have the death penalty. this is the worst case i have seen and the country have seen in a long time. we'll fight this as hard as we can. >> prayer vigils have been held around the u.s. very familiars and their loved ones. these scenes at an inter-faith vigil in the city of philadelphia have been repeated at churches the length and breadth of the country. let's get the latest from andy gallagher in charl son. really impossible to imagine what the relatives of the victims must have felt like. emotional scenes in court today. just take us through proceedings and what we heard from some of the other relatives. >> i have to say i don't think viwitnessed anything quite like that at an arraignment hearing. family members talking to the alleged attacker and hugely emotional terms. you heard the judge getting

quite emotional talking about charleston as a community. we heard from one person in the clip and others alishia sanders said we welcomed you with open arms, you have killed some of the most brave people i know. alana simmons said although my grandfather died at the hands of fate everyone is praying for your soul. this is just repeated time and time again by each and every member of the victim's families. each of them forgiving the young man for his crimes. i think this speaks to the community about how they have reacted to this. they don't want for this young man to take away from the sense of belonging here, the sense of healing here. that's been evident throughout the time the last two-days i have been understand sting -- standing outside the church. people are streaming in all day flafort 24

laying down flowers. the scenes in the courtroom were the most powerful scenes we have seen so far in last few days of this horrible incident. people gunned down holding a prayer meeting. this young man allegedly walked into this church a full hour benefit opening fire and even told investigators at one point he almost didn't do it because these people were simply so nice to him. i think in court at this hearing you saw that. you witnessed that and heard it firsthand. it was incredibly emotional. and. throughout that whole hearing you are looking at the pictures and seen the pictures. he showed no emotion whatsoever. he was listening to all of the words from the victims saying you took away my loved one but i forgive you. he didn't flinch not once. there was no sign of emotion from this young man who will not be released and put on bail. he has no chance of getting out of jail with the charges given.

incredible scenes in that courtroom and on going incredible scenes going on outside the church here in charleston. >> they were. thank you, andy. giving us a sense of the feeling on the ground there today in south carolina. now u.n. brokered talks aimed at ending the war in yemen without the the do sides sitting down in the same am radio. they are room. they are due to leave over the weekend after not reaching an environment. the u.n. envoy says the ceasefire is still possible and the door is open for further dialogue. >> we believe if there is a further conversation we can reach the possibility of

a ceasefire and a withdrawal. we feel that it requires some farther conversation and we can achieve it pretty soon. i remain optimistic on this one. >> we have been following the talks in geneva. >> reporter: the hope is remembered determined that the violence has to stop before they coo move can move forward and you have two different sides and neither party is willing to make concessions. the u.n. has not been able to reconcile those differences. there is a growing sentiment among the international community there needs to be a ceasefire any time soon. millions had high hopes against the potential of ceasefire in

geneva. that is not happening. this is bad news for yemenis. the international community will jump in and the russians, the american the europeans the iranians and the saudis are now the ones who can pull the strings and try to find an immediate truce diewrgs during the month of ramadan. >> in yemen 10 have been killed in the north of the country by saudi led war planes. the united nations has appealed for 1.6 billion for yemen in need of aid. supplies are running low and a possible outbreak of denghi fever poseing a challenge.

the european bank has agreed to increase support for greece after a run on the banks. it is worth to be 3.4 billion and expected to tied the banks over until monday when more may be needed. that's still less than the 4.2 billion customers have withdrawn in the last week. it's almost twice the amount of money currently at the center of the impasse, 1.8 billion repayment the greek government is due to make by the end of the month. we get more. jooshts the run on greek banks has accelerateed to a stampede in recent days. cash machines are being emptied customers having to wait while they are refilled. the european central bank held an emergency session to approve 2.2 billion to keep greece's banks in business. this just two-days after granting 1.2 billion. greek depositors withdrew more than a billion on friday

bringing the total to the week -- the athens stock market plunged by 10%. it the culmination of a vote of no confidence by people. a quarter of deposits and a fifth of stock market values have disappeared. there is still a real risk athens could be forceed to impose capital controls, a cap on withdraws as cypress did in 2013. as greetion's finance minister was trying to secure more money his prime minister was signing a pipeline deal and is in no mood to compromise. >> the european union we are a part of should find its way back to toidarity dsocial justice by sticking to austerity and policies policies that -- that aggravate the recession, this is impossible.

>> aght lens>> reporter: aght athens must make a payment by the end of the month or possibly be force the out of the single currency. >> we do not have a guarantee for that. if the greeks are seriously ready and getting their budget in order and make steps then it is possible. >> we hope for the best, but we must be prepared for the worst. >> reporter: the pressure on greece's cash machines mirrors the strain on the leaders as they reject demands to cut government spending further. still to come: as politicians prepare to sign a peace deal, these fighters get ready for war. will the guns ever fall silent? and a million children missing as nepal struggles to

>> welcome back. let's update you on the top stories. in the past hour are the gunman arrested after the church shootings in the united states has appear immediate court via video link. he was charge the with nine counts of murder and one charge of possession of a weapon used in a violent crime. the peace talks break up in geneva.

the yemen envoy hopes a ceasefire can still be reached. the greece central bank saw millions being withdrawn. one person has been killed during clashes between egyptian police and muslim brotherhood protestors. he died during morning prayers. similar clashes have erupted in other parts of the country. tens of thousands of palestinians have park packed into israel. >> reporter: this year israel issued him a travel permit. he left at dawn to reach in time

for friday prayers at the mosque. praying there is a privilege for muslinl muslims. the only way he was able to get permit is because israel are issuing them to those over 65 years old. >> i'm happy i am going back for a long period. the easing of restrictions is good but we need for more not just the elderly. >> reporter:ital stinnians from the occupied west bank will be allowed to pray on fridays without a permit, except for men under 40, who still have to apply to get one. women face no age restriction. tens of thousands of palestinians have applied for permits. >> to be able to move without a permit. i spent the last four days issuing permits and it's been

humiliating. we are entitled to the right of movement without being blocked by anyone. >> reporter: israel says it's a good will gesture during ramadan. the easing of movement restrictions comes at a time of heightened tensions withital with palestinians and the absence of peace talks. most palestinians believe there right to worship should not be restricted. it's a right guaranteed by international raw law but limited by israel. >> per them to occasionally allow more people in or less people at other times the whole system is unacceptable and must be abolished. >> reporter: while these measures ease restrictions for some palestinian israel's continuing occupation remains

a permanent issue that isn't being resolved. groups are expected to sign an agreement to end several years of fighting in mali. large areas were seized by al qaeda fighters and separatist rebels. france intervensed to drive them out. but they continued to press their demand for a separate state n. may talks brokered by the u.n. and algiers the refused to siefnlt many fighters still have fights about the deal. >> deal. >> quiet moments like this are rare and brief in the life. the leaders have just agreed on

a new deal with the government which is supposed to end the conflicts. as the politicians prepare to sign peace feas fighters -- these fighters get ready for war. >> whoever talks of ending the conflict talks nonsense. it's a big lie. it can't be ended with the stroke of a pen. as long as we are denied territorial separation there will be no end to the war. >> reporter: the arab rebels are in control of the area. they made new gains pushing the armey further south. the majority of them rejected the new peace treaty and issued this statement. >> our political leaders sign whatever agreement they want to sign and give whatever concessions they want to give, but for us here on the ground these fighters tell me this is not the end of the war and not the end of the struggle. rebels look for an independent

state but they only get a type of local administration. perhaps the biggest sticking point of any deal is the disarming of the fighters which is strongly rejected here. >> as long as there is no separation there will be no disarmament. it's not mali who gave us the wep orntion we paid for them with our own blood. >> we handed over our weapons in 1993 but they destride the weapons -- destroyed the weapons and two years later killed our people. >> reporter: those statements and the complexity on the ground are in the way of real peace on the ground. with confrontation around the town, some go as far as to predict a new and major war across the north. three men have been arrested in ind.

still not usable. they had to close because of damage caused by the quake. we get the latest. >> reporter: she he is petrified. when the earthquake shook his town he was playing with his friends. a father younger brother and neighbor were watching tv and their house fell down, killing all three of them. now he doesn't want to stray too far from his mother, not even to go to school. he is scared of more earthquakes. >> even in the shelter he panics and asks me to run at the slightest aftershock. with his father gone it has been difficult for him. he keeps saying he misses his younger brother. he looks at his picture and starts crying joorgt the. >> reporter: the earthquake in in april skilled

65 children in this district alone. 1 million children may miss class all across nepal. some schools are too dangerous to enterand temporary classrooms are set up. it's weak day and none of the children are in class. the government says school has resumed but this was forced to close down. the government ordered schools nationwide to reopen may 31st but many are still closed. the buildings aren't ready neither are teachers. >> we realize fear has deeply rooted in the psyche. they are scared. it's not just the children, others are traum iz traumatized. >> reporter: they plan to have 15,000 temporary

more than learning centers before the monsoons make the task impossible. >> we need as much manpower as soon as possible and have to work with our development partners. many children don't have textbooks. collection of data on migration is a priority. >> reporter: the loss of family, friends and homes weighs heavy on the the minds of these small children. more than a ton of confiscated ivory has been crushed in times square. it was placed on a conveyer belt and fed into a mechanical crusher where it was pulverized into dust. 35,000 elephants are killed in africa every year for their ivory and that is endangering the animals next there.

is still plenty of demand. we find out how easy it is to buy in the u.s. >> reporter: in parts of africa, elhaven'ts are elephants are being wiped out for their i'vere ivory tufng tusks. the slaughter is accelerateing. >> we have good statistics that show between 2010 and 2012 as much as 100,000 elephants were killed for their ivory. if those rates continue, we are looking at extinges within the next decade. >> reporter: poachers do the killing but the demand from china and the united states are the two biggest markets for elephant ivory. this is the china town section of san francisco. we saw many ivory objects for

sale. while the u.s. bans importation and sale of new i'veee ivory tusks there is a loophole and teeth ivory is antique ivory is legal. it is often treated to make it look old. >> over 85. >> you don't have to visit china town to find ivory for sale. there is plenty of it available just a few key board clicks away on the internet. in march the internation will fund for animal welfare conducted a survey craigs whether is and found more han500 ivory or suspected ivory items for sale. >> all together those items were advertised for 1.5 million. >> reporter: that's just a fraction. >> there are many platforms out there.

the big ones like ebay, craigs list has a lot of traffic and other, smaller sites. >> reporter: california law makers are pushing a new law bang all sales of ivory no matter how hold in america's most populous state. animal rights activists say the california law is an important step setting an example for other states and other countries and just possibly helping to stop the elephants' march to oblivion. 200 years since the defeat of napoleon, the battle field at waterloo is echoing to the sounds of drums trumpets and bagpipes. these are live pictures right now from belgium where a week-long reenatment is taking

place to remember a battle a turning point in european history and cost the lives of some 45,000 people. live pictures of that reenactment taking place. 200 years late but relevant. we get the report from the battle field. >> reporter: here we see the emp orsulak in emporrer in the camp and they are shouting long live the emporrer. he thinks he is going to win we know he won't. and here are napoleon's men preparing to fight the battle of waterloo. one of the interesting thing is how the french government itself has stayed away. some people have joked it is simply because the french are bad losers. i think the reasons are a bit more comp complicated than that. attitudes towardna napoleon are complex. he is seen as an extraordinary

general and someone who created a french domination all over europe. and he is respected for that. he is seen as a dictator and so france officially doesn't quite know how to commemorate its most famous son. business... worth more than 17 billion dollars a year and growing.
