6:03 am
>> reporter: canadian prime minister stephen harper was in his nearby office. >> just as it will strengthen our resolve and redouble our efforts to work with our allies to fight the terrorist organizations who brutalise those in other countries with the hope of bringing their savagery to their shores. >> president obama offered his for. >> we don't yet have all the information about whether this was part of a broader network or plan or a series of individuals who decided to take the actions. it emphasis the doctoring to which we need to remain village leapt. when it comes to these acts of senseless violence or terrorist. . >> the incident after a canadian sold your was run over and killed by a man described as a radical jihadist. canada raised its threat level for the first time of four
6:04 am
years. the military have been told to stay out of uniform and keep profile low when off-duty. this has altered the way canadians look at security. here the parliament was considered a parliament for all. that is likely to change with now security measures and protection for military personnel in canada. >> iraq's kurdish parliament will send peshawar to the syrian town of kobane. turkey will allow them the access. erbil is the capital of iraq's autonomous kurdish region, and it's 600km to kobane, an 8 hour drive. why can't kurdish fighters cross to syria. i.s.i.l. controls a swathe of territory east of aleppo to mosul. that's why iraqi kurds need to
6:05 am
cross turkey to reenforce the kurds defending kobane from i.s.i.l. why aren't turkey sending their forces, that's a question we put to charles stratford in iraq's capital of erbil. >> there's no confirmation as to how many peshawar will make the journey from the syrian-turkish border to help out the factions fighting i.s.i.l., and no confirmation as to when they'll leave. the agreement, the vote has yet to be signed by president bosani. we are waiting to hear confirmation on a number of levels. one thing is for sure. there is a lot of fear as to whether the k.r.g., the peshawar here can be spared when there is such a long lining, a long front line here with the kurdish region and northern iraq that needs to be defended. can the peshawar forces be freed up to go and defend and fight
6:06 am
i.s.i.l. in kobane without jeopardizing the defense here. 1050km line, a lining fluctuating. there was fighting last night in the mosul dam. we here from peshmerga. that was with backup from coalition air strikes, u.s. air strikes. there was more fighting in and around the sinjar mountains, peshawar, backed up with yazidi militia. an example of how fluid the situation is here. and big questions as to whether sending the peshawar in any way will cause problems in defending that front line bernard smith is live on the turkey-syrian border. to bring the viewers up to speed, why the turks would allow iraqi kurds into the northern
6:07 am
part of syria via their borders, but they won't allow their own turkish kurds across the border. why? >> that is because turkey don't see the iraqi kurds as a territorial threat. turkey has a good relationship with the kurdish regional government. it's a trading partner. they'll be allowed to transit through turkey to syria. turkish kurds,al lied to the p.k.k. have territorial ambitions in this part of turkey. and the syrian kurds fighting in kobane are allied to the pkk. turkey sees them as a threat and as president recep tayyip erdogan said on numerous occasions in the last few weeks and day, he views arming the syrian kurds as arming terrorists who could turn the weapons on turkey. >> now, of course, we mentioned
6:08 am
that i.s.i.l. controls large swathes of northern syria, so one wonders how the iraqi kurds will move into turkey, and then into syria. air trop by road. how will it work? >> well, the practicalityies of how it will work are yet to be determined as are the numbers, one number have been hearing over the last couple of days and president recep tayyip erdogan revved to it as 200 or so peshawar. how they'll get in is yet to be established. they could come by air or be escorted by road through turkey, and in through the border, which is directly behind me. the trackalties -- practicalities - that is easy. turkey will facilitate the movement, practicalities is different. it's just which way they bring them in. >> that will be clearer as the days progress. thank you for updating me on
6:09 am
what is going on on the turkish syrian boarder. >> in the united states four security guards are convicted of killing unarmed civilians. coming 7 years after the shootings caused outrage. they worked for black water, a private security firm. rosalind jordan has more lengthy prison sentences for all four me convicted on wednesday in u.s. federal court in washington. one of the defendants is facing a life-time in prison for starting the murders of those 14 people in the square, back in 2006. now, the u.s. government was very concerned about this case, because they had brought in black water contractors who ride security for u.s. documents in baghdad. because of what happened in the square, the u.s. government made changes on how contractors and others working for the u.s. government are treated when they commit crimes overseas.
6:10 am
this is marie harf, the deputy spokesperson for the u.s. states department. >> following the tragedy the administration strengthened use of contractors. so again i won't have comment on the court's decision, other than we respect it. >> reporter: even though all four men were convicted, their legal saga is not over, they say they'll appeal. yes say the u.s. government is -- they say the u.s. government is convicting them of something they were hired to do. jane arraf visited relatives of those who died. >> reporter: it's taken seven years to bring the case to

6:12 am
united states to testify, hyder was struck by how kind people were and doesn't think the guards represent all americans. this is the square now. for most people american soldiers killing civilians at checkpoints and security contractors driving around with guns blazing is a significant memory. the blackwater killings left a legacy contributing to changing the course of iraqi and american history. when it was time to negotiate an agreement to leave a limited number of u.s. soldiers, anger over the killings played a large part. as dangerous as iraq has become, most iraqis say they'd rather take their chances than ever again allow foreign soldiers or security contractors to rule the streets at least eight have been killed on an attack on a bus in

6:16 am
i don't think people are derailing the ceasefire. >> desperate family members and friends were told by government officials that the children would be released by monday, latest tuesday. that did not happen. they don't want to consider the possibility their daughter may not come home. >> translation:. >> i don't want to think about that. for feelings that have waited six months. to say that the kids are coming home, and they hear that it's not so. i don't want to think about that at all. >> people are anxious and fear for the children. they will not give up on them. until the schoolgirls are found, all parents can do is wait and hope now, staying in africa, the

6:18 am
jazeera. liberia is not so fortunate. before getting too indepth about what is going on, what's the general assessment of the situation in west africa, especially in liberia? >> the situation is critical. the response is scaling up. there are more ebola treatment units opening up, resources coming in. it's critical. we are behind the curve. >> what does a typical day involve for you and your colleagues in the etu. >> right. so international medical corp is pralting one bowl -- operateing one ebola unit. and we are opening up more. a typical day involves picking up patients with the ambulances, admitting them, getting test results back. we had support from the u.s. navy for a laboratory. we are trying to get as many cases as we can, screen them and get negative people out and
6:19 am
provide care for anyone that is ebola positive. the critical aspect is isolating them in a safe environment and that's the core purpose. >> you have to identify them. you have to recognise the symptoms and diagnose them quickly. does that systematic diagnosis vary from patient to patient when ebola mann vests itself? >> it does. most patients present with a fever. that's the most common symptom, we see a lot of vomiting diarrhoea. the preparations are not always the same, but the case definition almost always includes a fever. when we have a patient meeting the case definition, we bring them in and test and get the results in the next day. >> there was a conference talking about how to deal with ebola internationally. do you see international support
6:20 am
building, is there a feeling on the front line that the world doing enough? >> for sure. i've been in liberia for two months. it's different now to when i arrived. the response is scaling up, financial resources, more organizations coming online. we are not where we need to be. it's a complicated response. many agencies have never done this before. this is a unique kale for ebola. there's -- unique scale for ebola. we are learning as we go. it's a slow-scale response, it's building and hopefully we'll catch up. it is slow at this statement. >> shaun casey from the international medical core. we wish you and your teems all the best and stay safe. thanks a lot victims of a cholera ept demic in haitiing epidemic in haiti are waiting to hear whether the u.n. is responsible for introducing the disease. it left more than 8,500 dead.
6:21 am
kristen saloomey has more. in a country where one in 10 has access to clean drinking water, it's easy to see why a water born disease like cholera spread. what is not instituted is why united nations didn't take precautions to stop nepal translating the disease. why it now refuses to xpt the thousands -- to compensate the thousands oh have lost their loved ones. what we are trying to do is mobilize as many resources as we have at our disposal to make sure that we can bring the outbreak of cholera in haiti under our control. the u.n. says immigration
6:22 am
efforts helped to reduce new cholera cases by 76%. the u.n. mission in haiti did little to improve sanitation. >> as a sanitation prac tisher in this -- practitioner in haiti, i have not witnessed any project. >> reporter: the u.n. denies responsibility why and refused to here complaint of victims who filed a class action lawsuit against the u.n. organization. the u.n. arg use that it can't have a lawsuit against it. plaintiffs argue it doesn't dissolve the u.n. of compensating victims. the lawyer who handled u.n. liable yi claims from 1995 to 2005 agrees. >> unity is a shield not a store, protecting you to do the job you need to do, but not cut
6:23 am
down or away legitimate claims. it was never understood that legitimate claims would be barred or neglected. >> reporter: while a united states government attorney will argue for immunity, several international law experts will support the victims. the u.n. does not plan to appear it was one of the world's best-known brand names. nokia mobile phones are about to go the way of the dinosaurs. at their peak in 2003 one in three phones sold around the world was a nokia. it was not able to keep up with the popularity of smartphones from apple samsung and others. microsoft completed a $7 billion purchase of the business in april. and microsoft announced it will replace the nokia name with its
6:24 am
own, starting with the looumia range of smartphones. i'm joined by helen keegan, a mobile technology expert from london. are we surprised by this decision? >> no, we are not surprised. this has been a long time coming, and when we knew that the nokia business, handset business was solved to microsoft, it was inevitable that the name would go by the wayside as part of that. >> what about the agreements to keep the nokia name for a decade before changing it? why have they ditched it. >> nokia is kept in the infrastructure and mapping. we'll see it in telecoms, and nokia is a company and operational from finland, but not in the handset business. they have been pushing the looumia brand strongly in the last year. it's a name in the mind of the consumer. they have probably almost forgotten nokia already. >> do you think it's a natural
6:25 am
progression from moving away from the name, bringing in microsoft to become a brand name that can oppose the likes of apple and samsung? >> i think it's their attempt to do that. but there are some imaging problems with the microsoft name, and it's not associated with phones. the looumia brand is strong, and combining it may work. only time will tell. it will be ultimately consumers who decide. >> what do you feel about the way microsoft has positioned itself in the market with regards to smart phones. samsung established itself well, as has apple. where do you think microsoft can sit comfortably. >> outside the windows phone environment that we saw microsoft come up with is a nice way to use a phone, and there is rom for more operating systems in the market, and one size does not fit all. not everywhere will have an eye
6:26 am
phone or an android phone. but they are the third player and they are small in comparison to the android and iphone, that means they'll struggle. fortunately they have deep pictures. they can get traction and pay for some of the marketing that is needed. but i'm not sure that the microsoft name will work as part of a hand set story, as the loomia brand is strong. and xbox is strong for microsoft in the gaming world. it's the xbox name, not microsoft. >> do you think there's a lesson to be learnt in the space that nokia was not able to keep up with the leeks of samsung and app. what lessons have to be learnt by looumia, for example, indirectly microsoft, if they are going to keep up, they are not going to go the same way as nokia in the future. >> that's a good point. it's about being close to the customer, understanding the customer needs, keeping an eye on the market and different
6:27 am
countries have different issues in terms of what their hand set needs are and understanding the marketplace and agreement. nokia was too slow to react to iphone and the changes happening in the consumer marketplace. that meant they lost their grounding. it shows a huge business like nokia can lose the whole of the business. it doesn't matter how big you are, you do need to keep up with the teems and customers. it's not forever. >> indeed. i hope your appearance on al jazeera will continue in the future and we'll discuss the technology issues that happen in our world. thank you for your time from london. >> you're welcome. thank you let's look at the weather with everton. it seems gonzalo is not going away and europe is affected. >> that's right. the storm is driving into central parts of europe.
