straight through that... >> 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 thomas drayton in new york. let's get you caught up on the top stories of this hour. a strong show of force by she item militia in -- shiite militia in baghdad as insurgents take more towns. we look at the political forces at play in the region. [ chanting ] here at home americans take to the streets protesting military involvement. >> in a manhunt for a soldier

who went on a killing spree. good to have you with us. we begin in iraq where sunni rebels claimed more territory. fighters from the islamic state of iraq and levant are in control of two more turnings and the biggest oil -- towns, and the biggest oil refinery. the iraqi army says it will fight back. back at home president obama is laying down conditions for any u.s. military strikes. today protesters across the u.s. took to the streets to say no new war on iraq. omar al saleh has the latest from baghdad. the parades held at sadder city is one of the biggest by the

mahdi army to defend iraq and the holy shrines in the islamic state of iraq and the lef anted. there were -- levant. there were thousands armed. that parade is causing concern that this could be the beginning of a brutal sectarian war. on the other hand a spokesperson for the general military council for iraqi military fold al jazeera that their fighters would not lay down their weapons until their calls were met. >> according to the philosophy of military conflicts political solutions are the way of sorting them out of the the revolutionaries can only give up their wopons after a -- weapons after achieving the goals which they revolted from:

while the fighters are represented by the spokesperson says they want to topple the regime and their other goal is to achieve their goals, those goals are a fair representation for sunnis and end of the marginalization against this community. when it comes to the i.s.i.l. goals, it is to establish an islamic calafat and there's a clash of ideologies, because they clearly say that we will not - we do not like to fight i.s.i.l. but i think a battle between the two could be in the making if or when both sides manage to succeed to topple the regime. two ideologies are different. the tribal fighters are made.

also other islamist forces with clear different ideology of that from the i.s.i.l. >> the fighting around the oil refinery is causing shortages. in iraq's northern city, people have been lining up for hours to buy gas. we have this report. early morning and people are on the way out. angry people block the road. they had been waiting for hours at the petrol station in vein. tempers were so high that warning shots fired by security forces couldn't dislodge them. >> the governor said he'd solve the problem and provide fuelly 7 am. selling to odd and even licence plates on different days. i parked here by night. i haven't been act get fuel. >> for the past few days there

has been long queues. we measured one. those that made it to the pump got 30 litres, the current limit imposed by the government. many the stations shut down. it started after the refinery came under attack. it provides oil for domestic consumption. and accounts for a quart are of the country's refinery capacity. >> the stand up at the refinery had an impact. now people are angry because wherever you drive here you see the fuel tankers. they are bringing oil to the refineries, people are angry. they say everything is for export. hundreds of truck drivers transport crude oil to the refineries. >> it is not because we have not enough fuel in kurdistan. i think personally some of

people here they are - some businessman, they are misusing the situation. we have the pipeline and it would be no problem for kurdistan to have gasoline. many blame the local corruption for the crisis. >> we are sure they have a lot of oil, but the stations won't give it to the people, only special cars or people they know. and they go to mosul and sell it there. >> the regional government says the influx is due to the iraqis. they have two chaisest choices - -- two choices - wait for hours or pay five times the price on the black market. >> here in the u.s. demonstrators took to the streets in more than a dozen cities, calling on president obama to avoid military

intervention in iraq. >> president obama giving an interview to m.s. m b.c. recorded friday due for transmission on monday, in which he calls on the iraqi leadership to pull politics together. the secretary of state john kerry is going to the middle east and to europe to discuss with allies, local and international politics as they pertain to iraq right now. meanwhile across the united states on saturday. protests from people fearful that the u.s. will be sucked into a wider war in iraq. as they say it has before. >> antiwar protests outside the white house. the president sending u.s. forces back to iraq. the real danger is mission creep. >> we are here in front of the white house to say to president obama that people don't want another war in iraq. they elected president barack obama to get out the iraq, not to go back. >> we are trumping the will of the iraqi people who do not want

the u.s. there. and the troops should stay in the united states, that they shouldn't be deployed to iraq, and that the best way that the u.s. can treat iraq is to allow the people of iraq and the middle east to decide their own identity. >> if they use forces it's continuing the division between the people who see aleky. then it seems -- nouri al-maliki, then it seems that they have powerful people backing him. >> reporter: the white house is the focus of antiwar protests because the commander in chief is based here. right now they have organised war. scenes like these inspire protests, polls suggest most americans don't appear to be paying much attention in iraq. >> 12 americans send combat troops to iraq. we were surprised to find out

46% of americans support air strikes. >> the survey showed 24% of americans are not following event in iraq. 41% think an i.s.i.l. victory would matter. they found 52% think it was a mistake to get involved with iraq in the first place. >> that is the sentiment here outside the white house too. keep the number of americans sent back to iraq as low as possible and don't get dragged back into a full-scale conflict. once again that was john terrett in washesz. >> the u.s. will not put a major deployment of u.s. boots on the ground in iraq. clearly those people are not so optimistic. we invite you to stay with us. in a few moments we look at iraq in the region, and the key political players in the crisis. now to the ukraine crisis.

vladimir putin ordered large-scale military exercises, putting ace forces in -- his forces in central russia on combat alert. it comes as a ceasefire is ordered again-russian fighters. we go to paul beban, who reports that separatists are not paying plans for peace. >> reporter: separatist fighters have been given a week to surrender and amnesty. these vowed to fight to the end "until my last breath, my drop of blood", they chanted. they number 100. among them, this 19-year-old, a former ukranian army trainee. prepared to fight against his former comrades. >> i don't know what to tell you. maybe it's my upbringing. i can't watch it.

i will do everything to help my land and our people. >> the separatist leaders rejected the president's accuracy fire before it began. but their options are narrowing. until recently this man was an elect member of the kiev parliament. now his separatist rhetoric means he's a wanted man stripped offed parliamentary -- stripped of parliamentary immunity. i'm appealing to the international community to stop the war. what is happening is in the south-east, when they use planes, canons and tank, it's not right. not once has the government sat at the negotiation table despite we repeat that we are ready for negotiations. >> president petro porashenko is taking a tough line, and says those separatists who don't accept his terms before the ceasefire end will be, in his words, eliminated. he criticised the offer as more of an ultimatum, and the pro-russian militia are not

ready to surrender. >> i can't tell you what will happen. we are not laying down our weapons, we'll continue to fight. the things we are fighting for are sacred - our land, values. with rising music from the -- rousing music from the speak ertion and rhetoric from the podium, there's no sense in giving up. it's a mixture of existing recruits and new recruits willing to go to the front line. as they march away the crowd is with them. pope francis went to the heart of italy's mafia to announce the ex-communication of the mob. the won't was in calabria, a rural area in the southern part of the country after visiting the family of a child killed in a shoot-out he condemned the evil path of organised crime. >> under a scorching sun, the pope arrived to deliver his

strongest attack on the mafia, in the heart of their own territory. this was a mass, he also delivered a speech saying that the mafia clan that thrives here was the adoration of evil. the church had to do more for the common good to prevail. will the pope's words make a difference. some believe that the mafia are too powerful to be challenged, and have, on occasions, infiltrated the pope itself. >> earlier he visited prisoners, and comforted the imprisoned father of a 3-year-old boy killed after being caught in a local mafia shoot-out. it was that tragedy that prompted the pope's visit. he had this message for the prisoners, who he urged to repent. >> i want to express to you my personal close possess, and that

of the church. to all of the when and women in prison in every part of the world. >> they have been preparing for the visit for weeks, many suffering first hand the violence of the mafia and hoped for change. the church is the only agency that can win against the mafia. the pope can check people's conscience. if that changes the maia, it will not enter the new generation. that's what we are fighting for. >> as the pope returned to roam. for now the mafia is undiminished. its power and influence growing. tim friend. al jazeera. coming up on al jazeera america, a deeper look at the crisis in iraq. the regional players in the under folding turmoil. the united nations may have to

scale back peacekeeping missions. the fight that is brewing between western powers. rebecca has the forecast. >> our first summer day is bringing a round of summer storms, and tornado producers. i'll show you where the line of storms now producing wind 50 miles per hour. i'll show you that next.

>> weekday mornings on al jazeera america >> we do have breaking news this morning... >> start your day with in depth coverage from around the world. first hand reporting

from across the country and real news keeping you up to date. the big stories of the day, from around the world... >> these people need help, this is were the worst of the attack took place... >> and throughout the morning, get a global perspective on the news... >> the life of doha... >> this is the international news hour... >> an informed look on the night's events, a smarter start to your day. mornings on al jazeera america welcome back. it's time to take a deeper look at the situation in iraq, and it's implications for the rest of the middle east. i.s.i.l. has taken control of the security post along the border with syria and is in control of two towns. it's the latest advance in weeks of gains made by the islamic state of iraq and levant. we are following the crisis from baghdad. >> there's growing worry about the i.s.i.l. onslaught into iraq. after the fall of the post to

the fighters. this is a border that is far into western anbar, the province with fallujah, out on the syrian border, a town where u.s. marine will be familiar with, because they fought battles there in 2004. that has fallen to the fighters, creating a corridor where they can channel fighters and weapons. they have also attendant the town of tal afer, another place that experienced battles with the u.s. army. and they are afghanistan in. they have moved into to the baiji refinery, the biggest in iraq. it takes crude oil and refines kerosene, caso lean and the -- gasoline and the fuel needed to keep the plants run k. security forces fought for the refinery and lost it, in the same way they have been losing territory for over a week. it has created a huge refugee

crisis. more than a million leaving mosul and increasing pressure on nouri al-maliki. notably from the united states government, which wants him to sit down with political leaders, who he has not spoken to in many months in some case, and come up with a government to help solve the crisis. this is not just a military security crisis, it's a deep and deeply rooted political crisis. >> once again, in baghdad. >> regional politics are playing a factor. here are some other players. iran is a shia majority country needing access to shrines inside iraq. it's vying saudi arabia. like any country the leaders do not want to live next door to a civil war. gulf states take the opposite view. they want to prevent iranian

influence spreading. i.s.i.l. fighters share the same ideology. then there's israel, long at odds with middle eastern neighbours. it fears instability spreading out. i discussed the situation with a fellow at the truman national security project and a senior international policy analyst at rand corporation. i asked what iran has to gain or lose from the conflict. >> if i.s.i.l. takes over baghdad, this would be a huge loss for iran. iran wants to make sure the shia led government, which is friendly to iran, remains in power. importantly, that the wholly cities are not taken by i.s.i.l., which has violently anti-shi'a and anti-iranian. iran wants a stable and unified

iraq. we share the same interests. could working together lead to a dangerous proposition. >> well, politics make strange bed fellows, in the middle east that is so. i think we have a complicated relationship with iran. it's a pivotal moment in terms of what happened in iraq but broadly the deadline to reach an agreement in terms of the deal next month on the issue between the u.s. and rain. that will be worked out over the next few weeks. the situation may spurr agreement on the nuclear and broader issues. it may be a place were there can be limited cooperation between the countries, and there may be disagreement as well. it's something we'll have to see play out. >> what about saudi arabia's interests. >> the saudis are worried.

radically it's possible for the united states and iran to work together, but there's so many complications. namely the ongoing nuclear negotiations. if iran and the united states cooperate on iraq, there is the fear that iran gains additional leverage on the nuclear issue, it makes the saudis and israelis worried. cooperation between iran and the united states and iraq could complicate nuclear negotiations. while it's theoreticy possible, i'm not sure it's the best time. >> how much of a working relationship will the two have. >> the united states and iran. right now. i don't think they are going to work together closely. i mean, we heard reports that there's some discussions the united states is careful to

separate the issues and the fear of making negotiations complicated. that is smart. the problem though is if i.s.i.l. captures more iraqi territory, and is poised on marching toward baghdad and taking the cap call, the united states might have to consider working with iran closely. >> looking at the region, i spoke about israel. what role do they play? >> they are worried by developments in iraq and in the broader region in general in terms of instability in syria and what they view as increasing hedge moany over a number of areas. or israel, iraq, look, the creeiation of a -- creation of an i.s.i.l. threatens many, and israel is among those at threat. it's worrisome from an israeli perspective.

it's the case that the israelis fear that heightened u.s. iranian cooperation, which is unlikely but a fear from the israeli side, is that it may come at their expense. >> looking deeper at the region, the conflict with the group, shi'a, sunni and kurds, how do you brink obama administration. the groups together for a common goal? >> i'm not sure you can at this point. the prime minister of iraq, nouri al-maliki, has received a lot of criticism, and in a lot of ways he deserves it. he has been highly partisan. we have to remember that the u.s. invasion of iraq set off or opened a pandora's box the the subdivision existed in iraq for hundreds of years. it's not just a matter of finding simple policy choices that can bring the groups together. iraq does face the danger of

being fractured. it is a relatively new country. it's 100 years old. >> president obama made it clear that american forces will not return to combat, but is sending 300 military vizors to the region, do -- advisors to the region. do you think their advice will bring enough to end the violence? >> america can play a role, the advisors can play a role in these operations. there's no military solution, and no american military solution. it needs to be settled. politically, the real question is not does iraq break up, but whether you have a soft de facto, but more than that, partition of iraq. or whether something harder. >> at what point does the u.s. tele-maliki -- tell nouri al-maliki's government to take responsibility for itself. there have been reports that

nouri al-maliki has been encouraged to leave by the iraqi parties, by ayatollah sistany. i think that even if nouri al-maliki leaves, the question is who replaces him, another sectarian shi'a. the politics of iraq are poisonous, it's not a matter of one person, nouri al-maliki, if another replaces him, it's not clear whether that will heal the wounds created over the years. >> is it time for a different administration in iraq. >> the problems run deeper than nouri al-maliki. nevertheless he has not played a constructive role. there's a possibility for someone else to play a role. who that may be, and the time line in which that occurs is something that will have to be

determined by internal dynamics, he's failing at this point and it's time for a change. >> a lot of people are talking about troop withdrawal. looking at the instability, do you agree was troop withdrawal too soon in the area? >> well, the iraqis didn't want the united states to stay. so it wasn't just u.s. choice. i'm not so sure if the united states had maintained a few thousands troops that it would have stabilized the situation. i think - there's a tendency to offer the simple military solutions if a few thousands u.s. troops stayed and we conduct the air strikes pt the problem is deeper and more complicated. if the united states maintained troops, it doesn't mean we wouldn't see the deep instability in iraq that we see. >> it's a demru ied situation.

-- fluid situation. thank you, appreciate your time. thank you for joining us. coming up on al jazeera america - a massive manhunt for a soldier. we go live to seoul for the latest. in egypt. more than 100 members of the muslim brotherhood sentenced to death. team u.s.a. and their fans set team u.s.a. and their fans set for game

support for a ceasefire by ukraine's government. pope francis made a bold move as he excommunicated the italian mafia. it caused concern for safety. the people's pope made an announcement saying the evil must be fought against and pushed aside. thousands of south korean soldiers are on the hunt for one of their own that went on a shooting spree. it took place south of the demilitarized zone. at around 8:15 pm on june 21st, there was a shooting incident at the g.o.p. killing five and wounding seven. the gunmen is on the run with a loaded rifle. what can you tell us about the details of the shooting. >> as you heard from the defence

ministry spokesman, it happened after 8 o'clock on saturday night. it's now about 12:30 in the afternoon on sunday, korea time. he's been on the run for a good number of hours. the shooting came at the end of sergeant lim's guard duty, six hours at the outpost. he would have been coming back to barracks with a loaded weapons before hanning it back in -- handing it back in. shots were fired. two injured. they received emergency territory, all seven stable. this man on the run, not just with a loaded rifle, but 60 rounds of ammunition as well. >> what about the search for the gunmen, what steps is the military taking? >> well, they have upgraded the alert to the highest possible level, which is something that would happen during a north korean provocation, or a desertion in the area. that translates in nine

battalions of soldiers looking for the man, between 3,000-4,000 soldiers. they are up in the far east. one known to be hard work for the recruits that are there. this is an enlisted man. as are 70% of troops. they serve a mandatory two year service. it's one of the toughest assignments. this is a heavily mined area, one with a few routes between the mines. i think the ministry of defense will be concentrating and guarding against the possibility that he may escape into north korea. so far they are saying no signs of breaches in the fencing along the dmz. >> we understand the incident is not the first of its kind for south korea's military, what can you tell us about that. >> no, in the last 10 years there has been two incidents, one in 2005, when eight were killed. one in 2011 when four were

killed. in both cases they decided what to do with bullying, hazing of the mandatory national service, serving men. in terms of trying to combat this. something that the military has been trying to do. reform practices, still there are reports of this kind of thing going on. we don't, it has to be said, know what the motives are for this shooter. we know from what the local media is reporting there has been a background briefing from sources saying he was given a category a parliamentary assessment last year, meaning that he want have been allowed to serve in the front line position. that was downgraded this year, to - sorry, at the end of last year to a category b. he'd been at the outpost since december. that will be something that will be cause for investigation going forward if and when they find

it. >> south korean soldiers searching for one of their own allegedly going on a shooting spree. an egyptian court confirms what might be the biggest death sentence? history. 180 supporters the muslim brotherhood face execution. a portion of those sentenced are in custody. another chapter in the violent history of egypt's muslim brotherhood. this isn't unjust. >> reporter: members were put on trial in april. among them a spiritual guide. he has been put on death row for the first time. >> this is where sentencing is politicized. >> the court convicted him for murder and attempted murder on an attack near a police station. he has been convicted of belonging to a terror unfortunate group. that day police killed hundreds

of supporters in the capital. the violence did not stop. three more were killed by security forces. they were protesting against the overthrow of mohamed mursi. events a year ago put egypt on this course. popular dissent against mohamed mursi, a former member of the muslim brotherhood built to a critical level. hours after celebrating his first year in power, the military overthrew him. mohamed mursi is now in prison, facing criminal charges and a possible death sentence. he was the group's great hope after decades in exile. highs year in power marked a return of the brotherhood. according to many egyptians his policies led to his own spectacular fall. they gave the state an excuse to ban the organization and justify arrests and death sentences. like those handed down on

saturday. >> we should mention three al jazeera journalists have been detained in egypt since december. peter greste, mohamed fadel fahmy and baher mohamed are accused of supporting the muslim brotherhood, and reporting news damaging to national security. a verdict in the case is scheduled to be announced on monday. south sudan, a young nation, is plagued by unrest. china is calling for warring parties to abide by a tenuous ceasefire, and pledges hundreds of troops to the peacekeeping mission. is china's motivation humanitarian or financial. >> china is adding muscle and funny to south sudan. china's ambassador opens a camp for south sudan made homeless by fighting. this is a new level of engagement for a country that

has been hands off. >> it does not mean standing by when the people of our country are facing disaster. >> china has been firm in its message to south sudan's warring parties. >> stop fighting. >> but the 8,500 u.n. peacekeepers are overstretched. with a return to violence in south sudan a threat, china agreed to do more. after extensive negotiations with the u.n. security council, china will send a battalion of 850 soldiers to add weight and firepower to the u.n. peacekeepers. china's stake in south sudan's vital oil industry is worth billions. china is willing to help the u.n. a lot more if the u.n. keeps the oil field safe. china's private business and government invests. half the workers fled the

violence obvious the past six months. the owners of this market gardener lost casual customers but supply hotels. it has a 15 years lease and are digging in. >> we want to capitalize n this trend of investment in africa to benefit us and people of this country. this is called social responsibility. >> in a pragmatic policy shift, china says it halted arm sales to the south sudanese society. the ambassador says... >> not export arms or weapons to the country. >> china's halted discussions over a $2 billion loan to the government. these initiatives give china more influence. the risk is that it increases china's exposure if the

fighting, massacres and destruction continue. >> south sudan is one of many countries where u.n. peacekeepers are stationed. blue helmets and white carriers can disappear from communities. >> the u.n. has peacekeepers in 16 missions around the world. their strength is reaching a high. over 100,000 troops and police in blue helmets. there's a funding crisis. diplomats can't agree on a new budget. if there's not a deal at the end of the month, peacekeepers will have no money and not be able to operate. most of the u.n. troops come from the developing world. these soldiers are from rwanda. the main funding is western nations. this is a row pitching the richest countries against the poorest on earth.

ak a dull is an ambassador of bangladesh, a country with 8,000 personnel serving with the u.n. >> bangladesh is obligated to help the u.n. when they ask us, we respond positively. when our troops cannot get minimum - you know, what should i say, facilities, then it is demoralizing. we want our guys to be fully liquid and energized to perform the job effectively and efficiently. the dispute over funding comes at a time when the u.n. must find more troops for missions and mali and south sudan. and set up a peacekeeping operation in the central african republic. there hasn't been a contribution for troops. the u.n. pays $1,200 per peace keeper per month. some want it increased to as

much as $1,700 per peace keeper per month. the total for the current budget. ending in a week stands at 7.3 billion. next year this rises to more than 9 million. crunch negotiations continues in the coming days. talks have gone on past their allotted time. there's no budget left. they won't meet in these corridors. they'll have informal meetings outside the building. >> protests on the streets of albuquerque. people say they are fed up with an excessive force used by police. we have a warning. some of the images you may find disturbing. chan chapt. >> it's been called the albuquerque spring. this is the latest mobilization against a city leadership accused of allowing police to

kill with impunity. the u.s. department of justice says the majority of shoot yippings by the albuquerque -- shootings by the michael buchleitner were unconstitutional and officers were taught that violence was normal and desirable. >> boom. hear my son scream. maybe 2 minutes later he was get. >> mike's son alan was fatally shot by a police officer in 2011. the officer was cleared. alan was unarmed. >> their bag is not a licence to kill. i loved my son. he was a good kid. he didn't deserve to die. >> albuquerque police were judged to have killed civilians for minimal reasons. >> reporter: it was the shooting death of a mentally ill man on the outskirts of town. despite james boyd expressing

fears he would be shot. he vendors. a stun gun was shot at him. he reached for a knife and was shut dead. a culture of aggression is said to exist at the department. it came as no surprise to grover, who served before becoming a civil rights lawyer. >> you had a hyper militarization in the farm of conduct and armament not incident with good policing. >> the city and the government are in a long negotiation on reform. the mayor's office and the police department declined to be interviewed. there has been changes in albuquerque over the years. the rate of killing increased, and the police officials hired to oversee reform have been accused of excessive force and change. the protesters say they'll ensure this opportunity is not missed and will march until
