should americans be worried if kenya is teetering? >> yes, for several reasons. >> first and foremost this is a regional problem. it's not just a problem, it's a problem that flows, and other countries that united states has a history of economic and political ties with. you have to remember that al-shabab has reach into europe, and into the american homeland. now, smathizers for al-shabab represent an infinite intest imally small minority, many of home have nothing to do with this. there has been cases where al-shabab recruited americans, had supporters, and have a reach that other terrorist groups don't have into groups in america, itself. is al-shabab more dangerous now than it was when this was trying to become a somali government? >> it is. ironically it is weaker and more dangerous at the same time. the fact that it's engaging in asymmetrical terrorist attacks. in a country like kenya, where there's tens of thousands of targets, it will be difficult if not impossible to prevent the group from exacting more of these kinds of cost

gunmen storm university in kenya.you have gunmen who say they are from al shabaab, from nearby somalia. storming university in kenya. attacks against students here shots fired. an active situation. welcome back. i'm christine romans. welcome back to "early start." welcome to our viewers in the u.s. and around the world. let's start with the breaking news. gunmen taking hostages in southeastern kenya. the red cross says at least 30 people wounded at garissa university college. four seriously. the militant group al shabaab claiming responsibility for the tacks. the gunmen have taken an unknown number of hostages though all 50 have been freed. the militants are now cornered in one building. i want to go right now to robin kriel. she is the east bureau chief in nairobi. i want to tell you what the red cross has been reporting and tweeting. they are talking about the attack. the red cross saying in a tweet that 30 casualties have been taken to the hospital. four are serious. a majority of the casualties have gunshot wounds

that's largely coming from the kenya red cross. we are still trying to assert the situation and trying to get to the bottom of it and understand how many students are still there. how many have been rescued. trying to get details of the numbers of those rescued. of course, again, we have so many statements coming from different government institutions. we have yet to find out the exact number of gunmen -- >> all right, dennis -- >> reporter: those killed in this attack. >> thank you very much, ntv correspondent joining us from nairobi on the line. saying that there is some confusion. there's a lot of anger among kenyans seeing what they believe is once again innocent people left vulnerable by security forces. and if we just pull up a map of this university, you've been seeing some of the emergency vehicle there rushing to and from the scene. you see it's quite a large space, and it's still a fluid situation right now, rosemary. dennis saying that perhaps the gunmen are trapped or cornered in one dormitory. there is the potential an

but to be fair to kenya kenya is next to somolia. kenya was actually prompted to go into somolia. at the moment, kenya needs leadership leadership. they need to simply say, look, see what happened at west gate and this is happening today. i think it is possible something bigger could happen. >> we appreciate your time. thank you. >>> we're going to take you to switzerland where talks on iran's nuclear program do appear to be making progress. as we know representatives from the u.s.a. the u.k. france germany, china, and russia have all been thrashing out a deal for more than two weeks now but in the last few hours or so there's been a flurry of activities around those talks. james, just tell us exactly what's going on at the moment. >>reporter: well what's going on now is the foreign ministers who have been in the ho tell behind me are now on their way to a technical college on the edge of the town where they will be giving a statement about what has been achieved here. now, what is not clear is the scope of that what exactly are they going to announce. is this an agreement? is it

that has been a difficult scenario for kenya. since the kenyan military invaded in 2011 it opened itself up to the threat and the reality of attacks by al shabaab. most infamously in 2013 when al shabaab took on that mall in nairobi westgate mall and held people hostage for hours. it would appear this is a similar sort of operation. they try to drag this out, of course terrible for the parents and families of those who are at the university. garissa is in a part of kenya seen as marginalized and not well developed. terribly tragic for the institution. the forces will be watched closely in this operation because they were roundly criticized for how they dealt with previous terror attacks. >> do we know was there any prior intelligence or if they were worried about this or any kind of warning? >> reporter: the u.s. embassy did put out a general warning quite recently. they do this quite often. the kenyan government has criticized the u.s. and u.k. for putting out travel advisories. in this case they may have been on to something. t

can kenya secure its boarders? >> not perfectly.try really can, just given the number of people coming through. just look at the united states with mexico. so it takes a domestic effort in the case of kenya and somalia, you see a focus by the african union and the international community. but ultimately, that's just defense. it's just a short-term defensive position to keep people out. the longer-term solution is one that everyone struggled with, al shabab and al qaeda. >> so we're talking about somalia. but on the other side of the waters there, there's yemen. a similar country and a similar situation. do you see boots on the ground when it comes to the arab led coalition against the houthi rebels there? >> i think eventually you could see not u.s. boots on the ground but certainly saudi or other gulf nation boots on the ground. yemen is essentially a failed state. there's very little that the u.s. can expect from yemen in terms of cooperation or counterterrorism efforts. so in that vacuum, saudi arabia fortunately steps in to try

the latest call by the kenya government is the biggest so far and the threat that kenya will force ton. doesn't have the refugees worried most and have a warning from the kenya authorities. >> translator: if we return then thousands of young men others with al-shabab and no option but to join the group. the only thing to give them a way. >> reporter: impossible to close the camps and any move to locate refugees must be agreed upon by kenya and somalia authorities, i'm with al jazeera, refugee camps in northern kenya. >>> joined by professor of history and international relayings at the u.s. international university in nairobi and good to have you with us and what will happen to refugees? there is a lot of conversation back and forth about whether it's logistic to move that many people in the timeframe and what do you think will happen to them in the end? >> well they need discussions about movement of the refugees and it will not be done in three months in reality but talking point has to be started and to find modalities and ways of maybe setting up new camps within somalia that are

kenya presence in somalia.ith rape, murder and killing of innocent muslims. >> yes, absolutely. warning of more bloodbaths in kenya. soni, how is the government reacting to this, what are they saying? >> reporter: i've yet to see a statement from the government directly reacting to al shabaab threats. what i do know is that the government is insistent about their presence in somalia, and the thing that they can reinforce the border. they're planning or talking about building a wall between somalia and kenya. but also bumping the security personnel saying we have a shortage of security personnel. but as talking to the community to be more participating in issuing and communicating with police. and also requesting international community to assist in sharing intelligence and the somali president has come out saying they are willing to incorporate the level of intelligence, incorporation with kenya just so they're able to fight al shabaab. >> soni, i wanted to ask you a very quick question about the people they've

on kenya soil.gun menstormed the campus in the city taking hundreds of students hostage and it's over the siege now but dusk to dawn cure curfew is in place and first a report from emma on the day's dramatic events. >> reporter: supposed to be a place of learning but instead became a battle ground and kenya troops tried to flush out al-shabab tighters hold up inside the university college. they stormed the building in the early hours of the morning while students were sleeping. [siren] security forces were deployed and it's close to kenya's border with somalia and targeted before by al-shabab, a somali based group linked to al-qaeda and some students were taken hostage, others managed to escape. >> they started jumping up and down running for their lives but it's unfortunate where they are going to is where they were coming from. >> reporter: within hours al-shabab said it was behind the assault. many of the injured suffered gunshot wounds and inside the hospital where they were treated pain grief a

what happened in kenya?well, we understand at about 5:30 in the morning, group of attackers stormed the campus at carissa university college. most of the students were either at prayer or they were still sleeping in their beds. they took a number of people hostage in one of the buildings and held onto them held onto the building for most of the day. i the end of the day, last night, the government confirmed at least 147 people were dead and the attackers had also been killed. we understand today that that death toll is very likely to rise. we're hearing reports of at least 170 people dead from this horrific attack. juan: leslie lefkow this is the worst of several attacks that have been occurring recently from auch about into kenya. could you talk about the roots of this? >> we've seen in security in this region around garissa. garissa is located in the north of kenya and the northeast province. it is a region of kenya largely populated by ethnic somali kenyans of somali descent. small-scale attacks previousl

if they are not moved kenya will do it themselves, although u.n. officials who spoke said it will be impossible to close the camps within that time frame. >> what evidence is there or at least what evidence has the kenyan authorities provided al-shabab is hiding fighters within the camp or getting recruits from there? >> well, no, other than comments comments, beliefs that the camps are believed to be a hide out for people causing insecurity for the country and a place where al-shabab trains it's young men there. there is absolutely no prove the government has brought. what we know is that the border between kenya and somalia is very poor. they are 800 kilometers away from the border, and this is one of the reasons why there are suspicion that is the camps are aware-- >> tell me if i misread this or whether or not this is an urban myth or country side myth in this case. but kenya is building a wall the entire length that have border. >> the wall's construction has already begun. and yes it is one that many feel that is going to stop the flow of peo

we haven't forgotten what is happening there in kenya. we will come back to it as soon as we get more information. we do want to turn to one of the deadliest attacks in yemen since the saudi-led military operation began. an explosion killed more than two dozen workers at a dairy in the port city. >> there are conflicting accounts about whether this was an air strike or rocket fired from a nearby army base. saudi arabia and its sunni allies have been bombing houthi rebel targets for a week. they're trying to end the insurgency by the iranian-backed rebels. >>> turning to syria now and thousands of innocent lives are at risk after isis took over several parts of a palestinian refugee camp. it's happening right on the doorstep of syria's capital, damascus. this amateur video claims to show smoke rising from the yarmouk camp where isis militants are fighting other rebel groups. the u.n. says some 18,000 people live in this camp and are at extreme risk of death, further injury, and displacement. it's calling on all parties to protect civilians

>> they are attacking kenya because kenya went into somalia to attack them. but we must look at where all of this started. they went into kenya, because al shabab can come into a country and kidnap tourists and able to take tourists into somalia and demand for ransom. and obviously this is not good for the economy. because kenya is a country that's very dependent on tourism. it has affected the economy because we can see that it's issued by countries like the uk and australia which are obviously hurting our country. because our country is an economy that's really really dependent on tourism. >> has the president done anything more to try to improve security? >> one of the missions that the president say when he talks. he talks about putting more police into the police force. he utterly gave the recommend to the inspector general to see that 10,000 policemen report for training tomorrow. and then as kenyans we say that's a good step to take. but the problem is that we can address the issue of getting more policemen. but also the issue of how this is going to c
