? >> >> announcer: this is al jazeera. hello, welcome to the newshour. we are live in douhdoha. coming up in the next 60 minutes, defeating the islamic state group - secretary of state john kerry arrives. many commanders killed in a blast from the rebels in syria. ebola is causing a serious threat to the company's existence. and mystery solved - an

explorer's ship that vanished in the arctic more than 160 years ago is found. secretary of state john kerry is in baghdad to meet the new iraqi prime minister haider al-abadi. the trip comes hours ahead of a live televised address by the u.s. president. president obama is expected to announce a new strategy to tackle the islamic state group, which currently controls a third of iraq. kerry will visit jordan, and saudi arabia, where king abdullah is hosting a meeting. the coalition include nine mostly european counties, as well as the united states. in a moment we'll be speaking live to our correspondent in jordan. first to john hendren, in the iraqi city of erbil for us. there has been a lot of american pressure on the iraqis to form a

government. john kerry in baghdad. what is on the agenda there. what is he hoping to achieve? >> john kerry is here, first of all, to show support for the 2-day old administration of haider al-abadi. he will likely continue to press haider al-abadi to make this an inclusive government including all groups as the cabinet gets filled out and other positions are announced. he is likely, as we told by state officials, about what the officials can do to support iraq. they can include things like airlift and logistics, continued air strikes as we have seen, intelligence, and we don't know what other options could be considered. there may be things consequent the military options. kerry has been working up a

coalition of partners, european partners to cooperate in the effort and he'll be coordinating on that. what is likely to be the reaction in iraq, the air strikes and the suspected larger involvement in iraq? >> the official reaction from iraqi military has been positive. they believe the u.s. air strikes have held push back the islamic state groups in a number of spots, including in northern iraq. if you talk to people on the street, they are equivocal about the u.s. role, at best, saying first of all the united states helped to create the problem by leaving and creating the vacuum that now has left the islamic state with large swaths of territory here, and there are others that say u.s. air strikes are a partial contributor. it's clear that the advance of

iraqi troops coincided with the air strikes. nevertheless, a lot of that work has to be done on the ground by iraqi troops. while we don't know if there were u.s. special forces, we know the bulk is kurdish peshmerga, iraqi troops and shi'a militia. john hendren in erbil. john kerry is expected in jordan, tell us about the significance of jordan to the conflict, and what do they get out of being involved in the coalition against the islamic state? >> well, jordan is a strategic ally and a major u.s. partner fighting terrorism and has been for many years. it's provided the u.s. with intelligence information in the region. it's let the u.s. use military bases in the north-east of the country during the 2003 invasion

of iraq. officials are tight-lipped about the nature of the role that jordan would and could play to combat the islamic state group, we expect that jordan will have a role, and expect that it would have an important role, that's because jordan is an important ally for the u.s. in the region, and has two troubling borders, a 375km border with syria, and 180km with iraq, where islamic state fighters control land. we perhaps believe that part of john kerry's visit ahead of the summit, the more important one, is to discuss issues relating to borders with jordan before obama, the u.s. president, outlines his strategy for fighting the islamic state group. the borders are secure for now. there's a fear that jordan could become a target for the islamic state group. another role that jordan may be

able to play is the political one, jordan is a sunni country enjoying relationships with the iraqi tribes, especially those in the anbar province, they have become disenchanted, especially after several years of nouri al-maliki's rule. jordan could play a role in getting the sunni tribes on board with the u.s., which said any effort to weaken or crackdown on the islamic state group should include strengthening the disenchanted and disappointed sunni tribes. perhaps a political role for jordan, maybe an intelligence and a military role because of where it's situated on the border with syria and iraq. while president obama says he has the authority to take action against the islamic state group, without congressional approval. he met with leaders in

washington to discuss plans about confronting the rebels. patty culhane has more on what the president's plans may look like. >> reporter: it's a setting and time meant to convey urgency it the nation, a prime-time speech from the white house urging the country to pay attention. what the president says matters. we know the basic message when it comes to his plans for the islamic state group. >> the next phase is to start going on some offense. >> reporter: the president laid out what that means and doesn't. he says it doesn't mean boots on the ground. analysts say that doesn't always mean what is said. >> if the president wants to find flexibility in his language, he has the option of sending several thousand forces that can be mentor, special forces and do some raids. >> it's expected the president

will call for air strikes in iraq, and eventually, possibly, into syria as well, for the u.n. to cut off the flow of foreign fighters and funny. the u.s. will try to get the sunni tribes to side with the state groups and offered moderate help in syria - something promised before with little results. he has the support of the american people. 91% of those asked believe the islamic state group is a threat to the united states, and 53% believes the president has been too cautious. the president and expected to warn that the fight could take a while. and experts think that will work, but only for a time. >> it will resonate for listeners at the moment, but listeners forget when situations change and rule on. that will not be something that will be takened over time.

the public will get tired of on ongoing military effort. this is what needs to be taken on, to win, but it is a fight. no one can say when it might end or at what cost. the entire leadership of one of syria's biggest group has been killed. hassan abboud has been fighting the syrian government and islamic state group. 41 died in an explosion. stefanie dekker reports. >> reporter: a large number of ahrarial-sham's leadership gone. details are unclear. some blamed the islamic state group. it was said most died of

asphyxiation. the leader, hassan abboud is on the right. no one shamed responsibility, it could have been a mistake, and there are consequences. >> this attack, the killing within the group benefits both of those actors we have seen continuously getting stronger, i.s.i.s., or the islamic state. and the syrian government. hassan abboud was a highly important figure. and sat down for an interview last december. >> translation: christians have the absolute freedom to practice their religion. we protect them. the head of state, according to islam should be a muslim. if you look at our history, we protected christian property. what is ahrarial-sham.

>> it's the biggest member of the alliance, a coalition that is fighting the islamic state, and syrian government troops. it has units across the country, including damascus, homs and aleppo. it is inspired by a politicized version of islam. unlike al qaeda, it does not seek to take the war behind syria. it has good relations with the army. the loss of the leader will no doubt be a major blow not only for ahrarial-sham but the alliance. there has been chilling words from liberia's defence minister. he says ebola is devouring everything in its path in his country, liberia is struggling to contain the violence which has claimed 2,296 lives. 1,200 have died in liberia. the death toll is rising in

guinea. the situation is such as severe in sierra leone where a doctor contracted the virus. senegal has not recorded deaths, but three patients are being upon tored. in nigeria, eight have died. >> reporter: there's no escaping the ebola warnings across west africa. people travelling through freetown international airport in sierra leone are subject to medical checks. over the border in guinea, where the outbreaks were struck, security barriers are being set up around schools, with the president issuing an urgent call. >> this is a war. there won't be a civil war in guinea, that i can guarantee you. today it is a war against ebola. everyone must participate in this battle. >> it's liberia that has been hardest hit. it, alone, accounts for more than half of all cases and

fatalities. >> the ebola virus caused a disruption of the normal functioning of our states. the disease was identified in the remote villages of our countries, and reached urban centers including the capital of mon rovia, it's spreading like widefire. >> the who warns liberia will likely face many thousands of new infactions in the next three weeks. there has been an appeal for bans to be lifted and reopen borders to ease the movement of much-needed supplies. >> we regret that some of our african brothers and sisters have taken actions disproportionate. vis-a-vis the magnitude of the problem, some of which border on stigmatization. >> reporter: this is the works outbreak of ebola. the disease associated with

poverty. the countries at the heart of the epidemic are among the poorest and don't have enough access to hospitals or doctors. access to clean water is challenging. leaders say they need help against something that threatens national existence. world health organisation spokesman joins us now on the line from geneva. thank you for speaking to us. alarming words from liberia's defence minister. what is the assessment of the teams on the ground? >> well, exactly. what has been fed by liberia officials, we are facing a serious situation in all of the affected countries, but most specifically in liberia, where we have a number of cases rising by day. we have transmission chains going on in every part of the country and don't have enough areas where these people could be provided care in a faithful

manner. every type of person out there in the community, this person is likely to affect more people and we join the appeal from the president of these countries in calling to everyone in the international community to show solidarity, to provide resources, experts, material, so we can try really to pour in all that what is needed to try to chase every infected person to be treated and reduce the risk of transmission. >> the who said non-conventional intervention is needed in a country like liberia. what does that entail? >> that means we'll have treatment centers that would be equipped with medical personnel and equipment. this was okay and this was

feasible in a limited outbreak that happened so far. what you are seeing now, with a number of cases is we need to sow how we can geographically introduce ebola caring unit. so basically people do not have to travel a long time. how it is involved and how it can be put. basic patients would be given hydration. so basic care, and getting it out of the community. really, it is about new approaches involving more of the community assistance. >> thank you for speaking to us, spokesman for the world health organisation. he was on the line from geneva. coming up on the al jaseera newshour, thousands stranded by flood water as a rescue

operation is launched in india. plus - better together. the british prime minister heads to scotland for last-minute campaigning. can he convince them to stay. qualifying for the african cup of nation continues on wednesday. despite the ebola outbreak hitting football on the continent. joe will have the details. first, ukraine's president promised to introduce a bill to parliament that would offer greater autonomy to rebellious regions in eastern ukraine. petro porashenko said the regions would be a part of ukraine, and rejected the idea of federalization. the president says a ceasefire between pro-russian separatists and ukranian troops is holding. russia moved 70% troops back across the border to eastern ukraine. >> translation: i want to update

you on the latest information i received. 70% of russian forces pulled back across the border. this gives a firm home that peaceful initiatives have a future. >> amnesty international says it has evidence of war crimes on both sides of the conflict. peter, what has amnesty found? >> well, the report makes for distressing reading, actually. it's a result of a 2-week investigation with dozens of amnesty researchers on the ground in eastern ukraine. it says it is now an international conflict, and russia is part of that conflict. the ceasefire is shaky and drought with danger, because of the violation that both sides are committing in the conflict. russia, it says, is fuelling the conflict by supporting and supplying arms to separatist

groups violating human rights. amnesty says it obtained testimony and aerial images, showing russian artillery inside the borders with ukraine, and says that this makes russia a part of this conflict and details unpleasant scenes on the ground much residents told amnesty international that a pastor was captured, the family and parishioners, and were offered for ransom. before the villagers could come up with the money, they were executed. depressing reading from this report, in an area where we have seen more than 2,500 killed, and more than 6,000 civilians injured. what are the ukrainians being accused of, peter? >> the ukrainians are accused in

the same report that an ada volunteer battalion, a militia, has been accused of abductions, ransoms, tore future and general abuse. there's nothing more, the ukrainian forces also coming under attack, with the ukranian military coming under shelling from civilian areas. >> the united nations is denying reports that china deployed 700 peacekeepers to protect the oil fields. it comes a week after a un helicopter was shot down, killing three crewmen. days before a conversation was intercepted with a chilling warning from a rebel commander.

that was a rebel command area accusing the u.n. -- commander accusing the u.n. of using app aircraft. an use denied by the u.n. shortly after this intercept was recorded a u.n. helicopter was shot down over the area, killing three of the russian crew on board. >> the u.n. base near to the crash site was home to the tens of thousands who took refuge there. u.n. helicopters fly in, bringing cargo in support of humanitarian and peacekeeping operations. >> we were to hope that the provision leadership.

if it is shelved, that their forces on the ground were responsible for this unprovoked attack, would hold their own elements responsible and meet out a suitable punishment. >> reporter: in april hundreds were killed in a south sudanese town of bentiu. pete cadet, a rebel leader, is believed to have been responsible. he has been sanctioned by the u.s. and the e.u. as a result. the sanctions seem to have had little impact. nuclear regulators in japan gave approval for two reactors to restart. the sendi power plant is the first to meet safety standards following the fukushima disaster. all 39 reactors are offside. the sensi plant must obtain

local approval and past testing. there's about no let up in the chaos of indian administered kashmir. 4,000 are trapped. an operation to rescue them is under way. >> reporter: it's now a full-scale rescue operation. with a break in the weather thousands of military personnel have been deployed around indian administered kashmir, so help the estimated 400,000 people stranded. most of these people have been waiting for such help since the rain and floodings. >> we live on the other side. >> i came back from a trip. >> translation: i have nowhere to go. we have been waiting here since saturday for help. >> he is one of many waiting for days. >> this brim was washed out on

saturday, cutting off 150,000 and dozens of villages. people have been coming to the edge, saying there's no electricity. the army arrived and they started rescuing people by boat, and are building a bridge hoping to get more people out. >> the situation is similar, and worse for many. rains and landslides hit the roads and bridges in several areas, cutting people off from help. on tuesday aid came in for some by air. with the number of villages this is the only help they can expect for now. but for the many rescued the situation is not much better. small and large relief centres like this has been set up in the region. the families lost their homes and possessions when rising water levels flooded their housing. these people do not know what

will happen to them, and are too scared to return. the water was chest high. they've given us food, what about the schooling. what will we do afterwards. i'm not going back. >> reporter: government officials say the focus at the moment is to help those trapped by floodwaters, building up life lines before making plans to rebuild. in neighbouring pakistan weather forecasters say flooding is expected. more than 200 people have already died and thousands are stranded. pakistan's prime minister and army chief visited the worst-hit areas, promising help. heavy rain is blamed for a building collapse that killed 24 people in lahore. of the roof of the mosque caved in, burying worshippers. let's get an update on the

world weather. everton, have the rains stopped over northern india and pakistan. >> i'm pleased to say they have stopped for the time being, there's a chance for the odd shower. look at the satellite. you see clear skies to the far nearby corner of pakistan. as i move, you see the odd bit of cloud popping up. there was the chance of one or two showers. the waters are slowly but surely starting to recede. the wetter whether is further south, across a good part of the area, pushing into the northern areas. heavier showers over the next few days. i noticed wet weather standing up a good part. it remains that way as we go on through the coming days. heavier rain is further south. rain into eastern africa, to the east.

heavy rainfall. 103mm. matt has inevitably -- that has inevitably led to flooding. see how the showers drive west. right across the central parts of africa as per usual. heavy showers from the ethiopia highlands into the gulf and into west africa. it is fine, try, warm and sunny. plenty of sunshine across southern parts of africa. >> thank you everton. in over a week, scotland will vote on whether to breakaway from the u.k. opinion wols show both sides are neck and neck, surprising many politicians. the british prime minister is in edinburgh for last-minute campaigning. we have more from the scottish capital. >> for so many months, the message from westminster to scotland is don't vote for independence, we'll make your life difficult, you can't share the pound, you won't be able to

join the european union, it's a bad idea. that has not worked, as we now. in edinburgh the leaders from london, including david cameron are coming here with the opposite message, the message being for the u.k., not scotland, but the u.k., would be damaged if the great and glorious scotland was to go, and it would be damaged on the world stage. a reversal of messaging, almost trying to make the scots feel guilty, it seems to me, about the prospects of leaving the union. it's a high-risk strategy. it will be easy for it to be painted as a metaphor, for being an embittered and bruised woman, married to a dom nearing man,

and leaving in distrust. the dom nearing man saying please don't leave me, i can't manage without you. and british saying tough, luck, you should have told us you loved us years ago. still to come - are u.s. police forces becoming to mill tarized. many say the ferguson shooting proves they are. and a team close to defending it's title. those details ahead.

welcome back, you are watching the newshour. president obama tells the u.s. congress he has authority to take on the islamic state in iraq. it comes as john kerry arrives this baghdad to garner support against the i.s.i.s. fighters. dozens from ahrar al-sham have been killed. hassan abboud is among the dead. liberians foreign minister called for the border crossing to be reopened. the death toll across west africa is 2,296. let's get more on the u.s. strategy to defeat the islamic state. we are joined in the studio.

the minister on a full diplomatic produce. john kerry going to saudi arabia, why is it important for them to get these countries on board. what are they hoping to get? >> it's important to have this international coalition in place. number one, the u.s. should not be seen as the only country fighting a group carrying islamic identity even the controversial and anti-moderate islam. second, it doesn't want to be seen as leading a coalition. having a coalition, that is not only western, buttar ab countries, specifically the gcc and other arab lookings and turkey, it's important to have this consensus against the enemy. >> so a coalition of the willing to help in the battle against

the islamic state. is this a coalition that can hold when you consider some of the countries have competing agendas in iraq and syria. competing agendas, there has been tensions within the gcc. can it held? >> there's no doubt this exists in the middle east. different territories, since what is called the. >> s is launching the attack, not only on iraq and syria, but become public against all of the arab states. i think this pillar of terrorism will never stop in iraq and syria. it's becoming more of a necessity of all the countries, to cooperate and launch massive campaign of cooperation and turn a blind eye in all the differences, to really counterattack that. >> the focus of the u.s.

strategy on the islamic state is going to be in iraq for now. we don't know what president obama is going to announce. you talk about cooperation. could we see in the future the americans reaching out to bashar al-assad to fight the islamic state in syria? >> i don't see this is happening. i would see very much the focus in pushing the terrorist groups out of iraq, and also to handle the strongholds in rafah. the involvement of the arab states, to control the - to cooperate them and control the funding. putting down the radical gots and basically do something about marmginializing and mitigating the issues, hitting on it. one should not see that these

efforts, as if this campaign is supporting bashar al-assad, it is specifically targetting the radicals, and one should accommodate the moderates, to establish a long-lasting piece in the middle east. >> thank you very much. good to hear. from the brookings doha center. now, three al jazeera journalists have been detained in egypt for 256 days, accused of aiding the banned muslim brotherhood. peter greste, mohamed fadel fahmy and baher mohamed received long sentences after a trial seen by many observers as politically motivated. they are appealing their convictions and al jazeera is continuing to demand their relief. european sanctions against russia could make life hardest for europe's largest economy, germany. exporters say they support the politics, but business is

suffering as a result. nick spicer is reporting from beijing. >> trying to keep things on track. this company leases and sells vehicles to russia and other former soviet countries. since the first round of sanctions in march. fears that business may be derailed is a reality. >> german exports to russia dropped 15% since january. the concern is the next round will worsen things. >> i think the sanctions have hurt the german economy. there are plenty of economies where businesses failed. in our case, businesses get 5-10 ipp yearies, now -- inquiries, now we get one or two. >> new sanctions needed to be prepared because there could not be a political resolution. >> reporter: the regional domino effect, pollen and hungary --

poland and hungary trade with russia. germany is finding it hard to export to them. then there's unpredict ability, not knowing what the future will be made of, and being les inclined to make decisions. >> sanctions led to uncertainty in the mash, leading to a postponement of investments. people don't know what will happen. they tend to postpone the investments, but needed germany to continue with the growth. >> a sanction slow down means there's work ahead. not just for exporters in germany, but for the european economy as a whole. google executives are touring european capitals to debate the balance between privacy and the free flow of information.

a year later when the officers were accused of beating rodney king were acquitted. in the years that followed the police department. sweeping changes were made. more minority officers were recruited. that period changed his life. and he says there's good reason it's never happened since. >> leadership in our community - we have been down this path before. protests in the day time. they were organised and peaceful. we have to make sure that we protest against injustice, and we do it peacefully. that way l.a. won't burn done do. >> they know this when markus brand was shot and -- when michael brown was killed in ferguson, missouri. michael brown was not the only shooting, and protests were watched around the world. >> in ferguson, missouri, a young man was shot and killed in this street in l.a. he had a history of mental

illness and was unarmed at the time he was shot. the fact there were no violent protests is a sign of progress. they say that the fact that things like this are happening shows that there is still a long way to go. earl has been a critic of police tactics and admits positive changes have taken place, one essential problem remains. when they look at the communities, they are looking at an alien force, a criminal force, something that needs to be suppressed. >> reporter: young men that we spoke to agree attitudes should change. >> we shouldn't be shelent when so many of our -- silent when so many much our young people are being killed. it's an atrocity. >> i have at least two friends gunned down by the police. >> l.a., like many u.s. cities
