special forces operators and meeting with local officials when the gunman opened fire. it is not the only time that week that supposedly a friendly killed a number of u.s. troops in afghanistan and stay there. we will be live from the pentagon in a moment. >> and syrian rebels say they are fighting in new neighborhoods and new tactics in aleppo, and this is following what the rebels call a tactical stronghold by rebels, and they were forced by jets and helicopters and tanks. the opposition activists say that 115 people have been killed just today across the country. many of them in aleppo. the british government meanwhile is planning to increase nonlethal aid to the rebels. so now in the absence of diplomatic progress, the united kingdom will do much more. we will expand our support to the syrian people, and the syrian political opposition with an extra 5 million pounds of nonlethal practical assistance. this will help protect unarmed opposition groups, human rights activists and civilians from some of the worst of the violence. >> and here in the united states, a memorial service is under way for the six people killed in the sikh temple shooting in wisconsin. members of the temple are breaking with tradition to hold a public wake and memorial. they say it is a chance for everyone who wants to share in their grief. the services including hymns, prayers and speeches. well, family members of the temple shooting victims, members of the community and dignitaries are all gathering in a high school gymnasium for today's memorial service, and meanwhile, inside of the temple, itself, a reminder of the massacre is clearly visible. showing you the picture here, you can see the bullet hole in a metal door frame. our ted rowlands got an exclusive look inside of the temple which is a bullet hole that leads into the main prayer area. members say it won't be repaired. in other areas that i have patched the walls and painted and cleaned up other damage from the shooting. and ted joins us from outside of the high school where the memorial service is being held. and the wake started a couple of hours ago, and what has happened so far? >> well, michael, it is amazing how many people have descended on this small town in wisconsin, oak creek, from around the world. a lot of people from india made the journey here, and thousands of people have gone into the gymnasium and taken their time to walk through slowly as all six of the victims are laid out in open caskets with their photos next to each casket, and there's also a video screen displaying the victims' photos, and there is a prayer area, and a sheet has been laid out in front of the seating area where people have been taking the time to pray. one poignant moment was a group of law enforcement folks from the area here came in, and they were embraced by family members and a few people during that exchange broke down. the sikh community here is really hoping that if anything good can come from this, it will be the people now know about them, and that they can assimilate not only in this community, but in communities around the country and the world so that they can avoid anything that happened in the last sunday from happening again. >> yes, turning it into a teaching opportunity. but, you know, how unusual for sikh as to hold a public memorial, and wake like we are seeing today? >> well, very. it is not part of the custom. this is a complete diversion. they talked about it. they talked about whether or not this would be a good idea and they decided, yes, let's do this to invite and not only this community, but people from around the world who want to participate with us in a way that sort of bridges the gap. it is more of a western style if you will, this wake, a public wake, and it does not jibe with the sikh tradition, but they wanted to bridge that gap, and when the over in the next hour, they will have another ceremony and more traditional one starting at the temple. >> you know, it is fascinating that you have an exclusive look inside of the temple after members were aloud back insooloe and describe what it was like for the members as they returned? >> well, it is emotional as you would imagine. a few of them broke down and one of the family members broke down right where his mother died in the temple. it was excruciating to watch system of it, but again, there was an upbeat energy where they were fixing the bullet holes and dry walling the walls and painting and putting in new carpeting and we did see where each of the four victims died in the temple and each one of the spots, and we also saw a very small pantry area where 16 people, men, women, and children hid for hours, and two hours, and some of them were injured in this, and said it is an incredibly small space, and they were terrified in the period, because they thought there were multiple gunmen and that the gunmen were still in the area, and the s.w.a.t. teams had not come into the temple there, and seeing them was an emotional experience as you might imagine. >> ted, i'm sure, and thanks for the reporting. ted rowlands there in wisconsin. three american service members are dead in afghanistan today killed by a man with a gun wearing an afghan military uniform, and the first time this has happened. let's get chris lawrence in here from the pentagon. and chris, this so-called green on blue is more and more regular in more ways and worrying. what do you know about the shooting today? >> well, michael, the three troops killed are all parts of a special operations mission to try to bring some stability to that village there in helmand province. we are also told that they were going there to meet with their local contacts, and that the, that is where they were shot and killed. now, the taliban is claiming that this wshan afg mily official, a policeman who trn on his american allies and lured them in to have dinner, and then killed them. right now sh, the military is sl looking for the gunman, and he is still out there somewhere. >> you know, the one thing with these events as they take place, and be it against american soldiers or isaf in general, the roads are a crucial thing and that is the trust built up between the afghans and the trainers and comrades in arms and it is very damaging, isn't it? >> extremely. even the commander in one of the top xhaernds admitted earlier in this year that these kinds of killings, the so-called green on blue have a disproportionate affect on the troops' morale, because you are there and trying to work closely with someone, and you are putting yourself in a situation to work closely with them, but not fully trusting them in many respects. this ithe third green on plu atta -- green on blue attack this week, and in fact, more of these attacks this year than all of last year, and we are only halfway through the summer. so, that is why you are seeing some of the changes like afghani intelligence officials putting undercover agents into military recruiting areas so that they can sort of sniff out, if people have any sort of extremist tendencies, and you have american commanders using so-called guardian angels to keep an eye on american troops while they are working with the afghans. all of the things that have to be developed because of the lack of trust in some instances. >> yeah, you know, when you look at it, it has been a particularly violent week in afghanistan. there was a bombi on wednesday and three u.s. troops killed and a land mine exploded today, and several afghan civilians killed, and this thing that is sort of drip, drip of casualties. u.s. casualties in the theatre as well. is it a spike in violence or is it not? >> hard to tell. you kind of have to step back and look at it with a little perspective and we will know by the end of the year whether this was a temporary spike or if violence really has seen a dramatic increase in afghanistan, but the incident on wednesday when a suicide bomber blew himself up, kill iing an ay major, air force major, and a command sergeant-major in eastern afghanistan, and the violence is not confined to any one area of the country. it spreads out over many, many areas in really what is devastating when you consider that the u.s. is now on the clock and starting to drawdown some of the forces, and wants to hand over a viable afghan force before they pull out most of the numbers. >> a reminder that the war is still very much on. and 42 u.s. troops killed last month. chris, always good to get your thoughts there. chris lawrence at the pentagon. >> yes. >> and all right. here is more of what we are working on in this hour of newsroom international. have a look at a that picture. you see anything wrong with it? well, it is a u.s. sprinter running with a broken leg. i am not kidding. wait until you see this. if you haven't heard the story, you will want to. and ben wedeman made the jor ri to the front lines of aleppo in syria. >> the biggest danger is snipers on buildings this direction and firing like this. so we can't sort of make a very round about route into this area. >> running for cover and fearing to your life. we will have ben's back story on how he made it out. i am not a vegetarian... look at these teeth! they're made for meat! do i look like i'm stalking plants?

[ gun fire ] >> as you can hear and see there, fierce battles under way between the government and the rebel forces in several cities. and some of the most intense attacks centering on the neighborhoods in aleppo, the country's biggest city, and crucial city where the rebels were in control of at least part of the territory, and our ben wedeman managed the slip in and out of the besieged and very dangerous city. he shows us what it looked like. >> [ speaking foreign language ] >> go, go,o. [ gun fire ] >> all right. we have made it into the issis salahouddin, and the biggest problem is snipers in this direction and firing like this, and so we have had to make a round about route into the area. [ speaking foreign language ] [ no audio ] >> reporter: okay. we are now out of aleppo and heading northwest of here in the direction of a town called el habib and it is a interesting ride and apparently the outpost of the fsa from which we took this truck got hit by a mig shortly after we left we are told without serious injuryies. >> we have left nine people behind us who took care of us, and we wish them all of the best. >> ben wedeman there and kareem cutter our producer. and they are scared and homeless as armed militia men and government forces fight it out. sudanese look for help. we will have a live report live.

[ phillips' lady ] live the regular life. phillips'. welcome back, everyone. a long running dispute between south korea and japan just got reignited and that place is the spark. south korean president's visit to a group of contested islands. the former japanese colonies have been under south korean control for decades, but japan claims that the territory as its own. japan recalled the ambassador to south korea in response to protest mr. le's visit and the islands are said to hold extremely valuable natural gas deposits, and that is what the fuss is about. 25,000 sudanese refugees are on the run again. violence forced them out of their homes already. and now new fighting between the groups and the government are forcing them out of their darfur region where they were in refugee camps. and now, tell us what you ve found with the refugees in terms of food and shelter and necessities, and why were they driven out in the first place? >> well, they are not doing very well. that is the assessment of the u.n. in darfur and i spoke to the chief spokesman there recently. those refugees are already pushed out of their homes during darfur's civil war and living in the refugee camp and then the entire refugee camp, it seems that the u.n. and other groups have left them fighting and they are now in a town called kartum, and many of them are sleeping out in the open and little access to health care and food and water. this is the w.h.o. trying to give support to the people and medical assistance and unclear at this point how many civilians and reyou gees were killed in the fighting and all stems from the unidentified gunman who kidnapped and killed a local ofib -- official. and it demonstrates the tenuous situation there in darfur. the u.n. officials are worried that it could mean a greater uptick in the violence there. >> and you know, you make a point there, and darfur was in the news a lot a few years ago and kind of fallen off of the map if you like, and awe of tu radar and tell us why it is important to pay attention to what happens. >> well, some 3 million people were displaced in the conflict in darfur, and hundreds of thoud sand thoudsands were killed in the area, and we remember the violence in the darfur region and recently in other regions, but the problem is that the peace system was never solidify and the u.n. officials tell me that fewer civilians were being killed in the last year and year and a half, but there is an increase in criminal activity and all of those weapons in the darfur region have just been flooded, flooded in there and been used by the militia now to terrorize people. and five humanitarian agencies had the offices looted as well, and very little -- and robbed out of the home, and you have a situation despite the kinds of seeds peace being there and despite the international kr criminal court having several indictments on the sudanese leaders, the long term peace is elusive in darfur, and the latest uptick is a troubling sign. >> yes, indeed it is. we are having a little bit of trouble with the signal, but we got the gist of it. i know you have a piece on cnn.com at the moment, and people can check that out. david mckenzie, thank you so much. good to see you. when we come back, we are going to talk about something that went from the pitch to the new york stock exchange. british soccer team, and they call it football of course, manchester united goes public, and the question is, is it a good investment or just a nice piece of something to own by the fans? alison kosik is going to break it down for us when we come back. you know what i love about this country? trick question. i love everything about this country! including prilosec otc. you know one pill each morning treats your frequent heartburn so you can enjoy all this great land of ours has to offer like demolition derbies. and drive thru weddings. so if you're one of those people who gets heartburn and then treats day after day, block the ad with prilosec otc and don't get heartburn in the first place.
