group. a spokeswoman confirmed his death, saying the u.s. was aware he was in syria. according reports he died in a fire fight with the free syrian army. the question is why did this young man leave relative safety of the united states to go overseas and join a group labelled as the u.s. terrorist. >> 33-year-old grew up in the midwest, went to a high school and moved to san diego. it's unclear how we ended up fighting for the islamic state group. mccain liked rap music and basketball. his uncle reportedly said his nephew became radicalized. a picture posted on the facebook account in 2010 shows the flag of the islamic state group, and on twitter two months ago there was a retreat. pray for i.s.i.s. mccain's family was notified

that he died over the weekend in syria. >> when i see him and hear him speak and he sounds like somalia, i didn't think that was my cousin. that's why i said he may have lost his identity. all of this is - it's not him of. >> dozens of americans are recruited to fight with groups like the islamic state. >> this is one of the greatest concerns we have at this point in time. which is american citizens, and western citizens for european countries. they had passports and other european countries. the supports growing in the light of recent is recruitment videos. >> living in the west, i know the cure for the depression... >> mccain is not the first to be killed in syria, in may, the

was injured following more tar attacks. the question is who are the rebels who have tape the crossing. reports suggest that they are the free syrian army or the islamic front. reports say on the facebook page on the facebook page of the free syrian army, they are taking that force. >> well, explain american journalist james foley was remmed last night. a vim -- remembered last night. a vigil held in milwaukee. friends talked about his commitment to help the upped served. he taught at a school after graduation. a video showing his murder emerged last week. >> a 26-year-old woman is one of three hostages held by the islamic state group. kidnapped while doing humanitarian relief work. the islamic state is demanding

anything new. >> the dust will begin to clear, many will be asking why is it that today hamas accepted the very same egyptian framework that it rejected a month ago. ultimately so much bloodshed could have been avoided. hamas spokesman insists that their side did achieve what he calls victory over the islamic occupation. >> now that the agreement is in place, what happens sne.? >> well -- next. >> well, offer the course of the next four weeks, all the sides say the talks will resume in cairo, and take up some of the issues that hamas is concerned about - for example, expanded fishing rights, the request of israel to open the borders to allow travel and trade to occur, free and unfettered.

fingers are crossed that the ceasefire, this time will hold. >> randall pinkston reported from washington. we'll be joined by ambassador pinkers to discuss whether israel or hamas won the battle. late night talks between the presidents of ukraine and russia failed to produce a peace plan. they pledged to work on an agreement. moscow should not get involved in the truce terms between kiev and separatists. we are joined live from slough receiver, and there is also a video of russian soldiers captured in ukraine, sure to be causing tension. what is russia saying about that? >> okay. you are right. the ukrainian military released the video on tuesday. the video shows the interrogation of 10 russian

soldiers captured on ukranian soil, 20-30km from the rush a-ukranian border, 50km south-east of the separatist-held city of donetsk. according to the ukranian forces, these men were russian paratroopers from the city of kostramar. according to moscow they are, indeed, russian service me. but moscow said that the 10 men strayed into ukrainian territory by accident, while patrolling the border. as far as kiev was concerned. this is the clearest sign, the clearest peace of evidence yet of moscow's hand in this ongoing conflict. >> what is the situation now. are there fears of renewed fighting? >> well fighting has been pretty much constant over the last few weeks. there's something of a lull in the last few hours though.

in the last 48 hours or so, we have seen a spike of activity in the south-east of the don esque region, particular in and around the border up to. there, according to ukranian forces, two russian helicopters fired at border positions there, killing four border guards and injuring three. there are unconfirmed reports of a convoy of armoured vehicles coming across the border from russia, heading in the direction. port city on the asof sea, recaptured from the separatists two months ago. news of a separatist advance caused panic, hard of reports within mariopolous. people wanting to leave, the fear from the ukrainian forces and the worry in kiev is na the separatists may be trying to open a new front in the south of

powerful weapon. jited john henry smith here with more. >> the young girl was firing an oozy. you have probably seen them in action films. it's power of the. it got a start. the instructor, a u.s. army veteran, highly trained in weapons, a farket that makes -- factor that makes what happens hard to fathom. on vacation and parent, an unidentified 9-year-old girl doctored in pink shorts and sneakers was getting a lesson at a gun raining on how to fire an oozy submachine-gun. >> one shot. >> initially she fired one shot. the constructor tells the girl to go sul automatic, it was strong, causing the weapon to veer to the left, shooting him in the head. the incident happened at the burgers and bullets experience located on the last-stop

property. >> it's like losing a brother. these are not employees or associates. they are family. >> an oozy is a powerful weapon capable of firing 1700 rounds per minute. it can cause a violent recoil. the nearby gun shop owner said novices may not be able to handle it. >> when the blast is pushing here, and the hand is down here, it causes the gun to rotate. >> in 2008 an 8-year-old accidentally shot himself in the head at a gun show after an oozy he fired recoil. the gun show organiser was acquitted of involuntary manslaughter. and in the current case the sheriff says no charges will be filed, because bull its and burgers is licensed and legal. the question many are asking is why is it okay for a 9-year-old to handle an ooze yip.

>> a 9-year-old gets an oozy in the hand when the criteria is eight years old. we instruct kids as young as five, they don't handle a larger firearm. they are under supervision. >> that was sam, the owner of the last-stop, where the incident took place. according to the arizona law, a person must be 18 to carry a firearm. that is unless accompanied by a parent. both of which are the case. the young girl fired a fatal shot that she won't forget. >> probably traumatic for the 9-year-old. >> as we have been reporting up to 50 days of fighting and more than 2,000 deaths on both sides, israel and hamas reached a truce, reaching a long-term ceasefire. hamas claims a victory over israel. humanitarian aid and building materials are arriving through the reopened boarder crossings,

the two sides resuming talks. >> joining us now, is ambassador pinkers, joining us from tel aviv. hamas is declaring victory, while binyamin netanyahu, the prime minister's approval rating dropped from 82 to 38% in one month. did israel lose the fight? >> well, good morning. this is one of those cases in which it's a stalemate and a tie in which both sides apparently lost, rather than tied. hamas is devastated mill tary. it will achieve no political goals. hamas may be able to lift parts of the siege on gaza, yet it politically weakens, and israel is going to have to go back to the negotiating table with the

palestinian authority and an idea or concept that prime minister binyamin netanyahu dreads. so this is a tie in which both sides lost, and it remains to be seen who kind of sells his narrative better. >> ambassador, this ceasefire is unique as it is open-ended. what do you take that to mean? well, it's a good question. by definition and nature, a ceasefire whose details have not been ironed out yet, and have not been formulated or agreed upon, which is the case here such a ceasefire is by nature and division temporary rather than long-lasting. we have a unique situation in which both sides were fatigued. both were in a loss for

objectives for obtainable objectives or military and political deliverables, which is why both sides agreed to a lengthy ceasefire whose details remained to be netted within the next month in cairo, where negotiations will resume, those that have begun two or three weeks ago. there's also, if you broaden or widen the lense, if you zoom out, this could also reach the security council of the u.n., at which point we hope the ceasefire will hold. i can see a scenario, unlikely, but who those in the middle east in wind both sides are dissatisfied that it will break down. it's unlikely, but you never know. >> now that israel is allowing

construction materials to be brought into gaza, is there concern that hamas will use the supplies to rebuild the tunnels and military structure. >> yes, the concern is real. the concern is tangible and of urgent nature. there seems to be a common interest, sorry, between israel and egypt to prevent that. egypt was constructive and influential in enforcing the ceasefire and most of those materials that you are talking about were usually delivered through the rafah crossing, an area controlled partially, if not wholly by egypt. a confluence of influence between israel and egypt will do wonders to prevent hamas

replenishing the cement used to build the tunnels or the rockets or ingredients used to build the homemade rockets launched at israeli cities and towns. again. is goes to the heart of the issue that israel demanded demilitarization. and israel, i assume, predict will demand it be thrilled. i cannot see the egyptians allowing a free-flow of materials into gaza. while the concern is tapeable and there. i think amas was defeated in this sense. the -- i think hamas was defeated in this sense. the ability to replenish from this seems to be low. >> ambassador pinkers joining us from tel aviv.

thank you. israeli police are looking for a new jersey resident who went missing near jerusalem. erin moved to israel to study judahism. he was seen hiking. his parents are offering a reward for his safe return. >> the chief of the i.m.f., the international monetary fund is under investigation in france. christine lagarde said she is been charged with nenls in a maiming -- negligence in a major corruption case. she had no intention of resigning from the counter post. >> let's get a check of the forecast. >> the flash flooding at risk. central plains. what happened yesterday is a lot of rain almost once, around denver. this overloaded a lot of the storm train systems. here is what happened. water came down, and it created a well of water going through the trains. you see the comment when you get

a lot of rain, it doesn't have to be raining there. where it was raining, all the rain worked through the system. it could happen again. the risk of weather is pushing into nebraska. still this area of low pressure leading to showers and thunder storms. that could cause more flash flooding. there's still another area we are watching. >> president obama warning about a long fight ahead to protect americans were the islamic state group. the group is focussed on iraq. we talk about the roadblocks america faces if it wanted to intervene. >> a health organization raising new concerns about e-cigarettes and restrictions. >> this may look like a war zone, it's rec im from a -- wreckage from a blast in texas. we'll talk about what caused the home to explode.

>> and a fight over knee space diverted a flight. that's one of the stories from around the world.

you're looking live at gaza city, no rockets or shelling, just peace after the long-term ceasefire has been signed. hamas celebrating and israel declaring victory. goormg, welcome back -- good morning, and welcome back to al jazeera. ahead - new details about a story we've been following, two dogs with a history of violence mourning a dog to death. now the dog's owner is facing charges of murder. there's an alert about the dangers of the e-cigarette. why an influential group says they should be treated like regular smoke. in the next hour, how much does a gunshot government - putting a price tag on gun violence. >> top stories - israel and the hamas agreed to a long-term ceasefire the the two sides will resume talks in cairo.

an inspectors general report on the v.a. scandal found no evidence that vets died at a hospital, but veterans had to deal with wait times to get appointments at the facility. several executive actions were signed as part of on overhaul. >> san diego man was the first american to die while fighting for the islamic state group. the state department confirmed the death of douglas mccain. the u.s. was aware he was in syria. reports are that he died in a fire fight with the free syrian army. the president was warning of an extended campaign with the islamic state group. the president vowed that the u.s. will not rest until those that killed james foley are brought to justice. u.s. air strikes in iraq are meant to protect american citizens. >> as the commander in chief the security of the american people

is my highest priority. with i.s.i.l. advancing in iraq, i have authorised targeted strikes to protect diplomats and military advisors who are in. >> the president stressed american combat troops will not return to iraq? iraq the the prime minister-designate is forming a unity government. jane arraf is in baghdad. >> not far from here, haider al-abadi is sitting with political leaders to try to form not just a new government, but agree on what it will do. haider al-abadi said that by today he'll have a government programme, a list of priorities that the new government will take on. they are saying that they will form a cabinet, a strip-down cabinet of 20 posts within the next two weeks. it's not an easy task of the the stakes have never been higher with the islamic state group controlling over a third of iraqi territory, and deep, deep divisions in the country.

outgoing prime minister nouri al-maliki defeated a weekly address a few hours ago to saying that u.s. vice president joe biden should not attempt to try to fragment the country. he is referring to comments made some time ago, that iraq might eventually turn into separate regions. he said that the united states should try to europe item the country rather than divide it, and promised to help rein in the gun me, those brought in to defeat the islamic state, that are now in many parts of baghdad. >> that is jane arraf in baghdad, reporting for us. >> while iraq is the focus of air strikes against is, the group has more members in syria. let's bring in cedric lleyton, a colonel and members of the joipt chiefs of staff, joining us from colorado prescription. thank you for joining us. what does the obama

administration need to consider before it decides whether to enter the frey in syria. >> there's a lot of things on their plate, in terms of considering this type much an air strike or any times of things they do, will be what kind of end game do we want to have, what strategy, and how do we want it to evolve. from a military perspective, you have to use air strikes, or do you go in and say "i need to do more than air strikes, i need a perhaps on the ground. if that is the case, what are the types of ground preps do you want to choose from, if you are looking at the menu. that would include special operations forces, other forces. potentially it could include medical personal, and the kind of things that really are important to the way the ground work, and that is intelligence much now, with the overflights in syria, or the planned

overflights for syria, they are laying the ground work for what is out there, and based on what they find they'll determine the military action to take. >> no one in the administration seems to be talking about ground troops, what's the leagualsy of air strikes in syria. >> that is interesting. normally you don't over night a country unless you have prime ministers to do that. the other part of that is you need to look at what kind of effects you want to have from a political and diplomatic stand point. so when you look at, you know, the syrian position, they have said any type of overflights, striking, bomb runs, it has to get permission from the bashar al-assad regime, and the regime

in washington, the administration does not want to talk to the bashar al-assad regime. there's diplomatic and military complications, and the potential that it the syrians may turn the air defense assets against american aircraft if deployed to a large extend in syria. >> general martin dempsey implied it's a regional threat, islamic state. how immediate is it to minister in the united states from the foreign fighters. the american fighters going over to fight with i.s.i.s.? >> i think the biggest threat are lone wolf terrorists, the ones inspired by ideologies like the one from i.s.i.s., and those are going to be the most difficult ones to deal with, the most difficult to detect. in terms of the organised efforts, determine is correct at the moment.

but the assessment could change because i.s.i.s. is clear that they do want to attack western europe, but the united states, so ver looking at different targets and a time line within the next year or so to find something like that. they'll leverage as much as they can, the foreign fighters coming into syria. >> colonel cedric lleyton, retired air force colonel and former member of the joint chiefs of staff. thank you for getting up early. >> a chinese citizen who worked in arizona is being accused of spying for china, after disappearing in 2007 after working for five months at the arizona center. it was said he took sensitive information with him. despite security measures, he left with two laptops and fleeing to china.

>> we are learn about a jogger mauled to death by two dogs. >> the dogs had a history of trouble before that deadly attack. >> screaming and begging for help, this newly released police report reveals that's how 46-year-old craig spent the last moments of his life. he was jogging down this rural michigan road one afternoon in july when two massive dogs of the italian kain coreso bread attacked him. the dogs dragged him into a bitch and bit him at least eight times. residents rap to save him. one told police by the time he reached the the divorced father of three, he said he was dying. a short time later he was dead. neighbours say the dogs had a history of digging out of this kennel and running loose, before this man was mauled to death. they had attacked two other people. >> with him lying in a pool of blood. some neighbours tried to

administer first aid. another grabbed a belt and towels to stop the bleeding. the dogs forced them away. a neighbour grabbed a gun and shot at the dogs. one was hit. >> i don't know how this happened. how this, you know, all these people who have had incidents with them, and have been bit by them, how it continued on. >> kim lives down the road from where the last attack took place. the dogs were a well-known dlat in the community. >> i heard a few neighbours jog with guns because the dogs loose on the streets. i put the incense in so my dog will not be mistaken for pa stray or unsafe. >> 45-year-old seb of theia of italy, and his 44-year-old wife from albania owned the dog and if convicted face life behind

bars. they were described as good people, and said the fact that they are charged with an intentional killing is illogical. the place told al jazeera, that the department was aware of attacks, but animal control issued nothing more than fines. an attorney represented the dogs in a lawsuit and believes the animal control could have done more. >> the writing is on the wall. where there was nothing done after the first incident and just some minor tickets after the second, that tells you that the system is broken. >> animal control policy is under ru few. >> the jogger reportedly beat cancer took up running. they have been put down. >> it's a tough story. >> here is what is left of a house that exploded in dallas.

officials say it was caught by a gas leak. a mother and five children were injured. they made it out because on initial explosion alerted them moments after a blast levelled the home. neighbours reported smelling gas. >> look at this, one scary ride for a woman and her brother. >> you seat the hardest part causing torn muscles and injuries. the ride has been fixed and is open again. they add the rider was no in danger because there were other safety measures in place. . >> the world health organisation is expressing concern over e-cigarettes. the group is unclear over how safe or dangerous they are. >> roxana saberi reports that they are calling for some of the same restrictions that flyto

normal cigarettes. >> reporter: it's catching on. the world health organisation says the use of e-cigarettes among young people doubles in four years. >> now it's calling on governments to restrict ads like this. ban sales to minors, and prohibit e-cigarettes with flavoring. mistakers can come to different demrafrs, from apple to tropical. >> the who's proposals are part of a report that found while e-cigarettes are likely to be less toxic that egrents, it poses -- e-cigarettes, it:. >> the who is calling on governments to prohibit smoke cigarettes in public indoor spaces and work places. it wants companies to stop claiming that e-cigarettes can help people quit smoking conventional cigarettes.

>> there no evidence as to whether electronic cigarettes help or not smokers to quit smoking. >> it's time smoking change the forever. welcome to views. >> proponents of e-cigarettes argue they are safer than tobacco. no lung damage is involved. they rely on heating and vapourizing nick scro teen. >> it will work against what we are trying to achieve against public health, getting smokers to vix. >> 179 countries agreed to raise cigarette taxes, end smoking in public place and ban or limit tobacco ads. a similar agreement on e-cigarettes is far off. largely because they are so new. the who says finding out whether they cause diseases like this could take decades. >> a lot of health experts

welcome the recommendations. others say the regulations are too tight and call on the group to reconsider. >> i don't think it's the last we've heard. >> and the other headlines making news - public schools are making history. the atlanta black star reporting nonwhite students are the majority, whites the minority. they say that the number of his panics has more that doubled, and the rate of african americans and kauk cachians are relatively the same. >> get this, a united airlines flight from newark to denver had to be converted will two passengers had a spat over leg room. one couldn't decline her seat, because gander a passenger used a knee defender, it prevents of the person in front of you decline, the woman dloou a cup of water. they were removed from police. >> he was in a seat allowing

suicide bombing attack in may. they were part of a wave of foreigners recruited. >> the group by virtue of what is discussed, the fact that they have upwards of 1,000 or 2,000 foreign fighters. the largest of any terrorist movement. >> the pool of recruits reaches as far as the u.k. including a man who beheaded american journalist james foley. britain says the executioner may be one of their own. >> there are many growing up knowing and believing the only way they can be muslims is to create the islamic state. propaganda beautifuling membership. more than 6,000 joined the islamic state. the incentives a salary of 450, money for children and for the

wives. >> douglas mccain was an aspiring rapper, active on social media he was hinting about what was to com, including posting an image of the islamic state group. the signs were there. >> now to an expert on middle east erp terrorism and director of human rites research at the university of dayton. and joins us from dayton. what makes a young man want to leave the country and move to iraq and syria and join groups like the islamic state. >> a sense of identity, a sense of purpose in one life. a sense of belonging to a community, fellow believers. the ideological pull is enormous, potent. islam, for people who are searching for a purpose in their life, may not have opportunities. this is a potent psychological

we had a lot of flooding in the streets, and more flash flooding coming in. the cars moving through, not advised. they did it anyway. still, it will continue to see the flooding here, and that extends all the way to the west as well. this is the forecast. there's more heavy rain from iowa through parts of the northern plains. it could hold together. more rain there. colorado and flash flooding. the area of severe weather is lifting out. this area through kansas and nebraska could be the focus of heavy weather. heavy rain and participation for storm. >> just what you want to hear going into a holiday weekend. >> israel and hamas reaching an agreement to end 50 days of war. we are talking with the palestinian american journalist about the deal, and whether both sides will take by it. >> a budget debate getting

think will lead to a lasting peace. but within the next month, as they prepare to approach the negotiating tables, it's clear that the palestinians have the kind of leverage that they haven't had before. >> is it a war on gaza. two mortars were fired in to israel from gaza, killing two israeli civilians. is the ceasefire going to hold. >> i take your first question, a question i have been asked repeatedly by the american media. it is a question that is fading into oblivion as people look at the astounding damage that the israelis brought on gaza. it's important to remember that damage is not only disproportionate, but it is a function of israel's ongoing colonial project against the palestinians, and the 8-year siege for the territory.

when we look at the process for lasting peace, we have to begin with what the palestinians say, first by hamas, and now on the part of factions. until the project ends, they will be violent and innocent civilians will die. no one on a side has an interest. i don't see any prospects among the leaders for undoing that tightly wound knot that is the result of six decades of occupation. >> why did hamas claim victoriar the ceasefire. >> as people pointed out before. what palestinians in gaza had though do was remain standing. when you live on a... ..in the most densely - one of the most den densely populated place on earth with nowhere to run, there's no joys.

it's not state government that binyamin netanyahu did when he began the bombardment. it's important to remember that israelis dropped 65,000 tonnes worth of munition. more than 38,000 artillery shells, destroying 100,000 homes, obliterated 65 families, basically have laid to ruin 25% of the gaza strip, and the palestinians are standing. that is why they declared victory today. >> a palestinian american journalist joining us from imam, jordan. thank you. >> this is a budget debate in macedonia. it broke out into a fist fight. members of the party going at it. seven lawmakers taking part in the brawl. one of the parliament members had to be treated for an eye injury, and a lot of explaining to do to voters.
