recapture this territory. he did receive a phone call from the u.s. vice president joe biden. america is promising to send more weapons but they believe that i.s.i.l. is still on the offensive and that the iraqi government will be able to recapture this terrain. but at the end of the day, this is the biggest question, what can the rake government do? they still haven't disagreed on who will rule over the tensions in anbar they want to wage this battle alone but politicians in baghdad they are reluctant to do that. they believe that the sunni

tribes are sympathetic with i.s.i.l. while we still don't know who is going to wage this war residents have been fleeing ramadi and there is fear that, there will be punishment. how to recapture ramadi, in fact rye capture the whole problems where i.s.i.l. really has the upper ground. >> moving deeper into anbar province 25 people died when the group rigged the main gates of the post. i.s.i.l.'s been in control of most of auburn province since last year. in syria government shelling has reportedly killed at least 20 people. an area controlled by i.s.i.l.

the indonesian navy will give humanitarian assistance at sea but not accept them here. it is hard to imagine the ordeal these people went to traveling by boat where they were facing fighting, they were facing hunger they were facing thirst and now they are facing a very uncertain future in indonesia. >> the united states has asked indonesia to house 6,000 displaced rohingya, being forced back out in the ocean with barely any food or water. veronica pedrosa joins us. >> they are in a very dangerous condition. this is a situation that has

been accumulatingment months. it became clear by the people who research this sort of migration, they monitor this every year, and we knew that thousands of people were out at sea. there were warnings to everybody involved that there were offshore camps as they were called at the time, now as we've seen from the pictures, the reality of what that actually means is, thousands of people overcrowded on dangerously rickety boats many of them women and children. i understand that a third are children. one in seven is a woman. and they have diseases like beriberi and diarrhea, they tend on people that we saw approaching the thai waters that the royal thai navy helped by

drpingdropping food packets, they said that 10 people died on that boat alone. 100 people died on another goat, boat, no one knows how many boats are out there. we will end up with boat loads of dead people if people don't somehow help. >> the united states has been in touch with the thai government to ask them to do more. do you have more on that? >> well, irrespective of whether the u.s. secretary of state had caulked the thai government here, the united states is looking at this in very serious areas, the critical element of moving people around has meant

that there is nowhere for the people to land. the thai prime minister called for an urgent meeting on the 29th of may. it is not clear whether myanmar the source of where many of the refugees are coming from they say they may not come to that meeting. the prime minister has also ordered the assessment of a couple of islands for building of temporary camps for people. but there are already 120,000 rohingya refugees in the country. even millions more burmese. and this is something that the region want to address i think on a region-wide basis rather than having any one stick their neck out as it were and end up with all the responsibility. they want to point out that this is a collective problem. >> okay, veronica, thank you

being happy not the feeling i'm satisfied, grateful they came to that conclusion because for me i think it was the just conclusion. but there's nothing happy about any single bit of this situation. >> he's going to go to hell, that's where he wanted to go, but he's going to get there quicker than he thought. >> tsarnaev's family tamerlan died trying to escape. they argued for life without parole but the jury found his crimes heinous cruel and depraved. although the decisions will be appealed, in massachusetts no one has been executed in 70 years. >> we know there are going to be appeals, about the death

qualified mayor of the jury, the majority of bostonnians are against death penalty. was this a jury that wasn't capable of reflecting the conscience of the community? >> not when the punishment is debt all 12 jurors must be unanimously in theirunanimous in thaifer decision. their decision. kristin saloomey, l al al jazeera new york.

stance on baifnlg's beijing's building of islands in disputed waters, in the south china sea. adrian taken a tough stance on this in the past. what is kerry's message in beijing? >> well, essentially as you riotly point out the u.s. government has been alarmed by the dramatic expansion of these artificial islands that china has been occupying in the disputed south china sea. recent aerial photographs show reclamation as well as dredging work going on around these islands and in one instance we have seen even the construction of what appears to be a runway. washington is worried because they feel these islands could have a military use china could put missile systems on these islands.

that they say could pose a threat to freedom of navigation in the south china sea. and remember, south china sea contains some of the world's bissest shipping lanes. but almost all of the south china sea is now claimed by china. in recent days the obama administration has indicated that the u.s. might be prepared to send u.s. war planes and ships to this area to challenge beijing's claim and today mr. kerry basically had a message to china and it was this: show restraint. >> i urged china through foreign minister wong, to join in helping reduce tensions, and increase the prospect of a diplomatic solution. and i think we agree that the region needs smart diplomacy in order to conclude the asean

china code of conduct and not outpoachts and militaryoutposts and military strips. >> adrian the fact that united states is disputing this construction how is china reacting to that? >> china is saying it is defend its sovereignty. it's accusing washington of knee jerk diplomacy and ignoring the philippines and japan's building up but the building is not as blatant and china's. i think both are testing each other's reserve in this area.
