dinosaur of all time and a giant fossil says they feasted on massive shells. ♪ welcome the program, the cia says the number of fighters that joined the islamic state group is three times more than previously thought, until now it was estimated the group was around 10,000 strong but u.s. officials believe is could have as many as 30 1/2 thousand fighters and they have taken krom of northern iraq and syria and some suggesting it could hold a third of syrian territory. cia say more fighters have been recruited since june following battlefield successes and a counter fate of the islamic state. let's talk to martin reardon who worked at the f.b.i. or 21 years and we want to talk first about the cia group and says the

numbers tripled in three months and has the cia under estimated the strength of the group? >> they have not got it wrong, this is a public update from the information released in june and the increase from 10, 12000 from 20-31,000 or so, there is an explanation for that. and i'm going to use the winning team analogy where everybody wants to be a winner, isis is perceived in iraq and syria as winning the campaign right now. new foreign fighters coming from all over the world, asia, middle east and gulf states and europe and north america and north africa are going to isis because they perceive they are the ones winning on the ground. then you have a significant amount of defect shuns from islamic fighters already on the ground with different groups in syria who look at isis as winning and moving over. >> let's talk about the strategy here because some strategies say

you can bomb them and back but unless you tackle the route cause which is alienation of sunnis in iraq you could have 100,000 fighters in three months, couldn't you? >> you could but the root cause in iraq has to be issued. and that really is a challenge with the pre-iraqi government under maliki, the sunnis and the kurds felt disenfranchised and, in fact, they were. prime minister abaddi says the new government will be inclusive and it's a challenge to get them in western iraq first to trust the new central government, but then also not to feel or not to realize later on that they did take this risk to fight isis only to be stabbed in the back again. >> what about the domestic view points, does the u.s. think is is a threat domestically and what do americans make of the threat? >> i think for the most part when you think about isis in america it's what they have seen in the media for the last six

months, particularly since the killings of two americans recently. from a community perspective isis is a threat but doesn't rise to the level that al-qaeda and arabian peninsula does and they tried on numerous occasions to attack the home land and they will continue to do that. >> thank you. >> you are welcome. french president has arrived in iraq, france says it will join the international military coalition against the islamic state group and he was greeted by iraqi counterpart at the presidential palace in baghdad. arab leaders announce support for the plan for the islamic group and tatar and saudi arabia will go with john kerry who secured their backing on the resent city jenda. >> arab nations play a critical

role and the leading role really across all lines of effort, military support, humanitarian aid, our work to stop the flow of illegal funds and foreign fighters, which isil requires in order to thrive. and certainly the effort to repudiate once and for all the dangers, the offensive, the insulting, distortion of islam that isil prop -- propaganda through the region. >> let's go live to mr. smith in istanbul and why is it important in the fight against the is group, turkey? >> john kerry has just arrived in the last half hour or so and he will be meeting prime minister and the president

erdiwan tomorrow. there is a base here in chile and that is a perfect take off point for coalition fighter jets heading to target is positions in iraq and perhaps also in syria. but turkey, turkish officials have been saying in the last few days they will not let it to be used for that. it can be used for low guessiccel support and perhaps providing humanitarian assistance. one of the main reasons that turkey is reluctant to publically do more is more than 40 of the citizens are being held hostage by the islamic state. however, turkey has responded to pressure from the united states, from britain and other european countries to tighten its borders and try and stop aspiring foreign fighters crossing turkey into syria and iraq. >> this might still be turkey

soil but this is a border town that looks to the middle east. it's a place of pilgram and birth place of abraham, one of the great prophets and now among the pill grams are men with different intentions from europe and beyond. they are close to the end of a journey that will take them into syria and iraq to join the fighters of the group that calls itself the islamic state. but turkey has made that final leg a lot harder. >> translator: the plane ahead is syria. the smuggler tells me it used to be easy to get there, you have to cut a hole through the border fence, not any more. >> turkey has been digging trenches on the border and put tanks and increased guards and use night vision goggles and shot at people and it's harder to get foreigners across.

>> since january fighters have been trying to cross the border east of the river, that is into syria's providence and they are welcomed in an area of groups linked to islamic state. the province is behind me across the now closed border but turkey doesn't want the conflict spilling here but is is holding 40 turks hostage and worries playing a public active role in a u.s. led military campaign to push back is forces could result in the is taking out brutal revenge on those turkish hose adjusts and has plenty reminders of the human cost of the conflict, like dozens of turkish towns and cities hosts hundreds and thousands of syrians escaping from the fighting. >> translator: there is no life here, the people are tired. the islamic state took everything and controls everything inside the city. there is no money, no work.

>> reporter: u.s. officials have said they understand turkey's unique position as the only muslim majority country in nato, but being so close to the conflict its discrete cooperation is viewed as essential if the campaign against the islamic state group is to have any chance of success. bernard smith, al jazeera, turkey. >> one last point of the islamic state group australia has threat level from medium to high and concerns have been raised over the impact of australians joining the group in both iraq and syria. >> as security agencies have raised the threat level based on accumulation of indicators, the numbers of australians in the middle east, fighting with and supporting terrorist groups, the numbers have returned from the

middle east, having fought with terrorist groups, the numbers here in australia who are known to the supporting these terrorist groups and the exaltations coming to the middle east to supporters of terrorist groups here in australia to prepare to launch attacks. >> in the last hour oscar pistorious is guilty of culpable homicide and also known as manslaughter. >> mr. pistorious, please stand u up. >> reporter: pistorious shot his girlfriend reeva steenkamp through a bathroom door last year and said he mistook her for an intruder and not guilty of murdering her, here is the judge handing down her verdict. >> on count one, 51-1 of the criminal law amendment x, 105 of

1997, the accused is found not guilty and is discharged. instead he is found guilty of culpable homicide. >> and tanya page is live and he has been found guilty of culpable homicide and there is debates of pistorious being found not guilty of murder. >> yes, there has been a great deal of debate and not only among members of the public but among the legal fraternity as well and the first murder trial broadcast live around the clock through its entirety and lots of people sitting at home believing they know all of the ins and outs and disagreeing with what the judge's ruling was on that murder charge. however, i'm joined now by an expert, a former judge, judge heath to give insights and do

you agree with the judge or do you think she got it wrong with the not guilty count on murder? >> i agree with her. she had no evidence on prosecution and which she could rely because it was too poor and therefore she was left with a version of the accused. now she could decide and didn't reject the evidence as such. so having analyzed that, she arrived at a conclusion that, yes, it was unlawful and it was done on purpose since he fired two shots. but the question was did he have the subjective intent. and she analyzed it and expressed her view that with all the reasons she mentioned, it was subjectively not eager and didn't have the intent to kill a person. >> reporter: the problem many people are raising is he may not thought it was reeva but thought it was an intruder and firing his gun four times into what he knew was a small room he must

have known and you and i would have known there is a high chance he would kill whoever was on the other side of that door. >> that is very true but on the other hand with this crime in that area with the history of what you heard, somebody getting into a window, which is obviously not a person with his sound mind or with good legal feelings. so they are criminals to put it that way. with that in mind, you fear that that person behind the door was not to do justice but to commit a crime. with the experience that so many people in south africa got with this and otherwise that such persons are so often armed with fire and they don't hesitate to fire shots. so the option that he had was to

say, okay, i'm not going to shoot now, i'm going to walk away and call the police. but the person on the inside would have hurt him walking away. and would have come out and more likely would come out. and if he had criminal intention, oscar was at risk to be shot. and to be killed. and therefore it was actually he was acting in self-defense. and when you say in self-defense at the same time, he did not have the intention to commit murder. not even on the basis if it was his girlfriend, but he did not intend to commit a murder. >> she had to put herself in his mind given his heightened sense of vulnerability because of his disability and also because of his heightened startled reflex, a lot of people think they know

what should have happened because of course the trial and verdict has been broadcast live to the country, to the world. do you think that has been a helpful exercise or has it added confusion to the public's mind? >> well, at the moment, of course, it is confusing in the mind of many of the republican. but they should also learn a lesson, because she was to summarize the aspects and show the short comings in that and to say, well, i place myself in a position with the accused and would i not have done the same or even more, can i be checked beyond a reasonable doubt he wasn't in danger? >> she believed his story and relieved on not guilty murder but i think not so happy on the guilty of the culpable homicide and thanks for joining us. >> thank you, joining me now is

sports correspondent richard par, if he is sent to prison and we don't know yet and if he is his career would seem to be over but what impact did pistorious have on global sport? >> he was an extremely successful p ashgs rshgs ashara first in 2004 when he was 17 years of age and held the flag at the opening ceremony in 2012 in london but it's the barriers he broke beyond the para olympics and moving in the olympics and the first in history to compete at the olympic games and wanted to do it in 2008 but he wasn't selected by south africa but four years later he was chosen in 2012 and he was the first double amputee to compete in the games. the year before that in 2011 he competed in the 4 x 4 meter heat

and south africa got on to win silver and he got a silver metal for that. he is not only successful para olympian he is a successful olympian and he got sponsors from nike and everyone wanted a piece of pistorious and he came to qatar and raced a horse and he is one of the most influential people back in 2008. he really touched so many people's lives across the globe because of the way he transcended from para olympics to olympics and now it looks like he will never race again. >> thank you very much indeed. still to come on the news hour, waiting for help, hundreds of thousands are stranded by floods in kashmir and they crack down on corruption in kaket and other tourist centers. united states has an encounter in the semi finals in the

basketball world cup. ♪ now, european sanctions targeting russia what have come into effect despite retaliation in moscow and sanctions in russia involvement in ukraine and defense companies and state-owned bank also be denied access to crucial european markets and let's get more from peter sharp in moscow and who or what will the sanctions be targeting? >> reporter: well, they will be targeting mainly the financial industry and also the energy industry. some big names in the firing line now, rosn, eff, one of the biggest oil companies in russia and one of the fastest growing oil companies in the world is now being barred from accessing and raising finance from western markets. and we also expect the united states to launch its own

sanctions, which would ban these banks and companies from debt and credit raising in america. for rosneff it's bad news and getting rid of 25% of their staff and talking now of having to sell off part of their vast siberian oil fields to china to raise the cash for this debt, this $55 million debt. president putin often said in the past and he was dismissive of the sanctions and called them meaningless pinpricks but they will have bite and be long lasting and the kremlin can draw hope from is the eu made it very clear if the ceasefire holds and the situation politically improves in eastern ukraine then the sanctions can be partially or completely removed. >> moscow said they will react and what is the reaction in

moscow been so far? >> well, there has been no announcement of counter sanctions but they are coming down the track and they are coming fast. the prime minister hinted that russia might even ban western airlines from using russian air space. he said this would have a huge cost implication and could bring some of the smaller companies to bankruptcy. also, russia is one of the biggest exporters of rare metals and there is talk of cancelling contracts of titanium with air bus and that could come soon too but as yet no word on these counter sanctions. >> peter sharp in moscow, thank you. sierra leone cut economic forecast drastically because of ebola and tourists and others

cuts and people are getting food before a lock down to try to stop the virus from spreading and we are joined by ashley hammer and she is a photo journalist working for al jazeera in sierra leone and you are in one of the worst affected areas and how difficult has it been to reach this town? >> hi, this is impossible to get to now without special government-issued ebola travel passes. i was here months ago, in august, and the check point had just gone up. there were about four checkpoints between free town katar and a town six hours away from the capitol and there are four checkpoints. coming out here two days ago, we came through another check point and every single check point you have to get out of your car, you have to show your i.d. and show your government passes, you have

to go through and have your temperature checked by these little temperature guns, there are health workers deployed as well as the military at every check point now. they take your temperature, make sure you don't have a fever and everybody is required to wash their hands in chlorine water. >> you visited a red cross hospital there and why isn't the hospital open? >> basically there is not enough staff, they hired 35 nurses, hired and trained 35 nurses and 15 of those nurses have subsequently decided they are too afraid to come and start working here so they don't have enough nurses to start the first phase of patients coming in and they certainly don't have at the moment to deal at full capacity and don't have enough equipment yet. the point i spoke to tina the site manager yesterday and she

was still waiting for more personal protective equipment to come in by road and last week they had not finished building it yet. it's essential you finish the construction on a high-risk zone before the first patient comes in. >> final thought from you what precautions are you having to take personally to cover this story? >> reporter: you have to use your head. you have to wash your hands vigorously as often as you can and do not touch people and certainly not coming into contact with sick people and not touching anybody in hospitals. i'm not coming into contact with dead bodies. it's being careful with the equipment you are using and common sense and not taking risks that are unnecessary and keeping an eye on your own safety and well-being and make sure i'm taking my tablets so there is no chance i can come

down with malaria in the meantime because you certainly cannot get treated for malaria at the moment because the centers are too close to ebola. >> ashley, thank you. hundreds of thousands of people remain stranded after massive floods in india and pakistan and nearly 450 people have died but aid is getting to some of those in need and we report from there. >> reporter: it's the only way to get down the road. this is what many parts of shrenugdar currently look like, some people are trapped days after the rains let up and the indian army has been pulling people out and some of the rescue work is being done by locals themselves. and he has lost his voice after days of shouting down streets to help his family, neighbors and strangers get out. others are locals living abroad like this man who flew in to dubai to help.

>> so they give you a boat and go here and i took my family all and my neighbors and i go and take all neighbors, every persons. >> reporter: the power is out, safety takes a back seat because so many others are still trapped. this is one of the most flooded areas here. this street looks more like a river now and looking at the house you can see how high the water level rose. rescue workers have arrived for the past couple of days rescuing people by air and by boat. locals have also been helping out. we are actually on a homemade raft here. some survivors are frustrated and the local say the army is pelling their own personnel first and not allowing them to join the search for survivors. >> i came to help my brother. they do not allow us to save our own people. they just save their own, army persons. >> reporter: some locals were initially hostile towards us

blaming media for focusing on army rescues and ignoring the locals. local medical staff have improvised this free clinic after the city's hospitals were flooded. with or without electricity, they are treating around 700 people a day with donated medicines. >> we don't have too much in hand but what little we have we are trying to give the first aid and emergency packs. >> reporter: rescue efforts continue around the region and are expected to go on for days or even weeks with more help coming in as more people are rescued. this is jamal, al jazeera in india-administered kashmir. >> are things starting to get better? >> you can see from the pictures there is sunshine out there and signs of some improve nment the -- improvement in the weather but it's about going down to

lower levels and where the problems will continue and you see from the satellite picture this is pakistan and into that northwestern corner of india. not producing wet weather at the moment i'm pleased to say. the rain is further south and very heavy rain to the south of mumbai, 143 millimeters of rain in 24 hours and north of that 101 millimeters coming down in 24 hours and that is where the wet weather will be over the next couple of days. you can see to the far northwest, no sign of significant rainfall coming through but any little that we do will exacerbate those problems we have in place. the heaviest rainfall toward west bengal and the case through the weekend. so that is where we will see the worst of the weather over the next few days and bad weather going to the philippines over the next few days, we have a tropical storm which developed to the east here and it will make its way here around saturday night into sunday so very heavy rain certainly coming

through at that stage and gradually pushing up to the island but you can see sustained winds of 75 kilometers per hour and the worst of the wind is on the northern flank and not bad with the wind and like a category one on the scale and flooding rain will come this weekend, daren. >> thank you, plenty more to come after the break, if scott land breaks away from the uk, how would it change its foreign policy? life on a floating slum and we will take to the water with a quarter of a million residents in nigeria. a baseball player is struck in the face by a fast ball and more on that. ♪

international criminal court or i.c.c., such a move could have triggered a formal investigation into whether both parties committed war crimes in the 50-day conflict and this was given to the icc on the 25th by a french law firm is a complaint made by the administer and general prosecutors and maliki the foreign minister made a highly publicized visit to the hague in what appeared to be a bid to put israel in the dock. >> we must do everything in our power to enable the international community court to bring to justice those responsible for committing war crimes. >> reporter: but his confidential august letter obtained exclusively by al jazeera tells a different story and sent by top i.c.c. prosecutors here and recounts the foreign minister's visit to the hague and had a crucial question to ask him before they

could open an investigation. the acceptance which is necessary to trigger an investigation requires the written approval by either the head of state or foreign minister, so the i.c.c.'s top prosecutor asked maliki, did the palestinian justice ministers resent submission givings i.c.c. jurisdiction have the government's approval? the prosecutor then wrote i did not receive a positive confirmation, accordingly there is no legal basis to start an investigation. jeffrey served for seven years as a prosecutor in the hague. >> this document shows that the palestinian author either never authorized the original referral when it was brought on the 25th of july by the minister justice and the general prosecutor, all of that decision has changed, all the decision has been changed for them or under pressure from someone else. the decision to do nothing
