. >> welcome to al jazeera. these are our top stories. taliban claim responsibility where 20 pool are killed. civil rights groups march in the u.s. capitol to highlight police

brutality. >> plus, in central kenya where for some people the only way to health clinics is by motorcycle. >> we begin this news hour in iraq where the army says it has killed 112 fighters in the past 24 hours. there has been heavy fighting in anbar province over the last couple of days, and isil fighters have been making gains there. the provincial governo government said it will be one or loss for anbar. anbar is crucial for the army. it covers a third of its land mass. it is surrounded by syria, jordan and saudi arabia. anbar's internal bound whic

boundaries extent all the way to baghdad. we have more on the fight of anbar province. >> reporter: here in anbar fight something in close range and almost personal. firing a mortar across the country road on the eastern outskirts of ramadi. he's aiming at where isil are hold up in palm groves. they are part of a group trained by american special forces. sniper mohammed jabar i says he's fighting for his family and his country. he has his daughter's name tattooed on his hand. >> little by little we're advancing. >> reporter: this is a strategic

spot. fallujah and the south of ramadi are trying to coordinate the fight against isil. the fighting has been fierce. this isil gunman was killed when a sniper bullet hit the grenade he was about to launch. >> we destroyed their hide out. this is all in cooperation of the eighth and tenth iraqi army. we're clearing all the or that iorchards and farms. they're trapped now. >> reporter: this rural area has become a battlefield. here there is a fight within a fight, isil against the sunni tribes that have turned against them. when this special forces team finishes the deployment men will go back to the air base in western anbar.

there are american military advisers back on the base. fight something here. around baghdad isil has been driven back by isi shia militia forces. tribal leaders in anbar calling for arms and ammunition. some are even calling for help by american troops on the ground. that likely won't happen, but it's an indication of how desperate the fight is in iraq's province. >> elsewhere in iraq we're getting intense fighting. >> reporter: the peshmerga, the pkk and they are crying out for an airstrikes here because isil fighters are really pushing up

the ravine. they have pushed with their own vehicles behind. and there is an advance o on the sinjar mountains. they think because there was an airstrike one of those airstrikes do come in. now we're hearing that they've managed to corral two more isil vehicles while the fighting is going on. >> the united kingdom will continue to send troops to iraq in the help against isil fighters. they will be deployed next month to train soldiers. u.s the u.k. has joined in airstrikes against isil. in india the police

arrested a 4-year-old man. he's accused of inciting war against india's allies after posting tweets about isil's activities. we are more from new delhi. >> reporter: police in india say this is the man wh whose extreme post had attracted 18,000 followers. they say he was leading a double life, working as a marketing executive during the day while operating a pro isil twitter account by night. his twitter handle was shami witness, and india's channel four news uncovered his real identity. >> i have not harmed anybody. i have not broken any laws of the country. i haven't waged any war against

people of india. i have not waged war against anybody. i just said stuff. people followed me. i followed them back, and we talked. >> the police arrested him saturday morning, but they say he has no direct links with isil. he's charged with a number of crimes including inciting war against india's allies. >> analysts say that it is not part of a wider movement in india. >> his impact may have significant dangers in places where he got his largest following. which is basically in the u.k. and then in europe.

now in these places he may actually end up as a tool of recruitment. >> his boasts may have been used by isil recruits who followed him on twitter. >> they say that he was simply a propagandist whose tweets put him behind bars. >> let's go to more on this. let's go to several books on the state of isis. >> now much like i'm presuming like many others who are still on twitter, some have been described as a fan boy more than an actual threat.

what is your take on this case. >> i think the fan boy characterization is create but he was influential. if you look at what he distributed it indicates he was getting his information the same way someone like me would, you know th the source ross online. however, where it will get complicated is whether he was facilitating travel, there were crimes committed if it was the united states, that would be really the problem for someone like him. >> now, isil has really tapped in the use of social media to recruit supporters, fighters, and also to spread their campaign. paint for us a picture of the sort of person or people who would be behind their pr campaign, so to speak.

>> well, there is an official isis media team. those people are relatively low profile. they aren't the ones who get a lot of attention. shami witness was highly visible. that's why it's probably he did not have a direct connection to isil leadership. the people doing the work, those who were creating the media and did the distribution, are not well-known outside of counterterrorism circles and isil circles. and then they have a circle around them. i'll draw a network chart of how these things spread. they look like concentric circles. there are people around them who will take that message and rebeat i retweet it and send it around each other and then the

circle goes to a wider circle. >> there have been other media campaigns to try to come back isil's ideology. are they working? >> well, they have an affect. the problem is trying to counter a group like this is that they are mono maniacs. they're obsessed with their subject materials. they will go long past the point that any reasonable person, a non-extremist is going to be able to continue because we have lives. we go off and have our families and our jobs. and shami is a good example of this. his output, he really tweeted all the time. he was on twitter a lot. he was able to devote a lot of time to this because did he not seem to have any other life. >> it's great getting your insight. thank you very much.

the author of" isis: the state of terror." jennifer glasse reports now from kabul on a suicide attack. >> reporter: the taliban said that it attacked a bus carrying army personnel. it struck at the height of the evening rush hour. >> we wanted to get a burger. when we turned around the bus was in flames. >> when the explosion happened i noticed two soldiers getting out of the bus. one of them was injured on his leg. the other one jumped out of the bus window in the fire brigade arrived. the rest of the soldiers burned inside. >> afghans are concerned about the security.

of black men and boys who have been killed by police in the past few months. they call for racial discriminatory practices. thomas, it looks like you're in the smack of the thick of things. how different are these protests from those we've seen in the last few weeks? >> well, yo we've never seen the accumulation of people in one place especially in a national setting as we have today. up until now it has been dispersed demonstrations disrupting traffic in various communities. here you have an organized demonstration on the main thoroughfare on the white house and the u.s. capitol with a number of people coming up here all across the east coast and the midwest. try to give a picture to the

media of an organized effort nationwide to change things at the local level among--between police and the communities that they serve. what we've been hearing are pro session of speakers, most of them young people, college and even high school students who are describing what they call terrible treatment by the police, being singe singled out, racially profiled, and their insistence that this has to change. one of the speakers a couple of minutes ago said we're not only here to protest, but we're going home and problem solving. one of the things i heard from a speaker just a few minutes ago that the community tried to cultivate a new generation of police officers through police cadets in much closer coordination in the communities in which they're situated. those are the kinds of

suggestions and kinds of active proposals they're trying to formulate here. again, this is putting a national frame on a situation that is a national phenomenon, but trying to send that message back to the local communities and to see how reforms can be carried out in those areas. >> what has been the response? >> there is a minimal of police presence here. this is an authorized demonstration that was allowed allowed--5,000 people are allowed to demonstrate at the beginning point of this demonstration, but obviously it's far more than 5,000 people right now. the police have basically said in their individual segments

justifying grand jury decisions not to indict police officers in the case of ferguson, missouri, and in new york city, that thi the circumstances were not the way people portrayed them to be. people who operated or who conducting themselves in an illegal way, but in new york, for example, when the mayor expressed disappointment in the grand jury not to indict the officer involved in the chokehold death of eric garner, he has now been disinvited of showing up to any funeral of any police officer killed in the line of duty. the politicians are appealing to

the mob, and not to the people, the guardians of law and order in the treats. >> thank you on the civil rights demonstration that is currently taking place in washington, d.c. moving on in the haitian president has confirmed that he will accept the resignation of its prime minister. there have been protests in the port-au-prince for several weeks now. and demonstrators are calling for the prime minister and the president to quit. >> for days the chance for political opposition have resounded in the streets. fly was no different. protesters game with slogans and a coug coffin to mark what he describhe resign. when protesters got to the presidential pal, an u.n.

peacekeeping force fired tear gas into the crowd and live ammunition over the heads. there are no reports of casualties. now it seems at least one senior minister is going. president said he will accept his prime minister's resignation. >> i take this opportunity to thank the members of the commission. i have agreed with their recommendation and i'm in agreement with the worship that has created hope for the country. we're putting it into effect as soon as possible. >> for many protesters in the street this is not enough. >> we're carrying this coffin to symbolize what we're going through with this administration. no one can save him. not even john kerry can save him. and obama cannot save him. that means it's over. >> he rode away the popularity of young people to win haiti's election in 2011. he took office one year after the orang earthquake, which

killed tens of thousands of people and left many more destitute. as a candidate he promised reformist policies and said his government would build houses for those left homeless by the quake. but that optimism has gone. in 2011 he failed the municipal elections, and elections for the senate. by next month the electoral terms of both houses of parliament will be over. last month he established a commission to break the deadlock and form a consensus government. but many of his opponents doubt his sincerity. some say he's trying to cling on to power. dominick cane, al jazeera. >> protest necessary hong kong continue to defy orders to leave the streets despite the threat of being forcebly removed by police. dozens of tents are still standing at the last site of what is known as the umbrella

ambulance service mean that live in rural areas can't get to hospital services. one organization is offering help in the form of a motorcycle. >> they just asked their village social worker to get her an ambulance. she feels feverish and is infected with chiggers. chiggers are common in many rural areas in sub-sahara africa, and are caused by poor hygiene. >> it's all over my legs and hands. my legs are painful. this is how my life has been. >> her feet are swollen, and walking has become difficult. it is easily treatable, but if left too long it can lead to t

tetanus, gangrene and can be fatal. >> when rains the roads become wet, and movement is absolutely difficult. you can see this ambulance has to be pushed most of the way but those who live hearsay that it's a better alternative to physically carrying patients or using wheel barrels. riding through the mud in the rain takes patience and precision, but it seems to be the quickest option. private ambulances are too expensive. after a difficult trip that takes about an hour, they finally get to the dispensary. >> just the other day i helped to deliver a baby. we took her to the hospital

safely, and she gave birth. >> stanley, an anti-chigger campaigner. >> we come to see people in their homes who are not able to walk. they're not able to access information on how to get treatment. >> now this woman will have tests done and the health workers will decide whether to refer her to the main district hospital 30 kilometers away for admission or to treat her here or send her home. al jazeera, muronga, kenya. >> the u.n. tries to broker a freeze in the fighting. but rebel groups want more.

there are people going out needed healthcare, and our major kernel is that we're fearful if the situation does fought change you might tart to see an increase in mortality in the area. >> without foreign aid it does not look like the government will continue its care of syrians, in the meantime it's these people who will have to suffer more than they already have. nisreen el-shamayleh al jazeera. >> sunni tribes and houthi rebels have agreed to stop fighting. witnesses say that shia houthi attacked the outskirts of the town using tanks and heavy weapon. they ar >> al jazeera continues to demand the release of our three journalist who is have been in prison in egypt for 350 days. missouri were jailed for charges
