day of sport. wimbledon, tennis, tour de france and a world cup in brazil. the final four teams are confirmed. we'll tell you how they got there later in the programme. now, the palestinian timer beaten by israeli police has been released from custody. he has been fined and will spend 10 days under house arrest. he was detained at a protest in jerusalem over the murder of his cousin who was burned alive by right wing israelis. we go live to jerusalem. we know he's been released under house arrest. what were the charges though?

>> there were no charges handed to him. the court has the right to charge him if he wants to. it is aware that he and his family want to head back to florida on july 16th. the lawyer believes if the israeli court wants to charge him, they'll do that before he's meant to leave on the 16th. as we mentioned he's not only on house arrest, he's not allowed to come near the area of shoe fat for about 15 days, he been released on bail and that will be reimbursed. how can he be put under bail, house arrest while there are no charges yet? >> there were no charges handed to him. when we spoke to the lawyers,

they said that he could be charged, could not receive charges, may be completely aquid from the case. this is a decision they made, a preliminary decision before the court hearing to release him. the question was what would be decided as terms and conditions of his release, and this is what this were. no charges, but the accusations were throwing rocks at israeli security forces and molotov cocktails during protests and clashes last week. >> let's talk about another development. what has dom light about the palestinian -- come to light about the palestinian who was arrested in connection with the three israelis? >> there are no further details about how long he is going to be arrested for, or whether the army has found any evidence, but the army has, indeed, confirmed that it has arrested a

palestinian man in hebron in the west bank. according to his family, the israeli authorities, the army summoned him twice for questioning. in the case of the killing of three israeli settlers, but he didn't show up. the family suggestive that he wasn't in hiding like the rest of the suspects of the he was not at home when twice the israeli army showed up. they insist that he is incident. we do know that he was gaoled in an israeli twiften for four years to 2002 to 2006. and according to reports he was detained on suspicion that he was affiliated with hama. >> meanwhile, the air force said it bombed 10 more sights inside gaza and the latest strikes

after 18 rockets were fired into israel on saturday. the military wing is warning israel to stop the air strikes and they released the video showing rocket haking facilities. it's a folish situation that risks endangering citizens. 29 people have been killed in two attacks on the kenyan coast. in my opinion by gunmen at a training center. 20 other people were killed in the pear. we have more from nairobi. >> another horrific series of attacks on kenya's coast. two attacks, one targetting a police station in gamba, on the tama river. and the other targetting civilians and hindi. people are saying or wondering who is spol for the attacks. -- responsible for the attacks. al-shabab claimed

responsibility. last time around when they claimed responsibility the government blamed local political networks. all of this is adding to a sense of confusion and fear. the opposition is proposing dialogue with the government on security and corruption, and other big issues in the country. and they are saying if the government doesn't talk to them they will hold a rally on monday. this is adding to political tension and ethnic and tribal tension in the country. some people are leaving the homes because they are so afraid. >> reporter: susan is waiting. she wants to get her four children, the family safa and all her belongings on to one of these buses. but they are full. many of the people leaving are from western kenya. seven years ago, after a contested presidential election,

they were among the many victims of violence. >> i have decided to leave. i remember how bad 2007 got. i feel threatened and i'm worried all the time. when a snake bites you once, you don't want it to bite you again. >> ethnic tension is nothing new in kenya. recent political pressure is exposing gigss. raila odinga who lost the election last year wants the government to agree to talks. >> close dose to odinga accused him of trying to grab power. observers say all of this is leading to hate speech on social media. >> the environment is toxic, creating fear, forcing individuals to leave their homes. it's a combination of online and offline actions, particularly by political leaders. kenya's police officer is trying

to reassure people and has this advice. >> those fearing or are dreading and they make a report of the police station. >> many people are afraid of this. more attacks by al-shabab or local armed groups. 60 people have been killed in the past month. >> reporter: people have taken all their possessions. there is a sense here and in many parts of kenya that people are losing confidence in the ability of security forces and the government to protect them. people from all ethnic tribes want amani or peace. politicians refuse to sit and talk, the uncertainty and suffering will continue. it's not clear when the families will want to return.

iraq's kurds are engaged in fierce fighting with sunni armed groups in the eastern province of dhuluiya. they say the military objectionive is to reach the mountains, the natural boundary of their homeland. zeina khodr travelled to the front lines and filed this report. >> reporter: another funeral of a peshmerga fighter. the kurdistan battle said it would not get involved in the shia forces or the armed groups. iraq's kurds are caught up in the conflict nonetheless. there is no official casualty toll, but kurdish forces are suffering casualties. the fighting has been fierce in this corner of the eastern province of dhuluiya. this town is an urban battle ground. many of the 40,000 kurd and arab

residents have left. peshmerga fighters show us the areas under their control. as the vehicle approaches our position the fighters are uneasy. they are concerned then my has breached their lines. there doesn't seem to be a clear front line. sunni armed groups are based inside the town. their snipers prevented the kurds from taking it. the kurds say they are not fighting sunnis, but what they call terrorists. the peshmerga general explains the military objective is not just to take jelola, but they want to push south until they reach the borders of their historical homeland. >> that's the natural border. the mountains. we not reach the mountains just we, fighting inside the islamic state and the other

groups, all these fighting. >> reporter: jel owla was part of disputed territory. now that the army has fled, the kurds want the land. >> the battle is about to enter the second month. it's far from offer. kurdish peshmerga officials expect this to be a prolonged conflict. the kurd's soldiers are armed and few in number. they are within range of mortars and sniper fire. they have been ambushed. capturing jel owla has been hard enough. holding the supply lines may prove to be more difficult. six soldiers have been killed in southern yemen during an ambush by suspected al qaeda gunmen. the attack happened on the main roads in the yemeni province. the army launched an operation to drive out the al qaeda fighters from the neighbouring

province. egyptian security forces fired at drivers outside cairo as they protested the hike in fuel prices. the government says the increase is necessary, but it is not popular in a country where half the population lives below the poverty line. >> a 70% increase in fuel prices took effect immediate and commuters are angry. >> this will affect everything - food, drink, transport, children's expenses and work. how can all these people afford a living. this is not fair. >> after the government removed subsidies on friday taxi drivers say they'll go out of business. >> gasoline used to cost 45, and now it cost 110. that is not a small increase. we can't pay the rent, let alone deal with the increase. >> these pictures appear to show taxis near cairo parked in protest. al jazeera journalists have been

gaoled in egypt and the network is banned so we cannot verify the pictures uploaded on social media. there were reports of skirmishes in many cities. egypt's prime minister says the cuts are needed as subsidies were costing a quarter of the budget. >> the government is not against the poor people. it's working it fix things, look at the condition that our hospitals are in. >> natural gas prices were increased and the electricity polices have gone up. with power cuts egyptians are paying more. before becoming president the former general promised subsidies would be removed and the burden wouldn't be on the poor. >> we are in a fearful situation in regard to the subsidies. we will not be able to pressure the poor people more than that. we can revive the subsidies to make more go to the poor, not the rich. >> this comes a day after the

anniversary of the coup that overthrew mohamed mursi, a day marked by marches by anti-coup activists. it's an unpopular move by the strong man. for more on the economic commence facing egypt, i'm joined from beirut by the president of the quiro based institute. good to have you with us. does this fuel price hike - does it get the budget out of trouble, which seems to be the reason why you did this. >> no, it's part of o programme to help cut the budget deficit. last year in the year ending june 2013, the budget deficit was 14% of g.d.p., about the highest in the world. in the year finished, 12% of g.d.p. and the smiment is about 10%. g.d.p. now, if you look at 20% of

government expenditures are on fuel subsidies. as the economist reminded us, the west bank was - 80% of the subsidy goes to the rich, not the poor. the subsidy den fitted the rich. the poor do not have cars. there'll be repercussions in the broader system. inflation is high. there will be a price to be felt. the government needs greater fiscal manoeuvrability. there's an increase in the constitution that had to be made on heath and education. it was a necessary step. what should have been done is better educate the public about responsibilities as taxpayers, and the relationship and financial position of the government. i don't think that has been explained enough to the population at large.

>> there's a question as to whether other subsidy cuts were followed. >> well, if you look at the water and food and everything else, the middle east north africa, most energy is subsidised. it's an environmental disaster because no one is paying a realistic price. i do not expect food to be touched. it will be better targeted through smart cards and cash payments to the poor. there has been enorm wasting and pilfering. and food. but i don't think food will be an item which is changed in terms of the subsidy. >> why was the decision made now, so soon after abdul fatah al-sisi became president. what happened to the money coming from from the gulf, saudi arabia, emirates to prop up the egyptian regime? >> well, if you look at the

money coming in, if you look at egypt as a trade deficit, it goes out between one and $2 billion a month. it needed to be bolstered and some of the money has gone on fuel payments. you have to put it in the contents that there has been a few years of instability and bad planning. we have some good competent individuals including a relatively new finance minister. the president abdul fatah al-sisi has put us into plan early. the longer you wait the worse the situation will be. you have population growth of 2.6% per annum. the subsidy will be increasing, was unsustainable and had to be cut. clearly, it had to be done with better communication at large. >> thank you so much. more to come in the newshour -

including discontent on the streets of egypt. more on that story, plus... >> i'm harry harry fawcett reporting from a nightclub where a 66 year law means dancing in a spren u like this is illegal. no one seems to have told anyone here though and in sport - how dutch fans celebrated the side's progress to the world cup's semifinals. celebrations are taking place in malawi. it was one of the first nations to break the tides of colonial rule. we go live to the stadium in the capital. how is the day shaping up there? >> reporter: approximately people seem to be in a festive

mood. thousands are yet to celebrate the end of colonial rule. many people are not celebrating. one described malawi as a country that look like this, saying imagine a man who is 50 years old, living with his parents. he said malawi is independent, the country is dependent and many people were struggling economically economically. >> reporter: jack was 12 when malawi gained independence. he is happy colonialism is a thing of the past, but there is a long way to go. >> a malawi where people can afford the babeses in life. and in malawi, it will be self sustaining at the moment we rely on so much more aid.

developing partners. >> they are frustrated with corruption and the rising unemployment. >> so you can go school. you need your education. it doesn't mean anything. if you are poor. it's a problem. where do you get the money to grab someone. >> reporter: malawi is the first country to gain independence. leaders like the president mugabe are at the celebrations. many are have problems with corruption and unemployment. half its population is below the poverty line. >> it is the agenda, strongly for the government. the administration to very actively address the issue of unemployment.

as we sit and reflect going back 50 years, there's one big thing, we have done a great job. but on the flipside we'll need to do a little bit more. >> officials say they have discovered oil and gas reserves. the economy is based on agriculture. with talks of oil. the next page could be dramatically different. so what is the plan? i have people here wanting to find out from the president, when he speaks a few hours from now. he was recently sworn in as president, and said "look, the country is in crisis, the economy is in crisis. we need to tighten our belts", the cabinet is smaller that usual. they cut corners financially in

many places. the money for this celebration was trimmed down because they say to people they need to resuscitate the economy. the malawians want to know what is the plan. they are celebrating 50 years from britain, but 40% of the government's budget is from donor money. a lot wants it to end. they want jobs and a better life for themselves and their families. thank you so much. that's the political climate in malawi. let's talk about the natural climate and get some weather with stef. >> we'll start off with a look at eastern canada where they've been hit with the remains of our hurricane. looking at the satellite, you can see the area of cloud as it gallops to the north. by the time it hit, it's extra tropical. all it means is it no longer gets its energy from the sea, and can spread out and give the

worst of the weather obvious a larger area. for many in the east, it's been stormy over 24-48 hours. the amount of rain through this period - 142mm of rain. that's the most i have seen, and strong winds. 123 was the most i saw here. strong gusts of wind bringing down trees and powerlines. there are hundreds of thousands of people. in the east that is, without power. the worst from that storm is over. the storm is pulling away towards the north-east. for many of us it will be dry and brighter. it shouldn't be new heavy rain that should cause us more problems. that is definitely easing off now. elsewhere we have problems. you can see an eye of a well-defined storms working towards japan, and is the

equivalent of a category 4 hurricane. it's going to work north wards to japan, eaching us on wednesday. >> all right. thank you so much. going to gaol for being in debt was routine punishment. in some parts of the u.s. that practice goes on, private contractors profiting from people unable to pay fines for minor offenses. from georgia tom ackerman has this report. >> after a minor driving violation nicole thought she had paid her debt to society, with $1400 in fines, fees and hours of community service. two years later she's paying $35 every month to a company called sentinal offender services. >> do they threaten you you'll go to gaol? >> yes, they call my phone, i'll go to gaol, they'll take me in front of the judge. >> 30 years ago the u.s. supreme

court ruled no one may be lost up because they didn't have the money to pay a fine. that is routinely ignored by private probation service companies that operate under contract to local governments. the companies do not charge the government but impose repeated fees on low-level offenders who cannot immediately pay the fines. by letting the contractors supervise probations a court effectively gives them the power to declare someone who is behind in their payments subject to arrest. by some estimates the contractors make a $40 million profit in georgia alone. according to a government audit the companies were found to have improperly extended probation terms, obtained a warrant or allocated payments to provider supervision fees instead of the court. >> people on a minor traffic

stop or a licence check point are hauled to gaol so sentinal can get their money, it's an abuse of process. >> kathleen says she spent 20 days in gaol for an $186 debt for the contractor. the company was arrested four years after the fine and restitution for drunken driving had been paid. >> sentinal reinstating my probation without a judge's signature, doing it on their own. i would say they are doing to for profit. >> the company is appealing the local judges decision for sentinel to repay hundreds of people. the probation company lobbied the legislature to pass a law protecting operations. gormia's vooetioed the bill guaranteeing that it would keep

information confidential. >> the legislature has made it a state secret, it's hugely problematic and we hope it will be addressed. law enforcement agencies have their own complaint. too many gaol bets are being filled by people who are not criminals. it wind up costing the taxpayers for room and board. >> still to come on the newshour - australia faces legal action as it refuses to break its silence over the fate of 200 tamil refugees, and how greece has become an early port of call for people fleeing conflict. and in sport, the crash which forced one tour de france out of the race. robin with the details.

you are watching the al jazeera newshour. a palestinian teenager beaten by israeli police has been fine and will spend 10 days under house arrest. he was detained after a protest over the murder of his cousin. two attacks on the kenyan coast lost 29 people dead. gunmen killed nine people at a trading center. 20 others died in la gam ba area. egyptian security forces fired at drivers, protesting against fuel prices.

the government said it was necessary to fix the economy. >> israel's prime minister promised to restore calm and reiterated that he's not interested in calling war on gaza. he is a senior analyst. i started by asking what is binyamin netanyahu planning. >> fortunately binyamin netanyahu is more restrained than other prime ministers. and perhaps, you know, he's not a big hero. he is very careful in these cases not to get into something that it will be difficult to get out of, fro. i think that what we are going to see in the next few days, if there will not be escalation from the other side, if hamas will limit its tart to a few kilometres from gaza, and will not go as far as they did last time, besh eeba and the vicinity

of tel aviv, i think binyamin netanyahu will react with some very careful tactical retaliation in order to show the israelis, because there is an outcry of people to do something. so he will do something. this may be making sure that every hour on the breaking news will hear, like you did right now, that israeli air force was striking and there was a lot of lip service that israel is not going to turn a blind eye or other cheeks. when it comes to gaza, it's a case of israel has been there, done that. can the cycle of violence, of killings be ended by another offensive. or beeneded by ending occupation and settlements.

the answer is only once we put an end to the settlement project and get serious on the peace initiative and agreement, like was offered to israel in 2002. and was completely ignored. once president obama will decide that he wants to get serious, the americans are saying "well, kids, when you are ready to behave we'll be in for you." for the time being the message from the americans is let them sweat. let them bleed. when they feel comfortable with us getting back from the scene, we will do that. israelis and palestinians are not able to reach some kind of cooperation but at the same time with ramallah right now, things are out of control, and i am

afraid, and i heard it from senior palestinians, that if this doesn't second and if there is no light at the end of the tunnel. hamas may come back to the west bank and this will be worse than the second. >> nfitada a pakistani court have charged five men for stoning to death a woman to death outside a courthouse in lahore in may. her father, two brothers, ex husband and a brother were charged with killing her because she married against their wishes. police in india fought with rulers of a party in pradesh. party leaders were arrested when they tried to defy a band attending on a religious festial.

people, making these waters the gateway for nine tenths of irregular migration. policing the border is 86 million. there are other costs. greece now gives about one in five new arrivals political asylum. that, too, is a burden it must bear alone. the european union allows people to apply. >> greece is a transit country, it's not a terminal country. we are dealing with a problem that is not greek, but european. greek is asking the e.u. to change asylum rules and allow the relocation deeper into europe. >> when you know people in need are escaping the country and are forced to get in this boat, and try to save the life and the life of the children, and you let them, we are also criminals. >> it's up to europe to decide whether to welcome the migrants

and keep them out. australia is facing mounting criticism over its handling of more than 200 tamil refugees intercepted off the coast. the government is refusing to comment on their fate and is about to face legal action from a refugee rights group. >> reporter: the australian government has a policy of never discussing on-water matters, partly to deter reporting about how australia handles asylum seekers arriving by boats. it's reported that the two vessels were intercepted off the australian coast last week and passengers transferred to an australian customs boat. human rights groups expressed concerns as nobody knows where the people are or what is haing to them. the tamil refugee council says 11 of those people on board are said to have been gaoled and

tortured before escaping. other groups are concerned that australia may be thinking about returning to sri lanka. one group, the rev any action coalition is planning to bring a case to court on monday, accusing australia of violating the international covenants on civil and international rites. hoping to force the government to reveal the whereabouts of the people and what it's planning to do with them. >> 11 people died in a plane crash in pole onlied. it was car -- poland. it was training skydivers. a man survived and is in serious condition in hospital. it's been four years since ethnic clashes occurred in kirgize stan. many court rulings are based on confessions by defendants tortured and abused by police,

osh. two women shedding a single tear. it's meant to remind people that everyone lost something, and meant to bring toot the different -- together the different community in the city. we took the story to the president's office. >> the building of relationships after violence is a sensitive question. we can do it if all parties try, on the one hand people shouldn't stay close in their community, the other side shouldn't be aggressive. we need to compromise. >> but for mothers in osh. who buried children. compromise is not so easy. well, the latest from the world cup in brazil coming up in sport with robin. including the goal that ended a

welcome back. now, japan's government is considering easing the decades-old law restricting dancing and banding altogether at night. the review of the legislation follows the crackdown on noought clubs. some worry that a redrafted law could brink problems. harry fawcett has the story from tokyo. >> saturday night into sunday

morning. tokyo's biggest dance music video. there's an international line-up of people playing to an enthusiastic crowd to what they advertise is the best sound system. the japanese way of life has a particular mind-set on sounds and detail and space and light and energy and if you knew nothing about the laws you would assume it's normal. >> the law in question was passed in 1948, when dance clubs were regarded as centers of moral certainty attitude, prostitution and criminality at worse. the new licence requires traditions and prohibits any dancing after midnight or 1am. tokyo's nightclubs are famous the world over. we are in the biggest one on a saturday night.

they are not allowed to call it a club. what these people are doing is il. for many years the law was regarded as a relic and ignored by police and club owners. a murder at a club in osaka led to its use in a crackdown on venues across the country. for months, they have been working with politicians that redrafted the law, but has become concerned with police calling the shots and an easing of the rules could see clubs restricted to designated areas. so far, although it's been a grate zone and with all the risks entailed at leasten was equal in that sense. if that grey zone is divided into black and white and the black is removed, the diversity of club culture will be lost. >> if this is a big club, this is one of the smallest, attracting a crowd serious about

the music. police and politicians failed to comprehend. the owner says it's part of a broader japanese culture. >> dance party, the day of hara, a ceremony where they glens themselves of negativity. the law regulating that is serious. we want to share with the world our ser maine. >> reporter: to that end the music is streamed to an online audience, and this place can be called a studio, not a club, and it's not in the slightest bit illegal. harry fawcett, toek , al jazeera. it didn't go the way robin hoped and other sports stories. >> good to have you. the line-up for the world cup semifinals complete. argentina book the spot at the expense of belgium.

netherlands's progression was dramatic. >> reporter: a master stroke tore a gamble that wouldn't pay off. that is what football fans were pondering when dutch manager louie van hall substituted the goalkeeper in injury time after 120 minutes. the netherlands final with costa rica had finished at 0-0 after regular time, and extra time as well. the costa ricans on their knees, while the dutch stood tall as it came down to penalty, and van hall's dutch courage paid off.

2010. is this their time in 2014, do you think? >> well in 2010, in the tournament, this time it looks like all teams have flaws. the netherlands have a mix. it's a good team. a lot - it's the best team they have worked with in terms of team work and the players are really fond of the coach too. the mood in the camp is incredible. from now on there's two games to be one yet. still. everything is possible. thank you very much for that. >> despite the exit. this was costa rica's best performance. dave mercer joined the fans in san jose. >> reporter: there's a bittersweet feeling in the

capital of costa rica. you can see behind me in the area where thousands of fans were. the clean-up has begun. you see people hanging around. people are very sad. we have seen people cry, and at the same time there are celebrations people realise that this was an historic moment. they have never come this far in the world cup. this is a football loving country. less than 5 million people. they don't have the resources that other teams in this match have. they have all the heart in the world, and the fans love them for it. people will celebrate this, having come this far forkers to come and the players are coming back to costa rica from brazil. they will receive a hero's welcome. >> argentina in the first trip to the semifinals in 24 years against belgium. a goal after eight minutes.
