>> closing guantanamo bay. a white house plan to shut down the guantanamo bay prison hits a road block over justice department objections to the transfer of high-risk detainees on american soil a safety measure. we have been clear from the podium and elsewhere saying there's no zone, safe haven. we are not talking about that here a disagreement between the u.s. and turkey over a so-called safe free zone inside northern syria to provide air cover tore syrian reb -- for syrian rebels

the bush foreign policy. >> i'm fortunate to have a father and brother that helped to target foreign policy jed bush targets president obama and hillary clinton in a foreign policy speech as we look back at the international outlook of his family, bush 41 and 43 a vibrant community. >> i feel good, proud to be part of this, because the future, my children will see this a giant mural transforms a poor neighbourhood known for bloodshed into a rainbow coloured village, on a hillside this is al jazeera america, i'm randall pinkston. antonio mora is on assignment. tonight there is a report of more obstacles blocking president obama's plan to close

guantanamo bay prison. defense secretary ash carter has been slow to sign off on the transfer of detainees cleared for release. and the justice department is getting in the way of bringing remaining detainees on to u.s. soil. attorneys are again asking a judge to free one prisoner on a hunger strike, a 37-year-old man weighing 75 pounds. we begin the coverage with jamie mcintyre at the pentagon. >> it's one of the first promises the president made. he campaigned on it and raped many times over the past seven years. in 2009 he signed an executive order to close the guantanamo bay detention center as soon as practicable. so far the pentagon has failed to come up with a plan to make it happen. >> reporter: the obama administration promised to offer a concrete plan to spell out how guantanamo bay would be shut down, so congress would lift

restrictions. one idea was to send several dozen of those allegedly dangerous detainees, who the pentagon said cannot be released or sent to other countries to a federal prison in illinois, with 1500 empty cells. as reported by "the washington post", the obama administration forgot former attorney-general eric holder promised the judiciary committee: it's back to the drawing board. >> we obviously strongly support the secretary, the president obama's determination made from his first day of his administration to close guantanamo bay. it's a top priority. it has remained a challenge the administration hoped to get a plan to senate arms services committee this month

before congress recess. officials say it will be next month at the earliest before a proposal goes to the hill. mccain promises to work with president obama to close guantanamo, but only if they can provide an alternative to address congressional concerns. it's not just the ban of moving prisoners, it's the congressional requirement that the defense secretary sign off on any transfers to other countries. essentially certifying that the resettled detainees no longer pose a risk to the u.s. it was a source of tension between former defense secretary chuck hagel and the white house last year. hagel was reluctant to give personal assurance to something is that was unknowable. >> ash carter is taking a cove approach -- conservative approach. six years after an order was signed to close guantanamo bay within a year, the number of

detainees has been cut from 240 so 118. half cleared for release, most not facing charges. the state department says it's working full-time to find countries that will take guantanamo prisoners, many were cleared for release, but have nowhere to go. the white house is still sear searching for a prison in the u.s., willing to accept the two dozen detainees judged too dangerous to be rereleased. >> our guest represents one of the detainees. why has he been there and for how long in guantanamo bay. >> like most of the men in guantanamo bay now, he has been there for 13.5 years. he's been on hunger strike for 8.5 years, and his weight declined to 74.5 pounds.

so... >> he has been cleared for release. when did that happen? >> roughly five years ago by six agencies, joint chiefs of staff, director of national intelligence, justice, homeland security, all agents that the u.s. citizens relied on to keep america safe said he can leave. >> why is he not allowed to leave? >> that question is playing out in washington d.c. i filed a motion for his release, and asked the government not to oppose it, to speed the release. it appears from public sources that the department of defense dug in its heels and defiantly blocked a commonsense solution. >> i read your powerful article in rolling stones, in which you talk about what your client was subjected to, including force-feedings, let me read something you wrote.

"he finds redemption, i dell them i don't want -- tell them i don't want food. the provocation is never ending. you can cut me to pieces i will not break or stop, except on one or two conditions - i die or am free to return to my family", he is determined not to eat and therefore to die if he's not released. >> his determined protest of his detention without charge or trial to reflect back to the government the horror of putting someone in a cage and not telling them how orwhy they'll stay there. the department of defense works out how much liquid is pumped into his stomach. the medical experts say 74.5 pounds is a weight that is incompatible with human life. it's probably enough to overwhelm him. we asked the government to very

simple - not to contest his petition, concede and allow a judge to stamp on order for his release and get him to medical safety. the department of defense seems to block that process. >> you talk about being present what when he pulled his shirt up. can you describe what you saw? >> it was shocking, it was one of the most horrifying things i have seen. his body is utterly ravished by the sets of star vision. >> you could see the bones? >> 74.5 pounds is the weight you expect to see in a 10-year-old american boy. according to the government, that's 56% of his body weight. medical experts said that level

of physical degradation, he is on the brink. for there to be inaction, foot stall, reflection of defense of the detention practices, would say to me everything i need to know about the commitment to close guantanamo. we'll know the answer between now and friday. >> you have pegsed the court for his belief. friday the justice department will block it or stand aside. we'll stand out. snoop they are the outcomes. >> thank you for being with us. visiting your client and others in detention. >> saudi arabia and russia continue to disagree over the fate of bashar al-assad. foreign ministers from both countries met to discuss the fight against i.s.i.l. and the coalition, saudi arabia rejected a call to include bashar al-assad.

russia is pushing for bashar al-assad to be part of the alliance. rory challands has more. >> the language in the press conference was heavy on terms like possibility and phrases continuing discussion, little about policy. there is much that these countries disagree on, perhaps on issue that broadly is on the same page. we had saudi arabia and russia talked about how they might collaborate with security forces. we heard about a coalition by which the two countries get together to comeback i.s.i.l. not much, or in what form either of the proposals might take. this is because more separates saudi arabia and russia than unifies them. the future of bashar al-assad in syria. saudi arabia says there can be no future for bashar al-assad in

the syrian political framework. it is, obviously, an ally of russia. standing by him for years. >> rory challands reporting from moscow turkey vowed today to keep up its assault against kurdish fighters known as the p.k.k. in the last day turkish war planes launched a fresh wave of attacks with 17 strikes on p.k.k. targets near the iraqi border. ankara is fighting the p.k.k. and helping the u.s. in a fight against i.s.i.l. recep tayyip erdogan spoke about the fight on tuesday. >> translation: our fight will continue until terrorist organizations stop posing a threat against our country. until guns point at our state and people are buried. i'd like to put an emphasis here. stopping gun fire is not enough. they should be laid down and buried. the fight will continue until

not one terrorist is left within the borders. >> the u.s. denied that it reached an agreement with turkey over safe zones for syrian rebels in northern syria in the battle against i.s.i.l. a mississippi couple is in custody for trying to spend their honeymoon with the islamic state. 20-year-old jadon wrong and 22-year-old mohammed, his father an imam in mississippi, were charged with conspiring and trying to aid a foreign terrorist organization. according to officials they planned to travel to syria to join the group. they were arrested saturday while trying to join a fight. if convicted they face up to 20 years imprisonment. let's take you to a live event in california, republican hopeful jed bush speaking at the

ronald reagan library. >>..proud to be ronald reagan's vice president. [ clapping ] >> that turned into friendship. and the better my dad got to know ronald reagan, the more he admired and loved him. on the way here i made a call to mrs. regan to thank her for this honour and let her know that many, many americans love her very much. [ clapping ] >> it's amazing. seven elections have come and gone since the regan name was on the ballot. but that name and the qualities brought to mind are the standard. a leader of clarity and resolve, not given to angry words, president regan took command of

event, rebuilt strength and moved the world towards peace. strategically and morally he conceded nothing to the enemies. believing that the cold war could be one. not just endlessly managed. >> and in an end put an end to the age of conflict behind us. they don't always give out peace prizes for that. peace is what ronald reagan left behind. that is the legacy of a good and great man. [ clapping ] >> in our time as well, it is strength and will and clarity of purpose that will make all the difference. good things happen when america is engaged with friends and allies, alert to danger, resolved to deal with deaths before they become kat as strofies. we see how each of those is in

our security. when it counted most, we are missing. to grasp what the next president will face, we have to look candidly at policies that have gone wrong. above all, what we used to call the war on terror. despite efforts by the administration to avoid calling it by name, one of the greatest threats comes from radical islamic terrorists. the terrorists are pszed. >> the terrorists are possessed by the same violent ideology that gave us 9/11, and they are on the offensive and gaining ground. it is not true and was wishful thinking to claim that the tied of wars was receding.

even notice nationst facing of the west, finding recruits in the united states. jihad today it exists as a place. i.s.i.s., a genocidal terrorist army controls large parts of two countries, and is gaining influence in others. and yet it fell into this nightmare. as the administration by its own administration has no strategy to stop it. they are pursuing a minimalist approach of incremental escalation. it's a graping u.s. involved, without strategic results, the worst of both worlds. a year of strikes and other half measures made little discernible

difference in the total of the i.s.i.l. danger. a halting effort emboldened the terrorists. fallujah, ramadi and other cities are under the black flag of i.s.i.s. inside the cal fate, none believers are forced to convert, and those that do not expect horrible fate. a hatred is reserved for christians and other minorities, in the middle east, we are witnessing a mass persecution and exodus of the followers. all across the region, nor is allowance made for the appearance of islam or zeal for i.s.i.s., feeling mass graves with innocent muslims, or potential recruits ready for violence can follow it on social

media. it's a time when mass murderers have twitter handles, facebook instagram pages, using them to add glamour to their exploits. we need to work with the owners of these companies to give thought on how to address the problems. among followers, i.s.i.l. is hailed as a strong horse, a cleanser and restorer of islam. that word is getting out. on the western bay social media. it explains the spread of the i.s.i.s. in the middle east and beyond, including thousands recruited from europe, and 100 from america, giving us i.s.i.s. terrorists with western passports. the islamic state and its followers are an asymmetric threat needing one strike. we are facing an i.s.i.s. and ideology, what it is is, to borrow a phrase, the focus of

evil in the modern world. ... jed bush, republican presidential candidate speaking at the ronald reagan library. spelling out his foreign policy. for more, we are joined by michael shure. >> yes, good evening. it's michael andrew sure, if i'm going to be at ronald reagan wilson library. inside this very serious speech, jed bush is trying to do something that ronald reagan may have done when he talked of the evil empire, his brother george w. bush talked of the access of evil. he's talking about radical islam, and the politics of fear. it's in the republican handbook that works well. he's disanlsing himself not from his brother and father. he's distancing himself from foreign policy in america and is

labelling that that is a political tactic that worked well in the past. >> he's very pointed in criticism of the obama administration policy and will get to former secretary of state hillary clinton later in the speech. >> that's right, he'll talk about obama and clinton, as a team of rivals. they ran against each other in 2008, and that team ended up being a team that did not make peace. they wanted to be history makers, and did not end up being peace makers. that's what he tried to do. appointing hillary clinton the nominee into the speech so he could stand apart from her much and republicans and democrats alike are waiting for jed bush to strike distance between he and his brother. that has not happened. >> thank you as jed bush lays out his strategy, we look at the bush

foreign policies, that of his father and brother, coming up in the next in context segment a rally against constitutional commence in nepal turns into a deadly confrontation with police.

jed bush is giving a key foreign policy address in california attacking the obama administration for leaving iraq too soon. in a major shift from earlier rhetoric jed bush is facing his family's foreign policy doctrine. mike joins us from washington. i guess he's embracing part of it, if he embraces his brother's policy, to some extent, he's

opposing his brother. they weren't always in agreement. >> that's correct,desert storm, overseen any george h bush, at the end of that, saddam hussein invaded kuwait, the bush buildings did not go to baghdad. president bush stumbled when asked if he thought it was a mistake. he hedged. a lot of people thoughts it was the wrong move. most in this country feel it was a mistake. what you are seeing jed bush do as we look at the narrative he's giving at the regan library, he's trying to turn the page, trying to turn the tables and at the same time go against the democratic front runner and do something supporters urged him to do, and that is to attack hillary clinton. >> reporter: this encounter at an event in a town hall meeting

in may crystallized a problem for george gush. >> on the subject of iraq, controversial, knowing what we know now, would you have authorised the invasion. >> i would have, and so would have hillary clinton. >> since the stumbles, bush tried to turn the page, backtracking on the comments. now he's trying to turn the tables, lashing out at hillary clinton, casting became on her as secretary of state under president obama for the collapse of iraq. helle lash out at clinton and president obama for leaving iraq to fend for itself, even though the withdrawal begone under bush's -- began under bush's brother, george w. bush. >> the elimination of iraq is a crucial approach. >> the victory turned out to be a fantasy. and the 2003 invasion is deeply unpopular, even among

republicans. in remarks tonight he'll call for a new offensive against what he calls global jihad. it's the theme of an internet video released by his campaign on tuesday. >> we see it with new threats of barbaric terrorism in the middle east, and home grown terrorism in our own country. >> reporter: bush has been under pressure to attack hillary clinton, who mocked bush campaign slogan right to rise. >> i don't think you can credibly say that everyone has a right to rise, and that you are for phasing out medicare or repealing obama care. >> at this hour american and coalition... >> reporter: bush has been reluctant to criticize his brother and father. in another foreign policy address he tried to put daylight between them. >> i'm my own mans. my views shaped by my own thinking and experiences. now jed bush is doing on

offense, satisfying orders by hitting back at hillary clinton on the one hand jed bush said that he is his own man, and he wants distance between his brother's legacy. it was reported in may that the main middle east advisor was no other than his brother jed bush, and you look at the advisors this year, the bush campaign released the foreign policy advisors, there were 21. 19 of 21 served in bush 41 or bush 43 administrations. >> mike viqueira in washington, thank you a strong warning from the united nations on the crisis in yemen. next - why the civil war there is creating a humanitarian disaster, and american citizens fighting for family treasures seized by fidel castro during the cuban revolution. revolution.

soldiers backing exiled president abd-rabbu mansour hadi launched an attack to recapture a province in central yemen, it would pave the way for abd-rabbu mansour hadi loyalists to advance towards the capital. >> translation: our message to the houthis - you have 48 hours to withdraw from ebb or you will be killed. >> the push north follows a series of games in the south. trying to defeat the rebels, they have gained an edge in southern yemen. they are in control of aden, and other areas. it's a boost for the fighters that were forced from the areas in may, when the houthis backed by soldiers loyal to deposed president swept across southern yemen. >> translation: we managed to claim the city.

it has achieved victory. the popular resistance saved the country from going deep into the unknown. >> reporter: this is the houthis last bastion in the south. the latest gains made by government troops came after months of air strikes led by saudi arabia. recently, saudi arabia and the u.a.e. shipped weapons and vehicles to abd-rabbu mansour hadi and his loyal of the. gulf countries accused them of using it as a proxy it destabilize the region. tiaz is another city where heavy fighting continues. the third largest city in yemen is a crucial battle grounds from yemen's warring factions. if the houthis lose tiaz they will have no option but to retreat north. their stronghold on the border

water in the hospitals. there's a lack of produce. it's difficult. for example, in tiaz, from 21 hospitals, there are only three open in this moment. from 21 - there were 21 hospitals operating. >> six months ago. this happened in the past six months. >> mix on the front lines. we have difficulties on crossing lines. and also we have to run hospitals because of lack of medical matters. public and private hospitals are important. for many of them, they cannot run the hospital.
