her. we will get back to you shortly. in the meantime the u.n. says it needs $1.6 billion in humanitarian aid for yemen to prevent a catastrophe. comes as the war in factions resume talks in geneva to try to reach a truce but deep divisions remain and scuffles broke out on thursday after a shoe was thrown at the head of the delegation and we report from geneva. >> reporter: from the mountains of sanaa to the united nations in geneva the journey that sums 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 is a charm offensive saying he is here to talk about peace and turn the chapter of 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: talks have not started yet because the houthi malitias and representatives have no vision. we hope they join talks brokered by the u.n. and recognize the legitimacy of the government. >> reporter: former president saleh and ally control the republican guard and elite army unit blamed for shelling civilian areas. we have been firing rockets at neighborhoods in thai to repel all push by tribesmen loyal to president haidi and says the army should stay intact to protect yemen. >> translator: military establishments which is constantly being pounded by the saudi-led coalition is the only guaranty against a 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 under mine by malitia and al-qaeda. >> reporter: the houthi press conference turned into a scuffle when people from the south accused 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. >> we are live in geneva and it took forever to get them to the table, right, and then they get to the table and the tensions are so deep that people are throwing shoes, what can we possibly expect today? >> reporter: well the united nations was hoping to bring the

different factions in yemen to start genuine talks here in geneva. that didn't happen. so far, so far the united nations envoy was only able to go to the hotel where houthis are based and talk to them about the need to agree on a number of seven numbers or members from the party of the saleh to come to the office of the united nations here and start separate talks that could pave the way to an agreement on a ceasefire. it didn't happen at all. the differences are really deep that the united nations is not going to be able to reconcile them. the united nations, a spokesperson for the united nations said earlier that still they hopes there may be some sort of agreement later in the day but understand from our sources that the government delegation is flying back to riyadh tomorrow and the houthi delegation is flying back to sanaa on sunday. the likelihood of a deal to be pinned down here at geneva is really slim.

>> so it seems like it was just a futile exercise and all the while this is happening the humanitarian crisis continues to worsen in yemen. has anybody addressed that? >> well, united nations agencies operating in sanaa held a press conference here saying that basically they are concerned about the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the country and appealing on the different parties to observe a humanitarian truce so their people could travel across the country to provide aid to those who need it and reach out to the thousands of people who have been stranded and to deliver food medicine and aid to millions of yemen people. the biggest concern that continues this month, this situation would further get worse. now the international community is now putting more pressure on representatives of the houthis and also the government that this should come up with some sort of agreement on a humanitarian truce to be

extended later. the problem we have now is two different narratives the government says we want the houthis to stop fighting and pull out and houthis on the other hand want saudi arabia to stop air strikes before we get into serious talks. the talks have been stalled because of this problem. >> all right live from geneva thank you. human rights watch has called on the eu to ease influence and resources to use them rather to address migration including systemic rights violation that force people to flee their countries and it's the deadliest route and tens of thousands are still making the journey in hopes of a better life. in 2014 more than 219,000 people made the crossing. ten and a half thousand were children traveling alone to italy. in the first five months of this year 60% of migrants crossing

the mediterranean came from syria, aratreaa afghanistan and somalia. using italy as a transit port to each other european destinations. al jazeera's diplomatic editor james base sat down with italy foreign minister and asked if the migration plan needs a political solution in war-torn libya first. >> you mentioned migration, the european union is also trying to deal with the problem of all these people coming towards the eu by sea across the mediterranean. does the migration plan the eu has now have to wait for the political agreement in libya? >> well in some parts of this plan europe is working since long time and europe has to multiply its efforts. what is linked to a more general

international framework is the initiative, the defense initiative that the european union will probably decide next monday against traffickers and smugglers to identify these criminals, to try to realize their boats. >> but you had original will you would have this u.n. solution before you and the other european foreign ministers you say monday you decided to go down that city council root and don't have agreement of the libyan government and we know that some permanent members, russia for example, has certainly some questions about your plan. >> we are not talking about smugglers and human traffickers to hide military intervention in libya. there is no idea at all from european union from italy, from

other european countries to find a way for a military intervention in libya. >> you say that but russia thinks it was fooled in 2011. >> this is why i'm trying to reassuring the permanent members of the security council and russia and china specifically of the fact that our goal is to fight these criminals and this should be a common goal. >> reporter: around 150 migrants marked the first day of ramadan and cannot cross into france because police blocked border crossing due to influx of migrants, the migrants live in makeshift accommodations by the sea. germany is set to double the amount it spends on processing asylum seekers this year. many companies are calling for new rules on when asylum seekers

can start working so qualified migrants can get jobs sooner and dominick cane reports from berlin. >> reporter: he works at a factory in southern berlin. he has been an intern here for a few months. mohamed came here after fleeing the fighting in mali and traveled across the desert and the mediterranean sea to get to europe and he could not get a job as the law prevents people in his situation from working in their first three months. >> translator: here we are if a country where there are really tough laws against foreigners for me yes, perhaps now things are possible. the problem is the authorities, the people who may "yes" or "no" decisions about people like me. >> reporter: the man who gave mohamed a job is ceo and he believes more firms should follow his example and the germany should consider

streamlining the law to allow professional asylum seekers to start working much sooner. >> the general election with permission steps are not really very bureaucratic so if we have a person and his possibilities are there, we could be happy not only as company but as germany to get people quicker in jobs and have the chance to integrate from our community. >> reporter: but the question is whether the german government is prepared to change the law regarding asylum seekers. germany processes more asylum applications per year than anywhere else and angela merkel said germany will play the role and other eu countries must also bear their reability

sponsability. on thursday she had a meeting with states and they are the ones who have to house, feed and to integrate asylum seekers into society. >> translator: the federal government and the states will need financial help this year and important to point out with the elections we are not drying a line starting talks on how we can take responsibility in the future. >> reporter: back at the factory, it is concentrating on his work. now he wants to perfect his german and plan for the future. dominick cane al jazeera, berlin. let's return to our top story now, thousands of palestinians taking part in first friday prayers for the holly holly ramadan and eased restrictions for worshippers and we are at damascus gate one of the entrances to the old city of jerusalem and having a difficult time hearing me so let's me get

to it, what have the crowds been like? the prayers began just a few minutes ago. >> muslims started praying in the mosque and we are hearing tens of thousands who have been able to come from different parts of the west bank and gaza to pray on the first friday of ramadan after israel resided to lift restrictions on the movement of palestinians. it's allowing palestinians from the west bank to come on friday to perform prayers without applying for permits unless they are men under the age of 40 women are not facing restrictions. residents of gaza a few hundred of them over the age of 60 will be allowed to apply for permits to also come on friday and perform prayers and they are also going to be allowed to visit family members and relatives in the west bank during the month of ramadan and israel is calling this good-will gesture and came after a positive security assessment carried out by the israeli army

and we don't know the real reason for why israel decided to significantly reduce restrictions. some analysts say that israel wants to contain and absorb the frustration of palestinians living under occupation and if you speak to many of the people who have taken the long journey to come here whether from the west bank or gaza they say that they are very happy to be here but it's their right to worship and it's their right to be able to visit jerusalem and the restrictions placed by israel should never be there in the first place and that is their feeling any frustration under occupation it's due to restrictions imposed by israel and many palestinians happy to be here but think it should be the case everyday and should be able to get access to jerusalem which is a right guaranty under international law all the time, not just during the holy month of ramadan. >> thank you, and live from east jerusalem. 7 tunisia staff kidnapped in libya a week ago have now been

evidence that agreements have failed and we don't know that yet. i mean there is a prospect for an agreement next monday. we also want to see whether the ecb will move to eligible collateral and this is a decision for next week again, if there is no agreement. finally we have to see the exact pace of the deposit outflows. so let's be a little bit optimistic and let's take a deep, deep breath and try to say this as calmly as possible. >> how much of a possibility, how realistic is it that greece may be forced to adopt a new currency? >> well i think we have a bit of a road to get to that. we cannot underestimate the sobering meeting on monday, the

euro zone which will be proceeded by the euro zone or the euro meeting. we are hoping this will at least make the greek government realize finally what is at stake because i really think there are no plans for an alternative currency. i don't know how this currency will be put in place. i don't think the mechanisms are there and of course europe is not prepared for a new currency either because there are all these technical and legal issues. once you open up the pan pandora box only people come out of it. >> we appreciate this so much and again two weeks to the deadline and another meeting scheduled and i'm sure we will be calling on you again. thank you. international investors and kremlin officials in st. petersburg for the economic
