why would they defeat daish? so we should have a project in establishing stability that takes into account the security and the continuingity of democracy. mr. taylor: we are so pleased that you will be able to join us here. you will find a group of very interested people here come a very interested in your country, in the direction of your country, and the peace that you have just described. let me open the floor to questions. i am going to do i think two at a time. he will enter one at a time, but let me get to at a time so a microphone can be in your hands and we will save some time that way. so why don't we start up here, right here yes and then appear as well. there you go. very good. certain? -- sir, name and affiliation. >> i work in somalia. thank you for hosting this very important forum, and i would like to welcome him and his delegation. for years am a i work iraqi groups from 2004 until 2011 on a program, so i have interest in what is going on in iraq like somalia. i have a question that i cannot find

i don't believe the peshmerga have yielded any terrain to daish since the beginning of last winter.em as well as the anti-isil forces up in syria beingage being able to make considerable gains when abled by coalition air. the terrain is more conducive to open area air strikes as opposed tocomplex where air strikes in coordination and collateral damage is a little more complex. that could be a contributing factor into why we see some of the successes we've seen along the -- in the kurdish areas of northern iraq and anti-isil regions in northern syria. i think you've heard the way the terrain is oriented, particularly in peshmerga areas in northern iraq there is a well-defined forward line of troops which simplifies the targeting process. down in central iraq, the battle space is much more complex much more mixed. disaggregated forces et cetera which complicated our targeting efforts. >> sir that concludes our time here today. we really appreciate you taking the time to explain current operations in your area. with that, we'll sign off from here. thanks. keep your head down over there

>>the gigantic gab between what daish claims to be and what it is. the violence includes millions of refugees and displaced persons. the united states has provide $3.7 billion in humanitarian aid to those affected by the war in syria and more than $470 million for displaced iraqis. the magnitude and duration of the regional crisis have stretched the global response capabilities to its limits, but there are times and this is one of them when normal limitations have to be set aside. more funds are urgently needed to alleviate suffering and shield the innocent from harm. finally, we share the emphasis that the foreign minister placed on the urgency of a political transition in syria and we will redouble our efforts to help achieve it. it becomes clearer every single day that daish stands for nothing and dependency on people who will fall for anything. emerge from this meeting comfort that we will defeat them through our unity determination around commitment to create a future of opportunity and peace for people in iraq and syria and indeed in the entire

. >> daish is a regional problem that is trending towards global implications. >> president obama's special envoy on fighting isil says progress is being made on hitting isil's money supply. >> buying time, why the number of british women freezing their eggs is increasing. amnesty international is accusing the nigerian military of committing war crimes during its fight against boko haram. it says the military, including senior commanders must be investigated for the murder, torture, starvation and suffocation of thousands of people. its report says that since march, 2011, more than 7,000 young men and boys died in military detention. that's at least 20,000 young men and boys, including 9-year-olds arrested on suspicion of being boko haram members and tortured. amnesty said the findings are based on years of research and nationals of evidence, including leaked military reports, as well as interviews with more than 400 victims, eyewitnesses and senior members of the security forces. it comes as the new nigerian president travels to tigers and chad both accused the military of not cooperating

they have spoken out and they have reject daish's ideology. in the arab word, it's important that the voice discrediting daish be a muslim voice and the face discrediting daish be an arab face. >> general john allen addressed the u.s.-islamic world forum in qatar. >> hundred was migrants found drifting in a crowded bowed landed in western myanmar. the town is where most of the percent cute minority rohingya live. it is not clear if the migrants on this bolt are rohingya. they were found stranded in the sea five days ago. let's look at the rohingya people. they are a muslim ethnic group mostly in buddhist majority myanmar. they are often called the world's most percent cute minority. they are denied citizenship freedom to travel and education. nearly 120,000 of them have tried to leave by boat in the last three years. neighbors countries have in the past turned them away. a research fellow at the overseas development institute who's work focuses on sectarian violence in myanmar joins us. lillian, i understand you have recently come back from in

daish having already sold antiquities to get more money. we need to fight all this. >> so, those are the views from that summit in paris. let's go live to baghdad. while that talk was going on, emron, what's happening on the ground today? >> we've seen more attacks, one in fallujah and one in ramadi. that brings up the number to at least 400 who have died. for the most casual of observers, it might seem that isil do have the upper hand in anbar province. that's not to say that the iraqi security forces are on the back food. they have taken territory and they are fighting back. one of the big things that the isil are using are these car bombs. now, this is a real big issue. you heard my colleague there talk about the americans speeding up anti tank weapons as a way of combat these car bombs. there's script six here in baghdad that the americans will deliver those weapons anytime soon. the americans have promised for a very long time speeding delivery and it just hasn't happened so the skepticism among the baghdad military circles that the am

1,000 anti tank rockets to help the iraqi security forces deal with these large truck bomb that is daish has used in ramadi and elsewhere. we'll continue to expect them to be good custodians of equipment. >> thank you very much for your thoughts on that. >> the senate failed to pass legislation extending powers to monitor millions of telephone calls and emails. republican senator rand paul led the push against american surveillance program. >> tonight against the persist of ending bulk collection. the government after this bill passes will no longer collect your phone records. my concern is that the phone companies still may do the same thing. >> we're live now in washington d.c. what happens next? will civil liberty groups be celebrating long? >> probably not. the u.s. senate is coming back into session in three hours' time and they'll start bedebating an alternate version of the law that would allow surveillance measures to continue but end the government's bulk data collection of phone calls by u.s. citizens, including me. what this means is that the senate would have to start talking

of the taliban including some who claim allegiance to the islamic state of iraq and the levant or daish as the locals call it. >> there's no doubt in the past two to three days several foreign fighters have been killed. >>reporter: the deputy chief of the army says his forces have new powers in this fight. >> the president of afghanistan, the head of the forces has given us the authority for night operations. we can enter any house. >>reporter: it's not just the army fighting. afghan local policemen like these are on the front line and they say they cannot compete with an enemy that's better armed and equipped. >> for two nights and three days they fought with us. the government didn't support us. the enemy surrounded us. the enemy was really strong. they had good arms and heavy weapons. we ran out of ammunition and then we had to leave. >>reporter: this week the taliban released a video of its fighters showing off what they had captured. the taliban has gone from one district here but still must be driven out from adjoining areas. the taliban fighters are also in control of areas of ba

. >> we sent a strong military force from the middle east to hit daish from the air and try to assist the iraqi army to retake their own country. we are talking with friends and partners about how the air strikes might be more effective, and how the iraqi forces might be better helped. american leadership is indispensable here, as in all the world's travel spots. >> at home we try to ensure that australians don't leave this country to join the 15,000 foreign fighters in syria and iraq. >>> wayne hay sent an update from sydney. >> reporter: the theme of the summit is challenging terrorist propaganda, and challenging what is on the internet. i.s.i.l. is believed to send out tens of thousands of messages every day, hoping to attract new recruits to its fight. australia has been concerned about its citizens heading to iraq and syria to join i.s.i.l., so far it's believed around 100 australian citizens have done that. there's a lot of discussion at the 2-day summit about a community led response. governments in this region including australia, have been busy passing tougher anti-terror law

fortune fighters, including some who claim allegiance to islamic state of iraq and the levant, or daish as the locals call it. >> there's a conflict between the taliban and isil. we can't confirm they are fighting alongside the taliban here, but in the past days several foreign fighters have been killed. >> the army has no powers in the fight. >> the president of afghanistan, head of the armed forces has given us the authority for operations. we can enter any house, shame on the foreign fighters, they brought the women with them and at the moment -- >> it's not just the army fighting. afghan policemen are on the front line and say they can't compete with an enemy better armed and equipped. >> for two nights and three days, they fought with us. the government didn't support us. the enemy surrounded us. the enemy was really strong, had good arms, heavy weapons. we ran out of ammunition, then we had to leave. >> the taliban released a video of its fighters, showing off the district buildings and police vehicles they captured. the army said the taliban went from one district but still must

use the group's arabic name, he made an attention grabbing claim "we recorded an enormous lass for daish, more than 10,000 since this campaign started and this will eventually have an effect." since last august, the anti isil coalition has carried out more than 4,000 bombing raised, but the defense department can't confirm the figure of 10,000 dead. the military has avoided so-called body counts for decades. they were widely used during the vietnam war but later discredited. today, the view is that they are often wrong and even when they're accurate are a poor guide for who is winning the conflict. the conflict against isil may be a good example of that, even if the 10,000 dead claim is true, it doesn't seem to have slowed down the group's worldwide recruiting efforts. isil's strength is 20,000 to 32,000 fighters. >> analysts say body count numbers could be compiled from different sources including satellite imagery reports from part nurse on the ground and isil's own claims. critics point out none of those methods are very accurate. deputy secretary blinken has yet to expound on why he

other groups and not trying to decide the pledge of allegiance to al qaeda or pledge allegiance to daish. it may bring to somalia the same approach we have seen with vocal for rob in nigeria. you can go of course olivia and see what is happening in libya again not only the issue of establishing institutions, but also the question of the opportunity these extreme violent groups have seized and now has taken a huge amount of territory with the implication that they mentioned earlier on migration and the impact this has in europe. so something that is happening in africa that starts from far away now has a direct impact in europe and has created a strong reaction in the people and governments of europe with a great deal of concern. out of libya you can go to mali and again molly has a situation of a mix of extreme groups allegiances to different groups a shifting reality that has made our nation and mali be the target to these groups and we have lost the nation that has a little bit over a year more than 70 peacekeepers already. that shows to you how much we have to become on our own. all o
