>> a tangible result in a negotiation. >> back in disease, the f.a.r.c. announced an indefinite ceasefire, putting an end to their attack on the town and infrastructure. now comes a limited reduction in facilities which will be subject to review in a month. another step was reducing the impact for negotiations. while it continued in cuba. >> the columbian military will serve the right to continue air raids. the government is confident enough that the talks you are moving forward and could be entering the final stage. many that oppose the talks accuse santos of being to weak with the rebels islamic state of iraq and levant released footage pur pottedly showing a young boy killing -- purposedly showing a

young boy killing an iraqi man. he was accused of working as a spy for moss add, the israelian intelligence agencies. his father said he was kill for trying to leave i.s.i.l. the iraqi military entered tikrit seizing the predominantly sunni city last june. some residents fear that shia militias fighting along side forces may carry out revenge attacks there. >> holding the flag of the islamic state of iraq and levant upside down is a victory sign for they say soldiers and militias. they have retaken areas a few kilometres away from tikrit, where a major offensive is under way. >> the popular mobilization of

militia men, iraqi forces, priests and tribes were able to achieve great victories. >> this is a town on the outskirts of the creek. people are scared of attacks by militias. some of that fear is evident. that may be our hoot burnt down. a threat to the population is so great that one of iraq's top clerics issued a warning. >> the leader of the sadr movement has urged the iraqi government to investigate and punish anyone using violence, torture and assaults against sunni residents, warned against the mosques and destruction of areas retaken from i.s.i.l. reality on the ground is different. many fighters wanted to avenge the oppression and i.s.i.l. re totality. >> it's a promise from the security units to the iraqi

people, that we will defeat the energy and get revenge for the iraqi saladin this convoy is advancing to fallujah. battles are occurring further north. kurdish peshmerga forces say they stopped this truck before it could carry out a suicide bomb on one of their positions, and say they have captured more territory from i.s.i.l. it will take time before iraqis can benefit from the games. people are afraid to come back to their homes, taken two months ago. i came back to check. i dare not bring my families it's not safe. that sense of safety is not just threatened by fighters but sectarian conditions the u.k. is debating air

travel laws after three girls travelled to syria to join i.s.i.l. the government is pushing measures that make airlines more accountable. >> reporter: airline staff could have mistaken these schoolgirls for friend on holiday to turkey. the teenagers left the family in london to join fighters in syria. it's estimated hundreds of britains have done the same. many teenagers, travelling by turkey, some going to marry others to tight, torture and kill. eager to stop them members of parliament asked the girls fam what signs to look for -- pham lies what signs to look for. they said there were no clues. >> we monitored what she said. when she was on the phone. she was reading books, when they played games, had competition. we feel like we had monitored,

as much as we could. obviously we missed something out. >> the father of one of the girls had this warning. >> i say be vigilant. not to fall in the same trap we fall. >> reporter: also under scrutiny the airline that carried the girls and others out of britain. the government is pushing through measures to make them more account ail. it's the authority to carry and it could stop members were travelling. it could find airlines if they fail to provide detailed information on passengers crew and service staff and stop airlines flying into the u.k. if they fail to comply with security directions. these and other powers in the pipe line will enhance the government's ability to monitor and control the actions of those who pose a threat. the girls were not on a watch

list. it wouldn't have stopped them. more will follow in their footsteps. >> hundreds of migrant workers in the unit arab emirates held a rally demanding more pay on work to build high-end department. police say they resolved the dispute in less than an hour after negotiations started with the workers. >> family planning to be more difficult, setting iranian women back decades and reduce them to baby making machines. iran's supreme leaders have criticized family planning calling for the population to about doubled. two bills are being looked at to reduce access to contraceptives

much. >> i'm joined by a professor. what do you make of this? >> i don't want amnesty international to be an unbiased organization it's very much in the western camp. the saudi princess said on "hard talk" a couple of years ago, that amnesty has been mild towards saudi arabia because of oil. in any case... >> i'm not sure what that has to do with the report. do you agree that it will turn women into baby making machines? >> yes, of course. it's a silly statement. the head of my faculty my boss of tehran is a woman. we have woman pilots people in the cabinet, parliamentarians. the point is that actually ayatollah khamenei supported family planning at a time when population growth was high dangerously high. now the fear is the opposite that the growth rate has

decreased more than it should and they are afraid that 20 years from now iran will have an ageing population where it will not have enough young people to sustain it. >> is this the right way to go about it. what happens to poor families that wouldn't be able to support having lots of children. >> well actually contrary to what is said contrary - contraceptives will continue to be available, and there'll be no limitation to the different forms that are used. >> no there'll be limitations. there'll be punishment if you go that - if you do go that route going into the workforce. is the issue freedom of choice. shouldn't we choose whether you want one or seven children? >> no that's - that's not being debated. >> isn't it freedom of choice? >> the law... ..well, if you allow me to

respond i'll explain. what the law, which has not been passed yet, is going to do it's going to support women who have children. so if there isn't a job available and a woman or family have children to support, that person will have priority over those who do not have children. >> and you'll be punished if you don't have children. >> that's not punishment it's a government policy. you can look at it the other way around. amnesty is saying we should impoverish children. if we want to make a caricature policy, we can caricature amnesty international's report as well. a person with children is punished. >> if you have seven children you'll be rewarded with a high-paying job? >> i don't think so. i don't think that's the objective.

the point is, for example, the law that has been changed right now is that government employees with four children, the four children - the insurance is not paid by the government. that is a penalty. what they have done is said from now on those with four or five children will be insured by the government. >> do you think this should be a government issue. i'll go back to my original point. should it be a freedom of choice. >> there is freedom of choice. if a woman or a male doesn't want to have children contraceptives are available in all the shops and drug stores will be available in health care centers and iran teaching them to use the contraceptives. we don't need to describe what they are. the point is that the government has to look 30 years ahead. the fear is that since iran is a huge population explosion in the

1980s. if the current trend continues, remember, if it supports family planning if the trend continues, 20 years from now iran will have a serious problem. the government has to support individuals, they have to support families and they have to sustain country for years to come. >> let's leave it there. i will be talking to quite a few women throughout the day to get their viewpoint on this and whether or not they support you. >> still to come on al jazeera, the new programme aimed at closing the golden triangle. a notorious region, to drug trafficking. >> icy relations between russia and the west are pushing up costs.

al jazeera america's hard hitting... >> today they will be arrested... >> ground breaking... >> they're firing canisters of gas at us... >> emmy award winning investigative series... deadly force: arming america's police only on al jazeera america

seen over a couple of days shoes a display along buildings and one of the bridges has blown up. some are backed by shia militias. they do have i.s.i.l. on the defensive. the fighters are leaving. parts of that city appear to be under government control again. >> i was going to say that i should imagine that the difficult part of the battle begins now, when they engage in urban warfare. >> absolutely. and one of the things that the group is focused on as well is what happens as the shia militia members and troops fall into the city and the surrounding areas. we are hearing reports of the capture of villages in the fighting. in terms of revenge or just the consequence of fires fighting

between iraqi forces and i.s.i.l. there's a potential here and that is something that everyone is concerned about. >> thank you for that. >> hillary clinton defended her use of a personal email account while serving as u.s. secretary of state. the republicans accused her of trying to block transparency. comey reports. >> reporter: former u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton was the the u.n. to speak on women's issues. the big draw was outside the event. the media descended in throngs to here an explanation for using a perm email account for official business while secretary of state. speaking about the issue, secretary clinton insisted she broke no rules. >> and i got to work as secretary of state i opted for convenience to use my personal email lent which was allowed by the state bept cause i thought

it be easier to carry one device for my work and personal emails instead of two. >> reporter: the state department says it asked all former secretaries of state to hand over official emails on personal accounts last october after more stringent guidelines on the use of personal emails came into effect. secretary clinton was not the only one to use a personal lent. so d her predecessor, colin powell. >> he used a personal email during had tenure as secretary of state. he has taken no records with him and has no recognise of emails in an account no longer operate if. >> reporter: clinton handed over 50,000 emails. a committee into an attack in benghazi leaving 400 dead

received 300 emails. that is not satisfying republican critics who questioned the lack of transparency. the secretary of state has enormous responsibility and jurisdiction, said the chairman of the select committee on benghazi: they want her to provide access to her private email server. secretary clinton says she's happy to make her official emails, but not her server public. >> reporter: hillary clinton came to the united nations to talk about empowering women, an issue she worked on for years and one highlighted in a presidential campaign. now all the focus is on the email and whether or not having a private account could derail her capped dassy -- candidacy the u.s. town of ferguson lost its top politician who is out after a report saying the

town's police force is racially biased. the report followed the killing of a black teenager. city manager john shaw had been on the job for eight years. the report was linked to the firing of a county clark who sent racist emails. the resignation of the two police officers and the judge former executives are being sued by a flight attendant over the nut-rage case. kim is alleging an ex-vice president physically attacked her for the way she served nuts on a plane taking off from new york. it happened in december. the former executive was gaoled for obstructing aviation safety. >> countries along the mekong river will hold talks to combat drug trafficking. the area where thailand myanmar and laos merge and is one of the

biggest opium producing areas. other drugs are making an impact too. >> it's been the early morning routine for 10 years. the nets spread along the river. >> fishing is not easy living. it's difficult here in the golden triangle, a notorious region for drug trafficking. >> translation: trying to avoid confrontation with drug traffickers, especially at night. they use small fishing peers like this to off-load drugs. i never talk to them as i fear for my life. >> three months ago, thailand, laos and myanmar launched an attack. they say there has been a 50% increase in arrests and cease tours. >> an arrest in one country can

lead to another arrest in another country. coordination can lead to many rests, and to drug kingpins. >> reporter: an example happened at the headquarters recently. thai officers were shown how tea packets were used to smuggle methamphet mean locally auld ice. their counterparts saw the same thing. all know now to keep an i out for the tea packets. >> about 5,000 soldiers and police officers are directed by the coordination centre. in each country there were provinces bordering or connected to the golden triangle. the operations ranging from trafficking, breaking up money laundering syndicates. they operate within their territories and borders. there are no joint operations

number of. >> it's a trust-building exercise, to work together on the same initiative. that's a lot of barriers that have to come down. they have to trust each other and work together. as night falls on a bend of the mekong, there's hope for the fishermen who pull their livelihood from the river. if the programme is successful. they'll have less to worry about. as there'll be fewer traffickers on their stretch of the river, and fishing peers will be used to fish and not illegal cargo. >> two australian men facing death for drug trafficking in indonesia have been visited by their family. a brother of myuran sukamaran asked that he and fellow inmate serve a life in prison rather than face the death penalty. australia prime minister tony abbott refuses to be drawn into a diplomatic fight over the

executions. >> we deplore drug crime, we understand the position of the indonesian government, that it wants to crack down on drug crime. it is entirely the same as ours but these two individuals, because they are reformed have become an asset in indonesia's fight against drug crime. that's why i think it's counterproductive to execute them. >> remembrance ceremonies in towns and cities around the disaster zone, and in tokyo, the emperor and empress lead tributes to those who died. thousands were swept away in 2011. that sparked a nuclear crisis. greece is demanding world war ii repatriations from germany. a 1960 deal with the germans was

never paid in full. germany rejected calls for war compensation saying the issue has been settled. >> relations between russia and the west are being felt in one of the country's important ports. an embargo on imported seafood led to soaring fish prices. buyers and suppliers are struggling to adjust. >> a statue of a young woman watches the port's cold waters waiting for a fisherman to return. it is the largest city, murmansk. the ice-free harbour supports a large fishing history. an icy grip of sorts enveloped this trade. since the pictures were filmed two years ago the fish factory stopped operating. buying fish from norway is banned as part of an embargo on

western fresh food. that is all this place did. it was vulnerable. prosing plants were exposed. supply lines have been disrupted and the effect has been felt in shops and markets. >> it's more expensive every day, going up about 20% in price. rising prices mean people buy less. >> the suppliers called. we reject nearly all the fish. >> two of russia's fish types, herring and salmon, were imported in huge quantities. customers complain what they find in the shops is more expensive but the quality worse. >> years ago the restaurant farmed drought, a decision paying off as people replaced salmon with fish.

>> there's always an alternative. the time of crisis is a time of new possibilities much before, trying to figure out if trial breeding is possible. now we see that it works well. >> that's a small silver lining and the fish industry's representatives are worried that lasting damage would be done. >> these forcers of our meetings prove the sea doesn't change and we should work together. we will lose a common skill. russia's government hopes that farmed russian salmon will replace much of what was imported. that is years off, and herring is a bigger problem. there's no way to raise that. the sad ladies of m ushes rm ark nsk - it's a port buffeted by

the cold winds of geopolitics and wants things to get back to normal. there'll be a full bulletin in half an hour's time. in the meant, why don't you visit our website. the address is aljazeera.com. cl that's a rallying cry from ferguson, is that what happened to michael brown. >> there's nothing from credible witnesses or physical evidence that supports that. questions of fairness in prosecutor. >> there was a quantum leap made from the fact that my father was a police officer that killed in the line of duty 50 years ago. >> by a black man. >> yes.
