town of sin i can't. now they're hopeful they can defeat the group with the help of their allies. >> the international coalition has been using airstrikes. as a former officer, you need troops on the ground, the americans must intervene with or without permission from the iraqi government. >> but prime minister hyder al abadi disagrees. he said that iraq has no need for foreign ground troops. we did not ask any country to send an ground forces. we'll consider any troops to be an act of aggression.

>> one of the groups accused of abuses is the popular mobile gas station forces mainly shia part of the iraqi army. president obama said he won't authorize airstrikes to sport them. it all goes bac back to the 2003 u.s. invasion of iraq. that's when paul bremer was sent by president bush to iraq. speaking to my colleague, bremer denied allegations. >> i did not disband or destroy the iraqi army. there was not a single member of the iraqi army, that single unit standing to arms on apri april 17th as general has testified himself. the question wasn't to disband. that was a mistake we should never have used that verb.

the way we need it. they recognize the border as a flagrant violation of international law without coordination with the iraqi government. this is an act of aggression against iraq, and without any prior knowledge or concern from the government of iraq. >> meanwhile british defense minister said two typhoon fighter jets successfully hit an oil field in the east of the country. the typhoon bombers arrived on thursday bolstering it's strike for of tornado warplanes. >> the city of homs has been under seen for at least three years. trucks carrying medicine and other provisions entered the

normally they don't prevent them from leaving port. the suggestion is that this is some sort of tit-for-tat action not only for russia delaying a turkish vessel but also the economic sanctions that russia is going to impose on turkey. they're not supposed to kick in untillan 4th but we're hearing reports of cargoes and fruits and vegetables coming back here to turkey. chaz chad police say all the bombers were women, and boko haram are suspected to be behind that attack. a state of emergency is already in place in the region where the armed group carries out frequent attacks. well, three gunmen dressed in police uniforms have been killed in burundi's capital.

out a grenade. they tell that's they had used this today. they do not say where they get their weapons from. >> police have been coming to our neighborhood to arrest and kill us. but at night we go to where they are and fight them. >> what started out as peaceful protest in april, has evolved in armed violence. people have been killed almost every night. and their bodies are left in streets or dumped in trenches. >> they try to negotiate with the government. >> the united nations african union and human rights groups

are concerned about the killings, which they all say has ethnic die mention to them. it's a disturbing trend for those who follow burundi. more people now seem to have weapons. >> if they decide to combine forces the vigilante groups, and the armed more organized armed groups we could find a rebellion that is much more dangerous, much more sophisticated, and 67 more resources to challenge the state. >> the armed men told us they won't give you will until the president steps down. government forces insist that they'll hunt down each one of them, many innocent people are caught in the middle. catherine soi, al jazeera. >> well, jacob the spokesman for the african union. he said that leaders into

burundi need to start talking to each other in order to create peace. they're creating a contingency. the dialogue that the international community is hoping. the low intensity killings continues the african union would not have any other choice. it's important that the dialogue is the solution. if we're going to dialogue later on, why not dialogue now and save lives, the innocent are dying every day.

the beginning. there are proposals for another set of wind turbines just a couple of kilometers away. these types of disputes will almost more commonplace as they find a balance between keeping the integrity of the landscape and the local environment intact and the growing requirement of renewable energy. indeed, wind power provides 3.5% of electricity in france right now. but they plan to triple energy by 2020. it seems this will become a more familiar sight across france. something that communities will have to reconcile. al jazeera, france. >> rains in the southern indian state have eased, and the airport has opened up some place carrying relief supplies. 280 people have died in the flooding, though. this includes 14 patients who died at an intensive care unit

disaster. now the debate is even further in terms of infrastructure across the state. how prepared are facilities in areas when it comes to power. when it comes to communication and water, the very things the essentials that are needed in times of crisis. and this debate is expected to continue for some time yet despite the relief and recovering continuing in the southern state. many at the macedonia with regard have been held for several weeks now. 3,000 people mainly from pakistan, morocco and iran are stuck there because macedonia has a policy of allowing in only refugees from syria, iraq and afghanistan. meanwhile, 2,000 refugees have been rescued in 11 boats. it's the largest number of
