♪ >> announcer: this is al jazeera. ♪ hello from doha, this is the news hour on al jazeera. dozens of syrians including civilians are killed as government forces launch air strikes in italy. the global fight against the islamic fight and has it expands also into syria. in other news israel shoots two palestinians dead accused of killing three teenage settlers

in june, a week of scholar in china who champions the rights of his people. ♪ so we begin with syria where 15 fighters have been killed in attacks in italy by u.s. led coalition and this is al-qaeda's official off shoot in syria and followed u.s. led attacks in parts of seer yo held by fighters of isil, the islamic state of iraq and lavent and the government separately has been carrying out air strikes, look at the pictures showing the aftermath of a syrian government attack in italy providence and there is amateur video here showing u.s.-led attacks in the northern providence of aleppo. syrian state television had a statement from the foreign ministry just a few moments ago.

>> translator: yesterday our ambassador to the u.n. was informed the u.s. and some of its allies will carry out strikes against isil in the areas that are holding in syria. syrian ambassador received a letter from the u.s. secretary of state john kerry through the iraqi foreign minister saying they will strike against isil inside syria, syria is fighting them in araka and fighting terrorism and will coordinate with the countries who will fight terrorism including iraq. >> reporter: a lot to talk about with regard to syria and this is how we are covering the story today and bag dag and stephanie decker in turkey and dana in beirut and team thank you to all of you and we are doubling a lit bit on some topics right now but we will start in beirut to start what was happening in italy with the strikes. >> reporter: syrian airplanes

targeting rebel held tear forry and it's not isil and they are opposition fighters and understand dozens of people have been killed and seen a stepped-up campaign and intensified air campaign and the syrian government launched against rebel territories and want to eliminate any opposition on the ground and this is what most activists have been saying. what the syrian government wants to tell the world is us our isil and there is no other alternative on the ground. so we have seen really the stepped-up campaign and syrian airplanes attacks and overnight air strikes and we understand from activists on the ground a number of civilians were killed in the air strikes and hard for us to independently confirm but what we understand is that the u.s. did not just target isil and training camps and facilities they also went after the nusra front, syria al-qaeda branch. >> before we move to other conference about the u.s.-led

air strikes and what you have heard from people on the ground and contacts in syria. >> reporter: undoubtedly a lot of people are angry. they do not necessarily support isil and against their way of governing. we have to remember rebels took up arms against them in january and declared war against them but syrians are asking why is the united states targeting isil and not the assad government, assad government killed tens of thousands of people over the past few years why is that not happening now. this is why it's very important for the u.s. administration to show it's not just a fight it's wagering alone but it's going to find a lot of difficulties in syria because it's interfering in a civil war. it doesn't have allies on the ground or partners it can trust or it actually trusts to replace isil on the ground. >> okay, dana thank you for that. just before we move on to the rest of the team i want to show you this map here to look at what isil controls and here it is, we comment on the map and

the yellow parts is where you want to look at where isil has a significant presence and some esmapts say it controls a third of syria and iraq and east of aleppo and syria to over the border in iraq and extends to mosul the country's second biggest city. let's go to our next correspondent stephanie decker which is near the turkey/syria border close to where the strikes are going on and tell me what you see and hear and what is going on behind you stef. >> reporter: we are on the turkey, syria border and people are streaming in from that town of cobana which is a couple hundred meters away and we drove past it on the way and there is barbed wires and there are mortar shelling falling in the town and sporadic gunfire so certainly the psychological

warfare that isil has managed to be effective in is certainly working here. hundz we have seen so far crossing and many people come here and there was a group of people sitting down here just now saying why did we continue, we don't know where to go from here, we should have stayed. that is the humanitarian face of it. people streaming, over 138,000 here just in the last couple of days. the u.n. is expecting more of them. but we are hearing when we talk about fighting on the other side of the border that the kurdish fighters have managed to push isil from cabana to the east and that is their stronghold and taken back ten village's and isil when it started this push in the last week or so it managed to take 60 village's around this area. the current is saying they are very strong but they are very strong hearted about the fact they say they know they will defeat isil but they say they need more weapons and don't have enough heavy webry to compete

with what isil had. >> thank you for that and good to get the humanitarian side of things as well and we will go to the border through to live and i would like more regional contact with you on these air strikes because we have been saying it all morning, the importance of the arab world involvement on the u.s.-led air strikes. >> reporter: i think it is indeed important. we heard about a lot of western countries who said they are prepared to join this global coalition but this specific attack we are hearing about, the first u.s.-led strike on syria includes only arab countries according to the u.s., jordan, bay rain, emirit and saudi arabia anicka -- qatar and we know about what they are playing but not what the other countries are playing. but this all goes to show just how important the membership of these countries is in this

global coalition. and it's well the countries all feel threatened by isil and feel isil doesn't respect borders and wants to expand to other parts of the region and they technically feel isil is in their backyard so they are saying we are not going to wait for it to reach our borders we will strike them inside their strongholds in syria and iraq. and this is indeed very important. the question is whether this military involvement by arab states and countries in the region is going to back fire. this is a question that a lot of people are asking, is it going to lead to retaliatory attacks by isil, sympathizers attacked launched by these similympathiz and the military involvement could be huge and my colleague explains how the attack happened in syria this morning in iraka.

>> reporter: their target is the islamic state of iraq. this activist video appears to show the aftermath of some of the attacks. the u.s. central command says that a mix of fighter jets, bombers, drone and tomorrow hack missiles were used against 14 isil targets. isil controls large parts of iraq and syria. the u.s. has been bombing the group in iraq over the last two weeks to help the iraqi army and kurdish forces. this is part of what president barack obama says is his strategy, to defeat isil. >> first part of it can be successful, which is inside of iraq the combination of air strikes from the coalition and the ground efforts by the iraqi troops to regain lost territory is certainly an objective that is attainable in the next few months. it becomes a little more problematic when we are talking

about efforts inside of syria. the u.s. aim is at this point to arm and equip the moderate syrian rebel groups so they can not only destroy dosh but also the syrian government as well. >> reporter: syria has said any operation within its territory should be coordinated with damascus and it appears the city and government vowed the attack and a high level of communication with the iraqi government. saudi arabia, bahrain, uae, qatar were involved in the attack but not clear what they play. and they are nervous about the isil advancement. >> there has been several attempts to infiltrate across our borders. we are striking the positions of isis because we think that we should do whatever necessary in order to strengthen, enhance and

solidified the stability and security of all borders in our country. >> reporter: the u.s. said there is a wide region cooperation behind its strikes and it's not clear what the outcome of the strikes will be and if it will benefit assad or the syrian opposition but people are uncertain that the aerial campaigns alone can defeat isil, i'm with al jazeera. so jordan has sent its own airforce fighter gets to iraka this morning, that is confirmed by officials here in jordan, carried out air strikes and these fighter jets according to officials have returned safely to military bases in jordan. some people are already starting to say this is a controversial role. there are divisions within jordan society about this role that jordan is playing and some say this is not our war and shouldn't be dragged into it and not the country this carrying

out air strikes on other neighboring countries and others say this is our war and isil will come to jordan borders and the government cannot wait for that to happen. >> reporter: thank you, live in aman for us and finally to baghdad and khan and they would welcome u.s. air strikes on isil. >> reporter: that is right, they are welcoming them and no official reaction but privately i have been told there are fears of repraisel attacks in the capitol baghdad and they are looking to see what they can do to secure baghdad and rocked by a series of car bombs on a daily bases for 18 months now and what i can tell you there is no official reaction but one of the government mps said this is a positive sign from the u.s. and other cooperating countries against isil especially in syria, it will help dry out isil sources and cut supply lines but

not everybody has that opinion. the southern led have been very critical about the u.s. involvement. they have been direct from the mps and america and international community are dealing with double standards here. where were they when we needed u.s. air strikes in anbar and fallusia and other provinces and asking help for 18 months and saying too little too late and some strong reaction in baghdad from lawmakers and privately a lot of people expressing fear about reprisal attacks. >> thank you, khan live in baghdad and wrapping up coverage on isil but we have more on the international campaign against isil. i'm in minneapolis and coming up, i will tell you how isil is working hard in this somali american community to win over new recruits. celebrating after a peace

deal with the government but have come under attack in their northern home lands, in sports the yankees are still alive and we will be here live with all the details. ♪ israeli military said it shot down a syrian fighter jet over the golan heights and two palestinians are not down and accused of killing three teenage settlers in june, all of this could threaten the talks between the palestinians and israel which are on going to cairo. let's try to thread this together from a bureau in just jerusalem and let's dee with the syria issue or at least the plane being shot down over the occupied golon heights. >> reporter: that is right. what we understand in the past few hours a syrian fighter jet was shot down by israeli

airforce fighter jet in that occupied golon area and what we understand is the syrian fighter jet was involved in air strikes along that disputed border on the nusra front group which has been involved in a bitter fight with syrian forces, really right now, currently. now what we understand from israeli media sources is that this israeli fighter jets took on what was described as an adjective position and then it crossed into israeli airforce or rather air space and that is when it was shot down. >> thank you, on that topic, can i move on to the next one and we will try to wrap this in one, two palestinians shot dead in heburn because of killing of the teenager which started the war and ceasefire and the talks and coming together and it kind of starts to put it all on a knife

edge. >> reporter: that's right. what we understand is that in the early hours of this morning, tuesday morning in the city of rebron in the occupied west bank israeli forces surrounded a property and shortly afterwards it erupted into a shoot out. what we understand is two of the people killed in that shoot out are known as maron-kashni and they are main two suspect nsz the killings of people and kidnapping and killing in june of this year in part led to the gaza war, that seven-week conflict in which 2100 palestinians were killed, 67 israeli soldiers were killed and 6 israeli civilians were killed. very quickly or rather very shortly afterward came out that these two suspects were killed by israeli forces hamas put out a statement saying this could

threaten those talks in cairo but what we understand is talks will continue and hearing an israeli delegation will go to cairo for those indirect talks. really just sort of underscores that it does seem that neither hamas nor israel really has any appetite for fighting to start in gaza again. >> of course, a lot happening there and thank you for updating us in west jerusalem. houthie is celebrating gains in the capitol but north of the country it's a different story with 50 people reported killed in a bombing that targeted an houthie gathering and this is after houtie fighters took over on monday and a peace deal was signed on sunday but they raided the home of senior political, military and tribal figures in what appear to be acts of retribution. routhie rebels control large parts of the country in key

areas of the capitol and we have abdoul the cofounder of polk which is the democratic movement and he is joining on the line from seran and the situation and what do you make of it once the peace deal is signed and get acts which almost look like retribution? >> well, actually, i think that there was some restraint. we feared a lot worse. and it was from both sides, houthie and the other side of the political party. so far the relations were minimum and i'm happy that it has been advanced. >> the houthies failed to sign just a pass of the agreement, security terms of the peace agreement, why is that, do you think? >> reporter: well, this is at a

peak of the situation in the suburb of beirut. their security arrangement requires malitia to hand over their weapons to the state. >> and they are being clear as to why they won't hand over those arms now? >> reporter: it's clear to me that the official name of the houthie they do not wish to hand over their weapons in the near future. >> take us back a little bit more and tell us for people just coming into it us why houthies feel that way? >> reporter: their home base is far north part of the country and was outside of government plans and dominated by chase and who take these plans and

therefore they live on very primitive situation. and went roachment of sunni extremist group and to their home base with establishment of the march center and they started to mobilize and form a malitia. >> they have not seen the economic development, they have not been a part of that, that would be their main grievance? >> reporter: yes. and lack of development and lack of services and the fact that the government in the region was of course their main cause of the grievance. >> okay, we thank you for that bit of history and a bit of context into what is happening with the houthies in yemen there. a car carrying explosives has blown up by a security convow in

pakistan and three are dead including a police officer. the bomber drove his car into the convoy. a chinese court handed down a life sentence for an out spoken scholar who fought for the rights of the wegan minority and we have the story where the trial was taking place. >> reporter: very critic of policies here he is considered a moderate. prominent wega academic lived and worked in beijing where he was arrested nine months ago. yet his trial took place in the capital to almost 2 1/2 thousand kilometers away. detention and severity of charges against him alarmed some foreign observers. >> we already expressed our concerns over his indictment and especially because mr. tooti worked peacefully within chinese

laws for years especially to promote a good relationship between minorities in china and for equal rights. >> reporter: during his two-day trial, there was a heavy police presence outside the court, a measure of the official sensitivity over the case. police prevented foreign journalists and diplomates from entering, but his wife was allowed to witness the verdict, she is worried most about his health. he was convicted of insighting ethnic hatred and the over throw of chinese rule here, a resource-rich providence in the far west. his lawyer says his client is innocent. in the past though he has been outspoken, accusing the authorities of a systematic campaign of discrimination against ethnic muslims and in an interview before his arrest he seemed to accept the fate that awaited him. >> translator: my people are here. the people i'm fighting for are here. i'm willing to sacrifice myself

for them. >> reporter: the united nations and eu have both demanded his release. human rights groups say today's verdict shows that even moderate voices are no longer immune from the current campaign to eliminate religious extremism in china. adrian brown. fighting in pakistan starting to recede and the tide of water is moving south but deaf stated parts of the province with village's and farms and factories under water and people left homeless and now it's in another providence and we sent an update from there. >> reporter: this is one of more than 100 camps that have been set up in this area for people who lost their homes in the flooding. it's quite well organized. there is, electricity and drinking water and toilets and say they have enough food and have been here ten days and the people live here on the rine of

the river and established farms anvi anvils -- and, village's and every couple of years a big flood comes along and wipes out village's and crops but they welcome the flood because it brings silt which improves the quality of the soil and after the flood they end up having a bumper crop for a few years with improved yields of around 20% and it seems that this province is prepared in some areas for this flooding. it had more time than panjab to get ready for it and the river has been coping with the flooded water coming from the north of pakistan to the south and we have not seen the same levels of devastation here that we have had in punjab. >> reporter: in pakistan and india we will go further east with our metrologist and storms i can see behind you in china

there. >> yes, this is a storm system which has outstayed its welcome really and started with tear -- rain in the philippines and northward to taiwan and 500 millimeters of rain here too and now impact on the eastern side of china. across shanghai. the winds look a bit stormy across the bay there but the winds no more than 50 kph sustained so that never has been the issue, it's the amount of rain that is likely to come down from the system. it's clear away from shanghai and then it heads out across the yellow sea. and its track is likely to take it across the island in south korea and south korea will bear a brunt of the rain which is to come and potential is there for another 200, 300 millimeters easy and could see considerably more than that. look at the forecast for

wednesday, torrential rain and much is considerably lighter and sway across south korea and thursday you fine heavy rain pushes in japan and for tokyo and across the korean peninsula should see fresher conditions beginning to emerge here, kamal. plenty more ahead on the news hour on al jazeera, doctors and mid wife on trial for stealing babies. we look at the secrets of argentina's so called dirty war which are finally revealed. times are changing as the super rich rockefeller family is selling billions ofs for tell fuel pockets to go green and joe will be here, the latest from the asian games where they continue the games with the gold metal march. ♪

♪ you're on the news hour here on al jazeera and these are the top stories, for the first time the united states carried out air and missile strikes in syria. it is targeti ining fighters f isil and iraq and the group and we have live pictures from the turkey/syria border recently and turkish police fired tear gas of syrians waiting at the border, tens of thousands of them come through because of the fighting with isil just in the last 4-5 days and begin protesting and shouting is what our correspondent was saying on twitter and shouting and tear gas was fired at them and we will keep an eye on that. in other news israel shot dead

two palestinians and raided rebron accused of abducting three teenage settlers in june and the two men were linked to hamas. chinese court has given an out spoken scholar who fought for the rights of weaker minority in jail and the sentence is the most severe in china for a decade for the crime of separatism. all right, more on the top story, the u.s. offensive against ilil and syria and u.s. fighter jets started hitting the targets on monday, it was iraka where they hit and this is the map and we have it for you, here it is, the yellow areas show where isil has taken over. and here you see in syria there, a stronghold for isil since the start of the year and the center of operations until mosul in iraq and hit areas through that border region, buildings, checkpoints, weapon stores have come under fire.

so as we talk about the border let's go there the iraq/syrian border and sue is there and tell us what you have been seeing and hearing, sue. >> reporter: on the border and the land you see across my shoulder is syria and you can probably make out some of the oil wells here. we have been talking to general the main field commander from mosul all the way to the syrian border here and he has just been having a conversation of his counter part on the other side of the border and y pchl g and the fighting arm of that and trying to get an idea of what sort of places were hit overnight and whether they softened up the target and one of the main places they are talking about is the main oil town across the border from here and south from here. we are understanding that was hit by 30 different air strikes so that seems to have taken quite a pumpeling. from the north from here one of the towns close to the border from here was also hit.

we understand this from the general and callings across the fighting force and border that this was an area that they understood a lot of isil fighters were fighting in that town and they believe there was going to be a major push from there into the sinjar mountains in the border of the whole region. very grateful again from there they are saying they have taken out targets that we don't know specifically what has been taken out and not understanding how many isil fighters have been killed but they are rejoicing i suppose you could say that air strikes moved from iraq into syria and hitting key areas that will have kind of an impact in iraq and in the amount of hardware and fighters getting into this country. >> thank you for that, sue on the iraq/syria border and thanks and we go to beirut who is a geo political analyst and thank you for your time. no surprise in the end these air strikes ended up happening and the arab countries are

participating as well. how effective do you think they actually will be in the end and we are talking about them being on going for a while. >> i mean, the key question today is to know whether the sunni tribe and iraq tribe and syrian tribes are -- whether they are taking part into this. up to now they are on the sidelines and they need to be included in this campaign in order to be effective because this is the key question and this is the question element. unless these tribes and sunni forces and are the boots on the ground i don't think the air strike alone will be enough to gear up and deal with this threat. up to now achievements informing the iraqi government the promise to support the free syrian army in syria are i mean a good steps into this direction, but i don't

think that there are enough. the main sunni tribe leaders said that they are not on board yet. so this is the first question. the second question is whether these air strikes will help to empower mr. assad in his position and whether he will claim or he will reclaim some grounds that could be lost by the isis. >> let me just interrupt you there because you talked about the elements on the ground that you think need to be involved, the elements outside of syria involved with the arab countries and at least five of them, general consensus seems to be they are behind it and don't want isis going in their backdoor and are joining the u.s. fight. is there anyone else in the arab world who opposes this and problems joining this u.s.-led fight? >> arab countries are, i mean,

they are part into this but i mean they are not very convinced. don't forget what happened in 2006 in fighting the first al-qaeda element inside iraq. they felt they were betrayed because they helped to dislodge al-qaeda at the end and they end up in the prisons of mr. all maliki and they were marginalized and they were completely put aside of the policy of free building iraq. so. >> with that experience why do you think they go back in again? >> reporter: because they know in the long-term the isis is a threat for them. however, not enough threat today to make them decide and to take the step. and this will have a lot of

questions around this air campaign, all the more, the big absence of this campaign today is the plan for a day after. so what the event will look like after this campaign and i think unless these arab population have a clear picture of what is in mind and what is the plan in the day after they will not take part in this campaign and we will end up something similar to what happened in afghanistan. starting to fight taliban and ending up dealing with taliban. so once more, the key question is to have the sunni tribes and sunni population on board again and, mind you, there is one very important element here that while in 2006 you barely found an iraqi that helping or

supporting al-qaeda today, nine out of ten dash or isis people are iraqi and this is telling. >> thank you for your thoughts and your time today on the news hour. well the u.s. justice department is looking at ways of preventing more young muslims joining isil and hundreds have joined so far and one of the priority states is minnesota where a dozen people have already been recruited, this is from kimberly. >> reporter: growing up in this minnesota community of 100,000 somali americans has not been easy and she says cultural barriers, lack of jobs made young people targets for recruiters for the islamic state of iraq or isil. >> you can hear sometimes an individual has gone, went back and unfortunately joined such organizations. every time i hear it, i'm just hoping it's not someone i'm

close to. >> reporter: u.s. officials estimate more than 100 americans including roughly a dozen from the northern u.s. state have left to join iisil and the f.b.. says it is sophisticated. >> we are privy to videos that directly targeted youth here in minneapolis. >> reporter: in resent weeks two men died after leaving minnesota to fight in syria. many in the muslim community say mohamed was shot while fighting alongside another american, douglas mccain. the u.s. state department says he was killed in syria while fighting with isil. it's not the first time young people here have been recruited. the problem started back in 2007 when nationalist ties were used to push vulnerable young people to fight for al-shabab, a somali affiliate of al-qaeda. people in the community worry the well-funded recruitment efforts and video campaigns

references landmarks and promising status and opportunity are no match for limited resources. >> we have lost a lot of kids to both al-shabab and isis and they are for guns and machine and seems to be very effective. thousands of young kids are addressed. >> reporter: a mosque here and family center is under investigation for allegedly recruiting as many as 40 people to join isil and the mosque denies the accusation. he says more law enforcement is not the answer. community backing is. >> lack of support of this community, that itself creates the grounds because these other terrorist organizations see that and they can target, if we don't get support in this neighborhood i feel like there will be more potential risk of kids being recruited. >> reporter: the white house is holding a summit in october to help police combat domestic

recruitments and radicalzation and i'm with al jazeera in minneapolis. france said it will not be deterred from fighting isil after a citizen was taken in nigeria and claiming allegiance to isil and called on by france to stop fighting the group and said french citizen also be targeted after france announced its announcement in iraq. we add al jazeera continue to demand the release of journalists in prison in europe and have been detained for 269 days, falsely accused of aiding the out lawed muslim brotherhood and they received a 7 year sentence and mohamed got an additional three years for having a spent bullet in his pocket which he picked up at a protest. the three are appealing against their convictions. well the uk foreign secretary phillip ham monld spoke to detained journalists in egypt.

>> with the journalists i raised this with president, sisi and the current situation is that the journalists have, as i understand it, appealed their sentence and appealed their conviction and that means this remains at the presence time a judicial presence and we have to respect the separation of judicial and executive power. once that judicial process is complete, if the sentence is still standing, then we would look to the executive to intervene, to ensure that they are released. >> reporter: the u.s. city of ferguson is holding a town hall meeting on the police shooting of an unarmed black teenager michael brown last month and triggered protests across the country and anger the way the shooting is being investigated and we report from ferguson city hall. >> reporter: at a ferguson city council meeting two weeks ago

residents angry denounced disrupted the business at hand. >> look around you, we will not let you go back to business as usual. it's not going to happen. >> reporter: the fatal shooting last month of an unarmed black teen by a white police officer sparked days of violent protest and ignited racial tensions in ferguson. the town is predominately black while the police force and city council are mostly white. many residents say police unfairly target blacks for traffic violations and other minor offenses. to address those concerns the city council has proposed a citizen's review board and changes to municipal fines but residents are weary. >> the community is tired and tired of being oppressed and tired of being lied to. >> reporter: law professor leslie who has been following the tensions in ferguson says the city has not done a good job educating residents on all that is needed to bring change to the community. >> i think because citizens see

there is not something that is happening immediately then, you know, what do we have? we don't have anything tangible in order to feel like we can trust you. >> reporter: these meetings are really designed to give residents in ferguson an opportunity to do something that up until now they really haven't been able to do and that is question the mayor and the city council about the shooting and about other issues like racial profiling. >> now frank has been sworn in as the prime minister of fiji and will travel to new york for the general assembly which begins and will move the country to full democracy and he took part in a coup eight years ago and last week his party one an outright majority in elections there. two doctors and a mid wife in argentina are on trial for kidnapping babies born nearly 40 years ago and steps from the dirty wall when newborn babies were stolen from their mothers in prison and we have this

his real family. the soefrp is carried out by the grandmothers who say there are still hundreds of their stolen grandchildren out there. the wheels of justice are moving but very slowly here in this courthouse here. more than 30 years after the end of the dictatorship here in argentina at least some of those guilty of one of the darkest periods in the country's history may end now behind bars. the victims' families and accused are frail and elderly, many have died. and campaign for justice in argentina is a strong today as ever. >> translator: what is taken so long and we never gave up and why we are here in court today nearly 40 years after these crimes were committed. >> translator: never lose hope although we know the military has a pact of silence we hope the mid wife who is a civilian will reveal something. >> reporter: in power from
