you're watching "gmt" on bbc world news. our top stories. targeting isis has the group gets closer to baghdad. the iraqi prime minister tells bbc syrian warplanes have been attacking the militants on the syrian iraq border. hi everyone. i'm lucy hockings. european leaders are gathering to mark 100 years since the outbreak of world war i. will meetings will overshadowed over the battle of who will be the next head of the european commission? i'll be reporting live from

the world cup where the german born coach of the united states takes on the native germany. also on the program, aaron is here. barclays back on the block. >> the british bank has been charged with fraud by u.s. regulators. this time for sending from additional investors into a pool of highly sophisticated predators. once again it's all about trader's greed. we're going to look at how pensions funded their bumper paid packets. hello. it is noon in london, 7:00 a.m. washington, 2:00 p.m. in the iraqi capital baghdad where the prime minister nouri maliki has exclusively revealed that syrian fighter jets have bombed sunni rebels on the border between iraq and syria.

the attack on militants was carried out tuesday in the town of al-qaim. mr. maliki said they welcomed the attack on isis is. he welcomed iraq and syria are cooperating over border security. >> translator: the strike earlier inside the syrian side of the border, there was no coordination involved, but we welcome this action. we actually welcome any syrian strike against isis. this group targets iraq and syria. we welcome syrian strike against isis as we welcome syria strike against isis. we didn't make request from syria. they carry out their strikes. we carry out ours. final winners are our two countries. >> we are joined now from baghdad. how important and significant is

it? did syrian fighter jets penetrate iraqi territory? >> reporter: it has been confirmed to us this it entered iraqi territory. he was aware of the air forces carrying out strikes. he said he welcomed any strikes from syria or neighboring countries. he complained in the interview there is no neighbor countries really helping iraq. he said the best of the neighbors is keeping silent and watching while other countries are -- let's say supporting isis logistically with weapons, with money. it was really controversial lines he gave in the interview to me this morning saying basically what happens in mosul has been planned years ago. there's been operations. one of the cities in iraq was

coordinated by neighboring countries. i asked who was plotting, doing all this? he said i can't tell you at the moment because we are going through political process. we don't want to cause problems, but everybody knows if you watch media you can see where all the plot was. on tv media plots were given to them. all these people talking about iraqi government or against us. they all the time appear giving platform widely by media. he also told me the biggest problem with the iraqi militia couldn't defend the city as we expected. he says that concern again is transparency. he added we are in the process to restructure iraqi military at

the moment. the commanders, leaders -- i know all information about them, what they have done, how they done it. at the moment is not the time to reveal it. he was like i say didn't give interview to other national media. nevertheless local media. he said i always like bbc lines in particular. because we waited this interview for a week. at the end of the week he decided to give interview. he said there's process going on, lot of international visitors. he was talking about john kerry and william hague to discuss the same thing as you know. it was a lot of things. main thing he mentioned is he's now in talks with russia to deliver talks.

iraq is in great need of air forces. at the moment americans keep delaying delivering jet fighters. that is issue for them to push back toward their ground where are isis has been winning in iraq for the last two weeks. >> thank you very much indeed. let's talk to director of council for arab. how significant do you think this is for the syrian intervention? >> it's a further escalation on this crisis. it's affecting iraq and syria. with syrian warplanes going on in, we find ourselves in a strange situation in iraq. the united states is backing the maliki regime itself, a sectarian dictatorship that upset huge constituents. in syria, the united states and other allies have been backing for people fighting the assad

regime, dictatorship as well. we're in a curious situation. by intervening like this, the syrian regime is then saying we are fighting together with you against our common enemy. they're putting this in the frame work of being war on terror. of course this is washing their hands of responsibility. the maliki regime. for end responsibility for sectarianization of politics, massive corruption. at the top end you have a violent, brutal conflict that doesn't involve dictatorships. in between, vast majority of iraqis and syrians are frustrated with both. they don't see politics working for them. they don't see governments legitimate or credible. they don't really want these

extremists. >> does it make the need obvious for u.s. air strikes? >> this is making u.s. air strikes harder politically. it means if you have syrian airplanes coming and bombing various positions perhaps inside iraq itself, then do u.s. warplanes go in the same locations? that would be deeply problematic. there would also be the possibility of syrian and american planes coming into similar zones of warfare. >> reports also that drones have been used to target isis as well. is this just another example of a growing access against the sunnis wanting to make sure sectarian lines are going to be drawn very clearly? >> it is because there are forces within the region who have been actively pushing this sectarian narrative. iran is one of them. and these regimes as i said.

it is extremely dangerous. we could see the splitting of iraq factor into defining. the history of those entities is not a successful one. it could be extremely bloody.s . instead of forces being crushed between the twin forces of dictatorship and extremism, we need to find a way of giving them a voice. that's the only way forward of saving countries. it's an extremely tough task right now. perhaps the most challenging and worrying element of this entire crisis the that the international community is not united and really doesn't look as though it has any idea as to what to do to resolve it. >> thank you very much indeed for joining us on the program. much more on that unfolding crisis in iraq on the website.

all the latest news, features and analysis. you can find on that page. now in other news, the search for the missing malaysian plane is to move further south in the indian ocean. australian officials say they believe the plane was certainly on auto pilot when it crashed. the new search area was researchr researched by flight data. the cleric is found not guilty in the jordan capital. he'll remain in custody for a second trial against him. peter greste jailed seven years in egypt has expressed devastation and outrage. he believes this is an attempt

they show a proximation. that's indication of how they're getting behind suarez. the fifa committee is what matters. they're meeting down the road at the hotel. they met last night and couldn't agree on what to do about suarez. we're expecting them to meet again. most people here are saying they think there will be a ban on suarez for that alleged biting incident. really the question is how long that ban will be. they have the probability to ban two years or 24 matches. for example when he was banned for biting at liverpool he got a ten game ban and also a seven match ban. we'll wait and see. >> the u.s. need a win today to get through don't they? >> yeah, it's very finely balanced in group g. the u.s. have a match against germany. they're both on four point at the top of the group.

what makes it particularly interesting this game is that klinsmann, the german coach of the united states is playing germany. that adds spice if you like to the game. in the last u.s. game against portugal, that was a pulsating 2-2 draw. that got enormous audience in the united states. lee james has been down on the cabana here talking to u.s. football fans. >> usa. usa. usa. >> reporter: the united states fans here in brazil are clearly happy about the way their team has been playing. how is your experience so far? >> absolutely amazing. first game was a nail biter. really, really rough. we could still go through. .

>> how do you feel about the way your team has been playing? >> i've been here two months, whole world cup. usa versus brazil the final. >> that's your prediction. what about germany with your coach? >> going to be really tough. german coach, german team. they could have a deal. we'll see. >> who's going to make the difference then? >> i think one our coach. klinsmann has made a huge difference. if dempsey has a big game, we're through. >> they play thursday for a place in the last spot for the world 16 cup. >> they're not only going to be watching on the cabana and i'm sure across the u.s. but even in outer space. we're hearing the american and german astronauts on the space station are going to watch. we don't blame them. here's what one had to say about

his countryman coaching the u.s. team. >> it's interesting to see for me even more so because he's from the state state in germany as i. he grew up almost the same place. in a way, even if u.s. wins, it's still a little bit of a victory for germany. i'm not afraid. we have this little bet going. if u.s. wins these guys draw a u.s. flag on my head. if germany wins, i think these guys need to shave their heads. i'm looking forward to this game. i'm sure it will be fun. >> that's the view from outer space. let me tell you one thing tim which is interesting. on twitter, going around is a letter klinsmann has written. he want this is passed around work places in the united states to get workers to stop working and watch the game on tv.

the let pter goes to whom it ma concern. please make sure your employee is excused from work june 26th. i can assure you this is for an important cause. we need the full support of the nation if we are to advance to the next round. there you are. a sick note signed by klinsmann if you want to get off work in the united states of america today. follow all the action here with me at #bbc world cup. bbc.com/world cup as well. follow me on twitter for important developments on that suarez case. @ben brown bbc. >> can't wait to see pictures on the international space station tomorrow. stay with us on "gmt."

. for the next few hours, european union leaders gatherer in belgium to pay tribute to those that died in the first world war i, 100 years ago. lucy hockings is live for us there now. it could be something of a bad temper ed meeting couldn't it? >> reporter: it could tim. i've been watching preparations in the last hour. the lining of the flags correctly, laying of wreaths as officials come here waiting for european leaders to come for what is expected to be a solemn ceremony. this is the most important common wealth memorial in the world.

names of more than 54,000 british and common wealth soldiers with no names inscribed on the walls. these are names from the royal canadian regimen. many names of canadian soldiers here. the battle canadians remember most took place in france. i went there yesterday to see why this battle is so important to canadians. >> it's here in the trenches at ridge that canadian troops won a evi victory still talked act today. 700,000 visit the site everyday. canadians have stories to tell of ancestors. >> he didn't like his children having wet feet. trying to picture what it would have been like is almost incredible. >> four divisions of the canadians fought together using the tunnels.

>> it would have been more comfortable than messengers. we have two bunk beds here. we probably would have had five or six. men would not have been comfortable in the tunnels but would have been safe, which is more than you say for the poor men above ground. >> france gifted the land to canada and recognition of the sacrifice made by its people. the great war drew in countries from all over the world. 425,000 canadians came here to fight for britain. 60,000 died and are buried in cemeteries like this. for many, this entire site is sacred and battle was heeseen a turning point in the country. >> the battle defined the country itself. it's one of the most interesting battles because it was the first time general curry gave maps, did rehearsals, practiced to

insure it would actually work. it wasn't going in blind. >> for current soldier, a visit is meaningful. these siblings served together in afghanistan. >> it changed our country and how it was seen by the rest of the world. i'd like to think we did that in afghanistan too, maybe just reminded them. first world war we started making a name for ourselves as a country. >> the memorial is now on canada's $20 bills and on passports seen as the place where a nation came of age. >> reporter: very moving experience. tim, we're in interesting territory now. never before has there been a disagreement among states about who will be the next head of the european commission. david cameron is holding firm saying jean claude juncker is

not only the wrong choice but illegitimate choice. he thinks voter want a reformer of the eu. he's up against every of eu leader including angela merkel who says jean claude is a great european and she backs him wholeheartedly. i think peopling to people here, that won't be talked about this evening. lead leader will gather to remember those that died in the war almost 100 years ago. there may be talk about football. you mentioned the u.s. germany game. merkel is thought to be a football fan. other talks may be saved for the meetings in brussels tomorrow. >> thank you very much indeed. it's two and a half months since afghan voted in presidential elections. they're waiting for a i new lead tore take the country forward. election officials delayed the announcing because of fraud

allegations. >> the people of afghanistan may have held second round landmark elections, but they don't know who the president will be. this is the center where the count is going on. ballot blue boxes have the result sheets that have come in from provinces around afghanistan. the polls cards themselves are counted out in the polling stations. what's inside are result sheets which basically tally the number of votes for each polling center. there's more than 6,000 of them. here is the process of sifting through those and finding out which are the clean votes, which are the dirty vote, because of concerns of fraud. away from the mechanics of the street, you can see it's business as usual. when you speak to afghans, they are growing anxious and want to know who the next president will be. with two-thirds of the country

under the age of 25, people say the priority for the next leader has been to be jobs, education and tackling corruption. by the end of this year, most of the foreign troops will will have left with the americans departing finally in 2016. afghanistan going to look a different place to how it's been over the past decade. of course security will continue to be a top priority. you've got to remember although the army and police are growing in strength, there's still a relatively new force. britain has made a commitment to continue paying the salaries of men and women. it's also paying about 180 million pounds for other projects over the years ahead. the thinking is by retaining a footprint here in afghanistan and not abandoning the country all together it will some way to prevent the country from sliding backwards into war.

moment. let's catch up with business. barcla barclays. enough bank accused of being gree greedy. no. the banking giant is facing fraud charges. regulators claim it lied to investors of trading share at the bank. let me break it down and explain. we know these days trading no longer a hub or floor of shouting traders. the majority is done by computers that buy and sell in a split second. shares are not on the public market instead banks operate their own private markets known as dark pools which are servely le -- are less regulated. high frequency traders have

high-tech computers that can buy and sell shares faster than us, faster than traditional investors. this is where barclays apparently went wrong because according to the report, barclays encouraged traditional investors to use their dark pools for trade saying it would be safe from predators and help them avoid high frequency traders on the main markets. but reassuring traditional traders on one hand, barclays was inviting high frequency traders to use that same private market. the big losers indeed. individual investors and our pension funds. listen to. >> the wall street filed charges that barkley clue the dark pool one of the largest in the united states by telling investors they were diving into safe waters when in fact barclays dark pool

was full of predators there by barclays invitation. >> by the time we were talking beginning of june, they were the second largest dark pool offered in the u.s. it looks very much like greed maybe has taken over as part of the process to insure they've improved market share. >> greedy traders and lying banks. that's not the first time we've heard all of this. why do dark pools exist at all. that's the question. i put to our business editor a little earlier. >> this is an issue about how clients can best trade. the light markets, that's the new york stock exchange, london stock exchange. there there are two issues. one is price is expensive to trade on the light market. if a big business starts to buy ibm shares, the minute it goes many the market to buy those shares, lots of other traders pile in.

the share price starts going up. they're thinking, do i want to tell the market i'm interested in buying ibm. that's where the dark pool comes in. these are non transparent markets operated by the banks themselves for their own clients. but there are two types of pools. there are dark pools which have high frequency traders in them and what are called safe pools which don't have high frequency traders in them. what has happened here, barclay said they ran a safe pool, but it was a dark pool with traders in them. let's head to san francisco where google has kicked off the annual conference, software developers. the search giant says around a billion of us, a billion people are now using devices running the android operating system. in the future, it hopes it won't be just smart phones and tablets that use the android. watch, televisions, even our cars.

north american technology correspondent richard taylor is at the event. actually we're going to our guru technology expert on our program. what are we talking about, watches, tvs, car, homes et cetera. where do we start in let's start with watches. the android means what? >> you get your messages on air, use it as your pass word. watching fitness and controlling your home. i think it's all a bit gimmicky. smart phones and tablets have played out. they want something new. you'll have to plug it in and charge everyday. that's not much fun. >> typically people use phones for watches. i mengtioned cars. what is google up to? what does google want? >> it wants us, our data. it knows everything we do online. it monitors searches and

e-mails. now it's the real world, all the devices and places we go are on the internet too. for example, if you got a car with pay google car platform, then it can tell you where to go. if things get tricky and it knows you have to get to the airport, it will say go to the train station instead. you'll get there quicker. google gets money by selling information to the train station. >> i'm trying to get this in my head. at the end of the day, google's only goal is simply just to get more info on us? it seems we're the product. >> google wants everything we do so it has the automatic easy way to do it. at the same time, sell us to people needing our services. that's what it wants to know. >> is this part of what iot, internet of things?

>> it is. this is the next big thing that's going to happen in five years. everything we see, touch and do is known to the internet. all these spotting new ways to use information and turning out insights to what we do so other people make money from it. that's how that works out. >> a smart move by google all these announcements do you think? >> i think it is. it is compared to apple who is confident on the hardware and making shiny hardware. google is not interested in that. it says future is in data. that's going to be interesting to follow. >> we'll keep our eyes on it and stay tuned. thank you. tech expert he is indeed. i want to quickly flash up the markets. i want to show barclays, one of the biggest losers in europe today. another charge for the bank down almost 6%. going to be keeping our eyes on

democrat democraticily elected government. our southeast asia correspondent was granted an interview and he asked if allegations were true. >> translator: what you heard is not true because the general always says the thai army belongs to all people, not just one group. when asked what happened during the the past six months t army tried for reconciliation. we tried to get the two sides to have dialogue. we had no intention of taking sides against any party. >> when was the coup planned? you can't do things at the last minute. there must have been quite a lot of planning beforehand? >> translator: so far as i know

there was no advance planning. if it were planned that would be illegitimate. if you're wondering why this happened so smoothly that was because forces were already deployed in the city. when we declared martial law, there were already peace force in place in the area. >> why have you felt it necessary to detain so many people even people making very small protests that have been taken away. 450 have been summoned, 170 plus have been arrested. it's much harsher than the last time the military intervened. >> translator: the places people are kept are not really like places of detention. they're like guest houses. there are no barbed wire fences. we have shown these places to human rights groups. we broadcast pictures on national the stations. we showed interviews with the summoned people. everyone was satisfied with

this. what you hear is not true because as the general always says, the military belongs to all thai people, not just one group. >> but this isn't just about inviting people in. people are charged with very heavy crimes. people that have spoken their views face charges of unrest, crimes with many years in prison. that's creating a climate of fear. >> translator: you've received incorrect information. none of the summoned people are charged with serious charges. we charge them with disobeying orders. when these reach court, they'll be processed in a normal way. you can have a lawyer even in military court. many are on bail like the education minister. this is a normal procedure, nothing unusually strict.

>> the nation was unhappy when the actor released the film. the reaction was nothing compared to how the president is reacting. he has promised retaliation if the film is released. we report now from washington. >> to american producers it's a light hearted film. to the north korean government it's an act of war. >> kim jong-un people believe anything he tells them. >> this is a news team with the chance to interview the north korean president. when the cia finds out it asks them to assassinate them. >> you want know kill kim

jong-un ? >> the early reviews in jong-un are not two thumbs down but a finger above the nuclear button. it is called reckless u.s. proactive insanity, a gust of hatred and rage. some think the korean is self-satirizing enough. his photo opportunities produce a string of viral moments. the diplomatic fall out from this could have serious implications. north korea presently is holding three americans in custody. now the gust of hatred and rage has created a cloud of free global publicity. north korea's state propaganda machine has outdone hollywood's most skillful publicists. bbc news washington. >> looks interesting doesn't it? everyone wants perfect

pictures on their wedding day. celebrities can be especially demanding. how did a man of liverpool get the job of photographing kanye west and kim kardashian? we sent rick to find out. >> reporter: everybody thinking they're a photographer now days. seems like you can't do anything without getting a picture, sharing it online and putting it everywhere. how about the photo you took at the show case of the decade? i basically got a camera christmas because i was doing art. i used to go to a lot of concerts and would see photographers. i was like i wonder how they get to do that? i asked one how he got to do it. he said the band management let me in to take pictures. been doing it years now.

>> he one night spotted a young singer. >> when her career was starting out, i thought this is cool because i really like her music. i got in touch with her management and asked to take pictures. from that she wanted me to be on the team. it would be cool if we have a photographer. i guess i was kind of sought from the start. >> his work got around. someone passed his name to kim kardashian. next thing he knows he's called to be her wedding photographer. >> it's been surreal. didn't have time to think about it. i thought it was cool. it's another job for me. i was like okay, this is a big one. got to focus. >> i know you can't talk a lot about the wedding, but one photo does stand out doesn't it?

the photo you took is the most liked instagram photo of all time. that's pretty cool. >> it's kind of hard to believe. i look at it and look at the amount of people that have liked it. i'm like i took that. >> when you look at it now, how does it make you feel? >> it's cool seeing all those numbers. >> rick is there reporting. it has been more than three years sense the protests engulfed on the island. mass demonstrations led by the majority was quickly suppressed. there's been low level unrest. street clashes are frequent. little progress has been made. implementation has been slow. let's speak to president of the center for human rights, one of the most prominent activists in the country. he served two years in jail. he joins us from paris.

what exactly were you jailed for? >> well at first i was jailed for taking part in peaceful protests all according to peaceful protest temperatures. twice i was jailed for making the military interior. the case was by the minister. the second was about criticizing the prime minister who comes from the same family as well. the third and forth sentence were about my taking part in the peaceful process. >> what sort of conditions did you suffer in jail? >> well i was in isolation the past two years. i was not allowed to mix with other thousands of prisoners in the main jail. i was kept in a separate compound with people that i don't speak their language. they have disconnect me with fr

t -- me with the outside world. i was not allowed to talk to my family. i was punished because my wife spoke about the eu or united nations issued a statement that made the punish me and put me for quite some time. tortured me as well. i was almost know nothing about what was happening in outside world until i came out. >> do you accept some reforms have been made? there was a report also into the abuse of prisoners. do you think it is moving forward democratically? >> unfortunately we are moving further backwards. especially after i was in jail. a lot has been created to change the system to dictatorship. before you criticize, you cannot

criticize police, the king, the military, can't take part in peaceful protests in the capital. all of this been by law banned now. it has become difficult for human rights to operate in free environment. things have become very worse. i don't see no willingness among the king, royal family, of any kind of dialogue that bring all people to discuss all issue that they have a problem with. i don't see that we are in the right direction unfortunately. because of reluctance we see from the international community and because of support uk government giving to royal family. i think not moving in the right direction. >> i'm afraid we're out of time. thank you for joining us. we contacted the government to speak in response to his allegations. we are joined now on the line.
