condemned the court's decision and also international outcry. the u.n. human rights chief calling the verdicts a travesty of justice. well in the last couple of hours the white house called for all three men to be pardoned. we'll talk to peter greste's brother andrew for his assessment and more on the international outcry for the convictions. first mohamed ado has this report on the day's events. >> a guilty verdict nearly sick months in the making. the crime, doing their job as journalists. al jazeera correspondent peter greste, produc producers mohamey and baher mohamed were given seven years, and baher mohamed given afternoon additional three years for spent cartridge found on him.

disbelief from their families. >> seven years for peter greste, and five other, defendants present. my god! my god! sorry. >> that's crazy. >> finish. >> that's crazy. that's absolutely crazy. >> it's clearly a corrupt and fraudulent verdict, the case is politically motivated and everything is wrong with it. >> the response from the austrailian government was swift, too. >> this kind of verdict does nothing to support egypt's claim to be on a transition to democracy. and the australi australian govt urges the situation in egypt. >> the egyptian prosecution had pushed for maximum sentences. six al jazeera journalist was sentenced each to ten years in

prison. they were accused spreading false news and aiding the muslim brotherhood which the government has designated a terrorist organization. they are charges condemned and rejected by al jazeera. a fourth al jazeera journalist abdullah al-shami was released after 307 days in prison without being charged. the prosecutor had urged his release, had been on a hunger strike since january. abdel fatah al-sisi has determined, clear message to both local and international media that says egypt does not tolerate dissent and raises serious questions against general plan's accusation.

mohamed ado, al jazeera. >> peter greste's brother was in court for verdict. tell us what your reaction was when you heard that verdict. >> ah, it's difficult to come up with words, adequately describe the emotions, you know, dumbfounded. devastated. guarded. it's difficult to comprehend, really. it's still taking a little bit of time for the -- for it to sink in, really. >> obviously, it's just happened today. but have you thought about you know where to go from here? >> there's been -- yeah, there's a lot of different things on the table i guess. it's just a matter of us, the family, regrouping and assessing what our options are, and what's possible and go from there. we haven't really made any firm decisions yet.

and really we've just been focusing on the court case. and trying to get through this. and you know, well, we were hoping that he'd be completely exonerated. obviously we knew that a sentence was a possibility. but it's -- you just can't prepare yourself. the no matter how hard you think about it. for a verdict like this. >> and andrew, we saw your parents in a report that we just played as they saw the verdict. i mean obviously it was heartbreaking images. how were they hol holding up. >> look they're devastated as well. it's a pretty hard day for all of us. i had a chance to speak to mom and dad. so as you can expect, a verdict like this is just heartbreaking and devastating and to have parents you know with a son locked up in a foreign prison,

and we've always maintained his innocence, he's done nothing wrong and it's absolutely heartbreaking. >> and andrew, i mean we've seen international outcry really, not by journalists, ordinary people, also from the u.n, from the white house, from the u.s. secretary of state, i mean that must give you courage that the world is still focused on peter greste's case and of course the other two al jazeera colleagues. >> of course. it's fafnlg. it's really quite -- fafnlg, fantastic. it's uplifting to see that support, something that means a great thing to peter and mohamed and baher as well. i hope we can keep it up and eventually that you know, actually it has the desired result. >> well, as the verdicts were announced and the sentencing as well, we saw it on twitter and the internet, an upswing of

interest, as with the internet it kind of dwindled after the first few hours. what do you think can be done to make sure the world's eyes stay on this case? >> i think it's about maintaining the pressure and within the media an peter, peter believes that there's -- that this case isn't just about themselves it's about freedom of press and free speech and there's a real -- that's the real issue that surrounds this. and i think it median a lot to all journalists. and that's why we saw so much support there in the courtroom. and the support worldwide from all sorts of media, organization he and governments. >> well andrew we of course join you that peter, mohamed and baher will be out of prison very, very soon. andrew greste, peter greste's brother. thank you. >> thank you. >> well, let's take a closer look now at the much-criticized

evidence which was used to convict our journalists. as kamal santa plea maria expla. >> one of the reasons for that is the complete absurdity of the claims and evidence brought against them. we felt it was important to show you again exactly what was revealed in that cairo court, and what it doesn't tell you about our journalism. go back to april 10 when the prosecution presented its first evidence. they claimed that the work of peter greste, mohamed fahmy and baher mohamed smeared egypt but it had nothing to do with egypt. it was made by peter greste, horse welfare in egypt, that was by sky news arabia.

and shown with absolutely no context. also with no context we have these images you'll see here from peter greste's laptop. those are of his parents on holiday in germany and in latvia. some al jazeera footage was shown, from if the muslim brotherhood, a group of course now backed. but the court also showed greste's other reports about sheep herding and football and finally this. it ask a pop video by the sing are songwriter gotio, just what this is meant to prove, who knows. throughout the hearings there was simply no credible evidence on hand. unfortunately it's that very evidence which has left our colleagues behind bars and the world asking, for what? >> a chilling and draconian sentence, those words from u.s. secretary of state john kerry are part of a wave of international criticism.

the u.n. warned that miscarriage of justice risks becoming the norm in egypt. barnaby phillips reports. >> all over the world, the condemnation, from far and wide. >> we are deeply dismayed by the fact that a sentence has been imposed and we are apawme appaly the severity of it. it is hard to credit that the court in this case could have reached this conclusion. >> on sunday, the u.s. secretary of state, john kerry was in cairo offering military and diplomatic support to the egyptian government. landing in baghdad less than 24 hours later, hearing the news from egypt he gave this reaction. >> it is a chilling and dr draconian sentence. and it's deeply disturbing to see in the midst of egypt's

transition. it simply cannot stand if egypt is going to be able to move forward in the way that egypt needs to move forward. >> the u.k.'s foreign minister calls for the egypt e-egyptian foreign minister to review the sentence. >> i'm absolutely appalled, including the egyptian journalists and a british national, where important evidence was not available to the defense team. >> the united nations high commissioner for human rights, says the charges are too broad and vague, reinforcing the belief that the real target is freedom of expression. it wasn't really governments and journalists who reacted with dismay. >> as i've heard today from all around the world, from people of all persuasions, are saying to egypt, come on. this is wrong. this is showing the world that

your judicial system is really a farce. >> so a shocking verdict. that perhaps not a surprising one, given recent developments in egypt. >> this doesn't come out of the blue in terms of what we're seeing of the suppression of freedom of expression, freedom of assembly more generally, bloggers journalists those who speak out in different context, those who have been harassed, jailed receiving long sentences, suffocation of the expression of freedom, very bad for the individuals but for egypt also. >> the convicted journalists are now deeply concerned about their future. but they know that their supporters will carry on campaigning on their behalf. barnaby phillips, al jazeera. >> and the white house has just declared its condemnation of the sentences. the spokesman josh earnest made this me to egypt's president. >> we call on the egyptian government to pardon these individuals or commute their

sentence soas they can be released -- so they can be released immediately, starting with the other dmefts this trial. we strongly urge president al-sisi in the spirit of his pledge to review all human rights legislation to provide the protections for free expression and assembly as well as the fair trial safeguards that are required by egypt's international obligations. >> for more analysis of the comments coming out of the u.s. let's go live to patty culhane. she is in washington, d.c. for us. patty, it is of no surprise that john kerry would mention this, he is in the region, we've just heard from the white house but how else has this been playing in the u.s? >> barbara i can tell you it is getting quite a bit of media attention. playing more of a slap at the obama administration. as barnaby just mentioned, secretary of state john kerry was just in egypt on sunday. after his conversation with president al-sisi that he gave

him a sense of commitment to make basic democratic reforms. and i can tell you also that a senior administration official told before the verdict that they do not believe that the claims that judiciary is independent, so that is i think why you see secretary kerry coming out with such strong comments and they're also being echoed here at the white house. >> strong comments by obviously john kerry and others in the u.s. what else can they do other than just condemn egypt? >> well it's interesting. right a few months after president morsi was deposed, the obama administration decided to cut back on some of the $1.5 billion in aid that it gives to egypt. 12 days ago that aid was quietly restored. $572 million worth of military equipment, another $200 million in economic development is going to be on the way soon and secretary kerry says those apache helicopters they

herald --ed holding back, would be on the way very, very soon. is that delivery going to be made are there going to be any changes? the likely only change we will layer about is the $70 million that one senator held back because of the democratic concerns in egypt. we do expect a statement from him in a couple of hours. >> we'll cross back to you a little later for that. patty culhane in washington, d.c. thank you. and of course we're going to have more coverage of the al jazeera verdicts coming up. >> mohamed fahmy struck me as nothing more or nothing less than a journalist. >> talk about their expertise and respectability in the field. also the dramatic end to a stand offof a south korean soldier wanted in a shooting

spree. what the hosts need to do to progress to the next round in soccer. let's go to iraq now and john kerry says u.s. support for iraqi security forces will be intense and sustained. the u.s. secretary of state made the comments on an unannounced visit to the capitol baghdad. sunni led reckless have been expanding their control of the northwest of the country. from baghdad, al jazeera's imran khan reports. >> u.s. secretary of state john kerry's rieivelg in bagz is part -- arrival in baghdad. offered support for iraq. but his key message will to be push for support ever iraq. >> i.s.i.l. is not as it claims, fighting on behalf of sunnis.

i.s.i.l. is not fighting for a stronger iraq. quite the contrary. i.s.i.l. is fighting to divide iraq and to destroy iraq. so this is a critical moment for iraq's future. it is a moment of decision. fosr leaders. and it's a moment of great urgency. >> many here will have listened to the u.s. secretary of state's words looking for clues that the u.s. is frustrated with prime minister nouri al-maliki. srncertainly sunni politician he have been outspoken but kerry's words were diplomatic and that won't satisfy the prime minister a's critics. in particular, sunni sheiks are. wanting a government more inclusive. >> the rights of sunnis must be given back and you know after that we can't accept something called a central government.

>> meanwhile gun fights break out between the islamic state of iraq and the levant fighters and iraqi troops in baquba. the i.s.i.l. offensive continues on the border. taking a check post, leaving the government empty. refugees within their own country continue to flee the northwestern town of mosul in control of the rebels. this time iraqi air force strikes have sparked the exodus. >> we've been here for seven days but those who came today said they were being bombed from the air. especially today it was very heavy with exploding gas cylinders. they're throwing these gas cylinders or families. >> already opposition politician he say the u.s. invasion of iraq that led to the events of today pointing out that before they

arrived groups like i.s.i.l. and al qaeda didn't have a presence in the country. imran khan, al jazeera baghdad. in the last couple of weeks, hundreds of thousands of people have been leaving their homes, fearing they will be are targeted by rally fighters. >> first fled are the mosul area. children and grandchildren desperately worried about his future. >> translator: where can i go? i'm taking care of all of them. and this kid is disabled. back home he'd die. i left my house, i left everything. in the middle of the night. >> like hajala, people here fled when islamic state of iraq and the levant sweep through their villages. for them it was a matter of life or death. >> they think we're infidels because we're shia, my wife is

in baghdad and i'm stuck here, i can't reach them. there's no way i can go by road, it's too dangerous. >> the polarization along sectarian lines is hard. most lay low, preferring to keep to themselves. mistrust is running high. >> now with this situation the differences are showing. so these people that have come to us they're afraid of each other. when they come here whether they're sunni or shia they're forced to live together. they have no choice. >> several families live in this school. they all fled from the same district, staying together, helps them feel safe and their worry of visitors. it's really very difficult to have 9/1 anyone to speak to youn camera and when one of them accepts everyone else wants to make sure they say the right thing not to put anyone in

danger. >> the risks evolved in speaking -- involved in speak out. >> i.s.i.l. didn't harm anyone at first. but gradually, their true colors began to show. each day someone goes missing and the longer it goes, the worse it's going to get. >> translator: unless the kurdish government controls the area of mosul, we won't go back. wherever they are we'll stay with them. >> iraq is being torn apart by the day. many say it's already broken beyond repair and they fear they'll never enjoy again the home and life they once had in a unitieunited iraq. >> more information on our website, the address

young men out in front. but did not look particularly dangerous. our crew, our camera crew, went in for a closer filming look while i and the driver at the time and another young egyptian producer with me waited in the van. so we could quickly get away. the driver abandoned the car for whatever reason. people were lying in front of the car and started to knock on the car. just then a mob approached across these five lanes. and i could see that our local producer and my cameraman and my producer were being pursued by this mob and mohamed fahmy. and my driver had abandoned the car. i left over the middle seat, jumped into the van as mohamed fahmy held onto the back railing and said drive drive. and this mob in front of me said just drive through them, i'm going oget you out of here and that's what happened.

for the next five or six minutes he directed me down this side street and this side street and this side street and we finally managed to get to a safe place. he absolutely saved our lives. i'm not a leg expert but i can tell you mohamed fahmy struck me as nothing more and nothing less than a professional journalist. >> margaret warner, remembering how it was to work with mohamed fahmy. spokesperson of a muslim cleric, where he was due to arrive from canada. the chaos prompted officials to redirect the jet hundreds of kilometers away to lahor, behaved in canada. -- based in cant, free education to hundreds of thousands of pakistanis. over the past few years he has become an ardent anticorruption

donetske. what do you think will be the result for the local population? >> i think the biggest impact will be a sense of relief that if this cease fire can lead to substantive negotiations, no guarantee it will, then the prospects of an all-out conflict, might be averted. we've spent the day further east from here in lufn luhansk city. the cease fire has been unilaterally by the ukraine government. it will have its own cease fire. they want compensation for families for cities they still want ukrainian troops pulled out of the east. these are things that i think president poroshenko in kyiv will find very difficult to actually meet. but it is an opening and from

that point of view then i think that the people here in the east will be grateful for that small mercy. >> so paul, i guess as you've been seeing it could lead to negotiations difficult those mighten but do you think some of the residents there will sees on it as a chance to escape and leave the area? >> well, we've been as i say in luhansk and we have seen people leefg by train, leaving by road and this hasn't just been happening today, it's been happening over the last week or so. because the very real fear was based on what president poroshenko himself said, that if the separatists did not lay down their weapons by the end of the cease fire on friday morning he would in his words eliminate them. that led the way to a substantial military offensive in the east and ordinary civilians were growing

increasingly terrified by that prospect. will that separatist cease fire avert that? we're not sure. if this expires without any substantial agreement on peace process then quite frankly a military offensive is still in the cards. it's up in the air a little bit but as i say, a glimmer of hope. >> paul brennan, thank you. meanwhile a russian freight train has derailed in ukraine's east following an explosion on the tracks. the blast forced 14 cars off if tracks and no casualties have been reported. authorities say at least 300 meters of the track have been damaged. it's not yet clear what actually caused the blast. the polish prime minister says the secret recording of more than a dozen officials and businessmen is an attempt to destabilize the country. donald tusq says it's coming at

that they have the most crazy football fans. the argentines claim they have the most crazy, the english are very animated but i tell you something the dutch are at a whole new level. the netherlands came into this towrnltournament for very low expectations but they go from crazy to crazier. we have spent some time with them at sao paulo to get a sense of their accommodations during the world cup. >> staying in hotels? not here, not for these fans. ♪ ♪ >> at this park on the outside skirts of sao paulo more than 500 self proclaimed crazy fans from holland have set up their world cup base camp.

this is the opportunity to come out against cameroon. yes, cameroon will have some of the weight off their shoulders, but they have been poor, the poorest african country during this tournament. maybe it's a chance for brazil to rack up some goals. first and foremost, scolari needs to rack up some goals. circulate they qualify as expected.onexpected, one of tho. >> on the other group, croatia, was there any to do? >> we keep talking about games during this world cup that are difficult to predict. what about this one: you've got mexico in a situation where they need just a draw but croatia came back against that defeat

with brazil by playing really great in the next game. so it's going to be a game as i say it's going the to be really difficult to actually predict and isn't that the case in the world cup? >> for now thank you very much. well to other news now, wimbledon men's champ andy murray, last got his tournament off to a good stop. he raced through the first set taking it 6-1 when his opponent stepped off his game in the second but couldn't hold the first men's champion for 77 years, took ton next two sets, 6-4,7-5. that is all for sports now, barb in london. >> thank you raul. one of the world's most are famous works of art could be yours if you have the money.
