it presents itself as the islamic state. tries to construct kind of a utopia, and this is based on the idea of sunni identity and telling the muslims look the religious establishment has failed you and the expansion of the state system. come and join the islamic state. it struck an alternative than the alternative is based on this myth or utopia. in fact the reason i says represents the rest of the system is it challenges the nation-state. that's why this is very important. mosul is the second largest city captured by isis in june of 2014. it released a video in arabic call to abolish in borders in which isis in very direct language told sunni muslims to destroy the border basically set up at the colonial powers between 1916 and 1920s and establish a new order based on identity, sunni identity and that's why isis in the video which shows isis destroying the border between iraq and syria. even many muslims who do not subscribe to the ideology of the salafi to hodus him take seriously the idea of the failed system, the institut

state. the president of the united states meeting with his national security team at the pentagon today to discuss the islamicat the united states is and is not doing at this point to try to deal with islamic state, which the republicans have said is the number one threat facing the united states. donald trump making those remarks earlier this week. the president of the united states, at one point, this was perhaps a couple years ago, he referred to islamic state as a j.v. team, a bunch of thugs riding in the back of abandoned cars and tanks terrorizing people, but as we have seen, the reach of islamic state has expanded across the globe. we have had incidents in france, incidents in other places around the world. the islamic state has claimed responsibility, and in areas where they have not, officials in those localities have said the attacks have borne the hallmarks of the islamic state. we here at bloomberg television are awaiting remarks and the president of the united states. this is a live shot of the podium. an update on what the president is expected to say -- he is expected to tell the united states

ankara has blamed the islamic state. e: let's bring in tom stevenson covering this story from istanbul. we have heard syrian rebels aligned with turkey have taken a village from the islamic state. what more can you tell us? >> that's right. the tanks have crossed the borders. we had the artillery fired. this 1500 fighter force which has been stationed in turkey with turkish support. syrian fighters have taken a village. there are some skirmishes taking place outside the city but they are preparing for the assault itself. we know the village has been taken with relative certainty beense photographs have posted by some of the fighters. there were some suspicions that among the 1500 fighter force were islamist fighters including that force. the identity of some of these fighters is going to draw criticism from those who are uncomfortable working with jihadist fighters. isetheless the turkish force just about on the edges of the city now getting ready for the assault. thinkingrt of turkey's in this assault is that it will kee

it ended up being the bloodiest muslim holy month in recent memory. islamic state group supporters have launched attacks in france, belgium, germany, and turkey, amongst others. are regional correspondent has been following the story from beirut. you told us more about the latest setback for the islamic state group. >> the situation in northern syria is extremely complicated. at the moment, the turkish forces who recently became collocatedly further the situation. it was those turkish special forces and other aligned military forces who took back the town of jerod bless from the is -- of jarablus. the same turkish forces have also been fighting against the kurds in the area. at the moment, there is a lull in that fighting in which the u.s., who is allied to both sides battling each other, is hoping will hold and will turn into a stronger cease-fire so that each can turn their attention on islamic state group rather than fighting one another. however, that it is not something we're likely to see since they have made it clear from their perspective that they are ever

donald trump takes aim at the so-called islamic state with a major speech on security. the republican candidate tells crowds he will shut down isis on social media and that he will work with nato and russia to defeat them on the ground. the speech marks trump's attempt to stop his slide in the opinion polls. also coming up, another french seaside resort banned the so-called burkini, a modest swimsuit popular with muslims. and finally, kidnapped as a newborn and raised by strangers. the incredible case of a girl in capetown, as the woman she thought was her mother is sent to jail. sarah: i'm sarah kelly, welcome to the program. last week, donald trump said that barack obama and hillary clinton found the -- founded the islamic state. this week, he's telling america how to shut the terrorist organization down. in a major security speech in ohio, trump laid out his plans to fight the islamist group on all fronts. in a moment, we will cross live to d.w.'s richard walker for analysis. first, let's hear the tough words he had on u.s. immigration policy under a trump presidency.

last week turkish forces seized the city from the islamic state group. the u.s. envoy has said that clashes in areas where the islamic state group is not present are unacceptable. >> ankara had a stark warning, pullback or face the consequences. >> as the u.s. from a stinson pg need to cross east of the euphrates as soon as possible. if they do not it will become a target. backed forcesish moved in and in effect to retake northern towns and villages from islamic state. that has left them butting heads with protection units. it is an ethnically arab region. t-rex pg is forcing everyone house -- out. the effort ton that -- it isency suggested that the turkish president may have an alternative -- an alternate motive. >> the kurds are gaining ground along the syria side of border with turkey. want togan does not cross the state next to the border. reporter: increasing casualties have left the u.s. in a diplomatic bind. the ually ypg -- backs ypg. are pursuing their own objectives. they have consolidated the gains they have made in recent weeks and have accused ankara

molly: the islamic state group is weakening but will remain a threat to the united states. that was the message from barack obama after he met with national security advisers at the pentagon. the u.s. president said even after i.s. is pushed from strongholds in iraq and syria, it will be capable of inspiring lone wolf attacks that are harder to detect and prevent. martin pollard has more. the u.s. president knows a wave of attacks recently by the islamic state group has created fear. so following a meeting with his national security council in arlington, he sought to reassure. isil has not had a major successful offensive operation in either syria or iraq in a full year. their leaders know they will keep losing. martin: they have lost half of their territory in iraq and 20% in syria, say u.s. officials, thanks to efforts on the ground by local forces and from the air by the u.s.-led coalition. this week the u.s. took the fight to libya. they aimed to use airstrikes to help local local city from islamic state group proponents of the u.s.-led coalition bombing campaign will f

there have been arrests over the past month of supporters of the islamic state in germany. this is a success in light of the recent attacks we have seen. two of the attacks were carried out by asylum-seekers that were radicalized by the islamic state while they were living in germany. authorities are keeping a very close eye othe lone wolves, aggressors, and apparently there are 900 of those at the moment here in germany. sarah: we are awaiting more information on this but what we know so far, a 24-year-old syrian. charlotte potts, thank you for your reporting on this. a new wave of a violent unrest has broken out in ethiopia as angry citizens accuse the government of human rights abuses and repression of ethnic minorities. isolated protests are continuing good witnesses say they have reached their peak over the weekend, with massive demonstrations across the country. as many as 100 of the demonstrators paid with their lives. reporter: hundreds of people marched through the streets to vent their anger and government repression. they chanted slogans demanding the release of p

mobility from the bomber and force other type of 11 crews. >> and how about the war against the islamic state? obviously that's a very airpower driven conflict entirely on the u.s. side. what is the pilot shortage -- how is that impacting the islamic state war? >> well, consider currently units at 100% so -- >> if the problem continues, could that change? >> it could change. it could change in the near term unmitigated. like i said, we're taking risk in the staff positions in this fighter pilot crisis and it could translate into we don't have enough in about 18 months to fully man those frontline operational squadrons. so the fight against the islamic state is one part of what we do. the air force is required to be able to defend the homeland, to defeat an adversary and deny an adversary and we do that in support of the defense planning guidance through a number of different measures. as you know, we're fighting the cricket, which is china -- not fighting china but we're deterring an adversary. our focus has been china, russia, iran and korea in addition to the fight on counterterrorism, and

three for the islamic state state. , syria and now libya. the whole middle east for 15 years we have been fighting radical islamists and we haven't gotten it right. first we are going to fight them over there so we don't have to fight them over here. obama sold out and he pulled back out and pulled back in pulled back into the abyss to figure to figure this out and i think what trump says we have wasted trillions and we have sacrificed so many american lives in pursuit of something we have yet to win. lou: or is no question. a long war, david petraeus hailed as a genius of some kind for saying there such a doctrine is the long war. well my gosh the pentagon has certainly demonstrated its capacity for a long war, exhausting men and equipment. >> and losing. lou: and gaining nothing. does anybody at these academies, military academies teach a victory to these young officers? i mean does anybody? >> we have not gone in to fight a war to win a war other than maybe grenada really since world war ii. that's one of most frustr

it belongs to the golden days of early islam. the first islamic state, the prophetic state of mohammed, it looks at the past and wants to impose the past on the present. it is the marriage between the ultra conservative, utopian idea and jihadism which is a radical egyptian ideology. the ideology goes back to the 1960s and in the current form it was born in the valleys of afghanistan during the u.s. struggle against the soviet union and the west. it is the marriage between bin laden and egyptian jihadism. and this among with other affiliates are part of the jihadist family. they are part of the family pool, the gene pool. to come back to the question about the economic theory this is very, very important question. i am not suggesting -- i would not suggest that economic drivers are the most significant factor behind the rise of other al-qaeda central or al-qaeda and iraq and isis. but i would say is that you cannot understand the spectacular surge of isis without understanding what i call the massive developmental failure. and the massive developmental

we are hearing that the islamic state group fled the city. group hasamic state held it since 2013, giving it a valuable asset to the fighters in and out of syria. the kurdish fighters have been the most effective force against the jihadists so far but they could stick a claim to the territory on turkeys border. turkey and the u.s. vice president gave reassurances, urging their primary ally to cross back over the euphrates. >> they must move back across the river. they cannot, will not, and under no circumstances get american support if they do not keep that commitment. a --e order will come to come as a blow to the kurds. thee: here in france, burqini has made waves after france wants to campaign to bear the swimwear. -- band the swimwear. court needs to consider a complaint against the b. police photo of french forcing a muslim woman to remove her longsleeved swimwear sparked outrage, highlighting france's latest struggle with religious inclusion. right-wing parties have banned it saying it was an inappropriate display of religion. excuse to

we believe the group is not directly related to islamic state militants or al qaeda, but it is actives a terrorist group using the names and ideologies of the islamic state. >> reporter: this is a list of missing young people who police suspect may have joined radical groups. one of them was seen as someone far apart from radicalism. here is the same man at a younger age making an appearance on tv. the son of a prominent bangladesh, he was college educated and had a good job but something changed. >> reporter: this video is believed to have been shot in a part of syria which is controlled by the islamic state group. it's thought the young man entered turkey three years ago on his way to syria after lying to his family. to stop people from radicalizing, there is also a peer battle being waged. this is a video bangladesh police made after last month's attack. police warn that extremists try to brainwash students by taking advantage of their emotional wounds or sense of guilt for having taken alcohol or drugs. >> translator: recruiters of terrorist organizations observe targeted students

one of his requests from the local law enforcement was to have an islamic state flag. s part of the negotiating process they were trying to fight an islamic state flag and they contacted some members of the muslim community at best them, could you fight an islamic state flag? it turned out after the attack was over the next few days, law enforcement actually rated the homes of those people who the muslim community members had contacted, to get an islamic state flag that caused tension between the communities but also we can ask ourselves is a legitimate to worry about somebody who has an islamic state flag? i would say yes. second, in terms of way forward, when it comes to countering radical messages it is sort of the private sector that has to lead the way. the government is just not credible when it comes to trying to counter radicalization messages. i think the recently announced department of homeland security program to provide 10 million in grants to private organizations are working on countering radicalization and violent extremism, this is a step in the right d

they begin to advance, the militants of so-called islamic state. forces loyal to the libyan unity are in position and close to gaining control of sirte. the last districts still under isis control. islamic state hopes the headquarters in sirte will provide a base to launch attacks .nto your -- into europe but now the estimates are about three pushed out. -- about to be pushed out. the commander here says i.s. no longer has the manpower to hold the city. >> all the area in front of us is under i.s. control. you can see them from here. districts number one and three. within a few days we will take over all this area. reporter: but the fight isn't over yet. i.s. militants reply with sniper fire and suicide bombs, stopping the advance. the military spokesman told us that they had expected these attacks, and he is confident with his men's progress. >> now in control of 75% of fighters3, and i.s. have retreated towards the coast. the fighting in district one is still intense, but we will a lot stop -- we will not struggle to get the job done. reporter: th

a few kilometers from the border, jarablus had been held by the islamic state group since 2013. was a strategic transit point for moving weapons and fighters into syria. turkey's first major ground assault into syria since the start of the country's civil war. driving the islamic state organization back from the border is not its only goal. turkey also seeking to prevent fromn-kurdish ypg forces creating a unified autonomous territory along the border. all the more urgent now, as the kurds have been making their own advanced towards jarablus in recent days. the u.s. navy has confirmed it fired three warning shots towards iranian vessels in the persian gulf this week. officials say they fired the shots after the fast attack approached american navy vessels. they say they were in international waters at the time. china is continuing its to fire defense of territory it is claimed in the south china sea, sending the first group of lighthouse watchmen. top military officials vowing that beijing will never stop building in the sea. this propping criticism from the united states and ot

he was planning on joining the islamic state. leveraging the community, and getting the capacity which they have, building bridges, also, allowing for opportunities to insert informants, undercover agents there is some tension between on the one hand reaching out to the community and then concurrently targeting them, but that's at least the approach that's being utilized at the point. also different cve programs and again, there are a number that have been utilized both here and internationally with mixed success. some attempts to offer offramps for these folks that don't allow for an nexus with law enforcement, there's a higher likelihood. a example calms, mr. anaji did two trips to syria and provided different military supplies and other assistance to the islamic state, and was actually a tip from the muslim community in new york, saying that this guy was very aggressive, trying to find other adherens to the islamic state. then the role of the private sector. these people are not phantoms. they need to buy different products and

donald trump says president obama is the founder of islamic state. the clinton campaign says that is false as she turns to her plans to lead the economy. we will talk to a woman who knows what it means to top the podium. laura: welcome to our viewers on public television in america and around the globe. the united nations says it is investigating reports of a chlorine gas attack in the besieged syrian city of aleppo. the u.n. says such an attack would amount to a war crime. the syrian government denies any involvement. our middle east correspondent quentin sommerville has this exclusive report on one victims say was the aftermath of the attack. a warning, it contains disturbing images from the start. quentin: in this war without mercy, a baby' first breaths can be his last. the shock of a chemical attack brought him into the world. his umbilical cord is still attached as he struggles for life. we don't know his name, but we do know that these doctors in aleppo saved his life last night. hospitalme here to the in the rebel-controlled east. as the medic

turkey's foreign minister vowed to battle the islamic state group. >> ( translated ): we'll fight against islamic state and other terrorist organizations until the end. and we'll continue to support countries and forces who are also fighting it. as you know, the syrian opposition's operations at our border were concluded successfully. and of course our border needs c to be completely cleansed of isis. >> woodruff: isis has yet to officially claim responsibility for the wedding massacre. but they've been blamed for similar attacks in the country in the past. in the philippines: there's bees a dramatic spike in the number of people killed as part of all crackdown on drugs. it began after new president rodrigo duterte took office seven weeks ago. nearly 1,800 drug suspects have now been killed.av 712 of them died in police clashes. that's up from 525 earlier this month. and more than a thousand othern people were killed by vigilantee groups. tokyo was battered by heavy rain and strong winds today after a powerful typhoon made landfall just south of the japanese capital. some 500,000 resident

signs of a more active role in the fight against the islamic state. at are the implications of this? guest: the implications are quite serious. the u.s. has been pushing turkey for a long time to get more active in the fight against the islamic state. we saw the turkish military in a matter of hours went and and with the syrian army behind them they took the city that have been held by the islamic state for more than three years. that is the significant development. there are underlying tensions as well with their long-time strategic objective, contradicting those of the u.s.. a want to contain the expansion of the syrian kurdish fighters. yousef: the markets took a hit yesterday. financials taking quite a knock down 2.5%. concerns about the refunding cost. how are investors going to react for geopolitical risks as we're coming back on domestic political risks? >> if there is one thing we have seen in the past year, they are remarkably resilient. .he stock market did fall it was down by 1.6%. the leader was actually up and it continues to rise against

the coast of libya. thank you for joining us. islamic state says the spokesman has been killed in syria. he was one of the longest-serving officials. this news comes to us from a news agency run by the jihadists. what more can you tell us about the deathth? roque..: this news just we heard reportsts in the last hour that the spokespererson of islamic state in syria was killed in aleppo. we do not t ow how he e was killed. reports are not confirmed that he was killeled in an airstrike. he w was not directlyy targeted, this suggegests. it is a significant blow to the islalamic state. he is more than just a spokespeperson. he is onone the most senior peoe inin syria. he is the propaganda chief, military planner, and d an excellent orator. year,r, hedan this encouraged folollowers of islamc state to carry out attacks during the mononth and he became infamous for calling for attacks on western targets. it is a loss for islamic state and entities from the united states and the syrian government who are fighting that group, the question is what happens next and how islamic statate will respond

commander in the fight against isis says the military campaign has decimated the islamic state's ranksers off the battlefields. lieutenant general sean mcfarland says isis may now have as few as 15,000 militants left in iraq and syria and that those men are more poorly trained. mcfarland says they no longer put up much of a fight and he said "the enemy is in retreat on all fronts." but he cautions that, as isis loses ground, it will morph into more of a terrorist organization. >>> "healthcheck" at 11:00 tonight, you've heard of the phrase fighting fire with fire. well, now new research supports the idea of using peanuts to fight peanut allergies. it's called immuneo therapy. the idea is to build up the body's tolerance under medical supervision by exposing patience to small amounts of peanut protein. the treatment has been successful in older children but a new study tested it with infants and toddlers who have just been diagnosed with peanut alers. four out of five babies were able to eat peanuts safely. new -- more research needs to be done. >>> all right, meteorologist cecily tynan

in various places in europe, and elsewhere, have been sort of the lashing out of an organization that knows that the state part of the islamicng ground. but that's not an adequate answer for the american people who are very concerned given the incident that have happened both in our country and overseas so i expect him to discuss that in all phases. >> already affected sales for hotels across europe, flights. seen people address it, too. unfortunately what the repetition of it, not the fact of one or two vicious attacks, it's now the fact that people start to think do i want to change my plans? >> absolutely, no. finally able to measure this, too. a lot of european economies suffering. i think the eurozone about 10% get it is gdp from tourism and this summer you're seeing measurable declines. >> i mean, just the uncertainty in general. so many things going on in europe and with the u.k. and brexit and that sort of thing. and currency and it's already been a slow grower to begin with and this on top of it. zika. the whole thing. really just very challenging environment over there right now and that's why you're seeing all thi

reporter: the turkish president has made it clear that the so-called islamic state is not turkey fosse only target. they see syrian kurds as dangerous because of their links to militant waging an insurgency. ice president joe biden was in ankara to support the government and reiterate that they must return to the east side of the euphrates river. mr. biden: let me make it absolutely clear to those who are part of the syrian forces that participated that they must move back across the river. they cannot, will not and under no circumstances get american support if they do not keep that commitment. reporter: turkey saysys it will keep forces, watching so-called islamic state and another it leaves is an enemy in the syrian kurds. terry: dorian jones is covering this story from the stumble. what can you tell us about the scope of this offensive? guest: the first objective of ththe turks has been successfsfl with syrian rebels taking the town center and engaged in mopping up operations. islamimic state didid not put uy fight at all and decided to just cucut and runun. the key question is the

. >> government forces scored a victory against the islamic state. forces recaptured a large .omplex city center 10 days ago, there were airstrikes helping the troops move in. we have more. >> a big victory for libyan forces. they manage to oust the islamic state group. the group has been in control of the coastal city since february, 2015. there was a big push that sought fighters retake a hospital and the university. forces loyal to the government began operations to expel the fighters back in may. the campaign has slowed as libyan forces came to face a series of obstacles such as snipers and booby-trapped buildings. that is when the libyan government asked for international assistance. airstrikes have hit a series of targets in the city. special forces teams are operating and providing intelligence and support for the libyan forces. the city has not been completely liberated. several areas remain in the hands of the militants. a major setback and it would give a boost to the government, which has struggled to impose the party and unify the country.

the two attackers, both aged 19, have pledged allegiance to the islamic state group. th were shot dead by police after a tense hostage situation in which one worshiper was seriously wounded. the attacks have shopped -- have shocked france. thanountry is home to more 5 million muslims. however, the communities have rallied together to keep such tensions at bay. across the country open their doors to muslims who attended catholic mass in a show of solidarity. the murder comes just two weeks after the best deal they attack in nice, which left 82 dead. the government has closed 20 mosques they considered to be preaching radical islam, but recent attacks in france have raised many questions about the government bought security failures. -- the government security failures. tomany come here in paris pay tribute to the victims, but some local visited -- residents are complaining that the square and hasme unsightly been ruined by ugly graffiti and protest slogans. this report on a massive cleanup. >> this iconic square in the east of paris became known as the central place of

, the islamic state is striking back? >> that is part of it. as you and i have talked before, this is an attempt by isis to put pressure on the turkish state and try to divide kurds from turks. it really shows in stark relief the threats that turkey faces and also the questions about how they will respond. it makes vice president biden's visit on the 24th of august even more important than before. katty: the turks have gotten involved in a war in syria that seems to have no end. how does this anend for turkey? >> one of the important statements in the past couple days is the turkish prime minister saying we need to get more involved and try to end this war in syria. that is certainly right. for a long time the policy was in many ways confused. i hope this is a clarifying event for them -- katty: you do have the unusual situation of the turkish government here seeming at least to defend kurdish communities? is that how it looks to you, possibly? they are having to on their border. >> and one of the things that is most impor
