this >> isthis is al jazeera america. live from new york city, i'm tony harris. as israel's campaign of air strikes enters its second week. and as the conflict plays out, possible movement on the diplomatic front. the u.s. finds a top diplomat to mexico, his mission to find a solution to the crisis at the border.

there are reports of diplomatic discussions to end the seven day old israel-gaza conflict. since last tuesday, israel has launched more than 1400 air strikes on gaza. now the air strikes have killed more than 185 other. 1400 others have been injured. the casualties from those air strikes from the israeli side, rockets strikes have wounded at least 22 people from the gaza side. no one has been killed. gaza has launched rocket attacks into israel, iron dome has repelled that. >> these are reports of cease fires and pauses and so i think some of the reports are getting a little ahead of themselves.

let's get to what officials are saying. secretary of state john kerry has been talking about a pause in this fighting, perhaps 24 hours, perhaps 48 hours, perhaps 72 hours. and in order to try and advance the diplomatic solution, he is flying or planning to fly to cairo tomorrow. egypt has historically been a mediator between hamas and israel, that's why he is flying to egypt, and also to fly to doha. and doha is involved in this mediation. at that point that's about it. there are reports of cease fires being offered but really what is happening in the u.s. egypt qatar and perhaps turkey are discussing possible diplomatic solutions. but right now the night in gaza is still violent and there are no bombs dropping in the last hour or so so that happens pras a sign, but -- perhaps a sign but nobody is agreeing to a cease fire. >> gotcha.

there is signs of a special new threat from potentially a new threat from israel. drone flying. >> this is something hamas is proud of. they gleefully released propaganda video what appears to be an armed drones, it is not clear whether those missiles are actually real. what happened was hamas released this drone onto the border of gaza and israel. israeli officials say they shot it down but for hamas this is propaganda, an attempt to convince its people that they are trying new things. they are getting new weaponry or technology from iran which this drone apparently comes from and a sign to try and prove that they are winning this fight or they are at least advancing in this fight. in the last hour or so we have seen hamas officials speaking about how proud they are for,

quote, resisting against israel and that is the backdrop of those cease fire agreements. hamas says we are not agreeing to anything unless israel has agreed to conditions we have including opening up the border between egypt and palestine. this hamas and israeli concern is trying to prove they are still fighting still interested in the battle they have been fighting for each side but no signs of any kind of permanent cease fire or any agreement on anything in terms of easing the hostilities at least not yet. >> gotcha. nick, we are hoping to get you in front of the camera in the next half hour so we can go over the same territory again and the latest if anything develops nick schifrin in gaza. for thos in the conflict the difference, a small mortar shell explodes, you see there in the

roof of a building in gaza. it is a warning from the israeli military called a knock on the roof. so in this particular video, 57 seconds elapse before an israeli air strike hits the building. we're going to show you that too. we added the clock and the subtitles. now, the homeowner says he received a call 15 seconds earlier warning him of the attack. now the israeli official told al jazeera the family should get several minutes' warning with the knock on the roof. instead of less than a minute. and we still don't know if

anyone was killed or wounded in this particular incident. hospital officials in gaza say they are overwhelmed by the number of injured people. john hendren went to one of gaza city's busiest and filed this report. >> reporter: the main hospital in gaza no longer treats regular patients. it is now devoted to the victims of the israeli bombing campaign like 9-year-old. she convinced her father to let her out for a breath of fresh air. after five minutes she followed him back inside. just steps ahead of an air strike. >> translator: i sent her back in the corridor when i was locking up the house. i looked behind me and i saw miriam sinking in a pool of blood with shrapnel in her head. >> taking care of disabled children when the building exploded in flames.

>> translator: in the morning i find myself burning. i didn't hear an explosion but suddenly i was on fire. my body, my face, my hair. everything was burning. this is a crime committed by the israelis. what crime did these handicapped children commit? they are not even able to fire rockets or even walk outside. >> reporter: the hospital the fully occupied and yet hour after hour the balances bring more victims. here in the reception area, they are not turning away any bombing victims. the people turned away are people with chronic problems like heart disease or cancer, you are no longer ill enough to be treated in this hospital. so doctors say there will be deaths unrelated to this issue, that were caused by it. >> dr. eric fossa flew from way brinfromnorway bringing what he.

>> we have had medicine in this hospital to do the cases that we have at the moment. but if we get something like 2009 war with the large mass casualties we will run out of drugs. >> reporter: miriam el masri can no longer speak. her father is just happy that his daughter is still with him. >> translator: when she entered surgery the doctors weren't very optimistic. they said, pray to god to save her. i prayed to god. god helped me to cure her and thank god she is better now. >> better and still trying to return to where she once was in a territory struggling to do the same. john hendren, al jazeera, gaza. >> and as nick schifrin reported, secretary of state john kerry will visit egypt

tomorrow. leaders are trying to present an united front. supporters for hamas may be waning. >> a father mourns his child who was killed in an israeli air strike on gaza. he is one of the many palestinians caught in a new cycle of confrontation between hamas and israel. many have been killed. and homes destroyed. but unlike 2008, and 2012, when israeli offenses in gaza triggered an uproar in the arab world there have been fewer shows of solidarity from arab government this time. on monday, arab foreign minister were meet in cairo to come up with a united response to the conflict. but that's unlikely to happen.

the situations in the arab world now during this war is different from the situations of the arab world and the region in previous similar wars. the airbus no arabs are very buh themselves and there are much more casualties. in surrounding arab countries then, than what is happening in gaza. that's why the israeli-palestinian cause is no longer as prominent as it used to be in the arab world. >> egypt which has traditionally brokered israeli palestinian conflict, egyptian troops in the sinai. and hamas's ties with its

staunch ally in the region syria have severely deteriorated. the 2011 uprising against president bashar al-assad was a turning point. hamas expressed support for syrian rebels. its leader left damascus and relegated to qatar. the syrian government considered hamas's support for the rebels a betrayal. iran was also critical of hamas's political shift but reports suggest hamas and iran are working or rebuilding ties. tehran for many years has been iran's main financial and military backer. but hamas can still tap into popular support in the region. scenes like these, growing civilian casualties and massive destruction in the gaza strip

infuriate arabs and muslims. on the streets of turkey, lebanon tun tunisia and many otr cups, there is anger over what has happened in gaza. >> time is running out as iran sits down with world powers to hammer out its nuclear program. james bays has the latest about the talks in austria. >> time is soon running out. >> secretary kerry are you making any progress? >> reporter: i'll let you know he responds. to deadline to reach a deal is just six days away. political directors from the world's powers the five permanent members of the u.n. security council as well as germany have been meeting in vienna since the beginning of the year to iron out the sticking points not agreed in an

interim deal signed by foreign ministers last november. in six rounds of talks in the it austrian power, world powers want to drastically reduce the number of centrifuges iran is allowed to operate. that will cut the amount of yeurai'mirani'yurmyou'ruranium . >> probably somewhere in between. is going to be the only possible compromise.

about six months i would say. >> we agree and it's did to begin with agreement. >> john kerry at negotiating table. foreign minister mohamed javid harif and, say will be the president's eyes and ears. >> of course president rouhani is not the final say. ayatollah will be the final say. >> military transport plane in the east, all eight people on board survived. al jazeera's rory challenge has

reports from moscow. >> there have been accusations before and the usual russian response is either to ignore them or to completely deny them. basically russia says that while there may be russian citizens fighting against the ukrainian military in the east of ukraine, those people are doing so under their own initiative. they're not part of the russian army and they're not being directed from the russian government. of course, that has never convinced the ukrainian government and it's never convinced many people in the west either. there have been analysts that i've been talking to here who said that if russia were increasing its military involvement in ukraine, that wouldn't be too surprising. because it seems as if the rebels who are fighting there are on the verge of military collapse.

and that is something that the kremlin here cannot cowns nans a --countenance at all. so what is going on is the rebels fighting in the east are finding that they are being dominated by a massive ukrainian air superiority. essentially the rebels are amateurs fighting against what is becoming a much more experienced ukrainian army. so if russia does not want those rebels to be defeated it has to find some way of redressing that military imbalance. >> car bombs killed six people in baghdad today as the government struggles to protect the city against sunni fighters. many of them say they are in search of new homes and communities where they feel safe and as al jazeera zena hoder reports from erbil, many or

displaced from baghdad. >> reporter: many before they reach this camp in erbil, this is a transit center where they wait to be relocated. they won't be going back home because the turkmen shia are no longer welcome. they can't go back so they are asking to go to shia areas for their safe. >> there we can get our rights. we no longer have homes. we lost everything. we lost our livelihoods. >> reporter: it is not just that, for these people, co-existence among the sunni and shia is a thing of the past. documented cases of extra judicial executions of sunni detainees in the district. many believe iraq will never be the same again. >> they want to do this.

they want to do three parts in iraq but we hope so united states one country, strong country. >> reporter: butter the kurdish -- but the kurdish region in the north, is farcing the -- forcing the turkmen people to leave. >> they are the ones who want to go to the south. we are cooperating with the government code in baghdad. >> the more than 4,000 here anxiously wait for their turn. >> we just want to get out of there. we want to go to the south. where we will feel safe. >> reporter: it seems many iraqis no longer feel safe unless they are among their own communities. these people are the victims of a new reality on the ground. iraq's map has been redrawn.

lines have divided into sunni, shia and kurdish areas. iraq hasn't been at peace for years but never before has the fragmentation of the country been so clear. zena hoder, erbil. >> state department counselor ernest shannon is meeting. soldier who spent nearly five years as a taliban captive in afghanistan has returned to regular duty. the army says sergeant boarveld is working at -- bowe bergdahl is working at fort sam houston. coming up citigroup admits to lying about the deals that helped spark the great recession. but the bank's punishment may

not help people hurt from the fallout. the woman amelia earhart and her trip around the world.

>> okay, let's look at the markets here. stocks rose on news of corporate mergers, better than expected earnings from citigroup. the dow gained about 112 points. you can see it there for yourself. the nasdaq and s&p 500 were also higher today. one of the biggest banks in the world will pay a huge fine, citigroup, and the justice department announced a $7 billion settlement today. as part of the agreement the bank admits it down played the risks of subprime mortgages and sold them to mortgages. rosalyn jordan reports. >> $7 billion, that's the cost to citigroup for its role in the 2008 financial crisis. >> the bank's misconduct was egregious.

under the terms of the settlement, the bank has admitted to its misdeeds in great detail. shattering lives and livelihoods around the country and the world. >> the bank was accused of deliberately lending money to people that they could not afford. knowing they were bad investments. when the housing market collapsed, everyone lost. the collapse of the housing market was at the heart of the recent global recession. out of the $7 billion citigroup must pay the u.s. government will collect a $4 billion fine. the states will receive a half billion dollar fine and consumers will share in a $2.5 billion compensation fund. government lawyers admit they don't know how many homeowners will get help. they say some of the money will be used to build affordable housing and to help some families who are now renting.

citigroup has long insisted it didn't do anything wrong and tried to bargain for a lower fine but prosecutors came very firm. >> we came very close to prosecution. we were ready to file this case. >> trying to send a message that no one even those who work on wall street are above the law. rosalyn jordan, al jazeera, washington. >> and for more on this ira rhinegold joins us. 2.5 billion in that fund for consumers. harm doesn't seem like nearly enough. maybe i just want as much as people can get. that's a big number i grant you that. for this kind of conduct that you heard the attorney general call egregious. where is all this money going to end up? are citibank consumers getting enough of this settlement?

>> well, the problem is we're talking about a settlement that is over six years late, right? a lot of their bad behavior happened over the last decade. a lot of people have lost enormous equity in their home, lost money in their pensions or simply lost their home. those folks who really were damaged aren't going to get money out of the settlement. what the settlement does is offer some hope for consumers that they might be able to, those still in their home might be able to get their mortgages fixed a little bit. and the fact is that the economic crisis has done enormous damage to communities of color and to low and moderate income consumers. and that they will have opportunity for mortgages and for rental housing. >> was it last year when we saw j.p. morgan's $13.7 billion settlement, the check was in the mail in the form of a few bucks here and there to millions of

consumers. is citibank's kind of distribution of this settlement a response to what we saw and kind of the reaction to how it was handled by j.p. morgan last year? >> well, i think we've had a number of settlements over the years from the national mortgage settlement to some of the things the other government regulators have done. offering a few dollars to consumers directly provides really no benefit. whether or not this settlement will work is a good question. but i think what you're seeing here is public policy making through litigation. what you are seeing is the attorney generals for the most part have been actively engaged. creating the way to solve the problem that was created to come with solutions that will move us forward. so what the litigation is doing with that money is trying to promote public policy that will actually do some benefit for low and moderate income consumers.

it's a very small step but the hope is that maybe it will serve as a catalyst to do more. a situation our public policy makers have failed to address, lack of access to low and moderate income house holds. >> executive director of national association of consumer advocates, ira appreciate it. thank you. still to come on al jazeera america, thousands of people in gaza are leaving their homes trying to avoid israeli attacks and many have nowhere to go. and two years after it capsized, the costa concordia is floating again.

>> the conflict in gaza has

taken a heavy toll on sifnls. a chance in the fighting brokered by egypt would be welcomed by both sides. dozens of gazans have been killed. earlier i spoke to richard falk, he says the conflict has already violated international law. >> well, to begin with i think statement is highly misleading. first of all, the rocket firing may be unfortunate and even unlawful but it's hardly deadly. there's been no israeli casualties, while the palestinians have suffered upwards of 160 or even more, that's a huge disparity. and there are probably over a thousand palestinians who have already been injured.

so the deadliness of this confrontation is mainly emanating from the israeli side. the whole flareup of violence which is, of course, very unfortunate, was precipitated in my view by the israeli overreaction to the kidnapping incident of june 12th. instead of treating it as an enforcement, criminal enforcement situation, they chose to expand the situation in such a way as to make a wholesale campaign against hamas on the west bank. >> al jazeera english is reporting 29 childre women 19 cn killed in their homes.

as a signatory, doesn't occupied territories? >> absolutely. that's the primary obligation of the whole structure of international humanitarian law that's embedded in the geneva conventions. and israel has done precisely the opposite. and when i say they don't even allow ordinary gazans, disabled people, children to leave gaza, at a time of extreme danger, it is a grave violation of this core obligation to protect the civilian population of an occupied people. >> is a u.n. peace keeping force required here once and for all

to restore and maybe maintain calm? >> well, i think something of a protective force is certainly required. you may remember that in the libyan crois i crisis in 2011 wn gadhafi's force he were threatening the people, the so-called norm of responsibility to protect international community had a responsibility to protect, as terrible as that situation was in 2011, the people were not trapped in the way they are here in a situation where there's war going on day and night, and even if they're not physically injured or killed, the whole of a population is traumaized. itraumatized.it is an example or

carried to a very ugly extreme. >> that is richard falk. after a week of fighting between israel and gaza there are early signs of possible diplomatic process, but long from a solution. nick schifrin, there are a lot of moving pieces, other players in the region. >> tony, i think you just said it perfectly. the headline is that the momentum is positive. there's clearly discussions about cease fires, about pauses after the violence for last seven days. nothing's been agreed upon but the fact that we're talking about this clearly means that we're moving in that direction. so then let's go over the details. the first person to actually propose something in detail has been egypt. they proposed a plan that would call for about a 12 hour cease fire starting sometime tomorrow. the u.s. says, or u.s. officials rather say that john kerry has been in the middle of all this

proposing some kind of pause. that's the word that they are using that would allow him to fly to the capitols of two intermediaries, both to egypt and to qatar, to doha where they could talk about the possible agreements of some kind of permanent cease fire. but nobody i'm speaking to in the u.s. or here is suggesting that there's any kind of cease fire agreed to or there's any kind of pause agreed to. but again the possibility is there. and both sides are talking about what they want. israel is talking about demill demilitarization. hamas is asking for the the release of prisoners, two, the opening of the border between gaza and egypt and 3, the lifting of the israeli siege. israel has not agreed to any of those. clearly there are two sides that are very far apart but the momentum is very positive, both sides or everyone really talking about some kind of conditions

for a cease fire. >> how about the day and the evening so far, relatively quiet? >> reporter: yeah, it has been. i mean we just heard about 30 seconds ago a large boom but compared to last night, compared to a few nights ago it is relatively quiet. the streets are stil still empte people are still scared. they are filled u.n. schools, they really are scared of the israeli bombardment because a lot of the rockets fired came from that specific neighborhood that they fled from. so yes, we are still in the middle of a conflict zone but it does feel a little quieter. certainly less artillery from israel, less drone strikes and less happy ships guns from off coast. >> all right nick shirch, thank,

thank you. the aid will travel into syria through four border crossings, the el ramtha crossing, controlled by the free syrian army. the mabel salaam crossing. same for bob alhalla crossing. and controlled by the kurdish democratic party in syria and crossings controlled by the kurdish peshmerga. christian saloomey has more from the -- kristin saloomey has more from the united nations. urgent need of humanitarian assistance and nearly half of

those numbers are in hard to reach places. so the resolution passed by the security council on monday allows for cross border aid deliveries without the support of the syrian government and that is key. this resolution comes after an earlier resolution passed last february failed to approve the resolution on the ground. the u.n. says it has only gotten worse. able to come together and pass this resolution. and the u.n. says that it should allow aid to be delivered to about 3 million more people, people who haven't had secure food deliveries or medical assistance in a long time. and of course, aid agencies are hailing this as a break through and a potential life line for so many people in syria. but they say it's only going to work if there's action on the ground. it has to be translated into action on the ground if it's to

have the desired effect. >> another violent weekend in chicago to tell us about. maria innes ferre has this sto story. innes. >> this brings the debt toll to 29 people. the death toll is lower than over the 4th of july holiday when 53 people were wounded and 9 were killed. crews are battling a wildfire in oregon. the tblaiz is about 1.5 square miles. a wildfire in california has burned six square mierls and destroyed 18 structures. hot, dry weather is needing the wildfires. a string of earthquakes shook oklahoma over the weekend. officials say the most severe registered a 4.3 magnitude. researchers say last month oklahoma had more earthquakes

than california. scientists say fracking could be causing the rise in tremors. crews are taking air quality readings near philadelphia after a strong odor forced residents to evacuate. residents from 150 homes had to leave the area on sunday. environmental officials say the odor came out of basement sump pumps but they still don't know what it is. >> this is more than likely a long term incident so this is initial testing to get them back into their residence and behave what we find the results we get back to the lab we will be able to determine how much more testing will be required, whether it's daily, weekly, monthly. >> authorities say they will continue to test more homes today. as they wait for the test results which they hope will tell them what the mystery odor is. and amelia earhart is back in colorado after completing her flight around the world. the 31-year-old colorado woman

shares the name of the first eight oaviatrix. the modern day earhart got her license in 2010 and hopes her conquest will inspire more girls oget excited -- to get excited about aviation. >> she was immigrate smart well spoken and out for an adventure and to pass along -- she did all of that hmm? >> mission accomplished. >> mission accomplished. all right innes many see you later. services were performed for john siegenthaler sr. hundreds attended. former president al gore and robert kennedy's widow ethel.

founding editor of u.s.a. today. of course he was the father of al jazeera's john siegenthaler. john siegenthaler sr. died friday. he was 86 years old. and coming up oning al jazeera america. two very different health care providers, pairing up on the goal, better health care in america. we'll show you how it works.

>> we're here in the vortex. only on al jazeera america. >> you know we hear it often. health care expenses are driven up by people using the emergency room for minor million procedures. now an odd couple partnership between two different kinds of health care organizations could cut cost and provide a model for the future. allen schauffler.

a hospital trying to open up a clinic right next door. >> an interesting pair, a big city hospital and a small walk in clinic trying something new. a pilot project only opened a few months ago. they don't have final figures on it yet, but intending to address the expensive aspects. >> heart palpitation put this man where he should be, in the emergency room, getting an er evaluation from doctors and nurses. >> happy to meet you. >> a patient with an in effected toe. receiving treatment from a nurse practitioner. >> putting the two entities together so you have comprehensive care. >> howard springer of swedish hospital hopes to cut down on unnecessary and expensive er visits. >> ear aches, those types of

things where you don't need to go into a full emergency room. >> 93% of hospitals, a study by the washington state hospital association defines more than 11% of er visits as potentially avoidable. the law requires that anybody coming to an emergency room seeking medical care receive treatment no matter what it's for but emergency room smell are not allowed to suggest that there might be alternatives, go to the clinic just down the way and receive an appropriate level of care for cheaper. they can't suggest that. but patients coming to the emergency room here might walk past the after hour clinic sign and get the hint. >> hopefully that night draw somebody's attention, saying oh, okay, maybe i don't need to go in where all the ambulance traffic is. >> grants and federal money pays the hospital $1 a year in rent

and shares space used for other purposes during the day. the seven month old partnership benefits both entities. the er is right there in case walk in clinic patients have serious problems and the clinic gets to see more people whom they ask help get into the health care system. >> we are helping people get out of the er that don't need to use those resources and we are getting people into our organization into healthcare which is what we want to do. >> it is a partnership both partners hope can be a model for others. >> follow us, we've worked out the kinks. see if you can apply it in your region because we think you can be successful. >> community clinic and major hospital, providing the right care the right place at the right price. we don't have statistics from fm the hospital yet but linda mcvey set they have served

more than 3,000 patients since they opened, like what they are seeing and think it's a success. tony. >> we know the er is going to cost a lot of money. seems like the hospital would be giving away cash. why would it do something like that? >> yes, losing business it does -- losing business it does seem that way. but a lot of the people who use emergency rooms as their health care provider are medicare medicaid patients are indigent and quite often emergency rooms don't get fully paid for the care they provide them. also the community clinic next door is federally qualified to handle exactly those kinds of customers and work if they're not into the health care system to get them into the health care system and get them signed up. the hospital is hoping in the long term, it will save the whole system money. >> imagine that taking the long view on something like that. allen schauffler, thank you. a new website is linking

dissidents in closed societies to outside people who want to help them, right? it's called movement.org. roxana saberi has the story. roxana. >> everything from getting asylum to publicizing their cause. >> coming here a lot doing their own stuff. and just hanging out. >> activist normena said that russians need more freedom to speak out. >> i do not believe that while the regime is in power. >> this man sergei paid for speaking out with his life. five years ago the russian attorney died in prison after exposing what he said was massive fraud by russian officials. >> i think in russia, there are really no possibilities to see this freely and we really need

children. just to be clear, it's children with their mothers. there is no unaccompanied minor on that plane. there are around 1 18 mothers ad 20 children, we understand. these children went to the united states with their mothers. and -- >> yeah, that's not going to work. we'll give it just another beep. that's not going to work. all right let's move forward. the space transport company, spacex, launched six satellites into the atmosphere. while the launch was a success this operation was not perfect. spacex had hoped to use the rocket booster, didn't survive that particular landing. and for more than a month now during the world cup, the world had its eyes on brazil and the

reaction was largely positive. lucia newman is there with the story. >> wung of the longest and -- one of the longest and largest shows on earth is over. surface disappearing. -- fast disappearing. from an organizational powive brazil always world cup was a surprising success if only in the 96 of -- nick of time the stadiums were ready, the airports actually worked and the hundreds of thousands of visitors who could not get tickets or accommodation were able to come and enjoy the sporting festival. there were a few clashes between antiworld cup protesters and riot police. but in the end very few turned out. >> translator: why? lenin used to call religion the opiate of the people. in brazil it is football and
