relations between rwanda and tanzania have soured. it sees this as another sign of aggression. not the first time they excelled refugees or foreigners from their land. the latest evictions come at a time when the relationship with wanda is at its worst. >> we should never, ever give up. that is one of the messages that 64-year-old shared with a cast of onlookers today becoming the first person ever to swim from cuba to florida without a shark cage. it comes after four previous attempts that had to be abandoned. reports now on this historic feat. >> the final exhaustive strokes by marathon swim taken in enthusiastic crowds she has made it from cuba to america. no wonder she looked dazed. she swam for almost 53 grueling hours. but this is her extreme dream and it is finally reality. >> you should never, ever give p. you are never too old to chase your dreams. >> when the swimmer plunged into the water on saturday in havana she first tried swimming from here to america over three decades ago. she failed. but this time would be the last. >> perhaps it that was knowledge that this w

who talked about the struggles the people of tanzania now face because of beer drought and dried up rivers the loss of these glaciers. we all know the prime ones can remind our mountain when we can the highest point in africa. several years back we have a lot of snow on the mt kilimanjaro that used to melt down to the parents community with that. put up the mouth and that's where the youth. good there what are and you know we know we may now the ones that create water in africa they have to go for the water they have to go for they have to grow the polluted i think i've had eighty percent of the women that grow the food and even the infant so we see that climate change has become a very big problem in the sense that what that women would like for example if they had to go right. to create water now those streams have dried out and now they have to go even to pick their water contrary to what the front groups funded by the fossil fuel industry would have you believe climate change doesn't just mean that the winters are milder or the parts of the planets have more carbon dioxide it me

and then came kenya and tanzania, those bombings in 1998. more recommendations, and any sense of outrage that nothing had been fixed? >> well, i wouldn't say outrage. the report is very careful not to focus blame on any one individual, but it does highlight all of the shortcomings. it raises points about waivers for security standards. one of the things that came out of the beirut bombings are the inman standards, and those are to increase security at diplomatic posts all over the world. bobby inman had recommended they rebuild several embassies and make them more secure. set them back farther from the road so they're not vulnerable to truck bombs, similar to what we saw in beirut. one of the things that you get out of this, 13 years later, after those recommendations, many of them were ignored. and approximately 15 diplomatic posts around the world met those standards, and many of them still don't meet the standards. i wouldn't say outrage, but concern. >> and as a result, what happened in tanzania and kenya, two of those didn't meet the re

many of these concerns have been raised. 15 years ago simultaneous truck bombs exploded in kenya and tanzania. shortly after the ra tacks the state department hired an independent firm booz allen hamilton to analyze security risks, new and immediate need to create a new position, an undersecretary, who would oversee security. secretary of state madeline albright approved the position but it has never been filled. secretary kennedy approved the temporary post in benghazi despite security concerns. >> because of the importance of benghazi and the development of the new libya, we had to have a forward office there and visits by ambassador stevens. >> the latest report describes kennedy's office as too large and the too complex and root cause for the confusion at the headquarters level. by describing benghazi as a state department facility, exposed personnel to an unacceptable level of risk. this new internal report concludes that benghazi has demonstrated yet again the vulnerability of u.s. facilities around the world. josh bernstein al jazeera washington. >> if you want to read those documents

embassy in kenya and tanzania. more than 200 people were killed including 12 americans. shortly after the attacks, the state department hired an independent consulting firm to prepare a classified report analyzing overseas security risks. the report cited an immediate need to create a new and high-level position, an undersecretary to oversee diplomatic security. then secretary of state madeleine albright approved the position, but 14 years later it's never been implemented. it's been handled by the office of undersecretary for management. kennedy approved the post in benghazi despite serious security concerns. >> because of the importance of benghazi and the development of the new libya, we had to have a forward operating loekdz there and we had to have visits there by ambassador stevens. >> reporter: the latest report describes kennedy's office as too large and complex and appears to be the potential root cause for the confusion at the headquarter as level. by defining benghazi as a temporary facility, the state department avoided security standards, which exposed perso

embassy in tanzania. the cyclic, the islamic courts union is dismantled. -- basically, the islamic courts union is dismantled. somalia returns to the civil war, and ethiopians are then committing rape, murdering civilians, rendering people back to ethiopia, and it becomes an utter disaster. what ends up happening is al- shabaab, this group of relative nobodies, that were on the periphery, they say we will be the vanguard and we will take up arms and defend somalia. they started mixing together the ideas and rhetoric of osama bin laden with a somali nationalist politics and they ended up getting a tremendous amount of support because they were the only people fighting. what happened there, and this is incredible, osama bin laden tried to take credit for the black hawk down incident in the early 1990's. it was a complete lie. he had nothing to do with it. osama bin laden tried to take responsibility for it. >> u.s. soldiers were killed, as well as thousands of civilians. >> thousands were killed. it is one

the questions have been raised. 15 years ago, simultaneous truck bombs exploded at the embassies in tanzania and kenya, 200 people were killed, including two americans. they hired want consulting firm, hamilton, to prepare a classified report overanalyzing security risks. an immediate need to create a new high level position, a secretary for security. and then secretary of state, madeline albright, approved the position, but it has not been implemented. it has an handled by the secretary of management. approved by secretary kennedy, who approved the outpost in benghazi despite the security concerns. >> because of libya, we had to have a forward operation there, and we had to have visits there by ambassador stevens. >> >> reporter: the new report describes kennedy's office as too large and complex, and by defining benghazi as a temporary facility, they were able to avoid security standards, exposing the staff to risk beings. it has demonstrated yet again, the vulnerability around the world. >> certainly, there's a lot of history involved, and joining us is phil reese, from aljazeera. give us

there was the bombing in tanzania, what is your reaction? to what you've been seeing, hearing over the last four days now? >> well, first of all my heart goes out to the kenyan people. my reaction was two things. the personal one hearkening me back to the 1998 and being part of the team working on that issue. but certainly the change intactn tactics from al-shabab. there was a sense that they had weakened, and clearly what they were doing was regrouping. we have a tendency always to declare successes a bit too early, i think. the think the kenyan government is grappling with that a little bit now by saying that they had secured the mall when things are still going on. but in general as a policy we tend to declare victory a little early. they were able to blend in up until the time that they actually tried to take the mall. how did they do at a? >> in costumes? >> yes, how did they do that? secondly, they learned from the boston marathon bombings. clearly some of them came with changes of clothes so they could leave along with some of the vic

from mongolia to mexico, tunisia, tanzania, governments and citizens are working together to improve the rule of law, reduce wasteful spending, organize public campaigns to strengthen health and education. unfortunately, though, what we're also seeing is a growing number of countries that are passing laws designed specifically to stifle civil society. they're forcing groups to register with governments, eroding human rights protections, restricting ngo's from accessing foreign funding, cracking down on communications technologies that connect civil society groups around the globe. in more extreme cases, activists and journalists have been arrested on false charges, and some have been killed. we're also seeing new and fragile democracies cracking down on civil society, which i believe sets them back and sends a dangerous signal to other countries. so, in recent years, the international community has stepped up our support. two years ago, some of you recall, we came together to launch the open government partnership to promote transparent, effective, and accountable institutions in par

the embassy bombings where all of the car bombs exploded outside of the embassies, and in kenya and tanzania and we just have to keep working on it. >> syria, another troubled part of the world. right now though there's this active initiative under way to get the syrians to give up control of their chemical weapons. what affect, if any, do you think this has had on the iranian government which seems to say it's open to doing something about it? it's nuke collar stockpile? >> well, if it's true, it's good news, and i think the syrian effort offer chemical weapons has -- in and of itself because we will not have chemical warfare in the 21st century but the larger hope is that once syria and the russians get a transparent international arena that they will help us preserve the peace process in syria. because you can kill a lot of people without chemical weapons, and that's what we're worried about, all of us who have hated this, and not just the americans but people all over the world and it looks to me like russia may have recalibrated what it's national from was and what say i don't say in sy

which was hiding, the ones who were responsible for the '98 bombings of our embassies in nairobi and tanzania. they were basically undercover hiding in somalia. and they lifted their head, i would say essentially hijacked the al shabaab movement. so the islamic course union always had moderate elements, civil society element, and more radical and extreme elements and these became the militant, military wing of it. >> rose: what would you add to that eli? >> well, i would say that at this point what we know is that al shabaab has followed the pattern of a loll of al qaeda related groups. which is that they have proven gruesome in the ability to cause these mass casualty attacks. we saw similar kind of thing from al shabaab in uganda in 2010. but they have failed to translate that into a program where they could participate in a coalition government or even govern their own territory, particularly well. they came under enormous scrutiny for exacerbating the famine in somalia in 2011. i think that lost them a lot of sport among somalies but at the same time they have proven that they are are cap

. >> yes, in '98 in tanzania and kenya, but there was also a 2002 attempt to shoot down israeli aircraft in mombasa. then you had the bombing at the world cup in 2010 in uganda, an american citizen was killed in that as well as a number of ugandans. and i think that, you know, if you look at the past two years, kenya has been deeply involved with somali politics, funding warlords. i traveled with a kenyan-backed warlord who had brand new military equipment given to him in the summer of 2011, and then kenya staged an invasion of parts of southern somalia. and i think al shabaab has seized on this idea that kenya is a puppet or a proxy for the u.s., and that's really the message that they've propagandized. >> what does it say about the state of al qaeda or global jihadis in 2013 that this attack happened, that it's coming from possibly somalia? it seems to me like it's the situation which we smash one or disrupt one network and they seem to pop up somewhere else. >> right. something interesting is that when i was last in somalia in the summer of 2011, the head of al qaeda in east africa wa
