[♪ music ] >> hedge, and welcome to the news hour. i'm stephen cole in doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes the killing in iraq goes on. vowing not to back down anti-government protest necessary pakistan say they will continue to rally until the prime minister resigns. police in ferguson clash with protesters who have been demonstrating after a teenager was shot dead.

and honoring south korean christians, 124 catholics killed for refusing to renounce their faith. >> but first there is fighting across parts of northern iraq. the u.s. says it's helping the iraqi government from the kurdish fighters drive out the islamic state group as fighters have taken over large areas, forcing people out of their homes. bombing has hit close to mosul dam, and 159 fighters are claimed to have been killed.

syrian coalition said it supports the u.n. security plan of sanctions against the islamic state group. in a statement it says the syrian coalition calls for targeted airstrikes in syria, strikes should be supported by intensive training and equipping programs. for the moderate syrian opposition forces which have been fighting isis now known as the islamic state group for over a year. despite more counter attacks islamic state groups control large areas of iraq. they hold northern raqqa, mosul. let's talk about these airstrikes and whether or not they're being effective. isis still controls large areas,

a vast region of the sinjar mountain, don't they. >> reporter: as you mentioned, the islamic state group control one-third of iraq. but the obama administration and the pentagon have made it clear time and time again that the objective of the military operation is not to defeat the group but to weaken it. they are defending the north as well as protecting minorities. we understand earlier today there were a number of airstrikes carried out, targeting the islamic state group near in the sinjar mounts as well as areas around the mosul dam. but what we also understand is that killings continue. killings continue in areas under the control of the islamic state. this is not going to be an easy fight. the international community really is concerned. there is a growing concern about this group. it's growing in strength. not just in iraq.

in syria we understand that they're advancing towards the northern countryside of aleppo, and syrians are appealing for help because this is a strategic area for them. this is their supply line to turkey. they're advancing on a number of fronts, but for the time being there is no plan to defeat them, and the international community cannot do this alone. airstrikes are not enough. even the pentagon has acknowledged that. they'll need partners on the ground to help them in this fight. >> it's hard to understand what the americans mean when they talk about defensive airstrikes. when the killing goes on the whole purpose was to try the stop the killing. how long before those airstrikes increase to try and spot the kipping of those refugees of the tribes, the factions, the christian groups. you talk about the killing going

on. there is talk of another atrocity having been committed. >> reporter: that's true. but first and foremost what the obama administration to see is to see iraqis come together and this is a fight for iraq by the iraqis, but that has not happened yet. the new prime minister does have support, but there will be hard bargaining ahead. as you mentioned another atrocity. what we understand from th the sources on the ground. the yazidis have come under attack yet again. they killed up to 80 men, executed 80 men and captured an unknown number of women and children from a small village southwest of sinjar. the killings are continuing. like i mentioned the international community cannot go do this alone. they need the support of all communities, but especially the sunnies. the islamic state group has

taken control, so they need the tribal elders on their side, and the tribal elders have their even conditions. they say we will not help fight the islamic group until the iraqi government restores our rights. until we get our own rights. this is going to be a very difficult process to form a government. in the interim the islamic state group has weapons that it seized from the iraqi government as well as syrian government as they travel further. meeting the iraqi foreign minister, germany has a policy to provide aid only to crisis regions but not military help. the german aid has arrived in erbil. two other flights are expected to arrive in the next few days. germany is one of several countries including the united kingdom bringing aid to northern

are very well prepared for. >> after a thousand of people attended a rally in central gaza that was hoped support the brigades under the armed wing of hamas. the leaders of two pakistani protest movements vow to keep it up until prime minister sharif resigns. they vowed not to stop until the government steps down and new election dates are set. bolton wanderers groups are accused sharif of rigging the vote last year. kamala hyder is in live for us in islamabad. tell us more about these demonstrations. >> reporter: well, just before i get onto the subject of demonstration there is an important development in pakistan today. the session called and ordered

that the case should be regist registered against prime minister sharif, his brother, who is the chief minister of punjab. that coming at a time when they were about to speak to supporters who are staging a sit-in. he told the supporters that this was the first victory. he said now that the prime minister as well as the chief minister should be arrested immediately. they should not be allowed to leave the country. he told his supporters that none of them would move out of islamabad until the prime minister tendered his resignation. they showed the people who were killed on the 14th of june in police action when they tried to dismantle some barricades outside of a residence. so he definitely on the defensive asking for nothing

hotter of the resignation as well as the arrest of the prime minister. in the middle east they are about to speak in the next hour or so, and he will be coming up with a demand that the prime minister must step aside. >> that, indeed, all ramps up the pressure, doesn't it, kamal, on sharif. can he survive it? >> well, that's the real question here. the pressure is growing. these two parties are now sitting in islamabad the capitol of pakistan. the streets are closed off. there are thousands and thousands of police who have been brought into the city. this is a city that is paralyz paralyzed. nobody can move out, and if this pressure mounts and then obviously sharif will have something to worry about. >> indeed. kamal hyd er.

itself. we'll look at what else they're demanding. >> reporter: like many ukrainians who live in donetsk he has strong ties to russia. his grandmother fought for stalin during the second world war. he blames the region's dark history for what is happening now. >> at one point we were one country with 14 republics. politicians divided these republics and planted a seed of war between us. i think what is happening now is absolutely wrong because our ancestors took part of a war where they had the same ideals, values and beliefs of each other. >> reporter: the separatist beliefs are a bit more murky. some see as an old imperial russia. others embrace the power of the

soviet union. >> reporter: some say they want freedom from kiev rule. others insist that they're fighting fascism. but others say they want to get on with their lives and don't understand why ukrainians are taking up arms against each other. kiev recently proposed a peace plan in the southeastern region which includes more political and economic autonomy and protection of the russian language. the separatists say this is not enough. they have local people support. but one suburb of donetsk we immediate arina. she said most people are like her, afraid to speak out. >> i feel like my life is now just a plaque cloud. every morning i hope that this is all just a bad dream, that i'll wake up and things will be at they were. >> reporter: ukrainian army is closing in. and separatists are calling for more ukrainian and russian volunteers to join their cause.
