♪ . >> this has not been a good day for the government of iraq. al quaida inspired fighters are sweeping through cities in the north, and threatening to invade the capitol city of baghdad. and this afternoon, president obama publicly ruled out sending in any more u.s. troops. an audio recording says the forces are marching on the capital, but security forces now appear to be putting up afight, they launched counter attacks and have launched ire strikes on targets. further north, the kurdish army says it has secured thousands of refugees though seeking safety are threing to iraqi kurdish stan. it has only taken a few days for the ruling government to lose nearly a third of the country,

and the i.s.i.l. is using political means as well as military forces to gain grown. reportingly handed back to sunni tribesman in an effort to turn the tribes against the shiite government in baghdad. >> a the latest is coming from the antiterrorism force backed by fighter jets are chasing filters from i.s.i.l. north of the creek. now sources are saying that the town is still under control of i.s.i.l. now, there's another development with regards to what is happening. you mentioned the tribal fighters so basically what we with have, there's a statement, and according to that, they call healthed the tribal fighters of iraq.

it says we liberated to create, and we are continuing this revolution until we liberate all iraqi cities. it is called on the iraqi people not to be scared and they promise them they will protect their lives, their public, the public property, and buildings. so it is a pretty strong development. you have a group that is determined to carry on, when it says the liberation of iraqi catches and cities. a senior member has blocked the state, of the block, told me over the phone that the situation is pretty clear, he said there is few political blocks within parliaments preventing the number of reaching the car rum, and that's why they are backing the events that are happening in moss

soul. according to this figure, he says they do not want to give more authority and power to prime minister. there are political figures that are collaborating with the isil fighters and former members of the iraqi army under osama bin laden. so it is pretty strong development correct correct sudan hussein. republicans want him to do more to help iraq, and to do it soon. more on the reaction, next. >> as recently as

tuesday. the administration is calling the policy one of the administrations greatest successes. now today, president obama is leaving the door open for direct view out military action. describing the situation as an emergency, american air strikes might be needed in the face of insurgence. iraq will need more help, from us and the international community. working around the clock, to identify how we can provide the most effective assistance to them. >> as the sectarian conflict bebecomes a crisis president obama lays part of the blame at the feet of the iraqi leader, a shiite for excluding sunnies from power. >> we have not seen the kind of trust, and cooperation develop between moderate sunni and shiite leaders. >> the president ended american military

involvement in iraq in 2011, since then, the white house has repeatedly described their policy as a success. today, the republican leaders scoffed. >> now they have taken control, they are 100-miles from baghdad, and what is the president doing? taking a nap. >> if i sound angry, it is because i am angry. >> others point to president obama's failure agree on leaving behind a small american force in iraq, for training and intelligence. >> i say to the president of the united states, get a new national security team in place. you have been ill served by the decisions you have placed and the decision you made. and have that new national security team come up with a strategy. >> credittics say lessons for afghanistan, have now come on the president to reconsider 2016 deadline for removalling american troops. >> what you see in is iraq is going to happen in afghanistan, at a faster pace. >> this has democrat

outlies rejecting critics and pointing the finger back at a republican president. >> if you want to talk about iraq and the opposition they have always had to our military engangment there, we have to go back to 2003. took us into a war on a false premise that they knew not to be try. >> the spokesman time and time again, emphasizing 1 point, no reinsurgent, ground troops are not going back into iraq, there will be no boots on the ground. >> at the white house, mike, thank you for that report. u.s. officials say three plane loads of americans are being evacuated from an air base in the north to escape potential fights. 12 u.s. personnel station there had were the first to leave several hundred men contractors are still waiting to go. they have been training

forces to use fighter jets and surveillance drones. governments in neighboring countries and throughout the region are keeping a close eye on the unfolding events in iraq. dana lewis is in london, and dana, what's the reaction you are hearing from european leaders? >> well, david, i spoke to a western diplomate here who told me this is "frightens" it is the complete free flow of arms and extremist from lebanon through syria, to iraq, and iran. and he said it is about to get far worse before it gets better. the region is crumbling to use his words. the u.n. is calling the displacement of refugees mas.sive, at least 300,000 people, many are now putting that number at 500,000, have arrived in the curd stan region. they have fled for their lives lacking none for food and water. and no idea where to go next, says the u.n., and people in iraq are now stocking up on food and fuel, even in baghdad, expecting the worse. britain is ruling ought any kind of military

involvement, foreign secretary william hague attending a ministerial meeting on northern nigeria here, reacted to iraq saying that britain will only help what the humanitarian situation. >> no, no. military assistance has been requested from the u.k., and we are not contemplating military assistance from the u.k. i commented this morning that we will consider -- we are considering what we can to to relieve the humanitarian pressures caused by the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people. that is something that the u.k. the provide. >> they need a political solution for iraq, for sunnies encouraged to work together, and he is clearly hinting of the frustrations within the iraqi prime minister, and the shiite government, which has done lit until the views of many people to reach out to sunnies in the country. and now, also, there are

statements from iranian officials that they have used the revolutionary guard, that is the iranian rev musician guard to help fight the isil. imagine being asked to carry out air strikes which could include the iranian national guardsman, it seems to get more bizarre as we go on here. >> many of luis never forget your remarkable reporting 11 years ago when we were at that other network, and there you were with with with troops as they poured into iraq t a the tile the fragile was with controversial, and that has dismantled the iraqi army, by dismantling the army, is this again coming back to haunt u.s. and british interests because we have been essentially having to rebuild them for the last several years and clearly the security forces as they exist now, are not ready? >> well, they don't seem ready, because they dropped their weapons and dropped their uniforms and ran off.

when we with went with into baghdad, in 2003, imagine then you saw the pictures of all the lewding that was with taking place, and the law lessness, and the fact is a lot of people were with saying where is the army, where is the police, and in the end, paul bremer, president bush's man on the ground, the top civilian in charge of iraq at the time decided the only way to deal with all of it was to fire them all, despite the fact you wouldn't have been able to survival if you were withn't a member of the party. and then america proceeded then to try to rebuild that fighting force, and you have seen them in action now, and it is a very good judge of how well we with did. despite some very good efforts it would appear they cannot fight, and guess where they all are? two colonels and the generals who were in the army at the time, have apparently joined those groups in the north, they are fighting with the insurgents and they can fight, they can coordinate, they can -- they have command in

control, they can take ground and hold it and that's what they are doing. he is expected to be flown to a military hospital in texas tomorrow. lisa stark is in washington, d.c. with the latest developments, and lisa, exactly where is berghdal headed. >> he is going to the brook army medical center in san antonio. that's the nationest largest impatient military hospital. he could be there for months can is the final faze of his reintegration process, he is expected in san antonio to get more help, medical help, if he needs it. also there will likely be a family reunion if that is going to take place. dr. elizabeth witchy is a former army psychiatrists, she spoke to us and said the whole

idea of this reintegration process is to allow berghdal, or anyone who goes through the process, to successfully resume their life after such a traumatic event. >> often prisoners of war have been held sometime for years. as in this case. they may have thought they were forgotten about, often thought they were dead, or were going to die, not that they were dead, but thought the chances of survival was very few. and once they leave that setting and then leave the decompression, they are going to face an intense media glare, and that can be very overwhelming. so part of the decompression process is both to get them back to physical and medical health, and then help them prepare for that reintegration. >> he could have an especially difficult time, because he was held so long, and also because of all the controversial over how he may have been

captured by the taliban. speaking of controversial, when chuck hagel testified and he faced some questions about why berghdal was spending so much time in germany as opposed to being brought back immediately, what's the answer to that? >> it was quite a testy exchange between the defense secretary and florida republican jeff miller, miller wanted to know why he was spending so much time in germany, and not coming back to the u.s. where he could be questioned about the circumstances of his capture. you are trying to tell me he is being held because of his medical condition? >> i hope you are not implying anything other than that. >> i am just asking you a question. >>ly give you an answer too. >> answer it. >> he is being held there because our medical professionals don't believe he is ready until they believe he is ready.

>> . >> obviously the military doctors in germany have now determined that he is ready to come back, he will be on his way. and he will be in texas tomorrow in san antonio. hagel did tell the committee members the lawmakers that at some point, berghdal will be questioned about how he came to be captured whether he did desert his post in afghanistan. >> ukraine's president today allegedly condemned an armed incushion into his country. three russian tanks entered the border crossing controlled by russian separatists prorussian separatist the minister says forces attacked the tanks. meanwhile, russia says lit amount gas supplies if the country does not pay off part of it's huge gas debt, by monday.

the opening game of the 2014 world cup is now underway. and the inaugural match, while there is plenty of excitement some media savvy protestors threatened to take attention away. sounds like the protections were a much smaller scale than people had feared. >> yes, there were a few dramatic pitches and it seems that it might escalate, what you have to remember is there's so much security, and so many police, and there is no chance of protestors getting anywhere close to the stadium. so they didn't happen around the stadium with the opening game was with taking place. it happen add few kilometers away. and were with controlled. but for a while, it looked like something that brazil didn't need, they didn't need any more protests. that have seen the way the public has been so

concerned about the cost of this tournament, such criticism of f exfa that appears to be profiting from this tournament. the situation now is about getting behind the team of the really important opening game, all over brazil people are watching and trying to get behind the team, but there's also bad news, because crow way sha -- if brazil were to lose, that could have a big effect on the public mood. there are many thousands here that are watching at the fan test, who are desperate for brazil to come back and get is that national mood lifted. again, brazil is down 1-nil at the start of the world with cup. coming up on al jazeera america, was eric kanter's appetite for steak part of his down fall? we will bring you the restaurant bills. and texas governor rick perry thinking about a 2016 presidential run may have to think again, after what he just said

beginning. >> yeah. >> it is like a new broom, sweeps good, then it kind of gets old. it doesn't sweep the floor that well. >> my message that i would like for people to understand, a lesson what they just seen happen surprised everybody, you're next. >> yeah. >> get your act together. >> yeah. >> or you are next. >> so pretty clear there that the guys were trying to send a message, mike and scott, they are also progun, they are anti-obama-care, and they are against immigration reform. they told us that they feel kanter didn't really fight those issues tough enough. what is kind of interesting is that these guys neither of them, know very much about david brat's policies or plans they simply said they were looking for a fresh face. to send to washington. that is 9:00 p.m. eastern, right here on al jazeera america. in today's power politics as both parties continue to try to desifter

meaning of eric kanter's primary losses, a new optimism is growing in democratic circles over immigration reform. contrary to conventional wisdom, chuck schumer is now saying the shocking defeat will make it easier to pass immigration reform this year. schumer went to the senate floor and said he viewed kanter as the biggest obstacle despite the occasional lip service to passing legislation piece by piece. >> eric kanter was never the solution on immigration. he was always the problem. evacuated time i talked about immigration reform in the last several months i consistently heard, that the house leaders wanted to move forward, and did not have kanter's support. >> schumer argued that republican leaders should follow examples set by senator lindsay graham, the republican co author of the senate immigration bill, the defeated a field of conservative challengers and avoided

add run off in his primary race this week. >> embracing and showing leadership on immigration reform, is a far better path to victory than running from it. particularly for republican whose are not tea party members. >> rick kanter's loss has brought renewed attention to the money sloshing through the system. particularly as it pertains to the locations chosening for political fund raidsers. quantitier's campaign and leader ship pack spent about $170,000 at classic d.c. power house restaurants including bobby van steak house and blb steak. by comparison his opponent, spent about $122,000 on everything in his entire campaign. now political strategists will usually tell you that half to spend money to raise money. according to numbers compiled by money line in the 2013 cycle all federal candidates have spent more than $400,000 at bobby vans steak

house. spending at chipolte was just over $9,000. in 2016, presidential politics helicopter continues her book rule out. unfortunately for her, she just made a remarkable gaffe about u.s. history, here is clinton in chicago talking about her race with barack obama in 2008. >> a senator from illinois, ran against a senator from new york. just as had happened way back with a senator from illinois named lincoln, and a senator from new york named sue ward. and it turns out the same way. >> actually, it didn't. lincoln lost that 1858 race, and by the way, lynn con, he was never a senator. oops. texas governor on the

republican side, drew grasps and hiss last night in san francisco. perry was asked if the commonwealth club which he believes six wallty is a disorder, he said it is like alcoholism. >> i may have the genetic coding that i'm inclined to be an alcoholic. but i have to desire not to do that, i and i look at the homo sexual issue the same way. >> people should still consult with real doctors before offering any expertise on this. finally to the current occupancy of the white house, we now have a better idea of president obama's plans immediately after leaving office. the president was with in a session over tumbler, and was responding to a question about his future. >> i know what i will do right after the next president is inaugurated,ly be on a beach somewhere.

drinking out of a coconut. >> given the congress has been trying to box with who can blame him. and that is today's power politics. the u.s. supreme court is siding with palm wonderful in a false advertising dispute. the justices ruled today while the lawsuit to go forward under federal trademark laws. the label on the beverage offered by coke is misleading, because 99% of the drink consistents of apple and grape jute. coke claims the lawsuit should be thrown out basketball the label complies with fda regulations. a turmoil is rattling investors. the dow lost 110 points. also saw big losses today. rescuers say an explore who was injuried in a fall deep inside a kay in the german alp is now well enough to be evacuated. it took rescues from

>> islamic state in iraq are calling for an assault on baghdad. the quite says lit help,

but state has ruled out sending american troops to defend the city. met to discuss the i.s.i.l. offensive urging baghdad to hold political talks as soon as it can. our diplomatic editor is there with the latest james? >> david, this was a meeting that lasted more than two hours of the security council. and what is pretty clear, is that there's going to be no been military response to what has been going on. currently, the russians chairing the secure council their ambassador came out pointedly saying he felt the roots of what had happened in the last few days were back in 2003. the u.s. invasion of iraq and he read this statement on behalf of the security council. >> the members of the security council expressed their unanimous support to the government and people of iraq, and their fight against terrorism. they stressed that all actions should be within with the constitutional

frame work and comply with the international community and law, and human rights standards. they strongly condemned all terrorist and extremist activities regardless. they also stressed the importance of national dialog, and particular opportunity for that will be provided because of the formation of the new parliament and the new government in iraq. >> but absolutely no action on the horizon. >> if there's no action, no peace keeping mission that is come hog are the major players that would have to step in. >> well, you node to look at those countries that have an interest in this, those countries that the iraqis might call on, the iraqis have allied who are in the region, and beyond the region, look first to turkey, because it has those 80 citizens of it's diplomates and drivers being held hostage. diplomates telling me they don't rule out a

command operation in the coming days and we know the turks are speaking to the iraqis about how they can help. also you have the irhinians. they have had a presence in iraq, much of that time it was covert, while the u.s. was there, but now they are actually using iraqi territory to send their fighters through iraq to fight on behalf the asaad regime. so they have roots in iraq, and the iranians could be involved if the iraqis ask them. then of course last, you have the u.s. 170,000 troops back in 2007, none at all now. but many on servers saying many diplomates here saying that really if the iraqi forces are going to push out of the areaing they are now digging in, they will need air support. i understand from diplomates that so far, the iraqis have asked the u.s. for drones, and they say that they also might

need other close air support, helicopters, and jets. of course for now answer from united states. >> international oil markets are worried as unrest threatened one of the world's largest oil nations john terrorist rett is here with more. >> thank you, let me first begin by showing you where the fighters are at this time. for that we turn to a very complicated map of the northern portion of iraq. you know they have saken out is second city. about the size of l.a., and they also in have control ofikrit, which is sudan hussein's old hometown. which is their home province, they are fighting iraqi forces to samarra which they were once in control of, and here in kirkuk the oil rich town, at the moment

the curds have taken over at the iraqi army fled. they should run it and at least now for the time being they do. now, oil, is the big problem, of course, in this conflict at the moment. that's who we are were withried about, and the isil fighters are closing on iraq's biggest oil refinery, and we with mind that in the city of beijing. if it hadn't moved on, and that's one of the rattling global markets of driving up the price of a barrel of oil by roughly 2%. now oil makes up over guess what, quite right, 60%. been there long enough, and baghdad has been hoping to increase it's output, from 3.3 million barrels of oil a day, to 4 million barrels a day of oil mining. but economists are warning if fighting escalates then oil could skyrocket to 130-dollar as barrel, and that will be very damaging for the global economy.

now, 17 pest of the oil fields are in the sunni and kurdish north and west of the country, these are the oil fields here, as you can see. but the curds control a pipeline, that runs from the city all the way over to turkey in the mediterranean, but the problem is that pipeline is always rusted and broken and won't be repaired any time soon. now iraq's largest oil fields are in the relatively peaceful south, which is controlled by the shiites and the port here offed the iraqi as chance to get their oil out by ship. now, if the fighting persists and efforts to much more oil from both the north of the country, and the south, will be hampered because iraqis hoping to help from companies like b.p., who is there, that could help be hampering as fighting goes on. a lost is resting on not bringing their fight with the iraqi government further south. david. >> john, great job,

explaining that thank you for coming in and doing that. joining us to talk about securing oil in iraq, he is a professor of international relations. his research focuses on energy security. first of all, you reaction to the forces moving oen this oil field. i think they were well equipped. they are hardened, experienced, so they have a lot of spirit going for them. spirit can only take them so far. they have a lot of epis and i think eventually, they are going to sow the seeds of their own demise. >> is the i.s.i.l. continues good stowe wards or bad stewards in they are just as interesting in profiting from them as anybody else, that would require a certain amount of care, do they have that kind of care. >> well, i think that so farther trying to sill oil, and in fact

electricity back to baghdad to make money. the problem is not that they want to sit on the oil, and keep it from global markets. or regional markets. the problem is that the biggest disincentive to foreign investment is political instability. in iraq, needs extraordinary amounts of foreign investment, in order to exploit it's oil resources. it needs big companies to want to come in there, and if there's all this strife going on, those big oil companies and national oil companies private and national, will be reluctant to go in to help iraq unlock it's oil resources and therefore, global oil markets are going to have to reschedule their idea of how much oil can come out of iraq, therefore pushing prices up. >> we saw that wall street, market fell by over 110 points today, was that a overreaction? do you think that's appropriate given the fears legitimate fears that people have about the instability in iraq?

>> i think markets tend to exaggerate oil problems sinks 1973, the world has created a lot of defense mechanisms against oil supply disruptions. obviously i can't go through all of them. we with have strategic petroleum reserves all around the world, but even more importantly, the saudis have spare capacity, they are turn that on it can be on the market in three weeks if they want to. and that will make up for the perhaps 1 million barrels per day lost from iraq due to this proses. the problem with oil prices is more longer run because of the investment issue. this is the dominating issue that we don't hear much about. but if iraq cannot be open for business due to political strife, that's going to cause longer term pressures on oil prices. >> and given those longer term procedure sures at what point do you think it takes for the civil war to take an

invasion -- i guess what i'm asking is what would it take to cause b.p. and exon mobile and chevron to essentially say okay, we are giving up on iraq again, because it is too unstable? great question. this is the crux of the problem. this problem began of course it's the united states led invasion, which didn't go well, but in 2006 we have the islamic state of iraq. it has created largely because the sunnies feel disenfranchised with with the led shiite government. so they are reacting against this disenfranchisement, the crux of the matter is that the malachi government needs to be pressured and this is a good crisis for the united states and international commutes to pressure that government to be more inclusive. if that government can become more inclusive, and if they can create frame works for governance that makes sense to the international community, businesses like exon mobile, and b.p., will see the future of iraq as more positive.

if this crisis lost in terms of the opportunity to restructure iraq's government, then that will create a much cloudier future, and those companies will be much less likely to want to go into iraq. great point, the theme of being inclusive what president obama was with talking about today when talking about the burden on the government. old dominion university, steve thank you for coming on we appreciate it. >> my pleasure. thank you. excitement is at a fever pitch in brazil, with the world cup is underway. you are looking live where brazil is taking on crow way sha. a tense situation there, the score right now is 1-1, crowds are gathering everywhere, to watch including in rio, where several games including the champion will be played.

tess what is happening now and the anxious in the rare because of the 1-1 with tie right now. >> david, it is a nail biting game, as you can imagine here. this is a huge gathering. thousands and thousands of brazilians out in the streets right below me. watching a giant screen, watching this game. ins a tradition here, that has gone on for 36 years. it began with a dozen young guys taking a tiny television set, down to the streets below, and it just grew and grew, and now up to 30,000 people come out here every time that the world cup game is played in which brazil takes part. this is just the fist one, people are incredibly excited, they are all painted in green and yellow. the colors of the brazilian flag. and something is happening, i -- nope, not another goal, but you can hear people cheering. but of course, in other parts of rio and the country, there have been protests as you know, at

least three over four police use tier gas to disburse some of them, and it happened as other cities throughout the country, the same thing has happened. there have been a lot of complaints against the amount of money that it has cost. but right now, it is the passion for football, that is predominating as brazilians watch this game every single second of it, hoping that their team will be the winner not just today, but at the end of the world cup a month from now. david. >> live in brazil, so amazing to see the tens of thousands of fans, can only imagine what they are going through, the score right now 1-1. territorial tensions are heating up between china and japan after a close call between fighter jets over the east china sea. china released this video showing japanese jets following a chinese jet on patrol, beijing says its pilots safety was
