by i.s.i.l. in iraq and thereby giving the maliki government to stem the tide. >> whether the the state department orders nonessential personnel out of that country. has that happened in the case of iraq. >> they have relocated some personnel and the state department is stressing it's a minority of the staff. it's a huge embassy. not just embassy personnel, that might have to be evacuated, there are private contractors, americans, some 5,000 it's been estimated all over iraq. and that's part of the contingency planning here in washington. >> okay, mike appreciate it, mike viqueria for us in washington. mike thank you. if the u.s. has troops, plenty in the region to choose from. john terret is here to tell us

about it. >> first of all all the way into baghdad central, this is the new u.s. embassy, absolutely huge, as big as the vatican right now. they've sent middle eastern to try to get embassy officials out, sent to a secret and more carefree location as this continues on the outskirts of the city. at sea, assets that people will not likely see but will hear about. the president can call upon the fighter jets that are stationed aboard the u.s.s. george h.w. bush. and the philippine sea and with the philippine sea is the u.s.s. truxton, both of which are supply shiche ships.

in congress, several bases in afghanistan, of course, the gulf states like qatar, the uae and even, tony, saudi arabia. >> john, appreciate it, thank you. on i.s.i.l. fighters move closer to baghdad, a number of countries and international organizations are evacuating staff and personnel from baghdad. removing dozens of people from its baghdad mission. has the iraqi government had any comments from the u.n. and other groups around understand the moving -- and moving,. >> there is no potential statement but an mp told al jazeera that there are security concerns with those diplomats

and the u.n. staffers, and that forced them to leave. they acknowledge that. however that mp said she would like to reaffirm all the u.n. staff as well as all diplomats that the iraqi government forces are making gains and they will clear the situation within the next few days. so very confident tone here, that they will succeed in their attempt to root out all the fighters in different towns and city in iraq. >> so omar, a couple more questions while i've got you here. i.s.i.l. fighters took over the city of tal afar today. how significant is this development? >> reporter: it is very significant. this up to, tal afar, is to the west of mosul. and as you know, mosul is under the grip of the i.s.i.l. as well as other forces.

now, tal afar has a special nature because it is a predominantly shia turkmen who live there. there are also sunnies. both sects are fleeing the fighting. i.s.i.l. say they are in control of more than 95% of that town. however, the government said, that these are all rumors and government forces are in full control of this town and that government reenforcements have arrived in that town. so very -- too conflicting reports about the fate of this town, tony. >> let's pick up on the movements and the strategy of the iraqi military. we understand that it launched air strikes against i.s.i.l. fighters today. do we know if those strikes made any difference at all? >> no, we don't.

because for simple fact, the main cities are still under the control of the i.s.i.l. fighters and other sunni rebels. the government, though, is adamant that they are clearing towns and villages. they say towns and villages within salahidin province were cleared. a spokesman says around today, 150 fighters from i.s.i.l. were killed in different strikes. however he gives locations of those attacks and he tells you how widespread this crisis is. he says it is in the north of the country, in the east of the country, in the west of the country and in the parameters around the capitol, bagz. it gives you -- baghdad. it gives you the sense the government is trying to turn the tide against the forces.

however we cannot independent reply verify the government's claim or the rebels' claim, tony. >> omar al salar, good to talk to you omar. hundreds of thousands of people have left their homes in the wake of the i.s.i.l. offensive. al jazeera's hodah abdel hamid has the story. >> huge loss for the central government. but it translates into more people on the move in the country. now, most of these have arrived from tal afar. they tell you stories about how they crossed the desert walking, how they hitchhiked. they are waiting to get into the kurdish region maybe not to stay there but to move further on. the pressure is too much for the

kurdish government here but this is at the moment the only safe room for them. the kurdish sector has been assessed, but in unprecedented levels you can go in whether you are sunni or shia, the wade is long. all over the borders of the kurdish region you see people arriving from tikrit or wherever there is a fight. a huge crisis. >> egypt has ordered the release of abdullah al-shami. , the only one who has been held without any charge. roxana saberi joins us with the story. >> he has been held without charge for more than 300 days,

prune gas comes from russia. supplies there shouldn't be hurt but ukrainians are tired. they saw supplies cut in 2009 after a similar spat, and believe this should be quickly solved. >> i think they will manage to negotiate and find some compromise. maybe it will not satisfy everybody. but at least they will be some common agreement. near obliged to find one, but you can't do without gas. >> translator: gas is good but they use it as a political tool. it's not acceptable. >> reporter: moscow says it is ready to return to the negotiating table but only after kyiv pays its debt in full. but as a conflict in the east runs on and finding a compromise could be difficult. kim vanel, al jazeera, donetske.

emanuel, good to see you. thank you for your time. can we dive into a little political speak? and you can help me out. what do you think secretary kerry means when he says washington is open to discussions with tehran if they can help restore some confidence in the iraqi government? >> it might be that secretary kerry is warming up to the notion that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. the problem with iran is the he be my of my enemy has been killing my friends in the region for years. and the enemy of my enemy has been fomenting and making the problem of iraq much more severe than it should have been -- >> right. >> -for quite some time. we could go on for a long time with this play on words. it has given tactical support e.

there are allegations by the syrian moderate opposition that i.s.i.s. or i.s.i.l. fengd what acronym you prefer, has been getting support from the syrian uniquely. so the notion there is some sort of -- regime. >> the notion that the cries in iraq could bring united states and iran together, flies in the face of all this evidence. >> good to hear you say all of that. how do you see america's options in iraq right new is let me pose this to you, doing nothing, allowing iraqis to figure this out for themselves, is that an option? >> what we need in iraq today is a show of u.s. leadership which

regrettably hasn't been much. largely delegate to others the management of its own interests in the region, the results is what we're seeing. >> manuel, what would represent in your mind would represent u.s. leadership in iraq right now? >> leadership to address the urgent military crisis would require a considerable use of u.s. military force is? >> ire strikes? let's drill down, air strikes? >> air strikes at the very least to block the i.s.i.s. forces, a very small group of fighters could take over mosul which was defended by two divisions of the iraqi army. that tells us one thing -- >> about the iraqi army and probably their willingness to fight correct? >> well it does say something

about the state of play of internal politics in iraq which in turn would require u.s. leadership to impose more inclusive government structure that does not stoke up the sectarian division he inside iraq but tries to actually soothe these division he. >> which iran you would have to agree had a hand in creating that government that was behaving in a dictatorial and sectarian way, correct? >> iran had a huge role in creating that sectarian division in the country. it supported shia militia throughout and occasionally gave some support to sunni insurgents. so iran played in a very shrewd, ruthless and cynical factions in these divisions and again, one looks at the iranian role over the years, one should recognize that it is very unlikely that we could find any kind of common ground with iran to solve the

cries i. >> so air strikes, what would you suggest, so far as boots on the ground? >> well, the united states should restore some presence in -- military presence in iraq. >> why is it the united states responsible responsibility to do that? i'm not suggest it is not but i want to hear your thinking. >> the united states whether we like it or not, the guarantor of middle east stability. the united states has vital interests in the region and it is not in u.s. interests to see iraq become a larger and even bloodier version of the syrian civil war. the united states has a duty to intervene to ensure that this doesn't happen. >> what is it that you think the united states can do, to unhinge the sunni divide that's been in

place for centuries now? >> well, again, the united states can first of all provide help to block, to solve this military threat. and in the longer term, it can reassert leadership and try to coax the different elements of the iraqi state to find a more inclusive and peaceful way to address the divisions that have beset that area. >> for centuries the divide has been there for centuries. and you're saying it's a failure of u.s. leadership now to build a bridge between a divide that has been there for centuries? >> listen, i can tell you as a european or a continent that has fought endless bloody wars for centuries on the most profound and complicated divisions, it is possible in a generation, with u.s. leadership, with economic prosperity, with the rule of law, with democracy and

participatory politics to overcome those divisions and create something that is more workable. >> emanuel, thank you, senior fellow at the foundation for the defense of democracy. joining us from washington, d.c, thanks. israel says three missing teens may not be found for a while now. benjamin netanyahu blames palestinians from the kid analysis. about 150 palestinians have been arrested since the kidnapping. jane ferguson has the details. >> the be palestinian family that lived in this house say israeli soldiers came at 9:30 on friday evening. they blasted through this hallway and then came in, the entire family were here which included a lot of children. the eldest son of the family was

travel up to ten miles for emergency care. >> we see the university hasn't showed its care about black life like president obama has. damien was shot but ahad to be transported across town for treatment. >> he was alive when i put him in the balance and less than five minutes he was gone. >> burn unit and other world class medical services but currently the hospital says it just doesn't have the money or staff to add a level 1 trauma center. the medical center says it supports surrounding neighborhoods and serves more medicaid patients than other chicago hospitals. the university argues, it is separate from the hospital and doesn't think it's fair to link the library to the trauma care

issues. it says, community members support this project because it has the potential of being an economic engine and culture disaidges. a study found the library could pump $200 million annually into the city and some of its struggling neighborhood $. dr. philipp verhood wants a trauma center and thinks it is something the president would have supported as a community organizer. >> he spliet been side by side in saying university of chicago you need a trauma center because that's what's right for the community. >> the protesters say other sites in chicago might be more appropriate for the library. but not the sites in a neighborhood where they say other needs are greater. diane eastabrook, al jazeera, chicago. >> and then there's this,

university of hawaii has put its proposal to build a presidential library. the library would be easy to access to honolulu and transformer to a culture center. they could be living to hundreds of years old, but first they need ohatch. the new efforts to save them. them. >> tech know.

>> we're here in the vortex. only on al jazeera america. >> florida officials have spent more than three decades trying the help sea turtles come off the endangered speciou specious. they are particularly vulnerable when they are newly hatched. government efforts have so far failed to improve the sea turtle

survival. natasha guinane is here natasha. >> awful assignment isn't it? threatening imprisonment, it's because they don't want people tampering with the sea turtles. a couple of nights ago under the moonlight, we watched how one of the sea turtles came in and laid eggs. 350 pound loggerhead sea turtle is destined to be an absentee mother. return here to nest year after year. her first act to protect her off spring by burying her off spring in the nest is at a end. >> sea turtles just lay their eggs and they're gone. >> the odds are about as bad as the odds at a las vegas casino. they range from 1 in 1,000 to 1

in 10,000 that a hatchling will survive into adulthood. one of the biggest obstacles isn't mother nature, it is man made. >> lighting issues. >> they use the light of the ocean to fight their way. bright lights from beach front properties disoriental them. that's why city of miami beach enacted a sea turtle nesting oranges. led lights along the beach front walk and require beach developments do the same. >> make sure they close their shades, those small changes can make a big difference. >> there is no state law mandating sea turtle friendly

lighting. the sea turtle conservancy is pushing for a state law. >> people think oh no, that is not going to give me snuff light. we have a -- enough light. once we convince establishments to given it a try, people realize that you actually can see better in this light and it looks very pleasing. >> in the last five years, conversion to sea turtle friendly lighting has increased, helping the population to rebound. since 90% occurs on florida beaches, the future of sea turtles in this country depends on what happens here. so tony, you heard in my story that there's a really wide range in terms of the survival rate. the reason is because we just don't know how many male sea turtles are. apparently they live their lives

out at sea, eating, swimming and looking for females. no? >> okay, i think i can relate. okay. natasha, it is fort lauderdale, for goodness sakes. people are watching world cup all over the world, but how are they watching it? and first, iraq's prime minister has vowed to take every inch of property i.s.i.l. has seized. being ray suarez. >> it is unclear what a u.s.-iranian partnership would or could look like but the pressure on prime minister maliki is mounting. his sectarian style has yeanlted

would call it is taking off in the u.s.a. let's get real here. when the american football championship all met up it was you know over 100 million tuned in for super bowl. the last world cup of the audience was over 24 million. that's not a figure to be embarrassed about. but certainly in my experience i've lived here for three world cups in the united states. it is still on the fringes. it is picking up amongst young people, amongst certain demographics, make makes it fairly popular here. growing incrementally. but still not as popular as the big 3. >> is there a sense that look, it's still one of the fastest growing sports in the united states, soccer, you call it football, and mma fighting, are two of the fastest growing sports. but definitely on an upswing witwhen you talk to folks abouta

soccer during this world cup season? >> i think it very much depends where you are. if you are in miami, if you are in new york, in los angeles, populations that are extremely interested in watching the world cup. if i was in rural oklahoma right now, i might be asking me, are you watching the world cup? it's depending where you are. if you go back 20 years to where the united states u.s. hosted the world cup, it hasn't changed in 20 years but, a lot of those sporting broadcasters will be watching and the audiences should be up and they are certainly investing millions of dollars and theepg that sport grows. of course in miami you've got people like david beck hawm who will be launching his own team.

but a lot of enthusiasm from what i'm seeing. >> andy gallagher, from correlate gables, florida. ines is back with that. >> you could have been watching the germany versus portugal. in an area where they are allowed to bring their living room furniture if they want to. in lisbon, robin writes, giant tv has sprung up all over the tv and people all milling around. this is in mexico, some construction workers here, they have made this table out of a wooden plank here, the television set, right here. in mexico city, enrique pena
