welcome good morning to you my name is the harvey and you're watching. first for you this hour has been confirmed that armed american drones are patrolling the airspace over the iraqi capital while the country fights an army of jihadists advancing from the north u.s. official said that the drones primary task is to defend american diplomats u.s. secretary of state john kerry is also asking the kurds to stand by baghdad and he was followed by the british foreign secretary who traveled to meet leaders in northern iraq on friday to discuss their role in the conflict those who care for north looks at the prospects for iraqi kurdistan in the ongoing conflict. less than two kilometers away a stronghold of the islamic state in iraq and syria fighters from isis or as they're called in arabic have taken over the neighboring village these kurdish

soldiers known as the peshmerga are are the only defense that's keeping the insurgents from marching north. so this whole area. isis fighters with snipers and the militant offensive sweeping across a rock is redrawing the country's borders but so too are the kurds as a rocky forces crumbled in the wake of the harvest onslaught kurdish soldiers moved in to fill the void nearly doubling their territory in the process in just a matter of hours the kurds seized militarily what they failed to secure politically for decades the oil rich province of cure cooled and its main city spofforth. the peshmerga is controlling the code. because in the other side there's no other groups but of course the peshmerga which thirty four years one of the most dangerous cities in iraq sure cook has become

a refuge in kurdish hands hundreds of cars lined the road leading to the city as desperate iraqis for the for their lives. the city is home to a mix of arabs kurds chirk ben and christians all lay claim to this land a year ago i couldn't really walk around here without the help of an armed escort it was just too dangerous there are suicide bombings frequent clashes between rival groups like controlling care coolpix the kurds hope to prove that they can do a better job than the central government maybe safer so far but what neighbors like isis it's unclear for how long. it didn't take long that evening we witnessed care cooke's temporary or spike from violence shattered a suicide bomber tried to enter a market in a kurdish part of town at least six people killed dozens wounded kurds may seem as though when there's this. some of them are living in the euphoria of

total tree. but more tentative and more people means more problems if it wasn't planned. already divisions are emerging minority arab and turkmen residents are worried about their rights in the new kirkuk kurdish authorities promised a referendum but in a worrying sign of what could be ahead these shiite turkmen are taking matters into their own hands. we don't trust any government or any group to protect us so we're taking our arms to defend ourselves lucy caffein of kirkuk iraq a former pentagon analyst michael maloof says that the kurds are going to use the instability in iraq to snatch as much or thora to as they can. the kurds see a golden opportunity to basically declare their independence they've already

announced that they're going to have a referendum now they do have a choice they can either do that or. do what. kerry wants and work with the government in baghdad i think that by they listen politely to to secretary kerry i think they have their own interests in mind and unless something miraculous happens in the parliament without moloch you stand on board i think this split enough iraq is going to be inevitable the only thing that is working in anybody's favor is that isis has the has a military capability but the question is will they be able to govern all that territory they're taking over and already they're fighting from within some of the units and some of the other islamist groups and even x. about this that they that joined them temporarily to take the territory over but now there's actually been gunfire and and opposition each week for want their own

a heart attack some forty minutes after being injected doctors say that the burst of vein in his body whilst the controversial cocktail of drugs was being administered there was a similar incident back in january in ohio where an inmate was reportedly convulsing for around twenty five minutes in both cases concerns were raised that the doctors use previously untested drugs now even though the investigation into both cases continues prison authorities are continuing to use the method three executions of actually been carried out in june so far the first since april in total three thousand prisoners await the death penalty in the u.s. jails human rights advocates are concerned the authorities are unwilling to take heed of past failures. every time one more state changes a protocol or changes the lethal drug cocktail in a sense we have the potential for human experimentation to be trying something on

a human being that's never been tried before and that's being repeated in state after state here in the united states oklahoma has not done another execution yet now we've set some dates out several months into the future and that's exactly why these inmates have sued what they're basically saying is that we're not ready to do more executions on the other hand the status saying it thinks we will be ready within a couple of months and of course without the full findings there on what went wrong in clayton markets execution i think it's very hard for the state's argument to be taken seriously that we're ready to actually start more executions when we don't fully know what happened. ok some other news from around the world for you israeli fighter jets of launched air strikes in the gaza strip leaving two palestinians dead and critically wounding another man allegedly belonged to the popular resistance committee an armed group accused of firing rockets into israeli territory attacks came as israeli troops continue a large scale search for three missing teenage boys believed to have been abducted
