it allow mes me to work -- >> ivan joining us now from istanbul.s is pretty shocking stuff to our viewers. how all this unfold and what happened. >> we were doing a routine live report, as i had done kind of throughout the day, and as you can see, in the video, plainclothes police officers approached me, began asking for my identifications. they did not accept my yellow turkish press accreditation which is issued by the office of the prime ministry. they later said there had been many counterfeits so they asked for a second form of identification even though that press accreditation in turkey, you can actually use it to check in to domestic flights and hotels. it's accepted as a primary form of accreditation. they broke the microphone on our camera as they were shoving our camera man's camera down. i actually got kneed in the pose steerier as they were shoving me. i was held for about a half hour as they checked by identity. eventually, an officer apologized for basically another officer kicking me. but later on, they brought us a written document

istanbul needs to be tied into that. they need to be supportive. they don't need to try to micro manage it. i don't think the people inside syria are going to be mile row managed that way. that's another thing that has come out of what they call a revolution. there is a new level of decentralization in the way syrians manage themselves, organize and manage themselves. so but the opposition certainly, especially if they want more assistance from us, they, themselves are going to have to implement changes among their own ranks. >> was the obama administration informed by a certain risk version and war weariness that comes out of that part of the world and our experience in the 21st century? >> i don't think it's just the obama administration. last september, i went up to capitol hill many times with other members of the add miles per hourstration to talk to the congress about the assad's register e-mail of certainon gas on august 21st, that that had cross add red line and the u.s. needed to respond specifically but with force. and i have to tell you

they visited istanbul. the focus is on boosting trade. these neighbors need each other. they need each other's markets. turkey needs iran for natural gas and oil. it reliance on importing this natural resource. sanctions have been able to skirt those sanctions l he paying for oil and natural gas using gold. now that has upset the u.s. government but for turkey there is no going back. they need this project.

richard engle has more from istanbul, turkey. >> the iraqi government is lu losing control. some iraqi security forces are fighting but most appear to be stripping off their uniforms leaving them in the streets and abandoning their posts, weapons, and vehicles. they're retreating from islamic extremists who today got control of iraq's second largest city and advanced much further. thousands of civilians are fleeing the area living in tents. the u.s. fought a decade long war for this not to happen. the radicals are from an al qaeda offshoot. many are the same insurgents u.s. troops battled for years. now they're allied with militants from syria creating a single front. why is this happening? they ruled iraq for 13 centuries until the u.s. invasion toppled saddam hussein. they want their country back. they hate the shiite government which excluded them from power and there are no u.s. troops around anymore to stop them. we could be witnessing the start of a long civil war in iraq. and this is not just a problem for iraq and syria. these militants are also very anti-american. o

our senior international correspondent ivan watson is in istanbul, turkey. ivan, tell our viewers who you spoke with. >> this is iraq's former vice president. two years ago, he had to flee the country while still technically in office facing murder charges. he has since gotten numerous death sentences in an iraqi court in absentia. now, he blames this uprising on what he describes as the discriminatory policies of nuri al maliki against the sunni arab community, which hashami says he represents. so he has this strange position where he is both denouncing isis as a terrorist organization, but supporting the uprising against the iraqi government as a sunni arab response to discriminatory authoritarian policies by the government. take a listen to an excerpt from our conversation. do you support this isis offensive? >> not definitively. first of all, in fact, isis is just part of the spectrum. they're not representing the entire revolution. this revolution and clear-cut oppression, it's arab sunni community revolt. we do have a case. we reached a breaking point,

we'll have more from istanbul in a moment. first, this report from jonah hall >> reporter: turnout is not expected to be high, but those who do their ballot do so hoping for an end to the violence and lawlessness that has fwriped the country since the fall of omar gaddafi three years ago. >> translator: at this time we need brave men who will put the country before themselves. we will do our part and god willing we hope to have good and better people. >> reporter: but the hope that this election will bring stability to libya seems a for lorne one. it's the first national vote since 2011 and still there's no viable army or police force. the government is routinely ignored by former rebel groups and tribes vying for control of territory and the country's oil wealth. in the past they have kidnapped a prime minister, attacked the parliament and blockaded oil terminals. tensions are particularly high in the east. in libya's second largest city of benghazi. here, the former army general has declared war on religious fighting groups

now, live from istanbul, what kind of message is the government trying to send with this verdict? >> martin, what this means and the message it sends is that the military will still be held accountable here in turkey. over the last five years, hundreds of military officers have been arrested, tried, found guilty and jailed for connections to coup plots or attempts, at least to destabilize the country. you have in turkey a military that since the founding of the modern turkish state back in 1923, a military that has seen itself as the defenders of the secular nature, the secular turkish republic. since 2002, when the ruling party came to power, they have made a determined effort to clip the military's wings and sort of solidify civilian rule in this country martin. >> what kind of effect is this having on the military? >> well, you know, there are demoralized elements, it's fair to say, within the military because of this crackdown on their influence. but it's also turning the tu turkish military into essentially a defender of the country rather than a defender of the regime. so so

when the war broke out, the middle east was run from istanbul, by the sultan of the ottoman empire. they made one of the worst decisions in their history, they aligned themselves with germany, they picked the losing side. when germany lost, the ottoman empire became the victor's spoils, carved up by britain and france, who drew new borders with little regard for old ethnic and religious divisions. what is now iraq, was created from three ottoman provinces, one shiite, one sunni, one kurdish. the same regions that are now breaking apart. what is now syria is just a shadow of what it was under the ottoman empire, it was carved up too. the sunni militant group isis is now fighting to recombine those areas under its command. instability that has its roots in another war a century ago. the era these british soldiers fought and died to create is crumbling, like their tombstones here in baghdad. the middle east is violently reverting to what it was before. the map europeans drew for the middle east 100 years ago, is fading, and a much older system of ethnic and religious divisions is retur
