Jane, the area were in is where the most recent executions took place. 11 took place late last night. It was about 3 00 or 4 00 in the morning. It is believed that six men were executed right here in this street. You can still see remanents of that. These bags were placed over peoples head and there is still blood in the streets. Just further down the street a similar site. Bags placed over peoples heads and executed. Earlier there were there was a sign placed up above here saying why people had been executed, that they had been accused and found guilty by a revolutionary court of collaborating with the israelis. That is made up from various factions here who had come together, ordinary people, ordinarily people accused would go through the regular court system in gaza. At the moment that is not meeting during this wartime. This revolutionary court has been set up. And justice was done here according to the factions. Pretty clear how barbaric this war is on both sides. And strikes are ongoing . Strikes are ongoing. Overnight at least five israeli people were killed in the air strikes. The israelis it would appear are still looking to disrupt any tunnels or networks of tunnels. That has been major objective for them. Over 60 kills since hostilities resumed on tuesday afternoon. Jane ferguson with that live update from gaza lets go back to our top story. A shiite group has opened fire in iraqs province. 73 people are dead. Kurdish forces in the north have pushed Islamic State fighters south to near where the killing happened. They have been fighting to crush the rebels who have declared a state in part of iraq and syria, including in kurdish territory. Lets get more from erbil in northern iraq. Lets start off with the attack on the mosque. Quite significant in this game of war, isnt it . Reporter absolutely, jane. In fact its the sort of thing that everyone has feared could be the spark for a new civil war. According to witnesses there, members of a Shiite Militia who had been recruiting to fight against the Islamic State group entered this mosque in the farming village about 120 kilometers northeast of bagdad. They locked the doors according to witnesses, and then opened fire. Now there are dozens dead, the exact number unconfirmed. But people say this might have been in retaliation for a roadside bomb left at a recruitment event by the same Shiite Militia. Okay. And what about the offensive against the i. S. Fightering in the north . How is that playing out . That is continuing on at least a couple of fronts as we speak. There is continued fighting that was backed earlier by u. S. Air strikes near the mosul dam. But the fighting continues near the dam where Islamic StateGroup Fighters are still putting up strong resistance. It is also continued in another area in the disputed territories claimed by both the iraqi central government, and the Kurdish Regional government. Now that fighting is believed to have involved mustily the Kurdish Forces who are trying to retake that city. That city is key, because it is part of a whole area taken over by the Islamic State group. Thank you for that. The United Nations says more than the figure is nearly double of who have died in the conflict. Researchers say more than 50,000 victims havent been included because they had no name, date, or location of death. And they have criticized the Security Council saying it puts politics and National Interests ahead of human suffering and global security. Shortterm considerations and National Interests narrowly defined have repeatedly taken precedence over intolerable human suffering, and longterm threats to International Peace and security. I firmly believe that greater responsiveness by this council would have saved hundreds of thousands of lives. Supporters of the ousted egyptian president took to the streets in the country on friday. A series of anticoup protests have been staged. They are calling for morsi to be reinstated and they are calling for justice. Lawyers for the three al jazeera journalist jailed in egypt have now filed appeals. Baher mohamed, mohammed fahmy, and peter greste have been imprisoned for 236 days now. They were falsely accused of helping the outlawed muslim brotherhood. In june, mohammed fahmy, and peter greste were given sevenyear sentences. Baher mohamed got an extra three years for having a spent bullet casing in his possession which he picked up after a protest. A convey from russia had been held up for a week heading to ukraine. Neve barker has the latest on the convoy. Reporter there have been some real concerns from the ukrainian side that these trucks may well be used to help separatists fighters in the city of luhansk. And some of those trucks may make it to donetsk. We gather that the ukrainians have said that this is an illegal crossing of the border by the trucks. Some comments from the russian side that they are being escorted by separatists fighters. The big question is how are the Ukrainian Army going to respond . Why did the Border Guards allow these trucks to cross over. What are the red cross going to do now that they have said they will not take part in escorting these vehicles to their intended designations . It sounds like a very tense journey for these trucks whatever their final point of arrival should be. Malaysians have paid tribute to those who died in mh17. The families of the victims will have some closure, but they are still far from knowing the truth about that faithful day. Here is our report from Eastern Ukraine. Reporter this is one of the biggest crime scenes in aviation history. Flight mh17 ripped apart in the air, and the wreckage scattered across these fields and villages. But there are still many clues that point to a missile attack. Investigators will be s be searching the debris for clues. But there is growing evidence it was a separatists that fired the missile that brought down the aircraft. An hour before the plane was shot down, reporters saw missile launches in the territory. This is the report he sent reporter this u. S. Intelligence map shows at 2 15 in the afternoon, around the time that contact was lost with the plane, a surface to air missile was fired from prorussian military. And ukrainian intelligence says this conversation happened just after the plane went down. They tell a Russian Security official they shot a plane down. We cant verify this recording. The separatists shot down a military transport plane on monday the 14th of july, three days before mh17 was shot down in the same area. It seems likely the separatists thought they were locking on to another military transport which would be fairly similar from a radar point of view on the ground. Reporter three hours later, separatists leader tweets that tweet was later removed. And this is what he had to say when asked if he brought down the airliner. Translator i did not have any buk missile launcher under my command, and i did not give any orders to bring down a plane. Reporter russia accuses ukraine of shooting down the plane. But the pattern of shrapnel holes on the fuselage tells darnth story. You shouldnt see heavy damage by the cockpit, and it would be a different signed of shrapnel damage. Reporter to prove this, the wreckage needs to be taken away and pieced back together. The relatives of those that died in these sunflower fields deserve answers. For the crash site was left unsecured for so long, it may be too late for investigators to come up with a definitive conclusion that all sides can accept. Lots more to come this al jazeera news hour. The american doctor infected with ebola leaves hospital, but Drugs Companies are being slow to come up with an available cure. Im Andrew Thomas in sydney, australias immigration minister has faced tough questions on why his country locks up child refugees. And a twist in the transfer saga. We have the latest on his proposed move to liverpool coming up. In yemen friday marks the expiration of a houthi rebel deadline for the government to quit. Earlier the president met with members of parliament to discuss ways of restoring stability and security in the country, the talks follow demonstrations by Houthi Rebels there the capitol. Protests have also been held against a petro tax hike introduced last month. Lets have a closer look at the houthi group who is calling for the government to step down. The ultimatum comes from houthis who control areas in the north. They are mainly sunni yemen, but make up a majority in the northern highlands, including the region around the capitol. They have been fighting the government since 2004 saying they are discriminated against. The government says they want to rule aim pose islamic law. The latest crisis is due to the hout houthis government operation proposal to divide the area into six regions. Translator the situation is tense, it is strongly sense. Simply [ inaudible ] these armed houthi groups are laying siege to the capitol city. It is the main capital city of yemen. The houthi group would like to put the country in a sectarian war. The houthi group has betrayed the revolution, they seized the military camp and held an alliance with the president. They also betrayed the people and the transition period as they are undermining the state the state efforts. They also betrayed the National Dialogue as they strayed away from all of the outcomes and agreements made. Namely handing down the arms together with other armed groups. The situation is dire and tense. However, the yemen people cannot allow an armed group to undermine their dream of freedom and state independence. Peacebuilding is your specialalty, sir. How do you propose that the government and houthi groups go about achieving some sort of reconciliation. Translator one is to restriction the security [ inaudible ] and the military. And i unfortunately so far this obligation has not been achieved and the interim government has not achieved most of the obligations and the duties it should have shouldered. In order to rebuild peace in yemen, its important to abide by the agreement signed by all of the parties to the dialect. Its the outcomes of the national dialect. Both the government and armed groups. Two american aid workers infected with ebola have been discharged from hospital in the United States. They were treated with the experimental drug zmap. Above all im forever thankful to god for sparing my life. And im glad for any attention my sickness has attracted in the plight of this epidemic, please continue to a pray for the people of west africa, and encourage those in leadership to do Everything Possible to bring this Ebola Outbreak to an end. It was the right decision to bring them patient back for treatment. What we learned in caring for them will help advance the worlds understanding of how to treat ebola virus infections and help hopefully to improve survival in parts of the world where patients with this infection are treated. Despite the recovery, multinational Drug Companies are accused of not doing enough to fight ebola. There is no profit in treating the disease, and that is Holding Companies back. Reporter in the fight against ebola, the Worlds Largest pharmaceutical companies have been absent without leave. There are few effective treatments. A small number of u. S. , european, and african doctors who are medical workers have been treated with an untested serum called zmap. The zmap serum is produced by a small Californian Company in very limited quantities. It said all of the serum it has now been sent to africa free of charge. Al jazeera asked whether any Major Companies were working on ebola. The answer, no. It hasnt gained real popularity with respect to r d in the pharmaceutical trade if you will, fig pharma. Reporter africans and their leaders are asking why there is so little research. Translator yes, i do think the response of the International Community has been fairly weak so far. Reporter the biggest Drug Companies had combined revenues of 233 billion last year. But research on a disease that afflicts a relatively small number of people in some of the worlds poorest countries isnt a Good Business proposition. To create the science for a cure and develop effective treatments, the incentives are not very strong there. Reporter there is some hope. Scientists at the u. S. National institute of allergy and infectionous disease are working hard to crack ebolas secrets. There is a vaccine that is promising that the announcement was made last week that it was going to be fast tracked and will go into human trials in september, and if those human trials are are are successful, it could become available for use in 2015. Now if that is true, thats very good news. Reporter good news for future victims, but too late for those who are dying now. Rob reynolds, al jazeera, washington. I want to talk about the weather with richard now. The flooding in japan what is happening there . Things are looking better at the moment. We have lost the really heavy rain. On wednesday 215 millimeters plus in the space of just three hours. What were seeing now is a more typical monsoon rain pattern. You have this area of lowpressure . It is giving significant rain still, but then in western japan, where we had the worst of the landslides, the ground has already been loosened, in fact there are warnings out for the risk of further landslides primarily in the north and far south. So we can still see issues here. You can see more heavy rain in the next day or so. On the other side of the pacific is where were expecting some potential flooding in the coming days, because this cluster of clouds is a dropping cyclone over the British Virgin islands at the moment, and is expected to track further towards the north and west, so its going to miss more eastern areas. But we will find some very heavy pain across spain and through the bahamas, across parts of cuba and a very wet outlook. The u. S. National guard is pulling out of the town of ferguson, but protesters are still calling for the Police Officer who shot and killed 18yearold Michael Brown to be arrested and charged. And another shooting in nearby st. Louis is raising more questions. But Police Contact is only part of the picture. Reporter its americas monument to western expansion, the gateway arch, the symbol of a Journey Towards a prosperous future. Yet live is still bound to a history of racism. St. Louis has been this way for a long time. They used to sell slaves during the civil war and i dont think that mentality has ever left. Reporter murals pay homage to slained civil rights leaders, inside a survival kit from the aclu is attached to the wall. I was going up to the gas station, and an officer stopped me right here reporter just for walking down the street . Just for walking down the street. Reporter and how does that make you feel . It makes me feel bad, sad in a way. Poverty is only one aspect of it. The other aspect is the lack of investment in your urban core. Reporter carol heads the center on urban research at washington university. In neighborhoods like these where lowincome residents are more likely to be black. The contrast between have and have not grows as the tax base crumbles. The result schools and other programs that move people forward suffer. America is the land of opportunity for those who have the ability to take advantage of those investments. Reporter across the United States there are many cities that have segregated neighborhoods and divided areas. But here if you drive down del mar boulevard, they call this the delmar divide because whites are on one side and the blacks on the other side. The disconnect is social, political and economic. And the geographical divide where you have purposes of color, largely living in one segment of the city and the county, and whites and persons with means living in another segment of the city and the county, only exacerbates that. Reporter some st. Louis natives acknowledge, segregation exists here, intentional or not. For instance, just going in to the north city, if you are white most people think i just cant go there. Whether its racism or a community you dont interact with as much, which is sad. Reporter a divide some compare to native americans being put on reservations. If you break it down in that way, you get a better understanding of how you are being herded, manipulated and shoved here. And why you have this type of scene. Reporter he bought a house in this blighted neighborhood for just 4,000, believing one investment at a time can make a difference. A difference, he hopes can be ignited by the racial flash point in ferguson. Asylumspeaking children who arrive by boat to australia face mandatory detention.
