>> we begin with developments surrounding iraq, the muz limbs around the world are getting for the holy month of ramadan and there are indications that in new government formed in iraq is not including the prime minister. it is sad a new government needs to be formed right away and the next prime minister and speaker and president should be in place by tuesday when the parliament is scheduled to meet for the first time. in a report, spent the last four days reporting from iraq and people are caught in the cross fire and the divisions that are tearing the country apart permeated the camps for those displaced. >> we are driving along the

highway. iraq's second largest city and overrun by the sunni rebel group. hundreds of thousands have fled the city. many to camps and most of the camps are divided along the ethic and rereligious lines. >> we don't have clotheing with us. i have nobody to support me. i'm living by god's mercy. the army and isis is fighting and we are caught in the middle. >> so this woman that we met here told us that her home was destroyed a couple of days ago by drones and they have fled here. the temperature must be 110, 115 degrees. >> i don't even have money to

rent a house with my husband. we would be better off dead. there is nothing for us. where are we supposed to go? >> an hour away at another camp, this one still under construction, mostly shiite refugees are arriving and coming with another story. >> it was horrible. we have seen dead bodies before but never like this. bodies in the streets are legs cut off. you couldn't save them. many of the men are iraqi police officers and army. much is made up how easily that the isis is taking over. these police officers insist it is more complicated than that. >> we fought for five days and were able to hold them back, on the 6th day the setback

happened. they used a huge bomb to break through the police lines and the headquarters fell. and then the whole operation was over. >> we couldn't resist them. they had sophisticated weapons and lots of fighters. >> these men have good reason to fear for their lives. isil is posting videos on line. they have carried out mass executions of the police and the military. >> what would have happened if isil found you with these? >> they'll cut our heads off. >> as we were leaving the shiite camp isil attacked another camp nearby and sending people running for their lives. the cars are packed with the people with their few belongings

they took while panicking. >> o now to situation here in this country, there are reports that u.s. drones are in the skies over iraq. libby, what is the white house saying about the drones and how they are being used>> we are referred to the department of defense and armed drones are overseas in iraq. there are unmanned and manned flights and unmanned flights is a way of saying drones. what is significant about this, is seeing them actually armed and they could serve two purposes, one is surveillance and on going and they have been in the skies to get the surveillance and getting information to folks on the ground. but armed predator drones could act as protective resources and protect the american forces there in iraq and giving information to the iraqi forces batting isil. >> in the meantime, secretary kerry is trying to ease the

tensions in the region and iraq. where is he now? >> he's on the red sea in western saudi arabia and meeting with the king. this comes on the heels of meetings in paris with the representatives of saudi arabia, jordan and uae and secretary kerry has had key messages to communicate that the u.s. has not decided whether or not not to launch air strikes in iraq, but reserves the right to make that decision. the other message, destabilize iraq is dangerous for the iraqi people and dangerous for the entire region. as of yesterday, the u.s. officials say that those middle east allies are not offering military assistance or military efforts and the conversations are continuing today with the king himself. >> the white house is asking for a half billion dollars to arm

some resistance there. >> the language that the white house is using they want congress to sign off an half a billion dollars to go to vetted out the elements of the iraqi government and stabilizing the areas under control. many questions about how those moderate sources would be vetted and how to process would work. the president talked about wanting to be able to partner with the regions. some of the members of congress pushing to get the u.s. involved with the rebel forces are asking about how to make sure that the arms are not getting in the wrong hands. >> libby, out of washington, thank you very much. >> iraqi citizens are testifying

against a group of american mercenaries from the incident that happened in 2007, the military contractors of block water opened fire on cars. 17 iraqis were killed and the contractor is claiming self-defense and a former black water worker pleaded guilty in that case. >> the mideast convoy is retiring. the white house saying that martin is returning to the brookings institution and he was appointed by john kerry trying to foster a deal. but the peace negotiations have collapsed. >> it is signed sealed and delivered in ukraine, they have signed an agreement with the european union. the people were forced to choose

between independent ukraine and russia and now what this deals more ukraine. >> it is making a difference in the lives of millions of ukrainians. there are stumbling blocks to continue, russia may pull the levers and use the influence to try to do what it can to provent the smooth is running. now the closer ties between ukraine and europe is obvious to all, and big costs involved, bringing the ukrainian produce up to the eu standards. putin in moscow saying this whole process over several months now left ukraine deeply split, arift between the east and the west and it is tough the argue from this point, where i am standing, the administration is controlled by forces which

would like to see part of the world going to russia or at the very least independent and the desire to do something different remains strong here, this is a pro russian area, speem peek russian, and remains gunmen in the streets and occupying the gvt installations here. at least president here appears to hold out out. he's offered the idea of a three day extense to a current government cease fire and not making a final decision until he returns to kiev on friday. i suspect that further extension could be possible to monday. >> thank you. south korea is expressing doubt

over the missiles in north korea. contrary to the claims, the south koreian defense it is not new technology. >> she's free again. released from jail and he's the sudan woman sentenced to death. she was released on june 23rd after the appeals court repealed the sentence. she's safely in the u.s. embassy with her family. >> this week aljazeera is looking at the issues sur rournding illegal imgragmigrati and 50,000 children crossing the borders into the u.s. 70,000 parents were deported

last year. president obama is talking about the situation and calling it a humanitarian crisis. >> that is our direct message to the families in central america, do not send your children to the borders, if they make it, they are going to be sent back and may not make it. >> the president saying that the large number of children coming to the u.s. alone reflects the desperation and violence that exists in some of the countries in central america. that prompted to ask why are so many attempting to rip apart their families just to get to the u.s.? >> in a neighborhood soccer field, alex told me how much he misses his little brother. >> we were always together him and me. it was like that connection between two brothers. i tried to take care of him. i didn't think he had it in him

battles. we were told without a military escort we would be killed or kidnapped if we went near their home. this is a typical neighborhood, the kind of place where the brothers grew up. we won't go to the neighborhood. coming with police attention will draw attention to their family. that is what they are afraid of. they pay extortion money. it is the place you are in with the gangs or out. and axle decided to get out. many who don't get out end up in a place like this, juvenile prison. prison social worker carlos says they face a grim future. carlos, what kind of options kids this age have, the gangs or head north? >> the day they step out of the

door of the facility they are going to find the same situation that put them here in the first place. >> they threw a grenade in here? >> yes. >> inside is dangerous, a week ago five kids were killed here in a gang clash. in a town square, the mother the agreed to meet me, and even here she was afraid of being overheard talking about the gangs and her sons. >> i have to be cautious to say what i'm going to say. there are things you are not supposed to say here. you join or you are killed. boys 12 have to leave. leaving is the only solution. >> axel is in the u.s. but may be deported. what is going to happen if he returns home? >> if he comes back here, they'll kill him. that is what would happen.
