> ukraine's president says a peace deal is possible with pro-russian rebels as talks are expected in belarus. the crisis in ukraine features on day two of the n.a.t.o. summit in wales, tackling the threat of islamic state rebels in iraq and syria is expected to dominate. i'm david foster and you are watching al jazeera live from doha. troubled findings - one in 10 girls have been raped or sexually abused by the age of

20, says the human rights watch. >> a syrian wedding is taking place at the venice film festival. it's not quite what it seems. find out shortly. well, we begin in ukraine. the president petro porashenko says that a peace deal could be agreed to bring to an end months of fighting in the country. peace talks will be held in minsk in belarus, involving ukraine, russia and the pro-russian rebels. also will be members of the o.s.c.e. speaking on thursday, petro porashenko said he would order a ceasefire, hours from now, if the peace talks go ahead. harry fawcett is in mariupol. the advance from russia into that country appears to be going

on. >> it is to be a ceasefire day. there's no sign of a ceasefire just yet. in the last few minutes we have heard more than a dozen shells landing around the eastern fringes at the city of mariupol, and spoke to locals who say shelling has been going on throughout the night. what i have seen from the checkpoint, where we have been pushed back from, is a sorry state of affairs, a handful of ukranian forces, soldiers and others dug in around there. we spoke to tank units who came back from fighting, and they looked exhausted and demoralized. this is a mismatch of forces as we saw travelling out of mariupol yesterday. >> reporter: heavy armour on the move, days after ukraine said there were troops, this is what we saw coming from the russian

border, 11 damages, armored carriers, multilaunch rocket systems, all passing an up to that fell last week, mading to ukrainian territory. >> reporter: this is the main road to mariupol. we were stopped at the first checkpoint by a professional look at fighters. one had a wrist watch set to a russian time zone. apart from the convoy of military vehicles, there has been no kind of military installation before getting to the russian border. now we are told that the travel back down this road is too dangerous. it was clear what that was. this was the assault on a town halfway back to mariupol. the shls were coming down -- shells were coming down close to mariupol's eastern defenses - already looking outgunned. this man's unit had come under

direct fire, losing an armored personnel carrier, he has no doubt who the men were fighting. >> it was the regular russian army. a few help them, but most of them regular soldiers much. >> and vladimir putin and petro porashenko are talking about a ceasefire, and you are hit by artillery, how do you feel about that. >> everyone can see what they say and do. >> i asked a fighter about the extra upseen defenses that the politicians talked of. >> we haven't seen them either. >> reporter: the man in the blue suit is the politician, the kiev-backed governor of donetsk. >> translation: i am sure with tanks and machine-guns they don't plan to make peaceful negotiations. surely they want to seize the territory. they do not have a chance of success.

>> reporter: both sides are talking about a ceasefire, starting friday afternoon. the question is whether mariupol will be in ukranian hands, or succumb like a ukranian poster looks like a relic. >> those tanks i was talking about, there are three tanks. the soldiers say they lost another in fighting. one soldiers told me that he would, and his comrades would stand and fight. he was hopeful that was the impression that there would be reinforcements if the day was to be the real battle. on the other side, if they want to take the city before a ceasefire freezes the conflict, from what we have seen, it's here for the taking. >> thank you very much. harry fawcett there. in the separatest stronghold

of donetsk shelling by the ukranian forces killed one woman. paul brennan is there. this is what he saw. >> the artillery round kale in in the afternoon. people were out and about with their baskets. this describes a residential village. this is a half-finished church, flats, and this is not a military target. this is a grim site. a woman has been killed. she's in her 30s. and you can see the damage. building over there, and behind the fighter, in the corner, you can see the bloodstains down in the corner there. now, we can also look at the craters themselves. one crater there, another is over there. if you stick with this one, the trajectory of these points backwards towards the don esque

international airport, and that is an area that is held by some ukranian forces. >> with a ceasefire hours away, it doesn't seem as though the ukranian government is wanting to win hearts and mind in the east. a coalition of countries combatting extremist groups is up for discussion at the n.a.t.o. summit in wales. world leaders arriving for the second day of a 2-day summit. the conflict in ukraine, and the rise of the islamic state group in iraq and syria dominated the gathering. jonah hull has more from the event in newport. >> reporter: in the south wales countryside n.a.t.o. leaders and partners gathered in the face of world disorder and multiple threats from russia to libya and the rise of the group called the islamic state. two years ago at the last n.a.t.o. summit in chicago, russia's prime minister med def

was a -- dmitry medvedev was a special guest. this year he is the gratest challenge. >> russia is fighting against ukraine, in ukraine. russian troops and tanks are attacking the ukranian forces. and while talking about peace, russia has not made one single step to make peace possible. >> this time ukraine's president is a special guest, looking for support as he prepares for ceasefire talks with pro-russian separatists. ukraine is fighting for peace. ukraine was not initiator of war. ukraine are object of the aggression. and we try to do our best for immediate stop the aggression, immediate stop the fire. >> as a nonmember, ukraine will not benefit from n.a.t.o. military plans being discussed to deter further russian

aggression in eastern europe. on the sidelines of the summed. barack obama and david cameron are working with allies to form a coalition in the fight against is, and iraq and syria. at the summit of the gates antiwar protesters gathered, the message that the only way out of conflict is dialogue. >> most of the people think n.a.t.o. is anabbing ronistic, and should have folded after the end of the cold war. a lot of people in n.a.t.o. seem to be delighted about what is happening between russia and ukraine, and a chance to build up the cold war. >> how do you talk to a group like i.s.i.s. >> difficult, but nothing is impossible. if there is a will, there is a way. >> reporter: the n.a.t.o. summit was supposed to be about the end of one war in afghanistan, where n.a.t.o. will bring combat operations to a close. instead it's about dire threats

to members on multiple fronts. there could be a lot more for antiwar protesters to talk about in future. >> the summit is about n.a.t.o. itself, thrust back into the limelight, a cold war alliance that seemed to lose its relevance. it must now prove its worth. >> diplomatic editor james bays. interesting, while the possibility of peace talks hangs in the air, they are talking, not where you are but in brussels, about further sanctions on russia. >> absolutely. we have got to keep watching lots of different places. we have to watch what is going on here in south wales, where they had a meeting last night down the road in cardiff castle about the challenges of the situation in ukraine, and islamic state. today around the formal north

atlantic table, the meeting of the n.a.t.o. ministers, they have to decide what to do about those two problems. simultaneously as you say, in brussels e.u. ambassador all week have been working up sanctions. what they would be, they could be imposed quickly. the main measure they'll impose will be on the russian oil companies. as the e.u. leaders start arriving in the celtic man or for the morning session. in brussels they talk about russian oil companies and restricting their access to fresh cash on the european capital markets. they have done that to defense companies, and to russian backed. those sanctions, i think depend on what is happening in the third location, and that is minsk where the peace talks are taking place. when they come up with a ceasefire, many are worried

they'll have a frozen conflict, which will benefit the russians, and they'll use that to destabilize ukraine in the future. >> when it comes to the islamic state, are they talking about building a broad coalition? >> they will be talking about that coalition, and david cameron, the u.k. prime minister, and president obama, the u.s. president raised that last night around the table at cardiff castle, at the big banquet that they have. they'll talk about it today. i expect there'll not be many measures to n.a.t.o. level. but n.a.t.o. levels individually are likely to be asked to join a coalition of the willing, that will have western leaders and arab countries. others will be visiting, among them the king of jordan. they are trying to get those people on board, the gulf countries to grand a coalition

of the willing. >> thank you james, we'll be back with you throughout the course of the day. >> talking of islamic state, there has been fighting between iraq forces and forces representings is in the northern city of tikrit. these amateur pictures show a battle to take back the city from the is group. kurdish troops and shia militia and iraqi soldiers recaptured a village south of kirkuk. 10 islamic state were killed. sunni rebels occupied the area for two months but let's go to sue turton in erbil. explain the tactics, of those trying to retake tikrit from the islamic state. >> it's been to explain to me at the moment the iraqi forces,

they are surrounding tikrit as much as they can. they pushed in from the north-east of tikrit, from the villages cleared a few days ago. they are standing firm, 15km from the center. they are waiting for the u.s. jet fighters and iraqi air strikes to come in and soften up tikrit. it is impossible to push until they get help from the air. obviously the artillery is in there. the snipers is large. tlt a hold back. there are clashes to the north of the city, in the university area, but, yes, there's a waiting game. this is what we have seen in the tactics from further east, that they have to rely on the help. this is why when you talk to the peshmerga, they say we cannot be there in any shape or form. >> waiting, sue, tell me if i'm

right or wrong - they don't have the weaponry they were promised. >> they are tearing their hair out. i spoke to the kurdish prime minister saying all the goodwill from the various countries that pledged support, they know the weapons are going into baghdad, but they are not seeing them come up to erbil. they are pleading with baghdad and gave a suggestion - instead of flying them into baghdad and stuck with red tape, maybe, on purpose - maybe not on purpose, who knows - fly them in to erbil, but send up representatives from baghdad to do the checking. they put the request in to baghdad over 15 days ago, and they have not heard back that they are thinking about it, never mind that they are agreeing to it. we were north of mosul, 20-25km north from the front line. they were showing the weapons, many of them don't have ammunition, they are carrying weapons around, not able to

shoot them. they are saying we need to see where the weapons are coming from. we understand the international community is stepping up, saying we want to help. it's not reaching the front lines so far. >> thank you, thank you very much. >> syrian rights groups say government forces have killed 18 foreigners fighting with the islamic state. they were killed in aracka. one of the foreign fighters is believed to be from the united states. a report by the united nations children's agency revealed startling figures. drawing on data from 190 countries, u.n.i.c.e.f. claims that 120 million girls below the age of 20 were forced to have sex in the year 2012. that's one out of every 10 girls. the same year, 95,000 below the age of 20 were murdered.

20% of all homicides globally. and a third of all students between the ages of 13 and 15, one-third, regularly faces bullying in schools. >> we have precious few convictions of people that do these things to children. relative to the numbers of children affected. you know, to use the trafficking example again, for every 800 victims of trafficking, there may be one conviction of someone. the numbers are obskew. and the message to the perpetrators is you can do this and get away with it. coming up, cracking down on the ultimate recess. why -- ultras, why egyptian clubs are going after some fans. and we tell you about the improvised libraries giving purpose to rural bangladeshis.

an art at the stadium, banners, and fireworks, and the coloured cars to make formations in the stadium. but the police doesn't like them, especially the police, because they think that they are violent. they don't obey or listen to them. sometimes they get into fights with each other. sometimes they get into fights with people on opposite teams, and these ultras have been very instrumental in the evolution. they believe genuinely in the badness of the police force and egypt. they are in some kind of a war against them. the leader of the political opposition in mozambique is due to meet the president op friday, after coming out of hiding. he will sign a peace deal with
