honoring south korean christians, pope francis bee at identifies korean catholics for refuse to go change religions. this may become a thing of the past. there seems to be no end to the fighting in iraq. the u.s. is helping kurdish fighters drive out the islamic state group. taking over large parts of the area forcing people from their homes, the group wants to establish an islamic state in the region, refugees continues to hide in the sinjar mountains as the u.s. continues to bomb areas across the north. at least 11 rebel fighters were said to be killed by attacks on mo sus. the u.n. council voted to block

funds to be iraq and syria fo forism s. hundreds of refugees have crossed the border in to turkey. many are staying with family or friends others are sheltering in crowded camps near the bodder. the fighters have managed to force government troops out of many towns and villages. the u.s. rounds of of bombing has hit several areas. several fighters from the islamic state group are said to have been killed. medical sources in mosul say the bodies of 11 rebels have allied to 11 hospitals, update us now if you will on the fighting.

what's happening at the moment? >> reporter: like you mentioned in the past hour or so further u.s. air strikes targeting positions belonging to the islamic state group in sinjar and the mosul come. but we do understand our forces in from the kurdish per morgue a that they are also trying push in. as the u.s. bombs these positions, peshmerga forces are trying to retake territory. we have to remember that the u.s. military has stressed time and time against this is to defends the military and the people. mosul damn is highly significant, it provides water, electricity to many areas, so further air strikes we understand that up to 15 islamic state fighters have been killed in the latest strikes. like you mentioned earlier, this group is expanding, it's trying to advance further north in iraq

and neighboring syria, they are trying to advance to the northern countryside of aleppo. we have been speaking to people here and they don't believe that this group will be able to -- able to defeat this group just by carrying out air strikes, you need partners on the ground. and here in iraq, you are going to need the support of the sunnis. what we understand from sunni tribal elders is that they have intention to take the arms against the islamic state group until the central government in baghdad gives them their rights. baghdad no longer faces the possibility of a violent power struggle. now that nouri al-maliki has relinquished power to a new prime minister. but the iraqi capitol is still a violent place. there are bombings nearly every day. the people here are hopeful a peaceful transfer of power will bring about security. >> translator: handing over the post of prime minister to haider

al abadi is that al-maliki is keen to preserve the safety of iraq. >> reporter: the most influential shia cleric says the transition is a rare opportunity to resolve the political and security problems. now all eyes are o hider al aba. maliki has been accused of alienating sunnis and kurds al badi will need their help. they are some of the prominent sunni trouble leaders who hold sway on the ground. they welcome maliki's departure but said it won't end the crisis, they believe the solution is in a federal iraq, where sunnis would be able to govern their own territories.

>> translator: we are ready to cooperate with the new government only if sunnis get their own rights, our priority is to stop government attacks against our areas and disarm shia militias. they are more dangerous than the it lamb i can state group. we will not fight that group unless our demands are met. >> reporter: for now the shia-let government is allowing on shia militias to protect the entrances of baghdad from the islamic state group. they took major installations and oil fields and the iraqi army which abandoned their positions and weapons hasn't been able to recapture that territory. the international community is opening a united iraq can defeat a group that many see as a biggest threat. there may be a new slipper ship but this is a divided country. >> as always it's the innocent people who are most effected. what sort of impact is this latest fighting having on the refugees situation.

>> reporter: well, there is a humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in the north of the country. up to 1.2 million displaced people. the kurdish officials cannot cope with the rising numbers, there are also reports up to 80 yazidi men have been shot dealt, killed by the islamic state group from a village southwest of sinjar. and what we do understand also from officials is that the group captured women and children. we do not know how many. but this is a very small village of about 300 families that live there. not only are penal being targeted, people are being displaced from their homes. there is an sr-pblg situation and right now what we understand is that the peshmerga is hoping to retake some of the territory to his allow people to go back but it's proving to be very difficult. >> thank you. germany foreign minister is in iraq to discuss the humanitarian problems. he has been meeting the iraqi

foreign minister. germany has a policy of providing only aid supplies to crisis-hit areas but not military support. meanwhile tons of german aid has arrived in erbil in northern iraq. the supplies include medicine, food, and blankets. two other flights are expected to arrive in the next few days. germany is one of several countries bringing aid in to northern iraq. the united nations security council has unanimous a passed a resolution to block funding to the islamic state group in iraq and syria. >> will those in favor of the draft resolution please raise their hand. >> reporter: with the islamic state group now controlling a third of iraq and syria, the security council took a unified stand against what it called one of the most serious threats to international peace and security. >> is tends a clear political message that the international community utterly condemns ic cl

attacks, reject being its violent extremist ideology and united to a pose and confront it. >> reporter: the resolution attempts to cut off funding and other forms of support for it lamb i can state and fronts. adding six individuals to a sanctions list. but a former u.n. counter terrorism official says it may be too late for the usual tools of the security council to have an impact. >> the arms are already there. these groups are incredibly well armed in fact, and every day they seem to be better armed because they take over syrian or iraqi arm stocks. and assets freezes, as far as they are concerned, they are certainly not hurting. they have a lot of man i there. >> reporter: the resolution expresses international unity and it demands that member states cut off not only finding but also the recruitment of foreign fighters. many countries are worried about their own citizens who have joined these groups and could return home to cause trouble. the resolution also warns of the

group's use of the internet and other communication technology for the purpose of recruitment and insight. putting the onus on u.n. member states to stifle support for the groups. >> my government asks all of the neighboring countries and other countries to take strong measures to implement steps and apply this resolution. this is very important. iraq will continue to work with all countries and will -- and organizations to fight this international terrorism groups and defeat them. >> reporter: until they do the international community will be faced with an ongoing humanitarian as well as political crisis and more than a million displaced iraqis and syrians who can't go home. al jazerra, the united nations. the syrian coalition says it supports thein' security council's plans for sanctions against the is lat i can state

group. calling for targeted air strikes in syria, strikes should be backed up by intensive training and programs for the moderate forces that have been fighting isis. now known as the us lat i can state group for over year. rat least two to people killed about eye car bombing in southern syria. it happened in front of a mosque and the rebel-controlled town activists say a woman and child were among those killed. opposition forces meanwhile have taken control of villages. after days of intense fighting. the villages are near the military air base which is the biggest military airport in syria. thousands of people in libya have demonstrated against a request by parliament for the united nation to his intervene in the country. libya is experiencing its worst violence since the 2,011 election when muammar qaddafi

the family feels that it was strategic, they think it was aimed at denigrating their son, it was a character assassination attempt. that is that is pretty much the sentiments of everyone i have discussed. at a time when the highway what troll was called n finally things are settling down, he's inciting the community all over again. >> the shooting has put a spotlight on the police force of ferguson, missouri which is mostly white even though the city's population is 60% black. this has led to questions about whether a more integrated police force would improve community relations and reduce tension as we report. >> reporter: just three of ferguson missouri's 53 police officers are black. so the killing of a black teenager stomped by a police officer there has question raised questions about institutional racism in u.s. law enforcement. but those who monitor the police

say the racial makeup of police departments is not the fundamental problem. it's the policies they enforce. in new york city a majority of police officers on the beat are black, latino or asian but it's still minorities who are overwhelmingly targeted. here in mainly black bedford, new york, the police issued 8,200 tickets to people for riding a bike on the sidewalk between 2008 and 2011. that compares to just 32 tickets issued in nearby white park slope. watchdog groups argue the main problem isn't police diversity. >> diversity will probably help with better policing, but it won't make a significant difference. in new york city, for example, whether it's a white cop or cop of color that, officer has to get with the program and that program in new york city is to focus on lower income communities of color and to focus petty infractions. it results in harassment and unnecessary punishments. >> reporter: 86% of those arrests in new york for misdemeanors in the first six

months of this year were black. activists allege police officers view minorities as the easiest way to meet arrest quotas. communities view the police as unpredictable armed actio occup. even the representative of the organization representing black officers in the u.s. seemed resigned. >> i would hope african american or latino officers would have a little bit more understanding, but let's be honest with the environment that you are in it's impossible. >> reporter: crit immaterials argue thercritics argue thereisl militarized policing. until that changes the police will continue to shoot. and the unarmed will continue to die. al jazerra, new york. much more coming up on al jazerra. >> ebola give you a lot of pain all over the body.

tariffs for new cars from elsewhere will be more expensive. heist mates that he could lose 20% of his customers. >> some dealers who are now operating these new vehicles have to find some solutions to get russian-production vehicles. >> reporter: joining the customs union won't just affect the car market. prices will go up for every day items imported from the e.u. armenia's largest trading partner. the trouble for armenia is if it's wants to join the customs union it has to restructure its market because currently lots of products like this cereal or olive oil, for instance, come from the european union. it will need to keep prices low by introducing more imports from the customs union. many armenians believe joining may have more to do with politics than economics. russia is a top destination for armenian labor my grass and

europe needs their constant support. >> armenia has security problems and they think that the ski to the security issues is in the hands of putin. >> reporter: for now, entry to the block has been delayed. armenia may still be negotiating its terms. but consumers like susan worry that once signed they will end up the losers. >> if there is a customs union that makes you to choose between certain products and that these products are not going to be as various as we have, it already going to become not good for me because i am used to buy, okay, french cheese, german beer, there should be different alternatives for people. >> reporter: you don't have to look far to see armenia's historic and cultural ties to russia. whether or not it makes economic sense, the customs union will make those ties stronger. al jazerra armenia.

territory, we may see a change of heart or an agreement if you will to allow u.s. air strikes in syria, but i think iraq needs to be dealt with first. >> sure. theodore, very good to talk to you, thank you. five people have been killed in egypt supporters of deposed president mohamed morsi protested for a second straight day coming after the mass killings a year ago. >> reporter: in the neighborhood of gee is just outside the cairo supporter of deposed president mohamed morsi attack. security forces opened fire on protest, while trying to disperse the crowd. this week marks the first anniversary of the violent police crack down at two protest sites last year that killed hundreds of people. it's also a week in which egyptians saw their former
