more bases this iraq - the chairman of the joint chiefs says the u.s. is considering adding more military bases in iraq to help in the fight against i.s.i.l. it would also require additional forces sent to iraq. the death of an american... >> the united states government does not support u.s. citizens travelling to iraq or syria to fight against i.s.i.l. u.s. officials speak out on the death of keith broomfield the american killed fighting

with kurds against i.s.i.l. of hundreds of people pay respects as his body is returned to his family a powerful take down. a chinese security tsar gets life in prison on charges of abuse of power and accepting bribes. as chinese president xi jinping cracks town on corruption afterschool learning. >> it's trying to find the ways that - yes, that technology - the new ways and programs of doing things. the future of schools the creative ways kids are learning in armenia, as educators from around the world take notice. good evening this is it al jazeera america, i'm imran garda in for antonio mora. we begin with the potential for

more u.s. troops heading to iraq. the chairman of the joint chiefs general dempsey, says the u.s. is considering building more military bases in the country, a day after the white house announced it was sending 450 additional troops to vz iraqi forces. and -- advise iraqi forces. and it might increase the numbers in iran but the alternative is to reassign soldiers there, to avoid troops. hundreds in a kurdish town in syria came out to pay their respects to keith broomfelled who guide fighting for i.s.i.l. jamie mcintyre is in washington with more than dempsey's comments. >> as joint chief chairman general dempsey is not just the highest ranking officer, but the principal advisor to the president and the secretary of defense. when he thinks something is a good idea it has a good chance

to happen. before the boots of the u.s. medical advisors hit the ground the joint chiefs chairman said the conduct of lily pads could be used elsewhere in iraq. and she told reporters that: dempsey said the lily pad concept for communications works in the headquarters side by side with iraqi commanders and can make iraqi operations more effective. dempsey may be the top advisor to president obama, but the white house was cool to increasing bases and sending troops without seeing success in getting iraqi forces who fled

ramadi back in the fight. >> there's no specific plans to do that. what i will say, though is if a recommendation like this did come from the president is national security team and his military advisors in particular. it would be a recommendation that reflects that the ongoing training efforts have been useful. >> determine si said the addition of advisors is an adjustment not a change to the current strategy. after relying on iraqi troops to do all the fighting on the ground. and says a similar lily pad in the corridor running from baghdad to tikrit to kirkuk and moosual may make sense -- mosul may make sense. the term lily pad refers to a launching or jumping off pad. there's no intention to sends troops to the ground or putting u.s. spotters on the ground. a move that efforts agree would

increase the accuracy of air strikes in urban contact. dempsey said they were not there yet. the outgoing chief of staff of the army says putting u.s. troops back this the combat role is not the answer. >> i put 150,000 soldiers on the ground to defeat i.s.i.l. yes. >> if you put 150,000 on it it would defeat i.s.i.s. >> yes. >> but then what. >> the u.s. can quickly dispatch i.s.i.l. the underlying sectarian divisions remain and the u.s. faces protagonists down the road. >> the general says think of the lilly pad as a launching group, where the troops can get fresh supplies and advance and brush up on training. more can be used to support them. the chairman said these are not game changes, it has to come

from the government in iraq. >> the pentagon released details on the financial cost. the u.s. spending $2.74 billion on air strikes, weapons, surveillance. the daily cost when the fight was focussing on i.s.i.l. in iraq was 5.6 million. when the battle expanded to include syria, it jumped to 9.7 million, making the average daily cost since the coalition effort began, 9.1 million per day. douglas oliphant is a senior fellow and served in iraq taking place in the iraq surge in 2006. thank you for joining us. is the united states re-engaging military in everything but name in iraq? >> no i don't think so. there's a distinction with a difference here. the united states is continuing to - is still on the same strategy. we are going to expand the

number of bases on which we are executing the strategy. fundamentally the united states is equipping, training providing intelligence and air power to the iraqi forces that have to take to i.s.i.l. daesh whatever we want to call it. now, instead of doing it from four bases in iraq we'll do it from five, maybe six or seven. the strategy is the same the united states support, but the iraqis have to take the fight. >> a few more bases, under 500 troops there as advisors is that symbolic. is that tangibly going to help the iraqis? >> i think the base at takata tq a base that american forces have been at, will do a couple of things. first of all, as i understand it this is where the new operation center moved to. we'll have americans coordinating senior strategy for

the anbar campaign. second, tq is in the middle of a different tribal area in anbar. the downside of tribes is they are tribal they occupy certain pieces of terrain, by putting the base and putting iraqi forces on it, it allows a different group to be engaged. finally it gives a safe locks location for the iraqis to work -- safe location for the iraqis to work on. they know if there are americans on a base it will not fall. there'll be a bunch making sure the americans don't get taken out, and if i.s.i.l. tries to attack there'll be air power as far as the eyes to see. and the iraqis that life there will know that they'll have a safe space. >> if you were in charge would you do the same. >> we are close to the right

strategy. a lot of people want to put troops on the ground. but then what. this is the iraqis fight. putting americans on the ground is not palatable in the united states nor is it palat alt in iran. they were occupied by the united states for 10 years, there's zero appetite for american uniforms to be on the ground outside the bases. you get them outside the walls, it's a whole different thing. >> can anything change when a blind eye is given to ethnic cleansing, sunnis don't trust the government. tribes are saying "hey we are joining i.s.i.l. it's our best bet" with all of that in mind when you look at the politics, can anything else change. >> you have to get the politics fixed. the shia and sunni leader who is in washington d.c. this week - i think we have two figures who can work together

find a way to find compromises and move the politics forward. thank you so much doug oliphant the pod by of a former iraqi prime minister has been located. once an aid to saddam hussein died of a heart attack on friday. his family arranged to have his remains thrown to jordan but his body was snatched by an unidentified group of men. lawyers for the government say the body is in the government possession a virginia honour student pleaded guilty to terror charges, for helping another team travel to i.s.i.l. he admitted using twitter and other social media sites to solicit donations or support. the other teen made it to syria and faces terrorism charges. he faces up to 16 years in prison meanwhile, australia prime minister is using a technology conference to talk about

terrorism. tony abbott said fighting terror is the greatest security challenge for the region. he vowed to stop australians from joining groups like i.s.i.l. the conference is aimed at finding ways to cut off i.s.i.l.'s online propaganda. >> the government is looking at what can be done to deal with australian citizens who are betrayed our country by fighting with terrorists. already, the government with the support of the opposition imposed heavy punishment to people that travelled to terrorist control areas. wayne hay is in sydney with more. >> reporter: the theme of the conference is challenging terror propaganda and is about combatting the message spread by i.s.i.l. over the internet. they are believed to send out tens of thousands of messages

through social media every day, hoping to attract new recruits to its fight. australia has been particularly concerned about its citizens here heading to iraq in syria to join i.s.i.l. it's believed around 100,000 australian citizens have done that. there was a lot of discussion at the summit about a community-led response. governments in the region including australia, have been busy over recent years, passing tougher anti-terror laws. there needs to be a community led response to the problem particularly when it comes to vulnerable people in the community target by terror organizations wayne hay in sydney a new report says british spying laws should be scrapped calling them undepartment ucks unnecessary and unusable. >> reporter: the british government's reviewer of

terrorism of legislation, the barrister david anderson is scathing about the laws currently for private communication on the phone and by satellite and internet. >> incomprehensible, he says, intolerable. >> the law is like an old car, it's been patched up one too many cars it's been patched all over the place. there's 65 different parliament involved. >> reporter: the report was commissioned by the government and comes as the government is planning new legislation here. on a great number of key recommendations, there's one in particular that senior ministers be stripped of the power to authorise surveillance and it be given to senior judges. mr anderson believes that may encourage foreign base to u.s. companies, divulging information

by users on chat platforms, areas that are felt to be in the dark. >> it's about the shift from telephony to internet and the shift to incrips, sharing and so on. i'm in favour of encrips, it's a good thing, but it makes the agencies worried, and forces them to be resourceful in terms of how they may try to access information. the important thing is that they should be able to do so when it matters. >> reporter: as the report was presented to parliament the government said it would produce draft legislation in the face of considerable and revolving threats. privacy campaigners expressed dismay at the retention of bull why can surveillance privacy international said this - it took a whistleblower from

another country to shine a light on what is done in our name the message can't be clearer. nothing less than wholesale reform. >> a bloody new front emerged in the war on syria, a human rights group said al-qaeda-affiliated al nusra front executed 30 people in idlib province. they were members of a sent of rebel groups have targeted areas in north-west syria. they claimed to show them on an air base. the bashar al-assad regime claims they have stopped the assaults assaults ash carter welcomed a top chinese member. the u.s. and china have been at odds over china's land reclamation project in the south

china sea, and a mass of cyber attacks blamed on china. the president is due to visit in september. >> china's former domestic security chief was sentenced to life in prison. he is the most senior official to be convicted in a sweeping anticorruption campaign. he pleaded guilty to bribery charges. as adrian brown reports, they doubt that justice was served. >> reporter: deep in the lush countryside of eastern china, this is the ancestral village of a politician one of the most powerful men in china, a vast and empty compound stands on the spot of this man's home. according to state media, it was built with government funds. a charm to ward off evil spirits hangs by the front door. many villages resent the media

scrutiny that made the village infamous. it was about the only place in china where people are speaking up for him. >> he made the village better he did a lot. he was good. now people think he's bad. i don't understand. >> is he a good man. >> if i say he's a good guys, it's useless. the government says it's bad, and that's the conclusion. >> the chinese character on the wall besides the village entrance says be loyal to your master and this village remains just that. >> until three years ago, he was master of china's secrets. head of the vast security apparatus. this community prospered. beside the village, a modern highway. >> a year ago it would have been

impossible for a journalist it stand outside the home of a man who was a fierce and powerful politician. the fact that i am is a measure how far he has fallen. >> the only other visitors are site seers, enjoying doing what would once have led to unrest. unlike the villages they have little sympathy for joe. if joe had been executed he could have ended up here the family grave site. instead he'll spend the rest of his life in gaol his down fall as much to do with politics as corruption the fight against i.s.i.l. is attracting a lot of westerners. coming up why the death of an american citizen fighting along side kurdish forces is raising a lot of questions tonight and greeks take to the street protesting new austerity

measures, even though none have been announced. announced.

the body of keith broomfield the american citizens killed while fighting alongside kurdish forces is expected to be returned to massachusetts by saturday. at a news conference broomfield says his son hold him the lord was directing him to syria to fight. we focus on foreigners going to fight against i.s.i.l. courtney kealy reports he's not the only american on the front line. >> reporter: chanting "martyrs don't die itself these supporters bid farewell to keith broomfield. the 36-year-old massachusetts man died in battle on june 3rd,

in a syrian village near the town of kobane. he's probably the first american killed fighting alongside ycg. he was greeted by family at the turkish border. u.s. laws prohibit citizens fighting overseas for other countries. >> what is interesting is the state department has not cracked down, or spoken out on these americans helping. they are not fully equipped. they are snipers. it is dangerous, people do die. i would imagine that there's going to be more casualties as more people head over and more skirmishes take place. the syrian observatory for human rights has more than 400 foreigners joined the y.p.g. to fight i.s.i.l. >> i'm keith broomfield. i'm from the boston area. my mother is donna, father tom. >> reporter: keith broomfield joined the fight on february 24th.

>> i'm here to do what i can to help kurdistan with everything that is going on. seems like the right thing to do. >> reporter: friends and neighbours say he had no military experience but went to fight i.s.i.l. because of his christian face. the police chief visited and offered condolences to the family. >> he is visibly upset and shaken up. his mother has a strong faith. in her words, he's in god's hands now. that's the way she's looking at it. >> reporter: social media offers a space for foreigners wanting to join the battle. it is illegal for kurds to recruit foreigners much according to a peshmerga spokesman, some have been turned away. that doesn't seem likely to deter people like keith broomfield prepared to die for their faith matthew van dyk is involved

with fathers of sons a group preparing americans and train iraqis. he joins us from philadelphia. did you know keith broomfield? >> no i did not know him. >> how do you feel about his death? >> i mean you know he found something that he believed was worth fighting and dying for and he went and did what he believed in and did it for the right side for a good cause. a lot of people never find that in their life. if you die doing what he believed in then it's - it's unfortunate, but a good death. >> matthew... >> sorry, it's not consolation to his family. but he died for a good cause. >> undoubtedly i.s.i.l. does horrendous things. you have an organization called sons of liberty international.

it's faith based, in a region that is a swamp of sectarian killing, religions, not just yil running around attacking each other. do you think you are helping the situation by arming groups. >> we are not faith based. we support groups fighting threats or authoritarian regimes. we work on christian persecutions. we trained a battalion of iraqi christians 230 men to might against i.s.i.s. that will have an impact. if we train them there would be no trained christian forces in iraq. there no doubt it's having an impact. >> it's ilas a u.s. citizen to fight for a foreign group or as a mercenary, are you okay with that.

>> i fought in the libyan revolution. i was a member of the rebel forces. i was wounded with a prisoner of war. there's footage of me fighting in the war, and i never had a problem with the u.s. government. i'm not sure what the realities are, but i know from minor action was the state department or other agencies that there was no problem with what i did, and i don't imagine any of these fighters would have problem. >> why didn'tour government enough for you? why don't you join the army? >> the army is not particularly active in iraq. the kurds are only fighting for kurdistan. and the iraqi army are quite runners, not such good fighters. they don't need training they need the courage to stand up and fight. no amount of training will do that. what we are doing will have some tangible impact on the ground in this conflict.

a lot of others believe it to. we have a lot of support. we do our work for free we get our funding for support. we have over 500 applicants most of them former military who signed up for the opportunity to go and work for us. if you were captured who negotiates. do you expect the government to? >> no i have left instructions with my family that if i'm captured doing what i believe in not to have the government negotiator try to rescue me. it's my responsibility. if i die for a cause i believe in, i accept the consequences of that as a fighter, i stand with the men that i support and accept the risk that they accept. and don't want to be treated differently if captured. >> thank you so much for joining us from philadelphia thank you for having me desperation is setting in for millions of people displaced in south sudan, the civil war
