and revoked, time running out for the washington redskins. the world cup competition the reigning champs are going home. >> tonight, the latest battle in iraq is over oil. it's a fight for the country's biggest oil refinery and iraq's future. sunni rebels attacked the complex at bigi north of baghdad. iraq's government says its forces beat the rebels back but witnesses say the rebels control the refinery. a reaction from washington tonight. the pentagon says it's increased surveillance flights over iraq but how should the u.s. respond? randall pinkston is there. >> saying president obama had given congressional leaders an update on its efforts to help iraq. emphasizing that confronting the are threat from i.s.i.l. will require iraq's political leaders to come together. for more than an hour, president obama held a closed door meeting with congressional leaders. in a statement the whois said the president -- the white house said the president responded by urging iraqi leaders to set aside sectarian agendas and come together with national unity. with fighters from i.s.i.l. and other groups taking more territory, iraq made formal request for u.s. aid. a national security spokes woman says the president has not made a decision. on capitol hill a tense confrontation as republicans accused the obama administration of losing the gains u.s. forces made during nine years of war. >> i don't think we should assign the united states to blame for this. we go back to who is responsible for this? i.s.i.l, they invaded but also this current government in iraq has never fulfilled the commitments it made bringing the sunnies, the kurds and shia. >> to encourage reconciliation with all factions in iraq and to tell him president obama intends to link any u.s. military assistance to a unity government. but many observers are saying al maliki is not likely to comply. >> he is alienating the sunnies and the kurds. that really was a recipe for disaster. >> reporter: the obama administration insists there is little that can be done to save the iraqi people from their political leaders. and tonight, vice president biden is also involved in the iraqi cries you. he made phone calls to iraqi political leaders representing shia, sunni and kurds, in the fight against i.s.i.l. john .1. >> back to this oil refinery in iraq, about 130 miles north of baghdad. jane arath is following this, how significant is this fight over the bigi refinery? >> well, john it's pretty significant, not oonly because it's pretty close to baghdad but because this refinery is actually the biggest in iraq. it refines gasoline, kerosene and diesel. it is potentially a huge deal but having said that it is really not in the interests of the gunmen, the insurgents who have taken it over to actually stop it from running. because they're trying to portray themselves as good for the country, good for the people and they won't be wanting to stop the flow of fuel, john. >> because you spend a lot of time covering iraq you know the importance of oil to the country and the future of this country. based on that, what's the situation with refining oil in iraq right now based on what's going on in the country? >> reporter: well, if you take a look at oil prices, they've really only gone up pretty marginally and that generally means that oil exporting countries are betting that the second biggest producer in opec, the organization of are petroleum exporting countries isn't going to take a huge hit in those exports. that's primarily because the oil exporting is the south. it's the swath in north of iraq around kirkuk and places like that. so far they haven't suffered but clearly if this continues, and if the i.s.i.l. continues to make gains, then people are going to get pretty worried. >> so the big concern is about i.s.i.l. moving into baghdad. what do we know about that, what is the latest on that right now? >> well, that of course is the huge fear. i mean it's a fear of everyone pretty much but mostly it's a fear of those people who live in the green zone and that includes prime minister maliki, the u.s. embassy and most of the embassies are in there and most of the government. right now it looks like they're nowhere close. there is fighting open the western outskirts of baghdad, by abbu grahib. one of the things about past ten years, after the fall of saddam is that baghdad has pretty much become a shia muslim city. a lot of the sunni have left. that limits the gain that the i.s.i.l. can make in taking the entire capital. >> how has i.s.i.l. changed life in baghdad if any in the last few days? >> reporter: well, one of the things about baghdad really and iraq is things that seem completely untenable become sort of normal. in baghdad you can have a dozen car bombs go off and it doesn't really affect daily life unless it happens in your neighborhood. this is slightly different. because this almost has a feel of what it was like waiting for air strikes in 2003 or even before that. except this time it could be so much worse. it's really hard to exaggerate or overemphasize the historic nature of what's happened. all of these cities falling to sunni extremists. the iraqi government forces melting away, it is hugely worrying. in baghdad although they have a huge tolerance for risk and they've had a lot of sad experience with war, it is having an effect. there are long lines of gasoline stations. people are stocking up on food. prices have gone up. and if you try to get a seat out of the country at the airport, you're pretty much out of luck. because a lot of people who can leave are leaving. >> that's jane araf reporting from iraq, jane thank you. in the years after saddam hussein billions are dollars were spent training the new iraqi army. but many of those put down their weapons and fletd instead of staying to fight. dana lewis reports. >> just three short years ago, they were 300,000 strong. a new iraqi army which cost the u.s. $25 billion to equip and train. suddenly they seemed to crumble last week when i.s.i.l. forces seized many cities. estimates vary widely from five to 10,000. >> a lot of men in puc pickup trucks. the iraqi government forces ought to be able to defend it. >> reporter: but they dent defend against republican i don'rebellion.second division mn tikrit. and syria spears, an estimated 60 -- disappeared. an estimated 60% vanished, iraqi prime minister al-maliki said there's a lot more to it. he called the arrest an international conspiracy. he's fired four top commanders. the twhawbz escaped i.s.i.l. may have been bribed. many of them including sunni feel discriminated against by government and decided to change loyalties. politicized the army and its leadership replacing with sunni loyalists. >> also the alienation of the sunni community, that can be laid at prime minister maliki's door. >> reporter: and the assault by i.s.i.l. some believe may have been engineered, by wanted by america, who last year posted videos vowing to destroy what he called the persian government of al-maliki. many see this week's call for thousands of volunteers hardly comforting. it may only fuel what is rapidly becoming a sectarian war. no sectarian war or conflict between sunnies and shias, although the evidence seems to contradict him. he did however john appeal for unity when he made his national address. >> zana wadbi, she's the founder of women for women international, an organization that supports women in conflict zones and she's here in the studio. welcome zena. good to see you. >> good to see you. >> what's it like seeing this? >> very, very sad. i don't think in iraq's history do we have such a sad moment as today. everyone is nervous, depressed, fatalistic about the situation at the moment. >> are you able to contact your friends and relatives to see how they are? >> yes, i can talk with them on the phone, although internet has been cut off, facebook, twitter, all of these things. everyone is stock up on fuel and food, the streets of baghdad are empty. i just talked to my father this morning and everyone who is able to leave is leaving. what's most sad for me as an iraqi is for the first time people are talking about the division of the country as perhaps the way to go and that is a sad thing. >> were you happy to see the fall of saddam hussein, was that a happy day for your country? >> look, saddam was an oppressive dictator, there was no question about that. how to get rid of the oppressive dictator, was the question. i was one of the advocates to leave that change and not have an intervention of that. we have the americans, allies intervened and changed the situation in iraq. leading the situation, rakes irs still think we are going to intervene and help us. >> united states delivered that message loud and clear to the iraqi government. why didn't the iraqi government get the message? >> i think you know, i don't know. i know psychologically every time i speak with any iraqis, every time i visit in iraq, they still have the narrative that america is going to save us. and they haven't caught up with the narrative that america is seriously not interested. now america should be interested in what happens in iraq. that's the story. if iraq gets divided, that is a long lasting war between sunnies and shias and that's not in the interest of anybody. >> you heard the report, iraqi soldiers on the ground some changed by the united states of america who simply left their weapons and walked away from this. why does that happen? >> the difference between iraqis before and today, before our identity, our core identity was that we are iraqis. now that identity has shifted and the core identity of most individuals is, are you sunni or shia? that revival of sectarian feelings have only been revived in the last decade. can we reverse it? i believe we can, we have lived with each other for hundreds of years. we need leadership to actually bring back the unity of the country. >> this is not just in iraq. this battle between these two religious factions goes across your region right? >> it has. >> been going on for how long? >> yes but it has also been suppressed for hundreds of years, you know. in iraq for example, growing up there is something that what whether you are sunni or shia, you never talk about it in the meeting rooms, you never talk it at school or among the colleagues at work. >> when do you talk about it? >> when it comes to marriage. >> the vindictiveness of the attacks is horrible. >> around that's coming partially from extremist sunnies, and parl partly from extremist shias. >> some night say look, ten years, trillions of dollars spent trying to fight the war and rebuild iraq. what more does iraq want from the united states? >> look, this is a case of afghanistan during the taliban time. the i.s.i.l, just to give you an example, they just issued a law two days ago permitting sex of war. how many virgins are there in the household? this is no different than the beginning of fundamentalism. that's not good for america. >> when we're talking about the conflict and the impacts of i.t. on women in iraq? >> i mean, for the direction of the society, we have got to watch what happens to them, not only for protection of women's rights but they are going to tell us about the direction of the 61. now i.s.i.l, again as i said first thing they did is they say women's rule and this is literally, women's role ask behind the stove, cooking only, that women have to wear chadors only, and they are permitting virgins to have sex with their leaders, the mujic mujahadin. >> the moderates from the both sides are siding with the extremists for their own survival. >> and women suffer? >> every single woman i've talked with from iraq are scared, nervous for their well-being, safety, this is not a good situation. >> if the united states doesn't come the the rescue as you might describe it what happens? i mean what's next in this? is this going to be an all out bloody civil war? >> look, if someone is going ohave to intervene, if not the united states then for sure iran. and it is not good for iran. and i don't care if one is sunni or shia, it is not good for iran to enter iraq with its troops. not good for the region, not good for iraq and definitely not good for the sectarian. if it enters that will increase to the war in syria, in lebanon and once and for all we will have an out and out war for sunnies and shias, that is not in the interest of anybody particularly the united states. >> zena thank you for your insight. we appreciate it. >> thank you. iran has already deployed some of its members of the revolutionary guard. helping iraq in another way. iran's president housan rouhani says they are ready to fight for iraq. fought a war that killed more than a million people. to ukraine where the new president has called for a unilateral cease fire. one pro-russian leader reportedly called the proposal absurd. paul brennan reports. >> the prospect of a unilateral gesture comes as a surprise. a warning, this will be a short-lived offer, a limited opportunity for pro-russians to grasp. >> i can say that the period of cease fire will be rather short. we expect that the legal armed groups will then immediately disarm. order will be achieved, against marauders and bandits that are destabilizing the situation in the east. >> reporter: that instability and the worsening human rights crises in the eastern ukraine, the u.n. report published on wednesday, says the presence of armed people and weapons have increased, targeting journalists local politician he and activists. now torture is effectuating the broader population. protestant pastor sergei coshak was one of them. he was seized and beaten continuously for three hours by the pro-russian militia and his experience away not an isolated one. >> unfortunately human rights are not observed here. here the rights go to those who hold the guns. they do whatever they want. if they think that somebody is a threat to them they arrest him. if they think he's an enemy they beat him. >> reporter: what's most striking about this u.n. report is that page after page details the chronic effects of the conflict on the noncombatants. how delivery of medicine is becoming more difficult every day. delivery of food. help but just a drop in the ocean. these bags of clothes, nappies and other essentials, are delivered to the town of slovyansk. >> there is a humanitarian controversy. people there can't buy food or hygiene supplies. what we send is absolutely essential. >> the hope is that a unilateral cease fire could create a pause for thought in the increasingly entrenched conflict. there is no guarantee at all that the separatist leaders will agree to take part. paul brennan, al jazeera, donetske. >> there is confusion in afghanistan's presidential election. one of the men is demanding stop counting ballots. he doesn't trust election officials. jennifer glasse is in kabul. >> presidential candidate abdalla abdalla calling for the vote counting to stop. he has pulled his observers out of election offices and saying the accounting has to be stopped. for several days now he has been calling for a senior election official step found he says the system has been systematically rigged against him. after the second round of voting on saturday were exaggerated including the numbers in the rural areas. this could throw into doubt the presidential election whole process here. we were expecting results in late july and a new president was supposed to be nawlgte naugd in late august. a man prosecuted as a nazi for are extermination of thousands of jews. >> the horror of the holocaust has resurfaced by the arrest of a man in philadelphia, 89 years old, a guard at a nazi death camp. accused of kills hundreds of thousands of jews. on tuesday the retired tool maker was arrested at his home in philadelphia. he's wanted on a german warrant. it charges him with aiding an betting the killing of 216,000 jews. born in cheks lovakia. he claims service was involuntary and he was not involved in any deaths. now germany wants him extradited. this is part of a recent crack down by the german government on suspected war criminals, in their 80s and 90s. he avoided deportation then successfully argue that he was a natural born u.s. citizen because his mother was born in pennsylvania. his lawyer told the judge he's too frail to be detained. the judge disagreed, ordered him held without bail citing the serious nature of the crime. bryer's lawyers say he suffers from mild dementia. his grandson says he suffered strokes and has a heart condition. federal trademark board, regarding the washington re redskins name. more from john terret. >> good evening john. we've had some pretty high profile names recently calling for the redskins name to go. chief among them the president of the united states and the majority leader in the senate. today a government agency say it is inappropriate for redskins to be registered as a trademark. stripping the washington redskins of their name. other companies could be free manufacture and sell merchandise like team shirts shorts and coffee mugs potentially denting redskins and nfl profits. one of the native americans who brought the original case eight years ago said it's a great victory for native americans and for all americans. i hope this ruling brings us a step closer to that inevitable day when the name of the washington football team will be changed. the team's not too worried, the patent and trademark office has done this almost a dozen times in the last two decades. the redskins got their name back on appeal and they plan an appeal now too. the board cancelled the redskins trademark registrations. reversed the board. >> this is the nfl best of any professional sports league of protecting its properties. you're going osee other owners maybe putting pressure on the redskins. however the mark for redskins is worth almost $150 million. i don't think they're going to give that up that quick. >> reporter: nonetheless, first president obama said if he were a team owner he would think about changing it. majorities leader harry reid is boycotting the games. >> daniel schneider hay be the last -- may be the last person in the world to realize this. >> in blunt terms earlier this year the nfl can no longer ignore this and perpetuate the use of this name as anything but what it is, a racial slur. well john the redskins may have lost their name temporarily. nothing might have happened that would affect their business until the appeal process and that could last for years. john. >> john terret, thank you. the question of force and the shooting of a handcuffed suspect who later died. some say the video doesn't tell the whole story. culture of secrecy. the ignition problems, why it took so long to fix. fix. the performance review. that corporate trial by fire when every slacker gets his due. and yet, there's someone around the office who hasn't had a performance review in a while. someone whose poor performance is slowing down the entire organization. i'm looking at you phone company dsl. check your speed. see how fast your internet can be. switch now and add voice and tv for $34.90. comcast business built for business. >> this is al jazeera america, i'm john siegenthaler. coming up guns in america, why so many mass shootings happen here and not in other countries that have so many guns. girls as young as six encouraged to have sex with adults, what's being done to change that. and the end of reign in spain, tonight, europe prepares for crowning of a new king. >> newly released video from 2013 has police in texas in the center of a controversy. it shows el paso police officer shooting and killing an inmate. jonathan betz is here. jonathan. >> we are only now seeing the video, it gives a clearer view of what could have led an officer to open fire on a handcuffed prisoner. it's a brief moment, an officer fires one shot at a handcuffed prisoner struggling on the ground. but police say the story comes long before. surveillance video showing what happened when daniel sines a body builder was killed at the el paso jail. police say he was arrested for assault and soon afghan assaulting officers. dragging the 37-year-old through the jail but as they try to lift him, he starts struggling. guards try to hold him down, but he kicks repeatedly. shojose flores reaches for his n gun but the prisoner resists. >> the discharge of the weapon was a very unfortunate accident. >> flores attorney says the gun went off when the guard in the light colored uniform fell into flores. stun guns had failed to subdue the inmate five times earlier that day. >> if mr. sines had gotten his cuffs in front of him he could have used those cuffs to strangle either the civilian contractor or officer flores or someone else if he had gotten away. >> reporter: blood pours from sines, the officer tries to stop it but he soon dice. the blood exam shows he had steroids in his system. amazing how much a threat a man could pose in handcuffs. even though officers flores no longer face criminal charges, the dead man's family could file civil case. has a not yet made a decision. >> all right, jonathan, thank you. >> tonight in our series guns around the world we look at the united states, the world leader in gun owner and in gun violence. all too familiar cycle of national sour searching and debate. how did this happen, what can we do to keep it from happening again, yet little changes. the cycle repeats itself. th just this past month, president obama vented his own frustration. >> we're the only developed country in the world where this happens. it happens not once a week, and it's a one-day story. there's no place else like this. a lot of people will say that you know this is a mental health problem it is not a gun problem. the united states does not have a monopoly on crazy people. >> our paul beban is here in new york where despite tough gun laws, the number of shootings is up 43% last month alone. pall, what's going on? >> the police commissioner is here, bill bratton says, crime goes up, crime goes down. last year there was an historic lull in shootings, but back again. back to what the president says, high income countries have plenty of mentally ill just like we do, but crimes, robberies and assaults but what they don't have is nearly as many people killed by guns. >> we are an outlier. we are so much worse than every other developed country. >> the numbers tell story. in 2003 among 23 developed countries, 83% of all firearm deaths were in the united states, 86% of people killed which are american. and 86% of children younger than 14 killed by firearms were you guessed it american. the reason says harvard's david hemingway is simple. america has weaker gun laws than everyone else. >> these developed countries cannot understand the united states, they wonder why we let people die unnecessarily. >> reporter: why brings us to the other thing no other country has, the second amendment which according to a supreme court ruling in 2008 constitutionally, guarantees all gun rights. but it last not always been that way says author joan burbeck. >> that's pretty heady stuff. so anybody who tends to restrict your ownership is a potential tyrant. someone who is taking away your freedom. the gun rights language has defined the debate. once you make a gun a intro -- a symbol of freedom it is beyond regulation. >> john morse, a former police officer, later elected to colorado state senate where he helps pass new gun control measures, following the columbine shooting and the aurora, colorado movie theater attack. heavy spending by the national rifle association, even sow, morse says the tide is turning towards tougher gun laws. >> i do think we will get there because this is just common sense. you know as the adage goes, americans will eventually do the right thing. they just got odo everything else first -- got to do everything else first. >> what i heard from rich wyatt, a gun store owner. >> proven throughout this country. >> what we can tell from the studies and the data is that that's completely wrong. is that where there are more guns there seems to be a lot more gun crime. >> reporter: which brings us back to president obama's line about crazy people and mass shootings. in fact, although they account for just a fraction of the gun violence in the u.s., stopping these horrifying and high-profile crimes would surely make us feel safer. but the way the the second amendment is interpreted today, just about any american has access to deadly force any time they want it. john, so here's the thing. over the past 25 years gun crimes are down in the u.s. much like all other crimes. but we don't know why. and that's because the nra has so scared members of congress that they have defunded research into gun crime. as one researcher put it, john, we don't even know what's killing us. >> paul bebawn in new york, paul, thank you. >> the book the second amendment, a look, i talked to the author michael waldman. i asked him when did the supreme court first recognize the american's right to bear arms? >> the supreme court first recognized in 2008, that was the first time. it actually ruled otherwise before that. when the supreme court said it was following the original intent of the framers, when you look back at what they were thinking about when they wrote the second amendment, it was to preserve the local military institutions. >> let's just read the amendment here. it's short. a well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. so what does it mean? >> well, back then, every adult man, every adult white man actually eventually was in the well regulated militia and they were required by law to own a gun and keep it at home. so it was an individual right to fulfill the civic duty to serve. >> and protect the state. >> and protect the state. and they were worried, they believe those militias fought off tyranny from a national army and when the constitution got proposed a lot of americans were worried that it gave too much power to the american government which was new the second amendment was in part designed to protect that army of citizen soldiers. >> so how do we get to this point and what role did the nra play? >> the nra played a very important and in some ways classic role in how we understand the constitution. in the 1970s there was what they called a revolt of cincinnati, a new leadership was voted in that converted into a crusade for the second amendment. if you go to the headquarters today, if you go to the headquarters of the nra in virginia you walk into the lobby and there on the wall is the second amendment in pride of place. but you have to look closely. they edited out the part of the well regulating militia. they moved public opinion so that over time, it became the mainstream view that of course this means an individual right. going to the court of public opinion, winning in the worth of public opinion before you go to the court of law -- >> so that matters. >> that matters and that's how americans have always made -- >> it's not just the letter of the law, not strict interpretation of the constitution. >> that's not the way it works. >> really? >> it's not that they're sitting around reading public opinion polls. think about gay marriage or civil rights or campaign finance laws where they've started striking down all these laws. all those things reflect activism and the push and pull of public debate. >> how much does the right to bear arms really mean? >> right, what the supreme court ruled on was having a handgun in your home to protect yourself. okay. what about carrying guns out in the discreet, what about carrying an assault weapon? what about carrying it into the fast food restaurant or parking lot? we're seeing this all over the country where activists are walking around with scary looking guns to show that they can under the second amendment. i think it's back firing. i think it plaques them look very extreme and it's underscoring for people, you know, a world where everyone was armed and everyone knew that everyone else was armed would not be a very easy place to live. >> thanks for history lesson. meublg waltman, great to see you. >> great to be here. >> our neighbor to the north, a world away. >> general motors ceo mary barra was back on capitol hill. lisa stark has that story. >> family members of some of those killed and injured in the crashes sat in the back of the hearing room silent witnesses to gm's decade long failure to recall the defective vehicles. company ceo mary barra apologized and insisted she is changing gm's safety culture. >> i will not rest until these sieshes arissues are resolved. >> ignition switch problem was not considered a safety issue. even throw chevy cobalts and saturn ions would suddenly stall. testified about a culture of secrecy, and a lack of accountability, in gm's decision to close the safety probe of these vehicles back in 2005. >> one of the key problems that we found was the fact of lack of documentation. why did they close the investigation, there were no notes, everybody at the meeting pointed to somebody else at the meeting as having responsibility to close the matter. >> not a single one in that company had the integrity to say i think we're making a mistake here. not a single one. >> lawmakers pushed hard on whether barra is truly remaking the general motors safety culture. >> why the foot drag? into a product concern how do you intend to change this? >> we already have with the way we're working through recalls today. we've changed that process, we are demonstrating it today. >> barra says they're also doing what's right with customers. the company argues it has no legal responsibility. >> instead of protecting gm, start protecting the families. >> candace anderson survived the crash of her saturn ion in 2004 but it killed her fiancee. she pled guilty for criminally negligent homicide. she never admit the accident may not have been her fault. lisa stark, al jazeera, capitol hill. >> the amount of time veterans are expected to wait for medical care. more than 30 days, double the previous estimate. the acting head, sloane gibson, called the information unfortunate. deadly disease spreading across west africa. the highly contagious ebola virus. guinea appears to be hardest hit. doctors without borders is trying to stop the virus. outbreak has led to restrictions on flights, and trade in the region. community leaders in the african country of malowi is trying to end a controversy tradition. in some regions, young girls are expected to have sex with community leader. reporting from the southern town of cholo. >> 14 years old this is not her little sister. it's her two-year-old daughter. the young mother is a victim of a cultural practice that encourages young girls to have sex early in some parts of malawi, it is a right of passage where young girls have proceed to adulthood after initiation. >> they were when they were in shedded there, to support, they were taught that they were supposed to be cleansed which means they have to sleep with any adult person, that means that now, she has passed. >> she should be in secondary school not primary but she's determined to catch up about. >> when i had my baby i was ashamed. i'm happying to back in school. >> changing old customs isn't easy. government doesn't have figures on how many are affected but the dropout is high. sometimes when a girl gets pregnant she's immediately expelled from school. the insult and the humiliation can get so bad, young mothers feel unwanted and abandoned. not all initiation practices encourage premarital underage sex. >> the government has done a lot as far as very little happening on the ground. as far as implementation is concerned. >> community leaders try to convince to go back to school. they tell her her dreams don't have to end, just because she got pregnant so young. hara matassa, al jazeera, malawi. >> a crushing defeat for the defending world cup champions. and a royal tradition, spain's long time king steps down from the throne. >> good evening, i'm meteorologist kevin corriveau. over the last six hours, ohio has been pummeled by severe weather. severe thunderstorm watch boxes out, in this region alone we have seen over 100 wind damage reports. that's what we're going to see with winds gusting over 75 miles per hour across the region. also power outages are going to be a major problem here as well. going a little further back towards the west we are very concerned about what's happening across south dakota and north dakota, just in the past two hours we've seen nine tornadoes, eight of those were in south dakota, one in north dakota. bright reds located, that is where tornadoes are imminent or on the ground. you see the yellow areas that is tornado watches where we think tornadoes are going to pop up a little bit later. and unfortunately here in northeast nebraska that is another area and we've seen tornadoes there over the last several days. the other big problem is going to be the amount of rain. we have seen a lot of rain just in the last couple of days and it is going to continue all the way through thursday so flooding a major problem there. that is a look at your weather, news is coming up after this. this. >> we saw one of the biggest upsets in the world cup today. defending champion spain is out of the tournament. this spanish side being one of the most successful in the history of football, this is just a bridge too far. the end of the success, for many players it was perhaps a bit too old for some of the success in world european championships. they came up against a brilliant chilekyle hilliankylchilian tea. there was a security breach where around 100 chile fans who didn't have tickets, there were so many here who were trying to get in, finally overpowered them and that's something that fifa is taking very seriously. instead of condemn the violence they will be taking action pep there are five more matches that are to be played at this stadium. >> that's lee wells. wellings. as spain accepts its defeat it is celebrating a new monarch. stepped down today, signed a bill that confirms his abdication. embracinembracing his son, kingp vi. >> mention elephants and the king in the same sentence and you get an instant reaction. >> maybe if our monarchy was closer to the scandinavian monarchies and such things as hunting elephants in africa when the people here claim for food, maybe i would like the monarchy and i like my politicians. but this is not scandinavia. >> people were
