>> tech know, every saturday go where science meets humanity. >> this is some of the best driving i've every done, even though i can't see. >> tech know. >> we're here in the vortex. only on al jazeera america. >> this is al jazeera america. i'm tony live from new york. president obama met with lawmakers. tough questions for g.m.'s ceo. she said she will change the g.m. culture amid many recalls. many are skeptical. a stunning upset defending world cup champion spain eliminated from the world cup.
6:01 pm
>> president obama met with congressional leaders to discuss the crisis in iraq hours after iraq asked for assistance. >> iraqi has officially asked for the help of the united states. according to the strategic framework agreement between iraq and the united states to help in the air raids against the strategic targets for such groups in order to break the psychological situation that exists and to help the iraqi military forces to eliminate the danger of these groups positioning themselves and hunkering down and start defeating them. >> this comes as the islamic stathe's islamic state in iraq and the levant attacked iraq's refinery today.
6:02 pm
al jazeera's omar osa la with more on today's refinery attack. >> i spoke with one person who works at the refinery, and basically at noon this day the staff was at the refinery and were asked to leave. the fighters of islamic state in iraq and the levant as well as other fighters are controlling the refinery. officials around the refinery said 75% of the refinery, including the production unit is under the control of rebels. now the government is refuting all of this. they say they're in full control of the refinery and they repel the attackers and they gave the number of dead around 50 to 60 attackers were killed in the assault on the refinery. these are the reports we are hearing from the two sides. the situation remains really
6:03 pm
unclear. >> as we mentioned at the top of the program congressional leaders went to the white house this afternoon. they met with president obama to discuss how u.s. should respond to the crisis in iraq. randall pinkston is in washington for us. any word of what's coming out of that meeting? >> well, we do have some word. first, a statement from the white house. the meeting lasting just over an hour. the president meeting over the leaders of the house and senate. senate majority leader harry reid, how speaker john boehner, mitch mcconnell and the leader of the house pelosi. they discussed with what he's doing in iraq and specifically the efforts the administration is make to go try to respond to the threat from isil to come together with a sense of national unity. one of the republican leaders issued a statement indicating
6:04 pm
continued agreement, and many blame the president for the crisis. >> chuck hagel, and general martin dempsey were on capitol hill for a budget meeting, but they get to answer any questions about budget there. what was happening there. >> there were a lot of questions about iraq and what the administration was going to do about it. the hearing became heated when one of the committee meters accused the administration of losing the battle in iraq when he decided to lose u.s. troops. >> it was not the united states who lost anything. we turned a pretty significant situation over, as you noted, for the very reasons that you noted, to the iraqi people when we phased out of our military involvement in iraq. and so we have done everything we could to help them.
6:05 pm
but it's up to the iraqis. they wanted to manage and governor their own country. so i don't we should assign the blame to the united states for this. >> secretary hagel and general dempsey both say that the responsibility for the losses iraq has faced lie mostly at the feet of the prime minister nouri al-maliki, and his failure to bring the nation together. >> randall pinkston. thank you. the british government said 400 british are said to be fighting with the isil group. dane if a lewis joins us from london. dana, have british authorities made arrest of national who is fought inside syria? >> reporter: well, in fact, tony, there are reports today
6:06 pm
that in fact, they have made some arrests. it is said that in the past 18 months, 65 people were arrested here in the u.k. for activities in syria, and 14 british nationals had passports taken away from them to prevent them from traveling to syria. it is unknown how many u.k. nationals have fought in iraq for isil. in a broader question here it is still very murky to understand why the iraqi army didn't choose to stand and fight the militants last week when they went into mosul. >> just three short years ago there were 200,000 strong. a new iraqi army which cost america $25 billion to equip and train. suddenly they appeared to crumble last week when isil forces rapidly seized several iraqi towns and cities, estimates vary widely from five to 10,000. >> a few hundred men in pickup
6:07 pm
trucks. the iraqi government forces ought to be able to defend it. >> but they didn't defend against the rebellion. and iraqi divisions appeared to evaporate. four in mow cull, 12 in kirkuk, and an estimated 60,000 soldiers laid down their weapons and vanished. iraqi prime minister al and or say there is more to it he has fired four top commanders. security forces say the one who is escaped isil may have been bribed. others, many of them sunni, fell discriminated against by the maliki government. and then they criticized the maliki government and replaced
6:08 pm
sunnies with shia holy spirit. >> that can be laid at prime minister maliki's door. >> the assault by isil some believe may have been engineered in part by former commanders in sadda saddam hussein's regime. last year posted videos vowing to destroy what he termed al maliki. it may only help fuel what is rapidly becoming a sectarian war. >> al tried to say today there is no sectarian war or conflict between sunnies and shias although evidence seems to strongly contradict him. but he did appeal for iraqis to unite at his national address. >> in london for us, david, good
6:09 pm
to talk to you. iraqi prime minister nouri al-maliki has been criticized for failing to unite his country. this has been a major factor in the offensive by isil. we look at what can be done now to change the situation. >> when islamic state in iraq and the levant captured mosul, the world woke up. sunni hard liners had the iraqi army on the run. but iraq's crisis had been festering for years, and isil could count on the support of a wide range of sunni tribal leaders with long lost faith in prime minister nouri al-maliki. >> he has turned out to be a sectarian-shiite leader marginalizing the kurds, marc marginalizing the sunnies,
6:10 pm
alienating the kurds, alienating the sunnies. >> driven in exile under saddam hussein fight to go preserve iraq's unity against supporters of the old regime and terrorists, many who have a safe haven over the border in syria. but mr. maliki is coming under unprecedented criticism, not just at home but also abroad broad. in london, oil executives gather to discuss the iraqi situation, and the mod i mood is solemn. most of the people here want a peaceful united iraq. many of them are worried that the country is, in fact, in danger of breaking up. this man was once the united states ambassador in baghdad. he sat down with nouri al-maliki many times in the past. if he could do so again right now what would he tell him? >> act immediately to repair relation world trade cente
6:11 pm
re--repair relations with the kurds and reach out to the sunnies. this is not meeting halfway. he'll need to take initiative and d take it seriously. >> is iraq in trouble. >> iraq is in serious trouble. >> the history of violence between sunni, shiva and kurds with little compromise. outside intervention above all from united states and iran has rarely been helpful. mr. maliki may succeed keeping the rebels out of baghdad, but national interest could be prove more difficult. >> the libyan government demanded the right to try the
6:12 pm
man who is being held on the u.s. navy ship. the u.s. claim he masterminded an attack that killed four americans including ambassador chris stephens. ukraine's president poroshenko has offered a peas peace plan but it is not clear if the pro-russian followers would accept the peace plan. >> he did not speak about any prerequisites about the peace fire. and he said he would like the position of separatist in terms of their willingness to negotiate peaceful resolution he would like to have their
6:13 pm
position on that to be defined. also on tuesday a very damning report from the u.n. in the east. documenting increasing evidence of abductions, detentions, torture and killing. it goes on to say there has been an escalation of this crisis. it's no longer public figures that are targeted but spreeingly civilians are when they took over the administration buildings they have list of activists who are very much pro-ukrainian and those activists were being harassed or intimidated. >> history is threatening to repeat itself in afghanistan. the presidential abdullah abdullah accuses his opponent of cheating research my he. we have more new from kabul. >> he said he has no confidence
6:14 pm
in the election commission here and he said he has noise. he told his observers out of election offices saying counting has to be stopped. he has called for senior election officials to step down. he said that the voting system has been systematically rigged against him, and the turn out numbers came out with after that second round of voting on saturday were exaggerated including the numbers in the rural area. this could throw into doesn't the presidential election process. we were expecting results in late july and the new president is supposed to be inaugurated in early august. >> we spoke to the program coordinator at the.
6:15 pm
germany marshall fund. >> ashraf ghani, he has done pretty well. he's done finance ministry, the overhauling the tariff system, the customs, coming up with huge public investment programs, and so the west is basically aware of some of those achievements. it's also aware of the dealing with ashraf ghani directly as the agreement he was the key architects. so for the west what matters is there theris that there is an
6:16 pm
election. it is legitimate and accepted by afghans and information. most importantly, that it--whoever comes in regardless of fraud or not, that there is a government in can ball that functions under the skeleton democratic rule. >> hard line fighters with al-shabaab claimed to killing 60 people. >> reporter: clearing the land to set up camp, these people fled to the forest after gunmen overran villages killing people and burning homes for two days. there are some 400 families from five villages here. this woman escaped with her four children.
6:17 pm
she said they could no longer feel safe after four people were shot in their own homes. there is confusion as to who is behind the violence especially after the government said that local networks were responsible. the group claimed responsibility. grievances over land allocation is common in ethnic groups in this part of the country. it's a thorny issue. peter said he managed to escape after gunmen took him and eight male neighbors in the bush. he found the others shot dead and their eyes gouged out. >> they spoke to each other in somali. they told us this is the land they should live. they asked for specific homes and names. >> who is behind the attacks the gunmen terrifically asked about people's religion and ethnic background. it was quite a rough ride trying
6:18 pm
to get to this remote spot in the forest. the path was bumpy and covered with trees. imagine what it must have been like for people who had to walk from several villages miles away. the people were fleeing with whatever they could carry. emotions ran high as space remained limited. >> not everyone could get a ride. dominick and his pregnant wife and family have to wait. >> we have been hide in the forest but armed men speaking the language we don't understand are still out there. we have to leave. >> the government has promised improved security but for now there is little sign of that here. al jazeera, southeastern kenya. >> the ceo of general motors was back on capitol hill today, and this time she needed--she really heard from families who died in her company's defective cars.
6:19 pm
and a look inside one of the detention centers where the federal government is warehousing hundreds of underage migrants.r
6:20 pm
6:21 pm
>> the federal reserve talking about interest rates and the economic outlook, ali is the host of real money here on al jazeera america. good to see you. what came out of the meetings, please? >> well, exactly what would come out of the meetings. we predicted that the fed would pull back its bond buying program which is basically done every meeting. you remember there was a point in which the fed had been pointing $85 billion a month into the financial system. it was buying up bonds in exchange putting cash into the system. cash, by the way that some argue is printed up and bad for the economy. it would put money in the economy. that greases the wheels, if you will. it keeps interest rates low.
6:22 pm
that promotes borrowing. we see car sales shooting up in the last few months. the fed did that. it took another $10 billion out. it's putting $35 billion into the economy. still putting that money in. it says its keeping interest rates near zero where they've been for most during the recession and recovery. listen, the fed does t two things. it's meant to keep unemployment low and promote spending. boy, you can understand as you know well, tony, this is a very delicate balance. the fed is saying things are improving. the rates will stay low. expect your rateing to up
6:23 pm
sometime next year. >> hang on a second. so we have these reports last month. prices started to go up again. how long before we start to see rates start to pick up? >> you're right. we've seen prices go up across the board. consumer prices rose 2.1% in may. that's an is it-month number. the fed wants the inflation to be around 2% a year. we're seeing oil prices go up again. that might start to effect things, and wages are not going up. we've seen 200,000 jobs per month being created. you would think that would cause waging to up. we've seen wages that are still right now flat. this is a bit of a conundrum for the fed. janet yellen is not worried. everything should be okay. they stand ready to take action in the event that inflation is now too high for them. but right now it's well within the range. you're smart to think about the fact that inflation is the thing we have to keep looking at. >> what else are you looking
6:24 pm
at? >> i don't know if you heard about this, i was at the white house today. a whole bunch of makers and inventers of things wearing a badge of honor that people do make things. they do invent things. we'll look at the guy who founded maker fair. >> ali velshi, "real money with ali velshi" right here on al jazeera america. ali, appreciate it. for the first time u.s. customs and border parole i patrol is letting people see inside where they shelter children who immigrate every year. these photos mr. taken into nogales, arizona. one of the two facilities being opened up to the media today. the other is in brownsville, texas. >> it's difficult to imagine but inside the border station 500 children currently call this their temporary home. that is twice the capacity of this facility.
6:25 pm
now inside there are eight holding cells. none larger than a large bedroom with 60 kids in each of these cells. they're separated by gender and by age. they have no window to the outside world. all they can do is see in to their guards. as soon as we walk into a guard area a group of younger boys rush to the window. they push their noses to the glass. offer small waves, small smiles. some of them cried. the floor covered with children laying down. child upon child using each other as pillows. sleeping on thin mats under red cross blankets. some wearing parkas to stay warm. older girls no older than 14 years old taking care of younger babies. i saw an one-year-old in the arms of a 14-year-old lining the walls of this cell. some of the older ones.
6:26 pm
they appear calm, wide-eyed, gazy but you know up neath they're scared, lost. they're allowed out of the holding ceilings a half hour a day. they go to the showers and they're donated by donated clothing and supplies but notably the only toy i saw was a stack of copy paper and a box of markers. walking through you see the innocence coupled with the brokenness, and you know this episode will be a defining chapter in their child to do if not what ends their childhood all together. >> that is heidi zhou castro. the name washington redskins could soon be the name of the past. now the people in charge of tradition marks say that the name is disparaging to native americans. we will meet the youngest golfer ever to qualify for the u.s. open.
6:27 pm
6:28 pm
6:29 pm
>> boy, a big plow to the washington redskins. the trademark office refused to patent the team. john terrett with more on this story. >> reporter: you have to believe that somebody in washington, d.c. is driving this because we've had a number of very, very high profile people. >> yes, a lot of senators. >> the president of the united states. the majority leader in the senate coming out and talking about this and saying the name has to go. now we have a government agency which also says that the name redskins is inappropriate as a registered trademark. take a listen. >> the trials on appeals board at the patent and trademark office is stripping the washington redskins from their
6:30 pm
trademark. one of the native americans who brought the original case eight years ago said it's a great victory for native americans and all americans. i hope this ruling brings us a step close for that inevitable day when the name of the washington football team will be changed. but the team is not worried. the patent trade park office has done this a dozen times. the redskins got their trademarks back on appeal and they plan to appeal this time, too. this case is no different from an earlier case where the board canceled the trademark registration and where a federal district court disagreed and reversed the board. president obama said if he was a team owner he would think about changing it. majority leader harry reid is
6:31 pm
boycotting games and says the writing is on the wall. >> the redskins no longer have trademarks. they're gone. so as i understand the law presidin, if you want to sell a redskins trad trademark. >> 15 senators wrote to the nfl in blunt terms: >> now despite what the majority leaders said, i don't think much is going to change until the appeals court is over. the redskins will appeal this, and that could take very years. we could be mired in court for quite some time. they share the profits around the nfl from these merchandise
6:32 pm
sales. now the pockets of all nfl owners will be affected. this may be added weight. >> we'll take that up right now with a sports attorney. joining me now from chicago with more on this is sports attorney xavier pope. good to see you. i want to take up the point that john just mentioned. can i now print up my own rg3 redskins gear and sell it with none of the royalties going to the re redskins. >> take a look at it this way. there are tons of illegal selling, and they don't do much outside of the stadium. you could not necessarily do that without any repercussion. >> and am i right to say that league owners actually split the merchandising revenue, so might
6:33 pm
other team owners have something to say about this name now? because it could potentially hurt their bottom lines? >> that's a great question, tony. this is the nfl, probably the best of any professional sports league of protecting it's property. you may see other owners putting pressure on the redskins, however, the mark of the redskins is worth $150 million i don't think they're willing to give that up quick. >> this has happened before and the redskins won the case on appeal. what do you think of it sticking around this time around? >> that was 20 years ago. i think times have changed. you've seen gay rights being push for in this country. we have an african-american president. and 50 senators, this is a different climate we're in right now. >> so does this decision impact
6:34 pm
the redskins at all today or tomorrow? >> it will impact them as far as weakening their mark because they won't have the same pre-supplies under the law that comes with trademark protection. you're assumed to have ownership of a particular mark if they have a trademark. they don't have it, necessarily. they have to prove it in court in is this the beginning of the end? harry reid certainly thinks so. is this the beginning of the end of the red skin name being attached to that washington football helmet. >> this will be a long tight at the redskins would be digging in the heels but they may be a hog coming in. >> did you just fit that in? he rolled that in. the head of general motors
6:35 pm
returned to capitol hill to face tough questions about the delay in recalling cars with a defective ignition switch. the house committee hearing is the first to release th report. >> why the foot drag. is this typical of product concern, and how do you intend to change this? >> we already have with the way we're working through recalls today. we changed that process as expedited in the most senior levels of the economy are involved in it. although i don't want to do recalls we're going to do what is right for our customers and we're demonstrating it today. >> family members of those who were killed and injured, one victim said that g.m. must be held companyible. >> g.m. is a corporate person. as a corporate person must be held fully accountable for the
6:36 pm
corporate culture for negligence and apathy that caused the death of so many people. >> a new class action lawsuit against g.m. was filed in california. it said that golf course should compensat--it said that g.m. should compensate car owners for the loss of value of their vehicles due to ignition switches. chrysler received 32 complaints from drivers. ignition switches in grand cheeries between 2005 and 206 2005 and 2007 turned off when they accidently hit it with their knee.

promoting school girl clubs and massages and more is for sale. all within meters of the police. japan has long had permissiv permissiveness when it came to the permissiveness of children. simply possessing child pornography was perfectly legal. now. >> i think this is a very big step forward for japan but now we're in 2004. and if you look at other countries they passed this law a long time ago. we are one of the last nations to pass this law. >> the new law bans images of actual child abuse but does not prevent the widespread of young girls be they real or drawn. littered with depictions of sexual violence against young

6:40 pm
view. the normalization of such images can make it easier for a man to take it further in real life. while there are plans to fight plans to restrict his art, he encourages people not to draw anything that they would not show their children. >> georgia and missouri carried out executions last night. a third death sentence is scheduled for tonight in florida. neither of last night's execution has any noticeable complications. nine lethal injections had been postponed or stayed. in new mexico crews battling a wildfire are bracing for more wind. the blaze is 20 square miles along navajo grazing land. firefighters will be working against extreme heat and gusting winds. four structures have been
