue in somalia. they have continued before this attack and after this massacre against al shabab. it was important to highlight and have that official on because there are questions and now i would argue they've spurred protests on the ground there. >> people are very worried. >> great to see you. >>> ahead for us "at this hour," as yemen collapses into chaos, many countries are getting their citizens out. the united states not yet. will they? what does the u.s. need to do more of? that's next. denver international is one of the

i think what it is it's less a problem of totalable water, but in regions like the middle east and north africas a problem. the principal problem is not so much the availability of water, as the success in water governance managing water in a way that it can be available where it's needed where we avoid contamination, produce enough food and have enough water for the ecosystems and the future. the biggest obstacle is the way we think about how we manage water, jurisdictional fragmentation falling into play when we think about managing the river basin system and these have to change if we are to address the true sustainability that water prepares globally. >> i'm glad you brought that up. in some areas like west africa taking water management out of government hands, privatizing it so water people used to get is natural course in the daily lives. they are paying for it but some of them happen to be some of the poorest people on the planet. >> certainly there are problems as you described, and what i'm talking about foremostly and firstly is how we are thinking about water. how it comes to us how
