9:12 am
are on target. and that is a war here in the north of iraq. >> in the north of the country the u.s. air forces dropped supplies. government forces pushed back. some officials are asking the u.s. to send soldiers to stop the advance. the head of the anbar prove vince says -- province, says they have reached abu ghraib. i.s.i.l. seems to be gaining ground. >> what we have seen is i.s.i.l. inching closer to bag dad. and defense sources are telling us is there are i.s.i.l. fighters, not the numbers public sized. they are there. the focus is going back. what i.s.i.l. is doing, they
9:13 am
have left their bases they control towns like haditha, and parts of the two largest city. they are mounting an offensive an amore. a ply line, if they take the town and cut off the province and may be able to take over the whole province. what is happening in anbar is crucial. what we are hearing is that we need ground forces in the area. the anbar provisional council leader has gone a step further saying we would like international troops. he wasn't specific. he said withwe need international troops on the ground. the coalition air tricks are not going enough. >> the appetite for ground troops to go in is negligible.
9:14 am
>> that's right. only two days ago. the state department would ask a question. do you think you'll need ground troops. the answer is simple. air strikes are enough. it will be a long battle. a battle taking a while that will have highs and lows they are sticking to the guns. the iraqi government's position is that ground troops should not arrive in iraq. iraqis should themselves be supported. there are 1600 u.s. soldiers in a training and intelligence gathering capacity. we don't know whether special forces are linked with iraqi army units. it's a strong rumour. the iraqis are telling us that they need more. >> that's the update from

9:16 am
didn't see any air strike on this. last week is a little serious air strike. i think they postponed the end of the battle. they didn't finish it. the kurdish are fighting, fighting with the limited, you know material and weapons against i.s.i.l. i.s.i.l. is taking over an important mountain. >> given all of that... >> turkish - you know, they are looking for witnesses and they did it - you know...
9:17 am
>> what do you think the turkish involvement will be. >> sitting on the border. perched up on the list, do you think it's inevitable that the turks will enter the fray? >> i don't think the turkish will go inside the syrian land unless - because they are, in my opinion - they did succeed in creating divers. they called for, and everywhere nose that there's a dispute. it's not possible to do it, it's complicated. john key said "we are going to study this, president obama said it's out of question." turkey will continue to blackmail this and has an interest to create a buffer
9:18 am
zone. on the other hand, once in that case, i think turkey will enter inside syria. if it is a threat, don't forget, it's inside syria. i.s.i.l. are close to it. i.s.i.l. is trying also to not man turkey, ankara. if they attack, there's 150 soldiers will be maybe taking, taken as hostages, or killed. >> it's a moving situation. we'll have to leave it there. sorry to cut you off. we have to move on. we have to move on. >> coming up. more than 100,000 in india move as cyclone hub hub nation landfall. >> find out why protesters in

9:20 am
would change. they think that the different political elites within the three largest nationalities, the bosniak muslims, crow at and the serbs have a vested interest in this constructure. it is their route to power and has been. i'll bring in my guest, raouff, a political analyst. i'll find out, do you share the ghoomy prognosis that we will not see change out of the elections? >> i do not. based on the numbers we have seen, the turn out has been higher than expected, and it can be bad news for the ruling parties. further more, the campaign has been such that people have, based on what we have seen, talked about change more than the actual continuation of what we have now.
9:21 am
>> that will be good. there is, for example, a cripplingly high level of unemployed. 40%, higher than younger people. have you seen serious discussion of how to alleviate the problem. >> that was not a main topic of the campaign, the main topic was corruption. the ruling elite is seen as corrupt. this is one of the most backward countries in terms of economic development in europe. youth unemployment is one of the symptoms of the larger picture, which is that the economy has been performing poorly for the last 20 years. >> scares investors away the high level of corruption. >> it scarce away domestic investors. foreign investment has not been high. domestic investment is not high. it's what i would say is the
9:22 am
biggest cause in this country, along with the elaborate structure. >> bosnia is where the brightest, best and young live abroad. you live in the united states. you have come back for the elections. can you see that changing. is the circumstances that might bring back the best that country has. >> people move everywhere, this is not something specific to bosnia, it's a specific country in europe because a third of the population resides abroad. many people have two homes, people that live in western europe. they come from bosnia and live there at the same time. the biggest problem is the economy, which is the biggest reason people want to leave. the biggest issue for the youth is they can't leave. some of us who have dual citizenship can, but other can't. >> that is the view from
9:23 am
sarajevo, the bosnian capital. >> let's move to mostar, where we join e have been, an -- evan. how is the election process working out there? >> it is divided. it the the middle of the state. it's complex to society. if there are more than 7,000 candidates during this election, no more than 4 million people. if you talk about mostar. the street behind me was front line. it's some confined of division. each these days, immigration parts of the city, on the left
9:24 am
side, people are in favour of creating parties, like in all previous elections. people are in favour. and it shows that in bosnia, there's no one something scene, but there's three group, and they have their own political things. in which they get into the area. >> tell me what this election means in a town where there has been no local government for more than mix years, and it's reflect across the country. bosnia said that mostar needs to
9:25 am
have - the si. it had a special electoral lol. they managed a deal. this is the only city. this is the main issue that you oway new government. they need to solve the situation in this city. they can't leave. it needs to be sold soap and awaits a new government with the need of constitutional changes which is necessary. >> okay. thank you very much. evan, interesting hearing that already, let's hough to the
9:26 am
weather. steph is sheer. we had tropical cyclone phailin in india, how does it compare? >> they are similar, hopefully this will not cause damage. here is why. a massive area of cloud covering a huge area, many eastern parts of india seeing rain and strong winds. if i take away the top layer of the cloud, you can see what is going on further down. you can see the darker swirl, the center of the storm. we have seen the worst that the storm has to offer the the winds now that the storm is over land with disintegrate. when it made land fall the wind were around 110 k/hr. that will make it the equivalent of a category 3 hurricane. that's what we call it in the waters. we call it a category 3. it's a major storm.
9:27 am
if we prepare it with pile jip, that was $225km per hour. a similar magnitude. phailin was a category 5 before it made landfall. therefore, shortly before landfall it started to ease. so the wind were similar when it made landfall. the problems with the storm was exacerbated. the storm surge was 3.5 meters. they had similar size and intoing ni attitude, hopefully will not cause problems. >> system ahead... >> what we see is an advanced on decades of organised movement and record building. >> thousands take to the streets of st. louis, missouri protesting police violence. government authorities in mexico say some of the bodies
