hello. you're watching "gmt" on bbc world news. i'm lucy hockings. our top stories. a political crisis deepens. mr. malaki takes the president to court as he struggles to cling to power. in northern iraq, america continues to drop urgent humanitarian aid. we're getting reports that washington is now directly supplying weapons to kurdish fighters. a three day ceasefire is holding in gaza as officials survey the extensive damage of the israeli operation. we're going to be speaking to palestinian economy minister.

we're also exploring the ethnics around treating ebola patients. should experimental drugs be used and who should have access? aaron joining us now. it's the battle over australian wine. >> absolutely. it's said vineyards can at least drink their losses. it's fair to say the industry has had a rocky few years. global investors are fighting it out to see who gets their hands on the largest listed wine maker. that's the treasury wine estate. it's midday here in london, 7:00 a.m. washington, 2:00 p.m. in iraq where we're getting reports despite the american aircraft err strikes, islamic fighters have taken the town northeast of baghdad. it's another advance the iraqi

government has been unable to stop. it continues to be distracted by the ongoing political crisis in baghdad. maliki still struggling to hold onto his job. he's filed a legal complaint against the new iraqi president who's refused to back him. all this as the humanitarian crisis continues to unfold in the north. with more, here's bbc nick childs. >> another u.s. air drop to those in desperate need sheltering and exposed on the mountain in northern iraq. americans have completed four missions to deliver urgently needed supplies. the plight of those on the mountain are need ed from the community that fled the latest sunni advances and focused international concern on threat of fighters of what is known as islamic state. the speed and extent of militant advances has surprised and alarmed iraqi authorities and many in the outside world. they've been threatening the

city of irbil. kurdish forces have retaken two towns from the militants with the help of u.s. air strikes. that hasn't lifted the threat. the militants are apparently captured another town further south closer to the iraqi capital baghdad. heightened security on the streets of the capital. this it seems because of heightened political crisis among the country's leadership. as he struggles to keep his job, the prime minister nouri malaki has seen the backing of the highest court against the new president increasing chances he can hold onto power. this will dismay americans. u.s. secretary of state john kerry currently visiting australia has urged mr. malaki not to start tensions. washington and others see the iraqi prime minister as an obstacle to forming the broad base unity government in baghdad they say is vital to confronting islamic state threat. >> one thing all iraqis need to

know there will be little international support of any kind whatsoever for anything that deviates from the legitimate constitutional process that is in place and being worked on now. they need to finish that and give a new government an opportunity to be voted on and move forward. >> on the front line in northern iraq, kurdish fighters ready to defend the city of irbil and reports from washington suggest the united states is now directly supplying the kurds with weapons to turn the tide against the militants. >> joining me now from bbc arabic to take us through more of what is happening on the ground in iraq. the political crisis must be a bit of a nightmare for john kerry. where are we in terms of legal process? >> malaki said he's taking the

new president to court because he violated to him the constitution twice. the deadline extended 7th of august for main block to nominate a prime minister. also asking him to nominate a prime minister. so also another side of this legal issue is top court according to state television said that the maliki block which is the coalition of rule of law is the major one. later on, a spokesperson for the federal court spoke to bbc arabic and denied this. all confusing. we can't confirm exactly what's happening there. what about on the streets? there are always troops now. a renewed sense of concern in baghdad about the presence of troops. what are people saying? >> people in baghdad -- they've been worried a enough of the

islamic state. maybe at some point towards baghdad like in june. now they're seeing pro maliki sunni shiite troops being deployed since yesterday. we spoke to the minister of interior. he said this is just a routine deployment. people are very worried. he said we should be united against the islamic state and the common enemy as many see them. it seems will there would be internal conflict. so far no fighting in baghdad. what can we read into the fact fighters have taken the town close to baghdad just to the northea northeast? >> this is another advance that shows the american military air strikes are not enough. this is what many are saying in kurdistan and iraq. americans don't want to commit completely to open war for

internal reasons in the united states, but also not to give the impression to malaki they're fully behind him. they're putting pressure on maliki by not committing completely to air strikes. this is according to many people, many analysts inside iraq. >> thank you very much for joining us with that. it's a complicated picture in iraq at the moment. so much for you on the bbc news website. you can find more there about the i.s. group's rise to power and the map of the areas they control. we have the latest from iraq in terms of video. all on the website, bbc.com/iraq. let's stay in the region. reporting on australia's prime minister tony abbott who described as barbaric. a photograph believed to show the young son of the australian

man accused of offenses holding the severed head. it was posted on twitter by the boy's father. a closer look at 568 ukrainian government forces killed since fighting with pro russian separatists started in may. that's according to a spokesman in the country. in the fast week forces have intensified the military operations in donetsk, the largest city in rebel held eastern ukraine. rockets hit a high security prison in the season. 10 pris 100 prisoners escaped. erdogan holds his victory as a new era for the country. mr. erdogan is beginning the task of finding his own replacement of prime minister. he'll be inaugurated august 23rd. we're going to have more on what his leadership is going to look like later here on "gmt." a new three day ceasefire appears to be holding in the

gaza strip raising hopes for a longer term solution to conflict between israel and hamas. egypt urges both sides to reach a comprehensive and permanent ceasefire. nearly 2,000 palestinians, mostly civilians have been killed since violence erupted in early july. 65 have died on the israeli side including three civilians. the conflict sent the economy reeling. it's estimating rebuilding will cost $6 billion. 65,000 homes have been destroyed in the current offensive. 138 schools have been damaged by the shelling. at least 63 mosques have been destroyed. let's take you now where we can

speak to the palestinian prime minister and national economy minister. doctor, thank you for joining us here on "gmt." my first question about the talk a -- talks just underway chl. what is new that could make a difference? >> realization from all parties that quiet removal of siege on gaza and need for long term solution for political situation is a must. i think more than any time before, all parties recognize this cannot continue. we will do everything we can to insure talks are successful and that gaza would go back to normal. that the national government would take the government immediately to remove gaza from this very difficult situation and bring it back to palestine as one united country. >> looking at how severe the

damages in gaza. it will be a long time before things return to normal. where is money going to come from, $6 billion needed to reconstruct gaza? >> the palestinian government is going to do its best given limited resources to help with the situation especially with immediate needs. as you correctly said, damage is huge. cost of the repairing damage and putting gaza economy back to normal would take more than $6 billion. the donors obviously have been very generous in the past. we hope they'll work with us to insure we can bring normality to gaza as soon as possible. >> have you got actual commitments yet from donors? >> well the plan is to have a donor's conference about september 1st in egypt with p

participation of norway, united nations, united states, european union, a arab countries and many other countries invited shortly to come to listen to our presentation about how bad the situation is and request from the palestinian government to support the relief and reconstruction efforts. >> who will oversee this reconstruction process once it gets underway? >> the national consensus government which was established a few months ago will take the lead on that. obviously it's going to be a huge task. we'll use private sector contractors to help with certain tasks. the international community i'm sure on the humanitarian side will do its part. first and foremost, all efforts are overseen by the national

consensus government. >> what is first priority, restoring power? >> say that again please. >> what will your first priority be? >> priority? that's right. after a dealing with the immediate relief issues, there are certain basic services that has to be restored. as you said, electricity is a major problem. only 15% of the time we have electricity available to the public. water is another major problem. waste water treatment plant is dysfunctional and has to be fixed. that has huge effect on environmental issues. the basicioripriority. there are about 400,000 plus people that are homeless and have to be returned back. or alternative if homes are not available for them if you like,

because they're damaged or partially. we have to find temporary housing for them. this is a big task as well. after that, we're going to work with the education system, schools that a have to reopen by august 24th. bringing schools to a situation where kids can go back to school is another major -- >> briefly, what gives you confidence that the ceasefire will hold this time so you really can get on with this necessary work. we won't see it broken by hamas rocket fire into israel. >> well i think the best way to do that is by removing the reasons for this attack that was in place against gaza. the immediate reason has to do with the siege over gaza. the economic development has been prevented bringing material required for development and construction. it's a very important issue.

movement of people from gaza and into gaza has to be allowed. that's in the short term. longer term we need to address the problem which is the political situation. the fact that the occupation is continuing 47 years after it started. i think therefore a responsibility with international community to do everything they can in order to not only remove the siege on gaza but also to put us all on the right track to end occupation, establish palestinian state to live in peace and security with our neighbor israel. >> thank you for joining us on "gmt." do stay with us on bbc world news. still to come. he's on a roll. we take a look at how rory mcilroy secured his second

straight major win and ask if this is the end to a golf era. i missed so many workouts, my treadmill started to dress better than i did. the problem was the pain. hard to believe, but dr. scholl's active series insoles reduce shock by 40% and give you immediate pain relief from three sports injuries. amazing! now, i'm a believer. revolutionary by every standard. and that became our passion. to always build something better, airplanes that fly cleaner and farther on less fuel. that redefine comfort and connect the world like never before.

should new experimental drugs be used to treat ebola? that's the question a panel of medical experts from the world health organization is discussing now in geneva. no vaccine or cure has been developed to date. the disease continues to spread throughout west africa. the latest figures put the death toll at nearly 1,000. discussions in geneva come as two american infected aid workers given doses of the drug are apparently improving. spanish authorities approve the same drug for the priest infected with the virus from liberia. let's take you to new york and speak to the director of the center for bio ethics. thank you for being with us doctor. there are so many things to

consider obviously. should human beings be given a treatment not fully tested yet? >> it's a really tough question. we are always in human medical research trying to balance between two things. one is that the safety of the research participant is extremely important. the other is that these are people at risk of dying from a threatening obviously fatal disease. they don't necessarily want to wait another few years while we test everything and make sure it's perfect. we're between a rock and a hard place where people want help today, and we don't have all the cures we wish we had. >> the consideration from the medical group is that you should do no harm. you don't know the medical effects. >> you are always trying to balance between the best way to help people.

doing no harm doesn't really feel consistent sitting and watching people die. you feel pressed to jump in and try to do something. at the same time i say the very best way to stop the infectious disease epidemic is stop more from getting it. public health measures that are in place need to be brought up to speed. they are going to be the best way to stop the spread of ebola. >> one of the questions asked are why are the experimental drugs only given to western aid workers. why can't ordinary people access them. >> first of all there's not enough drug to make a dent in the illness. if you're going to give to two aid workers or two patients, you haven't done anything to stop ebola. it's really tricky to figure out who have gets access to a new drug. the first person to take it faces enormous risk and may also get the benefit. it's great to hear that the aid

workers who took this drug are back in the u.s. are doing better. we don't really have any idea whether they're doing better because of the drug or because they're in an advanced intensive care unit with benefits of critical illness. if we could get the people in africa to that advanced medical support, they too would do a lot better with or without the drug. >> in terms of ethics is that the bigger issue, who will get access to it first? >> it's a big question. actually there are lots of people across the world globally trying to figure out how you do allocate those scarce resources in the public health emergency. there are a lot of ways to do it. almost everybody agrees if there's a scarce resource you want to make sure the few that get it are actually in the position to benefit. you don't want to give to somebody who are in the last days of illness who's dying. you don't want to give it to

somebody who's fine that's just worried. you want to make sure you get the greatest benefit. >> yes, but will it be given doctor to the person who simply can afford it? >> i hope not. i would not think that would be a valid criteria. it's certainly what everybody worries about. i imagine in the experimental treatment there's no cost of the drug. it should be given in an experimental situation. we don't have proof. i would not imagine cost in the first round is going to be a significant issue. i'm not in charge over there. i don't know. >> finally doctor, what are you hearing on the ground. how close are we to a potential vaccine or cure for ebola? >> i don't think we are particularly close at all to a vaccine though i'm not involved in that research. we still don't have a vaccine for aids. many brilliant people across the world have been looking to find a vaccine for that virus many,

many years now. at the same time we have good treatments for hiv and aids. there are lots of different ways to attack a public health crisis like this. the best is to use public health measures. in the developed world we have a great luxury that we take for granted until we're in trouble that we have a public health force to find out who's got the disease. >> thank you very much for joining us from new york. now even by his own admission, rory mcilroy believed in his wildest dreams he'd have a summer like this one. sunday night the northern irish man won the championship just a few week after winning the the open. it was the fourth major win of his career. he's only 25. a warning for you, there's flash photography at the start of the report. >> he was the book favorite

going into the final round. like the weather, seems odds were against mcilroy. monsoon like conditions delayed start two hours. when play did finally begin, mcilroy saw his shot wiped out within a few holes. his competitors were wiping out. phil mickelson got in on the act firing this in for birdie. then his partner rickie fowler took the lead. trailing foul her by three shots and looking out of form, mcilroy then showed his true class. this majestic approach shot on the par five tenth hole led to eagle three. another birdie on 13th and he

was in a tie for the lead. mc mcilroy, stinson, all vowing for the title. mcilroy grew stronger. this happened on the final hole. it was all that was needed to seal the win. >> i'm not sure i'll ever have another summer like this. i'm going to enjoy it. i've got a lot of golf left to play this year. i have to enjoy what i've just done. >> so victory at valhalla. nothing seems to slip through this young man's grasp. it gives the 25-year-old from northern ireland his fourth major championship, third tournament triumph in a row, on course many say to join the golfing greats. bbc news. >> congratulations to him. stay with us. coming up in the next half hour on "gmt." we're going to look at the shake up in the top of turkish

i'm lucy hockings. in this half hour, from prime minister to president, will mr. erdogan take turkey in the new direction. after a bitter and devicive campaign, he promises to unite the country. later, afghanistan's answer to romeo and juliette. why this married couple need around the clock protection. aaron is back and looking at hacking as a career choice. should i be changing my career? >> not a day goes by without

news of a hack attack on a major company. for that reason, firms around the world are starting to tackl the best and brightest hackers. could it now be a smart career mo move. are welcome back to "gmt." we start with breaking news we're receiving from the iraqi capital baghdad about the political turmoil in the country. we're hearing the the political block of the main party has nominated the deputy speaker of the house as candidate to become prime minister. she is going to be the shia party nominee for prime minister. a new government has to be formed following inconclusive

collections held in april. there's political turmoil there now. one of our top stories is the current caretaker prime minister has taken the president to court because the president has refused to back him. this now just adding to the confused picture we hear from baghdad at the political block of the main shia party. the deputy speaker of the house is hired as candidate of the prime minister. other news we're getting to from brussels is that european union envoys meet tomorrow for emergency discussion on the deep humanitarian crisis in iraq. they'll do that in brussels tomorrow. moving on to turkey now. mr. erdogan has held his win in turkey to first direct presidential election as a new era for the country and a victory for all the turks not

just those that voted for him. on sunday he secured 52% of the vote avoiding run off. his next move is elect a party leader. mark, it was such a bitter and devicive campaign. he won convincingly. >> a convincing victory and people are still digesting that victory. it very much depends on where you are in this country as to your reaction. when you look at the map, most voted for him. when you look at west, they did not vote for him. they do not like his leanings, a authoritarianism. that's the side of turkey the new president elect will have to reach out to. i was out in central areas having a walk through the

central park to test the mood of the nation the morning after the historic election. >> from turkey's first ever president and sounding father, we now move to the man who becomes the next and 12th president of this country. the two most powerful men in this country's history. he secured a decisive win in the presidential election yesterday winning 50% of the votes cast. now in a sense his real political battle begins because he tries to secure a constitutional change next year to enhance the role of a president. a ceremonial post he wants to make in the president style of u.s. or france. for that he needs two-thirds support in parliament to push through that change. it's in doubt whether he'll achieve it. he's a devicive figure loved for supporters for transforming and hated by critics who call it autocratic and despise his

tendencies. can he unite this polarized nation? what's the mood here the morning after this historic election? >> i see turkey going backwards. we educated modern turkey. we really like those times. i see turkey is going backwards following older religion countries. it's really upsetting for me. >> everything is okay. i hope he'll be the president for all turkey. for 100% of turkey. >> do you believe he can? >> he can. he needs to -- we should believe he can. >> i don't think turkey will change under the new president

because presidential direction of turkey won't be possible. it won't be satisfying for turkish people. the presidential system won't be good for turkish people. i probably hope that a lot of people won't accept it. we've been directed with a parliament since almost 90 years. >> now lucy, turkey has already received some congratulations messages from other international leaders. the eu enlargement commissioner has tweeted a message to erdogan congratulating him for the presidential election urging him to continue the approach. turkey is an eu candidate member. it's begun talks under erdogan's

ways. it's a volatile middle east that straddles iraq, ukraine. this is a regional country. like him or loathe him, the west knows they will have to do business with president erdogan. >> thanks for joining us. mark raising lots of questions that need discussions. joining me is based here in london, turkish analyst and researcher at the university of cambridge. let's delve into it. he promised last night to reunite turkey. how is he going to do it? >> it will be quite turkey n. ten months we see national elections. prime minister erdogan, not president elect, will be key in things to come. the party politics continue to play along the rips in the

society. however erdogan has the potential to gradually become a president for everybody. i believe he can be. a lot of that will depend upon his confidence and whether or not he's able to push political agenda. he will not be regular president a that will remain indifferent. there's so much up in the air at the moment. >> surely if he continues down a path of islam you're going to have people saying this is not what it's about. >> none of the studies done in turkey the last year show islam if i occasion of turkey. we cannot say the government is islamist government. it's very true culture politics in turkey and presence of conservative politicians and icons and conservative businesses is creating a sense of being under threat. that would be the defining point. how he moves beyond perception

of threat in different parts of the society. >> there's a perception and then realities like the campaign to say women can't smile in public. it's very real. >> that's unfortunate comment by the deputy prime minister. to what extent that actually symbolizes a push for bringing it out in society is different. politicians have a long track record of saying things they should not say and speaking far too much. >> we have a map of turkey. you can see the neighboring countries surrounding it. there's so many conflicts on turkey's border. do you think president erdogan is going to change turkey's foreign policy in any way and how they tackle crisis? >> i don't think. obviously the question of next foreign minister is important, next prime minister is important. turkish foreign policy has been altering itself according to changes in syria and iraq. i imagine the foreign policy

mission will continue certain things we have seen for example diversifying turkish engagement, regional imported country. the shape of things to come depend on the region not just turkish politics. >> we look closely and see how erdogan does. thank you for joining us. time to join aaron with all the business. talking about one of my favorite things in life. australian red wine. >> wine in general. thanks lucy. let me explain. let's talk about wine in particular. let's be frank, for wine producers it's been a rocky few years. we had production and gluts. it's taken a toll on the treasury wine estate, the world's biggest listed wine maker. now is the is in the middle of a

bidding war by investors bidding to take over its business. let's speak to malcom, a wine expert. great to have you on the program. >> nice to be here. >> i highlighted a couple of problems. paint the picture for us. what's gone wrong with the wine industry? >> i think you have to go back at least 10, 12, 15 years where australian wine was the most popular in the uk. people loved it. it slaughtered french, italians, spaniards from 10, 15 years before that. going back 25 years, portion of australian wine sold in this country was 1%. the french plummeted result of that. everybody loved australian wine. i think they got too cocky. i think they got too confident. i think they started to do deals with the major uk retailers, major super markets which weren't in their best long term

interest. i think what happened was a lot of investors and large company as came in and thought, hey, we can treat wine like we treat beer. the mistake they made was the assumption that wine is somehow not an agricultural product. you can manufacture it like beer. in fact wine is grown in vineyards. that's where it has to come from. it's at the mercy of weather. that has a caused a lot of problems. you've had a lot of problems as you know with drought and all sorts of supply problems in australia. i think it comes down to management which is at the basis of the problem. >> can i ask you this. highlights problems there, you and i, why such interest in twe do you think by global investors? >> because i think wine is sexy. wine is seen as a great thing to invest in. everywhere you look, people are

buying more wine. united states is the largest consumer of wine not per capita but overall. united states is the major consumer. whatever the state seems to do in business, everyone else wants to follow. i think it's an industry that can be profitable. i think people like having the idea of investments in wine. somebody that just wants to have a great wine cellar or someone that wants to have part of a wine country. two major corporate investors that want to invest in it. >> do you think there could be changes to the australian industry? i'm wondering what aussies think about foreign equity groups coming in and buying up. >> i have no idea what they think. you're australian. you tell me. i would have thought they would look at it in the way french look upon people coming in.

in the end it's inevitable. i'm sorry to go back to the french model, but the french model has been so far everything. french own their own chateaus. more and more over 10 to 15 years we've had far eastern investors buying chateaus in france. i think it will happen in australia. it's about world markets. i think those investors recognize there's a wine market in india and china. huge proportions where millions and millions of new wine consumers will come on board. that's a huge opportunity for anyone investing in wine. >> absolutely. i don't mind. i think we're open than french. we've got an irish men running. there you go. malcom, we appreciate your input. very interesting. thank you. our wine expert there. okay. let's talk about this.

barely a day goes by without news of a hack attack on a major company. businesses around the world are finding it almost impossible to stay safe in this world of fast growing threats. many firms around the world are tackling the problem head on by actively seeking out and hiring the best and brightest hackers. they're hiring them. could learning to be a hacker now be a smart career move? dave lee traveled to las vegas to find out. >> drink all the booze and hack all the things, something of unofficial motto for the annual meeting of smartest and often most dangerous minds in the hacking community. since 1993, hackers have been blocking here to find out the latest threats and techniques that are used to break the technology we use everyday.
