Parents of slain teenager, Michael Brown ahead of his funeral. Reporter all your sport including the algeran player killed by rocks thrown by his own fans. We start this news hour in syria and we cross straight over to damascus where the syrian foreign minister is speaking and this is what he has to say. Translator able to stop this terrorist aggression against gaza and to stop the blood shed in gaza and to meet the needs and demands and ambitions of the palestinians in lifting the siege, israeli siege imposed on gaza. You are following up what is going on in yemen as well, the brotherly country of yemen and the most Dangerous Things that are going on in iraq and syria. What is the biggest scene witnessed by the world is the u. N. Security Council Resolution number 2170 regarding combatting the tourism of i. S. Groups in syria and iraq. In syria we welcome this resolution. We know it is late, but we commit ourselves to this resolution and we hope and we welcome every country who is committed to this resolution under the charter and everyone committing itself to. The important part of the resolution is assurance of previous resolutions with the council in combatting terrorism. And the reassurance that the iraq and syria, the republic of iraq and republic of syria are independent and sovereign countries and their unity and the total integrity and the u. N. Charity and the precipice of sovereignty and the nation. And we reassure again that all types of terrorism is one of the most dangerous threats that is targeting the International Security and International Peace and these acts are terrorist acts and not justified at all. And the reasons behind and whoever is committing such a crime and picture and image is approved unanimously and stresses after years and years of the crisis in syria that we use it during this crisis to put an end to the terrorism, to put an end to financing terrorism, put an end to supporting and financing and smuggling terrorists from the neighboring countries to syria. We used to warn about this and we used to talk about the terrorism that might spread to the neighboring countries and far beyond that. No one was listening to us. But finally they have adopted such a resolution that the resolution reaffirms that it is quite impossible to deter terrorism without an approach where all countries and all international and regional organizations are cooperating in preventing these terrorist threats and put an end to the movement of terrorism. I dont want to read the whole text of resolution. But there are points that are supporting our situation. Even the terrorism and the terrori terrorists have to be stopped and we need to stop those people who are trying to export terrorism and thoughts of i. S. Group and the thoughts of other things and this must come to an end. This has to come to an end. So many paragraphs about the infiltration of the terrorism and reporters of putting an end to important fighters, foreign fighters who cross the borders of both iraq and syria and to stop the practices, the bad practices in intellectual and cultural and religious institutions and too many paragraphs that the resolution is stressing, this resolution has to be adopted by the u. N. Member states. Now, the resolution was issued on the 15th of this month, of august. The question is have we felt any Serious International and really International Movement to implement such a resolution . I have read and interview with one of the commanders of i. C. Last week. And he said in the interview that the cooperation between i. S. Group and turkey is sort of a strong cooperation. They were received on the red carpet in turkey and turkey treated all those injured from i. I. S. , is this coming within the resolution of the Political Council 2170 . Another point, yesterday an american journalist has been released. We welcome this step. But a statement from the katri Foreign Ministry says the katri efforts have led to this journalist release so do these efforts of katar are they related to the activities of isra, before that a german minister said that his country has information about katar financing moosra. I want to see and to touch and to feel as a syrian citizen a real commitment to implement the items of this resolution by every country, particularly the neighboring countries. Hence, i stress that syria is quite ready to cooperate and to coordinate on the regional and International Levels when it comes to fighting terrorism, combatting terrorism and implementation of the resolution 2170 of the Security Council and within the respect of the Syrian National independence and National Sovereignty because the Syrian Government is the one who represents sovereignty and any efforts to fight and combat terrorism and any efforts have to be done through coordination with the Syrian Government and the International Community now has to be up to the responsibility of implementing the resolution number 2170 from the security of the Security Council. And this stand, this situation will be the call of the syrian diplomacy during the coming periods. Id like to leave a space now for some questions. Reporter you are watching al jazeera and you have been listening and seeing a statement being made by the syrian foreign minister in the capitol damascus talking of syrias positions on the current syria scenario that is unfolding in the middle east. We will just go back for that question now from one oof the journalist and listen to what the Foreign Ministers answer is to that. Resolution 2170, what are you expecting from the west and what are the transformations in the region . I think this is based on a british project. The news, i will say, things about britain that supports this project within the limits of dash and error map was released, regarding the cooperation between i. S. , turkey and britain. How can countries issue such a resolution and how can they export the Current Situation in the region within the resolution . Translator we, in our stands and our positions, think about the actions on the ground and we have seen and we have documents about those who finance terrorists in syria and who provide terrorists with weapons in syria and our political and our media stance reflected this. Now, what we are expecting from the west, our stance will be the same until the west proves that the west is moving into another direction through deeds and not through words in the worst vision about the facts in syria. Translator a question here. Reporter and it will end the foreign minister of course replying to that journalists question. Lets get analysis on this with ruler and hopefully you were able to listen to what he had to say. Firstly the syrians incredibly worried about the ongoing scenario where Islamic State is taking over large sways of ground including even one province in syria. So he is certainly laying out how he sees the situation and how syria is going to work with the International Community. Yes, as we said, on the ground Islamic State group is growing stronger inside syria and they have been able to defeat forces in many critical spots including taking over of the airport. Its an air base actually in iraq province. What he was saying is the bottom line is we told you so. Assad and his government has been telling the world they are actually fighting terrorist and the world should actually cooperate with them in this fight. Today he was very clear, they welcome u. N. Resolution regarding the Islamic State but he says it comes too late. And he expressed a lot of skepticism in how serious the west and the United States have gone so far to find the i. S. Group efficiency. He also called on the regional countries around syria and wants them to show proof they are, in fact, fighting i. S. Very seriously. This is his bottom line and as you heard he is willing to cooperate and willing to coordinate but he wants the western United States to recognize them as a government, they have sovereignty and they need to cooperate with them in order to defeat the Islamic State group in syria and iraq. Indeed, thanks for that and we will come back to you throughout the day on the situation where you are but joining me now in of course the Islamic StateGroup Advanced as cross large areas of syria and iraq and baghdad the Prime Minister says the talks on forming a new government have been constructed. The u. S. Is pushing for a government that includes all factions to help defeat the Islamic State. The situation this iraq is causing shuj concerns in i ran, so much so the foreign minister is on a threeday trip to iraq and diplomatic efforts extends further and the Deputy Foreign minister made a visit to saudi arabia and it is tense and find themselves on opposite side of the conflicts including syria and its a fastmoving story and we have an associate professor in contemporary history of the middle east at katar university and joins me now. So much happening in a short space of time and diplomacy is staggering and ruler summed it up very well, we told you so. But the context in which we told you so is very different two years ago to what is going on now, the i. S. Were not around then. He appeared after a while to speak to the media and say we did alert you from the beginning there is a problem you have to face. Two things struck me on what he was saying. One, mixing things. Because he knows that this weapon coming from the United States and turkey was supposed to finish the community at that stage. And second point where basically he is for getting that syria between 2004 and 6 was actually providing weapons to those who are acting in iraq actually against the americans in iraq and they were called at that time terrorists, so its mixing of facts and its clear that the regime wants to benefit as much as they can from the situation now and trying to stand on their feet again by saying we are here to help and if you want us. But obvious he is quite happy to lay the blame as a Regional Government and he is not hesitating in criticizing turkey by saying they looked after the injured from i. S. Now, my understanding is turkey made a request to israel a few weeks ago to say those that were injured in gaza will be welcome to treatment in turkey, that is my understanding of the facts there. And of course alluding to katar a country we are in now, what did they do to free the american journalists and not giving a source but where did the finance come from . All of those stood, i mean, the german minister has apologized and the government has apologized and feels better about that statement saying he was depending on rebels. On the second, trying to bring order again, he is mixing things together just to confirm or to strengthen the position of the regime now by saying, look, we are ready to cooperate on this issue with you especially a day after the Islamic State is under control now and doesnt reflect the control of the regime of what is happening in the regime now and also the new nature of alliance may appear with the involvement of iran as we are witnessing today at least. A lot to digest for the International Community and we will analyze it through the day and thank you for joining us from katar university. More to come on the al jazeera news hour including. I see people, if a dog get hit they pick him off the street right awant and they let the baby lay there for 4 1 2 hours. Reporter they believe that target by police as ferguson prepares to lay Michael Brown to rest. First we pay tribute to film great Richard Attenborough who died at the age of 90. And in sport number one rorymcilroy continues number one from a dramatic final round coming up. Now, parents of Michael Brown, the unarmed black teenager shot dead by a white Police Officer in the u. S. Two weeks ago called for calm in front of the funeral and he will be buried today and the parents called for a day of silence and it led to days of violent protests in st. Louis. The suburb of ferguson where the teenager was shot. Now the killing has increased racial tensions. All i want the peace. And the baby laid to rest. Please, please, so we can lay our son to rest. Reporter police in riot gear are no longer on the streets of ferguson and it has been peaceful the past few days and the Police Officer who killed Michael Brown are as loud as ever and john reports. Reporter he is struck by a notion as many young black men here, it might have been him. Anyone of us any day, everybody know who he is. The young man was shot. So its no different. Black men in america, its cut and dry, grew up with the same circumstances, same opportunities. Reporter the protests have gone from sometimes violent to somber but the facts of what happen remain foggy. Many are saying the shooting of unarmed Michael Brown by Police OfficerDarren Wilson highlights disrespect for which they are treated by local authorities. You dont treat a dog like that, if a dog gets hit they pick him off the street right away and they let the baby lay there for 4 1 2 showers and that is unconscionable on the hot concrete with blood splattering out of his head. Reporter on monday brown will be laid to rest but the issues his death has raised will not. This church is huge and the funeral is open to the public and thousands are expected to attend, so many they are likely to spill out the street. Its a sign of just how deeply this killing has affected the community. Brown is only the latest to die at the hands of police. Police shoot a black man in america on average twice a week according to a study by usa today and most hope to ensure this time makes a difference at least here. I dont think people will forget. I think they will learn from this tragedy. Maybe it will promote more change with the police department. Reporter ricky nelson also has a hope. What do you think is going to come of all this . Aside from this man being prosecuted and going to jail for the rest of his life, i know they will stop shooting young black boys in the street. That is my goal. Reporter as Michael Browns funeral marks an end of sorts to his story, the investigation into what happened here could decide whether a new sense of quiet remains on the city streets, john with al jazeera, ferguson, missouri. Well, to weather and here is stef and lowlying areas in the caribbean are on alert. That is right and if you are in the area you are worried about landslides, lets look at the satellite picture and see exactly why. This is the Tropical Storm and its not a hurricane and not that strong but its still capable of giving us very heavy rain and it will be the rain from this system that is the main problem. You can see its a disorganized storm but covering quite a large area and through jamaica and cuba and Dominican Republic are seeing rain and the center of the storm is to the north of all of us. Its going to creep its way northward but its moving very slowly and moving around 5 kilometers per hour. So that means we have a prolonged period of heavy rain tan heaviest rain is likely across the bahamas and turks and Caicos Islands as well and wet for us and could be around 300 millimeters of rain from this system. Already though it has given us impressive totals and east of Dominican Republican and the capitol has heavy rain and caused a problem with flooding already and the risk because the ground is already water logged further rain could give us a problem with landslides and for monday and tuesday as the storm pulls away there is plenty of hef heavy rain behind it. Award british actor Richard Attenborough has died at the age of 90. Over a career that stretched for more than 60 years, he appeared in several blockbuster hollywood movies but it was his work in the director chair won him two oscares for the movie gandhi and we look back at his life. Defining movement in his career, directing the film gandhi was a mission that took Richard Attenborough 20 years to achieve. The film won 8 oscars including best director and best actor, the life of gandhi was close to attenboroughs heart. I can quote saying the film has captured absolutely the spirit of gandhi. And that is as a nice of a complement as i would wish to have. Reporter but it was as an actor that his career began. Starting at in the 1940s with bit parts. And as he grew he would appear in seminal movies about the Second World War. Im going to cause a terrible stink here. Reporter as the leader of what history remembers as the great escape from a german prisoner of war camp. Putting more men out of this perfect camp of theirs than ever escaped before. We are not getting out 2, 3 or a dozen, 200, 300 or all over germany. Reporter attenborough was a campaigner for civil rights and liberties, something he would bring to the films he directed. Attenborough returned to a
