[ gunfire ] after a week of heavy losses that saw the fall of mosul, iraqs second largest city, iraqs military is launching air strikes. It was a show of force by the Prime Minister almalaki, who claims hundreds of rebels have been killed in the counter offensive. He continues to issue a call to arms.

She defends her actions which resulted in the largest intelligence leak in u. S. History. She attacks the way the u. S. Military grants access to journalists in iraq and afghanistan, writing this, all reporters carefully vetted by military Public Affairs officials. The system is far from unbiased. Unsurprisingly, reporters who established relationships with the military are more likely to grant access, the result is that the american publics access to the facts are gutted, which leaves them with no way to evaluate the conduct of american officials. Security experts warn that what is happening in iraq should serve as a legs for afghanistan.

Security has been beefed up. We are also hearing that in one province, all leave for doctors are canceled and hospitals put on emergency footing. The military operation is likely to last for sometime. According to reports we are getting, they have surrounded certain fighters in the North Waziristan area, plugged and closed off access routes. The pakistanis have plans to beef up security on their side of the border to prevent the fighters escaping across the bored and have asked the Afghan Government to aid in areas where militants are said to be hiding.

The government has shot and beaten cambodian workers. 120,000 fleeing in the last week alone. We have more from the thai border. We saw 700,000 cam boweddens at this crossing alone. Yesterday, we heard 2025,000 people crossed the border, so were looking at dwindling numbers at the moment. It looks as if its a pretty straight forward process, though. We followed one particular Migrant Worker going home on the cambodian side. As he was processed through the Thai Military through immigration, the thai and cambodian administration helped out and then put on a bus to go back home. It seemed straight forward and orderly. The big question is what this surge or tide of migrants means about the future of the labor force, the economy, and the direction that the new militarism in thailand want to take the country. Colombias president has won a second term in office. The win is a major endorsement of continuing peace talks with rebels. The largest Guerilla Group is known for kidnappings and assassinations. The president now faces the challenge of living up to its campaign promise. Peace is the winner. Thats what the elected president told colombians. This is thent of 50 years of violence and the beginning of a new colombia with new liberty, social justice and colombia at peace. He has four more years in office. He will have to deliver on his promise to end the war. I expect the war to finish one day. If santos betrays us, he will have to pay a price. We have all been hostages to this war. We need piece. Millions backed rival candidate, whos party will continue to be a strong force in opposition. This is the first day to start organizedding our party more effectively.

Twenty senators from the party have been elected and the leading senator is the former president , who has labeled santos a traitor. He said he abandoned his hard line policy against the rebels and now he will fight back. The peace negotiations will obviously be one of the main issues against which they will act on every opportunity available to it. If and when the agreement is signed, it is subjected to a referendum against which the party will work to assure that the country and population votes against it. Almost half of the country voted for santos opponent and shares the concern. I would like there to be peace, but peace with justice, not peace with impunity. After such a tightly contested race, santos will breathe a sigh of relief that he remains president , but his greatest challenge will now be to convince colombians its time for a negotiated peace.

For more, we turn to our meteorologist stephanie dionne. We are watching out for the threat of Severe Weather in pretty much the same areas that dealt with it over the weekend. Were going to be dealing with flooding. Thats exactly what the problem here across south america and Northern Areas of brazil. We have video to say show you where we saw a months worth of rain in 48 hours washing out an entire hillside and of course leaving a lot of people with plenty of damage. Fortunately, no deaths or injuries were reported, and we could still be dealing with isolated storms, but there is a lot of activity going on in this area and we certainly dont want more rain. We are going to get that moving across the northern portion of the country and with that an isolated shower or two. Stateside, its fairly quiet with showers moving across illinois into st. Louis. Minnesota and iowa, we are watching our next piece of energy to move in, still dealing with the strong gulf of mexico moisture moving in. That will provide lots of moisture. The heat and humidity will be on back to the areas of the country with isolated tornadoes. With stronger storms, well deal with large hail, as well as strong, damages winds, so a repeat of the performance weve had over the weekend. We will get that daytime heating. Unfortunately across the southwest where we have the fire threat, its going to stick around through tuesday. Were starting to see more mainly, but not much in the form of more rain. We will cool down in this areas. Ukraines gas supply is cut off over a 4 billion debt.

Well, in the last hour or so, we are hearing from gas officials in ukraine in the capitol of kiev that supplies of russian gas have now started to be reduced. Theyve actually now reduced so they can declare a state of zero gas coming from the russian federation. As you mentioned there, the hope had been that a loft minute deal would be broken, that this was perhaps a game of brinksmanship. The meetings were not giving off great signs at all. A series of highlevel talks have been taking place in brussels and berlin between russian and ukrainian gas officials, along with officials from the european union. Each time, russia and ukraine accused each other of not making large enough concession to say push an agreement along. As has been announced by kiev, its clear that the russians have gone ahead with the move to shut off gas completely. Does ukraine have a backup plan, a contingency plan to handle the situation . It certainly does, because russia and ukraine have been at logger heads over gas prices for a very long time now. Perhaps the first main contingency plan is something called reverse flow that would allow countries nearby ukraine to supply the country with gas for a fee, of course. Slovakia has already been asked to provide gas to help ukraine in the coming months, but according to the head of ukraines main gas provider, they have enough gas until december.

They have underground storage and 12 billion cubic meters of gas, but at the same time, they need a long Term Solution to this standoff. Thank you very much.
