yemen president. he was a member of al quaida until 2004. and jailed until 2006, he was released and began his work as a paid informant for the yemen government. he claims he warned security agencies one week before the attack and provided details on the day itself. just over a year later a daring assault on the u.s. emmassey left 19 dead. he again says he warned the security services three months before, a week before, and three days before.

his handler as an iranian formant was colonel amar. he says he did not just ignore the attacks he went so far as to hand over money for the explosives used against the u.s. embassy he then arranged for the materials to be given to the military commander al jazeera has

verified his background within al quaida, we have also established that he was a bomb maker. that's how he gained detailed knowledge about the attacks. he lost his right thumb handling explosives we have shown his testimony to two retired intelligence officers both experts on al quaida. >> my interpretation, is that again, this is a guy who in substantial measure is who he says he is. he knows these people, if you look back at the history there's been very few people that have come out with detail of what is really going on at the top so somebody being able to report what was going on over a period of months even perhaps years even if it is a few years back, is an extraordinary valuable. >> if i had to give him a ballpark grade i would say

probably like 70/30, 70 being genuine. >> spain and the u.s. have investigated the attacks and closed the cases. he says he is willing to testify in front of any international panel, in order to bring justice. >> well, since we started running this story president hadty has sacked him from his current job as the military to ethiopia and he wants him to stand trial, it is believed the colonel will use his dip lo t maic immunity, you can watch the full documentary, in just over 14 minutes here and you will find extended interviews articles and a lot more, that's all at aljazeera.com.

f. members can ask to bundle principle payments due within a calendar month earlier prime minister said that a deal was within sight but greece still rejects the pension cuts and tax rise on electricity, that it's creditors are demanding. and european officials say there are still big gaps before vital bail out loans are released. let's get more on this, and live in athens hi there john what's the significance there of bundling these together. >> it's a development we were expecting, this week, because if the greeks weren't going to have a quick agreement on wednesday, for example when the greek prime minister met with the commission president, then they were go ink to have to figure out what to do. about the four payments this month, which total $1.6 billion. were they going to pay them on time as they each came up. on the 6th 12th, 16th.

>> 19th or we though going to be asked for them tock bundled. because we expect these talks will now go down to the wire, the wire being june 30th that's the official end date of the current facilitation loan, the agreement which in the theory funding the greek government through it's current leads. but which has been suspended since february pending a new agreement with the government that was elected at the end of january. ten we are now going to see i suppose a very prolonged set of discussions going through june hopfully to reach a draft agreement according to the greek delegation yesterday, in order that it may then go to national parliament and be ratified. >> we keep hearing with the greeks say we are very close to having an agreement but i guess the reality is that there are still huge gaps and plenty of debate to come. >> that's right.

the greek side did manage to score something of a coupe in sending it's 47 page long plan for an agreement on monday night. first. before any kind of counter offer came from it's creditors 24 hours later. having said that, that didn't mean that it prevails quickly, the greek prime minister said after late night chalks with the commission president that our proposed solutions are still the only realist zych constructive proposal on the table. and later today his finance minister said that the proposed solutions by the creditors would significantly deepen property and unemployment. there is still very large issues as you said that remain, one of them being what to do about a perceived tax revenue short fall, as greece going to hike it's consumer tax by up to ten percentage points on electricity bills is it going to agree to cut minimum

pensions from 400 -- from $550 to just $220. these are things that would not be palatable to the left wing of the left wing government now in power. i think that as many commentators have said, this government has probably pushed it's hardliners about as far as it can in making several compromises so this is where we get to the difficult part. >> joining me live, john, thank you for that update. >> 77 bodies have now been recovered from the sap sized ship in china's river, it is three days after the disaster hundreds of passengers are still missing and recovery teams are preparing to raise the huge vessel with cranes. most of the 14 survivors were crew members. from the scene adrian brown has the story. they are still calling it a rescue operation but it is the dead and not the living they are finding now. the weather is making that
