>> announcer: this is al jazeera. hello there, welcome to the newshour i'm shiulie ghosh, in doha. good to have you with us. coming up over the next 60 minutes - it's a year since the capture of the iraqi city of mosul reports on what life is like under i.s.i.l. control. displaced by the war in yemen, we speak to some forced to live in desperate conditions. you u.s. case of a prisoner held in solitary confinement for more than 40 years. >> it starts here at 60,000

feet and google tests new ways to bring the internet to the world. critics say the company could become too powerful the u.s. is planning to establish a new military base in iraq's anbar province. it's the first major shift in the plan against i.s.i.l. president obama is considering sending hundreds of troops to iraq to train local forces. the city of ramadi the capital, was overrun by i.s.i.l. last month. iraqi forces are having to plan how to retake the city. mosul is another city that i.s.i.l. has under their control. it's been a year since they seized it. iraq's government. under nouri al-maliki at the time declared sa state of

emergency. mosul is the second largest city home to around 8 million people. hundreds thousands, fled after i.s.i.l. moved in. erbil was the destination for most of them fleeing. zeina khodr is on the outskirts of mosul. we have been hearing reports coming out of i.s.i.l. what is life like there, living under i.s.i.l. will as you know we do not have access to mosul. it's a few hundred kilometres behind me. it's the road to mosul and controlled by i.s.i.l. we have to remain on contacts inside and journalists on the city. life is difficult, 1.8 million people estimate they are cut off from the rest of the country. if they want to leave mosul,

they have to pay a sum of money they don't have or provide a guarantee. to prove that they are going to come home. life is difficult. people talk about the lack of jobs. people that have lost their livelihoods. i.s.i.l. controls every aspect of their life. they tell us that wherever they get the chance they preach their ideology to the people. it's hard to sigh how many people support i.s.i.l., or how much people want to live. clearly it's difficult, and according to some people there's - i.s.i.l. is breeding a new generation of supporters. there are no schools. i.s.i.l. runs the schools, promoting ideology. according to the journalists, as of late 1,000 children graduated from an i.s.i.l.

school. you are talking about an ideology which you hope will remain for years to come. presumably i.s.i.l. is preparing for iraqi forces. how difficult will it be for iraqi forces to retake i.s.i.l. >> it will be a very difficult fight. like i mentioned, the kurds surround mosul from three sides. i.s.i.l. opened supply lines. it can move to syria, ties strongholds and syria, and move south towards the we were province of anbar. so supply lines are uninterpreted. what we have seen obvious the past year in northern iraq is numerous military operations to cut the supply lines. the kurds managed to close a few roads in the north. like i mentioned, they still move freely. what we understand i.s.i.l. built like a trench around the city setting up concree

barriers as a line of defense. they hide among the population and they are forcing all males to grow their beards so no one knows who is who. it will be a battle and fighting is difficult. the difference is when is the government going to launch the battle for the city. if they take part they will play a supporting roll thank you for that. zeina khodr there. let's go to imran khan who is live in the iraqi capital baghdad. does the government have a plan to retake mosul, imran khan? >> the governor has several plans, but it's not going to be a plan enacted any time soon. because of the situation in anbar province the iraqi security force, shia militias and main forces are pinned down. they are mounting attacks to

take back ramadi and fallujah. i.s.i.l. is not being ignored, but it's not on the agenda. if there's a plan it's the type of thing that we have seen in the past where it will be iraqi security forces leading the charge with the kurdish peshmerga backing them up. however, there are going to be-coalition air strikes involved. this is controversial it's becoming a big problem for iraqis and the u.s. air strikes are only useful when you need to cut off open areas, supply lines and things like that. in urban wor fare ramadi -- warfare, ramadi they are less useful because civilians are there. the u.s. are wondering whether to send trainers to train iraqi troops why not imbed front line special forces calling in air strikes more accurately and

quickly. it changed conflicts in the past before and is something that the iraqis are thinking about, and certainly something that the americans are thinking about. there's an idea that the americans, particularly from the obama administration that they should not be part of the fighting forces. >> why isn't mosul as much a priority as ramadi. some say it's because they are sunnis. >> well there are sunnis in anbar as well. it's one of these things that come about because of the way that people live in mosul. mosul is not a target at the moment everybody is focused on anbar, predominantly because the i.s.i.l. fighters have two major border crossings from syria to anbar. they reinforce more quickly, it's closer to baghdad, and there's a fear that baghdad can come under attack. so that battle is currently raging.

the person in charge. shia militias said the battle will take a long time. for now, mosul is not ignored. there's a plan for it. it's not the priority. the priority is anbar prove skips. >> thank you for -- province. >> thank you for that. imran khan in baghdad. nine fighters from the lebanese armed group hezbollah have been killed following an attack by i.s.i.l. near the syrian border, hezbollah's media is reporting 14 i.s.i.l. gunmen died. fighting is continuing if the groups in syria the syrian observatory for human rights released grim figures after more than four years of conflict. $230,000 lost their lives in syria's war, 110,000 civilian deaths within recorded 11,000 children, 7,000 women.

41,000 rebels and army defectors have been killed in battle with 50,000 losing their lives fighting for the regime. a suicide bomber and two gun many attacked an ancient center. police killed one of the gunmen and arrested another. a police officer was wounded in yemen there has been saudi-led air strikes against houthi rebels. the latest hit sanaa. they targeted the homes of military commanders. many people fled the violence by scoping to other provinces. some are in worse conditions. around 2,500 families moved from the north and are appealing for help. james maloney reports.

caroline malone reports. this woman moved her family and handicapped husband hundreds of kilometres to the safety of this camp. she's one of thousands struggling to survive in war-torn yemen. >> i have two kids and a disabled husband. he has a medical problem with his hand and can't work. we are waiting for his public job to provide us with whatever we can use to support us. so far they've only given us enough for the tent, we are stuck in the rain and cold at night. nearby families have set up empty schools or government buildings, and they have four walls to protect them. many are crammed into a small space, and they rely on handouts. after we left our homes, we felt lost, we are not used to begging for a living. we live in peace, and are waiting for someone to help us. we need good people that can hep us get something to eat. we have no homes, no jobs. >> help is coming into yemen from organizations like doctors without boarders. they have flown in more than 100 tonnes of medical aid.

since the fighting between saudis and the houthi rebels. as the numbers of i.d.p.s increased, sanitation kits and mobile health clinics have been introduced by mfs. aid groups can only do so much. >> one, for the lack of fuel, people cannot move. they find security reasons because of air strikes, ground fighting, insecurity globally, and also access to health care. there is no - not much drugs coming in right now. >> the fighting in yemen cut people off from many of the basic things they need. for every parent relying on aid to get by, there are many other dependent on them for their own survival. in south korea the world health organisation has urged the government to reopen schools that have been closed over fears of the m.e.r.s. outbreak. so far nine people have died from the middle eastern

respiratory syndrome virus. hong kong taiwan and macau issued warnings advising people not to travel to see area. >> the president postponed a visit to the united states in light of the outbreak at the medical center the common cold is taken more seriously than ever. anyone with mild symptoms - a cough, a fever - is brought here for screening, kept away from patients in the main building. those suspected with m.e.r.s. are treated in isolation, anyone confirmed is quarnt eend. >> translation: as we share information the atmosphere will be more cooperating. this week will be a major watershed moment. >> inside the measures taken to protect staff and other patients are on display. >> there are eight patients with m.e.r.s. they have been brought here from

other hospitals with the december so the risk of infection is minimal. the government is saying that other patients have been presenting themselves and are concerned about the spread from hospital to hospital. >> the acting prime minister telling anyone who suspects they may have m.e.r.s. to stay put. everyone else should live life as normal. >> translation: please refrain from overreaction. do engage in regular activity such as travelling at weekends. the government will see life and help and curb the spread of m.e.r.s. >> half the confirmed cases from cop tracted in southern seoul. >> if it has been limited to a hospital outbreak. inside visiting experts were trying to establish why m.e.r.s. was spread. concern that the virus may have

got out into the population is causing companies to take precautions. even if others are not so assured. some people are sharing symptoms, meaning the virus dispersed. it's like prescribing medicine after the virus has gone there's an attempt to provide unified attempts. real reassurance will come if and when there's a sustained increase in the number of infections. >> in the united states a police officer who was filmed forcing a 14-year-old girl to the ground has resigned. his behaviour in the texas suburb of mckinney led to protests against the police and racism. eric case bolt was filmed pointing his gun at black teens. the town's police chief

described his actions as out of control. >> our citizens called us to a fight in progress and general disturbance at the community pool. we responded. i do not condone the actions that showed disrespect to the security person on scene, and the officers that responded. however, we as a department are held to a high standard of action as we do our jobs. a prisoner in the united states who has been in solitary confinement for 43 years had his release delayed. albert woodfox whose murder convictions has been overturned twice was supposed to walk free a few hours ago. a federal court ordered his release, saying it was not right to try him a third time, but

an louisiana attorney general convinced a supreme court says there is an appeal so to make sure he stayed in prison. jonathan martin has this update from new orleans. >> albert woodfox is 68 years old and convicted of killing a prison guard in the early '70s, in a louisiana prison known as angola. at the same time he was part of the black panther party formed inside of the prison. he and several others in the prison formed the black panther party to protest and be vocal about what they felt was inhumane conditions inside the prison. for that reason, he and many supporters believed he was kept in solitary because he was outspoken. he was convicted twice for murder. they were overturned. yesterday a federal judge decided that they should be released. that there was prejudice in his case, and he could not get a fair trial if they tried him again. and he just felt that it was time for the court to be done with the case and let him be free, but we do no again that the court of appeals came

back in louisiana and said that there should be a stay in the case, meaning while the state appeals the case, the attorney-general saying mr woodfox should remain in prison. they have two conflicting rulings, the federal judge saying he should be released immediately and the appeals court saying while they appeal this, he should remain in prison. o still to come we take you to afghanistan. >> i'm nicole johnson in bamiyan, and we'll take you on a roadtrip to find out what development there's about and we tell you why there's fears that the economy of south sudan is close to col ops. plus all the sport. cleveland's lebron james in record-breaking form against golden state in the n.b.a. final. all the action from game 3 coming up.

there are fears that south sudan's economy is close to collapse. in a second year of conflict and with falling oil prices foreign currency is scarce. making life difficult for a country that imports most of its products. catherine soi reports from juba. >> reporter: once a bottling factory, a company that has been hit. many rely on money companies to import. >> we have stocks that last for a week. we'll be forced to close operations. >> reporter: because of the fall in global oil prices and conflict in 2013 oil production is low. oil is the only exchange for the country. >> reporter: this is what makes

the plastic. it is blown up to bottle size. the grounds have to be imported. it's dollars. they can't access dollars from the bank. black market rates are too high. when we visited in march, it was running at a huge cost. now people have lost their jobs machines are quiet. >> half the people lost their jobs. we can't afford to do anything. >> reporter: one needs a letter of credit from the government to access credit. it's difficult to go by. the black market is thriving. >> the government must be concerned. they may depend so much on the borrowing. from the central bank. this one would be at a high cost. a huge inflation. >> many people said that south

sudan's economy is edging dangerously to the verge of collapse. the government denies there. this. >> south sudan is not on the verge of collapse. so anybody who says that is not right. we treat people as people who are enemies of the republic of south sudan. times are tough for almost everyone in the city. this woman's living costs more than doubled in the last few months. many believe if the conflict ends, things will get better. leaders are set to produce. she, like others are cautiously optimistic. >> afghanistan's province is recorded as a safe area in the country since the taliban was removed from power.

while security improved, is slow development. nicole johnson has more. >> there were no paved roads until three years ago. when this one was built. it connects dozens of poor villages. unfortunately, it ends here. >> 14 years ago the taliban destroyed the market. now it's peaceful. because the hazar ark s are muslims, and don't support the taliban. >> there's no work or business for shopkeepers. the government helped other provinces. in bamiyan they didn't do much. i don't know why. i'm here all day and can't feed my family. >> there are a few signs of progress in the district

capital. there's only enough electricity to turn on the lights for a couple of hours a night. if you can afford it. power costs 10 times more. than it does in kabul. there's no public transport either. this man walked three hours with his sick son to visit a medical clinic, and had to borrow money to buy medicine, and has to walk back. on the main road out of town we came across students walking to school because there's no bus. 13-year-old hadisa tells us that she walks 3 hours a day to school and home again. the principal says it's too much for children. >> some of our students are walking for two or three hours to get here, they are young children, they are tired by the time they arrive and fall asleep. >> in the classroom things are not much better. no desks, not even chairs. however, bamiyan has afghanistan's highest enrolment of girls at school.

from here, our journey takes us over rough mountain roads. travel is slow. but at the end you are rewarded with this. a string of six natural lakes. this national park is a symbol of how much potential they have. there has been some development, it's far behind most of the rest of afghanistan. what it needs is running water, paved roads and electricity. there is, however, one major advantage in bamiyan. that is security. a rare thing in afghanistan the arrival of smartphones in recent years led to a dramatic growth in the number of internet users, more than that, half the world, 4.2 billion people are still not connected. that's why large technology

companies like google and facebook are exploring new ways of bringing them online. our technology editor explains. >> more than 3.1 billion people are connected to the internet more are signing up at a rate of 450 every minute. it's 65,000 new people online each day. the trouble is 40% of people online live in three countries - china, the u.s. and india. contrast with the least connected country. and they are home to 1.65%. many lacked fibre and mobile internet. that's why google is testing the use of drones. google declined an interview,

but said the technology it's testing could be cleaner. >> it's a powerful force, and any move would give the company too much influence. we are about speech drones. what are they used for, are the underlying power dynamics changing or a small group of people exerting control. facebook's internet.org is looking at using drones to enhance internet access in remote areas. >> our plan is to make internet services affordable so everywhere with a phone can join the mobile technology. >> reporter: internet.org launched apps, saying it could be accessed by a million number of people, offering free access

to a limited number of services. no coincidence one is facebook, and internet.org determine which other services can be on the platform. >> they are doing it out of self-interest, not because they are charities, because they believe in ultimate ruism. they believe more impact them. google is doing it once the issues are controlled, it will scale up the network. the question is whether the people below will receive internet from the sky and accept terms and conditions. >> it's time for the weather. you have news of a tropical psych own. -- cyclone.

>> this was taken some time ago, threatening areas. how do we know four it will go or how much precipitation comes out? this picture from n.a.s.a. gives a clue showing us the core center. most producing rates of up to 60mm per hour. that was then this is now. it's moving in, it's picking up drier air and moving across. it may obtain hurricane statutes. gusting to about 140. as it moves in, it is a weakening feature. at least in terms of the window. there'll be big surf along the coast. people should bear that in mind. divers say it could be dangerous conditions. as it moves in it will weaken. the precipitation will be a significant factor. for parts of imam we could see in excess of 100km.

and it could result in flash flooding. the next couple of days could be nasty, brisk windows across the gulf. cloudy in places too. >> thank you for that. more to come. including 240 million. the global cost of treating diabetes reaching staggering heights. >> plus... i'm in the central philippines, we'll report on why the united nations once lauded the country for what it called strong humanitarian conditions in sport, ahead of the football copa america in chile, we look at the dark history of the stadium as it prepared to host the opening just because i'm away from my desk doesn't mean i'm not working.

comcast business understands that. their wifi isn't just fast near the router. it's fast in the break room. fast in the conference room. fast in tom's office. fast in other tom's office. fast in the foyer [pronounced foy-yer] or is it foyer [pronounced foy-yay]? fast in the hallway. i feel like i've been here before. switch now and get the fastest wifi everywhere. comcast business. built for business.

game. psh welcome back you're why al jazeera, i'm shiulie ghosh, let's remind you of the top stories. it's been a year since i.s.i.l. seized the iraqi did i of mosul, hundreds of thousands fled their homes, journalists have been reporting cases of people being tortured and brainwashed by i.s.i.l. >> an air strike hit the defense building in sanaa. homes have been targeted. more schools are being closed in south korea as the world health organization recommends the government reopens them following the m.e.r.s. outbreak. so far nine died from middle

eastern respiratory syndrome let's go back to the top stories, it's a year since the city of mosul came under control of i.s.i.l. a national security advisor joins us via skype from baghdad. good to have you on the braim. kurdish and iraqi forces were preparing for an assault to take back moselle by the end of may. clearly that never happened. why not. that was a premature assessment. there are several lessons we learnt from the downfall of mosul, and 11 months later, the fall of ramadi. there are hard lessons learnt. and one of them is we need to radically reconstruct iraqi security forces, and we need to

make the popular mobilization forces the centre piece, the spral core of the security forces. so we also have to rely and train and equip the sunni tribal fighters of this province so there are so many lessons, i think we have learnt hard lessons, that we learn the hard way. >> do you think the iraqi government is prepared to allow the sunnis to take weapons and retake the land. they say they want to and iraq government is not allowing them too. >> let me tell you, ma'am there are, at the present moment of time part of the popular mobilization forces there are 17,000 sunni tribal fighters from these provinces taking part in the mobilization forces.

several thousand of sunni fighters inside the iraqi security forces all over the federal area meanwhile the fight to retake ramadi continues. the u.s. is sending an extra 500 troops to iraq to help retake ramadi. do you think that will make a significant difference? >> well unfortunately over the last year the united states government was dithering about their involved. and for iraq fighting i.s.i.s. the more they get sleeping. the the iraqi.

the air strikes. unfortunately, they were given signs, indicators and each and every one in the congress or within the administration they were giving indicators so i think they have to come up with a very clear unified strategy in fighting i.s.i.s. >> good to get your thoughts there, thank you very much for speaking with us. live from baghdad there. >> thank you for having me now, 11 people have been sentenced to death by an egyptian court over riots at a football match in 2012. more than 70 were killed in port saeed.

>> reporter: they've been waiting for justice for over three years and are angry at the verdict. these are the relatives of some of the people killed in a football riot in 2012. some accused the judiciary of trying to cover up punishment of fans. many accuse the police of failing to stop egypt's first worst football violence. >> translation: we were told since his arrest the head of security has not spent an hour inside a cell. he's been staying at the academy's hospital for four years. he appears in an adidas shirt and nike shoes and enters the court in front of us. >> reporter: today the police have a few more months to go until their release. they were the ones that abandoned the stadium and didn't make a barrier. when we went to get the bodies, we saw the army was securing the area and dividing the poor side from cairo. they should have secured the kids. there's no judiciary, government, president, nor the previous, present or next. >> reporter: 70 fans were

killed, and thousands injured. a riot began during traditional rival clubs. most of the deaths and injuries happened in a stampede when thousands tried to leave. the verdicts are sparing those meant to protect them. >> in recent weeks, the judiciary has been criticized for handing down mass verdicts and accused of not following fair trial standards. on monday the human rights watch called the abdul fatah al-sisi year as a year of abuses. the government described the report as lacking. families say the trials have not been fair, they call for objectivity from the got almost certainly doesn't mean much the indian army has ducted fighting againrebel groups. the army launched a ground

offensive supported by the air force in response to the killing of soldiers by rebels in manny purr last week the philippines wants to share with other countries it's expertise on how to cope with refugees. the country was one of the first to offer assistance to the ethnic rohingya muslims fleeing myanmar. we have this report. >> reporter: father john returned to the central philippines after decades away. not that it's home, father john has been without a home since his family fled vietnam on a small boat in the midst of a war, 40 years ago. the philippines it was the first stop for asylum in the u.s. >> my thought is to do something for the filipinos, as a part of repayment - a form of repayment to their kindness. >> 400,000 people from vietnam,

and laos and cambodia came through between 1975 and 1996, fleeing war and regimes. it was a temporary settlement before permanent relocation elsewhere. not much remains of the first asylum centre, it closed in 1996. the refugees that were here then, some 1300, were moved to a smaller village, but the philippine tradition of offering refuge goes as far back as the 1930s or '40s, when it welcomed jews fleeing the nazis, spanish republicans fleeing a civil war, russians fleeing a socialist revolution and the chinese fleeing a invading japanese army. it's a poignant return for the doctor and her husband. now the danish ambassador to the philippines. they met here over 25 years ago. he was running the u.n. asylum center, and she was among hundreds rescued at sea, after fleeing vietnam. she has nightmares, and sees it

reflected in images of refugees at sea. >> people on the boat, you could see the hopelessness on the face. i thought "this is how we were when we were on the boats." sorry, it was terrible. the last refugee village still stands. a handful of people chose to stay. thousands more moved on. the near empty streets seen as a testament that hopelessness can be turned around. >> people have gone through a lot of hardship and it makes them stronger and it will give them a drive to succeed. most of them will be successful and contribute to societies. >> like the doctor, father john says being a refugee made him stronger, better able to do what he does. they have come a long way from the asylum centers. proof, they say, that refugees shouldn't be treated as burdens.

greek pharmacists are going on strike on wednesday following government plans to allow the sale of nonprescription medicines in supermarkets. pharmacists say they can barely make ends meet. >> reporter: this person is battling a rare form of leukaemia. she holds down a job teaching economics, and goes swimming every day. despite her misfortune, she considers herself lucky. >> i take a drug that costs 2,500 euro a month. the medicine i was on before was 4,000 a month. it's covered by my insurance. i can't afford it on my own. >> reporter: she has helped other uninsured cancer patients through a group, by donating some pills. the government is trying to

provide for everyone, but charity and solidarity is an important role. state health care is struggling. this is the head of the staff union at the mosque, one of the busiest hospitals in greece. >> this hospital has a budget for medicine and consumables. 72 million euros. that's half of what it was two years ago. we have received 4.8 million of that, the hospital pharmacy needing 2.7 million. unless we have money now, we won't have medicine in september. >> reporter: that could leave half a million outpatients without care. austerity reduced public spending on medicine from $5.5 billion to $2.5 billion, much of the difference rolling to patients, whose co-payments tripled. some of the differnece have been absorbed by drug makers and sellers, forced to accept lower retail prices. pharmacists say the government has not reimbursed them for

prescription medicines given to insured patients. one in six are in danger of going bankrupt. including this person. >> reporter: we have reached the point where medicine gives us a profit margin of 1%. when a patient has a prescription i have to pay the wholesaler in a month, i get paid in four months. is that called trade. >> reporter: those wholesalers say they supply the greek market at cost, and the only profit comes from re-exporting reimported medicine. it may start to dry up in greece, because a third of greeks are uninsured, and the biggest insurer, the state, can't pay in a timely fashion. this person hopes her cancer will go into remission. until it does, her insurance and endurance are the only things keeping her alive.

more than 8% of adults worldwide are suffering from diabetes. in the u.s. alone, more than 240 billion have spent every year to treat the condition. despite that though many patients are forced to have their limbs amputated because diabetic wounds won't heal. a treatment in cuba is giving hope. lucia newman reports. at a diabetes clinic in havana, people have one thing in common besides their disease. the fear of amputation, the trauma that person has experienced. >> 15-20 days ago i had my foot. when i looked, my toe was rotting. i rushed to see if the doctors could save my leg.

i lost one. >> until eight years ago. his chances would not have been good. now, what is hailed as a remarkable treatment, is reducing amputations by more than 70% according to cuba's health ministry. it is produced and patented by the biotechnology industry. the novelty of the treatment consists of injecting growth factor, a molecule present in the body, directly into the diabetic food ulcer, the most common. >> diabetes is the silent epidemic of our century. not surprisingly cuba's treatment is used not just here, but 15 other countries from argentina to russia and qatar to reduce amputations. >> this man says here in cuba, they did not have to pay a crept for treatment, which he said saved not just his leg, but his life. >> i ended up with my toe bare to the bone, with no flash. after a long course of antibiotics they began to apply

the ever prop p. a few months later i was like new. >> cuba has patented the ever prod p treatment until 2012 and is leasing to private companies, services and health ministries, which spend billions on amputations. >> a diabetic lesion turns into a sore that is pink and then gangrene sets in. it spreads quickly. if there is no surgical procedure within 72 hours, the person can die. >> if the cuban treatment sparked so much interest worldwide it's probably because diabetes, like illness, is a disease that makes no distinction between race, region or wealth. system to come on the newshour 77 years after denied
