captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- >> is iraq on the brink of wake up? sunni islamists close to the capital. >> the shia led government has dismissed several security force commanders after a week of military response to the brutal onslaught. it does not change the fact that this weeklong offensive has less -- has left the government on the back foot. >> the u.s. is sending almost 300 marines to baghdad. u.s. warships are also being repositioned. >> the west wants nouri al-maliki to reach out to sunnis to diffuse the uprising. he is refusing and the attacks and bombings are continuing, creating a new refugee crisis. >> they are safe, at least for now. refugees began streaming into this make shop -- makeshift camp in the kurdish province.

there in the thousands, working to escape the ruthless isi s militants. -- isis militants. he and his family fled in the middle of the night after rebels seized the town on monday. he says they left everything behind but the close on their body. -- clothes on their body. iraqi government troops have carried out airstrikes on isis positions, that has not stopped the sunni islamist militants. they are reportedly closing in on baghdad after making major gains in both the north and south. tension in the capital is hype. -- is high. >> the situation in iraq is more dangerous than in syria, because all the terrorist groups and ices have turned toward iraq. >> a car bomb went off, killing at least 10 people in sadr city.

many fear the sectarian violence could expand in the middle east. u.s. and iranian diplomats met on the sidelines of nuclear talks in vienna. they say they are considering cooperating to stop the advance of isis. the u.s. has deployed 275 military personnel to protect its embassy staff in baghdad. u.s. aircraft carriers are stationed in the persian gulf, and the pentagon is no longer ruling out drone and airstrikes. >> we are joined by our middle east analysts. isis have had in the order -- have had a meteor it rise. where are they drawing from? >> most members are iraqis, and the organization benefits from the fact that the shiite prime minister of iraq has done

everything he can to minimize sunnis and secularists in iraqi politics. that is why they have some support among the sunnis in the western and northern part of the country. and that prophet, of course, the fact that governmental control is we can not only in syria. >> other sunni groups and tribal leaders are probably unhappy with the direction the prime minister has taken. >> definitely. the americans have tried to convince the maliki government that this policy might lead to catastrophe in the future. quickly maliki -- >> the maliki government is going in the opposite direction. >> it only believes in a military solution. maliki and his supporters will not be able to solve this problem. >> the united nations has stepped in, warning the conflict could spread and destabilize the

entire region. >> the states are destabilized, syria and iraq. lebanon is in danger. jordan is not a stable country neither. i think we will have more problems with the repercussions of the iraq war in the next few years. >> getting chummy with iran -- is that their only hope? >> i do not think they believe iran will be of help. iran is the main supporter of the maliki government, and is partly responsible for his refusal to deal with the problem politically. so i do not think we will see a large-scale cooperation between the americans and the iranians. >> thank you very much for coming in. >> there has been another attack in eastern kenya, claiming the lives of at least 15 people. >> this comes a day after gunmen

stormed another town in the area, slaying 49. >> al shabaab has claimed responsibility. kenya's president says that is not the case. >> it was mostly men and police officers who were killed in the raid. many homes were also destroyed. this is already the second attack on the small coastal village just 50 kilometers away from a popular tourist destination. at least 49 people died in an attack on sunday. but it is unclear who killed them. the militant group al shabaab said they did, to avenge the death of their fighters in somalia at the hands of kenya's army. but kenya's president says it was a result of ethnic violence. >> this, therefore, was not an al shabaab terrorist attack. evidence indicates that local political networks were involved

in the planning and execution of the heinous crime. >> that is a moot point for survivors. they fear more violence regardless of where it comes from. >> i am planning to pack up my bags and get out, because there is no security here. everybody is frightened. >> i am not comfortable. i think the attackers are still hiding here. >> security patrols have been out in force since the incident. too late for the villagers, but maybe not too late to create the appearance of safety for tourists, one of kenya's top sources of income. >> back to europe. an explosion has hit a major pipeline carrying russian gas through ukraine. like the ukrainian government says the blast was sabotaged to discredit the country as a reliable energy supplier. he says the flow of gas to the european union has been maintained.

russia cut national gas supplies in a dispute over late payments. in has been nearly two years since the deadly attack on the u.s. consulate in libya. >> obama says u.s. special forces captured one of the ring leaders in libya on sunday. the man will be brought to the u.s. to face trial. islamic extremists opened fire on the compound in 2012. four americans were killed, including ambassador chris stevens. the suspect is believed to have taken part. france's president has called a lynch mob attack on a roman teenager unspeakable and unjustifiable. >> the 16-year-old is fighting for his life. he was taken from a roma camp in a paris suburb and brutally beaten after locals accused the boy of a break in. france has one of europe's strictest policies on roma immigrants and convicted 20,000 last year. the search for missing is really

teenagers has continued, with troops sweeping the area. they arrested 49 palestinians. >> israel believes members of hamas have kidnapped the jewish boys. israel says they are effectively under stage. >> israeli troops have swarmed have run -- hebron in search of the missing teenagers. over 200 palestinians have been arrested so far. benjamin netanyahu says hamas is her sponsor before the boys' disappearance, but so far no one has claimed responsibility. the palestinians are cooperating in the search. >> the israeli army is coordinating its moves with the palestinian security authorities. both sides have an interest in locating the children. and the coordination is working. >> the three israeli boys were last seen on thursday at a busy intersection near hebron, the

largest city in the west bank. young israelis often use bus stops to hitch rides into town. >> we hitchhike here every day. this is the way we get around. we go into the city and other places. >> the crisis has exacerbated already tense relations between israel and the new palestinian government. the missing teenagers -- if the missing teenagers are not found soon, there are fears israel could respond with a military offensive that could scuttle any hopes up these talks between the two sides. >> doctors without borders says an aerial bombing has hit another of its hospitals, this time in the south of sudan. >> a staff member was injured as well as five villagers. the organization is appalled by the attack. >> the syrian military is fighting soldiers

more aligned with south sudan, over the border. >> south sudan is in the grip of a bloody power struggle between government troops and rebels, and the militias are indiscriminate about their targets. in this term, they attacked the hospital used by doctors without borders. medical staff face challenging conditions. >> i found 5/10 -- five tents, each holding 40-50 patients. most are surgical patients. that is to say they have grave injuries and damage tissue, or terrible bone fractures, such as broken hips that have become infected. >> he volunteered to work here. he is aware of the dangers. but medical teams in south sudan are increasingly being assaulted, objected, and even murdered.

>> over the past few months, there has been a rise in the attacks against infrastructure, patients, and staff. there have been attacks on the medical infrastructure in several places. there have even been patients shot dead in hospital. more and more often, staff or forced to flee. >> the rainy season is beginning in south sudan. more than one million people have been displaced by the fighting. the spike the growing threat, doctors without borders are determined to send more help. crexendo families of 50 asylum seekers killed when their boat sank off australia's christmas island are suing the government. >> the australian government describes the legal action is shameful and offensive. >> the refugee boat ran into trouble in rough seas off christmas island in december,

2010. the vessel was carrying nearly 100 asylum seekers, mainly from iran and iraq. people living on christmas island looked on in horror as they realized what was happening. >> it is children. there is children on the boat. they are so -- i cannot believe it. where is the navy ship? >> a short while later, this is all that was left of the boat. the navy managed to rescue 40 people. one man made it to shore on his own. 50 others drowned. lawyers say their deaths could have and prevented, had the response been different. >> on the morning in question, there were rescue vessels on christmas island, but they did not work. they were not seaworthy.

he could have saved lives. they could have also protected the australian navy officers, gradually put their lives at risk to save the asylum-seekers. >> australia's immigration minister rejects the charges. >> the men and women who served that day showed a level of bravery, self-sacrifice, that we have seen only on rare occasions. and the response of the people of christmas island and fellow australians was also extraordinary. for this claim to be brought in this way today -- it just eggers believe. -- beggars belief. >> a people smuggler was convicted in the incident, but it seems the government may also find itself in court. course we bring you news of auctions over jewelry or artwork, but what about this? >> it looks like a grubby scrap of aper, but it is worth a small fortune. would you pay 15 million euros

for it, that grubby little piece of paper? >> if you were a collector, you probably would. >> we will leave you guessing what it is. more after the break. >> don't go away. >> welcome back. argentina -- is it about to go bust? president cristina fernandez de kirchner country cannot a almost a billion euros to u.s. investors. >> the u.s. supreme court gave argentina less than two weeks to start paying the debt in full. fernandez said her country would not bend to what she called extortion. in 2000 one, argentina defaulted on 73 billion euros. the country agreed to a bond write-down with many creditors. some still want to be repaid in full.

kirchner says these are culture funds. who are they? >> it is a small group of investors. one is a u.s. hedge fund called nml capital. argentina calls them falter funds, because they buy national debt of countries that are in financial distress, usually for a very cheap price, and then they wait and push for complete payment of the so-called nominal value, which is usually much higher than the actual value, regardless of what the consequences for the country might be. >> what is it about this debt? where did they get it from? >> the issue dates back to the year 2001, when argentina went into default, with huge hardship for the people there. it later cut out a deal with its creditors. repaying them only about a third of what they invested in the first place. about 92% of the national debt

was restructured this way. the remaining eight percent was held by so-called vulture funds. argentina is claiming they bought the national debt when it was very low, right after the default. in the case of nml capital, the fund invested $50 million and will get back about $800 million now. part of punishing the investors that went out for restructuring -- this is a moral issue. is this justified? is this ok? only because it is legal, apparently. grace is fernandez going to succeed? >> argentina is very likely to pay. it is forbidden for argentina to repay other investors unless they have settled this current score. how much argentina is going to pay -- that is up for debate. the president said she is open for discussion. let us see if the hedge funds are as well.

>> who is the highest bidder in the takeover battle for alstom? two industry giants are bidding for the french in generic company. >> siemens maybe she joined forces and presented a joint offer. they end up blocking a bid by u.s. rival general electric. >> the billion-dollar merger game is going into the next round. >> historically, siemens and alliston have been fierce rivals. one is portrayed as german engineering, while other is a french national icon. but now the two trains could be built together. that would create a european champion in the railway business. >> siemens is prepared to place all its railway business in a joint venture, to be led by alstom.

>> by signaling its willingness to hand over the i.c.e. to the french, siemens wants to show how seriously it takes the battle for alstom. the ceo and his counterpart from mitsubishi heavy industries put their case to the french government. they are offering 7 billion euros to the energy business. they promise of technological cooperation, and up to 2000 jobs. they say that out bids general electric costs offer. -- general electric's offer. >> this is all about integrating alstom to a stronger, more powerful investor. >> but that is no guarantee of success. paris insiders say the government still thinks the bids are not high enough. >> our frankfurt correspondent has more on the alstom story for us, and how it went down on the trading for -- trading floor.

>> siemens got some praise in the stock market for its combined offer with mitsubishi for french giant alstom. it was a clever move, lowering the risks for siemens. but what traders do not want -- siemens putting more money on the table to please the french government. this could be too much for the company. the german dax managed to recover from recent losses. the mood was not so bad. the dax lost momentum after disappointing economic data. investor sentiment fell surprisingly in june. investors are getting more skeptical. >> the report from frankfurt. let's take a quick look at tuesday's market numbers. dax ended tuesday's session up by more than a third. the eurozone euro stoxx 50 also up, closing at 3275. the dow jones industrials,

currently in slightly positive territory. it is time to turn to the world cup in brazil. belgium taking on algeria. >> belgium is considered to be a dark horse in the tournament. but found themselves trailing early on in the match, and then rallied to eke out a 2-1 victory. >> the coach of belgium was delighted with the outcome and his tax. -- tactics. two of his substitutes he brought on scored the equalizer and winning goal. but the first half was all about algeria. they filed in the box in the 25th minute. the algerian scored from the spot to give his side a 1-0 lead. they'll jump found it difficult to outplay the defensively strong algerians. but finally, midway through,

they brought in a midfielder who plays for manchester united. the move paid off to bring the belgians level. with just 10 minutes remaining in the match, drees martin slammed in this shot to make it 2-1 belgium. the coach could not have been happier. >> we are joined from our sports desk. tell us all about belgium. coming from behind. why are they being called the dark forces of this tournament, or one of the dark horses? >> that have the ability to come from behind after being down and winning a match. not since the 1980's has belgium had such a talented squad. back in the 1980's, they called them the golden team. they are calling this squad the second golden team. all their players play in the talk leads -- top leagues, any in the premier league.

they may have the best goalkeeper in the world. he plays club football for chelsea. they have a stellar record of qualifying for this tournament. in 10 qualifying matches, they only let him four goals. that is less than half a goal. there is hardly a team in the world that can boost a record like that. >> opponent algeria -- world cup stuff? >> i think so. they have a lot of enthusiasm. they are very counted. they have upset other big teams before in the world cup. i love their midfielder. he is the man who caused the penalty shot. he was fouled and then he scored to give algeria a brief 1-0 lead. overall, they are not expected to go that far in the tournament. they are the only team in north africa to fight for this tournament.

brazil are under pressure. it is difficult to play at home sometimes with these expectations. they are up against mexico, who also has had a rough time in the past. they are trying to prove to their fans that they are worthy of this tournament. there has been a lot of criticism of the mexican squad, but i think it is going to be a tight game. russia i do not think are going to have too many fans because of the political situation. korea, always a tough team. it is going to be a tight game, but i do not expect either of these teams to go far in this tournament. >> efforts to rescue an injured explorer from germany's deepest known cave is going better than expected. >> he could see daylight as soon as thursday. the german cave explorer was trapped underground over a week

ago after being injured in a rockfall. now it comes. in the great universe of stamp collecting -- so the bees is describing a postage stamp auction in a few hours time. >> it is expected to bring more than 50 million euros. >> it is the only one of its kind known to exist. it was printed in british guyana in 1856, first sold in the 19th century by a scottish schoolboy living in the british colony. its last owner was 72-year-old john du pont, a millionaire who died in prison in 2010 while serving a sentence for murder. so the bees says its history is written on the stamp. -- southeby's says its history is written on the stamp.

>> it contains the provenance of every owner since the 1870's. it has always been such an important stamp that, unusually, every owner has marked the reverse in some way, either by putting a little tiny hand stamp or their initials on it all stop >> is itself tonight, it would be the most expensive object by weight and size ever sold. >> i think i would get a kick out of owning such a stamp. >> you are german. the germans love stamps and stamping things. if i had a dollar for every stamp i have been given since coming to this country, i would be a rich man. >> and more romantic association there. >> brazil versus mexico. it is 0-0 at the moment. keep watching.
