6:03 pm
>> reporter: in response israel will increase their bombing campaign. nearly all of them empty training grounds. this is one of the sites of one of the israeli strikes. you can still smell the sulfur in the air from the missile that hit here. it destroyed this structure and ripped that tree in half. up until recently it created this huge crater right here which has been filled in with dirt. >> so far both sides are struck only empty areas thanks to an agreement between israel and hamas. >> each party reacts to the other side in accordance to the nature of the attack launched. [ explosion ] >> reporter: israel must now decide whether to escalate. prime minister benjamin netanyahu said that he would. >> if we need to we'll expand the battle. if anyone thinks that they will
6:04 pm
achieve anything of terrorism they will find the opposite results. >> reporter: he seems to have the majority support. that national grief has turned to angry. >> the anger has spilled out in the streets of jerusalem. some chanting death to arabs. police an right wing activists have clashed in jerusalem. there have been 18 to 19 arrests, some tried to storm mcdonald's looking for arab workers. and many are waiting for israel to try and decide how it's going to respond to death and destruction to three israeli teenagers. >> nick schifrin reporting for us. it was the funeral of a palestinian man killed hours after the israelis were discov discovered. as they carried out an arrest raid. the israeli army said that the man was throwing a grenade.
6:05 pm
palestinian witnesses deny that claim. the meeting ended early after lawmakers failed to come to an agreement on new leaders. and it failed to come to an defensive of sunni rebels now known as the islamic state. >> iraq's parliament met for the first time but they did not get very far. they were supposed to elect a new speaker but before that could happen shouting spoke out. after the break not enough came bac back to continue the session, so they're adjourning for the week, to allow them to agree on who should be the next prime minister. odds are it probably won't be prime minister nouri al-maliki. he's seen too divisive of a
6:06 pm
figure. but question is who will replacement. the iraqi military continues to make gains against fighters of the now named islamic state. they attacked the city with the holy shrine that came under mortar fire. it has cleared the highway to samarra, and now claims it owns that territory. fighters in the area still pose a consider threat and iraq is trying to get weapons, ammunition, passenger and aircraft anywhere it can. the defense ministry announced today that it had flown in at least five used russian fighter jets that it will use to supplement it's air space until it gets american f-16s. a grim milestone noted by the united nations as well. 2,000 iraqis were killed in june. that's the highest figure
6:07 pm
since 2007 when iraq was in the grip of a civil war. the united nations said most of those who died were civilians. >> the political en pass in iraq comes as president obama sends more troops to the country to protect u.s. citizens and property. we're joined now by mike viqueira from the white house. what is the reaction to the developments in iraq? >> reporter: the president himself continues to call the situation in iraq an existential threat to the country and that threat is only growing worse. it was mid-june when just outside of iraq their purpose and mission was to secure the u.s. embassy and protect u.s. lives and property. last night they announced they're sending 100 more individuals to do that very same thing. they said that isil continues to press it towards baghdad to the north and west. they call the situation very
6:08 pm
fluid. that's what led to this recalibration and in addition to even more troops. meanwhile, here at the white house they continue it insist that any reconciliation in the iraqi government has to come before airstrikes armaments. and as we just heard the first session of parliament ended in aggi acrimony. >> we need the leadership that have country to put the interest of the country first, not to fall back into old habits but seek to rise above those divisions, place the interest of the country first than that will insure that the nation can be united as they confront this grave threat of isil. >> when we talk about these numbers it's important to note that these individuals more than 200 individuals, 270 have been sent into iraq to help protect
6:09 pm
american property. keep that separate from the 300 adviser who is are there to assist and assess the iraqi capability. >> we heard that iraq is relying more on russia and iran resources. >> yes. >> why didn't the u.s. doing more to help? >> they're insisting that the government house is in order. there obviously a lot of questions here. if the united states comes in heavy with airstrikes and we know reconnaissance flights around the clock, but when does it end if there is no iraqi government in place? the united states insists there has to be that solution and step forward in politics. the iraqi prime minister gave a speech, he was asked about the russian fighters sent to iraq, and iran assisting iraq. it's security situation. he said, look, if the united states is not going to help us, the f-16 transfers are held up.
6:10 pm
the apache helicopter transfers are held up. we're going to have to look elsewhere. >> mike viqueira for us. thank you. while iraq's political leaders debate the country's future there are sectarian battles against sunni rebels who have declared a caliphate. kurdish soldiers try to keep them out of their territory. >> this kurdish general has been losing men on the front line. they show me the mothe mortar that hit their base. they tell me the attack is one of many from the last few weeks. >> this is strategic territory, and we're obliged to be here to protect it. the islamic state fighters want to reach kirkuk city.
6:11 pm
>> we are in kirkuk southern region. this oil-rich province has been claimed by the arab kurds and turkish communities. they laid claim to kirkuk arab districts, they are now positioned at the edge where they launch attacks against kurdish forces. >> the iraqi army fled when the islamic state fighters stormed it. we have to take our position here to protect the people and protect kirkuk. >> the forces were never based here. the sunni offensive against the iraqi government allowed kurdish forces to expand their areas of control. this is part of the district of the taza which lies on the front line. it's an area 30 populated by shia turk men.
6:12 pm
well, it used to. they have fled. the iraqi flag is still hoisted here. the armed men did not want to be filmed. they are tush men, members of the iraqi police oh force, and they are still wearing their uniforms. but they feel abandoned by the government in baghdad and cheated by the kurds. >> there are those who want to divide iraq. they're just protecting the territory they grabbed. >> chia tusshia turk men fighters have reluctantly admit without them the flag of the self-declared islamic state would be here instead. >> the supreme court made it clear today that it's decision on the affordable care act's contraception mandate was not a narrow one. the justice it's left in place
6:13 pm
lower court rule ruleings. yesterday's ruling in the hobby lobby case said that it ask not have to pay for certain forms of birth control. >> my goodness, team usa is fight to go make it to the next round in the world cup. now michael yves is here with a look at what has happened so far. >> you feel the air being sucked? not out of the studio but out of the entire-- >> the nation, the nation. can we go that far? >> just the mainland being sucked right up. let's talk about what happened any way. well, it's been 12 years since the u.s. made the quarter finals to the world cup, and repeating that feat would be no easy task. now there were originally
6:14 pm
several reasons for the americans to be hopeful in this match up. only one belgium scored four goals and altidore would be able to play, but did he not play, and then it would be 0-0 and then over time and heroics and heroics, finally he has given up two goals in extra time. he has 14 saves, which is the most bay goali by a goalie in world cup since 1966. the problem is you can't continue to do that. >> you need a team. you need a squad. at one point the belgium has outshot the u.s. 31-7. that's hard to win 31-7 getting a shot. there is still time to be played in extra time. we'll have an update for you of course throughout the evening in al jazeera america. what was really a question if the u.s. was going to win is if they won who would they play in their next game?
6:15 pm
that answer was revealed when argentina faced switzerland in a game that also went into over time. messi for the 1-0 lead. now switzerland would get a great scoring chance moments later only to see the header go off the post and then off the flee knee, and argentina would win it 1-0. the nation goes crazy back home. and that would--that would set up the match. >> would that have been great? >> as it stands right now with belgium leading 2-0 in extra time it will be belgium most likely moving ton face argentina again the u.s. trying to get to the quarterfinals for the first time since 2002. argentina has been to the quarter finals in the past three world cups. >> tell me what you're watching. i watched a bit of it, and it looked like belgium was getting the better of the action. >> in the first half of this game the u.s. squad was very
6:16 pm
aggressive. the coach of the u.s. team wanted to see that. and in group play they had one striker, and in the second half they fell back. they played well but they were constantly seemingly on defense. when do you that, american sports you play baseball, basketball, football, you play defense you give up points. >> sometimes you do that because you're tired. did they look like a tired side to you? they did to me. >> i saw some of the guys from belgium huffing and puffing. but it's the energy you exert on defense versus defense you exert on offense. offense you know what you're doing. from a mental standpoint in defense you have to figure out what the other team is doing, that drains you. you can't play it that long of time and expect to win.
6:17 pm
>> michael yves with us. soccer othousands of soccer fans in new york. john, this has been a tense match throughout. the crowd is on a rollercoaster ride, isn't it. >> oh, tony, we're all so sad. and some of the fans have begun leaving because with 2-0 in the extra period it's difficult to imagine team u.s. fighting back. i want to introduce you to some friends who are all fans. they are all down--talk to me-- [ cheering ] >> well, that will teach me not to speak too soon, i suspect because live on ajam there is the goal the u.s. team has been hoping for. it was 2-0 in extra time. now it's 2-1. they managed to fight back.
6:18 pm
[ cheering ] and i'm surrounded by fans who are absolutely. [ chanting usa ] >> i'm surrounded by fans who are absolutely thrilled. they're chanting usa. remember, the u.s. is still a goal down in this extra time. it's still belgium 2, united states 1. but nonetheless you heard the reaction there. steve, talk to me about tim howard the goalie. the team is tim howard, you were saying. >> yes, i believe honestly this game if it wasn't for tim howard we would be 3-0. possibly even 4-1, thank god. but luckily we still have a chance. that's why i'm staying to the end. you never know. this world cup has been all kinds of crazy. it's been exciting. >> thank you. this is niela. what was going through your mind
6:19 pm
when belgium scored. >> the first thing i was thinking what are they doing? they can only do so much. i understand, but i believe we can win. we just got to go p i believe. >> well done. niela. tell me can they win this? >> yes. >> i think that's another chant for the u.s. team but i don't think they actually scored that time around. matthew. what do you think of the team, what is the thing that makes them so great, just quickly. >> i think they have a lot more support this year, and i think that now we've got josie altidore more spirit. back to you. it's not over yet. >> all right, 2-1, 2-1, 2-1, coming up on al jazeera america. lawmakers in washington just made it he'dier for themselves to take all expense paid trips
6:20 pm
without the rest of us knowing anything about it. and the dow jones industrial average closes in on a milestone, but not many americans are seeing those gains triple down to them. ali velshi takes a look. that's next. when you run a business, you can't settle for slow. that's why i always choose the fastest intern.
6:21 pm
the fastest printer. the fastest lunch. turkey club. the fastest pencil sharpener. the fastest elevator. the fastest speed dial. the fastest office plant. so why wouldn't i choose the fastest wifi? i would. switch to comcast business internet and get the fastest wifi included. comcast business. built for business.
6:22 pm
>> in today's power politics it is now going to be more difficult for the public to learn which members of congress are lavished with all expenses paid trips around the world. david shuster with more. >> reporter: yes, tony, the republican-led house stripped away the annual disclosure forms. the move made behind closed doors and without public comment goes against 30 years of precedence. gifts to lawmakers almost always showed up. this development first reported by the national journal has prompted outrage by watchdog groups. saying quote, this is such an
6:23 pm
obvious empty to avoid accountability. there is no reason for it. free trips must still be reported by office of the clerk but they will be absent from the main document that reporters and members have used for years to examine lawmakers' finances. the most recent gallop survey shows the congressional approval rating now stands at 16%. that is the worst since 40 years ago and will set the stage for turnover. john boehner is trying to improve his image. it proper tray portrays boehner as an action hero fighting ire marks. >> when it comes to earmarks we kept our promise. the fifth year in a row we're doing appropriation measures
6:24 pm
without earmarks. defense authorization bill, no earmarks. highway bill, no earmarks. and now the water resources bill, no earmarks. >> finally toronto mayor rob ford is now back on the job. he finished his latest drug rehab program. ford spoke about the experience. >> some of the things i did when i was using i am ashamed embarrassed and humiliated. >> but not so humiliated to end his re-election campaign. he'll face the voters again this fall. he's running for re-election. that's our power politics. >> today was a record day for the stock a market with the dow
6:25 pm
closing just shy of 17,000. for more of what is going on with wall street and how that compares with main street, let's go to ali velshi, the man. >> reporter: i cede my time ba back. >> is that crazy with the match that is being played. >> reporter: and you ask me to talk about the dow at 17 thoughts. >> that's what i ask of you. that's something you're up to this task. what is happening today. the man, ali velshi. >> reporter: i'm going to try. the dow snuck up to within two points of 17,000 today. the number itself is of zero relevant. but as you know these round numbers cause people to watch their t.v.'s and see what's going on and read things in the newspaper. it make you think about your investments. about half of americans have investments in the stock market. it was a good day for the dow.
6:26 pm
it gained about a percent. some people say big deal about a per sent. this is a big thing. s&p 500, that also set another record. it's up 7% so far this year but over the last 12 months the s&p 500 is up 23%. the nasdaq hit a 14-year high and gained more than a percent. the second half of the year starts today. not a bad start. america's economy is steadily recovering. solid corporate profits and of course the main thing that makes people feel wealthy, these low interest rates, central banks pumping money into the world economy, home prices going up. that's the headline.
6:27 pm
all you have to do is scratch a little bit. >> you just outlined it. what about main street. >> the problem is as you scratch you realize this is a bifurcated economy. this is not the old adage that a rising tied lifts all boats. it's simply not working in america. a rising tied is lifting fancy boats. if you have stocks, and that's about half of america, boy, you have done well since 2009. you have more than doubled your money that was invested. if you had money invested in the house. if you had money to give it credit you have done well. even in las vegas, phoenix, southern california, atlanta, home prices have gone up. but really there is a problem. you have a lot of long-term unemployed. you have a stock market that is rising by some accounts faster than it should be. you know, it's looking pretty good out there, but it's not
6:28 pm
evenly distributed. >> you're right about that. ali, it's nice to see you. john terrett wants his time ba back. >> i cede it willingly. >> "real money with ali velshi" coming up, ali, good to see you. israel vows to pay for the death of three teenagers. and the first named tropical storm of the season going up the eastern seaboard. can we go back to chicago. look at this crowd. we're in extra time, i understand. belgium is up 2-1, i don't know how much time is left in extra time but we're getting close here. we'll give you an update on the score. but look at all the people staying through the bitter end. this is al jazeera.
6:31 pm
>> israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said his country will not rest until it if a finds who abducted and killed three teenagers. the teens bodies were found near where they went missing last month. net had netanyahu has blamed hamas for their deaths. i spoke with the founding director of the institute of international affairs in notre dame, and i asked if the situation in the west bank between israel and had hamas will escalate. >> i think cooler heads will prevail on both sides. it's not clear on the hamas side that hamas central sanctioned this kidnapping and murder of the three israeli teenagers.
6:32 pm
on the israeli side i think the netanyahu government is willing to push this to drive a wedge between fatah and hamas, and the breakdown of peace negotiations. but beyond that neither side has an interest in escalation to something like 2006. >> yes, what are the response options to israel as you see it? we keep hearing there is going to be something more robust. what do you see as the options here? >> i don't think there are a lot of options. they'll blow up the houses of the two suspects on the west bank. they dropped some bombs in gaza, and you know, there may be targeted killing down the road if they can identify someone who
6:33 pm
they think is possibly connected with this, but there aren't many good options beyond what's already happened. >> talk to me on your thoughts about how you think this might be used by netanyahu to draw a wedge into what is taking shape. we know there is a long way between talking about an unity government and hamas and fatah getting there. how might they use it now to tease out the separation points? >> by linking hamas to the brutal killing of these teenagers, it's certainly--it paints them in a bad light in terms of international public opinion. i don't think the fatah people are under any illusions of working with hamas, but this is just one more example of the problems that it presents.
6:34 pm
the other thing that was rooted, and i don't know if netanyahu will go ahead with this but there was a proposal to build another settlement in and around the bodies were found. it will change the story from israeli settlements to the heinous events. >> a civilian patrol group said 56 people were killed in a car bombing today, the blast occurred just after a market opened for business. witnesses say the explosives were hidden under a load of charcoal in a van.
6:35 pm
fighting in ukraine after a cease-fire ended monday. operatests exchanged arrest till ratheartillery fire. >> reporter: just 30 minutes after the army cease-fire expired, by the time president poroshenko went on television to appeal for the understanding of the people of eastern ukraine no one here was watching. with the militia fighter under way, some of the elderly residents have stopped venturing above ground at all. >> it was really scary. the windows were all broken. we're left out electricity or gas.
6:36 pm
just awful. >> when the shelling began, she came to find every window in her argument blown out. she wants help from the united states. >> i don't know what i'm going to do. honestly, i have no idea. you have to have obama do something. >> the checkpoint south of the town we found refugees bound for the russian border. >> president poroshenko promised a campaign aimed at the militants not the public of ukraine. but people are scared. and they're already leaving. >> as they wave through the glass to their fathers. >> we never thought it would turn out like this. we didn't expect this.
6:37 pm
there are no words to describe it. >> they're bombing homes and schools. that's why i'm waving off my grandchildren today. to get them as far away from here as i can. >> my children and grandchildren are gone. and i'm left here alone with my husband. they're bombing us from the airplanes. >> even with the cease-fire over international diplomatic efforts are i don't know going. but in separatist towns of ukraine it feels that diplomacy failed long ago. >> in france former president nicola nicholas sarkozy has been detained and questioned about possible financial fraud. he is accused of trying to bribe a judge in position for monaco in exchange for information on a campaign finance investigation. now sarkozy has denied all accusations of wrongdoing
6:38 pm
energies china thousands gathered in hong kong to push for autonomy and democratic reform. organizers say china's communist party impose too many restrictions on hong kong. and in japan the government has changed its passcy fist government, and now it will be able to use military force against other nations. >> there is no doubt that japan's military, self defense force trains to fight. but since the end of world war ii never has. it's pacifist has been limited to the nation. until now. it has been approved to come to the aid of an ally known under

collective self defense. >> i have the heavy responsibility as prime minister to protect the livelihood of our citizens. taking that in account this resolution will begin preparations for laying framework for new security edge. >> they had to respond to a changing environment allowing troops to respond more fully in promoting regional and national security. >> for world peace japan will contribute more than it has up to this point. any conflict it must be resolved not through force but international law and diplomacy. >> despite that this move is a decisive one. opposition at 15% with just 34% in favor. many of those protesting are angered by the fact that the people and representatives in the parliament have been by passed. the controversial change itself is the way that shinzo abe has gone about it. the constitution would required
6:40 pm
two-thirds majority and national referendum, he simply chose to reinterpret the existing language. >> if i were he i would reifies the constitution and seek public approval. but he acted rashly and ignored the constitution. as a japanese citizen living under the cruel of a democratic constitution it simply astonishes me. >> it provoked hostile reaction from its neighbor where imperial reaction still burns. this is in the south carolinae soutsouth korean capitol. opposition between the two countries over the islands was cited one for run for updating it's military stance. abe does have the support of the united states. the country that drafted japan's pacifist constitution now welcoming its emergence as a more active military partner. al jazeera, tokyo. >> a researcher accused of

6:48 pm
are really sophisticated, and they appear to be based in eastern europe and russia and to be government spies. they say the attackers gain access through the computer systems running pipelines and power plants. the fear is that the hackers could literally shut off the lights. they are some of america's most vulnerable sites, power plants, pipelines and dams all controlled by computers. they were threatened by energic bear. >> all they're trying to do is obtain the credential but the worry is control over the system. >> the fear is something like this. the black out in 2003 when millions in the northeast went without power for two days. >> some of these organizations look to control criminal infrastructure, power grid, pipelines, wind generation facilities, things like that.

6:50 pm
detected. it's a constant reactive type of game. >> an expert told me there is another reason why energic bear seems to be linked to government. hackers working on their own don't usually work a daytime schedule like the hackers that use this malware. >> social media is up in arms about a texas teen hunting in africa. we're going to show you the pictures in just a second. >> reporter: kendall jones is 19 years old and has been hunting for years. over the last few weeks she posted pictures next to the th animals she has been hunting in zimbabwe. this is a white springbok and here she is with her team. she took some camera crews to zimbabwe. she's holding the lebano

deserve the title of some of the best teams in the world. it was a tremendous game. it was 0-0 after the first two halves. we go to extra time and early on belgium back on the attack, and they would net the first goal of the game. tim howard had played tremendously well in net for the u.s. team. but kevin debruns. and even in extra time you play two 15-minute halves. the extra time was in their favor but belgium comes back eight minutes later. teammates of tim howard in the epl, and puts belgium up 2-0. that's when you would think all the air was sucked out of the u.s. team. but they would respond by going to some of their younger players. let's show you how the u.s. team scored in extra time to give it a shot.

they get right back in it. he's 19 years old. julian green. he played for bayern munich. he made it 2-1, but it was not enough because the belgium team was too strong. the u.s. had other scoring chances but just couldn't get it in the goal, and they lose 2-1 is the final. belgium moves on to take on argentina in the quarterfinal round of the world cup. we can show you that right now to show you how it played out. a lot of people were anticipating that argentina-u.s. match up, but it was belgium that will move on. the u.s. team played hard. here are a couple of stats to show you how you can't play soccer. they got outshot 29-17. 19 corner kicks to 4, and saves, tim howard made 16, which is incredible. but that's the problem. that's the most saved by a world
