another attack on a u.n. school in gaza. 10 killed, 30 injured. you're watching al jazeera live from doha. coming up, thousands flee libya as the two biggest cities descend into chaos. the scramble for nepal's energy between its giant neighbours, the indian prime minister visits to regain ground lost to china. columbian civil war victims face to face with perpetrators for the first time in talks between

the government and f.a.r.c. rebels. >> israel sceped up attacks in the south of gaza -- stepped up attacks in gaza. in the last few hours a u.n. school was attacked, 10 people were kill. 30 were injured. chris of the united nations relief and works agency told al jazeera they have not confirmed whether the school was targeted nor if it was israeli fire. >> we have to be clear and careful before we come out and make accusations and let me make it clear. when there is evidence, as there was with the school a few days ago. we were clear that it was artillery from the israelis, we condemned it in strong language in a serious violation.

let's see what the case is. there's no point making premature accusations. that would be to undermine the authority and neutrality. it's the family silver, which we are guarding jealously. the precise coordinates of all coordinations are given to israeli authorities. when we drive vehicles around, that's coordinated with the israeli authorities. without pointing the finger of blame, they would have known what it was, and the fact that it was displaced. >> so as we said, rafah is boning pummelled by the scribings. we report from an area outside rafah and a warning that you may find some of the images disturb. >> 3 yield iya's face was burnt

after a strike hit her home. her mother was killed in an attack. in another bed is isra and her daughter. she had both her legs amputated after her home was hit also. i was trying to leave the house when the rocket exploded. >> this was daughter - she suffered burns on her feet. her husband and son had her leg's amputated. an another suffered serious burns. three on the family suffered attack. >> there are many injured in rafah. there aren't sufficient facilities. we can't bring them here. the pictures were shot by a journalist in rafah. the town has been sealed off by the israeli military since the breakdown of the latest ceasefire. we drove south from gaza city in convoy with other journalists.

there was almost no one else on the road. behind me is around 4km to the town of rafah, where we saw the intense israeli bombardment over the last couple of days. we have been speaking to ambulance men and locals that managed to get out, and they told us it's literally too dangerous to go down there at the moment. this ambulance is one of two attacked as it tried to reach wounded people. >> translation: it's impossible to coordinate with the israeli military to get the ambulances in. it is very dangerous. abdullah says a colleague was trying to negotiate when his ambulance was hit. >> translation: in rafah there's no security for anyone to move. no taxis, no civilian cars. the ambulance dropped people at the hospital. that's when the strike happened. the vehicle took a direct hit. >> these medics say they'll try to get into rafah to help the

injured. innocent children, who have no role in what israel describes as hamas's terror campaign. well our reporter has managed to get into rafah now. until a short time ago, it was too dangerous for anybody to get into rafah. what is the situation now? >> well, we understand that humanitarian goods have been allowed into rafah, and patients suffering from critical injuries have been allowed out. i'm standing at the kuwaiti hospital. this is a paediatric hospital and it has about 15 beds. in the last 24 hours it received 300 patients, many suffering from multiple and serious injuries, i'll show you something here. i'm direct my camera into the tent, in the parking lot. what you see here is doctors and other medical workers preparing

for the worst. this is the car park of the hospital. as you can see, they are sitting, waiting to deal with patients. they believe they may see violence, and this is effectively where a number of these, around 300 critically injured people have been coming since, again, in the last 24 hours. and again it will give you a sense of the scene here. effectively, i'll have my cameraman show you the medical supplies that they have. as you can see, there's not a lot of medical supplies. they are running extremely low. if we see the violence here again in rafah, i'm not sure how these people will cope, how the medical personnel will cope. as we say, in a period of 24 hours, over 300 people here for treatment. >> indeed, we have been talking about the u.n. school in rafah, which was hit.

may have been hit in an israeli strike. the fact remains that it was a place where thousands were taking shelter because they hoped to be safe. there doesn't seem to be anywhere safe in gaza. >> indeed. this is the third time that a u.n. school designated as a shelter, designated as a safe place, has been targeted by shelling. here in rafah, 10 people died a few days ago in jabalia. the largest refugee example in gaza, home to around 100,000 people. a school sheltering 3,000 people, between 60 and 19 were killed. as you point out. it really lends to this feeling that most gazans have, which is no place is safe. whether it's their homes, u.n. shelters, it doesn't seem that anywhere they go. they go and have shelters. an arrest from the violence that they have seep.

as we have been saying, that seems to be getting higher. >> i know you were here. some suggestion that the israeli operation is pulling back out of some areas, lihir being one of them. do you see tanks leaving the area, people going back home? >> the reason we wept was because we were under the impression that people were able to go home, af weeks of conflict. when we got there, there were air strikes, a number of houses destroyed, and people that returned decided to leave. in terms of whether we saw israeli forces withdraw, we haven't seen any. in the hours that we were there, we heard a lot of artillery shelling. and what we believe were air strikes. the israelis say they were winding down the grouped

operations or pulling out some of their forces. the fighting hasn't stopped for people in those areas, and in rafah we have seen some of the worst fighting. >> an update from the bombarded area of rafah in gaza there. >> now, fierce fighting turned libya's two biggest cities into battle grounds. 22 killed on saturday in the fight for militias. all depots burnt after being hit by fire. the reppa gayed general in -- renegade general khalifa haftar in benghazi was overturned after army bases were overrun. thousands are fleeing to tunisia. we have this report from the border crossing in tunisia. >> reporter: they all look the same - exhausted but relieved as they leave libya and cross to

tunisia. >> this 19-year-old says it's not safe any more in tripoli. >> the missile landed next to our house. he packed his bag and left. >> it's not secure in tripoli, it's chaos. no fuel, oil or electricity. nothing. >> thousands chose to flee with the families as libyan militia said fought each other on the streets. for some of these people it took days to cross as desperate families tried to use the border crossing. >> the situation is dangerous. you can hear heavy gunshots. we are scared for our lives. we fled to tunisia. >> reporter: after closing the border for a day, the government reopened it. only partially. only for those who have proof

they are passing through tunisia and not planning to stay. government officials say tunisia can't become a shelter for refugees, just a transit for those trying to leave. the estrictions meant thousands were stranded on the libyan side of the border for days. on saturday a plan was agreed to start a process of evacuations. a couple of thousands a day will be allowed in, to go to the airport. they'll be lucky enough to get through. it will take days. hundreds of thousands of foreign nationals make their living working in oil-rich libya. a fraction has left the country, as violence escalates, they are expected to evacuate. countries have concerns on how an exodus will affect the

economy. >> especially as borders have been closed and for many this is the only route out. >> syrian government forces reportedly killed 50 rebels in an ambush near the lebannees border. fighters from the al nusra front crossed into lebanon. lebanese troops paused into the town. gunmen killed eight soldiers and two civilians. they abducted several soldiers in retaliation for the arrest of one of their leaders. >> coming up on the programme... >> i'm jim friend in berlin, where germans are remembering a war that many had almost forgotten.

>> it's a chilling and draconian sentence... it simply cannot stand. >> this trial was a sham... >> they are truth seekers... >> all they really wanna do is find out what's happening, so they can tell people... >> governments around the world all united to condemn this... >> as you can see, it's still a very much volatile situation... >> the government is prepared to carry out mass array... @

welcome back. a reminder of the top stories - the palestinian health ministry is reporting 10 were killed and 30 injured in an attack on a u.n. school in rafah. chris gunes of the works agency has not confirmed whether the school was targeted or if it was israeli fire. four weeks of israeli bombardment took a toll on gaza's health infrastructure. the u.n. office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs says medical services are on the brink of collapse. 40% of staff are unable to get to hospitals or clinics. a third have been damaged by israeli attacks. and half of all primary care

clinics are closed. a doctor from the schiffa hospital us that medical facilities are overwhelm. >> in 15 minutes, 100, sometimes 200 casualties on the spot. no hospital in the world can deal with that. what we do, really, the oldest staff are rushed to the emergency. we try to sort the patient out. then it will be - the most serious to icu. others follow, taken to the main icu. some of them we took. if the flood of patients cannot be known to us. minor surgery can be done on the into. this is how we deal with a disastrous situation. nobody can say we have an ideal

way to deal with that. no hospital in the globe will deal with casualties within 15-30 minutes. >> thousands of israel and palestinian supporters held competing rallies in australia. [ chanting ] large numbers of palestinian jans were in the streets of sydney. demonstrations held a separate rally in the eastern suburbs. >> in sri lanka a hard-line buddhist group was accused of inciting violence. there was a report in an interlinked economy. the attacks hurting the livelihoods of buddhists themselves. it took 22 years for this man to build his garment factory. minutes for a crowd to destroy it. he says people descended on his home and factory on the 15th of juning allegedly encouraged by a

hard line muslim group. they set fire to everything he owned. >> translation: 65 to 70 people lost their jobs. they have no work. i'm not in a position to help them. >> translation: these are the women the attack has really hurt. factory workers from the majority senna lease buddhist community. this woman worked here for eight years. >> translation: i took a loan from the bank to pay for my daughter's wedding and i pay it off by the money i earn working at the factory. the owner lent me money to repay my loans before pay date. members of the muslim council say hardline groups are misinformed about the wealth of the community. they point out that at least 90% of people employed by muslim businesses are senna lease buddhists. if something should happen to

other industries, the effect is more on them than us. because we take care of ourselves through insurance, through other reserves, which we do. according to the governor of sri lanka's central bank. the fact that a business is owned by a community does not mean they receive treatment. >> those prepared to work harder gain the benefit of the hard work. >> as seen in cities like colombo, posterity doesn't discriminate between religion and ethnicity. sri lankans are familiar with tough signs. for 30 years the economy suffered. the government is trying to better the livelihoods of millions of people, and decision makers understand that prosperity will only come with political stability and communal

harmony. officials in nepal have given up hope of finding more than 100 missing after a landslide in the north. ate bodies have been -- eight bodies have been recovered. sliding mud and rocks created a dam, sparking concern about flash flooding. well the river is part of a vast network of fast-flowing rivers in nepal, providing the country with huge untapped hired power sources and sourcing more power is on agenda for visiting underian prime minister narendra modi. india's traditional dominance is challenged by china. >> reporter: the river in eastern nepal joins the gangies in india and it was upon the river that the two countries built a water treaty in 1951. india built a licence, and a barrage near the indian borders and plans to development hired electricity upstream. the dam would submerge 79

villages. in the indian state politicians sold dreams from hired electricity. in nepal the first seed of mistrust was planted. >> translation: the benefits of high dams and embanksments, from what i understand, will go to india. if india gets 80%, nepal gets 20%. >> reporter: the village does not have any say over the embanksments. tensions rose when they broke. india controls it. hundreds were killed, especially downstream in india. agricultural villages became deserts. with the prime minister of india visiting nepal, the waters captured the imagine nations of politicians on both sides. border. it had a huge potential to develop electricity. india wants it, what is missing is the mutual trust required for the two countries to come up with a deal to buy and sell the

power. the visit is expected to change the ill will to goodwill. >> we made plenty of the treaties with india in the past. india has not implemented many of them. with a power trade agreement, we want to open a door for hired power trade. that door shall remain open for other countries as well. >> china is already investing in hydroelectricity in nepal. agreements from india with clauses like 100% indian investment keeps nepalese skeptical of their interests. with the southern neighbour wielding power over so many of their leaders, there's a fear that nepali politicians might give into a deal that would damage their interests. for the first time those injured in the decade-long fight against columbian f.a.r.c. rebels are about to meet former

enemies. with this report from bogota, it's the main element of a new round of peace talks in cuba. >> reporter: 14 years ago this soldier was nearly killed in an ambush by f.a.r.c. rebels. he lost both legs, but not the spirit of survival. she married, had three children, works as a security agent and doesn't want revenge against his attackers. as a victim i asked them to stop recruiting children. they take them and give them a gun. i change it for a ball of food. victims like him will face rebels in havana cuba, where peace negotiations have been ongoing since 2012. 15 delegates will represent 4,000 victims from around columbia. they say it's impossible to bring to the table the demands of millions of victims of murder, kidnapping and sexual

violence. >> what we want to know is the truth of what's to us, we can't bring them to tribunals. the state should punish them. the repatriations process is not only about paying those, the government sends victims a letter offering forgiveness and giving them application. >> this process generated such interest that the center for victims gets on average 20,000 calls for those that say they deserve repatriations. peace negotiations proposed are the closest columbia has come to achieving peace after 50 years of war. challenges are difficult. >> will the rebels be punished. will they tell the truth. where are the disappeared. the victims need a solution to

feel they are not making sacrifices. if they believe the rebels feel repent ept, will the victims be willing to not demand harsh gaol terms? we'll have to see. >> the talks will be the hardest. the rebels want their grave appses acknowledged. the issue for victims like him and columbians is finding the strength to forgive. now, the sepp tennary of world war i leave the germans unsure how to commemorate something that cost them huge reparations and millions of lives. it's a war that shaped the 20th century. many of the visitors to this exhibition in the german capital admit that until now they knew little about its detail and true meaning.

overshadowed by the world war ii germans shutter at memories of the imperial pass. so this exhibition takes a broad european and global perspective. >> translation: various countries is it were involved, ooemp outside of europe. this escalation of violence reached a level never seen before. it was not om the soldiers who were victims, but the civilians. >> while the german government marks the 100th anniversary. the chancellor acknowledged historical significance has been accentuated by tensions with russia over ukraine. conflicts about spheres of influence are not a thing of the past. there's no better way to gauge german interest in world war i, than looking at how it sees its

soldiers, tucked away in a berlin suburb. much of the cemetery is laid out in the style of an orna helmetal garden, obscuring the graves. it's a low-key commemoration. >> some observers believe that the anniversary will reawaken awareness. great war and its lessons. if you are identifying a specific chapter in your family history, which you have not really been aware of for decades, jemans are starting to work on this, and finding their way to deal with it, and this may be the beginning. >> as berliners enjoy the summer sunshine, the events a century ago seem as distant as ever. perhaps for some, the anniversary helped to put history into sharper

perspective. 10 years ago n.a.s.a. launched an ambitious mission to explore mercury. the spacecraft "messenger" is sending back information still. >> reporter: it took "messenger" six years to enter the orbit around mercury, 58 million kilometres from north. scientists who built it at the john hopkins laboratory figured they could send back 2,000 images of a planet too close to the sun for telescopes to observe. after receiving 10 times the number, they have a wealth of data about mercury. where temperatures ranged from 450 down to 150 degrees celsius. on this globe they mapped the top og rahsy with new information sent back by "messenger" as a few months ago. it produced evidence inside the north pole craters are deposits

of water ice, an encouraging finding to those that dream of making human settlement in deep space a reality. >> this is saying to us that one of the processies that takes place in the solar system cap trap water and have it there if we get there. >> the facts learnt about the properties on, below and above mercury's surface are small pieces of a grand solar system puzzle that the scientists want to solve. there's a difference and progress on how the planets look at the composition. we are trying to understand how it makes a consistent picture of the formation and evolution of the solar system. messenger is projected to lose orbit and crash into the planet next april. it will take another year for the data to e analysed. the european space agency plans to launch two more orbiters to

carry on the mission. and don't forget you can keep up to date with all the news in the - and the day's developments on the website. the address aljazeera.com. vowing to fight on israel's prime minister to continue his assault against gaza after hamas's tunnels are destroyed. this as another u.n. school is hit killing at least 10. in treatment, the american doctor infected with ebola is in the u.s. treated at an atlanta hospital. tox ig watered - state of

emergency in ohio, as a large city declares its water not safe to drink. the rush to find other options. >> i pay homage to you guys. you represent what the game is about. greats of the game. the n.f.l. inducting the latest hall of famers. >> good morning, welcome to al jazeera america this sunday morning. hospitals turned into morgues as the fighting escalates. israeli air strikes entered the 27th day. the city of rafah was hardest hit. neighbourhoods are deserted. the main hospital closed. 1752 palestinians have been kill. the u.n. says three quarterers are civilians. on the israeli side the toll is standing at 64 soldiers and three civilians. >> a lieutenant was captured in gaza on friday, and died from the fighting. the country's prime minister promised to continue the fight

for as long as necessary. binyamin netanyahu says some israeli troops are pulling back. a ceasefire appears further out of reach as israel decides not to send a delegation for talks in egypt. al jazeera's nick schifrin is live in gaza city. a lot going on, what do you see there. >> good morning. we are seeing the continued air strikes um we were up north, two miles were here. bate lihir, the neighbourhood that the israeli military said was safe. heard constant air strikes. in the south, in rafah, it's about a 45 minute drive the other direction from here. as you said, a run school hit. we talked to u.n. officials. it was likely an air strike that hit, unlike the other schools. this was an air strike outside the gate of that school. the israeli military not commenting. a local report saying a target of two men on a bike outside the

school. 10 dead, 30 wound, including one u.n. staff. nine u.n. staffers have been killed. in the conflict over the last month. seven different schools. you have to understand the schools are not schools, it's the summer, of course. children were there up until about a month ago, and now. they are absolutely overfilled with people who have been displaced from the war. more than half a million fled their homes, one in three of everyone in the area. we hear of someone strike, and talk about one in three going to the schools. if the schools and homes are not safe, where can i go that is safe. that's what they are asking. >> we are hearing strong words from binyamin netanyahu, and lass seeing a withdrawal of

tanks. the bottom line is the ground offensive that we are seeing, the intensity, bombardment of tanks by utilities, that has basically ended, we are in a face in which israeli troops will pull back towards the border. as you saw from the u.n. strike, they have the capacity to strike deep in gaza. they'll pull back a little so the intensity of the ground operation will reduce. we heard from binyamin netanyahu, that the military has the ability to strike into gaza if hamas fires into israel. >> translation: the people of israel do not have the will and determination to fight them.

hamas, again will learn the hard way. israel will do whatever it must do to protect its people. >> so the bottom line is as israel continues to strike gaza. they'll slowly pull back until the tunnels are all destroyed. we talked about them. more than 30 tunnels leading from gaza, focussed on destroying the tunnels. israeli military officials telling me their a day or two at the most destroying the tunnels. it will be an air campaign, drone and air strikes. fewer ground troops and fewer tank and artillery strikes. >> thank you. protesters around the world are speaking out about the loss in the fight between hamas and israel? venezuela, pro-palestinian supporters marched in caracas, joined by palestinian women and children waving banners in support. in san diego, chile, as many as

thousands called for the government to break relations for his rail. they wore masks and blackout fits. riot police were on hand in paris after similar protests last week ended in conflict. in the u.s. thousands made their case outside the white house. >> reporter: they came from the bus load as far away as philadelphia, new york and chicago. travelling hundreds of miles to send a message to policy makers in washington. the view among the thousands gathered outside the white house that israeli use of force in gaza is out of proportion, in comparison to rocket attacks in hamas. >> there has been daily protests outside the white house. this is the largest as public anger over the high number of

palestinian casualties rise. >> there's a genocidal massacre in gaza. people that believe in freedom and justice meed to stand up. demanding that human dignity be respected. >> there's frustration too at historically uncontinual support. saying that israel must do more, blaming hamas for breaking a 72 hour truce. >> it will be hard to put a ceasefire back together again. if israelis and the international community can't feel confident that hamas can follow through on a ceasefire. it's a view the pr israel supporters try to inject into the discussion. police escorted

them away. it's a humanitarian issue. i feel like president barack obama is on the wrong side of history. killing nnt people is not viable. >> it's unclear if anyone is listening of the the u.s. congress left for a month-long recess and president obama was playing golf and celebrating his befored, away from the noise of the protests outside -- birthday, away from the noise outside the chows. >> it was the largest pro-palestinian march. an estimated 10,000 people attended. tunisian officials urged 50,000 nationals in libya to get out. the border crossing opened this weekend. it was closed on friday after tunisian officials were hit by a

incentives are being offered. the speaker, marilyn, welcomed the plan to offer tesla incentives saying any time we can lure an industry with return on our investment, that is something we should look at. >> tesla is leaving the door open for other states to offer more. according to u.s. s today industry experts believe the company could be looping for $300 million to $600 million. >> the problem is the companies want state and local officials to compete, to bribe them - putting it in blunt terms. to bribe them to invest in a particular location. watch dogs say most large companies with the big tax brags don't need then -- breaks, don't need them, and they'd be better used by individuals and families. there's cases where the companies exceed tax credits. they sold the credits to a third party for a profit, reducing

revenues. public officials are straight to win the deals in the name of job creation. the deals are offering benefits upfront, but not requiring is company to stay for the long term. at a dell computer plant, they received more than $270 million in subsidies, but later decided to shut down and eliminated all the jobs created. everygreen solo plant is another champ. receiving 68 million. then they shut the facility and moved to china. small portions of the money paid out were recouped. >> now, that lithium batteries will be built for the tesla cards. nevada boasts the only lithium mine. >> harley davidson is recalling boats after an ignition switch issue was discovered.

40% of all the medical officials. ambulance drives, nurse, doctors. 40% cannot get to the hospitals because it's too dangerous for them. more than a dazen ambulance drivers and officials have been kill. many are out of space or damages or effected by the conflict. medical services were fragile before the war. they were short of medicine, the conflict pushing it past the breaking points. >> diplomats are working to reach a ceasefire. how likely is it that a truce can be reached at this point? >> at this point it seems that israel will decide when the war

ends. diplomatic teams will going to cairo. if you listened to israeli officials, it's clear that israel no longer trusts hamas. they don't have the patience. they are moving troops back to the border this morning, to a certain extent, continuing to go after the tunnels, and binyamin netanyahu last night asking for the world's support. >> stand with israel as it confronts hamas. stand with israel as it defend itself against hamas, deliberate and indiscriminate attacks on our civilians. >> now, of course, hamas responded to that today. it believes that that speech was a sign of weakness and of desperation from israel. >> reporter: the press conference by binyamin netanyahu was an attempt to repair the israeli spirit following the

defeat before palestinian resistance. the claims of destroying the tunnels were funny and groundless. ... >> both sides are arguing over the points. more than half a millian gazans fled their home. after the u.n. school and hospitals have been hit they ask where can we go to escape the violence. >> after three weeks of violence, a third of gazans hospitals have been damaged. a lot of plans unable to get to where they need to because it's too dranction. strat reports many hospitals are makeshift morgues. the report has images some my find disturbing. this 3-year-old's surveys was hit after an air strike hit

so it's not airborne. beam at atlanta are not at rick, only those -- at risk. having said that the chances of survival are massively increased if you get dent med dal -- decent medical care like in a country like america. the problem is that the medical care is not very good. there is a serum, but it's only at the moment in the experimental stages. >> john terrett live in washington d.c. thank you. a doctor in minnesota is believed to be the first non-african to survive ebola. tom worked as a missionary doctor in zi ear in 1972, coming into contact with a patient who died before he had a chance to diagnose him. he fell ill. had vomiting, aching, unaware of what ailed him. >> i nicked my finger with a scal pal. it was two weeks later i came

through tunisia and not planning to stay. government officials say tunisia can't become a shelter for refugees, just a transit for those trying to leave. the restrictions meant that thousands of egyptians were stranded on the border for days. on saturday a plan was agreed with the you gip shan government to start a process of evacuations. a couple of thousands will be allowed in, to go to the airport like these egyptians, lucky enough to get through. it will take days since egypt closed borders, and for many, this border crossing is the only route out. >> and we are joined life from the border between tunisia and libya. is tunisia able to handle all the people trying to cross the border? >> well, so far yes, and the government here feels that they have put enough restrictions on who can get in and out of here,

entire city has been told do not dripping the water. first a look -- drink the water. first a look at the forecast. and dry conditions out west. >> the area of exceptional draught over the last couple of weeks, expanding from 35%. that's the highest level of drought to double that. 60% raping -- range. there's moist your in the south, but the fires are in the north and central areas. that's where we have been dealing with a number of large fires. that's is a concern for us as we get into the next week. one area is wet. the green. all the browns that you see are different fire dangers. it's not just the lack of rain, it's high temperatures. drying everything out. you can see closer to the coastline. los angeles - you get more interior, and you look at a lot of high temperatures. 97 into the day tomorrow. drying out the vegetation other

temperatures around the country. places like new york. 78 degrees. it's a little on the cool side. it's a mixed pressing in that count. >> app autopsy is scheduled for an 8-year-old. a mother did not find out about the death until she smet the decomposing body. the father waited days to tell her the boy had died. police charged him with concealing the death. it's not clear how the boy decide. the couple's five other chin, including another disabled child who the mother cared for are in protective custody. >> an "american idol" michael johns died from a blood clot in his angle. he was found dead at a friend's home on friday. according to t.m.z. he went to a doctor complaining of pain and swelling in his leg, likely caused by a twisted ankle. the australian-born swinger

problems. >> a website helping customers determine if they are driving a recalled car is not working. some use the vein number look-up call are sold the cars are not recalled, when it's just that the parts are not in. the national highway traffic situation reported the glitch. and they urged people who used the tool to recheck it. g.m. recalled thousands of vehicles over faulty ignition switches. investigators trying to figure out what caused a vat of egg nothing flavour ouring to blow up at a lab. seven workers were inside, two suffering injuries. they make flavouring ingredients. remarkers started a new recipe for egg nothing when the vat ignited. >> 4,000 die in the u.s. one florida city is taking action to decrease drowning deaths among african american

and now - and now i'm not afraid any more. >> reporter: so far 40 kid have taken advantage of free lessons. the city hopes more kiss will jump in and learn. the cdc says children need to be supervised in or around the water. house republicans challenge the president with their own immigration bill and why bill clinton chose not to take out osama bin laden before 9/11. "the week ahead" is next. >> also, she left a mark on the caribbean. bracing for trouble in the u.s., tropical trouble after the break.

. >> the ayes 223, the nays is

191. the bill is passed. it did hap ip, republicans came together to pass a bill before leaving on their summer break. welcome back to al jazeera america, i'm jonathan betz. not likely to go anywhere. if it did make it to the p's desk, he said he'd veto it. >> i'll have to act alone. we don't have the resources. we have been clear. we run out of money. we are going to have to reallocate resources to make sure that some of the basic functions that have to take place down there - whether it's making sure that the children are properly housed or there's enough immigration judges to process their cases, that they are done. we'll have to reallocate

resources. >> he's threatening to take executive action. that's first up in week in politics. jonathan carter joins us, a political analyst, and tom doherty, former advisor for general pataki. tom, why would the house pass an immigration bill that will not go anywhere? >> the house obviously has different views on the future for the country than the president does. the problem that the president has is he has approval ratings in the low 40s. there's a school shooting he talks about it for five minutes. a crisis in ukraine, sirria, talks about it for five minutes. he can't focus on anything and talk about things in a long-term solution, bringing everyone together. we have a border crisis. we talk about it. we never discuss issues where he

stays on mess bige for more than five minutes. >> that was n the question. this is not the house republicans problem. their job is to legs lay. the president needs toed. the reason the united states senator needs to flip. it started with obamacare, gone to immigration, the foreign policy is a mess. it's not the house republicans problem that the president cannot lead. >> first of all, good morning. i'll give mr doherty, a good friend of mine, a pass this time. because his son was married over the weekend and we are happy. >> congratulations. >> thank you. >> tom couldn't be more wrong in terms of his assessment. notice he didn't answer your question. they are providing raw meat to the base. they know it's not going anywhere. they have eric cantor's loss and

are scared to do anything on immigration. tom pointed out the president's approval rating is in the low 40s. and congress? >> who cares. >> they are 37-80%. >> that's the senate democrats. they are congress. they are in congress as well. >> i'll give you that much. >> there's two branches. legislator. and we have three. >> let me jump in first. >> the president has nothing to lose. >> he races a good pipt. senate democrats are not doing much. >> that is the only downside if president obama goes ahead with executive order on immigration. those in the senate in tough battles, it will not play well

for them. let's keep it in the senate. keep in mind president obama won 70% of the vote. of course, that is in the back of his mind. is he supposed to let gridlock move. >> jonathan, i have been a republican for years - there are times only last year, i am for immigration reform. however, i want a serious conversation. first and foremost seal the american border. any country would do that. once you seal the border you have an open conversation about the 15 million undisputed workers. give them a path to citizenship. ronal regan wanted amnesty for them. i'm in favour of that. all we deal with with the white house is chaos.

you can't have thousands of children - he did it in the middle of 2012, sending the wrong signal. if you come illegally as a child we will grant you status. that says to the rest of the kids in the westerly direction come here, we'll grant you -- in the world, come here, we'll grant you status. we don't have the resources. i'm not against immigration reform, i'm for it. >> is that a fair point that president obama could have brought some of this on him. >> it is a fair point. it's fair to make the assessment that this white house sep the message that if the kids arrived. whether intentional or not, but if you arrive here, you could stay here. the only thing i disagree with, how can the president secure the border. how can he deal with the kids when republicans won't pass the bill that provides the money to do exactly this. so they are talking out of both sides of their mouth. >> let's move on to another

subject. the house voted to proceed with a lawsuit against the president. nancy pelosi weighed in on the seriousness of the case saying: so, tom, where is this lawsuit going, why do through with it? >> i think the lawsuit has merit on this basis. when jonathan hurty, people who are -- hurley, people who are not - they are scholars. you pass the obamacare, and the president steps in saying "i'll change pieces of that law", on his open. that's a problem -- on his own that's a problem. nothing to do with him being a democrats. it's not the number of executive orders, it's how you go about changing existing law. presidents can't do that. the position i have, the way he challenged it is what a lot of republicans wanted. >> the way the system works, you

go back to the legislators and say pass the legislation to put the fixes in. you can't do it unilaterally. he doesn't have the rights o do that. i would say the same thing. it's not about - i'm a run can, i disagree with the president. he's my president. i want a successful country. some in my party, no matter what he says, they disagree with. we have a system of laws. you need to go back and let them fix the law. >> the night of the president's re-election. we were on a show together. he had fought aguess ily. the moment the election was called. he said "this is my president. i want him to succeed. i'll give him credit for that and his son's wedding. the speaker - leader nancy

pelosi said the lawsuit is waste of time, money agenda for the taxpayers in terms of the citizens. democrats didn't gra op privatize saying. they didn't agree on the war in iraq. did they sue the president. >> george bush didn't unilaterally change the social security policy. he went through the process, trying to bring the leaders scpooght. has president barack obama tried that. >> has he tried to reach out to republicans. >> no. dominic, no. dominic, no. when he grew up. when jonathan at his age grew up, we had the president of united states. you know, photos. legislative leaders. they never get together.

in the middle of a crisis. this were the could be by himself and i want to move op o to another subject. this got a lot of attention and hurt a lot of people. let's see if we can play? >> i could have killed him. i would have destroyed a little town called canna har and killed 300 innocent women and children. i would have been no better than him. so i didn't do it. >> of course, he's talking about osama bin laden. those comments before 9/11. how damaging is this going to be for democrats, do you think? >> it's a good question. i don't see it as damaging because mr clinton - the it the's decision was vipped kated. all the women and children would

have been killed. >> do you worry about the impression, that president clinton was not aggressive enough. >> i think the american voter is smart enough to cess the situation. do you worry it may bleed over. >> at loft of people knew that bill clinton had a number of opportunities when he could have gotten osama bin laden. frankly. i'm not sure why he made the comments prior to inch. what were the purposes. they are irrelevant. accept for the fact i raise as an issue that democrats went afterbush. he had a chance, otherwise it's irrelevant. >> thank you both for your time today. great conversation. >> good seeing you.

>> a quick look at the forecast with nicole mitchell. >> good morning. we want to look at the tropical forecast. tropic tropical storm bertha, and north or off the coast of florida. there's wind shear. it's losing steam. it keeps of storm from developing into the as moss fear. which sw what yes need to do. it is going to condition to develop in the next couple of days. it passed through porto rico. it's under a drought. it's ben initial. thousands -- den initial, thousnd -- beneficial. thousands without power as it passes through the islands.

this is to the north of the dominican republic. dealing with that in places look the bahamas. don't want people to count this out. it turns up the wave and the rib current. all the rain over the coastline is stealing it away. the rain - it's keeping the tropicalcm system away. today marks 100 years since general germany declared war in world cup. to this day unexploded shells litter the french country side. shells are collected, destroyed. a reminder of the war further a century ago. it's a war that many are forgetting. >> reporter: it's a war that

shaped the 20th century. many of the visitors to this section in the german capital admit until now they knew little about the detail and meaning. overshadowed by the second world war, germans shudder at memories of their imperial past, with its exuberant mill taryism. this takes a broad european and global perspective. >> translation: various countries were dragged into it, each outside of europe. we emphasise the escall ailings of violence. this escalation reached a level never seep before. isn't -- seen before. it was not only the soldiers, but the civilians back home. >> while the german government marks the 100th anniversary in a low-key way, german chancellor angela merkel acknowledged the historical significance is accentuated by tensions with russia over ukraine.

conflict about as far as of influence are not a thing of the past. there's no better way to gauge a lack of interest. in a modest cemetery tucked away in a berlin suburb. much of the sement etry is laid out in an ornamental garden. it's a low-key commemoration. >> some observers believe that the n versery will reawaken aware reasons of the wall. >> it's like you identify a chapter in the family history which you have not been aware of. germans are starting to work on this, and finding their way to deal with it. this may be the beginning. >> as ber binners enjoy the supper sun shine, the event a

century ago seem as distant as ever. perhaps for some, the anniversary helped to put history into sharper perspective. he may have knocked out his then fiancee. the baltimore rave inns rice got a lighter punishment than players smoking pipe. his wife defended him. we talk to a clinical psychologist about why women stay in an abusive relationship. we have an interactive look at the life work of the spitzer space telescope. @j

real understanding... >> where you scared when you hear the bombs? >> al jazeera america real... news... . >> what is going on? caughts on camera. a police officer saving the life

of a driver who nearly died during a traffic stop. scotty falconer was pulled over for speeding in maine. he pulled over to the side of the road. he suffered a heart attack. his wife there was screaming out for help. the officer jumped into action, performing c.p.r. . >> all i can tell you is i took my licence out of my wallet. after that i know nothing. >> it's difficult some time to quantify the difference we make every once in a while something like this happens, and it feels good. >> every officer is trained to give c.p.r. and work a defibrillator. only two are trained and licensed. and fortunate lay that was one of them. welcome back to al jazeera america, i'm jonathan betz. the n.f.l. punishment of ray rice has made headlines.

hays 2-game -- his 2-game suspension has been deemed not enough. >> i want to apologise to any woman involved in any domestic, or anyone involved in violence, my apologies come out to you. >> it stems from this incident where rice was caught dragging his unconscious then fiancee out of an atlantic city elevator. the husband and wife held a conference where she apologised. >> i deeply regret the role i played in the incident. i'm happy that we work through it together. >> besides the punishment from the n.f.l. it is raising issues of abusive relationships. joining us is a doctor. i want to get your thoughts on her apology. >> yes. >> what do you make of that? >> there's a couple of things that could be happening. in most intimate partner matters

the biggest motion is fear and shame. people want to keep the relationship because they don't know anything else, it makes a woman vulnerable to taking the blame upon herself pore something she didn't perpetrate. >> she says her role in what happened. what do you read in there? at the end of the day many times a woman say "i yelled at him," i wasn't supportive. over judging their behaviour in thight of the fact that at the end of the day they got hit, they were beaten up and will do anything they can to rationalize his behaviour because they are afraid and want to keep the relationship together, because they don't know anything else. >> when you see her speak in front of the cameras, do you worry about the message that sends to other women. im i worry. couples like this are high profile. women who are more vulnerable look at her saying she's staying

in, i should stay in, if she puts up with it, i should put up with it. >> help us to understand the dynamics of an abuse of relationship. a lot of people say "she should leave that mab, i'd never let someone lay a hand on me. it's not that simple. >> most people do not beat someone up on the first date. it grows and tends to be slow and controlling and is about power. at the time we may become aware of the incidents. there could have been others before that. it's the sat culture. the issues of fear, shame, isolation. all contribute to a woman not being able to feel - she's terrifies, and a woman who may have the ability and resources most don't have that. it's not easy to leave. the relationships are in place because the women have issues of

trauma. not foeing anything, not leaving there are options. >> in the cases you see. does the violence come at wouns or does it start small with pushes. maybe a jab here and there. how does it start. the violence builds up, and can start with criticism, control. emotional abuse. >> someone will not beat someone um. it's the culture of the relationship. it becomes a shove. by then the wom wherein is in the -- woman is in the relationship. feeling as though she can make excuses. it doesn't tend to come. it tends to be a slow burn. >> how do you recognise whether you are in a violent are abusive relationship when they are not hitting you. how do you know whether it's actual abuse or whether you have a mean person or someone with an off day. >> again, an off day is not a

reason to scream. look for the pat respects, is he yelling at you. someone na is agitated in the car and gets angry and makes accusations of violence towards other people. it's not isolated to that person. they are hotheads. looking for that blf, and one of the key issues is criticism, undermining, putting the woman down and slowly but surely isolating her from sources of support. if she has nowhere to go it's more difficult. itched and it becomes more difficult. >> because they are a lot more loose. we forget that. we think women have resources. they are more stuck than anybody else, they are trying to keep a facade together. it's a huge responsibility. he's apologising. i have to get up and apologise. >> thank you for having me. >> n.a.s.a. wants to let you explore space from the comfort of your computer. wanting to launch a worldwide

telescope clicking and dragging the courser. it's cool. compiling 2.5 million from the observatories program. a part of the praik was the spitzer space telescope. >> between 1990 and 2003, n.a.s.a. launched four satellites. >> they made up the agencies great observatory. and each saw things differently. the hubble telescope was namous. comp tonne saw high energy camera greys. and now n.a.s.a. gave the youngest of the four satellites four years. >> the spitzer space telescope is an infrared camera, detecting objects our eyes cannot see. it has taken 2.5 million photos over the course of 10 million. here at caltex they stitched the

photos together in one incredible panorama. >> what does the galaxy look like. you'd think it would be simply because we are in the middle of it. that makes it hard. it's like being dropped in the center square of a city and told "i want you to draw a street map." that makes the spitzer so useful, and why we are lucky that robert and his colleagues peaced together the 10-year panorama. 2.5 million photographs stitched into one big view. allowing them to zoom in far. to see all the way out past the dust that blocks the normal vision and look through infrared, threw the dust out at stars, all the way out of the edge of the galaxy. seeing it all in infrared. we are seeing stars. 100 times larger than the sun.

it's known as ada kx orina. it's a massive star. and it may be the next major star to go super nova. everything you see around the tortured shapes and pillars of regions that delight from the star, that they have sculpted into the surrounding clouds. >> it's so powerful and bright. >> the ability to navigate the stars is invaluable. it's mined blowing. here is an example. the next closer star to us, alpha senn toury, one of millions. it's 4.3. they don't take up a single pic tell. the book break. that is 8,000 light years away. >> have i lost you here. don't worry about it.

all of that causes my brain to collapse in. >> it's true of so much of nation. it looks like cheesy art, something we can put on a van. it's beautiful. what an amazing thing, but it exist. n.a.s.a. was forced to cut funding for the spitzer telescope. it will be funded through 2016. one last look at the weather with nich , how does -- nicole mitchell, how does it look out west? >> we are not getting the rain where we need it, we are getting it where we've had too much. central north, fire incidents into the south-west. and the monsoon flow. more the flash flooding concerns for this part of the country. moist along the east coast today

and tomorrow. rain on the east and out west. that's it for this edition of al jazeera america. i'm jonathan betz in new york. thank you for watching. a live look at gaza where the battle between israel and hamas continues. the latest noose in doha in two minutes.
