♪ >> announcer: this is al jazeera. ♪ hello and welcome to the al jazeera news hour and i'm at headquarters in doha and coming up, in 60 minutes air strikes hit gaza again as they execute 11 men suspected of collaborating with israel. kurdish forces in iraq continue to advance against islamic state fighters as the u.s. says the group is the biggest threat for years. a russian aid convow reportedly crosses into eastern ukraine

after days of being held up at the border. the art of war, contemporary art has an unique insight into their experiences. ♪ welcome to the program, gaza security officials say 11 suspected israeli collaborators were executed on friday morning. the deaths were by order of a revolution cause in the strip made up of palestinian factions including hamas and islamic jihad, a day after strikes killed three senior members and two palestinians died in an attack in a farm in central gaza on friday morning. now the attacks follow a u.n. warning that the situation in the strip for children is dire. unicef says 469 children have died in the conflict and that

toll is expected to rise. it's a dire situation and for the very latest we will join jane ferguson and start with the statement that has come out in the last hour, a startling statement to be made about informants and sends out a clear message from the gaza strip. >> reporter: it does send out a very clear message and that is likely to be the motivation behind these executions which took place we believe between 3:00-4:00 a.m. on friday morning. we know there have been reports of executions having happened throughout the last six weeks of alleged collaborators here in gaza but it's significant that now the factions have taken this moment to decide to announce this, to make this kind of announcement, very often these sort of executions go unannounced formally. >> and during the conflict itself and during the indirect talks we heard in cairo palestinian factions made clear

they wanted answers from israel as to who was, as they see it, helping them with their intelligence. so it comes as a very difficult time but also a very interesting time in how the dynamics of what is unfolding with the palestinian factions is happening in the gaza strip. >> reporter: that's correct. in cairo and in the talks that have been going on for weeks now, indirect talks, factions said they would like something resembling a list of collaborators. they have linked that with the idea of returning the remains of two israeli soldiers who had been killed in gaza. we know that the factions really want and it's something that is important in these conflicts for them and anybody basically feeding information to the israelis and that can be very dangerous for them. of course through isis conflict this summer one thing that is noteworthy throughout july is we

have seen the heaviest bombardment on gaza and israeli have done in years and yet high profile hamas or other factions, high profile targets had not been hit and israelis coming under some pressure because there had been questions asked back home what are they gaining from this war. it's only this past week, in the last few days that we have seen high profile targets on the military wing of hamas hit or at least attempts also made on their lives. so it's significant that at this moment they decide to make this announcement and sends a message to any collaborators across the gaza strip. >> for the moment jane we will leave it there and follow events with you from gaza as the day progresses. people in occupied east jerusalem are facing the largest wave in years and say israeli police are going to palestinian people and accusing them of starting riots and kimberly has

more. >> reporter: the parents of mohamed haven't seen their son in weeks. they wait anxiously for a hearing in an israeli court, hoping he will be released. and his crime according to police participating in a mass demonstration. >> translator: the arrest arbitrary and based only on an assumption. >> reporter: he was arrested weeks after the funeral for his cousin, 16-year-old mohamed and he was burned alive by three israelis in retaliation of the death of three israeli teen settlers, as the funeral ended clashes broke out with israeli police. >> translator: they took him based on being at the funeral. thousands participated from all over palestine. he was our cousin. is this what happens to someone who helps? >> reporter: police surveillance video from the clashes shows him carrying a wounded news

photographer to treatment as a professional dentist he is trained in emergency medicine and still he is one of more than 600 arrested following demonstrations since the start of israel war on gaza and many of the arrests the family said targeted these people. in early july another cousin, tarik was beaten after being beaten by israeli police. the 15-year-old is a u.s. citizen. the u.s. state department condemned the treatment of him and disturbed cousin has also been targeted. >> we are also concerned about members of the family appear to be singled out for arrest by the israelis. >> the one in white shirt. >> reporter: human rights lawyer says family members and their acquaintances are being arounded up and indefinitely detained. she says the numbers are unprecedented. >> i can tell you that we lawyers and many, many lawyers have never worked so hard on these cases because everyday and

again they come with a harvest of about 20, 30, 40 youngsters as they pick up from houses everywhere. >> reporter: and like him they are detained indefinitely. and he spent his 30th birthday in jail and although he has not been convicted, israeli court has decided he won't be released. kimberly with al jazeera, occupied east jerusalem. >> kurdish fighters backed up by iraqi helicopters are on the offensive battling to recapture lost ground in northern iraq. they are trying to force out islamic state fighters. u.s. air strikes help them take the mosul dam earlier this week and we are on the front line where the kurdish are battling those islamic state fighters. the battle has been intense for both sides. >> reporter: there are many

front lines in northern iraq. we have to remember the kurds are at war with the islamic state group. they share a 1,000 kilometer border. and this front is particularly strategic. why? it is one of several gateways to irbil, the capitol of the semi kurdish region in the north. to talk more about the fight we are joined by the commander ali, sir, how difficult has it been holding this territory? >> i don't think it is too difficult to protect our territory, but i think when we are fighting the forces we need some heavy work on this to fighting them because they control it more than a lot of the heavy in iraq and we don't have like them especially like

artillery, like armor and mortar and we need these to fight them. >> reporter: what kind of force the islamic state group and the u.s. is calling them the most dangerous group they faced in years. >> they are very dangerous. they are using a lot of mechanism for fighting especially the psychology tactic because the psychology tactic in our country, it has been the new tactic they use when they are fighting. really the psychology tactic, effective on our people and but now we have to respond then by our media and by our parties responding that these tactics are propaganda. they want to benefit.

>> reporter: what about corporation with iraq army and we seen troops support the dam but no iraqi forces on this front. >> i don't see iraqi forces in here, but the coordination between us and between iraqi forces, military forces, it is too necessary because when we make a coordination to get a recruit and respond and fighting them and it's better. >> reporter: sir, thank you very much. so as you can see an active front line really in the north of iraq, but i've been speaking to other commanders as well as what is key is support of iraq sunnis and they need them on their side if they advance to the strongholds of the islamic state group. >> we will follow that throughout the day and for the moment thank you. now the united states says the islamic state group is unlike anything it has ever seen,

barbaric and the fighter against the group will be a very long one and jordan reports from washington d.c. >> reporter: after the murder of the u.s. journalist james foley officials at the pentagon say foley's killers the islamic state group now are a major security threat to the u.s. >> they marry ideology, strategic and tackle military prowess and tremendously well funded. this is beyond anything that we have seen. so we must prepare for everything. and the only way you do that is you take a cold, stealy hard look at it and get ready. >> reporter: it's much more harsh when president obama said is was not as dangerous as al-qaeda and no top officer will

say whether the u.s. is at war with is. from the outside it already looks like war. since august 8th, the u.s. military bombed is vehicles, checkpoints and convows nearly 90 times, only two of them not killing the fighters in their sight. iraqi government asked washington to intervene because its troops could not stop them from taking over northern iraq and they told reporters the question of war is one for president barack obama, not the military which takes its orders from him. but he added this, the battle to stop is will not end soon and will go beyond iraq. >> to your question, can they be defeated without addressing that part of the organization which resides in syria, the answer is, no. that will have to be addressed on both sides of what is essentially at this point a nonexistent border. it requires a variety of instruments and one small part is air strikes and not saying it will occur in syria at least not

by the united states of america but requires the application of all of the tools of national parody. >> reporter: they repeated what the state department said about the air strikes in iraq, they are only being used for humanitarian and national security reasons. but officials there also know that they are going to have to prove that they are not engaging in mission creep, using air strikes as a pretext for an all out war against the islamic state group. roslyn jordan, al jazeera the state department. deadline for yemen government to step down is due to run out in hours and rebels from the north gave the ultimatum and are against plans to divide the country in six region federation. earlier the president met with members of parliament to disway the restoring stability and security in the country and those talks follow demonstrations by the rebels in the capitol sina. al jazeera is in the capitol for

us. it seems that those demonstrations about the way the country will possibly be split up are ongoing, hashim. >> reporter: first of all, i will update you on the political situation here. the country we understand from our sources in gaza province has a stronghold that a deal could be reached tonight between a delegation formed by the government and the rebels. we have agreed on forming a new government and will talk about the details of government. that is a very crucial development that could release some tension you see here on the streets of the capitol. having said that, just a few moments ago a spokesperson of the movement told these thousands of protesters that they are escalating the protest

movement as of today and set up protest camp here in the capitol until most of the demands are met. they want the government to revert as decisions made a few weeks ago to cut subsidies and at the same time they want international unity government. it's a very critical situation. sunnis across the country accused of trying to implement radical ideology in the country and say if they control it and the sunni in the south and the center of the country we will declare independent state, very, very critical moments in yemen. >> reporter: we will leave it there in yemen and saying there may be an a deal between rebels and the government to maintain the federal state of yemen and more on that as the day progresses. much more still to come here on the al jazeera news hour

escorted by pro-russia fighters and surrounded by ukraine government forces and that can be a very intense hand over. >> reporter: certainly is. from what we gather, the city of luhansk is constant bombardment by ukrainian forces for quite a long time now. ukrainian insist they are on the verge of being able to regain large sways of the city. what we have heard also is that there is street fighting, block to black fighting taking place there. in this convow is attempting to reach civilians in the city it will be an incredible difficult journey. we heard some conflicting reports about the movements of these 270 trucks or so that are waiting at the russian border for more than a week and there have been real concerns tomorrow the ukrainian side that these

trucks may well be used to help separatist fighters in the city of luhansk and some trucks may make it to donetsk, another pocket of separatist resistance for the ukrainian army with batallions closing in on them. >> the point of the trucks is they were not going anywhere until the red cross had inspected them, a deal agreed by both moscow and kiev but both of those capitol cities will be keeping a close eye as you say on the movements of those trucks and how they then return and probably to russia. >> reporter: absolutely. a lot of questions still to be asked. we gather that the ukrainians have said this is an illegal crossing of the border by the trucks. some comments from the russian side, they say as you mention there that they are being escorted by separatist fighters. the big question now is look how will the ukrainian army going to

respond. why did the ukrainian border guards allow the trucks to cross over, what is the red cross going to do now they said they will not take part in escorting these vehicles to their intended destinations. sounds like a very tense journey for these trucks, wherever their final point of arrival should be. >> we will follow certainly the movements to those trucks and the route as the day progresses and thank you for joining us. now to american aid workers infected with the ebola virus in liberia have been discharged from a hospital in the united states and ken brantly and colleague were treated with experimental drug zmapp. >> above all i'm forever thankful to god for sparing my life and i'm glad for my attention my sickness has attracted to the plight of west africa in the midst of this, epidemic and pray for liberia

and west africa and encourage those in leadership and influence to do everything possible to bring this ebola outbreak to an end. >> reporter: it was the right decision to bring these patients back to emory for treatment. what we learned in caring for them will help advance the world's understanding of how to treat ebola virus infections and help, hopefully, to improve survival in parts of the world where patients with this infection are treated. >> reporter: hundreds of people in liberia capitol remain quarantined behind barricades and officials thought of getting food and water to the 10,000 people there confined, and there are questions about how long the provisions will last. despite the recovery of dr dr. brantly and colleague multi drug companies are accused not doing enough to fight ebola and analyst worry there is no profit in treating the disease and it's

holding companies back. rob reynolds has more. >> reporter: in the fight against ebola, the world's largest pharmaceutical company have been absent without leave. vast majority of africans with ebola there are few effective treatments. a small number of u.s., european and african doctors or medical workers have been tested with a serum called zmapp and it's made by a california company in limited quantities and said all the serum it had has been sent to africa free of charge and al jazeera asked the trade association in washington whether major companies were working on ebola and the answer, no. doctor richard woodrow is a biologist. >> no real popularity with r and d in the pharmaceutical trail if you will, big p hshharma.

>> reporter: why is there little research into such a deadly disease. >> translator: yes, i do think that the response of the international community has been fairly weak so far. >> reporter: the world's four biggest drug companies, johnson and johnson, novartis, roach and pfizer had $223 billion last year but research on a disease that after fli-- afflicts peopln these counties is not a good incentive. >> to create a science for a cure and to develop effective treatments, the incentives are not very strong there. >> reporter: there is some hope, scientists at the u.s. national institute of allergy and infectious disease, a tax-payer functioned agency, are working hard to crack ebola's secrets. >> there is a vaccine that is

promising that the announcement was made last week that it was going to be fast tracked and it will go into human trials in september and if those human trials are successful, it could become available for use in 2015. now, if that is true, that's very good news. >> reporter: good news for future victims. but too late for those who are dying now. rob reynolds, al jazeera, washington. now, the rescue search after land slides in western japan was called off on friday because of safety fears. 39 people are confirmed dead and 52 more are still missing. dozens of homes were destroyed when mountain sides collapsed on the outskirts of hiroshima on wednesday and thousands of people have been ordered to evacuate homes as forecasters warn of more rain on the way. of course we get more on that with richard. it seems like a very desperate situation for people in that

area. >> yes, it is. but when i was doing the forecast a couple days ago and i showed this chart, you could just see one huge massive cloud extending across the whole eastern parts of asia and now it looks a lot more fragmented and it's a better picture at the moment. but of course a lot of it really depends on what already has fallen. we are still getting significant rain from this frontal system but it's not a remarkable frontal system as such. we are seeing some decent rainfall totals coming out with the cloud pushing through and we had rainfall effecting parts of western japan and rainfall amounts acido as well and we are expecting further heavy rain to continue across these areas but it's coming in pulses rather than heavy rain. look at the radar for japan and heavy showers showing up off the coast but no more than that but really it doesn't compare with the rainfall we saw back on

wednesday when the asikita ward saw 270 millimeters of rain in the space of just three hours. so there are warnings out at the moment for central and northern parts of honshu and alkida for heavy rain which may cause further land slides to occur and will not help rescue and recovery efforts taking place but temporary it looks like it. >> reporter: 20 malaysia body killed have been handed over to families for burial. friday has been declared a national day of mourning in malaysia and we report. >> reporter: there was a hush at the international airport for the arrival of the special cargo plane. draped with the national flag and given full military honors, the caskets were carefully received. once all were safely on malaysia

soil, a minute of silence was observed as the nation mounted. dignitaries and family members attended inside, outside many malaysia people came to pay their respects and support the families. >> translator: we pray everyday for them. >> the whole of malaysia i think we are in a situation of grief really. >> reporter: authorities have been preparing meticulously for this event and determined over the past month now the victims are back on malaysia soil and treated with the upmost dignity. past over to their families, some of the remains were flown to other parts of malaysia for burial. others were moved by hearse for burial closer to kuala-lumpa and one of the officers and flight
