the city of mosul. this man came home to find this. the group's fighters moved into the village in mid-august. they did not only use the house as a base. he tells me theyate whatever food they found and used their clothes. they didn't give up without a fight. this is an organization that u.s. officials say is beyond anything they have seen. those who engaged in combat say they faced well-trained fighters. >> they placed a few snipers in different houses, and they just - all the way, the roads, goods, the tnt. >> the islamic state may have been pushed back from the mosul dam and surrounding areas, but it is far from defeated. kurdish forces and elements of the army didn't win the battle alone.

dozens of air strikes supported the counteroffensive. air power does damage. it may have been an option here, but it's not always the case. the islamic state group controls cities, population centers. using air strikes there would cause mass casualties. the kurds have been battling on the front, but not na their stronghold. iraqis and former members are fighting alongside the group known as arabs. >> most of the relatives here, they are sunni, and they - they support the people here, where absolutely they were disappointed in government, at the revenge action. i think they supported these people. >> reporter: the air campaign slowed the progress in this corner of iraq. is, which is armed with u.s. equipment stolen from the iraqi

army controls territory in syria, where the obama administration administration lacks local allies. the war needs to be caught on the ground, on both sides of the border. it is a challenge, since the governments in iraq and syria are not seen as legitimate by the sunnis. >> and jane arraf joins us live from erbil. the international community is scaling up its involvement in iraq. the australians are now also getting involved. how has that been receive, and what impact is it having on the ground? >> it's a major development on the fight for amorally. the ministry for defense say the forces, backed by shi'a militias, they don't call them that, but that is what they are, have reached the outskirts of that town. it's confirmed by sources on the ground, following u.s. air strikes mere amorally in a widening of the u.s. air campaign. that campaign, including

humanitarian aid drops widened as well. okay, thank you very much for the moment. jane arraf reporting live from erbil. moving on to other world news, the united nations is negotiating for the syrian rebels. the troops from fiji are among hundreds monitoring the line between the golan height and the syrian held area. more on this story, let's go to mike hanna, live from jerusalem. a great deal of concern about the fate of the peacekeepers, and the al nusra front, the syrian rebel group issued a statement. indeed, yes, the al nusra confirmed that it is holding u.n. peacekeepers at an unidentified location somewhere in syria. it is believed it has released the identity documents of 45 fijian peacekeepers captured

last week when the syrian fighters pulled over into the zone, which u.n. troops have been monitoring in terms of syria and israel. the al nusra front says the u.n. has been backing the calls for the damascus regime and indicates that these peacekeepers will be handled as a bargaining chief. they have not made clear there's negotiation with the al nusra front, but makes clear that the u.n. is reaching out to intermediaries to help the p process. >> we try to use possible ways and means to cope with them. we are trying to get support from the countries, from when they have influence over the

other groups. i'm more or less optimistic that they'll be released. well, the people who he is referring to, those that may have influence over the armed group - not particularly clear, remembering that al nusra is a sunni organization, to the u.n. clearly in control with countries that may or may not is a degree of direct influence over the al nusra itself. so the situation in the golan heights exceedingly insecure. there has been a number of peacekeepers removed from their bases within the golan heights itself. some 80 - the peacekeepers - sorry, filipino peacekeepers were evacuated in separate operations, one group moved out by a force who secured a safe corridor to the fhas which they were -- base which they were

stationed, moving them out through the ongoing area. a second large group came under fire at one stage. overnight, in some kind of informal ceasefire, they marched out of their base, link up with the u.n. forces and then move back to the major u.n. base which is actually in the israeli occupied part of the golan. the u.n. clearly consolidating its deployment force, its monitoring force in the golan height, and amidst the security and future of the peacekeepers, there's a question about the future of the mission that lasted for four decades. >> thank you very much. that's al jazeera's mike hanna reporting live from jerusalem. and in a separate development. the al qaeda-linked al nusra front linked all soldiers and a police officer, captured a month ago. they say pictures showed the moment men were reunited request

their families. they were taken on an accuracy-border raid on a lebanese town. they are holding 29 other soldiers and police. israel's prime minister says he will run through another term in office. binyamin netanyahu made the announcement during a television interview, there has been speculation about the prime minister's political future. >> now, to pakistan where there has been more fighting between protesters and the police. it comes after a day of violence that left three dead and more than 300 injured. thousands are calling for the prime minister to step down. let's get the latest from kamal hyder joining us live from islamabad. a tense situation. bring us up to speed with the latest. what has been happening? >> well as we speak the clashes between the protesters and the police continued outside parliament. we have heard that the prime

minister, who had gone, is on his way back to islamabad to hold a high-level meeting before the crisis. when the protesters were peaceful, tens of thousands of police men were brought in, after the clashes, they tried their level best to bring the crowds under control, but it appears that the protesters were going nowhere. >> in islamabad these protesters stand their ground and staged their sit in for two weeks, but will not go until the prime minister nawaz sharif resigns. >> translation: we will not return until we achieve our objective. the government has no ethical justification for what it has done. it doesn't have a legal justification for its existence. the demonstrators are led by the anti-government cleric, saying

he's seeking justice for his followers killed by police, and opposition leader imran khan, who accuses the prime minister of corruption and electoral fraud. >> translation: i will lead the way. i will march ahead of everyone else, and stop my people becoming unruly, and ask the pakistani police and army to remain peaceful. >> with allah's help, move towards your final destination, maintain peace. maintain my credibility. there should be no violence, no destruction. god willing, you will win this war with peaceful means. >> that message was disregarded on saturday night. protesters broke through the lines, stairing down the out of walls of parliament. police fired tear gas and rubber bullets. the army was called in to

protect state buildings. the military has taken over in times of civil unrest. this time there appears to be little appetite for a coup. >> the pakistani military established that they are in any combative position to run the government. when they do that they failed, and left pakistan in a more problematic situation. >> reporter: it's down to people power. it's the fires government tain over by people power, whether it remains peaceful or not is critical to pakistan's future. >> you talked about the pakistani army in the report, and pakistan is a powerful army that stepped in in the past. any indication as to whose side it's on. >> when the crisis began, the military asked the politicians

to resolve their issues, and said that force should not be used each as a last option. the military will be watching carefully. the military is involved in a major operation in north waziristan, and it's resources are used elsewhere, also on the eastern border. it appears that the military is reluct able to. if the situation escalates, if there's more violence spreading to other parts of the country, perhaps the military would not have any other choice but to step in. at the moment the military is not interested in getting into the political fight that is going on here in islamabad. >> kamal hyder reporting from islamabad. >> you can vote, but we'll choose who you vote for. that's the message from china's

leaders who insist they have a right to choose candidates. the former british colony wants free elections. let get the details from adrian brown. the standing committee of parliament has been making the announcement, announcing what they want for hong kong. tell us about what they said. >> well, this decision was made unanimously, not surprisingly, by the standing committee of the national people's congression. what they have been doing is essentially clarifying how much democracy they are prepared to tolerate in hong kong. they have ruled that basically hong kong can have an election for its next chief executive in 2017. china will essentially decide who the candidates will be. they have to be approved by a nominating committee that china will vet. this guarantees that there'll be no unpleasant surprises when there is an election in hong kong.

now, china has always said that hong kong would have an election, and this is its definition of universal sufferage, basically a committee deciding who the candidates would be, and no more than two or three candidates. at the national people's press conference after the decision was made, it was made clear at the press conference, that this decision was in the best interests of hong kong, and in the best interests of china, in terms of its security. over the weekend we have had some reports in the official media, essentially accusing foreign forces unnamed foreign forces of meddling in hong kong affairs, trying to stir up trouble, and trying to turn hong kong into a sort of hub of subversion. china has spoken. it hopes that hong kong will listen. >> will they listen, let's speak to rob mcbride. what is the response to the

announcement from beijing there? >> they have certainly been listening here, and have not liked what they have heard. the civil society groups what are planning their campaign of civil disobedience, they held a joint news conference with legislators here in the min joy parliament, the -- miniparliament, the legislative parliament, and said that the campaign will go ahead. they haven't said exactly how it will be conducted, but it's likely not to be one campaign held immediately. they are likely to plan strategically smaller protests over the coming weeks. they are waiting to see how that plays out. joining me here is the legislator, who has been involved with this campaign. you have not been surprised by what you heard. was there a hope that there would be a last minute change of heart. >> we were sat and angry.

we have been fighting for democracy for 30 years, and now comes this decision. and this mends that, the national congression is going to kill all of true democracy, and states that the nomination committee, controlled by beijing, will have a roll of screening a candidate. how can we accept that. and you can accept that, the pandemic, vote it down, and sadly so even if we vote it doup, it doesn't mean we'll have any progress towards the future. by having a civil disobeet yet movement, having a campaign, be will night back. how many people will come out on the street. hundreds, thousands? >> we expect hundreds of thousands. we have half a million people on the streets. now with the killing of true democracy by the national people's congress, not living up

to their promise, people are angry, and we expect them to come out and some of them will - together with us, will occupy central, even if we are rested, we'll continue the struggle for true democracy. >> they have announced the start of their campaign, it goes on. it has to be said it's a polarizing issue. there are those that want full democracy. there are those tens of thousands that came out on to the street in a pro-government rally. it is a polarizing issue, and we expect to see more in the coming weeks. >> thank you rob mcbribe. still ahead on the al jazeera newshour. south korea is attracting thousands of chinas tourists, plus for the economy, but not everyone is happy about it. we explain why, plus... >> i'm out at sea with tunisia's coast guard. i'll be reporting on the

conflict as people try to escape the fighting there. >> goals are plenty as chelsea charge to the top of the english premier league. that story in sport. to somalia, there has been an attack on a national intelligence facility in mogadishu. a suicide car bomber rammed the gates of the building and detonated. the blast was followed by gun battles. al-shabab said it's behind the attack and fighters are inside the building. >> staying with africa, lesotho's deputy prime minister reportedly has taken control following what appears to be an attempted coup in the nation. the prime minister is in south africa, and the south african president jacob zuma called a regional security meeting in pretoria to resolve the crisis.

paim has -- tania page has been covering the story from lesotho's capital maseru. the deputy prime minister will take over the reins of the country and run it while the prime minister is in south africa. he denied that it is a coup. the prime minister tom thabane insists that the military attempted a coup. the military denies it. this is where it started, the police station behind me, where the military came, where shots were fired. a police officer was killed, three injured, and a soldier injured. it seems as if it could have been injured by an attempt by the government to sack the sitting commander of the military. he refused to give up his post. quite a confused picture, particularly for the people here of maseru and lesotho. we talked to some, they are afraid that this is far from

over. they want a return of the democratically elected coalition government, and do not want to see a repeat of what happened in the 1990s where south africa sent troops on the ground when there was a coup, and dozens were killed. no suggestions that troops will be sent here. lesotho's big brother insisting that it about not tolerate a coup, it must be resolved immediately. >> russia and ukraine carried out a swap of soldiers. russia returned after entering by mistake. it handed over paratroopers, presented at evidence of a russian invasion. more from mariupol. >> reporter: the exchange of soldiers is a positive sign. the 10 soldiers were the russians who, the evidence was placed that the russians were on

ukranian soil. the paratroopers were paraded, effectively showing the ukranian authorities, what they say was a russian invasion. we had them, and ukranian soldiers, exchanged in return. the signs are positive all around. in the town encircled by spiritist fighters, ukrainian soldiers are trapped. we are told that 14 did make it out. the rest are prisoners of the separatist fighters there. we heard on friday, saturday, that there had been a humanitarian corridor was created but the soldiers were caught in a crossfire. it's an indication of how chaotic the situation in eastern ukraine is. >> one child has been killed and 10 others injured after an

explosion this a suburb of paris. the french interior ministry believes the blast was caused by a gas leak. emergency officials are working to pull people out of the rubble, and 10 people could be trapped. >> iceland has raised the aviation warning to the highest level of red following an eruption at the bardabunga vol gaino. there's an air traffic ban around the mountain. government monitors say the eruption has not caused an airport on the island to close. time for a check on the weather with richard. it's the end of summer in europe. >> it's beginning to look that way. you lose the light. if you have decent days, you don't have much of brilliant sunshine. if you look at the satellite, we see a trend. certainly behind this weather system we have colder air pulling in, and we see heavy

rain associated with it, up towards southern sweden. if we look at the forecast. we are pulling the winds in from the north, across the u.k. temperatures 18 and cooler up north. a swathe of rain across parts of scandinavia, and across the low countries, extending to northern parts of italy. as i run the forecast, you see the area of rain pushing to the south and the east. for-of italy, austria, it looks as though, as we head into monday, it will be a wet picture. we have fine weather across south-east of europe. around the black sea coast. ankara looking at 34 degrees. we hang on to the fine weather. ukraine is not looking too bad. you get further north to moscow. here it will be cooler. going to the other side of the mediterranean sea, fine conditions. cloud is pushing across northern parts of al jazeera, the chance

still live here, locked up inside. this is a relative, wearing surgical gloves. he says the family inside fears neighbour's reaction if they come out. it's not just the family, it's the neighbourhood. this is a working class area, with many migrants going no the city to work. now there's a confirmed case in the neighbourhood, they fear people will be scared. this woman can't get to work. taxis no longer stop here. why hasn't the ministry of help distributed equipment. why haven't officials come to visit us? >> the local health officers left and the clinic closed off indefinitely. investigators are trying to identify and test people that may be infected. some are left.

there's a growing sense of unease that a killer virus is gaping ground over the -- gaining ground over the neighbourhood. all right, still ahead on the newshour - instead of protesting - ukrainians and russians lay aside their differences at a music festival. >> i'm here with a highway village has been transformed into a hub of japanese manufacturing. in sport, rory mcilroy looks to chase down the leaders of the season-ending fed ex cup. robin will have the details later. stay with us.

the problem politically. by saying that they stay away by doing that, they allow imran khan to stay away. they are saying if the prime minister doesn't rein, there's no way that i'm going. he movement people close to the prime minister's house, office, and, you know, when he goes there, the pressure sure increases with thousands of people, and the army is looking and watching what is happening. it's a failure on behalf of the parties. >> what is the root cause of the crisis. we heard accusations of corruption and fraud. is if just about that, or are there other underlying issues? >> well, i think it's more than that. this is one of the causes, and

there are other things. the government has been poor at governance, and that has brought about a lot of discontent amongst the public, and that's why they think it's good if the government goes. it is the fact that imran khan has become too ambitious, and i do not know what is the agenda area of mr tahir ul-qadri, who seems to come every six months and create havoc. and they seem to want to destabilize the system. a large number says if imran khan and tahir ul-qadri has administrativance, they should work within the democratic system, which is already fragile. if you damage the system, pakistan will be back to the '90s, when the military has been taking over directly or indirectly. >> a fragile system. how do you see the crisis ending.

will the government be able to five. can they find a political settlement. >> we are wishing that to happen. it doesn't come true, probably, if iran is that inflexible. i get a feeling unless imran khan shows a degree of flexibility, there is in no way out, except that the military will have to intervene, and the structure will be damaged, and so too the politicians, and pakistan will go back into a military direct or indirect dictatorship. >> thank you for sharing your views with us. former islamic general joining us live. in libya 10 soldiers dead, 25 wounded after fighters launch rockets at an airport in
