6:01 am
surreal we visit a theme park with a dark political message we begin in macedonia, thousands dropped in a town on the boarder between greece and macedonia, many fleeing the war in syria, some from other parts of the world, and looking for better opportunities. jonah hull is there on the greek side of the border. >> there's no indication whether anyone will be let in. there was one point where a few hundred, vulnerable people were allowed to pass through. let me show you the area where the bottle neck formed.
6:02 am
and the railway line between greece on that side and macedonia. now the border is marked by racer wire. holding these people back, as they arrived en route more and more people by the hour making their way up, hoping to go through macedonia, and on into the end zone of the european union. i'll tell you there's a shift apping as we speak on the ground. large numbers of syrians gathered and moved back. we'll turn the camera around. a large crowd of people. these are exclusively syrians. the reason they made the move is because they want to the separate themselves from the other nationals. the iraqis and others as well,
6:03 am
and what they say is that all of them, the nationalities claim to be syrian, because they have the most valid claim. they are refugees, they are fleeing civil war, and others are economic migrants. the syrian set up their own group, and expect to be dealt with appropriately. there's no sign of that at the moment. >> joining you wills, a psych -- joining us is psychologist with doctors without borders. talk to us, first of all, about the kind of psychological state of mind of people and the trauma that they are going through. they've been through terrible turmoil and are fleeing conditions in their own country. >> this is one of the worst
6:04 am
situations. the numbers of people have embarrassed. these are people fleeing from war, and these are something that we all need to urnds. people in their home countries, victims of bombing attacks. victims of war. they are here under these conditions. which is something that can aggravate the existing fame coming the countries. they are people visited by the police in a way that is not acceptedable. it is something that needs to be asewered for them. >> i know this is not your area of expertise, can you give us an idea of physical injuries people
6:05 am
suffer. we were reporting they were hit with stun grenades by police on the macedonian side of this. are there any serious injuries to people. >> yes. well, our team has been here for some months now providing support in the area. there's a certain number of people here. medical needs are high. it is something that we can not cover. only yesterday the medical doctor saul 100 patients here. there were people injured. this happened with the police. there's a lot of people in the hospital, vulnerable cases. pregnant women.
6:06 am
there are people whose psychological state is not a good foundation here. there's those under dramatic and their actions aggravating these situations. it is hard for people to keep on in these conditions, from their journey and to be here at the moment as you see the conditions yes, it's almost like an increasingly desperate situation. what would you say. you gave a long list of problems there. what would you say to the immediate need of people now, and what would you call on in the international community? >> well, the needs on many levels. medical needs. there is supports needed in this
6:07 am
part, of course. as you see, the weather conditions - they are not repping at all at this moment. the non-production here. some organisations here are trying to do their best. people from local community are trying to do their best. but i don't know. it's a capacity of the people here. >> i appreciate you taking time to speak to us. from medecins sans frontieres a group of locals, along with foreign residents living on the greek island of cos formedal charity to help some of the refugees arriving there. the group providing food and clothing to the syrian refugees in may. the charity relied on donations from local people and businesses. since then, as the number of refugees grew.

6:09 am
we promised, following the line of south korea, if they had not stopped the broadcast. seems north and south korea were looking for a way out of that. half an hour ago we had confirmation that they had begun. what is considered is the seniority of the people including the military official. as well as that. we have the national security advisor in south korea. both close to the leaders of the country and the men, dealing with inter-korean talks. there's seniority in the room. the question is can they find
6:10 am
common ground. >> south korea made it clear they'd broadcast the messages until north korea admitted it was responsible for a landmine blast in which two south korean soldiers were injured. they fabricated that entire thing, denying responsibility, arguing that it should cease and be dismantled today. trying to find a way through that. those two opposed positions will be difficult. >> what about the situation on the border. what is happening there? >> very quiet. the deadline from 5:30. depending on the time zones passed, and we had the south korean delegation. earlier the south korean military, according to the
6:11 am
newsagency, detecting movements, lined up against the loud speaker systems, later, after that. we had west and seen aircrafts. the situation now different. still a lot of evacuation orders in force. 50,000 on the north korean side have been evacuated. they've reported near the seen border. let's talk about this with alison evans, a senior analyst for the asian pacific region at ihs economics, and she joins us via skype from york in the u.k. thank you for being with us. first of all, what do you think is going on, as the clock ticks down on the deadline, the south, to remove the loud speakers. do you think that the north
6:12 am
could back up the threats? >> i think that the threat from north korea are nothing new. again 48 hours across the dfc towards the loud speakers. they said the important part is it's an opportunity to de-escalate the situation. a lot of this rhetoric coming from north korea is for domestic instruction. deflecting attention from the problems at home. gi truth to that. >> the message is quite chromed. the important thing to recognise. it may seem a strange trigger
6:13 am
for attention. north korea views this assist psych logical warfare, it's important to come to an agreement. >> we have been down this road before, tensions from time to time. is there something particular about this that you see this time around? >> yes, there is. the important thing to note is often after shots going across the northern limit, we don't often see shells across the dmg. it's normally fighters. what we saw on thursday, with shelves going across the land border on both sides was a change in the previous sense, and it came at a time when there's heightened tensions anyway, from the north and south korea, they hold the annual
6:14 am
military exercises good to get your perspective on this, alison evans, joining us from york in the u.k. thanks for your time a group of americans travelling through europe have become unlikely heroes after overpowering an armed man on a train in france. the gunman fired a shot, wounding one person before being tackled to the ground. two of the men were off duty u.s. servicemen. we have this report. >> it was suggested he had an ak-47 assault rifle and other weapons. you. >> they went 10 meters to get the guy. we didn't know.

6:17 am
military operations from logistics, finance. his position in i.s.i.l.'s chain of command was confirmed by the white house, which released this statement. this man, was an i.s.i.l. council member and as a senior deputy member, was a primary coordinator for large amounts of weapons, explosives, vehicles and people between iraq and syria. the death will adversely impact i.s.i.l.'s operations, given that the influence in relation to logistics, media. he was killed as he travelled in a vehicle with another operative who also died. this is not the first time the u.s. claimed to have killed him. he was reported dead in an attack in 2014 as well. a former officer under saddam
6:18 am
hussein, who served in the u.s., he played an instrumental roll in the capture of mosul. his growth is a blow to i.s.i.l. the group should be prepared for event utilities. >> i.s.i.l. is a secretive organization. intelligence indicates that group power is not centralized. many were leaders of al qaeda and iraq. it proved a weakness. i.s.i.l. leaders learnt from that experience. it created a system that gives leaders flexibility. operations are not there if officials are killed. it's been over a year. they are entrenched in mosul. controlling all aspects. there are those that believe despite the death, there's no
6:19 am
long-term strategy. the challenge is who are we backing. that's a lot. players on the same page. >> in iraq, iranian-backed shia militias are leading the fight. opposition to some have increased sectarian tensions. the reconciliation allowed i.s.i.l. to capture another capital in may. a council offensive made little progress. it may be a short-term setback. but i.s.i.l., requiring a political solution in iraq and syria, where i.s.i.l. controls significant territory joining us now to talk about significance of the strike is a military analyst and former u.s. thank you for being with us.
6:20 am
based on what has been reported about this, this appears to have been a targeted attack, it would have been based on intelligence that they had. how certain can they be that they have the right guy? >> certainly. taking you back to 17 may, we went in with delta force on the ground. attacked the forces. >> this is special forces. >> up on the ground. confirming death. we went in and confirmed death. this time we are getting intelligence reports from the ground that he is dead. we had reports in november that he was dead. he's moved up the chain of command and became more important. i'm trying to stick up for the number two guy. everyone is saying the number two. we don't know who he was. were you reporting he's the number two behind baghdadi. he's been around. number two, i'm not signing up for. >> is it there an idea of how
6:21 am
many senior i.s.i.l. leaders there are. we are talking about one person, but he could easily bereplaced. >> it's one step up. >> it's better for the u.s. they are making organizational structure. al qaeda was shadowy and moving around. the guys wanted to go to ground, run cities, and structure and do their disas ardly deeds. they center to have an organization. the u.s. can chart. making one through 100. we deal with a deck of cards. every soldiers got a deck of cards. every soldiers knew who was one through 52. weir trying to figure out the u.s. coalition, the one through 200 this time around. >> it's been reported that the leadership structure is
6:22 am
detralized. it's questions about how much control that this had across the operation. who is the guy. we saw the lead in report. the former military, they were the guys that when we went in. you are in the bathurst party, you can't be part of the government, pushing it aside. >> it feeds the family, it's a masculine world. he's a valuable heeder. the iraqi government do not tick him up. he was bathurst. no bath in the new government. this is a guy that pleads out of that, and becomes a strong leader.
6:23 am
seems he was a strong leader from mosul to syria, he's a big guy the battle goes on. it's noting it to celebrate. if i was a colonel i'd go back to the troops and say we got a good guy. we got more to go. the worse thing i can do is go back and say we've got the number two guys, our guys were let down. >> picking up on that, finally you talk about a battle going on. it's one thing to go after this group with force, but it's something else to go off the root causes of this, much of the analysis of how a group like i.s.i.l. was formed. they were shut out of the political process by the iraqi leadership in baghdad. what is done to address that site of it. you are right. they were pushed out.
6:24 am
it's a mass coolin world. that's what wins this. not picking off targets. celebrating every three months, we have to get baghdad involved. that's a political matter. i'm looking at it from a soldiers's point of view. >> thank you for your thoughts. >> thank you very much. >> now in iraq, staying in iraq, thousands of protesters are on the streets of the capital baghdad, and the subcity demanding the follow up of its promise of reforms. it's calling for the dissual use of parliament. it announced an anticorruption drive. >> international aid group doctors without borders is call on the factions to stop fighting in civilian areas saying civilons were killed in a 24
