Crossing the boar border into the u. S. Alone. The u. S. Military advisers have arrived in iraq. As Everybody Knows this is a very critical time for iraq as a whole, and the government more basic challenge, more central challenge that we face, a Security Cooperation between the forces here in the kurdish area is very critical to helping draw lines with respect to isil. That meeting took place as soldiers battled with Islamic State in iraq and the levant. Mike viqueira for us at the white house. What is next for the military advisers who are now on the grouped in iraq. Reporter theyre there to assess the cohesiveness of the iraqi army. And the iraqi armys image has suffered. In addition, 90 of the 300 that the president said he is sending there as special operators as the phrase goes are coming into country today. In addition to assessing the capability of the iraqi army, theyre also going to be helping the iraqi acquire targets of the isil where bombs should be dropped. We have more from the pentagon spokesman. The team will begin their assessments immediately and report their findings through the chain of command in the next few weeks. Well continue to fly over iraq to the tune of 35 flights per day to give us enter insight about the security situation on the ground. Around the clock over the course of the last five days or so the American Military has been performing that surveillance in the skies over iraq. And kirby goes on to add that they are there, the advisers to, examine the most efficient way to introduce the rest of the 300, if, indeed, the balance of those force dos come into iraq. Mike, i understand that senators have been invited to a briefing about the situation in iraq. What will come of that brief . Reporter this is Due Diligence that the administration is going through, trying to Keep Congress abreast of the situation. Mike viqueira for us. As we mentioned moments ago secretary of state john kerry met with kurdish leaders to discuss the crisis. Jane, what was the main take awa away from secretary kerrys discussion today . Reporter well, tony, there is a long history of being abandoned by the United States. They come with discussions to have their demands met. Those discussions focus on baghdad and there is no secret that the kurdish president is not on good terms not even on speaking terms with nouri almaliki. Still a lot of talk is about government formation, setting up a new government possibly withoutal can i, and a lot of talk about what the kurds want in exchange. They are now the major power broker politically and in terms of security. They retain a very effective fighting force. Theyve used it to maintain security as cities have fallen, and they want guaranteed brokered by the United States that they will get a share of power. They will get their oil back and they will get what they feel they deserved for so many years, more of a piece of a pie. Were starting to see Oil Price Spikes here while there is a battle over control of the areas largest refinery. There is very fierce fighting with airstrikes. The up shot of that seems to be Iraqi Special forces are in control of the refinery. If only by a very then margin. There is apparent still fighting going on, by isil have taken the refinery or part of the refinery back in the past couple of days. And according to american and iraqi forces, Iraqi Security forces maintain minimum control of the refinery tonight. And what about the situation on iraqs borders. Has that situation changed in the last 24 hours . That is particularly worrying. Way out in the desert in the same province of fallujah and ramadi, that is still under isil control. Thats one of the airstrikes that would be aimed at. Airstrikes seem too risky around cities like mosul, but its in a vast desert area that has taken in the border crossing. That will be a likely target. The jorda jordanian officials are still in charge of the border. There are reports of burned out vehicles and other damage that is a testament to the fighting of isil as they advance towards jordan. That border apparently is still under control of officials forces. Jane thanks. We are learning more about how americans feel by president obamas handling of the situation in iraq. We go to abc news and Washington Post found 42 of those owe prove of the president s handling. 52 disapprove, and 65 oppose u. S. Troops in iraq and 46 approve of troops. A plane was shot at an as it landed in saudi arabia. A female passenger was killed. No one is claiming responsibility of this attack. Its the third attack on the pakistani airport this month. Ukraine said he may revoke the oneweek ceasefire. It comes after pro russian separatists shot down a military helicopter killing 49 Service Members. Now one day after the Russian Parliament authorizes the use of military force in ukraine. The political and diplomatic announcements regarding ukraine seem wholly positive. President putin revoking his legislative rights to intervene militarily here in Eastern Ukraine and also the visit by the German Foreign minister to kiev where he raised the possibility the russian observers might join an osce, to try to create a ceasefire and keep that ceasefire to hold. The problem is that the events on the ground have rather torpedoes the best wishes of the diplomats. What weve seen in the last 12 hours is a helicopter being downed. And according to official version it was downed by a Rocket Launcher fired from a stronghold in slovyank. Nine Service Members were killed. Its difficult to see this as anything but provocation by the separatists. There have been small exchanges perhaps the result of youthful, undisciplined. Separatist and fighters. But to bring down a helicopter that is more than an accident. The secretary of Homeland Security is warning parents in Central America not to send their children north to try to cross the u. S. Mexico border. This is an extraordinary story thats been going on for a couple of weeks. We appear to have very Young Children, not children who are on the edge of becoming adults. But children where are at the age where you love them and you want to look after them and protect them. Very Young Children are coming north with their parents blessings to the southern border to get into the United States. Today a very important issue and in congress for the first time. Homeland security was in the hot seat. Homeland security jay johnson said when children show up at the border its a humanitarian crisis as well as a security one. Were talking about large numbers of children without their parents who have arrived at our border hungry, thirsty, exhausted, scared and vulnerable. Children, some as young as five, many preteen many making think way from guatemala, honduras and el salvador, more than 50,000 unaccompanied kids picked up by board agents so that are this year. The principle reason they are leaving their countries is the conditions in those countries. They are really bad. It has to be really bad for a parent to want to part company with his or her own sevenyearold. Democrats say the economies in Central America coupled with Gang Violence are pressuring these kids. Al jazeera filmed these youngsters in detention only last week. But republicans dont bite. Bad economies and Gang Violence is nothing new in Central America, they say. They say there is a reason that suddenly we have tens of thousands of children. Children almost entirely coming from guatemala, honduras and el salvador and illegally entering the United States simply isnt true. I think this humanitarian crisis can be laid directly at the feet of president obama as a result of his policy in 2012. President s deferred childhood for arrival that allow certain young immigrants to be shield as long as they arrive before june 2007. See these republican attacks coming, the administration tried to get ahead of things announcing faster deportation for those apprehended. New detention facilities for children and families, more judges to be sent to the border area to process cases. Nonetheless in the hearing room the realization that thousands of children who are already crossed the line in reality are unlikely to be sent back. Were dealing with children, we get it, but we ought not be leaving the American People with the false impression that some how this system is going to work and is going to lead to removal. Once those children are here, theyre staying here. When men cross the border the border parole pick them up, and send them back. When women come up with children they tend to let them go and place them in the United States where their nearest relatives are. Rumor got back all the way back down the line in Central America that people are let off, they dont have to appear before court in 30 days, and they have a permit. Thats why there are so many people coming, and now apparently Young Children as young as five and seven as well. Now i know you are a bit skeptical. Well, a bit. I would like to know the sauce of thethe source of the rumor. This is going to be the year in bombs presidency if there is going to be an Immigration Reform, its not going to happen next year. Yet we get this influx and those who might want to scuttle any talk of Immigration Reform simply look at these kids and teenagers, and theyre labeled as diseased, and as gang members, you can make an argument that this is not what you want, and im just a little skeptical. But in the meantime there is a fact in the region of 60,000 young people who are here. Thats the reality. And theyre unlikely to be sent back. And they may be deported to their parents in time. John terrett, as john mentioned, some children who cross the border are granted a form of temporary freedom while they wait for hearing. Heidi zhou castro has the story. Reporter after 60 days of travel, three days of detention, marie clutches her son in one hand, and a plastic bag containing her hope for the future in the other. Immigration officers dropped off the mother and child in this bus terminal in texas moments ago. Inside the bag is a permit to remain in the country for 30 days. Thats when a judge will decide whether to deport them back to honduras. Getting in the country feels good, she says, but she didnt come here to feel good. She came for a Better Future for her son and for herself. Border patrol picked them up after they crossed the rio grand on a raft. But what would have been the end of their American Dream now is just a deter. Jimenez and her son are three holding bus tickets to join relstive in florida with Detention Centers at triple capacity and 16,000 Central America immigrants arriving each month, u. S. Immigration officials drop off about 900 women and children at this bus terminal each day. Jimenez said she had heard rumors that single mothers and children would be allowed to stay in the u. S. Thats why she came now, she said. And woman said these families are screened, fingerprinted and still subject for removal but many mothers see it as a free pass. Also from honduras, she said she sought out Border Patrol officers knowing they would help her. Everyone says the United States is helping immigrants enter, she says. Whats driving the migration . The rumor that the permit allows you to stay in the u. S. And the lack of jobs in Central America. Jimenez said the dangers of the journey and discomfort of detention is a small price to pay. She has not showered or brushed her teeth in three days. Behind these gates a volunteer run shelter that offers food, rest and compassion. If i were in the same situation, and my children were starving and if my children were in danger as a mother i would do anything to keep them safe and bring them to the promised land. Kathy runs the shelter and acknowledges it is controversial. The government has nothing but the word of these mothers that they will appear for their immigration hearings. But for the moment those worries were set aside. Here what matters is a warm shower and the journey still ahead. Its different now said the refreshed jimenez. No more detention. Now we go to our families. In 30 days shell have to make a decision appear in court and risk deportation or stay hidden and undocumented. Heidi zhou castro. And coming up, a push to make it harder for the government to keep secrets. The exchange of the freedom of information act. And the run off that mississippi is getting is getting really feisty. We take a look at the mudslinging in todays power politics. In ways power politics it is primary election day in six states, and one of the years biggest battles between the tea party and the republican establishment will get settled. David shuster with more. Reporter primary voters are going to the polls i, and it is in mississippi where an republican senator is facing the race of his life. Cochrane is 76 years old and hes seeking a seventh temperature. Term. But his Tea Party Challenger is running a feisty campaign. He has a history of using sexist language, something that cochrane is trying to highlight at the end. Meet chris mcdaniel. So interesting to see this woman basically using her [bleep] using her breasts to run for office. Thats chris mcdaniel. Mam acita. Hot mama. But mcdaniel is talking about growing up and doing indecent things with animals. The group is featuring beastalty in radio attack ad. This is what cochrane said last week that growing up is fun to do. Doing indecent things to animals. Tell Thad Cochrane youre no farm animal and youre not going to be on the receiving end of this fun any longer. They believe travis child hurst would stand a better chance in the general election if facing mcdaniel than senator cochrane. Now in new yorks primary the attention is on 84yearold congressman charlie rangel. A cloud still hangs over the politician because of an ethics censure, and he faces a challenger he barely defeated in 2012. All we say that we just stay with the facts, who do you thi think. Well get to another wrangle video in just a moment. Theyll decide that states governor. The favorite to win is Lieutenant GovernorAnthony Brown facing off against attorney general doug gansler. This race has been the most expensive in maryland history. All together they have spent 17. 5 million. In president ial politics governor Chris Christie is facing another set of headlines that could make potential donors and activists more nervous over the christie investigations. The securities and Exchange Commission is examining christies potential misuse of funds for the Port Authority of new york and new jersey. Christies Office Remains under investigation over the lane closures of the George Washington bridge. Back to charlie rangel, his supporters have come up with a rap song. We pick it up. [ singing ] if youre going to vote, vote for the rang. Rangel could need help, bill clinton is featured in all the calls in the end. That could make a difference. The only thing i understood in that rap song was charlie rangel. I couldnt understand anything else. Thank you. The new plans fo to make it harder for the development to withhold sensitive documents. Jason, good to have you back on the program, what is the most significant change to the exis existing law in this legislation . Thank you, tony, the major, major change here would be completely reforming what is known as exemption five. Exemption five is one that the government has used most often to are hold sensitive material. For the response i received from the office of the director of national intelligence, this is what it looks like. This is exemption five that theyre citing. What is the redaction . Is that redaction that you dont want us to see . No, this is the redaction that the government does not want the public to see. This is cite often over the past year actually 41 cease ove over 2012 from 2011 to justify the withholding of material. I mean, transparency advocates called it withholding. The changes that the Senate Judiciary committee has offered us today would basically make it much more difficult for the government to christ exemption five, and justify there would be some harm. If they were to release this material. Exemption five yields with the delivering process. So that is a real money with ali velshi major change. Anreal real, real major change. Guidelines that effected the government agency. That was in 2009. Yes, five years ago, 2009. Lets call this improvement, i think thats what its actually called, it gets passed by this congress. Is there enough bipartisan support for the legislation beyond the cosponsors . There is huge bipartisan support. One of the few pieces of legislation where there is enough bipartisan support to get this signed into law. That would be a game changer. Jason, great to see you. Lets get you in front of a real camera instead that have skypey thing. Coming up on Al Jazeera America, a whistle blower at the v. A. Claims workers forged records of veterans who died waiting for care, and s
