>> this is al jazeera america. live from new york city, i'm david schuster. in northern iraq, islamic militia are threatening to slaughter ethnic minorities. the obama administration has reportedly ordered the american military to drop in humanitarian supplies. israel and hamas is unable to come to terms on how to keep they're ceasefire going on the last day of the truce.

civilians are nervous. and in detroit, a man who shot a teenager showing up drunk on his porch has now been convicted of murder. a humanitarian crisis continues to unfold this hour in northwestern iraq. in the midst of a new sunni rebel offensive in the region. islamic state fighters have punctured through kurdish defenses. there are reports of mass executions and tens of thousands of ethnic minorities are vulnerable. taken refuge on a mountain near sinjar trapped without food and water. the united states has reportedly agreed to launch a mission to help people there. a government source tells us that there will be an effort to provide humanitarian aid. the obama administration is also

considering a military component to pave the way, a way to curb islamic state military advances. lisa stark is live in washington. lisa tell us more about what the white house is trying to do. >> reporter: david there was a national security meeting at the white house, and all day at the time state department, as the white house tries to figure out what it should do given this unfolding crisis in iraq. as you said, a government source tells al jazeera that the united states will launch humanitarian relief for those stuck on the mountain side with very little food or water. air strikes, under consideration. josh ernest would not confirm that but did confirm that any military action would be very elemented in scope. >> we evaluate to these circumstances on a case-by-case basis. each of those have their own potential consequence is and

unique set of complications. we have been very clear about the -- how disturbing we find this dire humanitarian situation that's exists in iraq right now. >> reporter: now, ernest did say there would be no boots on the ground, no combat troops and there is no american military solution to what's going on in iraq. the white house has long said what's going to take is a unity government, all parties to come together to solve the crisis in iraq. u.s. has 750 troops in the country to help rakes, help the kurds, also to guard the u.s. embassy. some of those troops are not too far away from the area controlled by the islamic state. it is a possibility that there could be air strikes. some reports there have been already u.s. air strikes but the pentagon is categorically

denying that. >> i wonder if that's part of the confusion that there have been efforts to drop in supplies to that mountain in sin. is the pentagon saying anything about that? >> well what the pen pentagon hs not denied is the humanitarian relief. the planes probably coming from the u.s. base in toir turkey and would be accompanied by jets which drops pallets of water and medicine. they could do the humanitarian relief without the air strikes. they could do both. we're going to have to wait and see, david. >> lisa stark reporting from washington. as we get new reporting from this story and lisa gets more information we'll update all of you on what the obama administration may do in northern iraq.

now to the crisis in ukraine. the ukrainian government is ending a ceasefire with russian separatists at the crash site of the malasian air a littler, after the u.n. suspended recovery mission due to fighting in the region. the risk to investigators was too great to remain working. over ukraine russia is hitting back. russia's president says his government has a ban now of imported foods from the united states and the european union. rory challenge has more from moscow. >> french cheeses, italian olive oils, spanish hams, russians have gotten used to eating the same as their are western neighbors. athat's about to stop. >> a ban on beak pork and

vegetables. the united states of america, australia, canada, european countries and norway. >> the produce glistens eninvite ily. >> what problem are you going ohave after the import ban? >> translator: these oysters are from france, cheese is from france, lobsters are from canada. >> reporter: so as tatiana is explaining, life will become difficult for her because pretty much 50% of what she's selling here is going to be restricted. the middle classes are wailing on social media about the return of soviet era of bare shelves and devoid of parmesan. >> it will primary affect the poorest people who are buying the cheapest imported goods. if the government does not find

alternatives, then prices on meat and vegetables will surge. >> reporter: russia's intent is to hurt europe, united states and their allies though and the eu's ambassador acknowledges there will be pain. >> it is significant, that's why we're serious, about 10% of entire eu exports to the russian market and that's why we're going to take the measures seriously. >> reporter: the embargo has been introduced for a year but pretty much everyone hopes it will not last as long as that. rory challenge, al jazeera, moscow. negligible impact on the u.s. economy since the total amount of goods that the united states sells to russia is about $1.5 billion. now to the ongoing tensions between hamas and israel. at the moment the conflict is

playing out diplomatically in cairo and not militarily in gaza. egyptian mediators are trying to extend the 72-hour ceasefire that took effect on tuesday. israel says it is ready to extend the truce pass the deadline which is now less than seven hours away. hamas says the current terms of unacceptable. while the talks continue, war weary civilians in gaza and israel are getting very nervous. al jazeera's jane ferguson joins us. jane does it seem seem lik likee ceasefire is going to be extended in terms of what people are thinking there? >> reporter: right now we are not hearing of any major break through of those talks in cairo. both sides sticking to their guns. hamas has come out of their military side, their military wing, the kasaam brigade, their

terms are the lifting ever blockade that was put on gaza. severely limits people and goods in and out of the gaza strip. they want that lifted. there's also been a suggestion floated by the european union that a sea port could be developed as part of the lifting of that blockade but the israelis want to make sure that whatever limitations they have imposed from hamas in terms of military operations in terms of rockets they don't want them to be able to basically restock any rocket stock piles in gaza. they want to limit the amount of movement of goods in and out so that is likely to be what is debated late into the night here but as you've said less than eight hours until basically that ceasefire runs out. both sides have said that they are willing to go back to

fighting the kasam brigades say they are willing to strike the main airport. no sign of a break through just yet. >> but it sounds like jane hamas will be the first to break the ceasefire because if they are the ones who are rejecting the current truce israel's accepting it and they still have some rockets left they could fire those rockets and then provoke an israeli response. >> reporter: well, technically that could of course happen. whenever these ceasefires have happened and been ended they've been broken by both sides. both sides have accused one another of being the first one to break a ceasefire. either way if this ceasefire were to be broken it would be a test how many rockets do hamas left. what capability have they after being bombarded for just around a month themselves. essentially whoever starts this

won't necessarily be ending it. it is not clear how the conflict will continue. of course israel have pulled out their ground troops from gaza. if hostilities were to room, it is unlikely that israel will move troops back in. heavy bombardment and rocket fire, in and out, as of now the ceasefire is holding but as of 8:00 a.m. friday morning that might not be the case. it is not clear who will fire first but if one fires first they will of course have return fire. >> al jazeera's jane ferguson, thank you for the update. heavy toll on gaza, the gaza health ministry says 1900 people were killed, the united nations says three quarters were civilians, rest were hamas fighters. 390,000 of residents of gaza are staying at u.n. facilities.

repairing gaza's broken infrastructure could cost at least $3 billion. the conflict in gaza has had a very deep impact on children. the united nations estimates that at least 373,000 children need some kind of psychological or are physical help. nick schifrin reports. >> for shamala nothing makes her happier than her children. the oldest is six-year-old miriam and that little guy in orange is the youngest, two-year-old hasam, he's a bit of a ham for the camera. like any kids anymore. they were born in germany. she decided to move them back into the neighborhood she was born. but she couldn't anticipate the kind of choices she would be required to make.

>> they said they gave us five minutes so we just run away. >> reporter: on the one hand they feel lucky their house is intact. their children haven't been injured but the war is change them. >> she used to talk about photos and pictures and then, in two days, i found she talk about f-16, oh my god, that's what's horrible. >> reporter: the war is inescapable and the trauma almost inevitable. how worry are you about the long term trauma? >> because i don't forget, i don't think that my children will forget. i try to look strong. i try to because what i do believe that as long as you still are strong your children will be fine. >> reporter: but the problem is: being strong is impossible. every night she makes the awful shattering choice to separate them. she thinks if an israeli missile

struck one room she wouldn't lose them all. >> shooting or fired missiles for our neighborhoods like this, this place going to be destroyed but this place going to be saved. so at least miriam will be fine, rami may be not. what i did was to protect my children so i feel like -- and i don't think that mothers in the world thinking in this way. i don't think so. they think, how, what they going to -- wear them what they going to need them what they going to let them play, how they should ask them to do this or not this. but they don't ask that they should sleep in there and sleep in that and sleep here and in that bed, no, i don't think that-i feel like i am a little bit crazy. and they say no i'm not, they are crazy when they target children they are crazy not i

am. y hey why you let me sleep here whether you sleep there? how should i convince her what i did was for her? shall i tell you i'm afraid that she die and i put her here that if they die at least i keep rami for me or if rami die at least she stay with me? how could, can you imagine i tell a child six years old how this is? i tell her no, i slept here and then i found myself there. look i lie, i lie, i lie, what should i answer? >> reporter: there is no answer to that question. only a plea. >> our children are like any children in the world. they don't deserve what happened to them. >> reporter: 1st mother's nightly choice. in gaza there are hundreds of thousands of mothers. >> and that back nick schifrin reporting. u.s. secretary of state john kerry made a previously unannounced visit to afghanistan today. he met with both presidential

candidates today in hopes of speeding up an election recount. the feuding candidates have threatened to create rival governments. last month secretary kerry thought he had brokered a deal for a full election recount. comes after u.s. forces suffer their highest ranking military loss. green's body landed at the dover air force base. an afghan soldier shot and killed the two star general on tuesday in kabul. a man who shot and killed a drunk teenager on his porch was found guilty of murder. bisi onile-ere give us the latest. >> david, the parents of renisha

mcbryde spoke out that the justice was served. they found wafer guilty of second degree murder, guilty of felony with a firearm. the victim's mother monica mcbryde shed tears. wafer who is white shot 19-year-old renisha mcbryde who is black on the front porch of his home last november. the defense was argue that he was acting in self-defense, that he was fighting for his life. however, the prosecution said wafer should have called 911. mcbryde's mother spoke out saying she was relieved. take a listen. >> b, he had nine months. he wawksd aroun walked around, e

suffered. she could have been in jail and she would have been here. he made a statement if ems would have came. no, if you would have called 911 we would never have been here. >> reporter: so the family now saying they feel they have closure. they strongly believe race did not play a factor in this shooting. they didn't believe that renisha mcbryde was targeted. they feel what happened to their daughter could have happened to anyone. back to you. >> bisi does wafer's defense team plan to appeal? >> reporter: well it was interesting. right after the verdict was read wafer was taken into custody and his attorney had no comment at all. so right now david it's unclear on whether they have plans to appeal. but as i mentioned, wafer he is in jail now. he'll await his sentencing that comes in a couple of weeks and again he is facing life behind bars. >> bisi onile-ere, covering an

amazing trial in detroit. bisi thanks for update. >> coming up. the ncaa will allow five conferences with more autonomy, big deal. hawaii is not a paradise today, an earthquake rocked the island earlier and hurricane is getting stronger not weaker and that hurricane is one of two on a direct path towards the island.

>> critics of the ncaa have long said that college sports governing bodies allow colleges and administrators to get rich while ruling with an iron fist. michael eaves joins us. michael. >> this represents a huge shift, ncaa has fought hard to limit those who participate in sports under amateurism. only allowed to receive tuition

and fees, room and board and any required course-related books. but for those of you who have attended college or sent a child to one, you know there are certain other costs involved to sending a child for education. benefits for student athletes to also include the full cost of attendance. that sum could be anywhere from $2,000 to maybe $5,000 depending on the school. the new measures also allow for athletes to receive better medical coverage and more opportunities to purchase disability insurance with assistance from the schools themselves. an example of something similar is jamison winston who required insurance with the premiums to be paid by his family. in this model agents could take part in those premiums. in this model the autonomy model could apply only to the big

five, the acc, big ten big 12, and sec. however this is open to all division 1 schools. the other colleges would decide whether to implement these measures across the board or leave it up to individual schools and david the earliest these measures could go into effect is next january. college football athletes will not see this until the fall. >> couldn't this intensify arms race in terms of the recruiting between the conferences? if the big 10 comes up with uniform rules those schools can hover, versus sec you can have competition for benefits of this new plan. >> that's right, for example your alma mater is offering a $5,000 stipend and my alma mater is offering a $3,000 stipend. that could add up in your decision making and that is some concern but for student athletes

who have been restricted for so long in terms of getting extra benefits especially as it relates to going to college, some are critical of it and they didn't say the exact same argument you just raised. >> and the question of whether this should apply, to all schools, if not, athletes. >> men's football and basketball they're revenue generating sports. this could relate to swimmers, gymnastics and golf. but for those individuals who could go on and win olympic medals to give the school prestige, one school versus another. >> michael appreciate it. researchers have found a link between vitamin d and developing alzheimer's later in life. more likely to develop the disease. researchers found that people who did not have enough vitamin d had a 53% higher risk of some form of dementia.

alzheimer's is if leading form of dementia affecting 5 million people in the united states. very strong earthquake rattled the hawaiian islands, no report of damage from the 4.5 quake. as people are bracing for hurricane iselle and hur kane julio. stores running out of items. long lines at gas stations and tourists are leaving the islands before the storm hits. kevin corriveau is here for an update. >> about eight hours before the first storm hits. 5:00 p.m. our time. here is where we're talking about iselle. lest talk about iselle, that is the one about to make landfall. right now the latest track is come out and it's expected to go straight across the main island of hawaii.

it will be a tropical storm right over landfall, that may distress the amount of wind but not rainfall. five to eight inches of rain falling across the island of hawaii, 12 inches isolated so that means flash flooding is going to be a major problem. so this is what we expect to see at 8:00 p.m. hawaiian standard time, landfall. then julio sunday will be making a track just to the north of what we think now. we'll be watching this very carefully. storm surge will be a problem and this will be on the northeastern side of the islands, because of the way the winds are moving and also we expect to see surf anywhere between 10 to 15 feet so that's going to be a major problem on this area. we'll keep you up to date in the storm over the next 12 hours. back to you. >> kevin, thank you. negotiations between israelis and hamas to extend a three day ceasefire in gaza are down to

the wire in exierp neithe cairo. neither side is budging on their demands. these estimates are starting to take shape "real money"'s ali velshi, estimates of 3 to 4 billion? >> i heard estimates of 6 billion. let's stay with the sticking points, the palestinians want the end to the air land and sea blockade. but the palestinian are resolution is met with silence from israel. rehabilitate gaza under international exprftion say it's allowing civilian shipping into gaza's port which is also badly damaged but route it through an inspection facilities in sy

cypress. the proposal is in its early stages. in the meantime damage is substantial. initial reconstruction estimates from the palestinian authority are running as i said some estimates at about $6 billion, david the number of people displaced by the fighting, 520,000 so far and electricity is being rationed because that power plant has been bombed. so lots of work on rebuilding gaza. >> ali velshi will have much on that at are 7:00. ali, are appreciation as always. islamic state fighters in northern iraq coming up, the latest efforts to send in humanitarian aid and how the u.s. military could be involved.

>> returning to our top story, the united states is considering a variety of ways to try and stop the advance of sunni rebels in northern iraq and also help ease the humanitarian crisis there. a u.s. government source tells us that -- tells al jazeera that united states will launch a humanitarian mission to help tens of thousands of people who have been forced to flee fighters from the group known as the islamic state. the united states is also said to be considering a military component to pave the way for that aid, and possibly, to try and help curb the rebels' advance. lisa stark is live in washington, d.c. and lisa any sort of new information, clarification of what the united states is up to and these conflicting reports about whether the aid missions have already started or are about to start? >> reporter: well, david there are a lot of conflicting reports. the white house tells us the situation remains very fluid at this time. we do understand from multiple

sources that quote humanitarian aid is inevitable, the question is whether those flights have started, some sayings the planes are in the air. we don't have confirmation that the humanitarian drops have begun, that medicine food and water dropped to the folks you're talking about that are really trapped in the mountains there surrounded by the islamic state fighters and without much food and water in the hot mountains of iraq. now also on the table we're told are possible military air strikes. we do not know at this point whether a decision has been made to launch those strikes. the pentagon says no strikes have been made and it is not even clear if the u.s. will proceed with military strikes. if they do proceed with them they will be very limited in scope according to white house spokesman josh ernest. these have been unfolding during the night, the national security

team at the state department, the u.s. very, very concerned about the deteriorating situation in iraq and particularly this humanitarian crisis. so we would expect as evening goes on we will learn more information. david. >> lisa how concerned is the white house about some of these reports coming from the kurdish representatives that there are massacres or summary executions of the ethnic minorities that are trapped? >> what is going on is barbaric those are his words and disgusting. the u.n. has i believe passed a resolution, condemning what is going on in iraq. that is why the u.s. feels so strongly that it needs to act, that it needs to take some action. >> lisa stark, reporting from washington, lisa thank you very much. the white house has just tweeted a picture with president obama meeting with his national

security team today in the situation room to discuss what is going on in northern iraq and what the possible u.s. options are in terms of both stopping the islamic state fighters and also providing some relief to these ethnic minorities who according to some reports are being slaughtered. christopher hill dean of international studies. ambassador hill are you surprised that islamic fighters have made such progress against kurdish in iraq? >> i am surprised. peshmerga is highly trained and motivated so it's unclear at this point whether there were kind of strategic retreats on the part of kurdish forces or whether they were somehow defeated but clearly we have a very dangerous situation, it is highly appropriate that our president and his team are huddled together to look at options. options are always tough in the middle of these things but

clearly something needs to be done. >> you heard lisa stark reporting that the white house declared the humanitarian situation is barbaric, maybe the wrong way to describe it because there are reports of nearly 1500 ethnic minorities were executed yesterday alone. i wonder if you can talk a little bit to sort of the religious tensions, the religious component of this in terms of the islamic state or their age are or attacks possibly on these minority groups. >> well the islamic state they've made it clear that anyone who is not with them is slated for death. their targets of course are all shia but also certainly they would go after the kurds as well. so these are not exactly inclusive sort of people and it's really hard to see at this point what negotiating is process you can bring to bear on them. obviously we would like progress to be made in baghdad. we'd like progress on a new government. possibly a new government with a prime minister not named maliki.

but i think this situation up in northern iraq is kind of removed from that right now and i think it behooves a lot of us to see what we can do and act. >> is there a fear that if the united states does take military action against the islamic state we would be in essence be boosting iran which is supporting iraq's main government in baghdad? >> well, there's certainly always that concern but i don't think anyone thinks that helping the peshmerga of kurdistan is helping iran. so i think this is a real opportunity to move, after all there's a terrible humanitarian situation. wanton attacks on civilians and the action is really with the kurds, rather than with any groups affiliated with maliki. >> the obama administration said today that any intervention must be, quote, specific to a core american objective. what in your mind qualifies as a core objective here? >> well, i would call it

responsibility to protect. these people are truly defensive, you know they have no capacity really to defend themselves up in these hills and they're basically huddled up there waiting to be slaughtered, i think the responsibility to protect basic humanitarian laws argues for us to go in. >> is there much of a threat that islamic state would pose to u.s. aircraft and if not what's the argument against the united states going in and bombing to at least clear some sort of humanitarian path for the people who are troubled? >> i mean the problem with bombing is always to answer the question, and then what? would it be bombing in respect of helping the peshmerga gain gn ground, board of education then what? i think there's a lot of discussion, probably a lot of

discussion with peshmerga liaison and the iraqi army itself to see what air operations could be helpful in pushing back i.s.i.s. and releasing the pressure on these defenseless civilians they have been slaughtering. >> so many americans are tired of any u.s. involvement in iraq given the raws iraq war. in your sense would they tolerate something limited, applied to some humanitarian in iraq? >> look there are a lot of american people who never want to hear the word iraq again in their lives but the american people understand a situation that cries out for action. and i think this is one such situation. and i think the president could get support for any action that he deems necessary. >> former u.s. ambassador to iraq christopher lil. ambassador hill thanks for being with us. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> the head for the u.s. centers for disease control says containment is the key to

stopping the ebola virus. that a special congressional hearing today dr. tom freeman says the virus must be stopped within africa. that's the only way to prevent it from spreading across the world. unprecedented crisis. >> in the current trend within the next couple of weeks there will be more cases than in all cases of ebola put together. >> freeman pointed out those outbreaks were eventually brought under control and expressed hope that this would be soon brought under control. >> the dozier school for boys, maria ines ferre has word. maria. >> evidence of a boy buried at an unmarked grave 74 years ago. george owen disappeared from the doadozier school, accused of

recovery. he wants to go to church, do good for community. >> an amazing story. maria, thank you. >> an abortion scandal coming back to haunt a conservative family valleys candidate. and we'll talk about the tea party's poor showing in the run up to the mid term elections. and receipts from one particular restaurant are going viral. we will explain.

borderland only on al jazeera america >> in today's power politics 98 days until the november elections and in montana democrats are now looking for a new candidate for u.s. senate. senator john walsh announced to campaign staffers today he is leaving the race. this follows a report in the new york times that walsh plagiarized parts of his

today from state senator jim tracy and tracy's campaign is making sure voters remember dejarlais's behavior. >> no longer has credibility, reprimanded, fined for unethical conduct. he deliberately are misled the voters. scandal makes dejarlais ineffective in washington. >> thanks oa slew of senate campaigns, so far this year for negative ads, in parkinson's many democrats are hammering democratic senate candidate tom cotton for voting against children's hospital funding. >> tom cotton was the only congressman from arkansas who voted against them. i don't know where his priorities are, but not with arkansas children. mark udall is attacking cory

jazeera contributor ire michael shore. welcome. >> it's a thursday election, which i don't know that i remember a thursday election. these are primaries, these are ugly races and of course this is when the primary challenges happen. yes we're in kentucky, mitch mcconnell, a lot of money going into that race. the dejarlais race and the race to unseat lamar alexander. this is the last stand of the tea party in these elections not surprising at all they are putting a lot of money into those ugly ads. >> if the tea party loses, the tea party will have gone zero for every senate race this cycle. does that mean the tea party essentially dragged the republican party to the right? >> it means a lot david.

in fact we're not ready to give our party away, says the republicans, to the far right. we tried with christine o'donnell and richard murphy and the ill-fated candidate of todd aiken in missouri. their party are responding, let's put in the safe bet, lamar alexander considered now a moderate republican when swunt he was a conservative republican. i think it does matter in that sense. one interesting fact is saturday is primary day in hawaii. it turns out the only governor who is going to be unseated by a primary is on saturday in hawaii. >> one of the weirdest victory speeches on sunday, justin amasc arab american, often accused

united states national security agency, al qaeda's best friend, part of amash victory speech. >> to brian ellis you owe my family and this community an apology. [cheering and applause] >> for your disgusting despicable spear campaign. >> amash also took a shot at pete hokstra who tried to help ellis. listen to this. >> i want to say to lobbyist pique hokstra. you are disgraced. at times i asked we could hand you one more loss before you fade into total obscurity and irrelevance. >> michael have you ever seen anything like that? what was going in his mind?

>> i never have but there's something great about his honesty. we have all watched election night returns. i just got a call from briens ellis, he says no no no he fought a good race. we always know what they were thinking, they are thinking what justin amash just said. it's r rerefreshing but unique, you never see this. >> what's happening in oak harbor, a guy by the name of dave olinger is are running for sheriff, he's 87 years old, it is also a nudist. he's optimistic about his chances. his wife says, i think he watches too much of this jon

stewart. michael does this guy have a chance in the sheriff's race? >> i'm glad you're taking me from here up. you never know. in fact it's a really tight race, he's not going to win. mark brown is the guy he's running against. the son of a jewish wheat farmer in that part of washington. that gadfly has had his moment. he's seen his day. >> michael when i get that age make sure i don't take off my shirt. >> i promise david. >> michael, thank you. hacking into the system, how vulnerable it is.

>> a contractor that supplies background checks to the department of homeland security says it has suffered a

cyber-attack. employee information stored by u.s. investigations services could have been taken and that's according to the contractor who called it a state-sponsored attack. the u.s. government has now suspended work with the contractor. homeland security has more than 200,000 employees. the u.s. military says disruptive cyber attacks are the new normal. the pentagon has invested billions of dollars into securing american networks but many civilian systems we take for granted are vulnerable. to make that point, one man has just revealed how he hacked into satellite systems for commercial jets. jake ward, how wide is the threat we're talking about here? >> david we saw many frightening things come out of this conference in las vegas, called black hat.

this is called a bgan system, we use this in the television system to send are information by satellite. this is not that far from your average wireless router. it has an all in one reset password that you can find in the manual that allows you to basically start over and in santa marta's case, are injecting malicious software into the system and disrupt it. >> jake you mentioned last hour that if somebody is flying and they see some major, i don't know, joke or prank on their in-flight entertainment system that could also be somebody who's hacking in and that would actually be the best case scenario if they're able to get away with it. >> that's exactly right. he began to play around with commercial aviation systems, 35,000 flights a day the united states relies on every day. he could hand out free movies,
