8:12 am
describe it what is iraq doing to secure that area and really push i.s.i.l. back? >> well, they have an advantage, the iraqi security forces and militias do have a large advantage in that they towards the south which is ashear stronghold and have the rear of that area fairly secure and they need to push forward and secure the roads with baghdad 40 kilometers away and the big fighting where i.s.i.l. were able to come in was ambar to the west and some of the towns pushed by i.s.i.l. fighters and a lot of the towns there completely taken over by i.s.i.l. fighters so that is still ranging and up in the north as well i.s.i.l. still control a huge amount of territory so although this is being seen as a very big successful operation for the iraqi security forces and shia malitia a long way to go and

leave. there is one that is preserved through the years and jordan and israel covered territorial disputes and trade and has not been a perfect relationship but both benefitted from the arrangement and we report from jordan. >> when jordan and israel signed a peace treaty 20 years ago they put behind them 46 years of war and miss trust but since then the two neighboring countries had an uneasy relationship and once described his relationship with the relationship with benjamin netanyahu as cold and unpleasant and this is how he feels now. >> translator: today we have both, islamic extremism and islam extremism and if jordan and other islamic countries are fighting this in islam and israe israelis are slaughtering children every five minutes then we have a problem.
8:21 am
>> reporter: israeli, palestinian negotiations angered the kingdom which hosts over two million palestinian refugees and jordan has a stake in the outcome of the palestinian israeli conflict not only because it has the largest palestinian refugee population in the world but also because of its strong attachment to jerusalem and recognized the special role in looking after islamic shrines in jerusalem and this is when they negotiate the future of the city. by allowing right-winged jewish groups to come in the compound they say it's under mining, the role of protecting the holy site. >> we continue to tell israeli officials that unilateral action that will effect the status of east jerusalem and holy sites must be stopped immediately. >> reporter: a palestinian refugee who fled to jordan in 1967 is still living in a
8:22 am
refugee camp and says the treaty was more beneficial to israel. >> translator: a peace treaty with jordan and israel assured the population no wars with the neighbor and no one will ask israel why it's stealing palestinian land. >> reporter: there have been calls on the government to sever ties with israel but analysts say there is too much to lose. >> i'm convinced jordan will never sever with israel. it is not in jordan's interest. yes, security coordination is important, but it's as important for israel as it is for jordan. now if we are talking about i.s.i.s., let's not forget the borders. >> reporter: treaty defined permanent borders with israel and returned the area to jordan but for many here it feels like a truce and not peace, i'm with al jazeera refugee camp. >> reporter: jordan is the second arab country to sign a peace accord with israel and egypt was the first when it

signed a treaty in 1979. canada hundreds gathering to remember a soldier killed in a shooting in ottawa, just last night they lit candles at the war memorial where corps pretty nation cirillo was standing on wednesday when the shooter opened fire and stormed parliament hill and he died in a shoot out with police and the area reopened to the public for the first time on saturday but the parliament building itself is still closed and this morning michael's mother is speaking out once again saying her son's actions were not driven by ideology or political motive and instead she told a newspaper yesterday he felt trapped after being rejected for a passport and saw death as his way out and associate professor at georgia state university joins us now and the researcher for the finalist program there and joins us via skype from atlanta and thanks for joining us. >> thanks for having me. >> and despite what his mother
8:24 am
said and planning to go to saudi arabia and not syria and he felt trapped after having some issues with his passport would you say this one someone who had mental issues instead of perhaps terrorist thoughts? >> i don't know that to be the case and i wouldn't suspect that because one of the things we do know is most terrorists in this case, this particular perpetrator bibeau if he is like others there is not a sign of mental illness and no particular of abnormality so this may be a particular factor of importance here but it seems like there are other things at play with his motivations. >> but speaking of those intentions, i mean so shaktar there is no indication that this guy was part of, say, an extremist group but he was on a watch list so was he seen as less of a threat since there was really no known connection to some broader terror network? >> that brings up the issue of you know someone who is acting in kind of an lone wolf capacity
8:25 am
or someone working on their own. one of the things that makes up for particularly different way of encountering that type of terrorism is they are not necessarily doing anything that would give off a lot of signals being part of a group and a kind of affiliation and that sort of thing. >> something he had to have been giving off to be on a watch list and there are reports that can'ted yeah did not tell the united states he was, in fact, on the watch list and what responsibility do countries have to share that type of information with each other or should it be shared? >> well, i think to some degree there is a significant amount of cooperation between the u.s. and canada and the u.k. and australia and new zealand. i don't know the particulars about this case but to make the issue about this particular perpetrator, depending on what kinds of things he was doing, what he was saying across various media sources and social media, that might give an
8:26 am
inclination there was something to be mindful of but, again, it really kind of depends on what the actual behaviors are that would give off those signals. >> and speaking of those actual behaviors, you described him as a lone wolf but the truth is there is a trend here and more than 100 canadians fighting in syria but can canada and u.s. effectively deal with citizens traveling overseas and coming home radicalized and is there a way to address that systematically? >> first of all it's getting increasingly difficult for people to make that journey in the first place and that is interest about i.s.i.s. propaganda and it's not saying go and try to attack wherever you are. that was actually more hallmark of al-qaeda in the arab peninsula and it was more do it yourself. what i.s.i.s. is saying come over here, be part of this thing we have going on and so as it
8:27 am
gets more difficult to do that then there may be a shift. but it is difficult to kind of figure out who the people may be until they start to try to make those efforts. but once they go, let's be very clear, they are very much in harm's way and so the issue of how many people are going to go over there and then return, i think that's one that remains to be seen. by and large we know a lot of people who go for them it end up being a one-way trip. >> thank you so much for joining us via skype from atlanta, associate professor of communication at georgia state university, it's been our pleasure to have you. the northeast is about to have a flashback to summer, metrologist dave warren is here with a look at that. >> just a flash and that is about all it will be. >> that's it. >> and maybe one or two days and then we are back to cooler weather and we see that this time of the year, the warmer weather doesn't stick around for long and it's cool today but by tomorrow the warmer weather comes back from the south and it's 84 in south carolina, monday here it comes memphis and
8:28 am
atlanta and there is a storm pulling the air up and tuesday it's 78 in washington d.c. and new york above 72 and about 72 but cool air returns behind this and we will have a few showers and the cooler weather is back along with gusty winds by the end of the week. >> dave, thanks so much. battle for a key seat in the senate is getting ugly. >> you are not the cause and you are certainly not her charity. >> reporter: louisiana senator mary feeling the pressure and one local leader telling blacks not to vote for here and why race could be the dividing fact ner a crucial senate race. deciding the future in a nation torn apart by war, what is putting a wrinkle in election day in ukraine and we are live in kiev as ukrainians head to the polls.
8:31 am
ukrainians head to the polls and a big day from a country torn apart in resent months and days to go before the mid turn elections the battle for the top seat in kansas could come down to the wire and a poll shows voters taking a liking to democratic challenger paul davis. he has got 52% of the support and 45% say they want to see republican sam brown stay in office and they dispute the poll and america tonight joey has more on the race. >> good morning everyone and welcome to the kansas state fear in hutchens and what could be a pivotal year in kansas politics. >> reporter: in the race davis is running neck and neck with the incumbent sam brown beck.
8:32 am
>> i'm paul davis and independent leader and independent thinker and the experiment is not working and trailing the surrounding states and the rest of the country in virtually every economic growth indicator there is and it has plunged our state deep into d t debt. >> sam ran in 2010 with huge republican year in the country and won a sweeping victory and brown beck promise is we would cut taxes and there would be a surge in employment, a surge in economic growth. and that certainly hasn't happened. >> last year kansas lost a fifth of its tax revenue. earlier this year two credit agency lowered kansas bond rating. >> clearly a lot of dissatisfaction here for a politician of governor brown beck in a state to be fighting for his political life here is simply a remarkable political
8:33 am
story. >> let's go through this cut. the cut was the obama stimulus money going away that paul davis agreed putting it in the budget. he left a fiscal train wreck in the state of kansas and he is a democrat leader then, nancy pelosi of kansas and that is what he did! now governor you can blame everybody you want, but the fact remains that you made the single largest cut to public school funding and all you have to do is talk to these teachers out here. >> reporter: teachers are mobilizing in a grass roots effort to defeat governor brown beck. >> i'm a special ed teacher in the schools and lit a fire under teachers because they understand that people are attacking their public schools and attacking students and attacking teachers and they have to stand up and do
8:34 am
something. we have to do something. this is the election. we are fighting for the future of our state. >> reporter: shifting from political drama in kansas to the political intrigue in kentucky that cause could senate minority leader mitch mcconnell his job and that is the politics segment and joining me is strategist o'brien murray and political journalist dominick carter and thank you for joining us. >> good morning. >> let's jump right in and speak with an interesting endorsement for mitch mcconnell and the cincinnati inquire had this to say quote while it's unclear whether kentucky residents been fit from the senator severe as minority leader or majority leader mcconnell has influence in washington and said after three decades in office he really couldn't explain what he had done for average kentucky, is that really a ringing endorsement? and allowing her to climb her way out. >> he will win the race and i said this before. democrats. >> you think it's just in the bag. >> yes, the democrats are pulling their money out of
8:35 am
kentucky and realize if we pull our money out of kentucky that means they can focus on other senate races. >> that's not true because on the home stretch they decided to pump in. >> they were pulling it out. >> they were going to pull it out. >> decided to put money back in. >> poll numbers show. >> i don't believe that, i believe they are putting the money in there because if they fully pulled out then the republicans would fight in other states. what the republicans have done this year is they widened the playing field and democrats it shrunk and they spend 300,000 more in kentucky and the republicans will spend 5-6. >> they put in more than half a million. >> but the most resent buys. >> reality. >> what do you think dominick. >> kentucky is very much in play, morgan. remember that commercial where is the beef or show me the beef, the little old lady, that is what that endorsement amounts to in kentucky and yes you may have seniority and tenure but what does it matter if to the average
8:36 am
resident of kentucky it has not improved their lives. >> this candidate will not say if they should vote for barack obama or not. >> another question. >> but see, okay, but see if you can't deal with the substance what do you do? you go on obama. and so that is what is happening. mitch mcconnell minority leader of the senate cannot talk about his record. >> wait a second. >> against candidate grimes is she is aligned with obama and if i'm grimes i wouldn't say if i voted for obama either and the fact of the matter is he doesn't have coat tails, the president and sitting president never has coat tails in a mid term election. >> it's not unusual. >> i don't think it's unusual at all. >> this is really about due to clinton's have coat tails. >> he is an albatrose around their neck and we know that. >> the issue is not just obama and his personality. the cincinnati inquire said there is an issue with her personality and says alison is
8:37 am
too packaged and too rehearsed and do voters feel that? >> he has restaurants with minimum wage and the war on women and what they have at the restaurants and what they call certain products, what they are saying on the restaurant menu. what they are talking about is hypocrite and leading a charge on minimum wage and don't do either one of those in your own business. >> hypocrite involving mitch mcconnell. >> someone else who has been on for being a quote unquote kip hypocrite and she is the last remaining statewide elected officials and does she pull them out of the stronghold in new orleans? >> i don't think so. the republican tide is going against her like you wouldn't believe and neighboring state down in the south in arkansas will have the same problem. >> some think she secureried too
8:38 am
far right because opponent believes in legalizing but she doesn't. >> that is one of the issues and you have a three-way race and there is somebody from the tea party of the republican party and that person is pulling off votes and a situation here in louisiana if they don't break 50% there is a runoff so with all that going on you may not know who controls the senate until a month or georgia pops up two months after the election. >> gentlemen i want to ask you about something else what about the black vote there is one state politician that says she can't do it without the black vote. in fact, had an interesting way of telling blacks not to vote for her and let's take a look at it. >> mary ran for senate promising to be a champion for the black community, 18 years later nothing changed and the communities are poorer than they were this 1996 and mary andrew lives in a $2 million mansion on capitol hill and you are not mary's cause and certainly not her charity. you are just a vote.
8:39 am
>> so before we can even get into that first off is he right? >> certainly. why isn't he right? >> dominick? >> well, he is not right because, one, i believe he is a republican. >> certainly. >> oh, no. >> and democrat, but that is not why he is not right. what i'm trying to say in an inarticulate way is that an is clearly partisan ad and trying to fool voters and what they are trying to do senator andrew tried to expand the base by i believe they increased democrat or state roles by maybe 100,000 and trying to push turn out and republicans are trying to make sure turn out doesen happen, if they get voters to the polls they may pull it off and had a career of narrow victories and don't write it off yet. >> can she do it and talking about a state that has 32% black population, that is one of the
8:40 am
high nest the country. >> high poverty. >> can she even do it. >> first off i don't think she can and secondly it's not just the population, it's who turns out the vote and right now with the president being so weak and not motivating people to vote and you showed bill clinton earlier today when he is president, he is down there, obama is not down there at all right now. >> the same thing happened to president bush with the mid term elections when he was this trouble the republicans put him on the bench as well so it's not just obama, it happens almost every time in modern history to a sitting president. >> but this is a different president. we are talking about an issue of race with the first black president, can you afford to be, can you afford to do that? >> he is now the raid active president and no longer the black president. >> let's talk about the big picture then and let's take a look at these faces, can you guys pull those up in the control room for me, these are the retiring democratic senators and could they be the ones to
8:41 am
blame if the democrats are minority in the senate because it's hard to hold majority when incumbent party is retiring what do you think? >> blame is tough to put on this case, these men when they decide they will retire and you have to retire at some point and if you ran you would be there six more years and blame is one thing and don't forget we have a republican in georgia that retired and that seat is up for a toss up. >> what do you think? >> biggy backing and easier if they were running or incumbents because they would have a better shot at maintaining those. >> looking at where they were and saw what romney did versus obama did and this is the issue, saw the writing on the wall and knew as you point out the history the president mid term election is atrocious and that is the issue. >> the final question will the g.o.p. take the senate? >> absolutely.
8:42 am
>> hopeful thinking? >> if you look at the independent polling too, and every person out there does the polling that is a nonpartisan polster says 60-90% if you look at the washington, "new york times" or even the virginia, university of virginia too. >> dominick will your party survive these retirements? >> i don't know if the democrats are going to pull this out. i would have to agree with mr. o'brien here that it looks tough for the democrats but don't just write them off just yet, we will see. >> it's going to be a long night too because louisiana has a runoff and so does georgia and georgia's runoff is not until january exactly. >> results on al jazeera america and thank you murray and formal congressional major dominick carter and thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> thank you. >> ukrainian president among the leaders voting today in
8:43 am
parliamentary elections and they put forth a large contingent of prowestern lawmakers to rush in a new era for the country and millions in the separatist regions are not taking place and good morning and 36 million people are registered to vote there so how is that turn out so far? >> what we had shortly after lunchtime here in kiev was about 20% of the voters had been to the polls, if you think back to the presidential elections we had here in may there was 60% turn out overall and does seem as if we are slightly down on the presidential elections but i don't think any one is in any doubt in this country as to the crucial significance of today's election as it tries to steer itself out of a very difficult period of transition. >> now, barnabie we have live
8:44 am
pictures of the polling stations we are talking about but the question is the country is so fractured, so with so many people not voting will the outcome really make any difference? >> well, i think it's important to put this in perspective. you are right, some 3 million people in the eastern part of the country, areas which are not controlled by pro-russian successionists will not be able to vote but that is only 10% of the electorate more or less so that leaves 90%. now, whether a new government can emerge that is strong enough to push through reforms, whether it is able to bring peace to ukraine at the same time keeping its territory intact and those are bigger questions that we will have to see when the results come through. >> and keep agree watch on things in kiev and thanks for being with us. it's a historic day in arab spring and voting underway in
8:45 am
tunisia and happening under a new constitution. this election is one of the final steps in political transition which followed 2011's revolution and led to the overthrow of the country's president and tunasha is successful with a peaceful transition to democracy and not on the ones voting and brazilians are heading to the polls today and decide who their next president is and runoff between incumbent rousseff and nivez and polls show them neck and neck and rousseff barely squeezed through opponent earlier this month and sending the election to today's runoff. today marks one month since a group of students vanished in mexico. this morning an artistic tribute to the missing teens and plus we will ask an expert whether mexican law enforcement may have been involved in the case and that is coming up, next in our weekend conversation just after the break. plus 10,000 americans sitting in
8:46 am
8:48 am
families in mexico are marking one month since the disappearance of 43 students. and gather to paint portraits of missing loved ones and students set to be rounded up by police and have not been seen since and families demanding meeting with the president in hopes of getting those answers and christopher wilson is a senior associate with the mexico institute at the woodrow center
8:49 am
for scholars and thanks for being with us and believed the 43 students who went missing on their way to the protest do we know exactly what they were protesting? >> actually i have not been able to get very clearances for that. there seems to be some indications they were actually there to gather money to lather participate in some protests in solidarity with students in mexico city. they are known, the school, the teachers school that they come from is known to be involved in many types of protests, a school with leftest roots and protesting for them is a very common occurrence but little information exactly about what they are protesting. >> also a lack of clarity around suspicion of the mayor and wife as well as the city's public safety director all played a role in this disappearance. why is there such inclusive evidence there and what facts do that have?
8:50 am
>> it's becoming more clear the central role of the wife of the mayor not just in the events of the day because it was her meeting that was being interrupted supposedly as she saw it by these protests but also the central role that she plays as a link between the criminal organization, garooz is the local organized group and government office and she was head of social services administration portion of the government and it's starting to look like she was also in some ways managing much more of the local government than that position would lead you to believe, that she was actually pulling the strings for many of the government decisions there including probably the disappearance of the students. >> you make an interest point about how fuzzy these lines sort of are and it's not true all of mexico and in a town like this how hard is this to distinguish it between crime groups? >> that is exactly right and how
8:51 am
to put it, in certain regions of mexico where it's so blurry the lines and in some way i think it may be easier for people to understand, it's a horrible event that happen and difficult to understand why a government would essentially kidnap and likely murder 43 students that were unarmed, that there were no indications they were connected to organized crime and hard to understand and maybe an easier way to understand it is why would the government do this but to understand the government was taken over by organized crime and why would organized crime do this. it's not an easy question to answer because this is clearly not good for organized crime business in the area to have the federal government to have the military and federal police come in and conduct an investigation to have to have the governor of the state step down but it's a little easier to understand how organized criminals would do this rather than government itself. >> but then the question becomes what should the government response be? because then the government seems like it's in a rock and a hard place and after weeks for
8:52 am
calls of resignation he stepped down to allow focus on solving the case of the students but what message does this sent to really step down in the middle of a crisis like this? >> i think it makes clear that the state itself has major issues, the state can't come in as the sort of the saving entity to come in and save things or to improve things in the city right now or at least not the way it was being run previously. i think that puts the burden very much on the federal government in mexico to try to figure out how to intervene here and how to do so successfully and this is the central question that this issue brings up is what can the mexican federal government which has much greater capacity than the local or state governments do in a case like this that involves such deep corruption of local and state-level institutions. and your hands are tied in some ways because mexico is a federal system like the united states. the states and the cities have much power.
8:53 am
constitutionally and ought to. but at the same time the federal government simply can't stand by and let things fall apart in places like this and it's not enough to send in the military to send in the federal police, it needs to be about finding ways to have accountability to reduce corruption in these local governments because as we are seeing this local governments can be taken over by criminal groups, you know, it can lead to just atrocities like this. >> finding ways around that and will influence the next election as he heads out. >> senior associate with the mexican institute at the wilson center and hawaii on edge as hot lava threatening one town on the big island and fast moving lava from kilauea is moving to the town in resent days and if it were to cross a nearby highway then 10,000 people would be in its past so far dozens of families have been told to get ready to evacuate at any moment now and the lava is 35 yards
8:54 am
wide and advanced 600 yard in the past few days and several roads are now closed because of potential for fires. and that weather also left behind a mess in the pacific northwest and metrologist dave warren is here to tell us about the message the cleanup. >> trying to clear it up and we have wind damage reports here and non-thunderstorm wind damage reports of wind gusts over 50, 60 miles per hour and over a widespread area and brought down a lot of trees. the storm is now pushing up into canada and going over the rockies and will continue to move east of the rockies and a little break here and a few showers and possibly a thunderstorm in the northwest, at least a break from that damaging wind, the storm is clearing out and looks like we are in the clear here for at least the next 2-3 days, morgan. >> thanks so much dave. the line between what is a sport and what is a hobby is often blurred when it comes to video gaming but an e gaming arena is hoping to put an end to debate once and for all and al jazeera
