i am johnna hull in london on the latest on the plane crash in ukraine. blacks box is found. rescue workers recover flight recorders from the wreckage, but pro-russian separatits are holding on to them for now. the israeli army has confirmed 13 of its soldiers have been killed in the gaza strip on sunday. now, this comes as israel intentionfies its bombardment of gaza since the launch of its ground offensive. at least 60 people have been killed in one neighborhood of gaza. shujayea has been pounded overnight and through sunday. the red cross was allowed in during a brief lull to retrieve

bodies. more than 430 palestinians have been killed in 12 days of israeli attacks. more than 100 of them are children. people have been fleeing their homes, but there is no safe place to go to. ambulance have been struggle to go reach the injured. the wounded and their wailing families stream into hospitals without end. a health ministry spokesman says the medical shortages are catastrophic. stefanie dekker reports. >> reporter: they emerged in the early hours, survivors of a p pettrifying and deadly night. a stream of people on foot finally, finding a way out. >> whatever happens despite the killing, despite the destruction, we will be strong. we are not going to die, go willing. >> it has been the most intense night since this conflict began.

there are their border neighborhood besieged by relentless shelling, residents trapped in the dark of night. the daylight brings them no relief. >> they are shelling everywhere. we only just made it out this morning. as you see, we have children. we have had to leave our homes behind. it is not safe there. >> this is where they have come from. shujayea on the border with israel. it is not recognizable now. israel says its targeting armed fighters and their underground tunnel network though we see heart break and despair here. >> the thanks were in front of our house. i don't know what's going on. i can't go back home. they shoot at us. >> this area has been completely destroyed. you can see smoke still up ahead of what was an incredibly tense night and day. people have managed to get out in the early morning, but now, this two-hour humanitarian hiatus agreed to by both sides is allowing the medics, the

ambulances to come in. we have seen a couple of bodies already taken. from what we are seeing here, incredible damage to homes and trees littering the street. it really does look like a war zone. >> it was tense for the brief time we came here. we heard an explosion, and there was small arms fire. we are told those who tried to make it in last night to help stood little chance. >> this killing is more than serious. you see children without heads. what is this? >> gaza's largest hospital is at breaking point. "where are you, my son?" she cries. sixty people are trapped in the rubble. please go pick them up, she begs.

these are the faces of the numbers that keep increasing. the injured and the dead. there is unbearable grief. the doctors here haven't slept in days. >> this is genocide. this is a massacre. i hope someone is being held accountable for it. it's really impunity has gone so far, they think they can do whatever with whoever and they don't consider palestinians even human according to how they treat them now. >> the number of the injured and the dead keeps rising. right now, nowhere in gaza is safe. stefanie dekker, al jazeera, shujayea, gaza. >> let's go live now to nicole johnson and get an update. is that intensity of bombardment continuing, nicole? >> it had been quiet for a couple of hours, but just as the day of ramadan broke and people

started to eat their evening meal, the bombardment started again. we have heard heavy tense shelling again in shujayea. so, it is being attacked for a second night. at this stage, it's not as heavy, not as intention as the previous night. but that area is coming under attack. we have also heard reports of the bridge refugee camp about 15 kilometers from here. it's also being attacked and the sharf and tatara neighborhoods in the eastern part of the gaza strip. we have had leaflets dropped again today in a number of different areas including that bridge refugee camp that i mentioned with israel warning people to get out, saying that that will be the next area that they will be focusing on, telling people there to move to the central part of the gaza str strip, an area called dia abala. we will expect some people, those living on the far sort of eastern extremity of those areas will move out. as we saw last night, there are

many people living in the neighborhoods because they are big neighborhoods. so the people on the further western end often think they will be okay, that they will be safe, that there is no point in going a couple of ki8ometers >> but as it turned out and as we saw from stefanie dekker's report, that's not the indicates at all. the israeli tanks have moved out of the buffer zone area where they had been for the past few days. and overnight, they were firing those shells much further into gaza. three, four, five kilometers into those residential areas which is why we saw so many people killed overnight. some 60-0d people were killed in that shujayea neighborhood, alone. >> we have seen those scenes which i think are pretty catastrophic. aren't they, nicole? but tell me: what sort of feeling are you picking up from the people of gaza with regard to how they feel about hamas? not just hamas but the other

armed groups? >> it's a really good question, though, what often happens during its sort of escalations is the palestinians of gaza who may be getting a bit fed up with hamas at various times, the escalation tends to increase the popularity of hamas. most people here aren't focused on what hamas and the islamic jihad are doing. their battle or fight is with israel. so that's where they are focusing on their anger at, not at hamas. having said that, i have spoken to a couple of people who especially people with, you know, large families who say that they have had enough, both sides should stop, but on the whole, most people say that they do want a cease-fire, but they don't want a cease-fire without conditions. they want to change their situation here. they no longer want to be under siege with all of the borders closed and they support the resistance movement here they say that the fighters should continue until israel agrees to a cell phone that actually gives

the people of gaza some kind of breathing space a way to travel, to get out of the gaza strip and to develop their economy here. >> okay, nicole. thank you very much for that. nicole johnson bringing us right up to date with the day's developments in gaza. so as we have been hearing, the red cross did manage to get some kind of temporary humanitarian truce on sunday in order to allow pair medicked in to bring out the dead and the wounded. a convoy of ambulance rushed to shujayea to make the most of the calm in the hard-hit neighborhood. they have been unable to reach much of the area. along with the border with israel because of heavy fire. >> so daily life is obviously becoming increasingly difficult for palestinians who are trapped inside gaza. the u.n. says 60,000 people have now been displaced from their homes and they are sheltering in u.n.-supported schools. and even if they are still at home, 900,000 people don't have

proper access to water nor to sanitation. at least 72,000 children so far require specialized psychological support. at least 85 schools and 18 hospitals have been damaged by israeli bombs. >> medical teams in gaza are saying that they have been targeted, themselves, whilst they have been trying to retrieve the dead and the wounded. >> translator: we entered as people were running for their lives on the streets of shujayea. they told us of a street badly hit. there were victims there. we foundownses of dead bodies. we could not evacuate the dead bodies because we were shut out. we attempted again and managed to take them to the morgue. i am headed back there now. >> translator: dozens of bodies are lying on roads across the shujayea area. >> right. live now to another part of doha where you can see the u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon

and the qatari foreign minister about to make a statement about negotiations they have been having on gaza. >> translator: the u.n. press secretary general, mr. ban ki-moon. i thank him for the efforts exerted by him to put an end to theitsisi aggression on gaza strip. the state of qatar, based on its ethical responsibility and also based upon its humanitarian responsibility towards our fellow brothers in gaza and the palestinian people with their just cause have exerted concerted efforts with all of the active stake holders, the international organizations and the regional countries since the start of the israeli aggression which constitutes clear violation of international law and human rights charter and the state of qatar, we do not claim

to have a special initiative. we only convey the demands of the palestinian people and it is not of our concern who will be able to achieve these demands: to restore justice within this context, qatar took part in the meeting of the state of the arab league and it was an arab consensus as per statement issued by the meeting. we also received a number of communications from friendly and neighboring states in order to play a more active role contributing to mending the israeli aggression. consultation, discussions are still underway to have a cease-fire in place simply for the reason that the palestinian people can no longer accept the long siege and the palestinian

people is met by carelessness, by the international community. the state of qatar is closely monitoring the grave developments on the palestinian domestic front before we condemn all of the aprosties perpetrated by israel against the palestinian people. the last of which was a shujayea massacre today. the majority of the victims were women and children. we also reiterate israel's responsibility and legal liability under international law and namely the international convention geneva iv. it is no longer tolerated for israel to wage a war whenever it wishes and withdraw whenever it will. we call the international community to live up to its responsibility to etched the israelaigression that is a direct threat to peace in the

entire region if not the whole world. we also call on the international community to live up to its ethical and humanitarian responsibility, lend a helping hand to the palestinian people and end the unjust siege laid to gaza and the gazan people and also to enable the palestinian people to freely move and allow them to rebuild the gaza strip under international guarantees and ainsurance to pave the way for a genuine political process. thank you very much. i hand the floor to the u.n. secretary general. >> ladies and gentlemen, good evening. >> translator: hello to you from qatar.

new zealand. [speaking in foreign language.] >> very interesting given that this is a live situation in another part of doha. doha being the capitol of qatar. we have just heard from the foreign minister, chalid a al attia. trying to take the lead in getting a resolution to the situation in gaza. let's listen to the u.n. secretary general. >> as a result of the ferocious aggression, many of the residents are still reeling under at a time brunt of fedue the continued air raids by israel. when i came to doha, hundreds

were killed in the area. i condemn the atrocity israel must exercise self restraint and avoid targeting civilians in gaza strip. i call on all of the parties that they that they commit to international you law. violence should be denounced. vie she knew should come to an end. i am not here to address any other matter. >> okay. we do have a few problems, it would appear. going to another part of doha don't worry. we are working very hard to rectify those. very interesting that we have at this moment a gathering, a critical gathering. we understand that joining the

u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon and the emir, himself, the emir of qatar and his foreign minister is the norwegian foreign minister. heads are being put together to try to work out an immediate easing of the situation in gaza where increasingly, the language is getting stronger condemning what has happened today in shujayea. there, the foreign minister, the foreign minister there describing what's happened today, the deadliest day of the conflict as a massacre. >> kind of language is coming into play. in a while, we will be talking to go senior political analyst, mawan bashawa. in the meantime, we are trying to get back now to that meeting taking place in doha. in the meantime, also, within the last hour or so, we have been hearing from the israel primary min still benjamin netanyahu started to speak, made a declaration if you like to the

israeli government saying there is strong support for his government and the operation in gaza. >> translator: itionis did not choose to enter this war, but from the moment it was forced on us, we will carry on with it until we achieve our goals restoring piece to the citizens of israel while inflicting serious damage we will continue for as long as it takes. as i said, when this action began, there is no guarantee of success. but we are doing everything to achieve as much as we can and i have to say that results until now have exceeded expectations. >> all right. we are listening to that as well with our correspondent kim van

youel in west jerusalem. kim, this seems to be a very definitive moment of this crisis as we go into the 13th day of the operation against gaza because benjamin netanyahu had to really almost reassure the israeli people because they are now sustaining casualties and fatalities, indeed. this is very much a speech to the nation, if you like, referring specifically to the deaths of israeli soldiers, thirteen have been killed, as you mentioned, in the past 24 hours bringing the total death toll to green, one of which was killed in friendly fire, so-called friendly fire. referring to the casualties, benjamin netanyahu said there is no more just war than the one our sons have fought for. so, i think that's very telling, indeed. in terms of where this is going to go next.

n netanyahu said the results is have the exceeded expectation and, also, that this operation will be expanded as required so implying there we could expect an intensefication here i think 1 more point to make is what we heard from benjamin netanyahu and, also, from the israeli minister of defense or chief of staff, earlier today we have seen an unprecedented acknowledgement of the strength of hamas's capabilities in gaza. the military chief spoke today that the israeli soldiers have uncovered what he described as a metro or subway of tunnels. so again, using this as justification to continue the bombardment of gaza. >> one would imagine that at this point with the diplomatic forces gathering in strength, pressure now being brought to bear upon netanyahu and the israeli government. one would imagine, therefore, that he would like to carry on

and secure as much progress on the ground before he has to be reined in. do you have a sense this will go on until the israelis pull back? >> well, we have heard some differing things come out today. one is that obviously, best of my knowledge benjamin netanyahu said this campaign will continue for as lon as it takes to meet israel's objectives, that being he would like to see a sustained period of calm in israel, not so many rockets come over from gaza and that i wouhe would like the israel military to the inflict sisterous to hammats. i think we heard from the israeli chief of staff earlier today is that he believes that this campaign could actually have to be shortened perhaps implying it would need to be intensified quickly to reach those aims as the del toll rose

but as the civilian death toll grows as well. and israel could face more international criticism. >> what do we think will happen within the next 24 hours? as i say, i am keen to try to balance what's going on because here in doha, we have what i am calling a fairly momentous gathering of people. presumably there will be some pressure. do you think, therefore, they are going to step up their operation within the next 24 hours or rein it in? >> i think stipping up is pretty much what we are hearing. it does seem like there is going to be an intentionfication. it does appear that benjamin netanyahu and referring to these israel soldier deaths, you know, is this is the reason exactly why there is no more just war as

i explained earlier. ear another important point to make is that benjamin netanyahu also reiterated his belief and the u.s. has backed this, that he believes that civilian death did lay the blame for which they squarely with hamas. he said that's because israeli agreed to an egyptian-backed truce earlier this week which hamas dismissed because hamas wasn't consulted over the terms of this cease-fire deal and that, also, that that cease-fire deal backed by the egyptians would simply see a return for the status quo for the palestinian people living in gaza. >> great stuff. thank you very much indeed for that. kim van ill, our correspond event in west jerusalem who was listening to the latest to come from the israel primary miles per hour sister best of my knowledge men netanyahu now let's listen to the hamas spokesman speaking to david foster, my colleague and he told

him the palestinian terms for a cease-fire are prudent and they are not an attempt to discredited israel. >> not the palestinians killing the other side. in fact, denouncing the killing and i believe what was proposed can confront extremists. this is not acceptable. no one will accept that. i believe no efforts, no political efforts which is happening now with the americans, the secretary general of the united nations and other countries is really going towards the target directly. >> let me ask you. hamas has done this to make this short and we are willing to have

whatever as soon as can be. >> let me ask you specifically about what we are seeing on our screens right now. the neighborhood of gaza city. a great many people lost their lives there. when i spoke to mark rega, you know him, the israeli prime minister spokesman a short while ago. he said they dropped leaflets saying to the people they should get out they sent them text messages saying they should get out. he maintains that hamas in that area told the people not to leave their homes. he says they were told to stay where they were. what's your response to that? >> well, totally lying. what happened the people started to leave and when the streets were full, they started shooting the people. most in the streets, if the people rejected it to leave

their houses or hamas prevented them to leave, they were supposed to to be found in their houses. as you saw on the picture, they were leaving. they gave them the chance to leave. then they killed them on purpose because they have lost more than 70 soldiers, killed and injured and they want to punish the palestinians for that. >> right. we are going to have a lot more coverage on the gaza crisis, but now, let's have a look at another story because another main story for us today is pro-russian separatists in eastern ukraine who have recovered the black boxes from the downed malaysian airline flight mh-17. more on that from jonah in our european news center. jonah? >> thanks, martin, separatist leader said they are keeping the blacks boxes in donetsk until experts can confirm that they are, in fact, the plane's flight

recorders. he has confirmed bodies recovered from the crash site will remain in refrigerated train cars in terez until the arrival of an international aviation delegation. rebecca singh reports. these are the first images of one of the flight recorders from mh-17 in the hands of an emergency worker filmed a day after the plane came down. the leader of the maine separatist group said the black boxes are under his control and that they will be handed over to international authorities. >> those objects have been delivered to dondon and remain under my control. we wait for experts, in this case, the international civil aviation organization, and we are ready to hand over those technical objects from the plane. >> now, three days after the tragedy, more than 200 bodies have been recovered. but there is outrage over the

way they have been handled. on sunday, rebels reportedly forced emergency workers to hand over dozens of bodies and loaded them on to refrigerated train cars in terres, 15 kilometers away. monitors from the european security organization, the osce, verified the bodies were from the malaysian airliner. >> i don't want to be too grewsom but it's a very, very, very difficult thing to watch. we were told for the time being, those cars will be stationary and that they are wondering when experts will be arriving to start processing the bodies. but i think the kind of thinking is, is that the cars should be certain to ukrainian controlled territory and be processed there? >> ukraine has set up a crisis center 300 kilometers away in kakiz but for now, the most pressing concern is securing official access to the scene. the vast site covers 25 square kill 078 materials and the

bodies of almost 100 more people remain. rebecca singh, al jazeera. >> chris yates is an aviation expert for the publishing group is james. he explained information on the two recorders could be used to lockdown the time of the incident and where a missile may have been fired from. the voider recorder records not just the conversations between the aircraft and ground but, also, between pilots and the am byient noise so from there were an explosion. it might well have been picked up in the audio recording just prior to that recorder going dead. so once they start to read the recordings off, that will give us an awful lot of information. so will the data recorder as well that. will give us a time stamp, if you will, as to when systems on

board the aircraft started to shut down. so if we can fix a time stamp precisely when this airplanestadt to fall out of the sky and if there is satellite image re, satellites information to indicate the missile was taking off at that time, if we can track back on the trajectory, for example, that may well give us an indication as to who fired it because of location alone. >> in thefection 24 hours, there could be a vote at the united nation security counsel on a draft resolution about the plane crash. our diplomic editor james bays has more. >> draft australia which lost 350,0007 citizens has been drawing up this draft, we believe, with help from the u.k.

it says investigators need to have unfetterred access to the scene. it says there needs to be accountability. those responsible need to be brought to justice. this has been circulated, this resolution, and it will be what we know as being put in blue sometime, we think, in the coming hours and once that happens, 24 hours later, a vote can be held. a vote as early as monday, a headache for vladimir putin because his government will not want a veto on a resolution but it won't like the wording in this text. more problems from him coming from europe from perilous on tuesday. problems ahead for the russians and a big decision for them at the u.n. what will they do if that resolution comes to a vote? >> a team looking to individual

victims is looking to. one 9350,000 dutch citizens were on mh-17 out of the the total 298 people on board. almost every town in and city in the country has suffered a loss with victims of all ages and from all walks of life. communities right across the netherlands are holding memorials united in grief. harry smith reports now from amsterdam. >> authorities have set aside an area outside the departure haul for the passengers on flight mh-17 began their final journey. every day, it grows larger as do the numbers waiting to put their names in the book of condolence. most here to pay respects are neither friends nor family of those who died, simply fellow travelers who feel saddened and shocked by what's happened and a need to come here and show support for those now grieving.

>> at this that everyone is going insane. its crazy. um flying. i we want a little earlier to pay a tribute like this. >> i need to do something just sign something, lay flowers and people who passed away. >> owes choice to pay respect in private. this shame lies in the heart of the medical cementer where two of the victims where they worked on groundbreaking hiv aids research. they were on their way to a conference in melbourne which opened in their absence withtributes to the many delegates who died on flight mh-17. >> we grief alongside all of those throughout the world who have lost family and friends in

this senseless tragedy. >> a long time friend and says the chaos at the crash scene in ukraine is adding to the pain relatives now feel. >> it is senseless. it is not helping anybody in my view, and it is basically a reason to be extremely angry. and to be extremely sad that apparently nvm innocent people are at the wrong place at the wrong time. >> at harlem in the north of the netherlands, they held a memorial service for the haven'tims. in his prayer, the priest asked for guidance for those who could influence the political consequences of the disaster and prevent further escalation. harry smith, al jazeera, amsterdam. >> and that's all from europe for the moment, marin. back to you in doha. >> thank you very much. we have more to come in the

program including: >> i am trevorarianson outside the f.b.i. headquarters. al jazeera's investigative unit will introduce you to the shady characters recruited by the f f.b.i. to spy on muslims in the united states. >> and in sport, find out which driver found his car too hot to handle at the german grand prix. only on al jazeera america

>> al jazeera america presents a global finacial powerhouse >> the roman catholic church, they have an enormous amount of power >> accusations of corruption... >> there is a portion of the budget that takes care of all the clerical abuse issues. >> now we follow the money and take you inside the vatican's financial empire. >> when it comes to money, this is one of the sloppiest organizations on earth... >> al jazeera america presents... holy money only on al jazeera america >> israel's invasion of gaza continues tonight. >> we have been hearing a lot of tank shelling coming from where we are, here. >> every single one of these buildings shook violently. >> for continuing coverage of the israeli / palestinian conflict, stay with al jazeera america, your global news leader.

. >> hello. i am martin at the headquarters in doha. the israeli army says 13 soldiers are been killed on sunday. this come as israel has been intensifying its operations against the palestinian territory of gaza since launching a ground offensive on thursday. the palestinian health ministry says at least sixty people have been killed in just one neighborhood of gaza shujayea has been pounded overnight and sunday, the red cross was allowed in for a brief while to

retrieve the bodies. a sprart leader said a flight recorder recovered from the downed malaysian airliner is in rebel control let's go back to the main story, of course,ibilities in gaza. palestinians have been sharing their experiences after the heavy shelling of shujayea. mu brother's family is made up of 11 members. he, his by, his children, sister-in-law with four high month old twins. the house was hit by a missile from a office. -16. it was leveled to the ground. the doted bodies are under the debris. this was about 350,000:00 in the morning as neighbors were running for their lives, they heard a young voice screaming for help. >> our homes are being pounded i calling on the palestinian head of government and president bab

as to act. what are you waiting for? we are being killed here in gaza. you must act to have egypt's crossing opened. >> the u.s. secretary of john kerry has been speaking on the sunday morning talk shows in the united states. this is a bit of a tradition. on fox news, he was caught off-mic with what he thought was a private conversation. let's listen. >> you are doing a series of interviews with all of the networ networks, and while you were on cameron and while you were on microphone, you spoke to one of your todd top aides about the situation in israel and the fact that 14 israelis have either been shot or killed in an operation. we want to play a clip of that conversation because it's an extraordinary moment of diplomacy. take a look at this. >> it's a hell of a pinpoint operation. it's a hell after pintpoint operation. >> right.

escalating significantly. >> underscores the need for cease-fire? >> we've got to get over there. >> yeah. >> thank you, john. i think, john, we ought to go tonight. i think it's crazy to be sitting around. >> secretary kerry, when you said it's a hell of a pinpoint operation, are you upsetset the israel are going too far and do you intent to go back to the mil east tonight? >> i think it's very, very difficult in these situations, obviously very difficult, chris. you have people who have come out of tunnels. you have a right to go in and take out those tunnels. we completely support that, and we support israel's right to defend itself against rockets that are, you know, continuing to come in. >> so intriguing. isn't it. let's find out what patty culhane in washington, d.c. thinks. patty, an unguarded moment revealing his true thoughts on the situation? >> reporter: well, i think that you can probably very easily say

that he looked pretty upset by what he was hearing, what he was seeing but then when he was caught, he went right back to the administration line. i do want to let you know we realize now president barack bam /* obama and benjamin netanyahu and they gave out a readout, basically obama echoing what secretary kerry said that they believe israel has a right to defend itself. this is the first time we are hearing this from the obama administration. the president said he has serious concerns about the rising death toll of civilians, palestinian civilians and israeli soldiers and he announced to the secretary of state kerry is going to be on his way very soon to cairo and the statement ends, again, with stressing the need to protect all civilians. so you can see possibly what the president expressing in private, what secretary kerry thought he was expressing in private but wasn't. >> patty, has there been any feedback, any reaction from the white house or indeed the state

department with regard to that list of conditions that are being put forward by hamas which we understand to be on the table particularly right now here in doha. as u.n. secretary ban ki-moon and the overtime mir of qatar are talking about how to get a cease-fire going in gaza? >> i thought that was one of the more interesting places where israel and the u.s. seem to possibly have a bit of dye vergentions when it came out on the sunday talkshows, prime minister netanyahu is often on the talk shows but he was asked, the people of gaza cannots get out. he responded that there are ways for them to get out and that hamas is trying to increase the death toll in order to get intrufrz to ask tough questions of the united states. but then he was asked if he would offer any concessions and he flat out said, no, that would be rewardinghamas, destabilize the region. secretary of state john kerry had a different take. he said there should be an

immediate halt foall of the fighting but he said the u.s. is to be an honest broker to go into the region to try to negotiate the underlying causes. so, it seems that the u.s. is signalling they would like some sort of let-up on the siege, possibly but that the prime minister has already basically putting out there in public that he is not willing to negotiate. >> all right, sir, patty. thank you for that. patty culhane, our correspondent there live from the white house. there has been more international outrage to israel's offensive in gaza. this was a seen in sydney where thousands marched in support of palestinians. the protest was the second major rally on gaza in the last two weeks. protesters gathered in beirut. they burned imitation american and israeli flags. many of them are palestinian refugees who live in lobe non- >> now, it's 40 years since

turkish forces invaded cyprus dividing the island along ethnic lines. both sides have been marking the occasion in very different ways. we can go back to jonah in brochaw center to find out more. jonah? >> martin, the events of july the 20th, 1974 effectively partitioned the island with turkish-speaking cyprates in the north and greek in the south. decades of talks have so far failed to reconcile the divisions. in a moment, we will hear from paul brennan in the turkish-occupied north. but first, sigh mon macgregor wood has this report from the south. . >> every year, the sirens sound, 5:30 a.m. greek cypriats marking the invasion. they mourn those killed in the

fighting. white crosses with the 6,000 soldiers who fell, over 1600 greek cypriates went missing. the president laid a wreath along with the leaders of other political parties. this ancient search, a service of rememberance was led by the archbish archbishop. >> i feel like the i hopevation happened today. a huge country invaded cyprus and occupied 40%. nobody cared. not the united neighborhoods not the european union that claims its democratic. >> for greek cypriats, this is a day of loss and mourning and frustration that the politicians seem unable or unwilling to solve the cyprus problem for the latest on how this day is commemorated, i hand over to my colleague paul brennan in turkish occupied nicosia. >> the memories of the 20th of

july, 1974 are different from those of the greek cipriats south of the green line. they came not for invasion but for salvation. >> turkey sentence troops to defend turkish speaking cypriates targeted by greek militia. in a debt of gratitude clearly visible for a crowd cheering on military residents. >> the turkish president told them the result had been 40 years of peace on the island. but he admitted the status quo cannot go on forever, quad at we will not allow it to go on forever" many turkish cypriates share the concern whether soldiers are needed here there is the real common ground between greek and turkish cypriates. negotiations are ongoing. both sides met this week. the leaders are scheduled to

meet next week. a sustainable deal witness be just parachuted in. it takes willingness to compromise compromise. there is scant evidence of that at the moment. paul brennan, al jazeera, turkish-occupied northern cyprus. >> a former president of the occupied north says international pressure must be put on greek cypriates to share political power. in the international law, they are member of the united nations. they are member of the european union. why should they share the state with turkish cypriates. it means sharing the country, the goverance and power sharing, actually, will be based on political equality. >> that is it from europe.
