calling for a new commitment by all parties to protect civilians from harm. it's too late for the family of this man, trying to cope with the loss of a brother and son we'll bring in jennifer glass to tell us about the figures what they say about the conflict of the war in afghanistan. >> well i think i can tell you how serious the conflicts is the worst security situation we have had in recent years. the statistics averaging out to 27 civilians a day, the first six months of the year killed or injured by fighting ground fighting and engagements the biggest cause of killing with improvised explosive devices. it's not just civilians in this fighting year. afghan security forces twice as many, have been killed or injured in the first six months of the year. 11,000 of them. it's been a deadly year the first year that afghan security

forces are on their own without n.a.t.o. and we have seen heavy fighting in the south and the east. taliban strongholds, and heavy fighting in the north, where the taliban spring offensive is in april and fighting continues. >> what will be done to limit the casualties. the united nations, before they released the report gave it to all parties of the conflict. the afghan security force, the international security forces and the taliban. they have been calling on them all robustly says the special representative today. rob uptly to put into place measures to mitigate strategies. they talk about it publicly. it's the indiscriminate use of weapons and suicide bombings causing the numbers to be high remaining high. 1% last year but record numbers, 5,000 in the first

six months. they are calling on all the parties not only to say they want civilian casualties, but to do something about it. >> thank you. jennifer glasse reporting from kabul more than 1,000 gathered at the u.n. relief and works headquarters in jordan protesting against the closure of schools for palestinian refugees. workers and refugees came from across the country. they were saying they ran out of funds and might have to cancel classes in the middle east. close to half a million should be affected. many of those are in gaza. the u.n. has 2,000 schools with 25,000 students. in the occupied west banks, close to 100 schools will have to close their doors 69 operating in leb nan and in the u.n. 172 schools, teaching 115,000 refugees.

let's cross to london and speak to their spokesman. thank you for being with us can you tell us what the message is that is sent.>> anger. quite simply anger and outrage that 500,000 children are being potentially denied the right to education. palestinians value education and it's a passport to dignity. we cannot deny them that passport at a time when extremist groups are recruiting. to have 500,000 children who should be in u.n. schools, is dangerous. this was alluded to in a statement made by the secretary-general, who warned of the security consequences if it is that donor community does not come up with 101 million in the next few days such a they can pay the 22,000.

>> why the funding shortfall now. many pledged and are not delivering? >> there are - there are many reasons. first of all the number of refugees continues to grow year on year, which is the case with all refugees where there's an unresolved political plight. secondly the situation in which it is becoming complex and complicated. there was a war in gaza a war in syria, an occupation in the wank are, making armed services more expensive. there's greater food security and other needs are increasing because the refugees are more vul nirable. numbers are increasing the aid that people need increasing. also we see increased demand around the world. nepal, ukraine, there's a fresh crisis there's a concatanation of reasons. we arrive at the point where there's an unprecedented deficit. we have to fill it because the

palestinians cannot be denied their rights. to them it's a passport to dignity. >> you say if you don't get the money you need by the middle of this month, you will be closing the education services for palestinian refugee children? >> that is the decision which our commissioner general will be surveyed with regrettably, we hope that the donor community, particularly after last night, the secretary-general ban ki-moon sent out an appeal to all member states a special report on the financial circumstances. we cannot deny 500,000 children the right to education at a time when extremist groups are recruiting. it's unthinkable. >> a lot of people are saying there's no reason to reduce the level of surface, and the u.n. central fund must intervene to cover the deficit. what do you say to that? >> those funds do not exist. coffers are empty. we need to pay 22,000 teachers.

they'll need a salary without 101 million, we have no money to pay them. we have no choice. the schools will be delayed if we cannot find money. >> thank you for speaking to us from london. >> my pleasure. >> libya's state prosecutor wants to identify guards caught on camera apparently former dictator. he is accused of murder or other crimes. it was posted a week after his elder brother was sentenced to death. he was committed of war crimes. >> a government investigation has begun in guatemala after a video showing soldiers beating two teenagers in a street went viral. the army said the teenager was linked to gangs. there has been a military presence on the streets since the president announced a crackdown on violent crime in

2010. david mercer has more. >> reporter: they are images that shocked guatemala. soldiers savagely beating two young men, 80km west of the guatemala city. the soldiers asked the adolescence why they were running and warned them this is how they were trained. the video went viral in guatemala, after surfacing over the weekend, and has called into question the military's role in helping to police the country. guatemala human rights workers show the video with a clear abuse of power. police protection has been requested for the young men and their families. >> using violence against violence is not the way to resolve things, that's why there are laws. there are procedures and laws that need to be respected, and human rights need to be respected by all team. >> the department capital - people were shaken by the video.

maria core says the soldiers acted like drunks fighting in the streets, rather than government authorities. >> i felt their pain inside me. i have children. it makes me think what would i do if something like this happened to them. it's wrong. they were doing it in fun. >> reporter: street sellers like sanchez were victims of extortion. rumours that they may have been part of a gang has not hardened his opinion. >> this is not the correct way to treat a person. we all have our rights. even if they are delinquent, they should be judged according to the law. this is not the way to resolve anything while the people we spoke to here say they condemn the violence, comment on social media show some agree with the soldiers' actions here in a country with high murder rates, in the world,

an iron fists approach to crime it's a popular one. >> it was the promise of law and order that brought the retired general out, and back to power in 2012. but for a country recovering from a brutal 36 year war, many view the army with suspicion. >> why the military identified the soldiers and say they are continuing their investigations, pictures like these will be hard to forget more to come on the al jazeera newshour including pakistan's supreme court approves military courts where civilians can be sentenced to death two passenger trains derail on flooded tracks in central india. an update on casualty figures. and in sport - it's a year until the rio olympics. how presentations are going for the world's biggest sporting

event. first, we take you to iraq where 15 iraqi soldiers have been killed in a suicide attack believed to be carried out by i.s.i.l. sources saying that a bomb went off in a village north of ramadi. 10 soldiers were injured in the attack. crossing over to the iraqi capital to talk about that particular attack but another series of attacks in ramadi. >> yes, that's right. two attacks to tell you about in ramadi in the last several hours. the one that you mentioned, which was i.s.i.l. car bombing, that the configuration of military units in that attack the suicide bomber exploded in the vehicle. 15 iraqi soldiers killed 10 wounded. about an hour or so before that in southern ramadi there was another attack. this one foiled another car

bomber, suicide car bomber according to officials. it was foiled the bomb went off, none of the soldiers targeted were injured or killed. in addition to those two attacks in ramadi underscoring how tough the battle against iraqi forces is right now, you have a strike that we heard about a few minutes back an iraqi air strike targetting i.s.i.l. positions east of fallujah. this happened a couple of hours ago in that attack. nine i.s.i.l. fighters were killed two armoured vehicles were taken out. a lot of the activity in iraq highlighting how tough the battle is here that is it waged by not just iraqi security forces, but coalition partners in trying to clear anbar province, trying to clear the areas of i.s.i.l. fighters as the iraqi government tells me they are promising to do. >> seeing that they retake a

ramadi quickly doesn't seem to happen according to what they are saying. why is that what do they plan to do about it? >> it's a very good point. when it was announced two weeks ago that the iraqi government the military and coalition partners planned to take back ramadi and anbar from i.s.i.l. within a matter of days there was a lot of skepticism. there were many questions about the wherewithal to wage the fight in as quick a manner as they pledged to do. a few weeks since the self-imposed deadline the promise has not been taken back. neither has fallujah many wondered why. there has been officials coming out on tv repeatedly stating that i.s.i.l. is using human shields, hiding behind human shields and burying their equipment in civilian areas,

that the government wants to minimise civilian casualties. that said that claim not taken seriously here as the government would like is to be because there is so much else about readiness, the preparedness. a lot of people are blaming a lack of readiness for security forces on the fact that it takes so long. whether there's propaganda or the logistics of the battle on the ground ramadi fallujah the fact of the matter is it's a tough battle even with coalition forces supporting the iraqi forces. this is something many thought would take a long time and is bearing out to be the true point. it will take a long time it's a fight that the government is engaged in. the fact of the matter is i.s.i.l. is a tough target. clearing the areas. very, very difficult. >> reporting from baghdad. thank you the supreme court in pakistan upheld the establishment of controversial military courts, meaning that

civilians can be tried and sentenced by the military courts. this is after an attack on a school in peshawar last year that killed 150 people. critics were saying they violate human rights. death sentences can be carried out. and hear cases for the next two years. human rights activists, thank you for joining us on al jazeera. your government set up a military court as necessary, saying it was demesry because civilians were too intimidated to convict militants. you don't agree with that statement? >> no of course i don't agree with that. because so far the basic people they disappear. they are not alleged for any crime. they have never been produced before in a court of law. first they have to bring them before a court of law.

they have one, two, three, four many laws since 2008. but they were never implemented before charging these people or bringing about a trial of these people. >> the military courts how many will be structured what sort of process from what you know or understand. what process will the civilian government go through to transfer the patients to the military ernm will - it's in charge of the interior ministry. the interior ministry has account and all the database of all the disappeared people. those who are in turn prisoners in the tribal areas. it will be up to the interior ministry how they transfer the cases in turn for prisoners, to the military course.

and already they were - before the decision many of them were transferred. and even death sentences were awarded. but there was a stay by the supreme court decision since the court was not - had not decided by that time do you have access to the courts? will you, and how much information is going to be accessible. >> it will be a totally secret court proceeding. we will not have any access. in spite of so many laws,ment people are being -- laws the people are being picked up. because of the constitutional amendment, many of these detainees are alleged prisoners, will not have the human lights. the amendment which is that according to the article 10 of

the constitution everyone has a right to fair trial. they will not have the facility or they will not have the privilege of being a human. so we are afraid that like that in army court, in secretly they will be given - awarded death sentences or life imprisonment and there'll be no one to defend them - no lawyers, no family. and their attendances will be awarded by nonjudicial people who are not from legal frat ernalty. they'll be military people. >> we'll have to leave it there. thank you for joining us from islamabad two members of india's bored of security force have been killed, and several others injured in an ambush. a gunman fired on a convoy of soldiers near kashmir, near the disputed border. one gunman was killed two others cap steward.

rescue team search for survivors trapped in the wreckage of two planes 27 have been confirmed dead. 300 were rescued. they were travelling in opposite direction gs derailing within minutes of each other. they were crossing a bridge hit by flash floods and some carriages fell into the sworn river. we have this update delhi. >> reporter: railway officials say they are convinced flash flooding caused the floods. this is the monsoon season heavy rains pounded that area. >> i drain passed the area earlier, and that was enough to

destabilize the rain. critics say that is all that hammed. half a doze in dozens of railway incidents happen every year. people are killed. the critics say nothing happens except in investigations promises and conversations with the family. there are thousands of kilometres of new tracks. unmanned crossings that need to be upgraded. until the deficiencies are addressed, they'll beat problems in the railway systems and be more and more deaths every year. >> whel get a check on the weather in india and cross to rob. reasoning for heavy rain that we saw in the country? >> it appears to go well. a tropical cyclone, across on the bay of bengal. the satellite, for example, if you look at it for the last 24 hours it's nice and bright. there's discrete sells to the

north. the second forms after that both of those could produce heavily rain in the area while the trains were derailed. typically, if you see the measurement, you can repeat that to the north. the general area could have had up to 400mm in the last few days. another consequence of what potentially is a pretty wet period, not india but further east is what is happening in myanmar. this is where it was filmed. they are in myanmar. in the last few days it's widespread fliding, and a consequence of monsoon rains, down stram, causing flooding. they'll become the story of the week. it's this typhoon. watch it spin up in the last two days. beautiful eye which defines it so well. it's been up to a category 4. the super typhoon is not as strong as it was. the thing is it's on its way to

were perceived in the south chae re. in a way that you sea a peaceful resolution. the united states wants to encourage and support china developing strong economic partner with the a.s.e.a.n. group. they are conversations continuing behind closed doors. we are expecting more significant statements to be made including how a.s.e.a.n. will deal with a country like iran just coming out of the sanctions, having agreed to a civilian nuclear deal. a.s.e.a.n. needs to know how to work with et united states the u.n., without getting into trouble the israeli prime minister made an appeal to jews in the united states who opposed the nuclear deal with iran. in an online message binyamin netanyahu says the deal risked a catastrophic war in the u.s. kristen saloomey - considers that agreement u.s. president obama and

israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu are battling for the packing of american jews. binyamin netanyahu appealed to them in a web cast arguing that the iran deal was dangerous. >> the deal nation it harder for iran to produce one or two nuclear wep jens in of the short term, but does so at a ter ig price, because the deal makes it easier for iran to build dozens cials hundreds of weapons in a little over a decade. >> reporter: some jewish american groups are among vocal opponents. they've been targetting members of congress who had until immediate september to approve the deal with ads.

here they called out charles schumer, yet to say how he'll vote. members of congress have been under pressure, leaving democratic lawmakers torn between vocal consistent units and loyalty to the president. and loyalty to the president. not all jewish americans are against the deal. some polls suggest the majority favour it. >> outside the jewish center in new york, where families swim and take classes opinions were mixed. >> i don't think it's a good idea to give them all that money. i don't. i'm considering where some of the terrorists came from. i'm not familiar by any means with the entire situation. >> reporter: there were plenty of supporters. >> it's definitely better than nothing. yes. >> this deal is better than nothing. >> give me something better. i don't like it. give me something better. it's 10 years, better than nothing. >> israeli security experts say this agreement is the best existing option... >> the left leaning j street lobbying group is scaling up its own advertising campaign in favour of the deal. president obama has been meeting jewish american groups at the

white house. >> the deal is a strong deal, an historic opportunity, diplomacy is better than war, and i think the deal brings iran under an international framework of monitoring nuclear capabilities. while republicans almost universally opposed the administration on iran, many democrats are watching the lobbying and polls before saying how they'll vote. still ahead on the al jazeera newshour hiroshima cleansed itself of radiation, but it's a battle ground for the survivors. >> and i look at how the latest body scanning technology threatens to upset this district and a rare breakthrough in the footballing relationship between israel and palestine, all the details later in the

coalitoin's dangerou fearing for his life. >> if they find me, or take me, they'll take my parents. >> we knew about that. there was a lot of risk. there is risk working with the u.s. forces. when i started, i never - i never thought that one day the u.s. forces leave afghanistan and leave us behind in 2008 the u.s. congress created the special immigrant visa programme to help iraqis in life-threatening situations come to the united states. in 2009, the program was expanded to include those that assisted the u.s. in afghanistan. >> but the special immigrant visa programme has been mired in delay. the u.s. congress passed legislation requiring the state department to process the application within nine months.

it has not complied. >> this afghan interpreter was captured, tortured and killed by the taleban. he had been waiting four years for the u.s. state department to process the visa. we recognise that it's challenging. >> applications are often left idling for years. >> there are numerous individuals waiting upwards of five years for their special immigrants visas to get interpreted. >> gardener's interpreter applied for his visa in 2011. he's waiting for an answer. >> we have a moral duty to bring him back to the united states because of the work he did for us. >> the state department has >> the state department has 4,000 visas to issue afghans like john, and requested an additional 5,000 more, but that will take an act. u.s. congress, set to go on its summer recess.

every day. we weren't around to film patients treated. this french charity says doctors treat 40 people a day for injuries. >> every night. it's difficult. the health is not the first - it's not the priority. the priority is to cross. the police have bolstered security around the tunnel entrance fences on bridges have been put up. there are police men on guard. and sometimes helicopters ab spite is 650 hectares with a 22km fence. it's difficult for police and security to control it. that's why they focus on the done 'em. that's why the site is such a flashpoint a place where men and women
