>> good to have you with us. this is the aljazeera news hour. these are some of the stories we're covering in detail in the next 60 minutes. continuing air strikes on gaza, 80 palestinians killed since the start of the offensive. >> iraq's military gets ready to attack mosul as the kurdish president hits back at the prime minister's claims that soon any fighters are in the kurdish

region. >> the former mayor of new orleans sentenced to 10 years in jail for corruption. >> i'll ever all the latest from the world cup in brazil. argentina will face germany in the final on sunday after a penalty shootout against the netherlands. i'll have all the action and reaction later in the program. >> no sign of any let up in the air strikes by israel on the gaza strip. at least 84 people have been killed. we understand during the offensive so far, hundreds more have been hurt. during the last three days, almost 600 sites have been hit by israel jets, most in gaza city. israeli air strikes killed seven at a coffee shop on the beach and a 2-year-old girl has been killed. 350 rockets have been launched

from gaza into israel, some going as far as tel aviv. israel's defense system has intercepted most of them. we report now from jerusalem. >> family members huddle and cry around the body of a 9-year-old palestinian girl killed during an israeli air strike. she was rushed to hospital earlier for her injuries but died soon after. her father carried her through the streets of gaza during the small but subdued funeral. >> i would like to send a message to the coward enemy, what wrong did this in cent child commit for you to deliberately target her? the in sense is evident on her face. this isn't the first child targeted by the coward enemy and is undoubtedly not the last child, either. >> palestinians say another israeli air strike targeted at

least two houses in a densely populated area while they were asleep. bodies were pulled out of the rubble from several homes here and at least 16 people were wounded in this attack alone. the israeli army has struck hamas targets, striking at rocket launching sites, tunnels as well as the homes of its leaders. >> it is a terrible tragedy if any innocent people are killed, but the responsible power, the person, the organization, but they are putting the rockets in civilian areas. >> this is taking place outside the border with gaza for a possible ground invasion. palestinian fighters continue to fire rockets into israel.

rocket sirens are regularly heard in israel's southern cities close to the border with gaza. for the last few days, rockets targeted israel's commercial capital, tel aviv. >> many rockets have been intercepted by the iron dome defense system of israel and none have killed or injured anyone, but israel insists it will continue to attack hamas until no more rockets are fired at israeli territory. >> within the last few hours, in gaza, the israeli military has come up with an apology of sorts. what's that about? >> it seems to do with an incident two days ago in the south, where a drone fired a warning shot at a house. this is a house, sort of a complex housing five families. many of them left, but some went to the roof thinking that would

stop them from firing sort of a protection of a human shield kind of way, but they did fire. in that incident, a family of eight was killed, including six children. now reports were saying it was also perhaps the home of a hamas activist, however there was outrage, because six children died in one incident, so the israeli army now seemingly saying it was a tragic mistake, but that's not the only incident. we have seen many others here where civilians have been affected in the crossfire of this campaign that israel is waging against the factions here. >> talking to you in the same position on that roof, 24 hours ago, there were explosions all around you, mostly behind. we can see the smoke, hear the booms. has it quieted down at all? >> while i've waited to speak to you, there was one air strike just in the back. that's gone. we haven't been in this area for the day, we came from the south. there were quite a few booms

going on there. we were at the egyptian border crossing, because a few ambulances were carrying palestinians injured in the bombing across to egypt. it's an unusual event, because that border crossing is often kept closed. we saw three injured crossing, a mother and a son injured with shrapnel when israelis bombarded a house next to them. what was interesting is that also egyptians were allowed to leave, but once people got wind of the news that the border was open, many gathered. as we were leaving, there was a crowd of 150 people, many palestinians who hold foreign passport, because that is one of the prerequisites of cross that go border and they weren't allowed to leaf. it does put it into context, because those who don't hold foreign passports, or a visa can't get out of gaza, which is one of the issues and complaints, and that's why this conflict, what it comes down to,

is the occupation, that they're not in charge of -- we're just hearing something, but i don't see anything -- not in charge of their lives. >> it's not just the people going up, it's what is needed to be brought in, according to doctors near where you are. >> that's right, we visited the hospital yesterday, the biggest in gaza and they were packed. we saw ambulances coming in with people injured from the air strikes and they are saying that they're running out of materials. they can't carry out major surgeries, because there is this siege on gaza, many materials aren't allowed in. they're facing a big challenge, which is why the palestinian president, part of why the palestinian president called the egyptian presidential sisi and said please help us. it is a dire situation, certainly when it comes to medical care. they just don't have sufficient materials to be able to handle the amount of people coming in.

now that's another boom, but i can't actually see where that is. it's somewhere coming from there. that just goes to show that this is a very active campaign. >> thank you for now. the israeli military moving more troops near to the border with gaza. let us hear frow mom nick schiffron in the south of israel. >> here in southern israel with gaza in the background, we see israel escalations for a possible invasion, calling up 20,000 reservists toward the border. up until nap they had called 1500 here and could call up to 40,000. for that number, and it is new one in the last couple hours. at the same time, prime minister benjamin netanyahu calls his cabinet and talked to the israeli parliament this morning. he has told them that no

ceasefire is on the table. clearly, all signs are that israel is ramping up and planning some kind of escalation here on the gaza border. we've seen a huge barrage of rockets from gaza in the last couple hours. at least 20 were fired almost at the same time, at least six of those intercepted by the iron dome. definitely a sense that things are escalating on both sides. >> there's going to be a meeting discussing what is happening between israel and hamas. >> the u.n. security council is going to meet. there have been calls certainly from the palestinian ambassador at the united nations, meeting for days.

finally, the presidency have convened that meeting which will take place in an hour's time from now. they're going to get a briefing from the man at the top of the u.n., ban ki-moon involved in diplomacy with leaders in the region. he will brief them on the latest. he, i'm sure, will again as he has done several times already, call for a straight from both sides and a peaceful solution to the situation on the ground. will we get any action from the u.n. security council? i think it's probably very unlikely. possible we'll get some sort of carefully worded statement, but i think very unlikely there will be more than anything than that from the u.n., possibly reminding viewers that we've seen conflicts rewarding gaza before back in 2008, 2009 and 2012. neither of those were sold by the united nations and the u.n.

route. the conflict in 2009 was unilaterally an israeli ceasefire, just hours before the new u.s. president barack obama came into power. in 2012, it was the egyptians who were the key players in the mediation, but of course things have changed since then, because the man doing the mediation was penalty morsi, a muslim brotherhood president who had leverage with hamas. he's no longer there. >> i go back to 1948, james, let alone that 2008 and you've got resolutions from the united states that have been ignored time and time again by israel. you've also seen the united states lend support sometimes just tacitly to what israel is doing in that region. will web looking for an indication from the adjustment, where it taints on what's happening? >> we will be looking for that. what's not clear yet and this is always the case when you have these meetings at the u.n. is who exactly we are going to see speaking in public, we know that

we'll hear from ban ki-moon and from the israeli ambassador and palestinian ambassador in open session. not clear whether the other members of the security council will speak in open session or whether we'll hear from them after the open session has ended. >> we'll be with you in about 50 minutes, i'm sure. thank you very much for that, james bays. >> iraq stepped up air strikes in preparation many believe for a ground offensive. strikes killed seven, injured at more at least. rebels fight weight islamic state of iraq and the levant captured the it a month ago. there is no plan on how to hold it. >> the iraqi government lost

moss as you will, but its new rulers don't agree who should control this province. many sunni groups pushed the iraqi army out in early june, among them, the self declared islamic state. they don't have the same vision of iraq's future. it seems the group previously known as the islamic state of iraq and the lee haven't started a campaign to get rid of any dissent too its rule. >> >> they are imposing their extremist views on people, telling tribes to lay down their arms. we won't accept this. >> this former general prefers to remain anonymous, his cousin was among those arrested. mosul was where a man said to be

abu bakr al-baghdadi chose to make his first public appearance. the video emerged after he declared his own caliphate and demanded muslims pledge allegiance to him. >> many haven't heeded has call. some believe that is why the self declared islamic state group have been arresting tribal elders, a scare tactic to prevent any opposition to its rule. >> the city is off limits to international journalists and people fearful to speak their minds. this former general believes that the self declared islamic state won't prevail over what he calls the true owners of the land. >> they may be in control. they have taken over other courts but know that without the tribal elders, they wouldn't have been able to enter mosul. we got rid of the iraqi army. we won't allow four you hundred

to 500 masked men to rule us. >> defiant words echoed by other sunni figures who welcome the help as long as he topple the government and not for a piece of iraq. aljazeera. >> that is the view from the north of the country. now to the capitol, baghdad. >> the air strikes continue for days now, very useful in order to weaken targets within the city and on the outskirts in preparation for any ground force that might go in. we haven't seen any evidence of a ground force being prepared to go into mosul or other territories the sunni rebels hold. there is a question of what kind of hardware is being used in these air strikes. the iraqis have two options, one is the plane equipped with hell fire missiles. that's what they've used

previously. also now, they are using the s.u.25. these are planes supplied to them by russia and iran. they have heavier weaponries. that's another option for them. speaking to sources in mosul, we've heard that the iraqis are using drones. when you think of drones, armed drones, you normally think of the americans, there are american drones flying over baghdad here for defensive purposes for american assets within the country. it's likely that if there are drones flying over mosul and being used, they are either iranian or very low grade iraqi ones. no one is admitting to the use of those drones, but people have told us they have seen drones flying over the city. >> the president of iraq's kurdish government has hit back at the countries prime minister al-malakis accusation that a kurdish city is becoming what he

calls a terrorist base. a furious occurred issue leader released this statement which has since been removed from his website. al-malaki has become history at herriccal and lost his balance and put the blame on others. you must apologize to the iraqi people and step down. you've destroyed the country and someone who has destroyed the country cannot save it. >> it's not only a war of words between the north and the central government in baghdad. the regional government here, the kurdish regional government has taken two significant decisions, number one, suspended its participation in the government. all those ministers in the government who are kurdish have suspended participation in the cabinet meetings. all the oil production revenue,

the share to go to baghdad would be withheld, that those revenues coming from the oil production, and there are several oil rich cities in the kurdish region, that the revenue coming from that would not be going to baghdad. on the other hand, al-malaki's government made their own decisions, or towards the kurdish region all government, preventing commercial planes from landing in the two main airports here, a sign that there's going to be commercial economic besiegement in this continued conflict. the country remains bitterly divided, the relationship between the kurdish regional government and ball dodd probably the worst it's ever been. >> we'll look at what india is doing about its finances and asking whether big industry's got the help it wants to taking

on china. >> their team has won within pandemonium on the streets asarr they celebrate. >> thousands of people are known to have fled fighting in yemen. 200 people have been killed since rebels overran the city on tuesday, 50 kilometers from the capitol. we have more. >> a day following weeks of fierce fighting, the army continues to shell rebel positions, but the shia fighters hold out. these civilians were caught in the crossfire. many have left for safer

neighboring areas or to the capitol. the leader said the capture was to deny sunni radicals and al-qaeda fighters territory in the north. >> we have no problem with the state or the system, our prop is with the three groups, al-qaeda and army officers affiliated with them. their aim is to expand and get more political influence. >> they say it's time for reconciliation, but on the ground, tension continues to build. sunni tribes and clerics asked their followers to join the fight against those accused of colluding to with iran to create a shia state in yemen.

>> killed in 2004, the movement survived despite years of wars with the government. they are now led by his brother who controls most of the north and thousands of supporters mainly in the north and capitol. >> the u.s. and israel are believed a threat to muslims. in their gatherings, they always chant death to america, death to israel. >> in my an mar, five journalists are jailed, found guilty of violating national security laws. >> a military offensive by the pakistan army has forced hundreds of thousands of people out of their homes. many are still waiting for any kind of help, help which the

government had said it would deliver. we report on how people are managing as the aid just starts to arrive. >> it's the peek of a summer afternoon and the lines seem endless as people wait for hours in the heat and sometimes even overnight to receive handouts of much-needed supplies. this is some of the first help people will get since they left their homes, almost three weeks ago because of the pakistani offensive against the taliban. too tired to stand up, some people revert while they try to cool themselves with whatever is available. this man has been here since 5:30 in the morning and taken fewer than 100 steps forward in the last eight hours. >> me and my family walked all the way.

we lost our livestock when they panicked and ran away because of explosions. we have nothing now. >> he's lucky to have come this far. this gate is taking him closer to the end of his ordeal. for others at the tail end of the long line, the agony of the wait continues. >> we request the authorities to increase the points. we appreciate all the help, but it should not be at the expense of our dignity. >> 800,000 people are now asking for help from the government. however, there are only three distribution centers. if the government is serious about winning hearts and minds, they will have to do something about that. >> the pakistani government describes these people who left their homes, life savings as heroes and guests. many of the people who sacrificed so much now point out

that they're treated like cattle or just a bunch of beggars. aljazeera, pakistan. >> these two men, both of them the only presidential candidates in indonesia have been calling for restraint ahead of the announcement of official election results, even though the voting was yesterday, the official result not announced for two weeks where both candidates already say they are the winner. that's based only on preliminary results. we have the latest out of jakarta. >> he is convinced he's the newly elected president of indonesia. when the official result is announced, he's sure that his opponent former general will concede the defeat graciously. >> i'm sure he'll accept it. he's a states man and patriot.

the people have spoken and shown what they want. our people are happy to be involved in politics. >> he would be happier if his opponent did the conceding. they anticipate different results. he also declared victory. after meeting the president, all victory cell braces were toned down. >> the president has asked us to prevent any conflict between the two camps and this is what my coalition has always aimed for. >> a nation in waiting. people want to know who they can call their next president. for many, it's clear, but they will still to have wait two more weeks before they know for sure. >> many were confused when both camps celebrated on wednesday. >> i really thought he had won. i was so happy. we were already gathering our friends, but then supporters

came. i didn't want trouble, so i left. >> despite fears, election observers optimistic the elections will be judged fair. >> there's a margin of 4% between the win or even 5%. fifers of the vote will be in the tens of millions. that's a lot of money, a lot of commissioners to bribe. >> the election results are scheduled to be announced july 22. until then, supporters in both camps are asked to be patient. aljazeera, jakarta. >> we're going across to germany in just a moment as soon as we've established contact because of this breaking news story there. a c.i.a. official based in berlin has been asked to get out of germany, asked perhaps in

response to two reported cases of suspected u.s. spying in germany. the german chancellor angela merkel was called on spying on allies as a waste of energy. you will remember that there was an awful lot of fuss about whether the americans and the national security agency were actually listening into the phones of a number of european leaders. among them, angela merkel. we will go to our correspondent nick spicier to find out if they are together or separate. it's likely to cause a bit of a fuss. we will go to him in just a moment. the news we have for you now, take a look at these pictures, a landslide in japan. it killed a 12-year-old boy, the river bursting its banks sending mud and rocks into the farming town. the typhoon is blamed for the deaths of two others and dozens of injuries elsewhere in japan

and that is where we're going now to learn about weather conditions and what this typhoon has already done and could do. >> the good news is the winds are dropping out quite smartly. you can see how it's just starting to fall apart. this is so the south of tokyo. that's what remains of the system. not too much more in terms of the intensity of the winds. this is moving around 50 kilometers per hour. that's quite a lick and continue making its way northeast moving into the open waters pretty quickly. friday, we are going to see very heavy rain just pushing up towards the far northeast of japan. you can see how it's start to go ease up. we have got the grounds saturated, further heavy rainfall to come here. by that stage, we are finally in the clear, so times for things to dry up have improved, but

that live risk remains in place for sometime. we have rain in the eastern side of india. you can see the massive cloud at the moment. more clouds and the rainfall start to go set in nicely at long last in the far northwestern portion of india. still hot in new delhi. >> we are going to come back in just a moment. the ukrainian government trying to take more territory from pro-russian separatists. >> in sport, bow got to inevitable in southee, an apology to the nation for a word cup plan that went wrong. wrong.

>> looking into spying allegations, standard operating procedure, angela merkel responded to the crisis saying spying between allies is a waste of time with crisis in syria on going. her finance minister is perhaps the second most powerful politician in germany before the expulsion announced said it was laughable to imagine this taking place and that americans should recruit what he described as a third rate intelligence analyst and so laughable that he could only cry at the situation, but expelling the c.i.a. station chief or the top spy, whatever

the correct title is for the person is safe to say unprecedented since the beginning of the cold war. two allies, germany and the united states having this kind of disagreement about spying. >> i was trying to mention in the situation that this may or may not be related to the bugging of angela merkel's phone and from what you say, it probably isn't, but would the climate of the two nations have been affected by the revelations that led to a little less of a give and take in this situation? >> there's a noble effect here. last october angela merkel found that the n.s.a. was listening in on her cell phone calls. that prompted a call from her to barack obama, the american president saying essentially what are you doing, this has to stop. she was assured that her phone would no longer be tapped but

that didn't go for all of the other top german officials. after that, the germans said we are willing to deal with you and come up with a no-spy agreement, the kind you have with canada, the united kingdom, new zealand and australia, five countries that have pledged not to spy on each other. there were months of negotiations which went nowhere to german disappointment and then you have two back-to-back spy scandals involving the americans trying to find out in the first instance what the germans knew about the national security agencies operations in germany and then in a second instance, somebody in the military passing on documents it is understood to american intelligence officials. it just was too much, coming too close together for the german government not to react and the public opinion here, i think is massively behind doing something

about american spying. they know google and facebook and other companies have been cooperating the american intelligence agencies and that their private data could be accessible, could be used by american intelligence agencies. the history is one where people remember the police state and the national socialists and just don't want to go down that route again. >> nick spicier there in berlin. diplomatic language, perhaps being asked to leave, but undoubtedly undiplomatic between the u.s. and germany. >> the israeli military says that the killing of eight members of a family in gaza was a tragic mistake. six of those who died were children. this is during three days of israeli air strikes on gaza that have left 84 people dead.

>> an ambulance here is never idle for long. sometimes in gaza city, there just aren't enough. >> where are the ambulances? we need ambulances. >> by air, land and sea, the israeli onslaught rains down on gaza, striking hamas buildings and private homes. often first comes a several warning, like the one this man got tuesday, giving him and his family time to escape. >> i work for an electric company. i wasn't expecting this. i work all day. i wasn't expecting my house to be hit. nothing is safe in the gaza strip. >> sometimes the israelis don't call first. >> what did these kids do wrong that the house was hit while they were inside? if they were making rockets, the blood of those kids is not

spilled for nothing. >> the latest victim, a 2-year-old girl. for the second time, palestinian frogmen, shown here, were killed trying to infiltrate the military base from the sea. it was supposed to be a time of celebration. >> normally during ramadan in the evening, the shops would be open, the sidewalks full of people, the streets full of cars, but now the bombings have shut gaza down. >> now the word on many gazans lips are invasion. >> it looks like we will face the israelis broadly. if they invade gaza, it will be their last option. >> with thousands of israel army reservists called up for duty and tanks on the gas mistake border, palestinians here fear ramadan will begin with an air assault and end with a ground

invasion. aljazeera, gaza. >> robert turner is in charge of the united nations works and relief agency in gaza joining us. after rebuilding parts of gaza, now watching it knocked down again, what can you tell us about the people on the ground, the innocents? >> people are scared. what you've seen is a massive air campaign all across the gaza stritch, more than 80 dead, 500 injured are the reported numbers. the streets, as your correspondents so you are empty, the shops closed. people are terrified. they are staying indoors, staying with their families and they're hoping this is going to end soon. >> the staying indoors is not necessarily an option, when thunderstorms in largely civilian areas, all civilian areas, people are unaware hamas

are nearby and being tarted and won't be safe in their own homes. >> in a place as densely populated as gaza, much more densely populated than the urban areas, no matter the technology, it's extremely difficult not to have civilian casualties if you're bombing in these densely populated areas. >> most of your attention is on those people hurt and things that need to be done, so what would you say the priority is right now? >> right now, two main priorities. we declared an emergency. tuesday, we attitude up our operations rooms, our preparedness levels are as high as they can be, but our priority the last couple of days has been to maintain the very important programs we have on going. two all of our 22 health continue knicks are open. we had one of the health centers i visited yesterday more than

600 patients, mothers bringing patients for vaccinations in the midst of a bombing campaign. i visited one of our distribution centers for food assistance program. yesterday, we described food to more than 12,000 families in gaza as part of our regular programming. these people depend on the assistance. we've focused on keeping that assistance going and gearing up for what we're afraid is going to be a much larger crisis. >> we'll be hearing from a doctor say medical supplies are needed. i'd like your thoughts on that and in terms of the food coming in. you mentioned there that you're wondering whether this is going to be much bigger, much worse than it is now. how you are preparing for that? >> well, if you look at the last two conflicts in november, 2012, when there was only an air campaign and not a ground invasion, we ended up with about 12,000-14,000 displaced in our schools for a number of days. they were then able to return home.

while there was a significant amount of damage to shelters and infrastructures, it was not anything like during the war of 2000 and 2009 when thousands of homes were destroyed during the ground invasion. of course our concern is that there lab ground invasion this time, we'll see massive displacement, massive damage to infra structure and to shelters and be back in rebuilding mode. just this year we were hope to go house those who lost homes in the 2009 war. we hope not to restart that process. >> what about the food and much needed medical supplies? >> the world health organization and others have made very clear that the help system in gaza is near collapse. there is huge shortage of disposables, medicines.

the machines are breaking down and can't be fixed. we are running out of the fuel for the generators. we provide primary health care to the palestinian refugees here but for tertiary and secondary care, the entire population is dependent on those services and they're in dire need. >> robert turner there in charge of the united nations relief works agency talking to us from gaza. appreciate it. >> amnesty international claim two former presidents must be held accountable for violence. 2,000 people were killed up to a million lost their homes. the conflict began when muslim selica rebels seized power, toppling the president. groups opposed formed a militia.

high profile figures were identified for the atrocity. >> >> the big problem, a lot of war crimes committed there and crimes against humanity. those responsible for those crimes are enjoying impunity ad this is not acceptable. we are calling to make sure investigations are opened to

gather proof about those people so they have to be prosecuted. impunity is a major concern and reason why people continue fighting and killing each other. because i can kill, i can do what i want and no one is going to do anything to me. >> three ukrainian soldiers have been killed, 27 hurt in the east of the country where government forces retook slovyansk on sunday and continued to attempt at least to drive out pro-russian separatists from their strongholds. in eastern you a crane, we have this report. >> edging closer, the ukrainian army is mobilizing towards donetsk, the closest it has been. a huge column ofar tilly and

troop trucks, soldiers poised just on the outskirts of the region's largest city in the heart of the separatist movement. emboldened by the recent victory, president poroshenko visits his troops on the front lines, hundreds of separatist fighters keep watch in donetsk. he is disturbed by the fighting and pro-russian separatists in her city. she fears retaliation from the separatists, many living down the street. >> we have gone through so much. the scary thing is to see our business destroyed and our future is unpredictable. >> the train station have had a steady flow of people leaving over the past several weeks. because of hundreds of separatist fighters who arrived over the weekend, it's much more urgent for some. >> the trains go all directions,

east to russia and out of the area controlled by the separatists. >> i'm leaving donetsk. i'm disturbed for my parents, as they are old. we are traveling to the far west. i'm meeting my son, who is traveling from odessa. here the future is very disturbing. i want peace very much. >> with the staging of these troops and the strong words out of kiev, a peaceful outcome looks less likely. aljazeera, donetsk, ukraine. >> the new government in india is focusing on the economy. he said goods and service tax, remove caps on foreign investment. government help is wanted to compete with china. >> the group is a giant of

indian manufacturing. its expertise is in building industrial sites, pumps and valves and earned the company revenues of $2 billion a year. >> the last two years have been the discussion. >> manufacturing is treated like a step child, so many rules and regulations that we need to follow. some are needed and some don't allow us to compete with china or the other countries that are, you know, really big in manufacturing. >> it's a common complaint among manufacturers. their industry is contracting and they say the new government must as part of its first budget improve infrastructure and abolish retroactive taxes, but business leaders argue that more fundamental changes are also needed. >> last year, manufacturing

contributed around 15% to the countries economy, but it's true potential is much higher. to grow, business leaders need labor reform. >> the world bank says india has one of the toughest labor markets in the world, laws make it difficult to hire and fireworkers, encouraging companies to stay small. >> you have a labor act and the factories act, all of them when they were done, they are pretty able old so to say, so it's not kept up with time. >> the government agrees loosening labor laws is critical, but trade unions will fight back efforts to undermine workers' rights. >> these are human beings. they cannot be treated as a commodity. if that happens, the manufacturers will suffer. the new government should not try these experiments. they should not try to change the labor laws. it will be catastrophic for them. >> analysts say manufacturing

here could be a one trillion-dollar industry, and create 19 million more jobs in the next 10 years. business leaders are counting on the government to help them fulfill that potential. >> coming up, they think it's all over, well, it almost is. argentina booking their place in the football world cup final this sunday. stay with us.
