senator clementa-pickney and for civil rights and police violence and u.s. president barack obama expressed anger over the shootings saying gun violence do not happen in other advanced countries. in a moment we will go live to charleston but first this from allen fisher. >> this is the man arrested in connection with the fatal church shooting in charleston, south carolina. >> i'm very pleased to announced we have made an arrest in this case. we arrested dylann roof from lesionington south carolina. >> reporter: dylann roof was there at hour in the center of charleston and he then stood up and started shooting. the police say this was a hate crime. >> we woke up today and the heart and soul of south carolina

was broken. >> reporter: as police see the massacre a nationwide alert sent out and alleged shooter was pulled over in a traffic stop in shelby inn new york a three hours drive and the uncle knew of the picture and alerted the authorities. >> that awful person that terrible human being who would go into a place of worship and people were praying and kill them is now in custody where he will always remain. >> reporter: for the 14th time since he became president barack obama had to talk about a mass shooting in america. >> at some point we as a country will have to recon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries and it is in our power to do something about

it. >> reporter: in a facebook picture roof is wearing a jacket which carries the south africa and in charleston people voiced their anger. >> gun violence has to stop. >> people are scared to talk about the real issue which is race that is what we duck around from. >> reporter: it's alleged roof told one woman in the church she would live so she could tell the story of what happened and community leaders in charleston say this is a time for unity. >> we have prays for the family members who lost loved ones here tonight. >> reporter: they will interview roof and want to know if he acted alone and more importantly if there was a reason why he allegedly did what he did. allen fisher al jazeera. let get the latest from andy in charleston, south carolina so things have been unfolding quickly and had an arrest quite fast in this. how are people reacting there to the events? >> well this is a community in deep mourning. now, if you look over my shoulder here you can see the

flowers gathering on the corner here, people from the community coming up, every few minutes for lay down cards and flowers and the mayor of charleston saying this is a time for everyone to wrap their arms around each other and start that healing process but of course things have unfolded very quickly here. the suspect, the only suspect is dylan roof has been arrested three hours from here apparently in a traffic staff there was a huge effort on behalf of the police to track down the only suspect in this case and seems he was still driving that same vehicle because on wednesday night when the alleged gunman walked into that church and sat there for an hour before firing they got cc-tv pictures of him and also his vehicle and think he was still driving that same vehicle. but here in charleston don't want to concentrate on the arrest of this suspect, they want to begin healing and nine people have lost their lives in an extremely historic church and

this is the mother hurt and the heart of the community church set up by slaves and people in deep shock and this is being treated as a hate crime. many questions still remain as to what dylann roof acted alone and if he is part of a white race hate group and we know none of the answers answer here in charlton are not what people are addressing and they are trying to heal and come together no matter what race creed or color they are. >> reporter: you mentioned the fact people are trying to come together and it has raised the issue of gun control again, is that something that is likely to change at all in the united states given we have had so many of these incidents in the past? >> well, unfortunately in the 15 years or so that i've lived in the u.s. i've covered most of those mass shootings and it's a question i get asked time and

time again and i can say with certainty it won't change in the current administration but i think what president obama wants to do and indicated is they should at least have that conversation but as things stand right now you cannot get the people against gun and for control in the same room. remember this is a pretty political spot and hillary clinton was here and jeb bush was supposed to be here today but cancelled the visit after what happened and certainly it's a conversation that many americans would like to have but right here right now in charleston people are just coming together mourning the loss of nine lives. >> andy thank you very much indeed. almost 60 million people around the world have been forced from their homes by war or persecution according to the u.n. refugee agency which says it's the highest recorded and under 14 million had to flee in 2014 alone and the biggest increase ever seen in a single year that is average the 42,500

abandoning their homes and a refugee internally displaced or seeking asylum and turkey hosts 1.6 refugees or more than any other country and the main reason for the up surge is syria, since the fighting began there in early 2011 nearly 3.9 million people have been forced out of the country. let's go live now to anchor and speak to the u.n. high commissioner for refugees and thanks for joining us on the program and you are in turkey and that is one of the places they have some of the largest numbers of refugees how are they coping with those kinds of figures? >> as you can imagine it's a dramatic impact in the economies and in the societies, not only of turkey, look at lebanon, when serbs or palestinian or refugee

population and the international community needs to understand that these countries cannot cope with this challenge. the impact in the education and health systems and infrastructure, in water these countries need massive support from the international community here as in kenya and ethiopia around somalia or charred and cameroon and nigeria or pakistan and afghanistan. support to those countries is absolutely essential. first of all for refugees to be protected, for relations of refugees in the communities and for the suffering, the terrible suffering that corresponds to the need to leave one's house and community and not to be multiplied by the suffering of not having enough assistance enough support and not having a dignified life. >> syria is one of the key problems which is causing this mass displacement of people.

could you actually have a figure for how many syrian refugees there are now? >> today we have about four million syrian refugees in the region. and in turkey already 1.8 million. we grew since the beginning of the year and a few weeks ago we had a serious incident and 23,000 people crossed into turkey. and what i think is important to understand is that behind each one of these there is tragedy, a personal tragedy and that the suffering inside syria is something we cannot imagine due to this ongoing conflict that never ends. a country like turkey has been very generous and the border is open. there is the possibility for syrians to have access to education and health. turkey already spend more than $6 billion of its own budget to support refugees but unfortunately other borders in

other parts of the world are closed and at the same time the financial support to the humanitarian aid is dwindling. an organization like mine who has less money in 2015 than 2014 for the food program is forced to cut food support even here in turkey for the refugees in lebanon or jordan or other situations in the world. it's absolutely essential that the international community understands that much more solidarity needs to be expressed with displaced but also with those countries and those should not be left alone with refugees and it's important to have legal avenues to come in the eu and it's tragic to see people dying in the mediterranean and we need more legal opportunities for refugees to come from these troubled regions into the most developed countries in the world. >> the number of children now is staggering i read from your report more than half of the world's refugees are children.

if people realized that do you think they would be more likely to actually want to help and do you think that some of the european governments who have been resisting increasing the numbers of people coming in they need to be in some ways shamed into taking more refugees? >> i think what is important is to appeal for more people to be accepted. in europe in the gulf in north america, in the developed world. only one in each two children has access to primary education, refugee children. only one in each four refugee children has access to secondary education. less than 1% of refugee children have access to the university. and we cannot let this generation be in a situation in which they will become lost in which they will not be able to first of all to guaranty their own future and second to contribute to the reconstruction of their countries to contribute to global peace and security.

it is absolutely central to demonstrate to the violent troops that are acting in the zone that international solidarity will prevail and they will not be able to use the propaganda and to be effective with their propaganda taking profit of the people. >> thank you for taking the time to talk to us. as you heard there turkey is now hosting more refugees than any other country but the government says it's getting too little help from the rest of the word and bernard smith reports from turkey southeast. >> reporter: these are the basic of conditions for the latest refugees to arrive from syria. no running water, no electricity, no toilets, and no relief from the 40 degree heat. in this small park trees are the only shelter. the nearby camps these people want to go to are full. there is space in others but they are hundreds of kilometers away. >> translator: we had everything we needed before the war. a home a car.

and when the war came we lost everything, our house and i got injured and now we are biggers just waiting for handouts. >> translator: we suffer from everything here. no services not much food. for children it's difficult to adapt in this heat. some have been bitten by scorpions and i have shrapnel wounds but i can't go to the hospital because i don't have an id. >> reporter: 30,000 are accommodated in refugee camps. what were intended to be temporary for a few months have become permanent fixtures along the border with syria. turkey has overtaken pakistan as the world's largest refugee hosting country. this is one of the first camps the turkish government built and it's more than three years old and aid agency says it does have the capacity to increase its facilities should there be another influx of refugees. the turkish government said it had little support from other

countries to cover the cost of refugees and spent over $2 billion so far and provides food and water even to these makeshift camps. >> translator: everybody should be doing more. there are too few countries providing assistance to our relief and humanitarian efforts. it's a few western countries. it's a couple of gulf countries. but there are 50 big economies in north american europe and elsewhere. we need to have more resources. >> reporter: the u.n. says that the massive suffering from syria's war has made the middle east the world's largest producer and host of people forced to move from their homes. bernard smith, al jazeera, southeastern turkey. a german chancellor angela

merkel are urging countries to share the influx of asylum seeker and arriving through greece and at odds for a plan to be forced in to take in a certain number of migrants and all member countries should shelter an appropriate number. meanwhile serbia prime minister says wars and fences are not a solution to keep migrants out and was responding to hungry's plans to build a four meter high barrier along the border and tens of thousands are crossing balkins to reach europe and says he shouldn't be blamed. >> translator: what do yo do -- you do and serbia will not close itself and we do not want to live in an schwitz. coming up, in the news hour pope francis has praise for decisive action to save the planet from climate change. georgia warns that a tiger, bear

up the houthi rise to power. houthi is a senior member of the houthis or the parties of god as they call themselves. his fighters are troops loyal to former president saleh, have a growing influence in yemen and he is on a charm offensive saying he is here to talk about peace and until the chapter war. >> translator: we are committed to dialog and to a political agreement between all the factions. we want partnership. we don't want to exclude any party. >> reporter: the government in exile remains skeptical saying the houthis are buying time. >> translator: we have not started yet because houthi malitia and representatives have no vision. we hope they join talks brokered by the u.n. and recognized the legitimacy of the government. >> reporter: former president saleh and ally control the republican guards and elite army unit blamed for shelling

civilian areas. they have been firing rockets of neighborhoods in thai to repel a push by tribesmen loyal to president hadi and says the army should stay intact to protect yemen. >> translator: military establishments which is constantsly being pounded by the saudi-led coalition is the only guaranty against the political vacuum in yemen. the army is the backbone of any transition to democracy. if there is no army and police the next government will be underminded by malitias and al-qaeda. >> the houthi press conference turned into a scuffle. from the south accuse the houthis of killing people in southern yemen. as fighting continues across yemen, talks are stalled in geneva. the united nations hasn't been able to narrow differences

between the rival factions. in the absence of progress here in geneva yemen's only hope is in agreement between the region's key players and the international community with a humanitarian truce and have all the parties in yemen accept it and stop the suffering of people. al jazeera, geneva. euro finance ministers failed to strike a deal on greek debt crisis and announced after a day of talks in luxemburg and discussions next week with another euro zone summit set for monday. >> as of today it is still possible to find an agreement and extends the current program before the end of the month but the ball is clearly in the greek court to cease that lost opportunity. we feel that an agreement must be credible. it has to be credible from the perspective of sustainable

finances and economic recovery in greece but also needs to be credible from a point of view from credibility of a monetary union and the euro zone as a hole. imf chief says there is no grief for greece if it fails the repayment due at the end of the month. >> 30 of june is the day when a lump sum payment is due to imf and there is no grace period or two months delay as i have seen on here and there and on july 1st, no payment being made. >> in the last few minutes the greek finance minister is talking and in today's group they sent a powerful message with a proposal and could put an end to the greek dry may and coming out in luxomberg and we will go live in athens and seems they have not made a deal and greek finance minister said he

had a proposal that would have led to a deal what is going on here? >> well, lorne, there are lots of proposals flying around but at the moments the factors we don't have a formula that both sides agreed upon and what you are seeing here behind me now is a good 3-4,000 people reacting to that failure or rather even reacting preemptively to it because they timed and organized the gathering over 48 hours through social media calling upon the government to reach a deal as quickly as possible, that keeps grease in europe in the euro zone and feel greece is overplaying its hand and don't believe that greece can blackmail it's european partners threatening suicide and have come without slogans and no flags belonging to the sole lists that fell from power in january and not many politicians and a few did drop in. this is a true citizen's

movement behind me and they are carrying banners like no to stalinism and cut taxes and it's killing the economy. this is the private sector speaking and want the government to cut down the state, cut their taxes and get on with rebuilding the economy recordless of political coloring. >> in the meantime a few more lines dropping on the wires from this greek finance minister's speaking in luxomberg saying it's unfortunate they chose to folk enon the focus on the greek side and they blame the european partners for failure to agree a deal, how is that going to go down with the people behind you because they are already cross with the way the government is handling it? >> it's the creditor's general line and it's nothing new and saying the ball is in greece's court quite consistently and the real problem here is that the greeks and their creditors are

not really reading off the same page. creditors are saying that we need to see proposals that make us believe that they will be carried through, that the money will be there at the end of each execution of each budget and that these are not just promises that will then break down six months into the budget for a year and the greeks will ask for more financing and do not have that sense of faith in the greek proposals and no faith in the left wing government. many people i think on the other side of the table simply don't believe the greeks are negotiating in good faith in the sense of wanting to fix the economy along the lines of greater liberalization greater competitiveness, a more expert oriented economy that will become a strength for the euro zone. i think many people on the other side of the table feel that the greeks are trying simply to get more lenient financing with fewer terms attached that have political costs back here at home.

at prayers from environmentalists. >> translator: it's important that the pope says climate change carries an ethical and moral burden. we agree, climate change is an ethical issue because it evens the poor and also those who bear less responsibility. the pope's call for action will have an impact on 1.2 billion catholics around the world and push politicians to act. >> reporter: while pope francis bases his conclusions on global warmings and findings by the scientific community the vatican says it was one of the first to believe that global warming is caused by human activities. built in 1603 the vatican political of sciences was the first exclusive academy in the world. among the first members was galaloh and later tried for heresy and later said the catholic church nowadays has full faith in science. >> translator: they say we

follow what the american scientists are saying that it was us through our academy members, paul and mary who first claimed in the 1990s that the disproportionate use of fossil fuel caused climate change and global warming. >> reporter: the vatican is trying to set an example before aiming at becoming the world's first carbon neutral state, not an impossible task for the smallest state in the world with no industries. ironically it pollutes the most the day the new pope is elected. >> time to take out the trash. >> reporter: it has become a blockbuster for environmental groups around the world, a nonprofit organization based in brazil even believes the hollywood style of the trail and in it the pope fights big oil and gas corporations. now the real pope has been urged to use his power of persuasion to make the world a cleaner place. al jazeera, vatican city.
