And the invention that continues to save thousands of lives. First to the turmoil in iraq. Fighters seize an oil refinery, and theyre calling for a show of power against their enemy. They rallied across the country. The shia groups are also involved. In the northern town of kirkuk, they say theyre preparing for a long battle. We urge you to be ready to sacrifice yourself. We go live to baghdad, you weris the intent to defend or fight . The intent to is defend. And it was, indeed, a show of strength. Thousands of people out on the streets. Mean in military and police uniforms. Others in the uniform of the old army which was disbanded in 2008. Also we had brigade of suicide bombers wearing mock suicide belts and people with explosive devices. In the last few moments we heard of an explosive device which exploded in the last few moments, and in another neighborhood about nine people dead and 24 injured which goes to show you despite all of this big show of power baghdad is still under threat. Now this is a defensive army. We have scenes where it did look offensive. Some confusion over who is in control of the own refinery, and at the same time we have the sunni rebels making gains today. Absolutely right. There have been check points on the syrian borders. They back themselves with money and reinforcements. Now the refinery taken last night by the sunni rebels and isil fighters, but today the army saying its not in our controlle control. Its difficult along the supply route to take control and hold it. Trying to make sure to keep a region open, they dont have that right now. Thats why were seeing a claim and counter claim. More than a Million People have been forced to leave their homes in iraq. 600,000 have been displaced in the last two weeks. They say they had no choice. We left the village for fear of the safety of our families. The Southern Province the government which controls most of the province had been shelling the area to take back towns held by armed groups. Theyre calling for an end to the violence. Gunmen, what will people do. Artillery, even aircraft is bombing. Yesterday a whole family was killed, why . This is the areas where the violence is most intense. On friday, the border post, they say they now have full control of the countrys largest oil refinery. But the army denies the claim and says it is in control. The two sides are fighting for the airport on the road to the syrian border. Fighting for towns north continue 60 kilometers away from baghdad. And the army controls 70 of the surrounding areas. Isil rebels took control it fought against Nouri Almaliki in 2008 and disbanded in 2009. The league of the righteous is a group that is said to have 10,000 fighters. Many of them have been fighting syrias government. And another group hezbollah, the iraqi branch is believed to have 40,000 fighters. And lets bring in a league adviser. He joins us live from london, so weve got all these sunnies and the shias on the march. What do you make of this development . This developing picture . I think what were seeing today is the radicalization of Rogue Society iraqs society. What were seeing today is quite unfortunate. The shia leaders are saying that the mobilization of their forces to protect shia shrines. Was it not the same execution for shia militia to enter into syria and initia initiate the fighting on the side of regime. I think its a preview of what will come next. The reason why this is happen something all the radicalization is happening simply because of the corruption of the government, the sectarian policies the government has adopted and largely how the government dwelt with demonstrators both in outlaw province and in the town where 50 peaceful demonstrators were killed at the hands of the army. I think the largely Sunni Community north of baghdad are the areas between mosul where the disturbances are seen and north of baghdad. I think they were mobilized for a simple reason, that they saw that there is no hope that this government led by Nouri Almaliki was going to change, or if it didnt change it was going to change its policies because it went back on every single promise that it made to them. Do you think if the u. S. Get involved this could reignite a march back into syria . The americans have lost all credibility in the middle east, and any interference by American Forces be it on the ground or the air is going to be counter productive because its going to be seen, here we go, this is america siding with one faction against the other, and the other will be seen as the righteous one. I dont see at any point america strikes. If we look at the past and specifically 2008 and 2007 the americans have substantial number of troops on the ground in iraq, and they were not able to defeat the armed factions who are fighting against them. And until such time that they formed groups who sided by them in fighting the other extremis extremists. Thats the only way they were defeated. I dont see how the americans can say we will achieve our aims astrikes. All doom and gloom, it seems that it will get worse. If Nouri Almaliki were to go could that bring the two sides together . I think on who will replace him. Once the americans entered iraq and helped in drafting iraqi constitution, it was leeway to liberate certain provisions, that was the main reason as Nouri Almaliki continued in office. We have the underlying reasons for the problem, taking into account all of iraqi wishes. Not just one society. Him going alone without changing the underlying reasons why this we believ rebel event began in the first place will not help. The top leader of the outlawed group i. Another chapter in egypt Muslim Brotherhood. This is unjust. 100 unjust. Members of the groups were put on trial. Among them, the groups spiritual leader who has been put on death row for the second time. The court convicted him for the murder and attempted murder of policemen in attacks on Police Station in province last year. Hes also been convicted of belonging to a terrorist group. That day Police Killed hundreds of Muslim Brotherhood supporters in the capitol and the violence didnt stop there. Three more people were killed by security forces. Protesting against the overthrow in july of president ial mohammed morsi. Morsi, a former members of the Muslim Brotherhood, had lilt to a difficult level. The military backed by many egyptians overthrew him. Morsi now is in prison facing criminal charge and a possible death sentence. He was the groups great hope after decades in exile. Hes here with the brief return of the Muslim Brotherhood. But his policies eventually led to his own spectacular fall. They gave the state an excuse to once again ban the organization and justify mass arrests and death sentences. Much like those handed down on saturday al jazeera. The u. S. Has blacklisted thailand, malaysia and venezuela for Human Trafficking. They said they should be no impunity for those found guilty of trafficking and everybody is responsible for helping the trade. Wherever rule of law is weak, where corruption is most engrained, and where populations cant count on the government for protection of law enforcement, there you find zones of Human Trafficking. That is what is possible if we double down on dignity, which is what were doing here today. A spokesman for the Thai Government saying that its doing all it can to address the problem. We are disappointed. I repeat, very disappointed and we disagree the reason for our disappointment is that thailand has not been ignoring this issue. What were doing right now to combat Human Trafficking is were doing it because its the right thing to do. Were adhering to human rights and humanitarian principles. Were not doing it to respond to an sort of ranking. The vote passes 5149. Its voted to sell off investments in three Companies Operating there. Well tell i couldnt in just a moment. Dancing to the costa rica beat as they stun italy at the world cup. Russian president Vladimir Putin has put russias military and air force on combat alert and ordered thousands of troops to old military drills. It comes a day after a ceasefire. The kremlin dismissed the plans saying it sounded like an ultimatum and not an offer of talks with separatist. The split tes separatists denounced the ceasefire and continue to fight against ukrainian forces. The head of the Catholic Church will meet the family of a toddler shot dead in mafia violence in january. How has he been received, and whats his plan . Reporter well, the people here, the pilgrims behind me are ecstatic. They love the idea of him coming here to the heart of mafia territory, as it were, and delivering his message. Others are not so sure of that. Some of the family of that murdered child, some say theyre hardened criminals as well, they are being held. This is the pope giving a speak to a group of the world of organized crime, both machine and women. The risks of speaking out against the mafia can be considerable. Weve been talking to people who have been doing just that. Rosa and her son marco are still haunted by her husbands death. An innocent gunned down by the mafia in a case of mistaken identity. There were some animal animals. They have no regret, no heart. Five years after the attack marco still suffers emotional difficulties having watched his father die in front of him. They both hope that the popes visit will mark the beginning of the end of violence. Here in one of the most beautiful parts of italy, and one of the poorest, the mafia killings occur. Just a few kilometers away from this tiny church in march the priest was murdered. The father was beaten to death by a drug dealer demanding money. A dealer on the fringe of the world of organized crime. That murder and the shooting of a local threeyearold boy prompted the popes latest stand against the mafia. Its given neighboring priests new determination to speak out. The danger comes to test ourselves. The pope will give a direct account of mafia activities when he shares lunch with this reformed drug dealer having visited a prison. Normal life goes on here despite the violence. Many vatican analysts doubt the popes power to overcome the mafia. In the past the church has turned a blind eye to organized crime. Well of course, this is the real question now, will the popes words make any difference, and there are some who i was just describing who believe that perhaps hes up against a really tough challenge that he alone cannot overcome because there have been brave priest who is have stood up to the mafia in the past. Equally on occasions there have been some seduced by their power and money. And the mafia are always keen to boast about their association with the church. It helps to give them credibility and perhaps allows them to excuse some of their actions. As to the risks, well, in the past when people have stood up, there have been attacks. Theres been retribution. So although i dont think anyone would suggest that the pope himself would run any risks but perhaps those who follow him and speak out against the mafia might. The present Catholic Church has apologized for child sex abuse committed by its priests. This is a symbolic gentleme symbolic gesture, i hope this is followed up with concrete action to make sure that victims get help. I hope for the victims that today is an important sign that the church wants to make sure that these difficult questions dont go unanswered, in a the church wants to solve this. The Presbyterian Church has taken a stand against israel and israe what it calls israels unjust settlement. The vote passes 5149. It was a vote for halfway around the world in israel. The Presbyterian Church usa voted to divest from three American Companies accused of profiting from israels occupation of lands. The reason to divest it was a divestment that went through a great thing during apartheid in south africa. Money talks and we have to take a moral stand. The churchs debate brough support. We need to meet people where they are if we want to be partners for peace. Difficulties within my own family, and you know, we jews like to say, two jews, three opinions. Thats certainly true. In a statement caterpillar said we believe its appropriate for such a resolution to be reached via political and diplomatic channels. The vote declares the church firmly on one side of the most stubborn debate in the middle east and its opponents say it would increase pressure on israel to come to the table with palestinians. A vote was taken to support samesex marriage, a vote that still has to be rattl ratified, but moving that this is not the church of yesteryear. The warning against plans to build parts of the west bank south of jerusalem, it said that the construction risks irreversible damage and will isolate farmers from fields theyve cultivated for centurie centuries. Lets go to weather with richard now. Meteorologist this report goes back to november and how th theyre suffering. The main issue is getting water. We have vast numbers of displaced people. And the rental is really facing severe drought conditions. Youve got the weather you would expect, but of course, into summer it is the summer solstice today. So across the northern hemisphere. Going back to the situation in syria and particularly in lebanon, and it looks as though there will be no rainfall. Meanwhile for the rest of the year weve had weather conditions, that High Pressure across the Western Areas but further towards east weve had flooding rain which effected parts of bulgaria. Historical floods. The weather is beginning to quiet down to the east and to the west and it looks like it will be dry and fine in the coming days. Thank you for that verdict. In the trial of three al jazeera journalists is expected on monday. Mohamed fahmy, bader mohammed, and peter greste have been behind bars for 175 days. Theyve been falsely accused of collaborating with the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood. Al jazeera rejects all the charges and continues to demand the release of its journalists. Mohammed famey. Im margaret warner. Im also chief of our overseas reporting unit. I first met mohammed famey when he came over to provide the egyptian voiceover. When we arrived, there were still young men out in front who did not look particularly dangerous. Our crew, our camera crew went in for a closer filmel while i and the driver at the time and another young egyptian driver who were with me. The driver of the van abandoned the car. Just at the same time a moab approached, and i could see our local producer, my cameraman and my producer were being pursued by this mob, and Mohammed Fahmy. I jumped into the van as Mohammed Fahmy held onto the back railing saying drive, drive. There was a mob in front of me. He said drive through them. Well get you out of here. Thats exactly what happened. For the next five or six minutes he directed me down this side street and this side street. He managed to get us to a safe place. He absolutely saved our lives. Im no legal expert but Mohammed Fahmy struck me as nothing more and nothing less than a professional journalist. Coming up on the news hour, the ladies and gentlemen persecutio hourthe alleged persecution. Im andrew simmons. Im with the vigilanty forces in attacks against boko haram. Ve again youre watching al jazeera. A reminder of our top stories. Disputing reports that rebels have taken control of the countrys largest oil refinery. The most powerful armed shia Group Showing force against its enemies. They would oppose the sunni rebel advance. Death sentence confirmed along with more than 180 of his supporters. This comes two months after they were sentenced over violence in the southern town last july. Casting a president ial ballot. Bubut many say the vote is not fair. 1. 3 mauritanian voters are going to the polls this day to elect a new president. There are five main contenders running for this president ial election. The most important one i for the observers is the turnout. So everyone here seems to think that mohammed ould abdel aziz would stay in office for another term of five years. Early provisional results are expected at the end of this day around midnight gmt time, but the official results wont be enough until monday by the Independence Commission for this election. There have been protests of alleged fraud in the president ial election. Outgoing President Hamid karzai said he wanted the United Nations to intervene in the votecounting process. One person has died in an explosion in the afghan capitol. Police say it was a Suicide Attack targeting a Peace Council official. Chinese police have shot dead 13 people who reportedly tried to attack a Police Station. The news agency said the group drove a car into a cash guard polic police department. This was a crackdown after 31 people were attacked in a in a marke market. Thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes, were joined live, how good a job are the vigilanties doing protecting those people . It would seem pretty effective. Theyre estimated to be anything between 20,000 and 50,000. And its known as the civilian joint protection force. And its not informal, its organized on a formal basis. There have 52 camps in all in the surrounding areas, and boko haram has now engaged in some of the fiercest attacks in their whole history. We expec spoke to one person who saw 48 people who were shot dead, including his son, before his very eyes. That took place in only two weeks. These are all on top of the whole School Kidnapping in which 219 school girls are still missing after more than two months. We went out with these civilian patrols and check point operations for a whole day and part of an evening. Theyre not well armed. They have little training. This is a vigilanty force that is rapidly growing in size and termination to defend the capitol against boko haram attacks by night and day. Tens of thousands of young men are at check points and joint Mission World trade center Nigerian Army. Theyre all officially backed by the state and provided with equipment. Some are paid wages. The moment we see them we follow them. We are prepared to die. Recruits have been easy to find. Mohammed joined a year ago after boko haram attacked his district. Its in areas of abject poverty where boko haram has thrived, but this is a place where mohammed and many like him maintain a vigilance of anything suspicious. His family is still traumatized by the attack in which boko haram shot dead seven people including mohammeds father and three younger brothers. With boko haram attacks increasing the role of the vigilanties is not just concentrated on this high profile job. Many are tasked with intelligence duties, spying on people who might be informers, and tracking suspected attackers. This is a role that the vigilanties are playing in this city. But there is a siegelike mentality because boko haram are controlling the ground outside of the city, killing at whether whenever they want. And not far away more than 4,000 people who escaped the attacks on the surrounding villages now seeking shelter wherever they can find it. Among them are this family. Boko haram made him watch as she shot his 17yearold son dead along with 47 other people. I have to accept gods will. I cant do anything. Im poor and i dont have any way of fighting them. This vigilanty call is raising some alarm among human rights groups. These are desperate times, and they know their neighbors watch. There is a certain amount of frustration that the International Communities are looking for boko haram, theyre looking for boko haram, yet they just continue their attacks. Most certainly, jane, youre dead on with that. We talked to people who have a level of fear, a really high one because the tactics of the boko haram are pretty heavy, indeed. You heard of their attacks. There is this fear, this partial success of the vigilanties in the city here. Theyve driven them out in many parts, and their Intelligence Capacity in terms of tracking them and informing the authorities is quite high. But then looking outside of the city, traveling outside, you can see the results. They are taking over vast areas, and people are frustrated because the Nigerian Army said its doing what it can, but there arent results. And it appears to be getting worse over time. Politically the government said that its in control of the situation, but it knows where the hostages, the 219 remaining hostages who have been unseen, unheard of for more than who months, school girls age between 16 and 18 years of age, no one knows what happened. That has caused a Massive Campaign against the government, and they want results. People want results. They want them soon. How that can be done remains to be seen. Its a critical situation, and more and more people are resorting to joining the vigilanties to try to pressure the government to take more action to solve this problem. Andrew, thank you. 20yearold woman has been gang raped, killed and hung from a tree in pakistan. Now the case is similar to the double murder that caused outrage in india last month.
