9:06 am
like tikrit. the group that is fighting there aren't part of the islamic state in iraq and the levant. they are an operate rebel group. they're fighting simply for regime change here in baghdad. their war is against prime minister nouri al-maliki. it is not to form a counterfeit. they did form the islamic state because they were well funded. now now a caliphate, it means that they need to pledge allegiance and will continue their fight or whether to go it alone. let's see what happens in the coming days. the reaction from the sunni rebels is key. >> imron khan in baghdad.
9:07 am
>> there was a statement issued before the islamic state announcement which says that isis continues to besiege syrian revolutionary forces on the border between iraq and syria. the key to defeating the al-qaeda off shoot isis wases to strengthen the tribes. >> these pictures are said to show fighters heading to the crossing with iraq. it is controlled by al-qaeda el musra fighters from the el nusra front. they are cooperates with the fighters in the area. let's get more in doha. he has filmed fighters in

9:09 am
to have an islamic state. but their means of getting that is a bit different. if you have the other islamic groups which is primarily syria. for example, the islamic front, they have a better way of dealing with the syrian people. however, isis is 96% foreign, so they have a difficult time getting people to understand them and understanding other people. >> you met them personally. >> yes, i have. >> what is your view of them? as fighters and religious zealots, how did you find them? >> there are two different kinds. you have the ordinary fighter. some of them are actually very nice people. very sincere. but then you have others who are on an upper level in terms of they are commanders and leaders, which may have a different agenda. >> what do you mean they may
9:10 am
have a different agenda? do you mean more violent? more extreme? >> for example, if you look at the sum military. sometimes the government has an agenda, and sometimes the soldiers may think they're fighting for a particular ideology or cause which the government does not share with them. so they're not always one and the same. likewise with the isis group i do believe there is a disconnect to some extent between their fighters and their leadership. >> just briefly. they have declared this caliphate. do they have the resources to run a caliphate that size? >> i don't think the idea is whether or not they have the forces. the idea is if they can sell that, and they haven't done that yet. >> iraqs kurds pla have been shoring up their defenses.

9:31 am
european union met in brussels although the idea of further sanctions was sheffield they were left on the back burner to be rekindled on monday, today, if concrete progress with russia was not forthcoming. there will be another conference qualit call between the russian president, the ukrainian president and the chancellor of germany. but on the ground there continues to be the breaking of the cease-fire and the renewed all-out conflict is almost inevitable. >> 13 dead migrants have been discovered off a smuggler's boat off the coast of italy. it's an example of the hundreds who come from africa to italy 2347 this is turning into an
9:32 am
exodus. 5,000 migrants were rescued off the coast of italy during the weekend. most were saved by italian navy before their ricketing boats ran i into trouble. but 30 migrants died of asphyxiation in a boat packed with 600. never before have so many been found dead on the same boat, shipwrecks including. a forewarning of what is about to come. summer is also known as boat season. because of weather and calm seas, the number of migrants trying to reach the shores of italy rises dramatically, but never before has so many arrived so soon. more than 60,000 migrants have made this perilous trip in 2013. hundreds of thousands of syrians are escaping the civil war in
9:33 am
their home country and they're this is behind some of the recent trends. but with resources already strained italy has repeatedly called for its european neighbors to come to its aid. it comes when e.u. changes presidency on the first of july. >> in india rescuers have pulled two more survivors from a 11 story apartment building. done men have carried out attacks in three villages in northern nigeria but no response from the government. the death toll is unknown and
9:34 am
witnesses believe it to be in the dozens. the attacks took place to chibok where over 200 high school girls were kidnapped by boko haram. it's been 25 years since they divided to create a new country. >> reporter: it has been 25 years since the president came to power. those conflicts killed thousands and forced millions from their homes. sudan has already been hurt economically. the biggest fiscal shock is south sudan operation three years ago. it voted for independence and
9:35 am
took away with it 75% of its oil,s depriving khartoum of its expert earnings. it has done more harm than good. >> they have taken this chance and taken us back to a much deeper division, and they have even created anger. >> reporter: there have been social tensions. thousands took to the streets to protest hikes in prices. protests that were put down with violence. at the international level the international criminal court accuses its president of war crimes. several opposition figures and activists have been jailed. the government said its proof that these are, indeed,
9:36 am
difficult times. >> the economy is suffering, as you said, with the resources that are left after the operation of the service with magnificent resources in sudan including minerals, agriculture resources. we'll continue to try to pull up our economy. >> reporter: that reassurance will likely have little effect on the thousands of sudanese whose lives have been altered by the violence over the last 25 years. >> well, david hoyle. 25 years how has his leadership shaped the sudan, if at all, and across the region? >> well, i think it's been an extraordinary number of years. he has changed the fate of the
9:37 am
country, absolutely and played a large part of the falling events in the region itself. he has changed the politics in many ways. he inherited a feudal system where you can elect your head of state. he changed that. there are now democratic elections in that country. and economically he disenfranchised the country because of the oil that has come to fruition. he has played a landmark role in sudan. >> 22 years of civil war, separation, he lost a lot of oil. you wonder how long he can last. >> well, the simple fact is there has not been a single day in the last 25 years of his rule that sudan has not been at war. he inherited africa's
9:38 am
longest-running most vicious silve civil war, he has had a number of conflicts thrust upon him, and he has been a subject of destabilization that involve two or three of his neighbors invading his country from time to time. he has actually weathered all that. he has weathered challenges from the right and from the left. he is an extraordinary politician. >> has he been good for sudan. we're looking at the number of sudanese in need of aid have rose by half in the last year. >> i think one of the sad things, of course, is that although they were part of the oil project that puts sudan on the oil exporting map, recent difficulties in the last two years with export of oil from
9:39 am
south sudan through the north and also the war in south sudan has meant that the oil revenues, which had come to play a very important part in the economy, have all but vanished. that has led to economic stagnation in parts of the country. and it's a great sadness. again, not a huge amount he could really do about that. >> david hoile in london. thanks, david. >> argentina is on track to make a key payment, failure to pay is could lead to the country's second largest debt default. it would effect everything from internationa currency to international trade. the deadline has come for argentina to pay its creditors. does the government intend to pay, or will it be forced to
9:40 am
default? >> well, the cap innocent minister has been meeting and it does intend to pay all its creditors, although the deadline as you say there is a 30 day grace period in which argentina will be negotiating with the hedge funds. they insist on calling it the vulture funds and the ruling on argentina. there has been a lot of movement between buenos aires, new york, and washington, d.c. with argentina saying it will pay its debt to all its creditors, but again the cabinet minister emphasized not under any conditions. they want to arrange the conditions which compromise on the condition to be able to pay off the debt, the 7% of creditors, who refuse to restructure their debt in
9:41 am
condition that meet both sides, argentina, and to the creditors. >> okay, so it's not just money, is it. at the same time the vice president is facing corruption charges. is he likely to survive? >> reporter: well, this has come at a time men argentina has set to re-establish it's reputation on the international money market. the fact that the vice president, the former economy minister will be charged with corruption. there will an trial in the next few weeks or months, it does not help argentina's case very much. the president and her cabinet until now have stood very firmly along side mr. bador and now way they want to see what the court rules in this particular case. we are already waiting to hear what the president has to say. he has not spoken since the judge decided there was a case
9:42 am
to answer the weekend. we'll bait to see if she continues to stand by him. but as time passes it looks increasingly unlikely that he'll survive in his post as vice president much longer. >> thank you, daniel. a lawyer hired by u.s. carmaker general motors. the company plans to pay the victims who died or suffered injures from faulty ignition switches. >> there is no reason after two weeks after he died that i got the first recall. they knew about it. >> their stories of losses have been broadcast internationally. >> g.m. needs to be held accountable for their actions. >> now g.m. said it will make amends. it's kenneth feinberg who will died the fine of a life.
9:43 am
and he was paid millions by bp to settle things following the deep oil horizon under much criticism that he was shielding the oil company. g.m. acknowledges the deaths resulted from the ignition default. but 309 deaths shown due to airbags not deploying. it's not clear if it will include loss of control due to power steering and brake failure. that would increase the number of potential claimants and there is the los claim of economic loss. even the prospect of a
9:44 am
department of justice fine is shrugged off. >> you also have got a lot of politics in which the u.s. government spent $50 million saving this company. they're not going to do something to damage it. it just doesn't make sense. >> reporter: g.m. hopes that victim also accept a quick payout and not challenge its contention that it is not legally liable for incidents that occurred before it's restructuring in 2009. >> our daughters, sons, sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers, wives, and husbands are gone because they were a cost of doing business g.m. style. >> but feinberg will have to make a convincing case on monday for potential plaintiffs not to use the formidable groups of lawyers they have already heard in the past successfully secured billions of dollars from big tobacco and other car manufacturers. al jazeera, washington. >> president obama plans to ask congress for $2 billion to deal with the child migrant crisis in the united states.
9:45 am
50,000 children from central america have crossed the border illegally since october. obama wants tightening border security and faster deportation of children who are caught. thousands continue to make the dangerous journeys north to the u.s. >> the number of people attempting to leave central america to enter the united states illegally continues to rise. most of the people we talked to say they before the dangers of the journey to the risks of violence they would face at home. while the flow of would-be migrants come north, buses deport migrants who have been caught in mexico before they even make it to the united states. most of those include unaccompanied minors, anothers with children and families. they say that there are rumors
9:46 am
and honduras has the highest murder rate and neighboring el salvador and guatemala have high rates of violence. >> still to come on the news hour, the costa rica fans celebrate qualification for the world cup quarterfinals, their first time ever.

9:48 am
>> the costa rica fairytale goes on. here is robin. >> thank you very much, stephen. costa rica qualified for the quarterfinals in the world cup. the costa ricans have been the surprise factor and took the lead against greece in this last 16 clash. it took a turn for the worse, greece then leveled the match at 1-1 in the final men of the game to force extra time. it eventually went to penalties, and this gave them a chance to send costa rica through. and in the cota recan capitol of
9:49 am
san jose, we have more. >> reporter: costa rica is unbelievable. they have made it to the quarterfinals of the world cup. costa rica has been the underdog coming into this tournament. they were the cinderella story nobody thought they would make it to the knock out round. having beaten greece to go to the quarterfinals. they're even giving their children to me. this is a huge moment for people who will be able to make it to the next step to the quarterfinals of the world cup. now they've advanced beyond this stage making history. they say they want to go to take this to the semifinals and possibly the finals. the next step is the quarterfinals. the fans are behind them. the players are i'm sure feeling
9:50 am
very confident. you can sense the excitement in costa rica. >> the netherlands have staged a very late come back to beat mexico. the mexicans were bidding for their first quarterfinal in 28 years. they would level the match at 1-1 with two minutes left in regular time, and then in extra time robin was fouled by marquez. robin denied accusations that he dived. and mexico has lost their knock out matches at world cup. >> not a result that mexican fans here in the capitol of mexico city were hoping for to go down 2-1 to the dutch team,
9:51 am
but mexico played a very hard-fought match, and many here expected them to win and go to the quarterfinals for the first time since 1986. they've only been twice to the quarterfinals and both times the world cup had been held in mexico. despite the loss there are fans who express solidarity here. some say they were robbed, there wasn't a penalty in stoppage time. >> victory was ours already, and unfortunately the team was put on the defensive. the referee never gave them a yellow card. >> this is a blatant robbery? what can we do? >> keep in mind mexico barely qualified for the world cup in brazil and the fact that they
9:52 am
performed so well in the group stage and made it to the world stage was a surprise so when the mexico national team will be greeted with love and compassion and not any sort of rejection. >> four teams will continue to fight for a place. now the french have influential midfielder back from suspension. they have mutt the payment of bonuses behind them as they intend to make it to the quarterfinals for the first time. >> before the competition we were never labeled as one of the favorites. now we achieved great things in the group phase but we're entering a new tournament now. it's really about the cup now. every game can be the last. so you need a lot of efforts, energy and a lot of concentration. it's a very high level now and you need to be ready for
9:53 am
everything. >> it is the convention of tournament that we used to have. you could set apart six good countries that they will get to the semifinal, final, and who would take the cup. but here we don't know who is going to win the cup. >> germany took on nigeria in the knock out round match. algeria's at the world cup. >> we have a very serious opponent who has three world cups. they are a very good candidate to be champions again. we have to try to keep possession of the ball. you know what the german
9:54 am
mentality is like, their physical fitness, they're in very good shape. this will be very challenging. >> we know what to expect. this is a team that will give it's all. one that will show they serve to be in the round. this is a team that doesn't want you to get a goal. it's an unpleasant team to play but we have to look at what we have to do. we have to deliver. >> we must not look forward to the next round after this. first of all we have to deal with this difficult task against algeria, and we have to win this match. it's extremely important in this tournament you take it step by step. my person feeling, i'm very calm, i'm relaxed. i'm confident just as the team is. >> receiving less than welcome home from the world cup, south

9:57 am
programs a run for their money. increasingly foreigners are coming here to launch their satellites because it is so cost effective and reliable. the prime minister said launching their mars mission here cost less than the making of the hollywood movie "gravity." a bit of startling information there. and they said the space program will continue to enjoy support from india's government. >> activately ten years since the space probe arrived in is saturn's orbit. it would send ten years exploring it's orbit, and three years later it's sending extraordinary images. it will continue for four more years. that's it from us. jane with you next.
