>> several developments today in the crisis in iraq. the pentagon said that the u.s. military is flying armed drones over baghdad to protect troops and diplomats. human watch say there is evidence that islamic state in iraq and the levant killed up to 180 men after taking tikrit. the ayatollah called on the country. mike viqueira is live for us on the white house with more on these militants. do the drones represent a major escalation. >> reporter: here's what we knew and what we know now.

forces have flown over iraq to identify where the enemy is and ar where are the targets. and drones that are faced elsewhere surrounding iraq. what we now know is that some of those drones are armed. what u.s. officials are say something that the reason that they're armed is to protect u.s. interest in iraq right now. not only those individuals within private contracts that they should be evacuated, but part of those 300 advisers, the first wave of which has entered iraq to try to assess the capabilities on the part of the military. >> some of those aircraft are armed. so the reason why some of those aircraft are ar armed primarily

are for protection. some military advisers whose objectives are to operate outside of the compounds of the embassy. >> reporter: and also those missions, we're no closer to a decision before we can tell. if president obama were to go forward with those airstrikes as the iraqis have asked for the drones would participate in those armed drones. >> mike, how have the iraqis been reacting to the news that drones are flying in their skies? >> reporter: we haven't heard any specific reaction, but you would expect the reaction would be, it's about time. prime minister nouri al-maliki and the senior members of the military have been asking for the u.s. to fly over those isil forces. they are frustrated. president obama has not decided

to go forward and do that. and they're still talking about the need for al maliki and other iraqi officials when they meet to quickly come to an agreement in forming a new government, bringing stability and bringing in sunni elements so the situation can be stabilized, and then the united states would be more in cline to go forward with the kinetic or military assistance. >> mike, what have you heard in way of reaction to the news that the obama administration is requesting $500 million to help the moderate syrian opposition? >> reporter: it's somewhat controversial. they have moderate opposition. that they deem worthy and reliable that they do not have radical elements that could occur on the united states or

u.s. interests. this is the first public acknowledgment as much of a half billion dollars that you mentioned is now going to train the syrian opposition forces. we understand that that could happen in neighboring countries like jordan. susan rice, security adviser here in the white house has said that lethal as well as non-lethal aid has been provided to the so-called moderate syrian opposition. >> mike viqueira for us. thank you. the military is fighting back against an offensive by the isil. it's sent in troops to secure the refinery. iraqi military aircraft in the sky. each commander units are alleged to get a foot hold using

helicopters they've landed. witnesses reported fierce fighting and two out of the three helicopters used were downed. people hearsay the military hit targets indiscriminately and used illegal weapons. >> there is no presence of militants here. there is no isil. you can form the whole area he here. it's a residential area, families live here. >> they dropped bombs and two blasts took place. there is no one here. month militants, no one here in the area. >> the situation is different here. there is no electricity. >> they haven't given any evidence, now tikrit is a crucial town. not only the town of sue adam hussein, but one of the key

towns in the. >> recruits from murdered by the fighters. photos were released by the fighters but said the investigation is difficult because of the fighting. they have not been able to agree on a solution and feel let down by the shia-led government. >> jordan border iraq. fewer people are traveling between the countries. >> we see far fewer trucks than

we normally would see especially for the holidays. people say they need goods and supplies from jordan and they'll bring them back. we did speak to some drivers who were driving a convoy of new cars. they said it was an order for the iraqi government. unfortunately they were turned back. they were told they didn't have the right permits. the government of jordan is making it difficult to get permits because of the violence next door. >> straight department said that martin is leaving to return to his job at a washington think tank. his resignation comes two months after efforts to forge a peaceful and fell apart.

al jazeera's jane ferguson joins us from west bank. is there any reaction from the israeli or palestinians to martin's resignation? >> well, no official reaction at the moment. it is the weekend here. neither government is releasing any official statement. we have spoken with some who say that it was in line with the palestinian negotiation. they blamed benjamin netanyahu for making the job improbable. but those negotiations collapsed several months ago. the deadline, but before the talks had come to a stal

stalemate over prisoner releases and mahmood abbas signing international treatings and agreements. both sides had come to an agreement long before an agreement. so it won't come as much of a surprise. >> two palestinians were killed in an early air raid at the gaza strip. what do we know about the strike? >> reporter: it happened late afternoon in gaza, that airstrike. it hit a vehicle and killed two people inside that vehicle who are briefed to have been part of a conservative group there. and they were accused by the israelis of planning and carrying out rocket attacks. there have been some tank fire this afternoon and early evening. however, these incidents are relatively commonplace in gaza.

it's not believed this particular incident is related to the ongoing israeli military campaign in the west bank trying to find the three missing israeli teen agers who went missing. >> jane ferguson, thank you. it was a trade deal that caused a bloody up rising. ukraine signed with the european union. refuse to go sign it is what led to the ousting of the president out of the country. >> it came down to a flourish of a pen. a signature on a page. but this association agreement will fundamentally alter the economic prospects of millions of people. getting to this point has cost

hundreds of lives. it brought ukraine to the brink of civil war. some have paid the highest possible price. >> her wish to sign that agreement under different, more comfortable circumstances. on the other hand the external aggression faced by ukraine gives another strong reason for this crucial step. by signing this agreement ukraine takes enormous commitment. but it is a document of joint ownership and joint responsibility. >> this streety is not without cost. ukraine now benefits from having access to the european market, but it must make significant reforms to comply with e.u. regulations. eu membership is still a long way off. and kremlin predicting grave

consequences. >> the anti-institutional cue in kiev and attempts to artificially impose a choice between europe and russia on the ukrainian people have pushed society towards a split and painful confrontation. >> the united nations estimate 100,000 people have fled from ukraine into russia fearful of both the conflict and perhaps the future. an army cease-fire due to expire on friday may be extended when in reality it's been end its. both sides have exchanged fire and on thursday separatist militia attacked. there have been positive signals to. armed separatist in the eastern city of donetsk released a monitoring team. the man had been seized and

held. although it appeared politically motivated there was relief nonetheless. >> we honor the return of our monitoring member. >> but dozens of other hostages remain in captivity. paul brennan, al jazeera, do donetsk. >> i think he's trying to r recruit the soviet union. the soviet union was an empire that fell apart now trying to reassemble it in moscow. it is an exercise of futility.

>> he said that the west can fight back against the leaders. the sudanese woman who was originally sentenced to death is now at the u.s. embassy for her own safety. an appeals court reversed her death sentence but she rearrested her as she tried to leave the united states. the police say she falsified her documents. >> president jonathan visited survivers of a bomb blast. boko haram is blamed for wednesday's explosion that killed at least 22 people. andrew simmons has more. >> reporter: they're still clearing up. and many people are still in

shock. the president came to the scene after cutting short to equatorial guinea, and he gave this warning. >> it's understand the military has been put on red alert after insurgents planned to attack. but for the first time this year they broke through what many believe is a difficult situation. now many are afraid to go shopping in the center. this store may be open, but no one is buying. >> every is afraid. nobody knows when it could happen. >> and in a store nearby it's a similar mood. >> we don't feel safe.

it's our business, and we cannot close down. >> we won't know what will happen tomorrow. >> i feel they should do more when it comes to the security aspects of this country. >> security contractors say they feel they're in the front line. checks and searches have been increased but no one is confident. many of the owners of private security form say. is expected of their unarmed staff. they say it's the army and the police who should be doing more to provide protection for the people. what more can they do? the organization representing lawyers say if the forces are failing the government should consider negotiating with boko haram.

>> we have to deal with it some how. >> i seemed resolute on taking a harder line, and he said people should stop criticizing the security forces but help them instead. this comes at a time when public confidence in bliss and government appears to be at an all time low. >> then there was this. the they will no longer make or buy landmines that target peop people. landmines kill millions of people a year. roxana saberi has more. >> they are looking for ways for the u.s. to join banning landmines. they say the u.s. should do more like destroy the millions of

landmine it is thought to have already. >> every day people die from stepping on a landmine. in countries like mozambique, afghanistan, and colombia. >> there are people who live in fear. fear that near them are traps, traps that will kill them or their children at any moment. >> the u.s. has not made landmines since 1997 but has reserved the right to produce them until now. the obama administration announced that the u.s. will no longer make or buy them and their use, stock piling and production and transfer. activists praised the announcement but said it does not go far enough. >> we have set up a time frame

particularly before president obama leaves office. >> the rest of the world's countries have joined the treaty. >> there is virtually little use for landmines today. even by those states outside of the convention. we feel it's only a matter of time before that stigma and that unacceptability brings these countries into the fold. >> activists also want the u.s. to get rid of it's stock pile. >> the united states give upland mines. >> the u.s. has not used landmines in combat since the 1991 war.

>> thank you. roxana saberi with us. coming up on al jazeera america, you don't see it too often, a politician taking on wall street and oil. and facebook going to court. we'll be back in a moment.

the performance review. that corporate trial by fire when every slacker gets his due. and yet, there's someone around the office who hasn't had a performance review in a while. someone whose poor performance is slowing down the entire organization. i'm looking at you phone company dsl. check your speed. see how fast your internet can be. switch now and add voice and tv for $34.90. comcast business built for business.

>> actual street ended the trading week on a positive note. the dow gained just over 5 points, 6 points on the day. the nasdaq and s&p 500 were also higher. facebook and the government is in demand over the use of data. it turned over data on 400 users connected with a benefit fraud. a judge ordered facebook to hand over the data without informing

users first. now opening fire on the most wealthy corporation. >> reporter: vermont senator berni sanders is going after the oil companies and bangers on wall treat. it's claiming oil companies have caused gas prices to urge. >> controlled by speculators who never used the end product and driving up a human profit, and that's what they do. >> sanders is not alone. goldman sachs reported that excessive speculation in the oil future's market is costing american consumers $0.56 a gallon. in the battle over the last month sanders has made several trips to the states of iowa and

new ham and said he does expect to run for the 2016 democratic presidential nomination. when asked about hillary clinton, the frontrunner, sanders said she's not progressive enough and needs to be challenged from the left. ads accusing democrats of being close to president obama. >> al franken can't say no to president bush. franken has voted for the obama agenda 100% of the time. obamacare, franken said yes. raising the debt limits so obama can spend even more, franken said yes. al farnken and barack obama,

their spending is bankrupting america. >> the political action committee led by karl rove is accusing begich hiding behind his own television ads. >> begich votes with barack obama 97% of the time in washington. that's just not true alaska. and in tennessee where there is a republican primary election ahead. lamar alexander and president bush. >> president obama created this crisis only after lamar alexander photoed for amnesty. he is responsible. >> alexander is responsible? the senate bill never got a vote in the house. in wisconsin where union busting republican governor scott walker is seeking re-election and is floating the idea of running for

president obama. democrats are running ads for attacking him for what they call a criminal scheme. the ads also highlight. >> here in the u.s. we're dead last. what does scott walker do the next day? he launches more attack ads. he is not working for you. >> finally an oklahoma republican ran in a primary and lost is challenging the outcome claiming the winner is actually dead and that a body double ran in his place. representing oklahoma's third congressional district published a lettered and e-mail it had to news organizations saying it's widely known representative frank lucas is no longer alive and has been displayed by a look alive. he goes on to claim that lucas was executed in southern

ukraine. he has been in office for 20 years, he said he has never been to ukraine and is very much alive. challenger murray, which if you think about him, he received 3,000 votes. highways not returned reporter phone calls. if you claim that someone is a body double you don't talk to the media. >> you find the strangest stuff. you can't make this up. it's stranger than fiction. coming up on al jazeera america, president obama wants to send $500 million to fight necessary syria. but many say the idea has failed once and it will fail again.

>> hundreds of days in detention. >> al jazeera rejects all the charges and demands immediate release. >> thousands calling for their freedom. >> it's a clear violation of their human rights. >> we have strongly urged the government to release those journalists. >> journalism is not a crime. >> training armed rebel

fighters, up to this point the united states has mostly provided non-lethal and humanitarian aid to the opposition. joining us now is senior fellow in the new america foundation specia international program. i'm going to dive in on this, be patient here. this program, is it too little too late? >> well, i think that's what most people will have been saying. i think $500 million has been said by some military experts as possibly, quite possibly allowing for a substantial training program and the purchase of important weapons.

at that sense we could see that this money, if improved, could be to an escalation in fighting. >> that's interesting. it seems to me that there was a moment when this assist might have made a real different in syria, that would be the period of time before the islamists and the jihadis moved in. i think we were talking about this in syria. to do this now, does this feel like a real effort to do something significant for the opposition, or is this a bow to political pressure that the administration has been facing over its syria policies? >> i think sending a message to the opposition, and allied states that the u.s. is still committed to the fight against assad, and it is willing to get a little deeper into the game, and that will be received well by those constituents.

i think it is important for obama to say that he is doing something. but is it enough? is it too late? i think again that is a big question. it is intended ultimately the administration keeps saying the conflict can only be solved through a political solution. this is supposed to help tip the balance on the ground. >> and it's clearly not enough to do that. it is clearly not enough to tip the balance on the battlefield. you would agree with that? >> i the would think there is a large question about that, but you have to think will it be approved? it requires congressional approval. >> the vetted opposition, do you know who represents the vetted opposition at this appointment? and i remember a time when it was the free syrian army. i don't know what is left of the

free syrian army, do you? >> well, they think that the assumption is the free syrian army that falls under the umbrella of the national coalition and they'll help do the vetting. the problem is ironically that body was sacked on the day that obama announced this up take in money for such rebel forces. so there is a real question as to who--who is the moderate rebel, and how will they be vetted? >> it is such a mess. does equipment mean arms, if it does mean arms isn't there a high degree of probable ability that the arms supplied by the u.s. would end up in the hands of the more radical fighters in

syria, and even in iraq? >> there is some guarantee that could be attached to this equipment. that it could only be used by certain persons. it is a safeguard in a sense. >> there is a lot of weapon trading going on there are a lot of actor it's fighs fighting on the syrian battlefield. it is possible that the weapons could end up in non-moderate hands. >> the senior fellow in the new america foundation international security program joining us from washington. thank you. thank you. >> at least 14 people are dead after a gas pipeline explosion in southeast india. the blast happened early today in the state, and caused a

massive fire that destroyed homes and forced the evacuation of nearby villages. >> the explosion took place in the early hours of friday morning around 560 kilometers from the state capitol. at this stage the cause is not known. the chief minister has called for an official inquiry and the prime minister of india, narendra modi, has sent his condolences to the families of the victims. he has called on the chairman of the state-owned gas company to provide immediate relief and be sure that things are taken care of. investigations will continue. interestingly villagers suggesting negligence may be involved, that the pipelines were not adequately maintained, but still it's far too early to conclude what may have happened and why it's taking place. >> in afghanistan, abdullah abdullah and thousand was his

>> reporter: it's turning into a humanitarian catastrophes. the rains are a torment for these uprooted people. mud everywhere, latrines overflowing, fear of cholera and worse. >> everybody is coming to look for protection. yes, because the war is outside. that's why the civilians are coming. >> two months ago there were 7,000 people seeking shelter here. now the u.s. he i estimate there is are 40,000. in the camp there is some food. outside, there is none. >> there is no food. there is no food at all. everything was banned. people are killing. >> they fled the town of bentiu. rebels and government are fighting over it. it's already changed hands six times.

the warring matters south sudan's conflict agreed to hold their fire and work towards a transitional government. but people come here because they think they might survive. out there they feel death is more certain. >> reporter: the u.n. is worried to, peace keepers are armed and vigilant. they have lost personnel in the last six months and are waiting for reinforcements to move into surrounding areas, which might take pressure off this camp nou. >> we've opened the gates for those fleeing for their lives, afraid of being killed. i think we have stemmed the cycle of violence and saved thousands of lives. >> reporter: but they admit they were not prepared for a crisis on this scale. even simple illnesses are proving fatal. three children are dying here every day. what people need is peace.

a peace they can believe in. only then can they go home. >> a man pleads guilty to federal terrorism charges. maria ines ferre has that and other headlines making news across america. >> reporter: yes, a texas man pleaded guilty to attempting to provide support for terrorists. 23-year-old michael wolf admitted that he planned to travel to turkey and then enter into syria and fight there. his arrest comes after an investigation that started three years ago. wolf faces up to 15 years in jail. some georgia school leaders are turning down the option of arming teachers. officials in two districts say it does not make kids any safer. supporters say schools should consider the option to stop violence. georgia has passed a law allowing teach tours carry guns. it goes into effect july 1st. boy scout troops facing a fire escaped just in time.

>> from honduras he crossed you the border in 2006. but he only had enough money to bring his wife or his son. >> why did you leave your son behind? >> because i could leave him with his grandmother who would raise him in the christian faith. >> but his home was attacked by the gangs. >> not even the military or the government can control the gangs in honduras. those who don't want to be in a gang, who knows what happens to them. >> so he and his wife paid a coyote to bring his son to the united states. >> we made the decision two or three days of suffer something better than suffering every day if something happens to him in honduras. >> but after traveling days and nights from honduras all the way to mexico he was caught at the border in texas. he spent nine days in detention and from there children were

abused. >> he told me that the immigration officers called him and if the kids didn't come quickly enough the officers would kick them. i started crying. >> reporter: after nine days of wearing the same clothes and sleeping on nothing but a plastic sheet, they sent manuel jr. to a place for children. there he was given new clothes and english classes but he still was not free. >> these are locked down attorneys. >> this attorney helps undocumented children get through the legal system. >> they don't get a free pass. they have to appear in course. and if they don't appear in court they will be given an order of deportation. >> reporter: the system is overwhelmed. there are 50,000 pending cases 6,000 minors and 28 judges. but right now manuel is happy just days after we left this happened.

the plane you learn where the family is staying presumably illegally. >> i asked them. are you scared? are you scared when they come knocking on your door because you have to sign your address. i asked the attorney who we interviewed for that piece. she said the top of the administration's priority is drug traffickers and terrorist. it's not really people and families who are trying to make a doctor here in the united states. that's terrific stuff. well done and the best to that family. morgan, thank you. and coming up on al jazeera america, the man bitten by uruguay's luis suarez says the punishment for that bite was way too harsh.

world cup. but that does not mean that there wasn't news today. we have the update, can we start with suarez? >> we probably have to. >> there are a lot of people who think he bit the guy, that was wrong, and he's not eight years old. but the punishment was too severe, right? >> evidently, that's what some people believe. i'm not in that camp, but there are some who believe that. if you've been consistently watching the world cup you have seen the bite that everyone is talking about. not only was it clear during the game except to the referee that suarez bit the left shoulder of chielenni. he has bitten players before,

and fifa representative said that a third bite was not acceptable. he'll miss 12 games for liverpool in the english premiere league. but chielinni said it infringes on his right to work. support is pretty strong. a huge crowd showed up at the airport to give him a hero's welcome. some of the fans accuse urugua the team from stealing from uruguay. support for suarez is not confined to his home country or england. argentinian soccer player appeared on a brazil television show wearing a t-shirt that reads, quote, luis, we are with you. now the football association is plan to go appeal.

it won't effect the world cup 5:00 there is talk that liverpool will seek some type of review of the decision. here's the thing. suarez had not shown any remorse. it's clear what he did, but if you come out and say you're sorry maybe you can get that, but we have not seen that so far. >> and lack of remorse, that's his pattern as well. >> pretty much. >> with past offenses. >> here's the question, we're ready for round 16. will jose altadore be ready to lay. >> it's been 11 days since he had to leave the game with a strained hamstring, but they're extremely optimistic that altidore will be able to play against belgium. but they feel the entire team has yet to play to its full

ability and he delivered a pointed message to his players today. >> now prove it. this is what you work so long and so hard for. now take it one game at a time. take your focus from one game, and then make it happen. is it doable, absolutely. and this group, now anything is doable. but you need to now understand that you have to raise the bar, personal, and as a whole team in order to make things happen. that's what we want to achieve. >> that's the goal. if they get by belgium they'll need altidore in the field. >> reacting with an emotional moment. >> reporter: from baylor university was expected to be a high pick. earlier this week he was diagnosed with a rare disorder

that effects the heart. last night the nba commission honored him. take a look. >> the other young men here tonight isaiah committed himself to endless hard work and dedication to a potential career as a professional basketball player, and we wanted to make sure that he fulfilled this part of his dream. so it gives me great pleasure to say that with the next pick in the 2014 nba draft the nba select isaiah austin from baylor university.
