>> all the sport including the end of a 40 year wait as the golden state warriors are crowned nba champions. >> after nearly three months of saudi-led airstrikes in over 2,500 people dead, it seems peace is no closer in yemen. geneva talks are on the verge of breaking down. let's go to geneva for the latest. what's gone wrong hashem? >> well, jane, there's a serious problem here at geneva because the united nations was planning to start talks between the two different parties about how to move forward and sign a truce agreement to be implemented across yemen that could pave the way for the different parties to

start a genuine discussion about a political settlement. none of that has happened yet. they're having problems with the yemeni government delegation which says that it is only going to sign a deal once the houthis pull out of the area they control. the houthis say they are not going to attempt any talks until a general agreement with all the parties about the agenda. what is this agenda of the talks. we enter a serious situation right here in geneva. in the next hours particularly one half hour from now we expect the press to be told exactly what is happening. if there is no substantial progress in the coming hour, the yemeni delegation is threatening to leave geneva. >> where does this leave the humanitarian situation? that's one of the aims of these talks, isn't it? >> back to square one. this is the biggest problem.

the international community the united nations secretary general has been saying that we need a two week humanitarian ceasefire near the month of ramadan that can pave the way for international aid to flow in and to give a positive sign to the world and to the people of yemen to the political process is on track. here's where you have the problem. for the houthis a truce means the saudi's should halt the airstrikes. for the government, it means the houthis should stop fighting on the ground. you have two different interpretations and at this particular moment to reconcile the differences among the different parties. >> thank you for that. >> more than 23,000 syrian refugees have entered turkey over the past two weeks as kurdish forces battled isil in the border town. now with the kurds taking control of the strategic town, some of the reef gees are

returning home. bernard smith joins us on the turkey-syria border. tell us what hams and some of their stories. >> jane, several hundred refugees have crossed back into turkey today. quite a few went earlier on this morning, then some in the middle of the day. it's quieted down a lot now. most of them, you mentioned about 20,000 crossed into turkey. most of them are still here, but several hundred have gone back, largely because they feel they would rather be at home, especially as ramadan is about to start than be here in turkey, squeezed into already overcrowded refugee camps. most of them say that they are reasonably resigned to having to go back. they don't fear being under kurdish control some do, but others feel they have no choice about it.

the influx of those coming over only started a couple of days ago, after the intense battle for control. >> the few people left are heading to turkey. they'll join the 20,000 who already escaped a three week battle for control of the strategic border town. fighters from the syrian kurdish ypg are now in charge. >> hour pleas are to take care of the poor people. we have no food or medicine. >> only last week, size as i will were here in the same place, trying to stop people leaving. a three week assault led by the ypg forced isil out. airstrikes from the u.s. led coalition were an essential part of the battle plan. now the kurdish flag flies. that makes the turkish government nervous. >> on or border, the west which

is conducting aerial bombings is unfortunately positions terrorist members of the pyd and pk confident in their place. >> turkey sees the ypg in syria as an off shoot of the turkish pkk. it's a separatist group that's fought a 30 year battle with the turkish state. >> the syrian kurds have now added this area to its list of self declared independently administered regions in northern syria, but uniquely that town is majority arab. however, the kurds say it was once kurdish before they were forced out firstly by the syrian government in the 1980's and more recently by isil. >> the group of 15 anti syrian government groups accused the ypd of displacing turkmen from the area. these accusations are baseless. we don't fight isil alone.

ar rashes and christians fight with us on the front line. we didn't liberate because its kurdish. we treat all syrian cities equally. we invite all the arabs who left to come back. anyone here can verify what i'm saying. >> for isil, it is their most significant sweep. the kurds now control the road to raqqa, the capitol of isil in syria. >> you may remember back in january, syrian kurdish fighters managed to repel an assault on the town of kobane. it's about 70 kilometers to the west of here. that was after a four month long battle when isil forces were attacking that town, they tried to take control of it. the syrian kurds managed to repel the isil attack with the help of an intensive air campaign airstrikes led by the u.n. led coalition. that campaign resulted in much

of kobane pretty much left in ruins, hardly a house was left standing in the pictures that we saw in the days after the syrian kurds managed to keep hold of it. it is a bit different here in that the campaign, the battle to take control of the town from isil only lasted about 20 days. yes, there have been some places destroyed, but certainly not to the extent of that one in kobane. i think there are again, you can just see behind me some people who have decided that for them, it's better to go back and see what the situation is in there rather than stay here in turkey. jane. >> thank you for that, bernard smith. >> the syrian government has used so-called elephant rockets in an attack on the outskirts of damascus killing 27 people. these are recent additions to the government's arsenal of improvised weapons. president bashar al assad's reveal has already been condemned for using barrel bombs and chlorine gas on civilians.

you may find some of the images in the report upsetting. >> it's a desperate scram bell to rescue a brother and as i say stare trapped in a building destroyed. it has been under attack by forces loyal to president bashar al assad for the last three years. his palace in damascus is 12 kilometers away, but this team elephant rockets were used named after the distinctive notice they make when launched. the i.e.d. is made by attaching motors to bombs increasing its destructive effect. the effects on people is clear in the local hospital, where scores of children are among the injured. across the world, u.s. secretary of state john kerry summed up what much of the international community thinks about such attacks. >> i think everybody's patience is wearing thin with respect to the extraordinary depravity of

the weaponry and mechanisms for delivery, which assad has used against his own people. >> the question is what can be done to stop suffering from attacks like this and from the continued use of chemical weapons, despite a u.n. backed deal to get rid of the stockpile two years ago. members of the syrian medical society are expected to give evidence to the u.s. committee on foreign affairs that their being used on civilians. the security council is considering another resolution to stop it. >> to make it very clear to the world that just because chlorine is a household product doesn't make it not a chemical weapon when put in a barrel bomb and dropped on civilians. >> the u.n. envoy to syria is meeting with assad trying to push for a political solution to end the conflict. he urged assad to stop hitting civilians. since 2011, human rights groups

have documented 230,000 deaths in syria. half of those are people not involved in the fighting. victims such as those in the attack on duma, this time there were shouts of joy as a girl was pulled alive from the rubble of a building blown up by asses air force. while underneath, her brother could still be heard calling for help. al jazeera. >> let's take a look at these homemade weapons and tactics used to kill syrians on a mass scale. elephant rockets used are made by attaching artillery rocket motors to much larger bombs. it causes more destruction but the rocket also loses accuracy and most of its range. human rights watch also alleges chlorine bombs are being used despite the regime stopping its chemical weapons russian. typically it is dropped from helicopters in the form of i am

provides barrel bombs. rebel groups spent months ton he will go deep under regime strongholds and fill the tunnel with explosives. a chemical weapons experts joins us. good to have you with us. what does it suggest the fact that these type of bomb little are now being used, the sort of things that you can find in the kitchen being used to kill people? >> i think first of all all these weaponry are completely indiscriminate and therefore completely illegal from every convention in the world p.m. i think it shows, you know, the desperation of the assad regime. if we look at the chemical weapons in particular, i've been investigating chemical weapon usage since march, 2013 and after the major sarin attack which killed 1500 people and the

removal of most of asses chemical weapons he's been using chlorine on a vast scale. this use of chlorine is what the syrian doctors are presenting to congress in just under an hour's time. it's unequivocal. unless the international community does something about it, these disasters and these horrific figures of death of just going to continue and continue, and i'm hoping that the congress and the u.n. security council now that they've been fully briefed will do something about it. >> what's going to be the difference this time? they've had knowledge in the past that the red line barack obama put out had been crossed. why will this be any different and if they do take action, what is it likely to be? >> well, i think the difference now is that we've got together a boiled of evidence that in any international court would stand

up, and those people in the congress will see it, and it is unequivocal. there is no doubt in my mind and congress's mind that these chemical weapons have been used and assad is using them. it's been very difficult for the international community to act. i think there are two things that would come out of the u.n. security council and also congress. firstly, to stop these indiscriminate weapons chlorine bombs or elephant bombs a no fly zone would do this. with the coalition air campaign going on at the moment, i think this would be achievable. the second thing is, we must continue to collect the evidence as i and others have done over the last three years so that at some point those responsible for these atrocities will fails justice in the international criminal court just as the bosnian and other generals are

facing their activities 15 years ago. >> the first step might be imminent, as you say. thank you very much. >> a pleasure. >> coming up on the program protests on the streets of hong kong as politicians debate how the city leaders can be elected. plus the greek central bank issues a warning with just two weeks left to reach a debt deal. >> in sport defending copa america champions. >> government ministers in australia are still refusing to comment on allegations that officials pay people smugglers to turn their boat back to indonesia. al jazeera's heard from the crew of that boat and we've shown the money they say was paid to them. andrew tomas reports. >> australia's prime minister still isn't answering questions.

>> what is your reaction to the picture of the u.s. dollars prime minister? >> these are those pictures, the money shot that have given fresh impetus to the allegations that australia paid people smugglers to turn a bolt of asylum seekers around on the sea. on wednesday the footage was shown on australian television networks. >> this interview with the captain suggest that despite the australian government's reversal to comment on the payments, they did take place. >> i told the australian man we needed money so we could return to our wives and children. he said ok, we'll help you. >> this. >> footage is of all six crew members. the saga and legality of what australian officials may have done at sea is dominating australian news. >> i'll get back to the question of paying money to people smugglers on water or land lawful? >> you are asking a question

based on an allegation and i don't feel the need to respond to someone else's allegation. >> if it happened, was it legal? the captain of the boat claims australian vessels guided his into australian waters, virtually the australian mainland where the payment took place. >> this is a question about whether the australian secret intelligence service has broken australian law by paying people smugglers in what appears to be from the evidence the crimean police are giving to our reporter in indonesia in australian territory. >> wherever it happened, if it did, paying smugglers isn't popular. most people on the streets of sidney were appalled. >> you can't keep it a secret, we don't know where the money's going. it doesn't work that way. >> the government rhetoric was turned back on him. >> does the prime minister stand by his statement last month that people smugglers are starting to use money they received to fund

terrorism? >> judy bishop claimed she did. >> a week ago australian government ministers flat denied the initial reports about these payments. since then, two things have happened. the government's position shifted from not true to no comment, and mounting evidence emerged from indonesia that the payments did take place. the pressure then is still on australia's government to come clean and explain. andrew tomas, al jazeera sydney. >> a spokesperson for the refugee action dough litigation in australia joins us live from sydney via skype. what is your response to these latest allegations? >> it's clear that as much as the government is trying to hide what is going on and refuses to comment, that these events did happen, people have a right to be outraged, but also to sort of be very critical of the

hypocrisy of the government who ramped up anti people smuggler rhetoric in the community for many years and seemed to be when they talked about being open for business, they aren't open for business. i guess however my main focus is the on going attempt by the government to stop people exercising their legal right to seek asylum, so the turning back of the boat is the real issue for me, and for us. >> is that murder, when you willingly turn people back into particular harsh circumstances unknown circumstances? >> that's true, they've repeatedly claimed their concerned about safety of lives at sea and needing to do these heavy cash turnback policy to say prevent that, however this particular bolt was turned back on to a reef and people had to get themselves ashore after it

crashed. my understanding too was it happened in international waters when these people actually had expressly said they were going to try to get to new zealand. >> it seems that the government is pushing for even more draconian measures than we've seen in the past. what do you think can celisticly be done to put a stop to this? >> well, i guess one of the only things we can do is to try and transform public opinion in australia, to get the news out. we have heard from crews many of those people are poor crimean fisherman. i would not label them at criminals. we have to make the point i think it's more criminal to essentially kidnap people on the high seas and turn them to places that they don't want to go against their will, basically kidnapping. that's a larger crime than someone trying to transport someone where they're trying to go. as we've seen, tens of thousands

have gone across the mediterranean this year without the same kind of deterrence policies from the governments of europe. we've also seen under pressure, indonesia and malaysia reverse their policies a couple of weeks ago. if other countries can be just susceptible, can be open oh to that sort of international criticism, then we have to make sure the australian government can be pushed to start to recognize its national obligations, to actually welcome and protect people seeking asylum in their country rather than using whatever methods they can of dubious legality to turn back. >> thank you for talking to us. >> thank you. >> greece's central bank said the country will face a deep recession if no deal is reached with creditors by the end of the month. it warned greece will face an

exit from the euro block and european union if that happens. election tsipras said he is still pushing for a deal that will keep greece in the euro zone. >> the time has come for europe to talk seriously not just about greeces future but the future of the euro zone. will itness on leading a country and the people into humiliation and poverty or pave the way for democracy and solidarity within its territory? >> meanwhile the british government said its stepping up preparations for possible greek exits from the euro zone. that comes before a meeting of euro zone finance ministers on thursday. greece is fast running out of options. it has to make a $1.8 billion payment to the i.m.f. by the end of this month. if it doesn't it will default but it's already running out of cash to meet its financial obligations. it could be forced to introduce

capital control to stop money leaving the country. according to royalties, more than $449 million were withdrawn from banks on monday. just under $29 billion had been withdrawn from banks in the first four months of this year, meaning greek banks won't be ail to provide money to the government and to pay pensions and salaries. let's talk to an in london, author and analyst on the global financial systems. she's also the director of policy research in macro economics. good to have you on the show. how long can greece go on like this? >> the deadline is effectively the 30th of june. the question is whether or not to mobilize the funds to repay the i.m.f. by the 30th of june. weaver seen local governments resisting central government attempts to use local government

reserve to say repay the debt, so it all looks rather precarious. >> as we've seen in the last week and specifically on monday, how much money is leaving the country, are we likely to see capital controls anytime soon and if that happens what's the impetus of that? >> the question is how greece goes about that. if greece has prepared for default and for capital controls, then there will be a period quite chaotic, i would have thought but it could also be a process of stabilization so that depends entirely on the extent to which the greek government is prepared for this, and i somehow think it's not entirely prepared because there seems to be very strong will on the part both of the greek government but also the greek people to settle with the european authorities the i.m.f. and e.c.b.

that will is very strong, and i therefore don't know that capital controls will necessarily come into force. >> do you think greece has been fairly treated? >> no, i don't think greece has been fairly treated. i think we need to understand this crisis not so much as a sovereign debt crisis but as an international banking crisis. the fact is that the crisis all blew up because of excessive lending by especially german and french banks to greek borrowers who really out not have been entitled to borrow, and the arrangements for allowing that borrowing was overseen by the european authorities and not tall rated. ette reason i say this that this is an international banking crisis is it is being extended now to ukraine. crane is also threatening to default on private debt and it was the private debt that initiated this process which is why i think we need an international insolvency

framework for resolving dealt crisis little between sovereign debtors and their countries both private and official. i have argued for this for a long time. it should be modeled on the united states framework itch is an insolvency framework for detroit and so on and orange county. it's that framework which enables to public authority to deal in a fair and transparent way, fair bolt to the debtor and to the creditors through an independent arbitration process. unfortunately, when the whole process is dominated by very, very powerful creditors, which i also what the i.m.f., the e.c.b. and the e.u. are relative to the very weak debtor which is what greece is, that is not fair and the resolution of it cannot be fair. >> let's leave it there. thank you very much. good to talk to you.

>> let's get the weather with everton. the tropical storm has made landfall. what impact is it going to make on the u.s.? >> it does look pretty bad. although it has made landfall, we have the brown ocean effect taking operation across the southern states. that's nasty in the water when you go for a swim. we have got a lot of saturated ground controls the southern plains. taking a look at the area we're concerned about the ground is saturated here, it does mean that the remnants of the storm moves in across that very wet ground it still has quite a bit of moisture, hence we could see as much as 150-300 millimeters of rain across some parts of the u.s. south. we've got more heavy rain coming in. it has caused flooding in houston. this is a typical scene across the texas coast as the storm made its way inland. you see very heavy seas pushing

in, high waters and inevitably a fair bit of flooding. there will be further flooding through the next few days. this is the remains of wednesday, more heavy showers and flooding, rain in the process of pushing into oklahoma into arkansas. it gradually makes its way across missouri where there is already flooding in place. it will eventually push up toward illinois. it makes its way further north wards and east wards that's thursday's picture. really heavy rain by this stage now making its way across arc argue, eventually it does make its way a little further north wards and eastward. gradually we will see dry weather coming behind. >> thank you. still ahead the u.n. health agency said south korea's mers out break is a wake-up call for the whole world. >> coming up, threatening to destroy this famous famous star wars set as well as many communities here in southern

while the crowds are smaller the mood is similar to what we saw in october. this is a defining historic moment for hong kong, essentially a vote on its political future. everything since the hand over in 1997 has been leading up to this moment. the legislators in this believe are essentially right now debating a proposal that was approved by china's parliament, the national people's congress back in august. that basically said hong kong could choose its next chief executive in 2007, so lange as there were no more than two or three candidates that have been vetted. many opposition parties have rejected that and one said it's better to have no democracy than a little democracy. >> do you call that real choice? do you call that real universal hourage? hawk our people not be their own

bosses promised to us since the 1980's. >> many outside are from the parties that want this to pass. there are 70 legislators and each can speak up to 15 minutes so it could be friday before we get a vote. now the pro beijing group say it is better for hong kong to have this package because a little democracy is better than none and represents hong kong's best and last chance of getting that real democracy. >> we've got to support the reform, because back then, during a british colonial era we never had any genuine democracy. >> there is of course an irony in all of this. china, the world's last great communist super power imploring hong kong to accept democracy. the opposition groups say it is a fake democracy which is why they'll be voting against it. >> south korea's reported one

new death and eight new cases of mers. the world health organization has called the outbreak a wake up call, saying a lock of knowledge that helped the disease spread. we have the latest from seoul. >> it's been nearly a month since the first reported cases have mers were identified in south korea. while they've battled the outbreak, they've been fighting the adverse publicity. up to now, 160 people have been reported with the mers syndrome. over a dozen have died. many thousands are still in quarantine. this graph shows when the first cases were reported and how they peaked at the beginning of june. report the cases now seem to be on the decline. whether the figure increases dependency on the incubation period of the virus. the next few days are important. >> the next two weeks are crucial, because we are cautiously optimistic that there will be a plateau and then a

dropoff, because there's been such aggressive isolation of those in contact with the virus. >> thousands of schools and college that is shut their doors as a precaution have now reopened. only a few hundred remain closed. while medical workers continue to encourage precautionary measures in public places, the authorities have been disinfecting and fumigating public venues and transport links. >> it's not a great message to be sending out. we're days away from the peak tourist season starting. as many as 16 million visitors are expected in 2015, and that's seems unlike lie now. hotels and tour operators have had as many as 100,000 holiday cancellations. the government has offered a rescue package of $64 million for those businesses that could be affected to help them with cash flow problems. >> it's now eamericad that as many as 30 foreigners are currently in observation and

we only had water from god. >> scientists partly blame climate change for what's happening here. every year, there's less rain and more underground water evaporates. the soil becomes dry and salty. >> large amounts of water have very high salt levels. >> it's called desertification. some of the most famous scenes in star wars were filmed here. every year, thousands of cubic meters of sand are removed from the set. the sahara, the greatest hot desert in the world, is growing every day. scientists are talking about building a green wall across the whole sahara, a belt of trees and plants that will help prevent the creeping of the

desert north and south, and try to stop more land erosion. here a unique irrigation system makes sure the palm trees only get the water what they need. it is a major source of fruits. these organic dates are exported abroad, creating jobs and money for the community. >> we need to stop this irrational exploitation, chopping down trees in the desert. if there is no common consciousness or vision, the solutions we have won't be enough. >> the people of this town have shown it's possible to survive this harsh environment. their dream is other communities follow their example before the expanding desert destroys more land. al jazeera, southern tunisia. >> part of a united nations lead team that he courages farmers to

change the way they work says restoring soil fertility to the land is vital to combat desertification. >> i think that countries have really to take the dimension of whether land is for their own benefit. you know in most of africa, for example, 65% of all the agricultural land is degraded, and so clearly there are ways by which we can repair the land, and it should really become a priority for most of the poorest countries of the world. this can be done. there are ways in particular by making sure that we go to agro business, which will allow the land to restore and soil fertility to come back. if i take an example, for

example, niger they did this kind of work in the north and thanks to the work that they have been doing, they have been actually now restoring more than 2 million hectares and brought out 600,000 people out of poverty. >> disney left hand with a slight twist russians president vladimir putin opened a military-themed park where kids can learn to shoot climb on tanks and learn of past military goalies. the park isn't fully opened yet. rory challands has been to the venue's first proper event weapons show. >> examining the produce looking for bargains, military have brought their shopping list to russia's military technical
