it's all about boosting japan. >> the prime minister has announced a stimulus package aimed to trigger growth. women and robots are both part of his plan. the question is, does that plan go far enough? hello it is noon in london. 2:00 p.m. beijing, north of the iraqi capital baghdad after the intense gun battle the group isis claims to have captured the country's biggest oil refinery. in the last few hour, it's reported the iraqis air force has launched air strikes on the nearby down of baiji. the refinery has been under siege ten days with militant as pushed back several times. local tribes will oversee the

complex that provides a third of iraq's refined fuel. the take over is a day after rebels took over crossings with syria and jordan. as the militants continue to tighten their grip on the north and west of the country, u.s. secretary of state john kerry is there for talks with kurdish leaders promising support for iraqis forces in their fight against isis. for the latest on the situation in iraq, let's see this report by jonathan. >> the iraqi government still claims to have control of baiji, the largest oil refinery in the country. but even these videos take african-american iraqi military aircraft released by the government confirm it's been a site of heavy fighting. satellite imagery from the air taken and pictures on the ground

confirm the refinery has been under siege. this morning a government source announced they repelled separate government attacks in the last 24 hours. others report the refinery is in the hands of isis. the secretary of state describes this as a moment of great urgency. today he was in the a autonomous region for talks with leaders. america wants the country to unite to meet the threat posed by isis. >> the government challenge is essential challenge that we face in recent days. the security cooperation between the forces here in the kurdish area have been really critical

to helping to draw a line. >> but it's the security threat more than the politics that's the focus of iraq's leaders. the kurdish militia are taking the fight to isis. much of the nation's military has been in retreat. their volunteers are still signing up to join the iraqi army. >> on the earlier visit here to baghdad, john kerry said the u.s. would continue to supply weapons to the iraqi army. he did not promise american air strikes. with that, that air support it's difficult to see how the iraqi military will hold the isis advance. bbc news baghdad. let's go live to where john kerry is in talks with kurdish leaders. let's start with baiji. if isis has taken control, how strategic a victory is it in

terms of financial importance? >> if it is indeed true as they claim they have taken over, and the government is denying that saying these officials who got it up and running in the next few days and also given the defending forces a pay rise and promotion, so two different narratives going on here. if it has fallen in regular el ha -- in rebel hands as they claim, it would be a significant victory. to win a fight that becomes symbolic because both sides are trying so hard is obviously important. functionally it's important too that sunni rebels have carved out a huge area of iraq which they obviously intend to keep under control whether isis or disgruntled tribal elements or former army officers.

so controlling that vital refinery which refines a large quantity of iraq's products, would be a very important thing for them to do. >> john kerry is pushing for the integrity of iraq to be maintained. what do you make of comments by the president who's talking to that iraq is facing a new reality? >> well, mr. kerry obviously was pointing out from his point of view that the new reality does not include accepting isis should remain in control of a lot of the country. i don't think he meant it that way either. he meant changes have happened which are irreversible such as the change of ownership as it were of mosul and other parts of the country from a sunni point of view not from isis point of view. kurds are against isis. they share a border with isis. they're not happy.

there's been friction. they're not looking for a fight, but they've fought when they had to. they made it clear they'll defend what they regard as kurdish homeland. they are the most cohesive military force in the land. >> jim is live there. thank you very much. just bringing you breaking news coming into us from the british courts in the last couple of moments. a verdict in that long running newspaper hacking trial. the interception of communication phone calls, e-mails and texts. the former editor of what was britain's once best selling newspaper in the world, he also worked for david cameron. he's found guilty of conspiring to hack phones. one other verdict, his fellow defend ent rebecca brooks, one

coventry to meet a man who's son travelled to syria to fight. three young teense, friends, al left home believed to have joined the group isis. their families are in shock. the father of one of the boys, the 18-year-old who's of afghan origin spoke to us exclusively. ali hadn't mentioned the group to his father, but his family is convinced he's joined isis. >> translator: the grief is limitless. every second every minute it's on my mind. >> what is your biggest fear of what might happen to him now that she's in syria? >> translator: anything is possible. it's possible he might take part in fighting, might be killed,

might kill an innocent person. i don't want to blame him for something he hasn't done, but when they return perhaps one day they might make trouble. >> at least two of three teens went to this small local mosque. their parents believe a man here encouraged their sons to go to syria. we've been to the mosque to speak to the man but he refused an interview and denied allegations. the father of one of the other teenagers who traveled with ali, his son hasn't told the family much about activities in syria. they fear he's involved in the fighting and hoping the authorities can secure his return. >> the one hope is government. government media has to help us bring them back. that's it. i can't do like person, can't do nothing. >> these families are united by

grief and say they want their sons back. if you could speak to him now, what would you tell him? >> translator: i've already told him that i'm your father. i know all children make mistakes. you're my son. just come back. return and put an end to the grief of your father, mother, sisters, brothers. >> these three young men are believed to be among 500 britains who have joined the conflict in syria. tracking these fighters is their number one priority, but keeping track of all of them and preventing others from joining the fight will be a difficult task. bbc news. >> stay with us on bbc world news. still to come, journalists around the world stage a silent protest against jailing of three al-jazeera colleagues. we'll talk to the egyptian

you're watching "gmt." let's remind you of breaking news in the past 25 minutes regarding the verdicts of the senior court in britain. the central criminal court regarding the news of the world's phone hacking trial. that is found that the former news of the world editor andy coulson, one of the biggest selling papers before closed down, he's found guilty of conspiring to hack phones with others between 2000-2006. rebekah brooks have been cleared of all charges by the jury. andy coulson both worked for the tabloid newspaper.

interesting andy was the communications director for number ten, for david cameron, until this case started. let's get more with our british correspondent rob watson. just reading out names you realize how senior these media figures were and how serious charges were as well. >> absolutely. this was the great media newspaper trial of the century so far. it's also reminding everyone -- people will be scratching their heads going how does this have to do with 2011. that was a long time ago. all along was a police inquiry leading up to a trial. it's worth bearing in mind this has gone on eight months. i don't think there was doubt the headlines that come from it. andy coulson found guilty.

rebekah brooks close to the prime minister not guilty. true drama. >> she has been cleared of all charges. she's seen here walking along side her racehorse trainer husband charlie brooks. have we had any verdicts on him yet? of course there were numerous defendants in this trial? >> some soft stuff is still comicom -- some of the stuff is still coming in. i'm going to be careful. i think the verdicts are still coming through. it's worth bearing in mind there were all in all 23 different verdicts the jury had to consider. we certainly know the two big ones on the hacking charges. >> just remind us. some of the people facing court have been charged and convicted previously as well haven't they? >> yes, they have. and of course other people pled guilty. it's also worth bearing in mind

andy coulson faces another legal proceeding in scotland. if you like the beginning of the end of what has been an extremely long drama in british media. in a way, what's so extraordinary, one has to pinch one's self. will there was a massive inquiry the way the media conducted itself. particularly the tabloid newspapers. things are still up in the air. we don't have new regulation for british media. >> thank you very much indeed. egypt's president al-sisi says he won't intervene on jail sentences handed down to al-jazeera journalists. it colonels as journalists at the bbc and other agencies held broadcast in london and around the world as well. peter greste who used to work

for the bbc, mohammed fahmy and baher mohamed each received seven year jail terms after being found guilty of spreading false news and aiding the banned muslim brother hood. let's take to the egyptian journalist commentator who's been banned but now returns to her program. thank you for joining us. when you look at the comments of president al-sisi and the fact he's not going to intervene, is that something to be viewed with pride that the judiciary is separate? >> he's trying to send a message to the world that the egyptian judiciary is independent and that a he will not interfere in revoking these verdicts. there were calls on him to pardon these journalists, but he cannot do that until the legal process is exhausted.

so i'm hoping that these journalists will appeal and get a lighter sentence or perhaps be acquitted because then only will justice have been recognized here in egypt. >> we've spoken before. these three are high profile. they're working for an international station. there's been a lot of media coverage. what is it like for ordinary national egyptian journalists trying to reveal and expose stories about the authorities there? >> as i told you before tim, very difficult indeed. this latest verdict sends a chilling message to all egyptian journalists. the state narrative, do not stray from it, otherwise you risk severe punishment. that's the message.

there's zero tolerance. there's watchdogs to hold the government accountable and criticize. >> do we have an idea of how many journalists are in custody at the moment? >> dozens have been detained since the third military takeover of the country. according to the committee for protection of journalist, there are at least 14 journalists behind bars today. just yesterday one more journalist was taken into custody for reporting on sectarian clashes in upper egypt. >> what happens to somebody like you? if these broadcast are being watched by the authorities there, will you get a warning or are you now so out spoken that actually you are perhaps protected from criticizing? >> i wouldn't say protected. no one is protected in today's egypt. i've gotten dozens of threats.

it's a very restrictive atmosphere. i would say worse than previous times. >> what are conditions like for peter greste and the other two? what sort of jail will they be held in? >> they will continue to be held at prison in a very tiny cell. the three of them together not being let out except one hour a day spending 23 hours in that crammed cell together with a tiny window. must be really hard for them. my heart goes out to them. i really hope this comes to an end soon. >> thank you very much for joining us live from cairo. let's return to the world cup and all the action there. brazilians celebrate the host performance last night. they pushed through to the next

phase of the competition. there's still so much more to come as italy faced uruguay and england makes an appearance. ben brown is live from rio. must have been a celebration last night. nervey first half for brazil wasn't it? >> yeah. a few fans here still a little bit nervous about the way brazil are going in this world cup. not entirely convinced they can win it even though they are as well as host they are the favorite. it was crushing 4-1. two goals by that man who's good indeed. there were conversations on this beach they were watching it on the big screen. rio went crazy after the victory. my colleague couldn't resist catching up with fans as they left the stadium talking to them about brazil's victory.

>> the game ended with a 4-1 victory for brazil. they top group a and meet chile in the next round. how happy are you? >> new champion of the world. forget spanish. forget everything. brazil is new champion. brazil rule the world. >> we came back. >> they're going to meet chile in the next round. are you worried? >> chile is good team, yeah. maybe 2 or 3 to 0. >> you can still meet argentina in the final. >> it's not a problem for us. not a problem. >> show the world.

>> we are brazil. >> we are brazil. >> brazil. brazil. brazil. >> now fans going crazy. holding out the prospect of a brazil argentina final. wouldn't that be something? are let me run you through today. four games in all. very busy at moment in the world cup. we've got the final stages of the group stages. we've got england already eliminated at earliest stage in the world cup half a century. they're playing a meaningless game against koecosta rica. italy against uruguay. they have to win if they want to go through. in later kickoffs, japan against

of controversri lanka. wait for it. it's coming for high-rise apartments for rich and famous. sri lanka bids s ts to compete. we ask the question is the social cost too high. hello. the unfolding crisis in iraq is being discussed at a meeting between u.s. secretary of state john kerry and kurdish leaders. isis led rebels have taken over large areas of the country includes claims they have captured iraq's biggest oil refinery in baiji. mr. kerry is holding talks in the northern city of irbil. he promised support for iraqi forces describing isis as a threat to the whole region. a short time ago he spoke to bbc. >> we've set up a joint

operations command. in addition to that we have very significantly increased the intelligence gathering that is taking place here. the president has insisted on doing what our military believes it needs to do in preparation for any contingency. most important to the president, me and all of us is the government formation. if you don't have -- i mean, barring some extension emergency or something that predicates the president makes a decision in regard to any crisis in the world. there must be a government so there can be a strategy going forward. just a strike alone is not going to change the outcome. you need to have a full fledged strategy implemented which is

politically a strategy. there has to be -- there is no military solution. there may be military action, but there has to be a political solution that deals with empowered the people where isis is today to be prepared to take them on. that takes a certain amount of preparation, strategy, implementation. what president obama is trying to do is encourage that process to come together as rapidly as possible because without it, everything else would be wasted. >> u.s. secretary of state john kerry speaking to kim with bbc. parts of the united states are experiencing the worst drought for decades with farmers warning harvest are badly hit. one state, oklahoma has endured persistent drought for years. many are fearing the so called

bust bowl happening again. this is one of the worst affected areas what's known as the oklahoma panhandle. >> a cloud of dust rises over the dry fields of oklahoma. each gust of wind tears away the precious topsoil. year after year this region notorious for extremes of weather have seen far less rain than normal. this is what you get after three and a half years of drought. winds pull the soil away. there is rain nearby but nothing enough to prevent secenes like this. >> the dirt storm has hit. >> the terrifying site of a wall of dust earlier this year where

people had to seek shelter inside. this is the result. thousands of acres of farm land lying in ruins. oklahoma like many states is heading for one of the worst harvests on record. jared stewart and his father show me what should be a field of wheat. >> so what happened to this field? >> we've lost the crop. you can see the residue. we had perfect stands in the fall but didn't get moisture in the spring. it's just died. >> all this rekindled years of the dust bowl in the 1930s. this is seared into national memory. this man lived through that time. he's 101 years old. >> the dust bowl is combination with depression. it caused a lot of people to

leave the country. there was quite a few suicides from it people losing everything they had. >> things are not as desperate now, but the past three and a half years have seen almost as little rain as the 1930s. without it, nothing can grow. watch how wheat plants quickly lose their color, starved of water for a week. a map of soil moisture over the past decade, some areas in red have persistently dried. have temperatures rise, more evaporation mean drier conditions. this is one of the authors of america's new national climate assessment. >> we aren't sure what the droughts will look like. we feel because of the increasing temperature they'll be intensified especially during the summertime. >> this land repeatedly scarred

by drought has seen whole generations leave. the talk now is of learning to cope with what could be tougher times ahead. bbc news, oklahoma. let's get more with david along side me in the studio. it's interesting looking at the shots of the dried out crops and the economic impact. despite advances in technology, why are we still returning to conditions like this from the 1930? >> it's fascinating. since the 30s there was a massive government four try to teach the farmers better techniques. for example, rather than plowing the soil, they actually leave the stubble from the wheat plants in the soil to try to hold it there in case the wind picks up. you see strips of native grasses good at coping with drought. they're designed to table lies everything as well. this drought in oklahoma has gone on and off for three and a half years. it doesn't mean there's been no

rain. there are occasional burst of downpour, but nothing like enough to really moisten the soil. they find themselves in the position where latest techniques and clever systems for rotating crops and that kind of thing is just not quite enough in some areas to cope with the rise in temperatures, drying out of the soils, and excel ratiaccelerati winds. the fields will become dousty ad start to move around. in a time of 24 hour, a field can lose an inch of topsoil. think how precious it is to farm land. it's an extraordinarily vulnerable part of the world. >> briefly, is this all linked to global warning? is that the belief there?

>> no there they say drought in the 30s, again in the 50s -- they're not sure what's going on now. scientists say even if they can't forecast what's going to happen to future rainfall, they're pretty sure things will get warmer. that means more evaporation, means the plants giving off more moichl moisture. it means droughts in the future will be more severe. you're watching "gmt." right. let's stick across the studio and find aaron. what are you up to? >> japan. >> are you kidding? you do listen to me. thanks tim. they call it shinzo abe's road map, a plan to do better business japan.

they included cutting one of the highest corporation tax rates in the world. the aim to get it below 30% gradually over the next few years. we're expecting less bureaucracy and red tape. overtime will end. the foreign trainee program will be extended. abe promised a robotic revolution to boost productivity and off set a shrinking, aging work force. economic reforms are known as the third arrow in abe's plan to get asia's second biggest economy into better shape. let's get more. now the deen of the asian development bank institute joining us live. now thanks for joinings us on the program. you know we've had more reforms and another big announcement. some say there's little detail.

everyone wants to see how reforms are going to be enacted if you will.>> i think this is one of the reasons for aging. the policy cannot do anything about aging population. prime minister abe introduced robot to handle old people. first we have to post product. in japan in the past, it was based on seniority. that does not work because as people become older and older, it has been increased. he's strongly changing that first. >> sorry to interrupt. can i ask you this, one of the

key announcements was the cut in corporation tax. correct me if i'm wrong, the big boss, governor of the bank of japan warned the prime minister not to do that until the government found extra sources or another source of collecting tax, another source of income because the japan huge public debt. you need taxes to pay off that debt. >> yes. there are it would have arguments about cut corporate tax rate. production of tax rate itself does to the encourage in japan. they are lack of demand and foreign demand. that is part of their reason. the other one is japanese corporate tax rate is very high discouraging investment into japan. foreign investment increases in japan to encourage competitiveness. also lack of corporate revenue.

he is concerned about corporate revenue. old people keep on walking. that can encourage revenues for government. i think corporate tax together with reform will be needed. >> all eyes on that. certainly markets will be watching closely. we appreciate your time. thanks for joining us on "gmt." >> thank you very much. okay. there you go. well let's talk about this. since the end of the civil war, sri lanka's capital has changed as what of the government calls beautification of low income areas that are being demolished. we have been to one of the areas called slave island. he sent this report. >> it's a mini sri lanka in the beati

mushrooming in the city. on slave island, here the modest flat of people evicted from slave island like he and his family displaced years ago. he says it's nice old maybes have moved here. they have no payment for their old house. only a small sum towards rent. some human rights campaigners say people are unwillingly forced out. the urban development authority is run by the defense ministry. people do seem to fear protesting. authorities say the move from houses to flats is a natural one. >> the second generation people get use to that situation. it happens in vietnam, happened in singapore. microphone other countries. this is normal social period. >> in a move, the sector has promised to build flats for locals where old houses were next to the new luxury blocks.

that will help to keep something they treasure about slave island. although the architectural heritage and unique atmosphere are passing into history. >> okay. there you go. lots going on. follow me on twitter @bbc aaron. thank you very much indeed aaron. let's remind you of what is coming up in the next few moments. notice anything a bit different here? what do you notice? we'll be speaking to the artist behind these images and how they help women celebrate their bodies. nineteen years ago, we thought, "wow, how is there no way to tell the good from the bad?" so we gave people the power of the review. and now angie's list is revolutionizing local service again. you can easily buy and schedule services from top-rated providers. conveniently stay up to date on progress.

to shapes carefully. to me it sounds a bit -- describe it to me. >> it's the love of looking. it was sigmund freud who said this was the gazing at a female form. men did the looking and women were there to be looked at. >> we've got one of your photographs here. bang, bang, bang. those are western models or -- >> that's a western model yes. that's the professigression i g the beginning of the journey. this started with my insecurity as a teenage woman and insecurities of my body deciding i wanted to address gazes upon the body and find a way to lib

ri ra er rate the design within. >> the actresses daughter says i want to show my nipples on the streets of new york. in other societies, nudity is an issue isn't it? >> negative stigma attach add. how has that changed that allowing women to be naked in front of people? >> my journey started when i went to photograph a friend's wedding. i went to a village and i was inspired by the spirit of people, warmth and generosity. i was fascinated wanting to continue exploring the nation of the gaze on the female body. it was very negative stigma. >> how shy were women? did they refuse? >> it wasn't an option. in particular it's a male led

culture. there was a threat attached to why i was wanted to do this. why would she want to photograph them naked. i decided to get the paint brush out. by offering armor of paint on their body, i found a loophole to get through nudity. >> did that transform their view on nudity in more conservative south american societies. is that something that picks up heritage of body painting for the last thousand years where people adorn themselves to hide that nudity? >> i think so. it was basically you're providing armor, liberating the inner goddess and allowing them to experiment and create beautiful images but feeling they're not completely exposed. i manage to turn the negative stigmas attached. i managed to get women to

celebrate while i was photographing. a woman i photographed said i changed the way she looked at her body. she realized she was beautiful inside and out. >> i've seen exhibits in london. thank you very much for coming. just before we go, the province in central china boasts reminders it's the birth place of the founding father with everything from statues and museums and restaurants and theme parks. in the provincial capital, the latest tourist attraction is a pancake vender who bears an uncanny resemblance to the president. our reporter went to meet him. >> reporter: we are in central china. it's lunchtime. that smells pretty good and looks pretty good. we're not going to eat that. we're not looking for lunch but person making the lunch. when i was on the plane, the attitude was excited about the

latest tourist attraction here and also the people that sold me the map. they've got a president look alike. a man that looks apparently exactly like the president. that's who we're hunting for. he makes the pancakes. look. here's the place. here's the cabbage and meat pancaker himself. this is sensitive for national government. they've been removing videos from social media. interestingly for the president he has a man of the people image that he likes to present. he recently ate in the street restaurant. he sat down and ate with normal people. to be identified with a pancake

maker, in the midst of the anticorruption campaign and strive in governments this is not such a bad thing. i just said, hello president. making him rather embarrassed. wonder whether he's got a presidential message for us or anyone else? so ordinary people, the key thing is to work hard in the view of this man. just going to have a little selfie. this is as close as i'm going to get to the president now i

think. that's lovely. >> the presidential pancake maker. more tomorrow, for now bye bye.
