they understand what's happening in the country. >> reporter: despite the talk of unity coming out of the talks here in paris one importance question remains unanswered: how to stop i.s.i.l. from operating over the iraqi border in syria. while the u.s. says it's prepared to go after the group there, there's little appetite among other countries to do the same. right now, exactly who will be doing what against i.s.i.l. in iraq, whether they can make a difference? nadin baba, al jazeera, paris. >> and more from baghdad. >> this has been welcomed by the iraqis. they are having a huge impact ton country. now the iraqis will be looking for three key things from this conference. they will be looking to update the iraqi army, help in intelligence gathering and also humanitarian assistance. now this conference didn't nows anannounce any concrete measure.

that will be disappointing. that hasn't happened, indeed the french foreign minister says there are gaps, but the broad overarching concept, the i.s.i.l. needs to be defeated. there are concerns here from many different groups particularly the sunnis that by internationalizing the fight against the islamic state group what you're doing is not reaching out to the people that can help you, people like the sunni rebels who are currently involved in fighting with i.s. against iraqi army forces, about bringing those people back into the fold. also by reaching out to community leaders who so far have felt marginalized by this shia-led government here. also there is another issue here. one of the countries that was not mentioned was syria.

what happens in syria has an impact here in iraq. according to many analysts and a lot of iraqi politicians would like to have heard a bit more about the political solution in yrtsdz which they say -- in syria which they say will have a big impact about defeating the islamic state in this country. a lot of people say that iran should have been part of this, that it has influence in iraq and syria. by freezing them out effectively what you have done is lost one of the main players in the region. >> dismissed u.s. efforts to bill a coalition against i.s.i.l. >> translator: in the last few days we've had some excitement and with that excitement we've been hearing from american officials making comments on forming a coalition which are blank hollow self-serving and lacking in any direction. >> the fight against i.s.i.l. was one of the most reasoned

subjects discussed by rept erdogan. recep tayyip erdogan. last month, why i.s.i.l. is seen as such a threat to the region, by some estimates islamic state fighters control a third of both iraq and syria. the group has taken control of iraq's second biggest city mosul and is in part the heavily covered cityit city tikrit. the u.s. justice department has announced tougher measures targeting americans traveling to iraq and syria to join i.s.i.l. >> i'm announcing that the department of homeland security and the national counterterrorism center and the department of justice will lowmp

and a political system that needs to be overhauled. there's been only one president elect in this country and many, many coups here. what the united nations will try to do is calm fears, bring about security. but a lot of the people i've spoken to are skeptical that this peace keeping mission will succeed while others have failed. >> nigeria's president is setting up a special task force to beef up security. the brigade will help boko haram who is making sweeping successes in the north. still to come on al jazeera we report from south korea and how hiv and aids patients face stigma and prejudice. that's why microsoft is paying $2 billion for a computer game.

he didn't actually say it directly to them mind you, he said to it his own conservative party in a business center on the edge of aberdeen. but the message really was the same to all scots that on an emotional level it would be disastrous to mr. cameron personally and to many people across the rest of the union for the cots to break away. -- for scots to break away. but in a much more practical level, mr. cameron repeated over and over again through the weeks as have other western politicians that scots would be fundamentally worse off if they are to split away from the rest of the u.k. he mentioned yet again things to do with banks, standard of living that scots might need to get a new passport, all of these mithering practicalities. will it change scots viewpoints?

very hard to say. after all there are a lot of undecided voters whose votes in the end might count. of course scottish nationalists however, would say we have heard this before. devolution for scotland, an independent scotland of just 5 million people with all that oil gas and renewable energy, in particular, would be the source of their future wealth. >> more than 2300 migrants have been picked up from boats near the southeastern coast of italy over the weekends. the italian navy carried out several rescue operations off the coast of sicily and cla calabria. near the city of tahura, 26 have been rescued and many others are feared drown. as many as 500 migrants are

in the mediterranean. but this is just one solution. it is not the solution of the problem. you pay member states, together with the country of transit in africa, should seat probably on the same table and trying to find some long term solution that can be fo for example the establishment of entry, legal channels of entrance to europe for those peep who are in need of relocation, the majority of those migrants are coming from countries of war or from regimes. and so it is not possible to help them at home. like many people said. but it is necessary to provide them with adequate protection that they are entitled to in europe. >> air france is facing its most destructive pilot's strike in 15 years. it is forced to cancel half of its flights all week.
