least three police officers were injured when a police station was bombed meanwhile, in the southeast side of the country a pkk road side bomb killed three police officers. turkey has been bombing pkk targets in iraq in tandem with air strikes against i.s.i.l. in syria. bernard smith is in istanbul with the latest. >> reporter: chased down to a back street of the u.s. cons lal in istanbul, a woman who opened fire on the building refuses to surrender. i did it for my party. her party is the extreme left wing and antiamerican revolutionary people's front.

dhkpc. in 2013, the dhkpc said it was against a suicide bombing in ankara. now they're behind this attack. >> i saw this woman running and someone from a apartment threw a chair at the woman from the balcony so the woman shot at the bol coin. balcony. >> several civilians and police officers were wounded. then as forensic teams searched the scene, two opened fire on them. some police were killed in that shootout. violence in southeastern turkey. four police officers were killed by a road side bomb and orocket fired on a helicopter. attacks blamed on the separatist

pkk. carried out attacks on the positions of pkk and i.s.i.l. security forces have arrested hundreds of people suspected of beings members of banned organizations. the turkish government code has repeatedly said it faced threats from a variety of sources, not just i.s.i.l. bernard smith, al jazeera, istanbul. 300 u.s. personnel arrived at incirlik air base t to contie the fight against i.s.i.l. the base is seen as having a major tactical advantage over launching fighters from the gulf. the mission there is not as simple as defeating i.s.i.l.

there are political complications including managing the tensions between ankara acheanc ankaraand the curds. rosalyn jordan has the story. >> more going on than the coalition efforts to defeat i.s.i.l. >> the americans want to work with ypg, the kurdish group in syria and the turks are attacking that group because they don't want to it extend. >> the turks long standing goal of not allowing the kurds to gain their own country, i.s.i.l. inside syria. but they didn't object to kurdish ypg fighters going after

syria until late may. ankara considered that a threat to its security and cut a deal with the u.s. to create an i.s.i.l.-free zone west of the euphrates. part of the deal, the zone is also to remain kurd-free. the other complicated factor, turkish forces have been going after the outlawed group pkk because of recent attacks of the pkk inside turkey. there are concerns of a legitimate threat of the psks inside syria and thus jeopardize the coalition's mission. that fear is unfounded. >> and the turks have made it clear themselves that certainly inside syria they're focused on counteri.s.i.l. activities. >> while the u.s. says it is not interested in giving any freedom to another, bigger plans the

challenge for the u.s. is keeping both focused on the immediate fight against i.s.i.l. rosalyn jordan, al jazeera, the state department. >> the curds are the world's largest minority people who do not have a home state. more than 30 million of them are spread around the globe. but they're mostly concentrated in turkey, iran, iraq and syria. all of those countries oppose independent kurdistan. in iraq, more than 5,000 kurds live in a an autonomous area in

turkey as many as 15 million curds represent about a fifth thereafter country's population. an armed group of the turkish kurds the pkk has also fought i.s.i.l. so if a thars simple. that's simple. and rights for kurds. so even though the group is loosely allied with the coalition in fighting i.s.i.l, the u.s. in europe has designated the pkk which has marxist origination as a an organization of ypg has already accused the turks of attacking them. >> joining us now to help unscramble some of this very complicated picture is douglas olivant, future of war senior fellow at the new american

foundation, also the director of the iraq services at the national security council at both the bush and obama administrations. george w. bush and president obama. the revolutionary people's liberation party claim responsibility for the attack on the consulate. exactly who are they and what could possibly be their motivation? >> well this is an old line marxist group. i think it formerly formed this group in 1994 but has deep roots in the marxist period of the '60s and '70 pps we can think of this as the turkish cousin of the red brigade, similar marxist groups. very, very opposed to turkish membership in nato. >> and in league with their

turkish brothers and sisters? >> yes and no. actually, as your piece pointed out, the pkk has deep marxist roots and these two groups have cooperated in the past. it is always very complicated. in fact we are hearing one report that one of these women who fired on the american consulate named an attack earlier that was on the pkk by i.s.i.s, evidently blaming the turkish government for not being hard enough on i.s.i.s. and the americans being aligned with the turks. very complicated logic. >> relying on kurdish boots on theround. how could the ufts square that circle, succeed with that

conflict between two allied forces? >> that's the complicated part of managing this coalition is all the people in this coalition, not just the curds and not just the turks, have their own equities. the easiest way to point this out is to look at the saudis and the iranians. the saudis are opposed to i.s.i.l, the iranians are opposed to i.s.i.l, and the saudis don't like the iranians and the irannians don't like the saudis. they have their own interests, they have a very long geopolitical squabble or can existential fight going on. >> how do you deal with players who are at each other's throats?

>> the word is very delicately. you have to always be aware of everyone's equities and what's going on. the united states has been very vested in the kurds. particularly the ypg kurds as a ground force we can work with. we have open media sources that ypg kurds are directly calling in u.s. air strikes. but as you pointed out the turks are concerned about the kurds carving out a turkish kurdistan and for that matter, some of the sunni arabs are concerned about fighting i.s.i.l. so it just gets very, very complicated and the united states will just have to continue to manage everyone's equities and realize that not all the allies have the same interests. >> let's talk about this latest military move, getting access to

incirlik air base, what effect might that have on the fight against i.s.i.l? >> the united states has really wanted access to this air base. undisclosed locations that are i'm told about a thousand miles away. but now that we have planes, f-16s landed in incirlik yesterday it's only 200 or 300 miles to get to where the fighting is. now rather than flying a very, very long distance and having to find your target, essentially having to turn around and go back, now they will have to -- have time to look for another. however high their altitude is, loiter for a little bit, let drones or other intelligence assets find another target and attack that instead. this has the potential of exponentially increasing the

effectiveness of the air campaign. >> thank you. >> i.s.i.l. is claiming responsibility for two explosions that killed at least two people. diyalla profns. mohammed jamjoom has the story. >> two killed and two wounded in deadly attacks close to the city of baquba. attacks happened on predominantly shia populationed areas. i.s.i.l. also took responsibility for a similar attack that happened close to the same area also in baqubba in which, medical personnel told us this is a devastating attack one in the town of canaan and one, a desert are rating security situation, iraqi security forces stretched very thin, trying to

fight i.s.i.l, especially the anbar offensive that began just a couple of weeks back. much needed reforms to try restore basic services like electricity like clean water like air conditioning. this is a blazingly hot summer that is going on in iraq right now. many people, thousands of people have been taking to the streets several times the ba in the pas. mobilizing, marching, telling the government they must get their act together and fight corruption. it is expected on tuesday parliament will meet, they may pass the directions that were given by the prime minister here, haider al-abadi, to fight corruption but much needs to be seen by the iraqi people to make sure that the government is doing as much as they can to deliver on the promises they have vowd to the iraq vowed to .

it is a country that is considered to be in crisis and many people want both the security situation and the situation at large for society here to improve. >> that was mohammed jamjoom reporting from baghdad. from iraq to egypt, a blast there killed four people today. four victims were policemen. a bomb squad was able to defuse a second device in the area, a group emerged last year and has been targeting security forces in and around the capital and it was another violent day in afghanistan after a car bombing killed at least five people. the explosion there happened just outside the encumbrance to the country's main airport in kabul. jennifer glasse has more. >> reporter: the taliban car bomb exploded at the busy civilian entrance to kabul airport. the target was likely a military

convoy athat was traveling by but as always, civilians were injured. 55 killed, hundreds injured in three attacks in kabul in one of the most violent attacks in the capital in years. the police academy and the largest a truck bomb blew up outside military intelligence headquarters. another the government believes it was supposed to explode near the ministry of defense and the presidential palace. civilian casualties are at record high with nearly 5,000 killed in the first half of this year. military casualties are more than double that in the same period. recent peace talks with the taliban had appeared close to a break through but a second round has been cancelled after the taliban announced the death of its leader mullah omar last

week. parties are split on who should succeed him. recent attacks were calculated. >> they want to increase the pressure on the government and by increasing the pressure they expect that they will get more concession from president ghani but they perhaps miscalculate. >> after monday's attacks, president ashraf ghani took a hard line. >> translator: the incidents in the past two months in general and particularly the incidents in recent days prove that suicide bombers are using bombs are still active in this country. >> reporter: president says the pakistani president noaa noz

sharif has promised to look into the incident. coming up, what japan after the fukushima melt down. plus a community demands answers as a sex abuse scandal rocks pakistan. the only way to get better is to challenge yourself,

and that's what we're doing at xfinity. we are challenging ourselves to improve every aspect of your experience. and this includes our commitment to being on time. every time. that's why if we're ever late for an appointment, we'll credit your account $20. it's our promise to you. we're doing everything we can to give you the best experience possible. because we should t into your life. not the other way around.

>> in context, it is tuesday morning in japan and officials are expected to start a controversial nuclear reactor. it's been the first time the reactor has been used since the fukushima melt down. meanwhile, hundreds of residents are protesting the move. demonstrators say the decision is being driven by financial interests but electric power which owns the plant says they have added stricter safety rules if tuesday's restart goes according to plan, the reactor,

actually two, could be generating electricity by the end of the week. joining me is james acton. co-director of the nuclear program at carnegie endowment for nuclear peace. exactly how ready is the sendai reactor? >> well, i think that the new japanese regulator has done a great job ensuring this reactor is being ready to restarted. i don't claim that the japanese regulatory system is perfect or any regulator world wied is perfect and any source including nuclear power is completely safe. but i think i have service that the nuclear reactor is ready to be restarted. >> how have things been like

with japan dependent on oil and gas imports? >> right. there hasn't been a nuclear reactor operating in japan since january 2013. japan has managed to keep the lights on but that's come at a significant cost. there's been a huge cost in oil and gas imports. and those have been priced, passed on to the consumers in many areas with japanese electricity rates now about 30% above where they were before the fukushima accident at least in some areas. >> so can you tell me this: if japan has had outrageous, probably if you look at their utility bills, outrageous cost, compared that to the cost japan occurred from the fukushima nuclear incident, didn't that cost a whole lot more and will be for decades to come? >> the fukushima accident was

and will be incredibly expensive, absolutely. and i think that explains a large part of still why the japanese public as a whole is very skeptical about nuclear power. going forward in the japanese government's cost estimates they've now started to do things like price the possibility of a future accident into their estimate of the cost of nuclear power. as i say, the improvements in the regulatory system should reduce the cost associated with nuclear power. but -- or rather should reduce the possibilitien -- should reduce the cost associated with an accident. but again, there is a big picture here. pumping carbon into the atmosphere has huge long term costs associated with it. generating electricity, there is no risk freeway to do it. >> couldn't japan look to the sea for help, noncarbon nonnuclear means of power generation?

how possible is that going forward. >> yes, renewables are not -- this is really not my area of expertise but renewables are not terribly developed in japan. japan probably should be investing more than it currently is in renewables. we need every form of low carbon electricity and that includes nuclear just as much as it includes solar and possibly things like waive tidal power though those have proven very expensive in the past. >> we are looking at the sendai reactor going online. there's two of them aren't there? >> there's four units at sendai, 4 will start in a couple of weeks or pos blie month or two. >> where is it to get japan back to formerly fukushima levels of

nuclear reaction? >> it won't. 50 reactors japan had before the fukushima accident. i would be pretty surprised if we saw as many as say 30 back into operation within the next decade. this is going to be a long and slow process and many reactors will never reopen. indeed a number of them have already been scrapped. >> thank you very much, mr. james acton, telling us about plans to reopen the sendai reactors in japan. we are now to live pictures outside sendai, that nuclear reactor reopening in japan. protests are there saying there's no certainty the reactor will be safe.

of iran being able to recognize that what's happening in syria for example is leading to extremism that threatens their own state and not just the united states. >> today 29 leading american scientists including six nobel laureates sent president obama a letter, they call the deal innovative and stringent. a decision is expected in the case of jason rezaian, who has been detained for over a year. during his final closed door hearing today, outside the court his mother read a statement defending her son. >> he's paying the price of the suspicion, the animosity and the paranoia between the two countries for more than 37

years. >> rezaian's employer at the washington post has called the trial a farce. >> held in evan prison in solitary confinement. he and his journalist wife were arrested in 2014. all but rezaian were released. he has been appealing for his release. >> every day you continue to hold him in prison is a dark day for his family and for iran. >> rezaian was born in california and holds dual iranian and u.s. citizenship. joined the washington post as its tehran correspondent, rezaian's family says he has faced many health problems, and rezaian's imprisonment is called an abotto abomination.

>> a disgraceful violation of human rights. >> the u.s. has applied to united nations to help secure his release. almost 450,000 people have signed an online petition, urging press freedom with the hashtag, free jason. black tie dinner in april president obama spoke about vez rezaian'sism prisonment. >> we will not rest until we bring him home to his family. >> still, the obama administration failed to make rezaian's release or that of three other americans held in iran part of a recently secured agreement to limit iran's nuclear program. the white house maintains that subject will be raised separately. >> they continue to poke us in the eye and continue to spit in

our face. it would just be ludicrous and outrageous for us to have a deal with iran the that doesn't include the bringing home of our hostages. >> that has what's happened. alexis o'bryan, al jazeera. >> hundreds of children allegedly violated, videos of the sexual abuse either sold or used to blackmail the victims' families. local authorities accused of being compli come replies compl.

>> well, for ngos i think they need to be working with the haitian government ... ... to go around for example ... ... 90% of the schools in haiti are private schools. many of them through ngos. so we need ... ... system in haiti's ... ... private is not necessarily the answer. privatization of the water is not necessarily the answer, but working with the government but on the other hand you need a government that is responsive and can take control of ngos and of international government moneys. otherwise what has happened is that international government moneys and knowings have been controlling the government and that's not good for the government at all. thank you for joining us on al jazeera america. dealing with its own financial problems, greece is also trying
