Gain controlemists of mosul, i met a rocks secondbiggest iraqs secondbiggest city. In an exclusive interview, the leader of the United Nations tells me the dire consequences if a political solution in syria does not come soon. It will be a fatal mistake. And, capturing a candid view of new york. Armed with his camera and instagram account, this photographer is making quite an impression. Welcome to our viewers on Public Television in america and around the globe. Isqs second city of mosul under the control of islamist militants you are allies of al qaeda who are allies of al qaeda. Members of the Iraqi Armed Forces have abandoned their posts. It comes as a major blow to the government in baghdad, which responded by calling for a state of emergency to be declared. , a wealthy sophisticated city, is collapsing into violence and destruction. Vehicles abandoned and burning by the roadside comes the sound of ammunition exploding. Like aingly, iraq seems country at war with itself. Qaedasts from the al affiliate known as the Islamic State in iraq and the levant are in charge now. People have left for their homes left from their homes. Will iraq accept this . The army dissolved. They were terrified. They fled, so we left, too. The commanders were the first to flee, leaving the soldiers alone. The commanders are to blame. No order, no discipline, no hope. In the last few days, tens of thousands of people have escaped from this part of northern iraq. The danger is iraq could break into Component Parts, sunni, shia, and kurdish, with unknown consequences for the people who live here. And the government of Nouri Almaliki, this is a critical moment. The situation has been getting worse all year. In january the key town of falluja was taken over by extremists affiliated with al qaeda. They are still there. In february there were elections , but no government has yet been formed. In this power vacuum the gunmen are thriving. Almost daily, bombings are ignored in the outside world. In may alone 800 died. In december 2011, American Forces quietly left iraq after eight years. Thousands of western troops had died and hundreds of thousands, maybe more, iraqis. This is an opportunity for iraq to forge ahead on the path to security and prosperity. But today the view from washington of the islamist threat was a lot more realistic. The threat is not just a threat to iraq or the stability of iraq, but a threat to the region. In iraq itself, a weak government is struggling to hold the country together, and the second city is in fundamentalist hands. The americans and british are not likely to come back. Iraq is on its own. John simpson, bbc news. For more on the followup mosul followup fall of mosul, i asked our guest. Tell us more about the state of preparedness of the iraqi forces. It tells us about the extent of ambition isis Islamic State of iraq and syria has. They are willing to attack the secondlargest city, one that would have serious offenses. Leader, us about its who was now far and away the most dangerous man in the world, the most successful terrorist leader possibly in modern times. Iraq split into Component Parts . People have predicted that and have been proven wrong. I believe iraq can hold together as a country, but the fact that its second biggest city can fall to a terrorist Group Suggests a lot needs to be done, repairing relations between the sunni and shia, kurds and arabs, before the country can return to normal. Did the u. S. Decision to fully withdraw from iraq healthy extremists . Is certainly did, but it is not as if the u. S. Had a choice in the matter. The government of Nouri Almaliki wanted the americans to leave. They gave assurances to the iraqi people that they can keep terrorists at bay after the americans left. They have patently failed. Is a the refusal of the government to share power with sunnis that is driving the resentment . It certainly created the atmosphere in which isis drive could drive, but their leader has greater ambition. He sees himself as an emir, a modern ruler who holds territory. That is what makes him unique. Osama bin laden did not hold and rule territory. What he is trying to create is more analogous to the taliban when it ran afghanistan. He is trying to create a country. The u. S. Is calling for a strong coordinated response, but who is going to leave that . Clearly not the u. S. It would have to be the iraqis who take the lead, and they have not proven themselves a very good at it. Not just in mosul, but in other parts of the country as well. A rallying cry from the u. S. Will not have a great impact on the ground. This is going to be a matter of how well iraqi forces can rally around their leadership and put up a serious challenge. It will depend on the kurdish militias, some of whom are absorbed into the iraqi military, some of whom are still outside, and what they do. They regard mosul as an important city as well. Americans seeing the fall of mosul may ask, what was the invasion of iraq for . We have seen the fall of falluja, which resonates in this country because it was a place were two huge battles were fought. I was watching and one of them. American blood and treasure was expended in trying to expel these, the forebears of these very same terrorists. And yes, as an american it does make you wonder what that blood and treasure was shed in aid of. Thank you so much for joining us. For the second day, karachi was a scene of assault near pakistans biggest airport. Gunmen fired at a Training Camp used by Security Forces just outside the airport perimeter. The Pakistani Taliban says it was responsible, and claims it was behind the monday attack at the cargo terminal that left 30 people dead. A new gunfight today on the edge of pakistans busiest airport. The target was a building close to the airport perimeter used by the specialist Airport Security force for training and weapons storage. The clash erupted when two gunmen tried to enter the security building, firing shots. They then fled as the army and Police Brought in reinforcements and fought back as they pursued them over an hour. At the moment, the situation is 100 under control. No terrorist is present in the area. No one has penetrated security. We are operating normally. Pakistans Prime Minister nawaz sharif called for the attackers to be eliminated. Today the bodies of seven more victims from sundays attack were returned. They took refuge in a cold Storage Building and died before they could be rescued. There are tragic echoes of the cycle of violence that accompanied taliban militancy at months after, only peace negotiations made a halting start. Bbc news, islam about islamabad. The u. S. And iran held negotiations over tehrans Nuclear Program for the second straight day in geneva. Right now the two sides remain far apart. Does the leader of the United Nations hold out hope they will be an agreement by july 20 . During an exclusive interview, i asked secretarygeneral ban kimoon about that and the chances of reaching a political solution to end the crisis in syria. Do you think it is realistic for iran and world powers to reach an agreement on irans Nuclear Program by the end of july . I hope the july 20 deadline will be met, and im urging both parties to work even harder. At the same time, the most recent iaea report states they have been rather assured cooperation from the iranian side. If iran is serious about wanting a peaceful program, why . They have repeatedly said they are committed to peaceful resolution of the Nuclear Development program, so they have to show now their sincerity. Another topic, secretarygeneral. Lakhdar brahimi says syria will become a failed state run by warlords. Is he right . It is true syria has been destroyed by fighting between t wo parts of their own people. It is sad. If this continues this way, it will be a failed state. Before its too late, we have defined a political solution. President assad just won reelection in the elections widely denounced as being a sham. He seems to have the upper hand militarily. Does president assad want a political solution at this point . I believe he knows that there is only a political solution. There is no military option. I have been making that consistently clear together with lakhdar brahimi. I am urging that the two parties should sit down together. The u. N. Is ready to resume the third geneva conference. You said it is shameful that more than 200,000 people in syria are living under siege. Why is it that you do not create more urgency . I have been working very closely with the Security Council members, particularly the permanent members. I know the Council Members on our urging have tabled a draft resolution which will facilitate crossborder humanitarian assistance. I sincerely hope the Security Council will adopt this resolution as soon as possible. The Security Council passed a resolution saying humanitarian aid was delivered should be delivered, and it was completely ignored. What difference can this make to the people of syria . It is very frustrating that the Security Council has not been able to adopt this very important decision. When it comes to humanitarian assistance, the Security Council should be more united. Millions now accommodated as refugees, almost 3 Million People, half the population. 9. 5 Million People have been affected either by Government Operations or opposition. We are determined to push for humanitarian assistance. Does the suffering in syria keep you awake at night . It is sad. I am really sorry to see all these refugees and people and particularly children. When i met many Young Children in refugee camps, i was wonde ring what their future will be. And what will they be thinking about us, our generation . Why they have to suffer this kind of a tragedy. Not because of it really night. E awake every secretarygeneral, thank you very much. Thank you. Such a great pleasure. In other news, police in the state of oregon say a student has been shot dead at a high school.
