l look at the american dream. only on al jazeera america. >> part of our month long look at working in america. "hard earned". isil forces say they're in control of forces after government forces hold back from the iraqi city. you're watching al jazeera live from doha. also coming up the u.s. secretary of state calls for north korea to reign in its nuclear program a few days after firing a ballistic missile. supporters of macedonia's prime minister promise to show strength after protesters dig in and demand his resignation.

plus i'll report on how this nigerian market is seeing business in unwanted goods from europe and america. hello.- the islamic state of iraq is claiming a major victory in iraq's largest province. it's taken full control of the city where iraqi forces have been filmed fleeing. it's the capital of iraq's largest province. its capture now means isil is closer to establishing supply lines from syria to iraq. it's just 110 kilometers west of iraq's capital baghdad.

isil dominates large swaths of land in iraq and syria including mosul in northern iraq and this city in syria. crossing over to baghdad bringing in our reporter to bring you when we're hearing on the latest about what the iraqi government is going to do about this. >>reporter: well, it's under the control of isil. they launched a three will have day offensive -- three-day offensive first taking over the compound which houses government and police officers and then they moved on to take the last government stronghold the headquarters of the anbar commands center. there was a lot of fighting. we understand that up to 500 people were killed. security forces and civilians. some died in the fighting and others were executed. isil usually executes people who

were cooperating with the government. yesterday the provincial council asked for the involvement of shia lead militias. the prime minister of iraq authorized their deployment and they're now gathering and preparing for a counteroffensive against isil. this is a very controversial decision and will not be welcomed by many sunni tribal leaders. they said they will consider this an occupation of iran by their province. they are blaming the government for the fall of isil saying they should have given us weapons and mobiized local forces to engage in this battle instead of deploying and using shia militias in this fight. >> that's the thing. there were promises that were made to arm the sunni tribes in places like an bar. why did that not happen? >>reporter: well officials in

baghdad politicians, government officials they have been reluctant to arm sunni tribes. they feel the sunni tribes the weapons they give them could end up in the hands of isil. there's little trust between the shia-led government province in baghdad. this is not just a military battle. the u.s. secretary of state actually down played the significance of isil's gains saying he's confident iraq will be able to capture the territory. the biggest question is what happens next. the shia led militias led the fighting in other militias and pushed isil out but people have not returned. it's not a peaceful province. there's been attacks against secrity forces so it's not just about clearing territory, recapturing territory. there needs to be reconciliation with the people and the people need to feel that they are part

of iraq. that they have a say in the decision-making process. so a military battle alone, a victory could backfire without reconciliation. >> okay. thank you. the u.s. secretary of state says north korea has not even come close to taking steps to slow its nuclear weapons program. john kerry was speaking in the capital of south korea where he met the president. his trip comes days after north korea said it test fired a ballistic missile from a submarine. here's more from the capital of seoul. >>reporter: he talked about two events in in order to korea as he referred to how north korea was acting.

he said the missile was in violation of international regulations. he gave a strong signal that the united states would support efforts to see north korea referred to the icc unless it changed such behavior but also held out hope saying that iran provided a model, recent success in in negotiations with iran over its nuclear program. in january, there were attempts to start talks with north korea but they were unsuccessful. mr. kerry is now talking about the leadership sending a signal

approaches. those will continue. there's sharing information about ships at sea and where they are. even more than that if there are regional powers that have ships in the navy even global powers they can also play a part. the smuggling network was moving 8,000 people a month on average in the past six months. one month there were 13,000. we need to help them. no longer are ships departing meaning we need to focus everything to save lives right now. there's nothing else that we can do. the king of jordon has accepted the resignation of his interior minister and dismissed several police officials. the demonstration was in the southern city of maan. dismissals have also been linked to the torture and death of a detainee in police custody

much of the country. >> all parties have been brought together. it's a very strong message today to our people in yemen that we're all united against the houthis. >>reporter: the president hadi warns of widespread violence unless the international community intervenes. >> they seized oil to use it as a tool to humiliate our people. history will remember the heroic actions of our people and our allies. >>reporter: members of the general congress the party of former president saleh were also in rihyaad. >> the switch of sides is a blow to the former president who has been abandoned by his previous

supporter saudi arabia. the u.n. envoy has called for a cease fire extension. >> we have a chance. we are merely calling for all parties to extend. >>reporter: the delegates have agreed on a political road map recognizing saleh hadi as a legitimate president. but the houthis say any agreement in their absence is irrelevant as they're the ones with more control on the ground. still to come the verdict is due in a case that triggers rioting across france almost a decade ago. plus the great drought of the western united states is spreading and scientists predict worse is still to come.

therefore, they could not take the deliberate decision not to go to their rescue. >>reporter: meanwhile, some things have changed. these tower blocks are to be demolished and replaced by buildings on a more human scale.- the government hopes this case will be closure to one of the most tragic incidents in france's recent history. unemployment is still high as well as suspicion of the police. >> nine people were killed and 18 others wounded in a shootout between rival biker games in texas. fighting broke out in a restaurant in the city of waco and spilled over into a nearby parking lot. police say what started as a few punches ended up in both sides shooting at each other. three individuals have been arrest. > they're now facing engaging in organized crime.
