>> announcer: this is al jazeera. ♪ hello and welcome to the news hour, i'm julie in doha with a top stories, as rebels in iraq attack on a new front from the capitol but they are fighting morning themselves for iraq's second biggest city. argentina's president will not give into extortion over her government debt. and the first percent can be worth tens of millions of

dollars. ♪ rebels have taken over large parts of northern iraq and are fighting for control of another town. this time just 60 kilometers from the capitol, fighters attacked north of baghdad overnight and occupied several neighborhoods and driven government troops out of two other cities and control northern iraq in the western border into syria. there are a number of different groups who have joined together to fight the iraqi government. the islamic state of iraq and its goal is the creation of an islamic state linking syria and iraq. sunni tribal fighters are involved in offensive and then we have military officers during

former president's sudam hussain's rule and they have trained the younger generation to fight. and stole is the publisher of the news letter in politics and he joins us and thank you for joining us on the program. we are hearing reports now that all these various malitia who have got together to fight the government are now turning on each other, apparently they are arguing over who is in control, was that always going to be inevitable since different groups have different goals? >> well, that is absolutely inevitable. so the most radical and also the most important is the i'd lackic state of lavant or isis or isil and that is a jihad group and they are with one you mentioned

or the army of the men of the way, this is the kind of neo baptist group led by a former deputy to sadam hussain and isis is jihad and they both want power and will fight malacki and you have the islamic army and 1920 brigades and these are left over groups from insurge when u.s. forces were in the country and the islamic army want an autonomous region and they want to over throw the government and have a totalitarian state and isis wants to have an islamic one. they will stay fairly united as

long as they are fighting the government but once they take control of an area it's very hard for them to get along. >> it doesn't look like they have been fighting with the momentum and they are now pretty close to baghdad and the iraqi army doesn't seem to be able to repel these attacks. >> reporter: well, or they can repel them and then they move them to another place and they are obviously short of units because they have five divisions, four army divisions and a police dedivisions completely desin grated in the north and were sunni and they successfully repelled the attacks and used the good units, and do have good units and move somewhere else and trying to reenforce the north which is to the west of mozal and then the insurgents can move to where they vacated. so the government is in a

position because it is not effective at counter insurge they can lose some territory here and go somewhere else and attack. >> do you think the iraqi government is going to be able to recover from this? u.s. officials have been talking to malachi trying to encourage him to be less sectarian in leadership and his credibility is shot now, isn't it? >> reporter: well, his credibility is completely shot. but there are a couple of different aspects to this. one is the concept of malachi or the prime minister being a national leader and that is shot with the sunni population and he lost that some time ago. no question about that. beyond that he has a credibility problem as a competent leader. take for example the way he has been shuffling around the same failed generals from one part of the country to the other, the commander, the operations commander was a general and

malachi had in various positions and not successful at any of them but he is an shi in the south and malachi liked him and had to remove him after he was disintegrated and he has the joint forces commander and he moved from position to position, never really before very successful at them but malachi is in the military and the people he appoints is based on who he likes and coup-proofing the regime as opposed to building a competent, professional military. >> thank you indeed for your thoughts there and he is speaking to us live from aman in jordan and we will go to iman who is in baghdad and tell us about this latest take over and not far from baghdad at all. >> reporter: that's absolutely correct. what we are hearing is sheer malitias went into a prison and

killed 63 people which most bodies have wound up in the general hospital there. they are said to be sunnis. now this comes just a day after isil fighters released pictures of what they say were 1700 iraqi army soldiers that they killed. those numbers, the isis claim of 1700 are disputed but it looks and feels like there is a renewed offensive going on from the sheer malitia certainly there. >> and thanks for that and this was from baghdad there. now at least 30 ukrainian soldiers wounded in fighting with proseparatists in the east and kim has more 20 kilometers from the russian border. >> reporter: a market building just on the edge of the market. we are told in this town more than half the population of

around 20,000 people have fled and here is why. this building has clearly been hit. you can see the steel door has been blown off and if you come with me inside we are told that this building was a general store. the people here say it's only luck that there was no one inside this building when it was hit. if i can sort of lay the scene a little bit you can see just the likes of safety pins, cut -- cutlery and household items and they are unsure who is responsible for the attack and some people believe it was separatists fighters for using sort of grand rocket missile launches. other people believe it was the u ukraine army and they found the buildings on fire and not just this one but another building on the other side of this market and we are told

homes have been hit as well. so i think this really shows i mean the effect of this conflict on real people. the reason they have been hit or involved in this conflict in any way is that it is so close to the border, 20 kilometers there about and that border is the scene of force fighting today because the troops are battling to regain control of that border because they say they believe weapons, personnel tanks are coming over the border to help is separatist fighters cause. >> israel continues to round up suspects in the west bank for three missing teenagers in the fifth day and blame hamas and 200 people arrested since friday and 20-year-old shot monday during a confrontation with soldiers and during raids on soldiers and scuffles. the gaza strip has air strikes on tuesday caused extensive damage to homes. the strikes were as a result of

rockets fired from gaza strip into its territory. al-shabab killed in a second attack and happened in an area not far from the location of the first assault which was on the coastal town. 48 people killed in sunday's attack and many are watching the football world cup and it's not far from the tourist area of lamu which orders and borders somalia and we are live there and how are people coping with the aftermath of that attack? >> reporter: well, we could really sense the on going feeling of insecurity here. whoa visited earlier people in the house behind me, in that house 14 people, 14 men were massacred the street here and there was one family, one man that was spared, the woman and the mother in that household was telling me last night it was quite scary and the kids

couldn't keep any sound and startled them and feel there is no police presence, any security presence here despite visits of vip to the village and it's not just here but surrounding village's where the police are saying 8-10 people have been killed in new attacks and al-shabab claimed responsibility for attacks and saying they managed to kill 20 people mainly security forces. >> that new attack that took place just a short time after the one in pakatoni, what is the government saying about these t attacks by al-shabab and security regulations? >> this morning we saw the interior minister and inspector general, the top police inspector general who had been sent by the president from nairobi to the village and hear survivors and accounts firsthand and getting on a helicopter and flying to the new areas where

attacks have been taking place and refused to comment on the on going situation but when they were speaking to the ordinary people they were very clear political under tones in their remarks and say they replaced the police commander of the county and urged kenya to stand up for their country and the minister sending a clear political message saying there are those who would like to see kenya turn against each other urging restraint against the people because that is the concern, the on going attacks could possibly instigate retaliation. >> thanks very much for that in pakatoni in kenya there. coming up, on the news area a colara awareness team where an epidemic is showing no signs of going away. egypt orders release of an al jazeera journalist who has been on hunger strike for months and portugal sees red and facing

germany at the world cup. ♪ now, argentine is refusing to budge over billions of dollars of debt and she says she won't pay up despite losing an appeal at the u.s. supreme court. and this dispute dates back to argentina's financial collapse in 2001 when it was unable to pay debts and saying $25 for each spent and hedge funds known as hold out investors refused and took them to court to get the money and they failed and have to pay $1.3 million in cash. >> translator: i think you need to distinguish what is a business and what is extortion. i think these two concepts are completely different.

all the government and all the country and directors in the area of government and policies need to be open to negotiations and no president in a sovereign country can subject the government and people to extortion. >> joining me from london is an international law specialist, good to have you with us. this has been quite a long running case, hasn't it, since 2001, what does the decision mean for argentina and does it have to hand over $1.3 billion? >> the context as you point out is quite lengthy, there is the collapse of the argentina currency and as a result they faced an on slauth of claims by investors and private investors with a result there are dozens of outstanding judgments. the simple point is this, the u.s. supreme court decided on monday evening the lower court was right to require argentina

to pay out what you described as the hold out at the same time paying out people who agreed to accept 25% of face value of the bonds and the hold outs were to be full face value and interest and the supreme court decided that the courts were entitled to go to banks to new york and disclose the whereabouts of assets held by argentina in their other accounts with those banks anywhere in the world and those are the two points from the supreme court judgment. >> sorry to interrupt you, seems a little unfair that the court judgment seems to be rewarding those hold outs as we are calling them, the ones who refuse to restructure the debt, that is what happens when there is a debt, it gets restructured but this under minded that concept. >> well, that is the position of the argentina government and bond holders who comprised 93%

and agreed restructuring in 2005, 2010 but ultimately we need to look at what this is about. this is really about a contract, a bond instrument which contains provisions for payment and it contains provisions for jurisdiction pursuant to bond struc strucks -- structures and waived the enforcement measures and said insofar as argentina was making a claim it did not exist because it's based on american from 1976 which is reflected in virtually every other country in the world and the contract that argentina signed up for and they will be more careful to what they sign up to and may be ramifications because the government position was supported by the u.s. government. the u.s. government participated in the proceedings and urged the u.s. supreme court court not to allow the process which the bond holders, the hold outs were

seeking to enforce because of ramification for u.s. international relations and no doubt for the financial markets. >> and finally what is this going to mean for argentina's economy because they have been in debt for a very long time now. >> meet ll lly -- immediately in the stock market dropped 10% and they have been trying to negotiate settlements for its debts and the likely scenario here is the hold out and bond holders will chase argentina across the world but likely a settlement process like the other debts that they owe as a result of the financial crisis. >> thank you very much indeed for joining us live from london there. >> thank you. >> south sudan colera with 37 deaths and 1700 reported cases sin the out break in may and with no proper water treatment

facilities or sewage system people are vulnerable to the disease and that is particularly the case in duba where they sent this report. >> reporter: the cholera is in full swing and with raw sewage running down the middle of the street they have their work cut out for them and they peer in the murky water and the problem is clear, there is no municipal water supply in duba and most families get the water from the river nile. >> there is no water here because some people just putting everything in water, some bad things, that is why these is like this. >> reporter: this one donated by u.s. aid and tanker drivers told us power cuts shut down the pumps most days causing long delays. so many come here to river banks to fill up inside.

duba is growing so fast but the primary drinking water supply is what it has always been, the river nile. but that river is also a source of cleaning water, industrial water and it's used for waste disposal. it's quicker, cheaper and unicef hands out chlorine solution to thousands but many locals are too poor even for this. he is recovering from chlorea with special doctors without borders clinic and tells us sometimes i buy clean water but sometimes i just can't afford it so the sudan government says lack of resources and return to internal conflict has stalled plans to fix the problems. >> when there is poor hygiene because of the not well managed sewage system, the population will be definitely affected with this kind of disease. >> reporter: in duba town raw

sewage pooled behind buildings runs into channels that feed the nile. newly-built sewage oxidization ponds charge fees for disposal and are already too small for one of the fastest growing cities in africa, with these conditions chlorea will keep coming back, i'm with al jazeera in duba. relatives of dozens of asylum seekers killed off christmas island in 2010 launched a legal case of australia and the government was at risk at sea but didn't do enough to prevent deaths and mostly people from iraq and iran were killed when the boat crashed into rocks and going to australia by indonesia. >> with the arguing that on the evening in question the government knew that there were boat arrivals coming to christmas island in the midst of a storm and that there were vulnerable men, women and

children on the high seas in danger and did not have a worthy rescue service on christmas island and therefore people died as a result. >> frankly i think this is a shameful and offensive claim to be making. sure, people have the right to bring cases to court. we are a free country but have to be accountable for the claims they bring. the men and women who served that day showed a level of bravery and sacrifice that we have seen only on rare occasions and the response of the people on christmas island and australia was also extraordinary and for this claim to be brought in this way today it is beyond be belief. >> they ordered the release of el-shamy and he has been in prison since august without charge an ordered him to be

released because of health reasons along with 12 other people and al jazeera released a statement following release and say this is a relief rather than cause for celebration and he has been through a terrible ordeal for ten month assen he wants to spend time with his family and recuperate and he be back in action doing the job of journalism which he so clearly loves and the court will give verdicts next week of three others in egypt and they have been in prison for 171 days falsely accused of supporting the band of muslim brotherhood and his parents are hopeful he will be released and they have been speaking to him in the use of australia city. >> are you hopeful 12? >> we know a verbal -- a

verdict in a week's time and we can see the light at the end of the tunnel and it's getting a little bit brighter. >> i do take it as a positive sign and clearly first of all someone wants to see this matter over after it has been running nearly six months and when you look at the case overall anybody with even passing superficial knowledge of the law would realize that there can only be one verdict and that is a complete acquittal. so, yes, i'm certainly positive and can't wait for next week to be over. >> remind us again what the last six months have taken on you and the family. >> a dreadful time, a dreadful time and anxiety and a lot of stress. this being now in the sixth month. we have to be quite open and say that tempers are frayed and patience has gone and tolerances

are being stretched. but that is the way it is. it has been extremely hard and of course it has been getting harder day by day as we have approached yesterday's hearing. >> do you expect to be celebrating this time next week? >> we do expect to be hopefully celebrating. >> i have to remind myself and others that we have learned to expect the unexpected and therefore by nature being someone who contingency plans i am also allowing for a range of possibilities. >> reporter: that date 23rd of june for the verdict there. now there has been flooding in italy and everton is here with the latest on that so what is going on in italy, everton? >> over the last few days there is rainfall in italy and led to widespread flooding and rome and

there are big downpours here and central parts and into the balkins and that is an area of low pressure, stuck in a similar area for the last few days. so in the last 24 hours 60 millimeters of rain will fall. over the last three days, 147 millimeters of rain in rome. so that is a huge amount of rainfall. the average for the entire month of june 37 millimeters so it's around four times the monthly average rainfall and this is what happens when you see this kind of rainful, widespread flooding as a result of that. look at tuesday, remainder of today, more heavy rain coming across a similar area through the balkins and stretching bulk area and romania and ukraine and then wednesday more heavy downpours across a similar area and further rain coming from

corsica and central italy into the balkins and beyond and into thursday as i'm afraid yet more heavy rain to come and you don't like this but we have warm weather to come across western europe and madrid is 31 celsius. >> thank you for that. u.s. secretary of state john kerry called to protect oceans from the effect of climate change and hosting a world summit in washington and the effect of climate change can be seen in the multi-billion oyster industry in the pacific and we report from hawaii. >> reporter: there is no debate about climate change monday the oyster farmers of america, for almost a decade oysters in the northwest have been unable to form shells, the ocean is too ascidic and melts it away from their bodies, and this is a surge in the earths carbon

and it's causing a rise in water temperature. no one is immune from the effects of climate change and oyster have difficulty forming shells and in hawaii coral is having problems forming reefs. both corral and oysters need calcium carbonate to form the skeletons and the warming waters are. >> it's likely the elevation in temperature will push the organisms above the temperature threshold and do not function were well so it's unclear which of the two evils will get there first but we will get there. >> reporter: the oyste reshgs hat -- oyster hatcherys are here and

program but the crisis in iraq. secretary of state john kerry had encouraged the encounter. >> we are open to discussions if there is something constructive that can be contributed by iran, if iran is prepared to do something that is going to respect the integrity and sovereignty of iraq and the ability of the government to reform. >> reporter: both u.s. and iran said after the meeting no joint military actions were being considered and the u.s. says iran can do more to pressure prime minister malachi to be more politically inclusive and one analyst close to the government says the u.s. needs to do the same with its own allies in the region. >> this can only be solved if u.s. puts pressure on these regimes promoting sectarian, religious and racial hatred, which country or region it comes from. >> reporter: others suggest tehran will engage with washington with an eye toward

its own strategic interest. >> they will on the side start talking but as i said they understand something different under the cooperation and the american would understand something different. look, there are those in iran who claim that the americans are supporting isis, so come and convince those people that you need to cooperate with the americans. >> reporter: and even though president barack obama has ruled out sending u.s. troops back to iraq, war ships are in the gulf ready to evacuate americans. on monday evening protesters gathered at the white house to make obama keep his word. the spreading violence across northern and central iraq alarmed officials both here in washington and tyran and they do not have diplomatic relayings they are willing to overlook at

appears that for all the bad blood there has been between britain in the past and the united states, towards iran, a country that thought they could never do business with it it suddenly seems the enemies enemies is now their friend and see isis and iraq as a greater problem than iran and you do wonder what all the ramifications of this might be, particularly if iran is going to play now with the west, what do they want in return, for example, i mean, you know, sanctions are the biggest problem they have got and load to the protests against the embassy three years ago and what does it mean for the nuclear program and do they want softening in the west and william heing is -- william hague is speaking. >> he is speaking but not about what we are interested in, the opening of the uk embassy but the partial opening of the iran

embassy in london so, yes, relations are certainly moving at a pace but as you say the uk and don't see eye to eye on everything. we look at syria and as you mentioned the nuclear program. >> reporter: yeah, clearly these things are going to clear and if britain wants the embassy in iran they will have to give back diplomatically so they can have a relationship between the two. and your points since you mentioned syria it seems to me the western countries now are so being led by events and they found themselves in these extraordinary difficult situations where now it appears that they are prepared to support an shite government and a sunni one in iraq and they are support agree sunni insurge that is backed by iran and that is no

position for anybody to take but are being led by event testing. and you do wonder if things move in this direction that they are at the moment who is actually going to come out well or badly out of this. it seems to me the person who will come out best out of this is program president assad in damascus because he says the fighters in iraq are talking to syria and if you look at the sweep of the middle east and a country that is worried about what is happening at the moment is israel because they long wanted the west to be on their side against iran and what happens now? >> indeed and they are still waiting for william hague to speak but the written statement and basically he said in the written statement that what they wanted and main priority was assurance that their staff would be safe and secure and condoent -- confident they could carry this out and william hague will

game. they can survive if they have top talent to sell abroad and have seen a string of names move on financing a production line that end up in national team colors. >> translator: without our youth program we have nothing, it's the young class who give us money to grow our club and talent is the most important thing for us and find it in belgium and work with them and hope we are successful with some of them. >> reporter: with a 1986 semi finals and the best world cup performance to date this could be the time for the team to go where nobel -- no, belgium has gone before. >> the update is on the air at 1540 g mchl t and futboler of the year freddy is our special against. the l.a. kings has a trophy through the streets of the city and 300,000 fans turned out to see the team that beat the

rangers 4-1 and had 43 years without winning hockey's prize but won it twice in the past three years and that is sport and we will send it back. >> thanks for that. and this started being 1 cent is now expected to fetch as many as $20 million at auction in new york. the british gianna, 1 cent stamp was issued in 1856 and it was printed in a british colony and not in the uk because the ship bringing new stamps was delayed by storms. 17 years later the last surviving stamp was discovered by a 12-year-old boy who was apparently an avid stamp collector, at the start of the first world war the stamp ended up in switzerland after being bought by an austrian count and after the war ended it was

seized by france and auctioned in 1922 and it was the first world war referation and 60 years later it was bought for a million dollars and kept it locked away and now the well traveled stamp is the holy grail by stamp collectors and back on the market and we report. >> reporter: this is a historic building and could be considered an old fashion hobby but after more than 100 years in existence the new york collector's club attracts collectors like 14-year-old muller. >> i like things unusual. >> reporter: going through sheets of stamps exposed him to new people and places. >> i almost think of stamps as little tiny travel, time travel devices because it's such history contained in these little items.

>> we have the membership application. >> reporter: stamp collecting is not what it used to be back when franklin roosevelt was a member here but draws people for lectures and the president says things have changed because of the internet. >> as a child growing up in new york my family could not afford to travel so i traveled by stamps, okay, and i got my first views of the world through this. today you go on the web and you could get magnificent views of the world and look at anything. >> reporter: back in the 1930s there were literally hundreds of stamp dealers the street here in lower manhattan and now there is just one retail storefront in the entire city but there is hope that an up coming auction will generate interest for a new generation of collectors.

s they are going to sell the world's most valuable stamp the british one cent magenta and a 12 year old boy discovered it in a pile of letters in 1973 and set a record every time it has been sold since. >> for young stamp collectors and me as a child the idea that a 12-year-old could discover the rarest stamp in the world, one of the most valuable single stamps and one of the most valuable objects in the world always excited us and we thought we could do it too. >> he is fascinated by the stamp even if he cannot afford it, i'm with al jazeera, new york. >> stamp collecting not boring no matter what everyone says, don't forget more news on our website and the address is al jazeera.com and that is it for the news hour team for here in doha and from all of us good-bye
