other countries greek's minister doesn't contemplate a euro exit a war in persecution - displaced persons reach a high of 60 million. >> a national passion in europe - marking 200 years since the battle of waterloo. >> i'm robert adam with all your sport. including a moment of madness with the star captain and player missing two matches at the copa america hello, we begin in the united states where police arrested a suspect in the shooting which killed nine people in an historic black south carolina church. 21-year-old dillon roth was

detained in a travelling stop at north carolina. detectives say he spent an hour at a church meeting wednesday, before opening fire. one of the dead was pastor and democrat senator clementa pinckney a campaigner for civil rights and police violence. u.s. president obama expresseded his anger saying such incidents of gun violence don't happen in other countries. we'll go to andy gallagher. what do we know about the man suspected of carrying out this attack? dillon roth for the first time we have seen presidents of him custody. he is the only suspect in the shooting death of nine people murdered in the church here behind me. he was ground because there was such an outcry such a national attention to this story this everyone knew what he looked

like. the c c.t.v. pictures from the church was clear, we knew what car he was driving. and he was apparently stopped in a random traffic stop in shelby. i have to say the mood here in charleston is one of grieve. it was a church established from african-americans fighting for freedom of slavery. they say the man picked on the wrong up church. they'll recover, but the community will put their arms around each other. they are in shock. they lost nine lives. a woman in their 80 was one of the victims. let's look at the event of the last few hours. >> why did you do it? >> reporter: this is the man arrested in a fatal church shooting in south carolina. >> what do you have to say?

>> reporter: police say dillon roth spent an hour at a night-time prayer meeting at the historical emanuel a.m.e. church and then stood up and started shooting. this, say police was a hate crime. >> we coke up today... ..and the heart and sole of south carolina was broken. >> reporter: as police worked around the scene of the massacre a nation-wide search went out. he was pulled over in a north carolina stop. his uncle recognised the picture and alerted the authorities. >> that awful person that terrible human being who would go into a place of worship where

people were praying, and kill them is now in custody where he will always remain. >> for the 14th time since he became president, president obama had to talk about a mass shooting in america of. >> at some point we as a country would have to reckon as a fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other countries, it's in our ability to do something about it. >> roth is seen carrying a flag of south africa apartheid. >> it has to stop. >> reporter: it's alleged roth told one women in the church she would live to tell what happened. community leaders in charleston say it is a time for solidarity.

>> we stand in solidarity. >> reporter: police will interview roth and want to know if he acted alone, and if there's a reason he did what he did did. >> well, joining semi a reverend involved in the churches and knew members killed last night. firstly your reaction to the crime? >> it's a mixture of shock, horror anger, a certain degree of reassurance because they caught someone. all of those things the fbi is treating this assist a hate crime, do you have doubt that this was a crime motivated by race? >> i have no doubt whatsoever. when someone comes in sits through a bible study, kills people in cold blood and then keep someone alive to report the race is ranked before shooting,

it's a hate crime. >> i now you have seen members, black and white, coming together. how important is that? how does it help in the healing? >> i think it's important. if has to be a community effort a sustained effort. too often when tragedies come people come together recollects heal sing kumbaya and go home. i would hope that people stay together and change the political dialogue making it less toxic when deal with race. >> the church behind us is a historical site for different reasons than what happened in the last few hours. how do you move past the heinous crime. >> the church behind us was manned after one of the members was executed after forming a slave rebellion, the church worshipped underground for 30 years, it was facing serious

troubles, and was the site of civil rights battles. this is the latest in a series of matters that the church will deal with and move on. >> thank you very much and the big question now is why this young man who is adelaide to have carried out the -- alleged to have carried out the crimes now did, and the question now is whether he acted alone in what he is alleged to have done thank you much andy gallagher in south carolina scuffles broke out at a news conference held by houthis officials. the head of the houthi delegation had a shoe thrown at him, an act insulting in arab culture. they were trying to reach a humanitarian truce in yemen. hashem ahelbarra reports. from yemen. >> reporter: from the mountains of sanaa to the united nations offices in geneva a journey

that sums up the houthi rise to power. a senior member of the houthis, or the part sans of god as they call themselves his fighters and troops loyal to former president ali abdullah saleh have a growing influence in yemen. ham za is on a charm offensive, saying he's here to talk about peace and turn the chapter of war. >> translation: we are committed to dialogue and a political agreement between all the factions. we want partnership. we don't want to exclude any party. >> the government is skeptical, saying the houthis are starting time. >> translation: it hasn't started because the houthi representatives had no vision. we hope they join talks with the u.n. >> reporter: former president ali abdullah saleh and his ally control the republican guard, an

elite army unit blamed for shelling civilian areas. they have been firing rockets at neighbourhoods in tiaz to repel a push by tribesmen loyal to abd-rabbu mansour hadi. his envoy to the talks says the army should city intact to protect yemen. >> the military establishment, which is constantly pounded by the saudi-led coalition is the only guarantee against a political vacuum in yemen. the army is the back bone against any transition of democracy. the next government will be undermined by militias and al qaeda. the houthi press conference turned into a scuffle. secessionists from the south accused the houthis of killing people in southern yemen. as fighting conditions 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 in geneva yemen's only hope is an agreement between the key players and the international community on a humanitarian truce, and have all the parties in yemen accepted and stop the suffering of people now, greek finance minister insists there is still time to reach a bailout deal with the country's creditors, despite a latest meeting with eurozone finance ministers failing to reach agreement. another summit is set for monday. >> we are dangerously close to a state of mind. i urge my colleagues not to full pray to this state of mind. our government is standing by

with ideas and determination to cultivate the trust to end the drama. >> as of today it is still possible to find an agreement and ex-extend the program before the end of the month. the ball is in the greek court do seize that opportunity. we feel that agreement must be credible, it must be credible from the perspective of finances and economic recovery in greece and from a point of view of credibility of the monetary union and u.n. as a whole. joining me in the studio is a greek journalist based in london. thank you for coming in to speak to us. how close is greece to defaulting on loan repayments? >> if we see, we are close.

by the end of the month we need to find a solution an agreement, with a european union. so according to that we have only two weeks left if not less. the problem is what kind of solution we'll have and how long this solution will last. if we have something, if they give us money to pay what we own to the i.m.f. and the european union. everyone knows that the greek people in greece are suffering a lot. and specially the poor people who are boarer and poorer. >> it's seen that both sides are digging their heels in. the finance minister is particularly entrenched now. is there a possibility that they could blink at the last minute. there is still time for a deal it has been said. there'll be a meeting on monday.

could they agree a deal at the last minute to avoid default. >> if you ask my opinion, at the end they'll have a deal. what they'll try to do both times is exercise their rights and go to the end at the last moment. everyone was expecting from the other side to have a deal. the problem is we can have an accident that can cause a greek exit. we have to wait to see. >> do the people of greece recognise that? >> yes. right now alexis tsipras is the most popular prime minister since 1974. and everyone sees that there is a problem with the greek economy. i understand that it would be hard to move faster. and we should have done the deal. but however, alexis tsipras is

popular in greece. according to "the times" today, the "london times" his wife said if he's going to sign the deal without thinking about the greece people she'll ask for a divorce. >> that's an interesting take on it. now you have - you say that he's popular right now, but he has the greek people on one side he's stuck between a rock and a hard place, they are demanding that greece makes certain reforms. when it it comes to pensions and cutting back on government spending - if there was to be an accident as you put it this is not a government that would be popular with the greek poem because we could see a situation worse than the one right now. >> you are right. if they are going to have an accident and greece goes out of the eurozone we'll have a problem, because the majority of

the greek people want to stay in the eurozone. the majority more than 70%, what's helped now is everyone wants to deal with a crisis a social crisis that we have in greece. people, really they are starving, which never happened at least the last 20, 30 years. >> thanks you very much for coming in and sharing your thoughts on this with us. more to come on the al jazeera newshour pope francis warns the world it's turning into a pile of filtered as he calls for access on climate change. asylum seekers who witness australian authorities paying people smugglers, and we'll have lots for you still ahead in the sport. why a nation of baseball lovers is going football crazy. robin will have that story and more of it later.

now, human selfishness is the reason for global warning. that's the message for pope francis. in a tweet the pontiff used stronger language saying: we have this report from the vatican. >> reporter: it's judgment day on the causes of climate change. the vatican released a long letter called an encyclical written by pope francis with his views on ecology and environment, embracing the theory that global warming is mainly caused by human activity. in the 184-paged document published in many language pope francis called for changes with what he calls: accusing governments of not

doing enough to tackle the problem. the pope's unprecedented stance is an answer to prayers from environmentalists. >> translation: it's important that the pope says climate change carries an ethical and moral burden. we gree it is an ethical issue, and there are those that bear less responsibility. the pope's message has an impact on catholics around the world and we hope it pushes politicians to act. >> reporter: pope francis based conclusions on the findings of the international scientific community, the vatican claims it was among the first institution to believe that global warming is caused by human activity. the academy of sciences was the first in the world. galileo, galley lay was along the first members, tried for

heresy. the catholic church these days has full faith in science. >> they say we follow what the american scientists say. it's us through academy members who claimed in the 1990s, that the disproportionate use of fossil fuel caused climate change and global warming. >> reporter: the vatican is aiming to become the first carbon neutral state. not impossible for the smallest state in the world with no industries. ironically it pollutes the most when a new pope is elected. >> time to take out the trash. >> reporter: the encyclical became a block buster. a hollywood-style trailer has been released in relation to it. the real pope is asked to use

his power of persuasion to make the world a cleaner place there are now more refugees in the world than at any other time history. according to the u.n. refugees agency many have been forced from their homes, under 14 million had to flee in 2014. the biggest increase in a year an average of 42,500 people abandoning their homes every day. worldwide, one person in 122 is a refugee, internal by displaced or seeking asylum. turkey hosts under 1.6 refugees, or 11% of displaced people. the main reason is syria. it's more than any county. nearly 3.9 million syrians have been forced out of the country. the u.n. commissioner for refugees said countries opening their doors to refugees are

coming under enormous economic strain. turkey in particular needs help. >> today we have about 4 million syrian refugees in the region and in turkey 1.8 million, with enormous growth since the beginning of the year. a few days ago there was another incident at the boarder, 23,000 crossed into turkey. what i think is important to understand is that behind each one of these, there is a tragedy, a personal tragedy, and that the suffering in syria is something we cannot imagine due to this ongoing conflict that never ends. a country like turkey is generous much the boarder is open. there is the possibility for syrians to have success to education. turkey spent more than 6 billion of its own budget to support refugees. other borders in other parts of the world are closed. there are walls announced and at

the same time the financial support, the humanitarian aid is dwindling turkey is hosting more refugees than any other country. the government says it's getting too little help from the rest of the world. bernard smith reports from turkey's south-east. >> these are the most basic of conditions for the latest refugees to ask from syria. no running water, no electricity, no toilets, and no relief from the 40 degree heat. in this park trees are the only shelter. the nearby camp is full. there's space in others it is hundreds of kilometres away. >> we had everything we needed before the war, home car. now we have nothing, i have been injured. now we are beggars, waiting for handouts. >> translation: we suffer from everything, no services not much food.

for children it's difficult to act in the heat. three have been bitten by scorpions, i have shrapnel wound, but can't go to hospital because i don't have i.d. >> reporter: more than 33,000 are in camps. what were temporary refugees are now permanent fixtures. turkey has over taken pakistan as the largest refugee hosting country. this is one of the first camps the turkish government built, it's more than three years old. the aid agency says it has the capacity to increase facilities should there be another influx of ref gees. the turkish government says it has little support to cover the cost of hosting syrian refugees saying it spent $5.2 billion, providing food and water, even to those makeshift camps.

>> everybody should do 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 golf countries, but there are 50 big economies in asia, in north american europe, we need more resources. >> the massive suffering made the middle east the world's largest producer and host. bernard smith, al jazeera. south-eastern turkey the captain of a people smuggling vote who said he was paid by australian authorities to return migrants to indonesia scribed a terrifying ordeal on the voyage back. australia prime minister continues to dodge questions about the alleged payments. andrew thomas reports from

sydney. >> reporter: did australia pay smugglers to take these asylum seekers to indonesia? from sri lanka, bangladesh and myanmar, they are languishing in an immigration host elt. they are bored and listless but on dry land. for most of may they were at sea, on boats similar to this. they unwittingly did a month-long loop around the timor sea, a passage to new zealand, where they hoped to seek asylum paying $$4,000. in international waters they were intercepted by an australian customs vessel and days later by a warship. the passengers were taken on that. the crew were taken almost to the australian mainland. there they were given, they say, money, and told to go back to where they'd come from. >> the australians reunited them with their passengers. gave them two fishing boats and

esaccorded them to indonesia. well short of land they stopped following. >> reporter: we had limited food on the boats, limited fuel. not more than 10 hours. we had a useless navigation device. >> one boat ran out of fuel. it ran aground. most swam ashore. many were collected by fishermen and taken to the island of roti. the police got involved finding out about the $31,000 paid by australia defense force. money al jazeera felt. it don't feel tas good thing to pay. they are the defense. they never break the law. it's their duty. >> reporter: indonesia, the crew

was arrested. their money has been confiscated by police. in australia it's been dominating debate all week. australia's government is refusing to comment. it seems almost certain that the payments did take place. australia, then, stands accused of paying money to the smugglers its government says is part of an evil trade. all australia's prime minister will say is we do whatever we need to do to stop the boats still ahead for you on al jazeera - after staging attacks in chad boko haram causes more carnage in niger georgia warns a tiger, bear and high heena are on the loose after a flood destroys tbilisi and a champion crashes out

but did not address the reasoning behind his decision not to include israel. diplomatic editor james bays reports. >> the u.n. secretary general publicly presenting his report on children in the world's conflict zone. it's a controversial document leaving israel off the list of worst violators, despite detailing how the israeli raigs in gaza caused -- operation in gaza caused the death of many children. later, ban ki-moon addressed the press. >> ladies an gentlemen, i have an urgent meeting where i have to participate. i hand the floor over to my special representative. >> reporter: secretary-general, we are told it's your report it's you we have you ask the questions to. claiming he was too busy the u.n. secretary generate left his

special representative to answer questions, even though she represented that israel be on the list of violators, and it was his decision to take them off the list. and the secretary-general bow to political pressure and remove israel from the annex. >> i will not answer the question. i stand by the report what is in it. i think that we said already, and i think in the report you have the response of the secretary-general, so i'll stake stick to the report the palestinian ambassador said he was anguished by a decision not to put israel on the list. >> if you meet the criteria you have to be there, not for political consideration. >> israel has given hits response, even though it managed to keep itself off the black list. the ambassador to the united nations complained about misconduct in the office of the

u.n. special representative, which he accuses of bias. now, 38 people have been killed in attacks by boko haram, in southern mijer. gun -- niger, gunmen shot two people. chad's people launched operations in nigeria, after suicide bombings killed people in the chadian capital. nigeria denies that chad carried out strikes in its territory, the latest from nigeria's capital abuja. >> reports of the attack in niger comes as a surprise to many. there has been a significant reduction in the number of attacks by boko haram, since the new president took over at the end of may, and before then. there is a sense, a feeling that these attacks are a last-ditch attempt by the group to remain

impact of the and relevant. there were reports on wednesday of people being affected by unexploded devices left by boko haram. clearly that is different from a natural attack launched by the group. the leader has been on a tour of the region you could say, talking to leaders in particular in niger and chad about better ways to combat the group. and talked to leaders at the african union summit to reinforce the determination of the nigerian authorities to defeat boko haram, and ordered the release of 20 million from the nigerian treasury to go towards the military effort to defeat the group. so the question is whether the momentum, at a political level, is felt on the ground. and clearly if these reports are accurate, many may say, particularly those affected by these attacks, that the impact and the changes that are made at the top, and the momentum at the

top is not felt on the ground. politicians in hong kong rejected an election reform bill. it would have given voters the opportunity to elect their leader in 2017. but they'd be restricted to choosing from candidates approved by beijing, a move called un-democratic. china correspondent adrian brown has more from hong kong. >> reporter: well the clean up is be gaping beginning outside the legislative assembly. the numbers of protesters are thinning out. it's been a good day for the pro-democracy groups. they ensured a deposit proposal to broaden democratic reform in hong kong would not and has not passed. in a sense, it's an irony having democrats calling for democracy, voting down a proposal to do that.

they say they had to because what was offered was, in a sense, a fake democracy. it ended quickly and chaotically. i think the pro-government parties realized that the vote would be a formality. they knew they didn't have the numbers, they knew they'd lose and they simply walked out of the chamber before the vote. ensuring that the democrats got their way the canadian economy is heavily dependent on oil and gas. it's been hit hard by the global collapse in prices. this year alone a quarter of the jobs connected to the fossil fuel industry will go. meaning around 185,000 people will lose their jobs. in the oil regions of kiki bert alberta, 185,000 jobs have been lost. they need an average price of $100 a barrel to break even. crude is trading at $65 a barrel.

daniel lak has been to alberta to see the impact of the oil price collapse. >> reporter: an empty factory where once dozens produced components to the albert area industry. with prices low, almost everyone is laid off. by june when the project is complete no one will be here before. >> disappointing to have growth chopped at the knees. things were good. we were getting a good reputation, and a good crew. they were efficient. >> this is all we have for stock. >> reporter: at the local food bank it's busy they are worried donated supplies of groceries will not match demand, because unemployment is growing in an area allowing too many jobs not enough workers. >> here 90% of our clients have been laid off. pretty much everyone coming has been laid off.

>> across kiki bertens, 20,000 lost jobs lay offs and closures are expected. even if prices stablilize. >> here is part of the impact too on politics. a provincial election in may brought a landslide victory for the socialist party, a surprise end to 44 years of government. in what has been canada's most business-friendly province. >> if you look at alberta's history, one thing stands out. when there has been changes in government, and have been periods in which there was more political unrest with say, the rise of an opposition party, those periods tend to correlate with economic hard times and in kiki bertens that usually means low oil prices. >> oil is an economic mainstay. it's part of her stage, commemorated at the site of a first strike in 1947. in the town at the heart of that

industry there's concern about a declining economy, and relentless optimism that oil prices will rise again and good times will return as they have before. >> we are seeing small business close and lay offs happen. we know that once again this will change. it's a matter of timing. >> reporter: low prices don't stop or slow the extraction of oil. whether it's the bitumen rich tar sands of the north or conventional wells. companies produce more though keep a cash flow up. canada's reliance, some say overreliance is not going to change soon zoo keepers warn that some animals may be on the loose in george's capital after flooding destroyed their enclosures. a tiger was shot and killed on wednesday after attacking and killing a man. we have this report from tbilisi

zoo. >> reporter: a smear of blood marks the spot where a predator killed the first man to walk into this warehouse, across the road from the zoo. alexander heard the screams. >> translation: we broke the window and saw how the tiger bit the man on the net. we threw a brick at the tiger, he jumped away and ran. it took police two hours to find and shoot the animal. >> reporter: zoo managers claimed all animals were catered for. it's not clear how many other animals survived. some considered dangerous were shot. most drowned. rescuers are recovering dead animals from the mud. >> we treated them like our children. we knew their names, their stories. we cared about them, like parents. so of course it's hard to lose all of them.

>> it looks as if they had to cut open the cages to get the bodies out, because the back entrances are silted up. the river, floodwaters brought through huge amounts of mud, rocks and debris the animals didn't stand a chance. volunteers are cleaning up neighbourhoods. 15 are known to have drowned. others are missing. this has been a human tragedy. >> it's important, one of them had a 7-year-old boy and 14-year-old. >> there is concern that out there somewhere may lurk another predator. those animals that have been found, like the now famous hippo, are safe now, european royals and diplomats gathered in belgium to

celebrate the 200th anniversary of the battle of waterloo marking a turning point in european history and touches a nerve, whilst stirring national passions. rival armies converged on the battlefield. barnaby phillips went along. >> reporter: in the fields outside brussels the british army is preparing to fight the french. they don't look like battle hardened soldiers but the duke of wellington is confident of victory. >> i've never been defeated by a french army i have no intention of starting today. >> you have never came face to face with the emperor. >> i understand the self-proclaimed emperor is not the man he used to be. he's not in good health. i'm in robust health. >> reporter: amidst the pomp and ceremony and fun, it's easy to

forget what a terrible slaughter took place on the fields. at the end of the battle of waterloo 50,000 were dead the wounded were in agony, without access to any form of medical treatment, and the duke of wellington said he was fired of war, he never wanted to see another battle. >> on the opposite side of the battlefield a familiar figure is coming tout inspect his guard. napoleon was a short man, casting a long shadow over europe. i have been summoned to meet him, a great honour. what does napoleon make of europe in 2015? >> he would want to be in chavern. if he could see europe today, he would not be impressed. he would prefer is to be a great empire, but under-french control. >> this lady is plague a polish countess one of napoleon's

lovers, she pace her respects to the dead. >> remember the people that died here it's not important which side it was - french english, russians just remembering people that died here. >> waterloo was the battle that ended french domination of europe and brought peace for decades. for the poem that came here waterloo is an opportunity to live in the past for a few days and wear fabulous uniforms. >> still to come on al jazeera - just for men, or is there room for women as well. we look at the video game industry gender visit. >> and another candidate puts his name forward to succeed sepp blatter as f.i.f.a. president. robin with the details in a moiment. -- in a

welcome back. now, think of video games and most picture a pastime dominated by men and teenage boys these days half of gamers are women. as rob reynolds reports from the e 3 gaming convention, there's a gape in gender gap within the industry

itself. >> reporter: a quick look around the gaming expo showed how white male dominated the gaming world is. there are few technicians in the well paid industry. >> 50% of players are women. only about 20% of game makers are women. >> reporter: it's an issue debated within the industry for years, with little to show in the way of diversification. as more games appealing to women are made, the content is changing. >> the traditional image of a 15-year-old guy in his basement playing call of duty has been with us so long. we are a young industry, we are maturing and evolving. for sections of the audience, that is hard to take. >> the gaming industry's gender problem was thrown into turmoil when female designers and critics were subjected to online harassment, including death threats. >> that was known as gamer-gate. blogger and critic anita was harassed after writing about the depiction of women in games as sex objects. and about predominance of macho

games. >> i have had death threats, rape threats; family and colleagues harassed and threatened. the intense vitriol we have seen simmering up has been in part due to the fact that the game industry is changing. they are doing everything they can, including drawing violent, aggressive temper tantrums to stop the change from happening, wanting to stop the progress of us having conversations about representations of women, having people colouring games. what are the stories telling us, what messages are being sent. >> international game developers association director kate edwards says the harassment came out of a hate group lurking in the internet's dark underbelly. i have gone to countless women in games event, where we talk about the issues, but nothing happens. this, because of gamer-gate we are finally going see change happen. it was the thing that broke the camel's back. people said, you know what, enough of it.

critics say that the industry is changing, but slowly. industry officials say they are taking steps to encourage more women to work in gaming, and that their goal is having those that create the games better reflect those that play them. . >> he's here robin with the sport. >> i am. thank you. brazil's football captain neymar is out of the next two matches at the copa america, pending an appeal for a 2-match ban for the red card in his team's 1-0 defeat to colombia. depending on the other results, they'll have to win sunday but without neymar sent off for head-butting the colombia scorer. and suspended for a quarterfinal. brazil have 24 hours to appeal. >> translation: i had an issue with one of their defenders, he had an issue with me.

when the game was over and i heard the whistle i kicked the ball and it hit a colombian player. then the defender wanted to get in trouble with him. i looked at him. i made a mistake. it's part of the game. i lost we played badly. i didn't play well either. i acknowledge na and i take full responsibility, now it's up to us to win the next game group c, venezuela kick off against peru shocking colombia a result exciting interest. baseball - lopez is in caracas where the locals are getting behind the team known as the burg andes. >> reporter: against all odds venezuela scored a winning goal against colombia in the first match at the copa america. sunday's surprising result is greeted by many as a change that

has been slow in the making but could amount to something bigger. >> venezuelan footballers are improving, i see now players and goal keepers. we beat the field in the last group stage. >> reporter: overall venezuela's football record is dismal. and yet, according to the technical director of one of the country's biggest training schools, there are more kids playing football than baseball. >> translation: our football is at a breaking point, a wise away. having more players signed by foreign leagues is helping. the upcoming generation is making strides thanks to the older players, and a change in our approach to training. >> reporter: venezuela has been a baseball loving country. several victories could be the first time that change is in the air. it is baseball that has historically defined venezuelans. just as brazilians can play,
