forces on their land and would have preferred arms so they can wage this battle alone. officials in baghdad are insisting that these fighters who are backed by iran are no longer militias and operate under the government. they are trying to calm sunni fears. even the u.s. has been reluctant but now backs the government decision. >> some say the paramilitary troops are stronger than the state but for the time being they are the only force capable of fighting isil despite months of u.s. training, regular forces are still weak and weren't able to hold ground in the face of isil's offensive in anbar. >> the u.s., which leads the coalition against isil is stepping up airstrikes and has promised to help the iraqi government recapture lost ground. isil is still on the offensive. people in the contested town are on the move. the armed group targeted security forces in the town east

>> we have no refinery in the upper area. the only refinery that we had was the military say was interrupted before it could be opened, so their claim that they have captured the refinery is not correct. it is not in place, because they have no refinery over there. they believe that it is only the saboteur who is the problem and they demand that must go. this is why they rebel. they come up with their open objective. can they achieve that? for me, i don't believe that they are capable of doing anything. they are incompetent and they will not make it. they will have to accept what the government says. >> unicef said armed groups in south sudan have been killing and raping children as young as seven. we report on the increased risks for many children there.

refused to do, despite calls from regulators in the national traffic high way safety administration. >> it is not hard for you to answer yes or no. >> the japanese manufacturer said it will now replace the driver side and passenger side airbags in the cars that are impacted. the u.s. regulators admit they still don't know what's gone wrong with the airbags and haven't studied replacement kits into cannot guarantee the exact same thing won't happen again. >> we know that the ones that are going in or safer. the concern is are they safe over the long term. that has yet to be determined. >> safety analyst clarence ditlo is not convinced that's true. >> they are using different chemicals which is supposed to

stabilize it. people shouldn't be guinea pigs to see if it works. we need assurance that it's a safe propellant today. if that means going to different suppliers, that's what the government should require. >> another problem it's believed takata can only produce a half mill each month. it is going to take years before millions of drivers won't have to worry about the same fatal as berdych, realizing the equipment that was supposed to keep him safe stole his sight. al jazeera washington. >> shoppers in the u.s. may soon find it harder to discover where their red meat comes from. the world trade organization ruled that country of origin labels make it more difficult for mexican and canadian farmers to sell their cattle across the border. u.s. politicians are talking about changing the law to avoid trade retaliation by their neighbors. al jazeera's alan fisher explains. >> more and more consumers want

to know where their food comes from. washington's famous eastern market is popular. most on sale here is sourced locally. >> it's really not from mexico or canada. >> i'd rather have u.s. you. >> i have to be comfortable and confident with the area it's coming from so i know if i you have confidence that it is what it says it is. >> i choose a place to go, rather than inspect each label. i don't have time. >> i don't check the labels, because i know the labels don't mean anything. >> the world trade organization may have made that a little bit harder. >> the u.s. wanted consumers to know exactly where their meat was coming from. when beef arrived, it was separated from mexico, canada and united states. that was difficult and expensive, and it meant that canada and mix co imports went down. the w.t.o. said that was unfair and it had to change. last year, the u.s. imported 2 million cattle from canada and

mexico and 5 million pigs from canada. the meat trade lobbied hard against the labeling said it added cost and wasn't top of consumers priorities and also got in the way of free trade. >> it's hard for us as a nation to on the one hand promote free trade an the other hand do restrictive things that obviously after four decisions at w.t.o. are not compliant with our trade obligations. >> the case has dragged on several years. the u.s. introduced country of origin labeling in 2009, giving mexico and canada the option to take retaliatory action by imposedding higher tariffs on american goods. the u.s. congress is debating changing the law and labels. consumer advocates say adjustment law is being ignored. >> it has been voted different times in farm bills. it always survives because it's a good rule, gives good information and it only -- the

industry only got to attack this when they went to the w.t.o., a place where we don't get to vote for those folks, they are unelected, unaccountable. >> the industry that changed in recent years saying customers are after the same thing. >> they want to know they are getting the best they can get. >> only the most careful consumers will notice the change. canada and mexico said it will work on a solution and all three plan to meet over meat soon. al jazeera washington. >> officials in azerbaijan say 16 people have been killed by a fire in the capitol. 16 story apartment building was engulfed. a criminal investigation has been launched. >> police in london arrested nine men including three pensioners in connection with a jewelry heist in the city's famous diamond district. police say they recovered a significant amount of high value property during raised in london and in kent, southeast of the capitol. gang members drilled through concrete walls two meters thick

once that factor was removed, we started to see recovery of the population. >> the population numbers of these animals like the mother and calf behind me here suggests they are doing well. the trouble is when they come up off of the endangered species act they are going to have less protection than now. already, these animals swim through the crab traps here. >> this is a humpback caught in a commercial fishing net, the single biggest killer of wails dolphins and porpoises in all the world. they will still be protected by the marine mammal protection in the u.s., but whale conservationists like colleen worry it won't be enough. >> while it will offer protection against any current and future projects such as oil and gas exploration or seismic drilling under the marine mammal protection act if they weren't

endangered, they can apply for permits to harm or harass a certain number of humpback whales. >> in alaska, the state's largest industries, oil and commercial fishing say they have to tread lightly around the growing number of humpbacks. state officials have petitioned to delist the humpback, which would ease those restrictions. >> it's supposed to be a strictly biological opinion or biological analysis, not really considering the economics, but there are economic concerns that bring the humpback population into focus. >> the endangered species act has by all accounts saved humpback whales. now we'll see whether it's done enough to let them survive on their own. jacob ward, al jazeera monterey, california. >> the man booker prize has been
