first round and impressing everybody. so president obama, layed out today how the u. will respond to the crisis in iraq. the troops will not return to combat, but he did not rule out air strikes against the islamic state of iraq. >> going forward we will be prepared to take targeted and precise military action, if and when we determine that the situation on the ground requires it. if we do, i will consult with congress, and in iraq, and in the region. >> joins us live from the white house, the president says he intends to support iraqi security forces but he is drawing a very clear line here. >> if you look at what happened last friday, potential air strikes over the skies of iraq, and against those forces
4:02 pm
and today and see how far he has come, it is clear, tony that the president is further away now from a decision to launch those air strikes than he was when this first began unfolding just last week. a senior administration official on a background call with reporters not long ago, said we are not at the stage of preparing for air strikes. the president has not askedtous do that. now, what is the interim step, the if the is sending 300 "military advisers, into iraq. they will be based at the headquarters level, and at the brigade level. they are going to be advising how to fight, and they will be assessing the iraqi military capability in the fight against these insurgents. streaming out of syria, and in western iraq. the white howled also letting it be known, senior administration that they are now around the clock surveillance flights above iraq from both manned and unmanned
4:03 pm
aircraft. they are identifying potential targets. i have to tell you, the nuance is that the united states is further away from air strikes than they were a week ago. now, what is the united states core interest, president obama spoke to that as well. we have humanitarian interests in preventing bloodshed. we have strategic interests in stability in the region. all those have to be addressed. >> safe haven, that is with the united states is trying to avoided. safe haven for terrorists that could specifically strike the u.s. homeland. and another threat, very little confidence here, that was evidence any u.s. officials in the government to be more inclusive bring sunnies in to come to a political solution, if air strikes are going to be employed that's the this finning to happen. >> hey, mike, is there a concern that the 300 additional troops going in as advisers could end up in combat?
4:04 pm
>> the president said he is very cognizant of mission creep, if air strikes are going to go forward. so there's a great deal of concern, if it is deemed that way by military and security officials, her going to strike wherever they can. they are waiting for a political solution. to come to an agreement, a government still trying to perform there, before they launch any definitive strikes unless, of course, baghdad itself is under siege. >> your last statement indicates to me there is a broader strategic plan afoot here. mike, at the white house for us, appreciate it, thank you. there has been a huge debate in recent days over how much of a role the united states played in helping create the current crisis in iraq. i spoke with former main
4:05 pm
senator and middle east peace negotiator. he shared his thoughts on how it escaped and what we should do to end the offensive. >> the motion that conflict began with the quite, i think is plainly false. but ultimately it is the peel of iraq who will decide the future of iraq, the people of syria that will plan. egyptians who will decide the future region. we can help, we should encouraging, we should insist especially those, and there are many, who want more open, tolerant, modern regimes. who want governments that provide the basic services that give people opportunities. jobs. schools. healthcare. that's what people want. and we can do what we can to help. but we cannot view in as
4:06 pm
it is the responsible of the united states. to fix what is happening in iraq. we have to help the iraqis fix what is happening. president obama announcement comes as the fights continues on the ground. joining us now from baghdad. >> we talk about the fighting, has the government had any response to what president obama had to say today. >> no official response yet. but close to the prime minister says that iraq doesn't entirely relying on the u.s. air strikes. that m.p. says that the iraqi government has it's own plans to prepare it's military fight against the advancements of the rebels. forces and rebels are still fighting.
4:07 pm
what is the latest on that. >> well, the latest that the iraqi government forces managed to secure that refineries the biggest in the country. we also understand from sources there that the fighters or the rebel fighter whose are controlling that refinery, also withdrew. however, the refinery lies in the beijing town, that town is still under the control of the rebels. so they could attack it at any time. there is shore tat of fuel, gasoline, and fuel from power launched in the area. people there are really complaining. >> one more for you, i understand there is also fighting around telial per, which the rebels claim to have captures earlier this week, what is happening there. >> yes, well, again, the government sends huge reinforcements. they say they fear at least three areas. but the rebels are confirming to al jazeera
4:08 pm
that they are still in charge of that town. in fact, they are surrounding some troops in the aircraft. so heavy fighting indeed. it's not clear yet for the government will succeed. i don't think at this stage they have managed to do so. >> okay, for us in baghdad, good to see you, thank you. there is intense fighting in eastern ukraine today to tell you about. and a prorussian insurgent says the rebels are losing the battle it comes as russian president welcomes ukrainian president peace plan. as al jazeera reports now, it may be tough to implement. if president's peace plan is to work, it's places like here that he needs his message to be heard. the mean here say they come from a local area,
4:09 pm
but they met with the border. >> those who do choose here need to decide if they can be trusted. since his immigration, these beaches were elegant and beautiful, but he hasn't acted on any of them. it is understandable because his excellence is out of control from outside of ukraine. for those prorussian fighters that information, simply suspect getting through here on the front lines of the separatist militia. frankly, they don't trust the kiev government, and they say that they are prepared to continue to fight to the death. and an amnesty for fighter whose give up their weapons. but it also requires the
4:10 pm
border with russia to be secured. and it calls for a firm commitment from all sides in the conflict. >> there is an eerie calm in the town, in the evacuation of the wounded. but few here believe that guns will stay silent. >> the police chief is the only officer turning up for work. his own brother was abducted and there has been no since.
4:11 pm
security forces have killed five people suspected of being involved in this week's massacres. officials say more than 60 people were killed in attacks on sunday, and monday. the interior ministry says that other suspected attackers escaped. the group al sha bad claims responsibility for those, but kenya's president says local political groups and others carried out the massacres. israel search for three teenagers missing in the west bank turned violent today. israeli soldiers clashed with hundreds during an arrest raid in the west bank city. israel accuses hamas of abducting the teens. some people say the arrests -- al jazeera is there.
4:12 pm
but a unity which israel seems out to destroy. >> this march, the palestinian youth here was organized by hamas. a show of unity for the hamas members that have been arrested in the occupied west bank. israel sweeping arrests across the west bank is part of it's essential for three israeli teenagers have annoyed members of that unity government. but they seem powerless to do anything about it. >> i can't even tell what their mind. as we are a unity government. we just came in this position to serve our people, in that limited time like six months and after that he maz condemned the disappearance of the missing settlers and has
4:13 pm
called for restraint among the factions. but the israeli government says his words must be evaluated for the efforts to find the teenagers. it says the battle's real test is the dispanting of the agreement with hamas. >> it is obvious that israel is not interested in any kind of a palestinian consolation. in order to stop the process. >> hamas is neither denied nor claims responsibility for the disappearance, but it says it can only take what it describes as israel's aggression for so long. on wednesday night, two with rockets were launched from gaza into israel, there were with no casualty, no one with claims responsibility. israel responded with air strikes against hamas and the armed group islamic training grounds. no one was hurt. gas disa is bracing itself for a possible escalation of israeli attacks. there are fears of fuel shortages if israel
4:14 pm
closes the gaza border again, as it did last week. but there are no visible signs of tension, on the streets. after years of failed peace talk the international community has told israel to give a chance to palestinian reconciliation between hamas. as hamas rallies support, and israel continues it's arrests in the occupied west bank, palestinian unity is any break through seals as remote as ever. >> lisa star joins us now. legislation a? >> well, tony, kevin mccarthy was the clear front runner, and in fact, he has captured the number 2 leadership position in the house, the house majority leader, and the number three position also
4:15 pm
decided steve kalise, republican of louisiana. let me go back to mccarthy. he is considered a pragmatist, also consider as deal maker, he is part of the establishment of the republican party, conservatives not so happy about that. he will be the number two person in the house for the republicans. now, steve, he is a republican of louisiana. he takes over in the position. the number three position. this is more hotly contested. there were three candidates two of them conservative. one the tea party, really want pod get in on this position, because they were feeling disenfranchised by the leadership. they wanted to have some say, they will have it now, he also from the south, and southern
4:16 pm
republicans were feeling like they were left out, well, now they one of their own in the leadership role. so the new sect, and we will see how they move the agenda going ford ward. >> so what is the fist issue that the new house majority is likely going to have to grapple with here. >> i would say first and foremost, is immigration moment. moments after mccarthy was elected to that position, the pro immigration reform groups were already blasting out emails calling on him, to allow immigration reform to come up for a vote. he maz to walk a really fine line. he is from california, bakersfield, that's a district that relies heavily on farm labor, immigrants also more than a third latino. he has said that he supports not citizen ship for illegal immigrants or for undocumented workers i should say, but a path to some legal status. we will have to see what
4:17 pm
mccarthy does going forward, it has been one year since part of a defensive marriage act was struck down, the ruling set off a waive of legal challenges. now one couple in alabama is hoping their lawsuit will change the climate for gays and lesbians in is south. we have been together for 17 years and two yeared ago we decided to legalize our marriage. >> the alabama natives knew when they returned there would be prejudice. >> we are evaluated day people. we are your neighbors. we are your coworkers and we would be with sitting beside you at church as well, and get to know us and who you are. >> alabama does not allow same-sex marriages to be performed in the state. and does not recognize same-sex marriages from other states.
4:18 pm
but after years of dealing civil, and social discrimination, the couple decided to take action. we are seeking to have our marriage recognized. the lawsuit was filed on their behalf by the american civil liberties unity. i think the best case outcome, of course, would be for the court to declare that the constitutional amendment regarding marriage violates the u.s. constitution. and therefore is unenforceable. >> some point in july that's according to the aclu. at that point, they will likely begin in the awe tim, and we are told this could last up to a year. >> but stiff opposition is likely. a defend on the lawsuit, alabama attorney general luther strange, recently set. as attorney general, i
4:19 pm
will vigorously defend the definition of marriage, as between one man, and juan woman-p that had been the definition of marriage, and alabamaians overwhelmingly voted to incorporate it into our laws. unfortunately i think we have -- it certainly hopes with race, and is now happening with regard to gay marriage. that you can't legally be a parent to the child that you raised since day one that you don't have that right. >> the couple knows this is a uphill battle, they feel the time for acceptance for gay marriage in the south, a region that has resisted

4:48 pm
side, i still have questions. i still find disconfident when again, i am looking forked more certainty and assurity. the problem is there is no such thing as weeks ahead, even though they hit the pause button, they have made it clear that the days are numbers on how long this will linger. which doesn't bring comfort to me, but in the same token they express their urgency and their issues. those aren't my issues -- so it is the big community forum, they have been going civic group to civic group. just different little organizes talking to people, and inyou remember toking them, selling their product. tonight is a big community forum. we didn't hundreds if not thousands of people
