>> tech know, where technology meets humanity... only on al jazeera america o. >> this is al jazeera. >> hello, welcome to another hour of news at al jazeera, our global network in doha. i'm adrian finnegan. >> what this house will be doing this evening will be add to the pressure of the government of israel. >> can we say controversial debate, the government of

britain decides to recognize palestine as a state. new laws restricting political dissent. and how to avoid another money melt down. six years after lehman brothers collapsed, the financial war games. we begin this news hour with breaking news from baghdad. there have been three bombings, one of them a suicide attack that has killed at least 30 people. on mainly shia neighborhoods and follow a string of similar attacks on recent days. al jazeera's imran khan is on the phone from baghdad. what do we know? >> reporter: let me give you the latest figures. these bombings took place, first one cardamia northern baghdad, nine were killed there and 22 were injured and then a suicide bomber blew himself up driving a

car in a car showroom, at least 15 people killed there and 32 were injured and then there was an improvised explosive device in a very crowded marketplace in sadr city. they wait until people are out doing their late night shopping going to restaurants et cetera. these attacks are designed to strike panic and fear into people. this is a pattern we have seen increase over the last few months and especially the last few weeks. when we are seeing i.s.i.l. squeezed in areas three take out revenge attacks in the capital. i have to stress: nobody has claimed responsibility for these attacks so far but they follow a pattern that is familiar to us. >> imran, thank you. staying in iraq, fighters

from islamic state of iraq and the levant are edging closer to gaining complete control of the western province of anbar close to the border with syria and runs down to the capital baghdad. the iraqi army has withdrawn from the last base in the town of hit. up to 180,000 people have been displaced in fighting in and around that town. overnight i.s.i.l. overran an army camp as the military made what it called a ticket cal tacl withdrawal. anbar, the strategic towns of tikrit and other towns. zena hoder is there for us. >> losing ground over recent weeks, iraqi officials,

appealing for help, military assistance as well as ground forces, foreign ground forces to help them hold anbar. anbar is a strategic province, it borders syria, which means i.s.i.l. has an open corridor between its strong holds in syria and iraq, also at the door steps of the iraqi capital. the iraqi army calling this a tactical withdrawal, raises questions on its abilities. they haven't been able to recapture territories and they can't even hold ground and it also asks the question whether or not u.s. led coalition air strikes have been happening the government in its fight against i.s.i.l. the u.s. coalition air strikes have been targeting the haditha dam, areas around the haditha dam to make sure i.s.i.l. doesn't take over this dam in anbar but elsewhere there has been limited success ton ground. at the end of the day-- on the

ground. at the end of the day, the government will need the help of the sunnis on the ground. sunnis have little appetite fighting i.s.i.l, they want guarantees, one of those gairntsz igairntsis settingguara national guard. >> syrian town of kobani, u.s. air strikes continue to bomb that town. i.s.i.l. fighters have renewed a three pronged attack from the town's eastern side. kurdish forces are conning to defend an there's fears of safety of hundreds of people trapped there. >> on the political front there have been some sort of developments that can place turkey's foreign minister

currently in the united states at present issued that there was some sort of an agreement reached between washington and ankara, to find a more holistic solution to the i.s.i.l. problems. bear in mind, turkey has said the confrontation shouldn't be one dimensional, it should be a solution for the wider problem, as far as turkey is concerned, getting rid of bashar al-assad. foreign ministry have agreed with the government that they will provide support for moderate syrian groups, what that means, it seems that turkey's insistence to enter properly in the fight against i.s.i.l. must include also a strategy dealing with syria, that is paying off, at least based on what is come out from the foreign ministry so far.

>> on a hospital bed lays this young kurdish fighter wounded from battle. yet all he can think about is returning to defend his home town of kobani. abdel raman is 23 years old, he and his sister have been at the forefront of the battle of saving kobani to fall to i.s.i.l. >> we managed to kill three of them, i got injured during the fight. >> abdel raman considers himself lucky to still be alive. as notorious as i.s.i.l. has become, there is conflicting knowledge stories of where they come from. >> mostly from north africa like algeria and morocco, lots of

heavy weapons like tanks and artillery. >> in this private hospital, there are several other fighters being treated. they refused to tell us who was paying for their treatment but locals state it is mostly pkk. 17-year-old is another one injured in the battle for koba kobani. >> i.s.i.l. fighters were ten meters away from us. suddenly i got shot at that moment. i was alone, my friends were not near me. i promised not to let they capture me. i was ready to blow myself up. >> reporter: i asked him if he was scared. >> translator: yes, to be honest i was scared. but the relief in the solidarity, wanted to continue fighting, many of our people have been killed. >> reporter: on another bed

sits ahmed, he says it's his duty to defend the kurdish nation. >> translator: i.s.i.l. is abusing and hijacking islam for their actions. this is not islam. we are muslim too. they they captured our friend and beheaded him. >> reporter: even though some of turkey's kurds continue to demand that it does these fighters say they don't wan the turkish army to intervene. what they lack in military they retain in ambition. >> not a part of the long term strategy in defeat being the group. secretary of state john kerry says the focus should be on defeating i.s.i.l. in iraq. >> kobani is one community and it is a tragedy what is happening there and we don't diminish that but we have said

from day 1, it is going to take a period of time to bring the coalition thoroughly to the table to rebuild some of the morale and capacity of the iraqi army and to begin to focus where we ought to be focusing first which is in iraq. it is rakes who will have to take back iraq. it is rakes in anbar who will have to fight for anbar. and we're confident that just as that happened before, that can and will happen again, though it will take some time to build that capacity in order for it to be able to be effective. >> well, a growing number of young muslim men and women from european countries appear to be joining islamic state of iraq and the levant. in france it is estimate they'd more than 900 people have traveled-- -- estimated that

more than 900 people have traveled tom iraq. >> began in 2010 when he qurt, traveled to iraq. >> then gradually began to isolate himself. in march 2013, the two brothers said they were going to thailand on holiday but in fact they made their way to the syrian city of homs. >> translator: he said he was doing logistics, he was on his way village to village. he told me syria was a beautiful country despite the war, if he was asked he would go to the front line. >> then on january 2nd, 2014, dominique received a text message from an unknown person saying her son was dead. it says nicolas had carried out

an attack. french authorities say so far more than 900 people have gone to syria and worry that those who are returning may plan attacks on frempl french soil. >> been on a shooting spree that lasted several days in which seven people were killed. now the impact of that is still very much felt here and in the rest of the country. mohamed mira became a symbol of social injustice and a model for many to follow. according to some in the community there. >> a lot, a lot. what gives me the chills when we speak to ten or 12-year-olds when you ask what do you want to be, they sai say muja hideen. can you believe that?

>> fighters to syria and iraq. >> the yifd toda jihad is the oe that gives them a purpose in life. it's frightening osee that western societies have produced youths in need to embrace a cause like this one because there is nothing else left for them. >> france is now considering a tougher antiterrorist law. what dominique says what is really needed is more opportunities for the youth. for her, it is too late. nicolas's body will never return home. all she has is a text message and memories. >> tens of thousands of images from snap chat have been leaked online but who is to blame? we'll hear from an identity expert next. some health workers in liberia have gone on strike to

demand more pay. later on sports, investigation into alleged corruption on fifa. >> ten people have been injured in jerusalem as israeli force he confront palestinian forces. tear gas was fired near al axa mosque. israeli soldiers tried to clear the holy site before a planned celebration of the festival of sokot. speaking in ramallah, are pledging $5.5 billion to help rebuild gaza. the 50-day conflict led to 100,000 palestinians losing their homes.

>> the palestinian government of national consensus will pray the leader on in managing these funds and supervising gaza's construction, recontradiction with the support -- reconstruction with the support of the international community. we'd like to see the unity government succeed in assuming its rightful responsibilities and functions in gaza. >> translator: i have stressed to secretary-general ban ki-moon that all these programs and the aid will never achieve its goals unless the israeli blockade on gaza is lifted and unless we liberate the palestinian national economy and get rid of the israeli domination of individuals. >> whether the government should recognize palestine as a state.

prime minister david cameron will not take place in the vote. 139 countries do bilaterally recognize palestine, with sweden being the most recent the do so. let's go live now to london, hang on a second. we're going to hear now from the israeli prime minister. no? that's live from nadene baba. nadeen, what's the point of this if the vote at the end is nonbinding? >> reporter: good question adrian. i think from the people who have pushed for this debate and the vote, the bottom line is that the status quo can't be allowed to go on. they realize it's knot nonbinding, they realize that draifd cameron has said he won't be changing his policy towards

nonrecognition of the palestinian state until that's reached through direct negotiations with israel. but many people have told united states in the last few hours many supporters of the motion, and people who are hoping that it will go through, like the palestinian ambassador here in britain saying that if it is passed, it will put pressure, both on britain, and on the international community, to do more and to take responsibility for those negotiations. they're saying that under the american stewardship of the peace process as it's called there's not a level playing field. those negotiations have stalled since april. the main sticking block for the palestinians being the continued settlement by israel. they're saying that's eroding the chance of a two state solution because there simply won't be a state possible, a viable area for them to self-govern. now they do realize that this is

a symbol if you like, but they say that it's a very important one. >> let's here nadine from a couple of british parliamentarians. >> what practical benefit would passing this resolution make? it might make us feel good. it might make us act in a way similar to a number of other countries around the world. but, you know, recognizing a state should only happen when the territory in question has got the basic requirements of a state. and through no fault of the palestinians, that is not true at the moment, and it does seem to me that the resolution before us is premature. >> i believe that the facts of the israelis, intemperate reaction to the very prospect of this house passing this resolution, is proof that this resolution will make a difference. the only thing israeli

government in my view under its present government of bebe netanyahu, will act on the government of israel, that is why they are so worried about the resolution passing. >> so nadine if the resolution passes, even if that resolution passes why won't the government recognize palestine as a state? >> well, the british government says that that should be something that comes out of negotiations and like the straily government they're saying that unilateral decisions like the one that sweden intends to take, could actually harm britain and the prospects of a negotiated resolution. the majority of the parliamentarians here feel like things have gone on too long and they've got nothing to lose. >> thanks nadine b-aba.

>> the aim of the so-called war games exercise is to figure out how to prop up another big lender if it should get into trouble. tom ackerman reports. >> this government building just across from the white house is where top american and british regulators have been meeting behind closed doors for what they call a war game. lehman brothers setting off the biggest bankruptcy hearing in history and a huge crisis, they now have the tools to isolate a big bank collapse and at minimal cost to the public, banks are now required to build up more of their assets sand need bankruptcy plans place scaled living wills.

bank executives are being held personally be responsible for rkless lending. >> they got away with compensation packages, they got away with best golf courses and on and on. so that has to change. >> but the international monetary fund is warning of storm clouds ahead. if new financial bubbles suddenly burst. >> we're witnessing a return of risky behavior and markets. asset valuations are at historically high levels. spreads and volatility are at all time lows suggesting that there may be mispricing of risk. >> the financial sector says it's learned many lessons of becoming more responsible without as they call burden some regulations. >> it seems to me that the system that relies on a game of cops and robbers is morally

bankrupt but also bankrupt from an efficiency stand. >> financial players operate outside official banking system. >> further worry is the migration of new market and liquidity risks, outside the banking sector, what we call the shadow banking sectors. >> the fear of banks too big to fail are being overshadowed by too many banks to big to lend. the banks are playing it safe by investing in government bonds instead of the riskier option providing easier credit to businesses and consumers. tom ackerman, al jazeera, washington. >> millions of people like you and me, use an application called snap chat, that over the past couple of days a vast number of images they thought

were safe and private have been leaked. snap chat allows people to send image to one another. will only stay on your phone for a maximum of ten seconds. they can save the photo on their phone but very private images of themselves which they believe will quickly disappear but a third party smartphone app snap save, allows images to be saved. snap save's database has been hacked. thousands of images may have gotten hacked online. robert sicilyano. how much of the blame should they accept for this incident?

>> well, the looks like their api could potentially have been hacked. and if that is the case they should essentially create an api that could not be reversed engineered. the fact is that so many files have been leaked through this third party service tells us that it's possible that their service is no more secure than on athird party server. >> we're just hearing about this on the news but it's been going on for a while now hasn't it? >> well, the snappenning as it is, is a term that has been created over the past week, but this breach has been going on for sometime. and users data has been exposed for quite while. now what's happening i all this data is being dropped on the web

and dropped all over a lot of places. >> i imagine parents who didn't know about this will be mightily alarmed. >> that's the good thing that it's gaining this much exposure. parents are apparently not aware of their children's digital lives. three quarters of parents are completely clueless of what's going on in their children's lives. need to be aware that their kids an themselves and potentially their families, taking these photos, circulating them, in many ways this is considered child porn. >> robert, we talked about whether snap chat had to accept, for using a third party app but

if you joined a network you understand that anything that you put out there is going to be deleted for 10 seconds, you can are forgiven by thinking you're safe aren't you? displm in the end the ounce of responsibility is on the consumer, that's the way it is, it has to be. but snap chat certainly has a responsibility to inform the public of the limitations of their technology and more than likely that's all being done within the bounds of personal responsibility. essentially more than likely you're going to see some form of regulation that is going to require most of an explicit lemtions ounderstanding of whate limitations will be. >> an authority in boston, i

understood that. we're at the midpoint. still to come, yemen new prime minister, hopes he can stop the country from tearing itself apart. plus. scuffles in hong kong as hundreds of masked men move in to break down protest barriers. and in support we'll tell you about the impact that this particular sport is having both on and off the track. track. it is
