us. the news continues next. >> iraq fights against isil. more troops will be deprovide to anbar to train security personnel. >> hello there. this is felicity barr. we're live from london. also coming up. >> isil gains ground in libya. the u.n. envoy said that the two rival governments must come to an agreement and soon. south korea tries to contain an outbreak of mers that has killed nine people.

and only connect how the big internet firm is trying to reach the 4 billion people not yet online. hello, the u.s. has announced it will send more troops to iraq to help train government forces in their fight against the islamic state of the iraq and levant. 450 soldiers will be deployed to boost the 3,000 advisers and trainers already working there. the focus is the fight against the group in anbar province. they took control of ramadi last month, now there are plans for a new u.s. military base there. it will see more support for tribal fighters. let's bring in more.

what do you make of the plans? >> well, i tell you so far it's been sort of a plan of trinities, the original plan was to degrade defeat and destroy isis. now we're moving to the assist, equip, advise, the forces that will do it. and that has been a failure failure, and more failure. so what is new besides what we've heard over the past two year or two? what is america willing to do besides sending advisers to train iraqi soldiers or sunnies in the san bar province? we've seen that play out over the last year or two. some people say over the last ten years. it did not bring the necessary results because of a number of

reasons. some of them are failures on the part of the united states. on the other, failures on the part of the iraqi government. basically there is no political process under way in order to bring the sunnies into the fold with baghdad to create reconciliation. that's why all we can talk about is more training, and more arming but alas, isil is still expanding a year after it took over mosul. >> it's going to be interesting to see, march marwan how much pressure they're willing to put on baghdad when it comes to the trainers. for example who is going to recruit them? who is going to decide who is going to be trained? it will be interesting to see who has the lead role there can. >> and you know, it is confusing, over all on the one hand there is not the kind of will on the part of the government in baghdad.

they're also divided themselves between mali and al abadi and their followers. and it's not clear if the sunnies are armed after they've been trained if some of those arms will be lost once again to isil. remember the 2,000 humvees that was obtained by isil when they occupied mosul? if it's going to be drip drip type of escalation by the united states, it's not clear to me how exactly america is going to bring out that geo-eccentric change that would allow them to degrade, defeat and destroy isil. thus far what we've soon is them not defeating isil, isil has been expanding in anbar. they have been expanding and they have taken over several key

iraqi cities. it's even attacking baghdad here and there and it's not exactly succeeding. but now we see isil in syria libya, so the phenomenon is not just iraqi, it's middle eastern and there is not the kind of adequate american-iraqi response to the phenomenon. >> marwan from doha. thank you so much. well, it has been a year since isil first declared itself in iraq. >> beyond the bridge is isil territory. mosul, the biggest urban center in northern iraq. some 2 million people are pleased believed to still live there. >> there are people who want to leave, but they have to pay isil a huge amount of money that they don't have. they have to provide guarantees like their house to prove that

they plan to come back. they live in a prison. >> these people are born and raised in mosul. they fled to the kurdish controlled north last year when isil took over. al jazeera does not have access to the city, but these journalists have contacts inside who secretly film. they explain how isil use every opportunity to brainwash the people of mosul. they even breach in mosques. according to these journalists isil hides its weapons in civilian neighborhoods so people will turn against the u.s. air coalition when it targets the area. but isil does have some support. it is able to exploit sunni grievances. many in the community have long felt targeted by the government and iranian backed militias. >> the majority may not support isil but we cannot deny that there are those who do. isil has ideology and they exploit the long-held oppression over sunni.

>> i'm surrounded by kurdish peshmerga forces from three sides. they've managed to hold the lines with the u.s.-led coalition airstrikes. right now they have no plan to move towards the mainly sunni city. they'll play a supporting raul if and when a decision is made to recapture iraq's second largest city. the iraqi government's plans to do so have been stalled but isil has reportedly been preparing for that battle. it has dug a french and placed conacre barriers as a line of defense, and it is breeding a new generation of fighters. >> isil is recruiting. >> it insures that ideology will

endure for years to come. al jazeera, northern iraq. >> representatives from libya's two governments are meeting international officials in berlin for talks aimed at solving the country's political crisis. those talks come a day after the aim to create an unity government fell apart. what have they been saying about these talks? >> well, the news conference that follow the talks here was remarkable for two things. firstly, the absence of representatives from libyan governments along side the two speakers as it were to say anything from their point of view. and secondly from the unanimity from the german minister about the need for speed in dealing

with the situation. they both said they praise each other's institutions but said that the two libyan governments need to appreciate that this proposal this draft proposal was a last best option, as it were and that it had a shelf life. >> libya has no more time. this is my first message. for those who are listening from libya it is very important to understand and to translate these in concrete actions in saying clearly that enough is enough under the time has come to make a deal. >> and the reference to time there is particularly to do with the muslim holy month of ramadan, which is only days away now. and mr. leon was very clear in say to go reporters that both sides of libya needed to appreciate that this was the right time for them to find resolution moving towards an agreement. they also talked about the role of the islamic state in iraq and

the levant, and the suggestion that they had taken the city of sirte and said this should be like a catalyst of both governments that this is the time for them to come together. neither of those two governments were prepared to appear along side those two speakers and speak for themselves. and the communique that emerged from after the press conference was full of warm words but it appeared not to have any announcement any real progress towards a resolution in the coming days. >> dominic kane in berlin. thank you. the united nations security council is discussing the worsening situation in the darfur region in western sudan. it's a crucial meeting over the most dysfunctional peacekeeping mission. we have reports now from the u.n. >> the situation in darfur is certainly deteriorating. these are among 150,000 people

forced to flee their homes since the beginning of this year. the size of the current peacekeeping force in place since 2008 has already been reduced just 15,000 troops and police to control the territory the size of france. on the security council one diplomat told me that a joint mission by the u.n. and african union was the most dysfunctional peacekeeping mission in the world. but there are disagreements on how to change things. some are calling for exit strategy. others want a more focused approach in doing fewer things better. >> now is not the time to withdraw. instead we need to reconfigure it's mandate so we focus even more effort on its core role, which is protecting vulnerable civilians. we also see a role for it in mediating a conflict but any other task we want to reduce so that it can focus more effectively on that core role. >> the government of omar bash

--ashir recently elected has said in the past he wants unimed out of his country and the acting head of the country was pretty clear. >> these conditions have to do with security, the civilians guarantees for their protection and security. and ability to go back home without fear. and they also need to engage to. >> an example of the problems in the relationship between the government of sudan and the u.n. is a recent incident where permission was requested for an ethiopian peace keeper for evacuated. the request was denied and he

died. when you speak to people away from the cameras they will tell you privately that the actions of the government of sudan is one of the reasons why unimed is not working. and when you speak to security council some will tell you if they continue to fail than the u.n. should withdraw. that's exactly what sudan has made it clear it wants to happen. james bays, al jazeera. of the united nations. >> still ahead on the program calls for tighter security as tourists are targeted in egypt. >> in the central philippines we'll be reporting why the united nations once lauded the country for what it calls it's strong humanitarian tradition.

>> a year after isil took control of mosul iraq's second largest city. al jazeera has discovered evidence that they're recruiting thousands of children in the city. a year after u.n.-backed talks in libya broke down in morocco, two rival governments are now meeting in berlin. it's hope that the negotiation will put an end to the chaos that has over taken the country.

in egypt a suicide-bombing egypt's interior ministry said that two bombers were shot. one was killed and the other badly injure: no tourists have been hurt and there is no immediate claim of responsibility. it's the second attack to target egypt's tourism industry. tunisia's navy has rescued 250,000 migrants off the southeastern coast. they have left libya for lampedusa, but the makeshift vessel broke down. four of the rescued migrants including a pregnant woman are being treated in hospital. >> reporter: well, this latest rescue reminded that tunisia is not immune from the crisis affecting libya and also europe. the coast guard managed to can you these people, and 400 of them have been brought back to

tunisia. many of them are from sub sahara africa some are from syria morocco and tunisia. we understand that in the past six months the tunisian coast guard has rescued hundreds of people in a similar way. the problem is once they get to tunisia what happens to them next? those who are economic migrants, people from west africa, nigeria nigeria, gambia sierra leone, they'll have to be sent back home. those who are asylum seekers people from eretrea they may try to get back to libya through the desert and make another attempt of that perilous journey to italy. >> the philippines wants to show it's expertise of how to look

avalanches. they have a long tradition of looking after asylum seekers. >> the father returned to the central philippines three years ago after decades away. not that it's home. father john said that he's been without a home since his family fled vietnam on a small boat 40 years ago in the midst of the war. the philippines was their first stop towards asylum to the u.s. >> my thought is to do something for the filipinos as part of repayment, form of repayment to their kindness. >> some 400,000 people from vietnam, laos, cambodia came through here. it was a temporary settlement toward permanent relocation

elsewhere. it closed down in 1996. the refugees who were still here were moved to a smaller village but the philippine tradition offering help of refugee goes back to the 19 30's and 40s. when it welcomed jews fleeing the nazis spanish republicans fleeing a civil war and the chinese fleeing an invading japanese army. it's a poignant return to this woman 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 still has nightmares, and she said that she sees it reflected in the images of the refugees at sea today. >> to see the hopelessness on their face. and i was thinking, oh my god this is how we were when we were

on these boats. and it was terrible. >> the last refugee village still stands. a handful of people have chose ton stay. but thousands more have moved on. the near empty streets seen as a testament that hopelessness can be turned around. >> the people have faced hardship, and it will give them drive in order to success. and most of them will become successful and contribute to society that holds them. >> dr. fong, father john said being a refugee has made him stronger better able to do what he does. they've come a long way from the asylum centers proof that refugees should not be treated as burdens. al jazeera. >> the "world health organization" has urged the south korean government to reopen thousands of schools that were closed during a mers outbreak. so far nine people have died

from the middle east respiratory syndrome virus and a hundred have been infected. >> the common cold is being taken more seriously than ever. anyone with even mild symptoms, a could cough, a fever are brought here and kept well away from patients in the main building. anyone confirmed with mers is immediately quarantined. >> as we started this, the atmosphere will become more incorporated in putting this under control. this will be a major water shed moment. >> inside the measures now being taken to protect staff and other patients are on display. so there are eight patients with mers currently being treated in this hospital. they've been all brought here from other hospitals already with the disease. the risk of infection elsewhere is very minimal. however, the government is

saying that other patients have been presenting themselves at other facilities and they're concerned about the spread from hospital to hospital. >> they're telling who suspects they have spurs to stay home. >> the government will consider the people's life and health as the first priority and curb the spread of mers. >> nearly half of the confirmed cases have been contracted here in southern seoul. officials say that the numbers should start to decline through this week if it has been limited to a hospital outbreak. inside visiting experts from the "world health organization" were trying to establish why mers has spread so rapidly through medical facilities in south can rhea. and it's causing companies to take precautions even if some

employees are not reassureed. >> the cameras are to detect people who are already showing symptoms which means that their virus would have already dispersed. it's like prescribing medicine after a death has already occurred. >> there is not an attempt to show unified concerted response to this threat across south korea. real reassurance will come only if and when there is a sustained decrease in the numbers of new infections. >> burundi's leader has announced the president election for later this month will be put back by 19 days. protests have been taking place since april when the president announced he was running for a third time. and protesters say that violates the constitution. the new date is july 1st while parliamentary votes will take place june 29th. that's a month later than planned. the latest u.s. police officer accused of prison

violence against black people has now resigned. it has caused international outcry when this video of policeman handling this 14-year-old girl went viral. there were allegations of racism. the police are under heavy scrutiny. >> release of a man who has been in solitary confinement for 43 years. his murder conviction was overturned twice and was supposed to be released wednesday. but the louisiana wants to keep him in prison until friday. >> he's now 68 years old and he was convicted as you mentioned of killing a prison guard in the early 70s in the louisiana

known as any goal la. angola. while in prison he and several other men formed the black panthers werer and were vocal about inhumane conditions inside the prison. and many believe he was put in solitary confinement because he was so outspoken. he was convicted twice for the murder but we know those convictions were overturn. and yesterday a federal judge sided that woodfox should be released that there with a prejudice in his case and they could not get a third trial. and he felt that it was time for the court just to be done with this case and to let him be free. but we do know again that the court of appeals came back late this afternoon here in louisiana and said there should an stay in this case. while the state appeals this case mr. woodfox should remain in prison. you have two conflicting

decisions. the federal judge saying he should be released, and the appeals judge saying he should stay in prison. going online 4.2 billion people are still not able to connect. we have reports on how the giants of the web are hoping to access this huge untapped market. >> more than 3.1 billion people are currently connected to the internet. more people are signing up at a rate of 450 every minute. that's 65,000 new people coming online each day. the trouble is 40% of the people online 1.1 billion live in just three countries. china, the u.s. and in india. contrast that with 100 least connected countries together their home to just 1.65% of those on the internet. many of these countries lack fiber and mobile networks making

it expensive for people to get internettic access. that's why google has been testing the use of drones and balloons. these test flights were flown over the south island of new zealand. google declineed an interview with al jazeera but said in an e-mail that the technology it's testing could be cheaper and more flexible than lan networks. criticscy that google's search engine is already a formidable force, and if this could be too much. >> we're already about speed. are the underlying power dynamic dynamics changing or is it a very small group of people exerting his power and control over a much larger group. >> it starts up here at 60,000 feet. >> facebook's internet.org has been looking at drones to bring internet access to remote areas.

>> our plan is to bring basic internet services affordable so everyone with a phone can enjoy the knowledge of the community. >> offering free access to a limited number of online services. no coincidence one of these is facebook and it's internet.org that determines which other services can be on the platform. they're doing it out of their self interest. they're not doing it because they are charities. because they believe in altruism and, etc. they're doing it because having more people online benefits them. >> google's working to improve the strength of the balloons, it's launch system and how it can keep them connected during flight. once these issues are solved, google said it will scale up its airborne network. the question is whether the people below will be ready to receive internet net from the sky and accept their terms and
