the past that have been confirmed it allegedly shows peter, he had convert today islam, being beheaded as well as several syrian soldiers. once again, there is a man wearing black on the video, doing the beheadings. this is a very graphic video. we do have a copy of it. we are not going to show you it. i haven't seen it personally. but what we do know is this is coming from credible sources. the video comes from aleppo. and once again, it's another message to the u.s. that the isil fighters are willing to go as far as they can in order to be able to win this fight against the coalition. now, we have seen these kinds of videos before. we do know the kind of twitter accounts it comes from. but it's very difficult to confirm the authenticity of these videos. also we have to be very careful in that his family won't have been informed. they'll be finding out much the same way the world has just found out on social media

account on twitter account and this is really the way isil work. there is no advance warning of any of this, they just release the videos out in to the open. it's their way of saying to the families that you are not in control. to saying to the americans you are not in control when it comes to hostages like these. >> it leaves the americans in a difficult situation. it comes down to a very percentage one on one level when you have hostages being held for such a long time like this. >> reporter: that's absolutely right. we expect, and we have seen this in the past. expect to hear a lot of american politicians come out and say the war other isil needs to be fought. there needs to be an escalation, expect a lot of shocked people saying this is just brutality and chaos going on and this needs to be stopped right now. but the awful thing about this is, is that these videos are so graphic. they don't hold anything back, you just simply can't watch them. and just you feel so sorry for the families who have to go through all of this without

knowing whether this video is confirmed or not. like you say, it does come down to this very personal level. it's a brutal tactic and one ice it's used to great effect. >> peter kassig i mention aid few details about immaterial h he's young, he's 26, was 26 an iraq war veteran you made the point as well that he goes by another name con vitt vertin coo islam. tell us a bit more about what you know about him. >> reporter: we don't know very much. we know that he was captured in syria at least a year ago. that he had -- that he was a young man with a lot of passion to try to change the world. to try to helpful he had been to an iraq war veteran. he had seen what had gone on in this country. he wanted to go to syria. he wanted to help. he was clearly politically engaged he was clearly somebody that took a look at the world and said maybe i can help to change the world being a humanitarian aid worker he wanted to make a difference. what we don't know is how exactly, exactly how he was captured. he was captured in syria through

a tid napping for money and then passed on through various different groups until he reached the hands of isil. what we dough no is isil have used him like they have used all of the people that they have executed so far. as a prop began at that tool. doesn't really matter to them. who these people are. whether they are soldiers or humanitarian aid workers as long as they have a western passport they use for propaganda purposes. and this is just the most brutal way of using somebody like that. >> okay. imran i'll let you go in a second. just if you wouldn't mind recapping for our viewers might be joining us a little after the top of the hour tell us what we have learned about peter kassig in the video. >> reporter: what we know is there are red credible sources that have released video that have been confirm before on isil. this video allege allegedly she video of peeder but other syrian soldiers in a hleb owe aleppo.

we are not expect to go hear anything from the u.s. and the state department or the family. they will be finding out as we are as welling. this this is one of those situations where the information is coming to us with the control of isil. we have no other way of finding or verifying what this video actually con takes until it gets forensically looks at by experts but what we do know the source that his it's coming from do seem to be credible and it's just another heartbreaking scenario for the families involved. >> thank you imran kahn in baghdad with the breaking news of the apparent beheading of american aid working peter cass i gokassig: blower on that to come but we are looking now at the g20 countries that are meeting in brisbaneing saying the agreement could be worth more than two thrill i don't know dollars over the economy for five years. if they psyched they will lift

growth by more than 2%. creating 200 million jobs in the next five years. >> this year the g20 has delivered real, practical outcomes and because of the efforts that the g20 has made, this year culminating in the last 48 hours, people right around the world are going to be better off. and that's what it's all about. >> but before tony abbott released that final communique, it was this scene, russian president vladimir putin breaking protocol and leaching the g20 early. on saturday he had been cornered by western leaders over the cries let ukraine where pro-russian separatists and government forces have been fighting for months. >> if he continues down the path that he is on, violating international law, providing heavy arms to the separatists in ukraine, violating an agreement that he agreed to just a few

weeks ago, the minsk agreement that would have lowered the temperature and the killing in the disputed areas and make -- providing us a pathway for a diplomatic resolution, then the isolation that russia is currently experiencing will continue. >> more now from andrew thomas our correspondent who has been covering the g20 in brisbane. >> reporter: the focus at the ends of the g20 summit should be entirely on this. the three-page communique focus to the point that australia's government on how the world can improve its economic performance over the next five years, potentially create $2 trillion more of growth that could create millions, perhaps hundreds of millions of new jobs, but this communique has been overshadowed frankly by the early departure of vladimir putin. the russian president having been up snubbed by many leaders here in brisbane over his country's alleged involve in

ukraine, some world leaders literally turned hick back on them on tuesday, he delivered a snub of his own by leaving on sunday. before the communique was recipients lessed very much breaking with protocol also meaning that vladimir putin avoided hearing other world leaders at their press conferences once the communique was out condemning russia. the american president said vladimir putin, russia was vie laying its agreements when it came to you crank the british prime minister david cameron demanded that russia fully couldn't in to the investigation in to mh stephen. bee leaching he didn't criticisms and he's well on his way back to russia. let's go to moscow now and talk to a former russian diplomat who was previously posted in washington, d.c. we thank you for your time, sir. any great surprise -- >> thank you. >> that vladimir putin chose to leave early? he was really made to feel quite unwelcome at the g20. >> no, it's not a surprise

because putin, in his press conference that was held during breakfast lunch with all leaders of 20, he had a press conference before his departure. departure he explained because -- soon that he explained that the flight will taken it -- nine hours, two hours staying there, and then after that 10 hours to moscow. it is a long way and he explained that should be not so tired. well, anyhow, he estimated all results, final communique of g20 as a positive step and an atmosphere as he said constructive, not good but constructive. and workable. and that's why i consider that his departure doesn't have any

political substance, any political meaning. >> but he left early, as our correspondent pointed out he avoided hearing all the press conferences afterwards which criticized him. i mean, let me put it another way. is there much point in vladimir putin coming to these sorts of events if he's going to be ignored and and if he's seemingly going not to cooperate. >> other people, barack obama mainly, others are following his steps. i think that barack obama speech opened all american position, that russia is a threat to the world. that russia is innovating ukraine. and that he doesn't notice that ukrainian army is bombarding civil cities, villages in donetsk and luhansk. but it is not donetsk and luhansk bombarding other territories of the ukraine. -- >> being on, what about something like mh17, though, that was brought up by tony

abbott as with el and other leaders saying this should have been resolved now or the people should have been allowed in and russia should be cooperating more on that front. >> well, russia is very cooperative. and i think that putin him sevef opened the dialogue between donetsk and luhansk and the central ukrainian government. he suggested some months ago of the program of 12 points to solve this issue with starting military actions with stopping killing, but as it occurred that under pressure of the united states, because it wasn't participated in minsk, it was only europe, russia, ukraine government and the regions -- >> president obama -- forgive me to interrupting. when personal says that russia or vladimir putin is not stick to go his commitments, i mean,

those are the ones that you are talking about just then that you are saying he is and that he's laid out? is it just a complete breakdown in communication here? >> well, i don't think russia doesn't follow any signatures that they made. but the western representative do it. because in february they signed minister of foreign affairs, germany, france, and yanukovych signed an agreement to postpone elections to make the end for any disturbances in kiev, and after that, they supported the cued at that in keif that brought to power the rightest wing of political parties in ukraine. so i think that russia is trying to settle the issue.

under western borders. but i don't notice any move to peaceful solution from american side who inspiring all those who are now ruling in kiev. russia acknowledged new ukrainian government authorities in spite of the fact that russia considered is not -- it's unlawful. >> we'll leave it at that. thank you very much for your time. >> thank you. it's been an explores outside the afghan parliament in kabul killing at least three people. a suicide bomber park ted a member of parliament and a leading advocates of women's rights in afghanistan. she was injured i in the attack along with 17 others. presents more ahead on al jazerra. protests in george a over russia's latest deal. people living in the nigerian town are choosing government
