5:04 pm
seeing engagement between the turkish military and isil. what is the significance? >> the significance is this is the first time the turkish military engages militarily with the islamic state. this is highly significant in that what we're seeing is turkey is being dragged intoed quagmire in syria and it is spilling over the border into turkey itself. >> do you think it's under purchase from the u.s. >> the u.s. is putting enormous pressure on turkey to take additional measures to stop the flow of fighters, arms, as well as money through turkey into northern syria. also there are reports now coming out of turkey that there's an agreement in principle for u.s. military aircraft to use the southern bails to target the islamic state in syria. >> we heard from our correspondent there talking to lots of kurdish people saying

5:06 pm
he needs flexibility to try to balance the competing interests and objectives to effectively deal with the instability in syria. had turkey had a strategy up until now or had they been responding to the its vents. >> turkey had one clear objective that is the -- that is regime change in damascus, the removal of bashar al assad from power. his resilience and durability in power has pretty much undermind this objective and we see now that turkey is scrambling for some kind of coherent policy to deal with the really growing instability, volatility and uncertainty that is facing on its border with syria. >> how do you see things developing in the short term. >> i think that the instability will grow, turkey will be increasingly dragged into the conflict in syria.

5:09 pm
trained troops to the area. >> u.s. secretary of state john kerry has delivered a furious defense of the ran nuclear deal, testifying before congress. he said that reject of the agreement would give tehran a green light to swiftly accelerate its atomic ambitions trying to convince skeptical politicians that the benefits of the deal designed to rein in iran's nuclear program in return for sanctions relief. the president has rebuked hard line critics of the deal in this country, saying they should be congratulating iran's negotiators for their achievements. let's hear a little more of what joe biden has been dig in congress. >> if the u.s. congress moves to unilaterally reject that was agreed to in vienna, the result will be the united states of america walking away from every one of the restrictions that we have achieved, and a great big
5:10 pm
green light for iran to double the pace of its uranium enrichment, proceed full speed ahead with a heavy water reactor, install new and more efficient centrifuges and all without the unprecedented inspection and transparency measures that we have secured. everything that we have prevented will then start taking place, and all the volunteer role backs of their program will be undone. >> for more only, let's go live to rosalyn jordan in washington d.c. are these arguments proving per swaysi? >> well to the republicans on the foreign relations committee object thursday, the arguments were not per swaysi. in fact, they rather mocked the secretary of state, as well as his counterparts from the departments of energy and treasury that the deal that was negotiated between the p5 plus one and iran somehow is actually
5:11 pm
going to achieve the goal of keeping iran from developing a nuclear weapons arsenal. they say at best it's only a kick the can down the road to use the cliche, about 10-15 years dependenting which part of the deal you're looking at in terms of iran being able to aquite enough uranium or equipment in order to pros and then's that uranium in nuke warheads. they also suggested that perhaps the u.s. was a little too interested in trying to belt a deal and may have empowered iran to continue carrying out actions that are listed on the state sponsor of terrorism list, such as supporting hamas or hezbollah or supporting the regime in syria. the rape yep say they are much more concerned about developing
5:12 pm
their economy. they are trying to become a nuclear power and that is why we have negotiated this deal. there wasn't much persuading of the republicans sitting on that panel. >> what about the side of the dentist, are they important in my? >> the democratic party is gyp credibly important in this discussion because there is already speculation here in washington that when the 60 day review period ends in mid september that there will then be a push to create legislation calling on the jg to basically disavow this negotiated deal to walk away from the deal. if that were to happen, the president barack obama has already said he would veto it. what it comes down to now is this question of the override. you need two thirds of the numbers in both the house of
5:13 pm
representatives and here in the senate to vote affirmatively to override, to reject the president's veto. without those numbers of democratic let me laters in both chambers it would be very difficult for that override to happen, because even though the republicans hold control of both chambers, they don't hold that with it thirds majority, so certainly what you see happening along with the discussion about this deal is also the underlying lobbying effort to try to make certain that at least the president can hold members of his own party together. of course 60 days is a long time. >> joining me live from washington d.c., thank you. >> for more, we're joined by winning journalist and author. thank you for joining us on the program. what do you think about what rosalyn is saying there. do you think these are the right
5:14 pm
arguments about being per spacive? there's another argument in iran. >> the ministers carry wise and loose with technical arguments. the republicans dealing politically having the elections in mind next year. my feeling is that the orgments will go through that republicans have nothing to loose because at the end of the day they've got a fantastic opportunity to show that the president and democrats are incapable of running good foreign policies. i think we are going to hear on both sides in iran as well as america, the opponents of the will will be as vociferous as possible. >> what about performance of the deal with iran itself? there is a slightly longer window for it to be agreed. >> yes but at the same time, i think at the moment, they are fairly quiet except some
5:15 pm
newspaper says this is not good because we have given in too much therefore mr. rouhani -- the parliament has relegated their power to the national security council. people are already thinking about the economic benefit that they can gain from this deal. >> is part of the basic problem here that perhaps in the u.s., or maybe the other way around, too, that iran is still seen as part of that old fashioned axis of evil and there's still that kind of villainous rivalry.
5:16 pm
>> absolutely. iran has been portrayed at evil in america with the association of are terrific and so forth and america associated with the great satan in iran. the pro israeli lobby will try to paint iran as black as possible as they have dom man stations in new york today. i think it will take time. there was a survey saying some sort of out of service for the americans who knew about the deal. 40% are against the deal. that's why president obama and his team are working hard in order to activate their party within the electorate. >> do you also agree with john kerry p.m. he says if we don't see this deal through, we will have wasted all of this time. we won't have made progress.
5:17 pm
do you agree with that? >> i think so. the iranians, the hard line among them will try to renegotiate the whole thing. it will be out of control. i think this is the best opportunity, therefore it's already gone through the united nations. some were angry why did you pass it through the united nations before coming to us, therefore i think the deal is lass more done. they want pop began da and publicity for the cause inside iran as well as in america. >> let's hope it does go the solution pi. thank you for joining us. coming up later in the news hour calling on muslims to recognize their britishness. >> ♪ >> we meet the chinese girls making serious money from on line chas rooms. >> the semifinals of north and
5:18 pm
central america. >> republican presidential hopeful donald trump arrived at the border of mexico and the accident. he accused immigrants as criminals. controversy follows him wherever he goes. what's he trying to achieve? >> >> well, at the moment, he's trying to get as much publicity as possible and basically the media is following him wherever he goes, despite this visit lasted less than four hours. he's taken off on his private
5:19 pm
jet after talking about the dangers of going to the borders despite this being one of the safest towns in the united states. the ones we've talked to in downtown laredo are fairly disgusted with the comments he's made thus far. he came to make a point about illegal immigration. he has some supporters here. he was invited by a union who represents border guards and they withdrew their invitation before it got here, but nevertheless, he did come and make his point. i'm not sure who showed him armed the border itself, but no matter what happens with donald trump at the moment, he has got this amazing event with his campaign. if you look at the initial republican candidates, someone like michelle back mapp is a similar position, she eventually additional powered. the question for donald trump is will he be able to keep the momentum going.
5:20 pm
as long as he makes outrageous statements, that will crib to grow. donald trump indicated if the republican party establishment doesn't get behind him he may run at a third party candidate which may ultimately damage the republican party. >> are we talking about small pockets of people who feel that he's saying things out loud that wouldn't them belong in polite conversation? >> i think that's probably true. i mean, the people i've spoken to that like him say look, he's honest he says what's on his mind. he's not a politician. he's anti washington, anti establishment. let's listen to one of the things donald trump had take his here. >> hillary is the worst look, easily she's the worth asks in the history of our country. she's going to be beaten and i'm

5:22 pm
paying attention to somebody who is a billionaire businessman and reality t.v. star. he's also vehemently attacking his republican opponents which is destructive to the party's chance of winning in 2016. many rivals are hitting back hard on the comments he's making, but the big question for donald trump and his campaign is can he keep this momentum and mental going and will that core group of supporters continue to grow and ultimately keep with him in mind as their candidate as we approach the 2016 presidential election. >> live from laredo, thank you. >> in burundi, two have fallen victim to what some describe as political motivated murders. it is feared there will be more violence as people await the result of tuesday's presidential election. viewers may find some of the images in the report disturbing.

5:28 pm
people have par sites if they're ill and you want mosquitoes to stop transmitting, with strategies such as sleeping under in sect side treatment bug nets. we have to have effective insecticides to get rid of the moss keith toes and we are worried about resistance in mosquitoes. >> it's a major cause of death among children are parts of africa. resistance to the front line treatment which has been increasing in southeast asia could be repeated in sub sahara nation. >> the death rate from malaria is very high already despite the availability of nextive drugs, it's already high, so if the drugs are not working and there is no replacement drug handy, then it's going to be a disaster. >> that disaster needn't happen

5:34 pm
>> it is a minor move forward that is completely unsatisfactory. we will not stop fighting, as it's part of a larger struggle against the construction freeze. we think the announcement of new units is a good move forward but it's minor and to be honest, it's just meant to appease us. >> some say netanyahu is bowing to settler pressure but those who document policy say the notion of a construction freeze is wrong. >> we did not see any settlement activity in the last year, actually, the beginning of 2015, so an increase in construction on the ground, we see that this policy is destroying the possibility for a two-state solution and peace in this air. >> that's what palestinians say too, that settlement construction is one of the biggest obstacles to achieves a palestinian state. there are around 350,000
5:35 pm
settlers in the cowped west bank and 300,000 here. the israel government has said international pressure slowed down construction. whether that is true or not the issue is making things difficult for the prime minister. >> he knows that he personally, his credibility and israel are vulnerable in the international arena as never before. if the ice under his feet were any thinner he'd be walking on water and he's oh afraid if he opens occupy the settler flood gates, the celings going to cave in on him. he's never been so vulnerable domestically, because every neurotic member of his coalition can bring him down. >> this latest announcement will do little to convince them that netanyahu's government is serious about returning to negotiations. al jazeera in occupied east jerusalem. >> israeli forces shot dead an

5:40 pm
an astronomer. just why is this quite so exciting? >> it is exciting because this planet is different from the others that have been already discovered and this is a candidate filmed to be a planet. they need to be concerned by ground base telescopes and this is the case now. this particular planet is smaller than the other ones that have been found and it is the one that is not only the planet, but the orbital characteristics of the planet and the characteristic of the star itself made the whole system very similar to the system between the sun and the earth in the way of the amount of energy that this planet gets from the star it's traveling armed the sup and the planet is more or less the same distance from the
5:41 pm
star. we have a planet now which is probably rocky we still don't know. it is very likely that it will be rocky in which case, it has the conditions from the temperature point of view, it has the conditions to have liquid water on the surface which is one of the main prerequisites for life. >> how do we figure out the characteristics, is that based on modeling? >> we only nope the size and orbital parameters. there are more study that is need to come later on. we don't know the malls of the planet, therefore the density but from the size and way it is, we can assume still we don't know but can assume that this rocky planet, if it was bigger, because all other planets have been more or less in the conditions, but they are bigger from the earth. >> why is it so important to
5:42 pm
gather this information? >> the mission was conceived to investigate solar system in this particular area of the consolation as we saw. it was looking exactly at each part of the sky to see which once they blink and which once are going to help our planet, with a high degree of precision. we know there are billions of solar systems in our galaxy alone. we need to find the ones that have planets. we need to know which planets are in the condition that have a solid surface and have liquid water on the surface because then, we have almost a candidate for a planet that they may have life and all the other discoveries will follow to find evidence for that life. >> how is the temperature of a star that is that far away, how do they work that out? >> the temperature, it is easy.
5:43 pm
>> if you say so, i will you. >> relatively easy, because the way you calculate or estimate the temperature of a star is simply the color. you do a kind of technique called color photometry. the sun is g.2 star, about 2,000 degrees centigrade on the surface. just because of the color. blue stars are hotter than 12,000 degrees, orange star, red star will be cooler, 4,000 degrees, this is between 6,000 degrees, which is the case of this star. >> fascinating, thank you very much for joining us. >> my lakeshore. >> on line chat rooms have become an increasing by popular
