>> live from the dw studios here in berlin, this is your world news on the "journal." great to have you with us. >> here's what's coming up in the next 30 minutes -- turkey turns down a u.s. request for help in fighting islamic state as the cia says there are three times more i.s. fighters than previously thought. >> oscar pistorius leaves a south african court on bail. the judge found him guilty of manslaughter, not murder, when he killed his girlfriend reeva steenkamp. >> a northern ireland hardliner who became a peacemaker has died at 88.

u. secretary of state john key hasn inng up support for the american plans to combat islamic state in syria and iraq. the cia puts its combat strength at 31 thousand fighters. >> john kerry was in turkey today, a country the u.s. wants to use to launch air and road attacks against i.s., but ankara has so far said no to joining any military action. will be live in istanbul with our correspondent. first, this report. >> john kerry has been continuing to seek support for a coalition to combat the islamic state in syria and iraq. in on correct, he tried to persuade his host to get involved. >> not just in nato, we have concerns with respect to what is happening in libya and

throughout the middle east. of course, now, events in iraq. >> turkey remains reluctant. washington wants turkey to tighten its borders, but the movement is limiting any turkish appetite for military action. john kerry has received support from france. president francois hollande said while visiting baghdad that france would join in air strikes against i.s. >> the enemy of iraq is a terrorist group that recognizes no borders but makes territorial claims. it wants war, not just against

iraq, but also against all peoples who do not share their vision of a world based on terror. >> in contrast, germany has rejected any involvement in air strikes against i.s. >> 10 countries are now overboard with the u.s. in this effort, but not turkey. let's go toorian jones in istanbul and find out why. why do the turks not want to provide the u.s. with the facilities they so desperately need right now? >> basically because the islamic state are holding 49 turkish diplomats and their families hostage, and there's a great deal of concern about the conditions they are being held in. added to that is that turkey does border the region, and it is believed to be as many as 1000 if not more turkish members of the islamic state, and there are fears that if turkey does take a more military approach to

the islamic state, they can fall victim to a tax on turkish cities. in fact, last year, a turkish town was devastated by two bombs, now believed to be the work of the islamic state. having said that, there is some skepticism within the region and within turkey that this is being used as an excuse. even before hostages were taken, the turkish government were quite reticent in condemning the islamic state. they say the real problem lies with the leader of the syrian regime. even now, there's the accusation that washington is guilty of hypocrisy, prepared to bomb the islamic state, but not the assad regime. >> to these the mystic and political concerns inside turkey mean that ankara will continue leaving washington out in the cold when it comes to fighting i.s.2? >> there will be some intelligence cooperation, and

that already happened. western intelligence services have confirmed their turkish counterparts are cooperating, using turkey as a gateway into syria. closing that border is seen as key to containing this organization. >> thanks so much for that of it from istanbul. >> islamic status taken control over large parts of syria and iraq. hundreds of writers come from here in germany. hard-core salafists recruited in major german urban areas. >> intelligence authorities think 100 have returned home, sparking fears of jihadist violence in germany. to halt the recruitment of new members, the government has banned in a demonstration of support for i.s. >> at a demonstration by islamists in germany, speakers appeal openly for support for the islamic state. others pose in front of the brandenburg gate with a black flag.

now all such actions have been outlawed. >> promoting the islamic state is now illegal, as are all of its symbols, including attempts to support i.s., fundraising, and especially, recruiting fihters for this brutal war. >> much of that recruiting happened over the internet. experts estimate that some 400 islamists from germany have joined the fighting in iraq and syria, more than half of them german citizens. some are even thought to be among the top i.s. commanders. many have reportedly returned to germany to recruit more fighters. that in itself was is a challenge for the german authorities. >> we must further strengthen the german intelligence service on order to get a handle on the situation here. >> however, islamic state has not yet an officially declared a

terrorist organization in germany. not like the al qaeda network. that would require a ruling by the courts. >> is there an i.s. threat here in germany? we're joined by our political correspondent for more. first off, can you tell us more about this band? >> as we've heard, there's great concern, particularly here in germany, about the recruitment of new members to i.s. this was pointed out today by the interior minister when he announced that i.s. symbolism would be banned. this means that anyone posting i.s. symbols, reposting them, linking to videos for recruitment would now potentially face a sentence of up to two years in prison, so the hope is that this will keep people from recruiting more members here in germany on the ground with this overarching

concern here that the war could be brought onto german territory. >> that is a very important question -- is this an enough? is germany safe? what type of threat level is their? >> and a think anyone is under the illusion that banning i.s. would make a huge difference, but the largest concern is, of course, german citizens who could potentially bring this struggle that they call it, into german cities, into european cities, and their hands are tied, certainly, if countries like germany and britain do not want to violate international law because it is illegal to take away citizenship, to lead people stateless, and this is something that needs to be resolved. again, there is the call to put i.s. on the european terrorism list to have an even broader spectrum of measures to take against them.

>> also an increase in intelligence here domestically. thanks so very much. >> you are welcome. >> in other news today, oscar pistorius' future is now more than ever in the hands of the judge. earlier, in pretoria, a south african judge ruled the former peril of six star was guilty of culpable homicide in the shooting death of his girlfriend. >> pistorius was not found guilty of murder. it will be up to the judge on october 13 to decide how and for how long the story is should be punished if at all. >> as pistorius arrived in court, he knew he had been spared the worst. the judge repeated her comments from thursday. there was not enough evidence to prove the story is intended to kill his girlfriend, reeva steenkamp. but she said he had clearly broken the law. she settled on a lesser charge. >> mr. pistorius, please stand up.

the accused is found not guilty and is discharged. instead, he is found guilty of culpable homicide. >> the verdict supports pistorius' version of events that he mistook reeva steenkamp for an intruder and him panic shot her through the bathroom door. the prosecution accused pistorius of murder, believing the fatal shooting was the result of a lovers quarrel. >> we're disappointed that we did not get or secure a conviction on premeditated murder, and also that there was an acquittal on the other two charges. >> pistorius was acquitted on charges of illegal possession of ammunition and firing a pistol in his car, but he was convicted on a separate incident of illegally firing a gun in a restaurant. sentencing is set for october 13. that means more waiting for the victims' parents as well.

>> hopefully, for the parents, he will get just a few years. >> it just shows that money can buy pretty much anything if the judge does not send him to prison for a long time. >> pistorius has had bail extended, so he is not going to present yet. he could face up to 15 years behind bars, but he could also just get a suspended sentence and not go to prison at all. >> the controversial mayor of toronto has withdrawn from the upcoming mayoral race after being diagnosed with an brother has announced he will be standing in as candidate in elections in october. he has made plenty of headlines during the past two years for his erratic behavior at city hall meetings and for admitting he had smoked crack cocaine. he also went into rehab for two months or drug and alcohol abuse.

to northern ireland now, and the protestant politician and clergyman in paisley has died at 88. >> paisley began his career as an old-style fire and brimstone preacher before setting up his own political party, the democratic unionists, to cement protestant rule in northern ireland. >> he was thrown out of european parliament wants for heckling pope john paul ii as the antichrist. >> towards the end of his career, paisley finally embraced power-sharing between catholics and protestants in northern ireland, moving from hardliner to peacemaker. >> towards the end of his long life, ian paisley went through a remarkable transformation. he spent years rejecting cooperation with pro-irish catholic politicians in northern ireland, but as both majority protestants and minority catholics grew tired of the province' violent sectarian conflict, paisley ultimate accepted power-sharing.

>> it is a special day because we are making a new beginning, and i believe we are starting on a road which will bring us back to peas and to prosperity. >> for paisley, too, it was a new beginning. he built his political career as a hard-line defender of protestant traditions and privilege against catholic demands for civil rights and equality. >> [inaudible] >> many northern irish protestants saw him as a defender of their culture and a bulwark against the violent pro-irish republicanism of the ira, but paisley's religious fundamentalism and fiery rhetoric was also blamed for fueling a sectarian conflict that claimed 3700 lives over four decades. in 2007, the hardliner embraced reconciliation.

following fresh elections to the northern ireland assembly, his democratic unionists emerged as the largest party. he agreed to share power with the political allies of the ira, sinn fein. paisley became first minister of the executive, his deputy, martin mcguinness, former ira commander. in another watershed moment, paisley also publicly shook hands with the irish prime minister. he became a political moderate, but he remained a radical defender of his protestant faith. when pope an addict visited the u k in 2010, paisley traveled to scotland with a message for the leader of the world's roman catholics. despite his controversial past, paisley's legacy is likely to be his achievement in delivering northern ireland's for stable

liberty government between its pro-bridge protestants and pro-irish catholics.

>> welcome back. the european union has slapped russia with more sanctions for its role in the ukraine crisis. >> some of russia's largest firms including oil companies -- >> the latest punitive measures were adopted earlier this week, but some leaders did not want to impose them for fear of russian backlash. >> the eu says sanctions can be reversed if moscow commits to the truce reached last week between kiev and pro-russian separatists. >> vladimir putin is on a state visit to to take a stand determined to respond to europe's sanctions -- a state visit to touch it to stand -- a state visit to tajikistan. >> our position is making this type of decision at the very moment when the peace process is gaining stability we hope means a disruption to the peace

process. the eu sanctions target the important oil industry. it will lose access to funding and the latest technology. major russian banks also face losing western capital, as does the defense industry. russia could counter with a band of imports or a ban on airline overflights. >> obviously, we are ready to do that, but i would rather fly around russia than see people being killed in ukraine. that has just got to stop. >> the eu is also showing solidarity with ukraine. european commission president visited the ukrainian president in kiev, and that the subsequent press conference, there was a surprising offer to defuse the

conflict with russia. poroshenko said he would delay full implementation of the agreement until the end of next year, a step welcomed by moscow. >> with the latest eu sanctions coming into force, everyone is waiting for russia's response, but investors took a wait-and-see attitude at the end of the trading week. here is a wrap of the day's action from the frankfurt stock exchange. >> it is the first day of the new eu sanctions against russia, but markets are not really impressed. they have other concerns. in the united states, the u.s. federal reserve wants to increase the interest rates for the u.s., but that's only going to happen when the economy is strong enough. a fact that august saw strong retail sales is therefore bad news, believe it or not. in the meantime, eu finance ministers are discussing ways to strengthen the eurozone, but that will be quite hard if we see the latest figures for industry production in italy and france. the dax ended the week quite

unmotivated. >> let's get a closer look at friday's numbers now. in frankfurt, germany's blue-chip dax ended the day .4% lwer at 9651. the euro stoxx 50 was virtually unchanged, and across the atlantic, it has been a losing week for the dow jones industrials, which slipped by 100 points. at last check, the euro is trading at $1.29. new declassified information on the nsa spying scandal revealed that the government agency strong-armed internet firm yahoo!, threatening it with massive fines if it did not hand over personal information of users according to the company's general counsel, who made the announcement in a blog post. >> strong arming had a big price tag. yahoo! faced paying $250,000 every day it refused to submit

to the nsa demands. the newly released court documents show yahoo! tried to fight the orders in court that lost. a number of other firms including google were also forced to turn over user data. >> next, we shift our focus back to the middle east where the 50-day conflict in the gaza strip has left deep scars, but for now, what gazans want more than anything else is a return to some form of normalcy. >> the new school term, for example, should have started two weeks ago after the end of the summer break, but many of the buildings are now destroyed, and the children traumatized from the horrors they either experienced or saw. >> tonia cramer filed the following report for us. >> the city in northeastern gaza was badly damaged during the conflict. many buildings were destroyed, including the home of ibrahim and his uncle.

now they are looking for books in the rubble. school starts again on sunday, two weeks late. >> we don't have a home anymore. where can we study? where are we supposed to learn? amongst the rubble? >> the 13-year-old finds it hard to even think about school right now. the united nations estimates some 18,000 homes were destroyed. family homes just like his. >> of course, i would like my kids to be able to go to school. they have already lost last school year, and i don't know how i am supposed to educate them in these conditions. >> ibrahim and his family took shelter in a united nations school during the war, but even there, they came under fire. it are him tells us how his older brother was killed -- ibrahim tells us how his older brother was killed. >> since they attacked the school, i have been pretty shaken up. i have no interest in never going back there again.

>> the fear of not being safe wherever they go makes going back to school all the more difficult for the children. this psychologist is giving special training to teachers. they have also survived a war, and they have to learn to deal with their own experiences. >> we just plan to do psychological exercises during the first week and play particular games to help the children feel like they are in a safe place. that way, they can hopefully resume a reasonably normal life as soon as possible. >> reconstruction work is also under way, seeking to make more space for the children. already before the war, some schools were teaching in shifts to accommodate. now, with some schools destroyed, the situation is bound to get worse. >> over 60,000 people are still sheltering, and it's unclear how long they will have to stay for lack of alternative.

>> the family has built emergency accommodation next to their old house. their biggest concern is that war with israel could break out again. >> the situation is calm at the moment, but we live in fear because the cease-fire is only that worries me. as long as it is peaceful, we feel safe here with our children, but who knows what will happen. >> they find it hard to cope with the uncertainty, but at least starting school again could be a step that towards normality. >> flooding in pakistan and india has affected some 2 million people, and now the disasters threatening the pakistani metropolis. >> floods have already claimed the lives of 280 pakistanis. more than 200 have died in neighboring india. the military has been and dropping supplies to stranded people. electricity and phone services

are down in several regions, and many have been camping out on their roofs for days. officials expect the water to recede in about a week. growing out of control that's the disturbing characterization of the ebola outbreak in western africa by the head of the world health organization. >> on friday, margaret chan said ebola is ravaging parts of the continent. one researcher said that the battle may have already been lost in sierra leone and liberia where almost everyone can become infected and where half the population might perish. >> this is a medical center run by doctors without borders and the monrovia and capital. the people wait outside the gates for help, but there is no room for them. all the beds are full. they are too weak to go anywhere else, so they just wait here. this man says that the sick have slept here overnight and vomited

all over the place. they come here in taxis rather than ambulances. taxis sometimes even bring dead bodies. that scares them. taxis are filling the gap left by a shortage of ambulances. liberia's health service has been overwhelmed by the epidemic, and as health clinics are flooded with sufferers, common illnesses like malaria or pneumonia are often going untreated. there is a shortage of beds, personnel, expertise, and money. the world health organization is seeking to set up more clinics, but it's just not enough. >> we conducted the training last week. we trained about 300 health workers. if we can get some more support, we should train some more. >> the amount of aid flowing into liberia is falling drastically short. the government says it just cannot get the upper hand against the virus. >> scientists have unveiled a fossil that sheds

on a giant predatory dinosaur that was larger than the t rex. >> studies confirm this dinosaur spent much of its time in water, unlike any other dinosaur. the fossil was found in morocco. >> this is a spinosaurus, a gigantic predator from prehistoric times. the 15 meter long dinosaur was dangerous in water and on land. >> we imagine animal paddling away like a duck with a long neck like a bird. but like a crocodile, powering its way with a very significant tail and a head that looked pretty much like a crocodile, so it's a chimeric -- a combination of a burden crocodile. >> the dinosaur hunted for sharks in water. unlike many other predatory dinosaurs, hawk -- it walked on its two hind legs on land. >> there is no modern day equivalent to spinosaurus and no

texting to animals that really look anything like it, so it's like working on an extraterrestrial, like working on an alien. >> researchers at the university of chicago have reconstructed the largest ever known carnivorous dinosaur, even bigger than the term and a source rex. >> the spinosaurus might be too frightening to show to your children, so think about that. >> thank you so much for being with us. >> bye-bye. captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org--

this week on moyers & company, "facing evil" with maya angelou. >> they laugh to shield their crying. they shuffled through their dreams. they stepped 'n fetched a country and wrote the blues in screams. i understand their meaning, it could and did derive from living on the ledge of death. they kept my race alive. by wearing the mask! >> announcer: funding is provided by -- anne gumowitz, encouraging the renewal of democracy. carnegie corporation of new york, supporting innovations in education, democratic engagement, and the advancement of international peace and security at carnegie.org. the ford foundation, working with visionaries on the front lines of social change
