>> hello, welcome to the news hour in doha. it's good to have you here with us. iraq's new prime minister, and what it means for nouri al-maliki. >> during the cease-fire of gaza people pick through the republic of what is left of their home. ' bow la virus and knee jeer i can't confirms more cases.

and how donated breast milk is turning out to be a lifeline for premature babies in texas. >> iraq's prime minister nouri al-maliki is refuse to go resince but he's coming under intense pressure to step down. they say they will not remain silent of another man named to his post. to address that the iraqi parliament are broken along these lines. the prime minister comes from iraq's shia community which is currently nouri al-maliki.

but as we said, he has been replaced. >> there has been reaction coming in over the prime minister. can you tell us what you've been hearing? >> reporter: absolutely. and you're right. there is a lot of international reaction from countries who normally say they don't normally interview in iraqi politics. here they've had influence from the united states, which has welcomed the nomination of another prime minister. britain has also weighed in. but there is also a lot of internal reaction oh although iraqis are thrilled with the thought that this long and painful political deadlock might be over, as you mentioned, prime minister nouria nouri al-maliki

is not going quite yet. some say this was a kurdish-american conspiracy to top ohel him. >> speaking of which, how much international pressure has there been to remove him, and are these latest employmen political movements been the result that have? >> reporter: there has been quite a lot of pressure. the pressure has been he has not been able to effectively governor for quite some people. it's a divided country and a broken political process where key things are in jeopardy. the idea where the kurdish capitol could be in danger from islamic state group fighters has shocked people incredibly. so there is really a consensus that things have to change, that there has to be a prime minister that things have to move forward. but we're not quite there yet it

seems in terms of the political process. >> for the latest from erbil, thank you very much. now the advance of fighters from i.s. or islamic state group has left many without a home. i.s. has targeted many different groups but in particular the large numbers of the yazidi who have been stranded in the announce of sinjar. they've been able to cross into syria and cross into kurdish held areas in northern iraq. it has taken weeks for some to cross into iraq. some are in cars, but many are walking with little food and few medical supplies. refugee camps have been set up, but they face tough conditions and many have lost family members during the journey. >> i put two of my sons in the car that came to get us. then i went to grab the one i'm

hold ohing and get back in the car, but it had left already. that's why i had to walk here alone. i have three children. this one is with me, but i have lost the others. i haven't seen the other children and my husband since then. >> i came down from the mountain by foot. i walk from sinjar mountain to syria, walking. just we have the bottle of wat water. then no more. not only me, thousands of peoples. >> so why are yazidis ben targeted? they've been branded at devil worshipers by the islamic state who say they must convert or die. they're members of a pre-islamic sect. they live in northern iraq, turkey and syria.

the yazidis say they often have faced persecution in iraq over their religious followings. they believe god as creator of the world which has been placed under the care of seven angels. helping the yazidis to escape the sinjar mountain. >> it is unbelievable because they are really, really emergencies will they are in shock. a thousand people, they don't have a place. thousands of people. don't have enough food or medical. 90% don't have cars. 90% are children, women an old men.

as they come under control of the islamic community, i'm sure they try to kill all the people in the mountain and in the south. they don't let them leave the area because they don't think the yazidis have a right to plight. >> let's talk about the situation with the political situation in baghdad. we go to political analysts and director ofel political foundation. let's talk about nouri al-maliki's option ohs. his bloc said they were not going to go down without a fight. what are they most likely to do that would be effective? >> the problem that if we're going to talk about legal issues the president actually assigned haider al abadi.

this is first. now haider al abadi must form a cabinet in 30 days containing all the parties and blocks inside the parliament. thirdly, if he failed within 30 days, if he fails to form a cabinet, then the president must assign the second majority bloc inside the parliament. now, we have now a matter of issues about 30 days. now mr. maliki are depending now on these 30 days that he would push all these blocs, sunni, shia, curds, not to make a promise for haider al abadi that they would support him. this is all he can do. the interior court did manage to or allow him to be the biggest bloc that supposed to be the candidate for the president to

the prime minister. >> okay, so this now leads to the question what about the fighting with the islamic state group given that the elite forces are loyal to nouri al-maliki. >> yes, this is the main issue actually. just as i said before. this filthis is one of the major failures that mr. maliki's cabinet failed to do. now, the americans will be attacking airplanes and so on is only on the kurdish front. not on the iraqi army front, which is a message that even the americans are not support building maliki. they are not going to tal attack on the iraqi front when the new prime minister will be in charge, which means that they will not support maliki.

>> explain to us those political movement in baghdad, thank you very much for your analyst. a reminder that you can always get coverage of this iraq story on the website. we'll find that at www.aljazeera.com. you'll also find more analysis in a timeline on www.aljazeera.com. late in this news hour killed by airstrikes a new report of civilian deaths in afghanistan accuses the u.s. military of avoiding accountability. also ahead we'll tell you why attacks on aid workers in south sudan are awaiting fears for the future of the country. and errorry mcilroy the pga champion, all the details on his victory and all the rest of

the sports. >> israelis and palestinians are securing a longer term peace fire in gaza. a 72-hour cease-fire is hold ohing at the moment. it gives gazaens a chance to go back to see what is left of their homes and salvage whatever they can. we can now speak to nazrene in west jerusalem. let's begin with the cease-fire talks that are happening in cairo. what do you know about them, and are they progressing? 7. >> what we do know is that these talks are very secretive talks according to sources here in israel.

they actually have the full details of these talks. so we here very little from officials and from leaks in general from over here. what we could know is that the israeli delegation did arrive in cairo. did hold meetings with the egyptian officials. obviously these are indirect talks between the palestinians and israelis mediated by egypt. we do know at some point the israeli allegation is going to return to jerusalem to discuss the issues that they were able to cover with the egyptians today and con salt with prime minister netanyahu as well as with the defense prime minister. >> the israelis said very clearly they were not going to enter these talks as long as there is rocket fire from hamas. with you tell us what led to the recent talks and dialogue?

>> reporter: well, i think it's clear that the israelis will have to eventually reach a cease-fire because maintaining the current status quo is going to be very difficult and challenging. to continue to have an operation, a military operation in gaza to many officials it doesn't look like it's a feasible option. and in many cases even though on a public left the israelis don't say that they would immediately jump at an opportunity to accept the cease-fire, but we do know this is probably what is going to happen. the problem with this current conflict which makes it different from previous cars between gaza and israel is they defer opposite their central demands. we understand from sources that the israeli israelis are not offering a complete lifting of the siege. they still want to control what goes in and what comes out especially with the issue of

cement, which israelis say the palestinians use to build tunnels as well there are issues that the olympics are really not willing to compromise on they're saying they want a sea port, an airport. the israelis saying you can have both of those as long as hamas and other military factions are disarmed. this is a non-starter for groups like hamas, who are armed groups. at the same time this is a central demand for israel and a long-standing one into the future. it appears they're talking about really major final status issues in this cease-fire that they hope would hold for a while. >> nisreen with the latest on those truce talks taking place in cairo. thank you very much. now let me get your reminder of the human toll since israel started it's offensive on gaz

gaza a month ago. airstrikes and attacks have killed 64 soldiers three are civilians. 1940 pins killed and three-quarters were civilians and 149 were children. 10,000 palestinians have also been injured. now charles stratford is on the ground in gaza city for us. charles, as people take stock of the devastation in the cease-fire you had a chance to go talk to them, have a look around. what is the atmosphere like? what have they been saying? >> reporter: before we get to that, we just got news. we have more sad news from gaza. despite the cease-fire still people dying from their injuries. we heard from the ministry of health that two more bodies have been pulled out from the republic.

yes, i went out to an area, and this is what i found. >> tens of thousands of people used to live here. there were schools, shops, mosques, a gaza neighborhood struggling but surviving under israel's blockade. there were few places inhabitable now. she shows me her home. she and 39 members of her family used to live here. another cease-fire means another chance to salvage what she can. >> we came during the cease-fire to take out what we can from under the rubble. we hope to find a few of hour

things. god willing the region will become stable again so we can rebuild our lives. >> reporter: israeli tanks were kicking up clouds of dusk as they race towards the boulder. >> it's the first day of the 7 72-hour cease-fire. as we arrived, there was the sound of machine gunfire coming up from the right here. we hear there are tanks down there. and they were firing over people's head. people who have gone down to their farmlands close to the border. the nearby market was busy. shoppers buying as much produce as they can fared. after so many failed cease-fire there is a desperate hope that this latest truce will last. >> reporter: thank god for the cease-fire. we just hope that it will last. i'm here to buy some things for the children. my house is gone. my belongings are gone. i've lost everything.

>> reporter: the conditions at the local u.n. school is shocking. two ours of electricity a day. dependency on delivered drinking water, overflowing drains. the majority of the nearly 500 people seeking shelter here, many are still too afraid to return to see what remains of their homes. >> may house was smashed by an f-16. i'm scared about going back even though there is a cease-fire. i'm afraid they will hit it again. me and my family of 15 have nothing left. >> reporter: and in a quiet room in the back of a school children are given crayons an paper. the supervisor tells them to draw whatever they like. >> the children are the most vulnerable in this war. we're working with them to try to ease the pain of their psychological suffering. we let them draw so they can release and express their feelings. >> reporter: another truce,

another attempt to bring an end to this war. there is nothing that the people of gaza can do but to hope and pray that this cease-fire lasts. >> talking about returning to normalcy but the fact remains that the children will have to return to school or some will have to return to school. the summer holidays come it to an end, what will happen to them? >> reporter: well, that's it, the u.n. has released some figures, recently today. there are over 150 schools that were dammed in the course of this conflict so far, and a number of them beyond repair. they cannot be used as schools now. you look at that situation, and you look at the tens of thousands of people that are staying in these schools. they have nowhere else to go. they are homeless. their homes have been destroyed. a number of them as you heard in that report are actually afraid of going back any way to retrieve any belongings that exist where they live because of

airstrikes and still that distrust of the cease-fire. the conditions in these schools are appalling. we're hear from the administration of health that children in these schools are now suffering from skin diseases and you have very little electricity. tens of people sharing a room. the situation, it's a crisis point here. so it's one thing looking at the situation now, this term fear of the cease-fire. another cease-fire collapsing, these thousands of people in these schools. and then you look forward in a weeks time when these schools start and god willing there will be a lasting truce then. the people ask, what do we do? the situation, calm. are they happy? no. no airstrikes today although we can hear about it now. a lot of mistrust and fear here on the gaza strip.

>> a very grim situation for them. thank you too much. charles stratford in gaza for us. killing one palestinian and injuring six others, 23-year-old zacharia was wanted by israel and was shot to death. they won't say why. he was the third palestinian israel has killed in the west bank in four days. an aid group in turkey said it will send trips with relief supplies to gaza. this will challenge the blockade that israel has imposed on the strip. four wounded palestinians arrived for medical treatment. turkey has promised to evacuate thousands more from gaza. >> okay, let's go to egypt now. human rights watch have accused the egyptian government of trying to silence criticism. now that comes after two members of its staff were stopped from entering the country.

the group is planning to release a report on tuesday on the crackdown and protesters who were backing the brock. not one of those turned bac back, thank you very much for speaking to us. can you tell what's happened, and what proceeded during those 12 hours that you were detained? >> well, we had informed the government that we were coming to egypt to release the report that documents what happened. we had set up meetings with the government and sent them numerous questions, none of

which we received answers to. and so while we knew that it was a possibility that the government would turn us back, at no point did the government make that clear to us, and at no point did the government tell us tha why they were denying us entry. >> it is not the first time that human watchers were denied entering egypt. what at that point would prevent you from entering. >> the report is a very detailed factual investigation that i think provides the evidence definitively and conclusively that the mass killing of protesters and in five other incidents in august was a systemic and deliberate attack on protesters without any of the normal safeguards in place that might be put in place in order to disperse a protest for security oh or health reasons,

so forth. the report provides hundreds diagnostic almos hundreds--almost 200 pages of evidence of how they moved in as planned and firing on demonstrators within minutes of arriving to disperse the protests. >> and we document very carefully that this was very carefully planned by the government, and it was not arch accident. it wasn't security forces running amok, but that the violent dispersal of the demonstrations was something that the government planned systematically. >> so it points the finger at government actions say. the fact that they're not letting you in, what does that say to you about the direction this government is taking? >> it's one more signal of the attitude rand disposition of this government which is to have very little respect for

independent society. very little discussion for accountability and a lot of confidence that it can do whatever it wants without answering to anyone. certainly the not the international community. >> good to speak to you. thank you very much. let's not forget that al jazeera is demanding the release of its journalists who have been in prison for 226 days. mohamed fahmy, bader mohammed, and peter greste were falsely accused of helping the outlawed naugh muslim brotherhood. in june they were given seven year sentences, bader mohammed was given an extra three years because of a bullet casing he picked up at a protest.

turkey's presiden president erdogan won the presidential election. >> reporter: from this day on wards we'll have a new social understanding. we'll put forward not our witnesses but the common values that we share. >> journalist and former editor of turkey's oldest english language newspaper. >> the problem is we don't have a checks and balances system. the system is for the parliament try system with the president with limited powers and limited authority in governance, now if he has undisposible president who will not be held accountable

for his actions as president, but with full executive powers, then we'll have a monarchy, which is to me very different than the past, and ambiguous. >> amnesty international say n.a.t.o. forces are not being held to account for the thousands of civilian deaths and a war that spans over a decade. they say more than before. >> reporter: they came in and killed his wife, sister, niece and two brothers. >> we want justice. we demand a trial. they should be given the death penalty. they should explain to us why they killed innocent people.

>> reporter: there is one of 125 afghans detailed in a new amnesty report documenting 140 civilian deaths at the hand of international forces. he had said that the evidence of possible war crimes has been presented. >> there are few incentives for proper investigation and follow up with prosecution where it's warranted. >> reporter: amnesty said it knows of six case where is storms have been tried including the hive profile massacre where 16 afghanistans are believed to have been murdered by u.s. robert bale. he now serves life in prison. they say they take allegations of sale that this has taken

place. >> reporter: they say that they had attacked his province and said he was arrested and tortu tortured in the american-run bagram prison. >> our hands and feet were tied. every night we were beaten. there was not a day that we were not beaten. >> reporter: he said he still bears the scars. >> you're watching al jazeer al jazeera news hour. wmuch more to tell you about, including a massive unit in haiti as mass numbers of prisoners break out of jail. and in sports the hand of god strikes again. football back in the news.

we'll have the details.
