hold in the south as it balls government forces in a major offensive and still in saturn orbit and what has been discovered. ♪ first, the turmoil in iraq and the declaration of an islamic state, the group formally known as the islamic state has rejoined the map of the middle east and it now wants to be known as the islamic state with an aim to unite the territory under its control from parts of northern syria to parts of eastern iraq and iraq says it is a threat to all countries. this is how its supporters in syria greeted the news in the town of racka and said they will join the islamic state but no word from the major rival al-qaeda, meanwhile the

government is also claiming it is retaking a strategic crossing on the border with jordan. the islamic state now renamed islamic state is made up of several thousand armed men and significant amount of foreign fighters and linked to other sunni groups in iraq, they are talking about al-qaeda affiliates in the area of a true heir of bin-ladin and leader of all muslims and the objective is to have a mobile islamic state and we are joined from baghdad and isil has a new identity and new territory ambitions and how big of a game changer is this for iraq? >> well, that is something i

have been speaking to various people across the iraqi political spectrum and i have been told by a politician who is close to prime minister maliki is they dismissed it and said, look, it's the rebels trying to find out who they are and win support of a military source and said, look, this is just another idea that the rebels put forward and officially the iraqi government have yet to completely open and respond to this but we are hearing they are concerned about what is going on and reaction is coming through, how much of a game changer is it? it's more for the group themselves. it's for the group themselves. they want to be able to see and be seen as a legitimate face of the international jihad and let's look right now about what

they actually want. ♪ in an earlier message in a manifest on the web a line in the sand has been drawn. the islamic state is the new name for isil says the group, it's a declaration of intent, establishment of the islamic counterfeit and they say the territories they control are united under the leadership of bagdaddy and it will unite under the black flag and the last time one was in the world was 1924 and cities have been asked to pledge allegiance and so far have not reacts to the statement but fighting still continues. ♪ this announcement will put pressure on iraq and syria. it's designed to get people to ral lie around the group's cause and have a political impact in iraq. on july first the parliament

comes together to discuss the formation of a new government this and other pressures will be a test for maliki to see if he has support to remain in the job. as the crisis goes on even the prime minister allies such as the sheer political party are not confident the prime minister has the support. >> translator: i believe that the chances for the current prime minister to run for a third term are very low in comparison to other candidates and we believe that according to the grant iatola it's better to choose consensus of someone who can have political blocks acorrosion the sectarian divide. >> reporter: they called for prime minister to go and openly say that his style is to blame. >> translator: first, policies ended his political life expectancy and he is a great failure and not being up to the

task and is not command in a professional way and being bias and unjust of different segments of iraqi society and it's these factors that helped him lose support. >> reporter: he did win the popular vote in iraq and his party got the most seats but not enough to form a government so he needs alliances that he needs to find with other political blogs in order to remain prime minister, with the islamic state up in stakes with declaration the pressure from all sides is mounting, i'm with al jazeera, baghdad. >> and what is the latest from the battlefield in the offensive to retake by the iraqi government forces? >> reporter: well, we seem to be in a holding pattern when it comes to the battle for the city. we saw for the last 24 hours reenforcements brought in by the iraqi army to the outskirts and took the road out and secured all the village's around it and

waiting to go into the city itself. now, inside the city it's not the islamic state who are the main fighting group there, it's an army and part of the sunni rebel movement and the public pronouncements over 2 hours suggested they are ready for the fight and know what they are doing and people in the army are actually from the town and former sadam loyalists and the hometown of hussein and know the territory well and there is a question being asked and this is the army and they are not looking for a counterfeit and not looking for the same thing the islamic states are and an ideological divide between them and the islamic state fighters there are, does that mean the ideological divide will be a tactical divide as well? they disagree with each other and what we are looking for now to see what impact this statement from the islamic state has on the actual fighting on

the ground. >> thank you very much, that is al jazeera with the latest from baghdad. and the three syrian army is committed to fighting the islamic state it wants more cooperation with the united states to fight what it calls terrorism and fsa put out a statement after a meeting with the secretary of state last week and says isil is on the border between iraq and seer dwra -- syria and the key to defeating the off shoot is free the syrian army fighters and it has a center to combat fighters from the sunni rebel group islamic state former known as the islamic state and this shows fighters heading to a province on the border with iraq. now, iraq's kurds feel sunni rebels plan to push into their region in the country in the

north, over the last three days forces are shoring up defenses. from the borders we report. >> reporter: there is no mistaking who is in charge here. the self declared islamic state and fighting for weeks and guards the gates here. and there are snipers positioned at iraq's northern city, this is a front line. just 500 meters away are the kurdish forces and they have been fortifying defenses days after a suicide bombing targeting their forces at this crossing. >> translator: on june 26 the islamic state sent a suicide bomber on a truck and blew himself up close to check point and that is why we are beefing up security. >> reporter: the region in the north has not been affected by the fighting of iraq government and sunni groups but authorities

here say they are facing a threat and fight ended controls and i'm pose new restrictions at all crossing points. at the start of the crisis they fled and were able to use cars but things have changed, they can only enter by foot and only a handful of people are arriving, that is because the kurdish security forces have new security measures in place. [crying] while it may make life difficult for many iraqis searching for security kurdish officials insist they are needed to preserve stability in their region. >> translator: the islamic state is planning to control the whole of iraq and will impose rules on the people of iraq. they don't respect human rights so we are ready to spill blood on the front line to protect our children and women. >> reporter: they share 1,000 kilometer long border with the sunni malitia group and both groups engaged in clashes in

some areas over the past few weeks and the kurds have been able to hold lines but the presence of american military advisors in the region under scores how seriously they regard the threat, i'm with al jazeera. >> reporter: members of the kurdish government welcomed the israeli call for an independent kurdish state and benjamin netanyahu is the first world figure to call for kurdish independence and it clashes with the u.s. preference to keep iraq united. >> translator: we should support international efforts to strengthen jordan and support the kurdish aspiration for independence. regarding the kurds they are a fighting people that have proved their political commitment and political moderation and deserve political independence. al jazeera's jane ferguson has more now.

>> reporter: the speech given by israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu to a think tank last night encompassed a lot of israel lay po -- israeli policy and said independent kurdistan and his foreign minister spoke to u.s. secretary of state john kerry saying an independent kurdistan is an inevitably and not new coming from israel itself and mentioned in concerns there could be a spill over of the troubles in iraq and syria. he has already buffered the border in the golden heights near the demarcation line with syria and intensified the fencing there because so many rockets have spilled over in the last two years, however, in his speech last night he drew on something he mentioned nine months ago, he would like to build a large fence or wall

along the border with jordan and that is the border on the jordan valley between jordan and the occupied west bank and he has mentioned that before but in mentioning it now he linked it to any possibly future details and saying as a result because of what israelis see as a security threat along that border should the trouble spill into jordan even if there was a peace deal with the palestinian tend to maintain military presence in the occupied west bank for the foreseeable future. >> reporter: other world news taliban says it has a foot hold in southern afghanistan after a battle on afghan forces and government forces fighting to push back assault by 800 taliban tighters on police checkpoints and military posts. the afghan army wants to prove it can beat it without help and jennifer glasse reports from kabul. >> this is a key province in southern afghanistan and a haven

for insurgents and center of opium production in afghanistan, was up this year over last year and of course this is the first summer that afghan forces are totally in the lead in afghanistan especially southern afghanistan and fought the taliban last year and lost more than 120 forces in a very, very difficult summer long battle and the fight is going on more than ten days and afghan officials say 28 have been killed, 28 afghan forces have been killed and we know many people have fled the area because of the fighting and taliban has been a sustained assault and attacks police out posts and government areas as well and the afghan military said they fought back but they say they have a foot hold here and it's a test as they prepare to take the forces out by the end of 2014 and it's a key southern province not far

from kandahar and not far from the pakistan border and people said there are pakistan links to insurgency and it's difficult to get a clear picture of what is go on in southern part of this and they sent in reenforcements as it tries to push back the sustained taliban attack sglj neighboring pakistan has evacuated half a million residents from tribal region and it has a house to house search and the military says 15 taliban have been killed in the initial ground advance. in egypt a police colonel has been killed in one of two bomb blasts in cairo and another officer injured and there are protested by the president

mohamed morsi and he was this alexander and it has been a year when he was removed in a coup and he is now the president of egypt, at the same time they accuse him of agenda on the country and threaten democratic gains and we take a look back at a year in egypt. >> reporter: unpresented in size and scope, this was how the opponents of president mohamed morsi describe mass protests staged for his resignation and at this stage he had been in office only a year but they were certain it posed a threat to democracy. the president accused by these protesters of granting himself wide raging powers in a constitutional reform, his group

the muslim brotherhood was attacked for platting to establish an islamic state and they were gaining momentum and this member of the campaign said his movement collected 22 million signatures for a petition calling for mohamed morsi to go but egypt's president was defiant, he offered to make concessions he remained determined to serve out his term and thousands of supporters marched in solidarity. opposition leaders like mohamed would join the crowd in the square and already talking about post morsi era and the army issued a warning urging him to calm the protests or face intervention. three days later on july the third the general si si and the presidency in a military coup

and they went on offensive and a few weeks later he delivered a speech calling on people to protest against the muslim brotherhood. >> translator: i call on all egyptians to take to the streets to give me a mandate and an order to confront violence and terrorism. >> reporter: a move his critics said took the country to the brink of civil war. after weeks of rival protests camed a forced removal of muslim brotherhood supporters who set up support camps and arrest of leaders and supporters and the group being labeled a terrorist organization, a year of turmoil followed. i'm with al jazeera. and we are now just hearing another police officer has been killed in a blast at the presidential palace in cairo in egypt and we will bring in a senior lecture at the politicians of islam studies at

the university and is line from london and good to have you again on al jazeera, one general overview first. >> thank you. >> if you can do you think egypt is better or worse off, removing mohamed morsi from power the right thing to do for egypt? >> i think overwhelming majority will tell you that it's a step far worst in terms of democratic and it's a step forward for empowerment and impunity of multiple armed institutions in the country and ministry of defense and ministry of interior and it's a period of the year that followed the removal of mohamed morsi and witnessed the worse at -- atrocities and like august 15 more than a thousand

people killed in seven hours publically in front of t.v. cameras including shootings of camera men and journalist of sky news and saw many death sentences, hundreds sentenced to death and journalists including al jazeera journalists sentenced to seven years and even if you put the sentencing together almost ten years, so a period of a wave of unprecedented pressure in the country and also impunity on so many principally to the institution. >> they think with the elbow she unnow of si si as president that they hope he will bring back security and stability to egypt but when you hear of attacks just outside the presidential palace in cairo with two soldiers killed do you think this is likely to happen soon or a long time for egypt to be secure and safe again?

>> we have patterns in political science, what happens when a coup is staged against an elected institution or elected figure because when a coup is staged against another general it's usually all palace who as they say one general takes over for another. so it's usually less bloody. but when a coup is staged against an institution with significant support on the ground segments of this support and subsets resist the coup and usually they are the weaker than the armed forces and so what you end up is waves of depression. and we had this incidents all over the 20 and 21st century and earlier from the school in france and from a coup in spain and we have the coup against the indian and most of these coups witnessed waves because they were against institution and to reach the stability and security it takes a while but usually you

have a military dictator ship that that that is dominant and unrest that lasts for years and decades. >> we will have to leave it there and thank you for joining us live from london. >> reporter: thank you. >> israeli journalists delivered a statement and petitions to the egyptian consulate calling for release of al jazeera journalist peter greste and two colleagues and want the egypt government to overturn the verdicts so it can be -- can't be used as a precedent against others in the future. and they must be free to carry out duties the without harassment, intimidation or violence and al jazeera continues to demand release of our journalists in egypt and the three were sentenced last monday and now in prison for 184 days and peter greste and fahmy seven years and the other is ten years

and when you think of flooding you think asia and we have a monsoon across west africa as well and it's a change in wind direction but also normally accompanied by heavy rain. between january and march, in west africa you can see the winds generally come from the northeast and that is a very hot direction for the winds and a very dry one as well and generally there is not much in the way of wet weather just along the far south cost but if we fast forward through the year suddenly the humid air makes its way in and we have the west afri africa monsoon and a lot of rain and there are showers rumbling to the west and over the ivory coast where we have seen some of the worst of the weather. and some places have reported 50 meters of rain and that is just in 24 hours, that is a lot of rain to deal with and we will explain why we now see pictures like this, a lot of widespread

flooding and it's making it very difficult to get about. over the next few days there will yet be rain and heaviest is on that south coast. >> thank you very much indeed, still ahead on al jazeera news hour myanmar targets people and ten years on and it's running rings around saturn and some spectacular images from nasa's probe and in sports the netherlands late come back to give mexico a place in world cup qualifiers and robin will have all the action. ♪ [ grunting ] i'm taking off, but, uh, don't worry. i'm gonna leave the tv on for you. and if anything happens, don't forget about the new xfinity my account app. you can troubleshoot technical issues here.

it. but at home porshenko is pressured to crack down on pro-russia separatists and says five soldiers were killed in battles over the last few days and they shot a camera man in the city of donsk and paul is at the stronghold in eastern ukraine and, paul, the cease fire first, is it likely it will be extended? >> well, there are intensive diplomatic efforts going on at the moment to try to come to some resolution of all of this to achieve some progress. don't forget in the back of the picture there is a prospect of e u sanctions that were put off from last friday when the eu leaders met in brussels but kept on the table as a threat and did not produce an influence with the separatist movement by today and their sanctions would be back on the table and the

difficulty is there has been little progress over the weekend despite conference calls that took place on sunday and another one due today by the german chancellor and france and putin and what is regarding the cease fire that has been repeatedly violated in the last ten days. there are pockets of eastern ukraine where the cease fire has meant almost nothing and this is official army footage that showed another exchange of fire north of slovansk this weekend and this is a burned out check point where three soldiers were killed in a separatist attack and this is separatist controlled and the new commander says he takes his orders from a russian, the military chief in slovansk and deals elsewhere do

not concern him. >> translator: we have only one boss and that is that his commands be carried out and i do not get in politics, i'm a military man. >> reporter: it's it to appreciate in this part of the world the separatist command structure is a patch work of different authorities and cease fires proposed by separatists leaders in that direction are ignored by separatist malitia leaders five kilometers in that direction and we have heard it since we are standing here and it means solving complex differences and rivalries between the different separatist commanders and leaves residents caught in cross fire and many people have simply left here. but the elderly are often too frail to flee. >> translator: it's so scary, we suffered so much in world war ii and now we have this war, it's scary. >> reporter: others are just

weary of conflict. >> translator: probably the whole population here wants just peace and quiet, it will be difficult to find people who support either side because you can see how the city is. >> reporter: in kiev president porshenko is faced with a dilemma and growing dissent, his original cease fire did not result in separatist surrender and angering supporters. >> translator: a truce did not bring results except deaths of soldiers and 72 hours of truce will not bring any results either. >> translator: porshenko announced a truth and 20 people died and extended it three more days and young boys were killed and four the day before yesterday were killed, how long can it last? >> reporter: it cannot last, a crucial decision is looming. and that's the problem that president porshenko, the

relatively newly elected the president of ukraine here faces with a domestic audience he cannot alienate and international pressure too and there will be another conference call aren'ted between the four world leaders and hopes that progress can be made but they have not been able to make much progress over the past through days of the extension so you wonder what the merit is for a second extension. >> reporter: thank you very much, that is paul live from donsk. italian navy said the migrants they found on a fishing boat sophisticated to death and this was between malta and sicily and 600 migrants coming from libya and they rescued 5,000 migrants in 24 hours. in india they pulled two more from the rubble of a 11-story

dozens dead and 140,000 people displaced and the government does not recognize it as a group and when it carries out a census in april said not to include them and the same rule is in this citizenship screening exercises and people without papers are given a chance to prove they or their parents lived in the country before 1948 and those who identify themselves as bengali or other minority are eligible and many lack the necessary documents. kin kin kin is muslim and her parents are citizens but somehow did not register her or her siblings. by law she should be a citizen but her parents lost their identification cards during the riots. >> translator: my father said he wants to see us as citizens of this country before he dies, generations of our family have lived here so he will try and do what he can.

years ago, the south voted for independence and took a third of the landmarks and 75% of the oil and most of expert earnings. many critics accuse his government of doing more harm than good. >> islam as rulers, they have a chance and a very much deep lack of trust and they have even flared up with anger. >> reporter: they create social tensions. last september thousands took to the streets to protest, protests that are put down with violence. on the international level the international criminal court accuses him against crimes and against humanity on opposition figures and activists have been jailed and the government says it improved lives with roads,

bridges and refineries constructed under his leadership but acknowledges these are indeed difficult times. >> the economy is suffering as you said. with the resources that are left after the separation of them, for oil and with the resources including cultural and we are going to continue to try to pull up our economy. >> reporter: that reassurance will likely have little effect only thousands of people who have been out in the last 25 years, i'm mohamed with al jazeera. brazil is one of the most ethnically diverse countries in the world so when it comes to supporting a team during the world cup many fans have divided loyalty and gabrielle alexander reports. ♪

within months it encircled the entire planet and it was in large areas and throws dust up in the atmosphere and he has been in all written for ten years it's impossible to study like ever before and it's rock and ice and ripple and the rings gave scientists insight into the solar system and joining us is a man studying in the planets in the solar system and live from london and thank you for being with us and in your view what has changed in the last ten years, what have question learned about our plantarry systems? >> he has given an unprecedented oversight of how saturn works and saturn has moons and the rings and the planet itself, its atmosphere and this is the first time really we had a satellite

in orbit around a giant planet for so long and for saturn it was the first time ever we had a space craft in orbit so we managed to study in great detail the wonderful discoveries you just mentioned and others about tightening itself and many of the other icy moons of saturn, for example we made many new discoveries and saladis and throwing out plumes of water and that is something nobody had done before and gives us a completely new view of how saturn works, how the saturn system works and also gives us a path towards finding other life forms outside of earth. >> okay, there are a lot of accomplishments and discoveries as we mentioned. what is the most important one for you, in your opinion what strikes you the most about what has been accomplished in the last ten years? >> this is obviously my personal opinion and depends who you talk

to. probably the most interest discovery for me personally was about titan and its upper atmosphere and atmosphere in general which is so complicated that we never imagined before. there is chemistry going on in there which we never knew from earth and which we don't know at all how it works. titan has been shown to a world alive much like earth and not alive that there are living beings but it has an active weather system with rain on titan and open lakes on the surface and the only body with open liquids on the surface. so the discoughry of the richness of titan as a body has been the most exciting discovery. >> thank you for talking to us live from london. time to catch up on all the sports and the latest from
