from entering the country but it's impossible to police every meter of the more than 900 kilometer board border with syria. >> reporter: a report says that more than 50,000 people from 80 countries have traveled to iraq and syria in recent years to become fighters. many will have crossed into turkey. anyone determined enough to join isil will still try to cross the border. with money and the right corrections there is a chance they'll make it. eventually. bernard smith al jazeera, on the turkey syria border. >> iraq's prime minister says that the international community has been slow in responding to the threat posed by isil. meanwhile, isil fighters killed at least 24 members of the kurdish security forces in the attack in northern iraq. we have reports from the iraqi city of erbil. >> reporter: heavy fighting.

gwer is a crucial area, and they say that they will never let gwer fall. >> in syria five members of the same family among them three children have been killed by government airstrikes in homs. witnesses say three barrel bombs were dropped by security forces over the town. homs has seen continuous shelling forces many to flee. 3,000 residential homes have been destroyed in the area. libya's general national congress is meeting in tripoli to discuss the upcoming u.n. mediate talks with its rival part in tobruk. the talks are scheduled to take place in geneva next week. interpol has put ukraine's former president on the

notice against president yanukovych will be seen as as a major progress by the government. there has been a lot of inter-departmental finger pointing that has taken so long. just a month ago interpol refuse refused to put former president presidentan slowpresident yanukovych on the list. and its rush where the former president is now living. even though russia is signed up for the interpol club, it's highly unlikely that it will hand over the former president to the ukrainian authorities. russia itself would like the extradition of of people in

ukraine, and ukraine refuses. so it's likely that russia's president will refuse to extradite the former president. >> we have more on cuba's historic deal with the united states. >> we have a look of automaker's focus on speed and power.
