didn't. >> reporter: so the senate is looking to pass new legislation already pushed through the house of representatives. known as the such usa freedom act it would bring back the surveillance tools with only minor modifications instead government collecting the time, length and phone anybody of calls, private phone companies would do the work and if government wants access to that information, a court order would be required. >> anything that allows mass surveillance to continue which the usa freedom act duds, albeit in a more limited form than is taking place now i think it's something that should be very concern to go all of us. >> reporter: the phone companies al jazerra reached out to were reluctant to comment on their role. just sprints resupplied stating.

[ inaudible ] joining us here from doha the director of research at the brookings doha center. thanks for being with us on al jazerra. so just ahead that have meeting in us, the iraqi prime minister said that iraq, quote needs all the support of the world to counter isil's advance but we are not getting much and he says this is a failure on the part of the world. there is a lot of talk about support for iraq, but there is actually very little on the ground. does he have a point? >> reporter: well, in a sense, yes, he has he has a point. but i don't think it's about sharing the blame between iraq and the international community. i think all parties in paris now they have the opportunity to sit, review the actions over the

last year and i hope that they reach the conclusion that whatever they have been doing individually and collectively has not been effective. the length of the engagement is not in the interest of international community iraqis are neighboring country to his iraq. time is very much on the side of isil. and i hope that they come up with a renewed strategy to try to bring this to an end much sooner. >> what would that strategy look like? >> reporter: well, to start with, i think they may have to be some direct engagement of troops going in to areas where -- with population concentrations, we must maybe declare some cities as protected cities and try and push isis out of those couple of cities in the northern iraq and possibly in eastern syria. there should be much more concentrated effort on trying to

contain the influence of isis. so that it duds not spill over in to neighboring countries such as jordan and that would require major intervention in terms of development opportunities, the so-called liberated areas in syria, some of the areas lick rated in iraq require desperate effort in terms of municipal support, governance, development opportunities and job creation and so on. all should be mechanisms -- talk. >> you can to materialize in the short-term at least when the focus just cements to be on a military quote unquote solution at this point. and even al badi before the meeting in paris is asking the international community to help iraq purchase weapons to fight isil. can it the be you want fat way he wants to militarily and is it a good idea to flood the country

with more weapons? >> reporter: focus military action is very attractive. but we have tried it for a year and it has not worked and it will not work. al badi will want to push that agenda but i think it's the wrong ajinca to focus exclusively. now we enter in to discussion around who is to blame and i am sure al badi and others recognize the ways he's conducted the war and supported by the shia militias and what happened last week in announcing the campaign and all of this does not hem. we have to be very careful that this does not become a protracted sectarian conflict. with no clear end in sight. >> okay, sultan, thank you very much for joining us from doha. we a poll squeeze for that, but we ended just in time. well manila is poised to be the new top gambling destination in asia. the city wants to be counted

meaningful contribution to the efforts of the philippines to elevate the tourism industry as one of the main engines of economic growth. but also as you pointed out the employment. for permanent jobs. >> reporter: there are five resorts planned all in all. and the government estimates that 30 to 40,000 people will be directly employed by them. officials are also counting on inter direct employment as a result of the casinos. security guards, maintenance people, taxi drivers vendors being the expectation is that around 100,000 jobs will be created around the gaming industry. richard has been ferrying ferrying passengers along the streets for seven years this, pedestrian peddy a cap is all he has he and his family of six take turns sleeping in it. he was looking forward to the new neighborhood but he's nod not allowed to get closed to it. >> translator: business is

the republican party doesn't believe climate change is caused by human activity but other republicans say it's time to move past that. >> i think it's a bad policy because it makes government look foolish, denying what is obvious. and failing to use the leadership that they have to address what is going to be a major issue in our state. >> reporter: whether you think this kind of severe beach erosion or even physical damage is down to man-made climate change is not it's pretty irrelevant to people living in this community florida remains on the front lines of rising sea levels and opinion many just want to see some kind of plan of action andy gallagher st. augustine, florida. the u.s. supreme court has ruled in favor of a muslim woman who was denied a job because of her head scarf. samantha wore a head scarf for an interview with the clothing
