end the minister of foreign affairs came out and said nothing has emerged out of the talks and therefore we're leaving. and we know they are now on their way to the airport back to riyadh. this is a significant blow to the united nations and the international community. let's listen to what he had to say. >> i can assure you, there is no progress for the time being. this is due to the houthis' refusal to respond. we didn't receive any proposal to discuss. i think until now, the [ inaudible ] is at a stand still. >> clearly at the moment there's a stalemate, and the situation in yemen is getting steadily worse. >> reporter: it is and this is the biggest concern now. the whole idea behind geneva was

basically to bring the -- together the warring factions in yemen to agree on a two-week humanitarian truce that would be extended and the reason was to allow aid, food and medicine to get into yemen. that is not going to happen now. the biggest concern now for the international community is you have more violence instability, and suffering of millions of people across the country. the only hope now for yemen is talks between key regional players like saudi arabia and the americans, russians and iranians to try to solve it. if that doesn't happen yemenese will continue to suffer in the coming days and weeks. >> hashem thank you. israel has allowed tens of thousands of palestinians into jerusalem to say friday prayers for ramadan, israel says it is a

goodwill gesture to allow all palestinian men to visit out permits. >> reporter: this man hasn't been to jerusalem in 25 years. this year israel issued him a travel permit. he left his house to get to the crossing at dawn so he could reach jerusalem in time for friday prayers. praying there is a privilege for muslims on the first friday of ramadan. the only reason he was able to get a permit is auz israel is issuing them to gazans who are older than 60 years old. >> translator: i'm so happy that i'm finally going back. we need more easing for all gazans not just the elderly. we want to visit every day, not only on friday. >> reporter: palestinians will be allowed to pray on friday without a permit except for men

under 40 who still have to apply to get one, women face to age restrictions. tens of thousands of palestinians have already applied for permits. >> translator: the least of our rights as palestinian is to be able to move without a permit. i have spent the last four days issuing permits, and it has been humiliating. we are entitled to movement every day without being blocked by anyone. >> reporter: israel says it's a goodwill gesture towards palestinians during ramadan. israel's easement comes at a time of heightened restrictions with palestinians. while happy to be able to travel to jerusalem, most palestinians don't believe their right to worship should be restricted in the first place. the freedom of movement of palestinians is a right guaranteed by international law, but a right continuously limited

by israel. >> for them to occasionally allow more people or less people on other times, the whole system is unacceptable and must be abolished by international law. >> reporter: while these measures temporarily ease restrictions for some palestinians israel's continuing occupation remains an issue which isn't being resolved. the gunman arrested for the shooting in the u.s. state of south carolina has now been charged. south carolina state governor is calling for the 21 year old to get the death penalty. >> this is an absolute hate crime, and i have been talking with investigators as they were going through the interviews and they said they looked pure evil in the eye yesterday. nine families, nine people were

people were taking over and he wanted to start a civil war, so clearly someone who had some serious issues but it has raised a great deal of issues we heard president obama for the 14th time talking about gun control in this country and this country's dark racial past. >> and andy people there, of course, still coming to terms with the tragedy that happened at the church. how are they coping? what are they doing to come to terms with this? >> reporter: this church has been an amazing scene over the past 24 hours. people constantly filing in. it is quiet because people are back at work now, and charleston has been determined to get back to normal soon as possible. but take a look at some of the headlines, hate in america. this is a community that is trying to come together. they are fairly defiant. let's take a look at what has happened over the past few hours.

u.s.'s dark racial past and raised the issue of gun control. >> at some point we as a country will have to reckon 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: why are young while male specific choose this church and allegedly take the lives of nine people? but here people don't want to concentrate concentrate on the crime, at charleston this is a time of healing. >> this happened in our community. somebody came here to harm us to start trouble with us and we're not going to let it happen here in charleston. >> we're going to show humbleness and love. >> reporter: there is a determination to heal as one city, but it may be a painful and long process. dylann roof will appear for court for the first time this

afternoon, but the crime is not what people here want to concentrate on. this is a community that is coming together and wrapping their arms around each other, and more than anything else remembering the lives of the nine people that were killed. >> andy thank you very much indeed for that. andy gallagher in charleston there. now tunisia say it will close it console late in libya, following the kidnapping of ten of its staff. seven were freed on friday and the other three were released today. this comes after the extradition of a member of the libyan dawn government. they denied the staff were released in exchange for the extradition. coming up here on the program, we'll tell you why soldiers in honduras are taking over hospitals and medical storage warehouses. many children traumatized by
