hi there, four bombs. >> we're seeing these car bombs attacks more and more. there have been a number of them this week. the attacks have not been claimed but they do follow a pattern, and it looks to be the work of islamic state in iraq and the levant, who has taken responsibility in the back for bombs like these. there is a real tactic that these guys use all the time. they developed humvees and iraqi security check points. here they use ordinary saloon cars. it's difficult to protect yourself from these types of

attacks. it's very >> there is an atmosphere rear that they simple aren't can't protect themselves. but given there were two suicide-bombings against an army parole here patrol here. but if the army and security forces canned defend themselves what hope do they have of defending the people? >> people are feeling afraid to go out are communities findings ways to defend themselves? >> there are these answer official neighborhood watch groups springing up. the real fear that those unofficial watch groups will

morph into militias, and there will be more out on the streets defending their neighborhoods. when you have a situation like this, and car bombs going off and they will strike back. there is also the sectarian elements. the attacks are in predominantly in shia neighborhoods. they are backing that up.

national unity government. so the key question now as they wait for results all the burundis who have lived through weeks and months of violence and instability are they agree to national unity? will the government of national unity work? what is clear is this is a goods thing. it seems all the key players seem to be the dialogue the only way out of this political instability. the key thing to watch now is

how quickly the government has been set up, who is going to be in it and will it work. >> the presidential spokesman dismissed reports that government troops and allied fighters committed war crimes between april and june of this year. human rights watches, the group documented about 60 unlawful killings of civilians including women and children. rape was widespread and and many were killed. >> what's clear since the outbreak of the war that none of the interventions by the international community, the u.n. the africa union have succeeded in bringing a halt to

atrocityies being committed against civilians. many are raped many are killed and many have been displaced. there are three things that we're pushing for that we believe will make a real difference. arms embargo sanctions against those responsible for the crime. and a process that will bring those responsible for crime to justice. there is no doubt for us that this is just fueling a cycle of violence and further violence that will not end until such time as those responsible are brought to justice. >> they say the u.n. is already investigating those claims.

will continue to be a destabilizing force but his perception in iraq is likely to be very different. iraq and iran are very close and have been since the 2003 invasion. the two countries are also working very closely together against the threat post from the islamic state in iraq and the levant group. but again there are sectarian concerns in iraq, and mr. carter, no doubt will reconfirm the commitment to the region and, indeed, his commitment to israel, saudi arabia qatar and jordan. here this deal is a good thing and could possibly bring some calm to the unrest that we've seen over the years. >> u.s. secretary of state john kerry will appear before u.s. law make necessary washington. >> this is a day that we've been looking forward to because we

heavy ammunition, and they have access on the ground where they can launch attacks on the other cities. the challenges are that deep humanitarian crisis on the ground. and >> with the international airport being open again. it seems like a small thing but perhaps it is another step towards change. >> it is definitely changing and as i said this will allow more access the houthis and

saleh forces are still on the outskirts of the city. >> there seems to be a worry but as the houthis withdraw there that perhaps the civilians could be targeted. >> you're right unfortunately this war does not seem to be ending any time soon. there are the vast majority of land are under houthi and saleh control. there is still fighting in across yemen. the significant importance the pro government forces accomplish anything since march this year. >> another big challenge, of course, is moving the central bank. how can that happen?

>> well, the government has announceed that they've been able to flee from sanaa that they would move the central bank from yemen. they are receiving more funds to run their operations, of course, because there is a block candidate happening block--blockade going on in the country where they don't have access to ups supports and weapons. >> thank you very much. now a memorial service has been held in section for sandra bland. the black woman was found dead in a jail cell three days after she was pulled over for not using her indicator. newly release video added to the you controversy.
