year. isil's leadership in iraq is believed to be based there. advances in the north kurdish forces backed by u.s. led airstrikes have prevented isil from taking more area there. ation as i will retreating from ticket sporadic fighting continues. >> barack obama has admitted to the u.s. has no complete strategy for helping iraq deal with isil. he made that comment after meeting the iraq prime minister. >> when a finalized plan is presented to me by the pentagon, i will share it with the american people. we don't yet have a complete strategy because it requires commitments on the part of iraqis, as well. >> so, no clear u.s. plan, and

iraq remains mired in divisions. zeina hodor sent us this report. >> she grieves for her husband and eldest son. it's been a year since they were killed by the islamic state of iraq and the levant in mosul. she is among the millions who have been displaced over the years. she says she is tired. like others here, she has been displaced from mosul and many feel the government is not serious about recapturing their city from isil. >> there is a conspiracy against mosul and against the sunnis. the baghdad government is not helping us get back our city. they won't give us arms to fight. >> ires say they are unfairly treated, looked upon by

supporters of isil not just by the government, but by kurds in the north. >> this is the capitol of the kurdish region. sunni arabs require a local guarantor to enter. they face the same restrictions when entering baghdad. authorities here and in the iraqi capital argue that these measures are justified for security reasons but the people feel that they are being singled out as a community. >> there are many front lines in iraq. the divide is not only sectarian. in northern iraq, it is ethnic. arabs on one side, kurds on the other. kurdish forces share a 1,000-kilometer front line with the islamic state of iraq and the levant. this man was once the speaker of the kurdish parliament. he said iraq no longer exists and should formally be divided into as soon as possible, shia and kurdish states. he believes this new border should become permanent.

speaking to him we hear evidence of the mistrust. >> they are between them. majority of them are isis fighters. iraq has been at war with itself for many years. now there is a de facto partition on the ground that separates communities and one that threat thats this countries unity. al jazeera northern iraq. >> director of the center joins us. it's been a year since isil took over mosul. it continued its spread and strength. why does the u.s. and obama adding still not have a strategy

to deal with it. >> because the u.s. is really entering this war against isis hair hardly and they know very well that the only way to eradicate isis properly is to engage in a strategy that will involve syria, as well as iraq, but because the u.s. does not really want to be involved in syria, it is limiting its action to guess just these airstrikes in iraqi that may be stopping the spread of isis in certain areas, but certainly not eradicating the group as such criticizing the iraqis on the basis of needing more training and more technical support is overlooking the bigger picture which is that these fighters

from the iraqi army are not fighting because they don't feel that they belong to an iraqi state. when sunni's in the army in particular feel this is an army that used to be the army supporting the shia prime ministerial mag key and a government that doesn't represent them, they are not going to fight when a group like isis advances, and likewise, a lot of sunni's unfortunately are seeing an isis a sense of vindication against the grievance, the injustice of the iraqi government. >> so the iraqi army keeps talking about arming and supporting sunni strikes bringing them on to their side of the fight. we are not seeing that happening. what's blocking it? >> >> it takes a long time to regain the trust of a community that has had very deep, long-term grievances, such as the sunni community in iraq. the practices they are seeing on the ground that are both direct

and indirect result of the u.s. strategy and its implementation in iraq right now are actually making them lose trust in the government rather than gain more trust. that's why the tribes are not yet onboard. it will take a very huge effort on the part of the u.s., as well as the iraqi government to win their trust again. >> great to get your views from london thanks very much for joining us. >> the u.n. recognized government in libya has rejected a proposal to form a unity government. it's been trying to reach a deem with its rival that's the self declared government in tripoli. we have the details. >> libya's rival factions are under mounting pressure to reach a political deal. the united nations envoy has offered a draft agreement to end the violence in the country. the framework deal calls for a national unity government based in tripoli but it always raises

the house of representatives based in tobruk as the legitimate legislative body. the deal creates a council of states to serve at libya's highest body with the power to resolve disputes. it creates a national army. calls for the disarming of militias implementation of a ceasefire, and the drafting of a constitution. >> the hope is that you save your country and people from protracted conflict. >> but the factions remain skeptical. each has its own government, parliament and army. the tripoli based government controls more territory. it's the government in tobruk that has the backing of the united nations.

>> he is not waiting for the answer now but after each of the principle stake holders has had time for consultations. >> we will do our best to bring the country out of the crisis, and that's why we will study today and tomorrow this draft. we hope that this draft will be the last one. >> this is the man at the center of libya's political divide. general for tripoli a deal will only happen if general haftar is sacked by the tobruk government. most of the army units based in the east of loyal to haftar. they say any move against their leader will be met by force. al jazeera. >> in syria rebels have taken

>> the united nations has left israel and hamas off of a report on countries and armed groups that vital children's rights in conflict. more than 500 palestinian children were killed in israel's bombardment of gaza last year. james bays has more. the evidence is overwhelming the deaths of children in gaza were reported on video. 540 children were killed. u.n. general secretary ban ki-moon in his annual report on children in armed conflict in his report does not include israel on the list of countries and groups that kill children. israel and armed that palestinian groups were in the original draft drown up by the u.n. special report. >> the draft report had israeli and palestinian armed groups on it. >> yes.

>> when i have the came back downstairs, it didn't have them on anymore. is that true? >> yes, but this means that the decision of the secretary general, we are supposed to prepare the decision of the secretary general. we are not the ones who decide. >> there was high level lobbying by israel and the u.s. to persuade ban ki-moon to keep israel off the list. >> there's no other explanation than it was a political decision. >> did ban ki-moon bow to political pressure? >> member states have never been shy in expressing their opinion to the secretary general, but what should be in or out of the report, whether this report this year or in previous years, ultimately, it's the secretary general's report. he stands by it. >> you just need to read this full report to see the obvious

contradictions. the report says the number of palestinian school children killed in 2014 be was the third highest anywhere in the world. it says the number of schools damaged or destroyed was the highest anywhere in 2014. then you look at the annex, the list that's supposed to summarize it all, listing among other things, parties and states that kill or maim children or engage in attacks on schools and israel's name is not there. james bays, al jazeera, at the united nations. >> we have more now from west jerusalem. >> it's very unlikely that israel will make an official statement with regard to not being included on that list that the u.n. secretary general releases every year. israel is very sensitive when it is included in such terms and it's clear that the lobbying that was going on between israel and the united states was successful so the government is no doubt very pleased in saying

that child rights campaigners were in the occupied territories are very upset at this news. they say you only have to look at the statistics to show israel in their view is a repeated violator of children's rights and safety. they say if you look at statistics in gaza, more than 500 children were killed, hundreds more injured they say that alone would warrant israel being put on that list, but again, as we've been saying, it would appear the lobbying by israel and the united states on. who moon was successful. >> an egyptian court sentenced 11 people to death over a ayotte at a football match. seventy fans were killed and hundreds injured when people tried to escape the stadium in 2012. many were crushed to death and victims thrown from terraces. the incident was the deadliest

the middle east. the south korean epidemic should be under control at the moment. we'll still see more case from people already infected now in cubbateing the disease and will go to hospital in a week or two. many can travel and take those infections back to their countries. it only takes one case to a country not prepared to start quite a large outbreak. south korea is already fairly well developed and has fairly good basic infection control in their hospitals. we can imagine worse scenarios in other cases in asia or other parts of the world. >> burundi's opposition rejected

the electoral commission's suggestion to delay a presidential election next month. they'll protest until the penalty gives up his bid for a third term. the government accuses the media of inciting unrest but journalists are refusing to stay silent. we have this report. >> some of these journalists have been accused by the burundi government of sympathizing with the failed coup. they say the radio and t.v. stations were destroyed by police officers. they're working on line from another location. >> it means being in danger. it means be hated by the government by the policeman be hated by those who are supposed to protect you and to let you do your job. it means being at the risk every day to be killed at any time. >> the station of course closed to the shooting between rival armies during the attempted coup in may.
