we'll go live to jerusalem in a moment. first a look at how we got to this point. >> reporter: this is the widely circulated video that israeli police say does not represent event accurately. it depicts two israeli police officers beating a huffed figure showing no resistance. the father of tariq says it's his son. the incident occurred on thursday, after a demonstration protesting against the death of tariq's cousin. it's found that he was burnt to death by israeli settlers. tariq's aunt says police did not take him to hospital for five ours, and only after the intersession of the u.s. the family sussed a broken knows and jaw. israeli authorities say they have begun an investigation.

parents hope that a u.s. citizenship may make a difference. >> we are american, and i feel like we have more freedom... >> more protection. >>..and more applicatiprotectio. >> what about his other cousin. >> that was brutally beaten, that didn't have the opportunities we had. tariq was one of 11, many children, detained by israeli forces at the same time. hundreds have been rounded up since the disappearance and deaths of three young israeli settlers in the west bank. >> nick schifrin joins us from jerusalem. good morning to you. we understand that you spoke with the boy's mother. what did she tell you. >> there was a scene in court where the parents were surrounded by media as their son

came out. we talked to them. they were spat. they blooest that their son did nothing wrong. we were kind of in the wrong place at the wrong time. while the tear gas wafted through the neighbourhood in response to the palestinian protesting, that's when he put a handkerchief on the mouth and it lead to the undercover police to arrest and beat him. the mother is upset that she has been sentenced to house imprisonment for the next fine days, and this is the mother speaking after that. >> why are you putting him under house arrest. makes no sense? >> i know american law. this doesn't happen in america. so the point from her and his father is well, they simply

are not getting the justice that they think they deserve right now for the next 10 days. they'll be in-house in prison and. >> let's go back to the release in a moment. tell us about the diplomatic pressure involved in getting him out of gaol. >> i think the family will say without u.s. help they would never have seen their son. even though they are upset about 10 days house arrest, they believe a member from the u.s. consule ace in the room was doing the sentence, helping to push the israeli judge to let the mother hug tariq in the room. ultimately despite the u.s. pressure, it was public last night. that statement read out, and the presence of a u.s. consular official. despite that israel handing down

a sentence, they haven't charged him with anything. they said they could, an investigation. >> speaking of diplomacy they are calling for calm. with more rocket fire, does it seem possible at this point. >> this is a separate story down south near the gaza border, critical time between gaza and israel. dozens of rockets are still being fired. the israeli are responding after rockets are fired, with 40 air strikes and strikes from the sea inside gaza. binyamin netanyahu, despite the rockets, makes it clear he does not want an escalation. that's what he is using. there are rockets flying towards

besh eeba. it's the capital. and there comes a point where binyamin netanyahu will feel pressure from his own government to respond forcefully. he's trying not to escalate in gaza as everything is going along in jerusalem and northern israel. it's clear that he is patient. frankly he's not going be very long and ultimately if the rockets keep coming he'll have to respond. >> thank you for being with us this morning. >> now to iraq where the leader known as i.s.i.l. is making his first public appearance. the video shows a man believed to be abu bakr al-baghdadi delivering a sermon, wearing a black robe, he is calls on muslims to take action. >> translation: god ordered us to fight his enemies and carry out jihad. >> al jazeera has not been able

it supports bridges, roadways, and transit systems. that trust fund will go bankrupt. congress has a major challenge before it. >> that federal highway trust fund sends $35 billion to all 50 states, for most it's the primary source of funding. but it is not collecting enough revenue and could be drained to zero by august 1st. lindsay says she deals with post-traumatic stress disorder and survivors' guilt, but the biggest loss of all was to her faith. >> a i can see the cracks and all the things wrong with the infrastructure and building and all different ways that we don't care for stuff like that. i don't trust that things will be safe.

>> reporter: these pictures show taxis in protest. the network is banned. we cannot independently verify the pictures. there were reports of skirmishes as temperatures ran high. cuts are needed. subsidies were costing a quarter of the budget. the government is not against the poor people. the government is working to fix things, looking at the conditions that the hospitals are in. natural gas prices were increased. electricity prices have gone up. with power cuts egyptians are paying more for less energy. before becoming president, abdul fatah al-sisi promised subsidies would be removed. that burden would not be on the poor. >> translation: we are in a fearful situation in regard to the subsidies. we won't be able to pressure the poor people. we'll revise the subsidies

>> the japanese way of life has a particular mind-set on sound and detail and space and light and energy. if you knew nothing about the laws, you would assume that it's normal. >> reporter: the law in question was quast in 1948 when dance clubs were cast as centers of interpret attitude at best, prostitution and criminality at worst. a venue licence requires strict conditions, requiring dancing after midnight or at the latest 1am. tokyo's nightclubs are famous the world over. they are not allowed to call it a club. what these people are doing is illegal. for many years the law was regarded as a relic and ignored. a murder at a club led to its

use in a crackdown on venues across the country. for months this man has been working with politicians to redraft the law. he's become concerned that it's the police calling the shots in that process, and an easing of the rules could see clubs restricted to designated areas. >> translation: so far, although it's been an illegal grey zone and with the risks entailed, everyone was equal in that sense. if the grey zone is subdivided into black and white. i think the diversity will be lost. >> if agaha is one of the biggest clubs, this is one of the smallest, attracting a cloud serious about the movement. police and politicians fail to comprehend. the owner says it's part of a broader japanese culture too.

the dance party, an important ceremony. i cleared the law regulating, we are running - we want to hair with the world our ceremony. to that end it streams its music to an online audience every night. it will call this place a studio, not a club. it's therefore not the slightest bit illegal. you may think the law is unique to japan. there's a similar one here in new york city. a 1926 law says that three or more people can't dance unless a bar or restaurant has a cabaret licence, even if music or liquor is allowed. a 4th of july celebration turns tragic in miami. two people died in a boat crash and another two in hospital. investigators are looking into

what happened. >> florida officials are working with the federal government on a multi million project to restore the everglades. some say the government is moving too slow, making the situation north. >> reporter: the florida everglades is bigger than the state of new jersey. after development it's half what it is. >> every day we wait the eco system declines. >> it's more than a swamp. it touches the lives of 8 million flor ied cans, is the main -- floridians, is the main source of water. development trained the everglades. if no effort it made to get water into it, with more flooding and shortages, and the everglades will deteriorate. that's why the federal government and the state are in the middle of an 8 million promote, called the largest eco system plan in the world.

the goal is to restore the water flow, and in doing so preserve what is left of the everglades. the problem environmentalists say is a lack of progress. the restoration began in 2000. the pump station is one of two projects finished. in may, for the first time in seven years congress approved additional projects but has to approve the funding. the state of florida is not waiting. it built a pump station in the middle of the neighbourhood. >> living on the canal i was concerned with what would happen. water was pumped from the canal to the bay. it's supposed to spread water into the coastal wetland and is intended to improve companies for every living organism. >> it's an historical flow of water from the everyglade. environmentalists warned confres to pick up the pace of the

approval progress. as we meet new changes such as climate change, salt water intrusion, it makes it important to do the projects as early as approximately. >> reporter: and the sooner the everglades plan is completed the sooner the state can reap the monetary rewards. once finished it will have an impact of 43 billion, and could add 442,000 jobs over 50 years. the project is estimated to cost $13.5 million.

of millions of women, first, a look at where the rain will fall with meteorologist eboni deon. >> not only are we expecting rain, but across the upper mid west a few storms has become stronger. they continue to push across minnesota, minneapolis hit with the rain. anywhere from the st. louis to chicago, that's where we are expecting the storms. for now it looks like the north-east is dry. but moisture will be on the increase. rain chances going up for the start of the work week. a major change that could impact the health check-ups of millions of women. after reviewing 50 past studies, the american college of physicians recommend healthy women don't need a pelvic examine, calling it unnecessary. it's a suggestion stirring up

controversy for decades the pelvic exam has been an annual routine when gynecologists inspect the ser vix. new guidelines from the men college of physicians suggest doctors skip the practice saying the pelvic exam does not discover enough disease or cancer to balance out the false alarms or pain or embarrassment that comes with it. >> they looked at a large number of studies and find the majority of women don't have improved health. most problems found on pelvic examples tend to be benign, some doctors argue it could help to manage noncancer conditions. >> there are cases where we detect a pelvic mass and exam in a small number of patients it could be important. it could be a sign of a risk of cancer. >> it does not mean healthy women can skip the stirrups.

they need a pap smear testing for cancer and diseases. although that practice has undergone guideline changes recently with a recommendation that healthy women need the test once every three years. >> if people don't feed to come in with a pap or don't ge gyn exams less women will come in to the doctors. we talk to a rehabilitation during now to discuss the change. what is the point of a pelvic examine. what are doctors looking for? >> you are looking to catch cancer or other disease. you may try to feel for the uterus or ovaries and see if you see any abnormal. >> it's different from a pap smear. >> it's looking for cancer. in this case it's looking for ute rin cancer.

the problem is that it's not a good test, especially in healthy women. it's a controversy. >> you need a pap smear but not the pelvic exam. >> the recommendation could be every year, every three years depending on the class that you fall into. it steers a lot of women away. there's controversy, some feel it's uncomfortable. some feel it's embarrassing that they have to undress and do this. >> it's not that difficult to do a pelvic examine. if it's not di, you may not want to updress. >> speaking of discomfort and pain, it's about anxiety. it's making women anxious, but what are they anxious about. >> there could be different things. if you undress in front of a stranger dash there's a lot of things to consider.

traditionally most doctors are male. most women, if we talk a couple of hundred years ago, most women, it wouldn't be socially acceptable. in the past a lot of things were missed. the pendulum has swung and tests are getting done. they may have a stigma that they don't want to address in front of a stranger. in health care settings, there's a lot of things. if there's a 10 minute visit, it's disconcerting. >> some say it's painful. it's something that may keep them from seeing a doctor. people may have controversy about mammograms. in this situation, the thing is there isn't that much evidence, so with those cases, there's a lot of data out there. here we don't have much information about endomeetrial

cancer and ovarian cancer and whether these exams prevent that. >> in the absence of that data, will it prevent fewer women catching cancers? >> that's the controversy. without evidence, it's hard to say. for the american college of physicians, they say without evidence we shouldn't do the exams. others say we should, unless there's a good reason to stop. >> thank you so much for joining us. >> a new york city landmark set to be dell mollished is the site of a work of art. the domino sugar factory used to be the largest in the world. in it a spin. made of sugar flavour ouring, carol walker talks about the project.

conditions? >> yes, so the arrests firstly for mohammed abukhdair, and his abduction and burning to death really sparked some of the worst tenses and fighting between palestinians and israelis that we have seen, and part of the tension was the fact that the palestinian family blamed jewish extremists, radical settlers. israeli police have been refusing to confirm that but in the last few minutes an israeli official telling local media that there has been arrests and those are, indeed, jewish extremists. you do think that possibly this could pacify some of the palestinian anger, and that is what israel is hoping and all of the anger on the streets will reduce with israel proving that it's willing to go and arrest jewish extremists. israeli government worried that some of the other extremists will be mad that the israeli

government arrested some of the people. a dramatic break in the case that people here, officials and people on the streets helped to calm some of the tension. you spoke to the boys' mother af court. what did she is say? >> yes, so this is the cousin of mohammed abukhdair, tariq, born in the united states. his mother was born in the united states. and the reason he has arrested is that during that funeral for his cousin mohammed abukhdair, there were lots of protests and fighting. the israelis say that the cousin tried to stab israeli officers. that is something his parents deny. he has not been charged with anything. he got to court. out of that court he's been released on bail, he's not allowed to go to the community. it has come up in flames. he's not allowed to leave the house where he's staying, but he's out of custody. the family is planning on

leaving in 10 days and are happy. they told me their son released and they are furious that he's been released on a large bail, $1,000, which is not easy for them. and the fact that he has not been charged and he was beaten. there's video out there spreading like wildfire, and that has inflamed some of this tension that existed because of the first step. now, again, another step. israel hoping it eases the tension. there's a lot of anger and frustration out there. throughout this country. al jazeera's nick schifrin live from jerusalem. thank you for being was. we'll be following the developments and for up to the minute information, 24 slab 7. now to iraq where the leader of the islamic state group known as i.s.i.l. is known as the

days ago. we saw huge protests and tensions because of the death. israeli police confirming that jewish extremists have been arrested in connection with his death. during the funerals. the cows scrin was arrested, adding to the tension, because there was a lot of video out spread around social media of tariq beaten by israeli police. it is now out on bail. let's look at this report. >> reporter: the beating is brutal and difficult to watch. but it appears to be undercover israeli officers striking him. his hands are tied behind his back, he is unconscious, but still they kick him one last time. the family says the teenagers is this boy. israel accuses him of trying to stab police officers. his father accuses israel of attempted murder. >> if anyone see the video, they

clashed in the middle of jerusalem. tariq's beating agreed the -- increased the hostility. the question is whether the hostility will decrease after these arrests, after the public declaration that jewish extremists were behind mohammed abukhdair's murder. there's a lot of tension now. it's not clear whether the arrests are enough to aswuj some of the head ret going on -- hate read going on not only in jerusalem. but spreading. >> thank you for being with us nick schifrin. >> i'll keep doing everything i can do to make our immigration system smarter and more efficient so hard-working men and women like all of you have the opportunity to join the american family and serve our great nation, so we can be stronger and more prosperous and whole toot. >> that was president obama speaking at a naturalisation ceremony at the white house on

the 4th of july, promising executive acks on immigration if congress fails to act. coming as the governor promises to tour a border facility. governor perry saying the governor should get a first-hand look. the white house says there's no plans to tour the border. that's first up in the weekend politics section. thank you so much for being with us gentlemen. domenic, what is wrong with touring a border facility? >> well, i think the president - there's a possibility that he may, at the end of the day, possibly go. if i had to answer now, i would say no. the president is aware of the situation. the president knows first hand a crisis of immigration and is dealing with it every day, with the children making the unfortunate trips to america for a better life. the president understands the

situation very well. >> do you agree with rick perry that these not showing of graffa tas of the issue. >> everyone is missing a key point. we do not have secure borders. we have to secure them right away. everything changed offer 9/11. it has become part of national security. as long as there's a free flow of people. every person you deal with, we have two or three coming in. we need to secure the borders, as vast areas of the border is insecure. we have to deal with the issue. how can we deal with it if we want a continuous flow. you have to secure the borders. once you are able to do that, you can do deal with the people here illegally. to do that, congress would have

to do something about the borders. >> let's put partisan politics aside. what is he to do. he's dealing with a congress. it's influenced by the tea party crowd pulling congress to the right. there's essentially nothing coming out. this president does not have the luxury of sitting around doing nothing. rob, smart move. i have to disagree with what domenic said. okay. i think the president is in control of the senate. okay. he could make a reasonable deal to make things happen. >> what is reasonable. >> i don't know. i'm not sitting in the house. it's horse trading going back and furth. you can go back and forth and make a deal. for some reason the president

doesn't seem to want to do that. it's not the president, it's congress and speaker boehner pulled by the members of the rite that will not let the speaker cut a deal. we saw president linden and we didn't get along well with. they were able to cut deals. >> i think it's the white house. congress was elected. just like the president was elected. they represent constituentses. the president should understand that he has to deal with them if he wants to get through. he doesn't seem to want to do that. >> on the top of everyone's agenda, gridlock seems to be the economy. >> 288 workers brought the rate

down to 6.1%. the lowest level in six years. let's listen to what the president had to say on thursday. >> given where we started in 2008, we have made enormous strides thanks to the hard work of the american people, and american businesses that have been out there competing getting smarter and effective. it's making a difference across the country. >> can the white house take a victory lap. >> they can. >> is the question is this great news. and i have to say the answer is no. this white house is at the point of washington is so polarized. gridlocked that any good news, as you pointed out, we saw the rate go down as low that it's almost not connecting with the people. >> what do you think, robert? >> it's a false number and a

false rate. you see the bureau of labour statistics came out. 92,120,000 americans are not in the workforce. the highest level in 36 years. since jimmy carter was president. these are people that have not looked for work in at least four weeks. they are the individuals who have tried and tried to have jobs and have given up. they can't find it. that's almost a third of this nation, 92 million not in the workforce, and you are cutting out children and the elderly. >> is that a problem to the white house, congress... >> i think it's a problem for all americans. that's what it comes down to. the white house again, you are sitting with an administration who the vast majority of people

come from an intellectual educational background, they are theorists, haven't had the practical experience in creating jobs, and that is what we need. we need a white house that understands how to create jobs. >> let's talk about who might best create the jobs in 2016. this is a story that will not go away. here it is again. hillary clinton, forced to defend accepting almost 2 million in speaking fees at the nation's university. in terms of optics, is that bad politics given how expensive college is in america now. >> in politics perception often is reality. it must be a slow season for the journalists, because this story is much ado about nothing. it's money that is not paid. the speeches for mrs. clinton were tuition money - it's money

that is privately raised. >> if this was mitt romney, would we say the same things? >> that's a great question. and the answer is perhaps it would be a problem for mitt romney. but the only point i'm trying to make is this is money she's donating to the foundation, money that will go to good causes and funny raised by foundations for privately - it's not tuition money. the money that clinton is paid. >> do you think it's a problem? >> i do. especially if you are running for president. >> she can't be rich and run for madam president. what's wrong with being rich and running for president. >> when it comes from corporate funds, basically it's a pay off for access. i truly believe that... >> i thought it went to the foundation. >> great. >> i would hope she pays tax on it to help the economy and help the government.

you know, you are running for president. and you're just taking the money, putting it in your foundation win, in the end will benefit you. don't think the foundation doesn't reach out and help people in different areas of the country where it might be beneficial. >> let's talk about mississippi, all right. senate chris mcdam yells is challenging the result of the election ausing cochrane of race baiting, and offering money if anyone can provide a link to voter fraud. is this a politically bad move or sour grapes. >> i think it's sour grapes. >> we agree. i didn't mean to cut you off. it's absolutely sour grapes. >> you see this a lot in politics when people are not from the political system. right.. >> the one thing that runs true,

in every political race, someone has to lose. >> domenic carter and rob ryan, gentlemen, thank you for being with me so early on a sunday morning. >> all right. taking on the adduction of crack cocaine. is it an addiction or is it a matter of choice? an interesting take coming up next in the weekend conversation. >> it's supposed to be a fun toy for kids. it's not supposed to take flight.

>> only on al jazeera america. >> oh my! some country music stars are helping people with big problems. coming up next, right now, a children's inflatable slide takes flight into the air, and it happened when a wind storm sweeps through a carnival. no one was on or near the slide,

thankfully two were injured by flying debris. this is the third time an inflatable slide has gone airborne. >> some country music stars are helping people with developmental disabilities tap into their creative potential. they are helping researchers take and study a rare disorder. >> i love what you say about the eye colour. they are bright. >> reporter: it looks like a song-writing session, with the country trio working on a new tup. as you see and hear, this is something special. >> this music camp sponsored by the academy of country music is for young adults, a genetic disorder affecting 30,000 in the u.s. williams syndrome causes cardiovascular learning disabilities. those with the disorder have strong verbal skills and an affinity for music.

others are interested in music and the idea that the acm is giving them a real opportunity to provide music. >> reporter: after the writing session the campers came to the studio to perform the seconding. that's where the magic happened. [ ♪ music ] . >> they have an amazing innate sense of music. which is an amazing thing about williams syndrome. there's negatives and positives about them. it blows my mind. participants are from all over the countries. as they write and report researchers study how the brain responds to music the the song recorded is called "bright eyes." >> in our eyes we have star bursts and when the light shins in, it shines to everyone else. i guess it means that we have bright eyes and are here to

shine it for other people in the world. >> reporter: these people get a lot from their participation. >> they may be the biggest group of musicians talented in nashville. they have bigger hearts and are so bright. that's what it will take. >> these kids do it for the heck of it. they love it. i learn from them. >> after a week of writing and recording and rubbing elbow, it comes down to this. >> the campers perform on the stage. country musicians joined them on stage. >> a change in my world. the crowd gave the artists an honour. a stand vasion.

university, thank you for being with us. i understand that you are quoted saying drugs are not the problem what is? >> it depends on what you mean when you say the problem. typically that drugs are responsible for crime, unemployment, all the horrible things that happen in our society, drugs are a scapegoat. other things are a problem. unemployment, lack of skills, racial discrimination, why a raping of other things are the problems, but drugs allow us not to deal with the complicated problems. >> and they are individual problems compounded by societal problems or. >> when we say individual's problems, they are mainly societal. they are mainly a societal problem. when we think about the people that have problems, it's typically groups of people who we don't like. it's expressed as individual, but it's mainly a societal problem. >> it's interesting.

i want to take you to an interview we had on the show yesterday. a former washington post reporter adicked to crack cocaine. the addiction never goes away. it's growing every day. i think of it as a monster getting stronger with each passing day. if i were to use again i wouldn't pick up where i left off. it would be in a far worse place. >> he was talking about the fear of relapsing, saying the monster grose more and more every day. can the monster escape? >> of course. i want to say congratulations for the brother for writing a book and having a drug. i understand he had a larger problem with alcohol. not only that, he was also working while he was doing crack co-cape. it's hike the typical crack cocaine user is employed and

responsible. that's the typical user. >> as opposed to what. >> as opposed to the monster. he created the human characteristics. >> are you saying people addicted to alcohol don't have jobs. >> no, no, no, the point is na most people who use crack cocaine are not addicted. when he described the monster, as if crack cocaine has human characteristics, that's not true. there are other reasons people have problems. i don't know what they are in his case. he was vilifying the drug. when you do that, that's not the real issue, then you vilify the drug users. you perpetuate the mifths, the stories that are not true. let's think about this. he pointed out if he used crack cocaine now he would be back at the same place. >> he said he would be worse.

>> one of the things that happened over the past 20 years is he matured like all of us. we do stupid things when we are younger that we don't do when we are older. he was acting as if crack cocaine disrupts the normal developmental process. it's not true. my concern is we turn the drug into something that it's not. >> allowing it to have a choekhold over the a -- chokehold over the adult psyche. >> i don't want to suggest he go back out and use it. i want the listeners to understand what he says about crack cocaine, there's no evidence to support it besides its anecdotal story. that's what i want people to understand. >> speaking of your research and the book. let's talk about the part where you say addicts given other options will rationalize and choose a different outcome. what do you mean?

>> we have done a number of experiments where you provide drug addicts, br you provide a -- where you provide a small amount of money, cash. what you find is they'll take the drug on half of the occasions. when you increase it to $20, they almost never take the drug. these are crack cocaine addicts, methamphetamine, people we said could not respond to anything else but the drug. it shows that drug addiction is just like any other behaviour. and people who are addicted to drugs know and can make rational decisions. so very briefly, before we go, should the government launch another just say no campaign. what should to do - that's not a good idea? >> that's one of the worst ideas the government has done. >> really? >> certainly it is. when you say just say no. what does that mean? there are people who said yes.

what do you say to those people that have already said yes. that's not education. it's proppa gander, hysteria, what you don't want your kids to engage in. you want them to think. >> you made us think. associate professor and author of "high price." let's get a check of your sunday forecast with meteorologist eboni deon. >> it will be another wet day across parts of the upper m midwest and the south-wester, a monsoonal moisture moving through. heavy rainfall around the tuscon area. storms around minnesota, moving into to wisconsin, and batches of heavy year rain fall across the western portion of the state. st. louis, you are in line to get the rain and strong to severe storms, watching that to chicago, and as far north as green bay. the north-east is fantastic.

a beautiful day shaping up here. a few clouds mixing in, high pressure in charge and so as a slow-moving cold front moves to the east, the rain going up, heading into the day tuesday and wednesday. the next couple of days we will feel the humidity, but the rain will hold off until midweek. we are watching an area of low pressure off the coast of the carolinas and georgia, providing us with heavy rainfall. >> thank you so much. this is a fireworks unlike anything you have seen, certainly anything i have seen. this was captured by a drone nighing over west beach california, and got right into the middle of the celebrations. check out the view. it's been posted on youtube and viewed more than 4 million time. that's it for us near in new york. the late is from israel and gaza

ahead at the top of the hour. thanks so much, i'm morgan radford.
