party. shooting an unarmed man in the back. this is al jazeera america live from new york city i'm tony harris. our top story. president obama says the u.s. lacks a complete strategy for accelerating the fight against i.s.i.l. important words there. he also admits training is not happening as fast as it should . the admission made after the president met with the iraqi prime minister near the end of the g7 summit in germany. mike viqueria is live from washington. mike let me take this on with you. it is certainly an admission by the president right? is it the same as saying the policy in place right now is failing or has failed? >> reporter: no, i don't think that's what the president was trying to say and it's important to provide some context into what the president was saying. he's not changing the

fundamental policy so this that sense he's not calling the policycalling thepolicy a failure. the power policy is to empower the iraqi forces from above to push back i.s.i.l. and that still remains the strategy. here's the problem tony. as the president described it wrapping up two days of egg meetings attalks inbe germany he says those iraqi forces that face them if they have been trained by u.s. advisors or trainers they fare fairly well on the battlefield. the problem in ramadi is those iraqi security forces did not have the benefit of american training. what is the answer? one of the upon answers and this is what people have been calling for from all ends of the political spectrum is more hands

to train iraqi fighters. that's what's been called for. that is the context of the president, which ended with a controversial phrase. let's listen. >> we don't yet have a complete strategy because it requires commitments on the part of the iraqis as well, about how recruitment takes place how that training takes place. and so the details of that are not yet worked out. >> so a complete strategy to further empower the iraqi security forces. that's what president obama is talking about there. but he makes no bones about the fact that it does need to be reevaluated, that a process is underway at the pentagon right now. obviously those comments are going to be seized on toirn. tony. he made similar comments when they were about to launch the be

bombings. >> i seized on those comments. ukraine security was also one of the major topics discussed. what did the g7 leaders decide there? >> and tony you're right. obviously this is an ongoing problem. it's now g7 not the g8 because effectively vladimir putin has been banished from the gathering in the wake of the annexation of crimea. more military mischief, military activity backed by others, in eastern ukraine that fighting picking up over the course of the last couple of days, in violation of what everybody thought was an agreement for a ceasefire at least a slow down of the combat there. president obama had one mission in going to bavaria meeting with the g7 is to keep the europeans and the allies in line, keep those sanctions in line, what he

credits with bringing the russian economy down as an incentive to drive vladimir putin's forces out of ukraine entirely obviously that hasn't happened yet. there is a sense that putin is waiting for an easing of sanctions. the president wanting to make sure everybody is on board singing from the same hymnal as it were. there is a threat in the communique they issued here of more sanctions if putin doesn't reverse course but nothing new announced at this point tony. >> gotcha. anything new from the g7 summit? >> there's a big climate change summit coming up in paris later this year, setting the stage for that. a lot of talk about greece and its still struggling economy. germany preaching a policy of austerity, the united states more pro-growth. as far as greece is concerned some deadlines coming up in terms of the restructuring and

the repayment of debts that they've already taken out and a lot of going back and forth some sharp words exchanged there no significant headway made on that front. >> mike viqueria live for us in washington. appreciate it. thank you. justices of the supreme court voteed 6-3 listing israel as their place of birth on their birth certificate. libby casey is live in washington. tell us more about this decision and who it impacts? >> reporter: tony it specifically impacts a boy whose american parents have dual citizenship. he was born in jerusalem. they wanted his american passport to read his birth place as israel. back if 2002 the bush

administration but prior presidents because since 1948 when israel was established the u.s. government's position has not to give one group or country sovereignty over jerusalem. instead trying to stay neutral until a mid east peace deal is ultimately reached. finally putting to an end the conflict between israel and the palestinians. so this has been a long standing policy. but the family wanted the passport to read israel and their timing was perfect. because right around the time that mehem was born, congress passed a law pushing back against the white house that said a person could have a passport that said israel. today the justices sided with presidential power. justice kennedy wrote the decision for the majority and he said basically the way the

government treats a passport and has an overall law should be one and the same. he says reiteration that voice must be the president's. well the chief justice john roberts and two other justice et cetera disagreed. roberts wrote: so you see this is not just about the big picture but also, about this classic debate over the power of congress versus the power of the presidency. tony. >> yeah, we see that over the tpp as well. all right, libby casey libby thank you. the supreme court has more than a dozen cases to issue opinions on for the rest of its term that includes decisions on the affordable care act that case would block federal subsidies in states that didn't set up their own exchanges whether same sex marriage has

rights under the federal institution and whether images of the confed rat flag can be banned. formally indicted over the shooting of an unarmed man. michael slager has been jailed since days after shooting a pedestrian. there was an abundance of evidence for grand jury to sort through. >> just because you have video in a case doesn't mean it's the about all end all and the case is over. you think of all the bank robberies and armed robberies we have video on all the time. but certainly as a prosecutor if we can have a case that depicts the crime and we aren't having to rely just on people's perceptions, the jury will be able to make up their own mind on the video and other testimony. >> it is likely slager will not

face the death penalty. a police officer has been suspended after a video emerges of him drawing a gun over a pool party for teenagers. be presspress conference, let's listen. >> that police officer was out of control. i give him credit for one thing. he took it there. he pulled the gun out on teenagers. >> but he didn't kill them. >> that's the one thing i give him credit for he didn't use it. one of the police officers said don't, i didn't hear it but i thought it was over at that point. thank goodness he did that one thing, this mckinney would be another ferguson. >> boy, the officer in question was also seen wrestling an unarmed teenage girl to the

ground. let's get the story from courtney kealy. >> the texas police officer shown using overly aggressive tactics on teenagers has been suspended. >> he was aggressive for no reason at all. it was horrible. >> at&tantatiana broke down. the fight started when a woman at the pool made racist comments and insulted her friends. >> the adult that was here at the event and said hey we don't want the kids, whatever, then let me handle it. and not go to them. >> but when police showed up kids got scared and started running. the scene appears chaotic but relatively calm. >> what's up? okay guys i appreciate.

>> then this police officer detains several young men. >> just came to a birth day party, please. >> the mckinney police arrived according to to a call about an nent. incident. an unidentified police officer orders this 14-year-old girl and others to leave. before wrestling her down to the ground. he pulls his gun out as two others come to her aid and pushes herpushes her into the ground reholsters his gun and restrains her with his body. the girl clearly unarmed wearing a two piece bathing suit was later released to her parents. >> i can assure you we will continue a full and complete investigation. >> the police chief wanted to

assure the community. one neighbor says he witnessed the fighting and made a call to 911 defended the officer. >> he did what he thought he had to do. >> he put up a sign of support for him and the police department on sunday. >> everything could have been solved entirely way better than it was.there were other officers that were actually nice. >> the mayor said he was disturbed and confused after seeing this video and the fallout continues. there is a march later this afternoon in mckinney outside an elementary school against police brutality. be are clowrpt, al jazeera. >> video here shows a an angry crowd outside met life stadium. you can see it here. they were confronted by people trying oclimb over fences and

for the first time since coming to power 13 years ago the ak party famed to gain a majority on their own. first time in over ten years that the ak party quested the parliament without their new leader recep tayyip erdogan. >> translator: the ak party is the win are and finished first in this election. there is no doubt about that. nobody should make a victory out of an election loss. everyone should reassess theirselves. >> one of the biggest criticisms of the ak party proouf that such accusations were baseless. meanwhile there were also scenes of disappointment at the main opposition chp. they fell way short of the 35% they had hoped for but party

leaders it seemed were taking solace in the ak party's lose. >> democracy has won turkey has won. >> and that's what everyone will be waiting to find out. whether some sort of coalition government will be formed and if so with who. will the akp opt to partner up with the chp or will it be the mhp, if a coalition government is not formed then turks could find themselves have to vote once again in parliamentary elections possibly before the end of the year. it seems that the current polarization could well result in a hung parliament and an uncertain future. even though these results have dealt a blow to the ak party dominance of the political party seen here in turkey, supporters

say they are fully back the party's leadership. however that leadership may have to rethink some of its policies and its approach if it's to regain control of the parliament and be able to govern once again on its own. jamal al shael. al jazeera. >> 23 new cases of mers have been identified in south korea. fears grow about the quick spread of the disease. as harry fawcett reports the government is trying new ways to keep the public safe. >> it's not a typical monday for this girl, following instructions from her sool to stay school to stay indoor. >> translator: as a nationwide problem i follow decision. a few days ago my daughter got afever and the school asked her to go home early and get tested
