with refugees trying to find a safe haven. what to do with orphan children hello. a new video appears to show the beheading of a number of hostages, including peter kassig. it appears to show members of islamic state of iraq and levant killing aide workers and soldiers. kassig was captured while in syria, on a mission to help wounded refugees. the white house responded, saying: if confirm, we are appalled by the murder of aid workers, and express condolences to family and friends:

crossing to imran khan. we have the statement from the white house, saying that they are determining the authenticity of the video. what are you hearing about this? >> well, what we do know is that the video was shared on platforms that are previously called credible. we know that the video has emanated from i.s.i.l. sources, and we know that the video shows the beheading of 12 syrians, i.s.i.l. say that soldiers - we don't know who they are, we can't confirm it. the beheading of the u.s. humanitarian aid workers. in the video, the reason for the beheading of the american aid worker is retribution for air strikes and the fact that peter kassig was an iraq war veteran, that he'd come to according to

i.s.i.l., a muslim country and killed muslims. he had converted to islam, and sent out letters expressing regret and fear, and his mother in october sent out an impassioned video plea asking i.s.i.l. to release him. all that to no avail. the reaction in iraq is slowly coming to us. we have spoken to several in dismay and shock that these tactics are going on. iraq is a country that had a large number beheaded as a result of al qaeda in iraq, tactics in 2006-2006 and 2008. it's a brutal tactic. it reminds them of those days. there's a lot of food for thought, and people thinking about what is going on. the video emanated from i.s.i.l. sources, and the family are finding out just as everyone and we are finding out about this as well. >> thank you very much.

imran khan reporting from baghdad we are taking you to nigeria, where we hear that the army says it has retaken the town of chibok from boko haram, where nearly 200 schoolgirls were kidnapped in april. we'll cross to mohammed, who will tell us about the statement made by the army, about taking bag the town of chibok. >> exactly. i spoke to local officials in that area, who said - who confirmed to me that action in chibok was liberated, and i was able to get in touch with one of the vigilantes who participated. at the moment the fighters are out of up to , but they don't think it's safe for people to

come back. they don't know what is happening next. for the time being, boko haram has left town. >> we know when boko haram targeted chibok, a lot of people left the town. why has this town been the tart of boko haram obvious the -- target of bok or over the past couple of months. >> chibok in particular lies close to the border where the base of boko haram is. basically when they - when the fighters from the group lead from this side of borno to another to attack. that is where they are close by. most of the areas have been attacked by boko haram before, and chibok, in particular - remember seven months ago. boko haram took 200, 300 girls from the town. since then, it has been in the

international lime light. for boko haram, it's more of a publicity stunt, and it's to show they can attack at will, and take control of any place they want. for the military it's a matter of pride. this town is in international limelight, and they'll do everything possible to take back such territories. >> okay, they can take it back. what are they saying about how they'll hold on to it? >> well that is another question. that's a big problem. we have also heard about some towns liberated a few days ago. like the town of mobi, kongi and hong. we get reports from those areas that boko haram fighters are back in town. chasing boko haram away, and holding them account for a long time is another proposition. these people are captured. like the nigerian government said, they are not fighting a conventional war, they are fighting a guerilla war.

>> thank you for the time being, reporting from abuja. >> people living in chibok, accuse government soldiers of fa failing to clear the area. >> reporter: when boko haram fighters attacked the town of chibok last week, people living there expected the nigeria army to protect them. instead the soldiers stationed there abandoned them. >> translation: we managed to get to the road and saw soldiers at a checkpoint, as if they were brave. when the sounds of the gunshots got closer, they jumped into their vehicles and drove us, leaving us behind. >> billy was in school. he was injured but escaped. some of his friend were kill. my ambition and studies were stopped because all this happened. it told me, in fact, and all difficulties were accused, and

make me scared. >> thousands have been forced to leave their homes because of the fighting. the family travelled to abuja, where they'll wait until it is safe to go home. >> the town of chibok is a christian enclave. it's been attacked before. in april, boko haram abducted 270 schoolgirls, most christians. some escaped. 219 are held by the group. many people have little faith in the army, especially af the latest attack in chibok. >> we hear gunshot all over. when i went out i see soldiers who are running with the advance. no, you cannot control yourself. >> the army announced a ceasefire with boko haram, which the group never agreed to. for the people, chaos and violence continued.

>> iraqi medical sources in fallujah say several civilians and two children have been killed by army shellings. they were under siege by i.s.i.l. the iraqi military closed off the roads leading to that city. there has been an explosion outside the afghan parliament in kaboom, killing three people. a suicide bomber targeted sharia, a member of parliament and leading rights. she was injured along with 17 other. >> the g20 meeting agreed a plan that could boost the global economy. as scott heidler reports, other issues not on the agenda were a big distraction. >> at the end of the two days, an ambition plan was announced. one that would reduce the

economy. this will happen by increasing trade and infrastructure. this year, the g20 has delivered real practical outcomes, because of the efforts that the g20 made this year, culminating in the last 48 hours, people around the world are going to be better off. that's what it's all about. >> the prime minister said climate change would not be discussed at g20, it made its way into the plan. >> prime minister abbott stuck to his promise that the official communique from the g20 summit would be three pages long. some feel what is in the document will be difficult to implement. >> it's not a particularly actionable document. if you have to stuff everything into an arbitrary on three pages, inevitably you would say everything in generality. >> reporter: geopolitics entered the conversation, and at times

overshadowed it. >> as a consequence, we'll continue to maintain the economic isolation. while maintaining the possibility of a diplomatic solution. it is not our preference to see russia isolated the way ifs. >> the much talked about conversation between tony abbott and vladimir putin never happened. >> translation: the ukranian situation, in my view, has a good chance of a resolution, no matter how strange it sounds. the sanctions hurt those who they are imposed on, and those that imposed them. late in the day the leaders departed each with unique challenges and a task of selling the g20 ideas to the domestic audience a former russian diplomat was posted to washington d.c. he says that there are no political implications from vladimir putin's early departure

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

political substance and meaning. >> coming up next - putting the pressure on how ukraine's government is squeezing people in pro-russian rebel held areas further. and we report on how india is bracing for a rise in pneumonia cases among children this winter.

hello again, the top stories on al jazeera, a video has been posted online that appears to

this update from donetsk. >> reporter: people here are getting used to the new reality brought about by petro porashenko's decree, among the immediate, was banking services denied to the breakaway parts of the country. we are getting reports of people going shopping with credit cards, and not being successful. that they are not accepted by banks in the west of ukraine. as well as that, people tried to top up mobile phones, and not able to do that at the terminal. there are immediate results of this decree. in some ways it's cementing what has been the case. there's not been a means of providing state united nations and services in the areas of ukraine for some months now. the donetsk people's rub like, the self-proclaimed leadership of this part of ukraine is

promising to pick up the slack, promising to provide pensions. that is still very much a work in progress. some questions as to whether russia will step in and help to pick up the slack. vladimir putin promised to assist the whole of ukraine, rise from its knees, he said. he heavily criticized petro porashenko's move on saturday, saying it was a big mistake. essentially it was the cutting off of part of his territory. it's a different view coming from kiev. they are not seeing much assistance they are talking about troops crossing the border. there are fears that this fragile ceasefire was held, that it is under real threat and faced losing territory. >> the united arab emirates released an updated list of what it considers terror lifts.

the united arab emirates. we don't understand why we are on the list. >> frankly, i think it's unfair to the united arab emirates for us to make guesses about what the objective is. whether the report is accurate. my personal relationship with the emirates is nothing less than four years of the beautiful years if my life living in the united arab emirates and i have fond memories of it. i don't think it's right to comment on some areas, or reasons we don't know. egypt's army forces say they killed terrorists in north sinai. the minister of defence released pictures of troops on patrol in the area. and this week, operating the allegiance, hundreds of police and soldiers have been killed in the attacks since the overthrow last year
