leaders from all over the world, it is being called the most important in decades. the state offensive in iraq and syria, and winding down the war, al jazeera diplomatic editor has more now from the meeting in wales. >> this has been called the most crucial meeting and that's because of the range of the current crisis. near the very top of the list, is the situation in the ukraine. and a difficult balancing act for leaders because there are some goaf churrs from russia, suggestions that could be a new cease fire deal. so what we are trying to do is defer further action.

the same as president putin, so the measures have been decided and tailors as the secretary general said, there is support for the ukrainian military. also a new force, now a very very rapid reaction force. the spearhead troops 4,000 of them, tend to be deployed in just two days notice. a number of other issues on the table, and particularly concerning nato leaders is the situation in iraq, and syria, that vast land controlled by the islamic state, well, i don't think nato as a body will get directly involved there, but nato leaders deeply concerned one of those the host leader here david cameron the u. k. prime minister has i believe attacked some of his colleagues to pay

ransomes to islamic state and similar groups. james reporting purse, at the same time at the naval summit. to meet in bela ruise, that's happening tomorrow. both sides say they hope to reach a peace deal, but right now rockets fire, the rockets are being fired and it is underway right now in eastern ukraine. harry watched the tanks rolling in from near the border and has this report. heavy armor on the move, on the day they said there was several troops and hundreds of tanks. accounted 11 battle tanks and a rocket system, and several mobile artillery pieces. heading into ukrainian

territory. >> we were stopped at the first check point, as a very professional group of fighters that had three main battle points. how a wristwatch set to a time zone, and apart from the convoy, military vehicles coming the other way, we have seen no installation before getting to the border. now, we are being told that to travel back down this road is too dangerous. it was soon clear what that danger was. half way back. then the shells will coming down close to the near offenses. already looking seriously outgunned. the unit further advanced the direct fire, losing an oremmoreed personnel carrier, he has no doubt who they are fighting. >> most of them, are

regular soldiers. >> and putin is talking about a cease fire, and you are being hit by artillery. >> everybody can see what he says and what he does. >> ask another fighter about the extra unseen defenses that the politician has talked of. >> we haven't seen them either. the man in the blue suit is the politician in question. now in exile. >> i'm sure that with tanks and machine guns they don't plant to make any peaceful negotiations. surely they want to crease this. friday after. the question is whether by then, mario will still be in ukrainian hands once they come, where ukrainian government postner the main square, already looks like a

historical relic, and an early soviet era is twitching back to life. for containing the state group, one thing is clear, iraq needs help. it estrones are trying to retake for the third time. these pictures were apparently shot on tuesday. rebels claim the video shows the aftermath of the attack, and the government shoulders. soldiers. josh has more. >> heavy fighting continues today, the iraqi army there fighting members of the islamic state, and sunni tribes. sunni strong hold, this is sudan's hometown, the possession has gone back and forth, a number of times. it is also the location for spiker air base,s this is where the islamic state reportedly according to their own reports killed 1700

shiite iraqi army. that's earlier this year. mass graves have been found there, the u.n. sending a team to investigation what's happened there, as that battle continues this is seemed to be a precursor of the larger battle to come. in the north of the country, these would be the last two or the largest two remaining strong holds. meanwhile the politicals in baghdad, continue to be a struggle between the shiite parties, with the curds playing the middle group, those politics are playing out on the ground, here in iraq as we see in the fighting today. >> between the conflicts in iraq and ukraine, and other concerns in the middle east, leaders have a long on their plate. tony article five, says it's members should consider an armed attack

upon one to be an attack upon them all, initially the likely opponent was the soviet union, and the republic russia. nato is now concerned. >> the fall of the berlin wall, the symbolic end of the cold war, marked the beginning of a new war for nato. initially the u.s. canada and western europe formed europe to counter the threat, and it's communist block nations. this was the political landscape at the end of the cold war. nato nations in blue, the soviet union and it's allied in red. but today, the alliances are vastly different. nato's 28 member mayses include many that are former allies of the soviet union, including poland. but some of the old conflicts the threat from russian ambitions and new crisis from libya to afghanistan, to islamic

state, pose new challenges for the old alliance. >> our nato summit here in wales will be one of the most important summits in the history of our lives. >> in the past two decades nato has expanded it's mission beyond mutual defense members. sending forcing where they remain to this day. in 2011, nato also intervined in libya, but despite that, both libya and afghanistan remain in turmoil. leaders remember the day of previous wars and say they are looking to avoided another in ukraine. as well as to the threat to the islamic state in

iraq. i do believe in the international community as a whole, that has an obligation, to stop the islamic state from advancing further. >> nato secretary general says an expanded role for the organization, will require more defense funding for member states more training exercises, and new partnerships. one of the many challenges the recommendation is for moneys to spent at least 2% of their gross domestic product on defense. last year, only four countries the u.s., the u.k., astone yeah, and greece reached that goal. >> randall pinkston, appreciate it, thank you. the justice department launched an investigation into the ferguson missouri police department today. attorney general eric holder says the probe will look at the department's police practices. and the investigation comes after michael brown unarmed black teenager was killed by a ferguson my last month. two shooting set off

weeks of unrest, usher has more. police have to take a hard look at reforming their practices. >> i want to be clear, this is not a stop gap or a short term solution. it is a long term strategy. >> hands up, don't shoot. >> it's been nearly a month since the fatal shooting of michael brown, set off a week of angry protests. and the deep seeded disinstruction of a police department, that's almost all white. that led the department of justice to open a civil rights investigation, into the shooting now it will look at the whole police department. in ferguson, our investigation will assess the police department's use of force, including deadly force. it will analysis stops, searches, and arrests. and it will exam the treatment of individuals detained at ferguson's city jail. in addition to other potentially

discriminatory policing techniques and tactics that have been brought to life. >> in 1994, the violent crime control and law enforcement act, gave the d. a.j. civil rights division the authority to investigate state and local law enforcement agencies for unconstitutional patterns. that would include getting rid of the police officer whose regularly engage in unconstitutional conduct. it could involve getting rid of discharging terminated supervisory personnel who have been turning a blind eye. so the remedy can go from the very bottom, through the very top. >> two years ago, the d.o.j. lawful add civil rights invest intuition into the death of trayvon martin. george zimmerman shot him to death after an altercation, but was acquitted. that federal investigation remains open.

in a scathing report, investigators documented a history of unnecessary force. the courts are now overseeing reforms in albuquerque. a law professor at i.i.t. kept school of law, whose expertises is in constitutional law and civil rights violations involving police. >> these are typically explosive situations, politically, and emotionally, and otherwise. so this will take weeks i will probably take months in the last five years the justice department has launched 20 investigations into the practices of police departments. in a statement, the city of ferguson say it welcomes the investigation and says it has been working to be transparent, as it continues the process of earning back the trust, and while the unrest is over, some residents say the underlying aingeer and frustration, won't be quelled unless real changes are made. another attempted escape,

32 teenagers break out of their dorms. they managed to escape. most were quickly caught, but some reare mained at large. the agency said the center is currently short about 14 staff members. >> there are vacancies that are very difficult fortous find people. we have not let up on trying to find people. people will tell you we have cut back because it -- because you can't find people to work here. >> the detention center has a long history of problems. and there have been allegations of sexual assault by staff, in 2010, the justice department ranked the facility 13th among juvenile centers with reports of sexual abuse by staff. >> you make it better by having our staff do good work. you make it better by making sure the kids are p prokerly classified. you are making sure the kids get the services they need. that there's no single

fix for this. >> the detention center staff has been criticized for waiting nearly 90 minutes to call police, after first learning of the escape. the department of children services is promised to review it's policies, while some lawmakers are asking whether this facility is the right place to house some of the state's most dangerous young inmates. jonathan martin, al jazeera. the ebola virus has now claimed nearly 2,000 lives. nearly half of all of those infected now comes forth as the latest citizen to fall ill, will be returning to the united states. dr. rick -- teaches at the university of massachusets medical school, he will be treated at the nebraska medical center. he is expected to arrive there tomorrow. he went to liberia early last month to help treat patients. the shifting hand said of the midterm elections and the former virginia governor now faced time in prison, those stories coming up next, with david schuster and today's power politics report.

is your reading on this, is there a deal or not between the russians and ukrainians to end the fighting. >> well, there isn't a deal yet. and there have been many suggests that he is prepared to deescalate, at least when he is prepared to acknowledge in some way even indirectly that russian forces are supporting the separatists and in fact, making this insurgency possible. but a lot of times his moves towards accommodation, or deescalation, are taken at a moment when europe and the united states are getting ready to amp up sanctions or take other steps in an effort to take the wind out of his sails. of the strong action. so we need to see what happened. the ukrainian president has said he is prepared for a cease fire.

if russia does two simple things withdraw it's troops and seal the border. >> that's not what russia is offing right now, in it's 7-point plan. how much pressure do you think is on this meeting? to nail down some kind of a cease fire? >> well, i think you know, he is unionly open, to a genuine offer by moscow. what is much less clear, what is really unclear, and why everybody is doubtful, or skeptical, is that putin so far has been unwilling, even to acknowledge that he is a party to this conflict. >> so here is what i am watching as i am watching the news conference today. how infuriating would it be to hear the president talking about steps to be taken to apply for nato

membership. i would think that would have been infuriating for president putin? >> well, nato needed to be clear, and it has been, that outside countries don't get to decide who becomes a nato member. and nato and president obama made clear that note toe's door remains open to qualified countries that can contribute to security. and nato and ukraine have a relationship that's not a member state, but a relationship of long standing, and i think it was symbolically and otherwise important that he was in wales to meet with the nato leaders. but nato has been clear that they are not offering a nato membership to ukraine now. >> right. >> because for a variety of reasons but the priority now has to be, and i think this is a priority also that is
