9:02 pm
chattanooga, tennessee. two were injured. the gunman has been identified as mohammod youssuf abdulazeez, born in kuwait and came to the u.s. as a child in 1996. he was killed during the attack. national security correspondent e pentagon. a sad and difficult day there. >> absolutely, and there's one big question hanging over the investigation of this shooting which appears to have been done by a gunman acting on his own. that is is this the so-called lone-wolf attack inspired by i.s.i.l. that u.s. law enforcement officials have been so worried about? >> at the navy's operational support center in chattanooga, tennessee, mourners lay flowers at the site where four u.s. marines were gunned town at 11 o'clock in the morning. it began at a strip maul where the gunman in a mustang convertible pulled up to a navy
9:03 pm
revuting station and -- recruiting station and pumped 200 rounds through the door of the store front. >> we saw the silver convertible mustang and he was unloading a large i.s.i.l. >> i didn't want to get hit. i pulled it off. and i went around back where i saw people scaeming from the back of the building -- screaming from the back of the building. >> the back door prevented the loss of life. a mar each was wounded at that location. at the naval support center the gunman opened fire again in a parking lot. it was there that four marines were killed and a sailor wounded. chattanooga pledged the full support of the city. >> it's incomprehensible to see what happened and the way that individuals who proudly serve our country were treated. >> the gunmen were shot dead by police, identified by fbi as 24-year-old mohammod youssuf abdulazeez. born in kuwait, but who lived in the chattanooga area.
9:04 pm
he is seen here in a mug shot taken after he was stopped for driving under the influence in april of this year. at this point, his motive is a subject of intense investigation. >> we are going to do an intense look at him to see if what his connections are, and look at his friends, family and associates, and anyone associated with him, to determine the cause or the reason why he conduct this attack. >> reporter: at this late hour pentagon officials have not identified the four marines gunned down today because of the most notification of next of kip process, which will -- kin process, which will take 24 hours, we are likely not to find out their identities until tomorrow. >> this has to worry the military because there are recruiting stations like these all over the county what are they doing about security. >> they are doing what they can.
9:05 pm
there's not anything they cab do to harden targets in the united states. these recruiting stations in particular in the public areas are designed to be a welcoming place for people to come in and find out about careers in the military. it's not the kind of place where you have barriers and metal detectors, and that sort of thing. the u.s. military is at a high state of alert. to threat condition bravo. i tell you, at a very very secure place like the pentagon, where i am tonight, where there's multilevels of security there's places where you could be vulnerable. like when you drive into the parking lot before you get to security. there's a lid to what is done. that's why the lone wolf attacks are hard to detect or stop. >> we turn to lisa stark, in washington, for more.
9:06 pm
>> those who knew the suspect, mohammod youssuf abdulazeez seem stunned when he was named by the fbi as the man who perpetuated the shooting, as jamie said, he was arrested in april, or charged by local police there for driving under the influence. as far as we know that is the only connection he has had with local police at this time. now, he also apparently, was an aficionado of mixed marshall arts taking place in competitions and fights. that was a passion. the family came from kuwait to the united states, and had been here some time. the family home located outside the city of chattanooga, was searched today by swat teams, a heavy presence of military moving into the very placid neighbourhood and taking away from the house two women in handcuffs. the mayor was asked if they were roasted, and he said he could
9:07 pm
not comment on that. mohammod youssuf abdulazeez attended a local high school during the year book and senior picture. they are ask to do a quote. he says "my name causes national security alerts - what does your do?" he attended the university of chattanooga, tennessee, and graduated with a degree in electrical engineering. the president of the neighbourhood association where the family lived - they lived there for some time at least more than a decade said they were shocked when he was arrested or named as the shooter. they said they knew the young man, he was nice. i can't believe it. the fbi will be hooking carefully into what may have turned someone who, by all accounts was a pleasant nice young man, into someone that took aim at two military facilities today.
9:08 pm

9:09 pm
al jazeera about the need to defeat i.s.i.l. in iraq and syria. countries should be united in the fight against the rebels. the iraqi military launch the an offensive to reclaim anbar province. the first is to take back control of fallujah and ramadi. imran khan spoke to commanders and analysts about the fight for anbar. >> iraq security forces are calling this the operation. while that is ongoing, those who are fleeing from the violence are suffering. one of the bridges linking anbar to baghdad have been closed as a result of heat exhaustion little help has been available. the brim will open on sunday, and the relief was offered. in baghdad, those that are not escaping the violence are suffering. after sunrise it is too hot, and there's no electricity.
9:10 pm
it's hot at our homes. >> reporter: the operation to remove i.s.i.l. from anbar involves 11,000 iraqi soldiers and have been running since sunday. the u.s.-led coalition stepped up air strikes and hit targets near fallujah. >> what we are doing is sending troops to take key roads to break up safe houses used by i.s.i.l. this time if we need to we can change tactics. the coalition and the iraqi air force is involved. >> so far the push has been to take certain roads and villages in preparation f the cities of fallujah and ramadi. take those from i.s.i.l. in the hope that the rest of the province will follow. not all agree. >> they have announced many operations before, but this time it's different the the iraqi security forces will cut supply lines between ramadi and
9:11 pm
fallujah in the past they liberate a town but capitalize on the gain and have to withdraw. >> all across baghdad they see posters like this, wishing for the forces to have victory. i.s.i.s. is a formidable enemy. they have managed to learn from previous times, and that is crucial when it comes to developing their tactics against iraqi security forces the. the security forces are insisting that anbar province operations will be definitive and they'll be defeated. >> doug ollivant is a senior security fellow and director for iraq at the national security council during the bush and obama administrations. joining us from d.c. good to see you. >> evening. >> a lot of us were aware of threat posed by i.s.i.l. when it took over fallujah i.s.i.l.
9:12 pm
held the city since, it's barely an hour away, why has it taken so long to fight back? >> i think for a long time i.s.i.l. concentrated forces in anbar and fallujah before it experienced pressure with the kurds or syria. for a while. i.s.i.l. was able to concentrate its force in anbar and fallujah. >> reports say that there are fewer than 2,000 troops inside fallujah. that is plenty to cause trouble in urban warfare. >> absolutely. let's make no mistake. this will be a complex problem. it is fought in a city. it doesn't take many people nth a city. i don't know how many people were there in second fallujah, when the u.s. army took down fallujah i spct it wasn't more it was a hard fight, a lot of civilians were hurt. we need to realistically expect a replay of that given the
9:13 pm
reports that we have that oil is sealing the civilians in the city. reports i'm reading are inside fallujah and 50,000 inside ramadi and using them as human shields, making the human cost of this high. >> because the reports are that i.s.i.l. is confiscating i.d. papers, these people are trapped in the cities. this increased in that part of the world. >> not just taking their papers but they are using multiple means to keep the the population in here. i.s.i.l. is many things. they are not stupid. shia militia is fighting for fallujah, before the government offensive. what issing it is that the operation will in -- what is interesting is that it will include some sort of tripe. >> it's important, the army will be leading, and it's important
9:14 pm
to remember the iraqi minister of defence is a sunni. he's been out on the flints having leadership in person and seen in anbar, on the outskirts of ramadi. he's out there showing the flag. we have the ricky police. federal police, and also the shia militias and the sunni tribal fighters. we have a unique coalition, and as the report says the u.s. air force, coalition air force in support. all the pieces are in place. whether this goes well or not, we'll have to see. all the pieces are in place where there's a possibility that this could go well. >> there are reports that they have taken up key positions around fallujah, and in the suburbs there. the u.s. started delivering f-16s to the iraqi government, but this kapt be one from the air -- can't be one from the
9:15 pm
air. >> absolutely not. air power can help. there has been u.s. airmen, air force generals making serious arguments that air power is not used effectively enough. we have to listen to that. at the end of day wars are won on the ground, someone will have to push nil out of the area. >> as we look at the bombing operations taking out tanks, artillery and tactics, how long can yul take the punishment. >> not too much longer. and the tie hards in the cities can make the fight hard. if they had no chance of success and are going to die in place. they can make the battle painful. >> good to have your insights on
9:16 pm
what is going on in iraq. >> members of yemen's exiled government are returning to the country. a delegation arriving after they were pushed out by the rebels. exiled abd-rabbu mansour hadi delegated the officials to help restore stability. >> reporter: the sounds of cheering, fire works and gunshots. as people celebrated, the biggest defeat in the city since the conflict began. members of the president's cabinet are returning to the southern port city for the first time since fighting forced them to leave. >> we will announce within the coming few days that we would prefer the interir sitting. as for the three ministers, this is part of a plan to return members to the city. where the government will be based.
9:17 pm
abd-rabbu mansour hadi and his cabinet had been attempting to run the government from aden. after rebels drove them out of the capital. they were forced to flee aden several months ago as the country sleeped into confict. saudi forces retook control of the airport in aden. >> congratulations to the people of aden. >> in the city of taiz people were offering condolences instead. hospitals were filled with the dead and injured after shelling in a residential area. sources say eight civilians, and 46 houthi and rebel militia fighters were killed. yemenis were supposed to see a lull in fighting and get access to much-needed aid. the u.n. brokered a truce last friday, to give humanitarian agencies safe passage to dangerous areas. it fell apart after it began. >> the needs are water, heath,
9:18 pm
food, nude rigs - pretty much everything that you could imagine. we have a humanitarian catastrophe at the moment. >> 21 of yemens 24 million people need help. aid agencies are ready to deliver. people say they can't continue to wait japanese troops haven't fought outside the country since world war ii. coming up a move by the prime minister that would allow japan's forces to serve abroad. later the news conference that turned into a debate between israeli president binyamin netanyahu, and u.k. foreign secretary phillip
9:19 pm
9:20 pm
the u.s. and china are at odds over a security bill that
9:21 pm
will allow japan to fight abroad. u.s. officials welcomed the move as a way to strengthen ties between tokyo and washington. in our "in context" segment. harry faucet looks at how the measure is dividing japan. >> reporter: for a second-day running, japan voiced their opposition to what was happening. the majority voter are against shinzo abe's legislation, which will loosen the situation and on which legal resolutions are calling unconstitutional. >> i'm here to oppose the bills. >> the government can buy me more. >> for a second day running, the ruling coalition with the two third majority was demonstrating its power. the bill has been forced through
9:22 pm
to a full vote in the lower houses the passage, a formality, that the opposition walked out before the vote. this is a step to what he calls normalizing the post-war status. the security situation surrounding japan is severe. these bills are necessary to protect japanese people's lives, and prevent a war before it breaks out. the cabinet retermed the passage -- redetermined the passage a year ago. the legislation is needed before that can happen, and is designed to make it easier for troops to coordinate with u.s. counterparts in asia and enable the deployment in logistics in a conflict far from home. >> shinzo abe will take a hit politically, not so much the role that forces will play.
9:23 pm
there's a broad agreement that the current situation of an asymmetric relationship is not really in japan's interests. it's the method by which he has gone through this. it has been by subverting the constitutional order and the japanese governments in the past interpreted the constitution. >> for shinzo abe, this is about making good on a commitment given to an ally the united states. and fulfilling an ambition. at home with mounting opposition to the content of the bills, and the methods by which they are forced through, he is paying the price. tobias harris worked for a member of the upper house and joins us from washington d.c. i know shinzo abe wanted to get past the guilt of japan's
9:24 pm
militarism. polls that the members want to finance pacifism. this goes back to his father during the 1950s, whose goal was to claim autonomy. part was advising on the constitution. undoing the restrictions on japan's military imposed after the war. and in many ways, that is what is driving abe now. and why he took a risk. that it needs a stronger
9:25 pm
military advance and how i.s.i.l. executed two japanese hostages. doesn't he have a point. >> the time is ore due for japan to have that debate. in a lot of ways the corey ashe government has not explained what it has done. it's been evaseive. as a result it's not a debate about what is best for japan. >> shinzo abe's atravel rate
9:26 pm
rating -- approval rating. >> the bill is in the upper house. i think it's too soon to say whether he'll lee office or be forced to resign. at the end of the day he faces no strong opposition party, they have made no head way in terms of regaining support. >> their support has been going up. >> not at all. >> the u.s. supported the move, japan is a world economic power. from the perspective of the international community, and i realise they use money. shouldn't they take on a share of its responsibility for world peace? >> i mean there's an argument to be made for that. again, it's a question of what that means.
9:27 pm
obviously japan has been participating in peacekeeping operations for 20 years and has been expanding the role. that expansion is down in a get mate fashion that's the ultimate thing. shinzo abe won the election. it's a democratic election. if you form a parliament you can make the policies that you want you take the risk. at the end of the day, it's up to the voters next time they vote in an election. if they don't like it they can fight it out. it will be interesting how it plays out. >> we are continuing to follow the top story.
