>> tech know, every saturday go where science meets humanity. >> this is some of the best driving i've every done, even though i can't see. >> tech know. >> we're here in the vortex. only on al jazeera america. >> this is al jazeera america live from new york city. i'm tony harris with a look at the day's top stories. a new truce israelis and palestinians have agreed to a five-day cease-fire in hopes of finding a solution to a lasting peace. now the white house deciding whether to rescue refugees trapped in a mountain. and protests growing in missouri over the shooting of an unarmed teenager. the police say their priority is now on race relations.

>> israeli and palestinian negotiators have five more days to hammer out a permanent cease-fire. the two sides agree to extend the truce talks in cairo. delegation said that progress is being made. >> in the coming weeks we hope to be able to reach a final agreement, and this agreement will have full acre, regional and international support. >> but there are obstacles to any long term deal. as the extension was being announced palestinians fighters fired rockets, and 30 minutes later israel fired back. nick schifrin, tell us about the latest strikes from both sides. >> yes, well tony, you laid it out perfectly. during that presence converse that we just heard from the head of the delegation we had four rockets fired from gaza into israel according to the israeli

army. three fired into empty fields and one intercepted by the iron dome. the israeli i specifically say where those strikes hit. before the war. after the announcement of the cease-fire does not mean that the cease-fire is over. it is the two sides almost communicating through their strikes and as of now as far as we can tell this cease-fire is still holding. >> okay, so there's been some progress obviously on these cease-fire talks have there been any specific agreements announced yet?

>> reporter: i think the positive aspect is just as we played. we're moving forward. we're trying to create a permanent cease-fire we have not heard that level of optimism before from either side and certainly not from a palestinian official walking right out of these marathon talks saying that we're working possibly. we have the longest cease-fire we've had since the beginning of the war, five days. we have both sides saying basically that they are trying to get to a permanent cease-fire and we have both sides demonstrating that they're interested in a permanent cease-fire by simply sitting down at these tables. these negotiations last, eight, nine, ten hours. they break for an our and then begin for another eight, nine, ten hours. both sides have not left the negotiating table. they're interested in finding a solution. it's easier said than done but the positive aspect is not necessarily in any of the details yet. the fact that they're trying to

get to some kind of permanent solution. >> what are the sticking points? >> reporter: well, they're mastiff, as you and i have been talking. one israeli official put it this way. the two sides quote are light years apart. let's look at the wish list if you will from both sides. israel wants gaza to be demilitarized. to give up the resistence. that's the word that hamas uses. that's not going to happen. hamas is not going to give up its rockets any time soon. on the other side hamas is asking for quite a bit. they're asking for the entire lifting of the israeli blockade. that means easing restrictions o on the border as well as fishing activity in the mediterranean sea, and they're insisting on a sea port right now. they're going to try to find the middle ground. we're not going to lift the siege but ease the siege. what does that mean?

we're not going to demilitarize gaza. we're not going to demilitarize hamas, but what can hamas prove that these item tunnels won't be built again. both sides are moving towards agreement and what u.s. officials, egyptian officials who are the intermediary, and hamas will try to get to where both sides can about back to their respective publics who are accidental. they say we got x, y and z. you and israel will say, we got x, y and z. that's the goal for monday nice. >> nick schifrin for news jerusalem. thank you. at least five people were killed today when an unexploded missile was set off in gaza. a journalist and his palestinian translator were among those killed. and engineers are also dead. all five were killed when the

police attempted to defuse the missile it is believed to have been dropped into gaza through israeli airstrike. the u.s. may send in ground troops to rescue the yazidis. thousands are stranded on a mount in northern iraq to escape the islamic fighters. dozens of u.s. troops are already in iraq to assess the humanitarian crisis. they've been doing reconnaissance to figure out the best paths out. mike viqueira has the details. >> reporter: tony, u.s. officials and president obama has said it time and time again there will be no combat troops. no boots on the ground in iraq. they will never be reinserted there. now after the announcement by secretary of defense chuck headachel, this time marines and special operations you want command dos are going to be going to kurdistan assess the military capabilities of the

armed group there among the kurds an. they will look at the possibility of a humanitarian corridor to try to evacuate that ethnic minority, the yazidis now besieged by islamic state group fighters. ben rhodes deputy national security adviser spoke to reporters from martha's vineyard where president remains on vacation. he left open the possibility that those troops could be inserted. and the significant point is that if they're there trying to evacuate or help the evacuation of the yazidis they could potentially come into live fire and in other words combat with the islamic state group forces. here is rhodes. >> you look at corridors, airlifts and different ways to move people who are in a very dangerous place to a safer position. that's exactly what our team is doing on the ground in iraq.

>> tony, the u.s. airstrikes continue. we learned from the bent gone that a drone attacked an armor truck driven by islamic state group forces. an important point is that the airstrikes and efforts of the allied forces in evacuating the yazidis from that mountaintop has had some effect. that brings into question whether or not allies will have to cooperate, and the british have said that they will cooperate with the united states if that humanitarian corridor has to be formed. >> mike viqueira reporting for us. thank you. the debate on what to do over the crisis in northern iraq comes as a power struggle. nouri al-maliki refuse to go hand over power to his appointed successor. we have more now from the northern city of erbil 2347 this was not the first demonstration of its kind in baghdad. hundreds of iraqis have been taking to the streets since parliament nominated a prime

minister to replace the incumbent nouri al-maliki. he may still have some supporters but maliki has been increasingly isolated. iraqi politicians even the shia parties are no longer willing to back him. the long time iraqi leader has lost the support of the international community and iran which wields influence in iraq. nevertheless maliki remains defiant. >> the government will continue and it won't be changed. it is not easy. it is a constitutional violati violation. it is conspires inside and outside of the country. we have hug constitution. >> al abadi was due to address the nation for the first time since his nomination on wednesday, but it was postponed

without explanation. he faces many challenges. not only does he have to insure that iraq's communities, sunni, shia, and kurds are represented. they have to feel that they have a say in governing the country. an united iraq is needed to confront what many are calling the growing threat from the islamic state group. the iraqi army has all but collapsed. the u.s. air force has been targeting the position of that group but military action is limited. and the obama administration has made clear those strikes won't be enough unless they have partners on the ground. >> replacing a prime minister isn't enough. they want what they call a regime change.

>> iraq needs to return to the arab fold. the thousands of sunni prisoners should be released and yo the constitution needs to be amend amended. >> reporter: the curds are fighting the islamic state in the for the of the country. they have been appealing for military help. the u.s. is sending ammunition and france is sending weapons. but there is pollution to the latest conflict. and iraq's partnership could hold the country together. >> the inpermanental drug zmap being use aut used to treat ebola has arrived. it will be given to two doctors suffering from ebola. this comes as another top doctor

died in certificate la leone. meanwhile, the two u.s. aid workers being treated for ebola in atlanta are improving. they are in a special isolation unit. tempers are flaring in ferguson, missouri. there was another shooting not far from where people were protesting the shooting death of michael brown. we go to clayton, missouri, people have gathered for an unity march to show support for brown who was killed on saturday. ash har quaraishi is there now. ash har what came out of that news briefing? >> reporter: tony, the police chief said addressing reporters after a third night of demonstration in ferguson where there were shootings as you mentioned, there were skirmishes, he has asked

demonstrators to come out peacefully. he's asking them to restrict those protests to daylight hours but they have not instituted a formal curfew, but most of ferguson is cordoned off after dark. there is no way in to these places that were looted and a lot of damage that took place overnight on sunday. one of the problems that they're dealing with is rage relations. that's one of the things he wanted to deal with and a lot of residents say they need to work on those relationships between police and the residents. >> she has lived i here most of their life. >> the police, how are you going to treat me because you're better than me because you have a badge. you have authority. ignorance for the law is no excuse. >> reporter: for a third straight night demonstrators faced off in the suburb of

ferguson, just blocks where an unarmed black teenager was shot dead by a ferguson police officer. they say that the police have a history of targeting blacks. >> i'm troubled by the shooting of the police officer. i'm troubled by after what occurred. >> still some commend the police of the handling 69 atmosphere. >> the st. louis area has been one of the country's most segregated region. blacks have had overwhelmingly had an economic disadvantage. in 1980 the town of ferguson was 14% black and 80% plaque but today 20% of residents are african-american. the police have not kept up with that change. three out of 53 police officers

in ferguson are plaque. it's not that different in st. louis county as a whole. the county has struggled to diversify. it's 90% white. in an interview with al jazeera the mayor of ferguson outlined some of the city's challenges. >> african-american officers are not a dime adozen. it is hard to go out and get african-americans who want to be in police work. we talked about it tonight the divide between young african-americans and law enforcement. you don't see african-americans coming out in droves to join law enforcement. >> apparently there have been this under tow that has bubbled so the surface. it's our first priority to address it, to fix what's wrong. >> i guarantee that st. louis will not be the same an it is, i'm one of them who won't stand for this issue because it could have been my nephew.

>> reporter: balancing the investigation into the community's need for transparency has become a challenge in this small community whose citizens say they deal with years of penalty up issues. >> ash har, thank you. ash har quaraishi for us. earlier i spoke with ron davis. 's in geneva calling for the u.s. to stop murders committed with impunity against young black men. ron's son, jordan davis, was killed two years ago by michael dunne. a shoulde court ruled dunne's case a mistrial. >> we need to look at the way we view some of these crimes. i mean, the stand your ground ruling that says that we must look into the mind of the shooter. i don't think that's fair because you can't look into the mind of a shooter and try to

figure out if that person was reasonable or not. that's the whole thing with the stand your ground law. what's reasonable to you is not reasonable to me. i don't think its reasonable to shoot into a car full of teenagers because their music is too loud but apparently mr. dunne thought it was reasonable. >> this is what i want to get at with you, you know, it is being said that you want to shame america while you're there in geneva. that you're angry that black men are being killed with impunity. are you angry? are you disappointed? what are you exactly and forget what the articles are saying about you and your demeanor. you tell me. >> reporter: number one, i love my country, america. i want it to be a better america. i want it to be america the beautiful. to be beautiful you have to look at what's--what are some of the things that you're doing that are not the best fit for the american dream. the american dream for a people

of color is turning to the american nightmare. you can't have law enforcement that thinks that they are at odds with the community. law enforcement is supposed to be a part of the community. they're supposed to help the community. not walk around and try to overpolice the community. just like what happened with mike brown. in ferguson. the problem there that i see is number one, you leave this young man on the street for two, three, four hours, which is unacceptable to me. you know, people are getting upset because he's laying there. he's dead. and you won't even have the decency to remove the body. it takes you that long to remove the body. the other thing is you bring people out with riot gear, you know. if you want to get with the community and calm the community down. have an opportune hole meeting, have the parents, police

commissioner, that's how you calm the people down. you don't calm them down with riot suits with riot gear and expect them to be calm. they can't be calm because you're confronting them. when i come here with geneva with the human rights network what we're trying to do going through the committee for racial elimination, racial bias, racial discrimination, we're trying to let them know these are some of the problems that we face in america. and not trying to shame america, but more trying to educate america that we have to learn to live together with law enforcement and the community. it's not something that we have to stay at odds with. if we keep doing what we're doing every week there is going to be a killing every week, some young child. i say a child because you cannot treat these youth as if they're grown men. they are children. you cannot continue to use violence towards the children to get a response from the children. if the children is not obeying

you there are other methods as a grown person, as law enforcement, anybody, that you can take in order to get the attention of children rather than taking their life. >> well, the meeting in gentlemen knee is in front of a committee to end racial discrimination. coming up on al jazeera america, food, water and medicine in short supply in eastern ukraine. meanwhile the government is rejecting supplies from russia, calling it a pretext to an invasion. >> two kilometers beneath the canadian city of sudbury. this is a working nickel mine, and it's also a cutting edge particlecal physics lab.

>> the united nations says the number of people killed in eastern ukraine has doubled in the last two weeks. this comes as officials in kiev say they will only accept the convoy of aid from russia if the red cross distributes it. emma hayward is in eastern

ukraine and spoke to some of those who badly need the help. >> reporter: under canvas they can finally feel safe baby is only nine months old and her mom is trying to keep her cool in the stifling heat. nadia is a teenager keen on her gadgets put but she's suffering from cancer and she came here with her grandmother because it was too dangerous to get the help that she needed. >> we could only get treatment in luhansk. the last time we were there it was getting sheffield united. he managed to grab our medical papers. >> reporter: this is a temporary shelter for people fleeing the fighting in eastern ukraine. more than two and a half thousand people have passed through here in a month. for some it's been a difficult journey. >> separatists would not let us use humanitarian corridors out of the city. the majority of people are still

trapped. there are lots of old and sick people still there. >> the plight of refugees has prompted a convoy of aid. but there is discussion of how it will be processed and at which point it will enter ukrainian territory. this is the convoy that was expected to eac reach this camp but it has now been dismantled. kiev uses the convoy as an ai aid to invasion. >> there is no limit to russian cynicism. first they bring in tanks, multiple rocket launch systems, terrorists, shooting ukrainians. after that they bring water and

salt. >> reporter: but salt and water is needed here. as volunteers try to deal with the growing number of refugees. forced from their homes by the fighting. emma hayward. al jazeera, eastern ukraine. >> we should tell you that tension in russia over the crisis in ukraine starting to take a toll on europe's economy. ali velshi joins us with more on that. what kind of impact are we starting to see on european economies. >> i should tell you even before these latest escalations economie economies in europe were kind of struggling. they were showing signs of topping off or slowing down. germany is the biggest engine in europe. it's the growth engine of europe. we learned that factory orders in germany dropped because of weaker demand and here's the thing. investor confidence in germany plunged to a 20-month low this month. so we're worried about that now.

germany, russia only accounts for 3% of germany's exports, so who knows what the relationship is. the last week italy slipped back into a recession. this is a third time since 2008, and in france, you're ozone's second largest economy growth has been flat. spain is growing a little, but it's got it's own economic threat. europe is not fully stable, and now that these sanctions have kicked up. again this is fruit, vegetable, meat, as you know, this is still not effecting natural gas. the amount of oil and gas that goes into russian is where the big concern is coming. >> how fluid continued tensions with russia actually make things worse. >> reporter: probably because as we escalate each of these sanctions it could ultimately hit energy. if you look at the trade between europe and russia, europe sells $178 billion worth of stuff. $170billion to russia. the e.u. takes in about

$283 billion gods and services. oil and gas goes into russia. so far vladimir putin has not turned the natural gas off, but because it's august. russia has done this before. and they usually wait until the dead of winter where turning off natural gas actually hurts. so when the temperatures start falling and this gets kicked up, if it does, not only do you have crisis through europe but you see the european economy take a down turn. you know when that happens, when a big economy like europe starts to suffer we all have to start to worry. >> particularly germany. what else are you working on for the program tonight? >> we have a story about light-rail. cities spend money to build light-rail and it jump starts local economies. that's all great but in many places that leads to gentrification. but that tends to push lower income folks out of their homes.

we'll look at twin cities in minnesota is dealing with this. they're getting their light-rail and helping small businesses and residents who live in those areas. >> ail aiali velshi right here at the top of the hour. officials say they may accepted more ground troops into iraq but not for a combat mission. we'll talk to a former army officer of the difficulties of such a mission.

>> the united states may send more troops to help a group of minorities trapped on a mountain. tens of thousands of yazidis fled to the mountains to escape fighters of the islamic state group with us i fighters.

mike, good to have you on the program. how do you get-- >> good to see you. >> yes a pleasure. how do you get yazidis from the mountain of sinjar. what are the options available for moving these people off the mountain? >> i think that is the question. i think that's what we're continue to go assess. if you think about the difficulty of getting 30 to thousand people with no food or water, elderly people off the mountain, just imagine they went hiking and got lost now you have to get 30,000 people off that mountain. that's difficult. a helicopter carries 15 to 20 people at a time. now imagine a heavily armed army trying to stop you, and you get a sense of the scale of the

problem. this is a difficult one to be sure and i think it will take quite a bit to get these people off the mountain safely. >> let me put your officer hat on for a second. how critical is the feedback going to be from the advisers on the ground in the area. it seems that they have two jobs, maybe more. but they have to assess the threat from the islamic state group, and then kind of manage the logistics of getting the people off the mountain. that is a really difficult task. >> yes this, is huge logistical problem. what is on the mountain that would greatly ease the situation. how much food and water do these people have left? what is the timeline that we'll start to see deaths and injuries

from simply exposure. there is no shade there. what resistence are they likely to meet on the way in. even a helicopter, aircraft might take ground fire. and what will it take to defend an ever shrinking perimeter. you have a large concentration at first, but if you're doing it by airlift that perimeter of people shrimp down o shrink down on itself. and the important consideration is that the enemy always gets a vote. whatever your plan is, the enemy will try to disrupt it, and isis is a cunning adversary and they're well armed. you have to prepare for resistence. >> this is perfect and gets me to the right to the next point i want to take with you. the advisers are off the mountain and they're talking to their superiors in watch and making recommendations. could those advisers actually come back and say you know what

we need more airstrikes to provide the buffer zone necessary to even consider this. >> i think its possible they may say that. i think its possible they may say a lot of things. right now there is a goal articulated last week. even if you take the most narrow goal the administration has articulated which is the rescue of these 40,000 yazidis on mount sinjar. the ways and means to reach that goal, the way to get there is quite a bit. if you add the goal of trying to defend a surrounding area from the isis attacks the ways and means becomes even larger. there are a lot of, and has been since last week a lot of unanswered questions about where the administration can go and where they can bind help to get this done. >> to help the iraqi forces. >> in your estimation, can you rescue the yazidis without reintroducing u.s. forces into

combat on the ground in iraq? i ask the question that way because that is the way the president is stating the situation. that we're not going to do that. we're not going to reintroduce force noose a combat situation but in your estimation that be done? can you accomplish both of those objectives? >> the only way it can be done is if you have a sufficiently large and efficient iraqi force, it could be made up of despite great efforts we have yet to see that force. until it does, it points to larger issues. you're able to help 40,000

yazidis, but what about--i think catastrophic advance of isis across the region, syria, iraq, i argue that the united states has a clear national security interest in preserving the northern lavant from this isis attack. this is a--this is not a terrorist organization. this is a well equipped army that is trying to carve out a new situation by the sword out of wreckage of syria and pieces of iraq. i don't think they're going to stop there. they have larger designs. this is not good for anybody in the region. i think if there is a hopeful story is that the threat of isis spined with its brutality might be enough of a threat for the modern middle east to draw together stake holders together and gain unity among iraq and it's neighbors that they will stand against this threat. this is serious, and that's what it's going to take. >> i think that's rock-solid

analysis. michael, the executive director of the truman national project joining us from washington, d.c. michael, thank you. in serie-a the islamic state group is winning mortar tore from rebels and the assad forces. fighters have taken suburbs near aleppo. there are fears that the group is in position to expand it's territory further west. the last of the assad government's sarin gas stock pile was destroyed. syria agreed to hand over its chemical weapons to avoid drawing u.s. and it's allies into the fighting. in brazil a plane crash has killed a presidential candidate, eduardo campos. it's president has declared three days of national mourning. we have more from the scene of

the crash. >> it's raining. it's reovercast and very cold. 9 rain has not stopped for hours now. and fire crews at the crash scene hanging in the closest it can get from a block away. they're in there trying to recover some of the debris, and the investigations going. but the conditions that we're experiencing now we're told are the same conditions at the time of the crash when apparently the plane was trying to land because of the conditions aborted the landing and that's when the control tower lost all communication with the plane. it crashed here in this residential district. six people on the ground were injured with non-life threatening injuries. seven on the plane are all dead. and the crash was so strong that all of the bodies are almost

unrecognizable. >> boy, gabriel alessandro reporting from brazil. and in egypt hosni mubarak said that he did not order the killings of 900 protesters three years ago. this is the second time the president is facing these charges in court. an earlier conviction was thrown out last year. we have more on the dramatic day in court. >> reporter: the former dictator arrived on the stretcher directly from the military hospital where he already is serving time for corruption. this was the first time has any measurhosni mubarak gave testimony. >> mohammed hosni mubarak appearing before you today never handed down orders for the killing of protesters or impos imposing a bloodbath among the egyptians. >> reporter: the trial of mubarak and his top aides have been going on for three years.

no verdict on the man at the center of the storm. mubarak was supposed to spend life in prison, but the sentence was overturned on technical grounds leading to this retrial. many believe the 86-year-old would ask for a more lenient sentence due to his age and his reportedly frail health. but it wasn't the case. >> he got a very different figure than previously court appearances where he must clearly coming across as a defeated, sickly old man. but the hosni mubarak we saw today looked very much aged, of course, and like the man he was for three decades: proud and very confident. >> mubarak spoke at length about decades in power. some say his words were reminiscent of the last speech he gave when he was forced to step down.

>> i, like any other human being make mistakes, yet i assume responsibility in absolutely faith and honesty. i did my best to fulfill my duty and i like many will be justified by history. >> reporter: the court also heard testimony from the former interior minister who repeatedly said a foreign plot was behind mubarak's jouster. judges are expected to hand a verdict on september 27th. al jazeera. >> well, a security ruling allows same-sex marriage couples in virginia to marry. maria ines ferre has the story and other headlines making news across america. >> reporter: tony, an appeals court refused to delay its ruling striking down virginia's same-sex marriage ban. that means gay couples can begin marrying as early as next week. they requested a delay on the ruling while it appeals on the u.s. supreme court. they say they will now file an

>> watching myself walk down the street, and then bam, one minute i'm there, and the next minute i'm gone. let's face it. nobody wants something like this to happen. it's one of those things that not only is it unprovoked. >> reporter: he's hospitalized with a blood clot. he hopes the attacker is caught so no one else gets hurt. and in texas sheriff deputies wrestle with a trespassing suspect near a school in houston. the gator guy or gal was minding it's own business when deputies got the call and this tug-of-war was under way. no students are on campus yet, school has not started. that would have been a sight for students. >> can you imagine. all right, ines. thank you. coming up, cars submerged in as much areas under the state of

hillary clinton who is said to be preparing for a presidential run in 2016 is now attempt to go smooth tensions after criticism of his foreign policy approach. >> reporter: the former secretary of state apologized to president obama over the phone yesterday and intends to repeat the regret at a dinner they're both attending tonight. a few days ago clinton attempted to create distance with the president's foreign policy. she sold the atlantic monthly the obama approach to syria was a mistake and now left a vacuum filled with islamic state fighters. she said she would have armed the syrian opposition groups. arm the opposition groups? hmm. two years ago that was described as a bad idea by that person. glisk what are we going to arm them with and against what? you're not going to bring tanks over the borders of turkey, lebanon and jordan. maybe at best you can smuggle

in, you know, automatic weapons. where do you go? and to whom are you delivering them? we know al-qaeda, they're supporting the opposition in syria. are we supporting al-qaeda in syria? >> it is possible clinton was defending the president's policy two years ago against her own wishes still her double talk and criticism of president obama has infuriated the president's inner circle. president obama voted against the iraq war, expect this dance to continue even if they hug it out on martha's vineyard. sarah palin has told friends that she will consider a 2016 presidential campaign. the g.o.p. vic vice presidential candidate is not
