their voices out there, and al jazeera america is doing just that. >> announcer: this is al jazeera. hello, welcome to the newshour, live from our headquarters here in doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes - [ explosion ] more casualties in gaza. both sides attack one another. the u.s. launches an air strike in northern iraq to stop the the latest news and hottest trends in celebrity from advancing. it's the last date for turkish candidates to make their

case ahead of an historic hole. reunited after more than 30 years apart. giving hope. the families of argentina's stolen babies. welcome to the programme. five palestinians have been killed in the gaza strip. the fighting between hamas and israeli is in its second day after both sides failed to extend a 72 hour ceasefire. hamas fired dozens of rockets at israel since the ceasefire expired friday. there's no reports of rockets causing damage or casualties. israel launched air strikes and artillery strikes on gaza, destroying buildings, including a mosque. talks to extend a ceasefire failed to reach a deal. since israel began its strikes,

64 israeli soldiers and a thai national were killed. 1,901 palestinians have been killed. united nations says 73% are civilians. add to that 10,000 palestinians injured, and more than 171,000 people living in un shelters. al jazeera's andrew simmonds joins me now from one of gaza's hospitals. hospitals have been under a great deal of strain, tell us what the situation is like at the moment, considering they have been running out of supplies. >> you are right about the level of strain. this is shifa hospital. this is the triage area where they assess the level of need. the green patients are treated here.

the amber come this way. i'll take you through to the moderate area. now you can describe this as moderately calm. it has been a place of intense pressure because the most urgent cases are taken past here and on to treatment areas further on. however, the doctors and the consultants will tell you that really the condition, the equipment they have here has not been adequate for the need because the needs have been absolutely colossal - the needs for surgery, supplies, blood supplies, the needs for all sorts of equipment, and specialist care, specialist care that they can't afford for patients here. many have to be shipped to egypt, if they can be. the bottom line is that it is a really, really big problem in trying to cope with the levels. >> as the hospitals are still

straining, you can hear the sound of weeping. it must be stressful and full of tension. for those wondering what is going on with talks in cairo and a comment coming out of jerusalem, they want peace and stability. >> you are right. i don't want to impose on people. i'm told it's okay to walk this way and show you some of the treatment that is going on. a child here getting very important treatment, and a little girl here also being treated. we have spoken to a lot of parents earlier about their feelings on the matter. it's one of despair. coming back to the main question there, the issue of the peace talks is so fraught because palestinians in gaza put every hope in their leadership to get a result in cairo. that's not been achievable. it has not necessarily meant

that hamas has been unpopular because there hasn't been a deal. anecdotally there seems to be more of a concern and support for hamas because of the level of loss imposed against civilians by the israelis in these attacks. now, when it comes to the rockets, they are still leaving here. this, of course, is disproportionate time and time again. the level of injury, the level of death is disproportional to what happened in israel. here, the atmosphere can be described as, on the medical side, the doctors have something of a break during the 3-day ceasefire. now it is back to crisis control. right now they are managing their levels of supplies, they are not great. they've had resupplies during the 3-day ceasefire. they are not happy with the situation, but are ready to carry on, willing to carry on in

the best way they can. there for the moment we'll leave it and follow events with you later. andrew simmonds there in one. gaza's largest hospitals. they'll follow events through the gaza strip as the day progresses. >> for more, let's go to a representative from the center for human rites. he joins me from gaza via skype. thank you very much for joining us. you are a group, and an organization that tries to verify where fizz isles are, if there are -- missiles are, if there are any, and where they are stored. you tried to document what is going on. tell us what you found. are missiles stored in u.n. schools and facilities and homes of people as israel keeps telling us? >> we are a human rights organization, so everything i'm going to speak is going to be around the lines of

international law and human rights, and, yes, we are a human rights organization, with a few officers in the gaza strip , a large team, including fieldworkers doing their best to monitor and verify cases, whether they are violations of international law during the hostilities as we did before. we don't don't pay our attention only to the fighting of rockets. there has been thousands of attacks on the gaza strip , so we are also being at the receiving end of these attacks. we are monitoring and assisting the attacks, and the implications on the civilian occupation as a civilian infrastructure. >> what have you found? what are your conclusions so far in the last four weeks? >> we know that rockets have been found in u.n. schools. the u.n. discovered that, not

us. we believe when they said that unwar when they said they found the rockets. we agreed that this is wrong, it shouldn't happen. however, we are concerned of the way this incident is being used. this does not mean that every unwar school inhabited or vacant is a target for attack as we have seen, least seven anwar schools that have been attacked so far. we can't accept the justification of this. we are, as individuals, aid workers, there's 10 of them around the gaza strip. as people who are families in gaza, we have seen and heard rockets fired from gaza. our observation is that the vast majority of these missiles, rockets, fired by the fighters

are fired from empty areas. and i personally believe that the palestinians resistant factions have established a solid infrastructure on the ground that is helping them to fire rockets from far away from homes. >> okay. let me bring in the argument that israel has, and that is that they have often on several occasion, such fire power is launched from within densely populated areas of the gaza strip. what evidence have you managed to find that supports that. >> we saw at least a couple of videos that support this argument. but this is two incidents out of thousands of cases of firing rockets. again, i don't think it is wise to use them as evidence that all

palestinian fire has been launched from among the civilian population. >> it's difficult for the international community, or those supporters of israel to watch in interview and say why should i believe you, because you are obviously a human rights group in gaza, and one would wonder what constraints or pressures you might be under. >> well, we have a history of criticising local authorities in gaza, palestinian armed groups. we have criticised them hardly when we saw evidence of international law being done, including fired from civilian operations. we asked the palestinian authority, the - and management, the administration of gaza, led by hamas to investigate alleged violations of international law as to what was found by the report. we have this reputation among

the community among the people whom we are serving here, that we are doing our best to establish the truce, and act upon it. the criteria we are using is limited to what is dictated by the rules. >> indeed. >> there are problems - yes, there are problems, but they are not as bad as they are portrayed, and again it underlies issues, claims ashed by israel -- issued by israel that are inaccurate. i have not seen rocket fire in the vicinity of my house with my children in it. and i saw and hear an experience dozens of israeli attacks around and near my house. this is the difference, i think. >> that, for the moment, we'll leave it. thank to you for giving us your insight into what is going on.

from the center of human rights in gaza. thank you for your time. you can get plenty more on the latest in gaza by logging on to the website, aljazeera.com, and pressing the gaza under fire icon. still to come here on the newshour - hundreds families pack up and leave the libyan capital to escape the fighting. in sport - what was to tiger woods at golf's major final of the season. to iraq, and the united states launched a second wave of air strikes against fighters belonging to the the latest news and hottest trends in celebrity in the north of the country, aerial drones and f 18 fighter jets attacked the positions around the kurdish capital. the white house says the priority is protecting the city and its civilians.

this u.s. military video shows a rebel artillery unit destroyed. the latest news and hottest trends in celebrity -- the islamic state fighters advanced near to offices of americans. thousands of people from iraq's minority yazidi community are dropped in the mountains, others are pushed into the autonomous regions. we have this report from erbil. almost overnight war has come to the kurdish region. many were between mosul and erb erbil. they were in tent cities there when mosul fell to islamic state of iraq and levant. this week it fell. another outpost of the islamic state. the kurdish flag replaced by the

group's own. abu ibrahim and his family left their home when it fell to the i.s.i.s. in june. >> translation: we heard they may storm the camp. it was in chaos. i packed up the family and left. >> reporter: heading left, this was the only roof over their heads they could find. the kurdish region took pride in being the safest prosperous part of iraq. apartments cost hundreds of thousands. in the last couple of day they have become the last refuge of those with nowhere else to go, and an indication of how quickly things can fall apart. for some iraqis it's been falling apart from a while. this man has been disabled since sunni gunmen sprayed his family home in mosul.

he has not received proper medical care. >> translation: we went to the hospital, the centre said i need to have my legs amputated. i said "how will i survive?", they said "we need to cut them off." >> the family is shia. they have moved three times in the last two years. >> translation: we came at three in the morning the day before yesterday, we heard air strikes, fighter jets were in the sky. >> for decades they lived peacefully together. no longer. this woman, a shia is six months pregnant and terrified of delivering her baby here, nee wants to go to another hear where she heard they may find a house. locals provide food. there's no shelter. there's no certainty that with a widening conflict they won't have to move again. the iraqi foreign minister says the u.s. strikes on targets

of thes islamic state group have been extremely effective. those strikes happened 40km from the kurdish capital erbil, and targeted artilleries, launchers, and convoys of the fighters. what they are trying to do, really, is eliminate the major threats to the kurdish capital, as well as lay the ground for peshmerga forces. the forces that haven't been able to hold the line against the islamic state fighters to come back in and retake territory. here in erbil things are calm, but some foreign governments are evacuating the citizens. the foreign minister condemned a move by the british government to bring its members of the consulate, the diplomatic mission, back to britain, he said there was no danger here, and in parliament today kurdish officials are trying to persuade other members of other

diplomatic missions that there's no need to leave. the u.s. has issued another travel warning for its citizens. it's not just the danger for foreigners, iraqis are in danger, many trying to leave the areas where they are trapped between fighters of the islamic state group and kurdish peshmerga forces. many are displaced, including those trying to get aid on the mountain. a tiny ancient minority has been trapped on the mountain for days. the u.s. is continuing airdrops of food and water. kurdish officials are trying to take small groups down off the mountain. thank you. a professor of political science and a fellow at the london school of economics middle east center, joining us from the london studio. thank you for your time.

part of the problem has been the fact that there's ongoing political vacuum in baghdad, and slowly but surely while presidential candidates are emerging, there's a mistaker in parliament, baghdad and iraq needs a prime minister. what sort of candidate is required, and who seems to be emerging as the front runner in your opinion? >> well, what is required does not match what is available now, because what is required is an efficient, effective prime minister who could take control of issues. but what is available is only the current prime minister, and the others are no better than the others. >> why is that. is that because they've been tainted because of a political stand, they are sectarian? >> it is - with the current

prime minister, his experience for the last eight years did not show that he was well positions to lead the country at this time of crisis. others tend to do with corruption, bad history of human rights and an eighty to control their own groups and being sectarian, similar to the prime minister. this is the situation in baghdad. >> it's a difficult position for the americans. they said they would never get involved in political affairs in iraq. events seem to overtake the situation in the counter crisis, with the islamic state, forcing their hand. does it create a problem in the coming months? >> well, the american position is cynical. in 2003 when nobody needed them, they accumulated forces and attacked occupied and destroyed

iraq. yet when they are needed now, they are saying that they are not in a position to give more assistance than air strikes. that will not change things on the ground. they could halt the advance of the i.s.i.s., but this is not the real issue. we are speaking about, because i.s.i.s. is stretched for around 620 miles, the border between arab, iraq, and iraqi kurdistan. this accumulation, this position of i.s.i.s. near erbil maybe could be a decoy. they could launch another major attack on kirkuk because they have the power and peshmerga have not settled very well in the area. >> you said the americans are cynical about all of this. they made public statements to say they are protecting erbil and american nationals in the area. we are looking at oil.

there are large reserves in that area that are claimed by the kurdish north and baghdad, and the control of that oil is highly important to the future of iraq. well, there's nothing is highly important for the future of iraq than iraq itself. it's not the area where oil is, but the whole iraq is threatened by i.s.i.l., and this matter should be taken really into serious consideration. to speak about the american president, american personnel protecting these people, this is not the issue, because the iraqis are the ones who are getting killed and nobody is protecting them. the americans have not protected the iraqis, the americans created the situation, pulled out and left the country to its own future without any assistance, real assistance. they did not create a real army or support a real effective government. corruption was going on for years and years and nobody took actions, and this is the

real issue. it's not protecting the american consulate or preventing american personnel from going into kurdistan. >> we'll see what happens in the coming weeks. i am sure the story will change. for the moment, thank you for joining us from london. now, thousands of people have been protesting in libya against the newly elected parliament. police were called in to disperse crowds in tripoli, after rivals attacked each other. armoured police vehicles closed off streets in the center of the city. as reported, many are trying to escape violence in tripoli, by heading along the coast to misrata. more on the one. hundreds trying to escape by coming to misrata. >> translation: one of the shells hit a street that is 100 metres from my house.

my d brother came from an area close to the airport, and another friend came and his family followed him. they spoke of tragedy. [ explosion ] . >> reporter: it's the militia said from misrata that are leading the fighting. they are trying to take over the airport. it's being defended by a militia. the fighting lasted a month, killing over 200. the capital is too dangerous for many. people from misrata organised shelters for fellow libyans. >> we received families and provide financial aid and free accommodation. we make contact with them to respond to their needs. >> holiday resorts have been turned into refugee camps for the families. from there they have watched as libya is edging closer to a civil war, with old allies who

fought together to bring down a dictator, fighting each other. the attacks in libya made foreign embassies close. more than 35 people decide after river banks burst in the indian states. that was following rain. floodwaters inundated villages, damaging homes and crops. 50,000 have moved to relief camps. in hawaii, an alert for a tropical storm as had been lifted as it pummelled the islands with strong winds and rain. >> it caused flooding, leaving 23,000 without electricity. thousands are sheltering in centers. hurricane hulio is also expected to track close to the islands on sunday. we'll stay with the weather and join richard.

it looks like it's stormy weather in the pacific. >> very much so. it's the fourth tropical storm or hurricane to hit hawaii. it's a unique set up that we have. as i run the sequence through, i'll explain what is going on. this is out here. you'll see it's an amor nows fare of cloud. it's given a huge amount of rain fall. normally you see about 25mm of rain fall in august. you'll see more than 10 times that in many locations. now our eyes turn to the next system. this is hurricane julio. the fact that we have three systems, julio, clearly defined is breaking up. we had tropical storm jen vooef, because it crossed the date line it goes to being a typhoon. it's not going to affect anywhere, nor the remnants of

jizel. looking at julio, that is fully phlegmed. sustained -- fledged hurricane. it takes it to the north of the islands. so wind and rain are not going to make issues. what we will find is it will have a lot of surf associated with the system as it runs to midway, which is uninhabited. storm system coming in, by the tim we get to friday, heavy rain. >> more to come on the al jazeera newshour. coming up... >> i'm here where crowds are gathering ahead of recep tayyip erdogan's final election rally. >> i'm phil lavelle at the edinburgh fringe festival, where we are a long way from russia where edward snowden is. why is he having such an impact here. find out shortly.

>> king james returns home and he has new plans for the new n.b.a. season.

welcome back to the al jazeera newshour. a recap of the top story - israel launches attacks on the gaza strip , killing four more palestinians. hamas fired rockets into israel. more than 1,900 palestinians have been killed. united states wages a fight

against the islamic state in northern iraq. aerial drones and f 18 fighter jets attacked positions held around the kurdish capital of erbil. thousands of people have protested against a new parliament in libya. now, turkey's presidential candidates are holding final election rallies ahead of a vote. it will be the first time the turkish people vote for a president. voters have three candidates to choose from. the front runner is the urgent prime minister recep tayyip erdogan. the 60-year-old is popular. he's held office since 2003, longer than any other elected leader in turkish history. recep tayyip erdogan says he wants to tell the largely ceremonial post of president into an assertive and powerful one. his main challenger is a

70-year-old. the joint candidate is seen as someone able to invite a polarized electorate. he is relatively unknown. then there's selahattin demirtas, a lawyer who represents the new generation of kurdish politicians. polls suggest that the 41-year-old selahattin demirtas is unlikely to ball president but could hold a key block of voters if there is a run off. we are live to the city there. it's recep tayyip erdogan's final campaign rally, and a positive atmosphere and support for the incumbent prime minister. >> indeed, it is. it's more of a celebration actually, even though the polls have not opened. the crowds are jub u lant. they gathered 2-3 hours before the prime minister is expected

to even come here. they have been waving the flag singing songs of praise and chanting his name despite the heat. i'll step out of the shot and allow us a taste of the atmosphere. recep tayyip erdogan has been in power the longest. his popularity has broken, and his criticism from the opposition. it's believed according to the exit polls that have come out that recep tayyip erdogan will win the election in the first round. people here are trying to shore up as much support as possible to ensure those predictions are a reality. >> you mentioned criticism of recep tayyip erdogan's canned dat tur. is that because of turkey's involvement in syria and iraq. could that affect the vote?

>> indeed. i mean, essentially the main crit tix that came about o -- criticism that came about is domestically. things to do with domesticisation. in the past few weeks there has been a lot of criticism level at the prime minister. particularly with 49 turkish citizens held hostage by the islamic state in iraq, and a lot of resentment increased by thumb tacks towards the increasing number of syrian refugees. the prime minister says these are marginal or fringe when it comes to the foreign policy. turkey is on the right track, and some of the flags are palestinian flags and others that are a real indication that the crowd of supporters believe that turkey enhanced its position on the global scene because of the foreign policy decisions that the prime

minister has taken. it's contentious issues. however, it seems that those issues, whilst they may edge at his popularity, they are not enough to topple him from power. >> we'll see how his policies affect the vote on underwith uncorrespondents on the ground, as we follow the turkish presidential vote. thank you for joining us. >> moving to south asia where ag's two presidential candidates agreed to set aside a dispute and work together. they signed a deal, holding talks with secretary general. we have more from kabul. >> reporter: a united front if a what is called a united government. the u.s. secretary of state john kerrioned the presidential hopefuls to announce a deal to pick a president. >> we work to implement what we

promised. what unites us is far greater than what divided us. >> reporter: the unity government includes a new post for the chief executive officer, to be appointed by whoever loses the presidency. the responsibilities of that office have not been defined. i hope that the atmosphere of campaigning is behind us, and a new face in the political life of people of afghanistan. >> they need a new face and a review of 8 million ballots has not gone smoothly. 10% of the 24,000 boxes have been looked at so far. there's a renewed commitment. both parties agreeing to the rules of the road. both parties have agreed to stay at it. both parties have agreed to live by the outcome. >> the two candidates hope a

replacement for outgoing president hamid karzai is named by the end of the month. that will be a tight deadline with ballots to be reviewed. and details of who will do what, to be worked out. both contenders agree the country needs a new agreement. to find a balance. nigeria's president goodluck jonathan declared a national emergency to contain the ebola outbreak. he has aimproved an $11 million blan. guinea, seerar, and liberia declared national emergencies. 961 died from the disease. two of them in nigeria. >> fighting in the central african republic killed thousands of people and split community along religious lines. it is a place in the west where muslims live. many would leave if they good.

>> reporter: they are clearing the ground in the hope that families that feared religious-based violence could return. it could be a while. parts of the central african republic is dangerous. the men are paid to do this. they need soldiers to protect them, and there's hatred between some christians and muslims. >> they needed protection. on both sides there are extreme elements. occasionally they are attached, but there has been regular patrols to make sure that no extreme elements will destroy the process. >> reporter: months of fighting between the christian balaka and seleka destroyed homes. this church is home to some displaced. there are about 2,000 living in the church compound. they are all christians, and they say they can't leave

because their homes have been destroyed and they don't feel safe. people need food, water, clothe, toilets and medicine. the church can't cope with the numbers. the priority is for people to go back to their homes and live in peace. small children born here, living in the tents, they are trying to kept. it's unacceptable. people should not have to live like this in bota. this is a town where there are a few muslims left. they say they are trapped in an area. >> translation: we can't leave. we'll all be killed. they'll attack us along the road and chop us into pieces. it happened before. >> reporter: what began as a political conflict became ethnic and religious. it helped to enforce an uneasy ceasefire. the mood suggests many people are not ready to forgive and forget. to america, and mexico where

rising inflation and poverty put basic food items out of reach. after taking office the country's president declared a national campaign to end hunger. as al jazeera's rachel leavin reports. she travels to a poor state to find out how the plan is going. >> reporter: it's a good day for julie and her family. she could afford to by rice, vegetables and beans. often they survive on torr teas. she earns $5 a week. she gets $10 from the government in assistance. like most people living in the remote villages, julio struggles to support her family. >> my kids are not well nourished because we lack meat and fish. meat is so expensive. >> is this one of the poorest

communities in the state. where chronic malnutrition and hunger are common. 70% live in extreme poverty, lacking necessities such as food, water and health care. >> the president promised to help families like julio, announcing what he called a national crusade against hunger. >> this is not just a priority for the government, but rather the most important thing we can do to improve a hunger in mexico. >> as a result the government claims that 3 million people are, in their words, eating better. >> it's the second poorest state in mexico, and a third of recipients of a programme live here. the government claims it is having success, some question how much. charities question where the government is getting the figure from.

it failed to produce evidence to back it up. critics say the initiative is not knew, but a continuation of past ones. and fewer people are enrolled. >> from the beginning the government insisted 7 million people suffer malnourishment and hunger. the real number is 22 million. how do we analyse and compare the results. government figures are suspicious. >> government representatives came to fist this woman and her family, promising to provide much-needed aid. she needs help to install a better irrigation system to farm her own vegetables. >> translation: they come making promises they never keep. they never do what they say they will. that skepticism will continue, as long as the government fails to show how it's improving lives of people like hooulia. now, in japan tens of

thousands of people are marking the 69th anniversary of the u.s. atomic bombing of nowa sacky. the u.s. ambassador to japan, caroline kennedy, were amouption those that attended -- amongst those that answereded a ceremony at the place where the bomb was dropped in 1945. 150,000 died, and some from radiation sickness. the united nations warned russia not to use humanitarian assistance as a pretext for sending troops to ukraine. the government pushed separatist rebels out of many areas. a major victory was in slovyansk. we have this report on how people are rebuilding their lives after weeks of fighting. >> they are learning to help those effected by the war. the fighting stopped, but the scars left by the battle run deep. more and more people need the help of counsellors like these

to cope. many. vic times are too yawning to understand why the world was turned upside down. >> translation: everyone is anxious and worried about the future. it's hard for people to deal with an unstable situation, and to find resources to cope. the systems are speech impediments, bed-wetting, anxiety and tear of sounds. >> around the city there are constant remaineders of what happened here. calm has been restored after weeks of turmoil. over a month ago, this was the scene of fighting. reconstruction work here started, but questions linger about how to rebuild lives and how to help those coming from further afield. not far from the city, a place renowned for peace and drankility. holiday homes turned into shelters for families like

tatianas. >> translation: every day we are worried about our relatives and we cry. we tried calling them. i'd like to return home ideally today. we have a terrible war waging there. >> reporter: tatiana and the four she's sharing this shelter with will have to stay put, as both sides try to get the upper hand in the conflict. bringing you news coming out of egypt. a court ruled on saturday to dissolve the political wing of the muslim brotherhood, that were banned as a political group in september. a court in cairo banned the muslim brotherhood from existing within egypt.

they dissolved the party and we'll bring you more on that and reaction as we get it here on al jazeera. it's been more than a year since edward snowden leaked details of the american spy programme that made the former contractor for the national security agency contractor a traitor. we have a report from the largest art festival, the edinburgh fringe. >> reporter: few heard of edward snowden. they know who he is now, his mass surveillance giving the government head aches, but gave writers inspiration. surveillance is in, people watching shows about people watching people. when it comes to big brother, the audience can't get enough. look at this light. inspired by the edward snowden's

revelations. it's like orwell 1984 in our 2014. >> what was seen as farr fetched and paranoid is the reality. we are being watched on skype, text message. i'm uncomfortable that people are watching me. i wanted to engage in that debate, and make a piece of theatre making people think about this "notoriously yours" comes to edinburgh all the way from australia - a tale of lies, sex and spies. theatre appears to be the way to spark the debate. >> it's interesting to a lot of theatre makers and artists generally, to live in this time when a huge avalanche of information can swirl around us, and it has strong political dimensions and strong personnel dimensions. performers are used to being

watched, the audiences too. but in a different way. they question the fringe, how long will they tolerate it for, and do they have a choice in the matter. still to come on the al jazeera newshour - contrasting lies on canvas. the south korean exhibition about homeless children in the north. and in sport, one of football's fear said strikers starts the new season.

some know, others suspect more probably have no idea. this situation i'm living through can help with the search, so we can heal the wounds open for so long. >> this woman is waiting. her only son and his 8-month pregnant wife were taken by the military in october 1976, and never seen again. she believes her daughter-in-law had a boy. >> they talked about a boy, marr teen. i searched for a blond boy with blue eyes, given that name 36 years ago. >> she was a founder of the group demanding to know what happened to 30,000 killed under military rule, and celebrated and hoped that she would celebrate with her own grandson

next. >> the gives us strength and hope. i feel martine is close, he's close. >> 114 recovered grandchildren. argentina is celebrating as it heels the wound from the dark past. 31 years after the military left office, it's battling for answers, searching for justice. some of the grandmothers died without finding their lost grandchildren. this woman is 88. her confidence boosted that she, too, will meet her lost grandson and find comfort from a tragic past. good to have a happy ending there. here is andy with the sport. >> thank you so much. rory mcilroy looks to be in major winning form at the halfway point at the u.s. pga championship. the northern irishmanway

one-shot lead going into saturday adds third round. he's at 9-understand, a shot clear of jason day. furyk won the last two, and the world number one aiming for a fourth major. he finished with this birdie with a round of 67. >> i scored well today. it wasn't - golf was not as pretty as yesterday, at times. neither was the weather, obviously. you know, played well for the most part. took advantage of some holes whenever we got a break in the weather, like this. yes, scored well. some ups and downs to keep the momentum going. happy with that, yes. >> plenty of other big names in contention. lee westwood didn't do too many favors on friday. dispipt the diversion into the waterers he's four shots behind mcilroy. look at this from ricky fowler.
