9:00 am
>> i'm al jazeera. this is the news hour. coming up in the next 60 minutes a lot of talk but no clear strategy on how the to defeat the islamic state group. bringing peace to a calamity. the man at task. money and oil, and an independent scotland. we'll be in aberdeen three days
9:01 am
ahead of the crucial vote. and we look at how some are building their dreams. >> well, the french government is giving support to defeat the groups that calls itself the ex-lambic state. fran sunnfrançois hollande called for an international action to combat the group also known as islamic state in iraq and the levant. >> the struggle of the iraqi people against the terrorists is our struggle as well angers we have to act together. this is the purpose of this conference. we have to stand by the iraqi authorities, and there is not a moment to be lost. we have to prevent the indoctrination of our youth,
9:02 am
prevent them from being e enrolle enrolled. >> let's take a closer look how why the i.s. is seen as a threat to the region. it controls a third of both iraq and syria. it has taken control of iraq's second biggest city, mosul, and is in parts of heavily contested areas. and baghdad is trying to combat a country that has crossed over two lines. is the iraqi government getting what it's asking for? >> the conference has comes to an end. no major announcement has come to an end. they are looking for something
9:03 am
concrete. they wanted concrete measures something they could bring back here to iraq. that may well be happening behind closed doors but all indications to come up with a broad strategy. they have a broad agreement on the fact that we battle i.s. there were gaps on the nation and we have broad strategy. but the iraqi army is in bad need of an upgrade. they were hoping there would be some sort of innocence i announcement and something a bit more clearer that they could tell the public on the airstrikes that the international community may mount, also the iraqi people are looking for some sort of reassurance on civilian casualties particularly in areas where eye so isil or the
9:04 am
islamic group has a stronghold. >> this would not be the first military intervention in iraq. it's been a divided country ever since the u.s. invasion. any plan out there to deal with the political and ethnic and religious divisions are at the root cause of this conflict. >> well, this group has been formed wit that do go to the broader range of the ethnic communities in this country. he's also looking to give the message that this is a much more inclusive government in need. they gave that message that the paris conference. he said we are an united government. that's very important. let's take a listen to what he had to say.
9:05 am
>> all have spoken about the various members of the iraqi government, which wishes to safeguard the national unity. this was a clearcut message. it is to be an inclusive government at parliament level and shall uphold this national unit. >> so very positive message there from the foreign minister of iraq. but there are concerns, concerns from the sunni parliamentairens here and two glaring omissions of the region, iran was frozen out. >> thank you so much live from baghdad. let's go to paris where all those foreign dignitaries have been meeting. what is clear on how far the
9:06 am
international community is going to go when it comes to actual military intervention? >> reporter: it's far from clear to know who is pledging what. we do know that. they have not named those states and found others are unwilling to take direct military action but perhaps willing to dig into the pockets to finance the military action while others could provide intelligence support. among the european it's a mixed picture as well with britain and france deciding they could participate in airstrikes while others have ruled that out.
9:07 am
whethere is a plan and a timetable. there is a situation a humanitarian situation which is getting worse and with massacres happening on a regular basis. >> how effective coalition are people to go without participates of iran? how much of an issue was that in the conference? >> reporter: they said it would have been good for them to be here given iran's help over the last few years, over security matters. perhaps in deference to french
9:08 am
hosts iran is saying that this was just a show. if they're not invited than anything can advance. the other big question is i.s. or isil using syria as an operating base to hold huge amounts of land there. if there is no concerted effort to defeat them in syria because that there are worries that that will play into bashar al-assad's hands will this lead anywhere in the long term? many unanswered questions. >> indeed, there were. thank you. now nigeria's president announced that he's setting up a task force for security. the brigade is expected to join the army in fighting the group boko haram. it has struggled in combating the group.
9:09 am
good to have you with us. first of all, when it comes to this force where will it succeed where others have failed? how will it be different from special forces that have been put together in the past to face boko haram? >> well, this might involve efficiency in nigeria, and i thinked important to know that they have documented every measure. >> i'm sure that's what the government would say but former peace leaders would state that
9:10 am
they are complicit with boko haram. isn't the problem deeper than putting together special forces? >> well, that is a different issue. the federal government is investigating the allegations raised. this approach is combating the terrorists. >> doesn't the boko haram give the military establishment more leverage over the budget, and in a sense would benefit to see the fighting continue? >> come in again? >> the fight against boko haram, how much leverage does it give
9:11 am
over the budget? >> with this approach, the military is taking the onslaught so i believe as soon as the national assembly approve of the bucke budget fighting. >> we'll leave it for there. thank you. >> thank you. >> the united nations is
9:12 am
officially taking over the peacekeeping operation but they do face a difficult task. in the last 17 years 13 peacekeeping missions have been deployed. none has brought lasting stability. 6 of thousand 500 african union troops have been in c.a.r. in december fears of a genocide caused france to send troops. under the new u.n. mission 12,000 peace keepers and military police will be deployed by the end of the year. we're in the capitol of the central african republic bangui. what plan does the u.n. bring to the table? >> reporter: joining me now to talk about this further is the force commander of the new
9:13 am
commission that will take over in less than an our. general, can you tell us why and how this peacekeeping mission will succeed where others have failed? >> let me start by saying this is going to succeed where others have hesitated. this is quite a different mission. having said this we beefed the strength and we're doubling the strength of the troops and. >> is there enough troops for the country the size of france and belgium put together?
9:14 am
>> i would be pretending to say there are enough troops. >> i know you're a military man i have to ask you a military question, the root cause of it, as many people know, poverty and corruption in this country. why spend so much money on another peacekeeping mission here? >> i would want to recall that this is an integrated mission. so security is just one part of this global approach. and i don't think that the international community is spe spending money carelessly here. >> we have been out and about in
9:15 am
the country recently, and we have seen fighters from rebel groups known as seleka and anti-bell can, what are you going to do to disarm them. >> we'll continue to execute instruction that we have on th the concept given out by the united nations. let me add this is a country which from the past 30 and 40 years we've experienced this. so this is going to take quite some time to disarm everybody. >> just very brief question. will troops who are possibly allegations that they committed atrocities, will they be part of the u.n. forces today? those same troops that are
9:16 am
alleged to have committed atrocities. >> the same troops who are accused of committing atrocit atrocities, are not the troops here. >> thank you very much. a lot of people here are skeptical. >> still to come, a desperate choice after an israeli airstrike killed one of his sons, a palestinian father is forced to make one of the most differ decisions in his life. 60% of air france pilots go on strike. and in sport the government season final and it's

9:18 am
recover from israel's recent bombardment on the strip. one man lost a son in this conflict, forcing him to make a choice. >> his son suffered brain trauma since a baby after being inoculated by a doctor in palestinian. before the war, they would travel across the border every few months. but on july 30th an israeli tank shell hit the family home killing his 16-year-old brother, ali. >> ali and i used to take care of him together. ali used to take him outside for fresh air. he used to carry him to the bathroom. when he got tired or sick, ali
9:19 am
would take him to the hospital. he used to buy his medicine. >> the tank shell came into the ceiling into this room where the family was huddled together. killed ali who was lying here. the attack has forced him to make one of the most important decisions of his life. >> family and friends organize this protest. ahmed has decided he can no longer take his son to israel for treatment. >> israel has offered to treat my son but within a month, year, two years time they will fire rockets to kill him. this is your invitation, israel. it means nothing to me. for this reason i rip it up. [ cheering ] >> he said that israel's medical establishment should have done more to protect the children
9:20 am
killed in gaza. 500 children were killed in the war. >> while israeli hospitals received palestinian children for treatment, th israel has killed palestinian kids. at the same time its killing palestinian children, israeli doctors are treating some of them. >> reporter: ahmed continues to fight for justice in court. he wants those responsible that supplied the drug that damaged his son to be held accountable. but despite the difficulties that he an faces he doesn't want any help from israel. >> air france is facing one of its most disruptive strikes in 15 years. it has canceled half of its
9:21 am
flights on monday through thursday. >> it's what thousands of air france passengers will be told all week. some 60% of the various pilots are on strike it will does erupt flights and cause chaos at the airport in paris. >> i saw that my flight was not on the departure fort. i hope i can get back in time to be at work. >> i understand, but i'm bearing the brunt, especially with all these children. if i were alone there would be no problem. i understand there is a strike. they are right to do t but it's a shame that it concerns us, but it effects us. >> the pilots are against cost-cutting plans to shift jobs
9:22 am
and operations to a subsidiary. like many flagship airlines across europe, the airlines are facing fierce competition. >> if france is very sorry the impact that this strike will have on our clients. air france is very conscience of the inconvenience this will cause. >> reporter: german airline lufthansa is facing another walkout. it's fourth in just three weeks. pilots have announced an eigh eight-hour strike on tuesday over retirement benefits. they are are in negotiations are workers unions with results that
9:23 am
could very well alter the face of european aviation. >> now british prime minister david cameron is making his last visit to scotland on monday, three days ahead of that referendum for independence. there are growing fears that scotland will vote yes, and cameron is pushing for a big no. he's due in the city of aberdeen later on monday. that's where our very own lawrence lee is standing live. it's all about the business now, right? >> reporter: yes, absolutely. clearly it's very serious for the prime minister and the unionists votes. they probably can't believe it would come to this. mr. cameron has chosen to go here instead of being in paris to talk about the crisis in iraq and syria. we know all about the bloomy warning of what would happen to the independence of scotland if
9:24 am
it decided to leave the u.k. and mr. cameron will remind them. if they do vote yes to independence, they can't change their minds. it's an one-off election. he said the opposition said its rubbish. scotland is a rich country and points to what they see behind me here. scotland has 60% of the european union's gas supplies. 25% of the european union's renewables. they're going start drilling in the north and the west as well. just to bump up their case. all this to the point of nationalists make, that scotland would be richer, not poorer outside of the united kingdom.
9:25 am
>> reporter: off the coast here it's often bitterly cold and u unremittingly gray. but they have been basquing in the economic sign for years that oil has provided. kenny runs a successful construction company, yet he supports independence from the u.k. because he thinks so much of the profit has been wasted by london. >> oil was discovered in the 1960s when i was a teenager. they've been taking the oil ever since. that has stifled the economy. >> the two sides of the debate over the future of the united kingdom agree that scotland could survive as an independent country. but oil, energy and scotland's future income has been a source of endless furious debate. >> it has been essential for the
9:26 am
seas are still full of oil and the profits from scottish oil should go to scotland, not london, yet the unionists insist, as they have for many years, that those economic forecasts are simply a lie and the oil is running out. really it's a big metaphor for the future that scotland faces. are they really quite poor or as the nationalists insists, really quite rich. >> reporter: one day the oil will run out, that much is for certain, but it's replacements could be every bit lucrative. this will create the world's largest energy scheme. there are other energy projects throughout. after all, a windy country surrounded by crashing sees could be seen very profitable, indeed. >> we could see tens of thousands more people employed
9:27 am
in these fields and more energy resources. it's based on the left of our ambition. >> reporter: many insist the claims of huge wealth are an illusion. >> you name it, welcome have it. we can have it all. >> reporter: the nationalist slogan is yes we can. for the unionists it is, no, we can't. it's about who the voters believe. >> now, residents and tourists hunker down in shelters overnight as a hurricane makes landfall. the storm brought high winds and pounding rain. the u.s. national hurricane service reports winds up to 195 kilometers per hour.
9:28 am
remnants are expected to bring flooding and rain throughout the day. let's get more on this now from following the progress. any good news for those instore who have hunkered down? >> no, always slightly concerned when we have a storm system. when we use the storms we tend to have warnings in place and people are able to better cope, but this this is magnitude 3 on the simpson scale when it made landfall across california. the only major hurricane of this strength to make landfall since 1989. it had just covered of tip of san lucas. the wind is at 16 5k ph hazard it moves further across the north. once it covers california it
9:29 am
will just hang around and rain will carry on. over the next couple of days the system will track slowly to the north. we'll see between 300 millimeters to 500 millimeters of rain. meanwhile on the other side of the pacific we have the typhoon that has moved across the china seas. we have had heavy rain, 398 millimeters of rain as it moves across southern china we could see further rain and flooding. >> thanks. suffering in silence. we report from south korea will h.i.v. as a.i.d.s. patients face significant studio. and jo will have all the details in sports. @
9:30 am
9:31 am
>> you're watching the al jazeera america new al jazeera news hour. hollande has just finished hosting a conference in paris with representatives from around 30 countries. nigeria's president has announced the formation of a new special task force to help fight boko haram. the nigeriaen government has struggled to fight the armed group who conduct bombings and
9:32 am
kidnappings. the united nations has taken over the c.a.r. peacekeeping. the turkish president and the emir of qatar has discussed the growing threat of islamic state or islamic state in iraq and the levant. >> reporter: high on the agenda are issues of the islamic state and iraq. on the one hand its allies and a member of nato and have been trying to combat the armed group here. on the other hand turkey has 50 of its nationals held hostage by i.s.p. qatar has demonstrated that it is a successful mediat or in securing the release of national hostages.
9:33 am
qatar has not officially had public relationship with the i.s. and whether it will be able to translate that has yet to be seen. that was one issue discussed between the two sides. >> we see a specialist in the london school of economics joins us live from london. good to have you with us. the good way to look at it, there has been an armed rebellion for sunnies in iraq for months now. why is this stage of it and the i.s. group is attracting national attention. >> reporter: for many reasons. the islamic state controls a state as big as britain. it is only iraqi-saudi borders, iraqi-jordanian borders. it decimated several divisions
9:34 am
of the iraqi army. it has beheaded several western members. and yes, you're raising a big question, while the worldviews the islamic state as terrorism this is a sunni group because it has blended itself with sunni communities who are very angry with the shia-dominated government in iraq. the most effective means to go about it is to dislodge the islamic state from within the islamic communities. to do bottom-up war instead of top-down war. >> has this international coalition which has signals about a political plan, has it
9:35 am
presented any political plan to take into consideration to deal with some of the sunni grievances that has given an opening for i.s. to move in? >> reporter: i think again you're raising another major question about how to really confront the sow called islamic state. i mean, no one is saying that there is no need for a military component. but i think the political and the social elements are as important if not as important than the military component. the question is what explains the surge the surge of the islamic state? it is a social parasite, a social epidemic that feeds on social sectarianism and exclusion and feeds on region war by proxies that inflame sectarian tensions. if our reading is correct what are the most effective means to confront the so-called islamic
9:36 am
state. you do it by ending the regional sectarian war by proxies. you do it by integrating the sunni arab community into the political process. you do it by denying the islamic state it's social oxygen because it has portrayed itself as a defender, a persecuted and excluded sunni community. i fear the american view is very questionable. it's counter terrorism as opposed to see this conflict as insurgency and a structured political crisis that needs to be dealt with. >> even if we look at this a as a counter terrorism initiative, have there been efforts to put boots on the ground by coalition partners? will they go into syria welcome
9:37 am
are any of those sorts of issues clear? >> there is no clear road map. there is considerable ambiguity. the coalition has made clear it will not publicize its plans or division of labor among the various players. the americans and europeans, sammy, as you know, will not put boots on the ground, period. end of story. that's why the americans, the british and the french are talking about air power and we know that air power will never defeat the islamic state. some regional powers suggested to the americans that they're willing to put boots on the ground. of course the iraqi leadership has made it clear that it does not want neighboring boots on the ground in iraq. it does not want neighboring states to enter iraq. the reality is even though the
9:38 am
coalition would like to stress unity, even members of the coalition don't see eye to eye on the measure basically challenges facing the way forward in storms of confronting isis and also in terms of dealing with the sectarian fires that are raging in the region, putting an end to the civil war in syria that has allowed the islamic state to really prosper and grow to what has become a real monster. >> thanks for that from london. >> reporter: thank you. >> militia loyal to libyan general haftar say they have closed the port that cult off arms supplies to groups there. those group topped qaddafi in 2011 but since has taken to fighting each other.
9:39 am
in the libyan coast 26 people have been rescued from th, but libyan spokesman fear that many have drowned. traffickers rammed and sank their boat and described as the worst shipwreck in years. we're joined now from rome. good to have you with us. first if we look at the numbers. they seem to be going up. the numbers of people trying to get to europe. over 2,000 migrants plucked up by the italian navy in just one weekend. does anybody have the capacity to deal with that sort of problem? >> well, actually the situation is very serious, of course, because so far in italy we have the arrival of over 220,000
9:40 am
migrants. it's a huge number, of course. not in excess of migrants approving from europe, but a huge number of migrants because it may be considered one of the emergencies in europe because so far we contemplate--we estimate that almost 3,000 migrants died at sea in 2014. so we investigated on the ship wrecks and we discovered that 500 people probably went missing. there were people coming from egypt, but the nationalities were syrians, palestinians, sudan knees and egyptian.
9:41 am
it was probably a homicide, and the situation for the moment will not improve because the flows of migrants are still coming to europe, and it is very important that the operation should continue in order to. >> what should the world do? if there is a solution, it will take some time for those countries to get beyond where they are right now. in the meantime what is the solution to deal with this sort of influx of people? >> reporter: this is not a nexus of migrants coming to europe but a nexus of migrants who need to be saved. the priority is to save lives.
9:42 am
the thing to do is to carry out the operation. but just one solution is not the solution of the problem. there should be some long-term solution that brings the people who are in need of protection. for example, the majority of the migrants come from countries of wars, from regimes, so it is not possible to have them at home like many people said but it's necessary to provide adequate protection that they're entitled to in europe. >> we'll have to leave it there. thank you so much. in south korea long-term hiv
9:43 am
patients are forced to fight abuse. unknown to the other patients and non-medical staff 25 of its residents are suffering from a.i.d.s. there used to be more. last december this center was stripped of its long-term a.i.d.s. care because of physical and sexual abuse. some patients are housed in hospitals but 25 remain in a facility unfit to look after them, their care still carried for by government subsidy. >> if they don't accept us here any more the only option is
9:44 am
going back home. >> the report for the center of disease control cried lack of medical expertise and training, an opinion shared by a former resident, who did not want to be identified. >> when you're sick they give you painkillers. tranquilizers and pills. they make everyone sleep. it's like a prison. >> reporter: thethe government recommendation is designed to ease tensions. >> all caregivers who created problems were fired and replaced. when there were problems we tried our best to solve them through discussions with the cdc, but the rumors became too exaggerated. >> the doctor said that the problem is an asses systemic one, and that his program was the only one to accept patients
9:45 am
of hiv and aids. this is a ground of activists who log complaints. >> it is serious there is not a single nursing hospital that will accept a.i.d.s. patients when there are 1,300 nursing hospitals across the country. it requires south korea to revisit it's a.i.d.s. policy. >> reporter: we're told they are doing just that and staff hearsay patients need this type of accommodation so their families can secretly visit them without admitting the nature of their illness. the allegations against this institution and the information it has given us in its own defense, but more widely what lays there is the inadequacy of caring for its a.i.d.s. patients.
9:46 am
al jazeera. south korea. >> all right, it's time to catch up with all the sports news and we can talk about one happy american in the world of golf. >> yes, american golfer billy horschel is winner, and won the championship. billy horschel was ranked 82nd in the standings. he had finished runner up at the second tournament before winning third, the bmw championship. the american perfectly poised heading into the tour championship tied the league with rory mcilroy. mcilroy, too, was looking to cap an impressive season with the number one with a double bogey on the sixth hole, and
9:47 am
followed that up with three consecutive bogeys and essentially helped him to a three-stroke victory. >> it hits may little bit, and still doesn't hit me. >> reporter: it's a remarkable returning form for horschel. a at age 27 he is the youngest to win the championship. he made more money in a single day than he had in the five years since turning profession professional. >> the playoffs are the biggest events, the four biggest events on tour. i was able to rise to the occasion, get the job done, and it gives me so much confidence, so much thrill to accomplish something like this. >> the pga tour season now over
9:48 am
but the best of europe and the united states will switch their focus to the ryder cup in scotland. >> i'm going to take a week off and recharge a little bit and get myself up for that event coming up in just over a week. >> reporter: horschel was not selected for the u.s. team, but with a baby daughter due in the next few weeks and $11.4 million in his pocket he may have other things on his mind. >> the united states basketball team has secured a place at the 2016 olympics in rio. that's after they won the world cup in spain. they beat serbia. this is the third straight world title for usa, who also is reigning olympic champion. their international swinking streak stands at 63 games.
